Ava DuVernay Talks Central Park Five Based Series, Criminal Injustice + More 

Yes she is a gem!

We must protect ourselves from Ava at all costs.

@@pseudeanym lol🙂

T Knight what lmfao

Shut up

Girl when I tell you they can have all my coins! 😩😂! And Hulu is following behind.

Yes! Good point. Good job Netflix

💯. Netflix has produced amazing black content like The Get Down for Hip Hop heads like me and 13th that really made me aware of the sinister aspects of the Constitution.

True

She's a double agent

Mariah Avon haven’t seen that but after looking at the series I can see how

Mine as well

@Lashawn Reid how can you say that? This Netflix movie only touched the surface of what he went through. His actual experience was way worse.

@@planbmindset9475 Bingo, it didnt touch on the true horror he went through, my heart ached for all of them but heart truly ached for him.

That part..wow😢

Johan.j 🙌🏽

YESSSS!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Johan.j 💯 I love that 🙏🏾✨

Powerful

Johan.j indeed we do

Facts

Jharrel Jerome Too. He played the hell out of that part.

I felt like there were too many holes in the story. I wanted to know what prison life was like for the 5. How were they treated behind bars by the other inmates considering they were precieved rapists! Rapists and pedos are always treated the worst in penitentiaries

I can’t watch it. I was 18, too close to home. It’ll just trigger me and I already hate Trump enough. I remember all of it.

Emmy*

Ghost I just watched episode 4 AGAIN and cried just like I did the very first time. It’s HEARTBREAKING 😢

100% facts, he was compelling, for the lack of a better word.

Yeah cause you obviously care about black children using lame hashtags.

I am so sorry that happened to your cousin

RajOfColumbus wtf wrong with your hateful ass!??? Negative ass!

@@kelsblair5963 he's an idiot. Look at his page..lol

All of them,it really hurts for every story told and untold...

YES!

Yess! He’s becoming one of my favorite actors. Super talented

That brother is GIFTED

Yes he was absolutely amazing

He played the shit out that role omg

REAL SHIT !!!! I FELT SO BAD FOR HIM.......THEY ALL WERE EFFECTED BUT WISE EVEN MORE SO !

It was awful watching this 😞😭

Sharon Wong I cried so much but you should watch it to see their story it’s important

I felt so sorry for them & the family's

@Sharon Wong please watch. I have a 5 month old I needed to watch this. Just to let you know once you watch your gonna watch again and again. This is necessary

TreaVahn Hubbard yes! I loved that too.

Marci was played by Isis that was on America Next Top Model. She still looks good she was my fav

Tiffani Green yes but that would be heavier than anything she’s ever done

I wish. The city needs that for real. My cousins was lost when I told them about it.

YES!

Yesss ! And also the story of Emmet Till

Yesssss

Exactly

Yessssss

Thank you for re-breaking that down! It's just crazy, God bless those men.

Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary explains it beautifully....She shows a picture of the lynching of a Black man with a young White girl standing by the body with, what seems to be, her father. The child had a smirk on her face as if the hanging, dead body, had no effect on her. But if you would have brought out a puppy and stomped its head, the child would possibly need therapy. Dr. Leary pointed it as one of the ways White America dehumanized their own children by dehumanizing Black people through lynchings....A Black life is worth less than a dogs.

@@lew708 Yeah, I've seen that satisfaction or pure glee multiple times on photos of lynchings. So much sickness. They DEMONstrate why Malcolm X, at one time, called them devils.

Breezeme105 does it involve money?

God doesn’t exist

All glory

@@OGMillyMillz_ good question.

@@reeldeal2149 one love

Queen sugar is amazingg

Big dem up!

Amen bring it!!

That is right, finance and do your own fuckin movies and stop leeching on white created Hollywood.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

They should've received way more in my opinion.

Hopefully this movie can give them opportunities for books etc seminars to make more pain can fuel passion

EACH‼️‼️‼️

@@mspayne32 I absolutely agree!

@@ciaras3170 that's what I said;)

Right! What I don't understand is, if in the jogger's mind these boys were guilty, Matias Reyes, the real rapist, went on to continue to rape more women after the kids were arrested. If the cops did their jobs correctly more women would not have been raped and a woman and her unborn baby would not be dead. Reyes was considered a loner, he would not have raped anyone with these kids. Why, hasn't she looked into all of the facts herself, wouldn't she want justice? She should have been suing the city right alongside the young men who were wronged. There are always too many White people (not all) who are always on the wrong side of history when things should be more clear to them.

I sort of agree but I won't speak ill of the jogger. What she went through was traumatic. And she only taking in what people on her side are telling her. You gonna believe them or your kind?

@@promissemariysi7073 but were they really on her side if they coerced and beat these boys into confessions to quickly close this case? There was no DNA found on the boys at all, but Reyes was a complete match! There were two rapes that we know of before her and five that took place after her. They finally caught Reyes in August 1989. Her rape happened in April of 1989. The prosecutor and detectives never took a step back and said we are still finding women who are being bound and beat in the same manner as the jogger something is wrong. If she looked at Korey's confession he changes some of the events several times. I will not bash her, but if they were really on her side they would have worked to get the right killer and not sweep this under the rug, cause it's easier to pin this on under age Black kids. Everyone goes on with their lives to much success and her life plus the kids are destroyed. She is a motivational speaker now. What exactly is she speaking on if she is not interested in the full truth?

@@atlantabrooklyngal I don't think you realize it's not about sides and helping the jogger. The jogger is one incident and I agree, they could have done a better job with this whole investigation. However, the police unfortunately do not work like law and order or strategically like Criminal minds. I wish they did. Unfortunately they work on a case by case basis. Unless events clearly link up (which what you mentions obviously does but they had their head in their ass) they cannot make that judgement call and probably won't. Especially if such and such person like that investigator has too much ego and is unwilling to change their focus. We need to protect ourselves from the police and know what we should and shouldn't do or say around them. That is more than evident since I watched this. I know my rights and I will definitely teach my children to be aware if I have my own.

@@lilmonstahh23 I didn't say they were on her side per say, I am posing a question based on what someone else said.

I was just thinking the same thing. I love unique voices and I especially love hearing the raspy ones for some reason.

That kinda voice takes you places..you'll be hallucinating and shit

RIGHT! Its so calming to me for some reason. Beautiful.

More like nasally

@@chevyDboyMike Lol Ive heard her in other interviews, she doesnt normally sound nasally

Jharrel Jerome was phenomenal.

I cried Nd cried Nd cried... Korey's story was really sad...

That's the absolute truth.

It was fiction

God, PLEASE continue to BLESS and COVER AVA DUVERNAY🙏🏾❣️

As Common said on ‘Misunderstood’, sometimes “You Getta getta getta God questioning” when you see these type of injustices in the raw😢🙏🏾‼️ WE ADULTS CAN’T HIDE FROM THIS; WE HAVE TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN HOW TO HANDLE THEMSELVES IN THESE TYPE SITUATIONS🤔

Amen

Dear Lord, please protect AVA Duvernay.... thank you in advance, AMEN!!!

What is it with black people and the word "queens"? 99.999% of you are the descendants of commoners, not of royalty.

Count me in! I wish that all African Americans would become successful (contributors of society): entrepreneurs, corporate jobs, or blue collar, etc. We should completely change how we govern ourselves. I know it's easier said than done.

A DEMON IS A DEMON! IS A DEMON! IS A DEMON! AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN THEM!

beanie0112 exactly they are shameless. Selling their souls for almost nothing. The same people they grovel to don’t even like them and I’m about 100% sure they talk bad about and laugh at them in private.

@beanie0112 FACTS, but i also believe in free-thinking. I don't agree with either of them or their views on Trump, but i have to allow them to think for themselves, you know.. Their paths are their own, not anyone else's. I can only hope that they find the light they're in search of.

Amen 🙌

Amen!

These stories need to be told because even in 2019, these underling things still exist in our society. Since Donald Trump been elected its been more overt, but we can't forget its still there.

They are doing an Emmit Till movie? Oh snap.

saturncrush yes, Taraji P Henson is one of the executive producers and is set to play Emmett’s mother in the movie. Also John Singleton was part of it too. They are about to start filming

@@smileyzt1641This is so exciting. Thanks for the 411. I hope that Harriet Tubman movie is on tap. That is going to be an amazing one as well.

Too bad they are told years after but they still happen. It is good that some of these are told in the fictional and/or documentary space

Marisol Foronda yes!

Lois M Say it again!

Exactly!! 💯💯💯

@@korypeoples5462 No a horror story. I believe Edgar Allen Poe wrote horror because he saw slavery in Baltimore and convinced himself there was something more horrific. He was wrong.

Lmao ikr facing away from each other and errthang

Yasss, I noticed that too!!

Lol them dolls looking like one of their mamas done bussed in the room 🤣🤣

@@sistamaryclarence 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭

Lmaoaoaoa i gotta start paying attention to the little details in the room every interview. Yall catch the different set ups, with the dolls for example every interview and it's hilarious 🤣🤣

Ama Kinati and he did ❤️

@@lunataina7795 Yes and he beat out some top flight competition.

timemac12 .

Hilarious

M_Fari I guess he figured that could’ve happened to him or his kids

Surprisingly😂😂💀💀

MAYBE ANGELA YEE let him use her notes & questions LOL

He's good when he cares about an issue

He really did, I was pleasantly surprised! 😂

but his father was a police officer.

@@jjuanramon4288 Yeah that's interesting

jjuan ramon That Still Doesn’t Mean They Are Your Friends.

so who do you call when you get in a car accident, or someone breaks in your home, or you get robbed, you call your friends of the police. Granted there are horrible cops, but not all are bad.

@@jjuanramon4288 Call paramedics for an accident.

@Lashawn Reid That's not true! Don't diss Yee like that. Do you know how many "strong women" Yee supports and is supported by???? If you really want to know do some research.

Absolutely hopefully they get them up there

Duh like where they cash app at?😂

Yea God please allow them a public outlet to vindicate themselves.

Shannon Davis me to

The last episode took me all the way out.

Girl I cried like 20 times. smh And Korey's story hit DIFFERENT!

I have never cried because of the content of a movie....... Until this one! 😓

So, did I!!! Korey Wise touched my heart so. I actually thought that he would have taken his life.

@Steve W You created your YT troll account just to post insensitive comments, am I right? (Psst...We See You. 😉)

@ They take a knee because it's their right and the died for that bullshit flag too and can even whipe their asses with it if they wish to.

@Steve W Whatever, coward. We See You.

Essomo Serge Did you see the film BIRTH OF A NATION starring Nate Parker the slave revolt led by Nat Turner he did a interview on The Breakfast Club and he said that the cops are descendents of slave catchers in the '1800s

@John Coppers Idiot, DNA evidence exonorated them. The real rapist was a Mexican guy who DNA later matched to him.

Have you seen Queen Sugar?

You don’t know her soul

@@citylights3452 Her work reflects and project her soul, so shut up fancy pants before I delete you in public

@@trashypine6198 Of course, why would I be commenting on a person whose work I haven't seen?

@@dragonfly4484 ok shang tsung apparently you're a soul reader

Well said.

Yes yes yasssss girl! I was going to say the same but had to chk and see if anyone else noticed the same! Good looking out🤛🏾

We know who’ll play her in a biopic!!

Omg that's why my brain kept glitching

MlSSFIT yes.....that's who lol wow

I always Google them side by side.

Sapri Dozier absolutely✨

Sorry this happened to you man smh

Can you sue? I hope you can get compensated. Blessings to you!

Sue the state

😥😥😥😥😥😥

Sad! We get no Justice. This is why we really need God on our side. Blessings. 🙏

Just Me 💯💯💯

Korey wise doesn’t consider himself cp5 he said its Central Park 4 plus 1

Dennis Marshall 4 plus 1 is 5 .. Central Park 5

Yes I would love to hear Korey Wise!

Its MxGinnis The reason Korey Wise feel he the 4 plus 1 instead Central Park 5 because he was never on the list who they choose to be questioned. He only got brung in because he went to the police station with his friend for support. Where they able to put fear and beat him to lie on the others because the story never wasn’t going to stick. Plus no evidence. Therefore him being 16 yrs old they can question him without a parent. He was never the Central Park 4 now “5”.

@sorue, YES WE WILL, but when will black men start protecting black women?????!🤔 I'll wait

@@wegotthis973 if you're waiting for those black men that are celebrities or athletes or musicians that are well off and very Influential, then it's gonna be a wait.. very long wait, us blue collar black men, we always support our black women. My family's men and my friends we always support our women. We go over looked because we're normal regular, no flash no front no sensationalism. Just plain and true. Some of Our women tend to seek praise adulation approval and support from those black men that they judge are better than us regular guys. So it may feel like you're getting no support, maybe if you shift focus a bit, you'll see you have more than enough of the support you will ever need. Good day queen Respect ❤

Sorue Poscendo did you purposely try to start some drama with the gender distinction? Black Men & Black Women need to be united because we are more efficient when we are.

@Niqui H Yes, yes. Have to never forget the ones who gone before us and took the brunt of the evil and malicious actions perpetrated upon on our people because of our color.

Wow your so right

That’s deep

!!!!!!!!!

Thats what I imagined too! Korey's story hit so differently! I cried like 15 times from his part alone smh

Sad and they went home went to bed and lived 30yrs knowing they did that to them black young men.

Amirr iam Kalief Browder was only 14😔

it breaks my heart.

Alexandra Smith he got out at like 29

The privilege has ego built in. Her goal was to protect HER people, someone she felt like could have been her, by any means necessary - and KNEW she would be heard because theyre used to getting their way, regardless of being wrong. She was disgustingly vengeful. White privilege is soooooo dangerous. smfh

What made me so mad was that there was no evidence that they did it and none of the dna matched

Not only linda even the fucking raped victim didn't care even if she made a book from it and made money from it

They were willing to change the time frame to make it stick!!

@@fabfati facts and too this day she still says those men raped her but cant remember anything that happened that night

@Stuck in the 90s she is so much more then just fine.. she has a beautiful mind..God Bless her...🙏

The dolls are mad at each other today. They are not facing each other. They have their backs turn. Don’t worry they will be back at it soon.

when envy said he clean up that is the first thing I looked for and that is sooo true lol :)

They cleaned up when Common was there. The dolls were not appropriate for the subject matter they were discussing.

You dirty girl.

Msboochie2 Al Sharpton was there about a month ago and the dolls were in sex act mode and the discussion was not related to the dolls inappropriate behavior 🤷‍♂️ Also many other guest as well.

Great question.

And sue trump too. For calling them to executed

Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I hope some one put that buzz in their ears.

i watched the abc documentary and apparently out of 250 articles only 12 used the word 'alleged'

Rhianne McCalla wow !

I see your comments on way too many of the videos I look at on here

And??? Is this some how hurting or hindering you in any way shape or form?

@@CandieP lol😁

If you're reading this, I hope u have a bless day Candie P

Timothy Goodwyn Thank you, and God Bless you Timothy 😘

There's a lot of sisters who exude a similar essence. May more of them be so seen and found to be invaluable 🙏🏽💫🌻

And to think, it happens all the time. Countless people have likely been *executed* for crimes they didn't commit (14 yo George Stinnett comes to mind)

Raven Gill Of course they are going to hold on to the lie because acknowledging the true would mean they would have to face the fact that they destroyed five innocent lives.

White people have never had a moral compass.....

That’s white people for you. Smh.

That's what they do, brutalize, destroy, and then say, what's the matter or its your fault, when they've caused the dis-ease. They are completely detached from accountability

Girl them men been doing interviews for years, the breakfast club knew about them and never asked them to come......so why now , go watch some old ones

Why

The criminal INJustice system...😢

that series was amazing

✊🏾

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Let's not throw around the word "black" like that

RajOfColumbus wha????

RajOfColumbus you’re a crackhead. FOH. Both her parents and grandparents are black.

@@MH-et4bo this man called me a crackhead, oh my gah

RajOfColumbus so what are you on if not crack?

I thought the same but there maybe time constraints ( its too late)

But shouldn’t the time frame be thrown out since they were in prison for years?

@@misskosar Add Pat Buchanan as well he said that Korey should have been lynched in Central Park.

Mark Stevens Nobody will go near Fairstein and her books she was kicked off some board at a school.

Dwight Love not familiar with that name, who was he?

@@misskosar He is a POLITICAL COMMENTATOR WHO'S CONSERVATIVE go to WIKIPEDIA

Dwight Love will have a look. I’m British so don’t know too much about the Americans on that front.

Awiggins64 must have a crappy android if your screen is on fire.

Me too!

Awiggins64 ME TOO!!!!!

@@OGMillyMillz_ lol... only those who know get it. 🍎Always behind the pack.

Stop using the word "queen" so loosely like that. Ain't no queens or kings here knock it off it is annoying.

Mozzie L. Ok now y’all reaching one is a baby that hasn’t done anything wrong and the other is a most likely guilty horrific killer

JokerTheGoat ひ most likely a killer? And if you believe pro life then it's all life, not picking and choosing

@@jokerthegoat8937 we dont know what the baby will grow up to be and it shouldn't matter to prolife people. If you are for life then you shouldnt be for the death penalty.

@Open Ranks how is that ignorant? I'm prettt sure if we knew what babies would be like in the future some prolifers would have a different pov. They say how the baby is innocent. Yes the baby is innocent but it won't be a baby forever. A baby is a person just as much as a human so we should discuss it as such

Open Ranks or maybe you're ignorant hmmm

And u are beautiful

Lies can be beautiful indeed but they are lies nevertheless..

I'm afraid to watch it. Roots had me hating white folks. I can't!!! Just reading some of these comments already have me crying. 😯

I just HOLLERED!!!

🤣🤣

Alexandra Smith 😂😅🙌🏼🙌🏼

😂😂😂😂

Thanks for your humor lol

David Williams right

Girl shut up, this is overused

I knew her face resembled someone I knew of
