- Systemic racism affects every area of life in the US. From incarceration rates to predatory loans, and trying to solve these problems requires changes in major parts of our system. Here's a closer look at what systemic racism is, and how we can solve it.

Conclusion: stop funding schools using property taxes.
literally !!!!!!!
I live in a rural county. I'm in one of very few conservative counties in my state. We have some of the lowest property taxes in our state. We also have a lower population because the area is primarily rural. Very few "neighborhoods" exist where i live. Yet, our schools have consistently been named as some of the best in the state. We have schools with playgrounds and fields for lacrosse, football and baseball. (even at the elementary school) Tax revenue is hardly the primary reason for a school to be good or bad, it's the people in it. Other than that, it's just a building.
@@leftoverporkchop9972 not quite, redlining rules change by state, county, and town (again depending on the state) It's not federal so it can vary on how the state wants to fund rural areas.
@@nutella1343 agreed, however, per student our adjacent "big city" (in the news alot lately) outspends us per student by 80%.
@@nutella1343 not to mention after covid the schools received billions for upgrading HVAC systems etc. yet here recently they are closing schools as the summer temps arrive because they don't have airconditioning.
“His teachers are very well paid”
Yeah that’s a lie for any school.
Absolutely. Also, do these people think that schools in poor white areas also aren’t underfunded for the exact same reasons? This is video’s arguments are very flimsy
@@aaronlandry3934 False argument. There was no argument made that poor whites go to better schools. The argument is that if you are born white in America you have a higher probability of getting ahead than a non-white person. The argument made is that there was deliberate bias in choosing which district to red-line.
Ed Bruce No, this video’s argument is based on blatant stereotypes that every non-white person is poor and is therefore disadvantaged in life in multiple ways. However, reality pokes several holes into an argument this flimsy. The mere existence of poor white people debunks the entire part about race, because if it were race based, poor white areas wouldn’t also be redlined.
Additionally, it intentionally leaves out things such as Affirmative Action and mandatory diversity requirements for companies, because they contradict other points claimed in here that were likely drawn from some flimsy Sociology “studies” that cherry-picked evidence to go off of (imagine Sociology being unscientific. Unbelievable, I know.).
@@aaronlandry3934 I cast my vote here as well, the fact is education has been the down right culprit in much of today's issues. Much of education is wish washed into only providing a single perspective instead of exploring history to its fullest (Good and the Bad). The other thing is many cities that have high minority low wage populations happen to be cities with many corrupt politicians for many years. Keep voting them in and you will never see change in your area.

They really named the black kid "Jamal". LMFAOOOOO
I know like its a good video but like 😭😭😭
XD STOP
They did that on purpose. If you actually watch the video, they made a point in giving him a black sounding name because studies have shown white sounding resumes get more interview requests than other ethnic names. There are many studies where in an experiment where there's the same resume and the only variable is the name, the whtie names get more opprotunities. 3:05
That was the point. To show how implicit bias works...
It’s for the later example of “white and black sounding” names
This also applies to Hispanics in the US. Los Angeles an example. The low funded schools are segregated with 95 percent Hispanics…teachers underpaid and constantly pink slipped, and all mentioned in the video for African Americans. As well as teachers treating you like you are dumb for speaking Spanish.
This isu true, but I don't see yall speaking out against it, it seems like black folks have to fight yall battle.And they shouldn't unless ur black hispanic. I hear black fols say black and brown, but I don't hear hisapnics saying black and brown. Hispanic is not a race by the way its just a culture
I understand and agree wt what you are saying but brown people fall in the black category too y'all are black people too the first slave trade started in south America first
This video is extremely educational
Actually the city of Detroit has one of the highest education budgets and the schools still suck. Maybe change the leadership of the city
But they might still follow this system and that's why the system itself has to be abolished
Maybe if people take more time in grooming their children the schools could be a better place. It starts at home it's not the teacher's fault. Money can't build a better person if they have no interest in changing their habits and behavior.
@@KrowKaws but the system works in other places? It is what we make of it.
Train better teachers. They’re the ones that inspire or quell the dreams of children. If the child has no one to rely on in their life, then a good teacher that listens and cares and encourages can save them from poverty and failure.
You are exactly right. If a team isn’t doing well, get a new coach.

You can't stop people from having implicit biases. These stereotypes will always come to people's minds, and they themselves know that many of the stereotypes are based on true tendencies. But you can get people to remind themselves that not all individuals of a certain ethnicity necessarily conform to the stereotypes.

Wow very inspiring and relevant. The people in this comment section seem to never miss the opportunity to completely miss the point
Not once did they even hint at the concept of personal responsibility. The most important factor in educational success is not whether or not your school has shiney new facilities. The most important factor is what is going on at home. Kids that are from families with a mom and a dad will have a better chance of success that those from single parent homes. Kids that have successful parents as a role model have a better chance than kids who don't have good role models at home. This is not a question of skin color. Poor white kids from the trailer park are disadvantaged in the same way as anyone else. Why do these people who are always wailing about racism never want to talk about the impact of broken families?
Because that makes people think critically about their actions and people don’t vote for Democrats when they think about their actions.
CRT isn’t even correct because Asian Americans earn more than white families do on average (“evidence of Asian Supremacy”) and white Latino families are pretty poor on average. The most common link is not race, but Education.
Naturally, someone with only a high school diploma’s income is not going to stack well against someone with a bachelors degree’s income. Asian Americans invest very heavily into education, so stats match up
2:49 my father's company now has a new factor in hiring known as diversity.

There’s an Asian immigrant kid in Jamal’s district that scored higher on the SAT than Kevin.

Aren’t the terms “white sounding names” and “black sounding names” forms of implicit bias?
Aerospace Engineer99 I agree. In addition, if we follow the logic of the presentation, when people of African descent use “white sounding names,” are they then “appropriating” from the European culture? I believe this ideology is a slippery slope. Racism exists. However, to claim present systemic racism is a bit difficult to totally conceive. I think too many people compare themselves to others when they should be comparing themselves to how they were yesterday.

👏👏👏
Sure - your statement isn't wrong about matters that do relate with land/wealth (i.e. school resources, as mentioned at the start of the video). However you should also consider that only 10% of non-Hispanic white Americans live in poverty, while 26% of black Americans do (one in fucking four). Ideally you would want a system that means that black people aren't 2.6 times more likely to be in a poverty-stricken school district. Other issues such as incarceration (probably causing the greatest negative impact on black Americans as it becomes a lifetime sentence for the prisoner and causes mass disturbance in their families, with fatherless children often shown to have much, much more difficult upbringings) have more clear racial biases, but again, as you point out, could be related back to poverty. Black Americans have traditionally been incarcerated for "poor" drugs such as crack or heroine, while white Americans don't particularly suffer similar consequences for "rich" drugs, most notably cocaine. So yes, there is no doubt that racism is linked to poverty, but it's more likely that the relationship is inverse to what you suggest - racism causes poverty.
It sounds like redlining was done around poor African American neighborhoods more so than poor white neighborhoods. That’s what the video seems to be saying and re-enforcing with the fact that poor white people have been more likely to get a loan than middle class black people.
As someone who grew up in a poor white slum. daughterclam is not entirely accurate. We do not tend to get loans because we tend to be in far too much debt. Our cars get towed. There's barely any food to put on the table. Clothing comes from Walmart or other cheap places and rarely. The schooling is only good if you are lucky enough to find a slum in a decent neighborhood, or if the district covers a good neighborhood along with a bad one. There are much more African Americans in poverty than white's but the only way poverty is better for the white community is the job situation. It's only somewhat better for the white household though if you are comparing someone who is black to a single mom who isn't overly attractive. I love these videos for educational purposes because too many priviledged white don't realize these things, but I do admit it is detrimental to the poverty stricken white community since these videos do tend to cause people to determine if you are priviledged based on your skin color.
That’s what I was thinking how is this racist this happens all over the world it’s not white Privilege there is no such thing it’s just life there is all kind of people livening in Poverty not just black people

Would have liked to have seen more facts, resources etc to support the statements made in the video rather than simply giving a hypothetical narrative and calling it true. I think the problem, although very real, is highly oversimplified in this video. You pretend like the civil rights movements have not achieved anything and that literally every white person is a racist. I think it is dangerous to address a serious issue in such a populistic way. If this were just an example, fine ( maybe ) but the title literally says "Systemic Racism Explained" and it does not even scratch the surface.
if your not black you can't say what's true or false and Im telling you as a black person the civil rights movement hasn't changed anything..we are still oppressed through systemic racism that's a fact.. most black people live in the ghettos not white ppl y'all live in suburbs and condos also we get minimum wage while y'all get salary pay oh yeah theirs more because you obviously live on mars or something.. the jails are packed with blacks and the un employment rate is high in black communities then they created felonies to keep us out of housing and jobs, nobody wants to hire some one they think is a criminal right oh yeah it gets worse..our people have been raped, robbed, stripped from our language and culture and kidnapped. where is the justice we dont even have reparations and you talking about civil rights man you better get right with GOD because he will avenge his ppl

What I continue to find amusing is how “Hollywood” portrays blacks in movies and commercials. Although most criminals are blacks, the “good blacks” appear in scenes where their homes are beautiful and their life styles are very expensive. The interracial families are dressed in designer clothes. The kids go to awesome looking schools. They all drive around in fancy looking automobiles. The parents are doctors, lawyers, educators, highly ranked military and police men and women, politicians, and businessmen. Their kids play sports and attend top ranked colleges. I never saw these movies when I was a kid living in a Southie project! Gosh darn, we’ve come a long way as a country. Racial tensions have been calmed! The television commercials are even better. They’d have us believe that the U.S. population is one of interracial lovers, parents, and kids. Everyone is dressed in fine clothing, has a nice home, and has an expensive car. Seriously, this is wonderful. Blacks dominate sports, government, education, communications, businesses, medicine, entertainment, etc. Finally moving on! God Bless America.

My parents took me to church every Sunday, we ate dinner together most nights and my parents were sure to "practice what they preached".
There was never alcohol allowed in the house and my parents never drank or smoked in front of us kids.

I think parents also play a big role in education.
exactly.. all this madness starts how we raise children. the values and ideas we instill to them.
He addresses generational wealth and education though. So yeah, parents play a part but the system effects what parents are able to pass down to their kids
Even though that is 100% the correct answer, this would destroy the victim narrative of this video.
monkeemash it absolutely has so much to do with parents teaching their kids! Buuut if your great grandparents were denied good educations to pass down to their offspring and denied opportunities for careers that allowed them to be home at decent hours to “raise their kids right”... your life would look sooo much different. Black people with degrees were denied roles they were qualified for based on the color of their skin and the effects have trickled down, trapping them in a loop of not having educations or time to share with their children.
@@monkeemash Did you even bother to watch the video? He clearly addresses the role parents and grandparents play in systemic racism.
Did I just hear TR Knight explain this whole thing to me?!
A good example of systemic or institutional racism is showing preference in college admissions to people of color even when their test scores are lower than those of white or Asian people.
i will never imagine how anyone thinks that this is an issue even close to the scale of actual systemic racism, especially enough to comment it as if it’s a counter point to this video. just admit you’re a closed minded moron that refuses to understand exactly what we all know as fact. Systemic racism exists and favors the white majority. what else explains racial disparities? i’m guessing you couldn’t offer an explanation. thanks for trying though! maybe next time when your IQ increase or you reach the 8th grade, you’ll do better!

Whos here after seeing Ben Shapiro's response?
I’m here
Watch vaush’s response to Ben Shapiro, Ben is an idiot and vaush destroyed all of his arguments, same with hasanabi
@@Bilbosh4ggins Not really. I watched both Ben's and Vaush's response and Vaush's points and counterarguments were really bad. For example he said charter schools don't increase educational outcomes for minorities which is blatantly untrue. Another example is that he simply dismissed Ben's evidence that racial discrimination in employment goes away when the black names are something like Jefferson, which indicates that it's not necessarily the blackness of the applicant that employers are taking into account but rather their socioeconomic status as reflected by their names. If employers are using their names as a sorting device to infer socioeconomic status and the probability that the applicants are going to make good workers is not the same among black and white workers. You could only conclude that this was a result of discrimination if it was the case that the behaviors, attitudes to work, productivities, of black workers are going to be the same as white workers. There is no reason to infer this to be the case. In fact black people typically go to poorer schools, which you may argue is the result of other forms of discrimination which is a separate issue to tackle, but it is true that black people graduate from schools with far poorer educational outcomes than white schools. In essence if a resume says that both the black applicant and the white applicant both have a high school diploma, while on the resume it may look exactly the same the black diploma does not indicate the same thing about the potential productivity of the black person as it would for a white person. The simple reason for this is because black diplomas from black schools are not the same as white diplomas from white schools and indicate different levels of potential performance. Employers cannot merely judge every applicant as an individual without using heuristics like the fact that black people on average graduate from worse high schools than white people, and thus are more likely to have poorer performances on the job. The cost of judging everyone as an individual is often quite high, because no one has all the information in the world. This means we have to economize on the limited information that we have available to us in the world and employers must do the same, often by using race as a heuristic measure to ascertain socioeconomic status, educational outcomes, and criminal background/behavior to help determine their likely potential productivity and profit they'll bring the company. This logic is corroborated by the fact that employers who have the capacity and find it more profitable to take upon larger costs in their employment process to judge people more as individuals and not have to resort to as many sorting devices, actually hire more blacks then other businesses. In other words businesses are not discriminating against people simply because they're black but because their name indicates certain things about their potential productivity that trying to investigate further may be too costly.

Doesn't mean the system itself doesn't have these biases. Yes, Black people in America are better off than they were before, especially compared with segregation and slavery, but that doesn't mean that there aren't still systems in place that knowingly or worse unknowingly enforce rules that discriminate mainly people of color, especially black people and the poor as well. This is a system built by rich white men meant to benefit mainly them, now sure there are rich black Americans too, but the larger percentage of blacks are poor in comparison to white people due to many policies with favored white people more. Take the beginning of the suburbs with the Levittown, they were originally segregated or for whites only, that wasn't that long ago historically and that still has an effect today.

I think all schools should be funded equally based on the size.
@Andre K said, "I think all schools should be funded equally based on the size." I think schools should be funded by the students via vouchers that allows school choice even if it isn't in their district or if it is private schools. But unfortunately, the liberal elite want to protect failing public schools by denying parents their choice in education. Marva Collins was an educator who aimed high for poor black students in Chicago. [From an article after her death in 2015] "She began with four students, including her daughter, charging $80 a month in tuition. Enrollment at the school, on Chicago’s South Side, grew to more than 200, in classes from prekindergarten through eighth grade. It remained in operation for more than 30 years.
Ms. Collins set high academic standards, emphasized discipline and promoted a nurturing environment. She taught phonics, the Socratic method and the classics and, she insisted, she never expected her students to fail.
@@unclebearski3048 I agree with that also. The school boundaries need to go as well. Where I grew up there was no such thing as school boundaries. Kids were traveling from the country to attend school in the city.
@cleanholio they need to review it again
@@unclebearski3048 so what happens to the kids that are left behind in those failing public schools?
@@andrek5533 so what happens when those schools fill up?
Everyone should realize that teachers get paid a flat rate by the county they teach in, you don’t make more for teaching at a specific school in a county, it’s based off a pay scale that is unchanging and the slot you earn on the scale depends on years experience and level of degree you hold.
Also historically the public schools that pay the most are inner city schools since they have more money from city taxes. They also typically need to pay more for higher costs of living and to incentivize teachers to work in those schools that are more challenging due to larger class sizes and a lower levels of parental involvement.
The public school teacher salary system is negotiated by the teacher's union. If you don't like how salaries are distributed, blame the teachers union.
But extra funds and PTA funds do affect if teachers need to purchase supplies for their students or their out classroom. And lower income schools, the kids have less field trip opportunities. I worked with a school, inviting them to ballets, operas, and musicals to expose the students to shows they couldn't have afforded to attend and the school didn't have the funds to pay for the students. I worked with the local theaters to get tickets donated.
Why are subtitles on this video coming across a foreign language??
I live in a mediumly wealthy neighborhood. I have 5 black family’s on my street alone. And school districts aren’t based on color, they are based on the city or school district you live.

The problem with the idea of 'systemic racism' is that it is not a predicable model, nor does it take in account the true systematic co-motivators for the problem. It is a conflict-perspective view of society which I feel it the worst social approach there is. A large part of the problem never spoke upon is the car-based welfare only to poor driven urban planning we have created. It was even mentioned in the video about the local tax problem. That has the major impact that lead to Jamal living in poverty and crime. The way we develop our city into isolated communities and neighborhoods that are solely residential means that we are highly subjected to the effects of property, people are more protective of their neighborhoods, and rich and poor have access to vastly different resources. Throw the fact that public transportation sucks and the lack of blended public spaces, all of this has far more reaching implications on poorer people than systematic racism does in the modern world. The redlining does exist as does other racial motivated issues with police. I would never deny things where there is rightful evidence of such things, but beyond what we can substantiate, all else is speculative, which goes back to my original problem with the term. It's used simultaneously to be descriptive and prescriptive in a way. When we try to understand something we don't prescribe the motivations of all actors in the system as a foregone conclusion. It is totally possible that what looks like racism is motivated by multiple factors in reality. Also, it is important to know why the racism is occuring in the first place and not be essentialist about what the social-psychology of racism is. This is the realm of moral prescriptivism and is likely to actually have unintended outcomes for the people it proports to help.
Systemic racism does not exist in America
systemic racism is Demonic behavior, THE END!
I’m not so sure about what you’ve said. While I agree with roughly the first half of this. You are presenting this as: “if there are a multitude of factors that contribute to ‘x’ then systematic racism is foreclosed as a possible cause.” I also agree that systemic racism is too easily and freely used by people, often to the detriment of the affected but, in all of what you said, you never actually addressed why these race neutral mechanisms do statistically impact certain races more than others. Again, while I agree that the charge of systemic racism should not be so freely levied, I also get the feeling that many people irrationally recoil when they hear the term and seek to obscure the situation by “moving the goalpost” and essentially ask for direct evidence of a literal cabal making overtly racist decisions to disenfranchise a minority group which ignores the “systemic” component of the term. Lastly, based on what you said, why do you think racism exists?
@@jenlet3956 Answering why racism exists is a tough one and I think you could breakdown racism into several forms. Obvious being ignorant due to lack of interaction with a race or ethnicity and willingful hateful with a doctrine are different forms of racism but to the people experiencing them they might feel the same.
I think ignorance and fear are the two largest driving factors, while the human propensity for dogmatic thinking and tribalism are what can amplify these to larger forms of hatred. Education and integration are ideally the solution, but cultural proclivities can often serve as a wedge for two races or ethnicities from intergrating with one another. People will forever notice physical differences. People will forever abide by dogmatic thought about social interaction. And people will always adhere to the group by which they most identify. This is a sad reality, but I think maximizing positive interactions, dispelling stereotypes, and making society both functionally and systematically fair in terms of access to resources and education are the best shots we have.

@ He is correct though. If you were to take Jaden Smith and compare his life to the life of say “Trent”, who grew up in a trailer park, you’d get the exact same results. Does this mean that the system is racist to white people? No, race has nothing to do with the outcome here. The common link is economic struggles, not racial ones.
Another factor that may very well be relevant here is marital rates vs single motherhood rates. Naturally, a two parent household will be able to better provide for their children. Unfortunately, this is statistically uncommon in black American households: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure#History .

Solution: invest in online education. That way it's transparent, equal and universal for anyone that wants it.
One thing not mentioned- are students from poorer backgrounds are more likely to have to work throughout school and universities, which can interfere with their study time.
I'm a white kid from a lower-middle class family and had to work through college because none of the scholarships were available to me due the color of my skin. If you want to bring up not mentioning things.
Cali Marie My point is that inequality is systemic. Someone from a poorer background has the cards stacked against them - black or white. Americans have this idea that anyone who works hard enough can become wealthy, when that is not true. Some people can work their way to wealth, but many can’t. Students who have less time to study may get poorer marks, and so not get the best jobs or may have to drop out.
The relevance to race is a higher proportion of African Americans come from poorer backgrounds. This is not a conscious bias, but is a reality.
BTW the poorer American economic safety nets (compared to other OECD) is something I think Americans need to think about. Many of the issues being raised in this video affect poorer whites. So I would expect some of the solutions being proposed would be supported by anyone who is from a disadvantaged background, because they would help right across the racial divide.
R F Which is why Americans need to see inequality (economic, racial etc) as a systemic issue that needs to be addressed.
That's a great point, probably just not too relevant here.

I dont think it is just about racism anymore. I think it is going on based off of where you find yourself living period..
Martin Luther King said judge someone for their character and not their skin quit trying to impose oppression just by someones skin
That’s not what this video did
Not a single fact in this video holds up to scrutiny.
I agree, the whole video is garbage. The video doesn't address the 70% single mother families in "Jamal's neighborhood".
Travis Arredondo maybe there fathers of these kids are incarcerrated
@@LARealEstateChannel No doubt, after committing serious felony crimes.
@@travisarredondo1103 Keep asking the question why and you'll get back to the point of the video which is systemic oppression. You don't need to activity try to do something for it to still have an effect presently.
Why are the fathers not there, incarcerated, killed, or abandoned the family's. (Not a strictly black thing, but a byproduct of the environment poor persons live in)
Why were they incarcerated?
1. Committed a crime trying to gain money due to reasons mentioned in the video but with a lot more to be added o don't have the time to type. And there's more policing in these areas.
2. Dead- These neighborhoods have more crime due to poverty. So there's excess policing, more policing and more crime means the police are likely to have violent encounters or have biased views due to their knowledge of the being more crimes. Also persons attack each other due to poor economic opportunities and lack of education.
3. Abandoned- unable to deal with supporting a family and having to resort to the above mentioned.
The why is always the most important. And these why is the environment. This environment makes people ignorant, impoverished and thus more likely to resort to these negatives. It is in no way indicative of one race its a human thing.
Where it now becomes racial is when people in power with wealth understand that to maintain wealth poverty is essential. And thus decide which minority should be disproportionately affected through laws that are passed. Black individuals are outnumbered 7 to 1 in America. So ofc there will be more white people impoverished in terms of numbers. Look at the actual percentages now. That's where the stories lie.
If u keep asking why and answer honestly i bet u that you will always return to
1. Slavery
2. Wealth and power that were assigned to non blacks after slave.
3. The laws that stopped back people from owning and passing on wealth generationally
4. The implicit biases caused by these actions.
(I DO NOT CONDONE NOR JUSTIFY ANY OF THE NEGATIVE DECISIONS PEOPLE MAKE DUE TO THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT I WILL SAY I AM MORE INCLINED TO UNDERSTAND.)
@@samoryedwards281 Being poor does not mean one must commit crime. Each crime is a choice made by an individual. Each individual is responsible for their own decisions. I don't believe in making excuses for criminals.
