I don't think he knew, he's white & never had to deal with cops profiling with stop & frisk . He probably never dealt with racism at work , never dealt with racist at a bank , never dealt with a racist realtor, he probably never dealt with the racist justice system

Never heard of him. And I understand the incredulity around him not understanding how bad racism still is in America.

Having said that, if a person does eventually come to grips with that reality…that’s a good thing. That’s what progress is.

I’m not saying this David French guy is suddenly a good person or anything. I’m just saying that when someone finally comes around to your line of thinking…or to your reality, in a genuine way…it’s probably not the best idea to trash them over how long it took to get there.
You’re making excuses. He’s been in the Deep South his entire life. He’s lying & only seems to care because his adopted kid felt the pain.

A genuine person is someone comes around & cares when it’s strangers.

Edit: she addressed your types at the 4:10 mark

Duke's a columnist, therefore, he is privy to a vast swath of information concerning current events in the world let alone the US. He is fully aware of racism and its effects to those who've dealt with it at length.:unimpressed:

That, I am not placing my concern. It's that he has access to the scripts and scripts of atrocities of his brethren each and every day. Don't get it confused; he's well learned.

Ultimately, he is aware of what his kinfolk does due to proximity.

I'm not gonna waste my time on engaging because it's an obvious culture war battle with people shooting at a guy who was a fervent right wing voice (until emerging as anti-MAGA when Trump appeared). Am I stunned an old white man didn't believe racism existed until he experienced it first hand via a family member or friend? No. But I'm not gonna shyt on the dude either. It is what it is...he realized he was wrong most of his life. Too bad the next (white) man will follow the same path of doubting until he sees it firsthand impact someone he knows, loves, etc.

fukk Jemale Hill for one.
For two, these white clowns (no matter their nationality) live in a protected bubble where they think we’re all living in the same world and we’re all equal. So of course, in their minds they racism is just a thing in the past and they’re so fukking fragile that they call “reverse racism” when Black people (more specifically, Black Americans) express that they don’t trust them or even want to be around them.

They know. They just don't care cause they don't have to. Until they do. Which is basically what he's saying. :skip:


Also blonde wig distracting me:unimpressed:
people thinking this are so dumb
if you don't experience something you don't think about it
just like their are plenty of issues women have men don't think about
other races the same thing
your experience is different so a white person wont understand it
like people that grown up with money don't understand their privilege cuz its all they know
plenty of people are never around people with different perspectives and experiences

Speaking of the effects of racism and going out of your way to look white with the contacts, and blonde hair is just embarrassing.

And talking about sh1t like this only makes you look bad. It’s a very unappealing conversation.

Just so you guys understand this.

Imagine you on a date. And you spend most of it talking about how someone from school is always bullying you. How the fucck do you think you look to your date??!! Wtf

Posting 18 minute clips without a summary should be a bannable offence.

I really hate videos that should be an article. It allows people to waffle and go on non sequiturs.
