Hi glad you're here. You're just in time.
We were just about to take a look at my current least favorite channel on YouTube, cut.
But before I do that, actually I did want to just briefly remark that my channel is doing so well.
Thank you. Last video I uploaded I was like, "Hey, I'm just going to kind of be posting slightly
longer videos. Not really going so hard on trying to make them super." And then you'll just
give it 600,000 views. So let me just keep doing that. Besides, the more laid back format
gives me more freedom anyway, to just go off on things that are bothering me, like today's topic.
So here I have the channel pulled up right here. As you can see from a glance, it just mostly seems
to be like low brow garbage, I guess? Maybe that's really harsh, actually. Maybe that's really harsh.
But then again, this video right here is called Parents Guess What Naughty Items Their Kids Own.
So. And then it turns out they just have racist videos on here as well. This video is called,
So What exactly Are White People Superior At? Before we get into the absolute
dumpster fire that is today's content, let's look at something that brings a bit more
clarity. Today's sponsor, Morning Brew. Morning Brew is a free daily newsletter that shows up
in your inbox. Morning Brew and I actually have a lot in common. We both show up Monday through
Saturday. We both keep you up to date on various news stories in a short timeframe. And we're both
pretty darn witty while doing it. Well, I mean, Morning Brew is. I try. Honestly. I wake up and
check my phone anyway, so Morning Brew makes it nice to have something to actually digest
other than just refreshing my explore tab 50 times before I fully wake up. And as someone who's
literally always looking for things to talk about, Morning Brew is quickly becoming the perfect way

a must if you're interested in internet stuff, business news, tech, anything like that.

All right, let's watch this garbage, bruh. So here we have this caption. We asked 100 black
folks, with an X, in America to tell us what white people are superior at This could only go wrong.
What are white people superior at? Man. Huh.
Okay. I do like the fact that they include the fact that most people in
this video are hesitant to answer this question. I'm going to go ahead and explain why. Because
this question sucks. This is a garbage question. This is the kind of thing that you can only ask
if you're trying to get somebody to say something that's really, really messed up. Really what they
should have named this is we flew 100 black people out to our studio to set them up.
What are white people superior at? They just keep talking. Mostly about their pets.
White people love they dogs? That's all you. Cats. Letting them get on your
countertops while you're cooking. I didn't expect to agree with anything
that's in this video. Your doggos, your cats, calling them your sons and
your daughters. That's lit. Honestly, do you. Someone's got to look out for
them. Just don't expect me to have the same opinions towards your demonic animals.
So what exactly are white people superior at? I'm sorry. Everyone who's
laughing is literally me. If you had asked me this question, I would
laugh in your face. Like, "Nothing? Not a thing. Burning in the sun?" I don't know.
Using mayonnaise in a lot of their recipes. Making bland food.
Unseasoned chicken. All right. Currently they haven't missed. People
hand me chicken and it's just like the color white, not even racially. It's just white chicken
with nothing on it. I'm never going to understand that one. It's like that one joke, why did Britain
spend so long conquering countries and stealing off their spices just to turn around and use
none of them in their food? I don't know, bro. You going to start whole spice wars and
don't even use seasoning on your food. Okay.
What exactly are white people superior at?
Smelling funky. Okay. What? What does that mean? This is the
first answer in here that I don't understand why that's included at all. That is a trait not
associated with any race to my understanding, and if it is, that's racist, by the way.
White people are great at having fun. That's a function of white supremacy because they
just don't have as many stresses as we do. I feel like most people probably expected me to be
like, "Oh, that's a ridiculous statement. Fun is a function of white supremacy?" I kind of understand
what he's saying here. I feel like it's very clear, very cut and dry. However, taking this out
of context into one sentence and like a catchy, punchy, little cut video with quirky music in
the background is ridiculous. There's obviously nothing wrong with having fun, but there is a
certain merit to pointing out certain people can have fun in ways that I might get in trouble for.
You know what I mean? I don't really feel safe enough to run out in the street and do everything
that occurs to me that seems like it might be fun. And that might sound a little strange but when
you look at news stories of what happens to people like me, who literally mind their own business,
like actually mind their own business, and then still wind up dead? Yeah. There's definitely merit
in saying you can be a bit freer in this country if you happen to be white. But again, putting that
in this cut video just makes it sound like such a farcical argument. If I really did start trying
to have a conversation about, "Hey, let's talk about how I feel so unsafe in the street I don't
want to take like my little siblings to the park." People are just going to immediately associate
it with this cut video and be like, "Well, it was ridiculous there. So it's
ridiculous here too." And it's like, that is why videos like this are problematic.
People are very superior at their privilege and utilizing it. We do not have the privilege
to do whatever and however we want to. So I did see some people reacting to this and
saying like, "Oh yeah? Well, white people don't have the privilege to do whatever they want to
either. We can't just run out in the street not wearing clothes or whatever." And it's like,
"Let's not misinterpret what's going on here." When the people in this video are talking about
not having the freedom to do certain things, they're not talking about breaking the law or
doing things that you shouldn't be able to get away with. It's just freedom to feel safe,
freedom to be comfortable in your own skin, freedom to stay alive, basically.
What exactly are white people are superior at? Not getting arrested.
Oof. Yes. You are a lot more likely to get away with, in my opinion,
egregious crimes, because the justice system is severely unfair towards people of color. That
being said again, having this discussion in a less than five minute video with quirky music playing
in the background, just completely demolishes the value of it. And I find it disrespectful.
Driving down the street, down the highway with a friend of mine who was white, when he was like,
"I'm going to just want to pull over and pee." And I'm in the passenger seat. And I was like, "Please
don't." Because a black man thinks differently. "If I pull over to the side of the road and pee, a
cop is going to be right behind me to punish me." My parents, and I feel like maybe
I've talked about this before, but there's this one specific area in my state where
my parents literally always get pulled over. I'm not talking about like, oh, every now and then
they might get. No, no, no, no. They had a 100% success rate getting pulled over in this
specific county that I'm not going to name because I don't want the smoke. Yeah, I
definitely understand what he's saying here. What exactly are white people superior at?
Insecurity, pretending. Fear.
Look, I was good for the first two minutes. Not seasoning your food, I'm fine with calling
you out for that. Please, salt does not count. White privilege? Bet. Let's call that out too.
Not getting arrested for crimes, it happens. It's not even my opinion. You can just Google that,
but claiming that white people are superior at fear, what does that mean?
Being a fearful of nothing. Being ignorant. Blame.
Letting their egos control their every move. Privilege.
All right. Oh, my gosh. This is so cringy. This is so cringy. We're now
taking legitimate problems and mixing them in with things that are not problems, therefore, making
the problem sound like a problem. For example, white privilege, I wouldn't even say white
privilege is a problem, by the way. I don't want white privileges taken away, I just want it
for everyone. That's a legitimate thing, right? But then, you follow that up with insecurity and
it's like, what? Literally, everyone is allowed to feel insecure. Being ignorant is definitely
not a trait exclusive to any specific race, but then you follow that up with being fearful of
nothing, which actually is a problem. I will say that, because being fearful of nothing, again,
plays back into unfairly criminalizing people, like me. That's not a nonsense thing. Mixing these
things up together in a quirky mashup is just... Oh, my gosh.
Privilege. Feeling victimized.
Playing the victim. Congratulating themselves over
shit that they're incompetent, or that should have already been done.
They're superior at being dicks. Oh, my gosh. You know what? It's fine. It's fine.
It's fine. It's just a YouTube video. It's just a YouTube video. No way people are going to look
at this video and use this as a way to judge all black people, right? That would be crazy. That's
foreshadowing to the next part of this video. ... Exactly are white people superior at?
Oppression. Gas lighting
Lack of empathy. Intellectualizing oppression.
Did I say oppression? Just creatively thinking of new ways of always
staying one step ahead of other people. If you get rid of slave catchers, then let's just expand
the police force. That stuff, to me, is wild. Okay. Wait, low key, that was very accurate.
You know what I'm starting to realize, is the problem with this video? It just dawned on
me. It just dawned to me why I keep sitting here and being like, "Yeah, wait, this sounds right.
Wait, no, that doesn't sound right. Wait. Yeah, it does sound right." This is asking what racists
are superior at. They started off with white people, which is fine, the whole not seasoning
your food and all of that, but now we have very severely and very sharply switched over
into describing racist white people, which would be fine in its own video. You know what I mean?
That would explain why so many of these things, I can completely understand, why they're listing
off as answers, but they do not apply to all people, at all. To imply that in and of itself
is a bit racist, not a bit, it's just racist. What exactly are white people superior at?
Making us believe that we don't matter. Believing that they're superior.
Feeling superior. Thinking they're superior.
See, this is literal criticisms of white supremacy. Very few things... I'm going to tell
you this, very few things that the people in this video are saying are inaccurate, but the context
that Cut has placed this in is just detrimental. Thinking that they're superior.
Thinking that they are superior. Self-delusion.
Controlling the narrative. Believing their own press.
Marketing of white superiority. Whether you are Republican, whether you're
democrat, whether you're conservative, white people are really good
at upholding white supremacy. White supremacists are good at upholding
white supremacy. You know what I mean? Your average white person, who
is like me and doesn't think anybody could possibly be more superior than
someone else, specifically because of their race, is not upholding white supremacy just
by existing. You know what I mean? Claiming that they are actually a
whole separate race, when actually, white DNA comes from the black female.
Look, there's a lot of debate about, where did we come from? And African ancestry and all this
stuff, and I'm not smart, so we're not having it. What exactly are white people superior at?
Honey, lying, stealing and cheating. Manipulation.
Withholding information. Lying.
Okay. What? We are now just describing liars. Do you notice how quickly this video tone changes?
I really want you all to pay attention to this. You're being manipulated right now. Granted, every
form of media is a bit manipulative, but each specific section of this video describes a certain
type of person. It's purposely being put together, in a way that is jumping from topic to topic. I
find it pretty insidious that in doing so, they're lessening the importance of the actual necessary
topics. Right now, they're just describing liars, cheaters and manipulators. This has nothing to do
with white people at all and it makes me wonder, did Cut ask them to start describing specific
kinds of people, because why are their answers matching up like this? This is weird.
Telling lies. What kind of lies?
The lies of history. They say-
Oh, okay. Wait. That one is true. Come on, bro. If you taking things in
history books at face value at this point... History is written by the victor, but the
victor could be replaced by the colonizer. What are white...
Woo. Again, this is true. I hate this video so much. I despise what they've done. I know
I'm making it a joke and it's lighthearted, but this is terrible, that we are taking a ton of
legitimate conversations I would love to have and just interspersing it with things
that, in this context, sounds super racist. ... People superior at?
Conquering. Imperialism.
Imperialism. Colonizing.
Colonize. Colonialism
Colonization. Colonization. They might be better
at that than us and everybody else. I mean, yeah. I'm good at everything, but
taking over other countries and forcing their cultures to assimilate into mine, it's
not something I've really tried. Again though, that's not something your average, currently
living white person would be good at either, so I'm not really sure what's going on here.
They ballsy, they rose up all over the world and they walk into everybody's house and says,
"Oh, this is nice. I'm going to take your shit, and they have no qualms about it."
They can take anything, baby. She didn't lie. Oh, my gosh. You know what
the thing is too? I love the people in this video a lot. I feel like I would be friends
with every single person in this video. I just hate that they've gotten set up like this.
... Are white people superior at? They're real good at violence. Violence.
Genocide. Stealing people's lives, just
because they feel like it. If you are white, and you know this is happening
and you say nothing, then you're a killer too. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Wow. This
just got so dark, so fast. Now, are you starting to see what I'm saying,
about the editing? This is purposely edited as a slope. It starts off here,
"Mayonnaise." Now, we're like, "If you're white and you don't actively
stop murderers, you're a murderer." Child... Now, that being said... That being said,
again, the implication that any one race could be violent, because of their race is racist. Make
no mistake. But again, I feel like these people are just describing racism, which is actually
valid. I just hate that it's in this video. You are adopting a whole philosophy that
says it's okay to do this. And part of that philosophy allows you to be ignorant.
Right? And they're like, "Oh, I didn't know." What exactly are white people superior at?
Taking what's not theirs. Taking shit.
Taking our ideas. Copycatting.
Gentrification. Appropriating things that do not belong to them.
Taking over other people's cultures. They have taken the thing that is a real
thing, cultural appropriation, gentrification, and just the theft of intellectual property from people of color who can't speak up about
it because they don't have the same platforms, and they have made it sound like all white people
steal things. Cut might be a better editing team than I thought, because... oh my gosh.
And making you believe that they invented it. Maybe they're thinking of it as re-purposing.
It's like recycle and repurpose. As my grandma would say, "The white folk,
they'll take it, if you don't copyright it." They-
Oh. Oh. Get your patents, get your education, and copyright your stuff.
Make your own money, bro. I love his grandma. But then again, I love everyone's grandma.
They are very good at destruction of land, destruction of people, destruction of humanness.
What exactly are white- His hair is so sick. All right. You know what? I'm
just going to stay alive for the next 20 years. I made the choice right here. I'm going
to stay alive for however long it takes for my locks to start looking like that.
... White people superior at? White people are not superior with anything. I knew it. I knew it from jump. I saw his
hair and I was like, "There's absolutely no way he's going to lie. There's no way he's
incapable of missing when he looks like that." It wasn't even just the hair, if we're being
honest. It's the entire drip. It's the entire drip. And he spits nothing but facts, bruh.
This is the main character of this video. Nothing.
Nothing. Nothing.
There's nothing. Nothing.
I don't believe that they're superior in any way, shape, or form.
Just because our skin color is different, you're no better than me. You're no
smarter than me. No. No superiority there. It's disingenuous. Okay. It's incredibly
disingenuous. I'm talking about Cut, not the people in the video because the people in the
video are just describing qualms that they have with racism and white supremacy. And that's not
something I'm going to be like, "Oh, yeah. Well, you've expressed that improperly." Cut, on the
other hand, knows exactly what's going on here. We asked 100 black folks in America to
tell us what white people are superior at, knowing full well that they were going to
edit together in a context that makes it sound like black people think that all white people
are racist. And also, the usage of folks really bothers me. Like is this Curtis Connor?
Okay, folks, I think it's safe to say- I think it's safe to say that Curtis
doesn't deserve this. Just so we're clear, I have nothing wrong with folks, this gender
neutral or gender inclusive spelling of that. That's valid. But the fact that Cut is using it
is what's bothering me, because it all just starts making it sound like black people are not people.
You know what I mean? It can't just be like, "We asked 100 black people in America to tell
us what white people are superior at." Right? If you look at the description, they're all
like, "We centered black voices in America for this round of Keep it 100's first ever nationwide
production." You centered black voices? Can you like de-center your own voice? Like, can you shut
up please? Just say we talked to black people. You don't have to use buzzwords to make it sound
like you should be applauded for listening to me. Do you understand where some of my frustration
is coming from with this? This is ludicrous. If you look in the recommended section of this
video, I find it to be pretty darn telling. Like Candace Owens. Why is Fox News in the recommended
section? I think it's safe to say, I don't really watch Fox News. Right? Tucker Carlson, Candace
Owens, again, only white people are racist from diesel patches, which is him reacting to another
video that does the same thing. It's like, if this recommended section is not telling you
something, I will make it a little bit clearer. These are the same people watching these videos.
It's not black people watching this content and being like, "Oh, yeah. Wow. I'm finally being
represented." No. It's people who think that black people think everyone is racist. And they're
also watching other people who espouse this same thing. That's the audience you're catering to,
Cut. I hope that's working out for you. I mean, it is working out for them. You can just tell from
the comment section to. Remember kids, it wasn't racist if a black person is the one being racist.
Then it's stunning and brave. You know what would be even more stunning and brave? Keeping your
stupid comments to yourself. No one thinks of black people are allowed to be racist just because
they're black. Just because this video was edited together to make it seem like that does not
make it true. And people using this video as fuel to confirm that stupid outlook so that they
can dismiss any and every criticism of when people actually are being racist is ridiculous.
I'm a black woman and seriously embarrassed by this. Okay. Yeah. Same. Why does this comment
have 43,000 likes, including mine, because I too am seriously embarrassed by this, but not a single
response. You know what? As a black woman, I am too. We weren't able to add your reply. Please
try again. So, why are they disabling comments on the video in which they're claiming
that they're "centering black voices." It's like you're all too happy to edit this
together and make everyone look bad. And you're happy enough to have all the comments criticizing
black people as a whole on here. But then, you don't want any actual discussion about that.
Anyone else notice how the ones claiming to be anti-racist are actually pretty racist?
Now, these are the kinds of comments I hate. These are the kinds of comments I hate. 19,000
likes on the comment that is literally bluntly saying anti-racism is racist. What? It's not
racist for me to say that it's racist to be racist. Oh, wow. I just said racist a lot of
times in a row. Does this video have ads on it? I'm really glad that I got this video
sponsored. Comments like these are the exact problem with videos like these. It's just an
endless feedback loop that paints a narrative that black people are victims 24/7 and
that we think everything is racist, even when it's not. And people get to use
videos like this as fuel when deep down, they probably know it's not true. They just
don't want to hear anything called racist ever, because... I don't know, maybe it be
hitting too close to home. I wouldn't know. Five minutes of straight hatred and racism
coming from woke and tolerant people. People try to do the same thing with tolerant as they
do with anti-racist and make it sound like it's a bad thing. It's not bad. Fun fact, fun
fact, tolerance is not suddenly bad just because some people who claim to be tolerant are annoying.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with being white. Okay, good for you. What? Who care? I'm so proud. That was really stunning
and brave for you to come forward and say, "It's okay to be white." What's next? Is it okay
to breathe, folks? Oh no, I just said folks. They are literally getting to me. I'm turning
into a cut character at this point. What else are we good at? Putting up with stupid crap like
this, but it's getting harder every day. That's what she said. I see sad, lost, confused, and
hateful individuals. This is one criticism of this video I don't agree with. I really didn't get
the vibe that every single person in this video, or even the ones who were sounding
racist when this video is edited together are all hateful. You know what I mean? This
final comment is one I agree with completely. This is actually racist. Media trying to
keep up the division this country. Yes, thank you. This comment sums up my exact opinion.
This person might actually be, and I hate to use the word, woke. This person has saw, seen through,
has saw, has seen ... gosh, I hate English. You know what? Maybe this video is right.
Colonialism undo it. I want to be African. This blatant manipulation of the voices of 100 black
people in an effort to make Black people look bad, that way you can anger everyone else, including
racists, so you can get more clicks on your BuzzFeed style channel, is something that I will
call out every single time. I really feel like anyone just going like, "Oh, black people are
wrong or white people are wrong," is perhaps missing the larger issue here, which is cut. It's
cut. It's never race war. Not real, not a thing. It's never, ever going to be the people involved,
not black people or white people. It's always the people trying to feed this weird machine and
keep us at each other's throats in the cycle, because there's money to be made off of this.
Well, I'm here to tell you we don't care. This is me quoting that Stephen A. Smith video. Hold on.
I'm here to tell you right now, we don't care. Let me tell you, we don't care.
I love that video so much. Cut specifically is disgusting because they really did just start off
as like this BuzzFeed wannabe channel. If you go to their channel before Black Lives Matter started
trending, fun fact, there's nothing on here. Nothing on here that has anything to do with
black people specifically, but then Black Lives Matter happens. Well again, because Black
lives have always mattered, it's just people keep remembering this every few years and it starts
trending on Twitter. Then, Cut, all of a sudden, oh my God, gosh, look at this, who is Karen? Keep
it 100 Black in America. Colorism, trans women and nonbinary people of color. What exactly are white
people superior at? It's like now all of a sudden that it's cool to care, you all care.
You can go to their website right now and see they have a whole half
side Black Lives Matter statement. To our audience, our colleagues, friends and
family, we cannot continue with business as usual and neither should you. Our hearts
are broken after witnessing the murders of a bunch of people whose names you do not
deserve to say because you don't care. Stop. I really hope somebody from this ... Who
is behind this, actually? Okay, cool. I just had a sinking feeling. I really did have a sinking
feeling in my heart of hearts, that it was not Black people buying this. I did. I did. Something
in the back of my mind was seeing all the weird language that they're using in these video topics
that any black person could tell you, "Hey, that's not a great idea. Don't do that, maybe."
This is just coming across as a bunch of non-black people trying to seem cool at the expense of
actual black people. There they are folks. Yeah, sure. There's black people working there,
but literally this is run by white people just trying to seem not racist and being racist in
the process. You don't need Cut in your life to listen to black people. You don't need me in
your life to listen to black people. Just listen. I want to wrap this up with my final opinion
on this, which someone actually expressed way better than I can. The rapper No Name
who I actually enjoy a lot said, "Why are white leftists more eager to unify with racialized
communities than organizing your own people first? Unity with black people is meaningless as long as
the masses of white people are indoctrinated into white supremacy and liberalism. Please
don't speak to me about it, please." Now, you have a choice. You're free to just read
this as No Name said that unity is bad. That's, go off, I love that for you. But if you want to
actually read what's being said here, I could not agree more. The way Black Lives Matter trended did
this year and seeing everyone just seem more eager to post black squares than they were to confront
their friends and family. Bro, talk to people about the problems that are going on here and stop
trying to seem so eager to prove to me that you're not racist and just do whatever you can to undo
racism being a massive problem in this country, which it already is by the way. It starts at home.
It does get a little weird. So Cut, I really view as the real villain in this
situation. It's not like this one video of me calling them out is going to do anything
to stop them from doing this in their future. Hopefully, this video is an alternative
perspective and you can see that not all black think the same. I really doubt all the black
people in that video think the same. They don't because they're people. You know what I mean?
Anyway, in conclusion, Cut needs to cut it out. Everyone using this video as an excuse
to pretend that black people are monolith needs to cut it out. If I've learned anything,
maybe I just need to make a channel called Snip where I reedit Cut videos into what they're
actually saying. But that's way more effort than they deserve. I would like to get into
today's comments shout out from my last video. The third thing that is weird is that there's
no chat spamming high YouTube. Of course, what this is referring to is usually above
me. There is just my entire Twitter chat. but I happen to not be online right now, but I
did notice a lot of you joined me last time I mentioned the Twitch channel, which is good. But
if I'm being honest with you, it's not enough. Follow me on Twitch and come check out tomorrow's
stream. Anyway, I'll be here all week folks at 2:00 P.M. Central time. If it's Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, that means I'm uploading a new video here. If it's Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, that
means I'm going live over on Twitch. Basically, what I'm saying is I'll see you tomorrow. Unless
of course tomorrow is Sunday in which case, just watch this video again. Okay, bye.
