"We all want to feel morally superior. And god gives us people like Kendi and Diangelo, so we can feel morally superior." Hahaha

Im a federally recognized native american, I have to dig deep but I can recognize why native americans may have been against chinese, residential school taught racism, america relocated us, we cant sue for genocide land back because the supreme court ruled in favor of king henrys 1496 claim to all land in north america not under latin or catholic control, whiteness may have meant christianess to folks back then, it started with the declaration claiming we are savages which means to be cool today but meant terrorist back in the day. Then lincoln sent black freed slaves in with guns to relocate us and next it was white folks hiring chinese to run the railroads through our treaty land and claiming that we are backward people while refusing to pay on said treaties, standard things countries go to war over according to the news today or at least sanction. So today native american reds are kept off the social media talking points list and weve left them out of the conversation, ones like these. I dont feel morally superior but i do want my land back and would like to explain the possible paths forward while not missing the colonial beginnings of whiteness. We natives have to go by federally recognized blood percentage or quantum for legal reasons which adolf doesnt mention here. Native americans did not write chinese exclusion laws those were made by white people claiming whiteness while depending on the religious news papers to ignore actual nation to nation agreements that should have kept us paid and educated based off owning the means to production like the white dudes instead of them doing all this racist stuff.

I still have know idea what "valuing my whiteness" or "benefiting from whiteness" means.

Hey Jacobin! Please keep these segments free to watch in their entirety! I feel like I've learned so much from watching the Jacobin Show and all of the great guests you guys regularly have on, I don't think there's anything quite as accessible as the stuff you guys put out. I subscribe to the magazine and want to support Jacobin's growth but the youtube media side of things feels like something that should stay free.

Walter Benn Michaels looks like Steven Spielberg mixed with Bruce Cockburn.

What is the difference between a worker and a capitalist? Nothing: the worker worries 24/7 about earning his salary, the capitalist, on the other hand, worries 24/7 about earning the worker's salary.

Bringing in history: WEB DuBois tried to bridge racist gaps in the movement, but he was ultimately defeated in his efforts by those failing from the ‘white’ side of the ledger. Granted that was a long time ago, but it is a real fact that racism harmed the labor movement and materially helped the actual KKK.

Can someone link me to this full video? I can’t find it and I should have access as a member

Very interesting - but I did want to point out that at

When I learned about Whiteness in my rhetoric theory grad course last year, I'm pretty sure our readings and professor explicitly made clear it wasn't a transhistorical concept but one that shifts through social and historical contexts

Class politics are consistently defeated by race politics; getting around this isnt to claim race isnt a factor; its to convince some racist people to work toward their own interests alongside those they normally wouldn't. It has not gone well to a large extent so far.

I find it interesting that this channel has such a focus on those challenging racial disparity within this capitalist system, but don't call out those women challenging the systemic sexism in that same structure.

Now colonialism and imperialism that has plagued the poor for centuries... that's what needs to be addressed. Stand with NESARA!

Why do these discussions about the white working class and whiteness always have to be had by non whites?

Idk about wanting to feel morally superior but looking for ways to improve flawed biases, policies, personal actions and thoughts come to mind for me.

Commenting for the algorithm

Caucasian people aren't white there lite brown, Nubian people aren't black there dark brown and white and black workers have more incoming with each other than the rich
