Boomer Advice

An argument about a particular topic. The Baby Boomer Generation is the generation after World War II; those born between 1946-1964.

When a Presidential candidate is asked a question, and they believe that a straightforward answer will be used against them, they may avoid the question instead.

If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say, Don't Say Anything At All
Переглядів 135 тис.4 роки тому

The Truth About Videos That Begin With "The Truth About"
Racism is racism it't not right to exclude black people for being racist it logically doesn't make sense. Most people are going to excuse it because of slvery and j!m crow laws that happened years ago yes we have to acknowledge that it happened and that we need progress from it but we cannot go backwards by this ignorant phrase "Black people can't be racist" excluding bad behavior is enabling to our group its the same thing that happened back then ignorant thinking like this is what led to what happened in black history
'Black people don't have institutional power' and yet BLM exists
the other "convenient" part of this is that those that make the argument also get to claim white people are racist even if they never personally showed any prejudice towards any race, just because they are part of a demographic that supposedly benefits from it. Its an easy ticket to collectively shame an entire race, which, ironically, is a very racist stance
You were good, so good...
Great. Now I want a Jennifer Lawrence YT Channel with her explaining stuff.
I actually have a pretty big hate towards this argument and I'm pretty left-wing. It also does a disservice to black people because when you look at the argument from a more geographical point of view the argument kind of falls apart. Example Uganda expulsion of it's Asian population. My point is the argument is saying black people have never been in power but this simply isn't true. Sure in the US this argument might work in some way. But in general Africa is pretty much run by Africans with the one exception being South Africa. Yes Africa dealt with colonialism by European but when Africa did start to be run by Africans racism did still happen.
A suggestion for you: talk more naturally when narrating your videos. You're over-enunciating your words, and it's annoying to listen to.
I have never done any of that either so i guess i can't be racist.
This is great stuff, thank you for pointing this out. But does anybody know what someone has to do to fix this habit?
Richard Spencer was always a larper. It's embarrassing that people took him seriously.
Dude...I miss this channel.
All blacks hate all whites. Somehow white people are racist. The strongest predictor for white people being racist is interaction with blacks.
political correctnes doesn`t allow people to have a meaningfull and constructive conversation, since when ever there is a debate, we always have to redefine what words mean instead of using words that have been created for past 100 years to define everything. When ever we are imposing a speach to people ,, you have to say this and you have to call them like so" that is komunism, dictatorship, totaliterian regim in disguise as democracy. i am ready for an argument. juts let`s first define words we use and what they mean.
The Mad Hatter just entered the chat room and screamed
If there is a God, then I SHOULD not desire to mu®der. Whether I do desire such says more about me than anything else
Revive it, bring more sides on it bro. This is too good!
Came back because he got me through tough days
America is a White Christian Nation!
If Jack didn’t win the tickets in the poker game,and rose STILL survived which she probably would,they could’ve met somewhere else…
"...genital mutilation of little boys..." How can a properly done circumcision be "mutilation"? How can it be 'mutilation' when it makes the 'thang'"more attractive to the opposite sex? One guy wrote that his wife spontaneously began to give him oral sex after his circumcision. There are videos on UA-cam where young "ladies" are asked their preference, "cut", or "natural". the vast majority of them said they preferred the "cut" guys. A few said it didn't matter to them. Not one preferred the "natural" man. I believe one of the "ladies" said something like, "Ewww! I don't want anything to do with that nasty mess!"
The idea that circumcision makes it more attractive is something you'll never hear outside of the US, where uncircumcised men are rare. Personally, I think that circumcised penises are pretty grotesque. They look unnatural. That's because they are.
What a cretinous argument. The butchers who mutilate girls would say exactly the same thing. As for the silly video you mention, let me guess which country it was recorded in? Again, a video recorded in a part of the world where FGM is prevalent would have men saying they prefer 'cut' women. And if you think that's justification enough for the butchery of girls, you're as much of a monster as they are.
Notice in recorded history not one group of black people has ever lynched a white person.......i find that hard to believe don't tell me it's never happened!
Paul mooney was too scared to say treat white people the same way they treated you and 80 percent of native Americans were black..... They love it white racists when we're cowards!
No the power argument that gets me bS do you hate a colour if he just said white and black racism doesn't work in the same way notice you never see someone saying the N word and saying they are pro black. However when ever i type black people treat white people the same way as they treated black people i get blocked mysteriously!
ask yourself this. why do certain people on the left in murca feel so strongly about not being called racist for their racist actions against white people?
according to these definitions, racism on a personal level is impossible. so since i PERSONALLY don't have power over others, me saying "i hate n-words" is not racist since racism is only about institutional power. y'all leftists realize that the words institutional and systemic weren't put in from of racism just for decoration right?
i ditched me half iranien ex-friend because he was a fan of moonie. i don't need some half iranian immigrant telling me it's ok to be racist against white people.
OIL ISN'T OILY, DIRT ISN'T DIRTY... yeah sure and water isn't wet huh? wtf
Oh, I remember when I watched these videos and somehow liked them. Holy moly did some of them age like milk.
Jack HAD TO DIE, because he was fictional and it was written in the script.
Bro u miss your vids.
I'm Spanish. and all racism towards me has been from black people. They are the most racist people ever while screaming racism.
He didn’t die he was just a sleeping
The state has been given the authority to run prisons and the justice system, so that is why prisons are legal to hold people for committed crimes.
Exactly. If it is wrong for a citizen to kill a person, why is it OK for the government to kill a person? It isn't!
So thank you!
12:52 i love this delivery, the acting in this movie is so good
ice isnt cold...it makes everything around ot cold....
I still miss this channel so much
as a Mexican American so you saying that when a blk person be racist to me or anyone we have to be reasonable man that's freaking crazy and sad how some not all made up that up but its like one time I've seen a video on tiktok of a Mexican woman getting treated prodigious and with racism at a subway and the blk woman told her to go back to Mexican we don't need brown people in this country she said but like i already know not all them think like that or you know the stereotypes that other poc including whites say about them there's still good people in this world
It’s kind of unfortunate that even women who hate anti-semites would get punched by dangerous men that would end up showing to not care about the rights of Jewish people. Please beware of white supremacists, a guy who would punch a woman while on her bed that used to care about him would randomly bring up the KKK before the physical violence he inflicted. A guy ever hurts you please remember the right to get away, and the right to inform others on the right to leave. A guy that dangerous I do fear would be a risk to Christians as well, stay safe out there to whoever reads this comment. ☮️✡️✝️🛐
we all miss jack 😢❤
Within recent years I've seen way more racism being prepertrated by Blacks against Whites than the other way around, they are also racist towards Asians, Latinos, Arabs and Native Americans even Bi-racials as well as those said races can be racist towards Blacks, any race can be racist towards another race, it has little to do with slavery or systemic power so the debate is nonsensical.
Boomers had a balanced highly populated demographic
The current Sergeant major of the Marine corps (highest ranking enlisted man) is Latino, and we recently had a black Sgt Major of the Marine corps. Quit making these hard working men sound like weak ass victims.
Maybe they can't be racist by that definition but they can be racially discriminant.
When you look into the vapid, beleaguered eyes of Kelly Ann Conway, staring past the entirely plastic face, and deeper, where an atrophied, delusional, smooth brain is supposed to go, and you will realize that you are staring into the void. There is noting behind the early 2000s eye makeup. GAWWWD
He's not racist, he just doesn't like other ethnic groups that aren't black........ Oooh wait, that's what racism is isn't it? The more you know!
So, if i just use rovolting or disgusting istead of ugly im fine right?
Bro it’s so funny how Ben just immediately assumed that Andrew was part of the left because he didn’t agree with him 😂.
“I don’t accept the dictionary definition of racism. It doesn’t go deep enough.” “Ok, well I don’t accept your definition of racism. It doesn’t go deep enough.” Surprised Pikachu face.
