      The whole "only whites can be racist" thing came from academics who said there is a power dynamic to racism, where you have to be in control of systems to exert racism. But what people HEARD is, "if you aren't white, you can be as bigoted and nasty and prejudicial as you want and it's perfectly okay, because you can't be racist." That says a lot about what's in peoples' hearts, that they would willing choose to be the worst sort of person because someone said it was okay for them to be that way.

      This is very common.

Or maybe you just enjoy reading, literature and/or learning. Sometimes it feels like embedded traits of black culture seriously hold us back. It's infuriating, especially given the success of more recent African immigrants to the US.

    Fantastic video from you, bro. This really drives me up the wall. I was originally born in Rhodesia which is now Zimbabwe. When I was about four years old, my folks moved to South Africa and up until then all of my friends were black because in Rhodesia, it was a different way of life and unfortunately moving to South Africa under the old apartheid regime, I made friends with a black boy that was my age that lived down the road from us and my parents had to sit me down and explain to me that if the police saw me playing with him that they would take both of us to the police station and they would most probably call my parents but something worse would’ve happened to him. Trying to tell a four-year-old that he can’t be friends with somebody because they are a different colour doesn’t make sense to that four-year-old. I am so glad that my parents brought me up to not see colour but the person inside. As for the N word, I’m sorry but I do not like it even when they still use it today to refer to each other. To me that does not make any sense. It was a demeaning word used by the white man way back in the day to take away the self-esteem of another race so why use it today? I fully agree with you on what you have said and you are actually a very smart young man, which is very very refreshing. Thank you for doing the videos that you do and I would like to send you blessings from the UK. Take care.

      Just for a funny little coincidence, Rhodes is a common last name in America. My mother's maiden name is Rhodes.
      Aside from that, I wanted to share my thoughts on why people use the N word towards each other in the American communities.
      I believe it is told to be a term of endearment, almost like a way of "owning" the word. Unfortunately, as nice as that sentiment is, I think it's a lie. I believe people use that to bring each other down. To me, saying "that's my nigga" is like saying "I own you" in double speak.
      One could argue they are saying "that's my friend/brother" instead, but we already have words for that. They are "friend" and "brother/sister." It is an excuse to insult each other, and if my hypothesis is true, then they deserve to stay exactly where they are.
      We must not allow another's "feelings" to overshadow their behavior in judgment. Most of the time, people end up where they deserve to be. It's not always the case that people have good things stolen from them, and when that happens it must be acknowledged, but so too should we acknowledge someone's deserved fate.
      This world really is messed up. I'm glad to see there are others who still have some sense in them.

    Our society is divided into levels I never thought I'd ever see. It's scary to see what we've become as a people. Intelligent thoughtful young men like you give me hope that we still have a chance as a nation. You have an incredible opportunity to spread a positive message, and I see you doing it in your videos. There are too many youth using these platforms to spread the wrong message, or in the case of OF, their cheeks. We need more young men like you, spreading a message of unity and accountability. Its not a and black thing. Its a mentality of entitlement and narcissism that has infected our youth. They will use any excuse to claim vicim status regardless of race. Keep doing what you're doing and more people will wake up every day. Sending love and prayers. I wish you the best.

    Hi Jojo, What follows is based on a comment I made to a video by the channel "Kendel Reacts". I'm a high-functioning autistic, which includes the inability to communicate using non-verbal modes, such as facial expressions and tone-of-voice. When workplace activists probe for confirmations of deep-seated bigotry, they see those confirmations in the empty blanks of autism. That is, the activist's bias fills the empty blanks of autism. While disabled people are technically on the list of people DEI advocates, when it comes to mentions beyond preliminary comments, we exist only as people who are handy for exploitation. Because of workplace activists, I retired early from my career, since everywhere I went, I was more identified as a heterosexual, cissexual, white male, than a person trying to make a living as a software engineer. That is, I was not able to go to work and simply be identified as a software engineer. My education, experience, and technical competence were entirely overshadowed by my demographics-of-birth, including my disability.

      @halbleavy9900 no no, we're ALL using logic despite your best efforts to redefine your way out of the truth. No two people, regardless of race, gender, social status, etc, are born with the same exact preferences or talents, so to get exactly the same number of identity group members into any one spot means somebody is either not doing what they actually love and/or trying to live in somebody else's gift, often missing out on their real talent and passion. When Scandinavia made equality as close to perfect between men and women, for example, the differences in who went to what vocation got BIGGER, because nobody was coerced, persuaded, or govt mandated into a job. Don't think so? Where's the rush to have more female sewer workers? More white athletes? You leave people to their own devices, clear any group- based obstacles - real ones, not the ones you keep yourself back with - and people will go wherever they have desire and skill. Anything else requires force, be it physical or legal.

    That is John McWhorter. Be careful on how you listen to him, he's a 'liberal' but he is not 'woke' or any of that crap. In 2001, McWhorter's discourse was that the attitudes and general behavior of black people, rather than white racism, were what held African Americans back in the United States. According to McWhorter, "victimology, separatism, and anti-intellectualism underlie the general black community's response to all race-related issues." He is no fan of DEI, BLM and such exploitative groups.

    I was at my golf club the other day. I met a lovely woman who is black and we sat down outside on the patio in this gorgeous perfect day, and she had a bottle of wine she shared and we a great chat. We ended up discussing this very subject. She mentioned how she felt like people at this club treated her as an outsider at times, the members, not the staff. I have belonged to this club three years so far. I haven't met any other members She is fact was the first person that was nice to me and came up and spoke to me and say down and had a conversation with me and it was really nice and I had a nice afternoon. Anyway, I told her that while yes, it could be racism, but I have felt the same way as she described and it could be just the way people are there. It seems very clique-ish at the club. The only people I know at the club are the staff and now This one member. Anyway, it isn't always racism some people are just jerks. To everyone. If I am upset with a black person for some reason, it isn't because of their skin. it's because they did something that upset me. Same as anyone.

    The real reason that racism is viewed in the lense of black & white stems from humanity's #1 default setting of comparing ourselves among ourselves which is not wise, for it is God who makes us different
    I would be remiss if I did not add the reason why God makes us different: the bottom line is that God said I have glorified my name, & I will glorify it again
    Some for honor, some for dishonor
    Those that have (understanding), more will be added unto them; from those that do not have (understanding)
    The smoke from those who never received understanding will rise up forever as a perpetual monument to the Lord, & keep those who remain alive in the land of the living in righteousness forever
