I haven’t seen anyone answer your question of, “What is head lice?”. Head lice are tiny bugs that like to live in non-oily hair and eat from the scalp. When someone washes their hair too often and fails to use conditioner, it strips the hair of its natural oils, and they become susceptible to head lice.
Dr Thomas Sowell found during his research for a book he wrote was that less than 5% of White people in America have ancestors that owned slaves. Chomp on that for a bit. I cannot speak for others but I personally have ZERO "white guilt". I am only responsible for my actions. Also, everyone had slaves at some point in history and America is the ONLY nation to ever fight, to end it...then we used our economic might to help end it around the world via trade.
I promise to subscribe if you get the single white beard hair off. Seriously, is driving me crazy. The whole beard is perfectly combed, with one white string hanging out.
I nanny so I really like to get kids’ perspectives on things because sometime I find that they’re really profound. A five year old learned about MLK in school so I asked “what did he do?” He said “He made people be nice to each other.” I loved that answer. He’s too young to comprehend racism, race, or even hatred. All he could comprehend was that MLK led people to be nice to each other. I thought that was so simple yet so beautiful.
I feel horrible for what people did to other human beings in those times it's absolute horrid and disgusting but I don't feel guilt about anything because it's nothing I had any part in and I live my life being a good person to everyone, if someone is nice to me I'm nice to them and likewise if they're pricks. I can't control what happened before my time but I can control my life and my impact.
I think if I came from "Old Money" i would feel some guilt that my family was allowed to amass wealth. I definitely do feel a sense of white privilege.
@@oxxification Why would you, though? You are NOT responsible for anything your ancestors did. There is no 'sins of your father/mother', and you could not take the responsibility from them even if you wanted to.
2:09 as a white dude I have to say I've actually thought about this a lot, and my conclusion is that I can't really feel guilty since my ancestors had nothing to do with slavery as they were poor Polish/Germanic/Celtic immigrants who had themselves actually had family members sent to Russian work camps, but I still acknowledge that slavery of every type is disgusting in my view and so I find it deplorable. Do I feel GUILTY for American slavery, no. Do I feel TERRIBLE that slavery existed in America, of course. I think it is unfortunate that a lot of people forget that a large percentage of white people have ancestors that have themselves escaped things like slavery, and whose ancestors had not only disagreed with but fought against slavery, and this leads to undeserved hate.
There is not a race or culture that hasn't conquered or enslaved others throughout history from Egypt to the mings or the huns or the Persians or Roman's or the Moors
You are very right but all those civilizations didn't just target one single race/group of people who they deemed as sub humans, whose purpose alone were to be used as slaves. The Romans, Persians, Moors, Egyptians etc didn't just go after one groupd alone, they enslaved everyone and most were during war time where the victor took survivors as slaves.
@@xafbxmoto269 No they were not. There were slaves long before Slavic culture. WTF is this guy talking about? The first slaves were slavic people? So you mean to tell there was no slavery until slavic people culture came along in the 5th century?
@@johnorona99 yeah, because he totally asked a white dude what black people say behind white peoples backs. my father taught me an important lesson when i was young, "give two seconds of thought before you say anything, it keeps you outta trouble and stops you from looking stupid".
Not from USA so cant have much guilt about it, but even if i was from there i wouldnt had any guilt, i feel guilt from what i do, not from what people did for 100-200 years ago. Im from norway so would be like me being guilty for vikings went around killing babies, raping and killing women, killing men and pillaging, i dont feel a inch of guilt, if i dont do it, then it got nothing to do with me.
i think you went to far with kiling babies but i do understand youre point besides vkings fucked up other white poeple if they would kill other races believe me there would be movies about how bad vkinigs were and how having a norse tatto or pendant its a racist simbolism.
I think it depends on how old you were when you learned about your ancestors. I found out about being plantation owners on my dad's side in elementary school. And I wasn't as attached to that heritage as I might be as an adult. Same as my virulently racist grandma; who'd absolutely be trying to hide ping pong paddles. But I always looked at it as living examples of what I didnt want to be as an adult and to do better.
I don't feel bad for what my ancestors may or may not have done, mainly because I had no control over their actions. The world used to be a horrible place everywhere all the time 24/7, we've come a long way and I choose to not dwell on things that I had no part of and can't change.
I'm Irish so my ancestors were slaves or or fought in the NY gangs wars i know my great great grandfather was a link in the underground railroad so i feel the pain of history
I love your reactions AND “Half and Jai’s” reactions to Bill Burr. As a 71 year old white lady, I can tell you I had ancestors in both sides of the civil war; meaning, I had southerners fighting for the south (Virginia and Missouri) and others fighting for the Union (Missouri which was a border state so people had allegiance to either side in the same family). None of them owned slaves. As for guilt, I can’t say it have it. Instead I have sympathy for what your ancestors had to endure by slave owners. But since my family have their lives and blood to free your ancestors, I call it part of our shared past, for better or worse. I’m old enough to remember black kids being escorted into school by national guards when segregation was ended and being amazed that black kids couldn’t go to school with White people. As for “N games”, I have no idea what you’re talking about?🤷🏻♀️ As for me, I think we are all humans and it’s good to laugh at our differences rather than try to deny they exist! Growing up, the only black people I saw were families going to the zoo like my White family. I remember most of the women wore slippers, but they were all just as curious about the zoo animals as we were and we basically ignored each other as we did other tourists. We were there to see the animals. At my age, I’ve learned we are far more alike than we are different! Keep up the good video reactions. God bless you and your family! 👍🥳
Great reaction. Bill Burr, takes a serious topic and puts a interesting comedy value to it 😂🤣😅. It really challenges the thought process. Stay Safe 🙂 🙏
When I was about 5 or 6 there was some kid in first or second grade that taught me the N word. It was in some racist rhyme and I did not know what the word meant. I thought it sounded cool so when I was picked up that day I told my mom. She yelled at me all the way home, told my dad, and let him smack the shit out of my with a belt for saying that word. I'm white. My parents are white. I grew up in Texas. The point of me saying that is to just put out some level of difference to yall wondering if white families play the N word "game"(?). The issue with your question is the same reason people are arguing about any specific topic today. Generalization. The majority of people today are too overwhelmed with the sheer amount of people on this planet and are too lazy to actually pinpoint the problem individuals. So we generalize. But doing that creates a blanket of hate. When you wave your hand at a group of people when you are only referring to a select few, the people not involved will either pull back or lunge forward. We need to take the time to address the individual instead of the group. All that said, I like your reactions. Glad to see you gaining more subs. Road to 1 mil 😁👍
The first time I ever went to the US two huge black guy's screamed at me in Detroit about slavery. I said first I'm from Canada, and second my family has only been in North America since the 1930's and back in Russia they didn't inslave many men they shot them in the head over 80% back then, he shook my hand and said sorry man
When I see these movies and when I hear my friends stories that their grandparents told them, it breaks my heart. I wouldn't want anything like that to happen to you or anyone else. It is gut wrenching that our ancestors did that then handed down their punishment to me. I think we need to see those kind of things as a reminder to be better to my brothers and sisters with different pigment. Take care man.
I love that the dad is laughing more at the jokes than his son. I wish I could watch Bill Burr with my father and share that with him. This is parenting at its best, this is what I would do if I had a son. Love it! :)
I don't take any responsibility or have any guilt for anyone's past or current actions but my own. I also have the original Roots series on bluray and love it. When Kunta had the chance to leave the plantation but chose to stay so he could be a family with his wife and baby daughter, that was deep.
Trivia fact: NFL Hall of Fame Running Back Jim Brown was one of the greatest Lacrosse players ever back in college at Syracuse in 1950's and is also in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
That Grandad father analogy was good and basically how I feel. It's disgusting what people were put through back then, but I don't know how to respond when I'm expected to feel bad about it, because I don't. I recognise how horrible those events were, but I wasn't there, wasn't apart of it, so there is no guilt for me to feel
I'm soooooo glad you mentioned Django. To me, that is one of the best, most satisfying movies ever put on film. I've seen it more times than you can count. I'm talking every night for years -- on DVD, even when I'm sleeping. And, I'm a middle-aged, fat, white, homo whose ancestors literally owned slaves. God, I love Django Unchained. The satisfaction of seeing all of those evil mofos get what's coming? Glorious!
Great video. Bill Burr is unfiltered. He’s one of the few comedians that can take cheap shots at any race of people on Earth and get away with it because everyone knows he’s ballsy and doesn’t have hate behind his jokes. That’s why he’s already a legend. And check out Greg Giraldo. Another trailblazer (RIP Greg).
Most white people are fairly colorblind now. Only once in my life has another white person said something racist to me. Old friend from the military. He shocked me recently by saying that he hates N-words. I had to break off all friendship with him, and that was sad. But it was absolutely necessary, and other whites ought to do the same. Like Bill Burr said "you gotta hang out with everyone." Ethnic diversity is everything. Not many people cook and use only salt & pepper.... gotta use a variety of spices or youre gonna have some bland food to eat. Your son seems like a bright guy. Bravo.
Listen when people start trying to guilt trip me for my ancestors i just wanna look at them and honestly ask how they make it in the world, I’m like look, was it terrible of course it was I don’t agree with it, but damn I don’t feel shit for them, they are dead, been dead, and guess what I can only control my life idk what you want me to do about it lol 😂, I treat everyone the same so don’t come at me with the “your ancestors enslaved us” first off no they enslaved your ancestors but I understand what your saying, I just don’t feel bad I didn’t make that decision
Norman Benton I don’t gotta think about it at all lmao, I never said that what happened was right or that people shouldn’t be equal, they should, but I also don’t have to sit there and let people try and make me feel bad for things I didn’t do because just like them I didn’t ask to have fucked up ancestors, I didn’t do it I’m not going to feel any guilt for it lmao, idk if you really got what I said and/or if I even read your comment right I read it so if I don’t understand something then pls explain I would like too.
@@dancooper1 i read that other comment differently, i didn't take it to mean they were admitting to being racist (though i don't know if they are or not), i understood it as you can't feel guilty for what other people do, only for your own choices and actions. So IF i were to continue the racist tendencies of others and pass on those ideals, THEN i should absolutely feel guilty. Although most racists don't feel guilt at all because they are so full of hate and don't see anything wrong with it.
Yes! As a white person I have been appalled at the horrors of slavery. Aside from the outright cruelties perpetrated I am also painfully aware of the tragedies of the broken families, the shattered lives, the destruction of future dreams, and the generational devastation. Yes, many of us have a conscience.
I don’t know if you guys will even see my comment since it’s been 4 years ago that you put this on your channel, but I want to let you know that me personally DO feel extremely bad about what my race did back in those days with some of it still lingering! I watch movies like ‘The Help’, and shows like ‘Roots’ to educate myself about what really happened. I sure didn’t learn it in school growing up in Mansfield, Ohio. Will Smith’s movie ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ is such a great movie. ‘Hidden Figures’ is so well done and shows how people can overcome atrocities done to them. There are many more that I have forgotten the titles, but every time my husband and I discuss how strong people are in their faith to rise above the horror. I pray the scars will continue to heal. Hopefully sooner than better. I don’t want anyone to continue in pain. I hope for a future without any racism at all. God bless you for having the guts to comment on this. I am however, ignorant of the what the game is you’re talking about! It sounds bad.
Just quick tip guys : When you stop the video, just before you start play it again, push on the backwards button to understand the jokes because you're missing good bits. besides that keep up the good work fellas.
Different movies are made for different reasons. Some want to tell a story. Some want to help you understand what it's like to be in someone else's shoes for awhile. Some want to show you the consequences of choices you probably wouldn't make. You never know. Movies are art, so they're a form of communication. The message they try to deliver is often not direct or verbal, they try to lead you to some emotional place. Like if I tell you "be scared", you're not even ABLE to make yourself actually feel fear just because I said those words. So how do you communicate when words aren't enough? That's what art is.
Kids are playing lacrosse now! Only in America ,lol. I am from UK pretty sure it's still considered posh peoples game. Didn't see any lacrosse being played on my estate. "Does one feel like playing lacrosse today?"
The first of my ancestors to come to the US was my great, great grandfather, who fled Germany, and the Nazis, just ahead of WW2, in the late 1920s, so, no guilt here. LOL, he stowed away on a cruise ship, as kitchen crew, and sneaked off the ship in Philly. It absolutely sucks that slavery happened, but my ancestors had nothing to do with it.
That’s was slavery. What about segregation that was happening when your ancestors were here? What about systemic racism that gave your ancestors privileges that black people didn’t have in their own country? What about the quantifiable privileges that you have today based solely on your race? The evidence is clear surrounding this. You have no guilt because you are racist. Period. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
@@DrSeanKennedy ... His ancestors had nothing to do with slavery. He doesnt have to feel guilty about that. He can work to end racism today, but why should he feel guilty about something his ancestors, completely different people didnt do? By that logic, every single person in the world should feel guilty for some shit. Constantly. I dont feel any guilt for whatever anyone else did. Not my doing, not by guilt to be had. I do my part in ending racism, with my privilege to help it. Should I feel guilty because my grandpa was racist? What does my action have to do with his? Get the fuck outta here with that logic. Thats the thinking that give us on the left of politics a bad name. Use your privilege to help progress the world, but stop promoting hating oneself for whatever the fuck someone else with your skincolor did. Thats dumb as shit.
@@runthemeows1197 I was pretty explicit in my previous comment, but you choose to ignore it to make yourself feel better about injustice that specifically benefits YOU above people of color. These systems that benefit you and every other white person exist TODAY, not just the 19th and 18th centuries. The fact that you feel its okay to "use your privilege to help progress the world," shows just how tone-deaf you are. Like you're some white savior. Like there's nobility in righting those wrongs caused by your ancestors. That's like destroying my car, then wanting acknowledgement for rebuilding it to its original condition. It should have never been destroyed (kidnapped, sold, beaten, raped, and treated like a slave) in the first place. Fuck your grandpa. You have no guilt because YOU'RE racist. Period. No need to bring your racist grandpa into it. I'm done explaining this shit. Like I said, if you're not with us, then you're against us. But we're defending ourselves this time. Malcolm, not Martin. I'm done entertaining this interaction.
DrSeanKennedy The car analogy doesn’t make sense. Why should I feel guilty for something that happened when I wasn’t even alive, I had absolutely nothing to do with slavery and neither did my ancestors.
@@DrSeanKennedy Im saying using ones privilege to help better the world out of guilt is the wrong reason. Using it because its the right thing is what one should do. Also, my grandparents did jack shit to african americans, seeing as my ancestry is norwegian back to the 1400s, and being FAR left in political stance, being active in counter-demos against racist groups here, and actively trying to help make change happen doesnt matter I guess? If Im bad solely from my skincolor, even if I try to use that skincolor for the betterment of society, seeing as I cant choose to be not-white more than black people can choose to be black, Im really baffled at your retarded views. Im white, thus im racist apparently. Good to know. This kind of dumb shit is why the left looses support to the alt right with their false promises and hidden agendas, but sure. Keep helping the fucktards in that camp. Edit: Ive also supported the BLM movement constantly. Ive defended rioting as I see why, ive defended it all. As I understand. Im not claiming to be a savior. Im saying i am privileged for my skincolor, and I use that privilege to assist those without it to the best of my ability. Im not asking for jack shit in return. I dont care if i gain or lose on it. Everyone is equal in worth, and thus I stand for that in everything. Making an enemy of allies is dumb as shit.
Good question. FWIW I'm an old white guy who's always treated peaceful, honest people fairly. If they're peaceful I'm peaceful, and happy to be so. All the vicious behavior through human history, no matter the motive, is owned by people who committed it and not something I'd blame on myself or any other innocent person today.
It's not directly Eminem's fault lol but in general it's a very bad word and it's malicious. it's a slur towards a group of people that is very harmful. Just like the N word
Well I am white Scottish and have black family like cousins, aunty etc and i never really knew about racism growing up and wasn't until I learned it at school which really shocked me. I think it's sad that there is still a divide in the world based on skin colour.. The way I see it, there is a lot of different skin colours but we all have red blood so we should look at what we have in common instead of looking to see why we are different. My girlfriend is half Scottish, half Jamaican.. Love and positivity to all for 2022 P.s love the reaction videos ❤
I wasn't into the original Roots series, back in the day, so never watched it. However, got the audiobook decades later and could not turn it off. It's a masterpiece if you've never heard it. Much more in-depth than the tv series. And when you take the time to think that there was this young kid out in the woods making a drum for his brother's birthday & all of a sudden his life is slammed against a wall so hard that there's barely room to breathe. And he spends his life just trying to get the hell home. It's all he wanted. All the dude wanted was to get the hell home. But he was never gonna do it, and we all know he's never gonna get home, but he doesn't. To this day I feel bad about that kid. I mean, Alex Haley's writing of his family's history is completely on point for the entire story.
to your question about guilt: i´m from germany and it is my privilege and my duty, to stand up and speak out against racism whenever, wherever. i am not responsible for my grandparent´s actions, but for my own i am!
In the movie Glory when Denzel gets caught sneaking off the civil war army base and they punish him by whipping him. It rips me apart every single time I see it. The hideous injustice of using a whip on a freed slave fighting for the union army. It's awful.
Excellent observation. And Black soldiers coming home from WW2 were still getting lynched - right in uniform!- as a message that they better not get too confident with themselves.
@@TheDivayenta Yep, the South is littered with the stupid statues of confederate generals they put up in the early 1900's as a scare tactic against black Americans. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Roots came out when I was 8 years old. it was so eye Awakening and painful to watch. it would shape the rest of my life and how I thought about racism.
OK... I have to say this.... NO ... we DO NOT play N-Word games!... LOL you're hilarious! Love this channel . :) I can't wait to tell the wife... "He said what?"
Great reaction. You should keep your boy around for comedy reactions. You bounce off each other well and it's always nice seeing how the younger generations see the old school. Maybe help him make a channel? Then you outright double the work. Sorry, I'm getting ambitious to do something again myself. Do what you do, but your duo is great for REAL comedians.
You alls comedy reactions are on point,ironic how comedians seem to know their shit. We get entertained and educated at the same time. To answer your question yes white guilt is real,when you go back in your mind it can feel pretty shitty. But on the flipside just speaking for myself I know I've never endorsed or partook in anything racially motivated. i just hope one day the world gets to a point where these conversations don't happen
I love your responses and vids, especially because it involves family members making it multi-generational. I found your site from being a fan of Bill Burr and Chris Stapleton. I love the way both can break through racial divides and leave you with raw universal emotion regardless of race. I have enjoyed your videos and look forward to more.
Uno! Lol good one! Little history - Lacrosse (which is Canada's official game - I know, not hockey, eh?) is originally a tribal game played by native Americans & Aboriginal peoples in America & Canada (and still is in Canada), which was then adopted & adapted sometime after the 17th century by Europeans. Wouldn't make as good of a movie - white team overcomes racial obstacles to prove their just as good as Aboriginal people in playing lacrosse!
Wow, your daughter is beautiful and your son is very handsome. Your wife must be absolutely gorgeous!! I love watching you react with your kids, it's heartwarming. You're such a great father, you inspire me to be a better parent to my son. I'm so happy you mentioned (very quietly because he was working on his assignments) your son working on his STEM classes over the summer, I got my son some STEM assignments to work on for the summer as well. He loves STEM and I could kick myself for not thinking of it sooner. So, thank you!! By the way, I bet your son aces his class! Excellent reaction video as usual!!! 😍😍
I personally never saw race difference when i was young. I just knew some people looked different and that's it. I studied history and not just one side of it. I learned many things. Fortunately for me, i am not from U.S but Quebec, the french part of Canada who have been oppressed as much as the first nations in the rest of Canada. But even our Nationalism faded away. I'm proud that society evolve. After educating myself i just was happy to see everyone getting along more than in the past. I thought we all learned something. Except the racist old stubborn people, things was going better until people go crazy and starts asking reparation for things they didn't suffer themselves by the hand of our ancestors that are not me. That's just evil. Let's get along and laugh.
I think it all the time even though my ancestors were military and coal miners so didnt have any part of what happened back then and i have many black friends who know I dont treat them any differently than any other friend I have cause we shouldn't treat someone based on the colour of their skin- love your reactions LFR FAMILY
As far as movies that make you think, I think your oldest girl might like: What Dreams May Come, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or Running With Scissors. She's that kind of deep thinker
I think you were more right than you know about Em being a big part of why we don't choose to use that word anymore. The biggest rock of sanity and support Em had getting sober, was Elton John. When you're finally at your rock bottom and need to ask for help or give up and just die in a corner somewhere alone, and you make that choice to reach out your hand in the dark, flailing for a reason not to give up, you learn so much about the person connected to the hand that grabbed yours then and yanked you out of your own abyss. Without even needing to say it out loud, Em choosing to drastically reduce his use of that word and, in my own imagination only choosing to say it now is after having a convo with Elton and him saying, this is funny and appropriate. I get it and I laughed. Point being, we all make mistakes, that is the way we learn. And sometimes, sharing our struggle to get learning from a mistake right, changes the world in ways we never expected.
I grew up in upstate ny playing lacrosse in a town “famous” for lacrosse with over 30 national championships. But we used to play First Nations teams and teams who had guys from reservations during random tournaments and you natives would kick the absolute shit out of us. There was no doubt that it’s in your blood. Always a humbling experience lol
I got a question for you. With all this BLM & Antifa stuff. Why don't you trow all those people out of Your country? You where there first. It's your land. 💯
Longer vids! But don't try hard.Y'all got real content. You are my new sit com. Please Just Stay real. Every 15min feels like 5 cuz I'm tuned in. Youngster is so smart and humble. Secret college money?
I'm 22 living in NW NC. My dad is from Alabama and my Mom is from the coast of NC. I have heard both of my grandpas use the hard r. One of them maybe once or twice and the other one less than 10. Though they still said it, but they grew up in a time before it was a disgrace. Some people would disown their family for stuff like that, but I could never. We all make mistakes small and large, and I've been forgiven for mine, so I feel no urge to condemn them for theirs. But no, we never played the n game lol. If you're gonna say it, you'll say it, but these days, I haven't heard anyone younger than my grandparents, except for a dumb cousin and my younger, naive self, use the word. I won't even say it in a song by myself, unless I get egotistical and get to feeling myself. But noone on this planet will ever catch me saying the word unless you got atleast $1000 in hand without the er and $10,000 for the er. Aint no way you could blame me for that lol
My people didn’t get here til the early 1900’s from Italy & Ireland & yeah that shit that was done & continues to be done to people simply because of how they were born makes me feel sick to my stomach …..wrong is wrong & right is right….bring back shame but accompany it with empathy
That opening when y'all were talking about grandfather's whooping ass and what you're supposed to say. "shit I might laugh, I don't know". That's really how it is. I don't know how you want me to react. I can't say personally cause my ancestors came over long after slavery, but I 'd have to imagine that there's not much of a response. Like, I may be white and all but I never whipped nobody and I've never treated somebody poorly without knowing their character. I can't imagine how it was in those times, but I don't know if I should be judged for people I have no connection to other than a 150-year-old bloodline. To me, the past was tragic but it was the best. The best that we can do is create a brighter future from the hand we were dealth.
To answer your question, yeah, "white guilt" is a very real thing, although I feel like "guilt" is the wrong word... more "white embarrassment", I think. Like "Oh god, I can't believe my bloodline had such ignorant monsters in it". I guess it depends on whether someone believes in being held accountable for the sins of the father as to whether it's guilt or embarrassment. But the way I see it, those folks never knew me and I never knew them. My immediate family is where my views were formed, and they taught me love and compassion for all fellow humans. Any guilt I carry is for my own past inaction when seeing prejudice occur, something I've since resolved to never do again. I dunno, it's a complicated topic that TH-cam comments aren't really a good platform for, haha. I think this is a topic that needs back-and-forth discussion. But yeah, I'm glad you asked that, it really got me thinking about where the limits of accountability may or may not be, even beyond race, just in general.
I have lots of friends that are both old school(arcades) and new school(home consoles) gamers. As a matter of fact my best friend's family bought one of the first gaming consoles "Intelevision" when we were in High School. Back in the early '80's.
Yeah Bill is exactly right about it being behind the scenes and/or not overt. This is oddly directly related to his story, but my mom went around my old neighborhood back in the early 1970s to get the by-laws of our pool changed to allow black people to join the pool. This is before I was born so I'm hazy on the details. A couple people in the neighborhood were upset about it, but the way they got mad was more subtle. They made a sour face, got real cold. My Mom said one of the people used to give her old clothes for some charity drive and after that she never did again. None of them screamed at her or whatever. It was more subtle. My Mom didn't do any of this out of guilt, I don't think she feels any. She was just a Wisconsin girl, daughter of a 2nd gen german immigrant living in northern Virginia. Its hard to describe to modern americans sometimes since this was before wide spread TV, but in reality while my mom rarely ever saw black people in Wisconsin, she equally never saw a white southerner. Both are equally different. The nature of mid-west Wisconsin settled by german immigrants was much different than Virginia old old south settled by British/Scotch Irish. Her context was mostly people who were the sons and daughters of german immigrants with some scandanavian from Minnesota. When she was growing up most small towns had a Protestant side of town and a Catholic side of town. For her, the old school religious divides of Europe (which killed millions in the 1600s-1700s, killed 40% of the german population at one point) were far far more a real and apparent thing than any racial divide. This country almost had german be the national language back in the 1780s just becaue so many german wanted to GTFO of Europe and stop dying from religious divides. Its one the main reasons we have that Amendment. The 30 years war was a hell of a thing. I think this was before my Aunt married a black man, and my grandfather welcomed him into the family. They just didn't care. From her POV people are people and should be treated as such. Something like that movie Roots, well its a shame people do and continue to do horrible things to each other, but I don't think she feels any guilt at all, just that it was one more example in the long litany of hurtful divisions in history. Germany was ground zero for the religious wars of Europe right before the founding of the US, the perspectives of the various different european immigrant groups is quite different due to details like this. Similarly the French and Indian war was actually part of a much larger world wide conflict. There are a collection of "wars" that all happened at the same time across the globe and they were all the British vs the French. Why do you think the British were busting into people's homes and rifling through their stuff way before the revolution? This is why we are required that warrants in the US have a specific thing they are looking for. The British would just write a warrant and trash people's entire home looking for stuff. Why would they do this? Washington was in the French and Indian war, it was very close to the revolution. What were the British looking for? Perhaps they were looking for French spies and they ran roughshod over everyone else to do so ... this is the context of the British immigrants of the 1700s. Its vastly different than the germans who just wanted to stop dying and GTFO. Then you get the early 1900 wave of Italian, Polish and Germans immigrants. Their context is again quite different. Keep in mind Italy has only been a country as its currently constitued for about 120 years or so. And southern Italians were not even considered "white". Italy, for over a 1000 years, was a collection of republics that considered themselves cousins but different. During the wave of Italian immigrants, the current country we call Italy had been formed within living memory. We lump all of this together as "white" now in the US and, frankly, its a worthless category. Its so meaningless that its useless. Not that it doesn't have an effect, but its simply made up. In 1847 British landlords put the Irish of the potato famine onto coffin ships and shipped them to North America, of the 100,000 that were put onto those ships 20,000 died during the sea voyage. This continued for multiple years. And thus the context of a place like Boston is radically different than than a place like Milwaukee, even when both are predominantly "white" and did not have a slave economy. And even in their similarities (such as the Protestant vs Catholic divide) they are radically different. In Boston it was the lower/working class Irish Catholic vs the brahmin Anglo-Saxon Protestant. In Wisconsin its quite different, the split was within the german immigrant community itself and there was so much killing in the past they do not want to inflame that division, they very much wanted to let it lie because everyone would suffer, in the past everyone had suffered horribly. The various immigrants that came to the US were all well aquainted with each of the Four Horsemen, but they all still had vastly different experiences with them. And those differences echoed down to their children. For the British a paranoid arrogant War, for the germans War and Death, for the Irish Famine, Death, Pestilence. For each one; who caused what is different. For two of them its the British. For two of them it was their own people. And this is only 3 of the many other groups, with much different experiences; the Polish to Chicago, various Eastern europeans, Greeks etc. This is why when my mom went around with that petition she really had no real idea what went through some of her neighbor's minds. In a sense she was kind of naive about it as someone in her early 30s. But as a 3rd gen child of the most recent wave of german immigrants to the mid-west her context of what the east coast upper southerners would feel and react to emotionally was just not there. She was aware of it intellectually to some extent but not really ready for it. It was an alien way of thinking, in a sense hard to believe people would get wrapped up in it for no good reason, she was a bit surprised I suppose. She had no feel for it, really. Even years later she had no feel for it and did the opposite and inadvertently offended my uncle. Even today that legacy of how much pain and death the old divisions caused comes through, that in her mind getting wrapped up in it is just an obviously bad and self-destructive thing. This seemed to have changed with her younger siblings though, the ones born after WW2, the ones who grew up as Boomers. They seem to lack that sensibility. Something changed on a large scale and even between siblings.

I haven’t seen anyone answer your question of, “What is head lice?”. Head lice are tiny bugs that like to live in non-oily hair and eat from the scalp. When someone washes their hair too often and fails to use conditioner, it strips the hair of its natural oils, and they become susceptible to head lice.
Recently found your channel and subbed. Love y’all and keep up the great content.
Dr Thomas Sowell found during his research for a book he wrote was that less than 5% of White people in America have ancestors that owned slaves. Chomp on that for a bit.
I cannot speak for others but I personally have ZERO "white guilt". I am only responsible for my actions. Also, everyone had slaves at some point in history and America is the ONLY nation to ever fight, to end it...then we used our economic might to help end it around the world via trade.

I nanny so I really like to get kids’ perspectives on things because sometime I find that they’re really profound.
A five year old learned about MLK in school so I asked “what did he do?” He said “He made people be nice to each other.” I loved that answer. He’s too young to comprehend racism, race, or even hatred. All he could comprehend was that MLK led people to be nice to each other. I thought that was so simple yet so beautiful.
I feel horrible for what people did to other human beings in those times it's absolute horrid and disgusting but I don't feel guilt about anything because it's nothing I had any part in and I live my life being a good person to everyone, if someone is nice to me I'm nice to them and likewise if they're pricks. I can't control what happened before my time but I can control my life and my impact.
that's right i will never feel guilty or apologise for something i never done ! white guilt is STUPID
Well said, sir. Exactly my attitude towards this topic.We cannot do anything to change the past - we can only try to better ourselves.
I think if I came from "Old Money" i would feel some guilt that my family was allowed to amass wealth. I definitely do feel a sense of white privilege.
@@oxxification Why would you, though? You are NOT responsible for anything your ancestors did. There is no 'sins of your father/mother', and you could not take the responsibility from them even if you wanted to.
you guys still reap the benefits though lmao
2:09 as a white dude I have to say I've actually thought about this a lot, and my conclusion is that I can't really feel guilty since my ancestors had nothing to do with slavery as they were poor Polish/Germanic/Celtic immigrants who had themselves actually had family members sent to Russian work camps, but I still acknowledge that slavery of every type is disgusting in my view and so I find it deplorable. Do I feel GUILTY for American slavery, no. Do I feel TERRIBLE that slavery existed in America, of course. I think it is unfortunate that a lot of people forget that a large percentage of white people have ancestors that have themselves escaped things like slavery, and whose ancestors had not only disagreed with but fought against slavery, and this leads to undeserved hate.
Yeah, my family has never had the money for slaves, especially back then. Plus they were in germany at the time so...
My family was in ireland 4 generations ago why should I care
“Where gonna be the first black uno club” holy shit I’m in dying hahahah
He was actually pointing at a black person and asking what they say about white people
There is not a race or culture that hasn't conquered or enslaved others throughout history from Egypt to the mings or the huns or the Persians or Roman's or the Moors
Actually, they're called The Moops. 😏
You are very right but all those civilizations didn't just target one single race/group of people who they deemed as sub humans, whose purpose alone were to be used as slaves. The Romans, Persians, Moors, Egyptians etc didn't just go after one groupd alone, they enslaved everyone and most were during war time where the victor took survivors as slaves.
@@juve96 The word slave comes from Slavic people that were the first slaves
@@xafbxmoto269 No they were not. There were slaves long before Slavic culture. WTF is this guy talking about? The first slaves were slavic people? So you mean to tell there was no slavery until slavic people culture came along in the 5th century?

@@DPELAO oh my god shut up
Not from USA so cant have much guilt about it, but even if i was from there i wouldnt had any guilt, i feel guilt from what i do, not from what people did for 100-200 years ago.
Im from norway so would be like me being guilty for vikings went around killing babies, raping and killing women, killing men and pillaging, i dont feel a inch of guilt, if i dont do it, then it got nothing to do with me.
i think you went to far with kiling babies but i do understand youre point besides vkings fucked up other white poeple if they would kill other races believe me there would be movies about how bad vkinigs were and how having a norse tatto or pendant its a racist simbolism.
Your son looks just like you! Wait till he grows a beard it's gonna be like looking in a younger mirror 😂
He's got daddy's eyes, but he has mom's bone structure. Cute lil man
I think his daughter looks more like him.
They fathers and son I thought they was Brothers the father look like he young same ages the other guy
Cats in the cradle
No he doesn't! You think we all look alike smh
I love the energy between you and your kids while discussing these videos, it reminds me of me and my daughter and sons 💯👍
I think it depends on how old you were when you learned about your ancestors. I found out about being plantation owners on my dad's side in elementary school. And I wasn't as attached to that heritage as I might be as an adult. Same as my virulently racist grandma; who'd absolutely be trying to hide ping pong paddles. But I always looked at it as living examples of what I didnt want to be as an adult and to do better.
I don't feel bad for what my ancestors may or may not have done, mainly because I had no control over their actions. The world used to be a horrible place everywhere all the time 24/7, we've come a long way and I choose to not dwell on things that I had no part of and can't change.
I love this. Bill Burr is great, and I'm glad we can all laugh at him together!
I'm Irish so my ancestors were slaves or or fought in the NY gangs wars i know my great great grandfather was a link in the underground railroad so i feel the pain of history
I love your reactions AND “Half and Jai’s” reactions to Bill Burr. As a 71 year old white lady, I can tell you I had ancestors in both sides of the civil war; meaning, I had southerners fighting for the south (Virginia and Missouri) and others fighting for the Union (Missouri which was a border state so people had allegiance to either side in the same family). None of them owned slaves. As for guilt, I can’t say it have it. Instead I have sympathy for what your ancestors had to endure by slave owners. But since my family have their lives and blood to free your ancestors, I call it part of our shared past, for better or worse. I’m old enough to remember black kids being escorted into school by national guards when segregation was ended and being amazed that black kids couldn’t go to school with White people. As for “N games”, I have no idea what you’re talking about?🤷🏻♀️ As for me, I think we are all humans and it’s good to laugh at our differences rather than try to deny they exist! Growing up, the only black people I saw were families going to the zoo like my White family. I remember most of the women wore slippers, but they were all just as curious about the zoo animals as we were and we basically ignored each other as we did other tourists. We were there to see the animals. At my age, I’ve learned we are far more alike than we are different! Keep up the good video reactions. God bless you and your family! 👍🥳
Great reaction. Bill Burr, takes a serious topic and puts a interesting comedy value to it 😂🤣😅. It really challenges the thought process. Stay Safe 🙂 🙏
When I was about 5 or 6 there was some kid in first or second grade that taught me the N word. It was in some racist rhyme and I did not know what the word meant. I thought it sounded cool so when I was picked up that day I told my mom. She yelled at me all the way home, told my dad, and let him smack the shit out of my with a belt for saying that word. I'm white. My parents are white. I grew up in Texas.
The point of me saying that is to just put out some level of difference to yall wondering if white families play the N word "game"(?). The issue with your question is the same reason people are arguing about any specific topic today. Generalization. The majority of people today are too overwhelmed with the sheer amount of people on this planet and are too lazy to actually pinpoint the problem individuals. So we generalize. But doing that creates a blanket of hate. When you wave your hand at a group of people when you are only referring to a select few, the people not involved will either pull back or lunge forward. We need to take the time to address the individual instead of the group.
All that said, I like your reactions. Glad to see you gaining more subs. Road to 1 mil 😁👍
100% correct. World would be a better place if everyone would realize that. Too many dumb or just lazy people unfortunately
The first time I ever went to the US two huge black guy's screamed at me in Detroit about slavery. I said first I'm from Canada, and second my family has only been in North America since the 1930's and back in Russia they didn't inslave many men they shot them in the head over 80% back then, he shook my hand and said sorry man
Stopped reading when i saw canada

When I see these movies and when I hear my friends stories that their grandparents told them, it breaks my heart. I wouldn't want anything like that to happen to you or anyone else. It is gut wrenching that our ancestors did that then handed down their punishment to me. I think we need to see those kind of things as a reminder to be better to my brothers and sisters with different pigment. Take care man.
I love that the dad is laughing more at the jokes than his son. I wish I could watch Bill Burr with my father and share that with him. This is parenting at its best, this is what I would do if I had a son. Love it! :)
Check out Burt Kreshner the machine. Stand up. Its probably his best. Hangs out with Bill Burr

I don't take any responsibility or have any guilt for anyone's past or current actions but my own. I also have the original Roots series on bluray and love it. When Kunta had the chance to leave the plantation but chose to stay so he could be a family with his wife and baby daughter, that was deep.
What was the video about? I couldn't get my eyes off that single gray stray hair by the end of your beard! 😂

Trivia fact: NFL Hall of Fame Running Back Jim Brown was one of the greatest Lacrosse players ever back in college at Syracuse in 1950's and is also in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
That Grandad father analogy was good and basically how I feel. It's disgusting what people were put through back then, but I don't know how to respond when I'm expected to feel bad about it, because I don't. I recognise how horrible those events were, but I wasn't there, wasn't apart of it, so there is no guilt for me to feel
😂😂😂😂”H-I-J-K-LMNOP.” 7:57

I'm soooooo glad you mentioned Django. To me, that is one of the best, most satisfying movies ever put on film. I've seen it more times than you can count. I'm talking every night for years -- on DVD, even when I'm sleeping. And, I'm a middle-aged, fat, white, homo whose ancestors literally owned slaves. God, I love Django Unchained. The satisfaction of seeing all of those evil mofos get what's coming? Glorious!
I like your humor 😂 as the whitest guy in Sweden You always make me laugh 😂
Great video. Bill Burr is unfiltered. He’s one of the few comedians that can take cheap shots at any race of people on Earth and get away with it because everyone knows he’s ballsy and doesn’t have hate behind his jokes. That’s why he’s already a legend. And check out Greg Giraldo. Another trailblazer (RIP Greg).
Most white people are fairly colorblind now. Only once in my life has another white person said something racist to me. Old friend from the military. He shocked me recently by saying that he hates N-words. I had to break off all friendship with him, and that was sad. But it was absolutely necessary, and other whites ought to do the same. Like Bill Burr said "you gotta hang out with everyone." Ethnic diversity is everything. Not many people cook and use only salt & pepper.... gotta use a variety of spices or youre gonna have some bland food to eat.
Your son seems like a bright guy. Bravo.
Listen when people start trying to guilt trip me for my ancestors i just wanna look at them and honestly ask how they make it in the world, I’m like look, was it terrible of course it was I don’t agree with it, but damn I don’t feel shit for them, they are dead, been dead, and guess what I can only control my life idk what you want me to do about it lol 😂, I treat everyone the same so don’t come at me with the “your ancestors enslaved us” first off no they enslaved your ancestors but I understand what your saying, I just don’t feel bad I didn’t make that decision
It’s not my fault my parents fucked and had me. It is my fault if I perpetuate racism and teach my kids that hate. MAGFEFO!
Norman Benton I don’t gotta think about it at all lmao, I never said that what happened was right or that people shouldn’t be equal, they should, but I also don’t have to sit there and let people try and make me feel bad for things I didn’t do because just like them I didn’t ask to have fucked up ancestors, I didn’t do it I’m not going to feel any guilt for it lmao, idk if you really got what I said and/or if I even read your comment right I read it so if I don’t understand something then pls explain I would like too.
@@dancooper1 i read that other comment differently, i didn't take it to mean they were admitting to being racist (though i don't know if they are or not), i understood it as you can't feel guilty for what other people do, only for your own choices and actions. So IF i were to continue the racist tendencies of others and pass on those ideals, THEN i should absolutely feel guilty. Although most racists don't feel guilt at all because they are so full of hate and don't see anything wrong with it.
Yes! As a white person I have been appalled at the horrors of slavery. Aside from the outright cruelties perpetrated I am also painfully aware of the tragedies of the broken families, the shattered lives, the destruction of future dreams, and the generational devastation. Yes, many of us have a conscience.
I want to do that with my son when he gets old. It's beautiful keep doing what you do big homie! 🤴🏿✊🏿
I don’t know if you guys will even see my comment since it’s been 4 years ago that you put this on your channel, but I want to let you know that me personally DO feel extremely bad about what my race did back in those days with some of it still lingering! I watch movies like ‘The Help’, and shows like ‘Roots’ to educate myself about what really happened. I sure didn’t learn it in school growing up in Mansfield, Ohio. Will Smith’s movie ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ is such a great movie. ‘Hidden Figures’ is so well done and shows how people can overcome atrocities done to them. There are many more that I have forgotten the titles, but every time my husband and I discuss how strong people are in their faith to rise above the horror. I pray the scars will continue to heal. Hopefully sooner than better. I don’t want anyone to continue in pain. I hope for a future without any racism at all. God bless you for having the guts to comment on this. I am however, ignorant of the what the game is you’re talking about! It sounds bad.
Just quick tip guys : When you stop the video, just before you start play it again, push on the backwards button to understand the jokes because you're missing good bits.
besides that keep up the good work fellas.
Yeah, I find the older I get. The harder it is to get into movies. Because I know what going to happen in the first 5 minutes.
Different movies are made for different reasons. Some want to tell a story. Some want to help you understand what it's like to be in someone else's shoes for awhile. Some want to show you the consequences of choices you probably wouldn't make. You never know. Movies are art, so they're a form of communication. The message they try to deliver is often not direct or verbal, they try to lead you to some emotional place. Like if I tell you "be scared", you're not even ABLE to make yourself actually feel fear just because I said those words. So how do you communicate when words aren't enough? That's what art is.
Kids are playing lacrosse now! Only in America ,lol.
I am from UK pretty sure it's still considered posh peoples game. Didn't see any lacrosse being played on my estate.
"Does one feel like playing lacrosse today?"
Up in Canada it’s played on the reservations and the box communities of Whitney, Peterborough and the Vancouver delta
The first of my ancestors to come to the US was my great, great grandfather, who fled Germany, and the Nazis, just ahead of WW2, in the late 1920s, so, no guilt here. LOL, he stowed away on a cruise ship, as kitchen crew, and sneaked off the ship in Philly.
It absolutely sucks that slavery happened, but my ancestors had nothing to do with it.
That’s was slavery. What about segregation that was happening when your ancestors were here? What about systemic racism that gave your ancestors privileges that black people didn’t have in their own country? What about the quantifiable privileges that you have today based solely on your race? The evidence is clear surrounding this. You have no guilt because you are racist. Period. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
@@DrSeanKennedy ... His ancestors had nothing to do with slavery. He doesnt have to feel guilty about that. He can work to end racism today, but why should he feel guilty about something his ancestors, completely different people didnt do? By that logic, every single person in the world should feel guilty for some shit. Constantly. I dont feel any guilt for whatever anyone else did. Not my doing, not by guilt to be had. I do my part in ending racism, with my privilege to help it. Should I feel guilty because my grandpa was racist? What does my action have to do with his? Get the fuck outta here with that logic. Thats the thinking that give us on the left of politics a bad name. Use your privilege to help progress the world, but stop promoting hating oneself for whatever the fuck someone else with your skincolor did. Thats dumb as shit.
@@runthemeows1197 I was pretty explicit in my previous comment, but you choose to ignore it to make yourself feel better about injustice that specifically benefits YOU above people of color. These systems that benefit you and every other white person exist TODAY, not just the 19th and 18th centuries.
The fact that you feel its okay to "use your privilege to help progress the world," shows just how tone-deaf you are. Like you're some white savior. Like there's nobility in righting those wrongs caused by your ancestors. That's like destroying my car, then wanting acknowledgement for rebuilding it to its original condition. It should have never been destroyed (kidnapped, sold, beaten, raped, and treated like a slave) in the first place.
Fuck your grandpa. You have no guilt because YOU'RE racist. Period. No need to bring your racist grandpa into it.
I'm done explaining this shit. Like I said, if you're not with us, then you're against us. But we're defending ourselves this time. Malcolm, not Martin. I'm done entertaining this interaction.
DrSeanKennedy The car analogy doesn’t make sense. Why should I feel guilty for something that happened when I wasn’t even alive, I had absolutely nothing to do with slavery and neither did my ancestors.
@@DrSeanKennedy Im saying using ones privilege to help better the world out of guilt is the wrong reason. Using it because its the right thing is what one should do.
Also, my grandparents did jack shit to african americans, seeing as my ancestry is norwegian back to the 1400s, and being FAR left in political stance, being active in counter-demos against racist groups here, and actively trying to help make change happen doesnt matter I guess? If Im bad solely from my skincolor, even if I try to use that skincolor for the betterment of society, seeing as I cant choose to be not-white more than black people can choose to be black, Im really baffled at your retarded views. Im white, thus im racist apparently. Good to know. This kind of dumb shit is why the left looses support to the alt right with their false promises and hidden agendas, but sure. Keep helping the fucktards in that camp.
Edit: Ive also supported the BLM movement constantly. Ive defended rioting as I see why, ive defended it all. As I understand. Im not claiming to be a savior. Im saying i am privileged for my skincolor, and I use that privilege to assist those without it to the best of my ability. Im not asking for jack shit in return. I dont care if i gain or lose on it. Everyone is equal in worth, and thus I stand for that in everything. Making an enemy of allies is dumb as shit.
its funny how him and his son never have disagreements they be on the same page but if niah was in this bih lmao i love yal man!
Yes we do brother! Much love and respect! Keep it real!
Good question. FWIW I'm an old white guy who's always treated peaceful, honest people fairly. If they're peaceful I'm peaceful, and happy to be so. All the vicious behavior through human history, no matter the motive, is owned by people who committed it and not something I'd blame on myself or any other innocent person today.

Love the father son videos. Good stuff guys
Well I am white Scottish and have black family like cousins, aunty etc and i never really knew about racism growing up and wasn't until I learned it at school which really shocked me. I think it's sad that there is still a divide in the world based on skin colour.. The way I see it, there is a lot of different skin colours but we all have red blood so we should look at what we have in common instead of looking to see why we are different. My girlfriend is half Scottish, half Jamaican..
Love and positivity to all for 2022
P.s love the reaction videos ❤
Gotta love Bill Burr. :D
I love interaction between you and your kids!! 🥰😍💕
I TRULY FELT THE SAME WAY BILL FELT WITH ROOTS. THAT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THAT FOR ME.
I wasn't into the original Roots series, back in the day, so never watched it. However, got the audiobook decades later and could not turn it off. It's a masterpiece if you've never heard it. Much more in-depth than the tv series. And when you take the time to think that there was this young kid out in the woods making a drum for his brother's birthday & all of a sudden his life is slammed against a wall so hard that there's barely room to breathe. And he spends his life just trying to get the hell home. It's all he wanted. All the dude wanted was to get the hell home. But he was never gonna do it, and we all know he's never gonna get home, but he doesn't. To this day I feel bad about that kid. I mean, Alex Haley's writing of his family's history is completely on point for the entire story.

to your question about guilt: i´m from germany and it is my privilege and my duty, to stand up and speak out against racism whenever, wherever. i am not responsible for my grandparent´s actions, but for my own i am!
This was so Funny . I came across you through your Falling In Reverse reactions ....and stayed.
Your reactions are great. Your comments are 100% spot on. I'm hooked on your videos
In the movie Glory when Denzel gets caught sneaking off the civil war army base and they punish him by whipping him. It rips me apart every single time I see it. The hideous injustice of using a whip on a freed slave fighting for the union army. It's awful.
Excellent observation. And Black soldiers coming home from WW2 were still getting lynched - right in uniform!- as a message that they better not get too confident with themselves.
@@TheDivayenta Yep, the South is littered with the stupid statues of confederate generals they put up in the early 1900's as a scare tactic against black Americans. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Sorry, I'm getting ambitious to do something again myself.
Do what you do, but your duo is great for REAL comedians.
You alls comedy reactions are on point,ironic how comedians seem to know their shit. We get entertained and educated at the same time. To answer your question yes white guilt is real,when you go back in your mind it can feel pretty shitty. But on the flipside just speaking for myself I know I've never endorsed or partook in anything racially motivated. i just hope one day the world gets to a point where these conversations don't happen
Your son is equally as impressive as your daughter. You are truly blessed!
I love your responses and vids, especially because it involves family members making it multi-generational. I found your site from being a fan of Bill Burr and Chris Stapleton. I love the way both can break through racial divides and leave you with raw universal emotion regardless of race. I have enjoyed your videos and look forward to more.
Very nice analysis. In depth.
Everything now has become about shock value. More viewers, more money. Great video Fam!!
Jim Brown played Lacrosse at Syracuse, he's in the Lacrosse hall of fame.
Uno! Lol good one!
Little history - Lacrosse (which is Canada's official game - I know, not hockey, eh?) is originally a tribal game played by native Americans & Aboriginal peoples in America & Canada (and still is in Canada), which was then adopted & adapted sometime after the 17th century by Europeans.
Wouldn't make as good of a movie - white team overcomes racial obstacles to prove their just as good as Aboriginal people in playing lacrosse!
Wow, your daughter is beautiful and your son is very handsome. Your wife must be absolutely gorgeous!! I love watching you react with your kids, it's heartwarming. You're such a great father, you inspire me to be a better parent to my son. I'm so happy you mentioned (very quietly because he was working on his assignments) your son working on his STEM classes over the summer, I got my son some STEM assignments to work on for the summer as well. He loves STEM and I could kick myself for not thinking of it sooner. So, thank you!! By the way, I bet your son aces his class! Excellent reaction video as usual!!! 😍😍
I personally never saw race difference when i was young. I just knew some people looked different and that's it. I studied history and not just one side of it. I learned many things. Fortunately for me, i am not from U.S but Quebec, the french part of Canada who have been oppressed as much as the first nations in the rest of Canada. But even our Nationalism faded away. I'm proud that society evolve. After educating myself i just was happy to see everyone getting along more than in the past. I thought we all learned something. Except the racist old stubborn people, things was going better until people go crazy and starts asking reparation for things they didn't suffer themselves by the hand of our ancestors that are not me. That's just evil. Let's get along and laugh.
I think it all the time even though my ancestors were military and coal miners so didnt have any part of what happened back then and i have many black friends who know I dont treat them any differently than any other friend I have cause we shouldn't treat someone based on the colour of their skin- love your reactions LFR FAMILY
As far as movies that make you think, I think your oldest girl might like: What Dreams May Come, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or Running With Scissors. She's that kind of deep thinker
These reactions are so honest and funny at the same time.
I think you were more right than you know about Em being a big part of why we don't choose to use that word anymore. The biggest rock of sanity and support Em had getting sober, was Elton John. When you're finally at your rock bottom and need to ask for help or give up and just die in a corner somewhere alone, and you make that choice to reach out your hand in the dark, flailing for a reason not to give up, you learn so much about the person connected to the hand that grabbed yours then and yanked you out of your own abyss.
Without even needing to say it out loud, Em choosing to drastically reduce his use of that word and, in my own imagination only choosing to say it now is after having a convo with Elton and him saying, this is funny and appropriate. I get it and I laughed.
Point being, we all make mistakes, that is the way we learn. And sometimes, sharing our struggle to get learning from a mistake right, changes the world in ways we never expected.
Yeah, yup, I can say for certain that at least some of us look at the past and feel awful for how our ancestors behaved.
Lacrosse came from us Natives though haha, so it's a colored people's game. It's creators game
I grew up in upstate ny playing lacrosse in a town “famous” for lacrosse with over 30 national championships. But we used to play First Nations teams and teams who had guys from reservations during random tournaments and you natives would kick the absolute shit out of us. There was no doubt that it’s in your blood. Always a humbling experience lol
I got a question for you. With all this BLM & Antifa stuff. Why don't you trow all those people out of Your country? You where there first. It's your land. 💯
Longer vids! But don't try hard.Y'all got real content. You are my new sit com. Please Just Stay real. Every 15min feels like 5 cuz I'm tuned in. Youngster is so smart and humble. Secret college money?
I'm 22 living in NW NC. My dad is from Alabama and my Mom is from the coast of NC. I have heard both of my grandpas use the hard r. One of them maybe once or twice and the other one less than 10. Though they still said it, but they grew up in a time before it was a disgrace. Some people would disown their family for stuff like that, but I could never. We all make mistakes small and large, and I've been forgiven for mine, so I feel no urge to condemn them for theirs. But no, we never played the n game lol. If you're gonna say it, you'll say it, but these days, I haven't heard anyone younger than my grandparents, except for a dumb cousin and my younger, naive self, use the word. I won't even say it in a song by myself, unless I get egotistical and get to feeling myself. But noone on this planet will ever catch me saying the word unless you got atleast $1000 in hand without the er and $10,000 for the er. Aint no way you could blame me for that lol
I love you and your family! You are absolutely hilarious.
My people didn’t get here til the early 1900’s from Italy & Ireland & yeah that shit that was done & continues to be done to people simply because of how they were born makes me feel sick to my stomach …..wrong is wrong & right is right….bring back shame but accompany it with empathy
That opening when y'all were talking about grandfather's whooping ass and what you're supposed to say. "shit I might laugh, I don't know". That's really how it is. I don't know how you want me to react. I can't say personally cause my ancestors came over long after slavery, but I 'd have to imagine that there's not much of a response. Like, I may be white and all but I never whipped nobody and I've never treated somebody poorly without knowing their character. I can't imagine how it was in those times, but I don't know if I should be judged for people I have no connection to other than a 150-year-old bloodline. To me, the past was tragic but it was the best. The best that we can do is create a brighter future from the hand we were dealth.
bill doesn't care what people think, he says what comes to his mind lol
To answer your question, yeah, "white guilt" is a very real thing, although I feel like "guilt" is the wrong word... more "white embarrassment", I think. Like "Oh god, I can't believe my bloodline had such ignorant monsters in it". I guess it depends on whether someone believes in being held accountable for the sins of the father as to whether it's guilt or embarrassment. But the way I see it, those folks never knew me and I never knew them. My immediate family is where my views were formed, and they taught me love and compassion for all fellow humans. Any guilt I carry is for my own past inaction when seeing prejudice occur, something I've since resolved to never do again. I dunno, it's a complicated topic that TH-cam comments aren't really a good platform for, haha. I think this is a topic that needs back-and-forth discussion. But yeah, I'm glad you asked that, it really got me thinking about where the limits of accountability may or may not be, even beyond race, just in general.
Let's just say it, AGAIN-
Racism is dumb.
Can we get a chorus goring?
+1
I have lots of friends that are both old school(arcades) and new school(home consoles) gamers. As a matter of fact my best friend's family bought one of the first gaming consoles "Intelevision" when we were in High School. Back in the early '80's.
Yeah Bill is exactly right about it being behind the scenes and/or not overt. This is oddly directly related to his story, but my mom went around my old neighborhood back in the early 1970s to get the by-laws of our pool changed to allow black people to join the pool. This is before I was born so I'm hazy on the details. A couple people in the neighborhood were upset about it, but the way they got mad was more subtle. They made a sour face, got real cold. My Mom said one of the people used to give her old clothes for some charity drive and after that she never did again. None of them screamed at her or whatever. It was more subtle.
My Mom didn't do any of this out of guilt, I don't think she feels any. She was just a Wisconsin girl, daughter of a 2nd gen german immigrant living in northern Virginia. Its hard to describe to modern americans sometimes since this was before wide spread TV, but in reality while my mom rarely ever saw black people in Wisconsin, she equally never saw a white southerner. Both are equally different. The nature of mid-west Wisconsin settled by german immigrants was much different than Virginia old old south settled by British/Scotch Irish. Her context was mostly people who were the sons and daughters of german immigrants with some scandanavian from Minnesota. When she was growing up most small towns had a Protestant side of town and a Catholic side of town. For her, the old school religious divides of Europe (which killed millions in the 1600s-1700s, killed 40% of the german population at one point) were far far more a real and apparent thing than any racial divide. This country almost had german be the national language back in the 1780s just becaue so many german wanted to GTFO of Europe and stop dying from religious divides. Its one the main reasons we have that Amendment. The 30 years war was a hell of a thing. I think this was before my Aunt married a black man, and my grandfather welcomed him into the family. They just didn't care. From her POV people are people and should be treated as such. Something like that movie Roots, well its a shame people do and continue to do horrible things to each other, but I don't think she feels any guilt at all, just that it was one more example in the long litany of hurtful divisions in history.
Germany was ground zero for the religious wars of Europe right before the founding of the US, the perspectives of the various different european immigrant groups is quite different due to details like this. Similarly the French and Indian war was actually part of a much larger world wide conflict. There are a collection of "wars" that all happened at the same time across the globe and they were all the British vs the French. Why do you think the British were busting into people's homes and rifling through their stuff way before the revolution? This is why we are required that warrants in the US have a specific thing they are looking for. The British would just write a warrant and trash people's entire home looking for stuff. Why would they do this? Washington was in the French and Indian war, it was very close to the revolution. What were the British looking for? Perhaps they were looking for French spies and they ran roughshod over everyone else to do so ... this is the context of the British immigrants of the 1700s. Its vastly different than the germans who just wanted to stop dying and GTFO. Then you get the early 1900 wave of Italian, Polish and Germans immigrants. Their context is again quite different. Keep in mind Italy has only been a country as its currently constitued for about 120 years or so. And southern Italians were not even considered "white". Italy, for over a 1000 years, was a collection of republics that considered themselves cousins but different. During the wave of Italian immigrants, the current country we call Italy had been formed within living memory. We lump all of this together as "white" now in the US and, frankly, its a worthless category. Its so meaningless that its useless. Not that it doesn't have an effect, but its simply made up. In 1847 British landlords put the Irish of the potato famine onto coffin ships and shipped them to North America, of the 100,000 that were put onto those ships 20,000 died during the sea voyage. This continued for multiple years. And thus the context of a place like Boston is radically different than than a place like Milwaukee, even when both are predominantly "white" and did not have a slave economy. And even in their similarities (such as the Protestant vs Catholic divide) they are radically different. In Boston it was the lower/working class Irish Catholic vs the brahmin Anglo-Saxon Protestant. In Wisconsin its quite different, the split was within the german immigrant community itself and there was so much killing in the past they do not want to inflame that division, they very much wanted to let it lie because everyone would suffer, in the past everyone had suffered horribly. The various immigrants that came to the US were all well aquainted with each of the Four Horsemen, but they all still had vastly different experiences with them. And those differences echoed down to their children. For the British a paranoid arrogant War, for the germans War and Death, for the Irish Famine, Death, Pestilence. For each one; who caused what is different. For two of them its the British. For two of them it was their own people. And this is only 3 of the many other groups, with much different experiences; the Polish to Chicago, various Eastern europeans, Greeks etc.
This is why when my mom went around with that petition she really had no real idea what went through some of her neighbor's minds. In a sense she was kind of naive about it as someone in her early 30s. But as a 3rd gen child of the most recent wave of german immigrants to the mid-west her context of what the east coast upper southerners would feel and react to emotionally was just not there. She was aware of it intellectually to some extent but not really ready for it. It was an alien way of thinking, in a sense hard to believe people would get wrapped up in it for no good reason, she was a bit surprised I suppose. She had no feel for it, really. Even years later she had no feel for it and did the opposite and inadvertently offended my uncle. Even today that legacy of how much pain and death the old divisions caused comes through, that in her mind getting wrapped up in it is just an obviously bad and self-destructive thing. This seemed to have changed with her younger siblings though, the ones born after WW2, the ones who grew up as Boomers. They seem to lack that sensibility. Something changed on a large scale and even between siblings.
Bill Burr and Greg Giraldo. The only two white comedians that can openly deliver jokes about racism and make the subject matter funny for everyone.
You have a very beautiful family, live long and prosper!
You guys know the black female in the "black friends, clothes and Harlem" he talks about going to see at 3 am is a real story and that's his wife now. I seen him do stand up right before Covid 19 pandemic and she was there with him at the meet and greet after.
You should check out Bill Burr The Helicopter story. It's probably one of the funniest stories ever told.
You gotta make a playlist for Bill Burr my guy! Was trying to see if you’ve done Muffins or Old Man Face?!? Funking hilarious!!
All the way from Glasgow Scotland brilliant 😜😜😜
