Dre's Lessons on How to Be a Better Ally May Have Failed - black-ish 

Exactly!!! Most of the white people i I know here in Alabama would curse me out if I brought up what Dre did

Same. At least Gary is trying. Most white people I know talked about George Floyd, but then never brought it up again. Gary showed he was at least trying to learn and become more educated continuously after the event. Better than nothing to me.

What would you have white people do

I got my own problems...

​@@ZackEdwards1234 You'll find that a lot of the problems white people have with the system only exist because some rich asshole wanted to close off the benefits of the system to black people. When you solve issues for black people, white people tend to benefit. Remember affirmative action as an initiative to end the education disparity caused by only white men getting into good colleges and only their white male descendants getting to reap the benefits as legacy applicants? Affirmative Action was put in place to provide higher educational opportunities for white women (also historically closed off from higher education) and people of color, and you know who benefited the most? White women. That's just one example. If you need a selfish reason, you will find one.

That’s what I’ve been saying. He does noting but get mad at white people who WANT to do something but gets mad at them 🙄

I wouldn't say he's privileged he did grow up a tough life, he's become bougie. He made it rich so now he's become a completely hedonistic rich asshole who loves showing off his wealth and acting superior to people.

I don't think he should mess with his children's education. They are kids, not tools to be used in social struggles.

@@marcosnonato I agree, so I wonder why you don't find it odd that schools in the US get more funding based on how many white children they have registered there? Isn't that using children as tools in social struggles?

I get Dre's point, and maybe it's because I'm not black nor american, but isn't that trying to fix a dam with a bandaid? If the schools are financed by how rish the kids parents are, that's a flawed system that gary isn't gonna fix by putting his kids in the school. sure, it may help a little in that specific school, assuming that, like dre said, they do have the funding and aren't using it, ans gary surely can afford tutors and extracurriculars so his kids education won't suffer much, but that won't fix the problem underneath. School's should be funded per number of kids, not per neighborhood. A system made to be flawed will continue to be flawed.

@@wasd_totallyreal_dsaw9865 The issue isn't that the schools are funded by how rich the parents are -- not necessarily. The issue is that school funding is dictated by the district in their catchment area, the residents of whose tax dollars go to that school. Thanks to redlining -- where banks decided they would only give loans to areas that weren't marked out in red on their maps, and those areas being where the majority of the residents are Black -- there is less funding for schools with a Black student population. This is how the situation started, back when all schools were segregated. However, when segregation was struck down in the sixties and white children were bussed in to integrate, schools suddenly found the funding to improve the facilities, the books, the level of teaching available. It improved things for Black students, but it didn't get any better, and in fact, schools in the North of the country especially are still very segregated because white parents are sending their children to better schools, and lying on forms to get their children into better schools outside their catchment area (not that Black parents haven't tried this too -- a single Black mother was sent to prison for putting on a form that her son lived with another relative to get him into a better school, when he wasn't living there). That's white flight. It's nice to want a better standard of education for your child, but running away to other schools to make it better for your white child does actually make the educational segregation worse for Black children, while ensuring that your own children only grow up making friends with people who look like them (which tends to make them ignorant of the differences of experience of others, which allows them to perpetuate the racist biases they pick up from their peers). The only way to change things to make it better for all students -- including white ones -- is to keep the schools mixed. The funding will follow the white children and make sure they're cared for, and it will benefit the Black children in their classrooms too.

The problem for the show, both Gary and Dre are doing the exact same thing. Dre's argument being; if the rich and powerful sent their children to public school, public school funding would increase. It would be better to use the Dutch system where each student is allocated the same government funding.

This family is exactly like mines ;^;

I grew in with brothers and ny parents damn near went broke sending us to private school. I learned a lot, but I never saw my friends..and they were like robots

It's only hard if you're not willing to do the work. If he sent his white kids to school and found out through them that the class only has 10 books to spare a class of 30-40, imagine the hell he could raise. He has the power and privilege to change that public school but he just won't

@@isaiahcaston4539 I know that... But let's be real.. How many people are really willing to put their own kids in the worst conditions. Most of time very few.... I don't they say aren't people but those are not very common especially when it comes to your own kids who will face the consequences on a daily basis not yourself.

@@ssissigui8846 the parents who don't have a choice are the parents who send their kids willingly. And public school isn't the "worst" condition. It's an option that's available to all of the country and scoffed at by the majority of the public because America doesn't value education.

You realize in this gentrification scenario, this “horrible” school will magically become better when all the POC are kicked out because property value is going to go up. These public schools will be “revived” just no black kids will benefit from it.

Structural change in the funding of schools is the only way for real change. It’s unreasonable to ask black and white families to keep the schools at a mixed level to boost funding. The system itself is racist and we need black educated ppl To get into power and change things. I don’t think Gary’s kid getting a possibility lesser education for Gary to prove a point is the right thing to do

Y be

Y be

So take two kids out of the public school system instead of one?

Don't worry latinos are growing..... We don't need a racist tv show for that

@@danj8235 There should be a Latinos Lives Matter too

@@Reyna_Amaturi we don't need to get to their level..blm are criminal... when vanessa was kill latinos should have come together and protest... Big in a peaceful way... Just remember don't matter if you mexican or from central america we speak the same language we stick together......

@@danj8235 You're right Thank u for acknowledging that ✌🏽

@@danj8235 grow in your Anti-blackness right Carlos? 😑

So guess you missed the episodes where Laura found the N word spray painted on her locker and Carl confronting the other officer for profiling Eddie..... Sad folks like yourself would rather pretend it doesn't exist as opposed to confronting it head on because you are uncomfortable....- you will live

Is anyone holding a gun to your heard forcing you to watch? 🤔

I watched one Black-ish video on RU-vid and now I keep getting recommended them, so here I am. However, I watched one episode of the show and stopped mainly because it felt like a guidebook to race relations for white people. No shade to the show, it just isn't my thing for the reasons you stated. It's cool watching a few clips here or there and I love Ms. Tracee Ellis Ross, but I don't know if I would be able to get through a full season of the show.

@@iconkid9887 One or two episodes is one thing. However, the storylines for Family Matters, Fresh Prince, etc. didn't revolve around discussions on race/race relations. I think that's the original commenter's point.

You didn’t think of them as a “black family”? 😂😂 you people kill me. That is literally what they are! A black family! Gtfoh!

@@travellingteacher318 I get your angle and their intentions my be what they seem...but let's think about the comment made for a bit.....it actually makes sense and has all the truth in it....this day in age we are too divided and focus on keeping up with social media and the entertainers...but instead what if we would all come together in our hoods rebuild and refresh any/or all of the homes schools rec centers parks local businesses etc etc and get rid of anything that's toxic to the cause and support all businesses of our own and not support any that are not(ex. corner stores) then there wouldn't be any room for any outsiders to come in and take control and run/pay us out..that alone would reflect us doing to work ourselves as a community

And yet here you are.... Giving them views. Which means they get more money. Commenting which helps them with the youtube algorithm.... Helping them get even more views. Thank you for donating your time to support this wonderful cause 🙏🙏
