Racism has always been odd to me. I'm mulatto, most of my best friends have been Asian, and I live around a bunch of Latino and native American people. I would say I've had a pretty diverse experience of the various races. When I moved to another country for a few years of my life, I saw that everybody had been affected by that country's culture. A simple example is modesty. Where I came from (and still live) people have a higher level of base decorum in modesty. Where I moved? It was very different. And it wasn't along racial lines. It affected Asians (although less so, because most of them were immigrants), Arabs, Whites, Blacks... you name it. I couldn't tell you a single race that was a immunized against the tides of social influence and cultural trends. I've even met racists before, although only online, and they were cordial to me even after finding out my race. It was always interesting that despite viewing me as, in some way, inferior they were still willing to have thoughtful conversations with me. It's odd isn't it? You probably wouldn't have a thoughtful conversation with a dog, or a monkey, or someone you thought was mentally handicapped. This is ultimately to say that as I've gone through life, I haven't been able to make any level of accurate judgement about people using their race. It's inherently a silly concept to me, which is why I think racist memes and jokes are just that, funny. Of course, I've learned over time, not everyone sees it that way. When it comes to this situation, I "understand" it, even if I view it as silly, misguided, and evil. There's almost overwhelming propaganda that white people are the cause of evils, but that the issues that plague (predominantly) black communities are simply a fact of life, or even worse, the downstream effect of white people's actions. I can see why people would come to the conclusion that this is in fact, a racial thing. What could the mainstream media be hiding? Why is there such a crime issue with certain black communities? The truth is that it's hard to accept that such evils could come from our hands. That whether you're white, black, asian, etc. you could be the one inundated with a culture that causes such an increase in violent crime. So what is the easy solution? Just get rid of the black people. It doesn't require a plan to improve the lives of those who live in the same country as us, or navigating the complex culture wars of today. It's essentially ending a war with a nuke, giving up on finding a resolution to a problem. Personally, I wish the mainstream would hold people to the same standard. I wish we could point out evils belonging to any race with the same ferocity. But I know that's not the world we live in. Until we do though, I think it will only get worse.
Glad to hear your voice, bud. If you want to test your mettle, then the twin dojos of the south known as Dollar General and Waffle House are where all the young warriors go.
The reason why he did this is because, like you said, he was a coward, but also he had a unfortunate false understanding of the world. Like that evil bastard Roof, may he rot in hell, he correctly understood that many whites in the country are subject to violent antiwhite attacks. What he got wrong is that he focused on the race of the attackers of those white people (much of the time) and not their ideology that justified those attacks in their minds. In the same way that nobody's born guilty of things others did who look like them for being born white, also nobody's guilty for being born black. He incorrectly believed that the subset of violent antiwhites who are black, were committing their crimes *because* they were black. No pity for him, may he rot in hell, but if you're trying to understand where his mind was at, this is it.
Nope, there's an actual subset of racists that believe black people are essentially pests that should be exterminated or suppressed as much as possible. That "incorrect" belief alone is not why they choose to kill.
@BassFZz This is a horrific event and I am glad that you are physically fine. My wife and I escaped the Dallas shooting, several years ago and even I, a veteran of 2 branches of the military was shook up for a day or to afterwards. I want you to know that it goes away with time but, I would recommend to you that you don’t write this incident off as a one off. I whole heartedly believe you have the right to defend yourself and recommend you have the capability and training to do so ( if you haven’t done so already). I would also like to note, that in the aftermath of events such as these, that similar to Dr Frankenstein averting his gaze at anything other than his creation, we obfuscate or blame many other things for this evil. I commend you for your ability to look at that evil forthrightly and not be shaken in your belief in human beings.
Oh no. I’m fine. I wasn’t there physically. The terrifying thing for me is that, I very well COULD have been. I had actually been around the Dollar General several times. As I thought about it, it was somewhat lucky I didn’t go to work that day to be around that area. And this video is the results of my thoughts on that reality. So to clear, I’m fine physically. It’s just something that bothered me for a bit.
How did you serve in 2 branches of the military? and Can i join the military to serve in more then one branch of the Military? I kind of like all the different branches of the military though.
@@TCKRDefense I served 4 years of active duty in the Marine Corps and then afterwards joined the Tx Army National guard. I was young and needed a kick in the ass to dislodge my head. My advice would be to go in with an open mind and do your best no matter how crappy the situation.
@@BASSFZz I am glad of that. I would like to pose a question to you and I hope this doesn’t across as defense for patently idiotic brain droppings of racists. Do you think people in America are more off put by black American culture, or black people in general. I ask because I have black American family members, friends and acquaintances. Some good and some bad, however a noticeable proportion partake in, to varying degrees, a culture I can’t stand. Drugs, degrading music, violence, police encounters, in short drama. Contrastingly, my (admittedly smaller sample size) of African and Caribbean friends and acquaintances don’t take part in these activities or at least to a significantly smaller degree. I have nearly no problems with them and as far as I can tell no one else seems to either. Do you think that people on average make those distinctions between cultures more than skin? Do you think people would leave those prejudices behind if they were to see that? Apologies for being long winded but I am sure you are aware that due to the nature of this kind of question that caveats and couching is necessary. All the best
@@jakedowney1706 It’s the culture. Thomas Sowell has done the heavy lifting on this topic and wrote books about it but it’s southern redneck culture which is in fact old remnants of Scottish highland culture. The times blacks moved away from this in America, they became well integrated and liked in their communities. Then when large influxes of southern blacks to their community began, this alienated even these integrated blacks from their friends and neighbors. The UA-cam channel Sowell TV has videos which give short summaries of his books and it’s really worth your time.
Terrifying thought. I always wonder of the possibilities when my beloved content creators vanish such as Blue Skies Media... There are numerous and the number will only grow into the future :(
Hmm... idk... sounds like you're telling us to notice evil but not the "background" of those who are overwhelmingly committing those evil acts? or no? So crime data be damned?
We are getting into a very paranoid space in America. I'm truly sorry that you were faced with that. People have a sinful side to them. It's getting the best of people nowadays.
I live in Waukesha Wisconsin. Every day when I drive to work I drive down the street where that scumbag drove through the Christmas parade. I rarely hear about him
I find the accounts who show violence or the extremes of one specific race or ideology quite repulsive because it's the epitome of cherry picking. There are about 8 billion people on this earth a number our minds can't even conceive of and we come to the conclusion by watching these biased accounts that they're all violent or not smart etc. Do me a favor, count to 1000 see how long it takes, now imagine watching 1000 videos of some person's narrative, it would color your perception of anything. Lastly these accounts vids are akin to 1984's 2 mins of hate, further dividing us, I won't lie I like feeling righteous as well as I laugh or get angry at people who do not share my world view, but I do keep in mind that what I'm seeing is highly filtered to fit a narrative, same with those man on the street interviews and crazy podcast clips.
I've grown up trying to point this out to my family members, but Tribal thinking ia hard to break though. Its silly to hate people for things they had no controll over, yet that's exacly what racist do. It sucks that I have to be on aleart when I'm out and about, but the sad truth is no one cares for my well being besides me. If I don't protect myself, then I too can end up laying in my own blood. I've already been shot so I'm aware that it can come out of nowhere, but I can't let that stop me from activly looking to maintain as much safty as I can.
Yes, a really messed up way of thinking, skin color is just skin color, nothing more. But people unfortunately categorize eachother by skin color, height, muscle size, how pretty they are and other superficial traits. If we would use more important traits such as moral values and behaviour when relating to others, we'd have a better world.
The point of what he is saying is that..since most black americans don't display such behavior then it is clearly not genetic but rather an individual issue..the focus should be on stigmatizing and punishing bad behavior regardless of race..stop looking for a way to justify your anti-black hatred.
i like guns, and i think self defense is important and that means to buy a gun legally and take gun training at a shooting ranch for self defense is the point.
There's one problem with some of your point-of-view here. If it was returned fire he was so worried about them why did he shoot himself? I think it's more likely he was scared of being arrested.
Perhaps the pain of not dying immediately. Or perhaps being the coward he was, much like Eliot Roger wanted to avoid any chance of being arrested. I dunno.
I live in the DR, and our neighbor Haiti is plagued with poverty and corruption which ultimately leads to a sh8 load of crime. As such, many migrate here illegally. A lot of them are hard working people who just wish for a better life, but many are also evil sh8stains. They've been a drain on us economically and socially since my grandparents era. In general, Dominicans are very religious (Christians), and have tried their best not to hate Haitians. But over the years I've seen how their patience has been dwindling and DR is once again shutting it's doors. The last time the countries tried to coexist on a mass scale, thousands died. The real problem is not racism, racism is the symptom of two different people with two different cultures living together. This has been proved time and time ago across the world. The only solution is segregation (only let those who can assimilate in). You are completely right BASS, logic is on your side, but people are not logical.
I haven't listened to the entire video yet, but you're a good and intelligent guy; always have been in the time I've known you. The problem here is that not only is division being pushed along racial lines for political purposes, but there are genuine issues within some communities that make it easier for that divide to widen, especially with many useful idiots willing to play the role. Ultimately the issue is one of ideology, but we do have to take into account how that ideology impacts people on the basis of their identifying characteristics, because they're obviously important enough to individuals to take extreme measures for. The solution is not a simple one, but it can only occur if we are willing to be honest about the problems and figure out how to move forward as a "diverse" society so that innocent people stop suffering over this ideology.
egotistical gang banger types are not exclusive to one race. I agree with you. All depends on your area what you run into. I live in a predominantly white area, and there are some very dangerous and bad white dudes here like everywhere.
You're correct. I live in a country where it's 96% white (Scotland), and the same things still happen. But since there's no racial component involved, it's looked at for what it is. Just down south in England, the gang/urban lifestyle gets promoted, and that's more racialized since in England, most of the gang/urban lifestyle tends to be people who are black/asian in certain areas. The same problems happen in the USA as well, but the racism element is even higher still, because that's more of a mixed ethnicity. All 3 share the same class culture issue, but the more the ethnic group percentage gets higher, the focus goes away from the issue itself, and focuses more on the racial component of it.
@@EntertheFray1 What is the white homicide rate in Scotland ? Why speak in vagueries? I have yet to find a single majority white even poor area with a similar homicide rate to even middle class blk neighborhoods. People dressing like gang members isn't the same thing as actually spinning the block.
@@angelmartin7310 I looked it up, but not by statistics of race. As I said, the demographic is 96% white here. You can do research yourself if you're curious to do a comparison. it's 10 per 1 million. But it used to be around 25 per 1 million in the early 2000s, the chart I looked off cut off from that in 2002, it might be higher in the 90s. I just did a quick search, so it could be inaccurate. I don't know. Glasgow in Scotland is probably still one of the UKs least peaceful urban areas, but it used to be rated as the highest in the entire world for knife crime I think in the 90s/2000s. You're not going to find Scotland as some peaceful little country, the idea of gangs dates back ages here.
@@angelmartin7310 "The study found that a number of factors appear to affect rates of violent crime including an aging population and decreasing alcohol consumption. While Scottish police do not record whether alcohol was a factor in violent crimes, alcohol specific offences also show positive downtrends. Drunkenness, including categories of drunk and incapable, and drunk with a child, dropped by over 25% in the period between 2001 and 2010. Recorded numbers of drunk driving also dropped 20% in the same period. The report’s data show that improving incomes, access to employment and protection from the worst effects of poverty for the poorest communities could have a significant impact on reducing violence. A close correlation between levels of violence was also found with the number of single-parent households, overcrowded housing and high rates of teenage pregnancy. While there are many factors at play, it appears that areas with high concentrations of small businesses and retired people and easy access to primary schools were associated with higher levels of peace."
26:36 - It's kinda like being targeted for hate by women for being a man because some man once raped a woman. The tale of the easy path towards temptation and the hard road towards salvation holds true when applied to understanding these problems.
"What White parent wants their children with these people, honest answers only" Me. If I had children, I would want them with these people, these people being the children and parents in the room who had no tolerance for rudeness and incivility. Also, we need an All Lives Matter movement, an honest, authentic one. If someone has no sympathy for a white victim of black violence, they are not welcome. They have plenty of places they can go. If someone has no sympathy of black victims of white racism, then they are not welcome. There are plenty of places they can go. A movement where every victim, regardless of race is given the same sympathy, and every perpetrator, regardless of race, is given the same condemnation. It is evil to do harm to others based on race, and evil must be condemned.
Except...many African Americans will actually disagree with you. Which triggers the core "racism" here Interracial crime is very skewed in a certain direction, and any commitment from AAs will generally be against AA culture and offenders. ALM is impossible, it is just a counter to BLM. It exists because of the SAME reason.
Evil exists. Pretending that it's fake or just a "societal construct" is not going to make it go away. You can cherry pick some situations where the morality isn't clear, but how can you watch some guy blow away three innocent people he's never met and say "nah, evil doesn't exist."?
3:24 I can. Not saying it was called for by any means because this is obviously tragic. It’s easy to “other” people when you’re only or primary exposure to another group of people is them displaying horrible traits. Let’s not be daft.
I’m really not. 🤔 I guess the “more” shook is how it could have been a 28 year old me shot and killed in Dollar General for absolutely no reason. Which…I selfishly did make a point of at the very start of the video my friend.
@@BASSFZz Is this really the first time a random shooting has happened somewhere you frequent? I could have been shot at the Greenwood Mall Shooting. I could also have been carjacked or shot by Pookie's stray bullets countless times over anytime I dare enter the city because blk men kill white people at 48x the rate of the inverse. Maybe that has something to do with what you see on Twitter these days. People tend to dislike demographics who kill at many times the rate of others for no apparent reason. Maybe get a handle on that issue as men...your job is to bring order, no? Who should be bringing order to your own community if not you?
@@angelmartin7310 while I agree with the stats, and violence and homicide rates in certain communities. I don't think it's necessarily fair to say THAT HE Bass needs to be the one to solve it "your job is too keep it in order" or keep his people in line. Who is he and what hasn't already been said that he could add to it? Should everyone have that same mindset hey because this individual killed X group you need to keep your group in line or else? I just think that was incredibly childish statement to make. It just sounds like your attacking the individual and painting the entire group rather than calling out a subset of that group that is violent. Which I'm sure most people would agree with , it's a problem that needs to be changed.
@@justinoliver4053 If the sane, intelligent men of a community feel no obligation to bring order and stability to their community their people will always carry a negative reputation they can't escape from. I refuse to be gaslit about the cause of this negative reputation hanging over the blk community as if it's more our fault for noticing than blk men's fault for failing to lead their people. I understand the urge to want to assuage blk men like Bass from guilt or culpability but it is unhealthy and ultimately emasculating. There is no escaping the reputation of your race as a man. It will follow you wherever you go and no amount of warring against pattern recognition will save you the consequences of that reputation. What irks me is that those who feel no sense of responsibility for their community have spent decades and decades shaming us for noticing the pattern rather than trying to actually change the pattern.
@@angelmartin7310 your acting as if people arent calling this out even within the black community no one I know is an agreement with the violent behavior within that subset. Plenty of people , groups have called that out that behavior. Again I'm not against what your saying most people agree with you that it needs to be addressed. So you don't need to draw the line in the sand these types of discussions are had a lot. My issue is going after the individual and taking it out on the individual whose done nothing wrong. for the actions of someone else in a more violent subset in that group. What do you want that individual to do to call it out, plenty of people have done it with some success and others not so much. Go on shows calling out the violence, go march, go talk at a community center? At most bass in this instance could talk about it more in his videos. But what irks me is that I as my own person ,law abiding , haven't gotten into any trouble, is being told you should be doing X Y or Z and its my fault. As if it there fault for not speaking up about issues that I myself am not in control of . I cannot control whose violent or not, any more than you can. For example being this guy who shot up the general convenience store. What I tell other black people don't get into trouble, make something of yourself lead by example not by marching or speeches. Get a great job and keep building yourself too me that's how you make the difference. I'm a beginner in software engineering, I have a young cousin whose an electrician starting a business, I have friends in the FBI, and other who have amounted to something. Older black in government told me what to get into early on. That's about as much difference that I've seen or encountered and I've done the same but I can't change everyone, sometimes the only difference you can make is a very small one.

In general, Dominicans are very religious (Christians), and have tried their best not to hate Haitians. But over the years I've seen how their patience has been dwindling and DR is once again shutting it's doors.
The last time the countries tried to coexist on a mass scale, thousands died.
The real problem is not racism, racism is the symptom of two different people with two different cultures living together. This has been proved time and time ago across the world. The only solution is segregation (only let those who can assimilate in).
You are completely right BASS, logic is on your side, but people are not logical.
Good to see you back. I missed your videos. You always make the world better and brighter by calling out the things that happen in our world today.
OHNOES! DO NOT DIE! That would be bad,
i love you bazzfzz pls give me a heart, it will me me happy
You got your heart buddy. 😎
it's joever
Amen brother. Godspeed.
You talk an awful lot of sense, but the solution is for nobody to have guns, like here in Europe
Nah
I haven't listened to the entire video yet, but you're a good and intelligent guy; always have been in the time I've known you. The problem here is that not only is division being pushed along racial lines for political purposes, but there are genuine issues within some communities that make it easier for that divide to widen, especially with many useful idiots willing to play the role. Ultimately the issue is one of ideology, but we do have to take into account how that ideology impacts people on the basis of their identifying characteristics, because they're obviously important enough to individuals to take extreme measures for. The solution is not a simple one, but it can only occur if we are willing to be honest about the problems and figure out how to move forward as a "diverse" society so that innocent people stop suffering over this ideology.
egotistical gang banger types are not exclusive to one race. I agree with you. All depends on your area what you run into. I live in a predominantly white area, and there are some very dangerous and bad white dudes here like everywhere.
Show me the high homicide white neighborhood?
You're correct.
I live in a country where it's 96% white (Scotland), and the same things still happen. But since there's no racial component involved, it's looked at for what it is. Just down south in England, the gang/urban lifestyle gets promoted, and that's more racialized since in England, most of the gang/urban lifestyle tends to be people who are black/asian in certain areas. The same problems happen in the USA as well, but the racism element is even higher still, because that's more of a mixed ethnicity.
All 3 share the same class culture issue, but the more the ethnic group percentage gets higher, the focus goes away from the issue itself, and focuses more on the racial component of it.
@@EntertheFray1 What is the white homicide rate in Scotland ? Why speak in vagueries? I have yet to find a single majority white even poor area with a similar homicide rate to even middle class blk neighborhoods. People dressing like gang members isn't the same thing as actually spinning the block.
@@angelmartin7310 I looked it up, but not by statistics of race. As I said, the demographic is 96% white here. You can do research yourself if you're curious to do a comparison. it's 10 per 1 million. But it used to be around 25 per 1 million in the early 2000s, the chart I looked off cut off from that in 2002, it might be higher in the 90s. I just did a quick search, so it could be inaccurate. I don't know. Glasgow in Scotland is probably still one of the UKs least peaceful urban areas, but it used to be rated as the highest in the entire world for knife crime I think in the 90s/2000s. You're not going to find Scotland as some peaceful little country, the idea of gangs dates back ages here.
@@angelmartin7310 "The study found that a number of factors appear to affect rates of violent crime including an aging population and decreasing alcohol consumption. While Scottish police do not record whether alcohol was a factor in violent crimes, alcohol specific offences also show positive downtrends. Drunkenness, including categories of drunk and incapable, and drunk with a child, dropped by over 25% in the period between 2001 and 2010. Recorded numbers of drunk driving also dropped 20% in the same period.
The report’s data show that improving incomes, access to employment and protection from the worst effects of poverty for the poorest communities could have a significant impact on reducing violence.
A close correlation between levels of violence was also found with the number of single-parent households, overcrowded housing and high rates of teenage pregnancy. While there are many factors at play, it appears that areas with high concentrations of small businesses and retired people and easy access to primary schools were associated with higher levels of peace."
I thought this was going to be about a white gold digger.
26:36 - It's kinda like being targeted for hate by women for being a man because some man once raped a woman. The tale of the easy path towards temptation and the hard road towards salvation holds true when applied to understanding these problems.
"What White parent wants their children with these people, honest answers only" Me. If I had children, I would want them with these people, these people being the children and parents in the room who had no tolerance for rudeness and incivility.
Also, we need an All Lives Matter movement, an honest, authentic one. If someone has no sympathy for a white victim of black violence, they are not welcome. They have plenty of places they can go. If someone has no sympathy of black victims of white racism, then they are not welcome. There are plenty of places they can go. A movement where every victim, regardless of race is given the same sympathy, and every perpetrator, regardless of race, is given the same condemnation.
It is evil to do harm to others based on race, and evil must be condemned.
Unironically, what we need is God.
Except...many African Americans will actually disagree with you. Which triggers the core "racism" here
Interracial crime is very skewed in a certain direction, and any commitment from AAs will generally be against AA culture and offenders.
ALM is impossible, it is just a counter to BLM. It exists because of the SAME reason.
I just hate all humans. I used to love like that dove lade to ruins.
Nice video. But the word evil .. jeez. What does it mean ? How can someone be "evil" ? We should stop labeling using that word. Its to easy
Evil exists. Pretending that it's fake or just a "societal construct" is not going to make it go away. You can cherry pick some situations where the morality isn't clear, but how can you watch some guy blow away three innocent people he's never met and say "nah, evil doesn't exist."?
@@ShmooZeroOmega Ok..What is evil ?
3:24 I can. Not saying it was called for by any means because this is obviously tragic. It’s easy to “other” people when you’re only or primary exposure to another group of people is them displaying horrible traits. Let’s not be daft.
"All violence is violence" so why are you more shook by this violence?
I’m really not. 🤔 I guess the “more” shook is how it could have been a 28 year old me shot and killed in Dollar General for absolutely no reason.
Which…I selfishly did make a point of at the very start of the video my friend.
@@BASSFZz Is this really the first time a random shooting has happened somewhere you frequent? I could have been shot at the Greenwood Mall Shooting. I could also have been carjacked or shot by Pookie's stray bullets countless times over anytime I dare enter the city because blk men kill white people at 48x the rate of the inverse. Maybe that has something to do with what you see on Twitter these days. People tend to dislike demographics who kill at many times the rate of others for no apparent reason. Maybe get a handle on that issue as men...your job is to bring order, no? Who should be bringing order to your own community if not you?
@@angelmartin7310 while I agree with the stats, and violence and homicide rates in certain communities.
I don't think it's necessarily fair to say THAT HE Bass needs to be the one to solve it "your job is too keep it in order" or keep his people in line. Who is he and what hasn't already been said that he could add to it? Should everyone have that same mindset hey because this individual killed X group you need to keep your group in line or else?
I just think that was incredibly childish statement to make.
It just sounds like your attacking the individual and painting the entire group rather than calling out a subset of that group that is violent. Which I'm sure most people would agree with , it's a problem that needs to be changed.
@@justinoliver4053 If the sane, intelligent men of a community feel no obligation to bring order and stability to their community their people will always carry a negative reputation they can't escape from. I refuse to be gaslit about the cause of this negative reputation hanging over the blk community as if it's more our fault for noticing than blk men's fault for failing to lead their people. I understand the urge to want to assuage blk men like Bass from guilt or culpability but it is unhealthy and ultimately emasculating.
There is no escaping the reputation of your race as a man. It will follow you wherever you go and no amount of warring against pattern recognition will save you the consequences of that reputation.
What irks me is that those who feel no sense of responsibility for their community have spent decades and decades shaming us for noticing the pattern rather than trying to actually change the pattern.
@@angelmartin7310 your acting as if people arent calling this out even within the black community no one I know is an agreement with the violent behavior within that subset.
Plenty of people , groups have called that out that behavior. Again I'm not against what your saying most people agree with you that it needs to be addressed. So you don't need to draw the line in the sand these types of discussions are had a lot.
My issue is going after the individual and taking it out on the individual whose done nothing wrong. for the actions of someone else in a more violent subset in that group.
What do you want that individual to do to call it out, plenty of people have done it with some success and others not so much. Go on shows calling out the violence, go march, go talk at a community center? At most bass in this instance could talk about it more in his videos.
But what irks me is that I as my own person ,law abiding , haven't gotten into any trouble, is being told you should be doing X Y or Z and its my fault. As if it there fault for not speaking up about issues that I myself am not in control of . I cannot control whose violent or not, any more than you can. For example being this guy who shot up the general convenience store.
What I tell other black people don't get into trouble, make something of yourself lead by example not by marching or speeches. Get a great job and keep building yourself too me that's how you make the difference.
I'm a beginner in software engineering, I have a young cousin whose an electrician starting a business, I have friends in the FBI, and other who have amounted to something. Older black in government told me what to get into early on.
That's about as much difference that I've seen or encountered and I've done the same but I can't change everyone, sometimes the only difference you can make is a very small one.
Sorry to hear that❤❤❤
Don’t be sorry. It’s something I thought about for awhile. But to be fair…well…I’m alive. Im here. Lol
Shooter looks like a game grump
Don't go to DG bro
