American Vortex
American Vortex: Bitter partisan divides, a broken immigration system, vast income inequality, lack of faith in government, a turbulent presidential election whose outcome could shred democratic norms. How can America rise to its challenges?

Sherrilyn is very impressive! Loved her comments and her metaphors.

She’s all about black grievance. I’m tuning out, sorry.
People have a negative image of things like public transportation and public schools because of their outcomes and conditions, not because people that look like you are in them.
How about you have Eric Kaufman and Peter Boghossian at next year's talk.
A group of people that is represents perfectly the polarisation in discourse and privileged living that they bemoan others do and have. That aside: The sadest moment for me was when Sherrlyin Ifill proclaimed that democracy only started in 1954. That reveals a total lack of knowledge and education about the evolution of democracy since Greece (and before). Also, if I were to look from the other side - let's say a truckdriver from Louisiana living a traditional family model (no matter if black or white), I would be shocked - and, if anything, even more encouraged to vote for Liar-In-Chief Trump.
Yeah these people are totally qualified to opine. But, free speech is free speech.
signed off on the 'Men get on board' comment. Just more identitarianism from that woman.
Why the sunglasses though?
7:21 Anne Applebaum is the furthest thing from woke? Completely discredited himself with that statement.

Take your sunglasses off

Sorry ifill, but black people today need to work positively to resolve their own grievances. Black on black crime in my community is not anything I should be asked to subsidize.

Subsidize?
