These cultures need to fix themselves. People outside these cultures don't have the power to fix these cultures.

If they want to talk about racism and oppression, then the black community needs to look inward. I’ve hardly seen any white peoples being racist towards black people, but frequently would see black people being racist. If another black person doesn’t adopt Ebonics, gets good grades and studies, doesn’t dress professionally,and tries to succeed, others in the black community will outcast them, call them names and say they are acting white, meant as an insult. They actively try to oppress that person and make them conform to what popular black culture appears to be.

I'm really starting to respect this young man's opinion. Great work Jojo

I have found that the thing that most holds people back is a near constant focus on the past and/or any perceived offense. The people that cannot move past those things very very rarely succeed in anything. They can however trash their own mental health and cause themselves to be quite unhappy. ( see unhinged liberal rants)

Unfortunately, people have stopped taking responsible for their own actions. It is always someone else's fault. Claiming racism is an easy way to blame someone else.

It's easy to blame others for your own problems. Too many people want to cry victim rather than take responsibility and fix themselves. For most people, they are their own worst enemy.

So cute when they are reading from their notes. But what's the black community, what makes it a community, and how can people join it? I know for sure there is no such thing as "white community."

So basically he is asking that cultures that aren't "successful" shouldn't have to take responsibility for that.

Is this a Listening conversation, or you want me to Fix something conversation. Pure and concise.

I'm a white 59 years old and I grew up very poor. Many Many times we had nothing but potatoes to eat for days at a time. I have stories 😅

I am white, we grew up dirt poor, my parents both had to work to get food on the table. My mother made our clothes because it was expensive to buy, I had hardly any new clothes, only around x-mas. I went through school, started my own gardening business, got zero help, paid it all myself. Black kid from rich parents wanted to start a computer company, he got a lot of help and support, even though he had 5 people personal…. Make it make sense

But if I can convince you that you are a victim, I can exploit you, and use your ire to increase my power and influence. Unfortunately, too many people think not about how they can help. but how they can be helped.

Only you can keep you down. It’s important that we help each other . United we stand

Every time I hear the words "generational wealth" I laugh. Unless you are a Rockefeller or similar family...there is hardly any wealth being passed down to anyone. But I have "generational values" passed down through my family...the value of hard work...the value of honesty...the value of kindness...the value of truth. ***Love your posts...

when all else fails, always blame racism.

You're a smart young man sir. I enjoy listening to your videos, I normally don't watch anyone's videos 100% but I've started listening to yours. Wish more people of all ages would see what you see in life

I certainly get no economic benefit considering I was raised in foster care, but sure I'm suddenly priveleged I guess.

When you go there with a paper to help you remember your opinions lol

We as a nation must stop considering who we are based upon race. The color of our should have NOTHING to do with who we are as people. I watch you not because you are black. I watch you because you are young, educated, articulate and I’m interested in how our youth think. I long for the day when we no longer care about the melanin in our skin, but care only about our values.

"Keep on, keeping on." Thank you.

In a free society, you also have freedom from excuses. Sad that so many don't know this.

Nice job on this Jojo.

i have been a hiring manager for almost 30 years. At every company I had been at when out of their way to recruit minorities, especially black folks. The main thing keeping us from hiring as many minorities as possible was the lack of minority applicants. At one company which may be the largest company in my city with a globally known brand name, went to the local HBCU to set up an internship program which worked well and we hired many of those interns after they graduated. My only issue was why the HBCU did not go to companies like mine to promote their students and encouraging us to set up an internship program. very odd.

The math!!! Good luck young man. I hope you get all the education you can stand. Keep on keeping on man.

Love your videos man. Keep up the good work!

Here's the problem: why didn't their home 'cultures' produce peace and prosperity for the hundreds and thousands of years before they interacted with others, or without the people they blame being a significant part of their home country's culture since.

I was born in 1988, For the most part, your environment dictates who you become. I was forced to leave my environment and in doing so I met people that enlightened me. I joined the military and became financially stable. Received a college degree and retired. If I had never been forced out of my environment, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish these things.

I win agree with your first point. My siblings and I grew up in the countryside in a mobile home because my dad worked for the department of the navy and my mom was a civilian employee for the Florida Army National Guard. Us kids got our first jobs at 15 so that we could afford brand name clothing and save for our own first cars…each of us spent less than $1,000 for those cars in the early 90s. We each paid for our own college education, my brother has a masters, my sister has a bachelor’s and I am a couple classes short of my associates. My brother makes a comfortable six figures, my sister makes a little less than six figures, and I made the most money and have retired at 45(without a degree). My hard work has hindered my romantic success, but I am still young enough and have the financial attributes to comfortably provide. We are genuinely each responsible for our own success, and it’s our individual focuses that guide that.

Keep up the Good Work. Channel is Refreshing and Real.

I have five siblings. We each got $12,000 from the sale of my parent’s home. I wouldn’t say that’s wealth.

Right on right on 👊

I was 5 out of 7 kids, 5 different baby daddies all 7 of us lived in a Catholic orphanage eventually we were separated 4 went to live with our mother's Mom 2 of us went to a well known home for boys and the last one eent to live with our Mother's Sister from their I attended 5 different grade schools through out the next few years we lived with our Mother 2 years later back to my Grandmother to a one parent foster home and before I graduated from H.S. I ended up at a State run home for children. I'm going to stop now ? Is it possible to tell you I'm black without telling you I'm black ? And who do I blame for my childhood...no one do busy raising my children because eventually they both will be College grads one a P.H.D. the other a teacher nope no one to blame I was too busy with life P.S. Going to be celebrating my 50th wedding anniversary. Goodbye😊

Memorize your thoughts. I would have been failed out of college for not doing so. These young adults just regurgitate cut and paste.

Ben is right

Did not know you are 2E man! Props to you. I hate boolean to its boring, rotten core 🤬☠️🔥👹

Oh shit that’s Ben?!?!

Even if the claims are true that the plight of black Americans is due to historical racism, dwelling on it is toxic and self defeating. Other racial and ethnic groups have learned this lesson.

It's amusing to me that people of certain ethnic backgrounds feel compelled to qualify their point by saying they've experienced "some racism". Frankly I'd be more surprised if an individual claimed that they hadn't ever experienced it, being as almost EVERYONE experiences SOME racism or racial biases -- unless they're just completely sheltered and aren't in the public around people. It's certainly not something that is in ANY way exclusive to 'minorities', therefore it's a bit pointless and irrelevant for someone to even mention unless they're referencing a serious incident that happened. Claiming you've experienced "some racism" is akin to pointing out that you've been cut off in traffic before or had another driver flip you off... It's an unfortunate, albeit extremely common, reality when you encounter or interact with the mass public on a daily basis. There are a lot of ignorant and angry people out there in the world -- thus racism and prejudices of all kinds will ALWAYS exist. You're not special... This victimhood complex that so many on the Left seem to operate in, constantly crying about their faux 'oppression', is so exceedingly tiresome. If anything, this cultural Marxist ideology being pushed is only exacerbating the issue with this perpetual focus on race and all of the anti-white rhetoric coming from these delusional political zealots.

I hope you get your Ph.D.

Im half black half asian. I don't even think about race until white Liberals bring it up, and then i just laugh. It's Ancient History, we all equal in this modern era.

look up David Barton

Racism has nothing to do with people like PINK or any of those rachet rappers, nor does it have anything to do with men not acting like honorable men. It seems to me lack of personal responsibility is the issue with most cultures that are hurting themselves.

!!

So over hyphenated Americans.

If you want to look at why one culture is successful and another is not, then we need to look at polygamy. Polygamy was not adopted in the West, and it was adopted just about everywhere else. Polygamy makes succession more difficult for rulers. Two examples of this were Askia Muhammad of the Songhai Empire and Suleiman the Magnificent. Askia Muhammad had about a hundred wives. His subordinates all wanted an alliance with their king, so they each sent him one of their daughters, and he married all of them. As a result, when he died, Askia had hundreds of sons, grandsons, and cousins who all fought for the throne, and the resulting succession war tore his kingdom apart. The same thing happened with Suleiman, except the Ottoman Empire managed to survive the resulting succession crisis. The point is cultural practices can have a real impact on a given society, and societies that have embraced polygamy have shot themselves in the foot. Similarly, when we look at success in modern economies, there is one factor that often determines whether or not the country is competitive economically. Whether or not women are integrated into the workforce. Societies and cultures that forbid women from working or deny them from engaging in economic opportunities tend to do worse economically than cultures that give women the opportunity to join the workforce. It makes sense, right. If 50 percent of the population of a country is women and they aren't allowed to work and the country next to them employs women then the country that employs women is going to experience a level of prosperity that the other one will never experience.

you are one of the ones who have grabbed the fruit in front of you and have not been stopped, proof is in the pudding The most well known youtuber in England right now is ksi a black man who has had international success and hasn't hit any figurative glass ceiling

wtf is KZfaq doing showing me this garbage in my notifications when I’m not even subscribed to you..

generational wealth? do you know ANYONE with a trust fund? come on! So that's the only arguement here? its not the shifty fathers that can't even work for ONE generation for their family, selfish
