Nothing worse to watch is when a person asks a question but doesn't actually "listen" to the answer.

Man I wish Larry would have become governor of California. He would have started in the trenches to at the very least pull San Francisco out of the gutter!!!!

Former high school teacher here

I saw this firsthand with many, many families

Larry is so correct

Can Larry answer, why the Republican party won't let him be apart of the Republican debates? Systemic racism cannot be the reason. So what is it?

He is 1000% correct and she is just parroting a narrative.. just because the numbers are different doesn't scream racism. It screams people make different decisions. Make better decisions and you'll have a better life. His asian comment is spot on and she literally can't answer him because it shatters her very shallow narrative!

[metalheadwallace]

LMAO! Larry Elder just made her look like a student that flunked out of Econ 101.

Larry Elder is one of the few people I trust to be honest!

As of August 8, 2022, the National Registry of Exonerations listed 3, 200 defendants who were convicted of crimes in the United States and later exonerated because they were innocent;1 53% of them were Black, nearly four times their proportion of the population, which is now about 13.6%.Sep 23, 2022.
Could this be an example?

This man is so lucid that he is making the left comptetely blind (and shocked)!

[dwaynejackson]

So successful blacks that say systemic racism exists dont know what theyre talking about? The " victimhood" thing is nothing more than a talking point..as long as you have racist people...they are in the system...duh...stop saying it doesnt exist and say achieve anyway

I would ask the young lady to what obvious entitlement did she have to get this job at Forbes? My high school daughter sounds more intelligent.

[peterpascone]

I'm sorry, Forbes, get rid of Brittany, even her voice is annoying.

"Stop being poor and you will not be poor" Goodness, Larry talks about symptoms but always ignores root causes.

Life is hard for most people. On the other hand a lot of people make life harder than it has to be. Larry Eider mentioned many things people do that make their lives harder than they have to be.

I like like Larry Elder’s. He’s the one who is free. He see’s that today is not like the 1960s. I’m an asian American man. I don’t experience racism. When I’m a customer at restaurants or in retail I get treated like everyone else. Exactly, in pro sports like the NFL and NBA, look at the percentage of players who are African Lineage. And people still complain about the leagues being racist.

This lady needs to listen with wisdom.

[PeterMJohns]

Dude cooked her 😂 that line about “it’s not even equal in your own house” that was a bar haha

[danielluna]

Larry Elder is what we need in the White House.

[GodBGames]

What's does she me mean? What does he mean by disparities? He just explained it.
