Racism and white privilege exist not merely from hate, but from an identity crisis created by colonization, where settlers never truly belonged to the land they occupied while simultaneously losing connection to their ancestral homelands, leading to a paper-thin identity that manifests as racism and privilege to compensate for this lack of genuine belonging.

White man FINALLY EXPOSED AMERICAS'S BIGGEST LIEAdded:
Ever wonder why racism and white privilege really exist?
It's not just about hate.
It's about identity, or more accurately, the lack of it. See, one of the biggest problems with decolonization is, what do you do with the colonizers?
It's a fair question, especially if, like me, you live in a country built on colonization.
Because we, the descendants of settlers, are stuck in this strange identity crisis.
We've lived here for centuries, but we've never actually belonged to the land we're on.
We treat it like a trophy from some conquest that never really happened. We ravage, strip mine, harvest massive tracts of timber, and we pollute this land with barely a second thought.
We do that exactly because we never really connected to it.
We exploited it because it's only valuable to us as a commodity, for our personal gain.
And then there's the purposeful erasure of tens of thousands of years of indigenous history, and the harm we've caused the delicate balance of nature and its animals since colonization.
It's further clear evidence of that fact.
At the same time, colonizers don't have any connection to their ancestral lands, either.
For example, my ancestors hail from Ireland and Germany, and I know very little about either of those countries.
I can't even imitate my genetically native Irish tongue, or speak German.
I have no connection to Europe, not culturally, not spiritually, nothing.
That thread was cut a long time ago.
See, colonialism didn't just erase indigenous connection to the land, it also severed ours to anywhere else.
So, if we don't belong to the land live on and we don't belong to the lands we came from, who are we?
That's why colonial identity so often shows up as either overt racism or indignant privilege.
Because when your identity is paper-thin, you lash out at anyone who challenges it.
And I'm sure the comment section of this video will prove that point nicely.
But deep down, colonial people want to belong.
That's why we obsessed over ancestry tests and family trees. We're trying to build a history that was erased to justify our own.
Because identity, like culture, is built on history.
But colonial countries are continually erasing their history to prop up the justification for colonization in the first place.
We delete the history to maintain a fake identity.
But no identity can grow because we keep deleting our history.
So, colonial identity never grows deeper than surface level. Or what I like to call the sports and barbecue culture.
Our real history is full of horror and hate, which we bury shallow and keep pretending it isn't there.
And that open wound is left to fester and poison every generation that follows.
But here's the hopeful part. It doesn't have to be that way.
Decolonization and land back doesn't mean pack up and leave.
They mean show up differently.
They mean acknowledging the real history of this land, the pain we've caused, and building a system that values justice over dominance.
Because if we do that, if we finally stop hiding from our past, maybe we'll all stop wondering who we are.
And start building a future where everyone actually belongs.
Anyway, something to think about.
Peace out. And if you're not already following me, you should. It's going to be a ride. What's up, guys? Welcome back to the channel once again. So, guys, today we are talking about a very serious topic that many people avoid, and that is racism in America. White privilege, colonization, and the way history still affect people today. Now, before we start, I want to make something clear. This conversation is not about hating anybody because of their race. It is about understanding history, understanding system, and understanding why many people still feel pain, anger, and frustration generations later.
A lot of people think racism is just about one person insulting another person, but many people believe it goes much deeper than that. They believe it is connected to history, power, identity, politics, and the system that were created many years ago. In this video, we are going to break down some of the arguments people are making online, and why those conversations are becoming bigger and bigger every single day. So, sit back, relax, and let's talk about it. So, watch these compilations of videos, then I'll be back with more comment.
I'm just going off top of my head for a minute.
I'm not sure there's any other way out of I've I've done the math.
I'm not sure there's any other way out of this outside of essentially white people destroying each other.
Cuz like this country was built on white violence, specifically by white men.
And I feel like that's the same way it has to crumble.
And I think like as we have seen so many non-white communities take a step back.
Uh it has really highlighted and illuminated how [ __ ] weak specifically white men are.
Because you hear it all the time, right? If you touch my kid, I'll shoot you.
If the government tries to take my guns, I'll exercise my second amendment rights.
If you come for my neighbor, I'm coming for you. Like all this [ __ ] It just doesn't happen, dude. Like the only violence that that comes out right now is aimed at everybody that isn't white. And a few white people took the heat, too, clearly.
But I knew that peace [ __ ] was out the window like years ago.
Like peace rooted in white supremacy, which is just inaction and comfortability, will do nothing to [ __ ] stop what's happening.
And I think the reality is uh white people that do care right now are scared to go toe-to-toe with the white supremacist violence that destroys everything else.
Cuz you see all these white people look around and be like, "Well, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do."
And the reality is like we have to put some real [ __ ] on the line.
Yeah, I mean like including our bodies and our lives.
And what, 96% of white people aren't willing to do that [ __ ] Well, the natural outcome of that is black and brown bodies get stacked up while white people throw a [ __ ] fit over being critiqued over the No Kings protests.
The white men that that care right now, uh y'all need to be in the gym or at the range.
I Me personally, I'm not a [ __ ] passive pacifist. I never have been.
And again, I don't this peace [ __ ] the the idea of peace that white people want to hold on to this idea of basically non-confrontational approaches uh literally just doesn't [ __ ] work.
So, white violence built this country.
And the destruction of the white body may make way for something new.
I don't know.
Just some thoughts.
Especially like and I'll wrap it up, but especially seeing these white men >> [sighs and gasps] >> go after kids at a protest or go after non-white communities all the [ __ ] time.
White men should be out there putting other white men's faces into the [ __ ] concrete for doing any of that [ __ ] That's just my opinion, though.
But maybe that's cuz I'm white and that's our nature is violence.
Who knows?
Let every dirty, lousy [ __ ] arm themselves with a revolver or a knife and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich, and let us kill them without mercy. And let it be a war of extermination, and let US DEVASTATE THE AVENUES WHERE THE rich live.
Lucy Parsons, 1885.
And as always, death to imperialism and its agents, and all power to the people.
There is a lie central to American slavery, a lie that the slavers told themselves. There is no doubt that their lifestyles were opulent, that their clothes were the finest, that their wives were adorned in the newest pearls, the flashiest gemstones, that in the summers they could vacation to Europe and travel and see the world, that there is an opulence that appears genuine on the outside, but once you scratch it just a bit, you realize why the South was willing to burn the entire country down to keep their slavery. It's all rotten.
It's rust underneath the gilding. But once you take that top layer of paint off, there's nothing in it but a hollow soullessness.
And that hollow soullessness is reflected in the way that a planter's wife looks overlong at any slave with lighter skin than his mother and wonders, is my husband the father of that child?
It is in the way that the head of the household, supposedly this moral paragon, who spends all his time abusing his female slaves in one way and beating his male slaves in another, that when he leaves the home, he too is paranoid that his wife is finding satisfaction with someone that isn't him. It's fear, rank fear, that the poor whites in the community would one day realize that the reason they are impoverished is that all of the unskilled labor, and by the 1850s a large portion of the skilled labor, is being done by those who are owned instead of those who are free. That rather than compete with their peers of multiple ethnic backgrounds for jobs and their merit would guide them instead, that poor white man must understand that his job must be sacrificed on the altar of slavery. And if he figures that out, he might set the system on fire. It is the understanding, persistent above all others, that there is no liquid cash to spend. There is wealth, plentiful wealth, but that wealth is tied up in land, in human bodies, in the manor, in the tools, in the cotton, but not tied up in money. And so, the liquid cash, the capital that these planters would spend on their lavish vacations, fine suits, and the best cigars are taken out on loans, asset-backed loans, where their house is the collateral, where their slaves are the collateral, where their land is the collateral. That if the system changes, or God forbid the system ends, their wealth and prominence dies with it. And so, they concoct lies.
First, lies that they tell themselves, that of course that child with lighter skin doesn't look like my husband, even when he does.
Of course, my wife who looks overlong at one of the house servants doesn't mean anything by that.
Because she can't. Of course, the white men in my employ love me, respect me, value me, because they must. Of course, the slaves are happy here and wouldn't rip us apart if given the opportunity for all the pain we visited on them, because they must be. And so, when it is Abraham Lincoln who ascends to the presidency, he is the tyrant for the South. He is here to steal your property and take your business and your home, not because he is, but because he must be.
Thank you so much for your time. I hope you enjoyed the story. If you did, hit the button so the algorithm brings you back. See you next time. So, a liberal or a centrist might agree with you that capitalism is destroying the planet, but then they'll look you dead in the eye and say, "Well, just show me one place in which socialism has ever worked."
This is a rhetorical challenge naturalized by 75 years of propaganda.
It feels earnest to the people who utter it, and the standard response from Marxists could be better. Often, it's merely to flip the question. Show me one place in which socialism has been allowed to flourish free from attack. I believe a better strategy involves showing why capitalism makes it impossible to know important things like how socialism is working or not working and then to give a concrete example like this one with in September of 1973, Augusto Pinochet was installed as leader of Chile via a CIA-backed military coup.
Now, before the coup, Santiago was South America's most concentrated site of radical left intellectual production.
There were five think tanks in the city that hosted an international network of Marxist economists and sociologists who had an amazing lab at their disposal because they were working in dialogue with Salvador Allende's socialist government. Santiago was a research hub for scholars from North America and Europe and Latin American scholars shared their findings abroad. They were working on something called dependency theory which described how wealthy nations developed through colonialism but then underdeveloped their former colonies through debt forcing them to send surplus back to the core. Pinochet destroyed this research ecosystem.
Research centers were closed within hours of the coup. Researchers were killed, imprisoned, or scattered across Mexico, Europe, and Latin America. He appointed retired military goons as rectors of universities. Troops tear-gassed campuses, violently arrested students, and destroyed lab equipment.
Then there's the case of Orlando Letelier, a Marxist economist and diplomat under Allende. After the coup, he fled to Washington, D.C. where he worked in academia until 1976 when agents of Pinochet's secret police killed him in D.C. with a car bomb. This was one of the first foreign state-sponsored terrorist attacks on American territory because a CIA-backed right-wing dictator didn't like this guy's research on the flow of capital in Chile. So, if you give an example like this, it still might feel remote to the centrist. But then you can say, "Capitalists and fascists never want people studying what's happening." Have you heard of all the medical, environmental, and climate scientists Trump has shit-canned?
And they might recognize this because many pride themselves on being well-informed. So, you can show that capitalists don't want people to know important things. They don't want anyone to know how socialism works, just like they don't want anyone to measure rises in disease or pollution or atmospheric heat. And if you really want to drive the point home and level it up, you can ask, "Do you know how many journalists the IDF has killed in Gaza?" And the answer is basically all of them. If you do nothing else today, nothing else today, please, I implore you to listen to this brilliant woman who has my utmost respect.
Listen to the whole thing.
Your religion is not special, and you are not special for believing it.
Your book has no authority over anyone except yourself. Between this mandatory reading list and the bills passed last year, like SB 965, which would allow a teacher to preach these stories as if they were fact, it is clear that a special level of arrogance is infesting the Texas government because it does take a truly special level of self-delusion to think that you are so star-spangled special that your preferred interpretation of your preferred translation of your preferred unsubstantiated, unproven, un falsifiable claim is correct to the point that you think you have the right to indoctrinate the next generation with it. This is clearly a Christian supremacist agenda. If not evidenced enough by the fact that no other religions are on this list, then by the fact that you've had a parade of Christian supremacists at this podium openly stating that they believe their faith system is superior supporting this list. This is not providing historical and cultural context, and to act like it is is insulting to the intelligence of everyone here, especially considering we're talking about a religion that has done its best to erase history and wipe out other cultures in the places that they've colonized. And in a day when Texas government has removed restrictions on teaching these stories as if they were fact, we had a whole series of Supreme Court cases on teaching your religion's objectively wrong claims as if it were equal to empirically verified facts, and not once could Bible thumpers provide any evidence better than magic. The earth is 4.5 billion years old, not 6,000. Humans are not descended from a dirt man and a rib. There was never a global flood, and a person cannot survive in the belly of a whale for 3 days. I know that some of y'all are desperate to pull fact down to the level of religion by pretending evidence-based science is a religious idea, but like it or not, these are things that we can actually study and test and provide evidence for. Critical thinking, investigation, and the scientific method encourage curiosity and learning, whereas the Christian religion is happy to end any investigation with "Except God did it" or "Burn for eternity." This dogmatic thinking has led to centuries of hatred, genocide, and support for slavery, and to indoctrinate children into it is a direct harm.
Vote against this list.
That is [ __ ] spot on and what I'm talking about.
So, despite what all Americans were told, we were not raised Americans. We were raised inside of one of 10 distinct cultural nations that just happen to share a flag. Here's the map they never showed us in school, and the nations I'm talking about. Number one, Yankeedom, founded in the 1620s by English Puritans who came to build a godly society through institutions, which is why Yankees are earnest, civic-minded, and convinced good systems can make people better. Boston, Minneapolis, Milwaukee are examples. Next, we have New Netherland, founded in 1624 by Dutch merchants who came for no other reason than to trade, not religious reasons, which is why New Yorkers are a transactional, tolerant, blunt, and frankly unimpressed by anything that doesn't perform. New York City is that whole nation. Next, we have the Midlands, founded in the 1680s by English Quakers in Philadelphia, which is why Midlanders are friendly, modest, conflict diverse, and suspicious of anyone making a scene. Includes Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Kansas City.
Next, we have Tidewater, founded in the early 1600s by English gentry trying to recreate an aristocracy, which is why Tidewater people carry this old money formality about them and this quiet sense that the best days may have been before the Civil War.
Richmond, Norfolk, and Annapolis are part of the Tidewater region.
Next, we have Greater Appalachia, founded in the 1710s by Scots-Irish Borderlanders, my ancestors, who spent centuries fighting the English, which is why Appalachian people are fiercely independent, loyal to their own, and willing to fight you over a perceived slight that may be decades after the fact. Nashville, Pittsburgh, Knoxville, all included. Next, we have the Deep South, founded in the 1670s by Barbadian planters, who built a rigid caste system to run the plantations, which is why Deep South culture runs on hierarchy, charm, and a long memory for who belongs there. Charleston, Atlanta, and Birmingham all included there.
Next up, we have Acadia, founded in the early 1600s by French Catholic farmers.
They were violently expelled by the British in 1755 and resettled in the Louisiana bayou as the Cajuns, which is a shortening of Acadians, which is why Cajun people are joyful, resilient, and unwilling to let business interrupt a good meal. Lafayette and the parishes west of New Orleans are the best example. El Norte, founded in the 1500s by Spanish Catholic settlers. The oldest European culture in America by a full century, which is why Norteños are independent, family-centered, and carry a confidence that doesn't need outside validation. San Antonio, El Paso, Albuquerque, good examples.
Next, we have the Far West, founded in the 1800s not by settlers but by corporations and the federal government hiring labor to extract resources, which is why Far West people prize self-reliance and carry a chip on their shoulder about being acted upon by distant powers. Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, all part of the Far West, including like Wyoming, Idaho, etc. Boise, Montana, etc. And then finally, you have the Left Coast, founded by in the 1840s by the New England Yankees who sailed around the continent bringing utopianism with them, which is why Left Coasters are very idealistic, very earnest, and have zero patience for irony about the values that they practice where they live.
San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, main examples. So, you have 10 nations, 400 years of settlement.
Every American city is running one of these as its cultural operating system.
Sometimes two in the case of New Orleans, which is basically Acadia plus Deep South. That's why it can't be That's why it can't be replicated. But once you know which nation your city is running in and which nation you are basically from, every everything about the currency of the place you live, everything about how you your family thinks politically starts to make a little bit more sense. Whether you're more collectivist, whether you're more libertarian, whether you're a little bit more progressive, whether you're a little bit more conservative.
Voting patterns follow these 10 nations as well. And so, chop it up in the comments. Hope this was really informative. Let me know where you live, let me know what nation {quote} you're part of. As always, be civil, be constructive, but I want to hear what you think. All right, peace. Now guys, one thing that really stood out to me from this discussion is the way some people are now openly talking about colonization and identity. The man in the video was basically saying that racism did not just appear from nowhere.
According to him, it was connected to conquest, power, and people trying to create a new identity for themselves after settling on land that already belonged to other people. He explained that many settlers came from Europe, but after generation passed, they lost connection with where they originally came from. At the same time, they never fully connected with the land they occupied because that land already had native people with their own culture and history. So, he believes this He believes this create an identity crisis that still exist today. Now, whether people agree or disagree with him, you can understand why these conversations are getting attention online. A lot of people today are questioning history and asking why racism and inequality still continue even after so many years.
Another thing he talked about was how colonial colonization affected not only native communities, but also the environment and culture. He was saying that when people only see land as something to profit from, they exploit it without caring about the long-term damage. That is why many activists today connect issues like racism, climate problem, and economic inequality together. But, I also think it's important to be balanced when talking about this topic. Not every white person today creates this system, and not every person benefit in the same way. There are poor people struggling poor people struggling families and communities of all races dealing with hard situation.
At the same time, history still matters because many system that existed today were built during times of segregation and discrimination.
One thing I noticed is that many people online are frustrated because they feel like racism never fully disappeared.
They believe it just changed forms instead of opening uh it they believe it just changed forms. Instead of open segregation like in the past, they say discrimination can now happen through housing, education, jobs, policing, and opportunities. That is why many activists keep speaking out and demanding change. But, I think one of the biggest problem today is division. People are becoming more angry with each other every single year.
Social media makes it even worse because people are constantly fighting, blaming each other, and attacking one another instead of having real conversation.
Some parts of the video became very extreme when people start talking about violence and conflict. Personally, I do not think violence is the answer.
History already shows us that violence create more pain, more hatred, and more suffering. Real change happen when people organize peaceful educate peacefully peaceful educate themselves, vote, build communities, build communities, and hold leaders accountable. Because if everybody starts seeing each other as enemy, society only becomes became more dangerous and unstable. We have already seen enough division in the world. People should be finding ways to solve problem, not creating more destruction.
Another important part of this discussion was about history and education. Many people believe school do not fully teach the truth about slavery, segregation, colonization, and the treatment of Native Americans. Other feel history is sometimes taught in a way that creates guilt a guilt and division instead of understanding. The truth is history is complicated. America achieved many things as a country, but it also has painful chapters in its past. Ignoring those chapters does not make them disappear. At the same time, constantly fighting each other over history without trying to move forward also does not help. I also found it interesting when they talk about identity in America. One speaker explained how different regions of different regions of America developed different developed different culture based on the people who settled there.
That actually makes sense because America is such a large country with many different background, traditions, and beliefs. The culture in New York is different from the culture in Texas and the different again and different again from California or the deep south. That is why political arguments in America are so intense. People are not only disagreeing about policies, >> [clears throat] >> they disagreeing about identity, history, religion, culture, and what kind of country they want America to become in the future. Another thing many people keep bringing up is the economic side of racism. Some believe racism was used historically to divide poor people and stop them from uniting together.
They argue that if poor black people and poor white people work together, they would change the system benefiting the wealthy elite. So, instead divi instead, division and racial tension kept people separated.
>> [snorts] >> You can see why this argument continue today because inequality still exist, many communities still struggle with poverty, poor education, lack of health care, and crime some and crime some people connect those problems directly to historical discrimination.
While others believe personal responsibility and economic policy matters more. That debate is still happening every day. The conversation about religion in the video was also controversial. Some people believe religion has been used in history to justify colonization, slavery, and control. Others believe religion has also inspired movements for justice, peace, and inequality. So, again, this is another topic where people strongly disagree.
>> [snorts] >> What I think matters most is freedom of thought. People should be allowed to ask questions, study history, and have discussions without automatically hating each other. Once conversations become only about anger and attacking people, nobody learns anything more. Nobody learns anything more. At the end of the day, racism is still a sensitive issue because its effect its effect did not disappear overnight. Many families still carry generations pain from slavery, segregation, discrimination, and poverty. Others other people feel blamed for things they personally never did.
So, emotions become very strong on all side. But, one thing is clear, ignoring these conversations will not make them go away. People want fairness, opportunity, respect, and truth. They want system that treat everybody equally regardless of race or background.
>> [snorts] >> And honestly, I think the future depends on whether people can stop seeing each other only through race and start focusing on humanity again. Because, if society keeps becoming more divided, angry, and tribal, every everybody lose in the end. So, when you hear people only discussing racism, colonization, and identity, understand that these conversations are coming from deep historical wounds, frustration, and fear about the future. Some people express those feeling peacefully, while others express them with anger. But, the real challenge is finding solution that bring justice without creating even more hatred and division. Anyway, guys, that's my thought on this topic. Let me know what you think down in the comment section. Do you believe racism today is mostly about individuals or do you think it is deeply connected to system and history? I want to hear your opinion.
Don't forget to like, subscribe, and I'll see you in the next video, guys.
