This is a good video, but it is a smoke screen. Two failed sexpats discussing racism in America. There is a huge amount of racism in Asia and the Philippines.
This is the dumbest video I’ve ever seen. what’s the purpose if 2 old white men who couldn’t be happy in their own country try to be experts on race. Wtf u don’t fckin live here fckin dumbsses
Stupid video what’s its purpose? I don’t get it. I live in the US I guess I can intelligently discuss race relations in a China according to you 2 dopes.
Scary times in the USA. Much of this polarization I believe is from varied special interests in government and NGOs. Keep everyone distracted and hating each other so no one will pay attention to what the government is doing, wars etc.
Yep not so much government but the 1 percent and corporate powers, one could say they pretty much control government with all the special interest money being fed to politicians. Ever wonder why we are one of the richest countries but never have had universal healthcare as the rest of the free world has.
Don’t forget the mainstream and social media (including Hollywood) that have taken a partisan side on which political party will garner more votes and higher ratings from wanton liberalism.
History and the true of story of black History is just being told. This guy isn't a person of Knowledge to speak on blacks and whites in America. I too have been married too black female a white female and now a filipinoh doesn't make me an expert and i'm black. He is giving a opinion and guess what I too worked in corrections for 27 years state of Washington different perspective and ask any Native American what he thinks. About the American that's a person you should interview Paul.
Each race is its own tribe. I don’t know why many people don’t understand that fact. It’s natural to want to be around, date, marry and breed with one’s own kind with people that look like us and have similar heritage as well as culture. That guest clearly wasn’t wanted in that black family. It’s a good thing he got divorced and out of it. People should talk about the benefits and less stress when staying with one’s own kind. Most crimes, especially murders, are statistically caused by black people. Not an opinion but a fact. Lots of racial tension is caused by the bogus liberal narrative between the fake news outlets and liberal politicians. They make lots of money doing it by dividing the people. It’s a sad thing but it’s where the US is currently as a society. Hopefully, things will get better.
What a great topic Paul. This is hugh and gutsy of you. Well done. Your guest articulated this in a way we all have in mind for years now but couldn’t put our words into it. Great video looking forward to a part 2 and more.
After 20 yrs of being a non-union white bench tech, the company I worked for went out of business. I went and got my CDL and drove a truck for a few years. One of my white friends happen to mention there was an opening at the company he worked for but it was an entry level position in a union shop and my lead and supervisor would be black. Anyway at 57 yrs old I applied for and was hired on to the first job I really liked. Within 2 yrs I have had life changing pay increases, my bosses are great and I can't thank them enough!
I always think that if all folks simply obeyed the “golden rule” the world will be a better place. Starting with me! We should all strive for community & behave with selflessness. In the old days, we called it “civic mindedness”, “manners” & “showing respect”. Seems like people have forgotten these important lessons.
Yeah but the world is more complicated than your kumbaya platitude. this guy lives so far from reality that he has to make an issue out of something that is no issue to areas with a diverse expat community.
You are correct.. the cause of problems in America is complicated & so multi layered. From economic disparities, racial disharmony, inequality in creed, sex etc. Though I always think, it starts with us practicing tolerance and to always reflect on how I treat others that are different to me. Do you feel he is spreading discord amongst the expat community with these comments? Maybe it’s a topic that you should be willing to talk respectfully to each other in these communities.
@along7114 the old days are just that the old days and should stay there people grow and things progress unless you’re stuck in a time warp somewhere where old subjects resurface as new due to lack of exposure to the realities of life. The one dimensional expat enclave that exists in Duma/Valencia are stuck without new fresh relevant subjects for coffee shop discussion. They’ve done it they’ve moved away from blacks yet are still stuck in the old discussion as if it’s a current problem they deal with. If Duma was enticing to an attractive educated man under 60 I d go there and give them something to really talk about.fkin old pervs dating women 40 yrs younger than them.I have many expat friends in Cebu who would agree that this divisive subject has no place for expats in the Philippines and this cancer should be cut out before it spreads. Paul go back to telling your dumb desperate subscribers that they can move to the Philippines on $1000 per month before you get them believing that black/white racism is a widespread conversation in the Philippines. Leave that sht in the States.MAPA make the Philippines great again. kick out the over 60 expats taking advantage of 2o yr. old poor “women desperate for a better life. being pursued by grandpas a 20 yr. old in their own country would see for what they are creepyo ld men” fkin creeps!
I agree. Other things seemed to have been tossed to the wayside, like honesty, honor, ability to parse reality from rhetoric, and just caring - about what is right, about our environment, and about each other.
This is not a conversation that I don’t think can take place rationally in private let alone public where I currently live Shelby,NC. After living in Thailand for 5 years I can’t leave America fast enough. Within a year Davao will be my home and I will leave this nonsense behind me hopefully.
@@letsif ‘systemic’ hatred? We are all free to have our own likes/ dislikes; even our own opinions. Live your life and don’t worry about whether people like or dislike you. Do you think it’s even possible to force people to like you? That’s a fool’s errand.
@@letsif So what is the system of hatred? Did your propaganda tabloid master talking heads brainwash you to puke out daddy's word? What's the system of hatred instituted? We'll wait....
You are wonderful Paul for allowing this to be a topic on your channel. I'm 49 black, male, and currently living in the Philippines partly behind racism and unavoidable ni××erism. Both of which are equally as toxic to my well-being. I have had many white-collar friends of the white race that have been helpful to my successes in life.
Doesn't matter whether you're black, white, Jewish, asian,latino, or mixed! We all desperately need the grace,mercy, and love of God. He only has one family, which race isn't a issue. We know when we've passed from death to life, when we love one another.
sure, that’s what Jesus teach us, in his two commandments Matthew 22:37-39 but the grace of god is already been given to all of us through Jesus Christ by his death and resurrection, Romans 5:15-17 we just have to follow seriously what Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew
Amen!!! God is good and he is merciful not willing that any should perish but that we come to the knowledge of his son the Lord Jesus who givea eternal life to those who receive him.
I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion . Please allow me to buy you two, and of course Baby May, dinner on me. These topics should be discussed so people can clarify what they truly believe in their own minds, and why. I hope one day we can sit down and enjoy a lively discussion over a couple of drinks. Take care and stay healthy.
I grew up in Hawaii with many, mostly Pacific nations people. Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Hawaiian and many others to a lesser degree and of course Haole or known as Caucasian. I went from a child to retirement age on Maui. There is no doubt that racism is in both directions. Because of the comedic element of being local in Hawaii and the various comedians of different race, people often spoke about other races, but mostly in a fun way, recognizing the differences and even celebrating those differences. I have now lived in the east coast in Virginia and had never been around many black people, but here I am a minority compared to black people. There is a very high awareness and walking in egg shells about saying it doing anything racist. That being said, I notice so many black people talking and acting racist, yet they may not even think they are or that they are being mean. It's just that it is much more accepted to have them act this way, than it would be for a while person to. I also have a granddaughter that is so smart and I love her to the moon and back, but now at the age of seven and being raised in a white family, her dad spends plenty of time with her and is a great father, but she is beginning to see more of the differences than she has as a younger child. I don't know where I'm going with this, but it is different here. In Hawaii, most races at the core of their race, have really what is viewed as racist attitudes, but not necessarily to be mean. They embrace their own cultures. Hawaii Filipino people that have been there many years are not as friendly as the Filipino people portrayed that live in the Philippines.
because white man stole their country . they have a long memory of white invade their islands put a guns too king and queen family too sign their land too usa.
I agree with you to a point . But, the problem of the matter is that, America was build without truely trusting in God. American whites have truely lost their moral compass.
You can talk about race, politics, and religion from the neutral grounds of the Philippines without any fear of repercussion from America’s politics and the media.
I think Paul has touched something important with his video segment on the deteriorating race-relations, as well as other things wrong with America that we Americans are afraid to talk about in our own society for fear of backlashes, but can do so freely in countries like the Philippines. Perhaps the solutions to America's problems will not come from the American people living in America, but from Americans living in other countries. Great video interview!
Fascinating conversation. I wish everyone here in America can talk on this topic with same amount of maturity and calm. Both you guys are A list TV personalities in my book.
The media only showing black people being murdered by police is by design. If the American public was aware of how many other groups were killed by the police, there would public outrage, and police reform would have happened years ago. Instead, we have a steady diet of police brutality on black people, which has the psychological effect of installing fear of police in the black community, while reinforcing stereotypes that only black people commit crimes, therefore there is no need for police reform when only black people are the criminals.
Excellent video guys. I enjoyed & appreciated it. I was born in 1952 from a WWII veteran father (prior to the desegregation of the armed forces) and a rurally raised mother. In my experience trying to grow up in today's world I had to shed all of the racial ignorance & propaganda from my bigoted father. I guess my point is to address your guests perspective that maybe 10% max. of Americans are now racist. Perhaps that is true in some areas of the U.S., but in my Peoples Socialist Republic of Minnesota which is horribly left-wing radical, there are plenty of folks that are marginally racist. They would socialize with other races, work with them and even perhaps have a few friends that are racially diverse. However, if you ask them if they would be OK with their daughter marrying or even dating a black man, they would not approve at all. Some even harbor negative feelings about their daughters being involved with Hispanic, Asian and especially Muslim men. Identifying someone as racist is one thing, but seeing if they are cool with a black son-in-law and/or black grandchildren will perhaps surprise you even in a strong bastion of liberalism here in MN.
I remember working at a gas station on I-75 in middle Georgia back in the late 60s and early 70s, pumping gas and washing windshields for folks from places like Minnesota since I75 is the main route from the midwest to Florida. One afternoon in the dog days of summer an elderly man from someplace like lilly white Minnesota had the temerity to ask "15 year old white Southern male" i.e. me, "why do "you people" down here treat the "colored people" so badly?" I was shocked, and speechless. He was very lucky that I was raised to treat my elders with respect. If I didn't I'd have had a keen switch administered to my arse by my daddy until it wouldn't hold corn shucks. Frankly, I think the reason the old man asked me that was because he knew he could get away with it. No way he would have confronted my 25 year old cuz who also worked there because he would have been the one that toted the arse whipping. Looking back on it, I doubt very seriously if this old man would have approved of his daughter or granddaughter even dating a black dude.
In the 70"s I attended high school in Utah. At that school, of approximately 2000 students, there were two black females and one black male. He tried out for football and made the team. More often than not, others stated that he made the team because of his color. He became a high school star. He was a star at Utah State and then played with the Denver Broncos for three years. His name is Rick Paris.
Other notables from Granite High School in Salt Lake City were John Golden Richards ( Immaculate Reception), who went on to play for BYU and the University of Hawaii, then the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears. And Couch LaVell Edwards coached for eight years at Granite from 1954 to 1962. His teams never had a winning record. In 1962 he was hired by BYU; Edwards went on to lead BYU to a national championship in 1984.
This topic is one of the major reasons why I'm leaving my beloved America... Unfortunately it appears to have gotten worse, it's really sad... enough said... Peace David D
Another person who doesn't understand there is hatred and racism in ALL countries. However as an expat it will take years to understand what the racism looks like in your new country because you will exist in the expat bubble.
I will never, ever leave America in my heart...best country on the planet...we have problems, but nothing compared to the rest of the world. We go through cycles of interna conflict and always come out better.
I often wonder about the motivation behind racism. As a black man, I’ve been on the receiving end of acts of hate and discrimination solely because of my color. Conversely, I have been helped me throughout my life by white people who have taken an interest in seeing that I do well. As a matter of fact, I’ve been helped more by whites than African Americans. I live in America and have been married to a Filipina for over 30 years. I like visiting the Philippines but don’t want to live there. Have you done any vetting of your guest? I wish he were a bit more specific with examples. I agree that many people of color continue to use slavery and racism as a reason not to depend upon themselves to succeed in the U.S. We continue to our own worst enemy. However, I believe your guest mistakes resentment for racism. Enough rambling (by me). Good topic, needs more discussion by open minded people.
I spent time in China a couple years ago. I'm an American also. China is definitely not a diverse community yet racism is alive and well. Dark skinned Chinese are said to be poor farmers, uneducated and feeble. I believe racism is in our genes.😞
My question to you is when a black person expresses his or her resentment towards white people for what they’ve done, everyone accepts it at face value. But when a white person expresses their resentment towards black people for what they’ve done, it’s considered racist. Would you expand on those comparisons?
Paul as a man both married to a black woman and now a Philippine women I see a huge differences. Now my black wife I met in Kenya. She came to Phoenix and we have two children together. Younger guys were so impressed with your marriage older people were not. Blacks from Africa do not act or behave anything like American blacks and they do not even seem to get along. My Philippine wife is much more caring but they are very similar in so many ways and money, family and lifestyle and yes they both like to continue to associate only with people from there own country. My Philippine wife is a much more happy person and she is committed to our relationship.
I spent 13 months in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia. You are spot-on about black Africans being completely different from "African-Americans." It is NOT race ! It is the CULTURE !
I noticed that myself about white people. The white women in Germany, France, Russia etc behave nothing like American white women. (sarcasm). The reason why Africans and American blacks behave differently is because they are from different countries , continents, and cultures.
@@Dean-b2f In the 90s I worked for an IT company where I had to travel and had to hire about 30 temps for each job site. One thing that was glaringly clear was that the African Nationals I would hire had a willingness to learn, genuine kindness, and a strong work ethic. I made many lifelong friends during those years. The mindset however of most of the African Americans was more of about when breaks were, if they can come late or leave early. This is a generalization, not all were like this but certainly a noticeable majority. So, no its not about the color of the individual at all.
The African will have a totally different experience growing up compared with the African American. Of course they are not the same, no more than a Russian is typical in thought belief and experiences of a White American with Russian ancestry. I agree that it is culturally based, but recognize that culture is not created in a vacuum. It's complicated..
i had a gf from eritrea and she used to always say africans and african-americans are not the same race; she moved to long beach as a teenager and was always picked on by black americans at high school as were her siblings
This was an interesting and thought-provoking video. Often times it is difficult for us as individuals to see just how much our views and beliefs have been shaped by the people and the institutions around us. Racism and hate cannot survive in a vacuum...it needs a supporting structure. Institutionalized racism that is allowed to remain in our courts, our government, and our religious organizations needs to be seen for what it is and rooted out. If we are all willing to level the playing field, then hopefully in a decade or two we won’t need to have this type of discussion. We can turn our attention to sandy beaches and lovely Filipinas.
INSTITUTIONAL RACISM.... what a lousy phrase invented by the democrats, which to me is actually crap being thrown back on their faces. What is an INSTITUTION..... we are all members of all these institutions one way or another which are the government in all levels, its agencies and all private groups such as businesses, societies and practically all form of communities down to the family level. So democrats are saying we are all racists without exception since we are all members of these communities. but to a certain level, i believe that, even blacks can be the most racist people. that is why on the issue of CRT i am not actually opposed to teaching it in schools. but they have to tell the whole story, the democrats should admit that during the slavery days, they did not allow their slaves to be educated. they are beaten to pulp when discovered learning how to read and write. they were told they have no capacity to learn and that sank into their culture up to these days. Many many blacks are still unsuccessful getting out of that bondage.
When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, tolerance was taught in schools and universities. Right now intolerance is taught in schools and universities.
Video turned out better than I expected after just seeing the topic. Based on the last census, the population in USA consists of approximately 12.2% Black, 18.5% Hispanic, 60.1% White, 5.6% Asian, 2.8% Multiple Race, 0.7%, 0.2% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Currently, the emphasis in USA is to have black actors in every commercial, have black actors in every move or TV show, and to have a black emphasis in every social event. Now who is over represented???????? Black Coaches Association, Black Congressional Caucus, Black Entertainment Television: If any of those started with the word "White" there would be violent demonstrations in the streets claiming racism!! When I worked in law enforcement and responded to domestic violence calls the households I responded to were overwhelmingly black. I worked as a military policeman for many years. In 1976, over 80% of all violent crime at Fort Hood was committed by black soldiers. The majority of Blacks that I have known are racist. The majority of whites, Asians, and Hispanics I have know are not racist. If someone I encounter, whether socially or through business gives off racist vibes, I avoid any association with that person. California is considering awarding $1.2 million to some blacks for reparations?? How many of those were living during the time of slavery?????? When I worked traffic as a law enforcement officer, I was observing the vehicle actions not the color of the person driving. I usually couldn't tell what race the driver was until I got up to the vehicle. Racism is wrong. Discrimination is wrong. You should never be hired or promoted because of the pigment of your skin. It has been my experience that anytime a black isn't hired or promoted they pull the "race card". Some stores and restaurants are closing in areas of Chicago, Oregon, and California because of unchecked black violence and looting. When is "White History Month"? Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. I am leaving the USA soon to escape the liberal nonsense.
Why would there be a white history month. European history is taught everyday of the year in school. White is the default. Labeling “black” with all this nonsense says a lot. We do need reparations. There was a economic result from slavery and it was never paid. Pay us and we can talk about being cool. Pay your bill Caucasian people. You owe us a check
@@Waynekingalin Yes, even though the Hispanic population percentage in the USA is much higher than the black population, the focus is only on making commercials and TV shows and movies with blacks, not Hispanics or Asian. I have been acquainted with persons of all races over the years. I have observed racism by the majority of blacks. I have never witnessed racism by Asians or Hispanics. I have know some whites that were racist but that has decreased over the years. I'll finally be out of the USA in a week. I'm just fed up with the unchecked violence of blacks and the ridiculous pandering to 12% of the population.
I have been with my Philippina for over 8 years and been around houndeders of Philippinos and not one time have anyone ever made me feel like an outcast or unwelcome .
As a black man living in usa your guest had good accurate points and some personal opinions. I love how you interjected points to look at it from both sides. You did it several times and i thank you Paul. Hard to say if it will take 60 or 100 yrs before actual change occur. I agree some blacks are sensitive and live improvised lives and have a crab mentality, sad to say. Also there are blinded underlined white privilege in America that exist as well. My belief is when the majority is challenged and fail to show equality then unfortunately policies are created to keep the underprivileged bound. You would be terribly ostracized from all sides to have such conversation in current usa. Thanks you ripping off the bandage from a hemmorhaging America crisis
Blacks do not want equality, they want power. The USA has Black Mayors, Black Police Chiefs, Black State and Federal Senators, Congressman, Black Governors, Black Generals, Black Actors, Black Artists, the lists goes on. Yet more blacks are killed by blacks. More police officers are killed by blacks. Nothing will change until the black culture changes.
This guy is completely off his rocker. He’s spent too much time as a CO. My dad was a CO in Vacaville for 24 years by the way. I wish I could tell you the truth face to face Paul. But these guys are putting”niggas” and “black people” in the same category. There’s a huge difference within our culture.
"When skin pigmentation causes indignation that's self-incrimination, one's value must be self-contain all who embrace such hate will cause their own pain, when nothing is gained."
No one hates unless you allow hate to flourish for selfish gain. What is happening in America today is not about hate that happened two centuries ago (all those people are dead now). Instead, it about using race and ethnicity as a political weapon for one's quest for money and power---just like what happened to the weaponization of the pandemic, border control, sexual identity, and other once-neutral issues that have been transformed into controversial agendas for political gain. And the media (including Hollywood), and the propaganda they ran, are the main instigators of those so-called "Hate."
@@CornellSandifer Well, I didn't write this quote but it makes a lot of sense: "Whoever Controls the Media, Controls the Mind."--- Jim Morrison (The Doors). And the media has been controlling most of the American's minds for a while now---including black people's mind to rise up for a cause (Racism) that is inconsequential and non-productive to our lives as Americans---that only keeps us divided instead of "united."
@@CornellSandifer they dont get it, because. They have no eyes to see their errant ways... Hopefully, the Filipinos and the republic of..will see their errant ways and ask some of them to depart their land
I’ve come to the conclusion that what we call racism is not a moral failing, but an ugly part of our nature that has always been with us. Like impatience, pride, gluttony, etc. it is something we have to fight (within ourselves) to overcome. Race is just a tribal identifier, but it could be your faith, your political beliefs, or the fact that you are the people over the hill. I think the news media in the U.S. knows they can get peoples attention by poking this issue with a stick, and it does not help the problem. My local news in San Francisco uses racism stories as filler on slow days. Strangely, the same media almost only reports black crime. It is almost as if they encourage and foster fear of black men. They do it for profit.
I agree with you. The issues we face as people in this life have to do with our fallen nature. The book of Romans written by another Paul 😊 discusses this and the remedy if people receive the gift.
In my own opinion,mostly the old guys they come to our country,first their financially,or. Money because when they use their money to Philippines become bigger,second they can find a very very young woman,might most of dislike my words,but that's reality.
Congratulations to both men for having courage to see past racial lines and especially your guest honestly help us with his hard earned valuable experiences.
They didn't see too far. It's amazing how the race they are talking about can watch this and hear something completely different. This video didn't help racism in any shape, form or fashion.... at all in any way possible.
@@ANinjaforReal People have been enslaving each other since rocks were young. Race is not the reason for abuse, which is opportunistic. You had ancestors, like me, who mistreated others. Trying to get even by arbitrarily abusing whoever you can will not improve things. It only creates an explosion of injustice.
@@ANinjaforReal sorry but I beg to differ, it got us talking an accepting the fact that we are now farther apart then we've been in 15 years. It was declining up until 2008 and since then it's gotten worse every year.
Great topic. All I can say is I hope you do not get demonatized or cancelled due to this topic! I grew up being able to talk to people on lots of topics and if we did not agree that was okay. That all seems to have changed in America today. I am hopeful it will change back to the MLK concept of being judged by our character versus our skin color but that is not the deal now. :(
New to this channel. I'm married to a Filipina which is the only reason why I started watching Paul's videos. I find them interesting and informative. I started watching the video with Gerard and thought that I should go back to the first video. I thought this was a really good, honest conversation with someone who has a lot of life experience about this topic. I'm not American but bravo to you fellas for tackling such a sensitive topic.
In 1991 a famous, intelligent, educated American said: "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved." Jesse Jackson He was ignored. Nothing has changed.
Do you know the context behind the comment? Could it have been a a meeting addressing gun violence in the streets of Chicago? It's important to give context so as not to mislead people. After the Iran Contra Scandal created a drug epidemic on the Streets of major cities fighting over territory went from fist to guns. It went from Revolvers to Semi-Automatics. The speech Jackson gave was in reference to how life had become to the people caught I the middle of the fight over drug revenue. The same thing is happening across America as we speak. If you live in South Boston living in poor communities you are worried about anyone walking upon you at night. Ask Mark Walberg what his live was like before he became famous and he will tell you he was a gang member who loved inflicting pain on people who looked different than him.
Fascinating video and talk. From the guest's point of view and starting from when he was in the system but decided to work in that same system to get a pension and the more important societal issue of race. Again, enjoyed the video and was listening to each and every word and the wind made it even more rewarding. (lol)
Paul this is a very good subject to talk about. Most are afraid to deal with subject. But i must inform both of you that white is not a color but a class. Billionaire and above.
Let me first say one thing, nowadays it's not about race anymore but a complex cultural differences. Of course, race is still an issue and will never be resolved until people in leadership talked about the right and wrong and not be divisive or one sided on that issue. I think Paul's friend here (he never mentioned his name), has the right experience or expertise to talk about race relations. At 6:47 I agree on that statement, I worked 31 yrs at LA City Hall as a computer network operator and my co-workers are about 60% black, there's time(although rarely) when I work with a group of black personnel and I would hear negative things about white people and then when I work with a group of white people never heard anything negative about black people. I'm Pilipino that's why I'm often invisible or they would think that I would not be interested about the conversations, now this people are all my friends and have 31 years of interactions and we are friendly with each others; whenever we work together - black, whites and asians. I think the more race relations are taught in schools or talked about in Network TV, the more there's going to be an understanding or tolerant sentement on race relations. Of course, there is always going to be 1 white guy or 1 black guy or 1 asian guy that would hate you because you have different skin color, but nowadays and into the future it would more likely(hoping) be a rarity. People are getting educated now, and I think there would be time in the future that a person will be judged not because of skin color or social preference but because of his/her accomplishment or integrity. In conclusion: 31:18 Paul is right on, because he never see people as either white or black etc., he see's them as either a dick or a nice guy, I totally agree.
Regarding the "comments made about black people not standing up for a white person invited to an all black gathering": I would be very surprised if that actually happened. I am black and if I invited a white person into my home, I would do my best to make him/her feel welcomed specially if I were the spouse . I would not allow such behavior to surface without correcting it immediately. Black people are some of the most welcoming people to meet. Simply stated, if this happened, it was wrong for no one to speak up against such behavior.
@Ivory Taylor Exactly! I was saying the exact same thing to myself, plus a couple other things. This is why I thought both sides should have been represented together. People are coming to a conclusion from a person said experience. Lord have mercy! Of course there are troubled people all around, but the great majority of people I've known thru the decades are not the way described... We have far more in common. I love all you brothers regardless of pigmentation. 😊
As a non-black, non-white person who grew up in a predominantly black community, I have found blacks to be far more accepting of non-blacks in their communities than any other race I've encountered in my 59 years, and the several countries I've traveled to. Does that mean a white man wouldn't be assaulted, or be robbed? No. But it has more to do with the environment he's in than the community he's a part of. I had a million things to say when I first watched this video but the fact of the matter is that I'd just be wasting my breath. As I mentioned elsewhere, I wouldn't be as concerned by the 2/100 guys who might use the N word as I would be about the many who would be thinking it. Can't wait for Jesus' return. That will put an end to all this madness.
@@petercrisp8314 This discussion is far more complex than can be addressed here on YT so we'll just agree to disagree. Is that even allowable anymore?
Excellent video, clean, straight and crisp. As a 62 year old African American I applaud your honesty and the experiences you went through. One thing that makes a Big difference in general are Black folks raised in the City vs Suburbs and Country. As one who was raised in the Burbs I frequently get flack, tension, disfavor even among my own people and if you get into skin tone issue its a alot of fiction. I like your vid cause of the calm nature and not hysterical emotions that could be. Many African American Men or Women I believe want to leave the craziness, pressure, wildness of Americans and probably Canada's race/ethnic craziness and only those who keep the division & craziness going is making a lot of money. The research into BLM is true and it was a Huge success for the wrong reasons and generally the Black Community received nothing or very little from it: But the Trans & Alphabet community received Millions. Any way one Great thing when descent Black men & Women leave or explore out of the American/west Matrix is that that burden is lifted off and we can just be Americans/Canadians/Foreigners in another land. consequently to clarify something. Passport Bros. 1. Its just Western men (Outside the common Military Diaspora traveling to or moving to another country. 2. The reason its called "Passport Bros" is that since Black Men are known to call each other Bro, This term somehow was attached to this select group of traveling men: at the very foundation its just about western men traveling/visiting or becoming an expat. Why now? Well outside of mainly military majority Black men didn't have the resources/maybe desire/opportunity/Negative images of Black Men on media distributed on Movies & TV around the world and the Fear it caused against us (Just ask your Foreigner wife if old enough to recount the images of Black Men on American movies/TV and you'll get the gist of it)/ etc etc. Now since the advent of remote work, more open & Better opportunities, improved finances, better imagery etc more Non military Eligible Black Men are now following more in the footsteps of their Caucasian counter part. Hence the so-called Passport Bros phenomenon. Sorry so long. Kudos to you two for handling a difficult topic.:)
So you heard nothing wrong with anything Paul and notepad guy said? When you and two other black people stand together do you start saying negative things about white people?
Well intentioned, balanced, and informative. This is the type of discussions that need to be taking place. It was a pleasure to watch. The follow up video with Gerard was painful to watch. I almost turned it off several times. But I soldiered through hoping there was a silver lining, or at least some concession on the part of the guest. There were not. All his “counter arguments” and I use the term loosely, did nothing but support the ascertain that the majority of the burden of continuing racism lies at the feet of blacks. I already knew this to be the case. This video just reinforced what I already knew to be true. I don’t pretend to know the answer. Hell there may not be one. But, I sincerely think for there to be any significant gains it will need to come from the black community.
Having come from a very similar background. Except I served in the military for 21 years. I overall agree with his assessments. I too love black people in general and choose to worship at a predominantly black church.
Thanks for sharing this important topic. I too (white male in the USA) was married to a black American woman for 8 years. So much of what was said here has also been my experience. Ditto about the prejudice I experienced within the AA community. Surprisingly I had thought going into it I was going to get more flack from my fellow whites, but it turns out I got the comments from her side of the family and friends. I personally feel that the woke culture of today has divided us even more bc everyone is hyperaware of their "tribe" and is obsessed with being one of the tribe and not with our common identity as Americans. Fanning tribal flames is not how you create a strong nation. It's how you splinter one. My advice to anyone is what my father told me going into it - marriage is already hard enough, but it adds additional hardship when you are from a different culture. It can be done, but it's not an easy road.
Interesting topic. Hopefully you can interview someone of color who to speak on this topic as well. I spoke to a black gentleman in his 40s in Dumaguete who was coming out of Whynot and he spoke to me and we got into a conversation and he said that he left America and moved to the UK to work and live because of racism and I asked him if it was because of racism from whites and he said that he was tired of it period from both sides and just didn’t want to live his life with racism and hate so he works in the UK and visits the Philippines every 6 months and stays here for a month.
US has black mayors, black governors, black police chiefs, black generals, black state and federal senators, black movie stars and artists, but USA is racist. Scott Adams was right.
The argument here is how you define racism. Many black people think they can't be racist because they are the minority. While most people believe racism is treating someone poorly or thinking poorly of someone because of their race.
hey Paul. Been checking your channel for awhile. First time hearing this subject from you. Not talking about the content so much, just that you had the courage to do it. It is not hard to get emotional about this subject as it brings up alot. Mos t of your videos do not have many darkskinned people, so called black or african americans You have helped alot of folks come over there for a better qualty of like, I have been encouraged by the info you provided and I thank you for that. So as a person with darkskin, thanks for all you continue to do and your courage to do this video.
Paul, I enjoy your channel. I like how you are labelling your time in the Philippines as discovering your true self. For this topic though, I do not see much value in debating who is more racists than the other. Would it not be more important to just explore the topic of racism - what contributes to it, how it can be reduced and the benefit of living in a society that does not see race as a negative. In any case, I take your intent as probing the topic with the idea that racism on any level is wrong. That is something I strongly support. Enjoy your time in the Philippines!
@@ANinjaforReal Well we can't speak for everyone, maybe it did help some viewers to understand, such as the topic of racial profiling of black men vs whites, but I don't think this topic was something that I wanted to hear coming from a white man who already has privilege, seems a little bit slanted in my opinion, like 400 years of slavery and continued bias up until till 2023 (a black man found decapitated in Mississippi last month, told his mom he was being harassed by white men on his new job ), like you really think black folks don't have a reason to not want to deal with whites folks, c'mon SMDH.
I had been planning a move to the PH prior to the "global Medical emergency". Needless to say, I was delayed by several years. After bouncing to 8 different countries (mostly SE Asia) while PH laws relaxed I have finally made it here. I had a much different strategy than most gringos. I opted to head north to cooler climates and avoid all the Expat BS. I’m in a small town now where I am THE ONLY GRINGO and have been treated like a king. And I got a nice country (providence) girl that is incredible. So If cooler temperatures (78 today/rest of PH 97+) head north, but bring a positive open mind and please MIND YOUR MANNERS, we are all guest here, bad manners affects us all.
I'm an American indian mix but can't prove my heritage yet I think people are people to be loved we all bring something to the table I have no problem with color & I'm in America no issues here with my life it's a government issue divisions are great for conquer
If I'm not mistaken racism can only be practiced by a group of people who weld different aspects of power and authority. Black people can practice bigotry, biasness, ridicule and prejudice BUT not racism. Correct me if I'm wrong please
That is true. History has shown us the horror from those with power to subjugate an entire race. Little Timmy from Louisiana beating this guy up in the 7th grade is a silly comparison.
I am white. I am glad he clarified the proportions of whites vs black in population etc in the statistics. Things are still s bit twisted due to the “war on drugs”. At the airport in Chicago heading your way😊
I am a Filipino and I can tell you guys that racism is not a thing in the Philippines. In fact, I think most of us Filipinos only became aware of what racism is when the internet became available. Color of skin doesn't matter to us. As long as you show respect to us, to your local Filipino community, you will be respected as well. If you see some of us stares at you, don't worry, it's just a curious Filipino stare. Because we don't get to see a lot of Black or White people that's why we're kind of amaze seeing you guys in person. Thank you Paul for another great interview. God bless you 🙏
Racism is all throughout the Philippines. Women are judged by how dark the skin is. The whiter you are the more favorable you become. As a foreigner we also get skin taxed based on us just being a foreigner. That’s absolutely racist.
@@izzyandcris8429 I disagree. We don't judge women by their skin color or or give them special treatment because they have lighter complexion. But it is true that most women in the Philippines wants to have whiter skin because of colonial mentality. The Philippines was a colony of Spain for more than 300 years and during that time Filipinos are treated second class citizen for having darker or brown skin. Since then, most of Filipinos especially in women have this thought that whiter skin is beautiful. But again, Filipinos wanting to have whiter skin complexion is not the same with being a racist. And again, having a whiter skin will not guarantee you to land for job your targeting to. What I can say is that, Filipino employers will favor those women who have college or bachelor's degree than those who don't have. So therefore, we more value education than the color of the skin. ( Sorry if my grammar is wrong)
@@izzyandcris8429 about the skin tax, I only heard of that now. You will pay of tax because of your skin color? Oh my God that's ridiculous. If all Filipinos knows about this skin tax, whoever created that law, he/she will be bash by most of Filipino. That's not fair.
@@mcluvin65 Hi Dennis. That's true most of Filipino women don't want to be exposed in the sun because they don't want to get a darker skin. As what I replied to Izzy and Cris, most of Filipinos especially women, then want to have white skin as the effect of Colonial mentality brought to us by Spanish. But again, wanting to have a whiter skin is not racist. Or maybe my knowledge about racism is shallow. If that is the case, pardon me. I didn't know that wanting to have a lighter or whiter skin can still considered as racist. But anyway, I can assure you that no matter what is your skin color, you can always befriend with Filipinos. In fact, we are always excited to have a Foreigner friends because we get to practice our english communication skills lol. 😄
mexicans are really friendly like filipino based on my experience. I live in california. and a lot of my friends are mexican and when I am invited to their home everyone is very welcoming. I see this at Quinceañera all the time Ive been to many. never once did I not feel welcome.
Mexicans weren't enslaved by white people either. I think slavery is the biggest roadblock between black and white people and it will never go away. How would white people feel if they were enslaved? 🤔
Majority of Mexicans hate black people, trust me. I had many, many Mexican friends, and when I listened to their parents, I hear the most racist terms used against our people. I could never imagine why Mexicans hate us, when we had nothing to do with the ass whipping (Meixcan American War) and the subsequent land that was lost. Hell, Mexicans worship white folks, just like the dumb Filipinos worship White America.
The Mexican culture and the Philippine culture are very similar. That is because they sere both colonized by Spain. The Spanish culture runs deep in both countries
Too bad you have a video about race. That's all the media in the States seems to focus on. I have been here for fifteen years and race is not a problem . Don't bring up and carry on about racism. Keep to Philippine and Asian issues as you have always done.
I'm glad Jason is able to be purely clinical about this topic and that his experiences have not affected him in any emotional way. I hope Paul interviews Jordan Peterson next.
Black man here. My knee jerk reaction to his position was, that’s not true. I decided to have an open mind and hear him out because he has street cred. After hearing him, I still disagree. I’m living in Cebu. If I get down your way Paul, I will try to reach out.
@@effewe2 This is not the forum to rebuke a 50 minute conversation. Only to state that there are alternative opinions. When I am in Dumaguette, I will gladly sit with Paul and present my perspective.
Wow Paul great interview Jay great insight amazing. For once Paul, your questions which are your strength usually , got in the way of the answer a bit. Still amazing to put it in perspective one of the most interesting hours of discussion I have heard in 60+ years. I’ll run it again and give you more specific feedback or examples of what I mean by questions on the timeline.
I see a budding friendship here, I have watched Paul's UA-cam channel evolve over the years and know he loves to be intellectually stimulated! Engaging and honest conversation. Thank you both.
Great video. I am almost the same age as you guys. Lived in Texas all my life. I agree with all that was said about racism. Bussing ( desegregation ) black kids to white schools was the solution the " smart " leadership came up with when I was in school. As white kids we thought it was a little silly but we did not mind at all that we had an extra dozen or so black kids in our school. Didn't help racism because we were not racist to begin with. As a matter of fact, I recently ran into one of my black schoolmates at the gym. We talked for a good thirty minutes about our fellow schoolmates - who was still in town, who had passed away, what we were doing these days. It mattered not one bit that I am white and he is black. We were friends ! Just like when we were in school. Having said that, there is always one or two racists in the mix. White , black or Hispanic, there will always be one jerk in the crowd.
Super interesting and brave video. I’d love to see this as a series of discussions Paul. It’s a super complicated subject. I believe that our upbringing means more than anything when it comes to how we feel about other ethnicities. I am a 62 year old white woman that was raised in the south by white southern parents. I was bussed past my local white school to a school in a predominantly black neighborhood in middle school. It was a traumatic experience, as I was a small blond blue eyed weakling kid that proceeded to get robbed, picked on, beat up and pushed around by black girls that were literally physically bigger than my mom. Our family 3 times in my childhood were victims of crime by black people. Robbery of a store my parents owned 2 times by black men. The last robbery resulted in my father coming out of a back storage room to see 2 black men with guns pointed at my mom. My dad pulled his gun and shot at them. One died. The family of the guy that died tried suing my parents saying it was racially motivated. They lost. But, the publicity ruined our family business and we received death threats until my mom and dad packed us up in the night and we had to move to another state. My parents lost their house and everything they’d worked for. Humble house, but our home! Then, in our new state several years later, our house was broken into while we were asleep in our lower middle class home. They stole my moms purse with the keys to my dads vintage Cadillac that he had restored himself after working all day as a mechanic. It was a distinctive car, and my dad drove all over the town of Fort Lauderdale every night for 2 weeks until he found the car in a projects parking lot and called the police. The man that was arrested was black. Never once, not once have I ever heard my parents disparage black people. We were taught that there are bad apples in every race and creed in the world, and as my dad said “their hate doesn’t make us hateful people”. My dads long gone and my brother is married to a black woman. My nephew and his wife that are white, just adopted a black baby given up for adoption by a drug addicted mom. Apparently, this lack of hate toward people, simply based on the color of their skin has been passed on on my side of the family. Interestingly, I just had lunch with a niece of my husband’s. They were all raised rich, and honestly had very little contact with black people. She is one of the most racist people I’ve ever encountered when it comes to black people. I had to cut the lunch short because basically tell her I was uncomfortable even hearing the things she said. Apparently, her upbringing was much different than mine. Honestly, if I’m afraid of anyone, it’s not a skin color, it’s people of any color that are desperate. Poverty, drug addiction, and being raised by bad people can make people do terrible things. PS, as if my post wasn’t long enough. My husband and I are retiring to Mexico in another week. According to my niece, Mexicans are rapists and are all drug cartel and we’ll be dead within a year.
I would not retire to Mexico as most Mexicans I know will not go there but go ahead and ignore the warning. Thank you for telling your story and ignore rodney9772.
@@rodney9772 Strange comment. Her point is that despite her family experiencing hardships due to blacks they were civilized about it and not racist. They are better than me as I was not racist but after getting robbed by some blacks multiple times I see them differently. Why is it that so many blacks want to steal and commit crimes?
Long time watcher, second time commenter. Economist joined with a Ph.D. in statistics living in the USA. I have enjoyed my trips to the PH. I have enjoyed your videos. There were some good moments in the video, but a lot of pure cringe. By your own stats a black man is 5 times more likely to be killed by police based on population not 3 times as suggested by your guest. When he said globalism is dying was the end for me. Much respect, maybe coffee in Feb 2024...? So much more I would say but out of respect not in a public forum Paul.
Paul, your follow-up question to "how many white guys out of 100 would use the N-word if a black guy walked into a room with them should have been: How many white guys would come to the defense of the black guy called the N-word?
No one ever came to my defense in that situation (and it's happened a lot). Imagine the outcome if they had.. the ripple effect of seeing and hearing good things being done.
Paul, Awesome video. I too worked in law enforcement & corrections in California after a 22 year Military Career. I concur that Education & 2 parent households are key factors effecting black-white relations. I submit that HollyWeird & Music Industry could step up and grab hold of not only young minds, but their older siblings as well for more positive interrace cooperation. Think of the racist dying that does not want the other race operating on them or donating an organ. Think of a well sung song by various artists of different races. Think of the Main Street News Networks showing different races helping each other in so many aspects of life. But most important - Get rid of identifiers! Men go in men's rooms, women go in women's rooms, other than that we judge each other on character and skill level (PERIOD)! Houses of Worship need to open their eyes and be honest with all they wish to speak to, GOD made us all & loves us all!
Great conversation. Your guest's last statements about education and economic opportunity were spot on. I worked with many professional and high-earning black people throughout my working career. It is becoming a class issue. These coworkers had nothing good to say about "hood rats." Just as I have nothing good to say about racist white rednecks. My best friend here in Thailand is a Black American man. I even can overlook that he is from Philly:)
I don't think it's an education or economic situation. Look at today's campuses spewing racial hate against the white man. Universities are now offering segregated graduations. It's the black culture. Blacks need to change.
The key is where you fall in the socio economic ladder. I worked in government and the bosses I had who were black had the same goals as there white co-workers. Get promoted, educate their children, and get along with everyone black or white. People can get along if the want to.
Hi Paul, First, I hope this message finds you well. WOW!! This is one of the hardest, sensitive, and controversial topics to talk about on TV, internet and UA-cam and yet you’ve managed to handle it well. Living and working in the eastern part of the U.S., I’ve seen “it” all. Racism has always been the frontline among neighbors, friends, in schools, in the communities, and even in corporate America. It exists everywhere (U.S.) and I find that totally absurd, sick and inhuman. Well, I guess I’m sort of a lucky guy because racism does not get into me. I think being a professional and well cultured individual helps me get through any racial remarks. Furthermore, my parents raised me to be a good person, to be a good Christian, and not to judge people regardless of their “background and status.” Just so you know, I like everybody and I don’t look at the color of their skin. In fact, I have lot of white and black friends, white and black co-workers and Hispanic neighbors. I live in the suburb and my neighbors are whites, blacks, Europeans, Hispanics, Arabs, and Asians. If I get out of my house and I see them, I smile and talk to them or simply say “hi” just to break the silence, the stare, and the shyness. Have a good day, sir! 👍👍🙌🙌
I must be crazy, even without this experience I see this happening everywhere. I'm English and have always known this. I often went to night clubs (dancing) in black areas and felt this always. Ealing, Streatham, Brixton being my main experiences and there are a lot more. I was born in the east end of London, cannot live there again because the area has been taken over by the "minorities". Thank goodness I now live in the Philippines (although very racist) but mainly against their own kind.
But I also think it's absolutely ridiculous 🤣 to ask a white man. Where he think is more racism. I was married to a white woman for more than 20 years. An encounter tons of racism in her family and friends 😞 most of the time it's just more scuttle I come from the Bay area and Los Angeles area in my younger days I've had issues with police. Even though both my parents were in my life married for 50 years 🕊️🕊️💞 I'm now married to a Filipina. For 13 years with three beautiful 🥰🥰 we own a condom. In Lapu-Lapu Cebu Filipino people or some of the kindness swedish people in the world 🌍. But even here I have encountered racism. Very little but I do get look at different. Because a lot of Filipinos only know what they say about black people from TV and other. And what they hear from white people. 👀👀 I don't want to keep going on I salute you for the program 🍻🍻 I pray one day things will be different 🕊️🕊️🙏
Great video! When you see yourself as in a tribe. Black/white, Muslim/Christian, Catholic/Protestant, Republican/ Democrat. Then differences get emphasized by the tribal leaders to keep the leaders in power. The problem with tribalism each one wants reprisals for perceived bad deeds. Then tribes get slaughtered. It becomes a circle of hate & violence.
Great points. Balanced presentation. I am an immigrant to the US and have experienced racism and very hurtful behaviour because I happen to be a white woman. I been told minorities cannot be racist. That's a cop out.
Let's just cut to the quick, there is racism in the world and within every race and within the same race. The amount of racism seems moot ie) white or black etc. The world is becoming smaller and many "old ways" are dying - good bad indifferent. The world is becoming mixed and if we survive will be mixed, period. Guess what? Racism will survive. Looking forward to the regularly scheduled programming.
Different races, different colors, different looks, but the one difference that is unique is between black and white. I want not to be in any way prejudice, but I think because of the ways of the land these days and following the news, some may think I am because I respond negatively. Black and white people seem to seek out their own color although there are situations where black and white mingle. I am afraid walking down the street when I see a few young adult men walking towards me and it would not matter what color they were. I think black people will always deep inside have a negative feeling about white people and possibly the reason for that is history. It is understandable that black people would be disturbed by the writings of slavary but there were other ethnic groups that lived that life as well and is never talked about. Will this situation ever change, I hope so, but for now all we can do is be guided by kindness to all.
@@damonmelendez856 If walking up to someone's front door is trespassing, why are there doorbells? God have mercy on solicitors and delivery people who ring your doorbell. But in all seriousness, if you are asked to leave someone's property and refuse then that is a different story. But heaven forbid you have a conversation rather than immediately opening fire.
@@joshuab8255 we don’t yet know all the facts surrounding this. Clearly, there have been many false incidents in the past- like the Jussie Smollet hoax. And Trayvon martin. Black teens are a very dangerous demographic, clearly shown by fbi crime stats. So why do you automatically assume he’s innocent?
I used to live in Hawaii and I couldn’t agree more. Over there we could poke fun at different races and cultures but it never felt mean-spirited. (Shout out to Frank De Lima!) We embraced each other’s differences and learned from one another. Now I live on the mainland and feel that I have to be so careful not to inadvertently offend someone. It seems so ridiculous to me.
Paul, this was a very interesting conversation. You have very interesting conversations. I had a black family as neighbors in an affluent neighborhood and his family were awesome people and never heard a racist word. He was married to a white woman and we loved them. I'm sure it's not always that way but for us it was.
If given the choice, who would want to live in a black community? The whites accepted the black man and his white wife. Paul's guest speaker was beaten up trying to re-hap a black community and was victim to racial slurs. Scott Adams was right.
Spot on. I had a black cashier at Food Lion walk away from the register because I am white. I asked the manager if there is a problem and he told her to wait on me. Same Food Lion 3 boys walked over license credit cards and cash. I had my daughter with me and we picked all of it up and turned it into the manager at Food Lion he asked me what I was supposed to do with it. I said to lock it up or try to contact the person. She came back and found me in the Food Lion and wanted to purchase something for me and my daughter. I said no thank you because it was a lesson on what to do the right thing and she was offended by teaching my daughter the right thing to do. She was upset and said some racial words. I guess when you live in an area where 90% black it's only to be expected.

This is a good video, but it is a smoke screen. Two failed sexpats discussing racism in America. There is a huge amount of racism in Asia and the Philippines.
Good to know that your douchebag😅
Failed at what?
Sexpats, REALLY!
This is the dumbest video I’ve ever seen. what’s the purpose if 2 old white men who couldn’t be happy in their own country try to be experts on race. Wtf u don’t fckin live here fckin dumbsses
Stupid video what’s its purpose? I don’t get it. I live in the US I guess I can intelligently discuss race relations in a China according to you 2 dopes.
Scary times in the USA. Much of this polarization I believe is from varied special interests in government and NGOs. Keep everyone distracted and hating each other so no one will pay attention to what the government is doing, wars etc.
Omg I've been screaming that for 30 years!
Finally a comment that is spot on!
Yep not so much government but the 1 percent and corporate powers, one could say they pretty much control government with all the special interest money being fed to politicians. Ever wonder why we are one of the richest countries but never have had universal healthcare as the rest of the free world has.
Don’t forget the mainstream and social media (including Hollywood) that have taken a partisan side on which political party will garner more votes and higher ratings from wanton liberalism.
This polarization was started by Obama...look it up. He was the most racist president ever elected. An awful human being.
This is a much more real discussion than anything a TV news network would ever produce. Great, honest, real chat. From real people. :)
Thanks A MH
History and the true of story of black History is just being told. This guy isn't a person of Knowledge to speak on blacks and whites in America. I too have been married too black female a white female and now a filipinoh doesn't make me an expert and i'm black. He is giving a opinion and guess what I too worked in corrections for 27 years state of Washington different perspective and ask any Native American what he thinks. About the American that's a person you should interview Paul.
😢
This would be censored by the state run media in America. This would be covered up and hidden from the low IQ voters.
Each race is its own tribe. I don’t know why many people don’t understand that fact. It’s natural to want to be around, date, marry and breed with one’s own kind with people that look like us and have similar heritage as well as culture. That guest clearly wasn’t wanted in that black family. It’s a good thing he got divorced and out of it. People should talk about the benefits and less stress when staying with one’s own kind. Most crimes, especially murders, are statistically caused by black people. Not an opinion but a fact. Lots of racial tension is caused by the bogus liberal narrative between the fake news outlets and liberal politicians. They make lots of money doing it by dividing the people. It’s a sad thing but it’s where the US is currently as a society. Hopefully, things will get better.
What a great topic Paul. This is hugh and gutsy of you. Well done. Your guest articulated this in a way we all have in mind for years now but couldn’t put our words into it. Great video looking forward to a part 2 and more.
Keep it going. I look forward to meeting both of you.

After 20 yrs of being a non-union white bench tech, the company I worked for went out of business. I went and got my CDL and drove a truck for a few years. One of my white friends happen to mention there was an opening at the company he worked for but it was an entry level position in a union shop and my lead and supervisor would be black. Anyway at 57 yrs old I applied for and was hired on to the first job I really liked. Within 2 yrs I have had life changing pay increases, my bosses are great and I can't thank them enough!
I always think that if all folks simply obeyed the “golden rule” the world will be a better place. Starting with me!
We should all strive for community & behave with selflessness. In the old days, we called it “civic mindedness”, “manners” & “showing respect”. Seems like people have forgotten these important lessons.
Yeah but the world is more complicated than your kumbaya platitude. this guy lives so far from reality that he has to make an issue out of something that is no issue to areas with a diverse expat community.
You are correct.. the cause of problems in America is complicated & so multi layered. From economic disparities, racial disharmony, inequality in creed, sex etc.
Though I always think, it starts with us practicing tolerance and to always reflect on how I treat others that are different to me.
Do you feel he is spreading discord amongst the expat community with these comments?
Maybe it’s a topic that you should be willing to talk respectfully to each other in these communities.
@along7114 the old days are just that the old days and should stay there people grow and things progress unless you’re stuck in a time warp somewhere where old subjects resurface as new due to lack of exposure to the realities of life. The one dimensional expat enclave that exists in Duma/Valencia are stuck without new fresh relevant subjects for coffee shop discussion. They’ve done it they’ve moved away from blacks yet are still stuck in the old discussion as if it’s a current problem they deal with. If Duma was enticing to an attractive educated man under 60 I d go there and give them something to really talk about.fkin old pervs dating women 40 yrs younger than them.I have many expat friends in Cebu who would agree that this divisive subject has no place for expats in the Philippines and this cancer should be cut out before it spreads. Paul go back to telling your dumb desperate subscribers that they can move to the Philippines on $1000 per month before you get them believing that black/white racism is a widespread conversation in the Philippines. Leave that sht in the States.MAPA make the Philippines great again. kick out the over 60 expats taking advantage of 2o yr. old poor “women desperate for a better life. being pursued by grandpas a 20 yr. old in their own country would see for what they are creepyo ld men” fkin creeps!
@@eddieBoxer gee didn't see that in the video...daaa what an embasol.
I agree. Other things seemed to have been tossed to the wayside, like honesty, honor, ability to parse reality from rhetoric, and just caring - about what is right, about our environment, and about each other.
This is not a conversation that I don’t think can take place rationally in private let alone public where I currently live Shelby,NC. After living in Thailand for 5 years I can’t leave America fast enough. Within a year Davao will be my home and I will leave this nonsense behind me hopefully.

@@letsif ‘systemic’ hatred? We are all free to have our own likes/ dislikes; even our own opinions. Live your life and don’t worry about whether people like or dislike you. Do you think it’s even possible to force people to like you? That’s a fool’s errand.
@@letsif So what is the system of hatred? Did your propaganda tabloid master talking heads brainwash you to puke out daddy's word?
What's the system of hatred instituted? We'll wait....
You are wonderful Paul for allowing this to be a topic on your channel. I'm 49 black, male, and currently living in the Philippines partly behind racism and unavoidable ni××erism. Both of which are equally as toxic to my well-being. I have had many white-collar friends of the white race that have been helpful to my successes in life.
Doesn't matter whether you're black, white, Jewish, asian,latino, or mixed! We all desperately need the grace,mercy, and love of God. He only has one family, which race isn't a issue. We know when we've passed from death to life, when we love one another.
100 percent facts
sure, that’s what Jesus teach us, in his two commandments Matthew 22:37-39 but the grace of god is already been given to all of us through Jesus Christ by his death and resurrection, Romans 5:15-17 we just have to follow seriously what Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew
Amen!!! God is good and he is merciful not willing that any should perish but that we come to the knowledge of his son the Lord Jesus who givea eternal life to those who receive him.
Amen
I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion . Please allow me to buy you two, and of course Baby May, dinner on me. These topics should be discussed so people can clarify what they truly believe in their own minds, and why. I hope one day we can sit down and enjoy a lively discussion over a couple of drinks. Take care and stay healthy.
I grew up in Hawaii with many, mostly Pacific nations people. Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Hawaiian and many others to a lesser degree and of course Haole or known as Caucasian.
I went from a child to retirement age on Maui.
There is no doubt that racism is in both directions.
Because of the comedic element of being local in Hawaii and the various comedians of different race, people often spoke about other races, but mostly in a fun way, recognizing the differences and even celebrating those differences.
I have now lived in the east coast in Virginia and had never been around many black people, but here I am a minority compared to black people.
There is a very high awareness and walking in egg shells about saying it doing anything racist.
That being said, I notice so many black people talking and acting racist, yet they may not even think they are or that they are being mean. It's just that it is much more accepted to have them act this way, than it would be for a while person to.
I also have a granddaughter that is so smart and I love her to the moon and back, but now at the age of seven and being raised in a white family, her dad spends plenty of time with her and is a great father, but she is beginning to see more of the differences than she has as a younger child.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but it is different here.
In Hawaii, most races at the core of their race, have really what is viewed as racist attitudes, but not necessarily to be mean. They embrace their own cultures. Hawaii Filipino people that have been there many years are not as friendly as the Filipino people portrayed that live in the Philippines.
because white man stole their country . they have a long memory of white invade their islands put a guns too king and queen family too sign their land too usa.
Yeah… n Hawaii. We make fun of everybody and we still have fun! No worry, beef curry 😅 no need waste our time with pilau, ya brah?
Very intelligent conversation..Thank you for sharing..Educational. God please bring us all together.😇
Now, more than ever, I try to never talk race, politics or religion. People on all sides cannot see anything beyond their own view, no matter what.
I agree with you to a point . But, the problem of the matter is that, America was build without truely trusting in God. American whites have truely lost their moral compass.
You can talk about race, politics, and religion from the neutral grounds of the Philippines without any fear of repercussion from America’s politics and the media.

I think Paul has touched something important with his video segment on the deteriorating race-relations, as well as other things wrong with America that we Americans are afraid to talk about in our own society for fear of backlashes, but can do so freely in countries like the Philippines. Perhaps the solutions to America's problems will not come from the American people living in America, but from Americans living in other countries. Great video interview!
Yep rather kill police at the capital than fix the foundation of 99% of americas problems which have gone on since 1776
Fascinating conversation. I wish everyone here in America can talk on this topic with same amount of maturity and calm. Both you guys are A list TV personalities in my book.
The media only showing black people being murdered by police is by design. If the American public was aware of how many other groups were killed by the police, there would public outrage, and police reform would have happened years ago. Instead, we have a steady diet of police brutality on black people, which has the psychological effect of installing fear of police in the black community, while reinforcing stereotypes that only black people commit crimes, therefore there is no need for police reform when only black people are the criminals.
"A list TV" ... is that not an oxymoron?
Excellent video guys. I enjoyed & appreciated it. I was born in 1952 from a WWII veteran father (prior to the desegregation of the armed forces) and a rurally raised mother. In my experience trying to grow up in today's world I had to shed all of the racial ignorance & propaganda from my bigoted father. I guess my point is to address your guests perspective that maybe 10% max. of Americans are now racist. Perhaps that is true in some areas of the U.S., but in my Peoples Socialist Republic of Minnesota which is horribly left-wing radical, there are plenty of folks that are marginally racist. They would socialize with other races, work with them and even perhaps have a few friends that are racially diverse. However, if you ask them if they would be OK with their daughter marrying or even dating a black man, they would not approve at all. Some even harbor negative feelings about their daughters being involved with Hispanic, Asian and especially Muslim men. Identifying someone as racist is one thing, but seeing if they are cool with a black son-in-law and/or black grandchildren will perhaps surprise you even in a strong bastion of liberalism here in MN.
😂😂😂😂😂
Prejudice swings from both directions.
I remember working at a gas station on I-75 in middle Georgia back in the late 60s and early 70s, pumping gas and washing windshields for folks from places like Minnesota since I75 is the main route from the midwest to Florida. One afternoon in the dog days of summer an elderly man from someplace like lilly white Minnesota had the temerity to ask "15 year old white Southern male" i.e. me, "why do "you people" down here treat the "colored people" so badly?" I was shocked, and speechless. He was very lucky that I was raised to treat my elders with respect. If I didn't I'd have had a keen switch administered to my arse by my daddy until it wouldn't hold corn shucks. Frankly, I think the reason the old man asked me that was because he knew he could get away with it. No way he would have confronted my 25 year old cuz who also worked there because he would have been the one that toted the arse whipping. Looking back on it, I doubt very seriously if this old man would have approved of his daughter or granddaughter even dating a black dude.
In the 70"s I attended high school in Utah. At that school, of approximately 2000 students, there were two black females and one black male. He tried out for football and made the team. More often than not, others stated that he made the team because of his color. He became a high school star. He was a star at Utah State and then played with the Denver Broncos for three years. His name is Rick Paris.
Other notables from Granite High School in Salt Lake City were John Golden Richards ( Immaculate Reception), who went on to play for BYU and the University of Hawaii, then the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears. And Couch LaVell Edwards coached for eight years at Granite from 1954 to 1962. His teams never had a winning record. In 1962 he was hired by BYU; Edwards went on to lead BYU to a national championship in 1984.

Another person who doesn't understand there is hatred and racism in ALL countries. However as an expat it will take years to understand what the racism looks like in your new country because you will exist in the expat bubble.
if you are leaving the US for this reason, you are the definition of a loser or a liar
They want you to stay and pay ‘reparations’! They might actually get their way and prevent us from leaving.
I will never, ever leave America in my heart...best country on the planet...we have problems, but nothing compared to the rest of the world. We go through cycles of interna conflict and always come out better.
@@effewe2 I have been here for 18 years and DON'T miss a fucking thing about the USA!!!!
I often wonder about the motivation behind racism. As a black man, I’ve been on the receiving end of acts of hate and discrimination solely because of my color. Conversely, I have been helped me throughout my life by white people who have taken an interest in seeing that I do well. As a matter of fact, I’ve been helped more by whites than African Americans.
I live in America and have been married to a Filipina for over 30 years. I like visiting the Philippines but don’t want to live there.
Have you done any vetting of your guest? I wish he were a bit more specific with examples.
I agree that many people of color continue to use slavery and racism as a reason not to depend upon themselves to succeed in the U.S. We continue to our own worst enemy. However, I believe your guest mistakes resentment for racism.
Enough rambling (by me). Good topic, needs more discussion by open minded people.
I spent time in China a couple years ago. I'm an American also. China is definitely not a diverse community yet racism is alive and well. Dark skinned Chinese are said to be poor farmers, uneducated and feeble. I believe racism is in our genes.😞
Well said
LOL. Define racism. These days, racism has become meaningless.
My question to you is when a black person expresses his or her resentment towards white people for what they’ve done, everyone accepts it at face value. But when a white person expresses their resentment towards black people for what they’ve done, it’s considered racist. Would you expand on those comparisons?
@@ArnoldSommerfeld Racism has become a political weapon for money and power.
Paul as a man both married to a black woman and now a Philippine women I see a huge differences. Now my black wife I met in Kenya. She came to Phoenix and we have two children together. Younger guys were so impressed with your marriage older people were not. Blacks from Africa do not act or behave anything like American blacks and they do not even seem to get along. My Philippine wife is much more caring but they are very similar in so many ways and money, family and lifestyle and yes they both like to continue to associate only with people from there own country. My Philippine wife is a much more happy person and she is committed to our relationship.
I spent 13 months in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia. You are spot-on about black Africans being completely different from "African-Americans." It is NOT race ! It is the CULTURE !
I noticed that myself about white people. The white women in Germany, France, Russia etc behave nothing like American white women. (sarcasm).
The reason why Africans and American blacks behave differently is because they are from different countries , continents, and cultures.
@@Dean-b2f
In the 90s I worked for an IT company where I had to travel and had to hire about 30 temps for each job site. One thing that was glaringly clear was that the African Nationals I would hire had a willingness to learn, genuine kindness, and a strong work ethic. I made many lifelong friends during those years.
The mindset however of most of the African Americans was more of about when breaks were, if they can come late or leave early. This is a generalization, not all were like this but certainly a noticeable majority.
So, no its not about the color of the individual at all.
The African will have a totally different experience growing up compared with the African American. Of course they are not the same, no more than a Russian is typical in thought belief and experiences of a White American with Russian ancestry. I agree that it is culturally based, but recognize that culture is not created in a vacuum. It's complicated..
i had a gf from eritrea and she used to always say africans and african-americans are not the same race; she moved to long beach as a teenager and was always picked on by black americans at high school as were her siblings
This was an interesting and thought-provoking video. Often times it is difficult for us as individuals to see just how much our views and beliefs have been shaped by the people and the institutions around us. Racism and hate cannot survive in a vacuum...it needs a supporting structure. Institutionalized racism that is allowed to remain in our courts, our government, and our religious organizations needs to be seen for what it is and rooted out. If we are all willing to level the playing field, then hopefully in a decade or two we won’t need to have this type of discussion. We can turn our attention to sandy beaches and lovely Filipinas.
INSTITUTIONAL RACISM.... what a lousy phrase invented by the democrats, which to me is actually crap being thrown back on their faces. What is an INSTITUTION..... we are all members of all these institutions one way or another which are the government in all levels, its agencies and all private groups such as businesses, societies and practically all form of communities down to the family level. So democrats are saying we are all racists without exception since we are all members of these communities. but to a certain level, i believe that, even blacks can be the most racist people. that is why on the issue of CRT i am not actually opposed to teaching it in schools. but they have to tell the whole story, the democrats should admit that during the slavery days, they did not allow their slaves to be educated. they are beaten to pulp when discovered learning how to read and write. they were told they have no capacity to learn and that sank into their culture up to these days. Many many blacks are still unsuccessful getting out of that bondage.
When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, tolerance was taught in schools and universities. Right now intolerance is taught in schools and universities.
Video turned out better than I expected after just seeing the topic. Based on the last census, the population in USA consists of approximately 12.2% Black, 18.5% Hispanic, 60.1% White, 5.6% Asian, 2.8% Multiple Race, 0.7%, 0.2% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Currently, the emphasis in USA is to have black actors in every commercial, have black actors in every move or TV show, and to have a black emphasis in every social event. Now who is over represented???????? Black Coaches Association, Black Congressional Caucus, Black Entertainment Television: If any of those started with the word "White" there would be violent demonstrations in the streets claiming racism!! When I worked in law enforcement and responded to domestic violence calls the households I responded to were overwhelmingly black. I worked as a military policeman for many years. In 1976, over 80% of all violent crime at Fort Hood was committed by black soldiers. The majority of Blacks that I have known are racist. The majority of whites, Asians, and Hispanics I have know are not racist. If someone I encounter, whether socially or through business gives off racist vibes, I avoid any association with that person. California is considering awarding $1.2 million to some blacks for reparations?? How many of those were living during the time of slavery?????? When I worked traffic as a law enforcement officer, I was observing the vehicle actions not the color of the person driving. I usually couldn't tell what race the driver was until I got up to the vehicle. Racism is wrong. Discrimination is wrong. You should never be hired or promoted because of the pigment of your skin. It has been my experience that anytime a black isn't hired or promoted they pull the "race card". Some stores and restaurants are closing in areas of Chicago, Oregon, and California because of unchecked black violence and looting. When is "White History Month"? Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. I am leaving the USA soon to escape the liberal nonsense.
Why would there be a white history month. European history is taught everyday of the year in school. White is the default. Labeling “black” with all this nonsense says a lot. We do need reparations. There was a economic result from slavery and it was never paid. Pay us and we can talk about being cool. Pay your bill Caucasian people. You owe us a check
@@Waynekingalin Yes, even though the Hispanic population percentage in the USA is much higher than the black population, the focus is only on making commercials and TV shows and movies with blacks, not Hispanics or Asian. I have been acquainted with persons of all races over the years. I have observed racism by the majority of blacks. I have never witnessed racism by Asians or Hispanics. I have know some whites that were racist but that has decreased over the years. I'll finally be out of the USA in a week. I'm just fed up with the unchecked violence of blacks and the ridiculous pandering to 12% of the population.
Dont worry this is all being done on purpose to ignite the White People...all planned.
I have been with my Philippina for over 8 years and been around houndeders of Philippinos and not one time have anyone ever made me feel like an outcast or unwelcome .
The same issues are also common in Australia,that is one of the reasons I’m living in Thailand,great topic Paul,
As a black man living in usa your guest had good accurate points and some personal opinions. I love how you interjected points to look at it from both sides. You did it several times and i thank you Paul.
Hard to say if it will take 60 or 100 yrs before actual change occur. I agree some blacks are sensitive and live improvised lives and have a crab mentality, sad to say. Also there are blinded underlined white privilege in America that exist as well. My belief is when the majority is challenged and fail to show equality then unfortunately policies are created to keep the underprivileged bound.
You would be terribly ostracized from all sides to have such conversation in current usa. Thanks you ripping off the bandage from a hemmorhaging America crisis
Blacks do not want equality, they want power. The USA has Black Mayors, Black Police Chiefs, Black State and Federal Senators, Congressman, Black Governors, Black Generals, Black Actors, Black Artists, the lists goes on. Yet more blacks are killed by blacks. More police officers are killed by blacks. Nothing will change until the black culture changes.
Really bro
This guy is completely off his rocker. He’s spent too much time as a CO. My dad was a CO in Vacaville for 24 years by the way. I wish I could tell you the truth face to face Paul. But these guys are putting”niggas” and “black people” in the same category. There’s a huge difference within our culture.
It looks like you guys could be brothers. Thanks Paul love your videos
Thanks!
"When skin pigmentation causes indignation that's self-incrimination, one's value must be self-contain all who embrace such hate will cause their own pain, when nothing is gained."
No one hates unless you allow hate to flourish for selfish gain. What is happening in America today is not about hate that happened two centuries ago (all those people are dead now). Instead, it about using race and ethnicity as a political weapon for one's quest for money and power---just like what happened to the weaponization of the pandemic, border control, sexual identity, and other once-neutral issues that have been transformed into controversial agendas for political gain. And the media (including Hollywood), and the propaganda they ran, are the main instigators of those so-called "Hate."

Great Video/Interview Paul 😊.
Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏
I’ve come to the conclusion that what we call racism is not a moral failing, but an ugly part of our nature that has always been with us. Like impatience, pride, gluttony, etc. it is something we have to fight (within ourselves) to overcome. Race is just a tribal identifier, but it could be your faith, your political beliefs, or the fact that you are the people over the hill. I think the news media in the U.S. knows they can get peoples attention by poking this issue with a stick, and it does not help the problem. My local news in San Francisco uses racism stories as filler on slow days. Strangely, the same media almost only reports black crime. It is almost as if they encourage and foster fear of black men. They do it for profit.
I agree with you. The issues we face as people in this life have to do with our fallen nature. The book of Romans written by another Paul 😊 discusses this and the remedy if people receive the gift.
In my own opinion,mostly the old guys they come to our country,first their financially,or. Money because when they use their money to Philippines become bigger,second they can find a very very young woman,might most of dislike my words,but that's reality.
Congratulations to both men for having courage to see past racial lines and especially your guest honestly help us with his hard earned valuable experiences.
They didn't see too far. It's amazing how the race they are talking about can watch this and hear something completely different. This video didn't help racism in any shape, form or fashion.... at all in any way possible.
@@ANinjaforReal People have been enslaving each other since rocks were young. Race is not the reason for abuse, which is opportunistic. You had ancestors, like me, who mistreated others. Trying to get even by arbitrarily abusing whoever you can will not improve things. It only creates an explosion of injustice.
@@ANinjaforReal sorry but I beg to differ, it got us talking an accepting the fact that we are now farther apart then we've been in 15 years.
It was declining up until 2008 and since then it's gotten worse every year.
Arguably the most interesting and eye-opening conversation you've hosted, Paul. CONGRATS !!!
Great topic. All I can say is I hope you do not get demonatized or cancelled due to this topic! I grew up being able to talk to people on lots of topics and if we did not agree that was okay. That all seems to have changed in America today. I am hopeful it will change back to the MLK concept of being judged by our character versus our skin color but that is not the deal now. :(
New to this channel. I'm married to a Filipina which is the only reason why I started watching Paul's videos. I find them interesting and informative. I started watching the video with Gerard and thought that I should go back to the first video. I thought this was a really good, honest conversation with someone who has a lot of life experience about this topic. I'm not American but bravo to you fellas for tackling such a sensitive topic.

Glad you enjoyed it!
In 1991 a famous, intelligent, educated American said:
"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved."
Jesse Jackson
He was ignored. Nothing has changed.
Was that before or after his “hymietown” comment? 😂
The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are just alternate names for a hypocrite.
He later backpedalled, saying some crap about how whites fare better in the justice system
“Here’s a thought to keep in mind, those you change are yours not mine, other people’s action have a plan, you should know it before you join in”
Do you know the context behind the comment? Could it have been a a meeting addressing gun violence in the streets of Chicago? It's important to give context so as not to mislead people. After the Iran Contra Scandal created a drug epidemic on the Streets of major cities fighting over territory went from fist to guns. It went from Revolvers to Semi-Automatics. The speech Jackson gave was in reference to how life had become to the people caught I the middle of the fight over drug revenue. The same thing is happening across America as we speak. If you live in South Boston living in poor communities you are worried about anyone walking upon you at night. Ask Mark Walberg what his live was like before he became famous and he will tell you he was a gang member who loved inflicting pain on people who looked different than him.
Important conversation. Cooperation and progress will only be achieved through truth and dialogue.
This was a excellent interview and discussion and provided a lot of insight into how things were in the past & present between the two cultures.
Paul this is a incredible video and thank you both for the perspective. This was and interesting point of view very enlightening.
Older white men move to the Philippines to regain privilege, and old black men move to the Philippines to experience privilege for the first time.
😂 not bad 😅
The only way we change is if we talk about this. Thank you for this Paul.
Fascinating video and talk. From the guest's point of view and starting from when he was in the system but decided to work in that same system to get a pension and the more important societal issue of race. Again, enjoyed the video and was listening to each and every word and the wind made it even more rewarding. (lol)
Excellent conversation! Generally speaking, I think you guys are on point. Thanks for bringing s few more things to light for me.
Paul this is a very good subject to talk about. Most are afraid to deal with subject. But i must inform both of you that white is not a color but a class. Billionaire and above.
Let me first say one thing, nowadays it's not about race anymore but a complex cultural differences. Of course, race is still an issue and will never be resolved until people in leadership talked about the right and wrong and not be divisive or one sided on that issue. I think Paul's friend here (he never mentioned his name), has the right experience or expertise to talk about race relations. At 6:47 I agree on that statement, I worked 31 yrs at LA City Hall as a computer network operator and my co-workers are about 60% black, there's time(although rarely) when I work with a group of black personnel and I would hear negative things about white people and then when I work with a group of white people never heard anything negative about black people. I'm Pilipino that's why I'm often invisible or they would think that I would not be interested about the conversations, now this people are all my friends and have 31 years of interactions and we are friendly with each others; whenever we work together - black, whites and asians. I think the more race relations are taught in schools or talked about in Network TV, the more there's going to be an understanding or tolerant sentement on race relations. Of course, there is always going to be 1 white guy or 1 black guy or 1 asian guy that would hate you because you have different skin color, but nowadays and into the future it would more likely(hoping) be a rarity. People are getting educated now, and I think there would be time in the future that a person will be judged not because of skin color or social preference but because of his/her accomplishment or integrity. In conclusion: 31:18 Paul is right on, because he never see people as either white or black etc., he see's them as either a dick or a nice guy, I totally agree.
Regarding the "comments made about black people not standing up for a white person invited to an all black gathering": I would be very surprised if that actually happened. I am black and if I invited a white person into my home, I would do my best to make him/her feel welcomed specially if I were the spouse . I would not allow such behavior to surface without correcting it immediately. Black people are some of the most welcoming people to meet. Simply stated, if this happened, it was wrong for no one to speak up against such behavior.
@Ivory Taylor Exactly! I was saying the exact same thing to myself, plus a couple other things. This is why I thought both sides should have been represented together. People are coming to a conclusion from a person said experience. Lord have mercy! Of course there are troubled people all around, but the great majority of people I've known thru the decades are not the way described... We have far more in common. I love all you brothers regardless of pigmentation. 😊
I would never let someone disrespect any guest at my home, they all are guest and deserve respect. Godly love over comes hate.
As a non-black, non-white person who grew up in a predominantly black community, I have found blacks to be far more accepting of non-blacks in their communities than any other race I've encountered in my 59 years, and the several countries I've traveled to. Does that mean a white man wouldn't be assaulted, or be robbed? No. But it has more to do with the environment he's in than the community he's a part of.
I had a million things to say when I first watched this video but the fact of the matter is that I'd just be wasting my breath. As I mentioned elsewhere, I wouldn't be as concerned by the 2/100 guys who might use the N word as I would be about the many who would be thinking it.
Can't wait for Jesus' return. That will put an end to all this madness.
@TB 63 unfortunately these days it's quite the opposite I havnt found blks to be far more excepting than any other Race not of late
@@petercrisp8314 This discussion is far more complex than can be addressed here on YT so we'll just agree to disagree. Is that even allowable anymore?
Enjoy this discussion!!! Paul, please have more meetings with friends like these. It is very educational.
WOW
Excellent video, clean, straight and crisp. As a 62 year old African American I applaud your honesty and the experiences you went through. One thing that makes a Big difference in general are Black folks raised in the City vs Suburbs and Country. As one who was raised in the Burbs I frequently get flack, tension, disfavor even among my own people and if you get into skin tone issue its a alot of fiction. I like your vid cause of the calm nature and not hysterical emotions that could be. Many African American Men or Women I believe want to leave the craziness, pressure, wildness of Americans and probably Canada's race/ethnic craziness and only those who keep the division & craziness going is making a lot of money. The research into BLM is true and it was a Huge success for the wrong reasons and generally the Black Community received nothing or very little from it: But the Trans & Alphabet community received Millions. Any way one Great thing when descent Black men & Women leave or explore out of the American/west Matrix is that that burden is lifted off and we can just be Americans/Canadians/Foreigners in another land. consequently to clarify something. Passport Bros. 1. Its just Western men (Outside the common Military Diaspora traveling to or moving to another country. 2. The reason its called "Passport Bros" is that since Black Men are known to call each other Bro, This term somehow was attached to this select group of traveling men: at the very foundation its just about western men traveling/visiting or becoming an expat. Why now? Well outside of mainly military majority Black men didn't have the resources/maybe desire/opportunity/Negative images of Black Men on media distributed on Movies & TV around the world and the Fear it caused against us (Just ask your Foreigner wife if old enough to recount the images of Black Men on American movies/TV and you'll get the gist of it)/ etc etc. Now since the advent of remote work, more open & Better opportunities, improved finances, better imagery etc more Non military Eligible Black Men are now following more in the footsteps of their Caucasian counter part. Hence the so-called Passport Bros phenomenon. Sorry so long. Kudos to you two for handling a difficult topic.:)
So you heard nothing wrong with anything Paul and notepad guy said? When you and two other black people stand together do you start saying negative things about white people?
Well intentioned, balanced, and informative. This is the type of discussions that need to be taking place. It was a pleasure to watch. The follow up video with Gerard was painful to watch. I almost turned it off several times. But I soldiered through hoping there was a silver lining, or at least some concession on the part of the guest. There were not. All his “counter arguments” and I use the term loosely, did nothing but support the ascertain that the majority of the burden of continuing racism lies at the feet of blacks. I already knew this to be the case. This video just reinforced what I already knew to be true. I don’t pretend to know the answer. Hell there may not be one. But, I sincerely think for there to be any significant gains it will need to come from the black community.
Having come from a very similar background. Except I served in the military for 21 years. I overall agree with his assessments. I too love black people in general and choose to worship at a predominantly black church.
Thanks for sharing this important topic. I too (white male in the USA) was married to a black American woman for 8 years.
So much of what was said here has also been my experience. Ditto about the prejudice I experienced within the AA community. Surprisingly I had thought going into it I was going to get more flack from my fellow whites, but it turns out I got the comments from her side of the family and friends.
I personally feel that the woke culture of today has divided us even more bc everyone is hyperaware of their "tribe" and is obsessed with being one of the tribe and not with our common identity as Americans. Fanning tribal flames is not how you create a strong nation. It's how you splinter one.
My advice to anyone is what my father told me going into it - marriage is already hard enough, but it adds additional hardship when you are from a different culture. It can be done, but it's not an easy road.
Interesting topic. Hopefully you can interview someone of color who to speak on this topic as well. I spoke to a black gentleman in his 40s in Dumaguete who was coming out of Whynot and he spoke to me and we got into a conversation and he said that he left America and moved to the UK to work and live because of racism and I asked him if it was because of racism from whites and he said that he was tired of it period from both sides and just didn’t want to live his life with racism and hate so he works in the UK and visits the Philippines every 6 months and stays here for a month.
US has black mayors, black governors, black police chiefs, black generals, black state and federal senators, black movie stars and artists, but USA is racist. Scott Adams was right.

The argument here is how you define racism. Many black people think they can't be racist because they are the minority. While most people believe racism is treating someone poorly or thinking poorly of someone because of their race.
hey Paul. Been checking your channel for awhile. First time hearing this subject from you. Not talking about the content so much, just that you had the courage to do it. It is not hard to get emotional about this subject as it brings up alot. Mos t of your videos do not have many darkskinned people, so called black or african americans You have helped alot of folks come over there for a better qualty of like, I have been encouraged by the info you provided and I thank you for that. So as a person with darkskin, thanks for all you continue to do and your courage to do this video.
That means a lot to me Richard
takes no courage to let a racist old man blather
@@HumbleTravels Exactly, platforming a racist old man spewing the same old tropes from the white nationalist playbook is not a good look.
@@HumbleTravels funny!!!!!
Derp. Define racist.
Outstanding discussion. Looking forward to part 2.
Paul, I enjoy your channel. I like how you are labelling your time in the Philippines as discovering your true self. For this topic though, I do not see much value in debating who is more racists than the other. Would it not be more important to just explore the topic of racism - what contributes to it, how it can be reduced and the benefit of living in a society that does not see race as a negative. In any case, I take your intent as probing the topic with the idea that racism on any level is wrong. That is something I strongly support. Enjoy your time in the Philippines!
it's a start
@@seattle40 no it does nothing.
@@sandrabentley8111 Completely agree. It does nothing to debate who is the more racists group other than create more divide.
This video did absolutely nothing to help with any problem
@@ANinjaforReal Well we can't speak for everyone, maybe it did help some viewers to understand, such as the topic of racial profiling of black men vs whites, but I don't think this topic was something that I wanted to hear coming from a white man who already has privilege, seems a little bit slanted in my opinion, like 400 years of slavery and continued bias up until till 2023 (a black man found decapitated in Mississippi last month, told his mom he was being harassed by white men on his new job ), like you really think black folks don't have a reason to not want to deal with whites folks, c'mon SMDH.
I had been planning a move to the PH prior to the "global Medical emergency". Needless to say, I was delayed by several years. After bouncing to 8 different countries (mostly SE Asia) while PH laws relaxed I have finally made it here. I had a much different strategy than most gringos. I opted to head north to cooler climates and avoid all the Expat BS. I’m in a small town now where I am THE ONLY GRINGO and have been treated like a king. And I got a nice country (providence) girl that is incredible. So If cooler temperatures (78 today/rest of PH 97+) head north, but bring a positive open mind and please MIND YOUR MANNERS, we are all guest here, bad manners affects us all.
Hello Mike. Do you mean Baguio or someplace else? I also want PH but cooler, Robert
I'm an American indian mix but can't prove my heritage yet I think people are people to be loved we all bring something to the table
I have no problem with color & I'm in America no issues here with my life it's a government issue divisions are great for conquer
If I'm not mistaken racism can only be practiced by a group of people who weld different aspects of power and authority.
Black people can practice bigotry, biasness, ridicule and prejudice BUT not racism. Correct me if I'm wrong please
That is true. History has shown us the horror from those with power to subjugate an entire race. Little Timmy from Louisiana beating this guy up in the 7th grade is a silly comparison.
Wrong definition your explaining
@EllVTV yes most definitely in africa
That’s why I loved watching your vlog Paul cause your guests were they have interesting story in life.
I am white.
I am glad he clarified the proportions of whites vs black in population etc in the statistics. Things are still s bit twisted due to the “war on drugs”.
At the airport in Chicago heading your way😊
Excellent discussion...I truly hope everyone can take a breath and see the light of coming together is better than tearing apart.
That will never happen here in America. Racism is too ingrained I'm sorry to say 🤨
I am a Filipino and I can tell you guys that racism is not a thing in the Philippines. In fact, I think most of us Filipinos only became aware of what racism is when the internet became available. Color of skin doesn't matter to us. As long as you show respect to us, to your local Filipino community, you will be respected as well. If you see some of us stares at you, don't worry, it's just a curious Filipino stare. Because we don't get to see a lot of Black or White people that's why we're kind of amaze seeing you guys in person. Thank you Paul for another great interview. God bless you 🙏
Racism is all throughout the Philippines. Women are judged by how dark the skin is. The whiter you are the more favorable you become. As a foreigner we also get skin taxed based on us just being a foreigner. That’s absolutely racist.
@@izzyandcris8429 I disagree. We don't judge women by their skin color or or give them special treatment because they have lighter complexion. But it is true that most women in the Philippines wants to have whiter skin because of colonial mentality. The Philippines was a colony of Spain for more than 300 years and during that time Filipinos are treated second class citizen for having darker or brown skin. Since then, most of Filipinos especially in women have this thought that whiter skin is beautiful. But again, Filipinos wanting to have whiter skin complexion is not the same with being a racist. And again, having a whiter skin will not guarantee you to land for job your targeting to. What I can say is that, Filipino employers will favor those women who have college or bachelor's degree than those who don't have. So therefore, we more value education than the color of the skin. ( Sorry if my grammar is wrong)
@@IkaUnaOmniGods okay, I’ll take that. But how about the Skin tax foreigners get?
@@izzyandcris8429 about the skin tax, I only heard of that now. You will pay of tax because of your skin color? Oh my God that's ridiculous. If all Filipinos knows about this skin tax, whoever created that law, he/she will be bash by most of Filipino. That's not fair.
@@mcluvin65 Hi Dennis. That's true most of Filipino women don't want to be exposed in the sun because they don't want to get a darker skin. As what I replied to Izzy and Cris, most of Filipinos especially women, then want to have white skin as the effect of Colonial mentality brought to us by Spanish. But again, wanting to have a whiter skin is not racist. Or maybe my knowledge about racism is shallow. If that is the case, pardon me. I didn't know that wanting to have a lighter or whiter skin can still considered as racist. But anyway, I can assure you that no matter what is your skin color, you can always befriend with Filipinos. In fact, we are always excited to have a Foreigner friends because we get to practice our english communication skills lol. 😄
mexicans are really friendly like filipino based on my experience. I live in california. and a lot of my friends are mexican and when I am invited to their home everyone is very welcoming. I see this at Quinceañera all the time Ive been to many. never once did I not feel welcome.
Mexicans weren't enslaved by white people either. I think slavery is the biggest roadblock between black and white people and it will never go away. How would white people feel if they were enslaved? 🤔
Majority of Mexicans hate black people, trust me. I had many, many Mexican friends, and when I listened to their parents, I hear the most racist terms used against our people. I could never imagine why Mexicans hate us, when we had nothing to do with the ass whipping (Meixcan American War) and the subsequent land that was lost. Hell, Mexicans worship white folks, just like the dumb Filipinos worship White America.
The Mexican culture and the Philippine culture are very similar. That is because they sere both colonized by Spain. The Spanish culture runs deep in both countries
@@kellybell9235 Being enslaved and being colonized are completely different things 🤨
@@frankellis9627 im not sure i understand your comment so were the Mexicans enslaved or the Filipinos enslaved by the Spaniards
Too bad you have a video about race. That's all the media in the States seems to focus on. I have been here for fifteen years and race is not a problem . Don't bring up and carry on about racism. Keep to Philippine and Asian issues as you have always done.
Agreed!
I'm glad Jason is able to be purely clinical about this topic and that his experiences have not affected him in any emotional way. I hope Paul interviews Jordan Peterson next.
Judge someone on their personal character not their skin color.
yeah that never works out so well. pattern recognition is key to survival.
This is a very thorny issue. Scott Adams (Dilbert creator) gave a very good advice: "There's no fixing this. Just walk away."
Black man here. My knee jerk reaction to his position was, that’s not true. I decided to have an open mind and hear him out because he has street cred. After hearing him, I still disagree. I’m living in Cebu. If I get down your way Paul, I will try to reach out.

You need specifics - all you did was make a statement without any objective evidence.
@@effewe2 This is not the forum to rebuke a 50 minute conversation. Only to state that there are alternative opinions. When I am in Dumaguette, I will gladly sit with Paul and present my perspective.
Wow Paul great interview Jay great insight amazing. For once Paul, your questions which are your strength usually , got in the way of the answer a bit. Still amazing to put it in perspective one of the most interesting hours of discussion I have heard in 60+ years. I’ll run it again and give you more specific feedback or examples of what I mean by questions on the timeline.

@@arnoldjohnson3317 This interview is bold, refreshing, and straightforward. Can’t ask for anything more. Paul just made a follower out of me.
Great video. I am almost the same age as you guys. Lived in Texas all my life.
I agree with all that was said about racism.
Bussing ( desegregation ) black kids to white schools was the solution the " smart " leadership came up with when I was in school. As white kids we thought it was a little silly but we did not mind at all that we had an extra dozen or so black kids in our school. Didn't help racism because we were not racist to begin with.
As a matter of fact, I recently ran into one of my black schoolmates at the gym. We talked for a good thirty minutes about our fellow schoolmates - who was still in town, who had passed away, what we were doing these days. It mattered not one bit that I am white and he is black. We were friends ! Just like when we were in school.
Having said that, there is always one or two racists in the mix. White , black or Hispanic, there will always be one jerk in the crowd.
A house divided cannot stand. There are those who fan the flames.
Yes this video is one of them.
I'm 62 & I was raised in a family of racism it never made me think other races are less & I was not raised to know God but I do believe now
Super interesting and brave video. I’d love to see this as a series of discussions Paul.
It’s a super complicated subject.
I believe that our upbringing means more than anything when it comes to how we feel about other ethnicities.
I am a 62 year old white woman that was raised in the south by white southern parents.
I was bussed past my local white school to a school in a predominantly black neighborhood in middle school. It was a traumatic experience, as I was a small blond blue eyed weakling kid that proceeded to get robbed, picked on, beat up and pushed around by black girls that were literally physically bigger than my mom.
Our family 3 times in my childhood were victims of crime by black people. Robbery of a store my parents owned 2 times by black men. The last robbery resulted in my father coming out of a back storage room to see 2 black men with guns pointed at my mom. My dad pulled his gun and shot at them. One died. The family of the guy that died tried suing my parents saying it was racially motivated. They lost. But, the publicity ruined our family business and we received death threats until my mom and dad packed us up in the night and we had to move to another state. My parents lost their house and everything they’d worked for. Humble house, but our home!
Then, in our new state several years later, our house was broken into while we were asleep in our lower middle class home.
They stole my moms purse with the keys to my dads vintage Cadillac that he had restored himself after working all day as a mechanic.
It was a distinctive car, and my dad drove all over the town of Fort Lauderdale every night for 2 weeks until he found the car in a projects parking lot and called the police. The man that was arrested was black.
Never once, not once have I ever heard my parents disparage black people.
We were taught that there are bad apples in every race and creed in the world, and as my dad said “their hate doesn’t make us hateful people”.
My dads long gone and my brother is married to a black woman.
My nephew and his wife that are white, just adopted a black baby given up for adoption by a drug addicted mom.
Apparently, this lack of hate toward people, simply based on the color of their skin has been passed on on my side of the family.
Interestingly, I just had lunch with a niece of my husband’s. They were all raised rich, and honestly had very little contact with black people.
She is one of the most racist people I’ve ever encountered when it comes to black people. I had to cut the lunch short because basically tell her I was uncomfortable even hearing the things she said. Apparently, her upbringing was much different than mine.
Honestly, if I’m afraid of anyone, it’s not a skin color, it’s people of any color that are desperate. Poverty, drug addiction, and being raised by bad people can make people do terrible things.
PS, as if my post wasn’t long enough. My husband and I are retiring to Mexico in another week. According to my niece, Mexicans are rapists and are all drug cartel and we’ll be dead within a year.
What your point ? Of course American and African blacks dont act the same . American Filipinos and native Filipinos dont act the same either
I would not retire to Mexico as most Mexicans I know will not go there but go ahead and ignore the warning. Thank you for telling your story and ignore rodney9772.
@@rodney9772 Strange comment. Her point is that despite her family experiencing hardships due to blacks they were civilized about it and not racist. They are better than me as I was not racist but after getting robbed by some blacks multiple times I see them differently. Why is it that so many blacks want to steal and commit crimes?
Long time watcher, second time commenter. Economist joined with a Ph.D. in statistics living in the USA. I have enjoyed my trips to the PH. I have enjoyed your videos. There were some good moments in the video, but a lot of pure cringe. By your own stats a black man is 5 times more likely to be killed by police based on population not 3 times as suggested by your guest. When he said globalism is dying was the end for me. Much respect, maybe coffee in Feb 2024...? So much more I would say but out of respect not in a public forum Paul.
Paul, your follow-up question to "how many white guys out of 100 would use the N-word if a black guy walked into a room with them should have been: How many white guys would come to the defense of the black guy called the N-word?
Better yet, how many of them would think it?
No one ever came to my defense in that situation (and it's happened a lot). Imagine the outcome if they had.. the ripple effect of seeing and hearing good things being done.
good question from a black are a white guy ? blacks always say that word too them selfs.
I grew up under like circumstances as your guest did, so I could relate to your conversation. Good video, God bless 🙏!
Paul, Awesome video. I too worked in law enforcement & corrections in California after a 22 year Military Career. I concur that Education & 2 parent households are key factors effecting black-white relations. I submit that HollyWeird & Music Industry could step up and grab hold of not only young minds, but their older siblings as well for more positive interrace cooperation. Think of the racist dying that does not want the other race operating on them or donating an organ. Think of a well sung song by various artists of different races. Think of the Main Street News Networks showing different races helping each other in so many aspects of life. But most important - Get rid of identifiers! Men go in men's rooms, women go in women's rooms, other than that we judge each other on character and skill level (PERIOD)! Houses of Worship need to open their eyes and be honest with all they wish to speak to, GOD made us all & loves us all!
Terry, well said.
Great conversation. Your guest's last statements about education and economic opportunity were spot on. I worked with many professional and high-earning black people throughout my working career. It is becoming a class issue. These coworkers had nothing good to say about "hood rats." Just as I have nothing good to say about racist white rednecks. My best friend here in Thailand is a Black American man. I even can overlook that he is from Philly:)
I don't think it's an education or economic situation. Look at today's campuses spewing racial hate against the white man. Universities are now offering segregated graduations. It's the black culture. Blacks need to change.
The key is where you fall in the socio economic ladder. I worked in government and the bosses I had who were black had the same goals as there white co-workers. Get promoted, educate their children, and get along with everyone black or white. People can get along if the want to.
Hi Paul,
First, I hope this message finds you well. WOW!! This is one of the hardest, sensitive, and controversial topics to talk about on TV, internet and UA-cam and yet you’ve managed to handle it well.
Living and working in the eastern part of the U.S., I’ve seen “it” all. Racism has always been the frontline among neighbors, friends, in schools, in the communities, and even in corporate America. It exists everywhere (U.S.) and I find that totally absurd, sick and inhuman.
Well, I guess I’m sort of a lucky guy because racism does not get into me. I think being a professional and well cultured individual helps me get through any racial remarks. Furthermore, my parents raised me to be a good person, to be a good Christian, and not to judge people regardless of their “background and status.” Just so you know, I like everybody and I don’t look at the color of their skin. In fact, I have lot of white and black friends, white and black co-workers and Hispanic neighbors. I live in the suburb and my neighbors are whites, blacks, Europeans, Hispanics, Arabs, and Asians. If I get out of my house and I see them, I smile and talk to them or simply say “hi” just to break the silence, the stare, and the shyness. Have a good day, sir! 👍👍🙌🙌
Thank you so much for sharing Dave. Wish you all the best. Thanks a lot for watching the video.
You’re so welcome! 👍👍👍🙌🙌
I must be crazy, even without this experience I see this happening everywhere.
I'm English and have always known this. I often went to night clubs (dancing) in black areas and felt this always.
Ealing, Streatham, Brixton being my main experiences and there are a lot more.
I was born in the east end of London, cannot live there again because the area has been taken over by the "minorities".
Thank goodness I now live in the Philippines (although very racist) but mainly against their own kind.
prejudicial to our own i should say ...racist towards chinese and indians most of the itme i think.
And now minorities want to come take over the Philippines.
NOW YOU ARE THE "MINORITY", THE IRONY
But I also think it's absolutely ridiculous 🤣 to ask a white man. Where he think is more racism. I was married to a white woman for more than 20 years. An encounter tons of racism in her family and friends 😞 most of the time it's just more scuttle I come from the Bay area and Los Angeles area in my younger days I've had issues with police. Even though both my parents were in my life married for 50 years 🕊️🕊️💞 I'm now married to a Filipina. For 13 years with three beautiful 🥰🥰 we own a condom. In Lapu-Lapu Cebu Filipino people or some of the kindness swedish people in the world 🌍. But even here I have encountered racism. Very little but I do get look at different. Because a lot of Filipinos only know what they say about black people from TV and other. And what they hear from white people. 👀👀 I don't want to keep going on I salute you for the program 🍻🍻
I pray one day things will be different 🕊️🕊️🙏
Really don't think you could have that conversation in the UK well done Paul
Great video! When you see yourself as in a tribe. Black/white, Muslim/Christian, Catholic/Protestant, Republican/ Democrat. Then differences get emphasized by the tribal leaders to keep the leaders in power. The problem with tribalism each one wants reprisals for perceived bad deeds. Then tribes get slaughtered. It becomes a circle of hate & violence.
bs religion has no color in Muslims have white, black ,asia , Latino and Arabic . religion way worst then color vs color

I would love to see an interview with this guy from Calvin at sunshine shoulders
Not going to happen. Calvin called Paul a "c*cksucker" in his livestream a few hours ago for posting this video
I would love to see a black man from the U.S. get an interview about racism in America ???
Great points. Balanced presentation. I am an immigrant to the US and have experienced racism and very hurtful behaviour because I happen to be a white woman. I been told minorities cannot be racist. That's a cop out.
Let's just cut to the quick, there is racism in the world and within every race and within the same race. The amount of racism seems moot ie) white or black etc. The world is becoming smaller and many "old ways" are dying - good bad indifferent. The world is becoming mixed and if we survive will be mixed, period. Guess what? Racism will survive. Looking forward to the regularly scheduled programming.
Different races, different colors, different looks, but the one difference that is unique is between black and white. I want not to be in any way prejudice, but I think because of the ways of the land these days and following the news, some may think I am because I respond negatively. Black and white people seem to seek out their own color although there are situations where black and white mingle. I am afraid walking down the street when I see a few young adult men walking towards me and it would not matter what color they were. I think black people will always deep inside have a negative feeling about white people and possibly the reason for that is history. It is understandable that black people would be disturbed by the writings of slavary but there were other ethnic groups that lived that life as well and is never talked about. Will this situation ever change, I hope so, but for now all we can do is be guided by kindness to all.

Paul, this was a very interesting conversation. You have very interesting conversations. I had a black family as neighbors in an affluent neighborhood and his family were awesome people and never heard a racist word. He was married to a white woman and we loved them. I'm sure it's not always that way but for us it was.
If given the choice, who would want to live in a black community? The whites accepted the black man and his white wife. Paul's guest speaker was beaten up trying to re-hap a black community and was victim to racial slurs. Scott Adams was right.
Unfortunately, this guy Paul put on display was saying when any 3 black people get together, they will say something negative about white people.
Spot on. I had a black cashier at Food Lion walk away from the register because I am white. I asked the manager if there is a problem and he told her to wait on me.
Same Food Lion 3 boys walked over license credit cards and cash. I had my daughter with me and we picked all of it up and turned it into the manager at Food Lion he asked me what I was supposed to do with it. I said to lock it up or try to contact the person. She came back and found me in the Food Lion and wanted to purchase something for me and my daughter. I said no thank you because it was a lesson on what to do the right thing and she was offended by teaching my daughter the right thing to do. She was upset and said some racial words. I guess when you live in an area where 90% black it's only to be expected.
