  • Debate = Good

    Update ~ Amanda Seales is a zealot race moron. Which means many liberals love her.

    Scary reading the 1 star reviews. When did difference of opinion & debate become a bad thing? You should want to hear multi sides, very few things are blk & white.

  • Jubilee needs to be stopped

    It’s crazy what they do. First it was with Mehdi Hasan with people openly telling him to leave. Which is crazy. Now the one with Amanda Seales. Literally many of them weren’t even black AMERICANS they were African come from the POV of Africa. And it is WELL known Africans don’t like African Americans. There are literally black American comedians that have sets talking about how they don’t like visiting parts of Africa because they are anti black Americans for some reason. So bringing in Africans... more

  • Steamrolling?

    I like the concept. Occasionally the person in the center is a good debater. However, most of them are just loud blowhards who don’t let the other 25 speak. Please moderate the center person more.

  • Not Everyone Needs a Platform

    I’ve watched Jubilee for a long time, including every surround and really enjoy some of their videos. My favorite was probably with Jordan Peterson. However, this last debate with the “far right” (really just facials) rubbed me the wrong way. Presenting these people like intellectuals is legitimizing their beliefs, and that’s something I really cannot agree with.

  • Meh …

    Mostly shouty nonsense from defiantly ignorant big mouths - occasionally someone like Mehdi Hasan is able to convey some valid, interesting info but this show is mostly just a car crash to get men with tiny p. issues fired up.

Yes, but not everyone can be a millionaire. Some people are born into wealth, while others are not, which complicates the idea of meritocracy.
