So there would be no issue with the thin-skinned and the “Problem of Blackness”? Of course there would.

The SJWs won’t get this. This could call it something non-flammable, but they’ll defend it in spite of the fact it contributes to the likelihood of cancellation.

there is a book called How the Irish Became White, which you’d think doesn’t make any sense! They’re European! They’re the whitest of the white, next to the Nordic!

I read the course description and looked up the professor before I commented. He’s a rapper who goes by the stage name Professor D and performs with a group called the Dope Poet Society on a record label called Justus (sic) League Records. He’s also a white guy born in Canada...

Okay, but — here’s the thing — does anyone think of themselves, consciously, as being “born white” as opposed to German, Polish, or Italian? Do white people think of whiteness as a cultural thing that TV shows and movies appeal to? Are white people reminded of their whiteness at certain points during the day, in,…

It’s almost like it was deliberately written to be provocative and confrontational. And continuing to perpetuate the ‘us’ vs ‘them’ mentality.

I don’t really have a problem with the name, but it’s like the college course equivalent of clickbait. Most people who’ll take it will probably go in like “Oh, this’ll probably be about the institutionalized white power structure and it’s pervasive racial oppression throughout the western world”, but a republican…

I have a problem with the course’s name. If there was a class called the “The Problem of Blackness,” or “The Problem of Hispanics,” or “The Problem of Jewishness” this website would be up in arms. Being born a particular way isn’t a problem. Nor should it be treated as such.

The only way I can interpret that is that the defense attorney is claiming the part where the defendant was sodomized with a wire hanger was consensual.

Um. This was rape. Nothing any lawyer says can make that not true, it is clear cut. Secondly, of course it was racially motivated, because who the fuck knows what a “Ku Klux Klan” song is? Third, yes, he was targeted for being “vulnerable” and that vulnerability is intersectional: he is both black and disabled. Black…

Yes, apparently, they do. People are going to feel so fucking stupid when this asshole is exposed YET AGAIN. If you ever wonder how people can be so gullible and stupid, just look at these comments. Literal proof that the guy is a scammer but these idiots would rather engage in performative bullshit in the name of…

The difference is that I’m not using my bias as some cudgel against random people I’ve never met and don’t know anything about. I don’t pretend to know what people are thinking or doing based on them wanting to not be in some dudes video.

Nah, the people yelling “bye” to him were several rows back from where he was filming. A lot of people keep to themselves while flying and might not have known what was going on at a different section of the plane. If I was on a plane and saw someone videotaping I would be trying to hide from the camera too

I agree, they are embarrassed for the guy because hes a fucking idiot.

Hey, that’s a very balanced take. Thank you.

I think the issue is that we don’t know why Delta kicked him off the flight. He claims it was because he was speaking Arabic. But that’s not on the video. I guess it’s just hard to take the word of a YouTube prankster with a history of profiling related hoaxes seriously without corroborating.

The video starts with him saying, “I’m uploading this to Facebook.” I’d imagine people don’t want to be in some dudes viral video. Your projections are always just reinforcing your own world view. Many people just don’t want to be on some yelling dudes internet video.

Even if he did it as a joke, why should speaking a different language get you kicked off a flight?

The looks on their faces were the looks of people who were watching somebody make an ass of themselves loudly in public.

Hold up. There’s no proof he WAS kicked off the plane for speaking Arabic. That’s something that only he has said and no one has backed him up on it. He could have just acted like a tool, then made up the rest as he got kicked off.
