I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world because they'd never expect it. -Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey
I’m a straight white male living with 6 roommates who are all either gay, bi, POC, non-binary, and I’ve observed first-hand what he talks about here. I went to a bar with them after the Pride parade and one of them said to me “no worries, you can just be gender fluid for the night,” as if being a cis man just wasn’t okay. I cheekily told her “how about I just be who I am instead,” and didn’t get the impression it was appreciated. The “non-binary” roommate (who has never presented herself as anything other than what I’ve always thought was a woman) does a lot of dating, and she has never once dated a white guy since I’ve known her, despite us living in a predominantly white city. Given the way that her and her friends talk about white people (especially white men) I’m not surprised. I manage not to let their attitudes demoralize me, but sometimes just barely. Holding my head high and being okay with who I am doesn’t seem like it should take so much effort.
My gf is in her 20s, I'm in my early 40s. Most of her friends downright hate white people. I hung out with them once, never again. I realize they don't represent all younger folks but I won't be around them. Seems like there is a huge overcorrect of sorts? I dunno...
hang in there buddy, you keep being you and dont ever give up on that! Growing up in the 80s, my friends and i never even noticed race or sexual orientation, we had quite a few gay/lesbians in our community, even in 87'.

The concept of "race" has really backfired on all humanity. We must remember, there was MORE time in human evolution whereby "race" was irrelevant. As log as race is a classification system, we will forever have these problems.
Are all birds the same? Are all bears the same? Are all fish the same? How can all humans be the same? Is blindingly obvious humans are different races. No one is better than any other, but to say "race" doesnt exist is being willfully ignorant of reality.
@@SwampFeet678 actually it’s not. “Race” is a social construction. The difference in our appearance is based upon the geographical location of our ancestors.
@@doctorj7112 , so are we different species then? Much like a Polar Bear compared to a Black Bear. Yes, they can interbreed and spawn offspring, but they are not the same species. The word 'race' may be a social construct to easily explain our differences without going so far as to say we are different species.
What the fuck are you talkin about?! This is the problem right here. People with reaffirmed beliefs, who don’t know anything about the evolution of culture over human history. For forever, tribalism, prejudice and racism is what has helped each respective group survive. That’s for all of human history up until the last few hundred years. This isn’t goddamn Lord of the Rings.
I don’t understand how people don’t see that judging an entire group, especially for a hereditary trait, is text book racism. But even if they don’t see that, how do they not see that taking this adversarial view guarantees a bigger fight? There will be kids today who grow up seeing this and will react against it in equal and opposite degree. It’s such a bad strategy. There is no solution to this by creating greater division.
Racism is a religion in a way ... it's put into your head at such a young age you don't know any better and you believe it to be a way of life if that makes sense even with proof that it is bad it wouldn't change a dam thing ...
@MrLife "oh yeah you are not a racist eh? we change the definition of racist you are racist now" "oh yeah you think there only two genders?Well we changed the definition of gender there are 72 genders now" Then they get mad when we call them communists.
The solution is simple. We experience life as individuals, lets determine what we think of each other based on our individual personalities rather than what group we’ve been associated with.
this is the goal. lets hope we can get past all the bullshit and childish arguing, and instead actually learn and listen to each other and have productive discussions. i think we will then realize we are more alike than different, and that we actually all want the same thing and share the same goal. then just maybe we will get there.
My favorite corporate white guilt moment was after the George Floyd riots when my the hospital I work for, which used to ban tobacco use and used pre-employment nicotine tests, put out a memo saying something to the effect of "in the wake of the George Floyd tragedy, we have come to understand that our tobacco policy discriminates against minority opportunities for employment. We deeply apologize, and from this point forward tobacco use will not exclude anyone from employment. This does not apply to medical marijuana." I think they picked the wrong plant, myself.
The problem I find when talking to people about this. Like my cousin . Why should I feel bad or guilty just because I’m white? I 100% agree. That is a perfectly legitimate point of view.. The issue arises when your a person who also doesn’t acknowledge that black people have historically have had it harder in this country. It will not kill you or ruin your life to acknowledge something so simple . Something that is fact.
@@dnyhan he wouldn't disagree, but he named the book "war on white people" knowing full well his audience (the far right and some moderately right) go out of their way to whitesplain societal racism, "...while black" experiences, police misconduct, etc... that's the problem here.
The entire point is that it doesn't matter. Plenty of people of all races have had horrible experiences and horrible things done to them by others. That shouldn't impact how you treat someone today that has no ties to any of that. People should treat the past as just that....the past.
@@starlite369 residuals of the past exist in the present. Black communities have progressed greatly but there is an obvious disparity in the probability of success for a black person vs a white person. The residuals of an apartheid system and slavery have not yet disapated.
There are places where women live without any violent men around them. Those places are called women's penitentiaries and they are some of the most violent places a woman could ever find herself. In the absence of men, women form their own hierarchy's where the toughest and most violent women rule over the weaker ones. Human nature is such that the strong will always try to rule the weak. Women are no exception to this.
So your argument is that if we take the most violent women in society, lock them in cages and deny them their freedom they'll act like more like men? Men don't live in convents either and I wouldn't say the average convent is a cesspool of violence.
ty for saying this so i did not have to. i would also add that women are not as prone to violence as men so the women who are prone to violence have an easier time taking over their fellow womenfolk
@@starlite369 cause they're usually the ones who instigate it and will also tend to snap quicker than a man would in response to someone antagonising them
Now you know what it feels like. To be scared to be stopped by police. To feel like you’re targeted and oppressed. Feel like you can get hanged by looking at a girl of another race. White people shouldn’t feel guilty, but they need to open their eyes and realize that white European Americans have used the white skin color to rule over other humans
Boo fucking hoo. What a victim you are. In 1998 a black man outside my rural Texas hometown was chained to a truck and drug to death by racist whites. Be real. Look up jasper texas lynching.
As a indigenous man. Why don't we except, and understand our history. I would say recognize our past. We, you, us where understandably not physically there. I do hope we can understand we can change it together. To argue over our past, is just talking. By actively learning each other's perspectives, and work together to find a solution, is actions. No actions means no change. No actions to change means you are compliant, and okay with the current narrative. Let's use first principles. Let's figure out the root of the problem , putting our egos aside, finding a solution , with discernment, logic, and understanding we are all humans in this together. With love, have a great day.
Dude, I'm an indigenous man too. A white European indigenous man with 800 years of written family history in the heart of Europe, but probably way longer than that. We've always been here. It's so weird following the US political shit show, because from over here it's an entirely different situation, and it's a hassle how it invades European politics. Where I live we have also been subject to invasion and domination, from the Romans all the way to Napoléon and "we" narrowly escaped Hitler where I live. It is what it is. History is brutal, the strong prey on the weak. And no one alive today is guilty for past infractions. All peoples have that exact same history to some degree, although on a different time line.
Several years ago I met one of the whitest people ever. He had nice hair, nice teeth, handsome smile of a model, tall, manager, good golf player, fluent in Spanish and Portuguese - MF was Brazilian I found out. Any intelligent person who just read that should get my point.
How to start this... I am 43 and gay. I am stating this right away because I think in this context it can help to prevent to get some prejudice being an LGBT+ hater or whatever. Nowadays you cannot be critical anymore, especially if you are a "god forbid" straight white male. I think the main problem is that this generation is so extremely focused on getting attention and wanting to stand out and is not willing to see that a behavior like that doesn't make them in any way different from being exactly what they claim to be that everybody else is if they don't share the same opinion. This whole forced diversity topic is really getting out of hand, no matter if it is about gender, sexuality, feminism, religion, or skin color. There are just a lot of unhappy people that trying to find for everything that doesn't work out for them to blame everything and everybody else and trying to find a way to attack just to make themselves feel better and not have to reflect on themselves because in their mind there are already perfect anyway. "How can some company not hire me, sure because I am gay or a person of color or whatever" please don't get me wrong I don't want to say that there can't be instances where this might not still be the case and its good to know then where you can get support but most of the times this is just used as a shield for any reasonable discussion, critique, flaw or qualification. This will in the end lead to some real cleavage between people. It should be the human, the person you are that makes you interesting not your sexuality, your religion, or the color of your skin. You should be much more than this and not something so unimportant that sets u appart. It would be much better to try and use all this energy to be a good, empathic, caring and selfreflected human and really do something to change the world and even if its just a small part, but you can at least with the people you interact with.
Seems this guy (Murray) got some folks stirred. Well done Lex, I really enjoy the diversity of your interview subjects whether I agree with them or not.

A full 33% of the comments I see, excluding mine obviously, claim Douglas is a grifter. I've seen this applied to Peterson and others as well. Is there a liberal document I've missed that recommends people use words like "grifter" and "grifting" when referring to conservatives? Some of my liberal friends do it as well.
Douglas Murray's wrote 5 books before anyone of any note on any political side knew he was. I see lately a number of lex commenters disappointed about the "platforming" of "lunacy" that they can only beat down with ad hominem attacks. As a former liberal and still youngish, I must agree there was a document we missed somewhere.
Peterson is not and never was. Douglas is, so is Sam Harris. that doesn't mean they don't have good arguments. You want to know who is decent and who's not? See what they think of guys like julian assange and Edward Snowden. No freedom of speech and freedom loving human would be against them two. Douglas is! He also thinks that Libyan and the iraq wars were fabulous and done to spread democracy and freedom. Now you see why he's against the individuals I mentioned above. Let me make it easier. Just look who is on the payroll of Zionists.
I feel he is a grifter. He pulls on people's emotions and makes exaggerated comparisons, like rather violent Ukrainians than having them told to be non-binary.

"On any given day in 2016, an estimated 9.2 million men, women, and children were living in modern slavery in Africa. The region has the highest rate of prevalence, with 7.6 people living in modern slavery for every 1,000 people in the region." "The term slave has its origins in the word slav. The slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD." "Africans played a direct role in the slave trade, kidnapping adults and stealing children for the purpose of selling them, through intermediaries, to Europeans or their agents. Those sold into slavery were usually from a different ethnic group than those who captured them, whether enemies or just neighbors." "The Arab Muslim slave trade also known as the trans-Saharan trade or Eastern slave trade is billed as the longest, having happened for more than 1300 years while taking millions of Africans away from their continent to work in foreign land in the most inhumane conditions."
That doesn’t absolve early Americans Europeans of their crimes of OWNING another human. Doesn’t matter who sold them to them. THEY CHOSE TO OWN ANOTHER HUMan. That’s inhumane. If someone from Africa came to you today, and asked , I can sell you 1 person to be your slave… would you say yes????
@@ManorexicPanda Of course I wouldn't say yes. These facts are important to inform individuals of, as many Westerners are only capable of viewing the world through an ethnocentric lens, and will often equate slavery to being solely a problem of the United States. In reality, there are more slaves today than ever before in history.
@@ManorexicPanda there were Africans in America owning slaves in early colonial period, and natives brought slaves of all races with them on the trail of tears a few short decades before the civil war.
@@SolomonRasputin Caribbean slavery was much more brutal than the cotton pickers in north America.

Hereditary racism is absolutely ludicrous, you shouldn’t be held accountable for what your ancestors did. With that being said, there hasn’t been much atonement from white people. Turtle island is still colonized and indigenous peoples still feel the effects from the oppression their ancestors endured; so too do black people. This British dude should go to the British Museum and make a tally of British artifacts vs straight up stolen artifacts from other countries. Extremely disingenuous to come off as someone who wants peace when you’re still reaping all the benefits of your ancestors’ centuries long oppression campaign and saying “but I didn’t do anything”.

Are sports a form of violent competition? There are no female sports? Does the prediction of non-violence apply to trans women? If not, are trans women considered women in this biological model? Can anyone who claims the identity of feminist really advocate for everything and nothing simultaneously, or must political intellectuals finally insist upon standardized definitions in law?
There’s all kinds of violent women, there’s been all kinds of violent women, there still are. Both direct violence and the particularly common form for women - indirect violence. For some reason we entertain the question as if the PREMISE was true.
I relate to what Murray is saying. My mothers family immigrated to this country long after slavery was abolished and my fathers family were northerners who fought for the Union. I have no ties to any systemic racism but I’m white so I’m lumped into the white privilege crowd but always had to work my butt off to get ahead (just like everyone else).
Here's the truth people don't want to acknowledge. There is racism, yes. But go to the poorest of poorest white communities along Appalachia. Or go to "the hood" where whites do exist. They are forgotten by society just like their black neighbors. Most people in today's US do not actually think black people are a subspecies or inferior to whites (the actual definition of racism btw). The US is undergoing a class struggle and poor whites are targeted right there alongside poor blacks. It has become more of a socioeconomic battle rather than an actual racist battle. There are obviously real racists out there, but it is a tiny sliver of the white population. Rather, the population that is running the show are the upper-middle and rich (typically white of course) who are telling the poors to fight each other. When we all know damn well that poor whites and poor blacks are stuck in the same shit hole and are fighting for their lives just the same. The rich would have you think racism is the problem, but economic equality actually is. Probably the most successful experiment of "hide the bacon" ever done. Get poors to fight over race and they won't have time to fight for economic equality. Racism exists, but not to the severity that we are constantly told. It's poor vs rich more than it is white vs black.
@@ZachAAlam West has been running the same schtick for 30 years. Everything black people do wrong is someone else's fault, according to West.

Do you believe black people are solely responsible for the sky high rates of criminal activity in their own communities? If so, what are you going to do about it other than blame white people?
My personal afternoon consisted of watching a 30 for 30 espn documentary on the Lakers vs the Celtics where a certain group of people argued that one team was rascist because it was made up primarily of a larger percentage of one group than the NBA average.

Then I went to Target and was greeted with the “buy from black people” section front and center in the store. Who buys stuff based on someone’s skin color? Or, more importantly, doesn’t buy something based on someone’s skin color? Next thing you know, people will be given prominent political and social positions based on NOT HAVING a certain color or genitalia. Let’s hope that never happens…….
I've lived in a predominantly Latino area of California for well over the past decade. I have experienced racism from Latino people and even been told by other Latinos that Latinos can be extremely racist. I knew about the extensive racial social caste system in Latino culture from paying attention in History class but didn't realize that racism would transfer over specifically to white people but it does. On a conspiratorial note, it would also make sense that I would experience racism here from Latinos specifically because in America (specifically California) there is a HUGE border problem and California by virtue of current lack of enforcement has a ton of illegal immigrants. However, since California is a piece of land that used to be Mexico but was sold to the U.S.A. in 1848 a lot of the Mexicans who come here (particularly illegally) want California to return to being part of Mexico. This is called the "la raza" conspiracy and is not actually a theory, it is a conspiracy fact. It is a well documented phenomenon and anyone who has anthropological ties and has spent time researching realizes its depth. This creates a dynamic in many parts of (particularly southern California) where Latinos are the dominant demographic and many of them are extremely racist against white people because they believe there shouldn't be any white people there because California should still be part of Mexico and it should be all Latinos (la raza) with no white people. The lack of enforcement on mass illegal immigration is part of that "la raza" conspiracy, where the rich wealthy leftist elites are siding with the covert retaking of California for Mexico so that way the rich wealthy leftist elites can turn the entire portion of the Mexican population that has any modicum of ambition into a slave caste that is separated from the rest of Mexico but still serves the interests of the wealthy leftist U.S.A. elites.
“Latino” isn’t a race. It doesn’t even exist in actual South American dialect. We are called Hispanic because of our Spanish roots, culture, and language. Racism and ignorance exists in all groups of people. And yes the western part of the USA used to be part of Mexico so of course there will be a lot of Mexicans there.
The level of delusion and callus pride you have to have as a white english man to say "my ancestors didn't do anything wrong" The problem with this whole frame of thought is that people of color don't have the privilege of says "we're all human" because we get treated as less than even today just for the color of our skin; saying white people are victimized in America in any way is a laughable concept.

If we are ever going to teach critical race theory then it must start off at the beginning of the human story. Specifically what each race (phenotype) had to do in order to mentally, physically, and biologically adapt to their environment once migrating out of the African Continent approximately 100,000 years ago (Early human migration). That would specifically explain the dichotomy of why many cultures are the way they are phenotypically (physical appearance) and why all different people around the world have linguistic, cultural, & Ideological differences. If you teach that all humans no matter what race you are started as black African people who eventually adapted to different environments creating many divergent phenotypes (physical appearances) you can easily begin a good foundation on how we are all related as humans but Furthermore explain about how tribalism or racist ideologies were created. Why was the 20th century western fascination of race defined as something phenotypical instead of ethic groups that share similar haploid-groups.
@@jt7273 The reason why the out of Africa theory is facts not a “theory” is because literally the last few 100 human skeletons that have outdated each other as the oldest skeleton on earth have all been found in Africa so unless there’s at least hundreds of different human skeletons found all over Europe & Asia that are older than Lucy than those discoveries hold no weight to debunking that humans originated in Africa. Since the beginning of anthropology Europeans have looked all over Asia and Europe to discredit Africa as being the place where humanity started. Obviously the out of Africa theory isn’t advantageous to the Europeans who started the slave trade and created fake history to accommodate the ideology behind the transatlantic slave trade. The skeletons found all over Africa is just 1/2 of the evidence we have to prove humanity started in Africa. Even if they find skeletons that are older than Lucy (the oldest skeleton in the world found in Ethiopia) in Europe and Asia you still have the issue of haplogroups. The reason why we know all humans are descendants of Lucy is also because of haplogroups. A haplogroup is a genetic population group of people who share a common ancestor on either their paternal or maternal line. So regardless if you are European Asian or Austronesian your paternal or maternal bloodline will show your ancestors originated in Africa, specifically East Africa because the people that live in East Africa today share their genetics with literally everyone on earth . If there was a group of people in northern Asia or Europe that share genetics with every human being on earth to the extent of their haplogroups then we would know there are clues humanity started there. Until that day we are all Descendants of the black man I’m sorry Jim Crow lol I know George Washington and every other racist piece of shit president in this country’s history is probably pissed about this theory being proven as facts. 😂 George Washington would take the teeth out the mouth of his slaves to replace his own. A man only does these kind of things when they think they’re better than another man. It’s a shame there wasn’t modern technology back then, then George Washington would have realized he lived in a society that enslaved the earths first Human beings. His ancestors looked like black Africans at one time. It’s a shame he didn’t know that but hey at least now we know.

i've seen reverse racism in that sense that white people are automatically judged or judged on their predecessors. i've seen activist minorities and people act like this and it's just not fair. as he says, you can't just people on their sins of their fathers. it's not like most white people agree with slavery or colonialism, most are appalled by it if they are decently moraled or educated. we need to minimize the hate and division, not make people feel uncomfortable for this they can't control like being born a certain race or gender. yes it's important though for white people to understand what white privelege is, especially in america and the uk, but not in the sense of feeling guilty or nihilistic about their existence. just understand how people of color are pre judged and get things in society harder then white people including better positions salaries govm positions etc.
Yea, honestly, I can’t quite pinpoint where the shift happened.. but personally, I don’t want ANYONE to feel uncomfortable based on how they look.. white/black/Asian/Latino/etc… I think we’re living in a really interesting time with a TON of potential to move forward with a greater understanding of each other.. and while I’m not a fan of this current climate, one thing I wish is that straight white dudes who feel marginalized right now would say “oh shit, this is what they’ve all been talking about all these years.. but 10x.. gotcha, let me see the world differently moving forward”.. and one thing I wish people of color/women/LGBTQ+ would say is “oh shit, am I doing the same thing that I didn’t like them doing? That’s not right.. but I see how easy it is to get drunk off power.. let me see the world differently moving forward”.. it’s uncomfortable, but I think we can come out of this better, stronger and more compassionate than before.. anyways, good luck to you, my friend

The issue with this idea he’s sharing here is that there hasn’t been reconciliation of the systems of power on the oppressed. Race was and is a convenience for economic maintenance. There was an attempt to reset the balance, but Jim Crow eliminated the chance of America making useful change. It hasn’t recovered. He uses symbols of race (and identity), but it was always about power and economy. The foundation of race as a concept was built around these premises. Break it down to the core, and the issue is clear. Imbalances remain and it’s far too late to fix the wound. It’s festered into culture and the mindset of everyone.
this guy doesn't get it. i agree with his intentions but theres a lot more to this subject that is deeper than what he is talking about. understandably so, as i'm sure he has never had to experience and think about these subjects every second of his life. this is why education is important. these discussions are a good step forward.

@@dnyhan i see what you're saying. i do agree with you that there isn't room for nuance when we say racism is not acceptable. so i dont think "reverse racism," reparations, affirmative action, etc. is the solution either. that would be hypocritical. however i do think that there are plenty of examples of institutionalized racism and otherwise in our society that disenfranchises racial groups. this is a point that can be argued i guess so i could be wrong here, but i personally believe this to be true about american society. so how can we have a society free of racism when it is inherently part of our society and our infrastructure? i honestly don't know. but we can start by understanding each other and realizing we are all human beings, we are all americans, and we really aren't all that different and share the same goal at the end of the day. we need to stop treating the symptoms of racism at the expense of other racial groups (like "reverse racism"), and instead attack the root of the problem. but i'm no MLK or whatever, i don't have all the answers. thanks for your viewpoint too, i respect it and i hear you.
@Andrew Song Good points. My direct experience of the USA is limited, so I can only share my external interpretation. I find the USA hyper-racialised and quite tribalistic. Even Canadians seem very noticeably different in that regard. My sense is that a lot of Americans don't share a common framework with the rest of the Anglosphere. We think in terms of class struggle, you think in terms of racial struggle (even for objectively class based issues). No surprise then, that racial justice movements can't fix class based problems. I'm sure institutional racism persists, but wealth inequality in the US is so absurd, that it's just rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic anyway. From the outside, the US appears to be corroding and the trajectory looks awful. I don't think the socioeconomic problems will ever be corrected, regardless of civil rights etc., because it would require a social democratic movement which is anathema to you. Ironically, much of the racial division would effortlessly subside if you did tackle socioeconomic problems. We seriously considered moving to the US, but ultimately rejected it because your health system is a tragedy maker and a dream breaker. Your government will always have money for wars, but won't feed or educate your poor - regardless of race. Racial division will continue to ensure you never achieve the class unity you need to effect change - which will lead to...racial division.

Men are the main source of violence but they were also the main driver for creating the society we have today (including almost all inventions humankind made). The reason is simple, man are more competitive, and competition is the main driver to try something new. Unfortunately, it also produces violence as a side effect. You cannot have one without the other. Ofc from a the standpoint of a person living in a western country in the 21st century it is easy to forget, that we as humans came a long way. We didn't start with democracies, internet, power plants, well trained medical doctors, GPS and highly optimized agriculture 10,000 years ago.
4:35 this is the dumbest argument, because men aren't the originators of violence. All the other species in the world before humans ever evolved are the originators of violence. Coming up in this world, evolving in this world, stone age man. You had to kill (or at least be willing to kill) or be killed. Whether that was an animal trying to use your resources against your will, or another human trying to use your resources against your will. Stone age men we're not the first one to use violence to their benefit. Females of the same species ARE in competition with one another for food and resources, even if men are not there. Therefore, if there was a limited amount of food (as in almost every natural ecosystem), a more aggressive female will be the last one standing after a period of time. This doesnt matter if they're birds or lions or humans, and there are or are not men present. Animals will compete to stay alive. We are coded to.
It’s easy, first off white people are not racists just bcuz they are white Second if you’re not white you’re not exempted from being racist. Third Boys have Cocks girls have cunts and wokism is delusion. Seemed pretty straightforward

I’m a straight white male living with 6 roommates who are all either gay, bi, POC, non-binary, and I’ve observed first-hand what he talks about here. I went to a bar with them after the Pride parade and one of them said to me “no worries, you can just be gender fluid for the night,” as if being a cis man just wasn’t okay. I cheekily told her “how about I just be who I am instead,” and didn’t get the impression it was appreciated.
The “non-binary” roommate (who has never presented herself as anything other than what I’ve always thought was a woman) does a lot of dating, and she has never once dated a white guy since I’ve known her, despite us living in a predominantly white city. Given the way that her and her friends talk about white people (especially white men) I’m not surprised.
I manage not to let their attitudes demoralize me, but sometimes just barely. Holding my head high and being okay with who I am doesn’t seem like it should take so much effort.

This isn’t goddamn Lord of the Rings.
I don’t understand how people don’t see that judging an entire group, especially for a hereditary trait, is text book racism. But even if they don’t see that, how do they not see that taking this adversarial view guarantees a bigger fight? There will be kids today who grow up seeing this and will react against it in equal and opposite degree. It’s such a bad strategy. There is no solution to this by creating greater division.

The solution is simple. We experience life as individuals, lets determine what we think of each other based on our individual personalities rather than what group we’ve been associated with.
this is the goal. lets hope we can get past all the bullshit and childish arguing, and instead actually learn and listen to each other and have productive discussions. i think we will then realize we are more alike than different, and that we actually all want the same thing and share the same goal. then just maybe we will get there.

There are places where women live without any violent men around them. Those places are called women's penitentiaries and they are some of the most violent places a woman could ever find herself. In the absence of men, women form their own hierarchy's where the toughest and most violent women rule over the weaker ones. Human nature is such that the strong will always try to rule the weak. Women are no exception to this.
The most domestic abuse occurs within lesbian relationships
A population of outliers for sure, not representative of the larger group. Just like men's prisons.
So your argument is that if we take the most violent women in society, lock them in cages and deny them their freedom they'll act like more like men? Men don't live in convents either and I wouldn't say the average convent is a cesspool of violence.

Nowadays you cannot be critical anymore, especially if you are a "god forbid" straight white male. I think the main problem is that this generation is so extremely focused on getting attention and wanting to stand out and is not willing to see that a behavior like that doesn't make them in any way different from being exactly what they claim to be that everybody else is if they don't share the same opinion. This whole forced diversity topic is really getting out of hand, no matter if it is about gender, sexuality, feminism, religion, or skin color. There are just a lot of unhappy people that trying to find for everything that doesn't work out for them to blame everything and everybody else and trying to find a way to attack just to make themselves feel better and not have to reflect on themselves because in their mind there are already perfect anyway. "How can some company not hire me, sure because I am gay or a person of color or whatever" please don't get me wrong I don't want to say that there can't be instances where this might not still be the case and its good to know then where you can get support but most of the times this is just used as a shield for any reasonable discussion, critique, flaw or qualification. This will in the end lead to some real cleavage between people. It should be the human, the person you are that makes you interesting not your sexuality, your religion, or the color of your skin. You should be much more than this and not something so unimportant that sets u appart. It would be much better to try and use all this energy to be a good, empathic, caring and selfreflected human and really do something to change the world and even if its just a small part, but you can at least with the people you interact with.

"On any given day in 2016, an estimated 9.2 million men, women, and children were living in modern slavery in Africa. The region has the highest rate of prevalence, with 7.6 people living in modern slavery for every 1,000 people in the region."
"The term slave has its origins in the word slav. The slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD."
"Africans played a direct role in the slave trade, kidnapping adults and stealing children for the purpose of selling them, through intermediaries, to Europeans or their agents. Those sold into slavery were usually from a different ethnic group than those who captured them, whether enemies or just neighbors."
"The Arab Muslim slave trade also known as the trans-Saharan trade or Eastern slave trade is billed as the longest, having happened for more than 1300 years while taking millions of Africans away from their continent to work in foreign land in the most inhumane conditions."
That doesn’t absolve early Americans Europeans of their crimes of OWNING another human. Doesn’t matter who sold them to them. THEY CHOSE TO OWN ANOTHER HUMan. That’s inhumane. If someone from Africa came to you today, and asked , I can sell you 1 person to be your slave… would you say yes????

Hereditary racism is absolutely ludicrous, you shouldn’t be held accountable for what your ancestors did. With that being said, there hasn’t been much atonement from white people.

You’re a part of a race whether you like it or not
Here's the truth people don't want to acknowledge. There is racism, yes. But go to the poorest of poorest white communities along Appalachia. Or go to "the hood" where whites do exist. They are forgotten by society just like their black neighbors. Most people in today's US do not actually think black people are a subspecies or inferior to whites (the actual definition of racism btw). The US is undergoing a class struggle and poor whites are targeted right there alongside poor blacks. It has become more of a socioeconomic battle rather than an actual racist battle. There are obviously real racists out there, but it is a tiny sliver of the white population. Rather, the population that is running the show are the upper-middle and rich (typically white of course) who are telling the poors to fight each other. When we all know damn well that poor whites and poor blacks are stuck in the same shit hole and are fighting for their lives just the same.
The rich would have you think racism is the problem, but economic equality actually is. Probably the most successful experiment of "hide the bacon" ever done. Get poors to fight over race and they won't have time to fight for economic equality.
Racism exists, but not to the severity that we are constantly told. It's poor vs rich more than it is white vs black.

I've lived in a predominantly Latino area of California for well over the past decade. I have experienced racism from Latino people and even been told by other Latinos that Latinos can be extremely racist. I knew about the extensive racial social caste system in Latino culture from paying attention in History class but didn't realize that racism would transfer over specifically to white people but it does.
On a conspiratorial note, it would also make sense that I would experience racism here from Latinos specifically because in America (specifically California) there is a HUGE border problem and California by virtue of current lack of enforcement has a ton of illegal immigrants. However, since California is a piece of land that used to be Mexico but was sold to the U.S.A. in 1848 a lot of the Mexicans who come here (particularly illegally) want California to return to being part of Mexico. This is called the "la raza" conspiracy and is not actually a theory, it is a conspiracy fact. It is a well documented phenomenon and anyone who has anthropological ties and has spent time researching realizes its depth. This creates a dynamic in many parts of (particularly southern California) where Latinos are the dominant demographic and many of them are extremely racist against white people because they believe there shouldn't be any white people there because California should still be part of Mexico and it should be all Latinos (la raza) with no white people. The lack of enforcement on mass illegal immigration is part of that "la raza" conspiracy, where the rich wealthy leftist elites are siding with the covert retaking of California for Mexico so that way the rich wealthy leftist elites can turn the entire portion of the Mexican population that has any modicum of ambition into a slave caste that is separated from the rest of Mexico but still serves the interests of the wealthy leftist U.S.A. elites.
“Latino” isn’t a race. It doesn’t even exist in actual South American dialect. We are called Hispanic because of our Spanish roots, culture, and language. Racism and ignorance exists in all groups of people. And yes the western part of the USA used to be part of Mexico so of course there will be a lot of Mexicans there.

If we are ever going to teach critical race theory then it must start off at the beginning of the human story. Specifically what each race (phenotype) had to do in order to mentally, physically, and biologically adapt to their environment once migrating out of the African Continent approximately 100,000 years ago (Early human migration). That would specifically explain the dichotomy of why many cultures are the way they are phenotypically (physical appearance) and why all different people around the world have linguistic, cultural, & Ideological differences. If you teach that all humans no matter what race you are started as black African people who eventually adapted to different environments creating many divergent phenotypes (physical appearances) you can easily begin a good foundation on how we are all related as humans but Furthermore explain about how tribalism or racist ideologies were created. Why was the 20th century western fascination of race defined as something phenotypical instead of ethic groups that share similar haploid-groups.
@@jt7273 The reason why the out of Africa theory is facts not a “theory” is because literally the last few 100 human skeletons that have outdated each other as the oldest skeleton on earth have all been found in Africa so unless there’s at least hundreds of different human skeletons found all over Europe & Asia that are older than Lucy than those discoveries hold no weight to debunking that humans originated in Africa. Since the beginning of anthropology Europeans have looked all over Asia and Europe to discredit Africa as being the place where humanity started. Obviously the out of Africa theory isn’t advantageous to the Europeans who started the slave trade and created fake history to accommodate the ideology behind the transatlantic slave trade. The skeletons found all over Africa is just 1/2 of the evidence we have to prove humanity started in Africa. Even if they find skeletons that are older than Lucy (the oldest skeleton in the world found in Ethiopia) in Europe and Asia you still have the issue of haplogroups. The reason why we know all humans are descendants of Lucy is also because of haplogroups. A haplogroup is a genetic population group of people who share a common ancestor on either their paternal or maternal line. So regardless if you are European Asian or Austronesian your paternal or maternal bloodline will show your ancestors originated in Africa, specifically East Africa because the people that live in East Africa today share their genetics with literally everyone on earth . If there was a group of people in northern Asia or Europe that share genetics with every human being on earth to the extent of their haplogroups then we would know there are clues humanity started there. Until that day we are all Descendants of the black man I’m sorry Jim Crow lol I know George Washington and every other racist piece of shit president in this country’s history is probably pissed about this theory being proven as facts. 😂 George Washington would take the teeth out the mouth of his slaves to replace his own. A man only does these kind of things when they think they’re better than another man. It’s a shame there wasn’t modern technology back then, then George Washington would have realized he lived in a society that enslaved the earths first Human beings. His ancestors looked like black Africans at one time. It’s a shame he didn’t know that but hey at least now we know.
@@jt7273 Plus when I lookup out of Africa theory debunked on Google The first three links / articles that pop up talks about how they thought they debunked it but the evidence isn’t concrete yet. Plus the bones they found in Europe were not Homo sapien sapiens. Homo erectus, Neanderthals, Homo habilis are all different evolutionarily. All of those kind of humans were necessary to create and eventually birth Homosapien sapiens, granted the bottom line is the first Homosapien sapiens were black African people which historically & anthropologically can be proven through language, genetics, haplo groups, & skeleton remains of early humans.

The issue with this idea he’s sharing here is that there hasn’t been reconciliation of the systems of power on the oppressed. Race was and is a convenience for economic maintenance. There was an attempt to reset the balance, but Jim Crow eliminated the chance of America making useful change. It hasn’t recovered. He uses symbols of race (and identity), but it was always about power and economy. The foundation of race as a concept was built around these premises. Break it down to the core, and the issue is clear. Imbalances remain and it’s far too late to fix the wound. It’s festered into culture and the mindset of everyone.
I'm seeing a lot of this going on, it's oddly acceptable for White Men to speak on the fate of other groups, casually.

@@dnyhan racism is not acceptable. i don't take either side in this argument. its just ignorant people on the left arguing with other ignorant people on the right. we need to educate each other and understand each other better instead of reacting so emotionally and destructively.
@@andyhsong Thank you for elaborating - you said he didn't get it, so I thought you disagree.
It seems you agree with him (and me).
I accept your point, but I see it as a corollary; I explicitly think there is no room for nuance in the point Murray made, I.e. there is no socially acceptable form of racism, including hereditary. C'est ca.
(I do take a side tho - I approve of discrimination against actual racists, regardless of their ethnicity)
@@dnyhan i see what you're saying. i do agree with you that there isn't room for nuance when we say racism is not acceptable. so i dont think "reverse racism," reparations, affirmative action, etc. is the solution either. that would be hypocritical. however i do think that there are plenty of examples of institutionalized racism and otherwise in our society that disenfranchises racial groups. this is a point that can be argued i guess so i could be wrong here, but i personally believe this to be true about american society.
so how can we have a society free of racism when it is inherently part of our society and our infrastructure? i honestly don't know. but we can start by understanding each other and realizing we are all human beings, we are all americans, and we really aren't all that different and share the same goal at the end of the day. we need to stop treating the symptoms of racism at the expense of other racial groups (like "reverse racism"), and instead attack the root of the problem. but i'm no MLK or whatever, i don't have all the answers. thanks for your viewpoint too, i respect it and i hear you.
@Andrew Song Good points.
My direct experience of the USA is limited, so I can only share my external interpretation.
I find the USA hyper-racialised and quite tribalistic. Even Canadians seem very noticeably different in that regard.
My sense is that a lot of Americans don't share a common framework with the rest of the Anglosphere.
We think in terms of class struggle, you think in terms of racial struggle (even for objectively class based issues).
No surprise then, that racial justice movements can't fix class based problems.
I'm sure institutional racism persists, but wealth inequality in the US is so absurd, that it's just rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic anyway. From the outside, the US appears to be corroding and the trajectory looks awful.
I don't think the socioeconomic problems will ever be corrected, regardless of civil rights etc., because it would require a social democratic movement which is anathema to you.
Ironically, much of the racial division would effortlessly subside if you did tackle socioeconomic problems.
We seriously considered moving to the US, but ultimately rejected it because your health system is a tragedy maker and a dream breaker.
Your government will always have money for wars, but won't feed or educate your poor - regardless of race.
Racial division will continue to ensure you never achieve the class unity you need to effect change - which will lead to...racial division.
What a sad, angry defensive guy. No chill at all. This guy would be such a downer at any gathering. I bet he isn’t invited out much- other than by equally sad, angry guys. Then they all sit around drinking sour beer and grumbling.

Has this guy ever heard of eugenics, manifest destiny or any other racist other ideology that has been followed by so many.
Eugenics is good
@@voidoflife7058 u do know that all of humanity came out of Africa

I had no idea
We're in 2022 still trying to deal with the fact the colours of our skin have variations 😅
Race isn’t skin color buddy
race is skull structure, not skin color. Otherwise an albino african would be considered white, but they are not.
@@gibememoni race isn’t skill structure either lol
This argument is so short sighted, odd + quite delusional. Ignores the majority of human history for his own sake. Not to mention biology.
The comments are very interesting.
The minority can keep the majority in check. 20th Century South Africa

Men are the main source of violence but they were also the main driver for creating the society we have today (including almost all inventions humankind made). The reason is simple, man are more competitive, and competition is the main driver to try something new. Unfortunately, it also produces violence as a side effect. You cannot have one without the other. Ofc from a the standpoint of a person living in a western country in the 21st century it is easy to forget, that we as humans came a long way. We didn't start with democracies, internet, power plants, well trained medical doctors, GPS and highly optimized agriculture 10,000 years ago.
4:35 this is the dumbest argument, because men aren't the originators of violence. All the other species in the world before humans ever evolved are the originators of violence.
Coming up in this world, evolving in this world, stone age man. You had to kill (or at least be willing to kill) or be killed. Whether that was an animal trying to use your resources against your will, or another human trying to use your resources against your will. Stone age men we're not the first one to use violence to their benefit.
Females of the same species ARE in competition with one another for food and resources, even if men are not there. Therefore, if there was a limited amount of food (as in almost every natural ecosystem), a more aggressive female will be the last one standing after a period of time. This doesnt matter if they're birds or lions or humans, and there are or are not men present. Animals will compete to stay alive. We are coded to.

Please read discrimination and disparities by Dr. THOMAS sowell he explains this through economics with empirical data its really good
One of the few of your guests that I do not care for. I’ve tried him In other spots as well. Posturing.
3 mins in & 🤔 confused lol
It’s easy, first off white people are not racists just bcuz they are white
Second if you’re not white you’re not exempted from being racist.
