What time
Blue afton 2:55
Bruh that happened to me while playing on PlayStation. We both thought eachother were white😂😂😂
@@jameswtlocs When I'm on PlayStation people can tell I'm black 😂, they're like oh you have that low sounding voice.
They did that girl at the beginning DIRTY
I feel like most people are not racist on purpose, so they probably wouldn't be able to admit that they are, in fact, racist, like she did.
She was low key woke though
Margot Abihabib highkey woke** lmao
Clickbait
But she did say that all white people are racist...
Watching this during the events happening in the world rn is crazy.

I love her!!
That skinny white guy is I think the most honest. The fact he straight up talked about how he has been racist himself based on what he hears and how he tries to fight it but can't help it takes a lot of balls.
Robert The 3rd By that reasoning, murder suspects should be freed based solely on being so very, VERY sorry for having killed an innocent victim. Big fucking deal...he gets it that he's a racist. It takes NO balls to acknowledge being racist...the implicit message is, quite obviously to people like you, that it somehow indemnifies the person from being held accountable for ACTIONS perpetrated because of being a racist. Fuck I care whether or not someone is "woke" to being a bigoted bastard or not, if both that person and the person in denial about it perpetuate the same climate of prejudice? When he's ready to actually connect being "enlightened" to changing behavior - THEN we can talk about having "a lot of balls."
@@ThomasFromTN Well acknowledging your fault is generally the first step into stopping it. Also, what he said isn't really racist I think. He said stereotypes exist and it affects everyone and it's true. He said he would assume people ethnicity from their language. Well I guess everyone here would assume it too. If I heard someone speaks indian, I'll think they're indians, not as just being a citizen of india, but being an indian as the ethnicity/race matching it. There is a difference between seing differences in people, racism is about the discrimination or estalishment of a hierarchy based on the existence of those.
One more exemple : From my name, would you be able to guess my origins ? If you do and you're right because you assumed my name is typical from any country, would it be a stereotype ? Yes, but it's not racist anyway.
@@ThomasFromTN did you just compare stereotyping to murder!? Lol😂 dramatic much???
Damn. Even blindness doesn't negate racism.
@@trafficcontrol2420 Maybe because people will always prefer their own race and people of some races are better at some things than people of other races. Today this is called racism, 50 years ago this was called BASIC BIOLOGY. The blind people in this video aren't racist at all, it's society that judges everything to be racist nowadays.

These blind individuals can see more than most of us.
Danm
Racists are blinded by skin color.
I think it may be even tougher for white blind people not to be biased or racist. Because if they grow in a racist home, they might not even be able to question it, because they may not be able to see a diferent race person as an equal since the first impression. And I don't think blind people are able to differentiate when some situation is racist or normal, so they might not be able to help.
No, they only see the important.
Honestly
Skinny guy is so smart, literally everyone has some extent of racism in them

HACKUSED OFTEN ok
HACKUSED OFTEN it’s not that deep to acknowledge that there are stereotypes tffff. It probably would’ve been deeper for him to acknowledge the power he has to actively challenge those stereotypes, but he failed to do that
HACKUSED OFTEN it’s “I would like to think I’m not”
Yes, we dont know if hes actively trying to combat those stereotypes or not. Personally i believe he is from how ashamed he sounded.
Marie Ferguson what’s that reason?
They are blind yet they can "see" these issues through a clearer perspective.
By that they mean they can understand
It’s a way of talking by the way congrats I gave you a like
Indeed
Not really
Are u dumb, being blind doesn’t affect any other part besides bein blind, u and 3k people are so dumb it’s insane 😭😭
The skinny white guy is not racist. Its honestly natural and everyone stereotypes
the stereotypes aren’t natural though - the stereotypes themselves are racist and shouldn’t exist.
ephemeral rose Stereotypes are very natural, whether that be race, class, gender, occupation and etc; It exists in every society known to man because it’s how its inhabitants differentiate one another. To get rid of these stereotypes, you have to change society.
Aaron *racist* stereotypes aren’t normal. that’s the point; society needs to be changed. racism and discrimination based on stereotyped assumption is *not okay.*
ephemeral rose Didn’t say it was, I said the reason why it exists. I also took your comment as all stereotypes not just racially.
Discrimination shouldn't exist, however stereotypes form based on different cultures. It comes in accents, activities, food, social groups, etc. Whole yes there are bad stereotypes, there are many good ones that just reflect different ways of life. Therefore, natural stereotypes exist and are fine, while degrading stereotypes are baseless and shouldn't exist because they invite discrimination.
I met a blind guy once and I asked him what race he thought I was. He told me that it didn't matter what race I was but rather who I was as a person. Legendary.
Omg he acted like a descent human being 😱 amazing
Sounds like a lot of conservatives lol

So interesting when you watched this video! (nobody cares tbh)
Who's here during the 2020 protests?
Hello.
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life.
Is it possible we can talk? I am Muslim too.
You mean the whole circus running down our streets yelling they hate cops? Yeah I’m here, I wish to leave
No
@@xela862 Yeah that’s just white people in BLM, actual BLM protestors don’t do that shit.
@@capybaras383 white ppl? No it’s both of them, black and white and every other race stop blaming white people for something that happened. And they got what they wanted, a different president so they stopped. All a trend to use black votes to get what they want
I was mad at the white woman, but then I calmed down. She got me good lol
they had us in the first half im not gonna lie
How did it change?
Alexis Smith I have no problems with white women, but I can kind of understand why some black women hate y’all. It’s stupid to generalize a whole race based on what some has done though. Black men also put white women on a pedestal so some black women get jealous of that too. Don’t pay them any kind. Just know that it comes from a place of hurt and fear. For the ones I’ve talked to anyways. Some people are just fucking hateful though. A lot of black girls bullied me in hs for “ acting white” so I can only imagine how those same girls would treat an actual white girl.
@Alexis Smith Sorry you had to go through that. I think privileged has a lot to do with it and how we view privilege in total. Just push past the negativity and respond like you've been doing

Adam Thomas How do blind people have opinions on different color skin tones? They are just repeating stuff they heard.
If a deaf person was asked if Tchaikovsky is better than Beethoven, would it actually be his opinion?
If a person with out a sense of smell was asked if poop smelled better than flowers, would it actually be their opinion?

that girl in blue was really laying down some hard truths some of y’all weren’t ready for, good for her
not *every* white person is racist. my family’s face is white and the majority of my family is not racist. but i do know two of my family members that are. i believe that the white people that aren’t racist are afraid to speak out and defend black people because they don’t want to end up like them, so they sit in silence (i’m not saying that’s a good thing. i haven’t been silent and i’m not necessarily afraid that anything will happen to me).
overall, not every white is racist.
not every black is a criminal.
not every arab is a terrorist.
not every asian carries the coronavirus.
this is everyone vs. racists.
not white vs. black.
@Moon flower this shit sounds like soi religion to me. where can I use my "white privilege" check in Russia? like 80% of my country was literally slaves during most of the Russian Empire rule (and 90 during ussr, lol)
@@JIopemUncym bro apples and oranges
@@erikchingon3566 no it isn't, learn history, there is like ~5% of population in Europe had slaves, other has nothing to do with it. your American bs shouldn't include all white people, that's racist and just stupid
The statement "All white people are racist" is a racist statement by itself and show poor understanding of the term. The statement "All people are racist" would make better sense and is far more accurate to some level, as all societies of a certain level of racism towards those who are different from them. Benefiting from privilege is not racist. It's privileged for sure, yes, but not racist.
Fun Fact you cannot tell someone’s ethnicity by their voice
•
People always assume i’m white over the phone until they meet me in person and then they say “you talk like a white girl”🤨 like what to this day I don’t understand how people identify your ethnicity based upon your voice🤣
You can't get a 100% guarantee but you can have a good shot at guessing depending on where your from, over in Uruguay where I live for example, that's basically impossible since regional or slang based accents and pronounciations basically include all races here (at least in my experience), over in the USA however, not really the case
Martin Andres yeah I live in America and people love assuming that i’m something that i’m not🤣 like yesterday i was told i dont talk ghetto for a mixed girl
@@ItsMe-yb8ug lol, I've seen that when I lived there, my school had a bunch of kids that if you looked at them you'd think "That voice/way of speaking doesn't match." But that's just stereotypes we've grown up with coming through I guess.
Unfortunately, the stereotype here is pretty straightforward: people assume that if you use language as described in grammar textbooks, you're white. And then you jump to assume that if someone uses slang or incorrect forms of the language, probably they didn't have access to a good education (and probably neither their family) so, they must not be white, because this happens to other ethnic groups more often than happens to white people. They are not saying that you are white: they are saying that you are educated, therefore the chances of you being black are smaller. When blind people recognize being racist, we understand that is not JUST about skin color, it's about expression of your background, and the access to the culture that the society views as positive based purely on prejudice established years before we were born.
But, fun fact, you can assume what ethnicity someone is by their tone, choice of words, etc.
"Are you racist?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I can't see."

Edit: I’m not stupid btw lmao, I said some because there are people born blind, and people who became blind due to a sickness or something
Yes my cousin got in accident when he was just a child although he didn’t become blind he did become deaf and mute so he can’t hear or talk at all that’s why I’m trying to learn sign language for him.

I don't think so, Tribalism creates multiple tribes for humans to go against.
@@darkwolf4434 tribalism is only observed in people with a low brain capacity, which is why younger kids form their own 'groups' but when you go into college or something everyone doesnt really care what you look like
@@Apple-mg6jr That's not true, tribalism only adapts more once you become older. You can see that especially in sport enthusiatists.

This reminds me of that comedic Dave Chapelle skit “Clayton Bigsby” about a blind man that spread white supremacist rhetoric and didn’t know he was black because no one ever told him.
Haaaa omgggg
I was totally going to comment this too! Loved that skit!
Second that.
This is why race is a social construct.
YES YES YES YES
Natasha Hart it is a social construct. I was a cultural anthropology major and race is strictly based off putting people in a social hierarchy
I suppose it depends on how you define race. But you can't deny the fact that there are differences between people with African, European or Asian roots.
@@jollemol That's ethnicity and culture. People are who they're taught to be. As Cecily Frazier said, it was created to maintain a social hierarchy. When you say "race doesn't exist, and it's a social construct," out of context, people will get confused with "racism doesn't exist," racism does exist, race, however, doesn't.
@@skeletoneg But in biology, race can be defined as "a distinct population that is isolated from other populations of a species, and consistently distinguishable from the others". (It's an informal term that refers to informal ranks in taxonomy so there is no clean-cut definition like species for example.) Are you denying that within the human species, no such populations exist?

oh jheez than*
RUclips put this in my recommended. Makes sense after all of the crazy going on the world right now
I’m a teacher of the blind and a about a year ago I had to try to explain to my 2nd grade student what race and racism was. He had been learning about MLK and the civil rights movement in class and was confused. Myself and my para who is black sat down with my Chinese student to explain what race is. It was a very real and complex conversation to have. At the end we basically had to explain that some people fear what is different from themselves and that turns to hate and violence. We haven’t gotten into systemic racism with him yet, but I believe with everything going on in the world, this conversation will be ongoing. He also is in a multi-racial family with several adopted siblings, so apart from being blind, his point of view is unique. A huge part of creating change starts with educating and opening the world view and mindset of the next generation.
How did he take it?
The racists really out themselves in these comments 😂😂
Never scroll down, man. Never scroll down
Lila kudo he means you bitch.
Daylonna Brantley the girl in the video called while people racist
Yup. They sound like those people that tell you: “don’t look at color/it’s all the same”
““WE’RE ALL HUMANS””
Like bro our world was built on racism.
Yes, treating people differently bc of color is really stupid, and we are the same. But you’re fucking lying if you say we experience life the same way. Guess what? America? Still racist.
And turning a blind a eye to it it’s so conniving to me.
But most of them lack empathy, so they go about making excuses for their bullshit. While minimizing others --very reasonable and justifiable- pain/anger.
And no, I’m not black, I’m just not so dense to pretend that racism doesn’t exist.
What comments are you looking at?
Every time I see the guy in the green shirt in a video, i get so excited. It is the things he says and his positive energy that makes these videos worth watching. Wish I knew his name!!!
Alexa Ray his name is Mac potts and I agree😊
He's an amazing pianist. I've seen him live and met him. Great guy!
every time i see the girl in the blue shirt she brings me negative vibes

@@tychomeertens4085 omg are you slow dude

Being blind you could only be attracted to someone according to their actions/morals right? Which I think is cool.
Kid Jess
Lol no, what gave you that idea. They could be attracted to someone's voice, to their body, to their face, and so on. I dated a guy who was blind and he was first interested in me because of my voice. Sorry, but that's nonsense, blind people are just like anyone else and are attracted to arbitrary things just like everyone else.
Only if you’re ugly AF
even if you aren't blind, I feel you should only judge a person by their personality. no matter how 'cute' or 'ugly', everyone should be judged by personality.
Haha, what gave you that idea. Blind people can't see your face or your body xD
Rianne Animations and Other Stuff and that's how I am I was taught there is no color and it doesn't matter how u look I go by a person personality and that's it
Im black but people always say "you talk white" because i pronounce my words properly and dont use slurs or curse or anything so if i were to speake they would think (some of them) I was a white person.
You are not black. You may have black skin but that doesn't define you therefore you can talk how you want.
Same omg
I mean why can't we be black and and talk how we want. Rather it be proper or with a slang
And thoes who say that u sound white i think they are Rassist!
The term "proper English" in America is hilarious to me. None of us are truly speaking proper English. And it is spoken all over the globe in many different ways depending on the country. There's also a lot of things we do here that aren't "proper" by England's standards but I won't go there.
Let's roll with America's definition of "proper English." I think it's prejudice and shows people's perception of black people to think if someone speaks "proper English" they most certainly can't be black. Especially when it's from the mouths of other black people.
I love how the lady explains color as a "different complexion" . yesssss lady, that's all it is.
that first girl is soo brainwashed i feel so bad for the poor girl :(
"I believe there is racism within the blind community because there is racism everywhere. And the blind community is no exception."
That is such a true statement. Nobody is the exception when it comes to racism. It doesn't matter if you're blind, deaf, or whatever.
Mr. C.C. Jesus Christ you're impaired
OR YOU COULD JUST NOT BE RACIST NOT THAT HARD
also the person that said all white people are racist
too bad the person who said it is a fucking moronic bitch.
yea, but if you are a Dumb person (speaking in the disease cause,) you would basically have to keep it to your self with no other choice, racist or not.
Lmao I like how the younger white people are like “yeah because everybody is” and the older guy is like “no”. An interesting but not particularly shocking difference
Only one girl said that everyone is racist lol the other one said that he'd like to think he isn't but there are of course stereotypes for everyone. But that doesn't make him racist. And that doesn't mean that he thinks he's racist. Everyone has a stereotype for a specific race whether it's good or bad. That is not what racism is. Racism would be using those stereotypes as an argument for why that race is inferior to yours or vice versa. Just saying, "I can tell by the way they talk what race they are" isn't racist. That's just based on experience. If you took someone who has never heard voices before (somehow) and played them voice recordings of 1000 black people, 1000 white people, 1000 asian people, 1000 hispanic people, etc... and then played them all mixed up, they would be able to distinguish them. Not because they're racist, but because humans are perceptive. I can't tell race through youtube or twitter comments unless someone says the N word, because what they say usually doesn't have anything to do with it. But vocal tone can distinguish a lot. Whether it's cultural or biological, we tend to have different sounding voices. I'm sure there are studies done with white people who grew up in black homes, black people who grew up in white homes, and everything in between on if their vocal tone and demeanor is different and why that is. Maybe it's cultural, i don't know. But racism is actively thinking that your race, or another race, is superior to another race. Guessing someone's race by their voice isn't racist, and saying that a specific race has a stereotype isn't racist. It's only racist if the stereotype is meant to make that race seem inferior. Saying black people are naturally taller is not racist. (That's not a real stereotype, that's just an example.) But It doesn't lower the race to say they're taller. So stereotypes aren't racist. Racist stereotypes are racist. I would say I am not racist. I do not believe I am superior or inferior because of my skin color.
You kind of went a weird way with what I said but I'll address my actual point first-"he'd like to think he isn't but..." means that he thinks he is. I don't really know how to argue this more than 'that's how the english language works' and 'common sense'.
And then you went on a rant that didn't really have to do with my comment but I'll reply anyway (because I like to argue i guess)-
Dude, everybody is a little bit racist. Everybody has an implicit bias, whether you like it or not. Being actively racist is different, but just because one isn't, that doesn't keep one from /being/ racist. As long as you don't act on it, and actively fight against your internalized racism, it's okay. But you should know that you are, because everybody is-like she said.
Because racism isn't just "actively thinking that your race, or another race, is superior to another race" -that would imply that "separate but equal" is okay. It's thinking that one is different and can be categorized differently based on specific things about them-like their voice. So with "1000 black people, 1000 white people, 1000 asian people, 1000 hispanic people, etc... and then played them all mixed up, they would be able to distinguish them."-No...they would not. Because that's not how voices work. You're talking about nature vs nurture at this point, and if someone were able to tell them apart, it would be because they were raised in a different place, it is not something inherent to their race.
You kind of made that point yourself when you said that they might have done studies or whatever, so you kind of refuted your own point and I'm not really sure so I'm still not quite positive about your opinion, but regardless, that just... isn't how race works-as the older black guy said, he didn't even know one of his friends was black and vice versa until they mentioned it.
So yeah, " Guessing someone's race by their voice" /is/ racist, and "saying that a specific race has a stereotype" is also racist.
This is what I mean though, you need to acknowledge it, and attempt to get over those stereotypes.
Ignoring isn't the same as fixing.
I never claimed to fix racism lol you can't we all know that. But not everyone is racist. Many people would argue that you CAN'T be racist if you're oppressed. Which, frankly, I think is ridiculous, but if you believe that, it destroys the idea that everyone is racist. It's not racist to notice something different about someone. It's racist to hate them because of that. You can internalize racism, but that doesn't make it ok. If I walk around hating a race because they aren't white, but I don't say it out loud, doesn't mean it's ok because I don't act on it. If I heard someone's voice and said, "That person sounds like they have blonde hair and is 230 pounds." That's not being prejudice against people with blonde hair that weigh about 230 pounds. Guessing someones appearance is not racist or even mean. Now saying, "They sound black because they sound unintelligent" is racist af. But just to say that they sound black because that's how you imagine them is not at all racist. I used to play xbox in middle school online all the time. I met people all the time, and because we never met in person, I often found myself imagining what everyone looked like. Sometimes I didn't guess properly, sometimes I was spot on, and sometimes I never found out. But it does not make me a racist to imagine their skin color. It does not make a sexist to imagine someone's gender. Racial stereotyping is different than just imagining someone's race by their voice. If you say they sound asian because they have an asian accent, you're not being racist. Especially because asian isn't a skin color. You can be born in asia and be white or black. It's not mean to say that someone sounds uneducated, but it is racist to assume that they are black because they sound uneducated. Are you following me? Observing is not racist. Making blanketed assumptions about race that have no support is racist. I would not be offended if a blind person guessed my race by my voice. I WOULD be offended if it changed how they treated me. I am not racist lol you cannot tell me that EVERYONE is racist, because that's not true. Racism is a choice. Kids, before they are old enough to understand race, have no care in the world whether someone is the same race as them or not. I know a white family that has an adopted child of another race with a clearly different skin tone. He is like 8 years old and he still doesn't know he's adopted. My point is, racism is a learned behavior. It's a nurture, not nature. And if that's the case, then it's possible for people to not be racist. My interpretation of racism is simple. Hating another person solely because of their race, or hating an entire race of people because of their race. I don't fall under either one of those categories, and I'm assuming you don't either. So I would not consider either one of us racists. It's possible to have racist tendencies without being aware of them, I agree. I also know that subconscious racial stereotyping does not make you an active racist. But what you're saying is that it's impossible to not have these racial stereotypes, and that's wrong. You don't know me. You don't know anyone in this video lol Don't pretend to know that ALL humans are racist. You have no idea.
Are you white?
It's clear that you already have an idea of me based on your biased question. But you know that if I tell you i'm white, you disregard everything i'm saying because i'm a white, privileged racist. If I tell you i'm black, i'm just ignorant, and I've been brainwashed by a racist society. If i'm any other minority, it doesn't matter. My race is irrelevant, and you know it only matters to you so that you can find an excuse to say I'm racist or ill-informed. You either agree with me or you don't, it's cool. Just don't make it about race. Make it about my beliefs if you're going to disagree. The division between all these races is ridiculous. People complain about racism but then base whether someone knows what they're talking about on whether they're white or not.
*“like seeing someone’s skin color i think is not the only way that we differentiate people’s culture or race”*
I’d say we’re the ones who are truly blind, not them.
This some weed thoughts right here lol
No they are blind, they can't see
The girl with blonde hair was very well-spoken. Racism isn't just 'your skin is a different colour' it's also about judging people based on the culture.
That is literally what prejudice is 🙄
It isn't really racism.. it's called prejudice. Racism is hate. Prejudice is not understanding.. sterotyping. Etc.
There's also xenophobia which can overlap with but differ from racism.
As an example, I remember hearing reactionary Americans yell hateful anti-Mexican comments at a rally. One guy in particular was leading the chant with others backing him; he was black. Many of these crowds may have little to no problem with race even though these crowds may (at least superficially) resemble racist scenes from decades past, because if you're seen as "all American", you're part of the club, you're not a foreigner. Many of these individuals grew up listening to black music, watching black athletes, and admiring black culture. Historically, Irish, Italians and Jews were once seen as foreign too, but then they became increasingly accepted as being part of the in crowd, which at that time meant being considered white. Racism and derision didn't go away but nowadays, xenophobia toward Mexicans and Muslims seem to garner a more enthusiastic rally cry in the American ethos that was once more concentrated toward black people, Jews, etc. I believe a lot of these tensions boil down to suspicions and fears of the unknown.
So000... you assume i'm going to eat food just because i'm a human?, RACIST!
No, it's more about benefiting from racism. Her point was if you benefit from racism you are racist.
Black guy: I might be blind, but atleast im not black.
*giggles with confidence*

Carlton Rudolph no u

He admitted he was black
I think it’s kinda selfish that some people say “all white people are racist” it’s such a bad stereotype. We need to stop that. I’m not dissing the woman who says that but I think we need to educate people on all stereotypes.
Yeah but pretty much everyone hates you so...
anonymous stalker what do u mean? 😂
You’re not hearing what she’s saying. She’s super insightful and articulate, yet many are misinterpreting her because of her honesty. She’s saying that ALL white people benefit from racism, which is true. Racism follows by benefiting from the institutional structures placed hundreds of years ago and continue to this day.
@@omniaa7585
I don’t benefit from denying service to someone black. How would anyone.
@@omniaa7585 Explain to me how living in "monorace" coutry where everyone looks the same and comes from the same culture benefits me.
I once stayed at a university during the same time as a summer program for blind students and one had a confederate flag beanie and shirt. So I guess that moment answered the question for me
Guy in the green shirt speaks like Jesse Eisenberg
imaginemore _ oh my god yes!! that's who he reminds me of!
imaginemore _ AHHH OMG TRUE
100%. I was thinking the exact same thing fam
i think , not fast enough though.
and looks like Barry Allen the Flash.
The guy in the green shirt didn’t do anything wrong. A lot of of the times people assume that way. We do it and we hate it I know, but you can’t control it. Especially if you’re blind.
because it’s been instilled in them and they’re not proud of it. It wasn’t under their control.
Can't control what? Your actions and beliefs? pish posh
That’s ridiculous. What a bs excuse to allow racism to continue. “It’s instilled and it’s not my fault” “I cant control it” wow. YES you absolutely could if you wanted to and it mattered to you how other people are treated and perceived in this world. Your belief and the excuses you make for others with your belief makes You part of the problem and not the solution.
Yeah and like lots of black ppl talk certain way. It's not bad, it's just common and there is nothing wrong with it!
No he meant like when he hears people talk it makes him think they are. every time you here someone you cant see, you get a picture of what they look like in your mind
I like how they are honest about their character and none of them are image based.
Please do more “Blind People Describe” videos. I like their perspective on things.
Y'all talking about the white girl but the guy In the light green is so honest and 100% he doesn't want to be like this but its the way society set him up and he deals with it and is honest about it ❤
this is dumb. "aw this grown ass man is so affected by society! oh and he owns up to it! it's harmless!" those stereotypes are extremely offensive and harmful. describing black people as "aggressive"??? ?? like?? ? he "doesn't want to be like this" well then fucking don't be like that. it's simple. he's trash. and you're naive and not a critical thinker.
realistic trash you said he is not a critical thinker, but you seem to forget these people are blind. They *rely* on their hearing to differentiate people. They are trained to *hear*. Which influence the way they think because hearing is what help them differentiate one person from another. Its not just social stereotype but also their natural instinct as a blind person, who can't see. They can't just ignore voices because that's the ONLY thing they can use to recognise.
i understand what you're saying, really i do. but at the same time, just because you are "trained" to associate certain things, doesn't mean it's okay. growing up, we learn about fucked up shit and negativity but that doesn't mean we have to subscribe to it. our natural instincts are to reproduce as much as we can but we don't do it, because we are advanced beings. that being said, he should be able to break those messed up connections and see the truth for what it is. but he chooses to not do that, so that to me is racist
i'm not saying ignore people (which reminds me of people that say they don't "see color"- i digress) but you can't just generalize. idc that he said black people are loud but when you say aggressive, its such a negative connotation and frankly untrue. it's exactly what the media portrays us to be and i'm sick of it. should we lower our voices just to make someone feel not threatened? every time i go to a bar, the loudest motherfuckers in there are white frat boys. if anything, they are more aggressive with their mob mentality. maybe i wasn't staying on track here but its just really frustrating for me since i personally am not aggressive, and neither are the other black people i know and neither are the other black people i communicate with daily that are strangers.
realistic trash - You can't just simply tell them to drop it up. *It's how blind people distinguish one person from another*. It's like telling us, people who can see, to close our eyes and distinguish people based on voice. Yes, you might be able to distinguish voices from people that you know, or acquaint often, but what if its a set of casual friends that you don't associate often? Will you then be able to distinguish them? For me to claim a blind person's capability of hearing is a natural instinct, is a stretch. It isn't. People start with a set of abilities, like seeing, hearing, smelling, sensing and taste, and they are, almost to equal levels, similar among all people. What comes into the equation is what if some people do not possess such ability since birth? Of course, their other abilities would be at the same level at start, but as time progresses, and once the lack of an ability, in this case vision, start to become an obstacle for their lives, they must find an alternative. And such alternative is raising the level of another ability to accommodate such disability. They must somehow train themselves to overcome it. Hence, their hearing is beyond believable. They start to be able to hear voices, differentiate sounds, and able to listen for tones. This is their replacement for the lost of vision, which could've help them distinguishing people of different colours through recognition of colours and associating colours into groups. It may be offensive of the statement to you, but it is also insensitive and unfair for you to criticise their use of hearing to differentiate you from others and have no problem with normal people categorising you based on the colour of your skin.
You have to understand the difference between stereotype and one person as an individual. Yes, you, as a black person, is not loud nor is you aggressive; however, does it hold true for *all* black people? Are all white people racist? You might not be what he defined the voices as, does not means his statement is not true. The group of people that he addressed *were* loud and aggressive, or they even possess an accent; therefore, he has all rights to associate them within black "voice" stereotypes - similar to how we associate skin colours to race. People should understand that stereotypes exist because they *are, or were* true. Just because they, people that do not assert these stereotypes, feel that these stereotypes are not appropriate or true, to themselves, does not means these stereotypes are not legitimate to the extent of others.
realistic trash you seem pretty aggressive... are you black by any chance?
Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know the actual definition of racism, so the blonde woman's perspective isn't being received well in these comments. Accountability also just tends to make others become defensive about their own participation - passive or otherwise.
Even on the subject of housing, she understands that complaining without a solution or action is complicity.. which we're all guilty of in some area of life.
Try taking in information without feeling personally attacked. You think the comment about assuming people are Black by hearing aggressive slang, vulgarity, and inarticulate speech didn't sting? Instead of being pissed about a stereotype, I heard the young man go on to acknowledge that way of thinking & conditioning is a problem. That's the open door to a productive exchange. ✌🏿
no one arguing you, you just dropped this little bomb here and it hasn't been hounded to death with discourse. Gods bless
tinawina thank you for saying this. There is need to keep talking about the institution of racism and how it has bleed into our culture and affected us unconsciously and consciously. Racism is always mean to harm others and if we do not talk about it, claim it, or acknowledge it, we won’t be able to deconstruct it ❤️✌🏽
But that’s not the definition of racism the definition of racism has always been believing one race is superior or others are inferior
@@TheDarkendstar Systematic racism then. The point is everyone knows exactly what she's referring to but it's easier to stay surface level and go on defense or argue semantics so that everything but the real issue gets discussed.
tinawina It’s not semantics racism has a charge held within it for a reason when you change its definition it’s doesn’t lose its connotation of course people are upset when you call them that you have changed the word without changing anything else about it.
Who else gets spencer reed vibes from that one guy, if you know you know
We all bleed the same color, that's what matters
The guy in green is the best!! I love him so much ❤
cutiepie 15 He’s way too concerned about race. What‘s so terrible about being able to recognize someone‘s race by their voice/accent? He‘s obviously not a racist and being able to perceive people‘s race doesn‘t make him one either. Stereotypes are often accurate.
You mean the white guy?
Mare Vare ?
the comments on this omfg
DonYelle and Diana honestly, smh.
I know right? It's almost as if all white don't agree with the minority opinion that white people are inherently racist for the actions of a tiny tiny percentage of their slave owning ancestors.
What? They aren't gonna see them... I'm not proud of that
Shut up bitch
Okay. No. Whites are not INHERENTLY racist. That's some BS & I'm not even white.
It's LEARNED. Babies are not racist. Toddlers are not racist. You are TAUGHT racism through your parents & depending on how much of an individual you are from them, you will learn to NOT follow by their racism.
an “accent” is not typically described as not eloquent and vulger, wow. at least he was honest about how shitty some of his ingrained judgements about race are.
underrated comment
Shut up crybaby
This should be a 1 hour documentary, fascinating to learn about social conditioning and perceptions
the guy in the green shirt doesn't seem like he's racist at all like when he said about the slang and it might be a black person I agreed one hundred percent i am black and it's true I mean you can make an inference of someone's race from their speech
Same! I grow up in an area mainly populated by white people, but because of who I live with and my family I don’t necessarily speak like everyone in my community. I have a blind friend and she could tell by my voice and my speech patterns that I wasn’t completely white.
Z .L I feel like what he said makes it seem like black people are aggressive and Loud but that doesn’t apply to all people. Some black people don’t use slang or talk aggressively
Hey Miaa no hes just giving an example. like if you were on a street or in a ghetto ass school.
Hey Miaa me lol
Morgan Brandy It's not misspoken English. It's a dialect, with its own internal grammar and vocabulary that differ from those of Standard English, just like Cockney or any other white dialect. If it were just broken English, there would be no wrong way to speak it. And yet there are ways to mess up the grammar that will let anyone know you don't really know the dialect.
Every language has dialects. Even Haitians respect their dialect enough to make it an official language used internationally. Why is that different?
The black guy is the only one that thinks with logic.
He doesn't seem blind, through the shades it looks like he's reading a cue card. ? Maybe? IDK
He's the only one that had his vision most of his life, the others were born with blindness. If that helps.
Obviously you'd think that.
That's perspective, he wasn't blind
vanzy01 But what about the guy in the green shirt? What was he wrong about? I agree with the rest of your opinion.

Racism is systematic and she's right about white people (mainly in western societies) being the only ones capable of being racist. But I agree that being white doesn't automatically make someone racist
Yeet you gotta be white lmaoo
As a person being a brunt of getting racism a few times, I think the most hurtful thing in that memory was not the purity of racism itself, but rather the racism bluntly bludgeoned without the perp knowing its power.
Knowing itself, or owning the possibility we can slip up is truly important in my opinion. In that sense, perceiving our common sin within is the real courage by which we can actually make a better world. That means including my own fault that I forgot in oblivion, when I was on the other side to hold the hilt. I think that's what it really gave us as a moral of story.

C. Morgan Free so true I'm confused with the term too.
C. Morgan Free ikr i asked my freind her natanality sorry for spelling and a kid came and yelled,"OOOOOOOH YOU BEING RACIST"😐😐😐😐😐
Racism is the belief that your race is superior to others. Technically, racial minorities _can_ say that their race is superior to the White race but it's false because it's simply not true. Because of the current society we live in today, being a minority is certainly not superior to being White.
If people with a blank slate could choose their race, hypothetically speaking, they would almost always choose to be White because overall its just easier than being a minority. It's not _easy_ being White, it's just _easier_ than being a racial minority. Chris Rock made a good point when he said that no White person would want to be him and he's filthy rich. In the game "South Park: The Fractured But Whole" your difficultly level in the game is based on the race you choose for your character. The game is harder, the darker your character is. It's even harder when you choose a trans character. This is not because South Park is being all SJW; it's because their satire is fucking true to life. Life is harder, the darker your skin is.
White people are hardly victims of racism. It can be attempted but it doesn't hold much water. Most of it is fake, vindictive outrage. Us Whites are not used to the same cultural criticism that minorities face so receiving just a small portion of what they go through can be jarring for some. The amount of racism I received for being White in my entire life is probably about as much as a really bad weekend for an average American Black man.
Paul, your projecting your own White guilt on to me. I don't need a White pity party to understand how systemic racism works. lol
The only way you can prevent your White guilt hang-ups, Paul, is if you create a "both sides" argument and pretend that race is not a relevant issue to discuss. Especially when we are talking about the haves and the have-nots. No, the world is really this shitty. You choose to live in a safe bubble (where you're free from cultural criticism) because you genuinely feel you are being White guilt-tripped into believing harsh facts about race. Sounds like a personal problem, not my problem.
Tbh, you can't change someone's mindset or maybe your own mindset, but you can always be nice to people.
Damn, watching this from their perspective with all the messed up stuff going on right now is so interesting.

What did he say to stand out for you as motivational? I think they ALL were very equally open, honest, and provided a valid insight :)
Are we going pretend like a lot of black Americans don’t talk in African-American vernacular? That’s what the white guy was referring to... even black people can differentiate other black people usually from the way they talk.
Obviously this doesn’t apply to EVERY black person, but a lot of them do have that accent, and a lot of black families swear a lot too. They’re raised in households that don’t care about censoring themselves, so it’s natural for them to swear.
the young man in green did an excellent job of intellectualizing his racism. the young lady in blue did an excellent job of being honest and humble. interesting watch
Crazy how this was 3 years ago. This was such an eyeopener for me. The recent events inspired me to make a video as wel on racism. Would love to hear someones opinion on it❤️
Yup, the white girl *T R I G G E R E D* me too.
But come on people, no need to hate that harshly. This is CUT, their whole thing is to show real people.
Ofcourse you gonna see something you don't like.
And she's obviously stating her opinion.. No need to call her slurs just because she thinks different then you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sure, but stating that all white people are racist and only white people benefit from the system are just plain wrong. Its not about opinion, its about facts and the fact is, that the left and SJW's brainwashed her in to thinking she is racist, when shes not.
Black people gain from imperialism too, that opinion is dumb
Joshualacruz I appreciate your reasonableness. This is the correct response!
I ilke how the alt rights say "it's just a word, get over it, you snowflake", when a white person is using racial slur against a minority, but when someone is stating facts you see who the real snowflakes are.
To be fair, the actual definition of racism is controversial. If you subscribe to the belief that to be considered racist you must believe a) that race is an important thing, which in and of itself is controversial, since biologically it is not a thing, it is a social construct and therefore actually a cultural identification rather than an inheritable trait and some people call that culture rather than race and that is its own mess b) that there are some races that are superior/inferior to others
It is very possible for a white person to *not* believe that someone's ethnicity/culture effects their basic rights and their worth as people. These people can validly consider themselves not racist, even if they have benefited from historical, or ongoing but not of their own action, racism that they find abhorrent and ludicrous. So, it is also valid for these people to find the sentence "all white people are inherently racist" both offensive and, indeed, racist.
Seriously the guy in the green shirt is super cute. I also loved the way he thought and how honest he was.
