My sister first saw someone who was black when she was about 5-6 in a doctors office and she asked them if that’s why they were at the doctors, the lady didn’t miss a beat and told her about the country she was born in and how it was hotter so she had “built in sunscreen” and that truly was the most wholesome straight forward conversation I’ve ever heard about race 😊
That's actually a pretty good explanation that you can give to a kid tbh
Ngl, doctor is very much right about that lol, black skin evolved to protect humans from extreme heat conditions.
@@firemangan actually even though we dont know for sure what the first skin color was its widely believed that dark skin was first as we do know that human life originated somewhere in Africa.

Always loved the little page in some Captain America comic where he sees a black woman as one of the scientist who unfroze him and he makes a comment about how a black woman was a doctor. she gets defensive and he just smiles and goes "no issue, it's just nice to see"
i like this :)
"everybody likes that"
I'm pretty sure that's from Man out of Time, he later gets time traveled into the 40s and tries talking to a black family, who get very (understandably) defensive. Man even tells their kid that he can join the dodgers at one point, only for the kid's dad to say something like "don't be puttin those ideas into his head".
I feel like cap would be more concerned about the inflation and corruption that happened while he was frozen
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BURGER FRIES AND A COKE ARE 12.87? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, BACK IN MY DAY THESE 3 TOGETHER WERE NO MORE THAN A DOLLAR
Back in his day "dollars to donuts" made sense! A dollar cost a dollar and a donut cost a nickel, now they both cost a dollar, the expression used to be a cute-ish way to say "20 to 1 odds" and 100 years from now it'll seem like it means the literal inversion, 1 to 20 odds.
Cap was picked for his strong moral character after all, he wasn’t just a 1940s dude randomly given superpowers.
That was because they were kind of forced too after seeing what happens to anyone not pure taking it like Red Skull.
You know if it worked the same on everyone they'd have put it in a loyal racist sheep dog ready to beat down anyone the government told them too no questions asked
In a universe where people can shoot moons at people, create universes, and build hyper-advanced suits of armour with entire armouries built into them, captain america's greatest super power is his tenacity and determination to fight for a better tomorrow, and that's something no supersoldier serum on earth can give you
Considering what was normal back then, they certainly could've chosen someone whose views wouldn't have aged as well.
@@bwackbeedows3629 “alright but that doesn’t mean everyone was an asshole”
@@bwackbeedows3629 Well, it was a German scientist who made the serum, I don't think he'd qualify xenophobia as being normal considering he'd be facing it everyday. So, it makes sense he'd choose Rogers.
I feel like Cap is portrayed as an open-minded and kind individual before being frozen to prevent stuff like this being implied.
He’s the son of Irish Immigrants. The Irish were kinda the Caucasian punching bag of nationalists for years
Can't judge a book by its cover
I mean it's not like everyone in the past we're awful people or racists. The civil rights movement had lots of advocators

Yeah that is a good point
I love the idea of someone in the present trying to tell someone from the 40’s how their normal way of life isn’t normal anymore, while they just go “dude, I wasn’t even a sexist or racist to begin with…”
“Alright, but that doesn’t mean everyone was an a-hole.” This quote could be paraphrased for so many situations. For instance, you have the people online who treat people badly and then try to excuse it by claiming, “It’s because I have a mental illness!” This causes people who actually are mentally ill to respond, “Having a mental illness doesn’t make you an a-hole!”
Also, can we appreciate how Solid jj understands Cap better than anyone who’s been writing the comic for the past ten or more years?
Shoutout to my "friend" who says the most disgusting, Fascist shit and says "Oh sorry I have dyslexia"
I... uhh... the fuck? Dyslexias a fucking reading and writing disorder!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I know SO MANY people who think having a mental illness gives them a free "be an asshole" pass, and love to quote "The problem with having a mental illness is people expect you to act as if you don't."
I mean, narcissism is a mental illness and it DOES make you an arsehole.
That's a misuse of the quote, I think. He only said that not everyone was an asshole; he didn't take the further (and inaccurate) step of saying that the people who _were_ assholes weren't products of their time. Everyone is a product of their time, regardless of whether they're an asshole or not. Similarly, everyone's behaviour - including bad behaviour - is a product of their mental health. Sometimes mental illness _does_ make you an asshole. There are a lot of mental illnesses out there, and they don't affect everyone the same way. Just because a specific mental illness doesn't make _everyone_ who has it an asshole, doesn't mean it's not the cause of some particular asshole's behaviour. A person isn't necessarily _lying_ when they say "It's because I have a mental illness." It's just that it's up to everyone _else_ to decide whether that makes any difference for _them,_ and whether they want to try to help address the root cause, etc.
I think I get what you mean. Mental illness can affect the personality. A lot depends on if the person uses their mental illness as an excuse to justify rude behavior or an explanation for why they might have rude behavior.

@@Hifuutorian aslume has ruined the words "lore reason"
@@burner555Aslume?
I think the actual, in-universe part of it is because Steve was born to two Irish immigrants.
Remember that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Irish-Americans weren't exactly treated the best by the Anglo-Americans who already lived here. They had to work hard in order to advance in society, much like African- and Asian-Americans who were very much repressed and downtrodden by Jim Crow and other racist policies of the era.
Steve could identify and sympathize with other racial minorities on a personal level from shared experiences.
It's also helped by the fact that Steve grew up in New York, the cultural melting pot of the world.
This is hilarious because Captain America is like "This says more about you Tony than it does about me" lmao

If Cap only knew how hard it is now to obtain a property he would have broke his shield
@Bogda Nov While I agree with your latter statement, I must disagree with the former.
Cap has always been a moral paragon, and was written as explicitly not a racist even back in the day he was created. It'd be silly to change that, because "it'd be more realistic." When in reality it would be a huge shift in personality and outlook, as well as explicitly conflict with the reason the serum did not turn him into a monster. The dude fought along side black soldiers without a comment in those old comics for example.
He might hold a bit of bitterness towards the Axis powers as well as Communists in general (While they where Allies in the latter part of the war, this was widely held as a deal with the devil, and Cap would not be a fan.)
The worst you might get on the racial front are those little slip ups that today's moral busybodies would call "micro-aggression." There are definitely some things of our era that would trip him up and make him uncomfortable, if not invoke his righteous indignation. People of different races getting along would not be one of them. (I actually think he'd be more sad to see what hasn't changed, or more commonly, the manner in which we have slipped backwards, in that regard)
He would probably be a bit of "sexist" though. At least by today's standards. Not a full on misogynist, just a bit traditional. (I would argue that doesn't count but many would.)
You know inflation did exist before the 2000s right? You couldn’t go into a grocery store in the 30s and buy a can of beans for a ha’penny like you could in the 1890s
I know this is just a funny joke video, but Captain America's words here hold true. To be a better America for the tomorrow. The future.
Kind of reminds me of the 1990 Captain America movie. There is a scene early on where a recently thawed Steve is hitchiking, gets picked up by someone driving a German car with a Japanese radio installed so Cap punches out the dude and steals the car.
In Cap's defense, that reaction to the German last name isn't because he hates Germans on a personal level, it's just the PTSD kicking in. With the mass self-censoring on German culture in the wake of anti-German sentiments during WWI and Steve's Brooklynn based childhood, Cap's only exposure to Germans was during the war. Every German he ever met was a German soldier or Nazi storm trooper trying to kill him.
Except for the doctor who gave him his powers lmao
small correction, you mean world war 2.
@@drwilyecoyote5357 and world war 1. germany was basically blamed for the worst war in world history at the time and was basically a third world nation. seeing as cap was raised during this time, he'd still have been raised with the knowledge that germany started both world wars basically
@@drwilyecoyote5357 yeah, the censoring of German culture has been in effect since World War 1 and came again during World War 2. That some German communities even went out of their way to Americanize their names to be less German sounding.
@@crazysith7809 Ah fair point, i had only considered him actually fighting in world war 2.
Being frozen in the 40s and revived in modern times is an essential part of Captain America’s origin story. But the funny thing is, he was first thawed out in 1964, barely more than 20 years after he was supposed to be frozen. To the readers at the time this would be like a soldier from the invasion of Iraq in 2003 being frozen and thawed out today.
imagine how that soldier would feel about all the marines having an existential crisis over the evac from Afghanistan, as essentially everything they fought for was all for naught.
To be fair, a lot has changed since then
So... very different?
If we go by consoles it would be the PS2 to PS5
@@liamzakhaev Well, Vietnam happened in 1964. And captain America was thawed out in 1964.
Do you think Cap would react badly to the words moron, idiot, and imbecile because in his time those terms where used by eugenicists to describe people who were mentally disabled or otherwise deemed to be undesirable by society, and considering all of Steve's health problems he was probably also considered to be an undesirable by eugenicists and so he would have felt even more empathy for the people labeled as such?

@@redskared8093 yeah if you've got a strong sense of morality like steve is portrayed to have, even a taste of prejudice would push you in the right direction if empathy didnt do it first
@@redskared8093 There was anti Catholic and Irish sentiment into the 1960s. John Kennedy faced near constant accusations of being a "puppet of the Vatican" during his election campaign.
More than any other Avenger, before all the superhero nonsense, he really was just some dude. A scrawny, weak dude with a heart of gold. He could relate a lot more with average people than someone like Iron Man or Hulk ever could.
Minorities arent pushed around by anyone today
This is brilliant and that final line made me loose it! Thank you.
to be fair
he did come from the 40's so that reaction to Max is understandable
As a descendant of German immigrants to the US in the mid 1930s, I can definitely say that my great grandparents experienced hatred against Germans. During the war my grandfather was just a little boy when he was playing outside and called a Nazi
EDIT: Wow thank you everyone, 4k likes! Just to clarify, I have not directly experienced these things myself, but my grandparents and great-grandparents unfortunately most certainly have. Thank you all for your sympathy and kind words
Oh my God!! You poor soul.
Sulistas no Brasil aí
Sorry to hear that. Hope you don't have to experience such things today. Greetings from a fellow German
Now people use the word Nazi to the people they dislike (Mostly Americans)
So sad those things happened but then again with what we discovered germany did I can't blame people for seeing red and just hating us. (I'm 75% German btw)
Cap gives an important lesson. Never assume people of the past were all regressive intolerant people. Some were wiser than most people today.
Yeah, racism would’ve never been decreased if everyone was racist
Most were and still are racist though. Sheep who can't think for themselves
some...
@@emblemblade9245 I have a black friend
I like the whole speech about Captain America because it’s always how I interpreted Boy Scouts like Cal and Superman when they talk about America. It’s not that they’re reflective of what America is they are a reflection of what it stands to be. People are almost addicted to hatred that the simple concepts that not everyone gets. People don’t get that not everyone in a certain time period was a certain way and that “The American way” isn’t the same as “The America now” but doesn’t make it less valid.
Iron Man knows what's up
Captain America going to a McDonald's: WHY IS THIS BURGER 10 ENTIRE DOLLARS?!?!
Glad to see someone acknowledging that not everyone from the 40's was racist. My grandpa fought near the end of WWII, and from the stories I've heard from my dad, he was the most anti-racist person you would have ever met.
@A Mothman with a phone where?
@@roboticartist2793 Probably that “anti” there which he believes shouldn’t be there.
My grandfather was born in the Deep South and raised in the South (I don’t think OK counts as “deep”), and has been very socially progressive his whole life, especially in racial matters.
Ironically at least half of that is because of what he saw growing up-he knows how insidious bigotry can be, and how much bigotry there was to fight, and isn’t delusioned by thinking it all magically got better overnight.
@@magiccarpetmadeofsteel4564
Racism isn’t a serious issue in this country let’s be real though
Most people in the 1940s weren’t actually racist
"What do you mean, you come from the 40s"
"Alright but that doesn't mean everyone was an asshole"
That's a fair point Cap
Very fair point
If being "asshole" was the norm back then, then is it really being an asshole? The average Joe, since the majority were white, would probably not think much of it.
Wish we had the humility to see morals change.
When you put it like that...
@Bogda Nov They were racists, they ware sexists, they were anti-semites ... and some of them were good people 😼
That's just how we see our ancestors. They were all stupid and morally inferior to us. Demonstrates how highly we think of ourselves, ignorant to the fact that out descendants will think the same of us. Stones and glass houses.
I love the way Cap says German
It’s like how Mermaid Man always said “Evil” every a villain was around
I have to say these short videos are downright *crispy*
I always love the plot
I remember there was a Cyanide and Happiness webcomic that said Steve Rogers would abuse women, and I just rolled my eyes.
While this isn't Steve Rogers, the first Superman issue literally had Clark beat up an abusive husband.
Bluebeard is a folktale about how messed up somebody who killed their spouse would have to be.
People have always hated domestic abusers.
dying at this considering the knowledge that Steve Rogers literally grew up in an abusive home where his dad beat his mom and her protection of him and refusal to back down was a huge part of why he became who he was as an adult
granted that comic wasn't super early I don't think but like. jeez.
didnt his dad beat his mom or something? and didnt his mom protect him from his dad?? (or is my memory clogged.)
even if thats NOT his canon backstory, and its the one where his dad dies from war, his mom still took care of him and sacrificed alot for him, never backing down hence forming his fighting spirit.
he would never beat women,
@@pixigirldust yeah you are correct
He would be slightly misogynistic at best, considering the era he grew up in. But poor women, esp poor single mothers, have always needed to be more than wives and mothers, since time immortal. Being a "housewife" was a privilege (I say this with a pinch of salt) of the middle/upper classes, because they didn't NEED to earn their living. Also, women were being nurses and mechanics and drivers during WW2 since men had to go and fight, so women being a breadwinner or doing a "man's" job, is probably normal for him.
@@Furrina89 My grandmother was a ww2 nurse, and my grandfather was a ww2 soldier. So I'm also basing this knowledge off of accounts I heard (my grandfather died before I was born)
You’ve managed to subvert my expectations in a clever manner while still respecting my intelligence. Bravo!

I mean, to be fair, Cap was a poor kid in Brooklyn. I'm not pretending there wasn't a lot of racism in that area at that time, but New York was a cultural melting pot.
Ellis island was the central point of immigration into America from 1892-1943. Cap would have grown up in the most diverse area that America had to offer at the time.
I absolutely think when he woke up he probably needed a list of words he wasn't allowed to say anymore just cause they were so common place in the 40s that the level of insult they carry today isn't something Cap would have been cognizant of, but I think he had enough general exposure to people from all walks of life that he wouldn't have been brought up with more than ambient prejudices.
Honestly, Cap is more likely to be racist against Germans than he is black people.
I expected the kid at the end to be Irish and to get the Irish treatment.
@@WisdomThumbs Is it because he’s ginger?
@@Barakon No, it's because he's Catholic. /s
even then, he was completely cool with dr ercstine.
"list of words you aren't allowed to say" what a stupid load of bullshit
My grandfather fought in WWII in the Pacific. When I knew him, as a child and young adult, he was the sweetest, gentlest old man I ever knew. He was fairly progressive for his generation: he had lots of black friends and didn't care that my uncle (his nephew) was gay. But he hated anything Japanese until his death. He quit talking to his brother once, for a year, because his brother bought a Toyota.
i mean Toyota sucks
must have seen/heard some messed up shit,
The Japanese made the German look merciful
I hate it when people think the minority represents the majority. Your father wasn't "progressive", he was just culturally rebellious.
So back then he was considered based
I loved the inflection on Schneider, honestly didn’t even need the part spelling out that it was German you could just tell how much he didn’t like hearing it lol, could’ve jumped straight to the jumping
Funny thing is Cap is probably the purest of the Avengers. He does not see someone for the color of their skin or their gender. He sees them for what they do, and what they believe. It’s probably been said by somebody…
But I really wish more people in power had the mindset Cap has. One of equality.
As long as you aren’t German. (Jk.)
"that bit about women came straight from the heart"
I honestly don't know why, but that part has me laughing metaphorical tears lol.
I like that Captain America was always meant to be a representation of what America should be instead of a representation of what America currently is. Hell, Cap’ was fighting nazis in the comics before America even joined the war. Captain America truly is the embodiment of the American Dream.
aka a fantasy BS utopia.
Nowadays they should make Comics about Cap securing our border or fighting NATO but unfortunately marvel is not based enough
@@bjehulk Captain America would be fighting our current government if he were real seeing how America is very quickly nose diving into fascism and taking away basic human rights.
@@sweetbusiness9798
Our government isn’t leaning towards fascism, but other than that you’re correct. Our government is a disgrace to our country and has plunged our society into degeneracy. We no longer are the beautiful nation we used to stand for.
@@bjehulk Our government very much is, the republican party meets all 10 requirements for fascism and the democrat party is doing nothing about it other than “sending prayers”. AFAB people are loosing their rights, trans people are at stage 8 out of the 10 stages of genocide, segregation is going to come back, and gun control laws are still laid back even when we are having more and more mass shootings every single day. If you would like I can gladly show you exactly all the 10 requirements for fascism and how America meets all of them. I can even give examples for each stage trans people are on the 10 stages of genocide. America is literally copying Nazi Germany and so many people can’t even see that because we’re all brain washed into “American Pride” and “The Land of The Free”.
Equality is apart of the American dream is the best typo
I love how the conversation just takes a left turn and spirals downward from there.
I like that you went the route everyone assumed Cap was racist as opposed to him actually being racist. The latter concept is too easy of a joke to make and is only really applicable to the Ultimate version of the character
Honestly, Miles was the only good thing to come out of the ultimate universe. They made Hulk a masochist incel, and deadpool racist towards mutants
Yeah, I feel like the 'this letter on my head' bit really hammers home how this is a gag directly at Ultimate Cap
@@iguanaboi3921 yeah, I read The Ultimates because Ultimate Spiderman was pretty neat, and _God_ was that a terrible book. I hated _every single panel_ of it... Except maybe anything with Thor, he's kinda just chill there.
ultiamtes kind of screwed up every character didnt they? still not forgiving what they did to nightcrawler. kind, loving, non-kill, religious character? nah lets make him a psychotic homophobe. i lack enough middle fingers.
@@iguanaboi3921 i liked the ultimate universe but yea some parts are abit cringe
The funny thing is I can totally believe Iron man was sexist before believing Captain America was racist
(Edit): holy hell!!! I did not expect this to get so many likes!! Thank uuuu
Yeah, I love Tony but that makes way too much sense.
Exactly 😂
Especially considering their drastically different upbringings. Steve Rogers as a poor kid, born to immigrant parents, in Brooklyn, which was one of the most culturally and racially diverse places in the country at the time. Meanwhile, Tony Stark is a trust fund billionaire who inherited a massive weapons manufacturing empire from an absentee father.
Not only that, but depending on the era, his weapons were being used in the invasion of either Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan, which were unjust wars waged for selfish and xenophobic reasons. Captain America fought in one of the rare and last just wars the U.S. was involved in - though there was still a ton of violent racism at the hands of U.S. soldiers, especially in regards to the slaughter and mass rapes of Japanese civilians after we'd cleared out their military occupation (not unlike how we would go on to treat Vietnamese, Iraqi, and Afghan civilians), but the point of Cap is that he didn't go in, wanting to kill anyone; he genuinely cared about doing the right thing, which, again, comes from his upbringing. Tony Stark only really grew a heart when his arms dealing backfired and impacted him directly.
You mean Iron Man is based*
@@bjehulk Alaway wanted to know what based was.... thank you.
"Yes, exactly! The telev-'

I can imagine Steve screaming in his head "goddamnit these people still exist"
I love how the butt of the joke _is_ Iron Man, subverting audience's expectations as we were given by the title of the video and simple reasoning.
The simplicty of these jokes is where their brillance lies, no sense of quirkness or randomness, no hardcore edginess, just a good joke with a setup and punchline. I love this channel.
Why don't you just say nigg@ instead of N word?
Literally the best comedy I’ve seen on this platform in a while
"the butt of the joke"
I don't think you know what that means..
Are you from the Future? Here in 2022 that Word is still being used Left and Right.
@@timewarpdrive77 I mean, iron man IS the butt of the joke, so he's close.
It’s funny how true this was- my grandpa ran a grocery store, and he would supposedly regularly help his poorer black customers by giving them credit for food when needed, and my Dad grew up hanging out with the black kids in his neighborhood (this was in the 40’s-60’s no less).
And being that my Dad went to a traditionally all black college and his best friend in the Army was black- it didn’t sound like he ever really had any huge problems with white on black racism when he grew up(though he was originally quite poor, so he probably had that to worry about), but apparently my Grandpa had a distrust/dislike of German things(as the war had just happened), and he had apparently had an old Luger pistol that he sold because of his dislike of German stuff… which is sad to hear: as Luger pistols go for a pretty penny these days, and I’d’ve loved to have owned one… oh well! C’est la vie. :/
Today, we’re exactly the same with Chinese and Russian stuff. That’s not racism, that’s war. That’s why the British hate the French and why Greeks hate Turks. Race isn’t really a factor
Your gramps sounds pretty cool
@@leonrobinson8180But xenophobic and ignorant for thinking America is fighting the good fight when America has kiled more people in one war than naasiz did during WW2, and their cause to join WW2 was to fight for their overlord small hats like good little gooys. And if you hear the accounts of black athletes from the olympic games they tell you than naziGermany treated much better than America ever did. Even way after the 30's in the 60's Muhammad Ali had won gold for America only to be treated like dirt in his own hometown.
Just remember it was for the best, that he most likely sold it because he didn't like to think the thoughts that came into his head when he looked at it, and I'm sure it still wasn't an easy choice.
It's not uncommon for this to happen when veterans get older, sometimes trophies just start to feel like painful reminders instead. There is no reliving the "glory days" for men who took part in this stuff, there's only moving on from it.
When Cap said "Well, that'd be swell", I thought Iron Man was gonna say "Okay, so that's the first thing: No one says 'swell' anymore."
"Equality is _apart_ of the American dream."
And they said spelling wouldn't matter.
Lmao
Technically, that’s a grammatical error since the issue lies in the spacing of the letters and not the spelling of the word. “A part” would have applied perfectly but the lack of space made it the wrong word for the context as opposed to an incorrect letter.
God I’m so sad.
@@lucasbell4831 Thanks for explaining the joke that everyone got 👍
@@iv689 the spelling vs grammatical error thing isnt part of the joke...

The way he screams "GERMAN.?!" I'm crying for this.
We often forget that being from "x" year doesn't mean your values are automatically "backward" compared to now
Ideas don't come from nowhere
We wouldn't have the rights/ideals we have nowadays if people in the past hadn't fought for and promulgated those ideas first
Yeah, people from the past were no more monolithic in their beliefs than people are now
I can guarantee there will be a generation that will believe abortion is murder and that today's America is an atrocity and backwards. We'll almost always see the past as barbaric.
I don't know man, it's a pretty safe assumption that most white people were racist back then. I mean, segregation wasn't started by anyone else.
Yeah, the way some people characterise people from the past, you'd think interracial relationships were a recent thing or something.
