Lincoln Project latest ad is incredibly powerful: Doc Rivers' words

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

[bottomofthehill]

1. Wow, powerful is the right word.

Loved Doc As a coach with the Celtics. Mad respect for him as a leader and a person.

[Illumination]

24. What happened to the thinking that all men are created equal?

[jaxexpat]

26. It was accepted in crystal irony on the documents of our founding fathers then.....

and remains to taunt their progeny to do better today.

[japple]

27. Those words came from a time when black men and NO women were considered

as whole people.

[generalbetrayus]

28. With apologies to George Orwell,

"All men are equal, but some men are more equal than others."

[Illumination]

40. Oh ok. You must be talking about that low life Trump...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. YES. Very powerful, full of pain and truth.

The Constitution is for ALL.

[malaise]

3. He speaks for me

I posted the video the day he spoke - he made me cry

[StrictlyRockers]

5. It is a great video!

It's a very well-done ad!

[malaise]

6. Love it

[StrictlyRockers]

7. You don't have to be black to be outraged.

But it might help!

[malaise]

9. I'm so tired of this madness

Racism is taught

[StrictlyRockers]

11. Babies have no racism. At all!

They have to learn to hate the other. Racism is learned by the examples of your parents and peers!

[malaise]

31. Same is true with toddlers

We adults are the assholes

[Pathwalker]

4. Thank you for this.

[lunatica]

8. I actually got goosebumps watching this.

I wonder if these ads are being used multiple times or just once.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

10. I believe the Lincoln Project openly admit to using analytics on effectiveness of digital ads then..

they decide where/how to spend their money placing those ads broadly in battleground states. They choose the right ads for the right demographic targets.

I believe this one is a real winner and should be played in major ad buys everywhere it counts for the electoral college win for Biden/Harris.

[lunatica]

12. Thanks!

I’m glad they’re doing that. I hope it hits their target groups like a bullseye!

[jaxexpat]

29. Never fear, Trumpists will continue to provide material for ads such as this.

I hope we don't become too jaded lest they become unable to touch hardened hearts inured to outrage.

[JI7]

45. That's pretty much what Obama did

[SaveOurDemocracy]

13. Needs to be played EVERYWHERE and OFTEN! - especially swing states.

This is just the raw truth from a non-political man who is well-known and respected. White BB fans who are are uncomfortable with the idiot's actions and inactions may make the jump to Biden/Harris.

[BComplex]

14. Wow. That was powerful. It made me cry.

I can so empathize with what he's saying. These acts against Black Americans are disgusting, and the republicans are the ones trying to act like the victims.

[Karadeniz]

15. I'm with him!

[33taw]

16. Where do they run their ads? I live in WI and have

yet to see one - except the Internet. I hope they realize who the states are and that WI needs more than Milwaukee and Madison to vote. We got burned in the Fox Valley in 2016. I hope Biden and the national teams open their eyes. Trump has been pounding that turf since 2018.

[qwlauren35]

20. Keep in mind,

Even though we love their ads, the position of most DUers is that we should not send them any money.

And then we wonder why their ads don't make prime time.

[33taw]

32. I wouldn't give them money.

[Mick Travis]

44. Lifelong Democrat here and I've sent them money.

They are on our side in this fight and I welcome their help.

[33taw]

17. Where do they run their ads? I live in WI and have

18. Anti-Trump super PAC Lincoln Project runs $4 million ad blitz

A super PAC that’s targeting President Donald Trump is initiating a $4 million ad blitz that’s set to run throughout the week of the Republican National Convention.

The Lincoln Project, a political action committee run by a group of Republican “Never Trumpers,” is spending the seven figure sum on TV and digital ads that will target voters in the key states of Arizona, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, a spokesman for the group told CNBC.

The PAC plans to air a revamped version of their famed ad, “Mourning in America,” which will now feature an updated U.S. death toll from the coronavirus pandemic, along with another spot that boosts Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris. Data compiled by Johns Hopkins University shows that over 175,000 people have died in the U.S. from Covid-19.

42. I saw that last week. I just haven't seen their ads

run in WI.

19. Slow clap

Well said and well done.

[littlemissmartypants]

35. I had to research "slow clap" ...

A form of clapping in which audience members clap slowly, with long intervals between claps, as a form of heckling and to show that they disapprove of a performer, speaker, etc. A form of applause (especially used in films for dramatic effect) that slowly crescendoes from one person's clapping to a crowd's.

Really?

38. Not exclusively derisive

It's a movie trope traditionally employed used to show deep approval. Like everything after the bolded part of your excerpt.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. Got it. Thanks for the reply. ❤ nt

[patphil]

21. A stunning rebuke of White America!

The fear in in the white community. They are afraid they will lose control of the country; afraid they will no longer be the ones who call the shots, and get the best seats at the table.

They call themselves Christians, yet so many of them have no love in their hearts.

Jesus said. "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do also unto me".

Millions of White Americans have been doing their best to do their worst to the black, brown, red, and yellow Americans.

Doc Rivers is right to ask why Black Americans love this country when so many people in this country don't love them back.

I am an old white guy, and I stand with Doc Rivers.

[yuiyoshida]

22. This is amazing...and it might change some minds...but most, I think not...

The Republican party is a cult now... they only see Donald Trump as their god... but hey sorry, not this time. This time we will win! There are more of us, than there are of them. They may have to learn some hard lessons. So be it. IT is what it is.

[The Wielding Truth]

23. K & R !

[DAMANgoldberg]

25. Wow! #awesomesauce

I'm so glad that they included Mike Tomlin, Tony Dungy, and John Thompson as African-American successful coaches who have won the biggest prize in their respective sports and leagues.

[Cha]

30. That Is Powerful! Thank you!

34. whenever i see a happy little black boy, i wanna hug him, cause i am so sad about what will be.

46. This is fabulous.

[warmfeet]

47. I am American,

and I am outraged. This shit better change very soon.

Thank you Doc Rivers!!!!

Black Lives Matter. Time to make it reality. Very soon.

[czarjak]

48. All I know is...

The last republican candidate said “we’re all children of the same God” in 2012. Rule changes?

[lordsummerisle]

49. K&R

Very well done...

[calimary]

50. Breathtaking.

Glad they’re on our side.





For now...

[BobTheSubgenius]

51. 5050

Heart-breaking and infuriating, in equal measure.
I bet Mr. Rivers is a powerful motivator.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

52. Such a good video.

If anyone can watch this without finding at least some understanding of what's happening in our country, they will never get it.

[TomCADem]

53. That is the best Ad, because it was not an Ad.

it was Clippers coach Doc Rivers speaking from the heart.

[Squidly]

54. every time I have heard his interview

on TV, I have not ONCE heard the beginning where he speaks about tRump. They always cut that part out. VERY powerful ad and it should hit home for ALL Americans. Doc is one hell of a coach, but most importantly one hell of a human being.
