Sure, but if yall you do is talk, eventually it becomes redundant. All this crying and drum circle shit is just a bunch kumbaya nonsense. In capitalistic society, the only thing that moves your agenda is capital. Lobbying, power, without those you aint never gon get what you want. But hey, if folks rather figure out whos most oppressed, thats fine. But even if everyone in the world acknowledged your answer, it would change nothing. My 2cents

It won't do shit. This ain't the 60s anymore, where it would've worked. America is more privileged than the rest of the world. Case closed.

No, because the people who can make change to the society dont care about your or anybody feeling. If you want to change your life, do it yourself and you have to accept that the prejudice and the steriotype will always be there.

It definitely helps to a certain extent, BUT after you have addressed/acknowledged the social aspect of oppression the focus should also be towards the material well being of those marginalized groups. I do believe things such as police brutality , healthcare, education, drug regulation/laws, and many more act as a huge aspect of overall oppression. Even if topics like those are tackled and improved through law, there will still always be a problem to answer and improve upon. There won’t be a one stop shop solution for everything, but we should try to do the best we can.

@@boiiii9042 I personally think now we should be focusing on how to teach in low income places how they can make it to a financially stable place.

Black can't be racist

I have too, and believe me, both sides are convinced the other deserves it.

Its almost like everyone is capable of being prejudiced

It's a hell of a lot easier than looking inward and raising yourself past your problems. In these people's minds, white ppl don't struggle, and know no hardships. They are compete imbeciles who know nothing of life or reality.

All those people competing are Hebrew Israelites.

@richard byfield as if you would know

@richard byfield some asian people can have it worst than some black people. It's like weird, because it removes the individual from his race, forcing him into the stereotype that is associated with his race. When it is simultaneously true that some black people have it way better than their entire race. And some asians have it way worst. It just removes the nuance when the reality is that it can be extremely nuanced.

basically.. just be kind regardless of race and treat everyone with dignity and respect as an individual.

✌

Agree but most black people is tired of feeling only hate as they live in this world thus the sob stories and the forever trauma of bad memories. I want black people to actually have real help from someone.

yup, don't need to like everyone, but no physical attack please

@@Owlkisses88 feeling is within you, I can't help you with how you feel, all we can do as society is to put rules and regulations in place to make sure you are not being oppressed.

I always give people the benefit of a doubt, I feel I can get a long with damn near anyone.

​@Okay. I don't think its acting different. It's when you have to tone down your natural self, for someone else to feel comfortable. For example, a group of individuals speak in a very firm tone naturally. Its just how these individuals speak. But now, the person has to tone down because others in the office are uncomfortable with the way you speak. That's what they are talking about.

@@DijonLR I’m white and I do the same thing and I know many other white people that change tone at work. If I don’t I come off aggressive or rude because my Eastern European demeanor. People are highly sensitive these days because of liberals in that victim circle.

@Okay. I disagree, Black people have to code switch, while yt people get to be themselves. Being yt is considered professional, therefore you don't have to do much. But when Black people speak aave or ebonics at work, it is seen as unprofessional

@@luckyduck_. Wow, you are very wrong, EVERYONE code switches at work very few act like that outside of work. I'm friends with managers at work (white black and latino) and the difference from their work attitude is night and day. The white guy's change is the most dramatic, he is loud and very joking outside but at work he is all business with a much quieter tone.

Its they way and extent of the code switch. To may be give an exaggerated example say you have a cold and have trouble breathing and this other guy has a lung disease that gives him even more trouble breathing. Both have trouble breathing but one clearly more than the other and the guy with a cold is like "so what i also have trouble breathing".

Don't forget the: "Oh you're an oreo" "Oh you talk white" "Oh you're different" Always always hated hearing that in school. And what black folks themselves don't understand is that you're putting down your own people when you say that. Are we suppose to be ghetto? Speak ebonics? Not properly formulate a sentence and sound coherent? Why is that only a "white" thing? The way someone speaks/sounds doesn't define their race or who they are to be exact, etc. Anybody can sound like everybody. It sucks that we're still at this halt within are race where people haven't understood that and your ostracized for it.

Right😂😂😂

Yep i was about to say this scenario

Its about the degree of the code switch not just the fact that we all code switch

It’s not just a respect thing it’s whole conversations are different fam even just the small talk you have is different with white people to fit in and not stick out i went to a Catholic school where there was 3 black people i went to a high school where i always heard rural white guys call me one of the good ones when im around those type of white people (which it’s safer to assume you are) who don’t really interact with a mix of races i have to be a completely different person

@@RJ-mh3ox But small talk with everyone regardless if your background is different. What would be the ideal then? You approach each individual person differently, because they're exactly that.

FACTS on top of FACTS

Right! I also grew up in the hood and ppl are just ppl lol

I’m half Korean/African American and I live with my South Korean mom as my dad passed, we live in a black majority neighborhood in Virginia and people have been so helpful and polite her so she’s always had a positive view on black people. I had no idea this rift between the Asian and Black communities existed up until a few weeks ago.

I agree with you 100%..... Because I’ve lived in Asia for Two years Korea and they new little to nothing about African Americans. Other then what they saw on TV.. And it wasn’t good...So for me I took the challenge of being a good example and changing there minds... Basically by being open and telling them to ask me any questions they had about my culture and how I grew up in America about my family etc.... And within the 1st year..... I could see that the more I told them the more they understood..... If you are someone that is quick to anger I wouldn’t recommend it... But if you are a slow to anger and listen then definitely be that person to explain your experience

Which media is telling you to be scared of black people?

Man that's fucked up 💯 Seems that Alot of the minorities here just seem to be at each other's throats

Theres also bad blood with hispanics vs asians and hispanics vs blacks too.

I remember being younger, living an area that for a while, was 100% white. But me and my brother grew up listening to rap music from the US. We were on holiday once, and after hearing the word ‘nigga’ being used in a ‘good way’ between black artists, and seeing TV show’s where black people would greet each other with something like ‘sup nigga, what’s good’... There was these two guy’s, we got along, became friends. And at one point, my brother said exactly that “sup nigga”... One of them responds with “You can’t say that”. My brother looked a bit confused, as he thought it was just a way of greeting each other. They told him “That’s racist, that’s like if I were to call you a cracker”... Still looking a bit confused, because he’d never heard the term cracker before either. So he wasn’t all that offended by it... They explained, ‘nigger’ was a racial slur used by white people against blacks, and ‘cracker’ vice versa. He apologised, explained why he said it, and we all carried on with our holiday fine. The point I’m making is, people aren’t born racist. People are made to be racist. There are certain groups of people that don’t want to move forward, and others that seem unable to. But all of it is only because of what they are taught. The only reason my brother used the word ‘nigga’ was because he learnt it from black people. He wasn’t taught it by my parents, because my parents weren’t racist. Race was never a topic. We also weren’t taught, “Some white people in the past have done bad thing’s, so we should be weary of all white people”. We were taught people in general can be bad. Not because of anything specifically, but there’s just bad people that exist. It doesn’t matter what they look like. Watching that was a completely new learning experience. To tell someone they can’t say something, that other’s around do regularly, simply because of the colour of their skin... That’s some shit. And I realise, they only thought like that, because they were taught to think like that. And my brother only said it, because he was taught differently. I genuinely believe the thing that’s keeping racism alive today, is previous generations and what they choose to teach us. History is important for us to not repeat the same mistakes. But history is only history if we can learn to move on from it. Edit: I put this, because in a way, I can see some similarities. It wasn’t until later you found out there was bad blood between the Black and Asian communities. But if wasn’t for that, you’d of never of known it was there in the first place. Right? So if that’s the case, then it’s down to us to set the example for the next generations to come. I know shit ain’t as simple as people always make it out to be. But if we stop teaching them this absolute garbage, because simply, that’s what it is. Eventually, we’ll get there. We should all be able to look back at our history, recognise the bad for what it was, and move on together. Because that’s what it is, “our” history. Not black history, Asian history, or white history. It’s our history as human beings living on this planet together.

I live in a predominantly black country and it's the same. They also won't accept certain natural hairstyles if you work in an office setting. Although, it's worth noting that my country has a fairly recent colonial past. We tend to put Indian(the second largest group) and white aesthetics at the top. But the code switching thing seems normal in every culture because you wouldn't speak to your boss or coworker the same casual way you speak to your friends.

I live in a white country and it`s the same thing you said. For certain jobs, you have to look (dress code, makeup, hairstyle, speak a certain way) as it`s stated in the contract. If I spoke to my boss as I spoke to my friends I would get fired so fast lol

Professionalism imo, is influenced more by culture than race. There is a reason why various countries, mainly Japan, is referenced in business and management courses. For example, South Korea has a big drinking culture and it is quite common for company staff to go drinking after work etc. and even if you may not want to drink that night, it may be viewed as disrespectful to turn down a drink by a superior (this is based off of a vague understanding of the culture so take with a grain of salt) whereas in America, choosing not to drink will be respected and understood, no questions asked.

Yeah and thats the difficult thing about these conversations. Someone says "asians are racist towards blk people" and many blk folks across the country will disagree or say theyve never felt it. Does it mean your experience is invalid? No, as people, blacks are hardly monolithic as so many things shape their perception and how they experience blackness. Location, community, income, education, local govt, culture. But none of that is ever raised. Even using the word asians is odd. Japanese dont think of themselves as asian more than they do Japanese. And the differences between these asian countries, from India, to Philippines to china, are so pronounced that lumping them all together as if they have the same experience is also asinine. They often segregate themselves not only by country, but sometimes BY PROVINCE. BY CASTE. It goes so deep how tribal we can be, so when we act like theres this big tribe that reps a whole group, im always confused. There are so many factors that go into this that are rarely looked at, but we rather just say "asians are smarter" because it simplifies issues that are very complex.

Personally, I had to catch-up on the concept of "code-switching" because I never had to do it. I did not grow up in an inner city household, so there was no code for me to switch from. I just speak plain, clear English all the time. Granted, for any person from that particular background to be able to consciously speak differently is admittedly a mark of intelligence. There is a little bit of irony in there somewhere.

Exactly

Also lots of white people look down on other white people. We don't all like each other or care for helping each other out.

@@joannasaadati8810 I actually see blacks, Hispanics, and Asians mostly stick with their own, whereas I see a lot of white people branching out to other races and not sticking with their own.

Yeah, you can look at the entirety of Europe against slavic ppl

Yeah I kinda felt like they missed the mark with code switching on this saying it was due to race in America rather than it just being in a corporate environment. Because immediately after they bring up code switching they point out code switching in corporate environment in predominately black countries

@@wolf12king17 and code switching in a professional setting in my (Black) country still isn't white culture. It is more "traditional", as in, traditional respect (for all), traditional manners & values, honouring hierarchy, etc.

Yeah I didn't get where he was trying to come from. There's a name for that in Psychology and it's called Identity Management. Just throughout the course of the day many people play out multiple identities. Like the respectful student, joking friend, friendly neighbor, hard worker. Like you're most likely going to talk to a random guy on the street different from you mom, a baby, your boss, your teacher etc. Whats this have to do with white people lol?

I thought this exactly. I’m informal with my family and friends, and formal at work. Everything, even language (especially language) has a time or place.

Yup. When I go to work, I don't speak or act the same way I would around my friends or family.

🔥🔥🔥😤

Don't forget martial arts. Boxing is a good one too...I think I remember seeing a movie about that called fireball..

People as a group/individually have a perverse desire, and take the pun lightly, to want whats out of reach or not the best suited for. Hence basketball instead of boxing even though there's eight foot tall basketball players

Oh sorry we don’t talk sense on the internet. Name calling and talking over each other only. /s

I agree

Yes I agree! It’s almost like there’s a ‘who’s the most victimised award’ they’re trying to achieve.

That's what most of this mainstream, pseudo equality is all about. Making each individual feel no one is as much of a victim as them. People claiming to be anti authority and yet regurgitating every bit of programing that authority hands them. Now no one gets hate, not like they do. They just "feel" it, and thus it is so. Sad times.

Because nobody wants to hear that they/themselves are or contribute to their own problems. Anytime people like Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell speak truths about the problems that need to be addressed they get attacked and dismissed. It’s much easier to point the finger at an imaginary “oppressor” than to be self aware.

Given the awareness on racism nowadays, you can only help your children be multi culturally aware. Unfortunately, you can't "protect" them for the hard battles ahead. My children are mixed race too, though they look predominantly white, they are aware of racism and discrimination and want to fight for equality whenever and wherever. They are the ones who need to forge a new /better environment for themselves and their future generations...

Love this 💜💜

Exactly. How you carry yourself matters.

U said it all

But if you treat a different group member like shit, that's a problem

Is a stupid term. I am a pale latin American, how that term is accurate for me? Just call me latin American.

@@di3486 they could just think your white and call you that

@@tillmen4444 Just call me a person.

@@di3486 That isn't a descriptive word

@@tillmen4444 is Homo sapiens better? That one hell of a descriptive term.

BlackNYellow‽ Hello

Would be great to see this the other way round. The black guy hitting on asians was a real issue for most asians I knew as a student. Trying to score was all that went on for them. And what had started as a promising future in Germany ended with a brown Baby and a low income job.

:o

@Discreetly Observing Germany. I used to live in an international student housing.

Japan must be rough. Sounds kinda terrible ngl outside all the cool inventions.

@@pokemasterx4244 Oh don't get me wrong. I still prefer life here over almost anywhere else in the world. I might worry about what people think of me sometimes because I stand out and draw attention but here at least people keep their opinions to themselves for the most part and leave me to live my life in peace.

@@pokemasterx4244 Manners applies to all. It's already generally a lot quieter

How is life in Okinawa? Is it expensive to travel there? I love Okinawa music!

Yeah I feel like they forget that if you're different from the locals you're going to act different. As a white American if I went to France I wouldn't want to seem different from French people, same if I went to China or Kenya or anywhere.

Just out of curiosity did you experience a lot of racism and prejudice? I also went to an all black middle school and high school and experienced a lot of that. (Im egyptian). Also, I experienced a lot of amazing black people who are good friends of mine to this day.

@@loverofhumanityI got called white girl a lot but I had a very mixed group of friends

My school was the same. Every group was sorted by ethnicity and levels of "coolness". I introduced a new girl to my friends, she was Vietnamese, and most of the group was welcoming. Only one person was like "but she's Asian she can't sit with our group."

We black people are JUST as racist as everyone else . Avenue Q said it right “everyone’s a little bit racist”

Same. Also when you'd be the only white kid in a group of 4 or 5 or more, dumb ways whites act or are or whatever was almost certain to come up as a topic.

Same, he good dude

Same here

I bet the s-e-x is good

Lol same, haven’t been around many Asians until I got to college and I love being around them

My friend in jobcore was Asian, an one of my best squad mates in the army was Asian. Wierd.

@don't care Because it's relatable

Fr it's annoying. Them mfs just can't say "sorry".😂😂

She is a piece of crap and a crybaby lol

Lol

Haha you ever think they came up with that term to lowkey diss black people while pretending to be "racially sensitive"? If they did they all fell for it hook line and sinker😂😂

agreed. it looks too much like PoS

@@abbiereynolds8016 man saying things like that makes you sound as dumb as them

America seems like a mixture

@@antony6913 ..the same question can apply socially and professionally on a global level

@ebony b How do you figure that it’s based off of white society’s standards? This professional environment exists in non-white countries as well; like Japan for example. Though they’re more extreme over there.

@@madmoonrabbit corporate culture is 100% not "white culture" corporate culture is "anything to not get sued and still make a profit" culture. thats it. Thats why you see these corporations waving pride flags and whatnot, they dont give a single shit about any social issue, just their bottom line.

@@deanblaze2000 Did you see that list going around, about white traits.....things like being on time, valuing work ethic......it was insane. We all have to remember that while it’s natural to some degree to be more comfortable around people who share a category with you (race, religion, gender, area your from, job you do, etc.....) that so much of this crap is a divide and conquer strategy.

Not Africans. They said black people. Know the vernacular not the definition

@@FuckTard-dd1ee uhm Africans are black too ...

We’re more than skin color. Stop reducing people’s culture and race to just that and then we can talk about solutions.

Well said.

@@officialwrldofzey 👌🏽This right here

When the dominant population stops looking at people for their race then maybe we can move on, but clearly that hasn’t happened.

We'll stop _SEEING_ color when people stop _IDENTIFYING_ themselves with particular ethnicities and all the associated negative traits.

I disagree with you. I feel that people say things won't change because we watch history repeat itself in different ways. We see it all the time and in our day-to-day lives. It's like humanity never learns from history to the extent it's supposed to. This causes people to develop a pessimistic outlook on humanity's future.

People say things won’t change because they generally don’t change much in your lifetime, Change is slow and long and destabilising sometimes so people tune it out

you don't want another rush hour movie, hollywood will fuck it up

I know man. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

Haha word

Yeah I promise if one brought the other too their parent they would be like: 😀😑

i just think its any culture that looks down on tanned/brown skin. When you dont look the way they want to promote they will discredit and bring you down in anyway.

Yeah it’s the first generation immigrants. Thru her personality, experiences, and my discussions with her, my mom rarely has any racial stereotypes on other minorities. She generalizes people a lot less now but I can remember it like yesterday when her and my aunts was talking mad shit on blacks and hispanics when I was younger. Don’t even get me started on my grandparents. In my grandparents’ defense tho both sides lived in the ghetto so not the best environment. People always shooting up the block.

Don't be stupid. What about the other countries? Chinese are the most racist set of people on this planet followed by the Indians and then the Latinos

what you said makes no sense, you cant love a group of people. You like your friends because they are your friends not because they are asian. That also doesn't make you love all asian people by default, a lot of people say this and they don't realize how weird it is. Don't generalize hate but also don't be so fake virtious and say you love an entire swat of people you do not know personally.

I'm Eastern European and grew up in Canada. Most of my friends are Nigerian, Jamaican and Asian. I also identify more with my friends than with white Canadians who are not immigrants.

There are actually many whites who share those same values. The Italians in particular view family on the same level as Hispanic people.

@stillness God Take God out of your username if you can’t recognize what racism is

Yeah I'm Asian and I've gotten along with Africans better than Black Americans growing up.

What

I think we should notice it but when we stop Judging someone based off it We will be free

@@joshmoore850 this is the correct response, the first one just sound tone deaf

It'd be too easy to apply that, and sound like a disconnected baffoon. It makes more sense to be aware of difference in pigment, acknowledge the negative connotations, and discard them in favor of letting this person, be a person.

I live by this - I don't care about ppls race just thier cognative ability (thier ability to think for themselves and challenge things like the younger generation is suppose to do) not race - surprisingly I haven't found any person from my race that I want to be friends with (but we are a small minority and I'm not that social so that's probably why)

We bout to always he shackled mke nang

True, but the instinct itself isn’t enough, and it isn’t what should be solely sought. To be merely tolerated by those around you isn’t enough; on a personal level you have to inspire them or teach them or connect to their inherent values as a human being. Sure adopting some kind of aesthetic or demeanor can help someone get in the door, but it’s not enough to get true acceptance and recognition as an equal.

i think they were rather tryna make a distinction between wanting to be accepted by ur own community (which is completely norm, as u say) and by another community. i think its understandable how someone could feel offended if an individual within their community wanted to be accepted by a community other then their own, as if to say that their own community isnt enough, as if theyre tryna say tht theyre "ashamed" to be part of their community et tous, yk?

@@panda8026 it all comes down to instinct. We only survived in numbers, being cast out was a death sentence. These behaviours are still ingrained in us and always will be. Of course human connection is very broad, but ultimately it boils down to not being the outcast.

@Jamilah Toenailkilla all humans can trace their ancestory to Africa though. Just look at that

@Jamilah Toenailkilla besides native americans and asians im pretty sure.

@Jamilah Toenailkilla Bs lol

@Jamilah Toenailkilla that native americans are genetically more similar to asians than asians are to africans due to the amount of time they split off ago

@Jamilah Toenailkilla you want to be black bro asians is the most far race to blacks

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.
