Some white people are racist so we all have to be punnished.
All black people are racists, and they get to yell "cracker" and "white boy" at everyone and nobody can say shit to them cuz otherwise here comes the media
So you judge on the act of a small minority within that particular race, a white just because some whites owned slaves hundreds of years ago automatically makes him the target of your karma. You take a offense you weren't alive to be offended for and you blame whites for an offense they havent hadnt given. Wanda you're the racist
Ok we get it two hundred years ago, we used black people as slaves and still today there is still racism going on and its terrible. But when a white person at Target won't return your item because you don"t have a receipt, that isn't racism... so don't pull the race card everytime something doesn't go your way
@DungbeetleXL5000 You are only half true. And completely wrong if you think that race is a non issue. Generational poverty and lack of education, lack community resources, the price of real estate, environmental inequality. Are just some of the ways in which money is racialized. Integrated neighborhood have lower property values just because some wont move into neighborhoods with minorities. Clauses in work contracts prohibiting ethnic hair and features. Class warfare is only one factor.
I'm white, why do I deserve to be "punished"? The vast majority of white people DON'T have ancestors who owned slaves. Why should I have bad "karma" simply because I have white skin?
This Wanda Sykes likes to hide behind her blanket of associating all white people with racism. She doesn't see the hypocrisy in that. It is in fact racism to group all white people together and tell us we need to suffer simply because a minority of us did something wrong.
@EllysaE My point is why are white people held accountable for the slave history, when it has existed for thousands of years, and has been committed by every race. Where are black people asking reparations from other black people?
@imRyRy Not that it's right, but the TransAtlantic Slave trade was about a million times grander and systematic than slavery in other times. It racialized an entire continent of people as less than human. It displaced millions of Africans to the Americas and west indies. Slavery before hand was not nearly as devastating. Thats why. Its not fair, but white men especially enjoy the social benefits and generational wealth of being white. Other races enjoy generational poverty and lack of education.
@Jon12213 50% of welfare recipients are white. Are you telling me a poor white person is receiving "KARMA" when a black person is racist towards him? I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE 10% OF WHITE AMERICANS THAT OWNED SLAVES. It is not "karma" as you and Wanda say. Stop looking at people as being this or that race.
Oh, and how would you know how bad slavery was for hundreds of thousands of years before America? It's quite obvious you pulled that out of your ass.
@imRyRy look you dumb azz...I fckin study this shyt so I know what I'm talking about. I never mentioned Karma you dumbass I was just saying why The TransAtlantic Slave trade was different.
I know white people make up 50% of welfare recipient oh cause maybe most of the fuckin US is white. But guess who we see on TV when its time to talk about welfare? not very many white people.
@imRyRy Despite the poor grammar and sentence structure of your last comment I wont call you a dumbass, but I will get of here. I actually have a life. Continue jacking if you'd like. Farewell.
The reverse racism comes in when whites are not allowed to respond to the criticism. We can talk about racism; a term coined by communist Leon Trotsky following the classic divide and conquer tactic, reformulated to it's maximum effect by the Frankfort school, formulated into a virtual religion called Liberation Theology, and politicized by Sal Alinsky; but, this time it's going to be a two-way discussion.
Karma is used wrong here. Karma means the person who DIRECTLY did something negative to a black person gets that action back. No white person for the past 200 years has had a slave and most of the white people in the country now are Irish, Italian, etc. and weren't even in the country until the 1920's, sometimes later. So no, karma would mean the actual white slave holders get taken as slaves by the very black people who got enslaved. Another dumb black woman.
@LeBaoBeatha I am sorry but you have self esteem issues and no amount of arguing on youtube is going to help. The only places in the world that White culture is not accepted as gold are probably in the middle east and in China. Nobody has denied you anything but yourself, stop blaming brown people for your own self hate. Most white people are quite fine with the status quo and being defined as the default culture, what is your problem? LOL.
@Danaetp Mmhm. So YOU want things to stay how they are? I'm not fine with being defined as the default culture, because culture is different everywhere. To say that white culture is just some vague cover-all for everyone who isn't of color is ridiculous. Like any other teenage girl, I used to have major self-esteem issues, but I've managed to get over them. I just noticed how wrong it is that I had to in the first place. I don't blame "brown people", I blame pressure for accountability.
@LeBaoBeatha Well sure, you're not fine when being held accountable for not considering your privilege as a white person. However, and I will emphasize this *you still benefit from colonization*. If you're wondering what privileges you have over nonwhite people, it's probably a good idea to look up unpacking the knapsack. Use your power in the status quo to challenge it instead of reinforce it.
@bondageandflowers You obviously haven't taken into consideration anything that I've said. No matter what I say to you, you will refuse it and ignore my points. You don't want to believe me, and I guess that's fine. Don't if you don't want to. Go ahead and repeat what you've said again and again. That's all Danaetp and you are doing. Struggle is nothing new. The Irish were before you and women before them and so on. Consider the privilege you enjoy right now.
@LeBaoBeatha basically went and took everything out of derailing for dummies. Maybe you should google that term sometime and find out how not original your arguments are when it comes to oppression. What I mean is that you're really not arguing anything new here, you're basically saying "Look, can you just calm down and accept the status quo and keep things the way they are?"
@bondageandflowers You're kidding right? I presented valid points of conversation after confirming Danaetp's concerns. I didn't derail in any way. What you just did though WAS derailing. You brushed me aside trying to dismiss everything I've said. Projection much? And I certainly haven't urged anyone to accept anything. As a matter of fact, I've stated that I don't like how things are now.
Oh and this? "Nobody has denied you anything but yourself, stop blaming brown people for your own self hate."
Boy does this sound similar. Isn't this exactly what every person of color in the US who hides behind slavery and racism as an excuse not to work hard use? Why yes it is! You don't get that job? Racist boss. You don't make the team? Racist coach. You don't make the grade? Racist teacher. Did anyone ever stop and think that maybe they just weren't -->
--> deserving of it, or that there was someone else more qualified? Oh god no! That would make them an uncle tom. Everyone in the world who doesn't just give you what you want must be doing it because they hate you.
I'm white, and I have done nothing to any other race. And I deserve to be treated unfairly apparently? None of my ancestors owned slaves, but even if they did, I am not my ancestor. Wanda can go suck a fat one, racist pig. How hypocritical of her to declare white people need to be treated unfairly simply because the color of their skin.
@imRyRy You sound just like the people she's describing in this video. You're afraid of experiencing what others have experienced for HUNDREDS of years (which you probably never will) so you cry about 'reverse racism'.
@imRyRy It's not about treating white people unfairly. White people have always had the upperhand - the power, and people of color have been disadvantaged. Programs are starting to be created to remedy this problem of inherent disadvantage, which is a result of years and years of building hatred, but this is accused of being "reverse racism". I'll send you a link to a comic that illustrates the point very well.
@imRyRy People of colour have to live with the repercussions of colonialism and slavery. Do you experience institutional racism? Are you targeted by the justice system due to race? Ostracized because of skin colour? Lack of opportunities? Negative representation in the media? Do you think it's a coincidence that countries with brown populations are continuously vilified? Yeah, I think I would choose the threat of being disliked because of supremacy than actually being a victim of it.
Minorities have to suffer due to the legacy of slavery and supremacist ideology, but some white people want to evade the legacy and say "I didn't have any slaves!". If white people don't want to inherit the damage of your ancestors, then stop supremacy. The irony is anything that is done to stop supremacy and encourage equal footing is called 'reverse racism'. I think many of you are confused.
@Danaetp You don't understand. You cannot group me with slave owners simply because they are white. I should not be punished for anything, or be labeled as being part of the "supremacist group" because I am not. My skin is lighter, simple as that. I shouldn't loose employment and scholarship opportunities simply because I have the same skin color as someone else. Do you understand that wanting a skin color to succeed and another to fall is racist in itself?
@imRyRy Ah, but black people are grouped with the slaves, we are punished and labeled as the lesser group because of our history. Our skin is darker, but many people do not see it as simple as that. We lose employment and education opportunities due to our skin colour and how it often relates to economic status. Many want us to fail and for them to succeed simply because they are white. Do you see the point I am making? You lucked out and you want to luck out EVEN MORE. I don't get it.
@Danaetp My family is working poor. We live in a shitty neighborhood. My dad works a job well under his capabilities because he doesn't want us to move and lose what little we've managed to build up here. But people assume that, because I was born white, I'm "privileged." I was told that I should feel ashamed of my skin color because of slavery and that I should feel guilty for something that was not my fault and that I couldn't change. My sister though, she's really smart. She's -->
--> currently studying to be an astrophysicist. She graduated top of her class, after dealing with so much shit. She worked so hard, and to think that someone would look at her and try to lessen her struggle by saying, "It was easier because you're white." That just makes me sick. People are people and life is hard. It's not like there are no poor white people. Get over yourself.
@LeBaoBeatha White privilege doesn't refer to wealth, it refers to status. Blacks in America are slighted in our legal system, employment, access to quality education. Then in addition to that, we have to deal with people's ignorance.Imagine working hard at school, having a great resume,going in an interview and be STATISTICALLY less likely to get a job vs. a white convicted felon. Sounds like a privilege to me, you should be glad.
@Danaetp Are you serious? You're brushing aside a steep problem and pretending it's not there at all. You're just like every single other person out there who claims to be fighting the good fight while encouraging stereotypes against others. I live in WV. The likely hood that I'll commit suicide before the age of 25 is more likely than that I'll get a job while a qualified black man doesn't. Did you know that an average healthy white kid is over 2x more likely to commit suicide? Why? ->
--> You seem very quick to look for injustices against you, but either oblivious or uncaring about the issues of others. Have you ever been to Hawaii? Have you ever been spat on and called a cracker or haole? What about having someone snicker when you walk by, calling you Snowflake? Racism is racism. And believe it or not, racism against white people is on a steady rise.
@LeBaoBeatha You have not addressed the elephant in the room; institutionalized racism is REAL. Right,'racism' against whites has been on the rise since the beginning of time, even the slave masters thought the slaves were racist against them. Once people respond negatively to the supremacist structure, it is suddenly racism.The reactions you describe come from resentment and it will not stop until the remnants of colonization and supremacy are eradicated.
@Danaetp Oh, I totally agree that there is institutionalized racism. It's what leads to abortion mills being placed in "black" neighborhoods. It's what leads to zero tolerance on school campuses across the nation. It's what leads to affirmative action (programs are just starting???) There's been institutionalized racism all along it's simply that the plantation housing is now called "public". What I don't get is the vilification of conservative people of color BY people of color.
@Auralae40 I want a citation of evidence on that assertion about abortion providers. I guarantee you won't find it, because it's been disproved numerous times. There's vilification of conservative white people BY white people too. What does this have to do with @danaetp's points?
@bondageandflowers "it's been disproved numerous times" Oh? Then you'll have no problems citing even ONE such debunking. The fact is, abortionists set up shop in "poor" areas...now, I happen to live in WV, and there are PLENTY of poor areas that happen to be predominantly "white" areas....nary a clinic. There's free medical clinics--but the only abortion providers are in the major lol--ah, more metropolitan areas (there's no such thing as a major metropolitan area in WV) XD
@bondageandflowers The vilification of conservatives by members of their own minority differs from the vilification of white politicians differs in both content and spirit. There's plenty of folks who don't like Newt, or Romney, or Paul--but they're not dismissive, or condescending (well, perhaps a bit towards Paul)--the point is, it's their policies that people find fault with, not their choice to be conservative. People vilifying Col West, or Alan Keyes for instance, OY!
@Danaetp "Supremacist structure"?? Puhleeze. Racism is prejudice period. It's never justified, it's never pretty, and it's never acceptable, no matter where it's coming from. It's a shame your mind is so very thoroughly closed to factual information, else you might realize that colonization wasn't all evil. Banning wife burning in India wasn't such a bad idea...cutting down on tribal warfare on multiple continents was a GOOD thing.
@Auralae40 ...and in case you never realized, or just never knew--it was the British Empire that outlawed slavery. It's still going strong (and quite institutionalized) within Arab controlled countries. Slavery is regulated by Shariah, and as such, will never be eradicated from any Islamic country.
@Auralae40 Colonization isn't all evil ? Now I have heard it all. Yes, supremacist structure. Whites are victims of discrimination, not racism; this is common sense. British Empire? LOL, they outlawed the slave trade because it became an economic liability and continued with slavery well after and only ended it when it was to their benefit. Dear, I am from a country that was colonized, I have studied history and I have LIVED the remnants of slavery and colonialism. Don't try me.
@Auralae40 Slavery was also regulated by the Christian bible, save your islamophobia for someone else. It really wasn't up to foreign powers to stomp their shit on everyone else just because they didn't agree with what they were doing. India is in a much worse state as a country economically because of a screwed up British Beaurocratic system. Genocide is still genocide is still genocide.
@LeBaoBeatha Instead of writing these lengthy angry comments on youtube, research the History of Hawaii; they have basically experienced the same thing as Native Americans and this has led to resentment, research imbalances in justice, education and the economy and how it relates to race; educate yourself and as I said before, be thankful. Then rewatch this clip with understanding.
@Danaetp None of my comments were written with aggressive intonations. You've simply assumed I'm raving and inserted your own image of me to suit your self. I have educated myself. I understand the resentment, and the want for accountability. But I also understand something you don't seem to want to. I have been denied any culture or pride, and have been told to resent myself, just like every other white kid in America. It's not right, and it's not justice to serve racism with racism ->
-> No one is acknowledging that any of the things I've brought up exist. Not just that- but they claim that it's not racism at all. People like to think that only white folks are racist. It's ridiculous. Since ALL races do evidence racism, however, as the percentage of whites gradually decreases in our country and the percentage of non-whites increases, it stands to reason that racism against whites would rise. Perhaps it is subtle, but have you noticed how despite the strides -->
--> our nation has made in fighting racism against non-whites (compare racial awareness to 50 years ago and it's not even debatable), the notion of being white has become more and more popularized as a negative thing- as in one "acting white" or "acting too white"? (If you do not think that is a racist sentiment that can be harmful to one's self-image and -esteem, substitute any other race for "white" in that phrase and see how it sounds.) Have you noticed the subtle moral -->
--> "lessons" that whites are inherently morally flawed because (according to historical revision) it was white people who invented slavery and (according to economic revisionism) whites are lazy and "won't do certain jobs" and "need" non-white immigrants to come do their work. Or that when a white person is subject to racial slurs ("whitebread," "snowflake," "Opie," "honky," "white devil"), it is considered funny while slurs against all other races are immediately considered hate->
-> speech? Or how the futures of white prospects in certain sports and/or at certain positions are dismissed because of their being white? Yes, the government is overwhelmingly white. But if you are a white man or woman, and you are living in and/or working in a neighborhood that is overwhelmingly black or Latino and where even the police are mostly non-whites (a common experience in many urban areas), then can you honestly say you will never feel any institutionalized racial -->
--> threats in your daily life? To say so would be incredibly ignorant. Does this make anti-white racism WORSE than anti-black racism? God no, and I would argue with anyone who tries to make that case. However, to dismiss the notion of racism against whites, as you seem to do in every post, shows an (AT BEST) limited understanding of the multitude of cultural experiences and power dynamics in our nation.
@imRyRy A: It isn't about actively exploiting people. It is about the natural privileges you have. B: I'm not saying you deserve to be punished. No one is saying that - that is you just trying to make it about yourself, instead of about others who need help. That's a "It's not for me, therefore it is against me!" mindset. I'm saying that we should work to remedy the prejudices other people face. C: Cool anger bro.
@SomeonewhoisFrench So you're saying there's some sort of white conspiracy that will allow me to succeed more than someone "of color" in the same financial situation as me? Wow. Please let me know where to find this conspiracy! All this time and I had no idea!
@imRyRy It's not conspiracy, but nice way to use a fallacy to make the other side look bad. You've shown over and over again that you do not understand the nature of privilege - which is something you have automatically and take for granted - while being immature, condescending, and derailing. If you want to grow up, stop being a douchebag, and continue this in a private discussion, I will. Until than, I think you should reply to Danaetp, who already addressed white privilege.
@imRyRy Because you are from a lower class family you think that negates your whiteness? This has nothing to do with financial status. This has to do with your place in society, in general, as a white person, and the advantages that grants you. The thing about privilege is that it is things you take FOR GRANTED. Google 'White Privilege Checklist'. And again, it's not about wanting one race to succeed more than another. It's about reaching equality.
@SomeonewhoisFrench The fallacy is assuming white privileged is rampant without measuring it, if it exists at all. Secondly, it assumes only white people are in positions of power. Are there no black employers? managers? CEOs? Presidents?
Re-watch this video. Wanda says ALL white men get nervous at the thought of a minority gaining influence. She then goes on to say WHITE PEOPLE deserve to be treated badly, assuming again all WHITE PEOPLE are racist. She calls this KARMA.
I DID NOT OWN SLAVES. I do not have BAD KARMA. I don't deserve to be treated poorly because I share the same skin color as someone who did something wrong. She is generalizing all white people.
Imagine if I said black people deserve to be enslaved because there was some slavery in Africa (which there was)? I wouldn't hear the end of it...
@imRyRy I listened to her twice she did not say all white people in fact she only mentioned white men. Intresting how you feel Karma for white people is a punishment. Wanda Sykes didnt say that and neither did I. She said they feel they will be treated the way they treated others.
@ksnakeman If that is true then Karma will be good for you. I never said white people should be punished. I do believe it would be interesting if they were treated the way they have treated others. Wanda Sykes is "married" to a white woman so she only includes white men in her joke.
@imRyRy I never said anything about slaves. This isn't about slavery or karma. And it isn't about ~you~. It's not about me, either. It is about institutionalized racism and prejudice. Seriously, just sit down, because I'm getting embarrassed for you.
@dubified89 There's no such thing as "reverse" racism. Racism is racism. How idiotic can you be lol. people in the midwest still won't rent or sell homes to blacks. black people ask their white friends to hail cabs for them since cabbies won't pick them up.
@DiabloMercy Racism is racism. How idiotic can you be lol. people in the midwest still won't rent or sell homes to blacks. black people ask their white friends to hail cabs for them since cabbies won't pick them up.
Some try to act as though discrimination was fair because "whites did it first". In reality, it was not whites, but a white man or specific group of whites. The root of the problem of racism is the idea that one ascribe characteristics to a large group of people unfairly. Whites have as little choice when it comes to their skin color as black people do.
There is no real reverse racism, only racism period.
@Cookiecutter87 i come from Jewish ancestry, and of course everyone knows how volatile that was, but I'm not anti-German or anti-Palestinian, because I recognize that most people are GOOD and well-intentioned. Those in power may be or have been corrupt, but me being of Swiss, Russian and Ukranian ancestry does not automatically make evil. African Americans do NOT deserve the ill-treatment and discrimination they receive, absolutely not! but we all need to work together to make a change
@Cookiecutter87 I am sorry but I am confused how do black people have a choice about their skin color? Let's be clear racism is color based oppression whether it's slavery, segregation etc. You as a priviledge class must work to eliminate that oppression as it's being done for your benefit.
@Ryooken I think you misunderstood my comment. I said "Whites have as little choice when it comes to their skin color as black people do.". I am saying is that neither one chose their skin color.
Also, who says I am a privileged class? My mother came from South America to this country with 600 dollars in her pocket. Her and my father worked very hard to get where we are now, especially with 3 girls. My family would be considered middle class now, but we started off very poor.
@Cookiecutter87 Actually I did misunderstand and I apologize. I am sorry what does human rights have to do with economic adversity? You brought that with you most black people got their mistreatment as a gift from the USA in the form of slavery, segregation, and other forms of discrimination. You are in a protect class because you have equal rights that are not temporary. You are considered in the club so to speak which is a far cry from liberty and justice for all.
@Ryooken I realize that becuase I am white looking I am less susceptible to racism. What my point was everyone can have racist ideas and behave racist. Any one can still act racist if they choose (i.e beat up a white person, call them names). I agree that if you are the majority, it is easier to get away with racism. This does not mean that racism is limited to the most prevalent race, it just means it tends to be more common among whites.
@Cookiecutter87 That's the point everyone doesn't have racist ideas. People have predjudices and bigotry but racism is different while it may contain predjudice and bigotry, it cannot be limited to that. Can blacks be predjudice? Sure Can blacks be bigots? Possibly Racism is a system of color based oppression that can only happen with a power relationship.
HORSE SHIT!!! i lose more jobs to mexi's and women than anything else bc 'we have to show we are equal oppertunity... bs they ain't got jobs bc they won't get off their ass and they complain about more than 40 hrs a week
ok white people who are commenting on this.... please lighten up, she's talking about modern racists, not slavery. Oh and btw I'm white so if you have some racist bullshit to say to me go ahead and take it somewhere else.
oh, and riddle me this... if you're a racist white guy who hates black people WHY THE FUCK are you watching a wanda sykes video?! smd dumb asses... and YES i'm white, i just hate racist people.
it's such a shame how much hatred there is in the world these days ): why blame anyone for the mistakes people's ancestors made? our country passed the thirteenth amendment so that this would stop....
I love how white women dont get blammed. Also for all you fricken moronic pseudo intellectual liberals, I had nothing to do with what happened in the past. I am not racist. I have no Karma coming my way, and if i do i will turn racist. Thats right you can make racists with your stupid policies. White women, if white men are guilty then so are you. It could be said that you sat back and enjoyed the fruits of racism aka slavery and its production.
Karma? How is something that happen over 200 years ago considered "karma" for me if I am a white male??? Horrible joke by Wanda this time. Reverse Racism is called Affirmative Action. White men are discriminated against b/c of their white race. Affirmative Action does not provide equal opportunity, it discriminates again white males!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@starpulse21 I did not miss the point. Wanda Sykes is very good making comedy with headline news and I am a fan of hers for that reason. This attempt at a joke was wrong and wasn't funny. Let me assure you this, every white male who applies for a job has two strikes against them because a minority will be hired before him and a woman will be hired before him because of federal laws that fine companies because of affirmative action. This is reverse racism against white males! Think about it.
Everyone spends so much time drudging up activities of the past, there is hardly a single man or woman alive today white or black that was involved in slavery in the USA blacks spend so much time whining about white people when it was there own people that sold there own to the British to begin with but they never bring that up because what they did to there own completely over shadows anything the English ever did.
@brokentater More lies you white poeple tell your selves. The black people sold their own trump card is played out. Black people were tricked in slavery, the same way they are tricked now. The ones who sold their own were eventually sold away by the invading european inhuman slave traders. This is why racism is still alive because people like you.
@realintelligentwoman Here are some truths. Firstly Kwanzaa was invented in America, there is no such thing as "white's" because Caucasians come from a vast array of countries, and African kings and chiefs also played their part in capturing slaves for European slave traders. All this love for Africa and hatred for "white" people yet African Americans know jack all about Africa or their complete history. Look it up on Wikipedia. I assure you the results may shock you.

there s nothing to debate. she is totally reflecting how race relations really are in america. favoritism and lopsidedness in every aspect of life in america is obvious. if angry racist people don't understand then they just don't. but any person with a diverse life white or black understands. if you like this I M A BE ME you will like TOP 30 UNIQUE VIDEOS
I lived in the US and my family was of German descent and we had an N-word AND were treated like shit because of something we had nothing to do with by the rest of white trash "Amurrca"...
@Jakub2610 and YET you try to downgrade racism and slavery lol, black ppl were AT THE BOTTOM during this times, and ever since BLACKS had to work twice as hard as everybody else to live anything CLOSE to a normal life. And if you were ASLEEP during history and geography class, Africa has been EFFED up ESPECIALLY by the colonialism of racist Whites. It's FACT. not all africans were slaves, but Africans SURE AS HELL Hav been treated UNJUSTLY for so long.
Wanda Sykes -- the best advertisment the KKK could hope for.
Heh Wanda; go look a Mathew Brady photos of white male Union Army soldiers missing arms and legs who were wounded in battle all to free your family's asses from slavery. I guess you demonstrated how foolish they were. Perhaps, they should have joined the Confederate Army, instead.
@Mrshummamumma "just shut up and listen to the JOKE! its comedy. calm down! "
How about some nasty, racist jokes about blacks that have been tossed around over the decades? Wanna "laugh" about them? No? I didn't think so. Remember: an affront with a smile is still an affront. The fact that Wanda Sykes hates people with skin that's a different color than hers is sad, actually. Things said in jest are often meant.
I live in Chicago, I'm white and I went to southside. I nearly got beat senseless and this woman is going to be saying that this is karma??? the f*ck did I do to those ppl, I was just waiting for a bus!
@romulusnr 1. Not all Africans were slaves to whites, only the ones that got captured by traders and enemy tribes, as opposed to how African Americans treat every white-skinned person like a piece of trash, not just the descendants of slave-owners (not everyone had a slave-owning great great grand dad, you know) 2. I'm Polish, Poles abolished slavery in the 1400s, and it was never a matter of race or religion, it was just whoever was caught at war 3. They weren't waiting for a bus lol (bad joke)
Racism is racism, no matter who's engaging in it, and by the 21st century haven't we found better things to do than sit around pointing fingers at each other, finding superficial differences to dislike each other for and harping on the past?
That said, she is funny. It'd be even funnier if political correctness didn't shove this kind of thing down our cultural throat.
Good example my mom is funny but she talked about this one day, and sadly wanda syskes was telling the truth. Dont say oh its funny, black people naturally are funny like that, their is a person in every black persons family who is like Wanda Sykes. They speak the truth they're just funny. Don't take her as a joke, shes a comedian, but very wise.
I love Wanda Sykes but I have to disagree with her on this video,Karma? I was born in 1991, how the hell am I responsible for things that happened in the 1800's?
Some white people are racist so we all have to be punnished.
All black people are racists, and they get to yell "cracker" and "white boy" at everyone and nobody can say shit to them cuz otherwise here comes the media
maoristereo 18 hours ago
So you judge on the act of a small minority within that particular race, a white just because some whites owned slaves hundreds of years ago automatically makes him the target of your karma. You take a offense you weren't alive to be offended for and you blame whites for an offense they havent hadnt given. Wanda you're the racist

@DungbeetleXL5000 You are only half true. And completely wrong if you think that race is a non issue. Generational poverty and lack of education, lack community resources, the price of real estate, environmental inequality. Are just some of the ways in which money is racialized. Integrated neighborhood have lower property values just because some wont move into neighborhoods with minorities. Clauses in work contracts prohibiting ethnic hair and features. Class warfare is only one factor.

I'm white, why do I deserve to be "punished"? The vast majority of white people DON'T have ancestors who owned slaves. Why should I have bad "karma" simply because I have white skin?
This Wanda Sykes likes to hide behind her blanket of associating all white people with racism. She doesn't see the hypocrisy in that. It is in fact racism to group all white people together and tell us we need to suffer simply because a minority of us did something wrong.

@imRyRy Not that it's right, but the TransAtlantic Slave trade was about a million times grander and systematic than slavery in other times. It racialized an entire continent of people as less than human. It displaced millions of Africans to the Americas and west indies. Slavery before hand was not nearly as devastating. Thats why. Its not fair, but white men especially enjoy the social benefits and generational wealth of being white. Other races enjoy generational poverty and lack of education.

The reverse racism comes in when whites are not allowed to respond to the criticism. We can talk about racism; a term coined by communist Leon Trotsky following the classic divide and conquer tactic, reformulated to it's maximum effect by the Frankfort school, formulated into a virtual religion called Liberation Theology, and politicized by Sal Alinsky; but, this time it's going to be a two-way discussion.

Karma is used wrong here. Karma means the person who DIRECTLY did something negative to a black person gets that action back. No white person for the past 200 years has had a slave and most of the white people in the country now are Irish, Italian, etc. and weren't even in the country until the 1920's, sometimes later. So no, karma would mean the actual white slave holders get taken as slaves by the very black people who got enslaved. Another dumb black woman.

Some try to act as though discrimination was fair because "whites did it first". In reality, it was not whites, but a white man or specific group of whites. The root of the problem of racism is the idea that one ascribe characteristics to a large group of people unfairly. Whites have as little choice when it comes to their skin color as black people do.
There is no real reverse racism, only racism period.

This does not mean that racism is limited to the most prevalent race, it just means it tends to be more common among whites.

I love how white women dont get blammed. Also for all you fricken moronic pseudo intellectual liberals, I had nothing to do with what happened in the past. I am not racist. I have no Karma coming my way, and if i do i will turn racist. Thats right you can make racists with your stupid policies. White women, if white men are guilty then so are you. It could be said that you sat back and enjoyed the fruits of racism aka slavery and its production.

Karma? How is something that happen over 200 years ago considered "karma" for me if I am a white male??? Horrible joke by Wanda this time. Reverse Racism is called Affirmative Action. White men are discriminated against b/c of their white race. Affirmative Action does not provide equal opportunity, it discriminates again white males!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@scottab140 You missed the point. This is also a joke and not applicable to every individual white male.
starpulse21 5 months ago
@starpulse21 I did not miss the point. Wanda Sykes is very good making comedy with headline news and I am a fan of hers for that reason. This attempt at a joke was wrong and wasn't funny. Let me assure you this, every white male who applies for a job has two strikes against them because a minority will be hired before him and a woman will be hired before him because of federal laws that fine companies because of affirmative action. This is reverse racism against white males! Think about it.

Everyone spends so much time drudging up activities of the past, there is hardly a single man or woman alive today white or black that was involved in slavery in the USA blacks spend so much time whining about white people when it was there own people that sold there own to the British to begin with but they never bring that up because what they did to there own completely over shadows anything the English ever did.

@brokentater More lies you white poeple tell your selves. The black people sold their own trump card is played out. Black people were tricked in slavery, the same way they are tricked now. The ones who sold their own were eventually sold away by the invading european inhuman slave traders. This is why racism is still alive because people like you.

@realintelligentwoman Here are some truths. Firstly Kwanzaa was invented in America, there is no such thing as "white's" because Caucasians come from a vast array of countries, and African kings and chiefs also played their part in capturing slaves for European slave traders. All this love for Africa and hatred for "white" people yet African Americans know jack all about Africa or their complete history. Look it up on Wikipedia. I assure you the results may shock you.

I love Wanda, but this one's wrong. I didn't do shit to deserve the regular racism I have to deal with on a day to day basis.
In fact, it's usually young folks who do it, who weren't even fucking ALIVE when their go-to excuse was going on.

And if you were ASLEEP during history and geography class, Africa has been EFFED up ESPECIALLY by the colonialism of racist Whites. It's FACT. not all africans were slaves, but Africans SURE AS HELL Hav been treated UNJUSTLY for so long.

Wanda Sykes -- the best advertisment the KKK could hope for.
Heh Wanda; go look a Mathew Brady photos of white male Union Army soldiers missing arms and legs who were wounded in battle all to free your family's asses from slavery. I guess you demonstrated how foolish they were. Perhaps, they should have joined the Confederate Army, instead.
Make mental note of that. Check.

@Mrshummamumma "just shut up and listen to the JOKE! its comedy. calm down! "
How about some nasty, racist jokes about blacks that have been tossed around over the decades? Wanna "laugh" about them? No? I didn't think so. Remember: an affront with a smile is still an affront. The fact that Wanda Sykes hates people with skin that's a different color than hers is sad, actually. Things said in jest are often meant.

@romulusnr 1. Not all Africans were slaves to whites, only the ones that got captured by traders and enemy tribes, as opposed to how African Americans treat every white-skinned person like a piece of trash, not just the descendants of slave-owners (not everyone had a slave-owning great great grand dad, you know) 2. I'm Polish, Poles abolished slavery in the 1400s, and it was never a matter of race or religion, it was just whoever was caught at war 3. They weren't waiting for a bus lol (bad joke)

Racism is racism, no matter who's engaging in it, and by the 21st century haven't we found better things to do than sit around pointing fingers at each other, finding superficial differences to dislike each other for and harping on the past?
That said, she is funny. It'd be even funnier if political correctness didn't shove this kind of thing down our cultural throat.
