1. Outstanding oration.

Whoever that guy is should be in charge of messaging for the whole Democratic Party.

[housecat]

25. Thank you!!

44. Here's the entire speech . ..

. . . It was delivered on January 30, 2016 at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena! (The clip shared above starts at 1:06:10 in the full video.)

[Hotler]

7. Amen. The lady behind him on his left wearing glasses doesn't look too happy.

[PatSeg]

15. I noticed the same thing

She looks really uncomfortable with what he is saying.

[Upthevibe]

33. Hotler..........

I noticed that too.

[Fla Dem]

35. The fellow in the white striped shirt on Mr Wise's right was not real pleased with the speech either

I think they were probably a couple.

[KS Toronado]

41. Just watched the entire hour & 39 minute

link Bev54 posted below. When the entire audience was laughing or applauding the gal on his left never once
even cracked a small smile. She was writing notes down when he said certain things I think to fact check
him. The guy on the right laughed & clapped with the crowd all the time. Those 2 never looked at each other
and at the very end when the woman was getting up to leave she didn't even look at him, I doubt they were
a couple.

8. I'm curious, what group was he speaking to?

[markpkessinger]

45. It was given at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena on January 39, 2016 . . .

Here's the full video -- the clip shared above starts at about 1:06:10.

[Delphinus]

10. Outstanding!

[malaise]

12. Would love to watch the full lecture

Thanks

[Bev54]

22. Here is the youtube link to the lecture. There is apparently 2 parts.

I am not sure if the 2nd part is the same day or not, it is a different format where he is sitting.

[KS Toronado]

23. Thanks for finding this Bev

[malaise]

29. Thanks Bev54

[malaise]

30. Thanks Bev54

[txwhitedove]

13. Wow, Amen!

[Goodheart]

14. For the most part Britain sent their religious kooks.

And we're still suffering for it.

[Rebl2]

18. That's the

truth.

[central scrutinizer]

37. The incompetent crooks who were caught

Were sent to Australia. The better crooks came here.

[Wild blueberry]

16. Our worst immigration problem

is the effing Puritans. White male self-righteous patriarchy, hatred of women and Mother Earth, continuing blight on our country.

[Rebl2]

21. Was going

to mention the Puritans in my post above, but didn’t.

[crickets]

42. This. The people who were so intolerant that England couldn't wait to get rid of them.

And they are still with us in a way.

[4dog]

46. Save your energy hating on the Puritans,

They have had over a dozen generations to change. Some of their descendants (Congregationalists, Unitarians) are on the progressive side of Christianity, and I doubt if many became RW Christians.

[misanthrope]

50. Exactly

There is way too much broad brush condemnation in these comments.

Virginia wasn't founded by religious extremists. They were there to make money and exploit what they saw a resources ripe for the taking. The culture that crept across the Tidewater region emulated England's landed gentry system. It wasn't remotely egalitarian.

Meanwhile, only 37 of the Mayflower's 102 passengers were Pilgrims. The rest wanted new lives in America but not for religious reasons.

Also, some of the characteristics of New England culture which seem most stereotypically American -- focus on grassroots self-governance, importance of quality public education, disdain for wealth-based hierarchy and royalty -- are a product of the region's religious founders.

17. I like it

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. Think how Aussies feel. We got England's religious zealots, Australia got...

England's convicts...

[drmeow]

51. We got convicts, too

England "transported" criminals to both the Americas and Australia.

[Solly Mack]

24. Love me some Tim Wise

[Uncle Joe]

26. Kicked and recommended.

36. Migration has always been a human thing

It is only in the last century that it has had legal rules attached to it. Borders are artificial, but they are accepted by the world at large. Certainly we aren't going along with the russians on that.

We should have better laws, but what he's saying is just emotional. People don't have the right to live in the US legally due to their having more indigenous blood than many American citizens do.

[calimary]

38. Wow! Mongo impressed!

Tim Wise! Who is this guy? I could listen to him all day!

[underpants]

39. He's an activist he travels and gives speeches

There’s a Wikipedia link and part 2 up this thread.

[calimary]

47. I actually sat down and watched all of Part One.

What an engaging and thought-provoking speaker! REEEALLY gets you thinking. I'm definitely a fan.

Will get to part two right away!
