I got offered a ride once walking to work. I took it, she was actually pretty nice. I've been offered three times since but I'm more used to walking so I haven't taken any of those offers. Anyways, in smaller cities, hitchhiking is still quite common. Though now that I think about it, I am a white woman and I was younger than 20 at the time so I probably don't come across as threatening, not that anyone should.
Actually some people still do. I had a friend, who traveled the country via hitchhiking, and hopping on trains. Many people still pick up people. I mean I personally wouldn't, especially because I am a petite women. But many people still do. When I was homeless too, I even got offered rides by people to bring me places and or help me out. So it definitely still happens.
Black people lie way too much though, and when you get some who call them out and tell the truth they get called "race traitors" lol. Admitting that they've declared war on everyone else and once again proving they're the most racist ones.
Right now it’s the easiest time in history to contact other people and he chose to…do this instead? It’s so easy to connect to people period, and there’s plenty of black activists that would love to be talked to about these issues.
He's not the first "journalist" to do this. I own John Howard's Griffin book, Black Like Me. I didn't think people kept doing this. Why not interview black people instead of acting like this?
Also Soul Sister, Grace Halsell, 1969, living in Harlem and Mississippi ... Both books were revelations. At the time, it was a worthy effort. Today, not so much.
It's almost like when black people tell white people there's no possible way they can ever experience racism we have to pretend like we're black. Maybe black people shouldn't say that because it's not true. Maybe they should listen to white people when we talk about our experience with racism as well but they don't. So this is the links that we go to.
Because people who are not part of group X have a weird perception that Group X are lying about their experiences and require a member of the priviledged group to co-sign and validate their experiences
I can't imagine anybody driving past a man in a cheap afro wig and horrifically mismatched foundation would be thinking, 'that guy seems legit, I guess I'll just stop and give him a ride'. Also, does anyone even still hitchhike in the US? (I'm in Europe so I genuinely have no idea).
Not really? Hitchhiking has not been a common thing for a while, especially with higher crime rates and due to ride sharing technology nowadays. I know it was pretty common in the 80s and 90s, but not recently.
Its really uncommon. Ive helped 3 people in about 15 years and over the course of 8 years taking public transport, i was offered a ride twice. Once by a nice lady. Once in an emergency.
@@waltzthroughlifeBut that’s not what the commenter you’re replying to is describing. They’re saying a non-muslim, white woman wearing a hijab on a train does not suddenly understand what it’s like to be a victim of islamophobia. Marriage into a muslim family was never mentioned.

Gonna be honest, even if his blackface wasn't immediately clockable, I think the average person even from a car away would notice that the vibes were off. Even if hitchhiking was something people still did, most people would notice something was off.
It’s amazing how you can learn about a whole group of people being lynched for riding their bike in the wrong neighborhood or something during Jim Crow and then be like “hmmm…..I wonder if racism is real….”
While I understand the argument you're making, race relations have evolved since then. An analysis of race relations in the Jim Crow era wouldn't accurately describe them as they are today.
@@auldthymer I think even that happens a lot less often than you believe, both because of white-on-black racism dwindling and because arresting someone without cause leaves a paper trail. But yes, that would be more likely than a black person being lynched just for entering a white neighborhood.

The fact that he writes for right wing publications like The Spectator and The Daily Caller makes me think that he’s going to claim that he didn’t experience any “real” racism, and therefore Black people are overreacting. Just a hunch.
@@Molly-iw1rc Have you ever seen that awful show Black/White produced by Ice Cube? It was a reality show where two families swapped races. The white step dad was super racist and used the n-word.

He probably did experience racism, but because he doesn’t think using the n-word is racist, he obviously had a pretty skewed view of what is and what isn’t racist.
@@CarysCreatesThings I've never seen it but it does sound awful 😭 that's another thing, a white person has to acknowledge they don't already understand racism black people face in order to learn about what racism is to black people, but racist white people already think they know better because they are racist and don't respect black people😭 it's just a cycle of stupidity and ignorance
I would argue that "birthday cake" flavor is just funfetti. If you are out in the world and order something in the flavor "birthday cake" (i.e. a starbucks cake pop), do you not receive a funfetti one? Alternatively, without the sprinkles mixed in, you still are left with a unique flavor, which could also just be called "sweet" (its vanilla and sugar, akin to a sugar cookie). Voice Behind the Camera is correct, "birthday cake" is a flavor, but Benedict is not technically incorrect about it also being a genre. "Birthday Cake" can be likened to the square vs. rectangle debate: every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square.
@@kate_6436 It was because the original recipe called for a specific brand of chocolate called "German's sweet chocolate" named after Samuel German (who wasn't German). In fact, the correct name is supposed to be "German's Chocolate Cake", dropping the apostrophe and 's' makes things very confusing.
I vaguely remember (I think it was on Tales from the bottle?) where a white guy got super tanned to the point he looked like a very burnt man and pretended to be black and also wrote a book about it. I think it was during the 50's or 60's. Very bonkers.
There is a book named "Black Like Me". I don't know if you are talking about that but, the book is about a white guy who pretended to be black and hitchhiked across the south.
He won't show the photo because he knows we will pick apart why he doesn't look black and point out no one would pick up some crazy person with the worst shade match outside of the 00s and a party city wig in the middle of the day.
How is this not an Alan Partridge sketch “When has anything been solved by listening to others? The only way to understand a topic as complex as racism, is to do blackface.”
This guy’s book about race is more important than mine (a mixed raced American woman who grew up as one of the only people of color in her hometown). Ok got it😂😂😂😂😂 I bet they clocked his wig like no other
This was done in the 60’s. He took pills to change his skin tone to that of an ethically black man. He did not use makeup. 4:44 He traveled throughout the south. He wrote a book about his experience.
Unfortunately, people in positions of power maintain that power by prioritizing in-group voices, and fundamentally it is up to the people with power to decide to give it up. If you could take the power, then you in fact have the power. Like, in this example, if racist white people were the type to platform and respect the voices of black people, then are they even racist? The issue with the way this video addresses this topic is it frames racism as an innate quality that can just be bred out of society. The bigger issue with this book is that the power dynamics of race today have changed dramatically, and it misses the point of the civil rights movement-it’s about providing inalienable rights such that whether there are or are not racists in the world is inconsequential because people should not be subjugated.
There are definitely different forms of racism. Colonial racism, segregation, Apartheid, mocking, patronising etc. etc. It would be ridiculous for example to compare the racism levelled at Eric Adams with the experience of an inhabitant of a ghetto, an immigrant at the border or a Palestinian in Gaza or the West Bank.
Ohhh, ok. So this is gonna come out that its all made up, right? He keeps refusing to prove any of his stories, doubles down on every bigoted thing he says, and keeps telling people to buy the book. It's a disgusting cash-grab, a made up story with a provocative premise and he still comes out the better for it. YUUUUUUUCK
Why shouldn't he attempt to live the experience? He may well have listened to black people's experiences as well. Günther Walraff did the same thing disguised as a turc in Germany in the 80's. Except he did more than just hitchhike.
Obviously the “journalist” is so out of line. But hearing a brit talk so much about American racism while in no way acknowledging discrimination or racism in the UK is very ironic.
How is British racism relevant to the story whatsoever though? Racism is a problem in most places. Was he supposed to list every country that experiences racism before speaking about America lol
also i really like vanilla cake. boring. I think cakes you have on your birthday are not necessarily a universal flavor but "birthday cake" is absolutely a flavor (vanilla, rainbow sprinkles, extra sweet frosting)
Having said all that, it would probably be more eye opening for people to read/listen to people like Adolph L Reed Jr or Cedric Johnson (among others). Just my tuppence worth ;-)
Seems like a crazy mix of things lol. Layers of (boxed) yellow cake are stacked with a fruity frosting of whipped topping, pineapple/mandarin , vanilla instant pudding, and pecans
My favorite cake and the objectively best one is Red Velvet Cake. It's not stuffy or messy, it's delicious without going overboard. It looks sick, too, which definitely doesn't hurt it. There's so many cakes that are great but I'd say no to some days, but not Red Velvet. Red Velvet is love, Red Velvet is life.
Honestly thought this was going to be like how people pretend to be women in online gaming so they get an idea of what it's like. Blackface is uh... an extreme take. In this day and age they could have achieved the same thing by having the white journalist and a black journalist or even a civilian/layperson try to hitch rides and document the differences they encountered. This makes me wonder if the book promotion is actually part of the "project" because it's definitely started some discussion.
Bro could have just... asked african american/POC people what their experiences have been. Y'know. Genuine experiences of racism. But instead of considering engaging with an actual person of color he thought the best thing to do would be... be racist. Idk man. This one fried my brain.
But...people don't hitchhike in the US. Like seriously, no one is going to pick anyone up.
I think the increase in crime rate has definitely had impact on people offering to pick up hitchhikers here.
