Civil Rights Activist Provides His Opinion on Reparations

Dr. Phil discusses the highly debated topic of reparations. The HB 40 bill was passed in Congress last year, which establishes the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans. Many feel this isn’t enough and insist there must be financial reparations given. Some cities, such as San Francisco, propose giving up to $5 million to some black Americans who qualify. Should this happen? Patrice E. Jones, a descendant of both a slave and slave owner, weighs in on the reparations debate, along with Civil Rights Activist Bob Woodson, and Professor William Darity, who outlined his plan for reparations in his book, “From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century.” Also on the panel are political writer Joshua Ferguson and anti-racist educator Ashani Mfuko.

The first thing she wanted to say is “it’s not our fault”. Everything this man just said went right over her head.

[ashleygagnon]

"America is drowning because it's in a moral and spiritual freefall.". Well said!

[clubberlang]

Fear mongering and “race hustling” are big business! This woman makes her living off making people feel oppressed!

[CamBurgerAndCheese]

"People are motivated to change when you give them a vision of victories that are possible, not constantly reminding them of injuries to be avoided" ... Man! *Mic drop*

[Andrina-flef]

Bob is a wise man. He actually lived through a time period where segregation existed and still doesn't feel entitled to be compensated. Imagine that.

[tanitatt]

That lady is looking for answers in other people. She’s not looking for answers from herself…. That’s the difference …. The old dude is saying we can’t rely on others to solve the problem, while she’s saying we need others to fix it for us.

[cobobonzobobby]

Gotta say... his point about becoming more successful DURING being actually oppressed, vs now just blaming the oppression was so good. Wise words.

[wreckingyardresurrections]

That woman at the end is a perfect example of the real problem. This is the type of person that seeks out racism in all aspects of life in order to excuse the bad behavior of the black community. Trees are racist. Math is racist. The very air we breath is racist. Excuses and blame gaming will never solve the problem. Personal accountability will.

[rickjames]

I agree with Bob, 100%, but she was so quick to just ignore him. He has decades of wisdom and understands the changes over the decades. His message is exactly what young black/all Americans need. It is very disappointing how she just ran back to the same narrative that is destorying the black community.

[bbll]

The fact that this man isn’t in history books! Look up his story! He had no education and the military base in Florida offered classes to black students and he became the most intelligent man walking plus he was a civil rights activist 👍🏾

BOB WOODSON

[richardcheese]

That lady listened to him, and then immediately showed she ignored everything he said.

She’s a good looking woman, quite clearly successful. Taking centre stage on a prime time tv show.

And yet she’ll endlessly try to convince people things are the same as they were in 1960, or even 1860.

[ngonzale]

A huge thanks to Dr Phil. There’s no mainstream show that is producing productive dialogue on these topics.

[linjp]

“The big crisis facing America is not racial. It’s the moral and spiritual free-fall that is consuming our children.” Bob Woodson is an American icon. What he said can be applied to so many problems this generation faces.

[Jimbo]

Intelligence and Wisdom on display, thank you sir, for such wise words. We must see all of us as Americans, with equal rights regardless of race, color, creed, or socio-economic means.

[rebeccaw]

She came back with reparations, but he already destroyed her argument.

[davidkyenvil]

I love what he said a 💯💯💯

Then the lady spoke, and I started losing brain cells

[lSirCumference]

The woman just completely ignored the wisdom that was given to her.

[C.L.]

Man, what an amazing message. ❤ He is absolutely right. They want us to stay divided and distracted from the REAL issues which mainly is the lack of moral and spiritual awareness and the corruption of our children and their values

[batboyshark]

It's crazy that she who has most likely never experienced racism is speaking down to someone who truly has experienced it.

Sad how she disregards all of his wisdom and experience just to further her agenda.

[MyHeart]

Morality has no color. This man knows what he’s talking about.
