I m bi and I ve never felt like a member of the lgbt community. This community is full of anger, discrimination and bullies. The entire point of this community was to normalize lgbt yet now i feel like they do everything they can to estrange themselves from the rest of the world ... It s heartbreaking to witness, just be yourself and dont make your sexuality your whole identity
Totally agree. Have you ever wondered how the LGBTQ community became a thing? Tabloid news journalists created it to keep us all divided. If we aren’t in groups, we don’t fight. If there is no fighting, there is no news.
Do you feel they should separate the LGBT from the TQAI+? I follow quite a few transexuals, Blair White, Buck Angel and I also follow Arielle Scarcello(lesbian) that does a lot of videos with Buck Angel and Choloe and Drag Queens. They all talk about how the NOW TQAI+ and Drag Queens are not part of the original LGBTQ in ideology than those of 6+yrs earlier. Some of the top OG Drag Queens do not agree with the way drag queens are now. Same with trans. I highly recommend watching all of them on these controversial issues happening in today's society vs 5, 6 or more years ago. They do not condone how their group is changing the movement.
The difference between Amala and other conservatives is that she still has empathy where others do not show it. At the end of the day we are still human and have feelings for reasons and she seems to feel for those in these situations
my dad's a redneck kind of conservative and he has quite a few friends that lack empathy and although I'm conservative Christian (LDS) I prefer to listen to christian talks from Russel M. Nelson and Thomas S. Monson about how we never really know what people are going through and it isn't our place to judge but our place to present new ideas to help people that might be struggling
Yes! So many conservative lose me when they take empath, compassion and respect out of the convo(before you come for me I feel the same way listening to liberals). Disagree firmly and hold your ground but let's remember the human
I think the problem is that Conservatives don't get respect from those on the left, the media, and our "President." Conservatives are God fearing, church going, pro America, family oriented, and very protective of our children. But what have Conservatives been labeled? White supremacists, transphobic, homophobic, racist, sexist, gun toting psychopaths. Conservatives who are black are called all kinds of names, including white supremacists. I have plenty of empathy for people, especially people who are disabled because I have a son with autism. However, I'm not going to go out of my way to support a group of trans activists who are pro child transition, call people by their correct pronouns, or respect those who DEMAND respect. I respect everyone, but if I get called all these names because I don't agree with your views, there's no point.
I'm with you, I'm an Independent and so although I hate the woke stuff, I'm not big on some of the stuff Ben Shapiro says. I feel like people like Amala, Kim Iversen, and Tulsi Gabbard are what Republicans should strive to be because that will get more Independent voters!
I used to be apolitical but left leaning, due to public school and cultural indoctrination. Didn't know any better. Now I'm very vehemently anti-Left. What changed? Being the victim of leftist ideology, having my life ruined multiple times by dangerous egregious lies and rhetoric. When you've been powerless and falsely accused of SH/SA multiple times by weirdos changing the definition, see society backing the breakdown of truth through M2, BLM, CV... see society and the MSM, social media mob witch hunt and celebrate the (wrongful) persecution of those accused and still to this day regale is their ignorance, you have a hatred for them and their ideals. I've seen the worst of them. Seen hov not even incontrovertible evidence convinces them as they smugly and ideologically hold true to dangerous beliefs and ideals, rhetoric and practises that have already and is actively destroying other people's lives. Experience the gaslighting, the aggressive radical censoring and dismissing, the pompous virtue signalling, the shaming, the name calling... be the scapegoat and target of socially accepted radical vitriol due to false and harmful narratives, have your life and livelihood attacked, risk jail time or job loss, or destroyed family + friendships, and be in constant stress... and you too would be quick lose compassion and empathy... As you see them protect and celebrate clear criminals with false narratives, allow innocents to suffer through false narratives / actively punishing innocents, see them ignore and create propaganda for the suffering of the innocents, see them be hysterical hypocrites when their own mob leaders do what they supposedly stand against... see them freeze bank accounts because of political affiliation, see them brainwash and sexualize children... Etc etc... It's not hard to understand why many Conservatives / non-Lefties in recent times have lost a lot of compassion.
When my daughter was 11 she made statements that she wanted to be a boy. I told her that I would love her no matter what but that at her age she needed to just be her and not worry about sexuality. That when she was older and more mature than we would better explore those feelings. She’s now 14 and she has told me how grateful she is that I let her work through those feelings and didn’t push her into the trans path or dismissed her completely.
Ive said the same to my girls not knowing what was out there at the time. One daughter wanted to remove her boobs as well as later on remove her uterous. I told her that doing so would put her into menopause I told her the importance of having her parts even if she doesn't want kids these parts are necessary. Also they both dabbled with sexuality and again I told them that admiring female form is normal and just be a kid. Dont be so hung up with sexuality as its normal. I also gave them vibrators and told them to take care of own business and not to have sex unless they are willing to get pregnant. Im glad I said all of this as I now see how damaging the public school system is. I am a tomb boy and so yeah I get it.
My name is Annette and I live in Texas….80% of the time I get called Anita. What the heck, I’m used to it and I’ll answer as long as they aren’t calling me a dirty word
I am so very glad i was born when i was. I used to dress in boys clothes because they were far more comfortable. Now, my 1 year old girl hates hairbows and i had a woman tell me she knew she was a boy and tearing off her hair bows and ties was her trying to signal that she doesnt wanna be dressed as a girl. I was torn between laughing in her face and decking her in the face to get her away from my child.
I am a "white" (I do not care about the pigment of anyone's skin) male disabled Marine Corps veteran and went to college in 2009 at the age of 41. I took a class that focused on scholarships. As I was researching scholarships that I was qualified for I played around with checking different boxes. When I checked all of the correct boxes I was eligible for 6 scholarships. I changed my gender to female and was eligible for twice as many scholarships. When I changed to being a male "black" student, I was eligible for about 25 scholarships. When I then marked that I was a "black" female the list pretty much exploded. This conversation about the enrollment in colleges and universities can and probably should go farther than just "race." I think that college/scholarship applications should have neither "race" nor gender attached to the individual.
Positive Discrimination, as it’s known in the UK, is an absolute disgrace. Some sectors fairly recently, have even told white males to not apply for jobs. They were taken to court for discrimination & lost. It should be merit only whether college/ work.
About 18 years ago I was going through information about college scholarships that might be available to my soon to be graduating son. My husband was a self employed builder and we were/are definitely not on the higher end of income. We were concerned about how we would afford to put him through college. He is a white male. Other than his good scores on his ACT and SAT tests, there wasn’t much available for him. Thankfully, because of those scores, and the fact that he could live at home and attend a local university, he was able to go through college with some grants and scholarships.
I say pay them as much reparations as they want right now. By the end of summer, the dollar will have collapsed and become worthless. That will show them.
@@thomasaristycruz8997 until they end legacy admissions I don't want to hear anything about affirmative action. Because those students still have to actually have good academic performances to even be considered. We hear about how life isn't fair and isn't supposed to be fair. why does it seem like ppl only care so much when it's black people getting the advantage?
Amala, I only recently discovered you when Jordan Peterson interviewed you. In this short time I find myself, an empty nested 48 yr old white/native American single dad who is a tattooed "redneck " biker, absolutely amazed and won over by your open minded stand and your compassion for others. You pass along truths while not sacrificing the ones on the other side. Very well done and I'm a fan for life . Thank you
I'm actually really eladed to read your comment. Native Americans are, imo, the more forgotten, abused, and overly used, than any other race. I'm not Native, but I can appreciate how much yall struggled, where inslaved, murdered, abused, and boxed in, over the years. I count my blessings that I had a VERY honest World History and American History teacher in HS (same woman). She literally told us this is not what I'm supposed to teach, but I'm going to tell the truth anyway! And she did. Bless her, and bless NATIVES of this land. Yall deserve more respect, honor, and nodiriaty than you recieve!
Charles... you're now on my prayer list radar to gain eternal life through the forgiveness of your sins because Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again. Without a relationship with Him, you are already condemned forever to the lake of fire. Only a fool refuses this offer. John 3:16.
4 I too have discovered a lot of wonderful brilliant people Via Jordan Peterson I'm a new convert and a new Guru and I wish I knew about him years ago:-)
I am transitioning into conservatism and I am so happy to have found someone who is conservative but isn’t overly aggressive, angry, and someone who has compassion and is fun.
Read "Unfriendly Skies" by Rodney Stitch. Modern assassination is often by Airplane crash. read "The Rockefeller File (free online)" ... by Gary Allen. if u read these you will know truths few know.
Lol is that how it works? I’ve never really been either but I figured democrats were more for the regular people….now it’s just so insane that I can’t pretend like it’s not lol
Actually conservatives are more for the common working class folks. We are less racist, less judgmental, less bigoted than ANY liberal. The problem is, the liberals deny they are and very loudly claim to the world that it's conservatives that are. 😅 We just don't take their bait and participate in their name-calling games, lol. I've been conservative all my life, and it truly breaks my heart that there has to be so much animosity and discord toward us from the other side. If we could get rid of the radicals that go too far each way, we might actually be able to agree on a happy medium! 😊❤
Just turned 50 year old white guy here who came from an underprivileged background and I love Amala. Give me an entire planet of young people like her and we’re gonna be alright.
Exactly!!! I'm a 55 year old female, and had truly been terrified thinking of my retirement years in the hands of the youth today 😳 But Amala and a few others I've found on here have given me some hope. ❤
Systemic Racism against asians? Do you feel that way because you do not think you're smart? I dont know of any system that actually holds ANYONE down from success.
@@wowhausstudios5514 As for work, it's kinda funny when people would consider racism: if the application generally ask you whether your English is your second language or not; RATHER than your race.
Amala, your past experience with a teacher telling you to "mark black" reminds me of when I had my first child (over 30 years ago). I went to social services just to try and get childcare long enough to gain employment and handle expenses myself. The person who was handling my application (who was black), literally told me that I didn't have enough children or the right color of skin. I was completely shocked she actually said that, but it was the truth. I did respond that I can't do anything about my skin color and why would I want more children when I couldn't afford to take care of that one at the time. By the way, I have just recently stumbled across your channel. I would love to see you in the white house. That would allow everyone in the country to hear your intelligent approach to the difficult conversations that "We the People" need to have.
I thought that it was funny that Amala was talking about how people watch Dr. Phil while doing laundry. I’m literally watching her while doing my laundry😂😂
Right on. Skills are not a gender. Just because I am skilled in many trades does not make me want to be a man. Nor does it make me appreciate them less. Because I KNOW how gruelling 8 to 12 hours of hard labour can be I appreciate them more. I just "glow" when they appreciate my skills.akes me proud to be working amongst them. (Sometimes not so much)
Same! I was a tomboy when I was a kid. Being rough and tumble as a girl doesn’t mean you want to be a boy. It just means boy clothes were more comfortable and their toys were more fun. I’m still the same way as an adult, and I know I am not a man.
when i was growing up on the 1960's (Yeah, I'm OLD) Sandy was a tomboy who was part of my "Troop" we all saw her as "One of the Guys who is a Girl" she was equal and asked for no special treatment and did everything we all did explored, Camped, made bows and slings with the rest of the guys she was cool and accepted she grew up to be incredably hot one summer she laughed when her Tits started growing in, but she hated wearing a "Titty Sling" he mom insisted on strapping her into, she would shuck it the moment we were out of sight. Good times! if she grew up today she would have her head messed with and put on a ton of drugs when in reality she just wanted to have as much fun as the guys did and we all accepted her as "one of the guys"
If they want to be fair. Remove names.. Race. You can include grades, sports, extra curriculars.. financial. Your ability for resources. That's it. Everything else is blind. I don't need to know your gender, race, how you identify.. those are things that lump you into groups. Not who you are as an individual. Maybe I'm wrong but at least it's fair. I think anyway. Always open up debate which we should be.
I agree, because the reality is racism still exist, so if you just remove the race of the student from the application all together then it makes it fair for everyone.
Doesn’t Harvard have a limit for asian students who are academically stronger to make it more “equal” and “diverse “ if they were to hide their names and race wouldn’t havard have lots of Asians and that wouldn’t make it a more diverse place for exchange of cultures
@@isaac7326 no. But we also wouldn't have legacies because Mommy and Daddy bought a building. It would be based on the person not how the identify . Their merit and you can take finances into account to allow those who aren't rich to have a chance if they are good enough
When I was getting my bachelor's degree I had a conversation with a professor about what I should do next. I was uncertain about continuing my education by getting a masters degree in a STEM field and I wanted my supervisors opinion on the matter. When discussing he told me that I should just go for my masters, even if I was unsure, because I am a woman and as a woman in STEM I would be selected. He did not once mention anything about my grades or my capabilities. I busted my butt to get good grades and participate in multiple opportunities in our department, but all he talked about was how my gender would get me positions. That was such a depressing conversation for me. Gender and race should not be considered when applying for a position. I want my accomplishments to speak for me, not my gender.
On the other hand, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Women who were denied access fought for YOU to have it with federally mandated quotas (after decades of fighting for the right to education and job promotion), because without them, men in control were / are never going to give job and opportunities to anyone else but white men. You be the judge of your accomplishments, understanding that white men are resentful that they have to 'play nice' and it fits their selfish narrative to act like Affirmative Action is unfair against THEM. Know that your foremothers fought for you to have some doors open up, which they never did for them. Nevermind that some thoughtless male supervisor didn't consider your ego and acknowledge that OF candidates for pursuing masters' degrees, you, as a woman, could get preferential consideration. It's okay to be proud of yourself and know that you earned a spot in the program. Quotas have been totally responsible for moving the needle on this issue, and they take generations to really take effect. We're not there yet. Be grateful to your foremothers; who would be your grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, and, understand that white men are very very slow to change in this area.
I would like to put forward the idea that the professor knew you were competent and considered it a given. My professors encouraged me to get a PHD in my STEM field and said I would have no problem getting a job as a woman and an American. (How many of your professors were foreign?) But I was also one of the top students in my class. Dean's list, yadda yadda yadda. They didn't need to tell me that part. What they were telling me was what the job market would be like when I got out, which i didn't know.
@@jenniferpearce1052 yes, I've seen this explained before by professors. It's the parts that are obvious to them and others but society needs to hear those parts because if they don't they get offended. (I'm by no means saying the op is offended. Just speaking on obvious things needing to be stated, kind of like every word thats between the parentheses)
I feel like we've raised a generation of narcissists. When you're constantly concerned with your own feelings, your own appearance, you miss out greatly. I've been guilty of these moments, and as I've grown, try hard to check that!
You're very right. And that goes for a lot of white people to it's just truly gross how entitled kids are and how they don't think they should have to work and they don't think they should really have to do anything and everything is about themselves and about their happiness it is not good at all this fake woke stuff and fake knowledge and fake wisdom is awful.
So true - raising generations of people that think their happiness is dependent on how the rest of the world adapts for them. Recipe for unhappiness really…
Dr Ramani (has youtube channel about narcissism) has stated that in her profession she has seen a huge rise in the number of people that have narcissistic tendencies back when Myspace was starting. She states that social media is LARGELY responsible for this.

I had a friend in college who was trans (mtf) and about 2 years into our studies he began detransitioning. This was back around 2005-2007 and even back then the people in the LGBT+ clubs would openly call him names and threaten him in the halls, calling him traitor, bootlicker, physically shoving him sometimes. And these were college age people, not kids or teens acting like this. It was appalling. He eventually left and went to another college to avoid it. We still talk on occasion and he's doing well now, but it still blows my mind how that community is so fast to turn on each other.
I am fine with trans people they are people and entitled to human rights, period. But I have a strong objection to forcing it on people, children, changing the meaning of language. Forcing people to ignore biology. The hate and vitriol they spew on even there own group. I think this is mental illness In that they need the acceptance from other people on their terms, if you can't accept yourself it's a little crazy to think some stranger is going to validate who you are.

As an experienced dancer, I was invited to participate in a choreographed piece with the message “make love, not war”. I took from it a sense of unity and community with the fellow dancers there as we practiced, rehearsed and performed. Every dancer was holding a small flag in their hand and at the end of the piece, BIPOC members were asked to keep their flags raised in the air. I couldn’t help but immediately feel the division and confusion, coming to terms with the fact that I have white skin and was not considered a part of that community, therefore thinking it would be unacceptable to keep my flag in the air. It conveyed the message of the piece differently to me at that point. The most important thing I tell myself about this experience, is not to remain silently angry and know that I have a voice and valid opinion. I have yet to tell the choreographer how it left me feeling, considering we are still friends.
Love this episode I am a gay man and I came out in 08, in 2013 I went through a bad break up and subconsciously began to hate gays so I thought at the time I wanted to be a woman but it was a phase I am so glad I took a damn anti depressant and realized that I am just a girly gay guy. My point being I was an adult when that happened now we push this ideology on children, it sickens me. #theconservativegay
I'm bisexual. Or as I like to say "I'm a gay Republican" lol Kidding aside though- I'm glad you were able to figure things out. The desire to thrust these conversations onto kids is vile. Sex in its entirety, outside of the reproductive cycle, should not be taught or discussed in schools.
you were depressed and started have negative feelings because of a guy. you cannot compare yourself to actual trans people. like what is wrong with you?
Amala, The reason why they get a push up is because they are white. Explain this to me. Why isn't every American protect under the law equally? Let's talk about the pass 34 years. Five Black men were wrongfully convicted for a rape they didn't commit. I was 24 years old when this happened. This wasn't slavery, Reconstruction nor Jim Crow. You're an intelligent woman, but you need get more education about our country.
Amala thank you for saying we are all human. As a transracial adoptee my sister constantly reminded me how black I was, how nappy my hair was and that she considered me less then. Now as adults I do feel sorry for my sister because I see her insecurities in all the things she would say and do to me while growing up. A lot of people make negative remarks about me because I do a lot of activities alone like concerts. Growing up and having the sister I did taught me not to wait around for others. If there is something I want to do or experience I’m going to do it! I will find community at the activity because we are there for a common reason. One of my favorite things is becoming friends for a day with someone! I love people! ❤
Yo are well adjusted person. We make our own community. What is there to say about people who can't be alone......must not like themselves very much. You must love yourself and I'm sure people who meet you and know you love you right back. Keep getting out there
@@gregkasza1925 other black people use that term though as an insult. The only reason some black people are ok with it now, is because the natural hair movement became a thing. My sister is mixed race, has incredibly curly hair and people would throw paper in her hair at school. Most of those girls, as women, now want curly hair 😂 She's always had beautiful hair.
Your comment was so enjoyable to read ❤ smiling for you! My sister struggles with insecurity too and intense social aggression. I can’t be around her anymore bc of it. I sincerely hope our sisters find peace.
My younger brother was the same gene pool as me but I was an insecure child (narcissistic mother , temperamental character) and i honestly made his life a living Hell. I’m glad you didn’t let your sister affect who you are x
My lesbian daughter was convinced by a school nurse because she was butch that she must be trans and the school nurse without asking permission gave my child a chest binder and did not show her how to wear it properly and now her chest is wonky and to say I want that woman to pay is an understatement. I am only sorry I did not realize until I went to size her for a bra. The worst part is she is now feminine and is in no way wanting to be trans and this is why I know not all kids can pick this for themselves at young ages.
So you had such a bad connection with your lesbian daughter you didn't discuss with her if she was femme or butch or trans or straight? What kind of a parent are you ? Yeah that is messed up, when the poor girl has to talk to a school nurse. You blame other people very easy for a job you should be doing yourself.
@@meghanc8887 Apparently the mother didn't really talk this through with her daughter. Trouble with most LGBTQI kids, they got to educate their parents.
I love this! As a female minority, I want to compete against the best in academics and the work force, regardless of race or gender. In the same way I want to compete, if I am able to prove my skills as being the best, then I should be rewarded at the same level. Fair is fair.
When my son applied for college I was searching for scholarship opportunities that would apply to the major he was seeking. Most of the scholarships available were for those students of color. While I think that is wonderful to have those opportunities available to people of color, not all white students have the privilege of coming from a wealthy family who can afford college. Color doesn’t always dictate socioeconomic economic status.
I remember back in 98 or 99 (yes I'm old) when a young woman was suing the University of Michigan law school for discrimination, other were also suing the regular admissions practice too. Both used affirmative action. At the time Lee Bollinger was the school's president and at a press conference a reporter asked why just black, native American, and Hispanics were considered for the minorities to benefit from the practice and not Arab Americans or Asians. And he literally said "the Asians don't need it, they score higher than anyone on tests". It just floored me. For multiple reasons. First it was blatantly racist. Complimentary, but racist nonetheless. But also that no reporter pointed that out. There was no follow up. Also it was never retracted or apologized for. And because most the people in the room on the morally superior than thou side silently nodded at the response. As if to say, yep they are inherently superior to us in that respect. I've never forgotten that. That a group so dead set on appearing colorblind couldn't comprehend their hypocrisy.
That’s not why it’s because Asians aren’t a minority at the school. They’re only like 2% of the population so they’re overly represented at most university so they normally don’t get those points. But why go after minority they don’t get any extra point for being minority exclusively. Whatever points they give out for being minority you can also get if you’re first generation or poor. The game changer that’s not fair is the legacy points the “affirmative action points” (that help white men too but no one complains about that) that don’t make a huge difference you still have to have merit oppose to legacies that can be a far behind you snd get it. It’s not messed up to let in a poc, 1st generation or poor person with the “affirmative action “ points with a 3.8 over a white, rich kid that has parents with degrees but they have a 4.0 and and ten more points on the SATs. The privileged person has a path with zero resistance so that 4.0 weights as much as 3.7 of a person that had to work part time, dodge gangs& bullets, take care of their siblings and ran track for the state 😮plus having to navigate applications with no help & no sat prep they didn’t even know about the PSATs. Hella Asians apply from oversee firstly and they’d rather have those Asians at the school because they pay international rate so that the American Asians applying are already being over represented by 2x already. Schools aren’t hard on letting Asians in a lot of schools have over 15/20/30% Asian population why are you mad at other minorities because less of them apply making their representation low therefore the school is in need of those students so the campus culture is richer🤷♀️
Im Asian Am married to a Nigerian Am still to today and were both retired medical professionals. We’ve been in this country for over 45 years to date. Raised two biracial boys older a practicing lawyer and the younger in finance. They were raised in a white community and went to public schools from kinder to college. They never thought for one minute that they were victims of racism. We both used the best practices that made us succeed in our African and Asian cultures together to raise them very well despite the sociocultural issues in this current American environment. Because of our shared cultural values they rejected racism as a factor of success and instead held on clear to the values of meritocracy. They both took after their father’s African’s physical appearance but with much lighter skin tone from their Asian side. They believe that they became successful because of their brains and not because of the privilege from the color of their skin. Im watching you for the first time. Im a fan of Candace since she became famous.
@@kimwhatmatters4085 you don't get the same points for minority if you are poor that's crap You get preferential treatment based on skin color that's the first thing the recruiter See's not your bank balance... affirmative action is racist

The person talking about loosing his penis, his story is absolutely heart wrenching. His name is Shape Shifter and he did an interview recently telling his story. I truly believe his story is so important for people to hear, he can speak to this issue in a way no one else can. He is extremely uncomfortable speaking about it, but pushes those anxieties aside because it's more important to try to warn people from making the mistakes he has made. He was truly brainwashed by the ideology and it has caused him irreversible damage.
His life is definitively tragic but the way he uses his story to teach a lesson and make people reconsider decisions to chop off their parts makes me respect him even more. Turnin your own pain to help others is truly selfless.
Jazz is also a sad sad case! I think once he gets away from his family, he'll admit his transformation was a big mistake! I believe Jazz is compensating for the loss of his penis by overeating!
I'm a straight man who has been around the LGBT community for many years due to my industry. I've noticed the same thing that you brought to light about not being accepted when you were young. I saw this in a large part of the LGBT community. But, this happens in the straight community as well. All of us have suffered through not belonging and trying to fit in. When as Taylor said about just being yourself, that you really start living.
Amala, your parents must be very proud. I was an absolute idiot until I was like 28. I cannot believe you are only 22 (saw some other comments that mentioned it). Keep it up, you are amazing!
I'm a Latina and when I applied for my job race was never a question and even my interview was through a phone call. I can confidently say that I got the position due to merit and life experience. I think if race were a question I wouldn’t think the same. I’m a teacher
When I fill out paperwork now and it asks my race I always check the 'prefer not to answer' one. I think if more people start doing that maybe we can move past the whole race thing.
I’m 25% hispanic, and when I was a senior in high school my guidance counselor told me I was technically eligible to mark hispanic on college and scholarship applications. (She told me 25% was the cutoff or minimum requirement) Which I thought was weird to do since I look more Caucasian, so I never mark the Hispanic part on applications. Just feels like I’d be trying to get a free ride into something based on the fact that my dad is half Mexican, since I myself don’t suffer from any oppression or discrimination.
When I was a kid, I didn't have female friends. I hung around boys, played baseball, football, etc. but I never felt I was male or confused. It was called being a tomboy. Once I got older I just changed and became more feminine. No thought to it.
@@dougmasters4561 I'm almost 70 and there were feminine sports for girls and masculine sports for boys. I started highschool in the 60s and the different sports were taught by teachers. Obviously, times have changed but it was fought against by boys and men when girls first wanted to play "male" sports in the 70s and 80s.
I had my DNA tested, and discovered all kinds of ethnicity that no one in the family knew anything about. My mother is Puerto Rican, and my father was supposedly mostly German. When I received my DNA results, I only had about 12% Spain and 4% native Puerto Rican, and only about 8% German. The rest was Scandinavian, British, Irish, Native American and African (Mali and Congo). I suspect that most Americans are actually mixed race, and what we see on the outside is even more superficial than anyone thinks. No one in our family has any idea where all of these origins comes from, especially the African and Native American comes from.
I believe center-right or conservative women like Amala and Candace have their fingers so firmly on the pulse of modern culture, in 10 or 15 years they would be political forces to be reckoned with. We need people like this to change the course of our country and set us back on path. I have never heard either of them ever espouse political asperations though, but man they would be so strong, so led by their morals. Of the two of them I think Candace would be the most likely to do pursue a political career, given her Blexit movement and Trump support, but I'd love to see Amala do the same. I see Amala as a calmer, less divisive Candace. Amala is an extremely sharp orator, able to go head to head with expert opponents. I hope she will do some more debates and talks in front of audiences. Also Mark Walsh is just razor sharp like no other. His New Mexico event was just unreal. We have such amazing figures in conservative independent media right now that it gives me such hope for the future.
Hahaha these two Candace and Amala get zero love from the black community they are a joke and the white community will let them in the room but no to the table trust that.Fact is when shit hits the fan white folks will bail on them and black folks will tell them sit down and get a plate we got you.
I pray they all band together and with our support, win back a more solidified America. United, we CAN stand against this, and stop it. One giant network of conservatives, a machine, like our opponents.
@@thisislife1773 do you believe that conservatives are right on everything? Anyone who wants any majority on government doesn't want progress. We need both sides otherwise we'd just have a bunch of crazy people on the two extremes of every issue.
I’m so glad that I discovered you and your team.I have worked, played, broke bread, and shared life with people of all races. I have always respected people who are different than myself especially when it comes to race. We will all be ok one day with the help from people like you. Thanks!
The most racist thoughts I have ever had (really not that bad and never actions or words) stem from the fear of being racist. As irononic as that sounds it is the truth and I refuse to teach my children to fear being racist but to just know they aren't because they look at people as individuals not groups.
Of course. Because in the real world, the things we are trying to do now, are promoting racism. Affirmative action is racism. Giving a title of “black business owner”, for example, is breeding racism. Why does it matter if you’re black or white? And if it doesn’t matter, why do we have to put a colored title on people? It’s paper thin ideology.
There's nothing more racist than people who try too hard not to be racist to me, so I get it 😂 understand that I am black, but it ends there. Everything else that you learn about me is about me as an individual, with the exception of perhaps a few cultural things, but even then that's more to do with my West Indian background rather than just being black.
Its so funny, I'm 55 and am realizing how much more I learn and grow watching these videos and others and learning, listening, discerning and interacting with others about these ideas and situations...SO much better than sitting in front of a made up show getting programmed and brainwashed!
I wonder how many 13 boy/girl ever thought as I did at 13 and started my period. I had cramps so painful I would throw up and cry in pain. I prayed to be a boy so I wouldn’t have this. I never told anyone this time in my life. A year later I was doing better on birth control. I’m 64 and so glad I didn’t have someone forcing me to do all the change. I love men and glad I’m a mother too. My heart feels for all who feel they need to be surgically changed and then have regrets. Much love to them all.
A boys life is unending pain and terror, and now the idiot woke have made it worse. I'm too calm(without drugs), so maybe some other dude will crack under the pressure. Two things will happen - a. he will kill himself, or b. he will go on a murderous rampage. Remember woke, you are creating the monster. Many people that you, temporarily, champion are victims of whatever they suffer from. Pedos are made, but are more likely to be female(70%, according to the FBI), hence why you want to redefine what a woman is. You want to move it around so that, again, only male pedos die. Lesbians and gays are made, not born. Milo Yianopolus pointed this out. It's always done by an older, trusted, adult. LGs(because they hate woke for commandeering their societal attention): what is your first homosexual memory? Obfuscating with "I was drunk/high" is not allowed. If you have to be drunk/high to have a certain sexuality, then you don't have that sexuality. Whomever got you to drink/smoke that much, to remove your consent, to make you compliant to their wishes, made you what you are. There is a well-known word for that.
Right?! Only us biological women REALLY knows how it is to be female. Period. I honestly don't care that some of them are delusional, if they change their genitals. I read girls in other countries, such as Africa, that their poor young girls get put through genital mutilation. I'm so thankful I was born in America.
The appearance on Dr. Phil was a good one. You were switched on, engaged, speaking absolutely coherent sentences (lol) and making sense. And you looked good, too. Well done, Amala. I'd not be looking forward to you as my old HS debate opponent. Applause, m'dear, applause 👏
The discussion about your biological sex regardless of what you pretend to be should be had before the first date. Starting a relationship on such a major lie is a deal breaker for many people.
I genuinely love you and Candace Owens so much. Beautiful smart woman with a great message. I always enjoy watching your videos. I know God is working in and through you. Keep being the voice of truth! BLESSINGS!!❤
My dad has been marking Other and writing in American forever now. What is great about America is that we are the great melting pot of cultures. We have a bunch of people with very distinct and different cultures, and we have people with a blend of those, and then everyone adapts and takes the things they admire (or don't) from the cultures around them to better themselves (or not). It's a beautiful symphony of human interaction.
I mean it’s not fun walking on eggshells around upset women while not being the direct cause of their indifference. That’s the plight of manhood. Carrying other people’s baggage and bs because your shoulders are strong enough to do so.
@@the2ndcoming135 Do you really hate women this much? 😳 Try to carry an 8 pound heavy bag on your belly for a month 24/7 Try to cope with you bleeding unstoppably for a week every month Do you know what happens to men when their testosterone level goes down? You, men, fall into depression and will lose your energy and drive. Do you know who'll look after you? Yes, probably a woman. The woman, whose estrogen level keeps fluctuating twice every month.
My gosh, Amala, you put this whole situation into words better than anyone I’ve ever heard. As someone who always thought that the definition of racism was just someone believing that they were superior to another based on race, the definition has lost all meaning, as it’s now used for things that aren’t even remotely racist. It’s basically become a buzz word thrown at someone that differs in any way. Also, as someone who grew up in the D.C. Metro area, I grew up with school mates of all races. We never gave it any thought. We all dated each other, spent the night at each other’s homes, and spent our days being the best of friends. In fact, I never thought of the differences between us until they were made abundantly clear after the George Floyd riots. We have been called white supremacists because we were born white, or that we should apologize to our black coworkers because we are white. I mean, I’ve heard all kinds of absolute NONSENSE! While I don’t notice any differences in daily interactions with other races (specifically black people), I notice that I have grown resentful. That I am not as open hearted about everyone like I was all of my life. It’s truly sad because we, as a race, are NOT racist at all! Systemic racism was long gone and then the left decided to try to stir it up again and create division between us. Now there’s tension and anger. I have ALWAYS been a person of “be kind”, “choose kindness” and now my entire perspective has shifted. Myself and those close to me have NEVER been racist or bigoted to ANYONE, but now it’s as if WE are being targeted for things we’ve never thought, said, did, or perpetuated, and I resent it.
I said basically the same thing about a week ago. I described it as feeling jaded about it all. I've actually discovered that word doesn't evoke negative emotions in others. But the saddest part is the fact I'm using energy to choose my words. I'm a strong dude but eventually I'm going to run out of graciousness. I'm just a man. Ultimately I'll revert and the prospect is sad. It's happening with all people right now. And it doesn't discriminate
Yes! I am starting to feel resentful also and it's making me feel guilty because I've always been a live and let live, love thy neighbor as thyself kind of a person but my tolerance is wearing a bit lately. I've been all over the world, I've had friends and boyfriends of many colors, been Midwestern nice to a fault to everyone, and no side of my family has ever been remotely involved with slavery, so how am I now the bad guy? (girl) Thank you for sharing that because I've been afraid to admit it! And by the way, what does that say about what they're doing to their own cause?
Sameee my last name is Feijo and people pronounce the ‘j’ as ‘h’ so instead of saying (fee-joe) they say (fey-ho) because they assume it’s Spanish. But I usually don’t correct them cuz ik they are just trying to read it respectfully. 🇵🇹
My first name is considered really old-fashioned and rare. So many people sort of think that they misheard or simply can't remember it. - So I end up being called all sorts of other names. I'm not waisting my time and energy getting emotional about it. But if I'm going to meet these people again, I do gently correct them. Just to minimize confusion.
When I was in foster care, I was in the Independent Living program. I was 17 at this time. They promised to pay for college, went back on it and I ended up in a ton of debt (after asking me first if I am mixed race as this was a requirement for the particular program that they were trying to use to get my college paid for- which I am - half White, 1/4 Hispanic and 1/4 Black) I started Collegiate programs in 8th grade). There was also a program available where you can get an apartment once you sign out /age out and they pay for part of it, I was denied. I was so angry and went to my case worker's office and demanded an answer why I was denied for these programs and entitlements as a ward of the state. My case worker said that the honest answer was "Because you are not Black enough" Then I became even more angry and said "Why are you under a belief that Black people need everything 'spoon fed' to them?? Do you really feel that a Black person cannot succeed on their own without YOUR precious help??!"
This is why I LOVE this channel. Not only do you have a firm set of beliefs, you are able to LISTEN to others, you never make people feel bad for making their points but at the same time you don't allow yourself to be misinterpreted, walked over etc. I also completely agree with your split in opinion with Candace. You verbalised it better than I ever could
Thank you Amala, Candace for standing up against this clearly racist policy. As an Asian parent who worked very hard to give my sons a better future it pains me to see in 2023 that we are still using race to oppress people. And we are on the lower end of the middle class and its really unfair. Not every Asian is rich.
I’m blown away girl. You are so smart, sharp and brilliant, at the same time sooo young 👏🏼👏🏼😍😍 I’m so excited to see where this all will take you. Keep it up!!!!🥳🥳🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm also mixed race Asian, and I feel absolutely disenfranchised and not represented in any of the race discussions that happen. In fact, until fairly recently, the only boxes you could check were white, black, or other. I was literally "other"ed in my school records! Whenever I hear someone say "people of color" or "BIPOC", I translate it to "black" because that's all that they're talking about, or it's a black person using that term. None of my friends who are a different race call themselves that. I feel so bad when people push onto us mixed people the identity of our minority half. This means that they expect us to ignore our white family at best, or demonize them at worst. I don't think that the race-obssessed think about that at all. The woke movement has pushed the representation of mixed couple on TV, but have not thought through how to fit the products of those unions into the neat and segregated slots by which they've sorted the world. How can one child be oppressed and the oppressor, by their definitions. So they go with oppressed, because identity politics is a contest of who can declare themselves as the most oppressed/biggest victim.
Yup I’m Micronesian (South Pacific Islander ) and Asian/Chinese . In the home I was raised with no white culture so I never felt white other than my skin is white if I don’t go in the sun but I hold a good dark tan lol. At school and drs like u said the boxes were white or black and I’m not black nor white . In school I was automatically a white girl to them . My mom said bitd when they moved to America she was forced to choose a side of whites and blacks and she didn’t want to of course but since she was dark the whites didn’t want her and she was automatically pushed to the black side . She said she just assumed white meant born in America . It’s all so ignorant
Well black people are the largest minority in the nation so it would be natural that they have the loudest voice when it comes to speaking on injustices they have faced and still face today. While I agree that the boxes can make you feel like you lose some self identity or are forced to identify with a group you are not part of, this is just how the system works and it is not even a left or right thing. It's just a part of society and something that is done because of human nature. We think best when things are categorized.
As human beings our brains naturally group things and categorize them by commonality. Which is why our society has developed in the way that it has. right now it seems everyone wants to be specifically identified. But we can't have a box for everyone because it's a big world. So even tho I'm not African nor American when I am fulling in forms I know the person reading this just wants to know what my skin color and which ethic features I most likely have. So where there's an option I be more specific if not then it's whatever.
Amala, to your point, if a system reinforces a policy that supports a victim mindset, it will perpetuate more victims. It's Universal Law. Thank you so much for initiating and facilitating empowerment!
I so much admire Amala's ability to look at hot button issues without predetermined biases in mind. We need more people with just such fairness and compassion in their souls.
At school I was a tomboy, with long ginger hair, freckles, braces and glasses. I was brash, I played really rough, with the boys I was part of the in crowd of girls and was a weird arty type who loved school(told you weird) I used to collect the fringe weirdos and drag them into the popular group, I didn't care what people thought of me and I still don't, my best friend is a Christian artist and I'm a gobby ginger but both of us will never turn a person away, she will comfort them and cry with them and I will tell them to get over it your not special and no one is thinking about you, now what can I help you do. I'm weird and if someone called me normal I would probably slap them(not a joke) Not feeling like you belong is part of EVERY persons journey and those that tell people they have to change to find yourselves are evil. Be you, be bold, be timid, be loud, be quiet but be you, you are 1 in 7.888 billion and that is amazing.
It really strikes me that trans kids will walk away from the relationship with their parents over this need to fit into a community or mold that will turn on them as soon as they no longer serve it. Their parents generally always hold out hope to see their kid again no matter how much shit that is thrown at them. Its really sad.
Amala I just want to say you are awesome! I love how you approach debating with the balance of kindness and truth! You inspire me! Thanks for all you do!
Shape's story is heartbreaking. He had and has a lot of mental issues and trauma. He needed real therapy before transition was ever in the table. Just imagine how it would feel to miss having you sex organs. The detransitioners that have undergone sex reassignment surgery have to practice radical acceptance of reality.
@@davidbkg6155 yea.. my husband taught me with the attitude of “all or nothing”, this kamikaze attitude makes it funnier for the whole family to play! Esp since one of my boys hates to lose.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I'm a medical patient for life". So heartwrenching. Like a life sentence. And I'm sure the warnings about this part of the process is glossed over. We sign forms when getting medical procedures stating we know the risks, without realizing gow often the risk is not worth the outcome we we're being sold. He probably thought they were rare or unlikely or didn't consider them. Our younger generations need to know the surgeries are only the beginning of a long never ending life of being a medical patient 😢
That just sounds horrible I never go to the hospital or doctor's unless it's a true emergency and I've only had to go because of children inside of me otherwise I wouldn't have gone for myself because they are true butchers and they are true plague doctors and most of them won't listen to you that I don't care what you say they don't care they tried to treat you like you're stupid and you can possibly know anything because I have a terrible huge ego and a lot of them are evil. We know our bodies best and we do know things that are going on and doctors are just absolutely horrifying and that's just a very sad reality that anybody would ever be their medical patient for life because that sounds like an awful life
I love this whole episode, especially the part about self acceptance and learning to validate and have confidence in yourself. I’m almost 40 and recently went through a midlife crisis/spiritual awakening so I totally resonate with that idea. I can look back throughout my life and see how for most of it I sought others acceptance due to my own insecurities. Now I work to accept myself and as a result I’ve attracted new people into my life who can sense the new confidence I have from my soul rather than insecurities of my ego. With regards to all of the individuals who are going through turbulence related to these issues, I am holding space for them to go within and connect with their soul, the part of them that is forever aligned with God. The best answers come from the quiet within, not the noise on the outside. Thank you Amala for shining a light on the darkness.
I LOVE that you are always so respectful. Like, you are NEVER disrespectful and that is so important. As someone who deeply loves and cares for trans people but is hugely against this new-age trans agenda, I think it's so important to have people respectfully and caringly express their opinions. Because it only hurts our "and it harm none" movement to have the tractivists call us transphobic and shut us down when really, we don't care what a person does to themselves, we just don't want them doing it to children or pushing it as a cure when it is an experimental treatment. So being able to explain why you are against it or even just misunderstanding of it while still remaining caring and respectful is so beautiful and important and I am so grateful for your voice (and Taylor 😊)
And Taylor. So you think a man should be talking about what is what a women wants. I mean 2 men and 1 women talking about what a women really cares about. I mean I'll try to be respectful, but how much of a fool can it take to not realize that.
@@jessicadavidson9007 I'm confused 🤔 Are you upset that a man has an opinion on this issue? Not only do I find that incredibly sexist and demoralizing, but also so regressive. I know so many men and women who misunderstand one another on so many things; why would you want to further that divide by excluding people from a conversation because of their gender? If a bunch of men were talking about testicular cancer research and awareness and told me, "You aren't a man so you can't have an opinion," I would be LOUD as hell about my upset. I can't care about a male issue because I'm a female? I don't have males in my life? I don't have a vested interest in HALF the population of our planet? I should just continue to be ignorant and unaware about issues that men face? Like, do you even see how that's problematic??? We need to create unity and understanding, not division and exclusion. So yes. AND Taylor. On this issue and all issues. Because I like his take, I like that he is respectful and caring, I like ANYONE who is willing to learn and discuss and contemplate and work towards a progressive future. If you disagree with anything I've said, please let me know. I'd be happy to discuss where we disagree. Because I do not believe opinions, genders, politics, class, race, religion, etc should EVER exclude someone from the table. And I'd LOVE to know why you do.
Ive watched shape tell their story and its so heartbreaking. He says how so many things were are arent told to you when transitioning and how wrong it is. If adults arent even completley understanding how can anyone ever expect a child to?!
Honest question. My family's presence in the USA starts in the late 1600's. A member came across as an indentured servant (according to family history), obviously with nothing (less than nothing, not even his freedom). 200-years of small farmers from rural eastern PA followed where I have minimal info other than they lived in the same area and farmed and I suppose did OK overall. My great grandfather (born circa 1900) left the farm to work in Philly's shipyard. Married, stayed married, bought a small place, had a family and did just a little better than his parents. My Grandfather (circa 1925) following WWII, was a book keeper for a larger Philly company. Married, stayed married, bought a little bigger place, had a family and did just a little better than his parents. My father (born 1943) was the first to college, married, stayed married, worked hard, had a family and did just a little better than his parents. My turn (1966), second generation to attend college, worked hard with a good degree, did well, bought a nice home, married, stayed married had two children who have graduated college. I did a bit better than my parents in terms of "success" if viewing class and finances and opportunity (although no one has yet to say I am rich, I am honestly comfortable in middle to upper-middle class, every generation since my great grandfather was also very frugal, comes from Eastern PA farm folk I suppose). I hope my children exceed my accomplishments and are also as happy has I have been. My question, removing Native Americans and Blacks due to their circumstances, what is the status of a 1st generation immigrant to this nation supposed to be? Are they supposed to be as wealthy and have the same opportunities granted by wealth as myself after 300+ years of hard work and slow growth, or the same wealth and opportunities as my 1st generation family member (who was 1 step above a slave)? I hope they have the same opportunities, just realize that my current outcome took hundreds of years to come to the current fruition and the hard work and sacrifice of many people (to whom I am grateful even if I don't even know most of their names.)
Historically there has been barriers in place for black americans. The problem with AA's now though is their lack of discipline,drive and impulse control. They don't seem to realise that the majority of problems would be eased if they married each other and kept the Father in the home (basics really). 2 parent homes lead to higher total incomes, more structure and support from both sides of the family therefore well rounded kids.
I think each side of the affirmative action argument would take your example as demonstrative of their own view: some would say that your ancestors’ success gives you an unfair advantage which should be compensated by giving special treatment to minorities and immigrants, while some would say that we should try to offer a level playing field, so that your ancestors’ success and accumulated wealth doesn’t make a difference. Some would also say just let them all compete without any interference, but I disagree with those, because I do believe that many systems like private education do lead to spirals of privilege (rich people can pay for better education so their kids get better marks and better jobs and then afford private education for their kids etc). I think the solution is means-tested scholarships and adjustments, not race-based. The main source of disadvantage is wealth, and that’s more easily compensated for. To the extent that class/culture makes a difference, it’s very hard to compensate for (are you going to send kids from underprivileged families to a “good values” summer school?).
Just curious, does it matter how you make it to the US? Isn't the important thing moving up and making life better for you kids and leave behind a bit for them to work off of?
I watched you on Dr Phil, next to the comedian, you spoke eloquently like you always do. Dr Phil must like you and value your opinions to have you on the show twice. I’m sure you will be asked back again. You made good points too. I’m betting the Daily Wire are trying to recruit you. ❤
Amala, you and Candace both impress me so much! You're each a breath of fresh air. I applaud your well-balanced, truthful and realistic take on this subject matter. Thank you for taking the stand you do on so many issues many of us don't have the opportunity to publicly take. God bless you Sweetheart.
I would love to see you and ShapeShifter on a 1:1 discussion. His honesty is so refreshing and his willingness to share his story is important to hear.
I'm ashamed, my generation, never enabled , the dream of treating people, by their contributions to society , rather than the color of their skin, gender. 🎉GREAT SHOW🎉
You are one of the most Well spoken, Intelligent, Educated & also Beautiful young ladies that I've Ever come across.. Both on social media And even in real Life! I'm So glad that I found your channel. You make More "sense" than even Most Older people (like Me! ..I'm 54) that I know & I just Love you to Pieces. Keep it Up! Please! The world Needs to Hear you..for Years to come. And btw, Kudos to your parents!! Idk if you have brothers or sisters, but Your Parents did an Amazing job at true Parenting. ❤
My daughter expressed that she thought she was trans when she was 15 we told her that we love her and support her feelings but that the physical altercations can be very dangerous and damaging long term, and as her feelings are important to us her physical well-being has to come first but if she choses to transition after she turns 18 we would support her. Now as a 17 year old she is a tomboy and dates who ever she likes but no longer says she is trans. Where would she be if we had pushed to get those damaging procedures done when she was 15, she is learning to love her body and herself for who she is.
I am a white person, my parents both went to college. My dad became a crack head and my moms college ended up not being accredited. They are both poor and due to their failing in life I haven’t had any help in anything in life. My parents parents set them up but my parents weren’t able to do the same for me. I have had no one help me with anything in life, it kind of sucks but whatever I’m just going to keep grinding and keep trying to make my life better.
Thank you! I'm mixed and I am black and I am white. I'm both and neither but I'm sick of people telling me; my sister and I are black, and my brothers are white. We are multi and that needs to be recognized. We dont fit into either race group.
This also happens to multigenerational mixed race blacks who have a mixed race phenotype. Having two black parents doesn’t prevent you from being told that you aren’t “black” enough to share the black experience. We have a different reality.
I started laughing when they told Candace "that's a horrible thing to tell someone" and "Mark black because you're black." They have no idea the consequences of these policies. I am registered with the Cherokee nation from my mom's side. I have Cherokee in me despite being extremely white. I have always marked white on most profiles because its too confusing to have to explain my ancestry. For applications and scholarships, however, I check the Native American box and upload my Cherokee identification card. Colleges have proven time and time again through curriculum and their acceptance rates that it matters to them, so it should matter to me.
Your worried about explaining who you are? Wow...that's pretty damn sad. Be proud that you have native blood.running through you. It's bad enough white people almost wiped us out
Yeah, but let me get this straight. So you have a women who, who is talking with two men, who are talking about what women think about things, so it must be from something that thier girlfriend or their girlfriend told them. I would say that's to many links in the chain. But she wouldn't want to talk about it women. Because she wouldn't want to contradict another women. Because she wouldn't be able to handle it. You want authentic women talk, take women talking about things related to women, with other women and not afraid of getting a side eye from another women, but she wouldn't be able to handle that
This is the second video of yours I've seen and just subscribed. You're awesome, I'm thankful for wonderful, educated, caring and articulate people like yourself 💗
Amala, I'll never forget the first Black kid at my school in Huntsville, Alabama in the in the mid 1960's. I only saw him through the window, walking between buildings as he changed classes ten or fifteen minutes before the bell rang. He was escorted by an adult and dressed in a suit and tie. I hurts to this day to think of what he might gone through. There was a reason for affirmative action, set asides, and educational quotas. Seperate but equal was never equal. At the time Huntsville was the perfect city to force change. The space race made it "The Rocket City" where the Saturn V Moon Rocket was being build with workers and engineers coming from all over the world to achieve President Kennedy's Goal. That included Dr. von Braun and his cadre of German Rocket Scientists. I was lucky that my family moved to Virginia the next year where racial integration amounted to not even a speed bump. The greatest problem we have now, as I see it, is that there was never a plan to gradually guide us away from the necessary changes we needed back then. After all, fifty years is considered to be two generations.
In Sweden, our school system played a part in minimizing the gap between the poor and the rich in the 1900's. What I believe was really good about it is everyone got the same education regardless of class, because we hade very few private schools and almost everyone went to public school (and our public schools were very good). Kids got to eat full and nutritious meals in school, they got qualitative education and the homework was not too hard or extensive, which means most students could manage it without having to rely on their parents (which by extension means that whether your parents had the time to help you study or not, you could still keep up). In my mom's generation (she was born in 1970) there are many many examples of kids who grew up in low income households who went on to become part of a growing and well established middle class (my mom is one of them) thanks to this (and even some of the "less qualified" jobs also pay well enough to make you a part of the middle class, my dad went to high school and then studied just one extra year after that to become a high school engineer, and his career has gone really well). Sadly, the swedish education system has slowly been changing in the last 30 years, and since then we've also seen the class gap becoming bigger. I know there's a lot of talk about how Sweden is falling apart right now, and the blame is often put on immigrants. What we don't talk about on the other hand, is that Sweden has had people fleeing from war seeking refuge in our country before (for example Iranians in the 80's and 90's), and they've actually integrated very well. At that time, the education system was starting to be reformed, but it was still decent and a lot of the people who came here during that time period say that the reason they integrated so well was because of the school system.
Our school system was surely better before, but todays immimgrants have larger problems than the school. The Iranians that came earlier were generally well educated and West oriented, with a lot of human rights activists among them. Those are easy to integrate in a Western society. If you take the not so well educated "Average Joe" from most Middle East countries who actually liked their country as it was - incuding sharia - but want less bombs and more money: These are far, far more difficult to integrate.
You should’ve. I certainly don’t skip the Asian, White, other, Amer Indian boxes myself. That’s fine if they wanna think I’m Black. I’m that too. Just can’t see me tho🦁
As a french, I do not hear the difference between the two prononciations of "Amala" 😂 And also, it's very American this racial thing. Growing up in France, we never segregated people by skin color. It's so weird for me this culture. Also I job applications, when the company is US based (even for job postings in Europe) it's so weird for me when they ask for my race... in Europe we never ask this thing...
I think we are actually looking and listening to “the difference” with Amala! I’m 61 and I am learning from this compassionate young lady! So impressive!
With the Trans video. I lost a friend to suicide who was trans and it seemed very out of no where. I saw them on Friday in class and on Monday she was gone. I have dealt with this loss for upwards of 5-6 years about what I could have done to help. That discussion really opened my eyes into how I now theorize her mindset was. I really think maybe if she could see that open conversation if she would have felt understood.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. However, please try to understand the society and community you live in to understand how an oppressed individual, like a transgender person, may have had to cope with all levels of assault from people and communities whose understanding of science and human sexuality/gender expression are still stuck in the medieval times. And even some medieval people/societies were ahead of the ones where your friend grew up.
Omg, Amala thank you for being sensible content creator. Thank you for lifting up rather than punching down all while remaining polite and logical. 👏👏👏
Did you know that Amala in Arabic (Egyptian Dialect) is someone to look up to or something to hope for. So fitting to be the name of this bright, smart young lady ❤

I m bi and I ve never felt like a member of the lgbt community. This community is full of anger, discrimination and bullies. The entire point of this community was to normalize lgbt yet now i feel like they do everything they can to estrange themselves from the rest of the world ... It s heartbreaking to witness, just be yourself and dont make your sexuality your whole identity
You dropped this 👑🎤
Ye...it just became too much and they are pretty bitter in my experience and from what I hear.
Totally agree. Have you ever wondered how the LGBTQ community became a thing? Tabloid news journalists created it to keep us all divided. If we aren’t in groups, we don’t fight. If there is no fighting, there is no news.
Beautifully said!
Do you feel they should separate the LGBT from the TQAI+? I follow quite a few transexuals, Blair White, Buck Angel and I also follow Arielle Scarcello(lesbian) that does a lot of videos with Buck Angel and Choloe and Drag Queens. They all talk about how the NOW TQAI+ and Drag Queens are not part of the original LGBTQ in ideology than those of 6+yrs earlier. Some of the top OG Drag Queens do not agree with the way drag queens are now. Same with trans. I highly recommend watching all of them on these controversial issues happening in today's society vs 5, 6 or more years ago.
They do not condone how their group is changing the movement.
The difference between Amala and other conservatives is that she still has empathy where others do not show it. At the end of the day we are still human and have feelings for reasons and she seems to feel for those in these situations
my dad's a redneck kind of conservative and he has quite a few friends that lack empathy and although I'm conservative Christian (LDS) I prefer to listen to christian talks from Russel M. Nelson and Thomas S. Monson about how we never really know what people are going through and it isn't our place to judge but our place to present new ideas to help people that might be struggling
Yes! So many conservative lose me when they take empath, compassion and respect out of the convo(before you come for me I feel the same way listening to liberals). Disagree firmly and hold your ground but let's remember the human
I think the problem is that Conservatives don't get respect from those on the left, the media, and our "President." Conservatives are God fearing, church going, pro America, family oriented, and very protective of our children. But what have Conservatives been labeled? White supremacists, transphobic, homophobic, racist, sexist, gun toting psychopaths. Conservatives who are black are called all kinds of names, including white supremacists.
I have plenty of empathy for people, especially people who are disabled because I have a son with autism. However, I'm not going to go out of my way to support a group of trans activists who are pro child transition, call people by their correct pronouns, or respect those who DEMAND respect.
I respect everyone, but if I get called all these names because I don't agree with your views, there's no point.
I'm with you, I'm an Independent and so although I hate the woke stuff, I'm not big on some of the stuff Ben Shapiro says. I feel like people like Amala, Kim Iversen, and Tulsi Gabbard are what Republicans should strive to be because that will get more Independent voters!
I used to be apolitical but left leaning, due to public school and cultural indoctrination. Didn't know any better.
Now I'm very vehemently anti-Left. What changed? Being the victim of leftist ideology, having my life ruined multiple times by dangerous egregious lies and rhetoric.
When you've been powerless and falsely accused of SH/SA multiple times by weirdos changing the definition, see society backing the breakdown of truth through M2, BLM, CV... see society and the MSM, social media mob witch hunt and celebrate the (wrongful) persecution of those accused and still to this day regale is their ignorance, you have a hatred for them and their ideals.
I've seen the worst of them. Seen hov not even incontrovertible evidence convinces them as they smugly and ideologically hold true to dangerous beliefs and ideals, rhetoric and practises that have already and is actively destroying other people's lives.
Experience the gaslighting, the aggressive radical censoring and dismissing, the pompous virtue signalling, the shaming, the name calling... be the scapegoat and target of socially accepted radical vitriol due to false and harmful narratives, have your life and livelihood attacked, risk jail time or job loss, or destroyed family + friendships, and be in constant stress... and you too would be quick lose compassion and empathy...
As you see them protect and celebrate clear criminals with false narratives, allow innocents to suffer through false narratives / actively punishing innocents, see them ignore and create propaganda for the suffering of the innocents, see them be hysterical hypocrites when their own mob leaders do what they supposedly stand against... see them freeze bank accounts because of political affiliation, see them brainwash and sexualize children... Etc etc...
It's not hard to understand why many Conservatives / non-Lefties in recent times have lost a lot of compassion.
When my daughter was 11 she made statements that she wanted to be a boy. I told her that I would love her no matter what but that at her age she needed to just be her and not worry about sexuality. That when she was older and more mature than we would better explore those feelings. She’s now 14 and she has told me how grateful she is that I let her work through those feelings and didn’t push her into the trans path or dismissed her completely.
Just out of interest is your daughter a tomboy lesbian now?
Ive said the same to my girls not knowing what was out there at the time. One daughter wanted to remove her boobs as well as later on remove her uterous. I told her that doing so would put her into menopause I told her the importance of having her parts even if she doesn't want kids these parts are necessary. Also they both dabbled with sexuality and again I told them that admiring female form is normal and just be a kid. Dont be so hung up with sexuality as its normal. I also gave them vibrators and told them to take care of own business and not to have sex unless they are willing to get pregnant. Im glad I said all of this as I now see how damaging the public school system is. I am a tomb boy and so yeah I get it.
My name is Annette and I live in Texas….80% of the time I get called Anita. What the heck, I’m used to it and I’ll answer as long as they aren’t calling me a dirty word
I am so very glad i was born when i was. I used to dress in boys clothes because they were far more comfortable. Now, my 1 year old girl hates hairbows and i had a woman tell me she knew she was a boy and tearing off her hair bows and ties was her trying to signal that she doesnt wanna be dressed as a girl. I was torn between laughing in her face and decking her in the face to get her away from my child.
@@6422022you gave your children vibrators? That's fucked up.
I am a "white" (I do not care about the pigment of anyone's skin) male disabled Marine Corps veteran and went to college in 2009 at the age of 41. I took a class that focused on scholarships. As I was researching scholarships that I was qualified for I played around with checking different boxes. When I checked all of the correct boxes I was eligible for 6 scholarships. I changed my gender to female and was eligible for twice as many scholarships. When I changed to being a male "black" student, I was eligible for about 25 scholarships. When I then marked that I was a "black" female the list pretty much exploded. This conversation about the enrollment in colleges and universities can and probably should go farther than just "race." I think that college/scholarship applications should have neither "race" nor gender attached to the individual.
Wow!!
😮
I 100% agree
Positive Discrimination, as it’s known in the UK, is an absolute disgrace. Some sectors fairly recently, have even told white males to not apply for jobs. They were taken to court for discrimination & lost. It should be merit only whether college/ work.
About 18 years ago I was going through information about college scholarships that might be available to my soon to be graduating son. My husband was a self employed builder and we were/are definitely not on the higher end of income. We were concerned about how we would afford to put him through college. He is a white male. Other than his good scores on his ACT and SAT tests, there wasn’t much available for him. Thankfully, because of those scores, and the fact that he could live at home and attend a local university, he was able to go through college with some grants and scholarships.
I wish I was as wise as Amala when I was at her age. You are beyond the bar of intelligence at 22.
I agree! I think this every time I watch her!
she also has such a kind heart. both of those are hard to find these days at that age.
Amazing how intelligence and conservatism at a time a young go hand in hand.
I’ve come across many young and wise people. I would say shes good at marketing and advertising it for sure.
Cap
I love what you said “you don’t fix past discrimination with current discrimination” nail in the head ✌🏻
I say pay them as much reparations as they want right now. By the end of summer, the dollar will have collapsed and become worthless. That will show them.
What do you think legacy students are? They get the most for being in a traditionally white school?
Reparations are pointless when nobody involved in slavery is still alive
@@thomasaristycruz8997 until they end legacy admissions I don't want to hear anything about affirmative action. Because those students still have to actually have good academic performances to even be considered. We hear about how life isn't fair and isn't supposed to be fair. why does it seem like ppl only care so much when it's black people getting the advantage?
@@Shanejmaster Exactly. Legacy is basically affirmative action for the rich
Amala, I only recently discovered you when Jordan Peterson interviewed you. In this short time I find myself, an empty nested 48 yr old white/native American single dad who is a tattooed "redneck " biker, absolutely amazed and won over by your open minded stand and your compassion for others. You pass along truths while not sacrificing the ones on the other side. Very well done and I'm a fan for life . Thank you
ironicly, I agree with you as a white /native american... this "girl" is well spoken and presents so graceful. a total joy to listen to.
I'm actually really eladed to read your comment. Native Americans are, imo, the more forgotten, abused, and overly used, than any other race. I'm not Native, but I can appreciate how much yall struggled, where inslaved, murdered, abused, and boxed in, over the years.
I count my blessings that I had a VERY honest World History and American History teacher in HS (same woman). She literally told us this is not what I'm supposed to teach, but I'm going to tell the truth anyway!
And she did. Bless her, and bless NATIVES of this land. Yall deserve more respect, honor, and nodiriaty than you recieve!
Charles... you're now on my prayer list radar to gain eternal life through the forgiveness of your sins because Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again. Without a relationship with Him, you are already condemned forever to the lake of fire. Only a fool refuses this offer. John 3:16.
Thank you sir, I am the same as you! Stay the course AMALA!!! 😎

I too have discovered a lot of wonderful brilliant people Via Jordan Peterson I'm a new convert and a new Guru and I wish I knew about him years ago:-)
I am transitioning into conservatism and I am so happy to have found someone who is conservative but isn’t overly aggressive, angry, and someone who has compassion and is fun.
Read "Unfriendly Skies" by Rodney Stitch. Modern assassination is often by Airplane crash. read "The Rockefeller File (free online)" ... by Gary Allen. if u read these you will know truths few know.
Lol is that how it works? I’ve never really been either but I figured democrats were more for the regular people….now it’s just so insane that I can’t pretend like it’s not lol
Actually conservatives are more for the common working class folks. We are less racist, less judgmental, less bigoted than ANY liberal. The problem is, the liberals deny they are and very loudly claim to the world that it's conservatives that are. 😅 We just don't take their bait and participate in their name-calling games, lol. I've been conservative all my life, and it truly breaks my heart that there has to be so much animosity and discord toward us from the other side. If we could get rid of the radicals that go too far each way, we might actually be able to agree on a happy medium! 😊❤
In my opinion the ones screaming are always on the liberal side. It's frightening.
"You do not fix past discrimination with current discrimination" THANK YOUU
Just turned 50 year old white guy here who came from an underprivileged background and I love Amala. Give me an entire planet of young people like her and we’re gonna be alright.
Sorry, pal, but most (almost all) people don't think for themselves but go along with the flavor of the day just to be accepted.
?@@rodneyjhackenflash4865
Same here My Guy,, this young lady is a voice of reason in a sea of Leftist Poison
@@rodneyjhackenflash4865someone sounds mad
Exactly!!! I'm a 55 year old female, and had truly been terrified thinking of my retirement years in the hands of the youth today 😳 But Amala and a few others I've found on here have given me some hope. ❤
Appreciate you bringing to light systemic racism against Asians in college.
Race should not be asked on any application for work or school.
Systemic Racism against asians? Do you feel that way because you do not think you're smart? I dont know of any system that actually holds ANYONE down from success.
@@wowhausstudios5514 As for work, it's kinda funny when people would consider racism: if the application generally ask you whether your English is your second language or not; RATHER than your race.
100%
What's the racism like against Asians in college? they seem to do quite well with their studies, not that that's related.
Amala, your past experience with a teacher telling you to "mark black" reminds me of when I had my first child (over 30 years ago). I went to social services just to try and get childcare long enough to gain employment and handle expenses myself. The person who was handling my application (who was black), literally told me that I didn't have enough children or the right color of skin. I was completely shocked she actually said that, but it was the truth. I did respond that I can't do anything about my skin color and why would I want more children when I couldn't afford to take care of that one at the time.
By the way, I have just recently stumbled across your channel. I would love to see you in the white house. That would allow everyone in the country to hear your intelligent approach to the difficult conversations that "We the People" need to have.
I thought that it was funny that Amala was talking about how people watch Dr. Phil while doing laundry. I’m literally watching her while doing my laundry😂😂
Sometimes I watch Amala while cooking and washing dishes hahaha
Me too and other chores 😂
I am listening and doing my laundry right now.
I’m Folding clothes 😂
I feel so called out
I just finished folding laundry.
I was a tomboy but I knew I was a woman. Thank you for this conversation.
same !
Right on. Skills are not a gender. Just because I am skilled in many trades does not make me want to be a man. Nor does it make me appreciate them less. Because I KNOW how gruelling 8 to 12 hours of hard labour can be I appreciate them more. I just "glow" when they appreciate my skills.akes me proud to be working amongst them. (Sometimes not so much)
Same! I was a tomboy when I was a kid. Being rough and tumble as a girl doesn’t mean you want to be a boy. It just means boy clothes were more comfortable and their toys were more fun. I’m still the same way as an adult, and I know I am not a man.
I was a tomboy too! Definitely a heterosexual woman still like doing tomboy things.
when i was growing up on the 1960's (Yeah, I'm OLD) Sandy was a tomboy who was part of my "Troop" we all saw her as "One of the Guys who is a Girl" she was equal and asked for no special treatment and did everything we all did explored, Camped, made bows and slings with the rest of the guys she was cool and accepted she grew up to be incredably hot one summer she laughed when her Tits started growing in, but she hated wearing a "Titty Sling" he mom insisted on strapping her into, she would shuck it the moment we were out of sight. Good times!
if she grew up today she would have her head messed with and put on a ton of drugs when in reality she just wanted to have as much fun as the guys did and we all accepted her as "one of the guys"
If they want to be fair. Remove names.. Race. You can include grades, sports, extra curriculars.. financial. Your ability for resources. That's it. Everything else is blind. I don't need to know your gender, race, how you identify.. those are things that lump you into groups. Not who you are as an individual. Maybe I'm wrong but at least it's fair. I think anyway. Always open up debate which we should be.
I agree, because the reality is racism still exist, so if you just remove the race of the student from the application all together then it makes it fair for everyone.
@@aliciabelle6139he said to remove the name gender etc too so that way all that’s left is their transcript
This is genius and would me us more a homogenous society
Doesn’t Harvard have a limit for asian students who are academically stronger to make it more “equal” and “diverse “ if they were to hide their names and race wouldn’t havard have lots of Asians and that wouldn’t make it a more diverse place for exchange of cultures
@@isaac7326 no. But we also wouldn't have legacies because Mommy and Daddy bought a building. It would be based on the person not how the identify . Their merit and you can take finances into account to allow those who aren't rich to have a chance if they are good enough
Amala always seems so adorably bright and cheerful even when she's talking about things that bother her. I love her personality so much!
When I was getting my bachelor's degree I had a conversation with a professor about what I should do next. I was uncertain about continuing my education by getting a masters degree in a STEM field and I wanted my supervisors opinion on the matter. When discussing he told me that I should just go for my masters, even if I was unsure, because I am a woman and as a woman in STEM I would be selected. He did not once mention anything about my grades or my capabilities. I busted my butt to get good grades and participate in multiple opportunities in our department, but all he talked about was how my gender would get me positions. That was such a depressing conversation for me. Gender and race should not be considered when applying for a position. I want my accomplishments to speak for me, not my gender.
On the other hand, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Women who were denied access fought for YOU to have it with federally mandated quotas (after decades of fighting for the right to education and job promotion), because without them, men in control were / are never going to give job and opportunities to anyone else but white men. You be the judge of your accomplishments, understanding that white men are resentful that they have to 'play nice' and it fits their selfish narrative to act like Affirmative Action is unfair against THEM. Know that your foremothers fought for you to have some doors open up, which they never did for them. Nevermind that some thoughtless male supervisor didn't consider your ego and acknowledge that OF candidates for pursuing masters' degrees, you, as a woman, could get preferential consideration. It's okay to be proud of yourself and know that you earned a spot in the program. Quotas have been totally responsible for moving the needle on this issue, and they take generations to really take effect. We're not there yet. Be grateful to your foremothers; who would be your grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, and, understand that white men are very very slow to change in this area.
I would like to put forward the idea that the professor knew you were competent and considered it a given. My professors encouraged me to get a PHD in my STEM field and said I would have no problem getting a job as a woman and an American. (How many of your professors were foreign?) But I was also one of the top students in my class. Dean's list, yadda yadda yadda. They didn't need to tell me that part. What they were telling me was what the job market would be like when I got out, which i didn't know.
@@jenniferpearce1052 yes, I've seen this explained before by professors. It's the parts that are obvious to them and others but society needs to hear those parts because if they don't they get offended. (I'm by no means saying the op is offended. Just speaking on obvious things needing to be stated, kind of like every word thats between the parentheses)
It's sad- but your professor was right.
Well said!
I feel like we've raised a generation of narcissists. When you're constantly concerned with your own feelings, your own appearance, you miss out greatly. I've been guilty of these moments, and as I've grown, try hard to check that!
You're very right. And that goes for a lot of white people to it's just truly gross how entitled kids are and how they don't think they should have to work and they don't think they should really have to do anything and everything is about themselves and about their happiness it is not good at all this fake woke stuff and fake knowledge and fake wisdom is awful.
So true - raising generations of people that think their happiness is dependent on how the rest of the world adapts for them. Recipe for unhappiness really…
Dr Ramani (has youtube channel about narcissism) has stated that in her profession she has seen a huge rise in the number of people that have narcissistic tendencies back when Myspace was starting. She states that social media is LARGELY responsible for this.
Parents haven’t raised their kids in our country by design, facility day care have.

I had a friend in college who was trans (mtf) and about 2 years into our studies he began detransitioning. This was back around 2005-2007 and even back then the people in the LGBT+ clubs would openly call him names and threaten him in the halls, calling him traitor, bootlicker, physically shoving him sometimes. And these were college age people, not kids or teens acting like this. It was appalling. He eventually left and went to another college to avoid it. We still talk on occasion and he's doing well now, but it still blows my mind how that community is so fast to turn on each other.
Where there's untreated mental illness and a lot of immaturity, it's not surprising they act like kids.
That’s insane! Thanks for sharing your story 😊
I am fine with trans people they are people and entitled to human rights, period. But I have a strong objection to forcing it on people, children, changing the meaning of language. Forcing people to ignore biology. The hate and vitriol they spew on even there own group. I think this is mental illness In that they need the acceptance from other people on their terms, if you can't accept yourself it's a little crazy to think some stranger is going to validate who you are.

Oh how sad.
As an experienced dancer, I was invited to participate in a choreographed piece with the message “make love, not war”. I took from it a sense of unity and community with the fellow dancers there as we practiced, rehearsed and performed. Every dancer was holding a small flag in their hand and at the end of the piece, BIPOC members were asked to keep their flags raised in the air. I couldn’t help but immediately feel the division and confusion, coming to terms with the fact that I have white skin and was not considered a part of that community, therefore thinking it would be unacceptable to keep my flag in the air. It conveyed the message of the piece differently to me at that point. The most important thing I tell myself about this experience, is not to remain silently angry and know that I have a voice and valid opinion. I have yet to tell the choreographer how it left me feeling, considering we are still friends.
Love this episode I am a gay man and I came out in 08, in 2013 I went through a bad break up and subconsciously began to hate gays so I thought at the time I wanted to be a woman but it was a phase I am so glad I took a damn anti depressant and realized that I am just a girly gay guy. My point being I was an adult when that happened now we push this ideology on children, it sickens me. #theconservativegay
I'm bisexual. Or as I like to say "I'm a gay Republican" lol
Kidding aside though- I'm glad you were able to figure things out. The desire to thrust these conversations onto kids is vile. Sex in its entirety, outside of the reproductive cycle, should not be taught or discussed in schools.
you were depressed and started have negative feelings because of a guy. you cannot compare yourself to actual trans people. like what is wrong with you?
@@dayweed85at is wrong with you. He's pretty much saying the same thing.
Amala, The reason why they get a push up is because they are white. Explain this to me. Why isn't every American protect under the law equally? Let's talk about the pass 34 years. Five Black men were wrongfully convicted for a rape they didn't commit. I was 24 years old when this happened. This wasn't slavery, Reconstruction nor Jim Crow. You're an intelligent woman, but you need get more education about our country.
Honestly I have so much respect for gay guys who can take a step back and be like “I can like feminine things and not need to become a woman”
Amala thank you for saying we are all human. As a transracial adoptee my sister constantly reminded me how black I was, how nappy my hair was and that she considered me less then. Now as adults I do feel sorry for my sister because I see her insecurities in all the things she would say and do to me while growing up. A lot of people make negative remarks about me because I do a lot of activities alone like concerts. Growing up and having the sister I did taught me not to wait around for others. If there is something I want to do or experience I’m going to do it! I will find community at the activity because we are there for a common reason. One of my favorite things is becoming friends for a day with someone! I love people! ❤
Yo are well adjusted person. We make our own community. What is there to say about people who can't be alone......must not like themselves very much. You must love yourself and I'm sure people who meet you and know you love you right back. Keep getting out there
Great attitude! Hair that’s “ Nappy” isn’t a bad thing, or a good thing, it’s just you. Nothing wrong with you!
@@gregkasza1925 other black people use that term though as an insult.
The only reason some black people are ok with it now, is because the natural hair movement became a thing.
My sister is mixed race, has incredibly curly hair and people would throw paper in her hair at school.
Most of those girls, as women, now want curly hair 😂
She's always had beautiful hair.
Your comment was so enjoyable to read ❤ smiling for you! My sister struggles with insecurity too and intense social aggression. I can’t be around her anymore bc of it. I sincerely hope our sisters find peace.
My younger brother was the same gene pool as me but I was an insecure child (narcissistic mother , temperamental character) and i honestly made his life a living Hell. I’m glad you didn’t let your sister affect who you are x
My lesbian daughter was convinced by a school nurse because she was butch that she must be trans and the school nurse without asking permission gave my child a chest binder and did not show her how to wear it properly and now her chest is wonky and to say I want that woman to pay is an understatement. I am only sorry I did not realize until I went to size her for a bra. The worst part is she is now feminine and is in no way wanting to be trans and this is why I know not all kids can pick this for themselves at young ages.
Woah that is messed up
I hope you sued..they're just handing out chest binders ? The fuck...
So you had such a bad connection with your lesbian daughter you didn't discuss with her if she was femme or butch or trans or straight? What kind of a parent are you ? Yeah that is messed up, when the poor girl has to talk to a school nurse.
You blame other people very easy for a job you should be doing yourself.
@@meghanc8887 Apparently the mother didn't really talk this through with her daughter. Trouble with most LGBTQI kids, they got to educate their parents.
İ hope you sued! İ would have!
I love this! As a female minority, I want to compete against the best in academics and the work force, regardless of race or gender. In the same way I want to compete, if I am able to prove my skills as being the best, then I should be rewarded at the same level. Fair is fair.
When my son applied for college I was searching for scholarship opportunities that would apply to the major he was seeking. Most of the scholarships available were for those students of color. While I think that is wonderful to have those opportunities available to people of color, not all white students have the privilege of coming from a wealthy family who can afford college. Color doesn’t always dictate socioeconomic economic status.
I remember back in 98 or 99 (yes I'm old) when a young woman was suing the University of Michigan law school for discrimination, other were also suing the regular admissions practice too. Both used affirmative action. At the time Lee Bollinger was the school's president and at a press conference a reporter asked why just black, native American, and Hispanics were considered for the minorities to benefit from the practice and not Arab Americans or Asians. And he literally said "the Asians don't need it, they score higher than anyone on tests". It just floored me. For multiple reasons. First it was blatantly racist. Complimentary, but racist nonetheless. But also that no reporter pointed that out. There was no follow up. Also it was never retracted or apologized for. And because most the people in the room on the morally superior than thou side silently nodded at the response. As if to say, yep they are inherently superior to us in that respect. I've never forgotten that. That a group so dead set on appearing colorblind couldn't comprehend their hypocrisy.
That’s not why it’s because Asians aren’t a minority at the school. They’re only like 2% of the population so they’re overly represented at most university so they normally don’t get those points. But why go after minority they don’t get any extra point for being minority exclusively. Whatever points they give out for being minority you can also get if you’re first generation or poor. The game changer that’s not fair is the legacy points the “affirmative action points” (that help white men too but no one complains about that) that don’t make a huge difference you still have to have merit oppose to legacies that can be a far behind you snd get it. It’s not messed up to let in a poc, 1st generation or poor person with the “affirmative action “ points with a 3.8 over a white, rich kid that has parents with degrees but they have a 4.0 and and ten more points on the SATs. The privileged person has a path with zero resistance so that 4.0 weights as much as 3.7 of a person that had to work part time, dodge gangs& bullets, take care of their siblings and ran track for the state 😮plus having to navigate applications with no help & no sat prep they didn’t even know about the PSATs. Hella Asians apply from oversee firstly and they’d rather have those Asians at the school because they pay international rate so that the American Asians applying are already being over represented by 2x already. Schools aren’t hard on letting Asians in a lot of schools have over 15/20/30% Asian population why are you mad at other minorities because less of them apply making their representation low therefore the school is in need of those students so the campus culture is richer🤷♀️
Im Asian Am married to a Nigerian Am still to today and were both retired medical professionals. We’ve been in this country for over 45 years to date. Raised two biracial boys older a practicing lawyer and the younger in finance. They were raised in a white community and went to public schools from kinder to college. They never thought for one minute that they were victims of racism. We both used the best practices that made us succeed in our African and Asian cultures together to raise them very well despite the sociocultural issues in this current American environment.
Because of our shared cultural values they rejected racism as a factor of success and instead held on clear to the values of meritocracy. They both took after their father’s African’s physical appearance but with much lighter skin tone from their Asian side. They believe that they became successful because of their brains and not because of the privilege from the color of their skin.
Im watching you for the first time. Im a fan of Candace since she became famous.
@@kimwhatmatters4085 you don't get the same points for minority if you are poor that's crap

I remember 1970. I must be ANCIENT. 😅
The person talking about loosing his penis, his story is absolutely heart wrenching. His name is Shape Shifter and he did an interview recently telling his story. I truly believe his story is so important for people to hear, he can speak to this issue in a way no one else can. He is extremely uncomfortable speaking about it, but pushes those anxieties aside because it's more important to try to warn people from making the mistakes he has made. He was truly brainwashed by the ideology and it has caused him irreversible damage.
😢
Shape is so real.
His life is definitively tragic but the way he uses his story to teach a lesson and make people reconsider decisions to chop off their parts makes me respect him even more. Turnin your own pain to help others is truly selfless.
Jazz is also a sad sad case! I think once he gets away from his family, he'll admit his transformation was a big mistake! I believe Jazz is compensating for the loss of his penis by overeating!
I'm a straight man who has been around the LGBT community for many years due to my industry. I've noticed the same thing that you brought to light about not being accepted when you were young. I saw this in a large part of the LGBT community. But, this happens in the straight community as well. All of us have suffered through not belonging and trying to fit in. When as Taylor said about just being yourself, that you really start living.
Amala, your parents must be very proud. I was an absolute idiot until I was like 28. I cannot believe you are only 22 (saw some other comments that mentioned it). Keep it up, you are amazing!
I'm a Latina and when I applied for my job race was never a question and even my interview was through a phone call. I can confidently say that I got the position due to merit and life experience. I think if race were a question I wouldn’t think the same. I’m a teacher
When I fill out paperwork now and it asks my race I always check the 'prefer not to answer' one. I think if more people start doing that maybe we can move past the whole race thing.
I don’t think “Race” should even be a question like why does it matter?
Good idea because so many ppl mixed up that we should've been passed that.
@@Raphaeltheslayer I've been told it's for running demographics and pulling statistics.
For the record I don’t agree with the one drop rule nonsense. However, I get called names constantly and I don’t always respond either.
I always check everything I’m mixed with.
I’m 25% hispanic, and when I was a senior in high school my guidance counselor told me I was technically eligible to mark hispanic on college and scholarship applications. (She told me 25% was the cutoff or minimum requirement) Which I thought was weird to do since I look more Caucasian, so I never mark the Hispanic part on applications. Just feels like I’d be trying to get a free ride into something based on the fact that my dad is half Mexican, since I myself don’t suffer from any oppression or discrimination.
When I was a kid, I didn't have female friends. I hung around boys, played baseball, football, etc. but I never felt I was male or confused. It was called being a tomboy. Once I got older I just changed and became more feminine. No thought to it.
Well someone found out that Zulu has like 14 genders words so now we should confuse girls when they pickup a baseball....
@@dougmasters4561 I'm almost 70 and there were feminine sports for girls and masculine sports for boys. I started highschool in the 60s and the different sports were taught by teachers. Obviously, times have changed but it was fought against by boys and men when girls first wanted to play "male" sports in the 70s and 80s.
I had my DNA tested, and discovered all kinds of ethnicity that no one in the family knew anything about. My mother is Puerto Rican, and my father was supposedly mostly German. When I received my DNA results, I only had about 12% Spain and 4% native Puerto Rican, and only about 8% German. The rest was Scandinavian, British, Irish, Native American and African (Mali and Congo). I suspect that most Americans are actually mixed race, and what we see on the outside is even more superficial than anyone thinks. No one in our family has any idea where all of these origins comes from, especially the African and Native American comes from.
I believe center-right or conservative women like Amala and Candace have their fingers so firmly on the pulse of modern culture, in 10 or 15 years they would be political forces to be reckoned with. We need people like this to change the course of our country and set us back on path. I have never heard either of them ever espouse political asperations though, but man they would be so strong, so led by their morals. Of the two of them I think Candace would be the most likely to do pursue a political career, given her Blexit movement and Trump support, but I'd love to see Amala do the same. I see Amala as a calmer, less divisive Candace. Amala is an extremely sharp orator, able to go head to head with expert opponents. I hope she will do some more debates and talks in front of audiences. Also Mark Walsh is just razor sharp like no other. His New Mexico event was just unreal. We have such amazing figures in conservative independent media right now that it gives me such hope for the future.
Hahaha these two Candace and Amala get zero love from the black community they are a joke and the white community will let them in the room but no to the table trust that.Fact is when shit hits the fan white folks will bail on them and black folks will tell them sit down and get a plate we got you.
Well said!

I’m so glad that I discovered you and your team.I have worked, played, broke bread, and shared life with people of all races.
I have always respected people who are different than myself especially when it comes to race. We will all be ok one day with the help from people like you. Thanks!
The most racist thoughts I have ever had (really not that bad and never actions or words) stem from the fear of being racist. As irononic as that sounds it is the truth and I refuse to teach my children to fear being racist but to just know they aren't because they look at people as individuals not groups.
Of course. Because in the real world, the things we are trying to do now, are promoting racism. Affirmative action is racism. Giving a title of “black business owner”, for example, is breeding racism. Why does it matter if you’re black or white? And if it doesn’t matter, why do we have to put a colored title on people? It’s paper thin ideology.
cringe
That makes sense and that's okay
There's nothing more racist than people who try too hard not to be racist to me, so I get it 😂 understand that I am black, but it ends there. Everything else that you learn about me is about me as an individual, with the exception of perhaps a few cultural things, but even then that's more to do with my West Indian background rather than just being black.
@@ayarriba9093 you sound like a transformer more than a human being... do you come with a manual?
We love you, Amala. You did a great job on Dr Phil. And Candace, wow, she's fiery, but so true.

I wonder how many 13 boy/girl ever thought as I did at 13 and started my period. I had cramps so painful I would throw up and cry in pain. I prayed to be a boy so I wouldn’t have this. I never told anyone this time in my life. A year later I was doing better on birth control. I’m 64 and so glad I didn’t have someone forcing me to do all the change. I love men and glad I’m a mother too. My heart feels for all who feel they need to be surgically changed and then have regrets. Much love to them all.
A boys life is unending pain and terror, and now the idiot woke have made it worse.
I'm too calm(without drugs), so maybe some other dude will crack under the pressure. Two things will happen - a. he will kill himself, or b. he will go on a murderous rampage.
Remember woke, you are creating the monster.
Many people that you, temporarily, champion are victims of whatever they suffer from.
Pedos are made, but are more likely to be female(70%, according to the FBI), hence why you want to redefine what a woman is. You want to move it around so that, again, only male pedos die.
Lesbians and gays are made, not born. Milo Yianopolus pointed this out. It's always done by an older, trusted, adult.
LGs(because they hate woke for commandeering their societal attention): what is your first homosexual memory? Obfuscating with "I was drunk/high" is not allowed. If you have to be drunk/high to have a certain sexuality, then you don't have that sexuality. Whomever got you to drink/smoke that much, to remove your consent, to make you compliant to their wishes, made you what you are. There is a well-known word for that.
Right?! Only us biological women REALLY knows how it is to be female. Period. I honestly don't care that some of them are delusional, if they change their genitals.
I read girls in other countries, such as Africa, that their poor young girls get put through genital mutilation. I'm so thankful I was born in America.
The appearance on Dr. Phil was a good one. You were switched on, engaged, speaking absolutely coherent sentences (lol) and making sense. And you looked good, too. Well done, Amala. I'd not be looking forward to you as my old HS debate opponent. Applause, m'dear, applause 👏
The guys promoting racial quotas, on the other hand, spoke gobbledygook.
The discussion about your biological sex regardless of what you pretend to be should be had before the first date. Starting a relationship on such a major lie is a deal breaker for many people.
I genuinely love you and Candace Owens so much. Beautiful smart woman with a great message. I always enjoy watching your videos. I know God is working in and through you. Keep being the voice of truth! BLESSINGS!!❤
My dad has been marking Other and writing in American forever now. What is great about America is that we are the great melting pot of cultures. We have a bunch of people with very distinct and different cultures, and we have people with a blend of those, and then everyone adapts and takes the things they admire (or don't) from the cultures around them to better themselves (or not). It's a beautiful symphony of human interaction.

My gosh, Amala, you put this whole situation into words better than anyone I’ve ever heard. As someone who always thought that the definition of racism was just someone believing that they were superior to another based on race, the definition has lost all meaning, as it’s now used for things that aren’t even remotely racist. It’s basically become a buzz word thrown at someone that differs in any way.
Also, as someone who grew up in the D.C. Metro area, I grew up with school mates of all races. We never gave it any thought. We all dated each other, spent the night at each other’s homes, and spent our days being the best of friends. In fact, I never thought of the differences between us until they were made abundantly clear after the George Floyd riots. We have been called white supremacists because we were born white, or that we should apologize to our black coworkers because we are white. I mean, I’ve heard all kinds of absolute NONSENSE! While I don’t notice any differences in daily interactions with other races (specifically black people), I notice that I have grown resentful. That I am not as open hearted about everyone like I was all of my life. It’s truly sad because we, as a race, are NOT racist at all! Systemic racism was long gone and then the left decided to try to stir it up again and create division between us. Now there’s tension and anger. I have ALWAYS been a person of “be kind”, “choose kindness” and now my entire perspective has shifted. Myself and those close to me have NEVER been racist or bigoted to ANYONE, but now it’s as if WE are being targeted for things we’ve never thought, said, did, or perpetuated, and I resent it.
I said basically the same thing about a week ago. I described it as feeling jaded about it all. I've actually discovered that word doesn't evoke negative emotions in others. But the saddest part is the fact I'm using energy to choose my words. I'm a strong dude but eventually I'm going to run out of graciousness. I'm just a man. Ultimately I'll revert and the prospect is sad. It's happening with all people right now. And it doesn't discriminate
Yes! I am starting to feel resentful also and it's making me feel guilty because I've always been a live and let live, love thy neighbor as thyself kind of a person but my tolerance is wearing a bit lately. I've been all over the world, I've had friends and boyfriends of many colors, been Midwestern nice to a fault to everyone, and no side of my family has ever been remotely involved with slavery, so how am I now the bad guy? (girl) Thank you for sharing that because I've been afraid to admit it! And by the way, what does that say about what they're doing to their own cause?
I sure feel lifted up in spirit after listening to young people like Amala and others, speak with such down to earth intelligence.
My name is Jorge. Amala's mini "name rant" completely won me over. It is a testament to her humility.
Sameee my last name is Feijo and people pronounce the ‘j’ as ‘h’ so instead of saying (fee-joe) they say (fey-ho) because they assume it’s Spanish. But I usually don’t correct them cuz ik they are just trying to read it respectfully. 🇵🇹
My first name is considered really old-fashioned and rare. So many people sort of think that they misheard or simply can't remember it. - So I end up being called all sorts of other names.
I'm not waisting my time and energy getting emotional about it. But if I'm going to meet these people again, I do gently correct them. Just to minimize confusion.
Is your name pronounced "hor-hey"?
Aight I’m stuck. Is it “or-hay” or “George” ?
@@RanMouri82 More like Hor-He, but yes.
When I was in foster care, I was in the Independent Living program. I was 17 at this time. They promised to pay for college, went back on it and I ended up in a ton of debt (after asking me first if I am mixed race as this was a requirement for the particular program that they were trying to use to get my college paid for- which I am - half White, 1/4 Hispanic and 1/4 Black) I started Collegiate programs in 8th grade). There was also a program available where you can get an apartment once you sign out /age out and they pay for part of it, I was denied. I was so angry and went to my case worker's office and demanded an answer why I was denied for these programs and entitlements as a ward of the state. My case worker said that the honest answer was "Because you are not Black enough" Then I became even more angry and said "Why are you under a belief that Black people need everything 'spoon fed' to them?? Do you really feel that a Black person cannot succeed on their own without YOUR precious help??!"
This is why I LOVE this channel. Not only do you have a firm set of beliefs, you are able to LISTEN to others, you never make people feel bad for making their points but at the same time you don't allow yourself to be misinterpreted, walked over etc. I also completely agree with your split in opinion with Candace. You verbalised it better than I ever could
This will not do, see to it that that which will not do, won't do and will never
Get a grip & stop talking $hit!
Thank you Amala, Candace for standing up against this clearly racist policy. As an Asian parent who worked very hard to give my sons a better future it pains me to see in 2023 that we are still using race to oppress people. And we are on the lower end of the middle class and its really unfair. Not every Asian is rich.
I’m blown away girl. You are so smart, sharp and brilliant, at the same time sooo young 👏🏼👏🏼😍😍 I’m so excited to see where this all will take you. Keep it up!!!!🥳🥳🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Exactly what I was thinking!! very impressive person!
I was applying to medical school some years ago. My advisor straight up told me I was disadvantaged as an asian male.
Sometimes people will check different boxes to get into prestigious schools. It should be by achievements and merits , not by race !
I’m sorry but I found this so funny😂😂 wth
You should've said you were transgender. 🤷♀️
@@mommamck why?
@@tianamarie989 It’s just the irony I guess😂 my sense of humor is terrible, I gut laughed
I'm also mixed race Asian, and I feel absolutely disenfranchised and not represented in any of the race discussions that happen. In fact, until fairly recently, the only boxes you could check were white, black, or other. I was literally "other"ed in my school records! Whenever I hear someone say "people of color" or "BIPOC", I translate it to "black" because that's all that they're talking about, or it's a black person using that term. None of my friends who are a different race call themselves that. I feel so bad when people push onto us mixed people the identity of our minority half. This means that they expect us to ignore our white family at best, or demonize them at worst. I don't think that the race-obssessed think about that at all. The woke movement has pushed the representation of mixed couple on TV, but have not thought through how to fit the products of those unions into the neat and segregated slots by which they've sorted the world. How can one child be oppressed and the oppressor, by their definitions. So they go with oppressed, because identity politics is a contest of who can declare themselves as the most oppressed/biggest victim.
Very well stated and unfortunately, very true. 😐
Yup I’m Micronesian (South Pacific Islander ) and Asian/Chinese . In the home I was raised with no white culture so I never felt white other than my skin is white if I don’t go in the sun but I hold a good dark tan lol. At school and drs like u said the boxes were white or black and I’m not black nor white . In school I was automatically a white girl to them . My mom said bitd when they moved to America she was forced to choose a side of whites and blacks and she didn’t want to of course but since she was dark the whites didn’t want her and she was automatically pushed to the black side . She said she just assumed white meant born in America . It’s all so ignorant
Well black people are the largest minority in the nation so it would be natural that they have the loudest voice when it comes to speaking on injustices they have faced and still face today. While I agree that the boxes can make you feel like you lose some self identity or are forced to identify with a group you are not part of, this is just how the system works and it is not even a left or right thing. It's just a part of society and something that is done because of human nature. We think best when things are categorized.
As human beings our brains naturally group things and categorize them by commonality. Which is why our society has developed in the way that it has. right now it seems everyone wants to be specifically identified. But we can't have a box for everyone because it's a big world. So even tho I'm not African nor American when I am fulling in forms I know the person reading this just wants to know what my skin color and which ethic features I most likely have. So where there's an option I be more specific if not then it's whatever.
❤ Such a sad reality😢 “Dr John Money” was delusional and the reality he created is such a tragedy.
Amala, to your point, if a system reinforces a policy that supports a victim mindset, it will perpetuate more victims. It's Universal Law. Thank you so much for initiating and facilitating empowerment!
I so much admire Amala's ability to look at hot button issues without predetermined biases in mind. We need more people with just such fairness and compassion in their souls.
At school I was a tomboy, with long ginger hair, freckles, braces and glasses. I was brash, I played really rough, with the boys I was part of the in crowd of girls and was a weird arty type who loved school(told you weird)
I used to collect the fringe weirdos and drag them into the popular group, I didn't care what people thought of me and I still don't, my best friend is a Christian artist and I'm a gobby ginger but both of us will never turn a person away, she will comfort them and cry with them and I will tell them to get over it your not special and no one is thinking about you, now what can I help you do.
I'm weird and if someone called me normal I would probably slap them(not a joke)
Not feeling like you belong is part of EVERY persons journey and those that tell people they have to change to find yourselves are evil.
Be you, be bold, be timid, be loud, be quiet but be you, you are 1 in 7.888 billion and that is amazing.
You're so weird... and that's what we like about you. Great take on the topic.
It really strikes me that trans kids will walk away from the relationship with their parents over this need to fit into a community or mold that will turn on them as soon as they no longer serve it. Their parents generally always hold out hope to see their kid again no matter how much shit that is thrown at them. Its really sad.

"I'm a medical patient for life". So heartwrenching. Like a life sentence. And I'm sure the warnings about this part of the process is glossed over. We sign forms when getting medical procedures stating we know the risks, without realizing gow often the risk is not worth the outcome we we're being sold. He probably thought they were rare or unlikely or didn't consider them. Our younger generations need to know the surgeries are only the beginning of a long never ending life of being a medical patient 😢
This will not do, see to it that that which will not do, won't do and will never
That just sounds horrible I never go to the hospital or doctor's unless it's a true emergency and I've only had to go because of children inside of me otherwise I wouldn't have gone for myself because they are true butchers and they are true plague doctors and most of them won't listen to you that I don't care what you say they don't care they tried to treat you like you're stupid and you can possibly know anything because I have a terrible huge ego and a lot of them are evil. We know our bodies best and we do know things that are going on and doctors are just absolutely horrifying and that's just a very sad reality that anybody would ever be their medical patient for life because that sounds like an awful life

Never ever never seven here’s the answer
Noooo if ifs and buts were saucers and cups then I'd be mad as a hatter
Can we have Shape on this show? She actually sounds really interesting!
I love this whole episode, especially the part about self acceptance and learning to validate and have confidence in yourself. I’m almost 40 and recently went through a midlife crisis/spiritual awakening so I totally resonate with that idea. I can look back throughout my life and see how for most of it I sought others acceptance due to my own insecurities. Now I work to accept myself and as a result I’ve attracted new people into my life who can sense the new confidence I have from my soul rather than insecurities of my ego. With regards to all of the individuals who are going through turbulence related to these issues, I am holding space for them to go within and connect with their soul, the part of them that is forever aligned with God. The best answers come from the quiet within, not the noise on the outside. Thank you Amala for shining a light on the darkness.
Thankyou for your conversation on transgender people. It was so compassionate and I appreciate the fresh perspective and information offered.
I LOVE that you are always so respectful. Like, you are NEVER disrespectful and that is so important. As someone who deeply loves and cares for trans people but is hugely against this new-age trans agenda, I think it's so important to have people respectfully and caringly express their opinions. Because it only hurts our "and it harm none" movement to have the tractivists call us transphobic and shut us down when really, we don't care what a person does to themselves, we just don't want them doing it to children or pushing it as a cure when it is an experimental treatment. So being able to explain why you are against it or even just misunderstanding of it while still remaining caring and respectful is so beautiful and important and I am so grateful for your voice (and Taylor 😊)
And Taylor. So you think a man should be talking about what is what a women wants. I mean 2 men and 1 women talking about what a women really cares about. I mean I'll try to be respectful, but how much of a fool can it take to not realize that.
@@jessicadavidson9007 I'm confused 🤔
Are you upset that a man has an opinion on this issue? Not only do I find that incredibly sexist and demoralizing, but also so regressive. I know so many men and women who misunderstand one another on so many things; why would you want to further that divide by excluding people from a conversation because of their gender? If a bunch of men were talking about testicular cancer research and awareness and told me, "You aren't a man so you can't have an opinion," I would be LOUD as hell about my upset. I can't care about a male issue because I'm a female? I don't have males in my life? I don't have a vested interest in HALF the population of our planet? I should just continue to be ignorant and unaware about issues that men face?
Like, do you even see how that's problematic??? We need to create unity and understanding, not division and exclusion.
So yes. AND Taylor. On this issue and all issues. Because I like his take, I like that he is respectful and caring, I like ANYONE who is willing to learn and discuss and contemplate and work towards a progressive future.
If you disagree with anything I've said, please let me know. I'd be happy to discuss where we disagree. Because I do not believe opinions, genders, politics, class, race, religion, etc should EVER exclude someone from the table. And I'd LOVE to know why you do.
Taylor, I will now and forever be using the poop in the water argument. Can't beat that.
Ive watched shape tell their story and its so heartbreaking. He says how so many things were are arent told to you when transitioning and how wrong it is. If adults arent even completley understanding how can anyone ever expect a child to?!
Honest question. My family's presence in the USA starts in the late 1600's. A member came across as an indentured servant (according to family history), obviously with nothing (less than nothing, not even his freedom). 200-years of small farmers from rural eastern PA followed where I have minimal info other than they lived in the same area and farmed and I suppose did OK overall. My great grandfather (born circa 1900) left the farm to work in Philly's shipyard. Married, stayed married, bought a small place, had a family and did just a little better than his parents. My Grandfather (circa 1925) following WWII, was a book keeper for a larger Philly company. Married, stayed married, bought a little bigger place, had a family and did just a little better than his parents. My father (born 1943) was the first to college, married, stayed married, worked hard, had a family and did just a little better than his parents. My turn (1966), second generation to attend college, worked hard with a good degree, did well, bought a nice home, married, stayed married had two children who have graduated college. I did a bit better than my parents in terms of "success" if viewing class and finances and opportunity (although no one has yet to say I am rich, I am honestly comfortable in middle to upper-middle class, every generation since my great grandfather was also very frugal, comes from Eastern PA farm folk I suppose). I hope my children exceed my accomplishments and are also as happy has I have been. My question, removing Native Americans and Blacks due to their circumstances, what is the status of a 1st generation immigrant to this nation supposed to be? Are they supposed to be as wealthy and have the same opportunities granted by wealth as myself after 300+ years of hard work and slow growth, or the same wealth and opportunities as my 1st generation family member (who was 1 step above a slave)? I hope they have the same opportunities, just realize that my current outcome took hundreds of years to come to the current fruition and the hard work and sacrifice of many people (to whom I am grateful even if I don't even know most of their names.)
That’s a really interesting way of looking at it, and not wrong…
Historically there has been barriers in place for black americans. The problem with AA's now though is their lack of discipline,drive and impulse control. They don't seem to realise that the majority of problems would be eased if they married each other and kept the Father in the home (basics really). 2 parent homes lead to higher total incomes, more structure and support from both sides of the family therefore well rounded kids.
I think each side of the affirmative action argument would take your example as demonstrative of their own view: some would say that your ancestors’ success gives you an unfair advantage which should be compensated by giving special treatment to minorities and immigrants, while some would say that we should try to offer a level playing field, so that your ancestors’ success and accumulated wealth doesn’t make a difference. Some would also say just let them all compete without any interference, but I disagree with those, because I do believe that many systems like private education do lead to spirals of privilege (rich people can pay for better education so their kids get better marks and better jobs and then afford private education for their kids etc). I think the solution is means-tested scholarships and adjustments, not race-based. The main source of disadvantage is wealth, and that’s more easily compensated for. To the extent that class/culture makes a difference, it’s very hard to compensate for (are you going to send kids from underprivileged families to a “good values” summer school?).
@@Lilly-ud6qs Marriage sucks for it does not guarantee stable families let alone success hence the low marriage rate among Black People.
Just curious, does it matter how you make it to the US? Isn't the important thing moving up and making life better for you kids and leave behind a bit for them to work off of?
I watched you on Dr Phil, next to the comedian, you spoke eloquently like you always do. Dr Phil must like you and value your opinions to have you on the show twice. I’m sure you will be asked back again. You made good points too. I’m betting the Daily Wire are trying to recruit you. ❤
I love how Candace jump in and help Amala. Maybe she fell your nervous.
I love both of you. Smart lady's
She didn't need help. Candace was rude and cut her off. Candace has to be the number one attention in a room which is why I don't like her.
Amala, you and Candace both impress me so much! You're each a breath of fresh air. I applaud your well-balanced, truthful and realistic take on this subject matter. Thank you for taking the stand you do on so many issues many of us don't have the opportunity to publicly take. God bless you Sweetheart.
I would love to see you and ShapeShifter on a 1:1 discussion. His honesty is so refreshing and his willingness to share his story is important to hear.
This show never disappoints
Fearless intellect and courageous leadership. Thank you Amala! Love listening to your show!
Too l
Too quick to label....
I'm ashamed, my generation, never enabled , the dream of treating people, by their contributions to society , rather than the color of their skin, gender.
🎉GREAT SHOW🎉
You are one of the most Well spoken, Intelligent, Educated & also Beautiful young ladies that I've Ever come across.. Both on social media And even in real Life! I'm So glad that I found your channel. You make More "sense" than even Most Older people (like Me! ..I'm 54) that I know & I just Love you to Pieces. Keep it Up! Please! The world Needs to Hear you..for Years to come. And btw, Kudos to your parents!! Idk if you have brothers or sisters, but Your Parents did an Amazing job at true Parenting. ❤
I love the logic and discussion you all have. Its so refreshing.
My daughter expressed that she thought she was trans when she was 15 we told her that we love her and support her feelings but that the physical altercations can be very dangerous and damaging long term, and as her feelings are important to us her physical well-being has to come first but if she choses to transition after she turns 18 we would support her. Now as a 17 year old she is a tomboy and dates who ever she likes but no longer says she is trans. Where would she be if we had pushed to get those damaging procedures done when she was 15, she is learning to love her body and herself for who she is.
I didn't find myself or my passions until last year... at 52. It's a life journey folks.
I am a white person, my parents both went to college. My dad became a crack head and my moms college ended up not being accredited. They are both poor and due to their failing in life I haven’t had any help in anything in life. My parents parents set them up but my parents weren’t able to do the same for me. I have had no one help me with anything in life, it kind of sucks but whatever I’m just going to keep grinding and keep trying to make my life better.
Thank you! I'm mixed and I am black and I am white. I'm both and neither but I'm sick of people telling me; my sister and I are black, and my brothers are white. We are multi and that needs to be recognized. We dont fit into either race group.
This also happens to multigenerational mixed race blacks who have a mixed race phenotype. Having two black parents doesn’t prevent you from being told that you aren’t “black” enough to share the black experience. We have a different reality.
I agree…but according to “white” America you are considered black.
Hold up!! How are you and your sister black, but your brothers are white? That doesn't make any sense. Ppl just be saying any ole things to folks
I started laughing when they told Candace "that's a horrible thing to tell someone" and "Mark black because you're black." They have no idea the consequences of these policies. I am registered with the Cherokee nation from my mom's side. I have Cherokee in me despite being extremely white. I have always marked white on most profiles because its too confusing to have to explain my ancestry. For applications and scholarships, however, I check the Native American box and upload my Cherokee identification card. Colleges have proven time and time again through curriculum and their acceptance rates that it matters to them, so it should matter to me.
Your worried about explaining who you are? Wow...that's pretty damn sad. Be proud that you have native blood.running through you. It's bad enough white people almost wiped us out
I love her podcast & show! She’s unique, intelligent, authentic and provides great content❣️
Yeah, but let me get this straight. So you have a women who, who is talking with two men, who are talking about what women think about things, so it must be from something that thier girlfriend or their girlfriend told them. I would say that's to many links in the chain.
But she wouldn't want to talk about it women. Because she wouldn't want to contradict another women. Because she wouldn't be able to handle it. You want authentic women talk, take women talking about things related to women, with other women and not afraid of getting a side eye from another women, but she wouldn't be able to handle that
Exactly why I love her! She's going somewhere, already changing minds at 22.
This is the second video of yours I've seen and just subscribed. You're awesome, I'm thankful for wonderful, educated, caring and articulate people like yourself 💗
Amala, I'll never forget the first Black kid at my school in Huntsville, Alabama in the in the mid 1960's. I only saw him through the window, walking between buildings as he changed classes ten or fifteen minutes before the bell rang. He was escorted by an adult and dressed in a suit and tie. I hurts to this day to think of what he might gone through. There was a reason for affirmative action, set asides, and educational quotas. Seperate but equal was never equal.
At the time Huntsville was the perfect city to force change. The space race made it "The Rocket City" where the Saturn V Moon Rocket was being build with workers and engineers coming from all over the world to achieve President Kennedy's Goal. That included Dr. von Braun and his cadre of German Rocket Scientists.
I was lucky that my family moved to Virginia the next year where racial integration amounted to not even a speed bump. The greatest problem we have now, as I see it, is that there was never a plan to gradually guide us away from the necessary changes we needed back then. After all, fifty years is considered to be two generations.
Love from Virginia ❤
I'm glad Dr Phil is moving back towards his old school personal accountability values.
In Sweden, our school system played a part in minimizing the gap between the poor and the rich in the 1900's. What I believe was really good about it is everyone got the same education regardless of class, because we hade very few private schools and almost everyone went to public school (and our public schools were very good). Kids got to eat full and nutritious meals in school, they got qualitative education and the homework was not too hard or extensive, which means most students could manage it without having to rely on their parents (which by extension means that whether your parents had the time to help you study or not, you could still keep up). In my mom's generation (she was born in 1970) there are many many examples of kids who grew up in low income households who went on to become part of a growing and well established middle class (my mom is one of them) thanks to this (and even some of the "less qualified" jobs also pay well enough to make you a part of the middle class, my dad went to high school and then studied just one extra year after that to become a high school engineer, and his career has gone really well).
Sadly, the swedish education system has slowly been changing in the last 30 years, and since then we've also seen the class gap becoming bigger.
I know there's a lot of talk about how Sweden is falling apart right now, and the blame is often put on immigrants. What we don't talk about on the other hand, is that Sweden has had people fleeing from war seeking refuge in our country before (for example Iranians in the 80's and 90's), and they've actually integrated very well. At that time, the education system was starting to be reformed, but it was still decent and a lot of the people who came here during that time period say that the reason they integrated so well was because of the school system.
Our school system was surely better before, but todays immimgrants have larger problems than the school. The Iranians that came earlier were generally well educated and West oriented, with a lot of human rights activists among them. Those are easy to integrate in a Western society. If you take the not so well educated "Average Joe" from most Middle East countries who actually liked their country as it was - incuding sharia - but want less bombs and more money: These are far, far more difficult to integrate.
Ámala you’re a wonderful person with depth of understanding and compassion. Balanced. Keep up the great work my friend.
This world can be so depressing sometimes and watching you gives me so much hope for the future.
My 23 and Me says I’m 3% African. I should’ve marked black when I was applying for college back in the day.
Missed opportunities. Sigh.. never fear! move on! Start ticking the “black” checkbox! 🤣
You should’ve. I certainly don’t skip the Asian, White, other, Amer Indian boxes myself. That’s fine if they wanna think I’m Black. I’m that too. Just can’t see me tho🦁
I literally said the same thing about college and scholarships when I found out I was 33% Ashkenazi Jewish
As a french, I do not hear the difference between the two prononciations of "Amala" 😂
And also, it's very American this racial thing. Growing up in France, we never segregated people by skin color. It's so weird for me this culture. Also I job applications, when the company is US based (even for job postings in Europe) it's so weird for me when they ask for my race... in Europe we never ask this thing...
You cannot fully love someone else until you truly love yourself.
I think we are actually looking and listening to “the difference” with Amala! I’m 61 and I am learning from this compassionate young lady! So impressive!
41 here, her compassion and wisdom, as well as patience is admirable.
Damn.
You can just tell the world has taken a lot from Shape.
I hope for nothing but the best for them.
With the Trans video. I lost a friend to suicide who was trans and it seemed very out of no where. I saw them on Friday in class and on Monday she was gone. I have dealt with this loss for upwards of 5-6 years about what I could have done to help. That discussion really opened my eyes into how I now theorize her mindset was. I really think maybe if she could see that open conversation if she would have felt understood.
😢 I’m sorry for the loss of your friend ❤
Sorry for the loss of your friend. However, please try to understand the society and community you live in to understand how an oppressed individual, like a transgender person, may have had to cope with all levels of assault from people and communities whose understanding of science and human sexuality/gender expression are still stuck in the medieval times. And even some medieval people/societies were ahead of the ones where your friend grew up.
@@PeGaSus230 You don't know how my friend grew up.
Omg, Amala thank you for being sensible content creator. Thank you for lifting up rather than punching down all while remaining polite and logical. 👏👏👏
Did you know that Amala in Arabic (Egyptian Dialect) is someone to look up to or something to hope for. So fitting to be the name of this bright, smart young lady ❤
Wow that's beautiful
Wow! That's cool!
