Pulling Out The Race Card...Please Do Not Make General Statements About A Race Of People

This is a video response to a girl whom I am subscribed to. I love her vids obviously but I felt the need to comment on something she said, but I know it's how a lot of people feel.

***THIS IS MY OPINION. FEEL FREE YO VOICE YOURS BUT RESPECTFULLY. NO HATE. JUST CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS PLEASE.***

So why does a video titled 'Please Do Not Make General Statements About A Race Of People' get so many comments that involve negative generalisations about differing ethnicities, countries and cultures?

@a918s that's what i wanna know

[saraibewildered]

Wow. This was insane. As for what you said about the "fair game" and "race card". People are generally finnicky about race issues, I don't understand that because in order to get over this hump... Shouldn't we talk about it? I would have to disagree with the fair game comment.

@saraibewildered when i said fair game i meant thatin rgards to pulling the race card people i have dealt with pulled it euqllay it wasn't more of one race than the other...

As for the definition of racism, people have many different views on what that is. There is a growing number of black people I've seen here on youtube who say that only white people can be racist. They say that everyone can be prejudiced but only whites are racist because racism is an institutionalized power over another race. This is obviously not the definition of racism. It seems everyone has there own opinion on what racism means.

@ScorpiusCentaurus people that say that iono bou them I don't think it's true. How can only one race of people be racist? doesn't make sense...AT ALL

Well, here, in America...it works both ways. There's always fear when going into certain neighborhoods, regardless of the demography. That's just life. You clearly don't live in the US, and even if you did, you haven't lived in every neighborhood. Please don't assume you know what life is like for everyone here...

i think you are beautiful and shouldnt give two shits about wut any one thinks in my family we are full of every races

[fashionerdxo]

and might I mention that any person who think all black people are the same are idiots. Is a White person from Italy the same as a white person from Russia? NO. Therefore Blacks is too much of a blanket term....a black person from America, a black person from the Dominican Republic, and a black person from Ethiopia are totally different in cultural values etc. Blanket terms are really dumb.

EVERY RACE makes racist comments therefore I don't agree with the comments that Black people are more racist than others. Maybe from that person's experience I don't know them so I have no idea what type of people they grew up around (I grew up around ALL races) but they have to remember that yea blacks do pull the race card sometimes for no reason but SOMETIMES IT IS for a valid reason. Come on people, we all know that slavery has left a massive impact on our country and how we treat eachother

@ScorpiusCentaurus funny thing is i'm not you just truely don't understand what your talking about and how can you know anything if your not interacting with anyone else? that makes you have a very narrowed view..anyways i'm clearly talking over your head it's kind of funny though to see you try

[ScorpiusCentaurus]

@pocket1 That makes my points invalid? smh...whatever! You keep burying your head in the sand.

[pocket1]

@ScorpiusCentaurus thank you. arguement over. that fact alone makes ALL of your points invalid. Get out more man get to know some other races kk? then talk to me.

[ScorpiusCentaurus]

@pocket1 Really? I wrote "And no, I don't personally know any African Americans"... I don't know how to make that any more clear for you.

[pocket1]

@ScorpiusCentaurus no you didn't i asked if you had any african american people in your personal life. You seguyed past that question to ramble but ok.

[ScorpiusCentaurus]

@pocket1 That's fine by me. And yes, I did answer your question.
