These people are obviously on drugs and too naive to realize the situation that they're in. . I pray that it doesn't but I fear this situation is going to end badly. . If they were smart they would use all that plywood they brought to build a makeshift road over the mud to get to the blacktop and get out of there. . Even though from what I've been hearing, security forces and FEMA will not let them leave, . But I obviously don't think many of them are smart enough to leave. . Apparently Chris Rock was a lot smarter than most of these people, . He wasted no time on walking out of there with his buddy. . Or did he know something? . Who knows

I didn’t get picked for the campaign because my gear and skills were crap, therefore why wouldn’t I hang out at the tavern and rob people? The problem was never your skills or your gear. The problem was the immediate cross into criminality using your “boo hoo I didn’t get chosen” as a lame excuse, which at best could result in a few criminal kingpins getting ahead while a mountain of bandit corpses are righteously stacked by honest players next to the mountain of innocent bystander corpses slain for getting in the criminals’ way. This is not a favorable situation for any fantasy world or real ‘Hood. Take it from this enlightened “crack ass cracka” (by the way F you, that’s OUR word, you don’t get to use it) assuming that black people must/should/are expected to immediately turn to criminality when life doesn’t go their way is an incredibly racist/bigoted/ignorant belief to hold. Go get educated punk.

I'm glad to see the statue restored. I have written history from my family about the Sutters as the Sutter women delivered my grandma on a farm during a storm,while the men went to get the Dr. There is no record of the Sutters owning slaves and if they did my family would have recorded it. Also I do geneology and there are slave records. Most are on censuses. As they were listed as other in household with slave written next to them. I know in other areas native Americans were made slaves. The families the Sutters were associated with weren't slave owning type people. After the gold rush everyone was farmers. My great great grandmas farm was next to the Sutters. Newsom concocted this story for reparations in Calif. There has been no evidence of this. And a defamation on a caring family and a Calif historical icon. It's sad. There would be records and I know my grandma she would have recorded that even if it was in the past. As both my great and g.g. contributed to the stuff I have. It's all been passed down. I do have slave records but all from other states. And I'm from 2 scottish slaves and have even the ship records. So I believe there would be hard proof. Not made up by the state either proof. Native Americans should be the focus of slavery in Calif.

The statue of John Sutter should have been moved within the walls of Sutter's historic trading post ("Sutter's Fort"), just across the street from the medical center. Of course the Miwok, Maidu and other tribes and their pre mission era history should be told, including the mistreatment and forced labor at missions, under Spanish colonialism since 1769 and when later, Mexico claimed California, prior to annexation by Americans. Sutter had used Indian labor, as was the established, century old practice in California, prior to Sutter's arrival there. "According to California law, Indians were forbidden to own property, carry a gun, hold office, attend public school, serve in juries, testify in court, or intermarry. On the statement of any white an Indian could be declared a vagrant and bound over to a white landowner or businessman to work for subsistence. But it is from these mountain tribes that white settlers draw their supplies of kidnapped children, educated as servants, and women for purposes of labor and lust...there are parties in the northern portion of the state whose sole occupation has been to steal young (California Indian) children and ( women) ...and dispose of them at handsome prices to the settlers who...willingly pay $50 or $60 for a young ("Digger" California Indian) to cook or wait upon them, or $100 for a likely young girl." - Marysville Appeal

I'm from Houston Texas and I've seen the best of people and I've seen the worst.

Hey Ed, what's the percentage of Blacks to whites in America? I'm white, born and raised in Detroit, five children in our family. My father served in the Navy, came out, went to college and spent his career as a teacher in the Detroit public school system. Neither me nor any of my siblings went to college. No money for that on a teachers salary. We all made our way, worked hard, and didn't have any unwed mothers chasing us around. I didn't see any white privilege in the world I grew up in and there are probably another 100 million or so white families that can say the same. So how many white Americans weren't privileged either in relation to number of Blacks? I'm pretty sure unprivileged whites got you beat. Quit complaining and raise young men that understand responsibility and family values.

New Black were admitted to the Navy at the time and they were treated like second class citizens while in the Navy and when they returned. Do you think your father would have been admitted to college where he black? Nope. Do you think your father would have been given a home loan where he Black? You prove my point.

I watched quite a bit of the proceedings live. Years ago, I was also on the jury for a murder trial and am well aware of how such a trial goes and what is required for self defense. To me it felt like the Judge was arguing on behalf of the Defense at times. The Defense did a good job of compartmentalizing the whole thing in what I felt was an attempt to get the jury to forget about the big picture. (The big picture is that this kid put his gun in the car and inserted himself into the situation. They did not come to him.) The Judge also allowed the defense Attorney to say things to the jury like "if he had gotten that gun away from Kyle, he would have used it on him or others." How is that not conjecture? Also, how is he excused from the law barring a person his age of owning an AR-15? I don't understand the Judge's ruling on that at all. Also, the fact that the Judge would not allow into evidence a video of Kyle watching some shop lifters leaving a store and saying "I wish I had my AR-15 so I could shoot them." because it was "irrelevant." How is establishing the mindset of a killer irrelevant? It is a good possibility that he is acquitted when the Judge so clearly is biased in the case. This case makes our legal system look like a complete joke- inequitable and unjust. George Zimmerman 2.0. If Kyle gets acquitted, bet he shoots someone else within a year.

I am a long time fan of Dave Chapelle, so I am biased. The thing that I think is so strange about the backlash on this one, is that he is largely talking about his experiences with backlash from jokes from previous performances. It seemed as though this was sort of him trying to explain and justify his perspective and trying to make peace with this particular group of people. Talking about his trans fan (that he developed a friendship that passed away) I thought was a very personal story. That part of it didn't even seem to be comedic, sure he threw in a couple of jokes, but mostly a lot of it was on a pretty serious note. Strange that this one got the most attention. If he was truly transphobic, he wouldn't have told these stories he would have just been dismissive. Finally, even before he knew the backlash that was coming from this one, at the end he promises to be done with it... and makes a very good point at the very end. Maybe I would see things differently if I was part of that group. I just don't see where he was promoting violence or hate. I thought his message was quite the contrary.

Agreed that White Privilege exists. Agreed even that there is a "black tax" as well. What I'm finding is that it is too easy these days to oversimplify the issue, I think there are a lot of moving parts going at at many different levels of society. There is also a larger context of the growing extinction of the middle class that has been going on since the 70's. I would also like to turn the discussion in a different direction. All of the succesful people I know, of all races, all did basically the same thing. They all had similar things they needed to do in order to become successful. It may have been starting their own business, pursuing advanced degrees, moving up in the military or public service, there were three phases of activity that happened in all cases: 1) Education and/or experience was gained, 2) risk was taken and 3) they got other people to buy into their vision of what they wanted to accomplish in life. So there is a distinct element of "grind" that happened, as I like to call it. Also not to oversimplify, if I don't do this grind, there will not be that level of paycheck or success waiting for me. And, white privilege is not going to make up the deficit of grind. Likewise, if someone doesn't do that grind, systemic racism is NOT why they did not succeed. Although systemic racism DOES have an effect on how much grind is available, zip code does factor in. BUT, if I wanted to get into M.I.T, Yale, Columbia, Harvard, etc., whatever color I am I have to do the same things and plenty of it..... the grind. Also taking the discussion in this direction can make it less likely to evoke any knee-jerk response. And I do want to say a lot of white folks are horrified by Fox News and Trump, not all are on that right-wingnut page.

If the system were set up to hold back non-whites, then why are Indian, Chinese, African, Arab, Cuban immigrants, (to name a few) The most successful people in America? White privilege is a pernicious lie invented to weaken American society. This is the land of opportunity for people of all ethnicities. It is plain to see. Talk to any non white person who came here from a poor country, especially communist countries and ask them if their skin color held them back at all, even 1% from achieving success. Please appreciate this great country and protect her and benefit from the privilege of being an American citizen.

Immigrates are successful because they are hustlers who embraced change. The land of opportunity does exist and many people are able to come from nothing to something in the span of their lifetime. This is not true in all counties. That doesn't mean some people don't have an advantage over others. Surely you would agree that the white settlers did not present an equal opportunity for success for the native population they slaughtered. And surely the same opportunity did not exist to the slaves they held. As I've detailed in other videos once slavery ended that did not end discrimination. There were and are many who still want to hang on to their advantages. White privilege was not invented it's a term used to explain what was already happening.

Let me take a stab at elaborating. When in the first 30 seconds of explaining your point, which I’m glad you are, you assume it’s only white people that disagree with you and call them “cracker ass crackers”. In my opinion, probably a good way to start the conversation by making them put up walls to only listen to you and pick out points of disagreement. For my self, it has helped to stand on points of common ground and have these hard conversations. I’ll be honest and say I disagree with your points but am willing to be proven wrong. If there is true systemic racism in America, like some say, I want to know specific examples within our culture or governing body, laws and policies so we can fix it. If we aim at nothing, we will hit nothing 100% of the time. You assume what you want about my beliefs and background and what led me to my current position, but I don’t care. If there is systemic racism in the country, it needs to be stopped. Just please help us all by giving specifics on where and how.
