Charlemagne has had victimhood mentality ingrained in his brain so hard it’s hard for him to switch out of that mode. Because he feels safe being a victim.
That's what makes the irony of naming himself after God even more more hilarious! It's charlamagne the doofus at best. That Chris Rock skit about books are like kryptonite to blacks rings out truer than ever for the doofus victim charlamagne.
He let Viveck say all that just to dismiss him Charlemagnes job is to steer black voters to the Democrat party he isn't there to hear the other side he's there to make the other side look stupid so blacks don't vote in that direction once you know this everything about him makes sense he has a agenda.
That’s cause Charlemagne actually is ignorant, he is so stupid, if you gave him a crossword puzzle, he would just color the white boxes in & think he completed the task,
I hope yall read this because it's important to point out that America was barely 10 years old when the conversation about abolition began. Not even 100 hundred years in, we fought a brutal civil war to end the practice of slavery. We were barely an established country on the world stage and we were already acting on the principles of our founding. So the argument that America is founded on racism is just so noncontextual as to warrant its complete disregard. Great work! Yall earned that follow.
America is founded on racism ??? Maybe. But,boy did it really screw over it's black citizens-BLACK-WALLSTREET. An entire black town burned to the ground,300 black citizens murdered by white citizens,the US government doesn't do anything ??? The Bloody Summer of 1918,several other black towns get the same treatment as Blackwallstreet and the government does nothing again ??? 300 recorded incidents in US history and the same results.Oh and I forgot Blackwallstreet was bombed from the air by our own military.I could go on and on,but,you get the picture-I HOPE. Lots of evil and brutal things were done to black citizens after slavery,yet we tell them to forget about all this.Stop being victums-RIGHT ??? Let's pretend racism doesn't exist in america any more,yet it does,doesn't it ??? You can't fix a problem if you don't admit it exists.
I agree with you, except slavery wasn’t the end of racism in this country. We still had some things that systematically hurt people because of their skin color. Although I’m not an advocate for CRT, I’m not going to ignore everything else because a majority of people knew the practices of that day were wrong.
@jamaalmillen respectfully, I think you are missing the EXACT point Vivek and these young men are trying to make. NO SANE PERSON is claiming that racism is just poof gone! Mainly because that is IMPOSSIBLE! It will never ever happen because of what Vivek pointed out-- humans are deeply flawed creatures. There is no way we are going to get every human on earth to stop being racist. Not remotely a reasonable goal or thought. HOWEVER, America has been a country that has UNIQUELY addressed the issues of slavery, racism, sexism, and inequality in general! You absolutely cannot name another country that has openly struggled and fought with these issues and made such INCREDIBLE strides through law, education, media, culture, etc. to dismantle racism. Why do we never give ourselves credit for that?? It was the REST of the world that followed our example of pursuing equal treatment of all citizens. In fact, to this very day there are STILL millions of slaves in Africa and other regions. So, what frustrates me is this-- racism/inequality has got SHYT to do with being white or being American. Loooooooong before we came into existence the ancient societies were practicing slavery, racism, sexism, classism, etc. Because HUMANS have a problem with power, control, money, and "Us vs them" mentality. And yet, along comes this brand new country that DEFINES at its heart the concept of pursuing equality. That is baked in from the start. And it is that VERY brilliant and Godly principle that allowed for this fledgling nation to be the FIRST to formally and legally abolish slavery--a practice that has been normalized and accepted as an economic structure since the dawn of civilization. So while other nations had been committing the ATROCIOUS of slavery for thousands and thousands of years, America is able to recognize its evil in almost a blink of an eye. Not only that, we fight a DEADLY and tragic war to ensure it is ended. Why is that not recognized for how truly magnificent and miraculous it is?? Instead, we are screamed at every way we turn that we are a RACIST EVIL COUNTRY! And then, we can talk about all the decades that followed, from Jim Crow to Civil Rights movement, and we can map that CONTINUAL fight for MORE equality, better treatment, less racism,etc. We CONTINUED the good fight and CONTINUED to improve! And yet we are so often told that we are still a trash racist society??!! You mean to tell me there is no difference between how blacks were treated in 1910 vs 2024?? REALLY? YOU SURE?? It is just so damn disappointing to see the level of self-hatred we have produced in America. The way the left has REALLY used Race as a tool to agitate and aggravate the black community in order to keep them under Democrat control-- it's sickening. Truly sickening. And now we have arrived at a place and time in society where we are no longer working together like we used to and now it is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE to say the most foul, violent, hateful things against white people. That still baffles me. And the liberals have brainwashed people into believing that "it isn't racist if you say it about white people" and they actually encourage it. We have witnessed a meteoric rise in hate crimes against white people, totally unprovoked, because of this type of mindrot. So many black people today TRULY BELIEVE that all the white folks are like secretly in cahoots and we are linked together and we are all rich and happy and have no problems and we sit around thinking up ways to destroy black people. It's madness. It is evil propaganda at it's finest and most dangerous. I think back 15, 20 years ago when your average and reasonable citizen would absolutely acknowledge that racism still exists and we can always do better, BUT they would also acknowledge just how far we have come and that in a majority sense America is not racist anymore. People were TRULY healing and coming together in America. And then the rise of wokeism decided it was going to completely and utterly burn all of that progress down. And it has GOT to make you stop and think....why? Why would they WANT to stop black and white folks from being really at peace and united? I know the answer, do you? Anyhow, yeah of course we can sit and talk about the after effects of slavery and how that has impacted generational wealth and so on and so forth. No one (except truly Racist and crazy people) is denying that, in fact those are the kinds of convos we were having in the 90s and early 2000s. But it has changed. And it's not about that anymore. And I believe if you look deeply and with a sharp awareness and be brutally honest with yourself- you would agree. It's no longer about "working together to continue improving". The new mantra is "whyte people are evil. They have always been evil. They are born evil. And black people are superior and we need to take over". Now, someone tell me how that is helpful AND how this is ANY different than what the old timey plantation owner racists were doing? Sadly, this aligns with a POWERFUL quote from MLK (I believe, need to check) when he said that one day when Black people are treated equal or get some semblance of power that they wouldn't turn around and seek vengeance and retribution. And that's 💯 what is goin on right now. Of course I don't mean literally every black person, but there definitely is a majority loud voice especially those in media, entertainment, and social media as well as ALL of the whyte liberals. However, I have been very encouraged to see so many black folks move over to the conservative side! It is happening far more than the liberal/dems realize lol and it does give me hope. It has just gone way too far and I'm hearing more and more and more black folks say "naw, hold up, this isn't right!"
100% agree with Vavek!!! He was not dismissing slavery at all. He was viewing history from a fair and humble perspective. There were many people who were against slavery during that time, that’s the only way it was abolished!!! The majority of people knew it was wrong!!!!!
But just like how it is now, if you spoke up against it, you were socially and financially outcast. Even attacked and actively targeted. There's a few major slave owners that had private diaries and journals where they expressed their abhorrence with the whole system and bought up slaves to potentially give them better than what they had and took as much care of them as they socially could while pretending to tow the line. Dark days then, and it seems we are still in the throes of those dark times.
i find it odd that some people STILL worship slavers......how can you speak about "liberty,equality and justice" when you personally keep over 600 people ENSLAVED, and FORCED to create wealth for you.....denying them their liberty, equality and justice? it's like a christian priest/pastor speaking out against diddling the kids.......while he himself diddles them.....
Pretty much everyone has someone else to blame for their woes. The right does it just as much - blaming Affirmative Action, blaming welfare, blaming immigration, blaming LGBT, blaming anyone but themselves for their failings. No one wants to look in the mirror and take responsibility for the decisions they have made. It’s not a uniquely American issue, either. Muslims in the Middle East blame Jews and Americans. Russians blame Europe. Hitler blamed the Jews. Indians blame England and Pakistan. It’s been going on like this forever. In America, if you’re Black, it’s slavery.
he has a good speaking voice and is eloquent. but his points are just grandstanding and virtue signaling about nothing. just listen again to the quincy guy story......it's a huge nothing burger. he would do well reading scripts written by someone else....maybe someone who has some sense.
@@sabin97 The lesson behind the J Quincy Adams story is to highlight the character people of today should embody. Constantly pursuing a better future DESPITE the current and past flaws of people.
@@kursor52 there was NOTHING about the character of the quincy guy that's worth emulating. the average human today is orders of magnitude better(in character) than him.
Sure he does but attacking some folks and not all folks. He has attacked woke but won’t even attack racism. He won’t come out against big pharma he is scared to even say that he doesn’t believe Jesus is God. He side steps that questions entirely.
@@beastmode1980434The only two things he's dancing around are his vying for VP and mouth breathers such as those who listen to what they're told to think about Trump instead of thinking for themselves.
49.6 million people live in modern slavery - in forced labour and forced marriage Roughly a quarter of all victims of modern slavery are children 22 million people are in forced marriages. Two out of five of these people were children Of the 27.6 million people trapped in forced labour, 17.3 million are in forced labour exploitation in the private economy, 6.3 million are in commercial sexual exploitation, and nearly 4 million are in forced labour imposed by state authorities
gentlemen, Keep it up. You said, "I hope our channel can help other's see the light, through knowledge", It's GOOD to hear you say that. I'm >50 yr old white dude, black wife, mixed kids, lived around the world ...... so much wisdom and knowledge to share, however, it's important for YOUR generation to learn and teach YOUR generation to learn for yourselves. Regarding Charlamagne, you said it, and I'm glad you did, dude makin' millions, has a radio show and says what he wants, and he's still crying racism .... hmmmmm .... sumtin' doesn't past the "truth" test for me right there :)
1520,if racism doesn't exist in america,why is there a hate crime law for asians ??? Why do white people call the cops on black citizens ??? I'll tell you why,they hope the cops will either shoot or harm them,that's pretty evil to me.Innocent people going about their lives. And why do wht people try to control the movements of black citizens,by preventing them from entering their own apt complex ?? They want black folks to show them proof that they stay there,that's what the slave patrols did during slavery and what some whts did LONG after slavery. I didn't hear Vivek say anything about these current situations happening today in america. Did he ???
what are you talking about? You saying everything is perfect now? Did you have to give your kids the talk about "Police" because white kids don't need to be briefed on how not to die by police.
Charlemagne is dismissive himself, yet at the same moment he accuses Vivek of doing that, which he's doing. Classical liberal/democrat projecting onto others...
but vivek WAS dismissing jefferson keeping over 600 people ENSLAVED, and FORCED to create wealth for him as just "an imperfection". imagine you go to a restaurant and ask for a medium-rare steak....and what they bring you is a completely charred steak....would you dismiss it as just "slightly overcooked"? or would you call it out for what it is?
@sabin97 he literally said the whole point of the founding fathers drafting the constitution was to pursue a more perfect union.... Jefferson having slaves = bad , but the progress he helped create ended up eventually leading to the freeing of slaves. Which means Jefferson also = good. So what's your point? He already said they weren't perfect humans. And I'm willing to bet that Jefferson did more for black people in his time than you ever will in yours.
@@ima2yearold "Jefferson having slaves = bad" it's not just "bad". it's monstrous. german levels of monstrous. "the progress he helped create ended up eventually leading to the freeing of slaves" no. he didnt. he was completely irrelevant in the freeing of the slaves. by your definition of good the german leader of ww2 would be good. because his initiatives led to great progress in transportation, medicine, chemistry, cinematography, worker compensation, and public health. but you wont see me, or anyone else, trying to defend him. because he did monstrous things, like jefferson. "So what's your point?" my point is that you are worshiping someone who kept over 600 people ENSLAVED....FORCED to create wealth for him. he denied them their pursue of freedom, equality and justice. he worked AGAINST what you call "a more perfect union". "hey weren't perfect humans" nobody is criticizing jeffersons for not being perfect, so that's a moot point. "Jefferson did more for black people in his time than you ever will in yours" actually i've never had any slaves, so i've done orders of magnitude more good to blacks than jefferson did in his entire entitled slaver life.
@@sabin97your going to take a complex issue like arguing about the morality of the past, and compare it to the simple task of cooking a steak? Now hows being dismissive
He is not discussing with debaters. Debaters follow a code of conduct which Vivek is trying to adhere as much as possible. It is not possible to impart the point to ignorants who don't know or adhere to it.
I’ve rarely ever seen him talk over people for the sake of interrupting them. I’ve seen plenty of him trying to finish the point he was making while talking over someone interrupting him
You guys have come so far on this channel. You're level of understanding is higher than 75% of the country. I will continue to watch you and the channel grow. Thank you!
We need to move forward and know we are not perfect. "Yeah but slaves", yes your right lets not forget the history but lets move forward, "yeah but slaves", YES not perfect and lets move forward, "YEAH BUT SLAVES". That's basically the conversation and its never anything constructive.
the problem is that they don't teach history in this country and Vivek should stay out of the conversation, it's not what he said that showed his ignorance but what he didn't say. the History of this country is soiled in blood which is why they don't teach it. Did you know that the so called Black people are actually indeginious to these lands? probably not because they went through great trouble to keep you from knowing it. the Indians you see today are colonized indians the real indians were what you call colored you see they called them that when they stole their identity. Holly wood made images showing you a different reality and it's in your subconsious right now. The Atlantic slave trade was different because it wasn't all about slavery. these people lost their Language/History/Culture and Customs, they pledge alligance to the flag of their oppressor as well as bow down to his image, they have no political representation or equal protection under the Law and when they say anything they are treated like spoiled children but when morons like Vivek runs his mouth he seems patriotic huh. you say we need to move forward well i agree and i think everyone agrees, the queston is how.
@@theangrypenguin3014💯 correct! While all other nations and cultures had been doing it for THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of years, we came through and ended it in a blink of an eye and have continued to pursue better treatment and equality ever since!! That just shows how FCKING amazing America is and yet libs and woke POC act like we are the devil and somehow its the other countries that have done it right??!! So damn crazy.
@@theangrypenguin3014 of course they look at how we abolished slavery but when you have a History of children being used as alligaitor bait or watching you son cry out to you as he's being casterated you have other things to think about, i know it didn't happen to them but it's in their lineage and that can't be ignored. What annoys me is that everything that's done to these people to this very day we just play Deaf, Dumb and Blind and while we play, iventually we will pay its only a matter of time.
Yuuuuup! And we enslaved entire tribes, if we didn't just slaughter them. And we did this for thousands of years while America did it for about 100 years and then legally ended it and sacrificed countless lives in a WAR to guarantee that freedom. So crazy how we are all brainwashed to believe America is racist.
Yes, they traded your ancestors for trivial items. For those mentally and physically strong enough to survive the middle passage had a life time of long hours of tiresome manual labor ahead of them. Your ancestors survived and now you have them behind you 100%.
Bet you didn't know some Africans broke their own elbows inorder to escape capture for slavery. In as much, some chiefs, not all, were forced at point of war with the continuation of slavery. Other leaders were straight up captured & punished with slavery for refusing to continue the trade. Easy to blame Africans but you have to see the whole big picture and not just salt, mirrors, buckets etc.
@@soothinglycool9806 I'm African and I know all that, including those who lost their lives jumping off the slave ships. Point here is some African tribal leaders and chiefs openly engaged in slave trade for their own gain.
@@PabloM254 thank you for saying 'some'. Not all were on board with slavery. Some chiefs were replaced, kidnapped into slavery for refusing to participate whilst others were encouraged & supplied with guns to wage war on other tribes not open to slavery. Let's not kid ourselves....the whiteman and not the chiefs wielded real power.
Watched a couple of your videos now. You guys give me hope for the gereration coming up!!! As a white guy at 42, where I went to school in NY. I had good black friends, good Latino friends, and good white friends. The majority of us didn't see race. It didn't matter! I grew up that way. I could see and feel this country had gotten to a point that we're all people under one flag. And that people were to be judged on character alone! Than Obama came along, and the left decided it was beneficial to divide us on race, gender, religion, and anything else they can use. It has been hard to stand by and watch when I know my myself as a white person could care less about someone's color. You guys are AMAZING and should be commended for what your doing!!! Let's all come together of all races and religions under one great flag, and fight for our country as ONE! BTW, I have just subscribed to your channel and I never subscribe anywhere. I just have such a great respect and believe in your cause!!
If you don’t care about color why did you mention all throughout your post? 😂😂. Also why are you blaming Obama for dividing the country? What did he do or say that made this divisive happen? Everyone blames Obama for this racial divide I just want to know how. Then you blame the left let the right isn’t just as bad. One country one flag sure Donald Trump accused Obama of not being born here.
@atr4454 No its agreed upon & well known the northerners picking up guns to fight were #1 fighting over abolishing slavery. It was decades and decades of abolitionists fighting over this , we had the underground railroad in my hometown. White ppl died to free the slaves & you can read thier writings it just happened. So we have tge journals & the personal writings of the ppl involved & obv many reasons also existed but tge main common thread was the abolitionist movement boiling over
@atr4454 I'm aware ... my point was more how nobody even brings up that tiny little fact. Black ppl didn't win their freedom , white ppl won blacks their freedom. But it's Framed so differently.
it is a fact an i think this is one of the problems with black america today. That black slaves did not free themselves but needed whites to do it. Thats a bit of a psychological blow. And it shouldn't be slave revolts have never been successful, just ask Spartacus. We(as in Americans did it together)
Found you guys a couple days ago and have been binge watching all of your videos. I really do not want you guys to underestimate the positive impact you are having on not just your community but everyone’s community. It is so refreshing to see such young, intelligent, and cool guys talk about politics and showing truth to our country. I’m thrilled to see where you all take it from here and happy to say I’ll be along for the entire ride!
Y'all are truth to word! Appreciate y'all 💯💯💯 it gets frustrating sometimes because so many people hear disinformation and are told their information is correct while it's really fake news. Y'all cutting thru the BS and delivering light! Bless up my Bros 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁
Vivek knows his shit and his confidence and intelligence is off the charts. Don’t call him out unless you are dead azz sure you know what the hell you are talking about.
I haven’t seen yall pop up in my feed in awhile. Glad to see you guys doing a service and having a good time while doing it. Keep spreading the word and being proud Americans.
I was rocking out with you Solomon not realizing what the song was either and when you asked about it Brandon said “Are you for real” 🤣🤣🤣🤣and then in typical Cartier Family fashion we all learned something. You guys unintentionally bring humor to situations that need to be talked about. The fact that you are all so different and yet so the same is an in the face reminder people! Come on! We got this! ❤❤❤❤
Hell yeah, first “like” and first comment!!! Hope you guys are doing well…love the videos…keep walking more people up. So glad I recommended the PragerU video back in the day and you watched it. Much love.
I just want to say, as a white dude from Maine. You four gentlemen are my American brothers. I would fight for and with you, on an intelectual or physical front. Keep up the good work. Let’s educate everyone who wants this country to fall back into our past sins, for personal gain…
You guys are so inspiring. I been watching y’all for a good while now, since the beginning really, and y’all have come so far and watching y’all grow into intelligent, genuine, inspiring young men makes me really proud, and idk why bc I’m not y’all’s mothers lol but for whatever reason it makes me happy to watch y’all do well and use your own brains to think for yourselves, it’s really refreshing.
I just listened to a study on Jefferson Davis this morning. Interesting life. Don’t agree with him of course but I learned a lot I did not know. Like his life was saved by one of his slaves. I am 70 and still learning. Proud of you young men keeping open minds and constantly be learning. Oh! Any man that calls himself a god is a joke. Eh Lenard?
This is amazing. Keep reaching for the knowledge, and the truth. You guys are refreshing to watch. You show that you really are open to new ideas and want this country to do and be better.
Wtf... lmao is that really how u see it.. u think colonial pre abolishion America who enslaved people in the first place then "saved" those same people from slavery.. lmao that is.. i have no words 😂
@@complextheory Yeah man if your great great grandfather put my family in a prison and I died in prison but you released my kids against the wishes of those around you I would say thank you for saving my children from the tyranny of your great great grandfather. It's not that hard to understand cuz time is a thing and you can't ignore it. Or well you can but you'll look ignorant to those who consider it.
Watched the Sound Of Freedom movie and saw this at the end There are more humans trapped in slavery today than any other time in history-including when slavery was legal.
God sums this up in Hosea 4:6, declaring, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
The best thing for us ALL as a country is when 'African Americans' become Americans. People like Charlamagne won't ever do that because they don't want to lose their leverage or exclusivity. I'm glad these new Americans have woken up and taken ownership in their country. It's been there waiting for them to take ownership for quite a while. Eventually the people who have been held in virtual slavery by the Left will realize their bonds and shackles were self imposed with every African American converted over to American. Welcome all pre-hyphenated Americans. Join the country and lets move ahead.
to be fair all modern day americans are african-americans(and also european, because our blood is mostly from those 3 groups combined in each one). usakistanis and canadians are not american.
@@drcdrdoct9864 no. we are. all modern day americans are african-americans. do you not know anything about american history? that's not a rhetorical question.
He didn’t say to ignore it he said learn history learn the stories and understand the flaws of the time that you’re looking out so you can have a better view of what it took to get us where we are to today. It’s important to notice that people worked hard to change things.
It’s strategic that only one nationalities slavery is so closely remembered. i as a heavily mixed nationality person with middle eastern as well. I know that the Slave trade was started by sub-Saharan African kings and the ottoman (middle eastern) empire; they enslaved African-Americans and then went to the Scottish isles and took everyone there as slaves as well. Scottish people are white conveniently we forget that. Let it sink in. Who does it empower to have a whole community so upset about their history; some unable to move forward from that anger? We are one people. And slavery is in every single one of our nationalities history, all of us. It should not define anyones existence.
Disagree with one of you that Charlemagne is trying to see the other side. He is always quick to counter a conservative’s view and never does that to a liberal politician. Breakfast club is only there to antagonize and gas light and straw man any point a conservative pundit versus any liberal. Watch the shows again
White woman here.( Crazy that I even feel like I need to say that) ., You guy's are awesome . I hope y'all realize the impact you and your channel have on all types of people. Keep it up! ! Thru you and others we can turn this incredible country around from the disaster of Biden. Much love for y'all. 🙏🙏❤️
I just found your channel. Love your content amd being open and effective with your delivery of your reasons. Conversation and communication is key everywhere ! Wow didn't know anything about that on John Q Adams or Abraham Lincoln. So sad that some of us are now learning this. Even sader is how bad todays teachings in school are not true to what history actually is ! Keep up the great work 🎉
CartierFamily - I think you all are very important, and do an excellent job. This is one of the first political reactions I have watched of yours. Free thinkers.
Charlemagne needs to travel more, talk to immigrants more and read more, but also, I'm 60, and I've learned so much as I've gotten older. My friend who moved here from Kenya, Africa, in the 1980s, she told me a few decades ago that when she goes back to visit Africa, Kenyans are confused as to why black Americans complain about slavery because they (most Africans) are jealous or envious of anyone who ended up in America and today would sell an eye or a lung for the opportunity to immigrate and recieve the paid passage to do so. They all wish their ancestors had come to America as slaves because unless you were super wealthy back then life was brutally hard compared to today. She then told me that many Irish came to America as slaves and eventually gained their freedoms when they got older and they don't complain about the slavery. I was so embarrassed. I had no idea that we had Irish slaves in America. Yes, in some cases it was different than African slaves because they volunteered to come here and be held in slavery but many did not volunteer, they found themselves in prison and were forced here and forced into slavery. I had not learned any of this in school. Fast forward to 2023, and I'm going through my DNA ancestors through ancestry.com, and I find the first of 3 of my relatives that were indentured from Ireland. One of my distant cousins even has the slave contract my many times back great grandfather signed. They had nothing in Ireland and came to America and agreed to slavery in hopes that their children would be given an opportunity to make a better life for themselves in the future. My friend from Africa, my two college professor friends from Jamaica and my husband from Colombia. South America, if you ask any of them if they would would like to go back to the countries they came from and live they all say no. They say they love their countries but have been spoiled by America.
My issue is that people just bring up slavery and then act like there wasn't a whole other part after slavery that black people had to deal and fight with for years after till 1900's even 2000's. Jim crow,segregation, lynching us, burning our houses,businesses, properties (we had a black wall street in New york until they burned that down) or Tulsa town they burned) unfair policing and jailing, targeting our gangs that were built off of fighting cops/corruption happening to us, war on drugs or putting guns in neighborhoods, killing/targeting our leaders, unfair rates when getting loans. Slavery just didn't end things for black people and it was happily ever after like some people in these comments are saying. "Oh man slavery ended pretty quick though from when the country was founded" ok and what about all the years after it. Incorporated us with some people who don't even look at us like human beings or equals and we got the aftermath of slavery that alot of these ppl just want to skim over
Tbh The US is one of the very few countries that corrected its mistakes very fast. Some countries it took thousands of years to understand slavery was bad
Literally every race has been enslaved. People are over hearing about it. Also if you are a minority try traveling abroad and tell me about American racism then people don't know what they are talking about about.
I love the opened mindness. I believe we are moving forward even if it's a crawl. Set backs happen but we correct and move forward. Keep it up guys. America has a bright future with leaders like you. Keep running that race.
Forgive me but I don’t know what parts of the constitution and bill of rights is based on race. What special considerations do black peoples need? Slavery is a regrettable history. Thank God it’s no more in our country. I nonetheless agree with Vivek. If black people want to ignore historical facts by destroying statues and trying to make slave owners irrelevant aren’t they in a way minimizing their ancestors’ contributions and sacrifices made to lay the foundation for the country that we work so hard to improve today? Thanks for the insight. Peace.
The only people who want to keep those statues in the first place are lost causers. Would you tolerate a statue of someone who enslaved your family in your home city for everyone to see?
I've actually never had the experience of seeing Charlemagne actually at a loss of words! I've seen this interview a few times now and I get immense pleasure and satisfaction from watching it!
Using Charlamagne's argumentation, to be consistent, we should stop celebrating MLK and dismiss everything that he said simply because he was an adulterer and a person who condoned gang rape of women.
As someone who is a historian, we definitely talk about all of this in history class - if you don't remember hearing it, you weren't paying attention. Folks saying "we don't talk about this" - especially someone who is a Republican like Vivek, the very party trying to pull funding out of education - is WILD to me.
I did the math recently and it turns out that slavery was outlawed fairly quickly from the founding of the United States. The federal government was founded in 1789 and slavery was federally abolished in 1865. Obviously, there was slavery in colonies prior, but there was no federal authority to abolish it until the federal government was established.
Not sure how I’ve never heard or seen this podcast. Glad I stumbled across this channel today. It’s always great seeing a group of young men like myself who can make their own opinions and assumptions without having others make them for us. Hats off to you guys as young black men to not be afraid to say the thoughts that go against the grain that has been predetermined by the mainstream media.
More than a handful bro. In 1830, there were 3,775 black (including mixed-race) slaveholders in the South who owned a total of 12,760 slaves, which was a small percentage of a total of over two million slaves then held in the South. 80% of the black slaveholders were located in Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
My ancestor to America was an indentured servant age 10. Snatched off the streets in London and thrown on a ship for service in America. He escaped during the Revolutionary War and joined the military as a drummer boy. We are white. Also, don't forget that the Irish were also sold on the auction block here in America.
Yep but many schools don’t teach about the European slave trade in the americas. Or the 1500s slave trade. I was actually just reading “The Barbarous” today, it was about this exact topic you mentioned.This is how a lot of Americans have European surnames.
Charlemagne has had victimhood mentality ingrained in his brain so hard it’s hard for him to switch out of that mode. Because he feels safe being a victim.
He has to keep the hate alive to make a buck....
Sadly but you're right and the majority of Black Americans have the same mentality. Victimhood is like a cloak, without it, they have no identity.
😂
That's what makes the irony of naming himself after God even more more hilarious! It's charlamagne the doofus at best. That Chris Rock skit about books are like kryptonite to blacks rings out truer than ever for the doofus victim charlamagne.

@@skylanh4319 that's fair enough, but in this particular instance her is correct.
Talking with a Trump supporter is like talking to a 6 year old.You state facts and instead of addressing those facts they change the subject.
Trump is the only thing makes sense I don't understand how you don't see that.
That's a crazy story about John Quincy Adams. And the words went in one ear and out the other for Charlamagne.
He let Viveck say all that just to dismiss him Charlemagnes job is to steer black voters to the Democrat party he isn't there to hear the other side he's there to make the other side look stupid so blacks don't vote in that direction once you know this everything about him makes sense he has a agenda.
yes, very sad !
That’s cause Charlemagne actually is ignorant, he is so stupid, if you gave him a crossword puzzle, he would just color the white boxes in & think he completed the task,

I hope yall read this because it's important to point out that America was barely 10 years old when the conversation about abolition began. Not even 100 hundred years in, we fought a brutal civil war to end the practice of slavery. We were barely an established country on the world stage and we were already acting on the principles of our founding. So the argument that America is founded on racism is just so noncontextual as to warrant its complete disregard.
Great work! Yall earned that follow.
America is founded on racism ??? Maybe. But,boy did it really screw over it's black citizens-BLACK-WALLSTREET. An entire black town burned to the ground,300 black citizens murdered by white citizens,the US government doesn't do anything ??? The Bloody Summer of 1918,several other black towns get the same treatment as Blackwallstreet and the government does nothing again ??? 300 recorded incidents in US history and the same results.Oh and I forgot Blackwallstreet was bombed from the air by our own military.I could go on and on,but,you get the picture-I HOPE. Lots of evil and brutal things were done to black citizens after slavery,yet we tell them to forget about all this.Stop being victums-RIGHT ??? Let's pretend racism doesn't exist in america any more,yet it does,doesn't it ??? You can't fix a problem if you don't admit it exists.
So stealing native American lands and genociding the natives isn't racist 🤔
I agree with you, except slavery wasn’t the end of racism in this country. We still had some things that systematically hurt people because of their skin color. Although I’m not an advocate for CRT, I’m not going to ignore everything else because a majority of people knew the practices of that day were wrong.
it doesn't matter what people knew what matters is what happened and what's happening.
@jamaalmillen respectfully, I think you are missing the EXACT point Vivek and these young men are trying to make. NO SANE PERSON is claiming that racism is just poof gone! Mainly because that is IMPOSSIBLE! It will never ever happen because of what Vivek pointed out-- humans are deeply flawed creatures. There is no way we are going to get every human on earth to stop being racist. Not remotely a reasonable goal or thought. HOWEVER, America has been a country that has UNIQUELY addressed the issues of slavery, racism, sexism, and inequality in general! You absolutely cannot name another country that has openly struggled and fought with these issues and made such INCREDIBLE strides through law, education, media, culture, etc. to dismantle racism. Why do we never give ourselves credit for that?? It was the REST of the world that followed our example of pursuing equal treatment of all citizens. In fact, to this very day there are STILL millions of slaves in Africa and other regions. So, what frustrates me is this-- racism/inequality has got SHYT to do with being white or being American. Loooooooong before we came into existence the ancient societies were practicing slavery, racism, sexism, classism, etc. Because HUMANS have a problem with power, control, money, and "Us vs them" mentality. And yet, along comes this brand new country that DEFINES at its heart the concept of pursuing equality. That is baked in from the start. And it is that VERY brilliant and Godly principle that allowed for this fledgling nation to be the FIRST to formally and legally abolish slavery--a practice that has been normalized and accepted as an economic structure since the dawn of civilization. So while other nations had been committing the ATROCIOUS of slavery for thousands and thousands of years, America is able to recognize its evil in almost a blink of an eye. Not only that, we fight a DEADLY and tragic war to ensure it is ended. Why is that not recognized for how truly magnificent and miraculous it is?? Instead, we are screamed at every way we turn that we are a RACIST EVIL COUNTRY! And then, we can talk about all the decades that followed, from Jim Crow to Civil Rights movement, and we can map that CONTINUAL fight for MORE equality, better treatment, less racism,etc. We CONTINUED the good fight and CONTINUED to improve! And yet we are so often told that we are still a trash racist society??!! You mean to tell me there is no difference between how blacks were treated in 1910 vs 2024?? REALLY? YOU SURE?? It is just so damn disappointing to see the level of self-hatred we have produced in America. The way the left has REALLY used Race as a tool to agitate and aggravate the black community in order to keep them under Democrat control-- it's sickening. Truly sickening. And now we have arrived at a place and time in society where we are no longer working together like we used to and now it is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE to say the most foul, violent, hateful things against white people. That still baffles me. And the liberals have brainwashed people into believing that "it isn't racist if you say it about white people" and they actually encourage it. We have witnessed a meteoric rise in hate crimes against white people, totally unprovoked, because of this type of mindrot. So many black people today TRULY BELIEVE that all the white folks are like secretly in cahoots and we are linked together and we are all rich and happy and have no problems and we sit around thinking up ways to destroy black people. It's madness. It is evil propaganda at it's finest and most dangerous. I think back 15, 20 years ago when your average and reasonable citizen would absolutely acknowledge that racism still exists and we can always do better, BUT they would also acknowledge just how far we have come and that in a majority sense America is not racist anymore. People were TRULY healing and coming together in America. And then the rise of wokeism decided it was going to completely and utterly burn all of that progress down. And it has GOT to make you stop and think....why? Why would they WANT to stop black and white folks from being really at peace and united? I know the answer, do you?
Anyhow, yeah of course we can sit and talk about the after effects of slavery and how that has impacted generational wealth and so on and so forth. No one (except truly Racist and crazy people) is denying that, in fact those are the kinds of convos we were having in the 90s and early 2000s. But it has changed. And it's not about that anymore. And I believe if you look deeply and with a sharp awareness and be brutally honest with yourself- you would agree. It's no longer about "working together to continue improving". The new mantra is "whyte people are evil. They have always been evil. They are born evil. And black people are superior and we need to take over". Now, someone tell me how that is helpful AND how this is ANY different than what the old timey plantation owner racists were doing? Sadly, this aligns with a POWERFUL quote from MLK (I believe, need to check) when he said that one day when Black people are treated equal or get some semblance of power that they wouldn't turn around and seek vengeance and retribution. And that's 💯 what is goin on right now. Of course I don't mean literally every black person, but there definitely is a majority loud voice especially those in media, entertainment, and social media as well as ALL of the whyte liberals.
However, I have been very encouraged to see so many black folks move over to the conservative side! It is happening far more than the liberal/dems realize lol and it does give me hope. It has just gone way too far and I'm hearing more and more and more black folks say "naw, hold up, this isn't right!"
100% agree with Vavek!!! He was not dismissing slavery at all. He was viewing history from a fair and humble perspective. There were many people who were against slavery during that time, that’s the only way it was abolished!!! The majority of people knew it was wrong!!!!!
But just like how it is now, if you spoke up against it, you were socially and financially outcast. Even attacked and actively targeted. There's a few major slave owners that had private diaries and journals where they expressed their abhorrence with the whole system and bought up slaves to potentially give them better than what they had and took as much care of them as they socially could while pretending to tow the line. Dark days then, and it seems we are still in the throes of those dark times.
White people didn't invent it, but we sure as hell have been trying to end it. If only the truth was still a valid argument..
He isn't though
Slavery was legal globally during Colonialism.
Everyone already knew about the abolitionist, so what changed? and you are wrong about Vvek being right.
The slavery argument will NEVER be given up. It's the world's largest crutch to certain people.
sure bud......
i find it odd that some people STILL worship slavers......how can you speak about "liberty,equality and justice" when you personally keep over 600 people ENSLAVED, and FORCED to create wealth for you.....denying them their liberty, equality and justice?
it's like a christian priest/pastor speaking out against diddling the kids.......while he himself diddles them.....
Pretty much everyone has someone else to blame for their woes. The right does it just as much - blaming Affirmative Action, blaming welfare, blaming immigration, blaming LGBT, blaming anyone but themselves for their failings. No one wants to look in the mirror and take responsibility for the decisions they have made. It’s not a uniquely American issue, either. Muslims in the Middle East blame Jews and Americans. Russians blame Europe. Hitler blamed the Jews. Indians blame England and Pakistan. It’s been going on like this forever. In America, if you’re Black, it’s slavery.

Chattel slavery is different.
49.6 million people live in modern slavery - in forced labour and forced marriage
Roughly a quarter of all victims of modern slavery are children
22 million people are in forced marriages. Two out of five of these people were children
Of the 27.6 million people trapped in forced labour, 17.3 million are in forced labour exploitation in the private economy, 6.3 million are in commercial sexual exploitation, and nearly 4 million are in forced labour imposed by state authorities
we oll slaved by social media

1520,if racism doesn't exist in america,why is there a hate crime law for asians ??? Why do white people call the cops on black citizens ??? I'll tell you why,they hope the cops will either shoot or harm them,that's pretty evil to me.Innocent people going about their lives. And why do wht people try to control the movements of black citizens,by preventing them from entering their own apt complex ?? They want black folks to show them proof that they stay there,that's what the slave patrols did during slavery and what some whts did LONG after slavery. I didn't hear Vivek say anything about these current situations happening today in america. Did he ???
@laurymc1977 huh? you mean the dudes on this channel got mad at your for callin' 'em kids? well, that's stupid :). just sayin'
what are you talking about? You saying everything is perfect now? Did you have to give your kids the talk about "Police" because white kids don't need to be briefed on how not to die by police.
Vivek is so good at communicating what needs to be said.
Charlemagne is dismissive himself, yet at the same moment he accuses Vivek of doing that, which he's doing.
Classical liberal/democrat projecting onto others...
but vivek WAS dismissing jefferson keeping over 600 people ENSLAVED, and FORCED to create wealth for him as just "an imperfection".
imagine you go to a restaurant and ask for a medium-rare steak....and what they bring you is a completely charred steak....would you dismiss it as just "slightly overcooked"?
or would you call it out for what it is?
@sabin97 he literally said the whole point of the founding fathers drafting the constitution was to pursue a more perfect union.... Jefferson having slaves = bad , but the progress he helped create ended up eventually leading to the freeing of slaves. Which means Jefferson also = good.
So what's your point? He already said they weren't perfect humans. And I'm willing to bet that Jefferson did more for black people in his time than you ever will in yours.
@@ima2yearold
"Jefferson having slaves = bad"
it's not just "bad". it's monstrous. german levels of monstrous.
"the progress he helped create ended up eventually leading to the freeing of slaves"
no. he didnt. he was completely irrelevant in the freeing of the slaves.
by your definition of good the german leader of ww2 would be good.
because his initiatives led to great progress in transportation, medicine, chemistry, cinematography, worker compensation, and public health. but you wont see me, or anyone else, trying to defend him. because he did monstrous things, like jefferson.
"So what's your point?"
my point is that you are worshiping someone who kept over 600 people ENSLAVED....FORCED to create wealth for him. he denied them their pursue of freedom, equality and justice. he worked AGAINST what you call "a more perfect union".
"hey weren't perfect humans"
nobody is criticizing jeffersons for not being perfect, so that's a moot point.
"Jefferson did more for black people in his time than you ever will in yours"
actually i've never had any slaves, so i've done orders of magnitude more good to blacks than jefferson did in his entire entitled slaver life.
Yes, he doesn't have awareness. And is constantly pointing fingers.

He is not discussing with debaters. Debaters follow a code of conduct which Vivek is trying to adhere as much as possible. It is not possible to impart the point to ignorants who don't know or adhere to it.

We need to move forward and know we are not perfect. "Yeah but slaves", yes your right lets not forget the history but lets move forward, "yeah but slaves", YES not perfect and lets move forward, "YEAH BUT SLAVES". That's basically the conversation and its never anything constructive.
They never look at how we abolished slavery far faster than any other nation in the world we are the youngest nation after Israel
@@theangrypenguin3014South Sudan, Bahrain, and Qatar (I think) were all created after Israel
the problem is that they don't teach history in this country and Vivek should stay out of the conversation, it's not what he said that showed his ignorance but what he didn't say. the History of this country is soiled in blood which is why they don't teach it. Did you know that the so called Black people are actually indeginious to these lands? probably not because they went through great trouble to keep you from knowing it. the Indians you see today are colonized indians the real indians were what you call colored you see they called them that when they stole their identity. Holly wood made images showing you a different reality and it's in your subconsious right now. The Atlantic slave trade was different because it wasn't all about slavery. these people lost their Language/History/Culture and Customs, they pledge alligance to the flag of their oppressor as well as bow down to his image, they have no political representation or equal protection under the Law and when they say anything they are treated like spoiled children but when morons like Vivek runs his mouth he seems patriotic huh.
you say we need to move forward well i agree and i think everyone agrees, the queston is how.
@@theangrypenguin3014💯 correct! While all other nations and cultures had been doing it for THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of years, we came through and ended it in a blink of an eye and have continued to pursue better treatment and equality ever since!! That just shows how FCKING amazing America is and yet libs and woke POC act like we are the devil and somehow its the other countries that have done it right??!! So damn crazy.
@@theangrypenguin3014 of course they look at how we abolished slavery but when you have a History of children being used as alligaitor bait or watching you son cry out to you as he's being casterated you have other things to think about, i know it didn't happen to them but it's in their lineage and that can't be ignored. What annoys me is that everything that's done to these people to this very day we just play Deaf, Dumb and Blind and while we play, iventually we will pay its only a matter of time.
When it comes to slavery, even African kings and chiefs played a big part. Chiefs and kings traded us for salt and mirrors.
Yuuuuup! And we enslaved entire tribes, if we didn't just slaughter them. And we did this for thousands of years while America did it for about 100 years and then legally ended it and sacrificed countless lives in a WAR to guarantee that freedom. So crazy how we are all brainwashed to believe America is racist.
Yes, they traded your ancestors for trivial items. For those mentally and physically strong enough to survive the middle passage had a life time of long hours of tiresome manual labor ahead of them.
Your ancestors survived and now you have them behind you 100%.
Bet you didn't know some Africans broke their own elbows inorder to escape capture for slavery. In as much, some chiefs, not all, were forced at point of war with the continuation of slavery. Other leaders were straight up captured & punished with slavery for refusing to continue the trade. Easy to blame Africans but you have to see the whole big picture and not just salt, mirrors, buckets etc.
@@soothinglycool9806 I'm African and I know all that, including those who lost their lives jumping off the slave ships. Point here is some African tribal leaders and chiefs openly engaged in slave trade for their own gain.
@@PabloM254 thank you for saying 'some'. Not all were on board with slavery.

I had good black friends, good Latino friends, and good white friends. The majority of us didn't see race. It didn't matter! I grew up that way. I could see and feel this country had gotten to a point that we're all people under one flag. And that people were to be judged on character alone! Than Obama came along, and the left decided it was beneficial to divide us on race, gender, religion, and anything else they can use. It has been hard to stand by and watch when I know my myself as a white person could care less about someone's color. You guys are AMAZING and should be commended for what your doing!!! Let's all come together of all races and religions under one great flag, and fight for our country as ONE! BTW, I have just subscribed to your channel and I never subscribe anywhere. I just have such a great respect and believe in your cause!!
These guys are phenomenal! I have been following their journey for a long time and it has been a pleasure to watch them grow and learn!
If you don’t care about color why did you mention all throughout your post? 😂😂. Also why are you blaming Obama for dividing the country? What did he do or say that made this divisive happen? Everyone blames Obama for this racial divide I just want to know how. Then you blame the left let the right isn’t just as bad. One country one flag sure Donald Trump accused Obama of not being born here.

@Harlem1mentality By UA-cam?? Try and word it a little differently so it goes through?
380k white men in the north marched south and died freeing the slaves... they all died to accomplish that
@atr4454Found the lost causer!
@atr4454 No its agreed upon & well known the northerners picking up guns to fight were #1 fighting over abolishing slavery. It was decades and decades of abolitionists fighting over this , we had the underground railroad in my hometown. White ppl died to free the slaves & you can read thier writings it just happened. So we have tge journals & the personal writings of the ppl involved & obv many reasons also existed but tge main common thread was the abolitionist movement boiling over
@atr4454 I'm aware ... my point was more how nobody even brings up that tiny little fact. Black ppl didn't win their freedom , white ppl won blacks their freedom. But it's Framed so differently.
it is a fact an i think this is one of the problems with black america today. That black slaves did not free themselves but needed whites to do it. Thats a bit of a psychological blow. And it shouldn't be slave revolts have never been successful, just ask Spartacus. We(as in Americans did it together)
U don’t know history if u think northerners cared about actually freeing slaves over forcing the south back into the union

This has become one of my new favorite channels appreciate y'all! Thank you for common sense and keeping it real 💯
Watched the Sound Of Freedom movie and saw this at the end
There are more humans trapped in slavery today than any other time in history-including when slavery was legal.
This inspired me!!! Yes. Not perfect but be better!! Yes. He needs to be VP.
God sums this up in Hosea 4:6, declaring, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
Very enjoyable men!!! Love the history lesson from Vikek!!! Love to you all, great work and analysis. Keep it up!!
Vivek would be an excellent teacher
Awesome to see a group of young men having a understanding conversation
This was a great interview :) Great video
When Vivek talks about history it sounds like poetry.
The best thing for us ALL as a country is when 'African Americans' become Americans. People like Charlamagne won't ever do that because they don't want to lose their leverage or exclusivity. I'm glad these new Americans have woken up and taken ownership in their country. It's been there waiting for them to take ownership for quite a while. Eventually the people who have been held in virtual slavery by the Left will realize their bonds and shackles were self imposed with every African American converted over to American. Welcome all pre-hyphenated Americans. Join the country and lets move ahead.
to be fair all modern day americans are african-americans(and also european, because our blood is mostly from those 3 groups combined in each one).
usakistanis and canadians are not american.
@@sabin97 WERE. Not are.
@@drcdrdoct9864
no. we are.
all modern day americans are african-americans.
do you not know anything about american history?
that's not a rhetorical question.
@@sabin97 I don't believe in hyphenated Americans. Whatever bullshit you're trying to say isn't worth any more time.
@@sabin97I’m lost are you going off of Africa being the birth land of humanity ? Because that’s false
I absolutely love you guys…. I love how you are willing to hear, learn and share valuable knowledge to others
Keep it up
He didn’t say to ignore it he said learn history learn the stories and understand the flaws of the time that you’re looking out so you can have a better view of what it took to get us where we are to today. It’s important to notice that people worked hard to change things.
It’s strategic that only one nationalities slavery is so closely remembered.
i as a heavily mixed nationality person with middle eastern as well.
I know that the Slave trade was started by sub-Saharan African kings and the ottoman (middle eastern) empire; they enslaved African-Americans and then went to the Scottish isles and took everyone there as slaves as well.
Scottish people are white conveniently we forget that. Let it sink in.
Who does it empower to have a whole community so upset about their history; some unable to move forward from that anger?
We are one people. And slavery is in every single one of our nationalities history, all of us.
It should not define anyones existence.
Vivek shared some history most of us weren't taught or don't remember being taught. ❤ 7:27 and pursuing a perfect union. 8:24
Disagree with one of you that Charlemagne is trying to see the other side. He is always quick to counter a conservative’s view and never does that to a liberal politician. Breakfast club is only there to antagonize and gas light and straw man any point a conservative pundit versus any liberal. Watch the shows again
This interview with Vivek is legendary. He is the great communicator!
White woman here.( Crazy that I even feel like I need to say that) ., You guy's are awesome . I hope y'all realize the impact you and your channel have on all types of people. Keep it up! ! Thru you and others we can turn this incredible country around from the disaster of Biden. Much love for y'all. 🙏🙏❤️
I just found your channel. Love your content amd being open and effective with your delivery of your reasons. Conversation and communication is key everywhere !
Wow didn't know anything about that on John Q Adams or Abraham Lincoln. So sad that some of us are now learning this. Even sader is how bad todays teachings in school are not true to what history actually is !
Keep up the great work 🎉
Charlamane the CLOWN 😅!!!
CartierFamily - I think you all are very important, and do an excellent job. This is one of the first political reactions I have watched of yours.
Free thinkers.
Trump/Vivek 24!
And now the gag rule is you may not call another person liar in office
Charlemagne needs to travel more, talk to immigrants more and read more, but also, I'm 60, and I've learned so much as I've gotten older. My friend who moved here from Kenya, Africa, in the 1980s, she told me a few decades ago that when she goes back to visit Africa, Kenyans are confused as to why black Americans complain about slavery because they (most Africans) are jealous or envious of anyone who ended up in America and today would sell an eye or a lung for the opportunity to immigrate and recieve the paid passage to do so. They all wish their ancestors had come to America as slaves because unless you were super wealthy back then life was brutally hard compared to today. She then told me that many Irish came to America as slaves and eventually gained their freedoms when they got older and they don't complain about the slavery. I was so embarrassed. I had no idea that we had Irish slaves in America. Yes, in some cases it was different than African slaves because they volunteered to come here and be held in slavery but many did not volunteer, they found themselves in prison and were forced here and forced into slavery. I had not learned any of this in school. Fast forward to 2023, and I'm going through my DNA ancestors through ancestry.com, and I find the first of 3 of my relatives that were indentured from Ireland. One of my distant cousins even has the slave contract my many times back great grandfather signed. They had nothing in Ireland and came to America and agreed to slavery in hopes that their children would be given an opportunity to make a better life for themselves in the future.
My friend from Africa, my two college professor friends from Jamaica and my husband from Colombia. South America, if you ask any of them if they would would like to go back to the countries they came from and live they all say no. They say they love their countries but have been spoiled by America.
My issue is that people just bring up slavery and then act like there wasn't a whole other part after slavery that black people had to deal and fight with for years after till 1900's even 2000's. Jim crow,segregation, lynching us, burning our houses,businesses, properties (we had a black wall street in New york until they burned that down) or Tulsa town they burned) unfair policing and jailing, targeting our gangs that were built off of fighting cops/corruption happening to us, war on drugs or putting guns in neighborhoods, killing/targeting our leaders, unfair rates when getting loans. Slavery just didn't end things for black people and it was happily ever after like some people in these comments are saying. "Oh man slavery ended pretty quick though from when the country was founded" ok and what about all the years after it. Incorporated us with some people who don't even look at us like human beings or equals and we got the aftermath of slavery that alot of these ppl just want to skim over
Vivek can make America great again! He will one day become our president!
Bro I'm from Sa why am I so invested in America politics 😩
Nothing wrong about that, You're curious What happens in United States affects the whole world
Thanks my four brothers another great video❤
You all should do a video about Anthony Johnson, the frist "legal" slave owner in the U.S. who was African American.
I love what yall said, you wont find the right information until you seek the right information. That was BASED!
Can’t We All Just Get Along ?
Rodney King 🎉🎉🎉🎉
liberals: suddup you oppressed
Thank you for this history lesson! Vivek I had no idea of some of these things.
Tbh The US is one of the very few countries that corrected its mistakes very fast. Some countries it took thousands of years to understand slavery was bad
Yeah like Africa
At the same time we were never taught about American slavery in the 1500s. Or European slavery in colonial times
Vivek, Col Mcgregor, Major Scott Ritter --- lots of great VP material
Literally every race has been enslaved. People are over hearing about it. Also if you are a minority try traveling abroad and tell me about American racism then people don't know what they are talking about about.
I love the opened mindness. I believe we are moving forward even if it's a crawl. Set backs happen but we correct and move forward. Keep it up guys. America has a bright future with leaders like you. Keep running that race.
Forgive me but I don’t know what parts of the constitution and bill of rights is based on race. What special considerations do black peoples need? Slavery is a regrettable history. Thank God it’s no more in our country. I nonetheless agree with Vivek. If black people want to ignore historical facts by destroying statues and trying to make slave owners irrelevant aren’t they in a way minimizing their ancestors’ contributions and sacrifices made to lay the foundation for the country that we work so hard to improve today? Thanks for the insight. Peace.
The only people who want to keep those statues in the first place are lost causers. Would you tolerate a statue of someone who enslaved your family in your home city for everyone to see?
I've actually never had the experience of seeing Charlemagne actually at a loss of words! I've seen this interview a few times now and I get immense pleasure and satisfaction from watching it!
Hello Guys...can yall please introduce yourselves. I know who Brandon is..but what are your names. ❤
Abraham literally said he didn’t want to free the slaves but he had no choice.
Using Charlamagne's argumentation, to be consistent, we should stop celebrating MLK and dismiss everything that he said simply because he was an adulterer and a person who condoned gang rape of women.
In Africa, they still practice slavery today.
I watch you young men and couldn’t be more excited about our chances as a country. I hope your parents are proud 👊🏼 This is the way.
As someone who is a historian, we definitely talk about all of this in history class - if you don't remember hearing it, you weren't paying attention. Folks saying "we don't talk about this" - especially someone who is a Republican like Vivek, the very party trying to pull funding out of education - is WILD to me.
I did the math recently and it turns out that slavery was outlawed fairly quickly from the founding of the United States. The federal government was founded in 1789 and slavery was federally abolished in 1865.
Obviously, there was slavery in colonies prior, but there was no federal authority to abolish it until the federal government was established.
If only it truly ended with just slavery after that
I hope your channel keeps growing. Such a informed and fresh perspective. Thanks, gentlemen!
Not sure how I’ve never heard or seen this podcast. Glad I stumbled across this channel today. It’s always great seeing a group of young men like myself who can make their own opinions and assumptions without having others make them for us. Hats off to you guys as young black men to not be afraid to say the thoughts that go against the grain that has been predetermined by the mainstream media.
i appreciate so much that you push finding the truth not an agenda. very real. i've enjoyed watching y'all. great content/convo's. thnx
I have been watching ya'll forever..Ya'll have grown so much and I love you guys..keep up the good work and STAY BASED!
More than a handful bro. In 1830, there were 3,775 black (including mixed-race) slaveholders in the South who owned a total of 12,760 slaves, which was a small percentage of a total of over two million slaves then held in the South. 80% of the black slaveholders were located in Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
Granted many were indentured servants. But true
I love you guys for your critical thinking and things outside the box. ❤
My ancestor to America was an indentured servant age 10. Snatched off the streets in London and thrown on a ship for service in America. He escaped during the Revolutionary War and joined the military as a drummer boy. We are white. Also, don't forget that the Irish were also sold on the auction block here in America.
Didn’t know that 😮
Yep but many schools don’t teach about the European slave trade in the americas. Or the 1500s slave trade. I was actually just reading “The Barbarous” today, it was about this exact topic you mentioned.This is how a lot of Americans have European surnames.
I appreciate this groups honesty and pursuit of truth. I would definitely like to sit in this room for a day and chat.
