Hate is hate. Doesn't matter the color of your skin. Give everyone a chance to show you who they are and don't let skin color factor into it. It starts in the home, how you're raised and what you're taught. If we teach we're all equal yet different, it would go away in a couple of generations.
how much time this generation spends with their parents? to add to that many have raise without fathers. They get educated by social media, school and their peers. Those who have no critical thinking believe in everything they were told
@@janicev4862 It was gone from like 1990 to 2014, and the left brought racism back in less than a year. By the end of 2015 all leftists worldwide were openly racists to everyone of european descent. As soon the left exists racism will not only exist but it would be the norm.
Only whites believe that while everyone else is openly racist towards them and that is what caused the downfall of whites. What you say is pure Fantasy, every single day is proven that racial tribalism is not only the norm in non-white countries. On that scenario whites need to be tribal for their own race.
People work hard but it’s what people do with their money that matters. I’ve been Black my whole life. One of my grandfathers was born in 1900. He purchased land right next to where our family was enslaved. He bought 2 tractor trailer trucks and ran a business during the week. On the weekends he ran a moonshine still and ran shine in and out of the state. My mother went to college on moonshine money. She was frugal and saved more than she spent. She couldn’t care less what other people bought and had. I have the same attitude. We have done better than some people of our same race and are more comfortable. We don’t have nice flashy things. But we are comfortable. We buy what we need not what we want. And we only replace that it’s that are destroyed. A lot of people won’t live this way. It’s what people do with their money.
Also, so many people think money is finite which is bunk. It's simply a portable means for exchanging our productivity for other's to get what we want or need. People thinking a billionaire "hogs up all the money" is like saying the $1000 in my bank vanished b/c my checkbook ran out of checks. Rest assured, your bank WILL print more checks! We can't eat money, it's just a note way to trade work we did for a meal.
My God thats the most American Hillbilly way Ive ever heard of to pay for something. There is no doubt where you belong (which is America) Edit: I do NOT mean this as an insult, I quite enjoyed your comment
You are so right, our country has turned into wants first, needs last. It needs to be reversed. I think that mentality is what kept people afloat in your grandfathers time, whatever the race.
@@echo-channel77 some people take scrooge mcduck's pool of gold coins too literally. They don't understand how many other people's livelihoods are tied to someone's large "net worth" They treat a person's net worth like it's the money in their savings account.
@@cleanmikeandtheboys3165 What your talking about is money velocity and your correct. Money has a lot more velocity when retained by the wealthy to invest and spend than having the Government tax it away. The funny part is money with a high velocity can generate huge tax incomes with tiny tas rates. Think about $1 you earn on January 1st and spent. and lets say you paid a 10% tax on that dollar when earned. How many times can that $1 change hands in a tax year? If the money has a high velocity it could change hands over 100 times so even at a 10% flat tax rate that dollar earned $10.00 in tax revenue. That may seem to be an impossible strain on money supply but it is not because the Government also spends that money and provides services that are a value add to you like building roads and infrastructure, providing police, fire, and national defense, etc. Even if the money supply was never changing the money always changing hands still support economic growth.
Minority privilege exists. We have people changing genders to have minority privilege in the US right now all the while helping them and paying for that change at the expense of the working class. The transgender movement is primarily due to the fact that people feel they are treated poorly as their current gender. That is true because men are treated worse than women while we tell women that men have every privilege over them in society.
Privilege has NOTHING to do with race in America. There are privileged people of all colors and it has to do with household income. That said there are is a majority of white people in this country and thus there are far more whites currently below the poverty level and with DEI that number will only increase for particularly white males. DEI and equity are utterly racist at their core and TRUE equality will NEVER exist until this once great country figures out and eliminates the impossible equity policies and racist, misogynistic hiring practices. No one is talking about the negative impact this is having on white males and what a disaster this once great country is creating.
Lmfao you contradicted yourself there dumbski. You say privilege has NOTHING to do with race in America then immediately admit DEI is racism which has been a practice in America now for decades.
Twenty percent of “white people” are anti-White leftists. Many more live in a majority White areas and little to no contact with non-Whites, so they don’t really understand what race relations are like in diverse areas and institutions.
if you are employed, paid well, and playing along, it might not feel like it’s true. But most of us know better. Most of us realize the problems this is causing. Most of us know what is coming, and many have tried to warn people, only to be ignored, dismissed, labeled with slurs. The culture war is about to explode, and one side is substantially better prepared than the rest. They don’t even let people let off steam anymore by venting verbally or online; there is censorship, cancellation. Not allowing a boiling pot to let off steam…this won’t end well.
Pretty much the majority. I would assume every white person knows we experience discrimination. Problem is we've been told that we're not allowed to say that we experience it because that's racist. Racism works. Remember the black people who didn't want slavery to end.
This professor isn't trying to teach them WHAT to think, he's teaching them to think for themselves and to stop allowing others to think for them. He goes into uncomfortable topics and shows different POVs.
White woman here. I was told I could not get fuel at the gas station. When I pulled up the pump was on, after I got out to pump the fuel the pump said "See Attendant". I went into the gas station and told the clerk and he said "No fuel for you" with an accent. I asked "Can I move to another pump?" He said "No". There were many other people at the gas station getting fuel. Confused I ask "No fuel for everyone or no fuel for me"? He said "No fuel for YOU!". So I left and now I don't go to that gas station anymore.
While I don't always agree with this professor, he's doing good work by making these young people actually think for themselves and trying to keep them from being lemmings.
When I went to college in 1967, There was a gal in my nursing class who was Mexican descent( both of her parents were from Mexico but were both school teachers) and she lived at home and her parents paid for her college. No cost to her. She still applied and was given money to pay for her college totally. She took that money ( from Federal money, tax payers) and bou. ght and paid for a mustang( most popular car at the time). I had to move 150 miles to go to that college, had to pay for everything, I had 6 siblings at home and my parents could NOT afford to help me. I worked and borrowed money to pay for my schooling. I did not qualify for aid because I am wh. ite. That IS RACISM!!!! I am so sick of this SH. IT!!!! I have always had to work, same as my immigrant grandparents. Nothing FREE for them because they were NOT bro. wn or bl. ack!!!!
What Federal tax payer funded grant was awarded her just cuz she has Mexican parents to be able to buy mustang? I will identify as Mexicana to claim it. But I suspect you're lying.
@@SaltyGenXer-n9s if you can't name the federal college grant only given to Mexican ancestry ppl, you're just brainwashed and making sht up about things that don't exist.
@@yootoobvyooer A grant. Do you not know what a grant is? She applied for a grant that was given to her because of her race, regardless of her parents being able to afford it.
I really enjoy these videos of this professor. He is doing something thwt NO ONE is doing ! We need more ppl putting common sense into these university students
Actually there was another professor doing very similar work with critical thinking but he was fired from his job. I can't remember his name right now.
What did he say in this video? I feel like it was all big words but the way he says it? It’s really hard to get his point he’s trying to make. Like… he just says half of the point, makes an example and jumps to the next point mid example.. what??
@@danusorn8655 hes gotta make them understand from a normal view point. I get what he's trying to do there and I hope it works for those kids that don't know anything
How many times do the students need to have those moments where they realize the facts don't match what they are told by media before they carry over that suspicion to their next hard held belief? Its like starting from zero every single time.
Its funny in my achool we were taught to seek multiple angles of every problem to find multiple sources. To not take things on face value, critical thinking was taught. This no longer rings true
There is a HUGE reason why Blacks have a Median Family Wealth of only $17,600 in that graph. 70% of black families have only one parent (usually the mother)! Whenever you have a 1-parent household, that household will be very poor financially as the parent has to do everything including staying home with the kids, so her income won't be as much as other mothers who can go into an office everyday and earn a salary. Most of those women are on food stamps and don't get much income from the government. If the father was in the household, he would probably be making money while the mother is taking care of the kids and the house. Yes, sometimes the father is a deadbeat father and doesn't have a job, but at least there is the possibility for him to make money. But if he isn't living in the same house, then any income that he makes doesn't go towards this statistic in that graph. I really hate it when this professor doesn't explain why these graphs and statistics look skewed towards white people. He needs to explain it to teach these kids. Sometimes he does explain things in his videos, but other times he doesn't.
Probably the biggest reason is the biggest part of wealth is a person's home. Would you want a house in a 'black area'? That's going to be a cheaper house price and therefore less wealth.
@bobl703 Yes, but if you did, it would cost a fraction of the price of the equivalent in a white area. Generally, you are not only describing single motherhood but single motherhood on welfare.
When he points out that Asian Families are higher because they are larger and pooling more resources, the opposite is also true... the Black Families are way lower, but the Black Families are also divided more than any other demographic. The number of black Single Mothers and estranged Black Fathers means the actual income potential of the black community, the Median Household Income, is effectively halved from the start. This is why thinkers like Thomas Sowell are so passionate about trying to restore Black Families, as the foundation of rebuilding the Black Community. Welfare makes the problem worse, it makes people lazy, entitled, and unwilling to cooperate towards a better future.
Welfare also discourages families from even having a standard nuclear setup to begin with. If you are getting subsidized by the government and making hundreds to thousands of extra dollars per month/year, you aren't likely to want to give that up to make the same amount of money but work more for it. Example, when I moved to another state I only had a limited amount of savings and it was months before I could find full time work. So I applied for SNAP in my state and was given $290 a month for groceries for myself. As long as I continue to work but make less than $1300 a month on my total net paychecks, I could continue to get that almost $300 a month in groceries. With food as expensive as it is, if I didn't have that when I moved I wouldn't have been able to get groceries in the amount that I did even working full time, because after rent and other bills I was only left with a little over $100 a month for anything else. So why would someone want to put in the hours and time to get a full time job that pays more than $1300 a month when they would then have to work that many more hours or try to get a raise to make the extra $300? And that's just to start.
74% wealth transfer and what political party pushed lockdowns for 2 years? Policies that shut down small business and threatened loss of licenses and or jail??
The same party thats always talking about "democracy being under threat" only to recently shelve their frontrunner and hand the nomination AND his donation money to someone nobody voted for nor donated to (the latter being very illegal).
And what party implemented the tax plan in 1983 that started this. Open your eyes and see that both parties are responsible for this and thereby we the public are responsible for it.
They always using the term ‘college educated’ as if these people are more educated when the truth is that these people in large part are the dumbest people around
Im really encouraged seeing this type of classroom, excellent students and teacher, back and forth without rancor and rigid thinking. This is what great looks like in a University.
I was told the same thing in a pub in London. I went in and up to the bar. The barman (who was b.l.a c k) wouldn't even acknowledge I was there even though the place was not busy. Then a big b.l.a.c.k guy came over and said 'I think you are in the wrong place'. It was at that point that I noticed everyone in the pub was b.l.a.c.k. and giving me aggressive looks. So I just walked out.
Pretty sure me and a couple of mates (white) walked into a pub we didn’t know in Huddersfield in the 90’s and were basically saved from getting the crap kicked out of us just for being in the wrong skin colour by the owner/manager (a small Afro carabean lady) for whom I am very thankful for!
Its the communist way, and, brought to you by the " friendly and benevolent " (NOT !!!) movers and shakers of the New World Order, aka the " Great Reset ".
Probably a big part of the difference in median income comes from where different racial groups have chosen to live. 79% of Black Americans live in urban or suburban areas, where home ownership rates are 39.8%. Which means that the average city dweller is renting rather than building equity. In rural areas, which are overwhelmingly white, home ownership rates are 81.1%. Which means that the average country-dweller is building equity. But that does not mean that they are building up cash reserves that they can use whenever they want. It is only when they finally sell that they will see that money. Only, homes in rural areas tend to sell for much, much less than they do in cities, which is why it is possible for rural dwellers to buy them with relative ease.
I think even if nobody understands the points he's trying to make (He loses me quite often with his indirect wandering around the subject he's trying to explain), it's important for these students to experience that talking about these things isn't inherently offensive, and that there's much to think about.
The problem I have with this professor is that he doesn't have the courage to talk about CULTURE and how culture impacts success. Asians don't male more than whites because they are pooling resources, they earn more because they go to college at higher rates, go to graduate schools at higher rates, and they get higher paying jobs. This all starts in the home. Asian kids are MORE likely to study an instrument than play sports. They are more likely to have their homework checked because they have the lowest single motherhood rate. They have a culture that pushes academic success. And let's discuss how culture in the African American community has deteriorated over the decades. The Great Society Act incentivized single motherhood, expanded welfare & it took dad's out of the home. This was done BY DESIGN to make black women dependent on government. It also led to the mass incarceration of blacks 30 years later when Biden authored the 1994 crime bill. The ancillary effect of the Great Society act is a generation of black boys grew up without a dad in the home. Prior to 1965, 75% of black kids grew up with both parents in the home. But by the early 90's, the number flipped, and only 25% of black kids had 2 parent homes. So young black men didn't have the father mentor. Kids in single mother households are 6 times more likely to drop out of high school, 7 times more likely to end up in jail, and will tend to experiment with sex, drugs, & alcohol at a younger age than kids who have 2 parents because there is more supervision in a 2 parent home.
@@nancyjanzen5676The main cultural impact on groups outcomes is work ethics - Asians work the hardest while studying at school, at university, it then continues into building their careers and families. When they start their families they invest insane hours, not just money, into education of their kids - proper academic education with the aim of achieving results not just having fun. Result oriented cultures achieve way more than process (having fun in life) oriented cultures.
I dare to suggest that blatts did better in the 40s and 50s becuase of Jim Crow laws. They tried to fit in and act likethe whoite man then. They were better off when they remained under whoite leadership.
I like this professor - i'd take his courses just for thinking challenges. ps - i'm white and i'm a tail end boomer, and yeah i come from great wealth - have to remind myself that growing up living in a trailer park makes me that way, wealthy and privileged.... people these days have no clue that my generation / race were ever poor or had to work for a dollar at all...
Whether a white person is well off should be irrelevant. If you interview for a job, your net worth shouldn't be part of the hiring decision. The hiring decision should just be based on how well you could do the job. Maybe if you are auditioning for Othello the black guy should get points for just being black, but few jobs are like that.
i wish he wouldve added who got a sponsoship or financial aid and how much compared to whites. that would immediately offset everything to show minorities always get help and whites get left behind
There is some truth to that. However, to truly compare apples to apples, one would need to look at how many of those who are receiving aid for reasons that have nothing to do with race. For example, it would be apples to oranges to bananas compare an unmarried student without kids to an unmarried student with a child to a married student with or without a child. An unmarried student with a child is going to receive more aid than an unmarried student without a child regardless of race.
@@lisapippin1695 I worked for the department of education for a while and there is financial aid just for somebody's ethnicity. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans have aod availible to them right away. I have helped fill out so many FAFSA application that I saw how it all works. No extra financial aid for Whites and Arabs I have noticed.
@@MiloConningia It does not work to compare the aid given to an unmarried white student with no children to an unmarried black student with a child as that is no longer comparing apples to apples. The increase in aid for the student with the child cannot be attributed solely to race at that point. Therefore, to be accurate, one must control the other variables that impact the amount of aid given to students.
"People have an equal chance to get ahead if they work hard." True. But "work hard" is NOT the same for each person, and therein lies the problem. Everyone wants the same amount of work to result in the same amount of gain. That sounds great in theory, but that means if I train for as many hours as a linebacker in the NFL, I get to be a linebacker in the NFL too with a million dollar contract. We know that isn't how things work. What you're born with matters, and it's not fair. Life isn't fair. Brains aren't dolled out fairly. So to be a nuclear engineer or an MD, one person might be able to study X hours per week while another person needs to study 10 times that amount to achieve the same result. Now throw in the cultural differences, some of which lead to poorer results in a capitalist meritocracy like the one in which we live. Things like good study habits, safe bedroom practices, showing up on time, dressing how those in charge want you to dress whether you like it or not. These add up to make a massive difference. The path is there if you're willing to take it, and others may have an easier time than you. You can either resent that fact forever, continually complain and get nowhere, or you can suck it, work as hard as you personally need to work to achieve your goals, and you'll make it.
So the system is unfair so work your ass off and you may climb the ladder? There's only so much room up at the top and those places fill up pretty quickly. The rich get first pick. It's no wonder people get resentful.
@@kathrynanneperry4651 Yes, you won't make it to the top without major sacrifices and probably stepping on some throats. I won't make it to the top because I won't do this things. I also can't be a linebacker in the NFL or a male model. Should I sit around and stew about that? Or do I work my ass off at something I can do, something I can be good at. We can't all be CEOs and lawyers and doctors and NFL linebackers and models. If I find something I can do, and I work hard at it, I'll likely at least work my way into a bit of comfort and satisfaction. Will I be CEO? Of course not. But being realistic is a much better frame of mind IMHO.
@@gritnix I think too many people focus on the wrong kinds of jobs. Yes, people might want to imagine and dream about a socially acceptable and "high paying" job like a doctor, lawyer, actor, etc, but so what? Those jobs may have a lot of glamor to them, but there are plenty of other jobs available that make just as much if not more and are FAR easier for other people to get that aren't born with some kind of talent or good looks or born into a rich family. Take pretty much any trade skill job. Welding, carpentry, air conditioning repair, truck driving, etc. Sure, these jobs aren't flashy and most people have the mentality that these are "drudge" jobs, but in reality a lot of these jobs pay REALLY well, into the high 60-80k mark on the low end and some of them go 6 figures. So what if you are a from a low income family, single parent household in a bad town? You can go to a 6 month cert course and learn to drive a truck. Does it get as much social credit as a nurse or CEO? No, but it does make money and is it easier to get the job than competing with dozens or hundreds of other qualified applicants? Absolutely. If anything a lot of those companies are absolutely begging for more applicants and offering benefits because they are so low with people interested in those types of jobs.
I grew up poor and got a job as a janitor and was happy to get it. Then I tried to get better jobs by increasing my skill sets. I would apply to companies and would not get jobs I was qualified for because they needed minorities in those slots. They just hired minorities because they wanted the government off their backs. I started my own business and had to save for years to get money to run it because I couldn’t get loans to help me. I was kept down and they kept kicking me. I lost everything and was told screw off from banks that could have saved me while they gave emigrants loans and grants. It’s disgusting and now I’m bitter from life’s experience. Now I’m told I’m a racist just because of my skin color and I know that’s not true because I don’t have time to hate other people who are as poor as me. Now I don’t care about America and making money. I care only about myself and no one else because no one cares about me.
We as people are governed by the law of opposites. ie: up/down, in/out, fire/ice, on/off, wet/dry and so on and so on....for everything there is an opposite to it. You will never hear people talk about this.....but understanding that EVERYTHING has an opposite, ask yourself this.... Have you personally ever known anyone that just cant seem to lose? someone that doesnt have to try to be successful it just seems to come to them? If you said yes, then you must understand that there are people out there and a LOT of them, that no matter what they do they are always going to suffer and will never be successful no matter how much they work and how hard they work. These are the people that when they get a little extra money something always happens that rips it right out of their hands. Its basic understanding of the rule of opposites but nobody ever talks about it, and the reason why is the people that are overly lucky feel guilt. And because they feel guilt they are blind to the plight of their counterparts.
The kids of today see the instant gratification of technology and MAY think it should work in their professional life. In reality, for most people, wealth is accumulated incrementally. Instant satisfaction is NOT a reasonable ideal.
I would also say that based on population alone, if there is a job application or available opportunity and there is 10 white people and 3 "coloured" (Other ethnicity etc) going for the 1 spot, what are the probabilities a white person will get the position/opportunity over the "others" if their qualifications are similar? (not going deeper into it) It could be the reverse as well but people do not realize this. When it is not about meritocracy or equality of opportunity and transformed into equality of outcome and forcing a larger percentage to be "coloured" regardless of qualification and ability, you start to get a snowball effect that end up being a race to the bottom and everyone suffers. It is at the pint that we do not even know if people who could be the most qualified are just "diversity hires" or not (DEI). That is in itself racist and dare I say illegal.
Happens all the time. Literally just had a discussion with my store manager about this since the district manager wanted to make diversity hires just to fill the numbers whereas my manager was looking for qualifications over diversity. Many companies have gone away from actually evaluating people based on skill and leaned more into social visibility instead (wanting to look like they are "politically correct" vs hiring competent staff).
This presumes inequity is a problem. It isn't. It does not matter that someone has more than you. What does matter is poverty. It matters people have enough. These are NOT the same thing AT ALL.
One thing that graph doesn't take into account is where each demographic is concentrated the most. If you're poor in the innercity you tend to be land locked into impoverished areas with a massive lack of opportunity to move up in life. Culture also has a factor. Leftist controlled cities love keeping people poor so they can prommise people free stuff that is never free
8:00 People don’t understand the graph. The reason it was so high post WWII is because of fast growing economy. However in normal times you would expect about half of the kids to earn more than their parents, nothing wrong with that.
The problem with "median family income" is the same problem with the so called "pay wage gap". Lumping billionaire families in with the mlions upon millions of dirt poor families skews the average up in a way that is highly misleading.
Yep, government made this mistake when they added extra money to unemployment benefits during the pandemic. They somehow thought that the average family needed the extra $600 a week on top of the normal benefits, but instead they were vastly overpaying compared to what the REAL average family makes in the US. I was put on furlough for 4 months from my job and was making almost 4k a month on unemployment when typically I would only make around $2100 a month if I was lucky depending on how many hours I worked and how many training classes I sold (I made commission). And that's on the higher end for the average monthly for a single person, since the place I am living now I only make $1300 a month. Was really nice to be able to finally pay off my car, but it also made a lot of people not want to go back to work because they were making more on unemployment than busting their a**es 40+ hours a week.
Actually, that's why they use MEDIAN rather than MEAN averages. The "contribution" from a billionaire or millionaire is just ONE rather than billions or millions. The MEAN average of the set 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 is 5 (i.e., 45/9) and so is the MEDIAN average (which is just the number in the middle of the set). But the MEAN of the set 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9999999 is 1111115 while the MEDIAN is still 5. Using MEDIAN instead of MEAN averages dilutes the effect of outliers on either extreme, which intentionally addresses your concern.
In the 1970s a teacher did a test on her third grade class of elementary school children where one day children with brown eyes had special privileges and the next day children with blue eyes had special privileges. Everyone got to feel what it was like to be discriminated against and it did change their lives even though they were only in the third grade. The same kids were interviewed 20 years after the experiment and had still been influenced by the one day that they were discriminated against. Of course that kind of test would be completely illegal now, God forbid elementary school children actually learn anything.
I agree, but look at the education the kids in this class are actually getting. At least these kids have this class instead of continuing on with pure nonsense.
1. Some people at the top can go the opposite direction too while others at the bottom go up. (social mobility) 2. No matter which step you're on, it's completely INDEPENDENT of where others are at. No zero-sum game. 3. The entire WORLD has risen up since America became a superpower. Like MASSIVELY so. 4. EVERYONE could have a $ billion b/c money is NOT finite!!! It's just a portable means to trade of our productivity.
Household income. Interesting perspective when you add in that there are 70-75% single black mothers. So those households have one income. Even if that single mother has a decent paying job. Earning $65K that will still be lower than other households with 2 parents etc. There are so many nuances and ways how these averages/medians come about that are missing.
Also - It's not really race-based at all. It's being born into a certain level of afluency, adherence to certain cultural ideas (positive or negative), and individual ability, drive, and IQ.
There are a bunch of groups that outperform white people in America including Nigerians, Jews and pretty much every Asian peoples. It bothers me when this professor accepts false information as a starting point. Also disparity doesn't necessarily equate to discrimination when there are multiple variables not accounted for. Discrimination comes from disdain or superiority and it is common for every single race to openly discriminate against whites. Academia does it, Hollywood does it, corporate news media does it, big tech does it with censorship, the Soros DA's and judges do it and the majority of our politicians do it. Literally all of the mainstream that creates the grand narrative goes in one direction. Combine all the narrative forces with all the Affirmative action and the DEI initiatives like "restorative justice" combined with all the indoctrination from Academia and it all goes in one direction; anti white, anti male, anti heterosexual, anti Christian, anti stoicism, anti nuclear family, anti middle class and anti West. This is because the American Constitution is only thing standing in the way of a global new world order and perpetual serfdom and endless conflict to serve the elites.
@@thomgri About half the time I write something like this it gets removed even though I don't say anything hateful toward any identity group. If I were an important person, there would be much stronger reprocussions.
just as an idea for the last few lines you said about children in single parent households vs two parent households. in the western world, polyamory gains tracktion. suddenly, a child can have 3, 4 or 5 parents at home. it also allows for 3 parents working and still allow one to stay at home. in theory, polyamory isn't even required, just 2-3 couples who decide to form a household together, maybe siblings? suddenly, that is a really stable setup for raising children.
Not Privileged!!! ADVANTAGED!!! Advantages of: 2 parents, better looking/grooming, better social skills, focus on academics, the ethic of hard work, higher intelligence or athletic skills, etc. Values instilled to ensure good footing and, hopefully, better futures for the next progeny over built over generations. Comparing wealth serves purpose, however, how much is envy and the presumption of ill gotten gains?
It's true for some people that if you work really hard and that that you can accomplish things and go places but it's also true that some people no matter how hard they work due to some circumstances like maybe an injury or something else that is of a societal nature we live in a society are you wrongly convicted of something someone lies about you many different things can happen to where you don't succeed in it is not the person's fault for not trying so let's get that out of your head if you just work hard you can accomplish anything that's bullshit
I wonder if this professor knew that Asian Americans are the most successful in the country. That would have been the proper response to the point he was trying to make.
"privilege is growing up with a mother AND a father" this feels like a racial joke about why crime went down after abortion was made legal in the 60s 🤣
the disparity in crime can be almost entirely explain by have or not having a father in the home. When you correct for that variable the differences in crime rates between races goes away. Black crime with fathers at home is about the same as white people with fathers at home..fuck all. If you want to end crime and a long list of other issues you need to get fathers back in the home and stop the government paying women to kick them out.
This has nothing to do with racism. This is 100% about corps. Things switched in the US when both parents went to work. Corps get double the production and half the pay. You can literally see this in the chart.
@@rosebronikowski2022 Yep, and that's why the Black families' households have very low median income. I just wish the professor actually explained that. One adult/parent in the house will generally make a lot less money than two adults/parents in a household.
"not that indians works at 7-eleven" ... I work at 7-eleven, the entire team is indian, the boss is indian, the boss's boss is an indian woman, and the boss's boss's boss is an indian woman... and every other 7-eleven in the area is ALSO staffed by indians, I am the sole white dude 🤣 I know he was joking, but that felt too real :D :D
I received a scholarship but was withdrawn because they had no black recipients they gave it to someone with a lower gpa, two semesters later he was expelled and charged with sexual assault, he always rubbed it in my face that he got it and I didn't and gave my girlfriend who was Ethiopian a hard time for being with a white guy.
It is on all sides. Every ethnic nationality is has racism is it. Most races I’ve ever seen or experienced was black to white or black to Asian or black to Mexican but everyone is geological location is different and in society I feel white experience more racism than anybody. I mean, we don’t teach our kids like some communities to hate the white man to hate the police, live off food stamp live off government housing defund police we don’t teach our children that we’re teaching a treat one fair equal love everybody don’t be hated. Don’t be racism. Don’t be all these things but yet other communities don’t teach their children that and that’s the problem. Everybody wants respect, but nobody wants to give respect, they will always be bump heads.
I wouldn’t say I feel any more discrimination than blacks do. I do believe that it depends on the situation and circumstances involved. In some scenarios it is more beneficial to be black, in others white. The starkest contrast to me is how it is now completely, 100% socially acceptable to shit on and denigrate white people. This is the most noticeable difference to me
And there will always be people along those steps that need help. But for the most part, everybody can climb those steps. I can tell you that most white people do not have generational wealth. Their parents are just working day-to-day like everybody else. But I won’t deny that it’s built in us to want to leave something for our kids even at our own deprivation.
I keep hearing it and it shows how racist the terms are, but what's a " Black person " and a " Brown person " when all humans have different shades of brown and no Black and White skin tones exist amongst humans at all.
I would like to see these racial comparisons looking only at working and middle-class families. Essentially take the billionaires out of the equation. I think you would see much more equality. Those at the top don't want you thinking about that. They don't want those at the lower levels to realize that there is class warfare going on else they might start fighting back. Instead, they get all the races and those with different ideologies fighting against each other so they can go on adding to their already substantial wealth.
Isn't per capita income a better indicator of how well the races are doing? Some races may save more than others or are more concerned about passing on wealth to their children. Household wealth hides these differences that are not because of privileges. Who are the highest earners in America? Look it up, you may be surprised. Some of the groups that do better than whites in America are Asian Indians, Pakistanis, Nigerians and Chinese (both Taiwanese and Mainland), Lebanese and Argentines, just to name e few.
But the median income is a bad way to compile stats. It blend the poorest in the countries with richest and the middle incomes together. Which will skew the statistics.
The analogy is flawed. What he’s not taking into account is that the reason Kyle and the other guy are so high up the steps is probably because their parents and grandparents also valued hard work which gave them a leg up. So if generationally speaking the black and brown persons family does the same it will move them up equivalently in time. You can’t just expect to work hard and be a billionaire in a couple years. That’s not realistic. No amount of equity is going to fix that. The guys are just higher up the steps because of their skin color.
Would you please think about the phrase "If you look at the world"? Wonder what percentage of the world's population has never interacted with a white person? How many in populations who, where they were "exploited" (India), answered to a prince and it was the prince who became wealthy? What did the English trade for their accumulation of wealth? Wasn't it the lives of their citizens to be used for the benefit of some foreign leader making themselves wealthy and popular in exchange for exclusive access?
Is crazy you cant have these discussions in certain schools. We should have em be used as mandatory videos.. i mean wow how are people tryna delearn they kids
Hate is hate. Doesn't matter the color of your skin. Give everyone a chance to show you who they are and don't let skin color factor into it. It starts in the home, how you're raised and what you're taught. If we teach we're all equal yet different, it would go away in a couple of generations.
I think it'd be gone sooner than a generation.
@@janicev4862 You're probably right . I would love nothing more
how much time this generation spends with their parents? to add to that many have raise without fathers. They get educated by social media, school and their peers. Those who have no critical thinking believe in everything they were told
@@janicev4862 It was gone from like 1990 to 2014, and the left brought racism back in less than a year. By the end of 2015 all leftists worldwide were openly racists to everyone of european descent. As soon the left exists racism will not only exist but it would be the norm.
Only whites believe that while everyone else is openly racist towards them and that is what caused the downfall of whites. What you say is pure Fantasy, every single day is proven that racial tribalism is not only the norm in non-white countries. On that scenario whites need to be tribal for their own race.
People work hard but it’s what people do with their money that matters. I’ve been Black my whole life. One of my grandfathers was born in 1900. He purchased land right next to where our family was enslaved. He bought 2 tractor trailer trucks and ran a business during the week. On the weekends he ran a moonshine still and ran shine in and out of the state. My mother went to college on moonshine money. She was frugal and saved more than she spent. She couldn’t care less what other people bought and had. I have the same attitude. We have done better than some people of our same race and are more comfortable. We don’t have nice flashy things. But we are comfortable. We buy what we need not what we want. And we only replace that it’s that are destroyed. A lot of people won’t live this way. It’s what people do with their money.
Also, so many people think money is finite which is bunk. It's simply a portable means for exchanging our productivity for other's to get what we want or need. People thinking a billionaire "hogs up all the money" is like saying the $1000 in my bank vanished b/c my checkbook ran out of checks. Rest assured, your bank WILL print more checks! We can't eat money, it's just a note way to trade work we did for a meal.

@@cleanmikeandtheboys3165 What your talking about is money velocity and your correct. Money has a lot more velocity when retained by the wealthy to invest and spend than having the Government tax it away. The funny part is money with a high velocity can generate huge tax incomes with tiny tas rates. Think about $1 you earn on January 1st and spent. and lets say you paid a 10% tax on that dollar when earned. How many times can that $1 change hands in a tax year? If the money has a high velocity it could change hands over 100 times so even at a 10% flat tax rate that dollar earned $10.00 in tax revenue. That may seem to be an impossible strain on money supply but it is not because the Government also spends that money and provides services that are a value add to you like building roads and infrastructure, providing police, fire, and national defense, etc. Even if the money supply was never changing the money always changing hands still support economic growth.
Black privilege does exist.
Minority privilege exists. We have people changing genders to have minority privilege in the US right now all the while helping them and paying for that change at the expense of the working class. The transgender movement is primarily due to the fact that people feel they are treated poorly as their current gender. That is true because men are treated worse than women while we tell women that men have every privilege over them in society.
@@matthewrose8002 that's why you shouldn't vote Democrat nor elect Democrats, because you get a Clusterfuck not Equality.
Privilege has NOTHING to do with race in America. There are privileged people of all colors and it has to do with household income. That said there are is a majority of white people in this country and thus there are far more whites currently below the poverty level and with DEI that number will only increase for particularly white males. DEI and equity are utterly racist at their core and TRUE equality will NEVER exist until this once great country figures out and eliminates the impossible equity policies and racist, misogynistic hiring practices. No one is talking about the negative impact this is having on white males and what a disaster this once great country is creating.

I couldn’t agree more.
It’s because people are living in their own bubbles (or dismissing what they know is true because they have whíte guilt).
Twenty percent of “white people” are anti-White leftists. Many more live in a majority White areas and little to no contact with non-Whites, so they don’t really understand what race relations are like in diverse areas and institutions.
if you are employed, paid well, and playing along, it might not feel like it’s true. But most of us know better. Most of us realize the problems this is causing. Most of us know what is coming, and many have tried to warn people, only to be ignored, dismissed, labeled with slurs. The culture war is about to explode, and one side is substantially better prepared than the rest. They don’t even let people let off steam anymore by venting verbally or online; there is censorship, cancellation. Not allowing a boiling pot to let off steam…this won’t end well.
Pretty much the majority. I would assume every white person knows we experience discrimination. Problem is we've been told that we're not allowed to say that we experience it because that's racist. Racism works. Remember the black people who didn't want slavery to end.

White woman here. I was told I could not get fuel at the gas station. When I pulled up the pump was on, after I got out to pump the fuel the pump said "See Attendant". I went into the gas station and told the clerk and he said "No fuel for you" with an accent. I asked "Can I move to another pump?" He said "No". There were many other people at the gas station getting fuel. Confused I ask "No fuel for everyone or no fuel for me"? He said "No fuel for YOU!".

There is a HUGE reason why Blacks have a Median Family Wealth of only $17,600 in that graph. 70% of black families have only one parent (usually the mother)! Whenever you have a 1-parent household, that household will be very poor financially as the parent has to do everything including staying home with the kids, so her income won't be as much as other mothers who can go into an office everyday and earn a salary. Most of those women are on food stamps and don't get much income from the government. If the father was in the household, he would probably be making money while the mother is taking care of the kids and the house. Yes, sometimes the father is a deadbeat father and doesn't have a job, but at least there is the possibility for him to make money. But if he isn't living in the same house, then any income that he makes doesn't go towards this statistic in that graph. I really hate it when this professor doesn't explain why these graphs and statistics look skewed towards white people. He needs to explain it to teach these kids. Sometimes he does explain things in his videos, but other times he doesn't.
Good point.
Probably the biggest reason is the biggest part of wealth is a person's home. Would you want a house in a 'black area'? That's going to be a cheaper house price and therefore less wealth.
@@mikefish8226 But if you have a single parent with a single income, chances are you won’t have enough money for a house.
@@bobl703culture, education, choices.
@bobl703 Yes, but if you did, it would cost a fraction of the price of the equivalent in a white area. Generally, you are not only describing single motherhood but single motherhood on welfare.
When he points out that Asian Families are higher because they are larger and pooling more resources, the opposite is also true... the Black Families are way lower, but the Black Families are also divided more than any other demographic. The number of black Single Mothers and estranged Black Fathers means the actual income potential of the black community, the Median Household Income, is effectively halved from the start. This is why thinkers like Thomas Sowell are so passionate about trying to restore Black Families, as the foundation of rebuilding the Black Community. Welfare makes the problem worse, it makes people lazy, entitled, and unwilling to cooperate towards a better future.
Welfare also discourages families from even having a standard nuclear setup to begin with. If you are getting subsidized by the government and making hundreds to thousands of extra dollars per month/year, you aren't likely to want to give that up to make the same amount of money but work more for it.
Example, when I moved to another state I only had a limited amount of savings and it was months before I could find full time work. So I applied for SNAP in my state and was given $290 a month for groceries for myself. As long as I continue to work but make less than $1300 a month on my total net paychecks, I could continue to get that almost $300 a month in groceries.
With food as expensive as it is, if I didn't have that when I moved I wouldn't have been able to get groceries in the amount that I did even working full time, because after rent and other bills I was only left with a little over $100 a month for anything else.
So why would someone want to put in the hours and time to get a full time job that pays more than $1300 a month when they would then have to work that many more hours or try to get a raise to make the extra $300?
And that's just to start.
It also fails to address intelligence levels. As if every brain has evolved the same. Some people groups are simply less intelligent than others.
But if you can't blame other people for your failings that just has to be because of discrimination. No personal responsibility.

I was in Tottenham road . London 10 yrs ago I decided to go for a drink i was politely told by doir man i wasn't welcome due to being white
I was told the same thing in a pub in London. I went in and up to the bar. The barman (who was b.l.a c k) wouldn't even acknowledge I was there even though the place was not busy. Then a big b.l.a.c.k guy came over and said 'I think you are in the wrong place'. It was at that point that I noticed everyone in the pub was b.l.a.c.k. and giving me aggressive looks. So I just walked out.
Pretty sure me and a couple of mates (white) walked into a pub we didn’t know in Huddersfield in the 90’s and were basically saved from getting the crap kicked out of us just for being in the wrong skin colour by the owner/manager (a small Afro carabean lady) for whom I am very thankful for!

Probably a big part of the difference in median income comes from where different racial groups have chosen to live. 79% of Black Americans live in urban or suburban areas, where home ownership rates are 39.8%. Which means that the average city dweller is renting rather than building equity. In rural areas, which are overwhelmingly white, home ownership rates are 81.1%. Which means that the average country-dweller is building equity. But that does not mean that they are building up cash reserves that they can use whenever they want. It is only when they finally sell that they will see that money. Only, homes in rural areas tend to sell for much, much less than they do in cities, which is why it is possible for rural dwellers to buy them with relative ease.
Even though whypipo are the global minority.
I think even if nobody understands the points he's trying to make (He loses me quite often with his indirect wandering around the subject he's trying to explain), it's important for these students to experience that talking about these things isn't inherently offensive, and that there's much to think about.
The problem I have with this professor is that he doesn't have the courage to talk about CULTURE and how culture impacts success. Asians don't male more than whites because they are pooling resources, they earn more because they go to college at higher rates, go to graduate schools at higher rates, and they get higher paying jobs. This all starts in the home. Asian kids are MORE likely to study an instrument than play sports. They are more likely to have their homework checked because they have the lowest single motherhood rate. They have a culture that pushes academic success. And let's discuss how culture in the African American community has deteriorated over the decades. The Great Society Act incentivized single motherhood, expanded welfare & it took dad's out of the home. This was done BY DESIGN to make black women dependent on government. It also led to the mass incarceration of blacks 30 years later when Biden authored the 1994 crime bill. The ancillary effect of the Great Society act is a generation of black boys grew up without a dad in the home. Prior to 1965, 75% of black kids grew up with both parents in the home. But by the early 90's, the number flipped, and only 25% of black kids had 2 parent homes. So young black men didn't have the father mentor. Kids in single mother households are 6 times more likely to drop out of high school, 7 times more likely to end up in jail, and will tend to experiment with sex, drugs, & alcohol at a younger age than kids who have 2 parents because there is more supervision in a 2 parent home.
He did talk about culture. He mentioned that Asian families were multi generational, with more incomes coming in. That is a cultural impact.
@@nancyjanzen5676The main cultural impact on groups outcomes is work ethics - Asians work the hardest while studying at school, at university, it then continues into building their careers and families. When they start their families they invest insane hours, not just money, into education of their kids - proper academic education with the aim of achieving results not just having fun. Result oriented cultures achieve way more than process (having fun in life) oriented cultures.

I like this professor - i'd take his courses just for thinking challenges. ps - i'm white and i'm a tail end boomer, and yeah i come from great wealth - have to remind myself that growing up living in a trailer park makes me that way, wealthy and privileged.... people these days have no clue that my generation / race were ever poor or had to work for a dollar at all...
The Steps illustration was very well articulated by the great mind of Thomas Sowell - "Whites not standing still"
Everyone does NOT have equal opportunity....tell that to someone born disabled.
Whether a white person is well off should be irrelevant. If you interview for a job, your net worth shouldn't be part of the hiring decision. The hiring decision should just be based on how well you could do the job. Maybe if you are auditioning for Othello the black guy should get points for just being black, but few jobs are like that.
Here we go again. This is a great business.
i wish he wouldve added who got a sponsoship or financial aid and how much compared to whites. that would immediately offset everything to show minorities always get help and whites get left behind
There is some truth to that. However, to truly compare apples to apples, one would need to look at how many of those who are receiving aid for reasons that have nothing to do with race. For example, it would be apples to oranges to bananas compare an unmarried student without kids to an unmarried student with a child to a married student with or without a child. An unmarried student with a child is going to receive more aid than an unmarried student without a child regardless of race.
@@lisapippin1695 I worked for the department of education for a while and there is financial aid just for somebody's ethnicity. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans have aod availible to them right away. I have helped fill out so many FAFSA application that I saw how it all works. No extra financial aid for Whites and Arabs I have noticed.
@@MiloConningia It does not work to compare the aid given to an unmarried white student with no children to an unmarried black student with a child as that is no longer comparing apples to apples. The increase in aid for the student with the child cannot be attributed solely to race at that point. Therefore, to be accurate, one must control the other variables that impact the amount of aid given to students.
@@lisapippin1695 No. Im talking about married or unmarried. A white student does not get that extra aid but others do in the same circumstances.
@@MiloConningia right, but the amount of the excess aid cannot be measured unless comparing students with similar situations.
"People have an equal chance to get ahead if they work hard." True. But "work hard" is NOT the same for each person, and therein lies the problem. Everyone wants the same amount of work to result in the same amount of gain. That sounds great in theory, but that means if I train for as many hours as a linebacker in the NFL, I get to be a linebacker in the NFL too with a million dollar contract. We know that isn't how things work. What you're born with matters, and it's not fair. Life isn't fair. Brains aren't dolled out fairly. So to be a nuclear engineer or an MD, one person might be able to study X hours per week while another person needs to study 10 times that amount to achieve the same result. Now throw in the cultural differences, some of which lead to poorer results in a capitalist meritocracy like the one in which we live. Things like good study habits, safe bedroom practices, showing up on time, dressing how those in charge want you to dress whether you like it or not. These add up to make a massive difference. The path is there if you're willing to take it, and others may have an easier time than you. You can either resent that fact forever, continually complain and get nowhere, or you can suck it, work as hard as you personally need to work to achieve your goals, and you'll make it.
So the system is unfair so work your ass off and you may climb the ladder? There's only so much room up at the top and those places fill up pretty quickly. The rich get first pick. It's no wonder people get resentful.
@@kathrynanneperry4651 Yes, you won't make it to the top without major sacrifices and probably stepping on some throats. I won't make it to the top because I won't do this things. I also can't be a linebacker in the NFL or a male model. Should I sit around and stew about that? Or do I work my ass off at something I can do, something I can be good at. We can't all be CEOs and lawyers and doctors and NFL linebackers and models. If I find something I can do, and I work hard at it, I'll likely at least work my way into a bit of comfort and satisfaction. Will I be CEO? Of course not. But being realistic is a much better frame of mind IMHO.
@@gritnix I think too many people focus on the wrong kinds of jobs. Yes, people might want to imagine and dream about a socially acceptable and "high paying" job like a doctor, lawyer, actor, etc, but so what? Those jobs may have a lot of glamor to them, but there are plenty of other jobs available that make just as much if not more and are FAR easier for other people to get that aren't born with some kind of talent or good looks or born into a rich family.
Take pretty much any trade skill job. Welding, carpentry, air conditioning repair, truck driving, etc. Sure, these jobs aren't flashy and most people have the mentality that these are "drudge" jobs, but in reality a lot of these jobs pay REALLY well, into the high 60-80k mark on the low end and some of them go 6 figures.
So what if you are a from a low income family, single parent household in a bad town? You can go to a 6 month cert course and learn to drive a truck. Does it get as much social credit as a nurse or CEO? No, but it does make money and is it easier to get the job than competing with dozens or hundreds of other qualified applicants? Absolutely.
If anything a lot of those companies are absolutely begging for more applicants and offering benefits because they are so low with people interested in those types of jobs.
Wow based!
Racism is a spirit, rather than a word or deed.
I grew up poor and got a job as a janitor and was happy to get it. Then I tried to get better jobs by increasing my skill sets. I would apply to companies and would not get jobs I was qualified for because they needed minorities in those slots. They just hired minorities because they wanted the government off their backs. I started my own business and had to save for years to get money to run it because I couldn’t get loans to help me. I was kept down and they kept kicking me. I lost everything and was told screw off from banks that could have saved me while they gave emigrants loans and grants. It’s disgusting and now I’m bitter from life’s experience. Now I’m told I’m a racist just because of my skin color and I know that’s not true because I don’t have time to hate other people who are as poor as me. Now I don’t care about America and making money. I care only about myself and no one else because no one cares about me.
We as people are governed by the law of opposites.
ie: up/down, in/out, fire/ice, on/off, wet/dry and so on and so on....for everything there is an opposite to it.
You will never hear people talk about this.....but understanding that EVERYTHING has an opposite, ask yourself this....
Have you personally ever known anyone that just cant seem to lose? someone that doesnt have to try to be successful it just seems to come to them?
If you said yes, then you must understand that there are people out there and a LOT of them, that no matter what they do they are always going to suffer and will never be successful no matter how much they work and how hard they work.
These are the people that when they get a little extra money something always happens that rips it right out of their hands.
Its basic understanding of the rule of opposites but nobody ever talks about it, and the reason why is the people that are overly lucky feel guilt. And because they feel guilt they are blind to the plight of their counterparts.
Blaming others for your own failures and mediocrity is immature and self-defeating.
Guess I fell through the cracks or something. Had both parents growing up, still in poverty.
The kids of today see the instant gratification of technology and MAY think it should work in their professional life. In reality, for most people, wealth is accumulated incrementally. Instant satisfaction is NOT a reasonable ideal.
When special treatment is the norm, equal treatment feels like discrimination… Thomas Sowell
I would also say that based on population alone, if there is a job application or available opportunity and there is 10 white people and 3 "coloured" (Other ethnicity etc) going for the 1 spot, what are the probabilities a white person will get the position/opportunity over the "others" if their qualifications are similar? (not going deeper into it)
It could be the reverse as well but people do not realize this.
When it is not about meritocracy or equality of opportunity and transformed into equality of outcome and forcing a larger percentage to be "coloured" regardless of qualification and ability, you start to get a snowball effect that end up being a race to the bottom and everyone suffers.
It is at the pint that we do not even know if people who could be the most qualified are just "diversity hires" or not (DEI). That is in itself racist and dare I say illegal.
Happens all the time. Literally just had a discussion with my store manager about this since the district manager wanted to make diversity hires just to fill the numbers whereas my manager was looking for qualifications over diversity. Many companies have gone away from actually evaluating people based on skill and leaned more into social visibility instead (wanting to look like they are "politically correct" vs hiring competent staff).
That earning less than your parents is inflation and greed, tied with taxes.
This presumes inequity is a problem. It isn't. It does not matter that someone has more than you. What does matter is poverty. It matters people have enough. These are NOT the same thing AT ALL.
One thing that graph doesn't take into account is where each demographic is concentrated the most. If you're poor in the innercity you tend to be land locked into impoverished areas with a massive lack of opportunity to move up in life. Culture also has a factor. Leftist controlled cities love keeping people poor so they can prommise people free stuff that is never free
Love how people say blacks & Brown people. Or LGBTQ. Like All the groups think the same. You cant start with Stupid and make logical sense.😂😂
This conversation presented as it is, is quite confusing and vague.
8:00 People don’t understand the graph. The reason it was so high post WWII is because of fast growing economy. However in normal times you would expect about half of the kids to earn more than their parents, nothing wrong with that.
The problem with "median family income" is the same problem with the so called "pay wage gap".
Lumping billionaire families in with the mlions upon millions of dirt poor families skews the average up in a way that is highly misleading.
Yep, government made this mistake when they added extra money to unemployment benefits during the pandemic. They somehow thought that the average family needed the extra $600 a week on top of the normal benefits, but instead they were vastly overpaying compared to what the REAL average family makes in the US.
I was put on furlough for 4 months from my job and was making almost 4k a month on unemployment when typically I would only make around $2100 a month if I was lucky depending on how many hours I worked and how many training classes I sold (I made commission). And that's on the higher end for the average monthly for a single person, since the place I am living now I only make $1300 a month.
Was really nice to be able to finally pay off my car, but it also made a lot of people not want to go back to work because they were making more on unemployment than busting their a**es 40+ hours a week.
Actually, that's why they use MEDIAN rather than MEAN averages. The "contribution" from a billionaire or millionaire is just ONE rather than billions or millions. The MEAN average of the set 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 is 5 (i.e., 45/9) and so is the MEDIAN average (which is just the number in the middle of the set). But the MEAN of the set 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9999999 is 1111115 while the MEDIAN is still 5. Using MEDIAN instead of MEAN averages dilutes the effect of outliers on either extreme, which intentionally addresses your concern.
I love your approach but its gonna take more than a single class on this one I believe... lol
In the 1970s a teacher did a test on her third grade class of elementary school children where one day children with brown eyes had special privileges and the next day children with blue eyes had special privileges. Everyone got to feel what it was like to be discriminated against and it did change their lives even though they were only in the third grade. The same kids were interviewed 20 years after the experiment and had still been influenced by the one day that they were discriminated against. Of course that kind of test would be completely illegal now, God forbid elementary school children actually learn anything.
I agree, but look at the education the kids in this class are actually getting. At least these kids have this class instead of continuing on with pure nonsense.
1. Some people at the top can go the opposite direction too while others at the bottom go up. (social mobility)
2. No matter which step you're on, it's completely INDEPENDENT of where others are at. No zero-sum game.
3. The entire WORLD has risen up since America became a superpower. Like MASSIVELY so.
4. EVERYONE could have a $ billion b/c money is NOT finite!!! It's just a portable means to trade of our productivity.
yep
Household income. Interesting perspective when you add in that there are 70-75% single black mothers. So those households have one income. Even if that single mother has a decent paying job. Earning $65K that will still be lower than other households with 2 parents etc. There are so many nuances and ways how these averages/medians come about that are missing.
This conversation is so nuanced, and so many factors are involved, the idea of "privilege" and who has it isn't a straight line.
Also - It's not really race-based at all. It's being born into a certain level of afluency, adherence to certain cultural ideas (positive or negative), and individual ability, drive, and IQ.
Some people are more blessed
Obama wasn’t just blacks though. He was also white.
There are a bunch of groups that outperform white people in America including Nigerians, Jews and pretty much every Asian peoples. It bothers me when this professor accepts false information as a starting point. Also disparity doesn't necessarily equate to discrimination when there are multiple variables not accounted for. Discrimination comes from disdain or superiority and it is common for every single race to openly discriminate against whites. Academia does it, Hollywood does it, corporate news media does it, big tech does it with censorship, the Soros DA's and judges do it and the majority of our politicians do it. Literally all of the mainstream that creates the grand narrative goes in one direction. Combine all the narrative forces with all the Affirmative action and the DEI initiatives like "restorative justice" combined with all the indoctrination from Academia and it all goes in one direction; anti white, anti male, anti heterosexual, anti Christian, anti stoicism, anti nuclear family, anti middle class and anti West. This is because the American Constitution is only thing standing in the way of a global new world order and perpetual serfdom and endless conflict to serve the elites.
i am surprised they allowed that to be posted considering this media😂
@@thomgri About half the time I write something like this it gets removed even though I don't say anything hateful toward any identity group. If I were an important person, there would be much stronger reprocussions.
@@larsegenes6031 not a bad amount. i get the majority of mine removed and end up reposting in different way
^^^ THIS!!
He pulls together stats and charts but he doesnt have the right conclusions.
Where's the link to the full video? Thanks.
just as an idea for the last few lines you said about children in single parent households vs two parent households. in the western world, polyamory gains tracktion. suddenly, a child can have 3, 4 or 5 parents at home. it also allows for 3 parents working and still allow one to stay at home. in theory, polyamory isn't even required, just 2-3 couples who decide to form a household together, maybe siblings? suddenly, that is a really stable setup for raising children.
Not Privileged!!!
ADVANTAGED!!!
Advantages of: 2 parents, better looking/grooming, better social skills, focus on academics, the ethic of hard work, higher intelligence or athletic skills, etc.
Values instilled to ensure good footing and, hopefully, better futures for the next progeny over built over generations.
Comparing wealth serves purpose, however, how much is envy and the presumption of ill gotten gains?
Any way you can start leaving a link to the originals of these videos?
Friendly reminder that there is no such thing as reverse racsim.
People are never more racist than when they're accusing others of being racist.
How?
@@Mayamariamay lol cute
As a human of equally every race: creating a system (affirmative action or DEI) is institutionalized racism.
It's true for some people that if you work really hard and that that you can accomplish things and go places but it's also true that some people no matter how hard they work due to some circumstances like maybe an injury or something else that is of a societal nature we live in a society are you wrongly convicted of something someone lies about you many different things can happen to where you don't succeed in it is not the person's fault for not trying so let's get that out of your head if you just work hard you can accomplish anything that's bullshit
So....Are all college students this stupid these days? Or is it specific to certain colleges? 🤔
The Professor didn’t account for or even mention the role that corruption plays.
That implies that at all white people are corrupt.
When my best friend was applying for scholarships he always joked if he was a disabled black lesbian hed be set ... 🤔 That was late 90's
if it aint okay to do TO you, it aint okay for you to do. thats basic empathy.
Although people had children that made more money than they did, the value of money now is much lower than it was back then
I wonder if this professor knew that Asian Americans are the most successful in the country. That would have been the proper response to the point he was trying to make.
"privilege is growing up with a mother AND a father"
this feels like a racial joke about why crime went down after abortion was made legal in the 60s 🤣
the disparity in crime can be almost entirely explain by have or not having a father in the home. When you correct for that variable the differences in crime rates between races goes away. Black crime with fathers at home is about the same as white people with fathers at home..fuck all.
If you want to end crime and a long list of other issues you need to get fathers back in the home and stop the government paying women to kick them out.
It would be called cultural appropriation be it reversed.
If we called that they would not be able to use anything though.
This should be a requirement class to graduate from high school
I mean this as a compliment; this professor would've been the best beach bum if that was the path he chose.
Were all shades of wheat
This has nothing to do with racism. This is 100% about corps. Things switched in the US when both parents went to work. Corps get double the production and half the pay. You can literally see this in the chart.
Correct. Both parents went to work in the white families, not so much. In the black families, most are single mother households.
@@rosebronikowski2022 Yep, and that's why the Black families' households have very low median income. I just wish the professor actually explained that. One adult/parent in the house will generally make a lot less money than two adults/parents in a household.
"not that indians works at 7-eleven"
... I work at 7-eleven, the entire team is indian, the boss is indian, the boss's boss is an indian woman, and the boss's boss's boss is an indian woman... and every other 7-eleven in the area is ALSO staffed by indians, I am the sole white dude 🤣
I know he was joking, but that felt too real :D :D
lol, trying to avoid a stereotype, but fell right into it 🤣
I'm so happy that I am the number 400 of the likes. Yippee
Really wish you would link the original video
I received a scholarship but was withdrawn because they had no black recipients they gave it to someone with a lower gpa, two semesters later he was expelled and charged with sexual assault, he always rubbed it in my face that he got it and I didn't and gave my girlfriend who was Ethiopian a hard time for being with a white guy.
Bro the amount of ads is insane
It is on all sides. Every ethnic nationality is has racism is it. Most races I’ve ever seen or experienced was black to white or black to Asian or black to Mexican but everyone is geological location is different and in society I feel white experience more racism than anybody. I mean, we don’t teach our kids like some communities to hate the white man to hate the police, live off food stamp live off government housing defund police we don’t teach our children that we’re teaching a treat one fair equal love everybody don’t be hated. Don’t be racism. Don’t be all these things but yet other communities don’t teach their children that and that’s the problem. Everybody wants respect, but nobody wants to give respect, they will always be bump heads.
“Some GODLY reason” …. You can’t make this Idiocracy up.
My first question is how do you feel more discriminated against than black people? I want to hear examples.
Diversity quotas will often exlude highly qualified people just because their race isn't what the company is looking for.
I wouldn’t say I feel any more discrimination than blacks do. I do believe that it depends on the situation and circumstances involved. In some scenarios it is more beneficial to be black, in others white. The starkest contrast to me is how it is now completely, 100% socially acceptable to shit on and denigrate white people. This is the most noticeable difference to me
And there will always be people along those steps that need help. But for the most part, everybody can climb those steps. I can tell you that most white people do not have generational wealth. Their parents are just working day-to-day like everybody else. But I won’t deny that it’s built in us to want to leave something for our kids even at our own deprivation.
I keep hearing it and it shows how racist the terms are, but what's a " Black person " and a " Brown person " when all humans have different shades of brown and no Black and White skin tones exist amongst humans at all.
wow that is so deep and profound. I wonder if anyone has ever thought such a deep thought before.
Sick hoop hearings.
I would like to see these racial comparisons looking only at working and middle-class families. Essentially take the billionaires out of the equation. I think you would see much more equality. Those at the top don't want you thinking about that. They don't want those at the lower levels to realize that there is class warfare going on else they might start fighting back. Instead, they get all the races and those with different ideologies fighting against each other so they can go on adding to their already substantial wealth.
This is all about making your money work for you instead of working for money…once you figure that out, the color of your skin is irrelevant
Where is the original video?
It Will be if the DEMS keep POWER!
Isn't per capita income a better indicator of how well the races are doing? Some races may save more than others or are more concerned about passing on wealth to their children. Household wealth hides these differences that are not because of privileges. Who are the highest earners in America? Look it up, you may be surprised. Some of the groups that do better than whites in America are Asian Indians, Pakistanis, Nigerians and Chinese (both Taiwanese and Mainland), Lebanese and Argentines, just to name e few.
our next generation is doom.
It is really just math
Lets talk about the historical oppression of whites eg the Irish
But the median income is a bad way to compile stats. It blend the poorest in the countries with richest and the middle incomes together. Which will skew the statistics.
The analogy is flawed. What he’s not taking into account is that the reason Kyle and the other guy are so high up the steps is probably because their parents and grandparents also valued hard work which gave them a leg up. So if generationally speaking the black and brown persons family does the same it will move them up equivalently in time. You can’t just expect to work hard and be a billionaire in a couple years. That’s not realistic. No amount of equity is going to fix that. The guys are just higher up the steps because of their skin color.
Would you please think about the phrase "If you look at the world"? Wonder what percentage of the world's population has never interacted with a white person? How many in populations who, where they were "exploited" (India), answered to a prince and it was the prince who became wealthy?
What did the English trade for their accumulation of wealth? Wasn't it the lives of their citizens to be used for the benefit of some foreign leader making themselves wealthy and popular in exchange for exclusive access?
Is crazy you cant have these discussions in certain schools. We should have em be used as mandatory videos.. i mean wow how are people tryna delearn they kids
