Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks
Reading these comments is proof of the need for continuing to educate white people on systematic racism. But, I also gotta say - this country has violent roots that speak to its probable violent future when it comes to race in this country. Thank you, Robin, for your voice and strength.
@Marcus Salem oh you're the same dumbass I was talking to in another thread? I guess trolls got to get trolled, yo.
@Marcus Salem I'm obligated to point out the irony of you accusing me of following you, while you're responding to a 2 month old post. ROTFL, I forgot you even existed till I saw this post. In fact, I don't even remember enough about you to pick up wherever we left off.
I gather you don't like this information. Well it's simple. Don't come back to it, if it bothers you. I'm sure RUclips's algorithms can find you a nice echo chamber if you let it.
@Chris Trevanion You feel better, now?
@Chris Trevanion They cry out in pain, as they strike you...
You mean the systemic racism against white people, like affirmative action, which is the discrimination against white people in university admissions? How about diversity hiring, which is the discrimination against white people in business? How about back in the middle of the pandemic, medical institutions were instructed to deny treatment to white people? How about defense attorneys and judges in Democratic cities that intentionally release violent criminals, only because they're black? How about Critical Race Praxis taught in public school, who's ideas are directly taken from self-proclaimed racists like Robin DiAngelo, which gaslights children into believing that all white people are racist? Will you condemn any of these racist things like a true anti-racist would, or are you going to make excuses, because you're actually ok with (systemic) racism, as long as it's against a particular race (whites)? I've asked this question to many self-proclaimed "anti-racists", and so far, *not one of them has condemned the systemic racism against white people.* That tells me that this movement isn't actually about fighting racism, it's about revenge, and seeking power for people of color. Maybe you'll prove me wrong though...
I love Robin’s work and her insights.
However, one question - she always seems to speak to rooms full of fairly pampered, insulated, metro white liberals.
So, how would you present this information to a room full of truckers, electricians, welders, oil roughnecks, warehouse workers, farmers, ect?
Good question.
I don't live in the elite, academic circles where she is; so I don't know whether she can even conceive of such worlds as the ones you're asking about.
I only know I live here; and I'm a woman of color, and some of the nicest people I've ever known have been white guys with jobs like you mentioned -- who are not racist at all.
I feel like her wealth-privilege is blinding her to this whole other world where people are happy to work together as equals, who respect each other's skills and experience, regardless of race or gender.
She reminds me of a freshwater aquarium fish, who can not understand how fish live in the ocean. 🤷🏾♀️
I think that she goes to places where people who are interested in learning are.
The people who attend her lectures are typically looking for this information and have the time/money to spend hours at work discussing the topic.
I don't think the groups you mentioned are actively seeking this information.
Plus, how would she get groups of truckers, for example, together to talk about this?
She's basically singing to the choir. Her BS talk would never fly with intelligent people which is why she knows better than to talk to them. No, her audience are all pampered middle and upper-middle class black and white people who've never had any real hardships in their lives.
@@MyNextShotWontMiss how do you know that?
And what specifically is BS that she was saying?
She is actually doing the right thing. She is giving white people with more resources who she actually identifies...with more the tools to counter fellow white people.
Funny thing is a lot of comments come to reinforce the very content of this video.
Even coming from your own, you won't hear it. And none of these comments which state that what the woman is presenting is false has any argument, explanation, evidence that it is indeed wrong, none...
It's a lost battle, good luck.
@Marcus Salem I'm not sure where you're going with this mate... Did you watch the video?....
@Marcus Salem If you listened to what the lady said, you wouldn't be asking this question which in itself doesn't make much sense...
So maybe were you referring to white supremacy instead?
@Marcus Salem Sorry dude it doesn't make any sense, with no disrespect.
@Marcus Salem Well again no argumentation here, I'm forced to believe you're trolling... I won't get into the usual comment section name calling.
Instead I'll say, she's adressing white people regarding unknown bias and the roots of it, from birth and previous generations. Now, how does that apply to a country , or the countries you listed? Hence why I'm asking, did you watch the video and understand the subject at hand?
@Marcus Salem In pure white supremacy fashion, deflection, name calling, no argumentation and of course attacking non white people intelligence.
And looking at your account, it looks real as hell too.
Thanks for the input. You're winning.
Gotta love the comments which reaffirm the content within this video. She predicted the behavior of everyone objecting in this comments section and dissected it down to the sub-molecular level, and folks still can’t help themselves but to prove her point again and again and again. Is this some sort of ultra super meta trolling in which trolls engage in their chosen activity, knowing they’re wrong and that everyone else does too?
Look up the definition of a “Kafka trap”.
I see, so because many people have pointed out her errors, therefore she is right! great logic you are using. I suppose the fact that I just exposed your flawed reasoning, it proves your reasoning correct too?
@@davidgaskin1558 Try looking up the definition of systemic racism first.
@@vincentcerasoli5969 Already have.
@@davidgaskin1558 That's good to hear. So if you comprehend it, then you understand how serious a problem racism is and dismissing those who are qualified anti-racist educators with disingenuous claims of "kafka trap" is actually just further protecting and perpetuating white supremacy.
Great points:
The nine areas of social activity where racism/white supremacy touches, manifests itself as the areas on her screen where there is racial disparity.
1. Education
2. Law, screen shows criminal justice
3. Economics, covers health care and net worth
4. Labor, on screen as employment
5. Entertainment, she covers this in this talk, too.
6. Politics
7. Religion
8. Sex
9. War
She covered these pretty well. Did I leave anything out?

Facts and stats. That’s what you left out:

@Marcus Salem statistical data in the hands of a fool is like a caveman with a copier. Just because you can site some percentages you pulled from some place, doesn't mean you know how to interpret or contextualize this data.
@Marcus Salem Feel free to post an example of when I have put pure statistical data up here without a contextual analysis of that data in a non satirical way. I'll wait.
@Marcus Salem put down the crack pipe. You're the one who said the above. You're just contradicting your own self, now. If you can't be coherent in 2 consecutive post, you're 15 minutes past STFU.
@Marcus Salem cognitive dissonance poster boy
Thanks for not disabling the comments. It's the most interesting part of these SJW videos.
I think her next book should be called, 'White Senility'!!!!
‘White Senility’…
You mean ‘White Selective Memory.’ 😂
Sure, if you want her to write that book about you personally.
I watched the whole lecture, waiting her to make an actual point. Apparently I missed it. What was the point?
Dimitri Andreou short bus alert
I'm a software engineer at Google. Nice though.
The point? "Fuck white people"
You a a fragile ass white boy that upholds white supremacy by playing dumb.
Dimitri Andreou
She’s a racist who plays identity politics to make money. She profits off the false narratives of systemic racism. She’s Jesse Jackson 2.0.
How convenient, criticizing the idea proves the idea. What a convenient idea you have. This is simply a way of shutting down legitimate criticism of a terrible idea. I don’t believe this idea is helpful for tackling racism. There are specific issues we can look at, but this is simply muddying the water at best and if anything making the problem worse. What do you think is going to happen when you go around telling well-meaning people that they are inherently racist?
Denial comes in many forms.
@@geekmeee So does delusion. So do scams. So does emotional manipulation. You are being manipulated.
@@geekmeeeexcept there’s no such thing as “proving a negative,” and there’s no such thing as “racist until proven not racist.” There’s no such thing as a “burden” of “disproving” self-serving unfalsifiable fallacies.
Any dressing for this word salad?
Any education for this ignorant RUclipsr?
At some point Robin needed to to figure out why she was a racist. Instead of accepting personal responsibility and looking in herself for the problem, she blamed the culture. She explains her racism by her skin color and the country she grew up in, and then concludes all white people in this country are equally racist. I don't think so. I think Robin needs to take responsibility for her racist views and blame society.
Anybody want to call out blacks for their racism. Surely out of 40,000,000 million blacks somebody is racist it has to be. They do have a brain so there could be unconscious racism lurking in there, right. I mean just look at the comments.
tinmanx2222 did you even watch the video??? Anyone can be prejudice???
Pizza Happiness we are humans in a society and we are born into cultures...
I think Robin was spot on. American culture teaches everybody white to be racist. If you took your head out of your ass, you would be able to see it.
@@tinmanx2222 Does this country show racism to white people? No dumbass, so some racism from some individual black people don't matter.
Can't be neutral on a moving train.
I think her next book should be called "lol. Jk. I'm just a racist - Robin"
Are there any speakers who recognize the true complexity of privilege? For instance, materialistic privilege; the benefit of being a person who identifies with the values of this culture. Talk about being a fish swimming downstream. I may be a
middleclass-white-cis-male, but my soul is an androgynous curandero of Pucalpa, and it's not inconceivable that I might experience more alienation and more difficulty assimilating with this status-seeking, object-obsessed society than most. Doctors in this culture call me schizophrenic. In any room in America, I feel like the odd man out. My identity is so much more than skin-deep. BTW, the Romans colonized and enslaved my people and I never adopted the materialistic values which motivated them to do it. In fact, I don't even know who my ancestors were, exactly. People of color, I probably identify with (and embody) the values of your ancestors WAY more powerfully than you do. I despise materialism. I despise industrialization. I shop almost exclusively in thrift stores, and I shop less than anyone I know. I don't pay taxes, the majority of which goes to fund imperialism in the modern world. I think we should be living in small, isolated communities, without standing armies, much like the ayahuasca-drinking aboriginals of Peru. I believe only people in such cultures can ethically procreate. Breeding in this society is the most powerful vote you can cast in favor of imperialism.
Silenus6 Bruh, you're on the internet commenting on RUclips videos. You're apart of, and influenced by this culture whether you like it or it not. Demonstrated by your assumption that you connect with black people's ancestors more than they do. I wonder what your basing that assumption on? Aside from the holier than though deflection, I agree with your outlook and respect your vision.
I'm basing my "assumption" on what I know of aboriginal or indigenous tribal ethics, in general. And, yes, I am a hypocrite, like everyone else who praises Jesus or Buddha without giving all their money to the poor or meditating several hours a day. We all make excuses. Of course, from another angle, it's pretty consistent: This culture corrupted me. That's why I'm on the internet. Never denied that. On the contrary, it's sort of my whole point. :/ Thanks for the last thing you said.
This comment is a privilege bc it's in your mind ppl dont see it right away you have to reveal it to then be treated differently, black skin is visible 24/7 and cant be covered up by assimilating
This is game changing
wow. awesome.
So being the dominant race automatically makes you the oppressor? We should take responsibility for accepting other races to live freely among us and call ourselves racist? Please someone help me out here.
Pete Ard If you would sincerely like help grasping the point of this lecture you might want to look up the work of Jaqualine Battalora. The classification of of white people as a racial group didn't exist before the 1600's and was created by elite British colonists to devide and conquer the labor class (indentured servants and slaves both black and white) by whom they were outnumbered in order to stop the possibility of another rebellion. Whites were put in positions of authority over blacks, antimesigination laws had been created (literally the first time the term white people appears in written history) specifically penalizing white people who marry outside their race, and created propoganda and pseudo science that justified the superiority of whites over black all in order to align now "white" slaves and indentured servants with their rulers and turn them against their african counterparts.
Pete Ard The point that egyptians created racial categories is interesting but totally irrelevant to anything I said. The reason the the creation of the white racial category is important here is because prior to its creation, as you demonstrated by the example of Irish slaves, they did not view, treat, or behave towards eachother as a collective. Prior to this invention who you aligned yourself with socially and politically was a matter of nationhood. Furthermore, the point about Irish slaves getting bred with blacks only serves my point further. The reason this happened is because initial antimesigination laws penalized these now white people by making the children of mixed couples slaves until they were 20 yrs old and wives of mixed marriages slaves for the duration of the husbands life. Landowners took advantage of this to increase their workforce until the laws were changed to meet their intended purpose. Furthermore, I never denied black slave ornership, why would I when it only further demonstrates that prior to the invention of white people as a racial category, blacks had all the same legal rights as any other racial group and that the creation of this category was a political tool to divide and conquer and a way to have access to more women that could produce white offspring since the there wasn't a very high male to female ratio in the colonies.
Julias Thompson I brought up the Egyptians because that was before the 1600's and the Irish slaves because it was after the 1600's. Which is why I don't believe the European elites are all to blame for the seperation of labor classes. In fact serfdom and caste systems which were pre-cursors to slave classes or original slave classes (depending on your view) were around before the Saxons nobility was a imperialist power.
Pete Ard Look, you agree that their was a vilification of race mixing, records show that mixed relationships and marriages were common. You brought up black slave owners so you know that had the same legal rights outside of slavery and indentured servitude, and, as I mentioned before, they
rebelled against the elites together, look up Bacon's rebellion. The mixed race labor class wasn't divided until the white racial category was invented through antimisegenation laws. Egypt is irrelevant to this discussion.
oaxacachaka holy shit, are you stupid or did you did you just purposely not read or understand anything I wrote so you could maintain your worldview? Nobody is in denial of world history here but you. I don't think white people are the only people who have slaughtered "others", I understand people have been killing other people for a long time. As far as this paticular instance in history is concerned ,(prior to the creation of micegenation laws) there was a time when the concept of "white" people didn't exist. Those who we now call white people had a national identity, not one based on skin color and we're in many instances treated just as badly as slaves. Races intermingled until micegenation laws were created in American colonies to stop the new category of white people from breeding with other races. Yes the Egypt shit happened but had been had irrelevant to race relations for a long time before the colonization of America. The new "white people era" was a whole other era predicated on something entirely different. As I said before, just look up bacons rebellion. Blacks and whites rebelled TOGETHER against the elites.
Thank you.
Amazing. I wonder if this lady could discover conspiracies in other countries as well, such as most weddings and people running things in China being Chinese, or most weddings and people running things in South Korea being of Korean ethnicity?
James The Patriot no.the .point. She is focused on white racism and thus whiteness. Stop deflecting. She states”all humans have prejudice”. Pay attention to the video
@suburben yobbo Yes. White Privilege is a myth, that's used to brainwash us into throwing our countries away to the Third World.
What are you trying to say? And what "conspiracy" did she discover? It sounds like you need to get your head out of your pale ass.
@@elainesabatino7467 White privilege is not a myth dumbass.
@@mariomeriweather9771 You're referring to White people as 'Pail Asses', with impunity, but my people are the alleged 'Muh Privileged Ones'? That's a laugh! Non-White Privilege is Alive and Well! Keep overplaying your hand! Low Impulse Control will be your downfall. Antiwhite Indoctrination Crumbles in the Absence of White Guilt, of which I have 'Zero'. Diversity means chasing down the last White person...
As it related to the "god is white" part. Iconography and marketing images , in any country , is generally oriented toward the majority. In countries where POC are the majority, the religious iconography matches the predominant racial group in that country. Jesus is hispanic in hispanic countries, even if there are people that aren't hispanic living in those countries. The fact that images cater to the majority is just an attempt to reach with the majority. As the population of white people in the US has become smaller, the images in marketing have diversified. The diversification in media often follows from the change in the demographics ; it is just good marketing.
this goofy woman has created a pretty good gig. she pumps guilt and then she gets paid and applauded for it. she reminds me of adam and eve or the story of sampson and delilah. she is the modern archetype described in those old but illustrative myths, which warn us of the dire peril of feminism. this woman represents the knife in the back or the betrayal from within. i don't see black or brown women betraying their sons, brothers, fathers and husbands the way these white women do. it's awful and i guess predictable. no wonder the muslims are loathe to share power with women.
You just prove her point.
John Doe she has to be able to call out wrongs without you feeling betrayed John. This system is unfair and predatory and black peoples want it to end. Totally. So we have to b honest about what’s allowing injustice to continue. Try to put yourself in the shoes of a black American. We deserve and demand equality
Islam is right about women. 😝
Truth hurts
@suburben yobbo This Antiwhite hoopla, DiAngelo's pushing is just waking more, and more of my people up to their Marxist indoctrination. I say, bring it on! These Antiwhite academics will eventually be driven out of power, and I hope I live to see that glorious day!
