    Kind of ironic that whoever made this video whitewashes minority issues while pretending to care about minority issues.

    Regarding voting:

    Black voters remained overwhelmingly loyal to the Democratic Party, voting 92%-8% for Biden.

    And regarding Project 2025, The woman in the video simultaneously acknowledges its sheer fascism while downplaying criticism of it. It’s an impressive feat, really.

            There is a difference between talking about the danger and the historical impact of racism as a metaphysical concept, and actualizing racism by participating in its use for “irony”.

            Talking about racism should center around the fact that it’s a fraudulent human construct that was erected to deny large swaths of humanity their rights, dignity, and lives. The whole point of talking about racism is to address the historical and current inequalities it perpetuates.

            Does perpetuating the concept of racism lead to less racism?

            If this young lady actually manages to anger a racist with racism(unlikely), who do you think that racist is going to take it out on…? Because I’m going to guess this young lady has never had to physically defend themselves from an actual racist.

                Do you not see the irony of posting a video that defines race as a reality and then justifies it to children?

                What is the definition of a white person? A European, a pale person, any specific ethnicity? Does it have to do with genetics, culture, or historical cotext… No, it’s an ever changing classification system whose only purpose is dehumanization and establishing hierarchy.

                There are more genetic variables between African tribes located 100k away from each other than there is outside of all of Africa. Yet because they produce varying degrees of melanin, an entire continent is just labeled as black?

                It’s perplexing how adamant people who self identify as white refuse to believe that the idea of race is a fabricated modern concept. The west is the only place on earth I’ve heard people utilize a color in place of their ethnicity. Not only will they identify as a color, but will implicitly categorize others as colors as well. Oh you’re from Kenyan? Well you’re black now, welcome to America.

                  Race is a social construct, but racism is not.

                  I’ll tell all my friends who participated in the Black Lives Matter protests that racism is over, because some dude on the internet called it.

                    Race is a social construct, but racism is not.

                    Right, how does justifying racism by participating in it help your friends who went to the black lives matter protest?

              You forgot the part where she says, “even though underrepresented groups have told us that Project 2025 has been in motion since the 70’s and 80’s. And they already experience fascism under Biden.”
