Whiteness: The Meaning of a Racial, Social and Legal Construct
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- In the wake of Donald Trump’s election and bestselling books like "Hillbilly Elegy" and "White Trash," there is a growing realization that whiteness is as much a social racial and political identity as being African, Latin, Asian or Native American. In partnership with the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum, JWJI is pleased to host a panel on the evolution of whiteness in American society. Our esteemed panel brings their interdisciplinary perspective to the panel to explain why race-including whiteness-still matters in America. (November 16, 2017)
Panelists:
Richard Delgado, John J. Sparkman Chair of Law, The University of Alabama School of Law, author of Critical Race Theory
David Ikard, Professor of Africana Studies, Vanderbilt University, author of Blinded by the Whites: Why Race Still Matters in the 21st Century
Nancy Isenberg, T. Harry Williams Professor of History, Louisiana State University, author of White Trash
Jane Junn, Professor of Political Science, University of Southern California, author of The Politics of Belonging: Race, Immigration, and Public Politics
David Roediger, Foundation Professor of American Studies and History, University of Kansas, author of The Wages of Whiteness
The James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference supports research, teaching, and public dialogue that examine race and intersecting dimensions of human difference including but not limited to class, gender, religion, and sexuality.

Religion also played a big roll in all of this.
Especially Christianity!😤

Ivan, can you or know what slander is and defamation? Maybe you should not believe everything you hear unless you were there. Like I wasn’t with my family who were burned to ashes in the Ukraine. It seems like people in the United States only think about their reputations. It seems narcissistic. This all sounds political. Can’t Robin DiAngelo talk about something more intelligent like environmental biology or how important the rain forests are? She’s just a waste. People need to take care of themselves. But white hatred has gotten so far is that I don’t understand why people pick fights with me that I don’t start and I say that I am going to videotape you. It’s just that I don’t really find this video profound or philosophical. If you think that my opinion is dumb, explain why I received an A in anthropology.
@@laurieberry4814 👏🏾 👏🏾...I guess you received an "A" in playing the victim as well...nice
No it didn’t! God doesn’t condone any of this!
The feminist on the panel actually had the audacity to assert that lynchings done to "protect” white women represent one of the ways white women have been oppressed! That’s the stupidest victimhood grab I’ve even heard.
Right They always try to crowbar their way in discussion about racism against black in America. Like white women didn't inherit their husband slaves..
Being blamed for causing the actions of others *is* unjust, whoever it’s happening to.
The entire victimhood narrative is full of deconstructionist mumbo-jumbo like this. It doesn't end with white feminists.
@@zeenuf00 Seems that a dominator narrative seeks to deny the reality of oppression. That’s incredibly narcissistic and objectifying.
@@tumblebugspace thank you for so unironically proving my point lol!!

I honestly... I honestly don't know what to make of this. I felt like everyone was painting ALL whites as having power and privileges and Nancy Isenberg alone was trying to say, hey not all whites have power; not all whites have privileges.
I am an African-American so of course I understood where the other speakers were coming from; especially the black male speaker. It's just that Nancy's approach leads to more understanding and hopefully a better future. But again I agree with the other speakers that you can't give racist an inch or it will spread because the majority of racist people honestly are ignorant to the fact that they are racist.
It's coming up on five years and we need to have a follow-up discussion with this same panel. Emory University, please try and create space for this profound discussion to happen again with these same individuals. I'm sure that the lives that were impacted by this first dialogue will be greater in the second
Very interesting
Armenians were categorized as Asian. A second of two judges recategorize them as white in 1909. Then, Assyrians and Jews were included as white and eligible for naturalization.
Germany was expanding its empire via Turkey using Armenian slaves to build the railroad. So then the CIA Dulles brothers (Nazis) uncle - Robert Lansing - he made sure that Germany would not be punished via international law for using Armenian slave labor as part of genocide. archive.org/stream/pdfy-ei3C44qPKVq7L5ym/Christopher%20Simpson%20-%20The%20Splendid%20Blond%20Beast%20%281993%29_djvu.txt The U.S. High Commissioner to Turkey was Admiral Mark L.
Bristol, a man with a reputation as a bigot and a determined advo-
cate of U.S. alliance with Mustafa Kemal. "The Armenians," Bristol
wrote, "are a race like the Jews - they have little or no national spirit
and poor moral character." 16 It was better for the United States, he
contended, to jettison support for the Armenian republic as soon as
possible, stabilize U.S. relations with the emerging Turkish govern-
ment, and to enlist Kemal's support in gaining access to the oilfields
of the former Ottoman Empire. Bristol's argument found a receptive
audience in the new Harding administration in Washington, whose
affinity for oil interests eventually blossomed into the famous Tea-
pot Dome bribery scandal....Dulles went on to complain
about the agitation in the U.S. on behalf of Armenians, Greeks,
and Palestinian Jews. "I've been kept busy trying to ward off con-
gressional resolutions of sympathy for these groups."...The U.S., which had been the principal international
supporter of the nascent Armenian Republic, withdrew its
promises of aid and protection....For a smaller collection of key U.S.
government documentation concerning the genocide, see Armen
Hairapetian, " 'Race Problems' and the Armenian Genocide: The
State Department File,"...the Turkish government rounded up Arme-
nian men for forced labor, worked many to death building a trans-
Turkish railway for German business interests, then shot the
survivors. The government then secretly ordered mass executions
of Armenian intellectuals and political leaders in the spring of
1915.
+ Zu Azhar The only reason that some white people consider Jews and Arabs white is so that they can claim that everyone in the Bible was white, and that includes Jesus.🤔👩🏾
@LW In What??? B1
Yup, little known history that had all kinds of people rushing to be declared "white" when before they were proud to be part of a ethic culture! In the USA that was not allowed, you had to pick a color...white, red, brown, black, yellow...now of course we have improved so your choice is: white, African American, Native American, Asian American, and Hispanic American...but note , not European American...we still have a way to go!

The perceived link between tanned skin and the working class is not limited to white Europeans. The association of pale skin with high status is still quite prevalent in Chinese culture. Predating the transatlantic slave trade, this has been an issue of class and distinguishing the ruling elites from the working masses (peasants).
@Jeff Spicolli true. And the west has nothing to do with that.
Exactly. It’s a common trope in cultures because pale skin meant you could stay inside and out of the sun when the lower classes were working.
Yes, whiteness has controlled Chinese culture for centuries.
While among the Greeks the darker men were celebrated.
Race in the United States was highlighted for my copper brown skin in 2018- 19 when I saw America from a personal experience as a textile designer.
Another note: the comment about the "lonely Asian bachelor" was interesting. My great-grandfather was Fililpino and he wasn't lonely. He married a Black woman and had my grandfather (who looked Latino and had a Latino name) who married my Black grandmother and here we are. I've always been amazed that my grandparents actually managed to get together in the era they did (1940s).
Latinos dont have a "look." We are all the races.

Perhaps you are unaware that Black people are indigenous to the planet, therefore we are the original philipino. There's a group of them still there,they are Israelites who are called Negrito.

Why do these "smart" people can't understand the 3/5 of a person? If they would have been counted like everyone else do they not know what this would have meant?
Please explain 👂🏾
@@jaybrown3341 The south had a larger population than the north. The 3/5 rule did away with this majority thus allowing slavery to be abolished. That's it in a nutshell. It's not what a lot of people want it to be.
@@Lmr6973 you didn't explain anything...
@Lmr6973 The South did not have a larger population than the north. Part of the reason they wanted to start counting slaves as 3/5 of a human is so that they can be counted as part of the population. Prior to that, slaves were considered property. At the time, the South was trying to make sure they had the same amount of states represented in the government and to apply for statehood, you needed a certain amount of people in the population. Because they came up short and had tons of slaves, they started counting the dalves as 3/5ths of a human being to apply for statehood as a Slave State. As the countrymen made their way west and the population grew, the tensions kept growing because the South wanted to keep applying for statehood as slave states and the north wanted slavery banned. Obviously that's what eventually led to the Civil War.
@D Smith That was also a part of it, later on, but you’re still missing the main, original point. The Constitution never declared slaves to be biologically 3/5 human as a descriptive “truth”, rather, it states (explicitly) that such counting of them would apply specifically for purposes of the apportionment of Congressional seats among the states, as determined by the Census (for the House anyways). Slave owners wanted slaves counted as whole people for these purposes to maximize their electoral power, while those with abolitionist sympathies didn’t want them counted at all, to minimize slave owners’ electoral power. In the Federalist Papers, the view is put forth that it’s unfair to treat slaves as full people only when it’s convenient to their masters, while simultaneously denying them the rights of citizens, as the Framers knew the slave owners would. The compromise was a sort of middle ground reached less on principle, and more on the interest of securing consent to the ratification of the Constitution among slave states and non-slave states alike.
What we inherited from the British was that your status depended on that of your father, but American colonists changed that law to the status of your mother precisely due to African women being enslaved in Virginia in the 17th century.
There's so much history. No one has all of it. Bottom line we know white people are behind all the bullshit.

State legislation which aims to protect the mythology (fantasy) of the past of U.S. History, by banning discussion of a VIEWPOINT to discover what REALLY happened!
This desire conceal one’s true motives has its origins in the Constitution.
The pattern and trend of not telling the truth of what ACTUALLY happened in the United States is clearly and undeniably… by design.
The feminist has no idea how annoying she sounds to a black woman, attempting to explain her victimization. I’m doing my absolute best to empathize.
“I’m tired of being protected. I never get to do what I want.” Yes I’m criticizing and I am a woman...
The fact the white woman must prove she is a victim, and a black woman is ostracized for speaking up about being discriminated against, always given the advice, “don’t be a victim.”
- We’re being white privileged.
She's a preservationist of primitive ideals. Additionally, she drops a knowledge bomb about a topic but is unable to fully analyze and interpret. She sees it through a narrow lens. I'll assume her book mirrors that; this, it'll go cardboard.
Right on the onset of the discussion, the black gentleman was restless when the Asian woman started speaking, he couldn't sit still. It's understandable how he was the next to speak. In America when the government was created which was brought over by the British, exactly like the second woman speaking was saying. She touched on key points that I would agree on. It started with whiteness in America and that is how everything started n was measured. Really interesting to get all of their perspectives from their racial view point, then an now. I've only heard a small amount of the discussion, which was the beginning. Should of saved my comments till the end, hope to get back to listening more of this discussion, got busy. ✌️
He was restless and seemingly bored when every other person spoke, not just the Asian women.
Good Panel , Good Job!!
It has circled back around as class being the defining social construct over race once again.
Only is one, the Human Race.
@@mr4533 yeah. Tell our government that
the concept of 'social construct' is nonsense
Very interesting debate
Everything GREAT is WITHIN You. Everything WITHOUT you, Will be DESTROYED.
I disagree with the woman who announces that in the 1600 is when the white made it such an issue comparing to the native Americans .This started when the British discovered the wealth and the difference of the color of the applicants for the Americas were even on their map . Derive from envy of the African culture the music the skin tone the richness of the earth etc. etc.Which in hand this racial discrimination was brought on to the Americas centuries later . If you’re going to determine the facts of this issue was the issue you must go to the truth let’s start from the very beginning . Start from the origin , Africa
White couldn't survive more than 6 months in Africa because of disease and climate. There were some cities but most of Africa was tribes, hunter gathers. Riches meant gold and diamonds, resources and land for farming. Only humans were stolen. The rest of the wealth was created working the land.
Before the 1600’s Europeans never referred to themselves as White People.
Read Captain John Smith. Yeah, the governor of Jamestown guy. One of the appendices to his first book (not the one about America, the one about his Old World adventures prior to that) recounts his trip down the coast of Africa. After talking about all the piracy he engaged in, it then goes on to give a geography report about exploitation opportunities. He was already planning out how you could take these people from Africa and use them in America. He was a scout for financial interests and this was a report to his corporate masters, a feasibility study. To pull this off the concept of race had to be played up as a pretext. Sure, it may have existed before as a vague concept but they made a lot more out of it. For money. It's always been about money.
That’s when the English were beginning to be exposed to other kinds of people in mass.
@@robertsouth6971John smith was actually a prisoner while in North Africa. By that time the late 1500s the Portuguese had been engaged in slave trading for more than 60 years.
Did the first speaker really not know that the census was in the constitution? She genuinely seemed taken aback and that’s a bit worrisome for a person studying the historical construction of race.
18:30 (Start of legal construction of race)
At about 1:22.14 to answer your question its insecurities, the people that act like that is very insecure of themselves, not everyone is like that though.
Oh its all starting to make sense now. All that griping they are doing would be eliminated if they had just kept abiding by the naturalization act of 1790 !
No, that wasn’t working either because America had an industrial revolution that required a large number of workers. Once the U.S. passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it could no longer legally underpay its low wage workers, namely the African Americans, subsistence wages. That is why Congress immediately passed the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act that allowed increased immigration from around the world. The U.S. changed the naturalization act or immigration law to incentivize foreign born workers from the less desirable countries to emigrate here. Many British, German, and French peoples were experiencing a economic boom in their own countries and stopped no longer wanted to relocate to America.
@@whisper2284well said.
I like how they have to explicitly say a ''racial, social and legal construct'' just in case anyone gets any ideas
Jane and David were a bit muted because they are navigating themselves in a country that aesthetically identifies them and treats them based on those values. As educators, they have the real life experience and historic context that differently fuels their consciousness. Thus, they are unable to really dissect this topic to give us the sustenance that is needed.
I take that back. The 2nd speaker wuz 💯💯💯 he started off shake. But he told it like it iz
It was great to have a Black female moderator, but there needed to be a Black woman speaker as well as a Native American on the panel.
Yes, next time let Kaniesha, Tameka and Pocahontas (real one, not Warren as they call her) speak.
Video cuts off halfway to put it onto something I don’t want.
You can't have these conversations about race without massive generalizations. You can sprinkle in historical facts, statistics and maybe some biology but it will never define the individual.
Difining the individual is not the objective. Individuals move in groups. The groups general definition is what's operative.
@@noirsaba who's objective? Other groups? Other individuals?
It's all by choice. You can choose not to be in a group but you'll still be labeled by your appearance.
But you choose to be bothered by that or not.
If one can not move past this...then they'll be chained to their label.
@@noirsaba Seeing everything in groups is a rediculous concept.
All this shows is what a disgrace so called higher education has become.
@@CesarGarcia-og8rz what's best for the group is best for the individual generally speaking because of our shared humanity. For instance, we all drink water and breath air. So the group needs those clean and available and every individual in the group will have water and air. Their are many groups, gender, age, cultural background etc. An individual can fully impact a group. This is not to diminish the importance of the individual but no man is an island. Group dynamics is all around us.

"...there is a growing realization that whiteness is as much a social racial and political identity as being African, Latin, Asian or Native American." The sad fact is that some see that as "bad". It's okay to identify with blacks if you're black. It's okay to identify with educated or wealthy people if you're educated or wealthy. It's okay to identify with Hispanics if you're Hispanic. And it's okay to identify with Jews if you're Jewish. But perish the thought that "white people" should feel any sort of camaraderie towards other whites. When ANY group says what's okay for them is not okay for others, that is probably the best definition of the word "prejudice".
Are you kidding? Do you really think White people have a problem with their Whiteness or camaraderie towards other whites? Especially when we live in a world where whiteness is adopted as the default race, as opposed to all the other races that outnumber the white race worldwide. Believe me there's no existential threat to whiteness.

Origin of class system in America; "Bacon's Rebellion"
Reason for racial construct in the world;
Deut.28: 1-14 ~ Blessing
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
Deut.28:15-68 ~ Curses
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
The people who are the tail of the world's social hierarchy are supposed to be the head. The punishment for disobedience for the people called "Hebrews" is slavery, which they have endured pretty much their entire history in the world.
Every punishment has a beginning and an end, here's the prophecy of the last one;
Genesis 15
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed(Deut.28:15-68)shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 1619 ~ 2019 (house-bill H.R.1242) Jacob's trouble ~Jeremiah 30
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

Black people in america have always had a deep philosophical tradition in writing on the american experience especially on gender and race.
There seems to be so little focus on this body of work yet many wish to be absolved.
Conversations should start with understanding or at least that should be goal but It can't be believed that white people wish for reconciliation when the bare minimum cannot be met.
So much was done over 400 years to disenfranchise and dehumanize others, the same or more amount of energy is demanded from you to fix and educate yourself about these things if you wish to preserve your sense of a "good" or "well meaning" person.
People are just asking whites to be as responsible in fixing these issues as others are forced to.
@Sean 85
If the masses of whites had taken that responsibility those movements would not have been necessary.
The civil war was a draft war. Black soldiers had to wage a legal battle to be allowed to fight.
Civil rights saw the assasination of many leaders and an ensuing legacy of opression through the war on drugs begin.
There were some whites but something like 65% didn't even support king let alone black leaders considered more vocal.
Whites being present is only half the battle. Self education and reflection are also necessary to learn better patterns. If these were conscious actions they would degrade much more quickly, but subconscious behaviours can be intergenerational and unexplainable by it's practitioners.
Jacqueline battalora has work on the primary function of whiteness I'd encourage you to check out.
@@SG-hf8pj What reasons have for you for writing this rubbish ..."we know this country would only fully educate white males, ( removing some very important Americans, inventions and art) would lynch its fellows, rape it's women and enslave it's own children."...... How could you possibly know what would have happened? Evidence from other ex British Commonwealth countries strongly suggests otherwise with slavery being banned, voting rights for women, rule of law enforced, education becoming a women's domain etc etc.
Descending to this hateful scenario type of speculation detracts from your argument, demeans you and prevents open debate.
No civilization except western civilization ever eliminated slavery and no civilization except western civilization ever recognized the value of multiculturalism except western civilization. No other civilization ever engaged in a morall critique of itself for the benifit of itself. Western civilization is a gift to the world. In no other society would this panel even excist.
@@SG-hf8pj those movement where not done by blacks with the exception of civil rights.
@@davidwestwater1914
Those movements were done by blacks. The black labor movements, education movement and repeal of miscegenation are the laws many other groups rested their claims on not to mention black people have been the most enduring in the struggle for human rights in America.
We know what this nation would have been because we have a whole field called history. Altruism has never been the cause of these works you guys want a pat on the back for.
"We know power never concedes to justice willingly, it must be demanded by the oppressed"
Paraphrase of MLK Jr.
I'm not concerned with how "valid" my argument sounds to you. Validity should be based on fact and data and we know what each era has been like for my people.
America or "the west" is not the first empire. It is mot the first to encounter similar issues or particularly unique in any way other that it is the present source of many problems. Many other nations have been critical and reflective. Many other nations never had a system of chattle slavery to get rid of.
Many other multicultural civilizations have existed the ability to make these statements without a deep knowledge of other cultures is the exact problem I am illustrating.
Africa has the most cultural diversity in the world for example and many cultures has joined or co-existed for ages. The Indonesian islands also provide a space where many cultures shate space and custom. Native and indiginous people in the Americas had a broad pattern of sharing and trading between their cultures.
The white narrative is that you guys are more exceptional humans when you're just average.
What I would have said, if I could have said it, before I was muted? Had we all had the same opportunity we might change this, but Anglo Saxons conformed your process! The scholars of old, your ancestors pre slavery, has concluded these three judgements against the Anglo Saxon God of Saxons vets Patriots who are loyal ignorant victims of THIER upbringing! Our ancestors are true scholars, and it was wise of them to become “the unsung” heroes of your generation, know why you war? Yet, your generation is even wiser and more conformed than were we? Unshackled you are bridled by a conformist religion, thereby bound to “forever” fear of death! We as your ancestors did not know it as do you and your children! Our complaints land squarely in the laps of your UN who swore by oath and blood to uphold equality for our new generations in THIER youth! They breached! 1. Blind Trust, is no longer blind! Your awareness as a younger branch of our ancestral tree of life is why you are an endangered generation and the epidemic of your life is the Anglo Saxon’s gun aimed at our heads, this is true! King was shot, but it is the radical kill of a pillow that murdered him! Abuse of your education is ancient old, and no one thing caused it, but all conformed to it! Thereby, you are more self taught than educated! The societal woe of your existence was and is a systemic standard that has split: The Standard? Scholars! The Split - White anti Black! The outcome, War? Civil unrest! Your ancestors do not just promote equal justice, but esteemed honor of defense! The military must uphold the honor of defense, and not its discriminatory dishonor of hatred, or it is a disgrace! Last, the most discredited thing a nation can do is to disregard its history! Standardized lies becomes a systemic woe in all of the existence of life! Double Standards comes from divided nations like The United Stars of Europe! The Yankees and the Patriots disgraced the honor of self defense! As a outcome the domino effect is the collapse of China, The Americas and Afghan! Who is accountable: The entire Anglo Saxon race from get go forward! That is why our ancestors has rejected THIER offer to be our allies! Africa has no need for invasions, nor a white wall of games who lie to cover up their wounds! The Insurrection was in house! Africa Rest! Peace and Love from Ethiopians, and the Egyptian Kings! Salute To the UN! Keep the peace, reject war, but do not accept rejection of your heritage! Amen 🙏
My take away from this: everyone else gets lifted up by stepping on black people.
Your take away is correc...
you are SO right blks should step up and PAY their own way! stop counting on whites to foot your bills! i agree!!

How then do you explain the "Ancient Law" meaning your identity is 10 years or more.
Hmmm I wonder if they'll do a panel on "blackness?"
Why would they do a discussion on blackness when blackness isn’t actively oppressing the entire fucking world?
Yikes
Blackness only really held meaning when compared to Whiteness. You didn't really see African Americans put such important on blackness unlike you see with White people with whiteness. There were laws and atrocities committed in the name of Whiteness for no other reason than to control the majority, to distract them from the inequality that was made by society.
@@JuliaHoliday Whiteness as a term is racist and idiotic in the same time. Claim that white people had it easier and better is a lie. I am a Pole and you will not find any nation or group that sufferred more tha Poles did. We were enslaved invaded by Mongols Tatars Turks Russians Swedes Germans. We had a WW1 and WW2 destroying our country to the ground, we had been exterminated , shot , sent to death camps and Syberia. We have lost our country for 123 years and were not even allowed to speak Polish. Our kids were taken away and raise as Turks or Germans. We sufferd Nazi German rule and Communist USSR rule. I am a Pole and white and proud of it and I will laugh in the face of anyone who will tell me I have a privilege....

Wonderful discussion, so this is simply a quibble, but I am sincerely surprised that it seems none of the panelists had ever talked into a microphone before. "Oh, the audience might actually like to hear what I have to say?" Such simple things as having a stage manager take 5 minutes to remind everyone on mike use, or even a stage crew person to hand it back and forth would have made this discussion flow so much better. As it was, the clunkiness made it hard to hear at times, and disrupted the conversation.
An intriguing discussion marred by bad handling of the microphone while delivering facts and thought provoking opinions for others .
I hope that is the way he talk in real time, spit it out.

To say that whiteness was not privileged at any point in the making of this country is not factual when you consider the treatment of indigenous people and enslaved people and I'm considering indentured servitude. Whiteness has always provided the most essential agency which is the association with the conqueror. All class distinctions inside of that group sits atop the group of the conquered and enslaved. The founding fathers spoke of liberty while holding slaves! Isenberg risks the same marginalization of non whites by asserting class distinctions without stating the fact that quickly the lowest of the white class finds agency with the power elete as a buffer between power and the most exploited, the slaves.
Beware of the voice of satanic 😈 demon spirits speaking thru the human body that are lying. !!! Eph 6:12
The Founding Fathers were amazing men, and created a system based on liberty. They also discussed the issue of doing away with slavery.
To judge amazing people, who sacrificed everything hundreds of years after they are dead, is quite arrogant.
@@serpentines6356 my judgement is accurate. Imagine being a slave and having enslavers simply "discuss" ending slavery. That discussion went on for hundreds of years! You're quite arrogant for trying to defend those horrible men.
@@serpentines6356
"The Founding Fathers were amazing men, and created a system based on liberty"
Liberty for who?
@@noirsaba No, I am not the arrogant one here. You are. It wasn't just a 'discussion.'
I dare you to learn American history much better than just spouting the ignorant crud you are.
I am expecting to hear about whites in South Africa but sadly disappointed. Why is Apartheid and the new South Africa always avoided when talking about white race and class?
There are no white South Africans participating in these discussions. You have Elon Musk, who doesnt care, and then a bunch of farmers in South Africa still trying to avoid Black Africans. If they dont care enough to represent themselves, then it is no one else's job to go and find them.

Lol this is a university???? What a joke
im so glad we dont have "general education" classes here and start right away with the real subjects... lol
Thinking of yourself as white means that you accept and embrace a society that attaches social meaning to fair skin. Without the advantages of whiteness in this society, fair skin would have no more significance than big ears or left-handedness -- it would mean nothing.
the only reason this is a discussion is because they invented everything.
Well I have never seen a WHITE person, writing and typing paper is WHITE, where did that word come from (WHITE) I have seen pink pale people, brown people, black people, but never seen a WHITE person.

And if blacks were the majority in this country those would be white people on stage talking about blackness.
There is no whiteness.
If you had a TV that only had five knobs on the front of it. One for each race.
A whitness knob. Whites
A blackness knob. Blacks
A yellowness knob. Asians
A brownness knob. Hispanics
A redness knob. US Indians.
If you then adjusted those knobs a number of turns that reflected the representation of each race in the US, you would find that color displayed would be majority white.
It's a numbers game. The dominate cultural values of the United States are in line with the values of the dominate race. With some exceptions. Liberals.
Minorities want equal outcomes. Which is not possible.
Minorities have better than equal opportunity as a result of affirmative action.
It is by no accident that any discussion on racial inequalities always takes us back in time 400 years.
It is also no accident that blacks continue to portray Trayvon and others as having been murdered by police despite knowing that their statements are factually untrue. In both cases they are capatilizing on the ignorance and tribalism that dominates the black community.
If those speakers had to make their case for white supremacy using actual present day examples their arguments would all crumble to dust for lack of evidence.
There is no such thing as white supremacy.
There is white majority and there is white progress.
Is the white race and the white culture superior to other races and cultures?
Other races and cultures seem to think so. They risk their lives and the lives of their children every hour of every day to get here.
Bottom line.
If you are a minority in this country and you do not like the way you are treated - real or perceived - then get out.
Find a corner of the world where you would be richer and be treated better and move there immediately.
To stay here and complain just drags down the rest of us.
Very good lecture and discussion, however, having grown up in the south, in a upper middle class well educated white family, who never heard his parents or grandparents use the N words,
After joining the navy, I married into poor Mexican family, and for 20yrs, I got to know Hispanics, my daughter married a nice black fella, so all my kids and grand kids are Mixed, but when you try to live a life as free of racial bias, you become a outcast from other whites, as well as blacks who really don’t want nothing to do with whites,
so, when I moved into a black neighborhood, my black neighbor put up “no trespassing” signs and at night I have spot lights on me like I was in some prison, they don’t talk to me or anything, the only positive thing is they leave me alone, mostly,
when I was living in a white neighborhood, if you don’t go to their church, they also put up spot lights and do everything they can to make you feel about as wanted as a coyote,
so it has become apparent to me that fear creates fear, especially when no one understands you or want to get to know you,
as for Hispanics they’re fearful as well, but in a different way, especially since Trump, Trump has made things considerably worse, but in reality all he did was reveal the hostility and fear that always been there but hidden,
now with climate change, which put a very real existential threat to all of humanity, I suspect things will either get worse or we will come together to deal with with this looming disaster, so it is in everyone best interest to work together for all of humanity and life, hopefully!!
So Climate change is a game changer that will either destroy us or heal civilization, which from what I’ve seen so far isn’t looking good, especially with the war in Ukraine and now the Taiwan issue, they say it’s always the darkest before the dawn.. Peace!
Some interesting information and opinions and some appaling demagogs like David Ikard that was painful to listent to.
But it was interesting to watch the difference in his rethorics in comparison to others.

Race took their humanity
These panelists are very confused. This country was settled by British colonists, who fought wars .. eg, the French and Indian War.. to establish their domain. Over time, the US expanded to permitting, if not welcoming, non-white, non-British people... that was not something owed to black, brown, or Asian people. It was simply a decision by those originators (or more so their descendants), to open up access to the country, with limitations on who could be part of its ruling structure that dissolved over time. Why these panelists are acting like white people were somehow wrong or inconsistent in preserving their hegemony just shows they don't understand the basic facts of history.
The Homestead Acts Of 1862, etc etc
It gets mentioned in Clarence walker we can't go home again
