=== during slavery family mindset were beaten of people weekly (similar to romanian gypsies) and single mom thinking was implanted because the white guy could control here better, the son watch the dad be held down by three white males or mom raped by three white males at once developed the no hope mentality and when a black boy invented something (pulling himself up by bootstrap) i white guy used the white system to take it from him or jail him for fun so that only 125 years ago and blaming the home in BC means holding the mom accountable ( and the white system who uses the govt to keep her in charge of boys ensuring he will not have what denzeal had exposure to a stable father) the family court system pushes out father who can not afford to fight them while giving the welfare mother a free lawyer, yet white family court would rather give a boy child to a WIC and welfare mother over a working warehouse father or any working dad with a better home they need him to pay the 26% intreats even though the verbiage of family law says the most stable home - then why give the boy to a mother who needs assistance over a male that dsnt need welfare then because of her enrollment in welfare whites give her a free welfare lawyer while he has to come up with 3k just to get a lawyer to fight the million dollar system where the judge works to get the welfare dept it 26% intrests from the working dad who wants custody, and the mother produces a violent boy, who is smothered by female mindset and female ways with no exposure to males other then street males ......saying it starts in the home exposes her for not being accountable and the system against the working dad now do you understand ??

D best We are a long way off from that. It is a shitty situation. We can all name stats and reasons. Everyone, including blacks getting tired of hearing it. Do we have solutions? I think we've addressed all the problems. That helps to some extent. What is anyone doing about it? I get it's depressing and overwhelming. You have ppl who say they're lazy, no fathers gun culture blah blah blah. 13 percent commit blah blah blah. It's systemic. We all need to do better. It's a depressing world. It's easy to say blacks have same opportunity as everyone else.. Maybe, but are their decisions and opportunities the same as everyone else? We know it predominantly white nation. That's the way it is, for now. Can't change that. Is it as simple as making a choice to succeed. Can we use the blacks that do rise above and succeed as inspiration. Does all the white ppl struggling help the situation or all their success stories. I see the numbers are lopsided.. I've said who cares why, but obviously it is very important why. Because then you have blacks that say they are stuck in their shitty situation. What are your ideas? Again, most of time we only hear what problems are and no solutions.

Liberals have spent 40+ years making black people out to be the victims of a corrupt system. So they can't stand it when noted black celebrities speak up and say the opposite. And more and more of them are speaking up. Morgan Freeman, Lil Wayne, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, etc. All these people did the exact same things any person of any other nationality would need to do to get famous. If they just rolled over and claimed they were a victim, then it would undermine their entire life's work. In other words, they're proving black people can break out of the "system" and become famous. Even more famous than most white actors/politicians.

They’re all mad because Denzel Washington tells the truth,and the truth hurts.

So personal responsibility and don’t blame everyone else ? Seems like common sense

For God's sake...raise your kids....teach them personal responsibility and they will be ok! Don't raise them with that absurd entitlement disposition....entitled to what?.....for what?.....because they are born? get serious. Making babies is the easiest thing to do in this world.....but raising them...now that's another issue. Grow up and raise your kids!

I have served time and I agree 10000000000 percent. What he is saying is not to criticize and demean our Black Community. He spoke what was logical. It doesn't even have to be missing fathers, it can be missing mothers. I was severely abused as a child and iit was my brother's daycare worker who would make sure that I ate everyday and was sown that I mattered. She became mother in my eyes. It wasn't until 30 years later that i and my mother rebuilt our relationship.

Easy.in general when the police give you orders follow them and dont do crime or hang with those who are envolved in criminal activity. Most of those examples you gave as far as far as too much force could have been avoided if they would have followed the orders given by officers. Also black men are not the only persons who get shot by police officers. Me i would just follow the orders that way i dont have to worry about leaving it in the hand of the officer who is armed to make a decision. I am a minority and this has worked for me. It is unfortunate that some persons have been convicted for crimes that have not committed because someone lied. I agree that is dead wrong and hope with dna will help avoid that from happening in the future.

Are you that stupid? For centuries the various tribes on the African continent were fighting with each other and taking slaves as prizes. When those tribes realized how profitable it was to sell their captured slaves to roving Arab slave traders it became a booming business. You think the Europeans went into the interior of the African continent and captured the slaves themselves? Please... Yes the Europeans were more than willing to buy them, use them and abuse them but your ancestors' hands are by no means clean either. In every discussion about slavery everyone seems to conveniently forget that part of the story so yeah, there are some lessons you could learn from that might help to remove that obvious chip on your shoulder. What mass murders are you talking about? Oh you must mean the Black on Black mass murders of those 40 people in Chicago the other day...No?

I have to admit, until I saw a couple of videos of Denzel talking recently I have just always assumed he drank the Leftwing Kool-aid. I am pleased to find out I was wrong.

Yes the truth shall set you free!

The truth always hurts

He is ridiculed because he SPOKE THE TRUTH.

Fathers (men that face the music) are under appreciated often.. They are the real life Superheroes.

Washington is right, people in communities are responsible for that community's problems and get the leadership they choose, here in America.

That tell that to the people that get bombed in the black wallstreet 50 years ago.

How many white people do you think have been killed by black muggers in the last 50 years? what a stupid wayt to think about things.

Great interview

My late grandmother (a Jamaican), always said “See trouble, before trouble sees you”. My parents told me that so often that it shaped the way I live my life, even today as a father myself. People can’t be angry at Denzel for speaking the truth.

People just don't like taking responsibility for there own shit

Omar Shabazz no....it’s the full truth

I don't see a single problem with his comments. The truth hurts some people.

Denzel is an incredibly wise man. Has seemingly raised a great family. And has stayed out of the headlines, much like Tom Hanks. Great actor for whom I have great respect for and even greater respect for his very level headed, well balanced and thoroughly thought through opinions (which is extremely rare in Hollywood).

Denzel Washington is right and that is enough reason for so many to criticize him. Sometime truth hurts but truth always comes on top. We need more Denzels among us to make our communities better. Just my opinion.

Thank you for reminding me why I'm no longer a Democrat/liberal.

Some parents can do everything right and still their offsprings seem to go astray. If you live in certain minority communities before birth you are a test subject, starting with the prenatal vitamins that the expecting mother is given, then there's the manipulation of the baby formulas, from there, there's the poisonous vaccinations and don't mention the school lunches, and the treatment of our water system. Manufacturers and our Govt knows exactly what communities the chemically tainted foods, and meds are assigned to every thing is pre coded with a language only they understand because they created it. Most minorities grow up in poor areas, that's the only rent they could afford, being exposed to lead paint and chemically induced heating and air condition blow out, these thing weren't' by mistake, they were intentional by design. It's not harmful to all, but for some reason for other year after year inhaling and ingesting these unknown killers, diminish some otherwise healthy brains. You can raise your child with all the good morals and values that you can but their brain development started to washout before birth. Yes, it starts at home the U.

No you have to make your kids more afraid of you than they are afraid of their friends as long as they are under your roof.

LYING IS THE WORST SIN I am glad you are telling the truth Denzel I know my nephew is in jail and he had no father it is very sad

Bravo! Well said.

Do they all have twitter accounts?

Denzel gets attacked because he's very honest. People like to blame so they don't have to look at themselves.

Choices make a difference in how one lives!

Why do we always have titles that set our mind to think that one person is wrong as we enter the video? It only shortens our understanding as we decide not to really listen to that person.

He is right.If they go to prison they should stay in prison

Great clip! The Justice System at its heart is a welfare program for its vast number of employees. Crime is often a condition of desperate economics, mental health issues or both, one caused by the other. Prison might actually alleviate the economic aspect of a person who's committed a crime. It provides a place to sleep they can count on, clean clothes, 3 meals a day, education sometimes, etc. (I'm not for prison btw), so if we remove the economics as a problem, we are left with the challenged mental health of each prisoner. Prison is not a "cure" for bad mental health, it exacerbates it. The obscene percentage of black Americans in prison can easily be traced back to the prison without walls from their impoverished communities and broken homes. Justice doesn't begin with a crime. Justice is a value that should either always be present in every situation or it isn't Justice except in name. Here is a simple bit of logic regarding the disenfranchised communities that breed our future prisoners. The US Government sends Billions, maybe Trillions in foreign aid. What priority in our government allows them to spend such grandiose figures, when just a percentage of that could be distributed to ending the poverty, mental health challenges and broken families in our own country? Out country is at war with itself, class wars, opportunity wars, drug wars, etc. "First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

We live in a society that doesn't allow for criticism, that shifts blame to everyone else but the person responsible and relies on hyper-emotionalism to deflect anything. MLK speech in The boondocks is right on the money on that issue.

Denzel is absolutely correct!! Our culture HATES hearing the truth about ourselves when it requires change from within.💯

How the media has changed!!! Wow

Much easier to blame the "system" than to take personal responsibility to raise kids right.

Denzel is right! I had a large group of friends I grew up with. Out of 10 kids only 2 had married parents

A BLACK HOST at FOX NEWS? He had to be RIGHT WING!

Denzel Washington spoke his truth. The family establishes the foundation in how a child is raised. Train up a child in the way he/she should go: and when they grow older they will not depart from the foundation their family have instilled in them. I and my siblings are the by-product of what my Mother and Father taught us as children growing up. 🙏🏾

I am black grew up in a 2 parent household and raised two children as a single parent. It’s hard but you do have to build a strong family unit, so that the child has a full circle to run to instead of a stranger.or the streets. Even if the child is missing a parent make sure that child is accounted and cared for. uncle’s, aunt’s, cousins blood or non blood they are very important family members and what they do ultimately shape and mold a child’s future. My Son is in his Jr year in college away from home and my daughter has her own business I have always just supported them in every way I could so that they were successful

Denzel was right

The man spoke truth as he always does. Nothing hurts more than the truth

Yes, something does: treason

Well said!

I'm white, had No father growing up, not a step father or father in law, nothing. I have never been arrested or done drugs or been In A gang. I don't know why. My uncle recently told me that they were surprised I never got into trouble growing up. They thought I would be in prison and a criminal. I rarely saw my mother as well as she worked several jobs to support my brothers and sisters and me.

American prison's system is awful, by far the worst of all first=world contries. But I don't think it is a racist system
