Why idealize the Black family under Jim Crow oppression? GOP Rep. Byron Donalds responds to Joy Reid 

and not allowed to marry his white wife

Old boo would have been swinging from a tree!😲

@@MistyHenryMistynobody is going to entertain your little games. The implication was that it was better. Did you somehow forget what maga means and what era they believe was great? Use your brain for once. Connect the dots

He didnt reminisce about Jim Crow, he just stated a fact from a time period that happened to be Jim Crow era. A positive statistic about families, not the Jim Crow laws and terrible events that happened in that time. Can we not cite positive statistics from the early 40s cause WW2 was happening? so dumb

There was nothing positive about Jim Crow

I didn't think it was possible for actual free people to think dumber thoughts than the paid Joy Reid.. But you have done it.. Martin Luther King also came out of the Jim Crow era, was that not positive? Use your brain and also do some research, the DEMOCRATS were fully responsible for Jim Crow, NOT the Republicans..

Exactly!

Because as Joy pointed out, he was saying Democrat were doing Jim Crow when really the party's flipped because the southern democrats wanted slaves, so the became the Republicans.

Reverend Al said it.

There is no Black folks in MAGA world who can be honest about racism and be a prominent voice. They have to pretend racism was not that bad or never happen. If Criminal Byron Donald's ever said anything else, they will make him wish he was in Jim crow era. This guy knows it . Don't tell black folks how to live when you not living such experience having a white family. The setting that you are describing and lecture one about you don't live it brother. Nothing wrong with your choice, but stay in your lane Criminal Byron Donald's. we know your checker past Mr. high and might Donald's. Lets be honest about crime and poverty. You look at eastern Europe the crime is high, white and white crimes. Most of it is poverty just like anywhere else. yet the media don't give those countries and neighborhood the same coverage. why they want to pretend blacks are the problem or brown people. More crime occur where there are poverty and the unbalance of opportunities.

First and foremost this is American history!We can not allow anyone to change our history, just because it doesn't fit their narrative. We must all stand up and not allow them to ban books regarding history.

His point is perfectly understandable. Black families were intact and successful DESPITE Jim Crow, not because Jim Crow was good. That was his point. There is no mistake to apologize for. The implication is that the Dems promote policies that destroy black families and then lay the blame for the family's failure at the feet of racism. Yet, in the Jim Crow era when racism was so much more intense, black families were united DESPITE the obstacles.

Exactly he purposely said Jim Crow to appeal to who was in the room and I promise you, there were not black and if so a few was.

EXACTLY, And Don't forget blame Joe Biden and the Democrats for what HE SAID, I don't get it.

Right! Joy Reid probably has a 200 IQ, he had no chance.

@@saintclaire4897😂😂😂

I'd like to see him go on Roland Martin's show. Roland would tear him to shreds.

What I would get out of what he said is that Black families were more together under oppression. We had to be. And btw, it didn't start off like. Right after slavery there were a lot of homes where the father wasn't really there because that's what they did in slavery. The slave owners separated the men from the women, so a Black man would sleep with many women. But as time moved on Black men became more committed to his family unit. What Rep. Donalds is saying, is that the Democrats have found a way to weaken the Black family unit without physically lynching the Black man. The policies in government encourage mothers to be single and have fathers out of their homes. You always hear Democrats talk about how the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act. They never tell you how. But Section 4 and 5 of the VRA were never meant to be permanent. Section 2 on the other hand can do everything that's needed to enforce voting rights. The only difference is that Section 4 had a road block and made certain states and districts with a history of disenfranchising (minority) voters - such as New York City - get preclearance with the DOJ before any new district lines could go forward. But let's say that a city or state disagreed with a negative outcome. It could go to court and try to have a court disagree with the DOJ. That can still happen. An aggrieved party can go to the DOJ with a complaint, and perhaps court. But oftentimes the DOJ would side or decide not to intervene leaving a disgruntled person or group no other choice but court. Obama and Eric Holder could have created new preclearance measures when Congress was all Democrat. But they didn't. So the use of the word "gutted" without explaining anything is Democrat Slickness.

Your projecting i didn’t get that from his comments at all

You wrote a whole dissertation related to the context of what Rep. Donald said and failed to bring any clarity to what was said specific to the Jim Crow era and the black family unit as it relates to the impact of father being in the home and the difference it made during this time period.

I am still waiting for Joy to play where Byron Donalds says Jim Crow was a golden era. By the way he clearly DURING Jim Crow and not BECAUSE OF

Because that would be admitting the truth and MAGA is not about truth.

Joy should admit she is wrong for saying things he didn’t say.

Nothing he said was wrong at all, the media is just spinning this into “republicans want Jim Crow back” because it’s an election year. Wake up already. His point is that even when blacks were being oppressed the family unit was stronger than it is today. Single motherhood rate has been increasing since the Civil rights movement. Why is that ?

Denial is the GOP way of life nowadays right out in the open. Denial and lying!!

@@JenkinsFamily21 you sound like him.

I urge you to do some research on Bryon Donalds. The guy is a rockstar. I recommend you listen to his conversation with Stephen A. Smith on Smith's podcast.

Sis Joy?? Dwlllll calling out what? Did you listen to what he said? He said during an era(Jim Crow) black families were together which is a good thing. During LBJ if you remember the show Julia where they were giving benefits to the family but only if the men weren’t in the homes because of that it caused a destabilization of the black families. That’s the comparison. He NEVER said we were better off that’s your lying Sis Joy Reid spreading her usual propaganda. Y’all soak it up like babies.

How specifically did he gaslight anyone in this segment?

@@ACFinLA He's acting like he did not specifically say "Jim Crow era" instead of saying for example "in the past". Why single that era out specifically? What else was going on at that time? Oh, right.

when did he say that? he said "we're starting to see the reinvigoration of black family and that helps breed a revival of a black MIDDLE class. during jim crow, the black family was together.' this sounds like he's implying that black people were enjoying the benefits of a middle class during jim crow and were voting conservatively. my mom's great cousin is in her mid 90s and has nothing but negative things to say about that timepoint, including the black family structure.

​@@jsbreezy• Didn't sound like that to me!

Yes but all they wanna hear is ‘Jim jim Jim’

@@juancolon3715 • The media is always misapplying something so they can get ratings. However, nobody is talking about how poor black youth during the Jim Crow Era were not killing one another. No gangs, bloods, cripts, etc. We were not burying young black boys. Even though the law didn't protect black families, a man was still needed in the home. His wife and children needed him. He is still needed today, and the poorest among black people are filling their homes up with children who are daddyless. The women who make that choice are the least of us who will ever get married. I know people say marriage is not for everyone, but when you start having babies it should be for you. What about the total growth of the children? Too much to talk about here, the mind is processing too fast.☮️

Exactly! They(the left) for clarification know what he means, Through the worse times for black folks we stuck together. Joy-Less Reid knows that.

He would die or be in prison dating a white woman in the Jim Crow era.

GOON!!!…(replace the G with a C)

It is but I would never vote for Biden

Sir, I dont want to bring you any disrespect and Im sure we have a common desire to see the black community succeed. But I just want to pose a question. Exactly how did the black family unit stay more intact under the hardships of Jim Crow, which was evil, than during the welfare acts after and leading to today? I think we can both agree that america is way less racist today than back then? We are talking a 25% single mother rate then as opposed to 75% today! That fact should make you question some things. That is what the gentleman was trying to point out, not that Jim Crow was somehow good. That proves that black community has the backbone, resilience, and moral character to help itslef and some people feel that is a better path forward than welfare that incentivizes poor behavior that leads to despair regardless of race. I feel the real racism is thinking that black community can only thrive through handouts.

Did you go and listen to what he actually said, not what Joy Reid is spinning his words into a lie? Byron is a national hero! Trump isn’t running against Biden, he’s running against the deep state. They can’t control him so they are trying to destroy him and have been for the past 8 years.

@@rsktransport Wow! You were so respectful and seeking to understand instead of just trying to shame and slander. Great comment! I totally love your tone and kindness! A country divided cannot stand. But a country that seeks to understand one another is powerful! 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️

Donalds's point is that the conservative nature of blacks is what sustained the black family even through the hardships of Jim Crow. It was, in part, when blacks began to turn toward Democrat liberal programs that the black family was all but destroyed. Nearly 80% of black children grow up without their fathers. Again, nearly 8 out of every 10 black kids grow up without their dads. Yet blacks are abusing Donalds's point to help Democrats when it is Democrats who are sinking the black family. That is what is truly disgusting and disheartening.

Not quite like that, and that's not quite what was said. I did expect people commenting to listen more, but I guess the host couldn't manage it either.

@@paulaaron4821 How folks conditioned through decades of liberal indoctrination and propaganda react

I encourage you to go and watch the actual interview. I was curious enough on this one to go watch and that was not what was said at all. It was a complete misrepresentation; which I am finding to be more frequent on these news channels. He is actually FOR the African American family. Without doing our own research, we can be led to believe anything that is told to us by the news media.

He cannot defend his stance. It is Indefensible. Like DJT and his divisive rhetoric. But go on, BYRON.

That is what she and others like her want to protect. They want women to be "free" no matter the cost. Byron and other black men like him have lost the culture war in the United States and they are better off seeking to build families with women not from the US American black community. Conservative black men want families, they need to take a card from the white men that found foreign wives and build families silently with those women. Their influence will last through their children.

He mentioned after a certain regime change that changed

Because they had no choice but to stay together. You people need to keep quiet

@@savuense2972 Staying together IS the choice. Thats you women's problems, you destroy families for selfish reasons based on emotions and feelings. This is why there few nuclear families and everyone is one their own struggling. It makes so much sense that men dont trust women anymore.

He’s out of touch with his own self as a black man! Donalds is the one who is gaslighting because when he get done talking about the importance of a black man in the black family he himself married a white woman. Which is okay to marry whoever you want to but don’t act like you’re about protecting the Black woman when you abandoned them for a white woman

Well I guess I’m insane. My parents were born during that time. My father, who was 20 years older than my mother, was born in 1905. My mother was born in 1923. Both born in the Jim Crow South. I was born near the end of the era I. 1952. I refuse to look at it as a painful period. Was it different from your era. Depending on your age and where you grew up; yes. But my mine and my family’s was so much better than the time of the slaves. I look at slavery and I have so much admiration for those that chose to took that time and opportunity to do great things when the opportunities presented themselves. It is because of decisions not to internalize that pain that we have HABUs. Many of the things you take advantage of was born out of so call “painful” times in history, i.e the traffic lights we run sometimes. Don’t be ashamed to mention those times. Some of the most prized things in life come during painful times. Look up how a diamond is formed. Do some reading on RU-vid about Lionel Riches and his ancestors during Jim Crow.

Anything? That’s a reach

Who was saying that?

You have to see the truth for your self it has nothing to do about people ruling over us. It has to do with how we function as a people and society. We had a family stucture and were organized. They destroy that with the wellfare program and other programs that toolk the man out the house. Check the atomic family rates from the 60 to the 80's and look at the decline and tell me what was the cause. Inorder to destroy our progress they attach our family structure because it was so important to us

👍💯🤯

Democrats in the 1880s invented segregation and Jim Crow laws that lasted through the 1960s. Democrats also came up with the “separate but equal” rationale that justified segregation and pretended that it was for the benefit of African Americans.

Am I taking crazy pills? Donalds argument is basically: "black marriage rates were higher and more black families were intact during the 1940's, and 1950's (the Jim Crow era)". His argument is NOT: "black marriage rates were higher under Jim Crow, as an institution". How is it difficult to discern the difference between the two?

There is nothing to clean up.

True but fathers were present. Look at the stats of % of family breakdown pre 1970's to now. That's the only thing that is valid but it isn't his argument. He's following MAGA

place that to BIDEN.

You dems are just out of your minds with all the spin, TDR, incompetency, and gas lighting. Everything that this man said is fact, but you want to focus on the term Jim Crowe. In fact, you should focus on it, and here is the question you should ask, that he failed to explain. How exactly did black families do better from a structure standpoint in a way more racist society than what we have today? Do you understand that? It is statistical fact that pre great society/civil rights act that black families only had a 25% single motherhood rate. After that, and leading to today the rate is over 75%. That is horrible and what you should care about other than this fake outrage being vomited out your mouths. As someone who is for the success of the black community, I think every possible step should be taken to combat this problem, which is the common denominator to success or poverty regardless of race. Look at the stats, take fathers out the home for any race and the outcome is the same. Unfortunately, the black community has had to struggle with this always, starting with the effects of broken families through slavery, and on into the fallout from incentivizing single motherhood through great society/wellfare acts. Strangly, the only time they did not suffer from single motherhood was during the racist Jim Crowe. To me this showed the backbone, resiliency, and moral fiber of black people when they could only depend on themselves. Nobody, is advocating a return to Jim Crowe, just pointing out that black people are strong enough to help themselves and that some of these acts that were supposed to help, only crippled. We should learn from this and find a better path instead of gaslighting and trying to twist the narrative based off terminology.

He has sold his soul. It’s as simple as that.

Which was the point of Joy's rebuttal.

It's always projection with the reich...always.

so are you saying jim crow destroyed the black famy? My family and yours survived it. Have you never been ro a family reunion? probably not because welfare state killed the black family

Simple, but like Trump (black jobs) and Vance (cat women) they just dig into the stupidity of their statements.

Bryon is actually making a great point. Amazing how the victim narrative is so strong that ppl refuse to see it. Even at the detriment of their own families. Having fathers in the home during Jim Crow is an example of how much the Democrat party destroyed black communities.when black Americans faced disgusting treatment they stood strong as family units. As soon as they put their faith in the Democrat party. The Democrat party has destroyed them. 70 percent of black American children grow up without a father as a role model. Since the sixties black woman instead let the Democrat party in their homes and got rid of dads. That's what point he's making. Joy Reid knows exactly what he's saying. But needs the few that actually listen to her to be obsessed with race so they can't see the actual problem.

I'm glad Byron does not let other black people put words in his mouth, The example regarding families staying together is true, and if you wanted to vote the risk was there, but you could do it. I see many black people understanding how bad things have become in this administration, but it's ok, It doesn't cost a penny to be ignorant or argumentative.

Twisting the real point has become a trade for people these days. I think the congressman was trying to say that even as bad as the Jim Crow era was, marriages lasted longer than what it is now. He never called it a golden age . I think we should be respectful and responsible. The real point we should have been interested in is "why are marriages not lasting these days and what can we do to make it better?" We cannot deny the fact that children need both parents. Statistics says it all when you look at the relationship between crime rates and broken homes. Can we be sober and stop the politics for once?

He tried to answer her questions directly, but she kept talking over him as you can plainly see and hear. She did not care what his answer was because she has her own agenda ("It's MY show") and that's that.

That's my issue. I'm not saying that Donald's isn't smart (although he isn't smart) but a person of his age and generation would raise Jim Crow? Who planted that thought in him or flat out told him to raise it? Strange...

Why would black people vote repukeican because they do not and have not ever helped them.

You people are so dumb. LISTEN to what he said! Quit letting MSNBC tell you how to think!

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it; Those who erase history are attempting to repeat it.

Everything you just said is false. It's not the name of the era that's the problem. It's what happened to the Black community during that era that's the problem. Surely, you're not that obtuse. Also, the Black community has voted *overwhelmingly* for the Democratic party for the last 100 years. So, that includes part of the Jim Crow era. Are you saying the Democratic party was the conservative party back then? Were they the conservative party when FDR was in office in the 1930s and 40s? Back when the Black community voted in large numbers for FDR. (The ones that could vote anyway.) So no, we didn't vote more conservatively. Bryon Donalds -- and you -- are wrong on that note. And no, Black people weren't "more a unit" before welfare. The reality is women had fewer rights under the law and often stayed in marriages because that was the only way to live with a modicum of dignity. Before the 1970s-era Women's Liberation Movement, women in the US couldn't even buy a house, open a bank account, or start a business without their husband or father cosigning for them. Having to stay in a marriage because the only other option was to live in even worse poverty is NOT a sign of strength. It's a sign of coercion. Also, having access to welfare actually helped lift the Black community up out of poverty. A lift they were not able to achieve without access to those programs. Hence why the poverty rate for Black families in 1960 was 59%, but as of 2020, the rate is down to 17%. Access to government programs -- initiated to help white families in poverty first, by the way -- helped the Black family considerably. So it didn't hurt them in the least. Conclusion: Literally nothing Byron Donalds said was even remotely based in fact. And no, it's not about the "title" of the era that's the problem. It's the lies.

White people(liberals) know what they are doing when they marched this black woman out there. Just like they know what they are doing having our women go out there and promote pro-choice. White liberals are saying there are too many of us and black women agree...for the right price.

ALL OF THIS JIM CROW TALK YET U DUMMIES VOTING FOR BIDEN THAT SAID UR GONNA BE BACK IN CHAINS..

​@@maria1marieExactly 💯🤣 I'm voting for TRUMP. How are you the least married and least desired?

Left behind😂😂😂😂😂

I mean, why can't it be more nuanced than that? Why is it all or nothing? In some ways, things were better for black people back then than they are today, in other ways, things are better for black people today than they were back then. Both can hold true at the same time, depending on what you're talking about. Donalds is talking about the marriage rate. I assume we both agree that black families being together is a better thing than black families being broken up. Therefore, it would follow that, when it comes to black marriage rates, it was better for black families during the Jim Crow era than it is today. How can anyone argue against that, on it's face?

​@@user-yx6ox7us9vWhy is Byron talking about black families being together when he chose to allegedly cheat on his black wife with his current white wife?

Or the father was forced to move up north for work and try to get money to his family he left only to have it stolen by mail carriers who took notice

There were far more intact black families under Jim Crow than there are now. That's an objective fact.

​@@MrHuntermyep, I believe that

@@tytaylor3596 she wants to put words in his mouth. he already explained and you can watch it and find out yourself. stop letting democrats think for u.

​@@tytaylor3596he did nothing of the sort. He was simply pointing out the fact that more fathers stayed in the home with their families during those years. Single parent motherhood was 25% then. It's 75% now. That's NOT a good thing. Joy is a race baiter and purposely taking him out of context to defame him. She is a liar.

They are of you as well. Especially voting for biden.

​@greg11786 how ignorant can you be. Keep drinking the cult kool-aid and choking on it.....MAGA= delusional 🫣🫣

Dems lacking self-awareness and being narcassistic I can see why a dems would lack shame in general. To be so ignorant that one cannot grasp basic context and simple language should cause dems to feel shame for themselves, but we know they will never do that.

​@@greg11786and yours should have flushed you!!!!

​@@greg11786one like for you 🤣🤣🤣

Say it again for those in the back rows to hear!!!

Great POINT!

Soon women’s studies will be under just as much attack as African American history! I wish these non black women would see it.

Well stated!

Marriage rates were higher and divorce rates where higher during that time? Make up your mind.

Jim Crow was his point. Remember his audience is Trump and white conservatives. A story about marriage rates being better for black families years ago means nothing to this audience without tying it to an alleviation of white guilt over racism by signaling that “we were fine. In fact we were better than we are today”. That is what a black man feels he needs to say to this particular audience to win their favor. Jim Crow was the point of that talk.

Correct. He should have said "back in the day" or "in the 50's or 60's" etc. We know what his point was, it was the romanticizing Jim Crow that was the issue. But like the person under me said he HAD to say "Jim Crow" because thats who his followers want to hear. Make America Great Again. But great point. Totally agree.

He doesn’t have a point, so…

Why shouldn't he have referenced Jim Crow?

@@angelabrown6980 THIS!!! He was catering to his audience at the time and the reason he referred to "Jim Crow" specifically. He could have easily said there was a time and not even given any era or time to make his point (or at least the point he is trying to say now). He said what he said for a reason period.

Nah you are wrong. As a matter of survival instinct, Black Families would have no other choice than to stick together during that terrible period. No sane person could point to that as a valid argument for “Family Values” like you and Byron apparently seem to be doing. Black Families literally had no choice! Byron could easily pass across his point ( if he indeed had any) without that unnecessary mention. Now he’s getting mad that people are interested in knowing why he needed to rope in Jim Crow in that conversation. Silly.

Given the chance he allegedly cheated on his black wife with his current white one, he needs to keep quiet.

He doesnt have to because if you know how to listen you will have known without any doubt what he meant.

Some of us are smart enough to see how the conversation was spun

Wasn’t black Wall Street during the Jim Crow era? So what he was stating was facts black families were together and middle classed🤔 I’m a Gen X I could see how joy spun that narrative. She put words in his mouth that he didn’t even say. Gas lighting at its best.🤦🏾‍♀️

@@ellenjohnson3669 yup, Democrat policy helped destroy the nuclear family which is why the community & culture is in the toilet. Now its added on victim mentality, $ocialism & LMNOPXYZ

TRUMPS HOUSE BOY THATS WHY

and a huge ignorant clown 🤡

A big one

As a black man from the urban area I say He’s Right!!! And it’s crazy for the black dems to distort what he said.

​@buddymaddix two words soerm bank

​@@jonanderson2421They were under constant threat under Jim Crow.

He said what happened with his farther . His farther left him and his mom. He connected with his dad as an adult .

His mother was a single, poor mother of three. He probably never knew his father. While growing up Donalds watch TV shows like "Leave it to Beaver, The Donna Reed Show, Dennis the Menace and many others that portrayed American families as the perfect white family with a mother, father and kids. Since Donalds didn't have that kind of perfect family growing up, he begin to idolize white people and wanted to be like them and have what they have.

Apparently 30 pieces of silver buys anything these days...

This dude is a Caribbean and that’s why he said these things.. these people use black Americans as a talking point because they know Caribbeans don’t have a leg to stand on in this country… we need delineation and disaggregate from these people

His Caribbean mother

What is Byron wrong on?

@@Jerry-tv4bgNot being a part of the hive mind mindset. The man has a thought and is black. That’s wrong to this lefties.

😆 not at all I don't know what segment you were watching but Byron is too smart for all of them...TRY having on Mark Levin...😆

I bet you believed Hunters laptop was Russian Disinformation 😅

You sound boosted.

😂😂😂😂😂 that was your takeaway 😂😂😂😂

thats why black liberals need to stop pretending to have white liberal values - stop being fake - learn to love yourself

​@@autodidactpolymath1851There's nothing else to take from it.

In the last 30 years there is ZERO evidence that more Black men are taking responsiblity for the kids they create. Zero.

Yea and the self hate is all Democrats and liberals that kneel at the altar of agenda, mutilation and false idols.

Sorry but we not falling for it. There is a great wave of people who have left the democratic plantation, and the movement is growing.

@@G3TAcademy, Do you honestly think the Democratic Party of 156 years ago is the same as the Democratic Party of today? Maybe stop parroting Republican talking points and start researching history.

It’s ok. He would have married black if black fathers are available to train and love on their daughters to teach them to become a wife and not a baby mama….

​@@ColorMeNothingfathers are not supposed to train their kids they are supposed to raise their kids you train animals not children.

Exactly

@@Ahtaht227why are you so slow? He’s just saying blk families were more together spite of Jim Crow!

@@arlandolittle7625 “in spite” if you’re going to insult me please do so with proper grammar. He never said in spit of Jim Crow he said during which he could have just said the 60s… and if he was so concerned about the black family he should have married a black woman…

Of course not. Jim Crow Joe wouldn't allow it.

So with a choice 70% single mother rate

Black women had a choice ask all the black women that were with white men back then. I guess you forgot the black women that went to the supreme court for that white man

Righttttttt smh

@@bigtime9589you’re not very bright are you? Joe became a politician in 1972 🤦🏾‍♂️

His WHITE wife is an education activist in Florida.....He's not allowed to read books.

Sounds like you advocate fatherless homes in the black community.

What about the older gentleman in the background that agreed with him

dems hate truth

🤔Will the books tell us we had more or less families prior to 1965 ?

Exactly...

Warren miscegenation changed before then?

Why is it so hard for you to understand that he isn’t advocating for Jim Crow era to return? Maybe he didn’t mention that because it’s blatantly obvious. He’s pointing out that during that era the black family was more intact than it is today. The family unit has increasingly broken down since the civil rights era which has led to many problems in the community

Facts!!!! Yessss because he has a white wife. He doesn't have a black family..

@@DoubleL. Jim Crow and the family shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence because Jim Crow was anti-family.

Can't give what one does not have. He is wanting to go to a time where there was only white male rule; opine he does not have self respect which allows no real love, because it would harm him if he were able to jump time and talked out of place in that era. He wants that for women... to be subservient and brood mares. How low can one go?

There's a name for people like him, but I'd probably get in trouble for posting it here.

You do realize the the Democrats enacted Jim Crow, supported the formation of the KKK and promoted the use aof abortion to slow the growth of the black population.

​@@Lana2k6He's a 🦝🦝🦝 like Tim Scott,and UNCLE Clarence TOMas should be ASHAMED of themselves!!! Sell outs 🤬🤬🤬🤦🏾‍♀️

It's true. He likely distances himself from most Black yet fashions himself as their seer

Just a sold out Trump bootlicker .

Just like Clarence Thomas, twisted!

Byron is such a "Good Colored Boy", when the Confederacy comes back I am going to purchase him. Heck, I might purchase Tim Scott too.

Right! I forgot about Tim Scott! Such an opportunist, like many pro-Trump officials. Another annoying one is Nikki Haley. She is not black but she sure is an opportunist and a fake!

Yall so lost

As a 71 year old Black woman, I say he doesn’t owe an apology. He was correct. Listen again and remember the date that this happened. People knew this type of thing happened. It was a period of time. If people had to hide in a corner, how do you think you got here. Not saying it didn’t happen. However, there were many successful Black families back then and they were successful because of two parents in the home. Joy likes to twist any story that doesn’t cause a division between Blacks and Whites. When she’s done with it,it will be and she will have you looking negatively at the person that said something she dislikes, trusting you will never do any research. Just saying.

​@marybodley6314 Byron Donalds was doing OK till he started claiming Jim Crow You see, Byron was trying to impress Trump at "The Cigar Code in Philadelphia" Where he he was representing Trump.

In many ways it’s a wrong reference, I think he was trying to compare the marriage statistics back then and now. But I these topics are tough and one should be careful.

Looks like you cleared that up but unfortunately people would rather believe black families were huddled in a corner in a home part for someone to save them. Come to think of it how did they even have a home. I'm sorry but black people back then weren't cowards they were strong and very intelligent. They are the reason we are so blessed today!!!!!!​@@marybodley6314

​@@marybodley6314 We as a people got where we are today because of, despite all the oppression, degradation, repression, injustice and political inequality, of the Jim Crow era, were able by much sacrifice,bold leadership and prayer, to fulfill the lyrics of that old Black hymn " We Shall Overcome"

Especially with that hair.

Who's Ruth?

@@TA_Plus_Hemi good point you must be megalomaniac

Byron didn't maintain his nuclear black family, it's alleged that he cheated on his black wife with his now white wife.

only to people who cannot comprehend what the man is saying. I do believe he's speaking english.

I’m using he’s a “house dude” in the future. Thank you.

@@arthurmingo Just call him two zero Stephen (Django Unchained)

You didn't listen did you? He didn't romanticize the JCE, he just stated that marriage rates were higher then.

@@njpmeif you say so 🙄…. He your 🥷 tho!🤣🤣🤣 y’all can have him

@@ChocolateTah84 if your listening comprehension is bad, just say that.

He can't read it in Florida because they banned the books.

@@reneewashington9405 - that make sense why he is so ignorant. He can’t be educated on his real culture. Oh my goodness

That's the problem right there. It was a lack of communication. So he got his information from white people. Here's a black man making fun of black families. While his wife is white.

But yours is highest in single parents. Highest in abortion. Highest in crime rates per 100k. Highest in use of government assistance. More black people are murdered than any other race, and by their own race. All by design of the very people you keep in office. Biden voted to keep kids in segregated schools, and voted to incarcerate for small amounts of drug possession, to lock up black men. And they're laughing all the way to the white house about it.

Actually worst for black people since the 60s when welfare did midnight raids making sure there are no fathers in the home

Maybe you should listen harder. He said high marriage rates and black fathers staying in the home were good. What's wrong with that. He didn't credit Jim Crow laws for anything.

​@carlosguevara9870 Men can get married if they want to. It's not important to a lot of them and that's particularly true for Black men.

​@@carlosguevara9870Too bad he allegedly cheated on his black wife with his current white wife.

​@@carlosguevara9870 Your name is Latino, your family probably wasn't even in this country during Jim Crow and neither was Jamaican Byron Donald's.

They had to protect themselves from Democrats you muppet

That’s a lie! People on both sides causing divide! Black or white will be the least of our worries and Americans are too oblivious to what can happen!

That's very true

Trump loves black people and the number of them that support him is sky rocketing.

The democrats???? 😂😂😂

Malcolm x lived through jim crow, he had a beautiful family, and he protected them. he wasn't weak at all. mlk had a beautiful family. My grandparents had a beautiful family. jim crow was horrible but it didn't destroy the black family. welfare did.

if being the fn means you have to surrender all independent thought and morality, who needs it?

You do realize that Malcolm X called the white liberal the most dangerous to the black man? Why is Joy so quick to promote their agenda?

😂🌊💙👍🏽

Yessss

She didn't though 😅

Donalds never said that. He referred to how factually, and statistically Black America was better off at that time than what Dems have given them over the last 60 years. Which is correct. We have the numbers. Yes, it was an awful time, but Black America is worse off today, while ~90% of them have lived in Democrats Cities/States, under Democrat law for over 60+ years now. Besides, Democrats created Jim Crow, so why should Black folk vote Democrat? Don't care how much you want to point it at the Repubs, it was never them according to our history books. It doesn't take a school to read history books to know the actual facts.

He didn't give Jim Crow credit. He gave the BLACK MAN CREDIT!

He wasn't crediting Jim Crow with anything. People hear these words and go off the deep end. Pay attention to the context! THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! He never said that Jim Crow was a good thing. He was only referring to an era in time when black families were strong - which was true until LBJ's Great Society created welfare programs that destroyed black families because the benefits were awarded to single mothers. Black families were stronger than white families. When LBJ implemented his Great Society he knew exactly what he was doing - he said he would "keep nig****" voting Democrat for 200 years"! Democrats voted against all civil rights legislation until the 1960s and LBJ. The idea that the parties "changed places on race" is absolute nonsense! White Republicans were hanged for registering blacks to vote in the South. The Republican party in Texas was founded by black men and there was a black representative elected to Congress in 1870. Hiram Rhodes Revels arrived on Capitol Hill to take his seat as the first Black member of the U.S. Congress in 1870. WHY were American children never taught about that? Woodrow Wilson was a racist and he segregated the federal government. It was desegregated by Harry Truman in 1948. Hiram Rhodes Revels arrived on Capitol Hill to take his seat as the first Black member of the U.S. Congress in 1870. They stopped teaching REAL history in our schools for a reason!

At all. Especially when it's all fear and imbalanced.

Too bad your little mind couldn't comprehend the fact that he used Jim Crow as a chronological time in reference to the black family structure during that time. I hope you're not a man making comments like this 😂😂

He was short listed as a pick for Trump's VP list. Do the math, He knew exactly why he did it pandering the racist folk so he can be accepted. Classic House N..

I was thinking the same thing. Why else would a Black person come out in favor of the Jim Crow era?

I can’t believe the ignorance of the Left. That is NOT what the man said! Quit letting MSNBC tell you how to think.

Like those "lucky slaves" who were taught job skills (ref. Ron DeSantis during an anti CRT rant about censorship of school books that present slavery in a bad light ... lest white students "feel bad"). Barf!

Sorry but BM were saying this long before Trump 2016 election. We thought it was a small group but it’s now made it to the big stage….yikes

He's not even with a black spouse, he didn't choose black when given the choice. So why is he talking about black families sticking together?

@@underestimated1171 He is an immigrant. He nor his family lived/fought/survived Jim Crow or being enslaved in this country. He has no lineage in this country. He is not like us.

@@underestimated1171notice how everyone that talks about black this and that but end up with white spouses! Make it make sense

They could but had to guess the number of jellybeans in the jar

And when they did vote they often and frequently voted Republican

​@alliwishis_2 Blacks in the US could not vote prior to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. When President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, southern White Democrats switched to what is now the Republican Party of today. Rep. Donalds failed to mention that in his little speech in Philadelphia.

@@alliwishis_2 Yes, when Republicans were LIBERALS and Democrats were CONSERVATIVES.

@@alliwishis_2 You are right! The problem has always been CONSERVATIVES. They first polluted the Democratic party, then the Republican party wanted them since Nixon. Now, they've polluted the Republican party. Look at the states that wereJim Crow on a map and how it swapped parties because of them. You are right! CONSERVATIVES ARE THE PROBLEM!
