Would it be right for someone who doesn’t match what they’re talking about to talk about that topic as if they know well enough about it? Isn’t it better for someone experienced first hand in those fields to talk about those subjects? No shit there’s a pattern, if they only used straight white males, you guys would be shitting your pants over how racist, sexist, and homophobic they were.
@@bolson42 No, it would be because PragerU acts like they're against stereotypes, but then only hires token black people to talk about racism, etc. God, you're a moron. Literally everyone is clowning your kind.

Why doesn't it ever occur to you that a black person isn't part of a monolith and can actually think for himself? Why is it you think you need a white person to say that and refuse to hear the same words spoken by a free thinking black man? I guess you've never listened to Brandon Tatum's channel and heard it directly from him. After all, listening to it from a white liberal decipher what a black man says, is more palpable, right? Remind me again who the racists are.
@Starwars Fan360 Darling, Vaush already explained it here, that there are other detrimental factors like *gasp* class! Well done, though, you probably made it two syllables into the video, it's already more than Sargon or Crowder can manage when reading studies. So yeah, poor white people who live in trailer homes (and that you despise, despite now pretending to care for their issues) have it rough. Poor BLACK people who live in trailer homes have it even rougher. Do you still need me to dumb it down more for you?
Conservatives don't seem to have the ability to grasp the concept that social problems can be systemic. I'm poor and white, so white privilege isn't real. I'm black and successful so racism doesn't exist.
@Starwars Fan360 All your responses are just proving my point. When people with "ethnic" sounding names applications get rejected regardless of qualification and there's a clear disparity in sentencing and severity of punishment in the criminal justice system that favors whites, this disparity can be described in a word; white privilege. Again white privilege doesn't require every white person to live like a king for it to exist.
Arguing with conservative.(actual conversation) Me: white privilege is actually a thing, the average black family wealth is 1\50 that of a white family Conservative: that's not privilege, they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. If they don't want to be working minimum wage jobs, they should have sought higher education, rather than dropping out of college. Later Conservative: you are a middle class American who has a college degree, you are very privileged, so don't talk to me about injustices of the rich to the poor when you aren't poor yourself. Me: I feel injustice myself too, as I have to work my ass off to pay off my crippling college debt that was brought about by the outrageous tuition costs. Conservative: well if you don't like being in debt, you shouldn't have gone to college.
They love telling people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps while ignoring that some people don't have bootstraps, some people have broken bootstraps, some people have tiny loops on their bootstraps and fat fingers, and some people aren't even given boots to pull up so they have to go and make their own while everyone else is hoarding all the boot and bootstrap material to make bootstraps for other people. Some people have to buy boots to pull up in the first place while the market makes buying boots impossible. Meanwhile people like that fuckboi are given tailor-fitted boots with straps that are at the perfect length are like "lmao just pull up your boostraps it's so easy, look *yank*" Hyperindividualism is the bane of social progress I swear.
The bootstrap mentality meme speaks to the shortcomings and failures of the free market/capitalism and the moral blind spot present in conservative ideology. It's no coincidence hyper-conservatism and apathy towards minorities and the down trodden developed in a country built on the exploitation of minorities and the establishment of racial hierarchies. Olive branches and empathy don't get extended to the descendants of minorities this country trampled for generations because shitting on minorities and maintaining hierarchies is our jam.
The entire worldview of conservatism is survivorship bias, it's So frustrating. It's like they have no working knowledge of a fucking normal distribution! "Why can't the statistical mean be just like the population three standard deviations away?!". They're so fucking basic man.
Pretty sad. I'm Black and I hate when other Black people equate acknowledging oppression to admitting defeat. They look down upon Black people who are educated on the racist history and the current state of America
@@darienmiller1032 The entire worldview of conservatives is based on myopically clinging to personal and near personal anecdotes of their life experiences while lacking the ability and/or the desire to be empathetically creative in trying to imagine the lives of other different kinds of people, let alone actually trying to find out for sure.
My favorite part is that he says he was never treated badly when walking into a store and just in general wasn't treated in a racist way. Ok Brandon, where do you live? Well we know when he was a cop he lived in Tucson Arizona. Let's see what are the political leanings of people living in that region OH LOOK THEYRE LEFTIES. Maybe that's why you weren't treated like shit, Brandon? Nah, must be cause racism is dead.
14:00 This argument actually has far reaching implications you might not be aware of at first. It's not just about flesh colored bandages. All kinds of products are not made catering to the specific needs of dark skinned people, including blacks. For a long time cameras were not designed to pick up hue nuances of dark skinned people, because companies didn't care. The make up industry for the longest time has neglected the needs of women of color and has not provided them with big enough variety of matching shades for them. POC have a harder time finding a qualified dermatologist or cosmetician to do certain procedures involving lasers, peelings, etc because dark skin has a higher likelihood of ending up with adverse reactions, so fewer people are qualified or willing to offer such treatments. Usually you will need to go to a black dermatologist/cosmetician in those instances. We are less catered to and for us it's harder to find certain products matching the needs of our different skin. It's not as ridiculous as this PragerU token is trying to make it sound like.
Damn, I hadn't heard of the dermatology aspect, but that sounds super fucked. When Vaush was on that makeup podcast I learned a whole lot of new information about the industry and their complete disregard for more than one dark skin tone.
Silvannetwork Humm I wonder why companies trying to make a profit wouldn’t cater to darker skin tones. Maybe the same reason they don’t cater to people with size 15 shoe. Or fat people. Make product A and sell 1000. Make product B and sell 5. What product would you start with?
@@TheUnibrade It's almost like having a market that caters towards absolute profits instead of the needs of the people leads to an inherently fucked system that disadvantages groups like the people in this thread thread are saying it is. Hmmmmm.
@@TheUnibrade I don't see why you believed pointing out the reason how the problem came to be, means we aren't in the right to complain about it. It still remains a problem for the life of someone who isn't white. You really made a void point.
@@AnimeFan9833 honestly I was not dissing the police in my original response, I mostly think he has fallen so low now when he is a shill. Police in the USA, while far from being good, still not as bad as in many places, like here in Russia, for example. 😭
that last part about the existance of different kinds of privilage is a classic example of conservatives coming SOOOOO close to the point but still managing to miss it
@@shaqkilledkobe5496 White privilage is the existence of a general socioeconomic and political bias in favour of white people. This includes stuff like beauty standards, white people generally being perceived as less threatening than black people, preferences towards white immigrants over non-white immigrants, preferences on the part of employers for applications containing white-sounding names, treatment by police, likelyhood of promotion, and access to resources and opportunities. This doesn't mean all white people will do well, or will do better than non-white people, but as a general rule being white comes with significant advantages as compared to other skin colours, just like being rich, tall or attractive will come with unearned advantages. Even if it's impossible to fix entirely, it's still worthwhile to recognise the existance of this phenominon if we want to create a more equitable and fair society. Acceptable explanation?
@@avoidchinamen4safety560 Asians and Indians tned to do better largely because only wealthier people from those countries are able to move here in the first place, not because society favours them in the same way it currently favours white people. Think about it, the average Indian or Chinese person does not have enough money to hop on a flight to start a new life in the USA. Your comment is a common talking point that stems from misunderstanding how immigration has historically worked in the US. It's also worth noting that immigration from those countries was restricted, due to racist policies, until the 1960s.
So Westeros is supposed to be a place where it's not good to be a dwarf, but this Tyrion Lannister dude is the hand of the king! You were saying, liberals?
If I'm not mistaken this is the same black guy that said the Exonerated 5 were the ones who were lying. I think he took the video down cause his comment section ripped him apart.
No that video is still up. Just checked it out when I saw your comment and yes, the ENTIRE comment section ripped him apart and nearly ratioed him in the process.
One major white privilege is knowing where specifically your family came from before america. I have one white grandparent and funnily enough that's the only side of my family that knows their ancestry. "English" "German" etc. Family names and crests. For my black grandparents, our known history begins with american slavery and we know nothing before america.
Wouldn't we call that something like Black Disadvantage? Because Asians and other non African immigrants should be able to learn about their ancestry with general parity.
@@piedpiper6425 Problem is that also falls to Latinos(brown/mestizo/Afro), and many don’t really know where they’re Native/African tribes come from, or if they do(Mestizos often do, and Afro-Latinos remained within the culture,language,religion), it has been COMPLETELY suppressed and destroyed the connection to said tribes.
@@shaqkilledkobe5496 Its not being closed minded but in this case you need to think. If they had DNA evidence on 1 of the kids why have they held on to that evidence? How long did they have that evidence? If they had it during the case why didn't they use it against said kid. Like bro, saying that the CP5 were guilty is like the Jewish questioning now it doesn't make sense when faced with these specific questions.
@@shaqkilledkobe5496 Moreover the lead sex crime investigator Linda Farstein recieved intense scrutiny after all of the information was released about the CP5 case. So now "They had DNA evidence but somehow were exonerated via DNA evidence"? Do you know how stupid and illogical that sounds?
@@bluman6793 He's saying businesses can't be racist because they're npcs designed to only maximize profits thus making them ignore race when conducting business. And then saying that those same businesses are forgoing making money in favor of being woke and going out of their way to hire less qualified black candidates. The argument is that they only want to make money so why would they be racist? At the same time, why tf would they lose money and be woke if they're trying to only make money? The answer is humans aren't Vulcans and have their own opinions that disregard doing the logical thing, but Prageru affirms that bankers are logical non-racists and therefore don't discriminate while also arguing that they're actually woke.
Yeah if structural racism was so prevalent you would expect real life consequences but aperantly people from minority groups aren’t at all affected so structural racism is bullshit

My mom is a black jamaican lady who occasionally overdresses to grab groceries. When i was 11 or 12, we went to the mall and passed a sunglasses hut stall, didnt stop before going to jcpennies. We left the store and got accused of stealing a pair of glasses by the lady at the stall. They had the cops escort us to search my mothers purse. They didnt find any sunglasses cayse there was nothing to find. We stopped going to that mall. A similar thing happened barely a year later at another mall. It doesnt matter how your dressed as a black person.
that Black lawyer's kid? still at risk of police harassment. I mean we've seen literal Harvard Professors have the police called on them for trying to unlock the doors to their own homes.
@@roywiseman You know what, I will just explain white privilege to you since you don't understand it. White privilege isn't so much as white people getting more as it is about what they(for the most part) don't get. Basically it means if you're black(or anyone of color really), then you are much more likely to have a longer jail sentence, to be seen as more of a threat, to have higher medical costs (I'm not a 100% sure for this one I'll do research), to be harassed or even assaulted by police for no valid reason, to be arrested for a crime you didn't commit without evidence or to not be allowed in some places. So does being white mean this stuff won't happen to me? No, of course not, it's just more likely to happen to a black or haspanic person. Does being white make me racist? No unless you choose to become one. Does being in a society that has white privilege makes me racist then? No unless you use white privilege to justify racism. Do all black or haspanic people go through this? No that's why there are some people who don't fully understand the problems with white privilege because they haven't experienced it, like me. I luckily wasn't a victim of this but I know people who have. There we go.
@@roywiseman Well I'm kinda confused because the all caps tone of you comment gave the impression that you were angry at the vid and serious but I'm also was wondering if you were being sarcastic.
What helped me come to terms with "privilege" as a whole was figuring out what other advantages exist out there. So for instance, white privilege might be White Men receiving less jail time for equivalent crimes than Black Men, and using the same logic, it is female privilege that women receive less jail time than men for equivalent crimes. An example of male privilege is being physically stronger than women on average. An example of black male privilege is everyone assuming you have a big dick (directly contrary to Asian stereotypes which are disadvantageous) How privilege effects you depends on the individual's circumstance, and not all privileges are equal in value, but they are all still "privilege". That said, people who rage tweet about privilege accounts for 90% of the discussions on privilege I see; and despite a more nuanced understanding, it's still just as cringe.
"An example of black male privilege is everyone assuming you have a big dick..." I personally wouldn't classify this as a privilege. Because black men are stereotyped to be more sexually mature, they may be seen as competition to non-black men in terms of dating or sex. Some may use this to support the sexist idea that white women are being "stolen" from the people they "belong to", white men, which can result in even more suspiscion towards black men. Racism and sexism often go hand-in-hand, and it's one good example of why the Central Park 5 had so many doubting their innocence until they were exonerated. Five "big, black men" alleged (at the time) to have raped a small and "pure/damsel" white woman is a racist's wet dream. While you're at it, I'd google Emmett Till as well. Similar concept, except he was murdered from a white woman's fake accusations (she confessed). But otherwise, I 100% agree.
My issue with the white privilege narrative is the "therefore..." that usually fallows someone claiming being white *alone* gives you all sorts of advantages. Often affirmative action is the proposed(and implemented) solution. Now, I can't get behind a legally enforced system that explicitly states "if you are race X, you are excluded from Y". That, my friend, is racism. I think the framing of the conversation around "white privilege" is divisive and unproductive, even if you are pointing in the broad direction of a larger problem. And no, I'm not white, if that was assumed
The fact that these right wingers will claim female privilege or sexism against men in the legal system that exists but white privilege doesn't (even in the same scenarios if compared to a black or brown person) is where I call them disingenuous. Cherry picking what fits their politics. They will say white men are victims (even though they gave privilege/bias in favor for white women to historically help toughen sentences on non-white men who are accused of assault or have legal conflict with them).
"What advantage do you have as white person that I don't have? That you can go to clans meeting without the other members making a fuss about it? Wrong! I go to clans meetings too, ever other Saturday. I just keep my hood on, and use a white voice. Never had any problems!"
It's so hard to watch these videos as a black person. It's *so* hard. They never fail to find the random token black person to spew BS if it has something to do with racism, like that makes his point more valid or some shit.
Not even generational wealth but generational trauma. Beyond the social aspects of slavery being VERY recent and us still dealing with the repercussions, epigenetics can explain why slavery still has a physiological and psychological affect on even the great-grandkids of slaves. Trauma affects your very DNA and how genes express for generations to come.
6:04 This is absolutely true. I worked in retail and one of the only issues I ever had was that every time slightly rowdy black kids would come in, it was high alert. While I was on, I’d only witnessed theft 2 or 3 times and it was all white folks who never got attention from my coworkers. Now that’s some anecdotal evidence.

Normally I love seeing you break down stupid videos, but this video is so ridiculously smooth brained, I can't watch til the end. My god this is a dumb take, good on you for being able to sit through this drivel and rebuke it. I'm not that strong today.
I know this is very anecdotal, but my mom was dating a black guy and he unironically asked if he could leave out the door without the cops being called on him cause he was in a white neighborhood. Just the other day my black friend said that they wanted to walk to the store to get a snack, I asked why they didn't, and they responded, unironically, its dark out, I might get shot. I can't fucking imagine what its like to live in that kind of world.
I very much doubt someone like Dennis Prager doesn't know white privilege is real. After all, he earns money by denying white privilege to an audience who very much wants to ignore it and/or keep it in place as it is now.
He brought up a list of 46 things, picked the silliest thing, and didn't even come up with a good counterargument. He could have pointed out that they now have bandages in varying colors, but he didn't even do that.
I worked retail a while back in electronics and a black guy came in around 10:30 at night (we closed at 11). He was wearing some paint splattered overalls and a dirty t shirt. My guess is he just got off work. He comes up to the counter and asks to get help with some tvs. I take him to the section and he starts asking how many of each we have in stock, and then starts saying how many of each he'd like. Guy must have wanted 10 tvs in total, and my manager called lose prevention thinking I was about to get robbed or that a stolen credit card was about to be used. I got all the tv and rang him up, and the guy payed in cash. Management was incredulous. Store wasn't even in a remotely bad neighborhood, just racism things
Just to put a stamp on the time since civil rights movement It ended in 62. So that is 52 years ago. Though I haven't looked up when certain legislations happened. This just seems so short ago to me the more I think about it.

This is stupid. One person’s experience doesn’t make everyone’s experience. I never wear traditional black or ghetto clothes. But still get that look and stereotyping.

Geez, I watch political content a lot and I think I've found my new favourite commentator. You just tell it as it is and use the facts over feeling argument against the conservatives, and completely turn the argument on its head, because we are the ones who have logic on our side! Nice job, I subscribed
Black people are more often less privileged, but white people can be poor and black people can be rich. Affirmative action should really be focused more on clads rather than race.
Shoplifters generally try to be as chill as possible. This one time a guy came in and stole a whole wall of baseball gloves over a couple hours and didn’t get caught for two days because he did it over time and didn’t act weird or nervous
Dude says he has never been looked at with suspicion because he is black. I literally had a cop GET OUT OF HIS CAR to follow my roommate and I, two black women for no reason.
Facts don’t care about your feelings-facts only care about a conservative’s feelings-which is why their feelings will always matter more to them than your facts.
