Here's Why Racism is Complicated... 

Being honest would mean admitting that diversity is not a strength and acting on that fact. There is no data suggesting that it is a strength for anyone but those pushing this nonsense to divide and conquer certain countries.

Good luck on open honesty from the left.

We had open, honest discussion, up until Obama took office. The fact that a black man could get elected to the highest office in our country should have been the last nail in the coffin of "institutional racism". But Obama and his party revived the concept and used it to propagandize black Americans and keep them voting Democrat. The rhetoric has only gotten worse, as the Left/progressives felt new strength.

You’re not wrong Geezer but it’s fairly easy to push the collective mind of society to understand an important truth and what makes it true.

@@yourgrandmashouse1970 haha yeah, alright, I find that extremely dubious and almost ridiculous

No you reject racism. I’m certain you have no idea what entailed in America.

The exaggeration is propelled by a system that profits from it. It's major proponents are elitists.

Same here dude. But in my case, I figure it’s different for 2nd and 3rd generation immigrant kids that aren’t white, and have seen what work ethic and societal investment has done for our families. I’m 3rd generation Mexican-Cuban and my grandfather was a butcher, my father owns an auto repair shop, and I am a mechanical engineer. Never in my life have I felt like I was held back by anything but my natural talent and my will to convert those talents into marketable skills. Engineering school was miserable. 4-5 hours of sleep every night, 8 hours of commuting per week, working to pay bills, and incredible academic rigor. I wanted to quit every day. I chose to keep going and now I have a good career. Makes it extremely hard to have a lot of sympathy for those who say the system is keeping them down.

@@degui1224 In 2022 a black man can be president, be General of the Army, be a CEO of a fortune 500, go to any university in the country work in any position they desire, in 2022 America, are we all going to sit here and pretend the country hasn't changed at all from 1940?????

@@degui1224 This way of thinking is dangerous. You’re not even black, yet you’re going to generalize the population. And certainly, when you have almost 13% (a very small amount) of the population that typically resides in the same poor neighborhoods around cities, then obviously they will share similar stories. This doesn’t mean you can generalize their thoughts though.

@@ajp8849 is this a joke? Spamming me on BTC/ETH investments? I KNOW this isn't Dr Peterson. Gimme a fucking break!

Look up James Scotmore

@@pirupami9746 hey there, I did look him up and found what he has to say interesting because he espouses openness to our realities, with an emphasis, IMO, on kindness. However, I don’t think that there is no meaning to life. We just don’t know why we’re here. Hence the collective emphasis on religion, in the West especially. And think about the fact that one man, whether real or mythical - Abraham- gave rise to three different religions that “fundamentally “ cannot relate. In many ways, this reality is like a purgatory, if not an outright hell. There are many examples of union with a unknown seemingly higher power by many mystics in the past, and I am speaking about mystics of many different “faiths”. The forgotten element is prayer. Yep. That simple. And yet not really. The hypocrisy of those who claim to be the righteous ones, always in a public setting, is that they don’t have the first clue. Learn how to pray. “Alone with the alone”. Read Corbin if you can. And that’s only from an Islamic perspective. As for the “noise”, which mythically led to “ the great flood”, in more than one religious/mythical sense, learn to ignore it. This is not an easy task to be clear. But it’s necessary in order to see past the morass of collective thought. That same collective force which leds to “woke-ism” and cancel culture - the current terms attempting to describe something which is far older, and recurrent in history. If this sounds lke cryptic nonsense, then you’re not ready. “Haven’t done your homework.” That’s all I’m able to say.

Look up Martin Butler

@@pirupami9746 Butler is relevant, especially what he has to say in The Corporeal Fantasy. I would recommend you read up on Pre-Socratic philosophy --especially Empedocle's views if you're not aware of them because he discusses the importance of paying attention to sensory awareness. In this sense, a lot of folks are 'asleep" as Butler describes. And it's because they're not actively processing their sensory awareness. This is the key to mystical awareness. But it's obviously not easy to do. Reading and learning about ideas is one thing, while processing these ideas and finding workable solutions is completely different. This is why Dr Peterson is so impactful. Individually, through his own process of development, and then through his work as a clinical psychologist, he possesses a wider understanding of the human condition than most. But ultimately we all have to undertake these "processing" steps ourselves. The prioritization of outer experience, and the importance of Ideas, often those of "Others" (whether they are scientific, religious, or political (!)), is given the ultimate primacy in Western Culture, and unfortunately draws one away from the "Inner Person". This is not something that can be shared or transferred to a person through a book, a lecture, or a one-on-one conversation. It must be personally experienced. It reminds me of the ridiculous unfortunate comments made in 2012 by Neil DeGrasse Tyson about Islam, speaking about Al-Ghazzali's writings specifically, being responsible for the decline of Science. The same folks who experienced a Golden Age while the Western World (and Christianity specifically as a world view) was in decline. He read Al Ghazzali (likely THE INCOHERENCE OF PHILOSOPHERS) but didn't "get it" and then spewed his opinion, based on his own Scientism.

@Godwinsname A .. if your traits as an individual r being discriminated by a Marxist. It's racist..

So true

True!!!

I have the same question for most asians, a lot of asians think they get discriminated, but i would ask is it just a bad person with bad temper. I got yelled at by a white man when i ride a bike on street. I don't take it as discrimination, just a mere bad manner.

Exactly. These stpd people project the motive too easily and with zero evidence.

Not artificially produced. It's exaggeration. But when you live in a society where you are a minority, it is easy to think people ALWAYS see your minority status...and exclude you or mistreat you upon that difference. And if you are in wrong environment, you can have an exaggerated experience. Being born in Boston in 1962, I saw an incredible amount of racism. And John is spot on! It lasted until about 1991. For me it lasted until 1994 when I left the trades. And it's not like these people are dead. They may be less racist today, but they are still not excited if their grand daughter brings home a black guy. We all need to be more honest. We all can do better.

@@TrillEverything Good comment. Also, people tend to gravitate to others of their own kind, not just race, but class and cultures and subcultures. I don't think that's racism, but something that happens all over the world and has to do with comfort. But I think that can be mistaken for racism when a person is in a minority. That's when people start being worried about microaggressions, etc., because they don't quite feel accepted as part of another group, or like they are understood. I think all people should make greater efforts at making others feel welcome.

@Satoshi Nakamoto No that's literally the definition: In psychoanalytic theory, denial is a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

@Kathryn Wilson Society has gotten better and I agree racism should not be exaggerated but at the same time racism is very very real and has very real consequences to already traumatized groups. Again the problem is that white people have a monopoly of power so their shadow projections are more easily internalized by less powerful groups. I do not believe that racism is the biggest issue for African-Americans but I do believe historical trauma and internalized low self concept is the biggest issue, racism from white people is just the icing on the trauma cake.

My mom who is only 59 years old, spent the first years in her life in an apartheid like system in the south where she was not able to drink water from certain fountains, go to school with white people, go to non-colored bathrooms, etc. That was her first 7 years of life.

Yeah cause Africans love blacks from America. 😆

this guy is very hard to listen to. there is so much wrong here that its hard to know where to start. there is no institutional racism against non-whites in the united states, or in the wider western world. there are laws written to specifically benefit non-whites at the direct expense of whites. these countries are almost all losing their white majority at the same time. if there were "institutional racism", how do these things occur simultaneously or just each on its own? also, give specific modern day examples. the "inequities" are not a result of racist attitudes. they are a result of genetics and the extended phenotype. arguing that echoes from the past are a current issue is a "pose" to mitigate personal responsibility of the black individual, the black parent, and the black community as a whole, specifically their horrendous leaders and excuse making speakers, like this guy. the portion about wasting your life basically attempting to blame whitey for your ills is on point, but then again, what did you just do the minute before you said that. he is hedging. the truth about black kids not doing as well on standardized tests is because they have a lower average iq. plain and simple. this guy obviously has a higher iq and either projects it onto others, expecting the same out of them or is in denial of the plain fact that there is a full standard deviation difference between blacks and the national average iq levels. the real problem here is calling that fact "racist", or implying that a person that would say such a thing "racist". thems the breaks kid. like my black buddies would say "it is what it is." all of this talk about the "test is racist" is the left's brand of racism of lower expectations. the real problem here is changing standards to accommodate blacks instead of funneling iq variations into where they fit. color shouldnt matter. performance is all that matters. if you cannot pass a standardized test, it isnt because of your skin color, its because you either simply do not possess the aptitude or didnt put in the work required. the issue comes in when blacks fail en masse, and the egalitarians cannot explain it away and must resort to fixing the thing that proves their worldview inadequate by lowering the standards. saying that the tests are racist in todays world is likely more a derivative of the cultural marxism (ideological subversion, critical theory, or active measures - whatever label you would like to place on it) that we are experiencing which seeks to enforce an oppressor/oppressed dichotomy on our society so that they can gain power through the echo chambers of the left, than a plain excuse for why failure is prominent. i do not think that this guy is even aware of its existence. by "pose", he means that its a way to excuse black failure at every level of societal measure by claiming racism. watch the news. it isnt about racism. its about genetic dispositions and plain inequality in the phenotypical level between the different human phenotypes. you want to claim there isnt phenotypical differences and that we are all the same? explain the NBA. the NBA is an example of a closed and complete free market system that rewards value with dollars. they do not care what color you are, or if you are still basically a child. they dont care if you were poor or what situation you are from. they will reward the best basketball players with the most money. period. now explain why the player base in the NBA is consistently ~75% of african american stock while maintaining that we are all the same. also consider the fact that this ~75% is derived from a national talent pool that is only ~15% african american. i understand that there are more "world" players these days but a) those are mostly europeans which counters this argument, and b) this trend is decades long. go ahead. tell me why this happens in a free market system based solely on performance while maintaining an egalitarian worldview and that genetics dont matter and that human taxonomy shouldnt be applied to include the phenotype level. ill wait. the fact is that when black do well, no one cries racism because there is no reason to excuse failure. its really sad that there are discrepancies. but that doesnt erase them. the patterns are plain as day to anyone paying attention. it doesnt stop at education either. people are just so afraid to speak the truth because they are scared to be called racist. that, to me, is not the worst thing you can call me. i would much less like to be called dishonest or to have a lack of integrity.

I don't think he is necessarily. I think it's plausible that standardized testing could discriminate against black people. Whether or not that's actually the case, I'm not sure. He makes it sound like the idea, in and of it self, isn't at all plausible.

Well said, and a superb observation my friend. I realized that when John McWhorter started talking about the exaggeration of racism in todays time.

True.

Their motivation is to divide and conquer. There is no data suggesting that "diversity is a strength", in fact, plenty of data shows that the exact opposite is the case.

It should be obvious to most people that the predominant reason black people are not performing as well as white people is due to racial discrimination in the past, leading to a lack of generational wealth + higher black incarceration, which in turn leads to poverty due to the lack of social security in America. And enough studies have shown a direct correlation between poverty and crime, which keeps the cycle alive.

There's a lots of huge set backs for the black community. Most of them designed specifically to set them back for the benefits of whites who didn't want to have to compete with them. The deal essentially wasstruck with poor whites. If you just make sure blacks are at the bottom of the ladder below the poor whites they'll be on board.

You know what I think, integration was deeply misunderstood by black America people. They weren't supposed to give up everything, they were supposed to continue to build their own establishments while being able to access the larger market. Now we live in an age where ALL of their markets are completely monopolized and they don't have breathing room for their own inventions/ successes, they have to be "included". And this realization, the lack of opportunities and control comes out extremely hostile. For example: The Gaming industry was developed by white and Asian cultures simultaneously, now they want diversity but gaming has been a thing since the 70's with established characters and lore and culture. You can't suddenly implement new diverse characters that weren't established from the beginning. It feels like you're jumping on a band wagon you didn't help build... but here's the kicker - a black man named Gerald Lawson helped revolutionize the cartridges, why didn't he help recruit more black creators? It's too late to cry about it now, rather start from scratch.

If you go to the full interview (link above), you'll see that it was recorded on September 27 (probably about when McWhorter's book was published)

The "presupposed" victimhood label needs nuance. Being a victim of racism is not atypical in America, especially if you live in certain environments and around certain ethnocentric cultures. Victimhood means what? Nobody gets up in the morning and says their victimhood prayers. White people like the word because it absolves them from having to deal with the reality of racialism in this country and other countries. The question is can you fight racist instances in your life without creating an environment that stifles personal productivity and at the same time doesn't make members of the dominant culture victims themselves. In the past 2 years I'm seeing more victimhood in other races...for the identical reasons "that black people" complain about. This is reflected in the CRT craze. If you ask 100 black people in the black community have they ever heard of CRT, they'd probably think you meant CPR. I live in a black community. I've never heard CRT mentioned by any Black individual...ever. In John's words. It's over Exaggerated.

I agree with you @Patriot, the pre-supposed victimhood, the entitlement without effort-these things are what is against a race-not another race.

@Satoshi Nakamoto Excuse me. Why do you think these scholarships "for need" exist? And most need based scholarships in the US go to whites, as they are the majority. Similarly, most welfare recipients are white for the same reason. You are writing like you have not been in this country very long. And I mean that honestly. Whatever set asides that are given to blacks and Latinos are miniscule...even if they unfairly target Asians. The impact is an exaggeration...fair or not.

@@Crystalblue58 "Not Earned"? Outside of Standardized Tests, where do we see this "not earned" acquisition? There is exaggeration and victimhood on both sides of this issue.

Like Jesse Smollet, he is fantasizing about being victimized. The guy was a dolt.

​@@TrillEverything I wouldn't expect black people to know what CRT is. It's not about them knowing exactly what it is, it's about the ideas behind the theory.

White people don't like that they are the ones with poor attitudes sometimes. It's not in the past. It's very recent. Lots of modern white people are racist towards professional black folks and they have to suck it up. It's not exaggerated.

Eventually rhr in group preference for what is considered white was suppressed enough and now we don't even think about it anymore.

It'll never happen. Humanity has always been and always will be divided into tribes. If white people go to Africa, they will get even worse racial treatment than blacks get in America.

@@Shhhhhhhhhjj The fatigue you are talking about exists for any outsider group living in a society designed/run by the majority group - a flaw of democracy/culture. It's not solvable unless you move to a place with only one racial group. And even then, there will be disputes and discrimination based on differences because these problems are part of human nature. That's why he's right about activists' approach to racism being flawed and disempowering. These ideas about microaggressions, subtle personal racism that can't be objectively proven, and similar narratives are useless for societal progress. They can't be objectively measured, so they are just personal opinions/complaints. And thus, policy and plans can't improve these things because they have no objective basis. So the only purpose of these CRT/CRT-like concepts is for individuals to use them to acquire social/political power, but it doesn't solve any real-world problems. Instead, they perpetuate the very things that we want to get away from - they promote the racialization of everything. And that kind of thing boxes people in, forcing them to choose sides, thereby perpetuating the same racial biases forever. So there is some truth to the statement that eliminating more racism requires us to stop talking about it. This should be obvious, as you can't define everything in racial terms and expect racial ideas to lessen - it's delusional.

You're no different than those people who claim being bullied while it's their ancestors being bullied by other races. You're taking all the glories from yours.

@@zhouyou28 Correction, I have, and continue to, invent plenty of things. As do the rest of my nation. That is why we continue to innovate, leading the world in many aspects.

@@JoeBlowUK in your dream, properly. A guy invent things spend time on internet express his subtle racism. Highly doubt you do, by the way. You're not leading, more likely following the U. S behind like a puppy. If you still believe you 're leading you should get your head check with reality. And you prove my point by taking credits from other brits. I doubt a countrys success is contributed by guys like you. The real contributors are too busy to contribute, not spend time here to show his superiority just by claiming his from UK

@@joer9156 why?

Yep. It doesn't seem this gets better.

Modern society has adopted Epicurean philosophy en masse

@@Spyblox007 I don't know if what Joe R is saying is absolutely true, but the idea is that you can control the whole world if you keep people at odds/divided like this. One could argue that this is how globalism has been able to be implemented so completely. And it does go into the concept of "never again," referencing the Holocaust (i.e., if they control the world through the banking system, the world's most powerful governments, etc., then something like that tragedy wouldn't be possible ever again). The power they have over the global system would likely ensure it. Thus, they promote destructive beliefs/behavior toward the other cultures they deem a threat to their power. That's the idea, as I understand it at least.

Exactly, I’ve never heard that either.

I never heard it until recently on social media. There are idiots now claiming that math is racist. It's not well-reasoned academics making these claims but rather ignorant activist types who know very little but are given prominent platforms to spew this nonsense.

Did you not hear what he saying about red lining? These neighborhoods were divested from in the first place simply because they were predominantly black. Past discrimination has effects on generational wealth, and more poverty equals more crime generally speaking. It’s a chain effect - sorry, you can’t untie the past from the present. (And Candice Owens as a “Prominent figure in academia” lmao) Btw mass incarceration (re: present discrimination for nonviolent crimes) is most likely the #1 cause for fatherless black homes 🙄

@@Bill-ou7zp Exactly. Lots of people in this comment section don't seem to understand that a lot of your success in life when living in a country with little to no social net comes from generational wealth, something black people have not been able to create as much due to past racist laws and attitude. Another one is household conditions, and it has been proven countless times that those who grow up in poverty are more likely to do crime. Combine this with the past racist attitude and you have a disproportionate amount of black people in jail, especially men and thus fathers. Lack of generational wealth in combination with bad households are the root cause of disproportionate black suffering. Inherent racial biases are there but they are not the main problem. If we want to fix this problem we should look at the dire American Prison complex and the lack of social security. However, I do agree that we should thus not focus too much on inherent racial biases from, example, white to blacks. If the black community put the same energy into achieving a better social security net and a reform of prison complexes we would actually see improvement imo.

​@@Bill-ou7zp As if investment or mortgages would have changed anything lmfao. How many Marshall plans worth of aid have gone to their "communities" and countries of origin? Nothing to show for it but corruption, crime, and more begging. Even if they had been successful from the very beginning, they would have still been used by the true elites as a wedge/splinter group to destroy the autonomy and liberty of western citizens. But it doesn't matter anyways, they and other rainbow coalition groups won; considering they make up 90% of the planet and are set to engulf our countries by around 2050. Enjoy our land! You totally earned it!

@@Bill-ou7zp We can’t keep using past injustices to justify current inequities

People love to say "fatherless homes are the cause" as a cop out answer, but never dig deeper into that. What do you think caused fatherless homes in the first place? Maybe because the "leaving fathers" didn't have a good childhood either and didn't go far. And that "leaving father" didn't have a good childhood because he was raised by blacks living in the 40-50s who never got a fair shot a life due to segregation, red lining, mass incarceration, and general discrimination in the workplace that denied them the ability to build any generational wealth or relevant skills. These things aren't independent of one another. Racism that happened as early as the 40s absolutely has a direct impact on today. A 20 year old today has grandparents that grew up in the 30s-40s, meaning any economic hardship they had as a result of jim crow, glass ceilings, and other racist policy directly affected the childhood and quality of life for the 20 year old's parents, and in turn that 20 year old today. My grandfather who worked as an elevator engineer in 1960s-70s New York couldn't get a promotion past a certain level, despite him being excellent at his job and even still training those who were at a "higher level." When he asked why, his boss straight up said that it wouldn't look good because the higher ups wouldn't "want to see a negro moving up the ladder." This is a true story too, I've seen the handwritten letter from that boss. And that's just a minor, minor example of how skin color would prevent people from making more money and amassing more generational wealth for their children. I'm in no way "struggling" today, but I'm also not an average example, since my grandfather came to the US from another country. His family in Trinidad had built up some wealth over the years that let him do that, which is completely different from blacks in the US, whose ancestors had absolutely NOTHING when they arrived as slaves, and even at the turn of the 20th century, were still treated lower than any other skin tone in the country through legal loopholes. Black neighborhoods that were poor and rundown with crime in the 40s-60s are still the same poor and rundown areas. Yes, you CAN have live in those situations and still pull yourself out, but that's not at all the normal. And what does it say when you think that for in order for the average black person to succeed at the same level, they need to have a better "state of mind" and exert a much better work ethic? The overwhelming average can't do that. Blacks were legally denied property, job positions, credit, equity, etc. up until only the 60s-70s, with most of it ending "for good" only just by the 90s. Whites didn't have that happen to them. Blacks were specifically excluded out of G.I. bill benefits that granted whites huge boosts to property ownership and credit. Those are both things that exponentially increase in value over time. That means on average, whites had up to 30-40 years of enjoying those economic benefits before blacks could do so in the same way. Just because you're white and experience hardship doesn't mean anything, and it especially doesn't mean that color and the racism that occured in the 1900s is somehow not relevant today.

One is rooted in the other though 😅

@@TheGahta Very true but to be honest he's way out of his depth when it comes to politics. Most of the times his political opinions are an attempt to seek understanding out of a place of ignorance. It's admirable but it's no different from the common man thus we don't gain much from it as the audience. Occasionally with such well informed guests, it's a win for us too but when he brings in government shills like the clown Frederick Kagan to spew out government propaganda, then it becomes an unfortunate event to say the least. In contrast when it comes to psychology & psychosocial matters, he's a pundit👌. His opinions are well informed thus even when one disagrees with him one can't help but appreciate having learnt a lot from an alternate view point. He truly moves the needle in regards to psychological and progressive thought.

@@realalchemist7206 how can one out of his depth talking about his own opinion and how he got there?! Lets face it, you have different opinions but you cant argue for where you differ hence this bullshit mental gymnastics, sounds much more likely If not point to your best example where he is alegedly out of his depth and you think your not

So you have been convincved that you arte always in the wrong? Or usually as you put it. Your comment is scary to read.
