[@virginiamiller4890]

Thank you for bringing this to the public's attention. I greatly appreciate it!

[@NandoGriffiths]

100% there’s information that needs to be transferred. Now generations and those before should ask

Black Americans are amazing, and their love for this country despite how it treats them... Amazing.

[@Dailymemes9000]

love is a strong word. i don’t love this country. you can’t love a place that treated you’re ancestors like that. like its amazing at this point. how evil and diabolical do you have to be to treat people like that who was fighting for this country? like imagine that. and they wonder why nobody wants to join the military. look how bad they do the ones they got now🤣🤣😂 but i appreciate the ones i see everyday that come across the world. the world is bigger then america. and i plan to explore it

[@Remember_Tuvix]

😮

[@kamaap]

Yet they hate America?

[@mobleyMobley]

What a load of nonsense

[@patasam]

Retired Air Force-- we did learn about General Benjamin O. Davis Jr. and the Tuskegee Airman. It's unfortunate that Hollywood doesn't get it.

[@clo5671]

He is so charming.

[@jackkyle5457]

I'm an angry old white guy (72). In 1958 or 59, I bought a book (one of many) from "My Weekly Reader" in elem. school. A biography: "George Washington Carver". That was in Salem, MA, where I also learned about the Boston "Massacre" and a man named Crispus Attucks. I've read alot since then, forgetting most of what I've read. I may offend some, but I've never been a fan of Black History Month or even "Black" history. It's American history and should be included in every era because Americans of African descent have created history in every era. There's way too much of it to confine to the shortest and one of the coldest months of the year😊. I can understand the need to highlight it though.

[@JP-jd8wr]

Well put. It's a shame there needs to be a month to highlight something that should be etched in history the same as other stories. Somehow we have people who believe in this fake made up confederate glorification but not stories like this and what you mentioned.

[@pacoeltaco79]

It's always interesting to me what people did and didn't learn growing up. I'm from Santa Cruz, CA, a super liberal surf town, and learned about Black history in our country, including watching & reading "Roots" in HS. My town & schools are about 90% white and nobody ever questioned any of the material. We learned about Attucks, Tubman, John Brown, etc... I'm 1st gen Dominican-American so I see our history through Black, Brown and White lenses. The concept of whitewashing history is somewhat foreign to me.

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Thanks so much

I wonder if this is why there's never been a movie about Frederick Douglass -- they'd have to pay his family.

[@moniehookemomolu2845]

Is Doug Melville still in his George Santos Halloween costume?

[@kamaap]

I did nothing and I’m riding in the coattails if my family.

[@karyncummings4401]

Anyone else see a physical resemblance of Mr. Melville ro congressperson George Santos? Im freaking out.

[@ateamfan42]

it's the glasses

[@Sassmouth4.0]

👀🤚

[@ClintElder-qj1qu]

​@@ateamfan42 and the hair and the outfit...

[@pacoeltaco79]

😆😆 That was my first reaction too! 😆😆

[@clo5671]

The tie...alter ego

[@808bigisland]

Is George Santos Mr Melville?

[@traderss.market]

Iam new viewer

[@laalaa99stl]

Now you just need to turn it into a movie. Hopefully by anyone other than Tyler Perry. Unless you want "I Can Do Airport Security By Myself." Maybe Oprah would fund it.

[@cecegiles7753]

At least Tyler Perry. has the ability to make it. What exactly could you do to contribute in making a movie?????????????........ NOTHING😅😅😅😅

[@raywil98]

Yes!!! The movie

[@rosemariestef7538]

Did you Ever stop to think that George Lucas Did Not know the real story. Have you Ever tried to Contact George Lucas and ask him Why? He is after all married to a Black woman and I don't think it was his intention to mislead the public or Not Pay them their due respect for the story?

[@sosome1]

Daily show has gone down the drain

[@joshkirkendollkirkendoll]

What

[@koryburdet1317]

Hmmm..and I wonder who runs Hollywood 🤔

[@Sassmouth4.0]

Who are old white men? I'll take Hollywood again for $200, Alec.

[@jasonknowles692]

Desantis got strong 🎉

[@mobleyMobley]

Daily show has become a daily joke.

[@smileearthlings.829]

The Daily show should've ended with Jon Stewart.
