The woman at the start of the video does not look white. The bald man I can definitely understand, but the first woman and even the one at the end? How are so many people in the world so biologically clueless that these two could go everywhere 'passing'?
@sockjockid you are mixed race if you have any blood related member of your family that's of another nationality you are mixed race that's why so few people are truly one nationality anymore people skin colour does mo dictate your race English ad Scottish parents will produce mixed nationality children even though they are both White
@bgrimsey157 My parents have different nationalities but I still have only one of them as I have grown up in my mothers family which is fully Russian.
My great-grandfather was african american and everyone else in my family is white. Does that make me black enought to be considered african american?????? Please help me im cofused about my race??
@sockjockid listen to me. You are of African descent. Enjoy that. get some cultural information . Educate yourself. Whiteness is not a race--it is a political position, and a tool
for exploitation . European people should do very well to shun the label I think.
My mother is Italian-Brazilian, my father is African-Brazilian, in Brazil I am considered "mixed"- I live in Germany now and people here describe me as Black. And an American friend says that I am a Latino. Why people are so concerned about my ethinicity?
@danielcabesi - It depends on how you take it. They may be admiring you, but you sound like you're too sensitive. Just like some people actually get insulted when you ask them about their accent. Also, the last time I checked, Brazilians were a combination of Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians who spoke Portuguese. I wonder how your American friend came up with Hispanic since they all speak Spanish.
@americanpatriot00 Alot of people consider Latino to mean all Latin American since Portuguese and Spanish both come from the same "Latin" language. Others think Brazilians are not latin. There is no set standard. Hispanic is used to denote only "Spanish" speaking latin countries. Hope that helps! I know it's confusing.
@Paulwhiteshark - NEWS FLASH! To be "black" means to be mixed. If a DNA Genealogy Test was given to a Black Person who's parents were by American standards back, the results would always show African Blood, some degree of European Blood, and in some rare cases, Native American Blood.
That could be said about Hispanic Communities and White Communities. Don't pretend like it's exclusive to Black Communities, because you'll be called out by someone who knows better... every time. In fact, I believe MTV has a whole series called "Teen Moms" which focus on young white girls who engaged in "irresponsible baby-making". How bout balling them apples?
I'm a blue eyed Heinz 57, so I speak for no one but myself. I'm neither representative of the "black community" or the "white community".
As for the rest, I learned everything I know about violence in the US Military where my "impulse control" earned me medals. I have no children and not a fan of football. I simply feel the need to punch a racist in the face when they start going on at me... consider it a "lifestyle choice"!
@luckyjamal I agree. But what is funny to me, is I have dated white men, black men (although most black people gave the guy a problem about dating me since I'm a "wannabe" black person according to them), and Middle Eastern guys, but in every relationship people referred to my relationship as an "interracial" relationship! If I am black, why is it a problem for black people for me to date a black man? Why am I dating outside my race if I date a white man when my dad was white?
"Black people cannot be racist," What??! I have had more black people treat me poorly, for not being black enough, than I've had white people be racist toward me.
@jamesandchante - Q: What's Black enough? Is that your assumption, or did someone actually say those words to you? You need to be careful when saying what the reasons were as far as why some people treated you poorly. I use to say the same thing you're saying until someone pointed out to me that the people I encountered were ignorant folks, and ignorance isn't race specific.
@americanpatriot00 I don't honestly know what black enough is. They told me I wasn't black enough. I know there are ignorant people of all races. That is why I do not prefer not to identify with one over the other, I've had plenty of people from both races reject me. My white grandparents don't even accept me as belonging to their family since they consider me a "zebra baby" (there words not mine). I chose friends that don't make me chose between an affiliation of two races that reject me.
@jamesandchante - It sounds like you're choosing your" friends" well. Just don't make the mistake of calling associates your friends, because a true friend is rare. Most people think they have lots of friends, but the truth of the matter is that, those "friends" hadn't been put in a position in which their friendship to you was really put to the test.
@americanpatriot00 You're definitely right! I couldn't have said it better myself. I do not have a lot of friends, but I do have a few that have proven to be true friends. I have been friends with them since childhood.
@jamesandchante don’t take him wrong when he said that, it is much more prejudices than racism. blacks controls no institutions in america and you know that
@americanpatriot00 I think that it might be or a disconnect from the White group or what Rock Newman was talking about. It could be that being read as White has led to comments mentioned about Black people that has offended them and pushed them away. I don't know, I think it's a shame that a bi-racial child would feel as if they could not claim both heritages.
@jadedgurl86 i am predominately African in appearance. I have children that look white. I tell em they are not"white"--- I tell them the are descendant in part from specific tribes Europeans.White is political.there are no such people. People are afraid of what they do not know.
@americanpatriot00 i wouldn't say we are ashamed. I would say that we claim black over the white solely out of historical habit. My opinion going back to the "1 drop law." That law then still holds true for us now. My birth certificate says black but if i really wanna be exact i am other. I am proud of all that makes me who i am. Cherokee, Black Foot Indian, West Indian, English, Brittish and African Out of historical habit is my opinion as to why we claim the black heritage.
@tazwolfe1 - Uhh Ohh! I knew it was coming. Welcome to the club. Everybody and their grandmamie is part Native American. LMAO!
On a more realistic note: You should be proud of things you've accomplished in life. You did not accomplish being half this, half that. or half whatever.
@americanpatriot00 soo true. I do now check other on all my applications. only once has it come up in an interview and when i gave my explanation that i cannot claim only 1 part of who i am the hiring manager agreed. like it was said in one of those videos... when the boxes of race determination go away racism won't be too far behind.
@OreoAnne I agree with this. I am more accepted by white people (believe it or not), because I look mostly white. Yet, I don't like white people better. I don't like the way many of them treat black people. I always tell white people that I'm black, but many of them are still silly enough to say insulting things about black people in front of me! That is offensive to me. So, I find it somewhat difficult to feel very connected either race.
@jamesandchante I would like to be accepted by both races, so I claim both; but the majority of people of both races make it difficult for me to identify with them. Many black people treat me as though I am a white racist who is somehow responsible for the way many white people have treated them. But, I shouldn't be blamed for looking somewhat like people that are mean to them. At the same time, I have white people talk badly about black people to me, why should I want to be white?
@OreoAnne I'm generally not accepted by black people either; but I still claim that side because they cannot change the fact that I share the same heritage even if many of them want to.
What alot of white people don't realize is that Blacks (African American, African, Black Islanders, Black Europeans etc) come IN ALL SHADES. We come from the fairest of fair to the darkest of dark and just because they have light skin, eye color or hair DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE MIXED. Two dark skinned blacks an make a light skin/tan baby not uncommon at all & vice versa. My grandfather was darker than me & he had baby blue/gray eyes. The DNA can go backward to previous generations.
I don't think it's about whites not realizing how many shades we come in. That's a moot point. NONE OF THAT MATTERS. We are still considered black regardless of that.
@americanpatriot00 I'm aware my comment isn't a point in the video. I just thought it was a relevant cause alot of white ppl are ignorant that fact.The question of MJ being the actual biological father of his 3 children is an example. Many people say MJ ISNT maybe he isn't I don't know but to deny his paternity SOLELY based on skin tones & features is ridiculous. lol
I have heard this argument that blacks cannot be racist before, allegedly because racism is an institutionalized thing and flows from those with power to those without. Yet if racism is a thing of instututions then surely it is only instituitions that can be racist. People are not governments. Moreover it is not as if there will not be rare circumstances when blacks and black prejudice has power over whites. Heck I lost my first job to that.
@waldoman7 Yes, people of all races are racist. I do think most black people that are racist against white people are that way because people discriminated against them in the first place. So, they become bitter, suspicious of everyone (even mixed people), and militant. I understand this, and I feel bad that they were treated badly. However, I don't think it gives them the right to treat others in a racist way too.
On the question on whether a black man can be racist, he should have said that racism is the belief of someone who considers himself to be superior than another race and that your stance against that racism and hatred of that racism for being the target and victim of that racism is not in itself racist.
@TheSololobo - Actually it's that, and also when you use your position to keep those with whom you feel are racially inferior from getting ahead. I think that's racism. As far as prejudice? We ALL are guilty of that. EXAMPLES; I prefer chocolate ice cream over other flavors. I prefer to date Black Men because I am more attracted to them physically than White Men. I prefer Toy Dogs as pets over the larger breeds of dog. ALL THIS IS PREJUDICE.
@americanpatriot00 Actually the examples you mentioned were more like preferences rather than prejudices. A prejudice is a pre - judgement, as in assuming something before having proof.
@TheSololobo - Well, prejudice by definition means a preconceived preference. So it sounds like we're both right. I say Chocolate Ice Cream is my favorite, and yet, I've never tasted every flavor of ice cream in existence, I said I am physically more attracted to Black Men, and yet, I'm almost certain I could find a man from another race that I would find equally attracted to, I also said I prefer Toy Dogs, but that's because I live in a condo.
@TheSololobo I agree with you, most black people who dislike white people do not believe they are superior to white people. They are bitter towards white people because of the way racist white people treat them. But, some black people do think they are better than others. I know of plenty of black people that have told me they are better than Mexican people! This is silly. No race is better than another.
@jamesandchante Human beings are socialy hierarchical. Although we like to nestle in the comfortable idea of equality the unsettling truth is that there are stark diffrences between the races. But do we dare to be honest about them, to sacrifice our heavily guarded ego and lay down any hidden agenda,complex or undefined motive.
its funny because i m black and nebraskan and there were more black people that lived and homesteaded back in the day on the farmlands and there was black communities then...today we are abt 4% of the state population and mostly concentrated in the cities...in any event i am sure wherever there is black people, there is a black community no matter how small
@xCraiig - Funny you say that, because most of the people leaving comments would do not consider them white, and can't understand how they could have ever passed as white. So it's interesting to finally hear someone say something close to "These people not looking Black".
@americanpatriot00 I don't see how any of them could pass for white. The women look mostly black. However, while I do not think the guy could pass for a totally white person, he looks a little more white than black to me.
What the hell do you mean.. you didnt see that Black woman say BOTH her parents were Black? Her parents are lightskinned Black people...Why is it when a Black person is attractive or has features that people would prefer to not be considered "Black" they are not Black...this shit makes me so sick...They ARE BLACK PEOPLE because Black is the root of ALL RACES!
@Moniqtee You have me confused with that attractive feature comment!
I'm still sticking to my original comment as i find it extremely hard to believe the guy and the short haired woman are just Black they look more white than anything else, the other two women i can believe have more Black DNA than white, but i still think they have a fair share of white DNA!
@Moniqtee Yes, but how did they become light-skinned black people? Most likely, somewhere down the line they are related to white people! For example, my mom says she is "black." But, her father is half Indian and half black, and her mother has a parent that is half Indian and half black, and a parent that is fully black. So, my mom is actually mixed in my opinion (even though she doesn't admit it). Sorry, but black people with very light skin are usually mixed with other races.
Look Y'all it is about DNA. Doesn't matter in the US how you look if you have a drop of negro blood you are considered black.
PS. blacks can be racist, but the issue for me is that our prejudice is not the same, not borne of the same unprovoked contempt. Both wrong but the whites did something to initiate it.
@xCraiig I also find it weir that they only consider themselves to be black. Yet, I think everyone has the right to identify themselves with whatever race they feel most comfortable with. I'm always surprised when a person I share the same heritage with asks me what race I am, and then they get angry (sometimes to the point of trying to start a physical confrontation) just because I mention both our shared heritage and my other heritage! Why should it be anyone's business what race I am anyway?
@00Jackacid btw do you also know who made the food for the Thanksgiving feast? Did you know Native Americans returned runaway slaves and some even owned slaves? Lol you're ridiculous.
@00Jackacid LMAO dude you're so full of shit, on another one of these videos you said you were Mexican. No where did I say you were white, YOU just know you are. Have fun man :-)
This world is so messed up....why are so many people stuck on skin pigmentation??? It's the CULTURE/ENVIRONMENT you're raised in that makes you who you are; it has NOTHING to do with COLOUR. Gosh, people are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo DUMB.
i think this pandering to the african american community while well intentioned has given them a sense of entitlement. unfortunately that thier historic oppression is often used to selfish ends in the present by both the black and white americans has undermined the fundemental notions of equality in this country. no wonder that one gentleman thinks black people cant be racist completely unaware of the dehumanizing implications of such a statement.
@MrSpeechie2010 you dont need to be the majority to be racist or oppress another group. ever heard of south africa? and secondly black people if they want to be recognized as a group have take responsibility for thier own racism not just be the benificiary of white guilt. We have a black president and this whole "black people cant be held responsible for thier racism" was dated when this video came out. stop dehumanizing yourselves by embracing lesser moral standards just because of color.
@00Jackacid What you and others like you fail to understand is that you whine and whine all you want but none of you really care that black people can be racist.That's a simple defense mechanism you use to take the heat off of the racist and hateful past of the European race. In no way, shape, or form did the Black Africans, Native Americans,or Asians massively enslave and massacre Europeans.And YES I know of South Africa and last I checked it's mostly Black and they treat each other like shit!
@00Jackacid And btw what is the point of a black person being racist? Please tell me how blacks can advance themselves in this mostly white nation(200,000,000 Whites) by being racist? Can they get more Whites into prison? Do they have media control? Do they control the government? If they rally altogether and to try to kill all whites what are their chances of success? Hmmm I really did not know they had that much control. Blacks can be as racist as homosexuals can be heterophobic.
@MrSpeechie2010 I'm native american. how do you think I feel about a foriegn people complaining while they live off welfare from a government that murdered my people and stole my land.should I be a serial killer because past racism?? This isnt your land and youre being here is as much a racial privilege as the ones whites used against you. if you were truly as altruisitc and righteous as you expect whites to be youd go back to your homeland and stop paying taxes to government of genocide.
@00Jackacid I am here because this is where I was born. You complaining about your people's loss is the same as me complaining about mine. You're just talking out of your ass now because I said nothing about slavery or Black murder rates. I also never said anything about expecting whites to do anything for Blacks. If that's the case what's the excuse you have for the disproportionately high amounts of alcoholism in Native Americans?
@00Jackacid If you think my people being brought here in chains was a "privilege" then consider what the whites have done for this country and to your people as a "privilege." And BTW most serial killers are/were White. Learn facts and how to stay on topic.
@MrSpeechie2010 im native american stop talking to me like im a white man.altho i can see how we'd be invisibile to your world view. you're not slaves NOW and we have a black president. my people had genocide perpetuated againt us, our homeland stolen from us and we have no poltical representation.. you can not compare your plight now or then to the gravity of ours. your blame gain is a crutch.
dont tell me to stay on topic when you're spewing statistics about serial killers.
@00Jackacid What the hell are you talking about? I never said anything about serial killers first! I stated a random negative statistic about your people since you did mine. And YOU think your people had it bad and mine didn't? The African religions, cultural values,and identities were all ERASED. Your people still have yours. African countries were colonized and ravaged for valuable resources. But I'm not going to play my horse is bigger than yours and play victim.
actually this whole video is about playing victim. everyone knows african americans are the biggest complainers and excuse makers. and african coutnries still exist and thier cultures aswell. saying native american cultures still exist to any reasonable extent is a joke. and its easy for you to not wnat to keep score when you are the benificiaries of our oppression.
@00Jackacid Many black people are complainers, and so are Native Americans (but both have reasons to sincerely complain). The fact is, dwelling on the past doesn't help any of us. We need to move on, and learn to notice the similarities all humans share, and learn to appreciate the differences we have. None of us should be forced to apologize for what generations before us did either. We just need to respect one another, and accept one another now. The past can't be changed.
@MrSpeechie2010 I agree with you about this; I don't know why the Native American person is upset. That person is feeling sorry for himself/herself (I don't know if this is a man or woman), and possibly left out. It doesn't make sense.
@jamesandchante I doubt that person was even Native American. He sounds like a White American. He said he was Mexican on another one of these videos and he kept accusing me of talking to him "like he's a white man" like a thief with a guilty conscience. He's a poser. If he weren't White then why is he fighting so hard against Blacks and defending Whites? I'm more than sure he was White or a Mexican in denial of his European ancestry.
@00Jackacid My people never took your people's land. Native American genocide has always been something I've known about. If you're angry about it, take it out elsewhere. I am never against anyone but you can continue to hate and blame my people for what they never did.
@MrSpeechie2010 no this is my land and country. you people have a monopoly on white guilt which prevents society from thinking about us at all. Despite all the permanent barbaric shit the white man is still fixated on blacks crying about minute social interactions. Btw blacks did help the white man kill natives. ever heard of those buffolo soldiers your people are so proud of? and the fact that its been proven that blacks have no native blood and still lie say they do and steal our culture
@00Jackacid Black people have no native blood? Bullshit. What other types of bullshit do you believe? That native people have no white blood or vice versa? You sound just like white American people trying hard, out of fear, to make themselves think they don't have any other kind of ancestry except for European. And how is someone admitting that they have some ancestry of some other kind "stealing culture"? Fear, lies, bullshit. Some people THRIVE off of it.
@00Jackacid You cannot be serious? What is worse, getting your house stolen, or your family member? Actually, no one alive now was a white man's slave. Also, your ancestor's land was stolen, but no white person stole any of your personal property. Also, Obama is not a "black" president. He is a mixed person, like me. I bet he would say this too, if everyone didn't force mixed person's to accept whatever race we are told we have to be, and what race we are told to reject.
@00Jackacid Well, I understand your point, but it has some major flaws. First, nor all black people are on welfare. Second, white people stealing your land is wrong, but white people kidnapping, beating, raping, and selling people (mostly black people, but Indians too) is much worse than stealing land. Third, if a black person who was born in America should go back to Africa, then you should go to Africa too, because all humans originated there.
@jamesandchante By the way my father was German, and my mother is black and Taohono O' odham; so, I am all three races. What should I do, and where should I go? Do I need to go to Africa? Do I belong here? Should I go to Germany?
@MrSpeechie2010 I agree, black people don't benefit themselves by being racists; neither do gay people benefit themselves by being heterophobic. Yet, they are black people who do not like white people, and gay people that don't like straight people anyway. Is it logical for a white person to hate everyone except for straight, white males? No, but Neonazis and KKK members do.All racism is wrong, but we cannot deny it's existence.
@MrSpeechie2010 It doesn't matter whether or not they benefit from being racist, if they hate others because of their race, they are racist! My dad was married to a black woman, and preferred black people over white people. If he was attacked by black people for just because he was a white man walking through our neighborhood when there was a gang of black men (which he says did happen), black people are racists too!
@jamesandchante I didn't deny that Black people can be racist but what I am saying is does it serve a purpose? Black people won't benefit from it in any way, shape, or form. In fact it can have HUGE negative effect on Black people as a whole if they were all racist. Yes there are Blacks that hate Whites and vice versa. There also Latinos, Asians etc who hate Whites, what purpose does it serve? Racism is wrong on all counts but in this country no one benefits from it more than White and (cont->)
Of course black people can be racist, that was a ridiculous statement of him to make. Anyone on this Earth is capable of being racist, be they black, white, purple or green. You take a white man and put him in the middle of Somalia, he'll be an ethnic minority and is just as likely to experience racism as a black man in the middle of Texas.
lol the funny thing is tthat the woman in the purple dress said like a thousand times that she is not multiracial, or mixed she is whole black a that her parents are light skinned blacks, yet people still chose to beleive she was white, and like she said her own father chose to beleive he was white
A few of the guests said that both of their parents were half black and half white. I don't know if they understand that two biracial parents make a biracial child, so the guests themselves are still half black and half white.
@TheBellefillenoire - The point you're missing is that it doesn't matter what label we choose. In America we are still considered black. 50+ years ago, we (well, those of us who's racial identity was known) still had to sit in the back of the bus and drink from the same "Colored" water fountains as all the other Black Folk under JIM CROW a.k.a. American Aparthied.
.
IT DOESN'T MATTER and it only further seperates the black Community.
@americanpatriot00 You're 27 years old. You never had to sit at the back of the bus. I want to know just what exactly is the "black community" and the "white community"? Does a white kid that lives in Detroit fall under the "white community"? How about a black kid that lives in the farmlands of Nebraska - is he part of the "black community"?
@americanpatriot00 The point you are missing is that some mixed people were so white looking that they did not have to sit in the colored part of the bus, use the colored rest room, etc.; unless they openly told people they were black. I no that most people do not think I am black, unless I tell them. Personally, I don't feel the desire to pretend to be only one race or the other. I am more than one race, and I never have pretended to be only white to avoid racism, nor do I deny that I am white.
@TheBellefillenoire It had to do with the times if you had even a bit of black blood in you you were condisered black not,biraicial, not mixed but black
@TheBellefillenoire Yes, that is what I tell my mom. "If you both parents are mixed with Native American and Black, so are you!"...I tell her. But she is supposedly "black." This is why I'm not very black looking.
Google these names to learn about a few very influential people who were part black. Alessandro de Medici, Chevalier de St. Georges, Aleksander Sergeevich Pushkin, General Alexandre Dumas, Alexandre Dumas pere, Alexandre Dumas fils, Bernardino Rivadavia, and Vincente Guerrero.
Race stuff is stupid. There's no "pure race". People have moved around Earth for 1000s of years. For example someone saying they're "all white", or all anything else, isn't. Look at the people not "white" from Africa and Asia who have gone into Europe. Prehistoric migrations, Rome and Greece forcefully taking people there or people going there voluntarily, Genghis Khan, Moorish invasion (lasted 500 years!), 1400s-1800s slave trade, etc. So yes, Europeans have non-white ancestors. Its a fact.
My mother's father's mother and both of her parents were black cherokees (not officially part of a tribe), and there's a line of native ancestry going into the 1700s. On that same side I have a white greatX3 grandfather. No records on my father's side but his mother/grandmother are clearly black-indians (native eyes/hair and black+native features). And there are light-skinned people (means white ancestry) on both sides of my family, yet I'm still called "black"? That's how things are in America.
Because of the One Drop Rule (when it was officially in effect in the slave days, and in the modern days when the habit of using it was still thought to be necessary) African Americans are a very diverse group of people, which is why you have "black" people with DNA racial percentages of african, european, and native american, and skin tones and other features all over the map in varying degrees. Some "black" people might even be more white than black because of this but they dont even know it.
The One Drop Rule (from slavery days) dictated that anyone part black was to be called black, even if they were part white or Native (unless they were an official tribal member). Even after this racist rule became TECHNICALLY obsolete, the idea is still around because old habits in America are hard to break. This is why biracial people are usually still called black.
@docdoom187 Why are we letting white people tell us what race we are anyway??! White people said black people were monkeys at one time. Should we now claim to be monkeys because of this? Of course not! So, if I am black, white, and Native, why must I pick just one? I don't always claim I'm Native American, because my mother never had me officially registered into the tribe. But, I am all three races.
@jamesandchante You make a good point. I also read your other recent comments. Yes, people have twisted views that are not rooted in simply accepting reality. The older people who don't want to admit any other ancestry is due to fear and a deep kind of resentment towards another group of people. Black men who seemingly only like white girls is sometimes more than just a simple "fetish". Sometimes it's because they think all black women act like the ugly, negative stereotype.
I am Black, because my family is so mixed, I have many euro traits, most people can't figure out what I am. Until you've experienced being treated like you have no place, not accepted by black, not accepted by white, wanting to be accepted by black, I don't believe the full racist american cancer can be fully understood. Passing is unacceptable, but being shunned is painful, it's not anyone's fault how they look, or appear,talk to the person first, or ask, "what is your racial background?" DAMN!
@angelsoflightbpagean-- I agree 110%!! One's racial makeup should not be an issue. But unfortunately it is--even in 2011. The key(as you already know) is to keep your head high, walk with your chest out, and conduct yourself with honor & dignity. They're counting on you to fail--DON'T LET THEM!! When Obama was elected in November 08, many of the white citizens were eager to 'claim' him because of his Irish roots. Racism damages the american brand, it hasn't destroyed it. : )
@angelsoflightbpagean I agree with you. I refuse to pass; because it means denying your family and being ashamed of who you are. However, I'm not accepted by black people. So, I claim to be mixed, and if people don't like it, that's there problem.
Many black men have problems too. I have never been asked on a date by a black guy. I have asked black men out on dates before, and I was almost always rejected. Either they told me they like fully black girls, or they only like full white girls!
Whites are at the top no matter what and they did some fucked up things to get there. They need to stop complaining and start explaining ha where is my 40 acres and a muthafuckin mule like shit they owe, they owe, they owe us real talk
@Swecan76--I understand your point of view. I remember watching this live. It was broadcasted in the late 1980's. Your posting was in 2011. This should be viewed in historical context. This was aired before Rodney King. The man @7:10 went on to train Riddick Bowe for the heavyweight crown in the 90's. I recognized him ringside. We have made significant progress since its airing. Racism still exists in this country-but not exclusively with whites. Obama brought racism back to the surface.
@Swecan76 I agree with you. I also find it annoying when black people tell me I am a racist against my own race if I don't claim to be only clack. Then they tell me how the first humans, which were ancestors of all humankind were Africans that were exactly like full-blooded black people! This is not actually true. The first humans were on the continent of Africa, but they were genetically more similar to biracial people than they were to full-blooded black people (all variations came from them).
This is fascinating because being a fight fan, I know Rock Newman because he managed former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe. And until seeing this, I always thought he was white...
I love the way white liberals like donahue painfully agonize over these issues. How's life in your mansion, Phil? Did your kids enjoy their exclusively white (aside from some black window dressing) private schools?
@seans10 - I think you've got Donahue fugured out wrong, and I don't blame anyone in the United States for wanting to send their children to private school. Public School Teachers aren't educated enough, and they don't seem to want to teach kids the lessons, just pick up a check.
@seans10 So true! So true! I share this video with inter-ethnic teenagers every chance I can. Most of them are confused. Their White parent is usually the one who educates them and of course they give them the White perspective. Since they have never been Black they can't possibly teach them the reality of being Black. The one drop theory still holds in America. White hate very light skinned people more than they do Brown, or Black people as they can easily pollute the white gene pool.
@JaySkulk--The white parents will give their white perspective because 'they know' those children will be hit with the 'black reality' in the real world. Those children will be forced to make a decision:Fight the 'in your face' racism or choose sides(black or white). That is the theme of the show. Society chose for them! The panel was forced to lie rather than show their true identity.
@seans10 - God Bless Phil Donahue for at least trying to tackle and understand issues that plagued the Black community. Oprah Winfrey did the same thing at first, but then she realized that it made most White Folk uncomfortable, so she began to discuss issues that mostly concerned White Folk.
For the record, all of these people are clearly part black. I love this pretense. Like that lying book "Black Like Me"...yeah, white people were fooled by a black guy with shoe polish rubbed on his face.
What about Whites who pass 4 Blacks? hmm.. The title alone demonstrates the mindset of people. Y do Blacks have 'PASS' as Whites as though it is a privilege. Even though it may seem that way. Isn't being black or white determined by man made laws? Laws made in modern society are flawed, therefore making them illusionary bullshit.
@tarisone1 - You sound just as bad as this one Black Guy on Oprah who stood up and asked 'Who's to say that I'm not really a white guy who looks black". Mind you, this guy looked like Bernie Mac. So go figure!
.
"BLACKS WHO PASS FOR WHITE" is a recognition that black genes are dominant even if it's masked through racial cross breeding and displays a phenotype of what appears to be a white person. So therefore, anything mixed with black shall be considered black.
@americanpatriot00 No such thing is a 'black gene'. Before pale people arrived on the planet melanated people had no reason to distinguish race of people & label them 'black' or 'white'. The fact remains that it is flawed & a naive & ignorant mind set of today's people. To identify race of people based on skin color is stupid. This 'black' & 'white' idea is new & flawed. It's not that I sound as bad as the guy u saw on Oprah, it's that ur mind is too programmed to comprehend what I'm explaining.
Black people can't be racist...that is the BIGGEST lie I have ever heard. A lot of black people are racist, and they are open about it and usually get away with it because very few white people feel comfortable calling them out on it. I'm black, and it pisses me off when ANYONE is racist.
@kurtywurty85 - If I were to take a wild guess, I'd say of all people, black folks probably have the most legitimate reasons to be "racist". This opinion is based on historic, systematic hate propaganda against blacks. Example:"If you're white your right, If you're brown stick around, If you're yellow you're mellow. IF YOU'RE BLACK GET BACK."
Two wrongs don't make a right, but not even all christians believe in turning the other cheek as christians are taught to do.
@americanpatriot00 I agree. Two wrongs don't make a right. The only people I don't condemn for racism are old people...doesn't matter what race they are. I still get really fed up when my 97 year old great grandma makes rude remarks about "foreigners" or any person who isn't white or black, but she was born in 1914 in Pennsylvania. I just have to agree to disagree. However, no one really has an excuse. To end racism, we ALL need to stop being assholes towards each other.
@kurtywurty85 - " To end racism, we ALL need to stop being assholes towards each other." SOUNDS LIKE A PERSON WHO NEEDS TO HEED THEIR OWN ADVICE. You seem like one of these people who'd prefer to blame the victims rather than the perpetraitors. Maybe you should study US History in terms of Civil Rights.
@americanpatriot00 No one has a fucking excuse for being racist. No one. I don't care what has happened to you in your life, you have absolutely no excuse. I have been a victim of racism, I am black...however, I treat people with respect, if they treat me the same way.
@americanpatriot00 No one has a legitimate reason to be racist. There's virtually always a reason behind hatred and prejudice, but it should never be considered acceptable. Racism (in all forms) degrades us as a society. It putrefies the soul and stuns personal growth.
@americanpatriot00 Apparently you weren't saying it or else I wouldn't have felt the need to clarify. Black people are not the only ones who's been opposed to slavery for centuries. This isn't a "war between races". It's a war between ignorant dumbfucks and everyone else. Which side do you want to be on?
@americanpatriot00 I'm sorry, I admit my temper got the best of me. (Racism has affected me first-hand in a very destructive way.) However, I won't apologize for being straightforward with you - any perceived sassyness was a byproduct of me trying to speak my mind. If I didn't value your opinion, I wouldn't be writing to you in the first place. My second comment was intended to spur you into disclosing where you stand on the issue of race relations today. Who do you think are the ignorants?
@MementoMario - As far as race relations today, I think there's always room for improvement. What's more? I think it's imperative that we have Broadcast TV Intermissions, informative programs, and Academic Scholastic Studies on significant contributions towards the advancement of America made by Blacks, Native Americans, Asians and Hispanics.
@americanpatriot00 Sound relatively fair. :) The following is off-topic, but there's this miniseries I've been watching recently that kind-of reminded me of this video. It's called The Feast of All Saints; you can watch it on enjoyutube2's channel if you haven't already seen it.
@americanpatriot00 You have no "more legitimate" reason at all to be racist, if you're black or white.. Especially in this day and age.
For example, it is foolish of Koreans to be racist to Japanese people for the raping and killing that occurred over 60+ years ago. Today's generation of Japanese people have NOTHING to do with that generation, so hating Japanese as a whole would simply be ridiculous. Same thing in the US. No one has a real reason to be racist, they just want something to hate.
We aren't living in a Post Racial Society. SURE! We manage to evolve enough to elect a Black Man as President, but the devil is in the details. The same racism that existed during JIM CROW still exist today. It's just more subtle and advanced. If you're one of these people who don't pay attention to detail, you'll miss it every time.
@americanpatriot00 Oh yes, getting your own Beauty section in Family Dollar/Target, and Affirmative Action in college/careers. THE HORROR!!!! There is no Jim Crow. You are imagining things.
@DaFawky - Now why am I not at all surprised by your response? I bet you're one of these people who think the "Zionist JEWS" control the media, and are responsible for everything bad in society. You believe the Holocaust is a figment of people's imagination, you think 9/11 was an inside job, ....what else?....oh, man on the moon never happened....the Kennedy assasination was a conspiracy, you believe Bigfoot roams the wilderness, UFO's, the Yeti, etc, etc, etc., I KNOW YOUR KIND.
The woman at the start of the video does not look white. The bald man I can definitely understand, but the first woman and even the one at the end? How are so many people in the world so biologically clueless that these two could go everywhere 'passing'?

What alot of white people don't realize is that Blacks (African American, African, Black Islanders, Black Europeans etc) come IN ALL SHADES.

Two dark skinned blacks an make a light skin/tan baby not uncommon at all & vice versa. My grandfather was darker than me & he had baby blue/gray eyes.

I have heard this argument that blacks cannot be racist before, allegedly because racism is an institutionalized thing and flows from those with power to those without. Yet if racism is a thing of instututions then surely it is only instituitions that can be racist. People are not governments. Moreover it is not as if there will not be rare circumstances when blacks and black prejudice has power over whites. Heck I lost my first job to that.

@waldoman7 Yes, people of all races are racist. I do think most black people that are racist against white people are that way because people discriminated against them in the first place. So, they become bitter, suspicious of everyone (even mixed people), and militant. I understand this, and I feel bad that they were treated badly. However, I don't think it gives them the right to treat others in a racist way too.

@TheSololobo - Actually it's that, and also when you use your position to keep those with whom you feel are racially inferior from getting ahead. I think that's racism. As far as prejudice?

I prefer Toy Dogs as pets over the larger breeds of dog. ALL THIS IS PREJUDICE.

@00Jackacid Many black people are complainers, and so are Native Americans (but both have reasons to sincerely complain). The fact is, dwelling on the past doesn't help any of us. We need to move on, and learn to notice the similarities all humans share, and learn to appreciate the differences we have. None of us should be forced to apologize for what generations before us did either. We just need to respect one another, and accept one another now. The past can't be changed.

@MrSpeechie2010 I agree with you about this; I don't know why the Native American person is upset. That person is feeling sorry for himself/herself (I don't know if this is a man or woman), and possibly left out. It doesn't make sense.
jamesandchante 1 month ago
@jamesandchante I doubt that person was even Native American. He sounds like a White American. He said he was Mexican on another one of these videos and he kept accusing me of talking to him "like he's a white man" like a thief with a guilty conscience. He's a poser. If he weren't White then why is he fighting so hard against Blacks and defending Whites? I'm more than sure he was White or a Mexican in denial of his European ancestry.

@00Jackacid Black people have no native blood? Bullshit. What other types of bullshit do you believe? That native people have no white blood or vice versa? You sound just like white American people trying hard, out of fear, to make themselves think they don't have any other kind of ancestry except for European. And how is someone admitting that they have some ancestry of some other kind "stealing culture"? Fear, lies, bullshit. Some people THRIVE off of it.

@00Jackacid You cannot be serious? What is worse, getting your house stolen, or your family member? Actually, no one alive now was a white man's slave. Also, your ancestor's land was stolen, but no white person stole any of your personal property. Also, Obama is not a "black" president. He is a mixed person, like me. I bet he would say this too, if everyone didn't force mixed person's to accept whatever race we are told we have to be, and what race we are told to reject.

@00Jackacid Well, I understand your point, but it has some major flaws. First, nor all black people are on welfare. Second, white people stealing your land is wrong, but white people kidnapping, beating, raping, and selling people (mostly black people, but Indians too) is much worse than stealing land. Third, if a black person who was born in America should go back to Africa, then you should go to Africa too, because all humans originated there.

@MrSpeechie2010 I agree, black people don't benefit themselves by being racists; neither do gay people benefit themselves by being heterophobic. Yet, they are black people who do not like white people, and gay people that don't like straight people anyway. Is it logical for a white person to hate everyone except for straight, white males? No, but Neonazis and KKK members do.All racism is wrong, but we cannot deny it's existence.

@MrSpeechie2010 It doesn't matter whether or not they benefit from being racist, if they hate others because of their race, they are racist! My dad was married to a black woman, and preferred black people over white people. If he was attacked by black people for just because he was a white man walking through our neighborhood when there was a gang of black men (which he says did happen), black people are racists too!

@jamesandchante I didn't deny that Black people can be racist but what I am saying is does it serve a purpose? Black people won't benefit from it in any way, shape, or form. In fact it can have HUGE negative effect on Black people as a whole if they were all racist. Yes there are Blacks that hate Whites and vice versa. There also Latinos, Asians etc who hate Whites, what purpose does it serve? Racism is wrong on all counts but in this country no one benefits from it more than White and (cont->)

Of course black people can be racist, that was a ridiculous statement of him to make. Anyone on this Earth is capable of being racist, be they black, white, purple or green. You take a white man and put him in the middle of Somalia, he'll be an ethnic minority and is just as likely to experience racism as a black man in the middle of Texas.

@TheBellefillenoire - The point you're missing is that it doesn't matter what label we choose. In America we are still considered black. 50+ years ago, we (well, those of us who's racial identity was known) still had to sit in the back of the bus and drink from the same "Colored" water fountains as all the other Black Folk under JIM CROW a.k.a.

Race stuff is stupid. There's no "pure race". People have moved around Earth for 1000s of years. For example someone saying they're "all white", or all anything else, isn't. Look at the people not "white" from Africa and Asia who have gone into Europe. Prehistoric migrations, Rome and Greece forcefully taking people there or people going there voluntarily, Genghis Khan, Moorish invasion (lasted 500 years!), 1400s-1800s slave trade, etc. So yes, Europeans have non-white ancestors. Its a fact.
docdoom187 4 months ago
My mother's father's mother and both of her parents were black cherokees (not officially part of a tribe), and there's a line of native ancestry going into the 1700s. On that same side I have a white greatX3 grandfather. No records on my father's side but his mother/grandmother are clearly black-indians (native eyes/hair and black+native features). And there are light-skinned people (means white ancestry) on both sides of my family, yet I'm still called "black"? That's how things are in America.
docdoom187 4 months ago
Because of the One Drop Rule (when it was officially in effect in the slave days, and in the modern days when the habit of using it was still thought to be necessary) African Americans are a very diverse group of people, which is why you have "black" people with DNA racial percentages of african, european, and native american, and skin tones and other features all over the map in varying degrees. Some "black" people might even be more white than black because of this but they dont even know it.
docdoom187 4 months ago
The One Drop Rule (from slavery days) dictated that anyone part black was to be called black, even if they were part white or Native (unless they were an official tribal member). Even after this racist rule became TECHNICALLY obsolete, the idea is still around because old habits in America are hard to break. This is why biracial people are usually still called black.

@docdoom187 Why are we letting white people tell us what race we are anyway??! White people said black people were monkeys at one time. Should we now claim to be monkeys because of this? Of course not! So, if I am black, white, and Native, why must I pick just one? I don't always claim I'm Native American, because my mother never had me officially registered into the tribe. But, I am all three races.
jamesandchante 1 month ago
@jamesandchante You make a good point. I also read your other recent comments. Yes, people have twisted views that are not rooted in simply accepting reality. The older people who don't want to admit any other ancestry is due to fear and a deep kind of resentment towards another group of people. Black men who seemingly only like white girls is sometimes more than just a simple "fetish". Sometimes it's because they think all black women act like the ugly, negative stereotype.
