Someone needs to explain to this dingbat that sperm is needed to produce a baby and no matter what the crazies might think only men produce sperm. These are incredibly ignorant, evil people being given a platform for their imbecile thought for the first time since the Salem Witch Trials.
Yeah, just like they're working on synthetic wombs and uterine transplants for men and all kinds of pie-in-the-sky transhumanist bullshit. Not gonna happen.
As a sidenote, it's amusing that two of the most fervent advocates of these transhumanist goals -- extreme radfems and extreme trans activists -- are each other's sworn enemies. Horseshoe theory in action.
That woman is a menace to society. She can't see outside race, and can't even face the reality that her kids are MORE THAN FED. Maybe she should stop stuffing them like fois gras with racist bullshit. But what's worse than her? White people saying she's right. Insisting that other white people feel threatened by blacks. I see it all the time on social media, and I staggered through it at a gathering the other night. Why don't many black Americans want to work hard? Because SLAVERY. Get over it. Seriously.
The other day I had to wend my may through an essay by two black scholars at Brown called "Cotton, Whiteness, and Other Poisons." What a piece of work this was.
How can we break this spell? Observe how many of these men - white or otherwise: grow your food; transport your food, clothing, homes, autos (by truck, plane, ship); build and fix your infrastructure (roads, bridges, ports); attend to your plumbing, electricity, carpentry; and give your children a non-female perspective. In other words: open your eyes.
This from a recovering Democrat woman who has lived on both coasts and visited over 30 states.
I'm afraid opening their eyes to reality is beyond their ideological blindness. They hear and see what they want to, and none of it is based on objective reality. I congratulate you for opening yours and can only pray that more will follow in your footsteps.
Another reason is also the fact that envy and jealousy informs their hatred for white people, and white men in particular. I'm sorry, but it is the white man who brought civilization forth, for good and bad. I am not eliminating the contributions other races have made, or ignoring them, and for them I am grateful, but the white man carries the bulk of the honors. I won't apologize for saying that.
Those two women, and all who believe as they do, are vile and hate filled and their voices contribute nothing to the discussion that is worth hearing.
Sadly, you are correct, they live for hate and resentment.
"Take away grievances from some people and you remove their reasons for living; most of us are nourished by hope, but a considerable minority get psychic nutrition from their resentments, and would waste away purposelessly without them." ~ Sydney J. Harris
Sadly, my sister is an example of the Harris quote, though not for the reason of being a leftist. She has good reason to be bitter and her grievances are legitimate, but she has allowed them a prominence in her life so that enjoyment is nearly impossible for her to achieve. I feel a lot of sadness for her, unlike those whose grievances are luxuries they indulge.
I'm sorry to hear that I have relatives who are similar.
"For many people, an excuse is better than an achievement because an achievement, no matter how great, leaves you having to prove yourself again in the future; but an excuse can last for life." ~Eric Hoffer
"Gated communities". Who the hell is she talking about? Last time I checked the average white American lives paycheck to paycheck and can't afford a $500 emergency. This woman's so-called problem is with an invisible sliver of the population that may or may not actually exist. Her absurd characterization of this racist boogeyman is so obviously meant to stoke hatred and fear. I doubt any white person she has interacted with in the past 10 years has done anything but kiss her ass and extol her moral virtues. Disgraceful.
It’s like listening to what she *thinks* white people may have talked like in the 1930s and 1940s. Was she even alive back then? No one alive since the 60s are afraid of being a minority, and no one recently is afraid of the world “being brown.” It’s like they want to fight as if it were still Jim Crow era, but they forgot they already won that battle, and no one regrets that fact. White people alive today are glad they won that battle— you don’t have to keep fighting any more.
She's still "fighting" because she is a self-righteous narcissist who wants revenge. It's not about justice. After stoking nothing but fear and hatred for almost a full minute, she ends by saying, "Love is the answer." Classic narcissistic reversal.
I want to know how many of those stats cited are men that were raised primarily by single women and how may are NOT WHITE. Also, many crimes by women are under-reported or not reported due to society favoring women and hating men.
Wish I knew how to change the minds of misguided people, how to break the spell they’re under. Maybe it requires a personal crisis/breakdown, as you describe -- that’s what happened in my case too. But I wouldn’t wish that experience on others -- it’s too drastic and doesn’t guarantee healthy results or growth for many people.
There has to be a better way, but I haven’t found it..
One other point about the 2nd lady (I don't even feel like giving the 1st one time cuz it is so idiotic) - Her attitude is part of the reason men are failing & I can't understand how she cannot see that?!
I used to be a white liberal apologist too, and I had a similar awakening gradually over the last few years. Things have gotten so totally insane that if you haven’t started to become disturbed or at least uncomfortable by 2020, let alone since October 7th, I’m not sure you ever will.
The groups that are acceptable to openly despise now are: straight white males, white women, and “Zionists” (read: Jews.) But all 3 are lumped together as “whiteness” in the abstract, which they tie in with “colonialism.” It’s incredibly intellectually embarrassing.
I see how absolutely gleeful ppl are to be able to be antisemitic and racist openly while being praised as virtuous, whereas ppl will be called “racist” and “Nazis” for standing up for the ones everyone loves to “call out” now. I guess for a few years there, it wasn’t cool to openly despise anyone, and apparently ppl were really missing it.
It’s clear that those groups are the social lepers now, and the more minority groups you are in, the more social status you have. But ppl still act like trans, black and LGBT ppl are silenced and “marginalized.” Then they get social justice warrior points for “speaking out” when actually what they’re saying is conformist, the status quo.
I’ve tried to gently and in good faith try to get people to see some of this, but it seems extremely ingrained in them and resistant to any evidence to the contrary. They get weirdly angry, and it must be incredibly important to their values/idea of themselves. I don’t think there’s anything anyone can do; they’re going to have to figure it out for themselves, which will only happen if something happens to them in their lives to affect them personally, or their own children. I’ll still be kind and keep my side of the street clean, but I’m done trying to reason with ppl who don’t share my values.
Agreed that it needs to affect them personally or they won't see it. I lived in Oakland, California for 20 years and experienced so much violence (including muggings, break-ins, harassment and physical assaults) and hatred from black people, I just couldn't see them as victims at all. Not to mention, shootings, littering, loud stereos, lighting off firecrackers all year round, rudeness in stores. BLM was big in Oakland well before George Floyd, and every white person I knew got on board. Small businesses put up signs in their front windows in support of BLM but still got trashed & looted. The only person I could talk to honestly about my experiences and my opinions about it was my Republican girlfriend. People would us both racist for voicing any of those thoughts out loud, but they were true.
I lived in Oakland from 1999-2017 and got sick and tired of people using any and every excuse to smash up storefronts and loot. It really makes me very sad.
I was so relieved to move out to a place where that's no longer normal. And I can have packages delivered to my front steps and not get worried they'll be stolen. I can leave my car unlocked accidentally and have it not be broken into and the dash ripped out for the crappy radio. I can drive to the store without passing 5 separate homeless camps and trash strewn all over the place. I feel like I'm still recovering from all the violence and ugliness I experienced there. I hope you've been able to move somewhere better too!
It’s funny how “systemic racism” is reportedly alive and well while everyone from corporations, banks, government, schools, health care, IT, social media and mass media are falling over themselves to institute DEI measures and hiring. Seems to me that systemic racism would be an impediment to such things.
There is only one solution: In a world of lies speak the truth. In a world of darkeness, be the light. In a world filled with hatred, love. It’s an attitude we tell each other in 12-step recovery. You can do something to make the world better or you can make it worse. Only one choice leads to being happy, joyous and free. The other is a slippery slope to resentment and misery. Both woman are eating the poison they hope is hurting others.
I wish I had some helpful answers to your question, but I have none. These people have been given a platform by the very people they despise, white people who out of some misguided and badly educated frame of reference believe they deserve to be maligned and denigrated for their success. And those white people who are successes? Well, as someone else commented, they comprise a minority of the white population at large.
White people who are all too happy to "get educated" and parade their supposed oppressor shame around are covert narcissists. I've stopped believing that the majority are misguided or well-meaning.
Yes, I certainly agree. They enjoy and relish the opportunity to bully and shame those who possess even a tiny bit of enjoyment in their personal and professional lives and do not need to claim victimhood or blame anyone for anything. And certainly, not for minute do these narcissists care a single bit about the truly oppressed.
It’s an emotionally attractive position to take and people who do actually care about others and trying to right past wrongs, even those they didn’t support and weren’t responsible for, is a powerful motivator.
You picked up on the classic narcissistic reversal. Her intent is wicked, and she's projecting her wickedness onto others, and wearing their good feelings falsely.
I’m sorry… I’m sure I will be branded a racist for this but I really don’t fucking care.
I own a large house( I know, white privilege) and it requires normal upkeep. I am recently widowed and some repairs are beyond my knowledge base. Without fail, every time I hire a contractor- roofer, electrician,plumber, painter; all blue collar jobs, mind you.. a white man shows up to help me out. Occasionally they are Hispanic, but they are never black. And I’m not capitalizing that to be politically correct.
I don’t live in a predominantly white area of the country, I am just outside of the the liberal cesspool of Portland, Oregon from which I gratefully departed 2 years ago. My point is, be careful who you shit on. You just may need them to fix something for you.
when she says “…get those wetbacks outta this country, we own this bitch…”, I think we all know what she is projecting and who SHE really wants to get out of this country. classic hallmark of narcissistic projection.
I work for a state government agency and attended an online training last year about language access in government communications. There were about 100 attendees from different agencies around the country. I really wish I'd taken screen shots from the chat window. It was shocking to see what was being said about white people, the kinds of things that would NEVER fly if it had been about people of any other race.
Things may be changing quickly, Josh, and it's exciting. A man named Santiago Pliego writes a Substack. His latest, "The Vibe Shift," articulates with excellence a sense that I've had for several months: we may have passed Peak Woke. The article is as bolstering of morale as anything I could imagine, and I commend it to you and to your other readers.
I read it, and I want to feel hope. That is hard for me. My default stance to the world is defensive. It's not easy separating how much of it is my considerable neurosis, and how much is my accurate perception that we have deep problems that are not going to be fixed.
I apologize if this is not welcome, but there is much more to life than the failures of people. I don’t know where you are regarding faith in God or lack thereof, but I wholeheartedly recommend exploring this. Following Christ allows for hope that cannot be created by the inevitable failings of people, which by definition are imperfect and will fail at some point.
Someone needs to explain to this dingbat that sperm is needed to produce a baby and no matter what the crazies might think only men produce sperm. These are incredibly ignorant, evil people being given a platform for their imbecile thought for the first time since the Salem Witch Trials.
They're actually working on technology to make babies without men.
Yeah, just like they're working on synthetic wombs and uterine transplants for men and all kinds of pie-in-the-sky transhumanist bullshit. Not gonna happen.
As a sidenote, it's amusing that two of the most fervent advocates of these transhumanist goals -- extreme radfems and extreme trans activists -- are each other's sworn enemies. Horseshoe theory in action.
It’s already been accomplished, I’m pretty sure.
