You can't punish children for the sins of the father also it is irresponsible of us to force today's children to carry our burdens which is in reality not even ours to bear to begin with. We are all just arguing and fighting over a bunch of dead peoples beef who have passed a long long time ago. How pathetic.
they wont cause indcotrination can abckfire and fail on children and can be reversed. no black chil will claim to be a victim and no white child will hate his race
You're right, but it's difficult for a certain segment of society to get past the victim mentality. Generational indoctrination can be hard to overcome.
Well WE aren't arguing... They argue a lot. (By "they" I meant the Left) And if some of your BIGGEST life mistakes and regrets could be blamed on something out of your control, wouldn't you want to believe it to be true? I'm not taking up for those whiny, entitled, spoiled people who want to blame instead of solve. Not at all. But they were given an easy out. You gotta admit that at least most of them believe it bc it's easier. And bc that's what they've been told. So in a way, it's not their fault for believing it either.

@@RAWALITY wrong African American people can work they would just rather get welfare from the government (this isn’t all African American people just a minority of them)
I'm white and grew up in the hood and was bullied and harassed nearly every day of my life by kids of color for being white. Its hypocritical and idk when my privilege is suppise to kick in either
People outside America won't call you African- American, White-American just American. Colour of skin shouldn't have any place in segregating a country of one. Stop doing it.
I'm stuck in poverty. Been living in a shit trailer my whole life. I bust my ass at work no matter how much I hate my job (which I currently don't thankfully). I have no privilege whatsoever. None. I spent my entire childhood being picked on and beat up. I come from a broken, separated family. I treat everyone equally and fairly regardless of my past. And I had a guy (a black man) tell me JUST THE OTHER DAY, that all white people owe them reparations. 😒 because it's our fault that things aren't perfect apparently. Bro. I literally have nothing to offer. You want my fuckin bread crumbs? My canned soup? I don't have anything else to give even if I wanted to
White people don't owe them reparations, the country does. White privilege is nor having everything given to you. It's not about never having hard times. It's more about not enduring the things blacks do. You're not prejudged based on your skin color. You're not followed around in stores. You're given the benefit of the doubt. Etc. Now that doesn't mean all whites are completely free of those things. But do you fear being pulled over every time you go somewhere? Because they do. And it often ends badly, even for the innocent.
@@charlidog2 see that's false. It actually rarely happens, we only hear about it when it does. But we don't hear about the million times a year black people are pulled over and have no issues do we? No. We don't hear about the billion times a year black people go to stores and aren't followed or watched do we? I work in a store and we have shoplifters or sketchy people. 75% of the time I could point them out based on their look. Most of them are local first nations. Occasionally we get a white person - usually homeless or a druggy, but still we could identify them before hand just on looks alone. 99% of the time we are right. Most times there aren't issues, we will only hear about the bad times, and many of those times are warranted after being suspicious or assuming it's racist when it wasn't. How many criminals are praised after they're shot by police when they were literally attempting to kill someone? I keep seeing it on media posts, glorifying the bad guys just because they were black and killed by cops. And good thing they were, anyone that tries to kill someone SHOULD be shot down. Regardless of their skin
@@vanguardraidcommand2285 Statistics substantiate my narrative. They debunk yours. Blacks get pulled over many more times then whites. At night, when cops can't see race, the rates get closer. When whites are caught with pot, they're not charged. Not true with blacks. Why do you think blacks fill our prisons? They're prosecuted more, have less resources for a defense, and get longer sentences. Are you familiar with real estate red lining? How about the broken window policy? Blacks have been written out of programs that are supposed to benefit the common citizen.
@@charlidog2 blacks can't even get pulled over more than whites, we have 70% more population than them and a way higher rate of being pulled over. You can't say whites aren't charged for having pot because they are, and 99% of the time it'll be charged according to how much was in possession, or of they were driving, or whatever the scenario is. Why are there so many black folks standing up and saying that all of what you're saying is exaggerated and falsified? Why are there more and more coming out and telling others to stop acting like everything is racist and orchestrated? But no, they come forward and get shut down, silenced, called race traitors, and ridiculed. That tells us all we need to know
It's not even skin color. It's all labels. Labels push us into different groups. We judge and compare different groups creating a us vs them. Than focus on what they have and we don't. Funnily enough the other group is doing the same thing so we now operate in a society where victim status is the most powerful thing and all groups highlight there victimhood status and whine about it so things that will actually make out society and likely the rest of the world better too is pushed to the back burner. We are all just clever stupid humans. We all rock at something and suck at a lot of shit. That's just how it is.
FreeWorldSpirit313 For a better connotation as to the point you’re making, individualism, a policy in which you break down majority groups into smaller minority categories which practically have no difference from one another in order to give people a sense of self determination when in reality it’s just a political ploy to string votes by forming lots of minorities to form a larger majority.
42 years ago I was a poor single parent living in the hood with roaches and roof leaking when it rained, heat not working for days. My son is very well educated, great husband and father. Police detective rescuing children from human trafficking. Almost all his friends are in jail for very serious crimes. So don't tell me being poor and living in the hood means you need to steal and do crimes.
Exactly! what I tell people who always blame it on the environment. That's why as parent, you gotta instill proper discipline and training in your kids. You can't live in an area you can't afford because you are scared your kids will be influenced by the environment. Proud of you Linda! Remain blessed
I'm a white man, and I'm doing pretty good. My grandparents were basically migrant farmers and had no home. They slept on the dirt, sometime they only had onions to eat for whole summers. They had a gratitude, integrity, humility and their faith in God. My parents were pretty poor, rural people, but they managed to scratch out a living too. As for myself, I didn't have it easy either. I didn't even make it past the 8th grade before I had to start living on my own. Now, I've made my own way too, and I'm doing fine. Life ain't easy for most people, regardless of what race. Gratitude, humility, hard work, frugality, delayed gratification etc... These are the qualities that will keep you in good shape. Playing the victim card and the blame game will get you nowhere
how are you an adult (questionably) that doesnt know what white privelige is and how it benefits you every single day lmfao have you lived under a rock
Very true. 'White privilege' is prevalent historically, i.e. due to the past, white people are more likely to be born rich, be sent to private schools, have a head start in life etc etc... but the key word is *more likely*. Whiteness has no inherent privilege in most scenarios in the West, unless you're dealing with a white supremacist.
Its wealth privilege that exists. The wealthy stick with the wealthy and do business with each other and vacuum up more wealth. The poor, will suffer from that, regardless of their colour.
Wealth also creates every single job that’s available by starting a business. Who do you think is paying wages? Poor people? A basic understanding of economics would be of some benefit.
Wish I knew where white privilege was when I was growing up! My dad worked during the day and my mom worked at night. You ate what mom made for dinner or you went hungry! There was no money to go to McDonald’s or even eat n’ park (restaurant) for a meal. We had what we had, there was no begging my parents for the latest & coolest things (clothes, shoes, video games, etc) The day we turned 16 we had to get a job & help out! My family has worked their a**es off to get the things we have, there was no pass to the easy life! So I hate when people talk about ‘white privilege’ cause I sure as hell didn’t get it!!
I grew up the same way and I’m proud of how I turned out. I wouldn’t change my upbringing one bit. Made me a good human being. I bet it did the same for you, mollee.
Your "wyte privelege" allows you to sit in America while you elect to keep criminal politicians waging wars and dropping bombs on predominantly people of color and not have those same bombs released on you!! It's pretty simple! Now let's see what your deflection gonna be. It should be interesting!!
@@firsteyebeats2617 You seem to be utilizing that same privilege to be here, responding to comments on RUclips. There are no laws in the U. S. that apply to me that magically don’t apply to you. The constitution, right at the very beginning, mentions the fact that “All Men Are Created Equal.” Don’t blame yourself failing at life on white people.
@@joecephus_3668 The difference between me and you is that by utilizing that same privilege, I speak out against injustices in America. You want to pretend that none exists!
@@firsteyebeats2617 Where does it say that I deny injustice exists? Plenty of bad things happen every day that are racially motivated. The part of that I have a problem with is when people act like that stuff doesn’t happen to white people. Did you know that an estimated 700,000 slaves still exist in Africa? The people that are enslaving them aren’t white.
It is all relative. Not just to time period, but region, ethnic background, education, etc. They not only want to say that all white people today are privileged (despite poverty, etc) but that white people always were. That even today my white cousins growing up in a trailer park have privilege and Lebron James doesn't.
Exactly! You also would wear a scarlet letter for adultery, and couldn't show your ankles or you were a whore. Not to mention children working in factories & getting a 3rd grade education... this was EVERYBODY that was lower income.
In the eyes of the police, a poor white person is still worth more than the average black person. That is the only fact that matters when it comes to life & death situations. And in economics, a white person with a poor credit score is still more likely to gain a loan than the average black person. Intersectionality is a very real thing, so you can't just compare extreme opposites and claim White Privilege is a myth.
@@kingace6186 You're actually 100% factually wrong. Significantly more white people are killed by police than black people. But BLM and folks like you like to play games by ignoring the raw data and instead going for "well, this percent of the black population versus this percent of the white population"...all I hear is "Yeah, we know hundreds more white folk are killed by cops, but we're going to need them to kill EVEN MORE before we care about white folk being victims of police brutality". BYE!
I’ve recently discovered your content and it’s so nice to see someone (a BLACK FEMALE) who the left insists is being discriminated against, fighting for the Right. Thank you you wonderful human and you have more than earned my sub!
@ColonelKrNeL it’s the fact that the left says that they speak for all black women but she is saying “F%#K NO” (essentially) kinda like a dad saying he is a great husband, and his wife exposing bruises on her that he gave her.
Been poor since the late 70s early 80s when I was born. Still poor today, still trade my time for money and my money for things I need to survive. Still don't own a house or property. Still drive a 12+ year old car. Still have time where the bank says "zero funds" even after working 40 hr week. Still have some days can't afford lunch. And the list could go on and on. Where can I get my white privilege, I think I missed that line. 🤔

@@che.79 well son the reason being is while you where growing up drooling on a iPad, some of us where out there building the infrastructure you use daily, where technology wasn't as prevalent as it is now. So in a economy driven by technology, physical labor skills, traits don't equate well into the technology age. That's like me telling you a guy/girl who has probably spent their entire life around technology to go out and dig me a 300yrd trench by hand so we can lay down some communication cables for the local landlines. Even with wage increases sitting at 3% it does not offset the 9.1% inflation, so getting a better job does not fix anything. And "getting a better job" is easier when your younger and things don't hurt so much, when your in your 50s,house payments, kids etc. Simply getting a better job isn't as easy, much more rides on the fact of are you getting a check or not.
@@camelfilters3224 I’ve never even owned an iPad. I am 35 and am probably the least tech savvy person out there. If it doesn’t pay what you want. Go look for a different job. I used to make 30k in my 20s and now in my 30s I make around 90k. I have no education and barely passed high school.
In the 1990s the US government deployed the armed national guard to break up a bunch of race riots going on in the city of Los Angeles California. In 1917 the US army was deployed to break up a bunch of rioting and striking Irish and Scottish White mine workers and agricultural workers in West Virginia. The term redneck was the name of the mining Union. Those in power will actively screw with those beneath them for their own benefit and will actively manipulate those beneath them to fight amongst each other because of the simple military strategy of divide and conquer so long as we keep fighting over racism or not going to be able to scare to tear down and brutally eliminate the Scrooge mcducks of the world. So pick your battles people you want to fight pointless racist pissing contests or do you want to take on the Scrooge mcducks of the world.
@@megteg thank that part about picking your battles is something I wish more people would remember. We can only put so much pressure on those in power at once. Spread that pressure out and you divide it allowing them to ignore it. Concentrate that pressure in one place on one particular political topic and you punch clean through. We as in the entire population of the United States can't fight every single battle we need to pick the ones that are the most important collectively and work towards those.
My Dad worked really hard in a food warehouse freezer as a laborer for 30+ … dedicating his life so that I could have a better one. because of his hard work I am privileged. I hope I can do the same for my children!
My family ancestors were Native Americans, Irish and a few German IMMIGRANTS. There's a whole lot of people who are like this. Not every white person has "white privilege ", and definitely not mine. Thank you for your intellectual and entertaining videos. You're a very talented young woman.
thank you Amala. i’m so grateful that you are able to point out the hypocrisy. Let me start by saying that I am a white man. But first and foremost I am human and I am an American. We are all brothers and sisters because we are all our heavenly father‘s children, and it doesn’t matter what color you are. In my case, I was denied the opportunity to go to the University of my choice because of my color. I did not benefit from any privilege. I am a self-made businessman and I’ve had to work my ass off my entire life. What’s really cool, is the richest people I know are black. And good for them. they have realized the American dream, they haven’t waited for anyone to hand them anything, they worked their asses off too. please keep up the good work. We all love you out here
Boy I sure did miss that privilege. Grew up poor in the inner city of Baltimore. Once wore a winter coat with somebody else's name was embroidered on it because it came from second hand store. Skipped many meals over the years. Electricity turned off because you had to pick and choose what bill to pay so please don't tell me about white privilege.
Your "wyte privelege" allows you to sit in America while you elect to keep criminal politicians waging wars and dropping bombs on predominantly people of color and not have those same bombs released on you!! It's pretty simple! Now let's see what your deflection gonna be. It should be interesting!!
As a person who came from a white family, all of us are broke lol. However my family did come from Germany during the war so we weren't here during the Civil War.
I am in 7th grade, and I walked into my 6th my English teachers class. She has a list of books that she has read, is reading, and is going to read and I find it cool to look at those books. But one day when I walked in to class and look at her books, I see a book that is titled, “our white privilege.” Like what, I am white and I can say I have grown up in the same neighborhood of most of the black kids at school (which is Lot). Let me tell you, it was not a nice neighborhood if you know what I mean. Some of the black kids at school had it better than me, some of these kids had jobs and got big clothes brands or gaming consoles. So nobody can say I have white privilege, some kids of other races have big houses and I don’t and that’s good for them. But I know my white English teacher has no place saying that i have white privilege.
It depends, privileges don’t go as far as which you benefit off of financially. It could be something as simple as getting a better seat at a restaurant due to your skin color (yes this does happen) or not having to worry as much when being pulled over by a cop, or simply being trusted more because of the stereotype that white people dont steal and are good citizens. There is so much more to white privilege then what someone Gaines financially it can be psychological privilege.
Listening to her, it just proves that one's experiences are one's truths. I am just happy that her experiences isn't marked in situations where you aren't offered a job, promotion or service because of your color. This goes on every day all day and saying it don't won't make it go away. Please stop slapping others in the face by saying their really isn't ture. You only been on this earth one hot minute and trying to tell the rest of us why the world is round.
You forget the most important part "equality of opportunity" Do all races get equal opportunity TODAY when it comes to education, job, residence, civil rights, defending themselves from legal system. Answer honestly.

I'd also like to point out that privilege at our nation's inception didn't revolve around race. Wealth and ethnicity/nationality were what could be called the privilege of the day. The Irish, who today would certainly be called white, were not accepted as equals for decades. The same goes for Italians and even people of other religions besides Protestantism. Even the black slaves weren't enslaved for their skin color--it just so happened at the time that they were the easiest slaves to acquire at the time. Later, as Christian thought began to challenge the idea of mistreating humans were black slaves redefined as being less than human to avoid the inevitable moral conclusion that it was wrong to perceive and treat them as anything but equals.
@@wettaloca2923 Lol, well sorry if you don't know or care to know that part of our history...🤷♀️ That's called willful ignorance (in case you didn't know) 😘
Another fun fact: Indians were big time slave owners, they owned other Indians and Blacks! Also the ones that sold Black slaves to the slave traders in Africa were other Blacks but you never hear that side of the story!!!
Exactly the 1% back then left it too the current 1% that's all liberal leftist ironically but the other 99% of us get non of that never have and never will .
It's actually a naunced issue. As a white person who grew up in a Black community, I experienced both sides. Police officers on a call to a young boy with a gun behind my house did not shoot when they saw it was me. (It was a bb gun). My neighbor Shooby who was Black was standing right behind me and said he was glad I was holding the gun. We both felt there was a good chance it would have rolled out differently if he had been holding the gun. So that seems like privilege to me. But it ignores the constant stream of harassment and discrimination I faced from kids, adults and even teachers and bus drivers. It ignores the fact that I made it my life's purpose to get out of the ghetto. It also ignores the fact that the lack of privilege that Shooby faced all his life did not originate with whites. He died young, shot when he was trying to rob somebody.
That’s not about white privilege, that’s about statistics. Black people account for about 13% of the total population and more than 50% of the crime. White people aren’t financially oppressing black people, they are oppressing themselves by choosing to hang on to a victim mentality and believing that things should be handed to them. Aside from the few rich, white people understand they have to work for what they want. We go to school, work hard to get good grades, take out painfully high loans like everyone else and get through college. Then we get a job and bust our asses for what we have.
I cant believe people are this ignorant. It boggles the mind how the media brainwashed, conditioned and manipulated the masses . To piss all over them and then tell them its raining. Its fucking beyond comprehension and crazy. Dam people use your brain, it's a good thing.

White privilege is not the same as it was in the previous generations. However, white privilege is still very much so a thing. I’ve seen it and experienced it. I once use to have this young ladies mindset until I started to actually experience these things for my self. Saying it does not exist is abit far fetched.
Everyone saying it doesn't is either lying to themselves, do NOT know what it is, and / or diminishes it's effects on how it's implemented to this day. To say it's a thing in the past is dishonest. To relegate it as a personal effect as if it is not systemic and systematic is willfully dismissing it.
She said are there certain white people who do not benefit ... But what about the ones that certainly benefit from it...Honestly for her to say that white privileges Do not exist is alarming ... The systematic oppression built around white privileges still permeates today. Until that goes away white privilege will always exist
They want to talk about privileges and disparities well how about the last two years where a million businesses shut down most of them black owned and many of those took three generations to make but no let's talk about the 1700s
Finally, truth spoken. Explains why my family is always one step up from broke. Yes, my sisters and i (and their husbands) have houses but we have worked hard for a wage, scrimped and saved, and (for the moment) have managed to avoid financial collapse. Unlike my dad, who lost everything to bankruptcy. I refuse to be labeled a villain.
The language is theirs. The priviliage starts by you speaking their language and not yours. Your ideology is of them. Hawaii is still under occupation and asking Americans to leave.
They ask Americans to leave but still want the benefits of and protection provided by America so they just want to be another Puerto Rico but I say if America leaves you get nothing and see how that works out for you when someone else swoops in and takes over
Who is "their"? Do you mean English language? You know it was the English who founded this country. I don't speak the language of my grandparents (Italian) because I am American. What do you mean by, "Your ideology is of them". Who is "your" and who is "them".
Thank you haha. My great grandparents were immigrants from Holland, Scotland, Ireland and couple other places. We didn't reap any of those benefits, and in fact Irish people were treated similar to blacks for a long time.
I have witnessed white privilege in my life. However when I see it play out it's in smaller ways that people don't usually talk about. The best example of it for me is in witnessing my soon to be ex-husband dealing with law enforcement. I am Mexican and go through the world as a non white person. When he gets caught with a large amount of weed and is not taken to jail but left to live as normal until they call him and tell him he needs to come to the station when they are ready to make an arrest for it and he's allowed to leave when they're done, that's not something a non white person would usually get. When he is pulled over for having lapsed insurance and the cop let's him call his dad to be added to his policy and then gets to just leave without being impounded or getting a ticket, that's his privilege as a white person. There are other examples but to me that has always shown privilege.
With the media feeding that narrative, black privilege will continue to grow while still proclaiming that they are “oppressed” by “white supremacy” Lebron, looking at your twitter feed. Nick cannon, looking at your twitter feed Every single person who refers to themselves as a POC, looking at you too. We are AMERICANS.
@@pleaseshutup7053 schools and companies will hire minorities for the sake of diversity instead of people who are actually qualified. So a company would hire any black person, Asian person, woman, etc bc it makes them seem more diverse instead of an Asian, black, or woman who is actually qualified for the job. As for white privilege, people like Ted Bundy and Jeffery Dahmar got away with committing crimes more easily bc they were white. Primarily Jeffery Dahmar. The court protected him when he did harm to a young boy who I believe was Asian. They dismissed a lot of other crimes he did to black people as well. As for current day white privilege, i don't really have any examples, but I'm sure (at least in america) it still lingers.
So do people of other political groups. We learn from other people, let it be teachers, parents, friends etc. That's the influence we all have and there is nothing wrong with it.
Yes, Yes, No and No America was founded on the common grounds of ending British tyranny over the colonies and pure freedom. We fought for your freedom! How about a bit of respect? So ungrateful smh 🤦🏻♀️.
You remind me of " hear no evil, see no evil" I'd say speak no evil, but your literally telling victims to shut up, so you sure as hell speak some evil.
There was a quote I saw someone pull up, I dont remeber who said it but it went something like "you can live just as unfortunate as anyone else, but the colour of your skin isnt going to be one of the things that makes your life harder"
I have a feeling the young lady in the video is trying to be more “black” because she’s light skinned. Maybe she’s been challenged about her blackness and thinks she can prove it by acting/saying this stuff. 🤷♀️
It’s always the light skinned ones that feel like they have to prove their blackness because black folks make them feel inferior for being mixed with “colonizer”
You already lose the argument by agreeing with literally all the premises before coming to the wrong conclusion at the end. Just because everybody doesn’t experience X doesn’t mean X is not a real thing. Not every black people experience racism doesn’t mean racism doesnt exist but knowing you, you’ll probably make that argument. Still sounds really dumb.
I have this girl at work that always tells me I'm privileged because I'm white. I grew up in the hood. Gangs beat me up, had to walk to and from school because gangs ran the busses, and had to run out of a lot of classes to not get a beating between classes. If I had privilege I don't know what it was because I don't think I had it.
She's completely wrong though. Compare conviction rates with comparable evidence, college admission rates with comparable grades, or hiring rates with comparable qualifications, and the white privilege shines through.
When my family came over in late 1800 and early 1900's Scottish and Irish got treated like trash. And those groups and Chinese were enslaved to build the railroads.
Thank you! You say it so well. Also I find it interesting that being white automatically makes people assume that ones ancestors were slave owners. My ancestors came from the Isle of Man. They did not own slaves.
What i have noticed over the years is that some nationalities cant ask for more so they get only that much. For example polish ppl were poor, so when they threw me a bone at work i was happy with what i got, until I have found out that others got a whole freaking chicken. Simply put, im one of the very best managers while being paid the least. Is it racism? No, i have simply not negotiated enough...
If there was no racism why did you need a civil rights movement and who is this black woman speaking for white people as if she is white herself and how would she know was she here when the Civil rights movement was going on? I doubt it and if she was I would say she looks remarkably younger than someone who was there.
Don’t forget the past, but don’t live in the past.

I'm white and grew up in the hood and was bullied and harassed nearly every day of my life by kids of color for being white. Its hypocritical and idk when my privilege is suppise to kick in either
People outside America won't call you African- American, White-American just American. Colour of skin shouldn't have any place in segregating a country of one. Stop doing it.
I'm stuck in poverty. Been living in a shit trailer my whole life. I bust my ass at work no matter how much I hate my job (which I currently don't thankfully). I have no privilege whatsoever. None.
I spent my entire childhood being picked on and beat up. I come from a broken, separated family. I treat everyone equally and fairly regardless of my past. And I had a guy (a black man) tell me JUST THE OTHER DAY, that all white people owe them reparations. 😒 because it's our fault that things aren't perfect apparently. Bro. I literally have nothing to offer. You want my fuckin bread crumbs? My canned soup? I don't have anything else to give even if I wanted to
Damn you’re funny 🤣😂
White people don't owe them reparations, the country does.
White privilege is nor having everything given to you. It's not about never having hard times. It's more about not enduring the things blacks do. You're not prejudged based on your skin color. You're not followed around in stores. You're given the benefit of the doubt. Etc. Now that doesn't mean all whites are completely free of those things. But do you fear being pulled over every time you go somewhere? Because they do. And it often ends badly, even for the innocent.
@@charlidog2 see that's false. It actually rarely happens, we only hear about it when it does. But we don't hear about the million times a year black people are pulled over and have no issues do we? No. We don't hear about the billion times a year black people go to stores and aren't followed or watched do we?
I work in a store and we have shoplifters or sketchy people. 75% of the time I could point them out based on their look. Most of them are local first nations. Occasionally we get a white person - usually homeless or a druggy, but still we could identify them before hand just on looks alone. 99% of the time we are right. Most times there aren't issues, we will only hear about the bad times, and many of those times are warranted after being suspicious or assuming it's racist when it wasn't. How many criminals are praised after they're shot by police when they were literally attempting to kill someone? I keep seeing it on media posts, glorifying the bad guys just because they were black and killed by cops. And good thing they were, anyone that tries to kill someone SHOULD be shot down. Regardless of their skin
@@vanguardraidcommand2285 Statistics substantiate my narrative. They debunk yours.
Blacks get pulled over many more times then whites. At night, when cops can't see race, the rates get closer. When whites are caught with pot, they're not charged. Not true with blacks. Why do you think blacks fill our prisons? They're prosecuted more, have less resources for a defense, and get longer sentences.
Are you familiar with real estate red lining? How about the broken window policy? Blacks have been written out of programs that are supposed to benefit the common citizen.
@@charlidog2 blacks can't even get pulled over more than whites, we have 70% more population than them and a way higher rate of being pulled over. You can't say whites aren't charged for having pot because they are, and 99% of the time it'll be charged according to how much was in possession, or of they were driving, or whatever the scenario is. Why are there so many black folks standing up and saying that all of what you're saying is exaggerated and falsified? Why are there more and more coming out and telling others to stop acting like everything is racist and orchestrated? But no, they come forward and get shut down, silenced, called race traitors, and ridiculed. That tells us all we need to know
People really need to spend less time focusing on skin color.
It's not even skin color. It's all labels. Labels push us into different groups. We judge and compare different groups creating a us vs them. Than focus on what they have and we don't. Funnily enough the other group is doing the same thing so we now operate in a society where victim status is the most powerful thing and all groups highlight there victimhood status and whine about it so things that will actually make out society and likely the rest of the world better too is pushed to the back burner.
We are all just clever stupid humans. We all rock at something and suck at a lot of shit. That's just how it is.
Victim mentality needs some excuse for their lack of effort.
Yes

For a better connotation as to the point you’re making, individualism, a policy in which you break down majority groups into smaller minority categories which practically have no difference from one another in order to give people a sense of self determination when in reality it’s just a political ploy to string votes by forming lots of minorities to form a larger majority.
Take care so much about the skin color and its origins then they should return to the countries and where their ancestors came from
42 years ago I was a poor single parent living in the hood with roaches and roof leaking when it rained, heat not working for days. My son is very well educated, great husband and father. Police detective rescuing children from human trafficking. Almost all his friends are in jail for very serious crimes. So don't tell me being poor and living in the hood means you need to steal and do crimes.
Linda- that's wonderful to hear! It's the parenting in the home not systemic anything! You must feel so proud of your boy! Good job!
@@livinthedream6191 very proud AND glad he is helping children.
Exactly! what I tell people who always blame it on the environment. That's why as parent, you gotta instill proper discipline and training in your kids. You can't live in an area you can't afford because you are scared your kids will be influenced by the environment. Proud of you Linda! Remain blessed

Good story…greetings from Stockholm
I've been white all my life and has never experienced that so-called white privilege
Whether they exercise it or not it doesn’t take away the fact that it exist
I'm a white man, and I'm doing pretty good. My grandparents were basically migrant farmers and had no home. They slept on the dirt, sometime they only had onions to eat for whole summers. They had a gratitude, integrity, humility and their faith in God. My parents were pretty poor, rural people, but they managed to scratch out a living too.
As for myself, I didn't have it easy either. I didn't even make it past the 8th grade before I had to start living on my own. Now, I've made my own way too, and I'm doing fine.
Life ain't easy for most people, regardless of what race. Gratitude, humility, hard work, frugality, delayed gratification etc...
These are the qualities that will keep you in good shape. Playing the victim card and the blame game will get you nowhere
I couldn't agree more! Well said!
how are you an adult (questionably) that doesnt know what white privelige is and how it benefits you every single day lmfao have you lived under a rock
If no one’s told you. I’m really really proud of you. Thanks so much for sharing and I agree with you 100%!
Not having it easy doesn't mean white privilege doesn't exist
Very true. 'White privilege' is prevalent historically, i.e. due to the past, white people are more likely to be born rich, be sent to private schools, have a head start in life etc etc... but the key word is *more likely*. Whiteness has no inherent privilege in most scenarios in the West, unless you're dealing with a white supremacist.
Its wealth privilege that exists. The wealthy stick with the wealthy and do business with each other and vacuum up more wealth.
The poor, will suffer from that, regardless of their colour.
I agree. Economic privilege is something that should be discussed.
Wealth also creates every single job that’s available by starting a business. Who do you think is paying wages? Poor people?
A basic understanding of economics would be of some benefit.

@@leohino9211 good for you. try growing up instead of pissing and moaning
Wish I knew where white privilege was when I was growing up! My dad worked during the day and my mom worked at night. You ate what mom made for dinner or you went hungry! There was no money to go to McDonald’s or even eat n’ park (restaurant) for a meal. We had what we had, there was no begging my parents for the latest & coolest things (clothes, shoes, video games, etc) The day we turned 16 we had to get a job & help out! My family has worked their a**es off to get the things we have, there was no pass to the easy life! So I hate when people talk about ‘white privilege’ cause I sure as hell didn’t get it!!
I grew up the same way and I’m proud of how I turned out. I wouldn’t change my upbringing one bit. Made me a good human being. I bet it did the same for you, mollee.
Your "wyte privelege" allows you to sit in America while you elect to keep criminal politicians waging wars and dropping bombs on predominantly people of color and not have those same bombs released on you!! It's pretty simple! Now let's see what your deflection gonna be. It should be interesting!!
@@firsteyebeats2617 You seem to be utilizing that same privilege to be here, responding to comments on RUclips. There are no laws in the U. S. that apply to me that magically don’t apply to you. The constitution, right at the very beginning, mentions the fact that “All Men Are Created Equal.” Don’t blame yourself failing at life on white people.
@@joecephus_3668 The difference between me and you is that by utilizing that same privilege, I speak out against injustices in America. You want to pretend that none exists!
@@firsteyebeats2617 Where does it say that I deny injustice exists? Plenty of bad things happen every day that are racially motivated. The part of that I have a problem with is when people act like that stuff doesn’t happen to white people. Did you know that an estimated 700,000 slaves still exist in Africa? The people that are enslaving them aren’t white.
I grew up poor, no nepotism or whatever to get a leg up. I've NEVER known white privilege!
White Envy exists
It is all relative. Not just to time period, but region, ethnic background, education, etc. They not only want to say that all white people today are privileged (despite poverty, etc) but that white people always were. That even today my white cousins growing up in a trailer park have privilege and Lebron James doesn't.
Exactly! You also would wear a scarlet letter for adultery, and couldn't show your ankles or you were a whore. Not to mention children working in factories & getting a 3rd grade education... this was EVERYBODY that was lower income.
I mean they do. Just like fucking James has a shit ton of privileges they'll never have.
Mhm
In the eyes of the police, a poor white person is still worth more than the average black person. That is the only fact that matters when it comes to life & death situations.
And in economics, a white person with a poor credit score is still more likely to gain a loan than the average black person.
Intersectionality is a very real thing, so you can't just compare extreme opposites and claim White Privilege is a myth.
@@kingace6186 You're actually 100% factually wrong. Significantly more white people are killed by police than black people. But BLM and folks like you like to play games by ignoring the raw data and instead going for "well, this percent of the black population versus this percent of the white population"...all I hear is "Yeah, we know hundreds more white folk are killed by cops, but we're going to need them to kill EVEN MORE before we care about white folk being victims of police brutality". BYE!
I’ve recently discovered your content and it’s so nice to see someone (a BLACK FEMALE) who the left insists is being discriminated against, fighting for the Right. Thank you you wonderful human and you have more than earned my sub!
@ColonelKrNeL it's mainly cause black women are portrayed as the ultimate victim. So it's nice that she's not brainwashed
@ColonelKrNeL it’s the fact that the left says that they speak for all black women but she is saying “F%#K NO” (essentially) kinda like a dad saying he is a great husband, and his wife exposing bruises on her that he gave her.
SHE IS BIRACIAL,
NEVER FORGET SHE IS ALSO “WHITE “
@ColonelKrNeL no that's not what I mean. It's easier to get brainwashed if your told your a vuctim
She’s not black she’s a biracial
Been poor since the late 70s early 80s when I was born.
Still poor today, still trade my time for money and my money for things I need to survive. Still don't own a house or property. Still drive a 12+ year old car. Still have time where the bank says "zero funds" even after working 40 hr week. Still have some days can't afford lunch.
And the list could go on and on.
Where can I get my white privilege, I think I missed that line. 🤔

How? Get a better job
@@che.79 well son the reason being is while you where growing up drooling on a iPad, some of us where out there building the infrastructure you use daily, where technology wasn't as prevalent as it is now. So in a economy driven by technology, physical labor skills, traits don't equate well into the technology age.
That's like me telling you a guy/girl who has probably spent their entire life around technology to go out and dig me a 300yrd trench by hand so we can lay down some communication cables for the local landlines.
Even with wage increases sitting at 3% it does not offset the 9.1% inflation, so getting a better job does not fix anything.
And "getting a better job" is easier when your younger and things don't hurt so much, when your in your 50s,house payments, kids etc. Simply getting a better job isn't as easy, much more rides on the fact of are you getting a check or not.
@@camelfilters3224 I’ve never even owned an iPad. I am 35 and am probably the least tech savvy person out there. If it doesn’t pay what you want. Go look for a different job. I used to make 30k in my 20s and now in my 30s I make around 90k. I have no education and barely passed high school.
If the January 6th situation was a mob of majority black people you think they would have been met with open arms 😂 That's just one example
I'm gonna go as far as to say most white people don't have that intergenerational privilege.
In the 1990s the US government deployed the armed national guard to break up a bunch of race riots going on in the city of Los Angeles California. In 1917 the US army was deployed to break up a bunch of rioting and striking Irish and Scottish White mine workers and agricultural workers in West Virginia. The term redneck was the name of the mining Union.
Those in power will actively screw with those beneath them for their own benefit and will actively manipulate those beneath them to fight amongst each other because of the simple military strategy of divide and conquer so long as we keep fighting over racism or not going to be able to scare to tear down and brutally eliminate the Scrooge mcducks of the world.
So pick your battles people you want to fight pointless racist pissing contests or do you want to take on the Scrooge mcducks of the world.
👏🏼
@@megteg thank that part about picking your battles is something I wish more people would remember. We can only put so much pressure on those in power at once. Spread that pressure out and you divide it allowing them to ignore it. Concentrate that pressure in one place on one particular political topic and you punch clean through.
We as in the entire population of the United States can't fight every single battle we need to pick the ones that are the most important collectively and work towards those.
My Dad worked really hard in a food warehouse freezer as a laborer for 30+ … dedicating his life so that I could have a better one. because of his hard work I am privileged. I hope I can do the same for my children!
My family ancestors were Native Americans, Irish and a few German IMMIGRANTS. There's a whole lot of people who are like this. Not every white person has "white privilege ", and definitely not mine. Thank you for your intellectual and entertaining videos. You're a very talented young woman.
A breath of fresh air.
thank you Amala. i’m so grateful that you are able to point out the hypocrisy. Let me start by saying that I am a white man. But first and foremost I am human and I am an American. We are all brothers and sisters because we are all our heavenly father‘s children, and it doesn’t matter what color you are. In my case, I was denied the opportunity to go to the University of my choice because of my color. I did not benefit from any privilege. I am a self-made businessman and I’ve had to work my ass off my entire life. What’s really cool, is the richest people I know are black. And good for them. they have realized the American dream, they haven’t waited for anyone to hand them anything, they worked their asses off too. please keep up the good work. We all love you out here
Boy I sure did miss that privilege. Grew up poor in the inner city of Baltimore. Once wore a winter coat with somebody else's name was embroidered on it because it came from second hand store. Skipped many meals over the years. Electricity turned off because you had to pick and choose what bill to pay so please don't tell me about white privilege.
Your "wyte privelege" allows you to sit in America while you elect to keep criminal politicians waging wars and dropping bombs on predominantly people of color and not have those same bombs released on you!! It's pretty simple! Now let's see what your deflection gonna be. It should be interesting!!

As a person who came from a white family, all of us are broke lol.
However my family did come from Germany during the war so we weren't here during the Civil War.
Mine also came here from Sicily where they were poor peasants.
I am in 7th grade, and I walked into my 6th my English teachers class. She has a list of books that she has read, is reading, and is going to read and I find it cool to look at those books. But one day when I walked in to class and look at her books, I see a book that is titled, “our white privilege.” Like what, I am white and I can say I have grown up in the same neighborhood of most of the black kids at school (which is Lot). Let me tell you, it was not a nice neighborhood if you know what I mean. Some of the black kids at school had it better than me, some of these kids had jobs and got big clothes brands or gaming consoles. So nobody can say I have white privilege, some kids of other races have big houses and I don’t and that’s good for them. But I know my white English teacher has no place saying that i have white privilege.
It depends, privileges don’t go as far as which you benefit off of financially. It could be something as simple as getting a better seat at a restaurant due to your skin color (yes this does happen) or not having to worry as much when being pulled over by a cop, or simply being trusted more because of the stereotype that white people dont steal and are good citizens. There is so much more to white privilege then what someone Gaines financially it can be psychological privilege.
Listening to her, it just proves that one's experiences are one's truths. I am just happy that her experiences isn't marked in situations where you aren't offered a job, promotion or service because of your color. This goes on every day all day and saying it don't won't make it go away. Please stop slapping others in the face by saying their really isn't ture. You only been on this earth one hot minute and trying to tell the rest of us why the world is round.

Only about 1 percent of people owned slaves. Most people were dirt poor.
and live was difficult for Ulysses Grant, George washington , benjamin Franklin , philo farnsworth, samuel colt, robert moog, eli whitney, theodore roosevelt
I'd also like to point out that privilege at our nation's inception didn't revolve around race. Wealth and ethnicity/nationality were what could be called the privilege of the day. The Irish, who today would certainly be called white, were not accepted as equals for decades. The same goes for Italians and even people of other religions besides Protestantism. Even the black slaves weren't enslaved for their skin color--it just so happened at the time that they were the easiest slaves to acquire at the time.
Later, as Christian thought began to challenge the idea of mistreating humans were black slaves redefined as being less than human to avoid the inevitable moral conclusion that it was wrong to perceive and treat them as anything but equals.
Yep. So many miss this point when looking at history. Its not all as simple as black and white, or even slave and master.
Fun fact: The very first slave owner in America was a black man who owned a white slave.
Omg..sure Jan 🙄

Exactly the 1% back then left it too the current 1% that's all liberal leftist ironically but the other 99% of us get non of that never have and never will .
What 99% of poor white folks inherited, (on both sides of the war), was the loss of a father, a husband, a brother, or a son.

Please educate yourself. 5 seconds on googling Americans old wealth families discredits your statement.
@@FreeWorldSpirit313 if that was the case you would have posted some facts but you have zero please fuck off
Yes they have privilege today and it still exist. There is no such thing as was and is when pertaining to privilege.
It's actually a naunced issue. As a white person who grew up in a Black community, I experienced both sides. Police officers on a call to a young boy with a gun behind my house did not shoot when they saw it was me. (It was a bb gun). My neighbor Shooby who was Black was standing right behind me and said he was glad I was holding the gun. We both felt there was a good chance it would have rolled out differently if he had been holding the gun. So that seems like privilege to me. But it ignores the constant stream of harassment and discrimination I faced from kids, adults and even teachers and bus drivers. It ignores the fact that I made it my life's purpose to get out of the ghetto. It also ignores the fact that the lack of privilege that Shooby faced all his life did not originate with whites. He died young, shot when he was trying to rob somebody.
That’s not about white privilege, that’s about statistics. Black people account for about 13% of the total population and more than 50% of the crime.
White people aren’t financially oppressing black people, they are oppressing themselves by choosing to hang on to a victim mentality and believing that things should be handed to them. Aside from the few rich, white people understand they have to work for what they want. We go to school, work hard to get good grades, take out painfully high loans like everyone else and get through college. Then we get a job and bust our asses for what we have.

White privilege is not the same as it was in the previous generations. However, white privilege is still very much so a thing. I’ve seen it and experienced it. I once use to have this young ladies mindset until I started to actually experience these things for my self. Saying it does not exist is abit far fetched.
I'll swap you my white privilege for your affirmative action.

@@Paisleyess Oh my 🫢…. Where can I go to experience such thing?
The young lady knows white privilege does exist she is just doing it for views and $$$ can’t think of worser way to make money
It does exists but people will act like it doesn't
Everyone saying it doesn't is either lying to themselves, do NOT know what it is, and / or diminishes it's effects on how it's implemented to this day. To say it's a thing in the past is dishonest. To relegate it as a personal effect as if it is not systemic and systematic is willfully dismissing it.
White person here wondering where I can find some this “white privilege”
Yeah I'm white and I haven't had the nicest life, I don't see any privilege aside from being a middle class person.
The only privilege we have nowadays is the privilege for an easy tan 🤣
Telling kids they graduated instead of having them earn an education is really starting to show
She said are there certain white people who do not benefit ... But what about the ones that certainly benefit from it...Honestly for her to say that white privileges Do not exist is alarming ... The systematic oppression built around white privileges still permeates today. Until that goes away white privilege will always exist
Thank you! shes fucking brainwashed

Thank you young lady you said it PERFECT!
They want to talk about privileges and disparities well how about the last two years where a million businesses shut down most of them black owned and many of those took three generations to make but no let's talk about the 1700s
Everyone should have your wisdom my dear Amala! Have a wonderful day!👍🤠❤️🇨🇦
God, I love how based you are. This has been my exact take on this topic for years. There is no white privilege, only wealth privilege.
white privildge exists, i love how the people that claim it doesn't are white people...
Thank you for speaking out about what’s right not much people do that now
Finally, truth spoken. Explains why my family is always one step up from broke. Yes, my sisters and i (and their husbands) have houses but we have worked hard for a wage, scrimped and saved, and (for the moment) have managed to avoid financial collapse. Unlike my dad, who lost everything to bankruptcy. I refuse to be labeled a villain.
Amala, love what you are doing….
Could you please contrast this “white privilege” victimology against personal accountability and responsibility??

The language is theirs. The priviliage starts by you speaking their language and not yours. Your ideology is of them. Hawaii is still under occupation and asking Americans to leave.
They ask Americans to leave but still want the benefits of and protection provided by America so they just want to be another Puerto Rico but I say if America leaves you get nothing and see how that works out for you when someone else swoops in and takes over
Who is "their"? Do you mean English language? You know it was the English who founded this country. I don't speak the language of my grandparents (Italian) because I am American. What do you mean by, "Your ideology is of them". Who is "your" and who is "them".
Thank you haha. My great grandparents were immigrants from Holland, Scotland, Ireland and couple other places. We didn't reap any of those benefits, and in fact Irish people were treated similar to blacks for a long time.
Well said. Brilliant. Kudos for not adopting the victim mentality
I have witnessed white privilege in my life. However when I see it play out it's in smaller ways that people don't usually talk about. The best example of it for me is in witnessing my soon to be ex-husband dealing with law enforcement. I am Mexican and go through the world as a non white person. When he gets caught with a large amount of weed and is not taken to jail but left to live as normal until they call him and tell him he needs to come to the station when they are ready to make an arrest for it and he's allowed to leave when they're done, that's not something a non white person would usually get. When he is pulled over for having lapsed insurance and the cop let's him call his dad to be added to his policy and then gets to just leave without being impounded or getting a ticket, that's his privilege as a white person. There are other examples but to me that has always shown privilege.
My white privilege ain't got me nothing I ain't worked my ass off for!!
You actually wouldn't know
Yeah, cause is one black person lives their whole life without ever experiencing any racism, then racism as a whole doesn't exist.
Yes.
I don't agree😁
I feel like there is still white privilege, but also black privilege as well.
With the media feeding that narrative, black privilege will continue to grow while still proclaiming that they are “oppressed” by “white supremacy”

What’s the black or white privilege can you give examples?
@@pleaseshutup7053 schools and companies will hire minorities for the sake of diversity instead of people who are actually qualified. So a company would hire any black person, Asian person, woman, etc bc it makes them seem more diverse instead of an Asian, black, or woman who is actually qualified for the job.
As for white privilege, people like Ted Bundy and Jeffery Dahmar got away with committing crimes more easily bc they were white. Primarily Jeffery Dahmar. The court protected him when he did harm to a young boy who I believe was Asian. They dismissed a lot of other crimes he did to black people as well. As for current day white privilege, i don't really have any examples, but I'm sure (at least in america) it still lingers.

She's a disgusting grifter.
You have made my day! Love your work 🌹
Stop coming up with excuses for why you aren't succeeding. Push through and don't give this power over you.
Girl ☠️☠️
Thank you Amala. Thanks for sticking up for us white folk. Listening to you is so refreshing.
There was a quote I saw someone pull up, I dont remeber who said it but it went something like "you can live just as unfortunate as anyone else, but the colour of your skin isnt going to be one of the things that makes your life harder"
I have a feeling the young lady in the video is trying to be more “black” because she’s light skinned. Maybe she’s been challenged about her blackness and thinks she can prove it by acting/saying this stuff. 🤷♀️
It’s always the light skinned ones that feel like they have to prove their blackness because black folks make them feel inferior for being mixed with “colonizer”
You already lose the argument by agreeing with literally all the premises before coming to the wrong conclusion at the end. Just because everybody doesn’t experience X doesn’t mean X is not a real thing. Not every black people experience racism doesn’t mean racism doesnt exist but knowing you, you’ll probably make that argument. Still sounds really dumb.
Exactly!! Well said
It actually does exist
No it doesn’t.
@@Johnhoward4794 it does
No it doesn’t give me list of all the privileges they have
@@jasonarizmendi6938 it does want me list it?
@@FairyTales-zn9zu another npc with zero brain. English please?
Your more analytical & broadly thinking than most these days thanks for the input, it’s sorely needed 🙏
I have this girl at work that always tells me I'm privileged because I'm white. I grew up in the hood. Gangs beat me up, had to walk to and from school because gangs ran the busses, and had to run out of a lot of classes to not get a beating between classes. If I had privilege I don't know what it was because I don't think I had it.
She's completely wrong though. Compare conviction rates with comparable evidence, college admission rates with comparable grades, or hiring rates with comparable qualifications, and the white privilege shines through.
Please stop talking sense! It's really pissing me off!!! LOL!
Yeah its pissing me off too. Let's gang up and start screeching really loud.
@@itsjustmechill.5292 LOL!!!!!
Or stop destroying my false reality activism is all I have because I got this ridiculous degree in gender theory. 😁
@@jonsingleton203 I need to believe that I can still be a bird or a cat if I want to and people have to do as I say!!!
This is the absolute definition of love thy neighbor , forgiveness and gratitude are key to a joyful life. 🙏
Thanks for your words miss
The young lady's affirmation is not an absolute truth if there is one exception.
I love your logic Amala and it makes total sense
When my family came over in late 1800 and early 1900's Scottish and Irish got treated like trash. And those groups and Chinese were enslaved to build the railroads.
I love you! Thank you for being educated on so many topics. I just started watching you yesterday and I subscribed to you. I enjoy your videos!!!😎
Same here…. She’s smart
Was and is
So profound.
I find it hilarious there are so many mixed kids that really can't see the whole truth. Keep doing what you do girl!!!👊
I was tossed out homeless and abandoned at 16. WHERE'S MY PRIVILEGE.
How did you strive?
@@vohmmay46 probably fighting and starving.
I'm imagining you having a conversation with Deadpool and him starting with "oh, you only got tossed..." Sometimes laughing is all we have.
White privilege can’t help u there tho so.
If you were black you would be dead. That’s your privilege.
Thank you! You say it so well.
Also I find it interesting that being white automatically makes people assume that ones ancestors were slave owners.
My ancestors came from the Isle of Man. They did not own slaves.
Well…with the kkk they still hold true with it. And many are in southern states
It's all about who you know. Everyone uses connections to try to get ahead... White and black.
And since the civil rights movement the institutions legally HAD TO END THE PRIVILEGE
The truth. Was and IS. Then and NOW!
What i have noticed over the years is that some nationalities cant ask for more so they get only that much. For example polish ppl were poor, so when they threw me a bone at work i was happy with what i got, until I have found out that others got a whole freaking chicken. Simply put, im one of the very best managers while being paid the least. Is it racism? No, i have simply not negotiated enough...
If there was no racism why did you need a civil rights movement and who is this black woman speaking for white people as if she is white herself and how would she know was she here when the Civil rights movement was going on? I doubt it and if she was I would say she looks remarkably younger than someone who was there.
what the heck is even going on in this video. Is it some sort of AA for racism
The correlation between hard work and white privilege is astounding!
Really, our founding Fathers created our constitution for all people ❗🚩
Iam so fn tired of hearing this white prevaledge...actually quite the oppesite anyways..
Thanks for setting this straight 🙏
My ancestor where Indians! We lost everything !! But I don’t blame anyone for that!! That is history!
