      @@benj213 this comment makes me sad bc its an all too familiar way of dealing with issues that are uncomfortable. Racism is an important topic that shouldn't be swept under the rug. If ur tired of hearing about it then be part of the solution to end it. Js I've only recently really started to reflect on all the times my whiteness has worked for me whether intentional or not.lets day its made me realize systematic racism is a huge problem that millions of people don't have the luxury of just turning it off. Sorry not attacking but this is triggering for me as my mom is the worst about this. If she doesn't know about it then it's all good and right with the world.

Leaving them to learn life, credit, rent, money management and emotional/ mental health support on their own. We need to stop setting our children up for failure.

    My mind was on Erica Pratt earlier this year & I looked her up. Given her age at the time of her abduction & her escape, this child should've been hailed as a national hero; we should still be talking about her.
    The media spent maybe 24hrs covering her story & moved on. I don't even think the public was ever informed about the specifics of her capture, her captors/their consequences, & her life since the ordeal. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Smart had a book deal, countless interviews, hosted her own TV show, a TV movie about her life, etc. The media's bias is real.

    Great video. Piece of advice for later. We hear people say things like, "Black boys are 18 times more likely to be tried as an adult than white boys for the exact same crime." We hear things spoken of in a multiplicative way so often, it's kind of lost its impact. If you phrase it as, "For every one white boy tried as an adult, 18 black boys are tried as adults for the exact same crime" it has a much bigger impact or even, "For every 19 boys tried as adult, 18 are black and one is white."

      Not quite. You're falling for baseline fallacy. 18 times more likely =/= for every 1 x there are 18 y. Lets say that tall people are 18 times more likely to drive a honda than average sized people. There are 10 average sized people for every tall person. That would mean for every 28 people who drive hondas 18 would be tall and 10 would be average sized.

He was drinking underage driving his truck, with the cab and bed of the truck speeding at over 70mph in a 45. I think punishments should fit a crime if it can be proved. If you are still in high school you shouldn’t be tried as a adult unless the crime involves a murder or attempted murder.

    Wow this was deep and funny. Comedians play a vital role in society. Especially when they do it very cleverly like Chapelle always does.

      Cheppelle is deep and funny, the guy that made this video is a shallow idiot, who manage to take complex problems with a vast array of factors and make it "because racism", which instantly falls apart as an argument when these things are looked at in a broader context.
