“Ben Meets America!” chronicles one journalist’s attempt to understand the American electorate. It’s a political series for the politically homeless-and an antidote to the idea that we live in a hyper-polarized society destined to hate one another.

"Empty bottles make the most noise" - quote of the year right there. I'm going to totally appropriate that expression. I will duly credit Jamaica for it!

I'm 74 and lived in and out of the hippie culture in the late 60's. I went to Woodstock in 1969. These Reggae folks sure seem a lot more like the people I hung around with then than the "liberals" of today do. If I was 19 years old in today's world, I think I would be into the Reggae world. Lots of quirky people with lots of different opinions. No one asking, "who are you voting for?" before they pass the joint.

Or if they are voting for the "wrong" person, they give them more weed!

“Ignorant”…”diverse community”… I wonder what other clichés she’d have fit in had Ben not cut her off.

@@ATMyles Honestly I'm sure she would have kept going even though Ben told her the person was black. She would have switched gears to the pandering soft-racism of the liberal white woman: "Oh well she's probably learned to ignore it or maybe she doesn't even recognize it because it's SO prevalent" /vocal fry

Ben, I love you man. Your videos always make me smile and bring good mood. World needs more people like you.

Yep, this right here, Americans being who they are without the hyper political crap being shoved on us daily by those who know what's best for us and that we are too stupid to realize how jacked up we are because we just love life and each other instead of hating ourselves or others because they are different...

I would like this 50 times if I could.

This seems like a very fun and chill bunch of people. I don't know much about reggae but I could hang out with these people. It seems to be a melting pot like what the U.S. could truly be

2:52 She befriended someone who's athiest?! What is this country coming to. Pretty soon we'll have more than one congressperson who is openly athiest. Bill Maher was right to disagree with Obama on that

These people, this channel do not know reggae. Reggae is not smoke weed, forget and be ignorant to the convenience of some. Reggae is "bun down Babylon". Reggae is political. Reggae is knowing and practicing African unity, liberation and strength.
