  1. Poor girls – whiny and ineffective at their jobs got destroyed.. and this is what they do for a living??? Can’t even let someone make their point… what a disaster for both of these doorknobs

  2. Right but then someone does something stupidly racial to cause more backlash amongst themselves, then proceed to explain the matter in the means of understanding life 😂😂😂😂😂trash. Ssdd we need a anti blk hate law

  3. Divide and conquer. Who’s most to benefit to have the U.S. divided?

  4. Look at little Hillary Clinton Junior, trying to keep racism alive😂

  5. He is the only man I would vote in over Trump at this point

  6. White liberal women . Top virtue signal awards.

  7. He’s right but that doesn’t negate the fact systemic racism still exists. What is systemic racism? It’s biased quiet racism that exists within SYSTEMS. It’s not glaringly obvious and that’s what makes it so dangerous. Racism has definitely reduced but the militant racism still exists but it’s quietly now. It’s why a white person is hired for the job even when the black person is more qualified than them.

  8. Vivek is the president this country needs!

  9. 😮😮😮😮so quoting mlk doesnt validate yur point, this🤡 is speaking on civil rights when for sure he has done nothing. To suggest folks are obsessing over continual systemic racism when diversity & considering minority status in now an issue!

  10. 😂😮😮😂😮😮😮😂😂😂 this man is a 🤡😕 so we have ex- president who wants to go back to former ways, to invalidate votes, & overturn the democratic process. So identifying systemic racism as racism is absurb! This guy is an imbicile

  11. This guy will president one day!

  12. They need trump he was a strong stern leader that scares china and russia but biden is just a joke and these candidates wont get taken seriously

  13. If we were getting closer to the "promised land," we wouldn't be ok with the racism in the PROMISED LAND! How can the US turn a blind eye to the masscre of 30,000 Palestinians in the space of 3 months, including 12,000 children — that's one child every ten minutes!

  14. So well articulated. Vote for this guy, not Trump

  15. Deport his immigrant dad.

  16. I'm not hearing where he's right. . .

  17. Democrats don't want us to achieve racial equality. That's why they're always laser focused on racism.

  18. Tapping into white fear of karma…👍👍👍

  19. Vivek never destroyed her. He's always denying things that he's said before. Christie said it on stage

  20. His answer was the dumbest non answer I’ve ever heard. And to invoke MLK is beyond irresponsible.

  21. When Did White Liberals Get a Race Card

  22. White Liberals Are The Worst

  23. Hilarious watching him destroy another liberal reporter on the news. And you wonder why the American people don’t trust “mainstream” media

  24. Dasha was so unprofessional during this interview. It was mainly her getting emotional and telling her opinions instead of listening to his responses without interruption

  25. Demolished this puppet trying to make Vivek upset and receives a lashing of truth that ruined her career.

  26. He’s ABSOLUTELY right. It’s obvious racism is too “wonderful” a tool that plays on the gullible and impressionable to let go of. If you are wondering who is wielding it…look no further than your national media and state universities; follow the money and X marks the spot.

    It’s absolutely disgraceful what these men and women are doing to our nation and other nations over the earth.

  27. As black man I agree 💯with Vivek. I am going to vote for VIVEK 🙏🙏

  28. You can’t deny he speaks a lot of sense, it’s just a shame that woman wasn’t interested in hearing it.
