its funny that in europe "latino" isnt a thing. they're just considered white. as in if a mexican moved to sweden that mexican would be considered white. usa is so god damn obsessed with race that they just have to create as many as possible, for some reason deciding latinos are different than white. same with jewish people, considered white in europe (or well, there are black jews but generally when people say "jewish" they think ashkenazi). i mean obviously i can see that an italian is from italy and not from germany and i can tell if a person is from a slavic country as opposed to being from france or something but they're all "white". i can tell a french person apart from a dane without issue, doesnt really mean one is white and one isnt.

You see this young Latino probably was born or came here at a very early age. His parents worked thier asses off to support him and give him the best things in life. Off he goes to the American schools of indoctrination. I have a construction company for the past 30 years. I work with Latinos everyday. Hardworking individuals living the American dream. No college for them Just hard working supporting thier families. It's a world of difference listening to this young man who has been indoctrinated by the liberal professor's in the American indoctrination system and listening to the Latinos who never went to college and work hard for a living. 2 different worlds.
The 3 things that Charlie mentioned to stay out of poverty are from a Brookings study. 1. Have a job. 2. Graduate from high school. 3. Do not have kids until you get married.
Few people understand their specialty as well as Charlie. His confidence on stage comes from knowing that no matter what question is asked he can use the truth and logic to navigate the problem. This is because he isn't trying to make something true that isn't, he's simply appealing to what is actually true.
Charlie is 100% correct. At the same time this kid is not a "Racebaiter". He is a young man asking questions and having a good discussion on topic of race today. Especially knowing what you pretty much KNOW he has been exposed to in "higher" education.
I mostly agree, the kid didn't seem like a racebaiter but the question is almost always used by racebaiters. Seemed like he was asking it honestly so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
@juan abee You again, I told you what to do just self identify as a gay transgender person of color problem solved. Unless you're either a troll so everything you type is a lie or you are on the left... so everything you type is a lie.
He always goes with the Asian- American example, but most of them came to America from middle class backgrounds, they were not dragged there as slaves.
To be fair, that kid wasn't any kind of race baiter. He asked his questions politely and didn't appeal to base emotions or attempt to whip up the audience. He behaved in an exemplary fashion for a public debate and Turning Point really ought to chance the clickbait-y title of the vid to reflect this
@@ionutalbu6670 What? They never said anything in regard to Charlie's facts, but the title alone... I think your response has some sort of bias present. When the left says something, you say the opposite I bet. You fell for the click-bait and didn't get what this comment was about because you hate the left so much you primed yourself into thinking your side won harder than it did. When someone doesn't agree with your side 100%, like the click bait title, you go into defense mode. P.s. white privilege is a myth. I'm guessing you're going to go bias mode and assume I must be on the left because I pointed out your response was stupid.
@@marcusrosales3344 You think that my response is biased, you also assume that I am on the right side, you assume I disagree with everything on the left (I do not agree with the abortion law change, for example), you assume defence mode and tell me I fell for the clickbait after you actually clicked the link yourself and watched the clip and, lastly, I can explain how diversion works in case you, somehow, missed it. Bravo!
I agree. While I tend to go along with Charlie's positions and viewpoints on many issues, some of the titles of these videos exaggerate. That said, I do believe that white privilege is imaginary. I grew up in a white lower middle class Jewish home in Canada. Whilst some of our neighbours were always travelling to Cape Canaveral, Cape May, Cape Cod, Cape Hatteras, etc., the only capes we saw were the ones that George Reeves (Superman) and Adam West (Batman) wore on television. We had no money. Yet I really did not feel deprived. We learnt to appreciate what we did have. Some of the neighbour kids went to private parochial schools. We went to the local subsidised public schools. But it was there that I heard the Gospel, sang Christian hymns, prayed, and had teachers and principals praying for my salvation. And their prayers were answered🙂
I'm a middle aged white man and was born into a lower class family where my parents were in their early 20s and my father was an airman in the US Air Force. We lived in a trailer park and my parents had to sacrifice in order to feed and cloth me. My mom stayed home and my father worked on the base. They ate frozen waffles and macaroni and cheese so they could purchase baby food, diapers, etc. After my father separated from the military, we moved back to where they grew up and my father got a low paying tech job for Digital Equipment Corp. He busted his ass and my mother worked low end jobs to bring some extra money in and I grew up as a Gen-X'er and a latch key kid. My father worked hard and climbed the ladder and went to school to get his BS. My parents made good choices and we moved into the middle class. My parents had strict expectations for my younger sister and I on education. We both went to state college where I worked hard to get a degree in electrical engineering. I married right out of college and became a father a year later where the cycle repeated. I worked as a maintenance tech for a year while taking a class in C programming. Then then took a job doing tech support for a meager salary at a software company. I worked hard but sacrificed with my ex to support our growing family. I continued to learn and climbed the ladder to leave 5 years later as a senior software engineer. Several jobs later, a remarriage due to my ex's infidelity, a new wife and step son and now my wife and I are solidly top 5%'ers. Our boys are grown and we enjoy a great life of privilege together. Not privilege due to the color of our skin but privilege due to the sweat from our brows. She has a similar story growing up poor and from a broken home but rising out of it through education, hard work and good choices. We both came into this work in the lower class, poor but found the American dream through hard work and perseverance. Anyone can do it and the color of your skin is NOT a deterrent you are NOT a victim.
@Gab Exactly correct and I am proud of it. I'm also proud that neither of my boys have any criminal record, are productive and respectful young men, respect authority, etc. They were raised right. My oldest is a security guard supervisor and he was over the house last night talking about kids that he deals with and was saying how uncomfortable he would have been after my foot was inserted into his ass if he acted like these kids do these days... lol. He appreciates the strong upbringing which makes me happy to know that I did that right.
When people talk about 'privilege', they're really talking about money.. and you usually hear about it from young people who are just starting out in life and don't have any money. Let's talk about the privilege of youth. I would give every penny I have to go back to being a 21 year old who could get out of bed in the morning and nothing hurts. To have that freedom, to not have the obligations and stress and just go to college a couple of hours a day and party all night.
He may have been an orphan raised in a living hell and also be a Latino with an American accent, or he could have been the child of a billionaire. The point Charlie is making here is that you CAN'T tell what someone has been through by looking at them(for most things obviously).
Oh yes he has. He's a victim of the liberal public indoctrination system, the liberal mainstream media and liberal social media platforms. This was most likely his first exposure to actual fact driven, truthful information.
I wasn’t born in the United States but got here as fast as I could. My mother brought me here (legally) at 5 years old. She was a single mother raised 3 kids. Absolutely zero, zero, zero government help. Im Now 41, married three kids. My salary alone not considering my wife is just shy 100k. How is it possible for me to be better off than an African American just boggles my mind.
That is one very intelligent young man!!!! The WORLD is privileged to have him in it!!! He was so respectful and seems very genuine in the way that he asked the question. There is hope yet!!!
I have always enjoyed the Turning Point Videos, but Mr. Kirk you must talk to your staff about some of the titling of your videos. The young man in this video was not a "Racebaiter" he was very calm, and respectful and was not even trying to " Outsmart " any one. This was very much a two sided conversation. I have noticed in the last couple videos the crowd has, for the most part, seem to be listening more, and yelling less at you Mr. Kirk. It seems the tides may be changing for the better in the minds of the young adults. But when your staff titles your videos incorrectly ,this can set back all the good you have done when it comes to trying to bring forth the truth. In many cases the video titles keep all this Racism , White Privilege out in the forefront just to keep the WORLD FIGHTING WITH ONE ANOTHER.😢 This is WONG.😢
Why do these students so desperately WANT their views to be the truth - I assume it's because that's all they know and reality is a hard pill to swallow.
Because they have literally been brainwashed in school. They were never taught critical thinking skills and therefore, have no ability to reason. They just regurgitate what they've been told.
I didn't backfire, it succeeded in its intent. It made a substantial portion of the black population dependent upon government largesse for its daily needs. And beholden to the democrat party. If the black population ever figures out how badly it has been used by the democrats I wouldn't give good odds for the long term survival of that party.
@@altairprime7895 and you are correct - blacks either haven’t figured it out or are just content living that way. When I was in the army reserves we had a bright black kid who our CSM offered a nice govt job of pay and benefits. The kids response was “welfare was good enough for my grandfather,and my dad and it is good enough for me. “. A very telling but sad response
@@vespacheck It didn't backfire...they lied about it being for their benefit. Its intent was to make blacks dependent, not to help them. Welfare and The Great Society did more to destroy the black family unit than anything ever done to them before, including slavery. Because this time they accepted it willingly.
These government plans have not backfired, they have been wildly successful. Destruction of family works better when people sign up for it, a little cash and cheese.
Even his question is ridiculous. "I think I saw something on Facebook, someone shared, like a video or a picture. Could you elaborate?" That poor kid doesn't even know how good he has it. He's been brainwashed
I was raised in L.A. and had friends of different ethnic groups. We never thought about our so called differences,now it seems there are those who do and are trying to get us to join in,hopefully others will not listen to these racist promoters and just let the wind blow.
That last line is interesting. The biggest problem with the whole “system racism” thing isn’t exactly the concept itself, but rather poor wording… and I think there’s some common ground here that can be used to get somewhere in this conversation. The idea that there are laws that are meant to keep people unable to move up in the world is objectively and provably false, however there are undoubtedly a ton of laws that incentivize people in poverty to remain in poverty, and encourage behavior counterproductive to reaching success. Perhaps the method of reaching some form of solution is correcting the concept of systemic racism, rather than outright denying it. I would say that the term “systemic classism” is much more appropriate, because the system is set up to incentivize people to stay in their lane, and protect large corporations at the expense of small business owners.
The Jim Crowe laws were only prevalent in the Southeastern part of the U.S. (former slave states). The vast majority of states never had slavery or Jim Crowe laws.
All states actually did have slavery of some sort. The laws between the states were different but still had (past tense) slavery. However as you mentioned not all states had Jim Crowe Laws.
@@chrish7336 no Sir, there have never been more than 15 states that allowed slavery. All of the original colonies began abolishing slavery following the ratification of the constitution, afterwards, slavery was restricted 100% to southern states. Holding a person in slavery within a free state was a very serious crime and simply did not happen. The U.S. Congress made it illegal to U.S. American ships in the slave trade, by 1820, the penalty for doing so was death by hanging.
it astounds me that so called "educated" young men and women in universities(students) stand up in these forums and actually believe what they are saying..It is indeed all about good choices we make . Yes people do fall on hard times,that is true; but it is still down to the good ,or bad choices made by the individual.
Most of the problem can be attributed to these young people just parroting what they've been taught, not just in college but from grade school on up. Most teachers have their own agendas, don't encourage finding facts and never give the other side of any argument.
Charlie Kirk is entirely correct on every point this kid brings up. Hopefully some of what he say to him sinks in! But I wouldn't bet the farm on it...
As a white American, a latino, especially an illegal one, and blacks will get free things over me any day and the more kids, the more free stuff. I experienced it when I lost my small business I started at age 16 when forced to close during covid and as a tax payer all these years, I was denied any temporary help.
I'm not sure why conservatives don't make this tie... The left calls out institutional racism... It's not specifically racism as it's more classism, but for sure affects a large swath of black people. But those laws charlie mentioned regarding benefits doled out to people who are unmarried but if they get married they lose the benefits. That's institutional "racism". There are tons of programs out there that by design (intended or unintended) propogate the continuance of the poor black community. These are all leftist programs btw that are under the guise of helping. It's called the soft bigotry of low expectations. "These poor black people will never make it without our help". That's racism. And if anyone, white, black or other falls into that trap, they become wholly dependent on the system and it creates generations of communities that struggle to get out from under it.
And it's not just "free money". It's the stipulations that come with it. Like don't get a job. Don't get married. If you get a job, you better make less than a certain amount. But the amount is so low it's more affordable to just stay on state benefits and be poor. Once you take a job you also have to pay for daycare and gas and everything else. Depending on how much the job pays you lose your food cards, lose your state funded medical insurance benefits, lose your monthly checks. Guess what, as little as all of those benefits are in total, it's still more than you might make in a job after you incure extra bills like the gas and daycare previously mentioned. Just saying. People can get out of it, they do it all the time, but it's hard, and scary, and the benefits are used as a trap to keep people voting a certain way.
Turning point, please stop using these click bait titles. It hurts you. This was a respectful gentleman with a poor view of the world (imo). These titles do you more harm than good.
They (The GOP) sure are by comparison, but I wouldn't trust that they wouldn't have pulled some crap if they were the ones in power for the last 40 years. Last I checked, the GOP isn't pushing to cut kids genitals off, reject biology, and demonize an entire race.
My Grand father fought the Japanese in WW11. I went to several of his Army reunions. Some of the other vets would single me out & tell me that my dad saved their lives. They said that dad was a stone cold killer; until the enemy gave up. When they gave up, he protected them. Evidently he often said that there has been too much killing today. Those are the words of his combat friends. So, I guess, "Fight to the death until you no longer have to. Then become a healer & not a killer."
It is not racism, it is people refusing, as individuals, to take responsibility for their own lives and decisions. The left has so promoted the “I’m oppressed, I’m a victim, I can’t do anything because other people won’t give me a chance” mentality that it has destroyed any incentive to improve one’s self or even try, and has increased frustration, anger, and hopelessness, which in turn causes people to commit violence. The left always claim to be ‘helping’, yet their message is always “hate the guy over there, go ahead, hate them!” Not the way to improve anything.
I have a neighbor that says I have white privilege...after i asked how exactly do i have white privilege when we both live in the same building...so then her next attack was colonizer. ...the list is endless...her attitude changed when I gave her a piece of cake.
There's not a single race, ethnicity, or culture who hasn't "colonized" their neighbor's land to some degree. Every human being on Earth currently occupies 'stolen land.' So many are like your neighbor and insist that stolen land exclusively involves Western colonizers and poc victims. Stuff and nonsense.
Build a house and invite people to come live with you and then listen to them complain to you "why do you have a bigger bedroom. You said make yourself at home'
As a Latino, half raised in America. America is the greatest country. Any other Latino that doesn’t believe that, should try their home country for a year.
For me white privilege meant that I was held to a higher standard than my minority counter parts. I’m retired now but throughout my working career minorities were given more opportunities to succeed than white workers. Unfortunately instead of using those opportunities to advance their careers they used their black entitlement to break company rules.
Exactly. I was an only child(Dad on streets shooting heroin) raised in a Mexican dominant area, with a single mother on welfare. Oh, and she drank like a fish and snorted things. I made who I am and fight self worth still.
I’m white, I grew up poor, now I have a Lamborghini in the garage. Nobody was willing to pay me anything more than dirt, so I worked two full time entry level jobs, saved peanuts until I could start my own real estate investment company. I’m a faceless nameless person behind the company. Nobody knows my race and it doesn’t matter. If I had a dollar for every time “white privilege” was brought up as some special sauce to my success I could buy another rental. The reality is that I was just willing to bet on myself and work harder than any of my peers. Many marginalized groups today simply don’t bet on themselves because they are gate kept by the ideology of their own culture. They get told what they can and can’t be from their own people, and they believe it and remain victims to circumstance for their entire lives. Nobody is gatekeeping success based on color of skin. NOBODY.

This is because he isn't trying to make something true that isn't, he's simply appealing to what is actually true.
I agree it makes a huge difference. Same with Ben Shapiro.
Touché 👍🏻👏
Charlie is 100% correct. At the same time this kid is not a "Racebaiter". He is a young man asking questions and having a good discussion on topic of race today. Especially knowing what you pretty much KNOW he has been exposed to in "higher" education.
They call it higher learning because you'd have to be high to think it's an education.
Sky high learning.
I mostly agree, the kid didn't seem like a racebaiter but the question is almost always used by racebaiters. Seemed like he was asking it honestly so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
@juan abee You again, I told you what to do just self identify as a gay transgender person of color problem solved. Unless you're either a troll so everything you type is a lie or you are on the left... so everything you type is a lie.
He always goes with the Asian- American example, but most of them came to America from middle class backgrounds, they were not dragged there as slaves.
At least the young man was polite enough to listen to the answers to his questions.
"Because someone shared something on Facebook" could be the slogan for his entire generation.
Very well explained unfortunately so many won’t listen to facts.
To be fair, that kid wasn't any kind of race baiter. He asked his questions politely and didn't appeal to base emotions or attempt to whip up the audience. He behaved in an exemplary fashion for a public debate and Turning Point really ought to chance the clickbait-y title of the vid to reflect this
To be fair, you're totally trying to divert from the idea of the clip just because you do not WANT to agree with the stated facts.
@@ionutalbu6670 What? They never said anything in regard to Charlie's facts, but the title alone...
I think your response has some sort of bias present. When the left says something, you say the opposite I bet. You fell for the click-bait and didn't get what this comment was about because you hate the left so much you primed yourself into thinking your side won harder than it did. When someone doesn't agree with your side 100%, like the click bait title, you go into defense mode.
P.s. white privilege is a myth. I'm guessing you're going to go bias mode and assume I must be on the left because I pointed out your response was stupid.
@@marcusrosales3344 You think that my response is biased, you also assume that I am on the right side, you assume I disagree with everything on the left (I do not agree with the abortion law change, for example), you assume defence mode and tell me I fell for the clickbait after you actually clicked the link yourself and watched the clip and, lastly, I can explain how diversion works in case you, somehow, missed it. Bravo!
@@ionutalbu6670 Stupidest comment this week.
I agree. While I tend to go along with Charlie's positions and viewpoints on many issues, some of the titles of these videos exaggerate. That said, I do believe that white privilege is imaginary. I grew up in a white lower middle class Jewish home in Canada. Whilst some of our neighbours were always travelling to Cape Canaveral, Cape May, Cape Cod, Cape Hatteras, etc., the only capes we saw were the ones that George Reeves (Superman) and Adam West (Batman) wore on television. We had no money. Yet I really did not feel deprived. We learnt to appreciate what we did have. Some of the neighbour kids went to private parochial schools. We went to the local subsidised public schools. But it was there that I heard the Gospel, sang Christian hymns, prayed, and had teachers and principals praying for my salvation. And their prayers were answered🙂
I'm a middle aged white man and was born into a lower class family where my parents were in their early 20s and my father was an airman in the US Air Force. We lived in a trailer park and my parents had to sacrifice in order to feed and cloth me. My mom stayed home and my father worked on the base. They ate frozen waffles and macaroni and cheese so they could purchase baby food, diapers, etc. After my father separated from the military, we moved back to where they grew up and my father got a low paying tech job for Digital Equipment Corp. He busted his ass and my mother worked low end jobs to bring some extra money in and I grew up as a Gen-X'er and a latch key kid. My father worked hard and climbed the ladder and went to school to get his BS. My parents made good choices and we moved into the middle class. My parents had strict expectations for my younger sister and I on education. We both went to state college where I worked hard to get a degree in electrical engineering. I married right out of college and became a father a year later where the cycle repeated. I worked as a maintenance tech for a year while taking a class in C programming. Then then took a job doing tech support for a meager salary at a software company. I worked hard but sacrificed with my ex to support our growing family. I continued to learn and climbed the ladder to leave 5 years later as a senior software engineer. Several jobs later, a remarriage due to my ex's infidelity, a new wife and step son and now my wife and I are solidly top 5%'ers. Our boys are grown and we enjoy a great life of privilege together. Not privilege due to the color of our skin but privilege due to the sweat from our brows. She has a similar story growing up poor and from a broken home but rising out of it through education, hard work and good choices. We both came into this work in the lower class, poor but found the American dream through hard work and perseverance. Anyone can do it and the color of your skin is NOT a deterrent you are NOT a victim.
@Gab Exactly correct and I am proud of it. I'm also proud that neither of my boys have any criminal record, are productive and respectful young men, respect authority, etc. They were raised right. My oldest is a security guard supervisor and he was over the house last night talking about kids that he deals with and was saying how uncomfortable he would have been after my foot was inserted into his ass if he acted like these kids do these days... lol. He appreciates the strong upbringing which makes me happy to know that I did that right.
@Gab Well said and congrats to both of you for working hard and living the American Dream!
Excellent points. Thank you Charlie 👍🏼
I'd pay big $$$$ to see Charlie sit down with someone like Oprah! Now THAT would be worth seeing!!
Ben would opra wouldn’t.
Oprah the opressed black lesbian... Billionairess.
"Yes, but you see, no matter where I go and what I do, I'm Black, so the odds are stacked
against me from the beginning." ... /s/ Oprah Winfrey
NEVER gonna happen!!
When people talk about 'privilege', they're really talking about money.. and you usually hear about it from young people who are just starting out in life and don't have any money. Let's talk about the privilege of youth. I would give every penny I have to go back to being a 21 year old who could get out of bed in the morning and nothing hurts. To have that freedom, to not have the obligations and stress and just go to college a couple of hours a day and party all night.
Yes. The body aches are not fun at all. i grew up active too. Still, the hips and ribs will ache forever with no stopping.
Latino heritage, sure...... listen to his accent, he's American. He's been a victim of nothing.
The liberal lilt is a dead giveaway.
But he has a Colombia football shirt ha
I got Mexican in my blood but speak very limited Spanish and English is my native language.
He may have been an orphan raised in a living hell and also be a Latino with an American accent, or he could have been the child of a billionaire. The point Charlie is making here is that you CAN'T tell what someone has been through by looking at them(for most things obviously).
Oh yes he has. He's a victim of the liberal public indoctrination system, the liberal mainstream media and liberal social media platforms. This was most likely his first exposure to actual fact driven, truthful information.
This guy is so smart . I love how he explains and lays it out !
I wasn’t born in the United States but got here as fast as I could. My mother brought me here (legally) at 5 years old. She was a single mother raised 3 kids. Absolutely zero, zero, zero government help. Im Now 41, married three kids. My salary alone not considering my wife is just shy 100k. How is it possible for me to be better off than an African American just boggles my mind.
Good for you. Glad you made it.😊
@@rebekahnorris7392 thank you 🙏 😊
That is one very intelligent young man!!!! The WORLD is privileged to have him in it!!! He was so respectful and seems very genuine in the way that he asked the question. There is hope yet!!!
This is the best explanation I’ve ever heard.
whenever someone starts off their sentence "As a Latino" they already made themselves a victim.
This is billiant. Education of facts and truth. Bless you Charlie.
This was well debated by Charlie, I hope the young man who asked the question went back and continued the discussion with his peers.
Dude absolutely nailed it, every single point made about the social plight of America is spot on.
It's very sad when you have to re-education college in the art of common sense. 🤔
This needs to be a required class
I saw it on Facebook so it has to be true!
It’s nice to hear him talk without being shouted at and heckled.
I have always enjoyed the Turning Point Videos, but Mr. Kirk you must talk to your staff about some of the titling of your videos. The young man in this video was not a "Racebaiter" he was very calm, and respectful and was not even trying to " Outsmart " any one. This was very much a two sided conversation. I have noticed in the last couple videos the crowd has, for the most part, seem to be listening more, and yelling less at you Mr. Kirk. It seems the tides may be changing for the better in the minds of the young adults. But when your staff titles your videos incorrectly ,this can set back all the good you have done when it comes to trying to bring forth the truth. In many cases the video titles keep all this Racism , White Privilege out in the forefront just to keep the WORLD FIGHTING WITH ONE ANOTHER.😢 This is WONG.😢
GREAT JOB CHARLIE AND VERY WELL SPOKEN, GREAT EXPLANATION
Why do these students so desperately WANT their views to be the truth - I assume it's because that's all they know and reality is a hard pill to swallow.
Ya, it's all they know and their peers reinforce it
@@IndepenisDay I work at a college - it's so much worse than you can possibly imagine...
Because they have literally been brainwashed in school. They were never taught critical thinking skills and therefore, have no ability to reason. They just regurgitate what they've been told.
This is the result of programmed propaganda.
@@keenfire8151 and of course college students aren't experienced enough to know any better - the perfect useful idiots.
So damn eloquent, this video needs to be played in all schools and universities... this needs to be TAUGHT.
It saddens & angers me that young people talk so much about race.
I'm Gen X & we thought we were over this.
He basically ended with the famous govt mantra “ we are here to help” and showed ( or explained) how it backfired specifically against blacks.
I didn't backfire, it succeeded in its intent. It made a substantial portion of the black population dependent upon government largesse for its daily needs. And beholden to the democrat party. If the black population ever figures out how badly it has been used by the democrats I wouldn't give good odds for the long term survival of that party.
@@altairprime7895 and you are correct - blacks either haven’t figured it out or are just content living that way. When I was in the army reserves we had a bright black kid who our CSM offered a nice govt job of pay and benefits. The kids response was “welfare was good enough for my grandfather,and my dad and it is good enough for me. “. A very telling but sad response
How it backfired when democrats claimed to be here to help.
@@vespacheck It didn't backfire...they lied about it being for their benefit. Its intent was to make blacks dependent, not to help them. Welfare and The Great Society did more to destroy the black family unit than anything ever done to them before, including slavery. Because this time they accepted it willingly.
These government plans have not backfired, they have been wildly successful. Destruction of family works better when people sign up for it, a little cash and cheese.
Charlie Kirk you just broke down the left''s whole narrative in a nutshell!
Even his question is ridiculous. "I think I saw something on Facebook, someone shared, like a video or a picture. Could you elaborate?" That poor kid doesn't even know how good he has it. He's been brainwashed
Correct 100 percent, it’s about choices in life!
"America is racist". Compare to where exactly?
I was raised in L.A. and had friends of different ethnic groups. We never thought about our so called differences,now it seems there are those who do and are trying to get us to join in,hopefully others will not listen to these racist promoters and just let the wind blow.
god..I hate these clickbait titles. this was a really civil convo.
You can't get Charlie:
Too quick
Too fast
Too sharp
That last line is interesting. The biggest problem with the whole “system racism” thing isn’t exactly the concept itself, but rather poor wording… and I think there’s some common ground here that can be used to get somewhere in this conversation.
The idea that there are laws that are meant to keep people unable to move up in the world is objectively and provably false, however there are undoubtedly a ton of laws that incentivize people in poverty to remain in poverty, and encourage behavior counterproductive to reaching success.
Perhaps the method of reaching some form of solution is correcting the concept of systemic racism, rather than outright denying it. I would say that the term “systemic classism” is much more appropriate, because the system is set up to incentivize people to stay in their lane, and protect large corporations at the expense of small business owners.
That was a very well thought out opinion and well put. I think your on to something. 😊
Thank you Charlie Kirk for teaching truth
Being an "oppressed minority" and benefiting from taxpayers dollars appears to be a career aspiration for many a young entrepreneur.
the only doors that open automatically for me are at the grocery store
These titles need to be less overtly sensationalized. The guy asked a very simple question. That doesn't make him a "RACEBAITER".
The richest man in the world is African-American and the 2nd richest man is Cuban-American
Wish more people would hear and digest the truth.
Great points! Gov't intervention rarely results in positive outcomes!
*_Charlie sticking it to the bigoted, woke virtue signallers as always ..._*
The Jim Crowe laws were only prevalent in the Southeastern part of the U.S. (former slave states). The vast majority of states never had slavery or Jim Crowe laws.
During the Jim Crowe era they all voted for Democratic party.
The racists have always been democrats...AKA leftists...AKA Collectivists.
All states actually did have slavery of some sort. The laws between the states were different but still had (past tense) slavery. However as you mentioned not all states had Jim Crowe Laws.
@@chrish7336 no Sir, there have never been more than 15 states that allowed slavery. All of the original colonies began abolishing slavery following the ratification of the constitution, afterwards, slavery was restricted 100% to southern states. Holding a person in slavery within a free state was a very serious crime and simply did not happen.
The U.S. Congress made it illegal to U.S. American ships in the slave trade, by 1820, the penalty for doing so was death by hanging.
@@jeancaron9325 indeed they did, the Jim Crowe south and the democratic south were one in the same.
Truth is beautiful. Keep telling it Charlie.
Charlie Kirk a great voice of logic and truth.
it astounds me that so called "educated" young men and women in universities(students) stand up in these forums and actually believe what they are saying..It is indeed all about good choices we make . Yes people do fall on hard times,that is true; but it is still down to the good ,or bad choices made by the individual.
Most of the problem can be attributed to these young people just parroting what they've been taught, not just in college but from grade school on up. Most teachers have their own agendas, don't encourage finding facts and never give the other side of any argument.
Charlie Kirk is entirely correct on every point this kid brings up. Hopefully some of what he say to him sinks in! But I wouldn't bet the farm on it...
Beautifully said.
As a white American, a latino, especially an illegal one, and blacks will get free things over me any day and the more kids, the more free stuff. I experienced it when I lost my small business I started at age 16 when forced to close during covid and as a tax payer all these years, I was denied any temporary help.
That is textbook discrimination.
I'm not sure why conservatives don't make this tie... The left calls out institutional racism... It's not specifically racism as it's more classism, but for sure affects a large swath of black people. But those laws charlie mentioned regarding benefits doled out to people who are unmarried but if they get married they lose the benefits. That's institutional "racism". There are tons of programs out there that by design (intended or unintended) propogate the continuance of the poor black community. These are all leftist programs btw that are under the guise of helping. It's called the soft bigotry of low expectations. "These poor black people will never make it without our help". That's racism. And if anyone, white, black or other falls into that trap, they become wholly dependent on the system and it creates generations of communities that struggle to get out from under it.
Most do, they are just shut down when they say anything against welfare.
Free money is racism?
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 Nothing is free bud. Someone has to pay for it.
And it's not just "free money". It's the stipulations that come with it. Like don't get a job. Don't get married. If you get a job, you better make less than a certain amount. But the amount is so low it's more affordable to just stay on state benefits and be poor. Once you take a job you also have to pay for daycare and gas and everything else. Depending on how much the job pays you lose your food cards, lose your state funded medical insurance benefits, lose your monthly checks. Guess what, as little as all of those benefits are in total, it's still more than you might make in a job after you incure extra bills like the gas and daycare previously mentioned. Just saying.
People can get out of it, they do it all the time, but it's hard, and scary, and the benefits are used as a trap to keep people voting a certain way.
Turning point, please stop using these click bait titles. It hurts you. This was a respectful gentleman with a poor view of the world (imo). These titles do you more harm than good.
Its called the Cobra act. No one can be refused medical treatment in America.
Privilege doesn’t come from skin color. Privilege comes from wealth and nepotism.
Charlie is right about the Democratic party, but he is wrong if he thinks the GOP is any better.
They (The GOP) sure are by comparison, but I wouldn't trust that they wouldn't have pulled some crap if they were the ones in power for the last 40 years.
Last I checked, the GOP isn't pushing to cut kids genitals off, reject biology, and demonize an entire race.
Why are 95% of black people brainwashed into voting democrat in this country then?
When you have policies which favour the poor, they incentivise people to remain poor.
Thank goodness for the voice of reason.
My Grand father fought the Japanese in WW11. I went to several of his Army reunions. Some of the other vets would single me out & tell me that my dad saved their lives. They said that dad was a stone cold killer; until the enemy gave up. When they gave up, he protected them. Evidently he often said that there has been too much killing today. Those are the words of his combat friends. So, I guess, "Fight to the death until you no longer have to. Then become a healer & not a killer."
Charlie spot on once again.
It is not racism, it is people refusing, as individuals, to take responsibility for their own lives and decisions. The left has so promoted the “I’m oppressed, I’m a victim, I can’t do anything because other people won’t give me a chance” mentality that it has destroyed any incentive to improve one’s self or even try, and has increased frustration, anger, and hopelessness, which in turn causes people to commit violence. The left always claim to be ‘helping’, yet their message is always “hate the guy over there, go ahead, hate them!”
Not the way to improve anything.
How can anybody argue any of that logic?
Go Charlie, nice to hear reality being spoken Well done.
A man who tells the truth so confidently and yet doesn’t condescend nor insult is such a turn on. Get in my bed Charlie! 😩
Bravo, very well said Charlie
This was a good debate and I enjoyed it
Thank you Mr. Kirk good sir. If you affect even one person for the better that's a job well done.
Charlie states that out of wedlock births for blacks is 71% nationwide. I've read that in some inner cities that number is 90%.
This kid looks like a Hot Tub Time Machine Jeff Goldblum.
He's been taught to speak in racebaiting terms. This is what political correctness in language DOES.
I consider myself HUMAN. End of ridiculous, divisive identity politics
I have a neighbor that says I have white privilege...after i asked how exactly do i have white privilege when we both live in the same building...so then her next attack was colonizer. ...the list is endless...her attitude changed when I gave her a piece of cake.
What kind of cake?
The type of cake is important, if all it takes is a slice of vegan carrot cake to calm people down that's not so bad then eh?
@@jescollo lol carrot
@@mikewhitman745 that's crazy because I gave her carrot cake..not vegan cake.
There's not a single race, ethnicity, or culture who hasn't "colonized" their neighbor's land to some degree. Every human being on Earth currently occupies 'stolen land.' So many are like your neighbor and insist that stolen land exclusively involves Western colonizers and poc victims. Stuff and nonsense.
Build a house and invite people to come live with you and then listen to them complain to you "why do you have a bigger bedroom. You said make yourself at home'
There are privileges in this country but has nothing to do with color , the privilege is being free to work hard for what you want 🇺🇲
The man asking the question is too sassy to be taken seriously.
Privilege: It used to be called blessing, and we used to thank God for our blessings.
It’s not a “race” thing, it’s a “political” thing.
As a Latino, half raised in America.
America is the greatest country.
Any other Latino that doesn’t believe that, should try their home country for a year.
F A C T S !!!
👍😉😎👍
KEEP SPITTING THE TRUTH CHARLIE KIRK !!!
👍💪🤴💪👍
Wow that was a lot to take in. I wonder if that guy rethought his life after that.
For me white privilege meant that I was held to a higher standard than my minority counter parts. I’m retired now but throughout my working career minorities were given more opportunities to succeed than white workers. Unfortunately instead of using those opportunities to advance their careers they used their black entitlement to break company rules.
Actually the way he put it for a moment was pretty impressive. He say WE put them in urban areas and give them welfare.
Exactly. I was an only child(Dad on streets shooting heroin) raised in a Mexican dominant area, with a single mother on welfare. Oh, and she drank like a fish and snorted things. I made who I am and fight self worth still.
TRUTH!
I’m white, I grew up poor, now I have a Lamborghini in the garage. Nobody was willing to pay me anything more than dirt, so I worked two full time entry level jobs, saved peanuts until I could start my own real estate investment company. I’m a faceless nameless person behind the company. Nobody knows my race and it doesn’t matter. If I had a dollar for every time “white privilege” was brought up as some special sauce to my success I could buy another rental. The reality is that I was just willing to bet on myself and work harder than any of my peers. Many marginalized groups today simply don’t bet on themselves because they are gate kept by the ideology of their own culture. They get told what they can and can’t be from their own people, and they believe it and remain victims to circumstance for their entire lives.
Nobody is gatekeeping success based on color of skin. NOBODY.
Logic prevails over feelings again👍
Fee-ling because they make you pay spiritual fee
Spot on as usual
