Few years ago, I worked at a diner as a cashier for over a year without a raise. And then they hired a blonde tall beautiful white girl that I had to train. She proudly told me how much she was getting paid and when I realized she was getting paid more, I asked for a raise but they turned me down. So I left and never looked back. But I was shocked when they called me to come back to work because she stole every penny and disappeared. Ofcourse I again said no, never.
Non of that’s surprising. The thievery devoid of any consequences is another example of White Privilege unfortunately. However, had you stole anything you’d have been prosecuted expediently to the fullest extent of the Law. It’s a great thing that you quit never returning because you avoided easily becoming a “fall guy” for the blonde 👱♀️. All it takes is for one White to lie on an honest, innocent Black person-it’s a wrap 😬😩
I'm a white woman and I was asked to train a newly hired coworker, I found out that they paid her more, she was hispanic. I don't know what your circumstances are, this girl may have had more experience or education, for which she could demand more at hire. I know that's not fair to you...
“To control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you.”dr Henrik Clarke
Yes but know this we haven't been conquered know that and please don't forget it. And prison and chains are not needed when some of our people do that to their selves very well. But this was very informative I'm surprised to see these speak the truth about their selves. They need a work shop for other whites to look at their selves as well this is needed bad.
Dont forget to throw in a thousand years of slavery from Arabs Europeans Dutch Spanish conquerors and general hatred and evil and systematic racism and others. I am sure I missed some nationalities.
Thanks for the kind words Oliver, when I started this project getting white folks to discuss race on camera was a bit different from today. :) Peace and love to you and yours.

I like how people are blatantly stating their experiences. The thing that hurts me the most as a Black person is when my experience is denied and not treated as a reality.
“If you don’t understand Racism/white supremacy - what it is and how it works - everything else that you do understand will only confuse you.” - Neely Fuller, Jr.
Indeed. The Caicasian superiority doctrine has infiltrated the very fabric of society to the point where atleast 90% of information has been contaminated by their perspective
Lets be honest, 99% of the problems in the black community is self inflicted. Babies out of wedlock, bad parenting or lack of, bad code of ethics. Look at the most successful group of Americans ASIAN MALES (Not White people), they are successful as a group because they prioritize a very disciplined lifestyle, they stay in school, they don’t gang bang, they take care of communities they live in. My grandmother grew up poor but they took care of their homes and community and kept it clean; they said when the blacks moved in they threw their trash everywhere and didn’t take care of their living areas. Black people bring it on themselves.
It’s amazing that they say their ancestors (the Europeans) “had to give up” their identities. Correction: they chose to give it up. African slaves HAD to give up their identities.
Maybe not all, but a lot of them didn't have many options. My great grandpa literally changed his last name to escape persecution as he fled civil war from his home country.
@Anus Paynuss I don’t know why you’re watching this educational video since you’re clearly not learning anything from it or either you didn’t watch it at all
Indentured, crimminal acts of kidnapping, human trafficking are all different things regardless to who does it.. There is no other culture thats indured the savagery or evil inhumane acts from other cultures than the melanated man.. Individuals who's foundational beliefs ends with isms, dont have a clue as to the humanities of life afforded us all.. They will never understand and always be mess starters..
@Anus Paynuss It is a fact that all people sale their own into slavery. The Irish and English have done so. However, the European Slave Trade was particularly brutal. If you care to learn, watch “Underground” or “The Underground Railroad” or even “Roots.” If ancient Africans comprehended how cruel American slavery was, they probably won’t have done it.
I've been at several jobs where my coworkers didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. They were promoted and I was the subject of constant criticism.
Whites routinely get promoted to supervisors and managers with absolutely no people skills, no REAL/ACTUAL knowledge of what the job entails to be done properly, and couldn't PROPERLY supervise or manage their way out of a paper bag. Not to even mention nepotism promotions.
@@bluesquirrel3919 You know what else happens? You are asked to train the new person and once they are trained you find out they are given a position higher than you. WTF 🤬. I’ve seen it happen 3 times and experienced it once.
Yes imagine not having to think about your damn race all the time..I had that experience when I lived in Sydney Australia. Wonderful white people there.
@Rose Goodwin honey are you trying to tell me that you're not actually ashamed to be white? 🤔. Although that's a good thing, I still can't see how you couldn't possibly be ashamed to be white. If the roles were reversed, I would most certainly be ashamed to be black. Some have no conscience of course.
@Rose Goodwin Hi Rose, I am not ashamed or proud of my race, or where I was born. I did not have anything to do with either. You did not have anything to do with your race or nationality so there is nothing to be ashamed or proud of.
I respect the fact that the people in this video are honest. I am black and grew up in a predominatelly white small town in New Jersey. Because I was an athlete, I had a certain amount of respect. My parents came from the Jim Crow south and were just trying to survive. As I look back, I realize that I grew up in an isolated situation. There were white people who had power , but because of my isolated neighborhood, I never knew who they were. I didn't know what any of my classmates parents did or what they were about.
Holy shit, the woman who said she gets pulled over for speeding and never gets tickets. I've been given a speeding ticket when I wasn't even speeding!! I tried to fight it in court and the judge sided with the police officer despite him lying about tracking my speed with a speed gun. He wasn't even carrying one when he pulled me over. The judge said that even though he wasn't carrying a speed gun (I proved he lied about that), that she believed he was able to tell how fast I was going based on his experience. Ridiculous.
I've been given 3 spending tickets, 1 for reckless driving and 1 for running two stop signs in my own neighborhood. All were bogus. All upheld by judges. White privilege also spares them the costs $$$ of being Black.
I will tell the truth im a white man and a wuz a. Out law most of my life I have broke the law a lot a lot I remember when I wuz 23 years old I wuz driving drunk again it is my 6 dui so when the police got me again I beat the cop up really bad and my sentence wuz 15 years in prison but the judge instead gave me 3 months in a boot camp I believe if I wuz black there is no dout I would have got the 15 years im sorry if that but I no being white did that
Went to the store with a white friend long ago (teenagers), we split up, they followed me around the store while she was the one stealing, and she got away with it...LOL
Oh yes. I had the same experience in high school. I was brought along to distract from them stealing. When I realized this my heart broke but I learned my lesson going forward.
@@carlac9782 Thank you for sharing. It goes to show how crafty and well versed they are when it comes to racism and how they will make it work for them.
I never thought about it except I'm a redhead and burn easily. But when I was 13 we moved from California to rural Mississippi. My younger brother and I were the only white kids on a crowded bus. I was the only white kid in packed classroom until someone came in and said I belonged in the accelerated class. I walked into the other class and they were all white, all 9 of them.
“The privilege of having that space in your mind free to think about other things” OH MY GOD!! THAT is the exact wording I’ve been looking for to describe the subtlest (and biggest) impact of racism on Black people! The freedom to think, live, and prosper outside of it is something Black people wish we could do.
Being nearly 65 years of age,I grew up with the outward forms of racial hatred and prejudice. It was in your face.But looking back as a Black person I realize the more softer and subtle forms of racism can be just as devastating. Even to the point of changing or shaping the trajectory of one's life. One experience from my own life.With the help of a white friend of my mother, our family made the decision to move into a predominately white neighborhood in the Bronx. My parents realized the housing conditions and educational system in our old predominately Black neighborhood were deteriorating. That was in September of 1967.I was 11years old about to enter the 6th grade.My new school had three 6th grade classes. My mother walked me to school and registered me.The only blip that I picked up on was when the person who registered us looked confused.You see my mother was a very fair French-speaking creole from Louisiana. She could easily pass for White.I looked Biracial. All the lady asked for was personal information and we were done.I was into my new class for 3 weeks until the first parent teachers meeting. My mother had a chance encounter with another white parent whose daughter was also in the 6th grade.I had gone to use the bathroom.When my mother mentioned that I was in class 6-3,the woman looked confused. Why my daughter is in class 6-1.Thats the top class, the woman said. Why did they put your son in 6-3?,thats where they put the Blacks and the Puerto Ricans.They could have put your son in the middle class6-2 if there was no room for 6-1.My mother saw me coming but motioned for me to stay put.My mother was beside herself.Please madame she said to her new friend, tell me more.Boy did she.When we returned home my mother was crying. I never imagined the classes were ranked from high to low,she said.You deserve to be in 6-1.Now she realized why the registrar didn't request my records from the previous 5th grade.Her mind was already made up as to my placement. If the registrar had looked, my reading and math scores were nearly perfect. My report card was excellent. The next day,with me in tow,my mother went back to the school and demanded to see the principal. She laid my school records on the desk.Now please put my son in 6-1 sir.Well Mrs. Griffith,Frederick has to take a mini math,vocabulary and reading comprehension test.Why wasn't i told this when I registered my son, she asked.The principal paused then said,well I leave that to the discretion of the registrar during your initial interview. I took the exam on the spot in another room. My mother and I sat there anxiously awaiting the results. Finally the principal returned. Mrs Griffith, I will make room for your son for 6-1.I don't think he will have any problem catching up to his classmates. I didn't get a single question wrong on the test.Perfect scores.The difference was like night and day.In the 6-3 class,I felt like I wasn't being challenged. The teacher was just going through the motions. In the 6-1 class I was challenged by the teacher and my classmates. I was the only Black kid in the class. I thrived.Come to find out this was an under the table Advanced placement class.These kids were already preparing for junior high and high school. I thrived.For the first time I felt like I was on equal footing with my White classmates and given the respect to go with it.My confidence and self esteem grew by leaps and bounds.Most of these kids were placed in the top 7th grade class in junior high school with the option of skipping to the 9th grade. I decided to go through the normal progression.But I believe that experience truly changed my life for the better. It changed my mother's life too.She decided to get involved in the school activities. After all even after I graduated from 6th grade,I still had a younger sister in the same school who was three years younger. At my 6th grade graduation, the principal shook my hand. Frederick, you and your mother have made me a better educator more than you know.Besides,he said,your mother and I had a nice one on one talk.When we returned home I asked my mother this.Mama what did you and the principal talk about?Oh a lot of things.But mainly the screening process of all new kids who transfer from other schools,she said.She told him straight up that she believed a lot of the Black and Spanish kids who were transfers were shortchanged and automatically put into the lower classes without talking into account their report cards and reading and math scores from the last grade.And that they should all be allowed to take the same mini exam that you took, she said.She added that the principal should take into account some of the language barriers of some of the Spanish kids at that time and to evaluate and give whatever help that might be needed. My mother didn't speak English until the age of 7 so she understood the challenges.She finally added that she believed the principal was a fair and decent person who wouldn't intentionally discriminate based on race but that he had an obligation to make sure that those he supervise don't do so as well.
@@melissaisrael3905 Thank you.It has been a journey of self discovery up to the present day.Would you believe that it was the interaction with the Black Panthers around 1965 when they set up shop in my Bronx neighborhood.They encouraged us youngsters to read the works of scholars like Dr. John Henrik Clarke,Dr Yosef Ben Jochannan,James Baldwin,Richard Wright,W.E B. Dubois and so on.My Parents understood that I needed a solid mainstream education but I also need to be self taught.The Black Panthers made it clear that nothing could be gained by hate and ignorance but that knowledge and truth is a thing of beauty.My father further strengthened this by exposing his three children to different cultures around the world.My experience in Japan was a revelation in terms of preserving one's history and cultural heritage.
@@liamwinchesterchasten2229 Thank you.I don't think people realize how important the four pillars of human existence is to help increase the outcomes of helping people develop into happy,healthy(mentally&physically) productive human beings.They are INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND most importantly SOCIETY. And the need for POSITIVE RECIPROCAL REINFORCEMENT amongst the four pillars. In American society, its people are told that only the love,support and encouragement of a child's parents are all that is needed. Not from the family. NOT from the community. Not from the most important and powerful component, the society. Parents are expected to go at it alone.But parents need help once the child goes out the door. The more sources a human can get emotional support and encouragement from the better. But we have a society where those who are in positions of power to make a difference in a person's life are becoming more and more cynical and partake in the demonization of others.So now America is a breeding ground for neurosis and psychosis. It is not sustainable. And if this trend isn't reversed we will be on the verge of collapse.
The honesty in the video from the people that answered the question was an eye opener. You rarely get this type of reaction when race is put on the table like this.
Not according to senator Lindsey Graham with his lying self and not to possibly the next African American president, I hope not. I can't think of the brothers name republican if I was a republican he still wouldn't get my vote. But this is a good start for them, at least don't ignore it address your problem and fix it.
.... and therein lies the greatest challenge for Americans. We have been programmed to believe that we are God's CHOSEN CHRISTIAN NATION and that we are SUPERIOR and FAVORED by the Almighty above all others. And to make sure that image and belief ingrains itself into our collective psyche and DNA our governments, schools, corporations and religions have DELETED and/or BURIED the TRUTH about our CRIMES against HUMANITY.
I don't agree. The conclusions are all related by the same 'racism' promoted propaganda. The conditioning runs deep. The observations are such blanket nonsense.

I have worked in sundown towns because I travel for work. The things I experienced in Indiana scared me. 1 example is, day we were leaving someone called the cops (in Bedford Indiana) on me and my wife because we were picking up rocks from the ditch in front of the hotel we were staying at . The hotel staff said it was fine. We were picking up rocks and fossils everytime we went outside and walked around. Cop comes in behind me as I was pulling back into the parking lot to tie my tarp down to my truck bed. The manager tells them that if they ever get a call about rocks, not to respond. The cop looks at us and asks if it was us. The manager told him to leave. He still wanted to do something about it even though we had permission from the hotel to grab the rocks. Another example is that same hotel manager warned me to not travel through Martinsville Indiana OMW home. I ended up having to go south. We went through Orleans. That was scary as well.
Me and my white boyfriend (ex now) were on the side of the road getting ready to go for a hike and a cop pulled up , blocked us in, threw my ex against the car and chicken winged him then proceeded to search him and through our car. Why do you think that was?
Gee, how did you make it through?🙄 How about my daughter coming home from kindergarten crying because her friend told her she could no longer be her friend because she was white? The most racists people on the planet are black people!!! That's an observable fact!!!!!!

@Luna Walker Maybe it wasn't but just because cops don't fuck with YOU because of YOUR skin color, doesn't mean it doesn't happen to us. Let me put it to you like this, the history of your people is this country is not shaped in a way where you have always been seen as the enemy. You are not the target of police. Police train to keep people that look like you, safe from people that look like me. You could likely 💀 me, lie, and get away with it. It's not your fault and you didn't make it that way. There are simply just many "safe" places for you, that Im not welcomed and never will be welcomed. I can name a few off the top of my head.
Damn this doc has really changed my life. Finally feel relieved from the constant gaslighting of 2022. Whew. These people are just racists and they know it. Thank you.
The premise of the video is false: "whiteness" is not a social construct, it is a descriptor for one's genetic lineage. The only way to "become" white is through evolution. Ironically, the critical race theorists who made this video are the only people who are gaslighting anyone.
This is a powerful documentary and a start to the types of conversations Americans need to have to diminish racism. Thank you to all the people who participated in this.
There will be no such thing racism will never be a full disregards it will never go away it's like cancer it will continuously manifest itself and the reason why is because everybody has their own opinion in their own ways of thinking and because race is a real issue color is a real issue it'll always be subjected to racism
Very good. TV tries to "sugarcoat" too much. Once we as a society can come to the discussion table and truly discuss issues without condemning/shouting or shunning one another we might be able to solve some of our most painful issues.

Man, this is probably the best documentary I have ever viewed on this topic. The level of introspection is amazing. I especially love how the human ability to look at ones self and be honest about it is shone thru. As a black person it just reinforced to me the sad fact that I have to constantly educate myself to navigate the racial divide but still strive to be a good human to all humans. And will have to do so for all of my life.

White is a classification that when you are white, you don’t need to directly know about privilege to enjoy it. Deny it, and enjoy it.
The “guilt complex” is also what walls most ‘white’ people from learning that racism is a systemic structure than a social construct. Yes, it can be applied in social situations but for these situations to take form it has to be a dominant power system that reinforces the idea of race domination in its own foundation. Once everyone stop participating in this system than true change can come about…
I think more people of 'this' persuasion would like quietly to support it. And are confident enough that the internet media age can never compete with brawn supported by media's interwebs.
To know and understand ourselves we must get back to our ancient knowledge, the knowledge of our ancestors. We have been educated to think like everyone else, but we are not like everyone else. Our experience is as unique as they come. We must get back to our ancient knowledge!
This was such a bizarre step into the twilight zone for me. Especially hearing white people talk about their traffic situations with cops. Hearing a grown man say he has only been stopped by cops 4 times in his life, then reflecting on how often my father was stopped by the cops for no reason. I legit remember one cop stopping us, and then he accused my father of driving too slow- 3mph below the speed limit. My father apologized, explained that he was driving his daughters to church and wanted his precious cargo to reach safely. The cop let him off with a warning. 👀. He got stopped really often - always 2or three miles below the speed limit, was a teetotaler, etc. They stopped him for "looking suspicious" aka being black in a white people's town
Reading some of these comments is just sad... Its sad because people really don't understand The "damage" that slavery did to an entire people. And how they still don't see all of the inequalities that still exist. Smh. The comment that got me the most was "My ancestors worked hard and built this country" WRONG! your ancestors stole people, brown strong, beautiful people, beat them and MADE them BUILD this country... and they also killed them, Raped their women, murdered their children, hung them and had a party and took pictures around their bodies. broke the black family, emasculated the black male, and made the black woman the sole parent. I LOVE everyone... but We must realize that there are inequalities, in our American justice system, financial, etc... WAKE UP!

Hearing from white people about their whiteness in such searing honesty is actually heartening. The conversation around racism seem to have stalled after what seemed to be a watershed moment last summer. It's been a bitter disappointment so thank you for putting it together and helping me find some hope again.
I share that disappointment, how few white folks feel the urgent priority of June 2020. The part that blasted me with knowledge darts most was when a white woman concludes: "people of color and the communities that i've been around have a lot more figured out about how to be human beings than white people do. i think because we're cast as oppressors we've had to get rid of a lot of pieces of ourselves that are human and it's it's deadened us to a lot i mean it's deaden our sympathies and our empathies and our heart to other people."

@@garrisonnichols7372 I swear i clicked on this on accident lol, I was watching a Michael Jai White interview and listening to it while I carried a basket of laundry upstairs when I accidentally must have somehow clicked onto this video 🙂. Racism/prejudice has always fascinated me. I do believe that there is such a thing as white privilege, this country was built on racism and even though there has been a lot of change, there is still a lot of institutional racism unfortunately and by default this is what gives white people most of their privilege.
Are any of you aware that as a result of OUR disobedience TMH Himself GAVE them rule over us!!? Until WE as HIS children humble ourselves and come back to HIM, (not as Christianity teaches) then they’ll MAINTAIN that position. And let me be clear, the powers that be are AWARE of that fact!!! 🙏🏾
@@Pablo-ye1wy Yea we aware that our fathers disobedience led us into the hands of the wicked . But they went overboard and will be destroyed and will be in slavery also.
Excellent documentary. Open and honest. If only everyone had the courage to be honest we could end racism. Can you even imagine how great we would truly be if we could?
No they not honest , don't let them fool you . They know that they are not white . White mean purity , virtues , divine. God , etc ...are they that ??? Honestly they are not . They my friend are Pale skinned people but don't want to use the term pale because this exposes them to being ungodly , rejected from Human Race ( people with hue ( olive complexed people . They became pale as a result of the MARK ( CURSE ) that was put on them by the most High-GOD . For murder and other Sinful acts . Pale skin people use to look like us ( Olive complexed ) but they were cast out fromm the presence of God for their Sinful ways . They can't be white , You and I are the real white people . White also means status which means Ruler of the earth- land , so white is a status as well . They haven t came all the way clean about it . Pale means without purities , void of life , absence of light , ill , black , yeah I said black , bleached , dead and all things that's ungodly . By the way ! We are not neither . They call us black not because of our skin complexion , but because of our lack of knowledge of ourselves ( Blank state of mind ) .
Racism is used the wrong way . Racism mean having and showing pride in your Race without hurting , hating , harming or hindering others from making progress . Get the language like . Not racism but Racial bigotry is the correct word to describe Racial hatred
I have heard people admit to having privilege and being racist, but nobody has said anything about changing this behavior or wanting to change this behavior. What I hear is that this is their normal. Timestamp 29:51 someone said the system needs to be eradicated.
OK, but the issue is then what do you replace it with. What do you do to ensure such systems don't re-emerge. There have been many times in history where revolutions have occurred to change the current system, only to not really address the problems are create new ones. America is a good example of this, it was founded under the ideas of personal liberty and a balanced govt to ensure personal freedoms. In spite of the fact Slavery was a thing, something which was acknowledged as an issue by the founding fathers. Or Soviet Russia, sure it overthrew the oppressive tsarist regime and the old ruling class but it was just replaced by an equally controlling and sometimes extremely violent totalitarian soviet regime with forced equality (unless you were the party elite ofc).
@thescottishanimeguy9946 I wish I had the answer to end racism of all kinds. Race, financial, and religion. As a kid and a Star Trek fan, I always admired how they were acceptable to all walks of life, human and aliens living and working together. Money wasn't a factor in services, work or housing. All primary purposes in life were universal, and the prime directive excluded religion and special groups. The focus was survival for ALL. I've always felt that special groups getting additional help only proved that everyone knows they were shorthanded from the start and now they need to catch up. Look at other countries with universal education and healthcare the competition of capitalism eliminated automatically. If we could replace the competiveness of capitalism with unity and universal primary services, I think that would be a great start. 👍 Greed, is the problem.
@yogiegemini2053 Dude, I live in a country with universal health care and education. It has not solved our problems, it hasn't even come close. Sure, some were addressed, but it also opened up new ones. Granted, the UK has once far more Socialist but that model was abandoned in the 80s. It was abandoned for a reason, though, as the massive yogy spending led to ever growing debt and inflation. Also, a lot of communist countries (at least in Europe) did allow for greater social security programs such as free hosing due to their total control over the economy. Despite this, they had much lower civil freedom and living standards overall lagged behind the west, a gap that only grew as the cold war dragged on. I'm not being a naysayer, I do agree that more equal access to things is better than it being privatised. However, history has shown that this can fail for multiple reasons, and countries that have them continue to have problems. People aren't greedy because of the capitalist system, but merely because it's a human trait and any system has positions of power that can be exploited with greed.
@thescottishanimeguy9946 It failed in Europe, and I'm sorry to hear that. That kinda burst my bubble. I'm not giving up yet. The universal education in India, I'm told, is successful. We can start with education, and with new technology in the health field, five years from now, unions won't have control.
I like that most od these people are honest. The dishonest ones know their inadequecies and are fearful of losing out their priveleges. This is why we get a backlash when we stand up for ourselves.
Whiteness is the ability to assimilate into a society. If you don't have the social skills to assimilate than you're left behind. Same thing everywhere
Thats a dangerous generalization. I am white and hold no guilt for my skin tone. To do so is regressive and only creates problems, especially because I've never mistreated a person based on skin tone. I judge people based on merit and morality therefore my "privilege" is only threatened if I live a dishonest life surrounded by crooked and sick people.
Privilege can always be revoked. This is why culture no matter what is not your friend. Culture always favors conformity and thats where the idea of minorities comes from. Individualism is the key to freedom.
This video is the most brutal honest feelings about race video. If everyone was honest in their feelings about race maybe this could be beginning of a open dialogue of all races.
Will I got an open dialogue right here. Racist white folks....how do you think you got here? YOU Came From the Black Man and Woman. WE Are Your Father and Mother. YOU should Honor your Farther and YOUR Mother, that YOUR Days be Long on THE Earth.
@@sabalidann8278 Here's an open dialogue: you will NEVER get any respect or honor from me and I don't care if you think I am a racist. What about it, you racist reggin?
Everyone is instinctively prejudice purely for survival. Those are facts Other than that, us as humans are supposed to be more evolved and intelligent than that.
Most Americans, regardless of color, are painfully ignorant. It is unbelievable how much they don't know in regards to history of both the U.S. and the rest of the world. That alone is quite unusual, seeing how Americans want to argue history with each other constantly. The comment on here claiming that racist white people came from "them", and then proceeded to tell them to honor them as their mother and father is so funny and lacking in self awareness. That isn't how human evolution works at all, also the blatant racism used right after calling other people racist.

So there lays the so called white privilege to me but do I think majority of whites are getting that....hell nooooo!
@@michelejennings7645 why would these few people that’ve been spending most their lives around campuses define truth for our society, especially when they have to change definitions and rely on personal experience to support their claims? When they won’t acknowledge dissent outside of criticism, then instinct tells me that it’s more so like a cultish ideal. If you read the 60’s and 70’s books about critical race theory, then it blatantly describes the indoctrination, propaganda and true path to achieve. You could add Stokely Carmichael as well to understand why MLK Jr is not of reference anymore: peace and unity vs violence and segregation. If you learn about the German’s critical theory in the 30’s, then you can definitely see how they used the same techniques and got Hitler Youth when they labeled the majority as the “oppressed” in their reform to fascism. Took less than a decade of indoctrination and propaganda that got the population to look past the violence against multiple demographics, millions of people dead, in support of their ideals. Critical race theory wants to use the population as the instrumental test, and it has to be sold through indoctrination and propaganda to do so. Even Thomas Edison had thousands of tests to get a light bulb to work. Really think we’d get it right the first time so that we don’t have millions dying from violence and/or hunger? Because the majority of people in this country don’t like the idea of losing God-given rights for rights given by those in power, this will bring more violence. Some would be more equal than others (Orwell) in a chase for equity, which means equity fails again bringing equality down with it. If you’re not in that group of power, then you’re going right back to the bottom w/ new, most likely, rulers in a less efficient system. They may be more diverse though, so you’ve got that going for you. There are too many people in this American bubble that have no relative reference of oppression. Even those that go out of the country stick to the tourist areas, which usually excludes oppressed areas, are blind to reality. These people (politicians) that you want controlling this caused Libya to bring slavery back. Nobody cares of course because it was Obama’s Admin. They’ve been running the world policing and drug war. Our current POTUS and VP both got separate legislations passed that caused an immense surge in blacks to be incarcerated for minor offenses. You really think these used-car salesmen aren’t focused on their profit? History proves that many put it before the welfare of people and state. Humans cannot run a system of power like this with any integrity, honor or efficiency. We get those Star Trek replicators, then we can talk about socialism. Although, a society that CRT demands wouldn’t be nearly as quick in scientific progress. Either way, I’ll continue treating someone as an individual, which gives way to love.

This took a lot of guts and care for other people for the participants to agree to be in this video. Even as a black person myself, I understand the lack of sensitivity that privilege bestows on its beneficiaries. Growing up in Nigeria, West Africa, there was a sense of privilege that my tribe had above the other tribes, and because you can easily distinguish the tribes by their features, you were born into it. Fortunately, since coming to the US years ago and having had to survive as a default underprivileged, I have truly been humbled by the dangers of the opposite of privilege, which is working and struggling really hard and being knocked down. I am committed to help lesson the impact of negative privilege here in the US and in Africa. Privilege felt much better than now that I do not have the privilege, but the cure is understanding the harm it does and then acting against it.
+Sunny T I completely agree. Privilege means one is set above other people. What I am really happy to see is that that MO is rapidly being turn down. It is a good thing.
Why should it take _any_ kind of courage to state the blatantly obvious..!? Are you being brave or just factual because you highlighted your tribal realities? Agree with everything you say, except for the ‘courage’ aspect. They’re not heroes, they’re just (in the main) mature but (what should be) ordinary white people...
@@chibuo4733 You are right from the observer's point of view. It is much harder for someone with privilege to see it's subtleties. When it comes to privilege in the Western world, the deified blond blue eyed depicted Jesus in the earlier part of the last millennium add to the privilege of European descendants. This is not a bad thing, because a white Jesus helped elevate the European people to their own higher selves. I believe that black peoples losing our own identity and souls was a lucky, but unintended deeper consequence of forced conversions of African and other indigenous peoples of the world to Christianity. I believe more than the European robbing of resources from different parts of the world and enslavement of black people, the real boon to western privilege is "Write Jesus". What Christian in their right mind would not want to be like Jesus? However, it is a position that a black person could never reach. White is associated with purity, holiness and the sacred, while black is associated with adversary and evil. This is an untenable height in an unfortunately and socially constructed colorized world. The fight for justice will forever be an uphill battle for non European descendants, but most especially the darkest pigmented people. And as long as we have majority of black people following Christianity (as well as Islam), the privileged European descendant (or Arab, in the case of Islam) can try all they want to let go of their privilege, we black people, in our christianized and undying internalized desire to be like white Jesus - The GOD, are doomed to elevating the European image above ourselves. Essentially, Christianity and Islam have become black peoples ' tools of perpetual self-oppression and self-deprecation . Perhaps you realize what the solution is. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on what I laid out above. Thanks for engaging me.
@@akindelebankole8080 white Jesus helped elevate Europeans because it pushed everyone else down that they forced Christianity onto which is the rest of the world. So it's not a bad thing... For them.
Absolutely fascinating. Unfortunately, honest unguarded conversations like this are rare. That question about "when did you become white" and the answers were insightful... what these immigrant groups may have lost through assimilation to become "white" and the awareness that the "benefit" of assimilation isn't bestowed on immigrant groups of color. Truly thought provoking film.
Without this sort of Critical Race Theory, how will white people be made to feel guilty? If whites can be taught that they are permeated with their privilege, then they can learn that blacks are never racists. Ultimately, whites will be taught self-flagellation, and groveling. Am I right?

I’ve been pulled over several times for speeding and my whiteness never worked for me, always got a ticket. Once I was driving on expired plates by two days, lady cop pulled me over and took me to the station. She had me sit in the room for over two hours with my dog until I found someone who could drive us home in my Jeep. She took my license, and later that night she came to my house to make sure I was still at home. I don’t think I’ve ever received “a break” just because I’m white. I’ve been told two times that I didn’t get a job because I was female and divorced, and I was even better qualified. Maybe I’ve never experienced special treatment because of my whiteness because I’ve always lived in a small city. I have mixed feelings on this video.
Your individual experience does not negate the system that is in place. But the fact that you believe it's enough to disprove what is being revealed in this video is the problem. This is why it's so easy for people to continue racism and pretend that blacks are just making it up, its all in our mind. You have no reason to dismantle white supremacy because it does not harm you. And you can easily say it has never benefited you.
That's because there's no such "thing" as "white privilege" as some distinct, separate phenomena. It's ONLY the 'other side' of the "adverse racial discrimination" coin - the "other_ way of saying that same thing. So, minorities experience "prejudice" at times, in ways, by and from 'white people' whom are a majority in the U.S. Other "white people" don't experience *that* particular prejudice. That's all 'white privilege' is. The absence of racial prejudice among others of your own race. Thus, there's also 'black privilege' and 'asian privilege', etc. That said, research has found that in terms of individuals' sense of identity, 'white' people have a small component of their race as their identity. In fact, the smallest element of all the races. Blacks have a rather high portion, the highest. Thus, they pay attention and subjectively experience and identify far more, as "being black" than do other races being their race. They also "interpret" many things, accordingly, when that's not necessarily accurate nor real nor true.

@@jamberry8026 you don't read well do you? I am literally saying the white people in this video obviously believe white people are superior to black people. They apologize for feeling this way...it is literally the video. They don't hide how they feel about black people. Did you even watch the video? This was a video full of white supremacists. Personally, I believe no person is supreme due to skin color. I don't believe black people need anyone to lower the bar. The great news is that only a few progressives actually believe white people are superior, some white liberals and a few woefully ignorant black people, as seen on CNN and MSNBC. The problem is the actual racists are loud crybabies, complaining about racism everywhere. The great news is that most people are seeing right through the tomfoolery.
I never forgot 25 years ago applying for a job at Macy's in a upscale area of Baltimore. 2 young white girls were told we will give you a call. They had on flip flips and jeans. I had taken a class to wear a nice suit outfit heels to a job interview. I was ask, when can you start? I started a week later. Making good money good benefits. Their. Privileges didn't work for them. That day I was shock.
Seems to me that a large part of the ‘white privilege’ these folks are endlessly ruminating about is best demonstrated by all this nonsensical, non-productive narcissistic navel-gazing and silly self-flagellating. I suspect that most black individuals find this crap dopey and insulting to their intelligence. Get over yourselves, silly people, and treat all people well. I’ve never heard such a huge ration of ‘me’, ‘I’, ‘my’, ‘myself’….the black people I’ve known can take care of themselves, Thank you very much, and are not dependent on white people putting on hair shirts and indulging in these performative mea culpa dramas. SHEESH!
@Rhonda "I never forgot 25 years ago" Had this happened 50 years ago, this would have been a different story. I'm a black woman in my 40s & have been rather lucky at getting decent jobs. I do remember applying for a job at a movie theater in the 90s with a couple of friends. One was white & the other was Hispanic. They got hired but I didn't. I was naive & it never crossed my mind that race could have played a factor. One of the friends told me later that the guy who hired them didn't like black people. Of course, this was obvious to them once the started working for him. It was a mixed blessing for me. I wouldn't have wanted to work for a racist anyway but it's the principle of the matter that's hurtful. That being said, let's not forget that "white privilege" is still a thing even if it's not as prevalent as it was a few decades ago. I doubt this guy has changed his stance on black people and there's no telling how many black people he intentionally chose not to hire during his time as a hiring manager.
@@michelep6300 ".the black people I’ve known can take care of themselves" I have to address this. White privilege is not about black people "not being table to take care of themselves." It's not about us wanting or needing to be dependent on white people. It's about not being afforded the same courtesy & opportunities as white people & white people being blind to it. Are we not supposed to point out discrepancies?
As a black man my story of racist is different, and it was me and the whole neighborhood that picked on beat up daily the one white kid that lived in the hood, when we were kids, we played a little but dad and moms woop my A$$ for even playing with a white kid, and taught me to hate and bully him, and so did everyone else, we stole every bike that kid had, would beat him up and take his soda and candy if we saw him leaving the store, threw rocks thew his windows for fun, every day we would hit him at the bus stop, i feel horrible about this, and know us black people can be really bad for no reason only because it's what everyone else was doing and our parents approved, real talk i feel like the neighborhood owes this white kid a apology, and maybe a bike and all that stuff we beat up and took from him at least, i know we affected his life, he was buying hard at like 15 and lived a hard life in the hood just like us i feel so much shame
Hi John, thanks for your post but I just would like a little clarification if possible? The film don't suggest that individuals and small groups of one race of people aren't capable of being prejudiced (having biases attitudes/beliefs about different races) and capable of discriminating (behavior-treating people different based on racial difference). We can all hurt one another and be cruel because of some difference like racial/ethnic ones, although I'd argue the consequences are often very different when people of different races hurt one another. For example, the "legal' punishments/sentences met out to white people who hurt or kill black/brown folks has largely been way less severe than the punishments/sentences when Black folks have hurt white people. Since the film focuses on whether white people, as a group, enjoy more social status, rights/"privileges" than people who are not white, and though I appreciate your honesty and sharing that when you were young you and your friends mistreated a white boy, simply because he was white, I'm not sure why you are sharing that in light of the film's central theme/questions about what it means to be white and is it a social and economic benefit to be classified as white? I'd also suggest that your parents, who didn't want you to play with white children, likely had a very different reason than white parents who didn't want their children to play with non-white kids? I ask based on what folks of color have shared with me over the years where its typically the case that folks of color, who don't like "white people," do so because of how they have been treated by white people or how their racial group has been treated by white people? And when their kids play with white kids or possibly begin to date across race their displeasure is also often also driven by concerns of safety for their children? So the prejudice and discriminatory behaviors of folks of color are usually motivated by collective and personal experience, etc.., On the other hand, the white folks in my life who don't like folks of color, or who might even say they 'like" folks of color but still don't want their kids socializing with them, or certainly not dating and marrying them, generally do so because they, consciously and/or unconsciously we feel/believe "they" are 'not as good" as their white children. So in a nutshell, our prejudice and discrimination is driven by a sense of "supremacy" not history or their own person experiences. I bring this up because the belief in white superiority is a very different motivating factor than folks of color not liking white people because of what has happened historically or in ya'll's lived lives? I Having said that, if I may ask, Joyn why do you think your parents didn't like white people? Do you think it was based on them feeling superior to white people or was there another reason? Again, thanks for your comments. Mark
@@markpgeorge that was way to much to read sorry, my family didn't like white people because they were racist, idk same reason why some white people don't like black people, I know this much me and all my friends and there families were all the same way, so we were all raised that way, or everyone wouldn't of beaten up the white boy for sport, if your trying to create a argument or justification for us acting that way, you should probably stop working on race stuff because we were all messed up, and wrong and racist and people are still like that, the white kid was just stuck on the wrong side of the tracks.
So John, help me with this, how do you define "racism?" What does it mean to you? I ask because its important to know that we are talking about the same thing.@@Civilwar.relics
@@markpgeorge there is a clear definition, you have a Google button when you apply it, you have to ask questions such as orgins, people's, and time periods. But simply question when one human being was owned by another. the word slave comes from the Slavic people's of Europe that were taken by the Spanish! The slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD. Slavery can broadly be described as the ownership, buying and selling of human beings for the purpose of forced and unpaid labour. It happened before Rome existed, it only ended on a island in Africa in 1981, before that, it was all European countries that abolished slavery first, then over a million white men die fighting in the American Civil War to end it, then 1883 Brazil ends slavery. So on the question what do I know on the subject probably a little bit more than you
@@markpgeorge and I'm telling stories that other black people won't because I do feel bad for my behavior, I do blame my parents and the community for making me have those horrible feelings towards white people for no reason, and I'm pretty successful and got my school for the most part paid for because I'm black, at a historically black university NC central, what's crazy is the white people going to the school paid the same, as me
@@realitycheck1092 Yes, these people in this video are truly brainwashed far left loons. This mentality of living in the past and feeling guilty about things perpetrated years ago does nothing. The far left thrives on race issues and promotes negativity rather than highlighting the positive. Jump to the conclusion of everyone is a racist, like the Twitter post by lebron james about a police shooting in Columbus Ohio without actually knowing the facts. Keeps the narrative going and facts are left out. Facts over emotions should be the most important thing. Are there racist people in the USA? Yes, but that is not the overbearing percentage of people and to attempt to portray the country in this way is false and not helpful in anyway.

Good question, I do respect some of the answers. As an African living in the US I am always reminded who I am as person. Society would let you know incase you forgot what color you are
This video is summed up within the first minute: "I don't like being a white man". "Whiteness" is such a wild concept that is just accepted as a framing. This discussion only happens in "white" majority countries. People in Asian majority, Hispanic majority, African majority, or any other majority countries are not having this kind of self-reflection. Go be a not-Japanese person in Japan (anyone not Japanese) as a prime example or a not-Korean person in Korea or a not-Indian person in India or a not-Arab person in any Arabian nation. "Whiteness" is just code for "majority population", but is targeted only at white people through the framing and lens that them being in a majority is somehow unique from any other majority group in any other culture. Grifting. All of it. The framing of these conversations is the problem and what keeps us all divided.
"U4iadreams"...."Asian, Hispanic, African" are "ethnic" distinctions, not racial ones created to maintain a racial hierarchy.....BTW....what are the "Hispanic" countries?.....:) Are you referring to Mexico? Its populated by Mexican folks, Spain?...Spanish......Peru? Peruvian....etc. , etc., etc., etc.........so accusations of "grifting?" made by someone behind an anonymous avatar/and pseudonym, when it appears that you don't understand the distinctions between ethnic, national, and racial identities.....seems a bit disingenuous at best..... regardless, peace and love to you "U4iadreams".
@@markpgeorge Nice attempt at a deflection without addressing the point being made. Would you have preferred I said "anything but 'white' culture majority nations"? You are obviously somebody who has either not traveled to another country that wasn't "white" majority in your life *or* you're a grifter cashing in on racial tensions (like many others). You're free to address the actual point I made if you wish to contend my assessment, but we both know that you don't actually have an argument or else you would have engaged in good faith instead of reaching for ways to dismiss my critique. Enjoy your grift. You could be a more honorable person and acknowledge that what I said is true and accept that people are tribalistic and prefer familiarity to not - regardless of where they are on the planet or if they won the culture wars or not. Hell, I just gave you endless content for analysis as there are loads of cultures and each one has norms and customs and, with very few exceptions (none that I know of but will allow for the possibility), these norms and customs are shared by heritage and, consequently, skin color (among other things). The USA is unique because a "white" majority was established early and therefore those founding members and early settlers based this nation on their own values. If Spain had taken North America as much as they did South, we would all be speaking Spanish right now, "white" people would be the minority and people like you would be making videos about "Spanishness" or "Conquistadorian progeny" instead of "Whiteness". Sour grapes.

Hi SkunkinTheTrunk, I happen to be a white southerner from Georgia. For the record, this isn't about guilting anyone. The evidence/data shows time and time again that whites, as a racial group, have a fundamentally different experience in the U.S. - when compared to people of color. Peace to you my friend. Mark George
There are two separate issues that need to be addressed. One is personal responsibility for recognizing and correcting one's personal bigotry towards others, reflected in unreasoning fear, dismissiveness, and ostracism. This is something everyone, regardless of race has to address; it is not limited to one group. The other issue is to recognize that the dominant culture of this country is a white European one. That is a consequence of the country (I mean the political entity known as the United States) being based upon European moral and political values. The political system is European; the educational system is European; so is the economic system and most importantly, the underlying philosophical and moral systems on which all the others are based. It is inextricably embedded in all of our institutions and therein lies the problem. These systems weren't established to purposely and deliberately exclude other groups: they were established because these same white Europeans found them best suited for living within their own societies, without regard to others. Now we introduce those other groups into that culture and system. Some find these systems advantageous and easy to adapt to. Many others do not. Add to that the widespread personal bigotry displayed by members of the the demographically and socially dominant group and the systemic racism that so many protest becomes apparent. We can address the issue of personal bigotry by holding individuals accountable for their behavior, educating them to regard others with empathy and to examine themselves, and challenge and encourage them to hold themselves to a higher standard of behavior. Systemic racism is far more difficult to address, because it is firmly embedded in the DNA of our culture and institutions. You can't completely remove it by tinkering with the laws and demanding changes in representation in government, education, and business, although these moves can alleviate some of the harm. You can only do so by uprooting the entire moral, philosophical, and political system upon which it is based. Wipe the board clean and replace it with something else. The problem then becomes, what do you replace it with? The only remotely competitive systems that I can think of are also of white European origin. Adopting another cultures institutions simply replaces one flavor of systemic racism with another. As unfair, unjust, and damaging as the current system is, it has been relatively stable and at least provides some measure of self correction through equal protection under the law, regular opportunities to replace ineffective leadership, and guaranteed freedom of expression so those in the minority can at least be heard. The power of it is best reflected by how much these same rights have been and are being adopted by other cultures and countries around the world. I don't believe we are therefore finished and that nothing can be done to improve what we have; I don't believe we should ever stop trying to recognize and remove embedded elements that disadvantage particular groups. But I do believe that the current system, because of its origins and its underpinning moral and philosophical basis, will always retain some measure of advantage and disadvantage, whether based on race, gender, or class. At some point, we are going to have begin the really hard work of coming up with something new, something that embodies in its core, the values of equality, fairness, and justice for all that we aspire to. I just don't know what that is.
Does having a "fundamentally different experience in the U.S." for white people make it morally reprehensible? Wouldn't any person of a different culture have the same experience in any other country? Can you tell me if another country exists where they've been better able to tackle this issue?
@@mindyours8343 Very true. I've been there and it's much better than the U.S. as it pertains to inclusion, but the same can be said for any liberal Eurozone country. Hell, Europe is generally the best place to experience this considering there's many different races, ethnicities, nationalities, and most importantly LANGUAGES all within driving distance of each other. So yes, the Netherlands is better. I guess I posed the question wrong. Maybe I should have said, "Name a country where race relations have been normalized to a point where one of the member groups doesn't complain about marginalization or racism? " Netherlands would be close, but there's a strong far-right and far-left element there that are at odds, which foments harsh criticism from political groups with an agenda, and consequently a wedge issue which allows them to exploit it.
My position is there are too many people when it comes to racism who do not want to change, the idea of being on top, appearing to be superior, suites them just fine. There are alcoholics who know drinking isn't good for them but does knowing it stop them? "I don't think so!"
Yep, and there is also sizable minority in the black community who think the world owes them just because they're black. It doesn't and nor do white people - those with or without privilege.
@@edmundbell-king4538 I'd say if it weren't for those hateful Whites that made sure Blacks stayed in rub down communities then they wouldn't still be believing after generations of been denied the sames rights as those keeping them down.
When the question was asked, "when did different ethnicities become white", I really believe that the people answering were really trying to give their most honest and best answer to it, but not one person gave the most direct and honest answer, which is, when did they become white, when it became convenient. Point Blank. Everyone appears, for the most part, to come across as genuine and sincere. Everyone spoke in-depth about it being an obvious divide, but not a single solitary person gave any concrete evidence on how they are approaching a solution. That was hurtful.
@@A_Priori_Obvious I agree. It’s like every white Persian from SA says “I was against Apartheid”. Well if you was all against it, why did it happen in the first place. The people here honest about it, but that’s it. A mafia man is honest he’s a criminal. That doesn’t mean he’s going to stop.
@Chris Dawson, arrogance/narcissism is no doubt a malignant spirit that's praised by society instead of shunned! Moreover, narcissism isn't just exclusive to ppl with a certain physical appearance, it's prevalent amongst all classes of ppl. Also, self-abasement is just as bad as narcissism because narcissist feeds off the insecurities of ppl to even become relevant. The moral of the story is to understand the mindset of a narcissist so as to not to become it or become a victim.

My husband was born and raised in post war Germany. I grew up in the USA where a lot value is placed on race and ethnicity as indicated in this documentary. We moved and lived in Germany right after we were married in 1978. In the USA I'm seen as a Mexican alien third class citizen according to my ethnicity, even though I'm an American. In Europe they treat me like everyone else. The world knows of Germany's and USA's' history of ethnic and racial genocide. Germans are aware, while Americans are not. Germany mass murdered about 6 million people, Americans about 20 million (Native Americans, African slaves and Asian railroad workers). Germans are ashamed, while it appears that Americans are not ashamed at all, they're even arrogant and prideful. Certain Americans in other countries are often called "ugly Americans". At first I didn't understand, but now I see what they mean. I think the people who made this documentary, specifically selected those that would be considered "ugly Americans" in other countries.
I am so glad that I saw this doc. What I have heard enlighten me as a black person. This doc. would be a special television series. Specially in the climate that we live now. Thank you so much.😊💐

16:40 "When I get pulled over I don't get tickets. The policemen usually apologize" SAY WHAT? I'm white. I drive beat up used cars, and don't dress nice since I dismantle buses. My work truck is always stuffed w/ tools and parts and machinery. Unlike these professors, I get treated poorly by the police. I get tickets. I get mistreated, harassed when I ride my 10 speed bike in my low income neighborhood. It's not always race, it's also your perceived level of wealth, which is power. If the law thinks you're poor, your life chances diminish quickly and you can expect the worst.
She was describing a woman thing. I've seen girls bring the fake tears and the sob story , get told don't do it again and free to leave than laugh and say what an idiot. Must be nice to have tits. I have a penis,... I will get searched, put in the police car, have had a guns to my head just because of driving crappy cars that I can only afford because they look suspicious. WTF does that mean. Even had a cop go down my road to come back up and throw his lights on because our vehicle looked suspicious sitting at the end of our driveway with our lights on at near 10 at night. Our driveway is 600 ft long and we took our van down to check the mail and put the garbage out. Got searched as did the car, looked at the tires and the lights and had to get my mom to verify I lived there even though my licenses said I did. The reason was is looked very suspicions. So my van at the end of the driveway on with the lights on with me checking my mailbox looked suspicious. I had saw him drive past and hadn't moved in the time it took him to go down the hill and turn around to come up it. My driveway has a sharp bend at the beginning. Drive up 30 ft shut off lights and no one would see ya. Sorry lady if I don't agree with ya. Cop's are power tripping and a woman doesn't get there ego going but a man does. especially one that they know cant get a lawyer or afford to do anything fight back. I call them revenue officers.

I think it's amazing how this history is covered up, and seemingly none even interested. Even when you have proof in writting in the form of government acts, or from very famous founding fathers. William Penn even describes the natives as tall and dark. I am totally overwhelmed at what could be considered proof that melanated people( whites included because they at one time had melanin until albinism), are as ancient as the land itself( Negro de Terra). What could be done to survive the sun's rays before development of sun screen? Red stuff Aboriginals wore was type of insect repellent. Its simply common sense that the racist try to negate. Even dark skinned morranis( converso laddino speaking Moors of Al andalusia, Spain) are omitted, even though they showed Columbus where the 'new world'was, and which current to take. Look at the picture of 'Treaty of Grenada'. Look at subjects of Boabdil( seated on black horse opposite Queen Isabella). Consider Juan Gurrido, who brought wheat to the American continent. What would we do without wheat? Why ommitt this from endoctrination system?

Few years ago, I worked at a diner as a cashier for over a year without a raise. And then they hired a blonde tall beautiful white girl that I had to train. She proudly told me how much she was getting paid and when I realized she was getting paid more, I asked for a raise but they turned me down. So I left and never looked back. But I was shocked when they called me to come back to work because she stole every penny and disappeared. Ofcourse I again said no, never.
Wow. Didn't they feel dumb... 😑
Non of that’s surprising. The thievery devoid of any consequences is another example of White Privilege unfortunately. However, had you stole anything you’d have been prosecuted expediently to the fullest extent of the Law. It’s a great thing that you quit never returning because you avoided easily becoming a “fall guy” for the blonde 👱♀️.

Lets be honest, 99% of the problems in the black community is self inflicted. Babies out of wedlock, bad parenting or lack of, bad code of ethics. Look at the most successful group of Americans ASIAN MALES (Not White people), they are successful as a group because they prioritize a very disciplined lifestyle, they stay in school, they don’t gang bang, they take care of communities they live in. My grandmother grew up poor but they took care of their homes and community and kept it clean; they said when the blacks moved in they threw their trash everywhere and didn’t take care of their living areas. Black people bring it on themselves.

@Anus Paynuss It is a fact that all people sale their own into slavery. The Irish and English have done so. However, the European Slave Trade was particularly brutal. If you care to learn, watch “Underground” or “The Underground Railroad” or even “Roots.” If ancient Africans comprehended how cruel American slavery was, they probably won’t have done it.

Same with us Mexicans,
Being nearly 65 years of age,I grew up with the outward forms of racial hatred and prejudice. It was in your face.But looking back as a Black person I realize the more softer and subtle forms of racism can be just as devastating. Even to the point of changing or shaping the trajectory of one's life. One experience from my own life.With the help of a white friend of my mother, our family made the decision to move into a predominately white neighborhood in the Bronx. My parents realized the housing conditions and educational system in our old predominately Black neighborhood were deteriorating. That was in September of 1967.I was 11years old about to enter the 6th grade.My new school had three 6th grade classes. My mother walked me to school and registered me.The only blip that I picked up on was when the person who registered us looked confused.You see my mother was a very fair French-speaking creole from Louisiana. She could easily pass for White.I looked Biracial. All the lady asked for was personal information and we were done.I was into my new class for 3 weeks until the first parent teachers meeting. My mother had a chance encounter with another white parent whose daughter was also in the 6th grade.I had gone to use the bathroom.When my mother mentioned that I was in class 6-3,the woman looked confused. Why my daughter is in class 6-1.Thats the top class, the woman said. Why did they put your son in 6-3?,thats where they put the Blacks and the Puerto Ricans.They could have put your son in the middle class6-2 if there was no room for 6-1.My mother saw me coming but motioned for me to stay put.My mother was beside herself.Please madame she said to her new friend, tell me more.Boy did she.When we returned home my mother was crying. I never imagined the classes were ranked from high to low,she said.You deserve to be in 6-1.Now she realized why the registrar didn't request my records from the previous 5th grade.Her mind was already made up as to my placement. If the registrar had looked, my reading and math scores were nearly perfect. My report card was excellent. The next day,with me in tow,my mother went back to the school and demanded to see the principal. She laid my school records on the desk.Now please put my son in 6-1 sir.Well Mrs. Griffith,Frederick has to take a mini math,vocabulary and reading comprehension test.Why wasn't i told this when I registered my son, she asked.The principal paused then said,well I leave that to the discretion of the registrar during your initial interview. I took the exam on the spot in another room. My mother and I sat there anxiously awaiting the results. Finally the principal returned. Mrs Griffith, I will make room for your son for 6-1.I don't think he will have any problem catching up to his classmates. I didn't get a single question wrong on the test.Perfect scores.The difference was like night and day.In the 6-3 class,I felt like I wasn't being challenged. The teacher was just going through the motions. In the 6-1 class I was challenged by the teacher and my classmates. I was the only Black kid in the class. I thrived.Come to find out this was an under the table Advanced placement class.These kids were already preparing for junior high and high school. I thrived.For the first time I felt like I was on equal footing with my White classmates and given the respect to go with it.My confidence and self esteem grew by leaps and bounds.Most of these kids were placed in the top 7th grade class in junior high school with the option of skipping to the 9th grade. I decided to go through the normal progression.But I believe that experience truly changed my life for the better. It changed my mother's life too.She decided to get involved in the school activities. After all even after I graduated from 6th grade,I still had a younger sister in the same school who was three years younger. At my 6th grade graduation, the principal shook my hand. Frederick, you and your mother have made me a better educator more than you know.Besides,he said,your mother and I had a nice one on one talk.When we returned home I asked my mother this.Mama what did you and the principal talk about?Oh a lot of things.But mainly the screening process of all new kids who transfer from other schools,she said.She told him straight up that she believed a lot of the Black and Spanish kids who were transfers were shortchanged and automatically put into the lower classes without talking into account their report cards and reading and math scores from the last grade.And that they should all be allowed to take the same mini exam that you took, she said.She added that the principal should take into account some of the language barriers of some of the Spanish kids at that time and to evaluate and give whatever help that might be needed. My mother didn't speak English until the age of 7 so she understood the challenges.She finally added that she believed the principal was a fair and decent person who wouldn't intentionally discriminate based on race but that he had an obligation to make sure that those he supervise don't do so as well.

@@melissaisrael3905 Thank you.It has been a journey of self discovery up to the present day.Would you believe that it was the interaction with the Black Panthers around 1965 when they set up shop in my Bronx neighborhood.They encouraged us youngsters to read the works of scholars like Dr. John Henrik Clarke,Dr Yosef Ben Jochannan,James Baldwin,Richard Wright,W.E B. Dubois and so on.My Parents understood that I needed a solid mainstream education but I also need to be self taught.The Black Panthers made it clear that nothing could be gained by hate and ignorance but that knowledge and truth is a thing of beauty.My father further strengthened this by exposing his three children to different cultures around the world.My experience in Japan was a revelation in terms of preserving one's history and cultural heritage.

@@liamwinchesterchasten2229 Thank you.I don't think people realize how important the four pillars of human existence is to help increase the outcomes of helping people develop into happy,healthy(mentally&physically) productive human beings.They are INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND most importantly SOCIETY. And the need for POSITIVE RECIPROCAL REINFORCEMENT amongst the four pillars. In American society, its people are told that only the love,support and encouragement of a child's parents are all that is needed. Not from the family. NOT from the community. Not from the most important and powerful component, the society. Parents are expected to go at it alone.But parents need help once the child goes out the door. The more sources a human can get emotional support and encouragement from the better. But we have a society where those who are in positions of power to make a difference in a person's life are becoming more and more cynical and partake in the demonization of others.So now America is a breeding ground for neurosis and psychosis. It is not sustainable. And if this trend isn't reversed we will be on the verge of collapse.
Hey Frederick, thanks for your story, made me cry. Your mom is an angel to many students who came after you

I have worked in sundown towns because I travel for work. The things I experienced in Indiana scared me.
1 example is, day we were leaving someone called the cops (in Bedford Indiana) on me and my wife because we were picking up rocks from the ditch in front of the hotel we were staying at . The hotel staff said it was fine. We were picking up rocks and fossils everytime we went outside and walked around.
Cop comes in behind me as I was pulling back into the parking lot to tie my tarp down to my truck bed.
The manager tells them that if they ever get a call about rocks, not to respond.
The cop looks at us and asks if it was us. The manager told him to leave. He still wanted to do something about it even though we had permission from the hotel to grab the rocks.
Another example is that same hotel manager warned me to not travel through Martinsville Indiana OMW home.
I ended up having to go south. We went through Orleans. That was scary as well.
Me and my white boyfriend (ex now) were on the side of the road getting ready to go for a hike and a cop pulled up , blocked us in, threw my ex against the car and chicken winged him then proceeded to search him and through our car. Why do you think that was?
Gee, how did you make it through?🙄

There will be no such thing racism will never be a full disregards it will never go away it's like cancer it will continuously manifest itself and the reason why is because everybody has their own opinion in their own ways of thinking and because race is a real issue color is a real issue it'll always be subjected to racism

Very good. TV tries to "sugarcoat" too much. Once we as a society can come to the discussion table and truly discuss issues without condemning/shouting or shunning one another we might be able to solve some of our most painful issues.

Why?
It’s good to hear because so many of them deny it and claim that white privilege does not exist so to hear them admit it is satisfying

White is a classification that when you are white, you don’t need to directly know about privilege to enjoy it. Deny it, and enjoy it.
The “guilt complex” is also what walls most ‘white’ people from learning that racism is a systemic structure than a social construct. Yes, it can be applied in social situations but for these situations to take form it has to be a dominant power system that reinforces the idea of race domination in its own foundation. Once everyone stop participating in this system than true change can come about…

This was such a bizarre step into the twilight zone for me.
Especially hearing white people talk about their traffic situations with cops. Hearing a grown man say he has only been stopped by cops 4 times in his life, then reflecting on how often my father was stopped by the cops for no reason. I legit remember one cop stopping us, and then he accused my father of driving too slow- 3mph below the speed limit. My father apologized, explained that he was driving his daughters to church and wanted his precious cargo to reach safely. The cop let him off with a warning. 👀.
He got stopped really often - always 2or three miles below the speed limit, was a teetotaler, etc. They stopped him for "looking suspicious" aka being black in a white people's town
I felt this in the pit of my stomach.

The comment that got me the most was "My ancestors worked hard and built this country" WRONG! your ancestors stole people, brown strong, beautiful people, beat them and MADE them BUILD this country... and they also killed them, Raped their women, murdered their children, hung them and had a party and took pictures around their bodies. broke the black family, emasculated the black male, and made the black woman the sole parent. I LOVE everyone... but We must realize that there are inequalities, in our American justice system, financial, etc... WAKE UP!

Hearing from white people about their whiteness in such searing honesty is actually heartening. The conversation around racism seem to have stalled after what seemed to be a watershed moment last summer. It's been a bitter disappointment so thank you for putting it together and helping me find some hope again.
I share that disappointment, how few white folks feel the urgent priority of June 2020. The part that blasted me with knowledge darts most was when a white woman concludes: "people of color and the communities that i've been around have a lot more figured out about how to be human beings than white people do. i think because we're cast as oppressors we've had to get rid of a lot of pieces of ourselves that are human and it's it's deadened us to a lot i mean it's deaden our sympathies and our empathies and our heart to other people."

I have heard people admit to having privilege and being racist, but nobody has said anything about changing this behavior or wanting to change this behavior. What I hear is that this is their normal. Timestamp 29:51 someone said the system needs to be eradicated.
There is no system. There are people.
OK, but the issue is then what do you replace it with. What do you do to ensure such systems don't re-emerge. There have been many times in history where revolutions have occurred to change the current system, only to not really address the problems are create new ones. America is a good example of this, it was founded under the ideas of personal liberty and a balanced govt to ensure personal freedoms. In spite of the fact Slavery was a thing, something which was acknowledged as an issue by the founding fathers. Or Soviet Russia, sure it overthrew the oppressive tsarist regime and the old ruling class but it was just replaced by an equally controlling and sometimes extremely violent totalitarian soviet regime with forced equality (unless you were the party elite ofc).
@thescottishanimeguy9946 I wish I had the answer to end racism of all kinds. Race, financial, and religion. As a kid and a Star Trek fan, I always admired how they were acceptable to all walks of life, human and aliens living and working together. Money wasn't a factor in services, work or housing. All primary purposes in life were universal, and the prime directive excluded religion and special groups. The focus was survival for ALL. I've always felt that special groups getting additional help only proved that everyone knows they were shorthanded from the start and now they need to catch up. Look at other countries with universal education and healthcare the competition of capitalism eliminated automatically. If we could replace the competiveness of capitalism with unity and universal primary services, I think that would be a great start. 👍 Greed, is the problem.
@yogiegemini2053 Dude, I live in a country with universal health care and education. It has not solved our problems, it hasn't even come close. Sure, some were addressed, but it also opened up new ones. Granted, the UK has once far more Socialist but that model was abandoned in the 80s. It was abandoned for a reason, though, as the massive yogy spending led to ever growing debt and inflation.
Also, a lot of communist countries (at least in Europe) did allow for greater social security programs such as free hosing due to their total control over the economy. Despite this, they had much lower civil freedom and living standards overall lagged behind the west, a gap that only grew as the cold war dragged on.
I'm not being a naysayer, I do agree that more equal access to things is better than it being privatised. However, history has shown that this can fail for multiple reasons, and countries that have them continue to have problems. People aren't greedy because of the capitalist system, but merely because it's a human trait and any system has positions of power that can be exploited with greed.
@thescottishanimeguy9946 It failed in Europe, and I'm sorry to hear that. That kinda burst my bubble. I'm not giving up yet. The universal education in India, I'm told, is successful. We can start with education, and with new technology in the health field, five years from now, unions won't have control.
I like that most od these people are honest. The dishonest ones know their inadequecies and are fearful of losing out their priveleges. This is why we get a backlash when we stand up for ourselves.
🤣
Actually, they are giving their opinions.
Whiteness is the ability to assimilate into a society. If you don't have the social skills to assimilate than you're left behind. Same thing everywhere
Thats a dangerous generalization. I am white and hold no guilt for my skin tone. To do so is regressive and only creates problems, especially because I've never mistreated a person based on skin tone.
I judge people based on merit and morality therefore my "privilege" is only threatened if I live a dishonest life surrounded by crooked and sick people.
Privilege can always be revoked. This is why culture no matter what is not your friend. Culture always favors conformity and thats where the idea of minorities comes from. Individualism is the key to freedom.
This video is the most brutal honest feelings about race video. If everyone was honest in their feelings about race maybe this could be beginning of a open dialogue of all races.

Everyone is instinctively prejudice purely for survival. Those are facts Other than that, us as humans are supposed to be more evolved and intelligent than that.
Most Americans, regardless of color, are painfully ignorant. It is unbelievable how much they don't know in regards to history of both the U.S. and the rest of the world. That alone is quite unusual, seeing how Americans want to argue history with each other constantly. The comment on here claiming that racist white people came from "them", and then proceeded to tell them to honor them as their mother and father is so funny and lacking in self awareness. That isn't how human evolution works at all, also the blatant racism used right after calling other people racist.

@@michelejennings7645 why would these few people that’ve been spending most their lives around campuses define truth for our society, especially when they have to change definitions and rely on personal experience to support their claims? When they won’t acknowledge dissent outside of criticism, then instinct tells me that it’s more so like a cultish ideal.
If you read the 60’s and 70’s books about critical race theory, then it blatantly describes the indoctrination, propaganda and true path to achieve. You could add Stokely Carmichael as well to understand why MLK Jr is not of reference anymore: peace and unity vs violence and segregation. If you learn about the German’s critical theory in the 30’s, then you can definitely see how they used the same techniques and got Hitler Youth when they labeled the majority as the “oppressed” in their reform to fascism. Took less than a decade of indoctrination and propaganda that got the population to look past the violence against multiple demographics, millions of people dead, in support of their ideals.
Critical race theory wants to use the population as the instrumental test, and it has to be sold through indoctrination and propaganda to do so. Even Thomas Edison had thousands of tests to get a light bulb to work. Really think we’d get it right the first time so that we don’t have millions dying from violence and/or hunger?
Because the majority of people in this country don’t like the idea of losing God-given rights for rights given by those in power, this will bring more violence. Some would be more equal than others (Orwell) in a chase for equity, which means equity fails again bringing equality down with it. If you’re not in that group of power, then you’re going right back to the bottom w/ new, most likely, rulers in a less efficient system. They may be more diverse though, so you’ve got that going for you.
There are too many people in this American bubble that have no relative reference of oppression. Even those that go out of the country stick to the tourist areas, which usually excludes oppressed areas, are blind to reality. These people (politicians) that you want controlling this caused Libya to bring slavery back. Nobody cares of course because it was Obama’s Admin. They’ve been running the world policing and drug war. Our current POTUS and VP both got separate legislations passed that caused an immense surge in blacks to be incarcerated for minor offenses. You really think these used-car salesmen aren’t focused on their profit? History proves that many put it before the welfare of people and state. Humans cannot run a system of power like this with any integrity, honor or efficiency.
We get those Star Trek replicators, then we can talk about socialism. Although, a society that CRT demands wouldn’t be nearly as quick in scientific progress. Either way, I’ll continue treating someone as an individual, which gives way to love.

Huh? Why would that be? Just more of the same ol' same ol'.
This took a lot of guts and care for other people for the participants to agree to be in this video.
Even as a black person myself, I understand the lack of sensitivity that privilege bestows on its beneficiaries. Growing up in Nigeria, West Africa, there was a sense of privilege that my tribe had above the other tribes, and because you can easily distinguish the tribes by their features, you were born into it.
Fortunately, since coming to the US years ago and having had to survive as a default underprivileged, I have truly been humbled by the dangers of the opposite of privilege, which is working and struggling really hard and being knocked down.
I am committed to help lesson the impact of negative privilege here in the US and in Africa.
Privilege felt much better than now that I do not have the privilege, but the cure is understanding the harm it does and then acting against it.
+Sunny T I completely agree. Privilege means one is set above other people. What I am really happy to see is that that MO is rapidly being turn down. It is a good thing.
Right, we have to fight against these racial privilege systems that cause harm to other groups of people's in terrible ways.
Why should it take _any_ kind of courage to state the blatantly obvious..!? Are you being brave or just factual because you highlighted your tribal realities?
Agree with everything you say, except for the ‘courage’ aspect. They’re not heroes, they’re just (in the main) mature but (what should be) ordinary white people...
@@chibuo4733 You are right from the observer's point of view. It is much harder for someone with privilege to see it's subtleties. When it comes to privilege in the Western world, the deified blond blue eyed depicted Jesus in the earlier part of the last millennium add to the privilege of European descendants.
This is not a bad thing, because a white Jesus helped elevate the European people to their own higher selves. I believe that black peoples losing our own identity and souls was a lucky, but unintended deeper consequence of forced conversions of African and other indigenous peoples of the world to Christianity. I believe more than the European robbing of resources from different parts of the world and enslavement of black people, the real boon to western privilege is "Write Jesus". What Christian in their right mind would not want to be like Jesus? However, it is a position that a black person could never reach. White is associated with purity, holiness and the sacred, while black is associated with adversary and evil. This is an untenable height in an unfortunately and socially constructed colorized world.
The fight for justice will forever be an uphill battle for non European descendants, but most especially the darkest pigmented people. And as long as we have majority of black people following Christianity (as well as Islam), the privileged European descendant (or Arab, in the case of Islam) can try all they want to let go of their privilege, we black people, in our christianized and undying internalized desire to be like white Jesus - The GOD, are doomed to elevating the European image above ourselves.
Essentially, Christianity and Islam have become black peoples ' tools of perpetual self-oppression and self-deprecation . Perhaps you realize what the solution is. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on what I laid out above.
Thanks for engaging me.
@@akindelebankole8080 white Jesus helped elevate Europeans because it pushed everyone else down that they forced Christianity onto which is the rest of the world. So it's not a bad thing... For them.

Absolutely fascinating. Unfortunately, honest unguarded conversations like this are rare. That question about "when did you become white" and the answers were insightful... what these immigrant groups may have lost through assimilation to become "white" and the awareness that the "benefit" of assimilation isn't bestowed on immigrant groups of color. Truly thought provoking film.
Very true
Without this sort of Critical Race Theory, how will white people be made to feel guilty? If whites can be taught that they are permeated with their privilege, then they can learn that blacks are never racists. Ultimately, whites will be taught self-flagellation, and groveling. Am I right?

I’ve been pulled over several times for speeding and my whiteness never worked for me, always got a ticket. Once I was driving on expired plates by two days, lady cop pulled me over and took me to the station. She had me sit in the room for over two hours with my dog until I found someone who could drive us home in my Jeep. She took my license, and later that night she came to my house to make sure I was still at home. I don’t think I’ve ever received “a break” just because I’m white. I’ve been told two times that I didn’t get a job because I was female and divorced, and I was even better qualified. Maybe I’ve never experienced special treatment because of my whiteness because I’ve always lived in a small city. I have mixed feelings on this video.

Whoa is you
Your individual experience does not negate the system that is in place. But the fact that you believe it's enough to disprove what is being revealed in this video is the problem. This is why it's so easy for people to continue racism and pretend that blacks are just making it up, its all in our mind. You have no reason to dismantle white supremacy because it does not harm you. And you can easily say it has never benefited you.
That's because there's no such "thing" as "white privilege" as some distinct, separate phenomena. It's ONLY the 'other side' of the "adverse racial discrimination" coin - the "other_ way of saying that same thing. So, minorities experience "prejudice" at times, in ways, by and from 'white people' whom are a majority in the U.S. Other "white people" don't experience *that* particular prejudice. That's all 'white privilege' is. The absence of racial prejudice among others of your own race. Thus, there's also 'black privilege' and 'asian privilege', etc.
That said, research has found that in terms of individuals' sense of identity, 'white' people have a small component of their race as their identity. In fact, the smallest element of all the races. Blacks have a rather high portion, the highest. Thus, they pay attention and subjectively experience and identify far more, as "being black" than do other races being their race. They also "interpret" many things, accordingly, when that's not necessarily accurate nor real nor true.

I never forgot 25 years ago applying for a job at Macy's in a upscale area of Baltimore. 2 young white girls were told we will give you a call. They had on flip flips and jeans. I had taken a class to wear a nice suit outfit heels to a job interview. I was ask, when can you start? I started a week later. Making good money good benefits. Their. Privileges didn't work for them. That day I was shock.
Seems to me that a large part of the ‘white privilege’ these folks are endlessly ruminating about is best demonstrated by all this nonsensical, non-productive narcissistic navel-gazing and silly self-flagellating.
I suspect that most black individuals find this crap dopey and insulting to their intelligence. Get over yourselves, silly people, and treat all people well.

SHEESH!
@Rhonda "I never forgot 25 years ago" Had this happened 50 years ago, this would have been a different story. I'm a black woman in my 40s & have been rather lucky at getting decent jobs. I do remember applying for a job at a movie theater in the 90s with a couple of friends. One was white & the other was Hispanic. They got hired but I didn't. I was naive & it never crossed my mind that race could have played a factor. One of the friends told me later that the guy who hired them didn't like black people. Of course, this was obvious to them once the started working for him. It was a mixed blessing for me. I wouldn't have wanted to work for a racist anyway but it's the principle of the matter that's hurtful.
That being said, let's not forget that "white privilege" is still a thing even if it's not as prevalent as it was a few decades ago. I doubt this guy has changed his stance on black people and there's no telling how many black people he intentionally chose not to hire during his time as a hiring manager.
@@michelep6300 ".the black people I’ve known can take care of themselves" I have to address this. White privilege is not about black people "not being table to take care of themselves." It's not about us wanting or needing to be dependent on white people. It's about not being afforded the same courtesy & opportunities as white people & white people being blind to it. Are we not supposed to point out discrepancies?
@@moneybags999 Go cry me a river people are tired of hearing you whine when all black people do is focus on race your a racist
But why is that shocking you look the part and put the effort of course you were the best choice.
As a black man my story of racist is different, and it was me and the whole neighborhood that picked on beat up daily the one white kid that lived in the hood, when we were kids, we played a little but dad and moms woop my A$$ for even playing with a white kid, and taught me to hate and bully him, and so did everyone else, we stole every bike that kid had, would beat him up and take his soda and candy if we saw him leaving the store, threw rocks thew his windows for fun, every day we would hit him at the bus stop, i feel horrible about this, and know us black people can be really bad for no reason only because it's what everyone else was doing and our parents approved, real talk i feel like the neighborhood owes this white kid a apology, and maybe a bike and all that stuff we beat up and took from him at least, i know we affected his life, he was buying hard at like 15 and lived a hard life in the hood just like us i feel so much shame
Hi John, thanks for your post but I just would like a little clarification if possible? The film don't suggest that individuals and small groups of one race of people aren't capable of being prejudiced (having biases attitudes/beliefs about different races) and capable of discriminating (behavior-treating people different based on racial difference). We can all hurt one another and be cruel because of some difference like racial/ethnic ones, although I'd argue the consequences are often very different when people of different races hurt one another. For example, the "legal' punishments/sentences met out to white people who hurt or kill black/brown folks has largely been way less severe than the punishments/sentences when Black folks have hurt white people.
Since the film focuses on whether white people, as a group, enjoy more social status, rights/"privileges" than people who are not white, and though I appreciate your honesty and sharing that when you were young you and your friends mistreated a white boy, simply because he was white, I'm not sure why you are sharing that in light of the film's central theme/questions about what it means to be white and is it a social and economic benefit to be classified as white?
I'd also suggest that your parents, who didn't want you to play with white children, likely had a very different reason than white parents who didn't want their children to play with non-white kids? I ask based on what folks of color have shared with me over the years where its typically the case that folks of color, who don't like "white people," do so because of how they have been treated by white people or how their racial group has been treated by white people? And when their kids play with white kids or possibly begin to date across race their displeasure is also often also driven by concerns of safety for their children? So the prejudice and discriminatory behaviors of folks of color are usually motivated by collective and personal experience, etc..,
On the other hand, the white folks in my life who don't like folks of color, or who might even say they 'like" folks of color but still don't want their kids socializing with them, or certainly not dating and marrying them, generally do so because they, consciously and/or unconsciously we feel/believe "they" are 'not as good" as their white children. So in a nutshell, our prejudice and discrimination is driven by a sense of "supremacy" not history or their own person experiences.
I bring this up because the belief in white superiority is a very different motivating factor than folks of color not liking white people because of what has happened historically or in ya'll's lived lives? I
Having said that, if I may ask, Joyn why do you think your parents didn't like white people? Do you think it was based on them feeling superior to white people or was there another reason?
Again, thanks for your comments.
Mark
@@markpgeorge that was way to much to read sorry, my family didn't like white people because they were racist, idk same reason why some white people don't like black people, I know this much me and all my friends and there families were all the same way, so we were all raised that way, or everyone wouldn't of beaten up the white boy for sport, if your trying to create a argument or justification for us acting that way, you should probably stop working on race stuff because we were all messed up, and wrong and racist and people are still like that, the white kid was just stuck on the wrong side of the tracks.
So John, help me with this, how do you define "racism?" What does it mean to you? I ask because its important to know that we are talking about the same thing.@@Civilwar.relics
@@markpgeorge there is a clear definition, you have a Google button when you apply it, you have to ask questions such as orgins, people's, and time periods. But simply question when one human being was owned by another. the word slave comes from the Slavic people's of Europe that were taken by the Spanish! The slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD. Slavery can broadly be described as the ownership, buying and selling of human beings for the purpose of forced and unpaid labour. It happened before Rome existed, it only ended on a island in Africa in 1981, before that, it was all European countries that abolished slavery first, then over a million white men die fighting in the American Civil War to end it, then 1883 Brazil ends slavery. So on the question what do I know on the subject probably a little bit more than you
@@markpgeorge and I'm telling stories that other black people won't because I do feel bad for my behavior, I do blame my parents and the community for making me have those horrible feelings towards white people for no reason, and I'm pretty successful and got my school for the most part paid for because I'm black, at a historically black university NC central, what's crazy is the white people going to the school paid the same, as me
At least they are honest....
Brainwashed morons.
A rare sight
@@ufewl truth hurts huh ?
@@realitycheck1092 Yes, these people in this video are truly brainwashed far left loons. This mentality of living in the past and feeling guilty about things perpetrated years ago does nothing. The far left thrives on race issues and promotes negativity rather than highlighting the positive. Jump to the conclusion of everyone is a racist, like the Twitter post by lebron james about a police shooting in Columbus Ohio without actually knowing the facts. Keeps the narrative going and facts are left out. Facts over emotions should be the most important thing. Are there racist people in the USA? Yes, but that is not the overbearing percentage of people and to attempt to portray the country in this way is false and not helpful in anyway.
@@mshinn13 did you highlight the positive no you went right to negative so what makes you better than the far whatever your talking about you sound like a victim like you want a cookie.
This is the most honest and straightforward conversation that I've heard so far! Now take action...

Good question, I do respect some of the answers. As an African living in the US I am always reminded who I am as person. Society would let you know incase you forgot what color you are
Very true.preach
@@cjay2 I didn't say it in positive way. I will guarantee you, your experience in Africa would hardly be a bad one.
This video is summed up within the first minute: "I don't like being a white man". "Whiteness" is such a wild concept that is just accepted as a framing. This discussion only happens in "white" majority countries. People in Asian majority, Hispanic majority, African majority, or any other majority countries are not having this kind of self-reflection. Go be a not-Japanese person in Japan (anyone not Japanese) as a prime example or a not-Korean person in Korea or a not-Indian person in India or a not-Arab person in any Arabian nation.
"Whiteness" is just code for "majority population", but is targeted only at white people through the framing and lens that them being in a majority is somehow unique from any other majority group in any other culture.
Grifting. All of it. The framing of these conversations is the problem and what keeps us all divided.
"U4iadreams"...."Asian, Hispanic, African" are "ethnic" distinctions, not racial ones created to maintain a racial hierarchy.....BTW....what are the "Hispanic" countries?.....:) Are you referring to Mexico? Its populated by Mexican folks, Spain?...Spanish......Peru? Peruvian....etc. , etc., etc., etc.........so accusations of "grifting?" made by someone behind an anonymous avatar/and pseudonym, when it appears that you don't understand the distinctions between ethnic, national, and racial identities.....seems a bit disingenuous at best..... regardless, peace and love to you "U4iadreams".
@@markpgeorge Nice attempt at a deflection without addressing the point being made. Would you have preferred I said "anything but 'white' culture majority nations"?
You are obviously somebody who has either not traveled to another country that wasn't "white" majority in your life *or* you're a grifter cashing in on racial tensions (like many others). You're free to address the actual point I made if you wish to contend my assessment, but we both know that you don't actually have an argument or else you would have engaged in good faith instead of reaching for ways to dismiss my critique.
Enjoy your grift. You could be a more honorable person and acknowledge that what I said is true and accept that people are tribalistic and prefer familiarity to not - regardless of where they are on the planet or if they won the culture wars or not. Hell, I just gave you endless content for analysis as there are loads of cultures and each one has norms and customs and, with very few exceptions (none that I know of but will allow for the possibility), these norms and customs are shared by heritage and, consequently, skin color (among other things). The USA is unique because a "white" majority was established early and therefore those founding members and early settlers based this nation on their own values. If Spain had taken North America as much as they did South, we would all be speaking Spanish right now, "white" people would be the minority and people like you would be making videos about "Spanishness" or "Conquistadorian progeny" instead of "Whiteness".
Sour grapes.

Admitting is one thing, but changing it is another...
Hi SkunkinTheTrunk,
I happen to be a white southerner from Georgia. For the record, this isn't about guilting anyone. The evidence/data shows time and time again that whites, as a racial group, have a fundamentally different experience in the U.S. - when compared to people of color.
Peace to you my friend.

There are two separate issues that need to be addressed. One is personal responsibility for recognizing and correcting one's personal bigotry towards others, reflected in unreasoning fear, dismissiveness, and ostracism. This is something everyone, regardless of race has to address; it is not limited to one group.
The other issue is to recognize that the dominant culture of this country is a white European one. That is a consequence of the country (I mean the political entity known as the United States) being based upon European moral and political values. The political system is European; the educational system is European; so is the economic system and most importantly, the underlying philosophical and moral systems on which all the others are based. It is inextricably embedded in all of our institutions and therein lies the problem. These systems weren't established to purposely and deliberately exclude other groups: they were established because these same white Europeans found them best suited for living within their own societies, without regard to others. Now we introduce those other groups into that culture and system. Some find these systems advantageous and easy to adapt to. Many others do not. Add to that the widespread personal bigotry displayed by members of the the demographically and socially dominant group and the systemic racism that so many protest becomes apparent.
We can address the issue of personal bigotry by holding individuals accountable for their behavior, educating them to regard others with empathy and to examine themselves, and challenge and encourage them to hold themselves to a higher standard of behavior. Systemic racism is far more difficult to address, because it is firmly embedded in the DNA of our culture and institutions. You can't completely remove it by tinkering with the laws and demanding changes in representation in government, education, and business, although these moves can alleviate some of the harm. You can only do so by uprooting the entire moral, philosophical, and political system upon which it is based. Wipe the board clean and replace it with something else.
The problem then becomes, what do you replace it with? The only remotely competitive systems that I can think of are also of white European origin. Adopting another cultures institutions simply replaces one flavor of systemic racism with another. As unfair, unjust, and damaging as the current system is, it has been relatively stable and at least provides some measure of self correction through equal protection under the law, regular opportunities to replace ineffective leadership, and guaranteed freedom of expression so those in the minority can at least be heard. The power of it is best reflected by how much these same rights have been and are being adopted by other cultures and countries around the world.
I don't believe we are therefore finished and that nothing can be done to improve what we have; I don't believe we should ever stop trying to recognize and remove embedded elements that disadvantage particular groups. But I do believe that the current system, because of its origins and its underpinning moral and philosophical basis, will always retain some measure of advantage and disadvantage, whether based on race, gender, or class. At some point, we are going to have begin the really hard work of coming up with something new, something that embodies in its core, the values of equality, fairness, and justice for all that we aspire to. I just don't know what that is.
@@BlmCtySanDept Well stated, Papa T.
Does having a "fundamentally different experience in the U.S." for white people make it morally reprehensible? Wouldn't any person of a different culture have the same experience in any other country? Can you tell me if another country exists where they've been better able to tackle this issue?
@@twodogs3868 the Netherlands
@@mindyours8343 Very true. I've been there and it's much better than the U.S. as it pertains to inclusion, but the same can be said for any liberal Eurozone country. Hell, Europe is generally the best place to experience this considering there's many different races, ethnicities, nationalities, and most importantly LANGUAGES all within driving distance of each other. So yes, the Netherlands is better. I guess I posed the question wrong. Maybe I should have said, "Name a country where race relations have been normalized to a point where one of the member groups doesn't complain about marginalization or racism? " Netherlands would be close, but there's a strong far-right and far-left element there that are at odds, which foments harsh criticism from political groups with an agenda, and consequently a wedge issue which allows them to exploit it.
their honesty has earned this vid one for the algorithm
It left me saying WOW how bold of them to be honest.
Honestly brainwashed, isn't being honest, it's just being brainwashed!!
Damn I’m black and I’m shocked. Walk in the bank with no job asking for money? I would never even have thought of that one.
I've worked in banking for decades. More than likely they had assets to secure the loan.
My position is there are too many people when it comes to racism who do not want to change, the idea of being on top, appearing to be superior, suites them just fine. There are alcoholics who know drinking isn't good for them but does knowing it stop them? "I don't think so!"
Great analogy
Yep, and there is also sizable minority in the black community who think the world owes them just because they're black. It doesn't and nor do white people - those with or without privilege.
@@edmundbell-king4538 I'd say if it weren't for those hateful Whites that made sure Blacks stayed in rub down communities then they wouldn't still be believing after generations of been denied the sames rights as those keeping them down.
When the question was asked, "when did different ethnicities become white", I really believe that the people answering were really trying to give their most honest and best answer to it, but not one person gave the most direct and honest answer, which is, when did they become white, when it became convenient. Point Blank. Everyone appears, for the most part, to come across as genuine and sincere. Everyone spoke in-depth about it being an obvious divide, but not a single solitary person gave any concrete evidence on how they are approaching a solution. That was hurtful.
I don’t think they want a solution. If they did, there’d be one. Just my opinion though.
@@A_Priori_Obvious I agree. It’s like every white Persian from SA says “I was against Apartheid”. Well if you was all against it, why did it happen in the first place.
The people here honest about it, but that’s it. A mafia man is honest he’s a criminal. That doesn’t mean he’s going to stop.
@Chris Dawson, arrogance/narcissism is no doubt a malignant spirit that's praised by society instead of shunned! Moreover, narcissism isn't just exclusive to ppl with a certain physical appearance, it's prevalent amongst all classes of ppl. Also, self-abasement is just as bad as narcissism because narcissist feeds off the insecurities of ppl to even become relevant. The moral of the story is to understand the mindset of a narcissist so as to not to become it or become a victim.
Nature is fixing the problem. The UV A, B, C Radiation will continue to increase, their infertility will continue to expand, Opioid addictions, suicide rates, etc., etc., until the the population of pale people is so small, their influence will become negligible.
My husband was born and raised in post war Germany. I grew up in the USA where a lot value is placed on race and ethnicity as indicated in this documentary. We moved and lived in Germany right after we were married in 1978. In the USA I'm seen as a Mexican alien third class citizen according to my ethnicity, even though I'm an American. In Europe they treat me like everyone else. The world knows of Germany's and USA's' history of ethnic and racial genocide. Germans are aware, while Americans are not. Germany mass murdered about 6 million people, Americans about 20 million (Native Americans, African slaves and Asian railroad workers). Germans are ashamed, while it appears that Americans are not ashamed at all, they're even arrogant and prideful. Certain Americans in other countries are often called "ugly Americans". At first I didn't understand, but now I see what they mean. I think the people who made this documentary, specifically selected those that would be considered "ugly Americans" in other countries.
It would be interesting to know where you are getting this 20 million figure from and what time frames are being used.
I am so glad that I saw this doc. What I have heard enlighten me as a black person. This doc. would be a special television series. Specially in the climate that we live now. Thank you so much.😊💐
It would be better if it had included as many people that have something very different to say, which would have been more realistic, accurate and real.
16:40 "When I get pulled over I don't get tickets. The policemen usually apologize" SAY WHAT?
I'm white. I drive beat up used cars, and don't dress nice since I dismantle buses. My work truck is always stuffed w/ tools and parts and machinery. Unlike these professors, I get treated poorly by the police. I get tickets. I get mistreated, harassed when I ride my 10 speed bike in my low income neighborhood.
It's not always race, it's also your perceived level of wealth, which is power. If the law thinks you're poor, your life chances diminish quickly and you can expect the worst.
Thank it’s called your social economic situation or position
You're nuts.
She was describing a woman thing. I've seen girls bring the fake tears and the sob story , get told don't do it again and free to leave than laugh and say what an idiot. Must be nice to have tits. I have a penis,... I will get searched, put in the police car, have had a guns to my head just because of driving crappy cars that I can only afford because they look suspicious. WTF does that mean. Even had a cop go down my road to come back up and throw his lights on because our vehicle looked suspicious sitting at the end of our driveway with our lights on at near 10 at night. Our driveway is 600 ft long and we took our van down to check the mail and put the garbage out. Got searched as did the car, looked at the tires and the lights and had to get my mom to verify I lived there even though my licenses said I did. The reason was is looked very suspicions. So my van at the end of the driveway on with the lights on with me checking my mailbox looked suspicious. I had saw him drive past and hadn't moved in the time it took him to go down the hill and turn around to come up it. My driveway has a sharp bend at the beginning. Drive up 30 ft shut off lights and no one would see ya. Sorry lady if I don't agree with ya. Cop's are power tripping and a woman doesn't get there ego going but a man does. especially one that they know cant get a lawyer or afford to do anything fight back. I call them revenue officers. I always got a ticket when pulled over and every time I've run into them try their hardest to get ya on something even when they are there for someone else.
See how you wrote this essay to try to diminish the facts? That’s how the cycle continues.
If you were black you would have been shot for being at fault but as a white guy you were just rebuked.
So dark-skinned people must have been on these lands already. Good video. 👍
Great point! I'm sure most of us were already here despite the out of Africa to America slave narrative
They were. It was turtle island before
'Negro de Terra', 'Discovery of the Origin of the Name of America' by Thomas de st Bris. 'Making the Indian White' by Greg Ablavsky(ch4 white and black indians), and 'Observations Concernig the Increase of Mankind ' by Benjamin Franklin section 14; 'most of the world is black, tawny, rudy,.. etc'.
I think it's amazing how this history is covered up, and seemingly none even interested. Even when you have proof in writting in the form of government acts, or from very famous founding fathers. William Penn even describes the natives as tall and dark. I am totally overwhelmed at what could be considered proof that melanated people( whites included because they at one time had melanin until albinism), are as ancient as the land itself( Negro de Terra). What could be done to survive the sun's rays before development of sun screen? Red stuff Aboriginals wore was type of insect repellent. Its simply common sense that the racist try to negate. Even dark skinned morranis( converso laddino speaking Moors of Al andalusia, Spain) are omitted, even though they showed Columbus where the 'new world'was, and which current to take. Look at the picture of 'Treaty of Grenada'. Look at subjects of Boabdil( seated on black horse opposite Queen Isabella). Consider Juan Gurrido, who brought wheat to the American continent. What would we do without wheat? Why ommitt this from endoctrination system?
