Political analyst and San Francisco University Professor, Dr. James Taylor breaks down key points around the historic speech delivered by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to the joint sessions of the Congress and Senate. We raise questions about why there was no mention of African students who were not allowed to leave the Ukraine. We explore the great deal of empathy directed towards the Ukrainian people but very little for other minority groups such as African, Caribbean, Middle Eastern and South Americans people attempting to escape military attack.
