I studied to kill a mocking bird in school 25 years ago. All it takes is one good person to stand up for truth and justice. "make sure you choose wisely" Jeff Daniels
So where are you at while our country is flushed down a toilet of corruption, real TYRANNY and ACTUAL FASCISM. FASCISM = the marriage of the corporations and the state. When the #RESIST or #TRUMPBAD crowd has corporate sponsorship and the uniparty (the establishment politicians on Dem and Republican Party) hang out together.... You're not the resistance. You're THE TYRANNY. WAKE UP STUPID!
That book is propaganda. Not many criminals are innocent.
Another Hollywood liberal that put us in this mess......who watches these late night shit shows..
Funny how all your cultural references are fiction
He’s a hack that’s trying to look cool for the kids, aNd If you’re still referencing books you read 25 years ago chances are you should read more
"the Chinese guy is Korean, you dip💩" and don't forget now he's an American too. Bravo Jeff Daniels 👏👏👏👏
Bravo for this comment 👏
Who is the other actor in the clip ?
How brave of him playing into the race card and their agenda for “a new America” he can go f himself
Yes, bravo. He read a script, about a fictional person in a fictional story.
Trump tweeted to search and watch "Europa - The last Battle". Twitter took the tweet down. But I found it.
I never really paid attention to Jeff Daniels until I saw that newsroom speech. Then I went back and watched a movie I never watched before dumb and dumber and started paying attention to Jeff. Now I can’t get enough of listening to how smart and what a good guy he is. When I first heard he was opening to kill a mockingbird again I didn’t know why, now I do, trying to help all those workers who are out of work because of that pandemic. We need more people like him for sure.
Ask Jeff Daniels about OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD and then tell me how smart he is. You children are so easily fooled by people on TV. They're not important. They're bought off. The corruption in our society has invaded every knook and cranny.
@@mattd4327 I disagree with you about Jeff Daniels.
@@wfvesely Jeff Daniels lives in Chelsea Michigan. A small down with a little over 5,000 people living in it. 96%+ of the people living there are white. .04% of the people that live there are black. That's 20 black people. Jeff Daniels lives in a lilly white town with only 20 black people living in it. Not 20%. Literally 20 black people live in the town Jeff Daniels lives in. Mybe Jeff boy and you should go hand out in Chicago and then get back with how that turned out for you .
@@parabot2 Once again I just agree.
@@parabot2 Spot on bro. I live in north Texas. In the city of Dallas. The southeast section is called oak cliff. AND if you're not black walking through that area. You might end up missing or at least be a victim of robbery and/or murder. Been like that for decades.
My Daughter, Grandson and I were in the audience of TKAM back in Aug. 2019. One of the best nights of my life. Everyone in it was Great ! I also got to see Jeff many years ago with my late husband at our local theater. We loved his singing and humor. I have an autographed CD. LOVE---Blue Valiant !! We live about 1/2 hr from Jeff, so we have always been very interested in him. Such a talented man...... We also got to see a Stephen Colbert taping !!! What great memories !!!
Jeff Daniels knows reality and is a class act #BLM
china funds #blm
BLM was the worship of criminals on the back of working people that suffer under their crimes
Good job promoting a terrorist organization.
@@hardowider5054 Good job showing your ignorance and victimhood
@@brisingr12 Right, and the Earth is Flat! DUH! Bless your Heart🙄❗
this is what people are talking about when they say educate yourself on racial issues, well done Jeff Daniels.
Is he well done though?
hear hear, its not about division its about unity!!
lol a rich old white man
let him give all his money
us poor white have nothing to give and we don't want systemic racism working ageist us like it does
@@joejacko1587 he grew up working class, blue collar as he said in his interview, and it’s not about giving money but awareness and education.

Based
I knew I liked Jeff Daniels in Newsroom. I still throw that opening scene at people who need to see it. So it seems that even while in character, he is true to his real character.
I've seen that clip being used by T. supporters to, i think, make a case how bad the US has become under not Trump? It was really sad, they don't understand anything.
The U. S. A. being the so-called number one scene? He completely destroyed that idea.
It's actually really interesting (to me at least), Sorkin, the writer of the show, hated how that scene was received. He didn't mean it as a "wake up America, and look how bad it is" he was writing from the position of a guy having a breakdown (Daniel's character). I'm glad it worked as both, but its interesting to me how Sorkin eventually did not like the scene. I know it's what sold me on the show.
The one where he breaks it to US Americans that they’re not exactly the “greatest” country? 🤣 yeah that was good.
**JEFF DANIELS IS ONE OF THE BEST,,, SMARTEST AND CLASSY HUMAN BEINGS ON THE PLANET..**
culture always changes before the politics. Politicians, of BOTH parties, are followers, not leaders.
This dude is an incredible actor. Range and depth. What a talent!
Never truer statement, followers not leaders. The pandemic has proven that. The governments around the world are all followers of each other.
Lets not "both sides" Republicans and Democrats until fascism is back under a rock. Not helpful.
@@aineomalley6431 Trump and those who followed him killed LOTS MORE.
they are representatives: they are not supposed to be "leaders", they are supposed to reflect the politics of their voters.
That’s just not true.
"Get educated." Exactly. That would lead to a New America. History provides all the lessons we need in order to make a socio-political judgment; to take personal accountability - AND to achieve empathy, which is the hardest thing for any human being to learn. The community cannot survive without the individual, and the individual can't survive without the community.
The naiveté. All lessons? Hardly. Thats one class. And ill be just fine without any of you 😂
👏👏
@@mikeximenez5285 Soooooooo - history doesn't have lessons? You can't learn from past events? The earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth, right? Which class did YOU finish in?
Well said. Ignore all trolls here.
@@mikeximenez5285 there is a place called The Public Library. ...I totally recommend you to go.
Jeff Daniels, a very intelligent man, and a class act!!!
Jeff Daniel I love his ability to say things in real time and feeling good for you
It especially annoys me when racists are accused of 'discrimination.' The ability to discriminate is a precious facility; by judging all members of one 'race' to be the same, the racist precisely shows himself incapable of discrimination. [Christopher Hitchens, "Letters to a Young Contrarian"]
What?
@@miguelmarrero3383 perfectly clear language. What part do you not understand?
Correct statement but I fear too confusing for many to grasp. I wouldn’t get annoyed with it though, people have just learned to use the word discrimination too loosely.
The firing of the deputy was an awesome scene! And very close to reality! I've known guys that blame minorities for everything and yet they're just slackers! Trying to divert responsibility! Love that scene! Speaks volumes!
Gives me chills! Amazing performance with a real message!
Hey Jeff! Why did you move to Chelsea, MI with a demographic of %94.7 white and %0.4 Black? You live in a town with 20 black people.. I’ve lived in a apartment building with more
😂 exactly…….Anthony cumia fan are ya?
I've lived in 4 places in my 44 years & have never not had black neighbors. You learn things that you're not supposed to know & are supposed to ignore when you've seen what I've seen.
He's expressing an opinion. Not identifying with any specific town or community. Weird accusation.
It’s his hometown. He started a theater there ( The Purple Rose, I believe is its name).
Love Jeff Daniels.
Daniel's is what an American sounds like.
he's the exception, not the rule. Hate to tell ya
Definitely not all americans
That's generous.
@@Trigger200284 - You are absolutely right. When I realized he wasn't going to ruin Atticus Finch I knew it would be all right for me to let him into my consciousness.
You mean what an American SHOULD sound like.
Because of people like Stephen and Jeff, I have hope in a time of great trouble. Identity politics are the challenge that may overwhelm all of our progress. Knowledge is power folks!
And here we have two great examples of identity politics.
These two would shoot you in the street if it made people like them more. They wouldn’t say this if it would hurt their career or public image. Don’t let them fool you, it’s all optics. Sadly.
Sadly, things will get worse before they get better.. but I do think they will get better.. eventually.
It’s like needing to tear down a dilapidated house before you can rebuild a solid, functional structure.
Better in what way?
I think personally this is the beginning of the end. You can go on about social victories, eliminating racism, propping up the poor into a better quality of life etc., but there's a storm coming that ain't looking good for humanity as a whole.
We are on the verge of a complete breakdown in climate, we are beginning to separate from global political unions while places like Russia and China plant seeds of doubt and influence the morons of our cultures to sabotage us from the inside out.
Every voice is countered with a louder more idiotic one with no rational thought, our kids can't read an analog clock or do anything without asking google ahead of time, our food security is crumbing under the weight of a population explosion that started 70 years ago along with weather that destroys entire crops. Commercial fishing is less than 2 decades from a complete collapse because there's no biomass left from decades of exploitation. We're about to fight wars over water and food, it's no longer fuel that's the issue.
We rely on billionaires that have exploited millions of people, the environment and our way of thinking to be our social crusaders and vessels of change. Do you really think it's a good idea to let rich people lead our communities and countries the way they see fit? Why wouldn't our governments be doing this for the people by the people? I personally think it's too much power to let Gates or Musk and the likes to be making these decisions for us.
We are in a mess and winning racism debates and feeding the poor soup is not the real issue here, so I think it's going to keep getting worse exponentially from my point of view.
I'm unsure. I've been so amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to countenance bold-faced idiocy and cruelty. Then I wonder if what I'm seeing isn't the old power structure getting desperate as it realizes its days are numbered.
@@sannalo11 lol a rich old white man
let him give all his money
us poor white have nothing to give and we don't want systemic racism working ageist us like it does
@@joejacko1587 HI Joe Jacko. In no way did I say that the solution to todays' ills, including racism, is to tax any poor people, regardless of race. I didn't define the power structure. I also believe you may be insinuating that my comment inferred that poor whites are racist, which I didn't and don't believe - unless each as individuals proves otherwise. What do you mean by "systematic racism working against us like it does?" Thank you.
The Newsroom is a show that should have been airing the last 3 years. Such a great show. Daniels and Sorkin shine!
I just started watching it again , I was thinking the same thing. The newsroom would have been amazing the last few years
@@beansonawaterslide3198 fully agree. Maybe it comes back with new episodes? My wish….
Watch Europa the Last Battle. It's a great film!
Every time I see Jeff Daniels, I'm blown away by his intelligence and his ability to use it! We need more of him!!
I never realized just how supreme I am until the media and black people convinced me I was. Lol
Proud to have him representing Michigan, not Ted Nugent...
💙 from Detroit
Yea , he's alot better rep. for Michigan , for sure.
From Lansing 😎☝️
"Get educated"? When you're rich and you have the luxury of time it isn't a problem. If you're working two jobs to make ends meet it's a different story.
If you have time to watch TH-cam, you have time to read a book from the Library 10 minutes a day, or get an audiobook from the library and listen on your way to and from work.
@@mercury_rising I'm not writing about myself.
It’s not “get educated”, it’s “get indoctrinated by an anti-white, anti-American agenda”
@@mercury_rising What is your Instagram?
“The Chinese guy is Korean 😀”. I love Jeff Daniels, especially in Newsroom. And he’s also pretty good here. He is such a great actor. Does anyone remember he was in Dumb and Dumber after his outstanding roles in all these drama series?
I know David. I am trying to point out that he has such range this guy…
Being that good at playing a stupid idiot requires a huge amount of acting intelligence. The more you think “that guy must really be dumb” the more it shows what a great actor Daniels is.
Maria, haters are going to hate. No matter how sensible and true your comments, some ignorant troll is going to make a stupid personal attack. Just ignore those.
Good point that, again in Dumb and dumber 2.
@Secretary of energy which race of people do you think he is scolding?
"is there good in everyone?" Not only that but do we really have the time and energy to look and wait for it? I wish I could say yes, unreservedly.
Don't "look and wait for it". Inculcate it.
I loved watching him in The Martian and Paper man, and man that American Rust clip was amazing.
This new series is amazing.
He and Maura are a 10 out of 10
I am so jonesing for the next episode of American Rust
Living here in rural PA, I really appreciate how poor we are
He dismissed the automatic audience “woo” reaction and then made everyone think. I have huge respect for this man’s mind.
Yea unfortunately Jeff Daniels is a hard core liberal he seriously needs to stop
@@kaylakain6039 Stop what??? Is what he's advocating for as a liberal wrong? Be more specific? Racism is evil so are you saying he is so liberal because he's against racism and telling the truth? I mean give us some context. 🥸
This is Christina husband Anthony ( I'm no angel) no better than anyone, ( its not a skin problem) , ( it's a sin problem) regardless of race we as humans are sinners , with evil hearts that lie, steal , cheat , think lustful thoughts, hold hatred in our heart which is the attitude of murder in need of a Savior who alone is Jesus Christ who died for our sins and salvation) To have a building gotta have a builder , and creation proves we have a creator God above) Romans 5 vs 8 God demonstrated his (love) towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us). God doesn't look at race , gender are nationality ( he doesn't care about those things ) he sees all people in only two catagories ( those that are his saved ,washed in Christ blood and he's there Savior ( and those that ain't his who rejected Jesus that's it) God is not the author of confusion making many ways ( Hes a specific God and make one way for all ( what can wash away my sins nothing but the blood of Jesus). According to John 14 vs 6 Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father above heaven and salvation ( noone else) this is because only Jesus Christ God's only Son and Savior sent from above who always existed in heaven in spiritual form, way before he was born on Earth in human flesh ( because he's God part of the trinty Father , Son and Holy spirit, Jesus alone went to Calvarys cross and shead his blood for our sins and salvation). John 3 vs 16 For God so loved the world that he gave ( u give are gave it's a free gift) his only begotten Son ( Jesus Christ at calvarys cross long ago for our sins and salvation) that Whosoever believeth in him ( not just agree in head what Jesus did , but anyone that truly from( deep within) ( by faith freely) (accept) Jesus Christ as a gift and his complete payment at Calvarys cross long ago for our sins and salvation and whatever we need) shall not perish but have everlasting life ( Jesus rising from the dead on the third day, was the Father above stamp of approval, that his payment at Calvarys cross long ago for our sins , salvation,and what we need was accepted, because it was a complete and perfect payment at Calvarys cross long ago, from a complete and perfect Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ ( it is finished meaning complete and totally done Jesus cried out on calvarys cross long ago in john19vs30 ( Romans 3 vs 23 all have sinned ,we all broke God's commandments lying,stealing , using his name in vain , thinking lustful thoughts etc) and no good deed we do can change (we guilty sinners worthy of hell) just like in court if we guilty no good deed changes that). Our soul and spirit once we die leaves our body and either goes to (heaven are hell). God in his (love) only made one way to be saved and changed, only one way to be made totally pure in his sight, and only one way to enter heaven instead of hell( through heart faith and acceptance of Jesus Christ and what he did at Calvarys cross long ago alone). We must be willing to leave our darkness our sinful ways and come to the light ( understanding God has nothing for sale ). Everything from God from A thru Z) comes only by faith for free, through the cross, where Christ died long ago for you and me) rather it's salvation, forgiveness, healing, diilverance over sinful things etc) Romans 6 vs 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God, a gift is freely received, is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord ( through Jesus Christ and what he did at Calvarys cross long ago alone for our sins and salvation). Salvation is simple) Romans 10 vs 13 says Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved ( We just humbly call on God in prayer (from the heart by faith in humble repentance) realizing we guilty sinners that lie and think lustful thoughts worthy of hell, really wanting to be saved and changed) Admitting God I'm a guilty sinner that lies and thinks lustfuls thoughts worthy of hell, please save my soul, through what your only Son Jesus Christ did at Calvarys cross long ago for my sins and salvation, I need the risen king as Savior and Lord) (than instantly) if we truly reaching out by faith from the heart to Jesus Christ and what he did at Calvarys cross long ago alone in humble repentance) we saved , forgiven, made totally pure by Christ blood, given by God's spirit a change of heart, granted heaven instead of hell, and because of our heart faith and acceptance of Jesus Christ and what he did at Calvarys cross long ago alone, we than become dead to the old person we use to be ruled by the sin nature that nature to sin in us, and we than become a new person on the inside, alive unto God spiritually speaking, risen with Christ, as a new creature in Christ 2nd corthians5vs17 ( and we get this and keep it the same way) not through deeds ( but through our heart faith and acceptance of Jesus Christ and what he did at Calvarys cross long ago alone ( on utube watch sbn live) people make fun of Christian's and hate them that just the way it is)
@@christinaalvey5053 didn’t read your tome. But how do you feel that Jesus was a brown middle-eastern man that had a liberal ideology?
@@Stiffdistantandweird yes Jesus was brown but , he also was God manifest in the flesh, part of the trinty, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy spirit, one God manifest in three persons together they are one). Like cutting a pie in different pieces but together as a whole is still one pie ( and Jesus didn't support wrong doing though he loved everyone and died for our sins to save our soul and change our heart Romans 5 vs 8 God demonstrated his love towards us in that while we were yet Sinners Christ died for us) When Jesus walked this earth he was 100 percent God and 100 percent man , but he laid aside his expression as God, while never losing his possession of God , to walk as our representative man lead by God's spirit, the first Adam sin in the garden with eve , bringing sin and death into world , but Jesus was called the second Adam 1st corthians15 vs 45 he came as our respesentive man lead by God's spirit even though he was 100 God to keep God's commandments on our behalf which we broke lying stealing , lusting etc , which the penalty is eternal damnation in hell for that , and paid our penalty for that by dying on calvarys cross sheading his blood for our sins and salvation, that broke law penalty could be removed over our head and be granted Salvation and purity , but what he did doesn't effect us til in humble repentance admitting our sins to God and freely receive by faith from the heart as a gift Jesus Christ and what he did at Calvarys cross long ago) and if we don't surender to God through what his only Son Jesus did for us as much as God loves us and doesn't want this is eternal punishment in hell instead of heaven , where God wants all
Jeff Daniels is the man! Hearing him is so illuminating and inspiring
Most under rated actor for decades. Finally getting the accolades he rightly deserves
You meant to write "underrated"
This is a very strange religion.
Always a pleasure to see jeff
"Escanaba by 'da moonlight"
Epic film.
Jeff feels so strongly about it that he moved him and his family to a town with 20 black people in it
You think that’s why he moved to the town? He moved back to his hometown is how I understand it.
@@markfitzurka9995 pretty big stones to throw from a town with 97% white population

@@cesar6932 I know right. I felt bad at chuckling 🤭

You’re right, black people are the most affected by Covid.
Jeff, why didn’t you lead by example. Why did you decide to move to town with: 96.1% white and 0.4% african-Americans
Virtue signallers don’t like to do the legwork.
You do know he lives in the same Michigan town that he grew up right? In fact, his dad was mayor for a time.
@@thomastreece6773 So not only does he not know what he's talking about now but he never did.
@@thomastreece6773 So he grew up privileged and his father did nothing to diversify or include minorities during his tenure as mayor?
I suppose both Scott and Christian embrace diversity and make sure they bring more minorities into their neighborhoods. Always easier to be a hater. I believe Jeff Daniels is a good guy. All of your issues won't change my mind. That's all I have to say. Now you two can flap your wings in the wind.
We need more people like Jeff Daniels! Honestly!
He’s one of the most reasonable, intelligent honest men I’ve ever met! Cheers bro
I didn't know they were rebooting Dumb and Dumber and cast swapping Carrey!
Jeff Daniels, he seems like someone you could sit and chat with for hours
As long as it was about shifting on white people.
The Looming Towers is the best drama on what happened with the intelligence agencies leading up to 9/11
How my hero's have fallen....😥
He was in one of my favorite movies when I was young (besides Dumb n Dumber), Fly Away Home. Such a beautiful movie from such a beautiful man
I forgot about Fly Away Home.
Chinese guy is Korean. Damn that line is funny. I mean I've heard similar things before but the way he said it was impressive. Gonna watch this one certainly.
It's a stolen line from a comedian.
@@Weareeverywhere14 as I said. I've heard this line before but the way he said it was good
I absolutely love Jeff Daniels.
All around the world, providing education to the highest level one qualifies for, return in value hundreds of times the cost
I just finished “A Looming Tower” and I must say, Jeff Daniels is now one of my favorites, even more so after this clip.
Incredibly cast, amazing acting from all concerned. I've watched the whole series 5 times already.
@@kikionthetrailoflove7036 Wow - 5 times?!? That's incredible! Maybe I'll watch it a few more times next year🙏🏽. I watched the NatGeo documentary, another about the city’s dept of buildings & construction, another about the women of 9/11, then I marched on the day. I’m full. Did you learn more each time?
@@tiffanyanderson9437 Absolutely, it's an incredible story about John O'Neill. If it was fiction you'd say that was far fetched on how after all his warnings he'd end up working at the World Trade Centre. I found it incredibly emotional.
The proper way of segmenting American races:
-African American
-European American
-Asian American
-Natives
You do know that the term African American was created by racist legislators as a way of creating laws for one group of Americans, but not another group of Americans, right? All you did was show you support a racist classification from a hundred years ago because it was given to you by the government
@@justing7490 it is a reality. Failure to recognise these races in your country is the reality of racism that have snowballed over the decades. The fact that European Americans label themselves as “Americans” but deny the other races is the golden example. It gets better when they shout “go back to your country”. 😂
@@justsomeoneelsee except all you did was make a straw man argument about the fact that some racists exist, so all Americans with a European ancestry are racist.
It is a historical fact that the first written references to the term African American were in legal documents created in the United States to give beneficial treatment to non-african Americans.
@@justing7490 do tell where the word “all” was found. Unless in the spelling of snowbALLed?
So? An African American is someone with African heritage. What is wrong with the term? They are still American. It is telling them to “return to their country” that is racists and denying them of their right as a citizen. Lets not forget how African families were torn apart by the gov too..still in the history books.
@@justsomeoneelsee Oh, I get it, you generalize the race, but everyone should know where you choose to differentiate based on......
Exactly
Systemic racism The ultimate boogie man. It's everywhere and no where at the same time.
I love how he maintains impeccable composure as the audience cheers and applauds. He speaks his mind for the sake of the thoughts, not the acknowledgments. Respect!
indeed
It’s called …pride!
Thank you, thank you simply thank you thank you
Jeff Daniels is fabulous.... brilliant actor, brilliant guitarist and extremely intelligent human being!! Just love him ❤️
Gotta respect Jeff Daniels 👏
Love an actor who isn’t a celebrity, but just a talented human being 👍‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
SOCIAL: Please start combining the 2-segment interviews into a single clip? Since YT doesn't seem to be able to give us a referral link to the second half...?
Love this brilliant guy.
Rest in peace Norm
His hometown of Chelsea Michigan is almost 97% white, the entire town has 20 black people in it. But he’s the guy we need to tell us how to react.
Why doesn’t he put his money where his mouth is and move into a real ghetto and spread his wealth around?
He’s not telling anyone how to react. He’s pointing out injustice, using the platform that he has. He is putting his money where his mouth is by producing a show that draws attention to injustice. He’s also interested in post-G Floyd America. White America needs to hear from people they will actually listen to, and he’s someone they listen to.
@@cerinaeyraud2147 “White America”. OK racist. He’s not changing anyone’s mind as far as how they think about current race relations. Not even one person flipped how they think about things because of Jeff Daniels.
Also, what injustice are you speaking of? He’s comparing Bloody Sunday to drug addicted felon dying.
@@deebee4575 when I say “White America” I’m talking about white people who are blind to what is really happening in this country. An older white man talking about race and justice might get through to someone. Isn’t it worth a try? Even if he gets one person to think twice about racial fairness, isn’t it worth it for him to try?
@@cerinaeyraud2147 Ih please. Just another elitist Hollywood hypocrite virtue signaling for woke points with his Hollywood friends.
Again, why doesn’t he move to a poor ghetto and spread his wealth around rather than living in a 97% white town?
This man is pure Midwest magic baby!!
Anti White Jeff Daniels lives in Chelsea Michigan. A small town with a little over 5,000 people living in it. 96%+ of the people living there are white. .04% of the people that live there are black. That's 20 black people. Jeff Daniels lives in a lilly white town with only 20 black people living in it. Not 20%. Literally 20 black people live in the town Jeff Daniels lives in. Mybe he and you should go hand out in Chicago and then get back with how that turned out for you .
@@parabot2 wow THIS is very telling. All you copy & paste fkbot trolls must really fear what JD & other folks w/similar perspectives represent. Cohesion? Understanding and compromise? Open dialogue? Can't have that, can you? How many times ya'll paste-post that same comment VERBATIM?

That clip was awesome af!
Jeff Daniels is also a fantastic ambassador for the great state of Michigan!
"Get educated."
Boom, those two words. This exactly. If we could stand to listen and learn, that's when we can truly call ourselves a great nation.
💯 % 👍
Assuming your political enemies are uneducated is not only sanctimonious but it's, definitionally, a fool's errand when your goal is unity.
Jeff, read Chris Hedges - "America: The Farewell Tour." It addresses all of this and how our politicians fail us
Also "war is a force that gives us meaning" by hedges. I read it long ago and thought of it recently when I saw Americans being super fucking clueless about what the end of war looks like. People thought they were being sjws when really they just have no clue because of our bigoted war culture
michael hudson
Love him!
Jeff is generalizing people without even knowing it. I thought he was smarter than that.
Nope, he was acting in Dumb and Dumber
Systemic racism was eliminated in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act. What system is racist in 2021 in America? Notice how woke liberals can never answer this question since their beliefs are rooted in false narratives, not facts.
@@Frederick0220 Where is your facts to back up that systemic racism magically disappear just because the law was passed? That’s incredibly naïve.
@@darlin5167 sweetie, do you not know what systemic racism is? No one is claiming that racism disappeared. They're claiming that the systemic mechanisms in the government which were used to discriminate against black people were made illegal, thus removing the systemic part of the racism.
After that, you have racists attempting to manipulate the system for racist means, but you do not have a systemically racist government.
Someone being able to manipulate a law to be racist is not the same thing as a racist law.
@@justing7490 I get what you’re saying Justin. My assertion is that while the racism may no longer be actual law, it continued to be baked into processes even if they weren’t overtly legal. You know, like how it’s not legal to discriminate in housing but it still happens all the time? Maybe we are arguing a technicality but I would say that changing the law does not automatically change attitudes and behaviors and practices.
CRT does not teach shame, as many whites would have you believe. What they are most afraid of is that, it teaches empathy really well.
Jeff Daniels is an absolute gem of a human being.
Jeff Daniels: The only "celebrity" I care to see. There is more to him than his next book or his next movie. But his next book or his next movie is about his values, his life, his own country.
Great knowledgeable man,fantastic actor 👏👏🙏
I can't see Jeff Daniels without hearing him scream "Bayonets!!" as his character Lawrence Chamberlain in "Gettysburg", a role for which he desperately deserved an award.
Thank you Jeff
Jeff Daniels should work on eliminating systemic racism at his theater in Michigan before he starts spouting off about it on TV.
One of the greats!!!!! Love ❤️
Thank you Jeff Daniels and Stephen Colbert!
Corporate America has for a long time, way before George Floyd, been pushing black celebrities in commercial spots… Shaq, Kevin hart, Pharrell, snoop dog, the rock, dikembe mutumbo, that dude from all state… honestly the list can go for ever. I have no idea what Jeff is talking about.
WOLLT IHR DEN TOTALEN KRIEG?!
Ja.
Not sure why but him starring in d&d led me to believe he wasn’t that bright but I’ve never had more respect for an actor. Well done
All this time I thought getting up and going to work every day to feed and provide for my family was all I needed to do. Only now after listening to the Dalai Jeff Daniel Lama do I realize I needed to read and educate myself so I can right all of the wrongs of humanity. Let's see....where do I start....I don't think I want to focus on slavery and racism just yet.....I want to start with eliminating the influence of the self proclaimed elite class over the common man to ensure all men and women are free to think and do what they want in pursuit of their own happiness. Once I undo that crime against humanity....if I have any time left.....I will go back and see what I need to do about slavery and racism
Wow, what a sarcastic, self-proclaimed know-it-all you are! Since when is someone who is trying to become educated on a critical topic related to the history of our country and culture committing a “crime against humanity”? Sounds to me like you’re the one with the elitist point of view!
Such a nice guy
Up next, Harvard professors on why systematically excluding Asians is not systematic racism
“And that Chinese guy is Korean”… I almost spit out my soup laughing
Thank you Mr Jeff Daniels. I think that there are so many of us Americans that need to hear your positive words about a very positive change that is coming to American. My heart yearns for an all inclusive American. We all need to keep steady and keep hope for our Democracy. These are dark times but there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Thank you for your positive uplifting words. I think your a very good actor but a great American human being.
Couldn't agree with Jeff more, Europa the last battle on bitchute really opened my eyes
Sounds like a great film. I'll check it out.
Excellent
Legendary doesnt even describe Daniels. Funny, intelligent, insightful just an amazing actor!
besides dumb and dumber what has he been amazing in? dumb and dumber he was playing a more messy version of himself. hes way dumber in real life. thease two race baiting eliteists are wastes of carbon.
I'd love to see Jeff's hopes and dreams for America come true. What a nation that would be!
He should start with himself. Why does he live in the whitest area imaginable?
I read "A Jew America".
i wish more people educated themselves like he did. he didn’t have to. but it’s good to hear coming from him.
JEFF DANIELS IS A HERO
I have it on good authority that the cop getting fired ends up turning his life around and finds his true calling in teaching math to inner city junior high school students.
I majored in English.
I was fed up with learning WASP/western literature.
This was the reason why I had taken African American Lit/South African Lit/Post-Colonialism (countries of whom were part of some European nation earning their independence after 1945).
I won't say I know everything that makes these people tic per se.
At least I have a primer on what they have gone through, collectively, to become the people they are today.
Goddamn I love this man.
Always love watching Jeff speak on Colbert. It's always about stuff that matters.
Jeff Daniels lives in Chelsea Michigan. A small down with a little over 5,000 people living in it. 96%+ of the people living there are white. .04% of the people that live there are black. That's 20 black people. Jeff Daniels lives in a lilly white town with only 20 black people living in it. Not 20%. Literally 20 black people live in the town Jeff Daniels lives in. Mybe he and you should go hand out in Chicago and then get back with how that turned out for you .
@@parabot2 I’ve spent plenty of time in Chicago. It’s been great.
I agree with everything the passionate and eloquent Mr. Daniels is saying.
I wish there had been more talk of the novel, which is about two 20 year old best friends from a dying Penn former steel mill town and how they get into big trouble. I've heard comparisons to Steinbeck. Reading the novel now and its terrific.
Never really cared for Mr Daniels as an actor but top notch human
The people that feel that Everything's Fine cuz it worked out fine for THEM are the ones that need educating. 👍
As a kid I knew him more for 101 Dalmatians but I dare say today, I think his role in Gettysburg is one of his best performances.
Jeff is such a good human, setting an example for how to respond to new information with compassion.
your a fool if you actually think that.
