    • @Dzillarable
      @Dzillarable Před 7 lety +2

      without the internet ; the media could elect who they wanted on the back of their power. that is dangerous af. this is when we talk of censoring "false information" we are going into dangerous territory because it is on the media discretion what they can and wont show the public. Rather then letting people decipher the truth with all the information they would rather use censorship to keep people ignorant. The greater manipulation is in the press.

    • @nath8282
      @nath8282 Před 7 lety +2

      Look at some of these people, who hate Trump, actually DEFENDING the terrible main stream media. Everyone knows what the media is for, no need for a lecture, but it could be used to encourage and accomplish great things.....but if you are a negative political hack then i understand you do not understand what im saying.

      The liberals need to come up with a better candidate than Hillary "The Liar" Clinton. After she was exposed for her inaction on Benghazi, her stupidity in having an unsecured email server on which she received and sent classified and top secret information and having the leader of the DNC give her the questions for the debate in advance, who in their right mind would vote for this demon woman?

    The difference between Ray Lewis and Colin Kaepernick is that Ray puts actions behind his words, while Kaepernick just sits and does nothing. Ray Lewis will actually change the beaten down communities instead of just acknowledging that there is a problem.

      I know Kaep wore a Castro shirt. I'm glad Kiko took his head off for it too. Kaep didn't even vote, which 100% makes him a hypocrite. It's not about hating Kaep, it's about the contrast between him and Ray.

      James so what has Kaep done? Huh? That's right, there is no evidence that Kaep has done anything, or taken any action to fight for his cause, he didn't even Vote! If there's not evidence, it's probably because he isnt doing anything. When you talk about Ray Lewis, there is actual evidence that he takes actions to contribute to what he believes in. I don't know why you're defending Kaep tbh, he's a terrible person.

    Working with the other side is the best thing any politician can do. Trump is doing exactly that and people's hate gets stronger for him. Why do people feel the need to put hate first? We need to start putting compassion and understanding first, not ridicule and skepticism. Being skeptical is great, but maybe a wait and see approach would be best here.

    • @obviouslytot1488
      @obviouslytot1488 Před 7 lety

      Kerry Jackson There are so many reasons why people focus on the future. Just to name a few
      1) Immediate actions focusing only on the present are like slapping some patches on a broken levee. They never fix the problem. They will be using the time and resources that could go to researching the underlying cause to barely mask the symptoms.
      2) Change has to be gradual and well thought out. You don't plunge hot glass into an ice bath. Chaos is the result. Because of this, it's more logical to focus on the future which will be when the changes truly matter.
      3) People put their children before themselves and would rather focuses on solving the underlying the issues so their kids won't have to live with the same problems.
      4) The most affective changes start with the children. Each generation that grows up with new societal norms and rules tend to accept them better. Its why gen x is less likely to be accepting of others life styles than gen y. Gen y grew up with the new society norms. The next gen with be vastly different and more accepting than us gen y. Aka, start teaching them young! Lol
      That's just a few... it's just wiser to focus on the future. All In all, adding the occasional patch can help but trying to patch everything will hurt more than it will help.

Both of these men knew they'd take a lot of heat for attending this meeting, but they care more about their community than their own personal reputations. Since Trump is a huge football fan who's been demonized by the political class, I can't think of two better emissaries of the black community than Ray Lewis and Jim Brown to meet with Trump.

      Joshua Johnson, nice straw man argument. You should spend less time putting words in people's mouths and making assumptions about them and more time learning how to form a cogent argument.

      So will Trump sit down and listen to people who want to talk with him about climate change and renewable energy to save our planet?

    If Hillary is the president, Ray Lewis would have donated first to Clinton foundation before having a meeting.

    Thank you Ray Lewis. It's so infectious and enlightening to hear you speak! And it's probably the first time I've heard you speak. "There is no they, they is nobody that is going to get it done, charity never compares to change etc. etc. etc. ". I'm little embarrassed right now that I thought this was going to be a ho hum almost negative type interview and instead it was the most inspiring and positive thing I've heard in at least a couple years. Wow.

      The quotation marks kind of gave away his "sincerity", thus the above comment is valid.

      I think his point was that they wouldn't beg for their support but that they would tell their plan to him and see if he would be willing to back it.

  • @Larry11181
    @Larry11181 Před 7 lety +4

    Personally I think people need to stop referring to him as Trump, Donald, or Mr Trump, or Donald Trump. He is President-Elect Trump and soon to be President Trump. Whether you like him or dislike him, we as citizens need to respect the office of President. I don't like it when people call our current president Barrack or just Obama, and I do not care for President Obama at all. When I speak about him I always recognize the title and the office with proper respect due.

      Mr Wright You're right, but that'll never happen. I'll do it even though I can't stand him, but most won't.

    • @Larry11181
      @Larry11181 Před 7 lety +1

      ***** then you get it. I can't fault you for not liking who the President is. Not all of us vote for the person that wins the Presidency but those of us who show proper respect no matter the outcome will address the President with the appropriate respect due for the office he holds. I don't care if I you like or dislike President-Elect Trump. I respect your comment and your understanding that the office has to be respected.
