PetersonFU: White Privilege Isn't Real, Part One
I can't even believe that I have to make videos like this. How is it that after 246 years of slavery and another 100 plus years of Jim Crow, segregation, redlining, etc... this is even an area of dispute? Even if you think all of that has been fixed (and it hasn't), are we really supposed to believe that nearly 400 years of shit isn't affecting people in the present? How else to explain all the disparities? Hmmm? The stupid in Peterson's comments here is beyond belief. Being a professor at a major university clearly means nothing.
Sorry for the lack of pop-ups in this video. There's just not a lot of funny to be found here. And my performance is already dripping with sarcastic contempt. There are a few more in part two. But I almost feel bad putting anything in. I'm white as fuck and I'm so sick of this shit. I can't even imagine what people of color must feel.
An extra big and special thanks to those of you supporting videos like this. There are no words for how much I appreciate you. B

I sincerely wish your rebuttal to Peterson’s speech could be shown to everyone who sat in his audience agreeing with his idiocy.
I’m tracking them all down individually. 😘
Jared Diamond’s book, Collapse, is also one of my favorites.
I haven’t read that one yet. Looking forward to it.
Saddest of all is that caucasoids think they're the crème de la crème of humanity because of… wait for it… race. ¡Bosta! It actually boils down to a mere coincidence of evolving in the Fertile Crescent. Plants and animals gave them a leg up: NOT any genetic "superiority" of race —as Jared Diamond aptly points out in "Guns, Germs, and Steel."
Don't know if you saw it, but Michael Shermer interviewed Jared at his home here in LA back in 2018. I shot it. He's fucking amazing!!! The most accomplished person I've ever known. Speaks 12 languages, is a medical doctor, anthropologist, historian, author, professor, AND an accomplished classical pianist. And that's just for starters!!! He made me feel like I've done absolutely nothing with my life. Can we make more of him?
Hi Bri Bri, we've never met except thru your videos, but I'm your friend and yes it's one sided friendship (my side not yours).
I can't see how it's in any way one-sided. You're my very best friend ever — you're a patron!!! And I always enjoy your comments. I think this is very much a two-way street. Or were you saying that I'm the shittiest friend ever? Ha!!!
The sacrifices you make Brian, watching a whole JP video.
I'm not kidding —his was hard to write because every time I hit play, I'd get so upset and start ranting in my head that I'd have to walk away and calm down. This is beyond stupid. It's heartless stupidity. Just the way he's so dismissive of the points made is itself evidence of white privilege. He finds the points petty and trivial because he's never been without them and has no idea how valuable they are to those without. There's a complete lack of empathy. It's disturbing coming from a professional in the psychological field.
Daaamn! I knew he was an idiot, but now I don't have to feel sorry for him. Thanks for the heads up!
Where was he speaking? I am ashamed to acknowledge that Peterson is Canadian, but it does mean that the racism is more subtle -- no plantation slavery and no Jim Crow. Plenty of discrimination, though.
It doesn't say where he was speaking. But yeah... I hear you.
