Because it only shows you a pin-point portion of a bigger picture, almost like selective vision where you only choose to see what you want to see. It is factual, but it only shows the circumstances of a single community as opposed to showing the entire demographics of a multi-cultural society. The fact that this video states a lot of this is being “done” PARTICULARLY to the black community is biased. You have to see America as a nation and like any nation, it will have a power structure. America has one of the most stable and successful systems, which is why many want to come here. The ruling class elites exist and they will always exist and they have built a system that rewards those who compromise and punishes those who won’t conform and adhere to their laws; This is totally fair because it’s their infrastructure and we may contribute as tax payers but they and their lineage has contributed more for much longer. This is where privilege comes into play, if you are related to those who made America possible, are you not allowed a paradigm of your own as your ancestors have had and passed on to you? Who is anybody else whose bloodline contributed only blood, sweat and tears (which is abundantly available within any lineage) to oppose your heritage which practically birthed modernity and its benefits? Furthermore, if we want to make this about race (because it really is about class), in the pre-colonial era it was customary that if a non-related outsider were to enter another culture’s civilization that they show respect to the architecture, laws and ideals built into it. Let’s not forget that America’s infrastructure and intellectual property is a culmination of the most powerful nations’ industrialists’ resources and wealth during the era of its development into what we now currently live in. With that in mind, don’t think of privilege as something that is awarded to individuals, but something that is inherited (which you hate because it implies that you can’t have it) and those who have it rightfully deserve it because they’re attached to it; Their genetics, identities, personalities, ideologies, values, etc.. Anything that defines them are intertwined with their heritage and it won’t change, they were literally bred and groomed for the lifestyle they will inherit. And if you oppose them, that doesn’t make you a SJW, it makes you ignorant and disrespectful to the permissions you are allowed to partake in a civilization that was made to serve everyone, not just you; So curb your victim mindset and self-centered demands. Stop trying to change a system that you didn’t make because nobody would trust a pirate who goes up to the captain of a ship and says, “Look at me. Look at me! I am deh captain now.”.
Well I wouldn't call it factual. When they brought up redlining they used the net worth of a typical white family vs typical black family. They should have done statistics showing white families in that area on one side of the line vs black families in the redline districts. Or hell even black families inside redline districts vs outside redline districst would have been better.
Systemic racism exists because racist people exists. Those racist people will get jobs where they can decide who can or can't get certain jobs and promotions. Who can or can't get a loan etc. The question is how widespread is systemic racism? That question is where people seem to differ.
You seriously overestimate the amount of racists there are in America Also, you clearly aren’t familiar with the legal protections against racial discrimination outlined in the Civil Rights Bill of 64’
A good example of institutional racism is Article 153 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia which even has Article 10(4) to make it illegal to question Article 153 in Parliament. Both of these had made it perfectly legal for the Bumiputera majority to gain more access to quality education, home ownership and others regardless of socioeconomic status and best of all, the non-Bumiputera minorities cannot even question it.
Make the changes??? Change starts with blacks themselves. And so far they haven't even begun to try. Blacks have the easiest life in the USA. To say they're oppressed or anything else is laughable!
The problem is not 'system racism', which does not exist in 2021. The problem is the Black sub-culture that refers to African Americans who elevate themselves through higher education and the proper use of grammar as "Uncle Tom", "Oreo", and "White-washed". The Black sub-culture uses people like Cardi B as a role model instead of Thomas Sowell.
Racism means discriminating people based on their ethnicity (races, actually, don't exist). So, it conveys an INTENTION. When this is structural or systemic, that means it's so subtle that one barely notices it, making it possible to shape our culture and our institutions almost forever. That said, your data don't prove systemic racism actually exists. It only shows how non-whites are at a disadvantage in quality of life terms when compared to whites. Of course we can derive it from the past: slavery, Jim Crow laws, etc. It's clear from those laws that society once WAS racist as a whole. But it's not enough to prove it remains today. You'd have to go further: you have to prove a clear INTENTION to keep things this way. Can you make a compelling case that our institutions maintain non-whites at a disadvantage PRECISELY BECAUSE THEY ARE NON-WHITES? Are there laws, unconscious biases or veiled intentions to harm people based solely on their ethnicity? It's very difficult to say it. The answer depends much more on your perception than actual data. 1) I believe it has much more to do with culture, wealth and other factors than race. 2) We might be oversimplifying the discussion by putting it on a black x white perspective only. What about asians, and Latinos? What about racism among whites or blacks themselves?
I do think the whole idea of systematic racism is difficult to target. Whether the prevalent laws and actions of the past still have an effect today is debatable, but I don’t think that it’s completely irrelevant, as their point about past tax distributions on education does make sense. Higher educated parents statistically lead to higher educated children, and I guess they make the assumption of higher education leading to wealth but that could be debatable depending on the studied field. Also you mentioned about wealth and culture being a larger factor than race, and I would completely agree. Since the video is targeting on past actions and laws on African AMERICANS (and more specifically a sort of trickle down effect from those directly impacted aka the older family members and thus the generations afterwards), then it would make more sense to call it more of a cultural issue, as it wouldn’t make sense to say that current immigrants from Africa would experience said past effects.
When I was arrested and charged, I was denied bail and told by my lawyers that if I did not plead guilty I could be sitting in jail waiting longer for a trial date than the amount of time that they were seeking and that I could be given twice the amount of time or more for not taking "responsibility " if found guilty at trial. So due to those circumstances, I pled guilty knowing that I was innocent, because I didn't want to sit in jail waiting longer for a trial date than the time they were seeking, especially when prison Conditions can be cruel and unusual and trial dates can be unreasonably delayed and convictions can be wrongful and appeals can be often denied. I pled guilty knowing I was innocent because I did not want to deal with the stress, fear, frustration, malice, or the confusion caused by systemic racism. I pled guilty knowing that Elizabeth May Terry (lizzie terry) made false allegations in order to steal twenty-three thousand dollars of furniture and electronics from me in retaliation for cheating with her sister As a victim of systemic racism you do not committ crimes, you just suffer the consequences of crimes like an innocent bystander. Systemic racism made me the victim look like the criminal and the actual criminal look like the victim. Even when you tell the truth they will make you out to to be the liar and then make the actual liar out to be the one telling the truth. They will pick sides without knowing the truth or without seeking the truth, and then concoct or make whatever side they think they can make look like the truth. Everything you say or do they use against you especially in the court of law where everyone in positions of authority are white or have to answer directly or indirectly to someone white. That's white supremacy. Racism, that has been perfected and systematized. I do not need anyone to tell me that I'm innocent when I know that I am innocent. The video proves I'm innocent. The same video that the judge refused to watch. I pled guilty knowing that I did not committ any offense, knowing that I was innocent, just to get out of jail and they knew that. Now that I'm out, I take that guilty plea right back. I giveth, therefore I taketh. I shouldn't have went to jail in the first place. They will lock you up, ruin your life, take everything from you, then release you with nothing. That's racism. They didn't have to lock me up when they knew they was eventually going to release me. They could have released me from the beginning.
@@nnammada973 "most"? Most have not, sir. There are more black men in colleges than in prison, that's a fact. You being arrested and your "most" is because you and your "most" were doing s hit you shouldn't have been doing. Being arrested is the END result caused by YOUR beginning. The same goes with your "most".
Actually affirmative action was put into place to meet diversity quotas. White and Asian being a majority at most colleges, this negatively impacts Asian and white individuals.
Do people really believe this? If I look deep enough, it’s more of systemic discrimination against poverty. I worked at McDonald’s for three years, got a job at Sears after that. Now make over $100k a year. What’s really holding people back? Are they confined to these “zones”?
I still didn't hear any law that currently discriminates against 'black' and 'brown' people. This also didn't address the causation of situations mentioned.
Just because it’s not in the law doesn’t mean racism doesn’t happen DAMN does there have to be a literal written law for you to see that racism still exists in this are you that absent minded.
A true example of systemic racism - Canada's INDIAN ACT? The INDIAN ACT reduced Canada's Aboriginal peoples to legal status as minors. Therefore the Ottawa government of Canada set up a system of apartheid against the First Nations. This discriminatory system must be considered as systemic racism since it is based on laws and principles consciously developed and accepted by the majority of citizens even today. This reality, unworthy of a country that calls itself evolved, largely determines the troubled relations that have existed between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals since 1876. An example of discrimination resulting from this law: The INDIAN ACT does not confer any property rights on the Native people since it is impossible for them to buy the lands in the reserves, this one being the exclusive property of the Crown, Crown which belongs to the British Monarchy to which King Charles III was recently elected non-democratically, in office by blood ties only. This state of affairs therefore limits the ability of Aboriginal people to borrow and reduces their financial autonomy. They have different rights from other citizens simply because of their Aboriginal status. This form of segregation is a blatant demonstration of systemic racism.
@@UnkArch Although I should just tell you to Google Afro-Latino but Imma help you out. Do you realize there were more enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South America than in the US?
Structural, institutional and systemic racism is the perception that everything that happens is a trickle down of some kind of racist event in the past. For example, if a black person is arrested for a crime, it is because of systemic racism; it isn't truly that individuals reponsibility. Or, many black families are broken, fathers in prison or dead, kids not finishing high school or college, mother has drug dealer boyfriend, etc. But it is because of the perception that everthing that happens is a trickle down of some kind of racist event in the past.
@Ab He really doesn't though. He fails to address why those things happen to specifically black children and the easiest point to make would be: poverty. And we could easily go into a whole lesson on the effects of poverty and boom! Systemic racism explained- at least, one aspect of it.
This is easilty one of the most pompous comments I've seen in a while. I'm a Political Science major at UCLA and I'm proud to be apart of a generation of young people who don't think like this.
For all of your saying systemic racism didn’t exist. Just look up Tulsa race massacre or even the war on drugs and how they affected the black community. However I do belive systemic and institutional racism don’t exist anymore
White privilege is kind of fair if you look at it as which race contributed the most into literally making the American lifestyle. As a minority, I don’t mind if whoever founded the civilization I’m living in expresses it’s right to dominance. In simpler terms, Europeans and the nations who traded with them, pre-colonial era, have the rights to the “trademark” (so-to-speak) to the American lifestyle. I would trust the descendants of those who conceptualized the inventions, innovations and infrastructure I’m currently partaking in more as opposed to the descendants of those who were the cause of a civil war, rebellions, upheavals and regimes to overthrow authority to rule and write the laws I would follow in their stead. I am a thankful outsider who was given the chance to live in someone else’s shoes even though I am not even blood-kin. It doesn’t make me submissive, it makes me respectful and grateful to those who lifted me up from my otherwise simpler life. And if I recall from history, slaves were treated fairly if they didn’t break any rules. And also, was it not an African that was the first to trade in African slaves? Anyway, back to my point, who are we to defy the ones who taught us how to live a life we would not have had in our own heritage? The very act of building your own economy in an already established civilization might as well be spitting in the face of everyone who even gave you the capacity to have such ideas; That’s how I view the Tulsa massacre. I think we should help the ones trying to develop society to higher standards rather than trying to literally copy them and taking their ideas so you can make it your own. Improve on what’s already there without trying to make it conform to your own ideals as America was a project conceived by industrialists from a few nations that didn’t involve any indigenous peoples. To even be here to enjoy the benefits of living in modernity without being related to those who made it possible is a blessing and I feel that those who were enslaved were given a chance so that their descendants may live in the future their masters have planned. It’s like this, your bloodline wasn’t even part of the plan but you’re here anyways.
@@bbanks4351 Slavery has existed for millennia, it was part of the spoils of every war. Every race has been enslaved at one point or another, it’s how the pyramids were built yet you don’t see anybody trying to tear those down. In wars of the past, the dominating force and victors of the war usually get to enslave the losers. And exerting dominance was not about a race being superior to another, it was about territory, that was what colonialism was all about, it was expanding a nation’s territorial claim. When colonials came to Africa and saw that it was nothing but tribes living in primitive settlements, they proposed trade with their tribal leaders and that’s how the slave trade began. It was a peaceful manner of acquiring a labor force because they could have easily laid waste to those indigenous people the same way the native Americans were dominated. You have to understand that, to the colonials, they were doing nothing wrong, they came from a civilization that was built around war. To them, all they were doing was expanding their territory and acquiring the means to build their colonies. None of them knew what the future would bring and quite frankly, they would have been better off getting their labor force from another continent.. like Asia, Brazil or they could have used their own people, which I’m sure they would have had they known that they would have to deal with a civil war, race wars, rebellions and riots. My point is, there was no plan of a structure for a system that discriminates based on race as it literally is about class and ancestry. Who you are is who your ancestors were and where they came from.
@@bbanks4351 Now if you think slavery is bad and white racists are the worst, you should study up on pharaohs (totalitarian dictatorship) and their empire (an empire is the largest form of civilization). Everyone was a slave except for him, those he deemed worthy and his family. The Pyramids literally stand for the worst kind of slavery where they were treated like mules. They were not given any form of knowledge except for the things that they needed to know to perform their tasks. They were literally worked to death, even if they were ready to keel over, they were still being forced to work to their dying breathe. If the whipping or beatings did not kill them, exhaustion would.

Allah ordered one of the angels to gather a handful of all the different types of the earth’s soils: the black soil, the white soil, the red soil, and all the colors in between these colors; including the soft soil and the firm soil. This angel took a handful from all these different kinds of soil and brought them to Paradise. This soil was mixed with the water of Paradise and from this mixture, the shape of Adam was formed. This is why you find among the offspring of Adam--which includes all people--the white, the black, the red, the yellow, those who are easy, those who are difficult, and those who are in between.
People should not be able to predict and act on the unobtainable thoughts of an employer. Boss: This guy isn’t paid as much. Manager: He’s not doing the job well. Boss: But, he’s on the list that declares he needs help! Boss: Here’s another, a woman who isn’t high paid. What the hell is going on! Manager: She’s not doing the job well either. Boss: But, she’s on the list that declares she needs help! Boss: Here’s another that’s not making a high wage. Manager: They aren’t doing well at their job either, but they aren’t on the list to save, so we may fire them. What should the boss and manager do? A: give more money to only those on the save list even though they aren’t doing well at their job. B: give no raise to those that are not doing their job well. If you answered B, you want human equality
Show me a law or policy that discriminates by race. The best predictor of crime is wealth. Red line law of the past has some influence on the current racial distribution of criminals in the present but the opportunity to receive government education is equal across races
asians generally when immigrating to america, after the chinese exclusion act, they were only allowed in america if they were useful to the american economy. that's why a lot of educated and rich asians immigrated to the u.s. because they would come over with work visas as doctors, teachers, etc. asian american and black american experiences are a lot different and shouldn't be compared.

Minimum wage laws were initially put into place to prevent black unskilled workers from competing with skilled white union workers. Every time the minimum wage increases there is one group that ends up suffering the most and that is young black workers. So the next time someone says we should increase the minimum wage, ask them why they don't like black people.
Here's a true life example of the actual race problem in employment. A Black man applies for a skilled position as a service technician. He meets all education and experience requirements of the position. All the applicants must take a competitive examination on ELECTROMECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY. The Black man scores 97% on the test to make the number one highest score. THREE white males with LOWER test scores are hired. The Black man who made the top test score was NOT hired!

I am saying that there are many extra barriers you have to overcome as a black person to succeed in this country which ultimately takes a toll on your mental health. I believe everyone should be in favor of removing these barriers so everyone in this country can have a fair chance to succeed. America has racism in every sector of it. Obviously many people can still overcome these challenges but think about it like this. If there’s a race and one group gets a head start that group will probably do better than the group without the head start. Some people who didn’t have the head start will catch up but overall the group who had the head start will do better. It’s clear you don’t understand and see what these challenges are and how it creates difficulties for blacks. I name a few for you. Housing: real estate agents and rental housing providers recommend and show fewer available homes and apartments to minorities than equally qualified whites. Wealth: The median black household has less than 11 percent the wealth of the median white household.(being born into money is the biggest factor for future financial success, most born poor stay poor) Police brutality: Black people are three times more likely to be killed by the police. And way more likely to be profiled/arrested Judicially: a Black person is 3.73 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white person, even though Blacks and whites use marijuana at similar rates. Blacks are way more likely to be wrongfully convicted. Medically: Black people are way under prescribed pain killers and other drugs compared to there white counterparts. Workforce: Blacks who are equally qualified as there white counterparts are 33 percent less likely to get a callback for a job interview. Education: the wealthiest 10 percent of U.S. school districts spend nearly 10 times more than the poorest 10 percent(wealth is a race issue in this country) Socially: Micro aggressions, hate crimes, blatant racism. I found these after 30 seconds of google searching I could go on for hours.

Well I wouldn't call it factual. When they brought up redlining they used the net worth of a typical white family vs typical black family. They should have done statistics showing white families in that area on one side of the line vs black families in the redline districts. Or hell even black families inside redline districts vs outside redline districst would have been better.
@@UnkArch If you don't think racism is still a problem in our society, then you're clearly very uneducated on the subject.
Systemic racism exists because racist people exists.
Those racist people will get jobs where they can decide who can or can't get certain jobs and promotions. Who can or can't get a loan etc. The question is how widespread is systemic racism? That question is where people seem to differ.
You seriously overestimate the amount of racists there are in America
Also, you clearly aren’t familiar with the legal protections against racial discrimination outlined in the Civil Rights Bill of 64’
Structural, institutional, and systemic racism tend to maintain negative generational effects.
A good example of institutional racism is Article 153 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia which even has Article 10(4) to make it illegal to question Article 153 in Parliament. Both of these had made it perfectly legal for the Bumiputera majority to gain more access to quality education, home ownership and others regardless of socioeconomic status and best of all, the non-Bumiputera minorities cannot even question it.
This should be shown in schools. Educate the youth so they can make the changes.
@Dark Days thank you
I'm actually watching this because my teacher shared it, sadly not as part of the normal curriculum , but I agree with you

The problem is not 'system racism', which does not exist in 2021. The problem is the Black sub-culture that refers to African Americans who elevate themselves through higher education and the proper use of grammar as "Uncle Tom", "Oreo", and "White-washed". The Black sub-culture uses people like Cardi B as a role model instead of Thomas Sowell.
They're not gonna listen to facts like this. They wanna play the race card for life.
You are totally confused! Thomas Sowell is a paid shill bootlick pandering for white approval and Cardi B is irrelevant.
Racism means discriminating people based on their ethnicity (races, actually, don't exist). So, it conveys an INTENTION. When this is structural or systemic, that means it's so subtle that one barely notices it, making it possible to shape our culture and our institutions almost forever.
That said, your data don't prove systemic racism actually exists. It only shows how non-whites are at a disadvantage in quality of life terms when compared to whites. Of course we can derive it from the past: slavery, Jim Crow laws, etc. It's clear from those laws that society once WAS racist as a whole. But it's not enough to prove it remains today. You'd have to go further: you have to prove a clear INTENTION to keep things this way. Can you make a compelling case that our institutions maintain non-whites at a disadvantage PRECISELY BECAUSE THEY ARE NON-WHITES? Are there laws, unconscious biases or veiled intentions to harm people based solely on their ethnicity? It's very difficult to say it. The answer depends much more on your perception than actual data.
1) I believe it has much more to do with culture, wealth and other factors than race.
2) We might be oversimplifying the discussion by putting it on a black x white perspective only. What about asians, and Latinos? What about racism among whites or blacks themselves?
@Robbie Sarris These factors are influenced by american history, which obviously feature PAST racism, not necessarily ACTUAL widespread racism.
Very well put. I agree that this video seems to somewhat oversimplify the discussion on institutionalize racism and such.
I do think the whole idea of systematic racism is difficult to target. Whether the prevalent laws and actions of the past still have an effect today is debatable, but I don’t think that it’s completely irrelevant, as their point about past tax distributions on education does make sense. Higher educated parents statistically lead to higher educated children, and I guess they make the assumption of higher education leading to wealth but that could be debatable depending on the studied field.
Also you mentioned about wealth and culture being a larger factor than race, and I would completely agree. Since the video is targeting on past actions and laws on African AMERICANS (and more specifically a sort of trickle down effect from those directly impacted aka the older family members and thus the generations afterwards), then it would make more sense to call it more of a cultural issue, as it wouldn’t make sense to say that current immigrants from Africa would experience said past effects.
Interesting that there more than half dislikes as likes. What's there to dislike?
1/3rd of the people disliked not half but yea I get what you mean
This video talks about these things like they're absolutes and only gives part of the data .
When I was arrested and charged, I was denied bail and told by my lawyers that if I did not plead guilty I could be sitting in jail waiting longer for a trial date than the amount of time that they were seeking and that I could be given twice the amount of time or more for not taking "responsibility " if found guilty at trial.
So due to those circumstances, I pled guilty knowing that I was innocent, because I didn't want to sit in jail waiting longer for a trial date than the time they were seeking, especially when prison Conditions can be cruel and unusual and trial dates can be unreasonably delayed and convictions can be wrongful and appeals can be often denied.
I pled guilty knowing I was innocent because I did not want to deal with the stress, fear, frustration, malice, or the confusion caused by systemic racism.
I pled guilty knowing that Elizabeth May Terry (lizzie terry) made false allegations in order to steal twenty-three thousand dollars of furniture and electronics from me in retaliation for cheating with her sister
As a victim of systemic racism you do not committ crimes, you just suffer the consequences of crimes like an innocent bystander.
Systemic racism made me the victim look like the criminal and the actual criminal look like the victim. Even when you tell the truth they will make you out to to be the liar and then make the actual liar out to be the one telling the truth.
They will pick sides without knowing the truth or without seeking the truth, and then concoct or make whatever side they think they can make look like the truth.
Everything you say or do they use against you especially in the court of law where everyone in positions of authority are white or have to answer directly or indirectly to someone white. That's white supremacy. Racism, that has been perfected and systematized.
I do not need anyone to tell me that I'm innocent when I know that I am innocent. The video proves I'm innocent. The same video that the judge refused to watch.
I pled guilty knowing that I did not committ any offense, knowing that I was innocent, just to get out of jail and they knew that. Now that I'm out, I take that guilty plea right back. I giveth, therefore I taketh.
I shouldn't have went to jail in the first place. They will lock you up, ruin your life, take everything from you, then release you with nothing. That's racism. They didn't have to lock me up when they knew they was eventually going to release me. They could have released me from the beginning.

A true example of systemic racism - Canada's INDIAN ACT?
The INDIAN ACT reduced Canada's Aboriginal peoples to legal status as minors. Therefore the Ottawa government of Canada set up a system of apartheid against the First Nations. This discriminatory system must be considered as systemic racism since it is based on laws and principles consciously developed and accepted by the majority of citizens even today. This reality, unworthy of a country that calls itself evolved, largely determines the troubled relations that have existed between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals since 1876.
An example of discrimination resulting from this law: The INDIAN ACT does not confer any property rights on the Native people since it is impossible for them to buy the lands in the reserves, this one being the exclusive property of the Crown, Crown which belongs to the British Monarchy to which King Charles III was recently elected non-democratically, in office by blood ties only. This state of affairs therefore limits the ability of Aboriginal people to borrow and reduces their financial autonomy. They have different rights from other citizens simply because of their Aboriginal status. This form of segregation is a blatant demonstration of systemic racism.

Long overdue, well-done video for a start. History speaks for itself even if some want to forget it.
@Samuel Leon agreed.
Structural, institutional and systemic racism is the perception that everything that happens is a trickle down of some kind of racist event in the past. For example, if a black person is arrested for a crime, it is because of systemic racism; it isn't truly that individuals reponsibility. Or, many black families are broken, fathers in prison or dead, kids not finishing high school or college, mother has drug dealer boyfriend, etc. But it is because of the perception that everthing that happens is a trickle down of some kind of racist event in the past.
You are willfully ignorant and blind. Please spare us that ignorance. It's plainly obvious you didn't even watch the video.

This is easilty one of the most pompous comments I've seen in a while. I'm a Political Science major at UCLA and I'm proud to be apart of a generation of young people who don't think like this.
For all of your saying systemic racism didn’t exist. Just look up Tulsa race massacre or even the war on drugs and how they affected the black community. However I do belive systemic and institutional racism don’t exist anymore
White privilege is kind of fair if you look at it as which race contributed the most into literally making the American lifestyle. As a minority, I don’t mind if whoever founded the civilization I’m living in expresses it’s right to dominance. In simpler terms, Europeans and the nations who traded with them, pre-colonial era, have the rights to the “trademark” (so-to-speak) to the American lifestyle. I would trust the descendants of those who conceptualized the inventions, innovations and infrastructure I’m currently partaking in more as opposed to the descendants of those who were the cause of a civil war, rebellions, upheavals and regimes to overthrow authority to rule and write the laws I would follow in their stead. I am a thankful outsider who was given the chance to live in someone else’s shoes even though I am not even blood-kin. It doesn’t make me submissive, it makes me respectful and grateful to those who lifted me up from my otherwise simpler life. And if I recall from history, slaves were treated fairly if they didn’t break any rules. And also, was it not an African that was the first to trade in African slaves? Anyway, back to my point, who are we to defy the ones who taught us how to live a life we would not have had in our own heritage? The very act of building your own economy in an already established civilization might as well be spitting in the face of everyone who even gave you the capacity to have such ideas; That’s how I view the Tulsa massacre. I think we should help the ones trying to develop society to higher standards rather than trying to literally copy them and taking their ideas so you can make it your own. Improve on what’s already there without trying to make it conform to your own ideals as America was a project conceived by industrialists from a few nations that didn’t involve any indigenous peoples. To even be here to enjoy the benefits of living in modernity without being related to those who made it possible is a blessing and I feel that those who were enslaved were given a chance so that their descendants may live in the future their masters have planned. It’s like this, your bloodline wasn’t even part of the plan but you’re here anyways.
@@APromisedFavor soo your basically trying to justify that slavery was good
@@bbanks4351 Slavery has existed for millennia, it was part of the spoils of every war. Every race has been enslaved at one point or another, it’s how the pyramids were built yet you don’t see anybody trying to tear those down. In wars of the past, the dominating force and victors of the war usually get to enslave the losers. And exerting dominance was not about a race being superior to another, it was about territory, that was what colonialism was all about, it was expanding a nation’s territorial claim. When colonials came to Africa and saw that it was nothing but tribes living in primitive settlements, they proposed trade with their tribal leaders and that’s how the slave trade began. It was a peaceful manner of acquiring a labor force because they could have easily laid waste to those indigenous people the same way the native Americans were dominated. You have to understand that, to the colonials, they were doing nothing wrong, they came from a civilization that was built around war. To them, all they were doing was expanding their territory and acquiring the means to build their colonies. None of them knew what the future would bring and quite frankly, they would have been better off getting their labor force from another continent.. like Asia, Brazil or they could have used their own people, which I’m sure they would have had they known that they would have to deal with a civil war, race wars, rebellions and riots. My point is, there was no plan of a structure for a system that discriminates based on race as it literally is about class and ancestry. Who you are is who your ancestors were and where they came from.
@@bbanks4351 Now if you think slavery is bad and white racists are the worst, you should study up on pharaohs (totalitarian dictatorship) and their empire (an empire is the largest form of civilization).
Everyone was a slave except for him, those he deemed worthy and his family. The Pyramids literally stand for the worst kind of slavery where they were treated like mules. They were not given any form of knowledge except for the things that they needed to know to perform their tasks. They were literally worked to death, even if they were ready to keel over, they were still being forced to work to their dying breathe. If the whipping or beatings did not kill them, exhaustion would.

This angel took a handful from all these different kinds of soil and brought them to Paradise. This soil was mixed with the water of Paradise and from this mixture, the shape of Adam was formed. This is why you find among the offspring of Adam--which includes all people--the white, the black, the red, the yellow, those who are easy, those who are difficult, and those who are in between.

I’m not saying that it’s impossible to financially further yourself in this country as a black person or any other minority. Although you do know that only 16 percent of people born into poverty escape it by the end of there lives clearly there is a problem. I am saying that there are many extra barriers you have to overcome as a black person to succeed in this country which ultimately takes a toll on your mental health. I believe everyone should be in favor of removing these barriers so everyone in this country can have a fair chance to succeed. America has racism in every sector of it. Obviously many people can still overcome these challenges but think about it like this. If there’s a race and one group gets a head start that group will probably do better than the group without the head start. Some people who didn’t have the head start will catch up but overall the group who had the head start will do better. It’s clear you don’t understand and see what these challenges are and how it creates difficulties for blacks. I name a few for you.
Housing: real estate agents and rental housing providers recommend and show fewer available homes and apartments to minorities than equally qualified whites.
Wealth: The median black household has less than 11 percent the wealth of the median white household.(being born into money is the biggest factor for future financial success, most born poor stay poor)
Police brutality: Black people are three times more likely to be killed by the police. And way more likely to be profiled/arrested
Judicially: a Black person is 3.73 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white person, even though Blacks and whites use marijuana at similar rates. Blacks are way more likely to be wrongfully convicted.
Medically: Black people are way under prescribed pain killers and other drugs compared to there white counterparts.
Workforce: Blacks who are equally qualified as there white counterparts are 33 percent less likely to get a callback for a job interview.
Education: the wealthiest 10 percent of U.S. school districts spend nearly 10 times more than the poorest 10 percent(wealth is a race issue in this country)
Socially: Micro aggressions, hate crimes, blatant racism.
