This shit really pisses me off alot, because privelage has nothing to do with your identity. My father is white and straight, yet he was born into in a life of poverty. His parents were alcoholics, and were both physically and sexually abusive. He joined the Army when he was 18, and drove a tank in Desert Storm. He has PTSD from all of this. Yet, when he came back, he married my mother and gave me the best life he could. He still struggles with his demons, and is still currently an alcoholic. I love him to no end, and appreciate the life he gave me. He did not have a privelaged lifestyle, yet BuzzFeed would claim he is privelaged.

Be ashamed by ourself is a weak mentality


While white privilage is a thing in some senses, as in you have less of a chance of getting gunned down by a cop for being black, there are so many other factors for many other parts of life that the privilage alone isn't going to get someone anywhere in life. For people to think that this privilage does more than lessen our chance of dying from prejudice is just foolish, as money is much more powerful in society.

I can agree with that mostly but I still think it's important to see how generational poverty still disproportionately affects black people due to the economic history of the united states and how they've treated minorities in general. Not to say only that group and impoverished people is definitely a better way of describing who's most affected, however when you have a group of people who have been systematically oppressed for the majority of their history (For simplicity sake lets say the end of Jim Crow laws) and are only then allowed to build wealth it's easy to see where white privilege can be important to talk about given certain circumstances.


I don't even understand anything going on in the world anymore

If you see a person from buzzfeed on the street you should probably push em into a moving vehicle it would be best

By the way don't look at me like I'm one of those mindless oofers that sees a hate video and all of a sudden he's just like "UHHH IM GOING TO SEND INFINITE HATE TO SAID CHANNEL THAT GOT HATED ON" instead let's just keep this to ourselves


I get this video is 3 years old and it may not be Emp's outlook or anyone else in this comment section for that matter. Hell, 3 years ago, I would've agreed with this video. But as it stands this video is a irresponsible analysis of privilege. Strawmanning Buzzfeed's condensed version of privilege as the version anyone left of center believes in wholeheartedly is simply incorrect. Privilege isn't cut and dry; i.e Michael Jordan isn't more oppressed than a middle class white person. Rather privilege is complex web of systems like class, race, and gender. It's that trans person will have less privilege to an otherwise equivalent cis person; same going for P.O.C, women, the poor, etc. It also isn't so black and white in terms of scale-- I mean they're called microaggressions for a reason. It sure as hell isn't Yugi-Oh where its a quantifiable point system, its just a framework to understand people on a socioeconomic level. Emp gives a good general description in the beginning, right before shitting on the Buzzfeed video. And I'm no authority on the subject, nor am I supportive of Buzzfeed. Frankly, I think Buzzfeed is too liberal for my taste and I prefer the more Breadtube side of things. I just am taking what I know and agree with and calling this video as I see it.

I think Emp has made great videos about YouTube culture and will continue to, but unfortunately this one just isn't one of them and I think is indirectly allowing for oppression to exist by undermining the reality of the progressives' view on privilege as a stupid Buzzfeed video.

Yea yea this I completely agree with this

@Phantom89 Buzzfeed doesn't hold a monopoly on the idea of privilege, bucko

I guess it makes sense.


No one is privileged. Everybody suffers. "Privilege" separates us. And segregates us. This is the kinda thing 60 years ago we worked to change. "Privilege" is racist backward and destructive.

I took the quiz.. felt dirty doing it. According to it im underprivileged


L i b e r a l s.

This is coming from a leftist btw.  Class divide is the real issue (but we still need to recognize racism and other forms of bigotry to unite the working class against capitali-)

@Kalypso And take from the working class like all other rich people?  You don't become part of the capitalist class by "working hard", you do it by exploitation of the working class.  They want you to think you can become rich just by working hard.  That's how they get you to produce hundreds of dollars of capital for them per hour while you get maybe 10 back.

You can work hard and become rich, class divide is a non-issue. People act like your class isn't about the decisions you made. 'You dug your grave, now get in it' kinda deal. People made the decision to quit high school, work at Mcdonalds their entire life,  leave nothing to their children, and make those same children dig out of the mess they dragged them into. AKA, my abusive mother and 'stepfather'.

I'm a straight white male, and I'm not rich. If I got a job, it would be because I'm smart.

@ars0on  I already talked about affirmative action. If you google it you'll see what I talked about. Also, companies don't care who they hire, as long as they make a profit.

@132 Gaming You know poc and black people are WAY more likely to not be hired be a job because of their race than they are to be hired only because of their race

@ars0on  Have you heard of Affirmative Action? It's a law that makes companies favor black people to meet a quota. Black people have lower standards to meet than white or asian people. It's kind of racist, if you think about it. It's basically saying black people can't succeed without help, which isn't really true for any race in America.

But your white privilege is also helping you


Why is the trending page full of Saturday night live videos


The German trend section is much worse. Like you come across a video you'd want to watch sometimes, a few you're not interested in but 90% of the German trending section is that one video. Except they're the majority.


White privlge doesn't mean your rich or you have a better start in life then others it just means when compared to black,Asian,Latino people you would most likely have better odds to getting a job a loan etc

@Nathan Beaubrunit all stems from the unfair advantage that minorities get called affirmative action. The only discrimination going on was helping other minorities by denying Asians

@DannyNeWedgeGT This just proves my point

@Nathan Beaubrun just Google Harvard and Asians

@DannyNeWedgeGT No  go on tell me all you know and not use excuses and have a actual argument


The biggest problem with the "check your privilege" argument is this.
If you are calling somebody privileged, you are implying that they are entitled to things which a normal person is not.
It is defined as 'a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.'

The key word in the definition being 'special'. If you're throwing around the word privilege you're basically saying that being harassed, abused, singled out, or discriminated against is the norm and should be treat as such.

Discrimination is inherently stupid, it is bred from ignorance. It should be viewed as disgusting behaviour and if you view and treat everybody as equal, that just means you have common sense.

This is not news to anybody but a lot of the people using this kind of language are doing it to try and convince themselves that they're good people, doing great things. If you want to spread a message of equality, stop pointing out everybody's skin colour when nobody else brought it up.

now hold on emplemon. While I understand your ideals and can agree to an extent, the idea of privilege normally seen is based more on how others view you and the benefits it possibly gives you. Take for instance you apply to a company with a boss who is racist (to keep it plain and simple) and you are a person of a non-Caucasian ethnicity. By default, due to that person's mindset, you are less likely to get a job at that company compared to someone of equal educational and economic standing as yourself who is Caucasian.

The whole idea of privilege isn't about an inherent advantage that you possess, it's a privilege of how society will react to you on factors outside of your control such as your skin color, sexual orientation, and even economic stability (see any kind of story where the poor kid is looked down on by the rich kids because they weren't born into a wealthy family even though they possibly earned the spot at the school with the rich kids)

Again, I agree with your interpretation of how privilege shouldn't be viewed, and the video made by buzzfeed is incredibly stupid, but in real life the factors outside of our control do unfortunately make a difference and they only way that will stop is when people no longer view people as "the other", which is very hard to do unfortunately due to human's innate tribal mindset.


my dad graduated collegde majoring in Chemistry. he worked for companies like domino sugar. then started working for Enterprise, bank of America and other places. I mean my family isn't the most rich and we are just  surviving. BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER. we have no privalage by buzzfeeds standards, because my dad is black and my mom even though white is A FEMALE
And me growing up a person of color and female Plus I'm Bisexual and I'm not heterosexual I will have no privalage when I'm older and I wont be able to go to college and be successful and people MUST pity me. because of my race, gender, and sexuality.

yea that's totally accurate buzzfeed


"Does race or gender affect their so called privilege?"Yes.More so race than gender thoughWomen aren't being killed by police as much as black people are being killed by policePrivilege is a real thing.I personally hate people saying "check your privilege", instead I say: just cause you can't see a group of people facing adversity and prejudice doesn't mean they are not.

@DisGuy OvahEere and a black kid that wants to be just like hitler... and a white kid who wants to be just like mj.

You basically proved the point; Race and gender don't matter a lot in the grand scheme of things, any individual can be privileged regardless of those things, which is why we shouldn't generalize everyone by race and tell them how privileged they are just because of it.

Not all black people are Michael Jordan.
Just like how not all white people are hitler

But every once in awhile you'll find a black kid who wants to be just like mj

And a white kid who wants to be just like hitler

You're missing the point of the "privilege" argument. We're not supposed to feel sorry for people who are less privileged, and we're not supposed to feel shame for our own privilege.

We're just supposed to be aware of our privilege when talking about issues that minorities face. When somebody makes a statement based on their life experience, you should take your differences in privilege into account before judging what they have to say.

When somebody says "check your privilege", they're telling you that you are making assumptions based on your own experiences rather than the other person's. That's it. It's nothing to get triggered over. There are certain hardships that you have never faced and could not really understand, so when somebody who has faced those hardships speaks about them, you should put more weight in their experiences than your own.

And yes, obviously there are privileged black people and under-privileged white people. That doesn't mean white privilege suddenly doesn't exist.

You're missing the point of the "privilege" argument. We're not supposed to feel sorry for people who are less privileged, and we're not supposed to feel shame for our own privilege.

Except it becomes moot when you have politicians, teachers, professors, and people on their social media platform saying that a homeless white man has more privilege than Barack Obama.
Lots of white people are already aware that others are less fortunate. What's the point of bashing people over the head and throwing "white" in the mix?

So yeah, its trying to trigger a feeling of guilt. Its not about being poor anymore, your skin colour is gonna be the deciding factor.

Fuck that.

I don't know how you made Buzzfeed look completely reasonable, but EmpLemon you did it! This is one of the single cringiest videos I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm glad you've moved on from this "SJW BAD" content because it doesn't suit you even remotely.


This is a poor description of what White Privilege really is.  It's not about being given a special gift because you're white, It's about all of the challenges that non-white people are forced to deal with that white people never have to think about, (for example, non-white people are often heavily judged for their skin color when applying for jobs or apartments, while white people never even have to think about these things).  White privilege isn't about receiving added benefits from your skin color, it's about the things that white people don't have to think about and deal with that other people do.

Then why are we seeing groups such as Indian and Filipino Americans being the most successful. They didn't pull that money and success out of their asses. And according to the study, they had a more difficult situation with names yet here they are.

The practices such as Loan denial solely based on race has been over for over half a century. If you're being denied for a loan more often, it's probably something other than your race. Yes it did happen and we shouldn't forget about it, but we have to realize that it is not the issue today.


im a white male but i get a verry low score what now buzzfeed


king ghidorah. I think it’s an American thing


Yeah dawg this didn’t age well. Hope you’ve grown but for this you gotta hold this L

The video description describes you easily


I’ve never seen someone misunderstand the concept of privilege that hard

@zabB police police black ppl more then white ppl and resisting arrest doesn't mean you should get shot?????? also if someone hates a certain minority that you are a part of you target automatically thats how discrimination works. they arent being rightfully prosecuted mostly and even if they were it doesn't matter the person has already been hate crimed?

@Linus the buzzfeed video is pretty stupid, it’s buzzfeed. But he made some pretty stupid arguments. Yeah, don’t assume someone has a better or worse life because of their race. But minorities, particularly black people, face tons of problems purely based on their race. That’s just a fact, whether it’d be in the courts, police, generational wealth, being way more likely to be poor, ect. We should focus of why these minorities have it worse socio-economically and try to fix that through policies and stop trying to tell them just to fix it and stop focusing on it. People said that during every civil rights movement and they’re saying it now

@hppvitor there’s a lot of left wing content. But you’re blind if you can’t realize there are tons of people just like you who make reactionary content and make comments just like yours. It’s not as one sided as you think

He knows what privilege is, he's just saying we shouldn't generalize how "privileged" people are based on their race

@Seth Then go watch the rest of this website. By now the near entirety of the internet is catered toward you lefties yet you complain about the very few who aren't.

It’s a shame because I like some of this guy’s content but he really just started ranting without trying to understand any of what privilege is. Like, it IS a privilege to me that I’m less likely to be shot by police based on my skin color, or be assaulted because I’m male, or refused treatment because I’m not gay or trans.


Wow, you're part Chinese? You sound white.


2:00 - Why do you spend so much time on this? That's not the argument. Of course you couldn't have been born another race, that's the point. It's nothing to do with odds in that sense, it's the fact that you didn't choose your race, so it isn't really fair for society to treat you better as a result of it.
Privilege is having 1/4th the odds of someone exactly like you but with darker skin of going to jail for smoking pot. It's not like you did anything wrong or need to be punished, it's like if you buy a TV, and the color is off, you adjust it. If there's too much red, you're not punishing the red light by adjusting the knob so it's balanced.

3:15 - "You're saying I should feel sorry for Michael Jordan because he's black?"
Nobody is saying that. That's another strawman. Do you seriously think anyone would argue that?

4:00 - Again, another strawman. Non-white people don't need to be pitied, they need a level playing field.

4:30 - Tipping. If you've ever had black friends who've worked as waiters, you should know this.
Also, not saying I have a large enough sample size to write a fuckin paper or anything, but I've known enough people who have been pulled over for speeding to know there is a huuge difference in the experience largely depending on your skin color. Obviously it also depends on the cop.

This was a little disappointing. It almost sounded like you were trying not to understand.

As for the change in your channel's direction, I loved your poops, but it's probably a good idea.

Try again racebaiter. Quit pushing a false narrative. He's questioning the backwards logic. These "strawmen" are examples that are completely accurate to the absurd claims and agenda of Buzzfeed, you clearly are unaware of all the nonsense they push. I have black friends that worked as waiters, they made the same as everyone else... and on the other hand I have a black friend who has never left a tip at a restaurant in 30 years. How is the playing field not equal? Its more equal than ever and for every "unequal" opportunity there is one that's more than "equal" such as EOP and their quotas for hiring and there's even college scholarships for simply being black and on and on and on. What do cops have to do with race? In urban areas where there is a large black population that is more susceptible to racial profiling, brutality, etc. there is also far more cops who are also minorities. The problem with racism today is people like you pushing false narratives and being pitiful just like Emp talked about, you're as bad as Buzzfeed. Grow up and be thankful you live in a country where you aren't imprisoned for your sexuality or enslaved, now that's unfair. You and all the other whiny racebaiters are a disgrace to every impoverished, enslaved and abused person who is actually a victim in some war and poverty stricken country, grow up, be thankful for what you have, and if you don't like it change it

+A Well the thing lemon was upset about was people treating each other differently based on race from the other side of the spectrum. Racial bias is one end, like you mention, and then idea of privilege - where 'more fortunate' ppl who 'win the genetic lottery' are so privileged and therefore cannot understand or are not qualified to talk about other people's issues-that's the bullshit part. These people that wish to raise awareness only further divide each other by class and distinction and privilege. like it was said above-just live life, suck it up and treat everyone based on character. Privilege is now thrown around to shame others, often white males, or as an excuse for not applying one's self

@I Need Big Drink I've addressed all of them. Your response doesn't counter my argument. It counters someone else's argument, maybe. No idea whose, though. E.g.:

"why would you support an idea that gives different merit or value to people's opinions because of their origins"
I wouldn't. How is that relevant?

"The current state of the world is far from equality"
Exactly.
"...believing in something like this "
...like what? You basically just agreed with me - the world is far from equal. Exactly.

"Also, people have struggles no matter who they are"
Well of course. Some of those struggles, however, are man-made, and can theoretically be solved or at least countered.

"No one should be shamed for their position in society or the way they were born, just like nobody should be pitied or given a break because of their given situation"
Exactly my point!!
But that's what happens though. That's what white privilege is - people being given a break because of their situation! It doesn't happen all the time, it's not nearly as bad as it was 50 years ago, but it still happens

+AndroidDoctorr reply to the responses that actually counter your argument.

"why is race shoved down my throat so often"<br>Why do you think it's being shoved down your throat?

"why is race shoved down my throat so often"
Why do you think it's being shoved down your throat?

+AndroidDoctorr If I , a young person , wants to not be racist then why is race shoved down my throat so often?  Won't that led me to dislike others because they are given an advantage by law over me because some people don't like them?

+AndroidDoctorr Also, people have struggles no matter who they are. Every economic class has their own unique problems, and varying complexity. No one should be shamed for their position in society or the way they were born, just like nobody should be pitied or given a break because of their given situation.

+AndroidDoctorr 'privilege' is not a true progressive idea. If your aim is to further equality in society why would you support an idea that gives different merit or value to people's opinions because of their origins? The current state of the world is far from equality but believing in something like this does nothing to address the problem, only causes more conflict.

+AndroidDoctorr it does make sense, I just don't like the way in which we handle this problem.

Let me put it this way -
Let's say applications of "PC-ness" like affirmative action are racist. I actually agree that in a sense they are.
But it's not a two-wrongs-don't-make-a-right situation, a) because that's just a saying, not a law of thermodynamics, so it isn't necessarily true, I mean surgery is technically stabbing someone with a knife, but anyways b) it's more like this:
You wouldn't turn your steering wheel if you're on a straight road... unless the wheel is already turned, and you're veering off the road. Then turning the wheel is ok, because it's correcting the rotation that was already there.
Theoretically, you're right, we should be holding the wheel straight, but that doesn't work. The car drifts slightly to one side if we hold the wheel straight.
Does that analogy make sense?

+ภ๏t 229_ђคzคг๔ That's true. Regardless of who you are, there is always going to be someone who will mock you for who you are.

+ภ๏t 229_ђคzคг๔ being* I am typing on a phone.

+AndroidDoctorr I have dealed with racism. People have called me trash and made fun of my name calling me saltine craker because I am white. Just because I may have not been through it doesn't mean I have to understand it. It's alot like relegion people still believe in God regaurdless of it actually bring seen.

+AndroidDoctorr And when people are treated differently, it is our jobs as people to point it out and tell those people off.

@gibsterhipster 88 And if everyone could be treated equally, that would be really really nice. But that doesn't happen. People are treated differently based on how they look, that's just a fact of human nature.

+AndroidDoctorr I think what he's saying is that the only way to get everyone equal is to treat everyone equally.

@ภ๏t 229_ђคzคг๔ "Someones skin color or sex doesn't matter to people who actually accept everyone as actual EQUALS"
You're almost correct.
it SHOULDN'T matter, but unfortunately it does. Unconscious bias is unconscious, unless you become aware of it. Duh.

"Sense I come from a middle class family and I am a straight white male probably doesn't let me have an opinion on the matter because I have a low privelage score."
Your opinion on racism is like my opinion on repairing electrical transformers. I have no idea how they work, because I've never had to deal with them. If you've never had to deal with racism, you're allowed to give your opinion, but I don't have to take it seriously.
What you can do, however, is listen to people who DO experience it.

"My point is treating someone differently based on their skin color or sex just adds to the problem"
That's like saying "If some crops don't get enough water, treating them differently by giving them more water doesn't make things equal"
Or
"If the TV color is way too red, you don't solve the problem by adjusting the color knob"
Yes you do!!!

+AndroidDoctorr I like how most social justice points are supposed to be all about equallity when that's the last thing checking your previllage does. Someones skin color or sex doesn't matter to people who actually accept everyone as actual EQUALS. No one person has the right to not ask someone a question based on their skin color or sex, but no they've had it worse so they need more respect than someone else. I should know this better than anyone here because my zodiac sign is Libra. Excuse me while I check how privlaged I am. Sense I come from a middle class family and I am a straight white male probably doesn't let me have an opinion on the matter because I have a low privelage score. My point is treating someone differently based on their skin color or sex just adds to the problem if we are trying to be equals. Think of it as if you were dealing with someone how has autism. You don't want to offend them by treating them differently from anyone else. I would know because my friends bro has autism. I treat him as if he was my brother. Nothing else, to me he is just my little brother.

@gibsterhipster 88 I know. How is it relevant to what I was saying? I didn't say you should expect to be tipped every time.

+AndroidDoctorr I was referring to you're last point (4:30)

@gibsterhipster 88 Of course not. I don't think anyone does. I don't see how that's relevant.

I mean, if you're a waiter, you can't expect to be tipped every time you serve a customer.

"Salary was not brought up as an argument. Let alone being the deciding factor for your skin"
He said he doesn't get why those jobs are relevant to the questionnaire.

""I have a black friend thus I understand" meme."
Yeah, sure, if you can't beat someone's actual argument, just pretend it's something else

That's like saying "I don't get it, therefore there is nothing to get"<br>If you don't understand how magnets work, that doesn't mean magnetism doesn't exist.

That's like saying "I don't get it, therefore there is nothing to get"

I am a straight white male. Cuff me Papa Smurf for I have sinned. Looks like I'm heading rooooiiight tooo the noose!

What is there to understand? I think the point is that "privilege" really doesn't make that much sense.

Tipping has nothing to do with the question that was presented in that questioniare. Salary was not brought up as an argument. Let alone being the deciding factor for your skin. lol keep making up shit. Love how you brought up the "I have a black friend thus I understand" meme.


why did this video show up under NBA Topic?


What's that song that played during the FUCKING MAO segment? I've heard it in a filthy frank video but i can't seem to find it anywhere, help pls. (6:48)


Your newer videos are so good! These older ones I can't really blame you for though lol. I am so glad I don't have any videos out there of my bitchy, smug, ill-formed worldview from my early 20s

@Hi Darling When I think of people who like anime, I don't think of people of color (despite the fact that they are usually the most passionate about it), I think of white people who are not only not the target audience, but also misinterpret and over sexualize the characters as the tradition of doing so goes, with "foreign others"; men emasculated, and women fetishized.

Saying that Google is a "liberal" company is just saying that it appeals to the masses rather than being overtly racist, homophobic, sexist, transphobic, etc (which it very much is, covertly, hidden behind algorithms and without tracking the data, therefore without any proof available. This isn't to say that more overtly fascist content isn't likewise concealed by the algorithm, but as history has shown time and time again, the moderate will always bend to the fascist (to their own and everyone's detriment) rather than to concede to the demands of the working class and other more marginalized groups, which will benefit the masses, yet at the cost of the precious hierarchy the moderate enjoys being near the top of).

I wasn't talking about who invented movies in the sense of who patented it (as the answer will always be, "whoever had the money and connections to do so first"; source: Benjamin Franklin, notably racist against the Irish and Germans alike, stealing the credit for numerous inventions by taking it to the bank first), but rather who showed that movies as a medium were a viable art form.

As far as "these events happened 100 years ago", that's true, but it's also literally happening right now, and has been this entire time. The easiest example is the gentrification of the "blaccent", or African American Vernacular English (AAVE), or Ebonics.

Nothing* Black people (or indeed any person of color) originates is beneficial to them and is instead detrimental in the fact that a Black person with acrylics or box braids or who doesn't speak "proper" English will literally risk their job and therefore their livelihood just to express themselves in a way that they themselves created, while white celebrities are praised for tanning their skin, getting more "racially ambiguous" features through plastic surgery, speaking in AAVE, wearing fashion that Black people originated (including acrylic nails), wearing box braids and indigenous headdresses, etc, etc. Elvis Presley, Ariana Grande, the Jenners, Billie Eilish, the list goes on and on of white people appropriating Black art forms for their own profit.

*"Never say never", my point is that this is the rule, and anything else is a notable exception to this rule and should be further looked into; for example, predatory record companies taking credit for Black artists' work while forcing them to create art through their contracts with the label (Doja Cat would be a recent example; which isn't to say this only affects Black creators, Taylor Swift also recently bought the rights to her own music; I could go on about how capitalism is terrible for art, but I digress).

If the length of this comment hasn't made it clear already, this has an incredible amount of nuance to it, and I highly encourage you to do your own research and educate yourself about this by listening to Black and otherwise marginalized voices

Edit: About what you said about rap… I'm just gonna link a video because white people such as Mack Miller and Eminem consistently win awards for their mediocre (in comparison) rap over other more qualified artists, simply because of the fact that their skin has a lower melanin content: https://youtu.be/V7prxvu_GiQ (and to save you from wasting time and get to the point, specifically 8:16)

@Lyra Black Yeah, you're talking about events that happened literally 100 years ago with the movies example. Of course back then when racism was actually still the norm, people didn't want to support an black-majority medium.

However, things are kinda different now and I doubt we'll get another artform created by black people that nobody watches until white people take over. Hell, with anime as an example, it wasn't really taken seriously until black people really showed their love for it. When it was japanese people, it stayed in japan. When white people and other races besides black started messing with it, it stayed a nerdy little niche for a decade.

Actually, rap music is typically said to have been popularized by white people despite being black-created... however how true is that really? Vanilla Ice had the first #1 rap hit I believe, but everyone saw him as a fake and a regrettable mistake and white rappers were seen with this horrible stigma until Eminem and Mack Miller came along. It wasn't until Snoop Dogg and Gangsta's Paradise that rap really exploded and was seen as legitimate.

Also, the funny thing about movies is I looked up who was credited with inventing it and according to Google (a very liberal company), it was a french-man named Louis Le Prince.

@Hi Darling Black and otherwise marginalized people have literally pioneered nearly every form of popular media to date, only to be excluded from the very art forms they created once those forms became "mainstream". Movies as an art medium weren't taken seriously until white (using the historical definition of whiteness here, not just the current definition) men brought it into the public view.

It's entirely different for a person with more privilege to punch down at a more marginalized person than it is for a marginalized person to throw off their historical oppressors. As I said in a previous reply to you, ignorance is a key facet to privilege, so I understand that you are probably unaware of the struggles of marginalized peoples throughout history, including Black struggles in the United States. As a person who passes as a straight cis white able bodied woman myself, I am constantly finding out how much I don't know about the struggles more marginalized people face, and how every single person's intersectionalities overlap to produce vastly different perspectives (some people take the side of their oppressors, some people actively beat them back, some don't have the energy to expend at all for such things).

It's incredibly interesting and enlightening to view this kind of thing through a dialectical materialistic approach and see exactly what material conditions produce which outcomes. Ignorance really is nothing to be ashamed of; there's so much to learn and unlearn, and it's a lifelong process

@Lyra Black ...of course you'd like affirmative action. It's literally a form of racial discrimination, but I guess that doesn't matter when the race is "marginalized" (ya know, a marginalized race that's in every advertisement, corporations treat better than others, and pioneered the most popular musical genre around right now).

@Hi Darling There's no quick fix to systemic problems. Affirmative action is a starting point, but there's still tons of problems to address

@Lyra Black Okay.... well in that case, how do you feel about affirmative action?

@Hi Darling Because privilege exists and it's nothing to be ashamed of, but it definitely is something you should be aware of if you don't want to hurt anyone unintentionally by playing into systemic inequalities. A huge component of privilege is ignorance towards the fact that you even have privilege to begin with. Again, ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of, but it is something you should confront if you're aware of it, if you don't want to do anything unintentionally


I hate what buzzfeed has done with commodification and oversimplification of some pretty complex and nuanced topics like privilege theory. This was something I studied in college, and done right, it IS a great framework for understanding how circumstances throughout america differ and effect each of us at many levels.

but presented out of full context, it DOES sound stupid. Pop media takes on it are always too shallow and leave people with logical holes that are frustrating to them. The worst part is those logical holes ARE filled in my opinion by the full and in-depth theory. But bastardized buzzfeed takes on it just leave out too much.

For example, any privilege is meant to be analyzed as a small independent facet of a persons entire life. Race in analyzed on its own axis, gender on its own, class and income on ifs own as well.

If you analyze being white, we’re only saying the person is privileged in terms of race alone and protected from certain cruelties that black people are targeted for. That’s it though. It doesn’t mean you have gender privilege, or money privilege. It certainly doesn’t mean you have wealth or any easy life. It just means, on top of anything else good or bad, you aren’t dealing with the hatred of black people that still manifests in our society today.

When you start to look at how many elements of a persons life are actually pretty privileged, and how many are stacked against them, you get a better more sympathetic picture of what they’re dealing with, for what you yourself are dealing with, and some perspective on stuff that you’re lucky to have, each in their own right.
It comes from a scholarly essay which is pretty intellectually and historically sound. It’s a huge problem how dumbed down this concept has been presented to mass audiences, because skeptics think it’s all bullshit, and they’re kinda right, because the simple version does not hold water. But really, they’re often not shown the full theory, which holds water quite well in my opinion. And has less drastic conclusions than “how privileged are you” and more nuanced reflections that help you understand others a little better and how little things stacked against someone can build up to a anyone’s breaking point. https://vetvoicenational.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/exploringinvisibleknapsack.pdf

It is like winning the birth lottery, because not everyone is fortunate enough to have the chance to be born into a wealthy family or a middle class family. Does genetic law make Donald Trump's kids any less fortunate to have been born into a billionaire's family and having the resources to do practically anything they want whereas children in working class families, well, just have less priviledges? You could've skipped the video.


Privilege is absolutely a real sociological concept. Problem is, people exaggerated and misrepresented it to such a point that they attacked individuals rather than the systemic problems which the term was meant to address.

Only national privilege matters enough to even be a topic worth discussing tbh. (The country in which you are born/raised)


you don't get privileged if you aren't above the age of at least 23


Around 2:30 you jokingly ask if you should check your "human" privilege. You're not a bee. You're not going through their problems. Go ahead and make fun of me, but tell me I'm wrong.

@Boreo yup 6 months later and he still aged poorly

@starwarsfreak999 perhaps it was you who didn't age well. Just an idea

Bruh, every joke misses the point. This video aged poorly. You're triggering my delicate sensibilities.


Idk man, I think you're splitting hairs on a topic that most of the people who voted for Trump refuse to believe


While his points aren't exactly wrong, he does act like "just make your situation better" is just as easy or hard for everyone. That's what privilege is. Some people don't get hired or accepted to college because they have a black-sounding name. Just because it shouldn't happen, and you don't do it, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I'm hoping that someone so usually well informed as EmpLemon has learned better since this video.

He never said it was easy or the same for everyone. His point was that instead of wallowing in shame you actually hold yourself accountable and make something meaningful in your life regardless of the circumstances of your birth. Not actively seeking to have people accept you in every facet of life. The less you expect from others, the less likely you are to be disappointed.

"Quoting someone who said something that flows nicely off the tongue proves you are right on Youtube" ~George Washington~

Seriously though, Idk who is telling you to dislike yourself because you have privilege, but the reality is that whether or not your realize it, you in fact did.

Should you hate yourself because of it? No, but the reason people are telling you this (If they even actually are and you didn't just read it from someone stupid on the left) is because you are making claims that you got to where you were without any sort systematic oppression built into the culture you grew up in; then you go around saying things like "I got where I am solely because of my hardwork and me and my dad never had any help, we just did it all by ourselves!"

Really dude, grow up, not a single person on earth can claim they haven't had some help from outside resource; so either you don't understand the actual argument that is being made, or you are distorting your opponents arguments in an attempt to discredit them. I seriously hope it's the former, because based on the few things you described in this video, I can point out how your father was able to find a job in a culture that did not despise his existence, where as had he been gay, black, trans, or any other marginalized group he would have had a much more difficult time and might not have had the capacity to ensure you had a better existence.

Are there some people who manage to overcome even more diversity? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean that the deck wasn't more stacked against them from the start.

EmpLemon's content has gotten better. Thank christ the anti-SJW era is mostly over.

Is the OP implying that the SJW phase, by proxy, is also almost over? Because most "anti-SJWs" are simply people who've had a gut-full of being lectured and preached to.

@Help! I am stuck on this Man's head!!  NO


I'm legit autistic. I'm 38. in the 90s autistic kids were very mistreated.

Are you saying the reason I am poor and under-educated and not successful is because I didn't work as hard as the person who wasn't born with a neurological disorder and it has nothing to do with my birth defect?

Are you saying the THOUSANDS of kids stuck in the foster system and either run away or age out without an education any money family or self worth just need to work harder?

Are you saying babies addicted to crack just need to work hard and they can be billionaires?

You mean, I don't need a "small loan" of $1,000,000 from my father to start a business like Trump had?
Are you honestly saying Trump born into a billion dollar empire didn't help him at all? Just took at Trump JR and tell me that make just worked hard for what he has and his success had NOTHING to do with being Donald Trump JR!

The idea that rich people are rich because they work harder has been 100% disproved over and over again! How hard you work has nothing to do with how much money you have or your place in economical society and you fucking know it!

You know DAMNIT WELL even YOU didn't have the same options and privileges and opportunities Trump had or even GW Bush had! You are implying that everyone starts at the same level physically mentally socially and financially and only poor choices make the difference and you are fucking RETARDED for this idea!

I'm "high functioning" but I am extremely limited, was it just my poor choices that landed me where I am now?

Some people ARE born into a better life and with going for them than others, if you can't admit this fact you lose every argument 100%

IF you think all people start at the same level in life you are fucking blind and stupid!

I sure bet your daddy isn't rich and isn't a millionaire and THAT is why you do youtube!

My trash man works harder than ANY CEO of a tobacco company but the trash collector will NEVER be a millionaire doing that job, but we NEED someone doing that job. So someone has to go without success so others can be lazy and have someone ELSE take out their trash!

You will NEVER be a millionaire from hard work, doesn't happen. Even Steve Jobs bought other people's ideas and branded them as his own to be successful!

You're right about working hard not being the key, it's working smart..... or specifically, working smarter and possibly backstabbing others to get ahead.

At some point though, you're only hurting yourself by not taking responsibility for your own life. Being autistic can be a challenge, but it's not impossible to overcome or overcome psychological trauma from abuse and mistreatment. Gordon Ramsay's dad legit beat the shit out of him and he still got successful. I think that one song by a former Linkin Park Member nailed it: "10% Luck, 20% Skill, 15% concentrated power of will"


buzzfeed says all races are equal then say your privileged if your white or straight or something else


I forgot EmpLemon had an edgy right wing phase too. Sad

@Masked_Gopnik I'm not whining. I just said it's strange to look back at an era when these views were so mainstream

Ok and what’s your point about my original comment?

@Masked_Gopnik Man I’m glad I’m not on that shitty site anyomore


Buzzfeed stupid but like also privilege real


Hey that hello darkness my old friend with the black guy crying face and trumpet...cant find it, need to know it


I mean, I can't blame em buzzfeed haters, its so obvious why buzzfeed is so fucking bad

Kinda funny that as a biracial person (white dad, black mother) I never saw privilege or was never discriminated against (saw a lil racism tho). Both grew up poor. Now I’ve grown up on a weird financial rollercoaster, but never was my dad ever privileged because of his race or gender, and neither was my mom.


Its not so polerized. All white males dont have it easy, but they can exercise wd40 in some cases... While others rust out... But we all have that advantage in our own ways. The idea of who controls what who built becomes the issue when you take part of things you didnt build. Laying bricks dont equate to owning a building.  the workers demand shelter they didn't check the contract. What on earth am i saying? Its a white males world. Everyone who is in search for power is doing their best white male impression. They didn't reap the benefits. So now they want to tax those who benefited... But the problem is. Normies are normies even if its white guy mode. And we all know how out of it normies are. Its too early to make logical statements... Lol hope reading this is as fun as it was not paying attention to what i was saying


Buzzfeed is garbage. I always look for AP stamp and if it is someones personal view vs actual research<------this one this one is rare now a days.


I never use the trending tab. Mostly garbage


Hmm yes today I will discard the rational claim that people being born into wealthier and more prosperous households tend to succeed in life over others who struggle to live paycheck to paycheck because a bad news site did a stupid video misunderstanding the actual arguement.


Im sorry but identify as an amish. Dont ask how im online


Sorry to dislike but I was the 666 dislike


I wonder if emp still holds these opinions 5 years later bc he for sure sounds like a very pretentious white suburban teenager who tries to use “logic” to rant about “privilege”, but looking at these comments I’m probably not gonna be liked with this opinion

Ngl, if his logic is debatable, your "logic" is hardly even perceivable.  You're basically saying he should stfu cause he's a white suburban teenager (which he's asian btw).

This type of "anti-SJW" video is way over done.  Even back in 2016, it was oversaturated and I don't think anyone could add anything new to the discussion.  I would not make another video like this again.  It's also really a non-issue anymore.  At least you made your video pretty damn hilarious

Buzzfeed is the normiest thing in existance


I watched this because I liked your video about monday night raw, and didn't like it as much, and I am aware it's 5 years old so you might not think identically now, but it made me think/write so here is the tl;dr.

I think the reason people talk about 'luckiness' with regard to the social group someone is born into but don't do so with regard to cows, bumblebees, or trees, is that 1) human society is a thing that doesn't extend into cows, bees, trees and 2) nations/societies of humans frequently attempt to represent themselves as meritocratic (with all members having a fair chance at success). It's capitalism's own "anything can happen in the royal rumble" but in parallel, there's more than a hint of pre-determination about winners.

Fair statistical arguments can be made to say that this meritocracy doesn't bear out in reality - salaries, rates of inprisonment, college admission, etc vary in a measurable way between groups, so it's relevant to talk about what characteristics (out of the control of the individual) potentially modify one's chance of success, why these patterns exist, and what can be done to make society more meritocratic if that is indeed a good goal.

I don't expect buzzfeed to express this in the best way with personal anecdotal stuff in a 6 minute video or in a clickbait quiz but that doesn't invalidate the whole concept.

There are going to be occasions where high level patterns don't apply for everyone in a group at all times. You mention Michael Jordan & Morgan Freeman are wealthy and perhaps now experience less opression than some other people - yes, but is their experience now typical of the group they are from? is this their experience throughout their lives? and do relatively uncommon exceptions to a general pattern completely undermine that pattern?

You reference having a good childhood because your parents worked hard, and you nail the missing piece in a lot of conversations about privelige and intersectionality - wealth. I'd say this was an important factor in determining your range of options as a person, the likely floor and ceiling on your success. So it's relevant to talk about when talking about privelige - it's probably not talked about as often as race, gender & sexuality because it's the toughest bit to talk about while preserving that ideal of meritocracy - you can't really create a wholly level playing field with wealth redistribution (to remove inhereted wealth/parental investment as a factor in someone's future success) without reducing the degree to which parents feel society is meritocratic (i.e. why should I be taxed more if i work hard, and why should i work hard if my kids get the same as everyone else?). Instead it's a balancing act politicians attempt while usually pleasing neither side particularly.

Identity politics between those other methods of categorising people (the ones the united colours of buzzfeed denote in the vid) does not have this problem so it's an easier direction for discussion to take (certainly a less thorny one for politicians). Even if we ignore wealth, it's still a mess to talk about how all the different characteristics define that floor and ceiling for one individual person (the whole intersectionality thing), there's just more going on than a 100 question quiz is going to summarise, but this is where statistics are more useful than anecdotes, where understanding the big picture matters way more than understanding our individual place in it does. If there are clear differences in outcomes for people when you generalise (rather than cherry picking examples) then there's probably still a problem worth thinking/talking about.

Could there be a bit of survival bias in your interpretation of success being completely individual & meritocratic for your parents - imagine some external circumstance had gone against your parents slightly worse in their lives - an injury, some beaurocratic problem when your mother moved, a market/industry they worked in crashing at the wrong time - you don't get the same childhood; do you still grow up to believe that the route to success is entirely down to the individual? Do you then decide that your parents failed you, or that 'luck' failed them? Reasonable to believe that others very like you, dealt a slightly different hand, take a very different opinion on this, again maybe the bigger picture means more than the individual example.

Framing the whole thing as being about things as abstract as 'pity' - seeking or wallowing in it - and 'shame' is a bit disengenous given that the impact of systemic racism/sexism can be much more tangible than those feelings. Nobody who wants to make a meaningful difference to systemic biases, to make society more meritocratic and make privilege matter less would ask you to feel ashamed, or for pity, when it's much more consequential that people recognise where imbalances exist that prevent society from being meritocratic, and do their part to change them when they can.

And I almost agree that a lot of this stuff is completely outside your control because none of us are that individually influential, but there are instances where we can probably do slightly better when dealing with people, there are cases where individually we might have disproportionate influence (hiring managers etc) and can do more, and for what slim progress it seems to offer most of the time, there's always voting/trying to sway politics at a local or party level. I wouldn't feel ashamed because I can't make the world substantially better, I wouldn't dwell on pitying the people it's not completely fair to currently, but I would try and do my bit where I can.

I watched this because I liked your video about monday night raw, and didn't like it as much, and I am aware it's 5 years old so you might not think identically now, but it made me think/write so here is the tl;dr.

I think the reason people talk about 'luckiness' with regard to the social group someone is born into but don't do so with regard to cows, bumblebees, or trees, is that 1) human society is a thing that doesn't extend into cows, bees, trees and 2) nations/societies of humans frequently attempt to represent themselves as meritocratic (with all members having a fair chance at success). It's capitalism's own "anything can happen in the royal rumble" but in parallel, there's more than a hint of pre-determination about winners.

Fair statistical arguments can be made to say that this meritocracy doesn't bear out in reality - salaries, rates of inprisonment, college admission, etc vary in a measurable way between groups, so it's relevant to talk about what characteristics (out of the control of the individual) potentially modify one's chance of success, why these patterns exist, and what can be done to make society more meritocratic if that is indeed a good goal.

I don't expect buzzfeed to express this in the best way with personal anecdotal stuff in a 6 minute video or in a clickbait quiz but that doesn't invalidate the whole concept.

There are going to be occasions where high level patterns don't apply for everyone in a group at all times. You mention Michael Jordan & Morgan Freeman are wealthy and perhaps now experience less opression than some other people - yes, but is their experience now typical of the group they are from? is this their experience throughout their lives? and do relatively uncommon exceptions to a general pattern completely undermine that pattern?

You reference having a good childhood because your parents worked hard, and you nail the missing piece in a lot of conversations about privelige and intersectionality - wealth. I'd say this was an important factor in determining your range of options as a person, the likely floor and ceiling on your success. So it's relevant to talk about when talking about privelige - it's probably not talked about as often as race, gender & sexuality because it's the toughest bit to talk about while preserving that ideal of meritocracy - you can't really create a wholly level playing field with wealth redistribution (to remove inhereted wealth/parental investment as a factor in someone's future success) without reducing the degree to which parents feel society is meritocratic (i.e. why should I be taxed more if i work hard, and why should i work hard if my kids get the same as everyone else?). Instead it's a balancing act politicians attempt while usually pleasing neither side particularly.

Identity politics between those other methods of categorising people (the ones the united colours of buzzfeed denote in the vid) does not have this problem so it's an easier direction for discussion to take (certainly a less thorny one for politicians). Even if we ignore wealth, it's still a mess to talk about how *all* the different characteristics define that floor and ceiling for one individual person (the whole intersectionality thing), there's just more going on than a 100 question quiz is going to summarise, but this is where statistics are more useful than anecdotes, where understanding the big picture matters way more than understanding our individual place in it does. If there are clear differences in outcomes for people when you generalise (rather than cherry picking examples) then there's probably still a problem worth thinking/talking about.

I'd say most of your points are fair. Yes, some things are out of your control in life, beyond identity and wealth as well (I.E having loving parents), and yes it is not absurd to say something like "If you are black, you most likely will have it harder than most whites in specific situations," but it is entirely another thing to say "Because you are a minority,  you are guaranteed to have it harder than almost all/all nonminorities in most/all situations and context". Yes, there are things you can't help, but you also have to work hard, try to stay optimistic, and be your own best friend. That's the best way to try to have a happy and productive life, even if you fail and can't get there, you can still at least live decently most of the time, but if you don't try, then you will never get anywhere and can't blame anyone but yourself.


man, i like your newer content, but I disagree with this video. like I feel is the point of privilege is that having an advantage over somebody else because of things like gender, sexual orientation, race, class, and ability.. being privileged is not having to deal with having to deal with questioning if a officer is questioning you because of your race, be sexually harassed, be discriminated against, around a medical condition you have to center change your life about, or having to work in a gas station they're whole life to get by. its not someone's fault to be born with the advantages of not having to deal with those things, and you shouldn't feel guilty for it. However, people should acknowledge how they have the advantage of not having to deal with those things. Basically i am just trying to say that being privileged is having a benefit over someone else by as i have said, not having to deal with and be a victim of racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, classism, ableism. Yes, they can still achieve things, however it can be harder because of factors outside of they're control. Privilege is not dealing with those factors that are out of someone's control. i am still kinda formulating my thoughts about what i've been talking about , but hopefully whatever stuff I write at least kind of makes sense.

Exactly! Finally this video and all the top comments are so upsetting


Snowflake: Check your privilege. <br>Me: No.

Snowflake: Check your privilege.
Me: No.


what you seemed to not notice is theyre saying we should feel sorry for black people just because theyre black...


How triggered were you to make this damn video? lol


Summer camp is meant for poor kids... wtf.


I Like learning. but like in idiocracy I Like money


I mean, buzzfeed is literally garbage. But objectively your race takes are wrong here, you don't get it my guy

@PR Jackal So saying "you shouldn't assume my privilege and struggles in life based on my skin color" is a bad race take?? That shouldn't even be controversial, much less "red pill propaganda". You sound exactly like the people you're lumping this guy with

@Linus that comment doesn't make sense. Were criticizing his take and saying that its unfounded. There's nothing political about call out a bad take: That itself is based on political leanings from the right, that being said its so separated from everyone else comments that it has no bearing here.

@Linus his race takes are absolute garbage

Ya'll are making this political, he's literally just criticizing generalization of races and the assumption that someone is automatically privileged because of their race

Yeah, I hate seeing youtubers who somehow got into the edgy-redpill propaganda


I love Emplemon but this isn’t it. Nobody is telling you to feel bad for Michael Jordan. But recognize the problem when racist housing policies that lasted until the late 60s caused the net worth of white families to be 10x more than black families. Not every black person doesn’t have privilege, not every white person does have privilege. But this country especially has a history of trying to make it that way so respect that


Reason number 1,000,000,000,000 why I don't like Buzzfeed.


You know people can make good decisions and still not make rent, right?


Check this out: An ex girlfriend of mine would always say I'm crazy privileged because I'm a guy and white. *However*, she's been working jobs paying much higher salaries than me, and ALMOST ALL of my bosses at work have been women.
Are women still discriminated against? Probably. Does that mean being a white male is some magical gift that guarantees wealth and success? FUCK no! And I see enumerable women Online suggesting that's not possible.
...as a side note, I've been single for like 6 months now, and it's GREAT! I may never have another relationship again!
I truly used to be in long-term relationships out of insecurity; feeling like I was unattractive solely due to not having a reliable sex partner. Now I'm putting my own needs ahead of relationships with the opposite sex, and it is AWESOME. Highly recommend it. And bonus; I don't need to worry about getting into a huge argument because I refuse to go sleep on the couch when the girl decides she's gonna stay pissed at me all night.


Some of the takes on this video are awful, I never liked Buzzfeed, but the counter points just entirely miss the mark. For example he says that a rich person like Michael Jordan is priviliged because he's rich, and his race is unrelated, but forgets about systematic opression and racism in general. Yeah, of course some black people will be successful like him, but the amount of opportunities they get in America relative to white people, in general, is much lower. You could make the same argument for any other topic, it's called cherry picking. He also keeps pointing out that gender has nothing to do with privilege, even though women get much lower wages than men, working the exact same job with the exact same status. I'm not saying white males should burden themselves with the responsibility of repaying every person in the world that has ever been opressed, that's bullshit buzzfeed shoves down your mouth. My point is, we should at the very least aknowledge that variables like race and gender can influence your life in meaningful ways, good and bad, even thougn those things are completely out of your control.

Amazing that you bring up racism and are surprised a man is successful because he's black.

Fair enough, but remember this was made back when Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder started to get big, and Buzzfeed, Vox, and other news articles started to attract attention with their awful, pathetic takes, so Ben and Steven seemed like rational, intelligent people in comparison, and although most now have realized all they did was take the worst arguments from the most smoothed brained people they debated with so all they had to do was have basic competence and be calm to win.

Also, this is a bit nit-picky, but your wage comment was very generalized and vague. Are women paid less on average? Yes. But is that true in all areas at all levels for each female worker? No. Some of the wage gap can be connected to sexism and frat-boy culture, but it also has many more variables, like men and women on average choose different types of jobs, women on average work fewer hours in some fields, etc. Like most problems, it's a complicated issue that involves "privilege" but "privilege" is only one factor, and Buzzfeed saying it can only be the "Patriarchy" is oversimplifying the issue and ultimately just counterproductive and divisive.


Wait wat you are half chinese unsubscribing


EMPLEMON hear me out:<br>all that privelige implies is that your consciousness is fortunate for having a white ethnicity or born in the middle class because you can't choose whether you are born from a white or black, or poor or rich family. Not everybody has the same opportunities because workplaces, realtors, etc. inherently choose certain types of people. This is something you have no control over. It's not an excuse or a "race card" or whatever, it just means a societal system favors certain traits.

Is this really the direction you are heading with your channel? That is some YTP talent wasted for mindless rant videos...

+ZwartLiska news flash, he is still doing ytps so your comments are even more invalid

I thought he did a pretty good job at this. He was genuinely interested in making a response to Buzzfeed's ludicrous claims, and it showed. I found his commentary to be informative, well written, and very funny. Just just opinion, though...

He still makes YTPs, though. He just also makes these other kinds of videos as well. It's his channel after all, he can do what he wants with it.

+Yami6692 My video history has nothing to do with what I like to watch and what not.<br>There's enough people on YouTube making videos about giving their opinions and ranting over literally every tiny thing, putting people in categories in the process. It's despicable at best.

+Yami6692 My video history has nothing to do with what I like to watch and what not.
There's enough people on YouTube making videos about giving their opinions and ranting over literally every tiny thing, putting people in categories in the process. It's despicable at best.

You complain about someone giving their opinion, in a creative manner too, while you make shitty TF2 jump stunt videos, surely this man knows about quality.

@Tirgo You can reply without throwing a fit. Everything indicates he is heading this way, so I am out.

+ภ๏t 229_ђคzคг๔ Does not negate the fact that this new video style does not interest me in the slightest. This ranting (complaining) trend on YouTube is dreadful. And before you point it out, don't worry, I will be off this channel after my comment loses its popularity.

Omg did you even watch the video? A lot of stuff in there was edited and was hilarious.

Actually love this style.  Entertaining, yet points out a very relevant "issue" in society today.

+Nexon Bomber I bet you like to use that word because Emp does it too, but all I'm saying is that I find it a shame that he is heading in this direction, no longer expanding his skills as a YTP maker, but instead become another fish in the rant-sea.

Agreed but hey plenty more YTPers out there. I think he might be trying to copy Bible Reloaded and Armoured Skeptic.


God I fucking hope so, at least leafy videos have character


The problem with videos like this, is that the only people watching them already agree with them.  People who disagree can always surround themselves with information already matching their beliefs.  Confirmation bias, in some sense.


Personally I like the new content you're putting out, also, I love how you infused YTP memes to keep the rant from being dull. It keeps the video interesting and entertaining while still keeping the message of the video: that buzzfeed is absolute cancer. TBH I give this new theme a 10/10


Glad you're trying new things, I really enjoyed this video. Hope good things come to this channel


Hey, Emp, long-time fan here. As much as I love YTPs, I fully support the direction your channel is going and hope that your other fans feel the same. It's not even like your content is shifting too drastically. You're basically pooping your own rant, which I found hysterical (it kind of reminds me of a less fiery version of Naked Ape's content). Keep doing what makes you happy, and I hope you continue mocking the regressives.


Amazing man and straight on thank you for posting I'm so tired of seeing this privilege bs


You're one of the best YouTube Poopers I have found, and even though you're turning to the rant side of Dank I'll follow you.


You said it dude! Great vid. Let's see how well those PC jerks survive in a world where identity does not matter.


This is easily one of your funniest videos. I subscribed to you shortly after you released the Uncredibles, and I never once considered unsubscribing. Honestly, your new fast paced uploads have made me enjoy this channel even more, and I really hope you keep doing videos like this, cause this was incredible.


Thank yo u so so much for making this video. I am having to fight in court with my dad against a crazy lady who is using all of the, for lack of better words, "Tumbler Feminists" who are just engulfed with anger and irrational hatred towards all men. I'm 1/4 black and my dads half black! It doesn't matter what your race is, these people hate you no matter what! I am loosing my sister to these fucked up people, have had my life threatened, and police officers break into my house with semi-auto firearms and steal most of my things. Keep speaking up!


This has been the most insightful video on this topic I have ever seen honestly.  This is a very good video Emp!  Keep em coming!


this is a great video emp lem, I was born to a broken drug torn family that moved up a little bit and fell to divorce and now it is at good standing and I am an extremely well regarded child, I'm smart and disciplined and I'm apart of my areas racial majority, Hispanic, this is a good video because it points out that brown doesn't automatically mean down


1600s: "That person is black so lets make rash assumptions about their personality and life."

2016: "That person is white so lets make rash assumptions about their personality and life"


I fucking love you EmpLemon. Keep preaching to the logical choir.


I actually thought this was going to be terrible but was actually very entertaining with all the clips in there, huzzah! I don't think my minimum wage white male self gets any privilege except having a damn job.


I have a whole new respect for you and your channel


OMG, HE LOST SOO MANY SUBS!!! but that doesnt really matter... as long as he loves what hes doing! Keep it up dude and always do what you love!


Finally, a reaction video worth watching for once.


I wouldn't expect you of all people to be reasonable... but you are. This vid won you back a subscriber, Lemon.


I like this new, more mature content, but still has some memes mixed in. Masterfully done.


You can have my privilege when you pry it from my cold, dead, hands.


I really like these kinds of videos. Keep it up!


Hilarious. I really look forward to you making more videos like this.


make more of these, i like your view on the topic.<br>also, the editing 11/9 "it was ok"

make more of these, i like your view on the topic.
also, the editing 11/9 "it was ok"


Damn, and I thought the Fine Bros.'s decision to trademark the word "react" was stupid...


wow. this video wasnt a poop I expected. but man I got to say, it couldnt have been more true or better. definetly one of my fav vids


6:49 Gotta love your input, there. Hilarious and spot on.


Yay a comedian I like affirmed my opinion!

This moment while interesting and mildly self concerning is nonetheless a happy one.

Rule dem lemons boi.
Rule dem.


I actually enjoyed the video and love the wrestling memes. Keep up the good work man


Yeah... Pretty much all of buzzfeeds videos/articles are about as idiotic as the one in this video. Proceed with caution when entering the pit of idiots. That aside, it was cool to see a different type of video from you. Keep up the good work!


i would love to see more vids like emp. pretty cool


Man, I'm so privileged because of my genes making me an Apache attack helicopter (<3 much love Emp Lem, preach bby preach)


The "Shrek your privilege" at the end was funny hahahah lol


Needs to be shown throughout the country


Holy shit, I took the test and it was by far the most offensive shit I have ever witnessed. They classed Greece as the "shit" part of Europe,😂 to think it is one of the happiest places in Europe


You know, you might be insane, but your the good and smart type of insane.


Keep this up

Become one of the big boys on Youtube


I wanna see "Shrek your Privilege" become a meme


I checked my privilege and it turns out that everyone owes me free pancakes :V


What those people who say 'check your privilege' should know is that, at least in the Western countries, privileges based on race, gender, sexuality, etc. are, as a matter of FACT, non-exisistent currently.


Can you please, get more subscribers than Buzzfeed, now? You definitely deserve it!!!


I know I shrekd my privilege at the door and It says "get out my swamp!!!!!"


I laughed my ass off on the Rick and Morty part


This is my favorite video on the entire internet.


That part at 0:44 cracked me up pretty good.


Make more vids like these. They are pretty cool


I'm hispanic, and scored a 78/100 on the dumb buzzfeed quizz. Godamnit i'm a priviledged straight hispanic male


Reminds me of how Steve Harvey's story was part of the "that's effed up" on my radio station. So Steve Harvey grew up in the hood then made a life for himself later on is somehow "effed up"? I think that's amazing and congratulate the guy.


I like this kinda content dude, pretty original.


Okay. That's it. America has officially become the most sensitive country ever now. There has been fair debates on things, but now, it's gone too far. I mean the privilege thing is just now ridiculous. America, please stop being stupid, and let's just be smart and, uh...NOT CARE IF YOU'RE A DIFFERENT RACE, OR GENDER, OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU ARE! Thank you.


Just took that quiz and i got a 39 out of 100. I'm a straight white kid i didnt expect this at all


thank you for making this video, thank you


Holy shit man. This was fucking awesome!


If anyone tells me to check my privilege in person, I will not hesitate to punch them in the face.


I think the music kinda drowned out your voice at some points. Great video though!


I took the test and I got a 40% even though I'm white....I don't think it's accurate....


Please stop being normal and bless us with your poop again


I took the test and got a 49/100<br>So people who are under 18 or something are not priveledged?

I took the test and got a 49/100
So people who are under 18 or something are not priveledged?


Why is your voice literally the best thing ever


This video is still so fucking relevant it should be shared EVERYWHERE.


Gonna spam the shit outta my "sjw"-friends with this video


modern titanic be like. "Women and children first" did you just assume my gender?!


Man I actually like  "The sound of silence" by Simon & Garfunkle. It's ruined forever!


emporer lemon. the new king of youtube commentary


This video changed my view on buzzfeed thanks emplemon for realize how they are evil 😡😡😡😡😡😡💔💔💔💔😵😵😵😵😵😵😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡💀💀💀💀💀💀😡😡😡😡😡👿👿👿👿👿😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶. . . . . Wat

At what point does this begin to count as discrimination against white males?


6:25 Ahh that poop,  I remember that poop.


Chocalate rain is a dead meme,I went to chocalates funeral a year ago.


0:45 when I see fnaf boobs on my reccomended videos when watching sfms or fnaf related content.


has buzzfeed always been this bad?

becuase its been awful this week


Awesome video I like where this channel is going like a much funnier IHE. But IHE is still funny.


Well, let's see the suggested videos to the right of me. WTF? The how privileged video? You really think suggesting that now YouTube?


oh, but don't you dare insinuate that communism can't work, because "muh super specific brand of communism has never been tried!"


Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor by Franz Liszt <3


Protip - background music plays in the background.  Turn it down, bro.


Whos the "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER" dude?


Dude, Buzzfeed doesn't "think like this". They think like <i>this</i>: "How can we piss people off so hard that they will keep coming back to our channel to dislike our videos, giving us views?"

Dude, Buzzfeed doesn't "think like this". They think like _this_: "How can we piss people off so hard that they will keep coming back to our channel to dislike our videos, giving us views?"


Oh look, the video showed up in my recommendations.


Tfw this video explains all this shit better than anything else on the web


Emp stop with all this smart stuff I'm YouTube poop level smart


Where can I find that version of Sound of Silence?


You should have mentioned the use of the word nigga


EmpLemon you shud watch shoe on head video about privileges


wtf why does that yugioh kid have such a deep voice.


Im White. Male. Sixteen. And I'm fed off food stamps.


Clickbait titles? Controversial topics? Is this Pyro?


All the labeling of this "privilege" is not very progressive. In fact as EmpLem said "if I'm so underprivileged, then why should I better myself?"  That mentality exists, and actually allows those who are supposedly "privileged" to gain a stronger stance in society because that mentality doesn't exist for them.

Buzzfeed is literally the catalyst for the problems they wish to address with hopes of solving. (Or at least making money off of)


unsubscribe cuz you dissed my Wii u privilege


You sound exactly like a mix between RebelTaxi and Balenaproductions


crap now my in box just got contaminated by the title its so bad.     not the video tho


If you are going to do a video game review, please check out LISA THE PAINFUL.  You will not regret it.


ahh buzzfeed again. The Amazing Atheist bashes them good for their stupidity.


uhh...Emp...You...Are...Holy!!!
also I didn't want to say this...9 11 comments
:(


Ok. I gave it a shot. And it was terrific.


Does anyone else hear the Destiny music?


I can't even look at the trending anymore, it jut produces disgust and rage.


So this new type of videos are like Leafy's

But good


im guilty of doing all of those things they say are  bad. I said a girl is cute  for her race, but she is half white and half black so im hoping i didn't offend anyone cause im white and you know how blacks are to whites.


WAIT YOU CLICKED ON A BUZZFEED VIDEO, YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GOING TO BE FLOODED!NI actually abandoned my old account because I clicked on one.


Your logic of "rich POC exist, therfore white privilege doesn't" is quite the fallacy to me


Was that Rick and Mort season 3, I never saw that clip?


Checking a description is better than checking a privalege


guess who just unsubscribed from Buzzfeed


Idea: Everyone spam this in the Buzzfeed comment section. Better idea: Don't actually do that.


What do you think about Nascar Heat Evolution?


I got TheLegend27 ad lolololololvdnsjskskskdkdkdkdkd oh look a whale 🐳 haha yay


lol idgaf about shitty youtube videos where are my shitty youtube poops


This is YOUtube! Not a bunch of 'popular humans' tube! UGH! EMPEROR, PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD BE THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE! Instead in my youtuber Undertale, you have to be Napstablook! Misunderstood, doesn't believe in himself a lot! It's sad.


Who would win 1,000,000 feminists or 1 biology textbook?

The textbook but the feminists would would deny it and call it "oppression"


this is about as funny as a leafy video and a 2010 youtube poop combined. There's definitely a reason people watch your videos but don't subscribe.

yea clearly your videos are the pinochle of comedy


Buzzfeed is total clickbait and that. Survey is absolute shit. But this brings little nuance to the conversation. It's basically "I don't get it" the video. Maybe it's buzzfeed that failed to educate you properly on the subject. I'm going to chalk it up to that.


BuzzFeed is the worst enemy of an oncologist


Dude,

YTP's aren't Bringing in Enough Revenue?

So u Turn ur Platform into a Political Channel?

Ok then...
