Dr. Joy DeGruy: Cracking the Codes

[@childoftheheavenlyfather302]

This story is so powerful. Thank you for sharing.

[@mrmark262]

The story is junk.

[@eddierocksteady5740]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE STORY IS JUNK,PLEASE!?

[@123bigr]

If we had kept our own stores, banks, hotels, restaurants, schools and so on, we could negate this behavior by not giving our money. Our current situation causes us to have to go to other stores and beg for good treatment.

[@michaelcleveland3997]

dr. joy thank you.

[@quintonbrown4462]

I love joy.

[@rhondabryant667]

And still we rise!!!!

[@StaceyNelsonTVNetwork]

Thank you so much dr. Joy for telling your story. In the black community they think people your complexion have some kind of light skin privilege. If you have any hue of brown you are going to be discriminated. But let the black community tell it, Dr. Joy has "light skin privilege" YOU HAVE TO BE WHITE PRESENTING! My point, black people don't you ever tell black people with caramel complexion ever again and say we have "light skinned privilege"! I will always cuss you out!🤬

My mother used to go through this and my mother always had excellent credit.

So what is point? 🤔

[@mumamushamba1673]

Very wise woman

Hate is Not taught. Hate is their nature. Hate is what they are at their core. All over the world and throughout history they have shown the world who and what they are. Those who refuse to see the truth are in denial.

[@nappyscribe1987]

Wow! But what's the dealio on Black people who kiss their asses? Excuse the profanity.

[@naturalnikkismile1709]

@Santez Wheat - Unfortunately science would disagree with you. If you took a bunch of white babies and raised them in completely different environments, then they would only know what they were taught. Problem this goes back hundreds of years so it's ingrained in many. Civil Rights Movement changed laws but never did anything to research or change the mindset that let it happen in the 1st place. They thought after that generation died, it would fade, wrong! Its part of society, takes more than changing laws. Most children will have formed their beliefs about most things by age 10. That's scary.

[@liljill6500]

Science disagrees with you, and so does history; the rest of the world doesn’t share the cultural mores of the US.

[@lazorajones7748]

​@@naturalnikkismile1709 History disagrees with you. Those people's footsteps in the sands of time have always been the same. Always destructive and dissatisfied.

[@lazorajones7748]

Agreed @1LordTez

[@roxyjay5571]

[@YoungDen]

[@labidomosquito4462]

I though it was mo money mo problems , but ok.

[@alxflor5066]

Young Den!, your statement speaks volume for us dark skin folks living here in Seattle WA.

[@PantherParty84]

labidomosquito that was just a song

[@StaceyNelsonTVNetwork]

The black community needs to take notice. Dr. Joy is a complexion that has been accused of getting " light-skinned privilege" . Do not ever come for people who have her complexion ever again after hearing this story.

[@solo5373]

Exactly. 😎

[@reeractivist7561]

The website at the end of the video is no longer operational. Does anyone know of a more recent website?

[@dangerusscurvs4709]

sooo true!!

[@ronaldblack1508]

so true

[@kelvendyson1508]

I wonder if she's related to Oscar DeGruy the actor.

[@Mr._Moderate]

I'd bet, to this day that cashier still thinks she was "doing her job" 😑

[@nappydiva87]

I see

[@SPharaoh]

A black guy I know was ticketed for going 37mph on 35mph zone. When he went to court a judge told him to pay the fine and if he didn’t pay he would be arrested.

[@Mr._Moderate]

Huh?

[@christinewilliams4846]

As long as the system of Racism(WhiteSupremacy) is in existence Non White people worldwide must plan to Produce JUSTICE( balance between people) Guaranteeing that no one is being mistreated and Guaranteeing that everyone who needs help the most gets the most constructive help in all 9 areas of Human Activities Economics Education Entertainment Labor Law Politics Religion Sex War/Counter-War. Justice is better than RACISM. Neely Fuller Jr.

[@mrmark262]

Of course when you what has come into America from Africa namely the music aspect then you have to realize that is another culture that crept in.

[@joelates5334]

Every major popular American musical genre has been pioneered from the minds of the black race. Just think doo wop, folk, jazz, bebop, swing, blues, ragtime, scat, funk, soul, disco, rock & roll, hip-hop, R&B, pop, spoken word, gospel, reggae, dance hall, salsa music, punk rock, country music, & even classical music, seeing that Joseph Boulogne Chavalier de Saint Georges' work was stunning (you can hear hints of his work in Mozart's creations, i.e. heis thought to have "quoted" a melodic line from one of Saint-Georges’s violin concertos in his Symphonie Concertante in E-flat Major).

[@blackface703]

That was your sister! Too bad white privilege doesnt think like this 99% of the time. I wouldntve given a damn if I was the angry Black face. Do I not have the right to be upset. Its about power, resources & limited competition with them. Speaking of competition, I would've left that stuff there & went elsewhere, never to return!

[@harpereion8702]

I would think if you are in line at a grocery store and the cashier doesn't ask for an I.D. from your sister-in-law, she would know that she couldn't ask for an I.D. from you. She would be risking her job by doing something blatantly discriminatory. I would think if she did ask, you wouldn't give it to her, and ask to see the manager. That is what I would do in such a situation. The store could be sued for such an act.

[@brendakabanda2181]

omg, this is terrible, but that's the world we live and must first this to death.

[@sakogekchyan7366]

I agree that in certain cases like these white privilege is a thing but what I don't like is when people use this as a stick to beat you with and shut down all arguments. There's nothing that pisses me off more than when people tell me to "check my privilege" every time I try to get into a discussion or debate about racial issues. OK I get it, I have certain advantages in the world but that doesn't mean I should just shut the fuck up and believe whatever I'm told blindly without any critical thinking or debate.
