Back in high school I never thought he would grow up to be Dr. Wes Bellamy. Super proud of you! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
People can Google everything else, but can’t Google some information that they want to know in the political forum?
THANK YOU! When I try to inform people they don't believe me anyway, so it's on them to research.
I been Google all time formers and now Presidents what done in offices.
The problem with google is that the posted information is all good. It’s like you don’t know what’s true or not.
You nailed it
I remember him from when he was a teacher at my high school, he left to pursue politics. Crazy to see him on The Breakfast Club, he came far!

Shout out to Dr. Wes. South Carolina State alumni and making major impact in this society. Proud of you bro
People please grow up. It is our job to push and make these politicians do what we want. Voting is only the first step
Democrats gotta learn a hard lesson
People have been pushing and pushing on Gaza and nothing. People act like black people haven't been pushing for decades. These politicians don't care.
Politics are controlled by lobbyists and campaign financiers. Until money is removed, you can’t hold people accountable.
THANK YOU! Too many of us think it begins and ends with a single vote
I appreciate hearing this dude talk. Dr Wes.
Nice to see a great Black man from my city on here ❤❤❤VA in the building👊
th-cam.com/video/M5mRzwrDyWc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aUjqAaDIcoFe46e3
This was an amazing segment! These are the conversations that I love to watch on this platform to highlight people in politics really doing the work and making a difference. I feel very energized after watching this!
Great interview! We love to hear about this stuff!
Great interview VSU is so proud of you!!
This interview started off in a professional way!! Kudos to Wes
This learned man is doing his best to educate these two hosts politics is about policies not personalities,but they still can’t comprehend
I just don't see how politicians still go on a show
You right on the money, I don’t either, maybe because of their platform
They go on the show to politick. How's that hard to understand. They can possibly reach more people by going on these platforms
I hear you. Envy and CTG go so hard criticizing Trump and Biden as well as the democrats. I don't see them going hard on MAGA. Complaining does nothing. I really get annoyed with their whinning. complaining g
Please for now on have more black men like this on the show ! And specifically make him apart of the political aspect of the show
Why do they keep saying stimulus checks, but never talk about 401k’s and low interest rates 😡
because the stock market is higher under biden, and low interest rates happened under trump because of a global pandemic
Stimulus checks are brought up because some people are saying that’s why they are voting for Trump.
Where you been?
because the stock market is higher under biden, and interest rates were lower under trump because of global pandemic
Cuz the average don't have a 401k or know anything about them
@@melissamunford3849 No one that thinks conservatively wants stimulus checks. Only Democrat affinity people speak on stimulus checks. They unfortunately don’t realize you accepting a $1200 check only to pay higher prices for the next 20 years. They take 100 out the bank, give us $1, and pocket the rest. Have you even read what was ACTUALLY in those bills that gave people stimulus checks or did you happily cash and spend it?
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview
We need more Black Leaders and multi cultural leaders!!!
I really enjoyed this brother and his love for our community. He's very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Great interview ❤❤
Great interview.
Such a great interview!
Good interview 🙏🏾
Great job Wes! Keep up the good work. Thank you for being a leader of our community!
Great and informative Interview!👏🏾👏🏾
@11:20 Being a supposedly educated grown man and saying "pause" is very dumb. No one should use these childish homophobic pop culture slang terms, but especially not someone who is trying to be taken seriously.
Agreed
OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW!!!!!!
I see you Wes!!! Shoutout da VILLE, VA stand up! 💪🏾
Speak my brother speak my brother I love this young cat he need to get us talk to a lot of young brother about this I was just talking to my son about the same thing I just sent him this dog on video now cuz we just had to discuss him yesterday what she makes a good point vote your interest I said the same doggone thing to my son yesterday Thank you so much for having this guy on your show
It’s the shirt for me 🧡💙!
Salute to my fellow 100 brother 👍🏾✊🏾 #100blackmen
Great content, bring this Brother back!
I seen this brother at a political event near Atlanta in Cobb county
Over $200,000 in student loans?? Jeez, we need to better prepare our children for college by saving for it. Opening a college fund account would be a great baby shower gift. 🎁
You would gain more interest by buying mutual funds or stock.
Between tuition increases, other inflation, and stagnation in wages; I am not even sure if this is a cure for the student debt problem. I don’t think it’s a matter of financial planning, it’s a combination of multiple conflicting financial circumstances. For instance, if you want your kids to attend a good school district, you’ll pay extra in housing; if you want them to be involved in extracurricular activities, that will cost and the bill will continue to inflate; if you care about their health and diet, you’ll go in debt feeding a family of four. This is just the truth of today’s time; now imagine saving for a ballooning tuition bill while also saving for an illusive ideal of retirement…it’s daunting.
Note, I am a practicing attorney and my significant other also makes a fair living. Both are college educated and for the most part, we feel a completely different financial situation than an Attorney and Public Administrator would have 20 years ago. Also I’m financially conservative, so…..
🖤 AB4L. Love this Brother!
It doesn't matter how good or bad the messaging is , people are just too lazy or too distracted to pay attention to what's going on, and those are usually the people who are complaining
💯
Yep!!👍🏾
Blk ppl are not dumb! We know how our pockets was under trump compared to now.
THIS!
And probably isn’t registered to vote!!
Where are the black farmers? Who speaks for them?
Wes🔥🖤Glad he’s back up here.
OMG Charlemagne is absolutely horrible on this topic.
I’ve listen to him once and he’s totally lost along with his host
That is the point of inviting persons like Bellamy to educate rather whatever the subject no one knows everything
Bridge instead of distracting😎
@carmstr2 naah they need to have ppl with different opinions but the agenda is STILL to have blk ppl voting democrat....they will never have a real educated blk man who at the end isn't talking democrats
Blacks been voting and getting disappointed and what they tell yall to do? vote again.
For the Presidential vote, we need to get rid of the Electoral College. We need each person’s vote to count.
@@justmyopinion9883thats not a conspiracy either. They tokd us about electoral college back in school lol. They make the final say in the end yet nobody cares or talks about it. Very odd to me.
We need to vote in the midterm election that how president get the numbers they need to pass there agenda
@justmyopinion9883 that ain't happening so yall might as well off that discussion
@@truthbtold8697 I'm not going to get off of it. It's what needs to be done.
Let’s goooooo Wes 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
EVERYTHING he said!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yes. As a citizen living in a marginalized community in NYC I yet to see any progress. Yes, there's brand new buildings (Real estate) coming up but yet as residents we're being denied housing and programs from the City of New York our not meeting entry into these new builds. Also (Immigration) and the lack of consideration for the communities that deal with these issues. I'm stuck when it comes to these candidates and I we had more options...💯
This 2024 Presidential election is difficult. Neither Biden or Trump is fit to be POTUS. But, they make it so hard for 3rd party candidates.
As a 40 yr old black man .. I'll would see the country burn 🔥 before I vote without getting any tangible
Facts. I don’t give a damn either way
That's not how voting works. And if you want immediate results, you should groom a political candidate that represents your interests. Its pretty childish to think that voting makes change instance. You have to have someone with a dog in the race representing you.
You have to vote to see tangible change...especially locally...judges, attourney general, aldermen, governors, mayors, etc. And those congressman make a huge difference too. President can't do a lot without congress especially given congress is so divided.
This is an incredibly sad statement from a 40 year old black man. You have people within your family that I know was alive before Brown V Board and Jim Crow that can speak to the hard life of a black person during that time, let alone a black man. We’re not that far removed from “those” times. And let me make it clear, black man. You won’t see this country burn, you will instead see your house, people you love, your family, your community, etc burn before you see “this country” burn. I’m not sure when your generation became disillusioned in thinking you’re one of them. No black man, you and everyone that looks like you will burn and the United States will still stand, but as an all white nation. If that is what you want, then shame on you.
@@jarvisharvey6946 you will see your family, everything you own and everything you love burn before this country burn. Don’t be a fool in thinking you’re going to be left with some type of freedom if you watch the freedoms that you do have be stripped from you! You better wake up!
You know how hard it is for politicians to get in the streets.. yall are crazy. They got to clear blocks for that shit to happens
This is exactly why we have to be reminded to do your homework.
That's my family and he's really from the hood for those who are doubting him..
This man is full of it
Instead of having abortion why don't people just use condoms? your first concern should not be getting pregnant it should be catching an STD! not just asking, are you clean? Are you safe ? but condoms seem to be an inconvenience! if you use a condom more than likely, you're not going to get a girl pregnant! women always are always saying my body my choice, make better choices, and starts using a condom! this for the couples or ppl that don't like to use condoms! not for the unfortunate women!
Because the push is for women to have as much sex as they want, not be judged, and not have to deal with the consequences
The political process is not a 4 year national sprint but a local marathon.
How about "real men" do what they want. If I choose to vote or not, that's my right. Right?
Yea, but real men also do what is best for their families and the ones they love. But most men are selfish and only think of themselves
be “real” and not vote then, but also don’t complain since we being real 🤷🏾♂️
@@tacoeugene2911we don't have time to complain...you think all these other groups are sitting around complaining??? Asians. Indians, Africans?? Naah THEY ARE DOING
Many live in cities and states, but when voting see only the Presidential election... Many are affected on the local level. Not voting, only contributes to the intended plan of those who do not want others to succeed. Much like maintenance for anything, we can't just wait till election time to say what the process is not doing for me or anyone; or getting to know candidates, and what they stand for, or finding out what is trying to be snuck under the carpet and hidden away... Being informed and making a true difference is a continual process. By being involved and bringing others in, we can stop a lot of the stuff that seems to go against us.
Yes 🙌 let’s gooo Wes
I tuned out completely after he said "pause" after saying the word "hard" are we serious?
Embarrassing
Grown ass man with a doctorate too...
@@Aphrosyche- There isn’t anything embarrassing about it, he was simply just having fun. It was not that serious. One word should never detour us from having healthy conversation.
DJ Envy thanks for speaking with clarity.
Preach!!! My 28K was cleared after I had been paying for over ten years.
Dr. Bellamy said you can't shy away from the critical issues of today, but what seems to be a big part of the problem is, many on both sides, do not filter any of their opinions or positions on the issues.
We Cannot be afraid of our own ppl.
What is your governor doing with federal money?
If we don't start understanding the serious need to vote vigorously on the local level, where it all begins, then we will continue to get congressman and Senators voted to the white house, i.e. Marjorie Taylor Green etc. We have to stop these unfair judges, school board members, city councilman etc. At the local level so they don't reach the white house. These people are the ones that make policies, not the President! Charlemagne, you keep saying that black people shouldn't be required to vote either Democrat or republican, so in your opinion "Who or what should we be voting on" why haven't you suggested this on your show, better yet, get out there yourself and start what you think we should do!!! IJS
He’s lost and has the platform to reach black people🤦🏽♀️
Unfair in your eyes, fair in others’.
Have Obi Egbuna Jr on your show.
Wes I Enjoyed this interview. Thanks Breakfast Club for sharing and keeping it real.
Amazing interview Dr. Wes. We are super proud of the work you are doing!
This dude is not an Independent as he tried to suggest he is.
Why because he doesn't sound like you want him to. That Dr has no reason to lie, especially when you consider how transparent he was during the interview
Facts
@@stanleydrew8126 If one is truly independent you can see the fallacies in both sides. This was a one-sided conversation. All I hear are “Lift All Talking” points. Nothing SPECIFIC to the people who are supposed to be the “backbone” of the Democratic Party which was I told are Black American people. Once again he said he was an Independent. I didn’t say that for him.
@@RichardSmith-xl3hp the point you missed is because of the actions and messaging of both candidates, his choice is clear for this race.
How does an independent talk?
What is DWB talking about? Under Trump black unemployment hit its lowest level ever before it did under Biden. Trump also signed the First Step Act, a criminal justice reform bill in 2018.
As a college professor, he sounds crazy to make those statements! Then, he says he was at the White House last night and also owes $208K in student loans. Now, he's hear pumping Biden but saying vote for your interest! Is he paid for or got some loan $$?
Black unemployment is at the lowest now in history what are u talking about misinformation
@@tresa38 It’s not misinformation. Under Trump black unemployment hit its lowest level ever in 2019. It’s a fact that you can look up. So the question is why didn’t MLH and DWB mention that? The reason they didn’t is because it would hi-light a positive for the black community when Trump was president. DWB and MLH are pumping out the propaganda to get Biden re-elected which makes them no different from the people they criticize. Plain and simple.
@@tresa38reread the comment, you clearly misread it.
This was a very good interview and more people need to listen to this brother speak.
8:29 you paid $208,000, to get on the breakfest club 🤯🤯
Vote 3rd party
Fine fine
Shalom, WAKE THAT MIND UP! Breakfast Club, thanks for sharing your views, Dr. Wes Bellamy is spot on, we must vote our interest and not whether we like the person or not. We must educate ourselves on the policies, be involved in local and State elections and not just the Presidential Election. Dr. Wes Bellamy, thank you. Excuse my French, Donald Trump is not going to put money in our pockets!
"im an independent, I'm not endorsing any side"......... Immediately starts capeing for the Democrats and hating on Trump 😂😂😂😂
Facts……………….,
thats a trick meant to trick dumb ppl into thinking what their saying is unbias n factual.
Because he understands that democracy is collapsing. He’s an independent and being smart.
@Love-dv6ml Gun bans are anti democracy. Safer Government is a bolder Government.
The foolish black Biden supporters are either ignorant or they’re informed and acting on emotion and not logical. It’s just this simple:
When Trump the in office the country was in better shape on all fronts. This democracy is at stake is a CNN and MSNBC talking point. You notice they all sound the same but they can’t really explain how our democracy is at stake just repeating what they hear 😆.
Not a Trump fan but facts are facts and Biden and his administration definitely ain’t the play.
If our democracy is at stake is because of Trump:
Lower interest rate
Cheaper gas
Cheaper food
Closed borders
Etc…
Well let it be at stake then because that’s what we had under Trump last term.
We got to stop this narrative that we must check ✔️ all the boxes!!!! Our culture doesn't have to repeat toxic history. Its cool to be educated and great!!! A great discussion by all these Kings.
S/o to VSU
They say democrats don’t have a message and people don’t know. Then when somebody tell you then it’s you caping for Biden. Just say you don’t want THAT info.
Realtor I love what he's saying we need to vote for somebody just like you said somebody tell you straight up to your face I don't like you and you got a lesser too evil I rather vote for the person that is possibly going to do more for me than a person that I already told you in your face I ain't going to do Jack nothing for you and it's like a person that smile on your face a backstabber that's that's the other guy
Voting for Trump💪🏾💪🏾
“ Quote unquote “
Great conversation. Sadly, we talk and think too small on how to raise Black well-being, which always leads to all having well-being. To make that happen, it will take a mind-shift, a cultural-shift to restruct the governance of society 1) no more corporate lobbying, aka, bribery, 2) use anti-trust to break up the big banks, big pharma, big food monopolies, 3) cut military budget by no less than 35%, then take those $100s of millions/year, and the new businesses and new jobs created from breaking up monopolies and then structure low, no cost education pipelines to fill the employment and business demand. Simultaneously, the government launches a nationwide home building and infrastructure program that models the G-I bill that established generation wealth for whites after WWII. We have the money and resources. We don't have the will to make it happen.
Politics can't do any more for a person, than they are willing to do for themselves. Both parties have had their turn to govern and neither one has lowered the percentage of Black people living at or below the poverty line. Government and even the privilege of race, can only do so much for a person. Even some born into privilege squander the advantages, they are born with. This is where true social community/social activists are needed. The social institutions - schools especially, must be allowed to perform their functions. I don't recall whether culture was discussed in this video, but culture is at the heart of the problems we face in our communities, and with us as a group. The anti-social aspects of the culture, in many of our communities, is counter-productive for the healthy emotional, spiritual, and mental development of us. Many of the younger generations constantly speak of "The Culture". Many of us, of the boomer generation have no idea what this speaks to. What have been the fruits of this new culture?
In celebrating its 50th anniversary last year, Hip-Hop said it "changed the world". How could it do that, but not change the communities it came out of? This is a question that is produced out of honesty and critical thinking, both of which seems a lost art among us, for many decades now. Politics as I see it, seem just a fad, among younger generations. How can anyone put so much hope in it, given the amount of people we have elected in the last half century? It helps somewhat. It keeps us to some degree, from losing the gains we have achieved over the decades, but it surely is not a game changer for us.
The late Harold Cruse in his book 'The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual' posited that ethnic group social advancement ,follows a formula of cultural unity fostering economic development, which in turn, is used to gain politic influence and power. We have put politics first, and cultural unity is none existent, and we fracture even further every decade, at least.
KRS-One has said Hip-Hop should be an ethnicity within itself. There does not even exist a governance structure in Hip- Hop, to facilitate a debate within Hip-Hop, not even on an issue as fundamental as this statement. The logical question it raises is, is there anything real about Hip-Hop? Is it all just performative Blackness? Are the politicians we have been electing lately, more concerned about putting on a performance in government, knowing much of it is now recorded?
Again these are questions that arise out of honesty and the application of logic and critical thinking. We hear and see the chaos, disruption, violence, and lack of learning in so many of our schools, yet no degree of alarm has been shown concerning it. If we can't all see this as a crucial problem, that must be rectified quickly, what are we really about, where are our true interest and concerns? Are they masked behind politics? Why has there been no acknowledgement, that any response from us, to what most who are speaking, say is a structured and systemic force, must also be of that nature, or at the least highly coordinated?
If we are not first acknowledging this and moving collectively to bring it about, what are we trying to do? How can we think, it will produce any more than what, we have already gained?
Dr. Wes Bellmany is one of the best guests on politics this year!!! I’ll even say this conversation was more impactful than Crockett even thought she blew it out of the water.
I hope folks, especially black folks, really black men take heed to these educated people and stop being gullible to basic level gaslighting that Trump & co. dish out.
We are literally the laughing stock of the world due to our lack of political awareness!
Exactly, because do black people really know what our ancestors went through in order for us to be able to vote
@@angelajones7195 - It be the most basic stuff on politics that sadly some of us can’t or won’t comprehend and it ends up hurting us in the long run.
I am so glad I had the know with all to expand my knowledge on politics and finances. I just more black people would do the same!
It's not always a charlamagne it's not always
The quest said - "education shouldn't cost that much', and that is true, but education is free, and so what have many of us done with that opportunity?
Y’all have to be careful about these convos. There is a lot of misinformation spoken in this interview. I hope ppl do their own research and not go off on platforms like this.
He needs to school a lot of these Brothers on TH-cam on voting.
What percentage of Black families benefited from student debt relief?
Googles your friend, bruh - Jay Z
@@DS-ue6ih hopefully Black voters will use google and stop looking at this as a win ~Me👍🏾
Every Black family with a former college student who used student loans to pay for their education. I have many friends and family members who received the forgiveness.
Nothing this brother said helps black Americans specifically, it helps ALL AMERICANS!!
Student loan debt and affordable housing is for everybody! Reparations and anti black hate crime bill……. Now that’s something specifically for us!!!
Ronald Regan was the first one I saw.
There’s nothing that can stop the agenda. Its already underway before you needing to vote. Its like your annual review. You write whatever you want about yourself. They already know the rating they wanna give you prior to you rating yourself
“I DONT LIKE WHIT PEOPLE SO I HATE WHITE SNOW!!!! FML!!!!” - Dr. Wes Bellamy (2009)
💪🏾💪🏾
He is right the squeaky wheel gets the geease. We need to show up not just when it is election time hust like the elected officials should.
I agree with this brother. We should vote our interest and we shouldn't be one issue voters. We should be looking at bills that the House and Senate vote on. The fact of the matter is the Democratic party tends to vote on bills that are sympathetic to issues in the black community such as the George Floyd bill and the John Lewis bill. The Republican party has shown consistently that their policies and ideology is anti black. No party is going to give you everything you want. And most importantly about the presidential election, we need to look at the Supreme court and federal judges. The judges appointment by Donald J could care less about black people. It ain't rocket science. We don't have the luxury of white people who are going to ok regardless of who is elected.
Look, I don't have student loans, but I have credit card debt due to the pandemic years. This is a major issue in America and the current administration isn't speaking about it. That late fee cap isn't it BTW
We can use a different word for racist?
Run for school boards, city council, police department,fire etc...
Gun violence in Charlottesville is absolutely crazy. Let’s take a sec and focus on that
I can’t even keep up with the number of shooting last week alone. Its horrible and so sad.
@@Shell593 Let’s stop killing eachother first and then focus on getting people to vote…..quote on quote. This whole interview is so backwards
Yo ive known this brother since he was a kid Atlantic Beach,SC Stand Up
Talk brother
Panderers, not conquerors. Excusing one side without holding them both accountable.
THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE .
I tell black people all the time that if voting doesn't matter, they would let us vote by cell phone many times as you want like the pro bowl
