💬 Debate on White Privilege and Racial Wealth Disparities
This paragraph features a heated discussion on the concept of white privilege. The speaker refutes the existence of white privilege, arguing that it is a lie and a racist notion. They challenge the claim by pointing out that Asian Americans are the wealthiest group in the U.S., followed by Indian Americans, suggesting that wealth accumulation is not tied to race but rather to economic systems and individual choices. The speaker acknowledges historical advantages for white individuals but emphasizes that hard work and meritocracy are the keys to success, regardless of skin color. The conversation also touches on the treatment of Asian Americans in the past, the role of good choices in achieving success, and the debate over whether skin color or personal decisions play a more significant role in one's life outcomes.
🌟 The Rise of Asian Americans and the Myth of a 'Rigged' Society
The second paragraph continues the conversation by focusing on the success of Asian Americans, who were once the poorest group in America and are now the wealthiest. The speaker argues against the idea that U.S. society is rigged in favor of white individuals, using the example of Asian Americans to demonstrate that success is possible for all races. They mention that the Constitution was not written in Korean or Hindi, yet these groups have thrived, suggesting that opportunities exist for everyone. The paragraph also addresses the historical mistreatment of various racial and ethnic groups, including the construction of the railroad system by Asian Americans and the internment of Japanese Americans. The speaker contends that while past injustices occurred, they do not define the present, and that focusing on creating a better future is more productive than dwelling on the past.
🔍 Racial Issues and the Impact of Past Injustices
In the third paragraph, the discussion delves into the impact of historical injustices on present-day racial issues. The speaker acknowledges that every racial and ethnic group has faced some form of suffering but argues that the U.S. has made significant progress in addressing these issues. They mention the abolition of slavery and the passage of the Civil Rights Act as examples of America's efforts to correct past wrongs. The conversation also touches on the topic of reparations, with the speaker expressing their belief that focusing on creating opportunities for the future is more beneficial than trying to fix the past. The speaker also addresses the idea of racial segregation in modern society, questioning the logic behind black-only graduation ceremonies and dormitories, and suggesting that such practices are divisive rather than unifying.

Transcripts
yeah you said there's no such thing as
white privilege there is no such thing
as white privilege it's racist and a lie
prove it prove it prove
ites why an Asian Americans are the
richest people in America you made a
claim asian-americans are the richest
people in America per race
indian-americans are the second richest
okay wealth doesn't mean power in so so
so do you believe in Asian-American
privilege hey wealth doesn't mean power
and privileg do you believe in
Asian-American privilege believe that
there is a that there are a few people
of certain races who have gotten very
very wealthy based on trade based
on well the economic system that we have
um I also believe that as a white
man I
historically have an advantage over
people who are of a color that is not my
skin this can be this is evident from
the from the slave train all the way up
to reconstruction and all the way up to
gy
Pro I I assume based on your facial
expression that you have a report I'm
going to go ahead and let you make so
did we treat asian-americans well in the
1940s and 50s we sure didn't so then how
did they overcome that they overcame
that through
were they privileged having to work
harder than white people oh so they work
harder and they were rewarded for it 60
years
later how about people that work hard
for 350
years slaves yeah slaves what what do
you mean do you know anyone that's ever
owned a
slave do I know anyone that's ever owned
a slave yes does has a lot to do with it
what does that have to do with like
because if you make three if you make
three big choices in America you're
guaranteed not to live in poverty you
know what those three choices are get
married get get married before you have
kids get a job and graduate high school
you know what community does that at the
highest rate asian-americans that's why
they're successful we live in a
meritocracy you make good choices you
will be rewarded for those choices
irrelevant of your skin color when you
say White Privilege exists Good Choice
Privilege exists yeah but I think uh
white people reap a lot of benefits name
one benefit that white people that they
they benefit from this
despite treatment what police treatment
what about police treatment that that
that white people are more likely to be
shot by a police officer than a black
person's likely to be shot by a police
officer from the federal Bure of
investigation and Department of Justice
independent study of 300 independent
police forces across
the facts must bother leftist because
they always walk away as soon as
you ton of leftists here who are still
standing here well I've already made a
couple but I'm happy to oh you made a
that's great let's get
back that's quantifiable evidence if
White Privilege exists why are
asian-americans and Indian Americans
wealthier have higher incomes live in
better areas on aggregate than white
Americans do I don't know maybe because
White Privilege doesn't exist maybe or
maybe maybe it doesn't okay may maybe
skin color has nothing to do with it
choices have everything to do with it I
disagree with that then show me some
evidence because I just showed you some
evidence it doesn't exist what would you
take as evidence what count something
that I just said for example that the
wealthiest people in America numbers
would be nice historical data logic
testimony no testimony means nothing I
don't care about anyone's version of
truth I care about evidence I don't care
about feelings I care about facts AR
aren't most of these studies based on
partially based on testimony though no
when you say that asian-americans are
the richest people in America that's
math that's looking at people's income
that's not
testimony testimony would be a singular
person saying I've had a tough time that
would be testimony which that might be
true but that doesn't make it true in
the aggre I'm sorry there discrimination
there's discrimination against all sorts
of people yeah is it worse against black
people or is it equal depends what part
of the country it depends what situation
and when that exists there's laws to put
people in prison if you put them all
together which race Bas discrimination I
would say probably Hispanic Americans in
certain parts of the country even more
so but but I have no data to support
that you ask me some anecdotal question
I haven't done that much thinking about
it but I'll say this in
America if you make a sequence of good
choices irrelevant of skin color you
will be rewarded for those choices we're
one of the only countries in the world
where that is possible where you can
have intergenerational Ascension where
your kids can be better than how you are
today that's like kind of a fallacy it's
not a fallacy that's why Asian
that's why Asian amans entered in the40s
as the poorest group in America and
they're now the richest group The
constition was not written in Korean yet
they they have benefited the most from
what people call a white predominant
Society indian-americans for example
from India are the second richest per
race was the contitution written in
Hindi no that's exactly the point oh
okay got you the point is that people
say that our society is rigged for white
individuals white men the evidence does
not suggest that there's twice as many
white people living in poverty today
than black people now the rate for
poverty in the black community is much
higher but the aggregate number is
something that should not be ignored so
that the misconception that our country
is rigged Just For People based on a
certain skin color has zero evidence yet
that is the predominant thing that is
being taught in our University why did
it stop what do you mean when did that
when did be rigged because it clearly
used to be rigged you're saying it isn't
now that's a fair point I'd say
throughout the 60s and 70s and 80s as
America got significantly less racist as
we passed the Civil Rights Act things
got more Equitable in the sense where
better decisions got rewarded more and
you don't think that there could be a
lag effect of 350 years of slavery in
100 Years of Jim Pro I think those
inequities have been more balanced out
more so than it's even worth considering
that that 350 years of inequity for
example asian-americans built the the
railroad system in America in the late
19 in the late uh 1800s early 1900s in
America we put Japanese Americans in
internment camps in the
1940s Jewish Americans had an
extermination order against them in
Europe in the 1940s the point being is
that right so almost every racial ethnic
group has had some form of
suffering so to point to something that
happened a very very long time ago and
to attribute the inequities today wasn't
that long ago though when was when was
slavery abolished slavery was abolished
in 1808 the international slave trade
was uh was uh was gotten rid of but then
we actually resorted to Chad slavery
which is where we bred them uh like
cattle you're not going to hear me
defend slavery for a second I
mean one of great sins of the americ
it's one of the great sins of the
American story but you know what's also
admirable about it how we got rid of
slavery admirable about slavery no no
what's admirable about our history not
about sler okay thank you but we still
have dealt with like repercussions what
what repercussions would that me the
lack of the ability for certain people
people well such as who I don't know
like I was down in New Orleans right and
I see all these mansions and it's like
those people their old Mansions they
made their money they're probably slave
owners then you go into the black
neighborhood and SL they might have been
slave owners in
1865 accumulated wealth that can
compound
versus people that don't have the
opportunity okay so you're you're making
a fair point that there might be
intergen intergenerational inequity how
do you go about that well some people on
the left would say you tax it you take
away from what people used to have I
totally and completely disagree with
that what do you think then what is your
case do reparations then there's no
reparations I believe an opportunity
instead of trying to fix the past which
will never happen which is a horrible
idea you create a better future it'll
never happen no cuz you know why any
country that's ever tried reparations
has failed miserably South Africa for
example they've tried reparations the
last 30 years they're more racially
divided on the brink of Civil War than
they ever have been you think we're on
the brink of the Civil War I hope not
you think so no I said I hope not but I
asked if you think so no I don't think
we are but it's people on the left that
want us to be more divided than not no I
think it's like you you're here trying
to divide hold on a second do you
support black only
dormitories sure you do okay that's re
segregation you realize that no I think
if black people want to do that we
should allow them to because they have
to face well then would you support
white only dormitor no why cuz it's a
pretty much the school is white only
pretty much every is wide open I don't
know the demographic makeup of Oregon
but I would looking around I'd say it's
a more diverse campus than just being a
white only campus black people want yeah
so you believe in black only graduation
ceremonies at Harvard if they want that
sure why do I care why does it bug me
well it should bug you that re
segregating
the difference white people say black
people have to what's the difference of
skin color what's the difference between
a white person and a black person tell
you tell me what's the difference
between a white person and a black
person I don't know there's no
difference they're both human beings
there One race a human race differently
how are they treated differently give me
one piece of evidence what can a black
person not do in America that I can do
they get treated differently by the
police and I've seen it really yeah even
though the data shows that a black
person data can be used to lie
matter police departments are actually
capable of policing their own records so
the the ability even though most of the
inner city police forces are black
majority police forces are they such as
Philadelphia Philadelphia is a 44% black
city with a 56% black police force you
no it actually gives me happiness that
yeah cuz I I I care about all people and
I don't look at people on based on race
like you so you're postracial absolutely
CU it does not you're the one that wants
black only graduation ceremonies and
black only dormitories what you're okay
with them I'm not okay with that yeah we
segregated America we we because that
argument works for you and it's not
desegregated there's still a lot of
problems and like to say that people
want to have but the problems are not
based on race yeah they are of racial
problems in America you have yet to give
me any evidence or data or one piece you
believe that there are any racial
problems individually absolutely are
there indiv usually committed people
that are racist 100% do you believe that
there are President Trump is one of the
least racist people in America do you
believe no give me one give me one
evidence that he's racist how about he
got caught discriminating against giving
out uh complet total false not true
whatsoever you not wait no would a
racist president such as president
Donald Trump put a black woman as the
first Army Sergeant ever in United
States Army I'm not racist have a black
the first Army Sergeant the first Army
Sergeant ever in the history of of the
US Army that that's not true the first
woman Battalion Commander you can look
it up confirmed by the United States
Senate the first black woman confirmed
by the United States Senate in a
position of the United States Army ever
here's a very simple question for you at
what point does someone stop being a
racist in your mind I haven't thought
about you haven't thought about yet
you're quick delayable but you're not
quick to retract or have a line in your
head that's pretty dangerous isn't it
when they die when they die that's
pretty Sinister do you think I'm a
racist yeah are you a racist hold on a
second he thinks I'm a racist why would
you say I'm a racist just the stuff
you're saying name one thing up said
