Haha!!!! He’s so FULL OF IT!!! It’s all about black folk, NOT about people of color.... ultimately black is right and everything else is not, not Hispanic, not white, not Asian. He paints it in a nice veneer of “tolerance” but essentially he’s saying that their position is correct and sure “ don’t hate them if they’re wrong”.... but they’re wrong. He’s essentially saying their way is the only way..... god they continue to be the ideology of intolerance..... 🤦🏽♂️ It’s simple, MLK knew it 60 years ago, judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin..... It’s not rocket science people. Oh, and we have to realize, as a collective community, both locally, statewide, nationally, AND even globally, those that most talk about race are the racist themselves....

Hi Emmanuel, love this video. My 2 cents, for whatever they're worth as a white person... There's a phrase that's usually applied to disability and/or mental illness that I recently feel we need to apply to racism as well. "It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility." It's not my fault systemic racism and the inherent bias that Obama was talking about exist and are part of the world I grew up in. But it is my responsibility to be receptive to being corrected when I fall into those traps and to do better going forward. I think a big part of ending racism would be to get all of us (white people) to understand that when someone calls us on our ignorance they aren't always saying it's our fault. (As Obama mentioned.... sometimes there is that assumption, and I agree that we need to watch out for that as well.) The fact is you can't change people's minds with anger and shame. Only love can create love. Only compassion can create compassion. If we can get past this attack mode somehow (both people attacking before teaching AND people assuming those trying to teach are attacking) we will get much farther in ending racism.

I agree a 99% "...the statement about being open by giving people the benefit of the doubt..." yes, I do believe that being open by hearing ones thoughts, opinions, and or what thoughts are based on with some facts. Thus is truly a part in understanding to get along with each other people with diversity. However, it is dangerous for people to give other people 'the benefit of the doubt'. Giving people the benefit of the doubt usually is a sign of warning for people to realize it is not to their interest or benefit. Referring to what was written in the book, The Life code by Dr. Phil. Maybe(?) give a person 'A Reasonable Doubt' while we are being open to understand them vice-versa them understanding us too. This applies to all subjects of diversity not just racism.

Dear Emmanuel, you are not only being racist against white people but you are also giving irresponsible fathers an excuse for not taking care of their kids and family. No white people come knock on your door and tell you to hit the road and leave your kids. Grow up and take responsibility. Second: Braids have nothing to do with black culture- they originated in Egypt.

Remember when question before being elected as President. A question was asked if you lose the election would it be because of race he said NO. After leaving office he started on about how people are racist. But as he said before elected he would not lose because of race.

I saw this as a constructive, open discussion about common biases and an attempt to understand them through individuals actually living through it. I think that’s pretty cool. Honest conversations will always bring up issues people take offense to. But the point is to listen and understand, not to highlight the focus on the negative

It's very difficult to be part of the discussion of racism as a white person who is not a racist when some people are saying white people are racist and thus calling you a racist by default because of the color of your skin. Instead of using terms as "white folks" and saying they do this thing or that thing, call those individuals out by their name, not their entire race of billion(s) of people.

Now you can understand how us Black people feel, we go through this everyday.. Walking in a store being followed because of the color of your skin, why because they "Assume" you don't have any money and you're there to steal, not knowing anything about you But Because Of The Color Of Your Skin. No, It Doesn't Feel Good Being Lumped Into A Group By What's On The Outside, Instead Of Being Judge On The Character Of The Inside (Your Heart)

Opinion: It's important to not let fear or the presumption that there are white people out their to hurt you stop you from chasing dreams or treating others any differently/white ppl/or of other race, out of paranoid presumption that other white ppl white hurt you. I think that is important. Most white people support BLM, or support/friends/ black people than those who dont. There are more crimes of one race killing someone of the same race then, for example, white on black crime. Ppl can come after me, but it's important to know that. I don't deny there are white people, sometiems officers, who would hurt black people, and it can be dangerous. I think it's important to be careful with it tho, to make the world seem as though black people are being killed by white people in the masses every day when they arent. That can be mentally damaging. (I'm independent not liberal or conservative). Great discussion even if I don't agree with everything. Stay strong.

Barack Obama did more to damage race relations than anyone I can think of in the last 50 yrs. Spare me the "cure racism" crap. If Obama cared about black Americans, he would've helped Chicago's killing fields of young black men. If he cared, he wouldn't back the woke nonsense of "White Fragility" and other such garbage. He's perfectly fine with teaching little white kids they were "born racist." And he's fine with teaching black children they were "born Victims."

It so funny let's cure racism by talking about it, set up a panel on it, study it, write some more books on it, etc. - that's all. Then election time after we have done nothing to make sure it's not in place; let's hang it around the necks of our opponents. What? You are going to mess with someone's pocketbook or their calling card or their baseless mike drop moment - You are racists!

please hear me out? i think Barack Obama has the outline of the silver bullet to end racism. he mentions how people have an almost hardwired tribal, other kind of person reaction & how many generations since cavewomen have people made effort to be from "civilized" to actually be not racist? i don't think we started yet. i came across non violent communication education that asks how would you feel if you were hit from behind while walking? confused? scared? angry? then you turn and see an old man holding his left arm in pain struggling(heart attack). do you feel angry? do you feel scared? were the RULES? of your feelings at 1st wrong? Are feelings rules or are they hardwiring we can learn to hear? We need emotional education for ourselves LET ALONE our children. if we can stop being ruled by our fears or feelings and instead use them like alcohol: they can enhance life & celebration and bring up and inform about when we aren't looking at or angry with something inside. Once you can start to understand yourself and live with yourself you can stop blaming others for things you can't solve alone. Once you stop needing yourself to be more or to accept something is only perfect when you let it be what it is without asking it to be different. Racism can only die when all individuals have the common knowledge of self respect, self love, and willingness to allow others to be who they are

We are a nation if immigrates. Racism has been around since the time populations became big enough to interact. Why white peoples feel superior to others with different skin is the real question. I know that every race in the world has made great contributions for the furtherance of the human race. I really feel most of the racism stems from the English and German influence. England conquered and subjugated many countries. They were heavy handed on how inferior they felt the native people of each country were. It did not matter that these countries had great civilizations, the English were superior because they felt they were more civilized and educated than the natives. And you wonder why there is racism. It is learned behavior from centuries of the subjugation of the native populations of countries over taken by the greed and selfishness of their conquerors. To fight this is going to take educating our young children about the different people in the world and why we are equal. Everyone has a chance at education, let’s use this path to put the nails in the coffin on racism. If we look only at differences and not similarities, we will never overcome racism. Like the saying goes, “Color is only skin deep, ignorance is clear to the bone”.

I don’t wanna hear Obama talk about how to cure racism. That man has wreaked havoc in the Middle East and so many countries. He has blood on his hands. I hate how people glorify him so much. I don’t think people should be enamored by him just because he is Black. People of all races can be evil, and he has demonstrated this very well. I would never put someone on a pedestal if they were of the same race as me but committed heinous human rights abuses. He is no better than any of our other corrupt presidents. Wake up, people.

How to cure racism? Making sure children understand their histories, and that we all are family- one family- the human family. We are all part of the human race, and like chocolate candies we come in all colors and flavors. In all of history, people, all people have attached to their "group" which is fine, but appreciate other groups as we all bring something different/ a different flavor to the foods on the table. Thank you Emmanuel.

Learn to love so as not to fear and hate. Be open not defensive. There is simplicity in truths. It seems like interracial people, and peoples in interracial relationships/family structures can share a special sentiment regarding racism. The conversation always feels different in tone speaking to peoples who have seen through the veil of fear and hate. It is fundamentally hard to hate or fear difference when you and/or your spouse, child, in-laws, nephews/nieces -your family- are of different races. If there was a silver bullet it would be love. Hate will never make US great.

2:25 I don't agree with Emmanuel on this ("You have to acknowledge that you'll see a black man and for whatever reason, you will view them more of a threat than you will a white man") . This is not about race, but about how people hold themselves, what they wear, and of course body language. Even as a guy myself, when I see someone wearing a hoodie, or an aggressive face, I tend to keep on the other side of the street. Whereas, a person wearing a suit, walking upright, open body language - that doesn't pose a threat.

Obama doesn't know wtf he is talking about honest to god. If he truly wanted to help black people he would've invested and pushed to imrpove education in black communities more and to undo the wrong doings that blacks have faced since the creation of this country. Instead he focused most of his time and energy into helping the LGBTQ community, which there's nothing wrong with that at all but he does not know how to fix racism, hell in the video he can barely define what it is he confused racism with prejudice.

I don't care what Obama has to say. He had 8 years to make a difference and he did very little. Start with America needs to pay what it owns to ADOS. And stop including POC discrimination with the brutal oppression and exclusion of wealth building of ADOS. The contribution of ADOS to this get land is far greater than most while ADOS benefits from our republic the least. Obama why didn't you stop black history month and mandate all schools just teach the truth 12 months out of the years. It not that had. Ex. why not tell our children that civil war was being lost until the black troops were allowed to fight. Black troops saved the UNION but this country betrayed them and gave land, control and black bodies to traitors. How about start with that. Acho go teach Nigerian history you and Obama have no right to speak for ADOS.
