White people think Discomfort = oppression

Maggie 🍉 :

As a white woman, I fully believe that most prejudice/discrimination directed towards white people is a defense mechanism cultivated by both world history and personal experience. As a group, we have behaved so terribly that our Black/brown neighbors cannot know who among us is actually safe to engage with, so they keep us at arm's length.

Christian :

As a social worker and sociologist! THANK YOU!!!! Racism is a tool used when you have societal POWER! Black people and POC’s don’t have any societal power.

claire.bear666 :

This is all explained in an intro to sociology class and it’s becoming abundantly clear that it needs to be taught to young people and be REQUIRED

aly :

The fact that white ppl wanna be down so bad that they wanna be a victim of racism 😂😂😂

hannah :

getting my masters in social studies education right now and it’s so crazy how deep racism is rooted into our country and how little people know about it 👁️👁️

frank.rlaw :

And white people will still disagree. I’ve had this conversation so many times and the way people are so quick to say “racism isn’t always systemic” or “well (insert minority) treated me badly because I’m white, so that’s racism” and completely refuse the information given to them. Or when they deny racism exists at all!

Jessayin' :

Sitting in discomfort is important to learn ♥️

Mira Mira on the wall :

White people are severely undereducated on this topic which is yet another form of institutional racism against black and Hispanic people lol

MASA :

hopefully they’ll listen to you.

Areyoutherelarry :

💯 plus most white people are experiencing classism that they view as racism. I also in this conversation love this quote by Lila Watson: "If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."

I like you ms Ryan 💯💯

What :

As a white person, I can tell you, white people just crave to be victims. I will never understand that mentality it’s weird. And that’s what it is. They want to be victims.😐

theaaliyahnovoa :

But when my black ah said this, I was called racist. 💀 Thank you for educating!

HandleReacts :

this video is good and you are correct

Abner :

Great analysis ma’am. But it’s annoying how this conversation has to be had every few years

Wilford Brimless :

Tell em! I appreciate your take on this. They really seem to not be able to understand the “systemic” part at all.

shannibanani :

Omg thank you for breaking this down so clearly.

Rachel Terriff :

I TRIED EXPLAINING THIS TO A WHITE MALE FRIEND OF MINE AND IT WAS LIKE TALKING TO A WALL....

🪴The Pan Planter Reads 📚 :

YES! Thank You!! I have my Bachelors in Sociology and the way I've tried to explain this to some people but they don't want to listen 🫩

brooklyn 🌹 :

we’re playing monopoly and you can’t buy anything or draw any cards. middle of the game i have properties, money, houses etc. and i change the rules and say okay now you can buy properties. you really think you have any sort of chance of winning the game? it can never and will never be fair. and a white person could never experience that

Tina LaShae :

Idk how it’s such a hard thing for white people to grasp that they are just not oppressed
