They have advantage over my white children. It has been this way for 40 years. Tell me again, rich and famous black woman, tell me about my white priviledge.

    Yeah that shit sounds good but if you think you haven't been victimized by this system one or the other then you're sadly mistaken. Everything from predatory lending to paying higher interest rates on home and car loans to having friends and relatives being victims of the double standards in sentencing and how the law is applied. Because you don't want to acknowledge it doesn't mean it didn't happen and doesn't exist.

    Love that she said how do you feel. Its almost as if they always ask us how we feel about it and in some twisted way they get off on the fact that it hurts you and gets black people angry. They love to know how bad you feel about yourself and how victimized you feel. Its like an ego boost for them they get off on it, like taking a shot of espresso for them when they see victimized black people and then look around and see how different life is for them. White people as a group have a real narcissism about them its sad and disturbing.

    I'm not 100% sure it's about inferiority, even if feeling inferior may be the end result. I think it's more about fear of the unknown coupled with a societal need to always be winning (keeping up with the Joneses). When I look back at my life as a brown woman in an almost entirely white environment, I realise I am seen as a threat. Someone who is inferior is hardly a threat worth worrying about too much... But it's clear to me now that to watch me excel felt like a direct insult to the egos of the (white) people around me. Humans are like that anyway, even with race removed from the equation.. if the neighbour is richer, happier, more beautiful etc etc then envy usually ensues.... But if that neighbour is black and or "other" then it becomes easier to express that envy in whatever way - because they are different and "not like me", something other and therefore something I can express disgust towards them more openly. Just my opinion, i really feel we need to move away from the concept of inferiority and literally take back the individual internal power that is rightfully ours. I'm at the point now where, should someone say something rascist to me, I would be on the floor laughing at their compete lack of education and culture. My reaction would not have been the same 10 years ago, but I realise now that me being upset is what they want, rascists want to see us do badly and they want to see us angry reactive and downtrodden so they can feel good about themselves in some way. I will not submit.

    Pure Black brilliance. I listen to this all the time to keep myself motivated, as a white person. It's also a masterclass on how to handle irresponsible white male interviewers, and always return to moral clarity. "Of course I do, but let me tell you, that's not the right question." Btw what a pitiful job interviewing by Rose -- a 45 second question to ask the if she experiences racism as a successful Black person (obviously), talks over her to say that Black people are also racist, talks over her again to say that white people are the real victims of racism, and concludes by asking she her to give free advice. Why did anyone take this guy seriously.

    @@socute9248 it‘s like we‘re seeing two totally different men. The first question seemed ignorant to me, too, but he‘s a white person in the 80s or something, how would he know what it‘s like to be black. Ignorance isn’t bad in itself, the unwillingness to be educated is. He‘s asking after all and not making a statement about it. When she told him that it was the wrong question, he didn’t get defensive either. He just asked for the right one. He could also already know the answer but still ask for the interview‘s sake, many interviewers do that. Secondly, when he mentioned her father being racist he added to her statement and she agreed with him. She has always felt morally superior to racists and her parents did, too. He added that she once mentioned her father being racist as a result of feeling that way and she confirmed it and explains that a little further. It‘s clear to me that he didn‘t say or mean to say that black people are racist, too. When they talk about the victims of racism, he basically summed up what she was saying. She at first explained how distorted racists‘ worldviews and their perception of themselves and others is. She then asked who a racist person without the construct of race and racism really is, points out how small they really are and that racism effects white people maybe even just as negatively as black people because of that. She also refuses to be seen as a victim, as she should, and he goes on to say that the morally inferior person is the ‚real‘ victim of racism and that they hold on to it for their self esteem. She agrees with him again. He never said white people are the real victims of racism. That’s an important thing to point out because it shows how your opinion about white males impacts your ability to see him for what he is. He doesn’t talk over her, he inserted some statements, added to the conversation and guided the overall interview, as an interviewer should. Talking over somebody is meant to shut them up. He clearly didn’t do that. She explained in detail and he just listened for the most part. And when he asked for free advice, he had no malice in his voice or his face. He seemed to want that advice, which would be beneficial for black and white people. She was smart enough to refer to her book, no harm, no foul. Sometimes we project things on people who didn’t do anything wrong, I’m certainly guilty of that. But I’m also conscious of it and I accept that sometimes my perception of others is just skewed. Being a white male asking these questions doesn’t make him a bad guy. It makes him a human, trying to understand. Actually don’t know why I went out of my way to write all that, I think I hope it just might make you question what you believe to be true and reflect.

It's not a different era. Also, he is not only a random white man -- he is a prominent journalist hosting a news show. His job is to be knowledgeable and ask good questions, and if he asks ignorant questions he is bad at his job. I am not asking all white men to be perfect, I am asking a well paid news anchor not be bad at his job. Btw this dude sexually harassed at least 35 women.

    @@socute9248 the 90s are a totally different time, people were much more ignorant in general back then. People were much less educated about other peoples' experiences and his question made perfect sense at the time. Again, it might be obvious to you how racism affects rich and accomplished black people as well but how would white people know without asking and listening. And like I said, these questions can be asked for the interview's sake, so Toni Morrison can talk about it. An interviewers job is not to know all the answers nor to be perfect but to ask the right questions, listen and guide the overall interview in a constructive way. She corrected him and he asked for the right question. Expecting white people or men to already know answers to questions that might be ignorant makes them afraid to even ask nowadays. I don't see a bad interviewer in this clip, you just don't seem to like him. And the sexual harassment is fucked up, that's probably why you don't like him. I don't either, doesn't really inform his behaviour here though.
