who would like to see me do a full video on George Washington Carver? I only talked about one of the hundreds of good things he has done for our world.
I understand this video will most likely be taken the wrong way because a lot of people haven't been too happy with me as of late. Just please don't take the least charitable interpretation
6:27 I'm not saying systemic racism is or isn't real, I just think the example she gave isn't.
8:04 this could be taken the wrong way, I think black history should be shown throughout the year and not all lumped into one month. I don't think black history month was made to make black people feel more comfortable but the example she gave for white people just didn't work.
Yes 😌
Also yes black history is every month, So is white history and hispanic history and asian history and pacific islander history and lgbt history!
not me
Sure I'd be interested in it
@White Gun the peanut guy
@White Gun Bruuuuh are you serious?
We are being lectured to about racism and slavery, by an alien who was still loyal to her owner for thousands of years after she was supposedly set free.
That's because pearl is a simp. (........and i now feel dirty for using that crappy thing.)
Pearl managed to be worse than Dobby.
@@d.tsukuyomi1869 Dobby is a goat
damn the shade there
@@johnmcswag5980 Dobby is a dead goat
Don’t forget the gems were on earth during slavery and didn’t do anything about it and pearl was racist towards humans for most of the show
Imagine if Pearl owned slaves, the irony.
Pearl is kind of the worst isn't she
Oof
Yeah...but I feel like that's because the Gems(even the crystal gems) didn't pay much attention to what humans were doing most of the time. Plus thousands and thousands of years for us probably feels like SECONDs maybe DAYS to them from a time standpoint since they don't age.
I don't think it racist since Peral isnt human. Let's just go with prejudice.
Pearl honestly is the dumbest choice for talking about slavery or Black people, for one thing she’s a slave who was literally obsessed with her Mistress to where it’s still creepy on top of her hating humans for most of her existence and two: Garnet is actually based on Hip Hop fashion and Black culture in general so she’d be more appropriate in talking about Black humans
Garnet already did that for another anti-racist psa
@@wolfenden9805 don’t be racist. CUT!!!
@Unojhiir0 I edited my comment to make it better
Yeah but ppl may take that as “ Oh only the blacks are pressed about these made up “”racial issues”” “ and that wouldn’t be good either
they probably thought they were doing something, it's the only logical thing I could think of when thinking about why they chose Pearl
Bro are we finna forget that the gems basically just sat back and let slavery happen SO PEARL SHOULDN'T EVEN BE TALKING.
Exactly like Pearl hated humans pretty much her entire life and all of a sudden she angry at people for not taking about the real creator of the light bulb plus weren’t gems colonizers that committed planetary genocide 💀
Tbf by the time they that started happening they were only 4 in the group they look like WOMAN
Not to mention, the gems DESTROYED and COLONIZED many worlds before hand, and were practicing slavery amongst themselves. Pearl herself was a slave with Stockholm syndrome.
And at the end of it all, Steven forgives the three lesbian space rock nazis, because "it's coo, gang! We family n sheit".
And pearl herself was, and most likely is an elitist twXt who views humans as lesser than gems, and not once do I recall her ever apologising for it, so she has NO say in the matter of human prejudice.
@@nezumixp6744 i think it has more to do with the fact that Pearl had a thing against humans bc of all the humans Rose loved since she loved Rose-
And maybe she didnt even bother humans enough to knw and she only rlly learned abt our history from books after Steven was born-

They need to stop milking Steven universe.
they need to stop making propaganda.
Admittly, if this show is over then they should stop doing more and more of these things and let it end there unless there’s more.
Gumball does something similar, but everyone is unsure if they are going to continue that or not.
I don’t mind a psa. But it’s done in a way you can’t make it only for 2 minutes. Most kids/people wouldn’t pay attention. Thus ending it being poorly done, makes you wonder why they never did this in the actual show. 🤔
Honestly

Oh, the irony of her saying "ask yourself when you're learning history: who's telling the story?" while getting most of the "facts" wrong because who wrote the script didn't bother checking their accuracy.
or they intentionally left out the sneaky details. A lot of this could be projecting.
It's also ironic how for thousands of years she supported a lie and wants to call out others for not telling the truth and yeah this script really is just garbage
@@joshuavillarreal1903 genuinely. Even if she was forced to comply via programming, she still could have made more of an effort to tell everyone before she did.
@@Yipper64 yeah it literally took stuffing Steven inside of her Russian nest doll ass head space for her to even spill the beans
It's true to her character. Telling 'all' the things that happened and leaving out the other important parts like the Rose/PD part
“Was this modified to make white readers more comfortable?”
As a white guy, I don’t think I’ve ever been uncomfortable with learning about different races. In fact it can be more interesting, atleast to me
I'm white too and I find learning about different races as good for the brain.
Honestly, the only time history or fact is uncomfortable is when it doesn't agree with your view points or its unsettling / disturbing.
Sometimes, theres stuff you didn't need to know and 100% didn't want to know.
Learning about other races and cultures is fun!
What isn’t fun is being lectured about how people that look like you did bad things in the past, and apparently they are the ONLY ones to do bad stuff, which means you should personally feel guilty and have to make up for how they treated other people’s ancestors.
@@eldestdragon5766 faccs
As a white person, learning about the messed up stuff white people did does make me uncomfortable. But obviously, it's important to learn about, so I still read about it.
In my honest opinion, I just feel that the PSA is bad because of how they inform the message in the worst way. And with the background of the Crystals, they would be one of the last characters I would not use to present a PSA message (I would have done a classic character like He-Man or Static Shock). The historical accuracy was also worse as I felt it was more on forcing the agenda than fact-checking the real events. I think it has done better with the video, but the biased "education" about "stereotyping" (which is a good thing to have when done right like RDR2, Skullgirls, even the classic Care Bears).
Overall, I like this video because of how it shows how to not do a PSA when it does not have a clear message and not finished their homework.
@@jj_colombia97 Exactly and Static would have been a perfect use since the character has experienced it and feel more of a connection.
@@CEWinick way you asking cartoon network to do that. They never once mention OK Ko during the past mouths when they were talking about racism. You know their only show created by a black guy (not counting Boondocks as thats adult swim).
@@teddyfilli3079 What about Andre 3000?
Static Shock would have been perfect considering they had an episode about, and they handled a lot better than this.
@@teddyfilli3079
Yeah I no longer take Ok KO seriously after that whole “Skeleton Remote” episode... Which dude, talk about one sided bs... That episode made all characters even the smart ones look like over the top idiots... Also not to mention in a world where all characters have super powers and weapons attached to them, not to mention that they sell weaponry basically everywhere and there millions ways to kill each other (not to mention it is often encourage so you can level up). That episode was just as bad as this PSA.

I love how gems are thousands of years old, “seen everything” human related, and are historically inaccurate.
not to mention, this doesnt really line up with the lore. You cant just assume the SU universe is the exact same as our own because CHINA IS A FREAKING CRATER. That would have massive effects on history. Not to mention the gems being there in general would change things. Did the crystal gems do nothing about slavery? You'd think that Rose being so infatuated with humans would see it and think "yeah thats not cool, we need to step in" but no.
The world of SU isnt the same is ours
Okay, if we’re gonna go about different universes fine. The gems not living on the same universe as ours, making psa’s aimed at *us* based on *their* reality’s history, doesn't make a lick of sense.
@@Floralian most of us think they are stupid i meant jt as a joke

Improve doesn't equal invent.

@@jonathanalcindor626 yes 12 is just the number like that one convicted felon's song age is just a number
Yeah, it would be hard to attribute most inventions to a singular person, definitively. Its possible to attribute certain things to certain inventors, but its kind of like how you attribute films to their directors. Multiple people work on just about anything and so, there's multiple people who contributed to these things. Some of those people are black. Who'd have thunk?

Pearl:You're racist and slavery is bad.
And gems were different species-ist against the lifeforms of planets they invaded,rounded up humans and put them in a zoo,had many levels of slavery since their beginnings,and Pearl was literally species-ist against humans for a good chunk of the series.
So not only is your info wrong,but you're one of the worst options to be lecturing anybody.
And let's not forget that amethyst tried to gaslight Greg
Also she technically just ignored the slave trade
And had human zoos
Well they didn't abuse, perform human experiments or torture humans at the zoo.
It's almost as if using cartoon characters is a shitty way of getting a message out to kids

I got another issue with this PSA. Does anybody else feel like Pearl's lecture is like, extremely out of character? Pearl was never really one to care about human affairs, let alone the struggles of a specific race of people.
I can see why Pearl would be passionate about slavery to a degree, since she herself was a slave once on Homeworld, but all this "woke" anger about black historical figures not being talked about enough in schools? I don't know; I call bullshit.
Pearl was always *extremely* dismissive of humanity altogether; she loved the Earth, but she thought humans were silly, frivolous creatures.
I mean this is also what made her extremely funny. She had such scathing comments on humanity.
"Humans find such fascinating ways to waste their time"
"Humans just live short, boring, insignificant lives so they make up stories to feel like they're a part of something bigger."
Yes, she's had character development since then, but we're still basically mayflies to Pearl. Think about how we look at mayflies. It might be fun to study them a bit, but unless you find someone who's _really_ devoted, most people don't really find it all that relevant to get super involved with their "personal" lives.
I find it slightly out of character. Pearl was always one to value culture and history, yeah mostly of the gems, but in this instance that would appear to extent to humans. And the idea seems to be that these PSAs are outside the show but set in the same universe, so maybe Pearl's character in the show is dismissive of humans, but in the PSAs she can be her true self who isn't dismissive of humans. I honestly dont know, or really care, about the specifics.
I disagree sence pearl is a BIG NERD for history
She’s a big bitch in this PSA
Pearl being dismissive of humanity is what I hated about her. Also, if she should teach a class of children anything, it should be about the fucking gem war.
Don't blame Pearl. CN is using their power to force her into these PSAs. Honestly, they feel insulting yo the cast and show itself. Dove's Body Positively messages were so much better since self esteem and body positivity were actual great concepts that Steven Universe explored.
Of course, in the WOKEST YEAR WITH ALL THIS RACIAL TENSION, of course the CN would put something out like this.
I have nothing against black justice and history, but we are at a point in society where black people are just...people. They have become just as important as ALL people. There is no need to dedicate SPECIFIC time to celebrating Black history or protesting black justice when you can be doing that ALL THE TIME.
I understand the BLM matter or last year and I am a supporter of it (well, the peaceful protests, that is.) But black history does not need to be condescendingly forced onto others and shame them got "not caring about the cause."
ALL PEOPLE MATTER. Black history is just history. It needs not a specific denotation.
We don't really learn about black cowboys because we aren't taught much about the pony express at all.
It was a very very small window in history.
Hell I didn't even learn much about cowboys in general, I barely even saw movies about them.
thats your experience, but i learned about the wild west era and didn't learn a thing about black cowboys. A lot of time black history is heavily skimmed over, man.
@The one and only oof
"there were black rome gladiators, black medieval knights" technically yes, they were also slaves force to be gladiators and the black medieval knights is technically true but, there were some mix or foreing heritage, also very hipocritical for them to say "tell the whole history" but completely ignore the fact that the people selling slaves to americans were african mostly and also the black slave owners
The ancient Romans & Medieval Europe called Mediterranean & Middle Eastern black & burn face not the Central/Southern African. That is a misnomer in history.
The life of a slave in Africa was better then a slave in the Americas.
The white Americans used natives before enslaving black people, you want to hear something awful, when the natives started fighting back, there were some Christian converted natives who the church decided to put on a deserted island to die of starvation solely because of their race. Christian religion my ass
I hate when people say Africans traded other Africans as slaves it's such an ignorant statement. Not because its untrue but because Africa is not one people! It is a continent made up of different countries made up of different states and tribes. And like any other continent there are enemies within the continent. That's like blaming the Chinese for being killed by the Japanese because they're both Asian countries. Severely ignorant. Slaves were likely being sold by enemy tribes and countries. If British people start killing Americans you can't blame all of Europe. It's ridiculous and obtuse.
@@thomasthomas3812 it just easier to say africa then made-up of different rival tribes each one wanted to conquered these other. Same thing happened to naive american but they were more like nomadic tribes that consciously on the move do to the change of weather! Europeans trade weapons & tools with those tribes and the tribes find an opportunity to get rid of their rival.
Still find it ironic that Pearl call out Americans for their "incomplete history" when she kept it quiet that Rose was Pink Diamond (a.k.a. the main reason for the gem wars). Granted, Pink told her to keep it secret and Pearl was (kinda) going through alexithymia, but still...
Pearls are literally programmed to do anything their master says.
Well Pearl physically could not have told anyone about rose being pink diamond. it was a diamond order, and she was physically programmed not to say it. But yeah still ironic.
Could you elaborate on Pearl kind of experiencing alexithymia?
She was only following her Massa's Wishes.
I geast the problem is that roze couldnt free pearl bc of the place and time but after the war was over roze just let the others do what they wanted to but she forgot how to teach pearl to be free so pearl just follow her like always just this time roze treated her as a friend
This PSA is the definition of a "Bruh Moment"

Not even that. They just consider stuff they believe will be offensive for minors without even thinking about how the minors feel about it.
I remember, they complained about Speedy Gonzales but most Hispanic were like "Why are you attacking my man!" I was so annoyed. Like, bro. He's not hurting anybody. Leave my homie alone!
@@scp--297 I couldn't agree more. People need to stop being offended on behalf of others, because most of the time, it's not needed
Just goes to show that CN would use their characters as pawns to sell the message "WE'RE WOKE" to people. Making Pearl talk about racism isn't gonna make me want to watch TTG, CN. Just stick to cartoons
Blame corporate stupidity/propaganda
Not talking about black cowboys is a crime
but being racist towards humans for 1000s of years is fine? ok pearl....
Another reason I don't buy the gems being "sorry" is that they've existed for eons, them stopping after Steven told them so it's kinda like being a brutal Ted Bundy, but then deciding to not kill anyone for a minute. You still have a fucked up trail behind you and you are in no position to teach.
DID SHE REALLY FORGET MY BOY NIKOLA TESLA THE PERFECTER OF THE LIGHTBULB
Nikola Tesla does not deserve this disrespect.
This is so true!
Yea she did
Mind you this is the same show that tries to make literal space Nazi’s sympathetic
Not only did the show tried making the diamonds sympathetic they were also redeemed.
@@Slyest4255 My question is what are the gems supposed to do now. I mean yeah from our perspective they were bad because they were trying to hurt the earth but why did they have to stop literally everything on every planet? Are they just suppose to let their species die out?
Right! Like bro, you don't even get to sit nor get to say a word at the table.
They literally redeemed the Space Hitler Trio and yet they still act like Pink is irredeemable
I never have and never will see the diamonds as "redeemed". They were only saying that they would change to be on good terms with Steven, which didn't even work, as he was still doubtful of them.
Tbh I think this PSA is worse. The last one was at least funny and had its heart in the right place. This one is just annoying and even spreads misinformation.
Facts
The recent one, although better, missed a TON of marks as:
1. Kids won’t understand the language and vocabulary they used in the video.
2. They’re acting so one-sided with the “color-blindness” debate that it comes off as incredibly harmful. I won’t get into it here. Check my Instagram stories marked “impotant”. (Use this link that’ll lead you to my profile instagram.com/p/CLaE14zlpNu/?igshid=1kmiwpdrov4rs)
Btw, MLK would shake his head at the PSA’s message of “seeing color”
As much as I love Steven Universe but these PSAs are awful
Just goes to show that CN would use their characters as pawns to sell the message "WE'RE WOKE" to people. Making Pearl talk about racism isn't gonna make me want to watch TTG, CN. Just stick to cartoons
I liked Steven Universe at one point, but after Change Your Mind they failed to deliver, and all that was left was the parts i dont like. And thats all there is now in these PSAs. just a concentration of everything i didnt like about the show itself, where anything i did like has long been gone. Thats what these PSAs are.
These PSAs are really testing my patience
Cringe ass worthy!
Pearl mentions black knights as if there was a lot of them that did super important things in history. The only black knight I’ve ever heard of was the one you mentioned in this video about Arthurian legend which is debatable about how real it actually was. If there was any black knights they legitimately where few and far between and didn’t do anything significant enough to distinguish themselves.
Also unlike Pearl at least you sited what she could have been referring to when talking about black knights. That just can’t be mentioned without context because knights where specifically a European thing which very very few black people lived in during the time of knights. Hell I’m pretty sure you could be mistaken for none existing in Europe during that time for how little of an impact they actually had during the era of knights.
@@CanonOverseer European knights that fight for lords and kings, crusaders, that sort of thing. Very very VERY few black people even existed in Europe around the time of kings and castles and feudal systems.
@@CanonOverseer is not that hard or any other way to misinterpret knight just your bullshitting it.....
Well, it is worth mentioning to a degree. It is something that can be used on a story in a medieval setting if the author is not a complete moron like most PC writers are. You can have diversity whitout it feeling absurd if you take a real life event as a reference and build on it in a way that feel like something that could have happened(for example, an Italian guy in china is stupid unless you give him a background remineshent of Marco Polo).
It become idiotic when some historical exceptional even is used as an excuse to claim that every show set in the middle age need a black knight even if it's absurd for the speciphic time and place and if you don't put one you are a clansman.
The thing that really annoy me about the diversity crowd is that they could make it not forced by actually putting effort into research, but they usually do not.
@@noukan42 Yup you can create stories or worlds like that but you must give a good background story of why that character is in that time period. Like they sailed over, travelled, captured, raised there, or they are a time traveler.
And in the Arthurian Legend its mentioned that his armor was black not the man himself
SU-PSA 1: DAS WACIST!
SU-PSA 2: That is scientifically inaccurate as well as somewhat demeaning towards a specific ethnicity.
SU-PSA 3: Focus on race, its literally their most important trait and act accordingly to it, especially if its darker because it makes them victims. I'm not kidding, that is literally the message.
I call dibs that they'll make another PSA involving Amethyst.
EDIT: Welp, I was right!
I'm pretty sure they will
if they do that, and they *dont* make a PSA involving Connie, ill be both glad and disappointed. But also, it would just subtly further reveal the true intent behind these garbage PSAs. Because the idea clearly is to take beloved children's characters and spout propaganda from them. If they dont use Connie, their most prominent female of color (in canon) then that would just go to show that they dont really care about that at all, instead they only care about using the most recognizable characters in the show.
Also Pearl left out the other Black Crystal Gem - Concrete. These history books are incomplete.
And then a last one with Steven.
They did but it was a child(about 7 years old) talking about racism
I thinks it’s ironic that Pearl is teaching us about “Not the whole story”. When she told a false story for the gem war for thousands of years
I feel like history should be more "widen". For example, when we talk about the civil rights movement, we only think about Black people and woman.
Maybe mention the green movement if you wanna add a little more flavor but no one talks about the Hispanic or Asian movements that were happening at the same time or the LGBT community at the time either. No one talks about the Native Americans unless it's near Thanksgiving or someone brought it up.
History is messy, overlaps and has many point of view that have to be cut if you want to fit it into an hour and 30 minutes.
However, I am also painfully aware that most people do not care. If they don't need to know then they won't know.
Most people just want it to be simple and fast. They don't care unless they are in those groups or have a passion for history. We should try to be inclusive and correct but that's honestly up to the educational system. Sure, some people want to blame the teachers but they don't control the those final test and most don't want their paychecks docked.
i agree! We need to focus more on important movements in general! as a member of the lgbt community its impressive how much i had no idea about in my own history, and how much it would have helped to know!!!
So then YOU TALK ABOUT IT. Don’t even in life try to overshadow something that many ppl lost their lives fighting for . It’s the disrespect for me. Look up Fred Hampton, and look at what he fought for. Then figure out who and WHY he was murdered. You ppl have been doing this for too long, trying to deflect, and keep black ppl quiet from speaking up about what BLACK ppl have been fighting for for decades. It’s very disgusting. Lack ppl have fought with and for others, for the longest… just for ppl like you to write a long paragraph of deflection on social media. This is why black ppl lean more towards our own anyways. You can’t even be mad about it. No one’s ever not acknowledged other injustices for other POC. Especially black ppl.
@@wowzabubby4872 so the black civil rights movement isn’t “more important”. I’m not even surprised anymore at the lack of understanding, and empathy towards black ppl in this country. You should ask yourself WHY has it been this long, that black ppl STILL have to protest about the same things they’ve been fighting about and for since the beginning of time.
"BLACK AFRICANS" I'M DEAD
I mean technically there is white Africans in South Africa but again, Exceptions don’t constitute as the general. A weak car can be strong for a moment but we don’t then declare “It is strong!” So generally Africa is mostly black.
@@Predator20357 I'm dead mainly because the way jar said "BLACK AFRICANS" made it seem like all black people are African, when no not every single black person is from Africa or have ancestors from Africa.

Hearing pearls voice giving me a PSA on slavery and racism makes me incredibly uncomfortable for no apparent reason
In 2014, when I loved Pearl, I would have never imagined such a dark future...
I used to like SU because it was woke, but in a non-obnoxious way. Then they began to be morally disgusting, then they rushed character development for awful characters that just say "sorry" and then it's all forgiven... and now this crap that is straight out of twitter.
The US was settled and controlled, chiefly, by Britain initially, which is where their laws and culture came from, which then ties back to focus on European history, which is almost exclusively white oriented because that is who live and constitutes the majority population in Europe.
Fun fact: the first black fighter pilot was in France born in America and wanted to be a boxer.
Sweet
Next PSA Vid Pearl comes out as a homophobic gay
Or Steven coming out as a polygamists
pearl voted donal drumpft and thinks my kind should go back where we came
*angry banjo noises*
Put Pearl in a cell for brainwashing kids.
Can't wait for the 3 one where Amafist say's the N-word in front of a Group of children.
And say's that eney-one can say it.
I'd argue this is worse than the first one because at least the first one was funny in how nonsense and memeworthy it was.
Can’t wait for the Steven universe fans to get mad at you last time it was funny
There’s a reason why you don’t try to inform kids with a contrive political propaganda because it could encourage misunderstandings which can cause tension with others.
Like what's happening right now? Also didn't King of the Hill did something similar with Bobby?
@@Saltedroastedcaramel if you mean that time when Bobby misinterpret John Redcorn heritage at thanksgiving, and shaming his own ancestry while taking bare minimum understanding of it then yes.
@@milliondoller06 Yeah that thanksgiving episode
Wait, the show wasn't cancelled. It just ended! You know, like shows do. It came to an end, it told the whole story. It's finished.
PSA: Pearl Misses the Point
PSA: Pearl only cares about Black People.
What about every other ethnic or racial group who history neglects? Why you singling out the Blacks, PEARL?
Her nose though fam
This PSA is pretty bad imo. It's ridiculous that they posit racism as the only reason we don't hear about Lewis Latimer. I'm pretty sure that many people know who invented the first working telephone, airplane, or automobile. But how many people can name every single person who made improvements upon the original design? Pretty much every invention we use today has gone through hundreds or thousands of iterations. If kids are required to learn about Latimer as well as Edison why stop there? I'm sure many other people contributed to the design of the lightbulb. Will they get a mention as well? And if kids are required to learn about significant improvements for every major invention that's going to eat up a lot of class time. Also particularly egregious is the insinuation that white readers would feel uncomfortable learning about a black inventor. This seems like a classic example of projection, honestly. I'm not denying that Mr. Latimer's contributions are important. Quite the contrary. But the push to have Latimer included just seems like an attempt to shoehorn more black faces into the history books because black people are feeling inadequate. Also, I haven't watched Cartoon Network since I was a kid, so I have no idea who this character is, but I have to wonder: is she normally this abhorrent? As if the message itself wasn't bad enough, her angry, strident, lecturing tone made it absolutely unbearable.
As much as I love Steven universe, no, just no. Steven Universe doesn’t need to get political. It has its own message that is just being twisted into something political. Also gems were space nazis that kept humans in a zoo! They have no right to talk about racism unless they are being apologetic about it. I can’t believe they used pearl like this. SMH.
Lmao you spitting facts
Finally, a SU fan that doesn't make excuses and simply recognizes when something is wrong.
This comment deserved a high pedestal of this video
I'm a fan too, but this ain't it chief. Black History Month episodes were less obnoxious than this
Honestly I feel tired of woke ness I support blm but I don’t want to hear every day I’m a bad person because of my race
I relate.
but blm is one of the fuel of that thinking? if not actively separating black comunities...
what if you support that black lives matter...but not the movement? (like you CARE about black people suffering...without following this nincompoops, or you "hate" aminals jsut because you dont like PETA?)
When someone mention police brutality the first thing it came to my mind wasenr black ppl geting but a police officer who shot a dog 3 times in the head
Oh better not hear you say that... You will be labeled a racists... This stop being about making people aware of racism, this something that feels evil or with evil intention
@@bernardotorres5274 i don’t think white supremacist should produce merch or gather in groups and should be shown that people are better than that their wild depiction
Those PSA's are just unecessary
Yeah. We are in the middle of a pandemic, i dont think we need cartoon characters from a dead show ranting about identity politics.
@@Yipper64 did you miss the whole blm movement, ts still and always will be important to learn about black rights and how we can help.
@@wowzabubby4872 oh i sure didnt miss businesses being torn down for no reason when they are already struggling, yeah. Dont see how you consider that important.
@@Yipper64 the fact is the loud 'scary' protests have been historically the only thing that works for the government, look at stonewall for instance. Im confused as to why you find businesses more important than humans being killed but go off ig
@@wowzabubby4872 we arent cavemen.
What i don't get is why it's ALWAYS black vs white debates... they never bring up any other race.... Seriously wtf...
George Washington Carver is severely underrated.
A agricultural genius that did much much more than inventing a kind of peanut butter that was already created. .
Why everything has to be about race
There where scientists from every race and still till this day
Plus Pearl talking about racism is Cursed af
because POC have been oppressed for a very long time, and if we want to fix that we need to learn about how they are.
@@wowzabubby4872 but why they used Steven universe for this it's soo weird
I remember watching black History with Kevin heart and it was much better
@@DD-hx8td I somewhat get your point, but i think the intent of using cartoon characters is that kids are more attached to them! so they're more likely to listen to the psa's ykno? cartoons have been used for psa's for a really long time :)

Got into a smal argument with one of my friends becouse he was upset over the fact that the history known of the "first black samurai" is incomplete. I told him the obvious: everything back than dependet on writing things down. OBVIOUSLY you can't find everything about him! There are samurais who you can find even less about! An incomplete story has nothing to do with his race xD If anything, him beeing black is the reason we have so much information about him in the first place.
When people complain about these lectures, they say, "Uh, haven't you watched a cartoon from the 80s?" to which I say, "Yes, and that was something I make fun of too."
Art asks you questions. Propaganda gives you answers.
I'd argue that art often attempts to provide answers, but usually not in such a ham-fisted way.
@@tigerfestivals5137 art suggests answers. Propaganda tells you answers
"These textbooks are incomplete!"
_Impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete_
It's racist to hold black people on a pedestal it's racist to look down upon them. treat black people just like you would treat any other person. simple
Wouldn’t it make more sense if they had Cartoon Network characters who were actually black star in these? They’re just doing this show because it’s popular.
If they were doing a popular show it would be Teen Titans Go. Steven Universe is only popular with Tumblr.
@@Yipper64 Is tumblr even popular anymore?
And let’s be real, Steven Universe... I guess was popular, see it’s over. It only takes a small search on most sites to see it pop up and get a variety of opinions on it(good and bad).
@@hiddenflare6169 if it was popular, they would have shown the show more often. They hardly ever aired it, so it cant be very popular. It is divisive? Yeah. But that doesnt mean its popular.
@@Yipper64 The Network doesn’t decide what’s popular, the people do! Gumball and adventure time were also popular but did not air as much as a certain other show. Guess they aren’t popular.
You should use a different matter of judging popularity besides what a network would put up, as that would not show what is exactly popular due to the possibility of the network not listening to its fans.
@@hiddenflare6169 Adventure time was on all the time before TTG came along, and gumball is pretty much the only other show that airs aside from TTG.
Maybe the people decide whats popular, but popular shows usually get a lot of viewership, if a show gets a lot of viewership, the network airs it more often.
Steven Universe had always been one of the least aired shows of any show out there.
I made an essay about Lewis Latimer when I was in the 6th grade.
Pearl : (complains about slavery)
Also pearl : (was racist against humans and was around during slavery and didn't do anything about it)
Ps : to let you guys know I dont support slavery I'm just pointing out facts.
*"See you can Tell that's an ASIAN character Because we made her eyes not exist"*
Attributing the invention of the lightbulb to the person who invented the filament is like attributing it to the person who invented the glass. Important invention, yes, but they didn’t invent the lightbulb.
He invented the filament, which made the lightbulb efficient and actually usable for the general public. So he’s the reason the light bulb actually works affectively. She never said he invented it, she basically said he’s the reason it actually works correctly. And she’s not wrong.
Well yeah, that could be said of literally each individual part of any device in history. That’s akin to crediting the invention of the Model T to the inventor of the piston or the wheel because it can’t operate without them. Sure, the aforementioned parts are important, but that doesn’t mean the people involved also took that knowledge a step further and created the automobile.
@@soulresonance4073 Hahaha... Oh he did not invent the filament, he improved its design, he still didn't 'invent' the lightbulb - so simple to actually research, also someone inventing a component for something does not mean they made the something
To me there PSAs have good intentions and messages but I think they need to stop jamming it down and start going more in depth about the topics
It’s about showing kids they should be Anti-Racist, they don’t have time to make a full episode of a canceled show and dedicate it to Black history
I call on anyone to name me three fighter pilots *without* looking them up. Don't worry, they can be white. I, myself, can't name *one* fighter pilot... because they didn't even teach us about any of them in school. Same for cowboys. Hell, I don't even think David Crockett was an actual cowboy, and I mention him because his was the only *real* name that comes to mind. Custer? No, *also* military. Yeah, I can't name a single cowboy and I don't think I was ever taught of one in school. Also: knights... can't name any real knights... not taught in schools.
*It's not important to know about individual knights, cowboys, or fighter pilots. Even if they ARE dark-skinned.*
That’s not the point, you’re taking away from the actual point of the video.
Do a George Washington Carver vid also what’s the link to the discord it ain’t on Patreon and every link in the UA-cam desc is invalid
Just like how Disney took credit for being the first to rotoscope and to produce the first cartoon with sound when it was actually Max Fleischer
There were Mexican cowboys back in the 60s, but no wants to talk about that for some reason.
I love this show to death but some of the things they do are kind of sketchy
When he said there were black samurai I thought of coryxkenshin
Has... Pearl not heard of the play Othello? The titular character was a General and a Moor (a Muslim ally to the Romans, who were black or Arab).
Kinda iffy cause on one hand, it's a tragedy of a black man being kept down by a white guy just for being a good general and having a smoking hot wife. On the other there's the "I'll reveal his savage nature to the world" part of Iago's plan
OverlySarcasticProduction was in this...I dont know if you watch them or just looked for a clip but I hope you do watch them
From what I see: good heart, poor thought put in.
Pretty much.
You know, the other one I could give a discount because the message was (reasonably good) only the execution was mediocre.
This one however, I don't even know what to say about this "thing".
Also look at pearl trying to shame americans for the mistakes of their past, mean while her race was populiciding and mundiciding everything left and right. So she and the racist writers can get off their high horses
She never shamed Americans for their past, if anything! She shamed Americans for not including black historical figures who made accomplishments in history. The fact that you’re so offended just shows that you’re okay with that kind of thing happening.
I just really hate the make slavery a black and white issue (literary). Many other civilizations and cultures had slaves and even traded their own people as slaves. In my case the Mayans had a big empire which they built off from slaves that they got either by wiping out smaller tribes/cities or directly trading with colonists for them (The Mayans were heck racists too back then). The worst part is that we see in other parts of the world (mainly some areas of the Middle East) slavery is still a thing, and nothing is done about it.
This is why I can’t stand this folk, because in all honesty their are very disingenuous folk (yes this history should be talk so we don’t repeat in the future) because they bitch and mown about issues of racism, and their solution is often to create more racism or worse just ignore it. Also it is disingenuous that they use Steven Universe for all this PSA, a show that has been heavily mistreated by CN, from barely showing it or even buried it under piles of reruns of Tern Titans Go, not to mention the diservice they did with the Steven Bombs stuff... For them to only now treated with respect after years of neglect also shows how scummy the people pushing it now really are.
Slavery IN AMERICA. Deflecting is very popular within this country. You know exactly what it means when slavery is even mentioned at all. My ancestors were enslaved HERE I. AMERICA. Not anywhere else. When you bring up this how “there were slaves everywhere, not just America” you’re literally excusing the fact that it happened, and that it never ended with just slavery. I guess we can forget about Jim Crow laws as well, and many more laws out in place to continue to make a certain race seem more superior than the other. I guess Africa was practicing these same Jim Crow laws as well. Not they were, it’s exactly how it was here in America. It’s funny because black ppl will support other injustices, and acknowledge the mistreatment of others. In return it’s always big “ F*** YOU” for black ppl though. Tough…
That's a disingenuous what aboutism when the conversation is about America specifically.
jar: "its not that bad."
also jar:*proceeds to pause the thing almost every 5 seconds to correct it.*
K
yeah. the title is confusing in that way. Is it clickbait?
Seriously? This is just as bad, Steven Universe should never do any PSA's ever!
if i could push a button that goes back in time and essentially changes it so that CN never agreed to let Sugar make a cartoon, id press that button. Steven Universe should have never existed in the first place.
I'd argue it's worse. The first one might have been bad just for being cringy, but with this one, they spread literal misinformation and make baseless assumptions.
It's annoying how they pick and choose who invented who like how they say a woman invented the dish washer but two dish washers were designed years prior
They’re actually saying it’s hard to say who invented what, and mention some minority inventors and people you could consider.
@@willhiggins9563 no.. they said he invented the filament
Your video was great but just to let u know my dude North africans aren't ethnically and historically arab they were berbers And i am a proude muslim berber anyway thanks for the Great video ❤❤❤🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Another episode of "what has gotten into you Rebecca?"
But we do learn about him if you go get a degree that requires you to know about him and his accomplishments with the filament. It’s almost like elementary to high school teach the general basics of things and when you go get a degree in something more specialized you learn more about the subject and the people involved. Just because these liberal arts and gender studies majors didn’t learn about any accomplishments after the general ones taught in the lower grades doesn’t mean they are not taught.
the messages are good but the execution is so bad
Not really
the problem with this PSA is the fact that they instead of saying: "hey you should treat black people and white people the SAME way" the only thing i understand is "hey look your friend is black you should treat him differently cuz his race has suffered too much in the past, even tho he has the same rights as you in the present" like they should teach kids how too treat others as EQUEALS, at the end we are all humans
JAR: name one scientists who worked on the rocket

Wasn't Bass Reeves a real life black cowboy who the Lone Ranger was based on?
Well, he might not have been the inspiration for the Lone Ranger, but he sure was real.
And he was very cool.
The entire video is dumb, but one of the dumbest and most tellingly ignorant parts is that the bulb filament they show is a loop style. Latimer's filament was in the Maxim "M" shape.
Weird how an alien teaches you and your classmates race's history
For a moment I thought Overly Sarcastic Productions and you were making a collab video. You got me there, JAR. XD
