      Grace Bolton yeah it color selection is randomized when we start the game if it wasn’t we all would be white because of the benefits I missed this game when their were no difference in all of our characters when we were all savages except for the herbivores but now this game is all about chance when you play the human class

    2:34: "And this advantage compounded over time."
    This. So very much. The human brain is hardwired not to notice advantages that you possess (instinct left over from humanity's hunter/gatherer days that encouraged you to go out and get more food) so it's extremely difficult to get people to understand how advantages accrue on top of other advantages over time.
    To illustrate this, try playing a few games of Monopoly where the winner of each game (the only person not to go bankrupt) gets to keep 25% of the resources they ended with for the start of the next game. After a few generations-- sorry, I meant rounds of playing like this you will be all but guaranteed to know who will win the next game before you even start playing.

    A couple years ago my red zone mostly Latino neighborhood was like this, schools regularly had cut backs and many art and science programs were canceled.

    If you're white and have a nice home, don't feel bad. Get mad. Get mad at the system that still keeps your neighborhoods segregated.
    Think about whether affirmative action programs are really about giving black people an advantage over whites, or whether it's about evening the playing field that's been stacked up for white people for years.
    Vote. Support initiatives that help enrich black neighbourhoods and abolish discriminatory practices.
    If at work you find out you're payed way more than your peers, you don't feel bad for yourself, you support your colleagues in asking for raises. It's the system that's broken, not the players.

      TheReUploadChannel They are. You're right. Therefore, they need higher quality teachers.
      But they don't have the funding for that. They don't even have enough funding for the same quality teachers as predominantly white schools.
      Ironically, the areas where this is going on the least?
      The Deep South. There, there's a lot of poverty in white and minority families alike. And, while poverty is a horrid thing, it means, for the most part, both are on equal footing when it comes to housing. In all it's irony, the racist slave owners of the past created an economy where most white people were already poverty-stricken, meaning that, in the far future, they were the most equal place. In one respect, at least. I'm sure the massive amount of racism and hate that happens there kind of offsets it.

      Lizandra Barboza Sounds like a bit of a jump to your conclusion my friend. I would argue that it’s not just the white people that are mad that they perpetuated a racist thing and can’t accept it. I would argue it’s any person far too thickskulled to comprehend basic fact checks and information, moreover they very well could not at all be unable to except that they’re perpetuating racist practices but rather wish for more of said practices. The fact is people are assholes and and just because people are factually incorrect and total dumbasses doesn’t mean we can rope them into a group and stereotype them otherwise we become just as bad as them.

      Pizzalover346 My comment was based on my immediate shock after watching the video, I’ll be more clear: This problem not an opinion, it’s a fact, so therefore it cannot be ‘liked’ or ‘disliked’. You’re correct, we shouldn’t stereotype people because of their knowledge, any number of circumstances contribute to that. (place of birth, community, illness, etc.) Most you have no control over. Nevertheless, basic human decency isn’t something you can or cannot learn. So, completely disregarding this, even if it goes against some twisted belief, isn’t an option. If there’s a problem, then one cannot ignore it because obviously something’s wrong.

As automation increases taxes on automation should increase allowing the amount of money people get from the UBI to rise. Keep doing this until all basic needs are covered.

      And to even say what youre saying as a point you need to actually understand why those people think that way, which you obviously dont because you missing the OP's point... which was also the point made in the video and a point that's been made across history... segregation doesnt just mean things are separate but they're the same... which is why people fought against segregation in the first place, one side always gets the short end of the stick and THATS the issue... theres a clear correlation between minorities and poverty, crime, poor schooling etc and it all stems from the same thing, as outlined in the video...

We can't make a change for the African Americans, if they are not willing to put effort into it as well. Asians, Jewish, and White, mainly are at the top for Education. The same is for sports which is predominantly African American, and white. White are not the top for either, you don't see much asians playing basketball. We have laws in most University to accept an equal or at least try to accept an equal amount of each race. We do not do the same for sports. Me, being an asian, I have a ton of competition in terms of education, the same is with sports African Americans would have a ton of competition, when laws such as affirmative action which basically lowers the requirement for minorities are placed in University I get pissed off. That like reserving spots on the Basketball team for other races, even if it means that they are not as good. African Americans have more benefits then any other race to be honest. if we want benefits we should give it to everybody. Education is there to have the skill needed to make money and survive, same goes with sports, people pay to get money, to survive.

      Simple answer on an individual level, get a job and leave. Despite the unfair disadvantages, at the end of the day someone is personally responsible for a part of the crime and violence. Nobody needs to do drugs to "escape", jobs and education are available. China and India have much worse funding than the U.S.'s urban city schools and their pupils are kicking the U.S.'s ass every year. It's a difference in mindsets.

Where's the sense in staying in a crime ridden location with no jobs and poor schooling when there are immensely affordable homes elsewhere?

In most fields, having the right connections grants you more opportunities and those connections are forged through how you interact with others and their perception of you (if you work hard, this obviously gives you an advantage) obviously this is a huge generalization and doesn't fit every situation but those variables do help your odds

    Basically, whites get to roll the dice first and get loans + the cost of cheap homes. Through time, those homes are worth millions and they can distribute wealth amongst themselves and maybe start a business. Minorities get any leftovers and do their best to pay their rent. Their parents die and don't pass on any homes or wealth. Minorities continue the cycle while wealth continues to grow amongst white communities. Civil rights goes on which only happened about 50 years ago which isn't long. That's your parents age. Minorities start getting a little bit of help and handouts to even the playing field. The white kids who doesn't realize the handout they got 70 years ago start saying it's unfair and that they aren't getting anything and it's all anti white propaganda. Yeah maybe but hey what about our grandparents who were seeing your grandparents getting handouts... I'm sure they were saying anti minority propaganda.. Just have to face the fact that minorities are getting the help they didn't get 70 years ago...

    Its actually much worse than this. The "rich" "wealthy" suburbs are actually subsidized by the urban core (many are poor renters). The public infrastructure and services needs of the suburbs is much much greater per person. The taxes generated by the suburbs do not cover all the cost to pay for all of it. We are talking about roads, sidewalks, pipes, electricity, storm water drains, parks, police protection, fire coverage, garbage collection, etc.
    The density of the urban core allows it to operate with economies of scale - more people serviced by the same infrastructure and services. This means more tax payers per unit of public services. The urban core have enough tax payers to cover their public costs and then some.
    Suburbs are money losers for city governments, while the urban core are cash cows that transfer wealth to the suburbs.

    • @Basta11

      Let me add that the suburbs also consume more government subsidized energy per person. They pollute more per person and do not pay the externalities. They also benefit much more from federally backed mortgages which favors homeownership which is mostly in the suburbs as opposed to more dense areas where there are mostly renters.

      Asians aren’t that affected. No one should be now a days. If you have a good credit score, you should be alright. Asians tend to have better credit scores, so they get to move in to better areas. Pretty simple. Ask homeowners who the most reliable renters are and they’re usually Asians.

It’s just the black people and other minorities in the red area we’re predisposed to poverty BECAUSE of the previous laws. Great video, Adam, I love what you and your team are doing, I just wanted to point that out. The only people inhibiting the “segregation” (quotes are there because they are no longer separated by race as previously mentioned but the people separated are because of segregation) of these areas now are the racist loaners. Besides them the government and literally everyone else is now against this which we all are happy about.

      Presumably, employment statistics.
      Also, alcohol and caffiene are drugs. Technically, almost any chemical could be considered a drug, but in the case of illegal drugs, marijuana actually has medical applications. And practical applications, for that matter. But the issue is more that non-whites are disproportionately targeted for drug offenses, not that they do more drugs in the same situation. Although, due to events noted in this video, they are more frequently in bad environments which promote drug use.

    I've only spend a few months in the US, but it's sometimes easy to spot a 'black' neighberhood from a 'white' neighberhood, mostly by the way they treat there gardens. The 'black' neighberhoods often leave a complete mess. Not cleaning up has nothing to do with skin color, race, or economical background, so it does not make sense to me that this is seen as an 'explanation' for not cleaning up. Not cleaning up is enough reason to be considered a bad neighbor, while also lowing the value of the other houses in the street. If this was even more common back then, I understand the green-redline stuff. I don't understand why Adam does not defend the other side, simply claiming that all white people were racist as a 'simple fact' without giving a reason as to why they become or kept being racist.
