What did black people do to this administration that has allowed it to really stigmatize folks

of color?

And you know how hard it is.

You have you have folks of color in your family.

So when you see, you know, things, the Emmett Till stuff coming down or them doing all kinds

of removal of information of black heroes, how do you how do you how does that sit with

you?

Well, what what do you what exactly are you talking about?

What because you I'm talking about, I can tell you all this.

Yeah.

No, no.

I want to know what you don't know what I'm talking about.

So in in a lot of the museums, just there's so many I just, you know, where they're taking

down the actual history that happened in this country, slavery happened.

All kinds of stuff happened.

And it seems that it has been very easy for this administration to remove that and also

to denigrate.

Black folks who have worked their behinds off to get this American dream.

How do you I mean, you know, that was actually very helpful intervention, because I think

the story you're talking about is where, you know, allegedly the administration is holding

back the appointments of people based on skin color.

I've seen the story of things.

I'm talking about black history getting erased from public spaces.

Black voter districts are being dismantled.

Black leaders are being sidelined from our ranks.

Where do Americans of color fit in this vision?

Because it doesn't seem like we fit.

I think my view, since October of last year, there's been something like six thousand six

hundred and sixty eight refugees allowed into the country.

All but three were white South Africans.

So first of all, I'm very I'm very skeptical of that number because we have a lot of different

immigration pathways in the United States of America.

But let me just address his point.

Look, first of all, you ask the question and maybe you don't believe this coming from me,

but I think everybody is welcome in our political coalition, frankly, even if you didn't vote

for us.

Everybody is welcome in our country.

So long as you're an American citizen with the duties and the legal obligations and rights

to be here.

But let me just give you an example.

Yes.

OK, so you say that we're anti minority or anti.

I didn't say that.

I asked.

OK, OK, fine.

Be fair.

Fair.

Don't start this.

All right.

All right.

I mean, don't get me in trouble.

Don't start that stuff with me.

But I misinterpreted your question.

Let me let me answer your actual question there.

What I'm saying, I think.

OK, look at Washington, D.C., one of the most Democratic and one of the blackest by a share

of population, blackest cities in the United States.

Yeah.

Has seen a radical decrease in violent crimes and sexual assaults and murders.

we have tried to take the crime issue seriously in part because we believe

everybody whether you're black or white or rich or poor deserves to live in a

safe neighborhood. Why was why does a crime where's the crime step in I'm this

is not about lost their jobs right this is about this is about your you what

you're saying is we got to do more on the economy black history is not a race

when we get back yeah I'm telling you we celebrate black history we celebrate

all American history in this administration we have more with them by

the vice president JD Vance when we come back
