    Is it me, or did the 'celebrities' look awkward/uncomfortable when Jesse mentioned the 'brands'? They damn well know Jesse was throwing them subliminals...Lool!!!

      I'm Hispanic with black ancestors in my bloodline. So I can say this much with full confidence; I was ASTOUNDED at the looks on their faces, as if this man said some **** he wasn't supposed to disclose or didn't get approval to say. Why is it that this man has not been heard from again? I find it all very strange and you hit it RIGHT ON THE NOSE. 🎯

    As important a message now, today as it was then, as it has always been.
    Black is power. Black is human. Black is beautiful, Black is Truth.
    Black is our then, our now and our futures. I stand with and support Black empowerment and liberation ♡

    On a scale of 1-10; this is a 20. I love how he uses his platform, his articulation of the issues - Jesse, I nominate you to lead the next Civil Rights Movement in this country. Power to the People...All the Power to the People, as I raise my fist head. He makes me feel so very Black and so proud - my brotha you do your people proud!

    It's not about the looks for him, his mind speaks for himself. Smart black man. We need more like him to speak the truth. Instead of getting caught up into this garbage of music to be an influence. Enough said!

    Here I am searching for this years after it took place. Because it was very special.
    I am not a black man and I am not American, but my struggle is his struggle. The only difference is that, he asks for change on his country. I ask for change in the world.
    There will FOREVER be some form of oppression for as long as there is social inequality. For as long as we allow the wealth of humanity to be funneled towards the few while the masses struggle.
    Like Kropotkin said: "Competition is the way of the jungle, Cooperation is the way of civilization"
    Forget about color and gender or any other form of discrimination once you end social inequality.
    It will solve 99,999999% of all our problems, past, present and future. Just like that.

    I love how he's technically biracial but he identifies as a black man. So many biracial people dont claim their blackness so its a beautiful thing to see.

    • @michelleobrien6996
      @michelleobrien6996 2 роки тому +2

      Really? I thought that doesn't happen. I have long wondered why when a person has a black parent and a white parent the person is always regarded as black, regardless of who the child grew up with. Barack Obama being one obvious example of this.
