That was good, very clear and to the point.

A study was done recently where three-year-olds from all different races were asked which skin colour was best and worst. You can guess what they said. All gave the same answer. So by the age of three, kids can tell that society judges them on their colour. Anyone who thinks we're finished with the whole equal rights thing and that continuing efforts are just political correctness needs to appreciate that we have further to go. Not about guilt, just about helping future children see themselves as equal.

This is HILARIOUS! I'd really love to see that in a women's version: "reverse sexism"

[AliseIam]

Saw this on Water Cooler simply BRILLIANT!!!

I'm White,  I love this. If colonized cultures can survive centuries of oppression, we can survive whatever jokes get thrown at us.

Glad that most of these comments are positive and the crazies are nice and obvious.

[PurePressure]

It would be funnier if it wasn't so accurate and sad.
Just think of how many generations of Brown People (we're ALL brown-skinned, including so-called "black" people), the ones who survived the slaughter, who were successfully brainwashed into believing they were somehow defective because their features didn't resemble that of their colonizers, and took that belief to their graves.

Just think of how advanced some of the countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas could've possibly been today, if Europeans hadn't colonized them and/or destroyed their cultures and ways of life -- especially when you recall that at least one of the countries on each of those continents were much more advanced than any European country at some point in their history.  So they were clearly capable of advancing on their own, completely independent of European input.

Also, it's no coincidence that all the non-European people who were colonized across the planet were Brown people -- Africans, Amerindians, Australian Aborigines, and the brown-skinned Asians.  That was an undeclared race war, long before the phrase 'race war' existed.

absolute genius! there is no way to deny the tragic truth of his words, that manage to cut right into the heart of such a complex matter in a few minutes

THIS IS THE MOST SUCCINCT history lesson, EVER!!! Thank you for this! I will share widely!

[cassiemichelle]

I need to show this to every white person I ever encounter

[lindaseaborn]

Every time I share this with someone else I watch it again. I've watched it about twenty times now and I'm nowhere near getting sick of it. I'm so impressed with how this guy explains "it".

[jamilmukhtar]

Shit got too real for some of the people there, they tried holding back their laughs but it's too funny they couldn't

[g]

This is literally the most perfect thing I've ever seen

[Cherri]

Wow! That was hitting the nail on the head. Thanks for posting.

saying reverse racism exists is like saying rich people can experience poverty.

[Szaam]

Us white people know we can't dance. That's why we invented heavy metal and punk so we wouldn't have to.

[PoeCommunicateATL]

LOVE this. Posting it all over my FB page (5, 000 max friends).
I once wrote a screenplay called "Black World" which dealt with this same theme. Thanks, Aamer!!

[TravelmakerKai]

You know someone is talented when they can educate others with their gift! Thanks Aamer!

rac·ism  [rey-siz-uhm] 
noun
1.
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.


you don't have to go back in time to be racist towards a white person, i've seen it happen to all races and no one race is excluded from racism.

[TrazMills]

I don't think I've ever heard a better explanation...Masterful!

[Gestureyex]

This is just brilliant! :) Hilarious as well! :)
