white people. If crime statistics really
0:02
mattered to us, we would be talking
0:04
about white men every damn day. We, as
0:08
white people, love to throw out
0:10
statistics when it comes to the black
0:11
community. We love to misconstrue data
0:14
about poverty rates, crime rates, single
0:16
parent households. Here's the thing. If
0:18
you really want to talk about
0:19
problematic behavior in terms of
0:22
statistics, we need to talk about white
0:24
men. Most mass shootings in America,
0:27
white men. school shootings, white men.
0:31
Intimate partner violence, typically
0:33
known as domestic violence, white men.
0:37
Police brutality and systemic violence,
0:40
white men. Online harassment and
0:43
extremism, white men. Domestic
0:46
terrorism, white men. Serial killers,
0:51
white men. the demographic making up the
0:53
vast majority of CEOs, judges, senators,
0:56
and police chief who refuse to hold
0:58
white men responsible,
1:01
white men. And yet, us white men are
1:03
really talked about as being a problem.
1:06
Few white people are asking, "What's
1:08
wrong with white men? What's wrong with
1:11
the culture?" Few white men are
1:13
demanding that we be fixed. And why?
1:16
because we as white men humanize and
1:19
individualize white violent offenders
1:23
and it's time to flip the script to
1:25
shame and blame because I know white
1:27
males are incredibly fragile when it
1:29
comes to that. But instead to name
1:32
what's really going on and who continues
1:34
to be protected and not held accountable
1:37
because of selective storytelling.
