Whenever people speak on white privilege here in California, I always educate them on West Virginia's history and culture..

Hello friend do you still live there?

Hey There How Are You Doing Today Good I Hope How Was Your Day Been So Far Good I Hope

I spent my childhood summers around Whitesville Seth, West Virginia Sylvester I remember Whitesville that was the big city. I remember the shoe man he was black my father used to shoot pool in the pool hall. I never really lived around there always visited my relatives talking early 60s I’m 66 now.

If there is this "white privilege"...i'd like to know where the hell mine is/has been. It's all media-programmed, agendified BS.

Great perspective about race and human relations. Could you give insight as to how one can contact the city to lease a downtown building so that we can set up a business?

Damn I hate I didn’t find this till now. I’m from Bluefield WV and there is a one time black only college there. I went to school with played ball with and despite stereotypes I am white and was all times the best player on the team. The only privilege I ever seen in the courts in schools in regards to scholarships etc was black privilege. Never have I ever one time seen a white male recieve any privilege if anything they have a hard time getting a fair shake when it’s a situation where a white male and their black peer are under the same circumstances

Were you there when ,Birchton was there we lived there.john Roberts was a miner there oover 30 years.

1.) I voted for Trump too. But RACISM DOES EXIST and 99.9% of it is BLACK ON WHITE RACISM. There IS no "white privilege". ONLY BLACK PRIVILEGE. And you look foolish making this video trying to "explain" to minorities that "white privilege " does not exist. THEY KNOW it doesn't exist. THEY KNOW they are full of shit when they cry "racism" and play the race card. THEY KNOW they are a thousand times more racist and predatory against whites, Jews and Asians than WE are against any of them. And in spite of all the RACISM black people have against ME for being white, my biggest problem is WHITE PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF who are constantly trying to "include" them and welcome them into every nook and cranny of the country until I have NOWHERE TO ESCAPE FROM DIVERSITY & MULTICULTURALISM because guys like you are constantly trying to prove how "not racist" white people are. All black people want from YOU is to STEAL YOUR WOMEN FROM YOU, take whatever freebies they can get from you and make you WHITE PEOPLE GO EXTINCT. And as racist as blacks are against whites, and as disproportionate as the black crime rates are, you NEVER SEE black people "apologizing" to anyone on behalf of their race. HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT, get off your KNEES and stop trying to prove to the world what a "nice white person" you are. I am NOTHING LIKE YOU. I dont owe ANY minorities or majorities ANY EXPLANATIONS or APOLOGIES. Yes I am white. DAMNED PROUD OF IT TOO and I dont owe black people, or the white people who like KISSING THEIR ASSES a God damned thing. 😂🎉

Was in Whitesville today. There was some coal coming out of a nearby mine. Pretty depressing,for the most part. I went to the Chevy dealership, and it’s hard to grasp who in the area could afford a new car.

Thank you for exposing the true West Virginia ! An that’s how all of west by god people are !! Thanks again … very smart and helpful

White privilege absolutely exists just maybe not so much in a town with only 50 ppl in it that has to drive 1 hr just to not get robbed at the store for a gallon of milk. Go to Kanawha County where it's a bit more evident as they watch the westside fall to pieces at the same time spending millions downtown. Come to Broward County Florida with over 2 million ppl where the law makers and wealthy white folks make sure a certain demographic stays on the side that was allocated to them. Where white folks and other 'ethnicities' buy houses in certain neighborhoods as soon as they hit the market just to keep people of color out. This aint a 'thought' or some excuse, these are facts.

I lived in Dorothy in the early 80's. Very good Godly people there.

Excellent video

So…NO! This is not typical WV life. Our state is amazing! Sorry for his upbringing.

100% correct

This is so sad, wish it would bounce back but I lived in a small coal mining town myself and if you drive through it now, if you blink your eyes you will never know you drive in the small town.

I went to Mt hope (dayette county) schools.. the first time I met a black person she turned out to be one of my best friends

I grew up there. Your take on white privilege is bee ess. It is not right. White privilege is real and you d-mn well know it.

I was skeptical at first where this Was going I am 67 grew up in nearby Raleigh wva (predominantly black) We were all the same racism was not an issue ,we were all dirt poor And didn't know it White privilege is a fabricated term

They get those kinds of prices from goods and services at the beach but they have sand and surf and women runnin around half naked in bikinis...

Real talk

Such a beautiful wedding im proud of you would love to see you and meet your wife....been way too long....family always .....

Any apartments available out there

As a blk woman, I wish diversity was more widely excepted. I've been looking for land to homestead and its become burdensome to have to really gauge where I could go. Most areas with the land Im looking for the demographics are usually omnly 2-3% black. I know that if im in the middle of 50 acres of woods....who cares. But I would like to know that I have neighbors that I can still get along with.. To trade/barter or even just be friends.

My mother was a Jarrell, born in Montcoal, raised on Clear Fork, I've traveled thru Whitesville many, many times.

This video is amazing! I was born in Charleston, WVA in 1953 and grew up for a few years in Sylvester and Eunice. My grandparents were Robert (Emmit ) and Hazel Harris. They lived in Whitesville, Sylvester, and Eunice. They had 14 children. My grandfather worked 63 years in the mines ( management) and retired in early 1960. The coal companies gave the family everything they needed...food, clothing, etc. They were good people! We are white, but there wasn't a racist among my family. Whites and blacks were all poor and when the minors came out of the mines each day, they were all the same color! I never had a white privilege card. My friends were all colors. I am 69 and never was a racist..EVER! I treat others the way they treat me. WHITE PRIVILEGE- OR- Systematic Racism is another way of spreading hate...but most white people do not fit into these types of people. My father said it best..." YOU CAN'T FIGHT RACISM WITH RACISM !! " In other words...You have to be a racist to call me a racist. If you call me a racist because of my white color, then you are the biggest racist of them all! Peace! David......

I'm from Boone County too, Ashford. You're right, Whitesville is a shell of what it once was.

It's all political. They still call mexican people minorities in California even though they are the Majority of the population.

That's terrible about the price gouging. Can't the county district attorney do something.

May God bless you all the days of your life. :-)

Jay you should run for governor. You speak the plain truth that’s not offensive.

It was a White woman who was at UV Berkeley,CA that came up with white privilege.

I told my White son, don’t you EVER run from the cops. I can help you fight in court but I can’t help you if you’re dead.

I am from a town called Whitesville Ky. It is definitely pure white. Did not know there was anything but white folks till I went up the road to Owensboro ky.

My dads name was Price, he was born in 1915...heworked in the coal mines...his sister Ruby, married Wriston Brown, so all her kids (my cousins) were Brown, but my dad had kin named Price.....im willing to bet, we are related in some way....Jerry Price from Lexinton SC....but now livin temporaly in Panama City Fl...

I lived in Packsville as a kid. We moved off when I was young. I remember Pearls hot dogs, juniors pizza, and Benjamin Franklins. I loved visiting my grandma in the summer. Loved the memories.

Now show one with a blue belt or upper belt 😂😂😂

I grew up visiting from Michigan to see my family in Whitesville. You walked right passed my great grandmother's old house downtown there. Such great memories there. Back in the day it was such a good place!!!

I really enjoyed. We have a lady who visits us in the morning chatroom, who lives there in Whitesville. Now I can see where she lives. Very nice video, sir.

Racism has always existed, and always will. All races have members who are guilty of it. I have been through many, many communities like that during my life. Even lived in a few. Ain't no privilege to it. I would rather live in one of those houses that look kinda rough and be next to neighbors who have some damn common sense than to live in a mansion next to a bunch of rage-addicted leftists.

I use to work at the rail yard. I had to drive from Logan to work. I love the drive. Hour an half drive one way

West Virginia is a great place to live. People talk about drugs jus because they looking for them. They are other states worst

5:30 No bro it's called the good ole boy hook up, it exist everywhere, and been around for years. Until you darken your skin you can't speak on what another race goes thru.

West Virginia is a beautiful place there isn't a town, a holler or city in West Virginia that I have not been to for work. I would travel from Richmond Virginia to West Virginia 3-4 times a week for 16 years and loved doing so. I met some of the nicest people ever and saw the most beautiful countryside. West Virginia is so beautiful that I am currently contemplating between West Virginia and Kentucky to purchase land and build a log cabin. I have been to whitesville numerous times for work and love that small "town". It would take me away from the hustle and bustle of the city where I was from (i e. Richmond va) and many times I would pull overnighters so I didn't have to drive back to the city and I could enjoy the scenery in the beauty that West Virginia offers a little longer. Thanks for sharing this, it brings me back to a much better time.

Look like ghost town...

I grew up in the area in the 90s and spent a lot of Friday and Saturday nights at Spartans or Juniors. There was another one there that I can't remember the name of now, but there was a hellacious fight there one night and I got cracked in the head with a pool ball. Lol, sure do miss those people and good times. Moved away after high school and rarely make it back there now. Hate seeing what's become of the town. Good video, thanks for sharing.

White privilege was a very real thing at one time. Think back to segregation days, if you were white in those days you automatically had privilege over people of color. Today, not so much. If anything it's the other way around. People of color have many more advantages over white people, based only on their race. Right or wrong, it's the reality we have today.

Great video! My Family is from Sylvester. I spent more than half my life there. I NEVER felt my family was poor! I miss the mountains & the way of life that's long past. I come from coalminers. In the 60's & early 70's Whitesville was jumpin'! Fireman's Fair was big, Everything in Whitesville was decorated @ Christmas. You're right about The Big Coal River; you're going up or down the river. First time I drove on the W.Va. turnpike, I got lost. Everyone I knew went to Church. It was something just about everyone did. Well, I could go on & on but I won't. So, thanks for showing a little bit of my heart's home. Did you know any Underwoods, Thomases, or Workmans? (I subcribed bc of THIS video.) Thanks, again❣️

Passionate, yes but you speak from ideology. There are many truths in your words, however, white privilege is not a thing. White privilege is a condition of society's mindset. You can speak of equal this and that, and everybody treated the same in your experience and neighborhood and so on, but out in the real world, people let their true color shine Bright.
