Weeeell the Egyptian example, no, isn't an easy one to make. The entire ruling class (Ptolemy's etc) were actually... white. Alexandrians in general were fair skinned, and all of North Africa at the time was a very different place with fair skinned people spilling over from Greece and Rome.

Really?
The problems of social media? Simple, don't use most social media. You'll feel better regardless if you're human or gem.
Hi Peri

I like how a pair of toddlers are talking about racism as if they have life experience with that shit. They're toddlers they have no idea what racism is even if they've experienced it, they'd just think its normal.
That's sad, more than anything. A child shouldn't have to believe that it's acceptable for people to be bigoted towards them.
that’s why they should know abt it
@@tarantuIas true 😔.
*They also have adult voices too*
I child can tell when someone is a piece of shit kids aren't stupid. That's why plenty of kids don't grow up to be like there POS family's
Actually... In the Steven Universe, well, universe. Stuff like the Nazis, religion and probably slavery (can't vouch on that one) never existed. Cause of the gems supposedly.
Which. Makes these PSAs really weird.
That or it did happen and they did nothing about it
@@just_a_tepig3611 I repeat. While I cannot verify, I'm pretty sure my comment is canon.
@@mythicalthings1796 I don't know, I dont deny it, im just saying one of the two has to be true and the first makes the PSAs make less sense and the other make the gems look like bad people, so there's no good option
Modern PSA's are stupid. I rather stick the ones from 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000 era.
In today's god awful era? It's insanley annoying yet emotionally stupid.
They psa videos prob are not cannon to the series but I like the messages :3
I like how they're finally talking sense instead of Pearl stating mostly false info about who created the light bulb.
Not to mention that Pearl came off as bit of a karen in that PSA.

@@sonicinajarvauntedspeciali7245 Come to think of it, she did sometimes act like karen in some moments of Steven Universe.
oh hi chis
@@johnoconnell5004 yea, she somewhat played the role as Steven's overprotective mother at times. (Changed later tho)
And thats very Karen reminiscent
I find it ironic that they made Steven Universe the show to give out PSAs about racism and bigotry, when the Crystal Gems and the Diamonds have enslaved, killed, tortured or shattered other gems in the process, because they didn't fit the Diamonds view of what it means to be the perfect gem. That's a big ol yikes from me dawg and while I do think their intentions are good, it was handled poorly.
Also I personally hate the term "person of color" it gives me the same energy as "colored person" which is also deemed as racist.
I’ve never liked the term “POC” or “Of Color” I always thought it sounded like “colored” like “colored bathroom” or “colored seating” on a bus, you know, racist?
It's an excuse for the woke crowd to call people colored.
@@sopsop7722 exactly
Wtf are you talking about? You all really smoke that clear on the reg

The way the Amethyst short phrases its message can also be misinterpreted by children. They go against the idea of the "colorblind" narrative and ask the audience to "see color!", wich can be interpreted as "people of different colors are snowflakes and need to be treated more carefully".
I doubt it would be. But maybe they’ll make a new continuation and clarification.
the way I interpret the whole adding random colors like purple to the "I accept everyone" speech is that I see all skin colors as equals but even if you were not a normal skin color, like purple, I'd still accept you as an equal.
If someone's skin is purple, they're probably dying.

Yeah thats how it is meant to be taken however that isnt always how it is taken.
Honestly I don't get the prejudice plus power argument. North America for example is pretty diverse with hispanics and black people and Asians and whites. Some of which, like myself, are mixed race. Honestly, if you have a motive against one of a certain race, you are a racist.

Also, AGAIN... the Crystal Gems WERE ACTUAL racists in this show as they looked down on Humans...
Humans also look down on animals too you know.
@@redd-qh4xn But we can’t be racist to animals other than us…. That’s the difference.
Only Pearl did but she got over it.
@@justanormalinvestigator2640 well it called speciesism, we think we're superior to others animals because we have technology and so we discriminate them because of that reason plus we have to feel entitled to control everything.
Speciesism, racism, and sexism it all the same.
Not rascist. Speciesphobic
Wait, Amethyst was made on Earth, yes most gems come from the Gem homeworld, but she's literally from Earth, from the planet earth! Of all the original CGs she is technically the only one that isn't an alien but that information doesn't seem to cross the minds of these weirdos.
No she is an alien she’s non human and is a gem it doesn’t matter where gems are made they could be made on multiple planets and still not belong but only to home world
She’s made on earth, but her biology is alien.

There are other characters working their asses off to provide for their families, Greg...I won't say he didn't provide for Steven before the gems took over but... IDK it's like the 2 ppl you know shouldn't have a child had one.

Usually aliens are used to create an allegory for racism as a concept, so as an allegory they work when they're kept specifically as a more general description of the concept or any other type of oppression based on people being different. In fiction things are kept as allegories and as more abstract ideas so they can related to different types of ideas and perspectives, not just a specific one. The gems don't work as allegories for racism towards black people in america specifically, but they can work as a metaphor for how people see different types of people, how they might fear those who have power, how people meeting different cultures can feel alienating for everyone involved, etc.
Though I'm just speaking generally here about the overall idea of using vague and abstract ideas in fiction to work as allegories for multiple different topics. We have loads of different cultures that have different viewpoints, so people are bound to view these ideas from loads of different aspects. And these viewpoints constantly shift too as time moves on. The more timeless you want a work to be, the less specific it should be. There is a difference between talking about how different types of political structures work and that some orange man is bad. The former will most likely be much more nuanced while the latter is.. exactly what you think it is.
Homophobia is present in every community
That's honestly very sad.
@@johnoconnell5004
Yep
It just doesn't always take the same form in each community.
Even the LGBT community.
As long as the possibility of a negative option is present there will always be at least 1 person who shifts towards that side. Wether it be as simple as if some person necessarily did something wrong or extreme as can murder be justified. No matter how bad it makes a person look for thinking that there will always be at least 1 supporter for the opposite side.

This thing about the POC's is like why I hate people calling *"EVERYONE WHO IS NOT AMERICAN OR CANADIAN"*: "latinos" when the correct term us hispanic people. The term "latinos" translates to: someone from Latin America. (Btw, latin america is spanish for South America). So I dont like it when they use that terms for Mexicans or people of central america (like me, I'm a white central american). Mexicans are north American, yet nobody refers to them that way, same with us central americans. Just say Hispanic people and I'll be cool. But oh, no, we are going to put everyone below our sacred hamburger loving and maple eating lands in tge same basket of "latinos". Im hispanic, not south american.
(Also, Brazilians dont speak spanish. So they are not hispanics. Shoutout to any brazilians reading this.)
...si
I was taught it simple meant girl & guy (or both girl & guy given the context), so, it varies I guess, depending on country, language variant, and other factors.
They are mostly interchangeable, so most don't see it as an issue. Although everyone would rather be referred to using their country, but that isn't practical.
I wanna clear up something to people who think the PSA's are hated because "propaganda and pushing a agenda".
Most people are not mad at the messages of the PSA's. But how the message was portrayed. This can be said for the entirety of Steven universe and why it gets so much criticism. No one is mad Steven universe tried to tackle War/Genocide/Abusive relationships/PTSD. They're mad because of how poorly they were going about them.
Oh, what's this? War can have extremes on both sides causing both to make drastic decisions. Let's just bubble the one person who knew this and devalue her while praising Rose for doing essentially the same thing. Oh, the diamonds are genocidal tyrants? Let's just give all a 3-minute pep talk each about how genocide is bad. Oh, Lapis and Jasper were in an abusive relationship? Let's just make Lapis look like the victim despite both being in the wrong. Oh, Steven has PTSD? Let's just make him act like a jerk for half the season with no repercussions for his toxic behavior because his trauma excuses it. Do you see the point?
Steven universe of all shows is the worst to be tackling racism when other tough subjects have been thought out horridly under their writing. Thus making people, not like it.
agreed
Well, the reason people are saying that they are spreading an agenda is because antiracism is an ideology that promotes this kind of mindset and since they spread biased misleading information to the audience, that is to be considered propaganda. How they portrayed their messages is definitely poorly written and it shows that they don't really know much of what they're talking about but as long as they're promoting anti-racism, that's all that matters in the end.
This is a good point! Steven Universe fumbles serious issues and treat their non-white characters as accessories for the main character (who is white).
We Bare Bears, in contrast, is primarily focused on being alienated by society. It was made through the perspective of someone who had to experience racism and knows how to properly convey it.
I don't know enough about Craig of the Creek to go into detail about it, but I'm surprised they're not using the show which has a black main character to talk about black experiences.
@@TuesdaysArt I cannot express how mad I am that didn't use characters like Connie or the Pizza's to talk about this message instead of the crystal gems.
My brain is slowly growing tumours as I listen to the PSAs more
Nitpick: Gems don't choose to have similarities to humans through shapeshifting. Shapeshifting is unsustainable and reforming is limited. Amethyst wants to be taller, but she can't be tall for very long. Similarities to humans are unexplained.
The same ancestral being from with came humans(a genetic aspect of reproduction) and gems(artificial reproduction through technology)

The art style is clearly aimed at a six and younger audience. So why make multi sentence long philosophical questions about how to treat people of different skin color?
6 and younger would not get the message, 7-12 year olds would get bored by he standing around and childish singing, while not getting the META aspect of the filming of a PSA, 13-16 would not even bother with the art style and feel talked down to and adults would just see this as patronizing and wasting time.

@@Frazier16 I remember Arthur and Sesame Street both handled these issues better...they didn't hold back with their message yet explained it in a way a child could understand. I feel like these PSAs are being vague on purpose because they don't want to ruffle too many feathers.

@@TuesdaysArt there’s even shows for older kids that tackle the subject in a straightforward, understandable manner. there’s static shock, and i specifically remember the mlk episode of the proud family being a great example of telling kids about history and racism in a clear manner, without dumbing it down. i guess companies just don’t seem to think kids are all that smart anymore
FINALLY MY ANCESTOR LEWIS LATIMER HAS BEEN SAID, I’ve been waiting for this
Hohoohohoh
Never said this on the other video and I'm lazy as hell. Congrats on getting your old channel back
uh... are we forgetting the literal Human farm the Crystal empire had? They practically (in there own universe) Created racism before humanity did and did it to humanity as well. The fact the gems choose to ignore there history just makes me think the people who wrote this PSA didn't bother to re-watch the show (To be fair I wouldn't).
I don't think the Amethyst PSA was meant to criticize the use of a fictional species to speak of racism, I think the point was that you should go against the colour blind mentality and SEE colour, which is... yikes!
Should probably put a million quotation marks around "better"
Using the term "people of color " is pretty much the same as saying "colored people", which is super cringe .
I'm beginning to think the point of the PSAs isn't really for the message themselves since the contradict a lot, but a way to desperately keep this property around.
I’ve always had a problem with “racism=prejudice+power”.
If this is the case, then any POC will be racist at some point. If you accept this definition but don’t think POCs can be racist, that means that you either think POCs will never have institutional power, which defeats the point of fighting for their rights, or you are using the definition as an excuse to claim racism towards white people can’t exist.
I understand that it is much less common and usually not systemic, but racism towards white people absolutely exists.
i am somehow used to and not used to your regular voice. i don't know how to explain how that works
I prefer the old PSA's from the 70s, 80s, 90, and early 2000 era. Just like Oldschool Toonami from 1997 to 2008
I'm kinda surprised you didn't go into the whole "see color, be anti-racist tagline" because that's the part that's really damning to the first PSA shown, it's otherwise pretty tame if cringy but by saying to see color they're agitating for racial salience which just makes racism worse, it's precisely that line of thinking that sent race relations down the shitter and keeps us from ever truly reaching a post racial society! Secondly the term anti-racist doesn't mean calling out racism when it occurs like it sounds like at first glance, but rather it's another langauge creole for redistribution of resources based on race, aka Racial Communism, it's another of those damned word games these degenerates like to play like with their made up Prejudice + Power definition of Racism.

I feel like you should switch the roles with the robot voice. You should make your videos with the robot voice, then add the unlisted video without the robot voice.
I disagree. Making the more accessible videos the default make it easier for people to get into his videos.
People after watching this: man this robot hates purple people.
all I got was "Well actually..."
That one psa with the Car crashing and crushing the kids came outta Left field
The Garnet and Pearl PSA are pure cringe!
The other people of colour I think include white people aswell. I mean yeah white is just as much of a colour as black so why can't it be included.
Well, white isn't really a colour, it is a combination of all the colours although I must confess that "people of colour" is indeed a weird term to indicate people who aren't white.
@@dandydandelion5502 I mean you could make the same statement about being black though. Black like white is a shade. So why should we treat it different.
These ads just seem like they're taking the criticism and then strawmaning those criticisms or at least take them in bad faith just to reinforce their own, biased and bigoted message that they're spreading to children.
Saying these ads are getting better is true, but they still aren't _good_ given the how they started way out of left field. It's like graduating from Terrible to Bad. Progress, but still no good.
When your so early it has a single view
Happened to me.
Idk if it was a bug or if I was the actual same view LOL
I prefer Mr. Enter's take on all Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst's PSAs, especially Amethyst's. He did a video talking about a bunch of PSAs. Towards the end, he talks about the SU ones except Greg's. He questioned who was comparing aliens to other races and why is this worth dedicating a PSA to instead of the actual problems concerning racism. He also found the message of See Color to be extraordinarily problematic which it really is. Seeing color is racism. Police brutality and keeping black people in poverty came from those who "saw color." The end goal of fighting racism is a world where we don't judge based on skin color.
I actually heard responses saying Amethyst's PSA came from a SU fan who was bullied over something related to how Amethyst is racially coded. I asked who the fuck would know that outside of those very people who bullied that person. The PSA isn't presented like it's only meant for certain people to hear. It's presented as a message for everyone.
Well if there would be no more racism it would be a bad thing actually since there is no diversity and conflict without these you become soft since you are now attached to become lazy and you justify with your nationality.

2:22 this is exactly how I feel about pragerU, a lot of the time its a good message, but the way they do it is usually insane. Honestly, I feel like when you have this situation where the message is good, just the actual way its carried out isnt, there's more to it, some kind of alterior motive or agenda at play.
How do you mean? Now don't get me wrong, I don't always agree with PragerU, but I think a lot of their videos with the little animations are usually fine.
Though, their skits are a bit cringe worthy I suppose...
@@leirawhitehart1236 well if youve ever tried to follow the logic they put out justifying the message they have... Idk you often find leaps in logic, and holes in how they explain it. But like, I agree with the premis with pragerU a lot of the time, and yet the way they explain that message is always off.
@@Yipper64 I wouldn't say always, but I can say that perhaps the way they present their message isn't in the most convincing way to the people they're trying to reach out to, (that being young perhaps liberal or somewhat liberal individuals), and it can sometimes come off as more preaching to the choir I suppose.
However, that's not what you're talking about here, clearly.
So, if you don't mind, perhaps give me an example that you find leaps logic in their videos? Because I haven't watched all their videos, so you may have a point that I simply don't know because I haven't seen it.
Would like to see what you're talking about, because they seem mostly fine to me.
Yeah like on certain topics on racism, but then when the topic of Jewish heritage or the Israeli conflict came up I’m like “WOOOAAAAAHHH THERE BUDDY take several steps WAAY waaay back! Pull the brakes noooow!”

Isn’t that because the crystals had slaves as well?
I think an alien invasion would end racism. Black and white team up to fight against green.
“Why allegories for discrimination don’t work.”
*X-Men sweats nervously.*
Yah, as a black person I've never liked when people say you can't be racist to white people, and I've heard the argument that technically white isn't a race so you can't be racist to white people, and while technically yes, i don't like calling bad acts like that prejudice instead of racism because our brains literally don't hold the two words to the same weight and the situation will be automatically taken less seriously,
like how articles where a teacher has a sexual incounter with under age students, if the teachers a man and the students a girl, the articles will say "teacher rapes student" but if the teachers a woman and the students a boy the articles say " teacher had sex with student",
Because the victim is a miner, bothe statements are true but because they don't use the word "rape" our brains simply don't perceive it as bad even tho it's the same, and this mentality has led to society as a whole taking rape twords boys and men significantly less serious, I think we should take it seriously no matter what.
It's the same with white people, like the example that jar gave, that was a horrible act that should be labeled a hate crime and taken just as seriously as any other, and when people that are affected by this stuff see people not taking it as seriously it will make them feel wronged and will create more devision and other wise reasonable people might be on some "well if you don't care about us, then why should we care about you" type beat, and trying to convert them to allyship will be significantly harder, so I think if we just bite the bullet and say "yes you can be racist to white people" things would progress faster.
And in general I don't like trying to make someone feel bad about a feature they have no control over, so I personally avoide using slurs twords anyone including white people.
However, I feel we can't ignore the grater context of the situation, like I said i don't personally use slurs twords anyone, but I don't hold slurs twords white people to the same standard, it's like making fun of a rich person who dropped their food vs a poor person who dropped their food, it sucks for both people but it means significantly more to the por person than to the rich person so I'm much more hesitant to laugh in the case of the poor person than the rich person.
And some acts that are considered racist for one group aren't and shouldn't be considered racist for others, FX all black colleges, vs all white colleges, I don't consider an all black college racist because with our current system, black people are at a significant disadvantage compared to white people, so trying to give them some aid in that aspect makes perfect sense, yes there are pore white people but on average they are going to have a much easier time compared to a black person with the same resources available to them due to our current system.
I would consider an all white college racist because the point of an all black college is to decrease the disparity between the average black person and the average white person by lifting up black people to the same playing field, But if white people are already on average at the top, than it would only increase the gap, so what other purpose would it surve besides creating more devision?
ideally we would take all slurs seriously and yoir race wouldn't be a factor in anything like college, but we first have to get rid of the disparities between each group, but we simply aren't there yet.
@7 Time UA-cam Outlaw your looking at this whole situation as if it were in a vacuum, white and Asian people being discriminated against when it comes to college on it's own sounds horrible (and when it comes to Asians I think it is) when you look at the reason why , although I don't particularly agree with it, it becomes much more reasonable,
think about it like a massive race between white people, Asian people, and Black people (obviously this logic would apply to other groups, for simplification sake, this is what I'm going with) where instead of everyone starting at the same distance from the finish line, you're education determines how close or far you are from it and once times up whoever made it through goes on and whoever doesn't has to try some other time.
That sounds fair enough until you factor in the fact that white people inflicted a massive amount of harm on the Asian and black communities, causing availability and quality of education for them to be significantly lower in comparison to White people, because of that and modern day prejudices, both Asian and black people start significantly further from the finish line, Black people even more so because the harm inflicted was comparitvly more severe.
Luckily (or unluckily seeing as how it can be at a severe detriment to mental health) for Asians, Asian culture has a far more diligent approach to education, meaning that Asian families tend to prioritize and hyper focus on education far more than either White or Black people, which means the gap between White and Asian people is greatly diminished in that aspect, not to a equal extent but a notable extent.
Obviously a lot more white and Asian people are going to pass, and every persen that passes helps to improve their community, better community = better education which means higher chance at success for the next gen, and since Black people start so far down the track compared to white and Asian people, obviously no wear near as many are making it through, which means they can't improve their community anywhere near as much, which means the next gen would have barely moved there position on the track, we're as Wite and Asian people have greatly improved their position, creating an even bigger gap.
like I said i don't think it's the best solution but when looking at the whole picture it makes a lot more sense and will more than likely do more good than harm, although it maybe minimal.
I do think it's significantly less justified in the case of Asian's though, because there making it just because there Coulter is just better at studying, we're as white people are making it due to the massive handicap they inflicted on literally every other community.
and with the all black schools being racist, if they have racist behaviors or are making racist remarks then obviously i condemn them for that, but like I said, it simply being an all black college, wen all factors are realized, it doesn't necessitate that the schools as an implementation is racist.
And with white people making up the majority of people in poverty in the US, you're making the "but more white people get killed by police" argument, yes more white people get killed by police, but that's just because their are more white people in the US, 236 million white people compared to 41 million black people, that's over 5× more white people compared to black people in the US, so obviously they would be killed more by the police because there's just more of them to be killed,
But when you actually look at the stats, black people are 3× more likely to be killed by police, in other words if 100 white people get pulled over by a cop, and 20 of the 100 people get killed, if you put 100 black people through the same scenario, ruffly 60 of the 100 people will be killed.
also i just wanted to add, I avoided saying "systematic racism" in the first comment because I feel it gives off the vibe of being intentional, while I do think there is still plenty of intentional systematic racism in our system, I am not educated enough to say what and where exactly it is aside from the police and job name discrimination,
But I opted out to just saying it's the system because it seems more passive, witch it is, something doesn't have to be intentional in order to be systemic, infact I would argue the biggest contribution to systematic racism is unintentional prejudices that get perpetuated and go un checked because it's unintentional and mostly everyone does it and just doesn't notice.
Honestly, I find the whole concept of whiteness in general to be "problematic" (for a lack of a better term). Whiteness was just a metric for what people were "superior" over other people. Irish people and Italian people used to not be considered white, but they're considered white today. "Whiteness" is arbitrary. It lumps together people from vastly different cultures all because they fit a standard some racist came up with centuries before they were born.
I don't know if I'm wording myself in the best way, I apologize if I come across the wrong way.
@7 Time UA-cam Outlaw if you're not looking at this in a vacuum then you must be ignorant, or are making Purposefully ignorant statements.
You say I'm clinging to a backwards mentality were we punishe innocent people for the wrong doings of others, but you seem to not realize our society is built off that "backwards mentality" in the form of some laws,
FX covid restrictions were significantly more severe due to dumb asses not wanting to were a mask, because of their wrong doing, innocent people were punished by being forced to cancel their trip to Disney land, not being able to have a big birthday party, or going shopping at the mall cuz it's two crowded, these people were law abiding citizens who were a mask but they were punished because of the wrong doings of others, it sounds unfair but the restrictions were put in place because it seemed like something that would aid in solving the problem,
It's the same with the college admissions situation, just on a much more massive and impactful scale, like I said I don't personally think it's a great idea, but some people think it could aid in the solution to the problem of the massive financial racial disparity in the US.
Then you say race means nothing and it's only relevant when we want it to be but seam to completely ignore the fact that we are treated differently based on our race weather we want to or not, in an ideal world race would be nothing but a descriptor , but in the world we live in,
in the US, Asians are treated like sex objects and novelties, Hispanics are treated as parasites, Native Americans are treated like fairy tales and mascots, middle easterners, are treated like terrorists, black people are treated like a threat at all times, and white people are treated like they all have a superiority complex. Not to mention the fact that each community has massive financial disparities that massively impact their life experience from the jump and that people are actively killed because of race.
It would be nice to stop talking about race the way we do but it impacts everyone's lives in such a massive way, it's impossible right now.
You say my race analogy doesn't work because there are records of oppressed groups becoming stronge and thriving,
1. My analogy was focused specifically on college and education in the US and the validity of the college admissions situation, not the overall hardships of the community's, so it works fine for what I was talking about
But since you brought it up 2. If you're point is we have no excuse because other groups have made it, you have to realize that the only way to do that is through claiming your own land and resources and building a community you' re self, or through war.
In the case of black people we've tried the former, in the US post slavery, we had a thriving town that we built our selves and It was very rich and had good education.
But of course it couldn't last, not because of the fault of the residence, but because the white people at the time just didn't like to see us thriving, and you know the quote, and if you don't now you do, "white woman are the biggest threat to black lives",
so somebody accused a black man in the town of assaulting a white woman, i don't know if the accusation was real or fake, but I do know that somehow that accusation led to them sending in military plains to burn down the whole city, like I said I don't know if the accusation was real or not (doubt it) but even if it was, do you really think it was worth burning down an entire city?
Either way, obviously the survivors had know we're to go and couldn't afford to leave the country so they were forced to go back to the racist system that was geared against them, to survive.
(look up black Wallstreet if you don't believe me)
And when it comes to war, not only are we not in the position to do so but a large majority of black people generally don't hate white people nore do we want revenge, we just want to be treated equally and have equal opportunity, not better, so obviously a race war just isn't what we need or want,
and this goes for the African tribe analogy, if the two tribes are equal in the end, yes it would be wrong because it's not about revenge it's about being equal, and black people on average have a much worse life experience in the US compared to white people, so if this wasn't the case I would say the the college admissions thing is 100% wrong instead of just about 65%.
you say that i think that white people are the boggy man and caused all problems, and that at one point we all suffered,
I understand white people didn't create every problem, i don't think white people are particularly evil or anything, honestly I think if any race were in the position that white people were in at the time that led to all of this they would have done all the Same horrible acts, they just so happened to be in power.
But the fact of the matter is, in the US, the actions of white people have caused a majority of the hardships that POC face in the US,
they have, committed literal genocide of the Native American people and reduced them to 1% of the population in their own country,
they created the model minority myth in order to separate the Asian communities from other POC'S and then fetishized them to hell, treating ther women like nothing but sex objects and them as a whole as just a novelty,
and for black people, during slavery, people made a group called the slave patrol that they would use to recapture and torment run away slaves, long story short that group is the origin of modern day police,
now I doubt very many officers are aware of this history not even the blatantly racist ones, but it doesn't seem unlikely that a group that has origins in the sole purpose of oppressing black people would have some residual prejudice twords black people, like the 3× statistic i brought up in my other comment, obviously since they treat black people as a much higher threat than everyone it continues to heavily negatively impact our community by making our incarceration rate much higher including wrongfull conviction and and much harsher unnecessary harassment that leads to police brutality which leads to more wrongfull killings by police to black people,
the also did red lining witch made it very difficult for our community's to develop financially, leaving many of our communities por, the also heavily focused on our community's disproportionately during the war on drugs, and giving us far higher sentencing than white people for the same crimes, obviously someone in prison can't help improve the community,
(Other POC that I both mentioned and didn't mention obviously have had it far worse than my statement has portrayed, it's out of ignorance and I apologize, I'm black so obviously I am far more aware the hard ships we have and do deal with.)
In other words i don't think white people are the boggy man, but we POC have been fucked from every orifice and then left in a horrible state by white people simply because we have different skin color or features, and all the fucking they did to POC left them in a very wealthy position in every aspect, so i don't think it's unreasonable to say that some of the criticism they get is warranted especially since there are people that will try and deny and downplay the hardships white people have and still do coughs, and i don't think it's unreasonable to say that their community as a hole can take a small hit to help us out since it won't be detrimental to them and since they put us in this situation.
I'd like to also add, yes I am aware that the hardships POC face isn't 100% one sided, there is definitely somethings we bring onto ourselves,
FX once again I am black so I can say for us our crime rate really is higher then other communities, not by the massive margin racists will make it out to be, but by a notable extent, and when I see things like the whole PPP lone situation, it jenuinly hurts to see cuz I know it isn't helping our situation in any way shape or form,
But once again it's kind of hard to acknowledge this with out acknowledging the fact that income inequality has a direct corilation with crime rates in communities, and we were put in this poverus state by a third party who hated us for just existing.-
I don't see color!
I'm missing rods and cones in my eyes.
it's not saying that these people who make psas do it in bad faith. "It distracts from real racism" =/= "It was MADE to distract from actual racism". The PSA is just saying that it does that.
Unsure who to ship JAR with... Rosey the Robot or T-800.
Fuck it JAR X RoboCop is my official new ship.
Robot’s design just makes him look like he’s done with everyone’s shit.
That’s not bad, that’s just us.
Show this shit to extra credits lmao
And now he's gonna die to Star Butterfly
Aaaaa I’m waiting for that too! You think star got the advantage?
@@HazzyFcrazy Ye its Star level vs Uni
@@yulthedoof6907 Star Butterfly is raciust to Marco ebcause he sint a monster., he is privilege colonial B.I.P.
Hey Rob (can I call you rob?) what DID Steven universe do right in your eyes? I’m actually curious
It’s refreshing to hear someone criticizing these PSAs without foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog with fear of Communists taking over our culture.
Do they get the difference between race and color I mean if you make fun because of their color the maybe you are color judgemental (made up word) if you hate someone because of their routes then you are racist I mean people with the same color can be racist towards people with the same color but diffrent origin like example:that german guy is harassing that person because he is irish
I thought POC meant people who had brown or darker skin but then I found out they included all Asians and then I just got confused
I think the lack of Robot voice makes it easier to connect with your videos
???
Amethyst actually isn't technically an alien. She was created on earth, so by definition, she's a native of Earth. And therefore, she's not an alien. I suppose she's from an alien origin. But that's like two Mexicans having a child in America. By definition, that child is American.
Could they not think of something better fir the amethyst psa then her and the two kids hanging out and then just being "pay attention to the fact im an alien!". Its reasonable to look into color as the reason as an act of violence and possible hate crime, but just hanging out and having to bring race and such into everything doesn't seem like a healthy way to live life.
Whether or not you have the robot voice, your videos are still great to watch!
(Also, congrats on getting your old channel back! 🎉👏🙂)
7:00 I thought you were going to critique how she said "other people of color experience other kinds of racism" because the wording implies that being racist towards one group is different from being racist to another group. (Idk if I worded myself the best but that's the best way I could describe it). Personally, I would have gone with "Other people of color experience racism differently." This acknowledges how different groups of people have different experiences and does this without being so divisive. I could be completely off base and I apologize if this comment comes across as ignorant.
The fact that JAR worked twice as much to make people happy because people missed the robot voice just proves that he listens to the community
Why are there still Steven Universe PSA's even though the show end about a year ago?
If they tried making these PSA's with Teen Titans Go! characters, than even less people would take them seriously.
Idk:/enither and an mostly over this show a bit.😅
@@platypusboy0911 it would be good if they did it with K.O or Craig
@@cup3872 Craig of the Creek (or even We Bare Bears) seems like a much better fit for these subjects, but Steven Universe is the more recognizable brand so I guess that's why they chose it. Granted, Craig of the Creek would be more recognizable if Cartoon Network did a better job at promoting it but they're pretty biased towards some shows over others if their scheduling is any indication.
I’ll be honest here.
Yes, these PSAs are cheesy, but since when have PSAs not been? It’s hard to make one that’s both short and teaches the problem. As long as they’re trying to give a good message, I think it’s okay.
He sounds awfully like a good Christian white boy
lol
Racism is prejudice based on race. What people talk about when they say it's prejudice and power are the terms discrimination, persecution, and oppression. The crime you mentioned can be considered a hate crime, which is a form of persecution, but that doesn't make it less bad because it is not oppression. Really people need to stop trying to downplay the suffering of someone else because it doesn't reach a certain threshold. Treating pain like a high score is a good way to push people from any kind of empathy. After all why would you feel sorrow for others if you are told your own pain is worthless, even when you are drowning in it? Often times people relate to others through their own experiences, so their attitude about their experiences will shape their attitudes about the experiences of others. So what do these people think is going to happen when they keep trying to downplay the horrible experiences of others based on the groups they are a part of?
Can't we get PSAs about not taking drugs and don't talk to strangers?
These PSAS are kinda creepy ngl
4:23 Captain K nuckles makes more sense now
It’s his whiskers, not his skin lol
I had to read Eats Shoots and Leaves for school. It was great, because it was just a recommendation. Didn’t have to write a report about it.
My wife Amethyst has to make her money somehow.
Wait, so you're telling me Just A Robot isn't a robot?
Oh it's Steven Universe (Squidward: Fu--ture!)
I can't believe we come so far! Steven Universe (Squidward: Fu-ture) Here we are! Steven Universe (Squidward: Fu-ture!)
I physically can't unhear Squidward when I hear that song. But yeh, it sucks that a show previously about accepting people's differences and looking past the destructive nature of gems has regressed into just talking about "human problems" the steven universe future show is just less interesting it's avatar the last airbender all over again.
They did nothing to help? I guess you could say the crystal gems did....nazi that coming.
love you dude:)
the SU PSA saga continues
...no, no they're not.
Amethyst being mentioned Vietnam flashback
I personally like it without the robot voice to be honest :)
Of course you can crystal gems And the diamonds and homeworld gems black people. The namakians are black sooo
Sorry for the lack of knowledge before. Thanks for both options for the voice. I know it takes work to put up both...
I think people tend to strawman American schools maybe my schools is different but we learned about black cowboys and all that they we didn't have history whitewashed
This sure is gonna be a perfectly not biased video on the amazing Just A Robot channel about Steven Universe PSA's.
Also I wish y'all a good day.
(HUGE DIFFERENCE) Louis invented the modern version of the light bulb (unless you live in Europe, does are banned for the cost efficient ones)
These arguments are so logical that they could only come from a robot- oh.... right. /joke
Sound like space klan to me
I was joking about the racism cause ya know the whole diamonds being more or less space nazis
You should quotations on *better* bud.
I’m a leftist and stuff like homophobia in the black community is a serious problem and needs to be addressed. It’s not racist to point that fact out.
keep the human voice man, is robotic enough for some reason
What a coincidence I just finished the last PSA video. :]
Ok but how do you know they didn't free people from slavery
Ok but they're kids they wouldn't be talking that way
"See color. Be racist."
