MTV White People

[Paranoid Android]

On July 22nd, MTV will air a documentary titled: White People In this documentary, Jose Antonio Vargas will look at race from the side of how white people today, deal with racism, white privilege and how white people identify themselves.



I find it interesting, seeing how many discussion we have in threads and it deals with race. In my opinion I tend to see that white people do not look at race as the other side. Again, personally I do not like when all I read is that of how white people, especially males, are the new people being persecuted in this country.

When was the last time you watched MTV?

I mean it does sound interesting, I do like listening to the perspective of all sides. Just ugh... MTV lol.

MTV is for kids. Mature adults don't watch MTV.
Who cares what they broadcast, only children will see it.


*edit*
Just watched the linked vid. LoL what a joke.
I bet Mallsecurity, Pann and Protar would LOVE that fucking show.

Why didn't they ask black people what they think about them and do the whole self reflective thing instead seems strange to me in the first place.

I can't wait. A lot of white male 20 somethings on the Internet seem out of touch with social issues for some reason. The Confederate flag is trending social issue and yet so many can't even see why someone might find the flag offensive and why the Charleston shootings were the tipping point.

Interesting, though I wouldn't watch it since it's just something to grab your attention instead of an actual "documentary."

[Felya]

Will this all be set to a Mentors as a soundtrack?

Are we meant to feel guilty for being born white when we had no control over it, or something?

All races have committed acts of evil. It's not exclusive to white people.

They did! I used to watch videos on Sat night after school.
If you could stay up late enough, you could see the really cool obscure music videos from around the world.

The documentary, while probably not stated, is from the view of United States citizens. Yes, anyone can be a racist. Here in the United States you cannot deny the advantages of whites, namely White Anglo Saxon Protestants have enjoyed. Same as if it was some country in Asia being racists to whites.

Did you have a list of those advantages?

You forgot Themius and a mod who will remain unnamed. Assuming that it's trying to say that it's all in white people's heads which is the idea I am getting from it.

PS: It isn't. Most of the people I know and deal with every day of any race or ethnic background get along just fine. At work there is no race and we do enjoy each other's company and work together. Yet the media will demonize anything done against a minority as a hate crime the second it happens. I can honestly say I've met as many racist black people as I have met racist white people in my life and even that has been very few.

20 years ago maybe. The only white privilege that exists today is maybe in terms of attraction if that. Otherwise everything is equal. Inb4 people mention a Shaqualanfanza didn't get a job somewhere over Bob who did get the job when ratchet made up names like that(yes they are made up like Airwrecka) should have changed their name the second they were an adult.

No, like, they used to air music during normal hours decades ago. Not at 3am.



Edus?

They did, but they aired rly cool European videos late at night. They were EPIC.
Falco Rock Me Amadeus non US version had a "slip of a nip'. That was BIG when I was younger.

[anveena]

Just what I need to watch, a show informing me of my white privilege and how I should feel bad about it.
