They aren't. The news reports things out of the ordinary. If it were ordinary it wouldn't make the news. The problem is people see things on the news and think it's the norm. The news doesn't exist to tell us "Yep, everything is the same as yesterday!". Here's the thing. Most of the media isn't The News. Capitol letters. It's opinion shows. There's a legal distinction. Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow are opinion. They can say whatever they want and hide behind OpEd laws while lying to you. It's news as entertainment. Meanwhile the news can't. The actual news has to tell the truth. It's why Fox News can't keep a host for it's actual 10 o'clock nightly news program for more than two years. That program is legally bound to tell the truth. Which often outright contradicts what the news entertainment part of the company is saying. MSNBC has a similar problem. Most of the hot takes from news papers are in the editorial section, opinion. It's a problem in this country that people don't seem like they were taught the difference between the two. Everyone thinks news is news. It's not. There are two distinct sets of law. One covering news and one covering editorial. But for some reason 99% of the country thinks editorial is news. Probably because the news is boring. Editorial is interesting because it can say some outrageous things. Shrug.
@@Kenny-bj2zq Those of us who have opened that door are told we are not correct, and called the R word. Even though we are factually correct, and they are the R word for lyin to Black folk for decades now.
We are doomed, critical thinking should not be taught in college it should be the base line. The fact that he has to walk them through it like they are children, shows they have never had a independent thought in they life.
Well, it's a male teacher that's why. Male teachers have been forced out of the public school system with lies to replace them with female "educators" who are doing a poor job.
@@Mizmoon2020Children need to start critical thinking as young as possible. You couldn't think until you went to college? I guess some people have to be led.
In some universities he could be fired or his job security threatened because his facts don't fit the narrative. Remember normal teaching has changed just as science has changed and doctors can't speak out if their science doesn't fit the narrative.
People have been exposing this for years. The media has lied to people for years. Democrats have lied. The anti-police narratives were created by the Democrats and media in 2019 to win the election and destroy Trump. They needed black votes. This is one of the biggest woke lies of our time.
I would have like to have seen the statistics on black on black killings in the same year so I looked it up and it was 2570 black killed by black against 233 black killed by cops and lets be honest they did not just put their hands up and surrender. Mistakes do happen but even then there is normally a reason, if I was black I would be far more afraid of being killed by a black person than a cop. There is a statistic that is missing in so much as people that don't commit crimes rarely get arrested almost never run and is statistically to low to even come up with a number on being killed. Not committing crime is a great way of keeping yourself safe , live by the gun then die by the gun.
@@brentsnyder5564 I'd like to know why. Are you saying that the statistic numbers are off? By rights we should have a presentation of some form of totality -like what states send in data, what holes in the narrative are left open... That's important info for stats. Thing is statistics is good for general knowledge. But they almost do more harm then good as we can tell nowadays, public discourse is way too stats based.
@@patricksullivan1827 No, I made a mistake. I watched the video up to the 2016 stats. Then, I assumed that because the professor did not include the percentage of the racial makeup of our county. That he was saying that every race was getting killed equally. But on the next slide, he showed the percentage of the racial makeup of our county. It was an honest mistake on my part. Sorry
I'm white. I agree. Put your hands at 10 and 2 to make the officer comfortable for his safety. Forewarn that you're going into the glovebox to look for the insurance papers. If you have a weapon, advise them of such in advance. NO, this is not a talk that only black people experience. Be respectful. Be cordial, but honest??? If honest means shutting your mouth, then yes. If honest means blabbering on and on, then NO. SHUT YOUR MOUTH. What part of the Miranda rights don't you understand. Do NOT assume that EVERY cop is honest and out for your good. Be respectful. Be cordial. But.... BE SMART. If you are driving a car, you have to provide your license, registration and proof of insurance. You do NOT have to tell the officer what you were doing, where you were going, or ANYTHING ELSE for that matter. Provide the information requested, SHUT YOUR MOUTH and wait for the citation. If the officer issues unlawful orders, comply, but state that you are doing so under duress, but do not resist. COMPLY. Then work it out in the courts, not in the street. Do NOT grant permission for a search of your vehicle. If you are a pedestrian, do NOT provide identification unless you are placed under arrest. Be respectful, but BE SMART legally.
What kind of would-be scholar would ever take propaganda as fact, in lieu of researching actual fact, right? They are not true intellectual minds if they'd take the lazy way out, and we all know it.
Look at the Boomers, they believe the media and the Establishment/Uniparty. Many of them went to Vietnam and many protested the war. They still believe the same media that sold the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, bombing of Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq #2, and Syria.
This is why we need to hold our media accountable. That poor girl has gone through life 'feeling' that the world is out to get her because of her race. Her answers are always 'I just feel". That is what propaganda does, it elicits emotional response to information.
Not really. She's supposed to be a student and be able to do critical thinking. It doesn't take long with the Internet available today to do your own research from your chair on your phone.
That is what I was thinking. How is it that this teacher or professor hasn't gotten fired yet? Clearly he isn't teaching what the administration would want him to be teaching. All it will take is one student to complain to a councillor or some Dean that he is a white supremacist and he'll be fired. Isn't that screwed up that we have to think that way?
The only schools that would allow this are in republican districts. Democrats would be enraged beyond belief if they had to hear one word out of this teachers mouth
Schools are dominated 1 democratic to every 11 republican, this type of teaching is lost in a system that is dominated by a system worrying about your gender and being a victim than actual critical thinking.
Thomas Sowell is a man searching for truth and is not afraid to reporting on what he finds about the truth. We need younger people to follow in his footsteps. This illustrates public perception versus what the media reports versus the truth. Do your own work to separate truth from public myths. Good public discussion.
That is also a bias we all need to check! There are more good people than bad always. And at the very least, more people who genuinely try to do what they think is best for others. In the same way that people only see black folks being hurt by police in their social feeds, some people only see examples of the most disgraceful, hateful liberals and read stories of the worst behaved and most extreme professors. I am currently in school again and all of my professors are unexpectedly kind and open minded. I expected the worst but had to check myself. It's a relief but also sad that no matter who we are, it's easy to become jaded or cynical of the world. We're all still human and will all be better off the sooner we stop assuming the worst of any group of people based on race, profession, political party, city, country, wealth status, marriage status, gender, or sexual orientation. Otherwise we start to see the boogeyman in EVERY single corner...
He would be screamed out of the classroom in a democrat city. The people who need to hear truth the most, are the most rabidly against it being spoken/written
@@cmonster67 He is an extremely liberal teacher and yet he's doing exactly what his job is supposed to be teaching kinds how to think. Thinking about not what the numbers are but why the numbers are.
Knowing the truth will change attitudes. Who's responsible for informing the society of the truth? Academia and journalism, and who's constantly found to be lying to us? Academics and journalism. We need more teachers like this.
Agreed. Look at the panic that academia and media has stirred up around covid and climate change as well. I wish more people could be critical thinkers, do just a little bit of research on their own (it really doesn't take much!), and see through the bullshit.
@@heythere9371 that's my point about academics in general. They just choose what to believe and damn reality anyway. Just read a story about a college canceling a discussion of paleontology because the presenters use male and female only. The school was concerned with potential trauma to their students. Just one example. God help you if you look at the reality of peer review and findings from research funded by an organization with an expected outcome (which is close to all of them).
@@sandrasmith2912Well Sandra, it's obvious that you missed the point. The point being that this lecture wouldn't even be allowed on todays college campuses. But please, educate everyone on today's numbers. Prove your point...show us how the lecturer is wrong.
@markroe8229 No. I got the point. My town is 80% black and 20% white. Our police numbers have shrunk and crime is up. Last summer there was a crazy party down my street. My house has 2 bullet holes and someone died. That statistic has been hidden from the public. I returned to college in 2010 at the age of 50. I know reality is not what people want to hear. But I do.
Every time i see videos of this professor I'm absolutely shocked that he hasn't been fired, canceled, arrested, or murdered by now. He's saying things that are too factual.
I had the same thought. I'll bet most of the admins and fellow professors at the school are quite angry that they can't find suitable grounds to fire him
I applaud this professor for being a true teacher by teaching ppl to think, not what to think. It looks as if the students are very uncomfortable talking about this subject, which is one reason it should be discussed. Again, props to this professor.
I feel like supporting your channel is supporting a persons mind being opened. And that is something anyone should be able to support. God bless you man. Thanks for the ride.
"AM I NEXT?" Well, that mostly depends on YOU. Don't break the law. Don't hang around people breaking the law. Treat all people (police are people, too) with the respect you want to receive from them. If you DO break the law and get caught, accept the consequences. Don't run and make things worse. It would be even more helpful if the professor showed what percentage of these deaths occurred while the deceased was breaking the law. Great video, Jojo.
That's right on point, take accountability and pay the consequences n' stop playing victim when you get caught, just comply, whats so hard, the liberal media have preached too much entitlement so ppl think they can't be arrested...
Agreed. Her response was "I feel..." Feelings aren't logical nor should they be the basis of law or decision outside of wanting to get married, have children and have a pet. People have to stop making decisions about law, ethics and morals based on feelings. The longer we base everything on feelings, the longer we endure the kind of madness perpetuated around the world every day.
They don’t send dead men to court, so no way to know if they are guilty, as in the us we presume innocence. I doubt they even formally charge dead men usually.
If you are facing a cop, and are not doing anything wrong; just comply with his instructions and you will live; and probably be on your way once the cop understands you aren't a trouble maker. If you get stupid....you are taking chances.
The problem is, and has always been, culture. There are many formulas for a good and decent life and anyone who follows them will reap the benefits. Modern leftism takes it roots from philosophies which reject individualism and personal responsibility and which culminate in total aesthetic and moral nihilism. This results in a cynical view of the world that disallows inspiration, laughs at heroes, and reduces man to a "meat robot" incapable of noble action or mastery of his momentary urges. The black "culture" which really sprung up in the 1970s as a result of 60s radicalism embodies this nihilism. Current black culture is made up of artifacts whose meanings are discernible only in terms of a fabricated history. Lawlessness is encouraged. Proper usage of the English language is discouraged. Role models are often athletes or criminals, or both. In this mental universe, which is essentially "anti-mind", the formulas for a good and decent life sound foolish, so they're explicitly rejected. Anyone who rejects the culture and makes good on his own is shunned from the group. Of course, the results are easily predictable -- and naturally this means an effort must be mounted to shut people up lest they destroy an academic career or two by mentioning the obvious. The leftist academics who perpetuate the rhetorical basis for such self-destruction are unaffected by any of it, yet they are to blame for almost all of it. When people, of any color, follow principles of destruction....they will get destruction. When people, of any color, follow principles that lead to life... they will get life.
Blacks make up 12% of US pop and 233 out of 963 are shot (his OWN numbers) by police and black folk in the US should give police the benefit of the doubt? REALLY ?! Some folk skipped math ... no doubt
I think the biggest thing we can do for unity is to stop using race even into the smallest things. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. WE ALL BLEED THE SAME as the song says.
@@watchdog4454 there are conditions like sickle cell anaemia. Colon cancer and cardiovascular diseases impact people within the Black community at much higher rates than most other racial backgrounds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Diabetes is 60% more common in black Americans than in white Americans. Despite lower tobacco exposure, black men are 50% more likely than white men to get lung cancer.
He did not "tell the truth", he exposed facts to allow them to understand truth. The conservative argument as compared to the liberal argument: • Conservative: I am going to provide you with information based on logic, truths, and critical thinking so you can make an educated decision. • Liberal: You must believe what I tell you or I will yell at you, call you names, and commit acts of violence to suppress your ideas.
Let's not forget the Red Cross Salvation Army. There are many more organizations that are legally conning people out of their money. This one just so happen to be associated with black people.
@GreenDemon618there were good people involved with the movement but, the movement itself was a major disaster which contributed in major criminal activities and the founders of the movement were con artists. So, no matter how much people try and say there were good people with good intention is now being overshadowed by the reality of what happen.
@GreenDemon618The movement was always based on lies. Just like the media, they repeat anecdotal stories that are actually quite rare situations to make the public believe they are happening a lot while purposely not mentioning stories where this happens to other races
I’m as stunned as anyone, Jojo. As a white boomer, I’m appalled at the way the media tries to paint a picture for me and use their platform to pull me into their sadistic agenda. I’m wise though. And I applaud you for your effort to expose them and their horrible attempts to spread their misinformation. One life is too many, but to tell us this is genocide is abhorrent. Keep up your good work my friend. My prayers are with you and the country I still love.
Calling yourself wise is the most boomer fail I can imagine Except for sim ping in le blacque guys comments, thays even worse 🤣 So virtuous I am impressed
If you were wise, you wouldn’t be stunned by the statistics. Lol. This information would already known to you because you would’ve been wise enough to do research.
Good job showing this to people. Many have become too afraid of the social repercussions of speaking honestly, so I commend you for reporting on this. People have been lied to, and it's tearing the world apart.
Tony Timpa, 2016. Appalling callousness and killing by the police of a white mentally ill man who called the police himself for help because he had not taken his medication for his schizophrenia and his mental state was deteriorating. They suffocated him to death and were laughing. The footage is one of the most heartbreaking and appalling things I have ever seen that I will never be able to unsee or unknow about the cruelty of people. The case never made the news and his mother had to fight the police for a long time to get the footage and truth about what happened to him. The media didnt want to know, until years later when it was linked to Floyds case as they both died after being restrained in a similar way. It has taken years, but his family finally won the right in 2021 to go to federal civil trial against the officers. The hearing was supposed to be this year and it has been delayed until this month, September 2023. It should not matter what race or ethinicity someone is in terms of policing, the law, or access to justice. Justice should be blind.
And in the meantime one of the main officers involved actually got a promotion and is now training new recruits. Like that isn't a kick in the face to his family.
@@MomusinterraAshli Babbitt is a bad one but Ryan Whitaker is the worst example I know. His neighbor, the dispatcher and the officers who shot him should all be in jail
Same thing happened in Houston after a botched police raid that ended with innocent people being killed. An old white couple died and no one cared. There was punishment and justice for the raid but no one in the media and public cared much. Didn't see any marches for their lives.
Can i just say one more thing, it's good to see a young Black American thinking critically and not afraid to say it! You have me a little hope that perhaps there is still a chance that the course can be corrected before our country is destroyed and taken from us. Our enemies are preparing to come for us, i just pray we will notice and not be so wrapped up in the media lies to notice. Be well young man. Subbed.
When the professor asks the one lady and she just repeated what the football player said just worded it different im glad he's showing them the statistics so people in media and in sports don't look up any facts just spit out the propaganda no facts so misleading intentional lies and so many people just believe everything they hear preconceived ideology that doesn't line up with facts 😮
No it's just that Republicans don't have feelings and Conservatives don't care at all but you have "feelings"for unborn fetish those are the facts. You care more about having a gun then the loss of a life. You don't care at all! What is so wrong with caring and being factual at the same time because my feelings are that you are heartless and fact don't factor in your equation.
Exactly! Unfortunately that's what the media goes after when "reporting", feelings. As a person of color, they never convinced me for example that Trump is racist. I did however hear things spoken out of Bidens mouth against people of color during his earlier yrs in office that made me seriously cringe.
Sometimes you can't even trust statistics tho. Sometimes statistics have been tampered with by certain malicious forces. It happened in Sweden with criminality and rape statistics. They literally hid and changed certain statistics so that there wouldn't be no proof of a certain demographic doing these things, immigrants from african or arabian countries. The political party at the time had such brainwashed sheeps all over our country that even the government statistics people had been given orders to falsify the statistics, and maybe even some of them did it out of their free will. Because at the time people had this insane fear that a certain right wing party was full of nazis and that if they gained popularity we would get nazi regime and shit... Because of you say that immigrants in this country are unruly and commit an insane amount of crime you are a nazi by default. Atleast that's how it used to be. Now the former regime who has had this country brainwashed for almost 100 years straight (except a few years) is dethroned and a big chunk of people are waking up from the brainwashing. But majority of lefty voters are still seemingly in a coma, some of them seem to have been sleeping for the past 15 years, like they have lived their lifes so free of dangers somehow they have not seen the shit that has been happening and has thus trusted the news blindly. Oh and BTW our main media TV station has also been caught on several occasions straight up lying about shit when it comes to criminal immigrants. My workmates son was beaten up by 5 immigrants just randomly when he was in town centre with his friend and I told my work mate this isn't the first time I've seen this happen. I've been harassed my immigrants and my mom got assaulted by immigrants, they always attack in groups... My workmate almost called me a racist for saying that stuff but I told him it's not racist if it's true... It's not racist to state what actually fucking happened.
Props Kid👊 You made America great today! This was straight fire and truly helpful in getting people out of the matrix hive mind. Maybe we can all get it together. ✌️
The media NEVER fooled me! I did not drink the kool aid. I love how this teacher is getting these kids to actually think! Hopefully this will change their lives.
I dunno...if you've been on the Internet in the last 30 years, you've probably been fooled at least once. With AI, it's going to get worse--you'll not know what's real and what's not.
Man, I love your insight and ability to see through the b.s. of CRT. Your mother and father raised you well. I have a feeling you do amazing things once you finish your degree. Keep up the awesome work. I gotta give you credit, I couldn’t do what you do so calmly.
My oldest daughter will turn 18 in September of next year, so she will be able to vote in November. I am stressing to her how important it is to go beyond the headlines and the numbers and to not just blindly accept what any “news” source tells her. I’m also going to recommend this channel to her because it’s so refreshing and encouraging to see young people waking up and learning how to think for themselves. ❤
A recommendation from someone who, for a time, was as gullible as the people in this video (and isn't that far off in age). Be educated on the topics you believe are the most important for her to understand and try to get her to discuss things like this. Then ask her why she thinks the way she does, whats her source etc... This is exactly what my Dad did to me when I was in college and was exposed to so many beliefs I just started to accept must be correct. Each time he shut me down remarkably fast. This got me to realize I can't just believe what I'm told and I need to do research to back up my beliefs. Now I can debate with him on an even playing field (heck, I even win on occasion). Just make sure you do it in a way that isn't humiliating else she will just stop talking about it I imagine.
@@scrawnyclownsnatch9656 Thank you for that advice. 😁 I have always told all my kids that I want them to never be afraid to talk to me about the “tough” issues and that I will not judge.
From the moment my children started to watch TV (no portable screens then), or read books/magazines or comics I encouraged discussion and would present alternative viewpoints. Just to avoid them believing everything without questioning. I did the same with my son with video games and how they are different to reality. I was shocked and strongly dismayed a few years ago when a friend's son (about 13 years old) asked "if I stab someone at school they would be okay when they find a heath pack?". That's the version of reality they had from playing video games with zero supervision or input from their parents. Obviously there are many issues with this but my main point is education starts at home. This isn't just an issue about schools and formal education. It's also about parenting. Admittedly, if the parents are poorly educated they might struggle a bit more, but surely not when it comes to issues of morals, politeness and respect. These are things which children should learn before any formal schooling. Yes, it should be reinforced in the classroom but without parents also being on board it's likely to fail.
This professor and Jordan Peterson are my go to people. This professor keeps stuff simpler because he doesn't use lots of large words. Jordan ties things into other things and uses more sophisticated language. Both of them are logical and make good argumentation against or for things
A free thinker? It's good to see someone who can think for themselves and listen to the facts and come to a conclusion that is sane and not based on feelings.🤔👍✌️🇺🇸
When I was your age (I’m 42), we were so excited to be moving out of an era where race mattered. So many of us believed that we were finally entering the era that Martin Luther King dreamed about in his famous speech. Refocusing on race has been such a slap in the face. There’s a time and place to be aware of race, but it’s become the dominant factor for too many people.
You know, I have a unique perspective on all of this. In 2006, I left the US, and was deployed by the US Air Force to South Korea for a year, then three, three-year consecutive assignments to bases in Europe. I came back to the US in early 2017. So basically by doing this and being gone for a decade, I was not "plugged in" to what was going on at home. When I left, I thought the same thing you just said... "So many of us believed that we were finally entering the era that Martin Luther King dreamed about in his famous speech." I agreed. When I came back, I immediately noticed that the news and TV were always talking abought the plight of black people in America, and then more attention was being placed on police interactions; and that is when Trump won the election and ALL the democrats aligned against him and started the name-calling. You know the rest.
I love how you described it being a slap in the face. For those of us born in the early sixties coming of age in the seventies . I feel like I have been transported back in time to all of my earliest memories. Luckily I had a patient mother who would sit down with her most inquisitive child and answer all my questions the best she could . It's not just racial issues either . It's politics , war , economy, the separation and lack of respect among the generations. We believed and I still do , it's the content of peoples character. Now the digital world is turning people into a bunch of narcissist.
Same here. I went to high school in MS, and my school was about 50/50 black and white. We all hung out together, had parties and sleepovers as kids...ECT. We obviously saw color, but it really didn't matter. I was horrified a few years ago to see some of my childhood friends subscribed to black supremacy ideology. I literally spent weeks at some of these people's homes during the summers, just hanging out and enjoying the hospitality of their parents. Same when they stayed at my house. I know what happened. The media happened.
In my experience in Police shooting against Blacks, it was their Black Privilege that got them shot. An example is the last shooting. The police stopped a pregnant Black female who witnesses described as a shop lifter. They asked her to step out of her car to clear the matter up. Instead, she choose to gun her car with an Officer standing in front and was shot! Imagine if she had complied, she's still be alive.
The Washington Post started tracking police shootings after 2013. They label about 30 per year "unarmed", but if you actually look at individual incidents most of them had an unconventional weapon or something they took off the officer trying to arrest them. If you sort by "non-fleeing" you get closer to the truth and there's only about 3 genuinely innocent black people shot per year. 1 or 2 of them were not intentionally shot, but were hit by stray bullets after a drug dealer or gang member shot at police unprovoked. Your experience is pretty accurate to the numbers.
Awesome college lesson! We need more of this. The number of officers being killed is quiet shocking too. What a job. People spit on you and you have to deal with the most dangerous situations. Kids these days FEEL too much and need to KNOW more. These people WANT to believe it so statistics doesn't matter to them. Very dangerous way of thinking
I have watched a number of these videos... and it shocks me that none of the students have the ability to state an opinion, justify it and stand behind it.
They are all afraid to answer "wrong" and have to look around the room to gauge what to answer. The white girl was undecided about every question and had a harder time voicing her opinion.
They are young people being put on the spot with facts. Its not surprising. Its unfortunate that these conversations without the professor would go so differently.
@@nousernamesarevalid I understand what you are saying.... but the other people in the room are of no consequence. They are not asking you the question, and their judgement of your response doesn't matter. I guess I just grew up differently. Out of respect for myself, as well as trying to earn the respect of the prof, I would have stated my position, rationally defended it to the best of my understanding and admit I was incorrect gracefully if proven wrong. I would have been embarrassed just waffling back and forth like they are. I believe the prof was attempting to teach his students multi levels of problem solving at the same time. He very well might have been more impressed by the effort than the actual right answer. Anyone can learn the right answer..... but not everyone can, or is willing to, put in the extra effort. Thanks for the comment!
i gotta say that me myself don't expose many opinions about race publicly. They will then look and treat you as if you were a racist. I think most people do the same. And I'm not racist (although that's what they say) I guess I'm both anti-woke and anti-racism
So-called "Americans" have been working on this for years. They are usually called race hustlers or race baiters. Think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They are the ones who started all this "police are targeting and killing black people" thing about 50 years ago.
But to be a victim is so comfortable. It's never your fault, no need to change your attitude or behaviour because it is always the guilt of the others.
Why not name the party that did this, and why they did it? It always was, and still is, the democrat party that intentionally caused this racial animosity in America, and they did it for power, greed, and their own racist beliefs. Glad you're catching up young man! 🍺
The part that stands out to me isn't the misinformation part, but how these students feel the need to follow the message they are fed. You can see the inner struggle they have from giving an answer that doesn't victimize black people. This is especially true when that black girl said that she would agree with that kid holding up the sign saying "am I next". Even though the numbers were right in front of her, literally, she still said the words "yes he will be next" so watch out. Explains why everyone you see online just repeats the same phrases or keywords when they try to answer things like this. They are all programmed to be victims and see the cops as the enemy. Which is nuts.
I think part of the issue with that one person struggling with what they were comprehending is that they were probably not taught to admit they could be wrong and that what they know is actually wrong. And instead of admitting being wrong because of possibly feeling shame or embarrassment they attempt to cling to the false information they are familiar with instead of the unfamiliar facts. So I think not only is it important to learn how to do research and learn how to see and find the facts and not just believe everything you hear or see from the media but to also learn to admit when you are wrong because it is ok to be wrong about something as we are not all perfect.
Exactly. And then the white girl went along with it because no one seems to think for themselves anymore and they just say what whoever spoke before them said. I see it in almost all these types of videos. Drives me nuts! Sure, media lies, but it's our responsibility to research things. If the professor found all this info, so can we. If MSM tells me drinking cat spray is going to give me eternal youth, am i just going to go stand behind some male cats and wait? (the answer is no)
Brings to mind a couple of quotes: "How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!" - Mark Twain "The truth only hurts when you want to believe a lie" - Jennifer McVey
i sure hope this brings awareness and gets people (especially students) to think and research what they are being told before forming an opinion, protesting etc. Alot of people being played and manipulated by groups with nefarious intentions and money grabbing... follow the money folks
One of the biggest issues is the black community has had this victim mentality engrained into their minds by media, internet influencer, political leaders and some religious leaders that many will still do mental gymnastics to still hold up that victim mentality because they then won't have to feel they're responsible for their own actions
i don't know about the last part, i think they will work to maintain the mentality because to go against it is to go against your culture, your friends, your family, everything. that's not easy. when everyone around you is lying or repeating lies, it can be hard to accept the truth.
Victim mentality - why is stating the truth of what happened being a victim. No one says that about Donald Trump when he whines. No one says that about the other politicians claiming they been wronged by the other party. No one says that when white people complain about something. Always, black people are the ones told they are wrong, and stop playing the victim. Why is something wrong when black people do it, but not wrong when white people do it? Stating truth or what they perceive as truth doesn't mean they don't want to take personal responsibility. There have been violent and deadly hate crimes by whites against blacks in the 20th and 21st century and those white people are in jail. So stop acting like it's all in black people's head.
I have my doubts about whether they have learned anything new that they will take with them in life. One hears how reluctant they are to admit the speech of the numbers..
@comfusedpassanger3399 keep in mind that they are being exposed to facts that they were unaware of. It's hard to accept that your beliefs are wrong when confronted with facts that contradict your beliefs. Hopefully the lesson will take hold after they have time to actually think about it.

Jojo, I find your videos so refreshing. They are well done. My favorite part of every one of your videos is your commentary. Keep saying, "I don't know.". Mad respect for you, young man.
This younger generation is too dependent on and trusting of technology. They don’t require any wisdom, they just need to know how to use a device to access information. The problem is they don’t question it. There’s a topic called “the dumbing down of America” and this is the result of that idea. No independent thought, no curiosity, just blind obedience. It’s a dangerous development in society
The "dumbing down of America" predates the widespread use of information technology, smart devices, or the World Wide Web. It was a major topic of discussion in the mid to late Eighties. Consider the 1987 books _The Closing of the American Mind_ and _Cultural Literacy_ that both decried the gradual decline of academia dating from the post-WW2 era.
First you say the problem is that people have access to information wothout having to memorize it. Then you realize that access to info is good so you switched to saying its bad because young people dont know how to interpret information. Incoherent argument
@Eve.n.t_horizon 1. The Republicans don't need the black vote to win national elections, the Dems wouldn't win another national election if they got less than 85% of the black vote. 2. Where blacks live in concentrated areas ie. Chicago, there hasn't been a republican in office since before WW2.
@@Apostate_ofmindNo because the demographic they control 95% of is a minority. Truthfully through time though they have controlled the majority of the time.
yep i was just posting about how the US black culture of the 60s and 70s was about rising up and getting their due, but that means people stop voting democrat, once they make real money they earned through hard work. so they ( who control entertainment media and news) started in the 1980s to replace hope, and struggle to greatness, with thug life and worshiping ignorance and violence, drug use and rejection of education. at the same time the welfare state taught black moms that if they kick dad out they get free money so all the ignorant violent black men out their killing each other were raised by all the "strong independent don-need-no-man kweens".. the democrats have utterly broken and betrayed black americans..
@@Apostate_ofmind no, for two reasons. Reason one is that the 95 percent demographic she’s referring to is only actually 12 percent of the population total, a good quote to sum it up is “you might not win with us but you’ll lose without us”. With 95 percent of the black vote along side the other votes they get it usually pushes them over the edge to win but not always. The second reason is distribution, a large amount of the black population lives in a handful of states. A good example would be if America was made up of 80% white people and 20% black people but all the white people lived in 3 states and the black people were distributed throughout the other 47 states then the 20 percent of the population would decide all elections because it’s about the amount of states you win rather than popular vote. We have the electoral college to ensure that large states can’t decide what’s best for the rest of the country.
I remember seeing a video of a white police officer in a struggle with a black suspect. The officer was losing. There were four black people standing around (including the person shooting the video) who were recording the video on their cell phones. Nobody was jumping in to help the police officer. Why? Because the police officer was racist, of course! Obviously, he was fighting with an innocent suspect . These people were going to catch the next racist action, put it on youtube, and be famous. Meanwhile, the police officer is fighting for his life. Will he orphan his kids? Will his wife see him again? The bystanders could've fixed that, but chose to stand by and record.
I don't think this is just a race thing. People have gotten warped by social media. There have been multiple examples where people seemed more interested in filming incidents happening than trying to step in and help someone. They are more interested in getting the next viral video than helping their fellow human being.
@@Mrs.Silversmithno. They are afraid to jump in. If phone didn’t exist most would have just walked past still not helping having the same result. Here TikTok clicks override the uncomfortable feeling. It may even be better because instead of ignoring, people huddle around. But maybe I’m wrong.
@@darklordsauron3415 Considering the amount of people who have filmed fights that have turned deadly or in Canada people have shown themselves willing to film someone being bludgeoned to death? People film people being starved, shot or even viciously attacked over opinions? Yea, I think you're wrong. They aren't afraid to jump in, they are sick and vile people who deserve nothing more then scorn and disgust. Social media is to blame, but these people deserve just as much criticism. The fact you're trying to justify it in some capacity, makes me believe you yourself are part of the issue. We should be calling out these degenerates, not excusing their behavior and acting like it's completely normal to walk past these types of things. Sure, I can understand not wanting to help cause you've been burned in the past for daring to help others, but lemme ask you something. If the roles were reversed? You wouldn't call for help? Bullshit.
And if he got killed nothing would have been said about the bystanders either. Media would have interviewed them and they would have said "yeah he be going after the brother.And he dint do nothin" But on the flip if the scenario was diffrent .the whites filming and whites would have been certainly been kkk or white Supremeist...But knowing the true answer some whites would have filmed but the rest most certainly would have stepped into try to stop it.
Appreciate you man, this is another great conversation from your channel! The victim race status philosophy is so nefarious, and it stems from Neo-Marxist critical theory nonsense. Democrats love to use this to keep voters divided. We’re all the same, and we need to stop the division. Merit is the only fair way to judge success. That’s a conservative philosophy btw.
Keep these videos coming, brother. So much of whats out there are blatant lies or misrepresentations of the facts and causing so much distrust and hatred between us, when the distrust and hatred should be directed at the media, government and shools. Thank you!
Your growth from a music channel to a critical thinking young man exploring higher education is astounding. I love this. Please keep learning and never stop asking questions!
That's because she has been lied to her whole life and now, as a young adult, she is finally being told the truth and she isn't ready for that truth stick jabbing her in the brain and it's causing her to have a mini stroke. Logic and facts are hard to accept when you've never had to hear them or use them yourself.
I almost feel badly for that Black girl. She can't even form a sentence because her brain is trying to process and reprogram 20 years of brainwashing. Everything she's been told, by everyone she's ever trusted, has been lies. That has got to be shocking to your system. Like being told you were adopted when you are an adult after 20 years of believing you were the child of the people you call mom and dad. Or like finding out that racism isn't real but 99% of racism is a construct created to divide the people of the country where you live and you've wholeheartedly believed that narrative and based your whole life on that horrible lie. Do you tell her now that there is no Santa Claus or would that push her over the edge of sanity?
6:20 It's not just the mindset, it's the media and politicians making it seem like we are all about to be killed by our "enemies". I'd also like to add that mindset doesn't just come from nowhere. It's being taught. Freeing yourself from a cycle is all people should strive for. Different battles for different people. For my mom her cycle to fight was one of abuse. Personal struggles are a lot deeper than what people are "fighting" today and impact your life the most.
Opinions based on emotions are not as plausible as options based on true numbers. Man, I have always loved spending time with engineers.

Thank you for sharing. God bless you!

I love what you are doing my friend, keep educating fellow black people in the truth, don’t fall for the fake media that only misleads you for ratings.
As a numbers geek I like the way you point out that your chances are closer to 0 than to 1. It really exemplifies the fact that that your chances of getting shot by the police are literally non-existent.
The teacher hasnt even stated crime statistics by race. When you see those then you understand further the problem. Figure out why people are committing crime and the work solutions from there. People have already done this but nobody is willing to listen to those resolutions because it means hard work for all involved, all of society. It also means we put the money into helping our citizens b4 we put it to helping other countries and non citizens.
I know, right? Growing up in a predominantly white community, I could have looked at the guys I went to school with, and probably picked about 1% of them that were likely to end up in prison or getting put down by the cops. And had I grown up in "the hood", I'm guessing that number might be substantially higher. I think MOST of the people that end up getting shot by the police come as no surprise to family, friends, neighbors, etc. And in black neighborhoods, a lot of people DEFEND the criminals among them. They refuse to turn them in, even as their own neighborhoods rot from within due to the drugs, crime and violence. It's a self-perpetuating system if nobody is willing to put their foot down and say "no more". You make the bed you lie in, so there's little use complaining about it later.
The best comment in this entire comments section is your third sentence: "Figure out why people are committing crime and then work solutions from there." And when we do that, I think we'll see that what Ben Shapiro once said is so very true: "it has nothing to do with race and EVERYTHING to do with CULTURE." Our problems in this country are more about CLASS than RACE. Poor people and mentally ill people are terribly marginalized, yet for some reason, the media would rather focus on the color of people's skin.
@@ProtectLifeAlways - I think you misunderstood Ben when he spoke about culture. He wasn't talking about class or wealth. There are extremely poor areas of the country with almost no crime to speak of... and there are very wealthy areas that are absolutely riddled with violence and crime. But there is a pervasive subculture that CELEBRATES criminal behavior. They applaud it in music, in film and TV, and they excuse it at every turn. They refuse to turn in criminals, though everyone in these areas know exactly who the criminals are. And they don't seem to care how violent or depraved their neighborhoods become... they try to blame that on other people and other factors. It's sad and it needs to stop. But there are many who refuse to even acknowledge that elephant in the room. They'd far rather play word games. They'd rather blame everything and everyone else, though we all know what the real issues are. It's just sad.
@@ProtectLifeAlways The problem is, if you check the racial crime statistics from every country that allows these stats to be made available, you'll find a similar racial breakdown. Where do blacks have a "good" culture overall? And no, I'm not saying ALL are this way or that
OMG! RIGHT! People always assume that the police are in the wrong when they shoot someone. No one ever thinks. "what did they DO to make the cops shoot them?" Were they committing a crime? Were they trying to attack the cop? I mean there are so many variables to a situation that people don't even stop to think about, they just jump to those conclusions.
@@brucesmith9092 the ones who are shooting up schools churches and grocery stores. The fake vigilantes especially. Not those who were in their own homes sleep, had a gun permit or simply walking down the street.
This "victim mindset" carries over to me when I am in the store and the black clerk ignores me because she thinks that "my people" ??? (her name) hate her - so she takes it out on me. Now carry that over to the police. Very sad. Great video here. thank you.
What? That means you’re the one that has the victim mindset because you don’t even know what the black clerk thinks and yet you assume she’s ignoring you because you’re white? Ignorant People like you
As a father with kids around your age, and label as a marginalize Minority by the MSM for their narrative (but never once felt marginalize), and a reasonable math geek (love it when you pull out the calculator and see your mind kicking into high gear), just want to say congrats and pride of you take the initiative to get all facts, see the raw data, and go through the analysis before drawing your own conclusion or belief !
The thing is, there is way more information not being shared by MSM, or even social media, just the tidbits they need to keep their viewers focused on them. And there are way too many people who are focusing on those who tell them what they want to hear, while ignoring those expressing what needs to be said.
one of the biggest reasons I believe people think it's so many and that it's gonna be majority black is the news always seems to broadcast those cases.
Remember seeing a video of a black man going into a police station and tried to shoot the officer behind but his weapon jammed. Man was shot dead by the officer while he was still trying to get the weapon to work.
I agree; even if you learned a lot of this at home or at school before, there is almost always something to learn from another's perspective. "try to think about it this way...." that kind of thing. Something you'd never thought of.
After being wrong the first couple of times, you would think these two college students would catch on that their opinions were skewed and answer differently by the time they got to the “armed v unarmed” question.
Not really surprising to me. It seems clear that one has fully embraced the racist narrative and the other is afraid to stand up to it (we all know that fear is not a phobia, it is real and justfied)
The thing I liked about this video is how the students are listening to their professor. What he was saying may have challenged their worldview but none of them were screaming or calling him a racist or saying his was promoting white supremacy or saying they felt "unsafe." We hear so much about how fragile college students are and there are hundreds of videos showing someone having a meltdown or trying to get a speaker cancelled and yet here we have a whole auditorium of people listening respectfully even though the subject may be sensitive to some.
Well kudos to Penn State University, for admitting students like this and allowing this type of in-class lecture and discussion to happen. Nothing political here at all, just straight analysis using research done by the Washington Post, not a newspaper known for having a conservative editorial page for example.
I've been watching this professor for about a year, in the classroom and out. He challenges my opinions and makes me think. I find myself asking "What if I'm wrong?"

You don’t see white people protesting the deaths of other whites by cops because we know they were doing something illegal and their actions got them killed. They brought it on themselves. I don’t put criminals on a pedestal. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I think the worst thing to EVER happen to TRUTH has been 24 hour a day NEWS. News suddenly became dependent upon ratings. So stories had to stir up emotions because then more people will watch. And you do that by exaggerating the truth. Or just outright lying. You make the story bigger than it is. MEDIA owes all of us an apology. They have caused a lot of harm - and are still doing so - in their quest to be number one.
Yes, the news...a TV programme...helping to "programme" us. They don't hide it, they just rely on our compliance, laziness not to question anything, cherry picking what suits our reality and ignorance.
JoJo, you one of a very, very small (under 5) of young ppl I can stand listening to. Way too many fruit loops and I have ZERO tolerance for bullshit. You're actually curious about opposites, not just tunnel visioning. You're eager for a broader view of issues. You're willing to admit lack of knowledge & if you're proven wrong in a belief.

It's called propaganda.
98% of the MSM is controlled by the leftist democrat's.
They aren't. The news reports things out of the ordinary. If it were ordinary it wouldn't make the news. The problem is people see things on the news and think it's the norm. The news doesn't exist to tell us "Yep, everything is the same as yesterday!". Here's the thing. Most of the media isn't The News. Capitol letters. It's opinion shows. There's a legal distinction. Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow are opinion. They can say whatever they want and hide behind OpEd laws while lying to you. It's news as entertainment. Meanwhile the news can't. The actual news has to tell the truth. It's why Fox News can't keep a host for it's actual 10 o'clock nightly news program for more than two years. That program is legally bound to tell the truth. Which often outright contradicts what the news entertainment part of the company is saying. MSNBC has a similar problem. Most of the hot takes from news papers are in the editorial section, opinion. It's a problem in this country that people don't seem like they were taught the difference between the two. Everyone thinks news is news. It's not. There are two distinct sets of law. One covering news and one covering editorial. But for some reason 99% of the country thinks editorial is news. Probably because the news is boring. Editorial is interesting because it can say some outrageous things. Shrug.

Perhaps you already do. Perhaps the media are lying to you about that as well.
People have been exposing this for years. The media has lied to people for years. Democrats have lied. The anti-police narratives were created by the Democrats and media in 2019 to win the election and destroy Trump. They needed black votes. This is one of the biggest woke lies of our time.
How refreshing to see common sense and statistics instead of perceived injustice and hearsay.
I would have like to have seen the statistics on black on black killings in the same year so I looked it up and it was 2570 black killed by black against 233 black killed by cops and lets be honest they did not just put their hands up and surrender. Mistakes do happen but even then there is normally a reason, if I was black I would be far more afraid of being killed by a black person than a cop.
There is a statistic that is missing in so much as people that don't commit crimes rarely get arrested almost never run and is statistically to low to even come up with a number on being killed.
Not committing crime is a great way of keeping yourself safe , live by the gun then die by the gun.
Those stats are cunning way to flip the script
Wise man once said... "No Amount of PROOF Can EVER Persuade An IDIOT. "
Never argue with an idiot. You'll never convince the idiot that you're correct, and bystanders won't be able to tell who's who.

If you have a weapon, advise them of such in advance. NO, this is not a talk that only black people experience. Be respectful. Be cordial, but honest??? If honest means shutting your mouth, then yes. If honest means blabbering on and on, then NO. SHUT YOUR MOUTH. What part of the Miranda rights don't you understand. Do NOT assume that EVERY cop is honest and out for your good. Be respectful. Be cordial. But.... BE SMART. If you are driving a car, you have to provide your license, registration and proof of insurance. You do NOT have to tell the officer what you were doing, where you were going, or ANYTHING ELSE for that matter. Provide the information requested, SHUT YOUR MOUTH and wait for the citation. If the officer issues unlawful orders, comply, but state that you are doing so under duress, but do not resist. COMPLY. Then work it out in the courts, not in the street. Do NOT grant permission for a search of your vehicle. If you are a pedestrian, do NOT provide identification unless you are placed under arrest. Be respectful, but BE SMART legally.

You don't even know all the young people in there? I'm 18 and I've been told and known this stuff was false without any research ._.
Look at the Boomers, they believe the media and the Establishment/Uniparty. Many of them went to Vietnam and many protested the war. They still believe the same media that sold the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, bombing of Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq #2, and Syria.

This is why we need to hold our media accountable. That poor girl has gone through life 'feeling' that the world is out to get her because of her race. Her answers are always 'I just feel". That is what propaganda does, it elicits emotional response to information.

Spot on and very well said.
The media, the Democrats, and the community have reinforced that “feeling“. This is why BP live in an alternate reality.
She’s not a poor girl. She like anyone else could research reality. Instead she allows talking heads to form her opinions for her.
Not really. She's supposed to be a student and be able to do critical thinking. It doesn't take long with the Internet available today to do your own research from your chair on your phone.
the most surprising thing about this video, to me, is the fact that this professor was allowed to have this discussion in a western school.
That is what I was thinking.
How is it that this teacher or professor hasn't gotten fired yet?
Clearly he isn't teaching what the administration would want him to be teaching.
All it will take is one student to complain to a councillor or some Dean that he is a white supremacist and he'll be fired.

This type of critical thinking class should be taught in every high school and college in America and it should be mandatory for every student.
Schools are dominated 1 democratic to every 11 republican, this type of teaching is lost in a system that is dominated by a system worrying about your gender and being a victim than actual critical thinking.
It should already be happening in Middle School. By the 5th or 6th grades most students have enough mental maturity to learn to think logically.
You shouldn't have to teach critical thinking 😂😂😂😂😂😂.These people are like zombies
Problem is the ones that need the information the most ... Aren't in school or classrooms
Teaching critical thinking goes against the communist agenda. Yes, the US public educational system has been taken over by communists.
Thomas Sowell is a man searching for truth and is not afraid to reporting on what he finds about the truth. We need younger people to follow in his footsteps. This illustrates public perception versus what the media reports versus the truth. Do your own work to separate truth from public myths. Good public discussion.
Yes , and a great example of how a person can change their ideology. He himself thought marxism was the ticket initially.

It's a very low number, but there are a few.
That is also a bias we all need to check! There are more good people than bad always. And at the very least, more people who genuinely try to do what they think is best for others. In the same way that people only see black folks being hurt by police in their social feeds, some people only see examples of the most disgraceful, hateful liberals and read stories of the worst behaved and most extreme professors. I am currently in school again and all of my professors are unexpectedly kind and open minded. I expected the worst but had to check myself. It's a relief but also sad that no matter who we are, it's easy to become jaded or cynical of the world. We're all still human and will all be better off the sooner we stop assuming the worst of any group of people based on race, profession, political party, city, country, wealth status, marriage status, gender, or sexual orientation.

Prove your point...show us how the lecturer is wrong.
@markroe8229 No. I got the point. My town is 80% black and 20% white. Our police numbers have shrunk and crime is up.
Last summer there was a crazy party down my street. My house has 2 bullet holes and someone died. That statistic has been hidden from the public.
I returned to college in 2010 at the age of 50. I know reality is not what people want to hear. But I do.
I love how his class is always full, gives hope
Every time i see videos of this professor I'm absolutely shocked that he hasn't been fired, canceled, arrested, or murdered by now. He's saying things that are too factual.
Me too. I wonder how old the video is if they are using 2016 data.
I had the same thought. I'll bet most of the admins and fellow professors at the school are quite angry that they can't find suitable grounds to fire him
How do I find the actual video?

Confirmation bias
I applaud this professor for being a true teacher by teaching ppl to think, not what to think. It looks as if the students are very uncomfortable talking about this subject, which is one reason it should be discussed. Again, props to this professor.
I feel like supporting your channel is supporting a persons mind being opened. And that is something anyone should be able to support. God bless you man. Thanks for the ride.
"AM I NEXT?" Well, that mostly depends on YOU. Don't break the law. Don't hang around people breaking the law. Treat all people (police are people, too) with the respect you want to receive from them. If you DO break the law and get caught, accept the consequences. Don't run and make things worse. It would be even more helpful if the professor showed what percentage of these deaths occurred while the deceased was breaking the law. Great video, Jojo.
That's right on point, take accountability and pay the consequences n' stop playing victim when you get caught, just comply, whats so hard, the liberal media have preached too much entitlement so ppl think they can't be arrested...
it would also helpful, though perhaps out of the purview of this class, if we knew what the Police fatalities were as well.
Agreed. Her response was "I feel..." Feelings aren't logical nor should they be the basis of law or decision outside of wanting to get married, have children and have a pet. People have to stop making decisions about law, ethics and morals based on feelings. The longer we base everything on feelings, the longer we endure the kind of madness perpetuated around the world every day.
They don’t send dead men to court, so no way to know if they are guilty, as in the us we presume innocence. I doubt they even formally charge dead men usually.
About 10 years ago, Chris Rock made an excellent public service video "How not to get your @ss kicked by the police."
If you are facing a cop, and are not doing anything wrong; just comply with his instructions and you will live; and probably be on your way once the cop understands you aren't a trouble maker.
If you get stupid....you are taking chances.
I see this professor all the time and he is amazing for not giving into the leftist mentality of keeping everyone thinking they are oppressed
The problem is, and has always been, culture.
There are many formulas for a good and decent life and anyone who follows them will reap the benefits.
Modern leftism takes it roots from philosophies which reject individualism and personal responsibility and which culminate in total aesthetic and moral nihilism. This results in a cynical view of the world that disallows inspiration, laughs at heroes, and reduces man to a "meat robot" incapable of noble action or mastery of his momentary urges.
The black "culture" which really sprung up in the 1970s as a result of 60s radicalism embodies this nihilism. Current black culture is made up of artifacts whose meanings are discernible only in terms of a fabricated history. Lawlessness is encouraged. Proper usage of the English language is discouraged. Role models are often athletes or criminals, or both. In this mental universe, which is essentially "anti-mind", the formulas for a good and decent life sound foolish, so they're explicitly rejected. Anyone who rejects the culture and makes good on his own is shunned from the group.
Of course, the results are easily predictable -- and naturally this means an effort must be mounted to shut people up lest they destroy an academic career or two by mentioning the obvious. The leftist academics who perpetuate the rhetorical basis for such self-destruction are unaffected by any of it, yet they are to blame for almost all of it.
When people, of any color, follow principles of destruction....they will get destruction.
When people, of any color, follow principles that lead to life... they will get life.
Blacks make up 12% of US pop and 233 out of 963 are shot (his OWN numbers) by police and black folk in the US should give police the benefit of the doubt? REALLY ?!

@@Dgafsrangerwhen does race matter medically?
@@watchdog4454 there are conditions like sickle cell anaemia. Colon cancer and cardiovascular diseases impact people within the Black community at much higher rates than most other racial backgrounds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That’s amazing that a College and University would actually tell the truth to these kids that’s amazing in itself this professor is very good
This was in 2016,he quotes that year several times in his stats,you can also tell just by their dress and talk.
He did not "tell the truth", he exposed facts to allow them to understand truth.
The conservative argument as compared to the liberal argument:
• Conservative: I am going to provide you with information based on logic, truths, and critical thinking so you can make an educated decision.
• Liberal: You must believe what I tell you or I will yell at you, call you names, and commit acts of violence to suppress your ideas.
Shows the reality and how much of a con things like BLM are, also a great example of a very very good teacher.
Let's not forget the Red Cross Salvation Army. There are many more organizations that are legally conning people out of their money. This one just so happen to be associated with black people.
@GreenDemon618you watched this entire video and didn’t hear anything being said… this is in fact the real problem
@GreenDemon618there were good people involved with the movement but, the movement itself was a major disaster which contributed in major criminal activities and the founders of the movement were con artists.
So, no matter how much people try and say there were good people with good intention is now being overshadowed by the reality of what happen.
@GreenDemon618The movement was always based on lies. Just like the media, they repeat anecdotal stories that are actually quite rare situations to make the public believe they are happening a lot while purposely not mentioning stories where this happens to other races
@GreenDemon618what did it achieve? Cause Black cops and kids were killed by blm.
Love this!! All college students should see this!!
I’m as stunned as anyone, Jojo. As a white boomer, I’m appalled at the way the media tries to paint a picture for me and use their platform to pull me into their sadistic agenda. I’m wise though. And I applaud you for your effort to expose them and their horrible attempts to spread their misinformation. One life is too many, but to tell us this is genocide is abhorrent. Keep up your good work my friend. My prayers are with you and the country I still love.
Calling yourself wise is the most boomer fail I can imagine
Except for sim ping in le blacque guys comments, thays even worse
🤣
So virtuous
I am impressed
uh if you were born in 73 youre gen X.
boomer stops at 65..
If you were wise, you wouldn’t be stunned by the statistics. Lol. This information would already known to you because you would’ve been wise enough to do research.
Now, the next time you hear a Trans person complain about their community being the victims of a 'genocide' you will now know how to react!
This is what happens when another country wants to destabilize us first they gain access to the media
It’s nice to see a young person like yourself using common sense and analytical thinking skills.
I am always blown away by your thoughtful responses. You think for yourself and understand a lot more people your age.
I find it refreshing to see young people standing up like yourself for the truth and facts .Keep blessed JOJO.
Good job showing this to people. Many have become too afraid of the social repercussions of speaking honestly, so I commend you for reporting on this. People have been lied to, and it's tearing the world apart.
Tony Timpa, 2016. Appalling callousness and killing by the police of a white mentally ill man who called the police himself for help because he had not taken his medication for his schizophrenia and his mental state was deteriorating. They suffocated him to death and were laughing. The footage is one of the most heartbreaking and appalling things I have ever seen that I will never be able to unsee or unknow about the cruelty of people. The case never made the news and his mother had to fight the police for a long time to get the footage and truth about what happened to him. The media didnt want to know, until years later when it was linked to Floyds case as they both died after being restrained in a similar way. It has taken years, but his family finally won the right in 2021 to go to federal civil trial against the officers. The hearing was supposed to be this year and it has been delayed until this month, September 2023. It should not matter what race or ethinicity someone is in terms of policing, the law, or access to justice. Justice should be blind.
@shelleyphilcox4743 Appalled this tragic case did not get much coverage.
And in the meantime one of the main officers involved actually got a promotion and is now training new recruits. Like that isn't a kick in the face to his family.

@@MomusinterraAshli Babbitt is a bad one but Ryan Whitaker is the worst example I know. His neighbor, the dispatcher and the officers who shot him should all be in jail
Same thing happened in Houston after a botched police raid that ended with innocent people being killed. An old white couple died and no one cared. There was punishment and justice for the raid but no one in the media and public cared much. Didn't see any marches for their lives.
Can i just say one more thing, it's good to see a young Black American thinking critically and not afraid to say it! You have me a little hope that perhaps there is still a chance that the course can be corrected before our country is destroyed and taken from us. Our enemies are preparing to come for us, i just pray we will notice and not be so wrapped up in the media lies to notice. Be well young man. Subbed.
When the professor asks the one lady and she just repeated what the football player said just worded it different im glad he's showing them the statistics so people in media and in sports don't look up any facts just spit out the propaganda no facts so misleading intentional lies and so many people just believe everything they hear preconceived ideology that doesn't line up with facts 😮
The epitome of victimhood
Feelings over fact society
Yet whites say blacks are committing more crime at 37% of which 52% are exonerated 😂😂😂😂 whites are exposing themselves here
She’s going on her ‘Feelings’, not statistics. ‘Facts don’t care about your feelings!’
No it's just that Republicans don't have feelings and Conservatives don't care at all but you have "feelings"for unborn fetish those are the facts. You care more about having a gun then the loss of a life. You don't care at all! What is so wrong with caring and being factual at the same time because my feelings are that you are heartless and fact don't factor in your equation.
Exactly! Unfortunately that's what the media goes after when "reporting", feelings. As a person of color, they never convinced me for example that Trump is racist. I did however hear things spoken out of Bidens mouth against people of color during his earlier yrs in office that made me seriously cringe.
Feelings are based on perceived facts. She has been misled the same way half the US population has been
Sometimes you can't even trust statistics tho. Sometimes statistics have been tampered with by certain malicious forces. It happened in Sweden with criminality and rape statistics. They literally hid and changed certain statistics so that there wouldn't be no proof of a certain demographic doing these things, immigrants from african or arabian countries. The political party at the time had such brainwashed sheeps all over our country that even the government statistics people had been given orders to falsify the statistics, and maybe even some of them did it out of their free will. Because at the time people had this insane fear that a certain right wing party was full of nazis and that if they gained popularity we would get nazi regime and shit... Because of you say that immigrants in this country are unruly and commit an insane amount of crime you are a nazi by default. Atleast that's how it used to be. Now the former regime who has had this country brainwashed for almost 100 years straight (except a few years) is dethroned and a big chunk of people are waking up from the brainwashing. But majority of lefty voters are still seemingly in a coma, some of them seem to have been sleeping for the past 15 years, like they have lived their lifes so free of dangers somehow they have not seen the shit that has been happening and has thus trusted the news blindly. Oh and BTW our main media TV station has also been caught on several occasions straight up lying about shit when it comes to criminal immigrants. My workmates son was beaten up by 5 immigrants just randomly when he was in town centre with his friend and I told my work mate this isn't the first time I've seen this happen. I've been harassed my immigrants and my mom got assaulted by immigrants, they always attack in groups... My workmate almost called me a racist for saying that stuff but I told him it's not racist if it's true... It's not racist to state what actually fucking happened.
Props Kid👊 You made America great today! This was straight fire and truly helpful in getting people out of the matrix hive mind. Maybe we can all get it together. ✌️
The media NEVER fooled me! I did not drink the kool aid. I love how this teacher is getting these kids to actually think! Hopefully this will change their lives.
I dunno...if you've been on the Internet in the last 30 years, you've probably been fooled at least once. With AI, it's going to get worse--you'll not know what's real and what's not.
Man, I love your insight and ability to see through the b.s. of CRT. Your mother and father raised you well. I have a feeling you do amazing things once you finish your degree. Keep up the awesome work. I gotta give you credit, I couldn’t do what you do so calmly.
My oldest daughter will turn 18 in September of next year, so she will be able to vote in November. I am stressing to her how important it is to go beyond the headlines and the numbers and to not just blindly accept what any “news” source tells her. I’m also going to recommend this channel to her because it’s so refreshing and encouraging to see young people waking up and learning how to think for themselves. ❤
A recommendation from someone who, for a time, was as gullible as the people in this video (and isn't that far off in age). Be educated on the topics you believe are the most important for her to understand and try to get her to discuss things like this. Then ask her why she thinks the way she does, whats her source etc...
This is exactly what my Dad did to me when I was in college and was exposed to so many beliefs I just started to accept must be correct. Each time he shut me down remarkably fast. This got me to realize I can't just believe what I'm told and I need to do research to back up my beliefs. Now I can debate with him on an even playing field (heck, I even win on occasion).
Just make sure you do it in a way that isn't humiliating else she will just stop talking about it I imagine.
@@scrawnyclownsnatch9656 Thank you for that advice. 😁 I have always told all my kids that I want them to never be afraid to talk to me about the “tough” issues and that I will not judge.
From the moment my children started to watch TV (no portable screens then), or read books/magazines or comics I encouraged discussion and would present alternative viewpoints. Just to avoid them believing everything without questioning. I did the same with my son with video games and how they are different to reality. I was shocked and strongly dismayed a few years ago when a friend's son (about 13 years old) asked "if I stab someone at school they would be okay when they find a heath pack?". That's the version of reality they had from playing video games with zero supervision or input from their parents. Obviously there are many issues with this but my main point is education starts at home. This isn't just an issue about schools and formal education. It's also about parenting.
Admittedly, if the parents are poorly educated they might struggle a bit more, but surely not when it comes to issues of morals, politeness and respect. These are things which children should learn before any formal schooling.
Yes, it should be reinforced in the classroom but without parents also being on board it's likely to fail.
Shame that so many young people jump to the Democrats… because the “crowd” do
This professor and Jordan Peterson are my go to people. This professor keeps stuff simpler because he doesn't use lots of large words. Jordan ties things into other things and uses more sophisticated language. Both of them are logical and make good argumentation against or for things
A free thinker?
It's good to see someone who can think for themselves and listen to the facts and come to a conclusion that is sane and not based on feelings.🤔👍✌️🇺🇸

When I was your age (I’m 42), we were so excited to be moving out of an era where race mattered. So many of us believed that we were finally entering the era that Martin Luther King dreamed about in his famous speech. Refocusing on race has been such a slap in the face. There’s a time and place to be aware of race, but it’s become the dominant factor for too many people.
You know, I have a unique perspective on all of this. In 2006, I left the US, and was deployed by the US Air Force to South Korea for a year, then three, three-year consecutive assignments to bases in Europe. I came back to the US in early 2017. So basically by doing this and being gone for a decade, I was not "plugged in" to what was going on at home. When I left, I thought the same thing you just said... "So many of us believed that we were finally entering the era that Martin Luther King dreamed about in his famous speech." I agreed. When I came back, I immediately noticed that the news and TV were always talking abought the plight of black people in America, and then more attention was being placed on police interactions; and that is when Trump won the election and ALL the democrats aligned against him and started the name-calling. You know the rest.
thanks to race baiting leftist and racist democrats fanning the flames and keeping the "plantation" going.
I love how you described it being a slap in the face. For those of us born in the early sixties coming of age in the seventies . I feel like I have been transported back in time to all of my earliest memories. Luckily I had a patient mother who would sit down with her most inquisitive child and answer all my questions the best she could . It's not just racial issues either . It's politics , war , economy, the separation and lack of respect among the generations. We believed and I still do , it's the content of peoples character. Now the digital world is turning people into a bunch of narcissist.
Same here. I went to high school in MS, and my school was about 50/50 black and white.
We all hung out together, had parties and sleepovers as kids...ECT.
We obviously saw color, but it really didn't matter.
I was horrified a few years ago to see some of my childhood friends subscribed to black supremacy ideology. I literally spent weeks at some of these people's homes during the summers, just hanging out and enjoying the hospitality of their parents.
Same when they stayed at my house.
I know what happened. The media happened.
I’m 42 and I thought we would be much farther than this. Sad and exhausting.
LFR Jojo. I deeply appreciate your work.
In my experience in Police shooting against Blacks, it was their Black Privilege that got them shot. An example is the last shooting. The police stopped a pregnant Black female who witnesses described as a shop lifter. They asked her to step out of her car to clear the matter up. Instead, she choose to gun her car with an Officer standing in front and was shot! Imagine if she had complied, she's still be alive.
Black privilege, that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever herd . I guess it’s the privilege to be oppressed. Coon please be quiet!
Black privilege...man you're a complete idiot. That's for sure
The Washington Post started tracking police shootings after 2013. They label about 30 per year "unarmed", but if you actually look at individual incidents most of them had an unconventional weapon or something they took off the officer trying to arrest them. If you sort by "non-fleeing" you get closer to the truth and there's only about 3 genuinely innocent black people shot per year. 1 or 2 of them were not intentionally shot, but were hit by stray bullets after a drug dealer or gang member shot at police unprovoked. Your experience is pretty accurate to the numbers.
Exactly
BTW: Just recently video released shows she was part of a criminal theft ring of at least 3 members (now 2): 9/12/2023
Awesome college lesson! We need more of this. The number of officers being killed is quiet shocking too. What a job. People spit on you and you have to deal with the most dangerous situations. Kids these days FEEL too much and need to KNOW more.
These people WANT to believe it so statistics doesn't matter to them. Very dangerous way of thinking
My Senior English teacher taught me one very important lesson that I adhere to today: You are entitled to an opinion only if you can support it.
I have watched a number of these videos... and it shocks me that none of the students have the ability to state an opinion, justify it and stand behind it.
They are all afraid to answer "wrong" and have to look around the room to gauge what to answer. The white girl was undecided about every question and had a harder time voicing her opinion.
@@queens6583 pretty sad
They are young people being put on the spot with facts. Its not surprising. Its unfortunate that these conversations without the professor would go so differently.
@@nousernamesarevalid I understand what you are saying.... but the other people in the room are of no consequence. They are not asking you the question, and their judgement of your response doesn't matter. I guess I just grew up differently. Out of respect for myself, as well as trying to earn the respect of the prof, I would have stated my position, rationally defended it to the best of my understanding and admit I was incorrect gracefully if proven wrong. I would have been embarrassed just waffling back and forth like they are. I believe the prof was attempting to teach his students multi levels of problem solving at the same time. He very well might have been more impressed by the effort than the actual right answer. Anyone can learn the right answer..... but not everyone can, or is willing to, put in the extra effort.
Thanks for the comment!
i gotta say that me myself don't expose many opinions about race publicly. They will then look and treat you as if you were a racist. I think most people do the same. And I'm not racist (although that's what they say) I guess I'm both anti-woke and anti-racism
Loved this video! It’s shocking how successful the groups with an agenda to divide us racially have actually been!
A devil is someone who seeks to divide and sever relationships through lies. There are many devils in America today.
Humans are easily manipulated.
We were never united in the first place. Their goal is to disenfranchise and demoralize whyte folks.
So-called "Americans" have been working on this for years. They are usually called race hustlers or race baiters. Think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They are the ones who started all this "police are targeting and killing black people" thing about 50 years ago.
It's not hard to get ignorant people who don't care about much outside of their immediate life to believe what you want them to
She has been programmed to be a victim and that is a shame on the people that caused that
But to be a victim is so comfortable. It's never your fault, no need to change your attitude or behaviour because it is always the guilt of the others.
@DSP16569 I am a real victim. I was poisoned shortly after I was born.
Why not name the party that did this, and why they did it?
It always was, and still is, the democrat party that intentionally caused this racial animosity in America, and they did it for power, greed, and their own racist beliefs.
Glad you're catching up young man! 🍺
Stfu was slavery Jim Crow discrimination programming
The part that stands out to me isn't the misinformation part, but how these students feel the need to follow the message they are fed. You can see the inner struggle they have from giving an answer that doesn't victimize black people. This is especially true when that black girl said that she would agree with that kid holding up the sign saying "am I next". Even though the numbers were right in front of her, literally, she still said the words "yes he will be next" so watch out.
Explains why everyone you see online just repeats the same phrases or keywords when they try to answer things like this.
They are all programmed to be victims and see the cops as the enemy. Which is nuts.
I think part of the issue with that one person struggling with what they were comprehending is that they were probably not taught to admit they could be wrong and that what they know is actually wrong. And instead of admitting being wrong because of possibly feeling shame or embarrassment they attempt to cling to the false information they are familiar with instead of the unfamiliar facts. So I think not only is it important to learn how to do research and learn how to see and find the facts and not just believe everything you hear or see from the media but to also learn to admit when you are wrong because it is ok to be wrong about something as we are not all perfect.
Exactly. And then the white girl went along with it because no one seems to think for themselves anymore and they just say what whoever spoke before them said. I see it in almost all these types of videos. Drives me nuts! Sure, media lies, but it's our responsibility to research things. If the professor found all this info, so can we. If MSM tells me drinking cat spray is going to give me eternal youth, am i just going to go stand behind some male cats and wait? (the answer is no)
Brings to mind a couple of quotes:
"How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!" - Mark Twain
"The truth only hurts when you want to believe a lie" - Jennifer McVey
i sure hope this brings awareness and gets people (especially students) to think and research what they are being told before forming an opinion, protesting etc. Alot of people being played and manipulated by groups with nefarious intentions and money grabbing... follow the money folks
One of the biggest issues is the black community has had this victim mentality engrained into their minds by media, internet influencer, political leaders and some religious leaders that many will still do mental gymnastics to still hold up that victim mentality because they then won't have to feel they're responsible for their own actions
i don't know about the last part, i think they will work to maintain the mentality because to go against it is to go against your culture, your friends, your family, everything. that's not easy. when everyone around you is lying or repeating lies, it can be hard to accept the truth.
Exactly!
Jesse jackson and Al Sharpton SHOULD be hated by the black community, but they are Gods to the weak.
Cry babies!
Victim mentality - why is stating the truth of what happened being a victim. No one says that about Donald Trump when he whines. No one says that about the other politicians claiming they been wronged by the other party. No one says that when white people complain about something. Always, black people are the ones told they are wrong, and stop playing the victim. Why is something wrong when black people do it, but not wrong when white people do it? Stating truth or what they perceive as truth doesn't mean they don't want to take personal responsibility. There have been violent and deadly hate crimes by whites against blacks in the 20th and 21st century and those white people are in jail. So stop acting like it's all in black people's head.
I love the attention these students are giving to this lecture - they may actually learn something in this lecture
I have my doubts about whether they have learned anything new that they will take with them in life. One hears how reluctant they are to admit the speech of the numbers..
@comfusedpassanger3399 keep in mind that they are being exposed to facts that they were unaware of. It's hard to accept that your beliefs are wrong when confronted with facts that contradict your beliefs. Hopefully the lesson will take hold after they have time to actually think about it.

Jojo, I find your videos so refreshing. They are well done. My favorite part of every one of your videos is your commentary. Keep saying, "I don't know.". Mad respect for you, young man.
This younger generation is too dependent on and trusting of technology. They don’t require any wisdom, they just need to know how to use a device to access information. The problem is they don’t question it. There’s a topic called “the dumbing down of America” and this is the result of that idea. No independent thought, no curiosity, just blind obedience. It’s a dangerous development in society
The "dumbing down of America" predates the widespread use of information technology, smart devices, or the World Wide Web. It was a major topic of discussion in the mid to late Eighties. Consider the 1987 books _The Closing of the American Mind_ and _Cultural Literacy_ that both decried the gradual decline of academia dating from the post-WW2 era.
First you say the problem is that people have access to information wothout having to memorize it. Then you realize that access to info is good so you switched to saying its bad because young people dont know how to interpret information. Incoherent argument
This mindset has been carefully orchestrated by one of the major political parties in our country, the only party that gets 95% of any demographic.
... wouldnt that lead to only one party being in charge all the time?
@Eve.n.t_horizon 1. The Republicans don't need the black vote to win national elections, the Dems wouldn't win another national election if they got less than 85% of the black vote.
2. Where blacks live in concentrated areas ie. Chicago, there hasn't been a republican in office since before WW2.
@@Apostate_ofmindNo because the demographic they control 95% of is a minority. Truthfully through time though they have controlled the majority of the time.
yep i was just posting about how the US black culture of the 60s and 70s was about rising up and getting their due, but that means people stop voting democrat, once they make real money they earned through hard work.
so they ( who control entertainment media and news) started in the 1980s to replace hope, and struggle to greatness, with thug life and worshiping ignorance and violence, drug use and rejection of education. at the same time the welfare state taught black moms that if they kick dad out they get free money
so all the ignorant violent black men out their killing each other

@@Apostate_ofmind no, for two reasons. Reason one is that the 95 percent demographic she’s referring to is only actually 12 percent of the population total, a good quote to sum it up is “you might not win with us but you’ll lose without us”. With 95 percent of the black vote along side the other votes they get it usually pushes them over the edge to win but not always. The second reason is distribution, a large amount of the black population lives in a handful of states. A good example would be if America was made up of 80% white people and 20% black people but all the white people lived in 3 states and the black people were distributed throughout the other 47 states then the 20 percent of the population would decide all elections because it’s about the amount of states you win rather than popular vote. We have the electoral college to ensure that large states can’t decide what’s best for the rest of the country.
I remember seeing a video of a white police officer in a struggle with a black suspect. The officer was losing. There were four black people standing around (including the person shooting the video) who were recording the video on their cell phones. Nobody was jumping in to help the police officer. Why? Because the police officer was racist, of course! Obviously, he was fighting with an innocent suspect . These people were going to catch the next racist action, put it on youtube, and be famous. Meanwhile, the police officer is fighting for his life. Will he orphan his kids? Will his wife see him again? The bystanders could've fixed that, but chose to stand by and record.
I don't think this is just a race thing. People have gotten warped by social media. There have been multiple examples where people seemed more interested in filming incidents happening than trying to step in and help someone. They are more interested in getting the next viral video than helping their fellow human being.
@@Mrs.Silversmithno. They are afraid to jump in. If phone didn’t exist most would have just walked past still not helping having the same result. Here TikTok clicks override the uncomfortable feeling. It may even be better because instead of ignoring, people huddle around. But maybe I’m wrong.
@@darklordsauron3415 Considering the amount of people who have filmed fights that have turned deadly or in Canada people have shown themselves willing to film someone being bludgeoned to death? People film people being starved, shot or even viciously attacked over opinions?
Yea, I think you're wrong. They aren't afraid to jump in, they are sick and vile people who deserve nothing more then scorn and disgust. Social media is to blame, but these people deserve just as much criticism.
The fact you're trying to justify it in some capacity, makes me believe you yourself are part of the issue. We should be calling out these degenerates, not excusing their behavior and acting like it's completely normal to walk past these types of things. Sure, I can understand not wanting to help cause you've been burned in the past for daring to help others, but lemme ask you something.
If the roles were reversed? You wouldn't call for help? Bullshit.
I have seen where others, including blacks have step in.
And if he got killed nothing would have been said about the bystanders either. Media would have interviewed them and they would have said "yeah he be going after the brother.And he dint do nothin" But on the flip if the scenario was diffrent .the whites filming and whites would have been certainly been kkk or white Supremeist...But knowing the true answer some whites would have filmed but the rest most certainly would have stepped into try to stop it.
Waking up is the best...Good Job.
Appreciate you man, this is another great conversation from your channel! The victim race status philosophy is so nefarious, and it stems from Neo-Marxist critical theory nonsense. Democrats love to use this to keep voters divided. We’re all the same, and we need to stop the division. Merit is the only fair way to judge success. That’s a conservative philosophy btw.
"Real communism has never been tried before" 🤡😂

The most shocking thing is that truth is being taught to some college students.
This is one heck of a teacher. Really engaging these students.
This is a professor that everyone needs to listen to... Facts matter!!!
You've earned a subscriber. I adore young critical thinkers like yourself. Keep on going
Keep these videos coming, brother. So much of whats out there are blatant lies or misrepresentations of the facts and causing so much distrust and hatred between us, when the distrust and hatred should be directed at the media, government and shools. Thank you!
I like this young guy. He is open minded and likes to educate himself. Well done dude.
He learned from his parents. His dad is AWESOME! ❤ He has an open mind and a channel, too.
Your growth from a music channel to a critical thinking young man exploring higher education is astounding. I love this. Please keep learning and never stop asking questions!
It would be good if he had critical thinking skills. He’s very naive and he lacks those skills, unfortunately.

We’re living in a society of facts don’t matter it’s all about your feelings! 🙄 She keeps saying “I don’t know I just feel like”… 😂
That's because she has been lied to her whole life and now, as a young adult, she is finally being told the truth and she isn't ready for that truth stick jabbing her in the brain and it's causing her to have a mini stroke.
Logic and facts are hard to accept when you've never had to hear them or use them yourself.
Most women run on feelings.
No. She keeps saying, "I like don't like know. I like just like feel like"
I almost feel badly for that Black girl. She can't even form a sentence because her brain is trying to process and reprogram 20 years of brainwashing. Everything she's been told, by everyone she's ever trusted, has been lies. That has got to be shocking to your system. Like being told you were adopted when you are an adult after 20 years of believing you were the child of the people you call mom and dad.
Or like finding out that racism isn't real but 99% of racism is a construct created to divide the people of the country where you live and you've wholeheartedly believed that narrative and based your whole life on that horrible lie.
Do you tell her now that there is no Santa Claus or would that push her over the edge of sanity?
@@joeyjojoshabadoo889 😂 ok. You did it better🥴…
6:20 It's not just the mindset, it's the media and politicians making it seem like we are all about to be killed by our "enemies". I'd also like to add that mindset doesn't just come from nowhere. It's being taught. Freeing yourself from a cycle is all people should strive for. Different battles for different people. For my mom her cycle to fight was one of abuse. Personal struggles are a lot deeper than what people are "fighting" today and impact your life the most.
Opinions based on emotions are not as plausible as options based on true numbers.
Man, I have always loved spending time with engineers. The ability to think logically and fact based is so much more pleasant than the emotional driven conversations. You are such a pleasure to watch. Observing your mind grow is so much fun!
Thank you for sharing.
God bless you!
The definition of racism includes finding one race superior than the other. It doesn't say its your own race, that you're considering superior.
Right, that would be ethnocentrism. The belief that your ethnicity is superior
I feel this, I feel that. Facts have no feelings.
Young man, your parents must be so very proud of you! I watch your dad’s channel as well and I know where you get it! Your videos are opening many eyes to content they may never see! Keep it up!
Oh wow, his dad has a channel too? What's the name of it so I can look it up?

@ketomom4637 thank you 😊
Victim Mindset!!! you hit the nail on the head brother. Don't ever let anyone tell you what you can and cannot accomplish! Hard work will prove them all wrong!
I love what you are doing my friend, keep educating fellow black people in the truth, don’t fall for the fake media that only misleads you for ratings.
As a numbers geek I like the way you point out that your chances are closer to 0 than to 1. It really exemplifies the fact that that your chances of getting shot by the police are literally non-existent.
Or at least the next thing to it. Certainly nothing to be concerned about at all.
In fact, police face a much higher probability of being shot and killed by black males ... but it's the racist white police you got to watch out for.
The teacher hasnt even stated crime statistics by race. When you see those then you understand further the problem. Figure out why people are committing crime and the work solutions from there. People have already done this but nobody is willing to listen to those resolutions because it means hard work for all involved, all of society. It also means we put the money into helping our citizens b4 we put it to helping other countries and non citizens.
I know, right? Growing up in a predominantly white community, I could have looked at the guys I went to school with, and probably picked about 1% of them that were likely to end up in prison or getting put down by the cops. And had I grown up in "the hood", I'm guessing that number might be substantially higher. I think MOST of the people that end up getting shot by the police come as no surprise to family, friends, neighbors, etc.
And in black neighborhoods, a lot of people DEFEND the criminals among them. They refuse to turn them in, even as their own neighborhoods rot from within due to the drugs, crime and violence. It's a self-perpetuating system if nobody is willing to put their foot down and say "no more". You make the bed you lie in, so there's little use complaining about it later.
The best comment in this entire comments section is your third sentence: "Figure out why people are committing crime and then work solutions from there." And when we do that, I think we'll see that what Ben Shapiro once said is so very true: "it has nothing to do with race and EVERYTHING to do with CULTURE." Our problems in this country are more about CLASS than RACE. Poor people and mentally ill people are terribly marginalized, yet for some reason, the media would rather focus on the color of people's skin.
@@ProtectLifeAlways - I think you misunderstood Ben when he spoke about culture. He wasn't talking about class or wealth. There are extremely poor areas of the country with almost no crime to speak of... and there are very wealthy areas that are absolutely riddled with violence and crime.
But there is a pervasive subculture that CELEBRATES criminal behavior. They applaud it in music, in film and TV, and they excuse it at every turn. They refuse to turn in criminals, though everyone in these areas know exactly who the criminals are. And they don't seem to care how violent or depraved their neighborhoods become... they try to blame that on other people and other factors.
It's sad and it needs to stop. But there are many who refuse to even acknowledge that elephant in the room. They'd far rather play word games. They'd rather blame everything and everyone else, though we all know what the real issues are. It's just sad.
@@ProtectLifeAlways The problem is, if you check the racial crime statistics from every country that allows these stats to be made available, you'll find a similar racial breakdown. Where do blacks have a "good" culture overall? And no, I'm not saying ALL are this way or that
Hard work and solutions are racist!
OMG! RIGHT! People always assume that the police are in the wrong when they shoot someone. No one ever thinks. "what did they DO to make the cops shoot them?" Were they committing a crime? Were they trying to attack the cop? I mean there are so many variables to a situation that people don't even stop to think about, they just jump to those conclusions.
It's a combination of victimhood indoctrination, a political agenda and a lying distorting media.
What's wrong is those who should be getting shot aren't.
@@ajstacks41510 Violent criminals are being shot. Who else do you think should be shot?
@@brucesmith9092 the ones who are shooting up schools churches and grocery stores. The fake vigilantes especially. Not those who were in their own homes sleep, had a gun permit or simply walking down the street.
No one in that room had the balls to say “blacks commit more crimes when you factor in population!”
This "victim mindset" carries over to me when I am in the store and the black clerk ignores me because she thinks that "my people" ??? (her name) hate her - so she takes it out on me. Now carry that over to the police. Very sad. Great video here. thank you.
What? That means you’re the one that has the victim mindset because you don’t even know what the black clerk thinks and yet you assume she’s ignoring you because you’re white? Ignorant People like you
As a father with kids around your age, and label as a marginalize Minority by the MSM for their narrative (but never once felt marginalize), and a reasonable math geek (love it when you pull out the calculator and see your mind kicking into high gear), just want to say congrats and pride of you take the initiative to get all facts, see the raw data, and go through the analysis before drawing your own conclusion or belief !
The thing is, there is way more information not being shared by MSM, or even social media, just the tidbits they need to keep their viewers focused on them. And there are way too many people who are focusing on those who tell them what they want to hear, while ignoring those expressing what needs to be said.
one of the biggest reasons I believe people think it's so many and that it's gonna be majority black is the news always seems to broadcast those cases.
and those in charge of these networks know exactly what they're doing when they distort like this
Remember seeing a video of a black man going into a police station and tried to shoot the officer behind but his weapon jammed. Man was shot dead by the officer while he was still trying to get the weapon to work.
Clearly a White Supremacist forced him to do it.
Did people riot after that?
The people in this group were blessed to have some light shined on the subject of media manipulation. Maybe they'll make good decisions going forward.
Stop FEELING and start THINKING!!
Helping people learn to form their own decisions is a powerful tool for any single person. You are now equipped to not be controlled by others.
I agree; even if you learned a lot of this at home or at school before, there is almost always something to learn from another's perspective. "try to think about it this way...." that kind of thing. Something you'd never thought of.
Thanks for covering this. Everyone needs to be aware of these statistics.
After being wrong the first couple of times, you would think these two college students would catch on that their opinions were skewed and answer differently by the time they got to the “armed v unarmed” question.
Not really surprising to me.
It seems clear that one has fully embraced the racist narrative and the other is afraid to stand up to it (we all know that fear is not a phobia, it is real and justfied)
The thing I liked about this video is how the students are listening to their professor. What he was saying may have challenged their worldview but none of them were screaming or calling him a racist or saying his was promoting white supremacy or saying they felt "unsafe." We hear so much about how fragile college students are and there are hundreds of videos showing someone having a meltdown or trying to get a speaker cancelled and yet here we have a whole auditorium of people listening respectfully even though the subject may be sensitive to some.
Well kudos to Penn State University, for admitting students like this and allowing this type of in-class lecture and discussion to happen. Nothing political here at all, just straight analysis using research done by the Washington Post, not a newspaper known for having a conservative editorial page for example.
I've been watching this professor for about a year, in the classroom and out. He challenges my opinions and makes me think. I find myself asking "What if I'm wrong?"
I salute you, young man! Thank you for being a critical thinker and looking for/sharing facts.
Young man , I’m from uk and I appreciate your video and your open mind
I hate it when anybody is shot and killed by the police no matter what color they are. But if you can't do the time don't do the crime!!!
old white guy 70 years old who grew up in. harlem, we all got along white Hispanic,Black,Italian,Irish,the only problem was if you couldn't play ball,basketball,catch a football,hit in stickball than you got busted on the cops broke our balls all the time,we couldn't hang out if we weren't playing ball and sometimes they would take the pot from one of the older guys but all in all they didn't want us to get into big trouble... perhaps if minorities see the facts than when they get stopped maybe they wouldn't feel like their lives are being threatened and they have to resist. to survive .. please DON"T RESIST comply and you will live to see tomorrow
@@thomasespositio3139I’m not saying nyc don’t have its problems, but for the most part every race gets along over here. We’re a melting pot. I see a lot of racial issues and tensions is the south and Midwest. Never had a issue with any race growing up in Brooklyn.
Hopefully when your mommy is being attacked by a raypsst, you'll try not to be a thumbsucking coward and you'll bury a hatchet in his skull.
You don’t see white people protesting the deaths of other whites by cops because we know they were doing something illegal and their actions got them killed. They brought it on themselves. I don’t put criminals on a pedestal. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I think the worst thing to EVER happen to TRUTH has been 24 hour a day NEWS. News suddenly became dependent upon ratings. So stories had to stir up emotions because then more people will watch. And you do that by exaggerating the truth. Or just outright lying. You make the story bigger than it is. MEDIA owes all of us an apology. They have caused a lot of harm - and are still doing so - in their quest to be number one.
Social media killed us… huge mistake. Should have stayed with just having a computer at home if we needed to look something up.
Yes, the news...a TV programme...helping to "programme" us. They don't hide it, they just rely on our compliance, laziness not to question anything, cherry picking what suits our reality and ignorance.
JoJo, you one of a very, very small (under 5) of young ppl I can stand listening to. Way too many fruit loops and I have ZERO tolerance for bullshit.
You're actually curious about opposites, not just tunnel visioning. You're eager for a broader view of issues. You're willing to admit lack of knowledge & if you're proven wrong in a belief. It's really quite refreshing😊
