In comedy we can openly talk about the topics that are tough for people and just laugh it off, but at the same time help raise awareness on what is happening the real world. Thats how I feel about my job now I just sort of laugh when things are so wrong because its ludicrous.

Wow what a bright light he is, loved hearing your guys banter about these topics, very enlightening.

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

@@rovhalt6650 Hmmm... well if you cant censor for yourself and just not watch content you know you dont want to see, how do you expect them to censor themselves for you? Also, why wouldnt they talk about an aspect of the show that is important to the creators of the show? And furthermore, why wouldnt they talk about an issue that many of us are happy is finally being addressed openly and honestly? Also, they gave you fair warning of what the video was going to be about and you still watched it. How is that their fault? I dont want to see shows about serial killers, so I dont watch them.

[@pauloc.c.macher954]

Team Coco, be careful with polarizing titles like that on topics like this one. The main issue is racism being everywhere, not just being a white thing. That's what Ramy was trying to say, first and all.

[@halilk2712]

he also said that white people built whole ass institutions lasting for centuries based on racism

[@darthgon146]

I think he clearly pointed out exactly what the title said: "White people are the best at racism because they institutionalized it." Conan even added to that topic. But yes, I think it's inappropriate for Team Coco to do this kind of clickbait polarizing title.

This is EXACTLY why I couldn’t get into shows like the MCU’s Ms Marvel… It sanitized both an ethnicity and a religious culture to such a victimized and saccharine group of people that it was more unbelievable than a girl having superpowers. Hollywood has made certain tribal groups untouchable and frankly, holy, that it does the exact opposite of their intentions. Instead of showing those groups as equally flawed as the rest of the world, they make them too sweet, innocent, perfectly inclusive, and targeted by other groups Hollywood is fine demonizing that it ends up being a hollow fluff piece. Now I’m going to look up this guy’s show!

[@roberthickerty390]

Really? Every race has been or is racist against those that are different whether it be skin colour or from a different tribe. The reason whites get the blame is mostly due to the fact whites expanded out of Europe and conquered other countries. Take a look at the northern Africans who plagued Europe taking white slaves. Or the Mongols who at one point conquered Asia and destroyed the Kwazarim civilization. Racism was not created by whites. Like Ramy said, racism is in the genes of all races. It comes down to preservation of our genetics. Family comes first and anyone from outside that family is suspect. Besides the term Racism is losing its true meaning. Milk is racist, exercise is racist, math is racist. Equity is racist. Equality is not. Tolerence is not.
