Trump has said many times his favorite president is the man who signed the Indian Removal Act (Trail of Tears) Andrew Jackson. I grew up in the Osage Nation and I completely agree with your statement
Those animals have been doing this from the moment they migrated here from Europe & stole the land from the Indians & still to this day.Nothing has changed.
This story, from start to now needs to be shouted from the rooftops. What a wonderful commercial this story would be against tRUMP and the MAGA GOP. Truth of these young mens story can not be ignored. Karma…would be a blessing for all of American.
What Trump did then.. and never apologized for.. showed exactly who he is as a human being. How anyone could support this kind of man.. let alone make him president.. is beyond me! Edit: typo
What an intelligent and well spoken man. He and the other 4 was absolutely abused and used. My Heart & Soul hurt for the abuse they received. So Tragic!! I wish each of them Success. ..
@@higgsboson1028 Last week my mother and I spent the day with my grandniece. She’s 9 yrs old and her grammar and use of larger words puts Trump to shame. She sounds FAR more intelligent than he does. Seriously! I actually thought about that as she was speaking!
It is remarkable how this man has risen up from the ashes of systemic hatred that has been a raging fire swallowing up those on the margins in America for centuries. I have so much respect for anyone who could persevere through such torment and emerge a far better man than the most prominent of his tormentors who in one person encapsulates all that is bad about America more than anyone ever has.
Thank you for posting this. I lived there at the time. It was tragic. Those ads did irreparable harm and destroyed the lives of these teenaged boys and divided the city. Yusuf Salaam has become such an impressive man despite what they did to him. This kind of tragedy happens far too much and is fueled by hate and fear. Not everyone is able to rise above it. This has to stop.
I also remember this hideous incident. Unfortunately, these things are common in the USA. There are and have been many innocent people serving life sentences because of who they are. Mainstream America refuses to believe it. Yet they wave their flags and call themselves Patriots and get angry when athletes refuse to pledge allegiance to the flag. It’s not the allegiance to a flag that many people are offended by. It’s the abject hypocrisy of it all. It is completely antithetical to what America is suppose to stand for. I remember crying for these boys. Many witnesses for them weren’t even called. Trump is about the pay his debt in full. But since he is morally and spiritually bankrupt, Karma will collect his debt. In full.
A beautiful story. Five young boys in prison for a crime they didn’t commit.Yusef Salaam a distinguished man without no hate. a professional teacher and a motivational speaker. Our best wishes to you and the rest of the Central Park Five.
It’s awful how they were coerced into confessing. People believed the boys were guilty because they confessed. I remember it well. It’s a tragic story but wow, what a triumphant sequel! I’m so happy for this man! Mr. Salaam is a 100% better person than creepy, crooked Trump. He’s a helluva lot smarter too! And I’ll bet he wins his race! ✌🏼
It is not a beautiful story. It is a horrendous story. A beautiful story would be one where five young men grew up, went to college, were never victimized by a white supremacist legal system, had families of their own, and passed on their good values to their children. I cannot see how imprisoning children for a crime they did not commit can be beautiful, even if they're exonerated years later. Yusef Salaam could have done all of those good things without going be wrongly imprisoned. He might have done even better. There seems to be a presumption that people are going to turn out badly unless they face injustice. Please remember what happened to Kalief Browder and many other wrongfully imprisoned young people.
Yusef is a true example of courage and growth. He could have become bitter and resentful, but instead,has turned the other cheek and come out the other side a good man. Kudos to him!
turned the other cheek and got millions in a settlement from a mayor running for re-election? mayor sold out the victims in the crimes these guys committed that night
What an incredible gentleman with such grace after going through what he did. I wish nothing but the best for him and a long and healthy life. My heart hurts for him and his frinends. DT has no shame for anything he has ever done as he has said himself... He's never needed to ask for forgiveness, which is what he said when acting like he has read 5 words in the Bible. Godspeed to this man!
That’s a great interview! I’m so proud, of what these 5 innocent young men, have accomplished, in the years since their exoneration! They deserved to be praised, especially Yusef, for not holding any animosity, only stating that, Karma is a great thing!! Some people don’t think about, what their lives will turn out to be. And little do they know, that they reap what they sow!! And that’s exactly what Trump is getting!!
What a dignified man. He survived gruelling times and did not become revengeful and bitter. This type of person should be a President of the US. May he live a long and prosperous life. ❤
Donald Trump will get pay back like he has never seen before, because Donald what goes around comes around, and don't you ever forget this as long as you live.
E. Jean Carroll deserves justice! Trump himself described in his M.O in his Access Hollywood audio + he did similar surprise "moves"* / attacks on Stormy Daniels & a Journalist visiting Mar-A-Largo, after tricking women to move to a SECOND LOCATION!!?? *Q: What did, "I moved on her like a bit$ch!", really mean???
This man is amazing in so many ways I love to hear him speak he is very educated . I admire the strength and the courage he has and after all this man and his friends endured at the hands of our justice system or I should say at the hands of our injustice system he didn't let it destroy him with hatred and bitterness . I know he will do great things in his life ! And Karma will handle the rest !
Innocent. Exonerated. Better humans than most. Probably better than you. Certainly better than me. Cause I can only wish the absolute worst for Donnie Johnny.
Even after they were exonerated, he claimed that there must be some truth to their guilt and should still be executed. What a trash of a man! Karma is truly at work.
The contrast couldn't be more stark or different in 3 black men Tim Scott, Clarence Thomas who sold theirs soul yrs ago !! Yusef Salaam whose soul wasn't an isn't for sale and his integrity can't be ever questioned !! Yusef Salaam is a great example of a great code to live by which is the values of morals, ethics , leadership, manhood, masculinity !!
There once was a damning ad Paid for by a man very glad To bask in a life so bright Until being pulled from his lofty height By voters convinced they’d been had.
😎 So eloquent in a manner his voice is akin to a gentle breeze of sea shores, yet with traces of pain, grit, and triumph against bigotry. Powerful and too obvious, he is an intellect. 🖤
👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 Alex…stories like this 1 & u going down 2 FL to interview HS & College kids is how I got over 🤔 whooo 😂. Just kidding, my heart has enough room 4 u & Rachel. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, I’m over flowing!!
I so agree with the many comments, this man is so eloquent and so well educated. Such a contrast to the monster we had the unfortunate experience of having had him as president. Trump is devoid of any sense of justice or any kind of decency. Karma is slow in coming but come it surely does.
I am stunned by how eloquent and composed this man is. This is the kind of leadership our country, no humanity desperately needs. I have so much respect for him. Listening to him put me in check as I walk out the door grateful for my life and his voice.
There are a lot of conservatives who won't talk about this case. Some even claim a sort of amnesia about it; as if it wasn't assiduously promoted by them for years and years. "Wilding" became a buzzword for what they called "black animals," and they enjoyed pointing to that case as the shining example of who society should be fearful of. But, dead silence once the truth emerged. Men and women of character could step up and say "I was wrong in the judgement I made, and wrong in shouting down those who said there was something very foul about the how the system handled those boys." _Wanted:_ Men and women of character.
Just like 45….. he wants everyone to look pass and forget all the crap that he’s been accused of but everyone else needs to pay for the crimes they are accused of committing.
You’re a decent human being with class. And with all the terrible things that happen to us as a people, know that biblically this country is on a path to end in a righteous way paying eternally for all its sins 🤭
How many more black men were imprisoned wrongfully by the NYPD? How many more black men are serving time in prison although they never committed the crime?
He’s a much better person than I think I would be… I’d be wishing/praying donald received the same treatment…..Imprisonment Anyone who remembers their case remembers the vitriol they faced…. It was disgusting 🤬🤬🤬
The Media, DA, police dept, CP5 defense lawyers, black community & some of their family failed them n that moment. There was ample evidence that these kids weren't guilty. Even the story cops conjured up did not make any sense. And usually when it don't make sense it's a LIE. If Yusef was mad & bitter he has a right 2 b. He better than me, any1 who doubted me then, ain't no forgiveness. They wld hear it everytime they're around me. Good luck to the CP5, hope they live n peace the rest of their lives.
I really can’t get over the fact that the Trump signature has FAR more ups-and-downs in the last name than actual letters. Does he not know how to spell his own name???
As a former New Yorker I too, even as a black man. I drank the kool aide and thought you were guilty, just like every one else did. It makes me feel so good that you have survived this nightmare AND risen even higher than every accuser. Your intelligence and grace speaks volumes. God is showing you the way now. Following The Almighty will, guide you wherever your path may lead. THANK YOU for being so honorable, sensitive yet strong and most importantly, steadfast. Bless you, my brother!
I find it pretty arrogant of you to presume to know Gods plan tbh. Also, not everyone thought them guilty, only the ones lacking critical thinking skills, such as yourself. Serious "god is showing the way" haha 😂😂😂, weirdo
Which makes this man a thousand times better than Donald Trump.
TDS is real
And a thousand times better than me!
This is an amazing man and I wish him nothing but the best. Nice job Alex. Love your work. ... J

they actually used and abused the joggers and bike riders in the park that night
I really love it when a person is so strong in what he has learned from corruption and still stands tall!!
💯 they know once you give in to hate you've already lost and surrendered your power.
Resilience is innate to the African.
A true American hero
Given his grasp of history and eloquence, this man despite being jailed has read more than Trump.
If he read just one word. He would have read more than tRUMP.
45 doesn't read🤣
If the copy of Mein Kampf that Trump owns is in German Trump would be none the wiser as I doubt he has ever looked beyond the cover.
My dog has read more than Donald "MyA$$GotArrested" Trump.

“The world needs more hate.” -DJT
The ONLY thing Trump has *not* failed at, is bringing much more hate into the world.
Ex-ACT-Ly.
Wow
It’s like don’t become the monster that went after you … that’s not easy
Very well said...
I love that! A powerful statement and definitely a keeper! 👍🏽💕
Lisa maree Accary Hard not to do because all black men could of tuned into monsters after Emmet Till's murder !!
*OMG!!! Yusef Salaam is a fantastic human being!* I am inspired by this man...
Yusef Salaam was also convicted by a jury of robbing and assaulting two male joggers in Central Park.

Well Said!!!
Well spoken, Thank You.
Agreed... and it looks like a prison bed has opened up just in the nick of time!
I agree. Make no mistake though, he's still dealing with racism and hate.
it is amazing a person who committed crimes and brutally attacked people, still manages to come out of it as a millionaire
And that's why the exonerated 5 own the higher moral ground. Their power is they know when you give in to hate you've already lost and surrendered.
I surrender then cause I'm not forgiving hateful azz white folks period
Well put! 👍👍👍
It was 6 of them

It takes a real man to stand up against a powerful enemy that wants to destroy him and show compassion.
I hope sooner or later, DJT will end up at Rikers Island jail.
This is the first time I watched Alex Wagner’s show. I’ll be subscribing.

Maybe the death penalty might be useful when the Defendant trump loses against Ms.Carroll.

Privilege is invisible to those who have it.

Trump would have hung the kid if he could have, interesting contrast now.

Lock Trump up!!!

Getting closer, but what did the USA do to deserve Trumpf?
So much respect for you, Yusef Salaam! ♥️✌️
Holy crap. Trump had a ferret on his head 40 years ago.
Back then a cartoon penguin, and the rest of us, knew he was a fool.
Look at this criminal pretending to be a victim
May God continue to bless the Exonerated 5🙏🏾
No One Is Saying, That One Of The Boys Father Called The Police On His On Son, Believing That His Son Did Do It.. Even The Police Lied..
Beautifully said
At this point everytime Trumps says its wrong for someone to do something, he has already done it.
How many more black men were imprisoned wrongfully by the NYPD? How many more black men are serving time in prison although they never committed the crime?
He’s a much better person than I think I would be… I’d be wishing/praying donald received the same treatment…..Imprisonment

Why can’t Trump apologize?! His actions and words were extremely dangerous.
