What is systemic racism in America?

- You may think racism in America is caused by a few bad apples. But this animation shows how it's a systemic problem.
The history of racism in America goes back hundreds of years. In the 17th and 19th centuries, white men needed land so they took it from Indigenous people and then enslaved Black people to work the land. To justify using free labor, the whites in power promoted a myth that Black people were inferior.
White Americans now hold 85% of this country's wealth. Black Americans hold just over 4% and Hispanics hold just over 3%. People of color are statistically more likely to be impoverished, incarcerated and face discrimination in health care.

Also, very convenient that in graph breakdowns of wealth distribution in America based on skin color, for “white” they never mention the handful of people who own the overwhelming majority of wealth distributed among that slice of pie.
There's a reason all this racial awareness crap started to take off in the media after Occupy Wall St. back in 2011.
Gotta keep the common plebs fighting amongst themselves over garbage like racism so theyre distracted from the rich elites burning money and making us pay for it.
Not to mention the usa is more than 60% white, ofc theyll hold most of the wealth
They also omit Hispanic Americans, despite the fact that 90% of them are racially white according the US Census. Once Hispanics are correctly included as white, suddenly this theory makes no sense, especially with Asians being the highest earner
well whites defend the system even more fervently than the wealthy
It's not racist to say a larger majority of whites were and still are generally more educated and generally exposed to modern ideas. History does not always fit your political or racist ideology. If it was another time in history I would tell you the middle eastern folks were generally more educated and exposed to new ideas.
It’s ridiculous that so many people are in denial about this.
There are many things wrong with this video but I’ll just make a few:
1. What are the sources of these statistics?
2. Why did they not include Asians or American Indians?
3. How do they explain the success of Nigerian-Americans who excel far ahead of white people?
Systemic racism is real if u want me to elaborate I can, this video is a bit retarded tho
@@0Takethoserisks0 please enlighten me.
@@0Takethoserisks0 Elaborate, please. In todays world, we want to know where this systemic racism is.
@@TheJacksparrowcp if you’re white, you’re more likely to be better off cause your ancestors were better off, if you’re black or Latino you have a higher chance of being in poverty cause your ancestors were treated so poorly in America, and the reason why Asians make so much money is because of a phenomenon called "brain drain". What America did is they banned asian immigration In America but when they lifted the ban they only let super educated and wealthy Asians in hence why Asians make so much money now.
I disagree with all of that. You can be as powerful and wealthy as you want to be. I've seen much success in every race and if you're blaming white people, than the racism falls down on you. I'm sick and tired of people not seeking education and becoming great. I've dated all other races and all of them became successful because they wanted to work hard and not seek free handout payments from the government. If this continues, a Civil War far greater than the last one will rise and we will all be dead. The way Mexicans treated Mexicans and African Americans treated African Americans was far worse. Same goes for everyone else you managed to state. It's a global thing not a "White" thing. You can stay white washed if you want but you really need education on the matter. Just because you see a rich white man who controlled the wealth due to banks, doesn't mean were any of this.
Part of the reason why systemic issues exist is because a lot of people do not know what one is or think it is something else. Real life isn’t black and white, everything is swayed by many different kinds of influences. By extension, no single reason is solely responsible for the entirety of the problem.
The problem with the idea of systematic racism is there's no laws on the book saying you're not allowed to do this because of your skin color
@@joshuaoverlord5327 you don't have to have overtly racist laws for them to have a covertly racist effect. For example, if I were to write a law that cut funding to every city in America, it wouldn't be racist, since white people live in cities too, but it would have a disproportionate impact on black people, and therefore, a racist effect. All without ever mentioning race.
@@ryanwalsh5019 that is the most stupidest example I've ever heard of because that affects everyone it's not giving white/black/brown a special privilege. Unless you're saying that blacks overall need more money because they can't work or be self-sufficient
@@joshuaoverlord5327 now you're beginning to get it! That law affects everyone on paper equally, but because certain groups live in cities at a higher rate, discriminating against cities has a disproportionate impact on those groups.

Systemic racist is based purely on statiscal discrepancies, as opposed to concrete, tangible policies/methods that are racist. Can you really say that racism is intertwined in our dna but not be able to point out one genuine racist policy. True equality in every single statistic across every single division will never happen. There will always be random discrepancies between statistics, and to assume there is racism in the cloud somewhere is absolutely ridiculous

@@BantuRH be civil dude, he is right in a sense the video hasn't cited any sources, studies or reasoning other then racism
@@BantuRH pls shutup...
The entire prison system is overtly racist. In short, this is how
1) black communities are underinvested in, no jobs, no opportunities
2) young black people have less money, less opportunities and lesser chance at a attending a good school.
3) the state gentrifies the area further by favoring Businesses over Residents: insisting on more businesses, no matter their social cost to the neighborhood. Disinvestment: Long-term loss of funding for streets, sidewalks, streetlights, schools, parks, pools, etc. Displacement: Residents and small businesses, such as corner stores; raising rents, evictions
4) police allow drug abuse in these areas, as long as they don’t flood into white neighbourhoods.
5) police patrols increase in these areas. Assume guilt before obtaining evidence. Approach with your gun drawn. Police brutality.
6) Arrest black criminals (who are only criminals because they don’t have any other way to survive)
7) once imprisoned the prison system doesn’t seek to rehabilitate, or build skills for the inmates. Instead it’s college for a lifetime of crime. Inmates are paid on average $1 per hour for labor. - this is a systemic way of recreating slavery
8) once trapped in this circle, white people and politicians quote crime figures, that black communities drugs and crime is rife. That black people are violent and endangering society. White people believe this, that crime is somehow in black peoples DNA.
9) white people generally speaking label black people as a problem.
This is just one example of how systemic has worked in the US.
Imagine a world where you’re both playing the same computer game. Just white people play the game on a much easier setting.

Well there’s a little bit to unpack there but I’ll go ahead and just state that the police always go after the poorest of the poor, no matter what race that is. I remember being harassed all the time by the police and pulled over all the time by the police because of who my family is which I won’t say on here because I’m not trying to ruin my reputation.
I also understand that if you are getting arrested more than another race than that seems to mean that your race is committing the most crimes, which is actually statistically proven in this case. I’m just saying.

This video highlights essentially random statistics, and then without context or explanation, cites the reason as racism. It's kind of irresponsible and takes the spotlight from actual cases of racism. If you add the Asian and "other" demographics to this, it turns out whites are not at the top of the food chain, so to speak. See for yourself. This video is quite disingenuous. I'm certain this journalism team doesn't understand basic statistics, let alone responsibility. If we're to believe this video, Caucasian doctors let black babies die more because of racism. It's there anything else contributing to this? So doctors of other ethnic backgrounds see this happen? This is a quote from that study, made at Northwestern University in 2020 - "First, Black infants experience inferior health outcomes regardless of who is treating them." Sooooooooooooo, the root problem exists, and instead they cried that a white doctor did this, though that race of doctor could've been anything and black babies will still have a higher mortality regardless. Instead of pointing to the real problems to find real solutions, everyone says racism and the effort stops there. Who loses? All those dead black babies. This entire video is scripted like this. This is a real problem that's not convenient to admit.
When you talk individual behavior it doesn't fit cultural norms....stats take over and declare unfairness
You're a bastion of reason in this insanity. I don't see a solution to the infant mortality problem other than killing white babies for the sake of equal outcome. 😅

@spot light Unfortunately, a lot of people believe there aren't any. It's sad that their vision is shrouded. Maybe one day they can care for humanity rather than being shitty.
@spot light Rioting isn't the answer. Change is the answer. But, most people are uncomfortable with change. They're afriad it will change their way of life. Changing their way of thinking would be a step in the right direction. I guess we'll never know, though.

Racism is such a hot topic because everyone is racist. Its engrained in your genes and my genes.
Humans lived in isolated small groups for thousands of years. We all lived in the same places for so long, that our physical appearance adapted to the geographical areas we were in. Seeing people of a different "race" meant you were seeing someone from a different geographical area, and you were likely being invaded, hence your tribal apprehension for other races. We lived this way for about 200,000 years.
Thing is...is easy to get over. Those who cannot stop talking about race are still trying to learn to get over their racism.

You are not wrong
This is true because European whites have also been killing each other and had a tribal nationalist mentality up to the end of WW2. The wars in 19th century, WW1, and WW2 attest to how whites were killing other whites due to the tribal mentality. Whites stopped killing other whites only in Western Europe. Eastern Europe and Russia are still fighting wars against each other despite that they are white and look alike.

A quick story. I have coached at HS level and below for over 30 years. I LOVE all my guys...all of them.
I had a young black kid who was a terrific hitter (baseball). I hit him 3rd in our lineup. He could mash a baseball despite his diminutive size. He had one issue tho. When he'd hit the ball, he'd get so excited, he would miss touching a base almost every time he was up. This took us out of important innings, with key guys coming up. We worked with him one on one at practice trying to cure it. No luck. So one game I thought I'd hit him 6th....maybe take some pressure off of him, and see if this would help the case. It did a bit...but with more work to come.
After the game his father confronted me and accused me (loudly and in front of others) of being a RACIST ! I was a racist because I moved his kid down the order to help him. Dad would not listen....I was a racist. Interestingly, I asked him if I was a racist yesterday, as yesterday I batted his kid 3rd !!! He simply turned and walked away, saying "racist" several times under his breath .
As a man of color, I am deeply sorry. I hope you do recognize that this mindset is being thrust upon us by the progressive left, and will do your due diligence to push back on this with your vote for those with moderate or conservative sensibilities, i.e. non race baiters.
Like the other gentlemen of color I agree we do apologize for the thought mental that some of our people possess when it comes to not getting what they want or their way an it happens to be a white person and that racist card comes out.
Like Trump, it was all fine and dandy as a billionaire an people wanted to be him of color but run for office an boom he's racist lol. An like you did when asking that father when your son was batting at 3rd yesterday vs 6 today was I a racist, you will never get a true answer. Please keep your head up and know that not all of us black americans know an feel every white is a racist.
@Kevin Anderson to be real I totally never understood that. I physically witnessed my own color of people calling whites and asians out of their names an just base it on their nationality. Whites was called the C-word and asians called slanted eyes or anything else of low graded. However that's not racist 🤷♀️🤦♂️. Calling a Japanese person a Chinese person isn't racial profiling 🤦♂️🤷♀️.

It’s simple recessive mutations aka whites are living in a Cindy’s state of survival, and there biggest threat is dominate negro genes and culture. So you have to control deprive or destroy in order to stay afloat
Racism is lookism. People generally don't want to breed with blacks, thus they don't perform "aspiration behaviors" with them. They don't seek out homes with blacks. They don't give jobs to blacks. They don't go to universities with blacks. In fact they flee areas with them, like highschool kids avoiding the fat kids. All of the complaints of "systemic racism" by black people are complaints that whites don't find them hot basically. This is why these complaints also fall on deaf ears, it's romantic greed that the blacks are asking whites to resolve. Sorry but the government can't force whites to want to mate with blacks.
Unless you walk in dark skin of another country or culture. You will never understand. Unfortunately not all white people share in your thoughts. But to be fare, there is another kind of racism. Doesn’t matter the race, a lot of Americans born in this country hate people from other parts of the world, just for being different, speaking, language, culture and also color. It’s unfortunate
A good example of systemic or institutional racism is showing preference in college admissions to people of color even when their test scores are lower than those of white or Asian people.
You don't seem to know the difference between TRUE and FALSE victimization! Here's a true life example of the actual race problem in employment. A Black man applies for a skilled position as a service technician. He meets all education and experience requirements of the position. All the applicants must take a competitive examination on ELECTROMECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY. The Black man scores 97% on the test to make the number one highest score. THREE white males with LOWER test scores are hired. The Black man who made the top test score was NOT hired! Do you see the problem?

They should have gone into the history of where this all comes from.. it’s a very well documented history
Or they could do something like show other variables like level of education completed, hours worked per week, participation in risky behavior and incarceration rates, etc.
Another thing they could have done was include Asians into these statistics and correctly included Hispanics as White, like they’re counted for the US Census. Of course, doing this would lower the White category and reveal an Asian supremacy, which just doesn’t work with the narrative they’re trying to push here.

And for centuries, Jews were the only people allowed to do jobs like that, so even their success has roots in their discrimination in the past.
Asian Americans were just pushed really hard by migrant parents to become very smart in school and they sure did become very smart. Discrimination didn’t really play a direct role there
I would like to get a statistic of the number of white people who have immigrated to the US after slavery and jim crow. These white have nothing to do with those racist periods of US history. And I would imagine that a large number of whites are in this category. My grandparents immigrated to this country 30 years ago with one suitcase per family member. I could not say that they experienced “White Privilege”. Rather, my grandparents and parents have countless times been taken advantage of not knowing the systems and language of this country. From only being able to work at low paying jobs and to this day I still find them getting screwed because of their language barrier. But I would still consider this country the greatest that has ever existed because we have succeeded more in this country, in-spite of our own challenges here, than the former country we came from where our culture and race was the same as the rest of the citizens. With hard work, resilience, and not relying on anybody else, I have seen countless of immigrants come a far way from when they initially came to this great country. I realize that not everyone has the same starting point or obstacles. But painting with a wide brush of “racism” and “white privilege” is over simplifying and not looking into deeper root problems. If you have not first put in 110% of your own effort into your success, don’t blame others for your shortcomings.
Your reply is excellent. Very well written and I totally agree with your conclusions. Regular people like us will win out. Americans are getting tired of political fanatics.

No such why of checking exists in social sciences, which is why they’re generally thought of as not nearly as important or credible.
Additionally, problems with Critical Race Theory is the existence of rich black people, existence of poor white people, and the fact that poor whites have more in common with poor blacks than middle class blacks have in common with poor blacks (oversimplified). Like most philosophers throughout history, critics of Critical Race Theory dismiss it and claim the struggle is one of classes, not races.

What about systemic racism in Africa or mexico? Last time I checked mexico was founded my Mexicans, Africa founded by black people and America founded by white people. A country founded by whatever dominate race, I also expect to be leading the wealth in that same country.
Africa is not a country
Native Americans have been the most systematically oppressed people. To think yourself as superior 60 years ago, safe in the knowledge that we wouldn’t do anything. That is what America is about, you can say it is better than before. But these systems are still in place. We were once a proud strong and healthy race of people now reduced to dregs. Open your eyes Europa descendants, you are the luckiest of the collective and you created such systems. Wether you support it or not, it should be torn apart regardless. If it’s not a problem then why must it still persist?
Why should it be torn down if we are lucky
Whites came and conquered. We made people build it for us like many other nations. Without our knowledge our "workers" would not have had the knowledge to build this place tho, so ultimately everyone in this country should be thankful for what the white man envisioned and made happen for all of those who get the honor of being born here.
What utter twaddle
I got a chronic illness, and my friends and family through me to the curb.Maybe it's more than race .I'm not sure. My opinion is humans no matter there color find a reason to hate .probably all stems form fear ,anger stems from fear .just a thought.
Just because you acknowledge the hatred that POC get doesn’t make yours any less valid. Less Oppression olympics and more compassion.
Human nature is to avoid what's different, however most of it appears to be from previous experences.
@@CutieZalbu POC? Hatred for minorities and hatred for what's different happens all over the world. It's not just here and it's not just limited to how one race treats the others. You see it in how people who like one movie genre don't get along with people who prefer a different genre, in how there are the different groups of people in schools, and how people treat each other when they have different favorite teams.
Yeah it's more than race, the government will limit your rights for pretty much anyway you are different, mental diseases, handicapped, different gender, race, basically anything attributed to being different
@The Petra Slab The way the world is today, I hate a lot more than I did pre-Covid. I’m sick of people twisting facts because it hurts their feelings, America has become a soft country where the straight losers have the largest voice, probably because there’s so many losers here. Those people talk about not being racist and all inclusive, but turn around and say they hate all cop (and they’re the first to say call the cops in their little tiffs 😂)
I'm genuinely curious how I perpetuate this if I'm a broke white man who does everything in my power to live a normal life and treat everyone the same?

Generalizing a race with a negative term like the word “Karen” is racist.

As an interracial POC, I've had more issues with other POC than with white people. Other MOC would try to act all macho and aggressive around me, Asians would call me a coconut or banana (I don't even like white people or fit the description of a walking stereotype, plus, my skin tone is brown, not yellow.), they always wrongfully accuse others of racism, ship me with white people, and despite trying to get darker through tanning, right after that, they would start fetishing fair-skinned blonde girls. They even hate on other minorities and try to convince others that they're of European descent. They've created so many more problems of their own, then blame it on others and play the victim card. Instead of running around like the Titanic making their family names sink, those people should just play by the rules, not do bad things, leave other POC and White people alone, and start being productive instead of complaining about "Systemic Racism". 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒
Thank you! We need more people like you to speak up and expose this false narrative that people are creating! I believe systemic racism and white supremacy existed in the days of slavery and segregation but not today.

Weird the image for the vid. Showing percentages of wealth. What is the percentage of race in america?
People aren’t buying this stuff folks. In the country that exists because it is made up of diversity. I, as an American embrace the present by learning from the past and anticipating the future. It’s what makes America, America. Victimhood benefits no one. America is the most diverse country in the world. People that promote this tripe ARE the minority. We are ALL equal. We all bleed the same color. We are ALL The same color inside. What makes us different is our character. I am more concerned about the color of ones heart than I am about the color of their skin. And I think the vast majority of Americans think the same.
brazil is more diverse. also many asian and african countries have more ethnic groups than usa, some with no clear majority
Your white supremacist and your white privilege is showing. You are literally a walking contradiction 😂🤦🏾♀️
We are all equal now for the most part but this country was built on and started on racism you can’t start one race at such a disadvantage and expect them to be just fine 100 years later Idk what the solution is but I think more people need to understand that yes we’re equal now but black people as a whole could be in a much better position if not for 400 years of slavery and many years of segregation

This video is insane!!!!! Where did they get this info from?
working environments, census look up the people working for government or medical not like nurses but actually being a surgeon
Mostly from biased and superficial papers. Not every study that is published is necessarily of quality and that’s extremely important to remember in the modern era. That’s why they do certain intellectually dishonest things here such as labeling Latino/Hispanics in a group of their own, despite most being racially white in the US, not including anything to determine hours worked per week or occupation, not including levels of education or training, and completely excluding Asian Americans from the discussion.
The reason being for all of these intellectual dishonesty is that they don’t paint a picture of a systemically racist system. Indeed, there are inequalities from our system, but race is evidently not a determining factor
Oh I agree, great video! I'm so ashamed of myself! I think I'm going to give everything I have, my house, my dog and my two cars, to some poor Black family in Chicago, and then afterward I should commit suicide! I don't deserve to live because I'm just an evil White man! Oh god! I'm so ashamed!

That is why empirical data statistically verifiable is not needed to accept the premise of systemic racism. Askings for data/evidence is racist. It's a version of what is called a fallacy trap.

Why is this happening?
@@icon2535 In the 1960's, the rate of black single-motherhood was about 40%. Today, it's roughly 70%. I believe this is due to the incentivization by Democrat policies to keep black mothers... single. How? Democrat policies generally include welfare payouts to black and minority families. But those same families lose their payouts, or have them reduced, if a father is present in the home. This policy directly incentivizes black women to keep the father out of the family structure. Why? To remain in power. Democrats want people to keep voting Democrat by offering them money in the form of welfare benefits. Without a father in the family structure, it all but guarantees the mother becomes dependent on the financial resources of the state, so she keeps voting Democrat.

Which laws in particular are racist?
The reasons we see these outcomes are because of barriers put in place in the past. Those barriers aren't in place anymore. The outcomes we see today may be effected by the past but it's not the responsibility of society to force equal outcomes, even if the unequal outcomes exist because of previous injustices. It's on each individual to make the most of the hand they were dealt.
the barriers were just put in other places tho.
