I asked a black guy if systemic racism exists and he said no, therefore it doesn't.

What the heck is that guy doing at a University? He has zero academic credibility.

There's something hilarious about seeing Rubin surrounded by books

How can you argue against the existence of systemic racism by citing a classic example of systemic racism?

Dave Rubin: identity publics is wrong! Dave Rubin: I know a Conservative who is *Black.*

Bunch of rich white kids nodding along to a rich white guy saying structural racism doesn't exist. Imagine my shock!

Goes from "there is no systemic racism" to "the system favors certain races" in reference to subsidy 🤦

I thought Oxford was a bastion of uncompromising intellectual integrity. Who's next on the guest list? Dr. Phil.

Funny how Rubin felt the need to point out that Larry Elder "happens to be black" to qualify his argument as valid but then dismisses the vast majority of other thinkers "that happen to be black" who totally disagree with Elder and present the opposing argument as using "identity politics". The Rules of logic is not strong with Rubin!

So they’ll let anyone in Oxford now.

I am the humble recipient of one of those units that Ruben speaks of and I am so glad that my 55 hour work week doesn’t allow me the time to run into too many likeminded folks. I am uncomfortable enough when I have the audacity to use the buildings gym 😓

How does Rubin's sister know which people are living in rent subsidized apartments? Did they all tell her? Do they wear a special patch on their clothing?

Thus, Oxford's reputation has decreased a little more in my eyes...

like, how stupid would you have to be to think Rubin is smart?

Dave Rubin is pure cringe. He doesn't understand any of the things he talks about.

Rubin could make the argument that black ppl are generally poorer than whites therefore live in poor neighborhoods. Those neighborhoods are policed way more due to crime levels in general. From that point, it is socioeconomic. But if u take that argument a step forward and ask why black ppl are in poorer neighborhoods then you will immediately find out how generational wealth was held from black ppl via exclusion from land grants, low interest rates loans etc

Dave Rubin scored a invite at Oxford ? What were they thinking.

Rubin really thinks he is an intellectual

Almost 2 years on and my brain is STILL in recovery mode from taking in all these high level, important ideas

Rubin's insincerity gets on my nerves.

Jamie telling Sam Seder that racism and capitalism are both intertwined is why I am watching the Majority Report

Im a simple man. I see Dave Rubins name on a majority report video, I click.

After hearing Mr. Rubins eloquent reply to this question, I would like to ask him another that is more on par with his intellectual acuity. Mr. Rubin what sound does the doggy make?

The guy is a sure duffer. It was a painful logic to follow. Thanks Sam, you did one hell of a job here.

People like Dave Rubin always bring up Detroit and Chicago but conveniently fail to mention cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland.

Again, watching this from Europe, living in a highly regulated welfare state (and paying the corresponding taxes and contributions), I simply do not understand the mindset of American libertarians/conservatives. How does kicking people out of basic social rights help with social cohesion? And why is it so difficult to recognise the historical burdens of current society (Americans seem to have much less problems with that concerning European countries...)? How does denying basic support in social crises like unemployment or sickness contribute to individual freedom? I live a very comfortable and secure life in the most livable city of the world (named that for seven years in a row), where the authorities actively fund social housing with stabilized rents all over town, which has guaranteed that no social ghettos could develop in the last 70 years. We have low crime rates (despite the so called refugee crisis - do not believe everything the American media are trying to sell you about the current results, my friends and I are still out and about all over town at night without being constantly assaulted or robbed), general well-being at a high level, overall happiness rising, a well running economy, dropping unemployment rates - all of which countermands the postulates of libertarians. Social democracy really can work if you do not close your mind to evidence and instead go for ideology...

"we can fix the racially disproportionate incarceration rates if we just free-market that shit." im literally perished from that ironclad logic

I think Sam misread the flaw in Dave Rubin's thinking toward the end there. Firstly he says systemic racism doesn't exist, he incorrectly defines it, then continues to give examples of _systemic racism._ Then towards the end, when he is giving his "anticdotal" account, he says the rent in his sister's apartment building is kept low for 50% of the apartments to ensure that they are available to people of "certain ethnicities" (i.e. non-Caucasians). But he goes on to debunk himself when he says you lose the incentive when your income goes up! By that logic, your ethnicity changes to Caucasian when you earn more because the incentive, according to him, is ethnicity not income level! Either that or he doesn't understand what he is talking about.

I nearly spit out my drink when he said systemic racism doesn't exist.

Dave Rubin can't understand that it's better to be rich even if the government helps poor people.

Did anybody in that room get up and say "wtf?!"

How in the world does this guy keep getting people to listen to him in such "established settings"? The can't hear that he's a scam artist

Rent controlled is not for just certain ethnicities it's for people native to the area, so people don't get forced out of that area unfairly.... he is a clown

"I'm just interested in ideas but I'll reject with prejudice the ones I don't feel good about"

"They keep the rents low for minorities" Since... what year???

“There is no systemic racism. The justice system is racist but that is just because the economic system is racist.” Brilliant argument.

Very simply systematic/institutional racism is a system of which punished and rewards individuals based on race. All laws may be equal, but how those laws are applied is the issue.

TL;DR : Dave Rubin doesn't know what the word "systemic" means.

"Anticdotal..." You know I think that's all I need to hear.

Of course a person who hasn't been faced with systemic racism thinks that there is no systemic racism.. this truly show a serious amount of white privilege.. oh and a person of color can show amounts of white privilege also

dave misdefines words. a play of semantics.

my I.Q. just gave me an evil look and walked off in disgust. i just can't. #ThisFuckingGuy

Dave Rubin "There's no such thing as systemic racism in America" 'let me just follow that statement up with 2 examples of systemic racism that I do believe exist but don't seem to understand that they are systemic racism'

You should only be allowed to come speak at a college if you can get into it LOL

The rent is too damn high because the rent is too damn low! That's some next-level stupid shit. 15:00

One of the best takedowns I've ever heard. Great job Sam.

I can point to about 70 libraries of books and peer reviewed research proving Rubin wrong here

Dave Rubin is living proof that we do not live in a meritocracy.

Dave Rubin Oh. wait, I gave a punch line. There is no joke.

This is a bit of a low blow, but Jesus Christ those shoes clash with that suit SO badly.

Rubin: There is no systematic racism. Also Rubin: Here’s a list of things that are totally NOT or do not reflect systemic racism (but actually are and do).

Wonder why Dave Rubin has never invited Dr. Gerald Horne to do an interview with him... Oh, nevermind, I know why now. Lol

“Privileged shill falls upward.” I’m shocked, shocked, I tell ya!

Hey Rubin... So Anti -semitism isn't ' a thing'? You are a Jew right? So tell us Dave, we are all ears. Let me guess.. ' Oh well, that doesn't count! Of course there is systemic anti-semitism'.

As someone who lives about 5 minutes away, I'm rather insulted by the statement that Ferguson is controlled by Democrats and has been for 20 years. Like Rubin's whole argument here, that's false to the point of being absolutely ridiculous.

19:52 rebuttal to the 'if we help poor people they will just want to stay poor' argument.

Dave was here saying that racism should be called out and stopped. But when people try to do that, he attacks them for trying to stop the racist.

Dave Rubin... The same guy that when asked by David Pakman, "what would be your idea of a single-payer health care system?" Rubin replied with the definition of the individual mandate system. Why am I not surprised?

" ... (looking around the studio, stuttering) ... his inability even to maintain his own internal logic over the course of a sentence and a half is ... (eyebrows go up, mouth open, about to say something) ... almost artistic" God, why do I love MR so much? This has to be a favorite quote right there.

The whole point of talking about racism as systematic, is that the laws don't need to explicitly mention race to have outcomes based on race. Dave's misunderstanding is so ass backwards he thinks it means the literal opposite of what it does.

20:14 "Why doesn't his sister just make less money?" LOL

I have dreams sometimes where I hear sam seder say "PAUSE IT! NOW WAIT A SECOND"

What is Dave Rubin doing a Q&A at Oxford? Proof that the intelligence is going to hell

How to argue like Rubin: 1.) Make a claim 2.) Make an argument for the opposite claim

Thanks for the common sense rebuttal to this pure absolute clown sam.

Oh my goodness. I never need to hear Rubin ever again!

"Jordan Petersons constructs are basically Libertarian" I've never got this impression in the slightest, could someone expand?

This is just an unfair critique. Some people are just limited and pathologically self absorbed. How can we really expect Dave to understand intellectually challenging concepts such as irony.

I never get tired of good Rubin bashing

He seems to have a kind of simplistic view of the role of governance and the how's and why's of it. He thinks moving to a different state is a great solution, as if a million people can just disagree with Massachusetts laws and move to Vermont. There aren't enough jobs, housing, infrastructure, etc, to supplement that. It would crash the economies of both areas. The reality is that we have to deal with the problems and have as much oversight add possible without being overbearing. Allow the free market to work and respect the regulations that have been put in place as reactions to exploitative behaviors within the market. I wonder what his ideas are on money in politics because I think it's completely antithetical to a democratic system and we have ability with our advancements in communications to have fair representation in elections without having monies interests buying up all the air time. It leads to a kind of frenzied piranha atmosphere in election seasons and almost completely diminished the power of each vote and by extension us as voters become nearly powerless compared to those who direct money into politics.

Just to clarify what Rave Dubin was saying regarding black incarceration.. he makes the statement that blacks stay in jail LONGER for minor offenses and that you can link this to social economic variables, meaning they can’t make bail. Which is even more of a reason to end cash bail.

Firstly I can't believe that Dave was invited to the Oxford union. Clearly he was, I can't believe even more that 97 per cent of those kids didn't laugh their asses off at his transparent bullshit for the next 2 weeks.

War on drugs, instantly disproven.

And i thought Trump couldn't speak english...

How do the students at Oxford see Dave as a credible voice? Considering his level of intellect, it is not an institution I would’ve thought would’ve had any interest in providing him with a platform. Solid points Maj Rep!

They just despise poor people. They hate them. They want them out. Outside the walls, please. They should clean the sewage and keep the windmills intact but please don't come close and don't ask for a decent life next to us. We're rich. We want other rich people around us. We want to enjoy our nice little spaces amongst each other. Isn't it great, Stuart. You are rich and I am rich and we're getting along so fine and isn't it a lovely day. The sun is out, we're sitting here comfortably surrounded by people that look like us and who carry enough money in their wallets to give us even more comforting feelings of security that we're gonna be all fine and rich and well dressed together. Oh, how swell. Imagine if they we're browner and had less money. Sitting here and sipping the same coffee, Stuart. I don't know about you, but I'd feel unsafe. They would start threatening us probably. Asking for some change. I mean, who knows. Can you bring me a new drink, please. And don't expect a tip. Work harder. But do it outside of my peripheral view. Ew, you poor swine.

This clown doesn't know the different between de jure and de facto. Even your basic first semester undergraduate knows that. FFS.

Systemic =/= formal

Rubin at Oxford feels as wrong as an astronaut at the bottom of the ocean

5:37 beautiful definition of systemic racism.

Structural racism is a certainly a thing, but to be honest, when I meet American students who claim that racism is only about "systems and power, not about personal acts or beliefs" it blows my mind - where did American's make up this bizarre definition? Or worse, when they claim things like "I can't be racist because I'm black". Please, my lovely Americans, you sound ridiculous when you say these things abroad.

MAJORITY REPORT PLEEEEEEASE FOR THA LOVE OF SKY WIZARD, ....Make A VIDEO on PRAGER U!!! I KEEP GETTIN THEIR ADS ON YOURRR VIDS :'(!!!!

7:00 as he tells this, he seemingly realizes he is describing "institutional racism" perfectly...

Denies systemic racism, *proceeds to define systemic racism as part of his argument against its existence.*

The rubster strikes again!!!

I love watching Dave Rubin fail at life. I imagine that's why Sam Seder and Secular Talk are covering him so much recently

When he says ‘he beat me over the head with facts....’ what he really is saying is that he said things that I was neither intellectually capable of refuting nor did I care to research after the fact.

At first I thought that conservatives just weren't aware of their ignorance of concepts such as "systemic racism." But after seeing the same dynamic play out time and again, there's no doubt that seasoned propagators just want to get "talking points" out to their conservative audiences. This works, as do most conservative debates, not by being truthful but by portraying unyielding confidence and ignoring facts and what anyone says.

Oxford uni is in Oxford. Duh! NOT London.

Dave Boobin

Conservative logic always boils down to this: if you try to do anything good, bad things will happen somehow. So just stop doing good things and purely act in your own self interest and good things will happen... Somehow.

Race, ethnic group, income level, and more. Some people have to deal with multiple issues. The whole system needs to be overturned.

Great refutation of Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell here guys you really took them down.........................oh wait. There isn't one.

"Oxford University which I believe is in London, is that right?" oh lol, silly Americans. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which I believe is in New York, is that right?

I googled "Black Oxford Students" and the first result is an article by a white girl called "The real reason Oxbridge accepts so few black students". She goes on to say "The roots of the lack of diversity at Oxbridge lie not in institutionalised racism - as MP David Lammy would have us believe - but in the low education standards in deprived areas. " She alludes that racism is over estimated and not part of the admissions process, at all. How can she be the first person in a google search on this subject?

Wow, the girl on the left when the dude is asking the question. Meow.

To be fair, "systemic racism" does *sound* to most people like it refers to openly racist laws or written policy. It's a bad wording, at least for common speech. It's not useful to shit on Dave Rubin for being semantically ignorant when he agrees with the actual concept. Clarify the misunderstanding and move on.

I wonder how many times, during this interview, Dave had to stop himself from saying "those people".

The very next question asked to Dave Rubin should have been "Are you being paid to be here and if you are do you feel shame for charging money for absolutely nothing of value?"

I don't think Rubin even merits being spat at... much less this segment denouncing his disgusting idiocy.
