as someone who is gay, I totally agree with the things Alex says! I will support an individual for who they are, not just based on the group they happen to be in
@ Nolan as a Christian I support you god knows who’s Christian or not You be you and I hope you have god in your heart if not that’s okay to just so you know god loves you
I honestly feel like I should shout about how bi I am just to be treated better, now it feels like the norm is to support minorities and take revenge on some cis or white people that did nothing wrong
You two are so spot on today. I would never discuss sex, gender, my genitals, etc. with children. 1. It's not your business who I sleep with. 2. It's not your business what's in my pants. 3. I don't care who you sleep with. Stop talking about it.
Man, when I was a kid I thought the teacher lived at school and had no idea they were even married, let alone what they did that weekend. They never talked about it.
@@oneesan9298 agree, lol ... I mostly remember my teachers as subjects, like I know their faces and what subject they handle, so in my thought I think of them like Mrs. Math, Sir. English etc...
I knew a teacher who was a lesbian (or bi or something, she was in a relationship with a woman) and she never mentioned it to the kids. She taught the kids, and thats it. Loved her very much, she was a good teacher, she only ever mentioned she was in a same sex relationship casually to the other teachers. Not even to the volunteer assistants (who were around 14-17). Its not exactly difficult to be a lesbian and teach without letting your sexuality influence your classes.
i had a teacher this year who is lesbian and would talk abt her wife and all this and that but couldn’t sing kumbaya my lord cuz it might offend someone bffr
One of my former students was homosexual; the ONLY reason he ever said anything about it was because my predecessor had harassed him about the fact. We very quickly came to a peaceful and mutually comfortable relationship. He was a fabulous young man and very charismatic in a total theater kid way. He also helped me stand by my belief that I do not have to agree with the agenda as a whole in order to care for the individuals. Someone who feels they have to act out and make sure people know they are X Y or Z, are seeking attention, not recognition.
In fact I'm gonna even had, I had straight teacher for years but they where teacher, I've never heard about their boyfriend/husband whatever cause they are teacher not there to talk about their relationships.
A teacher's sexuality should never be a part of the classroom. There have to be boundaries. Students don't need to know if their teacher is straight, gay, getting a divorce, cheated on, etc.
I had a lesbian Lady as a Co worker... Best colleague I ever had. I found out about it like a few months after she started working there. Very chill, relaxed. I dare even say in some ways more of a dude than some dudes I know. Finding out she was lesbian changed absolutely NOTHING to our dynamic and it was great. I wish such a logical thinking would be the approach these teachers take too... Cause let's be honest... The pride flag plastered all over a classroom and the teacher openly preaching about that has no place in the classroom unless it's sex ed.
"If 5 year-olds can use the right pronouns then adults should be able to," makes the same amount of sense as, "children believe in Santa, how dare adults claim he isn't real!"
I was the asshole that adults would tell other adults "get her away from me" for saying people had to be a boy or a girl cause those were the options 😂 I asked one lady when i was like 6 how transgender worked (back when it was just men and women) and she looked to my mom to say i was disrespectful and full of hate like bro what 🤣🤣
Teacher can have pride flags plastered all over their classrooms but God forbid they try to bring a Bible or pray in class and they would be fired. The double standard is disgusting
Used to be liberal, but started questioning so many things after I decided to take a look on the 'other' side of the fence. I'm more centrist now, and cannot stand the woke left, what an embarrassment... And you are correct, social media has definitely played a huge part in all this garbage 🤔
Far leftism is a negative feedback loop why would any sane person spend there whole day being mad at things they can’t change they don’t realise that the world will not change for them and bend to their will they need serious guidance and help
I’m glad you finally opened your eyes and came around, but still think it says something about you, that you’d ever be an “extreme leftist”… makes me wary that both of you are 1-2 “bad decisions” away from going back
i think they mean that the fact you switched sides easily especially since you where an extreme leftist means that ur probably easily influenced or persuaded and that u could be persuaded to join the left again @@matchacakes9223
the way people are acting with the “black owned business” thing is like when a toddler makes a bad drawing but the parents say that it’s good because they don’t wanna hurt their feelings.
💀 as a black woman I agree. And it's just as patronizing. Like why tf would you come to my business ONLY because I'm black, it's a slap in the face. I want to know if my product is good, not if my skin makes it good.
@@Royalty_girlie thank you for saying what 99% of Black people think, it should be based on the fact that you have an awesome product, great customer service, character over color
@@bytchesagainstbullshyt6984 and it's crazy because the same people that say this will also quote Martin Luther King knowing full well that's the exact opposite of what he's saying. I understand he concept of keeping the black dollars valuable but don't patronize black owners.
@@Royalty_girlie I would think they would want it to be on their own merit, it's degrading to have someone support you just because of the color of your skin, I certainly don't want people doing something for me because they feel sorry for me, rather that they respect and value me, we need to get rid of this narrative because it breeds self doubt, low self esteem, low self worth, instead we need to promote the heck out of and reward businesses that do outstanding and acknowledging without any specification of color that they are a business to support, it would inspire everyone to strive harder to be the best, we have to stop giving participation trophies
I don’t shop at any business that markets itself as a black business. What that tells me is they don’t like white people and I may not be treated well as a customer. I don’t care who owns the business. But if they are telling me that skin color matters to them and I don’t have the right skin color, I assume they don’t want my business. So I take my business elsewhere.
As someone who is in between left and right and part of the gay community I got second hand embarrassment from the second vid. Like just be you it doesn’t need to be spoken about 24/7
used to be liberal but find myself agreeing more with conservatives. Im still on the fence as I disagree with a lot of things, so i’ll give it a couple years to see where I land
was always independant, somewhere inbetween, never voted left except for Obama and i was young, i also now agree a lot with the right, voted for Trump, will do it again in 2024.. but i will never be a conservative, thats for sure, just because i reject the Left doesnt make me a super conservative, i dont quite trust them either and i see a lot of people that say that because the Left has become insane now they are conservative and i dont get it really, i also see some similarities they have with the Left like they talk about critical thinking, having your own opinion blablabla but as soon as you dont think the same as them...Omg, its insults, its mockery, for them i Feel having your own opinion is actually having the same opinion they do, so...
Stay in the middle please!!! They want us to be on one side or the other, so that the other side can be the evil one when really the evil one is the people that run this world!!
As someone from Australia I get confused by Asian people talking about white privilege. Asian people here are richer, more educated, own more property and are considered upper-class than any other demographic. While I have concerns about Chinese investments in Australia, I have no problem with Asian people here being at the top. Good on them, they worked for it!
not sure they always work for it if they got there off the back of exploiting southeast Asians and other minority groups in China, but agree with the first sentiment.
where i live in America Asian ppl are usually the very successful people... not saying they don't exp.but racism but they are the richest and well respected in their careers.
One of my students once asked me what it meant to be gay. What I told them was that it's usually when men date other men and that if they wanna know more they better ask their parents. Then I notified all the parents whose kids were involved in the conversation that they need to talk about this with their kids. Cause it wasn't my place to go into details.
@@pekkapekka7220 Yeah, maybe your right, maybe I don't know english better than you but as a lesbian I can confidently say that it is Lesbian and not 'gay woman' although 'gay women' is said quite often by straight people.
Ugh so my mom is an Argentine immigrant so clearly I’m Hispanic. Yes I pass as white, that doesn’t mean anything to my actual ethnicity. I was named a National Hispanic Scholar and am extremely blessed to be so. This extremely woke girl in my class said I “wasn’t Hispanic enough” to be named that. BRUH THE WOKE HAVE GOTTEN SO WOKE THAT THEY AREN’T EVEN WOKE ANYMORE!!!!!
I am in the same situation as you, my mothers parents were Sephardic Jews yet Woke scum at my work dismiss me as "White" I have citizenship in Israel and I am thinking of going back and leaving USA forever.
@@aharonwhitman9488 I’m Jewish on my mom’s side as well!! Sephardic on my grandma’s side and Ashkenazi on my grandpa’s. My mom struggled a lot through high school coming to terms with being Hispanic because she didn’t look it and had a Turkish last name. I am proud of my heritage.
@@Patrick3183 I’m talking about my skin color? And Argentine people are still Hispanic. That’s what I’m arguing. That just because I don’t look “conventionally Hispanic,” my heritage isn’t negated. I grew up in Arizona so compared to those of Mexican descent, I didn’t “look Hispanic.” Why is this something you chose to disagree with someone on?
I had a science teacher in 9th grade who gave us all A TEST ON HER. That was GRADED. We had to know her fucking cats name, the year she was married. I failed that test and she asked if we just "didnt care" about her. Like no. Not at all, i came here for science not your lifes story.
When I was in my early teens I liked going to the park nearby with my headphones on and listen to music on the swings. It was kind of a time to gather my thoughts and decompress. I knew I was bi, but I didn't really tell anyone, didn't care to, to be honest. One day this person comes up behind me and sits on the swing next to me. We're alone as I usually went to the park when children weren't already there. (Didn't want to worry about them running in front of me or potentially taking up a spot they would like.) Without prompting and obviously seeing my headphones on my head this person starts talking to me. They're about my age at the time, 14 or 15. I wasn't raised to be rude so I greeted them back. They asked me my preferred pronouns, which was a bit strange for me as I hadn't been asked this before. I answered she/her as I am a girl. They then go on to explain their ENTIRE identity to me. Telling me they were a transgender nonbinary pansexual who might be on the asexual spectrum. This took at least ten whole minutes of labels and their definitions (despite my already knowing them). And let me remind you that I didn't ASK. When they got around to directing the conversation back to me. The only question they asked was if I was part of the LGBTQ+ community. If asked today, I would say no, even though I do identify as bi. But not wanting to make things awkward I just said yes. They asked me my labels which really is such a strange thing to ask someone you've just randomly approached on a swing set in a deserted park. Not asking why I've come to this place or what I like to do here. Not asking about my grade or school or any other thing we could have possibly related to about each other considering how close in age we were. No, this was diversity checklist time. I told them the plain truth of it. That I was bi and what followed was this weird pause, like I was meant to go further with it. Like what do you expect of me? Why does it matter at all who I'm attracted to? It was ridiculous. I have friends in uni and at work now who I get along just fine with. They're not homophobic or anything that would make it difficult to tell them about my sexuality, but why would they need to know it in the first place, right? If I get into a relationship with a woman and we get onto the subject of romance or dating then yeah, if they ask, I'll tell, but no one NEEDS to know. Being bi does not make me special. Being gay or trans or straight or white or black or indigenous does not make someone special. It's the person that does that, not the color or identity.
Me and my boyfriend were introducing ourselves to some new neighbors, the response was hi my name is blank and these are my pronouns but I prefer this one over this one. It was as if the name of this person was just some wasted information. Another old group of friends, one would ask identity every day. It’s not something I constantly think about as it’s not the important parts of myself. It’s really off putting and I’m so unsure how to act in these situations anymore.
I support a local business that happens to be owned by a black man. But I support his business because he has a killer product line not because he's black. If he were chartreuse and had the same quality products I wouldn't be supporting him because he's chartreuse, I'd be supporting him because his products are excellent. His prices are premium but so is the quality.
Exactly! Our favorite local BBQ joint is black owned. We didn't go because of that! And actually didn't know the owners until we went in to try it for lunch.
Yelp shows "Black Owned Businesses." One gourmet bakery has a picture of a slice of cheesecake...all these thin layers of cheesecake with chocolate & caramel in between. It looks *a m a z i n g* ...Not wanting my liberal friends and coworkers to judge me for pigging out, I figure I'll tell everyone I'm only buying their cheesecake just because I want to support a Black-owned business 😉
Same! As a curly haired girl, own a lot of products that are "black owned" but because they are just actually good and IDC what the race of the owners is lol
I will never use pronouns for someone who makes a big deal about it. I will only refer to that person by their name. So if John's pronouns don't match what John looks like I will only refer to John as John. I hope John likes to hear John's name and I kinda feel like John does, because John has to be a narcissist. 🤷♀️😁
Agreed. It just sucks when the name isn’t John.. Something complicated and or a name that can be used both ways. Then it really short circuits my brain.
@@thekingman5971 I didn't even think of that! I'm thankful for living in an area where this hasn't happened to me yet. I think if it was a difficult name to say maybe asking the person to repeat it a few times as you also say it might be helpful? I wish that people weren't so self focused and were able to see that personal pronouns really don't matter. I've taken to calling anyone "hun" instead of sir or mam or miss in case I get a leftie out to take me down as an "evil white karen" I'm sure that will ruffle feathers though at some point!
We had a teacher at my old school get fired for being too invested in teenage boy’s love lives and flirting with them… why is nobody else getting fired for the same shit?
I remember in 4th grade when my mom forced me to where some “black girl power” or smth shirt to school and I was absolutely miserable. It made me so uncomfortable I just wanted to roll up in a ball & cry. One of my friends even jokingly said “what about white girl power?” And I was still so embarrassed that I couldn’t do anything but awkwardly say “haha idk ehhh”. I absolutely hate those shirts. I don’t just wanna be a “black girl” because , y’know, I have a soul and identity other than “black” and “female”?! Diminishing a person down solely to their gender and race is so dehumanizing and invalidating it makes me sick.
You know, the whole not hiring weird looking people to be teachers actually makes a lot of sense. Back when teachers were more sensible, those were the same times when businesses said that you couldn't be employed if you had unnatural hair colors, piercings, or tattoos. Now, they're like, "Oh, you have full body tattoos, shaved green hair, and fifteen centimeter gauged ears? Sure! Come on in and trans the kids. We don't mind!" (And I'm sure someone will get mad at me for saying people with unnatural hair colors, piercings, and tattoos are weird, so let me just say this; I have tattoos and piercings. And there is a big line between using those mediums to turn your body into a work of art and disfiguring it in a display of insanity. Big, BIG difference.)
I died my hair blue for Halloween one year.... dark blue looked good on me. Never expected to be hired anywhere while I had it though.... now have my natural colour, my tattoos are easily hidden and not shown off and some piercings (1 nose stud, 4 in each ear).... despite how much I liked my blue hair, I will NEVER dye my hair an unnatural colour ever again because of these woketards
Supporting the idea of "i look however i want" is straight up stupid in bussines. There are no shortcuts around this truth. You have to follow the standarts or no one will take you seriously.
I was in private school online (I’m now 35) so I never dealt with gender or race baiting. My 4yo son is in a preschool where I trust the teachers, but after preschool he’s going unschooled. My daughter (14) was the girliest girl until about 6 months ago and she stumbled upon the massive TikTok trend of gender ideology and out of nowhere she claimed non binary and gets 14k likes in a day (she normally got 5 or 6 likes) but I can tell you she doesn’t understand what it means, she says the words but the meaning is gone.
I hope your daughter is able to come back around. My sister claimed to be trans years ago and it felt like I lost my only sibling, wishing this does not happen to you ❤️
This happened to my younger half sister... girliest girl ever, then BAM, out of nowhere suddenly trans. Whenever my dad or anyone would ask simple questions like "why do you feel this way, when did you start feeling like this?" She would FREAK OUT and throw the word transphobe at them. She went completely off the deep end... left to live with her mom who dove right in and without any questioning cut her hair off, changed her name and clothes and started her on puberty blockers at 14. This kid who was once happy is now medically fucking up her body and su!c!dal when she used to be happy and an average pre-teen girl. Encourage your daughter to love herself as she is and tell her that a woman can be and dress however she wants and still be a woman! Good luck.
@@luciacerna8279 she is claiming non-binary/lesbian/pansexual… which means she’s more confused than I previously thought. Her mother is 100%on board with changing her name, top surgery and cross-sex hormones. I however think it will absolutely ruin her life and the regret will be too much for her.
Saying you aren't attracted to other people as an "eff-you" in response to other people not being attacted to you is the equivalent of "you can't fire me, because I quit"
I support myself, & you support yourself. Now that's equity. We all breathe air, need shelter, clothing, and food. Now that's equality. I'm a legal, Hispanic immigrant who identifies with SANITY!!!
The first one is really hitting that “y’all” thing pretty hard. I’ve noticed that a lot of leftists like to use that contraction when they’re being condescending. It’s not part of their normal dialect and they don’t use it the way that people who grew up using it as a natural part of their speech use it. I don’t know how other people feel about it but I find it very irritating and it seems like cultural appropriation to me. I was glad to hear Alex Pierce comment on it.
Same with President Healing and Unity saying 'it ain't fair' in his State of the Union address. To paraphrase Pulp, they want to be like common people like you.
@@pillaygabrielle4450 it's not strictly southern. A lot of folks in the Midwest use it as well. I think it's origin is more from a rural standpoint. I've been saying y'all my whole life and I didn't grow up in the south.
@@redheadedrogue I think you're right about the rural origin thing. What I think the leftist use comes from is their demonization of "you guys" as a gender-non-inclusive phrase. I've actually sat through corporate training telling me to abandon "you guys" in favor of "everyone," "folks," and "y'all." Someone in one of the trainings pointed out thay both "folks" and "y'all" have particular associations in America and that it felt like appropriation to start using them. The presenters had no idea what to say, stumbled for a second and then told people just to stick with "everyone."
I actually turned off social media for two whole months and received such relief from that. Stress from so much negativity being shown was lifted off my shoulders, ghastly images that crowded my mind were gone, and I also felt free from loads of pressure that was on my mind. Believe me, just turning off the media for a while does, in fact, help.
It's an excellent question - why ARE they hiring people that look like that in schools? Every single place I have worked has had a strict dress code. No weird hair colors, no visible tattoos and piercings (usually fudgable), traditional haircuts, and uniforms. My teachers didn't wear suits or anything, but they always looked like they could go straight to church after class. I'm all for self expression, but when I was in school not even the kids could have pink hair. My sister got sent home because of that once, and was out for three days because she didn't want to fry her hair. It was considered a distraction, and they sent you home until you fixed it. I'm just saying. Now there's that crazy man in Canada teaching kids with DDDD boobs complete with nipples bigger than his students actual faces. 😳 Why is it so terrible to just act like an adult?
I have only met one person in my whole life who claimed to be asexual, but she was a 19-year-old girl who was not the pretty girl in high school, was bullied and therefore spent all of her free time on tumblr (this was the mid 2010s). Let me tell you, this girl developed crushes on any guy who had eye contact with her for more than a second in college! She then started saying she was demi-sexual instead. Maybe some people genuinely are asexual, but I don’t trust when young people say they are when they have not experienced life yet. As soon as this girl left her tiny town where everybody were mean to her, she started feeling attraction to men
I agree, I once saw this girl online who was 14 saying she was asexual 14! When I was that age I hadn't even started developing thoughts and feelings like those, let alone wanting that with someone I'm still figuring it out as I'm in my early 20s I wanted to shake her and tell her it was normal, our society is so hypersexulized it's impossible for kids to develop it naturally
Honestly i dont think asexual exists. I think its an excuse for people who aren’t confident enough or are tk insecure to feel like they have a reason to be alone, you definitely have the ability to not want to date anyone or marry, but that doesn’t mean you are asexual. Even though im gay its tiring that everything has to have a sexuality and a flag. How i see it you are either gay lesbian bisexual or trans
@@adrian44321 I feel you. I don’t know what I believe about asexuality, but I definitely agree about the stupid labels and flags for every single thing. I myself am bi, and I have never been more offended than when a woke friend asked me about the colors of the bi flag. I didn’t even know there was one and I made it clear I was not interested and couldn’t care less about having a flag for something as unimportant as my sexuality
@@emelyblixt4172 i agree i think one flag is all we need, when everything needs a flag it’s suffocating and its selfish, where were all the flags years ago when only bi trans gay and lesbian existed? There was only the rainbow one and that was all we needed
@@adrian44321 and they’re so unnecessary. The whole point of the rainbow flag was about ALL sexualities, not just gay. What is wrong with something all encompassing?
At 23, three years ago, I started getting stressed out, because I've never been in love with anyone, even though I'm a super helpless romatic. I even tried dating apps. Then I started to google if there's a psychological reason and stumbled upon aromantic and I was like yeah, THAT'S me! Half a year later I finally met someone who I fell head over heals for. Turned out my inner child had some healing to do and that man kind of resembled my dad, but a better version (and yes, it freaked me out after I realized it). He was someone I would've needed as a child - as girl who had to learn what a healthy relationship is. We didn't date, but we had very good conversations. He listened, he remembered, he built me up, he encouraged me, he unknowingly made me heal. After that it felt like a curse was taken off of me. To summarize: I wasn't dealing with me being aromantic, I was actually dealing with anxiety, scared of commitment, selfworth problems and a lack of security in my childhood, especially from my dad's side. Or to say it differently: daddy issues and depression. My inner child is mostly good now and I fell in love with someone else, who doesn't remind me of my dad. I fell for him, because of him. So yeah, instead of putting a name on everything try to psychologically understand WHY you do or don't feel a certain way. Because I've seen many people in the internet feeling uncomfortable or even ashamed after they realized it was actually something totally different they dealt with. I shared a lot of aromantic content on Tumblr, because the community was pretty small three years ago. Now when I see someone reblogging my stuff today I feel like a hypocrite.
Thank you for sharing this, this is exactly what I've been saying. Being aromatic/asexual, or any "other" label isn't normal, nor is it just who someone is. It's usually trauma, and almost everyone has some sort of attachment trauma from their parents. The good news is anyone can work through it and heal from it.
I feel like I had a similar experience. I didn't want to get into a relationship because I didn't want to go through the process of ending it and the second a guy started signaling he wanted to get physical, I ran the other direction. I finally fell head over heels for someone and I magically had a libido. I definitely feel it was a mixture of anxiety and knowing they weren't someone I wanted to be with permanently.
I just like how someone who is as bullshity as you just assumes that all ace people have/ had trauma. That's just not true. So every gay was abused by a woman so they just like men? Also loving someone because they are like your dad just sounds wrong and not like loving, it's just daddy issues.
Hi! Jane here. I'm a 64 yr old gramma, and you are right on target gals about our society. Back in the 90s my husband and I homeschooled 7 of our 8 children and they thrived. Children need to have a foundation of truth so they can steer their way through the muck of society. Back in the 70s a company designed a doll named Sacha. She was supposed to represent the mixing of races that was anticipated. She was a beautiful little doll. In reference to that brave new gender the person was talking about, all these gender declarations do not produce joy in the lives of these people, and that's sad. I can't wait till this little train runs out of steam.
I'm not Asian, but I have an Australian friend from Korea and she gets called a "banana" when she's with her Asian non english speaking friends! It blows my mind. It reminds me of an episode where Amala said she was called an Oreo (White on the inside and brown on the outside) To myself a white woman, I find this extremely racist. How do you guys feel about it? I'd love to know.
As an Asexual, I often wonder why people keep making other forms of Asexuality... Like, it's either (yes) or (no)...or perhaps (maybe), if you are the kind of person who doesn't want that, but doesn't know whether or not they'll be willing to do _that_ for their spouse in the future.
@@avocado2567 Asexuals: A-sexuals. It's literally in the name. If we seriously rope dating preferences into it, it's no longer about sexuality now is it? No shade, just explaining.
Im asexual and the ace Comunity make me cringe, saying that you can be a sexual person and still be asexual, the growing umbrella nonense, ugh, what about the original meaning of being asexual?, your intimacy issues doesnt make you asexual
Schools in my area have a teacher shortage. I imagine part of the issue is that some schools need teachers so badly that they can't afford to have higher standards.
My elementary music teacher is gay. I was in fourth grade when I found out. You wanna know how I found out? His daughter told me she has two dads. He never talked about. Now there were rainbows in his classroom but they weren’t pride flags they were rainbows with unicorns cuz he liked unicorns. We didn’t need a safe space with him cuz we were 6-12 year away olds. Shocking I know.
I don’t understand why Alex is here though. She was saying about people being a character but she looks like it too. And actually I do believe it was rude to say that the girl wasn’t assexual because she is fat like…im not a leftist just don’t understand
I teach at a high school. I was happily surprised to hear a large majority of HS students say they hate all this BS. And, this school district is supposedly "porgressive."
Years ago I worked at a call center and we serviced many businesses. I often had Black people call up just to find out if whoever they called was a black owned business. Most of the time I didn’t know and I even asked a woman what difference does it matter? I told her I don’t call places and ask if you’re white owned businesses so I just don’t get it. I think she was taken back because she could not give me an answer. Here’s the thing. If you have to advertise being a black owned business or a woman owned business your product is not very good. OK teaching children that they them is proper English is not a service to them. If you are an English teacher how can you do this with a good conscious. I lived through the 60s and I have never seen so much prejudice and racism as I do from non-white people today. Is it a jealousy thing because we invented most modern inventions that make your life comfortable? Is it jealousy or envy? I have to wonder. OK she is a queer teacher. I would never have known with the pink hair and half a shaved head. That was a shocker.
@Michael Newell You are missing something in your history lessons, please go immediately to your library or the net and see the inventions io Black people. Back during slavery, the colonizers took credit since the enslaved were considered property. Top 10 Inventions by Black Inventors: 1. Mailbox (1891) - Phillip Downing As a solution to visiting the post office every time he wanted to mail a letter, Downing invented the first outdoor mailbox that featured a hinged door that kept the letters secure but also kept out rain and snow. Downing also has a patent for improvements on the Street-Railway System allowing them to switch automatically. 2. Traffic light (1922) - Garrett Morgan Morgan was an extremely accomplished inventor and is most notable for his invention of the gas mask in 1912 and the three-light traffic system in 1922. After watching firefighters struggle in smoke, Morgan designed a device that used a wet sponge to filter out smoke and cool the air. It also featured a breathing tube that dangled near the floor which took advantage of the ‘clean air’ near the ground as the smoke would rise. Morgan witnessed a serious traffic accident that inspired him to update the way traffic lights alerted drivers the light was going to turn red. The two-light system only featured a red and green light, while Morgan filed a patent for the yellow “warning” light in 1922. His inventions are still used to this day and have helped save countless lives. 3. Automatic Gear Shift (1932) - Richard Spikes Richard Spikes was a Texas-born barber, schoolteacher, musician, businessman and inventor. Spikes received the patent for his automatic gear shifter in 1932 and it was quickly welcomed by major vehicle companies. He then focused his energy on improving the automatic braking system until 1962 Spikes holds several American patents including a beer tap, the billiard cue rack, horizontally swinging barber chair, vehicle turn signals and the automatic gear shifter. 4. Clothes Dryer (1892) - George T. Sampson Sampson developed the first automatic clothes dryer that used a series of suspension rods over a specifically designed stove to dry clothes. His design was used up until the late 1930s when the use of gas and electric dryers began. Prior to his invention, clothes were hung over the top of an open flame but often left clothing with the smell of smoke. 5. Automatic Elevator Doors (1887) - Alexander Miles It is believed that Miles came up with the inspiration for the automatic elevator doors after watching his daughter Grace suffer a life-threatening injury when she fell down an elevator shaft. The elevator doors prior were opened either by patrons or a dedicated operator but the open shaft often lead to horrific accidents. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007. 6. Folding Chairs (1889) - John Purdy Classified as a camp, traveling, or sports stool, John Purdy and Daniel Sadgwar made significant improvements to the folding chair making it extremely portable. 7. Gas Heating Furnace (1919) - Alice H. Parker Inspired by the ineffectiveness of her fireplace during cold New Jersey winters, Parker invented a heating system that drew in cold air and conveyed the heat through a heat exchanger. During her time most buildings were heated with coal or wood. While her invention was not the first gas patent, it was the first to feature individually controlled air ducts that transferred heat to different parts of the building Parker and her patents are mentioned in the “Black Women in America: Historical Encyclopedia”. 8. Golf Tee (1899) - George Grant Not only did George Grant create an “improved golf tee” made out of rubber and wood, but he was also a dentist and became the first African American to become a professor at Harvard University. 9. Modern Toilet (1872) - Thomas Elkins In 1872 Elkins invented the “Chamber Commode,” which is essentially a toilet that featured a mirror, bookrack, washstand, table and easy chair. 10. Home Security Systems (1966) - Mary Van Brittan Brown Brown along with her husband Albert Brown, an electrician, invented the first home security system in 1966 as a solution to the high crime rate they experienced in the neighborhood of Queens, New York. Her invention used three peepholes to help her see through the door, a camera that could adjust from each peephole, a microphone system that allowed her to communicate with visitors, a remote control that allowed her to unlatch the door and a button that would contact the police if necessary. Her invention paved the way for modern video monitoring, remote-controlled locks, push-button alarms, instant messaging to security providers and two-way voice communication. Bonus: Pacemaker (1964) - Otis Boykin Boykin has patented 26 devices but is best known for his electronic control devices used in guided missiles, IBM computers and the pacemaker. His inventions were inspired by the death of his mother Sarah after she suffered heart failure when he was just one year old. Also look up Henrietta Lacks, even though she died in 1951, she left behind a legacy that still helps us out today.
As someone who is studying linguistics (hopefully majoring soon), they/their/them is acceptable only when you don't know whether said person is a man or a woman. Ex. Someone forgot their bag. Of course the alternative his/her is also correct, but they/their/them is sometimes is more immediate, and thus sometimes preferred in actual speech by speakers. However, the whole "non-binary" they/them is bullshit. This purely contemporary idea that you can make up whatever new words and pronouns you want and people have to adapt to them is crazy and is against the very nature of language. By definition, language is a part of culture, a SHARED concept within a community. It is not and cannot ever be individual (Wittgenstein docet). We are able to communicate because we share a code (the language we speak) and the mental schemata rooted in our culture. Either this knowledge is shared or communication is inefficient. Full stop. You can make a whole new language yourself, of course, but don't expect everyone else to speak it. J.R.R. Tolkien didn't expect anyone else to speak random Elvish languages he made up. I just hope future linguistics books won't include this non-sense language the wokeists are making up. Language is such a complex thing to study. You realize that it's a perfect means of communication (to be honest, the only one we have to actually transmit knowledge and form a tradition (from Latin tradere = to transmit!) that has been perfected for centuries and centuries and that its efficacy is due to its development starting from what humans' cognitive perception of the world is. Every animal is either male or female. Humans have empirically observed this in reality and processed it in their minds, then transferred it into language. Yes, some languages (Russian, German, Latin, Romanian, ancient Greek, etc.) have a neuter GRAMMATICAL gender in order to have systematic, regular rules in grammar which have been regrouped into groups of declination, again, in the course of centuries, NATURALLY, not because someone imposed it, but these languages do not use the neuter to refer to people. Linguists who actually use this argument to push these neo-pronouns have understood absolutely nothing about language, etymology, philology, philosophy of language, historical linguistics and many other linguistic disciplines. Language develops naturally, it is not imposed. Imposing certain language rules is utterly useless, history has taught us. Some may argue that there are languages with even more genders, such as Bantu languages, but that again is not a valid argument, as those genders are, again, GRAMMATICAL genders, not stuff like cakegender and other bullshit, and are mostly used to refer to objects and abstract notions, they could be compared to what we call "classifiers" in languages such as Chinese and Japanese (ex. long objects, short objects, time, flowers, wide objects, etc.) Sorry for the rant 😂😂
I usually enjoy Amala's videos but I really struggle with HRH Collection. She said people don't want her to speak but I don't understand if she contiously chooses this this type of approach to get a reaction or if she is just clueless. I once took a critical thinking course at University and I remember that one of the main takeaways was that the worst argument you can have is to criticize the other person on a personal level rather than responding to what they are saying. I feel like Alex should take that course as well. She may have an opinion you agree with and after five seconds say the meanest thing you could ever say.
I don’t know what has happened in the last 10 years, because just 9 years ago before I had kids, I still worked in two schools and was a para-professional for special Ed in a public charter school and dress code for teacher hires was strictly (at both schools) no unnatural hair colors and no facial piercings or visable tattoos. So when I see these people, I’m like when the heck did this change!?? I can’t imagine going in for a parent-teacher conference and this being the teacher… no way in hell.
Kind of sad that Lizzo straight up said she isn’t into making music for white people. I mean it shouldn’t matter, be grateful for fans no matter what because they got you where you are.
I wish I had that so called white privilege...can't remember having that privilege after having a stroke and lost my home and everything in it and got told I wasn't sick enough to get help and also...wait for this one...I was the wrong ethnicity and wrong religion to get rehoused...that really blows my mind...
My work told me "we don't need any white men in senior positions. You already run the world, we don't need you oppressing us here". The same boss once called me ugly and stupid in a room of colleagues. I'm the senior engineer. I do all the training, all the escalations. I'm the lowest paid. There are 2 WOC paid more than me. When I asked why I was told "it's a sexist racist stereotype to ask why women particularly those of colour receive a better wage". No management type training for me either. Apparently I don't have the right skillset even though I've managed a team of 5 in the past. The 2 WOC are in training for it I'm told. My boss is female. Blatant biggotry
@@stefaniamorelli9919 I live in the UK here and they use a points based system to determine if people get social housing or not. Being female or being black nets you points (as does being disabled, old etc). Most homeless people are white men as a result. If it were the other way round it would be unacceptable. I was homeless and got spit on and denied housing. I had to get a job and work my behind off. The majority of people I live around now are unemployed, get state benefits and their social housing is free. Some of them are addicted to hard drugs and so get priority access to medicine, free prescriptions and hundreds of pounds every week because it's a disability. My next door neighbour (a marked crack house) gets £1600 a month, free local taxes, free rent. I work 45hrs and get £1630 but I have to pay rent, taxes etc. At one point he had a gov provided car via the motobility scheme (free to him). Poor working people are discriminated against worse than any other group black or white man or woman.
Thank you both for calling out the hypocrisy of the "black owned business" and all of the other things. I constantly roll my eyes when I see the signs, the raise up black creators things, etc. Why does everything have to be segregated based on color? All that's doing is furthering the divide. I am with these two ladies that when I see those things, I walk away and avoid the channels, businesses, etc. Stop calling out race!!
5-7 year olds do not understand the pronoun, noun, verb parts of sentences. They are JUST starting to learn that in Kindergarten. As a Pre-K teacher I don’t understand how they find the time to teach that between regular curriculum and dealing with COVID and learning deficits. Seems like they are taking the “dramatic play” section and really going overboard with it. AND now I can’t dye my hair fun colors because I’ll be pinned for a woke person. Ugh
I honestly had a hard time talking to my own kids before they were 14. I have daughters. I taught them to not let people touch anything you wear over, in a bathing suit . thighs count too even knees. Except me with the knees. I'm mama and I can't make you jump if i want too lol
I used to be a teacher and I’m a lesbian, if my kids in my class asked me if i have a boyfriend or husband (cause kids do ask stuff like that) I’d just say ‘no I don’t’ that was the only answer I’d give Myself being a lesbian would NEVER be said in my classroom
The cupiosexual reaction was so hilarious that I come back to this video whenever I feel down to cheer myself up. Thank you guys for giving us hope, knowledge and an opportunity to laugh altogether.
That video actually makes me really uncomfortable to the point of almost feeling sick...and I'm bisexual and supposedly am supposed to like it. But if it makes people happy to be able to laugh at it then it's served some purpose.
Same-How you think I feel? Lol Im asexual and seeing this makes us look crazy lol Don’t call yourself asexual just caz no one wants to have sex with you lol 😂 I love how they nailed it
god i love Alex, im so excited to see her come into the conservative sphere. she's always been very free-thinking and carefree about people getting offended, and i think her conservative fiance also helped push her further our way. i am HERE for it
I know a guy who was bullied into being trans, everyone would hit him and say “your so weird your not like us your different than us, you act like a girl”. That is so messed up and I feel so bad for him.
I gotta say, I wish that the co-host would've let Amala talk more. I wanted to hear the points she was making, but she could never finish her sentence.
As a teacher who looks quite a lot like the “creature teacher” near the end of this video (purple hair, and no facial piercings, but I have visible tattoos), I have an answer to the shouted question “why are they hiring teachers that look like this?” - the private Christian school I work at hired me because I love Jesus, am passionate about seeing children develop as compassionate and considerate citizens of the world, and want to help them grow in their knowledge of God. 😘
I went to rehab when I was 17, I was already in a program where I was phoneless for over a year so I had zero grasp on how “woke” the world was. I was admitted and signed myself in, I was still terrified, I got sat down into this circle of 15 other girls. And get this. The first thing they ask me are my pronouns, not my name or how I was feeling after this massive life adjustment. I’m sitting there exhausted after a long night in the hospital. I say “I’m sorry I’m confused. What?” They say “What do you identify as? You don’t know your pronouns??” I go “Huh? I’m a girl. My name is Julia, I’m confused, do we all get asked this?” They go “Okay that’s your name and you can say you’re a girl but what are your PRO-NOUNS.” And said it slowly as if I don’t understand English. I was like “Dude I’m a 17 year old girl I’m lost rn I’m whatever pronouns correspond to women” Just comes to show that when someone is taken out of this bubble for long enough, the things people say or treat as normal are truly mind boggling to hear
You know I’ve noticed a common theme on the left when it comes to their TikTok & videos. Just as this second video has stated “I’m glad you asked”, nobody actually asked them. The left just open their mouth and let’s every ounce of crazy out, and then they get upset when people are like “OK you’re crazy I’m gonna stay away from you now” or we make fun of them, which makes them cry. I have a secret for the left, because clearly they just can’t pick up what we’re laying down. People stay away from you because you let all your crazy out every day. Instead of having self control and self-discipline. And then expect everybody to want to or have to clean it up.

I'm 24 going on 25 in December and I had a trans history teacher. Male to female and everyone accepted her simply because she had no agenda. It was an adult decision made by someone well over 30 years. She only openly expressed this her new lifestyle mainly to old and new students during transition. I started my freshman year and she was already transitioned by this point. I highly respect that teacher simply because her being trans was as normal as someone being Straight, Gay or Lesbian. She taught history very well and even had amazing vivid and real stories of a a family member in France during the war against the nazis. Only trouble I had in her class was fairly on me in a sense. I have tourretes so my meds would cause me to fall asleep easy but even so I passed all my tests and quizzes I basically argued I'm still passing tho 😂. But fr this type of content is necessary to show these aren't attacks on the modern trans and lgbtq community but more so keeping people in touch with reality
Happy birthday fellow December '97! I relate very much, I miss the days when you met someone unique and thought "Wow, they probably overcame a lot of things, that's admirable." No, now people yell to the whole world how great and brave they are every five minutes.
I got a short haircut about a year ago, and as a girl with a short haircut, I was constantly told "oh, it's okay if you're not a girl", "we'll use your preferred pronouns" etc. and I began to think I was nonbinary- BUT I started watching your channel and all I have to say is thank you so much for saving me from that *dark* place, haha
I object to this woman saying white people are spoiled. Excuse me. My mother was a waitress and supported 6 kids with her tips. When she made good tips, we ate good. When she didn't make very much in tips, well, there wasn't as much food. Try having catsup sandwiches for lunch. I worked hard for every thing I've gotten out of life. Her comment was racist.
Yeah I just made sure again, it seems like she did but she said “white people… we are so spoiled in the us” I think she was about to start a sentence with “white people” but then regrouped and started a new sentence, idk tho lol
and they think its ok to not let wites in school forcing whites to be homeschooled or turn to crime and reuslting in white students developing a hatred or minorites and wanting to persecute and kill minorities
@@vera4308 at 2:36 in the program the woman definitely said, "white people, we are so spoiled." Regardless of what she meant to say, that is what she said. I love listening to Ms. Ekpunobi and her programs, but she and her producers let all of us down when this was allowed to air.
Thank you ladies, this is so confusing why someone would act this way about race. They are the ones causing their own problems and issue based lives. That teacher should not be a teacher. I am so glad my kids are older and are not subject to this BS in school. Oh, and yes I share your videos with them. Thank you again ladies for this video.
Someone has implied to me that I'm racist because I don't check to see an author's race before starting a book. And they got offended that me, as someone living outside the US, don't care or subscribe to black history month. Like, wtf? Some people are SO self-centered and obsessed with skin color.
@@hannahgolden She is very good at calling out shit in a clear productive way. I think its imperative for younger women to be a voice now more than ever. To see that makes me thrilled. Her and Brett Cooper are doing amazing things for the next gen.
"If 1-2 years old can poop in their diapers, adults can too". Is there a simpler way to tell these people that it's not that adults CAN'T? It's that they WON'T, they DO NOT want to. It's like they are adults but they do not understand basic human functioning
You don’t need a gay flag and rainbow shirt to tell your kids you’re a safe space, the best thing you can do to check in for any reason is to tell them they can come to you for anything. Do weekly check ins. My teachers do that and it seriously makes me feel welcomed. I’m not gay or anything, and not a lot of kids are, so I think it may be a coincidence that the teachers who are shoving sexuality down their kids throats are the ones who have all the gay students. You don’t need to check in on someone’s sexuality, you need to check in on their mental health.
it really is lonely kids who just want somewhere to belong, and society brainwashes them and that woman is totally a groomer, how has she been hired as a teacher?? It's terrifying, my children will never go to public school on another note, you look very nice today Amala
I am so thankful I dodged this weird mess throughout all of my schooling. I was able to go about my day normally and focus on topics that actually made sense for the most part.
I'm a normal looking, conservative, white female teacher. And oddly enough, none of my students are afraid to talk to me. I have gay and trans students who feel comfortable talking to me about anything and everything. Black students feel comfortable talking to me. I don't have any rainbows in my class, no blm flags, yet the students still feel like I am a safe person to talk to.
as someone who is gay, I totally agree with the things Alex says! I will support an individual for who they are, not just based on the group they happen to be in
Agreed
@ Nolan as a Christian I support you god knows who’s Christian or not You be you and I hope you have god in your heart if not that’s okay to just so you know god loves you

You two are so spot on today. I would never discuss sex, gender, my genitals, etc. with children.

Man, when I was a kid I thought the teacher lived at school and had no idea they were even married, let alone what they did that weekend. They never talked about it.
@@beforethereign3925 we didn't even know our teachers' first names lol
@@oneesan9298 agree, lol ... I mostly remember my teachers as subjects, like I know their faces and what subject they handle, so in my thought I think of them like Mrs. Math, Sir. English etc...

Jesus do you seriously think that this is what actual sex education is about?
I knew a teacher who was a lesbian (or bi or something, she was in a relationship with a woman) and she never mentioned it to the kids. She taught the kids, and thats it. Loved her very much, she was a good teacher, she only ever mentioned she was in a same sex relationship casually to the other teachers. Not even to the volunteer assistants (who were around 14-17). Its not exactly difficult to be a lesbian and teach without letting your sexuality influence your classes.
i had a teacher this year who is lesbian and would talk abt her wife and all this and that but couldn’t sing kumbaya my lord cuz it might offend someone bffr
One of my former students was homosexual; the ONLY reason he ever said anything about it was because my predecessor had harassed him about the fact. We very quickly came to a peaceful and mutually comfortable relationship. He was a fabulous young man and very charismatic in a total theater kid way. He also helped me stand by my belief that I do not have to agree with the agenda as a whole in order to care for the individuals. Someone who feels they have to act out and make sure people know they are X Y or Z, are seeking attention, not recognition.
In fact I'm gonna even had, I had straight teacher for years but they where teacher, I've never heard about their boyfriend/husband whatever cause they are teacher not there to talk about their relationships.
A teacher's sexuality should never be a part of the classroom. There have to be boundaries. Students don't need to know if their teacher is straight, gay, getting a divorce, cheated on, etc.
I had a lesbian Lady as a Co worker... Best colleague I ever had. I found out about it like a few months after she started working there. Very chill, relaxed. I dare even say in some ways more of a dude than some dudes I know. Finding out she was lesbian changed absolutely NOTHING to our dynamic and it was great. I wish such a logical thinking would be the approach these teachers take too... Cause let's be honest... The pride flag plastered all over a classroom and the teacher openly preaching about that has no place in the classroom unless it's sex ed.
"If 5 year-olds can use the right pronouns then adults should be able to,"
makes the same amount of sense as, "children believe in Santa, how dare adults claim he isn't real!"

I don’t shop at any business that markets itself as a black business. What that tells me is they don’t like white people and I may not be treated well as a customer.

As someone from Australia I get confused by Asian people talking about white privilege. Asian people here are richer, more educated, own more property and are considered upper-class than any other demographic. While I have concerns about Chinese investments in Australia, I have no problem with Asian people here being at the top. Good on them, they worked for it!
They didn’t work for it, they’re born into wealth
not sure they always work for it if they got there off the back of exploiting southeast Asians and other minority groups in China, but agree with the first sentiment.

Narcissists choose a medical career or an educational career, most of the time.
When I was in my early teens I liked going to the park nearby with my headphones on and listen to music on the swings. It was kind of a time to gather my thoughts and decompress. I knew I was bi, but I didn't really tell anyone, didn't care to, to be honest.
One day this person comes up behind me and sits on the swing next to me. We're alone as I usually went to the park when children weren't already there. (Didn't want to worry about them running in front of me or potentially taking up a spot they would like.)
Without prompting and obviously seeing my headphones on my head this person starts talking to me. They're about my age at the time, 14 or 15. I wasn't raised to be rude so I greeted them back. They asked me my preferred pronouns, which was a bit strange for me as I hadn't been asked this before. I answered she/her as I am a girl. They then go on to explain their ENTIRE identity to me. Telling me they were a transgender nonbinary pansexual who might be on the asexual spectrum. This took at least ten whole minutes of labels and their definitions (despite my already knowing them). And let me remind you that I didn't ASK.
When they got around to directing the conversation back to me. The only question they asked was if I was part of the LGBTQ+ community. If asked today, I would say no, even though I do identify as bi. But not wanting to make things awkward I just said yes.
They asked me my labels which really is such a strange thing to ask someone you've just randomly approached on a swing set in a deserted park. Not asking why I've come to this place or what I like to do here. Not asking about my grade or school or any other thing we could have possibly related to about each other considering how close in age we were. No, this was diversity checklist time.
I told them the plain truth of it. That I was bi and what followed was this weird pause, like I was meant to go further with it. Like what do you expect of me? Why does it matter at all who I'm attracted to? It was ridiculous.
I have friends in uni and at work now who I get along just fine with. They're not homophobic or anything that would make it difficult to tell them about my sexuality, but why would they need to know it in the first place, right? If I get into a relationship with a woman and we get onto the subject of romance or dating then yeah, if they ask, I'll tell, but no one NEEDS to know. Being bi does not make me special. Being gay or trans or straight or white or black or indigenous does not make someone special. It's the person that does that, not the color or identity.
You have a really engrossing writing style. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! What an odd experience!
Me and my boyfriend were introducing ourselves to some new neighbors, the response was hi my name is blank and these are my pronouns but I prefer this one over this one. It was as if the name of this person was just some wasted information. Another old group of friends, one would ask identity every day. It’s not something I constantly think about as it’s not the important parts of myself. It’s really off putting and I’m so unsure how to act in these situations anymore.
i feel the exact same way. im bi but i never felt the need to "come out" or tell ppl unless it was relevant in the conversation or someone asked.
I really, really appreciate these two women's honesty in a world of censorship and cancel culture.
Get off of twitter and smell the fresh air then.
You need to appreciate a dictionary
@@MrShanester117 Why
I support a local business that happens to be owned by a black man. But I support his business because he has a killer product line not because he's black. If he were chartreuse and had the same quality products I wouldn't be supporting him because he's chartreuse, I'd be supporting him because his products are excellent. His prices are premium but so is the quality.
Exactly! Our favorite local BBQ joint is black owned. We didn't go because of that! And actually didn't know the owners until we went in to try it for lunch.
I love Carol’s Daughter , not because it’s a “black owned business” but because it’s a legitimately good brand and products
Yelp shows "Black Owned Businesses." One gourmet bakery has a picture of a slice of cheesecake...all these thin layers of cheesecake with chocolate & caramel in between. It looks *a m a z i n g* ...Not wanting my liberal friends and coworkers to judge me for pigging out, I figure I'll tell everyone I'm only buying their cheesecake just because I want to support a Black-owned business 😉
Same! As a curly haired girl, own a lot of products that are "black owned" but because they are just actually good and IDC what the race of the owners is lol
I will never use pronouns for someone who makes a big deal about it. I will only refer to that person by their name. So if John's pronouns don't match what John looks like I will only refer to John as John. I hope John likes to hear John's name and I kinda feel like John does, because John has to be a narcissist. 🤷♀️😁
😅😅😄
Agreed. It just sucks when the name isn’t John.. Something complicated and or a name that can be used both ways. Then it really short circuits my brain.
@@thekingman5971 I didn't even think of that! I'm thankful for living in an area where this hasn't happened to me yet. I think if it was a difficult name to say maybe asking the person to repeat it a few times as you also say it might be helpful? I wish that people weren't so self focused and were able to see that personal pronouns really don't matter. I've taken to calling anyone "hun" instead of sir or mam or miss in case I get a leftie out to take me down as an "evil white karen" I'm sure that will ruffle feathers though at some point!
That’s what I do whenever possible. It’s really helped me because I’m bad at remembering names.
I do the same thing.
There are a few generations who never heard “life isn’t fair” and “ the world doesn’t revolve around you” and it shows 🤦🏽
I 100% agree with both of you. It is disgusting of what this generation has become.

We had a teacher at my old school get fired for being too invested in teenage boy’s love lives and flirting with them… why is nobody else getting fired for the same shit?
Alex doing content with other people is always so surprising 💀
she's funny as hell so it makes it entertaining lol
I love seeing people my age realizing that just because someone believes something doesn’t mean that everyone else has to believe in it.
How do you fight racism with the same tactics old school racists used?

I grew up in the Southeast and it’s ironic that the same bs is still being promoted by Democrats. It’s just changed groups.
I remember in 4th grade when my mom forced me to where some “black girl power” or smth shirt to school and I was absolutely miserable. It made me so uncomfortable I just wanted to roll up in a ball & cry. One of my friends even jokingly said “what about white girl power?” And I was still so embarrassed that I couldn’t do anything but awkwardly say “haha idk ehhh”. I absolutely hate those shirts. I don’t just wanna be a “black girl” because , y’know, I have a soul and identity other than “black” and “female”?! Diminishing a person down solely to their gender and race is so dehumanizing and invalidating it makes me sick.
Oh god that’s awful
That sucks you were forced to wear something you didn’t want to wear. Hope you’re having a good day!
Thats humiliating.. Im black and i think thats so wrong to basically brand your child on your beliefs
@@adrian44321 exactly. We are not billboards!
You know, the whole not hiring weird looking people to be teachers actually makes a lot of sense. Back when teachers were more sensible, those were the same times when businesses said that you couldn't be employed if you had unnatural hair colors, piercings, or tattoos. Now, they're like, "Oh, you have full body tattoos, shaved green hair, and fifteen centimeter gauged ears? Sure! Come on in and trans the kids. We don't mind!"
(And I'm sure someone will get mad at me for saying people with unnatural hair colors, piercings, and tattoos are weird, so let me just say this; I have tattoos and piercings. And there is a big line between using those mediums to turn your body into a work of art and disfiguring it in a display of insanity. Big, BIG difference.)
I died my hair blue for Halloween one year.... dark blue looked good on me. Never expected to be hired anywhere while I had it though.... now have my natural colour, my tattoos are easily hidden and not shown off and some piercings (1 nose stud, 4 in each ear).... despite how much I liked my blue hair, I will NEVER dye my hair an unnatural colour ever again because of these woketards
Supporting the idea of "i look however i want" is straight up stupid in bussines. There are no shortcuts around this truth. You have to follow the standarts or no one will take you seriously.
Well said
'Trans the kids" Okay.
Agreed! I personally think that dying your hair is fine and that having blue hair won't hurt anyone, but how some of the teachers look now is insane 😭
I was in private school online (I’m now 35) so I never dealt with gender or race baiting. My 4yo son is in a preschool where I trust the teachers, but after preschool he’s going unschooled. My daughter (14) was the girliest girl until about 6 months ago and she stumbled upon the massive TikTok trend of gender ideology and out of nowhere she claimed non binary and gets 14k likes in a day (she normally got 5 or 6 likes) but I can tell you she doesn’t understand what it means, she says the words but the meaning is gone.
I hope your daughter is able to come back around. My sister claimed to be trans years ago and it felt like I lost my only sibling, wishing this does not happen to you ❤️
@@road5477 thank you. I’m hoping all this goes away. This is not harmless, it is physically and mentally harming these children.
Hey, just checking how is your daughter doing? Sending loads of love
This happened to my younger half sister... girliest girl ever, then BAM, out of nowhere suddenly trans. Whenever my dad or anyone would ask simple questions like "why do you feel this way, when did you start feeling like this?" She would FREAK OUT and throw the word transphobe at them. She went completely off the deep end... left to live with her mom who dove right in and without any questioning cut her hair off, changed her name and clothes and started her on puberty blockers at 14. This kid who was once happy is now medically fucking up her body and su!c!dal when she used to be happy and an average pre-teen girl. Encourage your daughter to love herself as she is and tell her that a woman can be and dress however she wants and still be a woman! Good luck.
@@luciacerna8279 she is claiming non-binary/lesbian/pansexual… which means she’s more confused than I previously thought. Her mother is 100%on board with changing her name, top surgery and cross-sex hormones. I however think it will absolutely ruin her life and the regret will be too much for her.
Saying you aren't attracted to other people as an "eff-you" in response to other people not being attacted to you is the equivalent of "you can't fire me, because I quit"
“Why is she saying yall? That’s a white word” bro I love her 💀
I support myself, & you support yourself. Now that's equity. We all breathe air, need shelter, clothing, and food. Now that's equality. I'm a legal, Hispanic immigrant who identifies with SANITY!!!
Yhats equality
Unfortunately, many people act like over grown children and want mommy and daddy and/or the government supply their every need.
transgender is supposed to mean transitioning to a male or a female not 50,000 things inbetween. saying there’s only two genders is not transphobic.
The first one is really hitting that “y’all” thing pretty hard. I’ve noticed that a lot of leftists like to use that contraction when they’re being condescending. It’s not part of their normal dialect and they don’t use it the way that people who grew up using it as a natural part of their speech use it. I don’t know how other people feel about it but I find it very irritating and it seems like cultural appropriation to me. I was glad to hear Alex Pierce comment on it.
Same with President Healing and Unity saying 'it ain't fair' in his State of the Union address.
To paraphrase Pulp, they want to be like common people like you.
I agree.
Southern dialect has long been appropriated southern people are the coolest Americans
@@pillaygabrielle4450 it's not strictly southern. A lot of folks in the Midwest use it as well. I think it's origin is more from a rural standpoint. I've been saying y'all my whole life and I didn't grow up in the south.
@@redheadedrogue I think you're right about the rural origin thing. What I think the leftist use comes from is their demonization of "you guys" as a gender-non-inclusive phrase. I've actually sat through corporate training telling me to abandon "you guys" in favor of "everyone," "folks," and "y'all." Someone in one of the trainings pointed out thay both "folks" and "y'all" have particular associations in America and that it felt like appropriation to start using them. The presenters had no idea what to say, stumbled for a second and then told people just to stick with "everyone."
I actually turned off social media for two whole months and received such relief from that. Stress from so much negativity being shown was lifted off my shoulders, ghastly images that crowded my mind were gone, and I also felt free from loads of pressure that was on my mind. Believe me, just turning off the media for a while does, in fact, help.
It's an excellent question - why ARE they hiring people that look like that in schools? Every single place I have worked has had a strict dress code. No weird hair colors, no visible tattoos and piercings (usually fudgable), traditional haircuts, and uniforms. My teachers didn't wear suits or anything, but they always looked like they could go straight to church after class. I'm all for self expression, but when I was in school not even the kids could have pink hair. My sister got sent home because of that once, and was out for three days because she didn't want to fry her hair. It was considered a distraction, and they sent you home until you fixed it. I'm just saying. Now there's that crazy man in Canada teaching kids with DDDD boobs complete with nipples bigger than his students actual faces. 😳
Why is it so terrible to just act like an adult?
“Skin color does not matter!”
This is undoubtedly the truest thing I’ve heard all year.
I have only met one person in my whole life who claimed to be asexual, but she was a 19-year-old girl who was not the pretty girl in high school, was bullied and therefore spent all of her free time on tumblr (this was the mid 2010s).
Let me tell you, this girl developed crushes on any guy who had eye contact with her for more than a second in college! She then started saying she was demi-sexual instead.
Maybe some people genuinely are asexual, but I don’t trust when young people say they are when they have not experienced life yet. As soon as this girl left her tiny town where everybody were mean to her, she started feeling attraction to men
I agree, I once saw this girl online who was 14 saying she was asexual
14!
When I was that age I hadn't even started developing thoughts and feelings like those, let alone wanting that with someone
I'm still figuring it out as I'm in my early 20s
I wanted to shake her and tell her it was normal, our society is so hypersexulized it's impossible for kids to develop it naturally
Honestly i dont think asexual exists. I think its an excuse for people who aren’t confident enough or are tk insecure to feel like they have a reason to be alone, you definitely have the ability to not want to date anyone or marry, but that doesn’t mean you are asexual. Even though im gay its tiring that everything has to have a sexuality and a flag. How i see it you are either gay lesbian bisexual or trans
@@adrian44321 I feel you. I don’t know what I believe about asexuality, but I definitely agree about the stupid labels and flags for every single thing.
I myself am bi, and I have never been more offended than when a woke friend asked me about the colors of the bi flag. I didn’t even know there was one and I made it clear I was not interested and couldn’t care less about having a flag for something as unimportant as my sexuality
@@emelyblixt4172 i agree i think one flag is all we need, when everything needs a flag it’s suffocating and its selfish, where were all the flags years ago when only bi trans gay and lesbian existed? There was only the rainbow one and that was all we needed
@@adrian44321 and they’re so unnecessary. The whole point of the rainbow flag was about ALL sexualities, not just gay. What is wrong with something all encompassing?
I've been homeschooled my whole life, one of the biggest thing im thankful of my parents for.
I'm grateful that I'm not in public school anymore because of what's in these schools. It's horrifying.
At 23, three years ago, I started getting stressed out, because I've never been in love with anyone, even though I'm a super helpless romatic. I even tried dating apps. Then I started to google if there's a psychological reason and stumbled upon aromantic and I was like yeah, THAT'S me!
Half a year later I finally met someone who I fell head over heals for. Turned out my inner child had some healing to do and that man kind of resembled my dad, but a better version (and yes, it freaked me out after I realized it). He was someone I would've needed as a child - as girl who had to learn what a healthy relationship is. We didn't date, but we had very good conversations. He listened, he remembered, he built me up, he encouraged me, he unknowingly made me heal. After that it felt like a curse was taken off of me.
To summarize: I wasn't dealing with me being aromantic, I was actually dealing with anxiety, scared of commitment, selfworth problems and a lack of security in my childhood, especially from my dad's side. Or to say it differently: daddy issues and depression.
My inner child is mostly good now and I fell in love with someone else, who doesn't remind me of my dad. I fell for him, because of him.
So yeah, instead of putting a name on everything try to psychologically understand WHY you do or don't feel a certain way. Because I've seen many people in the internet feeling uncomfortable or even ashamed after they realized it was actually something totally different they dealt with. I shared a lot of aromantic content on Tumblr, because the community was pretty small three years ago. Now when I see someone reblogging my stuff today I feel like a hypocrite.
Thank you for sharing this, this is exactly what I've been saying. Being aromatic/asexual, or any "other" label isn't normal, nor is it just who someone is. It's usually trauma, and almost everyone has some sort of attachment trauma from their parents. The good news is anyone can work through it and heal from it.
I feel like I had a similar experience. I didn't want to get into a relationship because I didn't want to go through the process of ending it and the second a guy started signaling he wanted to get physical, I ran the other direction. I finally fell head over heels for someone and I magically had a libido. I definitely feel it was a mixture of anxiety and knowing they weren't someone I wanted to be with permanently.
I agree that people shouldn't hang on labels too tightly. However, some certainly are aro or ace without having any trauma.
I just like how someone who is as bullshity as you just assumes that all ace people have/ had trauma. That's just not true. So every gay was abused by a woman so they just like men? Also loving someone because they are like your dad just sounds wrong and not like loving, it's just daddy issues.
Alex is not that annoying in this video. I've always agreed with her opinions, just not the sound of her voice.
Hi! Jane here. I'm a 64 yr old gramma, and you are right on target gals about our society. Back in the 90s my husband and I homeschooled 7 of our 8 children and they thrived. Children need to have a foundation of truth so they can steer their way through the muck of society. Back in the 70s a company designed a doll named Sacha. She was supposed to represent the mixing of races that was anticipated. She was a beautiful little doll.
In reference to that brave new gender the person was talking about, all these gender declarations do not produce joy in the lives of these people, and that's sad. I can't wait till this little train runs out of steam.
I'm not Asian, but I have an Australian friend from Korea and she gets called a "banana" when she's with her Asian non english speaking friends! It blows my mind. It reminds me of an episode where Amala said she was called an Oreo (White on the inside and brown on the outside) To myself a white woman, I find this extremely racist. How do you guys feel about it? I'd love to know.

As an Asexual, I often wonder why people keep making other forms of Asexuality... Like, it's either (yes) or (no)...or perhaps (maybe), if you are the kind of person who doesn't want that, but doesn't know whether or not they'll be willing to do _that_ for their spouse in the future.
I dont understand as an apothi either, demisexual experiences sound like regular allosexual experiences ngl.
@@saumyavig8964 or it's like forming normal relationships you don't instantly become segsually attracted to ppl lol
Asexual is just not wanting to have sex .The other things people claim as Asexual these days are just some dating preferences.
@@avocado2567 Asexuals: A-sexuals. It's literally in the name. If we seriously rope dating preferences into it, it's no longer about sexuality now is it?
No shade, just explaining.
When I get older, I dont want people going to my bakery because I'm Mexican, I want them coming there because I make good food lol
“I’m gonna say it. She’s fat and no one wants her” ☠️☠️☠️☠️ she really played that whole persons existence😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Im asexual and the ace Comunity make me cringe, saying that you can be a sexual person and still be asexual, the growing umbrella nonense, ugh, what about the original meaning of being asexual?, your intimacy issues doesnt make you asexual
"you're a.... Unwanted beast" 🙈 I'm dead
Schools in my area have a teacher shortage. I imagine part of the issue is that some schools need teachers so badly that they can't afford to have higher standards.
Where ?
I live in Virginia
My elementary music teacher is gay. I was in fourth grade when I found out. You wanna know how I found out? His daughter told me she has two dads. He never talked about. Now there were rainbows in his classroom but they weren’t pride flags they were rainbows with unicorns cuz he liked unicorns. We didn’t need a safe space with him cuz we were 6-12 year away olds. Shocking I know.
I don’t understand why Alex is here though. She was saying about people being a character but she looks like it too. And actually I do believe it was rude to say that the girl wasn’t assexual because she is fat like…im not a leftist just don’t understand
I teach at a high school. I was happily surprised to hear a large majority of HS students say they hate all this BS. And, this school district is supposedly "porgressive."
Years ago I worked at a call center and we serviced many businesses. I often had Black people call up just to find out if whoever they called was a black owned business.
Most of the time I didn’t know and I even asked a woman what difference does it matter? I told her I don’t call places and ask if you’re white owned businesses so I just don’t get it. I think she was taken back because she could not give me an answer.
Here’s the thing. If you have to advertise being a black owned business or a woman owned business your product is not very good.
OK teaching children that they them is proper English is not a service to them. If you are an English teacher how can you do this with a good conscious.
I lived through the 60s and I have never seen so much prejudice and racism as I do from non-white people today. Is it a jealousy thing because we invented most modern inventions that make your life comfortable? Is it jealousy or envy? I have to wonder.
OK she is a queer teacher. I would never have known with the pink hair and half a shaved head. That was a shocker.
@Michael Newell You are missing something in your history lessons, please go immediately to your library or the net and see the inventions io Black people. Back during slavery, the colonizers took credit since the enslaved were considered property.
Top 10 Inventions by Black Inventors:
1. Mailbox (1891) - Phillip Downing
As a solution to visiting the post office every time he wanted to mail a letter, Downing invented the first outdoor mailbox that featured a hinged door that kept the letters secure but also kept out rain and snow.
Downing also has a patent for improvements on the Street-Railway System allowing them to switch automatically.
2. Traffic light (1922) - Garrett Morgan
Morgan was an extremely accomplished inventor and is most notable for his invention of the gas mask in 1912 and the three-light traffic system in 1922.
After watching firefighters struggle in smoke, Morgan designed a device that used a wet sponge to filter out smoke and cool the air. It also featured a breathing tube that dangled near the floor which took advantage of the ‘clean air’ near the ground as the smoke would rise.
Morgan witnessed a serious traffic accident that inspired him to update the way traffic lights alerted drivers the light was going to turn red.
The two-light system only featured a red and green light, while Morgan filed a patent for the yellow “warning” light in 1922.
His inventions are still used to this day and have helped save countless lives.
3. Automatic Gear Shift (1932) - Richard Spikes
Richard Spikes was a Texas-born barber, schoolteacher, musician, businessman and inventor.
Spikes received the patent for his automatic gear shifter in 1932 and it was quickly welcomed by major vehicle companies. He then focused his energy on improving the automatic braking system until 1962
Spikes holds several American patents including a beer tap, the billiard cue rack, horizontally swinging barber chair, vehicle turn signals and the automatic gear shifter.
4. Clothes Dryer (1892) - George T. Sampson
Sampson developed the first automatic clothes dryer that used a series of suspension rods over a specifically designed stove to dry clothes. His design was used up until the late 1930s when the use of gas and electric dryers began.
Prior to his invention, clothes were hung over the top of an open flame but often left clothing with the smell of smoke.
5. Automatic Elevator Doors (1887) - Alexander Miles
It is believed that Miles came up with the inspiration for the automatic elevator doors after watching his daughter Grace suffer a life-threatening injury when she fell down an elevator shaft.
The elevator doors prior were opened either by patrons or a dedicated operator but the open shaft often lead to horrific accidents.
He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007.
6. Folding Chairs (1889) - John Purdy
Classified as a camp, traveling, or sports stool, John Purdy and Daniel Sadgwar made significant improvements to the folding chair making it extremely portable.
7. Gas Heating Furnace (1919) - Alice H. Parker
Inspired by the ineffectiveness of her fireplace during cold New Jersey winters, Parker invented a heating system that drew in cold air and conveyed the heat through a heat exchanger.
During her time most buildings were heated with coal or wood. While her invention was not the first gas patent, it was the first to feature individually controlled air ducts that transferred heat to different parts of the building
Parker and her patents are mentioned in the “Black Women in America: Historical Encyclopedia”.
8. Golf Tee (1899) - George Grant
Not only did George Grant create an “improved golf tee” made out of rubber and wood, but he was also a dentist and became the first African American to become a professor at Harvard University.
9. Modern Toilet (1872) - Thomas Elkins
In 1872 Elkins invented the “Chamber Commode,” which is essentially a toilet that featured a mirror, bookrack, washstand, table and easy chair.
10. Home Security Systems (1966) - Mary Van Brittan Brown
Brown along with her husband Albert Brown, an electrician, invented the first home security system in 1966 as a solution to the high crime rate they experienced in the neighborhood of Queens, New York.
Her invention used three peepholes to help her see through the door, a camera that could adjust from each peephole, a microphone system that allowed her to communicate with visitors, a remote control that allowed her to unlatch the door and a button that would contact the police if necessary.
Her invention paved the way for modern video monitoring, remote-controlled locks, push-button alarms, instant messaging to security providers and two-way voice communication.
Bonus:
Pacemaker (1964) - Otis Boykin
Boykin has patented 26 devices but is best known for his electronic control devices used in guided missiles, IBM computers and the pacemaker.
His inventions were inspired by the death of his mother Sarah after she suffered heart failure when he was just one year old.
Also look up Henrietta Lacks, even though she died in 1951, she left behind a legacy that still helps us out today.
Great sarcasm 😄
Even my ultra liberal sister can't do "they/them" because she's an English prof 🙃
You lived through the 60s as a white person so no you never faced racism
As someone who is studying linguistics (hopefully majoring soon), they/their/them is acceptable only when you don't know whether said person is a man or a woman. Ex. Someone forgot their bag. Of course the alternative his/her is also correct, but they/their/them is sometimes is more immediate, and thus sometimes preferred in actual speech by speakers. However, the whole "non-binary" they/them is bullshit. This purely contemporary idea that you can make up whatever new words and pronouns you want and people have to adapt to them is crazy and is against the very nature of language. By definition, language is a part of culture, a SHARED concept within a community. It is not and cannot ever be individual (Wittgenstein docet). We are able to communicate because we share a code (the language we speak) and the mental schemata rooted in our culture. Either this knowledge is shared or communication is inefficient. Full stop. You can make a whole new language yourself, of course, but don't expect everyone else to speak it. J.R.R. Tolkien didn't expect anyone else to speak random Elvish languages he made up. I just hope future linguistics books won't include this non-sense language the wokeists are making up. Language is such a complex thing to study. You realize that it's a perfect means of communication (to be honest, the only one we have to actually transmit knowledge and form a tradition (from Latin tradere = to transmit!) that has been perfected for centuries and centuries and that its efficacy is due to its development starting from what humans' cognitive perception of the world is. Every animal is either male or female. Humans have empirically observed this in reality and processed it in their minds, then transferred it into language. Yes, some languages (Russian, German, Latin, Romanian, ancient Greek, etc.) have a neuter GRAMMATICAL gender in order to have systematic, regular rules in grammar which have been regrouped into groups of declination, again, in the course of centuries, NATURALLY, not because someone imposed it, but these languages do not use the neuter to refer to people. Linguists who actually use this argument to push these neo-pronouns have understood absolutely nothing about language, etymology, philology, philosophy of language, historical linguistics and many other linguistic disciplines. Language develops naturally, it is not imposed. Imposing certain language rules is utterly useless, history has taught us. Some may argue that there are languages with even more genders, such as Bantu languages, but that again is not a valid argument, as those genders are, again, GRAMMATICAL genders, not stuff like cakegender and other bullshit, and are mostly used to refer to objects and abstract notions, they could be compared to what we call "classifiers" in languages such as Chinese and Japanese (ex. long objects, short objects, time, flowers, wide objects, etc.)
Sorry for the rant 😂😂
I usually enjoy Amala's videos but I really struggle with HRH Collection. She said people don't want her to speak but I don't understand if she contiously chooses this this type of approach to get a reaction or if she is just clueless. I once took a critical thinking course at University and I remember that one of the main takeaways was that the worst argument you can have is to criticize the other person on a personal level rather than responding to what they are saying. I feel like Alex should take that course as well. She may have an opinion you agree with and after five seconds say the meanest thing you could ever say.
I would love to take a critical thinking course! What university did you attend if you don’t mind me asking?

I don’t know what has happened in the last 10 years, because just 9 years ago before I had kids, I still worked in two schools and was a para-professional for special Ed in a public charter school and dress code for teacher hires was strictly (at both schools) no unnatural hair colors and no facial piercings or visable tattoos. So when I see these people, I’m like when the heck did this change!?? I can’t imagine going in for a parent-teacher conference and this being the teacher… no way in hell.
Kind of sad that Lizzo straight up said she isn’t into making music for white people. I mean it shouldn’t matter, be grateful for fans no matter what because they got you where you are.
Woah when did she say that
I literally lost my appetite from the cupiosexual person. Had to stop eating lmao😭
I wish I had that so called white privilege...can't remember having that privilege after having a stroke and lost my home and everything in it and got told I wasn't sick enough to get help and also...wait for this one...I was the wrong ethnicity and wrong religion to get rehoused...that really blows my mind...
My work told me "we don't need any white men in senior positions. You already run the world, we don't need you oppressing us here". The same boss once called me ugly and stupid in a room of colleagues. I'm the senior engineer. I do all the training, all the escalations. I'm the lowest paid. There are 2 WOC paid more than me. When I asked why I was told "it's a sexist racist stereotype to ask why women particularly those of colour receive a better wage". No management type training for me either. Apparently I don't have the right skillset even though I've managed a team of 5 in the past. The 2 WOC are in training for it I'm told. My boss is female. Blatant biggotry
@@jakien I feel you
@@stefaniamorelli9919 I live in the UK here and they use a points based system to determine if people get social housing or not.
Being female or being black nets you points (as does being disabled, old etc). Most homeless people are white men as a result. If it were the other way round it would be unacceptable. I was homeless and got spit on and denied housing. I had to get a job and work my behind off. The majority of people I live around now are unemployed, get state benefits and their social housing is free. Some of them are addicted to hard drugs and so get priority access to medicine, free prescriptions and hundreds of pounds every week because it's a disability. My next door neighbour (a marked crack house) gets £1600 a month, free local taxes, free rent. I work 45hrs and get £1630 but I have to pay rent, taxes etc. At one point he had a gov provided car via the motobility scheme (free to him). Poor working people are discriminated against worse than any other group black or white man or woman.
When I was growing up we didn't know anything about our teachers! And when we saw them outside of school we would be horrified 🤣🤣🤣
Lol true I’m 25, I think things only shifted around 2020 because all these professionals got on TikTok 😂
Thank you both for calling out the hypocrisy of the "black owned business" and all of the other things. I constantly roll my eyes when I see the signs, the raise up black creators things, etc. Why does everything have to be segregated based on color? All that's doing is furthering the divide. I am with these two ladies that when I see those things, I walk away and avoid the channels, businesses, etc. Stop calling out race!!
From what I understand a true trans person does everything they can to emulate the gender they identify as so there isn’t any confusion.
Facts
5-7 year olds do not understand the pronoun, noun, verb parts of sentences. They are JUST starting to learn that in Kindergarten. As a Pre-K teacher I don’t understand how they find the time to teach that between regular curriculum and dealing with COVID and learning deficits. Seems like they are taking the “dramatic play” section and really going overboard with it.
AND now I can’t dye my hair fun colors because I’ll be pinned for a woke person. Ugh
The fact you got Alex on here is the greatest
I honestly had a hard time talking to my own kids before they were 14. I have daughters. I taught them to not let people touch anything you wear over, in a bathing suit . thighs count too even knees. Except me with the knees. I'm mama and I can't make you jump if i want too lol
I used to be a teacher and I’m a lesbian, if my kids in my class asked me if i have a boyfriend or husband (cause kids do ask stuff like that) I’d just say ‘no I don’t’ that was the only answer I’d give
Myself being a lesbian would NEVER be said in my classroom
Thanks for that. 7 years of sobriety and after that I'm throwing in the towel.
I as a Muslim now understand why we put these strict laws in our countries, so we don’t end up like this, I feel bad for America
The cupiosexual reaction was so hilarious that I come back to this video whenever I feel down to cheer myself up. Thank you guys for giving us hope, knowledge and an opportunity to laugh altogether.
That video actually makes me really uncomfortable to the point of almost feeling sick...and I'm bisexual and supposedly am supposed to like it. But if it makes people happy to be able to laugh at it then it's served some purpose.
Same-How you think I feel? Lol
Im asexual and seeing this makes us look crazy lol
Don’t call yourself asexual just caz no one wants to have sex with you lol 😂 I love how they nailed it
@@skyeblue5134I agree, the person in that video is unhinged lol. She’s making asexuals look bad with her nonsense.
god i love Alex, im so excited to see her come into the conservative sphere. she's always been very free-thinking and carefree about people getting offended, and i think her conservative fiance also helped push her further our way. i am HERE for it
I know a guy who was bullied into being trans, everyone would hit him and say “your so weird your not like us your different than us, you act like a girl”. That is so messed up and I feel so bad for him.
I gotta say, I wish that the co-host would've let Amala talk more. I wanted to hear the points she was making, but she could never finish her sentence.
i hate that this girl talks over Amala all the time. its basic manners smh
Omg that first gal!
Ok, ya'll!!!
Today my elderly father said if this coutry was suddenly in a w* r, this issue would suddenly be resolved
As a teacher who looks quite a lot like the “creature teacher” near the end of this video (purple hair, and no facial piercings, but I have visible tattoos), I have an answer to the shouted question “why are they hiring teachers that look like this?” - the private Christian school I work at hired me because I love Jesus, am passionate about seeing children develop as compassionate and considerate citizens of the world, and want to help them grow in their knowledge of God. 😘
I went to rehab when I was 17, I was already in a program where I was phoneless for over a year so I had zero grasp on how “woke” the world was. I was admitted and signed myself in, I was still terrified, I got sat down into this circle of 15 other girls. And get this. The first thing they ask me are my pronouns, not my name or how I was feeling after this massive life adjustment. I’m sitting there exhausted after a long night in the hospital. I say “I’m sorry I’m confused. What?” They say “What do you identify as? You don’t know your pronouns??” I go “Huh? I’m a girl. My name is Julia, I’m confused, do we all get asked this?” They go “Okay that’s your name and you can say you’re a girl but what are your PRO-NOUNS.” And said it slowly as if I don’t understand English. I was like “Dude I’m a 17 year old girl I’m lost rn I’m whatever pronouns correspond to women” Just comes to show that when someone is taken out of this bubble for long enough, the things people say or treat as normal are truly mind boggling to hear
You know I’ve noticed a common theme on the left when it comes to their TikTok & videos. Just as this second video has stated “I’m glad you asked”, nobody actually asked them. The left just open their mouth and let’s every ounce of crazy out, and then they get upset when people are like “OK you’re crazy I’m gonna stay away from you now” or we make fun of them, which makes them cry. I have a secret for the left, because clearly they just can’t pick up what we’re laying down. People stay away from you because you let all your crazy out every day. Instead of having self control and self-discipline. And then expect everybody to want to or have to clean it up.
Paragraph breaks mean that you care.
(Edit: Thanks for fixing that).
@@REXXSEVEN • Being unable to understand a piece of prose because it isn't separated into as many paragraphs as you seem to require is a reflection of your poor comprehension.
@@monicawarner4091 For your information, I can comprehend very well.
It's just that I don't agree with people formatting their long comments in a way that seems inconsiderate of others whom they may want to read it while having it taken seriously.
It's obvious that the original comment was edited since then, so I appreciate that and apologize to them.
No need for the personal insults because you don't agree with what I said.
@@REXXSEVEN • I don't consider any of the comments you have demanded paragraphs for at all lengthy, and I'm sure all but the most intellectually challenged can cope easily with them. To demand that a person changes the format of their comments is rather insulting, or do you get a free pass?
Cupiosexual... Makes themself into a weirdo, makes up a new kind of sexuality / sexual attraction, and then talks down to everyone for NOT being "informed" on it.
I'm 24 going on 25 in December and I had a trans history teacher. Male to female and everyone accepted her simply because she had no agenda. It was an adult decision made by someone well over 30 years. She only openly expressed this her new lifestyle mainly to old and new students during transition. I started my freshman year and she was already transitioned by this point. I highly respect that teacher simply because her being trans was as normal as someone being Straight, Gay or Lesbian. She taught history very well and even had amazing vivid and real stories of a a family member in France during the war against the nazis. Only trouble I had in her class was fairly on me in a sense. I have tourretes so my meds would cause me to fall asleep easy but even so I passed all my tests and quizzes I basically argued I'm still passing tho 😂. But fr this type of content is necessary to show these aren't attacks on the modern trans and lgbtq community but more so keeping people in touch with reality
Happy birthday fellow December '97!
I relate very much, I miss the days when you met someone unique and thought "Wow, they probably overcame a lot of things, that's admirable." No, now people yell to the whole world how great and brave they are every five minutes.
Exactly this! I try to explain this to my friends
The Asian gal making the white genocide video…I have no words. Who even thinks about these kinds of things?
And the fair skinned lady body shaming people. But makes no sense she’s about a happy meal away from being overweight herself…
I got a short haircut about a year ago, and as a girl with a short haircut, I was constantly told "oh, it's okay if you're not a girl", "we'll use your preferred pronouns" etc. and I began to think I was nonbinary- BUT I started watching your channel and all I have to say is thank you so much for saving me from that *dark* place, haha
I really wish we could hear Alex's uncensored thoughts on this 😂
She is still blasting tho lol
I object to this woman saying white people are spoiled. Excuse me. My mother was a waitress and supported 6 kids with her tips. When she made good tips, we ate good. When she didn't make very much in tips, well, there wasn't as much food. Try having catsup sandwiches for lunch. I worked hard for every thing I've gotten out of life. Her comment was racist.
I think she said Americans are spoiled, I thought she said the same but after rewinding I really think she said we are spoiled here in America
Yeah I just made sure again, it seems like she did but she said “white people… we are so spoiled in the us” I think she was about to start a sentence with “white people” but then regrouped and started a new sentence, idk tho lol
and they think its ok to not let wites in school forcing whites to be homeschooled or turn to crime and reuslting in white students developing a hatred or minorites and wanting to persecute and kill minorities
@@vera4308 at 2:36 in the program the woman definitely said, "white people, we are so spoiled." Regardless of what she meant to say, that is what she said. I love listening to Ms. Ekpunobi and her programs, but she and her producers let all of us down when this was allowed to air.
Thank you ladies, this is so confusing why someone would act this way about race. They are the ones causing their own problems and issue based lives. That teacher should not be a teacher. I am so glad my kids are older and are not subject to this BS in school. Oh, and yes I share your videos with them. Thank you again ladies for this video.
100% agree . I don’t care if it’s black owned. The food is good or not . Wtf if it’s white owned . I buy Ralph Lauren clothes they look good on me .
I learned it on "The Comments Section With Brett Cooper" & yet I still don't understand how a personality is considered a sexuality-
Someone has implied to me that I'm racist because I don't check to see an author's race before starting a book. And they got offended that me, as someone living outside the US, don't care or subscribe to black history month. Like, wtf? Some people are SO self-centered and obsessed with skin color.
Amala is such a cutie pie !!
strong woman very attractive
Yep 1000% agree with both these statements
Amala is so professional and well-spoken. It's a joy to watch her and listen to her speak. And yes, she is so cute 😁
@@hannahgolden She is very good at calling out shit in a clear productive way. I think its imperative for younger women to be a voice now more than ever. To see that makes me thrilled. Her and Brett Cooper are doing amazing things for the next gen.
Thank God I graduated high school 19 years ago. lol
When I was in the second grade we started every morning by singing a patriotic song and reciting the pledge of allegiance. Oh how far we’ve come 😑
I am SO glad to hear others say this. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR SKIN TONE. RIGHT?! It's like make quality things and we will buy it.
"If 1-2 years old can poop in their diapers, adults can too".
Is there a simpler way to tell these people that it's not that adults CAN'T? It's that they WON'T, they DO NOT want to.
It's like they are adults but they do not understand basic human functioning
You don’t need a gay flag and rainbow shirt to tell your kids you’re a safe space, the best thing you can do to check in for any reason is to tell them they can come to you for anything. Do weekly check ins. My teachers do that and it seriously makes me feel welcomed. I’m not gay or anything, and not a lot of kids are, so I think it may be a coincidence that the teachers who are shoving sexuality down their kids throats are the ones who have all the gay students. You don’t need to check in on someone’s sexuality, you need to check in on their mental health.
it really is lonely kids who just want somewhere to belong, and society brainwashes them
and that woman is totally a groomer, how has she been hired as a teacher?? It's terrifying, my children will never go to public school
on another note, you look very nice today Amala
The gender trend is DEFINITELY in red states too now.
💚🏜️ ugh 😑 Side note: being overweight does actually annihilate one's libido.
I am so thankful I dodged this weird mess throughout all of my schooling. I was able to go about my day normally and focus on topics that actually made sense for the most part.
I'm a normal looking, conservative, white female teacher. And oddly enough, none of my students are afraid to talk to me. I have gay and trans students who feel comfortable talking to me about anything and everything. Black students feel comfortable talking to me. I don't have any rainbows in my class, no blm flags, yet the students still feel like I am a safe person to talk to.
Former teacher here!!!! Get her out of the classroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
You're out of luck, the asylums were shut down along ago.
the education system is failing. why cant we go back to the days where school was just maths, science, english etc...
