@@r2d187 yes they did one of them specifically generalized all black men in their answer.

[@r2d187]

​@@bigphyne2002 Ok, ONE of them-but the OP said ALL. There's nothing wrong with making generalizations if it's a fact that applies to the majority. And all that is required for a majority is 50 + 1. Of course they can't speak for all-but it doesn't have to be all in order to still generally be true. Seems like some here are absolutely devastated that these views may somehow mischaracterize them to the world & so stating the obvious has become of utmost & supreme importance. Newsflash-Did you also hear the breaking news that water is also wet?

[@shelleylombard3063]

Can CNN ever tell the truth how do people even watch this?

[@Niababey01]

I don't think these men understand what an acceptance speech was supposed to embody and address. It was not a state of the union speech.

Last time I checked, the prices at the grocery store were the same for black & white men

[@TRUMP_IS_YOUR_NEXT_PRESIDENT]

*Cheaper for blacks as they typically pay via EBT, you see.*

[@crand20033]

Yes but the blacks get food stamps so they have more limitations.

[@wigawaga1]

Not how we are treated in the injustice system

[@TheKavebear1]

Yep, grocery prices are the same for everyone. But the ability to get a home loan a car loan or any loan at decent interest rates aren't. The opportunity to live in a neighborhood with safer schools better schools is not available to many people of color. As much progress as we made after the civil Rights act there's still much more to go. We do not walk the same walk as you. You just have to search Karen videos on KZbin to see how little has changed.

[@Cefshah]

The price of 'groceries' isn't all that Black people are concerned with. Blacks face extreme existential threats from the political Right. In fact, it is absolutely disturbing.

[@missindependent179]

These men are so worried about the economy not being talked about, but looking at their surroundings, it doesn't look like they are living in poverty. Let's talk to real American people, the ones who are actually struggling.

Stop talking about race! We are Americans. The Constitution is for all of us.

[@funnybones9321]

Maybe if at a time it was for all of us we probably could stop talking about race...

[@kateg1579]

So by ignoring race you think that racism won’t exist??? I’m so tired of people that aren’t the impacted minority say this crap. You are probably an individual that doesn’t acknowledge black people in society.

[@sainttheresetaylor2054]

why would we stop talking about race when it still affects people? racial minorities are still subject to racism in america (and across the world). therefore, their race is unfortunately an important part of their lives. and in society, we talk about important issues. get it? have you noticed how it's mainly white people and bigots who complain about 'bringing up race'? people who aren't affected by racism (micro-aggressions, discrimination, lack of representation, full blown hate/dehumanisation, white supremacy and colonisation around the globe). of course, people who haven't experienced historical/systematic judgment based on their race or those who are adamant on acting delusional do not think it's a big deal, that doesn't make it true. it means they need to learn empathy, open their mind , come down to earth and get comfortable facing the tough parts of reality without trying to sweep them under the rig with this 'stop talking about race/gender' bullshit. we'll stop talking about race and gender when people stop dehumanising others, based on their race and gender. just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't happening.

[@rickcaldwell2862]

Only one problem with this is Harris isn't black.

[@TetragrammatonMan]

Why does it matter at all what the color of the US citizen's skin looks like when the discussion is the direction of the country and the policies / action steps that will get us there. The title should have been "what 6 unrelated men think of Kamala Harris for president"

[@sisterbettycomedy]

If any President does not have a supporting Senate or Congress, then it doesn't matter what policies he/she promises, it won't happen. Voting down ballot is key.

[@jamesmortonjr.3722]

Like most of the black men have been saying in their comments on this video, a lot of the things those five black men said doesn’t represent how all black men feel about the issues they were discussing in this particular video as a whole in this country.

Who cares about a speech off a teleprompter to a friendly crowd? If I'm buying a car I don't care about the dealers favorite recipe, I want info about the car, a test drive and a price.

Over a month of shucking and ducking, If she won't let her policies be scrutinized how can you even begin to trust her? Wake up black men, you're about to be bamboozeled once again.

As a black man, I think these five guys each represented the diverse views of black men. We are not the same.

Obviously none of them represent the view from the trap, but we all know black men like these five guys.

How in the hell can anyone call themselves Black and even contemplate an "idea" of voting for trump?

This is amazing to me. At this point, there shouldn’t be a debate on who gets your vote. If it’s a debate, then it tells me a lot about who you are. It’s not about being a democrat or republican. It’s about being a patriot and the direction and progress for our country. I hear too many tRump talking points on repeat. I don’t see how anyone in their right, sound mind would vote orange. Sounds like some men are willing to accept the behavior, lack of education, dictator mindset of a 34 count felon who is willing to compromise our country and turn us back in time then to accept a smart, strong, intelligent woman to bring this country away from a nightmare. This “panel” has shades of strong chauvinism.

[@dariusdikembe1837]

For all the black men saying these gentlemen do not represent you, lets explore the demographic: 1. Younger black male seemingly gay who is a Harris supporter. 2. Seemingly well educated black male who gives the impression he would vote Trump but may vote for Harris bc its the right thing to do for the disapora. 3. Father who is active in his home with wife and kids. Seemingly will vote Harris but ia concerned if she has evolved into a better leader 4. A well eductaed and successful black conservative who seems to be a staunch Trump supporter. 5. As he said, he is a fiscal conservative but socially liberal. He isnt a Democrat or Republican. But seems like he will vote Harris. Soooooo with that in mind, I am so confused why none of these men would fit most molds. I dont think anyone would want yo relate to someone broke, black, and uneducated. So these are great representations of how the average Black man looks and acts today.
