It sounds pretty, but the underlying message is to vilify one race and exclusivize one group as inherintly bad and others good, when all civilizations, all groups are guilty of the same actions. If we acknowledge we are literally all very similar, then we can stand together and move toward a united future.

@@calundoconteal6851 Bewildered by your response. Who was vilified here? He precisely points out that "we are literally all very similar" and that race was invented to create new categories of winners and losers, and we need to know that in order to work effectively together on undoing the inequities that have grown out of that.

@@inclinations1 But that is all based off the presdumption that inequities exist due to rscsm todsy, and there is no definitive evidence that this is true. Furtheromre, anytime, I don't care if it is from some made up construct, any time you simplify a whole group of people (and yes, White is classied as a group whether made up or not) you become the exact definition of a racist. Also, if race is purely a construct, then why would you say that racism exists? Shoul'dnt the word being used be tribalism? There is really not much of a difference, and the way in which we categorize is arbitrary no matter what attributes you are defining. I agree that we should condemn racism or general prejudice wherever or whenever it takes place, but stamping people the brand of racist simply based on their biology and not their actions is completely insane to me, and no different than what Blacks went through approx. 60 plus years ago when racism was actually an institutional block for them.

@@inclinations1 He is emphasizing "Whites" as the main proprieters of racism, when that is not true whatsoever, and to suggest that a vast group of people with varying ancestry and ethnic backgrounds are somehow responsible for atrocities commited by people that have nothing to do with them is absurd. Yes, I bewlieve we are all essentially the same, humans, but that is not what this guy proposes. This guy proposes that his being white, and white people in general, makes him somehow unique or special in the case of racism, which is an outright and blatant lie. Raciusm, tribalism, call it what you will, we all are susceptible and if you do not acknowledge this fact then you do not really adhere to the notion that we are all very similar in a genuine sense.

Did that teacher teach you about the aftermath that lead to the Jim Crow Laws? IF Lincoln weren't assassinated there would have been no need for Dr. King 100 YEARS later? I know it's an oversimplified question of a complex problem but it still pi$$es me off sometimes. We had just fought a war with ourselves, for the right reasons, only to turn around and waste the results. Go back even further. I know Thomas Jefferson owned slaves but it has also been proven that he originally intended for Slavery to be abolished in our founding documents. Such was/ is the BS involved with Politics.

So agree 👍 👏 it's 💯💯 correct..

Donald Trump basically said the quiet part out loud when asked why he was being so divisive and fueling division. Trump responded "That I wouldn't be president if I didn't"

Yup. The one who smelt it delt it on the ism's. No one cares about your skin color. They care about your character.

Trump isn’t your enemy .. the Democratic Party, who focuses on exterior as diversity, is. Always have been. Stay wise

You are awesome. People are supposed to be ashamed for loving more than one Person but feel powerful for destroying People based on their Race. Unbelievable. Education is important.

Racists can be any color.

In my experience, the black skinned Americans are just as active in promoting racial segregation as their fellow fair skinned countrymen. The real segregation should be between those who choose to believe the truth about race and those who choose to reject this truth for their own advantage (both sides). Only then can you build a solid, unified society where everyone can interact freely without throwing around these evil societal taboos in people's faces. Since this can only happen with our children it is very important that we prevent their minds from being hijacked by our primitive notions (both leftist and hard right) and just let them make friends figure it out for themselves.

Racism is fiction believed to be truth where~when emotions driwn out your ability to thibk properly. You have to be an idiot to think that it's a correct description of other people's motivation to do whatever it is they do in trying to sustain their optimal states of life quality.

Stop it. 😂 blacks are the most racist people ive ever known

@Wolong Gong There's no Latin word "razza" that's Italian. Also, if what you mean by race is just prejudiced attitudes towards different groups of people, then yes, as the video explains, that's been around forever. But the specific idea that the human species is divided into biologically distinct races and that the "white race" is superior is a relatively recent idea

Facts bruh

@Wolong Gong Did I say the word "race" didn't have a Latin origin? No. I said "razza" isn't a Latin word. It isn't. That's not opinion, it's a fact

@Wolong Gong I didn't think this needed to b said... but yes... the word race did exist prior... and it had dif meanings by dif groups over dif periods of time... but wht it never meant... was that... devoid of culture, nation or region... Based on physical appearance alone... People were grouped. "French race"... Not in the same realm of how the concept of race is wielded today...

Race is another product of people ranking each other. Slaves are literally a product of the value ranking of people. Progressives do it too : "if you're not with me, you're not anti-racism therefore you're racist and a bad person". If you can rank order people like that, you can do anything to them.

What was the question? If you don't mind me asking

What was that question? because I bet that has been answered along time ago .you probably wasn't listening to the person you wanted to come from

Racial hatred of white people by guilt obsessed white liberals has destroyed America which is now a failed state.

Nonsense. If your question was "where did racism come from?", you were just lied to. How can a book by a Portuguese man in the 1500's be it when Arabian people used and traded African slaves from long before and probably in bigger numbers. Did these Arabians see those African slaves as equals when enslaving them? No. Slavery is an ancient practice and based on overpowering others and then having them so submissive that they won't keep trying to run away or rise up against you.

This was a peculiarly American view of the subject. Throughout history slaves came from people beaten in war or stolen. Slavers always thought of them as inferior for one reason or another. There are loads of prejudices between nations that look the same…makes it ‘easier’ to distinguish between people when they look different for whatever reason.

Not a good way of achieving veracity. Humans are not exceptional or external to life on Earth, and if plants or animals may have subspecies, so may humans. Facts should not be disregarded because they might enable undesirable thinking, it’s a personal responsibility to not be horrible to other people.

@@Herosennin Lonny, you are the racist and bigot here.

@@Herosennin We are excusing the racism that is claimed as such without knowledge of the true meaning of what racism really looks like. Black people have made a mockery out of racism and have turned people away from caring to fix these problems. Because black people have left ! bad taste in our mouths on the one hand everyone is racist, privileged etc.. blacks have no solution to the problem because they don't want to fix it. More benefiting to continue claims of racism. But on the other hand black people have no problem holding their hands out for white people to pay for their needs. It not because of black people contribution from paying taxes. Black people actually receive more than their fair share of government assistance way more than they pay in 13,% population and only 3% pay federal taxes.

@@annmhmoore0771 First of all, the issue is first of all generalizing 'blacks' as a monolith. African people are individuals with independent opinions that can correspond at times while completely being the opposite at the same time, just like with any group of people. Second no solutions? Do you mean that a specific group has downplayed racism for centuries now, called Africans 'victims' as if they supposedly are not a victim of racism instead of being willing to talk with them. That's actually mockery. Portraying racism as just some loser victim plight which honestly only the group of people would ever say that deal with it the least or the ones that actually portray it on others. That's actually making a mockery with racism especially when having the audacity to claim that the group that basically says:' Please listen to us' for decades are the one making a mockery of it. Honestly it has never changed. From the day of Africans asking for freedom from slavery, the days of MLK and Africans asking for not equal but merely civil rights, to the day today for every single instance of them trying to call out the issue, they have been fought against. Nothing was ever given as a majority vote and nothing was ever reasoned with as a majority vote. There has always been a group that no matter what form of equality Africans begged for, they were struck down immediately and called liars for even insinuating racism exists. At the same time today all those rights that was FOUGHT FOR are used as arguments why they shouldnt complain, since I mean the laws that y'all had to FIGHT FOR are 'equal' now. Who cares about the morality that it was never agreed upon by the majority which happens for every single other problem today right? But now a certain group has decided to stop talking for the reason that they have noticed that no matter what they say, there will always be people shutting it down, suddenly its a bad thing? The oh so by said group praised MLK is praised because he 'talked' and 'peacefully protested' when in reality what actually gave Africans their rights was the 3 days of unprecedented nation wide riots after MLK was shot for daring to vouch for equality peacefully. It was never given. That's why MLK was just as much called a leftists marxist just like the plight is called today. That's called projection. In reality its a group of white people who never wanted to talk about it and they made that very clear with lines as:' If you don't like it go back to your own country,' or 'you should start living in the future' when Africans say it's still an issue TODAY using examples of history to connect how certain things still havent changed or merely superficially, or calling them 'victims' or merely 'ineffective losers'. Would you say it's that group that's the one most willing to talk? The people who would call Africans victims not to help them but to mock them? Again you said mockery right? You can't dismiss a group entirely and their plight of equality and then be baffled they stop talking and just take action. You know what would've helped all this? That once Africans actually ask about the existence of racism and how to end it, that people wouldve actually acknowledged its an issue since clearly anyone if they want to admit it or not, knows Africans have been and mostly are the main target of racism. If the worst thing that could happen to you that feels closest to experiencing racism is someone calling you a racist or hearing a racist remark, then you have no idea whatsoever what racism really is as an ideology, why it was founded and by who.

@@Herosennin Do you think black people's problems are due to discrimination or effects of past policies/slavery? What would you say is the % impact on the overall issue e.g. 25% past racism, 75% current discrimination ?

There are all kinds of lies which say that racism is institutionalized in some way, and that white people are responsible for it by virtue of their participation. That's a fucking lie. There are lies that race or racism was invented recently, and that only white people can be racist. The worst lie of all is that racism is a major factor which holds black people back today. That's not supported by any statistics whatsoever. It's a dangerous lie that we teach to black children, which will lead them to grow up resenting white people and America as a whole.

I hope not, packing people into simple unfounded categories based on skin color does not strike me as something that should be celebrated ever.

Information and the access to it is an extremely valuable commodity. Two people hearing, reading or looking at the same information may understand very different things. Each view things from their own perspective based on their own particular history and experiences. Truth gets lost based on these histories and experiences. How do you get to the truth? Open your mind, leave “self” behind. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and be willing to treat that person as you would want to be treated. Allow truth to lead and guide you. Be objective. Look at the whole picture. This process truly works. Mr. Biewen has presented some discovered truths on his part. All some people will ever see is some small negative part to this excellent TED Talk. What about the rest of the Talk?

@@deborahgiles3221 I understand what you are saying, but the only way to be a true humanist and empath is rto not only lend your ear to specific groups of people, but lend it to everyone as well, and when you do this, only then will you get a greater picture. That is why I think the message in this video misses many key points about bettering humanity, which is not labeling and conceptualizing people no matter what their skin tone or ethnicuty is.

I think that if we need to stop talking about black/white and man/woman in order to make other comfortable with having conversations about hate and oppression then we still have a big problem.

@@owlcowl Yes, racism may have been started from a lie, but let's dig deeper. What does it mean? to label one group of people as having some responsibility inherint to them to somehow demolish an abstract concept that really is just another name for tribalism, what does this do? Does it unite people like the man says it will? Or does it give self-engrandising White people (such as the speaker) a feeling of moral superiority, thinking he is different. Well hes not different, because he is embedding people tightly into groups based on skin color which is exactly what he rails against! How can you say that race is just a construct when you use the terms from within the construct to define a whole group of people? The bottom line is, I, you, or anyone else, should be judged by how we treat other people, how we conduct ourselves, and the actions we execute, not by simply being born looking like certain particular people in history that did bad things. By that logioc, every single human being on the planet would have to take responsibility for what their ancestors did, for every civilization, everfy race, every culture every creed of people have blood wfritten uin their histiry but goid as well.

@@missbrown2041 George Orwell is a novelist. That is his quote from one of his books.

I can very much appreciate his approach, sincerity and the time he’s obviously taken to understand… I even agree with much of of what he says. But I still can’t get past hearing young kids like under the age of 6-7 and how genuinely perplexed they are hearing anyone talk about anti-racism that tends to be directed toward black people. In every instance it was as if over just the course of a 2,5 or maybe 10 questions at most they were torn between inherently knowing that racist behavior was as ridiculous as somebody using a toothpick to eat soup and Then internally/externally trying to make sense of it with assumptions (as indicated by the way their Qs progressed). I’m including kids of several races in varied living situations including my own kids at some point (and yes I’m white). It’s always bothered me and the speakers assessment definitely struck a nerve and helped explain why that struck a nerve and bothered me so much. It’s as if I was was watching helplessly as tiny human minds absorbed a lie that was being addressed by well intentioned people, be it in conversation, a book, radio, tv etc (usually radio in my personal experience) and feeling helpless. Like by constantly talking about it we’re literally inserting the lie into their subconscious. I’ve also been wildly confused over the years by how many so called liberal “progressive” people spout off in ways that they seem to believe to be ‘anti-racist’ but reek of bone deep racism when you actually stop to consider the words that I question every opinion and word they say from that point on… I don’t think we’re going about the right way as a society, but I do think he’s into something. It’s just sad that as time passes the more 50/50 & divisive things are getting… and it’s all driven by the money and power of a select few that will thrive on an perpetual, unending 50/50 split on everything. And not surprisingly, 50/50 is pretty much the only way to ensure absolutely no progress is made. I didn’t like trump but based on my conversations with real people, he was far from a racist trying to rally just white people… the 50/50 just requires him to be, so that’s how the stories told. He didn’t seem to give 2 S’s about race which is a lot more than I can say almost any of the people opposing him like he was the reincarnation of Satan.

@@jeffs8195 there is something you're not getting if you don't think Trump is racist. What do you call it when he is trying to deny black people the right to vote.

Eliminating the sin of green is an pipe dream= not logical, just like eliminating any other emotional feeling innate to humans, such as anger, joy, dishonesty etc... This is why there will always be prostitution, pedophiles, drug dealers, etc, and our job is to keep this as low as possible. The problem is that the West has decided that harsh punishment such as death penalty or an eye for an eye is not acceptable. Therefore the West will continue to have these same problems. While in places like Singapore & Indonesia, they have no drugs & rape problems bc the death penalty is given to any one that sells drugs or rape someone... Which has been keeping these problems away. I believe that if these countries do also give the death penalty to pimp & prostitutes for prostitution this will also solve this problem. But they will not bc people in high places are clients.

I'ts the way we socialyze ! Read René girard he got a good model (you can easely show teh wrong in it but no one as succeeded in it) Any group need something to coagulate, and this something is always an arbitrary victim (it can be an idea or even a part of reality ), a sacrifice..... It's on for every group created by humans, even maybe in our own psyche where whe chase away what we fear, what we want to disapear... whatr we want to sacrifice ! To prove this wrong it"s easy you juste need to find some group who are not base in mythologie or have a ritual which implies sacrifice !! So you see everywhere there are "We" there be by consequence "them" and after this violence ... Nothing to do with colour of skin the discriminatory sign choose by the group to exclude are random, the meaning of it comes after to justify the sacrifice, to justify the cohesion of the group and legitimate it. So no escape from it, group thinking is a form of trans state that facilitate the usage of violence, it's to said that is justify it, it's alaways for the justice, for equality, for the king, for the counrty, for god, all markers of discrimination that have no chance to be proven by anything but mythological thinking................. Not the best stategies to build a world of peace^^

@Max Johnson I would argue that racism is not tribalism. We fear or hate or whatever other tribes, other groups of people who believe in different things or speak another language. But you can't just say all black people are a tribe. Racism is simply an invention. Mr Biewen also said that the ancient Greeks didn't know the concept of race, they didn't say let's enslave those people because their skincolor is others than ours, they enslaved people for different reasons, because they thought they are more advanced in culture. Maybe by now, the concept of race is rooted in our minds but only because someone brought it up and now we've had this idea for such long time, that it became part of the modern humans view of life and society. But it wasn't there by the beginning.

Hispanic, in the context of America, can also be racial. There can be black and white Hispanics, for example. There are some whites who hate even white Hispanics, like in California. It's weird because Hispanics often have ancestry from Spain, which is in Europe, but the other whites view them as non-white... or like they are all recent immigrants to this country, not knowing that they pre-date whites from the East by centuries, many. Some have been there since California was part of Mexico or Spain.

@@StopBeingRacist south Asians don’t speak up on racism that they face because we are told to stfu.

I think the lesson is that things become volatile when confronting these issues. "There is simply no polite way to tell people they've dedicated their lives to an illusion." -Daniel Dennett People become dangerous, spiteful, and defensive.. but defensiveness is not an excuse when one's willful ignorance harms others. Allowing a person to live under those assumptions is a harm to society; it enables false dichotomies, and draws lines that only impair society. Frankly, I feel you must speak out as a rule, knowing that no approach is perfect, and no perfect approach is learned without practice. You never know when it will start a fight. You never know when your words empower someone under the oppression of racism, to know someone out there sees them as a person, deserving of no less a basic respect as one's peers. It's not an easy conflict to have; some times people become irrational and extreme in how they re-assert their pride and beliefs, because you're questioning the validity of everything they've ever known. Likewise, never correcting the matter is how they've come to know it.. and what allows them to justify teaching it to others. It's incredibly difficult to approach the topic in a way that doesn't escalate conflict. Escalation to some extent isn't necessarily a reason not to do it. If we only intervene when the risk is low, they can just raise the risk.. and often will.. So there's a real issue of accepting a risk of collateral damage when you take it upon yourself to intervene. The people getting whooped on in BLM protests around the world know all too well that things can escalate... but the world sees that people refuse to protect that harmful lie any longer.. people see that they matter to you, and the efforts of a stranger matter to all of us.

What? A Portuguese white guy in the 1500's is to blame for racism and slavery? At least Google the Arab slave trade.

Open up their hearts as well because listening to this talk requires both.

So if your brother sets fire to a house and you allow that house to burn to the ground, do you bear any responsibility? Do you simply say “I didn’t set fire to the house.”

l don't ask whites to apologize or expect them to, but I do expect them to accept the truth.

Tired, eh? Bless your little heart. "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!" (Fannie Lou Hamer)

I prefer Thomas Sowell, i just can't see that Afican's were so sophisticated. He mentions the word kidnap, i thought it was a slave trade. The Barbary slavers kidnapped people.

@@robertg9052 Look into Egyptian history. Africans were both wealthy and sophisticated.

@@robertg9052 Africans had civilizations in Africa thousands of years ago. Look up: Nubia, Kush, Carthagians. I haven't studied Thomas Sowell. I am into Nikole Hannah-Jones, Tenihesi Coates and Ibrahim X Kendhi. Some of the enslaved Africans were traded and sold by other tribes. Many were kidnapped also. Whatever the case, they were bought here against their will. They were bought here to build wealth for their slaveowners.

@@janicepinnock5084 Thank you. It reveals a lot about the racist American educational system that African people are so often seen as dumb. In truth, the Greeks and Romans borrowed a lot of their knowledge from the ancient Africans.

The one sided presentation of African slavery is astonishing. Many people were kidnapped by the Barbary Slavers. Malaria was a problem for Europeans and that 'trade' was conducted at the ports, so your theory of kidnapping by Europeans not Africans sounds misplaced and the slave ships wern't military vessels. I've heard of the Queen of Sheba and she must have been pretty impressive. When he mentioned Trump i wasn't impressed and i didn't agree with his argument of racism where he's concerned.

Came here for this comment

Every Portuguese person knows that 😆 Americans do not

Thank you!!!

@@nikkimyers5792 I would think of that as a sad fact, and indicative of institutional racism in the classroom.

Bit this zurrara narrative is not really true. This modern racism came out of the Anglo Saxon world in the context of the treatment of Anglo Saxons under norman rule and later of the Irish. England was at least 500 years an apartheid society. Racist thoughts like of zurara were not unique and existed in the past. In antiquity all non Greek or Roman Europeans were depicted as savages and only good for enslavement. European Barbars and European Slaves were seen by the Greeks as people of innate minor intelligence. And this superior/inferior dichotomy appeared in many contexts when one nation totally defeated another. These Greeks and Romans were the first who made noted racist quotes. Against the barbaric tribes of Europe. Is this a new twist to make others responsible for Anglo Saxon racism? Most anti African racist stereotypes were born in the United States itself and the kind of racism Africans experience elsewhere is largely rooted in American narratives. Such are imported elsewhere with Hollywood, sports and music.

It's the same crowd everytime. Typical narcicist in nature..appear educated and aloof to set themselves apart from the 'deplorables' with fake empathy all for point scoring 'likes' via virtue signalling and pretending to themselves and others they served a higher purpose..
