"There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed." (Gandhi)
Ignoring these issues don't make them go away.
Neither does voting for Democrats apparently. All the cities they've run for decades have the majority of the worst poverty in America.
I love what she said about allyship, and us being connected by humanity. It was so, beautifully put.
I wholeheartedly agree with Sister Bernice, in that, the problems that exists in our nation and world are the problems of all of us, not just one specific community. We need to adjust our societal lenses and look at the " big picture" instead of a tiny segment of it. Loving humanity involves putting down individual agendas and working towards improving life for all mankind everywhere.
Lastly, we should keep in mind that without a struggle, there is no progress!!!!!!!
Democracy is just a word if the people are starving.

@Shrexy Beast That is not always true, which is why it is anecdotal, not a proven statistical fact. That has never been true. Poverty exists because of exploitation and wage theft in most cases. It is a system of violence and a tool of the oligarch oppressors. They do this so, they can go to Haves and tell them "look at the Have-nots, if you don't want to be a have-not, you better be good little productive boot licker." And their lap dogs in government, parrot their talking points, and pass only the laws the oligarchs write for them. While we have over 20 empty houses for every single houseless person in this country. While housing prices being driven up by 30%-50% because equity firms are turning our housing into portfolios. Price gouging is at historically insane levels and they still have the audacity to call it inflation. While the Fed tries to stop the "inflation" by stopping small business owners and start-ups from being able to obtain loans, so they can limit the job market, and drive down wages. When the price gouging has already caused a 3% real wage cut. And housing costs are driving citizens to the streets. While state governments criminalize homelessness. Poverty is a machination of the oligarch planation owners. Anyone who can't see that is a slave to the oligarchy.
How about mental illness, and not knowing where we are going to live in our poverty.
We are all struggling, asking God, now where do I go?
We all need to fit in somewhere to keep our sanity.
So please, it's everywhere.
The wealth inequality gap is rising, while people are too busy gawking at politicians who promote change only to keep things the same. They’re both on the same side: to keep them rich, and keep you poor. Wake up people.
Most of these politicians leave Washington as millionaires. Our system of legal bribery known as the system of campaign contributions is hideous and atrocious and needs to be abolished.
@@Epoch11 It doesn’t need to be abolished in needs to be changed. That’s why Trump was such a good president because he was already a billionaire when he got in and he didn’t have to weasel his way in as a politician does. He was draining the swamp, that is why they got rid of him.
@Shrexy Beast lol that is no reason to allow poverty....
@@Epoch11 Let's make sure people understand the term used to hide their corruption, "lobbying".
The same people who say silence is violence
Love how she broke down that it is not an "us problem" it's "our problem."
Exactly.
Couldn't help but notice the Rev. Dr. William Barber. To my way of thinking, he is one of the greatest Americans alive.
Barber and his speeches sounds good, but has little impact in poor communities. He should tell Biden to drill, people should not have to chose between high price food and gas or paying their rent
Nah he is just a Poor excuse for a Pastor he is well funded by the Naacp and keeps people in Poverty
Bless Bernice, she was the best speaker and articulates the blessed community, an up-
reach message.
Another speech, little results
ONLY THE POOR FEED THE POOR❗❗
That is so true, I’m always thinking how can I share what I barely have, but we gotta take care if each other so we make it work.
Well the rich people pay my bills. Because they have the money and I work for them.
@@thanosdoomjuggernaut2846 you pay your bills by earning it…
@@CAC6363 Yes, I pay my bills by earning money.
@@thanosdoomjuggernaut2846 so rich ppl didn’t pay your bills…
✊🏿 power to THE PEOPLE.
I wish people could truly come together because we out number for wealthy and the corporations by 100 to 1. If people could put aside Petty differences we might actually be able to create a society leave it all be proud to live in and to raise our children in as well. We need more action like this, especially in this country where wealth inequality is become something that is disgusting and outrageous.
"The way you see people is the way you treat them, & the way you treat them is what they become." (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
The guy in the green shirt is my hero!
Whenever someone tries to unite people on an economic basis-- which would unseat the status quo of the wealthy-- they get taken out right quick😬
Violence is violence.
EXACTLY!!! Poverty is a choice and a situation, not violence.
People are working full-time for starvation rates of pay. Give everybody that works a living wage. People getting paid such low wages that they are working full time to live in poverty is a violence.
@Nic Exactly.
You are so right! Economic inequality is the root cause of our current social and political issues.
How exactly? Go into detail
Karl Marx already tried this one, dude...🤦♂️
There will always be inequality it's the level of this inequality which is the problem. In the 1940s and 50s a single man could work buy a house buy a car send his children to college retire with a pension and his wife never had to work. Now we have automation and things are produced on a much greater scale with a far fewer need for people actually making products. The end result is that this money is not distributed among the workers in fact their salaries are cut and the wealth is funneled to the top.
@@Epoch11 Even if wealth was *_perfectly_* distributed and everyone had the same resources, inequity wouldn't exist because of (1) free will and (2) geography
Wildly different personal spending choices and surrounding terrain makes equity impossible.
@@Epoch11 So you’re against change and progress. Things back then were cheaper and simpler than the things we have today. And colleges keep raising all their tuition and everything keeps going up because of inflation caused by Leftist Ideology.
Happy emancipation day
We have a love for the human race issue. We wouldn’t have certain issues if everyone saw their neighbor as themselves.

Is it bad that I’m in my 30s and physically attracted to this woman(who’s nearly 30 years older than me) 😮she’s gorgeous tho ❤
Preach!
Bernice King, we need more of you. Please keep going, keep loving, keep growing, and keep bringing us with you. love and blessings sister.
We will fail everytime; it is in our nature 2 SIN. It is only through the
****(BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST)**** that we can acquire complete Forgiveness. Accept Jesus as our Savior & ask 4 FORGIVENESS of your SINS, and accept that JESUS shed His BLOOD 2 atone for your Sins if u repent.
Then PRAISE the name of GOD. And then ask God for HELP with anything that you need help with.
It REALLY works.
Amen.
I don't like not having money! Let's go somewhere and protest instead of going to work.
There’s financial poverty but the most dangerous is mental poverty. Diplomacy overrules violence.
It is, they make conscious choices to keep us in poverty
Who is keeping us in poverty? I praise and thank GOD I’m not in poverty and I help and love the people around me.
@@thanosdoomjuggernaut2846 the government and businesses.
50% of workers make $33,000 a year or less.
@@scifirealism5943 Maybe 40 years ago in America, but they make way more than that today. You can make more $33,000 a year at a fast food restaurant.
@@thanosdoomjuggernaut2846 no...that is right now.
@@thanosdoomjuggernaut2846 most who work fast food don't make 33k...
So that’s why they’re so violent.
Poverty isn't violence. Poverty is lacking. Stay in school, be a good and just entrepreneurial citizen.
It's violence....
College Education isn't free and high school diploma isn't a ticket to middle class anymore.
You ppl really have a hard time paying attention to your surroundings and love to shroud yourselves in ignorance. Our government goes out of it’s why to make life harder for those that are less fortunate through education, medical, and financial mobility. The middle class is dwindling before our eyes. They are actively keeping wages low, pricing ppl out of owning property. This is happening right in front of your face and your brainwashed a** has the nerve to say “just be good” it’s honestly stupid
This is the very movement that got MLK killed, but you have the nerve to say poverty isn’t violence.
The Blue Print of her father may have gotten us in this mess. People need accountability and responsibility instead of reliance on government.
@@m.jackson2609 everyone is reliant on the government.
That woman needs to read a dictionary and then her bible.
Poverty is not violence but calling poverty violence gives the poor the excuse to use actual violence.
The number one predictor of if someone will grow up poor and/or incarcerated is being raised by an unmarried woman.
If you want to end poverty put fathers in children's lives.
You know it also helps money. The wealth of some people has become outrageous and we live in a nation which condones it. Deflecting from this is something that has been done for hundreds of years.
AMEN!!!!!
@@Epoch11 There was nothing wrong with someone being rich, especially if they worked for it. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk they are self made men. But I know exactly what you’re all about.
@@Epoch11
In this country you can get rich without being politically well connected. The same system that encourages people to get rich has lifted more people out of poverty than any other. We have these so called impoverished people with smart phones, giant TVs, and suffering from too much food.
Take to pieces of pipe one 8 inches long the other 16 inches long. The rich piece of pipe has 8 more than the poor pipe. But inflation happens and now the poor pipe is 203mm long and and the rich is 406mm long and the rich has 203mm than the poor. Nothing has changed but the poor pipe claims that the rich get richer.
This is not a perfect analogy the rich usually store the money in inflation resistance/wealth increasing assets while the poor as cash or bank savings accounts that pay less interest than the rate of inflation. But Biden destroyed predictability in the oil market and through thousand out of work by canceling oil pipelines in the USofA and by stopping new federal oil leases and changing the regulation on drilling and production making it more expensive to drill new wells and decreasing the profit of doing so has caused gasoline prices to double so far but he has kept his promise to destroy the American fossil industry which is the cleanest in the world while trying to increase it abroad and then ship the oil in smoke belching ships.
The poor already use violence.
