"I did not get to pick what color I was when I started"
"No one does"
So true...
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
You sound quite white lol
*sigh* Yeah...
PEE
Fake deepness
I love how the kid gives no shits about anybody and just wants to play the game
I think that's an attempt at showing how willfully ignorant people are who take the advantages given to them and don't see the struggles of other people. Because he lacks the emotional maturity being just a kid, we forgive him.
@@Dreadnaught1985 I agree but also powerless. It's a very tough topic to come up with a solution to.
@@Dreadnaught1985 he's a fucking kid, he doesn't care and doesn't need to know
@@Dreadnaught1985 ironically that kid is what you see in these grown entitled people today, government gave me my wealth and privilege , pull yourself up by your bootstraps slave people, but we don't have boots,

Well, he's an actor following a script. Most likely he understood it, but CH is hoping for the general populace to get it
Back in the 30's or 40's sometime there was a "black" Wall St. The federal government came in, and completely burned it and the surrounding neighborhood to the ground. Most people don't know this because it's never taught in schools. I remember seeing this episode on TV. This is very important. Thank you.
Yes, this happened in Tulsa back in the 1920s. It's amazing how time and time again, black people and their progress in the US have been destroyed and silenced, and it clearly has a systemic effect in today's society.
The US Government didn’t do it but the KKK White supremacist .
Um excuse me but what in the actual

Game was rigged from the start
Nice Fallout New Vegas reference.
That was good
Ha.
What in the goddamn?!!!
time to get vilified
I loved the dad in this one, he portrayed a sense of genuine guilt and distaste upon learning all of this, especially when he heard about where his son was going to school
I was waiting to see if this comment existed. So true. He legitimately looked so damn sad
Now he's in the Max commercial where he kicks out grandma
He was the dad in bog with a blog
Well he shouldn't feel guilt. Guilt is a bad emotion and feeling it because of a situation out of your control is also bad.
@@negativeiqpoints396 He didn't feel guilt; he was learning that he had benefitted from an unjust system that he didn't take part in in creating. With that knowledge, he understands present inequalities and how they were created, and he'll work in the future for a more just society.
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.
Excellent analogy. *insert raccoon stealing your stuff meme*
This is a great analogy thank you!

if you’re black they wouldn’t take your money for the bleaching. they’d say it was “filthy” and tell you to find someone else to do it
Yet its only the whites that need feel shame for their race

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. Thankfully around 2008 a private investor created a privately funded charter school deep in the neighborhood and honestly I owe everything to them. It felt amazing to finally get a good education.
Steve thats great but charter schools are still bad
@Brook Heyes they are privately run schools that are often better than public schools because if they suck they go bankrupt unlike most public schools because they don't have to compete to be the best.
there are a couple in DC. I was supposed to be going to one but we moved, oof
@@umarkamali2249 You'd think that, but that's often not the case. Without government regulation, charter schools often rob the government and the student body of their adequate educations.
yea... this is not true
As a young Mexican American woman in university, hearing stuff like this breaks my heart but it gives me the drive to do the best I can with my life
This is the message that was missing from the video. The message of victimhood is also a false narrative.
@@localresident2332 Dolt, the entire segment is about non-whites being "victims" of racist government policies, although made illegal 50 years ago, the damage red lining did wasn't instantly undone, whites had an almost 50-year head start on building wealth and non-whites are still trying to catch up. So yeah, the false narrative exists in your head
Adam Ruins Everything in a nutshell:
"People in the past were the worst!"
“And it’s making things worse now.”
Only in the past? Hmm... are you sure about that?
they literally say in the video ‘not just the past’
Yea bassicly
Or rich people now
In my elementary school, they combined “red neighborhoods” and “green neighborhoods” to make the schools more diverse. Same with my middle school and my high school. My school is relatively diverse. Not just racially but socioeconomicly.
Nah my is just Hispanic mostly so idk where that really lands me sooooooo
Lianet T your point?
There are schools that are diverse, but people inside them still tend to make friends with people like them or not include people who are different, so it is still very segregated inside the school.
@@NotA_Bird idk when i was there i had friends from all races. My bestie was Peruvian. But maybe it's because I was a foreigner myself when i got to the US so I just talked to everyone. But i guess now that i think about it there definitely were segregated friend groups... but there were also mixed ones...We also had diversity in our teachers, idk... it was a good school in Cali.
LewCrewCubing my high school was like that. By the time I entered high school my family was upper middle class, but I didn’t get along with the upper middle class students that much. Instead I made friends with less fortunate students a lot more than the opposite.
Lmao I came here misreading the title, I thought it said Adam Ruins Subarus.

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.
Nah i feel greatful
At my work (office full of developers and degree holders) I don't see black people and that's the sad fact.

Gabrielle Solis is happy not having other Latinos in Wisteria Lane.
How can thirty-thousand people 'dislike' this? It's factual.
because 30.000 white people can't handle their privilege being pointed out at them and refuse to take acknowledgement of the racist system they as a group created and perpetuated.
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.
@@hi_im_ruka My comment was directed towards Lizandra, I agree entirely with your initial comment.
Racists can’t handle facts it’s funny though 🥱 we see their ignorance

So segregation doesn’t technically exist but still kinda does?
@Absolute Zero That's what I was saying.
Basically: legal, systemic segregation no longer exist (for the most part… compared to before the 50's… yeah mostly) but the effects of that segregation can be felt all the way up to this day.
Sabiki Kasukō that’s what I meant but thank you for explaining anyways.
No, that is just an excuse for losers and I'm Mexican, work hard, you get a nice house
People generally naturally choose to live with people who look like them. Who wants to hang out with someone who doesnt even speak the same language and you cant talk to them? Someone who doesnt share your religion and eats pork when your religion says its an insult to god. How could they possibly get along? They dont.
There is only one thing missing from this video: an answer to "what can we, non-racist white people, do to help?"
That answer isn't just missing from this video it's missing from the whole system.
Congrads. You spotted one of the main questions today. And we are NOWHERE NEAR an answer.
I suppose the first step is to spread and raise awareness like this, and to call racism and ignorance out whenever you see it. We cannot continue to be non-racist, we must be actively anti-racist. If everyone did this, then there wouldn’t be anyone left to reinforce the racist system.
One: Learn and educate others on the hidden history of racism (there's more).
Two: People need to stop saying things like "Get over it. Slavery is over." People never say that to Jews about the holocaust.
Three: Learn truly what "White privilege" means, and stop saying it's nonsense because you don't personally see privilege in you life.
Four: Join in on helping black people make changes through government polices.
Five: If you really want to change America? Take action on what you think can make a difference.
C Houzell I mean, I’m not American, but your pointers are great. Racism is a huge problem here where I live too, and in most of the world, I think. Hopefully we can make a global change.

An excellent, digestible intro to a piece of foundational, yet overlooked US history. Perhaps my most pivotal social experience was stumbling into an Urban Planning program in college. Absolutely fascinating, and absolutely terrifying to learn about the cause-and-effect of very real government policies. Also very motivating to fight for better, more equitable policies.

I'm in 6th grade. Honestly, its shameful that schools dont teach about Americas racist past. I wish schools would educate us when it comes to these problems. I should be learning history from school, not from a comedy channel on RUclips.
It is all by design. They don’t want people to know how one group of people had the advantage over others. They want you to believe it was all “hard work” 😂 💀. Look up the Homestead Act 1862 which was created to give acres of land to white peasants from Europe but at the same time denied black peasants from Africa. Lookup the GI Bill and how it benefited white soldiers while blacks were denied the same benefits.
That’s why Critical Race Theory should be taught to our college communities. People right now think racism was solved by Martin Luther King Jr., but the truth is that racism is a very deep rooted system that impacts people to this day. We need to let the future of our world know of these racist infrastructures so they can change it when they enter it.
@@LordMoonshadowGaGa That theory is just going to make people more racist.
@@rafaeljoseification how?
Not only that, they are now actively trying to stop people from teaching it, because whether or not people are comfortable learning it is *apparently* more important than the history itself.

Of course, not to mention that people still decide very carefully who to sell their house to, and for what price.
Yes it's very common for White People to deliberately lose money when they sell their house just so they can laugh at Black People.
... yikes , idk what kind of fucked up racist mindset you've got but that's not the reason...
@@gwarby643 Well actually when selling property such as homes, people do use race/religion/any sort of background as a factor when deciding to sell or not, many people of different groups do it. So it's not so much a fucked up racist mindset, it's more of a truth that some people don't want to recognize. Like my grandmother's best friend was selling her home, however she didn't want to sell it to someone who wasn't black, she literally held out for 3 days to sell it to a black couple, as opposed to the white person who actually offered more money. "nepotism"

Great we have a problem, Now how do we end poverty?
Dont just yell louder
I think we should start with getting a Universal Basic Income in play. The government should then incentivize companies to Automate Production to the point where people don't need to work all that often anymore. 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. (Housing payment, Food, Water, Electricity etc.)
this is no secret...
(white) people hate hearing about how sometimes america was racist and that some parts of those things still exist today
31K dislikes… people really hate facts huh?

I really like how every case of racism mentioned here is about black and latino people and not a single word about asians
blame the American government and systemic racism
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.
But there are no Asians in Desperste Housewives.
@@eduardochavacano that’s cause they ain’t good for tv lol

The segment about schools was so true omg. I went from a predominantly black school to a predominantly white school and the social economic status was like day and night... at the predominantly black school, I remember we didn't even have an honors or gifted program, so I got put into AP. Once I changed schools and went to a predominantly white school, I began suddenly struggling with the insane change in requirements.
Not all Suburbs are like that but MOST are prominently white
Where is the video that shows the discrimination of Whites?
Affirmative action = racist discrimination against Whites
It's called feminism and black women, specifically the ones you see cussing at their kids and stomping on their dead carcass in the middle of Walmart shopping haul screaming at the top of the lungs "You ruined my life You ruined my life!" Don't deny it, we've all seen it! Most people are too afraid to speak their mind, but not this half-breed!
And I just read the whole comment. Are you a troll? Why add "assault white people"?
jhgjhgj hgjhgdj If a community is equally educated and 15 percent black, wouldn't you expect at least 10 or 15 percent of black people to get the job?

And then disadvantaged schools get closed for being "ineffective" when compared to their advantaged counterparts and are replaced by for profit schools that do not need to hire licensed or experienced teachers. This puts minorities at an even worse advantage.
Exactly. Literally less funding's for everything.
TheReUploadChannel stop lying
Bro the county with the biggest Hispanic and black population has the best school look up Dorman high school. Legit has a cafe bar
Everybody knows a statement like, "you often find home schooled kids out preforming public schools," is really anecdotal, as in, "I like this data, so I'll use it and disregard any data I don't like." Well, actually, everyone doesn't know that, but I sure wish they'd learn it. If you're gonna start your comment that way, I think I'll just skip to a reply and ask that you stop cherry-picking your stats.
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.
Wow, the number of dislikes will really surprise you.

The point of the video is given at the last few seconds: "we can't close our eyes to that"....which is exactly what some people are doing
Handtuch Not what he means or what the video means dude
Who??? Who is "closing their eyes" to history???? I keep hearing this, but I don't see these people. Yes, you can find a few old white men in Alabama, or wherever, but this is not a statistically significant group. They will be dead soon. Let's move on. Yes, the US has some very awful components to it's history. So does EVERY OTHER DEVELOPED NATION. It does no good to self-flagellate over this. It's stupid. Shows like this will get Trump reelected. Is that the goal here?
Tommy Fogarty it's not that people are closing their eyes to history, it's that people are closing their eyes to the aftermath of said history, instead of talking about fixing these systematic racist systems, white people are here in the comments saying about how they're proud to be white and whatever like they missed the ENTIRE point of the sketch
Smoked Sausages What systemic racist systems? We are a majority white country so it makes sense most places you go you see a lot of white people. Blacks were freed from slavery, they were considered equal under law, they were given the right to vote, segregation and discrimination based on color is illegal. What else is there that is within the governments responsibility to do?
“That’s not fair I didn’t get to choose what colour I am at the start”
“Yeah, no one does”

Holy shit, no kidding
It's an obvious truth bomb, but it's a big one. Reminds me of the online game, Rust, where you don't get to pick your race, either. I THINK gender as well, but definitely race.
I thought races didn't exist and we were all individuals?
Ray Swarnau the only time I hear something like that is when a rich white guy says something racist and experiences public backlash
ISOHaven where did that come from? Sure living in a 3rd world country is really bad but that doesn't mean that racism isn't.
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.
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.

It was always more expensive if you were in a power network that handled rural areas because they had to lay so much for power lines than in a city or suburb.
People were always surprised, and it sucked to explain, cause its just so shit to say to someone 'yeah its more expensive just because you live here and not there' but its how it is.

Closing your eyes and wishing it away like the boogie man is not gonna fix it.. At least these guys are humble enough to admit and bring it to light.. Which is the start of solving any issue.. Truth is truth whether you deny it exists or not
The first step to solving a problem is awknowlaging it and making small efforts to solve it.

This hit home when I realized only 1% of the student body at my high school was black lol oof
Andrew. wait there are schools with a whole 1 percent (I’m from Georgia my school is very white)
Same I only know like 3 black people in my school
I can only think of two black people and one Asian girl at my school, and now that I’m thinking about it all 3 of them are adopted and have white parents
Same. Everywhere I've lived is overwhelmingly white, and the school comp has reflected that.
So its a pretty good school then?
I hope these videos never stop. They are SO interesting in how they shed light on rather inconvenient or just unknown truths about HOW things have come to be.
Even then suburbs sucks because you can't have real personal privacy and you get charged extra annual fees just to live there because of HOA and you get told how you should have your own house look like by there own standards which is total BS
@Soda King that is exactly what they are.

I am kind of sad that he didn't use NYC as an example. Despite it being such a diverse city, it has the worst segregation problem in the US. For those who want to learn more about how segregated our society is today, I would like to suggest the documentary "Teach Us All". It is really good and shows us that our country has backtracked.
Giselle Cole I hate to sound jaded and cynical, but that is just human nature. People loke surrounding themselves with the familiar. And as our society gets more and more diverse, people will segregate themselves harder.
Giselle Cole black people want segregation today.... what are you talking about? An ny is the most liberal state in America. Get real.
DooM Guy 83 I don't think you read my comment at all. And even though NYC is a liberal city, it was never properly desegregated, leaving NYC segregated through de facto segregation (segregation by fact, not by law).
Giselle Cole no I read you're comment just fine. Defacto segregation is a choice. People NATURALLY collect with others that look and think as they do. On college campuses now, black kids want safe spaces, black only areas and black only graduation. Nothing you're saying adds up. NYC is a prime example of how your ideology is wrong.
DooM Guy 83 ...i'm guessing you've never set foot on a college campus, its not really like that, sure there are some people that do but their numbers are incredibly small. And to say all of any group want something is just, plain and simply, wrong.
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...
If it was really a choice, then it wouldn't be a huge deal.... but for most people it isnt a choice... which was also outlined in the video, funnily enough
I was so confused by the title considering the suburb I grew up in was very diverse but then I watched the entire video and realized that my neighborhood has only existed in the last 20 years and suddenly so many things made sense
Thank you for realizing the difference between your experience and this video. That's so much better than the people who claim that others' experience is invalid because they haven't experienced it.
From your example, at least, we can see that some people from other races are finally catching up economically to compete fairly in housing. It sucks it wasn't their fault.
I grew up in the same situation and thought that it was kinda the same way everywhere until 11th grade when a new L.A. teacher came to my school from D.C and rambled about how lucky our schools situation was for the first 2 days.
GuyCN That's called a straw, little Billy.
GuyCN same my neighborhood is really diverse and then I looked it up and most of it is less than 30 years old
I lived in a white dominant neighborhood yet the school I went to was diverse. But recently I'm starting to see more latinos moving in the good neighborhoods so maybe latino middle class is rising. Strange how I see more latinos moving out of bad neighborhoods while black folks are still stuck in them.
Also there is a city next to mine that is dominantly latino, this may come off as racist but that was the first time I've ever seen a upper middle class non white latino neighborhood.
I'm curious how that came to be while black folks are still in bad neighborhoods.

I was the seventh white person in my elementary school because none of my white neighbors wanted to send their kids to public schools where the kids "speak Spanish on the playground".
that would honestly be so cool. Kids pick up languages so well that the spanish picked up from school peers could actually be really useful in life.
it's not so fun when you're the only white kid in your class and everybody says things about you in spanish.
Ritvik Chitram+ you're right they did have better things to do than talk behind my back, like talking to my face. this isn't stuff they would whisper and hope l didn't hear. they would call me names in spanish in clear view of me.

Now I understand why the hood in Chicago exists. I always tried to figure why and how but it makes sense totally. Especially the Expressways through the ghetto. Just look at I-290 going to Loop and look at the areas it goes through. Shits wild.
How do you even fix that though..
You need to invest or push for companies to invest in the communities to bring in opportunity, which means more jobs which means more opportunity for improving housing. You need to re-shape the hood yourself and appeal, sadly.
@@nah4467 good luck that's not gonna make the companies more money so they wouldn't give a single shit
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.
@@sivasankar2189 Businesses aren't going to willingly move to poor neighbourhoods. Unless the government subsidizes them then the only option is to move. It's not "running away", it's called making a smart economic decision. Where's the sense in staying in a crime ridden location with no jobs and poor schooling when there are immensely affordable homes elsewhere? Rather than making everything the government's responsibility and adding more unnecessary taxes on third parties why don't people grow a brain and take control of their lives.
You CAN fix it. You have to help to get people of color to get good education. That' what Malcolm X tried to do. Education is the key. To do so, we sure need financial support. In Germany education is free for everybody and you can get a high qualified education wether you are rich or not. Sadly it's obviously not the same in the US..(I am not caucasian..)
In my town, a lot of minorities live where I do, and if I went just a little bit West, it’s a lot of white people. I think I lived in a red area.

I thought there was going to be a solution to the problem at the end, but he just made the dude feel bad and didn't offer up any.
this is only a clip from a full episode on TruTV, that's why.
There isnt “a solution,” I mean what would that even be? Besides giving away all your wealth and retracting from society. The point is to keep these things in mind when making decisions, be it with interacting with people, buying things, teaching, etc... You shouldn’t feel personally responsible (if you’re white) but you should feel the need to think and act progressively and just generally want to help other people out with the benefits and leg ups you’ve acquired by being white.
there is no hope for many blacks, its too late in the game, the white guy in the video has nothing to worry about, government has gave him his wealth, hope he has not lost it.
They do usually give some solution after bits like this, but they are only shown in the full episodes, not on RUclips
The solution is to use this education and new perspective and translate that into electoral results different from how the suburbs currently tend to vote.
I live in Levittown and this is 100% accurate we recently got a spanish restaurant down the road and its a hot topic . Only allowed bc its owner is white
This should be titled Adam Explains White Privilege
This whole thing sounds horrible unless you are an immigrant like me. Millions of people come to US to escape their tyrannical governments and appreciate freedom this country provides. I came here when I was 19, worked entry level jobs in NYC, my husband didn’t speak a word in English and started taking community college classes all the way up to graduating with DPT degree. Worked 4 jobs to pay off his massive student loans and is still being grateful for the opportunities this country gave him, we are in our 30ies, getting ready to buy a house, debt free and I have an ability to stay home with my child to homeschool him. This may be your past, but opportunities this country presents to you without any help from family, class or race are unbelievable if you are able to quit your privilege/victim mentality and just work, focus on your goals and be frugal with your money.
@@konchokkadro7436 you know not that I don’t trust your random people on the internet...but for some reason I find it very hard to believe your story.
And I also want to point out that just because you a single person became a success that doesn’t disprove a systemic issue stemming back over 100 years.
@@konchokkadro7436 I also feel the need to point out that if your story is true and you immigrated here that means you come from a WEALTHY family. Seeing how the US charges anywhere from 100 to 1000 dollars just to apply for VISA. And that doesn’t even include the lawyer fees required for some VISAs. The VISA program is a program so expensive it is almost exclusively for the rich. Which means from the moment you arrived you had a greater standing than some families who have lived here for generations.
So yes, your class had a lot to do with your apparent success.

Nobody disagrees about the history, they disagree about how if effects today. I think that black people still have the ability to reach middle or upper class.
Besides, the only way you can solve this is by discriminating against white people, and racism doesn’t solve racism.

I've lived in the suburbs all my life, and as annoying and overwhelmingly conservative it is, people in lower income areas and primarily black neighborhoods will never have the same opportunities as I do, and it's not fair. To have the opportunity to invest in your home, raise your children in safe neighborhoods with good schools should be accessible to everyone.
well you can thank FDR for that.
@@Anonymous-wp7lm really? FDR made a deal with senate democrats, he'll block anti-lynching bills that hit his desk if they pushed his new deal through. the same new deal that had NONE of the promised economic benefits for african-americans until altered by republicans later on.
the same FDR who ordered the illegal imprisonment of US citizens of Japanese descent and illegally ordered the seizure of privately-owned gold by executive order.
and let's not get started on how he threatened to pack the court if they didn't stop doing their jobs and strike down his unconstitutional expansion of federal power and influence, which he had the senate numbers to pull off at the time BTW.
He was no LBJ as far as blatant racism goes, but as far as actual crimes and corruption, he was among the worst of the 20th century.
@@Anonymous-wp7lm "it was a bad policy motivated by fear based on very little actual data" like the NFA, which was a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that alcohol prohibition created and did nothing about the gangster problem.
And no, lincoln's first option was removing blacks from the country, emancipation was a fall back because congress did the right thing and stopped him.
FDR, however, deliberately kept citizens in harm's way to push an agenda, one that we now know EXTENDED the depression by an estimated 7 years [according to the foundation for economic education]. And he's the only president i know of until now who threatened to put a bunch of yes men in the court if the court didn't stop doing their job. So there were no checks and balances to stop him.
FDR pulled multiple BLATANT constitutional violations and he was allowed to unchallenged and set dangerous precedents in the process.
