How To Pretend Systemic Racism Doesn't Exist - SOME MORE NEWS 

I believe it is MLK, he has a lot of great quotes

For that matter, it's cruel to ask a man WITH boots to lift himself up by his bootstraps. That metaphor was specifically intended as a sarcastic observation about being asked to do the impossible, and now you got conservatives insisting people do that unironically.

@@CrowTR0bot Many of the people who give this instruction have never had to actually do it. However, plenty of poor people know that it's essentially true. There is no other way up than to lift yourself up without any help. You either get up, or you die. You do the impossible. That's why I like the expression. It contains within it the cruelty of life, and a very hard truth: nobody cares about you when you're down, and they don't really care when you're up either.

@@themudpit621 All you're doing by treating that idiom as a positive is perpetuating cruelty for the sake of it. We SHOULD be uplifting people who can't uplift themselves. They're mainly stuck that way because the rich parasites who arranged society pulled up every ladder behind them. I bet you're the kind of person who admires a person who said he lived on food stamps and that "no one helped me" in the same breath.

You can't lift yourself up without any help. That's why I hate the quote.

Oh god that's so g-d true, isn't it?

White middle aged "upper crust" lady quoted almost exactly that to me about Aboriginal Australians recently! "There is MUCH MORE black on black violence than there ever will be white on black" I saw red but still managed to continue to have the "friendly" debate. But she let her true colours shine bright. Racists sometimes dont even realise they are racist and thats why there are so.many issues. If you are self aware enough you can change and grow. But if you can't see the way that you think is flawed then you will never be better.

If they actually cared and weren't intellectually dishonest, and TALKED to black people, we talk about violence in our neighborhoods all the time. In our "not real music" rap music, art, TV shows, poetry, communities-Kanye addressed it back when he wasn't far right, multiple times, "350 soldiers died in Iraq-509 died in Chicago" -Murder to Excellence, Watch the Throne, 2011. Like, seriously, way to show that you've never had a discussion with someone from the hood that wasn't surface-level.

@Ajax Aidy sure as shit not because black people aren't "focusing on our own communities first", like racist white people like to claim.

@Ajax Aidy Did you watch the video??

ITs such an intelligent joke

Nah it's lame.

@@cdogthehedgehog6923 no its actually brilliant. The whole concept of making the sharing of ideas into a marketplace is that ideas are now a commodity to be bought into but more specifically, and importantly, sold to you. Usually with inflammatory rhetoric in the hope that you knee jerk and impulse buy into an idea. ie basically everything right wingers say. PragerU, daily wire, turning point usa and many others are funded by right wing billionaires with the Express purpose of selling you their ideas.

*Truly one of the crazy things people believe these days* , with a million minority scholarships and white people being the only group comedians you can make fun of *is that systemic racism against minorities exist*

They are the only thing you have to follow. So who cares about anything else. But he is wrong, democrats are STILL writing laws to punish just blacks. Hell that NJ congressman just said on the floor of the state house you can't have blacks carrying guns in his gun ban bill speech.

Yeah but that has less to do with something changeable, and more with a matter of human nature. People are bitter. People are cynical. People are judgemental and nasty. No amount of education and money can change that. Bad apples exist in every system and they always will.

The US right likes to do this for some reason. Compare also "bad apple", which now means "exception that has no bearing on the whole", even though "a bad apple spoils the bunch" actually means the exact opposite.

I have literally never heard of this phrase, and i doubt many normal people have. Do i see straw? Whats going on!

Is he trying to justify his racism? I am confused how someone can come to believe this.

I love how he gets to pick and choose when it's "individuals' problems" for lynchings, but when it comes to how they dress it's a collective racial one as a whole.

That sounds rough. I'm not even sure where he is coming from.

You just find sources about how black people actually did create allot wealth for themselves, hundreds of times in fact, only for their towns to raided and burned and their family members lynched by white mobs, hundreds of times. The result was everything he talks about in the video in a way things got worse for people after slavery.

To be fair. Blacks dress like hooligans these days

It is a cruel jest that we continue to missuse the term "pull up by the bootstraps" as it originally meant to 'do the impossible' because you cannot grab your shoelaces and pull yourself up. but I guess it's a moot point ;-)

Benjamin (sorry, his birth certificate literally say Benjamin and I just can't accept that he wants to be called, "Ben" because that's easier; it's just not legally true) has a similar opinion when it comes to people identifying with they/them pronouns because we can't just, "make up stuff in the English language when we want to," (which we literally can-- language is constantly being expanded on), but specific examples of such use of they/them in language exist in Shakespeare's writing.

I’m “colorblind”in the sense that I couldn’t care less about someone s ethnicity, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ignore blatant racism when I see it. I hate it when people say they re colorblind yet pretend that racism doesn’t exist, being colorblind doesn’t mean ignoring racial discrimination and injustice.

Amazing how people can co-opt anything to promote its opposite.

I really think perhaps the single biggest core idea that's corrupted and diseased the overall landscape in our society over the last decade has been the idea of the BAD FAITH ACTOR. and our discourse won't be truly functional again because of it for at least a whole other generation.

Indeed. As someone who actually does have a high pain tolerance and is hypersensitive to some painkillers (opioids), it's really annoying to be white when interacting with the medical field. They really coddle you, and it's so f*cking stupid. I hate having to tell doctors and dentists "no, I'm fine, just do it." And half the time they don't listen (cause why would a doctor listen to a woman). I usually end up having to tell the pharmacist not to put in the codeine or whatever "-ine" they've included (fortunately, *they* usually believe me. Though I've occasionally had to throw out pills that contained opioids). Then I read that black women *don't* get pain meds when they need them, while pain meds I shouldn't have (and don't need) are being foisted on me and I'm just like "who thinks any part of this is okay?"

Oh but haven't you heard? Redlining isn't real, its up tk the people I those districts to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and make their own lives better Its entirely their fault their drawn district has the issues they do and the people need to work harder I imagine this is something shapiro would say

@hatter00 You do realize that the problem is that the biases being talked about has led to the harm and deaths of thousands of black people, which means the biases are because of fucking racism and the so called biological differences are largely imagined? Also, redlining is over? Well, problem solved then. Have you even watched the video you're commenting under?

@hatter00 redlining ended in 1968 my grandmother at any time before then wouldn't have been able to secure a loan for businesses or homeownership she is still alive to this day. Also when the science is used to justify not using medicine when needed simply because of the appearance of an individual yes that is racist. This country was literally built in the backs of racism and civil rights weren't guaranteed until 4yrs before redlining ended, systematic racism was and is baked into this country's structure but feel free to ignore facts.

Hence, it's their means of survival that gets criminalised, meaning they are the ones who'll be at the business end of the law and justice system. Yet the law makers can turn a blind eye to this targeted struggle by claiming that the law is equal and prohibits the rich from such activities too, but they are activities the rich would not engage in because they are rich -- they don't need to. So this invidious "equality" is just phony morality that benefits the rich. Equality before the law is a scam if being poor is a crime.

"But that would affect American pride" -an actual argument made by conservatives.

@Ajax Aidy Dresden was a rather conservative district - it seemed to spontaneously combust

The objective of American education is to teach propaganda, to produce employees, consumers, and debt-oriented beings. Having you to reach the American Dream as George Carlin stated, "The American Dream, you have to be asleep to believe it."

@Ajax Aidy Did you miss the part where it was literally written into the rules to make sure whites got good houses, the single greatest asset that 99% of people will ever own?

School education is a joke.

BOOM, you've deconstructed Ben Stupid-People-Think-I'm-Smart Shapiro to a TEE! Dude is a clown. Awesome take.

"I'm the better thief! You probably just looked suspicious." "Great, I'm not a thief, so why would I look suspicious?" --a conversation a black friend of mine had with a rich white kid in high school

People are so fragile they can't accept even the clearest display of reality It's pathetic

And that's the story of why they're no longer your friend, right?

I was such a straight edge growing up that I've never had instances of white theft that went unpunished to further support the idea of unfair bias against black people in a store, but i'm very glad to have seen multiple examples in this comments section.

"His response was basically that he was a “better thief”, my response was that I never actually stole anything" So you're saying that he's correct?

Roderico In that case I get what you mean, but in the broader sense I struggle to see how “I want things to stay exactly as they are, maybe go back in time some” could ever be viewed by someone as “rebellion” just call yourself a conservative, be a 20 year old boomer and own it. (Not referring to you, just to be clear)

Wait a minute! Christian Conservatism? But don't they think Conservatism is good? And didn't Ben Shapiro distinctly say any modifier in front of an inherently good word makes it perverse? Hmm . . . There's something there . . .

It's called 🌟marketing🌟

I think they like to think it's 'cool and rebellious' because the media they watch and the people they support always tell them that they are the 'rational minority' and that the rest of the world is against them and lying to them. No one else is fighting for american tradition but us! Kind of crap. They eat up the whole 'us vs them' and everyone is already equal stuff. At least that's how it seems to me. I'm currently living with family for the pandemic and all my mom ever watches/listens to is fox news and that's essentially what they make it seem like.

Remember when they tried to make Conservatism the new punk rock? I'm so glad that ended as quickly as it did. Punk is literally the antithesis of conservatism and mindless authority.

it just gets worse. systemic racism effects more than just black people. its a huge part of the growing wealth inequality across the board.

This problem is much older than this video. It´s a problem that will never be solved, because a certain percentage of any larger population inevitably has shitty people.

Those who enslaved men turned those men into animals but also became animals themselves. The problem is hundreds of years old and now people have been convinced to use derisive ways to argue against it. All in the name of capitalism. There aren't even accurate words to describe what is going on. Racism is not inherent, xenophobia and prejudice are but American Racism is a capitalist system born out those things resulting in the enslavement and continued mass incarceration of "others". Most people know very little about racism by design, I'm black and my dad is a scholar and I've been learning things HE does not quite understand and has a hard time hearing because of how hard he was conditioned in the 70s. This is not just one groups problem, it is a world-wide phenomenon now, and by being slowly conditioned to allow one group to be outcast, other groups will be too until... They are coming for you. Unless you're a straight white male. Who doesn't stand out in any way.

The solution is for people to realize that average citizens can become city council members and mayors. People don't pay attention to elections that happen for their state/city and just look at the presidential election. Alt-right people have been able to gain power because no one runs and no one votes for those elections. What needs to happen is that normal people need to develop a culture of voting and running for ALL elections in order to create change. And people need to know that this is the solution in order for it to happen.

@@malikmarshal7 you're absolutely right. Democrats tend to focus on 'big elections', but the importance of local elections, and especially state, can not be overstated. After all, local representatives can appoint judges, sherriffs....and the people who make decisions about our children's education. But state legislation has the ability to redraw congressional lines. And anyone who knows about gerrymandering will know how devastating that can be. We absolutely need to pay attention to local politics. I've looked into running for city council, but all the sitting members have held their positions for years, they are all related, married, or children of each other, and all have the same politics, makes it very difficult to even get noticed lol.

So between working to death and caring for children, poor ppl should also keep up on local politics and try to run a small campaign? Got it.

The only solution capitalism can provide to anything is "Do more capitalism"

The captialist/objectivist/social darwinist screed that "selfishness is pure good" leads inexorably to the idea that society is composed exclusively of predators and prey and the idea that "weakness" should be left to die in the gutter. You can stratify society along any lines you want after that - race, religion, wealth, caste, random draw, etc. The end result is always systematic oppression. It's "the mandate from heaven" all over again. This time according to the great god "Market". Some time in the future, the pendulum will shift back toward the idea that "Altruism is pure good". But ot will not come easily.

What about bootstraps? I think more bootstrap factories cranking out those all important bootstraps could solve this mess.

I feel like I should open a store that only sells bootstraps and all the money should go to Habitat for Humanity.

It's a deliberate strategy -- propose non-solutions to real problems. It's like telling people with their hair on fire to drink more water. "Water puts out fires. Just drink more water. If you DON'T, that's because you must actually not care about your hair being on fire, so I don't have to care about your hair being on fire either. If you DO and it does nothing, it must be because you aren't doing it right. Either way, it's your fault and I can blame you rather than help you."

Kick rocks. for some of them it's profiteering from the suffering(the need for an oppressed class) But for others...I suspect...fear. The fear that life isn't fair. Bad things happen to good people and suffering is a part of many people's days. It's comforting to be able to wash your hands of it and place blame on the individual. Life is fair enough. our system is fair enough so lets not think on it for even a moment. Instead just dismiss anyone impoverished or suffering as just somehow deserving of it so we dont have to think about helping them.

@@pondracek Way to deliberately misinterpret my point - I'm not saying there should be no rewards for being intelligent or doing hard work, I'm saying it shouldn't decide the state of your medical care, the state of your children's education, the likelihood you'll be affected by violence... And no, being lazy shouldn't decide that either. There's also some worrying ableism in your response too.

@@pondracek Also - most people don't do the bare minimum unless their labour is being exploited. If we gave everybody food, good education, and a safe environment guaranteed regardless of their intelligence or "laziness" then people would chase their aspirations and continue to work hard, it would just mean others were able to escape exploitative work environments. Besides - we have a surplus of workers. If we paid less people more for less hours of work and didn't require everybody work, we would still be able to produce everything we do.

The other half of it is that landlords exploit vulnerable people, so rent increases may take up all of someone's disposable income, especially as wages don't rise with inflation, while mortgages usually stay the same payment until they're paid off

Absolutely. Everyone I know who’s family owns a house is extremely well off. In my own family, on my mothers side, my mothers parents own their home and are extremely wealthy. On my fathers side, they rented and moved every year, and my dad’s been scrapping by since he was kicked out at fourteen. Usually getting money from illegal activity, but he’s never been arrested despite being caught multiple times, because he’s a well spoken white man. Even within my own family, I’ve seen the difference owning a house and wealth makes.

@Derek McCumber American culture: Admire upward, sneer downward, and never look around.

Knowing is only _half_ the battle, remember? The people whose wealth is built on social inequality are going to "defend" that wealth even if they are staunchly anti-racist in their personal views. That means that they are still going to try to preserve or expand inequalities THEY depend on, even as they fight to do away with others. And that's not hypocrisy, either. That's simply self-preservation. Without that income derived from inequality, they wouldn't have the resources to fight for equality in other areas.

They aren't mutually exclusive ideas. Yes, it is true that there are many circumstances that have led to diminished opportunity within marginalized communities but it is also true that perpetual victimization isn't a strategy for academic or career success. I wanted to learn about evidence of modern day systematic racism but I'm not about to watch a one hour video, do you have any links? I know there was that resume study, although that could be explained by socioeconomic prejudice as well, but whenever I ask the question I'm confronted with evidence of inequality. That's not the same thing. I genuinely want to see studies showing, that after controlling for external factors, there remains variance that can only be explained by systematic racism. That probably sounds too rigid but the social sciences certainly aren't 'science' at this point and anecdotes can only affect public opinion by so much, as is clearly evident in this video.

I do agree that having cited sources in this video description would be nice, but we are given names and book/video titles throughout the video so you can certainly follow up on this with your own research. But I do have to ask, if it's not systemic racism it's inequality, where does that inequality come from? Surely a system that is biased against people of that grouping, in this case race.

Which is another reason why watching the video is important, especially if you're commenting on the video. Also, yes calling for a study that controls for ALL SOCIETAL VARIABLES to prove the existence of systemic racism might be a liiiiiiittle much to ask.
