I have a legitimate answer. Race based quotas for work and school. Racism is treating people based on there race. Although I doubt that is what those people where referring to.

The left doesn’t want anyone to have thoughts of blacks having a bad reputation even though they often do. Not always, but often or sometimes. The truth is most people disregard their bad reputation treating blacks the same as they do anyone else. However … some times when “some people” interact with blacks the thoughts of it surfaces and people’s discernment (knowledge based discrimination) is exercised.

He said, “You’re lucky kid”. Maybe he was racist- but he was right.

Even though it's wrong, there could be a personal reason for someone to act like some kind of racist person.

It was baffling for me. I was literally so freaking confused. They would tell me I knew things I'd never even heard. And then in my mostly black high school high school the black kids were absolutely vile towards the white kids. I was badly bullied for being white.

@@tipsyt1909 15 years for an eighth of weed? 🤣Wow u are clueless.

To give the guy a break, I think what the student was looking for here is something like the incarceration rate, which disfavours black people particularly. i.e. 1 in 106 white men are incarcerated, while it's 1 in 15 of black men. Another example: The median net worth of black families is less than 15% of white families. When people say 'systemic' I believe this is what they are talking about. A system which consistenly (dis)favours certain certain racial groups. Now, imo it would be better to move past sayings like 'america is racist' and simply work on ways to make life better for everyone, regardless of race, i.e. focusing on wealth disparity broadly speaking.

Yeah, he actually does a great job. Having never heard of the guy, I assumed this was going to be a "woke student gets pwned" type of video, "change my view" etc. But he really didn't seem to have that agenda; it was to ask questions to get the kids to explain THEIR views, which is cool. Now in my view, that's giving them enough rope to hang themselves - but I don't think that's his intention here. It's just to have the conversation, which is really really positive to see. And he's good at doing it; drawing them out but bringing it back to a grounded place where things can be explained in a fundamental way (if they can be!). Anyway, it's cool that he was your teacher.

i can thoroughly recommend anything to do with SE, on any subject it is fascinating to see what and how people believe.

This is because students are being taught what to think, not how to think for themselves. Indoctrination as opposed to critical thinking.

What you don't get is how the logic follows, you just get bad conclusions based on faulty premises based on non-emperical research methods like "auto ethnography" which is basically a diary entry which is treated like serious research.

The male student wanted Peter to change the claim from “America” to “Americans” as if that would clarify his vague assertions. If anything, it would have made it worse. “America” is more broad-based, which is better for his word salad definitions of “systemic”. “Americans” is more specific, and he’d have to explain how all races that exist under the “Americans” umbrella, including black, hispanic, asian, etc. are all racist under his assertion. He’d likely have to insist that Peter change the board again from “Americans” to “White Americans” in order to move the goalposts closer to what he really believes.

You are correct this does occur but as they say you can't be racist against white people. Seriously, everyone has the potential to be racist. My personal belief is America is not separated by race so much as it is by being poor or rich. I know many rich black people that if they were to be pulled over by the cops they wouldn't get in trouble but yet a poor white person would. You could claim that sports are racist as many blacks make better athletes due to their natural physical makeup. There have been studies regarding blacks and their muscle fibers vs. whites. We are all human and all have advantages and disadvantages to others due to our genes given to us by God. I served in the military and traveled the world. I can assure you racism exists around the world. You will never stamp it out. The one thing we can do as humans is to start learning to love one another and start looking at the character of the person before you look at the skin/outward appearance. This is very hard to do and overcome because your visual is always your first impression of someone.

Exactly! Against white ppl!! You are absolutely correct!

I'm not sure whether it's a case of not being able to substantiate / define it, or a case of specifically wanting to avoid having a concrete definition nailed down. If there's a concrete definition for something, proving (or, disproving) its existence becomes possible. If no such concrete definition exists, you can keep equivocating until your interlocutor gives up and tries to get a sensible answer out of someone else.

Postmodernist mentality. Keep the definition broad (or keep it fluid and changeable) and sell your subjective reality as objective truth

He doesn't know what he's talking about. It's not really a fair video as Boghossian could've interviewed people who know the subject. Saying that, a truly woke person wouldn't engage in the interview.

I wouldn’t disagree with this statement, but there’s many ideological cages we reside in. For instance, if I told you that no, American is no longer racist (using the Trotskyist term) and this is directly why America is no longer a viable society. America has greatly declined since there were deliberate laws set in place by the founding fathers and the 13 colonies to prevent where America is today. You would probably label me and any other person who shares this outlook using the Trotskyist term, Racist. Who’s really indoctrinated?

They've been told that they have to think and act this way in order to stay in the "safe" lane, plus call out anyone who isn't riding in that lane, so it's become more about routine than situational awareness and presence. I think the shifting definition/misuse of "racism" to fit whatever set of circumstances IS a big part of the problem. It's not doing anyone any favors.

@@aperson2943 I think you are right. Usually these people also don't do anything to really help minorities.

Or examples from medicine: doctors were underestimating blood loss in black women, for example, compared to white women. These aren't deliberate racism, but just ingrained assumptions we need to work out.

these people aren't prepared to answer his questions. but it doesn't mean they are wrong. s systemic racism absolutely is a problem in america.

@itp5x5 so your position is that because these two people couldn't prove systemic racism, it means that systemic racism doesn't exist? how silly is that? You use of police killings statistics shows me that you have no idea how statistics works, and I would assume that you've never taken a statistics course in your life.

It is so great!

@@Kevinschart Bro do you know what systemic means? If this was actually systemic it would have been as obvious as china's oppression on their people, and theres no way we would get away with that. There is nothing about our system that targets ONE race and gives the rest an advantage. Does racism exist? Yes, its prevalent. In no way is it systemic.

@@Kevinschart so then are you able to explain your stance by answering his questions? I would genuinely appreciate understanding the basis for your belief on America being systemically racist.

It is repeating a cultural trope and then when asked to define it, he is at a loss for words. This can only in a world where we have comfortably lost a grip on objective truth.

We're humans, humans are in the system and therefore it's systemic. This line alone is just nonsense to me and completely makes the word systemic worthless.

@@brba8245 Yes. Also known as, the triumph of idiot culture.

A textbook example of emotional programming...they have had this lie repeated to them ad nauseam in school, in media, by their peers, possibly by their family, and by others similarly programmed or by those who stand to benefit from this claim (aka race hustlers.) The emotional certainty comes first and its presence excuses the need for facts in most peoples' minds. I was completely programmed to find Fox News emotionally repugnant; to a lesser extent, I was also molded to find the Republican Party repugnant, and basically anything and everything Right Wing. I didn't really overcome this until I moved abroad and was in my early to mid 30s; the election of 2016 and the 2 years leading up to it were watershed moments for me as I simply couldn't find any evidence of Pres. Trump being anything like the ultra-racist he was claimed to be; his dramatic shift in public stature as well was baffling, going from somebody that black American culture routinely mentioned in music, looked up to, gave awards to...to worst than Hitler? The pattern of calling EVERY Republican candidate worse than Hitler was laid bare. All the nonsense started unravelling very quickly after that. But these sheltered children with their closed, know-it-all mindsets and their smug moral complacency...I wonder if they will ever have moments of clarity to recognize the depths of their own biases and the staggering extent to which they have been emotionally manipulated. I wonder if anything will ever make them understand the fact that they are essentially ideological robots, or puppets, maybe, for the Left.

@Outstanding Results Coaching Doing so would require the student to examine the validity of his beliefs and consider the likelihood (however traumatizing) that one or more of his propagandist professors might be wrong. Thank you for your response.

Of course it’s nonsense. I’m sure her black friend told her it. In the town where I work as a cop I hear all the time how us cops beat black kids, insult and follow them. In 27 years it hasn’t happened once that I’ve seen. People know if they lie and say they are victim they get privileges. Unfortunately young woman have weak bullshit detectors

She is full of shit.

Ehh her friend could have told her

"they told her because she is black", that's probably the biggest tell right there, an actual racist doesn't just say "hey I'm doing this because you're black!". That's just stupid, it's 2022 .

I believe that’s how she remembers it.

If you multiply that case among similar institutions then yes it would be categorized as systematic discrimination

For real. Most of these folks crying about systemic racism have never left America to realize that America is vastly less racist than MOST of the world 😂

@@reptilian_overlord if the system is racist it's sucks at it.

The shoplifting one? No shot that story is true. 🤣🤣🤣

@@reptilian_overlord no it wouldn't. It would only be systemic / systematic, if there's a sytem in place, which means that people are encouraged to be racist by their employers, bosses etc. or even only installed in their institution if they are in fact racist. "Americans are racist" is what you mean to say, but the statement is "America is systemic racist" which means it's not about the individual person but it's an a priori racist system, even if it's not yet filled with people.

Lmao exactly. “My friend was called spic by someone once or twice therefore America is racist”. These people have zero brain cells.

That story didn't sound remotely legit.

Well, they've have been told their entire lives that, for instance, black Americans are victims, and that it's racist to point out certain facts about who commits crimes in what proportions, and the flow of interracial crime (ie, black to white, white to black, etc.)...hell, that it's racist to even know these facts and silently acknowledge that there is something wrong with black American culture, that's it's a new, post-60s thing, and of course, they cannot believe it could possibly be the policies of more Left-leaning elected officials that have led to this cultural rot and the attendant crime and poverty.

Whether or not there is systemic racism, it's pretty shortsighted of you to just dismiss any inequality or racism in the country as "people making bad choices".

@@t-yu those are two logical fallacies you mentioned. There is statistical evidence to back up claims that people are blaming their "inequalities" on their own failures and bad choices. It comes down to a certain race too. Asian Americans, Latino Americans, don't have this issue. You can figure it out

It’s also easier to claim the “system” is rigged against oneself than to hold oneself accountable for a lack of achievement or bad choices. The victim mentality is a self fulfilling prophecy.

This. No one wants to take personal accountability.
