So you didn't even watch the video? Just quoted someone else's thoughts about it and formed your own opinion on the video?


Well I am an average American, so.... Yeah.

ETA:

I just watched the video. He says: "if we all started at the same time, I know some of the black dudes would smoke all of you".

That is all kinds of fricked up to say, but of course he sees nothing wrong with it.

Also, he keeps harping on "nothing you've done got you this head start". Yeah dude. No shite. It's things my parents did. And things I'll do for my kids. It's not some magical white magic. It having family values and good parents. That's not a white people thing. And it's not something the winner of that race can fix. Dumbass. frick that dude and I stand by my earlier statement.

If you watch the video, objectively the only big issue to take with it is the guy saying some of those black folks would smoke everyone thus making it about race. But at its core, the video is correct in that in life some folks are born into advantageous positions in life. Don't see what the issue is with that.

Damn right. It's my mom taking me to the library in the summer and reading books to me and helping with homework and my dad working 16-17 hour days and 2 jobs to give us a life we didn't deserve.
