Glen Ford: Black Politics in America Right Now

1. Seems much more likely to get results by demanding action from the historically apathetic Republicans than to try and redirect disingenuous pandering Democrats.

2. AAA+++Bedford, Texas

3. AAA+++

4. It is interesting that Black Agenda Report did not highlight what Black people are finally demanding: a Black agenda.

   This is nonetheless a highly informative clip, and well articulated. But being left, progressive, or Green does not naturally imply that we get anything. We have to demand policies focused on our statistical economic position. It’s an unstable position.

5. Glen Ford, you're an idiot.

6. Excellent presentation. More videos like this on the real news and I just might subscribe.

7. One- You have a white man talking about black peoples politics and issues.

   TWO- The left is just as racist as the right

   Three- No black agenda? No vote. Even if that means not voting at all

8. Between the lines, every Bloomberg
   endorsement says; "Im For Sale!"

9. It definitely is a two-headed snake party system, and it serves it's corporate owners over people all day long. Also let's not forget how the system he has created clases, and ways of separating people within those classes, to dilute our power. All of us, black white and the shades in between, that are not hundred millionaires or billionaires, have more in common within this struggle than we do with the criminal ownership class. There is no doubt that people of colour feel a greater subjugation, but all of us are allies in this fight, including Caucasians. Let's kick their God damn asses together please.

10. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. Theodore Roosevelt

11. Hopefully one of these days people will stop identifying themselves as a "Crayon". When the so called BLACKS start to read a law book and find out they are actually the "Free White Man" in a law book, shit gonna hit the fan. But getting a Black man to read a law Dictionary is like trying to remove "stank" off Shit, it's impossible to do.

12. Don't hear this on cable news!
    Good work

13. I am a Black male in my late 20 and I will only vote for a candidate that supports reparations to American whom ancestors were slaves and has a black agenda.

14. BERNIE 2020 ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

15. Wow. Finally someone reflecting my thoughts. We need to go for the policies we want, not go against the white man's party and against our interest when we do. True, black politics is to the left of Bernie, no reason to go to the right of him.

16. I love the Black Agenda Report with writers like Glen Ford & Bruce Dixon..

17. The same methodology is used against white democrats who vote to defeat republicans, neglecting their interests and abandoning issues. Generally speaking, divisive forces separate people from their own interests. Fighting racism is laying the axe to the root of evil. The wedge of fear driven through the wellbeing of every person. A staple of America politics.

18. Dear God please help Bernie Sanders be our next president. We are being squeezed out by the corporations and government. We have worked hard we deserve to live with dignity. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

19. Glenn forgot to talk about Steyer…what's his take on that billionaire talking about reparations?

20. The most accurate and honest analysis I’ve heard of black politics in a while!! However I don’t think he knows about #ADOS!! Sanders will not win without support for a black agenda and reparations! We here now!!

21. Im black, in South Carolina and voting for Bernie. Idk who in their right mind would vote for Bloomberg or Biden.

22. Bro….wth are you talking about??? Wake up and realize that both parties are not that of our party…"the Black party". Neither side agrees and does (through actions) anything to truly help aid us in our poverty-stricken neighborhoods. And honestly bro, you sound unintelligent with your backed-dated ideas of the political spectrum..please, hold your breath because you don't speak for me. Who still say the. "white man" lol😂….by now, we should all have learned that it's the system that's against us…including black judges, musicians, professors and any other high political or career position that turns a blind eye to the brokenness of our communities.

23. BAR has gone down hill in the past few years. Socialism makes sense but Glen and the crew are commies

24. I don't know who this brother is talking to in Black society but, the Black grassroots is talking Reparations for the DOS & a Black agenda for all Blacks The only candidate who signed on to our agenda is Tom Steyer.

25. Get a man that knows how to speak I didn’t understand anything he had to say

26. The "good cops" hold the coats of the "bad cops", while clucking their tongues.

27. MLK was a Democratic Socialist. He saw that neither party truly spoke to the politics of Black America. He used them as tools because he had no choice. But if allowed to, he would have started a third party for working people of color.

28. Stupid man says black folk would vote for Bloomberg and forgets to mention Sanders. Out of touch with reality of revolution? Bernie will have a strong black woman as VP who is not owned by the corporate lobbyists.

29. They need a black agenda. We deserve our equivalent to forty acres and a mule

30. Black boycotts of presidential elections would get results. But, people are so programmed to keep giving away votes to people who see them as less than human in this fake two-party system.

31. Boycott Face Book, and Google.

32. Trump is setting the stage for WWIII for his Christian Evangelical base. And no one is talkinh about it.

33. For more than three years the state-run mainstream media news controlled by the nationally security state promoted a Putin/Trump bromance. These same crafty creatures mortified about Sanders unstoppable ascendency are keen to expand this lovefest into a ménage à trois. Now Putin is lusting after the buffoon and Bernie. Enough is enough–stop the warmongering. End the endless wars.

34. Race politics and gender politics have been rammed down young American's throats for so long it has no meaning anymore.

    Most of America can't afford a 400$ expense right now, that transcends race and gender, it includes EVERYONE. That was the entire point to MLK Jr, making you see class, not race or gender. The Neolibs and neocons project race and gender 24/7 because they don't want to talk about disastrous wealth inequality and generational inequality. Deflecting off class is the primary MSM tactic now.

35. Dixiecrats. The issue is only having to political parties or political parties in the first place.

    Glad to see Glen Ford speak. Wish he had been BAR's speaker on PressTV. That's why I recommended BAR.

36. ALL parties are "their" parties… ADOS PPL HAVE NO FRIENDS NOR ALLIES IN ANY POLITICAL CATEGORY bc this entire idea of European civilization is built at the expense of Black Ppl and can only be maintained at the continued expense of Black ppl. The only person that was genuinely interested uplifting this country by righting its wrongs was Marianne Williamson. None of these candidates are about doing ANY real good, just like Donald Trump.

37. More Glen Ford TRNN!

38. Black people should have their own government in America. White people do not work for black people. Take heed black people. You were made to rule yourselves and that the time has come for you to do so.

39. Ppl. have to WAKE-up & STOP bein' SLAVES'..slavery ended A LONG TIME AGO

40. Wish you were reporting LIVE more often…Please follow the money subverting all Peace loving working people.

41. No black agenda, no reparations… No vote
    #Notmyvote ✊✊✊

42. The brotha explained the situation perfectly! No one actually cares for black people in America! #FBA #ADOS #NoReparationsNoVote #Tangibles

43. Bernie Sanders is the first person, in my lifetime, that I cannot wait to vote for him! Amen! Preach my brother! #Bernie2020

44. Ok but Trump has time and time again acted in Russias favor and has both reduced sanctions and pulled out of North Syria. So this RussiaGate narrative is weird… Why is the left in love with Putin? He is an ethno-Fascist!

45. Presidents are selected not elected btw

46. Glen Ford is always engaging. thanxs!

47. So Black Agenda Report got caught up in the same kind of supression that IT was guilty of trying to do to ADOS via Dr. Wimsbush With those bogus articles while yall were citing a romanian gypsy, catfishing as a "sister", while sge was trying to discredit THEE ONLY MOVEMENT that advocates SOLELY for (Native Black Americans) as Dr. Claud Anderson would say. I see yall are also part of the problem, and also have issues with trying to control a narrative.
