He said...."He thought we were in a good place" with Race relations before George Floyd's really doesn't have a DAMN CLUE!

Dont defund the police - make the police pay for their own insurance so if anything happens, then it doesn’t come at a cost to the taxpayer

[minoly]

This reality show has run its course. Its time for a Seinfeld like ending.

[MOEWETTA]

I've never seen a pig dance around so much.. He said its not systemic racism... Just happens to be a "widespread phenomenon" 🤦🏾‍♂️

[johntewhauwhau]

This guy has no creditability on BLM, so why is he being interviewed, he couldn't careless, about black lives, period.

[justinkosuk]

He thought we were in a good place before George Floyd? The AG. Really...

Trump fed his pet some good food today

[polsondemott]

This is the first time I have heard Barr be reasonable...

[doubleoseven]

its insane how disconnected this guy is. Bad leader right there.

[TheGamingPolitician]

If he really thinks that THEN ENACT RULES THAT’LL CURB THOSE PROBLEMS

As a black man I’ve experienced a racist cop once as a kid, when my mom was driving. As a man, I treat police with respect and always received the same back. There are racist cops but I do everything I can to not escalate the situation, knowing it’s possible for anyone to panic in certain situations

Yes, racism IS built into the system. That’s what “systemic racism” means. Many whites are offended by the phrase because it elucidates just how multifaceted in our society racism is and exposes its insidiousness.

Spent trillions of dollars on education over the last few decades as our world literacy ranks have fallen, greatly. I agree with some things hes saying. But education (which is means a lot to me for the black community) is a has been put on the backburner in many communities.

Barr is the very epitome of corruption in America! He should be defunded from his job.

[george]

When he gets home and Donald put the white hat on

[bryceg]

I just think white people need more black friends, to actually talk to, not just look at. This man obviously isn’t every white person but many will probably agree with his views. And this just isn’t right. We weren’t at a good time racially before this. Being scared isn’t good

[danisoto]

William Barr is a fantastic human being.

[knuckleaxiom]

These comments are way too harsh.. Barr was on point in this interview. He without sin...

[fvkijay]

The guy who sold out justice to politics complaining about justice lost to politics.

Now I've seen everything.

[machojones]

Dude. “If you kill you, I should be able too” is an OLD troupe. GTFOH.
