When we defunded schools and libraries , we were actually defunding schools and libraries . A bunch of schools closed and a bunch of libraries closed. They didn’t mean to reallocate school funds, they meant to DEFUND schools and that’s what they did. The pushback is more about the slogan than the actual policy.
@@SuiteVII I believe that the slogan should be as strong and precise as the issue. Usually when the government says they are going to defund something it means whatever they defunded is now gone. Basically in governmental languages “defund the police” means “let’s not fund the police force”. If that’s not what we’re asking for then we need to change the slogan.
@@tubafats100 And, I believe little, nit-picky arguments over semantics is merely a plot to siphon away our energies away from the true origin of our discontent. Ultimately, there is no slogan succinct enough to get MOST White Americans onboard with equality.
He's right. Change the slogan. They're battling about a slogan that alienates that won't get them what they want. And why are they blaming him when it's knowledge that the Senate and some of Congress spent six years blocking him. Blame yourselves for not being as proactive about voting in other elections which would've given him support and backup.
@lover of god With parents yes, I agree. But, that doesn't make someone disrespectful because he or she isn't saying President so and so. It's just a title, don't be so caught up with that. He's not the President anymore, so technically that's not necessary to put that in front of his name.
The whole government needs to and must be overhauled....at this point there are more corrupt politicians in Congress than politicians working to change any absurd laws
Idk why y’all won’t let President Obama retire and write his books in peace. While he was in office the next generation started this movement and this year it finally has a legitimate stance with demands (nationally). He was never progressive, we are not a monolith and he is not our savior. It’s time for us to focus on who is currently about to take office and move forward. We never did this to any other president, leave him be.
@@michaeln3638 I’m def not negating your opinion, I’m just saying leave Obama alone. I stand with ol girl who said “I’m not looking for my oppressor to be my savior”. But to ask a retired president about where he stands when he really should be focused on his 3rd act is doing too much. Ask Biden and Kamala if you are going to ask anyone. That’s all I’m saying.
That’s not what “pithy’ means. That’s probably why people are offended because they didn’t understand the expression. Pithy means “concise” or @forcefully expressive.” Therefore he is saying slogan Defund the Police is too forcefully concise and open to misinterpretation.
That segment was irritating and they still don’t get it. It might help to listen to someone whose actually tried to pass sweeping legislation. The in fighting around the cause of police violence will have us stuck right where we are until be learn how to negotiate, win down ballot elections and turn the cause into policy.
@brenda taylor its a japanese skin lightening lotion. It says in the article the hollywood african american celebrities use it and it doesnt even make them look black anymore but really light skinned,although they deny it matsuiskinlightening.com/products/bleaching-skin-lightening-orange-peeling-lotion-100-ml-top-selling-product i guess the reason they deny using this lotion is probably they want people to think they are naturally light skinned,people should just be honest.
This chocolate dame is beautiful! I just think she is such a great representation of the black woman. I watched her on the TYT network and she's amazing.
All the people that passed away when Obama was in office. They couldn’t really hate anybody’s in the face like when this man is in the office now I understand I understand what you’re saying but you still being honest man defunding the police that’s current wrong not even though I have been a victim of the police in a police violence I have not dark body hands I have got beaten at the age of 17 And is still stands out I don’t know what does white woman told the police I don’t know with the motorcycle tap and why does cop did what he did but he was a black man and white man was trying to choke me out to passed out for some reason one of the sheriffs say why are you doing this to this little girl that’s the only reason I turn my head and I looked at him and got the strength to stay awake I am a fighter and I will be afraid to the end of my days
And don’t go mentally while President Obama was in office we lost these names: and a list of names. Sweetie in the yellow, Plus a lot of people throughout the history of the United States. I am 50 years old and I need all of my fingers and toes and I still want out of room to name all the people there were lost. You’re young people, you millennials and generation Z fail to understand that we have lost a lot of people and just because there wasn’t any social media around and there were no hashtags to add to their name does not mean their lives don’t count too. Can’t say you tried it his way, because President Obama did not do anything in the way of police reform his way. Need a bill that President Obama put in place for police reform… I wait. What do you millennials and generation Z also don’t understand, because you’re coming into this world where a lot of things are already put in place; is that you always need a farce when it comes to being black to break the barrier so that someone else black and come in and do the work.
What President Obama said made no sense because you did not SAY WHAT HE SAID. Obama's ACTUAL QUOTE From Daily Show Interview: 22:15 "If we in fact want to translate, the very legitimate belief, that how we do policing; needs to change. And if there is, for example, a homeless guy ranting and railing in the middle of the street, sending a mental health worker, rather than an ARMED, UNTRAINED police officer to deal with that person might be a better outcome for all of us, and make us safer. If we describe that to… not just white folks, but let’s say Michelle’s Mom. That makes sense to them. But if we say, “Defund the Police.” Not just white folks, but Michelle’s Mom might say, “If I’m getting robbed, who am I going to call, and is someone going to show up?? So the issue here becomes, at any given time, how are we translating and using language? Not to make people “more comfortable.” Because that’s always a strain historically, the concern is often, “Oh are we just trying to make white people comfortable, rather than speaking truth to power.” That’s the framework we tend to think about these things. The issue to me is not making them comfortable. It is... can we be precise with our language enough, that people that might be persuaded, around that particular issue, to make a particular change, that gets a particular result that we want. What’s the best way for us to describe that??"
The second time I have got beaten up by the police I was an adult I remember the police jumping on me and it’s saying that she’s fighting us he’s fighting us someone had a knife and he tried to stab me in the ankle they cut my ankle I have the scars to prove it I even lost a lot of hair that never grew back I brought this to the police commission I never got a dime I never saw justice but I have the scars to prove it not every cop is like that I brought it to Torrance Court well I need some police officers and they say what’s wrong and I said that man jumped on me he is a cat 77 surprise to myself he’s not from the 77 police division he’s from another police department I don’t make any difference a victim is a victim and I was a victim and And I’m still a victim I understand what they trying to do but realize they do have some good ones and I’m always looking for the good ones how dusty and dirty may be they still have some good ones and I am champion for those
If you are more married to a slogan than outcomes then you are not a true progressive! Keep the substance, and call it something different. #simple
Why didn't he speak up 8 years ago!!
Also the corrupt in the police department needs to be eradicated period
So, where’s this resistance when we are “defunding” schools, libraries, ect?

@@tubafats100 Its so crazy how people are more concerned about our verbiage than the actual issue. As if the right tone can bring about justice.

Let's start by addressing him as President Obama. I'm so tired of the finger pointing by people who do nothing for anyone.
Agree... he worked hard for that title
I guess dropping a bunch of bombs until he ran out while wasting your tax money is doing something useful...
How do you know what they are doing or not doing for others?? And they can call him what they want.
@lover of god With parents yes, I agree. But, that doesn't make someone disrespectful because he or she isn't saying President so and so. It's just a title, don't be so caught up with that. He's not the President anymore, so technically that's not necessary to put that in front of his name.
@lover of god That's what's up. And I'll respect you calling him President Obama.
The whole government needs to and must be overhauled....at this point there are more corrupt politicians in Congress than politicians working to change any absurd laws
Defund literally means to prevent from receiving funds. Saying you want to reallocate funds is literally something different.
Obama needs to go back to Martha's Vineyard and hush! Oh and Tom Cruise was 1000% correct. Period. Full Stop.
Agreed. The Obama part.
Obama was correct. Go look up the word “defund” and tell me if that’s actually the word we should be using.
Idk why y’all won’t let President Obama retire and write his books in peace.

Non FBA response

excuse me but why didn't put the entire response about the question of Obama about the defund the police? be honest
I think our Police needs to be trained about mental health also dealing with adults with Autism.
That segment was irritating and they still don’t get it. It might help to listen to someone whose actually tried to pass sweeping legislation.

I love Brooke
Obama is correct.....hes not talking about the movement, hes talking about the title
With no Vaseline. Just a match and a lil bit of gasoline. - Ice Cube.
Medical Apartheid anyone?!
The way you present something can determine the support you receive. There isnt a one working solution esp saying the word defunding
We are all sick of Obama
Naw sweetie.
All? Not me.
Yes I am.
Not I
No, we are not!
This is well put together, who are the host?
President Obama’s exclamation help me, I don’t know what’s wrong with you people.
