To give the guy a break, I think what the student was looking for here is something like the incarceration rate, which disfavours black people particularly. i.e. 1 in 106 white men are incarcerated, while it's 1 in 15 of black men. Another example: The median net worth of black families is less than 15% of white families. When people say 'systemic' I believe this is what they are talking about. A system which consistenly (dis)favours certain certain racial groups. Now, imo it would be better to move past sayings like 'america is racist' and simply work on ways to make life better for everyone, regardless of race, i.e. focusing on wealth disparity broadly speaking.

The left doesn’t want anyone to have thoughts of blacks having a bad reputation even though they often do. Not always, but often or sometimes. The truth is most people disregard their bad reputation treating blacks the same as they do anyone else. However … some times when “some people” interact with blacks the thoughts of it surfaces and people’s discernment (knowledge based discrimination) is exercised.

They've spent their whole lives being told that everything is awful because the last generation wasn't as enlightened as we are today. They're told that knowledge is wisdom, and validation is worth. Is it any wonder that every time they are confronted with the smallest bit of reality, they just shut down?

You are correct this does occur but as they say you can't be racist against white people. Seriously, everyone has the potential to be racist. My personal belief is America is not separated by race so much as it is by being poor or rich. I know many rich black people that if they were to be pulled over by the cops they wouldn't get in trouble but yet a poor white person would. You could claim that sports are racist as many blacks make better athletes due to their natural physical makeup. There have been studies regarding blacks and their muscle fibers vs. whites. We are all human and all have advantages and disadvantages to others due to our genes given to us by God. I served in the military and traveled the world. I can assure you racism exists around the world. You will never stamp it out. The one thing we can do as humans is to start learning to love one another and start looking at the character of the person before you look at the skin/outward appearance. This is very hard to do and overcome because your visual is always your first impression of someone.

The male student wanted Peter to change the claim from “America” to “Americans” as if that would clarify his vague assertions. If anything, it would have made it worse. “America” is more broad-based, which is better for his word salad definitions of “systemic”. “Americans” is more specific, and he’d have to explain how all races that exist under the “Americans” umbrella, including black, hispanic, asian, etc. are all racist under his assertion. He’d likely have to insist that Peter change the board again from “Americans” to “White Americans” in order to move the goalposts closer to what he really believes.

Her and her black friend went into a store and the employees followed her black friend ans asked her if she was shoplifting and when she asked why, they told her because she is black. That NEVER happened! You know why I know. Because she already said they went SEPARATE ways in the store, so she didn't see anything. And like someone else pointed out, no one asks someone if they are shoplifting. They wait until they do, and then they detain the person. This is just total made-up nonsense.

I wouldn’t disagree with this statement, but there’s many ideological cages we reside in. For instance, if I told you that no, American is no longer racist (using the Trotskyist term) and this is directly why America is no longer a viable society. America has greatly declined since there were deliberate laws set in place by the founding fathers and the 13 colonies to prevent where America is today. You would probably label me and any other person who shares this outlook using the Trotskyist term, Racist. Who’s really indoctrinated? Those parroting ideologies supported by the current state, corporations, big media, Hollywood, etc or those parroting ideas that the country was originally founded on, and the very idea of Democracy (as described and defined by Aristotle, philia) was centered around?

Yes, I strongly agree that the U.S. (in the modern time) is a racist country. Examples of Systemic Racism: 1: Affirmative Action, which forces companies/organizations to hire employees (qualified or not) based on the race of the applicants. 2: Ivy League Universities' policy in accepting the applicants based on race. Ex: Asian students must score 140 points higher than white students, 320 points higher than Hispanic students, and 450 points higher than black students on the SAT to even be considered in getting accepted into those top schools. Then, everyone has either positive/negative stereotypes about others (generally, stereotype is based on some truths, but not necessary the whole truth). White - Privileged, wealthy, racists, mass shooters, serial killers etc. Black - Poor, uneducated, criminals, no father in the home, big d*ck, good in sports, cannot be racist etc. Hispanic/Latinos - Illegal immigrants, members of drug cartels, hard workers, menial job workers etc. Asians - Smart, educated, suck at sports & driving, cheapskate, small d*ck etc. Native Americans - Poor, illiterate, alcoholics etc. So, based on my assumptions, U.S. is a racist country. However, having lived in 5 different countries (for more than a year) and been to over 50 different countries around the world, I also believe that every single country is racist/prejudice in one form or another.

A textbook example of emotional programming...they have had this lie repeated to them ad nauseam in school, in media, by their peers, possibly by their family, and by others similarly programmed or by those who stand to benefit from this claim (aka race hustlers.) The emotional certainty comes first and its presence excuses the need for facts in most peoples' minds. I was completely programmed to find Fox News emotionally repugnant; to a lesser extent, I was also molded to find the Republican Party repugnant, and basically anything and everything Right Wing. I didn't really overcome this until I moved abroad and was in my early to mid 30s; the election of 2016 and the 2 years leading up to it were watershed moments for me as I simply couldn't find any evidence of Pres. Trump being anything like the ultra-racist he was claimed to be; his dramatic shift in public stature as well was baffling, going from somebody that black American culture routinely mentioned in music, looked up to, gave awards to...to worst than Hitler? The pattern of calling EVERY Republican candidate worse than Hitler was laid bare. All the nonsense started unravelling very quickly after that. But these sheltered children with their closed, know-it-all mindsets and their smug moral complacency...I wonder if they will ever have moments of clarity to recognize the depths of their own biases and the staggering extent to which they have been emotionally manipulated. I wonder if anything will ever make them understand the fact that they are essentially ideological robots, or puppets, maybe, for the Left.

Verbal fight over cat calling? Was it because she chased that poor man down the street and tried to consume him? Probably fell in love on the spot but also.....definitely nobody cat called her. Maybe it was her nice token Hispanic friend. She relates everything based on her friends race, is her friend group deliberately like a benetton ad?

Well, they've have been told their entire lives that, for instance, black Americans are victims, and that it's racist to point out certain facts about who commits crimes in what proportions, and the flow of interracial crime (ie, black to white, white to black, etc.)...hell, that it's racist to even know these facts and silently acknowledge that there is something wrong with black American culture, that's it's a new, post-60s thing, and of course, they cannot believe it could possibly be the policies of more Left-leaning elected officials that have led to this cultural rot and the attendant crime and poverty.

I love that every time Peter asks him "What systemic systems are racist?" He says "hmmm" as if to say I'm fumbling for an explanation that doesn't exist. I love it when you challenge these kids on their ideas on what they think systemic racism is because they cannot point out any law that's specifically systemic against any Americans or people of color at all which completely implodes their argument.

These sessions are just brilliant Peter! A master class in interview technique. I can’t get enough of them. I commend both of these young people too for their sincerity & obvious preparedness to consider what was being asked of them. It was almost possible to hear the young man’s brain fizz as he paced back and forth. And a light bulb right at the end when you posed the more important question about why the number of interactions is a critical thing to explore. It would be great to follow up with participants in a ‘what happened next’ type of series, once you’re done with this tour (& have the energy/inclination). Thank you though for doing this work.

I do find it fascinating to look back at a younger generation and see how easily they are manipulated into believing certain things. I would guess that many of the older adults here can look back in time and see themselves in these kids. They have a very weak understanding of many things but do want to see themselves as being "good" people. That is not a bad thing. What is different in the past decade or so, is the absolute polarization of opinion and the unwillingness to consider other ideas and perspectives. This resistance or willingness to be open-minded is what makes the current younger generations comparably weaker and disadvantaged intellectually. We all need time to learn so don't be too hard on anyone. Peter is showing great restraint and patience and that's a great model of behaviour.
