  • I was thoroughly confused with myself during this scene. I steadily agreed with him, of course not to the point of saying it's "Nigger Bullshit." Saying "This black thing, is just as good as this white thing," doesn't denounce racism at all. If we truly denounced racism, we would pick these books on the book itself, not who wrote it.  Is this supposed to be evoked to the audience? I feel that his dad is absolutely correct about most things... and I'm Asian...

  • I am goin to say this simply, in Britain the white people are the niggers! we get treat like second class citizens in our own country whilst blacks, muslims and eastern europeans get prioritised with housin, healthcare etc, muslims are allowed to chant disgustin things at our soldiers comin bk from Afghan and we get arrested if we retalliate, we let these cultures walk all over us, England doesnt fuckin exist anymore, I didn't used to be racist but now I am COZ I AM SO FUCKIN PISSED OFF!

  • Luis Suarez should sit down with John terry and watch this move. :o).

  • The dad is right in everything he says, but nazism is a very wrong mentality to have

  • @746c

    However Nazism and the belief in White Supremacy are two different things.

  • People don't realise that there is racism everywhere, there is too much focus on racism towards black people

    White people are the only people who care about racism.

    Racism is pathetic, ignorant and stupid.

    But I am just saying. There is racism in every race

  • Can someone please describe 'affirmative action' for me (without racist comments), I don't think we've ever had it in the UK.

  • @MrPessimisticrealist It's an attempt to correct a problem that doesn't exist. It takes the false assumption that differences in outcomes between the races can only be attributed to "racism," and then, to "correct" the situation, standards are lowered either uniformly or specifically for the "discriminated against" group, etc. For example if a white applicant scores an 85 on a pre-employment test and a black applicant a 75, the black applicant might get the job offer.

  • @MaximusRelaximus Ah i see, so its the sympathy vote. I don't think that really happens here, the cheaper or more experienced labour gets the job, not designated on colour. I can understand the basis of the idea, but from what i've learnt from research the idea and the action taken don't really go hand in hand. Cheers for that mate!

  • @MrPessimisticrealist "Sympathy vote?" What in the flaming pits of hell are you even talking about? Forgetting that profound non-sequitur for a moment...what you think happens here is irrelevant; what matters is what actually happens. And there's absolutely zero debate that this exact situation occurs constantly. Its reality is not even slightly controversial.

  • This movie wanted to portray any questioning of affirmative action as the rantings of a racist. That's why they told him to say nigger bullshit at the end of this thoughtful argument.

  • Boy Meets World FTW !!! Now all we need is Corey and Shawn there with shaved heads wearing swastikas LOL XD

  • It still think affirmative action is nigger bullshit.

  • Affirmative action programs are priviledges given to negros, they're not "rights" something that whites have. A priviledge can be taken away "rights" cannot be taken away only if you consent to it. By accepting affirmative action programs and even sect-8,welfare,EBT, you have to surrender "rights" for priviledges.

  • @dannyboyyy1000 If people don't have the qualifications they won't even get accepted for an interview. Are you a idiot or a liar?

  • @pandasftuw ---blocks the clueless youtuber---

  • @dannyboyyy1000 Okay try applying for a doctors job with a medical degree by your logic if I tan for a bit I'll get it. Do you really believe people are stupid enough to buy the lies you are selling. what a sad view of the world you must have. The false-victimization being portrayed here is pathetic, you are basically taking the illogical and hateful stance of: hey, that’s not fair you got the same amount as me”?

  • This is how hate is bred, on all sides.

  • This is stupid. Sorry but it is. There are reasons for opposing affirmative action. Why should someone lose their job for a less qualified person based on race. If I lost my job because of it then I would resent it a lot. I wonder if it is trying to discredit the opposition by putting it in the mouth of someone who says "nigger" every second sentence.

  • @Kdanc86 Exactly! Guilt by association. If you oppose something as obviously destructive and ridiculous as affirmative action then you must be a Nazi Racist! The Communists in Lenin's time would have called your opinions counter revolutionary. How dare you not roll over and die!

  • I thought things shouldnt be based on race? oh well its ok when its in a black persons favor.... or actually an other race than whites. That is pure racism. and thats wrong

  • what a big deal race use to be, now everybody is having sexual intercource with each other and posting it on the websites similiar to this one. africans have larger scrotums and politicians tend to be mainly white, get over it.

  • This was my no.1 gripe with an otherwise masterful film. It equates opposition to affirmative action as racism. Everything the dad says up until "nigger bullshit" is correct.

  • @JoeJC My thoughts exactly.

    They could've done the dialogue differently, or not have it at all.

    People don't become a neo-nazi because their dad talks about affirmitive action. Now THAT's nigger bullshit xD

  • Corey Matthews would be proud to see his dad take on every race in America ... LMAO

  • Then you add that to social poverty, or adolescent isolated youths, or almost any type of upset in the world (within reason) and BAM! FREAKING RACISM!

  • The final touch is to add the REAL truth. Actual facts that can be checked up on.

    "Walter Chamberlain is an example of acceptance of racism against white people. He was attacked just for being white. (guy said he didn't believe it was a racially motivated attack)

    After an attack or death of a black figure, there is always race riots, ie: MLK JR, Rodney King, Malcolm X

    Black males make up 35.4 percent of the jail population but they make up less than 10 percent of the overall U.S population.

  • @kdreamland They're 12.5%, so that's higher than 10% not less.

  • Then you gotta add a little of the 'truth', or what SOUNDS like the truth anyway.

    "In L.A., there were over 100 offences of racial incidents against white people last year. The number is rising every year.

    The only reason Obama got elected president, is because there was a 500% increase in votes from Black minorities."

    Rap music contains a lot of hatred and racism against white people, but it is promoted by the media and oil companies."

    See what's happening here?

  • Now what you do is extend those sentences.

    "White people used to make up 35% of the population 100 years ago, Now they only make up 10%, and it's still dropping. They will be virtually extinct in 5 years.

    There's a Black ~Pride day, but no White Pride day. Black people get more social security than white people.

    Black people make up 99% of the prison population. By the time they are 21, the average black man will have committed over 25 offences."

    Just keep building from there.

  • @kdreamland you forget where the black people came from, oh wait, they were brought here to america for slavery

    you also forget that whites arent the native peoples of the Americas, real natives were almost wiped out and now only some of them exist.

    furthermore, america took over half of mexico hence a lot of american land is actually native mexico, and you wonder where all the mexicans came from

    black, white, it doesnt matter, theres only one race, the human race

  • @andyx1205 What the??? S'wrong with you? Did you read all of my comments below? I was stating how to 'make' racism. How to get people to hate another race. I wasn't trying to ACTUALLY be racist myself. I was showing HOW people start hating each other. That's why my first comment says "spew a load of ignorant bs" Those 'facts' about an increase of 500% voters? BS i made up myself.

  • @andyx1205 dont forget those slaves brought here were already slaves in africa. and the only reason they went to africa to get slaves were because white slaves were too expensive

  • Do you know how to create racism?

    Spew a lot of ignorant bs, such as:

    "THE GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU! WHITE PEOPLE WILL BE EXTINCT IN 5 YEARS!

    BLACK PEOPLE GET A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AVERAGE APIECE! WHITE MAN GETS ONLY $10!

    BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS CAUSE TROUBLE AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING RIGHT!" cont.

  • the guy is right

  • I think its funny how people think this is pure racism, the two characters both make very valid points in this scene. Btw this is one badass movie because of all the points the movie tries to make.

  • @Zkimball777 it's our not are.... maybe that's why you can't get a job...

  • I like the part when he said "nigger bullshit"

  • Yes there are benefits to a more diverse work force or even student body, and sure he could have worded it much better and offended less people but i have to agree that in america it should be the best person gets the job or scholarship.

  • @Jcanning2011 I'm not white and I'm not offended. We're not fragile little flowers to get offended over a guy speaking his mind. Most of what he said upto 'niggerbullshit" was correct anyways.

  • "Reverse racism"??? Its racism, full stop.

  • I never thought I'd see the guy who played the dad on "Boy Meets World" say "Nigger bullshit".....lol

  • @DustinThePooper Acting is great :D

  • a great actor according to me:a guy who you could put in the same movie as a teen and as an adult,as if they're actually years apart: Edward Norton!!

  • This is a fine piece of propaganda. Dont tell your kids what bullcrap Afirmative Action is or they will become a Nazi, and end up raped in prison.

  • @GermanJudah It has nothing to do with propaganda, it does show the father has good intentions and isn't a total racist. Everyone is a racist to an extent. It is basically showing a seed of hate planted into a couple of youngsters, it shows how the father could have said it to his kids a different way. I hope you have seen the whole movie before judging it.

  • @gajda1984 so the father isnt a racist.

  • @lordvoldemort578 I don't know, I believe David Mckenna is leaving that up to the audience to percieve. If you ask me, the word "nigger" is a pretty strong word. But I don't think he is an all out racist, I think is more prejudiced than racist. I also percieve that it was passed down to him from HIS parents and the era he grew up in. But NOT racist like Derek turned out after his father was killed.

  • @gajda1984 That's what I believed He likes basketball and he believes In best man for the job which could be white,purple or black, Then on the other hand racists sum up their whole argument with pretty much saying :I hate niggers.I don't know its interesting though.

  • @lordvoldemort578 black and white people as well as everyone else I think are naturally prejudiced. that is something that can either turn into racism or not. i guess people as a whole need to see the good in all people instead of looking at the bad all the time, that is exactly the message of the film.

  • Don't worry about the video, even though they made the day Archie Bunker at the end.. Supporters of "Affirmative Action" should enjoy it while it lasts. It's going "bye bye" in the near future. It's already on its way out (see recent court cases). A.A. is yet another bad idea who's time has come.........and gone to the scrap heap of history..

  • Man I'm really sick of seeing the term "reverse racism" (it's in the video description). Racism is racism. People of all races are capable of being racist and have been racist.

  • Why do we have Affirmative action? Why because 400 hundred years of slavery, rape and murder of Blacks caused a mental inferiority and along with a haunting and brutal society that rejected them for years- all on some paranoid assumptions and dysfunctional systems that was always to put them down.. These people who have been slaved for 400 years have aftermath effects that is so deep and complicated.. They need any boost or reinforcement they can get from anywhere.

  • @businesseast blacks were enslaved in africa before they were sold here. and they weren't enslaved for 400 years here in america, it was 250 years: from 1615-1865 (yeah there were racist ideals/practices after the emancipation proclamation up until the civil rights movement, but black americans were by no stretch of the imagination 'slaves' during this point) Using a 250 year time period of enslavement followed by "only" 150 years of freedom as justification for AA is just complete BULLSHIT.

  • @cliffabrown "but black americans were by no stretch of the imagination 'slaves' during this point" can you explain further thanx

  • @balancedeath black americans, after they were freed from slavery in 1865, were no longer "slaves" by any means. they were an oppressed people who were treated unfairly, but, by definition, they were ABSOLUTELY NOT slaves. "by any stretch of the imagination" = "however you look at it." So another way of putting it would be "black americans, no matter how you look at it, were not slaves after the emancipation proclamation."

  • @cliffabrown by law the enslaved were indeed manumitted, however that does not discount the fact that most still live under slave conditions i.e. slave codes, unfair legal practices like lynching which violates due process/equal protection, and so on), share cropping (widely regarded as legal slavery), and the list goes on and on. there is a huge difference between de facto and de jure(which u speak of) slavery

  • @cliffabrown read your history the magnitude of american slavery was unparalleled. Millions of west Africans were put to slavery. Slavery is a form of WARFARE and the practices used by whites effected the whole world thats no lie. Whites used warfare practices on Native american such as killing of the buffalo to starve the natives. By the way i said 400 years becuase even malcom x called jim crow slavery in 1961. You just pray your not BLACK. Even in your Nightmares would u like to be BLACK

  • @businesseast wrong! The blacks we got from Africa were already enslaved by there own people. We just simply bought them for free labor off there slave masters (who were muslims).

    Also the Indians got PWNED for obvouse reasons. A primitive rain dancing society who had yet to invent the wheel vs. A highly industrialized society who knows how to forge medal. Who do you think is going to win?

  • @cliffabrown read your history the magnitude of american slavery was unparalleled. Millions of west Africans were put to slavery. Slavery is a form of WARFARE and the practices used by whites effected the whole world thats no lie. Whites used warfare practices on Native american such as killing of the buffalo to starve the natives. By the way i said 400 years becuase even malcom x called jim crow slavery in 1961.

  • @businesseast i could give a fuck less WHAT that NIGGER malcolm x considered slavery. Malcolm x was also quoted as saying "The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing" in response to a plane crash, and he is also quoted multiple times as calling white people "the devil." I could give a fuck less what that nigger had to say, he was as racist as the white people he preached against. If you want to quote someone with merit, quote MLK jr.

  • @cliffabrown lol actually MLK has even less merit than Malcolm X. MLK was a communist controlled by the Jew Stanley Levison. He was also a plagiarist and a fraud as well a sexual degenerate with the morals of an alley cat. Hoover's FBI tape recording of King's motel room revealed him as having sex with two white prostitutes cheating on his wife and screaming out "I'm not a nigger tonight!" His real name isn't even Martin, its Michael. The I have a dream speech was stolen from another black.

  • @businesseast And also, what you're failing to realize is that BLACKS WERE THE ONES THAT SOLD OTHER BLACKS INTO SLAVERY. It wasn't a couple wicked white men rounding up masses of black people that were complacent to move thousands of miles away to work in forced labor. NO, it was black people, in Africa, selling their own people as slaves to the "wicked white man." I don't know what kind of bullshit propaganda you've been force fed, but you probably learned it in a mostly black PUBLIC SCHOOL

  • @businesseast and also, slaves coming into america from africa actually had a better standard of living once they arrived here. black slaves had protectionist laws, whereas white "indentured servants" (slaves) in Europe and America had no such kind of luxury. the white "indentured servants" of this time actually suffered a much worse standard of living than the black slaves of the same period, as did the white workers working in industrial factories who also had no protectionist laws.

  • @businesseast Sorry if i dont take my history from bullshit like Alex Halley's "Roots", i take my history from documents verified as actual FACT instead of mostly fictional stories like "Roots." People like you think the rest of the country owes black people a favor for what happened, which is BULLSHIT. My ancestors didn't own slaves, the ones that lived in the US during the time of slavery were POOR farmers living in the ozarks. so what the fuck so i owe black americans? NOTHING

  • Sad cause this is true!! LOL

    But what pissed me off is how they made him racist at the end... that is so stupid, I am not even white and I know Affirmative action is crap. Sure end discrimination, but hire people based who qualifies more for the job. Its 2011 AA should be canceled, well at least after I get accepted as a minority to the university of my choice! LOL!!!

  • This is an Archie Bunker moment. They had to have the critic of Affimative Action be a KKK moron becuase he was making too much sense when speaking out against Affirmative Action.

  • Everything he said is a fact.

  • Nigger bullshit. Damn straight. Why do you think life seems to get shittier and shittier for Whites? Because we gave up on ourselves. We don't assert ourselves. We're too goddamn nice.

    We owe it to ourselves to be "white supremacist." Why not? It's true, isn't it?

  • Affirmative Action is coercive Racism.

  • i wish i had a dad who could have talked like that to me

  • It is pretty awesome being Mexican and making it to ivy league schools. Most people think you are there due to affirmative action until you ace every test possible. My brother is a political science major at Berkeley & I'm a math major! No help, just hard work!

  • @TeeEye84Plus Think of all the stupid mexicans who use the system to their advantage. Wouldn't you rather have people look at you as just another student who worked hard? 

  • Affirmative action is racist, but it is a small taste of what people of color go through everyday.

  • I remember when I first saw this scene, I was shocked to see that Derek's father was the starting point.

  • AA is straight racism. Never give any job to any person who doesn't deserve it. We all see how blacks act in school, in the street, anywhere in public. Do you really want that garbage of society working side by side with you.? Especially knowing that the ape had no qualifications to get he job in the first place?That they chose him above others that were more qualified?

  • Affirmative action was put in place at time when it may have been needed. Its not anymore. Affirmative action is legalized discrimination. End discrimination...stop affirmative action.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheCaliCapitalist How did you know the asian got turned down because of his race????

  • Native son was actually a good book...

  • Comment removed

  • @Lottielov3n Then I suppose the black man with the lower test scores can just go find another firehouse. He "knows his stuff well enough," you say, but he's NOT the most qualified. That's the whole idea of affirmative action. White men are turned away from jobs because less qualified blacks "deserve" it for all they've gone through. Here's something to think about: What does race tell you about what someone has gone through? Nothing. Affirmative action itself is racism and reverse-discrimination

  • So this explains how Obama is president. It all makes sense now.

  • lol, well alot of people were sick of old white dudes doing the same thing every presidency. so it was probably racily influenced in that sense too

  • sounds alot like how obama got in the white house

  • @4flyingpickles or it could be the fact that sarah palin was on the other team.

  • @MrVincentR yea but alot of black people dont watch the news so they wouldnt know about her unless a homeboy started bitchin.

  • @4flyingpickles And you totally didn't get the point of this great movie.

  • Affirmative Action: fighting racism with racism!

  • Affirmative action exists in the school system.

  • @valkiron11

    if you'd ever like to know why or part of the reason it came into existence I recommend you do a search here on you tube for: Yuri Bezmenov; a former KGB agent that explains the how communist propaganda made its way and infiltrated the western world

  • @bbqbeefrib I'm 18 and I've had every kind of teacher there is. The ONLY kind of teacher I have ever felt WAY smarter than was a young, black female teacher. I swear, these women make Michelle Obama look like Einstein. They speak in vernacular all the time, which gets very annoying. They tend to socialize with the students more often than actually teaching them. It's a damn shame.

  • @valkiron11

    I don't doubt that for a minute. Keep an open mind, and always seek the truth.

  • in some states, people arent hired on as cops because they score too high on the tests, and it has nothing to do with race. certain police departments dont want their cops to be too intelligent, because the smarter you are, the more you question, and the more likely you are to deviate from established procedures, etc.--thats their rationale anyway. so those two cops may have been hired, not because they were black, but because the white guy was just too smart to be a cop in general.

  • The real racists are people who advocate "cultural diversity" and insist that we're all the same.

  • Black people never asked for white people's help...why are all these white emotional pussies trying to say that blacks need help? They're the real racists, because they are claiming that blacks are inferior and need help. I'm white BTW.

  • leave it up to a cop to brain wash and mess up kids

  • The difference between the Whites, Japanese and Chinese, Japanese and Chinese have a hive mind mentality, where whites are individualists and Whites have a vastly greater capacity for original thought, where the asianic mind is virtually incapable of original thought.

  • @Vengencelll like it or not... jesus was a jew.... mother mary and father joseph were born jews, that makes jesus a jew. he came out of mary's womb. he is biologically a jew. but then he made his people christians.... but of jewish descent. so i dont know what you're saying. if you cant even follow that mary and joseph was a jew. you must be blinded by reading something other than the bible. maybe its a fake bible. maybe its the koran or something.

  • @youngb1ood Christ was not a jew, because jews are mongrels born of fornication, therefore it would be impossible for Christ to be a Jew, because the Word of GOD condemns mongrelization, and race mixing.

  • @youngb1ood Jesus abhorred and denounced "Pharisaism"; hence the words, "Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites, Ye Serpents, Ye Generation of Vipers".

  • @youngb1ood Jesus Christ Was Not A Jew: Does this shock you? We certainly hope it does. For it is time that Christians woke up to the fact that they have been brainwashed by the Jews with the "big lie technique" to the falsehood that Christ was a Jew.

  • @youngb1ood Ninety‑five percent of the people that we know as Jews today, are mongrels; they are a product of the amalgamation of many races. The majority of the Jews are Asiatics, of Mongolian, stock, the descendants of the tribes of Khazars of Russia who accepted Judaism in 740 A.D.

  • @youngb1ood They are the descendants of Cain; No racial Jew is an Israelite. That's right, we repeat, NO RACIAL JEW IS AN ISRAELITE. The Bible itself identifies the Jews as the seed of Cain thereby identfying Satan as their father. (John 8:44)

  • The Asian will copy, the Japanese may innovate, the Chinese cant even copy well, let alone innovate,. there bloody hopeless, just look at the crap they turn out, and try to force it onto us as products, but the true creative genius on this planet is possessed by the white race, the highest I.Q. is possessed by the various races of Europe.

  • You will find that Almost all; indeed perhaps all the technology they have was first conceived in the mind of a white person. If you look up and you Trace the history of that technology you’ll see it came from a white persons imagination.

  • The European is intellectually superior .And even without looking at the science, you can determine that by simply looking at the achievements. The European has created almost every piece of technology in the world today. And of course the simpletons will say Oh but “Look at the Japanese” Look at all the wonderful things they've done, “look at the Chinese”. Well if you actually do look at them, and you say ok ,what is this piece of technology, where did it come from?

  • @Vengencelll Are you serious? What about Arabic technologies and architecture? Mediterranean? Chinese strides in chemistry? Japanese strides in electronics?

    The Arabic/Mediterranean world was originally at the top, intellectually. It wasn't until colonizing these areas that white countries actually learned most of those technologies.

    I'm white, btw

  • @redmtal Go ask your rabbi father to teach you some more lies that are written in your TALMUD: Judaism's Holiest Book .A book written by SATAN.

  • Affirmative Action is a form of coercive racism.

  • Comment removed

  • @WTFOVER1901 Nope, danny cries right after his dad dies..... and in an hour he will watch the sun rise, blah blah blah

  • what will happen when whites become a minority in the U.S.? will they get a free hand-out then, and the new majority not get it? affirmative action needs to be abolished; it is discriminatory and backwards. we need to evolve as people and treat people equally, not by race or color, otherwise we will never advance as a culture of racist idiots.

  • I am all for giving folks a chance to shine, that they otherwise may not have gotten. HOWEVER, they have to PUT FORTH THE EFFORT. Not simply handed to them for free. You should get things in life based on your own merit, skill sets, character and integrity. I dont think its fair to lose your job to someone who cant read AND does not put forth any effort.

    Would you want a surgeon operating on you who was handed a degree simply because of his race AND not qualifications? heh, let me die

  • Truth hurts!..

  • What brought down an otherwise brilliant film was how the director/writer etc. completely equates opposition to "positive" discrimination with racism.

  • this is a powerful scene done well by Willaim Russ, and even though his character clearly has a racist undertone which could you lead you to belive thats his only purpose of convincing his son to see things like he does, you can't help but agree with him atleast a little bit even if you don't like it.

  • i aggre with what the dad says, but I'm not a kkk douchebag. I'm actually liberal. the problem is when you mix that racist junk with anti-affirmative action.

  • @SanguineBullet667: That's the point of the scene. Anti-affirmative action is frequently shaped by racist/white supremacist rhetoric. Like many whites, the father in the film ASSUMES that white men lost their jobs to "less qualified" black applications. That racist assumption/stereotype that is belied by historical and present day fact. The vast majority of high & middle income jobs are occupied by white men, in part, b/c of preferential racial hiring/discrimination that advantages white men.

  • @Sanguine: CONTD #2 -- read Tim Wise's book on Affirmative Action, or view his speeches on youtube. The assumption that a person of color is under-qualified/less qualified than a white applicant, that a person of color "stole" a job from a white person is racist. Aff action policies were designed & implemented by Republican Pres. Richard Nixon's administration, quotas only applied to institutions (schools, businesses, etc) w/ a history of discriminating against white women and people of color.

  • @Sanguine: CONTD#3 -- FACT: the primary beneficiaries of Aff Action are WHITE WOMEN, not people of color! How can Aff Action be racist, if it has helped mostly white women? Want Aff Action to help poor white men, then pursue that change in the policy, rather than abolish Aff Action (which is rarely used anyway &) meant to address the very real problem of racism & sexism in the U.S. In fact, only 1/4th of 1% of all undergrad scholarships nationwide are set aside for people of color.

  • @knowyourenemy1 1/4th of 1 percent? Look at any major university especially ones like Ohio state and Indiana U. There are SOOOOO many "ghetto" uneducated black people at both of those schools and dont even try to tell me they got there without a scholarship or because they had good grades! Dont try and tell me im racist, this is just what ive heard from friends

  • @APontiacof455cubes I go to Rutgers University, my parents went there and it was a fine place to be educated. Now all it is are uneducated ignorant (or ig-nant) hood rats that got into that school because affirmative action wanted to take them out of Newark NJ.

  • @Sanguine: CONTD#4 -- even w/ that money set aside, the overwhelming majority of college/univ students are white middle/upper class. People of color are disproportionately poor, live in more severe poverty than poor whites, most attend under-funded, over-crowded schools, are disproportionately arrested & imprisoned for crimes mostly whites commit (73% of drug users are white, most drug dealers are white, most violent crimes are committed by white men -- see State Dept statistics)...

  • @Sanguine:CONTD#5 -- these racist-classist inequalities are HISTORICAL, INSTITUTIONALIZED -- not people of colors' creation. GOOGLE "A Quite Deliberate Failure" & "Con-fucian Ethic: How Whites Use Asians to Further Anti-Black Racism" (Tim Wise's short, well researched essays. Wise = white anti-racist; brilliant). READ: Ira Katznelson's When Affirmative Action Was White: The Untold History of Racial Inequality in America -- on root of today's racial wealth gap in post-WW2 era

  • @knowyourenemy1 You can't punish a man for what his grandfather has done.

  • @SanguineBullet667

    The KKK are liberals, and were started by democrats. Affirmative action is bullshit, and so is having a course about "black literature." People should read great literature, regardless of the color of the writer or story. To even have a genre called "black literature" is entirely segregational within itself. I'm going to twist around a famous MLK quote, "We should judge a book by the content of it's pages, and not the color of it's author."

  • @GobbleYouUp HAHAHA are you retarded? The KKK are the most conservative group in all of America

  • @SanguineBullet667 Most Conservative my ass. They sound like leftists dressed in conserative attire. They're as much Jihadist apologists as Michael Moore, CAIR, Code Pink, etc are if not more so. Please don't insult my intelligence by claiming they're "conserative"

  • @SanguineBullet667  i understand what youre trying to say, but that my friend, is bullshit. theyre the people you see on the news, what no one sees or hears about is what goes on at night

    The south is not liberal.

  • @SanguineBullet667 Since when does being against affirmative action mean you have to be a "kkk douchebag"? I was never aware of that.

  • @yurismir1 it's the stereotype

  • @SanguineBullet667 Okay. Well that's a bad stereotype. I didn't know about it. I agreed with everything the dad said too until the end and I'm also not a KKK member. I wouldn't call myself a liberal either though. How do you respond so quickly to comments?

  • @yurismir1 random chance lol

  • Affirmative action is fucking crap and must be abolished. I was once passed up for a job when my family desperately needed money for some black girl who was unqualified and worked poorly. A friend of mine who knew the manager confirmed that it was an affirmative action hire. Its crap, the company lost production and I was unable to make a living because the corporation was more worried about political correctness than fairness. It fucking makes me sick.

  • @Kriegsmariner88 Well crying on youtube wont change that. But I hate AA. Its racist to everyone involved. The blacks who benefit from it lose legitimacy and whites who are more qualified get passed over. Its unfair to everyone. The problem is our past when racism was a greater issue than it is now. AA shouldnt be in the work force. It should be in education and should be based on financial need not race. And im not a white guy. im black.

  • @Kriegsmariner88 Whites prefer to hire whites even when other ethnicities are more qualified. Look at most CEOs and they are predominantly white. This doesn't make any sense because academically asians are superior to whites.

  • @jaymoore299 well i'd say white are equal to asians just look at albert einstein

  • It's weird that the dad from "Boy Meets World" is a racist!! HOLY SHIT!!

  • And I think this is ridiculous. Last time I checked when this country was founded, if you were black you weren't getting the job or any job.

  • Thumbs up if you think mrhonkee is a retarded racist.

  • @member5738 Just about to say the same thing.

  • I do believe that affirmative action does not work. "Best man for the job." America cannot fight racism with racism.

  • IS THIS TRUE??? youtube.com/watch?v=3HAf-OvB77­o

  • EVAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

  • The father made a huge amount of sense, and he had my sympathies until he uttered the phrase "nigger bullshit." Still, affirmative action is racist and should be outlawed.

  • AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS BAADDDDD

  • I don't agree or approve of affirmative action, handouts, and welfare. My race should learn to get educated and suppport themselves, rather than the governments tax dollars doing it for them.

  • @IntelligentBlackMale I agree 100% treating someone diffrent and giving them the job just because of there skin colour is exactly what we should not be doing because it means we are treating them diffrent and that is the whole reason the goverment started affirmative acton.

  • @corey2112 Yes, thats right. Each time I mention this to others, they label me an Uncle Tom.

  • Affirmative action is a necessary evil to balance out against legacy admission system and institutional racism. If underqualified children of whites get easier access to universities so should underqualified children of the poor to balance it out.

  • @IntelligentBlackMale I come from a privileged city, mostly white, some mixed. Very tolerant, but thats beside the point, i've also volunteered at poorer schools like in Oakland or Richmond, the gap in proper education is staggering, im proud of the government trying to even the scales for all minorities in low income cities trying to make it here.
