Should You Talk To White People About Race? Part 2
#shorts

[@hsumlin1999]

Hope the shorts gets your ideas out to a broader audience

[@DigSamurai]

Well said. I feel only black people can call out bullshit like that. Somehow we survived slavery but we can't survive difficult conversations?

[@RasheedGazzi-u5l]

I don't talk to white people about race. I don't talk to them about anything outside of work.

[@cmcull987]

Well said. Literally, only black people are allowed to call her on the BS because if white people do it, they are in denial, or being fragile, or exhibiting some other mental or emotional problem. She's created a bizarre defense against people questioning her ideas.

[@TremendousSax]

​@@RasheedGazzi-u5lthat's very enlightened of you

[@derangedcrouton1864]

We? Wtf did you do? You never went through slavery how dare you act like you can understand to any degree what they went through... you have no point of reference

I hope a big part of ppl who bought that book, read it so they were able to decide for themselfs that it‘s BS.

[@grover2727]

That describes the conversation with EVERY liberal

[@ronalddepesa6221]

Regressive leftist. Lets not equate liberalism with leftist ideology rooted in critical social justice.

[@powerflodiesel5597]

Dude.. VERY well said...

[@twntwrs]

Sadly, failing to follow Diangelo's instructions can nowadays lead to the souring or end of longstanding friendships

[@billearl9394]

Are those relationships worth keeping?

[@ryanrobin12]

[@edwinamendelssohn5129]

@@billearl9394 yes, she's a trouble maker. She's the racist trying to appease her own guilt by making out all white people to be racist. It's cruel and non productive.

[@edwinamendelssohn5129]

@@billearl9394yes, people stirring up trouble to divide literally everyone. Friends, kids and parents, husbands and wives should not be listened to. It's all over the place

[@Thunderrolls]

​@@ryanrobin12I agree that, if someone's willing to end a friendship because you disagree with them on a social issue, they're ideologically possessed, and they've lost a lot of my respect. But, knowing so many of those types of people, I know that they let's say randomly that half of them are good hearted, useful idiots. Personally, I don't think it's worthwhile to cut them off in the same way that the worst of them cut me off. To be clear, most of these ideologically owned people don't actually end the friendship with you, especially if you're disagreeing with them privately, in a one on one conversation. Most likely, they'll just go on the defensive, and not be able to admit where they're wrong, or where the holes in their logic may be. But they won't go crazy and demonize you, across the board. It's on us, as more level headed citizens, to find ways to invite them back into reality. And to have enough patience to let them go through the typical stages of disbelief, which, yes, are often abrasive.

[@Victory987]

Scott Adams was right This can't be fixed. Just stay away. Reject them at all costs. Move away and leave them ro their own demise.

[@tagon70]

Exactly..we never should have integrated .Of course when black people lived away from white folk,they still came to black towns to terrorize fellow Americans .Americans that fought in EVERY war this country had..

[@cr3070]

Purchasing her book and posting that you were reading it or posting it as a highly recommended book was more of a flex to show how self aware you were of your privilege and fragility. Most people I knew who read it looked at it more of as a self help book and less as a perpetuation of stereotypes and racism.

[@cmcull987]

Thanks for sharing this. I find it strange that she is unwilling to have a debate about her ideas. But I think CH is right. In a way, I find her approach to discussions with black people to be actually condescending to them.

[@tammyvanwinkle8870]

How about be honest each of us even if we agree or disagree and be respectful and nonviolent.

[@RasheedGazzi-u5l]

If we start being brutally honest with each other both sides will walk away angry.

Can we get a link to the full talk?

[@Trishpage312]

Bam!

[@ArmOr_of_the_Alpha_and_Omega]

True.

[@MH-gg9fz]

I’d rather create a conversation about how the black community can lift themselves out of the mire that many of them are in. Maybe then my apartment that one of them rented from me wouldn’t have shit in the toilet, clothes everywhere, old furniture and oh yeah, he owed me $5k. I know the answer of how to live, so you live better than before, but no, we’d rather focus on race which is meaningless.

[@CharliRay]

I would definitely remain silent and withdraw from the conversation if they brought up race ,politics ,religion,sexual orientation or reproductive rights I’m out of any of those topics come up with anyone regardless of skin color . I’m only white passing and still refuse to discuss race with black folks it’s always an argument. ALWAYS! And I enjoy peace and quiet and god times life’s too damn short to fill your day with drama

[@joelalmon3088]

Exactly 💯

[@spaceknight793]

lol... and who actually takes those instructions seriously?

[@mattbabb.]

What video is this clip from?? I like it!

[@joelalmon3088]

Should talk to anyone about anything.

[@luvitluvitbaby]

That is one person with one opinion. The majority of people don’t operate that way. I welcome debate.

[@user-mm8vw1ow1x]

The majority doesn't mean its right

[@user-mm8vw1ow1x]

Talk to all people about all things. Autism knows whats up

[@mechellestewart8439]

It sounds like Jim Crowe bullshit.

[@ChordOfC]

This entirely depends on context.

[@brianbailey4577]

Most useless hours I’ve ever spent reading her book.

[@jamesbrown7314]

No, it's a waste of time. I'm mixed race and even my own family won't here it from me. They have a cognitive disconnect from reality. They prefer they're own world view with themselves at the top of the social economic hierarchy at the expense of everyone else

[@naelyneurkopfen9741]

Yeah, they can kma.

[@acoleman51096]

Stop talking about race entirely

[@roranoazoro6961]

That literally impossible from every aspect you could try and slice it

[@DigSamurai]

I agree we focus on race too much instead of solutions.

[@bradspitt3896]

When they're willing to "fix" racism by crossing political boundaries you kind of have to.

[@mk.marksman1369]

Wtfffff she should be in prison for racism.... Wtf is going on in America xdddd i feel bad for u

[@user-mm8vw1ow1x]

No one should be caged for their voice or ideals

[@Audio041194]

It seems disrespectful and disingenuous to treat any one the way Robin D'Angelo describes in that book. Doesn't even solve anything.

[@durcell123]

I never have conversations with whitey , oh wait I'm white 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@p.a.w.sthetravelinggamer6750]

isn't that racist? lol wtf??

[@zerohhface651]

Yeah it should say “should you talk to LIBERALS” about race.

[@DigSamurai]

Not all liberals.

[@mechellestewart8439]

Stereotyping is so juvenile.

[@MH-gg9fz]

Dude, you look like a nice guy. Why are you wasting your life complaining?? Stop the nonsense, get yourself a real purpose in life and stop thinking any of us care. We have our own lives and problems.

[@sysyphenf8ewtfr603]

It’s true that accusations of racism against white people are exaggerated but keep in mind that they represent powerful majority in the US and they don’t face as much hurdles as others in actual real life so repeatedly defending them unintentionally makes you look pathetic considering you’re a minority and they’re a majority. So you have to find a balance in such a way that both white and black peoples concerns are fairly addressed.

[@willmercury]

Powerful majority? There's that domination narrative. There is a majority population in every polity; that is not synonymous with oppression. Coleman looks pathetic? That's not an argument, that's a slur. Minority vs majority? How is that morally salient? If you're going to insist on social sorting, here's a reality check: not all of the respective concerns are real or equal. Some are grounded in grift, as your own myside bias clearly demonstrates. Clean your own room.

[@nateu360]

I think saying that they dont face as much hurdles is a cop out because we all have them, most of the time it isnt how you look but what you have and can do, it shouldnt be my skin color caused… its mostly hurdles we have been given individually and most can look past the racial problem, its when WE try to take on another class of issue is when we get into trouble, its not a one size fit all issue

[@commonsensecraziness7595]

Defending racism makes you look pathetic.

[@JacksonHighlander]

How much help does a white guy from an Arkansas trailer park get from the government vs a black male, pick your favorite metropolitan area. Cause when I looked for scholarships it was all for anyone not a white dude. Companies everywhere have pledges to hiring minorities for being born a minority. Schools do the same. Why are you such a punk loser at using your brain? Whats the point? Get some Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams in ya.

[@youruncle2916]

That doesn't make him look pathetic, it makes him look reasonable and well adjusted to the society he lives in. Right now black people face less hurtles in terms of college acceptance and employment opportunities, so their odds of success should be higher. Exactly what hurtles do they have that white people don't, besides the ones imposed on them by their own community and culture?

[@MonteAdorableMax]

Thisnone is legit... he says some shit that is totally missing the point of shit sometimes... like the colorblind thing.
