~Tapping into Your Potential Where Others Saw None~
I am a 56 year old white woman and wish my privilege would hurry up and kick in. I've been struggling my whole life..
54 yr old and I get you!!! 🤝
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@conservativehippie9736 Amen sisters!
Yea same
Preach sista
I’m proud to be White and I don’t feel guilty about it either
Privilege comes from having money not from your skin colour there are no privileged poor people
Say it aint so. I would have bet money that Billy Bob living in a trailer in Alabama had way more privilege than Whoopi Goldberg.
@@jedimastayoda112 I hope your being sarcastic. If it’s about money. All celebrities of all races have more privilege than this white woman.
@@jedimastayoda112 I'da put five on that... LOL!!
I think people are privileged in some ways but not others.
Sure, you can have a family that lives in a mansion while another family lives under a bridge and say the rich are the privileged.
but...
The family under the bridge are a very tight crew. They love the hell out of each other. They would die for each other. They will always stick together...even broke and under a bridge.
The rich family despises each other. They can't even sit down and have a meal together without screeching. Each member spends their days wishing the rest would just hurry the fuck up and die so they can have everything all to themselves. If any of them were to burst into flames, none of them would even waste enough piss to extinguish the flames to save them.
I'm going with the poor having more privilege on this one.
so true..
I’m a maternal/newborn nurse and I get all kinds of patients from all different backgrounds. Some of my patients would come from the inner city and didn’t have much daily contact with white people. There were times I could even feel that they didn’t trust me, or even like me, when I’d walk into the room. I’d spend 12 hours with this new mom and baby and their family helping them in the most intimate ways. By the end of my shift they usually didn’t want me to leave because I care for all of my patients the same and I do it with love and kindness. We come in contact with people every day that are a little different from us, different backgrounds, races, whatever. We need to take these opportunities to treat each other with respect. It’s daily day to day interactions that may just change someone’s mind about who they think you are, not wearing a silly pin or putting people in categories. We’re all just trying to get through life.
You have the best job EVER. To care for new mothers and their babies is a calling that doesn't care about skin color. I would guess CULTURE is more of an issue. Lucky you, keep up the hard work and enjoy every beautiful moment. Moms and babies need to be our top priority.
I'm SoCal California and latino folks show me how they feel 24/7 everywhere i go. Of course not all of them but it's vast majority. Most of my lifelong friends are latino and even they still wont admit any of it but it's truth. They have a deep taught hate and since they're majority now and all the coddling they get from news and tax payer funds they're becoming bolder by the day. It's all pretty sad since it is whytes who have openly voted to spend trillions on helping generations of them only to be discriminated against. My daughters tell me their children are extremely hateful and choose a whyte to pick on in school until they mentally break one then move on to the next.
Absolutely! I am a recently retired nurse who worked in everything from pediatrics to oncology, home care and GI nursing. Over my 38 years, I treated everyone with the same care and respect. The love I gave, I got back, and it did not matter gender, race or background. ❤
@@Naturestheway yup just moved from socal and it’s true a lot of Mexicans hate white people and are happy to demonstrate
As a nurse, same experience.
My white privilege started when I quit school at 15. I’ve worked several different phases of construction and pretty damn good at all of them. So I’m pushing 60, I have herniated disks, arthritis throughout my body and can barely walk. At least with my packed lunch I ate outside so it was a picnic everyday! I’ve been enjoying some privilege alright.
@Patrice Lumumba You would read that whole thing, and only get out of it that he "chose" to quit school and bust ass his whole life lol....
@Patrice Lumumba Maybe he didn't have a choice.
@Patrice Lumumba He chose to quit school, get a job and worked his whole life. I don’t see a problem with that. At least he didn’t quit school, turn to drugs and crime and live off the welfare state.
Yep,I know how you feel.
@Patrice Lumumba let me guess, you have had white privilege all of your life and don't even realize that everyone doesn't and the only reason that the resources that allow that come from all of the people who bust their asses every day for nothing, but the slave owners never have been able to understand why they have not earned what they have.
Van one of the greatest men I worked for was a black man. I remember him telling blacks there is no color on an advancement test in the navy.
I worked in loss prevention for years before going to work in a prison, we were specifically taught to ignore ethnicity and to look for signs of theft. There are tell-tale signs to look for when someone is going to shoplift, having a hoodie on and being black isn't on the list.
Usually the people that are suspiciously too nice
When they realize they're losing the debate, that light bulb moment... Priceless! 😂😂
I never got to see anything about that,so losing the debate huh,Karen
They pick and choose
Excuse me! I'm in College because I know everything. I'm not losing. You're just uneducated. I have 2 semesters of education! This comment is over! AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!
General college culture.
They ran to their “Safe Space”!
I'm blackfeet, 62 years old, and very much proud of my heritage, wouldn't change a single thing. I was so proud of my heritage I married an Indian. I just simply want everyone to love each other. That is what our creator wants of us.
@Jim Holt I'm a quarter Blackfoot, 62 and proud of my heritage. God made me who I am and I will never be ashamed to be me. I worked hard for everything I have. Nothing was given to me.
AMEN to that ,,
As a white woman who is not rich, I don't feel like I am privileged at all.
you aren't.. and as a white male I'm not either.. seems like white people are discriminated against more than anyone else
I wouldn’t know nor want their privilege.
My grandparents were share croppers in Arkansas. I don't think I have white privileges!
@@palekillerwhale4899 at least this admistration. Typical democrats politicians always race dividers I guess now it's our white turn. 😉
You've got "Character Privilege," Brother Van. People are drawn to you because you come across as intelligent, humorous, likeable, humble, open-minded, reasonable, and caring for others. God seems to have given you a good heart, and if that isn't a blessing, I don't know what is.
Amen
Agree
Amen is right Christopher Knerr
Absolutely!
Yep.
I’m a broke ass white man with a job I hate …😫 I would like to try some of that white privilege😂😂😂
@Patrice Lumumba if white privilege existed then he would have suceeded without trying. So obviously it's a lot of shit.
"I don't feel like I would be turned down from a job, or anything like that, because of my skin color."
Waters: "I'd turn you down for your hair."
😂🤣
I went back to college in 2016 to get my bachelor's (I had an associates) and even our campus in WV started this BS.
So I did what indo best...wore a MAGA hat every day. Was even interviewed by the campus paper lmao
I want some of this white privlidge I've been hearing about. I'm from one of the poorest states, the one hit the most by the opioid epidemic, we have one of the highest concentrations of vets, and one of the highest poverty rates.
White privlidge is a racist belief in and of itself and destructive to our society.
We're all in this bullshit together.
I won't say there wasn't issues in the past, that there's not a racist cop sprinkled in to some departments, but damn. My white skin didn't get me special treatment when my DI smoked me day 1, or when the cops beat my ass for running my mouth. Never got me a job, didn't get me favors with a judge
WV has been screwed over by big corporations for most of its history yet you still vote Republican! Where do you think all the profits from the coal went? Read some history about trying to unionize the coal fields. Learn why your state is so impoverished. It's not from liberals, it's from big corporations. I lived there, I know. I love WV but at some point you have to face the fact that you have been conned and are still being conned.
Ikr. Im from WV also. Live overseas now. The opiod epidemic and Law Enforcement got way to much out of control there for me. Its ALL political psychological bs. Idk whose worse the commies or the cronies but the way I see it theyre 2 totalitarianistic authoritative no virtue having virtue signaling peas in a pod. Its a good distraction for a admin that has their dic•tatorhead in chief always speaking about how the way of Americas future is Autocracy. Id say he slipped it out but ive heard him say it like 5xs and I dont even try to listen to him. It nauseating. Maybe that was the plan along. Ppls talking about '24 but imho theres not going to be a '24 and even if there its not really going to change much. I keep telling ppl these billionaire donors that control the media can keep this clown world up longer than we have left on earth. All that is really left is to inflate the currency into the peso and wala utopia. 1% > 99% Of course they'd like to get the guns 1st. I say fuggum. Fuggum ALL!
I feel privileged to have discovered the LFR Family.❤
I am now an old white man, but there was a time in my life where I would get followed by mall security, almost always 😆.
Most security guards if trained properly don't even notice what your skin tone is 🤷🏻 they watch your body language, how you are acting and if you are hanging around certain areas for along time.
haha, must have been your clothes or the way you carried yourself
My husband and I got kicked out of JC Penney once. Apparently, their security didn’t find my husband telling me he had swine flu and then proceeding to make pig noises as funny as I did . . . Or maybe it was the fact that I got to laughing so hard I collapsed in a fit of laughter and crying between to aisles. Some people just can’t take a joke.
My greatest privilege was being raised by my parents, who love each other and love me and my siblings. The warmth of their love story lit my whole life.
That's pretty much it but the left look at the high amount of fatherless households in the black community then look at all the fathers in the white community and go "oh it's all race based." No when you give way more to single mothers than families you tell these mothers they don't need to be with a man when the government will give you more money than the father likely brings in THEN give them child support on top of that.
That sounds like a real " Faerie Tale" What you describe is pretty much unheard-of --- Check out you tube vids by " Strong Sucessful Male" , For a more common perspective-- It's nice if you've had that kind of "Good" Experience, but, It's Rare ----
@@marksommers4868 That's why I count it as a privilege. I mean, we struggled financially, there were arguments, and we had the 70s/80s upbringing that included spankings, but we belonged and there was love. I'm in my 40s now...I have seen enough to know that was special, and honestly, i will never stop wishing for all children to have that, unrealistic though it may be.
Wish I had that privilege growing up. If it doesn't kill you.......it only makes you little more psychopathic. ,🤪
me too. But for some STUPID reason that i cant understand is i ended up feeling bad about it...that in many ways i had it so easy...like i had to punish myself and make my life harder. Where did that guilt come from??
Forget color we are American 🇺🇸
Exactly!
😃 Preach 😃
👍
I used to have a job, years ago, where a manager, let's call him Bob, had high expectations of coworkers. There were plenty of people who quit, saying Bob picked on them because they were from this "group" or that "group". Truth was, Bob picked on anybody who underperformed, including little ol me, so I worked hard because it was a decent job and I didn't take Bob's criticism personally. I didn't have that job because I was privileged, but because I worked hard. Bob wld have let me go in a heartbeat if I didn't, and, looking back, I think that makes him one of the least discriminatory people I've ever known. It is actually insulting for someone to "take it easy on you" for being in a certain group, it means they don't believe you can do better.
I agree. it is patronising to expect less of someone because of their demographic or any other reason. It is not empowering at all.
Children have to be taught prejudice. When my son was little he didn't know any difference between his friends. They were all little kids playing together.
Prejudice is a learned response. A person has positive or negative experiences, all tied to a particular ethnic group, and it generates an associated emotion with that group. That is why racism is difficult to remove. It is an emotional, knee-jerk response, not an intellectual mindset. It takes time and conditioning to reprogram your emotional reflexes, but it can be done.
I remember very clearly as a child and teenager growing up my dad going through layoffs and unemployment. There were multiple jobs he was turned down for and specifically told it was because they had to hire a minority to meet the affirmative action quotes even though he was more qualified. There can be unfairness on both sides at times.
Affirmative action is racist.
It’s hindering one person over another based on their race; racial discrimination.
In a world where you can get a degree online for free if you look hard enough there isn’t really a need or excuse for a race being “held back” unless it’s by institutions set specifically to do so;
In short there is systemic racism but the people complaining about it keep voting for the people who made the system (democrats).
@@SupHapCak and I feel personally it's an injustice to minorities. They are/can be at any time just as intelligent as anyone else. When the bar is set lower to accommodate affirmative action, to me, the company is then not hiring someone based on their intelligence or because they are best for the job, which again, I think can be seen as an injustice on all fronts to everyone included.
What if your mixed half white and half black DO I JUST GET HALF MY PRIVILEGE ? And if so what rea they ?
This is exactly what they did to the Jews they made him put a band a thing on their s***
The n@zis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear
Yep
I found your channel recently and appreciate your insight. The civil rights movement was about fighting segregation, today, it's about re-instituting segregation. Black graduations, Black dorms, and on and on. It is heartbreaking. There are people in this country who just want to divide us.
I'm half American Indian but classified Caucasian never not had to work for everything I get, and grew up on welfare so,I don't know of any privilege.
Its an "invisible knapsack", remember. It's not real but it actually is. Logic👍
Privilege, don’t you guys get free college degrees and all kinds of stuff? My grandfather was something like a 1/4 and had a huge list of things he could get from the government. Never did though cause he didn’t care. You have more privilege than most.
You guys can do drugs, have casinos, free college, and have your own governments. Depending the tribe you can even kill Americans as one tribe is still considered at war with us lol
@Patrice Lumumba it's another way of saying Native American.
@Patrice Lumumba I think you're brainwashed. Indians are not the "true people" of this land no more than European whites. Don't cherry-pick history in order to frame it to match your rhetoric... Indians were here before the spanish, & before the europeans. They are not the owners of the land. Even based on your pseudo leftist logic the Indians were colonizing
@@ChrisTopher-ek6rr The correct terminology would be North American aboriginal. Everyone born here is a Native American.
I grew up in a small town and when I was 13 my dad was put in the hospital for the last 3 years of his life. The majority of that time was in Detroit and Wayne Hospital. Every single nurse of my dads was black besides one. And, to this day, they were some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. This kind of teared me up a little bit, and I don't do that often. These women waited on my dad like they were his best friend. I will never forget it. After he went through chemo his hair came back curly and became an afro. The nurses always joked about it.
What is crazy Van, out of all the people I watch, and I watch a lot of people. I just checked and you are my number 1 watched channel. I like how you are real and not trying to feed me some BS. Even the channels I watch where I agree with a lot of what they are saying, not always why they are saying it, I always feel like they are trying to feed me some type of BS.
I believe in beauty privilege and money privilege. That's all I've ever experienced.
I really appreciate listening to your perspective. I'm white and didn't have "green privilege". My people looked down their nose at those who had more money. We weren't super poor but we didn't have anything above what we really needed.. Going to Arby's was a treat.. The bottom line is you can choose to walk around as an inherent victim, blaming "those people" for your problems (or lack of ambition) or you can stand up and BE just as good as the next guy, no matter what color or how much money they have. Thanks for the calm and thoughtful way you present your opinions.
I have gotten several jobs in the past, not due to my race, but due to my accomplishments. I’ve gotten jobs because I was an Eagle Scout. I’ve gotten jobs because I was a veteran. I’ve also been overlooked jobs because I was a veteran, or because I just didn’t have the skills needed for that position. Back in the day, when I was a warehouse manager, I didn’t hire people because of their skin color. I hired people, because of their work ethic, and their willingness to learn.
Imagine being $100,000+ in debt to be taught this divisive BS 🤣
I think we have much more of a classism issue. I grew up in a low blue color (i.e. - white trash) neighborhood. Had food stamps, had lunch tickets for school, got clothes from garage sales, etc. The convenience stores sure eyed the white kids in our neighborhood when we walked in. Shoplifting issues galore. I think you get judged based on how you dress, how you speak, and how you behave.
BEHAVE. Exactly.
@JujuBees Yeah I’d have appreciated that knapsack, but if anything like that got sent, my drunk of a mother who left me home alone from age 11 to raise my 5-year old younger brothers probably sold it for quaaludes and bottles of booze. Hence the shoplifting. I so enjoyed being a free maid and nanny, losing most of my childhood, and staying out of sight of the equally drunk construction guys she brought home. I felt so privileged, especially when I ran at 17. Glad you got yours though
@@walkofnails2923 hope you and your siblings are doing well now 🙏🏼♥️
@@baileybowman2449 It’s been almost 30 years now since I left. I made it through and did well eventually. Worked my tail off. My brothers are ok but obviously didn’t have the best role models. My mother died at age 49 from liver disease that led to sepsis. I hadn’t spoken to her in over a decade before that, when she somehow got my number and screamed at me asking for money. From her, I learned what NOT to do. Thank you for asking Bailey 😊❤️
I also grew up poor, although God blessed me with a loving, hard-working mother. I've had to deal with a lot of racism in my life due to my skin color, but I just shrugged it off as people being ignorant. Everyone has obstacles to deal with in their lives. People perceive me as "white" (although I'm actually a pale, olive color), and sometimes assume I have "white privilege." One of the strangest examples of racism is where I offered my morning meal to a guy on the street. (I generally only eat two meals a day, morning and evening.) He told me he hadn't anything to eat, so I responded, "You probably need it more than I do," and gave my food to him. He said, "You're good. Your people take care of you." I asked him what he meant, and he responded, "White people all got each other's back."
In my life, nobody has ever "had my back" aside from my mother and God. I have always had to survive as best I can. I try to remember to be thankful for all God has given me, but I have never perceived being "white" as benefiting me. On the contrary, it has often been a burden. Some people see me as a danger or enemy, others see me as a freak or oddity. Personally, I care only about a person's character, but racists will remind me at every opportunity what color I am, and you find them everywhere.
Van sadly I found years ago White folks are far less welcome in black neighborhoods than black entering a white neighborhood. This from a woman warned I should not go into the housing project my friend lived in. Though I wouldn't be scared away from visiting my friend by her neighbors she was beat up over my visits, she finally told me she'd just have to come to my house. She was shocked when my neighbors invited her to Barbques and over to swim with her kids. My next door neighbor took her and her kids horseback riding. She later rented a house down the street. I was raised a half mile from Detroit, being chased from just walking down the streets was a weekly thing. Not saying all black people are prejudice but I can say I never saw white people chase people out of their towns because of color. I live in a Hood in Pontiac Michigan now and say things are getting worse in the last two years not better. I have lived here for 20 years now and the last two years have been accosted three times for walking in my own neighborhood. I'm sad the direction this country is going. My five grandchildren are Tri- racial, Mexican, black and white a true testimony to "Can't we all get along?"
Treat people the way you would like to be treated, it works wonders
Its meant to keep society compartmentalized and in their own little box, because if we choose to reach out of the box and think for ourselves we make it harder for them to control us.
Bingo! They don't want us realising we have more in common with each other than we do with those trying to divide and control us.
I couldn't wait to leave that state. Just in 6 years it went super left super fast. I couldn't stand the people anymore.
Instead of wearing pins had they given up their college seats to the under privileged it would have been more impactful.
Quickest way to stop this BULL, Ask them to give their spot and grants to whatever College or University they go to!!
The "i trip over the patterns in the carpet" YES! 😂😂😂😂 me all day long!
You should feel grateful for your privilege, not shame. Put it to good use. Serve your fellow man(or woman). Don't be jealous of other people's privilege. Envy doesn't get you anywhere.
Same with feeling superior or inferior. Its BS.
I grew up in a very poor family 🤷🏻 I don't know what privilege was afforded to a poor white girl..
I wasn't chosen before anyone else, I wasn't offered first place, I wasn't given anything before anyone.
We had all to my memory been treated exactly the same.
I had a friend named Tabitha growing up we always had a great time playing. My family always treated her with the utmost respect, we were always taught to treat people how we wanted to be treated.
Sadly I eventually lost touch with Tabitha :( I remember that I was never invited to her house and not because she didn't want me to but because her father didn't like me.
It wasn't until a lot later that I learned that the reason he didn't like me is because I'm white.
I grew up in a family who is very much against any form of racism towards anyone, I was always taught that we are all the same. Even though we have different cultures, different upbringing, different customs and different values we are all the same inside.
So I've never looked at someone's skin and thought I was better because I have white skin 🤷🏻
I guess i was already out of school by the time they started trying to taint innocent children :/
The people doing that and Believeing it's ok are pure evil.
We are not all the same and we are not all different. How we choose to act and behave is entirely on us. Blaming others for the choices we make is like blaming a fish for not being able to walk on land.
I hope for a day that will come when we stand United together and stop believing in those who try and divide us. We are children of God and in his image we will be strong and proud of all that he has given. For it is to him we owe all, Not the greedy politicians who wish to harm us.
Jesse Watters started out in the mail room at Fox.
I did know that debbie. Thanks. I like that
not surprised....he should return immediately!
I wish we could all be proud of our races & cultures. We should all be able to celebrate other cultures without it being cultural appropriation. Can you image how boring it would be if we were all alike?
You can appropriate every culture on the planet as long as you aren't White. But you can't appropriate White culture because that "Doesn't Exist"
We are proud. If we dont listen to evil, then we own our lives instead of it being nagged at by others. If you live in the USA you have an American Culture. doesnt have to be white, black.. i own that culture. Proud to be white, proud to be a christian and a good family man. it took hard work to get there. mostly mental control (in my opinion 99 percent of our problems are inside our own mind) peace and love! no better freedom!
Cultural appropriation is a big thing in my country and it makes me so angry because all cultures borrow ideas from others in order to grow, expand and learn. Racial relations will only become a thing of the past when we can learn to share cultures.
@@laraglass4773 because there is a force out there that does not want us to be one being. they profit from modern day segregation. each month a new flag shows up in walmart, or facebook.. its why current classroom teachers are teach anti american values here at home. Culture is amazing. living in the USA i have learned so many cultures, but we almost all share american culture... whether we realize it or not.
In my humble opinion, there's just one race... the human race. If we aren't human, what are we? The differences depend on our ethnicity. I'm old school and that's what I've learned over the years.
Haha I got targeted at the mall as a white guy. I was wondering why than I relized I was dressed like the Unabomber. I forgot my regular glass and only had a pair of prescription sunglasses. So I was wearing sunglasses a hat and hoodie. I don't blame them at all.
I mean…
That’s racial discrimination.
They saw a white guy in a hoodie :/
@@SupHapCak I mean the unabomber did some scary shit. I wouldhave profiled me as bad news too.
Van, when you said you are tired of saying that it seemed like you were embarrassed to say your from the hood again. You shouldn’t be embarrassed or ashamed by where you come from, especially when you have done your business, grinded, and created a good life for yourself and your family. That’s an accomplishment, a hell of one. That’s something to be proud of. Same as when an immigrant comes over and starts with nothing and builds a life. Doing better, and preparing your next generation to better than you is what this country is about: achievement, striving to do better than those that came before you. Keep it movin. You seem much more at ease and less angry ever since you started to release the anchor that you had been dragging around most of your life. It really is a beautiful thing to see. The freedom to know that you can do whatever you want if you work for it is really the gift that this country provides, and you finally realized it. 🙏👊
Wait until she finds out she has to work for a living the same as everyone else.
I am a 56 year old white woman who has lived in rural areas my entire life.I've never know a man who has been subjected to such segregation as you have been Van. I love listening to you and learning with you.
Yes, I loved this one. We're coming together and fighting against division. I believe we will change some hearts. And, I agree, that I have white friends and black friends, and I can tell you that if I tried to treat them like I was above them somehow, they would definitely put me in my place. I'm aware of what the black community has been through over the years, but no matter how many white puzzle pieces I might wear, I will never be able to experience exactly what black people may feel, just as I can't fully understand the experiences that white friends have. All I can do is treat all people the way I would want to be treated...I think that's much more valuable the saying that I feel guilty. Great show...God bless you
I'm not trying to divide anyone I was just saying I've never seen anything
I think Morgan Freeman said it best when he said "I'm an American."
@@jamessmith7959 "just saying I've never seen anything" Ahhh, born blind privilege -- probably have that bat (or Daredevil) "sonar" privilege .... ;-)
In 1968 as a white girl, I experienced a brief moment of prejudice. It’s a long story but suffice to say I found myself in a black neighborhood in Oakland California and the only way out was to walk through it. It was a hot day and my frIends and I stopped in a Dime Store to get a drink. We took our place in line but as our turn came up the cashier would serve those behind us first. We endured “stink eye” stares and the humiliation of feeling hated. Finally one of the customers insisted we get our turn. At the time I was shocked and sad. Later I realized what a gift that was because I so ignorant at that young age about people. In my little corner of the world prejudice was only something we heard about. I had never seen it before and I didn’t like it then when it happened to me. When our all white high school got it’s first two black students my crowd embraced them with open arms, so the later Oakland experience was a shock. I’m 70 now and I’m happy to say that the amount of true bigots I have met in my life wouldn’t fill a teaspoon with peas. I feel I HAVE lived a privileged life but not because I’m white but because I live in the United States of America.
Would love to see your reaction to trumps rally in Illinois yesterday. God bless u sir
Van, you ARE making a difference. Creating relationships with like-minded folks out here no matter where, who, or what they are. it's amazing to watch you do it. Thanks.
You're looking very dapper in that shirt Van.
I really enjoy your videos.
These people actually sound R@cI$t, basically saying they are above black people on the totem pole. My goodness. They're so ignorant.
🤣🤣🤣 He sunk your battleship!!!
I love this channel!!! 💯🇺🇲 Keep up the good work Van!
7:04 we are all privileged, life isn’t guaranteed. Every day is blessing. Some are better at seeing that simple truth, through experience or example.
In addition to my last comment, thank you Van for doing such a good job of facilitating this discussion and making such great points. 💞
We all have our privileges and we all have our disadvantages no matter the color of our skins. Our privileges and disadvantages, predominantly, built primarily on our content, knowledge of truths, personal abilities, etc...
In today's true world, there are rare occasions where the proclaimed privileges do exist by race/skin color, but predominantly do not.
Stupid is as stupid does. Come on now children, privilege is earned....and can be lost.
Great Work my man!!
- *TRUMP 2O24!!!* 🐐👈🏽💪🏽🔥🙏🏽💯🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great story, this is something I have been talking about for years- There is no such thing as "White Privelage". We have wealth privelage in this country.
Thanks bro, I needed that! You crack me up Van🤣🤣✌🤘
I am so freaking excited that Van has taken this awakening journey it has made him a better man all around..... It is all about politics in the end.... They want to divide us so we vote a certain way and feed us full of crap all day
My elementary school was 98% black. I was the only white kid in several of my classes. I had absolutely no issues. Just the opposite. They all loved me. Mostly because my momma use to always bring in cupcakes for everyone (the 80s).
In middle and high school (50/50 on race) it was advantageous. Nobody messed with me. I had to many black friends backing me up.
Cupcake Privilege!™
@@khalaq2 cool!
Thank you Van @lfr family for being one of the realist people I've seen recently. You're take on current events and attitudes is spot on and the least biased I've had the pleasure to hear.
I like that shirt.
Hi! Jane here! Sir, you asked a question, and you answered it perfectly. I agree that there isn't any privilege, but there are preferences. And I'm so glad that most of us here in this beautiful country see that the character of a person is what matters. I bet that in some little isolated village where everybody looks alike, there will still be preferences.
Thank you Van for your compassion.
I think you meant to say "Game, set, match". Lol
God bless you in your Family I'm 65 and I'm so thankful I found you you crack me up I wish I could teach you all that you need to know And where to find it I have been researching for 20 years I'm disabled and that's all I have to do I want you wanna give you an idea Have a guess no 1It's easy to do now. Thank god my father who was Irish I don't know if he know but my grandfather came here in Boston they used to have signs that said I wish need not a pie they got this criminal against So did a lot of other voices I was lucky enough to have Black friends in my life My father had black friends Thank god I remember being 9 years old and crying my eyes out will martin Luther king died he was my hero So many people love this country because we are so diverse it's the content of Your character that makes you special and privilege in the loving in your heart Keep learning honey Is a lot to learn They've been lying to us for years!
The first favoritism or privilege's that I encountered was at 21 when going to the club. Women get in free, Men must pay. Woman who are all about EQUALITY keep real quiet about this.
The second favoritism or privilege's that I encountered was observing how those in the "The Pretty People Club" get freebees and likes and benefits of all kinds that the rest of us do not get. Jerry Seinfeld did an episode on his 90s comedy show when he dated a very pretty woman. He enjoyed the privilege's because he was the boyfriend. Tall guys of all races get lots of female attention, call it height privilege's. And black guys everywhere get "black athlete" privilege's when they are NOT an athlete, they just look like they might be one. These guys always play that up by wearing the sports clothes.
Your right as a woman and men tell me Im very pretty or beautiful I got free food, free rides at fairs or even prizes, and yes even got in free at places and got benefits and drinks , yes but never saw it on color or being white
Like your comment.
The pretty people club is definitely a thing- not only from a marketing standpoint, but also from an “average” or “below average” looking person standpoint. Clubs will use things such as “ladies night” to attract women without a cover charge or for reduced drink rates because it will draw larger male crowds.
Then, as far as the second scenario, average or below average looking people will offer small gifts or favors just for a fleeting glance from someone they perceive to be more physically desirable than themselves. Often there is nothing wrong with how these people look, they just lack the self confidence to approach and meet people.
In the early 70's when i joined the Navy my best friend was a black man that was raised in an area of California that was mostly white. I was raised in all white rural Pa. We got along great and that friendship lasted until other black men took him under their wings to teach him that he was a black man. Every night for quite a while he was schooled. After a while we did not hang out anymore and he stayed with his new black friends. Very sad that a good friendship ended for really no reason. I hope he had a good life.
You , Van, have the privilege of being thoughtful and well spoken. And also some privileges are earned, developed, and worked for. And that is as it should be. I’ve told all my children. Find your niche and your strengths and build those up and also work on your weaknesses. But in society you need to make yourself stand out by showing how you can be vital. Simply the way life works.
Great up the great content. You are doing a fantastic job.
As a white woman, I lived in Namibia for a couple of years. When I would go to Cape Town, some shops would have security guards that would follow me around to make sure I didn’t steal anything.
Oh, I feel so bad for these kids. There’s enough things for people to feel bad about. Privilege only comes from wealth. And you buy privilege? Right?
Yes there are no privileged poor people of any skin colour 👍🏻
@@daveyjones6465 I have not noticed any. There are the poor who have little, and the poor who have less. The goal is to be thankful for what you do have, for you could always have less than that.
@@khalaq2
Truth 👍🏻
200k tuition to make 40 to 50k a year starting or less for some of these students....feel really bad
I sure enjoy your humor while being logical. Thank you!
Love listening to you man...you challenge me to be better. Thank you!
One time I was jogging home and cops rolled up and put me at gunpoint. They asked me why I was running. I said I was going home. They cuffed me. Ran my name for warrants and held me there for 30 mins. When I asked why they stopped me they said I met the description of a robbery suspect. I said what description and they said the robber was wearing black. If I were black, it would be so easy to think it was my skin color.
love your comment about gifts . God has blessed all his children with gifts/talents! its what we do with them.
My husband wore a ball cap, dark sunglasses, long hair and a beard when we went out and the guards followed us around everywhere every time. He’s white but because of his outer appearance, they thought he was a criminal. He’s the most law abiding citizen I know.
Love ❤ your shirt Van!
He looks good don’t he?
Hey Van, this has nothing to do with the video that you're sharing but I just remembered a video that you have to watch. The video is "Oceanos sinks off the wild coast of South Africa." Yes, it's about a sinking ship but that's not why i'm recommending it. It's the amazing Hero story that you gotta see. Trust me, you'll love it.
What we need is more people who grow up with the privilege of having loving parents
That would solve a lot.
💕thoughtful show
Totally SPOT ON! 🎯
I have been tailed by security in malls. I have been refused service and/or ignored in stores and restaurants. I have been blown off on sight in interviews.
I suspect that it’s because I’m Polish.
All my friends and family are watching your channel and they LOVE IT!! Your journey is definitely leading you somewhere positive. The growth in the channel, content, your analysis and overall outlook on everything is amazing. So much growth and positive vibes you are putting out. Keep it up Van, even the wardrobe is looking great!! Forward thinking, you are going places Van. Me and a few people who really enjoy your channel have all said how great a future we see for you. Political, community leader, or what but you should definitely continue your journey and pursue something bigger. It might sound absurd but what helps your channel and you the most? Becoming a Patreon, the $$ thanks (I believe UA-cam gets a portion) buying merchandise? Just being honest and wondering, if anyone knows?
If you want to help Brother Van and the LFR Family, I suggest Patreon. Buying merchandise spreads the money to many people while also helping to spread the message.
I believe I am privileged to watch your videos, Van!
I live in Maine where the mall cops have to keep an eye out for the white criminals. We are the least diverse state in the nation.
Some people don't want me to say that I don't see color. I see people. I had the opportunity to travel around the world when I was in my twenties. As I met more people, I realized we weren't that different. It's amazing what I learned by talking to people!
With a couple of decades as a hiring manager, I can tell you skin color was never a consideration. I wanted someone who was going to excel in their responsibilities. If they do, they make me look good, we both earn more money and we both have greater job security. That is the sweet spot.
Thank you for being a true MAN , we need this from all creeds 💯
I'm white and I can debunk most of the white privilege myth with my own life because when I was younger and dressed in the late 90s and early to mid 2000s hip hop style kinda like Eminem and I've walked into malls,shops and Wal-Mart's and some security guards watched me like I was gonna steal something and I'm white so it must of been the baggy jeans that were like two or three times the size for me at 15 and a baggy t-shirt or a sweater or a hoody that was also two of three times the size for me and this one time where security was on me while I was wearing the same kind of hip hop baggy clothes this black guy wearing let's say a more preppy style of clothes like Carlton from the fresh prince of bel air and the mall security didn't care about him but they watched me so yeah lol
It’s specific behavior.
Man as a white male, I wanna know when my privilege shows up. Out work others and stop making excuses and you will see where that gets you VS playing victim and hoping others make you better. You control your own destiny!!
Heya Van! Always a pleasure to see a new vid from you..
These kids are sad, sleepy, and stupid.
Hope all is well for you and yours young man.
Just stumbled upon your channel. You are a wonderfully beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing yourself and your views.
I am a 65 year old white woman and I have never thought of myself as having white privilege. I have always had to work for everything I have. If people go back they would find out whites were slaves also. Thomas Sowell needs to go and teach history to high school kids.
Yes we were in North Africa to Muslims in the 1400s and 1500s , But its NOT taught in schools ,,, I WONDER WHY ?
I somewhat remember my first time experiencing "white privilege". It was in 6th or 7th grade (can't remember exactly) when the principal came to our class asking if we could make a banner for the school, with the best artists. Four of us were selected. One Chinese girl, one Korean girl, one Taiwanese girl. I was the only white and only boy selected for the group; I felt so privileged.
Also, the girls banded together to boss me around 😞 they came up with the ideas; I was just a pair of hands. I just realized I was oppressed by girls 😳 DOWN WITH THE MATRIARCHY!
So you're supposed to feel bad and spend your entire life in a constant state of guilt and attempting to redeem and make amends for something you yourself didn't do but something rather something nebulous and undefinable that's entirely out of your own control just by virtue of being born.
Sounds like Catholicism and Original Sin to me.
Please keep putting out this kind of content! I went back through your vids and watched your progression and it definitely love the fact that black and brown people are opening there ears and eyes to the lies that they have been told for the last 50 years
Another day of Van growing his audience...I hope this trend continues man..up another 1k today..lets see this channel hit a million!!
Hey Van , this reminds me of the voter ID video that you did from Berkeley. The college students thought that people of color didn't know how to use a computer , or find the local DMV........What!? How insulting to think someone has privilege over you. "One day , people will be judged.....not by the color of their skin , but by the content of their character".
Van, you have said the most intelligent and useful thing I have ever heard anyone say about this issue.
And you are also right about some people are trying to divide us. We should all be brothers and sisters. I know that will never happen completely, but I have hope that decent people will see through the manipulation.
Thanks for your great posts!
Lots of respect!!
Thank you for saying you have father privilege. That made me love you for seeing that our country needs men and good fathers.
I am confused. Do all whites get WHITE PRIVILAGE ? HOW DID I MISS THE BOAT. I have struggled all of my life. I grew up poor and living on food stamps as a kid. I remember going to the CHEAPEST university in the midwest because that was all I could afford, SURE maybe if I was smarter or a super athlete I could have gone to a better school but I was neither smart nor a super athlete. While i was in college I remember, on a Sunday after noon, studying in the library working my ass off in Pre- law writing legal depositions and memorandums and each Sunday several Minority members of the basket ball team who were on full rides were being tutored on how to read, reading at what sounded like maybe a 5th grade level. I could not afford to finish college so I enlisted in the Marines where I saw, ON OCCASION NOT VERY OFTEN, some Minorities getting promoted over better qualified Marines simply to comply with AFIRMATIVE ACTION LAWS . I never made it to Law School because I never had the money to go. I worked hard at the career I did work in and had many difficulties due to the nature of my career ( nothing to do with minorities ) and difficulty in marriage. In 2008 I was divorced from my cheating X wife and I was left Homeless over night ( again nothing to do with any minority BUT I received no PRIVILAGE for being white either ). I lived in a truck for a year and a half working 2 full time jobs to support my X and my 3 kids ( my Kids whom I love to this day and still have a GREAT relationship with to this day ). In 2010 I tried to buy a house on contract and the guy SCREWED ME OVER and I lost $35,000 in that deal , no attorney wanted to help . In 2011 I retired from my job and went over seas with the US DOS as a contractor to Afghanistan. In 2012 I paid CASH for a house for me and my kids. By this time ALL of my debts Bills House and Car were all paid off in FULL. In 2015 I owed the IRS some back taxes from 2013. I paid them In full and the IRS proceeded to reach into my bank account ( MONTHS AFTER I PAID THEM IN FULL PLUS and extra $1400 ) and the IRS took $15,000 out of my account so even though after talking to the IRS and PROVING I paid them in full PLUS penalties they had no right to STEAL the axtra $15,000 and they replied if you dont like it take us to Federal court and tell them. NO ATTORNEY wanted to help ME because I was not a Minority so they could not capitalize their name by Helping a Minority and NO ONE wants to go to Federal Court and try and Prove the IRS was wrong, NO ATTORNEY would help me. To this day MY HOUSE IS PAID OFF my BILLS ARE ALL PAID OFF AND TO THIS DAY I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR A EQUITY LOAN AND PERSONAL LOAN AND I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR A $500 LINE OF CREDIT. *** SO Tell Me Again HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR WHITE PRIVILAGE ???***
I’ve been turned down for civil service jobs in my city because I’m white. Scored higher on a track worker test for the NYCTA then my black brother in law(we took test together). I got 100 he got an 85. He got hired and I didn’t. True story.
Maybe thats BLACK Privilege ..
Van this journey you took is amazing and I have seen you slowly realize certain truths about our society. It should empower other people too do the same .
I appreciate you so much, Van. Decades ago, when I was a teenager, I worked in Southeast, in a back-alley warehouse building. What you say about neighborhoods is very true--I was completely out of my element if I and my Norwegian co-worker walked a couple of blocks to the nearest corner store for something to drink at lunch. It's not comfortable being the ones who stick out. But we were never threatened directly (even though we did see that store get robbed more than once). I remember one time, though, that I spent a very nervous half-hour after work waiting in the alley for my ride, who was late. It was after dark, the warehouse was closed, and I didn't know what to expect. It's reassuring to know you and/or your family were nearby back then.
Another great reaction Van....my parents taught me, and I passed this on to my kids, who are 26 and 27 now, to guage all people on character....it's fool proof. End of story. Have a blessed day my friend!!!
I’m so glad I found your channel!! Brilliant.
