A challenge for all the Evergreen addicts: Spot the factual inaccuracies in the linked article. I'll start with this sentence "The two black students were detained in the middle of the night and questioned by campus police for several hours".
@@topherjn I understand that Evergreen has been too lenient and supportive of SJW far-left propaganda, but you continuously call it a shit school. Since you continue to only criticize SJWs and the people running the school over their politics and lack of supervision, but also say the school is only fit for idiots who "couldn't get into better schools" it's clear that you are either full of shit in terms of qualifications for what the school offers academically and not politically, or you're just simply forgetting to include why the school is not only a mess politically but also academically. Or you mean that shit-school merely represents the political bias. But that seems far too basic. Maybe I'm wrong. Please go into more detail. The rant about the SJWs is all too obvious and I agree with that part. I want to go to Evergreen to enlighten the SJWs there if possible, but also because they have a system where it's project-oriented and less about standardized testing and daily homework. If I like to study in odd schedules and work on projects in odd hours, but I get it done and do better than most people (as I have throughout my life), then Evergreen is perfect for me. I also hate SJWs and expect to either have to keep my mouth shut or be a target or revolutionary at the school. But your comments seem to glaze over how the school is somehow generically shit in all ways and that there are "better schools" that all the students of Evergreen "could not get into." No, most students want to go to Evergreen for their different style. It's only been in recent years that Evergreen has been taken over by flagrant overblown social justice nazis.
Hoolee shit Rokku. You are not already embroiled but you are now thinking of enrolling at Evergreen? Seriously man? I would most definitely be giving the whole school, system, and what you are expecting to get AND how much it is going to cost another damn good coat of looking at. I'm really not having a go at you, but you come over as having a slight bias in favour of Evergreen and somewhat of a defence mechanism. You do also realise that qualifications from Evergreen have been "tarnished" and somewhat devalued of late, and there appears to be every chance that will continue or worsen. And why the fuck are you feeling it incumbent on you to go and "educate" these spoiled, entitled, overgrown, infantilised juveniles? You are paying to go there to learn yourself, not be a free educator, or more likely babysitter. I myself wouldn't go with a hundred miles of the place, and certainly NOT while Georgie boy Bridges is still there "steering the ship". I really would be giving this more than a second thought myself, and for any of my family. There are just way too many bad warning signs. The risk is entirely too great. BTW. Have you seen how the enrolments have been heading lately? They have had to close some dorms and "delayed/deferred/put off" the plans they had in place for extending thier housing scheme. There really doesn't appear to be much going right, and thier attitude seems to be to double down and carry on with the head down.
@@petergbrooks - Just because he didn't include why Evergreen is a shit school does not mean that it is not. It is most definitely a shit school. It didn't even have grades in the 90s. Students would grade themselves. It has a 98% acceptance rate. Most of their courses are not even education. It has a terrible reputation in the State of Washington. Even with a 98% acceptance rate they only managed to get 300 students this year.

So even on the way out she got a quarter of a million dollars? Thinking back on how much money I've made in my entire life, and what it took to get it, that actually made me feel sick.
Couldn't agree more. It really is repugnantly repelant listening to the disgraceful, self pitying, victimhood mentality and constant playing of the race and sex card, in fact she has a full deck of oppression cards it seems. The level of indoctrination, delusion and detachment from reality is quite something to witness.

I'm a white hetero bloke. Apparently I'm at the pinnacle of the hierarchy, according to them and thier ideology. Yeeaayyy!! Yet, for some strange unfathomable reason I left school and had to go to work, to be able to fucking eat and remain housed. I was even "lucky" (must have been a bit of that white male privilege kicking in) in that I got an actual apprenticeship, down a bloody coal mine. The very idea of a quarter of a million Dollars, Quid, or Euros as a glad handed fuck off, seems to me to point squarely in the direction where the actual real privilege resides. Sorry, I got a little carried away. I initially just posted to concur absolutely. It does indeed make one sick to the very bottom of ones stomach. So much so that ones toes tend to curl up.
+ Ultracity. Race baiting and then donning the mantle of oppressed victim is a lucrative career. How did this ignorant clown get a job as a professor in the first place? Not only did she hit the jackpot, but that money she got was YOUR money. The money you paid in taxes year after year while doing a proper job.
$250k sounds like a lot but it would be nothing for a lost reputation, networks, even career. B. Weinstein gets an international career, while N. Lowe loses hers, and the whole SJW freakshow sparks a global populist awakening - karma in action.
If it makes you feel any better, she probably ended up receiving only about $150,000. Standard contingency fee for an attorney is 40% which would be 100 grand. Plus what Peter Norris pointed out would apply as well, ie lost reputation networks, career, etc. No other college would hire her when there’s so much video evidence of her bizarre and appalling behavior. She also never made tenure which means she never published anything, except her award winning films that is, lol.
True but this goes beyond George Bridges. Evergreen was this way long before he arrived on campus. Its always been this way. This meltdown is just the logical conclusion of the 40 years leading up to it. Even if he was fired i would be extremely skeptical of Evergreen changing.
Isn't Bridges merely perpetuating the situation? It can change if you put the right person in that position, kind of like it did with our 2016 election. You know the one where everyone would say that nothing would change... BUT IT DID.
What Lowe doesn't understand is Context. In the Classroom, she is the Teacher/Professor/Instructor. So in the Context of the Classroom, SHE is the Power. So in the Classroom, AS THE POWER, if she is bigoted towards a Race... then that is indeed Racist by HER DEFINITION of Racism.
Yep...that's one of the big problems of the "*-ism = prejudice+power" definition. It offers no objective criteria to determine in which scope one ought to measure the power imbalance that may exist. It is pretty much arbitrarily set to the "nation" level, and completely disregards other possible scopes such as "state", "city", "neighbourhood" or "people involved in the immediate interaction".
She does understand context. She just doesn't care. Truth and logic is just one of the constructs that supports white supremecy to her. If what she is saying are blatant lies she doesn't care.
I'm trying to picture what it must have ben like to be a white student in her classroom....I imagine they must have felt very threatened. Perhaps some former students of hers would care to chime in??

(I don't get the first stanza tbh, it seems like poetic bullshit)
@@petergbrooks It all boils down to ego. Greed comes from self. Envy from self. Altruism is the virtue signalling of self. This is not an absolute but it is a truth. i.m.h.o.
Nobody has more free speech than anyone else. RUclips lets most anyone babble. Freedom of speech does not mean that you can compel others to listen and agree. No, I am not going to overlook her behavior. As a well paid black professor, she was a heck of a lot more privileged than me. I don't think she can match my background for a difficult starting point. Nope. I am not impressed by her waving her race card around in my face.
That's the problem with the whole privilege narrative, it doesn't apply to the vast majority of the group it's pointed at, and therefore only creates more resentment.
She has more privilege than a lot of people of many different races. For one thing, how many of us can just take SIX MONTHS "recuperating"? That alone is a massive privilege most working class people never have. If she went back to the 1960s and started whining to the Civil Rights activists back then, they'd either laugh in her face, or slap her and tell her to count her blessings.
I used to go to this college when all of this drama started a few years ago, and it caused so much stress and distracted so much from my educational goals that I had to drop out for fear for my life and mental stability.
I just happened to be reading this the other day, and was struck at the time by its prescience regarding intersectionality (it was written in the 1960s). But the images of Naima Lowe really drove home that part about the "world of hate". “ Because the persecuting majority is vile, says the liberal, therefore the persecuted minority must be stainlessly pure...What's to prevent the bad from being persecuted by the worse? Did all the Christian victims on the arena have to be saints? ...A minority has its own kind of aggression. It absolutely dares the majority to attack it. It hates the majority - not without a cause, I grant you. It even hates the other minorities - because all minorities are in competition; each one proclaims that its sufferings are the worst and its wrongs are the blackest. And the more they all hate, and the more they're all persecuted, the nastier they become! Do you think it makes people nasty to be loved? You know it doesn’t! Then why should it make them nice to be loathed? While you’re being persecuted, you hate what’s happening to you, you hate the people who are making it happen; you’re in a world of hate. Why, you wouldn’t recognize love if you met it! You’d suspect love! You’d think there was something behind it-some motive-some trick.” ― Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man
Isherwood was incredible. Few people today know that his semiautobiographical "Goodbye To Berlin" inspired the 1972 film "Cabaret." In fact, because of PC culture that continues to kill the arts and sneer at anything that isn't drenched in this "Presentism" philosophy, few know about the film. A dangerous dogma has taken over academia and we are all responsible for it to some degree.
Apollo Johnson - 'Cabaret' is one of my favourite films. I find it hard to believe it is little known these days. I'd also recommend his travel writing if you're not familiar with it - though if you're American (especially Californian) prepare yourself for his characteristically frank eye.
@@jungatheart6359 I should clarify. It's a generational issue. Unless Millenials and others who were born after 1980 either love classic films or were exposed to them via parental interest, the ones I have had discussions with are more interested in the current "auto-tune" pop stars like Taylor Swift or Arianna Grande. They have no idea who Liza Minelli or Judy Garland are. They also know nothing of world history even as recent as the 20th century. They do however remember watching the "Cartoon Channel" on cable TV as a child. I am not exaggerating. This is the nightmare my generation created. In an illfated and narcissistic attempt to create a more peaceful world, we thwarted the social values of our parent's generation and kept future youth an eternal "Tabula Rasa". A generation where the only things they know are given to them through corporate owned technology much like the prediction of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" which becomes increasingly accurate with each passing day!
This was again excellent. I'm not for death threats toward anyone. I have however absolutely no sympathy for Ms. Lowe. She has created her situation (boo hoo lying around on her settlement) and has no one else to blame. She isn't doing any good for anything in my opinion. She'll never see it though.
Naima: I have panic attacks and social anxiety, just driving to campus makes me breathe heavily. Also Naima: Uncontrollable shouting and rage, sardonicism, sarcasm and vitriol, all on campus.
That whole literary justification thing of "giving voice to the voiceless" originated with Nelson algren in the 50s when gays basically had to hide and others were truly marginalized. That doesn't hold true anymore. They have a voice now a big one. They just want to force people to listen to them
It's about achieving power and turning the tables, becoming themselves the most powerful. If people with her vengeful mindset ever start running the show, we may be in for some of the same excesses wrought by the French Revolution.
I like the way Benjamin presents his vids, like the series of edits one might choose to do on a draft of a blog post that was written in bits across a period of time. At first, I thought that it was haphazard and unrefined. But, on inspection, it IS unrefined in the same way as the history of edits would show of a FB post or other app that permitted a reader to peer into the depth of what was going on in the writer's mind at the times of writing/or whatever. That's just exactly it for me with Benjamin's vids. They are raw, edited, but show the emotions, the nuances, even the prejudices he had at the time he first wrote or spoke or recorded each bit. This vid is no different from many I have read of his work but it's the decider that made me subscribe.
"If equity is not about the willingness to give something up then what is it about?" - Felix Braffith This is a terrible way of selling the progressive project even though it is honest. It also highlights how divisive the equity-based worldview is and how it puts classes in conflict. It isn't about lifting anyone up or recognising their innate rights it's about pushing some types of people down and expecting, bullying them into feeling that they deserve to be pushed down.
So does this mean that women, as an overly protected, and hyper-sensitive class, and who also have more rights and privileges than men, does this mean, as a man, I should be allowed to (verbally) attack and start defaming women as a whole simply because women are the other, and especially since as a male, anything done from a female viewpoint isn't going to represent me in the slightest bit. In short, as part of a marginalized group whose humanity is underrepresented, and whose group is only used as a boogeyman, and a scapegoat for when things go wrong, it would definitely appear to me that a woman's lose is my gain. Don't be getting mad at me: I'm just putting what this crazy woman has to say into practice, and the fact that it's being used against her isn't my fault, because I don't make the rules, I just exploit them for my benefit and amusement. #femaletears #femininityohsofrail #killallwomen
@@pebblepod30 I wasn't being serious when I used them. I was being deliberately hypocritical, because the point of the hashtags wasn't that we should take a female Communist view of the world (ie. feminist), but that if your going to be offended by a female version of your own crap, then maybe you shouldn't be using a male version of it since turn-about is fair game hence why I said "I don't make the rules, I just exploit them for my benefit and amusement."
I go to Evergreen, have been for two years. The school is a mess in general. Some of the teachers are insane. I'm sure the school is going to close in a few years, since funding has been cut... shockingly. I could go onnnn about it, but it's so great to see an outside view of what's is going on here lmao
Benjamin, despite your best efforts, I found the content of this video so disturbing that the fighter pilot headgear failed to strangely comfort me this time. (Good work Benji, great content/vid editing x)
Watching from the UK , (and we have this cancer in our education system) I hope evergreen carrys on as usual so it will enevitably die thus saving the futures of future students
She has a mental problem to live your life being this hateful and miserable. She wants attention and she found a place to give it to her. She uses being a victim for power and for attention period. She hates and is jealous of white people ...thats it. Why she so worried about what white people have or think. Do your own thing. Go out be successful on your talents. You sitting there a professor at a college and you took that opportunity to poison minds with hate. You wasted your life, no one will remember you cause you are no different than any other hater. Only people that preached love and peace are the ones remembered in life.
Whenever someone says the word “release”, before they are able to get to the next word I say “the hounds”. I challenge everyone to do the same. Bonus points if you say it like Mr. Burns.
hate attracts hate. bitterness atracts bitterness. misery loves its own company. theres some truth to the law of attraction. we are magnets to what we think, breath, say and do. The poor are poor because they think poor. The rich are rich because they think rich. The hated are hated because they think hate and so on.
omg, speak all you want, but I still get to choose not to listen and what to think. I don't care what anybody's color is. I dislike everybody equally unless proven otherwise. I have enough problems of my own.
Exactly! I don't care if someone is black or white... I care if they're nice to be around, and do things I like doing. Speaking hypocritically is a real fast way to get me offside, and there's nothing more hypocritical than a person declaring someone to be racist due to their skin.
When you have confidence to say those things in public and claims later that she has anxiety attacks thats guilty conscience. She know what she is doing and sees the aftermath.
I'm sure she had all those crazy panicky feelings before the mess at Evergreen, it probably got worse because she made an ass of herself and the WORLD saw it. Does anybody notice how she manspreads when she sits?
I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that people like Naima Lowe think the definition of "free speech" is "I speak and you listen and believe", which would explain their antagonistic position towards the concept overall.
I never thought I would hear Iron Maiden's Tailgunner in a Benjamin Boyce video. I must say I LOVE your videos. I found your channel the last couple of weeks and have been binging so many of your videos! Love your work sir!
With regard to the Democratic party, I wonder how many more double-downs it will take to make it implode. The #METOO ostricisation of Senator Al Franken without due process was bad, but they doubled down on it in their shameful treatment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Same tactic, they got 3 women to make accusations, but Brett got a hearing, and the accusations were investigated, and all three women proved to be not credible. Remember when nobody made an accusation unless they had pretty good evidence to back it up? Good times.
that black woman has brought her victim mentality (and status) to master level .. the disgusting stuff she publicly yelled as true are worth getting hateful reactions .. (but not threats!)
Any time I've seen footage taken at Evergreen, I get anxiety. The campus seems like it is a dangerous place to be white. That's the case even if you're a hardcore liberal white without a shred of racism in your body.
I'm in Olympia right now, from Massachusetts, to visit my sister, and I keep thinking I'm seeing you, but really I think all the men here just have the same beard and posture. 😂
Naima Lowe seems to suffer from self-induced hysteria. Ben, have you seen studies suggesting that blacks don't have a higher rate of hypertension because of genetic predisposition, but rather because of the stress of the racism they have to constantly face? I'm not sure I would totally throw out the idea of genetics being involved, but certainly telling yourself how terrible things are and then seeing that terrible injustice as a result of viewing the world through that lens could perhaps contribute to hypertension.
For society to be successful, safe and healthy we must foster the basic premise of human dignity for all, and Lowe and her ilk actively seek to deny that based on race and gender. This sort of deplorable behavior, twisted logic and blatant hypocrisy is why I walked away from the left.
Two things 1. I keep feeling bad for that poor dog she holding when she was telling 2. Ben, what's with the headwear? Entertaining but wondering what inspired it. O, no, I have a third thing, 3. Zoltan? Like the magic machine in Big?
1.) it’s a service animal... kind of like living beef jerky for the emotions. 2.) I was sent a bunch of headwear by my fans and liked the fit of this one, made me feel like the Red Baron of Evergreen. 3.) ruclips.net/video/FZVNIZpnr5g/видео.html
Ms. Lowe seems to think her incivility, bitterness, and anger is justified. She may be right. However, very few people find bitter, angry, uncivil people to be persuasive or likable, no matter how justified those feelings are. That's a simple fact of human nature she and others would do well not to ignore in the future if they want their ideas to be taken seriously.
It's called 'gaslighting'. I did a lot of horrible things but l want you to ignore those because, in the light of my suffering, they were perfectly reasonable, now let's look only at the horrible reaction to my perfectly reasonable deeds. Why are people saying these horrible things to me or about me when I didn't do anything? Confusing? It is and it is meant to be. It's the 'shell game' and it works with most people most of the time.
Changing their mind will be damn near impossible. Once one invests themselves and their reputation into their beliefs they are very unlikely to ever concede.
4:05 “What about the free speech of those who are working to create equity and diversity at our college. What about their ability to express their academic freedom without fear of intimidation?” Why the the hell should important conversations be free from intimidation? These people lacked a loving mother.
People are not able to project their voice as far as others, figuratively and literally. Individual people will have different amounts of success, different talents, different amounts of drive, and different outcomes even in the same situations. Political speakers' success varies as much or more that guitarists and rock stars. Lots of people have no affinity or talent for it, even after practice. There's nothing wrong with that.
Idk, I could be wrong but let me speak my mind anyways. It seems as if there was a calming with racism from ‘70-2010. Now it’s coming out strong from a lot of different sides now....
Why are new students still heading for this school. By the time they graduate the schools death spiral will have effectively rendered their diplomas useless. As an employer I would not want to hire any of the potentially problematic students with Evergreen on their resume.
Reminds me of the black gal who ran into a homeless man with her car, the man crashed through the windshield, she drove home and parked the car in the garage and waited 4 days for the man to die. She asked a friend for assistance to dispose of the body and the friend contacted the authorities. There was public outrage and the woman was condemned and called a monster, to which she responded that she was not a monster and not a terrible human being. Of course, the answer is "yes, she is a monster".
A challenge for all the Evergreen addicts: Spot the factual inaccuracies in the linked article. I'll start with this sentence "The two black students were detained in the middle of the night and questioned by campus police for several hours".

@@petergbrooks
It all boils down to ego. Greed comes from self. Envy from self. Altruism is the virtue signalling of self. This is not an absolute but it is a truth. i.m.h.o.
Nobody has more free speech than anyone else. RUclips lets most anyone babble. Freedom of speech does not mean that you can compel others to listen and agree. No, I am not going to overlook her behavior. As a well paid black professor, she was a heck of a lot more privileged than me. I don't think she can match my background for a difficult starting point. Nope. I am not impressed by her waving her race card around in my face.
That's the problem with the whole privilege narrative, it doesn't apply to the vast majority of the group it's pointed at, and therefore only creates more resentment.
Jemase, "Freedom of speech does not mean that you can compel others to listen and agree." Bravo! Well said!
She has more privilege than a lot of people of many different races. For one thing, how many of us can just take SIX MONTHS "recuperating"? That alone is a massive privilege most working class people never have. If she went back to the 1960s and started whining to the Civil Rights activists back then, they'd either laugh in her face, or slap her and tell her to count her blessings.
I still convincing myself that this "tolerance" RUclips have towards certain content has not some nefarious intention behind.
I used to go to this college when all of this drama started a few years ago, and it caused so much stress and distracted so much from my educational goals that I had to drop out for fear for my life and mental stability.
I just happened to be reading this the other day, and was struck at the time by its prescience regarding intersectionality (it was written in the 1960s). But the images of Naima Lowe really drove home that part about the "world of hate".
“ Because the persecuting majority is vile, says the liberal, therefore the persecuted minority must be stainlessly pure...What's to prevent the bad from being persecuted by the worse? Did all the Christian victims on the arena have to be saints?
...A minority has its own kind of aggression. It absolutely dares the majority to attack it. It hates the majority - not without a cause, I grant you. It even hates the other minorities - because all minorities are in competition; each one proclaims that its sufferings are the worst and its wrongs are the blackest. And the more they all hate, and the more they're all persecuted, the nastier they become! Do you think it makes people nasty to be loved? You know it doesn’t! Then why should it make them nice to be loathed? While you’re being persecuted, you hate what’s happening to you, you hate the people who are making it happen; you’re in a world of hate. Why, you wouldn’t recognize love if you met it! You’d suspect love! You’d think there was something behind it-some motive-some trick.”
― Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man
Isherwood was incredible. Few people today know that his semiautobiographical "Goodbye To Berlin" inspired the 1972 film "Cabaret." In fact, because of PC culture that continues to kill the arts and sneer at anything that isn't drenched in this "Presentism" philosophy, few know about the film. A dangerous dogma has taken over academia and we are all responsible for it to some degree.
Apollo Johnson - 'Cabaret' is one of my favourite films. I find it hard to believe it is little known these days. I'd also recommend his travel writing if you're not familiar with it - though if you're American (especially Californian) prepare yourself for his characteristically frank eye.
@@jungatheart6359 I should clarify. It's a generational issue. Unless Millenials and others who were born after 1980 either love classic films or were exposed to them via parental interest, the ones I have had discussions with are more interested in the current "auto-tune" pop stars like Taylor Swift or Arianna Grande. They have no idea who Liza Minelli or Judy Garland are. They also know nothing of world history even as recent as the 20th century. They do however remember watching the "Cartoon Channel" on cable TV as a child. I am not exaggerating. This is the nightmare my generation created. In an illfated and narcissistic attempt to create a more peaceful world, we thwarted the social values of our parent's generation and kept future youth an eternal "Tabula Rasa". A generation where the only things they know are given to them through corporate owned technology much like the prediction of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" which becomes increasingly accurate with each passing day!
@@jungatheart6359 also, thanks for the recommendation of Isherwood's other writings. I will check them out! 👍
From the human race 'community', I enjoy good literature.
This was again excellent. I'm not for death threats toward anyone. I have however absolutely no sympathy for Ms. Lowe. She has created her situation (boo hoo lying around on her settlement) and has no one else to blame. She isn't doing any good for anything in my opinion. She'll never see it though.
Naima: I have panic attacks and social anxiety, just driving to campus makes me breathe heavily.
Also Naima: Uncontrollable shouting and rage, sardonicism, sarcasm and vitriol, all on campus.
They played the “I feel unsafe” card even before all these embarrassing videos of temper tantrums at Evergreen went viral causing the threats.
Ben you are one of the coolest RUclipsrs on the planet. You calm the waters with very keen insight and articulate commentary. Glad you are here!
Naima's one loathsome hate farmer,
So laziness came to disarm her:
A wammin will run,
When disaster's begun,
In the shards of her fine paper armor!
“Fate harmer”
Fart Warmer@William Sherman
That whole literary justification thing of "giving voice to the voiceless" originated with Nelson algren in the 50s when gays basically had to hide and others were truly marginalized. That doesn't hold true anymore. They have a voice now a big one. They just want to force people to listen to them
It's about achieving power and turning the tables, becoming themselves the most powerful. If people with her vengeful mindset ever start running the show, we may be in for some of the same excesses wrought by the French Revolution.
nobody...and I mean nobody played the victim better than Adolf Hitler...
And force them to believe it.
This may explain why Evergreen is experiencing a "catastrophic" drop in enrollment. Its a toxic day care.
Top tier editing in this one! Thanks as always!
I like the way Benjamin presents his vids, like the series of edits one might choose to do on a draft of a blog post that was written in bits across a period of time. At first, I thought that it was haphazard and unrefined. But, on inspection, it IS unrefined in the same way as the history of edits would show of a FB post or other app that permitted a reader to peer into the depth of what was going on in the writer's mind at the times of writing/or whatever. That's just exactly it for me with Benjamin's vids. They are raw, edited, but show the emotions, the nuances, even the prejudices he had at the time he first wrote or spoke or recorded each bit. This vid is no different from many I have read of his work but it's the decider that made me subscribe.
Naimas boorish behavior is the cause of her panic attacks

"If equity is not about the willingness to give something up then what is it about?" - Felix Braffith
This is a terrible way of selling the progressive project even though it is honest. It also highlights how divisive the equity-based worldview is and how it puts classes in conflict. It isn't about lifting anyone up or recognising their innate rights it's about pushing some types of people down and expecting, bullying them into feeling that they deserve to be pushed down.
So does this mean that women, as an overly protected, and hyper-sensitive class, and who also have more rights and privileges than men, does this mean, as a man, I should be allowed to (verbally) attack and start defaming women as a whole simply because women are the other, and especially since as a male, anything done from a female viewpoint isn't going to represent me in the slightest bit. In short, as part of a marginalized group whose humanity is underrepresented, and whose group is only used as a boogeyman, and a scapegoat for when things go wrong, it would definitely appear to me that a woman's lose is my gain.
Don't be getting mad at me: I'm just putting what this crazy woman has to say into practice, and the fact that it's being used against her isn't my fault, because I don't make the rules, I just exploit them for my benefit and amusement. #femaletears #femininityohsofrail #killallwomen
Exactly
@@odio3965
Those hashtags are immoral. It is the same error of radical feminism. Please don't 🙏
@@pebblepod30 I wasn't being serious when I used them. I was being deliberately hypocritical, because the point of the hashtags wasn't that we should take a female Communist view of the world (ie. feminist), but that if your going to be offended by a female version of your own crap, then maybe you shouldn't be using a male version of it since turn-about is fair game hence why I said "I don't make the rules, I just exploit them for my benefit and amusement."
@@odio3965 Sounds like you're dying to go on a misogynist rant.
Being heard = getting what I want. Remind you of any toddlers?
Congrats, man. Been watching you from the beginning. Great to see you are finding an audience.
Thankya Charles
I go to Evergreen, have been for two years. The school is a mess in general. Some of the teachers are insane. I'm sure the school is going to close in a few years, since funding has been cut... shockingly. I could go onnnn about it, but it's so great to see an outside view of what's is going on here lmao
Did you finish from there or did you transfer?
Benjamin, despite your best efforts, I found the content of this video so disturbing that the fighter pilot headgear failed to strangely comfort me this time. (Good work Benji, great content/vid editing x)
Damn it Benji I wish you were my biplane pilot.
Watching from the UK , (and we have this cancer in our education system) I hope evergreen carrys on as usual so it will enevitably die thus saving the futures of future students
She has a mental problem to live your life being this hateful and miserable. She wants attention and she found a place to give it to her. She uses being a victim for power and for attention period. She hates and is jealous of white people ...thats it. Why she so worried about what white people have or think. Do your own thing. Go out be successful on your talents. You sitting there a professor at a college and you took that opportunity to poison minds with hate. You wasted your life, no one will remember you cause you are no different than any other hater. Only people that preached love and peace are the ones remembered in life.
I hope you keep on because this stuff is informative & I like your style.
Thanks GG 🤜🍻🤛
"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." The Beatles theorem works inversely in equal measure for hate as well.
Great stuff Benj, can't believe i never found this before, had to sub afer seeing that mad looking hat... And your high IQ is refreshing!
Hey Michael! Hope you enjoy the show!
Whenever someone says the word “release”, before they are able to get to the next word I say “the hounds”. I challenge everyone to do the same. Bonus points if you say it like Mr. Burns.
I love how your voice goes into "this is bs mode" when you read any evergreen literature. So good. So good
Equity equals teaching racism.
God! Why was she paid?! Surely it gross misconduct!
It’s as if those affected, including the professor, are lacking the minimal amount of self-reflection required for positive growth as an adult.
You only get back what you put into the universe and behaviour breeds behaviour
hate attracts hate. bitterness atracts bitterness. misery loves its own company.
theres some truth to the law of attraction. we are magnets to what we think, breath, say and do. The poor are poor because they think poor. The rich are rich because they think rich. The hated are hated because they think hate and so on.
I appreciate all of your videos on this topic, but I especially love that in this one it's like little Carl from Up is reading me an article.
omg, speak all you want, but I still get to choose not to listen and what to think. I don't care what anybody's color is. I dislike everybody equally unless proven otherwise. I have enough problems of my own.
Exactly! I don't care if someone is black or white... I care if they're nice to be around, and do things I like doing.
Speaking hypocritically is a real fast way to get me offside, and there's nothing more hypocritical than a person declaring someone to be racist due to their skin.
When you have confidence to say those things in public and claims later that she has anxiety attacks thats guilty conscience. She know what she is doing and sees the aftermath.
Off topic, but the pilot’s hat is incredibly cool.
Carry on.
Naima Lowe brought this on herself. She's a victim of her own BS.
I'm sure she had all those crazy panicky feelings before the mess at Evergreen, it probably got worse because she made an ass of herself and the WORLD saw it. Does anybody notice how she manspreads when she sits?
Jumpcuts, a pilots hat and Naima Lowe... I love it. IS IT ART? PLEASE TELL ME IT'S ART!
Pruus'n Hanna I think it's a visual euphemism for "holding on tight" LOL
Don't forget about his blurry vision and Double Boyce moments. That uh... awkward pose attached to his face... was a nice touch too.
To be art, it would need a clip from Naima Lowe's film where she pours water over her head; just to give us a sample of her [lack of] artistic talent.
I’m enjoying the content on your channel! I also bought The book you recommended
Coddling the American Mind
Thanks Matt! Let me know what you think.
I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that people like Naima Lowe think the definition of "free speech" is "I speak and you listen and believe", which would explain their antagonistic position towards the concept overall.
Correct. They have no idea what freedom of speech actually means.
I love how you often wear interesting outfits and don't even come close to acknowledging it.
I never thought I would hear Iron Maiden's Tailgunner in a Benjamin Boyce video. I must say I LOVE your videos. I found your channel the last couple of weeks and have been binging so many of your videos! Love your work sir!
Don’t we all wish we could abuse people at our job and leave with a $250K payout
SJW's always double-down.
With regard to the Democratic party, I wonder how many more double-downs it will take to make it implode. The #METOO ostricisation of Senator Al Franken without due process was bad, but they doubled down on it in their shameful treatment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Same tactic, they got 3 women to make accusations, but Brett got a hearing, and the accusations were investigated, and all three women proved to be not credible. Remember when nobody made an accusation unless they had pretty good evidence to back it up? Good times.
that black woman has brought her victim mentality (and status) to master level .. the disgusting stuff she publicly yelled as true are worth getting hateful reactions .. (but not threats!)
Very well thought out commentary. Thank you.
Thanks Alan; hope your night goes well.
Good work sir
So what's with the Snoopy headgear?
Thanks! I hope that Prof. Lowe will agree to an interview.
Greetings from DuPont. Thank you for the brief Iron Maiden bit. It got me in the right frame of mind to be exposed to Naomi again.
And I thought I was the only one who heard the air raid siren.
Why does it matter whether its "prejudice" or "racist"? THEY ARE THE SAME
She's a legit Dr. Evil variant with that little dog in her pouch
Sweet kitty. Oh yeah. Good video too Ben!
Thanks Jen 😉
Any time I've seen footage taken at Evergreen, I get anxiety. The campus seems like it is a dangerous place to be white. That's the case even if you're a hardcore liberal white without a shred of racism in your body.
Do to others as you want others to do to you......old but true
I'm in Olympia right now, from Massachusetts, to visit my sister, and I keep thinking I'm seeing you, but really I think all the men here just have the same beard and posture. 😂
"Some pigs are more equal than others."
Benjamin Biggles.
Naima Lowe "encased in love and light."
That's a good one!
Naima Lowe seems to suffer from self-induced hysteria. Ben, have you seen studies suggesting that blacks don't have a higher rate of hypertension because of genetic predisposition, but rather because of the stress of the racism they have to constantly face? I'm not sure I would totally throw out the idea of genetics being involved, but certainly telling yourself how terrible things are and then seeing that terrible injustice as a result of viewing the world through that lens could perhaps contribute to hypertension.
For society to be successful, safe and healthy we must foster the basic premise of human dignity for all, and Lowe and her ilk actively seek to deny that based on race and gender. This sort of deplorable behavior, twisted logic and blatant hypocrisy is why I walked away from the left.
Where is Naima teaching now? What is she doing?
‘Some people have more free speech than others.’ Sounds like it should be a line from Animal Farm.
Taking responsibility is kryptonite to SJWs. They will never go near it.
Responsability is the costumer of hard work.
They are terrified by hard work
2018, Animal Farm, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
Social hypochondriacs. The far left in a nutshell.
I would never hire a graduate from Evergreen College. I do not need the headaches they bring with their entitlement attitude.
I fully support this style of video creation. Well done sir.
At what point...
I ask so many questions to my lefty mates that begin with those three words.
Two things 1. I keep feeling bad for that poor dog she holding when she was telling 2. Ben, what's with the headwear? Entertaining but wondering what inspired it. O, no, I have a third thing, 3. Zoltan? Like the magic machine in Big?
1.) it’s a service animal... kind of like living beef jerky for the emotions.
2.) I was sent a bunch of headwear by my fans and liked the fit of this one, made me feel like the Red Baron of Evergreen.
3.) ruclips.net/video/FZVNIZpnr5g/видео.html
@@BenjaminABoyce thanks for the info. You rock that hat! I like the Zoltan machine better lol
Ms. Lowe seems to think her incivility, bitterness, and anger is justified. She may be right. However, very few people find bitter, angry, uncivil people to be persuasive or likable, no matter how justified those feelings are. That's a simple fact of human nature she and others would do well not to ignore in the future if they want their ideas to be taken seriously.
They don't care about their ideas being taking seriously.
They care about guilting others into giving them money.
I like how you always give us sweet kitties at the end to take the bad taste of too much social justice activism from our minds!
I want that hat and googles ! So cool. With a bomber jacket it would make a great Halloween costume.
Unlearning whiteness...?
Where do you learn it...?!?
Ah, classic Boyce. Last saw that flying helmet back September 2018 I think.
Like the direct exposition at the end, very effective.
It's called 'gaslighting'. I did a lot of horrible things but l want you to ignore those because, in the light of my suffering, they were perfectly reasonable, now let's look only at the horrible reaction to my perfectly reasonable deeds. Why are people saying these horrible things to me or about me when I didn't do anything? Confusing? It is and it is meant to be. It's the 'shell game' and it works with most people most of the time.
What frustrates me most about the term “gaslighting” is that it’s used most by those who do it, while they’re doing it.
Changing their mind will be damn near impossible. Once one invests themselves and their reputation into their beliefs they are very unlikely to ever concede.
Accurate and ably demonstrated, thx Benjamin
The headgear is very apropo
Feed ME!
What parent in their right mind would send their son or daughter to that school.
4:05 “What about the free speech of those who are working to create equity and diversity at our college. What about their ability to express their academic freedom without fear of intimidation?”
Why the the hell should important conversations be free from intimidation? These people lacked a loving mother.
Ground control to Major Tom...... Hey I saw you doing beer bongs in that thing!
People are not able to project their voice as far as others, figuratively and literally. Individual people will have different amounts of success, different talents, different amounts of drive, and different outcomes even in the same situations. Political speakers' success varies as much or more that guitarists and rock stars. Lots of people have no affinity or talent for it, even after practice. There's nothing wrong with that.
what person in their right mind would pay to go to this.
Idk, I could be wrong but let me speak my mind anyways. It seems as if there was a calming with racism from ‘70-2010. Now it’s coming out strong from a lot of different sides now....
Busy Benjamin is best Benjamin
Does unlearning whiteness involve tanning products?
Why are new students still heading for this school. By the time they graduate the schools death spiral will have effectively rendered their diplomas useless. As an employer I would not want to hire any of the potentially problematic students with Evergreen on their resume.
Reminds me of the black gal who ran into a homeless man with her car, the man crashed through the windshield, she drove home and parked the car in the garage and waited 4 days for the man to die. She asked a friend for assistance to dispose of the body and the friend contacted the authorities. There was public outrage and the woman was condemned and called a monster, to which she responded that she was not a monster and not a terrible human being. Of course, the answer is "yes, she is a monster".
felix braffith introducing Robin DiAngelo.....what a poisonous combination
You look so young in this video. It is fun to see a younger Benjamin A Boyce.
Will avoid making humorous guesses at what the A stands for.
I think it is absolutely horrible that Evergreen has not learned from the Day of Absinthe. They need at least a week of Absinthe!
When I saw that PDF on the screen, I was appalled, horrified and shocked. "Indigenous People's Day" should have an apostrophe in it!
