There is no MALCOLM X right now. He was a very powerful speaker that spoke with high logic. Even my being Sicilian, I understood pretty much all that he conveyed. The "Powers That Be" always merk the powerful and logical speakers.
By the standards of the 1980s and 1990s I'd be called a Liberal. Today? I'm considered Right wing! Just because I don't hate myself for being white and I acknowledge most black folks' problems are self inflicted. For simply agreeing with Conservatives on PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY white Leftists call me a "fascist".
@@Chenaultchic Free thinking... You know. Kinda how all blacks are expected to be put in a box and vote straight Democrat or get black balled. A free thinker will branch out and have other view points. Possibly even conservative. Kinda like that!
@@Chenaultchic meaning that a person that thinks rationally and isn't easily mislead by other people's agendas is a potential threat to these movements because they can reveal and expose their true intentions.
Nipzzy Huzzle No only black women and I’ve stopped dating those (ratchet,Boujee,Ghetto) btw they liked being called those names I suggest you watch city girls act up video
@@nft7686 lets get one thing straight city girls do not and i repeat do not define all black women. i married a strong black intelligent queen dont ever get it twisted
Ricardo Exactly! A bit like Feminism. Agree with the textbook definition and most of its basic tenets, but the movement itself is ugly and full of shit politics. The idea IS absolutely reasonable but, as usual, people stick their shitty politics and biases into it
I think most common sense people agree with you, myself included. These crazies think 95% of this country is racist, when in reality the exact opposite is true.
I get called a koon for saying things similar to what you do. Feels kinda racist when you have people trying to tell you that you aren't "black enough" and other slurs.
As an Asian-American, it's worse when those slurs come from white people who feel entitled... no, OBLIGATED to use those words because we're not being proper "people of color" and they need to get us back on the correct path. Like, seeing a white person calling a Black man an "Uncle Tom", only because they either voted Republican once or said something nice about President Trump... I can't believe that ANYONE would consider that to be acceptable, but apparently its OK if they're shaming someone from straying off the "proper" way to act and believe.
Actually, it is a form of racism by black people against other black people. There's a documentary on Apple TV called Uncle Tom. It's about black conservative men bein interviewed and in it they talk about bein racially shunned by their communities because they have different opinions than most of the other people in it, one of the dudes even has an award called "Koon of The Year". It really shows how hypocritically stupid people in BLM actually are when it comes to bein against others who don't follow in line like toy soldiers
Honestly I feel the same way about BLM and the LGBTQ. It’s nothing but “inclusiveness” and “acceptance”. I don’t get why it can’t just be “let me live my life and you live yours”.
Exactly. Its all one big political movement and its part of the problem thats tearing the country apart. I believe nobody saw color or anything before these riots and such.
As a black man in America, I can tell you many reasons why our community is hurting. We've maintained our victim card way too long because we continue to ignore the underlining issues that plagued our community for decades. Many can argue that systemic racism is the contributing factor in destabilizing our community, but when do WE overcome being the victim and own up to our responsibilities in the matter? If you can acknowledge the problem and continue the karmic cycle...you're complicit and willing to aid the so called adversary in your own destruction. The Black Lives Matter movement is the embodiment of self proclaimed victims who are being used to push sinister agendas by those who've controlled THEIR narrative from the beginning. They are being coached by wolves in sheep's clothing. Black Lives Matter, you can not see that? We must break that cycled mentioned moments ago with haste because if we continue down this path we will become the very thing we detest. We can no longer hide behind excuses and place blame because it diminishes our message as a whole. Let me ask you a question...Where does our dollar go when we continue to take down our cities? How is our relationship with our brothers and sisters? How's our family structured? Do we even have a relationship with our family? Do we listen to each other? Are we holding our fellow brothers and sisters accountable for their actions? How do we really treat others who think differently than us? LET'S GET REAL!!! WHO ARE WE FOOLING??????? In reality, what are the 3 main things weakening the bl@ck community? F@therless homes, bl@ck on bl@ck crime and @bortions. Yes, you heard me right...and we never want to address these issues because we do not want to own up to our own doings. Instead, we continue to blame others while continuing the destructive behavior. We can demand respect from others all we want, but are we getting our "house" in order? Are we holding ourselves to the same standards, we're expecting from other's? I mean, by failing to look into the mirror, we've allowed this mess to continue which makes us a HUGE target for manipulating and controlling purposes. So, whenever we decide to dive into the realm of cultivating our emotional wellness awareness will show us truth, light and freedom. It will liberate us from the mind prison that was created by the outer world. Also, we must understand the motives from wolves in sheep's clothing. For example, who funds BLM??? It's the same person who funds Antifa....G. Soros!...What are his motives? For one, he does not care about us, neither white, asian, latino, gay, trans and everything else in-between. In order to seek justice we must have honor. I will fight for justice...but I will NO LONGER CLAIM THE VICTIM CARD. WAKE UP!!!
That was an amazing statement. I think you need a bigger podium and a much larger venue. Absolutely well spoken and truly inspirational. I applaud you... please find a way to get your message to the world. We all need to hear it. Every word you just said. Down to the letter...
Yup, even if you actually have been victimized in the past, it's not healthy to constantly think of yourself as "victim" having that "victim mentality." If you talk to real victims out there, overwhelmingly so they will tell you they want to move past it and be strong, not think of themselves as a "weak, helpless victim" forever all their lives now. If you want true empowerment, stop thinking of yourself as a victim. The problem is these days "victimhood status" is basically treated like a currency to be coveted, hoarded and traded. Many don't want to give up the perceived "benefits" that a "victim card" gives them in these overly-PC/SJW times we live in.
@@denvera1612 It already has a big platform. This is what Candace Owen's has been saying for years. Funny though how all these companies and people who are screeching about inequality try so hard to silence a black woman the moment her message conflicts with their narrative. But, yes the more black people that stand up and say this, the better. Shame skin color has to come into play here at all when talking about this but, this is the world we live in.
Personally I never liked joining groups. It leads to being pressured into thought that's not independent. If you say anything different then it becomes a problem.

Socially Distant Andrew pretty much. all the money donated that was supposedly for black communities ended up in the democrats hands for their own fundings etc
Honestly, my issue with the movement, being a black person myself, I feel like we always protest for our rights only to turn around and act like fools, completely contradicting the protest entirely.
@@lamar7575 Yeah, a lot of these movements like BLM, Feminist Movement, Pride Movement, Me too Movement, just to name a few, most of the members who are the loudest ones either have a side agenda or are just doing it to be apart of something and gain benefits. I know in these movements there's good people but, the loudest majority is the bad ones.
@@Vortexnicholas I'm also mad at the rest of the world then adopting the issue that the US has in some areas and then demanding that justice be done in their own country. The US has it's problems in some areas, like police doing illegal stops seemingly only because of race. Aba and Preach just showed a video of someone's dash cam where the guy got a warning for going BELOW the speed limit. Show me where that happens in the UK. There's no reason for them to have a response that the UK is a brutal police state when they keep removing things that the police can do, especially in London.
Or as Tatum once said. They vote Democrat right? At the local level, the Federal level, and so on. BLM votes Dem. Then complain nothing has changed. They still feel this or that? So whyyyyy if nothing has changed do they keep voting Democrat? If you ain't happy then leave or vote for someone or something else. Cause clearly voting Democrat hasn't helped any right?
you took the words right out of my mouth. Baltimore is black majority city which has majority of democrats. It had major riot. I can't call it a race riot because the black are in control.
Because The Democratic Party owned Slaves and The Republican Party did not another reason The Democratic Party created laws to stop black people from having the rights to go public places and there had to be white and colored only.
Because they can’t fathom that. Look at the shithole Cali is now. They’ll move to Texas and turn the state purple, raise the taxes and make it just as bad as where the left.
Remember all lives can’t matter until, Black lives matter... Such a hypocritical statement. Lol All lives do matter obviously. Can’t believe this actually a debate we have to have nowadays.
“That’s actually admitting that they are superior to you.” THANK YOU DUDE! I’m not getting on my knees for anyone, and apologizing for something I had no part in. I would be doing a disservice to myself and the black community, because I AM NO BETTER! You don’t need me, but the second you want my help for a worth while cause, I’ll be there.
The thing is we do need you. As a society and my personal belief every life should be valued, which I feel is the point. I personally don't align myself with anything that has no clear agenda that can be hijacked by others or driven to pointless pursuits, which for whatever pros or cons for a movement BLM is making small progress. Although not enough, wanton destruction being in complete opposition to justice. No one should be cast aside in society regardless of whatever crimes they've caused because when you push a person away continually they'll do what suits them, no one should be beyond being responsible for their lives and the damage they cause. Police, Prisons, and our Current administration advocate and do violence against all communities, the African-American communities just get the worst of it. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - MLK Voting isn't an easy option especially when we're given the option of Two racist white men for our next presidential term. So what is the answer? What is a worthwhile cause?
Sunphoenix I hear you, thanks for giving me a lot to consider. I think people mistakenly think voting is the only way to get anything done. It’s easy to vote and think, “well, he promised this, and that, so I’ll leave it to him.” But nothing ever changes, most politicians are trying to advance their careers, not save the world. Not to say that we shouldn’t vote, but we have to do more because we rely on the government too much to solve all of our problems. In doing so we give them more power than they deserve. We need to, as citizens come together, and think of ways to achieve the peace, prosperity, and equality that we all deserve. But we can’t do that if we can’t agree on how to get it done. What’s going on now, whether BLM or the mainstream media like to admit it, is pure chaos that is dividing us further. We are so far apart we can’t even have conversations anymore. Kindness is out the window and in its place is finger pointing, labels, and public shaming. I’m a firm believer in, “United we stand, divided we fall.” And this? This is the fall. I don’t know what’s worthy, but anything that’s honest is a start, and anything that doesn’t seek to gain, by causing others pain.

Im an older mother now. I raised 6 kids. My job required me to train people the same age as my own kids. I was always helpful & patient to them bc i wouldnt want anyone being a dick to my kid in their workplace. In the end, i was always liked & respected by those young adults....
I didn't know I was a racist till I brought up the gun issue in black communities and how it's an issue that is literally killing these communities and seriously needs solved to help bring those communities out of the daily despare. I'm guess I'm a racist . Oh well I'll keep on saying it
White Liberal: "I acknowledge my white privilege..." What I hear: "I realize I have privilege and that I am better than you. I am here to tell you that I realize you can never acquire what I have. I'm here to offer my privilege to you so you can do something better that without me you are destined to fail. Yes I'm better than you and now I get to feel good on the inside, keep my privilege and help you, those who are incapable of the things I have, please bask in all my privilege and see what is possible." That is exactly what I hear because it's what they are saying..
Brother, you laid it our perfectly of how I've thought on the inside anytime a hear a white person say they acknowledge their "white privilege". They are basically telling you to your face that they feel like they are better than you. I don't see how other black people don't pick up on this.
@@The1Question at this point I don't think we can even blame other black people for not seeing this. It's so entrenched that it's actually part of their identity. The only privilege I believe in is if you had the privilege to grow up in surroundings that instilled in you the foundational building blocks that are important for success. White and black and every other color of poor people living in circular poverty have lost these building blocks. Black people were told by a lot of white people You're no good You're not anything. So they started to believe it. They told their kids either You're no good You're not anything or white people think you're no good or not anything. And instead of believing it became part of them. When I worked for a large retail corporation as a manager on the night shift most of my employees were black. As time went on they got to me I got to know them I would hear them say I'll never be able to get on a day shift because of this because that. So I told one of them one day, that were complaining, what they needed to do. I told them tuck your shirt in per the dress code, when you see the store manager coming in the morning say good morning Brad how are you? If he walks down the aisle or right next to you stand up look him in the eye shake his hand say how are you doing. And wouldn't you know it about three or four weeks later The store manager says to me you know we're going to have about four day shifts open up, Jevon on the night crew what do you think about him coming to days? And I answered honestly I said he's a good worker he does everything I ask him to do. And damn it wouldn't you know it he gets moved to days after a year or more trying. At first he thought I was telling him to suck up to the manager. I explained to him it's not about sucking up It's about showing that you're there. There were a few other things I told him to like if he was taking notes down the aisle say is there anything I need to do better or is this good? He took interest in the job that he did so the store manager took interest in him. It's those simple little building blocks that people who have lived in poverty have just lost I don't know where or how but they're gone. He went on to be a store manager at one of the busiest Walmart supercenters in North Texas. Got married to his other baby's mama got custody of his other child bought a house is doing pretty dang good. And I don't expect praise I don't expect thank yous from no one I don't want to be put on a pedestal It's enough for me to know that his three kids now will see and he can show them things that he was never taught. I believe teaching those who have lost those basic building blocks is the single most important and effective thing white people can teach others who have lost it if they're just willing to listen and put it to use. I know it may sound trivial and many may sit there and say I'm full of shit that that'll never work, he said the same thing. And so did about five others but then saw where it got him and asked me what they could do. Helping those people learn those basic building blocks and put them to use is far more helpful than handouts of money handouts of housing and empty offerings of privilege. I'm thankful that I was raised with those basic building blocks and I could teach someone who bothered to listen how to use them.
and just to top it off, not only is the implication that they are better, but you know at least half of them are disingenuous and don't believe what they are saying, but want to be seen to be all progressive because it's being drummed into them at every turn, and if they say no they get labeled a nazi or racist. i was talking to one of my co-works the other day and at one point she said "but i guess that's part of my white privilege" i was immediately like stfu, people are all individuals, they all have different privileges, some people get dealt good hands, some get bad. that's just life and applies to all. and at the end of the day, did you get where you are because you worked for it, or because some just gave it to you?
@ThatDamnScottishGuy yeah. but a lot of ppl, do put a lot of value in their color. But i agree, hone yer skills and values and be a good member of soceity. Its not hard. And its fun. But iguess some ppl, dont want to and finds it easier to be drones.
Raul Maldonado Btw, for all you know....whoever the OP is, their name might not even be “Bethany”! Let alone, maybe the picture is a FAKE? When you create a RUclips page, you can use ANY name or picture you want. Maybe next time you’ll stop and think about it before you flirt with a random stranger on the internet? 🤣🤣🤣
@Bethany Nichole while I see and respect his point I do think he is over simplifying things. I think being treated equal is not the same as having pity or woe is me attitude. This same argument would not work when it comes to separate but equal law back in the day or when women could not vote. Awareness and movements have a purpose. I'm support black lives matter but I don't need a hand out. There are people on all sides who will take advantage of movements.
I watched this video months ago when this BLM stuff started happening...I was so conflicted about everything from companies virtue signaling...to blind support of a movement because “it’s the black thing to do,” etc. this video really helped refine my thinking...I’m watching this video now after doing research, reading material, listening to different perspectives from different voices (which it’s a shame to say I was never doing this properly because I should have been doing it anyway)...and have come to the conclusion that there is validity to a lot of what you said. It’s so much clearer to me now than it was back then...
I'm white and i never really knew what racism was until the media made a hard push in 2016. My mom never taught me that people were more valuable than others. I was not even taught about where different people came from. My moms family is heavily British and my dads grandmother was 100% native american. NEITHER parent taught me about race. I didn't know my own origins until i was older. I grew up around Black, Asian, Indian, white and never really cared to judge because i didn't know anyone's past. I was just taught everyone is deserving of equal love. Honestly i see that as something that was important for me to grow up with because i never grew up with left and right politics twisting my views on the history of people. At the end of the day people shouldn't have to beg for rights. Everyone deserves freedom.
Yeah. Non of the founder's of BLM have ever disclosed their earnings from their institution. I'm certian they each are making million dollar salaries. Which could mean, BLM makes Billions.
It's always been a dangerous symbolism, and what made America unique is that was a country that purposely made sure the people never had to be forced to kneel out of their free will. The Marxists are trying to change that.
Dude!!! DUDE!!! Maaaaan.......as a Black man in Chicago with a little sense, I would love to personally thank you. There’s so much truth in this video, that I almost screamed!!! Bro......not only your knowledge, but your lyricism. So fucking talented! I’m an outcast in my city because I feel exactly how you feel and KNOW! I just can’t eloquently express it as well as you can. Bruh.....thank you. I need to buy your joints. I really do.
When I was active duty in the Navy, the majority of my brothers and sisters were minorities (i hate using that word) and we had such great conversations sharing childhood stories about growing up in different areas. It was no secret that I grew up in the suburbs and most of my friends came from tougher backgrounds. It wasn't an issue though. We embraced our differences and it created a bond. We were awesome friends and coworkers, we laughed at how we grew up and the experiences we had. We looked out for each other, respected each other, helped when times were tough in personal lives, celebrated birthdays and when kids were born. Nothing was ever about race, it was about being a good friend and shipmate to those around you. I now live in a 99.9% white town and I just roll my eyes when I see the protests and how people are trying to lecture everyone on race relations. I love where I live but not a day goes by where I don't think of all my Navy friends who I only see on social media right now. I'd love to see them again someday and catch up and reminisce over the experiences we shared together. I see so many people just judging the hell out of each other and creating these insane standards that have no basis in reality. People are becoming brainwashed and manipulated, it's sad and frustrating.
Same here, but on the flipside. I had a lot of white friends who stuck with me through thick and thin. Never assume in the military, you will end up looking stupid.
Birch Mahogany Active Army, yes, the military is quite a place to learn and experience many things. One of my good friends from my early years in the Army is now a police officer in Kansas City. Yes he’s black. Yes I miss him. And with everything going on I’m very worried about him, we don’t always get a chance to get in contact with each other. But yeah, I’m worried about him. He’s a true red white and blue man.
Far-right whites keep telling me I should be angry that whites will eventually become a minority in the United States. I usually call them morons for caring because there's never any such thing as absolute racial numerical equality. Am I supposed to expect whites will become oppressed JUST because we become a minority at some point? It's my view that MLK's Dream must be realized and then numbers don't matter.
It is they don't care about so called black men or black people. They would really be active in stopping what's the most dangerous things to black lives but they don't
Really needed to hear this.. I have honestly never felt so terrified in my life to be a black person who thinks rationally. It's a truly scary and isolating feeling
I’m Hispanic and I know how you feel. I hate that we are pigeonholed with those thinking we’re liberal and that we only vote Democrat. Heaven forbid that we don’t follow the narrative to them.
Can I also say that its terrifying to be a white person who thinks rationally and is surrounded by white, black and brown people who think that just because I am white I am inherently racist and should HATE myself! Thank goodness conservative voices provide hope for humanity.
Susan Webster I understand your feelings. I hate that the left has made this thing to have whites like you hate your own race and admit your guilt, even though you never had anything to apologize or admit for.
I've been called not Asian for supporting and voting for Trump. Go figure! So I guess I've been white for the past 37 years? I couldn't be more Wong than them, apparently. I am Asian American, BTW. TRUMPNATION ♥️🇺🇸♥️
It actually hurts my heart that they have such hateful things yelled at them, racially hateful things, even from other black ppl and of course from white liberals!! I read a comment by a young man on a video and he was telling a story about how his own beloved family members were saying such things to him, it honestly broke my heart. It’s not right. The ppl who are speaking up and against what’s going on right now are very courageous and brave bc they know they’ll be attacked, especially the black ppl who are speaking up and against things!! I have the upmost respect for them bc they’re convictions are so strong, that nothing is getting in the way of them speaking up! I make sure to watch those videos, read those articles and threads bc honestly, that’s where I learn even more and hear really good ideas and solutions and things we could be working on together!!

I’m so late, but I love this comment. I’m East Asian and I can’t stand East Asians that only stick with other East Asians because that automatically makes us closer buddies or whatever. I want to be recognized for who I am regardless of what country I am from.
It’s extremely difficult, and at times, scary to speak up in disagreement with the BLM movement. I can’t imagine how difficult it is for a black person to do the same. That takes some serious conviction because the backlash is vicious, even when you approach it in a non combative way. If i disagree, I’m a racist, when that’s the furthest thing from the truth. Half my family is black, and I’ve dated black men. Why does it always turn to race if I disagree? I disagree with the anger and mob mentality and aggressive nature you’re met with if you don’t agree with their rhetoric.

Yeah I got this earlier when I spoke on a post about how I would never kneel to a black woman because it’s like saying I feel superior in some way and I don’t at all ,, then I was called a racist, literally went outta control by me basically saying I don’t feel superior nor do I want to be lol , it’s all very confusing with so many ppl wanting so many things out of the blm movement, a lot of people don’t know what they are protesting for tbh especially here in the uk !
Apologies, but it struck me you could substitute "Triple K" for "BLM movement" in your first sentence and the message would not change. Not meaning to offend, just an observation.
More than any SJW or Ultra-Left activist, your stance is stunning and brave. You risk rejection from many individuals of both races, embrace heavy insults from the black community, and more in the name of using your head and getting to the core of all these complex issues.
It may be my misanthropy speaking, but I follow the tenant of Gunny Lee Emery, “WE DO NOT HAVE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN MY BELOVED [Marine] CORPS! HERE, YOU ARE ALL EQUALLY WORTHLESS!”
Your touching on some great points. Liberals want to keep being funded by programs and foundations. What we need is jobs. I was raised in the hood and did some crazy stuff too. I was always a good kid inside like many others around me. Raised in Oakland during the 80's and 90's. Once I moved out of Oakland 45 minutes away on the freeway....my life changed at the age of 15. I saw opportunity, because people weren't being held back by the leftist system. Students were talking about summer jobs and summer school. Guess what I had when summer started? A job, and I went to summer school to make up credits. I felt like the whole world was like Oakland, until I moved away. They don't know how it feels to be free from real systemic racism. I now have a beautiful family for going on 20 years, and I own Real Estate in Ca. I go camping, hiking, kayaking, archery, and go to the shooting range. When kids from the hood look at me while camping in my tent or RV, I give them that head nod that's a yes we out here. Don't let someone put you in a box. They need to see us enjoying things other than Cars, clothes, and Jewelry. I'm around all races who enjoy life. We need real leaders to bring back the community not profit from it like BLM.
You are a success story, and you bring up a good point about the "smothering mother" archetype that is embodied by traditional liberals. Just like the mother with the child that lives in the basement in their 40's, the traditional liberal establishment will institute programs to "help" you, but you can never leave, and you will never have autonomy. Congratulations for figuring this out. You have set into motion something successful that will last for generations. Your kids are lucky.

Nick den Toom I triple dare you to post all lives matter and see the response for yourself. Idk how “all lives matter” is racist in any way shape or form
@BC Depends on what definitiom of racist you mean. Typically when white people say racist they mean the individual hating of another race. You mean institionalized racism, that's a Marxist ideology. Those at the top can only be the oppressors. The problem with this ideology is whomever reaches the top needs to be taken down. It's nothing more than a cycle of stupid ideas.
I forget where I heard this from but it really struck home the reality of things. That if you want recognition and respect essentially, you need to become undeniable and whatever it is you're pursuing. begging for attention and acknowledgement is pretty pitiful and something that I wouldn't want for myself or anyone else.
In my view, BLM the organization, intentionally ignores the history of the civil rights movement in America. Fredrick Douglass, Booker T Washington, MLK, Malcolm, The Black Panthers, Afrocentric's, and countless other groups and individuals, all had very different ideas. The civil rights movement is specifically the organization of people and exchange of ideas. Today there is little of that going on and this has been the case for a very long time. In 1911, Booker T Washington wrote the following (I did not edit the mans words which are not in fashion today out of respect); "There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."
The lives they lived back then, were astonishing. You'd think there would be a few blockbuster movies about these people considering how unbelievable their actual lives were. Booker T, is one of the most iconic American heroes I can think of, and he's only an individual in a sea of people. These people left us their wisdom, and it's in the library.
I read both Douglass' and Washington's biographies. I admire both men and wish everyone would be more aware of them. They're incredible men with remarkable stories for their time.
@@AvenEngineer Hollywood would never make films about them. When it come to movies about black people in America they love to peddle pain and trauma. I don't watch movies about slavery for that reason. It would be beyond Hollywood to make a movie about those great men, Ida B. Wells or Madame C.J Walker. Movies like that would be inspiring and give hope. In spite of the conditions of the "peculiar institution" of slavery people were able to create amazing legacies. It would reframe (not sanitize) history. The idealist in me at least sees it that way.
@@AmaryllisTV I see you're a content creator and have been for some time. I think you found the formula ages ago, speaking for yourself, building your own legacy. I'm going to check out your recipes and put on a JackSoul record. I had occasion to meet Haydain, he was extraordinary. Thank you for reminding me.
Some people I talked to in Europe and the US called BLM a gift to the far right. And after seeing them destroy statues all across the US and Europe I believe them. They don't care about Africans and Afro American citizens. They don't want to improve their communities. They just want to stay in their professional victim bubble and control you. I mean look at what's happening in Seattle. Or when they took down statues of Columbus.
@@TSPH1992 they even graffited the Lincoln memorial no honor or respect? Just destruction but then our educational system is a joke. Several black people told me Lincoln was a democratic because Republicans are racist...told them he was a republican and the democrats were the KKK they told me I was a liar and racist i said Google it.
No joke. I’m more worried about accidentally offending or committing some unknown micro aggression any interaction I have with a black person. I use to never have those thoughts. Not that I was color blind but I use to just talk to people without having thoughts about their race & how they feel about me because I’m white.
@@nparksntx I worked in a place full of that. I saw it change so fast how I was to address people. They said I could not call them black, then I could not call them African-American and had to call them black. In the end it was racist if I said black in any way that seemed uncomfortable. How am I not supposed to be uncomfortable if I can say a word the wrong way and get fired but at the same time it is the only word I am allowed to use for it? I now make sure that I choose my words for sincerity and benevolence and let the chips fall where they may.

"This whole movement is about white folk(leftists) thinking that the black men and black women's world can't move unless they move if for them" Very well said, dude. Curious to know your thoughts on the difference between this "movement" and the one in the 60s in regards to whites "helping"

Man, I was just about to post something like this. I might lose friends, I might be excommunicated by my own family, but it's getting hard to keep this in and go along with it.
Because of this video, I instantly hit the subscribe button. As a mixed kid, I feel the pressure of having to support the movement as well. Everything in this video is exactly what I was thinking about.
"I'm not begging to be accepted or acknowledged. At minimum, I want you the hell out of my way." I'm going back to work from my lunch break with those words in mind.
When you said basically, "Get the hell out of my way." I cheered. Spot on. This needs to be a universal for anyone. Do not plead to be accepted. Be you. Stay strong. Wonderful message of common sense and strong families. I subscribed because you are real. Great self-reliance message for me or anyone to aspire to. You don't need anyone's acceptance and I don't either. Thank you.
Agreed. I don’t mind being called Hispanic/ Mexican/brown/etc. I don’t mind calling a black person black. We should call it how we see it and have a conversation when we differ. Screw being PC. Let’s be honest.
I saw your video with Malcolm x. I was ignorant and thought he was just a more militant dr. King. Thank you for opening my eyes. Correct me if I'm wrong. what I came away from that video understanding was don't settle for trying to get a seat at the white man's table. Build your own damn table just as good or better.
The media doesn't want you to have your own mind. They want everyone to think the same. All these phony liberals who support BLM are liars. They don't care, and they never will. Keep having your own mind, think for yourself, stand up for what you believe in.
Any time anyone says to you "You should do this because you're black." or any other skin color. That's when you know they don't actually care about you at all.
@TorrentBlaze Yeah. He called liberals "smiling foxes" whereas conservatives were "wolves," and in turn preferable, because at least the wolf snarls and growls at you.
"I'm not begging to be accepted or acknowledged, I don't want that. At minimum I want you the hell outa my way" Hahahaha XD I love this guy. In every video he has an epic quote. I agree with so much of what you're saying. I've been doing some self educating on the blm organisation and what they want is 7 shades of crazy and stupid. @YoungRippa59 I also saw one of your other videos of one of the blm founders openly admitting that she and another one of the founders are "trained marxists" on a podcast. This organisation is something else. Many thanks for putting this info out there man I really appreciate it.
Hey man. I just turned 29. I'm a new father, I had my first boy last year in October. My wife and I are about to move into a new home. We live in Dallas. Well North of Dallas, but my wife works in Dallas. I'm taking care of the little one right now and going to school again. I love your take on marriage. We've been married for 7 years. I've been subscribed to you for awhile because I liked your politics. I'm not a huge fan of BLM either and I'm white. All of my peers just endorsed the movement without thinking. Criticizing this movement is nearly impossible for me. My wife could lose her job if she does at all. The company she works for publicly endorsed BLM and brought an activist onto lecture the employees. The activist sat on a conference call and called anyone who voted for Trump a racist, and basically told the white people in the room that they all had white privilege and needed to ask forgiveness. Shortly after the protests began, people in my neighborhood started leaving signs threatening to target us for our socioeconomic status. We actually had to place firearms in strategic locations for a day or two because of it. Fortunately the threats were false. I get what you are saying about it. Something about the whole movement makes my gut churn and you explaining it like that made it a little clearer for me. I've always been for police reform. The way they run things has put my best friend in jail three times for stupid reasons. The first time was his fault, but the other two times were because they piled on extra fines retroactively and didn't tell him. But this movement seems wrong and is causing more problems than they are providing solutions. Anyways, sorry for sharing my life story. Cheer up man, there are lots of people who agree with you.
Thanks for sharing. I have people in Dallas. I appreciate the insight. Planning on moving back soon actually.. A little sketched out to do so in the middle of these protests. 😬 I'm actually getting back together with my ex who happens to be a dark skinned black man, me being a white woman.. I just feel that even if I'm holding hands with him downtown somebody is gonna yell at me for being white! It's already that way on the internet! Like what the hell?!
Benjamin Woodham BLM is very damaging to black folk. It’s a subtle and dangerous Marxist control mechanism. Don’t try to fight it, keep your views to yourself, concentrate on providing for your family. The only powers you have is the vote and the purse. Don’t purchase products that sponsor bullshit ideologies. I’ve been there. May God bless you and your family.
the fact that someone can lose their job/friends/social presence because they don't agree with a movement is so so disgusting and sad! they had the same kind of blm conference call nonsense at my moms work the other day. Terrible. I wish you and your family well
Hell yes! I'm white. My uncle ( a black man) who I've admired as far back as I can remember was the classiest guy I've ever known. He graduated from college and was the most financially well off and educated member of our family. He was the only one in my family that concerned himself with how my education was going. I did not do well in school and wasn't able to go until my late 30's, but I will always credit him for the example he set. Imagine my surprise when woke ppl in college started telling me how underprivileged he is. I mean, it made me angry for him cause it feels condescending. He was the most DIGNIFIED person I knew. Listening to them made me angry for the infantilizing of the entire race. The fact that he can and did overcome does not erase the history of hostility and brutality...it simply highlights strength and perseverance. That success in education and business and science should be celebrated and shouted more loudly than the word "racism". You attract what you speak. No one should grovel. Ever.
I've seen you on twitter and I learned a lot about Liberterianism. One thing I can say is that you guys treat people like people more than the left and right. I really didn't know that being conservative wasn't necessarily republican.
When i first saw the title i immediately thought "Oh boy he we go" but i sat and listened. Then as i listened i realized we both feel the same way and I'm glad i listened. Keep on Bro!
Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I was raised to never ask for handouts and to work for what you want in life. It's nobody's fault if but your own if you can't achieve your goal. And white shame doesn't do anything in 2020, maybe 100 years ago but not now.
I love seeing your reactions. There's a trend of videos that are reaction themed. Most are just dramatized, over the top, and just plain silly. Saying your reactions are hilarious, is truthfully a compliment. Why I say that, is because of the honesty. The actual frustration, and confoundedness, of how rediculous things can be. How rediculous people can be. You're doing good work, and I applaud you!
Hi Man, im from Denmark, we just had a BLM protest recently in Copenhagen, they (BLM) wanted only POC to be in the front of the parade, whites was delegated to only walk in the end of the parade, whites was not allowed to use the black fist of power, and they were not allowed to sing along on the songs, Some Journalist asked them, if they did not think that was racist? They doubled down and started to belittle him for working for a danish newspaper, where almost all employed are white.
i'm not American, but i'm concerned of what happens in America as it can have a domino effect on the rest of the world like its happening right now in a negative way. When i heard about the identity and founders of BLM as a group, i researched by going on their website. Thats when i realized is not about real black issues but the black alphabet community/Black woman having more control on what goes on in the black community and also political involvement with the democrats. By the way its on their website and no secrets people just need to read what they are about. Good video and analysis on how easily it is to manipulated people.
Mad Respect To you Rippa Im super proud to watch your videos cause you respect yourself and dont require others to find that respect in yourself fuck yes youre a Champion
Let the jimmies rustle where the may.
Also, here's the video I did regarding Malcolm X: ruclips.net/video/JocOjvPizzY/видео.html
Many women in this movement got taken down without a Jimmy an rely on the government for support, instead of having a family structure
There is no MALCOLM X right now. He was a very powerful speaker that spoke with high logic. Even my being Sicilian, I understood pretty much all that he conveyed. The "Powers That Be" always merk the powerful and logical speakers.
I checked out your music good jam!
By the standards of the 1980s and 1990s I'd be called a Liberal. Today? I'm considered Right wing! Just because I don't hate myself for being white and I acknowledge most black folks' problems are self inflicted. For simply agreeing with Conservatives on PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY white Leftists call me a "fascist".

Exactly! A bit like Feminism. Agree with the textbook definition and most of its basic tenets, but the movement itself is ugly and full of shit politics.
The idea IS absolutely reasonable but, as usual, people stick their shitty politics and biases into it
I think most common sense people agree with you, myself included. These crazies think 95% of this country is racist, when in reality the exact opposite is true.
I get called a koon for saying things similar to what you do. Feels kinda racist when you have people trying to tell you that you aren't "black enough" and other slurs.
As an Asian-American, it's worse when those slurs come from white people who feel entitled... no, OBLIGATED to use those words because we're not being proper "people of color" and they need to get us back on the correct path. Like, seeing a white person calling a Black man an "Uncle Tom", only because they either voted Republican once or said something nice about President Trump... I can't believe that ANYONE would consider that to be acceptable, but apparently its OK if they're shaming someone from straying off the "proper" way to act and believe.
Actually, it is a form of racism by black people against other black people. There's a documentary on Apple TV called Uncle Tom. It's about black conservative men bein interviewed and in it they talk about bein racially shunned by their communities because they have different opinions than most of the other people in it, one of the dudes even has an award called "Koon of The Year". It really shows how hypocritically stupid people in BLM actually are when it comes to bein against others who don't follow in line like toy soldiers
What happened to freedom of speech?
It is racist.
@@MarshallWolfMiller That is a great film
Honestly I feel the same way about BLM and the LGBTQ. It’s nothing but “inclusiveness” and “acceptance”. I don’t get why it can’t just be “let me live my life and you live yours”.

We feel the same.racism will never be over with.but these ppl are scam artist and its sad
Coming from someone who is apart of the lgbtq+ I can’t stand pride. All these protests just cause problems and give people a bad reputation
Exactly. Its all one big political movement and its part of the problem thats tearing the country apart. I believe nobody saw color or anything before these riots and such.
@@tangytarn7020 ikr, you can’t even say anything either without pissing off the sheep 🐑
As a black man in America, I can tell you many reasons why our community is hurting. We've maintained our victim card way too long because we continue to ignore the underlining issues that plagued our community for decades. Many can argue that systemic racism is the contributing factor in destabilizing our community, but when do WE overcome being the victim and own up to our responsibilities in the matter? If you can acknowledge the problem and continue the karmic cycle...you're complicit and willing to aid the so called adversary in your own destruction. The Black Lives Matter movement is the embodiment of self proclaimed victims who are being used to push sinister agendas by those who've controlled THEIR narrative from the beginning. They are being coached by wolves in sheep's clothing. Black Lives Matter, you can not see that? We must break that cycled mentioned moments ago with haste because if we continue down this path we will become the very thing we detest. We can no longer hide behind excuses and place blame because it diminishes our message as a whole. Let me ask you a question...Where does our dollar go when we continue to take down our cities? How is our relationship with our brothers and sisters? How's our family structured? Do we even have a relationship with our family? Do we listen to each other? Are we holding our fellow brothers and sisters accountable for their actions? How do we really treat others who think differently than us? LET'S GET REAL!!! WHO ARE WE FOOLING??????? In reality, what are the 3 main things weakening the bl@ck community? F@therless homes, bl@ck on bl@ck crime and @bortions. Yes, you heard me right...and we never want to address these issues because we do not want to own up to our own doings. Instead, we continue to blame others while continuing the destructive behavior. We can demand respect from others all we want, but are we getting our "house" in order? Are we holding ourselves to the same standards, we're expecting from other's? I mean, by failing to look into the mirror, we've allowed this mess to continue which makes us a HUGE target for manipulating and controlling purposes. So, whenever we decide to dive into the realm of cultivating our emotional wellness awareness will show us truth, light and freedom. It will liberate us from the mind prison that was created by the outer world. Also, we must understand the motives from wolves in sheep's clothing. For example, who funds BLM??? It's the same person who funds Antifa....G. Soros!...What are his motives? For one, he does not care about us, neither white, asian, latino, gay, trans and everything else in-between. In order to seek justice we must have honor.
I will fight for justice...but I will NO LONGER CLAIM THE VICTIM CARD. WAKE UP!!!
That was an amazing statement. I think you need a bigger podium and a much larger venue. Absolutely well spoken and truly inspirational. I applaud you... please find a way to get your message to the world. We all need to hear it. Every word you just said. Down to the letter...
I usually brush off long youtube comments as rants. I read every word of your post and it was worth the time.
Yup, even if you actually have been victimized in the past, it's not healthy to constantly think of yourself as "victim" having that "victim mentality." If you talk to real victims out there, overwhelmingly so they will tell you they want to move past it and be strong, not think of themselves as a "weak, helpless victim" forever all their lives now. If you want true empowerment, stop thinking of yourself as a victim. The problem is these days "victimhood status" is basically treated like a currency to be coveted, hoarded and traded. Many don't want to give up the perceived "benefits" that a "victim card" gives them in these overly-PC/SJW times we live in.
@@denvera1612 It already has a big platform. This is what Candace Owen's has been saying for years. Funny though how all these companies and people who are screeching about inequality try so hard to silence a black woman the moment her message conflicts with their narrative.

There's no reason for them to have a response that the UK is a brutal police state when they keep removing things that the police can do, especially in London.
Or as Tatum once said. They vote Democrat right? At the local level, the Federal level, and so on. BLM votes Dem. Then complain nothing has changed. They still feel this or that? So whyyyyy if nothing has changed do they keep voting Democrat? If you ain't happy then leave or vote for someone or something else. Cause clearly voting Democrat hasn't helped any right?
Because Trump bad
you took the words right out of my mouth. Baltimore is black majority city which has majority of democrats. It had major riot. I can't call it a race riot because the black are in control.
Because The Democratic Party owned Slaves and The Republican Party did not another reason The Democratic Party created laws to stop black people from having the rights to go public places and there had to be white and colored only.

The thing is we do need you. As a society and my personal belief every life should be valued, which I feel is the point. I personally don't align myself with anything that has no clear agenda that can be hijacked by others or driven to pointless pursuits, which for whatever pros or cons for a movement BLM is making small progress. Although not enough, wanton destruction being in complete opposition to justice. No one should be cast aside in society regardless of whatever crimes they've caused because when you push a person away continually they'll do what suits them, no one should be beyond being responsible for their lives and the damage they cause.

Voting isn't an easy option especially when we're given the option of Two racist white men for our next presidential term. So what is the answer? What is a worthwhile cause?
Sunphoenix I hear you, thanks for giving me a lot to consider. I think people mistakenly think voting is the only way to get anything done. It’s easy to vote and think, “well, he promised this, and that, so I’ll leave it to him.” But nothing ever changes, most politicians are trying to advance their careers, not save the world. Not to say that we shouldn’t vote, but we have to do more because we rely on the government too much to solve all of our problems. In doing so we give them more power than they deserve.
We need to, as citizens come together, and think of ways to achieve the peace, prosperity, and equality that we all deserve. But we can’t do that if we can’t agree on how to get it done. What’s going on now, whether BLM or the mainstream media like to admit it, is pure chaos that is dividing us further. We are so far apart we can’t even have conversations anymore. Kindness is out the window and in its place is finger pointing, labels, and public shaming. I’m a firm believer in, “United we stand, divided we fall.” And this? This is the fall.
I don’t know what’s worthy, but anything that’s honest is a start, and anything that doesn’t seek to gain, by causing others pain.
That’s the simplest way to put it...
“I’m not concerned with disparities. I’m concerned with what’s wrong & what’s right.”

Yes I'm better than you and now I get to feel good on the inside, keep my privilege and help you, those who are incapable of the things I have, please bask in all my privilege and see what is possible." That is exactly what I hear because it's what they are saying..
As a white man, I won't offer you my privilege, but it sounds like you're someone I'd like to offer my friendship to.
Deep shit bruh
Brother, you laid it our perfectly of how I've thought on the inside anytime a hear a white person say they acknowledge their "white privilege". They are basically telling you to your face that they feel like they are better than you. I don't see how other black people don't pick up on this.
@@The1Question at this point I don't think we can even blame other black people for not seeing this. It's so entrenched that it's actually part of their identity. The only privilege I believe in is if you had the privilege to grow up in surroundings that instilled in you the foundational building blocks that are important for success. White and black and every other color of poor people living in circular poverty have lost these building blocks. Black people were told by a lot of white people You're no good You're not anything. So they started to believe it. They told their kids either You're no good You're not anything or white people think you're no good or not anything. And instead of believing it became part of them. When I worked for a large retail corporation as a manager on the night shift most of my employees were black. As time went on they got to me I got to know them I would hear them say I'll never be able to get on a day shift because of this because that. So I told one of them one day, that were complaining, what they needed to do. I told them tuck your shirt in per the dress code, when you see the store manager coming in the morning say good morning Brad how are you? If he walks down the aisle or right next to you stand up look him in the eye shake his hand say how are you doing. And wouldn't you know it about three or four weeks later The store manager says to me you know we're going to have about four day shifts open up, Jevon on the night crew what do you think about him coming to days? And I answered honestly I said he's a good worker he does everything I ask him to do. And damn it wouldn't you know it he gets moved to days after a year or more trying. At first he thought I was telling him to suck up to the manager. I explained to him it's not about sucking up It's about showing that you're there. There were a few other things I told him to like if he was taking notes down the aisle say is there anything I need to do better or is this good? He took interest in the job that he did so the store manager took interest in him. It's those simple little building blocks that people who have lived in poverty have just lost I don't know where or how but they're gone. He went on to be a store manager at one of the busiest Walmart supercenters in North Texas. Got married to his other baby's mama got custody of his other child bought a house is doing pretty dang good. And I don't expect praise I don't expect thank yous from no one I don't want to be put on a pedestal It's enough for me to know that his three kids now will see and he can show them things that he was never taught. I believe teaching those who have lost those basic building blocks is the single most important and effective thing white people can teach others who have lost it if they're just willing to listen and put it to use. I know it may sound trivial and many may sit there and say I'm full of shit that that'll never work, he said the same thing. And so did about five others but then saw where it got him and asked me what they could do. Helping those people learn those basic building blocks and put them to use is far more helpful than handouts of money handouts of housing and empty offerings of privilege. I'm thankful that I was raised with those basic building blocks and I could teach someone who bothered to listen how to use them.
and just to top it off, not only is the implication that they are better, but you know at least half of them are disingenuous and don't believe what they are saying, but want to be seen to be all progressive because it's being drummed into them at every turn, and if they say no they get labeled a nazi or racist.
i was talking to one of my co-works the other day and at one point she said "but i guess that's part of my white privilege" i was immediately like stfu, people are all individuals, they all have different privileges, some people get dealt good hands, some get bad. that's just life and applies to all. and at the end of the day, did you get where you are because you worked for it, or because some just gave it to you?
Unapologetically white. I’ve done nothing wrong. I’m just trying to survive like everyone else. I ❤️ everyone
Same. But I’ll be dammed if I stand by and watch anything racist take place nor will I let someone disrespect me for being white.

@Bethany Nichole while I see and respect his point I do think he is over simplifying things. I think being treated equal is not the same as having pity or woe is me attitude. This same argument would not work when it comes to separate but equal law back in the day or when women could not vote. Awareness and movements have a purpose. I'm support black lives matter but I don't need a hand out. There are people on all sides who will take advantage of movements.
I watched this video months ago when this BLM stuff started happening...I was so conflicted about everything from companies virtue signaling...to blind support of a movement because “it’s the black thing to do,” etc. this video really helped refine my thinking...I’m watching this video now after doing research, reading material, listening to different perspectives from different voices (which it’s a shame to say I was never doing this properly because I should have been doing it anyway)...and have come to the conclusion that there is validity to a lot of what you said. It’s so much clearer to me now than it was back then...
I'm white and i never really knew what racism was until the media made a hard push in 2016. My mom never taught me that people were more valuable than others. I was not even taught about where different people came from. My moms family is heavily British and my dads grandmother was 100% native american. NEITHER parent taught me about race. I didn't know my own origins until i was older. I grew up around Black, Asian, Indian, white and never really cared to judge because i didn't know anyone's past. I was just taught everyone is deserving of equal love. Honestly i see that as something that was important for me to grow up with because i never grew up with left and right politics twisting my views on the history of people. At the end of the day people shouldn't have to beg for rights. Everyone deserves freedom.
Agreed

Dude!!! DUDE!!! Maaaaan.......as a Black man in Chicago with a little sense, I would love to personally thank you. There’s so much truth in this video, that I almost screamed!!!

I just can’t eloquently express it as well as you can. Bruh.....thank you. I need to buy your joints. I really do.
I've listened to probably 30 different takes on both sides of what is going on. This is the most grounded and honest one. Thanks man.
When I was active duty in the Navy, the majority of my brothers and sisters were minorities (i hate using that word) and we had such great conversations sharing childhood stories about growing up in different areas. It was no secret that I grew up in the suburbs and most of my friends came from tougher backgrounds. It wasn't an issue though. We embraced our differences and it created a bond. We were awesome friends and coworkers, we laughed at how we grew up and the experiences we had. We looked out for each other, respected each other, helped when times were tough in personal lives, celebrated birthdays and when kids were born. Nothing was ever about race, it was about being a good friend and shipmate to those around you. I now live in a 99.9% white town and I just roll my eyes when I see the protests and how people are trying to lecture everyone on race relations. I love where I live but not a day goes by where I don't think of all my Navy friends who I only see on social media right now. I'd love to see them again someday and catch up and reminisce over the experiences we shared together. I see so many people just judging the hell out of each other and creating these insane standards that have no basis in reality. People are becoming brainwashed and manipulated, it's sad and frustrating.
Same here, but on the flipside. I had a lot of white friends who stuck with me through thick and thin. Never assume in the military, you will end up looking stupid.
Birch Mahogany Active Army, yes, the military is quite a place to learn and experience many things. One of my good friends from my early years in the Army is now a police officer in Kansas City. Yes he’s black. Yes I miss him. And with everything going on I’m very worried about him, we don’t always get a chance to get in contact with each other. But yeah, I’m worried about him. He’s a true red white and blue man.
Far-right whites keep telling me I should be angry that whites will eventually become a minority in the United States. I usually call them morons for caring because there's never any such thing as absolute racial numerical equality. Am I supposed to expect whites will become oppressed JUST because we become a minority at some point? It's my view that MLK's Dream must be realized and then numbers don't matter.
We are all brothers and sisters... Love everyone

BLM won't attack or protest the drugs and dealers.. because BLM are the top heads dealers in the business.
Because they need their fix
From a so called “black man” to another so called “black man” I’m right there with you bro. This BLM shit is sad
Honestly I thought I wasn’t a “black man” cause I didn’t support their destruction and cause but others agree with we especially some “black men”
It is they don't care about so called black men or black people. They would really be active in stopping what's the most dangerous things to black lives but they don't

Can I also say that its terrifying to be a white person who thinks rationally and is surrounded by white, black and brown people who think that just because I am white I am inherently racist and should HATE myself! Thank goodness conservative voices provide hope for humanity.

It actually hurts my heart that they have such hateful things yelled at them, racially hateful things, even from other black ppl and of course from white liberals!! I read a comment by a young man on a video and he was telling a story about how his own beloved family members were saying such things to him, it honestly broke my heart. It’s not right. The ppl who are speaking up and against what’s going on right now are very courageous and brave bc they know they’ll be attacked, especially the black ppl who are speaking up and against things!! I have the upmost respect for them bc they’re convictions are so strong, that nothing is getting in the way of them speaking up! I make sure to watch those videos, read those articles and threads bc honestly, that’s where I learn even more and hear really good ideas and solutions and things we could be working on together!!

I’m so late, but I love this comment. I’m East Asian and I can’t stand East Asians that only stick with other East Asians because that automatically makes us closer buddies or whatever. I want to be recognized for who I am regardless of what country I am from.
It’s extremely difficult, and at times, scary to speak up in disagreement with the BLM movement. I can’t imagine how difficult it is for a black person to do the same. That takes some serious conviction because the backlash is vicious, even when you approach it in a non combative way. If i disagree, I’m a racist, when that’s the furthest thing from the truth. Half my family is black, and I’ve dated black men. Why does it always turn to race if I disagree? I disagree with the anger and mob mentality and aggressive nature you’re met with if you don’t agree with their rhetoric.

Perfectly stated. People are crazy and will jump down your throat for stating an opinion.

We have not publicly stated our opinion because of everything you said, we would get so much hate if we voiced our opinion so we have remained silent during this whole thing.
Yeah I got this earlier when I spoke on a post about how I would never kneel to a black woman because it’s like saying I feel superior in some way and I don’t at all ,, then I was called a racist, literally went outta control by me basically saying I don’t feel superior nor do I want to be lol , it’s all very confusing with so many ppl wanting so many things out of the blm movement, a lot of people don’t know what they are protesting for tbh especially here in the uk !
Apologies, but it struck me you could substitute "Triple K" for "BLM movement" in your first sentence and the message would not change. Not meaning to offend, just an observation.
More than any SJW or Ultra-Left activist, your stance is stunning and brave. You risk rejection from many individuals of both races, embrace heavy insults from the black community, and more in the name of using your head and getting to the core of all these complex issues.
Until reasonable conversations return, time to stand back wait and watch.

Your touching on some great points. Liberals want to keep being funded by programs and foundations. What we need is jobs. I was raised in the hood and did some crazy stuff too. I was always a good kid inside like many others around me. Raised in Oakland during the 80's and 90's. Once I moved out of Oakland 45 minutes away on the freeway....my life changed at the age of 15. I saw opportunity, because people weren't being held back by the leftist system. Students were talking about summer jobs and summer school. Guess what I had when summer started? A job, and I went to summer school to make up credits. I felt like the whole world was like Oakland, until I moved away. They don't know how it feels to be free from real systemic racism. I now have a beautiful family for going on 20 years, and I own Real Estate in Ca. I go camping, hiking, kayaking, archery, and go to the shooting range. When kids from the hood look at me while camping in my tent or RV, I give them that head nod that's a yes we out here. Don't let someone put you in a box. They need to see us enjoying things other than Cars, clothes, and Jewelry. I'm around all races who enjoy life. We need real leaders to bring back the community not profit from it like BLM.
You sound like a real person who is their own person.
I respect you.
I don't respect followers.
God bless you sir. This is a wonderful post to read.
This story really touched me. I’m so happy you got a whole new opportunity at 15 and you made the absolute best of it!! You have a wonderful life!!
You are a success story, and you bring up a good point about the "smothering mother" archetype that is embodied by traditional liberals. Just like the mother with the child that lives in the basement in their 40's, the traditional liberal establishment will institute programs to "help" you, but you can never leave, and you will never have autonomy. Congratulations for figuring this out. You have set into motion something successful that will last for generations. Your kids are lucky.

Depends on what definitiom of racist you mean. Typically when white people say racist they mean the individual hating of another race.
You mean institionalized racism, that's a Marxist ideology. Those at the top can only be the oppressors. The problem with this ideology is whomever reaches the top needs to be taken down. It's nothing more than a cycle of stupid ideas.

I forget where I heard this from but it really struck home the reality of things. That if you want recognition and respect essentially, you need to become undeniable and whatever it is you're pursuing. begging for attention and acknowledgement is pretty pitiful and something that I wouldn't want for myself or anyone else.
That’s a good saying
In my view, BLM the organization, intentionally ignores the history of the civil rights movement in America. Fredrick Douglass, Booker T Washington, MLK, Malcolm, The Black Panthers, Afrocentric's, and countless other groups and individuals, all had very different ideas. The civil rights movement is specifically the organization of people and exchange of ideas. Today there is little of that going on and this has been the case for a very long time.
In 1911, Booker T Washington wrote the following (I did not edit the mans words which are not in fashion today out of respect);
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."
His book, Up from Slavery, is one of my favorite books. He fought hard for people to get an education.
The lives they lived back then, were astonishing. You'd think there would be a few blockbuster movies about these people considering how unbelievable their actual lives were. Booker T, is one of the most iconic American heroes I can think of, and he's only an individual in a sea of people. These people left us their wisdom, and it's in the library.
I read both Douglass' and Washington's biographies. I admire both men and wish everyone would be more aware of them. They're incredible men with remarkable stories for their time.
@@AvenEngineer Hollywood would never make films about them. When it come to movies about black people in America they love to peddle pain and trauma. I don't watch movies about slavery for that reason. It would be beyond Hollywood to make a movie about those great men, Ida B. Wells or Madame C.J Walker. Movies like that would be inspiring and give hope. In spite of the conditions of the "peculiar institution" of slavery people were able to create amazing legacies. It would reframe (not sanitize) history. The idealist in me at least sees it that way.

Agreed. I don’t mind being called Hispanic/ Mexican/brown/etc. I don’t mind calling a black person black. We should call it how we see it and have a conversation when we differ. Screw being PC. Let’s be honest.
It's extremely bizarre that the correct term is now linguistically indistinguishable from what is considered a derogatory term.
Thank you Rippa, we need your voice of sanity right now.
I saw your video with Malcolm x. I was ignorant and thought he was just a more militant dr. King. Thank you for opening my eyes. Correct me if I'm wrong. what I came away from that video understanding was don't settle for trying to get a seat at the white man's table. Build your own damn table just as good or better.
And thus, where my parents went wrong...
Malcolm X was amazing *AFTER* he came back from Mecca
This aged like fine wine 🍷
'that's for losers dawg. i aint with that!!' ha! love it
I'd rather be a lone wolf than follow the herd of sheep. At least I can defend myself when things get wild
The media doesn't want you to have your own mind. They want everyone to think the same. All these phony liberals who support BLM are liars. They don't care, and they never will. Keep having your own mind, think for yourself, stand up for what you believe in.
One of the only sane people on youtube talking about this. This is why i purchase your music and listen to your videos daily
I am so happy to not feel alone, thank you brother!
I have been very upfront with that, just be humane and I do everything possible for equality since ever.
Any time anyone says to you "You should do this because you're black." or any other skin color. That's when you know they don't actually care about you at all.
Yeah.... That is the same thing as some dude wearing the laundry telling me "to do it for the white race." Same crap.
I read The Autobiography of Malcolm X when I was in high school in the '80s and I thought Malcolm sounded like a libertarian-leaning Republican.
I think he said don't trust liberals and called the 80% blacks who voted Democratic back in 1964, political chumps.
Michael Horning sad
@TorrentBlaze
Yeah. He called liberals "smiling foxes" whereas conservatives were "wolves," and in turn preferable, because at least the wolf snarls and growls at you.
I will never pity the "victim" I will only respect the survivors who wouldn't let themselves continue to be one.
"I'm not begging to be accepted or acknowledged, I don't want that. At minimum I want you the hell outa my way" Hahahaha XD
I love this guy. In every video he has an epic quote. I agree with so much of what you're saying. I've been doing some self educating on the blm organisation and what they want is 7 shades of crazy and stupid.
@YoungRippa59 I also saw one of your other videos of one of the blm founders openly admitting that she and another one of the founders are "trained marxists" on a podcast. This organisation is something else. Many thanks for putting this info out there man I really appreciate it.
Hey man. I just turned 29. I'm a new father, I had my first boy last year in October. My wife and I are about to move into a new home. We live in Dallas. Well North of Dallas, but my wife works in Dallas. I'm taking care of the little one right now and going to school again. I love your take on marriage. We've been married for 7 years.
I've been subscribed to you for awhile because I liked your politics. I'm not a huge fan of BLM either and I'm white. All of my peers just endorsed the movement without thinking. Criticizing this movement is nearly impossible for me. My wife could lose her job if she does at all. The company she works for publicly endorsed BLM and brought an activist onto lecture the employees. The activist sat on a conference call and called anyone who voted for Trump a racist, and basically told the white people in the room that they all had white privilege and needed to ask forgiveness.
Shortly after the protests began, people in my neighborhood started leaving signs threatening to target us for our socioeconomic status. We actually had to place firearms in strategic locations for a day or two because of it. Fortunately the threats were false.
I get what you are saying about it. Something about the whole movement makes my gut churn and you explaining it like that made it a little clearer for me. I've always been for police reform. The way they run things has put my best friend in jail three times for stupid reasons. The first time was his fault, but the other two times were because they piled on extra fines retroactively and didn't tell him.
But this movement seems wrong and is causing more problems than they are providing solutions. Anyways, sorry for sharing my life story. Cheer up man, there are lots of people who agree with you.
Thanks for sharing. I have people in Dallas. I appreciate the insight. Planning on moving back soon actually.. A little sketched out to do so in the middle of these protests. 😬 I'm actually getting back together with my ex who happens to be a dark skinned black man, me being a white woman.. I just feel that even if I'm holding hands with him downtown somebody is gonna yell at me for being white! It's already that way on the internet! Like what the hell?!
arkieologist I won’t yell at you. Texas is a great place for everyone. You are probably safer here than at lot of other places.
Benjamin Woodham BLM is very damaging to black folk. It’s a subtle and dangerous Marxist control mechanism.
Don’t try to fight it, keep your views to yourself, concentrate on providing for your family. The only powers you have is the vote and the purse. Don’t purchase products that sponsor bullshit ideologies. I’ve been there.
May God bless you and your family.
@@benjaminwoodham6682 True enough. A lot of gun activists, Second Amendment rights activists in Texas.
the fact that someone can lose their job/friends/social presence because they don't agree with a movement is so so disgusting and sad! they had the same kind of blm conference call nonsense at my moms work the other day. Terrible. I wish you and your family well
Hell yes! I'm white. My uncle ( a black man) who I've admired as far back as I can remember was the classiest guy I've ever known. He graduated from college and was the most financially well off and educated member of our family. He was the only one in my family that concerned himself with how my education was going. I did not do well in school and wasn't able to go until my late 30's, but I will always credit him for the example he set. Imagine my surprise when woke ppl in college started telling me how underprivileged he is. I mean, it made me angry for him cause it feels condescending. He was the most DIGNIFIED person I knew. Listening to them made me angry for the infantilizing of the entire race. The fact that he can and did overcome does not erase the history of hostility and brutality...it simply highlights strength and perseverance. That success in education and business and science should be celebrated and shouted more loudly than the word "racism". You attract what you speak. No one should grovel. Ever.
I agree with the sentiment that black lives do matter (too, along with all lives matter), but I vehemently oppose the organization.
I also
Be careful. Too much common sense here! Love it, "I don't want them to accept me, I want them to get out of my way". Exactly. Let us live and be free.
I've seen you on twitter and I learned a lot about Liberterianism. One thing I can say is that you guys treat people like people more than the left and right. I really didn't know that being conservative wasn't necessarily republican.
When i first saw the title i immediately thought "Oh boy he we go" but i sat and listened. Then as i listened i realized we both feel the same way and I'm glad i listened. Keep on Bro!
When a person is intelligent don't need any moviment
George Floyd is a hero. He single handedly ended covid-19.
Can’t wait for the mysterious boom in cases soon
Isn't it amazing.... You can't go to church, but you can burn one. You can't open your store..... But you can loot one.
@@vilnv July is going to be an interesting month for sure.
Roflmao
He is not.
Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I was raised to never ask for handouts and to work for what you want in life. It's nobody's fault if but your own if you can't achieve your goal. And white shame doesn't do anything in 2020, maybe 100 years ago but not now.
I love seeing your reactions. There's a trend of videos that are reaction themed. Most are just dramatized, over the top, and just plain silly. Saying your reactions are hilarious, is truthfully a compliment. Why I say that, is because of the honesty. The actual frustration, and confoundedness, of how rediculous things can be. How rediculous people can be. You're doing good work, and I applaud you!
Hi Man, im from Denmark, we just had a BLM protest recently in Copenhagen, they (BLM) wanted only POC to be in the front of the parade, whites was delegated to only walk in the end of the parade, whites was not allowed to use the black fist of power, and they were not allowed to sing along on the songs,
Some Journalist asked them, if they did not think that was racist? They doubled down and started to belittle him for working for a danish newspaper, where almost all employed are white.
Downright foolishness! Sorry you experienced that
Yeah, It was racist.
This is why I REFUSE to step one god damn foot on black lives matter protests
That tank is fire
All God's Children Matter🙏💗🌏. The human race needs to come together now, more than ever.
The older I get, the more I see no lives matter.
The non woke metal community has been saying this for awhile.
@@WhiskeyPatriot I'm a Ironworker so...yep..lol
i'm not American, but i'm concerned of what happens in America as it can have a domino effect on the rest of the world like its happening right now in a negative way.
When i heard about the identity and founders of BLM as a group, i researched by going on their website. Thats when i realized is not about real black issues but the black alphabet community/Black woman having more control on what goes on in the black community and also political involvement with the democrats. By the way its on their website and no secrets people just need to read what they are about. Good video and analysis on how easily it is to manipulated people.
It’s the self-pity group, the self-guilt group, and the panderers.
This man is speaking the most sense I’ve seen on this RUclips platform for a long time.good luck god bless
Mad Respect To you Rippa Im super proud to watch your videos cause you respect yourself and dont require others to find that respect in yourself fuck yes youre a Champion
