Yes and the difference with the USA is that we never reckoned with these atrocities. Wilkerson mentioned that Germany thought that the US was too harsh… here is where skin color makes a difference because here in the USA and in North America it becomes easier to strip away the humanity of those who don’t look like you. The caste and diabolical nature of slavery and Jim Crow becomes justifiable through science and through other studies

Exactly.

Except you haven't. Germany has a big problem with fascism, racism, xenophobia (immigration) and is represented in your political parties, like the AfD, CDU, EPP, etc.

@@jaym5938 Absolute nonsense, you've never been to Germany, so more than likely you're talking out of arse. Yes there are pockets of fascism Nazism everywhere, even in Israel. America is one of the most rapidly racist countries on the planet. America has killed more black people than any other country on the planet.

@@jaym5938 every country has a problem with the things you mentioned, even more so in the United States (ironic in a country founded on liberty and personal freedom). The difference, however, and the point you seemed to have missed, is that Germany has made, and continues to work against the things you mentioned. For example, other than Turkey, Germany takes in the most refugees then any other country in the world due in part to their well known comprehensive welfare system. The principle of which is enshrined in the law, committing to protect in addition to their freedom, the natural bases of life of its citizens. They’ve outlawed nazi symbolism and have dedicated countless historical sites as memorials to the victims of WWII. They make a conscious effort to remember and teach every generation about the atrocities they committed, something we in the United States lack. TL;DR except they have.

Wow I get what she's saying, she is brilliant, hopefully the government and Congress are listening, they just might learn something, like that old house and figure out on how to fix it, metaphor for a right solution to the issue in this country..

That's awful. I'm so sorry. Makes me physically ill just imagining what you and your family have been through.

My ancestors have never felt lest than human and I am a direct descendent of slaves. I was born in 1949 in the Deep South and was taught that no one was better than me. They create a bubble around us and by the time we were grown we was able to move forward within society. We were landowners beginning in1866 and were separated for over 50 years from daily interaction with whites, on a Sea Island of SC. Perhaps that is it.

Do "urban planners" revitalize all areas/neighborhoods of underprivileged citizens? Many (most, all?) major cities have various ethnicities that tend to b predominant in certain areas of a given city...ie Little Italy, Chinatown, etc. I think its Boston, Charlestown, is a very old area of Boston, predominantly poor, working class. Most all large cities r divided up, self segregated if u will, w/ poor amongst all ethnicities. Do they revitalize all poor neighborhoods? I know of some instances of building new housing buildings, cleaning an area up, improving/expanding public transportation, improve/update infrastructure, revitalizing the schools in the area, building new parks/green spaces...is this done in all poor neighborhoods? And what about the underprivileged of rural communities? I know feds/state contribute to urban revitalization/improvements for the impoverished, underprivileged, r there ever any efforts to improve the lives of poor rural communities? For example, places like Harlan Co, KY, the poorest county in the country for years, almost everyone is below the poverty line...does the govt, state or fed, ever go in & help those folks revitalize/update their homes, build/provide public housing units, improve/expand public transportation so folks can get to/from work easier, build new schools, parks, improve/update infrastructure, etc?

@@stephanied143 yes although for the rural communities there are often not urban planners (because there isnt the money) but there may be "regional" planners working for a larger area. One, of a few, major goals of these planner should be addressing underprivileged.

The fact you learnt so much about racism during urban planning classes shows how useless your urban planning classes were. We are screwed if people like you actually end up in planning

Can you explain “structural racism”?

Yeah because its exactly what is happening to poor whites in America. Completely force them from being a part of anytime by law. Zero federal help in rural areas as well.

I've learned as a white man who was one of those "everyone's the same, I don't see myself as white but as human" that I was completely and utterly wrong. My ancestors 70 years ago were correct. My ancestors 150 years ago were correct. White people didn't teach me this. The other races taught me this.

I also appreciate the metaphor and like the way she ties it to responsibility for repairing the issue even if you didn't create it. I haven't finished watching the whole video, but the old house idea makes me think about how some groups are never even allowed out of the basement, and some are upstairs denying that there are any rusty pipes because they won't go down to the basement to check. After all, the TV told them the pipes are just fine. I don't think it's easy to change the laws, but it's probably easier than changing that 400 years of societal conditioning.

Great analogy on the old house.

I am on board with the analogy. But I still can’t find the answer here. It’s still so vague. So there are no official racial laws in place now, so step 1 is done. Do we give preferential hiring based on your skin colour and not your competency? I would hate to get a job because of my skin colour

Great comment!

Yeah, I agree, and I'm also Canadian. I was in grade school when the Canadian flag still had the British union jack in the corner. The British Empire was no less presumptive or cruel, they just abolished slavery a little earlier. These same arrogant and dominant attitudes (The Doctrine of Discovery) led to the multitude of problems experienced by indigenous people in Canada and the US as well as the human tragedy that is the story of US slavery. It's all a complex history of suffering and poor decisions based on bad assumptions and outright cruelty. All we can do now is try to clean up the mess. It's sad to see people actively fighting against that.

As an American who always hears how perfect, united, and all around unracist Canada is, I’d really love to hear Canadians talk about the issue. (PS. Also a black woman).

@@deaunnathomas6485 - If I gave you that idea about Canada, I'm sorry. If someone else did, they're wrong. Yes, I'd rather live here than in the US, but Canada is imperfect, diverse in opinion and yes, there are racists. But I think it's getting better. 40+ years ago, when I was in my teens, I remember hearing the words "drunken Indian" more than I want to admit. I personally was brought up by intelligent parents who taught us to respect everyone as a person and not judge their appearance or circumstance. My Grandmother worked as a nurse in the residential school system during the 1920s and 1930s, when the churches were committing atrocities on indigenous people. She was a good-hearted person who also extolled the value of people regardless of what they looked like, so I wonder what she knew about what was going on around her then. She was a smart woman and had to have noticed something. I live in the west, so I haven't had a lot of interaction with black people. Mostly Asian and South Asian and some Native Peoples. I'm rambling, but one point I want to make is that there is now a conversation going on here between governments and indigenous tribal people and their rights, freedoms and what they are due. A conversation by people in charge on both sides who I believe have the best interests of the other side in mind as well as their own. That's what it takes to move these issues along - genuine caring and understanding by all and a commitment to the truth, no matter how ugly it is to look at. Hopefully that will also change biases and racism in our society, though for some, there's really no hope.

Idk man, Canada did worse shit to some of it's people.

@@johnspooner1403 ...Well u just totally dismissed the efforts "to clean up the mess" made by countless British soldiers...not to mention the monumental effort & cost the British Empire put into ending the world slave trade.

Gaslighting and denialism comes in many forms. But historically, this is not new… “Who is my neighbor?”

Yeah black people are separated by last names and can't rise above hard labor. Literally impossible for black people to be successful and rich. Exactly like India.

The Indian caste system is self-hate on autopilot. Indian women were raped by the same Englishmen that were killing and subjugating Indian men. The resulting lightened offspring were taught to behave as Englishmen which means that they'll behave in racist ways towards other Indians. India leads the world in skin lightening products. That fact alone highlights the self hate that is rampant there. Sad reality is that the lightest Indian will NEVER be accepted as white by the white people they aspire to be.

Caste is the correct way to view it in American context. All American racism is an attempt to enforce a social system with a permanent class of unskilled labourers. Race is used as justification but the motive is economic at its core.

The Indian Caste system was implemented by the British Empire. Since the British “founded” most of this country (after stealing it from the original inhabitants), our caste system was inherited from our forefathers.

God, when even people who think ethnic genocide is fine think *you're* going too far....

We have a country, it isnt perfect. Great ideals and hopefully we can pull it together. Part of that requires understanding the past. Were always told taxes this and that started the war. Those taxes were almost all repealed YEARS before the war. 1772, a ruling in the british high court came down saying slavery was too evil for British soil. Lord Mansfield (edited because I keep mixing up the names) was very explicit that he meant the british isles but the growing abolition movement there meant things would surely clash here. Now consider the signees of the declaration. Almost all of their wealth built through slavery.
