Speaking from an American point of view at this point, just to be honest, many white people are scared for their lives. Scared to lose the privilege they have very unethically held for so long. This is why white supremacists groups and far right extremist groups are coming out of the woods so to speak. You only start fighting when you fear you are about to lose something. That is the reality for many. Trump has lit the bonfire and it will only get worse.

From the 43 video you may feel those are anti white commercials but how so exactly?

How would you like to see white men portrayed in media?

Also the video is assuming that black men have not been portrayed as the worst of the worst. I honestly had to laugh on that one. They often love having black people play subservient roles.

My problem is what is wrong with someone other than a white male being the star of the commercial? Or what is wrong with a black guy getting a promotion if his idea is truly better?

If there's anything wrong with anyone other than a white man being seen in a good or positive light then that's a problem in itself because essentially it means you see white as superior by default.

No group is truly "superior". It's relative. The notion of white superiority is a myth as well as black superiority. It's these kinds of man made satanic ideas that have cause people to be enslaved, slaughter, hated, oppressed for a number of reasons.

There's no need to feel guilt for the past. But do understand this. If my great grandfather caused harm to tens of your family members in the past
don't you think that the honorable and responsible thing to do would be to try to mend fences and right wrongs? Or should I go on blaming you and your family for being victims of MY great grandfather's hatred for your family? It's ludicrous. If nothing is done to mend fences then it only makes the relationship between you and I more hostile.

We are being constantly divided man and so many don;t even see what's happening to them in all of this. Sin is the most toxic thing in the world and we are all infected. The blood is on all of our hands unless we repent.

I could discuss this forever bro you know me.

Reluctantly ended slavery due to societal, political, global pressures.

For example Abraham Lincoln said himself that if he could have kept slaves while still holding the Union together he would have done it. So he only "freed" slaves to so the south (at the time the U.S was split) would not win the war.
