Why are Men Moving to the Philippines/Race Relations in America/White Man's Burden@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 I have a candid conversation about reverse racism in America with a man who has lived and experienced it firsthand
This is a good video, but it is a smoke screen. Two failed sexpats discussing racism in America. There is a huge amount of racism in Asia and the Philippines.
This is the dumbest video I’ve ever seen. what’s the purpose if 2 old white men who couldn’t be happy in their own country try to be experts on race. Wtf u don’t fckin live here fckin dumbsses
Stupid video what’s its purpose? I don’t get it. I live in the US I guess I can intelligently discuss race relations in a China according to you 2 dopes.
History and the true of story of black History is just being told. This guy isn't a person of Knowledge to speak on blacks and whites in America. I too have been married too black female a white female and now a filipinoh doesn't make me an expert and i'm black. He is giving a opinion and guess what I too worked in corrections for 27 years state of Washington different perspective and ask any Native American what he thinks. About the American that's a person you should interview Paul.
Each race is its own tribe. I don’t know why many people don’t understand that fact. It’s natural to want to be around, date, marry and breed with one’s own kind with people that look like us and have similar heritage as well as culture. That guest clearly wasn’t wanted in that black family. It’s a good thing he got divorced and out of it. People should talk about the benefits and less stress when staying with one’s own kind. Most crimes, especially murders, are statistically caused by black people. Not an opinion but a fact. Lots of racial tension is caused by the bogus liberal narrative between the fake news outlets and liberal politicians. They make lots of money doing it by dividing the people. It’s a sad thing but it’s where the US is currently as a society. Hopefully, things will get better.
Scary times in the USA. Much of this polarization I believe is from varied special interests in government and NGOs. Keep everyone distracted and hating each other so no one will pay attention to what the government is doing, wars etc.
Yep not so much government but the 1 percent and corporate powers, one could say they pretty much control government with all the special interest money being fed to politicians. Ever wonder why we are one of the richest countries but never have had universal healthcare as the rest of the free world has.
Don’t forget the mainstream and social media (including Hollywood) that have taken a partisan side on which political party will garner more votes and higher ratings from wanton liberalism.
I always think that if all folks simply obeyed the “golden rule” the world will be a better place. Starting with me! We should all strive for community & behave with selflessness. In the old days, we called it “civic mindedness”, “manners” & “showing respect”. Seems like people have forgotten these important lessons.
Yeah but the world is more complicated than your kumbaya platitude. this guy lives so far from reality that he has to make an issue out of something that is no issue to areas with a diverse expat community.
You are correct.. the cause of problems in America is complicated & so multi layered. From economic disparities, racial disharmony, inequality in creed, sex etc. Though I always think, it starts with us practicing tolerance and to always reflect on how I treat others that are different to me. Do you feel he is spreading discord amongst the expat community with these comments? Maybe it’s a topic that you should be willing to talk respectfully to each other in these communities.
@along7114 the old days are just that the old days and should stay there people grow and things progress unless you’re stuck in a time warp somewhere where old subjects resurface as new due to lack of exposure to the realities of life. The one dimensional expat enclave that exists in Duma/Valencia are stuck without new fresh relevant subjects for coffee shop discussion. They’ve done it they’ve moved away from blacks yet are still stuck in the old discussion as if it’s a current problem they deal with. If Duma was enticing to an attractive educated man under 60 I d go there and give them something to really talk about.fkin old pervs dating women 40 yrs younger than them.I have many expat friends in Cebu who would agree that this divisive subject has no place for expats in the Philippines and this cancer should be cut out before it spreads. Paul go back to telling your dumb desperate subscribers that they can move to the Philippines on $1000 per month before you get them believing that black/white racism is a widespread conversation in the Philippines. Leave that sht in the States.MAPA make the Philippines great again. kick out the over 60 expats taking advantage of 2o yr. old poor “women desperate for a better life. being pursued by grandpas a 20 yr. old in their own country would see for what they are creepyo ld men” fkin creeps!
I agree. Other things seemed to have been tossed to the wayside, like honesty, honor, ability to parse reality from rhetoric, and just caring - about what is right, about our environment, and about each other.
You are wonderful Paul for allowing this to be a topic on your channel. I'm 49 black, male, and currently living in the Philippines partly behind racism and unavoidable ni××erism. Both of which are equally as toxic to my well-being. I have had many white-collar friends of the white race that have been helpful to my successes in life.
After 20 yrs of being a non-union white bench tech, the company I worked for went out of business. I went and got my CDL and drove a truck for a few years. One of my white friends happen to mention there was an opening at the company he worked for but it was an entry level position in a union shop and my lead and supervisor would be black. Anyway at 57 yrs old I applied for and was hired on to the first job I really liked. Within 2 yrs I have had life changing pay increases, my bosses are great and I can't thank them enough!
What a great topic Paul. This is hugh and gutsy of you. Well done. Your guest articulated this in a way we all have in mind for years now but couldn’t put our words into it. Great video looking forward to a part 2 and more.
I think Paul has touched something important with his video segment on the deteriorating race-relations, as well as other things wrong with America that we Americans are afraid to talk about in our own society for fear of backlashes, but can do so freely in countries like the Philippines. Perhaps the solutions to America's problems will not come from the American people living in America, but from Americans living in other countries. Great video interview!
This is not a conversation that I don’t think can take place rationally in private let alone public where I currently live Shelby,NC. After living in Thailand for 5 years I can’t leave America fast enough. Within a year Davao will be my home and I will leave this nonsense behind me hopefully.
@@letsif ‘systemic’ hatred? We are all free to have our own likes/ dislikes; even our own opinions. Live your life and don’t worry about whether people like or dislike you. Do you think it’s even possible to force people to like you? That’s a fool’s errand.
@@letsif So what is the system of hatred? Did your propaganda tabloid master talking heads brainwash you to puke out daddy's word? What's the system of hatred instituted? We'll wait....
This topic is one of the major reasons why I'm leaving my beloved America... Unfortunately it appears to have gotten worse, it's really sad... enough said... Peace David D
Another person who doesn't understand there is hatred and racism in ALL countries. However as an expat it will take years to understand what the racism looks like in your new country because you will exist in the expat bubble.
I will never, ever leave America in my heart...best country on the planet...we have problems, but nothing compared to the rest of the world. We go through cycles of interna conflict and always come out better.
I grew up in Hawaii with many, mostly Pacific nations people. Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Hawaiian and many others to a lesser degree and of course Haole or known as Caucasian. I went from a child to retirement age on Maui. There is no doubt that racism is in both directions. Because of the comedic element of being local in Hawaii and the various comedians of different race, people often spoke about other races, but mostly in a fun way, recognizing the differences and even celebrating those differences. I have now lived in the east coast in Virginia and had never been around many black people, but here I am a minority compared to black people. There is a very high awareness and walking in egg shells about saying it doing anything racist. That being said, I notice so many black people talking and acting racist, yet they may not even think they are or that they are being mean. It's just that it is much more accepted to have them act this way, than it would be for a while person to. I also have a granddaughter that is so smart and I love her to the moon and back, but now at the age of seven and being raised in a white family, her dad spends plenty of time with her and is a great father, but she is beginning to see more of the differences than she has as a younger child. I don't know where I'm going with this, but it is different here. In Hawaii, most races at the core of their race, have really what is viewed as racist attitudes, but not necessarily to be mean. They embrace their own cultures. Hawaii Filipino people that have been there many years are not as friendly as the Filipino people portrayed that live in the Philippines.
because white man stole their country . they have a long memory of white invade their islands put a guns too king and queen family too sign their land too usa.
Excellent video guys. I enjoyed & appreciated it. I was born in 1952 from a WWII veteran father (prior to the desegregation of the armed forces) and a rurally raised mother. In my experience trying to grow up in today's world I had to shed all of the racial ignorance & propaganda from my bigoted father. I guess my point is to address your guests perspective that maybe 10% max. of Americans are now racist. Perhaps that is true in some areas of the U.S., but in my Peoples Socialist Republic of Minnesota which is horribly left-wing radical, there are plenty of folks that are marginally racist. They would socialize with other races, work with them and even perhaps have a few friends that are racially diverse. However, if you ask them if they would be OK with their daughter marrying or even dating a black man, they would not approve at all. Some even harbor negative feelings about their daughters being involved with Hispanic, Asian and especially Muslim men. Identifying someone as racist is one thing, but seeing if they are cool with a black son-in-law and/or black grandchildren will perhaps surprise you even in a strong bastion of liberalism here in MN.
I remember working at a gas station on I-75 in middle Georgia back in the late 60s and early 70s, pumping gas and washing windshields for folks from places like Minnesota since I75 is the main route from the midwest to Florida. One afternoon in the dog days of summer an elderly man from someplace like lilly white Minnesota had the temerity to ask "15 year old white Southern male" i.e. me, "why do "you people" down here treat the "colored people" so badly?" I was shocked, and speechless. He was very lucky that I was raised to treat my elders with respect. If I didn't I'd have had a keen switch administered to my arse by my daddy until it wouldn't hold corn shucks. Frankly, I think the reason the old man asked me that was because he knew he could get away with it. No way he would have confronted my 25 year old cuz who also worked there because he would have been the one that toted the arse whipping. Looking back on it, I doubt very seriously if this old man would have approved of his daughter or granddaughter even dating a black dude.
Doesn't matter whether you're black, white, Jewish, asian,latino, or mixed! We all desperately need the grace,mercy, and love of God. He only has one family, which race isn't a issue. We know when we've passed from death to life, when we love one another.
sure, that’s what Jesus teach us, in his two commandments Matthew 22:37-39 but the grace of god is already been given to all of us through Jesus Christ by his death and resurrection, Romans 5:15-17 we just have to follow seriously what Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew
Amen!!! God is good and he is merciful not willing that any should perish but that we come to the knowledge of his son the Lord Jesus who givea eternal life to those who receive him.
This was an interesting and thought-provoking video. Often times it is difficult for us as individuals to see just how much our views and beliefs have been shaped by the people and the institutions around us. Racism and hate cannot survive in a vacuum...it needs a supporting structure. Institutionalized racism that is allowed to remain in our courts, our government, and our religious organizations needs to be seen for what it is and rooted out. If we are all willing to level the playing field, then hopefully in a decade or two we won’t need to have this type of discussion. We can turn our attention to sandy beaches and lovely Filipinas.
INSTITUTIONAL RACISM.... what a lousy phrase invented by the democrats, which to me is actually crap being thrown back on their faces. What is an INSTITUTION..... we are all members of all these institutions one way or another which are the government in all levels, its agencies and all private groups such as businesses, societies and practically all form of communities down to the family level. So democrats are saying we are all racists without exception since we are all members of these communities. but to a certain level, i believe that, even blacks can be the most racist people. that is why on the issue of CRT i am not actually opposed to teaching it in schools. but they have to tell the whole story, the democrats should admit that during the slavery days, they did not allow their slaves to be educated. they are beaten to pulp when discovered learning how to read and write. they were told they have no capacity to learn and that sank into their culture up to these days. Many many blacks are still unsuccessful getting out of that bondage.
When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, tolerance was taught in schools and universities. Right now intolerance is taught in schools and universities.
I agree with you to a point . But, the problem of the matter is that, America was build without truely trusting in God. American whites have truely lost their moral compass.
You can talk about race, politics, and religion from the neutral grounds of the Philippines without any fear of repercussion from America’s politics and the media.
In the 70"s I attended high school in Utah. At that school, of approximately 2000 students, there were two black females and one black male. He tried out for football and made the team. More often than not, others stated that he made the team because of his color. He became a high school star. He was a star at Utah State and then played with the Denver Broncos for three years. His name is Rick Paris.
Other notables from Granite High School in Salt Lake City were John Golden Richards ( Immaculate Reception), who went on to play for BYU and the University of Hawaii, then the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears. And Couch LaVell Edwards coached for eight years at Granite from 1954 to 1962. His teams never had a winning record. In 1962 he was hired by BYU; Edwards went on to lead BYU to a national championship in 1984.
I have been with my Philippina for over 8 years and been around houndeders of Philippinos and not one time have anyone ever made me feel like an outcast or unwelcome .
Fascinating conversation. I wish everyone here in America can talk on this topic with same amount of maturity and calm. Both you guys are A list TV personalities in my book.
The media only showing black people being murdered by police is by design. If the American public was aware of how many other groups were killed by the police, there would public outrage, and police reform would have happened years ago. Instead, we have a steady diet of police brutality on black people, which has the psychological effect of installing fear of police in the black community, while reinforcing stereotypes that only black people commit crimes, therefore there is no need for police reform when only black people are the criminals.
Paul as a man both married to a black woman and now a Philippine women I see a huge differences. Now my black wife I met in Kenya. She came to Phoenix and we have two children together. Younger guys were so impressed with your marriage older people were not. Blacks from Africa do not act or behave anything like American blacks and they do not even seem to get along. My Philippine wife is much more caring but they are very similar in so many ways and money, family and lifestyle and yes they both like to continue to associate only with people from there own country. My Philippine wife is a much more happy person and she is committed to our relationship.
I spent 13 months in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia. You are spot-on about black Africans being completely different from "African-Americans." It is NOT race ! It is the CULTURE !
I noticed that myself about white people. The white women in Germany, France, Russia etc behave nothing like American white women. (sarcasm). The reason why Africans and American blacks behave differently is because they are from different countries , continents, and cultures.
@@user-mt6kt1yn6q In the 90s I worked for an IT company where I had to travel and had to hire about 30 temps for each job site. One thing that was glaringly clear was that the African Nationals I would hire had a willingness to learn, genuine kindness, and a strong work ethic. I made many lifelong friends during those years. The mindset however of most of the African Americans was more of about when breaks were, if they can come late or leave early. This is a generalization, not all were like this but certainly a noticeable majority. So, no its not about the color of the individual at all.
The African will have a totally different experience growing up compared with the African American. Of course they are not the same, no more than a Russian is typical in thought belief and experiences of a White American with Russian ancestry. I agree that it is culturally based, but recognize that culture is not created in a vacuum. It's complicated..
i had a gf from eritrea and she used to always say africans and african-americans are not the same race; she moved to long beach as a teenager and was always picked on by black americans at high school as were her siblings
I just finished watching the whole video yes i will take you up on your offer to come on your show not to be a rebuttal but more of an insight into the topic why because I'm Black. MAD LOVE
I’ve come to the conclusion that what we call racism is not a moral failing, but an ugly part of our nature that has always been with us. Like impatience, pride, gluttony, etc. it is something we have to fight (within ourselves) to overcome. Race is just a tribal identifier, but it could be your faith, your political beliefs, or the fact that you are the people over the hill. I think the news media in the U.S. knows they can get peoples attention by poking this issue with a stick, and it does not help the problem. My local news in San Francisco uses racism stories as filler on slow days. Strangely, the same media almost only reports black crime. It is almost as if they encourage and foster fear of black men. They do it for profit.
I agree with you. The issues we face as people in this life have to do with our fallen nature. The book of Romans written by another Paul 😊 discusses this and the remedy if people receive the gift.
New to this channel. I'm married to a Filipina which is the only reason why I started watching Paul's videos. I find them interesting and informative. I started watching the video with Gerard and thought that I should go back to the first video. I thought this was a really good, honest conversation with someone who has a lot of life experience about this topic. I'm not American but bravo to you fellas for tackling such a sensitive topic.
"When skin pigmentation causes indignation that's self-incrimination, one's value must be self-contain all who embrace such hate will cause their own pain, when nothing is gained."
No one hates unless you allow hate to flourish for selfish gain. What is happening in America today is not about hate that happened two centuries ago (all those people are dead now). Instead, it about using race and ethnicity as a political weapon for one's quest for money and power---just like what happened to the weaponization of the pandemic, border control, sexual identity, and other once-neutral issues that have been transformed into controversial agendas for political gain. And the media (including Hollywood), and the propaganda they ran, are the main instigators of those so-called "Hate."
@@CornellSandifer Well, I didn't write this quote but it makes a lot of sense: "Whoever Controls the Media, Controls the Mind."--- Jim Morrison (The Doors). And the media has been controlling most of the American's minds for a while now---including black people's mind to rise up for a cause (Racism) that is inconsequential and non-productive to our lives as Americans---that only keeps us divided instead of "united."
@@CornellSandifer they dont get it, because. They have no eyes to see their errant ways... Hopefully, the Filipinos and the republic of..will see their errant ways and ask some of them to depart their land
As a black man living in usa your guest had good accurate points and some personal opinions. I love how you interjected points to look at it from both sides. You did it several times and i thank you Paul. Hard to say if it will take 60 or 100 yrs before actual change occur. I agree some blacks are sensitive and live improvised lives and have a crab mentality, sad to say. Also there are blinded underlined white privilege in America that exist as well. My belief is when the majority is challenged and fail to show equality then unfortunately policies are created to keep the underprivileged bound. You would be terribly ostracized from all sides to have such conversation in current usa. Thanks you ripping off the bandage from a hemmorhaging America crisis
Blacks do not want equality, they want power. The USA has Black Mayors, Black Police Chiefs, Black State and Federal Senators, Congressman, Black Governors, Black Generals, Black Actors, Black Artists, the lists goes on. Yet more blacks are killed by blacks. More police officers are killed by blacks. Nothing will change until the black culture changes.
Paul this is a very good subject to talk about. Most are afraid to deal with subject. But i must inform both of you that white is not a color but a class. Billionaire and above.
Too bad you have a video about race. That's all the media in the States seems to focus on. I have been here for fifteen years and race is not a problem . Don't bring up and carry on about racism. Keep to Philippine and Asian issues as you have always done.
I often wonder about the motivation behind racism. As a black man, I’ve been on the receiving end of acts of hate and discrimination solely because of my color. Conversely, I have been helped me throughout my life by white people who have taken an interest in seeing that I do well. As a matter of fact, I’ve been helped more by whites than African Americans. I live in America and have been married to a Filipina for over 30 years. I like visiting the Philippines but don’t want to live there. Have you done any vetting of your guest? I wish he were a bit more specific with examples. I agree that many people of color continue to use slavery and racism as a reason not to depend upon themselves to succeed in the U.S. We continue to our own worst enemy. However, I believe your guest mistakes resentment for racism. Enough rambling (by me). Good topic, needs more discussion by open minded people.
I spent time in China a couple years ago. I'm an American also. China is definitely not a diverse community yet racism is alive and well. Dark skinned Chinese are said to be poor farmers, uneducated and feeble. I believe racism is in our genes.😞
My question to you is when a black person expresses his or her resentment towards white people for what they’ve done, everyone accepts it at face value. But when a white person expresses their resentment towards black people for what they’ve done, it’s considered racist. Would you expand on those comparisons?
Great points. Balanced presentation. I am an immigrant to the US and have experienced racism and very hurtful behaviour because I happen to be a white woman. I been told minorities cannot be racist. That's a cop out.
Congratulations to both men for having courage to see past racial lines and especially your guest honestly help us with his hard earned valuable experiences.
They didn't see too far. It's amazing how the race they are talking about can watch this and hear something completely different. This video didn't help racism in any shape, form or fashion.... at all in any way possible.
@@ANinjaforReal People have been enslaving each other since rocks were young. Race is not the reason for abuse, which is opportunistic. You had ancestors, like me, who mistreated others. Trying to get even by arbitrarily abusing whoever you can will not improve things. It only creates an explosion of injustice.
@@ANinjaforReal sorry but I beg to differ, it got us talking an accepting the fact that we are now farther apart then we've been in 15 years. It was declining up until 2008 and since then it's gotten worse every year.
Well intentioned, balanced, and informative. This is the type of discussions that need to be taking place. It was a pleasure to watch. The follow up video with Gerard was painful to watch. I almost turned it off several times. But I soldiered through hoping there was a silver lining, or at least some concession on the part of the guest. There were not. All his “counter arguments” and I use the term loosely, did nothing but support the ascertain that the majority of the burden of continuing racism lies at the feet of blacks. I already knew this to be the case. This video just reinforced what I already knew to be true. I don’t pretend to know the answer. Hell there may not be one. But, I sincerely think for there to be any significant gains it will need to come from the black community.
I am white. I am glad he clarified the proportions of whites vs black in population etc in the statistics. Things are still s bit twisted due to the “war on drugs”. At the airport in Chicago heading your way😊
But I also think it's absolutely ridiculous 🤣 to ask a white man. Where he think is more racism. I was married to a white woman for more than 20 years. An encounter tons of racism in her family and friends 😞 most of the time it's just more scuttle I come from the Bay area and Los Angeles area in my younger days I've had issues with police. Even though both my parents were in my life married for 50 years 🕊️🕊️💞 I'm now married to a Filipina. For 13 years with three beautiful 🥰🥰 we own a condom. In Lapu-Lapu Cebu Filipino people or some of the kindness swedish people in the world 🌍. But even here I have encountered racism. Very little but I do get look at different. Because a lot of Filipinos only know what they say about black people from TV and other. And what they hear from white people. 👀👀 I don't want to keep going on I salute you for the program 🍻🍻 I pray one day things will be different 🕊️🕊️🙏
Paul, I enjoy your channel. I like how you are labelling your time in the Philippines as discovering your true self. For this topic though, I do not see much value in debating who is more racists than the other. Would it not be more important to just explore the topic of racism - what contributes to it, how it can be reduced and the benefit of living in a society that does not see race as a negative. In any case, I take your intent as probing the topic with the idea that racism on any level is wrong. That is something I strongly support. Enjoy your time in the Philippines!
@@ANinjaforReal Well we can't speak for everyone, maybe it did help some viewers to understand, such as the topic of racial profiling of black men vs whites, but I don't think this topic was something that I wanted to hear coming from a white man who already has privilege, seems a little bit slanted in my opinion, like 400 years of slavery and continued bias up until till 2023 (a black man found decapitated in Mississippi last month, told his mom he was being harassed by white men on his new job ), like you really think black folks don't have a reason to not want to deal with whites folks, c'mon SMDH.
Having come from a very similar background. Except I served in the military for 21 years. I overall agree with his assessments. I too love black people in general and choose to worship at a predominantly black church.
@@damonmelendez856 If walking up to someone's front door is trespassing, why are there doorbells? God have mercy on solicitors and delivery people who ring your doorbell. But in all seriousness, if you are asked to leave someone's property and refuse then that is a different story. But heaven forbid you have a conversation rather than immediately opening fire.
@@joshuab8255 we don’t yet know all the facts surrounding this. Clearly, there have been many false incidents in the past- like the Jussie Smollet hoax. And Trayvon martin. Black teens are a very dangerous demographic, clearly shown by fbi crime stats. So why do you automatically assume he’s innocent?
Excellent talk can't wait to hear a black man's opinion on an upcoming video to see if there's any common points of view. Fully agree with the end that globalism is on the way out.
Video turned out better than I expected after just seeing the topic. Based on the last census, the population in USA consists of approximately 12.2% Black, 18.5% Hispanic, 60.1% White, 5.6% Asian, 2.8% Multiple Race, 0.7%, 0.2% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Currently, the emphasis in USA is to have black actors in every commercial, have black actors in every move or TV show, and to have a black emphasis in every social event. Now who is over represented???????? Black Coaches Association, Black Congressional Caucus, Black Entertainment Television: If any of those started with the word "White" there would be violent demonstrations in the streets claiming racism!! When I worked in law enforcement and responded to domestic violence calls the households I responded to were overwhelmingly black. I worked as a military policeman for many years. In 1976, over 80% of all violent crime at Fort Hood was committed by black soldiers. The majority of Blacks that I have known are racist. The majority of whites, Asians, and Hispanics I have know are not racist. If someone I encounter, whether socially or through business gives off racist vibes, I avoid any association with that person. California is considering awarding $1.2 million to some blacks for reparations?? How many of those were living during the time of slavery?????? When I worked traffic as a law enforcement officer, I was observing the vehicle actions not the color of the person driving. I usually couldn't tell what race the driver was until I got up to the vehicle. Racism is wrong. Discrimination is wrong. You should never be hired or promoted because of the pigment of your skin. It has been my experience that anytime a black isn't hired or promoted they pull the "race card". Some stores and restaurants are closing in areas of Chicago, Oregon, and California because of unchecked black violence and looting. When is "White History Month"? Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. I am leaving the USA soon to escape the liberal nonsense.
Why would there be a white history month. European history is taught everyday of the year in school. White is the default. Labeling “black” with all this nonsense says a lot. We do need reparations. There was a economic result from slavery and it was never paid. Pay us and we can talk about being cool. Pay your bill Caucasian people. You owe us a check
@@Anotherwanyekerr Yes, even though the Hispanic population percentage in the USA is much higher than the black population, the focus is only on making commercials and TV shows and movies with blacks, not Hispanics or Asian. I have been acquainted with persons of all races over the years. I have observed racism by the majority of blacks. I have never witnessed racism by Asians or Hispanics. I have know some whites that were racist but that has decreased over the years. I'll finally be out of the USA in a week. I'm just fed up with the unchecked violence of blacks and the ridiculous pandering to 12% of the population.
Paul, your follow-up question to "how many white guys out of 100 would use the N-word if a black guy walked into a room with them should have been: How many white guys would come to the defense of the black guy called the N-word?
No one ever came to my defense in that situation (and it's happened a lot). Imagine the outcome if they had.. the ripple effect of seeing and hearing good things being done.
Very inappropriate conversation. Why even bring the subject up? It will only get people riled up. Your guest is not at all likeable imo. Perhaps. This controversial lane doesn't really suit your channel Paul, unless your purposely fishing for comments to boost your channel. Leave these guys alone.
The argument here is how you define racism. Many black people think they can't be racist because they are the minority. While most people believe racism is treating someone poorly or thinking poorly of someone because of their race.
I am a Filipino and I can tell you guys that racism is not a thing in the Philippines. In fact, I think most of us Filipinos only became aware of what racism is when the internet became available. Color of skin doesn't matter to us. As long as you show respect to us, to your local Filipino community, you will be respected as well. If you see some of us stares at you, don't worry, it's just a curious Filipino stare. Because we don't get to see a lot of Black or White people that's why we're kind of amaze seeing you guys in person. Thank you Paul for another great interview. God bless you 🙏
Racism is all throughout the Philippines. Women are judged by how dark the skin is. The whiter you are the more favorable you become. As a foreigner we also get skin taxed based on us just being a foreigner. That’s absolutely racist.
@@izzyandcris8429 I disagree. We don't judge women by their skin color or or give them special treatment because they have lighter complexion. But it is true that most women in the Philippines wants to have whiter skin because of colonial mentality. The Philippines was a colony of Spain for more than 300 years and during that time Filipinos are treated second class citizen for having darker or brown skin. Since then, most of Filipinos especially in women have this thought that whiter skin is beautiful. But again, Filipinos wanting to have whiter skin complexion is not the same with being a racist. And again, having a whiter skin will not guarantee you to land for job your targeting to. What I can say is that, Filipino employers will favor those women who have college or bachelor's degree than those who don't have. So therefore, we more value education than the color of the skin. ( Sorry if my grammar is wrong)
@@izzyandcris8429 about the skin tax, I only heard of that now. You will pay of tax because of your skin color? Oh my God that's ridiculous. If all Filipinos knows about this skin tax, whoever created that law, he/she will be bash by most of Filipino. That's not fair.
@@mcluvin65 Hi Dennis. That's true most of Filipino women don't want to be exposed in the sun because they don't want to get a darker skin. As what I replied to Izzy and Cris, most of Filipinos especially women, then want to have white skin as the effect of Colonial mentality brought to us by Spanish. But again, wanting to have a whiter skin is not racist. Or maybe my knowledge about racism is shallow. If that is the case, pardon me. I didn't know that wanting to have a lighter or whiter skin can still considered as racist. But anyway, I can assure you that no matter what is your skin color, you can always befriend with Filipinos. In fact, we are always excited to have a Foreigner friends because we get to practice our english communication skills lol. 😄
Interesting topic. Hopefully you can interview someone of color who to speak on this topic as well. I spoke to a black gentleman in his 40s in Dumaguete who was coming out of Whynot and he spoke to me and we got into a conversation and he said that he left America and moved to the UK to work and live because of racism and I asked him if it was because of racism from whites and he said that he was tired of it period from both sides and just didn’t want to live his life with racism and hate so he works in the UK and visits the Philippines every 6 months and stays here for a month.
US has black mayors, black governors, black police chiefs, black generals, black state and federal senators, black movie stars and artists, but USA is racist. Scott Adams was right.
Hi Paul, First, I hope this message finds you well. WOW!! This is one of the hardest, sensitive, and controversial topics to talk about on TV, internet and RU-vid and yet you’ve managed to handle it well. Living and working in the eastern part of the U.S., I’ve seen “it” all. Racism has always been the frontline among neighbors, friends, in schools, in the communities, and even in corporate America. It exists everywhere (U.S.) and I find that totally absurd, sick and inhuman. Well, I guess I’m sort of a lucky guy because racism does not get into me. I think being a professional and well cultured individual helps me get through any racial remarks. Furthermore, my parents raised me to be a good person, to be a good Christian, and not to judge people regardless of their “background and status.” Just so you know, I like everybody and I don’t look at the color of their skin. In fact, I have lot of white and black friends, white and black co-workers and Hispanic neighbors. I live in the suburb and my neighbors are whites, blacks, Europeans, Hispanics, Arabs, and Asians. If I get out of my house and I see them, I smile and talk to them or simply say “hi” just to break the silence, the stare, and the shyness. Have a good day, sir! 👍👍🙌🙌
Long time watcher, second time commenter. Economist joined with a Ph.D. in statistics living in the USA. I have enjoyed my trips to the PH. I have enjoyed your videos. There were some good moments in the video, but a lot of pure cringe. By your own stats a black man is 5 times more likely to be killed by police based on population not 3 times as suggested by your guest. When he said globalism is dying was the end for me. Much respect, maybe coffee in Feb 2024...? So much more I would say but out of respect not in a public forum Paul.
I must be crazy, even without this experience I see this happening everywhere. I'm English and have always known this. I often went to night clubs (dancing) in black areas and felt this always. Ealing, Streatham, Brixton being my main experiences and there are a lot more. I was born in the east end of London, cannot live there again because the area has been taken over by the "minorities". Thank goodness I now live in the Philippines (although very racist) but mainly against their own kind.
I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion . Please allow me to buy you two, and of course Baby May, dinner on me. These topics should be discussed so people can clarify what they truly believe in their own minds, and why. I hope one day we can sit down and enjoy a lively discussion over a couple of drinks. Take care and stay healthy.
Excellent video, clean, straight and crisp. As a 62 year old African American I applaud your honesty and the experiences you went through. One thing that makes a Big difference in general are Black folks raised in the City vs Suburbs and Country. As one who was raised in the Burbs I frequently get flack, tension, disfavor even among my own people and if you get into skin tone issue its a alot of fiction. I like your vid cause of the calm nature and not hysterical emotions that could be. Many African American Men or Women I believe want to leave the craziness, pressure, wildness of Americans and probably Canada's race/ethnic craziness and only those who keep the division & craziness going is making a lot of money. The research into BLM is true and it was a Huge success for the wrong reasons and generally the Black Community received nothing or very little from it: But the Trans & Alphabet community received Millions. Any way one Great thing when descent Black men & Women leave or explore out of the American/west Matrix is that that burden is lifted off and we can just be Americans/Canadians/Foreigners in another land. consequently to clarify something. Passport Bros. 1. Its just Western men (Outside the common Military Diaspora traveling to or moving to another country. 2. The reason its called "Passport Bros" is that since Black Men are known to call each other Bro, This term somehow was attached to this select group of traveling men: at the very foundation its just about western men traveling/visiting or becoming an expat. Why now? Well outside of mainly military majority Black men didn't have the resources/maybe desire/opportunity/Negative images of Black Men on media distributed on Movies & TV around the world and the Fear it caused against us (Just ask your Foreigner wife if old enough to recount the images of Black Men on American movies/TV and you'll get the gist of it)/ etc etc. Now since the advent of remote work, more open & Better opportunities, improved finances, better imagery etc more Non military Eligible Black Men are now following more in the footsteps of their Caucasian counter part. Hence the so-called Passport Bros phenomenon. Sorry so long. Kudos to you two for handling a difficult topic.:)
So you heard nothing wrong with anything Paul and notepad guy said? When you and two other black people stand together do you start saying negative things about white people?
Thanks for sharing this important topic. I too (white male in the USA) was married to a black American woman for 8 years. So much of what was said here has also been my experience. Ditto about the prejudice I experienced within the AA community. Surprisingly I had thought going into it I was going to get more flack from my fellow whites, but it turns out I got the comments from her side of the family and friends. I personally feel that the woke culture of today has divided us even more bc everyone is hyperaware of their "tribe" and is obsessed with being one of the tribe and not with our common identity as Americans. Fanning tribal flames is not how you create a strong nation. It's how you splinter one. My advice to anyone is what my father told me going into it - marriage is already hard enough, but it adds additional hardship when you are from a different culture. It can be done, but it's not an easy road.
Great topic. All I can say is I hope you do not get demonatized or cancelled due to this topic! I grew up being able to talk to people on lots of topics and if we did not agree that was okay. That all seems to have changed in America today. I am hopeful it will change back to the MLK concept of being judged by our character versus our skin color but that is not the deal now. :(
I used to live in Hawaii and I couldn’t agree more. Over there we could poke fun at different races and cultures but it never felt mean-spirited. (Shout out to Frank De Lima!) We embraced each other’s differences and learned from one another. Now I live on the mainland and feel that I have to be so careful not to inadvertently offend someone. It seems so ridiculous to me.
I'm an American indian mix but can't prove my heritage yet I think people are people to be loved we all bring something to the table I have no problem with color & I'm in America no issues here with my life it's a government issue divisions are great for conquer
In 1991 a famous, intelligent, educated American said: "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved." Jesse Jackson He was ignored. Nothing has changed.
Do you know the context behind the comment? Could it have been a a meeting addressing gun violence in the streets of Chicago? It's important to give context so as not to mislead people. After the Iran Contra Scandal created a drug epidemic on the Streets of major cities fighting over territory went from fist to guns. It went from Revolvers to Semi-Automatics. The speech Jackson gave was in reference to how life had become to the people caught I the middle of the fight over drug revenue. The same thing is happening across America as we speak. If you live in South Boston living in poor communities you are worried about anyone walking upon you at night. Ask Mark Walberg what his live was like before he became famous and he will tell you he was a gang member who loved inflicting pain on people who looked different than him.
Regarding the "comments made about black people not standing up for a white person invited to an all black gathering": I would be very surprised if that actually happened. I am black and if I invited a white person into my home, I would do my best to make him/her feel welcomed specially if I were the spouse . I would not allow such behavior to surface without correcting it immediately. Black people are some of the most welcoming people to meet. Simply stated, if this happened, it was wrong for no one to speak up against such behavior.
@Ivory Taylor Exactly! I was saying the exact same thing to myself, plus a couple other things. This is why I thought both sides should have been represented together. People are coming to a conclusion from a person said experience. Lord have mercy! Of course there are troubled people all around, but the great majority of people I've known thru the decades are not the way described... We have far more in common. I love all you brothers regardless of pigmentation. 😊
As a non-black, non-white person who grew up in a predominantly black community, I have found blacks to be far more accepting of non-blacks in their communities than any other race I've encountered in my 59 years, and the several countries I've traveled to. Does that mean a white man wouldn't be assaulted, or be robbed? No. But it has more to do with the environment he's in than the community he's a part of. I had a million things to say when I first watched this video but the fact of the matter is that I'd just be wasting my breath. As I mentioned elsewhere, I wouldn't be as concerned by the 2/100 guys who might use the N word as I would be about the many who would be thinking it. Can't wait for Jesus' return. That will put an end to all this madness.
@@petercrisp8314 This discussion is far more complex than can be addressed here on YT so we'll just agree to disagree. Is that even allowable anymore?
Spot on. I had a black cashier at Food Lion walk away from the register because I am white. I asked the manager if there is a problem and he told her to wait on me. Same Food Lion 3 boys walked over license credit cards and cash. I had my daughter with me and we picked all of it up and turned it into the manager at Food Lion he asked me what I was supposed to do with it. I said to lock it up or try to contact the person. She came back and found me in the Food Lion and wanted to purchase something for me and my daughter. I said no thank you because it was a lesson on what to do the right thing and she was offended by teaching my daughter the right thing to do. She was upset and said some racial words. I guess when you live in an area where 90% black it's only to be expected.
Fascinating video and talk. From the guest's point of view and starting from when he was in the system but decided to work in that same system to get a pension and the more important societal issue of race. Again, enjoyed the video and was listening to each and every word and the wind made it even more rewarding. (lol)
mexicans are really friendly like filipino based on my experience. I live in california. and a lot of my friends are mexican and when I am invited to their home everyone is very welcoming. I see this at Quinceañera all the time Ive been to many. never once did I not feel welcome.
Mexicans weren't enslaved by white people either. I think slavery is the biggest roadblock between black and white people and it will never go away. How would white people feel if they were enslaved? 🤔
Majority of Mexicans hate black people, trust me. I had many, many Mexican friends, and when I listened to their parents, I hear the most racist terms used against our people. I could never imagine why Mexicans hate us, when we had nothing to do with the ass whipping (Meixcan American War) and the subsequent land that was lost. Hell, Mexicans worship white folks, just like the dumb Filipinos worship White America.
The Mexican culture and the Philippine culture are very similar. That is because they sere both colonized by Spain. The Spanish culture runs deep in both countries
Paul the more I think about it the more I think you got played. Expats don’t come to Philippines for racial reasons. Why is he bringing this to paradise. Maybe he is trying to make the Philippines hate again.
I'm glad Jason is able to be purely clinical about this topic and that his experiences have not affected him in any emotional way. I hope Paul interviews Jordan Peterson next.
I had been planning a move to the PH prior to the "global Medical emergency". Needless to say, I was delayed by several years. After bouncing to 8 different countries (mostly SE Asia) while PH laws relaxed I have finally made it here. I had a much different strategy than most gringos. I opted to head north to cooler climates and avoid all the Expat BS. I’m in a small town now where I am THE ONLY GRINGO and have been treated like a king. And I got a nice country (providence) girl that is incredible. So If cooler temperatures (78 today/rest of PH 97+) head north, but bring a positive open mind and please MIND YOUR MANNERS, we are all guest here, bad manners affects us all.
Well, I watched the whole interview and I have huge issues with what was shared and the viewpoints both you and your guest have. Feel free to reach out if you’re serious about interviewing the other side of the coin.
I don't know the true genesis of racism but I can say, based on my personal experience, it is a learned response and if the poison is ingested at a young age can take a generation to eradicate.
Great show, Welcome to the neighborhood! Time to acclimate to another culture. Think we should give this guy the nickname of the Alien! Why? He has practically lived his whole life in cultures that were not his own! Where he had to assimilate dare me to say acquiesce to being an outsider. The round peg trying to fit in the square hole! Thus The Alien! Need to write a Book...
I see a budding friendship here, I have watched Paul's RU-vid channel evolve over the years and know he loves to be intellectually stimulated! Engaging and honest conversation. Thank you both.
Paul, Awesome video. I too worked in law enforcement & corrections in California after a 22 year Military Career. I concur that Education & 2 parent households are key factors effecting black-white relations. I submit that HollyWeird & Music Industry could step up and grab hold of not only young minds, but their older siblings as well for more positive interrace cooperation. Think of the racist dying that does not want the other race operating on them or donating an organ. Think of a well sung song by various artists of different races. Think of the Main Street News Networks showing different races helping each other in so many aspects of life. But most important - Get rid of identifiers! Men go in men's rooms, women go in women's rooms, other than that we judge each other on character and skill level (PERIOD)! Houses of Worship need to open their eyes and be honest with all they wish to speak to, GOD made us all & loves us all!
Great video! When you see yourself as in a tribe. Black/white, Muslim/Christian, Catholic/Protestant, Republican/ Democrat. Then differences get emphasized by the tribal leaders to keep the leaders in power. The problem with tribalism each one wants reprisals for perceived bad deeds. Then tribes get slaughtered. It becomes a circle of hate & violence.
Paul, this was a very interesting conversation. You have very interesting conversations. I had a black family as neighbors in an affluent neighborhood and his family were awesome people and never heard a racist word. He was married to a white woman and we loved them. I'm sure it's not always that way but for us it was.
If given the choice, who would want to live in a black community? The whites accepted the black man and his white wife. Paul's guest speaker was beaten up trying to re-hap a black community and was victim to racial slurs. Scott Adams was right.
Mr Paul I love you and respect your channel I think you're a wonderful guy. I also want you to know that I generally love every one most of the time 😂. Mr Paul I am also a black American man and I'm sorry but I disagree with your guess not totally but 85%. I also think and know money social status or high functioning jobs don't hide racism it just means your intelligently ignorant. I'm also sorry he experienced what he did as a younger man or child but black people experience that all the time and then told it's our imagination when we complain about it. But like I said Paul I love your videos Sr I'm sorry about this comment but that's my opinion.
