Simple phrase with a lot of meaning. I've liked that guy since I was about 9, before I ever even knew what racism meant, all I knew, he was the painted man, and he nailed that witch with a big friggin sword.
I am mulling many points over but the one thing I would distill from this video is that being an asshole is not exclusive domain of any one skin color, etc. Anybody can be an asshole. The video covers this in a different fashion but it's true, being an asshole is an attribute anybody can have regardless of race, gender, whatever.
This true, as a Christian I see the end times getting closer and closer. Tik tok is made by Satan and all these young youth are getting sucked in to the hole. Hell is real and believe me it will be full of young youth like these girls.
@Time Travelling Prototype, We still need to call such people what they are (racists) no matter how much universities and “activists” in the past half a decade have tried to change the definition of racism to fit their agenda from what it previously was since the beginning of its creation that they’ve now assigned as to a much milder term and definition “prejudice”, which again, was not the original definition or separate. Calling such bad people “assholes” is putting it nicely.
Thank you gentlemen. As a white person raised in a blue collar family. Watching my family members destroy themselves in the unrelenting stress of poverty, lack of education this whole “privileged” word has left me scratching my head.
Ok what you're saying... But, white privilege is different than falling on hard time or struggling. White ppl don't get racially profiled by cops most of the time. White ppl aren't automatically thought of as bad ppl, u less the person has done something 1st. White ppl are t watched at stores 1/2 as much as colored folks. That's what they're talking about about.
@@kara_30the whole purpose of the video was saying that white people are literally seen as bad people by the majority of society without even doing anything. And I agree that watching black people at stores extra hard is wrong but it is true that black people are convicted of shoplifting, theft, armed robbery, and breaking n entering more than any other race. But that’s not a race thing, it’s just an socio economic thing. Black people aren’t inherently bad and most everyone believes that. White people arent inherently bad but most people see white people as bad people without even talking to them. Just look at the facts and be the kindest person you can be inside your head and speaking. If everyone did this we would live in a society filled with respect and love for one me another
“It’s not a race thing it’s a socioeconomic thing” bro why do you think cops are always intentionally put in black neighborhoods. Black men are only around 6% of the population but like 50% of prisoners. Have you never heard of redlining, the crack epidemic made by our own government to disenfranchise people of color. What an ignorant take
@@kara_30 I'm 9/11 brown. If you follow the law or the cop's instructions, you won't be racially profiled. If you kept your own people in check and shamed them for being violent thugs so they wouldn't go around attacking everybody and everything then the police wouldn't have to worry about them doing dumb shit. The last couple of years unarmed, black deaths in the US were negligible. It's always some violent thug not wanting to face the consequences for his actions.
@@kara_30 This entire video proves how youre completely wrong. How did you watch the video then feel that this was appropriately said? That is kind of crazy honestly.
Yes!!!! And more specifically SATAN VERSES JESUS... There are adept satanists at the forefront of these evil agendas. They attacking ppl through many movements. The abortion topic, LGBTQ movement, climate control, the CRT and race movement... Etc so on... They playing chess while most of us playing checkers. There's always gone be bad apples in EVERY BUNCH. They thieves, liars, child molesters, wife beaters, drunks etc so on IN EVERY GROUP OF PPL. EVIL VERSES GOOD YEP... TOTALLY AGREED I think we need to wake up tho... And realize the season we are in.... THE END DAYS... ALL THIS PROPHESIED.
You’re talking to rocks and tree, branches for brains, saying the same thing and comments time after time will amount to nothing. Sadly, I see more closet racist people in these comments then enlighten people glad that fellow humans are on the same page. Leave the fools to their foolery and attain your wealth. Go forth for your children if nothing more. But keep Hope in your heart and pass it on.
Exactly. If you collect 100 black ants and 100 red ants and put them in a glass jar nothing will happen, but if you take the jar, shake it violently and leave it on the table, the ants will start killing each other. Reds believe that black is the enemy while black believes that red is the enemy when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar.
We live in such a bad time, my mom taught me to look at everyday as if they was all the same skin color and I still see it like that till this day, I’m not going to let this woke agenda change my mind cuz it’s the truth, never looked at race, color or anything. Like this hatred doesn’t benefit nothing and plus being this is such a SHORT life to invest time into these things😂
My grandfather was born on the reservation and he told me they had slaves from other tribes. We are all sinners and need to live together as one in God. We must get our Christian brothers and sisters back together and love one another. Why are we doing this to one another? Evil is here and knocking at our doors.
Your acting like Christian’s weren’t the ones in white cloaks burning people at the stake on there lawns and throwing women in rivers to see if they would sink or swim. Religion literally makes war and division worse.
I was born a sinner but I will not pay for the sins of my distant fathers. They are not mine. I did not inherit them. Given, none of my ancestors were slave owners, they were kicked around and out of Europe.
It's the "black people can't be racist" that gets on my nerves. Every single race, Ethnicity, Nationality, shade, sexuality, gender, idfk.... hair type could be racist. Racism is not limited to one type of person, and nobody fits a stereotype 100% Edit: my comment blew up... it's fun to read through the comments even though most of you guys don't know proper grammar! Pop off I guess... Edit part 2: but no in all actuality, I'm really happy that people are getting up willing to have conversations like this. Edit part 3: the comments section assuming my race and even my gender and religion is making me laugh...I'm a random person on the internet yet people are assuming I'm white, Christian, and a man... think again I guess?
@@tarrantwolf how is it racist to say that anyone who discriminates against another person based on race is racist? That is the definition of racism. If you discriminate against someone because they're black, you're racist, if you discriminate against them because they are Asian, you're racist, and if you discriminate against them because they are white... you're racist. Thinking that it doesn't apply to white people doesn't even make sense. Do you think that white people don't have feelings? Do you think that white children should be taught that they are bad because they are white? That's a lot of negative pressure put on these children to take on the guilt of their ancestors for things that they would never do themselves. And most of them weren't even involved in slavery or anything like that. My parents came to Canada the year before I was born but I've been taught to feel guilty because some British colonies in the United States had slaves over a hundred years ago... and they were white, and I'm also white, so I'm guilty too. Should all black people feel guilty because of the Rwandan genocide? It was black people who participated in that, so regardless of which African country they came from or if they grew up in America, should they be held responsible for it on the basis of skin colour? Of course not. Even the direct descendants of those people should not be held accountable for what their parents did. We are all created equal in the image of God and are all equally loved by him. We all have a common ancestor and are just very very distant cousins who adapted differently to our environments and that effected our skin colour. That's all.
I spent way to long staring at your comment with a mix anger/hurt and my logical side saying you couldn't know and there is no way it's your fault. I also went to school in the 80s/90s and moved to SO Cal in 89' to a school where there were 5 black kids in my class, me the one white kid, and the rest were Mexican. Every day I was called names, I'd get jumped before/after school, they'd steal my backpack and throw it in the trash bin, force me to go in after it so they could call me a white trash picker, they shattered my cats jaw by hitting him with a skateboard, I was suicidal through most of my early teens till I eventually dropped out and left home at 16 to live with a 25yo man just to get away from it all. It wasn't the black children that did it, it was the Mexican children. I'm only saying this so you know it's been that way and at your same timeframe. I'm sure location and being a minority were factors but it did happen. When I had first moved there I was stupidly optimistic and excited to learn about Mexican culture and stuff, and by the end I ended up with a deep mistrust of Mexicans that lasted into my 20s.
I'm white, blond and blue eyed and grew up in the 80s and 90s and we never had any issues with racism or predudices back then. When I was a teen everyone had their own style weather it be hip hop, punk, goth, grunge, heavy metal fans, skater boys etc but everyone hung out together and had fun. The amount of victim mentality and ignorance in today's society is insane. Young people seem to scream racism or transphobia etc everytime their entitled ass is not the center of the universe. Back in the days we knew we had to work hard to achieve our goals and being kind to people no matter what their style, color, nationality or gender - was the way to go about life. Why are people so damn obsessed about creating divisions? What's that all about????
They do it because they can. And they claim it’s not “racism” because they don’t wanna put themselves in that same box they put “white racists”in. Which now a days means disagreeing🙄 This guy is spot on. Love watching your content gentlemen.
I am a middle-aged white single father. Nothing about my life has ever been easy or privileged. I have experienced direct racism more times than I can count. It baffles me that someone I have never met before, who doesn't know me, and nothing about my past can hate me for shit that happened before I was alive and tell me that their hardships are because of people like me.
Another self proclaimed "white" person. When you look in the mirror and self claim some color based on your melanin count...YOU ARE CREATIN RACISM. Cmon people!!! Get over yourselves, take a step back, we are all HUMANS. We all hold the mantle of mankind and ALL of its FAULTS and ACOMPLISHMENTS. Quit CHOOSING a color and honor your ancestors.
As a white person I've actually been asked if I feel guilty about slavery. I told them NO, why should I feel guilty about something I didn't do, didn't participate in, or benefit from, directly, or indirectly and that happened 100's of years BEFORE my birth. To the best of my knowledge no one in my family ever even owned any slaves. I regret that slavery happened, it was a horrible thing, it's also a horrible thing to try and make someone feel like crap over something that happened that they did NOT participate in. Also what about the WHITE abolitionists who risked their lives to get blacks from the south, and up north? Isn't it just time we move on and deal with people on a person to person basis and judge them for who they are as individuals regardless of skin color? I've met good white people, good black people, crappy white people, and crappy black people.
I'm a middle-aged Latina Woman from the US, and trust me; I wish many While males in the USA Stop treating me, and looking at me, like I am still their Slave back in the 1700s. But they cannot help themselves!!!
Stats show that you have an easier time getting hired with a high school diploma then a black man with a degree. Please educate yourself before acting like everyone starts of on the same level. Many people of color are in your shoes so imagine how much harder they have it when racism comes into play.
Amen I work eighty four Hours a week so when I hear this young generation talk about. You guys have white privilege where was that sign up sheet I missed that I have never had anything handed to me
I am a 60 yr old white female and this made me cry. Not because of the obvious prejudices, but because of what this is doing to this country as a whole. To all of us no matter race, gender, religion etc. We are being divided by the very people who are supposed to represent us. The real oppressors are the ones who keep fueling the flames to hide what their true agendas are. Basically divide and conquer.
He said on one side of the aisle POC have more power meaning in the liberal circles POC have more power. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing I’m just clarifying what he said.
I remember when "racism" was being used again some time in the late 2000s and I was like, "I thought we were past this and that we were all getting along now?" It definitely got escalated I feel when the media started covering police brutality when it involved a white police officer and a black person. Obama certainly didn't help matters with his speeches over these issues and I feel alot of politicians did the same and more and more people started blaming each other. I was like, "What happened to treating others as you would treat yourself? We're all people right? We all share the same world and the same sky right?" It's really sad.
Thank you gentlemen! I taught secondary school for 17 years and it was always my goal to pop “racial expectation” bubbles, about all races. The first way that happened was when they walked into Spanish class to discover a white-as-snow-teacher speaking Spanish like their abuela. Those days were fun! I was saddened, in a faculty meeting, when one of our assistant principals was talking about a parent accusation of racism toward her and her response to us was, “I’m a Puerto Rican- Nicaraguan- etc.” meaning, she can’t be racist because she’s a Latina. Dr. Maya Angelou said, “Racism is racism, no matter out of whose mouth it comes.” I’m grateful for honest reflection & intelligent discussion. Keep it up!
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. :)
Growing up I was often bullied for white privilege I didn’t have. We were very poor and lived in a mostly Hispanic neighborhood. If it wasn’t for my best friend, who is Puerto Rican, I would have never made it through grade school. Hate is hate no mater what color your skin is, just like love is love. Thank you for reviewing this!
I hear you. I'm not sure why I lost my White privilege. One of my brothers friends growing up in the 90s was black. My dude always came over with the new games and the latest tech. We couldnt afford the stuff so We'd live vicariously through him. We still had the n64 and he brought over the Xbox and we played and had a blast. I didn't think to myself, whats up with my White privilege? Why can't we afford these things? We just hung out and it was what it was. But with the current narrative, I couldn't imagine the racial tension in high school these days...
White privilege means you have an invisible backpack pf resources that not everyone else gets. It doesn’t matter if you’re poor. You’re still viewed as a more trustworthy sbd more important person in society. You’re used to seeing white peoples in your dream job. You’re a blank snare, little to no stereotypes. The only thing poor white communities and (poor and wealthy) black communities is police brutality. In the court system though you’ll still get a mess sentencing unless the hypothetical black person Im comparing you to in this hypothetical situation, is significantly more attractive than you. And that’s in the face of Eurocentric beauty standards too. Black people almost always will receive a higher sentencing in the court system versus white peoples for the same crime/similar type of defendant/similar background. The only time black people might get a lower sentencing is usually due to conventionalatttactivehess. Race and attractiveness play a huge role in sentencing. It’s about who is generally trustworthy in public narratives. White people and attractive people.
It’s true and especially difficult for kids. My son comes home in tears at times saying that the kids at school call him a white monkey, cracker, colonizer, and when he tries to play with them they tell him it’s a no cracker zone (he’s 8). He doesn’t understand why he’s different, or why they’re mean to him, he just wants friends. Racism isn’t innate it’s learned, and kids absorb everything. I was lucky enough to grow up in a diverse area where skin color wasn’t a factor, so watching this change among children is heartbreaking. You know we’ve done something wrong when kids start dividing themselves based on color again.
@@richardshaw3881No! White parents who send their children to Non-White majority schools should be charged with child abuse! Never relax around diversity!
I have been watching you gentlemen for a while now. I do have to say you have become my favorite vlog. You gentlemen are articulate, intelligent, open minded, factual, and you seem to hold each other and yourselves to a standard that I am sad to say is lacking in young men these days! PLEASE keep up the honest good work you gentlemen are doing on here, and I will continue to watch! GOOD JOB MEN!!!
Well that’s a slippery slope cause if they got repercussions for saying that does that mean we should accept and not care when someone gets repercussions for jokes? When it comes to getting repercussions for saying words just replace this instance w movies, music, comedy, podcasts, and whether or not it infringes on freedom of expression whether you agree w it or not. Bc I don’t agree w what they’re saying. But there’s this freedom of speech game that’s constantly played and on both sides the idea of freedom of speech has a lot of “freedom of speech unless it’s something I don’t agree w or doesn’t fall in my morals.” Imo talk all the shit you want. If talk turns into to you committing violence then it becomes a problem.
@@sorryimsosad Freedom of speech means the government won't come after you for what you've said. What op is talking about is being able to say whatever you want with no repercussions because it's "popular and hip". In other words, relativism.
I'm Irish Ukrainian, many of my ancestors were slaves, forced out of our lands by famine and oppression, forced into abject poverty. I've lived in my car, paid my own way through school through hard work and showering at recreation centres. I am not racist in the slightest, I love every decent person I meet, colour does not matter. I am as white as they come, my ancestors were as oppressed as they come. How can my skin colour make me priveleged and racist? How can I be the top dog? My whole life and the life of my ancestors was an uphill climb, people these days are so ignorant and sad.
That is the trouble with the USA, they created their own echo chamber that reaches all of the world, but yet they have very poor knowledge of the past of other countries. Slaves were not ONLY black people. At one point in time every nationallity and race were slaves somewhere. Genocides were made by all skin colours and nations. The focus needs to be on the horrible behaviour not on who did it to whom. But they willfully ignore that because that suites them.
@@petraivic9501 I'm Texan and GenX. Not ALL of us are ignorant of world history. Half our population have a grasp of history and the scary thing is half of our population does not seem to have a clue of any history except a revised and controversial history of the U.S that has historians arguing about accuracy. Education in the 90s went full radical emotions over facts and many of our higher learning is useless at this point because of it. Psychology is a sad joke since the 60s as well
Hold on a minute...which of your ancestors exactly? The Irish were one of the biggest colonisers and slave owners. They colonised Scotland and tried to enslave and entire country. When they got slapped around they moved on to other places. The idea that the Irish were slaves is absolute fabrication. The Irish HAD slaves. The hate for Irish people in the US was simply a personal dislike by other colonisers. The reason why? Because the Irish were dicks long before the colonisation of the US. At no point were they slaves. Not even to the English. That was the Scots and Welsh (mainlanders). It's been debunked time and time again that Irish slaves existed. Stop the narrative.
My grandma is the daughter of an indentured servant (slave). Her mother gave her some advice that she passed down to me. She said *"You don't fight injustice by inflicting more injustice to other people, especially those that had nothing to do it."* I miss my Grandma.
I’m Gen X, and we had this shit solved. We ALL played together, rode together, fought together, cried together, got in trouble and lied together, dated who we WANTED because of who we WERE, never because of what COLOR our skin was. If me and my black friend had a problem, we either talked it out or fought it out, got up and figured it out, and it was NEVER about race. We were EQUAL, the way God made us ALL. This super offended, victim mentality is that NEW shit that was the OLD shit, but for a brief time back in the 80s and 90s, we were ALL FAMILY. We ALL were on that WE shit. When you did see somebody being a racist or saying racist shit, which was rare, THEY were LAUGHED at and labeled an outcast. I grew up like Theo Von, we was all broke and happy. In it TOGETHER.
@@ash1spook it shifted when Obama ran. there are clear graphs showing the massive increase in the words "racist, white supremacist" etc by all of the major media companies in the 2008 era, then higher in 2012, then massive spikes in 2020 and beyond. this all stems from Communists capturing the universities decades ago though. the Soviets openly admitted how they would use identity politics to destroy the US from within. 20% of university professors self identify as Marxists, less than 3% are conservative and the rest are leftists. the Marxist professors have now been teaching for decades and now those adults are in media, major corporations, the military and of course the schools from preschool onward. once you capture the education system you've won, and they achieved that a while ago. the democrat party has been fully captured by the Marxists for a while now. most dems are not communists, they're useful idiots, but a small minority of radical marxists really control the party.
It has less to do with generation and more to do with social media. People back in your day probably felt the same way, but now they have an outlet to speak and find others with the same beliefs.
@@ash1spook Obama fueled the divide. When you always want to be a victim it will look like you are being targeted. They don’t show all the facts in media on purpose because they are controlled by the government and nwo investors
I really enjoy listening to this group of young man. We all need to be talking about these hard topics. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reactions.
You guys are doing Gods work here. Thanks for reminding people that see nothing but the insanity you were watching that normal people still exist and that we can and should unite in rejecting this kind of rhetoric
Okay, with the 22k comments, I loved and gravitated towards yours. This is so true! Thank you for helping me to gain a firm grasp on what I was feeling.
I'm white as snow and I'm a conservative patriot. I have never felt any kind of way about another race right off the bat. I DO NOT CARE what you look like I care what you act like. Everyone around me feels this exact way. You know why? Because we are normal humans. The people in those videos are mentally ill. Period. (love your channel)
If you're a good person, that's all that matters, if you're crap, I'm not going to give you the time of day, one color or another don't make up good or bad, all races have their trash and they have the ones that deserve to be respected
Exactly. I grew up in Texas and I knew a lot of stereotypes aren’t true about growing up here or whites 🤷🏾♀️ Like it’s not that y’all don’t like us, we don’t know each other and everything isn’t offensive. I don’t relate to people up north my color either so it’s not even race most of the time. People just love to be offended I swear ugh
Google geisha hit images and tell me if you are their complexion. You're not white as snow you're pink and your lies about your skin color is 99.9% of the problem.
According to black leaders this is a "white supremacist" country where all white people have privelege....so, does that mean their kids want to identify as white? LOFL.
My grandfather spent 3 years in a concentration camp in Saxenhausen during WW2, and the thought of me criticizing my German friends and their fellow countrymen today for that is just ridiculous. They didn't put my grandfather in that camp, and several of their grandfathers were Nazis back then. It makes me sad that people are so hung up on "taking revenge". Great video, guys! I've had a lot of good and pragmatic conversations about racism with my colored and muslim friends. It's the people who aren't willing to discuss it in an adult manner, and who are just pushing their own agendas to make themselves look better, who are the problem. They are just hollow cowards.
germany has actually owned up to its past. imagine if germans were all online talking about how theyre actually the victims and how the past doesnt mean anything and the current state of things has nothing to do with their actions instead of owning up to it
@@alandavis2809I’m pretty sure my history classes still talk about slavery and the civil rights movement. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t have known anything about this topic.
As a middle aged white woman, thank you for sharing this. I don’t care about color, it’s character that matters. Small minded people blame a whole race for the actions of some.
There is a problem with social media exploding opinions all over the place. Everyone has a platform to speak, and rouse the affections of people who desire to be a part of something without doing the research to fact check these opinions (virtue signaling). It's just social McCarthyism, the witch hunt of the day - racism against straight cis-gendered whites. Human beings, like everything in nature, have the need to respond to every action with an equally forceful reaction. Liberal social consciousness is political first and foremost. And politics survive by finance. These are people parroting the outrage of dead and dying people that can not or will not speak for themselves, ultimately to validate the existence of their office for financial gain. Yet they place the blame at the feet of, not just other dead and dying people, but also at the feet of their children and grandchildren. It's easy to place blame in a high seat in Congress and virtue signal all over social media. It is difficult to go to ground zero and actually do the work that affects change. It is difficult to pass legislation for those who experienced Jim Crow first hand, before they pass on. All of this rabble rousing by people who use the pain of the people for political gain will do nothing but incite another Civil War due to a multitude of strong opinions. Remember this, DJ: Politicians create civil unrest for the purpose of validating their station. Emotion gets votes without having to do any actual work to affect change. Meanwhile your brothers and sisters of various races and cultures are too busy arguing over the scraps of their legislation to notice the two parties shaking hands behind closed doors. Peace and blessings 🙏🏾
I was married up to day my ex wife died 10 years ago to a Oglala Sioux woman i loved her because even though i was disabled and cant work or drive she always treated me as a man. I am white myself but we often jked in a way things worked out well. If America wasnt here when Nazi took over Germany my family would of never migrated here. Also i would of never met her and we fell in love we also need to look at the positives as to what formed our country not the negatives.
I appreciate the discussion. I appreciate the questions, the pushing against ideas to get clarity. Not 100% agreement but everyone willing to keep talking about it.
This is so refrshing! The more open health discussions we have now the less will be needed in the future. We can only be better as humans if we come toether with openess to talk through the difficulties we have.
My sister has adopted the habit of saying that our family is inherently racist and privileged, and we need to defer to other races because we are white. We grew up not knowing where our next meal would come from. How she believes that we are privileged is beyond me.
Same here! I keep asking myself where my white privilege was growing up! my sisters and brothers regularly went hungry, no clothes, no school etc but somehow I’m supposed to be privileged! I think this whole ideology serves to keep people of colour tied up in a victim mindset, thankfully these young men seem to have the potential to be leaders in their communities and not so easily fooled 🙏
Some people of Color are being mean to weak White girls and boys. This people Color are scared to confront strong girls or boys that are White. Many of them know that they can't win a argument with a Republic White or Black.
Any privilege is based on class not race. Negative issues that affect black people affect white people too. Black people aren't stopped from succeeding by racism because Asians are the most successful demographic. Also people wouldn't be trying to migrate to western countries if there was racism.
That's racism for you. It'd stupid of her to say this, thr same way it was stupid to tell the black PhD 80 years ago that he's dumb cus he's black. Your sister has been brainwashed, and yall gotta fix that before she gets used by those in power manipulating her through ideology.
Thanks for sharing this with us. You brought up lots of important themes on top of what the Asian guy brought to the discussion. Plus, you guys crack me up. So, keep up the good work!
As an Asian/Islander, I think the amount of vitriol towards white individuals is growing at an unprecedented rate and it is disgusting how most are accepting and/or welcome it as some sort of “due justice”. Throughout history stronger communities/countries have subjugated and done horrible things to others, regardless of race, simply as a means of power restructuring or to prosper socially/economically. This is a slow burn with a long fuse, but I believe when it ignites, the consequences will mirror the same things we’ve tried to overcome in the past.
... in simple terms it is just HATE. Nothing new here. People of good will, no matter what their background, recognize others of good will. These HATEFUL PEOPLE are just lost in their HATE.
@@danielmarshall3102 you have the most ignorant comment of the day? How do You "Genius" know what race he is by looking at him? You are ignorant. I can clearly see the man is not totally white or is the baby. The disdain you have of white people shined in that comment you had.
Very true. People don't want to work for anything anymore including their friendships and respect. By labeling oneself by race, religion, sexuality, that's instant acceptance to them as opposed to actually getting to know people on an individual level.
🤯 I have never seen this until now. I stumbled across your channel today! As a child I grew up with several different ethnicities in a group home. I was never racist and I never understood how people were. However, now that I am an adult, (in the last 2-3 years) I have been treated like this (extreme white hate) by the people who I once loved and stood up for. I agree with the Good vs Evil, Hate breeds hate, eye for an eye leave the whole world blind; mentality. At the rate we are going we will never see eye to eye and abolish racism and it makes me so sad! You guys are so smart and understood what he was saying! Can’t we all just get along?! If not, the world is going to get ugly quick! Thank you
Yall definitely have good morals and principles, open & willing to talk about a hard topic. I would love yall to watch “if Martin Luther King JR was alive today”
As a white 31 year old straight male. Born and raised in Alabama. I’ve experienced racism my whole life. From all cultures and we ALL know this. Respect is ALL we got. Just look the next man in his eyes and give him the respect he deserves like you deserve it. Shit is simple.
Hi 🙋🏼♀️ Also from Alabama, Birmingham to be exact. My mom is from Paul Alabama (conecuh county) (I spelt that wrong) and my dad is from northport Tuscaloosa. I agree with everything you said. Everything. They’re even more rascist against us; and we DID NOT CHOOSE TO BE BORN SOUTH; we also did not choose to be born white. It’s just trading one thing for another. It’s awful and 100% of it is the internet giving people attention and platforms who have no business getting either.
Born and raised in Alabama. I agree with y'all. I have experienced racism my whole life, I'm a white female. I have been raised to not see color, to be respectful to every person.
I, a Caucasian female, experienced "Racism" for the most part of my life as well. My whole school career pretty much, from like 3rd grade -12th and into my adult working phase of life. I was constantly jumped/beat up for being a white girl in a predominantly black & hispanic' school(s). (😢NOT FUN)"continously picked on for being white in a predominantly black, hispanic & Asian areas we lived in. Thankfully... even tho I went thru some really hurtful, emotionally & physically Era of my life, it did not inhibit any -negative thoughts on views of P.O.C. I love all people, we are only human. 🫶🏼 /.'
I can relate growing up in rural almost completely indigenous almost completely indigenous isolated terms it turns it is like a step back into step back into a time machine you now are you now are the minority and feeling the hate From a place and people and people who could not could not give a s*** they're all about looking after their own " you outsider"
The gov. and the media don't want us to get along, and they already got in the heads of these people. The programming is strong! Love what you guys do.
You Young Men Are Amazing!!! My husband (74) and I (65) watch you all of the time. (BTW … BOTH WHITE). I have never been more proud of you fella’s. We love watching you watch new music and how much you make us laugh and smile as you listen to the music we grew up to (Listening To Michael McDonald Was Pure Joy Watching You Guys Cut Loose) … I ENJOY WATCHING HOW YOU GUYS ARE TAKING TIME TO LEARN, LISTEN AND LOVE. I wish you young men Great Success And Blessings!!! Keep growing and walk in understanding. Hug Your Momma And Daddy … They Did Real Good. ❤️
I just have to compliment you guys on such fair and balanced discussion. There is one thing that many don't see also, and that's that for some, such as the neurodivergent, that are often not even accepted by their own supposed racial group, any kind of prejudice against them is amplified. They are just alone. I'm just catching up on your videos, since I only just came across your channel. Great job.
I believe there’s racism in every colour. I believe there’s love in every colour . I think you guys are great, and you are open to every conversation.. thank you
That's 100 percent true but this is about control and fear and by far, they even did a statistic count on a talk show about this that our race is on top and well it's so obvious and my mom can address more of it as she is far more a better conversationalist then I am about this subject lol. I get depressed enough hearing too much news from her. This is all political too of course. Fear in controlling a race of people is the war going on in the US, it has never stopped. A lot of respect for my race fighting for equality and bigotry as well what goes on in politics.
When you are saying "I don't know about power" I think the best example of the fact that minorities DO have more power is the fact minorities have the ability to speak out against things and actually be heard. It's happening right in front of you; if I, a white man, said all of the stuff Cheon just did, it would likely be buried and many whites will say "thanks, but no one will care." and others would just deem me a racist in some form or fashion. However, when a minority says it, it suddenly has weight. A LOT of weight. Case in point again, the fact that Cheon is saying it, people are listening and white people are thanking him profusely for standing up for them because we aren't allowed to stand up for ourselves. Look in your very comments section, white people are thanking you guys left and right for standing up for us. That includes me - thank you so much! You guys and Cheon will be heard while we will not. That is indeed power that you have that we simply don't.
I'm white, and I say we are all brothers and sisters. No one any better than the other. All are created equal. People are people some good some bad. Let's stop this movement to pit us against each other. Let's build each other up. Piece to you guys and may many blessings abound.
Having no voice equals having less power . White people are constantly told to shut up and listen only . Thank you for speaking up for those who aren’t allowed to speak .
There are good people and bad people in every demographic, but if you don't get to know people on an individual basis without judging them by their race first, then you are missing out on a lot of great people out there. Thank you for your honest discussions about tough topics guys!!
I am a Korean woman, adopted at 3months old by two midwestern caucasian people. I was raised conservative, but taught to be sensitive and empathetic to all races, religions, and political viewpoints. This was in Baltimore, on the Hopkins side… but 23rd was just one stumble over the sidewalk. A lot was learned…There is so much to say in response to this video, but all I need to say is Thank you. You are a group of open minded, intelligent young men, all while being entertaining and respectful. I am so glad to have found your videos. Keep it up and look forward to more!
See, this should be the most telling part of it all for some of these lunatics. When accepting people for the content of their character, regardless of what they look like is the conservative view, where else is there to go in the name of “progress”? Because then it just loops back around to where it started
As a white GenX kid, I grew up in the 70s-80s regularly hearing MLK's message "Content of Character over Color of Skin" but, now the opposite of his message is what all the kids are hearing... I'm speechless, that message will destroy every society given the chance!
Isn't it crazy watching it happen just hatred all over again just in another tip when society worked so hard to be more selfless, kind and loving in the past. It was in the movies, the music, the culture, and society at large. It is difficult to try and explain to the younger generations because like they even said "he didn't even notice it" which to me is a little crazy how blatant it has been especially over the past 7 or so years.
As a 42 year old white man I get tired of hearing (mainly the news) how I’m a racist, I have white Privilege. I sure wish more people could speak and communicate their beliefs AND LISTEN like you young men are doing. It’s really nice to hear. God bless you all!
I'm white passing, which essentially means I am white. I say that, to give context to this statement. If you don't think you have white privilege, you are mistaken about what white privilege is. You may have suffered immeasurably throughout your life, but you endured that suffering while being white. Which meant you were more likely to get a loan, get a job, get a warning when and if you got pulled over. You were not automatically a suspect in every crime that some other random white person committed in your neighborhood. You were not assumed to be armed and combative when interacting with police. You were less likely to face maximum sentencing if you were found guilty of a crime. You were less likely to be stopped and frisked. You were not subject to laws against congregating in groups in public (yes, such laws exist) doing perfectly legal activities. While all of the "more likely" and "less likely" doesn't mean you would never be subject to any of those things, the fact remains that statistically, you would have been more likely to have a positive experience than a person of color. It doesn't take away from what you've endured to acknowledge that simply being white does indeed confer a privilege in America.
@@NaptownClassic I would argue the idea of white privilege is inherently racist. You are essentially saying it is superior to be white as you would have an advantage based upon your skin color. That is what racism is, the belief that someone of a certain ethnicity is superior to another.
Hatred is taught!! HOLD AN INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS. I'm white and have experienced exclusion and insults based on color, many times. I've never excluded or insulted ANYONE based on color. I'm glad these guys at least listened and thought this through. Maybe they'll see it now that they are looking with opened eyes.
Again…I know that there are racist white people in existence but I would like to say that as a 47 yo white female born and raised in Texas and I have NEVER in my life seen white people take time out of their day to do or even plot harm against any other race. Again, not saying it doesn’t exist, this is just my personal experience.
Perhaps you have never insulted or excluded anyone based on colour, but have you ever bothered to learn colonial history? Have you bothered to listen to people of different ethnic communities share their struggles? Have you protested with minorities to support their rights? What most white people entirely fail to understand is that they think not being a racist asshole means "I'm a good person". When you grow up and live in a society that revolves around white culture, white history, white controlled governments and media, you don't learn about the history and culture that has been erased. You remain ignorant and uneducated. You inadvertently harm the BIPOC around you with this ignorance and have no understanding of why. You still uphold systems that oppress minorities and don't help fight it. You don't use your position in society to raise your voice to the oppressors. How does that make you a good person? The world we live in is horribly unfair and unjust. Silence and ignoring problems is not a marker of a good person.
@ judigrumm, can I ask, what your last sentence means (to you)? Something might've went over my head? But, I do agree, and can relate, to the first part of your comment.
Hatred isn't taught, it's learned. We shove love and tolerance down kids' throats their entire lives, yet by the time they reach middle age, plenty of them have simply become fed up with pretending that equality of races is anything other than a polite fiction made up by white people to be nice. The best way to make people hate immigrants is to keep importing them.
Same, I grew up where I was the minority and being white was not something the other kids found acceptable. They made that very clear. They insulted and harassed the white girls, implying were honour less cheap pr*stitutes. The white boys were seen as weak and beaten up and robbed all the time. We were seen and treated as inferior. Despite being an ethnic native in my country, I was treated like I had no right to live here. They saw the area as theirs. And still do.
As a latina woman, who grew up in south America, I find kind of "fascinating" how much Americans are obsessed with race. I like watching your videos to learn this perspective and why is such a topic. Hopefully this will end one day and people can live without worrying about something that they cannot change. Thanks for all the videos!
a video suggestion for you would be bad empanada's how racism was created, it was made by the spanish, but it is something we have now that we unfortunately can't ignore in this day and age.
@@waterdragon2.08 Thank you for the suggestion, I will take a look! Yes it is something to talk about. I'm just now learning so much about it that I moved to Europe with my indian husband and learning from their experiences outside India. In latinamerica its more common to discriminate someone based on income or nationality, which I know is horrible, but not much about the race, so I have to learn this stuff too! Thanks again.
@@waterdragon2.08 It wasn't made by the Spanish, racism is part of a phenomenon called "Tribalism", which basically consists in considering those Like you as "inferior", and It has happened in every single culture in the World, for different reasons: Religion, physical appeareance, gender, sexual orientation, ideology...
People of color are told they don't have power, and cannot achieve it due to white people; white people are told they're the problem, even though they just want to live too. It's all part of the plan. This will lead to the downfall of America and those that go along with it, are just ignorant as hell to what is happening.
More power? Probably not, but it largely depends on what power means. The definition of power is so variable that it becomes an issue in these discussions. However, I wanted to say, gentlemen, thank you for having honest conversations and listening to what people on multiple sides have to say with good will. Whether I would always agree with you or not, I will always respect you, and it is only with more people like you that our world will improve.
The world has made me out to be a villain and all I'm doing is existing... Thank you guys for being open minded and understanding... makes my heart happy.
People might think this is only happening in media and stuff, but I have been experiencing racial hatred since high school. One of the first interactions I had with a black person (outside of my family) was a friend of my friend and she would only refer to me as "little racist white girl" and assumed my family to be racist because I lived in the country and wasn't a city dweller. Our first interaction went somewhat like this, "HI, I am ----! Nice to meet you." And she responded with, "Yeah, a little racist white girl from the country," with no hesitation at all. During my time in university, in my creative writing class, I wrote a poem about my favorite cousin who happens to be mixed-black. My extremely liberal professor and other students in the class called me out for being racist. Saying I only favored him because of his skin color. I dropped that class because of that situation. Everything in the poem got thrown out when I explained his features and that was what labeled me. I asked my brother who is mixed (caucasian and island Indian) and my cousin who is mixed (caucasian and black) and they saw nothing wrong with my poem. In my first year of college, a girl told me that I wasn't allowed to wear braids (I was wearing a French braid during this interaction) because I was white. That braids were a black American and African style and I shouldn't be stealing from other cultures. Two naive black guys called me a "Racist white bitch" because they were trying to get a dog's attention in the college library. The dog is a service dog and the service dog owner looked extremely uncomfortable. They were in one of my classes, so I knew they suffered from a list of things, especially major anxiety, and antisocial personality. I decided to intervene, politely saying "You shouldn't bother service dogs when they are working," and I received negative behavior. I think they were embarrassed for not completely understanding what a service dog was and when they were confronted they didn't know how to handle it. A few semesters ago, I met a slightly younger guy who was in charge of the black American group at my university. He was the president. He would speak about how he thinks schools should be segregated to give blacks leeway to opportunities and so on. He believed this was an answer for opportunities in school because he was glad that he barely had any white people in his school growing up because they would have stole opportunities from him otherwise. He actually fought and won for there to be only black people and minorities safe places on campus where white people were not allowed to be at all (no entry for whites or whites not allowed on the sign). He was the leader of 3 clubs and all of those clubs did not allow white people to be a part of them. These stories were not to support a narrative of us versus them or individually an I versus them narrative. These stories are to show when you are raised without knowledge of certain things and jump to assumptions, divides can happen. For example, that creative writing class with a poem. There were no black students or other students of color in that class. Everyone was white. I was the only one that had a family that was non-white. My cousin is mixed and is marrying a woman from Africa. My cousin is Caucasian and his children are mixed Latinos. My other cousin is engaged to a woman from the Philippines. My other cousin has married an Asian American. My brother is mixed of Caucasian and island Indian (his grandmother on his father's side is Jamaican and lives on the islands). I grew up in a decently diverse family that showed everyone positivity and love no matter their skin color, background, or social class. I was raised that we are all human. We all make mistakes. We all bleed. We all have emotions. It's odd to see how some people rip humanity out of others based on skin color or gender. Out of things they could not control.
Sorry to hear you've gone through that. Just focus on your own lot, us individuals are not very impactful on the general direction of things. Best to forgive and put it behind you. Find a husband with a good heart, show him what love means, raise beautiful children. You will find peace in this. Unfortunately things are going to get worse before they get better, there's a coming pendulum swing that will foster a slightly less extreme white identitarian movement. Best to pick a white husband in case things get bad, as when it happens it will be sudden. Wish you well from rural Australia, we're facing the same **** over here but with Aboriginals and indian / Chinese immigrants at our universities.
First line gonna say, "lived in the country and wasn't a city dweller" in my opinion, CITIES are the problem with racism. Racism, criminal activity, selfishness, all these things seem to be more prominent in cities. Financial issues tend to be even bigger in cities as well, with most political ideas being represented by the cities. I live in New York State. I feel like nothing I say here matters because the city is so huge and they know their way of life and how they're treated there, but they don't think much of how vastly different people can act as well as their needs are depending on their location. I live in a small town, and this place was very safe until people from the city moved here during the pandemic, then we even had a bomb issue. I can't walk outside at night anymore. It's the social environments being held in the cities that seem to be the biggest issues. (Of course there are issues with some places in countries too, but I do feel that cities play a big role as well)
R there some foxes who really wish that we hate each other between races . Just don't fallow their patch ! So that it will not be necessary for anyone to fall into their own pit created for the other . ( Imagine the labyrinth with hatches ! )
Thank y'all. Prejudice towards me annoys me, but I'm a big boy and move on with life. But I've got niece's and nephews. No little kid regardless of skin color deserves hate.
It annoys you but you move on with your life. That's the point the Asian chick was making... Prejudice towards you as a white person is nothing more than an annoyance and you can go about your day. Prejudice against a black person *IS RACISM* because it means, - Denial of a Mortgage Loan - Denial of Apartment Rental - Denial of a job - Told what bathrooms you can use - Told where to sit on the bus - Weaponized the Police against you -(which has a whole other list under it of what that then can lead too)_ - Which schools you go to _ie_ what kind of education you get - Where you live - What you eat *... Etc .... Etc ...*
You're wrong. You're not a big boy. A big boy doesn't move on and ignore things. A big boy stands up and does what's right for the greater good. Stop being a beta male. Address the issue do what's right. Soon your race will no longer exist. You'll be at the bottom. You don't see what's going on with the liberal government right now? They want to wipe out the entire white culture, Race, White everything. You better wake up boy.
I’m as White as they come. I was literally crying as I watched this. I’ve never associated with racist people. I have ancestors who died in the civil war fighting for the north. The best man at my parents wedding is a black man who has been their friend for almost fifty years. I’ve had close black, Hispanic and Asian friends my entire life. To hear that there are people who hate, I mean really really hate me, my family and other people like me, good people, because of our color…..I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I was raised when everyone seemed to understand that that was evil. Racism doesn’t cure racism. And it certainly doesn’t change the past. Please, everyone, teach everyone, your children, your friends, that this is wrong. We are all Americans. That’s it. We are all on the same team. Please.
Where have you been? Its being broadcast everyday with the stupidity of anti white teaching in schools across America, racist government policies, the knockout game etc. Its been front an center way before this video.
READ SOME OF THE STUFF I PUT ABOVE. SMH... I'M WHITE INNER CITY, SUFFERING, DYING, ANGRY NOW. FEELING SO MAD. MY FAMILY WAS IN U.S.S INDIANAPOLIS. ALL MY GRANDPARENTS AND FAMILY DIED. NEARLY ALL OF THEM. I HAVE ONE DAUGHTER LEFT AND A BLACK SON. I call my BLACK SIS JUST THAT SIS AND MY BLACK MOMMA JUST THAT MOMMA SINCE I was 14 years old when my bio mothers men got finished with me. By 17 I've suffered EVERY evil crime you can imagine mentally and left for dead. OVER HATE. Called wigger all my life. Little did they know BLACK CULTURE is actually WHITE CULTURE carried over. Just whites ended up investing over time in savings and houses. Wanting better except poor whites like me suffering from this crap fully disabled now and nothing. I'm feeling so angry for the FIRST TIME in my life at black people. Like RAGE but I'm seeing what is being FULLY SILENCED. I DO MEAN FULLY....IT'S SO SADISTICALLY EVIL WHAT IS GOING ON TO WHITES BUT WHITE KIDS....I PUT A 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE GROUND HANGING TO YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE....MY OTHER DAUGHTER JUST ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND IS FIGHTING TO LIVE. LONG TERM CARE FOR LIFE.. LEFT MORE ABOVE. BE SAFE.
I can guarantee all your black and Asian etc friends while still friendly with you, still had some sort of feeling of community among their own people too though. White people go beyond just "dont treat people bad for their ra ce" and they end up being the only people in the world, literally, that don't even have a sense of belonging to their own kind, but it's something that only started recently. Stop the "I don't see color" thing, I'm not saying treat anyone bad but White people need to learn again to have some sort of community sense like every other ra ce of people in the world do though. Because it has only gotten to this point *because* Whi te people are largely opposed to or are afraid of having this same in group preference that all others besides us have. There is such a thing as being too individualistic.
The funniest part about others calling me a "colonizer" is that there are no actual colonizers or slave owners in my bloodline. My ancestors all come from Switzerland and immigrated to the US in the early 1900s. My ancestors had nothing to do with colonization or slavery but they still assume I'm one because I'm pasty white!
I get the same treatment, yet my Mother's parents immigrated from Bohemia and on my Dad's father was French and his mother was full-blooded Mohawk Indian. How am I responsible for slavery????
Eh I never liked when people try to get out of being called a colonizer because your relatives weren't here until all of the fighting was done. Let me ask, did your family ask permission of the Natives to move here? Colonizing is just having people from one country settle on land in another country usually by displacing another group. You're complicit in the takeover. And I am not some wokey. I just cannot swallow the whole "my people weren't around back then" narrative. Maybe not but they don't mind benefitting from the current situation. At least we were born into this circumstance. Immigrants say "colonizer" to us as they unpack their boxes. They chose to come here.
What a relief to watch this video, I lost my ex-girlfriend, my friends, and was disowned from my family for mentioning this experience I've had personally on multiple occasions. Now I'm not painting myself a victim I honestly don't give a shit how people perceive me. I'm just sayin people don't like how the truth feels in their britches.
Your first opening remarks resonated with me. As a teen in the 80’s we were taught to ignore a person’s race, that it was their integrity and character that mattered. Ffwd 20ish years, now someone’s race is the only thing that matters? Really? We haven’t gone very far. Dr. King would be ashamed of all of us. It’s about courtesy and respect, no matter where you fall in the color wheel, nor in the socioeconomic spectrum, we can all do better.
I agree, I grew up in the 80's with a very diverse society and it didn't matter what race people were. I was friends with people of so many nationalities and we didn't care. All we cared about was the moral character of the people we were friends with. I am even married to a black man, with no second thought about race. We just love each other. It's so disheartening that things have reversed course in this country. College even got my daughter to tell me "maybe your ancestors lived a simple life but my ancestors were oppressed. They don't have the privilege of simplicity " broke my heart.
Those days are gone. Our own govt has put a bullseye on the back of the White Christian man and the Democrats are willing to start WW3 to make sure a bunch die. We're expected to go fight White Russians just to come home and be told our lives don't matter. Just go fight so these illegal invaders can sit in their free housing and wave their countries flags all over America
This is sadly true, growing up as a white girl I was made to feel bad. I was told I have no culture because I'm white, which is far from true and I've dived fully into my ancestors. I always thought if I didn't have some color dna I had no good past, no culture other than brutality etc. I see people of color daily that make comments that would have me ruined. I grew up dirt poor with no advantage, I made myself into something instead. It's good to see you guys and officer Tatum who are open eyed.
Naw "white" people have lots of culture. Its Jooish people who have no real culture. They stole most of their cultural rites from other people in Mesopotamia.
I share your story. And agree completely. Raised two wonderful white people who live all people. They don't have the right idea on borders but the melting pot they got that. We still get comments about no culture .. except appropriation 😮
Another great Historian is Dontell Jackson, with even more truth about slavery than Thomas Sowell, you will be very surprised where this manipulation came frome... ua-cam.com/video/dfrlYXcI2v8/v-deo.html
We have to change our preconceived perspectives about all people. Guess what-- we are all unique & special regardless... we must learn how to communicate with each other. I grew up in the 60s in a town of 300 ppl in Kansas. I was never taught prejudices or hate. I never saw a person of color until I was 12. I had never heard a cus word or taught fear of others. I still have that perspective to this day. I just don't understand this constant fight that is so destructive & it's constant perpetuation...❤love you all & pray for a better way for all of God's people 🙏 ❤
This is the first time I’ve seen a video like this. It gives me a little hope. Because honestly it’s getting to the point where I just assume everyone hates me and thinks I’m benefitting while being unaware of my privilege. I grew up living most of my childhood in a trailer park, all my jobs have been service jobs, providing services to other humans, some of which would treat me as a lesser human for working those types of jobs. The fact that ppl still think they know anything about you based solely on your looks is fucking insane
As a light skinned mixed person, I can attest to the fact that I've been discriminated and made to feel less because of my lightness more than I have ever been discriminated against for being POC. I don't think I've been able to fully articulate the self-hatred and shame I've felt about my lightness- but it runs deep
Really enjoyed the open-mindedness of the video. One thing that yall kept bringing up was something I've seen in my life that I would encourage yall to think about. I've had black people in my classes come up and call me names like q tip and cracker, and threaten to beat me up because they know that my school would take a person of color's side over the "racist" white kid. I've also seen in colleges that now there is a quota that college's have to take in people of color, in order to make their campuses more diverse. These things along with other issues is where I would argue that people of color do have more abilities than white people. Overall though, I don't consider it to be a huge problem in my life, only minor inconveniences, but I just want to voice my opinion in hopes that this problem doesn't continue to get worse.
hey boys... I appreciate you. although it sucks we are strong. Our history, humor and love for all cultures have prepared us for this. we were immune, but it's wearing off. Seeing videos like this, seeing guys like you being human and seeing us as just humans... makes me smile and gives me hope. Thank you.
me too! I grew up in a time when, at school, they taught us to watch out for things like this and to watch out for when governments take your freedom and now all this stuff we were warned about is happening and now one seems to care
As an asian american, I've had so much racism from whites and blacks equally growing up. The easiest way to deal with this is treat everyone regardless of color with love, love defeats all. I really appreciated hearing yalls social intelligence and reaction to this video. You gained a subscriber!
Ay brother, I'm sorry to hear you've had to go through that bullshit. You're doing it right though, fuck those kinds of people, but I hope you never to hesitate to knock a motherfucker out if they overstep
@@jenovamoney3232 blacks shoot and murder each other more than any group. You know what the most spoken word is before the trigger is pulled? Hint: it rhymes with “trigger.”
The ignorance is devastating. Absolutely breaks my heart to see so many young people with these views of Division and hatred. I want to send my love to all of humanity. We are all from earth and just trying to survive. Unity and peace to all. ❤
Thank you for having this conversation. I’m in my late 50’s and remember a brief moment 80’s&90’s where I had friends from all races without it being an issue. I even have a mixed race daughter. In the last 10 years, I have been screamed at at work, my professional license has been threatened and women and men of color have created a hostile environment. Is it motivated by race? Yes. I was told that my presence is offensive, that Ian responsible for the enslaved blacks. (Even though my ancestors immigrated to the US after the civil war.). My daughter tells me it’s because of my white privilege that I am unable to understand where these folk are coming from. But I remember when, in my lifetime, that people were not judged by their race and most people worked together to stamp out the racism that was there.
Same, I grew up in a multicultural city and my friends were from everywhere! We were more including in the 1990s and early 2000s. There was even no nepotism judgement, I had rich friends and friends that came from nothing! Life was great. Married a wonderful north African guy and never even thought 🤔 hhmmm what about the melanin? 🤦🏼♀️
@@emilycampbell5798 That's soo racist 😜 to forget the melanin is to deny who your husband is.. Didn't u know? We're based on skin color now, not content of character. JK!!! Much love to U and Urs. Don't change 💗
My ancestors were from Ireland and were sold to other whites as indentured servants, others fought with the North to end Slavery, were a part of the underground railroad. I've been grouped into the same people as hate groups and had racial slurs screamed at me, been spit on because I'm white and accused of having this white privilege that I've never experienced. Racism of any degree is 1000% WRONG. Thank you for your candid opinions and feelings guys, we NEEED more HONEST opinions like this. Love yall 💜💜
Your ancestors are from Africa and had high melanin counts just like EVERYONE EVERYWHERE! Why do people pick some erroneous time frame to claim where their ancestors are from? We all have a common ancestor...we are all African.
Same here 100 percent Irish. Didn't immigrate until 1989. Some of my People are still slaves, when I have pointed that out to poc. Or others, I'm atonal attacked and told that it doesn't matter I could never understand because I have it so great because I'm show.. did you know there are more famous, powerful, rich black people in the United States than any other race? United negro college fund for blacks only, black history month, affirmative action and countless more Rediculous things. There is a whole lot of Privilege going on and it's definitely not white. No matter what you give, it will never be enough.. EVER. We have all seen the effects of free shit.. just makes demands for more free shit. I love all people and it's only a very small few that are stoking this nonsense...smgdh
The Irish Catholics were not "indentured servants". History records that they were the first to be brought to America in chains, and sold as property. They arrived in ships 10 years before any ship arrived from Africa with Africans. The same ships, the same chains. When African slaves started arriving, the traders then released a lot of the Irish slaves, but they then became indentured servants with very little opportunities to improve their lives, and were considered second class citizens at best. That attitude prevails in the Protestant dominated America even today regarding Catholics. When John F. Kennedy was running for President, many cried that having an Irish Catholic President would be the end of America. The same type of people years later said the same about Obama. We know intolerance. We know hatred.
Loved this. At the end of the day all people are human, have the same feelings, needs and wants. The bible says do unto others as you would do unto them . Love thy neighbor. I think we all should give people a chance if they come into your space and then decide on how you interact and how they interact. Leave race and skin color out of it. You guys impressed me how you were listening to the man in the video and had a good discussion about what he was saying. It shows your intelligence and humanity. Something we all forget at times.
I'm a white woman and I bring my children up to judge people on their actions and merits, not on their skin colour, religious beliefs or denominations. Not every person sees the colour of someones skin, but what's inside them. Love your videos guys, keep it up. 😊
Prejedice is taught, I didn't teach my kids to be that way. Our body is the vessel our soul or spirit occupies. We are all the same on the inside. God sees us all the same.
We weren’t United when they had power over black folks now that we’re waking up and attempting to rebuild black Wall Street and the African American community, we need to nice but the powers that be literally took everything from us and fed us scraps ! Yet we shouldn’t be racist and be mad 😡 gtfo
This isn't an "america only" thing, Europe is also witnessing this type of shit and we're in our own countries. We never should have let immigrants in, simple as that.
Watching these kind of videos hurts, makes me think that this world is too far gone and but reading these comments you guys give me hope that most of us want to live in peace and acceptance not, hate
It makes me emotional to see a man who is not of the same skin tone as me, affirm so many of the thoughts and emotions that I have been feeling that I am not allowed to express.
I got accused of being racist once when I was like 19 or 20 and it still eats at me. I was hostessing at Chili's and one of the waitresses came in and said she was clocked in and ready to take tables. So the next couple that came in, I sat in her section. They went and got the manager and told him that I sat them in a back section because they were black. I have no idea why they thought that. I have never done anything like that and have nothing to do with whatever racist ancestors might be in my past. I didn't choose to be a heterosexual, white woman. I was just born that way
im a white, straight man from Poland, and I am a metalhead. when i watched your rock/metal reaction videos, i authomactly liked you, but man, when i watched this video i love you all. there is no racial thing to be a mean person. when people are mean they are scumbags and literally walking douche, no matter how they name is Karen or Shaniqua, Tyrone or Jimbob (i hope i type it correctly)
I'm not really sure if American's consider Polish people 'white' which was always funny to me, as we are kind of grouped up into the slavic demographic and some consider that to be minorities lol
@@Kuroganemk2 Sadly in America if you have white skin, no matter your ancestry, you are white. 😔 I am a mix of everything. I have Irish, Polish, Norwegian, Scottish, Native American and German ancestry. And despite that my family was actually brought over as Irish slaves and never owned any slaves themselves, just because I have white skin I am considered to be a WHITE OPRESSOR. It's absolutely ridiculous how our country treats race. Everyone is human, why can't we all live in peace together? 😔

i’m white, i have blond hair & blue eyes, and i really don’t care what anybody thinks of me, i just live my life and try to be honest and do what i can to survive - if people think im racist or priveleged just because i’m white, then that’s on them, not me love the channel you guys are great 👍
I'm indigenous European..I live in rural America. I always say..can't see the bullshit from my house😂 I don't care what morons say; they can call me racist all day. I don't notice.
I really believe that if a person wants to succeed they will, once they get their mind focused on what they have to do, the big problem I see a lot of individuals having is that they are scatterbrained and not focused this is what keeps them down
Divide and conquer! Everyone is a Divine being with a different perspective. We need to find unity in this diversity. Humanity is one. Open your heart and be the being of Love that you truly are. Love and light to all. Namaste

"We're not dealing with racism anymore but with evil vs good" I completely agree with that.
I am mulling many points over but the one thing I would distill from this video is that being an asshole is not exclusive domain of any one skin color, etc. Anybody can be an asshole. The video covers this in a different fashion but it's true, being an asshole is an attribute anybody can have regardless of race, gender, whatever.
This true, as a Christian I see the end times getting closer and closer. Tik tok is made by Satan and all these young youth are getting sucked in to the hole. Hell is real and believe me it will be full of young youth like these girls.

@Time Travelling Prototype, We still need to call such people what they are (racists) no matter how much universities and “activists” in the past half a decade have tried to change the definition of racism to fit their agenda from what it previously was since the beginning of its creation that they’ve now assigned as to a much milder term and definition “prejudice”, which again, was not the original definition or separate. Calling such bad people “assholes” is putting it nicely.
Thank you gentlemen. As a white person raised in a blue collar family. Watching my family members destroy themselves in the unrelenting stress of poverty, lack of education this whole “privileged” word has left me scratching my head.
Ok what you're saying... But, white privilege is different than falling on hard time or struggling. White ppl don't get racially profiled by cops most of the time. White ppl aren't automatically thought of as bad ppl, u less the person has done something 1st. White ppl are t watched at stores 1/2 as much as colored folks. That's what they're talking about about.
@@kara_30the whole purpose of the video was saying that white people are literally seen as bad people by the majority of society without even doing anything. And I agree that watching black people at stores extra hard is wrong but it is true that black people are convicted of shoplifting, theft, armed robbery, and breaking n entering more than any other race. But that’s not a race thing, it’s just an socio economic thing. Black people aren’t inherently bad and most everyone believes that. White people arent inherently bad but most people see white people as bad people without even talking to them. Just look at the facts and be the kindest person you can be inside your head and speaking. If everyone did this we would live in a society filled with respect and love for one me another
“It’s not a race thing it’s a socioeconomic thing” bro why do you think cops are always intentionally put in black neighborhoods. Black men are only around 6% of the population but like 50% of prisoners. Have you never heard of redlining, the crack epidemic made by our own government to disenfranchise people of color. What an ignorant take
@@kara_30 I'm 9/11 brown. If you follow the law or the cop's instructions, you won't be racially profiled. If you kept your own people in check and shamed them for being violent thugs so they wouldn't go around attacking everybody and everything then the police wouldn't have to worry about them doing dumb shit. The last couple of years unarmed, black deaths in the US were negligible. It's always some violent thug not wanting to face the consequences for his actions.
@@kara_30 This entire video proves how youre completely wrong. How did you watch the video then feel that this was appropriately said? That is kind of crazy honestly.

In America, politicizing racism is the best way to keep people divided and is the strategy used by the elites to maintain power.
You’re talking to rocks and tree, branches for brains, saying the same thing and comments time after time will amount to nothing.

True
Exactly. If you collect 100 black ants and 100 red ants and put them in a glass jar nothing will happen, but if you take the jar, shake it violently and leave it on the table, the ants will start killing each other. Reds believe that black is the enemy while black believes that red is the enemy when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar.

We live in such a bad time, my mom taught me to look at everyday as if they was all the same skin color and I still see it like that till this day, I’m not going to let this woke agenda change my mind cuz it’s the truth, never looked at race, color or anything. Like this hatred doesn’t benefit nothing and plus being this is such a SHORT life to invest time into these things😂
They’re all black . And why do yall act like white people aren’t racist ?
My grandfather was born on the reservation and he told me they had slaves from other tribes. We are all sinners and need to live together as one in God. We must get our Christian brothers and sisters back together and love one another. Why are we doing this to one another? Evil is here and knocking at our doors.
Amen. Christ is king
Yes !
5 Native American Tribes owned African slaves and Also enslaved other Tribes
Your acting like Christian’s weren’t the ones in white cloaks burning people at the stake on there lawns and throwing women in rivers to see if they would sink or swim. Religion literally makes war and division worse.
Bruh
I was born a sinner but I will not pay for the sins of my distant fathers. They are not mine. I did not inherit them.
Given, none of my ancestors were slave owners, they were kicked around and out of Europe.
It's the "black people can't be racist" that gets on my nerves. Every single race, Ethnicity, Nationality, shade, sexuality, gender, idfk.... hair type could be racist. Racism is not limited to one type of person, and nobody fits a stereotype 100%

@@spideymatt85 My response to your response to his comment is "huh, sounds like something a racist would say."

@@tarrantwolf how is it racist to say that anyone who discriminates against another person based on race is racist? That is the definition of racism. If you discriminate against someone because they're black, you're racist, if you discriminate against them because they are Asian, you're racist, and if you discriminate against them because they are white... you're racist. Thinking that it doesn't apply to white people doesn't even make sense. Do you think that white people don't have feelings? Do you think that white children should be taught that they are bad because they are white? That's a lot of negative pressure put on these children to take on the guilt of their ancestors for things that they would never do themselves. And most of them weren't even involved in slavery or anything like that. My parents came to Canada the year before I was born but I've been taught to feel guilty because some British colonies in the United States had slaves over a hundred years ago... and they were white, and I'm also white, so I'm guilty too. Should all black people feel guilty because of the Rwandan genocide? It was black people who participated in that, so regardless of which African country they came from or if they grew up in America, should they be held responsible for it on the basis of skin colour? Of course not. Even the direct descendants of those people should not be held accountable for what their parents did.
We are all created equal in the image of God and are all equally loved by him. We all have a common ancestor and are just very very distant cousins who adapted differently to our environments and that effected our skin colour. That's all.
This breaks my heart. I’m Mexican and I cannot imagine being this hateful. I grew up in the 80’s/90’s and things were not like this.
I spent way to long staring at your comment with a mix anger/hurt and my logical side saying you couldn't know and there is no way it's your fault.
I also went to school in the 80s/90s and moved to SO Cal in 89' to a school where there were 5 black kids in my class, me the one white kid, and the rest were Mexican.
Every day I was called names, I'd get jumped before/after school, they'd steal my backpack and throw it in the trash bin, force me to go in after it so they could call me a white trash picker, they shattered my cats jaw by hitting him with a skateboard, I was suicidal through most of my early teens till I eventually dropped out and left home at 16 to live with a 25yo man just to get away from it all. It wasn't the black children that did it, it was the Mexican children.
I'm only saying this so you know it's been that way and at your same timeframe. I'm sure location and being a minority were factors but it did happen.
When I had first moved there I was stupidly optimistic and excited to learn about Mexican culture and stuff, and by the end I ended up with a deep mistrust of Mexicans that lasted into my 20s.
I'm white, blond and blue eyed and grew up in the 80s and 90s and we never had any issues with racism or predudices back then. When I was a teen everyone had their own style weather it be hip hop, punk, goth, grunge, heavy metal fans, skater boys etc but everyone hung out together and had fun. The amount of victim mentality and ignorance in today's society is insane. Young people seem to scream racism or transphobia etc everytime their entitled ass is not the center of the universe. Back in the days we knew we had to work hard to achieve our goals and being kind to people no matter what their style, color, nationality or gender - was the way to go about life. Why are people so damn obsessed about creating divisions? What's that all about????

I am a middle-aged white single father. Nothing about my life has ever been easy or privileged. I have experienced direct racism more times than I can count. It baffles me that someone I have never met before, who doesn't know me, and nothing about my past can hate me for shit that happened before I was alive and tell me that their hardships are because of people like me.
Another self proclaimed "white" person. When you look in the mirror and self claim some color based on your melanin count...YOU ARE CREATIN RACISM. Cmon people!!! Get over yourselves, take a step back, we are all HUMANS. We all hold the mantle of mankind and ALL of its FAULTS and ACOMPLISHMENTS. Quit CHOOSING a color and honor your ancestors.
As a white person I've actually been asked if I feel guilty about slavery. I told them NO, why should I feel guilty about something I didn't do, didn't participate in, or benefit from, directly, or indirectly and that happened 100's of years BEFORE my birth. To the best of my knowledge no one in my family ever even owned any slaves. I regret that slavery happened, it was a horrible thing, it's also a horrible thing to try and make someone feel like crap over something that happened that they did NOT participate in. Also what about the WHITE abolitionists who risked their lives to get blacks from the south, and up north?
Isn't it just time we move on and deal with people on a person to person basis and judge them for who they are as individuals regardless of skin color? I've met good white people, good black people, crappy white people, and crappy black people.
I'm a middle-aged Latina Woman from the US, and trust me; I wish many While males in the USA Stop treating me, and looking at me, like I am still their Slave back in the 1700s. But they cannot help themselves!!!

@@rickpratt5115 ain't that the truth
I remember when "racism" was being used again some time in the late 2000s and I was like, "I thought we were past this and that we were all getting along now?" It definitely got escalated I feel when the media started covering police brutality when it involved a white police officer and a black person. Obama certainly didn't help matters with his speeches over these issues and I feel alot of politicians did the same and more and more people started blaming each other. I was like, "What happened to treating others as you would treat yourself? We're all people right? We all share the same world and the same sky right?" It's really sad.
Thank you gentlemen! I taught secondary school for 17 years and it was always my goal to pop “racial expectation” bubbles, about all races. The first way that happened was when they walked into Spanish class to discover a white-as-snow-teacher speaking Spanish like their abuela. Those days were fun!
I was saddened, in a faculty meeting, when one of our assistant principals was talking about a parent accusation of racism toward her and her response to us was, “I’m a Puerto Rican- Nicaraguan- etc.” meaning, she can’t be racist because she’s a Latina. Dr. Maya Angelou said, “Racism is racism, no matter out of whose mouth it comes.”
I’m grateful for honest reflection & intelligent discussion. Keep it up!

I hear you. I'm not sure why I lost my White privilege. One of my brothers friends growing up in the 90s was black. My dude always came over with the new games and the latest tech. We couldnt afford the stuff so We'd live vicariously through him. We still had the n64 and he brought over the Xbox and we played and had a blast. I didn't think to myself, whats up with my White privilege? Why can't we afford these things? We just hung out and it was what it was. But with the current narrative, I couldn't imagine the racial tension in high school these days...
White privilege isn’t about having money…,
White privilege means you have an invisible backpack pf resources that not everyone else gets. It doesn’t matter if you’re poor. You’re still viewed as a more trustworthy sbd more important person in society. You’re used to seeing white peoples in your dream job. You’re a blank snare, little to no stereotypes. The only thing poor white communities and (poor and wealthy) black communities is police brutality. In the court system though you’ll still get a mess sentencing unless the hypothetical black person Im comparing you to in this hypothetical situation, is significantly more attractive than you. And that’s in the face of Eurocentric beauty standards too.
Black people almost always will receive a higher sentencing in the court system versus white peoples for the same crime/similar type of defendant/similar background. The only time black people might get a lower sentencing is usually due to conventionalatttactivehess. Race and attractiveness play a huge role in sentencing. It’s about who is generally trustworthy in public narratives. White people and attractive people.

I'm Irish Ukrainian, many of my ancestors were slaves, forced out of our lands by famine and oppression, forced into abject poverty. I've lived in my car, paid my own way through school through hard work and showering at recreation centres. I am not racist in the slightest, I love every decent person I meet, colour does not matter. I am as white as they come, my ancestors were as oppressed as they come. How can my skin colour make me priveleged and racist? How can I be the top dog? My whole life and the life of my ancestors was an uphill climb, people these days are so ignorant and sad.
That is the trouble with the USA, they created their own echo chamber that reaches all of the world, but yet they have very poor knowledge of the past of other countries. Slaves were not ONLY black people. At one point in time every nationallity and race were slaves somewhere. Genocides were made by all skin colours and nations. The focus needs to be on the horrible behaviour not on who did it to whom. But they willfully ignore that because that suites them.

the irish in america were indentured servants?
Hold on a minute...which of your ancestors exactly? The Irish were one of the biggest colonisers and slave owners. They colonised Scotland and tried to enslave and entire country. When they got slapped around they moved on to other places.
The idea that the Irish were slaves is absolute fabrication. The Irish HAD slaves. The hate for Irish people in the US was simply a personal dislike by other colonisers. The reason why? Because the Irish were dicks long before the colonisation of the US. At no point were they slaves. Not even to the English. That was the Scots and Welsh (mainlanders).
It's been debunked time and time again that Irish slaves existed. Stop the narrative.

the Soviets openly admitted how they would use identity politics to destroy the US from within. 20% of university professors self identify as Marxists, less than 3% are conservative and the rest are leftists. the Marxist professors have now been teaching for decades and now those adults are in media, major corporations, the military and of course the schools from preschool onward. once you capture the education system you've won, and they achieved that a while ago. the democrat party has been fully captured by the Marxists for a while now. most dems are not communists, they're useful idiots, but a small minority of radical marxists really control the party.

I don’t relate to people up north my color either so it’s not even race most of the time. People just love to be offended I swear ugh
Google geisha hit images and tell me if you are their complexion. You're not white as snow you're pink and your lies about your skin color is 99.9% of the problem.
According to black leaders this is a "white supremacist" country where all white people have privelege....so, does that mean their kids want to identify as white?
LOFL.
Yeah. I've worked on HR too and in all my life I've never seen anyone discriminate against POC. EVER... ever EVER...
I'm glad you gentlemen are posting this to make people aware of what kind of nut bags are out there peace
This was my first video I've watched from your channel. Fantastic! Great presentation and arguments.
My grandfather spent 3 years in a concentration camp in Saxenhausen during WW2, and the thought of me criticizing my German friends and their fellow countrymen today for that is just ridiculous. They didn't put my grandfather in that camp, and several of their grandfathers were Nazis back then. It makes me sad that people are so hung up on "taking revenge". Great video, guys! I've had a lot of good and pragmatic conversations about racism with my colored and muslim friends. It's the people who aren't willing to discuss it in an adult manner, and who are just pushing their own agendas to make themselves look better, who are the problem. They are just hollow cowards.
germany has actually owned up to its past. imagine if germans were all online talking about how theyre actually the victims and how the past doesnt mean anything and the current state of things has nothing to do with their actions instead of owning up to it

As a middle aged white woman, thank you for sharing this. I don’t care about color, it’s character that matters. Small minded people blame a whole race for the actions of some.
There is a problem with social media exploding opinions all over the place. Everyone has a platform to speak, and rouse the affections of people who desire to be a part of something without doing the research to fact check these opinions (virtue signaling). It's just social McCarthyism, the witch hunt of the day - racism against straight cis-gendered whites. Human beings, like everything in nature, have the need to respond to every action with an equally forceful reaction. Liberal social consciousness is political first and foremost. And politics survive by finance. These are people parroting the outrage of dead and dying people that can not or will not speak for themselves, ultimately to validate the existence of their office for financial gain. Yet they place the blame at the feet of, not just other dead and dying people, but also at the feet of their children and grandchildren. It's easy to place blame in a high seat in Congress and virtue signal all over social media. It is difficult to go to ground zero and actually do the work that affects change. It is difficult to pass legislation for those who experienced Jim Crow first hand, before they pass on. All of this rabble rousing by people who use the pain of the people for political gain will do nothing but incite another Civil War due to a multitude of strong opinions. Remember this, DJ: Politicians create civil unrest for the purpose of validating their station. Emotion gets votes without having to do any actual work to affect change. Meanwhile your brothers and sisters of various races and cultures are too busy arguing over the scraps of their legislation to notice the two parties shaking hands behind closed doors. Peace and blessings 🙏🏾
Being stuck in the past at that...
Loxism is at the root
I was married up to day my ex wife died 10 years ago to a Oglala Sioux woman i loved her because even though i was disabled and cant work or drive she always treated me as a man. I am white myself but we often jked in a way things worked out well. If America wasnt here when Nazi took over Germany my family would of never migrated here. Also i would of never met her and we fell in love we also need to look at the positives as to what formed our country not the negatives.
@@nataliacampanella2621 Cant move forward while looking back.
I appreciate the discussion. I appreciate the questions, the pushing against ideas to get clarity. Not 100% agreement but everyone willing to keep talking about it.
This is so refrshing! The more open health discussions we have now the less will be needed in the future. We can only be better as humans if we come toether with openess to talk through the difficulties we have.
My sister has adopted the habit of saying that our family is inherently racist and privileged, and we need to defer to other races because we are white. We grew up not knowing where our next meal would come from. How she believes that we are privileged is beyond me.
Same here! I keep asking myself where my white privilege was growing up! my sisters and brothers regularly went hungry, no clothes, no school etc but somehow I’m supposed to be privileged! I think this whole ideology serves to keep people of colour tied up in a victim mindset, thankfully these young men seem to have the potential to be leaders in their communities and not so easily fooled 🙏
Some people of Color are being mean to weak White girls and boys. This people Color are scared to confront strong girls or boys that are White. Many of them know that they can't win a argument with a Republic White or Black.
That's sad
Any privilege is based on class not race. Negative issues that affect black people affect white people too. Black people aren't stopped from succeeding by racism because Asians are the most successful demographic. Also people wouldn't be trying to migrate to western countries if there was racism.
That's racism for you. It'd stupid of her to say this, thr same way it was stupid to tell the black PhD 80 years ago that he's dumb cus he's black. Your sister has been brainwashed, and yall gotta fix that before she gets used by those in power manipulating her through ideology.
“We’re not dealing with racism any more, we’re dealing with evil vs good.” Straight truth.
No I definitely still deal with racism lol y’all delusional
You guys are righteous and honest..
Thanks for sharing this with us. You brought up lots of important themes on top of what the Asian guy brought to the discussion. Plus, you guys crack me up. So, keep up the good work!
As an Asian/Islander, I think the amount of vitriol towards white individuals is growing at an unprecedented rate and it is disgusting how most are accepting and/or welcome it as some sort of “due justice”. Throughout history stronger communities/countries have subjugated and done horrible things to others, regardless of race, simply as a means of power restructuring or to prosper socially/economically. This is a slow burn with a long fuse, but I believe when it ignites, the consequences will mirror the same things we’ve tried to overcome in the past.
... in simple terms it is just HATE.
Nothing new here. People of good will, no matter what their background, recognize others of good will.
These HATEFUL PEOPLE are just lost in their HATE.
Interesting ... your photo is of a bearded white person.

This current situation is a testament to how ignorant and lazy our society has become.
Including the Cartiers
More a certain minority using their media power to create racial tensions. Lets be real
True!
Very true. People don't want to work for anything anymore including their friendships and respect. By labeling oneself by race, religion, sexuality, that's instant acceptance to them as opposed to actually getting to know people on an individual level.
@@mikeshoe74 labeling isnt the issue, peoples hateful hearts is the issue. The 2 most simple ideologies are labels.. Good and Evil.
🤯 I have never seen this until now. I stumbled across your channel today! As a child I grew up with several different ethnicities in a group home. I was never racist and I never understood how people were. However, now that I am an adult, (in the last 2-3 years) I have been treated like this (extreme white hate) by the people who I once loved and stood up for. I agree with the Good vs Evil, Hate breeds hate, eye for an eye leave the whole world blind; mentality. At the rate we are going we will never see eye to eye and abolish racism and it makes me so sad! You guys are so smart and understood what he was saying! Can’t we all just get along?! If not, the world is going to get ugly quick! Thank you
Yall definitely have good morals and principles, open & willing to talk about a hard topic. I would love yall to watch “if Martin Luther King JR was alive today”
As a white 31 year old straight male.
Born and raised in Alabama.
I’ve experienced racism my whole life.
From all cultures and we ALL know this.
Respect is ALL we got.
Just look the next man in his eyes and give him the respect he deserves like you deserve it.
Shit is simple.
Hi 🙋🏼♀️
Also from Alabama, Birmingham to be exact.
My mom is from Paul Alabama (conecuh county) (I spelt that wrong) and my dad is from northport Tuscaloosa.
I agree with everything you said. Everything. They’re even more rascist against us; and we DID NOT CHOOSE TO BE BORN SOUTH; we also did not choose to be born white.
It’s just trading one thing for another. It’s awful and 100% of it is the internet giving people attention and platforms who have no business getting either.
Born and raised in Alabama. I agree with y'all. I have experienced racism my whole life, I'm a white female. I have been raised to not see color, to be respectful to every person.
I, a Caucasian female, experienced "Racism" for the most part of my life as well. My whole school career pretty much, from like 3rd grade -12th and into my adult working phase of life. I was constantly jumped/beat up for being a white girl in a predominantly black & hispanic' school(s). (😢NOT FUN)"continously picked on for being white in a predominantly black, hispanic & Asian areas we lived in. Thankfully... even tho I went thru some really hurtful, emotionally & physically Era of my life, it did not inhibit any -negative thoughts on views of P.O.C.
I love all people, we are only human. 🫶🏼

I can relate growing up in rural almost completely indigenous almost completely indigenous isolated terms it turns it is like a step back into step back into a time machine you now are you now are the minority and feeling the hate From a place and people and people who could not could not give a s*** they're all about looking after their own " you outsider"
As my mom taught me, and learned from her parents, 'treat others how you'd like to be treated'.
The gov. and the media don't want us to get along, and they already got in the heads of these people. The programming is strong!
Love what you guys do.
Divide and conquer
But (((who))) owns the government and the media?
You hit that one right on the nose brother!
The little hat cretins know they can't win without everybody else destroying each other.
Why do you think tv shows are called programming?
They told us what they were doing.
You Young Men Are Amazing!!! My husband (74) and I (65) watch you all of the time. (BTW … BOTH WHITE). I have never been more proud of you fella’s. We love watching you watch new music and how much you make us laugh and smile as you listen to the music we grew up to (Listening To Michael McDonald Was Pure Joy Watching You Guys Cut Loose) … I ENJOY WATCHING HOW YOU GUYS ARE TAKING TIME TO LEARN, LISTEN AND LOVE. I wish you young men Great Success And Blessings!!! Keep growing and walk in understanding. Hug Your Momma And Daddy … They Did Real Good. ❤️
I just have to compliment you guys on such fair and balanced discussion. There is one thing that many don't see also, and that's that for some, such as the neurodivergent, that are often not even accepted by their own supposed racial group, any kind of prejudice against them is amplified. They are just alone. I'm just catching up on your videos, since I only just came across your channel. Great job.
I believe there’s racism in every colour. I believe there’s love in every colour . I think you guys are great, and you are open to every conversation.. thank you
I believe there's one colour, that comes in different shades.
That's 100 percent true but this is about control and fear and by far, they even did a statistic count on a talk show about this that our race is on top and well it's so obvious and my mom can address more of it as she is far more a better conversationalist then I am about this subject lol.
I get depressed enough hearing too much news from her. This is all political too of course.
Fear in controlling a race of people is the war going on in the US, it has never stopped.
A lot of respect for my race fighting for equality and bigotry as well what goes on in politics.
Generally, agreed. Turned to Christ though. Human love apart from him always fails.
it is not always about races just evil & good.
@@experi-mentalproductions5358and if you remove emthe skin of every person, its red on the inside, nothing changes
When you are saying "I don't know about power" I think the best example of the fact that minorities DO have more power is the fact minorities have the ability to speak out against things and actually be heard. It's happening right in front of you; if I, a white man, said all of the stuff Cheon just did, it would likely be buried and many whites will say "thanks, but no one will care." and others would just deem me a racist in some form or fashion. However, when a minority says it, it suddenly has weight. A LOT of weight. Case in point again, the fact that Cheon is saying it, people are listening and white people are thanking him profusely for standing up for them because we aren't allowed to stand up for ourselves. Look in your very comments section, white people are thanking you guys left and right for standing up for us. That includes me - thank you so much! You guys and Cheon will be heard while we will not. That is indeed power that you have that we simply don't.
And right now white WOMEN are getting the brunt of it
This is an excellent point.
Agree with you 100%
I'm white, and I say we are all brothers and sisters. No one any better than the other. All are created equal. People are people some good some bad. Let's stop this movement to pit us against each other. Let's build each other up. Piece to you guys and may many blessings abound.
Having no voice equals having less power . White people are constantly told to shut up and listen only . Thank you for speaking up for those who aren’t allowed to speak .
Love your commentary guys. Keep up the great conversations.
There are good people and bad people in every demographic, but if you don't get to know people on an individual basis without judging them by their race first, then you are missing out on a lot of great people out there. Thank you for your honest discussions about tough topics guys!!
I am a Korean woman, adopted at 3months old by two midwestern caucasian people. I was raised conservative, but taught to be sensitive and empathetic to all races, religions, and political viewpoints. This was in Baltimore, on the Hopkins side… but 23rd was just one stumble over the sidewalk. A lot was learned…There is so much to say in response to this video, but all I need to say is Thank you. You are a group of open minded, intelligent young men, all while being entertaining and respectful. I am so glad to have found your videos. Keep it up and look forward to more!
See, this should be the most telling part of it all for some of these lunatics. When accepting people for the content of their character, regardless of what they look like is the conservative view, where else is there to go in the name of “progress”? Because then it just loops back around to where it started
Some people need a skydaddy because they can't handle reality and have low IQs
Parents need to teach their kids at a very young age to respect other races with respect, because we're all human beings, we're not different species.
Yup
Your a woman that got adopted? Confused
As a white GenX kid, I grew up in the 70s-80s regularly hearing MLK's message "Content of Character over Color of Skin" but, now the opposite of his message is what all the kids are hearing...
I'm speechless, that message will destroy every society given the chance!
SAME
You mean the guy that gang raped women in hotel rooms? That MLK?
Damage is already done
Part of the communists (fascists) takeover, only refined.
Isn't it crazy watching it happen just hatred all over again just in another tip when society worked so hard to be more selfless, kind and loving in the past. It was in the movies, the music, the culture, and society at large. It is difficult to try and explain to the younger generations because like they even said "he didn't even notice it" which to me is a little crazy how blatant it has been especially over the past 7 or so years.
I laughed so much at how immersed they were in the video at 14:38. Loved your reaction and open-mindedness.
yalls fromula is gold and yall are awesome. good stuff and really funny.
As a 42 year old white man I get tired of hearing (mainly the news) how I’m a racist, I have white Privilege.
I sure wish more people could speak and communicate their beliefs AND LISTEN like you young men are doing. It’s really nice to hear. God bless you all!
👍🏽‼️🤟🏽
If only white ppl didn’t enslave Blacks take the Natives land and chop down 90% of the old growth forest so .. ya know ppl aren’t gonna like that shit
I'm white passing, which essentially means I am white.
I say that, to give context to this statement. If you don't think you have white privilege, you are mistaken about what white privilege is.
You may have suffered immeasurably throughout your life, but you endured that suffering while being white. Which meant you were more likely to get a loan, get a job, get a warning when and if you got pulled over. You were not automatically a suspect in every crime that some other random white person committed in your neighborhood. You were not assumed to be armed and combative when interacting with police. You were less likely to face maximum sentencing if you were found guilty of a crime. You were less likely to be stopped and frisked. You were not subject to laws against congregating in groups in public (yes, such laws exist) doing perfectly legal activities.
While all of the "more likely" and "less likely" doesn't mean you would never be subject to any of those things, the fact remains that statistically, you would have been more likely to have a positive experience than a person of color.
It doesn't take away from what you've endured to acknowledge that simply being white does indeed confer a privilege in America.
@@NaptownClassic I would argue the idea of white privilege is inherently racist. You are essentially saying it is superior to be white as you would have an advantage based upon your skin color. That is what racism is, the belief that someone of a certain ethnicity is superior to another.
The left has absolutely mastered the ability to alienate and make enemies of all potential allies.
Hatred is taught!!
HOLD AN INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS.
I'm white and have experienced exclusion and insults based on color, many times. I've never excluded or insulted ANYONE based on color.
I'm glad these guys at least listened and thought this through. Maybe they'll see it now that they are looking with opened eyes.
Again…I know that there are racist white people in existence but I would like to say that as a 47 yo white female born and raised in Texas and I have NEVER in my life seen white people take time out of their day to do or even plot harm against any other race. Again, not saying it doesn’t exist, this is just my personal experience.
Perhaps you have never insulted or excluded anyone based on colour, but have you ever bothered to learn colonial history? Have you bothered to listen to people of different ethnic communities share their struggles? Have you protested with minorities to support their rights?
What most white people entirely fail to understand is that they think not being a racist asshole means "I'm a good person". When you grow up and live in a society that revolves around white culture, white history, white controlled governments and media, you don't learn about the history and culture that has been erased. You remain ignorant and uneducated. You inadvertently harm the BIPOC around you with this ignorance and have no understanding of why. You still uphold systems that oppress minorities and don't help fight it. You don't use your position in society to raise your voice to the oppressors.
How does that make you a good person? The world we live in is horribly unfair and unjust. Silence and ignoring problems is not a marker of a good person.
@ judigrumm, can I ask, what your last sentence means (to you)? Something might've went over my head? But, I do agree, and can relate, to the first part of your comment.
Hatred isn't taught, it's learned. We shove love and tolerance down kids' throats their entire lives, yet by the time they reach middle age, plenty of them have simply become fed up with pretending that equality of races is anything other than a polite fiction made up by white people to be nice. The best way to make people hate immigrants is to keep importing them.
Same, I grew up where I was the minority and being white was not something the other kids found acceptable. They made that very clear. They insulted and harassed the white girls, implying were honour less cheap pr*stitutes. The white boys were seen as weak and beaten up and robbed all the time. We were seen and treated as inferior. Despite being an ethnic native in my country, I was treated like I had no right to live here. They saw the area as theirs. And still do.
This is what we need atleast discussing not everyone has to agree but we need to talk and keep checking ourselves and others
this is how we can get better as a nation. Open dialogue and trying to strive to love one another despite our differnces. U guys fuckin rock
As a latina woman, who grew up in south America, I find kind of "fascinating" how much Americans are obsessed with race. I like watching your videos to learn this perspective and why is such a topic. Hopefully this will end one day and people can live without worrying about something that they cannot change. Thanks for all the videos!
a video suggestion for you would be bad empanada's how racism was created, it was made by the spanish, but it is something we have now that we unfortunately can't ignore in this day and age.
@@waterdragon2.08 Thank you for the suggestion, I will take a look! Yes it is something to talk about. I'm just now learning so much about it that I moved to Europe with my indian husband and learning from their experiences outside India.

The question of “what does this lead to?” is so vital. Our children are hearing these things and it’s destroying them.
Slow engineering by Democrats to make everyone more aware of Racial Differences, so that eventually it would cause a racial conflict
People of color are told they don't have power, and cannot achieve it due to white people; white people are told they're the problem, even though they just want to live too. It's all part of the plan. This will lead to the downfall of America and those that go along with it, are just ignorant as hell to what is happening.
England ruled the world. They were awful to Jews as well. They tortured us and in tenth century kicked us out. It’s not just blacks hurt by whites
More power? Probably not, but it largely depends on what power means. The definition of power is so variable that it becomes an issue in these discussions. However, I wanted to say, gentlemen, thank you for having honest conversations and listening to what people on multiple sides have to say with good will. Whether I would always agree with you or not, I will always respect you, and it is only with more people like you that our world will improve.
The world has made me out to be a villain and all I'm doing is existing...
Thank you guys for being open minded and understanding... makes my heart happy.
People might think this is only happening in media and stuff, but I have been experiencing racial hatred since high school. One of the first interactions I had with a black person (outside of my family) was a friend of my friend and she would only refer to me as "little racist white girl" and assumed my family to be racist because I lived in the country and wasn't a city dweller.
Our first interaction went somewhat like this, "HI, I am ----! Nice to meet you." And she responded with, "Yeah, a little racist white girl from the country," with no hesitation at all.
During my time in university, in my creative writing class, I wrote a poem about my favorite cousin who happens to be mixed-black. My extremely liberal professor and other students in the class called me out for being racist. Saying I only favored him because of his skin color. I dropped that class because of that situation. Everything in the poem got thrown out when I explained his features and that was what labeled me. I asked my brother who is mixed (caucasian and island Indian) and my cousin who is mixed (caucasian and black) and they saw nothing wrong with my poem.
In my first year of college, a girl told me that I wasn't allowed to wear braids (I was wearing a French braid during this interaction) because I was white. That braids were a black American and African style and I shouldn't be stealing from other cultures.
Two naive black guys called me a "Racist white bitch" because they were trying to get a dog's attention in the college library. The dog is a service dog and the service dog owner looked extremely uncomfortable. They were in one of my classes, so I knew they suffered from a list of things, especially major anxiety, and antisocial personality. I decided to intervene, politely saying "You shouldn't bother service dogs when they are working," and I received negative behavior. I think they were embarrassed for not completely understanding what a service dog was and when they were confronted they didn't know how to handle it.
A few semesters ago, I met a slightly younger guy who was in charge of the black American group at my university. He was the president. He would speak about how he thinks schools should be segregated to give blacks leeway to opportunities and so on. He believed this was an answer for opportunities in school because he was glad that he barely had any white people in his school growing up because they would have stole opportunities from him otherwise. He actually fought and won for there to be only black people and minorities safe places on campus where white people were not allowed to be at all (no entry for whites or whites not allowed on the sign). He was the leader of 3 clubs and all of those clubs did not allow white people to be a part of them.
These stories were not to support a narrative of us versus them or individually an I versus them narrative. These stories are to show when you are raised without knowledge of certain things and jump to assumptions, divides can happen. For example, that creative writing class with a poem. There were no black students or other students of color in that class. Everyone was white. I was the only one that had a family that was non-white.
My cousin is mixed and is marrying a woman from Africa. My cousin is Caucasian and his children are mixed Latinos. My other cousin is engaged to a woman from the Philippines. My other cousin has married an Asian American. My brother is mixed of Caucasian and island Indian (his grandmother on his father's side is Jamaican and lives on the islands).
I grew up in a decently diverse family that showed everyone positivity and love no matter their skin color, background, or social class. I was raised that we are all human. We all make mistakes. We all bleed. We all have emotions. It's odd to see how some people rip humanity out of others based on skin color or gender. Out of things they could not control.
Sorry to hear you've gone through that. Just focus on your own lot, us individuals are not very impactful on the general direction of things. Best to forgive and put it behind you. Find a husband with a good heart, show him what love means, raise beautiful children. You will find peace in this.
Unfortunately things are going to get worse before they get better, there's a coming pendulum swing that will foster a slightly less extreme white identitarian movement. Best to pick a white husband in case things get bad, as when it happens it will be sudden. Wish you well from rural Australia, we're facing the same **** over here but with Aboriginals and indian / Chinese immigrants at our universities.
First line gonna say, "lived in the country and wasn't a city dweller" in my opinion, CITIES are the problem with racism. Racism, criminal activity, selfishness, all these things seem to be more prominent in cities. Financial issues tend to be even bigger in cities as well, with most political ideas being represented by the cities. I live in New York State. I feel like nothing I say here matters because the city is so huge and they know their way of life and how they're treated there, but they don't think much of how vastly different people can act as well as their needs are depending on their location. I live in a small town, and this place was very safe until people from the city moved here during the pandemic, then we even had a bomb issue. I can't walk outside at night anymore. It's the social environments being held in the cities that seem to be the biggest issues. (Of course there are issues with some places in countries too, but I do feel that cities play a big role as well)
R there some foxes who really wish that we hate each other between races . Just don't fallow their patch ! So that it will not be necessary for anyone to fall into their own pit created for the other . ( Imagine the labyrinth with hatches ! )
I’m glad you ditched the creative writing class. You’re a good writer and it would have only tainted your talent.

Prejudice towards me annoys me, but I'm a big boy and move on with life.
But I've got niece's and nephews.
No little kid regardless of skin color deserves hate.
It annoys you but you move on with your life.
That's the point the Asian chick was making... Prejudice towards you as a white person is nothing more than an annoyance and you can go about your day.
Prejudice against a black person *IS RACISM* because it means,
- Denial of a Mortgage Loan
- Denial of Apartment Rental
- Denial of a job
- Told what bathrooms you can use
- Told where to sit on the bus
- Weaponized the Police against you
-(which has a whole other list under it of what that then can
lead too)_
- Which schools you go to _ie_ what kind of education you get
- Where you live
- What you eat
*... Etc .... Etc ...*
Well said!
That why you have to fight back. For those in the future.
I have an 11 year old son. It’s heart breaking knowing what is being said about us. I don’t really care, I’m 40 years old.
You're wrong. You're not a big boy. A big boy doesn't move on and ignore things. A big boy stands up and does what's right for the greater good. Stop being a beta male. Address the issue do what's right. Soon your race will no longer exist. You'll be at the bottom. You don't see what's going on with the liberal government right now? They want to wipe out the entire white culture, Race, White everything. You better wake up boy.
Thank you guys for making content
Thank you gentlemen.
I’m as White as they come. I was literally crying as I watched this. I’ve never associated with racist people. I have ancestors who died in the civil war fighting for the north. The best man at my parents wedding is a black man who has been their friend for almost fifty years. I’ve had close black, Hispanic and Asian friends my entire life. To hear that there are people who hate, I mean really really hate me, my family and other people like me, good people, because of our color…..I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I was raised when everyone seemed to understand that that was evil. Racism doesn’t cure racism. And it certainly doesn’t change the past. Please, everyone, teach everyone, your children, your friends, that this is wrong. We are all Americans. That’s it. We are all on the same team. Please.
Where have you been? Its being broadcast everyday with the stupidity of anti white teaching in schools across America, racist government policies, the knockout game etc. Its been front an center way before this video.
READ SOME OF THE STUFF I PUT ABOVE. SMH... I'M WHITE INNER CITY, SUFFERING, DYING, ANGRY NOW. FEELING SO MAD. MY FAMILY WAS IN U.S.S INDIANAPOLIS. ALL MY GRANDPARENTS AND FAMILY DIED. NEARLY ALL OF THEM. I HAVE ONE DAUGHTER LEFT AND A BLACK SON. I call my BLACK SIS JUST THAT SIS AND MY BLACK MOMMA JUST THAT MOMMA SINCE I was 14 years old when my bio mothers men got finished with me. By 17 I've suffered EVERY evil crime you can imagine mentally and left for dead. OVER HATE. Called wigger all my life. Little did they know BLACK CULTURE is actually WHITE CULTURE carried over. Just whites ended up investing over time in savings and houses. Wanting better except poor whites like me suffering from this crap fully disabled now and nothing. I'm feeling so angry for the FIRST TIME in my life at black people. Like RAGE but I'm seeing what is being FULLY SILENCED. I DO MEAN FULLY....IT'S SO SADISTICALLY EVIL WHAT IS GOING ON TO WHITES BUT WHITE KIDS....I PUT A 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE GROUND HANGING TO YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE....MY OTHER DAUGHTER JUST ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND IS FIGHTING TO LIVE. LONG TERM CARE FOR LIFE.. LEFT MORE ABOVE. BE SAFE.
A simple walk through any major city after dark would teach you that, but I’m glad it didn’t take that to learn that lesson.
Me an Australian: yes, we are all American
I can guarantee all your black and Asian etc friends while still friendly with you, still had some sort of feeling of community among their own people too though. White people go beyond just "dont treat people bad for their ra ce" and they end up being the only people in the world, literally, that don't even have a sense of belonging to their own kind, but it's something that only started recently. Stop the "I don't see color" thing, I'm not saying treat anyone bad but White people need to learn again to have some sort of community sense like every other ra ce of people in the world do though. Because it has only gotten to this point *because* Whi te people are largely opposed to or are afraid of having this same in group preference that all others besides us have. There is such a thing as being too individualistic.
The funniest part about others calling me a "colonizer" is that there are no actual colonizers or slave owners in my bloodline. My ancestors all come from Switzerland and immigrated to the US in the early 1900s. My ancestors had nothing to do with colonization or slavery but they still assume I'm one because I'm pasty white!
Wow that sucks
I get the same treatment, yet my Mother's parents immigrated from Bohemia and on my Dad's father was French and his mother was full-blooded Mohawk Indian. How am I responsible for slavery????
Eh I never liked when people try to get out of being called a colonizer because your relatives weren't here until all of the fighting was done. Let me ask, did your family ask permission of the Natives to move here? Colonizing is just having people from one country settle on land in another country usually by displacing another group. You're complicit in the takeover. And I am not some wokey. I just cannot swallow the whole "my people weren't around back then" narrative. Maybe not but they don't mind benefitting from the current situation. At least we were born into this circumstance. Immigrants say "colonizer" to us as they unpack their boxes. They chose to come here.
Just like how every black person is just African American no matter where they come from, even if it wasn’t Africa.
Crazy that they have no idea their own people sold them and that their was thousands of black slave owners.
Love you guys. Thank you :)
What a relief to watch this video, I lost my ex-girlfriend, my friends, and was disowned from my family for mentioning this experience I've had personally on multiple occasions. Now I'm not painting myself a victim I honestly don't give a shit how people perceive me. I'm just sayin people don't like how the truth feels in their britches.
Your first opening remarks resonated with me. As a teen in the 80’s we were taught to ignore a person’s race, that it was their integrity and character that mattered. Ffwd 20ish years, now someone’s race is the only thing that matters? Really? We haven’t gone very far. Dr. King would be ashamed of all of us. It’s about courtesy and respect, no matter where you fall in the color wheel, nor in the socioeconomic spectrum, we can all do better.
Absolutely agree!! Feels like we are (as a country) trying to distance ourselves away from dr. Kings message which obviously is not a wise thing!
Me too! I was born 82 we all shared cultures
MLK was not as righteous as we're meant to believe he was. I think Malcolm X would be more ashamed.
I agree, I grew up in the 80's with a very diverse society and it didn't matter what race people were. I was friends with people of so many nationalities and we didn't care. All we cared about was the moral character of the people we were friends with. I am even married to a black man, with no second thought about race. We just love each other. It's so disheartening that things have reversed course in this country. College even got my daughter to tell me "maybe your ancestors lived a simple life but my ancestors were oppressed. They don't have the privilege of simplicity " broke my heart.
Those days are gone. Our own govt has put a bullseye on the back of the White Christian man and the Democrats are willing to start WW3 to make sure a bunch die. We're expected to go fight White Russians just to come home and be told our lives don't matter. Just go fight so these illegal invaders can sit in their free housing and wave their countries flags all over America
This is sadly true, growing up as a white girl I was made to feel bad. I was told I have no culture because I'm white, which is far from true and I've dived fully into my ancestors. I always thought if I didn't have some color dna I had no good past, no culture other than brutality etc. I see people of color daily that make comments that would have me ruined. I grew up dirt poor with no advantage, I made myself into something instead. It's good to see you guys and officer Tatum who are open eyed.
No one can make you feel bad about yourself unless you let them. Regardless of your skin color. Be yourself and hold your head high.
It is truly sad the hate that is being pushed. I am glad you were able to see the truth. Best wishes to you!
Naw "white" people have lots of culture. Its Jooish people who have no real culture. They stole most of their cultural rites from other people in Mesopotamia.
I share your story. And agree completely. Raised two wonderful white people who live all people. They don't have the right idea on borders but the melting pot they got that. We still get comments about no culture .. except appropriation 😮
Another great Historian is Dontell Jackson, with even more truth about slavery than Thomas Sowell, you will be very surprised where this manipulation came frome...

We have to change our preconceived perspectives about all people. Guess what-- we are all unique & special regardless... we must learn how to communicate with each other. I grew up in the 60s in a town of 300 ppl in Kansas. I was never taught prejudices or hate. I never saw a person of color until I was 12. I had never heard a cus word or taught fear of others. I still have that perspective to this day. I just don't understand this constant fight that is so destructive & it's constant perpetuation...❤love you all & pray for a better way for all of God's people 🙏 ❤
This is the first time I’ve seen a video like this. It gives me a little hope. Because honestly it’s getting to the point where I just assume everyone hates me and thinks I’m benefitting while being unaware of my privilege. I grew up living most of my childhood in a trailer park, all my jobs have been service jobs, providing services to other humans, some of which would treat me as a lesser human for working those types of jobs.
The fact that ppl still think they know anything about you based solely on your looks is fucking insane
You guys are probably some kids' role models, so I was glad you all kept attention and discussed everything with an open mind.
Then why did the guy on the far right Deny black on White Hate Crimes,He's in Denial,How Can You Honor That?
As a light skinned mixed person, I can attest to the fact that I've been discriminated and made to feel less because of my lightness more than I have ever been discriminated against for being POC. I don't think I've been able to fully articulate the self-hatred and shame I've felt about my lightness- but it runs deep
Literally same here
this is so sad. nobody should feel like this over their skin color! ❤
I feel the same
Please dont hate your darkness or your lightness! They are both BEAUTIFUL!
I've never understood the reason ,concept of " one drop " among the black community. It's only holding the black folks from excepting one another.
Really enjoyed the open-mindedness of the video. One thing that yall kept bringing up was something I've seen in my life that I would encourage yall to think about. I've had black people in my classes come up and call me names like q tip and cracker, and threaten to beat me up because they know that my school would take a person of color's side over the "racist" white kid. I've also seen in colleges that now there is a quota that college's have to take in people of color, in order to make their campuses more diverse. These things along with other issues is where I would argue that people of color do have more abilities than white people. Overall though, I don't consider it to be a huge problem in my life, only minor inconveniences, but I just want to voice my opinion in hopes that this problem doesn't continue to get worse.
hey boys... I appreciate you. although it sucks we are strong. Our history, humor and love for all cultures have prepared us for this. we were immune, but it's wearing off. Seeing videos like this, seeing guys like you being human and seeing us as just humans... makes me smile and gives me hope. Thank you.
The truth is I am terrified by these ideologues mental illness. Thank you guys for being normal.
Indeed, it's not an issue of color but an issue of morality and how you choose to treat others regardless of anything else going on in the world.
me too! I grew up in a time when, at school, they taught us to watch out for things like this and to watch out for when governments take your freedom and now all this stuff we were warned about is happening and now one seems to care
As an asian american, I've had so much racism from whites and blacks equally growing up. The easiest way to deal with this is treat everyone regardless of color with love, love defeats all. I really appreciated hearing yalls social intelligence and reaction to this video. You gained a subscriber!
Ay brother, I'm sorry to hear you've had to go through that bullshit. You're doing it right though, fuck those kinds of people, but I hope you never to hesitate to knock a motherfucker out if they overstep
The majority of anti-Asian hate crime are perpetrated by Black Americans.
And as African American I had racism from Asian ppl and whites growing up so what you said is bs
@@jenovamoney3232 blacks shoot and murder each other more than any group. You know what the most spoken word is before the trigger is pulled? Hint: it rhymes with “trigger.”
@@jenovamoney3232 I have been told that blacks are bad not just racists 😅😅😅 and I believe it by their attitudes
Thanks for making this video you guys
The ignorance is devastating. Absolutely breaks my heart to see so many young people with these views of Division and hatred. I want to send my love to all of humanity. We are all from earth and just trying to survive. Unity and peace to all. ❤
Thank you for having this conversation. I’m in my late 50’s and remember a brief moment 80’s&90’s where I had friends from all races without it being an issue. I even have a mixed race daughter. In the last 10 years, I have been screamed at at work, my professional license has been threatened and women and men of color have created a hostile environment. Is it motivated by race? Yes. I was told that my presence is offensive, that Ian responsible for the enslaved blacks. (Even though my ancestors immigrated to the US after the civil war.). My daughter tells me it’s because of my white privilege that I am unable to understand where these folk are coming from. But I remember when, in my lifetime, that people were not judged by their race and most people worked together to stamp out the racism that was there.
exactly
I remember that time too. My friends were from all types of colors, backgrounds and religions.
Same, I grew up in a multicultural city and my friends were from everywhere! We were more including in the 1990s and early 2000s. There was even no nepotism judgement, I had rich friends and friends that came from nothing! Life was great. Married a wonderful north African guy and never even thought 🤔 hhmmm what about the melanin? 🤦🏼♀️
@@emilycampbell5798 That's soo racist 😜 to forget the melanin is to deny who your husband is.. Didn't u know? We're based on skin color now, not content of character. JK!!! Much love to U and Urs. Don't change 💗
Same here I had friends of all different race we all got along fine but in today's world that's a no go and that's a shame.
My ancestors were from Ireland and were sold to other whites as indentured servants, others fought with the North to end Slavery, were a part of the underground railroad. I've been grouped into the same people as hate groups and had racial slurs screamed at me, been spit on because I'm white and accused of having this white privilege that I've never experienced. Racism of any degree is 1000% WRONG. Thank you for your candid opinions and feelings guys, we NEEED more HONEST opinions like this. Love yall 💜💜
Your ancestors are from Africa and had high melanin counts just like EVERYONE EVERYWHERE! Why do people pick some erroneous time frame to claim where their ancestors are from? We all have a common ancestor...we are all African.
Same here 100 percent Irish. Didn't immigrate until 1989. Some of my People are still slaves, when I have pointed that out to poc. Or others, I'm atonal attacked and told that it doesn't matter I could never understand because I have it so great because I'm show.. did you know there are more famous, powerful, rich black people in the United States than any other race? United negro college fund for blacks only, black history month, affirmative action and countless more Rediculous things. There is a whole lot of Privilege going on and it's definitely not white. No matter what you give, it will never be enough.. EVER. We have all seen the effects of free shit.. just makes demands for more free shit. I love all people and it's only a very small few that are stoking this nonsense...smgdh
The Irish Catholics were not "indentured servants". History records that they were the first to be brought to America in chains, and sold as property. They arrived in ships 10 years before any ship arrived from Africa with Africans. The same ships, the same chains. When African slaves started arriving, the traders then released a lot of the Irish slaves, but they then became indentured servants with very little opportunities to improve their lives, and were considered second class citizens at best. That attitude prevails in the Protestant dominated America even today regarding Catholics. When John F. Kennedy was running for President, many cried that having an Irish Catholic President would be the end of America. The same type of people years later said the same about Obama. We know intolerance. We know hatred.
@Brian No we're not. The out of Africa theory has been debunked multiple times. It is just a theory, a theory proven wrong by DNA testing.
@Brian lmfao. Following that logic, might as well say we're all space dust and leave it at that.
Loved this. At the end of the day all people are human, have the same feelings, needs and wants. The bible says do unto others as you would do unto them . Love thy neighbor. I think we all should give people a chance if they come into your space and then decide on how you interact and how they interact. Leave race and skin color out of it.
You guys impressed me how you were listening to the man in the video and had a good discussion about what he was saying. It shows your intelligence and humanity. Something we all forget at times.
Wow. Never seen this. There are forces at work that are EVIL. Thanks for sharing this guys. It was eye opening for sure.
I'm a white woman and I bring my children up to judge people on their actions and merits, not on their skin colour, religious beliefs or denominations. Not every person sees the colour of someones skin, but what's inside them. Love your videos guys, keep it up. 😊
Prejedice is taught, I didn't teach my kids to be that way. Our body is the vessel our soul or spirit occupies. We are all the same on the inside. God sees us all the same.
Its crazy how easily the youth are just okay with being so hateful towards white people. We are just America 🇺🇸 and we need to stay united.
united we stand divided we fall simple to remeber
We weren’t United when they had power over black folks now that we’re waking up and attempting to rebuild black Wall Street and the African American community, we need to nice but the powers that be literally took everything from us and fed us scraps ! Yet we shouldn’t be racist and be mad 😡 gtfo
Satan is trying to show God that he can steal Gods people...We are witnessing good verses evil,
Because they’re easily brainwashed
This isn't an "america only" thing, Europe is also witnessing this type of shit and we're in our own countries. We never should have let immigrants in, simple as that.
Watching these kind of videos hurts, makes me think that this world is too far gone and but reading these comments you guys give me hope that most of us want to live in peace and acceptance not, hate
Growing up in the 90's and 2000's was by far the best. This all makes me so sad.
Yes it sure was
It makes me emotional to see a man who is not of the same skin tone as me, affirm so many of the thoughts and emotions that I have been feeling that I am not allowed to express.
It isn’t racism. It’s evil. You hit the nail on the head. We together as one people need to fight that evil
Evil is an illusion of ignorance, and that is Wisdom.❤
I got accused of being racist once when I was like 19 or 20 and it still eats at me. I was hostessing at Chili's and one of the waitresses came in and said she was clocked in and ready to take tables. So the next couple that came in, I sat in her section. They went and got the manager and told him that I sat them in a back section because they were black. I have no idea why they thought that. I have never done anything like that and have nothing to do with whatever racist ancestors might be in my past. I didn't choose to be a heterosexual, white woman. I was just born that way
im a white, straight man from Poland, and I am a metalhead. when i watched your rock/metal reaction videos, i authomactly liked you, but man, when i watched this video i love you all. there is no racial thing to be a mean person. when people are mean they are scumbags and literally walking douche, no matter how they name is Karen or Shaniqua, Tyrone or Jimbob (i hope i type it correctly)
I'm not really sure if American's consider Polish people 'white' which was always funny to me, as we are kind of grouped up into the slavic demographic and some consider that to be minorities lol
@@Kuroganemk2 Sadly in America if you have white skin, no matter your ancestry, you are white. 😔 I am a mix of everything. I have Irish, Polish, Norwegian, Scottish, Native American and German ancestry. And despite that my family was actually brought over as Irish slaves and never owned any slaves themselves, just because I have white skin I am considered to be a WHITE OPRESSOR. It's absolutely ridiculous how our country treats race. Everyone is human, why can't we all live in peace together? 😔
@@anime_addict21 Not even if you're a white immigrant that arrived like 10-20 years ago? Should have not have anything to do with slavery not your ancestors lol
I love you comment
@@shaec3405 thanks, im glad to hear it
i’m white, i have blond hair & blue eyes, and i really don’t care what anybody thinks of me, i just live my life and try to be honest and do what i can to survive - if people think im racist or priveleged just because i’m white, then that’s on them, not me
love the channel you guys are great 👍
Amen
You are of the most superior race. And I'm a brown person.
I'm indigenous European..I live in rural America. I always say..can't see the bullshit from my house😂 I don't care what morons say; they can call me racist all day. I don't notice.
I feel the same
You ever work at a job where people yank your hair really hard and say "I was just trying to see if it was real". I have.
I really believe that if a person wants to succeed they will, once they get their mind focused on what they have to do, the big problem I see a lot of individuals having is that they are scatterbrained and not focused this is what keeps them down
Divide and conquer! Everyone is a Divine being with a different perspective. We need to find unity in this diversity. Humanity is one. Open your heart and be the being of Love that you truly are. Love and light to all. Namaste
