Im a black kid who grew up in one of the more wealthy communities in America. I never wanted to fit those black stereotypes of thug life but I still did my fair share of stupid stuff. If not for my dad correcting me and putting the fear of God in me, idk how I would’ve turned out. Dads are very much needed and I can see how my life turned out compared to many of my friends who did not have their dad around. And I can say regardless of race not having a dad around will mess u up.
It's normal for kids for kids from all walks of life to do silly stuff as it's mostly our peers who influence us - hell I'm a middle class white man and some of the things I did when I was younger would always result in my parents coming down on me. I can look back at laugh at it now because I know my parents were right. Problem is this generation doesn't have both parents in the picture and discipline is no longer being used to correct the thuggish behavior.
True that. I am white and all my friends that had broken households were always the ones that were getting in trouble and never amounted to anything. It's not about skin color, it's a fact of human nature. We have evolved to have the family, extended family, and community for good reason.
It may not be always possible in every case. But it really would make all the difference if we returned proper value to preservation of the nuclear family.
@@MommaOsoIrish67 I agree with you on this. I'm old and while it wasn't a perfect world back then, most peoples standard of living was pretty good. Having 2 parents meant mom was at home and dad was the bread winner and those couples were able to buy a house and live on 1 income. In destroying the nuclear family (which was deliberate) they took that from us as a people.
Everyone was a slave if you go back far enough. Its a point made only for victimization. If you yourself were not a slave or never even knew a single slave, you have nothing to do with it. You were as much a slave as I am.
sure. Cuz it doesn't move the narrative of those in charge. It was called indentured servitude. You'd work for a white family, being white yourself. For 7 years from bringing people to the new world. As soon as the 7 years are up. The person would accuse the servant of stealing. The punishment would be 7 more years or jail
don't need permission in the real world. be yourself first. strength and honour. your name is the only thing you truly own, protect it even from yourself. just a thought.
Over a million taken by Arabs. Not to mention the Roman empire. They also had serfs which was essentially slavery. If he wants to play this game, I guess I should be going back over a thousand years and asking the descendants of Vikings for reparations.
Yes, . Gangster Rap was promoted way more by the music industry than more positive hip hop. . Glorifying the criminal lifestyle, and polluting the minds of a whole generation of inner city youth.
@@joge2468 No, just the absolute reality. Rap music, for instance, where first almost entirely a genre founded for political and social protest, but after being taken through the machine of MTV and Hellyweird today entirely known for promoting gangsta lifestyle. Why do you not even see that?
Retired inner city school teacher here.My school and the other schools in the area were extremely well funded.The main problem is lack of parental support.
We have a similar issue in the city I live in - we are 80% single parents, this year we do have a good group of involved parents and communication from the school. We are slowly making changes however changes start at home. School also can't change an entire societies way of thinking and doing. Our school and other schools have blurred lines over the years where the school has done more of the parents job and I personally think that's an issue. Which I understand how that can happen with the demands of supporting and maintaining a home as a single parent and trying to keep up with everything going on at school -( it can be difficult to juggle both but not giving excuses) Our family is also different from other families we have strong religious practices and beliefs that don't fit in with society norms - like our children learning sex ed from school, we don't allow that, we teach our children so we can instill the values of a strong bond in marriage vs casual relationships like society. It would be nice to see an entire society reboot of bringing back good habits, and good changes but I probably won't be around to see that perhaps in time change will happen if our youth adopts the ways away from current society.
It's also just nature. They're NOT, nor ever will be, on the same level as yt students. So sick of people pretending there aren't CLEAR differences between us and how SICK people are getting from pandering to these inferiors.
Say it louder for the people in the back! We went from parents who made us responsible for our school work, and they were there when we needed help. I see so many parents who now put all the responsibilities on the school system, and the parents get upset when their child isn't doing well. There's no accountability at home for what the parents are not doing.
@@stephenthomas1492Did I read your comment correctly, did you say whites and blacks are inherently, intellectually different? If that is what you said, are you completely lacking in common senses or blatently ignorant on the subject?
Your right, and whether you choose to accept the government’s hand in marriage instead of staying with the father of the child, or finding the child another father is a choice most of these people must make, but it is still a choice.
A father working a normal full time job brings in more money than the food stamps benefit ,government health care , and section 8 combined so no thats not true.
To tell the truth is really hard not to be a R word nowadays... Like really hard. They only complain, play victim and whine. it's was funny at the beggining but when you repeat the same joke over and over for years it gets annoying.
Having a father is so important. A good father will teach his children to respect him and they, in turn, learn to respect the law. The line “Wait till your father gets home” really meant something.
I wonder what these black mother's say. They can't use the 'police will arrest you and put you in jail' or ' wait until dad gets home'. These kids have no fear of consequence.
I heard a statistic from one of these national mega churches that they found among in-tact nuclear families if a father doesn't attend church but the mother does, the children are 85% less likely to regularly go, opposed to if the father goes and the mother does not. The father's natural role is that of a protector, provider, and moral leadership of the family.
True But… if dad is working till past their bedtime, or Working away from home… it’s hard to discipline after the fact sometimes.. depending on how long till dad get home😂 I as mom was the one not to mess with😂 I am a hard azz… if they got in trouble or didn’t listen.. The consequences were ASAP.. Both of my son’s are well behaved, respectful, hardworking, are a contribution to society, not into drugs and never in trouble with the law.. They knew at a young age that if they got arrested they will stay behind bars for their actions.. Their father didn’t have to discipline them much because I had it under control.. He worked many hours per day.. sometimes worked away from home for weeks at a time.. He worked to provide for us, so I had to do what I did to make sure my son’s were going to be good men. But I agree having a father is sooo important.
5minutes of talking and listening to Charlie and this man probably learnt more than he did in school . God bless Charlie and people like him who are willing to educate people and untwist the rubbish in our youths heads . We need more people like him to fix this world full of contradictions and media induced brainwashing .
It's important women choose better men and if they're going to just sleep with every person, they need to be on BC or insist on a condom. Period. The women pick the man, the man decides if it's long term or not and he'll base it on how he's treated and respected.
Guy in the purple said theres no black fathers because theyre being locked up, then later says he would choose funding over fathers in the home because fathers being in the home isnt part of the culture. 😒
I have been saying this since the start of BLM it has nothing to do with skin color, it’s the their culture that has to change. Violence is celebrated and is normal. Single mother household with multiple kids by different dads is normal. The government started giving them money for each kid and they just went with it.
The culture issue is not just the breakdown of the nuclear family. There was a special on NPR regarding young black kids who pursued good grades, did their homework and were studious. They were ridiculed and persecuted by their peers. Black persons who try to speak good English are also hassled by other blacks. The whole culture needs to change if the cycle is to be broken.
@@donnahames6553probably jealous. I've heard this too. Nobody can get good grades without some ignorant people accusing them of "trying to go White". As if wanting to get a good education to get a good paying job is not a universal thing.
The sad reality is the black community glorify the gangster life. As Ice Cube says "life ain't nothin' but girls and money". I really wish the paradigm would shift. As much as I had issues with my father, I still thank him because I had a stable childhood back then.
I do appreciate that Charlie approaches the debate in a respectful manner, often acknowledging that it's okay that they don't agree. It really puts the focus on the conversation itself and the exchange of thoughts and ideas. Bottom line... Let's have the conversation. Let's find a base point where we can agree. And, "let's raise the point of expectations." For each other.. for us all.
Bravo young man. You're using your brain. Keep trying. My husband and I are rarities in our culture, married 4ever...45 yrs. And everyday I was up cooking dinner with my son doing homework. After we reviewed it, we had dinner. My husband was often home but i worked 3rd for 19 years and WE made it work. It wasn't a fairytale but it was life.
I have so much respect for you! I truly thought I’d be married forever and make it work no matter what, but unfortunately my ex didn’t have the same dedication and discarded me once our children were raised.
I think that the guy in purple is going to mull this conversation over in his head, and some of the points Charlie made will stick. This is how we need to have conversations. We need to allow the other person to feel comfortable enough to say things like “I don’t know” or “You have a point”. We have to stop being so defensive of our own opinion enough to consider others. I give both of them props for keeping it civil.
I can see that as a part of the problem. The culture of misogyny, drugs, thugs, gangs and violence is the bigger problem, I think. These cultural values are celebrated in rap and hip hop music as worthy goals to aspire to. If you don't think young men are influenced by the music they listen to, then you need to educate yourself. There is a reason this started once the music censors lost their hold on entertainment (and was exacerbated by welfare at the same time) and has affected the black community more and faster. They were the ones consuming this first and more often. Now every community is consuming this hateful music and they are ALL deteriorating.
And with the individuals that recognize they are being given an opportunity to be educated. There are plenty of young people, even in difficult households that respect the school system, try, reach and make it.
schools aren't responsible for making kids WANT to learn. which is why I am against public schooling now. people only REALLY appreciate something when they don't have it.
I'm glad your video came up in my feed today because I discovered I had indeed not subscribed already like I thought. I quickly remedied that situation however and am now one of your newest followers! There are dozens (or more) podcasts whose main content is reacting to current issues but something about yours sets you apart for me. Your voice and accent are lovely and always make me smile. Your reactions are genuine and you are very relatable. Bottom line is I just really enjoy your videos and I thank you for all the hard work it takes to bring them to us. May 2025 bring you and yours much success, happiness, peace, and health. And may God shine His glorious countenance down upon us all as we begin a new administration in Washington. May the intolerant ones who claim nothing but "inclusion" and "love" yet demonstrate the polar opposite behaviors gain the ability to actually see the error of their ways and find what it truly means to accept all people as they are. And may God bless and protect President Trump, VP Vance and their families. May your everlasting grace keep them safe from all enemies- known and unknown. Amen
There is MOUNTAINS of evidence that they're inferior and we're just supposed to ignore it while they constantly create problems for decent people. HIGH PAST TIME we stopped pretending and organized a resistance. We owe these people NOTHING and our children will thank us for the prosperity they'll live in without THESE people.
That is a part of the problem...but don't excuse away the decision of the father to not be involved in his child's life...but hey some don't want to point a finger at themselves lol
That guy was contradicting himself every 10 seconds 😂 too many black people love playing the victim so their situation won’t change anytime soon despite US and UK governments giving them an undeserved step up in education and jobs
I don't understand how people don't make the correlation, if you give the community more money they have even less reason to stay together. Throwing money at this has only made the issue worse and makes sense why.
the cordial homie got applause!!...That is great!! I applaud the folks that applauded the mic!!! no real BOOOOS or general heckling!! Homie was NOT yer average whining dem!! More like a fella looking to LEARN!!!
Anyone that gets up to that mic to attempt to debate Charlie takes MASSIVE amounts of courage. To do it and show you're nervous take a much or more courage, in my opinion. Charlie is a pro. I like the fact that Charlie tells him it's OK to be nervous, points out where they agree and the differences, and thanks him for coming up to talk. There needs to be more respectful open conversation and I think this a good example of how to.
A father figure of some sort. Not all dads are great but someone who cares for the child. I agree 1000 percent, dads would make a hell of a difference in a child’s life
Yep, most of what Charlie said went right over his head. And not because he's stupid, but because he didn't want to hear it. It goes against his programming. But maybe....maybe some of it will take root.
Charlie always has very well thought out arguments and facts, and stick to the facts using some great metaphors. These young kids need to do way more research and not try to grasp on the past and keep a chip on their shoulder.
The democrats are NEVER at fault it's ALWAYS someone else's fault …I'm a 53 year grown black women and my life is in Gods hands and mine period,no one else I'm not a victim nor have I ever been ENOUGH 🤷🏾♀️🇺🇸💋
Fatherlessness, especially in black culture, truly breaks my heart... such a wonderful, strong culture...brought and kept in this lowered living...it hurts me deeply...the pain and confusion from it all..loss of purpose and meaning from the lack of the presence and love of a father who stays...it must change.
Thank you for hearing him out and responding thoughtfully, young man. From my perspective, the thing being missed here is speaking about dads as if they are an element to be added. You are the dad's that will either break or continue this cycle. When young black men place value upon properly raising their children with the mother of, in the same home, above having money, cars, drinks in the club, side chicks, being hard or real, this cycle will end. It's that simple
Yep,it is true that more fathers are needed in their kids lives. My own father was not a part of my life,and I had to learn how to deal with and overcome that as a person,and yet,looking back as an adult,I feel that I turned out okay. Myself,and my two sisters all graduated high school(they both graduated college). So it can be done. I feel like many of our young people buy too much into what the biased media is telling and are not seeking out truth or common sense on their own. I just came across your channel today. Keep up the good work.
The lack of Fathers in the home happens, because Daddy doesn't want to stick around. The other reason, Mothers will get rid of a Good Father, so she can make money off the Government, then find another man and do the same thing. While saying all men are trash, entrapment is her game. Her kids pick up the culture from mom and missing dad is normalized. Girls copy mom and the cycle repeats. In the End, the Children suffer most.
Mothers get rid of good fathers simply because they feel like it sometimes. Women tend to make decisions based on feelings and this leads to families falling a part for no reason sometimes or simply because she feels the grass is greener somewhere else.
Yo 70% of black kids without dads around is actually legit terrible, and why every politician is not talking about this daily, shows how they truly do not care.
Why do they need the government to fix a personal problem? Adults make choices, black males choose to abandon their children. Free will exists so how do you expect the government to fix this? A captive breeding program?
I'm hard of hearing but just stumbled onto your channel. I'm American so your accent is a little tough to understand but I really like your content and political position. Keep up the good work!
@@melissahelen88 Not sure why you felt the need to post that reply but being born deaf in one ear and only having about 60% hearing in the other makes things challenging. I have to play a lot of stuff with closed captioning. Thanks for your sensitivity though, way to be a good person.
@@letslego9914 i don't know why you felt the need to comment about your nationality being the reason you can't understand him. you being hard of hearing wasn't your main point originally.. that's what i found dumb. like you've described, you utilize closed captioning and hearing aids and all that jazz, so you should be able to interpret his words just fine. you were implying his accent is difficult to understand, and it's really not.
Good fathers set and uphold a standard for what kind of men their sons need to be. Good fathers also set and uphold a standard of man their daughters should want to be with.
The fundamental issue here is that you can’t look to external communities to fix the cultural internal issues of another community. If the problem is within your community or your culture, you have to take personal responsibility within that community as a whole and choose to fix it. Pointing blame to external boogie men doesn’t resolve the problem.
well how do whites destroy the black family then ask why is it destroyed . While I do agree it doesn't solve the problem. The federal government saying that white supremacy gangs have infiltrated the police force ,black Americans are complaining about and whites saying back the blue and you whine too much doesn't solve anything either
Also the slaving that goes on now, with SS & Fed Reserve & IRS. It has nothing to do with skin color. US borrows currency (dollars) from an international bank (the federal reserve), and owes it back with interest. The debt can never get paid off because it has to get paid in US Dollars, and The US always has less dollars than it owes. This never-ending work-debt falls upon the social security employees who typically hand over a third of their earnings. 100% of IRS-collected revenue goes toward paying on the interest for past loans. It goes to the international bankers, not to fund public services. (see the Grace Commission Report) Just a scam. Modern slavery system, and it's lawful because each individual voluntarily complies whether they understand it or not, but it's a scam. And nothing to do with skin color.
People don't want to take responsibility for what's happening in their own communities. Until they do and start making changes absolutely nothing will change.
Who's responsible for the fathers staying with the baby mommas? The fathers and the mothers. The children have no say in the matter. Of you're going to participate in creating a child, stand by that child. As a father or as a mother. Hold the unit together. That's the child's best chance. The idea that families are broken because fathers are actively criminals only underlines women's poor choices in the men they conceive children with.
@markmooroolbark252 I'm a father. I never ditched my child. His mom couldn't run away fast enough. When I got custody, she vanished into thin air. Never contacted him, never offered him any support at all. She just used him as leverage to pay her own way. Lied to her family, friends, neighbors and the courts. Not really disappointed. My son is a good man. Cares about his community and does his best to lead.
I think that the Hip Hop/club/prison/gangster culture needs to be utterly rejected by anyone concerned about all this. It just seems to perpetuate it all. It's terrible to see. Who needs gangsters when what is needed IS fathers and stability? BLM is foul.
I always laugh when I hear people say 'schools need more funding'. The highest funded schools, being those 'inner city' districts, which also have the highest number of Black students, have continually begged for more and more money. they get more and the conditions continue to get worse. It's not funding that's needed, but a change in culture. The highest number of drop outs are those same Black students, as education is actually discouraged by their own communities. The push for athletics or entertainment industry are the driving life styles, and education just doesn't seem to be seen as the best means to break out of those self-imposed restrictions to remain among the lowest educated and 'poor'. That started changing when the 2-parent household began changing. Between tying funding to the number of bodies shuffled through those failed school systems, and the incentive to be single parent households, resulted in less parental involvement to stress education and basic conduct, as well as encourage those running the failed systems to continually 'justify' the need for more money to improve. On the contrary, there are more schools that provide drastically higher educated students, higher graduation rates with meeting or exceeding standardized levels, with significantly less funding. Those schools tend to have much lower numbers of Black students, but those who do attend also do far greater than their 'inner city' counterparts. That's due to the community and cultural differences that emphasize education as being a key step in raising one's status and ability to succeed in life.
Right. The black men I have talked to will tell you straight away that if they talk proper English, their black mates will ostracize them for, "putting on airs, talking white" so they talk Ebonics. They say that studying and doing well in school will get you bullied and even invite violence. For whatever reason, black men hate white people so much that they are willing to do anything to avoid, "acting white" which includes getting an education or being smart.
Half black. I was born in Brooklyn and went to school there and south Bronx in the 80’s and I was poor. I must be a unicorn because I am doing very well. Btw raised by my mother because my dad died when I was 7 years old. Stop the fricking excuses! The victim mentality is mind boggling
This is a great explanation …. Analysis on social norms and trends ….. but let’s not forget the church morality and its decline and what effect that is having on the downfall of the family
All by design. The protestant church was infiltrated by the Jesuits. Former Jesuit Alberto Rivera said that a sign was coming that would be seen by Jesuits worldwide. The sign would indicate that the ecumenical movement had successfully defeated Protestantism. The sign itself was to be the first time a U.S. President was sworn into office while facing an obelisk. In 1981, for the first time in history, the Presidential swearing-in ceremony was moved to the West-front of the Capital. Reagan was sworn into office while facing the Washington Monument, which is shaped as an obelisk. The world is indeed a stage. Much more so than I expected.
I agree. I don't agree with any of the religions, but I liked what it did for communities and families. Does that make sense? * Except Islam. Don't need to threaten people with death if they leave your religion.
What I really like about this is that Charlie, though well informed and researched, uses the phrase, "in my opinion". That really isolates the whole conversation to just the two of them, while informing the crowd.
Black single father from Detroit. I do have a child who is almost an adult. I divorced his mother & i raise him full time. I remarried years later & didn't have any kids & she divorced me. It nearly killed me. We was what i thought was a good couple. Income was high, love & support. I agree we don't value staying through hard times. We value cutting ppl off for boundaries, red flags, social acceptance, thinking the best has yet to come, options etc. I've made many mistakes but I don't give up. We want social media relationships.... those are not real. Your spouse will be the best & worst person in your life.
I stayed with my son's mother. I am from a broken home, with alcoholism mixed with mental illness, which was coupled with domestic violence, and I dropped out of high school. I don't believe education has much to do with the issue. It seems more along the lines of lack of morals and pride.
And they just opened one in the heart of downtown Oakland …and black women are the only people I see running through the doors …what happened to us as women 🤦🏾♀️🇺🇸
I rememeber as a freshman in highschool I went home with a red bandana to my parents and my dad checked me immediately. Didnt think gangs were cool anymore 😂😂😂
He's a conservative political commentator/activist. He often does debates like this, mostly on college campuses. He's also the CEO of the Turning Point Action non-profit.
The best thing that works in society to get people to change is shame as a Christian man I have experienced and understand this from God‘s mouth to my heart
It’s funny how my parents went to a one room school house in Ireland and neither one of them stayed behind the age of 13 since they had to work never went into a life of crime?
I'm Irish. My grandparents had to choose which kid could go to school from a family of 7. One kid got to go to school. The rest had to work. The real issue here is that fundamentally people are liars. We are programmed to lie. Constantly, we lie to ourselves every single day. Oh I can't go to the gym because my back is bad today. Oh I can't get a promotion because someone dislikes me at work. So the real issue here is that the people who have the power to do something do whatever they can to help themselves because they need to. The people who put them their think they are helping them but they are not. What truly needs to happen is people need to come together and do something that helps each other with the actions that go to helping each other. People are coming to 'rich' countries expecting to just get given everything they didn't have in their own country but the vast majority of people are just scrapping by. They get put into this system of just scrapping by and it's no better than their own country but feel like they should be wealthier. The fact is though that you abandoned your own country and brought with you the same ideology that made that country bad. Inaction, but now it's also compounded by having nothing in the bank to deal with the massive cost of living in the wealthy country and also you feel like the country itself is not worth investing in because you will leave to return home soon once you are rich. But that never happens. We have a massive problem now in that National pride and housekeeping is down. Who wants to clean-up a country they are leaving soon? Who would clean a house that they don't own? Who will invest in a country they are not from? Also the worst thing of all is the country left behind is still doing the things that make it a terrible place to live in.
charlie kirk is like the only person besides keanu reeves that i would be ecstatic to meet. he is a fighter. he would be doing the same thing no matter what time period, race, or sex he was. he has such a good soul and outlook on how humanity should be. i hope he runs one day because MANY of us will vote for him with confidence
Someone yells from the back “they’re separate issues” when Mr Kirk is comparing BLM riots to lack of father’s in the home. I agree with Mr. Kirk. When fathers are part of a child’s life they bring to the table so much more than just financial stability. A Dad models how to be a provider, a family man, whose life is filled with love by being surrounded by his children. In turn the father is providing safely and sense of belonging. When the father is missing from the equation, the child seeks connection to outside forces. BLM just used the youth, giving them a sense of belonging, something to fight for and by participating in mayhem. It further degrades their neighborhoods.
I am very educated, and I will NOT get married. I will NOT create a family. And again, I am EXTREMELY educated on politics in America. Let that sink in.
It’s an experience as a black person to hear a “ supporter” say, black kids don’t have fathers because the fathers leave and nothing can make them stay.” These people can shove their “ support”. They’ve obviously never met a happy black family. I want that for every black child. That should be their wish too.
Look at a Native American reservation and tell me that money is the solution. Keep in mind that these people get exclusive financial entitlements, they elect their own law enforcement, and their neighborhoods have some of the highest levels of poverty, drugs and alcoholism. This is not because of their ethnicity, it’s because that’s what happens when you throw money at problems.
I was born in the USA 🇺🇸 and I was raised in Mexico. We returned to the USA when I was 8/9 years old. Not speaking a word of English and the first thing I noticed was how ridiculous the black culture was. I was boys wearing $100 pants $100 shoes in the 90s and they all lived in a low income and most didn’t have fathers, smoked weed and were extremely rude.
In order to get government Welfare benefits you can't have an able bodied man living in the home. There's no incentive to work or family values if government is involved.
Most have a man living with them on the down low while the taxpayers cover their rent and utilities through section 8 and federal programs like Liheap. No incentive to work when its all free.
This line of arguments makes me mad. Put all of the responsibility on men. What about the high promiscuous women how, on many cases, not even know who the father is.
While I see and respect your point, may I say as a man. . .you know if your sleeping with a hoe and you know if you might have, could have, maybe did, impregnate a hoe. That said, you also know as a man that the child you helped produce needs you and you don't get to say, as a man, "well, mom's a hoe".
that's another problem but talking in general fathers absence is the main issue, as latinos we're having the same struggle because we adopted the black american culture more than any other, with music, sports, clothing, etc... men leaving home, hustling, sell drugs, get money no matter how and more.
There are some public schools in Chicago predominantly black, that get between 30 and 50K per student we’re 70% of them can’t read or do math at grade level. This is also happening in Baltimore how much money do they need?
Charlie's right about the culture here in America, it's not just Chicago it's nearly every major city in America at this point. when violence and money are celebrated in every single song they all listen to and make, bragging about bodies and killing ops, it becomes a big problem with the youth who have no family to properly raise them and teach them to behave. these kids spend more time with their friends in school and then hanging out in the neighborhood until late at night than they do at home, their families arent involved in their kids lives, they're hanging out with all the older kids and grown men who dropped out, got into gang life and these kids get raised by that instead of their families at home. it's sad.
I live next to Alameda County in the California Bay Area. The DA election is coming up and both the candidates are competing on how much leniency they'll show to people of certain ethnicities. Businesses and people are flocking out of Oakland and San Francisco because of the crime and their solution is to just start letting even more criminals go without punishment. Arrested then back on the street in an hour with $0 bond then the charges get dropped later.
Charlie is missing a big component. Nowadays, it is far more common that the women are choosing to be single moms than having that choice made "for" them. And in many cases... perhaps MOST... the men either don't know they are the father or they have reason to doubt their paternity because the "mother" wouldn't keep her legs closed.
Im white here. Dad was a real bad drug addict when I was roughly 12-19. He died right before I turned 18. A MASSIVE time for a son to have his father around to ask questions and learn what it takes to be a man in today’s society. I’ve been able to tangibly feel his absence and the effect it’s had on my life as a young man. Even now at 27 I can’t help but think of all the better choices I’d have made or different routes I’d have taken if I just had a father figure to talk to.
You can tell he grew up around some white people. He’s more open minded, can have a respectful conversation and carry’s himself more humble. Most people react to your attitude not skin color.
I recommend to checkout european serfdom. Which was declining in the 15th century but still ongoing and interestingly enough a bit later we got the slave trade. I kind of find this interesting: First we had european serfdom which heavily exploited common europeans. Then that started to decline in the 15th century but was still on going. And in the 16th century the slave trade began. The slave trade started to decline in the 18th century and 19th century. The industrial revolution started in the 18th century and started the exploitation of europeans again. Then that declines in the 19th century to early 20th century, and from here we got the outsourcing of exploitation to other places (excluding colonies).
for a white boy who grew out of a trailer park i have had a fairly well life. yes pretty rough bumps and slopes bringing me down somewhat. im not going to get into details but my father was divorced by my mother when i was 7 and grew up living with my mom and im not sure if either one would of been better but they did teach me quite a bit of things to be a man and good respectful person in life. but man i never graduated nor have i made very successful decisions
Im a black kid who grew up in one of the more wealthy communities in America. I never wanted to fit those black stereotypes of thug life but I still did my fair share of stupid stuff. If not for my dad correcting me and putting the fear of God in me, idk how I would’ve turned out. Dads are very much needed and I can see how my life turned out compared to many of my friends who did not have their dad around. And I can say regardless of race not having a dad around will mess u up.
It's normal for kids for kids from all walks of life to do silly stuff as it's mostly our peers who influence us - hell I'm a middle class white man and some of the things I did when I was younger would always result in my parents coming down on me. I can look back at laugh at it now because I know my parents were right. Problem is this generation doesn't have both parents in the picture and discipline is no longer being used to correct the thuggish behavior.
100% true! And I believe it's been a (quiet) governmental push to remove fathers from the home - and not just from black families.
True that. I am white and all my friends that had broken households were always the ones that were getting in trouble and never amounted to anything. It's not about skin color, it's a fact of human nature. We have evolved to have the family, extended family, and community for good reason.
It may not be always possible in every case. But it really would make all the difference if we returned proper value to preservation of the nuclear family.
@@MommaOsoIrish67 I agree with you on this. I'm old and while it wasn't a perfect world back then, most peoples standard of living was pretty good. Having 2 parents meant mom was at home and dad was the bread winner and those couples were able to buy a house and live on 1 income. In destroying the nuclear family (which was deliberate) they took that from us as a people.
Charlie Kirk showed infinite patience towards this kid. Well done sir!👏🏼😎🇺🇸
Also....there were white slaves and we aren't even allowed to speak a single word about it
Everyone was a slave if you go back far enough. Its a point made only for victimization. If you yourself were not a slave or never even knew a single slave, you have nothing to do with it. You were as much a slave as I am.
sure. Cuz it doesn't move the narrative of those in charge. It was called indentured servitude. You'd work for a white family, being white yourself. For 7 years from bringing people to the new world. As soon as the 7 years are up. The person would accuse the servant of stealing. The punishment would be 7 more years or jail
don't need permission in the real world. be yourself first. strength and honour. your name is the only thing you truly own, protect it even from yourself. just a thought.
Over a million taken by Arabs. Not to mention the Roman empire. They also had serfs which was essentially slavery. If he wants to play this game, I guess I should be going back over a thousand years and asking the descendants of Vikings for reparations.
Germans were brought to the US and sold as slaves.
Hollywood and the Music industry did a number on our youth. SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Huh? Sounds like more victimhood.
Yes, . Gangster Rap was promoted way more by the music industry than more positive hip hop. . Glorifying the criminal lifestyle, and polluting the minds of a whole generation of inner city youth.
And communists/neo-Marxists.
@@joge2468 No, just the absolute reality. Rap music, for instance, where first almost entirely a genre founded for political and social protest, but after being taken through the machine of MTV and Hellyweird today entirely known for promoting gangsta lifestyle. Why do you not even see that?
@1corinthians15.1-4kjv Poor, poor rappers. Good G-d man, take some responsibility.
Retired inner city school teacher here.My school and the other schools in the area were extremely well funded.The main problem is lack of parental support.
We have a similar issue in the city I live in - we are 80% single parents, this year we do have a good group of involved parents and communication from the school.
We are slowly making changes however changes start at home. School also can't change an entire societies way of thinking and doing.
Our school and other schools have blurred lines over the years where the school has done more of the parents job and I personally think that's an issue. Which I understand how that can happen with the demands of supporting and maintaining a home as a single parent and trying to keep up with everything going on at school -( it can be difficult to juggle both but not giving excuses)
Our family is also different from other families we have strong religious practices and beliefs that don't fit in with society norms - like our children learning sex ed from school, we don't allow that, we teach our children so we can instill the values of a strong bond in marriage vs casual relationships like society.
It would be nice to see an entire society reboot of bringing back good habits, and good changes but I probably won't be around to see that perhaps in time change will happen if our youth adopts the ways away from current society.
It's also just nature. They're NOT, nor ever will be, on the same level as yt students. So sick of people pretending there aren't CLEAR differences between us and how SICK people are getting from pandering to these inferiors.
Say it louder for the people in the back! We went from parents who made us responsible for our school work, and they were there when we needed help. I see so many parents who now put all the responsibilities on the school system, and the parents get upset when their child isn't doing well. There's no accountability at home for what the parents are not doing.
@@stephenthomas1492Did I read your comment correctly, did you say whites and blacks are inherently, intellectually different? If that is what you said, are you completely lacking in common senses or blatently ignorant on the subject?
Kids should be taught respect at home. By the time school comes around they should know and understand the word no
There is an incentive to have woman break up the family and marry the government.
This this and this.
Your right, and whether you choose to accept the government’s hand in marriage instead of staying with the father of the child, or finding the child another father is a choice most of these people must make, but it is still a choice.
A father working a normal full time job brings in more money than the food stamps benefit ,government health care , and section 8 combined so no thats not true.

To tell the truth is really hard not to be a R word

it's was funny at the beggining but when you repeat the same joke over and over for years it gets annoying.
They would just loot whatever was done. There is zero help unless they help the,selves.
It bought mansions in WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS!
Instead, BLM uses these young adults to further destroy their own neighbor.
It wouldn't make a difference. People are stuck in their ways.
Ending up in prison is leaving. By your actions you chose to go to prison
Having a father is so important. A good father will teach his children to respect him and they, in turn, learn to respect the law. The line “Wait till your father gets home” really meant something.
Maybe the twit in the video is still waiting...
Yes it did til I was married and gone 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇺🇸💋
I wonder what these black mother's say. They can't use the 'police will arrest you and put you in jail' or ' wait until dad gets home'. These kids have no fear of consequence.
I heard a statistic from one of these national mega churches that they found among in-tact nuclear families if a father doesn't attend church but the mother does, the children are 85% less likely to regularly go, opposed to if the father goes and the mother does not. The father's natural role is that of a protector, provider, and moral leadership of the family.
True
But… if dad is working till past their bedtime, or
Working away from home… it’s hard to discipline after the fact sometimes.. depending on how long till dad get home😂
I as mom was the one not to mess with😂 I am a hard azz… if they got in trouble or didn’t listen.. The consequences were ASAP..
Both of my son’s are well behaved, respectful, hardworking, are a contribution to society, not into drugs and never in trouble with the law.. They knew at a young age that if they got arrested they will stay behind bars for their actions..
Their father didn’t have to discipline them much because I had it under control.. He worked many hours per day.. sometimes worked away from home for weeks at a time.. He worked to provide for us, so I had to do what I did to make sure my son’s were going to be good men. But I agree having a father is sooo important.
5minutes of talking and listening to Charlie and this man probably learnt more than he did in school . God bless Charlie and people like him who are willing to educate people and untwist the rubbish in our youths heads . We need more people like him to fix this world full of contradictions and media induced brainwashing .
Kids NEED GOOD fathers so bad. It's so important.
Indeed, unfortunately parental alienation isn't taken seriously
It was never an excident@@whatsawigwag2590
It's important women choose better men and if they're going to just sleep with every person, they need to be on BC or insist on a condom. Period. The women pick the man, the man decides if it's long term or not and he'll base it on how he's treated and respected.
Good should be in all caps too. A shitty father isn’t necessarily better than no father at all.
The problem is that their mothers don't deserve a decent husband.
As a black man, if my father wasnt in my life who knows where id be and what i wouldev gotten myself into. Fathers are DEFINITELY needed.
Rip Dad 🌹.
Guy in the purple said theres no black fathers because theyre being locked up, then later says he would choose funding over fathers in the home because fathers being in the home isnt part of the culture. 😒
yeah...what the crap was that nonsense - I hope it was just him being flustered
@@redknight801 no, it was his genetics. A tiger can't change its stripes. Just look at him. The lights are on, but nobody is home.
@dennyb6768 He didn't seem to take a single thing away from that conversation. The chip on his shoulder is there to stay.
@ that's a sad truth lots of leftist liberal people can't understand. That chip will always be there. Once you see it you can't unsee it.
Circular logic.
I think this young man learned something here. Even if he won't admit it yet. That's the goal.❤
I have been saying this since the start of BLM it has nothing to do with skin color, it’s the their culture that has to change. Violence is celebrated and is normal. Single mother household with multiple kids by different dads is normal. The government started giving them money for each kid and they just went with it.
The culture issue is not just the breakdown of the nuclear family. There was a special on NPR regarding young black kids who pursued good grades, did their homework and were studious. They were ridiculed and persecuted by their peers. Black persons who try to speak good English are also hassled by other blacks. The whole culture needs to change if the cycle is to be broken.
@@donnahames6553probably jealous. I've heard this too. Nobody can get good grades without some ignorant people accusing them of "trying to go White". As if wanting to get a good education to get a good paying job is not a universal thing.
What is their culture
@@melissazeches5858 Gang gang money money shoot shoot, sleep with ur wife and flee the scene, that's basically their culture
The sad reality is the black community glorify the gangster life. As Ice Cube says "life ain't nothin' but girls and money". I really wish the paradigm would shift. As much as I had issues with my father, I still thank him because I had a stable childhood back then.
Thank you Charlie for educating us on this topic,
including myself.
I do appreciate that Charlie approaches the debate in a respectful manner, often acknowledging that it's okay that they don't agree. It really puts the focus on the conversation itself and the exchange of thoughts and ideas. Bottom line... Let's have the conversation. Let's find a base point where we can agree. And, "let's raise the point of expectations." For each other.. for us all.
Bravo young man. You're using your brain. Keep trying. My husband and I are rarities in our culture, married 4ever...45 yrs. And everyday I was up cooking dinner with my son doing homework. After we reviewed it, we had dinner. My husband was often home but i worked 3rd for 19 years and WE made it work. It wasn't a fairytale but it was life.
I have so much respect for you! I truly thought I’d be married forever and make it work no matter what, but unfortunately my ex didn’t have the same dedication and discarded me once our children were raised.
@@dananuspl618 I hope you found your new best life 💔💜
I think that the guy in purple is going to mull this conversation over in his head, and some of the points Charlie made will stick. This is how we need to have conversations. We need to allow the other person to feel comfortable enough to say things like “I don’t know” or “You have a point”. We have to stop being so defensive of our own opinion enough to consider others. I give both of them props for keeping it civil.
I don't need to watch this vid to know Charlie Kirk is 100% right.
Except when he said 1/2 is 15% lol
I think that lack of education is partially correct but education begins in the home.
I can see that as a part of the problem. The culture of misogyny, drugs, thugs, gangs and violence is the bigger problem, I think. These cultural values are celebrated in rap and hip hop music as worthy goals to aspire to. If you don't think young men are influenced by the music they listen to, then you need to educate yourself.
There is a reason this started once the music censors lost their hold on entertainment (and was exacerbated by welfare at the same time) and has affected the black community more and faster. They were the ones consuming this first and more often. Now every community is consuming this hateful music and they are ALL deteriorating.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇺🇸💋everything begins in our home
Monkey sees monkey do
And with the individuals that recognize they are being given an opportunity to be educated. There are plenty of young people, even in difficult households that respect the school system, try, reach and make it.
schools aren't responsible for making kids WANT to learn. which is why I am against public schooling now. people only REALLY appreciate something when they don't have it.
I'm glad your video came up in my feed today because I discovered I had indeed not subscribed already like I thought. I quickly remedied that situation however and am now one of your newest followers!
There are dozens (or more) podcasts whose main content is reacting to current issues but something about yours sets you apart for me. Your voice and accent are lovely and always make me smile. Your reactions are genuine and you are very relatable. Bottom line is I just really enjoy your videos and I thank you for all the hard work it takes to bring them to us.
May 2025 bring you and yours much success, happiness, peace, and health.
And may God shine His glorious countenance down upon us all as we begin a new administration in Washington. May the intolerant ones who claim nothing but "inclusion" and "love" yet demonstrate the polar opposite behaviors gain the ability to actually see the error of their ways and find what it truly means to accept all people as they are. And may God bless and protect President Trump, VP Vance and their families. May your everlasting grace keep them safe from all enemies- known and unknown. Amen
That culture kicks itself. Especially in Chicago. Don’t hate on troof.
There is MOUNTAINS of evidence that they're inferior and we're just supposed to ignore it while they constantly create problems for decent people. HIGH PAST TIME we stopped pretending and organized a resistance. We owe these people NOTHING and our children will thank us for the prosperity they'll live in without THESE people.
What happens in Chicago you guys understand literally.8 percent of black men commit murder right that's the actual fact😂😂😂😂😂
The search for victimhood is a lifelong project.
And they are happy to spend a lifetime doing it.

He literally does all the time@@markmooroolbark252
I think is a child or immigrants like how do whites destroy the black family then ask why it's destroyed
That is a part of the problem...but don't excuse away the decision of the father to not be involved in his child's life...but hey some don't want to point a finger at themselves lol

Thank you for covering this vitally important social issue. We must also improve our choices in partners by improving ourselves.
I don't understand how people don't make the correlation, if you give the community more money they have even less reason to stay together. Throwing money at this has only made the issue worse and makes sense why.

If people REALLY wanna help, quit giving democrats power to do ANYTHING.
Anyone that gets up to that mic to attempt to debate Charlie takes MASSIVE amounts of courage. To do it and show you're nervous take a much or more courage, in my opinion. Charlie is a pro. I like the fact that Charlie tells him it's OK to be nervous, points out where they agree and the differences, and thanks him for coming up to talk. There needs to be more respectful open conversation and I think this a good example of how to.
Great to see a respectable debate on such a difficult and emotive topic

A father figure of some sort. Not all dads are great but someone who cares for the child.
I agree 1000 percent, dads would make a hell of a difference in a child’s life
Yep, most of what Charlie said went right over his head. And not because he's stupid, but because he didn't want to hear it. It goes against his programming. But maybe....maybe some of it will take root.
That "only 1 in 4 black kids have a dad around" can even apply under the same roof, the same household... let that sink in.
That’s overall in inner city neighborhoods it’s like 95%. I grew up in a hood there were like 4 of us that had married parents.
You are so right! Bring the black fathers back!!!
well how do whites destroy the black family then ask why is it destroyed
You cant have generational wealth without a generational family to support you if that makes sense.
Soon ignorance will not be bliss, it will be blistering💯 thank you for sharing🙏🏼
Charlie always has very well thought out arguments and facts, and stick to the facts using some great metaphors. These young kids need to do way more research and not try to grasp on the past and keep a chip on their shoulder.

"pleae don't feed the wildlife, it creates a population dependent on handouts from humans" that sign doesn't only apply to forest preserves and parks.
Fatherlessness, especially in black culture, truly breaks my heart... such a wonderful, strong culture...brought and kept in this lowered living...it hurts me deeply...the pain and confusion from it all..loss of purpose and meaning from the lack of the presence and love of a father who stays...it must change.
if they had fathers in the home, they would have funding AND education. Doesn't a man provide if he sticks around with his family???
Thank you for hearing him out and responding thoughtfully, young man. From my perspective, the thing being missed here is speaking about dads as if they are an element to be added. You are the dad's that will either break or continue this cycle. When young black men place value upon properly raising their children with the mother of, in the same home, above having money, cars, drinks in the club, side chicks, being hard or real, this cycle will end. It's that simple

I really appreciate Charlie helping people see what the problems are and possible solutions.
Yep,it is true that more fathers are needed in their kids lives. My own father was not a part of my life,and I had to learn how to deal with and overcome that as a person,and yet,looking back as an adult,I feel that I turned out okay. Myself,and my two sisters all graduated high school(they both graduated college). So it can be done. I feel like many of our young people buy too much into what the biased media is telling and are not seeking out truth or common sense on their own. I just came across your channel today. Keep up the good work.
The lack of Fathers in the home happens, because Daddy doesn't want to stick around.
The other reason, Mothers will get rid of a Good Father, so she can make money off the Government, then find another man and do the same thing. While saying all men are trash, entrapment is her game.
Her kids pick up the culture from mom and missing dad is normalized.
Girls copy mom and the cycle repeats.
In the End, the Children suffer most.
Mothers get rid of good fathers simply because they feel like it sometimes. Women tend to make decisions based on feelings and this leads to families falling a part for no reason sometimes or simply because she feels the grass is greener somewhere else.
Yo 70% of black kids without dads around is actually legit terrible, and why every politician is not talking about this daily, shows how they truly do not care.
They can’t speak up on it or they’ll be deemed racist.
Especially if they’re white.
Because according to Marxists it's totally OK to raise kids "communally"
Why do they need the government to fix a personal problem? Adults make choices, black males choose to abandon their children. Free will exists so how do you expect the government to fix this? A captive breeding program?
I'm hard of hearing but just stumbled onto your channel. I'm American so your accent is a little tough to understand but I really like your content and political position. Keep up the good work!

There has to be a change of attitudes about fatherhood, family and relationships before anything can change.
Good fathers set and uphold a standard for what kind of men their sons need to be. Good fathers also set and uphold a standard of man their daughters should want to be with.
The fundamental issue here is that you can’t look to external communities to fix the cultural internal issues of another community. If the problem is within your community or your culture, you have to take personal responsibility within that community as a whole and choose to fix it.
Pointing blame to external boogie men doesn’t resolve the problem.
well how do whites destroy the black family then ask why is it destroyed . While I do agree it doesn't solve the problem. The federal government saying that white supremacy gangs have infiltrated the police force ,black Americans are complaining about and whites saying back the blue and you whine too much doesn't solve anything either
Also the slaving that goes on now, with SS & Fed Reserve & IRS. It has nothing to do with skin color.
US borrows currency (dollars) from an international bank (the federal reserve), and owes it back with interest. The debt can never get paid off because it has to get paid in US Dollars, and The US always has less dollars than it owes. This never-ending work-debt falls upon the social security employees who typically hand over a third of their earnings.
100% of IRS-collected revenue goes toward paying on the interest for past loans. It goes to the international bankers, not to fund public services. (see the Grace Commission Report)
Just a scam. Modern slavery system, and it's lawful because each individual voluntarily complies whether they understand it or not, but it's a scam. And nothing to do with skin color.
Dude between the end of slavery and the first world war black people were doing extremely well and had made huge progress.
Its all pre and post LBJ. So pre and post 1963-1964. The Great Society program and welfare killed the black family and therefore the black community.
People don't want to take responsibility for what's happening in their own communities. Until they do and start making changes absolutely nothing will change.
Who's responsible for the fathers staying with the baby mommas? The fathers and the mothers. The children have no say in the matter. Of you're going to participate in creating a child, stand by that child. As a father or as a mother. Hold the unit together. That's the child's best chance.
The idea that families are broken because fathers are actively criminals only underlines women's poor choices in the men they conceive children with.
Charlie won't mention that as it derails his endless father bashing rant.
@markmooroolbark252 I'm a father. I never ditched my child. His mom couldn't run away fast enough. When I got custody, she vanished into thin air. Never contacted him, never offered him any support at all. She just used him as leverage to pay her own way. Lied to her family, friends, neighbors and the courts.
Not really disappointed. My son is a good man. Cares about his community and does his best to lead.
@ Good man. He's better off without her in his life.
I think that the Hip Hop/club/prison/gangster culture needs to be utterly rejected by anyone concerned about all this. It just seems to perpetuate it all. It's terrible to see. Who needs gangsters when what is needed IS fathers and stability? BLM is foul.
I always laugh when I hear people say 'schools need more funding'. The highest funded schools, being those 'inner city' districts, which also have the highest number of Black students, have continually begged for more and more money. they get more and the conditions continue to get worse. It's not funding that's needed, but a change in culture. The highest number of drop outs are those same Black students, as education is actually discouraged by their own communities. The push for athletics or entertainment industry are the driving life styles, and education just doesn't seem to be seen as the best means to break out of those self-imposed restrictions to remain among the lowest educated and 'poor'. That started changing when the 2-parent household began changing.
Between tying funding to the number of bodies shuffled through those failed school systems, and the incentive to be single parent households, resulted in less parental involvement to stress education and basic conduct, as well as encourage those running the failed systems to continually 'justify' the need for more money to improve. On the contrary, there are more schools that provide drastically higher educated students, higher graduation rates with meeting or exceeding standardized levels, with significantly less funding. Those schools tend to have much lower numbers of Black students, but those who do attend also do far greater than their 'inner city' counterparts. That's due to the community and cultural differences that emphasize education as being a key step in raising one's status and ability to succeed in life.
Right. The black men I have talked to will tell you straight away that if they talk proper English, their black mates will ostracize them for, "putting on airs, talking white" so they talk Ebonics. They say that studying and doing well in school will get you bullied and even invite violence.
For whatever reason, black men hate white people so much that they are willing to do anything to avoid, "acting white" which includes getting an education or being smart.
There is more rich Black people in America than any country in the world 😅
Half black. I was born in Brooklyn and went to school there and south Bronx in the 80’s and I was poor. I must be a unicorn because I am doing very well. Btw raised by my mother because my dad died when I was 7 years old. Stop the fricking excuses! The victim mentality is mind boggling
you were born under a good star though..
OMG Is this generation capable of formulating a statement, without the word "Like" 😡 🙄
This is a great explanation …. Analysis on social norms and trends ….. but let’s not forget the church morality and its decline and what effect that is having on the downfall of the family
All by design. The protestant church was infiltrated by the Jesuits. Former Jesuit Alberto Rivera said that a sign was coming that would be seen by Jesuits worldwide. The sign would indicate that the ecumenical movement had successfully defeated Protestantism. The sign itself was to be the first time a U.S. President was sworn into office while facing an obelisk. In 1981, for the first time in history, the Presidential swearing-in ceremony was moved to the West-front of the Capital. Reagan was sworn into office while facing the Washington Monument, which is shaped as an obelisk. The world is indeed a stage. Much more so than I expected.
Exactly!👍

Black single father from Detroit.
I do have a child who is almost an adult.
I divorced his mother & i raise him full time.
I remarried years later & didn't have any kids & she divorced me. It nearly killed me. We was what i thought was a good couple. Income was high, love & support.
I agree we don't value staying through hard times. We value cutting ppl off for boundaries, red flags, social acceptance, thinking the best has yet to come, options etc.
I've made many mistakes but I don't give up.
We want social media relationships.... those are not real. Your spouse will be the best & worst person in your life.
One paragraph is one big red flag my man
I stayed with my son's mother. I am from a broken home, with alcoholism mixed with mental illness, which was coupled with domestic violence, and I dropped out of high school. I don't believe education has much to do with the issue. It seems more along the lines of lack of morals and pride.

@@ladyk7317Avoiding bm responsibility 😂. You'll keep talking in circles for another 100 years.
I rememeber as a freshman in highschool I went home with a red bandana to my parents and my dad checked me immediately. Didnt think gangs were cool anymore 😂😂😂
I'm not even sure exactly who Charlie is, somehow happened upon this video, but he was very gracious with this young man.
He's a conservative political commentator/activist. He often does debates like this, mostly on college campuses.
He's also the CEO of the Turning Point Action non-profit.
@Divide_et_lmpera I see, thanks for the info!
He is a very well-informed guy with excellent communication skills ( Charlie Kirk ) @crowmedicine3890
The best thing that works in society to get people to change is shame as a Christian man I have experienced and understand this from God‘s mouth to my heart
It’s funny how my parents went to a one room school house in Ireland and neither one of them stayed behind the age of 13 since they had to work never went into a life of crime?
I'm Irish. My grandparents had to choose which kid could go to school from a family of 7. One kid got to go to school. The rest had to work.
The real issue here is that fundamentally people are liars. We are programmed to lie. Constantly, we lie to ourselves every single day. Oh I can't go to the gym because my back is bad today. Oh I can't get a promotion because someone dislikes me at work. So the real issue here is that the people who have the power to do something do whatever they can to help themselves because they need to. The people who put them their think they are helping them but they are not.
What truly needs to happen is people need to come together and do something that helps each other with the actions that go to helping each other. People are coming to 'rich' countries expecting to just get given everything they didn't have in their own country but the vast majority of people are just scrapping by. They get put into this system of just scrapping by and it's no better than their own country but feel like they should be wealthier. The fact is though that you abandoned your own country and brought with you the same ideology that made that country bad. Inaction, but now it's also compounded by having nothing in the bank to deal with the massive cost of living in the wealthy country and also you feel like the country itself is not worth investing in because you will leave to return home soon once you are rich. But that never happens.
We have a massive problem now in that National pride and housekeeping is down. Who wants to clean-up a country they are leaving soon? Who would clean a house that they don't own? Who will invest in a country they are not from? Also the worst thing of all is the country left behind is still doing the things that make it a terrible place to live in.
charlie kirk is like the only person besides keanu reeves that i would be ecstatic to meet. he is a fighter. he would be doing the same thing no matter what time period, race, or sex he was. he has such a good soul and outlook on how humanity should be. i hope he runs one day because MANY of us will vote for him with confidence
Someone yells from the back “they’re separate issues” when Mr Kirk is comparing BLM riots to lack of father’s in the home. I agree with Mr. Kirk. When fathers are part of a child’s life they bring to the table so much more than just financial stability. A Dad models how to be a provider, a family man, whose life is filled with love by being surrounded by his children. In turn the father is providing safely and sense of belonging.
When the father is missing from the equation, the child seeks connection to outside forces. BLM just used the youth, giving them a sense of belonging, something to fight for and by participating in mayhem. It further degrades their neighborhoods.
well how do whites destroy the black family then ask why is it destroyed
Really great how Charlie encouraged his “opponent” helped him articulate his point and debated him with respect, without making him feel foolish.
I am very educated, and I will NOT get married. I will NOT create a family. And again, I am EXTREMELY educated on politics in America. Let that sink in.
A real man goes to work, helps his family, makes sure that everyone in his family is doing well and doesn't run away when things get difficult.
Also, this kid speaks like someone with both parents. Had he grown up without a dad, he wouldn’t say the things he said.
It’s an experience as a black person to hear a “ supporter” say, black kids don’t have fathers because the fathers leave and nothing can make them stay.” These people can shove their “ support”. They’ve obviously never met a happy black family. I want that for every black child. That should be their wish too.
Look at a Native American reservation and tell me that money is the solution. Keep in mind that these people get exclusive financial entitlements, they elect their own law enforcement, and their neighborhoods have some of the highest levels of poverty, drugs and alcoholism. This is not because of their ethnicity, it’s because that’s what happens when you throw money at problems.
I was born in the USA 🇺🇸 and I was raised in Mexico. We returned to the USA when I was 8/9 years old. Not speaking a word of English and the first thing I noticed was how ridiculous the black culture was. I was boys wearing $100 pants $100 shoes in the 90s and they all lived in a low income and most didn’t have fathers, smoked weed and were extremely rude.
In order to get government Welfare benefits you can't have an able bodied man living in the home. There's no incentive to work or family values if government is involved.
Most have a man living with them on the down low while the taxpayers cover their rent and utilities through section 8 and federal programs like Liheap. No incentive to work when its all free.
This line of arguments makes me mad. Put all of the responsibility on men. What about the high promiscuous women how, on many cases, not even know who the father is.
While I see and respect your point, may I say as a man. . .you know if your sleeping with a hoe and you know if you might have, could have, maybe did, impregnate a hoe. That said, you also know as a man that the child you helped produce needs you and you don't get to say, as a man, "well, mom's a hoe".
that's another problem but talking in general fathers absence is the main issue, as latinos we're having the same struggle because we adopted the black american culture more than any other, with music, sports, clothing, etc... men leaving home, hustling, sell drugs, get money no matter how and more.
There are some public schools in Chicago predominantly black, that get between 30 and 50K per student we’re 70% of them can’t read or do math at grade level. This is also happening in Baltimore how much money do they need?
They DON'T need more money because they always waste it, trash what's new etc. 🇬🇧🇬🇩🇳🇬 I choose to avoid contact as much as possible.
Charlie's right about the culture here in America, it's not just Chicago it's nearly every major city in America at this point. when violence and money are celebrated in every single song they all listen to and make, bragging about bodies and killing ops, it becomes a big problem with the youth who have no family to properly raise them and teach them to behave. these kids spend more time with their friends in school and then hanging out in the neighborhood until late at night than they do at home, their families arent involved in their kids lives, they're hanging out with all the older kids and grown men who dropped out, got into gang life and these kids get raised by that instead of their families at home. it's sad.
It's hard to get someone to see the truth when they're trained so well to believe lies.
well how do whites destroy the black family then ask why is it destroyed
yup.
As soon as he realized he lost the argument he tried accusing Charlie of not being civil!
I live next to Alameda County in the California Bay Area. The DA election is coming up and both the candidates are competing on how much leniency they'll show to people of certain ethnicities. Businesses and people are flocking out of Oakland and San Francisco because of the crime and their solution is to just start letting even more criminals go without punishment. Arrested then back on the street in an hour with $0 bond then the charges get dropped later.
Charlie is missing a big component. Nowadays, it is far more common that the women are choosing to be single moms than having that choice made "for" them.
And in many cases... perhaps MOST... the men either don't know they are the father or they have reason to doubt their paternity because the "mother" wouldn't keep her legs closed.
Im white here. Dad was a real bad drug addict when I was roughly 12-19. He died right before I turned 18. A MASSIVE time for a son to have his father around to ask questions and learn what it takes to be a man in today’s society. I’ve been able to tangibly feel his absence and the effect it’s had on my life as a young man. Even now at 27 I can’t help but think of all the better choices I’d have made or different routes I’d have taken if I just had a father figure to talk to.
Very nice conversation!
What also wild about this culture is that there is a “no snitching” policy. Imagine the rate of people that would be arrested for these crimes.
You can tell he grew up around some white people. He’s more open minded, can have a respectful conversation and carry’s himself more humble. Most people react to your attitude not skin color.
I recommend to checkout european serfdom. Which was declining in the 15th century but still ongoing and interestingly enough a bit later we got the slave trade.
I kind of find this interesting:
First we had european serfdom which heavily exploited common europeans. Then that started to decline in the 15th century but was still on going. And in the 16th century the slave trade began. The slave trade started to decline in the 18th century and 19th century.
The industrial revolution started in the 18th century and started the exploitation of europeans again. Then that declines in the 19th century to early 20th century, and from here we got the outsourcing of exploitation to other places (excluding colonies).
for a white boy who grew out of a trailer park i have had a fairly well life. yes pretty rough bumps and slopes bringing me down somewhat. im not going to get into details but my father was divorced by my mother when i was 7 and grew up living with my mom and im not sure if either one would of been better but they did teach me quite a bit of things to be a man and good respectful person in life. but man i never graduated nor have i made very successful decisions
that guy was pretty respectful and was able to follow the conversation. It looks like he can learn.
