Z Z - How do you know that? Even though if you are true, how does that matter? How about listening and processing what he is saying rather than focusing on other things?
Dawn Oceanside sure he does dawn, thats when Trump went to Saudi Arabia he gave a firm handshake to the kanz Saud, but when traitor obama went there he BOWED like a BITCH and embarrassed EVERY AMERICAN. I happen to in a restaurant bar when it was replayed on the news. Half the people the BOO'D him. I wonder if he caught a ride there the night he flew 1.8 billion dollars in unmarked bills on pallets in a c-130 to Iran. Maybe the flight path went over Benghazi? Yes i bet it was a fast and furious meeting. Hell he could have stopped at the Russian bank John (pedo) Podesta's brother Tony was on the board at he could have dropped off some uranium for killary and picked up Bill (the rapist) Clinton from his 1/2 million dollar speech. I'm glad the military intelligence is helping Trump since our civilian branches are corrupt. Wait soon 50k sealed indictments will be sweeping the nation of this FILTH. Damn it people wake up. How can you even talk about the obama and his 1st man Micheal, sickens me.
Dr Evil he said “capable of answering *a* question” . Nerver fucking claimed that obama never blames anyone for anything or never mentions republicans. That would be stupid since there are times where people should be blamed and members of a prominent political party should be mentioned.
Dr Evil | Of course when Republicans block every bills he's trying to pass, at some point should he bring it up... but compare to the Republicans today who blame rain and wind on democrats, I think he is a huge step up.
OMG Obama loves to trash America, he hates America. Anytime he can paint himself as a victim he's going to trip all over himself to take advantage of it.
Billy Shears he didnt.. Well not completely, he said there were a couple of times he was pulled over without reason, why not elaborate? Because he didnt want to make police look bad.
Quit putting words in his mouth. He NEVER said "without reason", he said that the stops didn't necessarily go like MOST of the other stops. You Trump lovers only hear what you want to hear.
He certainly did *not* answer the question - By bringing up “sometimes” being pulled over and the cops being “not as courteous”, without providing any of the relevant details of these instances (plural) - thereby *refusing* to answer what we all know was the question which was actually being asked, here …… just sayin
+utube user Are you going to hold that against him? So how do you feel about Trump not admitting that Russia fooled with our last presidential election???
Is it "respectful" to collude with Hezbollah, a terrorist organization, against ISRAEL--- our ALLY? How many Israeli's were killed because of Obama? He needs to go to prison.
Mizz Lobster, you may have heard the saying that one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. Here is the list of those awarded the Nobel Peace Prize: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_Peace_Prize_laureates You will find names like Yasser Arafat & Nelson Mandela. Both branded as terrorists. And if the term existed in the 1770s, you would likewise see people like George Washington branded as terrorists as well. You might be aware that he was not exactly a model British subject. So we could lament "how many Brits were killed because of Washington". Or we could instead take a step back and gain some kind of awareness that every human being has strong similarities at the core of our being, with the way we care about our families and the way we care about our homes and the way we care about the air that we breathe. Even lobsters have concerns for their lives. Something to consider the next time you see one getting dunked into a pot of boiling water. If we take more than one step back, we might gain perspective that we are capable of showing respect toward _all_ sentient life. Jordan, these words are being offered to you too. If you were to make the effort to put yourself into her lobster shell for a moment, you might pause before dismissing anyone as "trash". It is understandable that the claws can seem scary. And a defensive reaction is very natural. But it is also the reaction that leads to the types of vicious cycles that lead to war. Maybe not here on a comment forum, but if you & she were to be leaders of different countries, then yeah. That's how wars happen. The lobsterbacks become targets because we feel that we've been wronged by them.
+Logic Lobster You know why people are never going to bother taking you seriously? Because you could not read and comprehend ONE sentence without going into a rant. OP was calling the guy in the cowboy hat the nicest, most respectful guy you'd ever wanna meet. But you could not continue reading the sentence because your tiny brain made you go into a rampage and type out a bunch of bullshit that you probably found on Alex Jones' website or Breitbart. Learn how to finish reading a statement, and if it's something that makes you mad, read it again to make sure you actually got it right. " I liked how he spoke to Barack." is not generally something you'd say if you were talking about Obama.
NICE GUYS --------->. FINISH LAST. What we need in a leader or President is the biggest asshole the universe has ever created. That chair needs strength.
That smacks of a psychological post association. He most likely is looking back with his current perception of how the world is now and placing the motives of some racists on that lady from 40 something years ago. If he is even recalling the situation as it was. Or he is brilliant(Harvard educated) and taught by Saul Alinsky and he knows the art of how to make friends and influence people. Finding a common ground by saying something about yourself that they can identify with and have empathy for you and they have taken the bait. Man this guy knows what it is like to be me. Obama is an elite intellectual. He has lived the life of Riley. He is the current cult of personality. That's the only transparency he has to offer. If you can see past the color of his skin.
To us conservatives, we actually understand the minorities struggles. Don't get me wrong Obama is a cool dude, just not the right guy at the right time for politics.
Its not this that made him anti cop its other times like with the hands up dont shoot stuff and the mike brown thug case were he condemed the cops before the facts were out thanks to him we are in the situation we are in with the people vs cops bs
Obama HAD to be VERY careful about whatever he said as any perceived mishap would've provoked a fury of outrage stoked by rightwing media......NOW we have a president who can insult, lie every time he opens his mouth, vacation and play golf half the time after promising he wouldn't vacation and play golf, avoid reading, have a general history of cheating and breaking the law, have a general history of cheating on his wives with porn stars, etc, etc.......The same people who claim Obama is the anti-Christ hardly blink at this.
MrZlathan3 ohh don't be a hater!! Trump is our god!! He is our savior. He's going to build a wall that will solve ALL of America's problems, and bring world peace. And Mexico's gonna pay for it, doesn't sound absurd at all! And hate tweets is what this country needs too! So you need to wake up!! Donald Trump the best human being ever!! 😡😡
You left out the part about sexually assaulting his wife (Ivana), fondling and groping women (numerous), being blatantly disrespectful with name calling (Rosie O'Donnell) and doing every other unforgiveable thing imaginable to degrade the office of president.
@THE NINJACAT.....And speaking of sexual assault, Trump has a total of 3 rape allegations against him. One of the women was supposedly 13 when he raped her.
I'm amused by some of the comments here. Racism is real folks. If you're tired of hearing about it, join the club. Those of us who love America are tired of seeing people think they're superior because of their skin color. If you don't like Black people, move!
+WSOX Man no one dislikes white people just because they are white. It's usually because us white people are generally the more racist of all the other races. Black, Hispanic, Asians, ect
Aaron Paul Spot on! I don't understand anyone who thinks they are inherently superior to another because of skin color. It's illogical. We should celebrate diversity not fear it.
Coming up next: How to avoid being shot when you're laying down on the ground with your hands in the air and your fingers spread while telling officers who are a great distance from you and behind the cover of a vehicle that you're just trying to help an autistic person holding a toy truck. Extra curricular assignment: Draw map on how to avoid being handcuffed after you've been shot
***** Well how it works is, you put one foot in front of the other, and then put the foot in the back in front of the other, and repeat until you reach your desired destination. That lesson's free (:
Exactly. This kkkountry is sick, they accept kkkops brutalizing and murdering unarmed kids, then they focus all of there energy on teaching the untrained non professional child how to act around the kkkops
I honestly don't know what is going on in the world when a man who has been shot, incapacitated and disarmed (assuming he was ever armed in the first place) needs to be cuffed so that an armed police officer feels safe. If I hadn't seen the video of that happening to Walter Scott, I would have argued that no human being would fail to provide first aid (or at least, comfort) to a dying man, much less would he cuff him. That was a dark moment of realization in my life.
Do you know how much better America has become? This stuff is getting acknowledged now. Before, it was way worse than this, and no one said a thing. And there’s no fear. It just sucks to be treated that way... or shot
The only time I’ve felt fear towards the police was when I was in my younger years when I was up to no good, now that I have an honest god fearing job and I walk a straight line my fears for the police have subsided.
I always take my walet out and put it on the dashboard when geting pulled over and I always show my CCW first thing and let my dashcam run in the background. Good advice for anyone black or white
When I was a police officer in Missouri, I knew that I could be shot at any traffic stop. I did not care what color you were, I approached the vehicle with caution. I wanted to see both hands. Cops who did not act in that manner wound up dead.
Joel T oh put myself in their shoes and they're out there killing anything that moves thats black,man get real, I'm guessing you never heard of the blue shield boys?
I had guns pulled out on me in front of Taco bell. Mistaking identity They said they receive a call about a black man in a Brown Lexus waving a gun!! I drove a gold Lexus and didn't have any guns in my car. 2007.
Double O. O. Witnesses are notoriously unreliable. Reporting a brown car that is actually gold or vice versa is totally believable. I can see why they made that mistake. Glad it turned out alright for you tho.
THAT IS WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE FOOLISH PULL OVER,,, WHERE IS THERE TRAINING....WHAT IS WRONG WITH THERE EYE SIGHT????? THANK GOD YOU ARE ALIVE....GOD BLESS YOU...
The problem is their are black males in this day and age who are unruly and disrespectful and who are being cuddled even when they've been found to be in the wrong...as a blackman I've been pulled over but acted respectful and was treated with respect by the police
careful, thoughtful wording and political correctness doesn't mean u r being forced to tell lies or don't have freedom of speech. it shows the intelligence and maturity and thoughtfulness to convey messages that help provide clarity, openness and peace, not war and anger
God how much we miss you sir I NOT A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN but this guy have a soul i serve in Iraq 🇮🇶 and Afghanistan i m 28 years old latino men i never felt so un american like i feel now i never have been worry on be latino from puerto rico 🇵🇷 until January 24 2017 THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT trump are racists and ignorant i have experience that racism my self i live in a southern state even though i don't look like most of Latinos do i still speak SPANISH and many white people when they hear someone speaking Spanish is like they see red i have many telling me to go back to my country I HAVE TO RESPOND I M from puerto ricoTHEY REPLAY BACK GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY i have to give them some history class and remind them that puerto rico is part of united states that the all people from puerto rico are American citizens that is not our fault that we are the only American territory where English is not the first language Spanish is IN 1899 after usa 🇺🇸 took PUERTO RICO FROM SPAIN they never felt to invest in a full English school program or even a bilingual program SO the majority of people that stay in the island they never learn english but those puerto rican Americans that move to mainland usa learn English Until 2000 some public schools became bilingual CORRECTION---they have bilingual schools in puerto rico. But the are private the majority of puerto RICANS doesn't have money to send their kids to private schools FOR THOSE RACIST IGNORANTS KNOW THIS PEOPLE IN PUERTO MY NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AS A FIRST LANGUAGE WE ARE PROUD TO BE AMERICANS SINCE 1899 PUERTO RICANS ARE BEEN PART OF EVERY USA WAR WE HAVE THE PUERTO RICO NATIONAL GUARD that has send many soldiers to Iraq Afghanistan Vietnam world war 1 world war 2 Korea war
I seriously doubt you served anywhere but maybe McDonald's with your grammar. The Majority of the Armed Forces also support Trump.The other reason why i think your lying is that,if your from Puerto Rico,which is a Territory of the United States,you are free to come here and live.Guess you didn't study that in school huh?Everything in the US is based on the English language,if your too lazy to learn English then you don't need to be here,but wait you complain in...ENGLISH ..were you lying about schools?Your ignorance seems to go far and wide,Maybe you should take a Civic's class and learn something instead of trying to play the victim.
Maxx Madd First of all, not because public schools in Puerto Rico don't teach the best English doesn't mean that Puerto Ricans raised in the Public school system haven't learn any english. Second, if he wants to come to the main land without speaking english HE CAN! We are Americans as any other person born in any of the 50 states. You are right that the US Goverment and they system runs in English but the USA doesn't have any official federal language, so don't come at him or any other Puerto Rican saying b.s. Just because we have a racist, crazy. mentally unstable person as the commander-in-chief doesn't give you the right to be racist against any of us. Thank you
If the Primary language used in all 50 states (not 57 like obama said)is English,then common sense would tell you to learn English,pretty simple.Also being from Puerto Rico does not make you an American Citizen,your part of a territory that America owns,though that can get a little muddled in the laws. By the way,the same doctor who took care of obama was also the same doctor that said bush was mentally fit to serve,or did you not see all that crap from last year?Also,everyone is racist...either by looks ,wealth or where you come from...it's a part of human nature..if you say your not racist,your lying.I'll hate whoever i want....not because of how they look,but the kind of actions they take.As a civilian i have been assaulted 12 times in my life..only 3 by white people the rest were either hispanic or black....never had a problem with asians though.Obama was just as much a racist as any president ,same goes with the congress...personally,i don't give a crap,i served my 17 years in the Military and pretty much live my own life the way i see fit....though i do have to pray for forgiveness every night for my thought's and feeling's but thats just how humans are,no one is perfect....but i do think people should at least obey the laws of the land your in and in General be nice to each other.Don't like the US?..go back home.
That is correct Hassan,They are a commonwealth of the US,not a state.Now if a Puerto Rican comes to the US and moves there they are granted Right's like other American's,like voting.If they choose to become a state 3/4 of all Perto Rican's most vote for it and the US congress has to ratify it.
My white friends got "tHe TaLk" too. Stop acting like a victim, cops have a dangerous job so just learning a few things that would make it safer for everyone involved is not that difficult. You probably the same person that doesn't wanna wear a mask during corona bc that's too much of a hassle.
the president can't just change the way people think. It's getting better though, time is the only thing that's going to help racism in this country. we still have generations of people who were brought up on hate. As time goes by these generations will die and so will thier hateful views.
+Wind possibly because he is half white if he'd look like Terry Cruz or Wesley Snipes we all know that would've been different and it would've taken two Trump types to overcome that feeling!
I think that politeness is the key. As a driver you can not become defensive, specially if you didn´t do anything wrong... but still some people react in a very rude way...
I find it interesting that the president stated there were a couple of times in his life where he was pulled over and it wasn't deserved, yet he chose not to elaborate as to what happened. Rather, he deflected to an entirely different story that had nothing to do with police interaction. To me, this means that he really hasn't ever had real conflict with police. I'm white, 39 years old and can think of 3 times where I was pulled over undeserved. All 3 of those times the police said I looked "suspicious". One of them, I was put in handcuffs in the back of the squad while they searched my vehicle. Another time I was given the drunk driving test. All 3 times turned out to be nothing more than a waste of time. I showed them respect and allowed them to do their jobs. They found nothing and I got back in the car and continued on my way.
@James S. You were pulled over by the police for WRONG reasons. Why are you justifying this? Looking 'suspicious' is a traffic crime? The problem is that white people are okay with UNJUSTIFIED police actions because they "got back in the car continued on my way." and don't usually end up in jail. But what about Jason Castle's experience as a black man driving a new car? Check this video out. ua-cam.com/video/se4aXahuGrw/v-deo.html
Bob Singhv All of those too. Police have pulled guns on me multiple times as well If you’re a black man and you live long enough you get the full buffet
Eric Johnson I’ve been stopped in my own driveway before. I live in a predominantly white neighborhood. Have been here for 27 years now. I was outside smoking a cig sitting down in my driveway and a cop drives by, looks at me, slams on the breaks, and backs up to my driveway, hops out and yells “why are you in this neighborhood in these peoples driveway”. She just assumed that the “people” who lived in this house were white and that I was up to no good. Not the only time I’ve been stopped in my own neighborhood though. Damn shame really. Also, before everyone says “why don’t you just move.” Why should I have to leave when I’ve done nothing wrong?
_-Delaware Scrap-_ Not quite the same story, but have been stopped in my neighborhood by police who said they had a call for a suspicious looking individual. My neighborhood is white as fuck. Large 2 acre parcels. I amazon a lot and bunch of stuff would go missing. I ended up putting up cams. Neighbors have tried to intimidate me when I moved in. One such incident became a brawl, which I won of course. People telling me to Move cause "I'm a terrorist." Because dude spun the story the other way even though he instigated shit. Later I stood my ground with my Beretta 92FS and no one dare to bother me today. I think it's high time all these old white folks start shifting to Montana or wherever the fuck they go. Never backdown or let your guard down with white folks or they will trample you.
I am a republican and I loved obama, he wasn't a bad president. The world didn't end, america is doing alright, he gets a 10 for coolness, a 7 on the war on terror, a 6 on the economy, and a 7.5 over all from me personally.
How about educating or rraining police officers to behave in a civilized manner - from what we saw, they were evidently bullies and abusive - and on top of that, they have the law and police & justice department behind their back - that is what infuriates people and instill hatred towards the law enforcers.
the justice department is run by a black person you dumb son-of-a-bitch. maybe it's just the fact that they don't like to be wrong and they don't want to be called out on it so they make up things like hands up don't shoot.
@Jesse Ting, I have personally seen and dealt with bully police officers, however. People need to check them selves as well and stop adding hatred fuel to the fire. Respect goes both ways.
@tatical1975.........["the justice department is run by a black person you dumb son-of-a-bitch"]..........WHAT!? And you have the nerve to call someone "dumb?' and get belligerent? Are you a cop? Eric Holder couldn't change the general character of the rank & file cop mentality who are currently 90% Trumpsters applauding Trump's suggestion to abuse suspects. When we have cases like Florida where the cops are called on an out of control white male and they decide to shoot the white male's black therapist who's laying on the street with his hands up explaining the situation to them we're dealing with an entrenched culture of sanctioned abuse and murder of minorities.
@Logic Lobster.......Now here we have the police called on a white mental patient who is uncooperative and has an object in his hand. Instead the police decide to shoot his black therapist who's laying in the street with his hands in the air, explaining the situation to the police. The police story that they were trying to kill the patient falls apart because when asked "why did you shoot me" a cop answers "I don't know." They also run up and handcuff the black therapist after shooting him while ignoring the white patient. Now you might say the black therapist must have been attempting to grab the 3 cop's sniper rifles from 20 yards away---I say this is a blatant example of cops pointlessly trying to kill a black man and points to the stated goal of various white supremacist groups to infiltrate law enforcement. Believe me, they don't intend to serve and protect blacks. The proximity of the white patient was probably the only thing that saved his life. ua-cam.com/video/hGGumdAs-2w/v-deo.html
This only happens to douche bags! Normal everyday people do not find these situations. If the police are shooting at you or thinking about shooting you then you are a loser.
I don’t know about Obama’s policies; I’m not an American, but this man projects such tremendous erudition. Everything he says is incredibly thought out. Every answer he gives tends to be the best possible answer out of a variety of possibilities. Donald Trump on the hand... where do I even begin? Let’s solve illegal immigration by building a wall and having Mexico pay for it? Brilliant plan, good job and not all stupid.
I'm white.. sort of. I worked in our Community College as Research Associate. My duties involved surveys and graduation rates, ECT. I went up and down stairs (floors - ground to 4) when I could or the elevator when I was tired. One day, I got on the elevator and there were 5 huge black football players form the University in there. I got startled seeing them, but stayed in and talked with them. I always asked what they felt about their teachers. In our case, if a student enrolled in the University, they are auto enrolled in the Community College and vice versa. It made it easier for students to take classes in both colleges. These giants liked the two-year academic teachers at the College because they were Professors, not graduate students like the University. Once a student passes the first two years of university, they are taught by Professors. Some of the professors worked at both institutions. Anyway, I gradually became unsurprised when I met giant male athletes on the elevator. Whatever their race or ethnicity, they were all courteous and would often ask me questions about how the statistics I used affected them and their dreams. I had to admit, with a smile, that the three groups in the Community College who had the greatest graduation rates were either Nursing, Technical students or athletes. The race with the highest graduation and fallout rates were our African-American students. They either left college in their first year, transferred or graduated. Their percentage that graduated or transferred to another college within six years was almost twice that of White, Asian, and Hispanic students. Just wanted folks to know. These young people worked hard and succeeded. Many of the African-American students that left were military members and their families.
@michael matthewsI guess you've never heard of 14 year old Emmit Till? He was murdered beaten and tortured because a white woman went home and told her husband she was afraid of him. I hate your ignorance it's truly embarrassing and you should know better.
+Bo Boo he had to, if he had responded with "yeah man i got pulled over and the cop beat the shit out of me fuck cops." That would be a very slippery slope for the president whos doing his best to unite and soothe racial tensions.
Courtesy is safer.. I'm white. I got pulled over on the interstate. The first thing I did was turn on an interior light so the officer could see Inside the car. I rested my hands on the top of the steering wheel. I didn't do it because I was afraid. I did it. because it must be stressful for law enforcement to approach a car at night. I didn't want to add to that. I think the video is a good public service. I wouldn't go to a frat party in flirty clothes and get drunk. It's not right for a boy to take sexual advantage of me but it is sure stupid of me to add to my risk it when I don't have to. By the same token, if backtalking an officer, refusing to follow instructions will make it more likely you will get shot by all means politely cooperate. And vote for politicians who support a clean police department.
Lets be honest i dont like the race card too cos i have family members who are half n half but all those killed have no weapons on them. They are instantly afraid because of what they are been thought about a different color. Bad cops will cover their own dirt just to justify their killing. What i always ask is why shot to kill and i was told by someone that her husband said(who is a cop) that is what they are been told to do. To shot and kill. Why was that white boy that when to the church and kill 9 people not shotted down?
Kevin Odom Police don’t shoot unarmed white people. And for young black males it’s not the police situation. There are many situations where we will stand out be see as different and treated differently
Kevin Odom and just like the guy said. His father is white and KNEW that his reality in being pulled will go differently from the reality of his son being pulled over, simply because of his skin color. You white people really think this is a made up thing don’t you. You have no idea. You guys really don’t live this life. Our realities are VERY DIFFERENT. It doesn’t matter if all parents have that talk with their kids, the pint is they get tested a certain why by some cops and that’s what’s not right.
Kevin Odom Our talk is not your talk. Our talk is how to stay alive when you've done absolutely nothing wrong. When you get stopped while walking. Stopped while riding a bike. Stopped for trying to break into your own car. Stopped for trying to break into your own house. When you are perceived a criminal for no other reason than your skin color. You have not experienced that.
+fay guled Duh , the ghetto property assessments- taxes are a fraction of what the more valued properties pay. Lack of Business taxes is also a major factor. You missed the point. The black communities have far more calls for police then other areas here in Chicago. They ain't happy with the service....get your own all black police force. Problem fixed. Right?
WSOX Man How would that actually work exactly? The police force is a government organization. It is not a private institution. You can't just "get your own". For that to happen you need to make Chicago its own country.
fay guled Come on now kid, I was being facetious. The black community couldn't afford it's own police force or any government service, on their own. How about all the blacks out of work, apply for the police force? Wait, you need a HS education.
WSOX Man No community can afford its own police force or any government services, what kind if a stupid idea is this? Being police officer in the US is the easiest thing you can do, 6 weeks training... No wonder it is so shit. There needs to be a police reform.
What a guy. All I know is my son will be a mixed race kid and I hope he grows up something like Obama. And for my daughters, look no further than Michelle. America must learn to love and forgive one another and start to act like Christians again.
I understand as the President, why Barack answered the question they way he did, but I don't care for how he danced around it the subject. The leader of the "free-world" had an opportunity to call out the boogie man and he didn't. Shame.
President Obama is right. The one thing we have to do as a community is respect one another. Even if the other person is disrespecting you and you know the other person is wrong. The one thing we must do is not react. Stop, listen, reflect, repeat to ensure understanding and then respond. The one thing especially when we feel disrespected we all like to react, but you know this escalates the situation. It is human nature and this is a human response that we must correct. It is not about being right or being wrong it is about living to see the next day.
We as white people also have to asoom that that the black person that we get into a tiff with in the club is not racist. Instead ask what the problem is and try to work it out without ever bringing race into the argument. There is nothing different between the races when it comes to our brains.
NO THE GUY IS NOT A COP HATER, THE VIDEO IS A HONEST VIDEO, TO HELP SOME OF US TO BE MORE CAUTIOUS WHEN THERE IS A PULL OVER....... BE READY WITH THEIR DOCUMENTS ON THE DASH BOARD... WHAT IS WRONG IN THAT?????
I'm a middle age woman. Who was taught something like this when pulled over instructions by my step father a retired cop. I also carry firearm. So I know to cover my ass. With any of these over trigger happy fear driven officers.
I think everyone needs to be respectful of police and I have even been threatened by them when driving as a white woman as well as my ex who was a white man working in delivery, but especially if you are likely to be profiled. It is sad that any children have to grow up with those experiences or learn to expect it. Coffey is a wonderful person.
Just a hypothetical. Let's say 13%(for example) of the population commits 50% of the murders. Would it be wrong to generalize for your own safety even though you may be an incorrect judgment?
I'm a white guy and I was almost tazed in VA when i dropped my license and reached down to pick it up while there was a cop on each side of my car looking in the window. I have no doubt that if I were black, I would have been tazed, if not shot.
Once I was pulled over in London at a road block . I was in a hurry so I handed my license quickly. The policeman was black. He said something like ' luckily you handed me your license without me asking.' Then he went on to do an insurance check on the car which was a company car. What did he mean by luckily.... I was in a suit, and spoke well etc. There was no reason to suspect that I was unlicensed or my vehicle was not insured. Some policemen are arseholes
Why do we assume this Mr. President? Assume that Cops are not nice? Because we have been raised and accustomed to Police treating us bad. Through movies and cartoons. I remember Police Officers wore a very peaceful Uniform. Now it’s blacked out. Looking more military. Let’s go back to Peace Officers. Defenders of the innocent until proven guilty. Let’s get more Officers involved in there communities. And let’s give the Officers the gear they need to help there communities.
All of us have to learn the proper protocol when we interact with our men in blue. That is true of blacks as well as whites. Their job is to keep us safe and l appreciate the risks they take to assure our safety.
Politics Willie Nelson Has 3 Blunt Words For Republicans Angry Over Beto O'Rourke Support Willie Nelson didn’t mince words when asked about a conservative backlash over his support for Beto O’Rourke, the Democratic congressman from Texas now running for Senate. Asked on “The View” about the angry comments, the county music legend had just three words for his critics. “I don’t care,” the 85-year-old native Texan said. “I don’t care. They’re entitled to their opinion, and I’m entitled to mine.”
amazing to see a president who pauses before he speaks because he's thinking.
mrchoochoohead sooo refreshing.
What a polite way of saying that he has bad verbal skills 😂
Z Z - How do you know that? Even though if you are true, how does that matter? How about listening and processing what he is saying rather than focusing on other things?
Yes a true criminal.
Dawn Oceanside sure he does dawn, thats when Trump went to Saudi Arabia he gave a firm handshake to the kanz Saud, but when traitor obama went there he BOWED like a BITCH and embarrassed EVERY AMERICAN. I happen to in a restaurant bar when it was replayed on the news. Half the people the BOO'D him. I wonder if he caught a ride there the night he flew 1.8 billion dollars in unmarked bills on pallets in a c-130 to Iran. Maybe the flight path went over Benghazi? Yes i bet it was a fast and furious meeting. Hell he could have stopped at the Russian bank John (pedo) Podesta's brother Tony was on the board at he could have dropped off some uranium for killary and picked up Bill (the rapist) Clinton from his 1/2 million dollar speech. I'm glad the military intelligence is helping Trump since our civilian branches are corrupt. Wait soon 50k sealed indictments will be sweeping the nation of this FILTH. Damn it people wake up. How can you even talk about the obama and his 1st man Micheal, sickens me.
Its amazing how this president is capable of answering a question without blaming or bringing up any Republican.
Dr Evil he said “capable of answering *a* question” . Nerver fucking claimed that obama never blames anyone for anything or never mentions republicans. That would be stupid since there are times where people should be blamed and members of a prominent political party should be mentioned.
Dr Evil | Of course when Republicans block every bills he's trying to pass, at some point should he bring it up... but compare to the Republicans today who blame rain and wind on democrats, I think he is a huge step up.
OMG Obama loves to trash America, he hates America. Anytime he can paint himself as a victim he's going to trip all over himself to take advantage of it.
How refreshing it is, especially during this election cycle, to listen to someone actually answer the question being asked.
Billy Shears he didnt.. Well not completely, he said there were a couple of times he was pulled over without reason, why not elaborate? Because he didnt want to make police look bad.
Quit putting words in his mouth. He NEVER said "without reason", he said that the stops didn't necessarily go like MOST of the other stops. You Trump lovers only hear what you want to hear.
He's a master orator, story teller, and diplomat.
He certainly did *not* answer the question - By bringing up “sometimes” being pulled over and the cops being “not as courteous”, without providing any of the relevant details of these instances (plural) - thereby *refusing* to answer what we all know was the question which was actually being asked, here …… just sayin

Are you going to hold that against him? So how do you feel about Trump not admitting that Russia fooled with our last presidential election???
The nicest most respectful guy you'd ever wanna meet. I liked how he spoke to Barack.
Is it "respectful" to collude with Hezbollah, a terrorist organization, against ISRAEL--- our ALLY? How many Israeli's were killed because of Obama?
He needs to go to prison.
Mizz Lobster, you may have heard the saying that one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. Here is the list of those awarded the Nobel Peace Prize: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_Peace_Prize_laureates
You will find names like Yasser Arafat & Nelson Mandela. Both branded as terrorists. And if the term existed in the 1770s, you would likewise see people like George Washington branded as terrorists as well. You might be aware that he was not exactly a model British subject.
So we could lament "how many Brits were killed because of Washington". Or we could instead take a step back and gain some kind of awareness that every human being has strong similarities at the core of our being, with the way we care about our families and the way we care about our homes and the way we care about the air that we breathe.
Even lobsters have concerns for their lives. Something to consider the next time you see one getting dunked into a pot of boiling water. If we take more than one step back, we might gain perspective that we are capable of showing respect toward _all_ sentient life.
Jordan, these words are being offered to you too. If you were to make the effort to put yourself into her lobster shell for a moment, you might pause before dismissing anyone as "trash". It is understandable that the claws can seem scary. And a defensive reaction is very natural. But it is also the reaction that leads to the types of vicious cycles that lead to war. Maybe not here on a comment forum, but if you & she were to be leaders of different countries, then yeah. That's how wars happen. The lobsterbacks become targets because we feel that we've been wronged by them.
+Logic Lobster You know why people are never going to bother taking you seriously? Because you could not read and comprehend ONE sentence without going into a rant. OP was calling the guy in the cowboy hat the nicest, most respectful guy you'd ever wanna meet. But you could not continue reading the sentence because your tiny brain made you go into a rampage and type out a bunch of bullshit that you probably found on Alex Jones' website or Breitbart. Learn how to finish reading a statement, and if it's something that makes you mad, read it again to make sure you actually got it right.
" I liked how he spoke to Barack." is not generally something you'd say if you were talking about Obama.
Tuck Buckford!
NICE GUYS --------->. FINISH LAST. What we need in a leader or President is the biggest asshole the universe has ever created. That chair needs strength.
I sure miss having a intelligent well spoken presidential guy in the oval office.
Facts
When he talked about the elevator and how the women didn't want to get on with him I bet she had no idea that, that little boy will be the president.
I bet it didn't happen and he made it up
I think we can say with confidence she definitely had no idea.
You don't think people acted like that towards black people lol
That smacks of a psychological post association. He most likely is looking back with his current perception of how the world is now and placing the motives of some racists on that lady from 40 something years ago. If he is even recalling the situation as it was. Or he is brilliant(Harvard educated) and taught by Saul Alinsky and he knows the art of how to make friends and influence people. Finding a common ground by saying something about yourself that they can identify with and have empathy for you and they have taken the bait. Man this guy knows what it is like to be me. Obama is an elite intellectual. He has lived the life of Riley. He is the current cult of personality. That's the only transparency he has to offer. If you can see past the color of his skin.
Story was b.s.
Conservatives would hear this and still call him cop hater thug or something.
Sir Cullars Ikr
To us conservatives, we actually understand the minorities struggles. Don't get me wrong Obama is a cool dude, just not the right guy at the right time for politics.
@Gloomful.......["Obama is a cool dude, just not the right guy at the right time for politics"].........And Trump?
Its not this that made him anti cop its other times like with the hands up dont shoot stuff and the mike brown thug case were he condemed the cops before the facts were out thanks to him we are in the situation we are in with the people vs cops bs
he is a thug
He's being soooo careful with his comments here. I wish he could be a bit more relentless in his honesty here.
Obama HAD to be VERY careful about whatever he said as any perceived mishap would've provoked a fury of outrage stoked by rightwing media......NOW we have a president who can insult, lie every time he opens his mouth, vacation and play golf half the time after promising he wouldn't vacation and play golf, avoid reading, have a general history of cheating and breaking the law, have a general history of cheating on his wives with porn stars, etc, etc.......The same people who claim Obama is the anti-Christ hardly blink at this.
MrZlathan3 ohh don't be a hater!! Trump is our god!! He is our savior. He's going to build a wall that will solve ALL of America's problems, and bring world peace. And Mexico's gonna pay for it, doesn't sound absurd at all! And hate tweets is what this country needs too! So you need to wake up!! Donald Trump the best human being ever!! 😡😡
You left out the part about sexually assaulting his wife (Ivana), fondling and groping women (numerous), being blatantly disrespectful with name calling (Rosie O'Donnell) and doing every other unforgiveable thing imaginable to degrade the office of president.
are you serious? you lost me when you declared him a deity!
@THE NINJACAT.....And speaking of sexual assault, Trump has a total of 3 rape allegations against him. One of the women was supposedly 13 when he raped her.
I'm amused by some of the comments here. Racism is real folks. If you're tired of hearing about it, join the club. Those of us who love America are tired of seeing people think they're superior because of their skin color. If you don't like Black people, move!
All blacks look alike, right? ...Helloks nothing like president Obama. lol
And if you don't like White people? Dumb post kid
WSOX Man I was responding to an ignorant comment. It ssems like this person deleted his or her comment.
+WSOX Man no one dislikes white people just because they are white. It's usually because us white people are generally the more racist of all the other races. Black, Hispanic, Asians, ect
Aaron Paul Spot on! I don't understand anyone who thinks they are inherently superior to another because of skin color. It's illogical. We should celebrate diversity not fear it.
This country singer looks exactly like Don Lemon
Why cuz he wears a Cowboy hat?
He surely does

Coming up next:
How to avoid being shot when you're laying down on the ground with your hands in the air and your fingers spread while telling officers who are a great distance from you and behind the cover of a vehicle that you're just trying to help an autistic person holding a toy truck.
Extra curricular assignment:
Draw map on how to avoid being handcuffed after you've been shot
***** Well how it works is, you put one foot in front of the other, and then put the foot in the back in front of the other, and repeat until you reach your desired destination.
That lesson's free (:
***** Well that's certainly not cool, but I have a hard time believing you were mugged *because* you were white....insensitive as that may come off.
zlistcelebrity..Nice one
Exactly. This kkkountry is sick, they accept kkkops brutalizing and murdering unarmed kids, then they focus all of there energy on teaching the untrained non professional child how to act around the kkkops
I honestly don't know what is going on in the world when a man who has been shot, incapacitated and disarmed (assuming he was ever armed in the first place) needs to be cuffed so that an armed police officer feels safe. If I hadn't seen the video of that happening to Walter Scott, I would have argued that no human being would fail to provide first aid (or at least, comfort) to a dying man, much less would he cuff him. That was a dark moment of realization in my life.
What a sad place America has become when you have to fear the police
Do you know how much better America has become? This stuff is getting acknowledged now. Before, it was way worse than this, and no one said a thing. And there’s no fear. It just sucks to be treated that way... or shot
Roger Wynne, just obey the law. You are not above it.
The only time I’ve felt fear towards the police was when I was in my younger years when I was up to no good, now that I have an honest god fearing job and I walk a straight line my fears for the police have subsided.
I always take my walet out and put it on the dashboard when geting pulled over and I always show my CCW first thing and let my dashcam run in the background. Good advice for anyone black or white
If the police are that scared why are they on the force,and what kind of training are they receiving down there at that damn academy?
When I was a police officer in Missouri, I knew that I could be shot at any traffic stop. I did not care what color you were, I approached the vehicle with caution. I wanted to see both hands. Cops who did not act in that manner wound up dead.
They’re not scared, they just don’t want to die. They acknowledge the risks when they go into that profession, but nobody intends to die.
^in reference to police officers on traffic stops. Not a depression related thing, a very real issue for police and millions of others americans
Joel T oh put myself in their shoes and they're out there killing anything that moves thats black,man get real, I'm guessing you never heard of the blue shield boys?
Joel T You might want to put yourself in any black man's shoes or any person of color shoes.
I had guns pulled out on me in front of Taco bell. Mistaking identity They said they receive a call about a black man in a Brown Lexus waving a gun!! I drove a gold Lexus and didn't have any guns in my car. 2007.
Double O. O. Witnesses are notoriously unreliable. Reporting a brown car that is actually gold or vice versa is totally believable. I can see why they made that mistake. Glad it turned out alright for you tho.
THAT IS WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE FOOLISH PULL OVER,,, WHERE IS THERE TRAINING....WHAT IS WRONG WITH THERE EYE SIGHT????? THANK GOD YOU ARE ALIVE....GOD BLESS YOU...
well if you dont act like an idiot theres no problem
Double O. O. Oh shit That bad
Liban Ahmed Unfortunately just about every male in my family has had an experience like that. "This is America ".
The problem is their are black males in this day and age who are unruly and disrespectful and who are being cuddled even when they've been found to be in the wrong...as a blackman I've been pulled over but acted respectful and was treated with respect by the police
don lemons brother
Twin brother even.
DANIEL OMING SR lmao
He is Don Lemon. Fake news.
The police are trained to protect themselves first and foremost.
Oh how I miss him, his wisdom, and his leadership.
What a maroon!
careful, thoughtful wording and political correctness doesn't mean u r being forced to tell lies or don't have freedom of speech. it shows the intelligence and maturity and thoughtfulness to convey messages that help provide clarity, openness and peace, not war and anger
God how much we miss you sir I NOT A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN but this guy have a soul i serve in Iraq 🇮🇶 and Afghanistan i m 28 years old latino men i never felt so un american like i feel now i never have been worry on be latino from puerto rico 🇵🇷 until January 24 2017
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT trump are racists and ignorant i have experience that racism my self i live in a southern state even though i don't look like most of Latinos do i still speak SPANISH and many white people when they hear someone speaking Spanish is like they see red i have many telling me to go back to my country I HAVE TO RESPOND I M from puerto ricoTHEY REPLAY BACK GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY i have to give them some history class and remind them that puerto rico is part of united states that the all people from puerto rico are American citizens that is not our fault that we are the only American territory where English is not the first language Spanish is
IN 1899 after usa 🇺🇸 took PUERTO RICO FROM SPAIN they never felt to invest in a full English school program or even a bilingual program SO the majority of people that stay in the island they never learn english but those puerto rican Americans that move to mainland usa learn English
Until 2000 some public schools became bilingual
CORRECTION---they have bilingual schools in puerto rico. But the are private the majority of puerto RICANS doesn't have money to send their kids to private schools
FOR THOSE RACIST IGNORANTS KNOW THIS PEOPLE IN PUERTO MY NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AS A FIRST LANGUAGE WE ARE PROUD TO BE AMERICANS SINCE 1899 PUERTO RICANS ARE BEEN PART OF EVERY USA WAR WE HAVE THE PUERTO RICO NATIONAL GUARD that has send many soldiers to Iraq Afghanistan Vietnam world war 1 world war 2 Korea war
I seriously doubt you served anywhere but maybe McDonald's with your grammar. The Majority of the Armed Forces also support Trump.The other reason why i think your lying is that,if your from Puerto Rico,which is a Territory of the United States,you are free to come here and live.Guess you didn't study that in school huh?Everything in the US is based on the English language,if your too lazy to learn English then you don't need to be here,but wait you complain in...ENGLISH ..were you lying about schools?Your ignorance seems to go far and wide,Maybe you should take a Civic's class and learn something instead of trying to play the victim.
Maxx Madd First of all, not because public schools in Puerto Rico don't teach the best English doesn't mean that Puerto Ricans raised in the Public school system haven't learn any english. Second, if he wants to come to the main land without speaking english HE CAN! We are Americans as any other person born in any of the 50 states. You are right that the US Goverment and they system runs in English but the USA doesn't have any official federal language, so don't come at him or any other Puerto Rican saying b.s. Just because we have a racist, crazy. mentally unstable person as the commander-in-chief doesn't give you the right to be racist against any of us. Thank you
If the Primary language used in all 50 states (not 57 like obama said)is English,then common sense would tell you to learn English,pretty simple.Also being from Puerto Rico does not make you an American Citizen,your part of a territory that America owns,though that can get a little muddled in the laws.
By the way,the same doctor who took care of obama was also the same doctor that said bush was mentally fit to serve,or did you not see all that crap from last year?Also,everyone is racist...either by looks ,wealth or where you come from...it's a part of human nature..if you say your not racist,your lying.I'll hate whoever i want....not because of how they look,but the kind of actions they take.As a civilian i have been assaulted 12 times in my life..only 3 by white people the rest were either hispanic or black....never had a problem with asians though.Obama was just as much a racist as any president ,same goes with the congress...personally,i don't give a crap,i served my 17 years in the Military and pretty much live my own life the way i see fit....though i do have to pray for forgiveness every night for my thought's and feeling's but thats just how humans are,no one is perfect....but i do think people should at least obey the laws of the land your in and in General be nice to each other.Don't like the US?..go back home.
That is correct Hassan,They are a commonwealth of the US,not a state.Now if a Puerto Rican comes to the US and moves there they are granted Right's like other American's,like voting.If they choose to become a state 3/4 of all Perto Rican's most vote for it and the US congress has to ratify it.
@@morgangrey4020 Maybe he learned English here in the US DUMBFUCK
It's white privilege to ask why people need "the talk" before getting pulled over
My white friends got "tHe TaLk" too. Stop acting like a victim, cops have a dangerous job so just learning a few things that would make it safer for everyone involved is not that difficult. You probably the same person that doesn't wanna wear a mask during corona bc that's too much of a hassle.
even the president sees it and still nothing is done wow welcome ro America.
+Edit editor so by that logic we should not be scared of trump right? balance and checks
the president can't just change the way people think. It's getting better though, time is the only thing that's going to help racism in this country. we still have generations of people who were brought up on hate. As time goes by these generations will die and so will thier hateful views.
I honestly think that since he became president it made our racism issuse worse, because it angered people to see a color in the whitehouse
+Wind possibly because he is half white
if he'd look like Terry Cruz or Wesley Snipes we all know that would've been different and it would've taken two Trump types to overcome that feeling!
I think that politeness is the key. As a driver you can not become defensive, specially if you didn´t do anything wrong... but still some people react in a very rude way...
I find it interesting that the president stated there were a couple of times in his life where he was pulled over and it wasn't deserved, yet he chose not to elaborate as to what happened. Rather, he deflected to an entirely different story that had nothing to do with police interaction. To me, this means that he really hasn't ever had real conflict with police. I'm white, 39 years old and can think of 3 times where I was pulled over undeserved. All 3 of those times the police said I looked "suspicious". One of them, I was put in handcuffs in the back of the squad while they searched my vehicle. Another time I was given the drunk driving test. All 3 times turned out to be nothing more than a waste of time. I showed them respect and allowed them to do their jobs. They found nothing and I got back in the car and continued on my way.
@James S. You were pulled over by the police for WRONG reasons. Why are you justifying this? Looking 'suspicious' is a traffic crime? The problem is that white people are okay with UNJUSTIFIED police actions because they "got back in the car continued on my way." and don't usually end up in jail. But what about Jason Castle's experience as a black man driving a new car? Check this video out. ua-cam.com/video/se4aXahuGrw/v-deo.html
Elevator thing happened to me too. So did the car door locking thing
Eric Johnson
What about purse adjusting? Crossing the street, and following you around stores?
Bob Singhv All of those too. Police have pulled guns on me multiple times as well If you’re a black man and you live long enough you get the full buffet
Eric Johnson
I got about 1/2 the buffet being Sikh American. So I understand your pain.
Eric Johnson I’ve been stopped in my own driveway before. I live in a predominantly white neighborhood. Have been here for 27 years now. I was outside smoking a cig sitting down in my driveway and a cop drives by, looks at me, slams on the breaks, and backs up to my driveway, hops out and yells “why are you in this neighborhood in these peoples driveway”. She just assumed that the “people” who lived in this house were white and that I was up to no good. Not the only time I’ve been stopped in my own neighborhood though. Damn shame really.
Also, before everyone says “why don’t you just move.” Why should I have to leave when I’ve done nothing wrong?
_-Delaware Scrap-_
Not quite the same story, but have been stopped in my neighborhood by police who said they had a call for a suspicious looking individual.
My neighborhood is white as fuck. Large 2 acre parcels.
I amazon a lot and bunch of stuff would go missing. I ended up putting up cams.
Neighbors have tried to intimidate me when I moved in. One such incident became a brawl, which I won of course. People telling me to
Move cause "I'm a terrorist." Because dude spun the story the other way even though he instigated shit.
Later I stood my ground with my Beretta 92FS and no one dare to bother me today. I think it's high time all these old white folks start shifting to Montana or wherever the fuck they go.
Never backdown or let your guard down with white folks or they will trample you.
I remember having this talk with my father back 2005.
I am a republican and I loved obama, he wasn't a bad president. The world didn't end, america is doing alright, he gets a 10 for coolness, a 7 on the war on terror, a 6 on the economy, and a 7.5 over all from me personally.
As a black man from another part of the world, one cannot help but feel bad for my people in the US.
chris rock has an excellent video on how to handle police interactions.
How about educating or rraining police officers to behave in a civilized manner - from what we saw, they were evidently bullies and abusive - and on top of that, they have the law and police & justice department behind their back - that is what infuriates people and instill hatred towards the law enforcers.
the justice department is run by a black person you dumb son-of-a-bitch. maybe it's just the fact that they don't like to be wrong and they don't want to be called out on it so they make up things like hands up don't shoot.
@Jesse Ting, I have personally seen and dealt with bully police officers, however. People need to check them selves as well and stop adding hatred fuel to the fire. Respect goes both ways.
roland martin
@tatical1975.........["the justice department is run by a black person you dumb son-of-a-bitch"]..........WHAT!? And you have the nerve to call someone "dumb?' and get belligerent? Are you a cop? Eric Holder couldn't change the general character of the rank & file cop mentality who are currently 90% Trumpsters applauding Trump's suggestion to abuse suspects. When we have cases like Florida where the cops are called on an out of control white male and they decide to shoot the white male's black therapist who's laying on the street with his hands up explaining the situation to them we're dealing with an entrenched culture of sanctioned abuse and murder of minorities.
@Logic Lobster.......Now here we have the police called on a white mental patient who is uncooperative and has an object in his hand. Instead the police decide to shoot his black therapist who's laying in the street with his hands in the air, explaining the situation to the police. The police story that they were trying to kill the patient falls apart because when asked "why did you shoot me" a cop answers "I don't know." They also run up and handcuff the black therapist after shooting him while ignoring the white patient. Now you might say the black therapist must have been attempting to grab the 3 cop's sniper rifles from 20 yards away---I say this is a blatant example of cops pointlessly trying to kill a black man and points to the stated goal of various white supremacist groups to infiltrate law enforcement. Believe me, they don't intend to serve and protect blacks. The proximity of the white patient was probably the only thing that saved his life. ua-cam.com/video/hGGumdAs-2w/v-deo.html

When America used to have a president who thought and chose his words wisely before letting them out
His father knew racism existed so he made his son complicit in its existence, instead of confronting it they've bowed to it.
I don’t know about Obama’s policies; I’m not an American, but this man projects such tremendous erudition. Everything he says is incredibly thought out. Every answer he gives tends to be the best possible answer out of a variety of possibilities.
Donald Trump on the hand... where do I even begin? Let’s solve illegal immigration by building a wall and having Mexico pay for it? Brilliant plan, good job and not all stupid.
Obama, you certainly changed the subject.
I LOVE the Police when they do their JOB. Only.
As an autistic person a few days before I got my drivers license me and my mom actually practiced getting pulled over and I found it very helpful.
Imagine living in a country like that? Good grief.
Tbh i love barack but he dodged that q he didnt really give his opinion on it 2 sides to the story and then just said lets get better guys.
He was a president for the people not just one side
Trump take note, you should pause before you speak. And maybe something thoughtful or intelligent would be revealed. NOT!
Irrationally acting like a victim can provoke aggression in those who initially had no malign intentions.
I'm white.. sort of. I worked in our Community College as Research Associate. My duties involved surveys and graduation rates, ECT. I went up and down stairs (floors - ground to 4) when I could or the elevator when I was tired. One day, I got on the elevator and there were 5 huge black football players form the University in there. I got startled seeing them, but stayed in and talked with them. I always asked what they felt about their teachers. In our case, if a student enrolled in the University, they are auto enrolled in the Community College and vice versa. It made it easier for students to take classes in both colleges. These giants liked the two-year academic teachers at the College because they were Professors, not graduate students like the University. Once a student passes the first two years of university, they are taught by Professors. Some of the professors worked at both institutions. Anyway, I gradually became unsurprised when I met giant male athletes on the elevator. Whatever their race or ethnicity, they were all courteous and would often ask me questions about how the statistics I used affected them and their dreams. I had to admit, with a smile, that the three groups in the Community College who had the greatest graduation rates were either Nursing, Technical students or athletes. The race with the highest graduation and fallout rates were our African-American students. They either left college in their first year, transferred or graduated. Their percentage that graduated or transferred to another college within six years was almost twice that of White, Asian, and Hispanic students. Just wanted folks to know. These young people worked hard and succeeded. Many of the African-American students that left were military members and their families.
Keep up the good work. Greetings from East Africa (Uganda)😅
I don't know about his driving skills he wasn't squat as a president.
I think he made the story up.
Could you be any dumber? An overwhelming majority of black man have been stopped DWB.
@michael matthewsI guess you've never heard of 14 year old Emmit Till? He was murdered beaten and tortured because a white woman went home and told her husband she was afraid of him. I hate your ignorance it's truly embarrassing and you should know better.
@michael matthewsgood good let the truth be told!
I have the utmost respect for both Barack Obama and Coffey Anderson.
It's so weird seeing a US president be so calm, reassuring, and charming. It's like watching a Twilight Zone episode.
4:51 = "You gon' answer my question, ni***?"
slick willy
:) Sorry.
PS. Your right [hand has fingers].
don't know how I feel about the Presidents answer.
I feel he doesn't answer any questions ever he just does what he wants
if ur not a white privledged American u should be able to relate!
I relate to the guy asking the question however I don't understand the answer of the president. He sidestepped the question
+Bo Boo he had to, if he had responded with "yeah man i got pulled over and the cop beat the shit out of me fuck cops." That would be a very slippery slope for the president whos doing his best to unite and soothe racial tensions.
Ladie Bohiemia what do you mean.. Hes literally saying racism still exist not as bad but its still there. Thats How society is trained to be
Don Lemon has a straight brother that wears a cowboy hat!
Still my President of the United States of America....
What state did Obama fist get his drivers license in I wonder 🤔
You can't even spell first correctly!
Probably Illinois
Courtesy is safer.. I'm white. I got pulled over on the interstate. The first thing I did was turn on an interior light so the officer could see Inside the car. I rested my hands on the top of the steering wheel. I didn't do it because I was afraid. I did it. because it must be stressful for law enforcement to approach a car at night. I didn't want to add to that.
I think the video is a good public service. I wouldn't go to a frat party in flirty clothes and get drunk. It's not right for a boy to take sexual advantage of me but it is sure stupid of me to add to my risk it when I don't have to. By the same token, if backtalking an officer, refusing to follow instructions will make it more likely you will get shot by all means politely cooperate. And vote for politicians who support a clean police department.
Lets be honest i dont like the race card too cos i have family members who are half n half but all those killed have no weapons on them. They are instantly afraid because of what they are been thought about a different color. Bad cops will cover their own dirt just to justify their killing.
What i always ask is why shot to kill and i was told by someone that her husband said(who is a cop) that is what they are been told to do. To shot and kill. Why was that white boy that when to the church and kill 9 people not shotted down?
Why can't politicians simply answer questions directly. We don't need distracting stories. :/
Basically the lesson here is, learn more, stay aware, and don't generalize.
Every good parent has a talk w their kids no matter what color their kids are. Wtf
Kevin Odom Police don’t shoot unarmed white people. And for young black males it’s not the police situation. There are many situations where we will stand out be see as different and treated differently
You missed the whole point, all you heard was black mr odom
Kevin Odom and just like the guy said. His father is white and KNEW that his reality in being pulled will go differently from the reality of his son being pulled over, simply because of his skin color. You white people really think this is a made up thing don’t you. You have no idea. You guys really don’t live this life. Our realities are VERY DIFFERENT. It doesn’t matter if all parents have that talk with their kids, the pint is they get tested a certain why by some cops and that’s what’s not right.
Kevin Odom Our talk is not your talk. Our talk is how to stay alive when you've done absolutely nothing wrong. When you get stopped while walking. Stopped while riding a bike. Stopped for trying to break into your own car. Stopped for trying to break into your own house. When you are perceived a criminal for no other reason than your skin color. You have not experienced that.
Here is a solution. How about the Black communities get their very own police force. They can pay for them too!
They already pay for the once that are in the communities already. You know tax money goes to police officers pay right?

Duh , the ghetto property assessments- taxes are a fraction of what the more valued properties pay. Lack of Business taxes is also a major factor.
You missed the point. The black communities have far more calls for police then other areas here in Chicago.
They ain't happy with the service....get your own all black police force. Problem fixed. Right?
WSOX Man How would that actually work exactly? The police force is a government organization. It is not a private institution. You can't just "get your own". For that to happen you need to make Chicago its own country.
fay guled Come on now kid, I was being facetious. The black community couldn't afford it's own police force or any government service, on their own.
How about all the blacks out of work, apply for the police force? Wait, you need a HS education.
WSOX Man No community can afford its own police force or any government services, what kind if a stupid idea is this? Being police officer in the US is the easiest thing you can do, 6 weeks training... No wonder it is so shit. There needs to be a police reform.
You can't find more comfortable place to sit ,shiny day ,for President
What a guy. All I know is my son will be a mixed race kid and I hope he grows up something like Obama. And for my daughters, look no further than Michelle. America must learn to love and forgive one another and start to act like Christians again.
double talking
a whole lotta nothing. bs
According to you.
kick your ass sure would make this hard-on for kicking your ass go away
Kick your ass
That's because he speaks english, not 3rd grade trump speech.
Why is Don Lemon wearing a cowboy hat?
Hey, anyone who hasn't been pulled over hasn't been driving ...That guy is an all-hat victim
I understand as the President, why Barack answered the question they way he did, but I don't care for how he danced around it the subject. The leader of the "free-world" had an opportunity to call out the boogie man and he didn't. Shame.
That's the calmest group of people of color ever seen
“If people aren’t treating me right.. I tell them to put some respekt on my name”
is that off something?
If a Cop has that much anxiety towards Black drivers the job is not for them! What is this PIGmentation training?
Im just here to see Mr. Obama being smart. Miss seeing the President talking intelligently.
God damn Barry, that was a long answer to a simple question
President Obama is right. The one thing we have to do as a community is respect one another. Even if the other person is disrespecting you and you know the other person is wrong. The one thing we must do is not react. Stop, listen, reflect, repeat to ensure understanding and then respond. The one thing especially when we feel disrespected we all like to react, but you know this escalates the situation. It is human nature and this is a human response that we must correct. It is not about being right or being wrong it is about living to see the next day.
I think the word he was struggling for is "statistics".
We as white people also have to asoom that that the black person that we get into a tiff with in the club is not racist. Instead ask what the problem is and try to work it out without ever bringing race into the argument. There is nothing different between the races when it comes to our brains.
NO THE GUY IS NOT A COP HATER, THE VIDEO IS A HONEST VIDEO, TO HELP SOME OF US TO BE MORE CAUTIOUS WHEN THERE IS A PULL OVER....... BE READY WITH THEIR DOCUMENTS ON THE DASH BOARD... WHAT IS WRONG IN THAT?????
I'm a middle age woman. Who was taught something like this when pulled over instructions by my step father a retired cop. I also carry firearm. So I know to cover my ass. With any of these over trigger happy fear driven officers.
I think everyone needs to be respectful of police and I have even been threatened by them when driving as a white woman as well as my ex who was a white man working in delivery, but especially if you are likely to be profiled. It is sad that any children have to grow up with those experiences or learn to expect it. Coffey is a wonderful person.
Who else is on that Obama binge in 2020?
Just a hypothetical. Let's say 13%(for example) of the population commits 50% of the murders. Would it be wrong to generalize for your own safety even though you may be an incorrect judgment?
Significant difference in terms of eloquence between Obama and Trump.
Obama that was a spineless response..
EVERYONE has been pulled over.......what's the big deal ?
My name is, who my name is, huh, my name is Frank Marshall Davis Jr.
I'm a white guy and I was almost tazed in VA when i dropped my license and reached down to pick it up while there was a cop on each side of my car looking in the window. I have no doubt that if I were black, I would have been tazed, if not shot.
Once I was pulled over in London at a road block . I was in a hurry so I handed my license quickly. The policeman was black. He said something like ' luckily you handed me your license without me asking.' Then he went on to do an insurance check on the car which was a company car.
What did he mean by luckily....
I was in a suit, and spoke well etc. There was no reason to suspect that I was unlicensed or my vehicle was not insured. Some policemen are arseholes
Why do we assume this Mr. President? Assume that Cops are not nice? Because we have been raised and accustomed to Police treating us bad. Through movies and cartoons. I remember Police Officers wore a very peaceful Uniform. Now it’s blacked out. Looking more military. Let’s go back to Peace Officers. Defenders of the innocent until proven guilty. Let’s get more Officers involved in there communities. And let’s give the Officers the gear they need to help there communities.
He didn't get pulled over too often because the passenger gives the road head
So basically if you're black don't have your ID in your wallet/back pocket ✔️
All of us have to learn the proper protocol when we interact with our men in blue. That is true of blacks as well as whites. Their job is to keep us safe and l appreciate the risks they take to assure our safety.
Listening to this cured my insomnia.

Willie Nelson Has 3 Blunt Words For Republicans Angry Over Beto O'Rourke Support
Willie Nelson didn’t mince words when asked about a conservative backlash over his support for Beto O’Rourke, the Democratic congressman from Texas now running for Senate.
Asked on “The View” about the angry comments, the county music legend had just three words for his critics.
“I don’t care,” the 85-year-old native Texan said. “I don’t care. They’re entitled to their opinion, and I’m entitled to mine.”
I'm white and that's exactly what I do when the cops pulls me over
God I miss him.
