Interesting how out of the $13 for that POS shirt, only $5 dollars is going to a racism charity. It just wouldn't be raising awareness for racism without turning a profit.

Why all the black hate for white folks? Slavery? KKK? jim Crow? Second-class citizenship? Lynching? Denial of voting rights? Red lining housing? Prohibition from attending public educational institutions? Denial of equal pay while serving in the armed forces? Discrimination in employment? Denial of access to to hotels, restaurants? Water fountains? Toilets?

I just don't get it.

Does anyone else just see letters floating around?

I don't see any people against the background.

Do y'all think a white person wrote the lines for that?

I love being talked down to by some stupid little kid. I'd slap my son if he talked to an adult like that. I know its a video but I bet they wouldn't see any problem talking to white people like that.

yep, mocking white people and generalizing them will sure be constructive




I was thinking the same thing, wow mocking white people and stereotyping them... I think they have a word for that, it's called racism....

I hate that channel They go overboard and get you to root against whatever they're trying to get you to root for with insulting language, sarcasm, and unprofessionalism.

Women had to deal with most of those...for the entire history of mankind. Where are they today?

Oh...the majority of college students, degree holders, and the workforce.

Here are some stats recently told to me. I can neither validate nor dispute them.

Despite disparities in population sizes, black and whites commit roughly the same quantity of violent crimes in America. Around 400 suspects are killed each year by a police officer. Roughly 1 in 4 of those are black suspects, shot by a white officer. Which leaves 3 of 4 suspects either white, or black and killed by black officers. If these stats are true, I fail to see the disparity blacks are always referring to.

Some of those kids were really young. And they were mocking white people. I think using children is kind of unsettling no matter who does it.

Not really. But then again, I'm a white person. Not one ounce of that historical baggage on me. I wonder too, if the histories of our two races were switched, white for black, black for white, which race would be trying to close down I-70 today.

I agree the baggage exists. But the battle is being fought against folks with little to do with the baggage. After years of failing to do much to shake the legacy of discrimination, the black community (and liberal guilty whites) have decided to invert the situation.

Thus, rather than living in a world where black people are struggling to shake the history of discrimination and the (partially resulting) decay of the black family and community, we're living in a world where whites are enjoying "privileges" that aren't privileges, but simply the productive of largely functional communities.
