he has VERY BIG STAKE IN CBS !!! that's why HE CAN !!!but he also included why & jews either as a courtesy or inclusion 🙌to be kind even tho this event a blk thing...still about Neilsen Ratings, #1.
its powerful to you because you have a simple mind. Byron Allen is a race bater. A new one pops up every couple of years. His wife is white, how does he give a dam about black issuse/family and community? Use your logic not your emotion. Black Americans are killing themselves. It's Not America's fault your child can't read. Where are the fathers? Byron's wife is white, how is he speaking for black families? Every time blacks are mentioned, gay community is embedded. Yall can't see the game they are playing?
Why ? He doesn't put his money where his EMPTY mouth is . Everything he is saying on stage do U see programing on his network in line with his EMPTY lip service?
Black parents need to start teaching their kids about their own history! My dad taught us black history because he knew no one else would! It starts at home! You cannot depend on public schools to teach your kids the truth!
Correct but what the parents are teaching at home opposes what the teachers are teaching the kid at school. This makes the kid confused. Not to mention the kids peers are teaching them something different as well as the music, movies etc.
That is The Dumbest question I have ever heard..lol..77% of Black's have jobs so you are saying we don't contribute to school Taxes so that means no Black History?
@@knos360 Of course Black people pay taxes. The question was rhetorical. They should not have to rely on parents teaching Black history or any other subject.
@kenj280 So let me get this straight. So no History should be taught with Black's? Lol..So Slavery, any inventions ,Obama becoming President and any other History that has Happened in the U.S that involves Black folks shouldnt be taught.Please Tell me you are not that Stupid?
You fell for it. Dude is married to a white woman and live in a gated white community. he has enough money to push for an Anti black hate crime bill. But where is he at with that?? I'll wait. Y'all should stop worshiping celebrities and their written, feel good speech written by a white person. 😆😆😆😆 What a joke of a race we are indeed. Smdh
Byron is another compromised black man with a white wife. He is just a new black face to black and beg white people to fix black peoples problems. He himself can't even cultivate a black family structure. Open your eyes.
You wake people up by offering solutions, all he did was make a speech, blk hear speeches all the time from the pulpit! Social media has numbed many blk people from their own issues!
I was an educator for 42 yrs, mostly in all black schools. Around 1990 I started to see a shift in our AAmerican children. The lack of respect and motivation to do better and be better was disappearing. 5 out of 30 students were trying and those were the ones with parents supporting them and respected the encouragement from the teacher. They only cared about being a sports figure or rapping which is fine if you have the talent but most didn’t . I tried to teach them to always have a plan B . It was heartbreaking. It’s so sad , I treated all my students with respect and gave everyone the same highly qualified education and that the only year my students scored off the charts on on everything when I had a class of 26 students 1 African American and for 42 years I never gave up. So when you say enemies teaching your children, who do you mean?
@MandyZ1225 Good for you for teaching the curriculum standard and doing your best to keep students informed/engaged. But I think what Malcolm X was referring to was that black parents need to teach their own children things that are taught in school as well as outside of school. For example, one of my nephew's assignments for history class was to pick a country in Africa and write about how they were colonized/what happened, etc. I asked him why he didn't get to pick a country that did NOT get colonized? His response was, "There were countries that didn't get colonized?!" He didn't even know... because it wasn't even taught in the school.
@@tsing190Okay, well that would have been 2 countries, and unless he was in a classroom of 2 kids someone was going to have to research the colonized ones. Also isn't learning about the atrocities of colonialism not considered good practice when teaching black history? Sounds like YOU want to leave that part out of the curriculum out because it makes YOU uncomfortable. We should not rewrite history and we should never be selective about what we teach. TEACH IT ALL. This is coming from a high school history teacher who teaches US History and African American History. Also, saying he didn't know about the uncolonized countries because it wasn't taught in school should be taken with a grain of salt. Maybe it wasn't taught YET, or maybe just maybe it was taught and like kids tend to do, he did not pay attention. As a teacher it drives me nuts to teach things regularly just for students to go on in the future to say it was not taught! No it was taught, you just were chatting with friends and ignoring the lesson.
@josephekutshu7426 You missed my point. Good for you that you were a teacher. Btw, my nephew has an A in that class. Before you begin to get angry over an opinion that I'M ALLOWED to have, my point was that teachers are only allowed to teach the curriculum of what they're given. They can't go off subject. So because my nephew was only learning about colonized countries, I was asking him in a manner more to challenge the narrative of why should they only learn about the countries that were colonized? Also, btw, they are done with that lesson plan and sure enough... the teacher NEVER brought up the countries that were not colonized.
No, there was no truth. Byron is another compromised black man with a white wife. He is just a new black face to black and beg white people to fix black peoples problems. He himself can't even cultivate a black family structure. Open your eyes.
Malcolm X had some great truths as well... One America will never happen and those of us who care for Black Americans to receive what they have earned and deserve for generations need to take it.
@@AnnAnn-il2lkonce again you're wrong about life. Bryon didn't mention anything about the real down fall of black people. He did more blaming and begging white people to fix black people's problems. Bryon don't care about black family because he doesn't have pride enough to cultivate a black with a black woman. You're just as lost. We've heard this speech before, Bryon is just a new compromised negro with a white wife to say it.
Omg! I've been waiting for so long for someone with a platform to stand up and say something like this! More importantly every one with a platform should make it their duty to address black America with the highest level of truth
You are simple minded. He didn't say anything about the core of black peoples down fall, which is lack of fathers and two parent households. Still blaming and begging white folks to fix our problems. Yall weak af.
Exactly Byron, Educational attainment is the goal to stop the carnage of racism, poverty, voting, and health disparities among other barriers to being an equal American. That's exactly why there are those who are going out of their way to prevent black people from getting certain programs and scholarships to attend college.

Richard Pryor didn't have a black wife, James Earl Jones, Quincy Jones, Dave Chapelle and now Eddie Murphy, etc., why haven't we canceled them, yet? Black people, come on! Let's stop being selective on who gets a pass and who doesn't.
Good afternoon Byron last evening my 81 year old husband and I watched the Giro awards which we enjoyed very much. I loved every minute of it. I have a little favor to ask I am running out of time I will be 80 in May. I would love to see you run for office. I know Martin had a Dream but Byron you are the future. I would help you win by calling people and getting your name out there. So please think about it and I will watch for the great news. Your speech will stay with me forever because it came from you heart. Patricia H DiMarino
God bless you Pat.im gonna interject by saying NO ONE knows how much time they have.people 70,80,90 have outlived the doctors who cared for them.George Joesph,who runs an insurance company& is a billionare,is 102 years old,so keep in mind you may be just getting started! Take care!
Half those Black people in that room have white spouses. He’s just pandering to black people to support his business so he can transfer his wealth to his white wife and her family.
Brother Byron is a visionary, truth teller! There is an urgent need to concentrate our tremendous talents & resources in building independent Black institutions - to protect us against deepening, White backlash.
Definitely a great speech, that being said, how many black people who already are in and better off position are going to invest in the black communities, from real estate that will help blacks and others afford a house, better health care, investing in trade schools in the black communities, better yet building alot of black wall streets in america, let see what the out come will be after this great speech!!!
There is black owned bakery in my neighborhood whenever I go there I always tip generously. I don't have the funds to invest in real estate/businesses but I do what I can to help.
@@targetegratThe only thing that will change our lives is to run our own school system K thru 12. And teach our greatness 365 days a week. Then our truth about who we really are, will set us free.
As a community we can and should be doing this as well. It is first, OUR responsibility. Set a Saturday aside to teach our younger generations. This will give them more things to love about themselves and their ancestry.
It's not just people with a lot of wealth responsibility to do that. It's the community as a whole who needs to do it for themselves. The fact that the community continues to support dangerous music, shaming their own women for getting educated, shaming Black men like Russell Wilson because he comes off as a 'simp' and spending almost 80hrs a week watching TV, gossip sites, and sharing misinformation on FB is not a great way to build a healthy community. I could go on and on but a lot of Black folk don't want to hear it because it's comfortable to sit in a state of victimhood. It doesn't require much because it doesn't require change.
Hopefully NOT . Who is this clown leading ? Surely NOT the blk community . Does his network/channel reflect all his empty talking points ? He has NEVER aired any intellectual programing on the grio.
@khalidnamar8723 The power structure this America can not stand. There is fully functioning NAZI RGIME Gestopa trappings and all America is complicit in it up to her eyeballs (isit - REAL ) TO allow 15, 16, and 70 year old women and children to fight and die on Ukraine then seeing 18,000 thousand women and children being slaughtered on their own lands , with American weapons, Corporations running amuck inside America. Go check your food supply . Enough said 😮😮😮😮
Absolutely one of the most amazing speeches - he needs an award for his speech! All of it was nothing but the Truth & to see his history it is inspiring if he had only married a black woman!

Thank you Byron Allen for, as MLK would say, for making it simple - stating the truth as simple as it is. In 2024, Black America, until we are collective known as just America, must continue to fight for our human rights and justice. We must continue to support each other and never let others divide us. We are stronger together than ever for which a change is gonna come. When I look in the mirror, I must also see my brother and sister standing beside me and behind me are our ancestors who never gave up the fight. Let's support the get out and right to vote on the local and national level. Set the change in motion by exercising your right to vote for those who recognize the fight for truth.
@laughingdog747 Yet You People WONT stay away from us no matter where we are on Earth, lol.What Nerve you have saying that KNOWING your folks WILL NOT leave us alone..and Guess where the Proof is? Right here because look at you.Why are you here watching what we are doing and talking about? Lol
Racist people have consistently destroyed nice black neighborhoods from Black Wallstreet to present day. There was a man that burned down a lot of new homes being built when he fought out that most of the buyers were black. I think this happened in Charles County, MD around 2010. Now you will be surprised how many black people live in these white areas. I don't see it as moving to the white people moving to a higher economic bracket. @@laughingdog747
I have never watched such an uplifting awards show. And Byron is my hero. That video needs to be shown in classrooms everywhere. Thank You Byron from a teacher in iowa, one of the states whose governor has lost their damn mind. Little inside on the bill on how to teach black history. the idiots who wrote it made an entire page of mistakes. We need to send our best and brightest who understand the inequalities we should have overcome by now to government. We need to demand accountability from our government. We need to call BS every time an R brings up BLM protests. I was proud to lay on the pavement in Des Moines.
Eloquent and empty, is what comes up for me. Very safely weaved together sentences with an overemphasis on what too many already agree with, yet avoiding the most difficult aspects of the “truth” that would actually disrupt any patterns both, within and surrounding “The Black” community. I wouldn’t expect more from this stage or at this level. Felt like a nice way to grant a pat on the back for those in the room with no accountability or call to action. All the right words were said…with real leadership, all that matters is the ensuing actions.
This is the most honest and truthful comment on this video! It’s really time for us to stop falling for the Obama speeches! And build in our communities!!
byr0n surely doesn't , Do you see any programing on his channel that reflects his EMPTY speech ? He would've been better off saying absolutely nothing as far as I am concerned. He just opened the door for me to light into his @zz.
If Black people continue along with the same narrative that was laid down by the wicked we will be in the most dire situation. I don't agree with Byron Allen lumping us with other groups of people. Including us with those that would rather us to be excluded doesn't make sense. We have to do for self as a people above anything else before its too late.
Imagine, a black billionaire still asking YT America for blacks to be treated fairly in 2023. MLK and MX must be spinning in their graves...It just sounds so weak
What resonates with me is his statement about the disparity between Blacks and Whites when it comes to education. The key to a successful turnaround does not lie with White America; it lies with us Blacks. I no longer reside in America, but I do vacation there annually. Believe me when I tell you it breaks my heart seeing so many still doing things which will lead to nowhere. I still see a reluctance to read, which is a cornerstone of learning. I still see spending money where there is none. And yes; I still see way too many kids being raised without a father in the home. We cannot change what happened to us, but we can decide to make good, sound decisions, which will better position us in the future. We know better and it is time to do better.
I think it’s interesting that the gews were not to blame for their demise with the Germans. It was the Germans fault. But the gews were afforded reparations. Black people on the other hand are at fault for the hundreds of years of their oppression - no reparations for damage done. Yes. We have to fix ourselves, and I believe we will given all we have overcome. But the expectation is that no crime has been committed to blacks people (ADOS) that deserves justice. Everyone else got reparations, but ADOS - deserves nothing. But still we rise.
@@monique0096 I definitely believe Blacks deserve reparations, but I see no chance of this happening. No one is coming to save the day. We all need to understand this and set out to build the life we want for ourselves and our children.
@@robertdavis1084 I understand that sentiment and agree that those that owe reparations do not have the humanity to do the right thing. Without this innate humanity, what makes you believe that any gains we make will be met with an honest acknowledgment and acceptance of that progress? What will we have to do live freely and not be attacked, falsely imprisoned, or discriminated agains?. They will find a way to undo the gains. History has proven that. LA now has non-citizen police officers. They are recruiting foreigners for the military and promising them citizenship for the successful completion of their service time. Illegals that don’t look like us are getting free job training, free money and free housing using black tax dollars because they are being out in our neighborhoods. All while the daily reports continue to come in of innocent black men serving time crimes they did not commit, unarmed black men are shot by the law while white threats walk away alive, professional black people are arrested for living in upscale neighborhoods, or driving, walking, eating, etc. while black. Successful ADOS still worry about living in Amerikkka just like average struggling ADOS. The super rich ADOS in the entertainment industry seem to have bought into the system and occasionally get their wake up call. But for the rest of us the struggle continues in spite of our success, but still we rise.
@@monique0096 you concluded by saying "but still we rise." Truer and more appropriate words have never been spoken. I don´t know how old you are, but I`m 57 and I am well aware that we still have many hurdles to overcome until we get to where we wish to be. I get it. At the same time, I do not believe that focusing on what others are doing, or aren`t doing, is beneficial to us; I believe we`d be better served by concentrating on what we can control. Although the situation is far from good, it has improved and I am confident that it will continue to do so albeit at a slow pace. No longer are we enslaved; no longer are we not allowed in restaurants in southern cities. No longer are we not allowed to serve in certain military units. ( I am a veteran) No longer are we not allowed to know how to read, yet we are still too reluctant to do so regularly, or read to our kids on a regular basis. Why? When are we going to learn to turn the TV off and pick up a book? More than ever before, WE are in control of our destiny and we have to understand that if we are to achieve true equality and real freedom, it is us who have to make this happen. America enslaved Blacks for almost 250 years and look how far we have come. We are resilient and I would like you to remember this when it seems that America is doing all it can to keep us down. I travel to Houston at least once a year and believe me when I tell you it hurts me to my heart to see what so many of us are still doing. And it has little to do with others. I`m assuming you live in LA, so I don´t think I need to point out the bad decisions way too many of us are still making. This needs to change! When we begin to make better life decisions, I guarantee you that those trying to keep us down will find themselves unable to do so.

I don't mean to put a damper on anybody's moment here I was born and raised with people in my lineage particularly on my father's side of the family who were real revolutionaries in the 60s let me be more clear the Black Power movement not the Civil Rights Movement I've heard many great speeches Mini I have those great quotes in most of the literature that is in my archival library that I've built over 27 years from men and women who not only had critical thought but put that critical thought into real vision so let me quote one of my favorites "I rather March into hell knowing the truth then to waltz into a perceived heaven with a bunch of fools" for God's sake my people and definitely for our ancestors get it together my people please get it together we have no one but us
Bryon is right on. Many black history events weren’t taught in schools. I left the school system in 1993 and it wasn’t until the age of the internet that I truly got an education on black history. I totally get it-black history has been laid to the side. It shouldn’t be that way. Black history IS American history. The good and the bad. History needs to be taught to keep the negativity from repeating itself.

Right on Byron. We need more positive, mature people like you. There is too much negativity in popular culture these days. We need to move in a positive direction. Appreciate these words.
SO GOOD!!!!! Thank you, Mr. Byron. I'll be the first college graduate in my family, and it means so much to me. I grew up in poverty and I know firsthand how hard it is to make it out. I'm still on my journey but I'm not giving up, thank you so much for the encouragement.
I had respect for Byron when he was bumpin shoulders along side with Sarah Persell back in the day!!! i have homeboy Chris I used to say how he and Bryon looked alike I would go to West farms mall where chris worked kenny shoe store at the time yelling out loud yo it's byron allen just knowing it brought positivity everyone could see he favored him Chris got some chicks thanks to me early on!!! But all seriousness Byron is a GOOD DUDE and is appreciated. That message was needed!!! thanks Brother for caring about us as a people. This video made my day
I don’t know why, but this awards ceremony made me feel like I was at home on a weekday night in the 90’s watching the music awards on tv at 8 o’clock. Everyone’s dressed up, speaking properly and there’s so much love and respect on the stage. The Grio was the “Grown Folks Awards”.
Well how 'bout putting some 90's style programing on his network like we had in the 90"s ? Tavis Smiley, Ed Gordon . U don't see any of that on his network. This is just political theatre .

No real discussions , no deep dive into subjects. Where is it at ? I can't believe y'all fell 4 this.
I remember watching Byron Allen as a kid, I'm talking like 40 plus years ago . I loved seeing him on tv and I would always wondered what happened to him. Why is it I didn't see this talented and intelligent brother on tv anymore. Little did I know this brother was behind the scenes doing big things . May God continue to bless him, I pray everyday that the black community will come together and unite to better not just our community but for this great country as a whole . Lord if we can reach our youth and teach them to see value in themselves and everyone around them. To stop this senseless killing . To take education seriously and vote like their lives dependent on it . We could grow our political and economic power in this country. Who knows how many Byron Allen's we could have saved and still can save. Let's get it together black America, we've done it before and we can do it again. One love my brother's and sisters ❤ ✌🏾

Think whatever you want. Just do it critically and with genuine intellectual honesty. The 5 Steps to Critical Thinking: What is critical thinking? In general, critical thinking refers to actively questioning statements rather than blindly accepting them. Critical thinking results in radical free will. 1. The critical thinker is flexible yet maintains an attitude of healthy skepticism. Critical thinkers are open to new information, ideas, and claims. They genuinely consider alternative explanations and possibilities. However, this open-mindedness is tempered by a healthy sense of skepticism (Hyman, 2007). The critical thinker consistently asks, “What evidence supports this claim?” 2. The critical thinker scrutinizes the evidence before drawing conclusions. Critical thinkers strive to weigh all the available evidence before arriving at conclusions. In evaluating evidence, critical thinkers distinguish between empirical evidence versus opinions based on feelings or personal experience. 3. The critical thinker can assume other perspectives. Critical thinkers are not imprisoned by their own points of view. Nor are they limited in their capacity to imagine life experiences and perspectives that are fundamentally different from their own. Rather, the critical thinker strives to understand and evaluate issues from many different angles. 4. The critical thinker is aware of biases and assumptions. In evaluating evidence and ideas, critical thinkers strive to identify the biases and assumptions that are inherent in any argument (Riggio & Halpern, 2006). Critical thinkers also try to identify and minimize the influence of their own biases. 5. The critical thinker engages in reflective thinking. Critical thinkers avoid knee-jerk responses. Instead, critical thinkers are reflective. Most complex issues are unlikely to have a simple solution. Therefore, critical thinkers resist the temptation to sidestep complexity by boiling an issue down to an either/or, yes/no kind of proposition. Instead, the critical thinker expects and accepts complexity (Halpern, 2007). Critical thinking is not a single skill, but rather a set of attitudes and thinking skills. As is true with any set of skills, you can get better at these skills with practice. In a nut shell, critical thinking is the active process of minimizing preconceptions and biases while evaluating evidence, determining the conclusions that can reasonably be drawn from evidence, and considering alternative explanations for research findings or other phenomena. CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS >Why might other people want to discourage you from critical thinking? >In what situations is it probably most difficult or challenging for you to exercise critical thinking skills? Why? > What can you do or say to encourage others to use critical thinking in evaluating questionable claims or assertions?
The truth is we got to structure our families correctly. Stop having babies out of wedlock. Create partnerships and relationships based on good values.
There are also problems within wedlock. Marriage is good, and it has its place, but it is not a panacea for all that is wrong with a community or society at large.

You wake people up by offering solutions, all he did was make a speech, blk hear speeches all the time from the pulpit! Social media has numbed many blk people from their own issues!
@2morrowICU What are doing???
Like Malcolm said you’re a fool to let your enemies educate your children
I was an educator for 42 yrs, mostly in all black schools. Around 1990 I started to see a shift in our AAmerican children. The lack of respect and motivation to do better and be better was disappearing. 5 out of 30 students were trying and those were the ones with parents supporting them and respected the encouragement from the teacher. They only cared about being a sports figure or rapping which is fine if you have the talent but most didn’t . I tried to teach them to always have a plan B . It was heartbreaking. It’s so sad , I treated all my students with respect and gave everyone the same highly qualified education and that the only year my students scored off the charts on on everything when I had a class of 26 students 1 African American and for 42 years I never gave up. So when you say enemies teaching your children, who do you mean?
@MandyZ1225 Good for you for teaching the curriculum standard and doing your best to keep students informed/engaged. But I think what Malcolm X was referring to was that black parents need to teach their own children things that are taught in school as well as outside of school. For example, one of my nephew's assignments for history class was to pick a country in Africa and write about how they were colonized/what happened, etc. I asked him why he didn't get to pick a country that did NOT get colonized? His response was, "There were countries that didn't get colonized?!" He didn't even know... because it wasn't even taught in the school.
@@tsing190Okay, well that would have been 2 countries, and unless he was in a classroom of 2 kids someone was going to have to research the colonized ones. Also isn't learning about the atrocities of colonialism not considered good practice when teaching black history? Sounds like YOU want to leave that part out of the curriculum out because it makes YOU uncomfortable. We should not rewrite history and we should never be selective about what we teach. TEACH IT ALL. This is coming from a high school history teacher who teaches US History and African American History. Also, saying he didn't know about the uncolonized countries because it wasn't taught in school should be taken with a grain of salt. Maybe it wasn't taught YET, or maybe just maybe it was taught and like kids tend to do, he did not pay attention. As a teacher it drives me nuts to teach things regularly just for students to go on in the future to say it was not taught! No it was taught, you just were chatting with friends and ignoring the lesson.
@josephekutshu7426 You missed my point. Good for you that you were a teacher. Btw, my nephew has an A in that class. Before you begin to get angry over an opinion that I'M ALLOWED to have, my point was that teachers are only allowed to teach the curriculum of what they're given. They can't go off subject. So because my nephew was only learning about colonized countries, I was asking him in a manner more to challenge the narrative of why should they only learn about the countries that were colonized? Also, btw, they are done with that lesson plan and sure enough... the teacher NEVER brought up the countries that were not colonized.
And.......

Everywhere I go , everyone gets the same treatment , if you show respect you get respect.
You are simple minded. He didn't say anything about the core of black peoples down fall, which is lack of fathers and two parent households. Still blaming and begging white folks to fix our problems. Yall weak af.

Exactly Byron, Educational attainment is the goal to stop the carnage of racism, poverty, voting, and health disparities among other barriers to being an equal American. That's exactly why there are those who are going out of their way to prevent black people from getting certain programs and scholarships to attend college.

I have a little favor to ask I am running out of time I will be 80 in May. I would love to see you run for office. I know Martin had a Dream but Byron you are the future. I would help you win by calling people and getting your name out there. So please think about it and I will watch for the great news. Your speech will stay with me forever because it came from you heart.

He didn't mention the destruction of the Black family. Nothing will improve for Black people until we fix the family. Period!
I agree. Even yt people know that.
he mention gays though! that lets you know he is bought and paid for with his white wife.
Family is too far gone. Feminism and who dudes move now is...
Thank you for saying this out loud .
Oprah should have been on this years ago! She was too worried about African women in another country rather than her own backyard.
Soo grateful to Byron Allen for this most needed platform where we bring our resources together to help humanity.❤
Representation doesn't matter as much as working together as a people, because we have many Black faces doing the dirty work for the system.
Half those Black people in that room have white spouses. He’s just pandering to black people to support his business so he can transfer his wealth to his white wife and her family.
Brother Byron is a visionary, truth teller! There is an urgent need to concentrate our tremendous talents & resources in building independent Black institutions - to protect us against deepening, White backlash.
Definitely a great speech, that being said, how many black people who already are in and better off position are going to invest in the black communities, from real estate that will help blacks and others afford a house, better health care, investing in trade schools in the black communities, better yet building alot of black wall streets in america, let see what the out come will be after this great speech!!!
There is black owned bakery in my neighborhood whenever I go there I always tip generously. I don't have the funds to invest in real estate/businesses but I do what I can to help.
@@targetegratThe only thing that will change our lives is to run our own school system K thru 12. And teach our greatness 365 days a week. Then our truth about who we really are, will set us free.
As a community we can and should be doing this as well. It is first, OUR responsibility. Set a Saturday aside to teach our younger generations. This will give them more things to love about themselves and their ancestry.
It's not just people with a lot of wealth responsibility to do that. It's the community as a whole who needs to do it for themselves. The fact that the community continues to support dangerous music, shaming their own women for getting educated, shaming Black men like Russell Wilson because he comes off as a 'simp' and spending almost 80hrs a week watching TV, gossip sites, and sharing misinformation on FB is not a great way to build a healthy community. I could go on and on but a lot of Black folk don't want to hear it because it's comfortable to sit in a state of victimhood. It doesn't require much because it doesn't require change.
Considering how many of those businesses experience robberies, vandalism, and everyday ghetto tom foolery, I don't think it will be many.
Thank you Byron! Hopefully everyone paid attention and follows your lead.
Hopefully NOT . Who is this clown leading ? Surely NOT the blk community . Does his network/channel reflect all his empty talking points ?

I have never watched such an uplifting awards show. And Byron is my hero. That video needs to be shown in classrooms everywhere. Thank You Byron from a teacher in iowa, one of the states whose governor has lost their damn mind. Little inside on the bill on how to teach black history. the idiots who wrote it made an entire page of mistakes. We need to send our best and brightest who understand the inequalities we should have overcome by now to government. We need to demand accountability from our government. We need to call BS every time an R brings up BLM protests. I was proud to lay on the pavement in Des Moines.
Eloquent and empty, is what comes up for me. Very safely weaved together sentences with an overemphasis on what too many already agree with, yet avoiding the most difficult aspects of the “truth” that would actually disrupt any patterns both, within and surrounding “The Black” community.
I wouldn’t expect more from this stage or at this level. Felt like a nice way to grant a pat on the back for those in the room with no accountability or call to action. All the right words were said…with real leadership, all that matters is the ensuing actions.
This is the most honest and truthful comment on this video! It’s really time for us to stop falling for the Obama speeches! And build in our communities!!

Imagine, a black billionaire still asking YT America for blacks to be treated fairly in 2023. MLK and MX must be spinning in their graves...It just sounds so weak
I'm glad he said this. It needed to be said!
What resonates with me is his statement about the disparity between Blacks and Whites when it comes to education. The key to a successful turnaround does not lie with White America; it lies with us Blacks. I no longer reside in America, but I do vacation there annually. Believe me when I tell you it breaks my heart seeing so many still doing things which will lead to nowhere. I still see a reluctance to read, which is a cornerstone of learning. I still see spending money where there is none. And yes; I still see way too many kids being raised without a father in the home. We cannot change what happened to us, but we can decide to make good, sound decisions, which will better position us in the future. We know better and it is time to do better.
I think it’s interesting that the gews were not to blame for their demise with the Germans. It was the Germans fault. But the gews were afforded reparations. Black people on the other hand are at fault for the hundreds of years of their oppression - no reparations for damage done. Yes. We have to fix ourselves, and I believe we will given all we have overcome. But the expectation is that no crime has been committed to blacks people (ADOS) that deserves justice. Everyone else got reparations, but ADOS - deserves nothing. But still we rise.
@@monique0096 I definitely believe Blacks deserve reparations, but I see no chance of this happening. No one is coming to save the day. We all need to understand this and set out to build the life we want for ourselves and our children.
@@robertdavis1084 I understand that sentiment and agree that those that owe reparations do not have the humanity to do the right thing. Without this innate humanity, what makes you believe that any gains we make will be met with an honest acknowledgment and acceptance of that progress? What will we have to do live freely and not be attacked, falsely imprisoned, or discriminated agains?. They will find a way to undo the gains. History has proven that. LA now has non-citizen police officers. They are recruiting foreigners for the military and promising them citizenship for the successful completion of their service time. Illegals that don’t look like us are getting free job training, free money and free housing using black tax dollars because they are being out in our neighborhoods. All while the daily reports continue to come in of innocent black men serving time crimes they did not commit, unarmed black men are shot by the law while white threats walk away alive, professional black people are arrested for living in upscale neighborhoods, or driving, walking, eating, etc. while black. Successful ADOS still worry about living in Amerikkka just like average struggling ADOS. The super rich ADOS in the entertainment industry seem to have bought into the system and occasionally get their wake up call. But for the rest of us the struggle continues in spite of our success, but still we rise.
@@monique0096 you concluded by saying "but still we rise." Truer and more appropriate words have never been spoken.
I don´t know how old you are, but I`m 57 and I am well aware that we still have many hurdles to overcome until we get
to where we wish to be. I get it. At the same time, I do not believe that focusing on what others are doing, or aren`t doing, is beneficial to us; I believe we`d be better served by
concentrating on what we can control. Although the situation is far from good, it has improved and I am confident that it will continue to do so albeit at a slow pace. No longer are we enslaved; no longer are we not allowed in restaurants in southern cities. No longer are we not allowed to serve in certain military units. ( I am a veteran)
No longer are we not allowed to know how to read, yet we are still too reluctant to do so regularly, or read to our kids on a regular basis. Why? When are we going to learn to turn
the TV off and pick up a book? More than ever before, WE are in control of our destiny and we have to understand that if we are to achieve true equality and real freedom, it is us
who have to make this happen.
America enslaved Blacks for almost 250 years and look how far we have come. We are resilient and I would like you to remember this when it seems that America is doing all it
can to keep us down.
I travel to Houston at least once a year and believe me when I tell you it hurts me to my heart to see what so many of us are still doing. And it has little to do with others. I`m
assuming you live in LA, so I don´t think I need to point out the bad decisions way too many of us are still making. This needs to change! When we begin to make better life
decisions, I guarantee you that those trying to keep us down will find themselves unable to do so.

Bryon is right on. Many black history events weren’t taught in schools. I left the school system in 1993 and it wasn’t until the age of the internet that I truly got an education on black history. I totally get it-black history has been laid to the side. It shouldn’t be that way. Black history IS American history. The good and the bad. History needs to be taught to keep the negativity from repeating itself.
Most of American History is a redacted revision of history, especially when it concerns Black History

Also, all these millionaire athletes can go back to their respective communities start, at the least, a viable grocery store. NBA Basketball great Hakeem Alajuwon took his wealth and opened a hospital in Nigeria !!! ENOUGH SAID ……
He told no lies. #respect
Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
WOO! That room is FULL of black EXCELLENCE 🙌🏾
Think whatever you want. Just do it critically and with genuine intellectual honesty.
The 5 Steps to Critical Thinking:
What is critical thinking?
In general, critical thinking refers to actively questioning statements rather than blindly accepting them.
Critical thinking results in radical free will.
1. The critical thinker is flexible yet maintains an attitude of healthy skepticism.
Critical thinkers are open to new information, ideas, and claims. They genuinely consider alternative explanations and possibilities. However, this open-mindedness is tempered by a healthy sense of skepticism (Hyman, 2007).
The critical thinker consistently asks, “What evidence supports this claim?”
2. The critical thinker scrutinizes the evidence before drawing conclusions.
Critical thinkers strive to weigh all the available evidence before arriving at conclusions. In evaluating evidence, critical thinkers distinguish between empirical evidence versus opinions based on feelings or personal experience.
3. The critical thinker can assume other perspectives.
Critical thinkers are not imprisoned by their own points of view. Nor are they limited in their capacity to imagine life experiences and perspectives that are fundamentally different from their own. Rather, the critical thinker strives to understand and evaluate issues from many different angles.
4. The critical thinker is aware of biases and assumptions.
In evaluating evidence and ideas, critical thinkers strive to identify the biases and assumptions that are inherent in any argument (Riggio & Halpern, 2006). Critical thinkers also try to identify and minimize the influence of their own biases.
5. The critical thinker engages in reflective thinking.
Critical thinkers avoid knee-jerk responses. Instead, critical thinkers are reflective. Most complex issues are unlikely to have a simple solution. Therefore, critical thinkers resist the temptation to sidestep complexity by boiling an issue down to an either/or, yes/no kind of proposition. Instead, the critical thinker expects and accepts complexity (Halpern, 2007).
Critical thinking is not a single skill, but rather a set of attitudes and thinking skills. As is true with any set of skills, you can get better at these skills with practice.
In a nut shell, critical thinking is the active process of minimizing preconceptions and biases while evaluating evidence, determining the conclusions that can reasonably be drawn from evidence, and considering alternative explanations for research findings or other phenomena.
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS
>Why might other people want to discourage you from critical thinking?
>In what situations is it probably most difficult or challenging for you to exercise critical thinking skills? Why?
> What can you do or say to encourage others to use critical thinking in evaluating questionable claims or assertions?
The Truth is so Powerful!
The truth is we got to structure our families correctly. Stop having babies out of wedlock. Create partnerships and relationships based on good values.
There are also problems within wedlock. Marriage is good, and it has its place, but it is not a panacea for all that is wrong with a community or society at large.
True. But that's not just a blk thing
There has been many successful people who come from single family household.
Wait know. We did just do for over 400yrs. So code of conduct is in order
@pr4275....AMEN!
Always speak truth to power
Love this! Thank you, Byron!🫶🏾🙌🏾📿
you have a simple mind sir. You dont even see what Byron is doing? First, how can you have black people/ family/ community at heart when he cant even cultivate a black family with his white wife? 2nd, Did you notice how he lumped other communities in with black people?(lgbt). this alone proves that he is compromised and selling more destabilizing and dysfunctional ideas to black people. bro open your eyes.
Haven't been fortunate to meet him, but I could not agree more. I spent most of my life in the media. Wish I could've stayed.
The speech that Byron Allen gave is exactly what needs to be said, heard and implemented in this world in order for us to become what what all of the past leaders have strived to achieve. One world; one nation under God!
My divine queen, have you ever listen to a poem by, Guillermo Hill. On TH-cam???
All of those Americans he's naming ARE succeeding EXCEPT the "Black" Americans. We at Be The Power/ United Sons & Daughters of Freedmen would love to interview Byron Allen
I need the full showwww please
Byron Allen sets a fine example for black American men. This brother is a true success story.
Byron is another compromised black man with a white wife. He is just a new black face to black and beg white people to fix black peoples problems. He himself can't even cultivate a black family structure. Open your eyes.
BRAVO 🔥 👏🏽 🔥 👏🏽 🔥
Thank you, Byron Allen CBS, for airing this awards show!
This is who we should be putting alongside Tyler P, came from NOWHERE and is a powerhouse… Hip Hop talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk, he puts his money where his mouth is
