On July 22nd MTV will release a groundbreaking documentary set to shed light on what it means to be a “white person” living in today’s society.
Its name? ‘White People.’
The project was conceived by Pulitizer Prize-winner Jose Antonio Vargas and will tackle the issues surrounding prejudice, white privilege and institutional racism with the help of young people who hold views set to surprise some while offending other.
Watch its trailer below…

And MTV2 are doing a show called UncommonSense and it’s dedicated to Black Twitter. Charlamagne is acting a fool on Twitter as we speak.
Yas!!!!
Just watched the trailer it looks very interesting. Im glad MTV is bringing this social issue to the mainstream.
Same.
This should be interesting
Agreed tbh, hopefully it’s done tastefully and accurately, since MTV is a huge network that people, young AND old watch. It could be an opportunity to do a lot of good or a lot of bad.
Ohhh, sounds juicy. I will be tuning in.
Screams! That picture though….being white in America must be so hard * eye roll *
LMAOOOO! You ain’t right ????????. But I’ll be watching my tea in my cup.
It is hard. Not being able to use the n word, wanting to carry guns around Walmart (just in case), wanting to wave the confederate flag around that represents a time when blacks were considered to be 3/5 of a person, not being able to rid the country Of illegal immigrants, even though white Americans are illegal immigrants… Poor babies.
* falls on floor *
You guys kill me lol
Oh so it’s okay for Whites to be generalized but a crime against humanity when the same is done to Blacks eh?
Ummm… I’m sorry I didn’t catch the question. What did you say? …Try thinking and Then typing.
Yassss you better say that!
And aren’t blacks illegal as well? Thank you. Not from here either b****.
Reading comprehension requires the capacity to make inferences. You missed the point. I dont recall blacks willingly migrating here. This was a nice attempt at shifting the focus in the opposite direction though. This conversation is about white privilege and white supremacy right? NICE TRY! throwing out comments like that, as if it changes history. I’m going to COMPLETELY shift the spotlight back where it belongs, because you really just tried it.
1. The TERRORISTS who stole this country were WHITE.
2. The Murderers who are responsible for the depletion of the NA population, were WHITE.
3. The Bigots, who are responsible for the displacement of millions of blacks (since you so gracefully reminded me that blacks shouldn’t be here) were WHITE.
Terrorists committed these crimes. Terrorists who were also murderers. Murdering, Terrorists who were also devout racists and Christians at the same time. Terrorist, murdering, racist, christians, committed these crimes…. And they were White.
Bravo @”Pray for R8″! That might have been the the best read I have ever read on this site. You did that… and in that order. SMH! lol
Girl shut up. You’re trying to be the Al Sharpton of TGJ while having a coke whôré in your avi name. Sit bish sit
@Pray for #R8, your reading and listening comprehension must be disabled, because what I got from this is the complete opposite. This documentation is NOT just about white privilege / supremacy. It is a look into the world of white people, who are commonly misinterpreted as being something that MOST, not all, but most, are not, while also shedding light on the [laughable] inevitability of “white privilege” / “white supremacy.” If I were to point out all the negatives from the black community, as you just did with the white community (which are not all accurate, to say the least), would I be labeled a racist? And if I were to be labeled such as one, why wouldn’t you? That is the point. Thank you.
No it’s not
It’s exploring their privilege through their eyes
It’s twofold
The trailer actually looks pretty good. I’ll watch.
Marking my calendar
It seems interesting for sure. I look forward to tuning in, but you should read the comments on youtube already. It’s crazy. Race needs to be talked about more openly between all races and maybe some of the stereotypes, stigma, and prejudice would start to dissolve. Some people just don’t want to hear the truth or how their actions affect other people.
It’s kind of difficult to talk about race when Black people are just as racist as White people except only White people are being vilified 24/7 on the media.
“Black people are just as racist as white people?” Surely you can’t make claims like that without providing evidence. Justification is necessary and I will wait…
You have the most ironic yet idiotic name, since you never have any logic behind any of your comments. How do you plan to combat one generalization with another generalization? Don’t bother answering, because I don’t care for a response.
Typical desperate move for such an irrelevant channel. Why don’t they air some actual music which is what they’re named for.
Hey, sometime MTV gets it right. We’re older now, so WE’RE not in that demographic anymore, but this will be great for the new gen… I guess.
This actually seems pretty interesting. Happy that issues like institutionalized racism and white privilege are finally being brought forward in 2015. No wonder rednecks have been losing it lately.
Because they knew things are about to change. And it’s not even a Black and White thing, because you have a lot of White people that are sick of it too. We’re becoming a country that is making much harder to be racist, sexiest, homophobic and so on. And that’s why they’re shaking.
I agree with y’all @Mark & @Rosie
I will mos def tune in for this. Hopefully people will get an better understanding of what’s really going on.
@Annalise I don’t use you anymore but how are you gonna come on a post about race when you were running around calling me a s**** a couple weeks ago? Or did you forget? Kiiiii I haven’t forgotten about your ass, and as long as you comment on this website your ass is mine. STOP mentioning me when not around, and put some Chapstick on those d*** suckers hoeeeeee
Very interesting. I’ll be tuning in.
Now this is the Tea I want in cup!!!!!
My clients are adamant about purchasing the rights to the Rebel Confederate flag. They have expressed deep concern regarding the flag and how it is tearing apart our nation. Mr. and Mrs. Carter wants to assist in the abolishment of the flag by purchasing the resell rights to the Confederate flag. If my clients are successful, purchasing the rights would mean that anyone who wants to produce merchandise using the Confederate flag would have to get permission from Mr. and Mrs. Carter. My clients have expressed that they are not looking to profit from the use of the flag, but rather prevent any further use of the flag on merchandise.
Yasssssssssss I saw that yesterday. Wonder if it’s true.
LOL God bless your soul @rihSLAVEY you’re mentally unwell. @skyfall already checked your ignorant comment… Every race has experienced a form of slavery… So you assuming that I’m talking about a particular one is exposing your own idiocy. Post a receipt of me mentioning you since I took your ass to the slaughterhouse 2 weeks ago????…. You really are my employee since I’m always on your mind. I used you, get over it and move tf on you weak b*tch. You’re so obsessed and you can’t help but mention your master ???????????????????????? you make me sick and kii at the same time!
LMAO! The same navi that wouldn’t claim you, called you my lessor???????????????????? I don’t have to degrade you, because you degrade yourself???? even on this same post your kissing the same asses that dragged the poor soul out of your skeletor body???? I OWN you❤️????????????????????
I just wanna point out that white ppl ( kind ironically) lead in S****** RATES worldwide. They also lead in mass murders. Beastiality incest canibalism child molestation. Being white must really be stressful cuz aparently being white + being miserable means hide yo kids wife and husbands donuts too.
You really know a lot about White people don’t you! Pressed much??
Boo hoo poor white people. We get attacked for no good reason even though we appropriate from everyone, make up history to glorify ourselves, are responsible for all humanitarian crises of the modern world, and fabricated the Lord’s image into ourselves to prove we’re next to godliness
If u ever see a white person thats been to jail for a long time and they just got out.. RUN! cuz this means they must of done sum pretty awful sh!T. The bible doesnt nickname them white devils for nothing. Its the blacks and indians and africans and egyptions that ruled this wlrld b4 all these Albino Devils!
What’s an Egytion? Do you mean Egyptian?
I can’t wait, I have my popcorn and hot tea with honey while I watch with grace honey!! Yesss!
The problem with tackling racism in this generation is going to prove more difficult than ending the apartheid (America).. With social media allowing people to voice their opinions under each video photo, were left with an even longer trail of reasonable doubt that what we came with.. These issues aren’t tackling race in my opinion, but it is getting people to talk about it, and I think that is very different from tackling..
THere’s a whole heap of racists comments towards white people up in here…Major hypocrisy going down.
People will watch it because it interesting in them
When & Why Did Our Moms Become Less Than Human?
Hi. I am puzzled by something, perhaps someone can help?
Who is responsible for *influencing or conditioning* many young Americans of African descent to characterize our moms, sisters, grandmas, daughters and aunts as less than human creatures?
Growing up in the 60s, year after year I’d roll out of bed in the morning, crank up my 9v transistor radio listening to contemporary sounds, including a new genre of American music its artists, composers, lyricists and producers called Motown.
My Motown musician friends wrote and performed music that made me smile, wanting to dance, celebrate life and wanting to experience the love between a man and a woman they were constantly telling me about. Every hour of every day I could tune in my radio and listen to my talented Motown musician friends singing songs praising and loving women
Listening to these musicians celebrating life and loving women *conditioned* me to believe they are good, peaceful people deserving of respect, admiration and a large *”Thank you”* for sharing their musical talent with me, my friends and our world.
What I am trying to figure out is why today, many of my Motown friend’s children and grandchildren are writing contemporary music performance lyrics that clearly are demeaning and HATING on each other, as well as writing lyrics demeaning women, our moms, sisters, grandmas, daughters and aunts, characterizing women as *itches* and *hores*, essentially less than human not deserving of respect? Which is pretty much how greedy or genuinely ignorant early Euros characterized the African people they abducted and enslaved.
What happened? Why have females fallen out of favor with many young people who write rap hip hop performances?
Another question. Today when ten-year-old American kids wake up, tune into their fav contemporary radio station, listening to lyrics describing anti-social activities and behaviors their parents, community and educators are telling them are harmful to them, their neighbors and community, what opinions, if any, will these 5th grade children form about the music performers writing music lyrics describing anti-social behaviors and activities that often emotionally traumatize and physically harm individual peaceful people and the neighborhoods they live or work in?
Thanks.
