Because it is disturbing to live in a society where being called a racist is more offensive than acting racist.
Because people are being falsely accused of being racist all the time. The word "racist" has been weaponized by SJWs and is used to shut people down.
@@toby9999 something tells me you mightve been racist lmao
MrToby well, there are two reasons I would accuse someone of being racist. 1) playing the race card or discriminating based on race. 2) voting for Trump.
@@toby9999 who uses the term sjw in 2019 anyway homie
@@daisydaswani689 So you respond to the guy saying calling someone "racist" is being overused and abused by suggesting he might've been racist himself...clever.
This is a WHITE PERSON (that happened to be a POLITICIAN) I can respect. He brings A LOT of good narrative to the racial conversation. I truly hope his insight is CONTAGIOUS...
So what you're saying is most white people you don't respect because of the color of their skin? You sound racist.
Angel Bennett his racist rhetoric is NOT.
@@deweycox6511 do you have a hard time comprehending? Angel tied respect to having a good narrative on racism. Like literally read.
The opposite of that is that no respect is giving to white people who have a bad narrative on racism. The defining factor is the narrative, not the race.
I agree, but it's sad that it has to come from a white person to get the point through. Buy whatever gets through to them I guess...
I'm white, I live in a small town full of white people, far away from elitist coastal liberals. *I never see or hear any racism.* In fact, all the racism I do witness comes from the tolerant left.
How are we supposed to advance as a species if we can’t get over how each other look. It really upsets me because we are capable of so much and yet we can’t get along.😔
I think it's more of a wealth issue. I never seen people get discriminated or treated differently based on their skin. But how much money they have? oh yeah
@@tatumtots6704 Tatumtos my friend you do make a good point, wealth is definitely a factor for most people. But believe me people do get hate for their skin color and it’s everyone not just a particular color my friend.
@@thefirefades2265 I can believe that. Such a shame. I bet as time goes on and we keep reproducing people will be so mixed that we'll all look so much the same that it wont matter lol
@@tatumtots6704 That is true my friend that is true.
You been to Africa? That’s why. 🤓👍🏻
This is why I’m moving to Europe I love America and it’s my home but this racism is draining... i know racism is everywhere but America is on a whole different level
Prove it, one persons actions doesnt make everyone a racist. You know what thats called? generalizing aka stereotyping people.
Alex Xandria America is the least racist country in the world, have fun going to europe. We won’t miss you
From everything I've been able to find, the only countries considered both "less racist" and "successful" are less diverse in races
Czech republic is rly good place to live in. You will not have so much money as in america but People Here are rly nice and polite. + we v got the best beer and girls ;D
D Gh Are you stupid? Name a country that isn’t predominantly black that had a black president for 8 years. African countries are more racist than America
Every human has an Average life span of 70-80 years.Why hate each other, just accept everyone as they are. God has created everyone uniquely. God bless everyone every country.
Because it's in our instincts to dominate and win competitions. Just look at every other species on Earth. They compete against each other for resources and offspring. Now humans have advanced far enough to not worry about resources and offspring. However, competing for social power and money is very much real.
@@abud2548 Exactly how is calling someone a racial slur who isn't even bothering you a way of dominating and competing against that person? It's just evil. It makes you no better, doesn't improve you one bit.
That would be if God was evidently true, but because God is unprovable, there is no God. God has no relevance to existence anyway, because it's clear that God did not care about it enough to remove the subjective experiences.
But I agree we shouldn't hate each other though. I have a similar approach to people who are actually pretty messed up. Hatred is wasted breath in a world where peace can be found and given.
@@HYPERPEACE If there was no subjective experience wouldn't that mean we all have the same experience and therefore be the same 'person' or the same consciousness? How can you be you without subjectivity?
😢yah this is great into why they do that we are supposed to be the same
Alien 👽 invasion is probably the best technique to get everyone on the same team.
Brue s slavery was out of business since like 140 years
The end of segregation ended like in the 60's
So stop talking about racism IT IS NOT A THING anyonE. Racism is not in the laws it is just in mind.
I AM a white supremacist. But it is my own personal opinion you have yours.
im thinking about creating a novel or a short story about it
@@gutsjoestar7450 you know if you read the graphic novel the watchman one of the main protagonist purposly sets off a bomb at new york city to unite all the people.
Lol ,even then humans would find ways of separating themselves into different distinct teams that discriminate against each other as well as invading aliens, humans are rarely (if ever) united.

Honestly, we shouldn't fight racism with racism, or hatred with hatred we all just need to learn to love one another to put others' needs before ours. We need to learn to put our pride down.
This is true. But everyone's so angry that if u say this you get bashed. But I totally understand and support your perspective
Im sorry to say it but racism is always going to be. You can not love everything, as much as you can not hate everything. It's a balance everybody has, but not many people talk about.
@@marcusjz4558 exactly sad part is it probably won't go away cause people believe it's still ok to judge by skin
Sadly most people are ignoring this.
That's easy for many white people to believe but they don't face anything close to what black people face every second of every day.
All humanity is my family.
even violent gangmembers who worship satan?
Jake Bagel like you?
Prophet RUclips you’re right it doesn’t. But the effort to make it exist still occurs
Prophet RUclips doesn’t mean we shouldn’t aspire to make it happen. The closest it could happen can happen in certain moments, certain countries, and then disappeared fast enough to not be able to process it. Utopia will never be 100% but 90% of it can in some places
Have you seen the silent movie called Metropolis? You can watch it on RUclips and I think you will love it.
I hear a lot of talking but no clear solution. How are we going to get to the point where we see each other as equals. Throughout history, there has always been a divide, even amongst people that looks the same. I will do my part, even though I know others might not. I will aim to be a better person than I was yesterday.
What do you propose? Only thing you can really do is inform people and try to enact policies to help but you see how white supremacists have hijacked racism and started this white genocide BS. Idt we can truly escape it until the system is torn down and built back up with all people at the table
@Lions of Israel ...what do our future generations do to combat the new racism? More slavery? Bruh
@Lions of Israel violence begets violence, an eye for an eye leaves each man blind, two wrongs don't make it right. If we enacted something that effects generations that had nothing to do with the atrocities we face[d], we're no better than the people of which we seek recompense from
Lions of Israel sounds like what white folks said after slavery "you got your freedom now your even" or Jim crow "separate... But equal"
Equality isn't dictated by one's decision of what's equal/even/fair, its universal. Could you imagine if we were held accountable for the crimes of black gangs? Lmao we had nothing to do with that but that guy says we're all to be punished equally
FATLACES THEDON I agree, but those at the table might not be a good representative for their people. Money seems to have more influence than common sense. Sadly. I believe that if you don’t have the power ($, or know those who do) your voice would would be muffled. Even in hospitals, why are there “VIP” rooms/floors. Money talks in this world. Equals, only in our dreams.
And Bernie Sanders is the man to sort it out! best candidate for Blacks has the best policys for everything.
Deep state don't want Bernie nor Tulsi. Bad for business!
@@insignificantindividual6949 actually it's good for business not bad completely the wrong way round for Bernie that is guaranteed 20 million jobs small businesses will be better off under Bernie Sanders because they have less to pay out and the more help from the government

@@tytlyf nothing wrong with his health. Is a very fit man most hard-working senator out of all of them he does 4 to 6 rallies questions and answers a day.
What does trump do f-ing nothing all day he has about 2 meetings one at 2 one at 4 and that's it, he does not work at all it is all done by the Republican party, he just signed things with his childish signature. Can anybody name one Bill legislation trump has written there isn't any
it’s 2019 and we still judge people by the color of there skin
Or believe racism doesn't exist because they themselves aren't racist
@@fatlacesthedon or believe racism will dissapear if we stop talking about it. Just no. Racism is here and we have to talk about it, openly, to get rid of it. Which problem ever, in the history of mankind, has gotten better with people just ignoring it?
Only the elitist coastal democrats are racist. Need proof? Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden. All of them are old, white and very racist.
@@morvorify yes because identity politics have done so much good to the US uniting women and all minorities against white males blaming them for all their problems and talking openly about racism=/=play the victim card which is what modern leftists do and people like you fall for it again and again.
@@caliente2512 you sound like a butthurt snowflake white man. Poor little baby.
I came to the US over 20 years ago and I have a great job in academia. But when I retire, I won't stay here. I am not a Christian (and thanks to Christian behavior of intolerance I won't become one), I am a person of color, unmarried, live in a red state and I openly support inclusion of all people of different strides and ways of life (even though I don't agree with the ultra left). That puts me at odds with the general mindset of any red state individual. I am fiscally conservative but I cannot vote Republican because of their hateful mindset. Inclusion and tolerance is the only way to keep the United States truly the United States and not the Divided States of America. Since Trump came to power and her was able to appoint three ultra conservative justices, I find myself more and more alienated and I feel that this country is becoming more divided culminating to more racism than there already has been. Though I have never been a subject of racism myself, I have witnessed it close up. The racism typically is instigated by disillusioned white males who adhere themselves to some orthodox Christian doctrine wishing to impose Christian style taliban 2.0 in this country. The fact that Trump tipped the balance in the SCOTUS so much will have major ramifications for the stability for this nation. The America at the turn of the century is not the America of today. I have 10 more years to go and then I can retire comfortably and I am out...
I agree with everything you said. I am a single, man of color living near Wichita, KS which is a very racist, sick, bible belt area. I am beginning to wonder if I should move out of the US.
I am also an immigrant to the USA and I know that this is the most inclusive , least racist nation in the history of the world. There is a reason why we come here from all over the world. We do have a huge problem with the corrupt rich democrat elites. They have been exploiting black people for political gain over many decades. They create this false idea that America is racist and there is white supremacy in every corner. That is a lie. Trump has exposed the fake liberal media for what they are. Don’t tell me that all of those illegal aliens on the border from Latin America, Jamaica, Haiti etc etc are just idiots coming here to be abused by white man. You have a great job you say? How the heck did you end up with a great job with all of the systemic racism blah blah blah in place??? It’s a huge lie, the democrat elites are disgusting for doing what they are doing.
@@TormentorRain You have read too much Ben Carson Soap. The US is in the core a very racist nation, still today because of what happened in the past. Now racism is indeed addressed and the country tries to deal with it, sure. But when I look in the housing market policies alone, I can come with a plethora of examples how blacks are discriminated at. It starts with a loan application. You want to rent? Reveal (an investigative program) has done extensive research on that as well. Do I need to go on? From your rant I can tell you have swallowed a lot of right wing vitamin pills. Least Racist nation? My Foot!
@@mathisnotforthefaintofheart that’s exactly the problem people like you and the liberal media push a victim mentality on black folk and make them think voting democrat will save them. It’s a disgusting race hustle. I see black Dominicans come here without a penny in their pocket a 5 years later own multiple homes. Why? Because they don’t listen to the garbage on cnn and msnbc . They don’t get brainwashed by hustling rich democrat elites
@@TormentorRain Like I said earlier...you read too much Ben Carson garbage. And unlike you, I don't put politics into the discussion either. Wait and see what happens when the demographics of this nation is really shifting to a point where the whites will be the absolute minority. It's a matter of time. You think those ultra right wing extreme groups is just some fancy nightmare? Are you ignorant or what?
I love how racism in America is black vs. white when there are other races; Native Americans, Hispanics(Ethnicity technically but still), Polynesians, and Asians. Like Native Americans and Hispanics experience the same thing as black people but aren't brought to the topic. Someone explain that to me.
Only Blacks got the special 400 year race marginalization treatment!
@@cordwainerbird5550 and if they are talking about black people in this video, why won't they title it racism for black people in America, instead of just racism.
At the end of the day it boils down to white vs non-white. Native americans along with black people were the first to experience racism in the country. Hispanics like Mexicans came next in the 20th century. And for other hispanics from the Caribbean or south America, it just depended on how white or black you looked (a lot could pass).
Just pointing out..the founding fathers never intended every race color ect to be united. There are tons of quotes of the founding fathers wanting America to be white. Don't get mad at me in just saying what they said. Just something I hear alot that's always wrong.
Well actually it was based on the idea of white america in fact it was based on the idea of free America and humanitarian rights so with that being said they didn’t hate other races because they weren’t white they hated them because they weren’t free or pure blood American and over time as slavery was abolished that’s when they started hating blacks on a racist level as they saw them as a threat to there white society
Does that change the fact that the constitution applies to every single person?
I'm soo happy i live in Europe, America is always shown like an amazing place where everyone wants to go but it's not. I feel like everyone should realise that.
Me too I live in Europa
True
europe is where racism started ffs.
Y’all have race issues and Europe too y’all just act like it doesn’t exist and never talk about it
Don't act like y'all innocent either 🚮
i feel that, one good way to combat/eradicate racism is through education - teach the value of love and acceptance to all and start on the young.
it should also start at home - parents are the first educators
2 things to teach, stop telling kids you cant succeed because race, and start teaching them how to succeed, second, explain the problem with single parent households and how that negatively impacts them and their future children...in short...personal responsibility
That's an admirable sentiment. But I'm not hopeful. Many of the most destructive racists are highly educated--graduates of the world's best universities and very aware of history. But they still make and pass policies that enforce systematic racism.
@@tomhal4388 in the USA, please name one law still in effect that is racist....that isn't about harming whites
@@75ur15 👏🏽
really u r too naive
I'd say in the top 5 on the issues list. Cause lets be honest, who cares if people are racist is everyone is dead and the planet is just a smoldering lifeless rock.
Someone that gets it
To be fair, climate change isnt a well developed science (at least to be fair, 5 years or so ago was the last time I did "the research")
Some basic facts we can (read should) all agree on
1) the climate does change
2) humans have an effect on that change
3) we DO NOT have the models to accurately predict the result of that change
Now having said that, we can come to an understanding of some of the possible outcomes, but until we have the tools to predict the effect we are having, we cant have an honest discussion about what if any changes should be made
This isn't opinion it is truth.
Nobody likes getting accused for something they don't think they do, that's why someone telling you you're privileged is kinda irritating. but today I decided to open my mind up to this video, and I believe everything this man says! but when it came to his solution about how to fix this issue, is where I found frustrated again. he says "treat everyone equally" and i'm like "but I've always been fair to everyone, like for real! I really don't give a f* about skin never have" Anyone else feel this way?
You may treat people fairly and so do I but what if other people don't do the same thing as what we do? That's why he is saying "treat everyone equally" because this message is for the people who don't treat others fairly.
What you have to understand is even where the labels of blacks and whites began: it was a result of an event called Bacon's rebellion- where blacks and whites banned together to rebel against the European elite oppressors. And they almost overthrew them.
So, as a result, and to make sure nothing like that ever happened again, the elite created a cast system that still exists today. They told the white endentured servants that they were white, like them, and would be given freedom, land, and authority over the blacks who would never be allowed to be free as a result- this was the first of white privilege. The system was created to ensure that whites would never again join with blacks to challenge their control.
Since slavery ended, that system of racism has become more and more unpopular, and thus in many aspects has become hidden- but yet remains.
Those who are in control, many of which are our politicians, don't care if whites say the don't mistreat blacks or even see them as equals. But what they will not tolerate is another unified effort to have that cast system destroyed, because they feed off of it.
Like pac said some things will never changed Racism is main one
yes because it’s an opinion. You guys act like there is some way to fix racism; THERE ISNT. Some people just have opinions that you may not like. Just like sexism, fat shaming, or what have you
@@ilikelebronjames6426 there will be a day where racism and sexism do not exist, just not any time soon.

@Oluwafunmilayo Oyefeso She makes you feel disgusts, how? for telling the truth? People at the Top known as"white people" need to understand that they aren't the only race..now go to bed..
The real problem is the “we are are created equal” comments.... we are not created equal when a black American lays dead because they look threatening... we are not created equal when a white bank robber can still get a job at a bank just because he’s white... these “we are all created equal” comments hurt the issue the the most because those saying it are choosing to act as bystanders when in reality they play some part... ignorance shines through those that choose not to address the racism directly when they live in a country and society that only revolves around color.. whether you are white, black or purple.. the color of your skin and your race will be what determines how you will be forever treated in America... and yes those comments can come from all colors they are EQUALLY ignorant..
@@caribmassacre9951 But here’s the real problem that we need to work in a dress white people think that they’re superior and they think that they can do whatever they want but this is what white people just don’t get why you have every right to be prejudiced we have every right to not respect him but all the daily lives they’ve been disrespecting us and they’ve been racist towards us so that gives them the coverage to be racist an equal and biased towards us and like dead as they do it but us as Black people in this millennial starting to wake up and starting to stand up for ourselves and even when we stand up for ourselves they get mad otherwise
"it's not hard for ppl to acknowledge they learned something the wrong way, it's hard...

@Moist Initial This is easily one of the most racist things I've ever read on this site, and the fact that you see absolutely nothing wrong with it is genuinely terrifying.
Love love love this! Thank you so much for your work and for reminding us that we should not just ignore this. We need to give it the importance it needs! I appreciated how you talked about how white people are resistant to the idea of “white privilege.”

So Nigerians, Caribbeans, Asians, and Jews are the most successful ethnic groups in the US, yet there is somehow tons of "Institutionalized Racism" still left in this country. All four of those groups have at one point been terribly discriminated against, but they don't let past discrimination hold them back TODAY. The reason those four cultures are successful is not because of privilege, it's because those ethnicities and people from those cultures share two common things, the expectation that you should maintain a nuclear household (father and mother together peacefully living under the same roof), and an emphasis on education. If all Black Americans across the nation valued marriage and a good responsibility, they would very quickly surpass the average White person in many metrics.
You have no idea what you're talking about! The non-white immigrants you mentioned are all given special privileged treatment in cômparison with American Blacks! I have witnessed this many times! In management circles, it's become fashionable to place these foreigners ahead of American Blacks! Even when American Blacks have concrete SUPERIOR credentials, foreigners are placed ahead! This is WRONG!
@@cordwainerbird5550 Are non black minorities considered better than blacks by white people? Yes. Are they given privilege when blacks have better qualifications? No. But, believe me, us non white minorities are with the black community through and through.
I am a white male that went for a union job more then qualified and the business agent closed his door behind me and said " I would love to hire you but I have to hire that black girl out there with no drivers license " and I have a CDL class A with perfect driving record. It happens to us as well. I also do not understand how you have so much crime in an area where people are given free housing and food give me the same and I will capitalize on that gift and pay it foward. Its a lack of parents and thats both whites and black and green Everyone.
" I would love to hire you but I have to hire that black girl out there with no drivers license "

This is the problem we need more conversations about this with compassion. We need more people in power who thinks racism is a white persons problem. It’s not African Americans problem to help us understand what racism is it’s our problem to fix.

@Lions of Israel - Mark Alan King literally those verses were irrelevant and did not provide any solution at all.
In the Bible, Jesus said that love amongst one another is the greatest commandment
And that we should first love one another
I firmly believe that because love heals. But the government and other groups on this country from time to time stir the pot (for their own gain) and cause anger and divisiveness to come back again. It’s like picking a scab that was healing already
I look so forward to the time when governments and groups of rich people that stir that pot can no longer cause this harm. And all races will be able to live amongst one another in that sincere love that Jesus spoke about
It's interesting you quote your religious book. I am not a Christian and because of Christians I have zero inclination to become one. The more religious a Christian is, the more hateful and hypocritical they are. I find the tolerance in particular among the very conservative Christians to be subzero. If Christians would put God in the White House, HE would eliminate all the religious zealots from this nation...which is about 95% of the Christians. Sorry not to offend you personally (!!), but if you want to know why Christianity repels so many people, go visit a ultra conservative church to find out. Evangelicals are no different than taliban. If someone comes to me with a biblical explanation, I politely walk away. I live in a red state, I have seen it all...
@@mathisnotforthefaintofheart That has been my experience with conservative Christians also after living in racist Republican areas like Central PA, South Central KS, SC and TX.

Diversity is not a strength. Let’s stop pretending it is. Diversity is a struggle and it is not easy.
What makes us strong is what we have in common, not what makes us different.
Diversity of ideas is a strength, diversity of race us a struggle that doesn't have to be, people need to stop putting a wedge in there
you misunderstood. Diversity in race is a superpower because a country that can represent all people and act unified as if it's one country, because it is....is the biggest superpower of all time. Racism is such a minor social construct keeping us all behind.
“To judge ppl based on what’s in their soul”. Would exacerbate the problem.
I would like someday exist a land where all people is treated with respect of its existence inside and outside as long as it do not hurt others.

@Sigma Nayo I don't think he said anything about the words affecting him emotionally... Also, I can't help but point out the irony in your statement, as the people who complain about contrived things such as unquantifiable "privilege" will say that speech is tantamount to violence and actually oppresses "marginalized" groups, so to say that people have the ability to control how words affect them is super insensitive of you (and true 😂). Remember your words the next time a radical Leftist incorrectly states that speech = violence.

contrary to popular belief, americans are not open about race. they are the most closed off about it. everytime i traveled to other countries, the racism was worse and a lot more openly blatant. that doesnt make america better, but it does mean that strides we have made are not meaningless like theyre put out to be. americans complain about race but we are also the most pushing to the issues that are affected by it. it is written in our history. we are literally founded on race based genocide. the more we talk about it, the more discomforted we get and the more closed off we get about it as a result of reality coming to light. you have to keep fighting it though, and thats what america is good at doing. you can tell seeing as how despite all that historical adversity, america is still becoming more and more diverse.

I decided to check out this channel and I've come to the conclusion that this is nothing more than propaganda.
Name something that isn't propaganda. Unless you live in a very delusional world.
Lol are u serious. RACISM is not an issue st playing the victim.
There is no racism.the word RACISM DON'T LIE
Edit ,: this is sarcasm
Yep. Racism is a complete lie made by the government to get you to pay more taxes, like when they try to make you get evil vaccines and suffocate yourselves in masks. Edit: Just to make this clear this is sarcasm
You sound like an angry white male in denial. A shame
Oluwafunmilayo Oyefeso I know I’m being sarcastic
vKaran12 I’m being sarcastic
@@aidenp37 ok. lol but there are a lot of people who actually say this with complete conviction.
There is no such things as equality. No one is equal to anyone. No two people on this earth are equal. Its not about equality. Its about realizing that all human beings have talent, strengths and weaknesses and acknolwedging that its okay to be imperfect. Its about realizing and learning skills such as empathy, patience, kindness, grace, mercy and forgiveness. Jduging invovles punishment. Judge the big things. Let go of the little things. Learn discernment. Discern between right and wrong and act accordingly. its dumb to judge people on physical traits that they have no control over. its wickedness.
The ones yelling "racism" are usually the ones who are racists.
This video should be shown in every school
I agree it's not only that statement is true but if African American and american people respect one another it will help America have a better education in the future if black and american nationality come together in peace starting now or where not gonna have a future if the violence continues umm you know.
I appreciate the perspective! In the last video on my channel, I create a news satire just on positive news - which includes SOLUTIONS to "negative" things such as racism and NOT just talking about it. I hope we inspire people to think critically about racism. Just subscribed to your channel too!
Racism is a form of ignorant hate. Just the fact that you hate someone because of their skin is stupid.
And talent is not equally distributed.. talent is just talent. You've got it , or you dont. Skill can be equally distributed.
It we'll continue to be only an open mind can beat it because deep in our DNA we're made the same with the same wants and desires.
The demand for racism vastly exceeds supply
Political Parties Legal & Publicly get to play the race card, divide the country by race, social class and economics. Separate yet Equal. Let that sink in.

I think wealth is the biggest problem.
2:11-2:12 discusses the neighborhood gap which is not related to cultural spending habits not racism.
there wil be divison as long as this people exist - patriot, religous, ethic group, clan, tribe, nation, politician, etc
Great Job!!!
As a black man, rascism is not the worst thing...
Oky ask your great great grandparents they would tell you wht happened to them and you remind yourself something
Know Your Struggle And Create Your Future.. In America. You are feared because you are gifted.
well spoken.
I agree.
i think one of the reasons people are racist is a deep seeded superiority need within us because people always want to feel like they sre better than someone else and will look for any excuse to do so and if they cant find anything thinking you are better because someone else looks different is a easy way to feel surperior to another no matter how shallow it is or how much alot of people might think this isnt what thry do but deep inside we all do wanna feel surperior to others i personally find my surperiority compelx in online video games via trashtalk and pvp
Because whenever the news needs a hot story, or when a politician needs a strong talking point, or when someone wants to play victim, then racism will always be a go-to topic. Most people go through their lives not giving race a serious thought outside of an observation, yet as long as the powers that be keep bringing it up then everyone will always think that it's an issue.
Racism IS a serious issue! Only people who aren't seriously affected have the luxury of thinking otherwise!
@@cordwainerbird5550 it doesn't directly affect them so it's easy to say the things they say
You can't stop racism it's virtually impossible b/c there's going to be people taught by their stupid parents why racism is good.
Ah yes the 1800s Jim Crow somehow made a return after the 1960’s solved that.
Nice message, but not enough of us will get on board with it. Too many of us just don't want to.
He says it's easier said than done but that's just how I was raised people are people no if ands or buts skill color doesn't matter majority of us are amix of a lot of things anyway skin color can even change from birth to death maybe not to the degree of others but the point stands. Truthfully I was raised and taught that racism was gone on the majority as was sexism and though I am still not convinced that that is untrue I do still think there are scars left from times past and that there are bad people In the world and you can't get rid of them. On the whole to me it seems that things are better than they were even 30 years ago from stories and examples I have seen in my life
Get Candace Owens to see this and learn something.
Based on the comments I’m reading only half of the people here absorbed the content. LET IT GO. We all have intelligence and ability to decide to move on.
Hear, here.
This is gonna sound really bad, but we need more influential white people to talk about racism, because ignorant white people will only listen if it's a white person speaking, more specifically, a man.
It’s actually exactly what we need more of

If you have charisma then you can make progress
But still you cannot have the value of the naturally endowed

You can't get past it because you have made decisions that facilitate its continued existence. By protecting hate speech under the 1st amendment you allowed groups to write about it, speak about it in public and infuse politics and education with it. Racism comes in pretty handy when you want the 'have nots' to attack each other.
@SsSs RoBbSs Hate is an irrational emotional response that is outside of reason. When you hate, you want to destroy that which you hate, ergo it is sociopathic and not part of anything that is free.
@SsSs RoBbSs Nope, Hate is really easy to identify ... you will be replaced eventually.
Well this went 0-100 real quick
I think that racism is so f disgusting. I mean, to bully, discriminate, make fun of and more to another person only because they have a different skin color is nonsense. Same with xenophobia.
Racism is a bad thing, nobody should discriminate anyone for their skin color, I’m not white American but I have seen that the only time that racism is a news is when a black person is discriminated and not the opposite so this is a good business for the media, I wish everyone would get real and tell the truth, everybody is equal on the eyes of God, please stay true to yourself
This is a root cause of the problem and how to work to resolve it
U r so right on!
Sir, I would absolutely love to meet you. I love your true, honest and balanced perspective you give on such an explosive subject such as race. I love the way you stringently put your words in saying things the way they need to be said. When black people say the same things to whites like you've said in your video, white people immediately become defensive, insulted and angry and immediately accuse us of being an angry black person, when sometimes all we really want or hope is that they could See themselves and the things they consciously and unconsciously do that hurt, demean, or disrespect black people. So, I sincerely want to thank you, sir. You give bright hope to all of us for a better world where we have to learn to live together.
Leave it to a biased person to call another biased person "balanced"
Sir/Madam, you have been white too long if you can't acknowledged and reckon with the segregationist practices, laws and policies backed by our federal government to discriminate, subjigate, and keep black people down and then when someone talks about it you immediately become defensive, deflective,
and not willing to face the truth. This man told the gospel truth and I love him for having the courage to face the truth and acknowledge the Elephant in the room. The reason why racism and indifference will never end is because of people like you refuse to face the ugly truth about what happened which is the root cause of our present day American predicament and ills.
@@jameswashington4493 "you're white, buzz word, buzz word, buzz word, things I repeat from others but don't understand but just know that it supports my racist and self victimizing beliefs, blah blah blah" I'm not white and everything in this video is extremely biased and incorrect. If you think race relations haven't gotten better in the last 50 years, that's because you've only live for 20. Also the fact that you assume anyone that disagrees with you is white shows that you're just racist and hate white people and have been brainwashed to think that. Your daddy didn't get taken to jail because he was black. It was because he committed crimes buddy.
Sir/Madam, your comments are ignorant and ill informed. I am 60 yrs old and educated enough to know when someone is in denial and lives on a diet of misinformation. I hope your blinded eye will be enlightened to the real truth before you meet your Maker. You truly need a "come to Jesus" moment in your life. And by the way, my father was an upstanding man who never went to jail. In fact he was a police officer at one point in his life serving the citizens our city. At any rate, I'm done with your nonsense.
I think whoever created society(or some other word) from the absolute beginning messed up.
With the respect-for-everyone theme of this YT channel, it's alarming to see NTN so readily insult everyone from every other country in *North* & *South* America. You don't solely own the name "America," we *all* do! Even according to your own CIA's World Factbook, *there* *is* *no* *country* *named* *America* . If, say, South Africa were the US of Africa, would it not be incredibly insulting to every other African for them to solely claim that name? smh
You need to learn how to pick your battles. "America" is the colloquial term for "The United States of America" used by (you guessed it) "Americans". Get used to it.
Especially against Amerindians
Racism is happened in everywhere in the planet but not to the point losing someone live just because the different of skin color. Maybe American should try to devide the peoples based on the color of your eyes or maybe try to divide by short and tall people or the hair type. Maybe it will work better than divide people by the skin color
They don't have to belive. They already know it. It about Money and Superiority.
I feel sorry for all the people who had to endure such people up until the 70s. When only whites had human rights, how unbearable it must have been for all other races...when the state supports such people, especially the police.
My Mom tought me to treat people good
wow!
I really do believe we are all created equal! No one should ever be taught any different!
Best democracy.. my a**
If you write the "n" word in RUclips, it's ok for Google. But if you write the "R" word (ar e dee en e cee kay) Google will immediately cancel it!
The funny thing is real racism doesn't even need slur. Suppose you see a group of people of certain race X in a gathering or restaurant or a stadium. And some guy comments: 'These people should stay away from those places.' And suddenly all the racists crawl out of their woodwork and gives it a massive approval.
The irony is he didn't use a single slur but posted the boldest message. Google/RUclips algorithm is SOOO DUMB
I went to 1 of the best high schools in all of Delaware and I DID (NOTHING) to officially earn it but later on we move and my Sister who gets ( YEARLY CONTINUOUS STRAIGHT As) gets accepted to a (Prestigious Magnet School100% earned it her and the 2% of people of color (IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL) was continuasly told that unlike the white kids (THEY SHOULD FEEL HONORED,GRATEFUL TO HAVE EVEN BEEN ACCEPTED INTO SUCH AN INSTUTUTION) but the white kids all only went cause they lived Blocks from the school (THEY WERE NEVER TOLD TO FEEL HONORED OR GRATEFUL
@SsSs RoBbSs for what?
America is a mixed country full of immigtants, so why are they not strengtening themselfes by saying that they are living proof that everyone around the world can come together to work at something great? Their history is still a shadow for them (and should not be forgotten, history is important) but with the newer generations they should be able to break free from this cycle!
It is very easy to say what our founding fathers said and we have to get rid of everything that prohibits it. Actually reality is bit different, who have been ancient people of a motherland and who have made this nation great are the ones to take care of most repectably. When particular set of people do things contrary to what founding fathers said leads people to fall into these factors and end up defining them as race, creed,color etc and there is nothing wrong in it as it it eventual reaction against their action culminating not immediately rather over a period of time. When theat set of community even after hard attemps to educate them, make them proud of their motherland still resort to old ways or does things that constantly rupture country and makes it bleed that it shall not be wrong to say to get rid of this community socially,economically or even taking them down for sake of motherland. The natives shall not do anything that would harm their country if not drastically since they owe their allegiance to this motherland throughtout civilization. I firmly believe whatever was the national and cultural character of a country throughtout civilization should be kept intact and rest is temporary.
It is a lesser severe crime. is a plot device if you were. It is used to distract other people's issues.
