In a conversation with a white friend of mine about white power she said to me, “We don’t even think about it.” To which I replied, “That’s the point.”
Does a fish think about the water? A human being in water does.
Exactly
Or that the power constantly being taken from everyone else so they can have that amount of power 💯
@@Lakersman24so,what you’re NOT saying is,it’s totally natural and original for you to have power ‘over’ another.
IT’S A LIE!
*White people are totally oblivious of the power of whiteness, because they simply just ARE!*
They don't want to be reminded who the real villains are.
It's the lack of empathy and inability for introspection. It's easier to blame the oppressed for their oppression than it is to take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself the hard questions and to change a mindset.
This is the one right here 👆🏽
That was perfectly said.
True
Because talking about race is not "convenient"
They feel shame and guilt. And some fear about losing their privilege on the social hierarchy.
Most of them are not rich enough to have a lot of privileges.
@@yvonneplant9434 That’s true as well. And even when they are poor they think their skin makes them superior to Black people. Look at how a large majority of the dominant culture looked down on the Obama’s. Even though Barack and Michelle Obama did all the things they say one is supposed to do to be successful in society. A great many of the dominant culture despise them for having more than them.
Ppl r NOT thinking about U, but ur always thinking about them!?🙄 Here we go... waiting on other ppl to change. When r we gonna focus on the things WE can control???🤷🏾♀️
Wouldn't you! That's why they furiously fight any social change, while Black people get disengaged with the political process bc they don't get everything they want within one political cycle.😊
One word: GUILT!
Not true. There are some true believers out there.
We need more teachers like HER!!!!!!!!!
In Vernon Connecticut, the Board of Ed gave a $100,000 settlement to a white student who sued because a discussion about police brutality made him feel bad in his class. His dad is a cop. But wait, no need to feel bad if your dad is professional at his job right??
It’s hard for them to talk about race because they are on the bad side of history involving it and hate being reminded about it. Oh well they take credit for everything else they should own that as well.
Thank you. Well said.
Agree. So true.
@@justmyopinion9883lol...no race has been in good side of history and white were extra bad
What a great and meaningful conversation! We need more of this!
They tried to bury her and didn't know they were planting a seed......come on Prof Hunter Say that then. ❤❤❤❤
yeah, I learned that phrase from her today on her Sha'carri video. I love it.
This is a great conversation with Professor Karen Hunter and this young lady Olivia Cole.
@05:25 Professor Hunter you made me laugh out loud. “Big dingalings “. 😂😂😂
This conversation is totally confusing to me. Why are we lobbying for black men to sleep with white women in 2024, and in the same breath talking about the dangers of "whiteness"? Especially sine white America has used BM/WW IRs as a sign of progress since the CRM rather than what black folk fought for during the CRM? How are black people, men or women, reducing black men to their man parts in 2024? Haven't BM/WW IRs contributed to the gender wars in the black community that has led to the divestment movement which is the gateway drug for black women to join the alt-right? Will we be lobbying for black women to sleep with white men next? My bad, it appears that is happening, especially within the divestment movement.
I love my people, but I don't understand my people.
They love to throw that victim card, guilt kills
Love you Professor Hunter ❤❤❤🔥
thank you.
Spot On Breakdown Of MAGA Mindset!
If your eyes arent open, they are now
Maybe we should acknowledge and apply the distinction between racism and bigotry. Racism being "unconscious conditioning" and bigotry being "intentional supremacy."
No matter how many voices you hear coming from the demon it’s the same demon- The Exorcist
Ms. Cole is not lying! You should see where I am from, in Bowling Green, KY. Those same people you are describing Prof., I remember seeing on a day to day basis.
Great show Karen 👏🏽 👍🏽 👌
Keith Ellison 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾is really making a difference here.
Thank you, Karen! Its been a minute but I still have mad love for you! A great broadcast on yesterday ❤
❤😊. This is so good. I love this conversation.
I like Olivia Cole
Let's consider the fact that silencing dissenters is number one priority. Many do want to talk about it but it won't be on social media. It must be in person. Because social media platforms have one person who will decide what will and won't be said.
The human condition. Just as people can't consider themselves the problem in relationships or can't apologize to someone they have bullied.
3 things they hate black to do, success due to intelligence, be over them in a hierarchy (their boss), or date one of their attractive people! Those things get them pissed!!!
There is no guilt or shame many feel that's the way it should be
Olivia's baaaaaaaaack
One extreme word: regret.
Your guest has been trained in anti- racist behavior and she is alright with me
she is also raising a daughter who is Black and wants to make sure she's okay in this world. I love it.
@@KarenHunterShowI feel like black and white interracial couples are very selfish and self centered people for birthing and bringing children into a system where white supremacy reigns and complain about the treatment their offspring receive especially white women who Dr Frances Cress Welsing said hardly ever identify their children as black they choose the term biracial instead of what society will define them as and that is black and she has the option to pivot to plausible deniability and that’s what becomes problematic for me dear sister
She said that yt people ain't aware of their racism..Lies....
They are more aware than anyone on this EARTH
I AGREE 100%, THEY’RE GUILT RIDDEN & HAVE BEEN RACISM AT BIRTH👀
@@capoislamort100 yea they act dumb that's how they keep power
@@reneehendrix7094 exactly, they created racism
I don't think she's talking about the same person you're thinking of.
@@playdave3476 she said yt people in general..
Because the devil can not tell the truth!... the truth convicts them, so they must live in their lie forever....
I have white blood family...biracial people too. We don't dance around the issues but we don't let it rule our lives.
POWER = Having something of Value that other's want, when you no longer want what someone else has, they no longer have POWER over you.
Well said and so thought provoking too.
This was Brilliant. I like what Olivia Brought to the table.
me too.
Love your show, there’s so much richness, intellect and thoughtfulness in each episode 💕
Simple. The TRUTH hurts.
Why should the conversation be had in the first place. For over 400 plus years we've tried over and over again to plead our case to a unwilling audience. Maybe, just maybe, the focus should be on how we deal with ourselves and how that interaction will improve our Social Survival. How and why should we try to relate to others, when we're still trying to understand ourselves....?
What about the many that already understand themselves? What do they do??
It’s guilt and they don’t want to own up to it
That student hated him so much because She wanted him and he wasn't interested...also!
its not in their subconscious to even think about it at all.
Powerful show Karen! Interesting indeed. Side note sister Karen. Let me know how I can get John’s information to you? He asked me if that was possible? We spoke today. I told him you asked how he is doing. Sister you are making a difference over the airwaves. Don’t stop! Keep on pushin.
Salaams! I suggested the best and blessed answer and UA-cam channel censored my comments. There has never been a such thing as “Freedom of Speech” 🎤.
I feel your pain. I'm censored right this very moment and have been for quite some time. You may see this comment but I certainly won't. 🤷🏿♂️
Your intelligence is unquestionable, but I bet you have never taken a bad picture in your life❤
Interesting conversation white settlers in South africa are also like white Americans in how they avoid the conversation they always so quick to say we all the same.
Love your show.
Thank you!
@@KarenHunterShow I am a 62 year old white man who grew up in a privileged, conservative white suburb of Chicago. I was a voting Republican for 36 years. My conversion began about 10 years ago and I continue to be educated and enlightened by people like you. Thank you for all you do.
@@jgo1961 Thank you. And welcome home!
Because they have a hive mindset.
Im multi racial and ethnically ambiguous, I was also raised that race didn't mean anything, but I used to describe myself as a white guy with a good tan... to my white friends (I only had white friends). Point is even if you aren't overtly oppressed, Whiteness and it's false superiority is ever present and establishes itself in ways we can't fully quantify
Because talking about race forces them to take a deep introspective of themselves, and that is hard for them to do. They don't mind being racist just don't remind them of it.
They want to remain comfortable with how they benefit from the current system.
They don't want to admit to what they continue to do......
Kids are their environment!!.
🙌🙌🙌
WIFM?
What do they benefit from talking about race?
That’s how you have to approach them
Heather McGhee is good at it
They need to listen
Hi Karen. Did you see Reggie Jackson's speech last week?
💯
WP love having & wielding their power & if they really believed they aren't privileged they wouldn't try to block the progress of others, especially when it's to their own detriment. There are too many examples of them acting & voting against their own best interest if it means it will benefit EVERYONE because they'd rather do without than see anyone not white, win.
🔥 🔥

As an American of African descent I believe there to be a number of reasons But I also believe its possible people of color put to much emphasis on race to sometimes their own detriment.
I grew up when integration of schools was starting and lots of kids were unhappy. White kids who were racist and black kids who didn’t want to be around white kids either and moved from the high school they loved. And when you struck up a friendship with a black kid, other black kids would call them Uncle Tom. I grew up playing baseball in the pasture with black kids and loved them. We didn’t understand the ignorance. I was attacked by blacks because I was white so hatred was all around and still lives today. Martin Luther King Jr said judge by the content of your character not color of the skin and he got it right. Liberals base everything on skin color instead of character as we are seeing today
So, you basically sound like a child in your understanding. Color is everything because your ancestors created it centuries ago to place themselves above others. Read and find out
We don't know what to say to you people because you might ask me to borrow money
Why are you here?
@Them_kids_momma I want a curly hair baby, no kinks. That way, they are guaranteed a job.
It’s hard for them to talk about race because they are on the bad side of history involving it and hate being reminded about it. Oh well they take credit for everything else they should own that as well.
@@Them_kids_momma I would of sold you for 2 dollars.
@@Nunyabiznessboi….what about all the Black descendants of Black slaveowners? Or we don’t include them in the racism circle? Just wondering because many whites ancestors came here 50 years after slavery ended. That’s why many are indifferent to reparations because they’re not the descendants slavers.
Or you can ask why so many Black Folks have this victim mentally from a history that they never experienced? And continue to think they actually suffered?
Because it's not "history" we are experiencing discrimination, hate, and racism TODAY!
And quite honestly, some of the biggest movements for equality and equity have happened in the lifetimes of folks who are still living.
@@jbooops9646 BS, you keep hanging on to this victim mentally. Grow up and move on.
@michaeltudda8462 way to call BS on US history and think it has no impact on the present.
Slow 👏🏾 clap 👏🏾 for 👏🏾 you.
@@jbooops9646 No I am calling out whiney victimhood. Don't blame others,. that is pu**y move.
Maybe because they're STILL being VICTIMIZED?!!!!
