Sree - quite so. Or the predominance of a certain faction of the population in higher education being granted enhanced financial assistance, along with the prospect of passing exams with the most extreme flexibility of pass-marking. And consider the plethora of University ‘professors’ and how and why they got the job in the first place, and the fact that they’re often in the job for life and cannot be sacked - because of their skin colour. But then again, where would we be without those most wonderful of qualifications, including gender studies, unconscious racism and the history of white demonic colonialism. However, any specialised area of study under the umbrella of ‘history’ is, of course, becoming easier and easier due to great swathes of meticulously researched, long established facts being cancelled, denied, or vilified. PS: back to homeless vets: we have the same over here 🇬🇧, while illegally landed asylum seekers (the overwhelming majority of which comprises young men) are put up in four-star hotels, while our huddled and afflicted veterans are living in cardboard boxes on the street. Good grief Sree! I only got on here to say that I agreed with you but I got a bit carried away. Well, it’s an emotionally loaded situation, what ? 🧐
Amen. When I see Oprah Winfrey get up from her golden throne, go to a homeless veteran, and tell him that he has white privilege to his face, then and only then will I take her seriously.
@@Sentinel82 ive said that to these types as well. told them to go to the areas where theres lots of crazed drugged out homeless people and tell them that. do it. i want to film the inevitable chase scene the fuck out of there :P
If Universities had professors like Charlie, our children would be much more intelligent, confident and looking to the future versus being trapped in the past.
So, I consider myself Latino and white. I grew up poor or maybe bottom of middle class. My parents pushed education. I did the three things Charlie indicated and I’m in the middle class. I completely agree with Charlie, it is good choice privilege. Good choices should be rewarded.
its funny that in europe "latino" isnt a thing. they're just considered white. as in if a mexican moved to sweden that mexican would be considered white. usa is so god damn obsessed with race that they just have to create as many as possible, for some reason deciding latinos are different than white. same with jewish people, considered white in europe (or well, there are black jews but generally when people say "jewish" they think ashkenazi). i mean obviously i can see that an italian is from italy and not from germany and i can tell if a person is from a slavic country as opposed to being from france or something but they're all "white". i can tell a french person apart from a dane without issue, doesnt really mean one is white and one isnt.
@@okiedokie2894 Your blood is half and half. But where were you born? If you were born in any Latin country you are Latino by culture. We don't call ourselves, Half this and half that. We're all just Colombians, or Mexicans, or whatever. Making that particular distinction is a little weird. Like you want to set yourself apart from the rest.
He wasn't race baiting, this is literally what hes been taught in school probably his whole life. These were good questions asked to someone who challenges what he has been taught. It was a respectful conversation the way it should be done.
I agree, he was detailed and specific in his questioning and was quiet and respectful to the answers he was given. From what I've seen there are normally two types of responses for someone who legitimately wants to learn. The questioner is either quiet because he is absorbing the information or the questioner is apologetically interrupting with more questions because he absorbs the information quickly and wants to learn more as quickly as possible to satiate his curiosity.
I heard no race baiting, what I heard was someone that was taught by a public school driven by an agenda. He was respectful, listened and gave input, 3 of the most important things to utilize in good conversation.
That dude is not "a Latino in this country" he is an American who happens to be Latino. There is a huge difference. I'm sick of my people blaming white people for their own bad decisions. Take some self responsibility and get your shit together
Are you American? Than we are “your people”. We are one people with varied rich, unique, interesting and precious family heritages and traditions. Heritages that we can share and celebrate. We have to remember that we are Americans first and foremost. As long as we continue to label ourselves as “_____ Americans”, the left will continue to divide us by our different heritages and minimize our shared love of our country. I don’t care if you celebrate the 4th of July eating hamburgers and hotdogs , just celebrate it and remember why.
Charlie has helped hundreds of young people open there eyes to what’s really going on in our schools and politics. My grandson being one of them, Thank you very much Charlie and God bless
As a Latino America is equal my son with a high school education makes a $105,000 a year my nephews started their own business and they average over $100,000 a year also. America the opportunity is there. Quit playing the poor me card.
Few people understand their specialty as well as Charlie. His confidence on stage comes from knowing that no matter what question is asked he can use the truth and logic to navigate the problem. This is because he isn't trying to make something true that isn't, he's simply appealing to what is actually true.
I wish TPUSA and TPUK would stop using "click bait" titles. This video doesn't reflect the title. It was solid questioning by the kid who didn't try to outsmart Charlie. He asked good questions and got good answers. The exchange was still very informative.
I do agree. Sometimes it's just better to be honest about the conversation happening. Not every liberal is a wacko who thinks he's superior to everyone. Progressive? Yes. But this young man doesn't strike me as a progressive.
How was it "solid questioning" It's cut and paste, white privilege assertion. A lab monkey can write a better question and counter argument than that kid
@@tylerhansen99870 Like literally dude . Basically like ... You know what I'm saying ? Ummm , uhhh like basically I was like , sorta like . Is this thing on ?
You see this young Latino probably was born or came here at a very early age. His parents worked thier asses off to support him and give him the best things in life. Off he goes to the American schools of indoctrination. I have a construction company for the past 30 years. I work with Latinos everyday. Hardworking individuals living the American dream. No college for them Just hard working supporting thier families. It's a world of difference listening to this young man who has been indoctrinated by the liberal professor's in the American indoctrination system and listening to the Latinos who never went to college and work hard for a living. 2 different worlds.
Charlie is 100% correct. At the same time this kid is not a "Racebaiter". He is a young man asking questions and having a good discussion on topic of race today. Especially knowing what you pretty much KNOW he has been exposed to in "higher" education.
I mostly agree, the kid didn't seem like a racebaiter but the question is almost always used by racebaiters. Seemed like he was asking it honestly so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
@juan abee You again, I told you what to do just self identify as a gay transgender person of color problem solved. Unless you're either a troll so everything you type is a lie or you are on the left... so everything you type is a lie.
He always goes with the Asian- American example, but most of them came to America from middle class backgrounds, they were not dragged there as slaves.
To be fair, that kid wasn't any kind of race baiter. He asked his questions politely and didn't appeal to base emotions or attempt to whip up the audience. He behaved in an exemplary fashion for a public debate and Turning Point really ought to chance the clickbait-y title of the vid to reflect this
@@ionutalbu6670 What? They never said anything in regard to Charlie's facts, but the title alone... I think your response has some sort of bias present. When the left says something, you say the opposite I bet. You fell for the click-bait and didn't get what this comment was about because you hate the left so much you primed yourself into thinking your side won harder than it did. When someone doesn't agree with your side 100%, like the click bait title, you go into defense mode. P.s. white privilege is a myth. I'm guessing you're going to go bias mode and assume I must be on the left because I pointed out your response was stupid.
@@marcusrosales3344 You think that my response is biased, you also assume that I am on the right side, you assume I disagree with everything on the left (I do not agree with the abortion law change, for example), you assume defence mode and tell me I fell for the clickbait after you actually clicked the link yourself and watched the clip and, lastly, I can explain how diversion works in case you, somehow, missed it. Bravo!
I agree. While I tend to go along with Charlie's positions and viewpoints on many issues, some of the titles of these videos exaggerate. That said, I do believe that white privilege is imaginary. I grew up in a white lower middle class Jewish home in Canada. Whilst some of our neighbours were always travelling to Cape Canaveral, Cape May, Cape Cod, Cape Hatteras, etc., the only capes we saw were the ones that George Reeves (Superman) and Adam West (Batman) wore on television. We had no money. Yet I really did not feel deprived. We learnt to appreciate what we did have. Some of the neighbour kids went to private parochial schools. We went to the local subsidised public schools. But it was there that I heard the Gospel, sang Christian hymns, prayed, and had teachers and principals praying for my salvation. And their prayers were answered🙂
I'm a middle aged white man and was born into a lower class family where my parents were in their early 20s and my father was an airman in the US Air Force. We lived in a trailer park and my parents had to sacrifice in order to feed and cloth me. My mom stayed home and my father worked on the base. They ate frozen waffles and macaroni and cheese so they could purchase baby food, diapers, etc. After my father separated from the military, we moved back to where they grew up and my father got a low paying tech job for Digital Equipment Corp. He busted his ass and my mother worked low end jobs to bring some extra money in and I grew up as a Gen-X'er and a latch key kid. My father worked hard and climbed the ladder and went to school to get his BS. My parents made good choices and we moved into the middle class. My parents had strict expectations for my younger sister and I on education. We both went to state college where I worked hard to get a degree in electrical engineering. I married right out of college and became a father a year later where the cycle repeated. I worked as a maintenance tech for a year while taking a class in C programming. Then then took a job doing tech support for a meager salary at a software company. I worked hard but sacrificed with my ex to support our growing family. I continued to learn and climbed the ladder to leave 5 years later as a senior software engineer. Several jobs later, a remarriage due to my ex's infidelity, a new wife and step son and now my wife and I are solidly top 5%'ers. Our boys are grown and we enjoy a great life of privilege together. Not privilege due to the color of our skin but privilege due to the sweat from our brows. She has a similar story growing up poor and from a broken home but rising out of it through education, hard work and good choices. We both came into this work in the lower class, poor but found the American dream through hard work and perseverance. Anyone can do it and the color of your skin is NOT a deterrent you are NOT a victim.
@Gab Exactly correct and I am proud of it. I'm also proud that neither of my boys have any criminal record, are productive and respectful young men, respect authority, etc. They were raised right. My oldest is a security guard supervisor and he was over the house last night talking about kids that he deals with and was saying how uncomfortable he would have been after my foot was inserted into his ass if he acted like these kids do these days... lol. He appreciates the strong upbringing which makes me happy to know that I did that right.
The 3 things that Charlie mentioned to stay out of poverty are from a Brookings study. 1. Have a job. 2. Graduate from high school. 3. Do not have kids until you get married.
When people talk about 'privilege', they're really talking about money.. and you usually hear about it from young people who are just starting out in life and don't have any money. Let's talk about the privilege of youth. I would give every penny I have to go back to being a 21 year old who could get out of bed in the morning and nothing hurts. To have that freedom, to not have the obligations and stress and just go to college a couple of hours a day and party all night.
That is one very intelligent young man!!!! The WORLD is privileged to have him in it!!! He was so respectful and seems very genuine in the way that he asked the question. There is hope yet!!!
I wasn’t born in the United States but got here as fast as I could. My mother brought me here (legally) at 5 years old. She was a single mother raised 3 kids. Absolutely zero, zero, zero government help. Im Now 41, married three kids. My salary alone not considering my wife is just shy 100k. How is it possible for me to be better off than an African American just boggles my mind.
I didn't backfire, it succeeded in its intent. It made a substantial portion of the black population dependent upon government largesse for its daily needs. And beholden to the democrat party. If the black population ever figures out how badly it has been used by the democrats I wouldn't give good odds for the long term survival of that party.
@@altairprime7895 and you are correct - blacks either haven’t figured it out or are just content living that way. When I was in the army reserves we had a bright black kid who our CSM offered a nice govt job of pay and benefits. The kids response was “welfare was good enough for my grandfather,and my dad and it is good enough for me. “. A very telling but sad response
@@vespacheck It didn't backfire...they lied about it being for their benefit. Its intent was to make blacks dependent, not to help them. Welfare and The Great Society did more to destroy the black family unit than anything ever done to them before, including slavery. Because this time they accepted it willingly.
These government plans have not backfired, they have been wildly successful. Destruction of family works better when people sign up for it, a little cash and cheese.
I have always enjoyed the Turning Point Videos, but Mr. Kirk you must talk to your staff about some of the titling of your videos. The young man in this video was not a "Racebaiter" he was very calm, and respectful and was not even trying to " Outsmart " any one. This was very much a two sided conversation. I have noticed in the last couple videos the crowd has, for the most part, seem to be listening more, and yelling less at you Mr. Kirk. It seems the tides may be changing for the better in the minds of the young adults. But when your staff titles your videos incorrectly ,this can set back all the good you have done when it comes to trying to bring forth the truth. In many cases the video titles keep all this Racism , White Privilege out in the forefront just to keep the WORLD FIGHTING WITH ONE ANOTHER.😢 This is WONG.😢
Even his question is ridiculous. "I think I saw something on Facebook, someone shared, like a video or a picture. Could you elaborate?" That poor kid doesn't even know how good he has it. He's been brainwashed
Why do these students so desperately WANT their views to be the truth - I assume it's because that's all they know and reality is a hard pill to swallow.
Because they have literally been brainwashed in school. They were never taught critical thinking skills and therefore, have no ability to reason. They just regurgitate what they've been told.
He may have been an orphan raised in a living hell and also be a Latino with an American accent, or he could have been the child of a billionaire. The point Charlie is making here is that you CAN'T tell what someone has been through by looking at them(for most things obviously).
Oh yes he has. He's a victim of the liberal public indoctrination system, the liberal mainstream media and liberal social media platforms. This was most likely his first exposure to actual fact driven, truthful information.
I was raised in L.A. and had friends of different ethnic groups. We never thought about our so called differences,now it seems there are those who do and are trying to get us to join in,hopefully others will not listen to these racist promoters and just let the wind blow.
That last line is interesting. The biggest problem with the whole “system racism” thing isn’t exactly the concept itself, but rather poor wording… and I think there’s some common ground here that can be used to get somewhere in this conversation. The idea that there are laws that are meant to keep people unable to move up in the world is objectively and provably false, however there are undoubtedly a ton of laws that incentivize people in poverty to remain in poverty, and encourage behavior counterproductive to reaching success. Perhaps the method of reaching some form of solution is correcting the concept of systemic racism, rather than outright denying it. I would say that the term “systemic classism” is much more appropriate, because the system is set up to incentivize people to stay in their lane, and protect large corporations at the expense of small business owners.
it astounds me that so called "educated" young men and women in universities(students) stand up in these forums and actually believe what they are saying..It is indeed all about good choices we make . Yes people do fall on hard times,that is true; but it is still down to the good ,or bad choices made by the individual.
Most of the problem can be attributed to these young people just parroting what they've been taught, not just in college but from grade school on up. Most teachers have their own agendas, don't encourage finding facts and never give the other side of any argument.
The Jim Crowe laws were only prevalent in the Southeastern part of the U.S. (former slave states). The vast majority of states never had slavery or Jim Crowe laws.
All states actually did have slavery of some sort. The laws between the states were different but still had (past tense) slavery. However as you mentioned not all states had Jim Crowe Laws.
@@chrish7336 no Sir, there have never been more than 15 states that allowed slavery. All of the original colonies began abolishing slavery following the ratification of the constitution, afterwards, slavery was restricted 100% to southern states. Holding a person in slavery within a free state was a very serious crime and simply did not happen. The U.S. Congress made it illegal to U.S. American ships in the slave trade, by 1820, the penalty for doing so was death by hanging.
Charlie Kirk is entirely correct on every point this kid brings up. Hopefully some of what he say to him sinks in! But I wouldn't bet the farm on it...
I'm not sure why conservatives don't make this tie... The left calls out institutional racism... It's not specifically racism as it's more classism, but for sure affects a large swath of black people. But those laws charlie mentioned regarding benefits doled out to people who are unmarried but if they get married they lose the benefits. That's institutional "racism". There are tons of programs out there that by design (intended or unintended) propogate the continuance of the poor black community. These are all leftist programs btw that are under the guise of helping. It's called the soft bigotry of low expectations. "These poor black people will never make it without our help". That's racism. And if anyone, white, black or other falls into that trap, they become wholly dependent on the system and it creates generations of communities that struggle to get out from under it.
And it's not just "free money". It's the stipulations that come with it. Like don't get a job. Don't get married. If you get a job, you better make less than a certain amount. But the amount is so low it's more affordable to just stay on state benefits and be poor. Once you take a job you also have to pay for daycare and gas and everything else. Depending on how much the job pays you lose your food cards, lose your state funded medical insurance benefits, lose your monthly checks. Guess what, as little as all of those benefits are in total, it's still more than you might make in a job after you incure extra bills like the gas and daycare previously mentioned. Just saying. People can get out of it, they do it all the time, but it's hard, and scary, and the benefits are used as a trap to keep people voting a certain way.
Turning point, please stop using these click bait titles. It hurts you. This was a respectful gentleman with a poor view of the world (imo). These titles do you more harm than good.
They (The GOP) sure are by comparison, but I wouldn't trust that they wouldn't have pulled some crap if they were the ones in power for the last 40 years. Last I checked, the GOP isn't pushing to cut kids genitals off, reject biology, and demonize an entire race.
My Grand father fought the Japanese in WW11. I went to several of his Army reunions. Some of the other vets would single me out & tell me that my dad saved their lives. They said that dad was a stone cold killer; until the enemy gave up. When they gave up, he protected them. Evidently he often said that there has been too much killing today. Those are the words of his combat friends. So, I guess, "Fight to the death until you no longer have to. Then become a healer & not a killer."
Build a house and invite people to come live with you and then listen to them complain to you "why do you have a bigger bedroom. You said make yourself at home'
As a white American, a latino, especially an illegal one, and blacks will get free things over me any day and the more kids, the more free stuff. I experienced it when I lost my small business I started at age 16 when forced to close during covid and as a tax payer all these years, I was denied any temporary help.
When I stand as a sovereign being, as a master, as the creator that I know that I am, I respect and honor every experience, every aspect, because I know that they’re there to share wisdom. But the only way they can share their wisdom with me is when I’m owning my godself. When I’m in that moment loving and accepting and allowing all that I can be.
