Honestly as a black man, the concept of racism really shocks me let alone combating racism with more racism. We can just respect one another regardless of color. Racism or discrimination of any kind is just down right wrong and just disgraceful. Lord help us
Exactly. Unfortunately it’s a basic human characteristic to seek power and then misuse it. I’m thinking of the Stanford Prison Experiment. People coming into power now should use foresight and knowledge of historical precedence to guide their actions, but that’s not the attitude, it seems. No one is practicing caution or using generosity of spirit- because the don’t HAVE to. The world’s not holding them accountable which is why they can be cruel, they know there are (presently) no consequences they will face. Society letting them get away with this behavior is not good for anybody- there need to be boundaries if we want to produce mature people with noble spirits.
In Germany they Fight the discrimination of women by openly discriminating against men.... And they get away with it. If you Dare to say this openly you are canceled.
Thank you for these wise words. I’m a white man, but living in Europe. And I actually have many friends who are Jewish, Black and Asian. Never ever did I think these friends were any different from me. I do think it’s a problem in the states, where segregation was a thing to relatively short time ago. We need to shake eachother’s hand and live together
You sound stupid as hell, black ppl cannot be racist. Krakkkas brought this on themselves. We not getting over what happened until we have EVERYTHING back that was taken. Until then I'm krakkkak4L
"Racism with racism?" I think you still have the misguided idea that the majority of white people are racist. WRONG. Grace of God white supremacists are still the minority. So how about fighting the urge to assume what misguided individuals perpetuate as fact.
I’ve been quiet about it for YEARS as a black man and was shamed for thinking like it when I DID speak up. Thank you for not letting me think I’m crazy😂
As an average white male, I'm normally terrified to even comment one way or another on subjects like this. All I can say about your video is, thank you.
@@mafoombeh1085 I don't believe that's the case. It's not that I'm asking permission to speak, it's that when I do speak, no matter what I say, the only response is alienation from those that are not afraid to put others down. After a while you just give up trying. And after it continues, even with topics that have absolutely nothing to do with what one side or another is ranting about, then it feels targeted and personal. And yet, without being able to talk to people openly, it causes us to retreat inward and isolate ourselves, which in turn leads to depression.
Don’t be. Please believe me I am white and I will (and do) use the N word freely if someone (likely the left) is racist towards me. Not what I like to do but I am literally given no choice to defend myself. I don’t see why every white person should take constant abuse from the media, social media and public. This is a free world, and you don’t lay down while someone is kicking you. Toughen up and speak freely. Because if you don’t, they will for you. This isn’t what we should be doing, I agree. But if the left want to talk about race…let’s talk about race.
@@davidstowe7880 So are you afraid of words from the scum-iest part of the society? Because fighting leftards arguments is the easiest thing in the world, as 99% of it is based on their "feelings" (narratives, prejudices, ignorance) and not actual fact. And you can always tell them to go suck a dick and stop being dishonest.
@@mafoombeh1085that’s such a weird ass thing to say and I can bet any amount of money you wouldn’t walk up to somebody and say that in real life. Because it sounds insane. You sound insane.
@@mafoombeh1085it's more the thing that when a white skin DARES to say anything, that person would be canceled by the whole internet right away - often enough by whiter whites too. If it happens often enough, you start to be silent. And sometimes, you then become a racist. But that happened because the others pushed you i to beeing one.
I'm white and have been in a mixed marriage for 30 years. For the first 20 years or so of our marriage, nobody of any race ever gave us a hard time, but in the past decade, it's gotten worse and worse every year. People call my wife a race traitor in her place of business, and her boss, who is white, is so scared of retribution that she refuses to do anything about it. My kids are teased in school because they are half white; my daughter came home in tears one day because some of her friends told her they were so sorry for her that she had to live with a white father. It's insane, and it's only getting worse. I pray that more people like yourself and the young man in the video can prevail and help bring us back to reality. You are both eloquent speakers, so maybe your message can reach some of these young, impressionable minds.
I'm blk and my family have so many shades and I have so many ethnicities, just like most Americans I would think. I hear blk ppl say they could never date anyone of another color because they wouldn't understand the blk experience. which is crazy because I believe it's a community based upon who's around you and it's American culture with classes, and ppl will be more related In similar areas probably but that does not have anything to do with color. Ppl are just racist today bro, and it's sad that I'm hearing you can't date outside your race now (which has been happening forever; my great grandma was born in 1922 and her parents was yt and native American) also everyone is being tribal over color. I wish one day we could just say Americans only without color. SMH
I'm white & my bf is black. My son looks more like brown & has really thick hair. Basically takes after his dad more than me. Which is fine. But one day when he was younger he asked me what race does he date. Black or white. I told him it doesn't matter what race they are as long as they have a good heart. He also told my friend who noticed he was wearing a black & white sock that he isnt racist. If his parents are black & white then so can his socks. Mind you he was like 5 y/o.
Don't worry about the outside world bro. They will find anything to complain about. Today one thing tomorrow another. Just live happily with your wonderful family.
"You are not an oppressor for refusing to accept an ideology that teaches people to hate you." This man is brilliant. In every age it takes one person to stand up and say something is wrong. And here he is
@Chronorust sorry, I refused to respect or take anything that Chenks nephew aka hasan the grifter or his fans say seriously. It’s nearly impossible to do, that man is such a hypocrite.
White will never go below the hierarchy especially the hierarchy of Mexicans and blacks whites will always be overachievers especially more so than blacks and Mexican counter. Parts Asians they're just better than us they've got they were raise better than us. They have higher achievements they wanna reach. But in a high RK you're talking about you better believe whiter at the top.

@@georgewindsor2667you don't have to necessarily hold hatred. There are other, probably more appropriate, emotions you could hold instead for good, non-racist, reasons.
@georgewindsor2667 They're quoting the Bible where Jesus says that if you hate someone then you have committed murder in your heart, meaning in God's Eyes you would be on the same level as a murderer, so there is no such thing as a good reason to hate someone, even someone who has terribly wronged you, it is better to forgive.
It isnt,black americans in 2024 deserve the hate,its not about race its about behaviour..so yeah keep your lowkey racism to yourself,at least have the balls to be honest
I am half black and half white and I am so glad you are speaking out about this. I call this out all the time among coworkers and friends. Racism is racism no matter which race is the target. Nobody is born racist...makes me sick to see this in our culture.
@@mattfm101 Of course. At that age they can distinguish difference in all things from the different food that they like or don't like, different people, etc. They cannot, however, feel hate. That is a learned behavior for a much older child.
@@lauradenton6985 Hate and love can't be taught and can't be forced, it only comes from experience. I was taught to love but life experience showed me that we have invited very dangerous people into my homeland and equality is an ideal, not reality.
I just wish most people would live by the simple golden rule: 'Treat others the way you want to be treated.' That has been hammered in my brain since I was little.
Treat everyone around you with a certain death lest they respect you. That's the founding principle of any nation upon this god damned earth of ours. Peace is truly the worst thing that people can live through, what the West needs, is to have bombs rain down from the skies, bullets whining in the wind, the air turned into mustard gas and the water turned into acid. Lemme see how long people have the time for these ridiculous ideas when we shove these good-for-nothings into the frontlines against their wills. Lemme see how long their psyches will last when they'll have to scramble for food. I bring not peace but war, I am not the savior but the sword which shall best you all, only through death is there mercy, and only through death is there peace. Rest your heart against my blade, and rest thy neck against the block lest the chop be painful and plenty. Oh ye merry men, privileged like few before thy times, may God grant you mercy but my blade will not. The blade that falters is the sign of weakness, men, women, children, shall be felled alike, like lambs to the slaughter, the streets and fields be dyed red. And as Jesus said... Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
I'm African-American and I have faced so much racism (mostly in high school) because the color of my skin was NOT as dark as the majority of African Americans. Even among my siblings, I obviously have the whiter skin. I got called things like "cracker", "half-breed" (that one insinuating that being white was the worst thing you could be), "Albino" I even got called the n word but with a w to represent being white and many, many more racist comments. All those terms and words came from POC. I hated who I saw in the mirror because of the color of my skin. So yeah, there is something against white people, and we need to change this and be respectful regardless of what color we see. Don't base your judgements on me because I have pale skin, base it because of my actions and how I treat other people.
U are a beautiful person with a beautiful skin color and personality. Do not let those ppl define who u are bc the only thing THEY notice is skin color. Thats all they care about. 🫂🫂🫂
I am an African and I am sick and tired of this new culture of cancelling whites. I am tired especially of blacks who don’t want to take responsibility and accountability for their actions and rather want to blame everything on whites. White privilege etc, I am just sick of it! Let us treat each other right irrespective of race, judge based on how someone thinks and not the colour of their skin. It’s just crazy how much we love seeing colour. People think it’s being woke and progressive. Let’s call it what it is, it’s stupid.
I remember someone once telling me that white people don't know what it's like to be oppressed. And then I was like, really? I'm from Poland, and people from my country lived under partition for 123 years. Members of my family were also in concentration camps (where many Slavic people were sent because they were considered an inferior race); my grandmothers were sent to Germany for FORCED labour, and for decades the use of the Polish language was banned. They lived under German occupation for 6 years and then 44 years under Russian occupation. Isn't that enough?
As a Filipino who were colonized by the Spaniards for 333 years, Americans by 48 years and Japan for 3 years, we really don't have any hate against those countries and their people. It's very very VERY simple. The people who are living there today, aren't the same people who colonized us during that time. So, as a race who were oppressed most of our history, I am still confused what are the blacks fighting for up to this day. If they don't like being in America and the whites, why are they still living there? Do they not know that ships and airplanes were now discovered and can be used to go back to their original root country if they are so concerned about history that it affects their daily lives?
Seriously. Americans really like explaining to us why we should feel guilty for their problems when most of European countries were also occupied by the big ones. Poland being exhibit A. I'm Slovene and my grandparents were alive during world war 2 and the only reason they survived was their parents wariness and luck. How do you explain having had to walk past a nazi or a fascist execution wall every day to school to people who havent ever seen war or it's consequences? It gets frustrating.
I remember one time i was explaining how i was beaten almost to death just for being white in a black neighborhood. The responses I received were basically telling me to quit whining or that it was retribution or that it's not the same because it doesn't happen as often. Well no matter how common it is, the concussion, two black eyes, broke nose, and fractured skull i received were very real and only happened due to racism that isn't allowed to be acknowledged. Thanks for giving people like me a voice when we feel like we aren't allowed to have one.
I’m sure they were protecting their children. You know white people shoot black people for just existing or walking in their neighborhood. We have to be more offensive against whit people so we don’t die. Black Lives Matter.
Thank you! As a global minority (white) I appreciate you bringing attention to this. Remember WHITE people fought to free the slaves and voted to ensure equal rights! The elites want to divide the nation so they can conquer and enslave us all. Unity is the only way. Love one another as you love yourself. I love ALL even when I’m treated as an oppressor, which I’m not! I teach my children to love and treat all people based on their character and not skin color. We gotta grow up and let go of the past. Whites were enslaved in the 1800’s by North Africans, we’ve all been through tragedies. Let us learn and GROW!!
Someone told me once that I was racist simply because I was white. I just looked at them and said, “No”. They tried to argue with me about it. I just kept looking at them and said, “Yeah, that’s dumb” and walked away. I know who I am and refuse to let somebody else tell me that I’m something I’m not.
I love how folks who say that ("You are racist because you are white") don't themselves realise the irony in their statement. They are making a judgement and statement about a person based SOLELY on their race/ethnicity. That is, after all, the very definition of racism...
In truth we are all racist... whether or not to the extent where we ARE racists is different. Just like you could catch me being a hypocrite in a hard situation but as a whole person you wouldn’t call me a Hypocrite.
@@interestedbystander196it's pre-judging a person based on race ie prejudice. If only these people more intelligent or less batshit insane they might see it.
I'm originally from Eastern Europe and when I was in my early teens my family and I moved to the U.S. for two years. I was shocked and confused by all the labels that were suddenly put on me just because I'm white. Dancing can't be my hobby because white people can't dance, I probably don't like my food seasoned, I don't have a culture because I'm white, and I was given really bizzare nicknames like "white bread". The culture shock was massive for me, and I felt so hurt that suddenly I had to fit into this box. I've lived in several other European countries since, and I've never felt like my race is a factor as much as I did back then. The U.S. is just so obsessed with skin color.
I agree. And I also hate that idea that 'white' is culture negative, like we have no traditions, cultures, clothing. flags, histories etc...just nothing...
I saw this mad American racist talking at Oxford Uni UK and berating the students about it being "national indigenous day"... To a room full of predominantly indigenous Anglo-Saxons. 🤦🏼♀️ She never realized she was insulting every brown face in the room as foreign colonists 😂 So. Dumb.
Believe me, its going to be just as bad in Europe. You just have a smaller number of POC. Although London n ow looks like the Middle East, and they do seem to hate actual British people.
That’s right 😤 and it pisses me off. Like the guy, I also grew up in the 90s & 2000s and NOBODY talk like that, no adult nor child had ethnicities or color in their mindset. I’m white & Hispanic and I never got treated differently until I became an adult and started getting labels bcuz many hispanic people thought I was gonna be on “their level” bcuz of their assumptions on me. I grew up with mainly white American and they were ALWAYS the nicest most kindest people I’ve met, and even now, I could never disrespect white Americans.
You're right, it is obsessed. At least in some areas. The idea makes money. For a long time, the push for equal opportunities and not seeing color made money, but then it was successful. It had to be turned around to being important to see color to continue making money. Doing that is abhorrent.
I'm white and native American (Pawnee) and was adopted into a black family. Momma didn't do racism, so we don't do racism. We are all greater for our experiences as a family.
We didn’t do racism in our family either and I have brought my children up to love all people. I can’t understand what makes some people hate another just because they are a different race or skin colour. It makes no sense. We are all one race … the human race. Love to you from Western Australia ❤️
I was raised in a strong Christian family and we all know that God created us and we are to love God and to love our neighbor as ourself. Color doesn’t come in to play.
hope you could discover a bit from all the cultures. I'm french and I'm sad to see the US not remembering it's whole culture. its whole bad time is a part of it, and all the people that immigrated were also a part of it... NYC not the big apple for nothing. here in France, we practiced slavery till 1794....Haiti (dominican islands) said no and fought for freedom... we said ok, we stop slavery... all other colonies of course freed.. Then Napoleon came into power ... : Eventually, slavery was not that bad ! and bam slavery again, ....tho Haiti remained independant. Had to wait till 1848 and the 3rd revolution to definitely ban slavery.... in our country. Over the world, slavery still keep up in many countries (and is not a matter of color).
@@teresahaugen3974 moreover as Jesus was jew, was only creating his sect. (nazis tried to blame christians as of jews...but not lasted long as christians were loving antijews laws) those religions make me puke.
Unimaginable? Hardly. One only needs to look at the actions of narcissists, high-functioning sociopaths, dictators, domestic abusers, serial killers, the Truly Desperate, and just a brief non-liberal look at history to see what kind of atrocities you're capable of with no moral compass.
Hello! South African white guy here who just wants to share something I was taught in school: we all have the right to be treated equally, but this means we ALL have the responsibility to treat others with respect and equality. No person is better or worse than any other. Thank you for appearing in my feed! Love this video, thanks!
Stop hating black people. Why did your ancestors leave you in Africa. You guys still did racist stuff, get out of Africa it’s black continent not white.
I disagree on "No person is better or worse than any other. " It's actually the opposite. Everyone is better or worse than the others. We cannot be equal unless we are robots with the same motherboard. But it doesn't mean you should feel superior than another because there's always better than you. Deal with it.
I was genuinely raised to be color blind. Not in a deliberate way just in a human way. My parents were kind decent people who treated people based on their character. I spent 9 years in Africa and count many many of the people I met there as my closest friends. I’m tired of this insanity. Most of these people have no idea about history and honestly, not people I would want in my circle of friends as they are horrible human beings
Good for you for exposing what I've been feeling for some time now. And the fact that you are a black woman pointing this out means alot to me. Thank you.
Throw some of that hatred at me and I will most definitely do something about it. Ended a professor's career out of it when she, a black female activist posing as a professor, told her whole class that none of us would understand anything she was teaching because we're all white. Firstly, that was a racist and ignorant thing to say, and secondly, it wasn't true. There were many different ethnicities in the room. I, being Cherokee, took massive offense to her comment and walked right out of her room and to the department head. I finished the semester, she did not.
@@eduardopena5893 yeah, so a dopey tutor. We call them tutors in Australia. I had a history tutor that hated Australia so much he wrote a book about it. 'Dinkum diggers'. Sheitting on him for the semester was glorious. Most professors and tutors, especially in humanities faculties, have spent so long entertaining the stupid ideas that come up in advanced academia, they start to believe them.
I am a white man and this video got me crying. I spent many years of my life fighting oppression, learning about sexism, racism, speciesism, going to protests, participating in direct action, fighting for a better world, always trying my best to become the best person I can be. Yet I still heard people within the activist movement saying things like "all men deserve to be torn down because of what women had to go through", "now it's time for revenge", "we are building up an army now", "and even though I can't say that I have been discriminated against or anything like that because of being white, as I live in a predominantly white, European country, I have seen so many things online that just scared the living shit out of me. Things that should happen to me for what supposedly my ancestors did, etc. This is not an age of equality. It is an age of retribution. Thank you so much for this video, we are all one. Pure energy. Regardless of what the body that we borrowed for these few years looks like.
One of the best lessons I've ever learned in my life is that the approval of those who can never be pleased isn't worth seeking. This also means the sharp words of such people aren't worth listening to. I know the words of such people can ruin someone's employment and life, but I'm referring to this on a personal level. I'm an absolute people-pleaser by nature. I consider this to be way more of a flaw than a good thing because of how it makes me more likely to be targeted by people like the ones in those tiktoks where anything I do can never be good enough but needing to be good enough to keep them from burdening me. I still have a problem with it, but I've come a long way as you have and I hope you also continue to do well with recovering from this bs.
Maybe we shouldn't support them. This is no longer about fairness - but about power. Power aimed against us (essentially). Worse: also in European countries (and I am from one as well). I am done supporting these people.
As a 64-year old white British male, I am absolutely impressed and astounded by the common sense displayed by this young lady. You are doing an extraordinary job in deciphering all this nonsense. Please continue to tell it how it is. Heartfelt thanks.
I echo your sentiments 100% - This is an outstanding video and this young lady is going to go a long way in life and so is Charlie Cheon. It's so refreshing to see the current bulls**t being called out! I am a middle aged white male (the worst of the worst) and I have many fears for my son in this world of racist white hatred. Hopefully videos like this will start to bring some sensibility to the world. We can do better and we should. Many many thanks Amala for bringing this video to more peoples attention. You are doing a FANTASTIC job.
As an old white man who has ALWAYS supported equal rights and stood up for minority people, I'd like to thank you for this video. It is amazing young people like you who will ultimately someday put an end to the ignorance and mistakes of both the past and present. God bless you.
Racism is wrong on every level no matter which race is being racist, i'm white and yes there are black people that I don't like but I don't like them because of who they are and what their attitude is, some people believe that this is racist, how can it be so when there are many white people that I don't like for the exact same reason. I have always looked strait through colour and to be honest don't even notice what colour people are, they are just people but I hate that some think I shouldn't have the right to dislike a black idiot but It's okay to dislike a white idiot.
I had a woman yell at me because when her son saw me limping onto a train he offered me his seat. I watched a polite young man shrink into himself because he thought he was in trouble for not seeing a white woman but just a person in need and wanting to help. I couldn't say anything to her. Fortunately, there was an older black man who told his mother off and praised him for being a good person. Hopefully, that man had more of an impact than mom. More likely he didn't.
Thank God for people like that child and kind man indeed. ❤ That poor child has a long road ahead with a racist mother like that, it's cruel to her son to have this hate (and probably fear) pushed onto him. But if you can simply show you're greatful without coming off combative to the mom, and with the help of people in that boys community that's what will help him understand his mother is twisted. Hopefully there aren't many more in his life like her . That's part of the problem...this is a sort of mass psychosis with the combo of public school indocerination and social media and unregulated racist mainstream media...his mom is unfortunately "validated" by people that want to perpetuate racism.
That idiot mother was teaching her son hatred, very wrong.She was living through him. Too chicken shit to directly show her hatred. If he learns from her rather than the older gentleman, he will destroy his future.
@@JS-ys2uk well, that's just your opinion. While I do understand your opinion, I also believe that it's no one's place to step in and comment on how a parent decides to parent, as despicable as it may be. So as much as I disagree with the woman's views, it's her decision to pass these views onto her son, and I would not say anything to her if I were in that position. Then there's also the fact that I'd be terrified that she'd try to fight me. With that much anger, who knows what she might do.
Why is segregation rasict? It’s a known fact that we develop through nature and nurture, and what we are exposed to tend to shape our culture. If there is no segregation, then eventually there will only be one acceptable culture. Is that not racist in itself? It’s basically not being ok with other people wanting or enjoying their own cultural groups and differences. Grew up being afraid to date a white person as a white person in fear of judgment. That’s what it’s come down to, true anti segregation. We should just celebrate eachother and be fine with the other existing, we should be able to make our own rules and policies for our own people and what they value and want. Oh wait, isn’t that why countries exist? Mexico was once just a diverse population from all over, they are now Mexican and proud of it. That’s what happens with no segregation. You become your new country people. Thing is, no one here wants to do that. They cherish their ancestral roots, despite the complex of victimhood it brings. Technically comes with benefits in the current political climate. Anti segregation does not make sense with anti racism, it breeds racism during its process until it becomes a unified one, which will never happen with constant immigration. We all suffer for it.
I was bullied and harrassed out of a job by people on working visas - and I explained to my boss how they were being racist at times to me and was told “white racism doesn’t exist”
I mean you could have said you were Jewish anti-Semitism seems to have a lot of pull I think what it really breaks down to his the working-class is tired of hearing about are bullied over their skin color just because ignorant degenerate said mean words and made poor assumptions about you isn't really comparable to gettin hung on posts like a piece of strange fruit 🤷
Most of my jobs I had a black manager. Every single one of them gave me nasty nicknames and used me to cover up the mistakes or improper behavior from their black employees. I have been called cracker, nazi, gypsy and whitey. I had one black coworker say to me, "when I become the new manager, I will never have white people in my school" My reply was, " No worries I can fix that". I called HR and transferred to another school.
It's sad that it has to be said by an asian man and a black woman for it to be heard. I feel like if it was a white person standing up for themselves, they'd be shamed into silence. I really appreciate you both for talking about this. And I hope that people can still turn around and be kind to every person regardless of their color.
Elephant in the room tbh. The video is great, his commentary is on-point, and its words everyone needs to hear, but let's not forget that the only reason why it A) went viral to begin with, and B) is leading to positive discussion between different ethnic groups about race, is *because* it's an Asian (aka non-white) person saying this, and not a white person. If this same video was made by some white guy in his early 20s, he'd be hooted and hollered off social media as a white-supremacist Incel full of white-fragility and toxic masculinity. And anyone who denies that, is a fool.
White isnt a thing, your either proud to be Italian, French, Swedish etc. They speak different languages with different cultures. You call them white in USA because you want to erase their unique cultures to Americanized them into a color.
@@WiseFidelista white is a ethnicity, so is black. Both of them are just a mix of different Europeans or Africans. They are so far removed from their own ancestors that they became new ethnicities with very mixed blood from different regions.

If there are people out there who think this way, I have never experienced any of it in person. If they're talking shit behind my back, I don't really care, other than I'd prefer anyone say what they have to say to my face.
@@loturzelrestaurant I might check it out. I'm honestly not overly concerned about any of this. It's only for me not to be racist to anyone, or discriminatory, and everyone else can do what they will. The Democrats have lost me on fiscal policy forever simply because I will not vote to spend one dollar to help people who hate me. I can't change my socially liberal beliefs though; they're core to who I am. I think people should live with the greatest extent of social freedoms practicable as long as what they do harms no other.

I have a simple recipe: be respectful, be helpful, be decent. The people who are angry at white people have their own set of issues, and many are simply jumping on the bandwagon. Unless you yourself caused those issues, there is zero reason for you to apologize or feel guilty. We can't change what people did in the past. We are not responsible for what people did in the past. We are responsible for one thing: ourselves. My brother was at a stop sign on his motorcycle and was slammed into by a drunk driver. I don't hold that driver's family responsible, nor do I harbor hatred for them, even though my brother nearly died, has had 4 surgeries, and is still struggling to keep his leg. The driver did it, not the driver's family. I've never owned another person, nor did my parents, nor their parents, nor their parents' parents, and so on. In fact, most of my family immigrated here in the 1920s and 1940s. What we need to do is move forward, rather than stew in the past. Folks need to realize, understand, and accept that there is no one left living to blame for the atrocities that happened before the Civil War, and those who were alive for the segregation years are nearly gone now. The majority of humans are good people who are just trying to make due in an angry environment. I'm Gen X, and we were taught that everyone was equal. Men, women, gay, straight, all the races, poor, rich, old, young, religious, not religious, etc . . .. We ripped labels off of Everything so neutrality was more easily achieved. We judge people based on how they behave, not where they came from or what they look like. We should go back to that.
How good that at least Asians and Eastern and Central Europeans do not have this guilt/submissive mentality and can tell every woker and any "offended" individual of any race putting labels to go play elsewhere. Weak conservatives start leaning to ruscists (russian fascists) and technologically crippled Muscovy (with appropriated culture except bast shoes and Shchi) in search of support. They can only prohibit abortions and not defend their own culture. How lame and sad. Afraid to defend own rights from aggressive left-wing communists and wokers, observing dictate of minorities and doing nothing, and then voting for some right-wing pro-ruscist idiots. "Keeping heads down and shutting our mouths" - looser mentality. It means losing political agency. Other will decide things instead of you then. As mentioned by others, there is ZERO reason to fill guilty for something that was done by someone 100+ years ago. If anything, it is the white civilisation that ended slavery across the globe, brought human rights, created modern medicine as we know it now, brought ability to be heard to masses (internet & blogging), and so on. For example, if Indian government wants to invest in nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers instead of toilets and sanitation, it is their choice. There is no need to blame white people for the lack of toilets in India 70+ years after getting independence. In few thousand years, people will be telling that during the last 300 years it was the biggest cultural and technological leap after antiquity. Does it mean that this makes white better than any other people - of course not. There is ZERO reason to believe that white people are smarter than others. That is just how the history took its course. Who knows, if Europe had been invaded by Genghis Khan, things nowadays would have been completely different. However, we still should be proud of all the achievements. And here we are, not being able to defend against few offended wokers. Sad.
As a caucasian I was raised with "Treat other's how you want to be treated" I treat everyone I interact with, with respect, regardless of colour, gender or culture.

As a white woman with a white husband and a white son. I so appreciate this. I feel like we're being vilified. I've been "mama" to all of my son's black friends and some of his white friends. They know us, they know our hearts and they defend us. I never thought we would ever stray so far from Dr. King's dream. What would he say if he could see us today?
It is the swing of the pendulum . whites like it or not are creators of the modern world every thing we take for granted in the modern world was by the grace of white males ,other races will inherit this world as it is ,simply because whites are not multiplying .The worst thing you can be now in Europe is white male .
I take heart in knowing that there is solidarity found between us people who are just against senseless hate... that we know that there are 'people' who walk the Earth together and are truly TOGETHER and not letting petty differences control our future. I was born into white skin but my mother married a black man and I married a Latino man. What I have learned from family (current and past) of color is that we are more than capable of loving one another and sharing compassion. I have struggled with this topic... even approaching my own Step-Father about racism against white people was so challenging because I didn't want to be seen as racist or hateful for concern. It took me over 20 years to ask him what he thought about "Reverse Racism" and whether or not you can be racist against white people. I almost started crying when he told me he firmly believes that racism goes for anyone, hate can be directed towards everyone, and that the idea of people of color being incapable of racism against white people is something he disagrees with. I did start crying while watching this video. It affirms so much that the brainwashing and hate being sent our way for the atrocities of the past is something that others see as wrong too... and not just by other white people who are hurting because of it but by people of color too.
I’m a white American woman. When I was a kid, I ended up at a school with a majority Hispanic population. I was verbally, physically and sexually bullied and harassed because of the fact I was white. It resulted in severe PTSD and a deep fear of Hispanics that I’m still struggling with today. I would see a Hispanic person and would have a severe panic attack. When I was a teenager, I joined a support group for people dealing with mental health issues and I decided to come forward with my struggles. I got help from the group moderator and I told my story. I was expecting support and kindness from these people, who I considered my friends. Instead, I was called a racist and told to see my bullies as people who felt threatened by my skin color. One of these people, who I considered my best friend, looked me in the eye and told me “I am so disgusted by you.” It got so bad that the moderator had to end it. I was so ashamed, angry and hurt that I was called a racist that I ended up leaving that group, which was literally my only support system. I wondered if I really was racist for a long time as a result. My (now late) fiancé persuaded me to get help and even helped me find an expert in PTSD in the county. When I learned the expert was a Hispanic man, I got an attack so severe that I refused to go. Eventually my fiancé convinced me to go for just one session. I didn’t have much hope but I went anyway. During our first session, my therapist listened to my whole story. When I finished, he looked at me dead in the eye and said “I’m so sorry that happened to you.” It was a relief to hear someone affirm that what I went through was wrong, that I had been a victim. My therapist diagnosed me with PTSD and we came up with a treatment plan. I’m so grateful for his help and am doing much better. Now, I fear for others going through what I endured. Being a victim of racism is a horrible experience. You feel like you’re less than human. You wonder what you’re doing wrong. You even hate yourself for something that’s not your fault. So yes. Racism against whites *does* exist. The very act of saying things like “only whites can be racist” or “blacks can’t be racist” is racism. You’re making broad assumptions about people just because of their skin color. Isn’t that very act racist?
Of course racism exists every where we all have some but your friends colour don't matter if they are really your friend, Your friends should have supported you .Instead they had a need to show bogus virtue. hope you find some better friends
Sorry you had to go thru with this, I too can relate to this. As a kid I was chased down for being white and I'm bi-racial, it just proves the ignorant of kids or people really are. But mostly I feel that this is taught from a young age.
Hey that strong of you to share. Believe it or not but Americans of Colour that go visit other countries get a rude awakening.. they find out that the rest of the planet is A LOT more racist than "White America", esp anywhere in Asia Proper (from E to W, N to S). For example South Asians have been ranked as THE MOST racist group on the planet by international academic study. Latin Communities are not far behind. Btw, i have a Latin and South Asian Ancestry... so seen it live. Don't fall for the BS (most just don't want to look in the mirror so they attack you instead to feel better). Big Luv to you!
as a white person from a former soviet country, who never participated in colonization, I heard horrifying stories from WW2 of family members killed, taken to camps and never seen again and grew up in poverty and hardship... Im shocked at my treatment by "woke" ppl who are totally unaware of eastern european white ppl and the suffering we have endured!
All Europeans have suffered during that war. My family was personally effected. (were are my reperations? :/ ....) Also, why would you mention the colonization? Which has been a normal part of human nature for hundred-thousands of years. It was quite normal at the time and also, if the ones complaining about it would have had the ambition, means and smarts to do it at the time, they would have! Because that is how the world worked.
well in that case, its kinda hypocritical. People from the Soviet Union usually cry about all the hardships they had to endure and the suffering they witnessed, however there you can see what the left lacks to this day : Self-Reflection. The Hardships brought upon you by the Invasion of the Soviet Unions, wasnt just for nothing. Brutal Civil War, Brutal Murdering of the Royal Family, starving millions of people to death - on order. Its like, if you try to make a point that White People suffered, at least give your best in giving an actually self-reflecting view on it. Instead you just say "yeah, communists endured so much".... they got it fucking coming. The Soviet Union finished its first genocides before Hitler even came to Power. I have yet to meet a Single Human from a former Soviet Country who would aknowledge that the Soviet Union was a Terror Regime, instead they also pull the Victim Card. The Soviet Union was the Predecessor to todays World and you make it sound like the Soviet Union was a Victim.
@@vorrnth8734 wich is funny, because thats what he (sander mez) is doing right now. He talks about the suffering of people from former Soviet Countrys and how much they suffered during ww2... however People didnt just warn about the Dangers of Bolshevism for nothing. Every Civil War with Communists involved was especially brutal. Or the Holodomor. A Genocide committed by the Soviet Union, in wich millions of People in Ukraine got starved to death. So yeah, after all... Sander Mez is one of those people who would talk about their suffering, in total ignorance of the suffering that Bolshevism is responsible for.
I'm genuinely saddened as a working class white guy that grew up in the golden years of the early 90's were nobody saw color and we just lived with each other, to see it go so far the other way and now I'm automatically a racist at the least priveliged...when I'm neither. I hope this toxic ideal gets stamped out before it does real lasting damage.
Agreed! I really thought our country was heading towards unity for all in the 90s but wth happened??!! We seem to be devolving and we Americans are so much better than that. *sigh*
68 yo cauc. M - I used to try to explain things to people but I've given up because they don't want to listen . I didn't start out being a Trump supporter, but having viewpoints that differ from the MSM narrative will get a guy labelled as one . So now that I'm labelled a Trump supporter, I may as well become one . If someone wants to try to change my mind, I'll listen to them, but they'll have to listen to me too.
Amala, that you for this fabulous, intelligent, well said review! I've felt this way for a long time. There is so much misplaced anger & rage in our world.
I just had a weird situation with a friend who was trying to say white people who celebrate their ancestry are racists. This same friend a month ago lamented that her white immigrant mother didn’t raise her teaching her the language and customs of her Eastern European home country. These peoples hypocrisy has no limit.
I guess that stands with the entire world then :-\ cant just pick one without faulting the rest of em, and when it comes to where you come from who gives a crap, its were we end up..... quit screwing with the past itas gone... done with/// time for some new stuff
As a half white, half asian. I've experienced it both ways. I got racial comments because I was Asian about 20 years ago, it wasn't discrimination, just hurtful comments. Now I instead get hateful words thrown at me because I'm part white, and it's much much more hate than I experienced 20 years ago for being part asian.
A minority spewing hate at a larger group is dangerous, to the group doing the spewing as the tolerance of the larger group for this will run out and with it any sympathy for the people from that group who need help.
As a 65 year old woman that is half Chinese and half white, it made me cry that people could be so vicious and cruel with each other. Yes I have been racially abused, but it doesn't mean I have to do the same. We should love and be kind to each other. A blind person doesn't see colour, they hear the kindness or hatred in people's voices and the words they choose. This really hurts me.
@Anthony Ingram no one should have to tell you what race a person is ever! I apologize that so much of the sighted world is so close minded that they've come to believe that sight or appearance is all that matters!
Old white guy here. I'm hated for so many reasons that I had no part of...being old...being white...being raised with conservative leaning values...and so on. It saddens me that I'm hated, but I just keep my head down...vote for the best of the least terrible political puppets that have no courage to say anything of substance...and pray for the future. God bless young people like you and Charlie...I pray your message gets heard for the good of ALL humanity, regardless of race.
@@thomjanson9644 easy to say. Being a proud white male gets you labeled as a racist & misogynist that has no friends because everyone becomes afraid of judgement by association. I used to be a confident person, but now I feel like if I’m so much as happy in public people automatically judge me as terrible person because I’m not constantly walking around being “sorry for who I am”
@@thomjanson9644 don’t get me wrong. I don’t give a shit what anyone else thinks about me or my political leans, it’s just that here in the good ole USA, our political system has eroded to the point where free speech is literally dangerous. If it doesn’t get you physically assaulted, it will get you cancelled, fired, or worse. It’s best and smartest to just STFU and keep quiet, but also make sure you a) vote, and b) write to your politicians.

I love this video. Hate is hate. If someone’s skin color causes you to feel hatred then you are the problem. We all need to stand together, spread love, and not tolerate any hate going towards any other human based off the color of their skin.
What?! There are MANY colors, many flavors. We are all different, And we are all great. When Oprah's millionare neighbor told her, "Oh, you aren't black, you're a Neighbor" She realised he meant "You aren't what I think of when I think of black people, which is bad". It is not good to say there is no color- be real. The problem is not appreciating the beauty of each color.
I’m 63 and we all got along in my day … we were all human ….. I didn’t grow up seeing racism…. I was proud of Canada I’ve how multicultural the country was, and how we all got along we all got along until we were told by the media that we don’t get along.
@@TM-np5lq I think what he meant to say is eg. just because Hitler and I are both white, it doesn't mean that we share thoughts, ideologies and actions. We aren't the same even though we're both white. Same skin colour doesn't connect, we're all different. Just like different skin tone doesn't mean that we are any more different than same skin tone
Hi Amala. I was looking up this gentleman to show my wife, and was happy to show her your reaction. The way you expanded on his already very well spoken point, shows an impressive capacity for insight. Thank you.
I'm half white and half Asian. I look more white than my brother with blue eyes, and he's caught people talking trash on me based on how I look. When they find out they're related, they're shocked and backtrack so fast. This has been the fastest way for him to find fake friends. The trahs takes itself out. Also, filming people in a grocery store without their consent is weird. TikTok has taught people that boundaries can be crossed for anyone who is white or looks white. Let the people shop in the Asian grocery store. The food there is fire and I would like to have more Asian grocery stores.
Yes, I thought that was odd - the person recording was making fun of people that only eat asian food in restaurants - so there is a host of ingredients, foods, etc. that they know nothing about or recognize. Same would be true in an African, Indian, or Moroccan grocery store.
As a white person, I am horrified about what will happen when I become the minority, especially in a generation that has this attitude. It's not because I don't like people of color, it's because I have experienced this racism firsthand all four years of high school. What I also fear, however, is it swinging back in the other direction, where white people develop racist feelings for people of color because they have been bashed their whole lives for being white.
That is what is happening. The government is terrified of white people noticing and doing something about it, thats why its becoming illegal to defend yourself under any circumstance. This will breed hatred and it will swing back eventually, like a pendulum
@@deebraun7488 so you dont care a possible genocide of the white race as long as a certain group of extremists dont appear again, what if the rise of extremists is the only thing that will save the white race. Who are YOU to judge people that wanna live even if it means they will become evil, in what world are you living
All races need to strive for unity. We are all human beings who deserve equal rights. Judging people by the color of their skin is wrong no matter who is doing the judging. We are all individuals.
Agreed I have always wanted friend's didn't care what color you were but things just didn't work out I guess after high school and after having kids and etc you really see who really were your friend and who wasn't
As a white person it makes me happy that people are finally standing up for us. Also I’m gonna say it and I don’t care what people think. The term “people of color” is SO STUPID. First of all if you knew what the term was about and how it was introduced you might not be so proud to use it, and despite white being a color (therefore giving us the right to be “people of color) it’s just now used in our society to further make sure we know we’re not like “other races” and that we need to stay on the sidelines. Also for colonialism and imperialism I’d like to name a few empires. The Persian Empire The Zulu Empire The Ottoman Empire The Mongol Empire The Japanese Empire The Chinese Dynasties The Barbary Coast The Islamic Caliphs The Incan Empire The Mughal Empire As well as many others. None of these empires are different from the British, German, French, Spanish, or Russian Empires (as they all expanded and committed war crimes,r@pe, slavery and imperialism the only difference is they were not controlled by White People and therefore are no longer “allowed” to be brought up in these discussions. I don’t see anyone screaming for people of Mongolian decent to apologize to Central Asians, Middle Easterners, South East Asians, and Eastern Europeans for the atrocities of the Mongol Empire when the mongols killed about 10% of the world’s population at the time. I don’t see anyone screaming for the Arabs and North Africans to apologize to various European countries for the enslavement of about 2 million Europeans taken to the Barbary Slave States or for the centuries long occupation of Spain and Portugal. I don’t see anyone screaming for apologizes of people of Indigenous American decent to apologize for the atrocities of the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs for their war crimes, cannibalism and human blood sacrifices. I don’t see anyone screaming for the Japanese to apologize to other South East Asians for the atrocities that Japan enacted in World War 2. I don’t see anyone screaming about slavery when Africans sold other Africans to Europeans and Arabs. Or the fact that Africa still had vast numbers of slaves. All peoples throughout history have blood on their hands and if you condemn one you most condemn the others and not choose. Because if you choose that only one race should be blamed for something that all races did, then you truly don’t care about the things you talk about.
No you’re very wrong about the Japan one. Korea is always having beef with Japan because they haven’t apologized for their war crimes and for making Koreans into “comfort women” Japanese idols working in Korea get even into scandals over being anywhere near the Japanese rising sun sign. Japanese people working or living in Korea still face criticism now and then for being simply Japanese, or celebrating anything from Japanese culture. Korea has political conflict with Japan because they still haven’t apologized for making Koreans into comfort women, and they deny it ever happened. Japan doesn’t even include that history in their education because they deny it. So yes Koreans still hold a grudge against Japanese people. Obviously not all, but if you read any Korean news you’ll know that this is happening.
I really wouldn't get used to others standing up for you. And nonWhites standing up for Whites. Most who do are for their own benefit. Whites have to learn how to stand for ourselves. Apart from nonWhites like Amala. No offense to her or others who speak for us. They're not White. Unfortunately many Whites choose to not see race. Many choose to dismiss what is happening to Whites. You do not have to hate nonWhites. You have to learn how to appreciate being White. When you allow people to belittle and downplay our White culture and history. To the point it is erased and replaced. You create the environment that Whites are in today.
kudos for taking on this subject. go far enough in history and every race has acted inappropriately. besides that, you cant blame an entire race for the acts of individuals.
I am a white Latino who got the rough end of the stick growing up in school for being Latino, and when I moved to south America I got crap from there for being "gringo" it was a no win situation for me, I would just like to say thank you for this video. I hope that one day racism is just completely eradicated.
Hatred, "racism" will be eradicated when the discussion of how it got started is evoked, and truly invoked among people willing to have the honest conversation, quit playing the "blame game" and accept responsibility for the beginning of the whole debacle. You can hope and wish your heart out, what will you do with what you get? Did the people that gave you crap change their position because of the hope you have for change one day? Now, go back to the beginning of this reply and re-read.

It’s hypocrisy and that is an unavoidable facet of human nature! I also see a lot of hatred and rage re-directed to the soft target least likely to retaliate. This is Nazi Germany all over again.
I'm not a religious person in any way, but this proverb still holds true to this day: "First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye." I think these people should really adhere to these words first, before they cast judgement on others.

I’m a sixty year old white man and I grew up with the idea that I give everyone respect. As I get to know a person, they earn more respect from me,or they lose respect from me.

This is exactly what needs to be said and shared. Racism IS racism. No matter the color of someone's skin, EVERY person can be a racist. Thank you for this video.
Try to be racist to white people. Say something racist about them. Call them derogatory terms Make it really bad! Seriously try, Then explain how it affects white people as a whole. Their employment , education, income, social status.. legal troubles etc.. any part of their life. The first things you probably thought of were “can’t dance”, “cracker” and “racist” and then you probably got stuck. Well “racist” isn’t actually a derogatory term but instead describes a person who has certain beliefs/ignorance/ and or acts in ways they view are superior to people of color. “Cracker” also involves mistreatment of people of color as it comes from the noise a whip would make when a slave owner would abuse their slaves. And “cant dance” ..?we know white people can dance and this is a pretty tame stereotype to be given regardless. But then what about how it affects their education,income, health care received etc. Well we know white people have easier access to health care in general. A study recently showed that black women are dying from child birth in higher rates than white women in the United States. We know white people have an easier time getting hired because or unconscious bias. It was shown recently that black women get paid more than white women for the same job. We know black people receive longer and more severe sentences and legal repercussions than white people for the same law broken. I mean can you name one area where this “racism” towards white people affects them at all? The reason it’s so difficult to be racist to white people is because white people have never been oppressed. They have always been in power. There are no derogatory terms to describe them because there has never been anyone more powerful than them to make them. They always have had and continue to have the upper hand when it comes to money, eduction, and politics. They built those things, they created the rules, and then they filled all of those places with their own people and put them in charge. These are all reasons people say white people don’t experience racism. If you still want to be really stubborn and technical and say those things are still racism, cool. But the difference between what black people face in comparison is SO large that it’s obnoxious, inappropriate, comical and dismissive to even bring it up or talk about. It’s like someone getting in a horrific car accident, they have head trauma, limbs lost, burns and internal bleeding and someone is like, okay but this other person has a paper cut. On top of that, this coming from Prager makes it even more problematic because Prager doesn’t even acknowledge that racism toward black people even exists, in fact they flat out dismiss it. The ONLY racism they acknowledge is “racism against white people”…Actually that’s not true, they do acknowledge racist statements or actions aimed at black people if they were made by a democrat.
100 percent agreed racism is wrong period, and i dont think anyone should minimalize anyones experience with it but also people need to stop generalizing a whole race and stereotyping because not everyone is racist within each culture.
As a British white man born in 1980 it's crazy to see this societal regression in regards to racial hatred. My formative youth years where the 90s and early 2000s where racial equality and respect for all cultures was pushed and taught and for the most part the message was received because no one wanted to be an arsehole.
Sadly, I think societal harmony is a state where most people are self aware and need little governing, which does not allow for much power to those at the top. I've worked at places where management would allow crappy behavior from individuals just so that they could feel their authority when they were "needed" to step in.
I’m a white American born in 86 and I was thinking the exact same thing. It’s like the youth of today have backtracked from where we felt that people of other races were just people.
As an old white guy I am so happy to see that some young people of color understand what is going on. This is the first of your videos I have watched. I just subscribed to your channel.
Hi Dan! I've followed Amala since she did her best to educate the young people on TikTok. Most minorities in her comments called her sellout at best, and I won't repeat the most common names she was called. It was sickening... I'm middle aged and I weep for our future, but Amala does give me hope.
Thank you, Amala. I appreciate your open-mindedness and comfort with speaking up on this issue. Rascim is ugly regardless of who professes it. If people want equality and want to be treated equally, they need to refresh themselves with the definition and walk the walk. Do unto to others... and love thy neighbor, people!!!
My 11 year old daughter is swapping from public middle school to homeschooling for 7th grade. We moved from Portland to Texas (originally from Memphis, TN not Portland) to escape the insanity... this entire school year she has been relentlessly been bullied for being white. She treats everyone with kindness and respect, skin color isn't something she thinks about. She had no concept of racism prior to entering middle school. I know bullies are every where, but it seems like kids are being actively taught to hate. Her public middle school had a program called No Place For Hate... thank goodness I looked through the slideshow the school sent out to parents first. It openly said white people are privileged and everyone else are victims. (If you want to see screenshots, I got 'em) They taught that to 6, 7, 8 graders. I actually kept my daughter home that day and we watched Charlie's video instead and discussed it. He touched on so much she's been having to cope with at the school. I asked her why she wants to try homeschooling and she said, "it will help my mental health". That's a pretty solid reason. We did homeschooling during lockdown and she did really well with it. She's very social and we've already gone to some homeschool meetups. She already made a few friends her age who treat her with the kindness and respect she gives and deserves. I can't wrap my head around teaching kids to hate a specific skin color...but divisiveness is exactly what "they" want. It keeps all of us focused on nonsense while the ominous "they" ruin our world.
Instead of teaching racism and hatred, they need to actually be education students about math and science. The United States is falling extremely far behind academically and they know it.
As a white woman of 66 years, I thank you young people! I feel like I just woke up one day and find the whole world has gone crazy! Judge people by their actions, not the pigment of their skin! I thought racism was a thing of the past. Thank you again for speaking out on my behalf!
When I was growing up, and I am almost 75, I was NOT taught to think less of black people. We had a black woman who cleaned for us. The only person that I can remember saying racist things, was my new father-in-law, after I had married. This was in 1967, and I called him out on it. He then tried to deny it, claiming that he played golf with a black guy and they were good friends. But now and then his feelings would slip out. His son, my husband, was not like his father. We had black friends over to our home, and we were invited to their home. When I was a child we had a black baby-sitter. We loved her, and she loved us. When I got my first job, I worked in a warehouse. My supervisor was black. She frequently ridiculed me and I asked my black co-worker why? She said, "Because she's a racist". I was shocked. I said, "I thought only white people are racist" She laughed and said, "Girl, black people are more racist than white people!" I was very naive. Later I thought about it and realized that of course some older blacks had experienced racism and it angered them so much that they taught their kids to hate. I can understand that, but if you keep stoking a fire, and throwing more fuel on it, the fire will continue to burn. It had mostly gone away while I was a young mother, but CNN continues to stoke the fire by telling only half-truths in order to further their Marxist agenda. I fully expect my comment to be deleted. They delete so much of what I say.
As somebody who is borderline obsessed with studying history, it genuinely astounds me how the average person has little to no interest in history, yet get angry/offended by things that happened to other people in the past. Ignoring the fact none of us would be alive if not for history playing out exactly how it did, why do so many people just use history as an excuse to be a shitty person in the present?
Exactly. They don't talk about how it was their own people who sold them or that there were black slave owners. Or that every country on the planet has a history of slavery and that there are currently countries who still have slaves. Also MY ancestors were also slaves. But I have never believed I was owed anything or that the past had any bearing in whether or not I succeed. My failures are my own or if anyone sabatoged me it was someone currently in my life. This whole racism narrative is a lie perpetuated to splinter and fragment the whole of our society. It keeps us weak, vulnerable, distracted and confused which is perfect for a corrupt government to control us and prevent us from seeing what the REAL problems are. And also they don't talk about how it was the Democratic party that did not want to end slavery. It was the Republican side that fought to end it. But the Democratic party uses Gaslighting as their number one form of abuse on us. They lie about lying about which they lied. That party is the one that is racist. They use black people and contort their psyche to make them feel like they are less than all while telling them they are prioritized and adored. Black lives have ALWAYS mattered. It's why we fought to have them freed! White people fought white people. It's crazy how the past is what they say they are mad at but the past tells them that more than half the country fought for them and won and yet they lump us all together as violent racists. Seems to me that we kicked racism out a nearly hundred years ago. It's astonishing that more of them can't see how preposterous this all is.
Especially the fact that they think “white” is a race, they are a category because they have so many races mixed, it’s hard to put them in only one heritage
Do not be astounded. Easily emotional are easily manipulated. Slaves were owned by all races, unfortunately. It's just the modern history and segregation and racism incorrectly associates slaves with black people being owned by white people.
I'm a Gen Xer. I remember the halcyon days of the late 80s and early 90s when we thought we had this racism thing beaten. Sure, we had some older boomers, but our generation had defeated the monster. The Soviet Union fell. Everything was moving in a positive direction. Then someone brought a friend to a party. He started telling everyone that racism is worse than ever. The things he was saying made me respond to him, "The only racist person sitting at this table is you." He replied, "I can't be racist. Racism is based on privilege and power. Since I have none, because I'm black, I can't be racist." I replied, "I can't converse with someone too ignorant to understand a simple word." When he started preaching again, I got up and left. This was in 1985. Our generation were the ones who were ignorant. We sent our children off to colleges to be indoctrinated into the ideas this guy was spouting. We let the socialists take over the government and bankrupt the country. We let you all down. I am personally sorry for this. Unfortunately, as I tell my children, you didn't make the mess, but you will have to find a way to clean it up. Life isn't fair. Get over it and get to work.
@Tom Thumb It is always fun to have people who weren't there tell you what you thought and did. I wasn't a conservative because they were in there bible thumping stage. I wasn't a democrat because of people like Al Gore and the Clintons. I think the downfall of the US started when Uncle Ronnie sold out the American people to Tip O'neill in order to destroy the Soviet Union.
@Tom Thumb we battled hard in the 80’s and 90’s for equality of all races and my white voice was very important during that time. This last decade it feels like it was all for nothing. No, it is more than a feeling, it WAS all for nothing. Gen Z is the first younger generation that I hate- all proud victims.
Thank you for calling us Gen X! We are the forgotten ones! People try to tell me I’m millennial when I didn’t use the internet or have an email address until I was in college. We need Gen X to stay a category! We are not boomers or millennials but we are the interpreters for millennial and boomers conversing together. You don’t speak each other’s languages but gen x speaks both!
@@allytrudie864 interpreters. What a great way to put it. We GenXers are definitely in the middle, doing our best to balance the chaos from both extremes.
While in middle school I almost got expelled for "racism". I was called in as a neutral witness to explain a fight between a black and a white student to the principal & staff. Told them the truth, which was that the black student had started it and also used race-based insults first by calling the other girl a "f*cking white bitch". (long story short white student's brother got mugged in the street and beaten up, broken bones and all, and black student (whom she wasn't getting along with) overheared her telling her friends about it and loudly said she hoped next time they would kill him, which sparked the argument and subsequent fight.) Didn't get expelled thanks to my teachers, but I still was forced to write an apology letter to the student I had "wronged" and read it publicly. Which I did. After which she spat on my face. In front of our PE teacher, our entire class and the principal. The principal's answer? I must have deserved it for being a racist and not siding with her. (Even funnier is that at the time I was dating the only other black girl in our class and we got along swimmingly. Some racist I was.) Whenever I think about this (and it's only one of the many things that have happened to or around me) I can't help but think we're fueling racism. If you want to end racism, stop making everything about race. Nobody is inherently right or wrong just because of their skin color. No group of people should be judged for the actions of others, and you can't change the past, only learn from it and try not to repeat old mistakes. I just have genuinely no idea how to explain that to that entire generation of people who are so obsessed with "eliminating the whites" and refuse any and all conversation with people whose opinion differs from theirs. Even worse so is that in my country, most of that point of view got here via tv shows and a lot of kids just kinda...assimilated a biased american history as being their own...? (even though that's not the case in the slightest)
You're right. We are fueling racism. I have heard white people I have known my whole life say things recently they never woukd have said before. When I ask them what changed in them they all have the same answer. They've been treated with racism and like a racist by so many minority people that it just sank in. Like the lady and the gentleman (uh oh I assumed genders lol) said in this video, it's a cycle of oppression and we're continuing it.
I had it pretty bad in school back in the 80s and 90s, but nowhere near this bad. This is like, next level shit. Yeah I got bullied and whatever, and teachers were nasty, but it was NEVER about race. In high school I grew the balls to accept expulsion, and told the school to go get bent. But what happened to me, was NOT about race. It was other things I won't get into, but it was NOT about race. Had this racist crap happened to me in middle school, I'd have grown those balls earlier on, because that would have been crossing a line. I put up with a lot of BS in school, but racism would have been one of my lines in the sand. Sorry that this happened to you. I don't envy kids in modern times, they've got it so much worse than I ever could have imagined anything being when I was a kid. Its terrible.
@@psecdocumentary well that was in the early 2000s, but I don't envy modern kids either... It was the start of what they liked to call "positive discrimination" here. (yep, not even trying to conceal that they ARE discriminating against students based on race. But hey, if it's against white kids I guess it's fine, right...?) Thankfully I don't remember having similar problems in my high school, but kids who went to my middle school after me told me that students had managed to make several (good) teachers quit so I guess it got worse...
An Asian immigrant here. Some of my friends back home who have never been to the US got so worried when they learned I was moving here, and they have learned to deliberately make comments like “Americans are racists.” After almost two years here, I’d say the very place I got bullied the most in my life for my skin color, height, and etc and have seen racial oppressions going on right in front of my eyes day in day out is still in my home country. It’s easy to criticize someone else’s home than cleaning up our own mess.
💯 I’ve noticed most countries seem to be like that -except for America and Canada since its a melting pot of everyone, naturally with a higher rate of mixed relationships too :b
I was born in Montana untill 5 years old I moved to an African American neighborhood in Seattle... Lol I was like mom they hate us here.. over the years I wase tore tf up for being white...phisically and verbally..But besides the hate.. African Americans showed tremendouse love too.. Both the streets showed love and households that took me in as their childrens friends.. it was always the woke square type back then that had issue with me being born white.. but through the years I find it impossible for almost any african American to go through things I wont even go into.. but through all that I choose to see folks as individuals.. ill never hate a race and love or hate folks individually based on their energy.. I learned how to be a father from African American fathers do their thing. Im both greatfull for all the love and scared from the hate. But in my lifetime I find it hard to beleive many african Americans faced the amount of bloodshed and daily racism I endored.. I know there is some but just saying with what I endured I hate some folks but not based on they skin tone.. its what come out their mouths.. These woke racist types tho I hate like I hate the Klan. Wish they all have a painful demise... im through with this mess. But I damn sure dont attribute their evil to a whole race.
I'm mostly Irish, my people have been highly oppressed for ages, I come from a poor family. I honestly lived in my car for months when I was younger. No-one in my family ever enslaved anyone, my ancestors just ran from famine and indentured slavery. People still come up to me talking about my white privelege and how my family enslaved theirs. It's immensely unfair and cruel in all honesty.
this is where it becomes clear that it's all an Orwellian class suppression. These activists (upper middle classes) that spread the culture either don't realise or intentionally deny that most of the working class poor are white. I don't really understand how my ancestors who worked in the mines until they died of black-lung had 'white' privilege. It's actual privileged white people that are spreading this culture.
That's no damned excuse. The system of Yt privilege protects, coddles, and provides numerous advantages you folks enjoy from the cradle to the grave. And now, the system took away Affirmative Action, so the mediocre yt masses can now rest very easily, as before!
So is Jim Crow and the yt privilege that you "suffer" with! You have no idea what unfair is, and you have no right to complain vis a vis the many benefits of ytness you enjoy! Cry me a river of tears for your sorrows!
I'm Hispanic and grew up in South Texas, my husband, who is white, moved there in middle school. Had to switch schools due to excessive physical bullying at his first school. People projected their ideas on him to harm him because he was another "racist white man" before puberty even finished shaping him. This was the early/mid 2000s and it helped get me out of the mindset of those peers, seeing how horribly he was treated despite being such a sweet and kind kid. We were in a 99.9% Hispanic area, school, community, etc as well. It made me ashamed. Now that I'm having a son, I worry that he'll deal with even worse behavior and it's heartbreaking.
I live in south Texas too, and my half white, half hispanic daughters are treated like garbage in school, mostly by the racist teachers. Who can I complain to when the ones in charge are the racists? Even though my daughters are half Mexican they dont care becausethey judge them on their skin color.
@@LolaAlmaguer8797 Our ancestors were conquerants, warriors. We eed to stop being bullyed you need to keep your head up, and fight back.That's the only way.

It wasn't until we moved him away from them that he flourished. And, for the woman re serial killers, THE MOST PROLIFIC serial killer in America was a BLACK MAN!!!
Im autistic and white and it causes me a lot of passive racism bc I seem “off” and they immediately assume it’s racism. I get rly worried that ppl assume I’m racist bc I act “weird” or uncomfortable bc I don’t make eye contact ect.
Dont worry about that. You cant control what other people think of you and unless it doesnt put you in harms way, f*ck em. Its not your job to make them less prejudice, that shit is all on them and their burden to take care of.
I'm Adhd on the spectrum..And don't give a shit. You have a license to be crazy and get away with it. And believe me your not crazy the atheist world is..Never be afraid to speak the truth. You fear the wrath of man when you should fear the judgement of God. For when you trust God you fear no man.
@wazzadavies5693 "for when you fear God... look what happened during the inquisition, the pogroms, the Holocaust, in Cambodia, China, Russia, Bosnia, Uganda and more, people believed in God where was God, According to the Torah, Haazinou, the destruction doesn't come from God, Humans have unalianable free will. God cannot do anything about it.
@@bellaherz5945 lol nice miss quote. You forgot that 90% of those countrys are communist. None of them believe in God. The greatest mass killings in history were communist an atheist.
@@unclewazza777In Noah's Ark God murders all but 2 of every animal, and all but the 8 people on the ark. As a Christian you'll scoff at this, but I have never committed near xenocide, nor have I ever murdered my children, leaving me morally superior to this god of yours. It can judge me all it wants, but God knows I judge it more than it could ever judge me. Am I gonna burn me in hell for thinking that? Well then God's just proving my point. And I'm not "anti-christian" specifically, I'm simply just anti-religion. I understand that you're "allowed" to attack Christianity but not other religions, and I believe that's wrong as well. We should be equally critical of religions across the board.
A friend of mine was the only white girl in a school of primarily black people. She was only in elementary, getting bullied relentlessly for her skin. She's nearly graduated HS and still struggles with her self-image.
this happened to me in jr high when i lived in DC where the student population was mostly black my only saving grace was my last name “Figueroa” & the hispanic kids took notice that i was mixed but looked primarily white. only 3 white kids including myself & my brother who’s name is juan lol
God of the Cripples And? When l was in school a 14 year old white girl committed suicide because she was being bullied by other white kids. So there. Its even...
@@opeeate we were taught the same. I remember memorizing a short part of MLK I Have a Dream for school in like 3rd grade, around age 8. Thing is here if you're judging someone based off their character and they're a different race/gender/weight than you, you're blamed for judging them by their appearance, not character.
It's actually better if we can stop judging people at all "for their character". Of course, we have to speak out against or curtail behaviours that are damaging, but it's better to love the person and judge the behaviour or words.
@@opeeatei mean it’s a constant fight for survival, so you guys don’t have time for such trivial things, when at any moment some wanka with a boomerang could hit your ground anchor and make you fall of earth
I’m a Baby Boomer. I grew up at the tale end of Jim Crowe. I absolutely despised the way Black people were treated! The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr, God rest his soul, was a beautiful man who had a dream and a vision for all people to get along and love each other through the power of Jesus Christ. I will continue to pray for that! Socialism/communism must not prevail in this country! United we stand divided we fall! We must all love one another, and respect our differences! We are far more all alike than we are different! May God bless us all, amen!
Thank you for sharing this. I had a black woman come into my job and was screaming racial slurs at me ( I'm white ) and was accusing me and every white person of being racist and having white privileges. I stopped her and said ma'am, you're doing to me what you're accusing me of doing and being to you. I grew up very poor and have never experienced this privilege I've heard about. I honestly feel like I can't respond to anyone who screams racial slurs at me because if I do I'm accused of suppressing someone's rights. My Irish ancestors were sold to wealthy white people as indentured servants, but according to society that doesn't count as an issue. There's so much wrong in this world and I do not and will never understand the reasoning behind judging solely on skin color. God help and bless us all
As a 42 year old white man, who was raised by solely a black father from day one of birth, I have seen racism from both sides. I had friends that I couldn't visit anymore in grade school after their parents found out my father was black. I had family on my fathers side that me and my mother could not visit, because they did not approve of us, or treated us badly because they wanted my father to marry a black woman. My point is that it isn't a black or white issue, and it isn't an Asian issue. It's an "everyone" issue. We need to focus on healing ourselves mentally and spiritually. Then we need to work on healing those around us. We need to focus on embracing and understanding each others cultures, and not being seen as trying to be black, or a nerd for showing interest in white culture. We need to forgive the past so we can move forward. We need to unite the clans, cast evil aside, and let love in. The things we could all do together if abolished materialism, and used the negativity we are spreading to create positivity, could be so powerful.
Sadly, so many people aren't interested in uniting as the human race. Too many use pure looks as an indicator of whether they want to accept someone within their culture or not.
I do believe this is the core issue too. I attribute it to people having a lot of time, access to media, many young folks lacking purpose and vision in life. I used to choose drinking to pass time and find purpose. We should all check ourselves first before we point fingers, it's very easy however to not be as hard on yourself as you are on others. And usually, we claim to hate things about other people which we mostly hate about ourselves.
This is why I love learning about different culture. After learning about different groups of people you start to see a lot of similarities every culture has with eachother. Like bill burr said "there's too much info in the world and every group misses a piece". Personally, I think the most important step of decreasing racism is to learn about other cultures. Ignorance is the main cause of racism, the best way to eliminate ignorance is by learning.
Amala, Thanks for this video. I am a child of the 60's and spent much of my early life fighting racism within my family and trying to make the world a better place. As a Straight, White, Christian male, I am the most vilified person on the face of the planet regardless of who I am and who I've been. I wish you luck in whatever endeavors you pursue. For what I see in this video, you are a powerhouse who will go far. Best wishes, Steve
@Matt Moore You apparently are the embodiment of the worst examples of racism in this video. Did you even watch it before slamming someone yet again? Are you so well trained by politics as to make snide comments without the benefit of thought and any kind of introspection?
I didn't even know I needed to hear this....thank you for appearing as a recommended video ❤❤ and please know I'm always trying to be the best ally I can be to those who need it. But I've also carried a lot of hatred for skin color and even for being born in America at all.... Thank you again for your video ❤
YES! THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES! I am quite disgusted with people blaming me because I am white for what happened in the past. It is completely illogical and wrong thinking. I WASN"T THERE.
The problem isn't nearly only with what has happened but with what continues to happen today. White people will always get the job or get the promotion or get a slap on the wrist when a lengthy jail sentence is more appropriate. Things are still happening and that is the problem. If you think that isn't the case then you are in fact a part of the problem.
I am in 7th grade, and right now I go to a school with mainly black, Asian, and Latino kids. I’m white and Asian, (but I look completely white) and people have bullied me for years and years for it. I’ve been told cracker, untitled google document, unseasoned food, etc. I’ve been to,d I can’t have ANY opinion on ANYTHING that has to do with people of color, or racism, because apparently “I haven’t experienced it”. Even though my whole life I have. I’ve always been put as a second option, or even last just because I look white. Everyone at my school is so freaking racist to white people and it’s sickening. It’s like we can’t even mention a persons ethnicity because we’d be called racist. I’m so sick and tired of all these 12 and 13 year olds thinking they’re grown and know everything about racism. Because they don’t. Thank you Amala and Charlie Cheon for talking about this. I love you both. *we* love you both. ❤️
aw my friend, i am 35 and i experienced THE SAME thing when I was in 7th grade. (back in 2000). Aw! man! hang in there. dont let them ruin your soul. you seem so intelligent.
And you're only in seventh grade :( I'm so sorry this is happening to you, kids that age can be cruel. You shouldn't be called those things. Have you spoken to any teachers, or even the principal?
@@KiwiKeyblademost of my teachers are black and will… y’know.. but one of my teachers who are black will actually stand up for me but she forget most of the time 😭😭 and my school is having a difficult situation with our principle so idk
Another thing is every single race at one point in the past had slaves or were slaves. I don’t think about color, I think any race can do anything, whether that be struggling or succeeding.
As s white man. I don't care what any authority or group tells me, I have and will continue to judge people on their actions, not their skin. I have seen real racism and racist against black people with my own eyes and it made me sick enough to speak up about it just like if it was a white, Asian or any other race. We judge people on their character and actions, nothing else.
I’m an Asian adopted by a white family. Once in school, a couple of black boys came up to a pair of white girls in school, said something about it being a national awareness month, and how they had to write letters apologizing for the sins of their ancestors. I just remember going home and complaining about it to my white mom, and she just looked like it was normal. I have heard how they are being treated, and how they feel helpless when it comes to speaking out about it. Thank you so much for talking about this. I might be a bit biased, but I do get the perspective of two of these groups. I’m left alone for being Asian, not really expected to speak my mind, but people feel comfortable speaking about their side to me.
I'm a white guy in my mid 60s. When I was 18 I was working in a convenience store in a black area of town when the TV mini-series "Roots" came on. "Roots" was a fantasy show portrayed as a documentary. The guy who wrote the book peddled it as his family's history, but it turned out later that a large part of it was plagiarized, and some of it, particularly the first few episodes, were so absurd that no one remotely familiar with history would have taken any of the serious seriously. Anyway, it was a story supposedly tracing the lineage of the author from his African ancestor. Of course, the white people in the show were portrayed as abusers, rapists, murderers, and assorted scumbags. And the show, fantasy or not, was very popular. Suddenly I had, for months, black kids coming into the store calling all sorts of names and accusing me of everything you can imagine. I mostly ignored them, accepting the fact that they were young ignorant morons buying BS they saw on TV which is a problem in every demographic. But one idiot in particular really wanted to press it so I pointed it out to him. I said "Look, Dumb-ass, You were never a slave, you've never even met a slave! You've never even met anyone who was ever a slave! And I've never owned a slave and never even met anyone who owned a slave! So what in the hell are you whining about? " He couldn't answer.
Because of this very problem, the actual cause of it cannot even be mentioned on you tube or anywhere else without it being instantly taken down, shadow banned and YOU facing being cancelled.......BY those very people who propagated it ! it isnt and possibly never WAS about the different colours of peoples skin, - THAT is simply the weapon NOT the cause, it is ACTUALLY a product of different colours of POLITICS. and if you were to dig deep enough - you would find they have done a brilliant job of setting man against fellow man - it is merely a diversionary tactic to keep the publics attention away from the insidious rise of its intentions and has worked so well for them even THEY can hardly believe how easy it was, the "people" causing this realised early on that the best way to defeat a political enemy is have HIM do all your fighting for you, they knew that people in the main are easily led and selfish and utilised it, and here is one of its more successful manifestations, do your own research on a certain "11 point plan" from eighty something years ago and see what YOU think ! these people knew EXACTLY what they were setting in place even then........while the rest of us were joyfully oblivious..................SUBSCRIBED.........if you are happy to include a hatefull white male CIS "oppressor" of course lol.
This is my exact philosophy. “I don’t care if you’re black, white, brown or plaid. straight, gay or crooked. man, women or neither. All I care about is, “are you an asshole?””
I didn’t know I was allowed to even consider these thoughts. Amala when you said “I hope this video falls on the ears of those subscribed to white guilt or the need to reconcile the acts of their ancestors” I began to weep. I didn’t realize how built up this was in my heart, and to hear you give me permission to not own this guilt immediately caused a physical reaction. Like a hug I didn’t know I was allowed to have. I felt your words more deeply than I feel comfortable to admit. Because I still feel even wrong in writing a comment because I don’t want the public to know how much these words were so meaningful to me because somehow I might be perceived to be all the things that are said negatively about white people. The last thing I want is to hurt others or be a cause of hurt and I feel like no matter how I feel or what I do or not do I am still ignorant and still unable to understand because I am white. I want to be part of a solution . And I love to have this permission to even think about these things and to discuss this. I just finished reading “The Warmth of Other Suns” recommended to me by a white female friend. I hated the book because I hated facing the facts of history. But I read it and I continued reading it. And I just ached and with great sorrow made myself face these stories. I was so so so angry at Jim Crow laws and this era of time. But I don’t know what to do know about it. I wish I could go back in time and hug every person and look them in the eye see them and celebrate them as an individual . But I can’t. And I just don’t know want my society wants me to do. But your video has encouraged me to not own this guilt and carry on with showing and expressing kindness to every unique individual and be a listener to empathize with their stories and just hug them now. Ok..: Posting… with a bit of fear though
I understand this. I am always afraid and feel sometimes like the only way to make them happy would be to not exist, basically to die. I always wished I was another race so this pressure to solve things I have no control over, that happened in our history, wasn't on me. Nobody should have to shoulder what they didn't do; even if it was a relative, it wasn't them. That is like saying every child whose parent raped someone has to live a life of shame and guilt because they have to atone for their parent's sins??? I believe everyone should own up for their own mistakes, but only theirs and not other people's. That isn't fair to put on anyone.
I'm proud of your courage to post this. I could not have said it better myself as I feel the EXACT same way you do and it's really scary to think I might say or do the wrong thing and be labeled as a thing that I am very much against. And then have it come up sooner or later in life that ive been labeled as "racist" and it affect my ability to get a job or anything else. These people can literally ruin their lives by labeling them that as well as a transphobe/homophobe/terf etc., no one will want to associate with them. And then we are gaslit into believing poc can't be racist against white people and we deserve the mistreatment while they are doing everything to white people that would be seen as extremely racist if the roles were reversed. And it makes me so sad because I truly believe in POCs rights and I think black women are some of the most beautiful women on the planet. But I am exhausted of constantly walking on eggshells and having to feel ashamed and disgusted with myself just because I'm part white and very white passing. While I do have Caucasian in me, I am mixed race with latina. However I've been made to hate the white half of my race. Your courage for saying this is why I'm saying it too ! I am so relieved I am not the only one who is chronically scared to say the wrong thing in this "free speech" country that could ruin my life.
Remember to forgive yourself and be kind to yourself. Start with today, and treat people of all creeds and colors the way you want 6o be treated. As a white woman, I offer a big hug. ❤
When those thinking they are on the "right side" of history find out later they were on the wrong side. A hard thing about growing up is having to wait for others to grow up, too. The sad thing about seeing these kids spouting their hateful opinions on social media is that one day they'll grow out of (hopefully) and those videos will still exist because even if they delete them someone out there is saving them.
Outstanding Amala, As a white male boomer it is so refreshing to hear your age group speak so clearly and confidently and truthfully. Keep it up. Subscribed.
I am a White person and have been frustrated with the racism towards us when I have never done anything towards those people.... this is very refreshing to see people of color (My friends) standing up for us and showing that they too have our backs. Thank you!
What do you mean those people? That’s a racist c statement. You white peopled have benefitted from the the slavery, lynchings and thievery directed to people of color. It’s your time now. The house of cards is falling in the America
I am a white person: white people don't face racism, usually have NO CLUE what actual racism is, and conflate White Hate from individuals with racism. Racism is a system, not merely an individual act.
It not about what you have done, it’s about what you haven’t done. Due to your ancestors they created a society of people who benefited off this which allows you the privilege and the benefits as well. But now you feel how we have for ages. Use your privilege to change people
I am a white Scandinavian, but I have both Sami and Gypsy in my blood. I have worked as an au pair in the USA. I actually worked for a black Jamaican single mother who was a senior physician. She had received the education with a scholarship and had adopted two daughters of African-American ethnicity. I will never forget the day the 5 year old girl came home and asked me if I had owned slaves. It was black history month. I said that when my parents were children they had barely seen a man with brown hair and black eyes and that my country banned slavery back in the 14th century. It must be remembered that slavery has occurred unfortunately in many cultures and even between people of the same ethnicity. Charles Dickens was actually a child slave during part of his upbringing. In Russia, those with the lowest social status were slaves "self" until the latter half of the 19th century. But even today there are slaves all over the world and many women are marriage slaves. Slavery occurs in all ethnicities unfortunately.
Slavery was banned in the UK in 1086 (by William of Normandy) so no, Dickens wasn't a 'slave' in the sense you're implying. Working his tail off for bad wages, yes, but not a slave. Rusians were serfs.
As far as I can tell.. the world was basically created by white people.. even all the good stuff. It was white people that tried hardest to end slavery and were definitely the most successful in doing so. I live in Britain and can honestly say I know no one who is racist and white... That will change soon.. how long do you think they are going to keep putting up with this??? Built the fairest systems and advanced everything from medicine and science to art and literature more than any other. Without white people where would black people be? Think about it.. who could do without who the most.. whites lives wouldn't be that different without black people. They would still have medicine, electricity, industry, basically everything that racists take for granted every day.. what did they invent or build before the whites forged the way. Nothing.. it's as ungrateful and pathetic as feminism.. yo.. white dudes.. thanks ... Doesn't make sense to thank them as they are long dead right?? You still blame them tho right! Grow up
@@socratesrocks1513 Russians were way lower than serves. They didn’t even get paid and sometimes not even fed. The majority were “krestyane” the peasants. They were owned by the wealthy people to do the labour they were traded or even killed like literal things, and never as a human. Read the case of Saltychikha, and things like that had occurred all the time, with the exception that this one is wildly known. And even after that horrible incident instead of helping these people, The Impress just banned peasants from complaining about their owners. So basically feel free to kill more of these people, welcome to Russian up until the latter middle of the 19th century.
Well from what I've read russians peasats couldn't move without their master agreement, they had no rights, they were worked almost to death and sometimes killed🤔 so like slaves I guess. Well read "Dead Souls" by Gogol. It's about selling and buying names of peasents.
@@socratesrocks1513 There was the wonderful habit that the Royal Navy employed of trolling the waterfront to replenish their ranks from time to time, beating young men unconscious or taking them aboard ship by force in the system known as, "impressment", where it was considered mutiny and desertion, punishable by death for anyone to leave the navy without the captain's consent. This form of slavery could last decades, and the lifestyle aboard resulted in a brutal and often very short life. From this practice comes the term, "press gang", which lasted until 1815. On the bright side, they did not discriminate against anyone who did not come from a wealthy family, and "impressed", them equally regardless of race. Oh, yes, I still remember the new's reel I was shown of a British officer shooting 20, "Sepoy mutineers", in a row, in front of a drainage ditch with his pistol, one by one. It was thought those prisoners of the Great Rebellion too much trouble to incarcerate, so in the interest of "lightening the load", the solution was to feed the crows and vultures. I was eight when I saw that. No worries, all nations and races are equally guilty of similarly horrific practices. It does bring a smile to wonder how someone could believe they are more moral because they stopped being a horrible creature before someone else did. Kind of like, "keeping up with the Jones's".
I have never been racist and yet in the past few years I see I have begun to be a little racist because I'm so tired of the terrible racism I have insured and it seems ok now. I still treat everyone with kindness and love but now I see myself scared of the other races, usually black and I hate that this has happened
Honestly as a black man, the concept of racism really shocks me let alone combating racism with more racism. We can just respect one another regardless of color. Racism or discrimination of any kind is just down right wrong and just disgraceful. Lord help us
Exactly. Unfortunately it’s a basic human characteristic to seek power and then misuse it. I’m thinking of the Stanford Prison Experiment. People coming into power now should use foresight and knowledge of historical precedence to guide their actions, but that’s not the attitude, it seems. No one is practicing caution or using generosity of spirit- because the don’t HAVE to. The world’s not holding them accountable which is why they can be cruel, they know there are (presently) no consequences they will face. Society letting them get away with this behavior is not good for anybody- there need to be boundaries if we want to produce mature people with noble spirits.

You sound stupid as hell, black ppl cannot be racist. Krakkkas brought this on themselves. We not getting over what happened until we have EVERYTHING back that was taken. Until then I'm krakkkak4L
The problem with this is the "racisim" that's being fought doesn't exist. It's all enslaved by media and government officials to keep us divided.
"Racism with racism?" I think you still have the misguided idea that the majority of white people are racist. WRONG. Grace of God white supremacists are still the minority. So how about fighting the urge to assume what misguided individuals perpetuate as fact.
I’ve been quiet about it for YEARS as a black man and was shamed for thinking like it when I DID speak up. Thank you for not letting me think I’m crazy😂

@@mafoombeh1085 I don't believe that's the case. It's not that I'm asking permission to speak, it's that when I do speak, no matter what I say, the only response is alienation from those that are not afraid to put others down. After a while you just give up trying. And after it continues, even with topics that have absolutely nothing to do with what one side or another is ranting about, then it feels targeted and personal. And yet, without being able to talk to people openly, it causes us to retreat inward and isolate ourselves, which in turn leads to depression.
Don’t be. Please believe me I am white and I will (and do) use the N word freely if someone (likely the left) is racist towards me. Not what I like to do but I am literally given no choice to defend myself. I don’t see why every white person should take constant abuse from the media, social media and public. This is a free world, and you don’t lay down while someone is kicking you. Toughen up and speak freely. Because if you don’t, they will for you. This isn’t what we should be doing, I agree. But if the left want to talk about race…let’s talk about race.
@@davidstowe7880 So are you afraid of words from the scum-iest part of the society?

I'm white and have been in a mixed marriage for 30 years. For the first 20 years or so of our marriage, nobody of any race ever gave us a hard time, but in the past decade, it's gotten worse and worse every year. People call my wife a race traitor in her place of business, and her boss, who is white, is so scared of retribution that she refuses to do anything about it. My kids are teased in school because they are half white; my daughter came home in tears one day because some of her friends told her they were so sorry for her that she had to live with a white father. It's insane, and it's only getting worse. I pray that more people like yourself and the young man in the video can prevail and help bring us back to reality. You are both eloquent speakers, so maybe your message can reach some of these young, impressionable minds.
I'm blk and my family have so many shades and I have so many ethnicities, just like most Americans I would think. I hear blk ppl say they could never date anyone of another color because they wouldn't understand the blk experience. which is crazy because I believe it's a community based upon who's around you and it's American culture with classes, and ppl will be more related In similar areas probably but that does not have anything to do with color. Ppl are just racist today bro, and it's sad that I'm hearing you can't date outside your race now (which has been happening forever; my great grandma was born in 1922 and her parents was yt and native American) also everyone is being tribal over color. I wish one day we could just say Americans only without color. SMH
I'm white & my bf is black. My son looks more like brown & has really thick hair. Basically takes after his dad more than me. Which is fine. But one day when he was younger he asked me what race does he date. Black or white. I told him it doesn't matter what race they are as long as they have a good heart. He also told my friend who noticed he was wearing a black & white sock that he isnt racist. If his parents are black & white then so can his socks. Mind you he was like 5 y/o.
That's so disgusting. I'm srry that has happened to your wife and kids. This is all so fuckt up

Treat everyone around you with a certain death lest they respect you. That's the founding principle of any nation upon this god damned earth of ours.
Peace is truly the worst thing that people can live through, what the West needs, is to have bombs rain down from the skies, bullets whining in the wind, the air turned into mustard gas and the water turned into acid.
Lemme see how long people have the time for these ridiculous ideas when we shove these good-for-nothings into the frontlines against their wills.
Lemme see how long their psyches will last when they'll have to scramble for food.
I bring not peace but war, I am not the savior but the sword which shall best you all, only through death is there mercy, and only through death is there peace.
Rest your heart against my blade, and rest thy neck against the block lest the chop be painful and plenty.
Oh ye merry men, privileged like few before thy times, may God grant you mercy but my blade will not.
The blade that falters is the sign of weakness, men, women, children, shall be felled alike, like lambs to the slaughter, the streets and fields be dyed red.
And as Jesus said...
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
I'm African-American and I have faced so much racism (mostly in high school) because the color of my skin was NOT as dark as the majority of African Americans. Even among my siblings, I obviously have the whiter skin. I got called things like "cracker", "half-breed" (that one insinuating that being white was the worst thing you could be), "Albino" I even got called the n word but with a w to represent being white and many, many more racist comments. All those terms and words came from POC. I hated who I saw in the mirror because of the color of my skin. So yeah, there is something against white people, and we need to change this and be respectful regardless of what color we see. Don't base your judgements on me because I have pale skin, base it because of my actions and how I treat other people.
I hope you can look in the mirror now and love yourself knowing that what was done to you and said to you was so so wrong.
U are a beautiful person with a beautiful skin color and personality. Do not let those ppl define who u are bc the only thing THEY notice is skin color. Thats all they care about. 🫂🫂🫂

I am an African and I am sick and tired of this new culture of cancelling whites. I am tired especially of blacks who don’t want to take responsibility and accountability for their actions and rather want to blame everything on whites. White privilege etc, I am just sick of it! Let us treat each other right irrespective of race, judge based on how someone thinks and not the colour of their skin. It’s just crazy how much we love seeing colour. People think it’s being woke and progressive. Let’s call it what it is, it’s stupid.

I’m a unicorn and I’m sick to death of XYZ.
I remember someone once telling me that white people don't know what it's like to be oppressed. And then I was like, really? I'm from Poland, and people from my country lived under partition for 123 years. Members of my family were also in concentration camps (where many Slavic people were sent because they were considered an inferior race); my grandmothers were sent to Germany for FORCED labour, and for decades the use of the Polish language was banned. They lived under German occupation for 6 years and then 44 years under Russian occupation. Isn't that enough?
As a Filipino who were colonized by the Spaniards for 333 years, Americans by 48 years and Japan for 3 years, we really don't have any hate against those countries and their people. It's very very VERY simple. The people who are living there today, aren't the same people who colonized us during that time.
So, as a race who were oppressed most of our history, I am still confused what are the blacks fighting for up to this day. If they don't like being in America and the whites, why are they still living there? Do they not know that ships and airplanes were now discovered and can be used to go back to their original root country if they are so concerned about history that it affects their daily lives?
Shalom. I take care of my 81 yo mom. Her n her parents came over from Poland when she was 10. Her father, my Zady, escaped Auschwitz.
Seriously. Americans really like explaining to us why we should feel guilty for their problems when most of European countries were also occupied by the big ones. Poland being exhibit A. I'm Slovene and my grandparents were alive during world war 2 and the only reason they survived was their parents wariness and luck. How do you explain having had to walk past a nazi or a fascist execution wall every day to school to people who havent ever seen war or it's consequences? It gets frustrating.
I know right... Tell that to the Irish when the Brits enslaved them and brought them to the colonies...
and you can say to people "where do you think the word 'slave' comes from"@@roanoke7551
I remember one time i was explaining how i was beaten almost to death just for being white in a black neighborhood. The responses I received were basically telling me to quit whining or that it was retribution or that it's not the same because it doesn't happen as often. Well no matter how common it is, the concussion, two black eyes, broke nose, and fractured skull i received were very real and only happened due to racism that isn't allowed to be acknowledged.
Thanks for giving people like me a voice when we feel like we aren't allowed to have one.

@phantagirlableand if you fight back and beat the black guy's ass then you're racist
I’m sure they were protecting their children. You know white people shoot black people for just existing or walking in their neighborhood. We have to be more offensive against whit people so we don’t die. Black Lives Matter.
You unfortunately need to fight back. Or it won't stop.Go to a martial art course, and defend yourself. Stay safe and keep your head up sister.
Thank you! As a global minority (white) I appreciate you bringing attention to this. Remember WHITE people fought to free the slaves and voted to ensure equal rights! The elites want to divide the nation so they can conquer and enslave us all. Unity is the only way. Love one another as you love yourself. I love ALL even when I’m treated as an oppressor, which I’m not! I teach my children to love and treat all people based on their character and not skin color. We gotta grow up and let go of the past. Whites were enslaved in the 1800’s by North Africans, we’ve all been through tragedies. Let us learn and GROW!!
Someone told me once that I was racist simply because I was white. I just looked at them and said, “No”. They tried to argue with me about it. I just kept looking at them and said, “Yeah, that’s dumb” and walked away. I know who I am and refuse to let somebody else tell me that I’m something I’m not.
I've been through that a few times.
I love how folks who say that ("You are racist because you are white") don't themselves realise the irony in their statement. They are making a judgement and statement about a person based SOLELY on their race/ethnicity. That is, after all, the very definition of racism...
In truth we are all racist... whether or not to the extent where we ARE racists is different. Just like you could catch me being a hypocrite in a hard situation but as a whole person you wouldn’t call me a Hypocrite.

I'm originally from Eastern Europe and when I was in my early teens my family and I moved to the U.S. for two years. I was shocked and confused by all the labels that were suddenly put on me just because I'm white. Dancing can't be my hobby because white people can't dance, I probably don't like my food seasoned, I don't have a culture because I'm white, and I was given really bizzare nicknames like "white bread". The culture shock was massive for me, and I felt so hurt that suddenly I had to fit into this box.
I've lived in several other European countries since, and I've never felt like my race is a factor as much as I did back then. The U.S. is just so obsessed with skin color.
I agree. And I also hate that idea that 'white' is culture negative, like we have no traditions, cultures, clothing. flags, histories etc...just nothing...
I saw this mad American racist talking at Oxford Uni UK and berating the students about it being "national indigenous day"... To a room full of predominantly indigenous Anglo-Saxons. 🤦🏼♀️
She never realized she was insulting every brown face in the room as foreign colonists 😂 So. Dumb.
Believe me, its going to be just as bad in Europe. You just have a smaller number of POC. Although London n ow looks like the Middle East, and they do seem to hate actual British people.
That’s right 😤 and it pisses me off. Like the guy, I also grew up in the 90s & 2000s and NOBODY talk like that, no adult nor child had ethnicities or color in their mindset. I’m white & Hispanic and I never got treated differently until I became an adult and started getting labels bcuz many hispanic people thought I was gonna be on “their level” bcuz of their assumptions on me. I grew up with mainly white American and they were ALWAYS the nicest most kindest people I’ve met, and even now, I could never disrespect white Americans.
You're right, it is obsessed. At least in some areas.
The idea makes money.
For a long time, the push for equal opportunities and not seeing color made money, but then it was successful. It had to be turned around to being important to see color to continue making money.
Doing that is abhorrent.

When you convince yourself that you cannot be morally wrong, it's unimaginable what kind of atrocities you're capable of.
Reminds me of a painter
Unimaginable? Hardly. One only needs to look at the actions of narcissists, high-functioning sociopaths, dictators, domestic abusers, serial killers, the Truly Desperate, and just a brief non-liberal look at history to see what kind of atrocities you're capable of with no moral compass.
As proven by all the violence and riots. It's weird that on both sides are people of all colors.

Hello! South African white guy here who just wants to share something I was taught in school: we all have the right to be treated equally, but this means we ALL have the responsibility to treat others with respect and equality. No person is better or worse than any other. Thank you for appearing in my feed! Love this video, thanks!
Man south África still safe for white people?
Stop hating black people. Why did your ancestors leave you in Africa. You guys still did racist stuff, get out of Africa it’s black continent not white.
I disagree on "No person is better or worse than any other. "
It's actually the opposite. Everyone is better or worse than the others. We cannot be equal unless we are robots with the same motherboard. But it doesn't mean you should feel superior than another because there's always better than you. Deal with it.
I was genuinely raised to be color blind. Not in a deliberate way just in a human way. My parents were kind decent people who treated people based on their character. I spent 9 years in Africa and count many many of the people I met there as my closest friends. I’m tired of this insanity. Most of these people have no idea about history and honestly, not people I would want in my circle of friends as they are horrible human beings
Beautifully said!
Good for you for exposing what I've been feeling for some time now. And the fact that you are a black woman pointing this out means alot to me. Thank you.
Throw some of that hatred at me and I will most definitely do something about it. Ended a professor's career out of it when she, a black female activist posing as a professor, told her whole class that none of us would understand anything she was teaching because we're all white. Firstly, that was a racist and ignorant thing to say, and secondly, it wasn't true. There were many different ethnicities in the room. I, being Cherokee, took massive offense to her comment and walked right out of her room and to the department head. I finished the semester, she did not.

Regardless of what the body that we borrowed for these few years looks like.
One of the best lessons I've ever learned in my life is that the approval of those who can never be pleased isn't worth seeking.

I consider this to be way more of a flaw than a good thing because of how it makes me more likely to be targeted by people like the ones in those tiktoks where anything I do can never be good enough but needing to be good enough to keep them from burdening me. I still have a problem with it, but I've come a long way as you have and I hope you also continue to do well with recovering from this bs.

Maybe we shouldn't support them. This is no longer about fairness - but about power. Power aimed against us (essentially). Worse: also in European countries (and I am from one as well). I am done supporting these people.

It pissed me off that in the nation's where the white people are indigenous.... You're still not allowed to be indigenous.
As a 64-year old white British male, I am absolutely impressed and astounded by the common sense displayed by this young lady. You are doing an extraordinary job in deciphering all this nonsense. Please continue to tell it how it is. Heartfelt thanks.
I echo your sentiments 100% - This is an outstanding video and this young lady is going to go a long way in life and so is Charlie Cheon. It's so refreshing to see the current bulls**t being called out! I am a middle aged white male (the worst of the worst) and I have many fears for my son in this world of racist white hatred. Hopefully videos like this will start to bring some sensibility to the world. We can do better and we should. Many many thanks Amala for bringing this video to more peoples attention. You are doing a FANTASTIC job.
She should collaborate with NoWhiteGuiIt.
She does not hold back and in the day and lack of "common sense," she is a breath of fresh air.

Thanks!
As an old white man who has ALWAYS supported equal rights and stood up for minority people, I'd like to thank you for this video. It is amazing young people like you who will ultimately someday put an end to the ignorance and mistakes of both the past and present. God bless you.
You speak the truth sir. From another old white guy it is so uplifting to see some of the enlightened youth
@@DeonvanJaarsveld Who enlightened you when you were a youth? This is the most sober young generation.
Racism is wrong on every level no matter which race is being racist, i'm white and yes there are black people that I don't like but I don't like them because of who they are and what their attitude is, some people believe that this is racist, how can it be so when there are many white people that I don't like for the exact same reason. I have always looked strait through colour and to be honest don't even notice what colour people are, they are just people but I hate that some think I shouldn't have the right to dislike a black idiot but It's okay to dislike a white idiot.
@@m4rkscott I feel ya man! I'm a black man and I hate black idiots too! I wonder if that makes me a racist!
Really Mr. Parker what have you done?? Since you put it out there enlighten us.
I had a woman yell at me because when her son saw me limping onto a train he offered me his seat. I watched a polite young man shrink into himself because he thought he was in trouble for not seeing a white woman but just a person in need and wanting to help. I couldn't say anything to her. Fortunately, there was an older black man who told his mother off and praised him for being a good person. Hopefully, that man had more of an impact than mom. More likely he didn't.
Thank God for people like that child and kind man indeed. ❤ That poor child has a long road ahead with a racist mother like that, it's cruel to her son to have this hate (and probably fear) pushed onto him. But if you can simply show you're greatful without coming off combative to the mom, and with the help of people in that boys community that's what will help him understand his mother is twisted. Hopefully there aren't many more in his life like her .
That's part of the problem...this is a sort of mass psychosis with the combo of public school indocerination and social media and unregulated racist mainstream media...his mom is unfortunately "validated" by people that want to perpetuate racism.
"I couldn't say anything" - and there's the problem. YES you can say something and you should. Stop letting them silence you
That idiot mother was teaching her son hatred, very wrong.She was living through him. Too chicken shit to directly show her hatred. If he learns from her rather than the older gentleman, he will destroy his future.
@@JS-ys2uk well, that's just your opinion. While I do understand your opinion, I also believe that it's no one's place to step in and comment on how a parent decides to parent, as despicable as it may be. So as much as I disagree with the woman's views, it's her decision to pass these views onto her son, and I would not say anything to her if I were in that position. Then there's also the fact that I'd be terrified that she'd try to fight me. With that much anger, who knows what she might do.
@@jessicafrazon7393 bullshit. All the criminals in the world were raised by shit parents. You can't just standby and watch
"If you are anti racism...if you are anti segregation - then stop perpetuating it." Well said!
Why is segregation rasict? It’s a known fact that we develop through nature and nurture, and what we are exposed to tend to shape our culture. If there is no segregation, then eventually there will only be one acceptable culture. Is that not racist in itself? It’s basically not being ok with other people wanting or enjoying their own cultural groups and differences. Grew up being afraid to date a white person as a white person in fear of judgment. That’s what it’s come down to, true anti segregation. We should just celebrate eachother and be fine with the other existing, we should be able to make our own rules and policies for our own people and what they value and want. Oh wait, isn’t that why countries exist? Mexico was once just a diverse population from all over, they are now Mexican and proud of it. That’s what happens with no segregation. You become your new country people. Thing is, no one here wants to do that. They cherish their ancestral roots, despite the complex of victimhood it brings. Technically comes with benefits in the current political climate. Anti segregation does not make sense with anti racism, it breeds racism during its process until it becomes a unified one, which will never happen with constant immigration. We all suffer for it.
Mad respect to this young woman’s knowledge!! Keep up the great work!
I was bullied and harrassed out of a job by people on working visas - and I explained to my boss how they were being racist at times to me and was told “white racism doesn’t exist”
While we all know it does.
sorry
wow, seriously???
I mean you could have said you were Jewish anti-Semitism seems to have a lot of pull I think what it really breaks down to his the working-class is tired of hearing about are bullied over their skin color just because ignorant degenerate said mean words and made poor assumptions about you isn't really comparable to gettin hung on posts like a piece of strange fruit 🤷
Most of my jobs I had a black manager. Every single one of them gave me nasty nicknames and used me to cover up the mistakes or improper behavior from their black employees. I have been called cracker, nazi, gypsy and whitey. I had one black coworker say to me, "when I become the new manager, I will never have white people in my school" My reply was, " No worries I can fix that". I called HR and transferred to another school.
It's sad that it has to be said by an asian man and a black woman for it to be heard. I feel like if it was a white person standing up for themselves, they'd be shamed into silence. I really appreciate you both for talking about this. And I hope that people can still turn around and be kind to every person regardless of their color.
Elephant in the room tbh. The video is great, his commentary is on-point, and its words everyone needs to hear, but let's not forget that the only reason why it A) went viral to begin with, and B) is leading to positive discussion between different ethnic groups about race, is *because* it's an Asian (aka non-white) person saying this, and not a white person.
If this same video was made by some white guy in his early 20s, he'd be hooted and hollered off social media as a white-supremacist Incel full of white-fragility and toxic masculinity. And anyone who denies that, is a fool.
Have you seen a white person that needed standing up for themselves?
White isnt a thing, your either proud to be Italian, French, Swedish etc. They speak different languages with different cultures. You call them white in USA because you want to erase their unique cultures to Americanized them into a color.
@@WiseFidelista white is a ethnicity, so is black. Both of them are just a mix of different Europeans or Africans. They are so far removed from their own ancestors that they became new ethnicities with very mixed blood from different regions.
@@WiseFidelista but they're very excited by having one grandparent was Irish - and then call themselves Irish. That's a bit weird. Maybe it is because we need to feel part of a group. That said, they can't push 'American-ness' more.
As a white person I have no idea how I'm supposed to act anymore. Everything I do is seen as wrong. Thank you for this video.❤
It sounds like we are to keep our heads down and shut our mouths.
TBF---this is all social media and internet shit. If there are people out there who think this way, I have never experienced any of it in person. If they're talking shit behind my back, I don't really care, other than I'd prefer anyone say what they have to say to my face.
@@loturzelrestaurant I might check it out. I'm honestly not overly concerned about any of this. It's only for me not to be racist to anyone, or discriminatory, and everyone else can do what they will.
The Democrats have lost me on fiscal policy forever simply because I will not vote to spend one dollar to help people who hate me.

I have a simple recipe: be respectful, be helpful, be decent. The people who are angry at white people have their own set of issues, and many are simply jumping on the bandwagon. Unless you yourself caused those issues, there is zero reason for you to apologize or feel guilty.
We can't change what people did in the past. We are not responsible for what people did in the past. We are responsible for one thing: ourselves.
My brother was at a stop sign on his motorcycle and was slammed into by a drunk driver. I don't hold that driver's family responsible, nor do I harbor hatred for them, even though my brother nearly died, has had 4 surgeries, and is still struggling to keep his leg. The driver did it, not the driver's family. I've never owned another person, nor did my parents, nor their parents, nor their parents' parents, and so on. In fact, most of my family immigrated here in the 1920s and 1940s. What we need to do is move forward, rather than stew in the past. Folks need to realize, understand, and accept that there is no one left living to blame for the atrocities that happened before the Civil War, and those who were alive for the segregation years are nearly gone now. The majority of humans are good people who are just trying to make due in an angry environment.
I'm Gen X, and we were taught that everyone was equal. Men, women, gay, straight, all the races, poor, rich, old, young, religious, not religious, etc . . .. We ripped labels off of Everything so neutrality was more easily achieved. We judge people based on how they behave, not where they came from or what they look like. We should go back to that.
How good that at least Asians and Eastern and Central Europeans do not have this guilt/submissive mentality and can tell every woker and any "offended" individual of any race putting labels to go play elsewhere. Weak conservatives start leaning to ruscists (russian fascists) and technologically crippled Muscovy (with appropriated culture except bast shoes and Shchi) in search of support. They can only prohibit abortions and not defend their own culture. How lame and sad. Afraid to defend own rights from aggressive left-wing communists and wokers, observing dictate of minorities and doing nothing, and then voting for some right-wing pro-ruscist idiots.
"Keeping heads down and shutting our mouths" - looser mentality. It means losing political agency. Other will decide things instead of you then.
As mentioned by others, there is ZERO reason to fill guilty for something that was done by someone 100+ years ago. If anything, it is the white civilisation that ended slavery across the globe, brought human rights, created modern medicine as we know it now, brought ability to be heard to masses (internet & blogging), and so on. For example, if Indian government wants to invest in nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers instead of toilets and sanitation, it is their choice. There is no need to blame white people for the lack of toilets in India 70+ years after getting independence.
In few thousand years, people will be telling that during the last 300 years it was the biggest cultural and technological leap after antiquity. Does it mean that this makes white better than any other people - of course not. There is ZERO reason to believe that white people are smarter than others. That is just how the history took its course. Who knows, if Europe had been invaded by Genghis Khan, things nowadays would have been completely different. However, we still should be proud of all the achievements.
And here we are, not being able to defend against few offended wokers. Sad.

As a white woman with a white husband and a white son. I so appreciate this. I feel like we're being vilified. I've been "mama" to all of my son's black friends and some of his white friends. They know us, they know our hearts and they defend us. I never thought we would ever stray so far from Dr. King's dream. What would he say if he could see us today?
It is the swing of the pendulum . whites like it or not are creators of the modern world every thing we take for granted in the modern world was by the grace of white males ,other races will inherit this world as it is ,simply because whites are not multiplying .The worst thing you can be now in Europe is white male .

I take heart in knowing that there is solidarity found between us people who are just against senseless hate... that we know that there are 'people' who walk the Earth together and are truly TOGETHER and not letting petty differences control our future.
I was born into white skin but my mother married a black man and I married a Latino man. What I have learned from family (current and past) of color is that we are more than capable of loving one another and sharing compassion. I have struggled with this topic... even approaching my own Step-Father about racism against white people was so challenging because I didn't want to be seen as racist or hateful for concern.
It took me over 20 years to ask him what he thought about "Reverse Racism" and whether or not you can be racist against white people. I almost started crying when he told me he firmly believes that racism goes for anyone, hate can be directed towards everyone, and that the idea of people of color being incapable of racism against white people is something he disagrees with.
I did start crying while watching this video. It affirms so much that the brainwashing and hate being sent our way for the atrocities of the past is something that others see as wrong too... and not just by other white people who are hurting because of it but by people of color too.
I’m a white American woman. When I was a kid, I ended up at a school with a majority Hispanic population. I was verbally, physically and sexually bullied and harassed because of the fact I was white. It resulted in severe PTSD and a deep fear of Hispanics that I’m still struggling with today. I would see a Hispanic person and would have a severe panic attack.
When I was a teenager, I joined a support group for people dealing with mental health issues and I decided to come forward with my struggles. I got help from the group moderator and I told my story.
I was expecting support and kindness from these people, who I considered my friends. Instead, I was called a racist and told to see my bullies as people who felt threatened by my skin color. One of these people, who I considered my best friend, looked me in the eye and told me “I am so disgusted by you.” It got so bad that the moderator had to end it. I was so ashamed, angry and hurt that I was called a racist that I ended up leaving that group, which was literally my only support system. I wondered if I really was racist for a long time as a result.
My (now late) fiancé persuaded me to get help and even helped me find an expert in PTSD in the county. When I learned the expert was a Hispanic man, I got an attack so severe that I refused to go. Eventually my fiancé convinced me to go for just one session. I didn’t have much hope but I went anyway.
During our first session, my therapist listened to my whole story. When I finished, he looked at me dead in the eye and said “I’m so sorry that happened to you.”
It was a relief to hear someone affirm that what I went through was wrong, that I had been a victim. My therapist diagnosed me with PTSD and we came up with a treatment plan. I’m so grateful for his help and am doing much better.
Now, I fear for others going through what I endured. Being a victim of racism is a horrible experience. You feel like you’re less than human. You wonder what you’re doing wrong. You even hate yourself for something that’s not your fault.
So yes. Racism against whites *does* exist. The very act of saying things like “only whites can be racist” or “blacks can’t be racist” is racism. You’re making broad assumptions about people just because of their skin color. Isn’t that very act racist?
Of course racism exists every where we all have some but your friends colour don't matter if they are really your friend, Your friends should have supported you .Instead they had a need to show bogus virtue. hope you find some better friends
Thanks for sharing and glad to hear you’re doing better.
Sorry you had to go thru with this, I too can relate to this. As a kid I was chased down for being white and I'm bi-racial, it just proves the ignorant of kids or people really are. But mostly I feel that this is taught from a young age.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story. It just goes to show that we all go through some shit in our lives. Be kind. ❤
Hey that strong of you to share. Believe it or not but Americans of Colour that go visit other countries get a rude awakening.. they find out that the rest of the planet is A LOT more racist than "White America", esp anywhere in Asia Proper (from E to W, N to S). For example South Asians have been ranked as THE MOST racist group on the planet by international academic study. Latin Communities are not far behind. Btw, i have a Latin and South Asian Ancestry... so seen it live. Don't fall for the BS (most just don't want to look in the mirror so they attack you instead to feel better). Big Luv to you!
as a white person from a former soviet country, who never participated in colonization, I heard horrifying stories from WW2 of family members killed, taken to camps and never seen again and grew up in poverty and hardship... Im shocked at my treatment by "woke" ppl who are totally unaware of eastern european white ppl and the suffering we have endured!
It is not about truth, reality or history it is about finding a scapegoat for their own failures.
All Europeans have suffered during that war. My family was personally effected. (were are my reperations? :/ ....) Also, why would you mention the colonization? Which has been a normal part of human nature for hundred-thousands of years. It was quite normal at the time and also, if the ones complaining about it would have had the ambition, means and smarts to do it at the time, they would have! Because that is how the world worked.
As a person... period. Keep your racial identity out of it. That's the problem
well in that case, its kinda hypocritical. People from the Soviet Union usually cry about all the hardships they had to endure and the suffering they witnessed, however there you can see what the left lacks to this day : Self-Reflection.
The Hardships brought upon you by the Invasion of the Soviet Unions, wasnt just for nothing.
Brutal Civil War, Brutal Murdering of the Royal Family, starving millions of people to death - on order.
Its like, if you try to make a point that White People suffered, at least give your best in giving an actually self-reflecting view on it. Instead you just say "yeah, communists endured so much".... they got it fucking coming.
The Soviet Union finished its first genocides before Hitler even came to Power. I have yet to meet a Single Human from a former Soviet Country who would aknowledge that the Soviet Union was a Terror Regime, instead they also pull the Victim Card.
The Soviet Union was the Predecessor to todays World and you make it sound like the Soviet Union was a Victim.
@@vorrnth8734 wich is funny, because thats what he (sander mez) is doing right now. He talks about the suffering of people from former Soviet Countrys and how much they suffered during ww2... however People didnt just warn about the Dangers of Bolshevism for nothing. Every Civil War with Communists involved was especially brutal. Or the Holodomor. A Genocide committed by the Soviet Union, in wich millions of People in Ukraine got starved to death.
So yeah, after all... Sander Mez is one of those people who would talk about their suffering, in total ignorance of the suffering that Bolshevism is responsible for.
I'm genuinely saddened as a working class white guy that grew up in the golden years of the early 90's were nobody saw color and we just lived with each other, to see it go so far the other way and now I'm automatically a racist at the least priveliged...when I'm neither.

I just had a weird situation with a friend who was trying to say white people who celebrate their ancestry are racists.

These peoples hypocrisy has no limit.

As a half white, half asian. I've experienced it both ways. I got racial comments because I was Asian about 20 years ago, it wasn't discrimination, just hurtful comments. Now I instead get hateful words thrown at me because I'm part white, and it's much much more hate than I experienced 20 years ago for being part asian.

Same here.
Im sorry that you had to experience that. It breaks my heart
Sorry man.

A minority spewing hate at a larger group is dangerous, to the group doing the spewing as the tolerance of the larger group for this will run out and with it any sympathy for the people from that group who need help.
As a 65 year old woman that is half Chinese and half white, it made me cry that people could be so vicious and cruel with each other. Yes I have been racially abused, but it doesn't mean I have to do the same. We should love and be kind to each other.

I've said this so many times, HATE is taught. There is no color. There is only people. And their actions.
What?! There are MANY colors, many flavors. We are all different, And we are all great. When Oprah's millionare neighbor told her, "Oh, you aren't black, you're a Neighbor" She realised he meant "You aren't what I think of when I think of black people, which is bad". It is not good to say there is no color- be real. The problem is not appreciating the beauty of each color.
If you don't see my color, you don't see me.
Your race color Don’t matter
I’m 63 and we all got along in my day … we were all human ….. I didn’t grow up seeing racism…. I was proud of Canada I’ve how multicultural the country was, and how we all got along we all got along until we were told by the media that we don’t get along.
@@TM-np5lq I think what he meant to say is eg. just because Hitler and I are both white, it doesn't mean that we share thoughts, ideologies and actions. We aren't the same even though we're both white. Same skin colour doesn't connect, we're all different. Just like different skin tone doesn't mean that we are any more different than same skin tone
Hi Amala. I was looking up this gentleman to show my wife, and was happy to show her your reaction. The way you expanded on his already very well spoken point, shows an impressive capacity for insight. Thank you.
I'm half white and half Asian. I look more white than my brother with blue eyes, and he's caught people talking trash on me based on how I look. When they find out they're related, they're shocked and backtrack so fast. This has been the fastest way for him to find fake friends. The trahs takes itself out.
Also, filming people in a grocery store without their consent is weird. TikTok has taught people that boundaries can be crossed for anyone who is white or looks white. Let the people shop in the Asian grocery store. The food there is fire and I would like to have more Asian grocery stores.
They're just jealous
Of your uniqueness
Junko I shall protect you from now on, I'm coming
Yes, I thought that was odd - the person recording was making fun of people that only eat asian food in restaurants - so there is a host of ingredients, foods, etc. that they know nothing about or recognize. Same would be true in an African, Indian, or Moroccan grocery store.
Yeah i didn't understand that bit. I have a feeling the owners ain't bothered about who's shopping there as long as they're spending money 😂
As a white person, I am horrified about what will happen when I become the minority, especially in a generation that has this attitude. It's not because I don't like people of color, it's because I have experienced this racism firsthand all four years of high school.
What I also fear, however, is it swinging back in the other direction, where white people develop racist feelings for people of color because they have been bashed their whole lives for being white.
That is what is happening. The government is terrified of white people noticing and doing something about it, thats why its becoming illegal to defend yourself under any circumstance. This will breed hatred and it will swing back eventually, like a pendulum
That's my concern too. That this attitude will give rise to the KKK again. :(
@@deebraun7488 so you dont care a possible genocide of the white race as long as a certain group of extremists dont appear again, what if the rise of extremists is the only thing that will save the white race. Who are YOU to judge people that wanna live even if it means they will become evil, in what world are you living
All races need to strive for unity. We are all human beings who deserve equal rights. Judging people by the color of their skin is wrong no matter who is doing the judging. We are all individuals.
Agreed I have always wanted friend's didn't care what color you were but things just didn't work out I guess after high school and after having kids and etc you really see who really were your friend and who wasn't
As a white person it makes me happy that people are finally standing up for us. Also I’m gonna say it and I don’t care what people think. The term “people of color” is SO STUPID. First of all if you knew what the term was about and how it was introduced you might not be so proud to use it, and despite white being a color (therefore giving us the right to be “people of color) it’s just now used in our society to further make sure we know we’re not like “other races” and that we need to stay on the sidelines.
Also for colonialism and imperialism I’d like to name a few empires.
The Persian Empire
The Zulu Empire
The Ottoman Empire
The Mongol Empire
The Japanese Empire
The Chinese Dynasties
The Barbary Coast
The Islamic Caliphs
The Incan Empire
The Mughal Empire
As well as many others.
None of these empires are different from the British, German, French, Spanish, or Russian Empires (as they all expanded and committed war crimes,r@pe, slavery and imperialism the only difference is they were not controlled by White People and therefore are no longer “allowed” to be brought up in these discussions.
I don’t see anyone screaming for people of Mongolian decent to apologize to Central Asians, Middle Easterners, South East Asians, and Eastern Europeans for the atrocities of the Mongol Empire when the mongols killed about 10% of the world’s population at the time.
I don’t see anyone screaming for the Arabs and North Africans to apologize to various European countries for the enslavement of about 2 million Europeans taken to the Barbary Slave States or for the centuries long occupation of Spain and Portugal.
I don’t see anyone screaming for apologizes of people of Indigenous American decent to apologize for the atrocities of the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs for their war crimes, cannibalism and human blood sacrifices.
I don’t see anyone screaming for the Japanese to apologize to other South East Asians for the atrocities that Japan enacted in World War 2.
I don’t see anyone screaming about slavery when Africans sold other Africans to Europeans and Arabs. Or the fact that Africa still had vast numbers of slaves.
All peoples throughout history have blood on their hands and if you condemn one you most condemn the others and not choose. Because if you choose that only one race should be blamed for something that all races did, then you truly don’t care about the things you talk about.
No you’re very wrong about the Japan one. Korea is always having beef with Japan because they haven’t apologized for their war crimes and for making Koreans into “comfort women”
Japanese idols working in Korea get even into scandals over being anywhere near the Japanese rising sun sign. Japanese people working or living in Korea still face criticism now and then for being simply Japanese, or celebrating anything from Japanese culture.
Korea has political conflict with Japan because they still haven’t apologized for making Koreans into comfort women, and they deny it ever happened. Japan doesn’t even include that history in their education because they deny it. So yes Koreans still hold a grudge against Japanese people. Obviously not all, but if you read any Korean news you’ll know that this is happening.

I really wouldn't get used to others standing up for you. And nonWhites standing up for Whites. Most who do are for their own benefit. Whites have to learn how to stand for ourselves. Apart from nonWhites like Amala. No offense to her or others who speak for us. They're not White. Unfortunately many Whites choose to not see race. Many choose to dismiss what is happening to Whites. You do not have to hate nonWhites. You have to learn how to appreciate being White. When you allow people to belittle and downplay our White culture and history. To the point it is erased and replaced. You create the environment that Whites are in today.

This is exactly what needs to be said and shared. Racism IS racism. No matter the color of someone's skin, EVERY person can be a racist. Thank you for this video.
Try to be racist to white people. Say something racist about them. Call them derogatory terms Make it really bad! Seriously try, Then explain how it affects white people as a whole. Their employment , education, income, social status.. legal troubles etc.. any part of their life.
The first things you probably thought of were “can’t dance”, “cracker” and “racist” and then you probably got stuck.
Well “racist” isn’t actually a derogatory term but instead describes a person who has certain beliefs/ignorance/ and or acts in ways they view are superior to people of color. “Cracker” also involves mistreatment of people of color as it comes from the noise a whip would make when a slave owner would abuse their slaves. And “cant dance” ..?we know white people can dance and this is a pretty tame stereotype to be given regardless.
But then what about how it affects their education,income, health care received etc. Well we know white people have easier access to health care in general. A study recently showed that black women are dying from child birth in higher rates than white women in the United States. We know white people have an easier time getting hired because or unconscious bias. It was shown recently that black women get paid more than white women for the same job. We know black people receive longer and more severe sentences and legal repercussions than white people for the same law broken. I mean can you name one area where this “racism” towards white people affects them at all?
The reason it’s so difficult to be racist to white people is because white people have never been oppressed. They have always been in power. There are no derogatory terms to describe them because there has never been anyone more powerful than them to make them. They always have had and continue to have the upper hand when it comes to money, eduction, and politics. They built those things, they created the rules, and then they filled all of those places with their own people and put them in charge.
These are all reasons people say white people don’t experience racism. If you still want to be really stubborn and technical and say those things are still racism, cool. But the difference between what black people face in comparison is SO large that it’s obnoxious, inappropriate, comical and dismissive to even bring it up or talk about. It’s like someone getting in a horrific car accident, they have head trauma, limbs lost, burns and internal bleeding and someone is like, okay but this other person has a paper cut.
On top of that, this coming from Prager makes it even more problematic because Prager doesn’t even acknowledge that racism toward black people even exists, in fact they flat out dismiss it. The ONLY racism they acknowledge is “racism against white people”…Actually that’s not true, they do acknowledge racist statements or actions aimed at black people if they were made by a democrat.
True, but I challenge you to find a right-wing Caucasian who believes any race, ICLUDING THEIR OWN RACE, can be racist. Good luck.
100 percent agreed racism is wrong period, and i dont think anyone should minimalize anyones experience with it but also people need to stop generalizing a whole race and stereotyping because not everyone is racist within each culture.
BLACKS WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT WHITES DID. DAMN ANYBODY SAYING WE SHOULD GET OVER IT!

I'm not filling in the blanks, there's a reason for that.
As a British white man born in 1980 it's crazy to see this societal regression in regards to racial hatred. My formative youth years where the 90s and early 2000s where racial equality and respect for all cultures was pushed and taught and for the most part the message was received because no one wanted to be an arsehole.
we are not white... all shades of brown, ultimately we are spirits in a flesh body... start there.
Welcome to the world of marxism.
Sadly, I think societal harmony is a state where most people are self aware and need little governing, which does not allow for much power to those at the top.
I've worked at places where management would allow crappy behavior from individuals just so that they could feel their authority when they were "needed" to step in.
Also a Brit but born in 93 and I agree it was the same when I was growing up too!
I’m a white American born in 86 and I was thinking the exact same thing. It’s like the youth of today have backtracked from where we felt that people of other races were just people.
As an old white guy I am so happy to see that some young people of color understand what is going on. This is the first of your videos I have watched. I just subscribed to your channel.

My 11 year old daughter is swapping from public middle school to homeschooling for 7th grade. We moved from Portland to Texas (originally from Memphis, TN not Portland) to escape the insanity... this entire school year she has been relentlessly been bullied for being white. She treats everyone with kindness and respect, skin color isn't something she thinks about. She had no concept of racism prior to entering middle school. I know bullies are every where, but it seems like kids are being actively taught to hate. Her public middle school had a program called No Place For Hate... thank goodness I looked through the slideshow the school sent out to parents first. It openly said white people are privileged and everyone else are victims. (If you want to see screenshots, I got 'em) They taught that to 6, 7, 8 graders. I actually kept my daughter home that day and we watched Charlie's video instead and discussed it. He touched on so much she's been having to cope with at the school. I asked her why she wants to try homeschooling and she said, "it will help my mental health". That's a pretty solid reason. We did homeschooling during lockdown and she did really well with it. She's very social and we've already gone to some homeschool meetups. She already made a few friends her age who treat her with the kindness and respect she gives and deserves.
I can't wrap my head around teaching kids to hate a specific skin color...but divisiveness is exactly what "they" want. It keeps all of us focused on nonsense while the ominous "they" ruin our world.
Instead of teaching racism and hatred, they need to actually be education students about math and science. The United States is falling extremely far behind academically and they know it.
This is sick. You have all my support. Something must be done to change this wave of hatred which helps no one.
That's why I'm pro-segregation.
Segregation is the only solution…racism is natural and will always exist..
"they" is right. I'd love to see those slides.
As a white woman of 66 years, I thank you young people! I feel like I just woke up one day and find the whole world has gone crazy! Judge people by their actions, not the pigment of their skin! I thought racism was a thing of the past. Thank you again for speaking out on my behalf!

Look it up, my comment will get deleted if I say more, it just got deleted.
Two comments deleted
When I was growing up, and I am almost 75, I was NOT taught to think less of black people. We had a black woman who cleaned for us. The only person that I can remember saying racist things, was my new father-in-law, after I had married. This was in 1967, and I called him out on it. He then tried to deny it, claiming that he played golf with a black guy and they were good friends. But now and then his feelings would slip out. His son, my husband, was not like his father. We had black friends over to our home, and we were invited to their home. When I was a child we had a black baby-sitter. We loved her, and she loved us. When I got my first job, I worked in a warehouse. My supervisor was black. She frequently ridiculed me and I asked my black co-worker why? She said, "Because she's a racist". I was shocked. I said, "I thought only white people are racist" She laughed and said, "Girl, black people are more racist than white people!" I was very naive. Later I thought about it and realized that of course some older blacks had experienced racism and it angered them so much that they taught their kids to hate. I can understand that, but if you keep stoking a fire, and throwing more fuel on it, the fire will continue to burn. It had mostly gone away while I was a young mother, but CNN continues to stoke the fire by telling only half-truths in order to further their Marxist agenda. I fully expect my comment to be deleted. They delete so much of what I say.
It WAS a thing of the past but certain people wanted revenge and they taught their kids to hate. It is reverse racism.
As somebody who is borderline obsessed with studying history, it genuinely astounds me how the average person has little to no interest in history, yet get angry/offended by things that happened to other people in the past. Ignoring the fact none of us would be alive if not for history playing out exactly how it did, why do so many people just use history as an excuse to be a shitty person in the present?
Exactly. They don't talk about how it was their own people who sold them or that there were black slave owners. Or that every country on the planet has a history of slavery and that there are currently countries who still have slaves. Also MY ancestors were also slaves. But I have never believed I was owed anything or that the past had any bearing in whether or not I succeed. My failures are my own or if anyone sabatoged me it was someone currently in my life. This whole racism narrative is a lie perpetuated to splinter and fragment the whole of our society. It keeps us weak, vulnerable, distracted and confused which is perfect for a corrupt government to control us and prevent us from seeing what the REAL problems are. And also they don't talk about how it was the Democratic party that did not want to end slavery. It was the Republican side that fought to end it. But the Democratic party uses Gaslighting as their number one form of abuse on us. They lie about lying about which they lied. That party is the one that is racist. They use black people and contort their psyche to make them feel like they are less than all while telling them they are prioritized and adored. Black lives have ALWAYS mattered. It's why we fought to have them freed! White people fought white people. It's crazy how the past is what they say they are mad at but the past tells them that more than half the country fought for them and won and yet they lump us all together as violent racists. Seems to me that we kicked racism out a nearly hundred years ago. It's astonishing that more of them can't see how preposterous this all is.
Especially the fact that they think “white” is a race, they are a category because they have so many races mixed, it’s hard to put them in only one heritage
Do not be astounded. Easily emotional are easily manipulated. Slaves were owned by all races, unfortunately. It's just the modern history and segregation and racism incorrectly associates slaves with black people being owned by white people.
They do have interest in it. They don't like it.... so they rewrite it to fit "modern times."

I'm a Gen Xer. I remember the halcyon days of the late 80s and early 90s when we thought we had this racism thing beaten. Sure, we had some older boomers, but our generation had defeated the monster. The Soviet Union fell. Everything was moving in a positive direction.
Then someone brought a friend to a party. He started telling everyone that racism is worse than ever. The things he was saying made me respond to him, "The only racist person sitting at this table is you." He replied, "I can't be racist. Racism is based on privilege and power. Since I have none, because I'm black, I can't be racist." I replied, "I can't converse with someone too ignorant to understand a simple word." When he started preaching again, I got up and left. This was in 1985.
Our generation were the ones who were ignorant. We sent our children off to colleges to be indoctrinated into the ideas this guy was spouting. We let the socialists take over the government and bankrupt the country. We let you all down. I am personally sorry for this.

@Tom Thumb It is always fun to have people who weren't there tell you what you thought and did.
I wasn't a conservative because they were in there bible thumping stage. I wasn't a democrat because of people like Al Gore and the Clintons. I think the downfall of the US started when Uncle Ronnie sold out the American people to Tip O'neill in order to destroy the Soviet Union.
@Tom Thumb we battled hard in the 80’s and 90’s for equality of all races and my white voice was very important during that time. This last decade it feels like it was all for nothing. No, it is more than a feeling, it WAS all for nothing. Gen Z is the first younger generation that I hate- all proud victims.

While in middle school I almost got expelled for "racism". I was called in as a neutral witness to explain a fight between a black and a white student to the principal & staff. Told them the truth, which was that the black student had started it and also used race-based insults first by calling the other girl a "f*cking white bitch".
(long story short white student's brother got mugged in the street and beaten up, broken bones and all, and black student (whom she wasn't getting along with) overheared her telling her friends about it and loudly said she hoped next time they would kill him, which sparked the argument and subsequent fight.)
Didn't get expelled thanks to my teachers, but I still was forced to write an apology letter to the student I had "wronged" and read it publicly. Which I did. After which she spat on my face. In front of our PE teacher, our entire class and the principal.
The principal's answer? I must have deserved it for being a racist and not siding with her.
(Even funnier is that at the time I was dating the only other black girl in our class and we got along swimmingly. Some racist I was.)
Whenever I think about this (and it's only one of the many things that have happened to or around me) I can't help but think we're fueling racism. If you want to end racism, stop making everything about race. Nobody is inherently right or wrong just because of their skin color.
No group of people should be judged for the actions of others, and you can't change the past, only learn from it and try not to repeat old mistakes.
I just have genuinely no idea how to explain that to that entire generation of people who are so obsessed with "eliminating the whites" and refuse any and all conversation with people whose opinion differs from theirs. Even worse so is that in my country, most of that point of view got here via tv shows and a lot of kids just kinda...assimilated a biased american history as being their own...? (even though that's not the case in the slightest)
You're right. We are fueling racism. I have heard white people I have known my whole life say things recently they never woukd have said before. When I ask them what changed in them they all have the same answer. They've been treated with racism and like a racist by so many minority people that it just sank in. Like the lady and the gentleman (uh oh I assumed genders lol) said in this video, it's a cycle of oppression and we're continuing it.
I had it pretty bad in school back in the 80s and 90s, but nowhere near this bad. This is like, next level shit. Yeah I got bullied and whatever, and teachers were nasty, but it was NEVER about race. In high school I grew the balls to accept expulsion, and told the school to go get bent. But what happened to me, was NOT about race. It was other things I won't get into, but it was NOT about race. Had this racist crap happened to me in middle school, I'd have grown those balls earlier on, because that would have been crossing a line. I put up with a lot of BS in school, but racism would have been one of my lines in the sand. Sorry that this happened to you. I don't envy kids in modern times, they've got it so much worse than I ever could have imagined anything being when I was a kid. Its terrible.

I was born in Montana untill 5 years old I moved to an African American neighborhood in Seattle... Lol I was like mom they hate us here.. over the years I wase tore tf up for being white...phisically and verbally..But besides the hate.. African Americans showed tremendouse love too.. Both the streets showed love and households that took me in as their childrens friends.. it was always the woke square type back then that had issue with me being born white.. but through the years I find it impossible for almost any african American to go through things I wont even go into.. but through all that I choose to see folks as individuals.. ill never hate a race and love or hate folks individually based on their energy.. I learned how to be a father from African American fathers do their thing. Im both greatfull for all the love and scared from the hate. But in my lifetime I find it hard to beleive many african Americans faced the amount of bloodshed and daily racism I endored.. I know there is some but just saying with what I endured I hate some folks but not based on they skin tone.. its what come out their mouths.. These woke racist types tho I hate like I hate the Klan. Wish they all have a painful demise... im through with this mess. But I damn sure dont attribute their evil to a whole race.
I'm mostly Irish, my people have been highly oppressed for ages, I come from a poor family. I honestly lived in my car for months when I was younger.

I'm Hispanic and grew up in South Texas, my husband, who is white, moved there in middle school. Had to switch schools due to excessive physical bullying at his first school. People projected their ideas on him to harm him because he was another "racist white man" before puberty even finished shaping him. This was the early/mid 2000s and it helped get me out of the mindset of those peers, seeing how horribly he was treated despite being such a sweet and kind kid. We were in a 99.9% Hispanic area, school, community, etc as well. It made me ashamed. Now that I'm having a son, I worry that he'll deal with even worse behavior and it's heartbreaking.
I live in south Texas too, and my half white, half hispanic daughters are treated like garbage in school, mostly by the racist teachers. Who can I complain to when the ones in charge are the racists?

Dont worry about that. You cant control what other people think of you and unless it doesnt put you in harms way, f*ck em. Its not your job to make them less prejudice, that shit is all on them and their burden to take care of.
I'm Adhd on the spectrum..And don't give a shit. You have a license to be crazy and get away with it. And believe me your not crazy the atheist world is..Never be afraid to speak the truth. You fear the wrath of man when you should fear the judgement of God. For when you trust God you fear no man.
@wazzadavies5693 "for when you fear God... look what happened during the inquisition, the pogroms, the Holocaust, in Cambodia, China, Russia, Bosnia, Uganda and more, people believed in God where was God, According to the Torah, Haazinou, the destruction doesn't come from God, Humans have unalianable free will. God cannot do anything about it.

@@unclewazza777In Noah's Ark God murders all but 2 of every animal, and all but the 8 people on the ark. As a Christian you'll scoff at this, but I have never committed near xenocide, nor have I ever murdered my children, leaving me morally superior to this god of yours. It can judge me all it wants, but God knows I judge it more than it could ever judge me. Am I gonna burn me in hell for thinking that? Well then God's just proving my point. And I'm not "anti-christian" specifically, I'm simply just anti-religion. I understand that you're "allowed" to attack Christianity but not other religions, and I believe that's wrong as well. We should be equally critical of religions across the board.

@@leahmadalyn maybe in America but it's rare in Australia, at least where I live.
yep we were mostly taught to not be racist but do what mlk said judge by the content of character not colour here in Australia.
@@opeeate we were taught the same. I remember memorizing a short part of MLK I Have a Dream for school in like 3rd grade, around age 8. Thing is here if you're judging someone based off their character and they're a different race/gender/weight than you, you're blamed for judging them by their appearance, not character.
It's actually better if we can stop judging people at all "for their character". Of course, we have to speak out against or curtail behaviours that are damaging, but it's better to love the person and judge the behaviour or words.

Thank you for sharing this. I had a black woman come into my job and was screaming racial slurs at me ( I'm white ) and was accusing me and every white person of being racist and having white privileges. I stopped her and said ma'am, you're doing to me what you're accusing me of doing and being to you. I grew up very poor and have never experienced this privilege I've heard about. I honestly feel like I can't respond to anyone who screams racial slurs at me because if I do I'm accused of suppressing someone's rights. My Irish ancestors were sold to wealthy white people as indentured servants, but according to society that doesn't count as an issue. There's so much wrong in this world and I do not and will never understand the reasoning behind judging solely on skin color. God help and bless us all
Here's the reasoning: jeaIousy

@@TrumpyBear_Armageddon what do black women have to be jealous of tf
@@magobabe4297 Did my observations ring a little too true?
As a 42 year old white man, who was raised by solely a black father from day one of birth, I have seen racism from both sides. I had friends that I couldn't visit anymore in grade school after their parents found out my father was black. I had family on my fathers side that me and my mother could not visit, because they did not approve of us, or treated us badly because they wanted my father to marry a black woman. My point is that it isn't a black or white issue, and it isn't an Asian issue. It's an "everyone" issue. We need to focus on healing ourselves mentally and spiritually. Then we need to work on healing those around us. We need to focus on embracing and understanding each others cultures, and not being seen as trying to be black, or a nerd for showing interest in white culture. We need to forgive the past so we can move forward. We need to unite the clans, cast evil aside, and let love in. The things we could all do together if abolished materialism, and used the negativity we are spreading to create positivity, could be so powerful.
Sadly, so many people aren't interested in uniting as the human race. Too many use pure looks as an indicator of whether they want to accept someone within their culture or not.
I do believe this is the core issue too. I attribute it to people having a lot of time, access to media, many young folks lacking purpose and vision in life. I used to choose drinking to pass time and find purpose. We should all check ourselves first before we point fingers, it's very easy however to not be as hard on yourself as you are on others.
And usually, we claim to hate things about other people which we mostly hate about ourselves.
Wow, nicely said everyone. So cool to come across people being people and not hating. Thanks
We need to learn from the past, so we don't repeat it. To forgive evil, is to give it a new lease on life.
This is why I love learning about different culture. After learning about different groups of people you start to see a lot of similarities every culture has with eachother. Like bill burr said "there's too much info in the world and every group misses a piece". Personally, I think the most important step of decreasing racism is to learn about other cultures. Ignorance is the main cause of racism, the best way to eliminate ignorance is by learning.
Amala, Thanks for this video. I am a child of the 60's and spent much of my early life fighting racism within my family and trying to make the world a better place. As a Straight, White, Christian male, I am the most vilified person on the face of the planet regardless of who I am and who I've been. I wish you luck in whatever endeavors you pursue. For what I see in this video, you are a powerhouse who will go far. Best wishes, Steve
That's what the 60s was ultimately all about. It was meant to lead to this
Poor guy, could find anywhere else to cry at so you picked the internet Infront of everyone?
@Matt Moore You apparently are the embodiment of the worst examples of racism in this video. Did you even watch it before slamming someone yet again? Are you so well trained by politics as to make snide comments without the benefit of thought and any kind of introspection?

I didn't even know I needed to hear this....thank you for appearing as a recommended video ❤❤ and please know I'm always trying to be the best ally I can be to those who need it. But I've also carried a lot of hatred for skin color and even for being born in America at all....
Thank you again for your video ❤
YES! THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES! I am quite disgusted with people blaming me because I am white for what happened in the past. It is completely illogical and wrong thinking. I WASN"T THERE.
The problem isn't nearly only with what has happened but with what continues to happen today. White people will always get the job or get the promotion or get a slap on the wrist when a lengthy jail sentence is more appropriate. Things are still happening and that is the problem. If you think that isn't the case then you are in fact a part of the problem.
I am in 7th grade, and right now I go to a school with mainly black, Asian, and Latino kids. I’m white and Asian, (but I look completely white) and people have bullied me for years and years for it. I’ve been told cracker, untitled google document, unseasoned food, etc. I’ve been to,d I can’t have ANY opinion on ANYTHING that has to do with people of color, or racism, because apparently “I haven’t experienced it”. Even though my whole life I have. I’ve always been put as a second option, or even last just because I look white. Everyone at my school is so freaking racist to white people and it’s sickening. It’s like we can’t even mention a persons ethnicity because we’d be called racist. I’m so sick and tired of all these 12 and 13 year olds thinking they’re grown and know everything about racism. Because they don’t.
Thank you Amala and Charlie Cheon for talking about this. I love you both. *we* love you both. ❤️
aw my friend, i am 35 and i experienced THE SAME thing when I was in 7th grade. (back in 2000). Aw! man! hang in there. dont let them ruin your soul. you seem so intelligent.

Another thing is every single race at one point in the past had slaves or were slaves. I don’t think about color, I think any race can do anything, whether that be struggling or succeeding.
Haven’t we learned that dehumanizing one group and blanket blaming them leads to war?
They dehumanize all groups, The first group dehumanized by tiny mustache man and his band of merry men was the Germans.
And this is were the terrorist label comes from
There are some people in this country who want a race war. Let's leave it at that.
I'm pretty sure that's the point of those leading this new kind of stupid.
This is were genocides of groups not “wanted” comes from as well. Seems pretty up and front in the United States right now.
As s white man. I don't care what any authority or group tells me, I have and will continue to judge people on their actions, not their skin. I have seen real racism and racist against black people with my own eyes and it made me sick enough to speak up about it just like if it was a white, Asian or any other race. We judge people on their character and actions, nothing else.
I’m an Asian adopted by a white family. Once in school, a couple of black boys came up to a pair of white girls in school, said something about it being a national awareness month, and how they had to write letters apologizing for the sins of their ancestors. I just remember going home and complaining about it to my white mom, and she just looked like it was normal.
I have heard how they are being treated, and how they feel helpless when it comes to speaking out about it.
Thank you so much for talking about this. I might be a bit biased, but I do get the perspective of two of these groups. I’m left alone for being Asian, not really expected to speak my mind, but people feel comfortable speaking about their side to me.
I'm a white guy in my mid 60s. When I was 18 I was working in a convenience store in a black area of town when the TV mini-series "Roots" came on. "Roots" was a fantasy show portrayed as a documentary. The guy who wrote the book peddled it as his family's history, but it turned out later that a large part of it was plagiarized, and some of it, particularly the first few episodes, were so absurd that no one remotely familiar with history would have taken any of the serious seriously. Anyway, it was a story supposedly tracing the lineage of the author from his African ancestor.
Of course, the white people in the show were portrayed as abusers, rapists, murderers, and assorted scumbags. And the show, fantasy or not, was very popular. Suddenly I had, for months, black kids coming into the store calling all sorts of names and accusing me of everything you can imagine. I mostly ignored them, accepting the fact that they were young ignorant morons buying BS they saw on TV which is a problem in every demographic. But one idiot in particular really wanted to press it so I pointed it out to him. I said "Look, Dumb-ass, You were never a slave, you've never even met a slave! You've never even met anyone who was ever a slave! And I've never owned a slave and never even met anyone who owned a slave! So what in the hell are you whining about? " He couldn't answer.
yea over the past like 5 years theres been so much racism to white people that i now feel ashamed that i am white, i just want to be treated fair
My favourite is when I'm accused of being a European oppressor. I'm literally from Ireland.

Because of this very problem, the actual cause of it cannot even be mentioned on you tube or anywhere else without it being instantly taken down, shadow banned and YOU facing being cancelled.......BY those very people who propagated it ! it isnt and possibly never WAS about the different colours of peoples skin, - THAT is simply the weapon NOT the cause,
it is ACTUALLY a product of different colours of POLITICS. and if you were to dig deep enough - you would find they have done a brilliant job of setting man against fellow man - it is merely a diversionary tactic to keep the publics attention away from the insidious rise of its intentions and has worked so well for them even THEY can hardly believe how easy it was,
the "people" causing this realised early on that the best way to defeat a political enemy is have HIM do all your fighting for you, they knew that people in the main are easily led and selfish and utilised it, and here is one of its more successful manifestations, do your own research on a certain "11 point plan" from eighty something years ago and see what YOU think ! these people knew EXACTLY what they were setting in place even then........while the rest of us were joyfully oblivious..................SUBSCRIBED.........if you are happy to include a hatefull white male CIS "oppressor" of course lol.

So true! I've always said the world would be better if we all tried not to be assholes. We are all people. Why are we still talking about skin color?
This is my exact philosophy. “I don’t care if you’re black, white, brown or plaid. straight, gay or crooked. man, women or neither. All I care about is, “are you an asshole?””
Help me understand how hating a hater(asshole) makes me any better than the asshole?
People who don't stop at stop signs.
I didn’t know I was allowed to even consider these thoughts. Amala when you said “I hope this video falls on the ears of those subscribed to white guilt or the need to reconcile the acts of their ancestors” I began to weep. I didn’t realize how built up this was in my heart, and to hear you give me permission to not own this guilt immediately caused a physical reaction. Like a hug I didn’t know I was allowed to have. I felt your words more deeply than I feel comfortable to admit.
Because I still feel even wrong in writing a comment because I don’t want the public to know how much these words were so meaningful to me because somehow I might be perceived to be all the things that are said negatively about white people. The last thing I want is to hurt others or be a cause of hurt and I feel like no matter how I feel or what I do or not do I am still ignorant and still unable to understand because I am white.
I want to be part of a solution . And I love to have this permission to even think about these things and to discuss this.
I just finished reading “The Warmth of Other Suns” recommended to me by a white female friend. I hated the book because I hated facing the facts of history. But I read it and I continued reading it. And I just ached and with great sorrow made myself face these stories. I was so so so angry at Jim Crow laws and this era of time.
But I don’t know what to do know about it. I wish I could go back in time and hug every person and look them in the eye see them and celebrate them as an individual . But I can’t. And I just don’t know want my society wants me to do.
But your video has encouraged me to not own this guilt and carry on with showing and expressing kindness to every unique individual and be a listener to empathize with their stories and just hug them now.
Ok..: Posting… with a bit of fear though
I understand this. I am always afraid and feel sometimes like the only way to make them happy would be to not exist, basically to die. I always wished I was another race so this pressure to solve things I have no control over, that happened in our history, wasn't on me. Nobody should have to shoulder what they didn't do; even if it was a relative, it wasn't them. That is like saying every child whose parent raped someone has to live a life of shame and guilt because they have to atone for their parent's sins??? I believe everyone should own up for their own mistakes, but only theirs and not other people's. That isn't fair to put on anyone.
I'm proud of your courage to post this. I could not have said it better myself as I feel the EXACT same way you do and it's really scary to think I might say or do the wrong thing and be labeled as a thing that I am very much against. And then have it come up sooner or later in life that ive been labeled as "racist" and it affect my ability to get a job or anything else. These people can literally ruin their lives by labeling them that as well as a transphobe/homophobe/terf etc., no one will want to associate with them. And then we are gaslit into believing poc can't be racist against white people and we deserve the mistreatment while they are doing everything to white people that would be seen as extremely racist if the roles were reversed. And it makes me so sad because I truly believe in POCs rights and I think black women are some of the most beautiful women on the planet. But I am exhausted of constantly walking on eggshells and having to feel ashamed and disgusted with myself just because I'm part white and very white passing. While I do have Caucasian in me, I am mixed race with latina. However I've been made to hate the white half of my race. Your courage for saying this is why I'm saying it too ! I am so relieved I am not the only one who is chronically scared to say the wrong thing in this "free speech" country that could ruin my life.
Remember to forgive yourself and be kind to yourself. Start with today, and treat people of all creeds and colors the way you want 6o be treated. As a white woman, I offer a big hug. ❤
Just be careful about embodying the “white fragility” notion by DiAngelo. That’s toxic.
Hey. I hope you’re all doing well out there.
When those thinking they are on the "right side" of history find out later they were on the wrong side.
A hard thing about growing up is having to wait for others to grow up, too. The sad thing about seeing these kids spouting their hateful opinions on social media is that one day they'll grow out of (hopefully) and those videos will still exist because even if they delete them someone out there is saving them.
Outstanding Amala, As a white male boomer it is so refreshing to hear your age group speak so clearly and confidently and truthfully. Keep it up. Subscribed.
I am a White person and have been frustrated with the racism towards us when I have never done anything towards those people.... this is very refreshing to see people of color (My friends) standing up for us and showing that they too have our backs. Thank you!
What do you mean those people? That’s a racist c statement. You white peopled have benefitted from the the slavery, lynchings and thievery directed to people of color. It’s your time now. The house of cards is falling in the America
I’m sick to death of it as well I’ve never done anything to anyone.
Do you denounce anything that your White ancestors did?
I am a white person: white people don't face racism, usually have NO CLUE what actual racism is, and conflate White Hate from individuals with racism. Racism is a system, not merely an individual act.
It not about what you have done, it’s about what you haven’t done. Due to your ancestors they created a society of people who benefited off this which allows you the privilege and the benefits as well. But now you feel how we have for ages. Use your privilege to change people
I am a white Scandinavian, but I have both Sami and Gypsy in my blood. I have worked as an au pair in the USA. I actually worked for a black Jamaican single mother who was a senior physician. She had received the education with a scholarship and had adopted two daughters of African-American ethnicity. I will never forget the day the 5 year old girl came home and asked me if I had owned slaves. It was black history month. I said that when my parents were children they had barely seen a man with brown hair and black eyes and that my country banned slavery back in the 14th century. It must be remembered that slavery has occurred unfortunately in many cultures and even between people of the same ethnicity. Charles Dickens was actually a child slave during part of his upbringing. In Russia, those with the lowest social status were slaves "self" until the latter half of the 19th century. But even today there are slaves all over the world and many women are marriage slaves. Slavery occurs in all ethnicities unfortunately.
Slavery was banned in the UK in 1086 (by William of Normandy) so no, Dickens wasn't a 'slave' in the sense you're implying. Working his tail off for bad wages, yes, but not a slave. Rusians were serfs.
As far as I can tell.. the world was basically created by white people.. even all the good stuff. It was white people that tried hardest to end slavery and were definitely the most successful in doing so. I live in Britain and can honestly say I know no one who is racist and white... That will change soon.. how long do you think they are going to keep putting up with this??? Built the fairest systems and advanced everything from medicine and science to art and literature more than any other. Without white people where would black people be? Think about it.. who could do without who the most.. whites lives wouldn't be that different without black people. They would still have medicine, electricity, industry, basically everything that racists take for granted every day.. what did they invent or build before the whites forged the way. Nothing.. it's as ungrateful and pathetic as feminism.. yo.. white dudes.. thanks ... Doesn't make sense to thank them as they are long dead right?? You still blame them tho right! Grow up
@@socratesrocks1513 Russians were way lower than serves. They didn’t even get paid and sometimes not even fed. The majority were “krestyane” the peasants. They were owned by the wealthy people to do the labour they were traded or even killed like literal things, and never as a human. Read the case of Saltychikha, and things like that had occurred all the time, with the exception that this one is wildly known. And even after that horrible incident instead of helping these people, The Impress just banned peasants from complaining about their owners. So basically feel free to kill more of these people, welcome to Russian up until the latter middle of the 19th century.
Well from what I've read russians peasats couldn't move without their master agreement, they had no rights, they were worked almost to death and sometimes killed🤔 so like slaves I guess. Well read "Dead Souls" by Gogol. It's about selling and buying names of peasents.
@@socratesrocks1513 There was the wonderful habit that the Royal Navy employed of trolling the waterfront to replenish their ranks from time to time, beating young men unconscious or taking them aboard ship by force in the system known as, "impressment", where it was considered mutiny and desertion, punishable by death for anyone to leave the navy without the captain's consent. This form of slavery could last decades, and the lifestyle aboard resulted in a brutal and often very short life. From this practice comes the term, "press gang", which lasted until 1815. On the bright side, they did not discriminate against anyone who did not come from a wealthy family, and "impressed", them equally regardless of race. Oh, yes, I still remember the new's reel I was shown of a British officer shooting 20, "Sepoy mutineers", in a row, in front of a drainage ditch with his pistol, one by one. It was thought those prisoners of the Great Rebellion too much trouble to incarcerate, so in the interest of "lightening the load", the solution was to feed the crows and vultures. I was eight when I saw that. No worries, all nations and races are equally guilty of similarly horrific practices. It does bring a smile to wonder how someone could believe they are more moral because they stopped being a horrible creature before someone else did. Kind of like, "keeping up with the Jones's".
I have never been racist and yet in the past few years I see I have begun to be a little racist because I'm so tired of the terrible racism I have insured and it seems ok now. I still treat everyone with kindness and love but now I see myself scared of the other races, usually black and I hate that this has happened
