congrats on finding that one dipshit video with an even terrible title.
Feck meShe seems nice.
Interesting username as well....congrats on finding that one dipshit video with an even terrible title.
she is talking about whiteness as a power structure aka colonialism. And whiteness doesn't just include white people but also people who aspire to whiteness such as Priti Patel, Kamala Harris by climbing the power structure in the name of identity politics. Her point isn't about literally killing white people but looking for ways to decouple from such a failed form of identity, in other words, decolonization.Interesting username as well....
I agree....I was referring to username of the guy who uploaded the video.she is talking about whiteness as a power structure aka colonialism.

ah, got it. my bad.I agree....I was referring to username of the guy who uploaded the video.
To you honestly believe that Patel and Kamala Harris aspire to Whiteness? How about Obama? Has Whiteness just become a buzzword for doing dirty things?she is talking about whiteness as a power structure aka colonialism.

Do you honestly think her rhetoric is a healthy one? She's generalizing so much. Also you're seriously doing some incredible reaching here. "Kamala Harris aspiring to whiteness", really?she is talking about whiteness as a power structure aka colonialism.

Kamala Harris is a cop. This has been discussed to death and I don’t want to get into it again. Personally, id worry more about such channels which clearly thrive on taking comments out of context. Also, the username like many pointed out is worrisome too.Do you honestly think her rhetoric is a healthy one? She's generalizing so much. Also you're seriously doing some incredible reaching here.

Worrisome is a massive understatement. That channel is obviously run by a white supremacist who isn't even remotely trying to hide what they are. If I were VorZakone I'd be questioning where I found it. I obviously don't think he found it himself, but someone thought it was a good source.Personally, id worry more about such channels which clearly thrive on taking comments out of context.

Edit: It's his Youtube user, put it in a spoiler becauser his username is basically the n-word. Interesting list of videos.
It’s scary for sure. I don’t know how these algorithms work but such channels getting a platform and hits is something that has to lead to dipshits like Ben Shapiro becoming famous.Worrisome is a massive understatement.

No, I was referring to her terrible record as a prosecutor. Something which has been discussed to death and I don’t want to get into it again.And this means she aspires to whiteness? What an odd remark.
Seen the comments? It's a racist channel for racist viewers. It's also obviously a cut-up video. If you want to criticize (or more neutrally: discuss) this woman's ideas, we should at least get a proper source with the full video and context.Worrisome is a massive understatement.

Power in the US is generally white and generally comes with certain ways of thinking about justice, fairness, and equity, that have no basis in social science or in the experiences of racialized communities. I suppose it's in that sense that Harris, who seems to have completely embraced that thinking, can be considered to aspire to whiteness. I mean, all the evidence and community experience indicates that 'tough on crime' does nothing to reduce crime or help communities, yet it's been her exact stance.

https://angrywhitemen.org/2019/04/2...e-fire-and-attempted-murder-of-a-white-child/His co-host Gxxxxxxy complained that black people “fecking shit on us and kill our kids and rape our women and shit.”
“This is exactly the reason why lynching used to exist,” Nxxxxy added. “And I’m not gonna advocate anything illegal, but if people were to do some shit I wouldn’t fecking shed a single fecking tear.”
Certain crime bills had the endorsement of African-American leaders who were troubled with the crack epidemic. There was this desire within black communities to be tougher on crime.

Right now and in recent times, it is certainly not something that's supported by Afro-American communities - and that's when Harris has been active. How 'tough on crime's was perceived in earlier times or where it comes from doesn't matter for that. (And I'll agree that it was once widely seen as a good idea. I even just read Orwell supporting it in The Road to Wigan Pier.) Fact is that it's part of the current general power narrative in the US and decidedly out of touch with community experiences.Certain crime bills had the endorsement of African-American leaders who were troubled with the crack epidemic.

Now of course in hindsight we have the evidence available to us to show that 'tough on crime' wasn't helpful but I don't agree with the notion that being tough on crime has some inherent whiteness in it derived from power.
So what does 'whiteness' have to do with all this? Yes, most power is held by white people. How does that relate to Harris' career as a prosecutor and 'aspiring to whiteness'?Right now and in recent times, it is certainly not something that's supported by Afro-American communities - and that's when Harris has been active.

Are you seriously saying 'so what' there? You don't think there is an issue with the fact that power has historically, and mostly still, been held by straight white men? Are you disassociating that from policies that have often tended to overlook or be harmful to people that are not straight or white or men? (We could probably add other groups here as well.) Cause that's what it seems to me you're implying with the 'so what' - and it would explain why the whiteness concept seems to weird to you.So what does 'whiteness' have to do with all this?

Black people aren't a monolith. Polls show there is still substantial support among black people for more police presence. Do you consider the desire for more police presence to be a whiteness concept too?
Are you saying that Kamala Harris played up to white people? Otherwise I don't see how you draw a straight line from "white people hold power" to "Kamala Harris aspires whiteness".Are you seriously saying 'so what' there?

I was just thinking that I should have added that part. If people from different groups make it into power, that's nice; but it's less useful if they don't also add new perspectives. The problem is that, to be able to have a successful political career, people often largely have to subscribe to the dominant line of thinking - instead of the probably different perspectives from within their own community. I don't know if 'aspiring to whiteness' is necessarily the right expression here. Maybe 'succumbing' or 'giving in' works better for some, depending on how and why this development happened for each individual. But the point is that they become 'white' in a sense philosophically on their way up.Are you saying that Kamala Harris played up to white people?

Cooper cited the rise in the cost of living as the reason white people aren’t having children, saying, “White people’s birth rates are going down … because they literally cannot afford to put their children, newer generations, into the middle class … It’s super perverse, and also they kind of deserve it.”
https://news.yahoo.com/rutgers-professor-says-white-people-153000065.htmlCampus Reform reported that a public records request revealed that Cooper’s salary will be at least $114,248.95 for this year.
White people have historically held power in countries where the population demographics have been predominantly white. In countries which historically have been predominantly white, the vast majority of poor people, servants, helpers, i.e. powerless people have also been white. There are far more white people who are poor, powerless and prioritise family, community and morality, than there are white people who prioritise power and exploitation.Are you seriously saying 'so what' there? You don't think there is an issue with the fact that power has historically, and mostly still, been held by straight white men?
That's a pretty random sentence about their salary tacked onto the end of that article.
So what is the real female perspective on doing business then?I was just thinking that I should have added that part.

It's perhaps similar to how many women in top positions in business don't really bring the female perspective to doing business (and are hence poor advocates for diversity or women in general), since the ones that made it through often did so because they were or became 'like the guys' (or even 'worse' than the guys, since they have to prove themselves more).
What do you think about her comments on white people?That's a pretty random sentence about their salary tacked onto the end of that article.
Sugar and spice and all things nice.So what is the real female perspective on doing business then?
The white people not having kids cos they can't afford to put them into the middle class and they deserve it bit? Sounds plausible as a contributing factor, but one of many, eg immigrant populations tending to be younger and poorer, rather than the sole reason. The 'they deserve it' comment is a bit daft, given the falling birth rate among white people is presumably largely through active choice.What do you think about her comments on white people?
Cooper also said that she wants to say, “We gotta take these motherf*****s out,” but that she can’t because “I don’t believe in a project of violence” and that “our souls would suffer” from doing so.
Well, good to know you agree on that.The white people not having kids cos they can't afford to put them into the middle class and they deserve it bit?

At first I didn't notice the uploader's name. So yeah, it's bad. Doesn't make the professor's comments less bad for me though.@VorZakone you seem to have happily skipped over the fact that you essentially posted a video from a StormFront user?
