Anyone individual can be racist because of preset prejudices, but racism is more than individuals thought. It’s an institution developed from a construct meant to create a social hierarchy based on race, which obviously started when the Europeans first enslaved the African based on race. Therefore, the minority as a whole can never oppress the majority as a whole because of the majorities control over the institution.
Saying black people cant be racist because they dont have the power to oppress is like saying women cant be sexist because they don't have the power to abuse
@Superior McCowin black people can be racist and have been racist in the past and even now. If you a white boy and you go to the hood to play ball you will get hate cuz of your color. You are the minority and blacks are the majority hating on you cuz you’re white. That’s Racism. Even in the past in Africa any white people would be hunted and killed because of their skin color. Even if white people invaded first, that doesn’t mean that you attack innocent white civilians because of their skin color.
@Superior McCowin you can still be racist without the ability to oppress, racism is prejudice beliefs applied to a specific race. The ability to oppress comes from the oppressed feelings about the opinions the oppressors have. If i call you a racist word and you dont take offense or feel oppressed, its still racist.
@Superior McCowin you're not explaining why its a myth, and the fact of the matter is racism goes by individual beliefs, no matter how oppressed a group is. If an individual believes a race is inferior that considered racist no matter what race believes it
Facts, at first I thought of it as White Vs Black but its really just Racists vs Anti Racist. Alot of White people on twitter see it as White Vs Black and also Black people. Twitter is just Toxic.
Anti racists can be just as much of a problem as racists., because of the emotional anger that comes with being against racism, similar to the hate a racist might have. Obviously it’s the result of racism, but Anti-racists at the extreme start hating the other group rather than trying to educate and change the racist/prejudiced views. Not defending racism, just saying that anti racism is almost its opposite extreme
Bro I'm black but ik I can be racist, we ain't immune because of our history we still can treat people wrong due to their race, which is annoying cos some people think they cant be racist cos they ain't white but call out racism when it happens to their race black asian etc
P.N I’m biracial and I always say that anybody can be racist. But for me when somebody is “racist” towards white people it doesn’t matter as much. I’ve been called a thug and a white boy by white and black people. And honestly it hurts more when people insult the darker side of me. It doesn’t really faze me when people insult me about my white side.
Fr bro, idk if everyone just forgot but people were being incredibly racist to Asians at the beginning of coronavirus. Like have y’all seen that video of that Asian on a train being spray bottled just because he was asian? As an asian, I know we get a lotta flak from racist jokes. But our race doesn’t seem take much offense to it. We kinda just let it happen :/
I wonder can i not be racist because im irish and we were treated like black people when like rosa parks was around (this whole conversation is stupid)
Aswell like i think everybody has said the n word at least once but i think its actually racist if you say it to a black person actually trying to be racist like im irish so over the last 200 years England has opressed us killed us and causes a famine in our country does that mean there racist or just greedy
"Being racist towards white people doesnt matter as much" That is literally racism. You are saying that because of someone's race, it doesnt matter when people are racist towards them, which is racist
It's weird when people say "Black people can't be racist, it's prejudice" but to be racist you have to be prejudice, to me it just seems like an excuse. If you have hate towards anybody based off somethin that they can't change about their appearance/ethnicity you can be racist. Add whatever you want before or after it, at the end of the day it falls under racism.
So if i don’t like a big ass mole on someone face i’m racist ?? (btw that was a joke). second. Black ppl can be racist just not to white ppl. and tbh this whole debate is pointless because most of y’all can’t even vote
Women can't rape. They can force sexual advances without your consent but they don't have the power to rape (Its the same thing. Coming from a minority girl myself)
It really bothers me when people like to use the systematic and you need to power in order to be racist when in actuality that’s not what the definition says. It’s simple discrimination or prejudice based on race.

This idea that you need to hold some sort of power over the race you’re being prejudiced against to be racist is dumb. The definition of racist is being prejudiced against a race, and not holding any powers over said race doesn’t magically make you not racist.
Yea everybody can be racist but if you have power you can affect people with your racism. But that doesn't change the fact that every body can be racist
@slickityslickness It goes far beyond that. It is obvious to see the racism within the policing system, that's blatantly obvious. Racism is almost always shown through actions, only recently has it really started to been shown verbally (at least not heavily since the United States Jim Crow South if you know any history). At the end of the day, the power does lie in how you are perceived, and unfortunately and once again obviously, many fellow humans perceive people of color differently. And if a white person calls the cops on a black person...haha nvm if you are over the age of 18, you won't listen to comprehend anyway. Cheers

Heres how i see it. Stereotyping is literally prejudice just by definition and racism is an umbrella term that prejudice and discrimination fit under. Prejudice is the mental part of racism when we think or say pre assumed things about someone based on race. Discrimination is more of the social racism because its just reducing and restricting someones rights based on skin color. The last part is antagonism which by definition is active hate towards someone so this is the physical racism which includes hate crimes. At the end of the day prejudice leads to discrimination which leads to antagonism which are all fueled by racism just it gets more intense as you go up the line. I also believe that prejudice is something we all have and shouldnt be hate ourselves for bc it isnt until we act on our prejudices via discrimination and antagonism when it becomes harmful to society and others
Yeah but at this point racism is an umbrella term for all those things. When someone stereotypes another person based on their race their interactions with that person will obviously then lead to discrimination due to the preset prejudices they had for that person.
exactly making stereotype jokes isn't racist it might be a little ignorant but people who make stereotypical jokes like my self don't actually think their race is superior to another race and hate that race even if someone says they don't like a person of a different race if they don't hate that race and think their race is superior isn't racist but more ignorant and discriminative

I feel that me being part of gen z and my experience in life so far (I’m 15 and will be a sophomore this upcoming school year) I haven’t met anyone or any particular group my age that is truly racist and has hate and discriminates against another group. I go to a public school in Texas with over 3,000 students of different skin colors and backgrounds and I see mixed friend groups every where I look. And I believe and hope, by the time gen z are grandparents and old that the the new generations socially will not have any racism in them regardless of who they are
So your saying black people cant be racist toward another minority like Arabians, if you go to an all black school and you’re white and you’re getting picked on because you’re white then that’s racism
col uh what ain’t no way you wouldn’t get picked on for being the only white person in an all black school. There’s already racism in public schools so I see his statement as completely fathomable to happen and it’s definitely happened before to all races

I've seen all of them happen too
people say no because thats not the systematic blah blah blah. but thats the defintion. they have to make a new word for that because that defintion and the classic are so differnt
Racism can be interpersonal or institutional. You can't pull the "I can only be prejudiced" card when prejudice is literally in the main definition of racism.
thank you, everyone in the chat is confused because of what definition they used. if you believes racism happens personally, then racism can be from anyone, but if you're talking about the power imbalance between races, you realize that its extremely hard to be oppressed if you are a white guy, unless you go to ghetto, jail, or a third world country. that is still not comparable to what black people, asian people, or hispanic/latino people face.
I grew up in the hood bro and got jumped a few times for being white idk what u call that :/ wasn’t raised knowing people by skin color I was taught everyone is a brother and sister
Bro i get that... growing up white in bad areas you get called “white boy” and like antagonized by everyone in my neighborhood. You get picked on over everyone else because you’re white and nobody else is. Like any differing opinion you have gets invalidated in terms of hip hop, football, basketball, etc. Shit just gets annoying.

rac·ism /ˈrāˌsizəm/ Learn to pronounce noun prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. "a program to combat racism" The literal definition, doesn't include race. Anybody can be racist. Change my mind
muscle head nah i think anyone no matter their race can be racist, it’s just like tai said it’s learned. i’m just saying that the point saying “The literal definition, doesn’t include race.” is wrong that’s all
I understand that sometimes people will have unintentional stereotypes about people but it’s good that a lot of these people recognized that it was bad for them to think that way and didn’t like that they did.
I dont get why people constantly think racism HAS to be linked to some kind of power status. Racism is just the combination of stereotypes/preconceived notions and the discrimination of people because of those prejudices, no matter of the size of the confrontation (i.e. systematic racism, one-on-one racism). Therefore, saying some people CANT be racist is stupid to me. Sometimes it is the IMPACT of that racism that differentiates because of a difference in power, but even racism without wider consequence is still racism.
Yes. Im not trying to get robbed when i got to Africa. If you didnt get the joke, i made a racist joke, and this guy said some people use jokes to cover it up, and this joke was trying to cover up that im racist. That is the joke. Elaborate joke, eh?

there's so many valid viewpoints, i just think there's a difference between racism and systemic racism and i feel like these two got mixed together which made the question more complicated
There is no power balance on this equation. ANYONE can be rasist, doesn't matter the imbalances or "power" difference. Not a color issue, a human issue. I Hate that people change the definition to fit their narrative. No one, point blank and period, deserves to be judged by their skin color
Hey Dontai, Love the content as always man. One important thing to note that people like to mix up in this question, and its at the detriment to all races is confusing oppression and racism. Any race can be racist, and there are racists in every race. Oppression is only conducted from a majority or governing power. So like in the USA White people could be oppressive to African Americans but it couldn't be the other way around. And same thing in places like Africa, Africans can be oppressive to Asians but not the other way around unless there was a shift in power such as government. But overall any racism and generalization of any people should be frowned upon and is equally destructive either now or in the future. It only slows or reverses progress in the wrong direction.
We all have racist tendencies, but if a certain person is prone to showing his racist mind more frequent than the average person, the more that person will be called racist
But yo even though I wish this was a question that wouldn’t have to be asked, I appreciate you bringing up these conversations so everyone can educate themselves and understand everyone else. No matter how you see things there’s always more room for perspective
Okay, so deep down, I’m chill af with every race I got every color friends but when people in game chat go start calling me the hard r and a slave, that shit pisses me off and I might say something racist off, but I’m not justifying being racist.
“prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Ayo by this definition lotta the people who fight against racism are racist toward whites (This definition is just the standard google one 6)
11:06 The fundamental concept of racism is not institutionalized. While there have been many examples of institutionalized racism in the past racism in its base is the social or physical harm/discrimination against someone for no reason other than their skin color. For example, if a black man shot a white man for no other reason than the fact that he was white is racist. The same thing on a much smaller scale happens every day, black people and black communities oftentimes villainize white people because they share a skin color with those who have done some very terrible things, even though that white person is most likely not at all the same as those who look like them. Black people can be racist, every race can be racist. Racism is when you judge/treat someone differently because of their race and no other reason, not this weird institutionalization shit he claimed.
that's not racist, it's protection. A lot of you white man in this age today are very prone on harming our communities! You're not villianized for no reason, there's a reason for everything.
11:41 I think (as a white person) that what she’s saying isn’t racist, it’s stereotypical. It’s also true though, white people are born privileged. It doesn’t mean they don’t work hard for what they have (sometimes it does but not usually), it just means that minority’s with the same goals would have to work harder. Love the channel man. Edit: I understand that prejudice is a form of racism, but I feel like in this situation above it is less so.
question for the institution/systematic people: when you’re playing a game online and kyle calls you the n word hard r over the voice chat is that racist? and if so what system or institution is that part of
In my opinion I think that any race can racist, as the idea of racism is that you believe that your own race is superior to any other race. I think that everyone can make fun of their own race and backgrounds. However, it’s pretty antagonistic to do that to other races or backgrounds that you aren’t familiar with. But that’s just me, feel free to share your opinion
Racism by definition is judging or having prejudice towards someone or a group of people based off of their skin color. There are racist individuals in every race there always has been and hopefully someday we can all just be normal and civilized.
Where does it say anything about power or systematic oppression in the definition of racism. If you hate someone because of their race youre racist. SIMPLE
Yes and no honestly I think no groups will experience what jews and blacks went throught but if you hate someone just because of their skin color it is racist 🤷♂️
Hello Yes lmfao Jews got reperations and went throw Disney lad compared to blacks in history Jews are the most powerful people in the world economically
Laura you Jews went through worse for a 10 year span but overall not as much as black racism because they had the support and financial resources to dig out of their hole fast unlike blacks who have been held back by racist legislation like redlining, aka systematic racism.
All racism is prejudice but not all prejudice is racism and I think that's where people get confused. Prejudice is more of a blanket term for preconceived hate towards any group of people be it race, class, political alignment, etc. Racism is more specific as it's only about racial prejudice.
Someone gonna get offended and be like “UMM WELL ACTUALLY WE NEED DIFFERENT WORDS TO REPRESENT DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE I CAN SAY THE N WORD BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE ME RACIST BECAUSE MY MOMS UNCLES BEST FRIEND IS BLACK SO DONTAI NEEDS TO SHUT UP”
Ayo the chick saying she “needs to work on that” about white people I would say that’s racists, because if a white person has a prejudice against a black person that would be called racist.
asking if “black ppl can be racist” is the same as asking if any other race can be racist

Racism can be interpersonal or institutional. You can't pull the "I can only be prejudiced" card when prejudice is literally in the main definition of racism.
@@quota2.0 No one of prominence is saying that tho.
and even so all races can be racist either interpersonally or institutionaly
thank you, everyone in the chat is confused because of what definition they used. if you believes racism happens personally, then racism can be from anyone, but if you're talking about the power imbalance between races, you realize that its extremely hard to be oppressed if you are a white guy, unless you go to ghetto, jail, or a third world country. that is still not comparable to what black people, asian people, or hispanic/latino people face.
Bro his vids be so good I don’t even notice they an hour long
the idea of any race being above racism is assuming superiority, anyone can be racist and there any argument is likely racist
I grew up in the hood bro and got jumped a few times for being white idk what u call that :/ wasn’t raised knowing people by skin color I was taught everyone is a brother and sister
Obviously thats racist if it was just off of your appearance
Bro i get that... growing up white in bad areas you get called “white boy” and like antagonized by everyone in my neighborhood. You get picked on over everyone else because you’re white and nobody else is. Like any differing opinion you have gets invalidated in terms of hip hop, football, basketball, etc. Shit just gets annoying.
Inferno yeah but I earned my keep yk? Once everyone sees you doing something they fw and have respect for you earn ur keep u feel me?
lowkey 69 its racist
@@fiorellidante fax i understand what u sayin now its annoying that it happed to us for years and we where not just jumped,we where killed and sent to jail for just being different they aint even want us to use the same water fountain my guy . Crazy

Learn to pronounce
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
"a program to combat racism"
The literal definition, doesn't include race.
Anybody can be racist. Change my mind
“on the basis of their membership of a particular R A C I A L or ethnic group...” can you read bruh?
@@Ty-tv1ep so youre saying some people can't be racist or something
Tyler anyone can be racist trust me I am
muscle head nah i think anyone no matter their race can be racist, it’s just like tai said it’s learned. i’m just saying that the point saying “The literal definition, doesn’t include race.” is wrong that’s all
@@Ty-tv1ep That's not what he meant. He meant that it doesn't say anything about the race of the person who is discriminating.
Why the robot have a voice crack🤣 2:56

I understand that sometimes people will have unintentional stereotypes about people but it’s good that a lot of these people recognized that it was bad for them to think that way and didn’t like that they did.

Respect to Dontai for this one, you can’t change definitions to fit you’re narrative
Your*
Chat: yes
Dontai: *looking for a middle ground answer*
Anyone can be racist your race doesn't matter but I really love how dontai tries to see every perspective
I dont get why people constantly think racism HAS to be linked to some kind of power status. Racism is just the combination of stereotypes/preconceived notions and the discrimination of people because of those prejudices, no matter of the size of the confrontation (i.e. systematic racism, one-on-one racism). Therefore, saying some people CANT be racist is stupid to me. Sometimes it is the IMPACT of that racism that differentiates because of a difference in power, but even racism without wider consequence is still racism.
Why is that even a Question....
Deme Vision because it’s a question we all need to answer and ponder on
@@justlikejoseph I would've thought it was only of those common sense question in which yourself can answer to
Deme Vision any body with a brain can answer it but it’s the internet there are brained individuals
Its not about oppressing someone, or minorities, or systems. Its discriminating, or hatred based on the color of your skin. Plain and simple
It's both
Dontai: Women are not funny.
Also Dontai: laughs at a woman’s joke 8:13
it’s some people that make the jokes but actually have that in their heart and just disguise it as a joke to cover it up
Facts thats why u gotta be careful joking about that kinda shit same thing with nazi jokes
Yes. Im not trying to get robbed when i got to Africa.
If you didnt get the joke, i made a racist joke, and this guy said some people use jokes to cover it up, and this joke was trying to cover up that im racist. That is the joke. Elaborate joke, eh?
Heres how i see it. Stereotyping is literally prejudice just by definition and racism is an umbrella term that prejudice and discrimination fit under. Prejudice is the mental part of racism when we think or say pre assumed things about someone based on race. Discrimination is more of the social racism because its just reducing and restricting someones rights based on skin color. The last part is antagonism which by definition is active hate towards someone so this is the physical racism which includes hate crimes. At the end of the day prejudice leads to discrimination which leads to antagonism which are all fueled by racism just it gets more intense as you go up the line. I also believe that prejudice is something we all have and shouldnt be hate ourselves for bc it isnt until we act on our prejudices via discrimination and antagonism when it becomes harmful to society and others
wtf is this

Dontai: *talks about racism*
Donation: Woo's in the chat
there's so many valid viewpoints, i just think there's a difference between racism and systemic racism and i feel like these two got mixed together which made the question more complicated
Yoooooooo, that was a dope comparative hypothetical. kudos
Everyone can be racist. We need to stop looking at the group and look at the individuals that are🤷🏻♂️
Bro, till this day I still see some of y’all say ChingChong just to mock Asian people. Every race can be racist.
There is no power balance on this equation. ANYONE can be rasist, doesn't matter the imbalances or "power" difference. Not a color issue, a human issue. I Hate that people change the definition to fit their narrative. No one, point blank and period, deserves to be judged by their skin color
Hey Dontai, Love the content as always man. One important thing to note that people like to mix up in this question, and its at the detriment to all races is confusing oppression and racism. Any race can be racist, and there are racists in every race. Oppression is only conducted from a majority or governing power. So like in the USA White people could be oppressive to African Americans but it couldn't be the other way around. And same thing in places like Africa, Africans can be oppressive to Asians but not the other way around unless there was a shift in power such as government. But overall any racism and generalization of any people should be frowned upon and is equally destructive either now or in the future. It only slows or reverses progress in the wrong direction.
We all have racist tendencies, but if a certain person is prone to showing his racist mind more frequent than the average person, the more that person will be called racist
No I don’t have any reason racist tendencies bro
But yo even though I wish this was a question that wouldn’t have to be asked, I appreciate you bringing up these conversations so everyone can educate themselves and understand everyone else. No matter how you see things there’s always more room for perspective
Okay, so deep down, I’m chill af with every race I got every color friends but when people in game chat go start calling me the hard r and a slave, that shit pisses me off and I might say something racist off, but I’m not justifying being racist.
There’s a difference between racism and systematic racism. Black people can be racist by just hating a race. But they can’t be systematically racist.
Well it depends where you're talking about
My dumb ass really just dropped my phone and when to pick it up and slammed my head into the wall and I fell a dent🤦🏾♂️

“prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Ayo by this definition lotta the people who fight against racism are racist toward whites
(This definition is just the standard google one 6)
When that lady said Asian people can’t drive I was like
*What did I even do*
Be Asian to them I guess
Dunno what they’re expect us to do
Bruh, why is this even a question? *Yes, we can!*

I have no thoughts on that question lol.
“no neck beck.” I’m crying😂
dontai: asking a good question
chat: LOOOL SIX
11:06 The fundamental concept of racism is not institutionalized. While there have been many examples of institutionalized racism in the past racism in its base is the social or physical harm/discrimination against someone for no reason other than their skin color. For example, if a black man shot a white man for no other reason than the fact that he was white is racist. The same thing on a much smaller scale happens every day, black people and black communities oftentimes villainize white people because they share a skin color with those who have done some very terrible things, even though that white person is most likely not at all the same as those who look like them. Black people can be racist, every race can be racist. Racism is when you judge/treat someone differently because of their race and no other reason, not this weird institutionalization shit he claimed.
that's not racist, it's protection. A lot of you white man in this age today are very prone on harming our communities! You're not villianized for no reason, there's a reason for everything.
11:41 I think (as a white person) that what she’s saying isn’t racist, it’s stereotypical. It’s also true though, white people are born privileged. It doesn’t mean they don’t work hard for what they have (sometimes it does but not usually), it just means that minority’s with the same goals would have to work harder. Love the channel man.
Edit: I understand that prejudice is a form of racism, but I feel like in this situation above it is less so.
My man forgot about uncle ruckus
Ngl that one where she said only when i'm driving hit different
19:50 My man speaking FACTS 💯
question for the institution/systematic people: when you’re playing a game online and kyle calls you the n word hard r over the voice chat is that racist? and if so what system or institution is that part of
Systematic racism deals with more governmental range discrimination. You're just giving out a random scenario that does not even fit in the category
In my opinion I think that any race can racist, as the idea of racism is that you believe that your own race is superior to any other race.
I think that everyone can make fun of their own race and backgrounds. However, it’s pretty antagonistic to do that to other races or backgrounds that you aren’t familiar with.
But that’s just me, feel free to share your opinion
these are so entertaining when you and Aba and Preach react to these. Idk If I could watch the content without the reaction lol
Racism by definition is judging or having prejudice towards someone or a group of people based off of their skin color. There are racist individuals in every race there always has been and hopefully someday we can all just be normal and civilized.
I love the Chappelle mentality in comedy, everybody can get it. That is what comedy should be and why he's so funny.
Where does it say anything about power or systematic oppression in the definition of racism. If you hate someone because of their race youre racist. SIMPLE
Prejudice is a form of racism, it’s literally the first word in the definition. Therefore, anyone can be racist.

Yes and no honestly I think no groups will experience what jews and blacks went throught but if you hate someone just because of their skin color it is racist 🤷♂️
Hello Yes lmfao Jews got reperations and went throw Disney lad compared to blacks in history Jews are the most powerful people in the world economically
Campbell Dynasty IMO jews went through worse but for a shorter time. Black People went through worse but only because it’s been going on for longer
That's such an ignorant pov lmao
Laura you Jews went through worse for a 10 year span but overall not as much as black racism because they had the support and financial resources to dig out of their hole fast unlike blacks who have been held back by racist legislation like redlining, aka systematic racism.
@Joseph Martin Irish weren't as oppressed as blacks. They had legal rights while anyone who was black didnt.
All racism is prejudice but not all prejudice is racism and I think that's where people get confused. Prejudice is more of a blanket term for preconceived hate towards any group of people be it race, class, political alignment, etc. Racism is more specific as it's only about racial prejudice.
The fact that anyone was saying no is crazy
Someone gonna get offended and be like “UMM WELL ACTUALLY WE NEED DIFFERENT WORDS TO REPRESENT DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIKE I CAN SAY THE N WORD BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE ME RACIST BECAUSE MY MOMS UNCLES BEST FRIEND IS BLACK SO DONTAI NEEDS TO SHUT UP”
Ayo the chick saying she “needs to work on that” about white people I would say that’s racists, because if a white person has a prejudice against a black person that would be called racist.
i hate when this comes up in conversation I always go like "damn I gotta go" lol
19:00 - Dontai you are amazing and you said it all.
Does dontais ears get sweaty in his headphones??
The amount of times ive been called a white boy is insane, ive never even done anything racist.
