I can't believe I'm saying this, but people need to understand something, racism and slavery are two very different things...even though mainstream media, and the pathetic systematic education system tells us that they are one in the same. Before the Americas where founded, slavery was more, much more, rampant throughout the entire world. Asians were enslaving Asians, Europeans were enslaving Europeans, Africans were enslaving Africans, and it was also mixed, the three major continents at that time, Asia, Europe, Africa were all enslaving each other, and surprisingly nowhere more so than Africa. It wasn't until America was founded that the HUMAN TRAFFICKING, because that's what it was, started to crumble.. the country you would least expect, England, actually started the process to end slavery or Human trafficking as you know it to be from now on, wait, there's more, just before and during, and for some time after the civil war, black americans were selling, are you ready, black americans.

It deported and expelled millions of people on the basis of race until the 1970s. It segmented society and barred entry into many schools, professions, and home ownership on the basis of race until the 70s as well. Race is just how the US defined and categorized its own society.

Same here. American media and KZbin videos introduced those terms and from what I hear, it's now being spread around here in Denmark as well (mainly in Copenhagen, of course)... because anytime anything happens in U.S.A., politicians in other western countries say "hey, let's do the same thing here!", for some dumbass reason...

Fun fact. The guy that wrote Roots when asked about the historical inaccuracies of the book/movie admitted that he “wanted to create a myths for his people to live by” because it was completely inaccurate. White people had nothing to do with the actual “slave breaking” process and the only group of white people that ever captured slave were Portuguese pirates and the number of slaves that they captured was in the hundred or possibly 1000. Africans enslaved other Africans usually through wars or debts and sold them to white people on the coast. The average lifespan of white people within the continent of Africa was less than one year and they were in no position to fight African armies and carry off slaves… In fact it wasn’t until after quinine and other medical advances were discovered that westerners could survive on the continent long enough to actually engage African armies, but by then the slave trade had already ended in all western countries except a few South American countries like Brazil…

[@mumbo-jumbo7917]

Fun fact. Anyone can read the writings of Frederick Douglas to see how well slaves were treated in America. The ones that came over in a boat as well as the ones born here. Thankfully we will always have that UNDISPUTED first hand account as well as others.

[@MidnightSt]

"myths for his people to live by" yeah. we normal people call that "ideological propaganda bullshit". "Africans enslaved other Africans usually through wars or debts and sold them to white people on the coast." same as everyone else through the history used to enslave their neighbors in war. ...until the English decided that it's inhuman, about 150 years ago, and expended inordinate amount of effort and money to force everyone else to agree.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

The *"Africans enslaved other Africans"* bs narrative needs to be thrown in the gutter. Historians don't say the Germans invaded their own when they marched into Poland during WW2. "Africans" didn't enslave their "own" at that time period different ethnic groups that belonged to different African kingdoms & empires were often coerced into attacking their neighbors that was of a different ethnicity. People were not capturing their aunts, grandmas & uncles. Many of these people were forced into the white supremacist capitalist system or risked getting invaded & colonized themselves.... they caved in to pressure & got colonized anyway. Talk about being stuck between a rock & a hard place. Damned if you do damned if you don't. It's just like today. If an African country dares to try & do it's own thing the capitalist West will do it's best to stamp out the resistance.

Fun fact. Africans weren't the only slaves. Europeans and Asians were too. Irish indentured servants were forced to go to America to DIE as part of Britain's plans to commit genocide against the Irish. The Irish were sold cheap as possible to be worked to death. Where as, African slaves were expensive in comparison so in many cases were taken care of much better. I mean no one buys a Mercedes to go smash it. Nah they go find the pinto and smash that instead. Irish indentured servants were the pintos who were there to be smashed. A lot of evil happened back then but it was happening to all races. What you should be scared of is the new world order when they say things like ... You will own nothing and you will love it ... slaves don't own anything either .......... The rich elite want their slaves back and they are coming for EVERYONE.

According to the author , Roots is historical fiction. For example ; Europeans never kidnapped africans. Slavers were purchased from African tribes whose practice it was to enslave any other tribe they concurred. The slave trade was controlled by the African tribes. To kidnap an African meant the crew of your ship would have to fight the whole army of a tribe. Another fun fact was proportionally more Europeans died on slave ships in Han slaves did. The African viruses were new to Europeans and just like European diseases wiped out the Indians, African diseases would wipe out the crews of slave ships.

When my parents (rip) were children, segregation was still in practice. They told me about this. Poc were not allowed to use the "white" pool. The 'white" pool was always the community pool and maintained by the local government. Having one pool was more than some places could afford and it was rare for larger places to have more than one pool. So poc had no opportunity to swim unless there were natural waters available like lakes, etc., and even those weren't available when white people were present. Offhand, I would say racism is why many poc never learned to swim back-in-the-day.

Anyways, I support digging up all of those pools, just to show what the effects will be(malicious compliance). it's not like there's any issues with paying for maintenance or keeping things not suited for it (willdlife), from falling in to it.

Have you checked out Burr's new special on Netflix: Live at Red Rocks? It's 🔥🔥🔥 The bit he does on women's sports is hilariously spot on. His zero f*cks no filter way of telling jokes is top echelon comedy. Even listening to him just shoot the shit on Joe Rogan's podcast is almost its own comedy special in itself.

[@David-fanboy]

That part was so funny. No one in the WNBA got Covid! No one goes to the games!

[@large-degenerated]

I love that guys like Bill Barr can have us laughing right along with each other. Peace!!

[@jflamen]

In a KZbin filled with reaction videos, you are the least spazzy, and you actually have good commentary. Nice job!

[@danielmatthews5656]

Totally agree 👍

[@netmaster88]

Freedom Writers was the Hilary Swank one....The Blind Side was one where Sandra Bullock was a coach to a black football team. Sandra Bullock also adopted two black children in real life. She was on the Will Smith show the Round table talking about her experiences with that.

[@atomicsamurai8967]

In all seriousness, I'm pretty broken hearted on how America has developed. I was so hopeful that the future was going to be awesome as a kid. Now it's turned into a genuine clown shoes shit show rodeo circus with everyone at each other's throats, government corruption is at an all time high, etc.... I've had breakdowns from how everything is going but I do my best to put on a smile. I really hope we can reach a point where we put all the stupid stuff aside and come together.

[@ericwiese7479]

With you there!

All caused by the media …… turn it off …. Most People are genuinely good but they the people in charge elite wealthy people want us divided it’s easier to control us if we’re not all together

[@ohlord3650]

The movie he was referring to was Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfeifer. That had Gangsta's Paradise as the anthem.

[@Riiccia]

Normally I think reaction videos are BS, but I think these are important in bringing everyone closer together. Thanks boss :)

"So I was punching the muffins!... " -Bill Burr

[@matthewseelow]

We need to embrace our differences instead of pretending they don't exist. For instance, at about 1:35 you are talking about swimming and how most of your black friends don't/can't swim. There is a reason you don't see too many black swimmers in the Olympics if any, and well, that is due to biology. Black people have a higher bone density than white people and it causes them to not be as fast swimmers. BUT, this is also the reason you see more black people in sports like basketball and running. But the main take away is to just be a cool person, regardless of color.

[@Moetastic]

You're right, the only issue is trying to figure out if the person is talking in earnest about between populations of human beings or using that as a subtle way to be a dick. Like Bill Burr said, in modern times, racism is subtle and not in your face. Its like when someone say "bless your heart" and its not as nice as you think it is. We all have differences and thats not a bad thing. Whether its biology, culture or what athletics a country invests in, if at all.

[@jeanine6328]

I think that major events in history being a first for blacks is extremely important because it’s not always taught in school. I graduated in the 80’s and never knew about the Tuskegee airmen until the movie. It was incredible! When my father was in the VA hospital, he shared a room with one of the men that was part of that group. He’d never been happier to meet anyone in his life. I think the only person that could have had a bigger impact is sharing a room with his hero John Wayne. He told the guy that it was way better than even meeting a president. He talked about it a lot. He felt really honored to have met him.

[@knowitall3503]

Why would you teach "first for blacks" in school? There wouldn't be enough time to teach ' first for ' people who are short, fat , white , oriental, tall, etc etc.

[@koba163]

"Real racism is..." Yet as a child, I was told I wasn't white enough to my face. You cannot judge history by the standards of today.

[@Neteruk]

Should've told whoever said that to you to go buy more sunscreen for their vampiric ass skin.

[@invitalizer]

Weren’t white enough for what?

[@OzymandiasWasRight]

One of the things that make Bill Burr great is his consistency. The special this clip is from (Why Do I Do This) is hilarious from start to finish.

[@darshuetube]

Yeah, it is interesting to hear perspective from a black person on this kind of racially sensitive topics. I think we are too politically correct and too much identity politics.

[@DigitalFMJ]

I think the movie you were thinking of was Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfeiffer 😉😎

[@CrazyQ6930]

No, it's wasn't always quiet. I grew up in a changing neighborhood in the 60s. I had some cool white friends too, but everyone hung out in groups especially when you went out to an event outside your neighborhood or city. It made it difficult for racists to confront us for several reasons. One it wasn't a small group and two we looked like hoods (we were). Still, that didn't stop the occasional altercation with another group and we held our own. Had we been alone or with a couple of friends we'd been taken out. That could happen even at our high school. Long past those days as a responsible adult, I was working at a radio station. We were covering a county festival and I overheard our deejay trying to convince a group of White men that I was a good guy. It worked. Now I'm a senior and can tell that society has evolved some. That kind of hatred has been toned down. And in comparison, racist jokes or even comments don't measure more than a notice to me. But those klan types are kinda happening again. There are places where it's not so quiet. But, Bill Burr is one of my favorite comedians, and as you said, there is nothing wrong in telling it how it is no matter who is in the punchline. ( uhh, I'm not talking violence with the word punchline🥊). I've heard some consider the use of the wrong pronoun as violence. ❓

[@1976PartyBoy]

Steven Wright...'nuff said. He will "Shock you" &, his comic style, will make you THINK !!!

[@garrettroberts929]

He’s married to a black woman. Need more?

[@EarthScienceEnjoyer]

comedians are great in general man, i've discovered so many great comedians in the past year thanks to youtube, Bill burr, Jimmy o yang, Dave chapelle, George carlin, Gabriel iglesias, and then some indian guy who's name slips me (i remembered, russel peters.). + a bunch of smaller names which had a good skit here and there. What i love about comedians is that they allow you to laugh about things, A good comedian can say terrible things but still make people come together. They reach such a wide range of people and allow us to understand eachother better.

[@shanedaniel8954]

I love how KZbinrs tell their viewers that they don’t watch these videos before they react to them. Id bet my mortgage he’s seen this video before he reviewed it for us lol

[@mikey92362]

Blackboard Jungle, High School Confidential, The Principal, Dangerous Minds, Lean on Me, The Substitute, Stand and Deliver. But the movie you MUST see is the spoof of them all. "High School High" from 1996 starring Jon Lovits is comedy gold. :)

[@BlackSeranna]

During COVID, my friends and I had a bad movie watch party. I chose Big Ass Spider. Since my friends are white WASPS, they were condemning the scene were the Mexican guy was saying his dream was to own a taco truck, and the other scene where the spider runs down through the downtown area and there is a Tupac looking dude that was terrified but said he would kick the spider’s ass. My friends were saying, “This is so stereotypical!” I said, “I’m Mexican and I think this is hilarious!” I mean, that movie was in good fun. But my friends were afraid they’d be racists if they laughed. They thought it was in appropriate. I then told them about a hilarious fight movie called Chocolate, and the bad guys were trannies. They were horrified at the thought. I said, “Nah, they were great bad guys, and what, trannies can’t be represented?” But they thought it was the most awful movie. I said, “Look, people are people, and in a story about people, we should represent all of them.” Anyway, I feel like making movies or shows where there are no differences in culture seems like cultural oppression. I don’t know what to call it when white people are afraid to mention anything cultural.

[@katerkarlo159]

Yeah, what is it called? Been asking myself the same thing. The awkwardness of the situation carries over too. I'm thinking "lighten up mf it's just a movie". Now they got me double checking myself if it's ok to laugh. Wtf

[@BlackSeranna]

@@katerkarlo159 I don't know, but what I do see is that filmmakers and writers are afraid to write anything cultural because it might accidentally cause someone to become offended. I watched a video where Japanese people were interviewed about the "cultural appropriation" of the kimono. They all said that this is a Western idea, that they enjoyed the idea of a Westerner making clothes inspired by their kimonos. I thought this was pretty great - for all those a-holes who are surfing the internet trying to find the next person to cancel based on something they say or wear, this was a fresh take.

[@katerkarlo159]

@@BlackSeranna You're right, it is a good take. Unfortunately this only works on people who are capable of admitting to their mistakes of which I doubt that those, as you say, "a-holes" are capable of since it's really about self validation at this point and nothing else.

[@HighTech72886]

Nice! “Swinging Sticks” sculpture in the background. Iron Man 2 style.

[@eTraxx]

When I was in the Army I was conflicted about Black History Month. Why .. you ask? Well .. hated the touchy feely bit .. "Lets all hug and kiss and make up and learn how horrible white people were..." .. but at the same time the mess hall would have "Soul Food" .. which for a Southern Boy was "Home Cooking.." .. you may get the conflict. I've been into genealogy for 20 years. If ANYONE has done that you find that we are mongrels. We all. We are a mix of all peoples from way way back in the days when everyone ran around with spears. DNA doesn't give a pock what your racist bs might be

[@clipsedrag13]

you're very even keeled. it's a breath of fresh air in 2022

[@natalieJe10]

Love your videos, seriously could only pay attention to about 20% of it though. That spinny thing you have in the back is just so fascinating! 😂

[@dangeary2134]

See, this is the kind of black man I would die for. This is the sort of mentality that screams that a person KNOWS that the extremists are lying and trying to make us hate each other. This guy is, above all else, totally real!

[@pacldawson]

Really good reaction video. I'm gonna check out more of your stuff!

[@Dariddda]

The 1 Sandra Bullock movie I remember is called The Blind Side where there's that black kid with a really troubled background having nowhere to go home, his mother is a drug addict, but he's really good at protecting people, and he is a huge dude... so Sandra Bullock adopts him, and makes him one of the greatest players in the American Football history... or something like that. Based on a true story... Michael Oher the guy I think the movie is about.

Lean on me was a true story, school in NJ. Principal with the Bullhorn and baseball bat, Joe Clark I think his name was, got in trouble for chaining off the entrances which were also fire emergency exits. Other than that tge man was admirably renowned and positively motivated.

[@TheUprightLuthier-1959]

Sandra Bollocks in Blind Side was a football coach to at a black college/high school, something. I watched 10 minutes on cable, I couldn't bear it, I got up and pulled several of my teeth out with pliers. That was much more entertaining than the movie.

[@VanderJam]

Just stumbled on this. Love the channel.

I remember the movie Roots.... In the 80s they would play it a lot on TV I believe his African name was kunta kinte if I remember correctly..... They also play those cowboys spaghetti movies from Clint Eastwood of the 1960s by that Italian director... Forgot the guy's name

Makes me miss living in my one room apartment in the hood. My downstairs neighbor was this super sweet black lady. She always caught me while I was coming home from my roofing job. We'd have a beer and a blunt on the porch and talk about each other's day. Nowadays, having moved across the country, I miss that. Hope she's doing well.
