      UrbanGirl Paris if you are not white you can not be a racist because white supremacy lives point blank period no other race have as much power as white people. Racism is a system to create a system you have to have power FACTS! People of color (non-white) can definitely be prejudiced but not racist

      For one thing a 2 second google search says his claim about "profitable exports" is egregiously wrong. Not sure how it is possible for a "race to own an export". But here are the most profitable:
      Machines, engines, pumps: US$205.8 billion (13.7% of total exports)
      Electronic equipment: $169.8 billion (11.3%)
      Aircraft, spacecraft: $131.1 billion (8.7%)
      Vehicles: $127.1 billion (8.4%)
      Oil: $106.1 billion (7.1%)
      Medical, technical equipment: $83.4 billion (5.5%)
      Plastics: $60.3 billion (4%)
      Gems, precious metals, coins: $58.7 billion (3.9%)
      Pharmaceuticals: $47.3 billion (3.1%)
      Organic chemicals: $38.8 billion (2.6%)

    • @JockoJonson17
      @JockoJonson17 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also, this is a 6:21 monologue of "complaining" in which he accuses others of being "spoiled complainers".
      The housing discrimination history is spot on though. Spot on about Goldman Sachs as well.
      The claim that "The Movie Exodus got Mike Brown killed" is just LOL.

    • @JockoJonson17
      @JockoJonson17 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kita Barbie No, no race "owns electronic equipment" as an invention. It is preposterous to even assert that it does. Which is why his argument (in some respects) is ridiculous.
      Also, google the phrase "on the shoulders of giants". Any rational artist, scientist, or inventor acknowledges the vast history of work that influenced them.

    Some interesting ideas but Jesse Williams needs to get off of the Michael Brown incident as an example of a
    racist encounter. The facts, as established by the testimony of black witnesses and video tape, is that Michael Brown strong armed a store owner and then assaulted a police officer trying to steal his gun. Michael Brown then again confronted that police officer when pursued.and was killed. No racism just how violent behavior leads to justified legal violence against you.

    • @mgossett34
      @mgossett34 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sir let me educate you on the Mike Brown case Mike Brown was shot by a police officer from 135 feet away about seven times he was no longer a threat to the police officers if he’s 135 feet away secondly the officer that shot him was unaware that he had strong-armed a man at a convenience store these are both facts . And once he was gun down no first aid was rendered that’s why black people are upset so please know what you’re talking about before you speak

    • @mgossett34
      @mgossett34 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Let me make a correction it wasn’t 135 feet it was 35 feet away from the police officer when he was shot six times
