I recently watched a BLM spokesman talking to Destiny and how he described the N word brings about a certain trauma and all the rest. The whole time I kept thinking, are black folks really so weak and pathetic that a word brings them to there knees? I don't mean to sound harsh, but that is what was going through my mind. In this video Andrew and John had a better response to racial slurs, who don't let it bother you, you look down on that person and think something is off on that person and go about your day. You don't cower in a corner and act pathetic.
The fact that you said black folks as opposed to these black folks in problematic. You're generalising. We're not a monolith. Secondly, no one should tell how certain people should feel and let alone pass judgement. That's condescending AF. Instead, you should ask them why they feel that way if you're interested of course. I want to believe that you've talked to a few black people of different backgrounds and asked them. I personally don't fall into victimhood. Then again, I grew up in France and my parents come from West Africa. I'm secure enough in my blackness because my parents, my grandparents... and myself were never told that being black was less then. Had I been African-American, things would have probably been different for me. I got called the n-word when I was in the US. It was during an argument with a total stranger. I looked at him and said to them, is that all you've got? Try harder. That shut them up because they didn't expect that. I'm not saying that every black person who grew up in France would have reacted that way but that's just me. I can't expect everyone to react the way I did and pass judgement if they react differently. The thing that McWhorter and I have in common is that we had a privileged black upbringing. We have educated parents, him more than me, which means that we're secure in our blackness. Unfortunately, this is not the case of a lot of Black people or even the case of a lot of minorities. I hope he also goes to not-so-privileged Black spaces, debates with them and explains to them his views. I'm saying this because most of his videos are with White people who won't challenge what he's saying. In other words, his dialog should start within the community. We can agree to disagree but I think there should be a little effort in educating yourself in an effort to understand anyone who's different than us as opposed to passing judgement.
@@alpha791 I think it is clear who I'm referring too by reading paragraph 2. It is the black folks who cower at the N word, not the ones that let it roll of there shoulders. Letting it roll off your shoulders should be the natural response to such slurs. Obviously it goes without saying, I don't support anyone using that word, but when it is used, one shouldn't let it shatter them. For example I wouldn't let it bother me if a racist black person called me names (and let's be frank, black folks can be racist too). We all have stories, in a former job a fellow co-worker of mine (a black woman) I felt hated white people. She truly believed Barrack Obama (who was on his first term at the time) would be assassinated because in her mind the country is way to racist and ran by supremacist. She would get so worked up when she talked about white people. Now I've had many black co-workers and never felt that any of them hated white people, except for her. Now it is true, I don't have much contact with Omar, Omar is the name used by John McWhorter that is the black man who is caught up in the wrong crowd, who doesn't have as much sophistication, a rugged individual on the street that believes a certain way about police and how things are rigged against him. Now I suspect if I were to use such a slur (I wouldn't because that isn't who I am), Omar would punch in the face, which is fine I would have deserved it. The only black folks I have in my circle are, like you, doing well, who if presented with such language would brush it off. I also would like to see John have a conversation or debate with an Omar.
@@dragonore2009 interesting.... From JustAlpha: "The fact that you said black folks as opposed to these black folks in problematic." I am currently reading McWhorter's book, and he directly addresses this phrasing.
John brings up an interesting point about leveling in schools. People learn at different paces at different times. I think people even those who are academically competitive could benefit from slowing down and taking time off to rest their brain and to do something other than school. Many of the people getting into the top universities are not that well balanced IMHO. Functioning around people with different levels of intellect at different times and in different situations as well as knowledge sharing that can go on from people who are smart or have some talent at other things besides test taking and academics is something that can’t go on when people are separated out from the group as “better” students or “better” people. The answer is always “set the scene”. School as it functions right now just serves as a function to constantly remind people of how much smarter or how stupid people are rather than focusing in on actually educating people.
We live in a world where displaced everyday heroes gather at campfires lit by great thinkers. John McWhorter for race and thought control. Bret Weinstein & Heather Heying for science. Dr. McCullough for medicine. Viva Frei & Nick Rikeita for law. Each is a disaffected expert in their field, rallying for truth in a world of censorship. Yang APPEARS to have his thumb on this pulse... but let's see if he notices anyone who doesn't first appear on the mainstream media.
Yang would also do well to recognize and talk to people that arent in and of "the left". The biggest criticism I have of the Forward Party so far is it is pretty much just the Democrats that havent fallen off the board to the radical/progressive side yet. I know of a number of people that would consider themselves politically homeless right leaning moderates (like Bridgette Phetasy that he did recently have a great conversation with) that are the exact kind of person that Yang needs to move a moderate party forward, but he only wants to talk to commentators and politicians that are or were admitted Democrats. I cant see that being successful for him.
I ended up in fights often in school because people suspected I was gay. 🥺 The issue is if you start in on me I could defend myself. So often the people bullying me would get hammered and I would end up suspended.
This guy is awesome, well both of them. Power depends on job, connections, status & esp money. Rarely about race TODAY, but when it is so, it does not fit the CRT narrative, you are not in 1950's America any more. It is often the exact opposite, where racism towards a light skinned person is NOW NOW NOW socially acceptable, by double standards. Big Tech always always has racial double standards like that (except for Twitch, which treats people by equal rules). And often it is going to be a youngster who is black, that is going to be harmed properly by cool & woke racism, as Andrew Yang mentions at 8:44 here. A lot of Activists on the issue of race, are incredibly racist, just in a way that is socially acceptable today (even lauded in my Cliques). From what I have heard of him, John McWhorter genuinely does not consider people to be more or less valuable, or a sin better or worse, because of a person or groups skin tone. i.e. the opposite of BLM & CRT racial ideology.** **According to a CRT bible such as "Critical Race Theory: The Writings that formed the Movement". Also other popular writers who's thesis's do not stand up to scrutiny such as X Kendi or De Angelo, both people with deeply racist double standards in most of the things they claim.
10:15 This is a great example of how X Kendi is doing to black children, because he literally supports these policies & the proven false assumptions it is based on. He is the one who makes those provably false claims, people clap & question nothing, and it is utterly destructive to the students, esp those with the misfortune of being black, poor & going to a school with such policies.
"Manufactured victimhood" is a perfect way to put it. Maybe society should start punishing people who manufacture victimhood, and in turn, intentionally create hardships for others and for society at large.
Its weird school climates are bad because people are generaly more invested in school... might be the economical workings out of school ...further more, then the direct causes, that are.
Bruce Lee was already dead in the early 70s, and most people didn't watch his movies (all 4 of them, and only one that wasn't dubbed/subtitled, released in the US; i don't count that piece of posthumous crap, Game Of Death) until syndication many years later, and certainly not on the big screen (like Jackie Chan and Jet Li)...
I would say you can definitely cling to victimhood even if you have a fantastic life look at the athletes, celebrities, and politicians currently participating in it.
you have to do both. the power system and the personal need to change. its not one or the other. race, gender and class have to work together not against each other. people have gone through trauma and have healing to do. and the system does too.
I care less about what the Rules are, than if they are applied equally. I love how Andrew Yang wants progress is "progressive" & politically minimalist, but not "cool & woke".
I challenge anyone who is a believer of Critical Race Hypothesis, to actually listen to John here, and tell me what part is false, or treating people unequally?
I Love what John said. (( It can be hard to be proud )) of any Invisible Disease. There is a hole in me. I chose the death of Chester Bennington 7/20/17 to be a day of enlightenment for invisible diseases. I believe Chester had the same seizure in the bathroom on his last video. Almost step by step. That would mean in the end he had to Fight Epilepsy and Schizophrenia TOO! I could Never be strong enough to Fight BOTH!
John always gets right on the edge of total truth but is afraid to leap. Yes fatherless & poverty contributes to black delinquency, BUT you leave out the welfare state & refusal of school vouchers which are all policies of democrats.
Andrew, stop with the nervous-Kamala-Harris-guffawing!!! This was a GREAT INTERVIEW marred by your bursts of sea lion like barking laugh!! Get it together, dude!
I guess i wasn't the only one that noticed his unusual laugh. It sounds even more ridiculous at double speed which his how i watch most lengthy youtube videos to save myself. That laugh might be the one thing that dooms Andrew from ever becoming president, not unlike that Howard Dean scream...
The Forward Party needs to get together a team of people accompanying the candidate for 2024. Here are some good names: Noah Chomsky, Tulsi Gabbard, Anand Giridharadas, Thom Hartmann, Chris Hedges, Larry Lessig, Robert Reich, Bernie Sanders, Marianne Williamson, Elizabeth Warren, Richard Wolff, etc. Millions of people would recognize the positive strength of a great team supporting the candidate of a new party.
Andrew Yang is an American Patriot, in know a stupid phrase, but this man is real, and we need more like him.
This podcast needs more views. C'mon people share it out.

There's so much truth in what John McWhorter is saying.
I ended up in fights often in school because people suspected I was gay. 🥺 The issue is if you start in on me I could defend myself. So often the people bullying me would get hammered and I would end up suspended.
The country needs more John McWorter.
Nothing short of brilliant, sir.

I have had pretty sexist things said to me (as a woman), but I do not cry about sexism like a lot of the women nowadays.

I like the forward party....... but I am Yang Gang forever.

Andrew, didn't you see any Bruce Lee movies?
