A self-described "redneck" who goes by the pseudonym Dixon D. White posted a YouTube video that has taken the Internet by storm. In the video titled "I'm a redneck and I love America," he frankly and honestly discusses institutionalized racism and the culture of white privilege.
White, who wrote on Facebook that he has a white mother and Cuban father, admits that he was once a racist. "I didn't like blacks," he says. "Used to call 'em the n-word and what not." Now White, whose real name is Jorge Eugene Moran, has become an anti-racist activist.Excerpts from his video...

:applause::applause::applause:“White people are racist. Not all of them; white culture is. Our white country is. Our culture is full of white supremacy that caters to white people,” White says. “It’s about time we stop being lazy snip white people and take some snip responsibility,” White continues.
White, who still admits to being a “redneck,” says that there’s a new “South” and it’s called white racial responsibility. He pleads with white America to basically man and woman up, and take responsibility for their actions. He wants white people to speak out against racism instead of participating in it or turning a blind eye to it.
“It’s the inaction that has always destroyed other people. It’s the indifference,” White said. “I hate when people say I don’t see color. If you don’t see color, how the hell are you going to fix it?”
White implores white people to think outside the box. He also talks about white people being afraid of black retribution. “We’re scared of retribution; we got a lot of snip fear. We’re scared, we always have been,” White said.
White even delves into the prison population and cowardly police officers who are also scared of black retribution.
And let’s not forget about the fallacy of “reverse racism.” He says that it’s false, and that of course black people are angry—but angry about atrocities that white people continue to commit.
White urges people to vote for and create legislation to fight against the racism that is ingrained in America. He also implores people never to ignore any form of racism. “Speak up and act up” is his advice. White’s videos should be mandatory viewing for everyone.
