Ok Professor Hunter you did that!!! Beautiful and thank you. The new generation of adults now and some of us more seasoned in age from the prior generations are NOT having what they continue to “try” to serve us. Thank you again. Please continue to steer our ship I. The right direction for us all 🙏🏽

Oh Dr Black and Professor Hunter thank you. You are so right I remembered the people complained to Moses 😧. God did provide for them. I have to remind myself 😉. Amen
Love the conversation and Miss Rebecca never answered the question. I hope she does refect on it and calls back. That is the question America needs to ask and never will because the answer is known. The system isn't broken-it is working for those who set the course. To answer the question would surely change the path.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up the child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Dr. Hunter, I was waiting for her to say that's the way she was raised, it's what she was told, what she believed to be true concerning her outer shell and her race. This was great!❤ Good conversation, a question that could be considered by all. GOD bless!
Nothing wrong with embracing your ancestry. Your heritage. But your race? Something that was made up? Id even say being proud to be “black” doesn’t make sense But The generational African diaspora in the US has shaped a distinct ethnicity due to segregation They should be proud of their ancestors and their ethnicities
White just like black is a meaningless category based on phenotype and even then, the phenotype varies widely even within race e.g. a "white" Norwegian looks different from a "white" Greek and there are lots of different cultures/ethnic groups with different languages, religions, etc. Then you have other hodge-podge categories like Latino/Hispanic which cuts across races or Arab, which seems to be a mixture of races. It's just that being able to self-identify and be identified as others based on phenotype as "white" gives you an advantage.
White lady here. I have noticed a really concerning trend of (my fellow) white people who have tons of energy for advocacy when it pertains to feminism or the lgbtqia community or gun violence or advocating for people with disabilities. I do advocacy work with a ton of them. (Advocacy is my full-time job) but when it comes to anti racism or issues of combating white supremacy, they immediately shut down. Even the ones i watched go to Black Lives Matter marches hit a limit when it comes to certain issues especially self reflection & admitting to their own racism & bias which is required in order to be actively anti racist. 1 example is Palestine. They had tons of energy for Ukraine a white country which had a fraction of the deaths & none of them were denied water & food,they never had all their hospitals bombed etc but when it comes to an actual genocide of brown people by white zionists its crickets. The amount of FAKE advocates, speakers social justice supporters is mind boggling. Thank you for your channel btw UA-cam just suggested it to me & im enjoying listening & learning!
I think Doc Rivers said it best..."Black people love America, Yet America doesn't love Black people back." They love us to entertain, They love us to do their work. But, They would just as soon discard us if they could. But then...There would be nobody to clean their houses, Raise their kids, Sing songs, Entertain them on TV or ball field.
That was a perfect example of people looking out the window and refusing to look in a mirror......BTW Rebecca if you see this Stop tokenizing your "Black Friends" Learn Thy Self!
You can't encourage people to call a “talk show “ and refuse to let someone talk. Hear them out! Can't learn when you dismiss the caller with a Splenda tone and “It's my show”!
"White privilege" to me, means being used. Privilege is a right or immunity granted as a peculiar benefit, advantage, or favor. Anything that is granted can be taken away. Anything that is granted, has been granted by someone else. “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson Greed doesn't care about those that have less. Greed says they have less because they didn't work hard enough or because they don't deserve. Greed makes excuses for those who have more. Greed justifies having more, by saying you are somehow favored or something about you is deserving of more, even if it is off the backs of those that work for you, voluntarily or involuntarily.
Race, the greatest lie of all time, and how do you define or what does it mean to be the other label called "black" is it a skin tone, heritage, or ancestry or based on particular experience?
Straight out the gate. What I think she's trying to say is White or White adjacent. We all can tell who uses standard network english which often is laced with Whiteness.
@@KarenHunterShow Yes, it goes back to that whole "talking proper" issue that auspicious Black people get accused of by Whites (and Black folks but for different reasons). "Proper for who" was always the question. Who was it in comparison to, and for what purpose? Because of racism, Black and White people are in a constant battle of comparison. White people think they own "proper" english (despite what England has to say about it) and try to gatekeep everyone else based on it. It's a tool of meaurement that they use to rank intelligence, and the Black intelligencia (and the like) try to dispel that myth through the same rubric. That was why that caller assumed that you knew she was White based on her voice. She was intuitively measuring/separating herself out based on how "she" (vis-a-vis, proper White people) speak and how "you" (vis-a-vis, Black people speak). Right or wrong a lot of us know White folks set that awful standard, and many of us are practicing that same song and dance, in order to gain access. Its why code-switching is such a thing. Deep down, we know. Sorry so long, btw.
@@KarenHunterShow When large numbers of people share similar SNPs, they form distinct groups which manifest themselves as “races.” Human DNA is made up of three major components: Y-chromosomes, mtDNA (which is inherited unchanged through the male and female lines), and autosomal DNA. When these three components are plotted according to their geographic locations, they dramatically divide into seven distinct regions. Each region clusters according to genetic similarity-the classic definition of race. This science of genetic clustering is used by all the “home DNA testing kit” companies to provide “ancestry and origin” results. It provides unequivocable proof of the biological existence of race, and definitively destroys any claims that race is a “social construct.”
@@KarenHunterShow This work builds on the seven regions reality by probing deeper and revealing the exact genes and SNPs-by name and location in the chromosomes-which determine the physical differences we see before us as racial types. Then the process whereby these genes are unequally distributed among the seven major regions is discussed-and how this differentiated genetic distribution has created different races. In this way, the genes which are responsible for eye color, hair color, hair texture, skull shape, facial features, skeletal structure-and finally psychology and intelligence-are all individually named, leaving no doubt as to the genetic basis of race.
@@shoot4thesingle you clearly don't want to accept or understand that race (white, black, etc.) has zero to do with race (HUMAN). where people are from (COUNTRY of origin) has nothing to do with being WHITE. what is the white "race"...and why are you on here defending this so hard. Would you rather be wrong and told you are right? Would that make you feel good? If so, go with God.
White is not a ethnicity. White in the english language is understood to be affirming of everything favorable. White means purity. Europeans refers to themselves as white because its more affirming of their power, divinity and superiority. They did not call themselves white based on their complexion because they are more pink than white.
How does one answer the question; "What does it mean to be white?" on a 14 minute video? As a 68 year old white female with most of my life behind me, I was just wondering what I would say in that situation... holy mackerel, where to start? I do know one thing though that the caller doesn't. You sure can't tell what color someone is by talking with them on the telephone.
Start there...that last part. And then ask yourself why are you "white." It's fine to land on being white, but you MUST know how you got there. Know the history and be able to have a discussion about it. Most don't know. And it's the ignorance that is killing us.
U describe the privilege of whiteness your skin is white but social construct leans towards the whiteness and that’s attached to all different types of racism the social construct part is the classism !! Example your walking down the streets no biggie, black people walking down the streets who knows what might jump off that’s the differences in the context of the construct!!
There is a plant commonly called “wild rice" (Zizania palustris) that Native Americans in what is now the north-central US and adjacent Canada harvested. In fact, they still harvest it; they have the exclusive legal right to harvest wild populations (although non-Natives can cultivate wild rice for harvest).

We are evolving and using the term lighter or dark skinned brothers and sisters. Asking the question what does white mean to you, is genius.🧐

You're right, it makes no sense. And you're also right that Blackness has been shaped (out of defense) into something powerful.
