College Professor’s Presentation: Imagine a World WITHOUT WHITENESS

Lol, it just dawned on me that being black or being white (blackness/whiteness) is not actually intrinsic to skin color but rather expectations of ones character. Sometimes you can hear people say, "stop acting all black" or "why are you acting all white for".... Lol.

Explain...

Holy guacamole, I just realized why this video is even an issue: the US media made it one!

At worst, it's one student bullying another student. (At WORST! It seems to me that she's just teasing him, possibly to draw out that ridiculous act from him, for which he might be renowned in his school.)

It's insane that this is even news, but such are the hysterical times we live in.

Things aren't often considered problematic until they affect you, then there's a problem.

There were a flurry of reactions as ESPN's sports journalist Bomani Jones appeared on ESPN wearing a "Caucasians" T-Shirt, parodying Cleveland's controversial but beloved Cleveland Indians logo Chief Wahoo. The shirt displayed a blonde white man with a dollar sign on the back of his head instead of a feather, which flipped the script on the controversial Indians logo by displaying Caucasians in the same manner that many Native Americans are displayed.

What the.... I have no idea why these people were taking the water like they were in a desert or something... but nonetheless, what caught my attention is that this incident is taken by so many people to represent the nature of a whole race... so the handful of people in this video are actually representative of a whole race... they are ambassadors... not unto themselves, but unto a whole group of people who number in the hundreds of millions, if not billions.

Now if the situation was reversed... I wonder if it would be... uhm, the same...

That's what they call privilege...

Also some of the comments on youtube are like so retarded

Brought to you by the wonderful world of negroes! Wherever they may be found, whether in Europe or America, negroes are always the same (e.g., stealing, looting, robbing, begging, and taking whatever isn't bolted down).

Like omg... seriously? so 'negroes' looted and robbed the world over for the last God knows how many centuries... compare bottled water to uhmm... whole countries and continents robbed wholesale and decimation of whole races.

I suppose, tbf to the commentator, the people in the video aren't stealing the water in style... what they should probably have done is privatized the water and required the runners to pay a premium for the right not to die of dehydration and if any protested, they should have hired the local hoodlums to police the whole thing and administer violence to the non-compliant... a bit like was the case in Bolivia

Now that is the sort of stealing that shows class and sophistication... :grad: :cool2:
 
Well said, Luke. It reminds me of one of my favourite Derrick Jensen quotes:
Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized. Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims.
