1. Funny thing about slavery. History would like a word: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhw1ATYxWcQ

2. wow, no progress in fighting racism in 400 years, says the black woman sitting in congress…

3. Rep. Val Demings is Brilliant & Beautiful as Well.☮️

4. Then why haven't you changed the problem until something happens…you just want the black vote

5. The trolls are out in force today.

6. Hey ! DOLL you're caught up in self ambition an not the king's dream !

7. Systemic racism is a system that keeps racism alive.

8. I'm wondering why Obama, the Black president, who served 8 years did not make a change if this is true?

9. So the country is 400 years old? What about the people that lived on the content before the Europeans landed and killed, burned and generally destroyed the what is now called the American Indian? What about the treatment of all people not just black. After all just because a person is black doesn’t mean they are from Africa. If they are born in the US they are American with black skin. Their heritage maybe from Africa but not always. Besides if someone is always separating them selfs as different then the next then they will be.

10. I find it ironic that they keep marching out white people to say racism in the system by whites doesn't exist. What's scary is that there are tons of white people here on this forum that are bent on pushing that false narrative for them.

11. How will Trump pander to the left fake narrative that systemic racism exists, which it doesn't. Zero data supports systemic racism exists.

12. Pull all the cops out and let the street gangs run the cities! OK! Damned if you do and damned if you don't! The cops are the only thing keeping black America from devouring itself!

13. JUST SNUGGLE UP AND WAIT FOR THE WELFARE. IF IT DON'T SHOW TAKE A BRICK AND DON'T FORGET YOUR MASK AND HEAD TO THE STORE WITH A FRIEND.

14. Yes the U.S. has a problem with racism. But from all sites. Just look at the stats from the F.B.I. from 2013. Most killings are from blacks against blacks, then whites vs. whites, then blacks against whites and very LAST are whites killing blacks. So don't tell us that racism comes from the white americans only

15. This is not the end of the world but a warning from the Lord. You should always heed a warning, right!

16. Don’t forgot about people in jail some people in jail are not criminals they just made a mistake with that being said non violence offenses should be dismissed

17. Inshallah we black people we shall get justice

18. Val Demings i s an impressive woman. I want to see her our next vice president.

19. I’m tired of caring. I’m ganna smoke a joint!!!

20. 0% chance she is the choice for VP. Zero percent chance. This interview ensured that in my mind. Not horrible but nothing special. And not remotely qualified given is just a 2-term Congressman.

21. title should be not earning other ppls respect for 400 years.

22. Val Demings for Vice!!!

23. FACT YOU WERE SOLD BY YOUR OWN PEOPLE.

24. Imagine a country so discriminatory and racist that people of color from around the world strive to move and live there……..

25. When store's have to put signs up saying they are black owned you know the black Rioters are targeting the white people.

26. ALL LIVES MATTER

27. Turned from a police brutality thing to a racist thing. Hmmm. She sounds like a political bullshitter

28. IN THE EARLY 1800S THE AFRICANS WERE OFFERED TO BE TAKEN HOME, THEY DECLINED. NO SYMPATHY.

29. well she must do something right she has on a pearl necklace

30. VAL DEMINGS IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE PROBLEM. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/09/orlando-police-complaints-in-the-spotlight-as-african-american-ex-chief-runs-for-congress/443526/

31. No you haven’t and if that was the case then we would have our 40 acres and a mule wtf 😂

32. "There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well.”
    Booker T Washington

33. Joe Biden VP List
    1.Michelle Obama
    2. Condoleeza Rice
    3.Val Demings

34. There is racism indeed but its nothing to do with skin color but more your educational level or social status and/or poverty level. You're looking at the world with clouded eyes.

35. The facts do not support systemic racism in the USA, not today. Keep in mind we have had years of affirmative action, job and minority set asides, including business set asides, entrance into colleges based upon minority status, a Black President who served two terms. Our colleges are fully open to anyone who puts in the work and wants to study. What we do have that is troubling is uncontrolled police departments and racist cops who prey upon Black Americans. That must be corrected. That must be addressed on a national basis. We can not have mobs of police acting as judge, jury and executioner on Black Americans, or anyone for that matter.

36. 2020 CE – 1700's CE = 320 yrs.
    How the hell did she get where she is , and can't add for Schitt!!!

37. VAL AND HER HUSBAND MAKING MONEY OFF OF US! VAL IS WORSE THEN AMY! VAL WAS FOR LYNCHING CLEARLY SHE DIDN'T ANSWER!

38. not sure what this systemic racism is, i google it and it is not defined, and those who talk about it are not clear. all i have seen are black politicians being interviewed primarily by black network story people. does not make sense

39. 400 years? Hows that?

40. VAL SAID NOTHING ABOUT RACISM DURING IMPEACHMENT.

41. IF VAL WAS TALKING TRUTH WHY ARE THE AMERICANS OF AFRICAN DESCENT FILING CLAIMS AGAINST HER WHEN SHE WAS POLICE CHIEF. NOBODY IS VOTING FOR THIS TRAITOR IN THE AMERICAN OF AFRICAN CULTURE. HARRIS 2020! OR TRUMP!

42. she should be the VP 2020

43. We don’t want no more damn programs man don’t y’all get it ?
