@@X3nophiliac Don't forget FD Signifier called Aba and Preach coons while FD hanging out with Hasan on a stream at his house, like the pot calling the kettle black lol
lol you forgot to add the part that Umar has 2 kids out of wedlock, two baby mamas and does all this advocating for the black family and marrying black women but couldn't even live up to HIS OWN standard.
lol you forgot to mention the part that Dr. Umar also has a gambling addiction. This guy is spending all those donations at casinos and the like. You all have been warned. If you are sending ANYTHING to Dr. Umar it is gone up on smoke.
You know, I've never really understood the whole "Black people like chicken" thing. Like, last I checked EVERY race loves chicken, it's fecking chicken!
It is probably related to how chicken is cheaper than beef so it is usually considered the poor people's choice, and in places that have a history of ethnic oppression the ethnicity that was oppressed is usually the one considered to be poor by default. It is a cultural issue that is inherited but has no need to exist because everyone likes chicken.
Exactly. I remember the first time I stumbled on one of his videos and at the end he put his cash app up and told people to send money I was like uhhhh
I have a friend, who’s white, that lived in a neighborhood, and went to a school that was predominantly black. He said he would get jumped by black kids at least once a month throughout high school. He’s a doctor now, and works in a black neighborhood because he said he wanted to give back to the ppl that shaped his life, because he had way more black ppl do positive things for him than the negativity of the beatings.
I’m white and my ex gf (who is black) was exactly like this. Although she didn’t make it apparent the first few months we were dating it was jaw dropping how everything soon became “check your privilege” tirades laced with some of the most vile, hateful racist things I’ve ever heard. I don’t even know why she asked me out in the first place if that’s how she really felt.
@Jaleel_HS I am black and was in a relationship with a black woman and I didn't even want to go out in public with my ex because it'd always end in starting confrontations with white people over nothing. Felt like the twilight zone. She once told me, "You're supposed to have my back in public no matter what and tell me I'm wrong in private." That's when I realized despite her Master's Degree, she was mentally a child, for real. Made me feel sick.
I'm actually living in the city which is where his school is supposed to be built. There's been no progress on it despite the donations. But there IS a big mural of him on the front of the building... My buddy and I like to drive to it just for a laugh every once in a while.
These guys are literally the Gustavo meme “You love black people cause they’re made in the image of God. I love black people because they aren’t white. We are not the same”
The reasons presented in this video are the reasons why I have always been embarrassed by the black people of America. Kahmal's talking points are pinpoint: No one is coming to save you so you might as well get to work saving yourself. Thanks for making this video that NEEDED to be made and thanks for bringing some actual reason this great "race" debate Kahmal. Much love from Australia.
Couldn't have said it better myself. _These people are just professional, virtue signalling race baiters who use "Terms of Subversion" specifically designed to manipulate Americans to get them to hate/blame one another, while ignoring the core causes of inequality in the U.S today. Poverty, A culture of Apathy, A Poor Education system, Breakdown of the Family Unit, No Social healthcare, lack of opportunities, lack of proper Support for the Mentally ill and most of all a serious epidemic of drugs and addiction .ect._
Saving yourself is fine and dandy. But it's not going to stop the steady march of black people toward destruction. Organization is what we should be focused on. But y'all have let these people make you too comfortable. The era of peace and tolerance is gradually coming to an end. The writing is on the wall. Yet we, at the bottom of this society, don't seem to be concerned about what will happen to us when shit hits the fan. SMH. We are COOKED!
It's hilariously ironic that he wants to name his school after Fredrick Douglas considering how Douglas openly expressed his disdain for those that are exactly who he is.
It makes zero sense, Douglas would have to be the shining example of an uncle t in their eyes. Like what even. I'm not saying he is, just that that's what they consider it to be
Not gonna lie Umar is the funniest guy on the internet. He sometimes says some rational things but most of the time he is about as credible as a clown at a 12 year old's birthday party.
@@Kahmalwastaken "We wuz kings" is shit that really fuckin racist, like stormfront type people popularized. Is that how badly you want to distance yourself?
I really find videos like this refreshing. As a Black person I'm around so many other Black people lamenting the state of their lives and blaming it on some external (white) source. I like to operate with this doctrine when the matter of a rough past or a tough situation in my life comes up "No one is going to help you because no one cares". It recontextualizes your life in a way where you know it's up to you and only you to solve your problems and improve your living conditions. So you don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself while nothing changes.
Yeah, I can understand both viewpoints/approaches, but I also see all too likely problems with both, at least in the long run. Most societies now _try_ to improve the situations of people who start off worse for some reasonor other, but in pretty much all cases, it's a work in progress, _and_ it takes actual generations to take effect. So when someone is _completely_ going with the "I have to do it all myself" mindset, of course they'll have a better chance of actually doing better - but they're also far more likely to be against stuff like government programs to help out people who start off under worse conditions. On the other hand, when someone relies too much on the help of society, you get the "but my group has been oppressed, so now you all have to feed me through" whiners with their victim mentality... I'd say a middle ground, leaning more one side or the other depending on how much effort that society is actually putting into equalizing the "starting conditions", is the best way to go, ideally always with the goal of improving the _overall_ situation. But that requires a sense of nuance, something I fear has been "trained out" of far too many people in the USA, and not just becaus eit's French...
@@Wolf-ln1ml well yeah, I think the government is inadequate as a whole, they misuse billions of dollars a year and you and I have little to no power in changing that. Taxes are way too high for incredibly inefficient programs. I digress though, I think the best thing to do is to minimize government interference as much as possible to the point where people voting for policies, programs, tax rates etc for their local area is actually effective. Regardless I don't see the issue with people not wanting to involuntarily have their money go towards programs they don't want them to, it is their money after all. Since what's to stop people that actually do want to facilitate these programs from reaching into their own pockets and doing it with their own money? It's essentially forcing people to support programs that you, yourself (not saying you specifically), find value in when you can support it yourself and with likeminded individuals. I think the nuance of the matter ultimately comes down to voluntarism.
@@blues4509 _"Regardless I don't see the issue with people not wanting to involuntarily have their money go towards programs they don't want them to, it is their money after all."_ Well, I do. I don't want any of my money to go into the infrastructure-rebuild in the Aar-valley here in Germany (where that flood was a couple of years ago) for example. But it's going there anyway. In return, people from there certainly aren't happy that their tax money went into strengthening the dams against the North Sea recently - which is what _I_ profited from. In both cases, if the funds had been held back for something that the people locally wanted them to be used for, neither would have gotten the help they needed *_when they needed it._* That's of course not a perfect example, I'm sure one could find a way to make it work somehow - but that would certainly require a good bit of additional bureaucracy, which would _also_ be quite a waste of resources. I could certainly come up with plenty more examples, but I hope my point is getting across with this one already. There is also another argument: We are a social species. How about you show some social responsibility, maybe even compassion? And I mean for more than just your direct neighbors, but for your entire society?
This makes me feel super blessed that my school didn't have much of a race issue because we were all different. But we sure did get treated differently on how much money we had. I have a memory burned into my head of being in the lunch line for school and it was $3.50 and I only had $2, so the woman loudly said you don't have enough for lunch and I'm going to put it on your debt. Thanks for letting the whole school know, Debbie 🙃
I'm a black dude who just discovered your channel. I watch Umar for laughs and giggles. He's unintentionally funny. You're funny af too bro. Subscribed.
Thank you for speaking out on this. Race isn't a replacement for a personality or someone's entire identity. It's a characteristics that's beyond our control. Yes it's part of us but shouldn't define us.
That’s easy to say but races were literally legally separated only 2 generations ago and redlining was a thing until the 80’s. Race does define you whether we admit it or not but it shouldn’t define everything about you
@@hansolo9585 Every single race in the world has more freedom and possibilities of success now than in any other point in human history. You Americans are just obsessed with race and make it everyone's problem.
If black people had the option to buy think about race they would. But sadly they keep getting reminded by it lol. Let's not forget trayvon martin was followed and killed for no reason. And his killer got off. You don't know how race plays apart in life until your black in a white area and start getting questioned why your there.
@@hansolo9585right well imo we shouldn’t be taking lessons from the past. We should be moving forward and seeing everyone as an individual no matter what tone of skin
How is eating/liking food an insult to began with? We all eat the same thing. Its like they ran out of insults but if you get offended by it you’re dumb af cause I know you love chicken 🫵🫵🫵
When you go too far in either direction you wind up in the same spot. I think to get to that spot you need to be extremely neurotic. Once people get too partisan I skip the politics and just wonder about their psychology. F.D. actually seems like a pretty bad guy, just based on how he describes humans and their purpose in life.
@@hansolo9585 the far right might be cringe but the right is just common sense and not insane. The left is just ridiculous for the most part. And the Far left is clinically insane.
As a HWITE man, I couldn't possibly imagine the oppressive nature of another black person telling me I should be proud of my hair. It's tantamount to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade if you really think about it.
In my black community it’s pretty normal to sometimes not have the time to get alll dressed up a presentable to run a simple errand a lot of us have long stressful days and often are just running out the house to grab something and come back quickly so yea not everytime we’re in public we don’t look our best but I don’t see what’s wrong with that
I remember singing this to myself at work when I first saw the movie…(I’m super white). Some black coworkers heard me and I thought they would be offended. They loved it cuz they got the reference.
As a pasty wHite dude who grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood and went to alright schools, phrases like “white privilege” never crossed my mind throughout my school years until I was on the internet. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t living like Kenny from South Park eating pop tarts but there were times where it was pretty bad, there were times where me and my dad were forced to move and live at other people’s house constantly moving from place to place it was bad, and I was lucky to land on my feet. What I’m saying is, I grew up broke and I grew up broke around other broke kids (like I said it wasn’t like Kenny from South Park bad but there were rough times) I went to school with many different types of kids, black, white, mexican (especially Mexican),Asian, and even Indian. I also had a lot different types of friends with different races and we would say the most messed up and racist jokes to each other that would get us banned and cancelled immediately. My point is even though we looked different we could bond over the fact that we were broke ass kids with broke ass parents and that kinda brought us together. People like FD Signifier and Dr Umar (and Noah Samsen) live in this reality where race issues are just as bad as they were half a century ago (and I’m not saying it’s perfect like I said I grew up in the south and I’ve seen actual racist still around), but I feel like especially these days we are more divided by class then we are by race so trying to see everything threw race is unproductive and it only divides us as a country. PS:it’s funny how both of these two constantly go on advocating for black issues and the struggles that the black community go through are so quick to call anyone who disagrees or criticizes them or even offers well rounded advice for black people an “Uncle Tom” or a “Coon”
The funniest part is that they could actually get more support if they didn't narrow it down to colour. For example when people say, "Immigrants are just loud, lol, it's our culture." I just want to tell them that yeah, poor people are loud. Go visit a trailer park.
It's impossible to say if we truly are more divided amongst class than race. But I will say, it's a lot easier to relate to others through class than race, and that's why the focus should be there. Ivy League blacks and whites with primo education write the rules while people just trying to get by just try to get by.
I mean, you can have your perspective. But my girlfriend went to the south to hang out with her friend. And in a restaurant were being looked at by everyone. There are even parts of California i can't go to because the kkk are affiliated and mark the territory. And because I sound white online i have had to bare witness to some of the most heinous shit ever said to other black people in the lobby. White privilege isn't about money. It's about the way your able to move through the world with ease. When your black one of the first things you ever get taught is how the police will kill you if you do the wrong thing. That you have to work twice as hard to get an even shake. We have to get taught this to live safely through the world. My first racist experience was on new years. Where a cop pulled over my dad for no reason. And actively question who we were and where we were going because we were in a pretty white area for fireworks show.
I agree! I am Indian and I grew up really poor, we didnt even have warm water or electricity a lot of the time. At that time I never got along with my "own" people because a lot of them were quite privileged and rich due to their parents being doctors and engineers. Instead I became best friends with a lot of white people who like me grew up extremely poor. Like you said it was something we bonded over and race never really played that much of a role.
Normally I try to reduce commenting to only when I think of something witty or funny, but genuinely I love your content so much and it single-handedly brings me out of my semi-daily existential dread of the direction our society is going. Thank you thank you thank you
Also with that said, I actually do agree with the point he speaks around 17:18. I was the only black student at school for the majority of my education. Every now and then another would pop up until my Seinor year of HS where a ton of black students started to move in. After graduation I decided to go to an HBCU to sort've get back what I lost so to speak and get a sense of community. I didn't graduate there, and while there were some classes that were very good at teaching me more about myself, no the education wasn't exactly the best, but I wouldn't trade the couple of years I spent there for anything, just because it was there I felt as though I truly found my own identity being surrounded by a bunch of peers that looked just like me. Even though I didn't stay at that school, I still appreciate the time that I spent there because of both how much I learned, and how many people I'd meet that I still talk too until this very day, even after I transferred out.
I wouldn't frame it like he did, but there is something to be said for a sober woman consenting to taking a drug from what is effectively a complete stranger. What are you expecting? It's not Benadryl.
@@OdaSwifteyetruth. It’s unfortunate that telling women simple things like “don’t take random drugs from complete strangers” is seen as victim blaming.
lemme tell yall, growing up half black and half mexican was tough, but it was more with other black and mexican people, when i was a kid i couldnt fit in with other kids in my neighborhood or at school ( i lived in the ghetto). I dealt with more racism from my mexican side of the family (they accept me now), and black kids seen me as a mexican kid/ Mexican kids seen me as a black kid etc. never dealt with any racial issues with white people up untill BLM and i got them weird ahh white folks that say im self hating because i didnt riot and stuff like that.
im in the same boat, luckly there is a big population of mixed ppl were i grew up, so i only saw how much of an issue it was for lots a folk, after i left after highschool, it still blows my mind why folk are so die hard one way or the other, the melting pot is why the usa got on top, and we shunning it now like different kinds of ppl will destroy the country, its a bummer
@@chooseyouhandleyeah the whole ‘only white people can be racist’ thing is insane. Worst thing is that it’s usually white people that say that, not anyone else.
@@chooseyouhandleit's so ironic because that's the bigotry of low expectations for themselves and the bigotry of all whites implying they are the only racist.
Oh. I've seen the doctor dude be used in memes. The "I beg your pardon." guy. I thought it was a character. He's actually being serious and that makes me laugh in embarrassment.
Naw man I disagree with the point on the 3:00 minute mark. Saying that opportunity being there actually neglects the way in which social mobility has drastically changed for the worst in the us and how capitalism does execerbate these issues such as entrenched economic inequality, exploitation of labor by corporations, detriment and neglect to the environment that fuels climate change by these corporations. You criticse leftist influencers for being polarizinflg and dismissive of other views but (respectfully) you are exhbiting the exact same traits.
Those leftest influencers are usually rich kids. Who have hedge fund/ inflation leverage trust funds. They stay rich. I’m from Canada. Getting out of the hole in a “developed socialist countries is very hard, let alone a developing one. Ppl don’t know what they don’t know. No hate but I can’t sit and act like socialism is that good. Canadian health care is horrible. We are in big trouble with all the baby boomers retiring. It’s very bad atm. Media wil tell you other wise. Our main media news is cbc. Which is government owned. They don’t tell the truth.
Kahmal you are one of the only creators on this website with legit common sense. So nice to see someone with rationale, saying what everyone else is thinking, succeed. Wish you all the best man
I just discovered you're channel from your terrace howard video and i have a feeling you're going to be one of my favorite channel to watch. Can't wait to see you hit 1 million plus subscribers.
I remember a certain FAMILY cruise line mentioned that they would prefer their guest to stop twerking in public areas. People were saying the policy was targeted towards black people. I couldn't believe my ears.
Its amazing hearing these people make outrageous demands while offering absolutely nothing in return. So basically, under their reasoning, if your ancestors ever suffered an injustice, then society must pay all your bills and you are entitled to bask in luxury forever and ever.
Well no but you can't really complain when a group of people you made an effort to disenfranchised becomes violent and unrully. That's on you. Not even looking at slavery, if you look at the shit that was happening in the 20 century/1900s alone. It is insane how evil those acts were and how many of those people are still alive to this day. Also economically I'm pretty sure black people are some of the biggest consumers in the market which is why so many things pander to the black markets.
A dignified existence and access to better education isn’t the same thing as “luxury”. Nobody is telling black people “not to save their money” - the impetus is “saving money won’t effectively move you from poverty into an advantageous position”. The structural barriers within the bounds of poverty transcend pockets. Making a half-hour “racially obsessed video” about other’s “racial obsession” doesn’t exclude homie from being racially obsessive.
@@SLATTERDAYBut saving money does do that. Working multiple jobs helped my fiancé go from living on the streets to owning an apartment and being able to afford food. And him being black didn’t get in the way that.

I just finished his Hasan video, it's really interesting jumping to this one to see how he's tactically posturing himself in the TH-cam space to appeal to certain demographics.
@@Shadeprint I can definitely understand ppl disagreeing with Hasan and FD... But Hasan is a political commentator who's really clear about how he wasn't taking Piers Morgan that seriously bc piers never takes him seriously. And as for FD... Dude has a PhD (outside of dissertation I think) in sociology along with 2 other degrees I believe. He has worked as a teacher for a while and uses his channel to work as a philosopher diving into aspects of culture especially black culture. He is NOT a race reductionist 😂
@@simplybaker. There's a discussion between him and FD, it's very enlightening. FD asks "What have I said that isn't true" and he has no answer. If you don't follow Hasan, it can be easy to trick someone using him out of context, which is exactly what Kahmal does.
I theorize that the reason why he’s always using soft phrases towards black men and boys alike is because he’s reaching out to a certain target audience of black men who seek validation and support from what id like to assume “a father figure” or something to that effect.
I tried watching a Signifier video like last month or so. It was his spike lee video. The theme of the video was basically "Even if you don't think you're racist, you know you actually are!" Like he made it sound like you need to subconsciously apply like 50 rules in order to have one simple exchange with a black person.
You can tell these people don't travel around very much because most non-racist white people already know how to talk to black people. They just treat them like normal human beings. Having a million special rules for interacting with them means that a person doesn't see them as a fellow peer but as a minefield for social media cancelation.
It's a Kafka trap, it's lazy, you can't win with this argument. He's always going to be right, no matter what you're racist and have to listen to him. Even if you're colour blind or very racist, you're the same no matter what you do, you're a villain in his eyes.
You can always disregard someone when they say you've got some undetectable subliminal stuff happening in your brain. If you can't spot it, they can't spot it either. It's as bad as going around convincing people they're possessed by demons, just so you can charge them for an exorcism. This is a HUGE problem in psychology and sociology circles; people convince themselves they're trained mind readers, doing a service for others, despite how much others strongly disagree.
I was close to subscribing to your channel, but I changed my mind when you came for FD Signifier. FD is very smart very self aware and doesn't always talk about race matters other than to acknowledge racism and white privilege. There is no comparison to Dr. Umar at all. FD is a legit scholar and academician, Umar onlu calls himself one. But speaking out against racism isn't a bad thing. things
This is why we need more science. Race is a social construct (invented by scientists of the past, I know) but in _modern contemporary_ science there is only 1 race, the human race. Our skin color is the way it is for the purpose of surviving certain climates. I am a Black man. There are men in Sri Lanka who are darker than me, but they're not considered Black, they're considered Brown. Who's blacker Drake or Tiger Woods? The answers are always dumb because the question is dumb.
Yeah I totally get what you're saying and where your coming from but there ARE objective, observable differences those scientists used to determine the 3 major races so the didn't arbitrarily create a construct. Besides to answer your question, skin colour wasn't a factor, hence the Sri Lankan maybe darker but bone structure, eye shape, etcetera is what determines the difference. No one categorized these observal differences out of hate ( though they could be used so). Either way we are all human and whatever differences there are are accidental qualities and trivial in the grand scheme
@daviddiggens8841 true but we aren't talking about the Caucasian, Negroid and Mongloid. It's the white, black and brown/ yellow thing and that's based on skin color, which barely makes sense. Nobody is black, white or yellow, we are all shades of brown (maybe cream color and pink).
The funniest part about this is these people dont want to change shit, they just want to be the jackboot. Hell, for many they already all lmao. Excellent video
Yeah. That's the vibe I get from so many people, it's not," There is a boot on our neck and we must remove it." but, "It's our turn to be the boot on the neck.". :(
@@dumbbumsc5329Ah, you are more charitable than I am. ;) I think they will "talk" about what it would be like removed but never promise to do anything. Where is the school after all? All talk no action. :(
The point about buying power is actually pretty interesting because it is a classic economics class point that "you cannot take the poor out of a person". The point is that if you do not come from a sociocultural background of financial literacy, it is extremely difficult for your to develop financial wealth. That is why, in a very basic sense, many parts of the world are still poor despite having been at the crossroads of world trade for thousands of years. Also stating that there is an "African Culture" is equating 1.2 billion to have the same cultures, values and beliefs and ignoring 5k years worth of history. There is no african culture just like there is no asian or european culture.
its weird to call regions like north africa and the middle east "still" poor when they have been some of the richest regions on earth in the past. the reason that that is no longer the case is clearly less to do with the people not reading "the philosophy of money" or whatever weird book kahmal suggests, and more so related to the constant colonisation and war brought by western empires. was an iraqi whose house got bombed too "financially irresponsible" or should the USA maybe not have bombed his house?
The lack of self-accountability is a blinder for many people around the world. We manifest what we think, and we think what we manifest. I appreciate your point of view, not that I agree with everything. But you are showing how all of us are not the same and we have many free thinkers. Blessings to you Kahmal.
Dude it took me a minute, but i really really like your editing. Really smooth, well done. I just watched my first two of your videos, and i thought they were both so well done. Subscribed! Keep it up, man
26:25 is just insane to me My grandparents are an interracial couple and have been together for over 40 years Kumar is so politics brained that he somehow forgets the countless people who have deep relationships despite the variance in melanin levels
i dont think he forgets i think he actually believes that the only good or moral folk on the planet are ppl in his same race, so he automatically thinks everyone else must think like him, and they only act different so they can scam or control ppl. it shows how bad of a guy he really is, imo
The worse thing about them, or at least for FD, is that if you don't agree, criticize or aren't in the same political party as them you are the "enemy". The whole " if you're not with me, then you're against me has never worked, and only makes people more distant
Just don't point out that without opposition, you don't have democracy. Their brains can't handle simple facts like that. They just see the "evil" ideology of their "enemies" and think the world needs to be rid of it. Or at least that's what their extreme language would have one believe. Take a look at Russia for what "democracy" without opposition looks like.
I am sorry but Pan-Africanism is a notion as ridiculous as Pan-Europeanism, Pan-Asianism, etc. Because it's acting like everyone on the continent shared the same culture or got along all hunky-dory...when it's very clear that is not the case. Not only that, it lumps all the cultures on a continent as a monolith rather than distinct cultures with shared overlaps. Acting like just cuz' people look like or are even closely related to one another that they are automatically going to get along. If that was the case, places like The Balkans or The Middle East should be calm and peaceful places.
History has shown that humans always have conflict with one another, there is no peaceful utopia. Ironically the most peaceful utopia we have is the one we are living in today, since American Hedgemony there has been less colonial warfare than there ever has been throughout history.
What is crazy is that you never see a actual AFRICAN BORN dude support that bullshit, because its a american thing, because they think the rest of the world is like the US. Europeans are all white, they have wage war with each other since forever, French and Brits HATE each other as a culture, Romans called germanic tribes barbarians. They were all unique people with unique cultures, but Americans weirdos think because they share the same amount of melanin suddenly they all get along and have the same culture. Because thats what it is, Pan-Africanism is just americans having a dumb view of the world, because they think Africa is as big as chicago, that continent has 2000+ ethinic groups with unique cultures, a lot of them fought against each other, sometimes even genociding each other, but to the Dr.Umars wannabes all africans had the same culture, thats why they claim their cultural attires, food and hairstyles, because they dont see it as cultural apropriation because to americans you culture doesnt matter, only your skin color. African Americans dont know where they came from, so instead of just sticking to their own culture they try to leech of Africans, and they really apropiate the fucking cultures lol, because they ignore the rules and customs of the cultures, because a hairstyle or clothing could be reserved for a certain ocassion, religion, ritual or life point, and they misuse the fuck out of those things and claim "its my culture lol". because imagine how fucking nonsensical it would be for me, a white brazilian dude with Italian heritage to claim French culture as my own and apropiate things from their culture because i am white
That’s because many, if not most, African-Americans have little understanding of Africa other than the Atlantic Slave Trade (and often their facts are wrong about this) and maybe apartheid in South Africa…
Pan-Europeanism already happened, genius. That is why the European Union is one of the most powerful entities in the world, in case you didn't notice. Even though not all the countries joined, they are still powerful enough to exploit damn near every country in Africa with impunity. Take notes.
I went to a school as the only non white kid. It had been about 15yrs before me that other non white kids had been there. They were family friends. It was another 8yrs before another non white student attended and then about 12yrs after me there were more than one non white family and abt 15/16 yrs after me, it’s about 40% non white. There was a kid in Special Ed/ Remedial Classes (it wasn’t called that but I can’t remember what it was called then) that found someone’s differences or weakness if they had it and would use that to try to hurt the person. Luckily I was raised comfortable and confident in my self. I was aware that he didn’t like himself and thus was trying to hurt others. I told the kids this. I told them his words didn’t bother me. I never interacted with him bc that’s what he wanted. I also never told bc he wasn’t worth it. A handful of kids were bothered by it and eventually told. When we had the meeting, the Principal asked why I never said anything and I told them why. Principal and his father were shocked and asked my mom about it. She explained that she didn’t know about it and thus I was likely telling the truth and wasn’t bothered by it. Even tho I knew that most people would consider the language he used with me to be worse than the language he used with others. However, I also knew it all came from the same place. Had he known other words equally as hateful for others then he would have used it. As an adult looking back I still don’t think he was actually racist. I think he hated himself. NOW, I realize that that could eventually become fully hateful to others and that it was likely a good thing that someone told bc his father got him some therapy. He had no clue that his son was TRYING to bully anyone and his father had a mixed brother. They ran a business together. He was so saddened by what his son what saying and asked him how he’d feel if someone was saying that to his uncle or hurt him bc he was black. That was the moment that kids armor broke. What’s my point? I could have easily seen that kid as racist vs self hating and engaged with his antics. I could’ve used that as my jumping off point for thinking all white people were racist and lived my life looking for that. The thing is when you think everyone and everything is racist then you do see it and think others are blind. The white lady got in front of you bc she’s racist NOT bc her kid is sick and she was arguing with her boss thus she was distracted and not paying attention. You didn’t get the promotion bc the boss racist NOT bc the other person is well liked by everyone and is equally qualified to do the job. That co-worker is liked by everyone bc the company is racist NOT bc you don’t engage with other co-workers. You got pulled over bc your black NOT bc you were going 20mph over the speed limit. You were going the flow of traffic so why didn’t the cop pull over someone else? He’s racist NOT he just picked a car at random and it happened to be you. It’s nice to blame other people and systems in place for the lack of progress, success, happiness, health, wealth, anything and everything vs acknowledging MAYBE there’s things that need to change about you. Maybe you could put more effort in, be more polite, recognize that Bob down the street has no power and can’t keep you down
20:57 this answers how FD sees black content creators when they dont center their stuff around black people or issues, who want to branch out and make content that they like. And heaven forbid that some of us have more in common with other races of people than our own. We’re a sellout and a “pick me” in his eyes. Well, quite frankly, FD, I don’t give a fuck what black community thinks of me. I have a life of my own and interests of my own. I should be able to venture and connect with whoever without being told I’m in debt to my community and I should constantly talk about them. I love my people but I’m my own person and I don’t owe them anything because we share the same skin color and I have more success than some.
I was done with FD after hearing him call too many black people coons. He just became a bully in my eyes. That's such an intense thing to call people over and over again, it's so manipulative. Listening to him sounds like listening to a table of highschoolers in the cafeteria, talking about who's cool or not, who's a fake, who's a sellout, etc.
9:33 this shouldn't just be a talk about black women. This should be talking point for every race and gender. Looking presentable changes a person immediate assumption about you for the better.
I just spent over a week going through FD and lil' bill's library, trying to gain a good faith understanding, and then the algorithm lead me to this video. I gotta say what breath of fresh air this was (and funny). Three's obviously a bunch to understand about race dynamics, but it can be done without completely overwriting self so as to be nothing more than an agent for racial grievance.
lmao, when the doc started listing off all of the other classes for his "school," the first thing i said to myself was, " well shit, that sounds an awful lot like white people training."
FD has some good videos and and some batshit crazy yapping videos. Sometimes he'll educate you on the history and culture, but sometimes he'll just shun all opinions that aren't matching with his
i really hate that race is brought up so much. it’s literally the least important trait any person can have. who tf cares if you’re black, white, blue, red, or green? good people judge others based on their CHARACTER! not how they look. it’s embarrassing how people still generalize races!
My personal belief here is that it’s ignorant and uncaring to be unaware or insensitive to the differences between living as a white person vs a black person in America, historically and presently. Just as it would be ignorant to not see the differences in how men and women have been treated, or gay vs straight. The problem is that it’s suddenly become the end all be all. I’ve experienced a surprising amount of misogyny, in my personal life and at work. More than I would’ve imagined. But I think of how much worse it could be and how I still have the ability to succeed and the freedom to seek community that uplifts me and the right to speak my mind. No amount of praying, let alone bitching or blaming is going to change the world for the better. The only thing that can possibly work is being the change you want to see and having enough gratitude in your heart to wear a smile and love people the way you want to be loved and the self respect it takes to focus on self improvement first. That serenity prayer is some good shit, actually. We can be aware of marginalized communities without being whiney babies about it. I think..
People like FDS also refuse to believe colour blindness is a thing, so people who go about their day not giving a shit about race are the worst kinds of people. What he wants is white people saying they are sorry every day and feeling this endless amount of guilt.

The desire to feel understood and to be sympathized with becomes so profound for some people, that they may incorporate their status as a victim into the very fabric of their personality. Legitimate or fabricated, they will define themselves by their perceived trauma. From their perspective, their outward identity is the primary or sole variable by which the world interacts with them as an individual. And if they have been done wrong by the world, they will thus reflexively determine that it was because of their identity. Therefore, their outward identity and their status as a victim become one and the same. One cannot be without the other. This results in an unfortunate paradox. The perpetuation of the institution by which they feel oppressed becomes necessary for the perpetuation of their own identity. If the source of their oppression disappears, so does their status as a victim. If their status as a victim disappears, so does their identity. Without a sense of identity, one may lose their sense of self, of place, of belonging. The world can be a scary, depressing, difficult place, but it's easier to face if you feel like you have people at your back. Even if you have to manipulate them into sympathizing with you. And so, we see "anti-racist" crusaders who inadvertently (or otherwise) begin to repeat racist rhetoric without realizing, or who say ridiculous things that they know will garner a genuinely racist response. All so that they can cash in the next victimhood ticket, the next batch of donations, the next wave of twitter likes, so on and so forth. Depriving someone who defines themselves by their status as a victim of the source of their victimization would be like depriving an addict of the substance they abuse. The addict might claim that they'd do anything to get rid of the substance, when in reality, they're far more concerned with how they're going to get their next fix.

Someone once told me that Americans are their race before being a collective group defined by being "American" and it’s so true. Here in Europe we are all white right? (Not really but that’s another topic) so why don’t we all feel a sense of "europeism"? Because we have other identities first, like being German, English, Spanish, Italian… why doesn’t that happen with the USA? Because even if your parents are from another country, You, you, yes you, you are American, born and raised, culturally American (cannot be anything else because that means you are raised somewhere else). So why differentiate yourself from your neighbors, by physical appearance when you both consume the same water, buy the same foods, enjoy the same culture, and speak the same language? I don’t get it. That’s why I mentioned that here in Europe we are not all white, but everyone is an identity other than their race. Something better and bigger, a shared identity based on culture!
Because most things you said we enjoy together, for the most part, we don't lol there is definitely "Black Culture" and America is a country. Europe is a continent. American culture and Mexican culture are far different from each other just like Italians and Germans are different

The most frustrating part of racial arguments is the way people assume that everyone who shares a skin color is the same person

Funny enough Dave Chapelle has a skit about that, pointing out that any person that doesnt like a chicken has some serious issues.
And Koreans make MAGIC CHICKEN! That is truth, not racism.
chicken is also an easy go to since i don't know any religion that prohibited chicken because it's holy or dirty unlike cows and pigs.
It is probably related to how chicken is cheaper than beef so it is usually considered the poor people's choice, and in places that have a history of ethnic oppression the ethnicity that was oppressed is usually the one considered to be poor by default.
It is a cultural issue that is inherited but has no need to exist because everyone likes chicken.

I really find videos like this refreshing. As a Black person I'm around so many other Black people lamenting the state of their lives and blaming it on some external (white) source. I like to operate with this doctrine when the matter of a rough past or a tough situation in my life comes up "No one is going to help you because no one cares". It recontextualizes your life in a way where you know it's up to you and only you to solve your problems and improve your living conditions. So you don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself while nothing changes.
Yeah, I can understand both viewpoints/approaches, but I also see all too likely problems with both, at least in the long run. Most societies now _try_ to improve the situations of people who start off worse for some reasonor other, but in pretty much all cases, it's a work in progress, _and_ it takes actual generations to take effect. So when someone is _completely_ going with the "I have to do it all myself" mindset, of course they'll have a better chance of actually doing better - but they're also far more likely to be against stuff like government programs to help out people who start off under worse conditions.
On the other hand, when someone relies too much on the help of society, you get the "but my group has been oppressed, so now you all have to feed me through" whiners with their victim mentality...
I'd say a middle ground, leaning more one side or the other depending on how much effort that society is actually putting into equalizing the "starting conditions", is the best way to go, ideally always with the goal of improving the _overall_ situation. But that requires a sense of nuance, something I fear has been "trained out" of far too many people in the USA, and not just becaus eit's French...
@@Wolf-ln1ml well yeah, I think the government is inadequate as a whole, they misuse billions of dollars a year and you and I have little to no power in changing that. Taxes are way too high for incredibly inefficient programs. I digress though, I think the best thing to do is to minimize government interference as much as possible to the point where people voting for policies, programs, tax rates etc for their local area is actually effective. Regardless I don't see the issue with people not wanting to involuntarily have their money go towards programs they don't want them to, it is their money after all. Since what's to stop people that actually do want to facilitate these programs from reaching into their own pockets and doing it with their own money? It's essentially forcing people to support programs that you, yourself (not saying you specifically), find value in when you can support it yourself and with likeminded individuals. I think the nuance of the matter ultimately comes down to voluntarism.
This is a scientifically supported healthier way to view the world - search “internal locus of control research” for more info
@@blues4509 _"Regardless I don't see the issue with people not wanting to involuntarily have their money go towards programs they don't want them to, it is their money after all."_
Well, I do. I don't want any of my money to go into the infrastructure-rebuild in the Aar-valley here in Germany (where that flood was a couple of years ago) for example. But it's going there anyway. In return, people from there certainly aren't happy that their tax money went into strengthening the dams against the North Sea recently - which is what _I_ profited from.
In both cases, if the funds had been held back for something that the people locally wanted them to be used for, neither would have gotten the help they needed *_when they needed it._*
That's of course not a perfect example, I'm sure one could find a way to make it work somehow - but that would certainly require a good bit of additional bureaucracy, which would _also_ be quite a waste of resources.
I could certainly come up with plenty more examples, but I hope my point is getting across with this one already.
There is also another argument: We are a social species. How about you show some social responsibility, maybe even compassion? And I mean for more than just your direct neighbors, but for your entire society?
What makes you believe the average person is as capable as an individual that they can create systemic change by doing what they've never done?
This makes me feel super blessed that my school didn't have much of a race issue because we were all different. But we sure did get treated differently on how much money we had.

As a pasty wHite dude who grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood and went to alright schools, phrases like “white privilege” never crossed my mind throughout my school years until I was on the internet.
Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t living like Kenny from South Park eating pop tarts but there were times where it was pretty bad, there were times where me and my dad were forced to move and live at other people’s house constantly moving from place to place it was bad, and I was lucky to land on my feet.
What I’m saying is, I grew up broke and I grew up broke around other broke kids (like I said it wasn’t like Kenny from South Park bad but there were rough times) I went to school with many different types of kids, black, white, mexican (especially Mexican),Asian, and even Indian.
I also had a lot different types of friends with different races and we would say the most messed up and racist jokes to each other that would get us banned and cancelled immediately. My point is even though we looked different we could bond over the fact that we were broke ass kids with broke ass parents and that kinda brought us together.
People like FD Signifier and Dr Umar (and Noah Samsen) live in this reality where race issues are just as bad as they were half a century ago (and I’m not saying it’s perfect like I said I grew up in the south and I’ve seen actual racist still around), but I feel like especially these days we are more divided by class then we are by race so trying to see everything threw race is unproductive and it only divides us as a country.
PS:it’s funny how both of these two constantly go on advocating for black issues and the struggles that the black community go through are so quick to call anyone who disagrees or criticizes them or even offers well rounded advice for black people an “Uncle Tom” or a “Coon”
The funniest part is that they could actually get more support if they didn't narrow it down to colour.
For example when people say, "Immigrants are just loud, lol, it's our culture."
I just want to tell them that yeah, poor people are loud. Go visit a trailer park.
It's impossible to say if we truly are more divided amongst class than race.
But I will say, it's a lot easier to relate to others through class than race, and that's why the focus should be there. Ivy League blacks and whites with primo education write the rules while people just trying to get by just try to get by.
I mean, you can have your perspective. But my girlfriend went to the south to hang out with her friend. And in a restaurant were being looked at by everyone.
There are even parts of California i can't go to because the kkk are affiliated and mark the territory.
And because I sound white online i have had to bare witness to some of the most heinous shit ever said to other black people in the lobby.
White privilege isn't about money. It's about the way your able to move through the world with ease.
When your black one of the first things you ever get taught is how the police will kill you if you do the wrong thing. That you have to work twice as hard to get an even shake.
We have to get taught this to live safely through the world.
My first racist experience was on new years. Where a cop pulled over my dad for no reason. And actively question who we were and where we were going because we were in a pretty white area for fireworks show.
I agree! I am Indian and I grew up really poor, we didnt even have warm water or electricity a lot of the time. At that time I never got along with my "own" people because a lot of them were quite privileged and rich due to their parents being doctors and engineers. Instead I became best friends with a lot of white people who like me grew up extremely poor. Like you said it was something we bonded over and race never really played that much of a role.

Normally I try to reduce commenting to only when I think of something witty or funny, but genuinely I love your content so much and it single-handedly brings me out of my semi-daily existential dread of the direction our society is going. Thank you thank you thank you
Also with that said, I actually do agree with the point he speaks around 17:18. I was the only black student at school for the majority of my education. Every now and then another would pop up until my Seinor year of HS where a ton of black students started to move in. After graduation I decided to go to an HBCU to sort've get back what I lost so to speak and get a sense of community. I didn't graduate there, and while there were some classes that were very good at teaching me more about myself, no the education wasn't exactly the best, but I wouldn't trade the couple of years I spent there for anything, just because it was there I felt as though I truly found my own identity being surrounded by a bunch of peers that looked just like me. Even though I didn't stay at that school, I still appreciate the time that I spent there because of both how much I learned, and how many people I'd meet that I still talk too until this very day, even after I transferred out.
That guy blaming Cosby's victims is quite the hot take. Very spicy. 🌶
I wouldn't frame it like he did, but there is something to be said for a sober woman consenting to taking a drug from what is effectively a complete stranger.
What are you expecting? It's not Benadryl.
@@OdaSwifteye Cosby still raped them, still victim blaming.
@@OdaSwifteyetruth. It’s unfortunate that telling women simple things like “don’t take random drugs from complete strangers” is seen as victim blaming.
What makes you think they were consenting?
@@Arander92 That's how they described it. Cosby didn't drop the drugs in their drinks when they weren't watching. He gave it to them and they took it.
lemme tell yall, growing up half black and half mexican was tough, but it was more with other black and mexican people, when i was a kid i couldnt fit in with other kids in my neighborhood or at school ( i lived in the ghetto). I dealt with more racism from my mexican side of the family (they accept me now), and black kids seen me as a mexican kid/ Mexican kids seen me as a black kid etc. never dealt with any racial issues with white people up untill BLM and i got them weird ahh white folks that say im self hating because i didnt riot and stuff like that.
Wow
im in the same boat, luckly there is a big population of mixed ppl were i grew up, so i only saw how much of an issue it was for lots a folk, after i left after highschool, it still blows my mind why folk are so die hard one way or the other, the melting pot is why the usa got on top, and we shunning it now like different kinds of ppl will destroy the country, its a bummer
@@chooseyouhandleyeah the whole ‘only white people can be racist’ thing is insane. Worst thing is that it’s usually white people that say that, not anyone else.
You ain't black if you don't burn down a Wendy's in the name of a guy who robbed a pregnant woman and overdosed
@@chooseyouhandleit's so ironic because that's the bigotry of low expectations for themselves and the bigotry of all whites implying they are the only racist.
Oh. I've seen the doctor dude be used in memes. The "I beg your pardon." guy. I thought it was a character. He's actually being serious and that makes me laugh in embarrassment.
It’s hilarious
Naw man I disagree with the point on the 3:00 minute mark. Saying that opportunity being there actually neglects the way in which social mobility has drastically changed for the worst in the us and how capitalism does execerbate these issues such as entrenched economic inequality, exploitation of labor by corporations, detriment and neglect to the environment that fuels climate change by these corporations. You criticse leftist influencers for being polarizinflg and dismissive of other views but (respectfully) you are exhbiting the exact same traits.
Bruh. Have you been to a socialist country?
I’ve seen Barbie dolls in Brazil go for 400 rios a pop.
Those leftest influencers are usually rich kids. Who have hedge fund/ inflation leverage trust funds. They stay rich.
I’m from Canada. Getting out of the hole in a “developed socialist countries is very hard, let alone a developing one.
Ppl don’t know what they don’t know. No hate but I can’t sit and act like socialism is that good. Canadian health care is horrible. We are in big trouble with all the baby boomers retiring. It’s very bad atm. Media wil tell you other wise.

I used to watch FD… and he slowly became insufferable. Umar is just the greatest black Twitter meme ever lived
Me too,i really like his Mike Tyson video but after that he was a lot of words but little meaning. He and La'Ron Redus are insufferable
I heavily dislike Dr.Umar, but sometimes i hear his voice in my mind saying "are you serious my brotha?"

I just discovered you're channel from your terrace howard video and i have a feeling you're going to be one of my favorite channel to watch. Can't wait to see you hit 1 million plus subscribers.
I remember a certain FAMILY cruise line mentioned that they would prefer their guest to stop twerking in public areas. People were saying the policy was targeted towards black people. I couldn't believe my ears.
"Uh, 'mam can you please stop twerking, there are children on deck as this is a family area." "Thats racist!" Nonsensical. 😮
Seeing someone with nuanced takes in this space is so refreshing. Keep up the good work
Its amazing hearing these people make outrageous demands while offering absolutely nothing in return. So basically, under their reasoning, if your ancestors ever suffered an injustice, then society must pay all your bills and you are entitled to bask in luxury forever and ever.
Black fragility.
Well no but you can't really complain when a group of people you made an effort to disenfranchised becomes violent and unrully.
That's on you.
Not even looking at slavery, if you look at the shit that was happening in the 20 century/1900s alone. It is insane how evil those acts were and how many of those people are still alive to this day.
Also economically I'm pretty sure black people are some of the biggest consumers in the market which is why so many things pander to the black markets.
Your acting like the civil rights movement or war on drugs was a long time ago.
A dignified existence and access to better education isn’t the same thing as “luxury”. Nobody is telling black people “not to save their money” - the impetus is “saving money won’t effectively move you from poverty into an advantageous position”.
The structural barriers within the bounds of poverty transcend pockets. Making a half-hour “racially obsessed video” about other’s “racial obsession” doesn’t exclude homie from being racially obsessive.
@@SLATTERDAYBut saving money does do that. Working multiple jobs helped my fiancé go from living on the streets to owning an apartment and being able to afford food. And him being black didn’t get in the way that.

Absolutely WILD to put FD and Hasan in the same category as this dude 😭💀
I just finished his Hasan video, it's really interesting jumping to this one to see how he's tactically posturing himself in the TH-cam space to appeal to certain demographics.
@@Shadeprint I can definitely understand ppl disagreeing with Hasan and FD... But Hasan is a political commentator who's really clear about how he wasn't taking Piers Morgan that seriously bc piers never takes him seriously. And as for FD... Dude has a PhD (outside of dissertation I think) in sociology along with 2 other degrees I believe. He has worked as a teacher for a while and uses his channel to work as a philosopher diving into aspects of culture especially black culture. He is NOT a race reductionist 😂
@@simplybaker. There's a discussion between him and FD, it's very enlightening. FD asks "What have I said that isn't true" and he has no answer. If you don't follow Hasan, it can be easy to trick someone using him out of context, which is exactly what Kahmal does.
FD infantilizes bm along with others. I’ve literally seen him refer to grown men as “boys”
And grown women as “women”
In the same sentence.
Shut up
sounds like he isn't all that different from twitter girls
I theorize that the reason why he’s always using soft phrases towards black men and boys alike is because he’s reaching out to a certain target audience of black men who seek validation and support from what id like to assume “a father figure” or something to that effect.
@@wirsuchendich9364 I have no idea what you’re referring too.
@@easiersaidwithmeg he means that twitter girls infantilize themselves and call dudes men no matter the age
so all in all, y'all do the same thing
King dropped another masterpiece
lol appreciate that
I tried watching a Signifier video like last month or so. It was his spike lee video. The theme of the video was basically "Even if you don't think you're racist, you know you actually are!" Like he made it sound like you need to subconsciously apply like 50 rules in order to have one simple exchange with a black person.
You can tell these people don't travel around very much because most non-racist white people already know how to talk to black people. They just treat them like normal human beings. Having a million special rules for interacting with them means that a person doesn't see them as a fellow peer but as a minefield for social media cancelation.
And they always act as if they know all the answers xD The entitlement and arrogance despite being so dumb are borderline dangerous.
It's a Kafka trap, it's lazy, you can't win with this argument. He's always going to be right, no matter what you're racist and have to listen to him. Even if you're colour blind or very racist, you're the same no matter what you do, you're a villain in his eyes.
You can always disregard someone when they say you've got some undetectable subliminal stuff happening in your brain. If you can't spot it, they can't spot it either.
It's as bad as going around convincing people they're possessed by demons, just so you can charge them for an exorcism. This is a HUGE problem in psychology and sociology circles; people convince themselves they're trained mind readers, doing a service for others, despite how much others strongly disagree.
@@kevintanza6968full blown dangerous imo
As a half white man, you've inspired me to raise my fist and put on a dashiki fr fr oml.
Bro bout to turn into doctor uMar
I was close to subscribing to your channel, but I changed my mind when you came for FD Signifier. FD is very smart very self aware and doesn't always talk about race matters other than to acknowledge racism and white privilege. There is no comparison to Dr. Umar at all. FD is a legit scholar and academician, Umar onlu calls himself one. But speaking out against racism isn't a bad thing. things
Umar is truly the gift that keeps on giving with all the ridiculous things that man has said.
Umar on the DL for White women look like he licked his lips when he said white women.

That’s exactly what I was thinking! I love this guy! The sh!t the come outa his mouth is priceless!!😂😂.
This is why we need more science. Race is a social construct (invented by scientists of the past, I know) but in _modern contemporary_ science there is only 1 race, the human race. Our skin color is the way it is for the purpose of surviving certain climates. I am a Black man. There are men in Sri Lanka who are darker than me, but they're not considered Black, they're considered Brown. Who's blacker Drake or Tiger Woods? The answers are always dumb because the question is dumb.
The Egyptians defined each race clearly thousands of years ago
@@travisramirez7143based on less accurate scientific research. I trust the actual labs and not the slave state
Yeah I totally get what you're saying and where your coming from but there ARE objective, observable differences those scientists used to determine the 3 major races so the didn't arbitrarily create a construct. Besides to answer your question, skin colour wasn't a factor, hence the Sri Lankan maybe darker but bone structure, eye shape, etcetera is what determines the difference.
No one categorized these observal differences out of hate ( though they could be used so).
Either way we are all human and whatever differences there are are accidental qualities and trivial in the grand scheme
@daviddiggens8841 true but we aren't talking about the Caucasian, Negroid and Mongloid. It's the white, black and brown/ yellow thing and that's based on skin color, which barely makes sense. Nobody is black, white or yellow, we are all shades of brown (maybe cream color and pink).
"WHAT ABOUT NASCAR!?"
The funniest part about this is these people dont want to change shit, they just want to be the jackboot. Hell, for many they already all lmao.

@@ToanleighOr even “Give me your money and support and ILL remove the boot for you” which just keeps happening. So gullible
@@dumbbumsc5329Ah, you are more charitable than I am. ;)
I think they will "talk" about what it would be like removed but never promise to do anything.
Where is the school after all?
All talk no action. :(
The point about buying power is actually pretty interesting because it is a classic economics class point that "you cannot take the poor out of a person". The point is that if you do not come from a sociocultural background of financial literacy, it is extremely difficult for your to develop financial wealth. That is why, in a very basic sense, many parts of the world are still poor despite having been at the crossroads of world trade for thousands of years.
Also stating that there is an "African Culture" is equating 1.2 billion to have the same cultures, values and beliefs and ignoring 5k years worth of history. There is no african culture just like there is no asian or european culture.
its weird to call regions like north africa and the middle east "still" poor when they have been some of the richest regions on earth in the past. the reason that that is no longer the case is clearly less to do with the people not reading "the philosophy of money" or whatever weird book kahmal suggests, and more so related to the constant colonisation and war brought by western empires. was an iraqi whose house got bombed too "financially irresponsible" or should the USA maybe not have bombed his house?
The lack of self-accountability is a blinder for many people around the world. We manifest what we think, and we think what we manifest. I appreciate your point of view, not that I agree with everything. But you are showing how all of us are not the same and we have many free thinkers. Blessings to you Kahmal.
Dude it took me a minute, but i really really like your editing. Really smooth, well done. I just watched my first two of your videos, and i thought they were both so well done. Subscribed! Keep it up, man

Kumar is so politics brained that he somehow forgets the countless people who have deep relationships despite the variance in melanin levels
i dont think he forgets i think he actually believes that the only good or moral folk on the planet are ppl in his same race, so he automatically thinks everyone else must think like him, and they only act different so they can scam or control ppl. it shows how bad of a guy he really is, imo
The worse thing about them, or at least for FD, is that if you don't agree, criticize or aren't in the same political party as them you are the "enemy". The whole " if you're not with me, then you're against me has never worked, and only makes people more distant
Nah we just hate liberals.
Just don't point out that without opposition, you don't have democracy. Their brains can't handle simple facts like that. They just see the "evil" ideology of their "enemies" and think the world needs to be rid of it. Or at least that's what their extreme language would have one believe.
Take a look at Russia for what "democracy" without opposition looks like.

"I'm pro-capitalism and pro-racism because you guys are mean" 😭😭😭😭
I am sorry but Pan-Africanism is a notion as ridiculous as Pan-Europeanism, Pan-Asianism, etc.
Because it's acting like everyone on the continent shared the same culture or got along all hunky-dory...when it's very clear that is not the case. Not only that, it lumps all the cultures on a continent as a monolith rather than distinct cultures with shared overlaps. Acting like just cuz' people look like or are even closely related to one another that they are automatically going to get along.
If that was the case, places like The Balkans or The Middle East should be calm and peaceful places.
History has shown that humans always have conflict with one another, there is no peaceful utopia. Ironically the most peaceful utopia we have is the one we are living in today, since American Hedgemony there has been less colonial warfare than there ever has been throughout history.
What is crazy is that you never see a actual AFRICAN BORN dude support that bullshit, because its a american thing, because they think the rest of the world is like the US.
Europeans are all white, they have wage war with each other since forever, French and Brits HATE each other as a culture, Romans called germanic tribes barbarians. They were all unique people with unique cultures, but Americans weirdos think because they share the same amount of melanin suddenly they all get along and have the same culture.
Because thats what it is, Pan-Africanism is just americans having a dumb view of the world, because they think Africa is as big as chicago, that continent has 2000+ ethinic groups with unique cultures, a lot of them fought against each other, sometimes even genociding each other, but to the Dr.Umars wannabes all africans had the same culture, thats why they claim their cultural attires, food and hairstyles, because they dont see it as cultural apropriation because to americans you culture doesnt matter, only your skin color. African Americans dont know where they came from, so instead of just sticking to their own culture they try to leech of Africans, and they really apropiate the fucking cultures lol, because they ignore the rules and customs of the cultures, because a hairstyle or clothing could be reserved for a certain ocassion, religion, ritual or life point, and they misuse the fuck out of those things and claim "its my culture lol".
because imagine how fucking nonsensical it would be for me, a white brazilian dude with Italian heritage to claim French culture as my own and apropiate things from their culture because i am white
That’s because many, if not most, African-Americans have little understanding of Africa other than the Atlantic Slave Trade (and often their facts are wrong about this) and maybe apartheid in South Africa…

I found my new night time channel your voice is so calming its refreshing lol.
Haha I appreciate that
Dad always said, If you want to be seen, Stand Up, If you want to be heard, Speak Up, and if you want to be respected...Shut Up.
I went to a school as the only non white kid. It had been about 15yrs before me that other non white kids had been there. They were family friends. It was another 8yrs before another non white student attended and then about 12yrs after me there were more than one non white family and abt 15/16 yrs after me, it’s about 40% non white.
There was a kid in Special Ed/ Remedial Classes (it wasn’t called that but I can’t remember what it was called then) that found someone’s differences or weakness if they had it and would use that to try to hurt the person. Luckily I was raised comfortable and confident in my self. I was aware that he didn’t like himself and thus was trying to hurt others. I told the kids this. I told them his words didn’t bother me. I never interacted with him bc that’s what he wanted. I also never told bc he wasn’t worth it.
A handful of kids were bothered by it and eventually told. When we had the meeting, the Principal asked why I never said anything and I told them why. Principal and his father were shocked and asked my mom about it. She explained that she didn’t know about it and thus I was likely telling the truth and wasn’t bothered by it. Even tho I knew that most people would consider the language he used with me to be worse than the language he used with others. However, I also knew it all came from the same place. Had he known other words equally as hateful for others then he would have used it.
As an adult looking back I still don’t think he was actually racist. I think he hated himself. NOW, I realize that that could eventually become fully hateful to others and that it was likely a good thing that someone told bc his father got him some therapy. He had no clue that his son was TRYING to bully anyone and his father had a mixed brother. They ran a business together. He was so saddened by what his son what saying and asked him how he’d feel if someone was saying that to his uncle or hurt him bc he was black. That was the moment that kids armor broke.
What’s my point? I could have easily seen that kid as racist vs self hating and engaged with his antics. I could’ve used that as my jumping off point for thinking all white people were racist and lived my life looking for that. The thing is when you think everyone and everything is racist then you do see it and think others are blind. The white lady got in front of you bc she’s racist NOT bc her kid is sick and she was arguing with her boss thus she was distracted and not paying attention. You didn’t get the promotion bc the boss racist NOT bc the other person is well liked by everyone and is equally qualified to do the job. That co-worker is liked by everyone bc the company is racist NOT bc you don’t engage with other co-workers. You got pulled over bc your black NOT bc you were going 20mph over the speed limit. You were going the flow of traffic so why didn’t the cop pull over someone else? He’s racist NOT he just picked a car at random and it happened to be you. It’s nice to blame other people and systems in place for the lack of progress, success, happiness, health, wealth, anything and everything vs acknowledging MAYBE there’s things that need to change about you. Maybe you could put more effort in, be more polite, recognize that Bob down the street has no power and can’t keep you down
I see you passed English class
But I agree tho
20:57 this answers how FD sees black content creators when they dont center their stuff around black people or issues, who want to branch out and make content that they like. And heaven forbid that some of us have more in common with other races of people than our own. We’re a sellout and a “pick me” in his eyes.
Well, quite frankly, FD, I don’t give a fuck what black community thinks of me. I have a life of my own and interests of my own. I should be able to venture and connect with whoever without being told I’m in debt to my community and I should constantly talk about them. I love my people but I’m my own person and I don’t owe them anything because we share the same skin color and I have more success than some.
I was done with FD after hearing him call too many black people coons. He just became a bully in my eyes. That's such an intense thing to call people over and over again, it's so manipulative. Listening to him sounds like listening to a table of highschoolers in the cafeteria, talking about who's cool or not, who's a fake, who's a sellout, etc.
14:15 that jumpscare of one of the funniest videos that exist (in my opinion) is incredible
9:33 this shouldn't just be a talk about black women. This should be talking point for every race and gender. Looking presentable changes a person immediate assumption about you for the better.
I just spent over a week going through FD and lil' bill's library, trying to gain a good faith understanding, and then the algorithm lead me to this video. I gotta say what breath of fresh air this was (and funny).
Three's obviously a bunch to understand about race dynamics, but it can be done without completely overwriting self so as to be nothing more than an agent for racial grievance.
I was here at around 5k or 9k subscribers and i wrote a comment hoping your channel would grow.
Nice to see it worked out :)
Hey I appreciate that. And yeah we’re gettin there
lmao, when the doc started listing off all of the other classes for his "school," the first thing i said to myself was, " well shit, that sounds an awful lot like white people training."
So..he’s pro segregation if he wants to set up a one race only school.
No, "white people training" is the "good ally" course FD is promoting.
yo this channel gonna take off keep up the work bro
FD has some good videos and and some batshit crazy yapping videos.
Sometimes he'll educate you on the history and culture, but sometimes he'll just shun all opinions that aren't matching with his
Umar is just crazy
I laughed out loud at “Snow Bunny Demons”
Give me them demons 😂
i really hate that race is brought up so much. it’s literally the least important trait any person can have. who tf cares if you’re black, white, blue, red, or green? good people judge others based on their CHARACTER! not how they look. it’s embarrassing how people still generalize races!
My personal belief here is that it’s ignorant and uncaring to be unaware or insensitive to the differences between living as a white person vs a black person in America, historically and presently. Just as it would be ignorant to not see the differences in how men and women have been treated, or gay vs straight. The problem is that it’s suddenly become the end all be all. I’ve experienced a surprising amount of misogyny, in my personal life and at work. More than I would’ve imagined. But I think of how much worse it could be and how I still have the ability to succeed and the freedom to seek community that uplifts me and the right to speak my mind. No amount of praying, let alone bitching or blaming is going to change the world for the better. The only thing that can possibly work is being the change you want to see and having enough gratitude in your heart to wear a smile and love people the way you want to be loved and the self respect it takes to focus on self improvement first. That serenity prayer is some good shit, actually. We can be aware of marginalized communities without being whiney babies about it. I think..
People like FDS also refuse to believe colour blindness is a thing, so people who go about their day not giving a shit about race are the worst kinds of people. What he wants is white people saying they are sorry every day and feeling this endless amount of guilt.
@@TheReluctantVloggeryou’re right, it shouldn’t be 100% “i don’t see color”, but man do we as a society put way too much thought and care into some bullshit

It's genuinely sad, having this awkward line drawn and these inflammatory topics injected into everything. Doesn't make me feel very united or tolerated.

Race was made up to be racist
Can we please get rid of it
❤
SING IT AGAIN
The guy said 'financial literacy' in air quotes as if it is a fairy tale, an uncaring enemy that black people should avoid at all costs... yeah... in reality that guy is doing more harm to the black community than good.
Most underrated commentary channel on TH-cam. Keep it up Kahmal
Morgan Freeman said it best: to get rid of racism, we need to stop talking about it. Not that we should ignore the issues, but that we need to stop thinking in terms of race
😂 that's so fucking stupid. Look into how the war on drugs was designed to imprison blacks and hippies
It's actually that simple.
@@kevintanza6968 no its not this country has targeted black people for decades. The way to fix it is not by being silent. Just ask the forefathers they killed over something as little as tax.
Apply that to any other problem and you quickly realise how stupid that quote is.
@@gillmsnfillman1691 thank you
"Sorry to break it to Mr. FD Signifier, but you have way more in common with Noah Samsen than you do with the average black person. You have the exact same political ideology, you both make TH-cam video essays that make me want to self harm, you beef with the same people and you're both incredibly unlikable. You're twinsies." LMAOO, that was savage asf.
"White snow bunny demons!" Im UNALIVED! BORN AGAIN, AND THEN UNALIVED AGAIN! lmaoooooooo Bro you're a comedic GENIUS!
Last year TH-cam slapped me in the face by recommending FDsignifier videos to me about ‘abolishing the police’, and every one of my comments asking for clarification or giving a counter argument was deleted.
What I said was: Policing is a vital component of every society in history. And just cause police in the past policed slaves doesn’t mean 21st century police are the same. Reform NOT abolish.”
There is a decent chance that TH-cam spam filters automatically hide or delete your comment. I'd be willing to say its a higher probability than FD gawking at every individual comment for haters.
I don’t even really think you can reform policing if it’s based on an individual basis rather than a collective most of the time but that’s just my opinion
Dude, I had the same shit happen to me on heelzvsbabyface (white guy crusading against DEI). That’s when I realised they just don’t care. I was agreeing with him and saying that data was the core of the initial understanding of DEI, but weirdos took over the movement. He deleted it twice! (I thought I was tripping the first time I realised it was deleted)
The desire to feel understood and to be sympathized with becomes so profound for some people, that they may incorporate their status as a victim into the very fabric of their personality. Legitimate or fabricated, they will define themselves by their perceived trauma. From their perspective, their outward identity is the primary or sole variable by which the world interacts with them as an individual. And if they have been done wrong by the world, they will thus reflexively determine that it was because of their identity.
Therefore, their outward identity and their status as a victim become one and the same. One cannot be without the other. This results in an unfortunate paradox. The perpetuation of the institution by which they feel oppressed becomes necessary for the perpetuation of their own identity. If the source of their oppression disappears, so does their status as a victim. If their status as a victim disappears, so does their identity. Without a sense of identity, one may lose their sense of self, of place, of belonging. The world can be a scary, depressing, difficult place, but it's easier to face if you feel like you have people at your back. Even if you have to manipulate them into sympathizing with you.
And so, we see "anti-racist" crusaders who inadvertently (or otherwise) begin to repeat racist rhetoric without realizing, or who say ridiculous things that they know will garner a genuinely racist response. All so that they can cash in the next victimhood ticket, the next batch of donations, the next wave of twitter likes, so on and so forth.
Depriving someone who defines themselves by their status as a victim of the source of their victimization would be like depriving an addict of the substance they abuse. The addict might claim that they'd do anything to get rid of the substance, when in reality, they're far more concerned with how they're going to get their next fix.
The transitions between you speaking in the chair and on the bed were crazy clean
Oh hey, Kahmal! 🥰
Saw you on Ruined Leon's channel! 😊 Fun times! 💜💜
Thank you for your eloquence and nuance on topics like this. Not to mention, you're awesome humor! Love this and you! 💜💜
Thank you Candice
Love you too
@@Kahmalwastaken 🥰🥰
@@Kahmalwastaken I have a second comment on this video.. 😁 (which sounds less fangirl-y and more levelheaded.. haha)
Yo man you need to keep doing these long form videos covering popular people or popular and interesting topics. This video, the Drake video, and the Terrence Howard are your best videos. Follow that path and you'll have a million subs, you're uniquely good at it.
13:26 - You ever snorted Listerine out your nose? Well thanks to this statement, I now know how much it burns! 🤣
Black struggles are real but a lot of the problems we face today we could take care of ourselves and a lot of the public advocacy feels like cosplay.
Exactly
new kahmal upload lesgoooo
Someone once told me that Americans are their race before being a collective group defined by being "American" and it’s so true. Here in Europe we are all white right? (Not really but that’s another topic) so why don’t we all feel a sense of "europeism"? Because we have other identities first, like being German, English, Spanish, Italian… why doesn’t that happen with the USA? Because even if your parents are from another country, You, you, yes you, you are American, born and raised, culturally American (cannot be anything else because that means you are raised somewhere else). So why differentiate yourself from your neighbors, by physical appearance when you both consume the same water, buy the same foods, enjoy the same culture, and speak the same language? I don’t get it. That’s why I mentioned that here in Europe we are not all white, but everyone is an identity other than their race. Something better and bigger, a shared identity based on culture!
Because most things you said we enjoy together, for the most part, we don't lol there is definitely "Black Culture" and America is a country. Europe is a continent. American culture and Mexican culture are far different from each other just like Italians and Germans are different
Slavery, Jim Crow, Segregation are just a few reasons why we do this in America 😂 it's not hard to understand
FD has lowkey made it clear that everything he says is just his opinion and his viewpoint on things. FD has literally told us “ I am not your savior” so this video is good criticism but it’s kinda like punching the air if someone has already kinda said “ yea I’m here to make money first and support my family first “
Exactly he’s just giving his view he’s not here to change our perspective on it
The problem is, there's many people takes him so seriously. So this needs to be checked and kahmal is doing it.
@@TingTong2568 I think my original comment was deleted but all I said was that FD has opinions and expresses those opinions he deeply and I mean deeply researches the topics he talks about. I’m sure he tries to be unbiased but it slips through. I think yall are punching the air looking for an enemy that isn’t even an enemy. The internet is not a reflection of reality! Please go out and experience the world !
24:17 I would've told him "I once gave pocket change to a homeless man, who happened to be black". I wonder how Umar would've reacted.
It's true, being poor, and marginalized is a problem majority of the African-American community faces.
And I agree that ultimately, as individuals, we must take responsibility for our reality since no one else will.
I always wondered why y'all think that somebody else will take of your problems or your life for you. It's just the weirdest attitude ever as a community. Nobody gives af about anybody else's problems.
Because it's nice to think that the people that messed you up in the first place, might help you clean it up a bit.
Not saying I think that way, just the quickest way to explain what it is. As a mixed race black man who identifies as black to make it quick if someone asked, 70% black 30% european, I try and call it the way it is.
Especially when modern day whites say that they regret slavery or don't agree with it. Black people feel like, okay, so do you want to help us out a bit? Then white folks will say well.. not really. And it puts the bad taste in black people's mouths so to speak.
@@DamienHanmaWhy would they bother helping you? If they did, you'd just turn around and call them colonizers and racists, anyway. There is no point in helping your enemies.
@@gfys756 well you don't know what I personally would do cuz you don't know me. I choose to believe, what you're trying to say is, most black Americans would call them colonizers and ect.
@@gfys756. Exactly, or call them white saviors.
