I really wish this were clickbait.
Hey! My name is Gray, and welcome to my channel.
So yesterday I really did talk to a white supremacist. His name is Henry, and
he was from a group called Identity Evropa. I was not aware of this when I
started talking to him, but regardless, I want to dedicate this video to Henry and
his fraternity gone bad. Today I'm going to prove once and for all that white
privilege actually does exist, and that people of color are still not being
treated equally in the United States. So let's start with this: What is privilege?
Privilege is defined as a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or
available only to a particular person or group of people.
Therefore, white privilege means an advantage, or rather seven social
advantages, that white people have over people of color, solely because they are
white. This isn't to say that white people can't struggle. This isn't to say that
white people can't be poor or face difficulty in their life. It's just to
say that they have certain advantages because they're white. So let me get into
the statistics and facts of white privilege because unlike Henry and his
buddies, I can actually provide facts to back up my opinion. Let's start with
police because that's often the most publicized instance of racial
disparities. In all of this, we need to remember that Black people make up 13%
of the US population, and even though they make up 13% of the US population,
they actually make up 31% of fatal police shootings. And you might be saying,
"Well, obviously it's because they resisted arrest. They were doing
something wrong. They were armed. Blah, blah, blah..."
No, you're wrong because while they're only 13% of the population, when we look
at instances where the person was not armed and was not resisting arrest
whatsoever, 39% of those people who were still killed in that case were Black,
and because we're already kind of on this topic ,let's stick with it and go to
prison and the judicial system. 1 in every 15 Black men is in prison
right now. While only 1 in a 106 white men is in prison right now.
See how this isn't quite adding up? And I just explained it's not because they're
doing anything wrong or different than white people. It's just because they're
looked at more, they're scrutinized more by the people enforcing these laws. A
study conducted in Georgia shows that 20% of Black people convicted of killing
white people face the death penalty, while only 8% of white people killing
white people face the death penalty. This is the same crime and the victims are
the same. The only difference in these cases is the race of the perpetrator.
This is white privilege. Now let's look at employers. Did you know that a Black
college student who has graduated and has a degree has the same chance of
securing a job as a white high school dropout? Even worse: A white man with a
criminal record has a 5% better chance of getting a job than a
Black person with no record. And a final fact in this category is that Black
people have to complete two extra levels of education to have even a shot at the
same job as a white male. That means a white male has a high school degree, a high
school diploma, and a Black person needs to go to levels up to somehow be equal.
Does that make sense? White people have privilege. This means
that white people have privilege over people of color when applying for jobs
because they don't have to have the same credentials in order to get that job.
Meaning: They are reaping benefits that they do not earn. Moving on to wealth
gaps. The wage gap between Black people and white people right now in the US
is greater than the wage gap in South Africa during apartheid. The average
income of a white family is $110,500
annually, and the income average of a black family is just
$6,314. That means that white families
are making almost eighteen times as much as the average Black family, and why is
that? It's not because they work harder because we just found out with the
employment segment that they actually don't work as hard. Black men get paid
72 cents for every dollar a white man makes. Black women make
64 cents for every dollar a white man makes. Latina women make 53
cents for every dollar a white man makes. That means even with all the
struggles that people of color already face, they're getting paid less for the
same job. That's yet another example of white privilege. Now we're going to move
on to education. My global teacher once said, "Education is your ticket in life."
White people are 78% more likely to get accepted to a college than a
Black person who is equally as qualified. I know some of you are ready to
play your affirmative action card, or in the UK, I think it's called positive
discrimination. You're ready to play it saying, "Actually, people of color have
the advantage because colleges have to let them in." You're wrong. Affirmative
action was created to bridge that gap, to bridge that original discrimination, that
discrimination that led to white kids getting in more often. I'm not saying
that affirmative action is 100% fantastic, great all the time. I think
there are pros and cons, as with most things, but I can guarantee you that if
you're a white guy trying to get into college, affirmative action isn't going
to stop you from doing that. And staying on the topic of education, 71% of white
students earn their degree once they're into college and only 29% of Black
students do. Now I can already hear you saying, "Oh, it's because I work harder.
It's because Black people are lazy, or people of color don't work for what
they have." No, no, and I can guarantee you with all of these odds already stacked
against them, students of color are going to work harder. They're going to feel the
need to work harder because they do have to work harder to earn the same respect,
the same degree, to have equality with their white peers, people of color have
to work harder. That's white privilege. Not to mention, elementary, middle schools,
high schools with predominantly Black student bodies, or predominantly
non-white student bodies, get less funding. Not because of their student
body, but because they tend to be in poorer areas, and why is that? Well,
because people get paid less when they're a person of color. People have
more trouble finding jobs when they're person of color, so they end up in poor
neighborhoods. Do you see how all of these things feed into one another? The
employment disparities lead to wage gaps. The wage gaps lead to wealth gaps. Wealth
gaps lead to education gaps. Education differences lead to more incarceration
of people of color. More incarceration leads to more prosecution, and that leads
back to employment gaps, employment disparities. This is what systemic racism
is. Granted., I've simplify this a ton, okay? There are other areas that feed into
this cycle. Housing, voting, the list really could go on forever, but obviously
I don't want to make a lifelong video about this. So yes,
white privilege does exist in nearly every aspect of our society. The facts
show it. You can't just deny it's there. You can, but you can't back up your claim
with fact. You can't back up your claim with anything but personal opinion and
personal narratives. But yes, white privilege does exist because in those
statistics I just showed you, white people
in every single instance have advantages and immunities and benefits over people
of color that they do not earn. They have those benefits in the society because
they are white, not because of what they do or how they act. So why am I wearing
this shirt? Why am I wearing this Black Lives Matter shirt if I'm white?
Well, first of all, I kind of want to piss off any racist person watching this
because I can, and you know what? Let me address the All Lives Matter
movement here really quick. Let's not talk about the two movements. Let's let's
not talk about black lives matter versus all lives matter.
Let's just talk human-to-human here. I assume that you are in the all lives
matter camp because you believe that all lives matter equally. That is what I
believe as well. However, the all lives matter group
really doesn't do a whole lot. It's not even really a group. It's just something
people say when they don't want to hear black lives matter.
So if you really believe that all lives matter, and that all lives matter equally,
maybe consider supporting black lives matter because the point of that
movement isn't to say that black lives matter, only, or that black lives
matter more than white lives. The point of it is to say that black lives matter,
but in our society right now, black lives are being treated as if they
matter. But by saying black lives matter, you're really saying black lives need to
matter, and that black lives should matter as much as white lives. Wearing
this shirt, saying that I'm pro-Black does not mean that I'm anti-white. That's like
saying because I like dogs, I hate cats. No. That's not how it works, okay? I like
both cats and dogs equally, but if someone is bashing a dog and treating them
like shit, I'm going to speak up and say that I love dogs. So, I hope you enjoyed
this video. I hope you learned a thing or two. All of my sources are going to be in
the description, so have no fear. You'll be able to look at them. You'll be able
to verify them, and because I'm white, and I have no first-hand experience, and I
also have privilege, I'm going to put links down below to other videos with
people of color who are sharing their experiences,
and their views on this topic as well because to be quite honest, those are
going to be so much more valuable and so much more meaningful than me sitting
here and spitting out statistics for you. So please, please, please go check them
out. My name is Gray. Have a wonderful day!
