Perfect. No notes. Everyone in this country should watch this and LISTEN. If I ran a company’s HR I’d add it to onboarding training, because the workplace form of this privilege-panic thinking exists all over.
Blacks seem to be so divided here in Buffalo.I have seen them in my area act more like crabs in a barrel here.They only come together if there is something negative to do outside of that they don't seem to stick together.Its obvious when I see an Arab store on ever corner in the black community that blacks dont stick together to rise higher and do positive things in their community.And not all blacks here but most in the area I live in.I don't see any unity unless they want to pull another black down.There morals/ethics are twisted.
Every word you spoke is truth. This will never stop in America. Black people are targets by living. If another politician says "This has to stop, and it has to stop Now" I'm going to throw up. This is forever in America. 💔
I have a lot of family there, my heart immediately sank when my husband told me about this. I ran so fast to call my people. I am so sick of this crap. It still amazes me how these mass shooters with all this ammo manage to be taken alive and well, not one bruise. Make it make sense.🤔🤬

And we do need compassion for our own in order to stop shooting one another.Im so glad you posted because I'm in the process of setting up a website for my business to help others.And all I will say is that I prayed about the word compassion and that's the word you used.To me its a clear sign from God.Thanks for commenting you helped me more than you know.

We have to go on at work as if WE are not in pain. The mental and emotional warfare. Many of us go through every day is atrocious....yet we still keep it moving.
As a former history major, a couple years back I was writing a critique to the book The Way Back by F.H. Buckley. In it, he decried how America was being systematically stolen from "people" as the then Obama Administration made certain concessions to minority groups. In my paper, I countered several of his points, that America neither had poor white people's best interest (their proximity to slave owners didn't do them any real, tangible favors) and how America has chosen who it will prop up to continue its ideals. The professor who was grading the paper called it an opinion piece with no factual evidence. Even though I had over 120 sources...yea, people chose what they want to learn about American or global history to suit their egos.
I wish we had the same history professor. Mine was German, in his late 60s, and cried through a certain part as he went off syllabus a few times while citing facts of their destruction of everywhere and everything on this planet. He would've loved your paper, he encouraged us to research.
I think your message is so on point right now. I’m 70 years old and I can see beyond the veil. It’s all by design, their reaction to CRT, told me everything I needed to know. I’m so done with all of this, thankfully the planet will cleanse itself of these Neanderthals and soulless organisms. In meantime, our people need to stay vigilant and protect themselves as much as they can. I want to thank you for sharing such a powerful message. It brought a smile to my face listening to your words. I feel great knowing the next generation is more than ready for these challenges. Peace and love.

This is horrifying, I feel sorry for the families of those lives lost. This is the end result of White Amerikkkan history repeating itself. Now is the time to teach ALL children and youth the full scope and true history of the USA so they can know why things are the way they are now. Obviously sparing this White man's feelings with omissions, quarter truths and lies did nothing but create the same type of monster from the past. The fact that he was taken alive means he will get certain membership privileges during his incarceration. I hope he never gets out.
🎯🎯🎯 that part. I'm appalled that black parents didn't fight back against these school systems when they took history regarding black Americans out of the education system... like HOW??? White parents will make a huge fuss if there's something in the education system they want changed, why would black parents not do the same??! And then if you see that it's not being taught or not taught correctly at what point do you realize that it's your responsibility as a parent to teach your children about TRUE UNFABRICATED HISTORY IN AMERICA??? They act like these things were so ancient when they truly are not!
Amen amen amen this is what I've been telling my people that's exactly what I've been telling my black people don't hate us they hate their self they blame me for working hard and buy me a house a new car get my education from what I had to do to survive they hate me for working overtime but they blame me for that their he sat behind a computer and learn head but he didn't learn how to be independent I have never been on welfare food stamps and all even though I seen white people have it and use it to their advantage I notice how they watch me in a grocery store to see how I'm going to pay for my groceries I paid taxes and then I why people say yeah we paid you ain't faithful s*** I work and I bust my ass and sacrifice maybe they should try to do the same I sacrifice to get what I got enough course of white people will blame you for not being poor like they are I tell him you've been white all your life I made 115,000 they took 28,000 out MyPay for taxes and I'm black and proud when they when you see him standing on the side of the road say I'll work for food and you tell him there's a job up to Street hiring I'm white I don't do that kind of work give a man a fish he eats for today teach a man how to fish and he'll eat for life so excuse me why you sitting on your white ass complaining there's a saying God helps those who help themselves thank you God for helping me don't blame me because I got up at 4 in the morning and worked overtime I never said that job is to downgrading my father worked 47 years address sanitary worker 6 days a week my mother worked as a caregiver along hours my grandmother work as a caterer long hours my grandfather worked on the railroad my mother's father work building the Lincoln Tunnel my brother is electrician my other brother is an ironworker hard work never hurt nobody but Jose who want to sleep late get a life you've been white all your life they kill people who never did nothing to them cuz they got some crazy notion think about this 18 years old man didn't even know those people when he killed them in Buffalo he didn't even know those people when we worship in the church that welcomed him don't give life in prison executor

I am so tired of this. It pisses me off that they are trying to use any excuse to get him off. They need to call it what it is. He is a racist extremist killer that purposefully went out his way to target these people. It's so sad that we can't be safe anywhere. I pray this killer can be prosecuted and sent to prison. Something needs to be done. Sending prayers to the family and friends of those affected by shooting. 🙏 Good Discussion Calvin.
@@NoirAngel510 exactly. He mentioned nothing about an anti-black American hate crime bill. As an aside, during his press conference in Buffalo he made a Freudian slip where he said that the shooter had purchased his bulletproof vest. Why did he feel the need to tell us that he purchased it? I have a funny suspicion that “they” gave this kid everything he needed to commit this demonic act.
He doesn't care about protecting Black Americans, we are consider a commodity!! All he gave was another this is not who America is speech, and this racist ideology is exactly what America is! Benign and neglect!! Dr. Claude Anderson got it right years ago.
You are wise beyond your years. I appreciate you. And please black folks DO NOT apologize to the media and others who expect us to forgive them for their sick and evil hatred toward us. We owe them nothing!!!
@@Gloria_All_Day thats the discussion I was hoping my comment brings up. When will it be the standard that a not guilty plea cannot be entered. I know right now most people dont care because its minority dead but havent there been enough of the school shootings and bars and concerts for there to be the standard tbat says once a crime is committed that check these boxes a not guilty plea cannot be entered.
seeing my city on this channel for a mass shooting is something i can’t even wrap my head around… thank you for posting about this and prayers to everyone who’s been hurt and killed 🙏🏽
I am with you, I’m from Buffalo as well. And to see Calvin commentary on this is surreal . Still trying to understand, hope for better days, praying for Buffalo and global healing. Really heartbroken...
My condolences to your city. I'm from Chicago. There are mass shootings practically every day here. It's mind numbing. I don't know what's happening to society. Guns are used to end an argument, solve an imaginary problem or provide a sense of power.
I lived in Buffalo for a few years when I graduated from college... I'm sick over this. My heart goes out to everybody out there, particularly on the East Side, where this Tops store was.... The fact that somebody has that much hate in they heart that they think it's their right to walk up in a place and kill a bunch of people who ain't do nothing to them... You took somebody parent, child, spouse, sibling, friend, coworker... all because you think "the county is being taken from you". Forever changed other people's lives because of your anger, hate and fear. I also thought the same about INTEL! With all the technology and as much as he was posting online.... how nobody caught this before it happened?!
@@billyflood2430 yes but it could happen anywhere, same thing happened in Charleston, same thing happened in El Paso when that walmart was shot up. I'm wondering like Calvin said, how is the FBI and these cyber terrorism not tracking this stuff online??! People openly talking about shooting up places and targeting certain demographics of people... how they not catching this stuff? Is anybody even looking out for domestic terrorism?
The (White) authorities don't care enough to investigate and even if they did, there would be strong partisan pushback because it would implicate a lot of politicians in a certain Political Party...
At 10:15, with regards to "red-lining", I'm 58 yo and have lived in Buffalo all my life. l noticed inherent discrimination a long time ago here. I heard the word "white-power" as a child in the school system. My parents informed me that it was the reason why Route 33 was established years ago. And that Humboldt Parkway (a once gorgeous and thriving area where black people lived)--that a part of it was somehow gutted, and the 33 was built in the middle of it! The highway starts from downtown Buffalo and extends out into the suburbs, so "they" can travel to and from downtown, without driving into the city of Buffalo. While growing up, I often would wonder why Humboldt Parkway looked awkward. It's split in half! Now...I'm hearing discussions from politicians, that they're planning on getting rid of the 33. Hmmm, I wonder why?
Mr. Michaels, I've always enjoyed your messages and the manner in which you deliver them. I'm in agreement with your viewpoints based on historical facts and logical analytical observations. When you commented on certain people feeling frustrated about the declining birth rate, it made me remember something from about five years ago. My co-worker's daughter, my great-great niece and eight other women that I learned about through my job site all underwent hysterectomies after giving birth to their last child. The doctors all told their spouses and families variations of the same medical condition. These women were bleeding after giving birth. The doctors had to perform the procedures or risk their deaths. All of these women were Black and young. When I heard these stories, I began to wonder whether this was a theme throughout the country. Basically, genocide. I heard one national story during the past 10 years, but no outcry to research and to determine whether patterns existed. I'm usually not a conspiracy theory type of man. However, for my small network of co-workers to encounter 10 young women in the same situation after child birth, made me pause. The mathematical probability was enough to give me pause. Have you come across similar information or created a video with similar information? Thanks for who your are and for what you do!
This needs to be addressed more because they specifically target black women and also try to get them to give up their child upon birth. It is sickening. We need to teach our young people. It is urgent.
Happened to my mom. She had one after my birth in the late 60’s. Said they could not stop the bleeding. There is so much risk for black woman with birth. So many women die😔
Our mortality rate is off the charts too. I think it's because of poor or no prenatal health care. All these Healthcare issues for POC's are by design.
When I read the manifesto, the craziest part to me was when he said "he would feel better knowing the ppl he planned to kill were criminals or future criminals" but the other options were a school and a church. Non of those places nor where he did it are places associated with criminals.
Thank you Calvin for this video! I appreciate your voice of reasoning! I’ve always questioned… if they are so scared/ fearful/ hate of us, why antagonize us then try to play victim in the end??? Smh crazy….
Ronda we have to stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt. Do you really believe that they have spent centuries of committing atrocities towards us because of ski color and now saying they don't see color and you believe that. Maybe we need Black supremacies to protect black interests
Word Malcom X said it best... The media that labeled the nation of islam and Malcom x As... THE HATE THAT HATE PRODUCED Wasn't about We shall overcome or integration Who in their right mind want to integrate and live in a society with those who will lynch you in a millisecond Nation was like you hate us, we hate you even more No integration They valued segregation as much as the Klan And they prospered Had their own stores, schools, hospitals communities... Some people need not be beaten and lynched over and over to separate.
Totally agree with everything you said....except for wypipo voting against their self-interest. We have to realize that WS is their core interest and they will vote for that over anything else.
WS vote for shit that's keeping them more broke & less healthy and then blame blacks for when the shit they voted for don't go right. Don't make no damn sense
If I were to identify a real mental health issue I'd say that it's the at-risk populace (black folks) NOT seeing the handwriting on the wall. NOT pooling resources, NOT putting aside the corrosive gender war, NOT seeing all legally trained black personnel strategize the proper resistance to what's going on, NOT forming international alliances...I could go on. 🤔 🤷🏾♀️
When we tried to do this, our leaders, communities, task forces, schools, food supplies, land, banks, and I can go on were and are still being destroyed, turned into government agencies. No one listened to the older people who knew what was coming...we were old fools, slow, in the way ...needing to be euthanized, and this is a new day, age. Well, maybe but, same old playbook on their team.
That crabs in a barrel mentality among us is also by design. Having fathers stripped from homes, having women isolated and denied the ability to develop generational wealth. Religious fanaticism, poverty, low wages and incarceration, red lining has us crammed into small areas fighting each other for little to no resources, drugs dumped into our neighborhoods and killing our leaders. All by design.
Your viewpoint is always to timely and so refreshing and just so on point! Framing this as a mental health thing when you can literally track, in real-time, the radicalisation of some of these people is a conscious choice.
Was so devasted when I heard the news and thought my God, not again! Heartbreaking and yes I am super pissed! Just like that,10 innocent lives gone! Prayers goes out to their families and loved ones.😭😭Thanks Kelvin, as always u nailed it!
First, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and the Buffalo community impacted by the violence of yesterday. I think those that do hate crimes should be categorized as a national terrorism, especially when a people of the same group are executed just for existing. Mass shooting are a form of genocide and they are literally no different than what Hitler did, and there should be zero excuses and tolerance for these actions. 1. I think we need to vote, and vote out individuals that don’t hold or livelihood, needs, and wants up with regards of policy and law maker. 2. We need to boycott, be willing to go without, and to seems a message that individually and collectively we are going to put our time and money into business, products, and media etc. that values our existence and black skin!!! I know racism is entrenched in so much of our everyday life but it is important to get these entities to see we are not playing, and most of them are moved by money. For example: I don’t watch Fox News, Movie or anything else they have like Fox Soul because of the hate speech they amplify daily, specifically against black people (they are against other groups too but most if those groups use there whiteness selectively). I don’t have social media. I refuse to give Meta and Twitter (for example) my time and views translates to money and data. And I try to remain mindful that when they are giving a platform to individuals and groups that promote white supremacy and hate. Also I noticed when they have the information on these individuals/groups they only seem to take them off the platform when they have offended certain people/communities like the Jewish or Asian community. I could go on and on, and I might not catch everything but I absolutely know what I chose once I have the knowledge/information. I am waiting to see if all of celebrities that keep saying they were so traumatized by Will Smith (even though they were not present and they seem like the are are apart of a comedy cult. Or maybe they are strategically using certain language to be apart of a lawsuit) to speak out this violent act, other hate crimes, or even the war. But most of them are silent and just want us to continue to be distracted but the foolishness called entertainment. Shame on his family, friends, and followers that knew about any behavior, activities, and plan he was doing or planning on participating in and they did nothing. He is 18, which means his family knew and probably knew of and /or supported some of (if not all) his white suprematist/ bigoted beliefs. Also, anyone that saw his live at any point (including his commute, to when arrived at the location) and they didn’t contact the authorities should lose their job, social media account, and they should be arrested! Since most if these companies have monitors, if they knew they should be fined and penalized and that money should be reinvested into the impact family/communities. Lastly, many of these armed white people that commit these crimes, with weapon still on them continue to live while unarmed black people are shot down and seem as a threat. At the end of the day, I don’t think freedom of speech and hate speech shouldn’t be synonymous or protected by the first amendment or with civil liberties/rights. I am quit sure the media and the right and far right was/is hoping a riot breaks out so they can deflect their focus off of national terrorist! Black people experience pain, trauma, and grief and it is frustrating when ours is diminished, ignored, or dismiss; being targets of hate and racism should never be normalized!
Thank you Calvin Michaels. As a first time viewer I thank you for your commentary. Quite to the point. As a 71 y.o. latino, lifetime New Yorker I've seen their entitlement my whole life. Those unable to share in that entitlement turn to rage which sadly they act upon, sometimes in the worst way.
Superlative, Calvin!!! A thousand thanks for your commentary on our ongoing plight here in AmeriKKKa. Black people can hardly enjoy the myriad blessings of life all because we have to expend an incredible amount of time, energy and creative thought in a continuous self-defense posture against the malfeasance of the Caucasoid species - a xenophobic rubric springing from their millennia-long pathologies. It's exhausting! smh
Thank you so much for saying that this incident wasn't about mental health. I am so so tired of the media and society using this as an excuse everytime something like this happens. But please also start talking about this when it's the same color to the same color. That conversation hasn't been had yet.
I'm glad to have your analysis this morning. Also, I just found out on Twitter (and there is a local news channel interview WIVBTV), like D Roof, this murderer interacted with a potential victim. A man was interviewed saying THE DAY BEFORE he had a conversation with the murderer right outside of the supermarket and even bought him a sandwich and a drink. Of course court won't even happen until next year, but that's the evidence for his premeditation.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 another banger vid!!! While we gave the Presidency, the house and the Senate to the DEMS and still nothing has been done what we asked for! We need to look seriously at getting behind progressive candidates and no more corporate democrats.
On his manifesto he said that "I am not insane and I am in my right mind. I have nothing mentally wrong with me". He said that. But we all know who runs this country let alone this planet. I foresee no justice for the black lives that this RWS took in the future criminal law system that will bring him to trial.
AMEN Brother! I hope you understand why I think so much of you and why you should be in politics Shake the table with the truth more often. Thank You! Much Much Love.
Thank you Calvin. I hear the frustration in your voice and I’m feeling the same way. I’m really frustrated with America right now. We can’t focus on making the country better because people are trying to take away rights that we already have. And then Democrats act scary as if Republicans are really the ones who are in charge. I’m just tired and find myself depressed.
0:45 I totally agree, especially with housing. Who'd have thought making housing, health and education prohibitively expensive would make people feel like starting a family is not a good idea.
Sir, you are dropping intellectually profound truths and positions that are at the core of racial discourse and disconnect in this country and your platform needs national audience and exposure. Powerful stuff from an astute intellectual
The thing that binds people more than anything is their prejudices. If you hate a group of people, other people who also hate that group will call you brother and love you more than they love their non-racist family.
We live in a world that says wrong is right and right is wrong!!!! You make so much sense in what you are saying because rather someone agrees with you or if he or she doesn’t!!, it makes a HELL OF LOT OF SENSE TO ME!!!
I want to echo what pyscez93 said. I agree more than 100%. I truly understand that living in the U.S. is truly living behind enemy lines. That is exactly why I spent 3 decades in the U.S. Army as a Special Forces Commander (aka - Green Beret). I learned so much about so many things. I was trained as a Sniper and explosive expert, and so many other things. I learned to speak, read, and write 3 different languages. I graduated summa cum laude from a major University and I became a commissioned Officer in the U.S. armed forces. I also attended the U.S. Army War College in the state of Pennsylvania together with a whole host of other schools and training. I was deployed in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan for the last 9 years of my military career and I learned so much in those combat zones. I have exemplary transferable leadership and training skills. The only reason I joined the military and the Special Forces is because I knew I needed a deadly skill set to defend myself here in the U.S. because I understand precisely and clearly…I am living every day behind enemy lines and these white folk are showing every black person every day, and all day that they have dominion over black folk. I don’t care about other groups of color because the black person’s experience in the United States is unique to black folk here in the U.S. I do not include other black folk from other places either because their experience in the U.S. is not the same because their culture and their trauma is different…it’s not the same as the black folk who has an ancestral connection here in the U.S. By the way, there will be no hate crime charges leveled against the shooter in Buffalo. Hate crime charges are never brought at the state level under the respective state’s hate crime laws…if they even have those laws in the state…because there is no crimes that has ever been committed by whites against blacks…no matter the optics that will ever warrants a hate crime charge brought by the State. In the immortal words of the singer and performer, Michael Jackson, “They don’t really care about us”
There's no swift accountability. The system protects way too many of those who do these massive incidents that don't take lives into account and it's been an issue for years. Because they know they can not be disciplined to an impactful degree nor do they care. They need to be made an example of so others can be shown there's no cushy relief they can have behind paroles or pleaded insanity that they love to use for the crutch. No life in jail. No time in an institution for mental care, enough is enough.
I waiting to see how the sports teams handle this. If they respond the correct way, the fans are gonna start telling on themselves. Im old enough to remember when Kap was playing the Bills and not only chanted “USA!” at him, ppl were selling T-Shirts of him being aimed at by a sniper scope.
You definitely said if Trash K gets off. We will see a up raise in this kind of crime. People minding their business get gun down at a grocery store by an individual that should have been aborted.
First, my prayers go out to the families. friends, and the community of those who were affected by this act of pure hate and terror. Calvin, I appreciate your commentary and agree with your take on this. I would also like for more African American men and women to address crimes in the black community perpetrated by our own. I feel it does not get the attention it deserves. On a local level, I have helped with organizing neighborhood watch programs, but it seems crime of all sorts is out of control in our community. There should be just as much outrage when there is a drive-by shooting as this, in my opinion.
Their money can’t bring these people back . These people didn’t seem to have a lifestyle of millionaires yet this is all their families are going to receive the traditional condolences and 2.5 million to spilt amongst themselves. No counseling. By any chance start passings and utilizing a hate crime bill for targeting this community.inhuman treatment is outlawed for animals why not us.
As usual, I agree with you Calvin. I am upset that the person was so young, did he get this way from his family? It is how society helps with these mentally unstable people to feel he or any one, could plan out such an atrocity. My spirit was heavy today. I had to just go home and rest.

My black people listen carefully: You cannot stop a war with peace. You cannot stop acts of violence by taking no action. *You can stop a war by going to war. *You can stop violence by creating "dreadful consequences" for those that perpetrate that violence. You cannot change human hearts. *You can change human actions. A sitting duck is a sitting duck. So, when will YOU choose to finally stand up? Some fights/struggles cannot be avoided. (WE cannot avoid confrontation any longer.) Those who are afraid and unwilling to prepare themselves for trouble will always find themselves in it. Look around you and think about these things. If you are waiting on this ws government to do anything for us, you will be waiting forever. You cannot ask those who enjoy being evil to execute righteousness. It is not in them to do what is good. We've tried all other avenues. There is only but one course of action to take at this point. If you run, you will look behind you all your life and find no rest. It's time to stop running, my people, and finally face these demons..., TOGETHER. 🤝🤜🤛
Remember, there are different forms of warfare. Physical warfare may not be the best ootion because we are outnumbered, but there are ways... Ways I can't discuss here.
@@masterofkoin8428 We have a right to protect ourselves and protect ourselves we must. How long have we prayed to be delivered from an enemy who has repeatedly skipped down the yellow brick road? God won't do for us what we can do for ourselves. He will fight our battles only when we decide to get in the ring. Joshua didn't face imaginary giants. They were real and so was his sword. He was a man of God and David, a man after God's own heart. I am not saying to be foolish in engaging in war but to make sure there are consequences for our enemies to deter the things that keep happening. I know all about those other forms of warfare but they have not helped us in the past. So, what makes you think they will help us now? God will take you into the promised land but you have to put in the work both spiritually and physically. Believers forget that the time for the enemy to make war with the saints is upon us. Many are not ready for the reality that they will have to fight for their own lives. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." For he teaches my hands to fight and make war, my arms to bend the bow...I don't believe in starting trouble but I do believe in finishing it. We have to finally finish what has been started against us. Yes, both spiritually and also in the natural. Prayer and fasting is a must but so is courage and honor. G'day! 🙏
@@justify798 i was agreeing with you right up until you started praising the yt man God. There is no God. Pray all u want its useless. We are all just prople. There is no Man in the sky coming to save us. And any God who watch shit like this happen n do nothing is definately no God of mines
I had never heard of you until I came across your video just now, but I am so very glad that I did!

You remind me of an activist I saw back in the mid '70s at The Black Theology Project held in Atlanta, Georgia.

"...they decided to vote against their interests to ensure that they could stay above somebody else".... A WORD!
This was not mental health this was hate
It's not a mental health issue, it's a wicked heart filled with hatred.
like we should feel but yall are always been talking about kumbaya
Yes. Evil.
Exactly 💯
born and raised that way, mental issue no, raised that way yes!
Yes! Raised by evil parents.
Perfect. No notes. Everyone in this country should watch this and LISTEN. If I ran a company’s HR I’d add it to onboarding training, because the workplace form of this privilege-panic thinking exists all over.
Very well said
Yeah, more needs to be done with these weirdos. Killing people for no fuckin' reason...

@@MrTee12 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Blacks seem to be so divided here in Buffalo.I have seen them in my area act more like crabs in a barrel here.They only come together if there is something negative to do outside of that they don't seem to stick together.Its obvious when I see an Arab store on ever corner in the black community that blacks dont stick together to rise higher and do positive things in their community.And not all blacks here but most in the area I live in.I don't see any unity unless they want to pull another black down.There morals/ethics are twisted.
You are absolutely right!!! 💯 I love you all & would protect any of you 🖤🖤🖤
Perfect timing. I needed this discussion right now. I wish more people could see this.
Every word you spoke is truth. This will never stop in America. Black people are targets by living. If another politician says "This has to stop, and it has to stop Now" I'm going to throw up. This is forever in America. 💔

That’s due to their compassion for their own!

@@lynettedelaney5837 I'm not so sure. He tried the right way numerous time. He knew how the results would play out but he needed to make a point. I read his manifesto.
Christopher Dorner was going after the corrupt racist gang infested LAPD. Even he stated that in his manifesto.
They're a selfish bunch. Never occurred to them that listening to history in class as a black child isn't fun either

As a former history major, a couple years back I was writing a critique to the book The Way Back by F.H. Buckley. In it, he decried how America was being systematically stolen from "people" as the then Obama Administration made certain concessions to minority groups. In my paper, I countered several of his points, that America neither had poor white people's best interest (their proximity to slave owners didn't do them any real, tangible favors) and how America has chosen who it will prop up to continue its ideals. The professor who was grading the paper called it an opinion piece with no factual evidence. Even though I had over 120 sources...yea, people chose what they want to learn about American or global history to suit their egos.
I would love to read your paper my friend.
@@chronus8037 same!
I wish we had the same history professor. Mine was German, in his late 60s, and cried through a certain part as he went off syllabus a few times while citing facts of their destruction of everywhere and everything on this planet. He would've loved your paper, he encouraged us to research.
Hey, don't hide your hard work and brilliance from us, publish that doohickie online Man!

I think your message is so on point right now. I’m 70 years old and I can see beyond the veil. It’s all by design, their reaction to CRT, told me everything I needed to know. I’m so done with all of this, thankfully the planet will cleanse itself of these Neanderthals and soulless organisms. In meantime, our people need to stay vigilant and protect themselves as much as they can. I want to thank you for sharing such a powerful message. It brought a smile to my face listening to your words. I feel great knowing the next generation is more than ready for these challenges. Peace and love.

This is horrifying, I feel sorry for the families of those lives lost.
This is the end result of White Amerikkkan history repeating itself. Now is the time to teach ALL children and youth the full scope and true history of the USA so they can know why things are the way they are now.
Obviously sparing this White man's feelings with omissions, quarter truths and lies did nothing but create the same type of monster from the past.
The fact that he was taken alive means he will get certain membership privileges during his incarceration. I hope he never gets out.
🎯🎯🎯 that part. I'm appalled that black parents didn't fight back against these school systems when they took history regarding black Americans out of the education system... like HOW??? White parents will make a huge fuss if there's something in the education system they want changed, why would black parents not do the same??! And then if you see that it's not being taught or not taught correctly at what point do you realize that it's your responsibility as a parent to teach your children about TRUE UNFABRICATED HISTORY IN AMERICA??? They act like these things were so ancient when they truly are not!

"When you're used to privilege, equality can feel like oppression"
I am so tired of this. It pisses me off that they are trying to use any excuse to get him off. They need to call it what it is. He is a racist extremist killer that purposefully went out his way to target these people. It's so sad that we can't be safe anywhere. I pray this killer can be prosecuted and sent to prison. Something needs to be done. Sending prayers to the family and friends of those affected by shooting. 🙏 Good Discussion Calvin.
defend your kind
What's sad is they'll literally get upset if you call out the mental health issue when it's an obvious excuse. It can't be that every time
YES!! Everybody but themselves is merely in the wrong!
It can be, but since it's unaddressed it will only get worse.

@J Royal Same. He is another placeholder.
@@NoirAngel510 exactly. He mentioned nothing about an anti-black American hate crime bill. As an aside, during his press conference in Buffalo he made a Freudian slip where he said that the shooter had purchased his bulletproof vest. Why did he feel the need to tell us that he purchased it? I have a funny suspicion that “they” gave this kid everything he needed to commit this demonic act.
He doesn't care about protecting Black Americans, we are consider a commodity!! All he gave was another this is not who America is speech, and this racist ideology is exactly what America is! Benign and neglect!! Dr. Claude Anderson got it right years ago.
You are wise beyond your years. I appreciate you. And please black folks DO NOT apologize to the media and others who expect us to forgive them for their sick and evil hatred toward us. We owe them nothing!!!

@@Gloria_All_Day thats the discussion I was hoping my comment brings up. When will it be the standard that a not guilty plea cannot be entered. I know right now most people dont care because its minority dead but havent there been enough of the school shootings and bars and concerts for there to be the standard tbat says once a crime is committed that check these boxes a not guilty plea cannot be entered.
seeing my city on this channel for a mass shooting is something i can’t even wrap my head around… thank you for posting about this and prayers to everyone who’s been hurt and killed 🙏🏽
I am with you, I’m from Buffalo as well. And to see Calvin commentary on this is surreal . Still trying to understand, hope for better days, praying for Buffalo and global healing. Really heartbroken...
Racism is EVERYWHERE. If we stop denying we will one day fight back.
My condolences to your city. I'm from Chicago. There are mass shootings practically every day here. It's mind numbing. I don't know what's happening to society. Guns are used to end an argument, solve an imaginary problem or provide a sense of power.
I’m so sorry… I’m praying for y’all!! Y’all didn’t deserve this! 🙏🏾♥️
He did what Kyle Rittenhouse was going to do
I lived in Buffalo for a few years when I graduated from college... I'm sick over this. My heart goes out to everybody out there, particularly on the East Side, where this Tops store was....
The fact that somebody has that much hate in they heart that they think it's their right to walk up in a place and kill a bunch of people who ain't do nothing to them... You took somebody parent, child, spouse, sibling, friend, coworker... all because you think "the county is being taken from you". Forever changed other people's lives because of your anger, hate and fear.
I also thought the same about INTEL! With all the technology and as much as he was posting online.... how nobody caught this before it happened?!
I lived in Cheektowaga and loved my time there too. The terrorist was not from Buffalo. He drove 4 hours to get there.
@@billyflood2430 yes but it could happen anywhere, same thing happened in Charleston, same thing happened in El Paso when that walmart was shot up. I'm wondering like Calvin said, how is the FBI and these cyber terrorism not tracking this stuff online??! People openly talking about shooting up places and targeting certain demographics of people... how they not catching this stuff? Is anybody even looking out for domestic terrorism?
The (White) authorities don't care enough to investigate and even if they did, there would be strong partisan pushback because it would implicate a lot of politicians in a certain Political Party...
Why would they catch something they encourage and manipulate to happen?
At 10:15, with regards to "red-lining", I'm 58 yo and have lived in Buffalo all my life. l noticed inherent discrimination a long time ago here. I heard the word "white-power" as a child in the school system. My parents informed me that it was the reason why Route 33 was established years ago. And that Humboldt Parkway (a once gorgeous and thriving area where black people lived)--that a part of it was somehow gutted, and the 33 was built in the middle of it! The highway starts from downtown Buffalo and extends out into the suburbs, so "they" can travel to and from downtown, without driving into the city of Buffalo. While growing up, I often would wonder why Humboldt Parkway looked awkward. It's split in half! Now...I'm hearing discussions from politicians, that they're planning on getting rid of the 33. Hmmm, I wonder why?
Mr. Michaels, I've always enjoyed your messages and the manner in which you deliver them. I'm in agreement with your viewpoints based on historical facts and logical analytical observations. When you commented on certain people feeling frustrated about the declining birth rate, it made me remember something from about five years ago. My co-worker's daughter, my great-great niece and eight other women that I learned about through my job site all underwent hysterectomies after giving birth to their last child. The doctors all told their spouses and families variations of the same medical condition. These women were bleeding after giving birth. The doctors had to perform the procedures or risk their deaths. All of these women were Black and young. When I heard these stories, I began to wonder whether this was a theme throughout the country. Basically, genocide. I heard one national story during the past 10 years, but no outcry to research and to determine whether patterns existed. I'm usually not a conspiracy theory type of man. However, for my small network of co-workers to encounter 10 young women in the same situation after child birth, made me pause. The mathematical probability was enough to give me pause. Have you come across similar information or created a video with similar information? Thanks for who your are and for what you do!
Yes Indeed! hysterectomies we're the thing around the middle 70-80s.
This needs to be addressed more because they specifically target black women and also try to get them to give up their child upon birth. It is sickening. We need to teach our young people. It is urgent.
Happened to my mom. She had one after my birth in the late 60’s. Said they could not stop the bleeding.
There is so much risk for black woman with birth. So many women die😔
Our mortality rate is off the charts too. I think it's because of poor or no prenatal health care. All these Healthcare issues for POC's are by design.
They had the evidence. They wanted this monster to succeed in what he did
Bingo!
When I read the manifesto, the craziest part to me was when he said "he would feel better knowing the ppl he planned to kill were criminals or future criminals" but the other options were a school and a church. Non of those places nor where he did it are places associated with criminals.
Thank you Calvin for this video! I appreciate your voice of reasoning!
I’ve always questioned… if they are so scared/ fearful/ hate of us, why antagonize us then try to play victim in the end??? Smh crazy….
Ronda we have to stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt. Do you really believe that they have spent centuries of committing atrocities towards us because of ski color and now saying they don't see color and you believe that. Maybe we need Black supremacies to protect black interests
This shows you just how Evil and Demonic these people truly are....Yall better learn to fight back....PERIOD
Anyone remember Black Walstreet ??? Red summer of 1918 ?? There's nothing new under the sun !!! This stuff's been happening for generations.

What a failed state America is lol
Damn you right!
WS vote for shit that's keeping them more broke & less healthy and then blame blacks for when the shit they voted for don't go right. Don't make no damn sense
If I were to identify a real mental health issue I'd say that it's the at-risk populace (black folks) NOT seeing the handwriting on the wall. NOT pooling resources, NOT putting aside the corrosive gender war, NOT seeing all legally trained black personnel strategize the proper resistance to what's going on, NOT forming international alliances...I could go on. 🤔 🤷🏾♀️
When we tried to do this, our leaders, communities, task forces, schools, food supplies, land, banks, and I can go on were and are still being destroyed, turned into government agencies. No one listened to the older people who knew what was coming...we were old fools, slow, in the way ...needing to be euthanized, and this is a new day, age. Well, maybe but, same old playbook on their team.
Facts…
Btw, says there are two comments aside from this but for some reason it isn’t showing. Idk whats happening on youtube.
That crabs in a barrel mentality among us is also by design. Having fathers stripped from homes, having women isolated and denied the ability to develop generational wealth. Religious fanaticism, poverty, low wages and incarceration, red lining has us crammed into small areas fighting each other for little to no resources, drugs dumped into our neighborhoods and killing our leaders. All by design.
Your viewpoint is always to timely and so refreshing and just so on point! Framing this as a mental health thing when you can literally track, in real-time, the radicalisation of some of these people is a conscious choice.
how does it all make you feel
Was so devasted when I heard the news and thought my God, not again! Heartbreaking and yes I am super pissed! Just like that,10 innocent lives gone! Prayers goes out to their families and loved ones.😭😭Thanks Kelvin, as always u nailed it!

First, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and the Buffalo community impacted by the violence of yesterday.
I think those that do hate crimes should be categorized as a national terrorism, especially when a people of the same group are executed just for existing. Mass shooting are a form of genocide and they are literally no different than what Hitler did, and there should be zero excuses and tolerance for these actions.
1. I think we need to vote, and vote out individuals that don’t hold or livelihood, needs, and wants up with regards of policy and law maker.
2. We need to boycott, be willing to go without, and to seems a message that individually and collectively we are going to put our time and money into business, products, and media etc. that values our existence and black skin!!! I know racism is entrenched in so much of our everyday life but it is important to get these entities to see we are not playing, and most of them are moved by money. For example: I don’t watch Fox News, Movie or anything else they have like Fox Soul because of the hate speech they amplify daily, specifically against black people (they are against other groups too but most if those groups use there whiteness selectively). I don’t have social media. I refuse to give Meta and Twitter (for example) my time and views translates to money and data. And I try to remain mindful that when they are giving a platform to individuals and groups that promote white supremacy and hate. Also I noticed when they have the information on these individuals/groups they only seem to take them off the platform when they have offended certain people/communities like the Jewish or Asian community. I could go on and on, and I might not catch everything but I absolutely know what I chose once I have the knowledge/information.
I am waiting to see if all of celebrities that keep saying they were so traumatized by Will Smith (even though they were not present and they seem like the are are apart of a comedy cult. Or maybe they are strategically using certain language to be apart of a lawsuit) to speak out this violent act, other hate crimes, or even the war. But most of them are silent and just want us to continue to be distracted but the foolishness called entertainment.
Shame on his family, friends, and followers that knew about any behavior, activities, and plan he was doing or planning on participating in and they did nothing. He is 18, which means his family knew and probably knew of and /or supported some of (if not all) his white suprematist/ bigoted beliefs. Also, anyone that saw his live at any point (including his commute, to when arrived at the location) and they didn’t contact the authorities should lose their job, social media account, and they should be arrested! Since most if these companies have monitors, if they knew they should be fined and penalized and that money should be reinvested into the impact family/communities.
Lastly, many of these armed white people that commit these crimes, with weapon still on them continue to live while unarmed black people are shot down and seem as a threat. At the end of the day, I don’t think freedom of speech and hate speech shouldn’t be synonymous or protected by the first amendment or with civil liberties/rights. I am quit sure the media and the right and far right was/is hoping a riot breaks out so they can deflect their focus off of national terrorist! Black people experience pain, trauma, and grief and it is frustrating when ours is diminished, ignored, or dismiss; being targets of hate and racism should never be normalized!
Amen!
He always speaks the Truth.
Thank you Calvin Michaels. As a first time viewer I thank you for your commentary. Quite to the point. As a 71 y.o. latino, lifetime New Yorker I've seen their entitlement my whole life. Those unable to share in that entitlement turn to rage which sadly they act upon, sometimes in the worst way.

Superlative, Calvin!!!
A thousand thanks for your commentary on our ongoing plight here in AmeriKKKa.
Black people can hardly enjoy the myriad blessings of life all because we have to expend an incredible amount of time, energy and creative thought in a continuous self-defense posture against the malfeasance of the Caucasoid species - a xenophobic rubric springing from their millennia-long pathologies.
It's exhausting! smh
Had to listen to this 2X.
Thank you so much for saying that this incident wasn't about mental health. I am so so tired of the media and society using this as an excuse everytime something like this happens. But please also start talking about this when it's the same color to the same color. That conversation hasn't been had yet.
Note that he focused on Black Americans not being a minority. Instead he saw them as “Other”.
Excellent analysis and use of historical facts. I'm so proud of this young Black man and others that are like him. There is a glimmer of hope!
I'm glad to have your analysis this morning. Also, I just found out on Twitter (and there is a local news channel interview WIVBTV), like D Roof, this murderer interacted with a potential victim. A man was interviewed saying THE DAY BEFORE he had a conversation with the murderer right outside of the supermarket and even bought him a sandwich and a drink. Of course court won't even happen until next year, but that's the evidence for his premeditation.
BRILLIANTLY & ELOQUENTLY STATED. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Most blame goes to this corrupt government

On his manifesto he said that "I am not insane and I am in my right mind. I have nothing mentally wrong with me". He said that. But we all know who runs this country let alone this planet.

Thank you Calvin. I hear the frustration in your voice and I’m feeling the same way. I’m really frustrated with America right now.

I totally agree, especially with housing.
Who'd have thought making housing, health and education prohibitively expensive would make people feel like starting a family is not a good idea.
II agree100. Unfortunately this will continue to happen. This is how America is structured.
This commentary was spot on Calvin. Thank you!
Sir, you are dropping intellectually profound truths and positions that are at the core of racial discourse and disconnect in this country and your platform needs national audience and exposure. Powerful stuff from an astute intellectual
I totally agree with you, this dude is saying a whole lot and he needs to be heard on a grand scale. He knows what black people need to know.
The thing that binds people more than anything is their prejudices. If you hate a group of people, other people who also hate that group will call you brother and love you more than they love their non-racist family.
We live in a world that says wrong is right and right is wrong!!!! You make so much sense in what you are saying because rather someone agrees with you or if he or she doesn’t!!, it makes a HELL OF LOT OF SENSE TO ME!!!
Great broadcast.... he is saying what I'm thinking... they cannot compete on a level playing field....
Not at all (shakes her head).
I want to echo what pyscez93 said. I agree more than 100%. I truly understand that living in the U.S. is truly living behind enemy lines. That is exactly why I spent 3 decades in the U.S. Army as a Special Forces Commander (aka - Green Beret). I learned so much about so many things. I was trained as a Sniper and explosive expert, and so many other things. I learned to speak, read, and write 3 different languages. I graduated summa cum laude from a major University and I became a commissioned Officer in the U.S. armed forces. I also attended the U.S. Army War College in the state of Pennsylvania together with a whole host of other schools and training. I was deployed in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan for the last 9 years of my military career and I learned so much in those combat zones. I have exemplary transferable leadership and training skills. The only reason I joined the military and the Special Forces is because I knew I needed a deadly skill set to defend myself here in the U.S. because I understand precisely and clearly…I am living every day behind enemy lines and these white folk are showing every black person every day, and all day that they have dominion over black folk. I don’t care about other groups of color because the black person’s experience in the United States is unique to black folk here in the U.S. I do not include other black folk from other places either because their experience in the U.S. is not the same because their culture and their trauma is different…it’s not the same as the black folk who has an ancestral connection here in the U.S. By the way, there will be no hate crime charges leveled against the shooter in Buffalo. Hate crime charges are never brought at the state level under the respective state’s hate crime laws…if they even have those laws in the state…because there is no crimes that has ever been committed by whites against blacks…no matter the optics that will ever warrants a hate crime charge brought by the State. In the immortal words of the singer and performer, Michael Jackson, “They don’t really care about us”
That's great commentary Sir 👍👍👍👍💯
There's no swift accountability. The system protects way too many of those who do these massive incidents that don't take lives into account and it's been an issue for years. Because they know they can not be disciplined to an impactful degree nor do they care.
They need to be made an example of so others can be shown there's no cushy relief they can have behind paroles or pleaded insanity that they love to use for the crutch. No life in jail. No time in an institution for mental care, enough is enough.
I waiting to see how the sports teams handle this. If they respond the correct way, the fans are gonna start telling on themselves. Im old enough to remember when Kap was playing the Bills and not only chanted “USA!” at him, ppl were selling T-Shirts of him being aimed at by a sniper scope.
AMEN BROTHER YOU ARE RIGHT ON POINT. THANK GOD FOR YOU SHARING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DEVIL'S IN THIS WORLD.
You definitely said if Trash K gets off. We will see a up raise in this kind of crime. People minding their business get gun down at a grocery store by an individual that should have been aborted.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
For someone who is so young, my young brother you're extremely brilliant!!
Thank God cause y’all definitely dropped the ball
First, my prayers go out to the families. friends, and the community of those who were affected by this act of pure hate and terror. Calvin, I appreciate your commentary and agree with your take on this. I would also like for more African American men and women to address crimes in the black community perpetrated by our own. I feel it does not get the attention it deserves. On a local level, I have helped with organizing neighborhood watch programs, but it seems crime of all sorts is out of control in our community. There should be just as much outrage when there is a drive-by shooting as this, in my opinion.
Yeah, but where is our anti discrimination law? They made sure to pass laws to protect AAPI
omg you right!!! I completely forgot about that! i mean they had hotline set up with a month of seeing all the chaos against AAPI
We. Literally. Dont. Bother. Anyone. Why. Do. They. Hate. Us. So. Much.
Our excellence is the kryptonite for the neanderthugs' fragile mediocrity.
Why you acting shocked and surprised is the question I got
Because they are demons..demons hate to just hate.
Their money can’t bring these people back . These people didn’t seem to have a lifestyle of millionaires yet this is all their families are going to receive the traditional condolences and 2.5 million to spilt amongst themselves. No counseling. By any chance start passings and utilizing a hate crime bill for targeting this community.inhuman treatment is outlawed for animals why not us.
As usual, I agree with you Calvin. I am upset that the person was so young, did he get this way from his family? It is how society helps with these mentally unstable people to feel he or any one, could plan out such an atrocity. My spirit was heavy today. I had to just go home and rest.
He said he got this way off 4chan, some website
He’s of sound mind and body… what it is is pure evil
Thank you soooo much for clearing up that “Latino” thing,I’ve been telling people that for yearsssss
Same!
That INTRO 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I Agree.
I've watched you for a while and would love to see you in politics. Keep up the good work
Nah politics is too dirty
@@CA-pp5nx You are so right and I really don't want him mixed up with that kind. But We need someone who is Better than what we have seen. And I'll support
I'm here Calvin...
Props to you and @ F.D SIGNIFIER (UA-cam) . For covering it.👏👏👏👏
They didn’t take it seriously because they didn’t want to infringe on his free speech rights. 🙄
It's because he went and did what he's supposed to do and what they've been doing to us. It's their way!
@@mamadouaziza2536 well? We see how WELL that went, didn’t we?
They always know they just don’t want it stopped.
My black people listen carefully:
You cannot stop a war with peace.
You cannot stop acts of violence by taking no action.
*You can stop a war by going to war.
*You can stop violence by creating "dreadful consequences" for those that perpetrate that violence.
You cannot change human hearts.
*You can change human actions.
A sitting duck is a sitting duck.
So, when will YOU choose to finally stand up?
Some fights/struggles cannot be avoided. (WE cannot avoid confrontation any longer.)
Those who are afraid and unwilling to prepare themselves for trouble will always find themselves in it.
Look around you and think about these things.
If you are waiting on this ws government to do anything for us, you will be waiting forever. You cannot ask those who enjoy being evil to execute righteousness. It is not in them to do what is good.
We've tried all other avenues. There is only but one course of action to take at this point. If you run, you will look behind you all your life and find no rest. It's time to stop running, my people, and finally face these demons..., TOGETHER. 🤝🤜🤛
Remember, there are different forms of warfare. Physical warfare may not be the best ootion because we are outnumbered, but there are ways... Ways I can't discuss here.
@@masterofkoin8428 We have a right to protect ourselves and protect ourselves we must. How long have we prayed to be delivered from an enemy who has repeatedly skipped down the yellow brick road? God won't do for us what we can do for ourselves. He will fight our battles only when we decide to get in the ring. Joshua didn't face imaginary giants. They were real and so was his sword. He was a man of God and David, a man after God's own heart. I am not saying to be foolish in engaging in war but to make sure there are consequences for our enemies to deter the things that keep happening. I know all about those other forms of warfare but they have not helped us in the past. So, what makes you think they will help us now? God will take you into the promised land but you have to put in the work both spiritually and physically. Believers forget that the time for the enemy to make war with the saints is upon us. Many are not ready for the reality that they will have to fight for their own lives. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." For he teaches my hands to fight and make war, my arms to bend the bow...I don't believe in starting trouble but I do believe in finishing it. We have to finally finish what has been started against us. Yes, both spiritually and also in the natural. Prayer and fasting is a must but so is courage and honor. G'day! 🙏
@@justify798 i was agreeing with you right up until you started praising the yt man God. There is no God. Pray all u want its useless. We are all just prople. There is no Man in the sky coming to save us. And any God who watch shit like this happen n do nothing is definately no God of mines
You always know how to eloquently express the rage so many of us feel
The demons are at it again
Love the commentary!!! First time here. I’ll definitely be subscribing!!!
Thank you brother for these words of wisdom 🙏 this is so true 👍
Brother it all comes down to a few words evil wicked people with entitlement issues which are all choices !!
I had never heard of you until I came across your video just now, but I am so very glad that I did! I'm a 62 year old black man who finds your message to be remarkably powerful, eloquent, timely, and succinct. You remind me of an activist I saw back in the mid '70s at The Black Theology Project held in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a mesmerizing speaker whose words, thoughts, and message flowed and kept the audience spellbound. You seem to be cut from the same cloth! Please keep up the good work. Power and peace to you, brother!
Great Content!! I like your break down.
Thank you very much my brother!!
