When he said Asian moms do not put up with their children committing crimes. It used to be the same with Black Americans. I remember back in the 1960s and early 1970s that if a black kid did something wrong, the police did not arrest them, they took them home. Why? Because the police knew that their parents would punish them much harder than the courts would ever do. Back then, if anyone did something wrong, let alone a black kid, it disgraced the entire family. Black American families would NOT allow their children to disgrace the family or the family name. God forbid that a grandparent lived in the home or nearby. If so, the poor black kid would not be able to sit for a good week. Now days, it seems that black families embrace bad behavior in their children.
You're implying that black kids have "families". The real correlation is with fatherlessness and crime. In other demographics as well. Just turns out that black culture has a much higher percentage of fatherlessness. It's a culture problem, not a skin-color problem.
A teacher in Ontario Canada just leaked part of the new k to 6 "race matters" curriculum." Part of the cource is the concept of "Black Joy" . A feeling of pride joy and elation black people feel when standing up to authority and oppression . This may include crime. If white teachers are uncomfortable teaching this and other so called " facts" they must examine thier reasons for hidden bias and racism. In other words it's racist to expect black people to respect law and order. If it's here it's in the states too. Home school or a carefully chosen private school is getting to be the only way to get your kid to adulthood unindoctrinated by this ridiculous, devisive, race and identity ideology that ignores merit and glorifies victimhood. .
@@EuthanizePitbullsWhoa! Blacks DID have families.Back then, men and women had to be married to live together. Only then did they have kids. There wasn’t divorce or single parents before the 70s. All the issues you’re talking about are recent developments. to anyone reading : does this seem surprising or strange to you? please explain or give a 👍 if this is news .
What’s sad is we were sooooooooo much closer in the 90’s. Everyone agreed on MLK’s message. And MLK was a Christian - so that is not the message being sent today. The message before was clearly to become a “color blind” society. There were clothing brands like Cross Colours and it was a message based in love. Something happened after 9/11 to the people here. It’s like everyone was traumatized and now all there is in the world is a constant message or fear and death. When you kick God out of society within 2 generations a new lower-g god replaces Him. And that leads to open pagan idol worship and all that comes with that in the dark.
@@DFSLJCBecause instead of unity, certain people with a lot of sway in the media want revenge. Kendi's book about antiracism clearly lays out their goal. Their answer to racism in the past is racism in the present. The answer to racism in the present is racism in the future. It is literally calling for an apartheid state where everyone that isn't black is a 2nd class citizen.
I'm 40+ years old and I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear and see a young black man like yourself speaking the honest truth. I can't even express how heartbreaking it is to watch the decimation of the black community with this oppression ideology. The fact that we (blacks) are okay with tests being dumbed down for our children and them graduating from high school with a 4th grade reading level is absolutely appalling. Not even mentioning the inability to do BASIC math. This is essentially creating a race of dependence - and once you become dependent on someone else for your most basic needs in life you've delivered yourself back into a form of slavery.
If you do enough research you’ll find out that we were programmed this way through schools, TV Programs, music labels that hand pick specific artists, social media and every outlet where a corporation snuck poison into our food and we didn’t realize it was there. We have to undo it but only by looking at the real causes to the effects. Trust me the psychological research that the NSA , CIA, military and other intelligence agencies conduct has been misused over our community. We weren’t like this 60 years ago. What happened to black Wall Street? You think they stopped there? Dig deeper
But its NOT just Black children that are being dumbed down! It's ALL American children regardless of Race that are being turned into total moronic idiots! The ONLY ones NOT being turned into Radishes are the children well off enough to be in private schools or have parents with the ability to home school!
As a white dude in his 40s,I appreciate how open-minded and honest you are,and I am proud to share a country with you!! I hope God blesses you with all the greatness you deserve!!! Much love!
How'd you know god blesses him? How'd you know they're not rapists or murderers? Or does your god bless unrepentant murderers? Religious logic fails yet again!
@@jeffknott1975most failed logic ever. You are very angry and upset over something you don’t seem to believe in. I bet Green eggs and ham makes you piss your pants.
Thomas Sowell commented that back before affirmative action when someone saw a black man in a high position people assumed he was one of the smartest men in the room to achieve his position. After affirmative action everyone assumes that any black man in a high position is just an affirmative action hire who isn't really qualified.
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. He is one of the smartest men we have in this country. I wish his voice and wisdom were more widely accepted. My liberal friends refuse to acknowledge him.
Gen X white dude here. You are a smart young man. Keep up the good work. It’s refreshing to see kids like you use your brain for the good of all people. Nice job bro.
I am British and all I seem to hear from black Americans is, I'm a victim because of the colour of my skin. As well as all that I am a victim because of slavery as well, come on guys enough is enough.
We need to start by taking questions such as race, off college applications. There’s zero reason for them to know that. It should always be on merit and merit alone. That is the only way for fairness.
I agree. Just post everything by a student number, no names, not descriptions, no addresses, and no race info should be available to the descision makers.
one drop rule really is bad because it's like a big lie they think i have enough black culture around me to actually profit from black culture i don't have as much culture from any of the cultures to profit from those cultures because i'm too mixed..
If you are not close to retirement you most likely still have time to improve your lot young lady! I'm not saying becoming independently wealthy but you can improve your lot by quite a bit!
Then pass laws saying everyone must be treated the same as far as pay for the same job and same experience regardless of sex or color of their skin. That solves a chunk of the issue.
Those laws already exist, why do liberals keep trying to legislate for shit they already have....makes zero effin sense and is a waste of time.@@markski813
We had that nonsense for close to 40 years and I can tell you, it just became more divided, racially biased and everyone is poorer. Nothing good comes out of promoting one group over the over, in spite of meritocracy.
@@markski813 Your suggestion is not only NOT the solution but would cause other issues. what is the motivation to do a job if I can go somewhere else for higher pay. Or how about retention I spend decades in a career just to be told it is a dead end? why would I bother doing more than the minimum to keep the position? why would I bother showing the new guy anything? he makes the same as me he can figure it out. Forcing socialist concepts into the workplace is a bad idea. forcing them into the payroll ends the job and guess what companies would love your bad Idea to happen "I'm sorry, I would love to give you a pay raise, but it would be against the law to do so. It's not our fault blame the government for your low pay they made the law." The real problem is that influential people are creating division either due to ignorance of reality or deliberate deception because it gives them more control/power over those who believe the lie. there is no legal solution you cant legislate morality if you want society to exist. the best you can do is have a way to remove an immoral person from the role even then there is no guarantee since that process can be filled by others with equally questionable morals. we are seeing this play out in U.S. government today. We shall see if it can be corrected after being allowed to deteriorate to this level or if morality has been lost for too long.
MLK was 100% correct. Todays problem is that for too many people the "Content of their character" is inadequate and those people won't take accountability for that.
That’s how demonkkkratz work their magic, keep race baiting alive and keep them in power with empty promises. Watch been saying it for four years Reparations trick this time.

The way you speak about these topics shows that you work your tail off to see all sides. You are a very educated young man and I love watching your videos.
Sorry, dude, but it is WORSE. From 2006 through 2015, police in 52 of the nation’s largest cities failed to make an arrest in nearly 26,000 killings, according to a Washington Post analysis of homicide arrest data. In more than 18,600 of those cases, the victim was Black. Based on historical stats, 96% of those murderers were Black. And that is because of the lack of cooperation from the Black community. So when you adjust, some of those crime stats get even because all that is reported are arrests. Welcome to reality Jojo. Things are not what the left says they are. The right doesn't get it right all the time either. But the left is just delusional and uninformed.
Jojo is wrong, it’s not 3% that’s the issue, think about it, 1 øut of 3 blk małės wíll get løcked-up in theír lífetímes. Let me say that again, 1 out of every 3… and that’s usually not for pėtty crímė, the vast majoríty of that is for seríous/víolent crímes. This is a culturał íssue and it’s not a small probłem.
Lack of cooperation ? well evidently you don't know how the streets work, because if someone believes, or finds out you're a snitch, you would be next in line to be murdered !" moreover; where are all these guns coming from ? Authorities found a whole lot of guns in a black neighborhood in an alley, could they have been placed there for blacks to use to kill each other ? Yep !👍
@@GhostSal There is a case for being caught in the trap of their own society being harder to move away from than other societies although there is plenty of opportunity to do so, what is more worrying is the lack of willingness to put the effort in to get out of a hole not bothering with school and engaging in petty crime at a young age is a bad choice but still is a choice. I have made some bad choices in life and I blame myself for them because I made them, the biggest challenge for them is that they will be offered bad choices more often so they have try that bit harder. There are 2 million African American millionaires in the US most of which were impoverished or parents were impoverished but made it out of the ghetto and will never go back, these are the people young black Americans should be looking up to and want to replicate instead of the murdering rappers and gang members they respect so much. There has been so much finance and help injected into these communities over the years with little to no effect, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
@@GhostSalI find 1 out of 3 to be wrong since none of the Black Americans I associate with have been incarcerated for anything. Oh as a US Marine I work with all races. Even put my career on the line for a very important member of my unit since I am the godfather of his child. Race only matters in the civilian world. In the military it is few and far between racial incidents. Maybe one day civilians will understand this is a way to divide us and make it harder to have a more proper government that is governed by the people for the people rather than by some people for the rich.
It is nice to see, that there is a young black guy who is smart and not afraid to speak honestly. Thomas Sowell is a great man, but he is old. We need more people like you.
It’s so very refreshing to see a young black man who is mature, fair minded and accountable. My kind of people regardless of race. You will go far in life my friend and I hope you do. God bless.
I like the guy too, but I’m not sure he’s going to go far people like this are usually the ones being canceled one way or another. Got to love how our government loaded the Vaseline with sand before they screwed us!🤦🏻♂️
My husband worked for the city fixing signs, painting lines in the road and many other things required to maintain a city. A black guy he worked with would literally sit with his feet up on his desk doing nothing. Not until he decided to build a house in which he’d lunch in at work then go home and work on his house. He asked my husband, what did you do today. My husband said he worked his ass off. The guy said “yeah, I didn’t do a damn thing g and we both got paid the same”. They couldn’t fire him. Not even when he was caught building his house on the tax payers dime. He knew it. He could do whatever he wanted while everyone else had to do their jobs AND his. What a slap in the face. And there’s not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
Yup. I took a supervisory position at work recently. My trainer drummed into my head that one of the most important parts of my job was to prevent people from sneaking in and signing out early. Until the day I called the black guy out. The trainer freaked out on me and me "oh HE is allowed to sign it early." When I asked why she could not or would not answer me. Just repeated over and over that HE is allowed.
I had a friend who’s dad worked at GM as a manager. His dad said the same. Black union workers couldn’t get fired no matter what they did. His dad gave examples of things, I was shocked. They’d just laugh and say they be back tomorrow.
I appreciate you reviewing this with an open mind. I'm a 51 year British White Woman & I love all kinds of Music. Rap for me originally was Rage against the Machine, Prodigy etc. Then I stopped listening because it was all about - what a Stud I am - PA-lease! 🙄 Now in the last few years, I've got into Tom MacDonald - Love him. Proper Protest Rap. Charlie Kirk & others are right. Resentment is created - on both sides. For those who have worked hard - no meritocratic appreciation & sometimes, for other groups, de facto discrimination although the nice word 'affirmation' is used. I'm fed up. I grew up in the so called 'colour-blind' decades, in that it was about equality & behaviour. I never used the N word, I don't think like that - Now, since 2020, it seemed over-night people viewed me as a White Supremacist' or Racist & this can be thrown at you if you like Black Music, Pull someone up about their behaviour or even just quickly fill up a water bottle. Thanks to a Middle-Eastern 'Gentleman' on the bus whose behaviour I was complaining about, with his following accusation of racism, I literally said 'I do not give a F**k about the amount of melanin in your skin, this is about manners!' That is absolutely true! - I care if you're being an idiot to me or not. I had two white teens try to correct me when I said 'excuse me Guys' ( one was a girl) But when I grew up - it was just a generic term. I told them that they don't get to tell me what gender to use. I used to be a classical liberal now I'm more Conservative as I've now seen what the so-called 'progressives' are doing to the West as exampled even by former religious friends.
Yup, we are the color blind generation. Our parent's generation did a flip flop on us again and turned our children against us by bringing back THEIR racism.
Those terms are phonetically different but are synonymous in the end. They just choose(and often redefine) words that sound the best to the shallow minded.
Affirmative action gave advantages to minorities, but DIE actively tries to suppress white people. These people literally believe it ok to be racist against white people and promote bigotry because of white guilt psychos. Some of these white liberals call themselves colonizers and literally kiss the feet of minorities in protests in some sort of machoistic fetish.
Marxism is better at branding, just look at the name Black Lives Matter. The founders are admitted Marxists and they chose a name that if you disagree with their agenda they can easily call you a racist. That's why I say yes black lives do matter but the organization itself is garbage.
As a "mixed race" white woman and Choctaw Indian, I very much appreciate your intellect and not being afraid to say the truth. Yes atrocities have been done in the past especially to my people who were pushed off the land and forced onto reservations. There is not a person alive who has not been oppressed in some way at some time, especially women when black men could own property before women. But using what occurred in the past to stamp your foot and demand that everyone else coddle you and fix your problems, pull the race card and blame others for problems you could fix, is wrong regardless of what race you are. YOU have the power to fix or improve your life, whatever your circumstances. The problem is too many people have a sense of entitlement and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter, because it is easier to complain and blame other groups of people for the fact that they are where they are, than to put forth any effort to get into a better situation. That is the basis for the old saying of "Beggars can't be Choosers". If you expect anything and everything to be given to you, then don't complain about the crumbs you get. Get out there and make an effort and make a better life for yourself. That is exactly what I had to do working jobs and putting myself through school. Neither me nor any of my white friends had any "white privilege" at all while two of our wonderful black friends got full scholarships. I am happy for them, but don't you dare throw in my face that my success is white privledge. That is why I don't even list my Indian heritage or white heritage on any documents because it should not even be a factor. My merit is the only thing that should count.
Agree. If a person is waitng for someone else to fix their problems other than taking steps themselves, they will waste their life and be waiting a long time.
I'm white and because we were poor I couldn't afford to go to a college, certainly not live in a dorm! That was the height of 'rich living' in my view. I took out loans, worked through school which was in my hometown so I could live at home. I eventually earned my MBA and now earn 165k because I worked my ass off and feel intelligent, confident and worthy. I really worry that these handouts to Blacks are subconsciously making them feel less worthy and smart. They are just as capable of working as hard as anyone else to get where they want.
Yeah but according to some groups you still have ‘white privilege’ despite the truth and honest hardworking struggles of your life story. It’s all crazy.
I grew up poor too, and went to college under a grant. There was a part of the school (think a square atrium), that is 3 stories tall. In the first week, walking through there, you could see people getting pelted by things; food, pencils, water etc. The people doing it were a bunch of black kids, trying to see if they could nail people from the top floor. And I live in a largely Hispanic city...
Good job! O wish the thought process was taught to all poor white kids so we realize WE CAN be successful in life. But as a poor white kid with a learning disability that no one ever caught..i was not taught I could be anything. The system just turned against me and made me RESENT school and RESENT the rich. I wish I was brought up with YOUR SCRAPPING TO THE TOP. But another thing that hurts a kid is an absent father or a father who resents the child cuz they don't understand why one child is so smart and another NOT. Just many factors. And broken kids live broken lives and raise more broken kids. Just something to think about. Encourage your kids to embrace YOUR AWESOME MENTALITY!
My dad grew up in poverty and he was the pivotal generation in my family. He worked his ass off to get through school and pay for it himself. His mother never owned a home. They were evicted from many places. His father was a deadbeat. It all starts with someone changing their family dynamics, and it usually begins with a different view of the importance of an education. Education and majoring in something that gives you descent paying employment!
Exhibit A: In 2022, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs admitted that it has been discriminating against black veterans for decades in regard to disability benefits. Exhibit B: In 2023, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted that it has been discriminating against Black taxpayers.
The liberals will tell you, 'why study history there is no future in it" but a smart person will tell you, "that if you don't study and understand history you will be doomed to repeat it!"
When the term"African American"is used, it is racist.We are ALL just plain ole Americans. I am of European descent.But I don't say European American.I am classified as White. This young man has SO much going for him.Wish him the best in all he does. The term refers to a person who was BORN in Africa and then immigrated to America. Most who use the term loosely are BORN in America. This makes you an AMERICAN citizen,not a AA.
if you are born in africa, than you become a citizen of the us of a , then you are an African-American.... Edit: Elon Musk is the perfect example of African-American
People forget that colleges are a business. They provide a service "education" and produce a product "research and published materials". They operate solely on making a profit in these things. Professors are paid worse and pressed to publish lower quality faster and fitting an agenda that will sell.
I'm a heinz 57 mutt. Mostly European... most peoplewouldassumeim just white or some kind of Hispanic, but my great grandfather grew up on a reservation. My great great great grandfather was a white Spanish slave to the same tribe. He was one if the last slaves freed in north America, a white Spanish slave to native Americans.
I appreciate you bringing up what many may not realise, will not speak of if they do. In 1990s the school I attended had 4 scholarships 2 for black cultures and 2 open school in athletics. Coach pulled me aside and said he was putting my name in for one of the scholarships. Following week he pulled me aside to say not to cry but that the school had said I would have to ask my parents to pay $2500 for training cause of being white and they wanted the scholarships to go to black kids. He said you and I know it’s wrong but he couldn’t convince them to change their minds and his hands were tied. All 4 of the scholarships went to only the black students. All I could say was sorry coach, I can’t ask my parents for money we haven’t got. It’s a shame as I stopped running that day and those in athletics know when I say there’s a feeling of flying like a bird, feeling free that I have never been able to get since that day. It didn’t matter who ran faster, who turned up for every chance at training sessions. I was so dedicated I had attended every training- before school, recess, lunch, after school etc I even had trained at home with ropes tied around my waist until I was running with four old car tires bouncing along behind me. I had gotten to the point I barely would’ve needed to reach arm in a bent position to touch the shoulder of another student who had 2 years professional training. I was never bitter at the other students training or scholarships, most were friends, I still get that crushed feeling at the memory of losing an opportunity because the school couldn’t see past me being white though after all these years.
The problem is absent fathers, that's the big difference and everyone is too scared to talk about it.... Every kid needs a dad to keep him out of trouble
They don't need a father, they need a MAN. A father might teach you to catch a basesball and sign an alimony check. A MAN will teach you to take responsibility and that respect is earned not owed. A MAN in your life doesn't have to be your father, it can be Mr Feeny, or it can be Uncle Phil.
I was a high school teacher. One day, I noticed an envelope under a desk and found it belonged to one of the girl students. I know I was stepping outside my rights, but I read the letter. It was from the girl's father who was in jail. I almost cried as I read this man give his daughter wise and caring advice about her typical teenage girl problems. The next day, I handed the letter back to her, but to this day, I wish I had told her I had read the letter and that she had a dad who loved her and wanted her to be successful. I hope when he got out that they had a strong relationship.
You kinda deserve that, we told you it will happen, if you give them hand they will take entire arm. You were warned to not allow woke cult but what you did? Nothing. If you were to standup to that years ago while woke, BLM and other esg sponsored cults would not exist at all.
Privelege is privelege. The anti-racism policies have created an environment of privelege attached to colour/race. Reverse racism is not the solution to the issue of poverty and low socio-economic communities. Edit: this is the same when talking about gender.
I truly love listening to you process and break things down from a young black man's point of view. Youre objective and honest. It's refreshing. Thank you for your content
3:25 - I'm glad you're taking a look at this and being open minded. What scares me is anything but a meritocracy in fields where lives are on the line. I don't want to have to cross a bridge built by affirmative action, or fly into or out of an airport where air traffic control is anything but the best and most qualified based on tests and performance rather than any other social criteria. Inherent qualities outside of someone's control should not be the rubric by which people are entrusted with responsibility and power. I'll happily entrust my life to a non-Euclidean polytheistic Xanthian if they are the best for the job.
Only in a civilization that returns to valuing truth as one of the highest virtues. In the current civilization direction, he's likely to get in trouble for wrongthink instead.
LFR, you cannot imagine how right your are. I had to interview five black applicants for an entry electrical engineering position. Two from DeVry and three from ITT. Electrical engineering applicant could not identify an inductor on the circuit schematics. Two could not calculate the total resistance value of two resistors connected in parallel, they could not find common denominator of two fractions. This was not just sad, it was scary. This is because black students are given easy pass on studies, tests, and attitude. They become uncompetitive in the real world even though the higher education schools can brag about how many students of color graduated their institutions. So what???? They just wasted their time and achieved nothing. It's very sad...
Blacks in UK and thick whites who should not be in higher education all study crap now: Sports Science, media studies, it's all useless... Wow how can you study Elec Engineering and not being able to do resistors in parallel? That's like week one in college!
Wow I took electrical courses in 1988. High school Mostly bread boarding and learning about logic circuits. And , NAND and nor gates basic stuff. I haven't done a thing with it but I can still do everything you mentioned. I was a B student at best. That's crazy. I can tell you I had to teach my daughters math so they could graduate . They started to teach an Asian style left to right style of math. It works much like you do ot in your head however it take 4 times the paper and is slower. There was no continuity from class to class. The upshot was a lot of kids were pushed through barely understanding math. This may account for some of your math deficiencies in applicants but how they got through colledge is beyond me.
I like the way you started off by expressing that you HAD to interview five black applications. Very telling I wonder what the vibe was like during the interview.
@@treenaweathersby2563 I am not sure what meaning you are trying to convey in your comment. Are you implying a bias on the part of @bzman2946? If the sentence had read “I had to interview five black applicants to find one qualified applicant”, would that change your perspective.? Or perhaps it is not his usual role to interview applicants, and he was imposed upon to do it. Or if it was worded “I had five black applicants to interview…”? The point @bzman2946 is valid. So much of our education system is shortchanging the students. The theme of the video he was commenting on was of black privilege. We as a society are shooting ourselves by not promoting people using merit as the determining factor.
You bring up a very good point. The very existence of affirmative action shapes people's perceptions of black students. With DEI quotas it probably does the same thing for other marginalized demographics. People won't look at a black student and be assured that they got there under their own merit, while some and possibly most do there will always be that doubt present. It probably feels bad for the students in question too. I can imagine them wondering 'did I get this spot because I did well, or did I get it because I'm black?'. If affirmative action did not exist, the student could have the certainty that they did well and got their deserved spot and there would be no resentment from others.
It's always a blessing to see a young person with a good head on his shoulders in these times. Gives me a little bit of hope for the future. I wish you the best.
The problem with racism *was* that people in charge didn't hire people because they were a crtain race. The current problem with racism is that the people in charge *must* hire people because they are a certain race. If racism is to ever be eliminated, the race of an applicant *cannot matter in any way* ...neither positively, nor negatively. Hiring should only be based on merit and *no other metrics.* Want a better job? Do the work. Get the education. And that doesn't mean "get them into the programs"... it means they need to have the effort invested, the priorities nailed down that *earns* that place in the educational program they choose, so that when they graduate they can get the job in the field they desire because they are now *qualified* for it. No one has ever progressed through a handout. No one has ever gotten more done by doing half of the work for them. No one has ever learned more with less focus on grades. Affirmative action, by definition, is saying that "these races cannot do it on their own. They do not work hard enough, aren't smart enough, and don't deserve the respect of having achieved it without these huge assistance props. They just aren't good enough." And *that* is bullshit. Falls under the same kind of backwards thinking that has "strong independent women" wanting a man to pay for everything for them, so they don't have to. *People only succeed through doing it for themselves.* At anything. Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish... yeah, you've heard this one before right?
Close, but no cigar on that first point. People are openly refusing to hire on the basis of race, and many other bad thingsare happening besides. Also, you can cut that 6% number at the beginning of the video down to more like 3 or 4%, since the very young and very old are not usually the ones doing the things.
Bullseyes. The only difference between a racist and racialist is which party they belong to - they both sort society by pigment... which is the root of the problem.
Well the thing is…. When we hire fairly and based on merits, blacks will fall behind and the races will get hired disproportionately. The radical left can’t swallow that because then they would have to give reasons for why that happens other than racism and oppression by white people. There will never be a moment in history when we could openly admit it is the black community itself that fails and sucks and destroys itself. We’ll always have to pretend it’s white’s people fault.
I've watched your show for awhile now. I love seeing young people take in new information with an open mind. The breakdown of the family unit, show by statistics is the largest reason for kids turning up in trouble. That applies to all races of people.
Saying the truth out loud. Stop saying you're sorry for saying the truth. Be proud of yourself for having the guys to speak out when others won't. That's courage.
The bar should never be lowered. I keep seeing news about black students, even very young black students, getting their college degrees very early on and finishing high school with insane GPA. I repeat, the bar does not need to be lowered because that implies we can't do it. When I was in university I did very well, and the only time I had any trouble was when covid first hit. Yeah, there were stressful times, but I got through it, and I started and ended my time in university on a very high note.
The Asian kids get denied with higher test scores & GPA to meet quotas. Those numbers equate to a higher chance of success and graduating. Instead quotas are met, and those kids drop out with debt at a higher rate.
Blaming others for the problems facing any particular community destroys any hope of a path forward to solving the problems. If it's not your fault that such-n-such, then you have no power to affect the change necessary to overcome that issue. Keeping a community powerless is keeping them dependent on "hero" politicians who promise "help" even if they never deliver it. They don't ever have to deliver, because that community is helpless either way. It's not so much a _culture_ as it is a _mindset_ that needs to be changed.
it's why it's called the crabs in a bucket mentality. When ever one of their community strives forward, those that didn't put effort into themselves will demand from those that did. Its the same with indigenous populations in US, Australia and New Zealand...
Honestly, it's weird, because when people of color did organize and build up communities they were burned down, bombed, and destroyed by non-people of color and the gov't. Making black people as a culture afraid to be great, like being cool for not caring about school. Though this has improved over the years.
Heads up from Germany. I follow your channel for quite some time now and I have a lot of respect for someone as young as you are to be so eloquent and so open minded. Keep up the good work! All the success to you!
He's getting closer to the truth. I've been saying this for years: the black population is roughly 12%. When discussing crime by black people, it's mostly black men, bringing it down to about 6% of the population. Focusing on violent crime, it's generally among those aged 18 to their 20s, reducing it further to about 3%. Most of that crime is committed by gang members, realistically around 1-2% of the population. The general population often misunderstands this. While 90% of the black population, along with most of the general population, make excuses for this small fraction's behavior-citing systemic racism and poverty-it normalizes that behavior. No one condemns it; instead, they justify it. People with little interaction with black culture perceive this behavior as acceptable. Excusing this behavior implies it’s understandable, but it represents a very small number in the community, which perpetuates harmful stereotypes and damages the black community.
I am more than willing to pay reparations to anyone who was enslaved by me. I am NOT willIng to pay ANYTHING to someone who was NOT directly enslaved, directly by ME!

Subbed man. I usually don't watch/vibe with, what I guess you would call "UA-cam color-commentating", but you're a real level-headed kid and easy to listen to.

He named the top 3 things to succeed and that was getting married before having children. You say you see black people and assume most black people are doing the right thing but only 20-25% of black children live in a home with a mother and father. This is a huge contributing factor for crime and it is not just effecting black people.
Not having the biological father in the home also correlates with poor academic success. Fathers also help kids move out into the society providing connections for jobs and make demands on the kid to perform well so as not to embarrass him. I overheard a black mother on the phone saying her teenage son had called his grandma a bi*ch so she “throwed him against the wall.” Then she called his *%*#@& daddy who came over apparently to throw him against the wall too. Somehow I don’t think this is a very effective child rearing strategy, but maybe better than nothing.
I can’t believe that we are at a point in our society where women and men think that having children outside of marriage is OK. It’s accepted now. They don’t know the concept of forming a marriage first and making a family.
My university had special hours for black students to come to the library and 'tutors' would do their homework for them and they were free to plagiarize any writing assignment

I am a strong opponent of affirmative action. I've seen first hand the harm that it can do. Back in the 80's, I went to one of the best engineering schools in the country. Also there was a half-black, half-Puerto Rican student that became a friend of mine. He came from the NYC school system, and I later found out he was admitted through an affirmative action program because he checked off two minority demographics. I knew this student was having problems with calculus because several of my others friends told me they had tried to help him when he was having difficulty, but were unable to do so. I thought that I was decent calculus, so maybe I could describe the subject matter to him in a way he could understand. In very short order, I discovered why every else had failed to help him. The student didn't just have problems understanding calculus, but he also did not understand trigonometry, geometry, or even algebra. He really needed help with grade school math. It turned out his grade school and high school teachers just passed him along the system because they did not want to be seen holding a minority back. The result of this was the student failed out of college because he was completely incapable of competing with other students at the same level, and he eventually became a professional waiter. After thinking about this for a while, I realized that affirmative action actually harmed two students lives - the student I knew and another student who missed out being admitted to a top college. I believe in equal opportunity, but I also believe the system we have set up is actually hurting people in the long run more than it is helping them. I have no problem with providing added instruction to people in need of it, but I also believe that people should not be given a position unless they have the abilities to meet the requirements of that position.
There were injustices perpetrated on Italian and Irish and Asian immigrants around the tern of the century, in addition to black people. Do those people also deserve reparations? The country could not afford that. It is crazy. Thank you for being brave enough to speak the truth.
These colleges get bigger government stipend for different races enrolled and students that complete or graduate college. It’s the same with public schools and daycares if I remember right
Jojo, I admire your ability to overcome the herd mentality thought process and open mind to learn instead of accepting regurgitated lies. Continue to process information, grow as a person and you will go far in life when you get out of college.
@patriciakennedy4780 Nobody's saying every person without a dad is automatically evil or that having a dad makes you automatically a good person, just that statistically lack of a present and active father (figure) is a high indicator of issues including crime.
Sam will try to blame it on welfare, but welfare did not take men out of the home. At most benefits were denied, and after 1968 this practice was illegal. So it wasn't welfare.
No pops in the home is not working for a excuse. The divorce rate is over 70 percent. Over 1/2 the children in the USA are single parent households. The problem is culture.
We have a similar issue, but actually worse, here in Australia. Aboriginals are only roughly 3% of the Australian population yet commit around 45% of the crime. The prisons are full of them.
Oh, and Aboriginals get their our dedicated health, legal, education and other departments which all provide free services for them. Yep, free legal aid every time they break the law. They get FREE university. They get priority admission to uni and also jobs, since like you mentioned in the USA, we also unfortunately have quotas for them to get in.
What a gem of a person. It's so refreshing to see such a smart, intelligent guy, who's willing to look at society with fairness and open-mindedness. Much respect for this young man.
JoJo, you had a great dad, just like I did. They would not put up with us doing what the average does. Therefore, we saw our parents success and knew if we worked hard we would be successful too.
@@GhostSal Had a dad while he was growing up. He still has a dad, but Jojo has become an adult and still has a dad (excellent UA-cam personality and highly intelligent), but I was speaking past tense as to raising Jojo to be what he is today.

Back in 1982 I took college classes at 16 years old to get my level one and level two reserve officer certificates. I wanted to be in law-enforcement. I was hired by our prison system in 1988 as a temporary employee. Even though I was overqualified for the position. The reason is I’m a woman and I’m white. The Hispanic and black females with no education who were on welfare got hired before me for permanent employment. I had to be on the job six months and retest to get permanent employee status. Do you see any fairness in that? I worked my butt off holding down a full-time job in high school and going to night classes to only be told I’m sorry but we’re going to hire, other people ahead of you and most of those people couldn’t handle the job and quit. I ended up staying and retiring from that job.
African Americans doing the right thing are the vast majority of African Americans. What Charlie is speaking to are the fringe yet are the loudest voices and are who is most visible creating the narrative. What is needed are more voices like yours that spread a positive message and positively contributed to the culture of your community and the nation as a whole.
Id like to think your right...but I just dont think the data supports it. Doing the right thing doesnt create 75% fatherless homes, or packs of wild teens robbing and rioting constantly. Black families as a whole (not outliers) do not hold themselves to standards that benefit society...or even themselves.
@@tntcyclespdx640 I agree with you. I honestly didn't want to say it because I wanted to keep my post positive. The lack of accountability is pervasive throughout the community even with the majority that are good people. The problem is that the ones that are brave enough to speak up, will be called a traitor or an "Uncle Tom" by the fringe loud voices the same way they will call Charlie a racist.

I seriously doubt the "vast majority are doing the right thing" claim. Maybe majority don't do any serious crimes but a good percentage are not decent neighbors you want around you. I'm talking about their behavior, not their looks.
Kirk is right up to a point; yes black men are 6% of the population, but not all of that 6% are committing the crimes. It’s much less than that, which makes the reality of the statistical proportionality of so few committing so much violent person crime in this country is pure horror.

@@GhostSalthe number is actually 1 in 5 now. Not to present disagreement or to dispute your point at all but to infer greater emphasis that a minority of the people are causing the majority of the damage. Even 1 in 5 is too much obviously but part of the problem is that black culture allows the vocal minority to define the identity of the majority. Most black people are hard working law abiding citizens but all people see is hip hop and gang culture as who we are as if we also don't have Doctors, Lawyers, and business owners.
There are few black people here where I live. Crimes are committed by a small percentage of people all across the country? I was talking to a magistrate a couple years ago, and he told me that 2% of the population in this county does 95% of the crimes. What that means is, when crimes are done here, the law knows where to go to investigate. The 2% was a cash cow for the court system. The criminals would get arrested, post bail, pay a fine, and turned loose? Two weeks later, the same criminals were in the magistrates office being processed, fined and turned loose again. If you look at the criminals activity across America, the same thing is going on. Everybody wonders why criminals are turned loose only to steal and kill again, and this is why. Crime creates big bucks for the court system. If criminals are in jail, it creates a negative cash flow for the system. When the criminals are turned loose, they are going to get arrested over and over again, and the courts get all the money in fines and court costs. Crime is a huge money machine for the government, and the people are suffering loss as a result of the government getting more and more.
Is math racist to you? You sound like you think math is racist. Show me a black only civilization that is on par with an average white civilization. We're not the same. It's obvious we're not even close to similar but people don't want to say the quiet part out loud. We're not equal, fuckin get over it.
As a black man, it’s hurts to hear this from another race. There are truths in what he is saying, but he needs to be careful on the delivery as this as it can foster a narrative that covers all black people. I come from a good family that teaches morals and values, and my main objective is to pass that to my children. It’s unfortunate that the black community does little to hold ourselves accountable rather than hear harsh realities from another race. I believe it starts in the home
It hurts white people that have earned to get into the schools they deserve and the jobs they deserve too. Sometimes the truth hurts. He didn't once say it spanned every black person. alive. I don't want to get a job because my skin is dark. I want to earn it. 👍
When he said Asian moms do not put up with their children committing crimes. It used to be the same with Black Americans. I remember back in the 1960s and early 1970s that if a black kid did something wrong, the police did not arrest them, they took them home. Why? Because the police knew that their parents would punish them much harder than the courts would ever do. Back then, if anyone did something wrong, let alone a black kid, it disgraced the entire family. Black American families would NOT allow their children to disgrace the family or the family name. God forbid that a grandparent lived in the home or nearby. If so, the poor black kid would not be able to sit for a good week. Now days, it seems that black families embrace bad behavior in their children.
You're implying that black kids have "families". The real correlation is with fatherlessness and crime. In other demographics as well. Just turns out that black culture has a much higher percentage of fatherlessness. It's a culture problem, not a skin-color problem.
Well said @@EuthanizePitbulls
this.
A teacher in Ontario Canada just leaked part of the new k to 6 "race matters" curriculum." Part of the cource is the concept of "Black Joy" . A feeling of pride joy and elation black people feel when standing up to authority and oppression . This may include crime. If white teachers are uncomfortable teaching this and other so called " facts" they must examine thier reasons for hidden bias and racism. In other words it's racist to expect black people to respect law and order. If it's here it's in the states too. Home school or a carefully chosen private school is getting to be the only way to get your kid to adulthood unindoctrinated by this ridiculous, devisive, race and identity ideology that ignores merit and glorifies victimhood. .
@@EuthanizePitbullsWhoa! Blacks DID have families.Back then, men and women had to be married to live together. Only then did they have kids. There wasn’t divorce or single parents before the 70s. All the issues you’re talking about are recent developments.

I think it’s time we move to a society where a man is judged on the content of his character and not the color of his skin
What’s sad is we were sooooooooo much closer in the 90’s. Everyone agreed on MLK’s message. And MLK was a Christian - so that is not the message being sent today.
The message before was clearly to become a “color blind” society. There were clothing brands like Cross Colours and it was a message based in love.
Something happened after 9/11 to the people here. It’s like everyone was traumatized and now all there is in the world is a constant message or fear and death. When you kick God out of society within 2 generations a new lower-g god replaces Him. And that leads to open pagan idol worship and all that comes with that in the dark.
That will NEVER EVER happen with democrats in control , pushing the racism lie is what they live for.
I Agree.
@@DFSLJCBecause instead of unity, certain people with a lot of sway in the media want revenge. Kendi's book about antiracism clearly lays out their goal. Their answer to racism in the past is racism in the present. The answer to racism in the present is racism in the future. It is literally calling for an apartheid state where everyone that isn't black is a 2nd class citizen.
We cannot move to that sort of color blind society because the race hustlers will never allow it.
I'm 40+ years old and I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear and see a young black man like yourself speaking the honest truth. I can't even express how heartbreaking it is to watch the decimation of the black community with this oppression ideology. The fact that we (blacks) are okay with tests being dumbed down for our children and them graduating from high school with a 4th grade reading level is absolutely appalling. Not even mentioning the inability to do BASIC math. This is essentially creating a race of dependence - and once you become dependent on someone else for your most basic needs in life you've delivered yourself back into a form of slavery.
If you do enough research you’ll find out that we were programmed this way through schools, TV Programs, music labels that hand pick specific artists, social media and every outlet where a corporation snuck poison into our food and we didn’t realize it was there. We have to undo it but only by looking at the real causes to the effects. Trust me the psychological research that the NSA , CIA, military and other intelligence agencies conduct has been misused over our community. We weren’t like this 60 years ago. What happened to black Wall Street? You think they stopped there? Dig deeper
You forgot Beautiful 40+
Very well said!
But its NOT just Black children that are being dumbed down! It's ALL American children regardless of Race that are being turned into total moronic idiots!

Thomas Sowell commented that back before affirmative action when someone saw a black man in a high position people assumed he was one of the smartest men in the room to achieve his position.
After affirmative action everyone assumes that any black man in a high position is just an affirmative action hire who isn't really qualified.
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. He is one of the smartest men we have in this country. I wish his voice and wisdom were more widely accepted. My liberal friends refuse to acknowledge him.
Affirmative action is that every non-white in the world would be Elon Musk, except for racism. Interesting concept.
So true. I admire Thomas Sowell - he earned it!

The real problem is that influential people are creating division either due to ignorance of reality or deliberate deception because it gives them more control/power over those who believe the lie. there is no legal solution you cant legislate morality if you want society to exist. the best you can do is have a way to remove an immoral person from the role even then there is no guarantee since that process can be filled by others with equally questionable morals. we are seeing this play out in U.S. government today.

Sorry, dude, but it is WORSE. From 2006 through 2015, police in 52 of the nation’s largest cities failed to make an arrest in nearly 26,000 killings, according to a Washington Post analysis of homicide arrest data. In more than 18,600 of those cases, the victim was Black. Based on historical stats, 96% of those murderers were Black. And that is because of the lack of cooperation from the Black community. So when you adjust, some of those crime stats get even because all that is reported are arrests. Welcome to reality Jojo. Things are not what the left says they are.

Yup, we are the color blind generation. Our parent's generation did a flip flop on us again and turned our children against us by bringing back THEIR racism.
He doesn't say rap is bad. Just gangsta rap and areas of rap and hip hop thay glorify bad behavior.
Which is a big difference
Yep.
Will Smith rap exists.
HOW MANY RAP "ARTISTS" HAVE BEEN MURDERED IN GANG VIOLENCE??? NOW HOW MANY JAZZ ARTISTS WERE MURDERED AT ALL??? They left the "C" off of RAP!!!!!!
I'm not expert but 99,9% of rap is about drugs, violence, hate towards cops, sex with whores etc. I'm yet to hear rap about anything positive.

I'm happy that more people are talking about these things instead of being so afraid to tell the truth. Thank you sir.
Now it is not race quotas or affirmative action, it's "diversity, equity, and inclusion." What's the difference?
I think affirmative action was meant with good intentions at first. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is Marxism.
Those terms are phonetically different but are synonymous in the end. They just choose(and often redefine) words that sound the best to the shallow minded.
Affirmative action gave advantages to minorities, but DIE actively tries to suppress white people. These people literally believe it ok to be racist against white people and promote bigotry because of white guilt psychos. Some of these white liberals call themselves colonizers and literally kiss the feet of minorities in protests in some sort of machoistic fetish.
Marxism is better at branding, just look at the name Black Lives Matter. The founders are admitted Marxists and they chose a name that if you disagree with their agenda they can easily call you a racist. That's why I say yes black lives do matter but the organization itself is garbage.
The difference is, it's a lot worse now!
I LOVE this young man's intellectual honesty!
As a "mixed race" white woman and Choctaw Indian, I very much appreciate your intellect and not being afraid to say the truth. Yes atrocities have been done in the past especially to my people who were pushed off the land and forced onto reservations. There is not a person alive who has not been oppressed in some way at some time, especially women when black men could own property before women. But using what occurred in the past to stamp your foot and demand that everyone else coddle you and fix your problems, pull the race card and blame others for problems you could fix, is wrong regardless of what race you are. YOU have the power to fix or improve your life, whatever your circumstances. The problem is too many people have a sense of entitlement and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter, because it is easier to complain and blame other groups of people for the fact that they are where they are, than to put forth any effort to get into a better situation. That is the basis for the old saying of "Beggars can't be Choosers". If you expect anything and everything to be given to you, then don't complain about the crumbs you get. Get out there and make an effort and make a better life for yourself. That is exactly what I had to do working jobs and putting myself through school. Neither me nor any of my white friends had any "white privilege" at all while two of our wonderful black friends got full scholarships. I am happy for them, but don't you dare throw in my face that my success is white privledge. That is why I don't even list my Indian heritage or white heritage on any documents because it should not even be a factor. My merit is the only thing that should count.
here here! RESPECT to you
Nailed it!
Nailed it and respect you.
You are very mature and I salute you
Agree. If a person is waitng for someone else to fix their problems other than taking steps themselves, they will waste their life and be waiting a long time.
I'm white and because we were poor I couldn't afford to go to a college, certainly not live in a dorm! That was the height of 'rich living' in my view. I took out loans, worked through school which was in my hometown so I could live at home. I eventually earned my MBA and now earn 165k because I worked my ass off and feel intelligent, confident and worthy. I really worry that these handouts to Blacks are subconsciously making them feel less worthy and smart. They are just as capable of working as hard as anyone else to get where they want.
Yeah but according to some groups you still have ‘white privilege’ despite the truth and honest hardworking struggles of your life story. It’s all crazy.
I grew up poor too, and went to college under a grant. There was a part of the school (think a square atrium), that is 3 stories tall. In the first week, walking through there, you could see people getting pelted by things; food, pencils, water etc. The people doing it were a bunch of black kids, trying to see if they could nail people from the top floor. And I live in a largely Hispanic city...
@@rorscheand if we point out the obvious…we’re racists
Good job! O wish the thought process was taught to all poor white kids so we realize WE CAN be successful in life. But as a poor white kid with a learning disability that no one ever caught..i was not taught I could be anything. The system just turned against me and made me RESENT school and RESENT the rich. I wish I was brought up with YOUR SCRAPPING TO THE TOP. But another thing that hurts a kid is an absent father or a father who resents the child cuz they don't understand why one child is so smart and another NOT. Just many factors. And broken kids live broken lives and raise more broken kids. Just something to think about. Encourage your kids to embrace YOUR AWESOME MENTALITY!
My dad grew up in poverty and he was the pivotal generation in my family. He worked his ass off to get through school and pay for it himself. His mother never owned a home. They were evicted from many places. His father was a deadbeat. It all starts with someone changing their family dynamics, and it usually begins with a different view of the importance of an education. Education and majoring in something that gives you descent paying employment!
The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem.
Exhibit A: In 2022, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs admitted that it has been discriminating against black veterans for decades in regard to disability benefits.
Exhibit B: In 2023, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted that it has been discriminating against Black taxpayers.
We need to learn from the past, not live in it.
The past was a lot better. I'm talking 80's - 90's.

In 1990s the school I attended had 4 scholarships 2 for black cultures and 2 open school in athletics.
Coach pulled me aside and said he was putting my name in for one of the scholarships. Following week he pulled me aside to say not to cry but that the school had said I would have to ask my parents to pay $2500 for training cause of being white and they wanted the scholarships to go to black kids.
He said you and I know it’s wrong but he couldn’t convince them to change their minds and his hands were tied. All 4 of the scholarships went to only the black students.
All I could say was sorry coach, I can’t ask my parents for money we haven’t got. It’s a shame as I stopped running that day and those in athletics know when I say there’s a feeling of flying like a bird, feeling free that I have never been able to get since that day.
It didn’t matter who ran faster, who turned up for every chance at training sessions. I was so dedicated I had attended every training- before school, recess, lunch, after school etc I even had trained at home with ropes tied around my waist until I was running with four old car tires bouncing along behind me.
I had gotten to the point I barely would’ve needed to reach arm in a bent position to touch the shoulder of another student who had 2 years professional training.
I was never bitter at the other students training or scholarships, most were friends, I still get that crushed feeling at the memory of losing an opportunity because the school couldn’t see past me being white though after all these years.
That is so unfair. I'm sorry you lost out.
@@BPEntertainment1 I’m still happy that atleast someone else didn’t have to experience missing out in the way I did and someone else got the chance
What's sad is that you let $2,500 stand in your way. You could have borrowed the money.
The problem is absent fathers, that's the big difference and everyone is too scared to talk about it.... Every kid needs a dad to keep him out of trouble
They don't need a father, they need a MAN. A father might teach you to catch a basesball and sign an alimony check. A MAN will teach you to take responsibility and that respect is earned not owed. A MAN in your life doesn't have to be your father, it can be Mr Feeny, or it can be Uncle Phil.
@@jadespider7526 silly point, a father suggests having responsibility, it suggests family... Anyone can be a man, even women now apparently 😂

I was a high school teacher. One day, I noticed an envelope under a desk and found it belonged to one of the girl students. I know I was stepping outside my rights, but I read the letter. It was from the girl's father who was in jail. I almost cried as I read this man give his daughter wise and caring advice about her typical teenage girl problems. The next day, I handed the letter back to her, but to this day, I wish I had told her I had read the letter and that she had a dad who loved her and wanted her to be successful. I hope when he got out that they had a strong relationship.
This is the ridiculous reality. Everyone is so scared to say these things out loud but, it is ALL true.

Privelege is privelege. The anti-racism policies have created an environment of privelege attached to colour/race. Reverse racism is not the solution to the issue of poverty and low socio-economic communities.
Edit: this is the same when talking about gender.
No such thing as "reverse" racism.
Racism is racism, no matter who does it. It doesn't need a qualifier before it.
Reverse racism is not the solution because it doesn't exist.
because racism is just racism.
there is no such thing as reverse racism... it's just racism. The only difference is that the pendulum has swung the other way.
im starting to think the pendulum will swing back and forth forever
I truly love listening to you process and break things down from a young black man's point of view. Youre objective and honest. It's refreshing. Thank you for your content
3:25 - I'm glad you're taking a look at this and being open minded. What scares me is anything but a meritocracy in fields where lives are on the line. I don't want to have to cross a bridge built by affirmative action, or fly into or out of an airport where air traffic control is anything but the best and most qualified based on tests and performance rather than any other social criteria.
Inherent qualities outside of someone's control should not be the rubric by which people are entrusted with responsibility and power. I'll happily entrust my life to a non-Euclidean polytheistic Xanthian if they are the best for the job.

LFR, you cannot imagine how right your are. I had to interview five black applicants for an entry electrical engineering position. Two from DeVry and three from ITT. Electrical engineering applicant could not identify an inductor on the circuit schematics. Two could not calculate the total resistance value of two resistors connected in parallel, they could not find common denominator of two fractions. This was not just sad, it was scary. This is because black students are given easy pass on studies, tests, and attitude. They become uncompetitive in the real world even though the higher education schools can brag about how many students of color graduated their institutions. So what???? They just wasted their time and achieved nothing. It's very sad...
Blacks in UK and thick whites who should not be in higher education all study crap now: Sports Science, media studies, it's all useless... Wow how can you study Elec Engineering and not being able to do resistors in parallel? That's like week one in college!
The “pass” on attitude is probably the most destructive of the three…..
Wow I took electrical courses in 1988. High school Mostly bread boarding and learning about logic circuits. And , NAND and nor gates basic stuff. I haven't done a thing with it but I can still do everything you mentioned. I was a B student at best. That's crazy.
I can tell you I had to teach my daughters math so they could graduate . They started to teach an Asian style left to right style of math. It works much like you do ot in your head however it take 4 times the paper and is slower. There was no continuity from class to class. The upshot was a lot of kids were pushed through barely understanding math. This may account for some of your math deficiencies in applicants but how they got through colledge is beyond me.
I like the way you started off by expressing that you HAD to interview five black applications. Very telling I wonder what the vibe was like during the interview.
@@treenaweathersby2563 I am not sure what meaning you are trying to convey in your comment. Are you implying a bias on the part of @bzman2946? If the sentence had read “I had to interview five black applicants to find one qualified applicant”, would that change your perspective.? Or perhaps it is not his usual role to interview applicants, and he was imposed upon to do it. Or if it was worded “I had five black applicants to interview…”? The point @bzman2946 is valid. So much of our education system is shortchanging the students. The theme of the video he was commenting on was of black privilege. We as a society are shooting ourselves by not promoting people using merit as the determining factor.
LFR Jojo, thank you for your intellectual and spiritual integrity.
You're a great kid. You're interested in finding objective truth. That's rare these days
You bring up a very good point. The very existence of affirmative action shapes people's perceptions of black students. With DEI quotas it probably does the same thing for other marginalized demographics. People won't look at a black student and be assured that they got there under their own merit, while some and possibly most do there will always be that doubt present. It probably feels bad for the students in question too. I can imagine them wondering 'did I get this spot because I did well, or did I get it because I'm black?'. If affirmative action did not exist, the student could have the certainty that they did well and got their deserved spot and there would be no resentment from others.
That you didnt know the stats tells me how effective msm is in keeping a lid on these things. Appreciate your heart.
First step is people need to realize we can talk about this without being demonized.
I’m a white male and it’s kind of refreshing to see a black male speak the truth of their own race. You got my respect!
Oh shut yo stoopid ass up....
It's always a blessing to see a young person with a good head on his shoulders in these times. Gives me a little bit of hope for the future. I wish you the best.
The problem with racism *was* that people in charge didn't hire people because they were a crtain race.
The current problem with racism is that the people in charge *must* hire people because they are a certain race.
If racism is to ever be eliminated, the race of an applicant *cannot matter in any way* ...neither positively, nor negatively. Hiring should only be based on merit and *no other metrics.* Want a better job?
Do the work. Get the education.
And that doesn't mean "get them into the programs"... it means they need to have the effort invested, the priorities nailed down that *earns* that place in the educational program they choose, so that when they graduate they can get the job in the field they desire because they are now *qualified* for it.
No one has ever progressed through a handout.
No one has ever gotten more done by doing half of the work for them.
No one has ever learned more with less focus on grades.
Affirmative action, by definition, is saying that "these races cannot do it on their own. They do not work hard enough, aren't smart enough, and don't deserve the respect of having achieved it without these huge assistance props. They just aren't good enough."
And *that* is bullshit.
Falls under the same kind of backwards thinking that has "strong independent women" wanting a man to pay for everything for them, so they don't have to.
*People only succeed through doing it for themselves.* At anything.
Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish... yeah, you've heard this one before right?
Great, insightful, pass it on.👍
Close, but no cigar on that first point.
People are openly refusing to hire on the basis of race, and many other bad thingsare happening besides.
Also, you can cut that 6% number at the beginning of the video down to more like 3 or 4%, since the very young and very old are not usually the ones doing the things.
Bullseyes. The only difference between a racist and racialist is which party they belong to - they both sort society by pigment... which is the root of the problem.
Well the thing is…. When we hire fairly and based on merits, blacks will fall behind and the races will get hired disproportionately. The radical left can’t swallow that because then they would have to give reasons for why that happens other than racism and oppression by white people. There will never be a moment in history when we could openly admit it is the black community itself that fails and sucks and destroys itself. We’ll always have to pretend it’s white’s people fault.
I've watched your show for awhile now. I love seeing young people take in new information with an open mind.
The breakdown of the family unit, show by statistics is the largest reason for kids turning up in trouble. That applies to all races of people.
Saying the truth out loud. Stop saying you're sorry for saying the truth. Be proud of yourself for having the guys to speak out when others won't. That's courage.
The bar should never be lowered. I keep seeing news about black students, even very young black students, getting their college degrees very early on and finishing high school with insane GPA. I repeat, the bar does not need to be lowered because that implies we can't do it. When I was in university I did very well, and the only time I had any trouble was when covid first hit. Yeah, there were stressful times, but I got through it, and I started and ended my time in university on a very high note.
The Asian kids get denied with higher test scores & GPA to meet quotas. Those numbers equate to a higher chance of success and graduating. Instead quotas are met, and those kids drop out with debt at a higher rate.
And the nation is that much poorer because we do not have the best and brightest getting into those critical positions in society.
Thank you for presenting this and being open minded. A refreshing change.
Blaming others for the problems facing any particular community destroys any hope of a path forward to solving the problems. If it's not your fault that such-n-such, then you have no power to affect the change necessary to overcome that issue. Keeping a community powerless is keeping them dependent on "hero" politicians who promise "help" even if they never deliver it. They don't ever have to deliver, because that community is helpless either way. It's not so much a _culture_ as it is a _mindset_ that needs to be changed.
it's why it's called the crabs in a bucket mentality. When ever one of their community strives forward, those that didn't put effort into themselves will demand from those that did. Its the same with indigenous populations in US, Australia and New Zealand...
Honestly, it's weird, because when people of color did organize and build up communities they were burned down, bombed, and destroyed by non-people of color and the gov't. Making black people as a culture afraid to be great, like being cool for not caring about school. Though this has improved over the years.
Heads up from Germany. I follow your channel for quite some time now and I have a lot of respect for someone as young as you are to be so eloquent and so open minded. Keep up the good work! All the success to you!
He's getting closer to the truth. I've been saying this for years: the black population is roughly 12%. When discussing crime by black people, it's mostly black men, bringing it down to about 6% of the population. Focusing on violent crime, it's generally among those aged 18 to their 20s, reducing it further to about 3%. Most of that crime is committed by gang members, realistically around 1-2% of the population. The general population often misunderstands this.
While 90% of the black population, along with most of the general population, make excuses for this small fraction's behavior-citing systemic racism and poverty-it normalizes that behavior. No one condemns it; instead, they justify it. People with little interaction with black culture perceive this behavior as acceptable. Excusing this behavior implies it’s understandable, but it represents a very small number in the community, which perpetuates harmful stereotypes and damages the black community.
I am more than willing to pay reparations to anyone who was enslaved by me. I am NOT willIng to pay ANYTHING to someone who was NOT directly enslaved, directly by ME!

Edit: typo
He named the top 3 things to succeed and that was getting married before having children. You say you see black people and assume most black people are doing the right thing but only 20-25% of black children live in a home with a mother and father. This is a huge contributing factor for crime and it is not just effecting black people.
From what I've been told it's one of the biggest contributing factors. I've never actually seen any stats back that up though.
Not having the biological father in the home also correlates with poor academic success. Fathers also help kids move out into the society providing connections for jobs and make demands on the kid to perform well so as not to embarrass him. I overheard a black mother on the phone saying her teenage son had called his grandma a bi*ch so she “throwed him against the wall.” Then she called his *%*#@& daddy who came over apparently to throw him against the wall too. Somehow I don’t think this is a very effective child rearing strategy, but maybe better than nothing.
I can’t believe that we are at a point in our society where women and men think that having children outside of marriage is OK. It’s accepted now. They don’t know the concept of forming a marriage first and making a family.

Great video. I pray to see change in America where we all can see each other as valuable humans; where we accept responsible for ourselves and our actions; where we can live side by side and be good neighbors.
I am a strong opponent of affirmative action. I've seen first hand the harm that it can do.
Back in the 80's, I went to one of the best engineering schools in the country. Also there was a half-black, half-Puerto Rican student that became a friend of mine. He came from the NYC school system, and I later found out he was admitted through an affirmative action program because he checked off two minority demographics.
I knew this student was having problems with calculus because several of my others friends told me they had tried to help him when he was having difficulty, but were unable to do so. I thought that I was decent calculus, so maybe I could describe the subject matter to him in a way he could understand. In very short order, I discovered why every else had failed to help him. The student didn't just have problems understanding calculus, but he also did not understand trigonometry, geometry, or even algebra. He really needed help with grade school math. It turned out his grade school and high school teachers just passed him along the system because they did not want to be seen holding a minority back.
The result of this was the student failed out of college because he was completely incapable of competing with other students at the same level, and he eventually became a professional waiter. After thinking about this for a while, I realized that affirmative action actually harmed two students lives - the student I knew and another student who missed out being admitted to a top college.
I believe in equal opportunity, but I also believe the system we have set up is actually hurting people in the long run more than it is helping them. I have no problem with providing added instruction to people in need of it, but I also believe that people should not be given a position unless they have the abilities to meet the requirements of that position.
Wow, it's wonderful to hear a black college student speak up for what's right, thank you
There were injustices perpetrated on Italian and Irish and Asian immigrants around the tern of the century, in addition to black people. Do those people also deserve reparations? The country could not afford that.
It is crazy. Thank you for being brave enough to speak the truth.
Japanese Americans were paid reparations.
These colleges get bigger government stipend for different races enrolled and students that complete or graduate college. It’s the same with public schools and daycares if I remember right
Jojo, I admire your ability to overcome the herd mentality thought process and open mind to learn instead of accepting regurgitated lies. Continue to process information, grow as a person and you will go far in life when you get out of college.
Dayummm... TRUTH!!! I salute you for your honesty and integrity good sir. I wish people from ALL races possessed more of it! SUBSCRIBED!!! :D
It's mostly a problem with young men who do not have fathers who are active in their lives.
Timothy in the bible was a good guy and he didn't have a dad .
@patriciakennedy4780 Nobody's saying every person without a dad is automatically evil or that having a dad makes you automatically a good person, just that statistically lack of a present and active father (figure) is a high indicator of issues including crime.
So true. Cause this kid got a Daddy in his life
Sam will try to blame it on welfare, but welfare did not take men out of the home. At most benefits were denied, and after 1968 this practice was illegal. So it wasn't welfare.
No pops in the home is not working for a excuse. The divorce rate is over 70 percent. Over 1/2 the children in the USA are single parent households. The problem is culture.
We have a similar issue, but actually worse, here in Australia. Aboriginals are only roughly 3% of the Australian population yet commit around 45% of the crime. The prisons are full of them.
Oh, and Aboriginals get their our dedicated health, legal, education and other departments which all provide free services for them. Yep, free legal aid every time they break the law.
They get FREE university.
They get priority admission to uni and also jobs, since like you mentioned in the USA, we also unfortunately have quotas for them to get in.

Riiiiight? Haha 😂
Keep on working hard, you are a smart young man.
Back in 1982 I took college classes at 16 years old to get my level one and level two reserve officer certificates. I wanted to be in law-enforcement. I was hired by our prison system in 1988 as a temporary employee. Even though I was overqualified for the position. The reason is I’m a woman and I’m white. The Hispanic and black females with no education who were on welfare got hired before me for permanent employment. I had to be on the job six months and retest to get permanent employee status. Do you see any fairness in that? I worked my butt off holding down a full-time job in high school and going to night classes to only be told I’m sorry but we’re going to hire, other people ahead of you and most of those people couldn’t handle the job and quit. I ended up staying and retiring from that job.
African Americans doing the right thing are the vast majority of African Americans. What Charlie is speaking to are the fringe yet are the loudest voices and are who is most visible creating the narrative. What is needed are more voices like yours that spread a positive message and positively contributed to the culture of your community and the nation as a whole.
Id like to think your right...but I just dont think the data supports it. Doing the right thing doesnt create 75% fatherless homes, or packs of wild teens robbing and rioting constantly. Black families as a whole (not outliers) do not hold themselves to standards that benefit society...or even themselves.
@@tntcyclespdx640 I agree with you. I honestly didn't want to say it because I wanted to keep my post positive. The lack of accountability is pervasive throughout the community even with the majority that are good people. The problem is that the ones that are brave enough to speak up, will be called a traitor or an "Uncle Tom" by the fringe loud voices the same way they will call Charlie a racist.
He knows it’s not all, we all do but it’s not a small number.
It’s not 3% that’s the issue, think about it, 1 øut of 3 blk małės wíll get løcked-up in theír lífetímes. Let me say that again, 1 out of every 3… and that’s usually not for pėtty crímė, the vast majoríty of that is for seríous/víolent crímes.
This is a culturał íssue and it’s not a small probłem.
I seriously doubt the "vast majority are doing the right thing" claim. Maybe majority don't do any serious crimes but a good percentage are not decent neighbors you want around you. I'm talking about their behavior, not their looks.
Kirk is right up to a point; yes black men are 6% of the population, but not all of that 6% are committing the crimes. It’s much less than that, which makes the reality of the statistical proportionality of so few committing so much violent person crime in this country is pure horror.
He knows it’s not all, we all do but it’s not a small number (from that 6% eíther).

Regardless to the percentage, it is 60% of the murders in America🤯 That blew me away😳 wow😞
Yes. There is a difference between saying that 60% of murders are committed by black men, and saying 6%(black men) commit 60% of murders.
Wow, my comment was removed even though the point of it was to dispel an apparently racist argument. Is this Reddit?
@@GhostSalthe number is actually 1 in 5 now. Not to present disagreement or to dispute your point at all but to infer greater emphasis that a minority of the people are causing the majority of the damage. Even 1 in 5 is too much obviously but part of the problem is that black culture allows the vocal minority to define the identity of the majority. Most black people are hard working law abiding citizens but all people see is hip hop and gang culture as who we are as if we also don't have Doctors, Lawyers, and business owners.
You said it! This is NOT helping black Americans.
Everyone, regardless of race or sex, should be held to the same standards.
LOUDER for those in the back. 😂
There are few black people here where I live. Crimes are committed by a small percentage of people all across the country? I was talking to a magistrate a couple years ago, and he told me that 2% of the population in this county does 95% of the crimes. What that means is, when crimes are done here, the law knows where to go to investigate. The 2% was a cash cow for the court system. The criminals would get arrested, post bail, pay a fine, and turned loose? Two weeks later, the same criminals were in the magistrates office being processed, fined and turned loose again. If you look at the criminals activity across America, the same thing is going on. Everybody wonders why criminals are turned loose only to steal and kill again, and this is why. Crime creates big bucks for the court system. If criminals are in jail, it creates a negative cash flow for the system. When the criminals are turned loose, they are going to get arrested over and over again, and the courts get all the money in fines and court costs. Crime is a huge money machine for the government, and the people are suffering loss as a result of the government getting more and more.
Is math racist to you? You sound like you think math is racist. Show me a black only civilization that is on par with an average white civilization. We're not the same. It's obvious we're not even close to similar but people don't want to say the quiet part out loud. We're not equal, fuckin get over it.
That makes sense but I'm told they have work programs in jail/prison
This is amazing insight or information.
Jojo I hope you know how important your voice is! Keep up the good work!
As a black man, it’s hurts to hear this from another race. There are truths in what he is saying, but he needs to be careful on the delivery as this as it can foster a narrative that covers all black people. I come from a good family that teaches morals and values, and my main objective is to pass that to my children. It’s unfortunate that the black community does little to hold ourselves accountable rather than hear harsh realities from another race. I believe it starts in the home
It hurts white people that have earned to get into the schools they deserve and the jobs they deserve too. Sometimes the truth hurts. He didn't once say it spanned every black person. alive. I don't want to get a job because my skin is dark. I want to earn it. 👍
The most reasonable young man on the internet! You WILL make a difference. Keep it up....Bravo!
Well said and well spoken 👏
You sir are a credit to yourself your family and your race!
