      My wife is black and her entire family was really accepting of me at the peak of trump. On the streets though - it's the kids. YOUNG black people absolutely hate white people; because they've been taught to. Not by their parents, not by anecdotal experience, but because the media has told them to over and over for the majority of their lives that they are separate. They encourage segregation rebranded as safe spaces. They encourage racism rebranded as social justice. It's a manufactured divide for the sole purpose of votes. We are to the government what South Africa is to bill gates. Test subjects.

      I am an indigenous canadian, and we have alot of community on the reserve, but step off the reserve and into the city and it just disappears. People don't even talk to each other when waiting for a bus or in break rooms at work they just stare at their phone. But on the reserves we have pow wows and potlatch's and block parties and everyone on the reserve is like one big family. One thing I would LOVE to experience is a black cookout, I seen a couple vids of white guys being invited to a black cookout and the food looked amazing and the games and talk man it all just looked like such a great time.

      They present a fake version of history that is reliant on people lacking a basic 8th grade education in American and world history, and the intellectually laziness of all people regardless of where they stand on societal concerns.
      I am a white, heterosexual, middle aged man that is consistently blamed for people's troubles by the media that is patently a lie and racist, and I am also disabled, impoverished and a victim of Hollywood sex trafficking for over 20 years that has continued to this day.

    As a man in my sixties, it's very refreshing to see men taking on meaningful conversation about very sensitive subjects. These men just demonstrated what it will take to bring the racial divide back to acceptable levels. Nobody yelling or getting upset, nobody interrupting the other person, everyone showing respect for each other's point of view and finding common ground. While the mainstream media is intent on damaging our relations, it's going to take mature conversation like this to show the division isn't as big as people are told and the color of your skin has nothing to do with people getting along. It's all about character and these men just showed it. God bless these men; America needs more of them.

Not because the professors wouldn't, they were always there for conversations, but at the end of the day, it was me I had to rely on. And it will always be me I have to rely on to pull me through in life! Caring supportive words only go so far without you yourself doing the hard work!

      when that dude was talkin about LSU and the HBCU and how him and his daughter 'felt' different, I wish Crowder would've asked him if any of that might have been internalized and that definitely would get passed from parent to child; i'm sure some of it might have been real, but it's easily for us to convince ourselves of our own bias in those situations; you don't even have to been in a fish out of water in a racial situation you need to be confident in yourself before others are going to see you

We need to turn off our televisions that have brainwashed us that we are at odds with each other. NO, we are NOT. We need men to BE men.

    Man, this conversation really hit home with me. I'm a 44yr old white man. We don't have a positive social place like this barber shop. We just go in, get a haircut and sometimes make small talk. There's usually not a deep conversation about our morals, or our life's struggles. It's usually just a transaction and we're gone. Nobody takes the time to get to know one another. Even as a white man, I never thought about it that way. For me, the only place I have these kinds of conversations are at the small town bar. But that's only after I had been going in there for 6+ months or so. The people were nice to me but I was an outsider to them until I proved myself to be trustworthy, not out to get anything from them, or scam them in some way or another. Like the man said, black folks have to dim down "his blackness", I had to be proper and prove to the regulars that I'm not out to scam or deceive someone. I'm kinda ranting now but this is what this country needs, now more than ever, to put our damn phones down and go make something happen Vs watching other people do the shit we should be doing.

The fact that you took the time to learn it to get to the level where you can accurately convey your ideas and opinions to an English speaker like me is an awesome achievement, be proud of yourself, no more apologizing for language :)
      I've honestly never seen a non-native English speaker use "ain't" as often as you did, nor use as much punctuation. Are you sure it isn't your first language lol
      But I agree with what you said about the working class. Most of the tensions in society are manufactured and the only real animosity comes in outlier cases and in the issue of the wealthy vs everyone else. I strongly dislike Marx and Engels but they were right in pointing out who the real enemy of mankind is, they just didn't attack the problem the correct way and left out critical information. Hopefully one day we will be able to step back as a nation of working normal people and truly understand the situation in the world so we can begin the necessary corrections.

I think I understand what you mean, which is that rich people are more pampered and poor people are more resilient and adaptable to difficulties.

    This was awesome! I wish more people realized that white and black have WAY MORE IN COMMON THAN THE MSM WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE. I was taught to love all people and by the Grace of God have never seen racism in front of me. (I’d be the first to speak up if I had/do) Good on you for this! Make America Real Again!

    One of my favorite episodes of the series. These guys are the most honestly and it really shows how much the legacy media tries to pull us apart. Good work Steven.

    Their conversation about expectations was great. My best friend growing up was black, moved in to AL from NY and he got hell from the other black kids growing up. Why? Because he wanted to do well in classes, enjoyed science, liked nerdy stuff and didn’t like sports, and made friends with anyone who wanted to be friends. He got bullied horribly by them just for that. Because he wasn’t “black” enough for them

    Amazing conversation Steven, my FAVORITE videos of yours are when you go to where people are living and start conversations about anything real. That's what this was, that's why the Change My Mind videos are amazing, and whenever you ask people in public their opinions while calmly challenging them.

    Respect bro… I really appreciate this conversation. I admire your courage to be vulnerable and go to a place that is foreign to your experience and be honest! We need this!!! Please continue to be real and talk honestly. Truth is something we all recognize but engage with differently. The way you showed your perspective and experience is needed. This type of interaction is vital for people to see. You had so many great points that were considered and taken in. The barbershop had so many great insights to the new information presented in an honest way. This made my day. I felt like I was there. I need to go get trimmed up!!!

      Whites need to take a page out of the black playbook and start acting out of only our own self interest. Build safe white only communities, safe white only schools, safe white only families, safe white only spaces, just like the blacks get.

    41:00 Dude in the glasses is so right. If you're not used to losing then when you do you can't take it. That's why kids shouldn't get participation trophies. Teach them that loss is a part of life, so work hard not to lose. But if and when you do as an adult, you're prepared.

    Hey Steven and the gang at LWC. I have been with you guys for a long long time in fact I remember back when Steven was on green screen and production value was like $10 a day. This episode was not just great but informative and deep I think this was a winner for you and judging by the chat most of the watchers agree.
