Weaponized Blackness: A New Problem 

“When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.” Thomas Sowell.

Still love that morgan freeman quote: "you want racism to go extinct? stop talking about it."

“When you’re always seeking to take offense, you’ll always be offended.”

i work at a bowling ally and had this lady ask why we don't have signs saying not to Rip up your arcade tickets me trying not to call her an idiot said "sorry we haven't got any signs because no one has done that before" to which her response was "is it because im black" so i said "i don't speak to racists good bye" The look on her face priceless

I work in the schools. One time I had to discipline a couple of 6th or 7th grade students, and one of them turned back to me and said, "You just did that because I'm black." I said, "No, but you just said THAT to me because I'm white." All the other students pointed at him and went, "Ohhhh!" He knew he was busted because his peers didn't back him up. I then said, "You are never again going to play the race card in this space. Do you understand me?" He said yes and I had no more problems from him.

My jaw literally dropped ….. this makes me so sad . To watch an elderly man hit the ground and be grabbed by his shirt like that… that breaks my heart. And then the person recording SAW THE WHOLE THING and proceeded to say he was attacking her!!!!! These people are brainwashed … completely brain washed . And I’m saddened by it

As a black man, thank you for this video. Those two individuals do not represent the black community.

There is no de-escalating propaganda induced sociopathy and psychopathy. If you choose to move away from a conflict, great, just never turn your back on the aggressor.

This woman incited violence and committed battery and abuse of the elderly. File the charges and lock her up. Apparently she needs the timeout chair

"Weaponized blackness." That's the best way I've ever heard this described.

Oh man, I felt so embarrassed and ashamed with that first one. As a black woman, if I were the owner or manager, I would have asked her to leave my establishment. Hands down, GONE. She's disrupting the peace, disrupting customers, harassing customers, and filming them without their permission. She wasn't just causing a scene, she was a whole sideshow 🤦🏾‍♀️. I felt SO bad watching this. . .

I am completely in awe of the way you carry yourself young lady. Your pure beauty comes forth while you speak so eloquently, without bias. Not to make this weird, but I'm 53 years old and I wish I could've met you when I was your age. You are mature beyond your years sweetie.

Weaponized Blackness no this is "Black Privilege" 🙄

Stuff like this actually inspires people to hate you when they otherwise would not have cared at all

My dad, who is full blooded Native American, had a girl walk up to him and scream “white man” in his face hoping to get a reaction and her friend was recording it. My dad was very confused because nobody would confuse him with a white guy. When I was growing up many people thought my dad was Mexican. It’s sad that kids are out there recording themselves provoking senior citizens in the hopes of getting clicks. Really sad.

My stomach has turned after watching those videos. Thank you for your wise words.

Amala, I am a mixed black woman who was born in the 1980s having grown up in a predominantly black area. I have experienced racism my entire life from black people; my own people. Rarely have I, encountered biases, or prejudice, from any other ethnic group. White people, with an exception of a few in my lifetime, have always been kind or gown out of their way to show kindness or lend a helping hand.

"Is I quiet enough" Classy, intelligent, and articulate. 🙃

The truth is that being loud IS a black female thing.....Far more than any other race or gender. It makes them feel special.

My package fell off my shelf. I turned around and said that it did that because I'm black. How dare that box do that to me.

I and 62 and a white country boy. I have taken care of an older black neighbor for many years every since her husband passed. She is now 86, me and my grown sons mow her yard and help her maintain her two acres. She will be the first to tell you how she fears the young blacks more then she ever feared the KKK in the 60s. It breaks my heart to see her own people put her in a position of fear. "All we fought for has went straight to hell" - Her words, and this christian woman never says a curse word. We need to stop !

Commenting on the white lady's REAL hair whilst sporting a weave is just pure gold. 🤣

It's sad the way the lady hit this elderly man she hit him first not him.

My girl! I am so proud of you. I just discovered your channel, and you give me hope that the younger generations can distinguish reality from rhetoric, and you do it so eloquently. I’m a fan! 👍🏻😍

My daughter and I were in a restaurant a few months ago and at a nearby table a young black teen was playing hip hop on his phone much too loudly while his mother just sat there. It was so disrupting, but no customer said anything. No manager came out and told them to quiet down. Nobody wants to end up going viral on RU-vid or TikTok being called a “Racist Karen.”

There are two types of people who wear sunglasses indoors, blind people and assholes. Something tells me that woman isn't blind...

I worked in a hotel and saw similar things happen on three occasions. First, the woman who was training me checked in this couple who, unfortunately, got a bad room. The husband was the only one who checked in at the desk. The wife was elsewhere. Their tv signal was not strong and their phone was broken. She called down and chewed out my co-worker and claimed she checked her into that room because she was black and called my co-worker a racist. That brought my co-worker to tears. Little did the lady in the room know, my co-worker is also a person of color. The husband was appalled by his wife’s behavior but it was too late. The second one occurred when another co-worker of mine got a complaint that someone was smoking weed so she began calling every room around the area of the complaint. One room claimed she was singled out for being black. The third happened when the bar’s Apple Pay system crashed. The guest claimed he didn’t want to take his money cause he was black and called the bar tender a racist. I’m more on the left side of politics. I just am. But I think it’s sad for my party to turn a blind eye to this phenomenon saying that this isn’t wrong. It is. The race card is played by some to get their way. It’s puts a stain on anyone who was actually a victim of racial prejudice. The only thing to stop hate is love. Hate get hate in return. An endless cycle. There is prejudice and racism still out there, but it’s not going to be taken seriously if people take advantage of a bad situation.

Peace love and understanding ,keep going Amala from an old white guy from the UK , LIVE AND BE KIND.

"They think they're fighting racism, fighting prejudice, instead they're creating more of it." - Amala Ekpunobi

Black privilege is alive and well in America.

I'm an old Gen x white dude, I just want to thank you for keeping it real great video

Being polite shouldn't be considered racism.

She was definitely being obnoxious and when she got called out she started to pull the race card😭

The old man was protecting his wife. The original altercation seems to have been between the two women, and he told his wife to leave and stayed behind as a buffer, in case the other woman decided to pursue. I find that noble.

I hope more people see & hear your reasoning. You are so correct. Love it.

Lack of if intellect causes much frustration and anger!

I'm 46 years old. I've been hearing "because I'm black" my entire life. Even as a kid in the 80s. This is not fixable, and it's only become worse since the woke movement. I feel bad for black folks who don't agree with this behavior, but the ones that do are too abundant and too violent. This will either get worse, or it'll end poorly.

Judge not by the color of your skin but by the content of your character!!! Her character speaks volumes! Literally! Sad!!

I was living in a 55+ community and we almost all got along, didn't matter what our race. We are just people, thats all.

There is a race of people called "stupid"! They don't know they are stupid because it's not possible to know that you are stupid when you are stupid. It comes in every flavor, political view and color of the skin! It's sad, but it's what you get when education fails. It is not only in the US, it happens in Europe too! Your kindness and intelligence shine through and a spark of hope that it's possible to stop the dumbing down

That elderly man is probably thinking "wtf happened to my country"

He assaulted her??? She assaulted him! He fell! OMG!!! This horrible. She should have been arrested. Crazy woman. I don’t care about her color. Crazy.

Thank you so much for sharing and spreading this message! We need more of it.

This young lady is going places! You just watch! LUV IT! I look forward to your presentations! Thank you

For the second clip, someone had to go out of their way to cut out the first part, knowing what that would set off. Knowing what actually happened, they saw it and went "ooh this can be twisted to fit my narrative" and then posted it. That's vile behavior. If these incidents were so common, why would they have to lie about this one?

Second lady should be arrested immediately, I hope Amala keeps track of this story

I think even her parents will act as if they don’t know her.

Thanks for your voice in this madness!❤❤❤❤❤

I'm a black woman and I am so embarrassed and disgusted. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

I love that you as a black woman is speaking out about this, I bet that if I, as a white woman, spoke out about this, people would say that I'm racist. Edit: I know that Amala is mixed, I know that she is half white, this might soud racist but I meant that its good that someone with her physical skin color is speaking out about stuff like this.

THANK YOU!!!! It's about time someone said this.

Thank you for making this video!! 💝💝🤟🤟

I played RISK with some friends, two brown guys and one black guy. Afterwards the black guy pulled the race card arguing that I attacked his troops because of my possible racial motivations. He was so triggered that I didn't let him win the game (which he would have) he wasn't sure if he could play again. We're both full grown adults and I've known him most of my life. I was, and am still, dumbfounded how he injected an issue between us, for no reason at all. Now I keep my distance. I used to assume he's a life long friend. Now whenever I think him a label pops up in my mind, 'the race card guy'.

Attacking an elderly person is the lowest of the low and shows a complete loss of societal value

Such grace on display! Way to represent

The moment she brought up their hair I would have wanted to holler, at least it's theirs!

And the black community wonders why people feel a certain way about them.....

I have black neighbors. One black family is always angry at everything. The other black family is sooooo nice. Both from the same generation but I'm sure they were raised differently

Thank you for posting this

Thank you Amala; you're so genuine and sincere 🌹

True racial equality means understanding that anyone is capable of acting like an asshole and should be held accountable. Thinking one is inferior or superior based on race, such as thinking you're immune to any and all criticism, would actually BE racism. (But that's why the far woke had to go and change the definition to require systems and prejudice plus power 🙃)

That poor man was attacked 3 times. He acted in response to the first attack. I actually thought he was gonna fall and hit his head. This could’ve ended very badly.

Right on keep up the good work!!!!

Thank you Amala❤❤

For an elderly person to fall is so dangerous. They say that if they fall and break their hip the chances of dying within the first year is very high!! It's so fucking disturbing that ANYONE would push and hit an elderly person EVER!

7:20 This makes me so mad, people screaming for equality and that they've been discriminated against but she is being racist herself and even assaulted him first.

Thanks for your candidness, honesty and goodness. Wow. The decay of society!

Morgan Freeman said” Why do we have Black History Month? How come we don’t have white history month or Caucasian history month or any other race he says we’re all Americans we shouldn’t even have any race History Month..

"You gon' hit me"?!?! After she hits him first. There's a certain level of entitled imperiousness that you can ONLY develop if someone has fed you a perpetual victim narrative from the day you were born, without setting any kind of adult boundaries for you in the process. She and her friend filming LITERALLY think she is entitled to assault someone but that his response in kind is the outrage. This is WILD.

My sister is exactly like the first woman, without being black. She’s loud and when someone asks her to quiet down, she gets louder and more obnoxious. It’s called narcissism. In this case it’s black narcissism.

Thank you for the great posts Amala

what angers me most is the friend who LIES and said he is the aggressor and he assaulted her.

"You're racist for not letting me be ratchet in public." WROOOONNNGGG.

Wow!!! All I can say is WOW!!! YOU are A FORCE to be reckoned with… you definitely present the whole picture!!! You speak clear and concise truth. You are articulate and I love listening to you… thank you ❤

Amala you’re half her age, so much more mature , intelligent & well rounded! She she look at you and be so embarrassed! I’m a big fan Amala! Appreciate the honesty & fairness of your content!

That doesn't look like victim behavior. I was in the USAF, security forces and responded to actual victims. She aint one of 'em.

Respect is earned, not demanded!

When I started my career as a teacher in a suburb of Ft. Worth, my school was predominantly white. After three years a low housing apartment was built near my school. The students who came from these apartments were black. Once I wanted a teacher-parent conference with a student’s parents. Not only did they show up, but, they listened and talked to their child, afterwards, they told me they appreciated my concern for their child. They were black parents. It was wonderful, that student was always respectful towards me. So, when parents support their child teachers, those kids will grow up being capable people.

This loudmouthed activity has been going on for 30 years. This is why I stay away from a lot of places.

The first specimen was the clearest example that money and fame cannot buy class.

Anyone who speaks in Ebonics will never be taken seriously and nor should they.

Thank you for pointing this out

That first lady is just embarrassing

OMG!!! That poor man, she better have gone to jail. Elderly abuse, assault, disorderly conduct. This is beyond out of hand 😣

That video of that woman slapping that older man was so hard to watch. That man was not raising his voice and had his hands in his pockets while trying to speak with her. Meanwhile that woman was screaming horrific things to him and hit him in the head, causing him to lose his balance and fall. He could have been seriously injured. I hope he presses charges on that woman.

very reasonable and well thought out. you are a credit to your upbringing and parents,❤

we love ya sista!!!

We were in Mexico a month ago and four black women were so loud in the restaurant most people left. The staff were terrified to tell them to turn down the volume.

The worst thing about the second video is that no one tried to step in and help defuse the situation. There were half a dozen people there filming and watching until after both parties hit each other.

Amala, you are amazing!!!

Thank you so much for this. I've always believed this particularly with blm, but I couldn't articulate it. Also, this is the exact reason why I watch the whole video before passing judgment-if I do at all-whenever a video like this comes up I say "where's the rest of it!"

"No, I don't think she knows who you is."

The immense, destructive, evil power of cutting out part of the video is on beautiful display here. Thanks for sharing the full clip.

You give me hope

Good job 👍🏼 for keeping it real

Stereotypes come about for a reason. They are 100% real.

I’m a 72 yo white woman. This scares me. I’ve been your follower for a while. Bless you for your common sense!

Well done, and well said.

You Go, Girl!

I remember many years ago my date and were at a movie theatre and we were talking loudly before the movie started and a guy asked us to keep it down. Guess what we did? We apologized and lowered our voices. Not gard to respect others
