    Cultures are meant to be shared, not owned. Claiming cultures based on races is racist because it's segregation. Our history has shown that time and time again. Jackie Robertson and Eminem can both speak for that. Culture appropriation is just a fancy word for segregation.

    are we blaming stupid ppl for being stupid or smart people for playing stupid?

    • @ekenejae
      @ekenejae 5 месяцев назад

      It has nothing to do with intelligence, in my opinion. The behavior is abusive, and there should be some accountability.

    • @Tsuenciaga
      @Tsuenciaga 5 месяцев назад

      @ekenejae ok I'm understanding your POV, but can I ask what "accountability" looks like in your ideal world? All men as a whole change one accord? The good men learn from the bad ones? Or Fixing the bad ones?

    • @ekenejae

      @Tsuenciaga 5 месяцев назад

      @ekenejae ok yeah that's great but what does it look like?

    • @ekenejae
      @ekenejae 5 месяцев назад

      If people are abusive, then obviously, they should not be in a relationship. If they continue the behavior after the first instance, there should be social penalties. First, an intervention. Second, bring in therapy and social work. Third, we should have an institution dedicated to behavioral reform. Not incarnation but a halfway house focusing on integration and social skills/emotional regulation. There can be more serious consequences depending on the severity of the offense. This is pretty bare bones but acceptable. This should be the model for consequences in general

    This is such a great nuanced take! i definitely do think parents can be codependent, in fact i feel MOST parents are codependent just because of the nature of parenting and their own upbringing. i think it can be really tempting for an adult (of ANY kind, not just parents) to try and micromanage every facet of a child’s life, because we think we only want what’s best for the kid (but more realistically we probably just want the control we can have over another human). It’s tempting to see children about to make a mistake and correct them before it happens, but really the kid learns more through doing than listening. I also think it’s pretty socially acceptable for parents to essentially infantilize their kid forever, which, like you said, accidentally makes their children internalize these feelings and, by the time they get to adulthood, makes them feel totally inferior. Parenting is in my opinion one of the hardest things to do and I totally understand the commitment it takes to parent a child, but some people mistake keeping their kid in line with good parenting.

    • @ekenejae
      @ekenejae 9 месяцев назад

      I completely agree! It's for sure a process that most people don't realize the amount of emotional, financial, and social input. Many parents project your standard onto their children without even realizing it. So as every day calm from the child grows and changes its scares them because it's not the person that they planned the child to be. Honestly, it's really sad because this behavior keeps pushing the kid away, but they don't realize it. Children aren't robots nor dress up dolls they're tiny people. Parents need to recognize that!

    Omg i feel too seen rn 😭 im a queer white woman and you are 100% correct on that read. Also from a self-hating baptist household! I struggle with a lot of internalized sexism, homophobia, racism as that was embedded in the family culture... not to mention the generational trauma lol. I have said some S T U P I D shit in my life trying to prove that i wasnt like my family lol... or to make myself feel more at ease when i didnt understand that it came at cost to others. I didnt realize that things like respectability politics, denegrating other queer or marginalized experiences to make my own feel more legitimate, didnt accomplish that goal and only isolated me from diversity and love that i actually needed! Not only that, but i was isolating others from the love i could give if only i could set aside my own bullshit long enough lol. The reality i came to realize in early adulthood is that being white at least provided some layer between me and the meat grinder that is Other People At Scale, but being neurodivergent and queer and poor made me more exposed. And it would be disingenuous of me to assign pride on myself for the privileges afforded to me by whiteness. I dont know how to be a good person or an ally or anything else really but at least i know better than to stop analyzing at the first "satisfactory" answer, to be comfortable with challenging myself and being challenged. Thanks for ur video ❤

    If being a feminine woman wasn't for you, why did you think hypergamy is something you should look to? No shade but I'm genuinely curious. Also I think women need to return to focusing on females again. This inclusivity stuff is setting women's rights back. We can't even fight for abortion rights because we cannot say it's a woman's issue. Males are taking scholarships and prize money(which females only get 1% of anyway) from women and girls. Finally many of those types of women are not interested in helping them out in making more men bisexual but call themselves straight. I think you may be too young to remember how the DL epidemic made BW STD rates double. It's just not as simple as you say. Anyway I really like your hair style.

    I was scrolling past a popular black instagram account and they posted a video of someone interacting with an indigenous person- meant to be a post about black + indigenous solidarity in Canada (im canadian myself so it was easy for me to digest), but so many of the comments acted like Indigenous people don't have their own histories and oppression, and were saying things like "black people are the real/only Indigenous ones" and using outdated/racist terminology like :/ It sucks that some people can't understand that other groups face oppression

    • @ekenejae
      @ekenejae 10 месяцев назад

      It's a totally lack of empathy on that end. Oppression is not a competition. That's why solidarity and intersectionality are important. We should support not tear each other down and create echo chambers of hate. Sadly, that's not what's popular nor what wins out.

    “Naegaboo” lolz. Nah seriously though, it seems to me that we black people appropriated the n-word from red necks. I don’t say it but it’s ok if others say it; it’s not our word. But that’s also why it benefits us most to get our identity from our ancient Hebrew ancestors. Modern culture is ephemeral and useless. But our identity in the Messiah, as proven by leaders like Harriet Tubman, Ella Baker, etc is our only true source of power. “I am black and beautiful.” - Song of Solomon 1:5 🙏🏾✝️🕎
