Only because people are immediately diving to saying "THATS RACIST", if they actually watched the video they'd realize that the girl saying everything is racist isn't supposed to be taken seriously, you're supposed to react to her the same way you would react to the really racist white people at the beginning (the "what's up biatch" for example). The whole thing point of the video is that dividing ourselves by race is stupid, and that both white and black people do it
[QUOTE=Zeke129;39902268]if I had to come up with a stereotype of white culture I'd say we come across as a bunch of whiny little entitled shits who can't bear the thought that society is moving in a direction where we might not be the centre of attention anymore, like a toddler who tries to set the cat on fire when his baby brother is born

I don't think the video is trying to say that black people do it too, it comes across more as "flipping the situation around"
why do all of you get your panties in a bunch when max posts something
i dont like him but i can guarantee people wouldnt care as much if it was just some random person

Then why are the racist white people in the beginning played straight?
The back professor even tells her that her show is racist and trying to stir up problems
Edit: She even responds saying that black people can't be racist and refuses to think otherwise. She's not supposed to be noble, she's supposed to look dumb, just like the racist white people
[QUOTE=Shadaez;39902301]I'm just repeating the same shit people say to us when we don't think making fun of black people/women/whatever isn't funny. It's hilarious that they get all offended when people generalize all white people as racist assholes.[/QUOTE]
"They do it, so why can't I?"
People being douches isn't a justification for being one yourself. And if you really do all this to stir shit up ("it's fun watching people getting mad over something I say"), what's the point? That's just outright trolling, and it's destined to do nothing but annoy people and turn them away from your cause. We post in pretty much the same sections, and I don't necessarily agree with the title you got yourself, but at this rate it's gonna fit one day, really.

(because it's satire)
I thought the point of the video was that trying to apply a culture to an entire race is stupid
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39902561](because it's satire)[/QUOTE]
What's the point they're trying to make?
It's about cultural insensitivity and how, during the process of cultural reappropriation/reclaiming, white people lose certain privileges as black people try to earn some resemblance of respect within society.
Also, it's about how race divides us on both sides, from internal racism among blacks (creating tv shows that encourage black stereotypes, such as tyler perry) to people saying "how black do you have to be to be black" to white frat boys saying "well, it's funny if we host a negro party because it's ancient history, right???"
I thought it had a decent point but the trailer execution ended up just being so confusing by the end. I don't even know what it's for - a movie? Was this just an advert? I'm not even sure.

Alright, which one of you did this?
Most white folks don't even know who Charlemagne is.
It's like asking, "Do you support women's suffrage?" to a bunch of Joe Sixpacks. They'll all tell you no, because they think it means suffering. It's not common knowledge.
(If you live in the American South, try it. There's been local news broadcasts of people doing it and getting 100% no's, it's hilarious and sad. I could go on with all the Southern educational horror stories I've heard.)

Oh also about "white racism" and "reverse discrimination" - racism towards whites hold a different sway. In America, there is an institutionalized, internalized, and cultural creation of black racism. Like sexism, it's [i]inherent[/i] within the culture.
So, can a black person be racist towards a white person? Only the same way that a woman can be a misandrist - through personal prejudice. There's no basis for white discrimination in America's institutions, just as there's no basis for misandry. So it's a lite form of racism, one which is really based on some form of personal prejudice. And it's usually reactionary, and is rarely based on inherent physical flaws.

Hell you'd get a similar result asking the same thing in a liberal highschool and some unis. Most people just don't know a lot of words.

Depends when it comes to highschools and unis. I mean, if we're talking a strong english/poli sci departments, you're getting a lot of straight answers :v:

Either way though, it doesn't actually headline the local news when that happens at a liberal institution. But it does in the South. Really odd.

The video to me as a black person is a stand against the racism no matter where it is and not matter how low key. I understand that some people feel that this video is racist but I don't see how. There is a strong difference between racism and being proud of who and what you are. I will never tell a white person that it's "racist" to be proud of being white. If you are truly offended by this video than I think maybe you should just get thicker skin and start living in the real world.
The only funny part of this video is the guy dramatically smashing a watermelon
