- The shooting of Ralph Yarl, the Black teenager who authorities say was shot by an 84-year-old White homeowner after going to the wrong house, prompted CNN Correspondent Omar Jimenez to reveal the safety precautions he takes as a Black journalist.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Im gay but i dont go everyday playing victim to everyone just to get their sympathy. GROW UP.
Ok
I’m assuming by this comment you are GAY AND WHITE! The first thing people see when they look at you is the color of your skin and since you pass your opinion means nothing! Our discriminations are completely different!! A black 16 year old was shot in the head through a glass door for ringing the wrong doorbell, you mean to tell me his skin color had nothing to do it? When the white man stated “HE WAS SCARED FOR HIS LIFE”. This boy is 5’4 and doesn’t weigh more than 150lbs! Scared my asssssssssss
Look at Chicago last weekend and ask yourself, Do I want to hire those ppl?
I can’t believe people actually think this is real.
Brainwashing ignorant BLISS
another juicy smolyay right here, people
CNN sure isn’t colourblind . They make sure to highlight race every chance they get
I didn’t even know Candace Owen was black until cnn told me.
CNN will never admit this has nothing to do with skin color. The reason I know that is because a white woman named Kaylin Gillis was just shot and killed this morning for going to the wrong house with her friend gave her the wrong address.
Absolutely disgusting - and it never ends
No kidding it's getting old lol
Racism in this country is a fact affecting the lives of black and brown people in many negative ways. We have recently heard leaked audio from law enforcement and state legislators expressing their racist views. These people are in positions of power and able to severely disrupt peoples lives. Talking about what exist is an opportunity to identify it and make changes. Change needs to happen.
Come now ...What college did you attend ... I perhaps couldn't afford.... What position that I wouldnt have been able to get .... Maybe CNN should talk with Lawrence Jones or any reporter like the Asian reporter ANDY NGO who was nearly blinded in the Seattle ANTIFA riots of 2020
Imagine living your entire life as a victim?
Unfortunately, it's usually the bad stuff that gets the most attention. I've directly experienced racism, but the cream always rises to the top. So I don't consider myself a victim. I've got white friends who I wouldn't trade for the world, and I get the impression that they feel the same way about me. It's just a shame whenever it happens and is so apparent.
IMAGINE LIVING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE BEING TOLD YOUR A VICTIM, IF HE IS A VICTIM WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SUCESSFUL BLACK AMERICANS
THANK YOU
WHY DO WHITE MASSES HAVE TO SUPPORT IGNORANT BLACK MASSES
@@anthonymccauley9101 Unfortunately this is what gets clicks in the media. It's a tragedy what happened to this kid but you can see how it's used by the media. This story has gotten probably 20x the coverage of the 20 year old girl shot and killed update NY. She didn't do anything, she was the passenger in a car that drove into someones driveway to turn around and the guy walked out and shot at the car.
I remember watching CNN that day that Omar was arrested... *for being a reporter* .
He looked frightened. That's NO excuse for how the police treated him.
They should’ve asked the panelists what they think about the Chicago riots and that woman who was beat up by a mob for no reason.
@@PabloTheThinker Or why blacks as well as Americans being kill in Mexico for years!
@@PabloTheThinker What would that have to do with the topic? That’s like saying let’s talk about girls in the Middle East being murdered for not following social rules.
@@pictureperfect3211 It highlights the hypocrisy here. We just had an innocent woman beat up by a mob and CNN is complaining about their own journalist getting arrested.

God bless America with humility (= truth) to see their sins. Then America will be great. "For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Luke 14:11
I want to leave this comment every time i feel so helpless…USA is a wonderful place filled with wonderful people who are filled with love and goodwill. The problem is, we may not be making enough noise. Love is not rewarded much at all these days, and it would be so nice to begin to change that. But how?
Something something manufactured victimhood give me something yawn.
Imagine being so oppressed that you have to get a 6 figure job at one of the biggest news networks in the country and cry about it to a national audience
Imagine being a black journalist doing your job and getting arrested by the police ON LIVE television for absolutely nothing while there are other white journalists in the same place

The problem is black crime that causes these other terrible incidents.
To be fair, it would appear its a lot harder to be a white woman in Chicago than a rich black guy.
The biggest peril is you work for CNN. I can't get past that

@@Didier0002 every other day a white male is committing mass shooting! You don’t see the entire world calling them terrorist. I’m not a mathematician but how can 8% commit 50% of crimes?

@@AmericanVermin I heard it from your boyfriend.
You sound ridiculous! It’s no way you watched that entire video and made a comment like that! The black CNN reporter was arrested while doing his job and wearing a reported bandage. Moments later his white coworker said he explained who he was and wasn’t arrested. Huh?? How is that not racist!!!? Two men doing the same thing but the white gets to walk away free? It’s a shame how your so closed minded.

I think it's overly generous and naive to accept these claims of "fear" as genuine. I think that's just another dog whistle.
I can't believe I'm hearing this these people are wanting me to look at them as a victim. Here you go buy a pair of work boots get a real job, get dirty like the rest of us.
Stop complaining about being black. It doesn't matter. Just be a good person, FFS.
I have a black coworker that I call the police on every day. Just don’t want him getting uppity.
Someone like him may just be getting uppity, whilst you are at work calling the police on your coworker, with your woman...or your man
@@ludy41 also molester collies
What about the perils that Chicago faces with teen mobs?
POORLY EDUCATED RACIST POS
CNN won't touch that. It's not the narrative they program their audience with.
no response CNN?
There seems to be more moms of teenagers riding in the city of Chicago, especially on weekends. Many cities defunded the police, and as a consequence, there is nobody to stop the this kind of violence from spreading. I just saw an article where a large malls are being attacked by gangs of violent teenagers, rioting and ruining business, especially in the large malls Some have weapons and are terrifying normal customers. Some of attack people in the food court eventually it will ruin the mall. Why would people shop there if they fear being attacked they are all probably hyped up different types of drugs. I hope, in some manner someone finds a solution.
'Bleens' They're like out of control animals all year long but once the warm weather starts it really gets mayhemic. They can't control their violent nature.
Working for CNN, being honest is his greatest challenge.
Chicago???
You make more than us in the chat but you make up fake stories like a little child
Awwww. Does he need special treatment? 😂
I did not know Joe Biden had a big family.
They're not afraid, just hateful.
Waaah ! 😭 I'm black and financially successful, yet STILL so oppressed - my life sucks. Woe is me... boohoo. 😞
Don't you understand how hard it is to have all this freedom, all this money, and a major platform, and STILL pretend to be a victim?? It's exhausting!
Waaaah! I'm a mediocre, talentless white person, and I don't like hearing about anyone else's existence unless it only affects my pathetic life! Waaaah! Why doesn't the world treat me like I'm the center of the universe like before! Waaaah!
This black man was also locked up while doing his job and according to his colleagues he had on a press badge! Moments later his white coworker was approached by the police, he explained who he was and wasn’t arrested! The CNN reported getting paid money means nothing because he’s qualified for the job! The issue should be how he was treated different from his white coworker! Money doesn’t stop racism!!! This is America, it was build on racism stop hiding behind your privilege lifestyle and have an open mind. It’s 2023 for crying out all! We should all know by now the injustice in this Country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is humble an undesirable trait now
Mr Jimenez is right, and I can relate to his experience. I am a middle-aged Black man, well -spoken and professional appearance. About 4 years ago I worked p/t as a Field Rep. for a Data Collection firm, I live in the DFW Metroplex. After making contact with prospective subjects via phone or email, we would have to go the subject's home and conduct the Interview in person. I was the only black man on our Team, in order to do this type of work you need Gov't security clearance. and extensive background Checks because we work on behalf of Gov agencies. In the 4 months the project lasted I was not able to secure 1 in person interview, although my white counterparts were nailing 4 or 5 a week. Positive phone appoinments turned into doorbells not being answered, or no shows at the appointed times if I had to reschedule the appointment. The only success I had was with appointments that were purely conducted over the phone. Many of the neighborhoods I had to visit were very upscale, I would not go directly to the door, I would always stand a few feet away, and announce myself, even though we had fixed appointments set for an interview. Some of these interviews the Respondents would be paid up to $300.00 for participation. From behind the windows I could see the fear, the scowls and looks of utter fright on the look of many who dared to look through the window. I was always professionally dressed, I do not have a fearsome or unwelcoming appearance, quite the opposite, I have been spokesperson, and model for almost all the Companies that I have worked for my photograph being featured in both National and International magazines. There are many negative perceptions about Black people, which has given rise to a lot of fear among people. While the extra money was good.....I never signed up for any projects again, the rejection and humiliation finally took a toll on me. I totally understand where Mr. Jimenez is coming from.
Blame your race for the violence and failures... not everyone else that's witnessed or victimized by it.
Maybe they watch to many videos of blacks killing blacks everyday right here on UA-cam. I mean it isn’t right, I treat all man equally. I would never act like these people you are talking about, But you have to think about what they see everyday on the news and social media. What am I supposed to think when I watch hundreds of black kids rioting in Chicago. If I had long hair tattoos looked ruff dressed in a suit, they’d treat me the same way.
@@shlepmessing8703 telling you what I really feel about your statement, would be a betrayal of my Christian convictions. Sufficient to say where ignorance is bliss....it is folly to be wise.
@@DebbieDerpSybilz Sorry you had to experience that, it isn't right.......but for 4 Years we had a President who touted that immigrants, and blacks are the enemy and a lot of people heard him and believed.
@@anthonymccauley9101 Blacks are 13% of the population and responsible for 60% of violent crime. You also murder each other an average of 7 times per day. 2,500 times a year. Every looting video is of black people. Every Asian hate crime video is of black people. You even built a goddamned statue for a lifelong criminal. What does your Christianity tell you about waking the fuck up and admitting the facts?
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was relentlessly grilled and exposed by Senators during a hearing Tuesday regarding child trafficking across the southern border leading to forced labor.
Senator Ron Johnson ripped into Mayorkas, telling him “you ought to resign,” and asking that if border security is “a priority, how did we let four or five million people into this country in a little more than two years?”
And there is even more bad news for the Biden cabinet. A special counsel has accused HHS, secretary, Becerra of violating federal law, The Hatch Act. He should resign immediately. Joe Biden stayed in early on that he would not allow any violations of the law in his administration.
As a black man, I find it offensive the way CNN and democrats have been treating black man Clarence Thomas of late. I’m sure as a black Supreme Court justice he’s already used to the racism democrats show towards him. That kind of stuff spreads!
Blackity black black
"As a black man" translation: I'm a white troll pretending to be Black on the internet so that I can say some dumb racist nonsense.

The fact that the can point their fingers at just one man shows tha5 there is no racism. 1 man out of 340 millions, just think about it. This is actually a good statistic
Always the victim.

At the end of the day all killings are bad, and it does not matter who does - black, white, purple, green. What makes it worst is if you killed for justing ringing a door bell or if you in your classroom trying to learn or buying groceries or being at a parade. There are bad people in all races, period.
