Trump is dead wrong in this situation and instead of being a "stand-up *man* and admit he *F'd up,* he continues to show his arrogance, his ignorance, and his _"I'm white and I say so privilege."_
Let me just pause to comment on..."those who have been closest to the pain should have a seat at the table." Yes!! I recently watched Yusef on Alex Wagner, what an inspirational light 👏🏽 🙏🏽
Don't only give money, but we must vote blue to rid our country of the stench of Donald trump and seaping through most Republicans sitting in those seats

Respect for a better man than I am. He is so positive and trying to change things for the better. I was jailed for marijuana, and I became the monster after my time in jail. 30 years later, I am reclusive, don't talk to anyone have one friend and live with doors locked and storm shutters closed over every window. I would not lift a finger to help my community because I still blame every citizen for the laws I broke. I know its crazy, but this never wore off for me, and I don't think it ever will. I wish I lived where he is running for office so I could vote for him. And I want to congratulate him on overcoming far worse than what broke me.
Thank you for your comment addressing the inequities and it’s impact on your life and likely, the lives of many, many others. May you find peace and ease. 💞
I can't dispute a word you say here, because I have not walked in your shoes. But your words ring true, and good on ya for what you have said here. But at least you have probably the best account name on UA-cam, for whatever that is worth.
I hear you my brother. I got out & worked my butt off trying to join society but am still being persecuted by my own son 43 yrs later. Has zero idea what I went through etc. Now, I am more reclusive & have no problem not speaking to people for days! Mike put it right, about just being able to do whatever. Not one of my family Ever asked what I did or experienced!😢
How beautifully articulate this man is. I think voices like his are starting to rise above the verbal crud that has drowned out the sound of true liberty, justice, and understanding. WOW!!!
He used his time in jail to get to where he is now. Believed in God and trusted Him to get through his tough time. He is proof that one can become stronger and better.
What a magnificent orator this man is. Just brilliant gifts of articulation. His sense of purpose just radiates from him. I wish him ongoing success, and an ongoing opportunity to use his gifts.
This man is amazingly strong. It is a TRAVESTY ans a SIN that anyone innocent is sent to jail in America. If I loved there, I'd vote for you Mr. Salaam!
Very good interview. Most MAGA Republicans and military conservatives belong in jail or mental institutions. It is shocking to see so many people support them. We need more people like him in power.
Tony Nunez : The team that the swine with initials DJT was assembling around himself while in power exactly paralleled the hand picked gang of misfits , mediocrity , and criminals Hitler surrounded himself with . In his last days in the White House , Donny didn't do ANYTHING normally fitting a real President . All he did was play golf and watch tv , and Donny's agenda , his command to his minions and friends in Congress was , in those last days when he knew that he had lost the election " make me dictator ". This they tried . But unlike Germany in the 1930s , this is America . And the people here are WAY too smart and tuned in to let that happen here !
We feel the same about DEMs who voted for a man who is in obvious mental decline just because they were 'convinced' Trump is bad. We were safe under Trump. Now under Biden-either because he is compromised and aggressive countries are aware of this - or because he has cognitive issues, we are at risk of war, the World at risk of WWIII. DEMs ignore this fact though.
@@RedLgb-df9ob It's called tolling, statute paused while Trump was out of NY. Also, statutes aren't the same for every law. Are Trump's lawyers really so bad they can't argue in court the charges are beyond the statute of limitations? I thought he only hired the best people...
This gentleman is such a beautiful soul! So well spoken! God, I hope he wins his race! This world needs more good people just like Yusef Salaam! It's so heartbreaking what he and the others with him went through, but he sure has come out on top! I love it!
Salute Mr Yusef Salaam. A man who has come out stronger after the most grueling experience of his life. 30 years simply taken away by a most unjust system. Hope that more white Americans listen to this mature and intelligent man. For the country is deeply flawed and polarised even today.
Dr. MLK Jr. and Malcolm X both spent time in prison... 2 of the best speakers of any generation 😈 Mahatma Gandhi did prison time too for decades of activism. Nelson Mandela spent decades in prison in S. Africa, branded a 'terrorist' by the apartheid white supremacist powers... And he became S. Africa's first black president!
Trump's full page ads in a few NY newspapers should have been enough to remove him from running for office. The man is odious his voters are even worse.
So Powerful!!! What an impressive young man, I am so proud of what he has become. He shows strength of character and inner Peace. I wish him much success, he is what the country needs now to affect change in politics. Thank you Yusef Salaam!
He didn't waste any of his time hating Trump. He just went right on to the main point of his mission, which obviously does not include low feelings. Amazing human being.
*Good to see Mr Salaam rising above his journey with a positive outcome. Use what you have learned to make this a better world for all! We wish you the best my friend.*
Thank you so much Sir for running for office. We need more of you running for office now. This man is exampling a survivor, not a victim. We are all victimized at times. Bringing awareness and staying true to yourself and morals that affect the greater good, is where I feel that this country should move towards. We have choices to make for the future. I pray for peace.
If we do not clean up the quality of our life from the bottom-up and the top-down we will forever be in conflict with ourselves. We can do this if we follow the power of a good love.
Sticks and stones may break my bones and words can lock you up for life, he has survived his plight and it has cleansed him 🙏🏼 may he stay true to his purpose and he will always find support
I am speechless. I am not articulated enough to express my admiration for all FIVE!! I can never articulate my sadness for all Black & Brown Humans that are constantly being judged, harassed, beaten and murdered. I'm speechless yet heartened by your stance with integrity and love to make changes. I'm sure I didn't articulate my admiration correctly but please know, I stand with you!
You were a vulnerable child who was manipulated by law enforcement and society as a whole, Yusef. Seeing you rise and act to lead is beyond inspiring. You will win.
Man…I did 22 hours in county jail for a stupid fight I started. At age 41! And I was so…stressed. The shame of it happening was stupendous. To see this man going to actual prison at such a young age, and come out of there with such Grace is amazing. Just amazing
This man stands in row with the TN3, with Rep. Warnock and so many upcoming young people of colour in politics. Accompanied by so many smart Gen Z democratic politicians.
This man's story is one of 100s of 1000s told in the South. Beatings, lynching, gunshots...I'm reminded of a story told of a black man wrapped in log chain and drowned in the French Broad river in Cocke Co, TN. The deputy said, "That's just like a n____r to steal more chain than he could swim away with." Or the young man who dared look at a white woman in MS who was beaten to death, or my friend's son who was shot to death in Meridian, MS in the early '60s. They were imprisoned for things they didn't do, castrated in the woods by Klansmen and killed in various inhumane ways after being tortured. I'm glad this man made it, but a lot of my friends and acquaintances didn't. It was very dangerous for me as well, a white man who spoke/speaks for parity for all regardless of ethnicity (there's only one race, the human one, with all its different and beautiful expressions).
What a beautiful man (and panel). Praying is talking to God, Meditating is listening for the answer! From Australia I ask, please America support this man .
What a beautiful man! He’s doing good work and I hope he gets voted in!

There are thousands of innocents in American prisons! In the 90s they built hundreds of prisons & wrongfully locked up thousands!

City Council? Brother.... you are POTUS material!
One step at a time. 😁
This is what a human being should be. He will go far. We need him.
For a man that spend time in prison he talks so intelligently and eloquently than an ivy League educated Trump ever has that I can remember.

Maybe that death penalty should apply to himself because he is broken every law there is.
This case is absolutely a stain on America.
What a voice for truth. It would be an honor to vote for a candidate like this, for any office. America's best, standing up to America's worst.
