The Young Black Conservatives of Trump’s America
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 січ 2019
- In October of 2018, hundreds of young conservatives of color met up in Washington, DC, for the first ever Young Black Leadership Summit: a four-day conference that featured speeches from conservative actress Stacey Dash and firebrand Candace Owens, a trip to the White House to hear Trump speak, and a rare chance for young, black Republicans to get together and network IRL.
VICE’s Lee Adams went to the summit to talk firsthand with young, black conservatives about what drew them to the Republican party, along with what kind of backlash they’ve faced from the black community for going public with their political views.
To find out more about the movement, he also tagged along with Antonia Okafor-an outspoken Second Amendment activist-on a hunting trip in northwestern Iowa with Steve King, a House Rep who’s been widely criticized for his racist comments.
Lastly, he met up with Shekinah Geist, a black Republican and budding social media influencer, and sat in on a conversation between her and a group of peers from the local black student union who challenged her on her support for President Trump.

I'm a 51 year old white male I live by Martin Luther King's quote.... you judge a man by his character not his color together we stand divided we fall
Yea stand for someone who stands for all and that's not trump
dont't judge a car or person by their colour.. do judge both by every fiber of their physical being tho
@@Meche-mz4fz
I'm a black republican for 4 decades and Trump is CLEARLY A racist !
If white men would have ended slavery in 1776, those white lives would have been slared.
@@ohbrother8530 how
Came here to see how Vice could twist this into being racist.
I am pleasantly surprised. Great Journalism, keep it up.
I think it's still not 100 % impartial but yeah they are going the sane way
some of their videos are pretty liberal but this ones good
Thx I was going though comments to see if it would be worth my time
This reporter seemed a bit biased yo me to be honest, but never vocally. I only saw it though his facial expressions
@Thanos Car this used to be 100% of their content quality. Then disney bought them they went on this whole weed kick and liberal media stretch but their stuff as of the last few months has been better again. Been subbed for years.
"If we really wanna make America great again, attacking someone for the way they vote is never going to be the way we get there."
Well said.
I feel bad for people who think democrats or Republicans are the actual people who rule America
Or you can steal elections and project what you are like a typical leftist.
Agreed! If any, this is as un-American as it can get. America was built on a people’s freedom to vote for leaders who would make laws for them.
@@christianjocson5509 democrats ☕️
American Exceptionalism = a myth.
My favorite scenes was when the Black conservatives and Black Liberals sit down and have a conversation. Both sides find out they agree on more than they think.
Yep I agree, it looks (to me at least) that both parties gained something from that. Near the end of the meeting they both agreed with ones other that attacking each other was counterproductive.
If your friend hates you for holding a certain belief, they were never your friend.
Well, some people confuse hating certain beliefs with hating the person who holds the belief.
I think this is one of our biggest problems as a nation. We hate people instead of ideologies or ideas.
Actually, even a lot of ideas we shouldn’t hate. We might disagree with them because we believe they harm people or our society. But we should reserve hatred to the most odious of ideas, like bigotry, racism, classism, etc.
There are a few friends I’ve had to step back from these past years as they’ve bought into false narratives and embraced hateful rhetoric. I wish I was stronger, but it sometimes it really shakes me to the core how dogmatic and drastic they are. I can’t seem to pull them out of lies that are easy to debunk. And the mere fact that I’m a Democrat has painted me with some filter that they just disdain. It’s hurts quite a lot.
It’s extremely hard when a group of Republican friends begin gripping about Democrats and how stupid and disrespectful we are. They’ll go on about some meme or post they read on Facebook and get so indignant and upset at “those Liberals.” And literally every time it occurs, they have been fed a bad story. It’s either half the story or simply incorrect info. The latest one was how the NYTimes disrespects President Trump because they call him “Mr. Trump.” And I just have to bite my tongue because it’s simple newspaper protocol. All periodicals do this, use “President” the first time, then only their last name after that. At least NYT adds “Mr.” And they’ve done it since the 1850’s. But do you think they listen? Nope. They just get angry with me and write me off. It doesn’t matter how respectful, gentle, deferential I am. Sometimes I just can’t help but cry at night over how these beloved people can be so mean - how they can no longer see me, see my heart.
Facts
Gtfoh
TheReal Mexican American unless you are a hillary supporter....then your friend has the right to hate you 😂
Depends what the beliefs are. If I found out my friend shares same ideas with isis then, it’s over. So it depends
*CNN has left the chat.*
Hahahahahaha
Omg ROFL. I laughed out loud too hard at this!
Too much real news
That's hilarious
CNN is true racist evil.
Attacking a person's character is the sign of a losing argument.
My personal thoughts aside, let me just say that I did not know it was possible to have reporting that was this balanced and unbiased! Amazing work Vice! Keep it up.
Every question was biased lol
not anymore...
@spiritualsoldier313
Yes it's completely normal to think everything's biased when the only thing you watch is Newsmax.
@@mikeantonin7580 It is also very common to be regard certain people as biased through stereotypes. :D
@@massetozacarias5693they already fell off😭 it took 4 years and now it’s all biased bought out
...wait a minute, VICE actually going out on the field and doing unbiased journalism and documentation? What timeline are we in?
@Percy Dondle yeah just how every other MSM News source is against him. But I guess you dont notice that do you?
I know right I almost didn't watch when I saw it was "vice"
You’re joking, right?
Lay off the fucking enter key
Asshole
Right? Lol
Anybody else watch this after Biden said black conservatives aren’t black?
Yup
Biden thinks he owns your vote.
@@jmmacalalag Biden does not know what postion he is running for half of the time, what this feeble man thinks is of little importance. Those who can think for themselves will
@Billy Bob but... systematic racism does exist? it has nothing to do with either liberal or conservatives. It's just something that happens.
@Billy Bob It's happened for years. hell a man is literally on death row right now for a crime he didn't even commit.
Everyone who gave a dislike can´t stand that there are also Black voting for Trump and are conservative.
But look at the ratio difference 163K more thumbs up
leftist liberals can't accept the fact that they don't own us anymore it isnt the 1800s and they cant use us as a polical tool to gain votes
@@PauI123 you sound so stupid! Conservatives have literally brainwashed you into hating yourself and helping him them destroy us! Kid in the 1800s democrats were the racist party! In the 1960s those racist democrats left the democratic party and became republicans! Common sense should tell you that the KKK aren’t liberals/democrats! We saw republicans waving Nazi flags and they literally put a ban on Muslims. Conservatives defended Derek Chauvin! They want you to stfu and stay in line while they do whatever they want to you
@@mustafamawla219 The democrats did not switch parties. I have never in my life seen a republican wave a nazi flag. The nazis were far left, with heavily regulated capitalism nearing socialism hence the name nationalist socialists also ,,, we're at war with afganistan. i have nothing against muslims but do you see how its a bit sketchy if a military aged male coming from a predominantly muslim country would be a bit dubious?
I am pro legal immugration (my parents are * legal * immigrants) but i think there should be restrictions based on criminal record and working status.
Republicans arent nazis. If anyone is brainwashed, its you. You're demonizi ng us, acting like republicans are "anti poc" and such when, minorities make up half of all businesses from 2010-2018 despite us (non-whites) only being 28% of the U.S population.
Who's policies do you think are better for small business owners? Republicans, who are for lower taxes and a set small minimum wage while controlling inflation
or the demoturds who are taxing us and increasing taxes for welfare and social security which only makes us MORE dependant on the government via social security and welfare.
The democrats also make public schooling funded by property tax which is terrible for black children who are born into poor families.
I hate talking about race but youre rhe one who brough it up.
Not to mention abortion, where the black abortion rate is higher than the birth rate which is only legal because of democratic policy.
in conclusion
Republican legislation has helped minority communities and those in the lower class be more financially dependant and has better cultural impact than democratic legislation which heavily regulates the economy and hurts poor minority business owners.
h
I don't see anything wrong with disliking those people
He did such a great job interviewing various people. I’d love to see more of his presence in Vice
Man what a great reporter!
1. From start 100% honest with own opinion.
2. Objective.
3. Calm and respectful.
Honest serious journalists are hard to find thease days.
Pony Sopranos, yes he is, but he looked in the camera many times... in disbelief!
Always a slight bias- unavoidable but i agree the video did a decent job.
Maybe they don't wanna end up like CNN & MSNBC. You see how Brian went to defend the staff layoff? Their new contract state they won't pay the journalist until 3 months later lmao
@@deanr7938 Yes a little bit with the checking in camera and filmed sometimes like an "What!?" angle. But since he was honest from the begining that wasent a problem for me. Contrary Id be happy with more honest reporters like that so you know what to look out for.
He was still trying to race bait her into certian questions but her replys we're brilliant
Vice didn't spin this so hard? Is Vice actually trying to be unbiased?
they still tried at the end lmao
Pretty awesome to see.
@@sheltonbeard4528 Im not at the end yet. I was totally waiting for it the whole time. shocker
Like always
They are probably so delusional that they believed this video would deter blacks from voting Republican. hahaha
This is exceptional journalism. I’m a English and Journalism Major. This is well done. It covers all the bases of real journalism. Well done on this piece VICE
This is one of the few good vice documentaries that I've seen after 2017.
I'm a Brown Conservative. Like she said, I am sometimes Trump. There is no chance to agree with someone on 100% of everything. That is not what "supporting" means.
bench175 exactly I’m sick of people not realising that the only person you should 100% agree with is yourself.
Liberals can't understand that. When it comes to politicians, they are more about the person than the policies.
Latino Conservative here. You're exactly right.
Exactly and where is it written we have to like our employee???
Right, supporting means agreeing with someone on the solutions you yourself think should be promoted, and also disagreeing when you think they shouldn't (and backing up your counter-argument with evidence.)
It actually requires a modicum of thought, instead of blind obedience, which is how most of the left felt towards hillary...
That awkward moment when VICE is less biased than CNN and MSNBC
On UA-cam. But for some reason on Facebook, they are very left leaning.
I didn't even know this video existed. I'm real surprised but it's refreshing to see
They were still biased as hell. Just did it in sneaky ways. Notice how they took the young conservative ladies to the liberal's place with predetermined plans to go to the game together? Its a tactic to have the person you want to be off their game as the visiting team
Set them in some uncomfortable chairs by themselves where its easy to overwhelm them . The whole game thing made it impossible for the ladies to say what they really felt or call the kid out on all the CNN talking point lies he threw out so confidently!! He pretty much didn't say one thing that was true! They both had to sit there and listen to it probably knowing he was full of shit because they were gonna have to spend the next 4hrs with them. It made me wish Candice Owens would see this and be at there next racist little meeting! Hit them with some real facts!!
nate carty if you lean towards the left or the right you're automatically at least to some degree going to be biased! Get over yourself! Do you think Fox news is not biased?????
NYC 42 did you...did you just assume my political affiliation? I’m offended. Honestly I’m not entirely sure what’s so biased...about calling it not biased. But ok.
I'm a proud black Conservative
I’ve been a conservative my whole life 2020 just made me embrace it to the fullest 💯
The fact that someone's political belief could be "Social suicide" due to their race is honestly disgusting.
edit: Woah mama that's a lot of likes
Social suicide doesn’t matter too much if you yourself do not care about popularity. Career suicide maybe.
Dubbz I i can relate to this as I am a Hispanic Conservative and pretty much live underground with my views as people assume that because I am Mexican I have to be a liberal. Sad that people like myself have to live in the political shadows because of my race and political views
Like just let people hold the beliefs they want to. If you stop being friends with someone based on their political beliefs then you're honestly just immature.
The best part is how many liberals virtue signaling on social media walk into a booth and vote republican
@@alexanderadams9008 Honestly. I'm so done with those kinds of people. What's even worse are those pushing socialism but still think they can register as Democrat. The core beliefs of our party have become a joke. Instead of leaning towards a balance between socialism and capitalism, they just want socialism.
These kids that think differently are ridiculed because of their skin color... I remember when that was called racism
no that'd be idiocy and it's never happened.. lol nobody judges cars on their colour only the brand and all components of it.. kinda like judging someone on every physical and mental component that makes them up as a person.. otherwise known as their race
@@MaSoNGaMeR115 You never think that a red car is faster?
Next Step Herbals LOVE EACH OTHER!!!!!
No they are rejected for loving the very person who has outwardly said he hates people of color.
@@BudandBloomWithBlossom Can you provide a source of him saying that?
Much respect for this intriguing piece of true journalism. A lot of people are craving this kind of unbiased content and there's a huge need for it. Thank you.
This video aged extremely well. Not being sarcastic.
I am a young, black conservative and I love this video. I have never been a slave or oppressed. I love my country and I refuse to internalize the racism of the left. Democrats want black people like me to identify with strife and struggle for votes. It is destructive and evil. I thank God for all the brave people who resist this evil.
@@sjoelle3335 both political parties can hate black people btw especially in Europe.
*_2.9K ppl still don’t comprehend that ppl are allowed to have an opinion that differs from your own..._*
sad thing is their the type to shout people down and silence them and call them nazis racist rapist etc.
The Angry Elephant Democrats. Judging people by their color rather than character. MLK didn’t die for this smh.
Well they are allowed to have their own opinion and dislike the video we will just be louder and be true in our facts
@@theangryelephant5391 pretty sure all sides have been racist before. At least it ain't the 1940's
People who condemn the past have no future
As a black woman I will not allow any other black person to impose their OWN standard/definition of what it means to be black on me. Their experience is not mine, nor is my experience theirs!! Period!!
Would you agree with j & h, or t & v, just curious?!
Preach girl!!!! Love it.
If you stand for nothing..you fall for anything. Most of these democrats don't even know what they are standing for.
Ouuu your a black woman congratulations, what have to do with choosing a government? Stupid is just stupid dont matter what colour you are.
You be you, sis. BIDEN 2020
This was actually a really good piece of journalism pretty free from bias
this is my third time coming back to this video.. i actually really appreciated the point shekinah made stating that true pro-blackness includes all perspectives/people and you can’t pick and choose. it MUST include uplifting and progressing the entire community, not just a section. this goes for all black people, we need to look more towards infrastructure, economics, education, healthcare all of these subsections will ensure the success of our community.
Ex-act-ly
Abe Lincoln was Republican. Slave owners were Democrats. Never forget and see threw the Control Tactics. Democrats want us relying on government forever.
If VICE keeps doing unbiased journalism and documentaries like this, they're gonna end up bigger than CNN or ABC ever were.
Robbie...or Fox News!
Robbie facts
Not hard to do! lol
But yes, agreed. I would love to see more videos like this, representing different and opposing viewpoints in a (seemingly) unbiased light.
I hope VICE and similar MSM left wing news outlets see how desired, appreciated and needed more videos like this are & they decide to follow suit
One problem Its Biased. Rep. Steve Kings Words were twisted by the media.
@@nyc4233 I can't speak about Fox in general since I don't watch it much. But Tucker is fairly balanced, regardless of his opinions. Seen some serious crap from other Fox hosts though, so quite possible that the rest of the channel is about as terrible as CNN & co.
They all serve the same overlords anyway, so I'm actually stumped that Tucker manages to retain any sense of objectivity.
Almost didn't click because VICE. Very surprised it's not a straight-up hit piece.
Same😂
Felt the same way. They lost my respect after the Jordan Peterson interview. This is a good way to get it back.
i clicked because i thought it was going to be a hilariously stupid hit piece
Same!
I thought so too
Bro waves🌊 went from left to right real quick during the interviews 😂🇺🇲💪🏾
Candace is a good role model for all especially those who have no role models in their household.
As a child that grew up parentless and in foster homes with little to no morals let me tell you she is much needed she's a gift in a time where very few speaks facts.
I came here because of her
Why is it such a taboo thing to NOT vote based on your race, but based on your beliefs?
It's identity politics along the lines of divide and conquer. If the people are split there is more opportunity to create a group for it. Further dividing us. Because all groups must have representation.
Republicans vote based on race
@Daisy Juice U sound like Margaret Sanger with your pro baby murder reasoning. She would be proud to see she has the very people she hated, fighting for her doctrine.
See it's the same principle because of which even today Indian people will defend their culture but not rectify the parts that need to be changed. It's stupidity but part of human nature. Hive mentality. The left thrives on that.
Because america IS racist, it's not difficult to understand. Only republicans or people who know nothing about politics say stuff like this. No different than someone telling Jews to not care about race in 40's Germany.
Vice actually engaging in real journalism? Somebody pinch me. Maybe they have seen what happened to buzzfeed and saw the writing on the wall.
If you are interested in more actual investigative journalism I would highly recommended checking out CBC news. There is one journalist in particular who is just amazing. She is unbiased and shines light on serious topics. Can't vouch for the integrity of every journalist though. So sorry if there are some pricks on there.
They cannot afford losing money after 2 years.
@@jaybob9317 exactly
Never forget who Vice really is.
dougsjk VICE on facebook is only good for hilarious, shit posting and sarcastic comments in the comment section.
Vice, I'm recently found you and you guys Rock. I absolutely love your message. As a 52 yr old white guy who has supported one race the human race my entire life. I am so tired of being called a racist. The worst part it's even by my black friends Ive known since I was a teen. So many are discrediting my views just because I am white. I know capitalism and leaning right is the most productive form of govt. To see black Americans leaning right makes me feel so good. I'm aware that 90% of blacks have voted Democrat for years because they've been told Dems stand for the oppressed. It's not true. Black Americans will have more opportunities by the Republican party. The image blacks have been told about right wing is not true. Yes there is still a race issue in America and I hate it, but we cannot continue to let blacks feel like victims. TO MOVE FORWARD, race and economic issues will be resolved easier on the right. God bless you all and I hope you can recruit more of your black family and friends to the right. I am inspired by your outspokenness
Woooow! Didn’t know my people were bullied this way and called traitors!! This made me a bit sad because people can have their own way of thinking and if they like this party then that’s what they like… ❤❤
parties don’t see color… I’ve met a black guy that came from generations of republicans. They never switched to the Democratic Party even after LBJ so some blacks were never democrat in the first place 😢
I'm a white guy...when I grew up I was an army brat - meaning my dad was in us army. As a kid I heard things about racism when I was off post or not in DOD (department of defence) schools, where I grew up everyone around me was white, black, brown, red, yellow, etc. And i never really noticed, they were just my friends or neighbor kids.
When i grew up i joined the us army, and you know one of the first things i was told in basic was that
"there is no longer any color but green, the us army is the largest gang in the world, and and those that are in uniform like you, those to your left and right, are your brothers and sisters, they are family"
I would like to say, I am an American.
My blood is red.
My spirit is stamped with Life & Liberty.
And I have many brothers and sisters.
God bless you and thank you for your service!
I'm bummed you've not had more replies. I love your testimony and the brilliant way you articulated your position. First thank you for your service to OUR nation. Second I too feel the same, I grew up in fortlauderdale Florida, you could not be a racist and enjoy your life there. My friends were black, Cuban & American Indian. The liberals are great divisionist without division and freebie talk they don't have squat! God bless, PATRIOT!
First, I want to thank you for everything you are doing for our Country! For me , I knew I was always different the kids would always bully me, and I never knew why? I never thought it was because of my color, because when I was growing up we were segregated
whites with whites blacks with blacks, when I was in the six grade we had our first three black kids in my school I saw a lot of kids pick on them too. I remember feeling really bad for them, because they were different just like me. I grew up in foster homes and the kids somehow knew it not that I had told them but I had three other sisters going to the same school, so it could have been one of them that told someone and you know how news travels.... I was different because I hand made clothes, and hand me downs. I really looked like poor white trash, and I was called that many times when I became friends with my black friends. The four of us were called all kinds of names and beat up through no fault of our own. I had no control over my life. I was told when to eat how to eat when to take a bath, when to brush my teeth what to wear and what not to wear when to talk when not to talk, and there was nothing wrong with because to me the foster parents taught me manners taught me how to respect my elders 10 through 13 yrs old. one out of 19 fosters homes.
I related to my friends more so than anyone else in that school. So thinking back in those days I know why I was bullied called names. one I was poor, and I was friends with my black friends just because we were different. That didn't make us bad people it just made us different than they. Today where were at is no different from then to now... We are more divided than ever before and its very sad that we just can't be left alone without getting black lashed for just wanting something different then what other ppl want.
Great point of view God bless AMERICANS
That's interesting. However my parents who served in the military for over 20 years did not have that same experience. My father, who by the way was an officer in the Army, remembers being called the N-word by his superior and then being told there was nothing he could do about it.
VICE being politically neutral will double their fan base within a short period of time. Good job Vice.
SUPER STUPID POOP it’s so obvious hopefully they will follow your advice
@@pauljoneseyboy9615 No, actually he's right. The question is what happens next, when they've got a wider fanbase will they restart running their cringy SjW pieces again, to try and change people's minds?
Yeah I had some trouble figuring out if Vice was leftist or right. So many media companies are left leaning so I can't really tell. I'm so glad this video covered both sides perspective semi-equally
"politically neutral" lol what a joke
doesnt matter if you are a fan or not. They want all the outraged republicans commenting and interacting with their videos. they know exactly what they are doing hahahah. look at the majority of the comments on their political vids
I could never stop being friends with someone because of political beliefs, there’s more to life than that
Another excellent programme, I’ve learnt a lot from the two programmes I have watched so far. It just goes to show that you are never to old to learn.
As a Conservative, I appreciate Vice's efforts to reach out and do a piece about a portion of my side that is honest and well intended.
Yes. I was suprised that, while it wasn't completely impartial, it was done with an open minded curiousness that allows someone to form their own opinions.
Vice is not in the business of making good, honest people look like good, honest people. They are clickbait. Vice is terrible
Re watch the video and pay attention to the narrative when he is talking about conservatives and when he is talking about Democrats. It's a low key bias
What I was also surprised with is the interviewer using the color of skin as a descriptor instead of the political party or gender or character. That is an underlying problem with Liberals. They judge every book by its cover.
Never had a bad experience, if someone is more qualified, they get the job, I see it as an opportunity to find a better way. Life is too short to blame others.
Props to Vice for actually showing what other media outlets won’t show.
JoshHop in what way?
@@mercedesmartin1269 the commentary and opinions of the interviewer on the narration, the looks to the camera. That's how.
They literally do all the time, hence why trump supporters are the most whiney on all their videos; this time they took a separate issue and highlighted it, ignoring 2 factors 1. these aren't conservatives, they are simply rich black folk and 2. they are an EXTREMELY small minority in the overall picture of an election.
Sad there's comments that actually dismiss this and say they're paid truthfully people are tired of democratic bullshit..Democrats are some of the most racist people I have had the displeasure to meet... and the leftist media just drives the wall between us.
@@packerpf more than likely these are people that are educated and dedicated their lives to making something out of themselves to call them simply rich black folks is ignorant. whether they're poor or Rich it doesn't matter the Democratic agenda plans racism in its media-driven ideals it's a way to separate us and keep us separated and a lot of people are tired of it.
2023. This video aged well. How is the Biden policies going for you?
Sad that your Cheeto-faced Führer lost the election and his loser Redhats wannabe Beer Hall Putsch failed? Trump for prison 2024!
I am Hispanic and I am Conservative. God bless my African American brothers and sisters.
Holy shit, this was ridiculously impartial coming from VICE. Unexpected, and good work.
Yes it was a really good piece, but unintentionally. You can see they wanted this to go another way, It's so obvious.. But yes it was glorious and even better that it had the exact opposite reaction they were probably going for.
MultiLiquidsilver agreed... there was this subtle haze of condescension throughout like this was making black conservatives look bad. Of course I could be taking it too personally
Still a left leaning bias but definitely better than most of their stuff.
A welcome change
As a filmmaker, I can still spot a bunch of bias in this editing. Like they pan to the "teleprompter" when Trump is talking because they want to portray him in a bad light (everyone reads off of teleprompters, but you never saw them do this to Obama). You also have to pay attention to the background music they play in certain parts. Bottom line is, Vice tried making this a hit piece, but they didn't get the narrative they wanted, mostly because these young black conservatives are way more intelligent than anyone working for Vice.
Hispanic conservative here, very happy to see these kinds of documentaries.
Me too.
Yeah
Yes! Me too!
Hey, run here comes ICE
Beryl Pegues only if you come here illegally and commit crimes! Fucking imbecile 😂
They should do a follow up of these people
That is a great idea. Seeing the recent events with trump and the Republicans, I wonder if their views have changed.
@@Rokaize Yeah it will be interesting to see
2:14 the "young black" turning red is such a nice touch
When I used to be a liberal, I never thought I would switch sides. To actually realize how toxic and manipulative the left is is eye opening
Same, friend. Grew up in Cali, & I was practically taught to hate Republicans...
Same here
Just like beauty, 'Liberalism is in the eye of the beholder' 🧐
RIGHT!!! Same thing happened to me. I'm a white young female in California, and literally was physically attacked (well a dude 3x's bigger than myself) physically knock my "MAGA" red hat off of my head, IN FRONT OF MY YOUNG CHILDREN AS WELL AS YELLED ALL SORTS OF ..... Absolutely horrible things to me AGAIN in front of my children. Hate crimes? Hate crimes are indeed up, however it's the Left side driving the absolutely ignorant immature cruel bull***.
Manasa Lingireddy, Not the person you’re asking for but I think I understand what you’re trying to ask. Most liberal ideas can be debunked. Some come down to pure opinion but most liberal ideas are only good in theory. Things like gun control and socialism sound great in theory however there are massive flaws. Legally owned save at least 200,000 lives a year, while taking 10,000 lives. There are around 50,000 gun related homicides per year and 80% of all gun related crimes involve illegally obtained firearms. There has been no truly successful socialist country and eventually, and eventually someone will seize power and abuse it. I also used to support BLM because I saw the news headlines like “unarmed black man shot by police”. I ended up reading that news article and watched the body camera footage and the guy ran over the cop. I also hated anything conservative and thought that attacking someone with “racist” ideas was justified. I hated trump because all my friends were doing it. All I knew about his policies back then were from my friends and Twitter calling him a “racist” or “fascist”. I thought that he wanted to ban all immigration and wanted to purge Muslims. After seeing the other side’s argument and actually reading the article, I started to wonder what else was a lie. A lot of people on the left are actually really good people, just very mislead. It takes years to change an strong opinion
Vice did so much better than CNN, thank you.
Yeah. Vice is pretty hit or miss but when they get it, they get it.
@The Truth Slave Masters really...
@The Truth tell that to the Covington kids
It’s ironic to see black people dehumanize other black people for having different options
Great piece, thank you for not demonizing black conservatives - this was a fair discussion.
Kinda surprised that VICE even ran this. Objective journalism still alive ? Is such a thing even possible ?
that firing must've gotten rid of the rot
they probably lacked views
It was far from objective, still very obviously slanted, but I think the culling of their staff definitely reflects
Objective? Did u see the journalists facial reactions towards the camera, a look of extreme confusion and a bit of disgust every time "the blacks" say they like Trump
The audio clipping and emotion swaying soundtrack prevent me from agreeing that it’s objective, but I will say that it is the most fair approach Vice has taken in at least 7 or 8 years.
I never thought VICE would ever give a honest report from non-leftist. I was wrong, good reporting.
Never forget Who Vice really is. They as re going under and are trying to get the conservative audience to save their business.
It's still biased, just more covertly. Notice the tie-in to white nationalism at the end...
Matthew Galter yeah and the look of disgust on the reporters face as he shakes his head at the camera in the white house. They couldnt spin it any other way than the truth which is Blacks are waking up and realizing that the Democrats are the enemy.
Let me show you 5 racist @20:30
The "reporter" did all he could to paint black conservatives as tokens and muppets, and repeatedly insinuated that white people were just using and manipulating these ignorant black folk to act against their own interests. However, the black people he spoke to were significantly smarter than him and so it didn't work. As I watched it I saw one racist (the reporter), and a lot of free thinkers.
Excellent as usual👍
It’s so encouraging to see young people (on both sides) active in this space❤️
this is what journalism should be.
Sad
rigor m that’s probably inevitable 🤷🏾♂️
Yup
Vice has always been pretty good, their best stuff is the non political.
@Anenome5 Gavin is a white supremacist piece of shit. Fuck him and fuck you for thinking his ideas deserve to be spread.

If you consider yourself either republican or Democrat without researching the policies and representatives of both you’re a slave .. no arguments

This was FUNNY!!!! " LOOK AT MY AFRICAN AMERICANS"
I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually a Fairly good video.
The emphasis on the color of skin is just crude. Conservativism isn't a color...it's a personal value-based belief!!!
Don't tell Dems that. They believe African-Americans need to be TOLD who to vote for. It's insulting, as if African-Americans aren't capable of deciding who to vote for.
@@JudeMalachi , WTF? Really? I mean really?
@@JudeMalachi I completely agree with you now if we can actually get others to see the truth.
To me this shows young people proud of their party and they are pushing back.
Where I grew up skin color was never a issue my best friend was black we have remained friends all these years I Thank my parents and those around me growing up. When I had children I taught them that out in the world people in the world were going to try and turn there beliefs on them Thank God I was raised to love each other no matter the skin color God is the one who made us all don’t we all bleed red ?
I get sick of them telling me i voted for Trump because of skin color, when they will quickly tell you they voted for obama because of skin color
"Esther was brought into Shushan -Persian Empire for such a time like this -to save the Jews -(Bible)" Cyrus of Persia was raised by God to deliver the Jews. Anything that happens in the world will already have happened in the spirit realm. America was on the verge of total collapse - morally and spiritually had the democrats won. Satan plotted a strong evil against America but God destroyed his plans. You voted wisely. I am black but I see things through the spiritual perspective.
@None None I voted for Trump because he was the best choice we were given and for no other reason. So far it has been proven I was right because he is doing a great job.
Remember when the African community balked at supporting Obama because they thought he wasn't really black? And BTW black Americans didn't elect Obama, white Americans did. And if all white people are really racist, then white people must have thought he wasn't really black either. Right?
Another "as a black man on the internet" story

That dudes wheelchair with the tracks was dope lol
It's okay to think of issues overall, including racism issues. But when people are brainwashed to vote democratic simply based on fear, that leads to Brandon.
So black people are brainwashed? We need freedom from republican, independent, and libertarian lecturing black people too. All the know it all condescending whites and the few blacks that mimic them should know black people are a blessed people with instinctive survival skills learned through slavery and it's horrible aftermath, withstanding hatred and 2nd class citizenry. We are still following that north star and communing with the better angels of america. Not listening to hypercritical brow beating know it all peabodies. Legions of black people have made tremendous progress into middle class mainstream society a narrative needed to balance out the litany of woe for black trumpeted by bigots and some of the media. And I have to constantly push back on this negative narrative from random white so-called conservatives. There is a very good reason most blacks don't do republican. Even more so todays as those old bigots from back in the day want to tell a whole population they don't know what's good for them.
Every color is AMERICAN AND Don't mess with the AMERICAN PEOPLE

*Less than half
Pssst, Conservative doesnt mean Republican.
As much as I dislike Vice, I will say that this was a very good video. Great Journalism.
Unbiased VICE video without a twist?!?!
I know I shouldn't like this, but *arghhhhh* fine take my like!
The more likes this video gets the more they're gonna make videos like it.
Right? first time i watched a vice video in 3 years and i gotta say im surprised as hell.
to be honest, I disliked this video 5mins in expecting it to turn on the "black" conservatives (otherwise known as, well, conservatives...). Ended up liking the video by the end. Definitely felt a slighttt bias but hey, a little bias is okay, as long as they're trying their best to represent both sides as objectively as possible! I felt there was a genuine effort here to do that.
Yeah VICE is trying to distance themselves from BuzzFeed lmao
There were a few moments where their bias still showed, but the mere fact that they made this video is a step in the right direction. No pun intended
Im not a conservative and i don’t like trump. But I respect the journalist so much for not making a biased video. Keep up the good work !!!
You could see the "reporters" face get upset when they cheered for trump
It's not biased because it fits your narrative.
@@burntferidgerator6848 While thats true, they did a good job of keeping it to themselves, which I think is a virtue
@@guyinthechat9533 what do you mean?

Well, I'm not that young, but I would classify myself as a conservative. I don't wanna get into the controversial stuff, but I like conserving my Grebo African tradition, language and culture!

@@adilkhan9708 why?
Unfortunately that's not what being politically conservative means, at least not to Americans. Take me for instance, I'm a strong believer in my own Gaelic traditions. My family heritage is extremely important to me and I collect significant cultural symbols not just from my current country but the countries my ancestors came from.
Yet I am a leftist. A socialist specifically. Its precisely because I value my history and my family that I want to see it preserved and developed further, so that it may survive long into the future. Institutions that refuse to adapt will always eventually crumble. No matter what you believe politically, you can and should preserve your family history. After all, if you don't carry on the legacy of your ancestors, who will?

watching this for the 3rd time and it still gives me chills- especially in 2022 where ALL Americans have been affected negatively by Democrat policies, yet again. i love seeing black Americans join the conservative movement and it’s sad that they still get denounced by their own people and white liberals for thinking differently than them.
What policies 😭

Black Americans have always been conservative. If anything they're the most Americanized people compared to the other minority groups.
My man switched up real quick, he went from saying black conservatives “are just house n words” to saying “there is nothing wrong with being conservatives”😭😭 when they were face to face

I support all of you black conservative republicans. Not because you are black. Not because you are conservative. And not because you are republican. But, because you are among the brightest, most well spoken, sensible, talented, and hopeful of the young generation. You have been tempered in the fire of opposition by those of your race and mine. You are what my generation called the red headed step child. Opposition has made you stronger. It has caused you to hone your opinions and strengthen your will and determination. I have but one request. Having been freed free others.

Great doc! Very informative!
Absolutely loved that when the interviewer attempted to pass (an unfounded) assertion as truth (The Republican party disenfranchises black people) that she called him it out, and asked how specifically does the Republican party disenfranchise black people... Spot on!! And he gave one week example of voter suppression and again she completely picked that apart, well done 👍👍
The republicans haven't done anything for black people. The republicans want black people to basically deny that racism exist.
@@QuestionMark...... Then why was the unemployment rate for blacks up under Obama, down under Trump and back up under Biden. Of course overall It's each individuals responsibility to take of themselves not the government.
It is true the Republican party has been disenfranchising black people the most. It a part of the Southern Strategy by Nixon.
"A house of cards always falls apart."

How shameful that race is an assumption of how a person should vote.
No matter how unfair that assumption may be, race is statistically actually a very good indicator of how someone votes. If you see a group of black people, statistically, they vote 90% for Democrats. If you see a group of latinos and latinas, statistically, they vote about 70% for Democrats. Whites are the *only* swing voters in America. White people in America is the only racial group that votes about 50/50 for each party.
Its expected that if somebody doesn't like you then you would stay away from them. At least that's what normal people do. That Stockholm's syndrome situation is a mental issue.
There are reasons blacks vote the way they do. To act as though people are assuming is very dishonest.
This only occurs in the Democratic party
Shouldn't matter at all
As a white conservative I welcome conservatives of all backgrounds!

Thank you, Vice for making this video and for giving Black Conservatives a fair shake.
It starts off seeming that way, but starts to show its Leftist bias about halfway through.

One day, maybe, it won't be black conservatives but merely conservatives.
I agree but I believe (most) blacks have a strong desire to hold on to their blackness instead of their humanness and that is the real problem. They segregate themselves by their attitude. To act, think or be moral like a white person is to be white to them.
Just because a white person acts and thinks or speaks a certain way isn't being white it's being civil. That to me is what they don't understand.
T Saint I agree
@@tstjohn777 As a black man, I agree with you. Just know that some might misconstrue some of what you said there. Of course what you mean is basically "Black people shouldn't reject everything whites do, especially when it's being civil" (I think) but someone who's trying to make you look bad would hear "Oh so white people are perfect huh?! You supremacist!" Maybe I shouldn't even mention it, but I guess I just wanted to share that before anyone comments something like that

As a black conservative (just in recent years) from Detroit. I have to say this this Vice piece may be the FIRST fair and balanced productions I’ve ever seen from a media source on this level
I was shocked that this wasnt a left leaning hit piece. I can really appreciate how Vice did this.
I think its going to take this kind of journalism to give ppl both sides perspective otherwise things will only get more polarized. The black conservatism is not going anywhere especially as the left grows more intolerant of varying ideas and they also get more extreme.
Thanks for this Vice.
So do you hate Bernie/Tulsi/Ocasio & support Trump's Neoconservative Goldman Sachs swamp cabinet?
I think you’re being a little biased. When they show something you don’t like it’s a “left leaning hitpiece” when they show something you agree with, you’re “shocked” that it’s so fair
Yes, I agree
No I'm a moderate and watch a lot of vice videos. Id agree with him that a lot of their vids are left leaning hit pieces. Also there have been vice interviews I've watched where they cut the hell out of it. Then the full video gets released later and its not at all what the person they interviewed was trying to say.

Why are Democrats able to politically express themselves while Conservatives can't without backlash? And which side prides themselves as inclusive?

Many democrats like myself like to express our support of minority groups and so we don’t appreciate backlash because the minorities take offense to it and feel more fearful. Democrats are inclusive because we accept change, we are okay with people controlling their bodies and doing what they need to do. Republicans are usually* conservative in their values and like old and simple ways. Reality is, America is changing and we can’t go back. We can only go forward.
Please keep telling both sides Vice. Please be unbiased. Please just report the news. This was refreshing.
The title sounded refreshing, but even this program was very biased - like the interviewer making faces, and talking to a group of anti-Trump teens...
Jojo Bee yeah its kind od funny how even though there was still a clear and heavy liberal bias just the fact that the right wing wasnt utterly dismissed we call it "fair" and "unbiased" just shows how low our expectations are.
@@jojobee42 they tried for the unbiased story but hiring a non soy unbiased conservative or even someone center is too much for Vice
what is crazy to me is that black liberals preach martin Luther king jr. who said dont judge me on anything but my personality.but go out of their way to judge someone on their politics and call them a traitor just because they dont fall into the typical box of being black and a liberal

The first time I watched Candace Owens televising from her room, I said, "This is a rising star." Didn't take long for that to be true

When it comes to people like Candace I like to sum it up like this................
People are like a book......
If the first 25 chapters are about leftist ideologies and rhetoric but the last 2 chapters are about being republican or conservative what kind of book would you call it?????????
STAND UP AGAINST IMPEACHMENT OF PREZ. LEARN SOME CARDINAL HISTORY ABOUT impeachment and "high crimes and misdemeanor". IMPEACHMENT law is about--for "high crimes and misdemeanors"--which must factor in whether the country's departments functions are being ruined and rendered "puppets" of a "totalitarian dictator". This grave aspect was upheld and considered in the Clinton's impeachment process! Rarely, in the history of Western civilization, has a president rendered his nation's departments of power "his puppets" as the dictators did in Eastern Europe and USSR. None was observed in the Clinton administration! And none in Johnson's impeachment! In fact, it was this phrase that was factored in in both cases: "Are those who want to destroy our institutions"--that is, there was no destruction of departments of power by Andrew Johnson or Bill Clinton, but instead, there were accusations about "others" in government who pursued such (unsuccessful) political calamity--not President Johnson! And, in Trump's case, the same is plenty visible by any fair eye, namely that "all departments of power are functioning almost like a Swiss clock, economy is booming, and people's confidence is steady from the inaugural day'! Thus, no "high crimes and misdemeanors" are observed by fair and just men in society!
We LOVE all Americans! Patriots have no colour! This is the HUMAN RACE!!!
ooohh but the dems don't want you to know this. That is why they are race baiting to the determent of America the great! They will destroy their own country, and at the end of the day, once elected, STILL, will do NOTHING for black Americans.
