Why do we call White People Caucasian? It's an interesting question considering that outside America, Caucasian simply refers to the people from the region around Caucasus Mountains. Not only that, but there's actually a pretty messed up history to what seems like a pretty innocuous word. What is that history?

Is PC Culture Anti-Free Speech? | Decoded | MTV News
We’ve been hearing a lot about “PC Culture” from the conservative media and presidential candidates lately, and the consensus seems to be that all of this political correctness is stifling our right to freedom of speech. But when has speaking out against discrimination and hate ever stripped someone else of their ability to voice their opinion? You still have the freedom to say whatever you want, and the “PC Police” still have the right to tell you how wrong you are.

How to Stop Victim Blaming | Decoded | MTV
Ever hear someone say, “Well she shouldn’t have gotten drunk?” or “Well it makes sense considering what she was wearing.” Pretty much no matter what bad thing happens to you, there’s always going to be someone that tells you that, in someway, it’s your own fault. This terrible tendency is called Victim Blaming and it happens a lot, especially to victims of sexual assault. And while there are real psychological reasons why people like to blame victims, there’s new research that suggests that there is a way to greatly reduce the tendency to victim blame. And it’s actually pretty simple. What is it? Watch the episode to find out!

You CAN'T Sound White! | Decoded | MTV News
There's a lot of messed up things with the phrase "You Sound White!" On one side, some people are trying to give you a weird, backhanded compliment that implies that only white people are educated and intelligent. On the other side, people of color often use the phrase to tell you that you don't belong. It's a common saying that's both dumb and hurtful because at the end of the day, your voice is simply your voice.

Does talking about Racism mean you hate White People? No. But a lot of people do feel that way and in this episode we uncover the root of how that idea emerges.

While many may believe that anti-semitism (which is the hatred of and discrimination against Jewish people) is over thanks to "America’s role in ending the Holocaust" that’s simply not true. And a big part of the reason is the way we talk about the Holocaust in this country. We here at Decoded even made this mistake in our episode about slavery.

How Voter ID Laws Explain Structural Racism | Decoded | MTV News
Voter ID Laws may seem like a good idea, but they’re actually pretty terrible! On the surface, these laws appear to be a reasonable way to stop people from pretending to be someone else when they vote. But the reality is that this kind of voter fraud almost never happens!!! Instead Voter ID Laws primarily prevent the poor, the elderly, and people of color from voting. They way they’ve disenfranchised people of color is part of a very long history of voter suppression and is a classic example of structural racism. On this episode of Decoded, we show just how this systematic oppression works!

While the stereotypical racist in the US might be a southern good ole boy, the reality is that "progressive" Northern and Western states have had a pretty long and terrible history with racism as well. Whether it's a the history of sundown towns that threatened violence against people of color if they were found there after dark, the incredibly racist founding of Oregon, or the long history of redlining to prevent home ownership, it seems like racism certainly wasn't and isn't just a southern phenomenon.

STOP Blaming Affirmative Action for Your College Rejection | Decoded | MTV News
STOP Blaming Affirmative Action for Your College Rejection | Decoded | MTV News
Getting into college is tough, but being rejected from school is even tougher. One of the biggest myths is that affirmative action is taking away spots from those who deserve them more. However, Affirmative Action is not about selecting under-qualified candidates of minority races, but about giving those minorities an equal opportunity to be considered in the first place. And more than just minorities are benefiting. In fact, white women have historically been the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action! Of course, no one thinks the college admissions process is perfect, but maybe the frustration should be directed towards other aspects of the college admission process… (*cough cough* legacy admissions).

Why is the 1% So White? | Decoded | MTV News
Out of 536 billionaires in the USA, only 3 are black. Why the stark racial divide? Well it's complicated, but it turns out our history of racism has a lot to do with it. From segregated schools that receive less funding in property taxes, to the history of redlining black homeowners, to the long history of slavery, oppression, and segregation, white families were accumulating wealth. That "old money" has provided the capital for the modern-day billionaires, and even average-income white families, to stay significantly ahead of black Americans. So how can we fix the wealth divide in America?

4 Reasons "White Pride" Makes People Uneasy | Decoded | MTV News
Pride in your heritage can be a beautiful thing. It can promote self-confidence, a sense of community, and a broader awareness of the issues a particular group of people may face. But what happens when that pride is used for totally opposite reasons? ‘White pride’ has, over the course of history, been a weapon used against people of color to silence and oppress them. It has associations with some pretty horrendous groups that promote violence and prejudice (such as the KKK). So when people wonder why it’s unacceptable to celebrate white pride, it’s important to consider its background.

Beyoncé Formation Comment or MLK Hate Mail? | Decoded | MTV News
Beyoncé Formation Comment or MLK Hate Mail? | Decoded | MTV News
Beyonce’s ‘Formation’ video sparked quite a reaction. Criticisms have been numerous, and often racially-charged. The general critique has been that Beyonce is instigating violence against police officers, and that she should not have used her platform at the Super Bowl to discuss controversial issues in the black community. However, if you look back to some of the hate-mail that Martin Luther King Jr. received in the 1960s, the comments are eerily similar. It makes you wonder why MLK, now respected as a symbol of peaceful protest and racial unity, was viewed by many at the time as an instigator of violence and segregation. Why were people trying to silence a man speaking out against obvious injustice and why are they doing the same to Beyonce?

This is of course in stark contrast to how police and media responded to protests in Ferguson and Baltimore following the deaths of Mike Brown and Freddie Grey. So what's the deal here?

When Christmas comes around you can usually expect to see Santa, his reindeer and helpful elves everywhere. But Dutch Santa doesn’t have elves...he has “Black Pete” or “Zwarte Pete.” Pete first showed up in the 1850 Dutch book “Saint Nicholas and his servant.” The story claims “Black Pete” is black because of the chimney soot, but that doesn’t explain his afro textured hair, or large bright red lips….all familiar racist black caricatures. Today, Black Pete is still a huge tradition in the Netherlands.

Because over 40 Million young(ish) Americans owe over 1.2 Trillion dollars in student loan debt and millions of others have this spectre of debt loom over crucial life decisions. And while there are no easy answers about what to do about it, there are a lot of good questions like: Why has tuition across the United States skyrocketed over the past 30 years? What are your student loans really paying for? Is there anything you can do? And perhaps most importantly, is this all just a bunch of Bullshit?

Should ALL Native American Mascots be BANNED? | Decoded | MTV News
Franchesca Ramsey: to you with love by: by: thanks to Lauren Chief Elk @ChiefElk for helping consult on this video!
For the Season 1 finale of Decoded, Franchesca (with special guest Nataanii Means!) tackles the racist and destructive use of Native American mascots that continues to portray them as a “savage” and “violent” people. With over 2,000 sports teams using their image in the U.S. and Canada alone, the perception of Native Americans has become so distorted that more people are familiar with fictional native people than real ones. What do you think about sports teams using Native Americans for mascots? Discuss your thoughts in the comments!

Franchesca Ramsey: to you with love by: by: making strides within the movie industry in recent years, people of color have remained OVERWHELMINGLY under-represented, particularly for iconic lead roles.

If Microaggressions Happened to White People | Decoded | MTV News
Franchesca Ramsey: ? to you with love by: ? does it mean to be white? Watch MTV’s documentary White People now. by: ?
Microaggressions are those super annoying, often inadvertent insults that frame people of color as part of a stereotype rather than individuals with their own unique identities. Not only are they insulting, but people of color have to deal with them EVERYDAY. This got Francesca thinking, what if white people were to experience racial microaggressions?

On Intersectionality in Feminism and Pizza
**KEY**:
Burgers = Men
Pizza = Women
Cheese Pizza = White Women
Deluxe Pizza = any combination of gay, bi, trans, POC etc., women
I think it's time we talk about feminism a little differently/more inclusively on YouTube. While it's great and delightful to have such broad discussions about sexism and feminism on the internet, it's pretty clear that the majority of the issues deemed worthy of discussion seem to only highlight the plight of White women. We're all hoping that one day women will be treated as equals on a societal level with men, but in the meantime, it would be nice if we could talk about issues maybe a little more pressing like the lack of media coverage when intersectional women go missing, or the reality of the pay gap. We gotta do better!

Season 5 Episode 23: Hermanus Zwelihle
"...land gets sold you'll find this place is mostly holiday resorts.....most of the land is taken by estate villages but then we don't get houses. It's been more 12 years"
"....the promise that came to the communities was that any development that takes place here the community should get something but its never happened...the community never gets anything that is promised....they build swimming pools but we cannot use running water....we're still living in the Apartheid Era, we are not free yet to get what we're suppose to get as equals in the free democracy of South Africa"
South Africa has progressed, however, much still needs to be done, as confirmed by the residents of Zwelihle - a small township situated between the more affluent towns of Hermanus and Sandbaai.
We sat down with members of the township as they shared the difficulties they experience. They speak of underdeveloped housing, the lack of job opportunity and Government support as well as the language barriers they face whilst searching for employment in the surrounding areas, even comparing their current struggles to those faced during Apartheid. They feel ignored and discouraged as much of their efforts to improve the situation for themselves ends in stagnation. Leading many to a life of crime as a last resort.

Power, Strength, Dignity Pt 2
Power, Strength, Dignity Pt 2
“Today I can proudly say, I’m a survivor, I was a victim then but I’m not a victim anymore”
The term Rape Culture was first used in the United States during the 1970s in feminist discussions on rape. Defined as a multifaceted societal belief structure, which fosters an absurd normality around sexual violence; it speaks of a society in which blame is assigned to victims, while the actions of perpetrators are disregarded as just another part of life which must be accepted. From our frightening rape statistics, it is evident that this belief is rife in our communities. In the second installment of Power, Strength, Dignity, we hear from another brave survivor who has had more than one experience with sexual violence and refuses to accept blame.

Cardi B and her RATCHET Antics #GirlTalk
Hey #Queen Team, in this video I talk about how I feel Cardi B handles her fame and her oppurtunity. Now I understand some people are NOT going to agree with me and thats fine but let’s be respectful. Don’t come on here cussing me and calling me names for speaking on your fave. I understand not everyone’s route and journey to their success differs but I, ME, QUEEN CHIOMA, PERSONALLY believes in giving credit to diligence and passion withins one’s craft. We all know Nicki just faced so much adversity within rap and within jump starting her career because she came out during a time were social media and exotic dancers transitioning into the music industry or just becoming famous was not a trend. Idk yall, I like her to an extent, but I just don’t like when someone has it all but behave like they are not content or still bothers themselves with things they no longer have to endure. I wish she would just move on and stay focused on other things like rapping.

Kylie Jenner & Tyga. Cultural Appropriation #GirlTalk ft WigsBuy
Hey #Queen Team, in this video I give my opinions on Tyga's oomments on making Kylie Jenner who she is as stated on Nicki Minaj's QUEEN radio. I feel like often times men get mad when a women they onc had relations with surpasses them and black men who date out of their race often influence their partner as it relates to the black culture and this can sometimes yield negative outcomes for both parties. Whata re you thoughts?

COLLEGE H0E$ #GirlTalk
COLLEGE H0E$ #GirlTalk
Hey #Queen Team, you’re at a part of your life where everything is going to change and you’re gonna meet girls, whether thats a roommate, classmate, or a girl who becomes popular on campus for a plethora of reasons.
These girls didn’t come to college to learn. And if they did thats not their first priority. They came to turn up, feel a sense of freedom, and seek, crave, and garner attention from guys.
Characteristics:
1. They barely go to class or do make it a priority
2. They post EVERYTHING to social media: where the go, who they’re with, what outfit they wear, when they’re turnt up, all the people they know,…
3. They have NO sense of censorship. That goes for what they say, who they have sex with, what they wear, etc.
4. They crave attention. Usually try their hardest to get validation from females, but guys who have titles like greeks, football players, the party promoter guys, the weedmen, etc.
5. They don’t make it past the first semester because of the reasons above. They became so dependent on being the campus IT girl, they’re on academic probation, suspension, or get put out for behavioral issues.
Stay Woke
- look out for fake friends
- people who are not focused don school
- people who you cannot relate to to
- people who have bad intensions
- people who cant take accountability for their shit
Stay Confident
- the summer before, figure out who you are and own it
- Dont let a guy’s comments or opinions on other girls ruin you
- surround yourself with confident people
Be Yourself
- Dont allow anyone to change you, manipulate you, or make you have peer pressure
- Be able to tell yourself when you’re wrong or getting out of character.
- Keep the same energy in all situations. You have to be known as the same person in every scenario
-
Disclaimers:
Not saying if you do this yorue a hoe, but 9/10 they are.
The real word I would consider the people I’m referring to is “ College Clout Chasers” or people in college who are here for the wrong reasons.
