You already know the answer to this, you're more on point then most the people in your age group. Besides the media, just use the View for example. I've never heard more racist bs in my life as I have from them in just a few short years. And nothing ever happens to them, and they do that on regular cable television. There's a reason they are allowed to..They are one of the many race baiting arms of their party. Sunny even admitted to voter fraud live, and still 🦗🦗🦗

Something you said at around 20:00. Something about being black doesn't necessarily mean you are part of a "black community." Until I became more familiar with black culture. I learned how each group of people is different from each other. I think as I've gotten older the ability to know and appreciate nuance has gotten easier.

I say yes. When I was growing up, we had kids from all kinds of places in primary and secondary school: Italy, Slovakia, Egypt, England, Korea, Ethiopia, Czech Republic, China, and more. Everybody got along, when someone brought a food from their respective culture, everyone wanted to try it. I also love history, and seeing how much the world changed before we inherited it. Then I saw people on tiktok, on the news, on youtube, all these large voices twisting history and covering up reality to suit their own beliefs and labeling anyone who questioned/disagreed as problematic. If we do not learn the past correctly, we are doomed to repeat it.

The black girl in NY hat does have a point about funding that a particular area receives. It is MIND BOGGLING to me that schools are funded by property taxes of the area where the school is. This automatically provides more funding to the public schools in rich neighborhoods because the property taxes there are higher (because the houses are more expensive), while the schools struggling to keep the heat on are in poor neighborhoods with not enough taxes to fund them. Why are property taxes not pooled all together and distributed equally between all schools?

18:15 Philadelphia is THEEEEEEE perfect example. people here literally would rather have hoards of teenagers here in flocks of 40 take over the streets, have people on their ATVs riding around in swarms at midnight, people openly shoplift from stores in the middle of the city with no repercussions (you can't even be arrested unless you steal more than $1000 worth of merchandise), mentally ill people assaulting others in the city center - people here would still rather have that and have the police defunded and wonder why it's so dangerous now. I don't even leave my apartment now unless I have to and I never go out even past 6 PM unless I'm with my boyfriend. also, something the media seemed to forget, was the recent mass shooting here recently was committed on all black people BY a black transgender person IN the hood. my boyfriend owns a deli in Kingsessing and one of his regulars was one of the people who were killed. didn't see any BLM protests happen for them in Philly or anywhere else in the country. crickets.

I used to be a leftist and then a few years ago I started embracing the fact that I’m probably center with a slight right lean…the more I entertained right wing content, the more I was encouraged to go explore the opposing side to see what they were up to. Multiple right wing figures (and some right wing friends) have told me that I should entertain what the left says and figure things out for myself. I was NEVER encouraged to look at right wing content by the left. They only wanted censorship and avoidance. It led me to think that they were hiding things, which ended up being true whenever I would research a topic. Only a cult will tell you to avoid an opposing viewpoint completely. This is why the right is having a field day with woke culture because all they have to do is point at the left and say “look at what they’re doing!” And then the left says that things are a right wing hoax (which never makes sense because it’s real stories of leftists acting nuts lol)

Racism is a real Issue in this country, yes not everyone or the major are racist, but alot of large scale racism exist. I am aware that the left media over exaggerated an issue, but to debunk them and say it isn't a big deal, is being insensitive to many Blacks, Asian and others of colour who had SEVERAL racist encounters. So please choose your words wisely, because someone else can take offense. Racism is real, and is a big problem. In 2020, Asians were targeted and Assaulted for reasons of bringing about Covid 19. You had Koreans, Japanese any one who looked Asian wre considered Chinese and attacked. That guy that went on a killing spree just targeting and killing Black people. They are several others like him, most just didn't make headlines because they were stopped in the early. I am not saying the US is a racist country, but it has a lot of issues that needs to be resolved

A unified nation is a hard to control nation. Much easier to let the people argue and fight so there is fear and anxiety that makes people ‘need’ a certain policy. Divide and conquer. Sad, but still works like a charm. I remember a time where we were taught in school how to filter trough news and articles to recognize ‘hidden’ political bias or even straight up advertising in the form of ‘news’. I fear that that’s not the case anymore these days in most schools.

I work in a title I school where the majority of the student pop is black or Hispanic and near or below the poverty line. But the teachers that I learned from were older black people who actually grew up in segregation and physical race-based violence. Those individuals have committed their entire lives to their communities. And let me tell you. They are ashamed of current generations and their audacity to call everything and anything racism. I actually had a student come in one day looking so dejected. I asked him what was wrong and he said ‘My Mom says that even though you’re a good teacher, I shouldn’t love you because you’re white’. I stayed until 6:30 working 3 hours of unpaid OT every weekday for years for that community and for that child. To head those words come out of his mouth. It was just crushing. Because I couldn’t know whether I would be enough of a positive influence to put him on a better track of thinking for the rest of his life. I couldn’t know whether he would believe that statement one day when he’s older.

As an asian woman, my experience of being catcalled is predominatly hispanic and black men. Old white men have always been friendly to me, younger white men ignore me. Asian men mostly (in my experience) are an issue in the dating world. But overall I stay away from people who show unstable or dangerous behaviors, walking or muttering to themselves, kicking public property, screaming and shouting. I do want to say I have been fortunate enough where catcalling hasn't made me feel threatened, just mildly uncomfortable. The weird fetishization of asian women is still alive years later.

Totally Agree with you Amir on everything. And i might would like to add to it, i'm as a Hungarian White person, i always was thought by my mom to respect others and they respect you too. I was raised in a really respectful ways, and to see the mainstream media is just try to make peoples jump into each other throats is bad. I understand there is lot of issues in the world and i get it peoples not feel safe in they environment but lately the different things what happening in America is just saddens my heart to see, where the once great country become. There some who still try to spread love and kindness, but it feels just a really small percent is actually try to speak up, because they fear if they talk they could be canceled ( what is kind of dumb way to ruin someones life ). It's sad. I hope you be safe Amir and good that not everyone can be brainwashed by the mainstream media's.

Many east asian students get rejected into their dream school, no matter how hard they worked or how exceptional they are. Because there's "too many of them" in Universities, I don't think it's fair for people who were born with the resources to be the only ones admitted. But I also don't think it's fair for people who worked their asses off only to be 'assumed' that they are privileged (because of their race). I think people who qualify should be admitted, people who can make use of those resources in Universities. I don't think education should function like a business, or use performative ways to show how inclusive they are. No matter what race you are, if you worked your ass off to improve your future, getting rejected because of your assumed "privilege" suck ass.

I posted that black square in 2020. I’m white, I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t want to. I didn’t see the purpose in it, but I was afraid that I would be labeled as racist if I didn’t put something out. I feel so bad for younger me who was so scared that she would be labeled as a horrible person just for not posting a stupid square. I wasn’t even an adult yet. I didn’t understand they don’t control what I do

Hello Amir, please do not take offense to what I have to say because it is not meant as such. Here goes: In the past when I first came out as gay I was immediately labelled as a bear due to my high masculine traits and behaviour, and people with your voice and stature would be labelled as queer. Nowadays, and I cannot stress this enough, it's bonkers that both you and I would be considered normal gay people and these TQI people would be labelled queer and all that. It's quite ridiculous how far over the edge this community has fallen that it split into two pieces like the Titanic. As for the LGB-community, I think we have come extremely far in the western world. Which is why I now volunteer at a shelter for gay people fleeing death sentences from the eastern world. I will leave it unnamed on KZbin for safety concerns. Anyways, I hope you understood what I was trying to say. Keep on making this amazing content, love your content and I love your personality, at least the parts you're showing in your work =)

I'm white. I've never used the n-word towards a black person, but I confess, I have used the n-word in closed, private conversations with my white friends - call me racist, but it's fun to say a word you're not supposed to say, it makes the conversations more funny because of how shocking and jarring it is. You could listen to a legal document being read out loud and not hear a single word out there, but there is NO WAY you will miss that person casually hard r the n-word in the middle of the legal document reading, it jolts you. It's the evolution of curse words. No body gives a flying fuck if you say fuck, shit, motherfucker, cock, etc. but people WILL notice you say the n-word, the other f-word that British people use to call cigarettes, the c-word, and many other "politically incorrect" words. Those are the new curse words, and curse words are always effective (especially if used sparingly). So of course I'm itching to use them for the shock and comedic value.

Because of other races getting hate and attacked, is why I think it should be all lives matter instead of just Black Lives Matter. I know a lot of people will say I’m racist because I’m white when I say that, but I’m not thinking about protecting other white people as much as I’m thinking of any other race or colored person that this movement seems to be ignoring. What about middle eastern, Asian, Indian, Native American, Hispanic/Latino, and so on so forth. It’s not just black and white people on this earth. There are all kinds of people that need support for different reasons.

A lot of people don't like to acknowledge the wars between whites. The war over Europe was between Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, norway, and so on. The American Independence was a war of the white colonies against Britain, the white parent country. When the Irish came to America they were also decriminalization against. It's tribalism. Racism is wrong regardless of the perpetrator's race, but to say that only white people are the only ones guilty of it in the past & present is just revealing their lack of historical knowledge, and will to find the truth.

I always say, "Ya'll wanna be the civil rights movement so bad." There is a sort of worship of past activism that, I'm sorry, doesn't compare to blocking highways today. Instagram posts don't compare to sit-ins. People who did the true work to change society did it at a tremendous danger to themselves, these privileged kids today can't fathom that. Modern SJWs are akin to the hypocrisy of the hippies, making encampments to promote environmentalism and then doing drugs and trashing the place.

My partner is ex military and worked at the gun store the massage parlor guy bought his gun from. He bought it legally and followed all the paperwork required from the state. My partner soon quit because of the amount of bomb threats and death threats to the employees. There were police that had to walk the employees to their cars and at times close the shopping center because of the threats. They didnt stay long. Just crazy that 1 nut job led to the risk of more human lives for no reason. People were so mad about the people who got hurt by a single crazy person- they wanted to hurt tons more?

With the black people attacking asian people and the media allegedly under reporting it. I think that is true. However, I do believe that people (including some asian people) know that when black people do commit a crime against asian people (for example), other people will tend to generalize ALL black people as sharing the same mindset as the criminal that commits the crime. Which is a bit extreme. Do I think the media is justified in calling out a criminal for attacking someone. Most certainly. Will people generalize all black people if the criminal is black. Most certainly. Can we point out that statistically it seems that black people have been targeting asian people since Covid. Whilst not generalizing all black people to share animosity toward asian people, Most certainly
