This video has many participants besides Denzel. Morgan Freeman for one.
Blurb from youtube:
Denzel Washington Explains Systemic Racism: Washington a legendary actor, his views on American's criminal justice systems and that black incarceration finds its roots in fatherless home. This is a really important message for liberals to take in. Remember, this is a man who portrayed Malcolm X on film. He's very well aware of the institutional racism that existed from slavery through to the Jim Crow laws in America. That is no longer the reality in modern day America. Self accountability is so much more important than blaming a system that is not against you. Victim culture helps no one prosper.
This is quite showing. Morgan Freeman, knows that race is irrelevant and should never be. In this interview with Mike Wallace, and Don Lemon Morgan Freeman is spot on. Racism ends when it isn't seen as a relevant point anymore. This is how you end racism. Not through some affirmative action, no quotas, no special privileges for minorities. Especially not guilt tripping white people because they had it better in the past. Just treat everyone as an equal and you get equality.
BTTT
Affirmative Action is the only institutional racism left today. That and the overtly racist Congressional Black Caucus.
The U.S. welfare system needs to follow Canada’s example. Needy mothers can receive welfare checks for their children, and the father does not have to leave the home.
No gangs of fatherless teens running in the streets in Canada.
Parts left out:
Anyone like me or let’s say Halle Berry or Morgan Freeman could never win an Academy Award due to the whites only racism rules.
Sports stars and music entertainers are held to minimum wage because they’re black but whites make a lot of money.
And Oprah Winfrey struggles to make ends meet and heats cans of store brand baked beans over a fire in a slapped together shack behind an auto parts junk yard. Not like she could ever achieve her dreams and make an estimated $2.6 billion.
And no black mayors, police chiefs or officers in any city. All ae white down the line. Racism.
It’s all due to racism.
Sounds like Terry Crews and Denzel understand what is going on.
This should not be passed on as “systemic“ or “institutional” for which there will never be an answer
It begins with the individual
All and good, but they need to speak out loudly now.
Gotta get those Trump numbers down, I tell ya.
But, but, but, I thought Biden was trumping Trump in the polls!! Sheeeesh.
Actually listen to a video or read a article next time before posting something
Denzel Washington is right. Not having father in the house is the problem
You know what “systemic racism” is? It’s how the Democrats have kept the black man dependent on government handouts and the terrible poverty in the Democrat cities. The Democrats have done this to the blacks in their cities.
I’m guilty.
I love being lectured by some Hollywood millionair
bkmk
When the government subsidizes single unwed mothers, you get more of them. When will anyone discuss cultural problems?
I thought Morgan Freeman was a lefty. This made him sound reasonable.
This was a good video. I actually like Denzelle Washington and must admit was afraid to view the video but I am glad I watched it.
NAACP (National Associate for the Advancement of Colored People - aren’t we ALL color of some type?)
HBCU (Historically Black College & Universities) - Why separate this out?
When you POINT OUT differences, that’s all you notice.
It’s kind of like when you buy a new car - say, a Ford Taurus (they don’t make these anymore, but go with me) - then, you notice every 15th car is a Taurus, and maybe every 20th of those are the same color as yours.
Anyone like me or let’s say Halle Berry or Morgan Freeman could never win an Academy Award due to the whites only racism rules.
For starters - and I’m going to go search Denzel, or Morgan, or any other number of famous actors.

Halle won an Oscar in 2002. And LOTS of other awards before, and since.
Sorry you misunderstood. That was the irony of my satire. The opposite of the self-pitying “racism” ploys. But as a wiser FReeper than I also noted, I had not really read the post which said Denzel had identified father absent problems as a cause of distress. I then apologized to the FReeper.
My satire mentioned achievements that belie the “racism” holding back all blacks. Many like my examples have risen high.
The Dems will never vote for that because it is in violation of LBJ’s ‘Great Society,’ in giving welfare ONLY if there was no adult male in the family, thus making the Federal Government the new ‘father’ of the family. It was the key to destroying the Black family that was on the economic edge of surviving and improving or failing.
