Dear reader: if you happen to be in search of education on orientalist and Edward Said I would not recommend this video due to the lecturer saying that calling is n0t real g 3 nocy dl is such an unfair oversimplification and then I didnt finish the last bit bc he started talking about how Africa needs to acknowledge the good things that European colonisation brought. This is so funny tho bc he حط السم فالعسل as he is praising Said for being a moderate that wouldn’t stand modern leftists the whole video. This is the same as the white washing of the image of MLK as any of his values that don’t fit the current narrative (emphasising that he was nonviolent when he did condone it in resistance, on,y showing the I have a dream speech and none of the other more radical ones.) Beware.
