I am a 52 year old white male, have never owned a new vehicle, never owned a house, did not go to college and basically live paycheck to paycheck. I have never been married and have no children. I don't recall ever taking the SAT let alone taking a "prep class". I never had a tutor. I got into some trouble as a kid but never did anything stupid enough to get arrested or been in jail. I have worked since the age of 16 and worked full time since I turned 18. Both my parents worked, my dad had multiple jobs to keep my family fed and housed, all of them blue collar work. Neither of my parents went to college, only one of my siblings went to college but did not finish. My dad made sure to involve me with any work being done on or around the house, be it yard work, home repairs or even basic housework. My parents took me to church every Sunday, we ate dinner together most nights and my parents were sure to "practice what they preached". There was never alcohol allowed in the house and my parents never drank or smoked in front of us kids. I have seen many examples of racism and have been the victim of it before. I have seen and known many people of different ethnicities that were successful and some that were not but have never seen anything to suggest that "success" was one sided and based off of race. Based off my life experience and observations I find the idea of "systemic racism" very hard to believe.
I am white and grew up relatively poor. However, my family were able to easily obtain a mortgage and buy a home in the area they desired. I had access to great Schools. Thanks to living in thriving community I was able to get my first job at 15 and I have never been discriminated against because of my skin color. Just because you're poor, doesn't mean you don't have privileges.
@@lastgames3611 But I HAVE been discriminated against for my skin color, by Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, Persian. But I don't assume all of them are a-holes just because some of them are.
@@jamesreck8476 You can't be discriminated against because of your skin color when you're white. You can experience prejudice for sure, but not discrimination.
@lastgames3611 this statement doesn't make sense to me. How can minorities not be racist to other races? You're saying this isn't possible. Prove it. Change my mind.
Absolutely. Also, do these people think that schools in poor white areas also aren’t underfunded for the exact same reasons? This is video’s arguments are very flimsy
@@aaronlandry3934 False argument. There was no argument made that poor whites go to better schools. The argument is that if you are born white in America you have a higher probability of getting ahead than a non-white person. The argument made is that there was deliberate bias in choosing which district to red-line.
Ed Bruce No, this video’s argument is based on blatant stereotypes that every non-white person is poor and is therefore disadvantaged in life in multiple ways. However, reality pokes several holes into an argument this flimsy. The mere existence of poor white people debunks the entire part about race, because if it were race based, poor white areas wouldn’t also be redlined. Additionally, it intentionally leaves out things such as Affirmative Action and mandatory diversity requirements for companies, because they contradict other points claimed in here that were likely drawn from some flimsy Sociology “studies” that cherry-picked evidence to go off of (imagine Sociology being unscientific. Unbelievable, I know.).
@@aaronlandry3934 I cast my vote here as well, the fact is education has been the down right culprit in much of today's issues. Much of education is wish washed into only providing a single perspective instead of exploring history to its fullest (Good and the Bad). The other thing is many cities that have high minority low wage populations happen to be cities with many corrupt politicians for many years. Keep voting them in and you will never see change in your area.
I live in a rural county. I'm in one of very few conservative counties in my state. We have some of the lowest property taxes in our state. We also have a lower population because the area is primarily rural. Very few "neighborhoods" exist where i live. Yet, our schools have consistently been named as some of the best in the state. We have schools with playgrounds and fields for lacrosse, football and baseball. (even at the elementary school) Tax revenue is hardly the primary reason for a school to be good or bad, it's the people in it. Other than that, it's just a building.
@@leftoverporkchop9972 not quite, redlining rules change by state, county, and town (again depending on the state) It's not federal so it can vary on how the state wants to fund rural areas.
@@nutella1343 not to mention after covid the schools received billions for upgrading HVAC systems etc. yet here recently they are closing schools as the summer temps arrive because they don't have airconditioning.
its not a theory its a fact he is talking about black people who were brought here as slaves Asians were not slaves in America read the history only blacks were slaves in this country..systemic racism was mad against black people too keep us down and in jail most of the jails in America are filled wt black people not whites or asians so what are you talking about theory wake up and get your head out of clouds we are oppressed
"but wut about ashiyun immigrants" There's a difference between African Americans and Immigrants (including other Africans) - most 'legal' immigrant groups are better off than even the average white person, because they already had decent education/financial backing/both before coming to the states. And even though asian immigrants have been discriminated against, they were never enslaved. The after effects of Slavery and BRUTAL anti-black racism make all the difference here. Btw, This isn't a theory dumbass it's an observation

They did that on purpose. If you actually watch the video, they made a point in giving him a black sounding name because studies have shown white sounding resumes get more interview requests than other ethnic names. There are many studies where in an experiment where there's the same resume and the only variable is the name, the whtie names get more opprotunities. 3:05
This also applies to Hispanics in the US. Los Angeles an example. The low funded schools are segregated with 95 percent Hispanics…teachers underpaid and constantly pink slipped, and all mentioned in the video for African Americans. As well as teachers treating you like you are dumb for speaking Spanish.
This isu true, but I don't see yall speaking out against it, it seems like black folks have to fight yall battle.And they shouldn't unless ur black hispanic. I hear black fols say black and brown, but I don't hear hisapnics saying black and brown. Hispanic is not a race by the way its just a culture

In fact, you can go to the wiki page now and see there's still banks getting sued for Redlining as recent as 2015. In case you're too lazy to look it up: _"The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced a $200 million settlement with Associated Bank over redlining in Chicago and Milwaukee in May 2015. _*_The three-year HUD observation led to the complaint that the bank purposely rejected mortgage applications from black and Latino applicants._*_ The final settlement required AB to open branches in non-white neighborhoods, just like HSBC._ _"New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced a settlement with Evans Bank for $825,000 on September 10, 2015. An investigation had uncovered the erasure of black neighborhoods from mortgage lending maps. _*_According to Schneiderman, of the over 1,100 mortgage applications the bank received between 2009 and 2012, only four were from African Americans._*_ Following this investigation, the Buffalo News reported that more banks could be investigated for the same reasons in the near future."_ _"The United States Department of Justice announced a $33 million settlement with Hudson City Savings Bank, which services New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, on September 24, 2015. _*_The six-year DOJ investigation had proven that the company was intentionally avoiding granting mortgages to Latinos and African Americans and purposely avoided expanding into minority-majority communities._*_ The Justice Department called it the "largest residential mortgage redlining settlement in its history." As a part of the settlement agreement, HCSB was forced to open branches in non-white communities."_ Also read this article: interactive.wbez.org/2020/banking/disparity/ Do more than just watch one video of a guy who's known for saying shit, just to say it. Because every reputable source will show you, based on data that redlining has generational effects, and that it's still happening.

Oppression is communist Russia, where you get killed for saying the wrong thing.
Would have liked to have seen more facts, resources etc to support the statements made in the video rather than simply giving a hypothetical narrative and calling it true. I think the problem, although very real, is highly oversimplified in this video. You pretend like the civil rights movements have not achieved anything and that literally every white person is a racist. I think it is dangerous to address a serious issue in such a populistic way. If this were just an example, fine ( maybe ) but the title literally says "Systemic Racism Explained" and it does not even scratch the surface.

Oh please. This is clearly classism. This is like saying a poor white person lives better than a rich black person JUST BECAUSE they are white,which is entirely untrue. Switch the roles and see that this is classism. Next time try a video on a black student and a white student from similar backgrounds, status and family wealth and see the immense difference. It's all about class.
If poverty effects the black community disproportionately, then addressing poverty will aid them disproportionately too. One thing that can be done to help is deal with illegal immigration.

A good example of systemic or institutional racism is showing preference in college admissions to people of color even when their test scores are lower than those of white or Asian people.
i will never imagine how anyone thinks that this is an issue even close to the scale of actual systemic racism, especially enough to comment it as if it’s a counter point to this video. just admit you’re a closed minded moron that refuses to understand exactly what we all know as fact. Systemic racism exists and favors the white majority. what else explains racial disparities? i’m guessing you couldn’t offer an explanation. thanks for trying though! maybe next time when your IQ increase or you reach the 8th grade, you’ll do better!
Exactly, like what Morgan Freeman, just stop talking about race. Unfortunately the woke left doesn't want to do that, and the mob media fuel the flames cause they always emphasize the people's race when there's an incident of a white suspect against a black victim
@Hampeblixt So much information. It's over generalized in every aspect such as assuming all black Americans are poor and white Americans are wealthy. Also, redlining was abolished and made illegal in the 60's.
@Hampeblixt In the beginning of the video. The narrorator states that "Jamals" neighbors are all black and the other neighborhood (the wealthy one) is all white. This video demonstrates class privilege not white privilege.
@Hampeblixtyes it is just an example, a very poor one, and an example of the same crude data narrative that BLM made some believe.. only partial data, not the whole picture with all the data..just the we are victim data, not we might actually be partially responsible for the data....

@@MarcusPurpleHayes Affirmative Action is a free hand out, that all minorities get. For example, I am retired from the Postal Service. We all took a test. I got a 92%. People of color got 5 extra percent, just for being a minority. So those minorities with an 87% that were hired, were hired with my group. It translates into them getting hired about a year earlier than White people that got an 87% on their test. That's just one example of a free handout. There is racist from all races. In these days that the United States when a Black man can get the most votes to become president twice, I see no more need for affirmative action. Once again, this is just one example. I grew up in a poor neighborhood with a high amount of Hispanics. We all went to the same schools, churches, stores, parks, etc. We played together. Got in trouble together. There is nothing wrong with that. But those Hispanics get free handoust, and I didn't. So I think everyone should be treated the same. The way God wants it to be.
Doesn't mean the system itself doesn't have these biases. Yes, Black people in America are better off than they were before, especially compared with segregation and slavery, but that doesn't mean that there aren't still systems in place that knowingly or worse unknowingly enforce rules that discriminate mainly people of color, especially black people and the poor as well. This is a system built by rich white men meant to benefit mainly them, now sure there are rich black Americans too, but the larger percentage of blacks are poor in comparison to white people due to many policies with favored white people more. Take the beginning of the suburbs with the Levittown, they were originally segregated or for whites only, that wasn't that long ago historically and that still has an effect today.

Aerospace Engineer99 I agree. In addition, if we follow the logic of the presentation, when people of African descent use “white sounding names,” are they then “appropriating” from the European culture? I believe this ideology is a slippery slope. Racism exists. However, to claim present systemic racism is a bit difficult to totally conceive. I think too many people compare themselves to others when they should be comparing themselves to how they were yesterday.

Maybe if people take more time in grooming their children the schools could be a better place. It starts at home it's not the teacher's fault. Money can't build a better person if they have no interest in changing their habits and behavior.
Train better teachers. They’re the ones that inspire or quell the dreams of children. If the child has no one to rely on in their life, then a good teacher that listens and cares and encourages can save them from poverty and failure.

@@hdqb2813 Red herring. We're talking about demographic trends, not individuals. You're aware that in America, if you're extremely poor, the deck is stacked overwhelmingly against you, right? That is an objective fact of the American economy. If all schools were properly funded and staffed regardless of where the schools are, and if colleges/universities were either free or at least a fraction as expensive as they actually are, then maybe you'd have a point.
My father gets paid 72 dollars an hour but he works hard for 25 years to get to that point. He does get me stuff but only when I’ve worked hard on something. I always have to work to get the things that I want cause my dad don’t want me to think I don’t have to work for money.
What I continue to find amusing is how “Hollywood” portrays blacks in movies and commercials. Although most criminals are blacks, the “good blacks” appear in scenes where their homes are beautiful and their life styles are very expensive. The interracial families are dressed in designer clothes. The kids go to awesome looking schools. They all drive around in fancy looking automobiles. The parents are doctors, lawyers, educators, highly ranked military and police men and women, politicians, and businessmen. Their kids play sports and attend top ranked colleges. I never saw these movies when I was a kid living in a Southie project! Gosh darn, we’ve come a long way as a country. Racial tensions have been calmed! The television commercials are even better. They’d have us believe that the U.S. population is one of interracial lovers, parents, and kids. Everyone is dressed in fine clothing, has a nice home, and has an expensive car. Seriously, this is wonderful. Blacks dominate sports, government, education, communications, businesses, medicine, entertainment, etc. Finally moving on! God Bless America.
You guys obviously were the ones who didn’t pay attention in class. Just missed the whole point of “systemic racism” past history is still present today
@@coachp3779 Absolutely false. White people go through the exact same thing too. It's about classism, not racism. Poor neighborhoods are governed by bad policy from their local government. If you want change in these neighborhoods, start locally, not federal, because the state is the one taxing you for your schools, not federal. You can play the race card all you want but remember that no one cares what you are. Black, white, brown, politics only cares where the money and votes are are at. The media will play the race card all they want but in the end they don't care. The media doesn't care. The Democrats don't care. Republicans don't care. If people are gonna wait for the federal government to do something then you'll die waiting because it will never happen. It all starts local. I had plenty of black friends who grew up in rough parts of town who didn't give in to the social stigma that blacks are oppressed and can't do anything. Same for Latinos and whites who also grew up in these areas. Now they're more successful than me, and I'm happy for them. Maybe if people stopped thinking it's racism and not classism that limits a majority of people then we'd actually get somewhere.
this IS racism. even though the character Jamal got into a top university, just because he had a black sounding name the employers didn’t give him the same opportunities
Well that's exactly the thing. A lot of systemic racism stems from a class issue. A class issue created and mainly oppressing blacks and colored people because areas are still being effected by policies set in place a hundred years ago I.E. the red lining neighborhoods.
Sure - your statement isn't wrong about matters that do relate with land/wealth (i.e. school resources, as mentioned at the start of the video). However you should also consider that only 10% of non-Hispanic white Americans live in poverty, while 26% of black Americans do (one in fucking four). Ideally you would want a system that means that black people aren't 2.6 times more likely to be in a poverty-stricken school district. Other issues such as incarceration (probably causing the greatest negative impact on black Americans as it becomes a lifetime sentence for the prisoner and causes mass disturbance in their families, with fatherless children often shown to have much, much more difficult upbringings) have more clear racial biases, but again, as you point out, could be related back to poverty. Black Americans have traditionally been incarcerated for "poor" drugs such as crack or heroine, while white Americans don't particularly suffer similar consequences for "rich" drugs, most notably cocaine. So yes, there is no doubt that racism is linked to poverty, but it's more likely that the relationship is inverse to what you suggest - racism causes poverty.
It sounds like redlining was done around poor African American neighborhoods more so than poor white neighborhoods. That’s what the video seems to be saying and re-enforcing with the fact that poor white people have been more likely to get a loan than middle class black people.
As someone who grew up in a poor white slum. daughterclam is not entirely accurate. We do not tend to get loans because we tend to be in far too much debt. Our cars get towed. There's barely any food to put on the table. Clothing comes from Walmart or other cheap places and rarely. The schooling is only good if you are lucky enough to find a slum in a decent neighborhood, or if the district covers a good neighborhood along with a bad one. There are much more African Americans in poverty than white's but the only way poverty is better for the white community is the job situation. It's only somewhat better for the white household though if you are comparing someone who is black to a single mom who isn't overly attractive. I love these videos for educational purposes because too many priviledged white don't realize these things, but I do admit it is detrimental to the poverty stricken white community since these videos do tend to cause people to determine if you are priviledged based on your skin color.
That’s what I was thinking how is this racist this happens all over the world it’s not white Privilege there is no such thing it’s just life there is all kind of people livening in Poverty not just black people
Video: Points out how they red-line a LOCATION and then makes it about RACE... Areas that are predominantly black getting red-lined is not racist. The bank didn't say "That area has lots of black people, red-line it.". They said "We will loose a lot of money via loans that never get repaid if we lend to that location(regardless of skin color), red-line it.".
That’s why trailer parks also got redlined. It wasn’t because the people there were white, it’s because the people there are usually on again and off again on welfare, usually don’t keep up their properties, and don’t pay back their loans. Of course banks want nothing to do with people in areas like them
So I didn't see how racism came into play. This is the plight of coming from a poor family and the family can overcome just like many poor white family's and black family's did and do.
It comes into play because racism causes people to not get the jobs that their white counterparts gets.Thus schools are not funded as well for black children which isn’t fair. Why watch such a video to literally not watch it?
So all white folks have generational wealth? Many of us are immigrants who came here with nothing and had to face all kinds of challenges to make it in this country. Had unusual names, accents, poor parents, zero connections, many didn’t even speak the language when they arrived. We didn’t blame America or try to change it. We appreciated the opportunity and worked hard to get where we are.
But there wasn't a SYSTEM designed to specifically keep them down. As I explained even into the 70's the evidence is obvious that our government specifically singled out people of color as targets of oppression. If if since the 80's we had ZERO racism, the effects of the systemic oppression will still be with us today. That's what this is about. Why you keep trying to spin it is beyond me. Either you don't listen or your just trying to prove a point you don't have🤷♂️
Remember the video that showed you where they showed the extent to how far White society went to keep blacks from establishing themselves. Poor whites were able to still buy homes. Get the fuck out of here with your soft argument.
@@rapperhostile still not sure how system oppression still exists if there's no system designed to keep poc down...or your victim mentality makes you believe its existence
@@rapperhostile that's what happened in the past...now black people with low credits have higher chance of getting loans than white people with the same credits score
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs - partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” ― Booker T. Washington

Why does systemic racism supposedly hold black people back from achieving academic success but it doesn't hold them back from achieving success in sports, music and entertainment?
An even better question is why does “systemic racism” seem to specifically affect black people. New immigrants (specifically Asian Indians who have skin as dark and sometimes darker than black Americans) have the highest levels of education and income of any sub-group in America. America isn’t racist, rather some cultures in America are degenerate and dysfunctional.
@@panchodelaverga8929 I've heard that black people from Africa and from the Caribbean who go to america tend to be quite successful in their respective endeavours and don't seem to suffer from "systemic racism".
@@panchodelaverga8929the culture of african americans is harmful. But their culture is a product of their history. A history that africans dont share.
Danny G TV Please look into the books or interviews, etc. with Thomas Sowell or Larry Elder. They speak in depth on each of these issues and beyond. They are both scholars and have written many books between them. It is east stuff to find.
I feel like everyone who falls in line with the BLM ideology are suffering from a form of PTSD. Like how a soldier coming home from war can be set off by the slightest thing, anything that can be remotely perceived as even the slightest bit racist/bigoted in any way makes them think that the country as a whole is just a breath away from slavery times or Nazi Germany.
I was just talking to a black man that owns about 10 properties, paid in full, and makes a passive income. He travels to Dubai etc… He’s black and is way wealthier than I could ever possibly be, especially since the housing market is now impossible to get into.
what does that have to do with anything that's 1 black person out of the millions that are living in poverty and incarcerated because of systemic racism so shut up wt that bs we was brought here as slaves its in the history you can't run from the truth
I'm white and did not have any of the privilege and nice things that these white families had. Where's that White privilege that everyone talks about? Don't get me wrong, your video was entertaining.
The fact this video started with a black person in a poor neighbourhood and a white person in a wealthy neighbourhood does a bad job at proving racism but classism
... did you watch the video though? It was only about 2 generations ago that classism was not based on race, which explains why there is a large disparity present between races. Over time, this disparity should subside however.
Geo Van But it’s not classism based on race. Maybe 40 years ago, yeah. Today those things are separate. But there’s not really opportunities that a poor white person has that a poor black person doesn’t. In fact with the all the affirmative action and race-based scholarships, it’s seems like black people are having more opportunities. If the video wanted to demonstrate a present day systematic racism, it should have compared a black person and white person of the same economic circumstances.
@@Solo-vh9fm That's why it's called systemic racism. Because the racism happened 50 or maybe 100 years ago, but the impact is still greatly affecting certain groups now even though the racism itself has dropped dramatically in recent years.
Geo Van No. It would be systematic racism from the past. But people are trying to prove that systematic racism is still a thing today and this video does a terrible job at proving that. Could just change the races around and make a video on how white people are affected by systematic racism? But no I wouldn’t because that’s stupid and the video demonstrates classism at most.
LadyIronTiger LadyIronTiger first problem: the author is trying to make it seem that only African Americans are poor and live in a poor neighborhood, that is definitely not the case as there are twice as many white people on the poverty line than black people. Second Problem: he uses history to explain that America’s racist past is to blame for all this, however while America’s past does affect today’s world it is not the only factor to consider when it comes to income inequality, which is an economic problem as it affects people of all races that live in poor areas. Third problem: red lining was outlawed in 1968 which means that African Americans where no longer discriminated against when it came to bank loans, as now banks debated whether they should give out loans to someone of low income, which means it is now an economic problem, not a racial one.
LadyIronTiger 4rth problem: There are actually many colleges out there that have lower standards if you where African American, meaning it was easier for them to get admitted than other races, that is in fact racist. 5th problem: the assumption that just because your grandparents where rich means that you are going to be rich, is factually wrong, income changes over time, opportunities, effort, hard work, decision making, are all factors to be taken into account.
Mr.Palbo 1) at no point did he say only black people live in poverty, so that’s a reach 2) systemic racism IS a factor, you’ve just said so yourself, so again, you haven’t proved him wrong 3) redlining DID affect housing for black and brown folk, and this shaped neighborhoods as they are today. You still haven’t proved him wrong there, either
As an asian from poor family, I don’t understand how poverty leads to bad education. You can find plenty of high quality free online lecture in youtube.
Christina Tambua So they can do tiktok and instagram with phone, but cannot watch educational clip in youtube? Does youtube ever charge students for watching those lectures? Also do you think they cannot even understand English, as they failed to pass the test? Then how do they even communicate? Even when they cannot undetstand some of those clips, they can always find easier ones. Do you think they cannot understand anything at all? Then maybe you are the racist. Even when they don’t have computer and have ripped book, they can always go to public library. That’s what other people do. Stop making excuses. If you are black, then these kind of excuses are never going to change your life. And if you are not black, you are treating black people as who cannot do anything without your help, and that is just offensive and ignorant.
@@coldpizza292 I'm saying children shouldn't be learning from a computer screen to subsidize development you would get from a well funded school experience. Are you actually this dense in real life or do you get off on trolling
I like how red lining is supposedly about race but that’s never explained. Sounds like banks didn’t want to loan to certain areas…. Not certain skin colours. Now if it happens a certain colour of people lived there when the neighbourhood was redlined maybe it had to do with culture instead of race.
"the school is funded by property taxes" America has the most dysfunctional funding system i have ever heard of. In Bulgaria schools are funded by the Ministry of Education through a central budget for the entire nation. Local municipalities are not expected to fund their schools but they usually provide additional funding to raise the quality of education even further. Every single school in this nation is the same. Same pool, same classrooms, same teacher salaries. Heck, teacher salaries are set by the central government. Overcrowding isn't even a thing - the state just builds more schools if the existing ones are nearing full capacity. My tuition in the oldest, most respected University costed me.. roll the drums.. $200 per semester. A room in a dormitory costs $30 a month.
I came to America from a third world country with (nothing) and 23 years later - I have all I(want). it's hard to comprehend this. Any system can be navigated or beaten.
There is no "system". In this case they use many fancy words and complex concepts to excuse the behavior of a certain demographic. Why can't we just admit that races are different and accept eachothers' differences.
You are one person. You are talking about hundreds of million black people trying to achieve a greater good that the system make black people compete for. What are those odds?
@@privateuser7 Because there are no set of genes that can consistently predict whether a person will be perceived as black or any other race in society. This is why race is considered to be a social construct
@@kcmaldonado3948 yep I agree with that. Also, if no abortion is to take place(if it's not a threat to the women's life/health, result of rape and incest) then hold all the fathers accountable for making the life that they helped create.
You know what I don’t understand. Whenever us black people begin to break down the problem, white people feel the need to argue about it. If it’s not true, then why get so mad about it?
the ones that suffer is not because of skin collar it's because all I care to do is contribute to the community and do my job and other people only focus on fucking as much money as possible out of whoever will take it.
white privilege has nothing to do with how much money someone makes. It is based on the fact that you may be given better opportunities in life just because you are white, in comparison to your black and poc counterparts as even if they are fully qualified for a certain job they will be less likely to get it because they are black/poc
Oh you mean black fathers wrongfully arrested on false charges? Do you mean black fathers arrested over minor crimes that whites get away with? Or do you mean black fathers who are murdered in the streets by white cops? Systemic racism affects virtually EVERY aspect of black communities. You're not very smart, are you?
@@BB-gi4ug None of what you stated contradicted what I said. I gave reasons, you only gave results. Also I wasn't aware stating facts meant someone was upset.
@@jashinslayer No I was stating what he was actually talking about. Also, when you're typing the way you are and questioning someone's intelligence on the internet. It's pretty clear.
You can't stop people from having implicit biases. These stereotypes will always come to people's minds, and they themselves know that many of the stereotypes are based on true tendencies. But you can get people to remind themselves that not all individuals of a certain ethnicity necessarily conform to the stereotypes.

@@slevinchannel7589 - Sure, why not? I'll watch anything if I've got the time. Why would you not imagine me going and informing myself about racism? What did i say that you think is wrong?
I live in a mediumly wealthy neighborhood. I have 5 black family’s on my street alone. And school districts aren’t based on color, they are based on the city or school district you live.
I grew up in one, and our high school with around 1000 students, give or take, had maybe 10 black people and ~20 hispanics (including me). This school covered three towns as well. This isn't a defense of the video. I'm just saying personal anecdotes are not good reference points for opinions.
This is your personal anecdote though. No one said there isnt any successful Black families. It seems you want to believe Black families and White families have a equal socioeconomic status on average which is not the case.
What about the fact that nearly three-quarters of black children are born to single mothers? What about gang culture and being accused of 'acting white' if you do care about studying?
White Privilege? Nope. www.google.com/amp/s/money.com/rich-families-lose-wealth/%3famp=true According to this, only 30% of wealthy families retain their wealth after the first generation, and only 10% by generation three. Generational Wealth? Nope
@@jonjones9211 you are the racist is clear specially to any black person the comments you made is distasteful how about the fact that police systems in certain areas won't hire the black guys but they'll hire the white and Mexican and Hispanic police officers but not the black men causing them to go working the hood or Urban cities where crime rate is very high and even given these white people the authority to cross over and go to those same Hood and and profile black men based off the community so screw you and go to hell
😂😂😂 imagine actually believing this nonsense. If you live in the west you have ultimate privilege regardless of your skin colour. It's no wonder foreign nationals leave their countries for ours.
Just because it’s horrible somewhere else doesn’t mean these atrocities are not true. Why are you racist? All of racists being racist… My God has news for you all, he gave you all a chance to change.

@@PeterParker-ff7ub and it's based on race. I'm sorry that you have to feel bad for being white, maybe shut the fuck up and try to do something about it instead of ignoring you fucking baby bitch
@@Bilbosh4ggins Not really. I watched both Ben's and Vaush's response and Vaush's points and counterarguments were really bad. For example he said charter schools don't increase educational outcomes for minorities which is blatantly untrue. Another example is that he simply dismissed Ben's evidence that racial discrimination in employment goes away when the black names are something like Jefferson, which indicates that it's not necessarily the blackness of the applicant that employers are taking into account but rather their socioeconomic status as reflected by their names. If employers are using their names as a sorting device to infer socioeconomic status and the probability that the applicants are going to make good workers is not the same among black and white workers. You could only conclude that this was a result of discrimination if it was the case that the behaviors, attitudes to work, productivities, of black workers are going to be the same as white workers. There is no reason to infer this to be the case. In fact black people typically go to poorer schools, which you may argue is the result of other forms of discrimination which is a separate issue to tackle, but it is true that black people graduate from schools with far poorer educational outcomes than white schools. In essence if a resume says that both the black applicant and the white applicant both have a high school diploma, while on the resume it may look exactly the same the black diploma does not indicate the same thing about the potential productivity of the black person as it would for a white person. The simple reason for this is because black diplomas from black schools are not the same as white diplomas from white schools and indicate different levels of potential performance. Employers cannot merely judge every applicant as an individual without using heuristics like the fact that black people on average graduate from worse high schools than white people, and thus are more likely to have poorer performances on the job. The cost of judging everyone as an individual is often quite high, because no one has all the information in the world. This means we have to economize on the limited information that we have available to us in the world and employers must do the same, often by using race as a heuristic measure to ascertain socioeconomic status, educational outcomes, and criminal background/behavior to help determine their likely potential productivity and profit they'll bring the company. This logic is corroborated by the fact that employers who have the capacity and find it more profitable to take upon larger costs in their employment process to judge people more as individuals and not have to resort to as many sorting devices, actually hire more blacks then other businesses. In other words businesses are not discriminating against people simply because they're black but because their name indicates certain things about their potential productivity that trying to investigate further may be too costly.
In grade school, I didn't know I was physically different till kids acknowledged it. Assigning color to these cartoon characters is racist. Not all African American people are poor and not all white people are rich. At present day, this is a class issue more than a racial one. Turning it into a racial one is a means to dilute the issue into chaos and confusion.
Arthur Mayfield Howson Actually, the correct answer would be the Jews (Asians are second), but people call you racist for saying that, but not for saying whites. Logic!
@@aaronlandry3934 Because racism is based on structural oppression (explained in this video, such as deliberately not giving black people access to decent homes, did you watch the video entirely?), and white people don't face structural oppression, so they don't experience racism. They can experience prejudice, but American society isn't built on stopping white people from doing things because of their race.
You like Krabby Patties, don't you Squidward? Huh, you seem to be excluding several actual factors like this video did to conclude these things. (Did you even watch the video?) “White people don’t experience racism.” is no dumber than claiming “Black people don’t experience racism.”. If you honestly do not understand why both are wrong already, I’m not going to bother explaining something that fundamental.
@I hate girls you should know that your username is offensive. not trying to start anything, just wanted to let you know that lots of male and female youtube users will get triggered by it. anyway, peace.
I was exposed to the issue of Blacks and Discrimination and equal rights and such when I was between 5 and 7 years old and I know I was not intelligent enough to understand the issue. I had few friends when I was a kid. Other kids did not play with me at Recess and did not eat with me at Lunchtime in school. But I worked hard anyway. Maybe I was facing discrimination myself but why care. I worked hard anyway to better my life and I also generally had faith in God. Nothing is a guarantee of success. I simply tried not to let other people harm my chances to do something with my life and be someone I and my family would respect. To be honest, the one time when it was obvious that my University was attempting to "help me" they got involved with my education and pushed me in a really bad direction anyway. I realized after some time that they were having me do research on the Hippie Counterculture and all the drug use and dropping out and anti-American stuff. This looked bad at the time unless you were a musician and eventually I learned that one of the Instructors "advising and helping me" learn about Hippie Economics went to work for the Clinton Administration. I was interested in Government like a lot of people but I've never asked any of these people for help. When the University came to me with a research project it meant more work for me and maybe no reward whatsoever. So Blacks have told me that Discrimination is a Lie and not to worry about it and I would advise all Blacks to pursue your interests and dreams and fight for what is important to you. I have done research on Education in one northern Community that used to be a big Republican Town and was reading about Education during the "separate but equal" Era. I need to continue to work and do a lot more but reading and studying and all it seems to me that the community may have been doing everything it could to give Blacks a good experience. I know you cannot cover everyone or every situation but at least this one community where I lived part of my life looked like it was doing some things right. For one thing, having a Black School in town meant that Black Children had Black Role Models. They had someone to look up to and something to strive for if they wanted. I don't expect the world to be perfect and I don't ask anyone for help. God help and Bless America and let's always look to the power of the individual and individual effort.
