PHILOSOPHY - Race: Race and Racist Institutions [HD]

[@namelessone302]

There are a lot of good points in this, but the argument around the 13th amendment seems like a leap of logic. I think it's pretty obvious that prison labor, not "black criminality" was the reason for its wording. The modern prison system and the 13th amendment are not causally linked.

[@jaywonder20040]

Please check the Documentary "13th amendment " ! That is a good source to understand the complex system.

[@namelessone302]

jaywonder20040 thank you, I will do that. I suppose my point is that, while the wording of the amendment may be taken advantage of by institutions, I don't believe that was necessarily intended by the amendment. But I could be wrong.

Also never forget that the United States was ONE of the first to abolish slavery, and fought a civil war to do it. You can write all the words you want on paper, but we all know the actions speak the loudest. I am struggling to remember any other modern western country that fought and died for abolition at a comparable scale to the US civil war.

I'm a little confused, maybe I didn't understand it or catch it, but it seems like he said "slavery" in a sense is still a thing due to prisons, and I'm not 100% his reasoning. How does being a certain race determine how you will end up?

[@justforfun4100]

The idea is that minorities are still more likely to be picked up and convicted for crimes that would put them into prison. Due to the 13th amendment allowing slavery for those who have committed crimes, it is considered a new form of slavery that still unfairly affects minority groups. It isn't saying that it is only because of race, just that race is still a factor in how the system works.

He opens with “If race doesn’t exist, how does it have such consequence in our lives.” This is begging the question. It assumes race exists. If race doesn’t exist there are other answers to those consequences. But the way the argument is structure has a presupposition that race is real, something that should perhaps not be an assumption this discussion. It’s worth asking the question, what if race is a social construct, not a physiological reality. How would that change how we viewed the issues?

[@mikedaugherty5501]

race is a social construct. it’s a sociopolitical idea derived in the enlightenment. originally it was a collective existential concept that people are inherently unified by similarities in language, culture, and genealogy. it presumes a connection of nature as a form of societial organization. it is true in a sense but modern perception has devolved to the superficial.

[@Mo.Phenomenal]

PUNISHMENT does not stop crime. It makes it worse because people can’t access jobs, housing, education, voting and more. EDUCATION does, it will have us do things like legalize marijuana, getting rid of the crime altogether. And spaces become safer when people have access to financial stability (jobs, which usually require education) Some people have to break the law to climb out of poverty, similar to how people had to break the law climbing out of slavery.

Is that better? Oh not to mention the generations that came after the people are at a huge advantage in our society because the money and opportunity to build more wealth and access to education is leagues easier for them? Or possibly the fact that the practices that put African Americans communities in the state they are in now made many African Americans turn to crime mostly out of survival and then the police happily kill them or lock them up? Tell me again how fair the US has been to minorities. Oh I almost forgot many melanin deficient people actively stifle or stop the African American people’s attempts to integrate so now the African American community is basically just like fuck it I’m going to sell weed. While the melanin deficient people with the money make it legal for themselves to sell it and gain more wealth but Jamal down the street just trying to sell this plant to feed himself and his kids gets thrown in jail.

[@KG88KiteGodMusic]

Nicctos Yes. Realize that crimes are relative to the laws that define them. When those laws are racist in nature, you will see one race make up the majority of the prison population.

[@The3biscuits]

+Nicctos After reading the wiki page and universities of law pages on Plessy v. Ferguson i realise what he may have been alluding to but failed to explain is that the 13th amendments wording left it open to create laws that disproportionately affect black people and in the case of Jim Crow laws, made it so that a person who was black would be arrested on the basis that they were black and using a bus meant for white people, for example. "...a Chinaman can ride in the same passenger coach with white citizens of the United States, while citizens of the black race in Louisiana, many of whom, perhaps, risked their lives for the preservation of the Union... and who have all the legal rights that belong to white citizens, are yet declared to be criminals, liable to imprisonment, if they ride in a public coach occupied by citizens of the white race" however, the relevance of this system now that we have race as a protected class and it's direct connection to ghettos really needs explaining and demonstrating, and his continued use of the term 'slavery' when now talking about criminality and how that benefits white people seriously needs explaining especially for the layperson.

[@JT-gi8rx]

The first example, asking how much you would pay to change from black to white or vice-versa is misleading. The message spread by the media is, “if you are white, you have far more advantages than any other race, and if you’re black you will always be at a disadvantage.” Having this message drilled into people’s minds their whole lives conditions them to answer the question in a predictable way. In the current day and age, if people were actually thinking critically, they would choose to be black. Asian people definitely would, as they would have a far easier time getting into colleges, as affirmative action forces them to have far higher grades than black students are required to have. I welcome any questions, as most of the systemic racism narrative can easily be debunked with simple statistics and factual evidence. There definitely WAS systemic racism, but to say there still is requires actual evidence, which there is none. Not to say there are not still racists, in all walks of life, of all ethnic backgrounds, but the systems themselves are not (other than colleges, as affirmative action IS racism).

[@jamesnelson5498]

OK....so lets use another scenerio. Suppose there are two men sitting on a park bench. There are two fishing rods and they are sitting in front of a pond. Neither has any place to be. So the social norms will follow. Eventually both will be fishing. As time passes they will begin a conversation with the other. If one catches a fish one will congratulate the other. By the end of day they will probably be somewhat friends. Especially if the fishing is good. We now have a black man and a white man forming a friendship, neither is thinking about what was. But, enter 1 more man we can call him black or white, maybe brown. This man is a radical who feels false sense of importance. he feels the need to bring one or the other to their senses. So he begins to tell the black man he shouldn't trust the white man or tell the white man he shouldn't trust the black man, he begins to throw out reasons, even if he has to make them up. He insist the two men feel racism toward one another. yet before the 3rd man arrived there were no animosity between the 2 original men. This is how racism is perpetuated. Radicals or people who hold an interest in keeping people divided inevitably destroy any possibility of friendship, because they have a agenda that empowers them and they will continuously pick the scab off the wounds of the past. Anytime we as a culture near a point of healing, those who are endangered by that healing will intervene to make sure it never happens. That is what radicalism is. Choose carefully.

[@WesS2016]

Bring on the hate, but... You make a lot of assumptions and exclude some important facts. While there is some truth in your presentation your accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. Historically many mistakes were made in founding and adjusting our country. But I grew up in the 60's and 70's and witnessed the changes for good through the 80's as well as some setbacks. But I see a lot of culture causing a lot of the hardships. Forced labor for convicts was not limited to black folks by the way, it was actually used across the board on the poor. The biggest problem we face now is the production of hate towards our fellow man. The conversation needs to be about moving forward and remembering our past. If we rewrite history and do not have the facts to look back on how do we prevent a repeat?

[@mkeyser]

Wealth defines justice, not race. Being poor is a crime, and everyone lines up to take what little you have, so you cannot become middle class or better. Poverty doesn't care what color you are. I look at all the sports athletes making hundreds of millions of dollars, sure a lot of them give to charity, if they want to make a difference they could over night, they have the power of wealth, I do not, and yet I am taxed by the system that gives free money to people who are not citizens. Maybe you should ask why so much money goes to people who are not even citizens, and why this money should go first to people who were born here, who are disenfranchised and are KEPT poor by the same people that they vote for, by the same people that run "peculiar" institutions, who fly undocumented aliens into our country and settle them illegally into states under cover of darkness.

[@justforfun4100]

This is such a lackluster stance to take. Wealth defines justice to the extent that race is tied to wealth. Minority groups hold less of the national wealth than Caucasians, so it is still then a system aimed at minorities. Your argument of wealth re-distribution through athletes is another non-argument as you point out that a lot of them give portions to charity. Even if they did give all their earnings to charitable causes, it wouldn't be enough to rebalance the wealth disparity, that would be done through legislation. If you would like to provide a source showing where your taxes go directly to "non-citizens" I would like to see it, as this is nothing I am aware of. Same with the claim of these "people" who are flying immigrants into the country. You make point after point that has no real backing, its just reactionary.

It depends how you define race whether it exists or not.

Light colored people have an easier time absorbing vitamin d from the sun but have a harder time dealing with sun exposure. Darker colored people have the reverse. This is in the genetics and has developed over the course of different ethnicity's evolution. Its not objectively better or worse, its only situationally better or worse. This doesn't have anything to do with intelligence and i don't claim any ethnicity has an advantage in intelligence.

[@TempestTheBlaze]

its pretty hard to tie ethnicity to phenotypical traits. Ironically, the race that is, arguably, most sterotyped -- black people -- exemplify this pretty clearly.

Can't we measure race through genetics? We can tell if someone's blood sample is African American or Asian? Then it would seem that that it is a physical distinction, just like when you say there are taller(than average) or shorter(than average) people.

[@mystyc0]

+chris marton We can measure "haplogroups" and can compare ancestral regional phenotypes, but there is no medical test for "race." In fact, almost every statistic you see about race relies upon self-identified responses on surveys. It is not like scientists regularly measure skin tone of their survey respondents, or ask for photographs for "verification purposes." Even if someone claims to have ancestors from a certain region, they may not be part of any major haplogroup of that region. Think about this: maybe you are not the race you think you are. Maybe your grandparents or their grandparents lied about their race in order to get around some discriminatory policy. Maybe your parents mark "other" on applications asking about race, even if you put something else.

[@mystyc0]

We're beginning to be able to test for the genetic markers for some of the things you mention, but our unequal access to healthcare makes such practical tests seemingly impractical. I think we are at a point where wealth inequality has become a retardant to technological progress. But yeah, _GATTACA_ and stuff, heh :-p . I do not blame individuals for this or for their seemingly emotional attachment to harmful beliefs, as I consider these to be failings of the collective-will of humanity. Individually, humans are brilliant animals. We are far smarter than any other animal on this planet to a degree that almost seems "excessive." By comparison, if we considered something like "collective-intelligence," in analogy with individual intelligence, such that it is a measure of the capacity for a group to solve collective-problems and take deliberate collective-action, then we find that collectively, humans are almost dumber than shit. Most other species can naturally form groups where self-organization and cooperative behavior happens almost automatically. Eusocial insects, like ants or bees, have brains the size of the period at the end of this sentence, and yet can naturally build complicated living spaces capable of accommodating populations that are on the order of our human cities. In contrast, humanity lacks the collective-intelligence to feed itself despite producing enough food to feed everyone (sometimes as much as 1.5 times the food needed to feed everyone on this planet), and as a collective-entity, we have a tendency to shit all over ourselves. In a sense, humanity is the barely the collective equivalent of a helpless newborn baby that craps itself, can't feed itself, and seems to only be able to make odd noises while drooling (i.e., twitter). As a species we seem to be collective-idiot-savants, in that we are collective-retarded whilst having this one unusual extraordinary talent: the individual members of this collective-entity, humanity, are individually brilliant. There is likely no way for us to naturally self-organize ourselves or to otherwise overcome our systemic failings, as is evident by 11,000 years of human civilization; the biggest and greatest experiment humanity has ever undertaken. There is no example of a socioeconomic or political system from any point in human history that could be applicable in any context save for the most unique special circumstances that are essentially irreproducible. So don't blame your fellow humans, rather, blame The System. If we are to survive as a species, then our best bet is to use our technology to create the collective-equivalent of a prosthetic device in order to overcome our collective-disability.

[@mystyc0]

Yeah. Instead of evolving the sort of collective-behavior that animals like bees have, we evolved individual intelligence. The point is that we don't have any sort of natural structure like that, and so regardless of how great some potential socioeconomic structure might seem, in theory, humans simply have not evolved the ability to effectively self-organize. Thus by this reasoning, our best bet is some sort of technology based solution beyond what we usually do.

[@louischesloguevara1617]

I am sorry, but I don't understand what do you mean, when you say "race does not exist". From biological perspective: there are objective characteristics, and since these are almost surely inherited, they must have a genetical background - which actually can be tested today to some extent, and I am sure that in the future we will be able to predict e. g. hair colour from DNA with a very high probability. From sociological perspective: as far as I know the majority of the phenomenons researched in sociology are not exact, for example some terms refer vaguely to a part of society, implications are not exact either, they are rather the formulations of certain correlations. Thus, when one talks about a certain race, the definition could very well be probabilistic in its nature. Could you please elaborate?

Filium whites do not benefit off of racism post civil rights. A lot of the things in the video can be seen as an irrelevant factor as to why blacks have the worst outcomes on average.

As one philosopher once said "Philosophers and philosophy students love to talk about justice, but don't say much of shit about INJUSTICE."

[@thewrathematician1911]

chris ward Ah yes, I believe it was Bullshitticus who said that.

The author should be called Professor Pendejo

[@yasminea.4681]

0:28 Sir, philosophers, Immanuel Kant, David Hume, and Voltaire, were essential for the development of western philosophical inquiry. However, they all were racist and biased. An attenuated question is not why, but how: it is possible that a philosopher (Kant) was racist and is renowned for his moral theory? The main question is how could such a theory be applicable if it derived from a thinker who was, on account, ostentatiously impudent to those of whom belonged to certain demographics?

[@snowiiiiie]

I guess if we can say that the author is dead then we should also be allowed to say that the philosopher is dead and that a theory can stand on its own, regardless of who brought it up

[@scienceandrace525]

You gave an overview of Critical Race Theory, but you did not resolve the paradox. It should have been easily resolved: races exists as ideas, and mere ideas have significant social consequences. Your overview instead served to introduce many more paradoxes. Why does institutional racism have such a vast effect not just in America but all over the world, including other nations in which racism is widely hated? Does an expensive prison system really transfer wealth from blacks to whites--would not a free and working underclass of blacks benefit whites much more? Why do blacks so willing play along with the systemic racial oppression via prisons, given that blacks are overrepresented among objective criminals according to victim interviews and races of victims, not just according to arrests and convictions, and not just in America but all over the world? These paradoxes seem to be easily resolved with genetic differences between races. It is a racist idea, but some racist ideas are apparently probable.

[@susankerkhoff1233]

Very isightful and helpful! Metaphysical thank you for sharing! And really nice quality presentation!

[@YoungMule]

I wish they would do a discussion of the coloniality of race

[@plasticspoon60]

Racist.

[@sergeizaiats5701]

agree but only with the part of this. Also for all segregation's is always some reasons.

[@jb_kofi]

So u are saying the sergregation had a justifiable reason?

[@crystalmoore1961]

An extremely well done video. Thanks for posting this! I'll be sharing it with a group of college history students tomorrow to discuss the current ramifications of slavery in antebellum America.

[@joshuawacasey1076]

Can you share with me what some of those ramifications are?

Liar. I had to stop the video when he said that slavery continued to exist after the passage of the 13th amendment.

[@lunchmeat9118]

It does though

[@luisrubenguzman3043]

Great video, it is accessible and easy to understand. Thanks for publishing this video!

[@lef6419]

Wireless, you did a vey good job of tying race or racism in America together. The real problem is at the continued denial regarding issues of racism. How many times have people been caught even Red Handed and they deny you're not seeing what you think you're seeing.

[@ssrobs2552]

Le F Such as?

[@lef6419]

It's not racism, Why do people think it's about racism? That was back then, etc.

[@ssrobs2552]

Le F I'm so confused what your.point is. Can you clarify?

[@lef6419]

I was responding to your previous message: "Le F Such as?" i took that to mean you're looking for examples of how do I believe incidences constitute racism.

[@ssrobs2552]

Le F Yes, that is what I was asking. You gave me what common excuses are used not the racism itself.
