02 - Part 2 - Race, education, and inequality

A look at the 50th anniversary of the Little Rock Nine's courage and strength.

Just to clear up: I think desegregation was a bad idea because it focused too much on the "separate" part and not on the equality part. Integration would have only worked if it was a multifaceted approach through education, housing, employment discrimination, healthcare, and the media. Don't get it twisted - I think all people deserve a great education.

1000 yrs ago leif ericson sailed to america...

[angryantiracist]

Yea, but I'm talking about circumnavigation...a trip that spans the entirety of the earth. The first recorded fleet that accomplished that was under Admiral Zheng He under the orders of Zhu Di before China turned in on itself and shut its doors to the outside world for centuries.

hmmm...... are u chinese or japanese??

[angryantiracist]

Why does that even matter? For your information, I'm of Korean descent. I don't even have to be Asian to appreciate the remarkable feat of Zheng He. And besides, can you name the over 200 ethnic groups present in Asia? We're not just Chinese or Japanese.

oh, thanks!! : ) i heard of mekong an area in china that has a slightly differnt culture...

[angryantiracist]

I'm not sure about that. Sorry for jumping down your throat, by the way...haha. China is a pretty large country and the eastern and southern parts of the country are significantly different from the industrialized areas.

I totally agree, Thank you for taking time out to address the truth.

Of course Christopher Columbus wasn't a great man, he was just a man of his times. A greedy opportunist and a Christian zealot.

Both the Jena six and the noose incident were hoaxes; there was no white racism in either case - but there was black racism against whites. As for the media, it is (by and large) virulently anti-white. This breeds resentment. When that resentment is voiced, it is referred to as "racism".

Man this is great stuff, we need to get together and talk about these issues lol!

[DrCherryPie]

Well, all the issues that you bring up, notably that our telling of history in the US is biased, are part of the history courses that I am currently taking in college. The problem is that I believed that I knew everything about history already, but college courses in particular and books like A People's History by Howard Zinn really do justice in telling the balanced truth.

Well, that's not meant to denigrate every European of the Renaissance age. Most Europeans at that point were oppressed and uneducated agrarian peasants. Yet the same could be said for India, China, Arab world, etc. during the same time frame.

Thank you so much for pointing so much valuable information out. We really do need to address the problem immediately. We need more people like you in the world.

"A man of his times." Well said. =)

wow you very smart and i enjoy watching you videos they really give people something to think about i agree with you when tho my mother gets angly with me when i tell her stuff about race but yes you right people have to listen about whats going on and i really think i my teacher does not like me she even yells at me sometimes but hey plz make a new video soon =3

[yir22]

If you haven't realized. Only because he is not angry doesn't mean he is serious on what he is talking about. Anger brings anger, and that's something he's not trying to bring about. It's very disrespectful of you trying to call someone a liar.

[yir22]

yes, that will be a great idea if you did a short documentary on how media affects our society. I personally think it focuses more on violence which brings more hatred into this country. I'm sorry what are you majoring in again? I think I heard NR. But anyways, your doing such a great job!
