00:00:00.160 What up guys, welcome to my Coffee Talks. Today I want to talk about some of my observations
00:00:06.260 living in different communities. I grew up in a predominantly white, upper middle class
00:00:12.060 area, maybe middle class, upper middle class, I don't know, depends who you ask, right?
00:00:18.760 And then I moved overseas and when I moved overseas I lived in London which is one of
00:00:24.360 the diverse, most diverse places on the planet. And I really got to know deeply like African
00:00:30.740 cultures. There's even like a black American culture, Muslim culture. And I was in the,
00:00:39.300 I was in the East London. So it was basically anything but white. And, you know, growing up, 0.93
00:00:46.000 I always heard that white people don't have culture, right. But when I lived in an area
00:00:51.420 that was pretty much non-white um i worked with pretty much not white i realized that white people
00:00:57.080 do have culture there is stuff that is distinct to white people so um and this is just my
00:01:04.580 observations you guys can take it or leave it so white men naturally have high status 0.70
00:01:10.180 um they're usually the inventors of society they're the highest earning groups and when it
00:01:16.260 comes to really the movers and shakers of society um it's a lot of white men right the country the
00:01:22.220 united states was founded by white men and white men just tend to be the most competent like if i
00:01:28.640 was going to look at white men as a species um they would be the most competent species on the 1.00
00:01:35.940 planet right they have the most olympic medals um they have the most inventions and they're always
00:01:41.240 seen as these evil dictators but really when you get to know white men as a group they're actually
00:01:47.920 the most helpful group of people ever like um you know they always make fun of white people because
00:01:54.260 we go oh i'm sorry am i in your way you're in my way you know it's just we're very like polite you
00:02:00.080 know and like my dad growing up he was a ceo white guy right if he saw someone like with the groceries
00:02:08.900 like walking out of the store he would go grab their groceries put them in their car
00:02:13.200 like but you know in other communities you might think you're getting robbed you know and that's
00:02:20.760 just how my dad was and that's how a lot of white people are and I grew up in a really high trust
00:02:25.980 area so like we could leave our doors open um so I ended up moving to London and the first year I'm
00:02:33.220 there, I'm in a predominantly black area. And what I've noticed being in a black area was that 0.99
00:02:39.860 even though they talk about like racism and oppression, a lot of times they emulate white 0.62
00:02:47.380 people, like black women's wigs and stuff. Um, like it emulates white women hair, you know, 0.99
00:02:56.520 and a lot of times like black people, they are trying to get into the communities that white 0.66
00:03:02.840 people like white men naturally are high status in society maybe it's controversial but they're 0.83
00:03:10.440 naturally high status in society but they do not care about high status so like there's all these
00:03:18.140 places that are built with hopefully like the promise of getting in contact with these movers
00:03:24.440 and shakers like men in society these high status men but what you actually get in those um like 0.68
00:03:31.500 high-end restaurants and stuff a lot of the time is men pretending to be high status men
00:03:37.980 because um when i think of like some of the highest status men i know you you would meet
00:03:45.000 them at home depot culver's like it's not these like fancy restaurants like those are for women 1.00
00:03:52.920 men trying to sleep with women and therefore emulating those high status men and it's 0.56
00:03:58.640 interesting what i've noticed is no matter where i go around the world um everybody is trying to be
00:04:08.340 the white guy like white women are trying to be their husbands like their husbands are the movers 1.00
00:04:13.240 and shakers and so many times like the women take credit for everything the white men do let's take 0.52
00:04:18.940 like jeff bezos um the fact that his ex-wife got half of his fortune he has so much money he probably
00:04:25.700 doesn't care right but the fact that his ex-wife um worked as like a secretary at his company and 0.90
00:04:32.760 thinks she's entitled to half his fortune that's incredible and she what she's trying to do is men 1.00
00:04:38.800 like bezos she's trying to emulate his competence and you see this from other communities too like
00:04:47.560 um you know like the muslims to me it was kind of incredible that they would feel so strongly
00:04:58.200 about like muslim heritage but they were fighting so hard to be in england like a white like i think 0.99
00:05:04.980 by the time i left um england was a mostly muslim area you know so it's like white people
00:05:12.060 white culture built this civilization and then all the other cultures want to be a part of it
00:05:17.740 and then say that white people are bad or our religion is bad or this is bad and it's just so
00:05:25.020 interesting to me because um i mean there's a lot of different types of white people but here's some 0.93
00:05:31.260 things i guess i personally missed when i wasn't in a white area over politeness over helpfulness
00:05:42.060 like, when I lived in a black area, and this was in England, right, people would rob the co-op
00:05:49.560 that I lived next to. They would just take food and walk right out. I'd never seen that in my life,
00:05:56.880 ever. And it's just interesting, because the real movers and, like, shakers in the world, 0.95
00:06:12.060 they have the most status a lot of the times but they care the least about it
00:06:19.620 and everybody's trying to emulate that status that white men and sometimes white women have
00:06:26.740 white women i have my my gripes with um but they'll never get it because 1.00
00:06:32.780 white men's competence like it just can't be it can't be emulated um 0.86
00:06:38.880 like if you follow and it's not every white guy but i've only met a white guy that could build
00:06:47.340 a house with his bare hands and i could confidently say that he could do it right
00:06:52.520 um they always know how to do their own plumbing they always do i know even like the rich ones
00:06:58.040 like they they know how to do the plumbing how to do the electric in fact it's like looked down
00:07:04.000 upon in white culture to not do it yourselves except the women the men's responsibilities but
00:07:09.300 not the women the women can still have nannies and um I don't know HelloFresh and stuff um but 1.00
00:07:15.880 yeah I don't know um I might talk more about this later but I've noticed white men have the most 1.00
00:07:25.560 status in society they care the least about it other communities they try to emulate that status
00:07:30.340 through Look, going to events, going to high-end restaurants, but they can never really be a part
00:07:38.120 of it because they cannot emulate the competence of white men. White women try to be white by 1.00
00:07:45.280 taking white men's jobs, and a lot of times white men let them, and they say have it and walk away.
00:07:51.720 And I really didn't appreciate living in a white area until I didn't, so let me know what you guys
00:07:56.960 thank the comments, like the video, and I'll see you next time.
