SPADE: A Critical Look At Black America -Does racism exist?

[firefox8192]

@spadeProject u look like Michell Obama u could get work as her security double

[cynt123able]

You know sighting insidences of racism does not mean she is being not aknowleging the changes that have occued in this country in terms of racism.

[firefox8192]

Do you even think that you could ever qualilfy as a paralegal for the likes of JOHNNY C.

[guyNbluejeans]

Can you believe this? This lady and 14-million other blacks in this country have no clue as to how good they've got it! Today's blacks were advanced at least 50,000 generations due to their ancestors selling their great grandparents. No one got a better deal than blacks!

Caucasians get no benefit at all in the general sense by living among blacks. But blacks benefit BIG TIME by having been grafted into a Caucasian culture. Just look at the lady in the vid. She's using CAUCASIAN TECH to slam us!

[BilegerantNinja]

@guyNbluejeans I..um. I just have one question. Is that a serious opinion or are you trolling for someone to blindly call you a racist for kicks? I'll calmly discuss/argue your point, but not if you're saying this out of childish boredom.

[guyNbluejeans]

@BilegerantNinja I will be happy to discuss the issues. But I don't wish to if you're not black. I'll be doing much today so getting back here to reply will have to wait.

My post was a little on the less than polite side, admittedly, but one must fight fire with fire and so these days I do. I truly have nothing against black folks due to their color or race, as God put each soul into the racial bodies that please Him. My beef is with what's going on in this country with respect to pandering...

[artlife20]

@guyNbluejeans I don't think she slammed white people at all. She just addressed a question that is in alot of peoples minds. And what exactly is a "Caucasian culture"?? In America, every race here contributes to the overall culture. She even concluded the video by saying that blacks should stop fighting the "rabid dog of raciscm" and better themselves. Did you even watch the video?

[guyNbluejeans]

@artli It causes me to have a bad reaction whenever I get even a small does of that "whitey's holding us down" nonsense, thus I only made it to 23 seconds into the clip where she commented that some black coaches with poor records were "dismissed prematurely."

And exactly what's on "alot of peoples minds"? The last time I looked, it appeared to me that Caucasians have in general been very kind and decent towards folks of other races. Maybe you'd like to enlighten me to something I'm unaware of?

[BrokenTengu99]

Good vid !

[proni1]

sweater puppets!

[johnsmdm]

shes stacked....

[Joramboo]

Selloutlady dis is based on some truth(some black ppl lack responsibility and that are able to better their lives if they want to).. But what i dislike about this is that she is indirectly generalizing and also not concealing causal factors like racism wich immobilizes lots of black ppl. to white ppl it might seem asa positive yes-we-can-message, but da bottomline is: negative to black ppl. It says: I'm black, and generally black ppl r held back due to themselves rahter than socio-eco factors

[dantean]

@Joramboo Let's not tell the white folks how after 300 years in this country you still can't write in English. Your grammar and spelling alone make "selloutlady's" point for her. Thanks for shaming us!

[Joramboo]

Haha whatever man.. I live in Belgium (Europe) where they speak french and dutch, and a lil german.. So if it wasn't for my knowledge on ur language we wouldn't b havin dis conversation, so thanks for shaming urself on dat one, ur ignorant consdescendent view on me tells me a lot of how u estimate me and other black people.. Peace

[erik4727]

@Joramboo Thank you for speaking nothing but absolute truth.

[prettycow25]

[zengreen7]

Nice rack!

[germancavemonkey]

of course there is racism...this world is about competition. White people didn't invent evolution.

[633390]

i didnt like the point she made about katrina

[germancavemonkey]

is that because you want to blame white people entirely for black people being looked at in a bad way?

[633390]

noooooooooo

[zengreen7]

She is on Jewish payroll. DO NOT TAKE THIS HOE SERIOUSLY!

[whitemanwaydownsouth]

thats because the truth is not always pleasant.

[petera41]

[zyruemusic]

[DKHOLLA]

Still think Ty Willingham was fired too early.

How's UW doing?

[noothername2pick]

I support educating and building stronger family values within the black communities, and ensuring we all have a better future in the US.

however, in my honest opinion, everyone in America should want to strive to become better, smarter, and more successful in life without handouts or charities, the parents are responsible for their kids growth.

[Galanttttt]

I really enjoy the commentary in your videos. You always have such interesting topics. Thank for posting your videos. You are so Beautiful! Please post more videos.

[wolviex2008]

Yes the black community does have a huge amount of racism in it. Also you have a pretty rocking rack there.

[godscuttingyoudown]

if anyone thinks slavery was abolished after the civil war, look up this vid on you tube

"Voluntary Servitude by Deception"

[rckbttm14]

fraudulent fema claims, they make money out of thin air, what about those who were let to die, we so stuck on their money we'll even attack our own over it, blacks are the original heirs to Gold, whites stole all of what we had now you say some ppl made fraudulent claims against those who stole from us. so what if they did!

[YouTvbeSucksMyCock]

some should tell stupid ass yolanda that race does not exist.

[haysb1488]

ye only have yere own behaviour to thank for the hatread ye receive,black achievment,ha ha ha, go rape a ho then eat some kfc u fucking wankers

[chitownmo]

Really, you are a specialist on this subject? Tell me, where did you get your Master's and/or Doctorate from? Are your your "enlightning views" on other groups of people improving the conditions and understanding of your community? What an ass. Your own behavior exhibits your level of achievement, little to none.

[haysb1488]

just the masters for now,phd is 4 yrs,not doing one,my views are my views,there are people like me,and there are people like you,liberals,who wanna emvrace all people,i despise your outlook as im sure you do mine

[chitownmo]

I am not a liberal as you say. In actuality I am a moderate to conservative on most issues but as you stated, but I do despise many nationalist/ethnic views within societies, such as racism as it has shown to have detrimental effects to humanity on multiple levels and only benefits small, elite groups at the expense of many regardless of ethnicity. Your views are your views which are allowed by law, racist or not.

[haysb1488]

listen,im sure u think im an ignorant redneck,but im not,i know there are decent hardworking black people,everyone does,but i dont think we should have to suffer murder and assult on a daily basis just for the sake of etnic diversity,i think a lot of black people are sickened by the actions of some niggers who fuck it up for everyone,where live used to be all white,now is mixed,and the crime rated has shot up,i think the decent blacks should stay and the niggers should fuck off,peace

[rts228]

You forgot that a one blacks were niggers what has changed nothing. You need to be clear on your views and stop beating around the bush and by the way you put things to me you are racist.Hay I call it how I read them and see them.

[zyruemusic]

@haysb1488 DIVIDE AND CONQUER!!! ALL BLACKS from Blaine,WA 2 Key West,FL R NIGGERS!!! ALL OF THEM!!! SO don't try it!! The reason the crime rates went up is because POOR PUBLIC SCHOOL TRAINING!!! The ARMY gets and trains NIGGERS 2 B killers 364 days a year.Most wind-up being law-abiding citizens..Y? Because they provide 4 ALL the soldiers needs regardless of color...ALL WHITE R CRIMINALS!!! 98% use all the drugs in America!!

[uhrealnigga]

Out of all the comments i read for this video 147 jesusfreak comment was the smartest and truthfully correct statement on youtube. thats from a real nigga like me.

[tmr2456]

i feel u its alot of ignorant BS on here...lets bump them off...and oh yea im uhrealnigga too

[uhrealnigga]

das wuz up kinfolk

[147Jesusfreak]

If I told you I was racist against blue eyed people, what would you say? Probably something like, "Well, blue eyed people aren't a race, it's just the color of their eyes." So if blue eyed people aren't a different "race," why are black people a different "race?" Isn't it just another color, like the color of your eyes? That's why I don't believe "racism" ever existed, because there's only one race on this Earth and that's HUMAN.

[lutermark]

thats sounds good on paper, lets not ignore what is really happening. there are many races in each color, can't hold against someone by the color of their skin or eyes at that, but by ones own actions. I hate all crack heads! i don't care what color they are, and society calls them a sub culture, fooooey! they are the walking dead, soul less parasites who feeds off of people that work their asses off to keep their lifestyles. We all have had to deal with that shit! makes me ill

[SylviaNCali]

Well Said I totally agree.

[wrldgornd]

You're a joke. A violent bitch. Bitch, I'll break your cuntbone.

[ThatsmyYokoOno]

Who's violent?

[wrldgornd]

heuyot - my statement is factual and your's is ridiculous - how ironic.

[hueyot]

You didn't really address what I just said... but I'll just assume that you do indeed possess a lot more to contribute but just choose not to because you don't like being serious on YouTube. In other words, you're not coming in here and replying in order to make an honest response and contribution, rather just to type something for the sake of typing something. :-/

[wrldgornd]

Hey hueyot, don't be an idiot. You know damn well no one ever said blacks are the only ones with strong opinions.

In the US, blacks are the only ones who were enslaved thru govt statute and the only ones who were discriminated against for 100 additional years thru govt statute.

Hey chump, you're nowhere in my league. Keep mouthing off to me and I'll embarass you. I'm gonna show everyone you're full of it.

[hueyot]

...the only type of discrimination that any human being has ever suffered from. Don't think that somehow only American blacks can understand and have strong and informed opinions on what it's like to be victimized by discrimination. It can happen to anyone at any time, in one dimension or another. Your statement of the US being a 400-year-old "anti-black white supremast capitalist system (govt + corps + media + white tradition)" is also ridiculous. Don't forget to grab your tinfoil hat :-P

[wrldgornd]

No my statement is factual and your's is ridiculous - how ironic.

[wrldgornd]

Hey punk idiot, you know damn well the discussion was about the story of African Americans being enslaved for 300 years thru govt statute here in the US - main point was not discrimination and no one ever claim no one else ever suffered discrimination.

Weak attempt, stupid. Keep fooling yourself.

[hueyot]

spade: you seem to imply in your video that racist mentalities only exist among non-black (which you seem to imply further are white people alone) people. in other words, you imply that discrimination only affects blacks. you're to smart to be this naive. if you want to take a stand against racism, then critique ALL of it, and don't only focus on racist acts and mentalities that disavantage and victiminze blacks. any person of any color, gender, religion, etc can be victimized by discrimination.

[wrldgornd]

The US is an ongoing 400 yo anti-black white supremast capitalist system (govt + corps + media + white tradition). When one speaks of the 'effect' of something, one has to consider what side of that something one is on. 300 years of slavery affected blacks and whites equally, but totally differently. Whites gained a certain self esteem with Tom Jefferson's lies in Notes on VA and the institution of slavery and Jim Crow. Blacks gained low self esteem because of same. - cont -

[wrldgornd]

Both were effected equally but the 'effect' was opposite. Since your questioning this lady's naivete, are so you naive to think that there's another group in this nation who experienced what blacks have endured?

97% of people are sheep (easily controlled/brainwashed). There is a definition for racism (you should look it up). Did she ever state that no other group has been a victim of discrimination?

Maybe her entire presentation just went over your head.

[hueyot]

I think you're taking a perspective that I was critiquing with spade. You're implying that nobody except blacks in the US can understand what it is like to be discriminated against. This is silly. There are many different people in this world who have experienced discrimination in many different forms. Of course there is a uniqueness to the slavery of blacks in American history... I would never undermine the severity or uniqueness of that story. I must remind you, however, that this is hardly...

[wrldgornd]

You do indeed misunderstand me. The govt mandated institution of US slavery does not compare to the statement you made = other people experience discrimination. I never said they didn't.

When one thing you're comparing has govt sanction behind it and the other thing doesn't have govt sanction behind it - your comparing unequal things - they're dissimilar, not alike. If you think those 2 things are equal, I say you're completely wrong.

[hueyot]

There ARE people how have been affected by government santioned discrimination, though. You don't even have to look overseas to find it. Whether it be discriminatory practices against Japanese people during the WWII era, or singling people out as commies during Mcarthyism. There are many European immigrants who were discriminated against by their governments, as well: Jews, political refugees, homosexuals, etc... the problem with spade's perspective is that she seems to imply that...

[hueyot]

...discrimination only manifests itself as racism from whites to blacks. That being said, government-sanctioned slavery has been over for a long time. Many people, of all colors, are disciminated against. Whether it be a hispanic person being discriminated against by prejudice black people (i.e. being beaten up for being hispanic in a predominantly black school), or a white person mistreating a black person due to color-based prejudices... it's all equal. All racism is equal, is what I'm saying.

[hueyot]

Bottom line: a white person discriminating against a black person is as bad as an oriental person discriminating against a latino person. Spade seems to only be concerned about how racism affects blacks: which in an on itself is slightly a racist point-of-view. Let's attack racism as a whole, see each other as people, and not pick and choose which racist victims we want to support (based on color).

[rts228]

I agree with on some points of your statement.But I have to disagree that all racism is the same because it isn't and it would take a long to explain this so I want . But talk the time and research everything and that when the clear insight sets in. Remember america has been the biggest player in racism and the world takes from that.

[proachnd]

Shut yer friggin' mouth, moron. Ty Willingham was a bad coach at Notre Dame, and he's still a bad coach at Washington. Furthermore, Notre Dame is NOT a Jesuit school. It's a Holy Cross school. Don't talk of thing about which you do not know.

[a5703]

all y'all do is complain!!! when is it ever going to be good enough for you? so easy to point your problems as someone elses fault...nothing surprises me anymore

[wrldgornd]

You'd have to be dumb as a rock to not see it; or a mindless, cowardly sheep.

PS: the system uses black women to impede black progress. They know you're subversive and hate black men (penis envy). They know you're full of attitude and fickle and flighty and will make a scene in a second on the job (with black men, that is). Hey - men = testosterone, women = estrogen. Black women sometimes think they full of testosterone - black men know they're just pms-ing. Girls will be girls.

[wrldgornd]

By racism, I believe you mean anti-black hatred.  See imprecise communication is a major reason blacks are progressing slowly. If you can't communicate clearly, you might as well shut up cause you're doing more harm than good. Lesson - The USA is a 400 y.o. anti-black (not other races) system (govt + corps + media + white tradition). It produced the richest country on earth and devastated a people. The effects of this system and it's history are everywhere.

[wrldgornd]

Does racism still exist? - silly question. What do those executives have to do to rise in the ranks. Sell out their brothers and sisters. Sure one has to be competent - I am. But I've experienced ignorant racists white, hispanic and asian and have been railroaded for being too competent (when top salesman is black guy, jealousy abounds). You black women smugly join the racists cause they're more comfortable w/you - girls avoid confrontation at all costs. Girls will be girls.

[BIZKID25]

I agree just a little too vague. The issue is just a tad bit bigger than personal responsibilty.
