Is This the Most Racist Video on YouTube?

The following words are some of the things said in a video which was posted on YouTube on the 15th of November, 2020. The video is called ‘So what exactly are white people superior at?’. The words are all spoken by black people and they’re all aimed at white people:

White people are “ignorant” and “dicks”. They “lack empathy”, suffer from “self-delusion” and indulge in “manipulation”. White people are “superior at” such things as “lying”, “pretending”, “blame”, “feeling victimised”, “cheating”, “withholding information”, “violence”, “being killers”, “stealing ideas”, “the destruction of humanness”, “insecurity”, “fear”, “letting their egos control their every move”, “congratulating themselves over shit that they’re incompetent at”, “lack of empathy”, “self-delusion”, “lying, stealing, and cheating”, “genocide”, “taking our ideas”… Indeed “white people are not superior with anything”… ad infinitum.

Now, perversely and surreally, this video will be deemed by many black people and activists on the “radical Left” as an righteous attempt at “fighting racism”. Yes, that’s right: ugly and extreme racism against white people is seen as being a help in the fight against racism toward black people.

Let that sink in for a moment.

This video displays some of the most blatant and extreme racism I’ve ever witnessed on YouTube — or anywhere else for that matter! It really is monumentally explicit and - what’s more - obvious. It’s also (at least at times)very ugly and crude. It’s even worse — or at least equal to — the racist views put forward by the German National Socialists (i.e., Nazis) of the 1920s and 1930s. Indeed much of what’s said in this video is simply pathetic. It’s also beholden to some incredibly crude stereotypes about white people.

Yet never once does any black person in the video qualify what he or she says about white people. No one says: “Of course this isn’t true of all white people.” Or: “Some white people aren’t like that.” Instead, the video make it seem that there are zero exceptions here to the genetic sin of “whiteness”. Every single white person is culpable. Indeed even white anti-racists are culpable — after all, they’re still… white!

Now it almost seems too obvious to state, but I’ll state it nonetheless…

If white people said exactly the same things about black people (or any other ethnic group) in an equivalent video on YouTube, then leftwingers and liberals would call it a “knuckle-dragging video””, “bigoted”, “racist”, “toxic”, “fascist”, etc. What’s more, they’d call for the video to be “immediately taken down”.

Of course I’m simply displaying “white fragility” by saying all this. And denying my white fragility is, of course, an example of white fragility. Is admitting my white fragility also an example of white fragility?… I don’t know. I’ll need to read the latest academic paper on this subject.

The point is that you really can’t win when it comes to pious and puritanical anti-racists. New kinds of racism are defined almost every day. The meaning of the term “racism” gets wider and wider and wider. And now denying that there is racism is racism. Denying one’s own racism is racism. Not being racist is “racist” — you must be anti-racist instead! Once noting people’s race was racist — now ignoring people’s race is racist…

As you can see, academics have been very busy!

So why has YouTube allowed this video when so many others are deleted and so many people lose their accounts? Why did people produce it? And why has it been spread around social media too?…

Of course it’s entirely possible that the producers of this racist video may come to realise that they’ve dug their own grave. They may then delete it. And considering the backlash against it, both in the YouTube thread of comments underneath it and on the Internet generally, this is indeed possible. So even though we have a deluge of white fragility, CUT may still decide to delete it.

The most relevant and important answer to the question as to why YouTube itself hasn’t deleted it is simple: academic theory.

Academic Marxist theory has it that black people can never be racist against white people. Thus (by definition!) literally nothing said in this video can be racist — no matter how extreme and blatant it is!

I say Marxist theory because these views on race and racism are essentially a result of Marxist theory and its new derivatives — such as Critical Race Theory, Critical Whiteness Studies, etc. What happens is that the views of the academics who propagate this stuff eventually spill down onto “the streets” (or, in this case, onto YouTube). Such views also infect large parts of the media, “anti-racism training programmes”, corporations, the BBC, local councils, the police, the legal system, the Premier League, charities, the arts, etc. In other words, far too many people tend to take everything these well-off academics say as political gospel. (It must be all those stats, graphs ‘n’ footnotes.) Yes; weak-minded people are too-easily impressed by the (metaphorical) white coats these academics wear . This essentially means that these academics intellectually intimidate non-academics with their soul-crushing jargon and relentless political activism.

To get back to the YouTube video

Because ‘So what exactly are white people superior at? includes black people aiming their very negative views at white people, many white people on the Left — even on the Liberal Left — simply won’t see it as being racist at all.

Why is that?

Again, largely because of Marxist theory. That is, according to an academic theory (which has now become little more than a mindless cliche or radical-teen meme), it’s the case that

And that’s because ostensibly “oppressed groups” can never — by definition! — be racist against “oppressors”.

I can easily be argued that even if every “white institution” in the US and UK is indeed “systemically racist” in a huge way, and even if every white person is genetically destined to be racist, then that still wouldn’t make it be the case that “black people can never be racist”. It is Marxist theory that attempts to make it the case that racism must be tied to power. This is not an fact or a truth about the world. In other words, there’s no necessary connection between power and racism.

So all this means that if a black gang violently attacks a white man on the street solely because he is white, then that, my friend, is racist. Full stop! And no amount of arcane academic theory will change that. As stated, the theory that “racism is [necessarily] tied to power” (or that “black people can’t be racist”) is neither a truth nor a fact. It’s not even really meant to be truthful or factual. Instead, it’s a blunt political weapon specifically designed to advance political and ideological causes. Indeed many academic theorists have happily admitted this.

And all this goes back to Karl Marx’s well-known slogan:

Now if readers want to seek out for themselves the mountains of Marxist theory that’s been written on the subjects of race, racism and capitalism, then please go ahead. (Political theory which has sustained many careers for decades and which has made such academics very well-off and politically powerful.)

So good luck with all that!
