"You born looking like your dad. You die looking like your decisions." That was DEEP.
Take that one and Run!
Excellent visual!
Deep!!
deep
Deep!! And true
That's the way the world view you.
The biggest privilege I’ve had was having both a Mom AND a Dad, who’ve instilled the value of hard work.
Yes that’s a privilege 😃😃 I agree.
Save by grace spot on. 👍🏼
That's not privilege. That's table stakes.
Up until recent history, 70% of black homes had both parents.
@@someother7568 Actually around 1925 in places like Harlem, it was closer 85%. In certain years, the black household had a 2 parent household at a rate higher than whites. With that said, what point were you trying to establish?
If you were trying to establish the idea that current blacks are less privileged than their pre-Civil Rights counter parts in terms of household stability...then yes I agree with you. Now imagine if all of the black households had their post Civil Rights privileges along with stable 2 parent households??? Were you aware that there were many years when comparing 2 parent black households vs. 2 parent white households, the poverty rate was lower for the black household?
There's a reason why many black people profess the idea that the biggest problem facing the black community is the single parent household. The issue with that idea, is that it's more glamorous and profitable to push ideas that are predicated on racism and oppression.
iuArmandy's Way it
As a white man in America, I’ve always noticed black people can find the positive in even the most negative of situations and for that I thank y’all. It has changed my perspective on life in general
That's awesome ‼️ thanks ....now be our voice too ❤️
@@nefertitithompson5003 You know he's just going to turn a blind eye 🤣
Intellectual conversations are my love language! This was a great interview and I love how everyone was able to speak their mind without being condemned. Love this.
I was never taught financial literacy, because my parents didn't teach me. I dont think this is a racial issue its a class issue.
But you are taking it upon yourself to learn now, right? And then share that knowledge with whoever will listen 💯
Agreed, I was raised as trailer trash and I overcame this and taught myself about finances.
Financial literacy should be a part of basic education for everyone. It is not taught in many homes, not in most schools.
Even in that class it may not be taught. I wasn't taught either.
Coming from an upper middle class family, parents usually don't even pass down this information to their kids regardless of their class.
"born looking like you dad, die looking like your decisions😂" I need to remember that... Wow
Yes, that was a powerful statement.
This comment moved me!
Yeah i agree
Seriously. It’s a _fabulous_ quote.
Blaize Sibande This hit differently!!! 🔥
Schools drastically lack in teaching children how to prepare for their futures, they teach them about the past but fail to help them prepare their transition into adulthood.
That's kind of a parenting issue...
Schools teach children how to be drones, helpers, agents of white supremacy .
@@marishajames3581 those who are worthy will seek out the knowledge.. I can literally search "how to make tons of money" and plenty results will come up..
Our schools should be teaching financial literacy and realestate.
Why? That's like saying they should teach you not to pick up bubble gum off the street, don't jump into shallow water head-first or try to run across ice. These are common sense things.
I would argue that we should be teaching financial literacy, how appreciation and deprecistion work so that people can invest and buy things that will enrich their lives and their childrens lives snd their childrens lives. And instead of real estate, i would change that to critical thinking and ability to think.
In south florida we take classes this this, also, how to start a business that, and invest in stocks. I can tell you 95% of our class still hasn't done so. Something more has to be done.
My take away from this is, fathers and parenting in general are extremely important
African Americans are great people though we are still fighting for things that others benefit from and gives no recognition for it
The problem is, so many don't know what effective parenting is and therefore promote and practice self destruction
so true. I really agree with you, Peace Town
@@candycane9264 unmmm how come whenever I ride the bus y'all always screaming and fighting eachother.
Denzel would like this comment. He said something along the same lines.
"The biggest privilege I had was my dad."
A supportive, loving, present parent(s) makes a world of a difference ❤️
Black dads matter
I felt that
yfz450rx fathers!!!
lee cutler Dads matters period
Privilege for me:
1. belief in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST that HE broke the chains, fetters and bars that once hold us to all forms of slavery especially, mental slavery.
2. Freedom
3. Happiness
4. Health & strength
That faith is keeping you in slavery.......read the whole bible.......believing there is a master(god) who watches everything you do and will punish you if they don't like something you do is the very definition of slavery....
@@guym1234 Lol so being faithful to the Creator of our universe is slavery? No wonder there's so much dissension, disorder and disarray in the community. Look at where all this "freedom" (in your definition) got us.
You are so right...... thanks for the encouragemen🙌🏽🙌🏽💖
NO your ANCESTORS broke those chains, you are the descendants of GREATNESS.
💗❤💗❤
As a black woman: Playing the victim is using slavery as a reason why we can’t be happy NOW. Every time we talk about suffering or privilege, people bring up slavery FIRST. Huh? I can’t blame something I didn’t experience as the reason why I’m not happy or successful now. Slavery is a fake reason. I also think black people play the victim because we have a million reasons why we can’t be happy or fulfilled now. But can’t see any opportunities available to us. That’s the difference btw a black American vs literally everyone else. We can’t even NAME 5 opportunities or ways to advance ourselves in life. Every other minority can name things they suffered too, but they know way more ways to game the system to benefit in the end. We don’t! That’s playing the victim to me. Finally, I am more than what victimized me. You can be a victim to bad circumstances without PLAYING the victim and allowing it to become your whole identity. The problems with black Americans (not all black people) lie with the fact that our entire culture has been made to be about suffering and slavery, not beauty and culture. It’s sad bc our culture is real and valid, but we focus on the oppression as the unifier and it’s sad
I'm just curious, why does every other minority group know ways to benefit from the system🤔
I’m also curious to know what benefits other races have that I don’t
Hello Sunshine The system is still at work but not in the same way. I do agree, I look for ways to better myself. I am on God’s economic system. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof the world and they that dwell Therein. I look to God to bless me and give me favor in this world. The Word also says, when a man’s ways please the Lord he will make his enemies at peace with him. Too, many black people have fallen for the devil’s trick. The white man is not your problem- you are your own worst problem. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of my faith. Be blessed.
very well said...
Disagree - you don't have to play victim, you are a victim. Believing that slavery should have no impact on who you are or how you feel, is the same as saying that PTSD is fake, is the same as saying domestic violence does not affect a family for generation to come, etc.
I was an illegal immigrant here in the USA from Ethiopia for a couple of decades after my student visa expired. When you're an illegal immigrant, believe me, your hands are tied. Yet, I finished college with no student loans, I have my own house (after getting married, bought the house in her name), had money in the bank while still working to fix my papers. Now that I have a green card, my life is even more privileged even though my skin color is still black. It's my opinion that in today's society, in America we are all privileged. Stop thinking that you're a victim. It only makes you weaker.
Great story, welcome to America
Glad to hear of your success my friend. I have yet to meet someone who moved here from another country say they don't appreciate the opportunities one has access to here.
Do you visit Ethiopia at all since you moved?
@@arknark and @Donald Berton, thank you friends. I was planning to take the wife to see Ethiopia but then the pandemic happened. So, it is postponed now.
@@arknark You may not have met them, but they are there and public. Look at Ilhan and her squad. They want to dismantle this country completely. They are literally saying that. The solution is education. Educated people would shun people like them.
Glad you made it. Even though I disagree with you coming here illegally, you are the type if immigrant that America needs. Edit. The appreciative kind of immigrant. Gratitude is what this country is missing now.
The fact that the woman from the Caribbean who does not share a lot of the experiences is also very quiet says a lot. She may not feel victimized and she's afraid to speak on it. She was taught to "go after it, nothing can stop " you and that's very important. That foundation is important.
As a person from the Caribbean, I was taught when we moved to America to get an education and to go after the things you want. Don't let anyone stop you. That's what my parents told us.
So true. First generation families from other countries come here and exceed our African American familes that have been here several generations. Even though they may look identical. Its not racism holding people back, its their own mind and beliefs. As this beautiful Caribbean woman said. Be mindful what you speak as you may make it true. A culture that focuses on racism and victimization, becomes just that.
When I was talking to a friend of mine from Africa (haven't asked what part yet), he pretty much expressed the same sentiment.
@@troy5140 it's both
Maria Diaz - I just want to says... Not every white people have money or privilege. There a lot of white people who are homeless, sleep on the street and live under the bridge all across in the U.S. and every cities. What about other poor low-income white people who lives in the ghetto area or trailer park? And poor white people who live in a rural area with no running water and no electricity?
When he started talking about giving....I started crying. I felt that
Black People = Beautifully and Wonderfully made in the image of God.
Everyone * there is fixed it
@@codysantoscastillo873 I agree with Drew. What he said was his opinion, not a typo.
*Fearfully and wonderfully made
There. Fixed it! LOL!
Find purpose in a way that doesn't turn white people into monsters.
Stop this black vs white bullcrap. White people have to struggle just as hard and I don't owe you an apology.
I admire how beautiful this conversation is... everyone voicing their points but still respecting each other’s opinion ❤️ such a beautiful space with beautiful people
Love the respect they have shown to each other
Albert Raphela sameeee
Agree agree!
Thank you! I watched all four parts and appreciate the input from each and every person on this panel. This is what I call "healthy dialog". Yes, I would like to see more and even some with a panel mix of Blacks and Caucasians who are willing to have healthy dialogs like this. Again, thank you for presenting and God bless!
Thank you and to your panel. I’m learning.
Growing and expanding more nuclear Black Families are THE KEYS to success.
I agree with you. I always wonder if people have read the BLM mission statement which states “disrupting” the nuclear family structure as goal. That deeply concerns me. I’m not sure if everyone realizes the movement is directed at much more than police brutality.
@L. M I’ve read the BLM organization statement of beliefs as well. I found it to be marxist propaganda with its goals being to destroy GOD, the Black family & capitalism. I love GOD, my Family & America too much to support BLM.
James Daggs It’s encouraging to hear that! I hope that everyone who chooses to support the BLM movement will read it as well. And of course if after reading it fits find their value systems, support away. But, for those who value having present fathers as a large piece of the puzzle for lifting communities in need this may not be the group to support. I have shared the mission statement with several people and they were shocked to see that the group wasn’t just about police brutality etc. Thanks for the conversation 🙂
THIS 1000%.... identify why the black fathers keep leaving the picture.... thats how your going to fix things... dads give something a mother never could... that male perspective...someone for young males to identify with and follow examples. No matter how good your mom was there is no replacement for a good dad.. there are exceptions to this rule but overwhelming evidence supports this.
yes...with no dad one can blame others not their dad and follow their dad as a dead beat example and a victim....the need is amazing grace...not being a victim! decide to be your best
"Variety". Thank you for hosting such a high quality show with deep conversation. I really enjoyed it. Yes, would love to watch it next year!
Being an American is previlege....ask yourself why do everyone want to come to America....OPPORTUNITY
amen!!! its not the color of your skin,, its OPPORTUNITY!! and what you do with it!! thats what America is about! i love this dailog!
Point of correction not everyone want to come to America!! With all the guns in the streets hmmm there's not special about America seriously man
Opportunity isn't limited to America. There's a whole world of opportunity.
@@mamaonthefarm333 that is what all white people say to deflect actual topic.
But people that don't address a pit bull as the dog it is, will suffer the consequent of pretend.
Yes Amen 🙏
I think they don't recognize that most of what they're saying isn't race specific. It's CLASS specific.
They recognize that cos they mentioned it. However, these topics are focused specifically on how it affects the black community.
Correct and minorities have been treated and viewed as lower class for a long time. That has progressively gotten better but we started at below zero, not even citizens but property.
Thank you!
Ryeness *-* If it’s not about race and more so about poverty. Then why or how did Blacks become so plagued by poverty?
Did you not understand the part about white privilege? As they said, of course some of those things happen to white people, but your skin color was not a factor in why it happened. This was about how the black community is being affected.
We have to stop hurting one another and learn to celebrate each other.
We don't care enough about each other. The word tells us the live if many has waxed cold. We need to self live and reach out and love. Stop being selfish. Stop being haters too.
Yes
Rosetta Denton i care about you all
True👍🏾
This video is incredible!! I went from laughing at their light hearted spirit and comment to being literally in tears!! thank you so much to this whole group for sharing their experiences, perspectives and truth! So much love to all of you
Thank you so much for taking the time to have this panel discussion. We need more of this and I am sending this around to others to take the time to watch, listen, and learn. So good to hear different perspectives. So encouraging. Please do more.
Finances are not taught in the white schools either. Not where I'm from
It's not taught anywhere. I've only seen of heard of this taught only in private schools, and even then, only as an elective. That's crazy.
Exactly. Parents need to start taking responsibility and accountability. It all starts in the home. Can't put it all on the school system.
Truth
Dawn Same here. I went to a private school and never learned anything about managing finances.
True that, public schools in any area do not teach finances, and would you want them to? Public schools teach a mandated curriculum with a political slant, bias and politics make it into the textbooks, and even some teacher push an agenda, finances should be taught at home
"We can focus on what happened FOR us, instead of what happened TO us"....powerful. No victimhood here
Yes this was so beautiful to me as well! This can be applied to everyone. This statement to me had NO LIMITS.
@ISaidIt 2 compare what you have rn, and what your ancestors had. Compare. No one's holding you back bruh, grow up.
@ISaidIt 2 oh please. I'm black and got way more than what I expected. Stop with your victim hood bruh. It ain't a good look.
The one word that I think is “Family” the most important thing in every race and culture that shapes your future. I’m Mexican American Conservatives and I really liked the honest conversation👍🏽
I really enjoyed listening to this...and i think I have a better understanding of this issue. Thank you for this intelligent and good natured sharing of thoughts and feelings. This is the kind of conversation that will ultimately bring about needed change.
"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots."
I agree, but we’re trying to erase history. Not a good idea!
Yes if can make you see like you are drifting, but you honestly don’t need to know anything about your past to make good choices for yourself. You don’t make the choice to study hard for a test because your parents did well in school? You study hard because you want to succeed. You can plant roots anywhere and anytime you want. However, roots (a support system, family or friends) can be a source that opens opportunities, and provides encouragement when you need it the most. So don’t neglect community. 😘
I agree. I come from an old family with an unbroken line (about 500 years) my history is American history so my education started before preschool, liturature, art, etc. I take for granted that not everyone was raised the same way.
Agreed 💯
Man I feel bad for Native Americans now.
When Tasha said, "We have students who you can tell they know nothing about finance, no financial literacy whatsoever, they barely know how to complete their financial aide request to get into school". This is sad. Thank you God for opening my eyes young. I finished my BSN in 2018 with $0.0 debt.
I heard her say that and I thought.. nobody learned that in school. It's sort of common sense... Don't spend more money than you can afford.
Yay for nursing! ❤️💕
What an amazing group of people sharing so openly and allowing the rest of us to learn. Thank you for making and sharing!
Thank you all for speaking honestly, respectfully and with such grace. This is the kind of dialogue that leads to change. Speak what you seek until you see what you say. Gold!
once a month if at all possible. to have these type of discussion with various types of black people of different economic education and backgrounds just as you have done. Thank You.
TRUE.
Bring everybody in.
I definitely learned a lot.
Heard it best said in this.
The heart beat of America.
The star of the American story.
God Bless
Yes please
Agree. All ages have a voice
Yes, this is great stuff. Let's take it a step further and have a live show, where people can be part of the conversation and add a lil.
I am a 47 year old man that was brought up in the projects as a kid....daddy was a jail bird and mother was a welfare mom...the sad reality is if we let conditions of the past dictate who we are, we may never gather the courage to attempt to be successful....I know what it's like to be attacked physically and mentally based on race and it sucks....but as a proud father of 5 and a hard working man that still puts in 60-70hrs per week. Anybody who sets their mind on a better future can have it. No bank ever gave me anything until I developed my credit. No building exist designated for handing out gifts and blessings to white folks that I know of....it's through hard work, and the determination to never ever allow my children to be subject to my personal beginnings that keeps me pushing...no excuses, no regrets...
Your awwwesome Mr. Wommack
Deepest respect!
Wise words Joe!
Yes, but a fairer system would be nice :)
my dad was so poor they had an outhouse. He lived on a farm in the far north. He worked full time to put himself through college. He believed his kids should learn about life so we all worked full time and paid for our own college. We went to 2 year colleges first and then state universities after. We all have our trials. lots of people are poor. we are white. my inheritance was a spiritual one, like you all, and it is the true value of my life, like yours. Jordan Peterson, the psychologist said no one really gets away with anything in life. I think its true. God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man reap, that also will he sow. God bless you. Whatsoever things are good and true and right, think on these things...
This was life changing! Thank you all involved!
This is so, so, so good. What amazing panel of people and I feel blessed to have heard each one’s perspective. Thank you for this content and please keep putting it out!
This is what back folks need. A simple conversation
I’m white and I needed it too.
👍🏾True
@@pennybange4616 you right all people in the world no matter what coller are culture background.
We need far more than this....smh🤦🏿♂️
@@winningblack5112 true but it’s starts with first being able to sit down and talk out our problems instead of rioting.
Who can underestimate the place of a supportive father.
This conversation opened my eyes to so much. And I'm leaving it inspired, motivated, educated and proud. ✊🏿 This is black excellence. We need more REGULAR conversations like these. I say this as a 23 year old black women with a 4 year degree.
Such a cringe comment
Definitely want to see more of this! Great discussion and much needed!
I love how honest the young cat is! He's the only one with the courage to admit what we as a people could stand to change.
He is just cocky. He thinks he is the most successful on the panel, but he is not. (He is probably successful by his own standards, but what I have seen and experienced myself, is that pay disparity among the two races is real. Salaries are often hidden, and sometimes comes to light through some fluke.)
The older gentleman in the front row and the older woman in the second row are the most successful.
Systemic racism does exist, a simple search of university and govt. studies conducted bears this out. "To be forewarned is to be forarmed." The important thing is to know that racism, exists so that you know how navigate it.
Agreed! To say that no change is needed is not true for any race or individual person!
lisa stop just thinkin that guy is cute; get knowledge; he needs some, also why do u think he is there on the panel he has no real indepth interjections thats if were talking about the dude on the second row on the left facing the computer
You're the same! All my respect and thanks.
The cupcake business owner is so wise, I love her
She’s so classy
I agree , and Im learning from her.
True
I knew it the moment I saw her. She didn't even have to say a word. But her words...
The only one on that priviledged panel.
I shared this conversation to my 16 year old grandson. All of our sons and grandsons need to see this. We'll done!! God bless!!
Thank you for sharing this conversation with the world. It's important to be heard by all. In response to your final prompt, my one word is game-changers
“There is the nothing I can’t do. There is nothing I can’t be. I AM PRIVILEGED!” That is the truth for anyone in America.
No, that is truth for THAT individual who feels that way about themselves. You cannot apply that persons confidence of themselves or opportunity to every person.
That rationale would be absolutely true if all people were actually treated fairly.
PERSON, WOMAN, MAN, CAMERA,TV
"Speak what you seek, until you've seen what you said" This is powerful.
Yed
This vid needs tons more views. Great interview!
The guy in blue is pure intellect. Loved every bit of this💙
"Live below your means. Lead by example. Open the door for transparency, instead of pretending where we are."
Live below your ego, no need to live below your means. Living is the end to your means. We (and I in my own experiencees) don't understand that living to your means is acceptable, it's a decision based on values.
"We don't own the culture we create" . That whole perspective by the gent in blue is echoing.
"We learn to deal with vicitimization" Tha point was said a few times. How strong do you get doing this for generations? How does this come out when it does?
Powerful!
I would like to say thank you and to the panel. ❤
May the most high God continue covering each and every one of you and an abundance of blessings. 🙏🏾
Thank you for this
"renewing your mind with truth"
All I hear is people talking about 'my truth' these days. THE truth has been cast aside in favor of my truth. It's pretty easy to stoke a race war when it is made impossible to agree on a truth that transcends individual experience.
Facts Matter Jesus, explain that, a little, not sure what it is, sounds interesting? I agree with the “my truth” and “the truth” statement
Facts Matter understood thanks
It is good to be white. Be proud of your color!
Would love to see this again.... asking the difficult questions ... maybe having half white w/ half black panel and progressing further , deeper into many more dialogue
I would like to see this with different races and different classes of people.
this was so good , Anthonys face was ME ! Good stuff my guy.
I appreciate the conversation you guys had. I truly believe that we can fix anything we're going through as long as we first put it on the table and discuss it. We gotta get up to speed and get a real understanding of what we're up against. We have a lot of work to do 💯🙏🏿👑
When the young lady talks about her life experiences are different cause she grew up different, that's everyone..... I lived in trailer parks my entire life, I grew up in Grundy Va. (Google it 20yrs ago.).. until I got a job and moved away from my parents.... All people struggle in different ways, so some of these people are talking about 200$ tennis shoes, I buy my work boots and tennis shoes at shoe carnival where I pay full price for work boots and get my tennis shoes fo 50% off and still spend under 200$$cause my work boots are 125$. I'm not saying I'm a victim or someone else had a privilege, I'm saying my parents made bad decisions and I try to make better decisions for my children. My entire family on my mother's side (12 siblings) were coal miners or married to coal miners, so imagine how a white man sho was raised in trailer parks wearing his older sisters old shoes which were used when she got them feels when someone talking about first thing they think of when they hear privilege is white people silver spoon and 20 minutes later is talking about having a couple pair of 200$ shoes. I heard the older gentlemen talking about individual decisions and overcoming expectations, you know what that's how some white people feel also, so I won't pretend to know the struggle of a African American but don't assume all white people where privileged. I watch these videos so I can educate myself on other people's opinions and experiences... have any of you ever watched 1 on white people who grew up in poverty???? I'm not coming from a place of hate or racism or I wouldn't try to educate myself, I'm just saying please don't assume all white people had white privilege and silver spoons....
Well said!
This is the most accurate thing ever. Growing up I saw both sides of each race & cultures from White Americans, Black Americans & Hispanic Americans. I saw rich white people & poor white people. My brother had a friend who was white & was troubled. No one knew why until he told us that his mom was a drug addict & her constantly changing boyfriends would beat him. There wasn't any white privilege. The rich white people worked hard & they took care of their stuff. They were strict with their kids. My mother babysat the daughter of a black BP agent. She was super hard working & always treated us with respect. We also knew of the black people that lived in government housing that would sell drugs. The same with Hispanics. To me it's not just about race or culture. It has to do with yourself. You can better yourself or stay where you're at.
Glad that you have been able to get yourself out of that cycle. Good luck.
@@alondrac3670 thank u, and I agrre100%%% individualism, not color is our greatest asset, that will always be true for everyone
What does it say on the back of that billboard coming out of Grundy.....well at least it did 20 years ago
@@rayraydondada8863 probably something about the golden wave, it was all about high school wrestling back then
College isn't for everyone, being entrepreneur isn't for everyone, get a trade and apply yourself, get a job at whatever it is that you're good at to make a living to support your family. If your are able to find your dream job and be successful then more power to you, I'm happy for you. Life is NOT easy for anyone, let us all do our best to keep moving forward and accomplish great things. Stop comparing yourself to others, set your own standards and goals, who cares what the "Jones" are doing.....are you happy with your life and what you have accomplished? if so, then that's all that matters.
Amen!!
Not happy until black people aren't suffering disproportionately under the institutional systems that run our country 😎✌🏾

this was an amazing stream! thank you. the one word that comes to mind when you say black people is uplifting. black women have been my biggest defenders and taught me how to defend myself.
Great people here! It is refreshing to hear each and every perspective. The best part is that they all take ownership and responsibility for themselves and their families and their communities. Kudos to the host too! 🤗
When I hear "black people" the first word that comes to mind is STRENGTH. God bless. This was one of the best hours of my week!
This was a phenomenal conversation!!! I loved all perspectives and honesty! As a black man this touched my soul so deeply. Thanks for sharing this AO! 💪🏁
Definitely another one ! Thank you so much !!!
Definitely loved this! Please do more
I loved this discussion however I would like to see panels that discuss the family more. If we look not only at the numbers (marriages & children born out of marriage) observe how we go about daily life our view of the family unit has eroded. If we want our children to do better than we did, improve the community & to grow financially how can we do this when we can't master the simple God given structure of a husband a wife and children living under one roof. Strong communities, start with strong families and we can't continue operating in denial that who we are & what we do at home carries over into all other aspects of our lives.
🙌🏻
Say it out loud
Very well said.
Fathers, fathers, fathers! Dad's are so important. These great black people are successful in life because they have had good strong father figures.
Thanks for this video! I learned a lot in one hour! I especially like the quote "You're born looking like your dad and leave looking like your decisions."
Yes, definitely, do another video like this. Very empowering and meaningful discussion that we persistently need!
These people dont seem to understand that EVERYONE struggles, that EVERYONE gets disrespected, that EVERYONE has to deal with other people's perception of them. Being disrespected, insulted, and experiencing prejudice isn't only a black person problem. Its a human problem.
Everyone struggles but the thing about white privilege is if you were pulled over you would get sent home because you’re white but if it was a black man he would get tackled to the ground because the color of your skin
Well said
This is not a topic about everyone this is a discussion made for black to get their insights on oppression of their people and also community. Yes everyone does struggle, but a black persons struggle is seen as a norm not only to the world, but a lot of times to ourselves. This video was a discussion made for black people to create a move froward in creating a better community amongst black people.
@@rileyrandle9478 why do you think that about whites?
@@rileyrandle9478 that's just absolutely not true. Just because you get pulled over and are white does not mean that you're going to be able to go home afterwards without getting detained and cuffed or arrested and taken to jail. Or tackled to the ground and restrained if you're resisting, obstructing or simply not complying and following lawful orders given by the officer who pulled you over. Just the same as if you get pulled over and are black does not mean that you're going to be tackled to the ground and then arrested and taken to jail. Furthermore, the only way that the rising tensions in this country are ever going to cease or even get better is if people stop being so disingenuous and spreading falsehoods disguised as facts.
This was an amazing panel discussion and excellent content. Anthony's facial expressions had me rollin' 😂👏🏾✊🏾
He so cute.
He look one of the chipmunks. Alvin n them! 😀
This was an absolutely beautiful and truthful conversation! More of this needs to happen.
I absolutely loved this panel. Such an enlightening discussion!
Simone Park dropped the biggest piece of uncaught wisdom in this whole focus group:
Raised in "a predominantly white" neighborhood and yet the closest thing she ever came to experiencing racism was when a child said about her brother, "look momma, his hands are dirty!".
So while all the loudest voices, i.e. Christian, Tasha, and Shawn are the most racially divisive, the quietest and least racist individual in the whole group was the one who didn't live amongst her own ethnic group...
That was very interesting.
Also interesting that Christian, being in the ministry, is so jaded and racially divisive.
@@jay221982 Bro, I was so disappointed! I expected an American Evangelical to be more honest and call out the liars that claim systemic oppression on Black Americans.
When I hear privilege I think of anyone who is born into wealth or a prestigious family.
EXACTLY!
There are many types of privileges and class privilege is definitely one of them. People who are white has it easier than those who are not. Those born middle class have easier than those born poor. Those born abled bodied has it easier than those born with disabilities. Everyone has a privilege over someone else and have a disadvantage compared to someone else. Anyone can make it in America, it's just for each privilege it's a bit easier and for each disadvantage is going to be harder. Good work ethic, working hard/smart, and perseverance will end in success for almost anyone.
Love these videos!! Thank you all for a beautiful conversation. Very helpful.
Such a great panel! I throughly enjoyed watching this and listening to everyone’s views. To the host- Great questions. One word: Untouchable.
A victim mentality is the most damaging trait you can possess. Dont use it, lose it.
A kid is an honour student but gets pulled over and mentally n emotionally abused because he is black is not playing the victim card
@@charbaker6564 No one is saying there aren't actual victims.
The minister is relying on his human understanding instead of deriving insight from a biblical perspective.
Very true.
@Jey Kent very true.
Love the cupcake lady! Very intelligent and insightful. ❤️
Agree to a curtain extent ..but to meet people where they are at ..you have to go to the human level. Talking to an atheist ..in a Christian or Jewish mind set ..basic belief systems are not the same ..so sharing thoughts and ideas w those beliefs shaping so much ..have to almost dumb it down to the basic human level to be inclusive.
The Bible doesn't say you can't think for yourself
Loved this
I appreciate you hosting this discussion. Thank you.
I think if we stop using the terms "black" and "white" and just see people for their character.. it will end a lot of tension.. see people for who they are and not what they look like or wherever they are from can go a long way to help in the healing.. and I say this as someone who has experienced racism, prejudism, and colorism..
I can agree with you, BUT we don’t know our true identity.
You should be able to acknowledge physical differences without being hateful
We were headed there and then this current stuff happening will set back race relations decades.
V Arq-TAy laying my identity on the foundation of being a child of God, rather than on my race or my career, has been the most liberating thing I’ve done in my life. “Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed through the renewal of your mind” -Romans 12:2 🙏🏼 Blessings
@@kellyyyanneee Yes, it's almost as if it's on purpose, that certain groups might benefit from it 🤔.
All cultures, even WHITE culture has many different perspectives and aspect, different circumstances for individuals within that culture.
would be very interesting to see this same kind of convo with white people of different cultures instead
I agree. I would even go further. What is even white culture? As in.. is there such thing? I am from Spain, living in the UK. There are quite a lot of cultural differences to the point of total integration is kind of difficult (in my experience). I have met Russians and they were completely different. Polish, Bulgarian, Greek and Dutch... I could find great differences in all of them. I have worked along Ghanaians and Nigerians, different between themselves and veeeeery different to U.K. born & raised black people I have also worked with. So yeah, totally agree with you!
There is no such thing as "white" culture, just as there is no such thing as "black" culture. No monolithic, homogeneous "white/black" culture exists and using those terms only perpetuates the myth and furthers division.
Reverend Wyrm just because you don’t see black or white culture does not mean it doesn’t exist. I think the more honest and open about our cultural differences the better off we will be. Trying to pretend we’re all the same isn’t working. I’m not saying one culture is better than the other, just different. And differences should be celebrated and understood. How can we understand our cultural differences if we don’t openly and honestly talk about them?
TheTuesday11
I am curious, what is the difference in “race” and “culture” because I heard both discussed in this episode yet interchangeably. If we consider all humans as one race, is that wrong? But the difference in culture a thing to be celebrated? Having been to many countries, I have seen many different cultures and races themselves have very different facets and differences. Like light skinned to dark skinned blacks. Or whites that are from different parts of the USA are often very different as whites from Russia or S. Africa! So it is important to distinguish culture but, race is separate to me. And where do mixed races exist? Many light completed blacks are not able to fit in with darker skinned groups like the Sudanese but, in America they are “black” in race. Sean King is possibly 1/4 or so black and is a activist for BLM.
I am simply saying, is there a diff when discussing race and culture? And if so, how can we celebrate our uniqueness while uniting as bro and sis in humanity to move beyond the division?
this was absolutely delightful. Informed and respectful dialogue and so many excellent takeaways. really wonderful
I just saw this video today. I’ll share one thing I was told while I was active duty in the military. A white friend of mine told me that he noticed no matter where we (brothers) were located in the world at peace or in war that even though we didn’t know each other we always acted like we knew each other all of our life. I never really thought of that but it was true. Great video! I tell anyone who listens that you are always being interviewed. Someone pays attention to you all of the time. So, I just try to be the best me everyday! 👊🏾❤️
This was some of the most intellectual, beautiful conversation I've heard in a long time. So much truth and heart, regardless of where you stand with all the questions.
These are the people who should be considered our leaders not musicians arts and actors. Because who we call our black leaders are really just that actors you never see a groups of people that look like this, speak like this, I love it we need more content like this. everyday every month not just in February
Why would it matter how they look or speak? They are people.
Did you not listen to the conversation? Put it like this people have a tendency to harken un to people who look like themselves or people they grew up with. The the constant of what someone talks about is everything. So its profitable for the youth to hear people who look like them speak good things opposite to the usual garbage.
@@meknownada6741 Eh.. no. People gravitate to white people... actually. Can you walk down the streets of a white neighborhood without fearing for your life? You better believe it. Can you do the same in a black neighborhood? Odds are against it. So, even black CHILDREN gravitate to white people unless they are instilled with racism at a young age. That.. is a very sad fact and a testament to our nation's racism right now.
Well said! But it will change if Bidens wins!
True. I only entertain the intellectual thoughts shared by people who aren’t acting as modern day minstrels.
AWESOME is my word! This was so good! Thank you.
I'd love to see this again next year.
"what do you think of black people" After watching this, I think GROWTH. The black community has constantly been growing and evolving. With wise and strong leaders they can be the foundation of a new way to live in America that all people can follow.
I love what he, the man in blue, says about investing in a business for your children instead of paying for a degree. I grew up lower middle class and my husband grew up poor in rural Texas. Neither of us are great with money or have degrees, however, we are financial better off than some of our siblings with degrees. Granted we've been blessed that my husband has natural ambition and intelligence. I honestly don't think that he would have made more money with a degree. He wanted to start several small businesses ventures, as a youth, but was told no by his parents and instead they sent him to college for music, he had a scholarship, and he quit. Knowing that he would not be able financially get where he wanted to be with a music degree. Knowing him I know that any business he started would have been successful, but having a music degree was not where he saw his success. I think as parents we need to really look at what our children excel in and not think inside this little box that society has made. We need to be promoting our children's strengths and not shoving them into a mold. Not everyone has to go down the same path to be successful.
live in your income . My uncle always told me. live on budget. no money, In pocket . no buying .
I loved this panel, learned so much, most of all; how to love all over again! I was born to a Native American father, white mother, who were divorced when I was 8... I was raised with 3 different step fathers, abuse in every form, dirt poor. Started working at age 15, walking to work 3 miles one way. I had my first car at age 26, my first child at 25, out of wed-lock, my second at 29, by the time he was 2 months I was a single parent. I know what it’s like to walk through snow knee deep carry a baby in a pouch just to get my wick, and food stamps to eat. When my second baby was 6 months, I started cleaning homes, then businesses. I stayed single. Bought my 1st home, earned my GED, at age 37, I started college, stop cleaning homes, worked 2 jobs and cared for elders on the weekend to pay my bills and college. I was eligible for pell grant but it did not pay for all my classes or books. It took me 4 yrs to earn my 1st degree bcuz I had to work full time and school partime. By the time my first son graduate high school I graduated with my AS. Then When my second son graduated, I graduated with my BS in nursing paying all my school. I only took out one loan for 12G, paid it off in 3 yrs, being Native American you’d think I would be eligible for scholarships, well let me put truth to that myth... only if you belong to a tribe and are actively involved can you earn a scholarship, (notice I said earn, not given) So let me ask you now does this story sound like someone who is privileged? We all can come from hardship, uneducated backgrounds where life is a struggle, no matter what your race! Your life will be what you expect it to be.... so expect the best, and put faith to work, becuz faith without work is just a dream... dreams can end when you wake up, so don’t wake up at age 60 with the regret of should’ve, could’ve, only if you had would’ve. It’s not about skin color, skin color is only the beautiful coating god painted us with like the flowers... so Bloom and be proud!
Mike
Listen ... I had to stop reading what you said to take notes!!! You are amazing!!! I'm so proud of you and what you've done with your life! Bravo, young mother/champion! Bravo!
This panel was amazing! I definitely would like to see more! Thank you AO!
So grateful for the opportunity to listen and hear. And the one word... Inter-connected. Thank you.
My parents taught me how to save money, open a checking account and build credit and how to use credit cards reasonably! I didn’t expect that to come from schools. This should start from raising kids. I now consider this as privilege because I have never had student loans and I have three degrees 2 advanced degrees. So my husband and I teach our children about credit, savings and building wealth!
I agree, I teach my sons. However!
Not everyone has that information. If the grandparents were not taught fiscal responsibility, how do they teach their children, how do they in turn teach their children and so on. It's a real situation.
I appreciate you for that, much love and respect to you and yours.
This was amazing. Thank you for doing this. My one word fighters.
We fight to keep living, we fight to succeed, we fight to be heard, we fight each other, we fight to worship, we fight to be educated and to educate, we fight to vote, and we fight to be respected.
Wow, I absolutely LOVED the conversation!
When I think of black people the word that comes to mind is strong. But as said on the video, there are many words that come to mind such as beautiful, powerful, resilient, and unstoppable.
Thank you for the video, I look forward to watching more!
Anthony....I watched all 4 episodes. I wanted to hear, I wanted to learn and I wanted to understand. If I had to answer your last question, before I watched, I would have said "angry". After investing 1:13:53 minutes in listening to this panel interview, my answer is "inspirational". Thank you for such a truthful, God loving, difficult to hear and healing because I listened message. God Bless you and everyone on your panel. ♥
The issue about being perceived differently based on how she dressed, that happens to a lot of people. I go to the store in sweats and I get a different treatment than if I get dressed up.
Same here!
I think the human race is judgmental. A person looks at another person and makes a judgment within seconds.
We all need to take an extra second and self dialog, I do not know that person or what they have been through, do not judge them!
I love this so much.
🙌🏾 This was beautiful to see! Just the excellences and relatable answers.
Watching this panel that you put together from all different backgrounds gives me hope in the sense that despite what's being reflected on the news daily, and how we are perceived on the media, that we can carry the load of change in our community. Never have I seen black and brown people turn away from helping others, but I do think the focus needs to be directed towards us on what it means to understand debit, credit, finance, and financial freedom. The race isn't short its a marathon. Let's go. Great video. Look forward to sitting and talking with you soon.
I think we can all benefit from more understanding of finances. I only started investing last year. Before that I only saved money in my bank. Now that I see how much I am able to make by being a bit risky with my investments I wish I had started years ago. Even if I push all of my current money into my investments it can’t equal out the amount I would have earned if I started years earlier. Time is a critical factor towards improving monetary wealth and by the time we realize this we are years behind.
