Coming from the last person on Earth that should be talking about the history of American descendants of slavery. She doesn’t speak for them.

She also conveniently ignores them and stands against their reparations.

[huhgangmenace]

Why? Why does the media keep putting people on to talk about juneteenth that do not have an ancestry of antebellum slavery??

Couldn’t y’all find a black women that is a foundational Black American?

[ApexCotureMag]

🗣 In light of recent tragedies no one cared to even mention Juneteenth 6 months ago but now it’s an election year and these politicians can’t wait to pander for the black vote! I see you! 👎🏾😒

Smh clearly by the comments on this video. Many did not watch the video but were quick to make their negative comments. A good healthy conversation all around from everyone involved with some valid and respectful points about our countries past, present and hopeful future moving forward but some in the comment section clearly missed that message.

Why not have a American Descendant of slavery to speak specifically about Juneteenth? She's not black and not a Descendant ... come on guys!!!

[i.b.gt.v]

Hold up how's she talking about black issues I mean really when's the last time someone black spoke about Latinos man people need to wake up a few months ago she was all about her people #NoAntiblackracism

Immigration isn't a Black American problem at all

I dont watch CNN for the same reason I dont store my contact lenses in bleach.

[FireinTheBowl]

She never even heard of it a month ago. She is a joke.

[Phased]

AOC is a freakin smoke show. I've never had a crush on a member of congress before 😂

[jojorey]

Dear Miz AOC, what have you done for your district? I know you go around the USA and sow discord, but besides that, what have you done that’s positive for the people that voted for you? Talk about that, what positive things have you done? You’re great at criticizing other people that are actually trying to do something but it’s never good enough for you. Green New deal sounds like a children’s book about a far away place with like Alice in Wonderland. You might be able to accomplish something if you weren’t such a hypocrite.

She is discusting how she became a rep. is beyond me. The dems are ludicrous makes me sick.
Im voting NO on joe

[rockscousteau]

Ocasio-Cortez is like a little child that wanders into a conversation she knows nothing about. This woman needs to be working in a Wal Mart check out line.

[OOangelo]

The holiday we really need is election day, that way all working people can vote without having to worry about losing money.

[good-Vibesnly]

So they steal bread for their families? I never knew DIOR and GUCCI are bakerys.

[brianhood]

Why is everyone in the comments being so negative 👎 about AOC speaking on this subject. I can’t believe all you guys. Btw I’m a white Guy saying this. STOP 🛑 BEING SO NEGATIVE 👎 AND JUST LISTEN TO WHAT THERE SAYING ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
