What an outstanding person! Imagine if world leaders were even half as articulate and intelligent as Marianne.

[@courtneysalmon7826]

"Drown out 'dog whistles' with Angels voices..." WOW, I wholeheartedly agree, thank you Marianne!

[@linsil164]

I will become US citizen jut to be able vote for her.. she is my hero!

[@momobronx7735]

Very powerful stuff and very real. She is on point for sure

[@J3ferguson]

She's amazing!!!

[@TheReverendQ]

Amazing detailed and wonderful conversation you're having with our country #MarianneWilliamson. Thank you. Keep going. Keep running. Keep speaking. Keep leading. We love you!

[@Maddie9185]

Damn she needs to teach this to every American adult and also this needs to be taught in school at an early age and until HS.

[@gretchenschaffer3152]

Get real and do the right thing is the bottom line on all policies now. Mariannne is so spot on, and this message needs to get out to the public in all her travels now. Marianne, I wish you continuing health . Please add to your itinerary a schedule of deep rest and rejuvenating health treatments. You represent me, and for this journey you must stay rested!

[@Nora-ym3hy]

Marianne, thank you! This is so moving and brilliant. I am hoping you will get to appear in the debates so more people can hear this message.

[@jayoh4542]

Speak that TRUTH!!

[@freshencounter]

She has so much to share that can help mend the wounds of our nation. I hope all will listen and share. You don’t have to vote for her, and using her as a gauge will deeply impact your decision. Miriam is talking about Faith, not fear.

[@free2goonjuly]

Listening to you, Marianne, made it possible for me to imagine people ready now to get together publicly and atone for pain and wrong done to ourselves and each other... atone silently, from the heart, in the wholeness of their being... as communities or as nations. A premise for reparation, for clearing memories, heavy hearts and consciousness. I would say that to be able to repair with money, no matter what that value is, we first should change the way we see money, the reason we want to gain them or to offer them. I am so thankful for what you put on the table! I wish you health and strength on this incredible journey you took on!

[@toolboxevolution7456]

Love you, MW. Will be donating again soon! 💪👏👍💯🇺🇸🙏🎇🎉🎊🎈🙌 Stay crisp! Keep the bass in it!!!

[@garrygballard8914]

Thank you for finally laying it all out on the table. I have believed it for sometime now. I just haven't been able to put it all together. So thank you for this. This is also the basses to many of our personal issues as well.

[@amywilhelm7508]

" We need to display love with conviction as some people display hate. " Let us all step forward on thou path!

[@Mspeahoe]

This is my favorite talk of yours Marianne.

[@danblaize5742]

I love listening to her, she’s so sharp!

[@danblaize5742]

Amyls64, none of them are. I’ll put my money on sharp for starters

[@stp479]

True! Western society doesn't even feel it as she and other cultural Marxists kill it with a thousand cuts.

[@patrickwilliams8646]

Marianne...thanks for being you...you speak so well good luck in changing the conversations

[@amyjones2490]

So happy that you also mentioned the native Americans. They deserve so much more than we have offered. We as a nation continue to oppress their nations.

[@Isachanya]

Go Marianne!

[@Osazeone]

Tis The Season for Reparations!!!!

[@sistersaffire1773]

America Has Never Stopped Kicking.

[@stevecoley8365]

Reparations will stimulate the economy far more than "trickle down" theory.

[@romanilies119]

My expectations were very low before watching this in terms of the practicality of how reparation should be implemented. But this convinced me. Germany is a good example of how this could be done. And yes, in one way or another, this should be done.Thank you Marianne. Your voice is important in the Democratic Primary.

[@corytateesq.7231]

Thanks for your support!!

[@stp479]

@John C Spot on, you can see the exploited sentiments fairly oozing from these white knight comments.

[@judekasdan4748]

Thank you, Marianne! This is an awesome talk that I would love to see go viral!! I would like to add, possibly call it a request, that when doing a talk like this again that you include the reparations still needed for the Native American population. While programs have been started, it does not address the deeper issues similar to what you have talked about with respect to the Blacks and Jews. I hope you read this yourself... thank you for listening and doing what you are doing. I always knew there was hope for our country if we remembered who we really are as spiritual beings FIRST and truly let that be our guide. Blessings. Jude

[@ppronny12345]

The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews A must read Marianne it was her people who bring the slaves to America

[@michaelhyman7111]

@John C ,You may be white or not, but what you don't see is the slave masters children and grand children are dying off, not being born, or killing them self off. Do you not know Karma, have taken over from what have not been done. Our parents prayed for America, because they hoped for the dream; my generations not praying for America, we praying for China,Iran, and Russia, to bring this nation to its knees.That we might get a hold on things; rebuild apart of it " This Nation " for self. In my dreams I have seen the outcome and time is running out for this Nation; You better hope that her " Marianne, get this on a national level and it stick; see the prayers have changed for this nation. They where the prayers of my people ( my parents ) that has been holding back the Raft of Karma /God, to give this nation time to change. You have not been watching the weather; that my ancestors raft slowly building up all over this earth. The world knows something coming. Soon the world will turn on itself white on white infighting. The generation, of our youth prayers are now going into play, and they say destroy this nation by any means possible; they want this country off their back !!! Karma, is real Amen !!!!

Speechless...... Marianne all my support ...... Marianne 2020 for President Of 🇺🇸

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

i have something to say...why wasn't i paying more attention to you when you were in public places giving speeches like this?....having to speak for hours on end every day may not be good for your spirituality which seems perfectly legitimate. i care about you and worry about you. i hope you win in 2024!

[@elleMerci_bey]

Reparations are deserved and would heal our country as a whole.

[@s.goodie]

Erin Bailey that’s just the tip of the iceberg in this country.

[@s.goodie]

John C wait, who’s fomenting hate though? Would love for you to put into context why you think “the war on drugs” and so called “affirmative action” were “enough” in America.

[@elleMerci_bey]

John C so you think broad programs like going after poverty or affirmative action address the suffering and psychological torture of slavery and Jim Crow? If so, that is a very ignorant line of thinking. If you really care about enlightenment and educating yourself, I would suggest you read some of the books and essays available that examine why reparations are necessary. Also, what does hate have to do with this conversation?

[@lilo5591]

Wow! Excellent speech. Holistic Healing of a National Guilt/Debt, the way all healing is done!

[@144Donn]

How can anyone consider voting for another person? In my mind there is only one choice and it is MW 2020!

[@maxwelllittle3562]

#ADOS #Reparations2020 she got my vote 🗳

[@wiseteacher3599]

John C Show some respect for your next president.

[@shannonelhartcounselor9582]

@@wiseteacher3599 amen. John C Reparations are overdue. We never ended slavery, we just moved it into prisons, and we've had domestic terrorism for decades (for example - organized white supremacy). The only way we will save our country and the world is by building connections, not walls. Owning the poor choices made that have limited black people since forcing them here in chains is part of the process of healing.

[@mattn6936]

Marry me!!! I'm sure you'd find my mercurial personality and naivety refreshingly boring lol. Seriously though, I love who you are and I've been listening intently to your messages. I also support your candidacy with all my soul. Mainstream media may be blocking you out but you have an army of 'us' behind you and paying attention any way we can. Peace always

[@KevinASullivan]

I was there for this talk absolutely wonderful. It’s a Shame the women who spoke before Marianne was not included in the video she was also a powerful spiritual speaker.

[@JoeyAfrika]

We are owed reparations for Jim Crow and Iran contra/mass incarceration as well

[@JoeyAfrika]

@John C was it free bucks when the US gave thousands of acres to whites from 1870-1920s? Was it free bucks when the USDA gave interest free loans to white farmers? Was it free bucks when VA and FHA through redling gave hillbillies such as yourself multi million dollar suburb?

[@Maddie9185]

I’ve been saying the same thing for some time now, “we are sliding backwards”

[@kulangaut]

Thank you...

[@johnbrown7084]

Whites agree with reparations for every. One but blacks. But that just means that GOD is going to have. To deal with.

[@whitepanties2751]

'Slavery began in [what is now] the United States in the 1600s'. No, strictly it began in the 1500s in the Spanish colony of Florida, which predated the English settlement in Virginia and New England that are usually seen as the kernel of what was to become the USA.

[@whitepanties2751]

Except that even more strictly, slavery in North America began long before that, however many millennia ago the first Native American enslaved another Native American.

[@howardfox2816]

Who'd ya say is on first?

[@johnbrown7084]

Shes got to be very careful as not to offend white people with the thruth, about reperations.

[@johnculley5852]

Any reparations bill should be non-racist and include the descendants of soldiers, sailors and marines who supported the Union during the Civil War.

[@whitepanties2751]

The question I keep asking on this subject, including elsewhere on KZbin, but have never had a clear answer, unless someone would care to supply it now: Yes, slavery of blacks taken from Africa to the Americas was overall a very cruel thing, but history is full of crimes, oppressions, persecutions, massacres and invasions, from the Romans destroying Carthage in 146 BC to the Rwandan tribal genocide of the 1990s. If the fact that all those who were slaves or slave owners until 1865 are long dead does not stop reparations being payable now, logically, why not reparations for the descendants of those executed in the Salem witchcraft trials in the late 17th Century, or descendants of the French Protestants killed in the St Bartholomew's Day religious massacres of 1685, reparations for the Fourth Crusade sacking Constantinople in the 13th Century, or for the Israelites massacring the Canaanites of Jericho in the Old Testament? How would we decide which wrongs deserve reparations now and which do not? And if the present day Lakota Sioux are due reparations from the United States for taking their land by force in the 1870s, do the Sioux in fairness also have to pay reparations to the Pawnees and Crow from whom they took the same land by force some years before? (And so on, ad infinitum?) And if this lady is right that anything less than $100 Billion to American blacks for slavery would be insulting, there will be an awful lot of money to be made by lawyers and consultants advising on all the trillions of dollars in compensation claims that must arise from all the claims for compensation that must arise from history in this World of sin. Are you comfortable with such people advertising for historic claims as accident lawyers do, and claiming their 25% fees out of all the $trillions that may be involved? Unless someone can give an intellectually honest, logically coherent and practical answer to these questions, then whatever this reparations thing is about, then it is more about vanity and greed than about justice.

[@jameslevi3155]

Pondering on this knowledge is wildly enlightening. If u compare the success of the black community’s accomplishments they’ve never asked for repayment, only civil liberties. That takes a deep level of humility! Even as the racism continues they’ve had to morph a horrid reality into positivity. It’s only right to give the blacks reparations!!!

[@timsika7655]

Intellectually unassailable and emotionally inerrant .

[@DerrickHistory]

@John C you inability to moralize is a spiritual disease within yourself.

[@thanseer4128]

@John C You can't take your money to the grave

[@johnbrown7084]

THE GOD of isreal want be so careful, as not to offend white people, HE will judge them with out hesitatoun, and without mercy.

[@mandelharvey3429]

Racism isn't necessarily bigotry. Most to all Americans that are part of the entrenched racist system are active participants to racism without feeling any emotions of bigotry. The current governor of Virginia honestly seems to have a history of revering black people and even emulated them as personal heros. His public persona is certainly not that of a bigot. However doing black face is racist from a history of racism. In this scenario he's not a bad guy. However he's a typical racist. Donald Trump took out an ad to kill people he actively and aggressively hates. Mr Trump is a bad guy hate filled, a bigot. The good guy and the bad guy both perpetuated racism. If we can get the well intended good guys to recognize their own racism and unintended racist behavior and their acceptance of bigotry from hate filled bigots we'll be head and shoulders ahead of where we are now.

[@mandelharvey3429]

@John C most active racist feel absolved of evil because they don't act with malice. Racists oftentimes have malicious results of unknowingly perpetuating a racist system without intending to do harm. A hate filled bigots actions are intentional. Most racists aren't intentionally bigots.

[@mandelharvey3429]

@John C dude. Trump took out a full page ad in the New York times calling for the execution of the central park 5 before his presidency. He addressed a national police convention and instructed them to use brutality as President. That's pretty well circulated info. You can google central park 5. Trumps ad was a part of their story well before trump was a political figure. His address to the police is also in wide circulation and is very consistent with who he is. Its nice you can live oblivious to your President telling you he'd rather you were beaten and killed on a presumption of guilt based on appearance. Google central park 5. Become a little more informed and potentially tell me where I've misinterpreted his words and actions.

[@mandelharvey3429]

@John C www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-news-trump-death-penalty-central-park-five-20180713-story.html

[@mandelharvey3429]

@John C Trump is consistent. I give him that credit.

[@mandelharvey3429]

@John C impressive you cared. Also the double meaning about the president being accused of all manner of evil some of it falsely is appreciated. He's not dumb and he's not doing anything different from who he's been forever. I don't think he should be impeached on criminal grounds. He's exactly who America elected. Of course a guy who held a pageant in Russia has Russian business ties. They're listed in the credits of a 20 year old broadcast that's available on VHS. Any investigation was just for fun. His actions are no worse than anyone else whose been President. But that goes back to racism vs bigotry. When we see people as people then and only then will America have it's stated values. Native, imported, and foreign.
