Hey White People: Message by #Ferguson Kids

[9erempiree]

I don't know what to say for the first time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQfg52m0-4o

:facepalm

Looks like it continues with another generation......

[Nick Young]

teaching kids that they are victims and giving them ready excuse for any failure in their life is only going to teach them to fall back on this excuse when things get tough:facepalm

Being raised your whole life with a victim mentality does not lead to greatness, it leads to excuses everytime things dont work out for you:facepalm

Also all this ad does is encourage a segregated us vs them mentality. What do they hope to achieve with this video?:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

This video is phucking racist, talking down to all white people, trying to make people feel guilty for the colour of their skin, and encouraging segregation to little kids.

[Patrick Chewing]

Some black people :facepalm





Some white people need to make a video so that these ignorant blacks can understand that they are just as racist if not more.

Hey Black people!

Did you know that African people were enslaving each other for thousands of years before they ever met the European white man? Did you know the first African slaves given to Europeans were offered by African leaders? Did you know that slavery is still carried on in Africa to this very day?

Stop blaming the white man and demanding reparations from the US government! You should really be blaming black and arab African countries and demanding reparations from them! Stop raising your kids up with this victim mentality that encourages them to be losers before they even have a chance to succeed.

The more you tell a kid that they have no chance to succeed because of the colour of their skin, the more kids will grow up and not even try to become successful, because they are indoctrinated early that they have no chance no matter what they do. Shit like what's being taught in this video is called self fulfilling prophecy.

[russwest0]

Most black people :facepalm

[KNOW1EDGE]

This is a horribly racist video.

Very sad that they would brainwash and take advantage of children to spread their agenda

[ALBballer]

So the message is to end racism and generalizations by imitating and using stereotypical voices of white people and making generalizations about white people harboring racist ideas or being indifferent to racism.

Where was the racism?


Phase 1: teen closes door on cop either accidentally or purposely
Phase 2: some sort of struggle happens where cop sustains a facial injury
Phase 3: cop shoots and kills teen in either self defense or revenge
Phase 4:???
Phase 5: racism



Which part had anything to do with race?

The kid had also strong armed a convenience store and robbed $140 worth of cigars just hours earlier.

RACISM DOE, THIS KID WAS A SWEET INNOCENT ANGEL, SHOT DOWN ONLY FOR THE COLOUR OF HIS SKIN. HE WAS GONNA GO TO COLLEGE NEXT WEEK DOE.

More lovely messages we are teaching our childrens:banana: :banana: :banana:

Whoever oversaw this fun little operation deserves to be taken out Michael Brown style.

Jeez dude.:facepalm

[Nick Young]

dunno who approves this shit. These kids have no chance in life.

[BrownEye007]

What an embarrassment :facepalm Lets help end racism by teaching black kids that all white people are racist! oh and don't forget to buy our shirts!

[JohnFreeman]

The video is racist within itself...

[BrownEye007]

Reading through the youtube comments some lady says "racism has existed in this country for over 400 years!" :oldlol:

[masonanddixon]

These kids are pure shit.

[ballup]

Why would anyone listen to a bunch of kids? They have the least respectable opinion

[East_Stone_Ya]

These kids are pure shit.

:biggums:

[masonanddixon]

Why would anyone listen to a bunch of kids? They have the least respectable opinion

Because some dumb fat black bitch and her ***** white boy bleeding heart liberal friend are brainwashing them into it.

[masonanddixon]

:biggums:

Sorry, yeah I shouldn't have said that. After all, they are only kids. But they are seriously misinformed.

[Nick Young]

Because some dumb fat black bitch and her ***** white boy bleeding heart liberal friend are brainwashing them into it.
These kids have ZERO chance when they grow up because the shit these two are teaching them. What do you thinks gonna happen to a kid when you tell him from a young age

"You have zero chance to succeed because of your skin colour. Everytime you fail in life, it's because of racism keeping you down. You are a victim. White people are evil and holding you back. It is us vs them"

They are training these kids to become racists!

This kind of mentality should have gone away in the 1960s. All it does is PERPETUATE segregation and racism generation after generation. It's almost like that lady and man want these kids to grow up to be failures. Atleast they'll make a quick buck from those shirts guilting a bunch of self hating liberal rich white people:facepalm

yeah I know. It's not like their President is black or anything.

Liberalism is a mental illness.

[Budadiiii]

You are half right.

I am tired of black people claiming mixed folk as their own.....

J. Cole is white... Derek Jeter is white.... and Obama is white....

There has never been a black president.

[masonanddixon]

You are half right.

There has never been a black president.

So then basically every player in the NBA is white.

[Budadiiii]

So then basically every player in the NBA is white.
No, not at all.

Why do you say that? Obama is though.

So is Jeter and J. Cole and Drake and all these other mother ****ers that the black community claim as their own.

[Nick Young]

No, not at all.

Why do you say that? Obama is though.

So is Jeter and J. Cole and Drake and all these other mother ****ers that the black community claim as their own.
Did you know that when African Americans go to Africa, they get called white and mixed by Africans? This is due to the fact that somewhere back along the way, all African Americans are mixed, atleast partially with white people.

[Budadiiii]

Yup.

The video in the OP is what you call "Self hate"

These kids are being taught to hate themselves.... which is pretty disgusting when you think about it.

[Nick Young]

yeah I know. It's not like their President is black or anything.

Don't say that bro, according to the kids in the video, saying that means you're a racist.

Black Man Rants About Ferguson Shooting/Riots (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f0mVn0HH6U)

^Pretty much tells it how it is, isn't a sheep. Respect.^

[LJJ]

I feel sorry for the little children in the video.

[ace23]

yeah I know. It's not like their President is black or anything.
What does the fact that someone was able to overcome a racist culture have to do with anything? Of course there will be successes, just less successes from oppressed minorities since they typically have to grind harder to get to that level. Do you have trouble comprehending this or are you just acting retarded?

[Jailblazers7]

I don't see a problem with the video. It is possible to grow up educated about the implications of race in America without using it as an excuse to become a failure. If I were black I would be teaching my kids this shit so that they had an idea of the obstacles they will probably face.

Really? Teach your kids about racism, don't teach your kids to be racists themselves like in the video.

[97 bulls]

What was wrong with the video?

Should blacks accept being frisked at an 85% clip to a whites 8%? Its ok to not even give a person an interview based on whether or not they have an "ethnic" name? That's what they want to cease.

I'm a black man. You're damn right I've taught my kids that they have to work harder to succed in our society. You want blacks to stop complaining? Stop giving us stuff to complain about.

they're grouping in all whites man .. :facepalm .. not to mention they're using impressionable children .. who are being indoctrinated to be resentful and wary of white folks and see themselves as 'victims' .. that's terrible ..

how about I make a video addressing all blacks and 'playfully' rant about black on white crime ? .. you down ?

[EllisGW]

This a perfect video for every black kid in america. You have teach kids to work hard but you will face racist whites america and you have to ready for that. whites have been most racist in american history from the past to the present. Video does not say all whites are racist but that blacks still face racism and they will have face racism from whites. All black parents teach their kids this anyway.

[dude77]

I would agree with you if they pointed out a black man is the head of a huge corporation.

Obama is president of the united states of america.
The POTUS of america is elected via the electoral college system.
To oversimplify each state has a popular election and the when of the popular election in that state gets 100% of that states electoral votes. ( I think there is 2 states that distribute the electoral votes on a pro rata basis).

Basically America has a popular election basis, in all of our history the man who became president had the majority of the popular vote all but twice. (and both those exceptions had almost 50%)

Black people are only 12.7% of the general population. it is impossible to become president with only black support.

Many millions non-blacks had to basically agree that a black man would be their superior/leader and be able to enforce laws upon them, including ordering them into combat.

it says a lot about the reduction in racism (not saying its gone) that a black man was elected president.

Being president (like all elected positions) is not about being qualified or successful, its about being popular Eg. George W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Taft, sarah palin, rick perry, etc. The presidency is the only nationwide election in america. The fact that a black man won, greatly hinders the narrative of america being overall racist.

[2LeTTeRS]

Stop blaming the white man and demanding reparations from the US government!

Who the **** is demanding reparations?

[Jailblazers7]

Really? Teach your kids about racism, don't teach your kids to be racists themselves like in the video.

Obviously I would alter the emotional undercurrent of the message and the tone but the facts that they discussed is something that would be important for them to know.

[ace23]

So what exactly do you disagree with Mavs? You can be racist and still vote for Obama.

[DaSeba5]

I had a long argument with people over this last night. I guess being white is awesome (which is racist for white people to say) as I have all the privilege in the world. Like in this video, all white people talk like Paris Hilton. I guess it sucks to be everyone else, but I'm not going to feel guilty for it. I don't do anything to anyone, and I didn't even grow up with white people. My family was not here during slavery. South FL is a different place than other places in America. It's very diverse and schools down here are 50/50 white and black. I've been a minority myself in many places where I've lived. So this notion that I grew up in a gated white community full of white people living in a suburb (you know the image I'm referring to), and I have no understanding of anyone else, is ignorant.

And I don't mean I understand what it means to be black. I mean I'm not this ignorant white person that this video is grouping me in.

Let's say another organisation releases a video featuring a couple of white kids targeted at all black people, with these kids making complete fun and a joke out of very reasonable arguments black people stereotypically make about race?

Don't tell me that wouldn't be the outrage of the year.

The message in the video is racist flat out. And the kids in these video, and I'm assuming many black children throughout the US, are essentially indoctrinated with the idea that all white people who have an opinion and perspective that deviates from their parent's point of view in any way is completely full of shit and can be dismissed with no regard whatsoever. This is a way with which black people keep their own community down, honestly.

[MavsSuperFan]

THat is what I disagree with.

No racist person would ever vote for a black man to be president, other than a black racist who obviously would be voting for their race.

All white racists would have voted against obama. Not saying people who voted against obama are racists, as there is plenty of non-racial reasons to vote against obama, but all white racists would have voted against obama.

The president is the most powerful single person in america (and because of america's power on a global scale, the most powerful single person in the world). and it is chosen by the votes of citizens.

By voting for a man to be president, you are giving him control of your life (ability to send you into combat, the vast majority of american military actions occur without congressional approval), judge your innocence (presidents have absolute pardoning and commuting powers), strongly affecting legislation (presidents have veto powers) and enforcing all current laws/choosing his cabinet to enforce existing laws.

And most of all affecting your finances. Presidents select fed reserve chairmans who set your interest rates and they control the IRS.

you would have to be insane to be racist against black people and vote a black man into the presidency. I feel very comfortable in saying not a single person who voted for obama is racist against black people.

So what should the black community do in your opinion? Turn a blind eye and deaf ear to what happens on a daily basis?

There was nothing wrong with that video. All they were saying is stop acting like racism no longer exists because it does. Then they named some excuses people use to show it doesnt. Like "I have black friends", or justifying everything a person does based on a stereotype, like frisking minorities at a clip thats about 10 times higher than whites. Or how people with ethnic names like Jamal or Shakesha are less likely to even get an interview for a job based solely on their names. And then when they do get a job, have to work a lot harder to move up through the ranks.

I don't have all the answers. But the message in the video is basically "we don't have to listen to white people. We don't have to argue with them. All their arguments are a joke, unless they think exactly like us and confirm our perspective. Which is the only right one."

Sabotaging interracial communication and dehumanizing other races like that might be the single best way to ensure racism will only get worse in the future.

Yes, white people's, asian people's, brown people's and everyone else's opinion on racism and society as a whole matter just as much as the opinion of black people. Communication, taking each other seriously and promoting the idea that we all aren't that different is a much better message to teach our children regardless of their own skin color. You can teach children about race and about the struggles they will face without including a huge amount of vitriol towards other races in the process.

minorities opinion matters most because they are oppressed group not being the majority. To believe the whites face more racism than minorities is a joke.

[Cocaine80s]

You are half right.

I am tired of black people claiming mixed folk as their own.....

J. Cole is white... Derek Jeter is white.... and Obama is white....

There has never been a black president.
:coleman:

[Smoke117]

This is pathetically hilarious. It's been my experience as a half white/half mexican man that blacks are more racist than whites. They want to hold grudges from times that most of us weren't alive or none of us were, period. (slave days) Black people are always talking about how the white man is trying to keep them down...they do that well enough themselves.

Do you have facts of that? Black people have facts about racism. how would know what blacks go through since you are not black. Look at the white racist in the comments in the NBA, sterling, cuban and ferry all happened in last 5 months.

Man black people say just as much racist stuff. There are always going to be a few bad apples in a populations of millions. Everything will exist to a certain degree. There are plenty of black people who absolutely hate white people.

The difference is that blacks are minorities and whites can use racism as power. There is way more evidence that whites use racism against blacks.

I have my doubts on whether you actually care about facts.

It's a fact that whites in America are the victim of interracial violence more often than any other group. Does that mean we should tell people "you don't get to talk about white on black violence"? No. That would be insane. Just because black on white violence happens more does not mean that white on black violence is something we should tell people they don't get to talk about.

Here's where I said I have my doubts whether you care about facts. The fact that black on white violence is hugely more common than the reverse, I have a feeling that this is something that doesn't fall into the agenda of things you care about.

These are not easy conversations. Blacks face more racial barriers in society than whites. That's just a fact. But it's not a competition. We shouldn't want anyone to be victimized. In the current political landscape though, it seems to be a competition for who can be the biggest victim and everyone else either doesn't matter or somehow deserves it.

i'm gonna have to agree with this sentiment. i've faced alot more racism directed at me from black people then i have from white people

Does it matter who is "more racist"?

Like I said in my previous post, we need to stop treating things like a competition. We should want NOBODY to be victimized.

That's a real sweet sentiment, but if it isn't race it's just something else. People get victimized for being overweight, skinny, stupid, smart, ugly, attractive, poor, rich etc etc...that is just humanity for you.

[masonanddixon]

The crazy thing is that in states like California if you're black your grades and standardized tests scores can literally be half that of a white applicant and you'll get the nod over them. And there's high profile professional jobs reserved specifically for minorities. Unreal. And yet these clowns continue to maintain their victim mentality.

[ace23]

Nod over them for what? Acceptance into a university? Affirmative action has been banned for college admissions in California.

[masonanddixon]

Nominee for worst post of the year.

He's right though.

Check out the Arab (Islam) Slave trade. It went on for over 1000 years---slavery in Africa far precedes American slavery. At least American slavery was a purely economic phenomenon, whereas most of the other African slavery initiatives were about nothing than cruelty.

[masonanddixon]

No, the universities have gotten around it with a 'points based system'. And thats only at the undergraduate level. It's still being practiced at the graduate level.

But obviously the black people in the US talk about slavery and civil rights in the context of the US.

Slavery in the Roman empire or in the Muslim world doesn't have much of a bearing on US society, slavery and racial rights in US history do.

Lol. The message was that white people (some not all) like to claim that racism no longer exists because a black man (half black half white actually for the life of me why is he always referred to a being black) was voted president. Mind you this was just an example. Then they come back and show what happens when blacks are stopped vs whites and how people with black names are less likely to even get a called in for an interview.

To summarize, racism is not gonna stop so long as we have people like the posters here acting as if it no longer exists.

I mean come on you guys are making the point for them. Why do you keep bringing up slavery? There was no mention of slavery in that vid LOL. In fact, only the most hardcore black panther/Malcolm Farrakhan type blacks use this as an argument or the KKK as a mean to again, say we should be over it. What about whats going on today? We got kids getting shot comming back from a liquor store. And the act being defended for goodness sake.

What you guys are doing in this thread is exactly what they saying needs to stop

Why does it take two white guy non Ferguson types to lend credibility to what dozens of people witnessed?

[masonanddixon]

But obviously the black people in the US talk about slavery and civil rights in the context of the US.

Slavery in the Roman empire or in the Muslim world doesn't have much of a bearing on US society, slavery and racial rights in US history do.

But no one in our generation has faced slavery, nor was a part of the civil rights movement. In 2014, blacks are afforded every opportunity for success, but squander it with laziness and a loser's mentality.

And you can even argue that in sports, non-blacks have to be twice as good as blacks to receive the opportunities blacks receive by virtue of stereotypes in athletics. There;s no way a guy like Lin receives zero scholarship offers if his name is LeJeremy.

[Jailblazers7]

the problem with this video is that the are using racial stereotypes to denounce...racism...

Yeah, you guys are right. I didn't originally pay much attention to the caricatures of whites throughout the video. I think they def crossed a line and using children to deliver the message is a little disturbing.

[rezznor]

Does it matter who is "more racist"?

Like I said in my previous post, we need to stop treating things like a competition. We should want NOBODY to be victimized.


no doesn't matter who is more racist. i've experienced racist whites, asians, blacks...every group will have some. i guess the point of my post was to say that blacks can't only claim to be victims of racism when there are plenty out there in their community who are just as bad, if not worse.

[97 bulls]

i'm gonna have to agree with this sentiment. i've faced alot more racism directed at me from black people then i have from white people
How?

[EricGordon23]

wow it's just going to get worse the more white people see this video.

[NumberSix]

I don't really see anything wrong with it personally. They probably could have done without the mocking imitations, but keep it real. There are a lot of posters here that if it was a "hey black people" video would be telling blacks to calm down and stop being over sensitive.

Don't be hypocrites. Maybe it was slightly in poor taste, but we all have to put on our big boy pants sometimes. Let's not act like this video is some kind of scourge to society.

[qrich]

What was wrong with the video?

Should blacks accept being frisked at an 85% clip to a whites 8%? Its ok to not even give a person an interview based on whether or not they have an "ethnic" name? That's what they want to cease.

I'm a black man. You're damn right I've taught my kids that they have to work harder to succed in our society. You want blacks to stop complaining? Stop giving us stuff to complain about.

Of course you don't. According to you, black people are never in the wrong when it comes to racism and you have to defend them at all costs, such as Jude :facepalm

[rezznor]

How?

while growing up i got the usual asian slurs, bullying and such. also on the court when i used to play. had never been called a ***** by a white guy on the court before, only from black guys. I have gotten into a few fights with racist white guys at the clubs though.


I haven't really experienced it as an adult yet aside from some some homeless guys who would get pissed when i wouldn't give them money but they are just imbalanced so i wouldn't really call it racism.

[oh the horror]

Frankly I've stopped having dialogue about racism with whites. End of story. If they have an opinion I listen and nod.

while growing up i got the usual asian slurs, bullying and such. also on the court when i used to play. had never been called a ***** by a white guy on the court before, only from black guys. I have gotten into a few fights with racist white guys at the clubs though.

I see what you're saying and apologize on bahalf of the black community for what its worth. And you're not lying. I've seen blacks using racial slurs constantly and its no better. I remember actually arguing with a few friends over the term " white boy" I think it derogatory and makes them look just a bad as other people that use racial slurs.

no need to apologize buddy but i appreciate it. i blame the person not the race. there's good and bad everywhere. i've heard asians say some appalling stuff as well.

That's racist.

See, what these uneducated folk don't understand is that you can't get rid of racism by being racist yourself.

MLK Jr said it himself and still to this day people don't get it. More ignorance does not cure ignorance. More hatred and stupidity can not be used to cast out the already present hatred and stupidity.

"Let's make a racist video stereotyping white people as a message to get rid of racism and stereotyping" DAT LOGIC DOE

Bro, when I had a white chick from Oklahoma try to talk down to me as brown guy about cops profiling and not profiling then I tapped out.

There's just some shit that people can't know. I don't tell women about what pregnancy feels like.

But I'm sure your "I don't tell people how to feel" policy suddenly disappears when it comes to whites or cops "feeling" some people are more threatening or suspicious or are more likely to commit crimes than others. Then it suddenly becomes "we're all the same".

You don't like a "white chic" telling a brown man how he feels or experiences things, but strangely, when white people do things, all non-white people seem to have some special ability to know exactly what goes on in white peoples heads and magically know exactly what they do, why they do things and the intentions.

Point being, we all have biases. You pose this "whites don't understand" position you have as some kind of altruistic thing, but let's not act like when a white person agrees with you that you tell them they don't know what they're talking about. They suddenly become one of the whites who gets it. Am I right?

Just be conscious of what you're doing. All it is is a matter of " you don't agree with me, so I need some way of disqualifying you for even being permitted to holding an opinion". Unless they agree with you of course. This whole act of "this group of people's opinions don't count" is only put in use when they disagree with you.

Here's a wild idea. Judge arguments on the merit. Not on the identity of the person who is making the argument.

Hell of a post. Repped.

I actually edited it. You should quote the edited version.

It's a touchy subject, so I even caught myself phrasing something in a way that made myself cringe when I honestly had the best of intentions. That's why it's often difficult to discuss these topics. Even when using caution, you can accidentally phrase something in a way that just comes off as...... cringe.
