xanthony00 why are you afraid?

@iCupcakeMelanie He never said he was afraid and also we have a reason to be afraid because of our arguments being dismissed or fully ignored

i am tan

mac Stanford We (whites) are uncomfortable talking about race because doing so honestly often carries serious social and occasionally economic repercussions. The narrative is that everything is our fault, that all we have is unearned, and that we are always wrong. And to question this risks social and career suicide. So instead of being open about it, we ignore it and avoid it.

J Hammer exactly other ethnicities still attack us for being evil racists even tho we've done nothing wrong it was all our ancestors

thank youuu, my friend always says 'but have you ever been oppressed and enslaved and tortured and killed cause of the colour of your skin. All of you whites did that to us blacks' but me and her werent alive when that happened

J Hammer and many white people including my selves come from immigrant families from non colonial countries. for me that’s russia, italy and norway, but i still get told about what “my” ancestors did. all we can do is build a better future for all people and make everyone belong everywhere

J Hammer I’m white and I’m from Albania. Not even my ancestors did anything to these people. People say all white people used to be slave owners yet my country never had slavery. There is a reason why were called the land of the free.

People hate you because you all ignore or omit that it affects black today.

Do you think black people can be racist because I do I think they're very races not trying start a fight I just like to speak my mind please let me know a friendly answer thank you

Are you a Democrat? If so, why?

Bella Mitchell even though ur not asking me, I feel that black ppl can be racist! But not as much as white people in America

Where do you draw the line on n word? Are white people allowed to say it? Are black people allowed to say it? What about half blacks? latinos? Asians? Where do you draw the line and why?

@@bellamitchell5576 fully agree 💯

Empathy anyone?

Being white does not make you racist. Other races can be racist yet when you hear talk of racism it’s always about white racism. What about the problem of racism against whites? Like this video for instance it some how holds every white person accountable for things they have nothing to with. This attempt to ascribe all white people as evil is itself racist.

@Kirsty Birsty girl stop

@@jacobcouch7674 Black ppl cannot be racist.

@@9175rock your racist, deal with it, horrible and shameful

estelle whyte oooooooooohhhhg the white fragility.

@Traveling Guy where hhhhh

It is.

@@sam43532 so you are saying that just because someone has white skin they are evil? Don't tell someone to go learn until you realize how dumb what you said was.

kk ok African people sold their own blacks into slavery. They sold them like livestock to every ethnicity willing to pay back then. Slavery is a horrible thing, probably the worst thing you can do to a person. I'm very thankful that so many white men gave their lives and actually ENDED slavery in America.

Modern world in a nutshell

Yeah that’s pretty much the reason I don’t like talking about it

@Gat Glat so you're saying that all white people don't know anything about race? Yyyeaaahhh... sure, say that to the white kid who was kidnapped by a group of racist black people...

They wouldn't have to be afraid of being harassed if they were upfront that they understood the issue, which they clearly do.

They're scared to suffer from racism itself. Because they're white. If someone black said it nothing would happen, that's racism.

That's all people want. To stop acting like this system that adds more hate to us is in our imagination. Just be honest about history and what was done and stop celebrating our terrorist. Well, you can celebrate whomever you want, just don't get confused when people start celebrating your terrorist.

And that’s all that is asked of you.

In order to right the wrongs, we have to listen and learn about them from POC in order to help make those changes for our future. I've had these conversations and they are uncomfortable at first.

@@nicholewalker4903 I've never felt uncomfortable. I use my better judgement, logic and reason, to determine whether someone is worth listening. So far all my conversations on race have been productive irl, and I seldom hear the platitudes used in this video. Most people want a living wage, and to save for retirement while having good healthcare for little cost. I tend to make that the focus of my ideals. I don't care much about my status or standing. My rights and privileges are irrelevant. I do believe there are cultures and groups which need to be improved, but there also requires self help which is beyond my control. Policies like a $15 minimum wage and universal healthcare are a reasonable start.

Well you make sure you go do that

Beauty Queen racist say anything to bash whites or blacks who share the sane views against RACISM

It's always these far right extremist who use that liberal blame whenever someone brings up racism. I don't consider myself liberal or conservative. But, I'm tired of these right wing white supremacist thinking everybody who is for equal opportunity and justice must be a liberal. So what they are saying to me is, being conservative means- they are against every race having equal opportunity and justice. That sounds very hateful and selfish for anyone to think that way. God wants us all to love one another.

THANK YOU

Becky Arauz Thank you becky!

SUB4YOU its the far left that criticises whites and far right who criticise blacks

I like that girl a lot.

I used to wonder both like why black people were called black and why I was called white when I was a lot closer to the peach colored crayon

That's sort of the permise for Jane Elliott's work. Race is a construct, not an essential truth.

Caucasian is derogatory to people of European heritage dude. So is being called "white" we have culture and it needs to be acknowledge or none of them should be.

honestly i dissagree i thiink its stupid to lump all europeans as white.As someone who lives in europe let me tell you here someone from spain has a way different culture than someone from lets say russia therefor,i do not belive it is wise to say the umbrela term white culture cuz tehnically there is no such thing just as there is no black asian or whatever culture different nations have their own cukture independant from their race

Mathew Hernandez so what do you think about the blacks slaves that were sent to Latin America by the Spanish

@@shrek19yearsago78 there aren't any slaves in the Americas currently.

Plus white people is such a broad statement. For instance as a Greek, I can assure you we were never oppressors in the first place and many European countries didn't take part in slavery. I'm NOT blaming the descendanrs of them tho. They are in no way, shape or form guilty. If my dad kills someone I'm not a murderer but if their great great great great grandpa did, they are too?

Spartan Warrior So then, what do you think about Africans who were selling another Africans to slavery?!

Not true. Racism is more than just explicit racism its implicit as well. People can be racist without even realizing it by reinforcing racist social and political structures, voting for racists, holding racist stereotypes in their subconscious without even knowing (locking the car doors or feeling uneasy when a black person walks by but not acting the same around a white one). There are levels to racism. Not every racist is just a white man in a white robe

so r u saying racism isn’t natural to mankind-

@@bugfairy it is

☻ h e i d i ☻ did you even read the comment-

@Zazmeister lol no

☻ h e i d i ☻ lol okay then

Who hurt you?

White privilege .. mentioning race = racist. How is this a privilege? lol

Nah, it should be "fake Jews masquerading as white ppl"

Almost as uncomfortable as a person of color being looked at because they’re person of color.

They SHOULDN'T be. They had ZERO to do w it.

Kirsty Birsty yep I agree

Bo Lep why?

You wouldn't be uncomfortable being interviewed about something as divisive and ideologically ridden as race politics?

I agree

People just need to say this. This is a number one factor. Because not all of white people are racist, but they do think that others are as well, "other" people.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Probably because the majority population of America is white and white people in America have no certain culture, just a bit of food for thought, down think you're 100% wrong about this

Well if you're a member of the majority u will never think about race until someone brought it up or someone different came along. It's not exclusive to whites, it's exclusive to all racial majority everywhere. If u go to Mexico or countries predominantly brown latina, their color is the default there and they don't have to think about race unless someone told them or a black or white person came

Still can't have productive conversations, world burning, instructions unclear--

Literally no one is offended lol you can’t read

i love you for this

@@nowahblanco9935 I love you more

Thanks for sharing that history. As a Black woman, I never knew this. You need to tell your stories more!

Southern italians too! But we have curly hair and mostly olive or light brown skin (when isn't tanned). Thanks you for sharing that story!

слава брате

@D31 5M yeah man. I'm from the Balkans, more specifically Bulgaria and we were slaves for 500 years. Also there is less known fact that arabs and some black leaders of tribes sold a big part of the black people as slaves

Also don't forget what the Ottoman empire did to the Slavs

Its too late

Thank you! No matter the pov on race, there will be no progress without compassionate, non-judgemental conversation from everyone.

@Justin H usually because in those moments when white people discuss race, they say something racist. You can discuss race and not make racist comments.

Marcel West-Bailey i think he is more correct. i can talk race and not be racist at all and still somehow be called racist

@@jonathonhiggins9163 this is for Justin as well. Sry just saw this. Its hard to speak about this as I need specifics but I'll try to keep it general. For both of you, if you're discussing race and you mention something that's tone deaf it could certainly be seen as racist. Once again, I have no idea what the scenario is for either of you so it's hard to give good feedback but I will say, for my white friends, occasionally they'll say something that is racially tone deaf, sometimes racist in general and I have to give a 15 minute explanation as to why it's wrong. You could be disagreeing with black people on certain topics and from your view it doesn't seem racist but maybe you just need some additional information for you to see why your point was wrong.

There's no way to solve racial tensions and systematic discrimination if we aren't honest and if we don't discuss these issues

Rest in Peace Gabe The Dog cause blacks are still dying by the hands of kkk groups and getting away with it. no justice at all. but instead a reason. he's black so he must've done something wrong. yeah that logic. nvm you dont get it

Hannah Elzen Hannah Elzen the slave trade of africans started around 1300 mainly by middle easterners however the barban slave trade lasted 250 years. Also the extent and brutality of the barban slave trade has no match. Not to mention the europeans have enslaved and killed off multiple races and to an extent still does today. Around 1.5-2 million europeans were enslaved however around 2 million were taken from Ethiopia alone. Also, Of course yelling racial slurs is still racist & you used present tense when talking about the black panthers. I have no idea why you brought this up here go to one of the other comments but for now sit tf down.

When my grandfather died, he left me a lot of money. When my best friend (black), grandmother died, she left him nothing. For this, I do feel a bit bad. Not guilty, but I do sympathise. If you don't want to claim the bad parts of our history, then you shouldn't claim the good parts either.

Yeah, no. This isn't only about slavery, kid. There are other races too that went through oppression also. Heard of the Native Americans? Its so ignorant to instantly think slavery is the only racist thing white people have ever done. smh

+Hanna Elzen That's straight up ignorant. Of course people are suffering all over the world for various reasons, but some people are suffering FOR NO OTHER REASON then the fact that they are of a certain race. Racism is real. Oppression is real. Stop trying to act like racist has nothing to do with it. You are simply wrong. Accept facts and get educated please. Ignorance is contagious, stop spreading it around.

Black people arent a monolith

@Fallen OffTop Racist

I know this is a very old comment, but it spoke to me. I can't imagine what that is like. Being close to someone and not feeling like you are fully understood. I'm sorry, truly. I've been there in my own way, but it cannot compare to the current situation.

Ok

Youre a white nationalist racist nazi bigot who hates all non-whiyes because youre proud of what you are-if you're white

Joe Farrell Thanks for proving the point of everyone here who said that we'll still be labeled as racists, regardless of what we say. Lol ironic that you're also a White guy too. Self guilty much?

@@willco601 Thank you

the know-it-all liberal lecture

what’s the conversation that you were hoping for?

@@rvmlah_ I feel so bad for people of color. Life just isn't fair for them. How can I express my guilt in order to level the system?

Diana Soosio Yeah, did that happen over in the USA? It's a daily occurrence in Europe.

Yes that happens all the time in America like he said? What are you trying to prove?

It just seems like people a big deal over there, when blacks and whites either get along or don't. It's like the colour of your skin means your this way or that, regardless of your race.

Nebulin I have also lived in the USA, Europe but also a world traveller. We can agree to disagree I suppose.

That's normal to me. I wouldn't think anything of it to be honest.

@Abhigyan Banerjee POC that do what you saying are the ignorant fools that make all POC look bad. I can only speak to my self and it has served me well. I have been helped and made friends with people you would think would hate POC, once you talk to people for the most part you see they are normal humans and like and have the same struggles as your self. It just takes take one person to reach out. I will say in America we don't have systematic racism although their is racism and its comes from all colors not just one.

@Abhigyan Banerjee well I know a little bit about India and I would argue it is systematic, because india has the Caste system. Aswell as my Indian friends tell me that the lighter your skin the more privileges and economic opportunities you have. Their for it would be systemic. In America in almost every group their is mixed people its determined by the will of the individual to obtain status here and why so many Indians and other migrants migrate to the United states for financial opportunities they would never get in theor countries. As well as many more freedoms they gain in America.

PoC is no race tho, it just means not White

@@jaklm4221 actually their is many POC that their race is white. POC are not Aryan white or Anglo- saxon white but Hispanics, Europeans, middle eastern and north Africans are all considered white. I'm a POC but I am white because I'm European Spanish and American Indian, so the only part of me that's not "white" is my native side. Poc are many races and are not a race. I say POC so I can use liberal words they can understand.

@@jr303official I honestly don’t think we can approach this the same way as say a Black person, or Asian person, and Hispanic and Latinos are not all classified as White race in America, that has a lot to do with ethnic makeup and colorism plays a role in that as well. Many Hispanic and Latinos do not share the privilege of being White in this country and would classify themselves as a POC, as well. Let’s be honest many POC have a different plight of racism in this country. We get unequal treatment, and in every race the more melanated/dark you are the worst the prejudice is that you receive. I am African American, Mexican (my dad is a Mexican citizen, I can share dual citizenship) and Cherokee. I also know I have Spaniard and Italian descendants, so I have European ancestry like most Hispanics and Latinos and some Blacks. If I was classifying my race in the U.S. I always choose mixed race when applicable, but if I can’t I mark Hispanic/Latino and Black. Many Hispanic/Latinos do not mark white either way. As someone who looks almost 100% Hispanic, but have half a family who are African Americans that have slave ancestors, I am living a completely different and privileged life than they are. I recognize it everyday and have directly heard the racism told to my face, as though it wasn’t known to them what race I was. The color of my skin and my European features made it comfortable for the prejudice to come out. I cannot begin to explain the amount of covert racism I have heard mainly from the White race, but some from Hispanics/Latinos, and even from Middle Eastern people, who are also confused by how I look, and how comfortable they are sharing their racist thoughts with me. It’s an awakening when you stand from a place of privilege and I would never deny that I have. We don’t all share the same experiences, and some are made the enemy more than others, but some are faced with unfair prejudice more than others, and undeniably the common theme is racism hurled at blacks. Have I also received direct racism from looking as Hispanic as I do, yes! But, not nearly as much as the covert and sometimes overt racism directed at blacks, whether it’s a proud display or disdain openly or as spoken quietly in a shameful manner, it’s obvious to me that it happens a lot. Should we have open conversations and dialogue about race? Yes, we should! But we should never deny that there’s unequal racial discrimination happening in this country, and it’s happening more prevalent to the most melanated groups in our society, which of course is colorism, but that goes back to outright racism towards the Black race. The reason darker people in racial groups are outcasted is because their proximity to blackness. So again, we can try to educate and talk through the issue of racism, but understand your privileged situation and acknowledge that there are some who will never change their beliefs and prejudices that are bred in their values and traditions. That will keep the conversation going for generations to come.

But white people didn’t judge us as individuals and a lot still don’t! That’s why there needs to be a conversation. If we can’t talk about it then racism will continue to be a never ending cycle mainly perpetuated by white people.

Genetically Original person Whenever we try to talk about it we almost always get called racist 😒

@@corrine2317 literally

Genetically Original person I tried so many times to talk about it, no way, I am left scratching my head. I am called a born racist and other awful things.

The problem is white people just wanna dismiss the past history which is still very relevant

How so?

How so? Racist much? yeah...you are.

The problem is that you may see/experience many things that would lead any ordinary person to develop, over time, a racist mindset. (Seeing black people throwing trash on the street, black people making loud noises on a public bus, a group of mixed people screaming/being wild in a public space, black students disrespecting teachers). Even if the root cause of these issues is not race, experiencing these things can lead any normal person to want to avoid certain areas, certain groups, certain situations -rightfully so.

@@swanoto6314 it's just cultural. They're separation affects the development of their culture over time. In this case, over 150 years.

Pablo Battaglia 'white' isn't even a scientific term 😂 scientifically there is no analytical or biological basis for that illogical definition of 'races' 👎 'white' isn't a term in genetics, any actual ethnicity can display African depigmentation genes 😂 the eldest Natives anywhere are of African bloodlines by tens of millions of years. The eldest Hispanic (ancient Denisovan African) lineages are at least 400k years old. Africans and Hispanics have the eldest ethnicities by far and lead modern culture by far. Africans and Hispanics have modern monuments that are 10-60k years old and have had 'modern faces' for at least 300k years 😂 while African depigmentation genes can be displayed by any actual ethnicity, African depigmentation genes didn't flourish until 5-8k years ago through young Asians (Neanderthal Africans) and ancient Hispanics (Denisovan Africans) 😂😂 Race means African physical traits, it has never meant ethnicity (origin and culture). Not one ethnicity can claim any specific traits since humans are 100% African, 99.9% identical and inherited everything.. There has never been a homogeneous ethnicity, no ethnicity can claim any biological traits and we inherited everything from our one African family tree [AAPA]. Humans are not grouped by biological traits. "You and I, in fact everyone all over the world, we’re literally African under the skin; brothers and sisters separated by a mere two thousand generations. Old-fashioned concepts of race are not only socially divisive, but scientifically wrong." "Explain that genetic evidence shows all humans are 99.9% identical and do not fall neatly into physical categories some people call races. The differences among us-like skin color and hair texture-evolved as humans adapted to different environments. They account for less than one tenth of one percent of our genetic makeup." www.nationalgeographic.org/activity/all-africans-under-the-skin/

Janneth Peaches African hybrids lol we are all from one African family tree

I think we talk about it too much, quite frankly, and I think that's only causing more division. It's like what Morgan Freeman says if you want to solve racism and then just stop talking about race.

and so why are you convinced by the NY times to be obsessed with skin color ?

👍🏾

:)

That’s because the word race or „rasse“ has a completely different and absolutely taboo connotation in Germany, through the 3rd reich. We don’t discuss „race“ in Germany because that word holds very, very bad memories

This is much worse in America but don't kid yourself. This ideology has infected all Western nations. Feminism, BLM, Antifa, OWS. All faces of the same marxist disruption happening now.

Yeah Greece too.. we don't have terms or even the concept of "poc" or "non white". In the same family you can have so many different skin tones and hair/eye colours that makes it impossible to sort by American's logic. My great grandparents were very dark (as would be 90% of Greeks of we still worked in the sun) but still never questioned their "whiteness". To us all Caucasians (Scandinavians, Mediterraneans, Middle Easterns etc) are different shades of "white", then you have "black people" and "Asian" (meaning Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, Philippines etc). This whole connection of politics with skin colour is like the flipped coin of the racism of the past. Let alone using "poc" and "whites" is a terrible generalisation of cultures, countries and history. When is a star trek-like federation happening?? :P !!!

@@eternalconfusion6226 I dont think they were very dark from working in the sun..you need to learn more about your history..lol

Well yeah but Germany differentiates between German ethnicity and non German ethnicity so everybody who isn’t ‘originally’ German is different there

these are Jews pretending to be white...they are the people that controlled the slave trade but want whites to believe it was a white European thing

History is still affecting us today and white people help by perpetuating it. That’s typical of you people to turn a blind eye because it’s not affecting you. Wake up and stop being an internalized racist.

yeah. I am what one would call "black" but would just prefer to be called African or to be more specific, my ethnicity which is half sierra leonean and half Kenyan. Black is just too vague, has no meaning and a lot of negative connotation attached to it whearas my ethnicity is more interesting

This category thing only aplies to America. In other places it's more cultural.

Race is outside heritage is inside like for example I am white but my heritage is a bunch of those European countries race is what ever you look like most on the outside

Welcome to America A country that was polarized to continuously oppress their Black population.

Todd Whitaker You're right yet not exactly. It's a half-hearted cliche in our society, but we are all members of a single human race. In Africa and elsewhere, you have unique orders we can call ethnic groups or populations. 'West African' is only a regional designation, there are plenty of distinct ethnic groups in the region though. Pygmy is a description used for specific ethnic groups in Africa. Semitic is merely the name for usually a language family, academically. Many different ethnic groups are "Semitic," like I'm African American and I'm a modern Indo-European. Bantu and Nilotic are like Semitic, the labels are used for language families but potentially also certain cultural trends. They span many distinct ethnic groups of people too. When I use "ethnic group," I mean people who are historically, culturally, and genetically unique.

This is hogwash. Blacks do not suppress whites. Racism is centered in the subjugation of a group of people perceived to be less than the other group. An example of this is Jim Crow.

@John Burton he wasn't saying Jim crow is relevant

John Burton obviously you don’t know history, don’t want to learn it or if you know it want to act is you don’t. This is easy to understand if you want to sit in class and learn without interrupting.

John Burton you must acceptance of you and yours centuries of past and present oppression. Trying digging your self out of a 400 year hole and see how long it takes you.

@John Burton by distinguishing whites don't owe black people you're ironically categorising people according to their race which is against your point. There just needs to be an understanding that as a white guy I don't have to get targeted or worry about getting killed by police. White guys do get killed or targeted but there's never the question of being race. If a black guy walks up to you at night in an alley you're going to be scared. Why is that? What preconception is that based on? Because race is around all of us and we don't understand eachother. So empathy and compassion goes a long way. Rather than cry about how blacks need to get themselves in better positions I challenge you, be the change you demand. Individualistic change always happens before collective change, then everything follows.

🤣

It's true, I'm half German and Hollywood is doing a really good job to keep that fire burning. But I'm past all of that and know better now.

Thats kinda of a stretch bud

Yeah becuse Germany needs rascist hillbillies stuck in the 18th century or 19th century because of an outdated system

Really???

True! Germany is so weak minded now. Austria too.. I talked to these ppl that had nothing to do with WW2 they have guild for their great, great grandfathers actions. Crazy!

Vanessa Campos Hispanic isn’t a race

Vanessa Campos Cause it's only ever bad when white people do it, according to today's PC dogma.

Hispanic isn't a race, you know youse are technically white, right? Hispanics are a "Sub-Race"

AM&kids Hispanic isn’t a sub race or a race at all. It’s a culture, there are white hispanics, black Hispanics, etc.

Racist in a bad way? The Latino community has some major issues with anti-blackness and general racism. The Avenues Gang ethnically cleansed Highland Park for decades. I saw only one black kid back in the day in Highland park EVER and he was being put in the back on an ambulance after being stabbed. I came accross a racist Latino crew who would jump white and black people who would come around their music spots.. those people broke my friends jaw, they boot stomped another at his own house and I got jumped by girls and guys by the same people and I'm a girl and there are others I know of too.. this is what happens when you think a little racism is okay. I met a cop who would go on racist rants and no matter what I told him about racism being wrong he would just say "white people are worse".. he was Latino, racist and a cop and he actually had shot the wrong person once before, but he believed it was okay because that guy happened to be a wanted criminal anyway so the cop was "lucky". A wee racism goes along way accross a whole group of people and wether you are aware of it or not... Latinos are sometimes stereotyped as "racist" but now people like Amara La Negra are rising up to talk about it and create a change in attitude.

No it's not you sheep

smelly butt cheese

Lol ur logic "u can't experience racism or discrimination bcus ur white" I hate race grifters like you. Always trying to divide while trying to pretend to be morally virtuous

Latin is not a race. A lot of of them in places like America are not white (which is where the misconception that they are a race comes from) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ddiBG4V4iuo.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Mexico#Other_demographic_statistics

@Maurice Reed As a white person I have experienced much discrimination in this comment section specifically.

You automatically assume no one else can be a victim of discrimination. You are literally what you've just described. You've been indoctrinated mentally into a deluded cult

Maurice Reed that’s funny because it’s usually black people who discriminate against every other race but think it’s not ok to discriminate against them. Then they blame it all on white people and play the victim

BDA CROC I know, they can all have their opinions on us and negative stereotypes but because they are black they “can’t” be racist

Happy for you brother I hope mother nature deals with this problem accordingly hints the sun😂

@@onlythereal3233 at the end of the day we are all victims to the elites

Hannah Lee I don’t live in a white country lol

Culture of guilt and culpability towards white ppl. That's what the leftist medias and the spread of these opinions brought to the American society.

You're an entire clown if you think "modern day feminism targets all men" and blames them for the actions of a few. You'd have to go out of your way to not pay attention to what they've actually been saying and/or deliberately cherry pick some self-proclaimed feminist that has no authority on the subject and has extreme views and used her as the poster child of what you believe feminist to be

@@phoenixfunny4517 well ok, I'm all ears let's hear there agenda, is it toxic masculinity, is it just taking away masculinity all together, or do they still get mad at men for sitting with there legs open because they have an extra body part between there legs, or maybe teaching young males to be more feminine because it's bad to be masculine even though that's what there meant for

@D Gh anyone CAN be racist. And go ahead and say that ALL white people are to blame instead of singling out the one bad person no matter his skin color and just know hes bad because of what's on his inside and not the color of his skin. You are the problem

I grew up working class... And I'm white... Though that has nothing to do with my point but no one should feel bad for being anything

A majority of whites DO think about being white.

Imagine considering that a privilege 💀 You got some low bars in your life

HUH

Kim Spradlin Good to know you know the majority of white people

Khaulee Tooten Because they’ve been hurt. They’ve been violated. They had their own human rights stripped away from them. Something difficult to comprehend when you’re on the opposite side.

that's the outcome the educators hoped for

Anytime they smile at you or show an happy emotion it's usually the opposite

And? Ur point?

The real issue brother is our politicians using race issues to keep everyone in a state of fear. Their plan is too keep us that way so we become dependent on them. They fear what would happen if we all banded together.

ethnically american yes, skin colour doesn’t determine snything

I get you.

@Uilium Powell Well I don’t have a choice because if I talk about it I get shushed away and told that I “wouldn’t understand”

@John Witek Well, these people are obviously actors, I'm just saying my point of view.

There's no such thing as "systemic racism". So no, in Western society, there is no such thing as "white privilege". The true reason why racism *towards* white people is tolerated is because that very same silly idea of "white privilege". Some people think they have no rights to talk about certain things or have opinions or something just because some SJWs keep making this stuff up. No, there's no gender wage gap in the US, there's no "white privilege" and the rest of those dumb things that have lost their meanings. These are myths.

@@angryinternetperson6629 Past generations have a lot to do with current shares in power, finance, and self esteem. I don't agree with the whole "its ok to be white" thing because heritage based pride seems to cause people to put down other people. I always cringe when I see all black model magazines for fashion or whatever. Slim girls used to be hot a long time ago, now they sometimes get made fun of in certain communities. You only really love the image you praise. And the image you praise has to look like you. Unless that image is personality based. And America is not there and we know it. But who doesn't? If I'm a movie director with blue skin, and I hire only blue actors, I don't need to tell them why. And they don't want to. They're not personally racist but as long as I can use them for my agenda, it's fine. I just need the numbers. Don't ever ask people to question opportunities for ethical reasons. Women are the most educated and seem to have more support and leniency bit can't see it. I just don't think that's comparable to the racial thing. And that's MY opinion.

It's because they work harder not privilege

Never heard of as.ian privilege before.

Aw don't feel bad, I can tell by reading this that your the sweetest. Yes, many and many horrible things happened back then, but guess what? Right now is u, u can change what's now, and by being positive to other no matter what race, nationally or ethnicity, helps more than you can imagine.

It's over for you. Imagine feeling such heavy sympathy for deceitful persons.

privileges are earned, so work hard and stop complaining

Nicholas Perez ty mate :D

Klara Rotenmayer +1 you have a common sense ;) nice! 😂

1. having any colour of skin is neither privilige or disadvantige. 2. Accusing someone of being "insert accusion here" based on their colour of skin, is racist. yes, blacks can also be racist. get it?

TrollMaster300​​ Blacks can be racist. They can judge people by their skin color which is in fact racist. The ones that hold power in U.S. are not decided by skin color, so that statement is invalid. Who am I treating by their skin color (race)? I'd really like to know. Only racist can say everyone can hypothetically judge someone, based on their skin color? What an hypocrite you are. "I must be happy I'm not hanged and and eaten alive"? Are you threatening me? You know, that action is an criminal offense. BTW nobody is denying the past racism against african americans. In fact, I'm not responsible for that in any way at all. Blacks can be racist. That is not funny. Who is "you guys"? Who are the ones that are problem? Certainly not Ku Klux Klan, they hold no power no more.

But then we'd be accused of stealing cultures from non white cultures. There's no winning the argument so I just keep my middle finger up

Guilt is part of the never ending reparations process.

ofc you love being white you have things most of us dont enjoy your privilege

@@AJya466 bro why are you so salty jesus💀

​@@ItachiUchiha-ry2juits kinda what yall do white Americans have no culture

This would sound odd in Nazi Germany, but I guess white people "have come a long way" to diminish the plight of Palestine.

It’s not
