    You are not privileged, you are just being taken advantage of. It is ignorant to brush aside racism, but this case has nothing to do with it. Yes, the cop who held down Floyd should done more to help him, but at the same time Floyd shouldn’t be held up as some hero of the community. He was a terrible person before his death. He didn’t deserve to die but he surely does not deserve to be a role model to millions of black children. Race has nothing to do with it. It all comes down to character and Floyd has shown his true colors. There were trace amounts of drugs in his system upon his death which most likely was the cause of death. Even if the cop held him down with his knee on Floyd’s neck it wasn’t the sole reason he passed. Floyd was speaking very clearly the entire time and was shown resisting the cops so it doesn’t take a lot to prove that Floyd was in perfect shape and wasn’t under threat by the cops. It was his own poor choice to take drugs.
    There are countless other racially based topics of black Americans being harassed by the true racist folks of this country. Those are the stories that should be told, not Floyd’s. We shouldn’t remember a criminal. We should remember the true members of our community and country who have contributed so much.
    As an Asian American it is hard for me to watch so many of you white people bow down to the oppressing media who call you privileged. You don’t have any. Just because you’re white doesn’t mean your any better than blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc. The media is the true enemy here. They are the true racists of this country who want to divide us through a slowly implemented system of segregation against all races. They want you to believe whites are superior to blacks and they want you to believe that blacks are the oppressed. This is not for a good cause. They want to brain wash the American society through lies and propaganda. If you can’t see this I’m truly sorry. I don’t hate or dislike you because of your opinion. You are entitled to that as anyone should. Just please take the time to consider this comment and it’s message. I’m sure you are a great person, but don’t let the media tell YOU what you are.

    When you speak about voting local, I think that is the most important thing that I believe 90% of American have no idea about. I NEVER know when to vote unless its every 4 years for the elections. Honestly there is never any information about voting local unless I google it on my states website and even then I never even heard of the people running. How am I supposed to vote for somebody I don't even know....it's a shame.

      Omega3 you have to be proactive yourself and learn about your local government. You need to contact them and ask for information. Google your local county and city government and do your research. Yes, the government should be communicating, but it is the citizens who need to be actively involved.

      He died because he was on drugs, unhealthy, and put himself in a position to be easily pushed into dying. The police were contributory to his dying and should have been aware of his decompensation. However, this BLM bullshit is not about that. It’s about brainwashing and Marxism. This video is so embarrassing, I feel sorry for this clown.

    I edit a podcast for someone that does a phenomenal job of being pro-black without being anti-white. He calls things as he sees them. He talks factually about what he and other black face. No embellishment. He sees it. He works it. Working with him has been a huge eye-opener for me. I've learned a lot. I've gotten out of my bubble. I'm proud to call him a friend. We must all move forward.

    Awesome words Oliver 👍👍👍💯💯💯. Local voting is HUGE. Working at the Miami Rescue Mission, I see homelessness everyday & it's overwhelmingly people of color. This system needs to be overhauled from the bottom up, and that starts with local ballot measures & officials. The people need to vote, because if they vote in numbers the 1%, can't stop us. I may have to produce a video myself tomorrow. But I don't want you to think I am piggybacking off of yours.

    Thanks Oliver for speaking your mind on this. As I hear you talk I see that you get it; you understand white privilege, and the difference between how law is applied differently to you and to me, and that the history of our country isn't pretty. Thanks for standing and telling your audience that black lives matter. I hope that as enough people stand together, and do what they can to make changes, whether it be how they relate to people they know and meet, how they vote, how they relate to people within their own cultures, that we will see a change in our country. So that all will be treated equally whether black or white. Please hang in there with us because change won't happen overnight. I wish it would. It's been too long already.

    I found your work from the “Sky King” video that was randomly suggested to me on UA-cam. I came here to watch more of your content 😎.
    Regrettably, this video was introduced as the “most popular” of your videos, which is extremely off putting to your potential audience.
    You seem to be a person (human being/living soul/mere mortal/earthling righteous dude/hombre) who has a passion for presenting a visual/audio experience for yourself and the audience to enjoy. I appreciate your creative spirit. Thank you. 😊 🙏
    In contrast, here you have publicly expressed opinions/sentiments that are obviously intended to demonstrate your good character and the moral correctness of your position on this particular issue. It is unnecessary, most likely NOT your true sentiments and factually incorrect. Causing you to alienate many potential fans and/or followers. Predictably, you will assert that you do not care and don’t want “those type” of people as fans.
    Perhaps you should listen to black people who do not buy into the “white privilege” theory? Thomas Sowell in slavery and crime.
