On today's "Velshi" airing on MSNBC, host Ali Velshi put on a 6-minute "clinic" about history, facts, truths, and realities of the United States of America in our current environment.
From inequities in health care to the absurdity of blocking teaching actual history in our schools, Mr. Velshi produced a call-to-action which reflects the honest actuality - we are in a major inflection point in our times.
Watch. It. Now.
When I viewed this segment, I was immediately swept with emotion. The depth of the conversation. The breadth of the facts and history. As an African American man, I found myself standing up, grabbing my phone, and begin to record. I didn't want to let this moment pass without capturing it.
So, I won't air my opinions about the information given. I don't need to. Ali left nothing to comment about. This is one of the most detailed descriptions of the realities in our countries i've heard in a long time.
To you, Ali Velshi, I say, "bravo," and "well done, sir."
