Why Are White People So Bad at Talking About Native Issues? - Klepper

Makes me laugh when some really really extremely white people tells that they are some percentage Cherokee 😂

Very happy to see you have chosen this subject! I thank you and so do the 30 tribal descendants I sent your link to!

Oh hey look at that the comment has been deleted

Oneida Nation citizen here: I really connected to this episode. It's good to see Native activists getting a bigger platform.

Right. They don’t understand native side. Cause they don’t teach the real stories on what they done to the native people.
Doing good there Jordan Klepper. AHO!!!

Good job Jordan I have a new found respect for you

We're not bad about taking about native americans issues we talk about it before and people need to get over it

If the native Americans made a fuss they would get attention. But they are peaceful people who don't want that

I’d slaughter all y’all like thanksgiving day

Excellent conversation

If you look at Trumps honoring to-code talkers, guess who was in the background...Andrew Jackson! You know about Andrew Jackson? Look him up in relation to Indigenous people!

I know a native American and he's a good guy

I always hate to use the expression “white people” most white people are innocent and or ignorant of what they did or are still doing. I blame the founding fathers and those who decided to continue that path but in a more intelligent way. They indirectly misrepresent and misinterpret cultures they wish to mock.

Indigenous culture is a pagan society. Klepper is a liar and a coward.

I thought people forgot about us, the second guy was completely right though. We are individuals not a people. Doing a documentary is weird as hell.

No no! Only blacks experience racism!!!!

This dudes an ass

I'm native american and who gives a toot. Grow up and be proud to be native.

Who runs most of media again.....

Wait. They cut the episodes?

Ahhh how can I be so late to these veidos😬

So long story short: They will be offended and pissed about anything you, as a white guy, do or don't do. If you are ignoring their problems you are racist and if you try to help, then you are the negatively seen, white savior they don't want, as seen in the end. Could it be that in the end they are simply pissed about you because you are white... thus making them mild shock racist!?

This is a really foolish concern. Indians in America represent a very small minority of the population. Their numbers don’t warrant any more representation in society than they already have. Then the complaint becomes about how condescending or biased that representation is. That complaint is foolish as well because there’s nothing wrong with depicting elements of their culture such as teepees and headdresses. We need to get away from this idea that depicting elements of a culture is condescending. The artist at the end used a headdress in his art to depict the culture. How hypocritical is it to say “we can do it but you can’t?”

You shouldn’t generalize people like that my guy

Talking about misrepresentation, can you guys call them Native Americans instead of Indians? Yeah, Columbus screwed up but we don't have to follow that misrepresentation

I fuck with Klepper. He’s a lot like me. Very self analytical s it’s rare so I appreciate that in people.💯

Klepper is amazing. Using your platform to create better awareness of such issues is great

Intelligent and sexy, Jordan you’re amazing!

We role played Indians at summer camp. Truthfully, when I was a kid, I really liked it. After growing up, I realized how terrible that was. It's appropriation and it's wrong and I'm still trying to make up for that.

My sister is half native American I get so mad that they have so little media attention! Thank you so much for this!

At times, parody is the way to penetrate "bone headiness." Seriously, having an intelligent and rational conversation on race relations in our country is a futile effort. It's the hubris of many, that do not want to either discuss or even having a normal discourse on the topic. Why, one must ask and then do some reflection on current attitudes and lack of a well rounded education. (Then again, one may get an education-but how relevant or lacking thereof-perspectives. We should be cognizant of innate behaviors molded since childhood and dependent how a child is "hard wired" determines outlook on topics of "race relations." Unfortunately, educational curriculums may not be up to task for a well rounded understanding of complicated topics, right? Diversity and isolation (say in the rural parts or even suburbia-where "affluent communities" become exclusive and restrictive due to socioeconomic barriers.

AWESOME!!!

Crystal Echohawk, what an incredible name!

My mailman is native American so I asked him how he felt about the Washington Redskins; his reply? "Leave it to you white people to worry about bullshit like that"

Is there a full episode?

to be fair they also had a picture of a nun costume in the background, so, even nuns get sexualized and have "sexy nun" costumes sold at party city... literally, nothing is sacred.. why everything has to be eroticized, and exoticized, I have no idea, but yes, it's 100% gross, I agree.

What you do is funny, but it's important for starting conversations, I'm a HUGE fan, Thank You.

Go racing you can no one’s gonna stop you from racing MotoGP someone will sponsor you because you’re the best you’re out there run that shit then you would understand that recognition starts very small

Awesome! By succeeding in making us laugh within the context of uncomfortable issues, Jordan succeeds in making uncomfortable issues universal.

Native americans?...

In my stupid home town “they do this EASTER FIRES” play that was misleading as to what happened with Indians who wore living in Gillespie aka Fredericksburg TX. They told kids it was the Easter bunny coloring eggs when in reality it was war between white and Indians.

Why do people choose to dress up as another culture/race? Is this what Halloween is about according to Megan Kelly?

Thank you I’m Navajo and miwok I look like a poster board native historical picture like I’m the real deal over here but anyways thank you for hearing and supporting native people

It's funny how hella white people want everyone who hasn't come from
europe out but they stole the land from the Native Americans.

Non-white person complains about white oppression. White sympathizer sees the injustice and attempts to help. White sympathizer loses credibility with for being a “white savior.” White sympathizer backs off and allows marginalized people to defend themselves. Non-white people continue to be oppressed.

We see ya'll & care about ya'll. ♥
