Top Comments of this video!! :3
8:20 I'm an Asian woman. Trust me, I've heard of women from every ethnic group that have strong patriarchic/machismo culture say that "white men treat women better" and whatnot. Not all the women say this of course. Usually the women that say this are not well-informed or very experienced in interacting with actual white men. They just put all white men on a pedestal based on what they see in popular culture or surface-level interactions, in the hopes that white men are less patriarchal than the men from their own community that they're familiar with. It's a form of escapism.

Young white woman here, i enjoy your content because it allows me to better understand the arguments that go on in academic spaces and gives me perspective that i wouldn't have otherwise. I've recommended your videos on the black manosphere before in class (grad school in women gender and sexuality studies) and others have come back after watching and said it was exactly the voice they needed to hear to understand as well.

I'm a white man raised by social liberals in the white white white white suburbs (97%), white white white conservative engineering college, who ended up in a very diverse Army. Thought I wasn't racist as a kid, still thought we didn't need affirmative action in the late 90's....learned a lot about how I got where I was through a whole pile of white privilege...
Anyway. Saw the preschool study about little black boys, and even though I FULLY understand how insane an advantage I have from the jump, it brought back a time I saw this in action while in the Army.
I was a new platoon leader, I was sitting down with my NCOs AND Company CO, talking about who my soldiers were, getting a brief on who was good, who to keep an eye on, who had prior discipline issues. They pointed me to T, who had been disrespectful and gotten written up. There were a few others, but he stood out. Thought I should get to know the people personally, rather than cast them in stone.
Turns out, T was an incredibly talented, driven black man from Cleveland who had the chip on his shoulder because his whole life had been those preschool teachers, and now NCOs, watching his every move just EXPECTING him to be a criminal.
I don't remember anything I did specifically, but I did all I could to show all in the unit that they had a fresh start with me, you do well, I do well, work hard for me, and I will fight for you.
Ended up helping T with a domestic issue early on, and all of a sudden, just having someone believe in him for real, and T was one of my most reliable, most hard working Soldiers, bar none.
Left the platoon, my senior NCO got replaced, and a month later, T was back to getting disciplined constantly as a problem Soldier. And to this day, I feel like it was fully a leadership problem.
All this to say...I believe you whole heartedly that black men are deeply, deeply unfairly disadvantaged from the jump, and I absolutely hate it. And I know I'm the one who benefits unfairly from it, and that sucks too. And just...ugh. Why can't we be better to each other?

Honestly, your content is like an oasis for me as a black dude. You’ve introduced me to so many schools of thought that white content creators just don’t touch. Before, i was of the belief that the only black male content creators pushed was toxic hotep bullshit. You introduced me to bell hooks! You’re what black men need honestly.

As one of the maidens here I support this content because it's not really for me and if I can give a little ad revenue to a progressive voice that speaks to the men in a way that can get them to open themselves to more left ideas, I'm here for it without expecting more female oriented content!

I used to be a substitute teacher. Your commentary about the disdain toward black boys was a spot on observation. Having witnessed such actions prompted me to stay away from the teacher's lounge and ignore the negativity directed at any student. In most instances, when an educator sincerely respect their students, they tend have fewer behavior issues from the learners.

I am an Arab woman who watches your channel. I support your content not because it's catered towards me but because I actually enjoy learning about these things. I also love supporting male voices in this progressive space specifically talking about Feminism for a predominantly male audience. So much to think about on this channel in terms of everything!! I've been in a slump for so long this Winter and your deep thoughts and philosophical questions and schools of thoughts bring me out of that slump and into myself. Thank you <3

The repeated accusation that you're popular with black women is such a tell though. Communicating to their audience that if black women like a creator, they aren't worth listening to.
