- You guys, February is Black History Month, and we decided to honor it by having another incredible Black History Panel with Black voices of all different ages and backgrounds. If you enjoyed last year’s panel, you’ll love this deep dive into what it means to be Black in America right now, especially in light of everything that happened in 2020. We talked about entrepreneurship, struggles with injustice and racism, how to leave a legacy for future generations, and so much more.

Hey, fam! I’m Anthony. I’m fired up about meeting you where you are in a real, relevant, and relatable way. Here on this RUclips channel, we’ll be having honest conversations about finding our authentic selves by living life based on spiritual, financial, and mental freedom. At the age of 19-homeless and deep in debt-I turned my life around by becoming debt-free, and I decided to spend the rest of my life helping people avoid the same money mistakes I made. Today, by the grace of God, that’s what I’m doing every day with AO Enterprise. You can rock with me on Instagram @AnthonyONeal or online at anthonyoneal.com.
I’m liking before I’m seeing, because this whole series has been really fantastic
Facts. I been really digging this.
Same here!!!
For sure
Absolutely!! We need a revolving cast
It’s only right!
What separates Weston from most of the panelist is that he looks at everything through a lens of the Bible. His faith in God is his anchor, it grounds him. This perspective is very refreshing because you see the freedom that he has because of it.
Amen!!!!!!!
The thing is though, the audience especially Black people aren't all Christians so his message here essentially will fall on some deaf ears. I'm Christian myself but I do recognize that not everyone else is, I'm not sure this man sees that. Or he simply does not care to reach those people which in turn means he won't reach all Black people or people in general.
@@greenfly0917 That's true; not all in the audience are Christians. However, I think he's using Biblical truths in his perspective because (1) as a pastor, he can't help but do so, and (2) being that he's on Anthony ONeal's show, it's likely that the majority of the viewers and listeners are Christians (or at least have a theistic background). Besides, even if there's much diversity among his audience, I believe he'll do well to speak from his heart using the Bible unreservedly. Many may see such boldness and wisdom on display and respect it, although they might disagree theologically.
@@grod805 Wait, now; according to who?! The last time I checked, as Americans, _all_ of us have the right to express ourselves however we choose, *even in the public square,* so long as it's protected speech. More importantly, it is our God-given free moral agency that grants us the liberty to say what we believe is true and right. That includes even _you._ That said, you might want to reconsider that statement or at least give a good argument for it.
Yea. But the same book has enslaved us.. He also doesn’t seem to understand how much trauma that has been placed upon us. His life is good.. so it’s easy to say fix yourself. Everyone can’t get that fix
I get what he’s saying. He’s not saying don’t fight for equality he’s saying not to let the results of the fight, the fight it’s self, or the ‘enemy,’ frustrate you
Amen!!! You got it!
His making sense
So good! I am Haitian and I was raised by Haitian parents, but yet I was asked by one of my customers years ago when I used to work at a retail pharmacy “Why do you talk white?”. Mind you, I have a bit of an accent lol. Interpretation: “why are you speaking proper English?”. I have never been asked that question by any other race. I was appalled!
I agree with brother Weston, we have to work on ourselves first because we will have a better chance to help others. If you are on plane and there’s turbulence, you have to put your oxygen mask on first before you put it on someone else.
🇭🇹 I was asked that growing up too and I thought that was stupid. But being haitian myself I don't think it affects us the same way it would affect a black American simply because of our background. We understand we come here for an opportunity therefore our viewpoints and upbringing is different.
@@ginettep904 I totally agree with you Ginette! For me it was the fact that I had and still have an accident. Like what? lol I don’t get that.
I understood that you must helping yourself before you help other people
That's true
Whew 😅! I’m so glad I am not the only one but I’m Panamanian 🇵🇦. I grew up back in the day when Black Americans really hated Black Immigrants. My siblings and I were bullied in school and told to go back where we come from. Then they get mad when we evolve as Black Immigrants in the states. There is way more to this than just the Black American community.
Personally I didn't care about what white people care about me. I care about trying to constantly improving my situation and my family situation!
Why don't you want to have a neurotic victim mentality, like Biden said you don't vote for him you're not black
@@BlackBubblesJblack lol
Amen
@@BlackBubblesJblack Ignorance is Bliss....
@@jarod133 just for a while
The Urban Guru is on point, wow!
You should care about your values and bring your best version. All this black and white stuff, you can keep it.
Some people won’t like you, sometimes the reason is stupid. That’s a fact.
We are all equal when we pass on
FACTS!
I wish they would get this.
My favorite saying from someone is “what people think of you isn’t any of your business.” Worrying about people outside of your control can throw you off focus from goals. Laws in this country really need to change for EVERYONE. Honestly I was watching a (I think) tiktok and some guy brought up making sure to vote every TWO years not 4. Most of the country only votes every 4. But laws are voted on more frequently. People need to be apart of that!
@@leeb4799 I agree completely. Everyone will be judge by the same standards. NO one will enter heaven without repenting and following the Lord Jesus.
I have tried to explain to my spouse on others that we have to stop crying over fairness from those that are Godless, especially on our jobs. Tying up emotion in a system that is corrupt is a waste of time. Focus, navigate, and grow to move your way through the jungle. But expecting more and getting mad when you don't get it from the Godless is ridiculous.
The art of communication was effortlessly executed for all four part of the series. They listened to each other. I really enjoyed this.
EC Weston was just speaking so much truth!! I love how he mentioned that we should train our kids how to respect people. That’s how my parents raised me as well. They never said be sure to behave like this around white people or like this around the police. Never. Maybe because we’re African and we don’t ascribe to the victim and fear mentality perpetuated among black Americans. I just love the Bible- it’s really the only book that is relevant in every conversation and I just like how EC Weston utilizes his faith to bring a fresh perspective and some wisdom to the table.
Exactly but to be fair as a black American this culture of victim hood and fear mentality all started after integration. Pre integration the black American community had a lower rate of kids born out of wedlock, higher rate of marriage and more independent businesses that supported the community. And this happen at a time when racism was more blatant compared to today.
@@riddickj16 Valid point!
@@riddickj16 Agree with you 💯 and on top of that we had a stronger walk and relationship with God as a community. The civil rights movement with MLK had God as the foundation, core. Now today as a culture we have replaced God with the government and politics. God and His Word is unchanging. Man is constant in a state of flux and moving towards chaos. We need to put our hope and faith back in God, not fallen man.
@@meeknotweak3 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@meeknotweak3 AMEN TO THAT!!!!!
In my opinion, Black people need to create their own privilege. Just like how LaDonna's family created their own and now they employ their own. We need to take our power back by being less dependent on other groups.
That's the most sane thing I've ever heard
That's the answer. But many don't want it. There's a comfort from existing in someone else's infrastructure. Instead of doing the difficult thing and building your own. Because all complaints are now directed at you. Many are afraid of the responsibility. But every other culture has done it except us. It's our birthright. You cannot expect respect until you build your own. The world works in group dynamics. I hope our people realize this again.
I been saying that. We beg and ask too much. Always having to go down the street and beg a man for a job who can barely pronounce our names right and rob us of opportunities we should've been given. Then we gonna complain and berate that employer and do everything but quit because we want complacency and have this idea of "moving up." We need to "move up" and build our own opportunities and create the world we want.
@@TheThotWhisperer Exactly, and it doesn't have to only exist in this country.
Having a successful business means, being open to everyone.
You’ll have a lot more opportunities!!
First off. This series is amazing! Here are my thoughts. I feel like as a community we are always in this tug of war with our thoughts on how we should move forward. One side wanting to free us from the burden and weight of the past and present transgressions in this country. One side taking on the full weight of these transgressions and making sure to keep everyone reminded of the past and aware of the present realities of the black community. It's usually clashing between one generation and another. The truth is that we need both sides but we have to work cohesively and respectfully as a community to do it. I'm 34 and my reaction to the history of the past and of these present years is more fresh than that of my parents who have seen all of these transgressions before. Information is so accessible nowadays that your heart and mind can be easily overwhelmed. They have taught me to not let the anger manifest into a weight that breaks my faith and keeps me from success and they would say that I have taught them to be more empathetic of the youth because in a way, the younger generation is fighting for progress just like my parents generation did in the 70's/80's and my grandparents did in the 50's/60's. Progress is the mission. Anyway. Longest youtube post from me ever lol. Love all of you . We are all made in God's image so we are all beautiful. Can't wait for the next episode! Now let me go change little man's diaper 😩
You said something interesting my brother I am 22 years young and I am taking by this series being in the middle generation of the youth and elder it’s more of the division in ourselves.For instants my grandfather said this before he made transition that stayed with me through time ( anger minds understand chaos by adding to it rather than a peaceful mind that subtracted from it.) See it’s interesting we talk so much about what’s outside of us but what’s going on in home ?,what’s the dialogue, and how we are equipping our children because I’m a father of two as well,and I learned from our ancestors is to find a way to move amongst this topic of system. We endured this to embrace the fact that they are using the same tactics as they did before. It’s like telling my son’s hey do not get into that anthill because ants are going to crawl out and get you and they do it anyway and now every time they see an anthill they want to destroy it. Now you have ants suffering for the other ants actions. All I am saying is that yes we have and still are suppressed okay so what’s next and In terms of living a life worth more. I’ll end off like this I look at freedom like adults and peace as children the more freedom the adults have the more peaceful the children will be for years to come.
@@theunderdogmentality3430 My brother yes! You are so right. Your grandfather was very wise. I have 2 little girls and a little boy and that’s my goal as well. Much success and peace to you and your family 🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@BrandonDejon Thank you my brother that goes double for me as well ! No candle less it’s flame from lighting another and I look forward to what the future holds for our families with conversations like this.
No disrespect to the young sister, but I feel like she is a bit disconnected with the full reality of the world and black people. I understand she wants to highlight the positive and strength not our ppl but I think she might be missing something. I listening to young ppl everyday and they are hurting inside just numbing. Many of us are unwilling to admit to being mentally stagnated. If it wasn't true then I would have so many clients reaching out for emotional and mental support. I've had to turn so many people away due to not having any more availability. We as a people are hurting and are in denial. Are agree with Weston perspective on creating your own reality while engaging the world.
She’s young and you can tell she’s angry and hurt she doesn’t know how to deal with this it’s tough
@@derrickmason7457 Absolutely agree. I think it's important for her to work through that anger so it doesn't get in the way of her journey. She's a sharp young woman.
Martin Luther King Jr. was viewed the same way you are viewing her by his contemporaries! The revisionist have portrayed the Civil Rights Movement as if it was accepted by all Black people which isn't historically correct. Agitators have their place in changing the world and moving all us forward.
@harlem Renaissance I agree with you. You can tell she's a bright young lady, but she is in her HBCU bubble. Sadly, she is the priviledged minority in our community. I used to be like her until I started working in a school and saw Black people from all walks of life.
@@L0VEJ0NES this is what i was going say. I can honestly say that’s a privilege we don’t acknowledge in the black community. Going to an HBCU as great as it is. If you don’t have the emotional intellect to understand outside world you lose a little sight of reality. It’s easy to be black this or black this when you have easy access to it.
Some people just won’t get it and aren’t trying to get it .. As much as we want to help everybody it’s not realistic.
Yep. It’s why I don’t blame some black folks leaving and not worried about others.
just watched all these episodes. BRAVO!! love hearing from these great people. look forward to the ep tomorrow!
“Are you going to get swept up under the rug or you going to do the sweeping?” THIS HERE!!!
That’s right
AO!!! Gold. Pure gold! Sending love and blessings from the UK!
You need to keep doing panels all this ideas and questions are the way to make people think and get out of their bubble.
I loved last year's conversation.... This conversation has been phenomenal.
What a teaching moment for all
You shouldn't care what people say in general. It doesn't help at all. That's anyway my take in life. It goes without saying! Never go living this life seeking acceptance.
AO mannnn this is goood, ooh sooo Good thank you brother!!! Keep it coming. I love conversations and Perspective of others!
As always, love the dialogue. It’s very important to have these conversation in our community, but also to be hearing and accepting the different opinions. Also, thank you for doing all that you do to teach financial literacy. Love your channel!
This series is so amazing. I'm glad how he has an equal panel of 2 different generations giving their viewpoint about our lives and community. I am sharing this with my nieces and nephews.
Loving these discussions.
This series has been so needed. Mr. Weston is on point. The black community's emotions have been on bargain basement sale for awhile. We are so reactionary to the world that they hold us with puppet strings. We have to stop letting others have emotional control over our lives. I'm loving this dialogue!
@@grod805 your entitled to your opinion. Black people are not monolithic. We have different views and beliefs. Glad we all don’t think alike.
@@TishalocsExactly
Folks act like black people are a tribe
@@allaboutthemurzic No more like folks think black people have become uncivilized and unruly constantly causing a hostile environment in society.... Mainly caused by a culture shift starting in the 70's and has went down hill ever since.
These are great discussions!
Preacher Speaking facts. I have been saying that for the longest. Its like telling me i cant drink water, it is that hard for people to change with will never be possible. We can Try
The girl in the black hat is going to have a really rough time if she tries executing those delusions she has. Up there talking about I will be respected by anyone I come in contact with that's a laugh. She's going to come to a stark realization not everybody in this life is going to like each other and don't nobody owe you anything especially respect. I don't know what world she's living in but it ain't the real one.
@@ursamajor6347 no I did not misunderstand anything. If you really think people are going to respect you no matter what you're delusional as well. Respect is a choice you say there is no other choice that's insane that is not reality no one has to respect you and that's their choice.
She's fighting a lie like lots of blacks she is obsessed with White people.
News flash White folks are not thinking about Blacks we're too busy thinking about our Wife's, Husbands, bills, children, education family, etc
So if we're not thinking about you perhaps you should be thinking about the black community instead of obsessing over Whites.

Well said 👏
This conversation should have millions of views. So good!
No one saw anybody moving by four wheels, but now cars are our main transportation. No one saw people flying, but now we have planes. People have vision of what they want in life. Just because you have not seen it does not mean it can not be created.
Love these open discussions
I love this series!
If our black race don't respect each other as equals how do we expect other races to accept this

@@davruck1
How bout stop the killing first. All other races know that black live only matter to blacks when it benefits them..
Life is different when you don’t see yourself as a victim!
@eoc1754. Exactly 💯
Modern-day blacks blame white folks for everything that gose wrong in their community.
See we whites use to feel for blacks and what thier ancestors went threw but not ANYMORE.
If blacks actually cared about one another then they would start by not killing thier own and stop having abortions for fun.
AO!! Thanks for bringing Pastor Weston on for this!!! Truth. When you don't know who are and trying to make people see your worth, life is unfair, frustrating and you're angry at everything and everyone.
Great conversation!
I loved this....my family & i had this convo over the summer which a lined with the young lady in the gold sweater that is my experience & my childrens experience
I think a good follow-up question would have been, do you care what black people think about you? Because a lot of people are living their lives for the acceptance of others which is why social media is so popular and some go into debt or get depressed because of it
I think we're fighting to be seen. See me as I am; not what you perceive me to be. Plus give me the respect and dignity I deserve as a human being.
Everyone is prejudiced to some extent and so we treat people differently based on our own biases. But don’t cry for person A to threat you like they threaten person C. If you do that you give them the power over you.
Just remember, that goes BOTH ways !!!
This pastor is truly walking by Faith and not by sight. Thank you Anthony for bringing the pastor on the panel
This was a great video!
Wow! Just wow. mr. Weston’s point of view is just what I personally wish all black people had.
Right?!! Man, tell me about it!!!
But they don't.
Notice how black lives only matter to other blacks when it benefits them.
🗣You betta preach SIR!
These people focusing on how supposedly oppressed they are and they're all so successful... they should be telling people how they did it because if they did it somebody else can do it so they're not so oppressed that they can't succeed because they're all successes the one lady is 5th generation successful
Great point! However, since O'Neal is running the show, I guess they're just following the program (O'Neal asks a question, the panelists chime in). Perhaps, on a future series like this, each panelist will be allotted a certain amount of time to share their story.
This is so good
This was a great one today. We have to make changes individually and move all the excuses out of the way so that we can began to make real change. When we grow and change individually, we can be in a position to facilitate real change.
without listening to the whole thing yet, I can tell this is a worthy discussion. There should be more intra-group discussions like this!!
I was always taught life will never be fair. Fight for what you can control and make life better for all those around you.
This year has been a lot better than last a lot more object people coming to agreement this is a good panel
E-c you're so wise my friend!! I need a mentor like this in my life!!
I really enjoy this panel
The biblical perspective in this video is AMAZING!!!!
The Urban Guru...Outstanding!!!!!
E.C. Weston, thanks for the reminder.
Godly perspective THANK YOU
If people do not have love in their hearts, don’t expect them to show you love. Do you deserve it? Yes! Will you receive it from them? No.
This panel is WAY better than last year! I don’t think I even finished this series last year because the victim mentality was beaming from some of the participants. I love these participants, especially the pastor. He’s so wise.
Weston needs his own platform. There are PLENTY of examples of black excellence. We simply want success to be easy and quick. The social media generation just doesn’t get it. Also, we need to teach our people about those who have come before us.
He has a RUclips channel
@@officiallydreama4412 thank you!
This is such a GREAT series! The question of "Why do you talk white?" is so ignorant and a slap in the face to a black person especially coming from other black people like...."What's talking black?"
You know what they mean. Watch Dave Chappelle do an impression of a white guy. Watch Riley from Boondocks do an impression of white people. Try googling "what is Ebonics". Talking black means you are using a dialect of American English that originates amongst the black community. It uses phonetics and vernacular that most white people don't use, and thus have a hard time understanding. It frustrates old white people that they don't understand what you're saying. "Ax" me how I know. My parents go to the south on vacation and can't understand anybody. They feel like a foreigner in their own nation
I love the intro of this video

I am biracial white and black Irish 🍀 and I'd love what people no matter race thinks about my race it's self awareness I care about 💕💯
The "Black Smile" lady youth and experience really shows. She has a lot of passion which is amazing. When she gains the wisdom that allows her to temper it, in the forge of life. She will quench a weapon and wield it to her success.

The gentlemen in the blue seat be preaching!! Yoh wow it's such a great perspective!
i resonate with weston so much like its wild.
I don't think the girl from the HBCU understood what the pastor was saying. She basically said the same thing that he said. The bottom line from what I understood that they both were trying to convey was to use what you have to sow fruit into the world and your community. The only difference I think the Pastor was saying was to do that without putting so much energy into getting Whites, the government, or whoever to see or care about our contributions. At the end of the day, if we're believers, our contributions are for Him and not for man so like the Pastor said why are we expecting Man/the world (unbelievers) to treat us equally and respect us. It won't happen on this side.
Amen to that!!
Yes I agree!! They basically said the same thing about helping the community. I think the girl from HBCU has so much anger towards the past & present. She said her anger fuels her. But it’s a sin to have unrighteous anger fuel you to the wrong path. It’s tricky to let emotions take control over you. Yet this happens to everyone.
@@jonalynkairan8080 I felt the same way. She's sooo angry and she's way too young to be so angry. She might be so consumed by what she sees in the media that its heard to see her environment what what it truly is. I learned a long time ago while they are distracting you with identity politics something is happening in the background that could be life changing but they don't truly want you to know about it.
I began to notice something was amiss when I started asking how could "the other side" not understand. When l started searching, I slowly began to see how we were being duped with the media. Even when you listen to many Black activists and leaders from history including MLK, they don't speak from this place of entitlement or "I'm supposed to have (fill in the blank)".
As much as I love these series, I just keep hoping yall touch on Mental Health in the community.
Anthony facial expressions are priceless 😂😂😂
As I black South African, I see the race issue as more of a class issue, whereby the most dominant group gets to decided everything for everyone else. Therefore, it is not so much about caring what White people think but, more a case of understanding that if 8 out 10 times that you apply for a job, and the person who gets to decide whether you get the job is white, then you have no choice but to care.
I therefore lean more to the idea of owning your own business and thus creating your own rules.
On a spiritual level, however color does not exist. However, the bible does make it clear to stand up for those that are oppressed and hurting. It is not right to stick your head in the sand, when people are facing issues. In the book of Esther in the Bible we see a clear example of this when her uncle tells her.
"For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
You can’t speak for all white people, I’m white and I own my own business, I hire the best person for the job regardless of race, I’d hire that guy in the blue suit in a second over majority of people,I hate how it’s made out to be like the majority of whit people are races , my daughter is black she’s adopted, I love her the exact same as my son who is white , just because you black doesn’t mean you have a lesser chance of getting hired , yes I agree maybe some places, but that’s not fair to say that about everywhere , the media only show’s the bad stuff and they are making it seem way worse than it is , they are trying to tear us apart and get us as divided as possible
@@Adiline164 I understand and I was not stating it from the premise that anyone is racist. I was merely stating that if most people that employ people are white, then as a black person, you have to take into regard how you will be viewed within that particular job market. The same will count for you if you move to an Eastern country, France or anywhere. You will find yourself affected by perception.
Affected but not determined.
@@Adiline164 Very true!! It's disturbing to see the media paint all white individuals as wicked people. The media thrives on division, which is why more people need to rise above the agenda propagated by the media. I'm African and I know that if I don't get a job then it's probably just not suited for me. I never look at it as "oh maybe it's because I'm black". Not everything is about race
@@hangulalukas2490 I gotcha I understand what your saying now
The man with the bald-head made the most sense.
People are always so worried about what other people think. Just take care of yourself, your family, and work hard.
We have been working hard for hundreds of years. We are tired of this bs. We hate it here.
Leave then
This series has been Dope ! 😎
I'm not a supporter of either politicial party and the dialogue has been very solid here.
How the girl in the bucket hat turned her head when the guy said "we have to stop complaining about the past"?
_Anger_ and _fear_ - these two emotions can serve as strong motivators. How? What do they both have in common? *Pain.* I remember hearing a preacher who once said that pain is a teacher like no other. Therefore, it can be used as powerful motivation.
In the case of Micha'el Davis (the young woman with the bucket hat), she confessed that her anger is one of the things that fuels her. To me, that sounds like an understatement. I'd say it's one of the _major_ things that fuels her. This seems evident in what you pointed out (i.e., the little microexpression, if you will, of turning the head) as well as Davis's disagreement with Mr. Weston's point about accepting the unfairness in life and moving on despite the fact. That may explain why she refuses to disregard or be "okay" with the discrimination that might occur between her and a white person. Her anger is probably vital to keeping her motivated, fueled; without it, she lacks that push for her mission.
Now, to Davis's credit, there are benefits in expressing one's disapproval of racial prejudices. Certainly! However, the downside is when that motivating anger, if derived from frustration with racial inequalities, begins to normalize and create complexes within. This would indicate that a deeper problem needs addressing.
@@jnorvil 💯
@@jnorvil You are on point.....She is young and has been threw alot but eventually she will need to start to heal with god's help and let it go. When you know your value no one can take it away from you and stop caring what people think and they can't trigger you so easily. I was just as passionate at her age but the older I get the wiser.... and I agree alot with Mr. Weston points. He sounds just like my big sister and like my mother.
Remember the past and apply it to today
White ppl say “get over the past” & they keep ppl ignorant because they don’t want ppl to realize this is the same system as it was run in 1800. Both white & brown are slaves on this land.
EC Weston is speaking TRUTH!
This is 👏🏾 🎉🎉
I wish this forum was open to remote viewers, to add their input. Maybe choose 2 or 3 viewers a week who can join via a zoom or other remote meeting app
I agree with the Urban Guru guy 100%!

A great support system is important, too
Wow, I like the facts, that each individuals facts are good too.

4:00. YES!!!
Black people did not come into this world to please anybody. We are our own people. I love us for us
I think black people need to begin caring more about how we see each in a more positive light, as opposed to the majority of the time seeing each other in a negative light! I'm not going to say we are the only people who can see someone of our race, for the very first time and quickly look for something negative to say about that person, without even knowing the person from a can of paint! Black people are very judge mental of one another! And there seems to be a very pervasive attitude within the black community of having to out do one another, and part of this permeating mindset is a big reason, why practically every other existing ethnic group in America have their own, stores, banks and communities except black America! Black America tends to compete very hard against it's own self interest as opposed, to uniting and coming together to compete against the adversaries who seek daily to oppress and keep their feet on the necks of Black America!

Facts black people americans need to come together and work as one
All this race stuff is getting ridiculous. What gonna happen we Latino start up, start worrying what others think? You control your destiny and only God knows the answers.
I wish it was that simple but that’s just not the reality of what happens in America.
@@jaunt3603 I feel like none of you are watching the panel. There were also a lot of other black activist other than MLK let’s learn from them as well.
@@jaunt3603 If you have been watching the panel this topic was brought up before. You’re kinda just taking it out a context and turning the conversation into something it’s not. The reality is it isn’t black and white. I wish people
treated each other based on their chats and not their race but that is just not how it is. Sorry pal.
The foundation of America was built on race ..lasted a very long time meaning it wont go away anytime soon. Latinos have the right to speak on issues they care about...
Amen
'Let me ask you this?'.. When he says that, he about to get deep!!!
I dont care about black and white..i care about right and wrong.
Yes, Absolutely a Deep Conversation
15:20 She's speaking about paradigm and wondering how to shift it. Good question, Miss.
Brother in the glasses dropping game
I agree with the young girl, I do not care about what they think about me. As long they respect me I am good :)
Racism isn’t just about the color of your skin. Some people dislike or disassociate with black people because of the stereotypes we portray. There are a large amount of black people who partake in bad culture. Our most popular genre of music glorifies selling drugs, killing, disrespecting our women. We are very violent to each other. So many black men are murdered a year. And that is glorified. Many of us don’t like to conform to normal civility. We choose poverty with so many single parent homes. We make up the largest percentage of the prison population. So when you take all of that into account and you are a non black person looking from the outside in you can’t help but look at this group of people as failures and self destructive. If you simplify all of that into “racism” you are ignoring a WHOLE lot of factors that lead to non black peoples perspective of us. We really are afraid of honest conversations.
This!!! I think a lot of black people expect to be treated with respect just because they're human, and that's basic human decency, in an ideal world. But how I see it, the way a group of people are treated has a lot to do with their economic power/stand in the world. Let's take the asian race for example, not all of the asian countries are affluent or have economic power, just a few of them but I have noticed the rise in status it has given the whole asian race in society. Of course they still face racism individually but as a group their status has definitely risen.
@@ederlinerosenberg6813 definitely! I wish more of my people understood this concept. At its core disliking somebody bc of their skin color is stupid and has no real argument. Its all about socio economic power
Every and I mean every race in this country has a element of "bad" culture. Propaganda makes you think it's just black folks but foul things have been done in history that gets overlook and given the benefit of the doubt. Black Americans have elite that have done amazing things...inventors etc etc but no the stereotype of ghetto and hood is labeled. I'm sorry but its bs imo
@@Cahluvca You're right, every race has their bad culture but the thing is they've either suppressed, twisted or become powerful that the bad side of their culture gets overlooked. Our people don't have that power yet both those in America and those in the continent of Africa. There are black inventors, etc etc like you said but they aren't known because the institutions that promote these people aren't black people. That's why your socio-economic stand as a race/people in the world matters.
Well, that’s basically racism: they are only connecting a race to only bad things. “Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Plus, racist people are always looking for reasons to support their beliefs; just how I’m always seeking for reasons to support my beliefs. It is something that will always exist. No matter how wealthy blacks get.
Wow!!! Why are we trying to be equal with an evil world?! Selah ... 🤔
I don't think wanting 2 be equal with the evil world is the goal. It's being seen equally as HUMANS that seems to escape some.
@@godz4ever404 We shouldn’t care how we are seen. We should just act human, be human and treat others as such.
A lot of the panel can't stop personalizing the question
I need to link with Mr. Weston. I would love to have a conversation with him. He’s dropping gems and some of the other on the panel still don’t get it.
New Subscriber here, I've been very interested in your Panel Meetings. Can we talk about how the lack of Generational Wealth effects Black Communities? And how having such a privilege boosts you forward in life more than most? I know it's about to get deep! Love the vids!
I actual think everyone had a valid point. The Black experience in this country is so vast sometimes it could be hard to work as a community. It’s a lot of individual battling going on, from one black person experiencing colorism, to another being educated, another who was born into prestige, others who are economically disadvantaged. It’s so different the answer to these controversial questions are never black and white.
I am so ready for tomorrow. Is it tomorrow as yet?
