Francesca Ramsey’s video “Shit White Girls Say…to Black Girls” was not only hilarious, but it’s sparked quite a few interesting conversations about race in America.
The video, which poked fun at some of the ridiculous things white people have said to black folks, quickly circled the internet both entertaining and enlightening viewers. Many Black viewers felt Ramsey’s video comically dealt with the subtle racism and privilege some white people express toward minorities without even knowing it, while others felt the video was an example of reverse racism.
CLUTCH contributor Tami Winfrey Harris took this issue head on in her article, ‘Not Everyone’s Laughing at ‘Shit White Girls Say to Black Girls,’ and explained why it’s foolish to label Ramsey’s video racist, and now a new viral video from a man from the blog, Future Talk, takes the conversation one step further.

What do you think, Clutchettes?
@QONew
Of course Black men have to deal with racism too everybody knows that, I made the point that When people think of racism towards Blacks they tend to think of from a Black male perspective.
The reason for that is due to Sexism, Racism effects Black women in a different way.
Black women do hear comments from Black men that put them down racially too using the same microaggresive ignorance expressed in Francesca Ramseys vid eg.
‘Your pretty for a dark skinned girl’
‘I’m not attracted to girls with natural hair’
‘I hate weaves’
‘Why are black women always so difficult’
‘I’d date a Black woman but I cant have kids with anyone darker than me’
‘i only date white women, its just a preference’
etc etc I could go on. chuck in a few misogynist rappers & videos.
Not to mention the constant Black woman bashing on youtube and throughout the internet.
I’m not denying that Black men deal with racism its just a refreshing change that some focus has been put on the Black female experience of how Racism effects Black female lives in the contemporary western world. I’d love to see a film on this topic
very well said
Will it make you feel better if I admitted to saying to a girl – you got a big arse for a light skin chick?
I mean this woman had an arse that drove me crazy.
My first thought on seeing this chick was –
who do I have to f uck up to claim that ass as mine?
Anyway the night I met her, she walks up to me and goes hi.
aargh! who me?
I aint gonna front – I’m a grown ass man but I got instant cock quake.
I tried to play it cool – you know, like love gurus tell ya, and came back with a
speed dial chat up line –
I said hi back and –
are you my reward for some good deed or I am your reward for having so MUCH “love” to give?
Delivered and timed to perfection, she didn’t stand a chance.
Forgive me the sin of lust but I NEEDED dat ass.
LMAO!
she kinda paused for a second, looked at me, and said – come again.
I said – what?
she started giggling, I started giggling
then I realised
She had just experienced what I call
a black man shouldn’t moment.
LMAO ha ha ha ha
A black man shouldn’t moment is when people are tickled and charmed when a black man hits em with something they didn’t expect to come from a black man.
Usually some witty observation articulated in a way they’d expect to come from a well educated white person. It’s got that ooh factor to it. (Brits will know what I mean) lol
I confirmed it with her – you’re having a blackman shouldn’t moment – aint ya?
she giggled some more and nodded yeh.
We both knew what was going on.
So what’s the moral of the story?
I love it when they don’t see this black man coming.
Needless to say . . . .
mmm mmm mmm!
Hey – take a leaf
LMAO!
Sounds like a lie, SM…
Wassup – never had a hot chick walk up to you and offer you da nani on a plate – before?
Don’t be a hater.
be a six footer
be a hairy scary beefed up black bastard
be tatted up
get yourself up in THUG chic
and be nice –
contrary to what you lames have heard
the nice part is the part that counts.
that’s where you’re going wrong.
lmao
So if they put this guy’s video before Red Tails is the boycott off? Just asking.
I liked this guy’s post. It is refreshing to see that a White man has a bit of understanding of what the truth is. I think that his take on things maybe able to reach a slice of society that would otherwise turn a deaf ear to similar explanations offered by a person of color. I commend him. Each one teach one.
He gets it. Cool. I really appreciate Tami Winfrey’s assessment though.
I know there are a lot of white people who weren’t offended by ‘Sh*t White Girls Say to Black Girls’ and didn’t find it racist, but I’m a little surprised to see someone white say it out loud.
boring ,… next please

Chivalry Ain’t Dead …He Just Don’t Like Yo Ass! – http://youtu.be/XG_qzvyoJa0 ..this shit is HILARIOUS!
Who is this guy? I just have to know!
preach.
winning
so let me get this:
1. black girl with – her white male friend – makes a video about the mean and insensitive things that white girls supposedly say to poor defenceless black girls.
2. white girls get mad and shout “reverse racism”
3. several black people state that it is isn’t at all racist because racism is system of advantages based on racial characteristic and associations, not just stereotypical or ridiculing portrayals. several white white women and people of other races independently make similar analyses.
4. clutchettes collectively yawn.
5. video of a random white guy pretty much using recycled arguments to promote his blog explains that ramsey’s vid isn’t reverse racism, and clutchettes get all heart a flutter.
really now? really.
shupse.
Errrrrr….yup……yes indeed….that pretty much summed it up.
You’re jealous! That is so cute. Show me a video with a black man saying the same and I’ll hit the “like” button.
nah.
how about this.
you read over what i wrote about ‘neo-chivalry’ – white and/or black – before this video came out: http://blackonpurpose.blogspot.com/2012/01/saving-black-asses-end-of-socio.html
i’ll post that video after you post ‘shit white guys say to black girls’. can’t find it? wonder why. interesting bias.
anyway, despite what the white guy says, there’s more to the racial prejudice angle of the piece. in all your celebrate the white boy glee, did any of you consider this:
