Almost everybody on reddit is praising this dude...

We all know what crowd visits reddit...ofcourse they're praising him.

White people love it when black people don't point the finger at them, their ancestors, or the system their ancestors created for their problems..

They probably were like..."that was close!"

He's acting like Cacs dont have the upper-hand

 

[mrken12]

I don't even want to watch the rest. White racists and racist apologists love it when black people tell other black people to "pull themselves up by the proverbial bootsraps" and completely deny the existence of white supremacy and the role it plays and has played in the sabotaging of collective black progress.

Plus the title of the video is condescending as fukk.

OF COURSE this was upvoted to the top on reddit

So basically he justified every unarmed Black death with the "black on black crime" excuse?

I would just like to know, since the existence of Black on Black crime is reason for whites to not be prosecuted when they kill Black people, why does the existence of white on white crime--you know like mass shooting, school shootings, etc--not equate to no prosecuting or even less prosecuting of Black on white crime?

interesting comment...

Look. I know why this video will hit the frontpage. I'm all for calling out people to take personal responsibility. That's fine. But then is it not a two way street?


When you see a black guy committing an offence, why do people not just blame the black guy? Why do they have to blame the black community? Personal responsibility or communal responsibility? We can't have both.


The man talks about how yeah many of the black folks have been dealt bad hands in life. He implores blacks to try and get themselves out of it. He talks about how we give off the perception of being thugs and this and that. Yeah true points.


So he failed to consider that those crack dealers or drug dealers or gangsters are trying, in some twisted bumfukk way to try and get themselves out of the situation by slinging crack at the corner. Nobody was born with a desire for a hard life. When your whole family is in tatters and there is no generational wealth to inherit except bloodshed and poverty and undereducation, when the only option to get out of the hood is via a body bag or peddling dope, when the only heroes one has growing up is either in jail or absent and the whole neighbourhood is a fukking ghetto spliced with the thunderdome, how does one expect to have upward mobility?


People keep saying if you're educated you will get out of the hood. Come the fukk on. Reddit of all places, where everyone is bytching about how they can't get a job because the baby boomers raped their dreams. How can you guys turn around and say all it takes is an A to make it out? Education is part of the make up of success not all of it. Those kids from the ghettos who are aceing their tests and getting the scholarships, they are a dime a dozen. The difference between them and kids in the suburbs is that the suburban kids have been mentally reinforced to believe they are worth something. They have the confidence to follow through with it and the backing of peers and parents and society as a whole to know that they belong. How the fukk do you expect a kid from the ghetto to have the same outlook on life as you?


I'm not under any pretenses about Redditors. Many black redditors like myself are probably going to take the week off Reddit. From /r/todayilearned to /r/AskReddit , we know what many of you think when they hear the word black people and that's fine. We've heard all your political bludgeons from Morgan Freeman to Bill Cosby to this bloke in the video and I won't pretend that they are completely wrong. Yup, change has to happen and a change of attitude has to happen.


But that is only one side of the equation. The guys said cops will stop hunting black men if they stop doing crime. How many black men have been killed for not doing crime at all? The man who got asked for his license 2 months ago only to get shot at the gas station by an overzealous cop, he was obeying the law. The black bloke who was scanning produce at a store while holding a toy gun, shot dead without warning, he was obeying the law.


It's not as simple as "stop doing crime". When economically and socially, the very existence of your being is considered less than, what the hell is supposed to happen?


I'm all for personal responsibility. If it's the way redditors want to define personal responsibilty then I am game. Next time a white kid shoots up a school, maybe every other race should ask whites to apologise for their children. Next time the economy takes a nosedive due to magical tricks from old white men in suits, maybe we should all lump whites into the pot as open game, after all that is the personal responsibility people want from "the black community" isn't it?


/r/todayilearned has been rife with articles about black riots. /r/videos has been rife with the results of the ferguson blowout yesterday. Two months ago there was a pumpkin riot by whites. I doubt many people heard about it or cared. The black neighbourhoods that were supposed to flourish, places like greenwood Tulsa A.K.A black wallstreet read about what happened to it. This was in a time when blacks were officially second class citizens. People in America were not happy and they destroyed the place. This page of history has been mentally redacted form the public sphere and many redditors are quick to label the blacks as destructive, like we are another species all together. It's sad and it fukking hurts I tell you that. There is a problem, and anyone who tells you they have the one quick fix is a fukking charlatan. The bloke in the video would have been dismissed as a thug if he had an opinion contrary to what many of you are jerking about. Let's not play ostrich. The frontpage has made it clear to us black folk that you guys despise us and for many of you, I don't blame you.


FURTHER READING - Another melaninaly inclined redditor put up a history of the GI-bill and the effects it had on determing today's generational wealth


The funniest part of all this is that the whole "pulling up your bootstraps " is a colloquialism for literally doing the impossible. Poor white redditors, I'm not talking middle class, I'm talking Oliver asks for more level poor, they will know what it's like to grow up in helpless situations. Many of you who got out know that it takes part hardwork and a shyt load of luck and some level of excommunication from peers and family. Now imagine you're a black kid who wants to do that but also knows that the world out there is not ready to accept him or her as a fully fledged being due to some fukked up reason like your slang words or dialect. You can hide your past, you cannot erase people's perceptions. Black people do not have the super power to comfort frightened people without talking. The same applies to the brown guy at the airport. We are playing ag ame of chicken and the egg situation but many redditors have killed the chicken and are disgusted that the egg doesn't hatch.


TL;DR - Reddit, from one young black man to you, I am tired. Cheers.

There's two really good comments down the way on that Reddit thread.

 

[b_priest9mm]

The way these idiots bring up "personal responsibility" sounds like a weak cop-out so that we don't question them or this system and to continue to brush us aside. Basically they're saying, "just roll over and take it n***er!"

That's why I'm glad to see all these protests. People have had enough and I've had enough of all these c00ns.

If I see dude in the video on the street, I'm slapping the shyt out of him.

 

[b_priest9mm]

I just realized something. White people don't want personal responsibility. At least not on the truest sense of the word. Not if you listen to what they really say.

Personal responsibility would mean that white people as a collective would have to take a look in the mirror. They don't want that.

Personal responsibility would mean that white people would all, as a collective, point out the injustices of this system. A system that was not built for anyone else that doesn't look like them. They don't want that.

Personal responsibility would mean fully acknowledging that their ancestors have wreaked havoc over the entire world for nearly thousands of years, and that the effects of said acts are still being felt to this day by people that do not look like them. They don't want that.

If you listen to what white pepole really want, it's to continue to benefit from an oppressive system that makes it difficult for anyone that does not look like them to succeed, and for the rest of us to simply shut up about it.

So much for all that "personal responsibility", huh? And that goes for all you non-white, racist apologists too.

Black guy says something race related and is popular on reddit? I don't even have to watch the video to know the bullshyt this dude is spouting.
