White Woman Warns Black Americans That the Dominant Global Culture Is Under Attack

[00:00:00]So, while we're on TikTok fighting against each other, black men against black women, I want to direct your attention to to Mississippi. Mississippi has just passed or brought back into law Jim Crow.

[00:00:14]Don't think for 1 minute that it's not going to come to these other states.

[00:00:17]They're just testing the waters with Mississippi, okay? So, while we're fighting one another, white supremacy is waging a war against us. And we're going to have to stop this foolish fighting that don't mean anything. We're going to have to create our own think tanks to get us out of this mess that we are in.

[00:00:38]I can't say it and express it or convey it enough.

[00:00:43]We are at war. They are at war with the black Americans. And if you care about your children, if you care about your own freedom, y'all better stop playing and wake up and see >> Black people, the reason why we're not getting nowhere is because we're not committing enough crimes against humanity. We're not. The Asians and Hispanics around and caught Stockholm syndrome to these white mother.

[00:01:09]When you become the villain, that's when people really respect you. And until [music] we understand that >> Maybe the reason you're not getting anywhere and people don't respect you is because you commit too many crimes.

[00:01:20]Y'all have been the villains.

[00:01:21]>> The reason white people hate black people is because we cannot tolerate black joy. We cannot tolerate black intelligence. We cannot tolerate black beauty. We cannot tolerate black confidence. We cannot tolerate black camaraderie.

[00:01:40]We cannot tolerate anything that frees a black person.

[00:01:46]There's a level of racism that I think hits differently for black people than it does for Asian people or Hispanic people or Middle Eastern people or Native Americans even. Each one of those things that people think regarding other races are different with black people, I think.

[00:02:08]Because again, we don't like black people to be educated. We don't like them to be successful. We don't want black judges.

[00:02:15]We don't want [music] anything for black people that doesn't directly affect and entertain us.

[00:02:23]So, we can have a black nanny.

[00:02:25]>> [music] >> We can have a black house cleaner. We can have a black teacher. We can have a black coach. We can have black players.

[00:02:32]But, only for the specific things that we feel comfortable with. I think about [music] all those sweet children that have been killed, murdered when they go out with their white friends. [music] And I think that as much as the trauma of slavery comes down through the DNA, >> [music] >> I think also the cruelty of slavery.

[00:02:54]The desire to hurt, the desire to steal and [music] kill, and humiliate and torment, and disappear black people is what comes down through the DNA. I think when you do something like that for long enough, and you pass it down for the many years that slavery and enslaved people were in chains, that is an instinct with us, cruelty. And I think you can see it in many videos.

[00:03:19]All the white women and white men that are telling black kids and black families to get the hell out of here, you don't belong. We just don't want you to have more than us, honey. We just don't want you to be prettier. We don't want you to be the beauty standard. We don't want you to be judges or anything like that.

[00:03:32]We want you to be below us, beneath us. And we've tried so hard to keep you down, and we failed so badly.

[00:03:41]Because like Maya Angelou said, still you rise. We may hate you. We may beat you. We may do those things, and it makes us crazy that you keep coming back and getting better.

[00:03:52]We can't stand it. I don't know why that is.

[00:03:55]White people are the ones that have the ancestors that were closely related to the apes.

[00:04:01]We are so similar to Cro-Magnon man.

[00:04:06]Neanderthals, we're we're [ __ ] pale monsters.

[00:04:10]I really hate being white sometimes.

[00:04:13]I'm super ashamed. I I think this world is listening to us and we comes down as >> Your friends and your aunties and your cousins are lying to you.

[00:04:24]You are not better than neither are we.

[00:04:29]But if we did go tit for tat I mean, do y'all really want to start taking polls?

[00:04:39]Cuz if y'all if y'all want to do the who's got the best twerk and who can do the dit dit and dit y'all got it. Y'all got it.

[00:04:45]Y'all got it.

[00:04:49]Let's take a poll on um feminine soft-spoken waking up all natural with nothing but naturalness.

[00:05:02]Do y'all want to start taking polls on very specific things?

[00:05:07]Because this um delusion >> It's about to get >> It's holding you back.

[00:05:13]>> It's about to get messy.

[00:05:14]>> you're up and you're not.

[00:05:21]I'm really frustrated that y'all made me have to do this. She's going to label me [snorts] a racist.

[00:05:26]She's a racist. Why? Because she can speak the truth bluntly, so. Y'all don't like that. Y'all don't like that. Y'all Y'all need someone to your feelings. That's why you surround yourself with a lot of people that feel just like you and they y'all bump each other up and y'all are all in this big crowd. And the whole world is looking at you right now like >> [sighs] >> Hey.

[00:05:50]>> You lose.

[00:05:53]And it's not because you're BLK.

[00:05:55]It's because of how you're acting.

[00:05:57]Because based off your actions and your words and your behavior.

[00:06:02]I know y'alls I know these brothers been trying to tell y'all this for a long time. They've been trying to tell y'all.

[00:06:06]Y'all didn't want to listen to them, right? Then then they go tell the white tea girls like oh the put on the brothers so they like they did let me look at your [ __ ] [ __ ] they ain't lie.

[00:06:13]Real no lies detected.

[00:06:15]>> Y'all, this is going to get the ladies out of control because this woman is basically calling y'all out and saying that if you got something then show it.

[00:06:27]Cuz basically what I've been seeing coming across my timeline and this was the cherry on top when y'all sent this one into my email. But what I've been seeing on my timeline is basically white women saying and having conversations openly and saying yo y'all can't compare. You're not in the same space as us. You might be able to twerk. You might be able to do this, but your attitude is bad. You don't have any feminine qualities.

[00:06:52]>> Go back to the plantation, boy. Hey, how you doing? How you doing, boy?

[00:06:58]Don't come near me.

[00:07:00]>> Do what you got to do. I want you to spray me. I want you to spray me.

[00:07:04]>> Boy!

[00:07:04]>> Ain't nobody to worry about you.

[00:07:12]>> Hey, how you doing, boy?

[00:07:14]>> Okay, so this happened somewhere in Georgia looks like at a Sonic drive-thru. Now, I'm not sure what sparked this racist outburst. And just real quick for some of y'all who may not understand why saying the word boy is racist, it is a derogatory word used by racist white people to demean and demoralize black men and rob them of their manhood and respect. So yes, her calling him boy over and over again is a racist term because he is black. And then she also said go to the plantation or go back to the plantation. That is obviously racist. I don't know what got into her to say these things to this person. I'm sorry guys and I know some of y'all don't want to see it, don't want to say it, but I'm going to say it.

[00:07:58]This administration has made people so bold in their racism.

[00:08:03]It's It is honestly pretty insane. There's also something I noticed on her license plate. It looks like that she has a navy insignia on the license plate, which makes me sick because as some of y'all know, I was in the military. I was in the navy. And this is not a good representation of the United States military. We need to spread more love and if you agree with that, follow me and maybe we can show this racist lady how to share love together.

[00:08:31]>> domination over white men while at the same time subjecting the black enslaved male to her control.

[00:08:37]>> [music] >> Foster also contended that such pursuits were not uncommon as demonstrated by testimonies from the American Freedmen's Inquiry Commission established by the Secretary of War in 1863 [music] which took depositions from abolitionists and slaves regarding the realities of slave life.

[00:08:54]Such depositions [music] included stories of sexual liaisons between enslaved men and their mistresses.

[00:09:01]Indeed, there is considerable documentation of white women forcing black men [music] into having sex.

[00:09:07]Captain Richard J. Hinton, an abolitionist commander in the Civil War, stated >> [music] >> "I have never found a bright looking colored man whose confidences I have won who has not told me of instances where he has been compelled >> [music] >> either by his mistress or by white women of the same class to have connection with them."

[00:09:25]One former slave told Hinton that his mistress ordered him to sleep with her after her husband died.

[00:09:30]Foster further concurs with scholars who argue that rape can serve as a metaphor for both enslaved women and men as the vulnerability of all enslaved black persons to nearly every conceivable violation produced a collective rape subjectivity.

[00:09:50]Most Americans know that George Washington owned enslaved people at his Mount Vernon home, >> [music] >> but fewer probably know that it was his wife Martha who dramatically increased the enslaved population there. When they wed in 1759, George may have owned around 18 people.

[00:10:05]Martha, one of the richest women in Virginia, owned 84.

[00:10:09]>> [music] >> The high number of people Martha Washington owned is unusual, but the fact that she owned them is not.

[00:10:16]Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers, a history [music] professor at the University of California, Berkeley, is compiling data on just how many white women owned slaves in the US >> [music] >> and in the parts of the 1850 and 1860 census data she has studied so far, >> [music] >> white women make up about 40% of all slave owners.

[00:10:35]Slave-holding parents typically gave their daughters more enslaved people than [music] land, says Jones-Rogers, whose book They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South came out in February 2019.

[00:10:48]What this means is that their very identities as white Southern women are tied to the actual or the possible ownership of other people.

[00:10:55]>> [music] >> White women were active and violent participants in the slave market. They bought, sold, managed, and sought the return of enslaved people >> [music] >> in whom they had a vested economic interest.

[00:11:07]Owning a large number of enslaved people made a woman a better marriage prospect.

[00:11:11][music] Yes, you heard correctly.

[00:11:13]Once married, white women fought in courts to preserve their legal ownership over enslaved people as opposed to their husband's ownership and often won.

[00:11:22]"For them, slavery was their freedom," Jones-Rogers observes in her book.

[00:11:26]Previous scholars have argued that most Southern white women did not buy, sell, or inflict >> You know, if all I did was call out racists, more specifically racist white women, I'd have no shortage of content.

[00:11:36]Whether it's the woman in her feelings because black-owned businesses exist and she's not the target demographic, even though never have I ever seen a black-owned business say, "You can't shop here." When in the not-too-distant past, we did see white-owned businesses say that, which is why black-owned businesses had to exist in the first place. Or the woman, upon hearing "Dear white women," is so internally offended that she felt to rebut, not understanding that in that moment what a black woman is doing is trying to give her a perspective that she's never going to get on her own cuz newsflash, she's not black. It doesn't matter your proximity to blackness, you're never going to fully understand the black experience. And that in that moment, all you need to do is shut the [ __ ] up and listen. If it applies, take it. If it doesn't, just let it go. Cuz of the thousands of things that you'll see on the internet every day, not everything is for you or about you. And if it's not about you, it doesn't require a response. So, in short, if it applies, take it. If it doesn't, be like Elsa, let it go.

[00:12:35]>> Just feel like the black community, they have tried to warn all of us.

[00:12:40]>> Yeah.

[00:12:41]You right. We tried to warn you.

[00:12:44]But you just didn't want to listen.

[00:12:46]>> Anyone else feel extremely drained? Like no matter how much sleep I get, like I just feel tired. I feel drained.

[00:12:55]I could sleep for 8 hours and I still feel drained.

[00:13:01]I don't know what is going on anymore, but something really doesn't feel right.

[00:13:06]>> Class consciousness. I'm sure you've heard the phrase a ton over the past couple of days, but let's break down what it means. It's kind of exactly what it sounds like, understanding where you fall under the current economic system, and recognizing that your struggles are shared amongst all others in the same position, regardless of race, religion, gender. And it's the awareness that your personal challenges, let it be the cost of rent, student debt, low wages, they aren't personal failures, but a direct result of how society is structured. The system is actually designed so that it only benefits those at the top, while those at the bottom fight over crumbs.

[00:13:32]When we all develop class consciousness, we stop seeing ourselves as isolated and realize the power we all have together.

[00:13:37]Instead of shaming people for what they don't have, we start understanding why they don't have it and imagining something better. Historically, class consciousness has been a huge driving force for major movements of change.

[00:13:45]Think labor movements in the early 20th century, workers banding together to fight for fair wages, safer conditions, and things like the 8-hour workday that we take for granted now. Or take the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't just fighting for racial equality, but also organizing to unite the working class across racial lines.

[00:13:59]>> It is a crime for people to live in this rich NATION AND RECEIVE STARVATION WAGES.

[00:14:05]>> Class consciousness shows up wherever people realize we're stronger when we organize. And it's no coincidence that historically movements like these have been met with resistance. The system does not want people waking up to their collective power.

[00:14:14]>> So, a lot of colored people are waking up to the realization that black folks have always been right.

[00:14:21]They are literally waking up to finding out that black people have been right all along. They are now finding out that black folks have known and seen the truth.

[00:14:36]You guys have to know that there is more deeper spirituality in blackness.

[00:14:41]And now they are finding out, okay, because this whole thing is now glaring in their faces. All like before now, black people could only sense it, but now it is knocking. And they all are feeling it and now confessing on camera that black people were right. Hi my loves, welcome back again to my YouTube channel. So, I'm going to let the rest of the videos roll, then I'll come back with more commentary. Credit belongs to the original creators of these videos.

[00:15:05]Don't forget to like, subscribe, share, and drop your own take in the comments.

[00:15:09]I will come back with more commentary.

[00:15:11]Let's go watch.

[00:15:12]>> I am so done with this world. It's starting to become so draining. Feel like I know too much, and I feel like I'm done trying to bring awareness to people who act like they're allergic to knowledge. Do you know when the saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss"? It really is. The division is manufactured. The outrage is designed to keep you distracted while the agenda moves forward. And if you still think this is about left versus right, you're lost.

[00:15:32]You are completely wrong. This is about the people versus system.

[00:15:35]>> You care about getting black people out of poverty. Okay, you wanted attention.

[00:15:38]I'll give you some attention. If black people were actually taken out of poverty, they would stop voting blue.

[00:15:42]Okay, so Democrats know this. They know that they have to have that carrot on the stick of like, "We're going to save you. We're going to help you get out of poverty. Just keep voting for us. Keep voting for us so you keep getting welfare. Keep voting for us so you keep getting snap benefits." Instead, [music] instead, there's a saying, "Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime." All right, Democrats would rather give a fish here and there and keep black people in poverty and keep black people voting for them based on dumbass policies like the ones that you're talking about instead [music] of teaching black people how to get out of poverty. But I want you to understand something. There are black billionaires.

[00:16:18]Okay, there are black millionaires in America.

[00:16:21]>> [music] >> So for you to act like black people cannot get out of poverty on their own, mhm, is racist, in my opinion. You look down at black people because you think that they're going to stay in poverty unless you save them.

[00:16:32]>> [music] >> I, however, think that black people are more than capable of getting themselves out of shitty situations. As I said before, we have black billionaires and millionaires in America. [music] This little fake idea that y'all created that you care about black people because of some dumbass policy that y'all are pushing is just a Trojan horse. Have you ever heard of Black Wall Street? Did you know that Democrats actually burnt it down? Is that one of the policies you're talking about that's getting black people out of poverty? Oh, did we forget that part of history? That's so weird.

[00:16:56]Did we also forget that Democrat cities also get more federal funding if their crime rates are higher? Wait, so am I saying that they want more crime so that they make more [music] money? Oh, but my capitalism, my capitalism. No, no, no.

[00:17:08]That's actually corruption. Also, aren't y'all the ones that say that statistically white people are the ones that are more so on welfare? Isn't that what y'all say all the time? So, would that mean that white people are actually poorer? That's weird. That doesn't really go along with your [ __ ] narrative. So, anyways, back to reality.

[00:17:24]I think black people are more than capable of tying their own [ __ ] bootstraps, and they don't need the help of a white liberal helping to >> Facts. Facts. Facts. Facts. Facts. There have never been more facts kicked in such a short span that I'm going to have to break this down line by line and talking point by [music] talking point because the most feared person is walking around in the United States of America is a heterosexual Republican conservative black man.

[00:17:52]Honest to God, because we are more than capable, and it would cause the collapse of the Democrat party if we decided that, "You know what? I don't want to tie myself to the federal government.

[00:18:04]You know what? I don't believe that it's anybody holding me down, this mythical white man. And you know what? I'm more than capable of taking care of myself, my family, and all I got to do is put my mind to it, and that's the end of the conversation."

[00:18:17]We would break [music] all kind of records, barriers, all of that. But that is the reason why they continue to keep you fed with propaganda, anger, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, and [music] federal government food stamps and benefits.

[00:18:35]And what Trump understands is that they orphan us in the system and that they are continuing to monetize crime. So, if they get a little bit of pushback that, "Oh, wait a minute. We got all of these community programs where we defunded the police, and we decided that we going to allocate it over to a bunch of people that saying, 'Stop the violence. Stop the violence.'"

[00:18:58]So, we going to funnel money money. We going to launder it through, but we want y'all to continue to send us resources so that we can try to stop the violence.

[00:19:06]>> So, since this seems to be a topic of conversation on TikTok right now about how black Americans are choosing to opt out of >> [snorts] >> be on the front lines um against everything that's going on with uh this stuff that's outside that starts with a I. White and non-white people alike have felt comfortable coming to the internet to say that black people should not be sitting out of on this one. And I want you guys to really think about what you're saying because black people have never had the option to opt out and they are not really opting out now. They're just choosing not to be on the front lines because when they're on the front lines, only more brutality comes after that and people die and nothing changes and they've been fighting forever. If you really [ __ ] think about it, black people have never stopped being a target. Just because other people are targets now does not mean that black people are still not a target. Do you know what I mean? Don't you think if they could sit this out that they would sit out police brutality, too?

[00:19:53]Also, they have, like I said earlier, they've been fighting this fight for a long time. And guess who didn't care?

[00:20:00]Guess who said, "Maybe you should follow the law. Maybe you shouldn't be a criminal. Maybe you shouldn't do X, Y, Z." Finding every excuse in the book.

[00:20:10]>> So, yeah, that's really rich. That's really rich for you guys to be telling black people that they need to be up and fighting. They have been fighting. They fight every single day of their lives.

[00:20:17]When they go outside, there is no guarantee that they are going to be safe from police brutality or just any type of brutality from the government. Like criminal justice judicial system, etc. These are all things that they cannot opt out of.

[00:20:30]>> I will say I think there's like a privilege. I know that sounds crazy to being, you know, having to do more than us and having gone through so much. I think that we've heard a lot about spirituality.

[00:20:40]But I feel like because you guys have gone through so much, there's like an enlightenment to you. I always feel such a draw and just so seen in a way that I don't feel as much with white people, I would say.

[00:20:52]So, I mean, I will just say that I feel like you guys are magnets and and I hope that your voice gets heard more because I think that there has been a lot of trauma of just invisibility and in way of rising through it and still being survivors and stuff. Um I don't know. I've always felt like it's been super special. And I'm so thankful for the relationships that I've had.

[00:21:15]>> No [ __ ] Not [laughter] the bridge being built.

[00:21:18]Not the bridge.

[00:21:19]>> I will never forget. Let me just say when I was younger, I will never forget looking over as a young kid and seeing a black man get out of a Mercedes and something I was like, "That's success."

[00:21:29]And there was just always that that vision. And I don't I know it doesn't have to be like a superficial symbol, but there's just something implanted in me as a young kid. And um I I had a buzzed head when I was young and I felt um like I I think I've allowed myself to see that like having shorter hair as a female like I haven't seen myself a lot on um you know, in the media. And I've heard that be a complaint of a lot of other people of not feeling that represented. Um so, I think kind of feeling othered a lot in my own world in just a small way had me me feel like a kinship. And so, um I think that while there's privilege to being white, I feel like there's another privilege that doesn't get spoken about of actually having to suffer because those are the people that really knows how to like have resilience and rise up and actually listen and just thrive. So.

[00:22:19]>> I know that we were just celebrating the bridge you made and I don't want to tear it down, but I think I had a different response seemingly than the rest of the room to that. I know that you mean well by that and I can see that you're very genuine. I have a really hard time sitting with the idea that the significant trauma that the black community has experienced in this country is has made us enlightened and that there's like this beautiful spiritual quality that it's given us cuz I think it looks it feels, and maybe I'm just speaking to the way that's landed for myself, like a huge bypassing of how genuinely traumatic that is to be like, "Well, look at you. Like you're you're you're radiant now."

[00:23:00]>> No, >> not saying that.

[00:23:01]>> Like I'm saying that you've >> you've been through something where it's like we're over here and we can who knows if how much we've even been through.

[00:23:09]>> Yeah, and like I I'm not disagreeing with >> rolled your eyes at so many people that have been speaking. So, I don't know if that's your immediate >> a lot of really insane things have been said.

[00:23:17]>> I don't know if that's your immediate response is just to roll your eyes. I don't might not have the best like language with it, but I know that like on a soul level, like I feel I I have a lot of awe and respect. And I appreciate >> get that a lot. Um >> Take it where you can get it.

[00:23:32]>> Yeah, I I I appreciate that. I All I'm saying is this idea that somehow having endured what the black community has endured in this country and um coming up the other end barely surviving. There are people right now who are not surviving. That that's somehow a privilege is ludicrous. And like I don't Maybe maybe I completely what you said completely landed wrong with me, but that's how I took all of that and that's that's all that's all.

[00:24:01]>> So, there's a lot of talk about immigrants just coming over here and doing so much better than black Americans. First of all, they compare us to everybody. They put us in a pot with everybody. Y'all comparing us against a bunch of different people from different countries and different ethnic backgrounds. We are one group of people from one country. Let's start there.

[00:24:19]Comparing us to Ethiopians, Kenyans, Nigerians, Jamaicans, Bohemians, uh Middle Easterns, Egyptians, Ukrainians, Japanese, Asians, Chinese. Like that's absolutely insane. Let's just start there. Second of all, we've faced systemic racism in this country. I think this goes over a lot of you all's head.

[00:24:45]We've literally been economically disenfranchised.

[00:24:49]Y'all really don't understand because you have not gone through it. You, with your immigrant self, you were able to come into a system where you have rights, you have certain freedoms and liberties that you are afforded and awarded because of the plights and the fights of black Americans. You didn't have to fight for anything. And because of your immigrant status, you already come in with a clean slate. A lot of you all identify as as a pale face on your documentations.

[00:25:18]You have a clean bill of credit.

[00:25:21]Your social security or whatever type of EIN, whatever type of number you're using, it's not the same. We literally are just playing by a different set of rules. And I'm going to let this uh this clear woman explain it to you. It's a little lengthy, so you know, grab your popcorn, stick around, but I'm about to stitch this and we're going to listen to the whole thing because she breaks it down very well. And y'all tend to listen to them more than y'all listen to us.

[00:25:44]So, listen to this. Hold up, I'll be right back.

[00:25:47]>> at systemic racism. You're looking at trends >> Listen.

[00:25:51]>> that have affected the wealth gap between the races historically in the United States. This is not about a person being a racist or your grandma being a racist. It has to do with what what the economy looked like for white persons and black persons historically in this country. Back during the time of the Civil War, the white folks had 56 times more wealth on average than a black person. So, it was 56 to one. Just 10 years later, in 1870, after Reconstruction, that gap went from 56 to one to 23 to one. Pretty dramatic improvement in 10 years. The reason for that market improvement is that while black people were now allowed to purchase land and assets, so black wealth was going up, simultaneously, white wealth was coming down because what was a huge part of their wealth?

[00:26:36]Slaves.

[00:26:37]Human beings that they were no longer allowed to own. By 1900, the gap had closed all the way to 11 to one. The average white person had 11 times more wealth than the average black person.

[00:26:46]And then it stalled out. And the reason it stalled out is because black people were still being discriminated against.

[00:26:52]They didn't have the same access to credit, if any access to credit.

[00:26:55]Legislative attempts at narrowing the gap were shot at trying to finish narrowing the gap were shot down, like the 40 acres and a mule thing that never got passed. They faced widespread discrimination in education. The schools were still segregated and they weren't getting the best funding and they weren't getting the best teachers. They were discriminated against in the workforce. Now, from 1900, when it was 11:1 to 1960, over 60 years the gap squeezed a little bit smaller to 8:1.

[00:27:20]So, for for every black family that had $10,000 in total assets, the average white family had $80,000 in total assets, okay? And how did that How did we go from 11:1 to 8:1? Well, a couple things happened. FDR made it illegal to discriminate against black workers, but only for purposes of the military and government positions, but still every little bit helps. And then also, you had World War I and World War II. So many white men left the American workforce that black men were finally able to start moving up into higher paying positions. It doesn't mean they were paid the same as the white person who had previously done that job, but they were being paid more than they were previously and they were getting access to higher skilled work. So, then by the 1980s, the gap had closed 5:1. And what was helping close the gap? Civil rights that had taken place between 1965 and 1980. Fair Housing Act, federal minimum wage that did not discriminate. So, those things were helping close that gap just a little bit. So, that takes us up to 1980, but what has happened in the last 45 years? We were at 5:1 gap. How much have we closed since then?

[00:28:19]None. In the last 45 years, we've gone backwards. So, we are now at a 6:1 gap.

[00:28:24]The average white family has six times more wealth than the average black family. And why is that happening? Well, because wealth compounds. It's not just about who has the ability to earn X salary, it's that the white families were starting with more wealth, more property, more stocks, bonds, etc. And they're able to compound that wealth.

[00:28:42]Whereas, if the black and brown populations are starting without those assets, they don't have the ability to compound. They end up having to spend what they earn.

[00:28:49]>> Mhm.

[00:28:50]>> They have to consume the majority of the income that they're earning just to sustain a living.

[00:28:54]>> And through all of that, you all still are not doing better than us.

[00:28:59]You're not. We have millionaires, billionaires, people that are making high six figures, people that are making low six figures, people that are college educated. We've gone through the gauntlet.

[00:29:14]And a lot of what we gone we've gone through, you all were actually able to hijack our civil rights movement and turn it into an immigration movement.

[00:29:22]So, you should be thanking us instead of trying to compete and compare because we've been in this country since the inception.

[00:29:30]And we've continuously fought. We've continuously built. We've continuously, you know, honed in on our skill sets.

[00:29:39]What the hell have y'all been doing in y'all's country that >> A few years ago, a creator named Sierra Thompson caused an uproar when she said that one of the most dangerous groups in the US is white women. What she was referring to is the long history of white women's lies leading to horrifying acts of violence against black Americans. For example, in 1921 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a 19-year-old black teenager named Dick Rowland accidentally bumped into a white woman named Sarah Page in an elevator. Page screamed and ran away, and a lie spread that Rowland had assaulted her. This gave a white mob the excuse to go on a murder spree that left hundreds of black people dead in what came to be known as the Tulsa Massacre. Two years after this massacre, something similar happened in Rosewood, Florida. When a white woman named Fanny Taylor falsely accused a black man of assaulting her, a white mob went on a rampage through the black community murdering dozens and throwing the bodies into mass graves. In 1955 in Mississippi, a white woman named Carolyn Bryant lied and told her husband that a black teenager named Emmett Till had tried to assault her. That night, Bryant's husband went out and kidnapped Emmett Till, tortured, and murdered him.

[00:30:53]Neither Carolyn Bryant nor her husband ever faced any consequences for their actions. This dark history is the reason why Sierra Thompson argued that white women can be so dangerous. And she was also responding to several cases across the country in the past few years where white women have called the police on black people, putting their lives in danger. For example, in 2020, a white woman called the police on a black man bird watching in Central Park after he asked her to put her dog on a leash.

[00:31:22]Because police encounters with black Americans so often turn deadly, many people argued that by simply making that phone call, this woman was setting herself up to be an accomplice to murder. If we look back at history, what we find is that sometimes white women have played a terrifying role in the violence against black people. And there were even some women who made a career out of calling for this kind of violence both in the United States and around the world. In the 1920s, Ray Beveridge, a former actress turned right-wing activist, went on a speaking tour across Germany where she protested the presence of black troops in that country. As part of the Versailles Treaty that ended World War I, the Rhineland in Germany became a demilitarized zone. And when the French army occupied that territory, they enlisted black soldiers from Senegal. People like Beveridge began a racist campaign calling for these black soldiers to be removed from Germany to protect white women. Her speeches were titled The Black Horror and The Black Shame. One way that she drummed up racist fears was by constantly warning about the threat of mixed-race children to the purity of the German race. During her tour of 25 German cities, Beveridge warned about the brutal cravings of these savage blacks for white women. In one speech, she said that the Negro has much less capacity to think, but much stronger sensual feelings than the white. She said that black beast with a wild erotic drive would assault white women, white girls, and white boys. She spread blatant lies about how the victims of this unregulated passion of black men would often be found close to death. Their bodies torn through the brutal attacks. Some of them with wounds from bites, which showed obviously how the wild black beast had fallen upon its victim. Every single time Beverage gave a speech, she would include dozens of outright lies, such as that 60% of the children of mixed-race were born with syphilis, or that in German brothels, every girl has to satisfy 10 black men every 3 hours. She even took propaganda photos like this one, where she held a well-nourished black child and a malnourished white child, trying to claim that black children were treated better than white children in Germany.

[00:33:47]During her speeches, Beverage constantly used the N-word when describing black people, and she argued that the use by France of black troops on the Rhine was detrimental to the culture of the world.

[00:34:00]She instructed her listeners in Germany to solve this problem the same way that American men did in the South, by lynching. She told them, "Your weapons have been taken away from you, but there is always a rope and a tree. Take up the natural weapons used by our men of the South. Lynch. Hang every black who assaults the white race." Often crowds of 50,000 Germans would listen to these speeches, which Beverage was paid extremely well for. Another white woman who called for the lynching of black men was the feminist Rebecca Latimer Felton from Georgia. In 1897, she warned that black men were roaming America with a license to degrade and debauch. During one speech in Georgia, Felton said, "If it needs lynching to protect white women's dearest possession from the ravening human beast, then I say lynch a thousand times a week if necessary."

[00:34:56]Now, it's important to note that these accusations of an epidemic of black men assaulting white women were completely false. In the 1890s, the anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells conducted in-depth investigations into these charges. She found that in a majority of lynchings, the accusations of black men assaulting white women were false and were only invented later as an excuse to justify this racist violence. The fact that white women played a key role in racism and white supremacy should come as no surprise. From the moment that enslaved Africans arrived in the Americas, white women were critical to the maintenance of slavery and white supremacy. In the book They Were Her Property, Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers shows that white women employed management techniques that were as effective and brutal as those used by slave-owning men. White women actively participated in the slave market, profited from it, and used it for economic and social empowerment. The role of women in white supremacy hasn't gone away, either. Ever since Trump won in 2016, many people have argued that his victory was rooted in white supremacy and racism. And white women played a key role in electing Trump in 2016 and 2024. Also, in the past few years, we've seen a disturbing rise in white women openly embracing anti-black racism and being proud of their potential to cause harm to black Americans. In 2018, Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith told an audience that if she was invited to a public hanging, she'd be in the front row. Many people pointed out how disgusting this statement was considering that Mississippi had the highest number of lynchings of black Americans in the country. For decades, two to three black people were publicly hanged or burned alive in Mississippi every week. In 2019, a white woman named Nancy Goodman was caught on camera calling a black woman a stupid in-word in a restaurant.

[00:36:58]When she was later asked about the incident, she said she would happily use that word again. More recently, a white woman named Shiloh Hendrix called a black child the in-word at a park in Minnesota. When she set up an online fundraiser, she raised over $600,000 from people who left comments like, "White unity will unite. White stand strong. And white rise." After this story spread around the world, a white woman named Lilly Gaddis went on the Piers Morgan show. And she not only defended Shiloh Hendrix using this racial slur against the child, but she admitted that she frequently uses the in-word herself. When white women admit to using the in-word and take pride in their ability to weaponize their whiteness and put black lives in danger, they are following in a dark legacy in this country that goes back to the days of slavery and lynching. That's why it's been so disheartening to see some white women come on this app and talk about how they have black fatigue. Whenever any white person uses this phrase, we all know what they're really saying.

[00:38:01]Black fatigue is just another way of saying the in-word. And we've seen this kind of rebranding before. We saw how in the early 2000s, white people started using the word thug instead of the in-word. We've seen how racist used the term alt-right when they were really describing the same white supremacy this country has always dealt with. What's so troubling about this conversation around black fatigue is that it fits into a trend of white women gaining influence by using racist dog whistles. When people like Ray Beverage spread her hatred in the 1920s, she reached thousands of people. Thanks to social media, the Ray Beverages of today can spread their hate to millions. Now, I want to make it clear that by covering this information, I'm in no way saying that we should condemn all white women or use this history to incite violence or hatred against any women. We can't change the past, but we can change how we act in the present and how we work together to build a better future. We have to stand up and condemn racism whenever we see it, no matter who it comes from. Because the only real fatigue comes from living in a country that is still poisoned by racism and division. The only way to move forward is united as one.
