      Covert gnatsi signs and symbols are often used by radicalized alt rite game boiz to "hide their power level". Radicalized alt rite game boiz try to convince their betters that BLM and Antifa are the REAL racists. They do try so very hard, but No one is buying it, not even their fellow radicalized alt rite game boiz.

Don’t care how black the president is , he is still only a representation of a system that was in place and established during slavery by slave owners.

      @@deemays12 I realize it's tempting to believe that, but that really isn't it. I mean, sure, there are actual white supremacists out there-and try to remember that white people, just like black people or any other people, are not a monolith!-but the fact is, it's difficult and takes effort to step outside of your own reality and circumstances and empathize with and truly try to understand the circumstances of others. Frankly, most people, including most white people, are just bad at it.
      Your average white person thinks that the talk of police shooting black people constantly is overblown because THEY'VE had encounters with the police, and the police didn't shoot THEM. They think, "Oh, you just needed to act differently, and then it would've been fine. They wouldn't've shot him if he hadn't been doing X."
      It honestly doesn't occur to them that the police would have approached them, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, completely differently had they been black during their own encounters. And since most people are lazy and don't do research, they generally don't know that there are studies that show how black people are shot 3-4 times as often as white people by police even when you control for response to local crime rates.
      They don't experience it personally, and they don't do the research. They live in a bubble wherein it never happens because it doesn't happen to THEM.

    Woof. This story brought me back. One day I was driving to work and there was a driver's license checkpoint on the backroads I used to drive into the city, it was being used to train new deputies. I pulled up to checkpoint and handed over my license and also my concealed carry permit as kind of a friendly "Hey, just wanted you to know, I'm armed" kind of a way, because that's what my grandpa told me to do once I got it. The deputy trainee looks at it and looks at me and asks "So you have a gun on you?" and I tried to manage a friendly smile and said "Yes". He backs away like I'd just told him I had a body in the back and draws his gun and actually aims it at me, dude was completely panicked. The Deputy running the checkpoint stopped it pretty quick, apologized, and I went on my way.

      @rehecked Yeah yeah yeah. Blah blah blah.
      Keyboard killer.
      Your judgment will come soon enough. I don't waste my time trying to reason with trash. Whatever druggie skank s!@t you out will probably be the same demon holding your hand in hell.
      Like I said before in so many words.
      You and others like you are running out of time.
      Let me tell you a quick story.
      I attended private catholic schools from 7th grade up. Now my parents couldn't afford to send my siblings and I to these schools. We all got academic and athletic scholarships. So I was a poor black kid growing in around my small Midwestern cities 2%. There were more drugs and kids who broke the law but got off Scott free because of mommy and daddies $ than any public school I had been in or heard off.
      I encountered a few, albeit much richer and better educated, white people such as yourself. I just shrugged it off personally but was truly in awe by one constant.
      The majority of the friends I had, a few I still have absolutely HATED the poor or rich, bigoted white people like you.
      I literally had never even heard the term " WHITE TRASH" ( a label that I am sure you yourself has been tagged with your entire life) until I attended private school.
      I mean it was confusing at first but the more my friends explained it to me and I saw how they treated and interacted with people they labeled this, again, Americans like you. The more clear it became. They HATE you. I mean it was a visceral reaction at times. Like people such as yourself were some strain of " Coronavirus " or STD that disgusted them. They would go out of their way to hinder and harass these kids and adults every chance they got so much so that I refused to participate unless I first was attacked or harassed by people like you.
      My point is. You have no real allies in this country. My, OUR, country were true Americans live, work, play and worship together. They use you like pawns. Muppets that they do and will just throw away once you have managed to " SLUG" your way through the assigned task they've manipulated you into.
      Thats why we see just as many, in some cases more white people in these protests than even people of color. Especially the younger generations who have grown up with close friends and family members of different cultures.
      You sir are the one in real danger and I mean this with true sincerity and even a snapshot of pity. Thats why the overwhelming majority of sucm like you hide your faces and mask your true identities. You know it as well.
      Civil/ Racial war? What a joke. Only an idiot who swims in pools of fantasy belives that a RAHOWA in America would end with one side or race completely winning. There would be no more America.
      Do you really believe that the white, Hispanic and Asian/ East Asian population of this country would allow a group of people they are truly disgusted by take tear apart their country and comfy lives? 🤣😂😂🤣.
      As I said in my first reply you. You should just " shhhhhhh". WE ARE HERE NOW. Actively searching and revealing the identities of Americans like you for a reason.
      We are sick of it. The cowardice, ignorance and simple minded nature people like you represent...
      Go take a dive in your child raping daddies golden toilet you P.O.S.
      You have no real allies here..

      In South Texas, other then being questioned by ah Asian deputy once stating "you sure you don't want to tell me about something" during a traffic stop for a Lic plate light. No problems at all! Just in-case your curious. I had just parked my Peterbuilt on the back of my lot in my yard. Decided to go to the store, and he pulled me over.
      After he made the statement, I said "I just got through dropping off a trailer diesel , I've always figured that shooting around that would be ah bad idea so I leave my guns at home when loading and hauling that stuff" He thought, and said have a good day. =) He was fishing any ways.

      I'm cherokee and European American mixed.
      I was born with disabilities.
      Age 13 I was hit ranover dragged by van. Suffered permanent brain damage loss of brain tissue neurological complication.
      In high school I was attacked beating and jumped by groups of blacks / African Americans.
      They didn't care I had disabilities.
      A different time i had been jumped by these two black men. They tried to rob me. They ripped my pants.
      They didn't care I had disabilities.
      At age 21, I was attacked by two black men who put gun to my head. They were trying to kill me.
      They cut skin on my head and made me bleed. They beat me down.
      They didn't care I had disabilities.
      3 years ago in 2017. I was in a relationship with a Somali woman. Her family accepted me and depended on me. But the truth of her is she lied cheated use me controlled me hitting an abusing me.
      She didn't care I had disabilities.
      In present-day Africans are leaving Africa and going to u.s. because Africans are killing Africans in Africa.
      I suppose African Americans don't understand that Africans traded African slaves to Europeans.
      I suppose African Americans don't know that Europeans had European slaves.
      How we can fix this racism as they call it.
      Send the Europeans back to Europe. Send the Africans back to Africa.
      Send the Asians back to Asia.
      And leave USA alone for the Native Americans.
      Then if one's going to be killed by another it would be by their own skin color.
      apparently no one has an issue with African-Americans getting killed by African Americans. But apparently if a Caucasian kills African-American they're calling it racism.
      Regarding the George Floyd case. I understand police brutality. Regardless what skin color one is police are doing a lot of police brutality. Because they have a gun and a badge.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have to encounter law enforcement with that type of mindset so I'm probably not the best person to give my two cents and I understand that if you want your rights respect that you have to flex them. I have an amazing amount of respect and adoration for any black man or woman with the courage to do this and I wish them all the power in the world to stand strong in the face of what's been happening in this country.

He absolutely thinks you should have and use this right. He just doesn't want you to get killed doing so. I sincerely hope you re watch this and listen to his advice. You absolutely deserve this right and to not be shot for exercising it. The reality of the situation is, most police aren't there yet. Even a black cop would as soon shoot you before taking a chance. They're indoctrinated in this thought process. He nor I want to see you or any innocent black man get killed for this.
      I know you're angry, and you have every right to be. Being angry doesn't help any situation though. You have to stop, cool down, and rationalize. Again, please re watch this video because this man cares about you and your rights. He cares about your life.

    I used to think "white privilege" was bull. But then I came to the same realization that you mentioned at the beginning of this video. I can do one thing while having a firearm and go home to sleep in my bed. A black person can do the same exact thing and take a permanent nap. Coming to that realization made me understand the full scope of "white privilege"
    I feel like a lot of white people just assume that "privilege" means they had life easy meanwhile they've not had an easy life in some way or another. But the term privilege is something a lot deeper than that for sure. I hope more people come to the understanding that as white folk we can get away with a lot more than any other race in the US. And it's simply not right.

My question to beau if I had a chance to ask him would be...Beau would u stand up for a rightfully armed black man against a white cop or just a regular white man/woman in a case of his rights being violated? Or will you be on accord with your white privilege? That didn't sound like good advice to me. It sounded like someone who doesn't want their privilege to go away by way of blacks standing up against the oppressions that got us to this point in the first place. Nice sentiment tho.

He’s saying that steps needed to be taken to normalize it before they SHOULD act in that way due to the amount of risk involved in acting that way currently. Not that you shouldn’t be able to if the system wasn’t as fucked up as it is. Though I agree that black people should do whatever their rights allow them to, and that if those rights are violated, the one violating should be punished.

      Xelu The most American White man is Thomas Paine the true Father of this great Nation. We’ve all been lied to by the one precent who are the White good old boys that run the World for now!

      Xelu May I suggest reading “The Declaration Of Independence” one of Thomas Paine’s greatest achievements! Read the original Draft because the one the rich White man teaches in our schools takes out a very important paragraph that should be very interesting to a Black person in general. There’s a reason Thomas Paine is almost forgotten in World history!

Another thing I've noticed - the contribution of African Americans, out of all proportion to their numbers, to the musical culture of America and the world. You guys are INSANELY talented and have given the rest of us so much to enjoy whilst you've had to deal with institutional racism at the same time.

    I once was caught showing my pistol to a friend in a parking lot at like 3 am. I was leaning on the roof of my car, clearing the weapon and a police officer came right up behind us. I froze and he said, "well this is awkward..." I put the weapon down, showed him my ID and CCP and everything was cool. He even complimented my piece. After the exchange, my friend and I both said, "that would have gone WAAAYYY different if we'd been black..."
    Honestly it was at that moment I truly understood white privilege for the first time because at no point in the entire interaction did I ever fear for my life. It was a little tense because I didn't know how he was going to respond at first, but I knew I wasn't in danger and I know that wouldn't have been the case if I was black.

His action was a felony, and I should have pressed charges, but I was serving my country overseas as an American diplomat and was on vacation with my family in America, and couldn’t go back and forth for a court case. Please educate your family because what happened to me should never have happened. I could tell that this white man had been fueled by Trump, and he wanted to kill a black person. Luckily, I didn’t pull out my cellphone because he would have killed me. I was humiliated and had to beg for my life while my 82 year old mom watched from the back seat in horror.

    Beau you are giving a voice to those who don't have a voice. SADLY SKIN COLOR MATTERS. It's 2019 and we as a society haven't moved past it.

      Me too, Antoine. This had me tearing up too. This guy is so on point, and I have had several Black folks scared to exert their 2nd Amendment rights simply because of the points he makes in the video.

    I love how you are just straight up . No bullshit just honest. And you give advice from a place and in a way that just screams " Ive been there". Advice from a person that has been thrre holds alot more weight than from someone that just thinks they have the answers to everything. And you acknowledge racism and its dangers but obviously no a racist bone in your body. You are the kind of role model i want to be to my little white nieces and my little biracial nephew . They are whst i live for and i want to do right by them. I learn alot from you. Keep up the good work.

      We all have a racist bone in our body. And that's ok, as long as we try and understand and improve ourselves. But yeah he is a nice guy and so are you. Since you you seem to be the only white person who I can see commenting on this video. Meaning A: you care about other people's problems and you act on it. Yes you have mixed nephews. But so do many other people and they are not here.
