  • "in an african dialect"... Can't they just tell us what language it is !?

  • LOOK YOU STUPID WOMEN, TEH ALW IS NO RACIST, WHO ARE TEH PEOPLE TO FEAR DRUGY OF CRACK OR COCAINE, THE CRACK USER ARE MROE DANGEROUS, I HAVE MORE PROBLEM FROM BLACK OFFENDER THEN RICH WHITE PEOPLE ON COCAINE

  • Why don't they elaborate on how the government sold crack cocaine (cocaine was shipped from Nicuragua) to young black men and teenagers during Reganomics. I'm not trying to justify any illegal activity, but I do believe in telling the WHOLE story.

  • When are they going to do white man in America, so we can see how he KILLED

    HIS WAY TO THE TOP.

  • this documentary so far aint enlightening at all. most of the stuff they're saying is known statistics and events associated with Blacks that even most non-Blacks are aware of (even if only a little bit). they did a hell of a lot better job with the Latino in America documentary!

  • why couldn't they get a regular ordinary narrator?

  • um sick of this dude that's narrating this documentary at the beginning wit his poet/reverend type voice and vibe

  • god this realy makes me feel like my life upcoming is going to suck

  • I get how certain laws are racist, but seriously, if something is illegal THEN IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT IF YOU DO IT. This isn't slavery where innocent people were rounded up. If you don't break the law, then you don't go to jail (even if you think the law is unfair). I think it's bullshit that marijuana is illegal, but I don't sell it, smoke it or carry it around

  • @yankees032778 Not Illeagel Where i am!!!!LOL

  • the reporter said in an "african dialect" the fact that an established network like CNN couldn't even be bothered to identify the specific african language just sums up America and the ignorance in which Americans live in. This whole documentary is biased, you would never here them refer to a European Language as a European dialect.

  • I'm a black man, and a new nurse. I was the only black man in my class, and the only nurse from my class that is STILL unemployed. They tell me I don't have enough experience, but they hire my white classmates. I am a 8 year military vet, I've served in Iraq. My wife is still military, but we are threatened to have our electricity cut off. As a man, what do you think I will do if my power goes out when its 30 degrees outside?? WHATEVER I HAVE TO!! Im a compassionate person, but family 1st

  • @obscure323 Oh god see you people think you are the only ones that go through shit. I have Been laid off work Since 2009... But I find side jobs, And yes it helps Plus my wife works. If you walk into any hospital You will get a job. one thing I have learned the med. field is not racist at all. And thank you for Serving Our country. And as far as your electric goes There are people that Will help Churches,Welfare, Etc etc. And because your wife is military still she can Ask them for help!

  • @scooterdod You really can't be that naive to think that getting a job is as easy for whites as it is for blacks? I'm not asking for any handouts or any sympathy from white people I'm just asking them to be realistic. The reality is that things are not equal even in this day and age.

  • Im 14 years old and I think that it is beautiful that the man found God and got off of crack, but it is incredibly sad that he doesnt have a relationship with his daughter or grandkids, Im never going to do drugs.

  • @obscure323 THAT THE BIGGEST EXCUSE A BLACK BARSTARD MAKES, I HEARD THAT BEFORE U DIDN;T WRITE THAT THAT FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO SAY WHEN THEY WANT T OGET AWAY WITH SHIT

  • What about a show about the negatives side of white America,we will never see it will we?

    these shows all have one purpose and its not to help the black community.Black people wake up,look deeper into the purpose of the media

  • @4patrickcharles White or black you have a choice to live a life of crime or live your life for the greater pourpose. I know some white peolpe that live and act worse then Blacks.. BUT it is not about race,, It is about how you want to live your life! And black men go to prison because they deserve to go to prison! they commited a crime Just like whites do! And no they are not Innocent black men rounded up and taken to jail! Do the crime do the time, This is BULL SHIT! ! !

  • @scooterdod OMG!!!!!!!! Are you serious? Ok can't respond to your post anymore because I realize you have not done any research to back any of your claims you just say things that you think you know base on your individual situation....good day sir...I bid good day! but just for shits and giggles...did you not hear when they said that more black men where going to jail with longer sentences for crack than the white suburbanites for cocaine? I agree. they deserved jail....both do!

  • @qtfromny26 Listen where I come from Cocaine has a zero Tolerance,,, A white man with a rock and a black man with a rock will get the same Time,,, I have seen it with my own eyes. And you know what? know one ever Realizes that these people are REPEAT offenders...... No one ever looks at the Whole picture, they take what they can use and leave the FACTS!

  • @qtfromny26 What do you mean research? Why should I have to research it when Fact's are in our faces? Have you ever Broken the law before? SHOW me the proof Of a One time offender White and black Man, women,Etc.,,, Side by side that got caught with the same amount of narcotic,,, But did not get the same amount of time! I want your Proof!! Not because some one said it happens,,, I want to see it!

  • What about a show about the negatives%2

  • Why don't they talk about all the great black MEN,that's doing great in America and making it,they wont because there's no money in it,but by constantly showing the negative side of black people,there making money and these negative images are being absorb by the community to further destroy it.Wake UP!!!!my strong beautiful Black people Wake UP!!!

  • @4patrickcharles You say by constantly showing the negative side of black people!! You people are doing a good enough job! And the ones that are living the GhettoTastic life is what gives Black people a bad name. Yes white people do the same too! And black people Make there choices.. They dont have to smoke rocks, Sell drugs, Make babys and not pay for them, Shoot and rob people, Carjacking ,etc etc. You as black man have a choice just like the rest of us! White or black!

  • thank for uploading this

  • its funny everything about black men is negative on t.v. even this look at the title.is this what being black in america is about? david chapelle woke up they cant put him back in the matrix for nothing

  • Its all a set up, a TRAP, Wake up! Slavery aint dead! B strong

  • @36Godbless its not dead and now they enslave the poor of any color.

  • @REAL88E YEA U DEF RIGHT! SMH

  • @36Godbless God is the only answer not man or women regardless of skin tone.

  • talk like you guys are smart assholes pretend to debate on this when you step out that door you know you won't give a fuck about this because you guys suck

  • the dude with the glasses looks like chris brown.

  • nearly 1,000,000 black men in jail? THAT IS A LIE! THERE IS ABOUT 106,000 BLACK MEN IN JAIL! WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU GET 1,000,000 FROM!

  • Funny, because meth is extremely dangerous. More even dangerous than crack--I'd say 10 times as worst, but you never see CNN try to demonize the majority of caucasians who do it.

  • What is THE most devastating event EVER in American history?

    SLAVERY.....

    WHY, because slave trader's forced black's here to America and even their own tribal leaders sold them off to the slave trader's for profit.

    America will NEVER, EVER live down slavery. It costs American taxpayers billions & billions of dollars every year and it will NEVER, EVER end!

    Just imagine America WITHOUT black's, wouldn't it be just wonderful!

    Bobbie Dooley, history teacher Western Estates High

  • I think it's safe to say that most black students have had a teacher or two who have questioned their intelligence just because they're black. That shit hurts.

  • yeah it does suck... people are people its just how we use intelligence it is hurtful

  • @lavinder11 just them thinking blacks are not smart effects the way they teach us. now that may be to deep 4 you but think about it. the subconcious is a m.f.

  • @REAL88E

    Yeah, that's too deep for me...

  • @lavinder11 you will understand as you wake up. example the title suggest that being black in america is like these guys. in fact most of the millions of black men are hard working and never was criminals or addicts but see they dont phocus much attention on the heroes of the black community especially blk men. they never offer solutions from real blk men. all they keep saying is45 mins. of negative and about 1 minuette of positive now what do you think people will remember about blk men?

  • @REAL88E

    I was being sarcastic.

  • @lavinder11 Yep. It's easy to say he's dumb, or can't do anything--maybe have LD. I told my teacher I wanted to become a Computer Engineer, or Programmer. She looked at me with disgust, or if I'll never become one.

  • @visionimagify

    What's LD? I hope you're on your way to becoming an engineer/programmer. I'm getting my Masters in chemistry right now, so suck it Mrs. Davis!

  • @lavinder11 Learning disability. I admit, I have one and don't really like bringing it up. But I'll try atleast to diminish it.

  • @lavinder11 Learning Disability I believe.

  • @lavinder11 STFU you don't think it does not happen to white people either? God you are Blind!

  • And crack did not rob him of his life! He chose to Smoke it . NO ONE WHITE GAVE IT TO HIM. His own people sold it to him. Man every thing is a choice it is what choice are you going to make! white or black it is still a choice that ONLY YOU CAN MAKE! So I take it the white man is responable for this too?

  • @scooterdod

    And where in my comments did I say it doesn't happen to white people??

  • @lavinder11 I never said that!

  • @scooterdod No. the white man is not responsible for them using it but YES. the white man is responsible for providing and creating it. but the issue is not in the blame but in what YOU are doing as a human being to help....is the answer is nothing. then shut up...this goes for both black and white people.

  • @qtfromny26 Well see there goes your Ignorance, U Show me a Cocaine Field That is Grown By a White man, .Also last time I checked South America is where this Product is "PRODUCED" ! So again Other hen them selves How is the White man Responsible?

  • @lavinder11 why would it hurt, it would amuse a intelegent black man if he was questioned in his intelegence if you think about it because he would be a proud man

  • @lavinder11 You're right. Or they give us back-handed compliments when we show we're smart.

  • I don't want to sound rude, but can you organize these videos more clearly. They have different titles.

  • IT'S either find piece in AFRICA-GHANA ....or stay as a COMMODITY for the HONKEY ELITE !!!!

    PRISION IS ON THE STOCK MARKET NOW !!!

  • joseph phillip's views are so ignorant compared to the harvard guys objectivity that I feel embarassed for him.

  • American King James Version

    Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

  • dammmmn a million niggas in jail

  • 4:47 is a total clown. Not all of us upper middle class Black people think like him. He obivously has no clue what's it's like in the hood, when you can't find a job.

  • @Brownfox1981 I agree, he's clueless. I do agree that you shouldn't sell the drug, but the environment influences this.

  • @visionimagify Of course this clown is clueless. Lt. Kendall has no clue what it's like to grow up dirt poor. Don't get me wrong nobody should commit crimes. However when nobody is hiring and rent is due you have to do what you have to do. Unless you have been in a position where your back is against the wall keep your mouth shut. Your opinion mean nothing!!

  • " better than sex"?. this mother fucker must still be on crack. lmao

  • white people did it to the chinese empire, so why not blacks?

  • The drug laws may or may not be racist, but they certainly are ignorant. It's coming back to haunt white communities with an increase in crystal meth. They thought there would never be a "white people's" equivalent of crack, but now there is.

    Parenting is the only answer to this problem. The second one is birth control. Men who can't control their habits need to consider vasectomy.

  • True. I am a white former police officer and there was no major outcry to go after drugs until it started to affect white kids plain and simple.

  • "It was better than sex." i lol'ed.

  • lets stop the ignorance european people are dont have any civlized or humble traits they might do rightful but their not humble or civilized as people

  • muziq99- Am I understanding you correctly? You believe that european ppl are an un-civilized, non humble group of people?Do yo know what civilization is? Do you know ALL white ppl? You must to make such a broad statement, or maybe I;m just misunderstanding your position.

  • Not only bring in but use the most drugs as well. But our society thanks in large part to our media likes promote the war on drugs by constantly showing "minorities" being imprisoned the most for illegal drugs.

  • STats please, stats! Where do you get your stats?

  • So it sounds to me that you don't think black people commit any crimes and none deserve to go to jail. Am I right or wrong? White people aren't forcing the hands of black people to sell drugs, use drugs, or commit crimes.

  • Your wrong. Black people commit crimes. White people commit more crime in the US but black & Hispanics are convicted 10x over. Most of those crimes are drug related NON-violent crimes. Its either for possession use or selling.

    *Laws that are changed to convict more blacks. *Rehabilitation is sabotaged. You can not get financial aid to go to school. You can not vote you can not get a job due to pass incarceration.

  • I'm sorry but a criminal shouldn't be eligible to get financial aid, nor should they be able to vote. They MADE a decision which led to their incarseration. Why should I help some ex-con financially through school when their are tons of other kids who have made way better decision and they need financial aid? From the research I did I found that black people commit more crimes than white people. Where did you get your figures?

  • So you are telling me that you do NOT believe reformed.

    Once you make a mistake you should not be forgiven. Or a chance to start over?!?

    With a mentality like that you & law makers create the problems & do not look for a resolution.

    Dept of Justice I'm not on my computer right now so I do not have the link. Send me a reminder to my inbox. If you look at the PT.3 2 & 5 of Black Men in America you'll see how disfunctional the law is when it comes to blacks.

  • No I don't think most people are reformed upon exiting prison. Most go back. Yes if you stay out of prison you should be given another chance depending on why you were ido something pretty bad to be locked up, and I don't think someone who has killed someone should have the right to ever vote again. In fact I don't think that person should ever be allowed out of prison. What is your resolution for hardened criminals?

  • Quit trying to diverge from the issue, nobody likes criminals, especially black people, since they are MOST affected by them.

  • What issue am I trying to avoid?  The video is about people in prison and their life when they get out, that is what I am talking about. What should I be talking about?

  • That the prison demographic doesn't correlate with the national crime demographic.

  • Where do you get your statistics? I am assuming you are saying that white people commit more crimes than black people and yet there are more black people in prison?

  • Do we need statistics for that? That sounds like common sense to me.

  • rdokoye- How do you figure, "that sounds like common sense." Without statistics what a person says is just opinion. Statistics are obtained by an independent group doing research. If you can't state facts and back it up with then you are simply blowing in the wind. P.S. I don't think you will find statistics to back up what you are saying. But I will definitly consider any facts you present.

  • Your not serious!

  • I noticed you are from the U.K. do you live their or the U.S., because they are two different places? The U.S. has alot more black people in the event you didn't know that. Your one of those people I will never get an answer out of aren't you, you will just beat around the bush all day long, just taking up time trying to stir up controversy?

  • Yea and there's a lot more white people in America, what's your point?

  • rdokoye- I'll get it short like you answer my questions. Are you really that thick headed?

  • What are you on about? Go away!

  • rdokoye- You are calling me the crazy one and the one who should go away? You confronted me and I have answered all your questions with more than 4 words. You on the other hand have done nothing to present your case, so you should put up or shut up.

  • Go away, I don't debate with delusional folk.

  • rdokoye- How do you figure I'm delusional? Do you have anything to back up your ideas? If you don't then you are the one who is delusional, not me. Do you or have you ever lived in the states? If so what state did you live in?

  • rdokoye-Did a cat bite your tongue or are you just at a loss for words?

  • Are you a white person?

  • Are you a black person?

  • Answer my question first and I'll answer yours.

  • what does the color of my skin have to do with anything? Maybe I'm white, asian, hispanic, or black, what of it? That should not make a difference on facts.

  • It means a lot, now answer my question please.

  • First of all you have unanswered questions from me, go back to when you called me delusional and you will be reminded of what I asked you.

  • I want to know who I'm talking to beforehand.

  • I refuse to continue this dialogue based on the color of my skin. You and others such as yourself can continue to blame "the white man" for your problems and difficulties. Which by the way is getting you no where.  Get an education, don't commit crimes, and get a job and everything will be okay. There are too many successful black people that have come before you to continue pointing the finger. Good day to you and best of luck.

  • LOL!

  • Why am I not surprised by your uneducated response? You are a child and it is time to grow up. Learn how to state facts not just opinions. Also learn how to answer questions with more than 4 words. As usual you have no answers to questions or opinions just ridiculous rhetoric. I will bet you are broke as can be and your life is constantly filled with calamity. How do I know you ask? Your kind are all the same, just trying to stir up trouble and blame others for your problems! Get a JOB!

  • LolWhats my kind?

  • I must add, that was a pretty vivid tale, I was almost touched.

  • Mr Nobody who spends his time rambling on about issues pertaining to the black community, I ask why?

  • First off I am not rambling about the black community. When will color not be an issue and we just all treat eachother like human beings? Second. Your kind are the ones that bitch and moan all the time about how tough their life is and they don't do anything to try and make it better. i.e.-get an education and get a job. Third. That was no tale I told just my opinion which you haven't even tried to prove me wrong on.

  • Whats with the prejudice anecdotes? Your perception of me is way of, is that how you perceive black people to be or rather the vast majority of us?

    We live in a colour conscious society/world; it would be foolish and potentially dangerous for someone like me to think otherwise.

    Im surmising, the world you live in everything is fair, but thats not my reality, how can you address issues on a group of people you do not understand?

  • When did I ever use the word black person or people? Did I ever classify you as a black person? No. Don't you think society should not see color, that was my point. If all of us did not see color wouldn't this world be alot better? When did I ever say the world I live in is fair? I didn't. When did I ever say that I am not black? Did I say what race I am? No. You are just stereotyping me based on my responses! What is your solution? More wellfare, reperations, what do you want?

  • The world would be a better place if people didnt see colour, but they do, a system of colour coding human beings was put in place long before I was born and I suspect itll still be around after Im dead. As a black man, Im not the person you should be talking to about issues pertaining to equality, why dont you take that up with those that enforce inequality (non-black people).

  • There you go, blaming "the white man" for your problems and the problems of black people! Oh I'm sorry you don't have any problems, please forgive me. What are you doing watching this vid which doesn't pertain to you? So what you are in effect saying is that black people can't be racist? Am I correct? Yes non-black people have done stupid, ignorant things to promote in-equality, but it's not just non-black people anymore doing those things. Do you live in the states? I suspect you don't.

  • Youre very strange, who is the white man?

  • What in the heck are you talking about? Are my questions to complex for you? Are you collaberating with some of your buddies to put your answers and questions together?

  • Yes, thats it; your questions are too complex for me. Have a nice day, cheerio

  • I figured you would be like all the rest, who bitch and complain and yet they never have any resolution to the situaion. Your just like the rest, all b.s. and no real answers. Good luck in Jolly Old!

  • Answer my question are you a white person?

  • Not to but into this conversation but I must say that I am white and I disagree with your stance. Blacks have always tried to make their lives better either through education or occupation and everytime they have tried it has been our race that has denied them. So I understand why blacks bitch and moan. They have been in this country since 1619 and there is no way in hell they should be in the position they are in. When they tried to make strides they were beaten back down.

  • I never said ALL black ppl bitch and moan and don't try to make their lives better!! Some ceratinly do try to make themselves a better person but some don't, some just try and milk the system. Yes some black ppl are treated badly by white ppl but not all are treated unfairly. I think Chicago is a poor example of the states as a whole, from which you stand on your position.

  • @edavismookie25 THANK YOU!!!!

  • It seems to me you are trying to blame others for the situation you are in, that baffels me. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions. The man in this video committed a crime, should he not have gone to jail? All I am trying to do is understand why people like you want to milk the system and put a strain on those of us who get an education, a job, and don't commit any crimes. Why is that so hard for you to understand? 'm trying to change the way some people think? s that so wrong?

  • If you want to know the particulars of my situation, just ask, dont speculate. As I said before your perception of me is way off and it speaks volumes of you as a person. I seriously doubt you are black, I suspect you are a white person based on the ignorant rhetoric you continuously spew.

  • your right I did speculate on your situation, I apologize for being incorrect, but usually the people that put up a fight and say things such as what you have said are in the situation that I spoke of. Do tell, what ignorant rhetoric are you saying I am constantly spewing? My color, by the way, matters not, as I am a well educated human being with the ability to observe all.

  • If your colour doesnt matter why wont you tell me who you are, Im a black man are you a white man?

    I feel as though you are being deliberately deceptive by withholding your identify, for what reason I dont know.

  • If I tell you my color will that make my points more valid, invalid, or will it not reflect either way? I think you will say my points are even more invalid then you already do.

  • You think; youre really fond of speculating arent you?

  • Well yes the crime should fit the punishment. I feel if you drowned some 1 you should be drowned to too feel how that person died. But I'm a Christian & 2 wrongs do not make a right. Especially man should not take another mans life if his is NOT threatened.

    It all depends on the nature of the crime. I feel you should not have the right to vote if you tried to over throw the goverment. I feel you should not get finacial aid if you tried to blow up, steal from a school. Let's be fair.

  • @bikerskierboarrder we all are harden crimals you like me and everyone else. some just get caught you heartless

  • @REAL88E sorry mate but I'm no hardened criminal. When you make a choice, good or bad, be prepared for the consequences. How exactly am I heartless? Is it because I believe if you commit a crime, you should do the time regardless of colour?

  • @bikerskierboarrder No you are not heartless you are just Ignorant to the reality that for the same crime we are not doing the same time and that is the problem.

  • The guy from the cosby show says it all. If you don't want to go to jail don't commit a crime.

  • The guy from that show is a coon ass house nigger who just touches the surface of the problem with out facing the cause of it. He just attacks the obvious problem then blows it out of proportion. Making black people look like senseless criminals.

  • No white people do NOT make black people sell or use drugs. But they make sure that they suffer more for the same crime countless white get charged for. That creates the present problem. Si its not like back in the 1700's. they once again use laws & sneak tactics to hurt the Black/ Hispanic communities.

  • No white people do not make black people sell/use drugs but they sure don't have a problem bringing it into their communities. Trust me I am a white ex cop from chicago.

  • edavismookie25- Are white ppl in your opinion the only ones bringing the drugs into black communities? Just curious.

  • No. Of course not. They are not the only ones but they are the vast majority! 2 am in the morning southside of chicago car full of white kids? Huh?I wonder what they are doing here.....

  • REally, whites bring in the most drugs? Where do you get your stats? Please try not use stats from chicago alone, america is not made up only by chicago!

  • @bikerskierboarrder well when white people makes the law for black men to go to jail what choice do we have take powder cocaine vs crack cocaine thats really a white vs black thing in large you get a unbeliveable if your on crack
