You guessed it.....MTV

Youtube video

[MB.]

Can we please stop posting this arsehole's videos and base our arguments on something slightly more credible instead; I thought he'd die down after the election but clearly not

[Tom4784]

Ugh, not this ridiculous potato of a man.

White people can't be racist?

It is an interesting debate if we can all try and act like adults and not start insulting eachother

His voice and face go right through me, irritating trog. GO AWAY.

Obviously anyone can be racist (Avenue Q promo?)

Yes there's a huge difference - in terms of how big a problem it is and how unjust it is - between personal instances of racism and widespread/institutional racism (ie. the police discriminating against black people) but it exists as a rarer phenomenon.

Maybe you could post something that in your opinion is more credible then?

I'm not the one making a thread, but I don't know - how about a news source, rather than some video a bloke made in his bedroom a year and a half ago? Just a suggestion

(ps I watched the original video and a minute of scrolling into the comments threw up "god I hate this socialist Nazi bitch", "you are human cancer", "this nasty ****" and "you just went full ******", so if that's the kind of stuff this guy's videos incites, yay indeed)

I don't think you need a news source to confirm that sections of all societies can be and are racist, I agree with Shaun's comment about institutional racism though

[Withano]

I would define racism (any ism) as an attack or intolerance towards a minority group. I think we can all agree it would be difficult for a minority race to be intolerant towards a majority race of their perspective community, which I presume is the girls point.. But perhaps a minority race can be intolerant towards a different minority race, which I presume is the blokes point.

Cba to watch the video though because I cant stand the bloke, I'm only reacting to the title and the first twenty secs.

[MB.]

The issue of institutional racism seems to be what the woman in the video is talking about; the only problem I can see is that she doesn't actually label it as that and it's been turned into this "MTV says black people can't be racist!" thing as a result

What about in a case where say a white person lived in a mainly black area and experienced discrimination because of their colour, would they then be the minority race or not?

[Crimson Dynamo]

yes coz I am sure that white people in all parts of Africa dont suffer constant racism...

Yeh, I would say so.. I was desperately trying to think of an example when I wrote the post above, but couldnt think of one haha.

Some areas of South Africa perhaps may see racism towards caucasians? Im sure theres better examples

I do think Shauns post is spot on though

I pretty much agree with all of this tbh.

[Crimson Dynamo]
