    Even the ancient Greeks had 3 categories of people, where white was what they called themselves, black was the people from Ethiopia they had contact with, and blond was what they called the Nordic northern Europeans.
    An example of racism was also from ancient Rome where the Roman Emperor Semptimus Averus, while inspecting legionaries in Britannia, met auxiliary troops from Ethiopia and was so disturbed that he ordered the removal of a black soldier from his sight because he was of ominous color and nature.

      Ehh, the Greeks, specifcally Greek men, didn't neccesarily consider themselves white, that would be an insult as much as black. The catagory of Melanchroes μελαχρινής as laid out by Herodotus included Ethipoians *and* Egyptians. They were both dark/black to the Greeks. Though, conversely, the description of dark/black was also used to define black hair or dark features amongst legendarily brave Greek men like Hercules.
      As Aristotle outlines below:
      Οἱ ἄγαν μέλανες δειλοί. ἀναφέρεται ἐπὶ τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους, Αἰθίοπας.
      Those who are too black/dark are cowards; witness Egyptians, Ethiopians.
      -Aristotle, Physiognomica p 6
      But this isn't exclusive, Greek men saw themeselves of middling color, and considered lighter skinned people / Greek women equally cowardly:
      οἱ δὲ λευκοὶ ἄγαν δειλοί. ἀναφέρεται ἐπὶ τὰς γυναῖκας. τὸ δὲ πρὸς ἀνδρείαν συντελοῦν χρῶμα μέσον δεῖ τούτων εἶναι.
      "Those who are too white/pale are cowards as well; witness women. The color that contributes to bravery must necessarily be in the middle of these two."
      -Aristotle
      Aristotle has more to say
      "Why are the Ethiopians and Egyptians bandy-legged? Is it because the bodies of living creatures become distorted by heat, like logs of wood when they become dry? The condition of their hair supports this this theory; for it is curlier than that of other nations, and curliness is as it were crookedness of hair".
      -Aristotle, Physiognomy, book XIV pg. 317.
      For what it's woth the Romans took after the Greeks on this, lumping Ethiopians and Egyptians together and perceiving themselves as a superior goldilocks complexion.
      “The men of Egypt are mostly borwn or black with a skinny desiccated look”. - Ammiuanus Marcellinus
      Also the Severus passage needs to be put in context, here is the full passage:
      Post murum apud vallum visum in Brittannia… volvens animo quid ominis sibi occurreret, Aethiops quidam e numero militari, clarae inter scurras famae et celebratorum semper iocorum, cum corona e cupressu facta eidem occurrit. quem cum ille iratus removeri ab oculis praecepisset, et coloris eius tactus omine et coronae, dixisse ille dicitur ioci causa: Totum fuisti, totum vicisti, iam deus esto victor
      -Historia Augusta, ‘Septimius Severus’, 22.4-5
      Essentially, the Emperor was wating for an omen nervously and the class clown of the legion who happened to be an ethiopian walked up to him with an ominous wreath or garland, and in tandem with his dark color, was an ominous concidence. It was less Severus minding his own buisness and out of nowhere some black guy came up and fundementally freaked him out, he was a well know member of the legion stationed in Brittania. It was just Severus being superstitous and interpreting the rare color of the man (Roman legions composed of people from all over the empire, but peoiple from the periphery, like Ethiopia, were rarer.) in that moment as being meaningful.
      Colorism existed surely, but it would anachronistic to use the term "racism" with race as we understood it. In Roman and Greek Antiquity, behavior was a result of skin color, and this includes gender in contrast to race, discrimination or prejudice resulted from there. More relevently, the colorism struck both ways, and unlike what may would expect, did not align with modern classifications of color.
      Having dedicated a large portion of my life to this myself, there is exponetially more nuance than hasty truisms can provide.

      @@mergenocide The Greeks used the word ξανθός, which translates as white, to refer to themselves because even though the Greeks were darker-skinned, they considered themselves white. Thus they had a separate term λευκός "blond" for truly white Europeans. (λευκός can also be translated as pale, or white, but in this context it was used to refer mainly to blond Europeans who were sufficiently different to be referred to by the Greeks with a separate word. λευκός in this context I would use the meaning that denoted the color of the hair of Achilles, Menelaus, Helen of Troy, or Aphrodite. )
      In the same context, Asians in the Middle Ages were also referred to as white... Marco Polo referred to the Chinese as white, and even Catholic missionaries up to the 18th century referred to the Japanese as white

      If you abstract racism to mean any sort of discrimination based on visual identifiers then sure, but then all identifiers; color, race, ethnicity, etc. conflate and become individually meaningless. It's a very complex subject.
      >It’s not like racial group divisions are based on any logical or scientific differences, and at its root is a kind of colorism no?
      The foundations of Early Modern conceptions of race were based on percieved scientific differences. Currently most proponents of race recognize distinctions based on genetic scientific differences while color may overlap.
      But for sure, descrimination based on color, and other features for that matter, existed for millenia.

      @@LukasZ-y2h
      Yes! I kind of hinted at it with the Hercules references but there is a large overlap with references to things like skin color and hair color as they used the same/similar word, as my Greek is much worse than my Latin, I often rely on context where it seems the same word may referto hair or skin color depending on who is being referred to.
      Also it's intersting how the Far East plays into this, ibn Khaldun in al Muqaddimah has his own tripartite clssification system where, not so coincidently, Arabs (among others including the Chinese) fall into the middle and thus superior partition.
      Moving into the Medieval Period the tripartite system of origination is instead fixed to Noahs sons, Ham, Shem, and Japeth, and we see similar but distinct considerations stemming from this for both Medieval Europe and the Medieval Islamic world.
      Funnily enough, for Medival Europe, the sons of Noah weren't initally doled out based on continent or color, but based on class. Honorius Augustodunensis, a French theologian, in the late 11th to early 12th centuries connected Ham with serfs, Japeth with nobillity and Shem with free men, and that the serf decendents of Ham were bound to experience a greater reward in next world. When the sons of Noah were conencted to continents in medieval Europe it was often counter to our prevaling notions. 14th century English writer Juliana Berners, placed Ham's decednents in Europe as she claimed Europeans were "churlish", the temperate Africans were descendants from Shem, and noble Japeth in Asia. It's so much more complex, and I would reccomend reading Pamela Pattons article in July 2022 issue of Speculum and Thomas Dales article in the Janurary of 2023 issue. They make a solid case that what would be modern forms of colorism (i.e. white = good and black=bad) in regard to skin color cropped up at the end of the Medieval period in Italy and Spain in response to increased contact with the Islamic world. For my part, I would say the more modern European concept of race is largely a result of a synthesis of Islamic sources.
      The speaker in this video lacks a historical background, (tbh, the majority of people who speak about historical issues do) and it undercuts a lot of his points. For what its work the askHistorians post Destiny covers in the latter half of this video sums up the whole controversy beautifully.

      Destiny uses the example of homophobia. If someone says f*g a lot, saying “you’re homophobic” doesn’t really work since a lot of people who use the word just simply like using the word and don’t harbor any actual hate for homosexual people. So when you call them homophobic they think “well that can’t be true because I know I’m not homophobic” and basically stop listening to anything else you have to say.
      If you instead said “I understand you’re not homophobic, but your use of the word perpetuates the hatred and normalizes it to people who hear it that actually are homophobic” you’d have a much easier time changing their mind.

The idea that anyone from my generation would casually engage in anything even resembling anti-black racism is ludicrous. I literally cannot imagine someone saying they wouldn't date a black person. Saying something like that would not only cause you to lose friends, but would likely travel far enough that you'd be avoided by everyone else in your grade.

    He says that black people are not listened to and it should be accepted that they may have some specialized information but the fact of the matter is there's a diversity of thought and experience on the subject among black people. This is another way in which people talk out of both sides of their mouth by saying they aren't a monolith but also every single person who happens to be black must be treated as some PhD of race, when individual experience is generally looked at with suspicion for this very reason AND it's following from his stating that understanding of racism requires this deep dedicated study, which I guess he's assuming that every single black person has done this, which I know for a fact isn't true. Also the point about the difference in how you would talk to somebody who has a misunderstanding versus a hatred is so obvious but I can't believe it wouldn't be granted. It's ironic considering the discussion is about the resistance of people toward ideas of white supremacy and "willful ignorance" and is indicative of why these conversations end up going nowhere. Finally, I find the idea of pretending some of this (not all, I'm sure much of it fairly uniformly granted) history is agreed upon 100% by historians and therefore represents a willful rejection of Truth is disingenuous.

      To be brief after the Union’s victory over the confederacy in the Civil War the project of reconstruction was enacted to correct the injustices done to black Americans. This included a massive undertaking of land and wealth redistribution.
      After Lincoln’s assassination his Vice President Andrew Johnson essentially pumped the brakes on that effort and didn’t fulfill the goals of reconstruction.
      This failure has since permeated our history and a large contributor to our inability to form a class consciousness and unite. It’s a way to divide us when we have far more in common than we realize.

    I'm talking to a guy. Practically dating. He's a cop, or at least in the academy for it. (So unless he fails his tests, he's practically hired. Also already doing cop stuff.) He's as lefty lib as they come, so I get to hear a very very very interesting perspective from him. His coworkers are hyper conservative in the field and many of them tend to say out of pocket things he really doesn't agree with, but kind of like shrugs it off or laughs it off. However, the actual cop training really really really drives home the important of race, gender and race studies, not using your standing in society as a form of authority to abuse the people, how to approach and de-escalate.
    Cop training and the morals they try to instill in you are actually SUPER community based, emotionally mature and very race inclusive.... HOWEVER, the disconnect seems to be the actual older policemen themselves. Whom seem to throw a lot of these things out of the window when it comes to general speak in the workplace. Their politics, the way they conduct themselves and act goes very against what the guy I am talking to is being taught. He told me it's giving him severe whiplash because all of the things he's learning in the academy are things he stands by and agrees with and then he'll have a co-worker tell him how the libtards are ruining America and proceed with radical right wing jargon.

If they were your enemy, you'd say "those people are all scum." If they were allies, you'd say "those people are our good friends."
    What do you think happens when a community is your enemy and it just so happens that you can tell they are from that community because they look different from you? You come up with a concept to differentiate them from you, like um... lets see.... RACE.

    As someone who is Greek (the same as Cleopatra), while we consider ourselves white, we also mainly delineate amongst ourselves based on our nationality. To my eyes, white and black american-born folk are infinitely more alike than white germans and white french folks are, despite both being white. Mainly it's cause you guys actually speak the same language and have roughly the same culture, and what difference does exist between you is not any greater than, for example, villager greeks compared to townsfolk greeks. It's a small difference.
    America also has this weird revisionist history thing going about greeks. I showed my mom Assassin's Creed Odyssey cause they had some folks talk in ancient greek in that game so I thought it'd be cool for her to see, and literally the first thing she said was "why are these people black if they're supposed to be in Greece" lol.

      However the areas he was combative in came across like he was fighting a Destiny in his head and it kinda came across like he was trying to make Destiny out to be a racist for a good portion of the conversation. I don't understand how he supposedly has 15 years of experience on this subject but no nuance whatsoever.
      It felt like he was arguing just to argue because the Destiny in his head was louder than the one sitting right in front of him. And doing so actually proved a lot of destiny's points about how poorly racism/race conversations are navigated in general. I feel like I've seen about 5-6 other black people pop up on Destiny's stream and do the same shit before. But I don't think I've seen Destiny be this calm and charitable which made the guy look even worse imo.

    This dude was definitely right that about the modern construction of race but i guess they didnt discuss at length. Prior to the 1600s and specifically in the classical age that was mentioned people didnt have a structured view of race by skin color and broad genetic associations BUT people prior to this largely viewed other groups of humans as lesser than their group by default and often with hierarchies. Greeks looked down on non greeks, romans thought germanic and celtic people were barbarians(but they likely viewed some groups, like the persian empire of the time, as higher civilizationally than the barbarians to their north), middle ages people thought the muslim world were savages and that the limited parts of asia they had exposure to were godless barbarians etc, and most of the other groups felt the same way, such as arabic people in the muslim world tended to look down on non arabs, like the berbers, even when they had converted to islam. And there was broad, less systematic slavery by a lot of groups toward a lot of groups. So that said, destiny was wrong but somewhat right, a culture/society that was broadly light complexion probably viewed darker complexion people poorly but also viewed other light complexion people poorly.
    Even at the outset of slavery theres evidence that the portugese and spanish who started trading with africans and buying slaves didn't view them as inherently lesser than more than they thought the ottomans or eastern europeans, then as african slavery hiked up and ironically as slavery or near slavery that previously existed for other groups was diminished in europe largely by pressure from the catholic church, the justification for enslaving one group but not the other had to be constructed socially/morally/legally. So the construction of race and racism wasnt exactly a huge paradigm shift, but an alignment of the largest and most powerful european civilizations to view themselves as a group based upon shared genetic lineage and skin against the other groups so that instead of a sort of discrimination of all against all it became a block group against other block groups.

      Calling Arabs "Asian" is a European thing, I don't think any Americans call them that.
      Indians are also kinda their own thing, you'd never see an Indian guy and think "that guy might be Korean"

    Someone should tell this guy if he’s gonna be casually condescending and dismissive he should at least make sure he’s correct…important first step to effective smugness.

    This is the downside of learning a topic but discussing it only with people that agree: the guest is severely underprepared to make his arguments.

    44:13 Destiny would hate me for saying this, but I’m American and have heard other Americans say that Indians are asians. Also I asked my Indian friend to confirm and he said that Indians are asian.

      I've certainly heard people call Indians Asians, but I've never heard of someone describing an Indian as Asian. They are Indian first and foremost and it's how they're referred to in conversation. If you want to say Indians are also Asians, that's cool, but if you were to say you talked to an Asian person, no one would ever think you talked to an Indian person. They would think you talked to a Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or some other similar looking person.

      no shit your indian friend knows indians are asian. thats not the claim destiny is making. He's just saying most americans don't conceptualize indians as asian.

      I think most people mean Eastern Asian when they use "Asian" as a racial epithet.

    Black and white classifications may have started at the moment in time he described, but the idea that racism started in the modern West is utterly nonsense. Just by going off an ancient document, called the Bible, we can see that there was prejudice against Samaritans at the time of Jesus.

      Also the Jews were persecuted for their race/religion for significant portions of the bible...
      Generally your nationality, race and religion were intrinsically tied to each other under the banner term "People" as in "the Philistines are a different People from the Jews"

      That there were even more bad things that happened during slavery and that some laws were made because of race. You know.. the shit that would have no bearing on if someone hates people because of their color.
