Wonder what structure made it so that a white woman had to write a take about how (allegedly) her POC students saw this a white privilege, rather than one of her POC students or a POC in a similar position of power publishing this opinion.

    Remember when MSNBC had a "body language expert" on to basically say that Bernie was a conniving jew that was up to something sinister

    i teach in the bay area in a 90%+ POC community and bernie is far and away the most popular politician among the kids. he's pretty much the only name most know well enough to have an opinion on besides trump. this teacher is using the kids as her "see, i'm right cuz they said so (cuz i told them to say so)" shield. the bay area is full of overschooled $150k/yr+ professional educator sickos.

      this is over zoom that she's teaching, so they're probably totally checked out and just giving responses that will make her keep talking

      He also clearly was wearing a suit underneath it. It's just that it's fucking January and he's approximately a thousand years old.

      Fuck.

      The best part is he wore a god damn suite. He just wore a fluffy coat and mittens over it because he’s an infinite old grandpa who’s earned that right as all old people do.

      Where’s the equal anger for warren wearing a similar outift?

        I don't understand, why would not wearing a suit be white privilege or evil in some way or another?

          They were originally saying that if a women dressed like that she would be shat on.

            Even if that's true (and I don't really think anyone would care tbh), so? Are people supposed to dress as if a misogynist would shit on them if they were a woman and dressed that way? It reeks of people just desperately trying to find reasons to be angry at someone.

    Mittens are privilege and the more mittens you have the more priviledged you are.

    Just read the article. She doesn't really explain the take, and she also doesn't outright say that any of her students actually saw this as white privilege. The closest she got to was:

    What did I think my students should see?

    Hmm.

      so... she's literally appropriating the perspectives of her students

      who may or may not even be substantially PoC

      to say that PoC find this racist.

      new frontiers in appropriation, not just of the culture, but of the mind the self the soul. this is skill.

    "many ways"

    "that my students can see and feel"

    This is how I describe opinions that I definitely haven't constructed from thin air, when I talk like Trump that's when you know I'm serious with serious ideas

      They spent two election cycles trying to use the fact that men talk over women frequently to make it seem like constantly discussing about how loud he talks isn't a dogwhistle.

        constantly discussing about how loud he talks isn’t a dogwhistle.

        I've noticed a trend in my personal life that the only people who criticize groups of people for talking loudly are white people. I don't know if I'm confirmation biasing or what.

        Anyone with projection is misogynist. Using this metric, I have determined that Dramatic Sopranos are the driving force of the patriarchy.

      OK so my grandpa was disabled for a long time due to frostbites BUT he didn't lose any of his limbs. Does this count as white supremacy or not? Maybe just a little bit?
