- What is the ACLU?
- non-profit legal advocacy organization in the US
- Pro: has been instrumental in several cases involving First Amendment rights
- Con: those on the right argue that the ACLU is too progressive and biased in its advocacy
- Facts
- 43% of drug arrests are marijuana arrests (9 out of 10 of these arrests are for possession)
- Black people are 3.6 times more likely than white people to be arrested for marijuana possession, despite similar
- usage rates (in Montana it is 9.6x and Kentucky it is 9.4)
- this is roughly the same rate as pre-reformation times
- since 2010, racial disparities in marijuana arrests have actually worsened (Maine and Vermont it inreased after legalization)
- consequences of marijuana arrests are life-altering
- parents may lose children in court proceedings
- disabled may lose health care
- immigrants face deportation
- families evicted from public housing
- finding a job becomes difficult
- due to systemic racism in the justice system
- War on Drugs policies disproportionately target people of colour
- racial profiling is to blame
- larger issue (www.pewtrusts.org/en/research...)
- "Overrepresentation of Black people in jails is a reflection of disproportionally higher admission rates and longer average lengths of stay for Black individuals than for their White or Hispanic counterparts. And these disparities persist across charge severity, age group, and sex, as well as other metrics" - Фільми й анімація
as someone who lives in oregon(legal), i don’t get how anyone could be opposed to this content. i can go to the store and buy weed, but people have been sitting in prison for it? nah that’s not ok. why are people angry😭
why are his comments oblivious that sisyphus was never right wing or even center
I always thought of him as left of center. Appearing as a centrist in most of his videos. He's definitely no radical
@@andrewgodly5739 what in your definition is a radical
@@weeb6316 the will to liberate the world from class tyrannies and establish an equal egalitarian society
@@andrewgodly5739 hm do you see being a radical in a positive or negative view
@@andrewgodly5739 and what political beliefs would you believe a radical fall under?
this is so funny how people are reacting like this typa content isnt right up his alley
RIGHT LMFAO
imagine being so fragile you unsub because of a video like this - people gotta stop taking pride in their own ignorance
I didn't think your audience was this right wing
Fr
Wait what :♡ im 10s in this podcast, rightwing ppl love his content? I hope he hecomes a bridge for both left and right to mix and understand eachother
@@aradiamegido2965 from my experience, right wingers are far too hateful to ever understand where anyone on the left wing is coming from.
I think his style appeals to everybody. Right wing people might enjoy his cool thoughtful videos but when they see him exploring his interests it's ohnono I thought you were better than that sys
Some of the early content probably appeals to the right wing
Love this content. Screw the haters. Slavery, Jim Crow, Cointelpro etc all happened, and continue to affect current events. The haters just want to bury their heads in the sand and not ask the obvious question: how do past events affect the present? Discussions like this address that question. The haters just want to say black people are inherently criminals and move on like the lazy idiots they are.
Yep n the same people claim rome as the birth of western civilization. These folks always deal in different standards.
That is a strawman tbh. Nobody is saying inherent. Fatherlessness is a much greater correlation for crime regardless of race. People love to say the past effects the future but Nobody brings up the Jews for this point.
@@eazyratstatistics please, if you're going to announce a blanket statement like that as a fact, please provide some resource you're referring to for this so called fact
I don't even know where to start with what's wrong with a statement such as the one you've made
@@vishnu2407the official fbi statistics will show this. I can look for it later. What exactly is the problem with what I've said?
@eazyrat Where does fatherlessnes come from, the ether? Maybe incarcerating millions of men for bs offenses contributes to the problem? In other words, again you are looking for easy answers for societies problems while ignoring hundreds of years of history.
Great conversation! Looking forward to more from this series :)
Love to see this! Using your platform like this is encouraging and gives me hope. :)
thank you for talking abt this! great vid and discussion 😊
As far as topics go, I actually think "fatherlessness" among minority groups is worthy of discussion. The term itself is the new dog whistle, but comparing minority vs white family demographics would be a great way to examine bigger socio economic issues. And it's another topic you can bring in FD Signifier because he already does work on black families specifically.
Dog whistle 😂 they say the right are the conspiracy theorists.
@@eazyrat What is "Fatherlessness," and why is it the root cause (or at least a really important root cause) of society's problems?
@@MajorLuciousit's when the father is absent from the child's life. There is a correlation of fatherlessness and crime, regardless of race. What do you mean the root cause of societies problems? If a child is more likely to go on to commit crime without a father present then you can imagine the problems. Edit: trying to post a link to a news week article by larry elder but youtube keeps deleting it🙄. Read that if you can find it.
@@eazyrat So fatherlessness is so much more important than race that we should just ignore 200 years of racial history in this country? Does the decades of slavery, Jim Crow, Redlining, Cointelpro, etc have such little impact on society that the issue of fatherlessness supersedes all other factors?
Kids have been born out of wedlock since the dawn of time. You can't point to anything in society and say it was caused by fatherlessness on a large scale.
We can draw a direct line from the criminal justice system to broken homes, but then "fatherlessness" is just a symptom, not a cause.
I know Larry Elder's work. He'll spout some nonsense about boot strap mentality that has no bearing on anything.
@@MajorLuciousdid you read the article? Incarceration figures fir blacks were better than whites in the 60s. If the correlations are true then I don't see why it shouldn't be prioritised.
We should be ignoring those things you've mentioned as much as possible yes. They have their criticisms also but mostly because where do you ever see in self help or therapy that focusing on the past and having a victim mentality does anything good for a person.
The end goal with race should be that it becomes as mundane as the colour of your hair but instead we are being told about our whiteness and blackness as features which any philosopher would understand to be bs and frankly racist.
Keep it up!
great video
Hope you'll get FD signifier on at some point as well!
FD was in his podcast a little while ago, one of the better episodes imo!
Why does he have a lesbian flag hanging in his room, just curious
his roommate is lesbian. (source: I made it up)
38:53 show me the bush!
Sappho55 when?
Wow
Get tirrrb on here sometime!
@Sisyphus 55 Is that a lipstick lesbian pride flag on your wall?
Can u talk about funny cat videos next thx :3
People don't care about they're fellow black Americans. Even tho they went to war and died for them and fought like everyone else. If you guys disrespect veterans I got no respect for you. And you should probably check yourself
i have no respect for any undrafted vet after wwii. no american-involved conflict in the last 80 years has been righteous or good. none of the millions of lives lost have been to protect america, it’s all been to maintain our influence and hegemony over the world.
who is disrespecting veterans??
@@weeb6316 people who say black people are stupid and not good people because of genetics. Your disrespecting the ancestors and offspring of men who fought and died for you.
The US doesn't respect veterans beyond lip service anyway. Sending off the young and poor to throw away their bodies and minds doing the bidding of the empire in the first place isn't what I'd call respect.
turn to Jesus Christ he loves all of us more than anything and he literally died for us. He took in the punishmrent for our sins thru on the cross. It wasn’t cuz we deserved it, but cuz he loved us. 1 John 4:10 “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” it was thru his love that he died for us and we can be forgiven
I dont think capitalism = racism, but it was easy to exploit & with unions be more racist. But id love to be told why thats to be the case, theres communidm as we know it doesn't work. We need to drop that fantasy of a perfect utopia if WE made it. People before us have thought the same, i prefer capitalism
you may want to edit this comment to be more readable
when has he said capitalism=racism
your making a lot of bold claims when have unions been used for racism also you seem misinformed to think there is no other alternative to capitalism set for communism
also how is communism a perfect utopia what countries have achieved communism
1. obv. we can draw distinctions between capitalism and racism but they doesn't exist in a vacuum and at large there hasn't been one without the other.
2. there isn't a communism as we know, we don't know communism yet.
3. the orthodox communist tendency is very explicitly anti-utopian.

Bro on his white guilt arc 💀
You on your ignoring statistics and logic arc?
white guilt???
what has he said that makes you believe that
@@jade.sx9 you had me at "trend" 😌
Brother didn’t watch the whole video and lacks basic thinking skills
Th
So sad
why are you sad
Have you ever thought black people might be *booked* for marijuana posession more because they are *arrested* for other crimes? E.g. a black person robs a store and has marijuana on them versus a white person who just has marijuana?
It's over-policing either way (and it's closer to "black people are *suspected* of committing a crime therefore when they have marijuana at the same rate as white people they are arrested more often)
Wouldn't they be booked for robbery instead? 🙄
@@johnwayne9983poverty.
Goddammit I miss read this stupid comment 😂. I'll post my screed somewhere else
Why would they have weed on them during a robery? Also you would have to provide some pretty compelling data that many of those bookings for weed included other crimes.
Not sure i agree with much but why not have the discussion. Only thing thats out of order really is trying to portray the police as mostly bad people and outliers if theyre good like thats a given.
Why are watsing your energy making content this isnt activism
gooba
Its showing the topics at stake to the general public
Why are you writing stupid comments instead of protesting about something?
Because he wants to make this content.
Why do you want to be ignorant of these topics?
Ew
why are you saying ew
Yikes, unsubbed
Yeah, can't have anyone talking about real world problems can we? Gotta ignore the issues of minorities otherwise you might feel bad for not doing anything to help stop them.
yikes don’t care
why would you be subbed anyway
bye!
you sure showed him
You look like the guy who drew for olisunvia
he is that guy lol. they were doing a lot of collabs for a bit, he’s actually the reason i’m subscribed to her
@@allen.simmons9150 He read a few lines for her new video which came out a couple hours ago, even some animations which we know and love :)
