The reason why this is stupid:

a series of strawmen, presented as if the words were revelatory or damning

Allegedly the after party of the event. I still don't believe this is real.

Is there only one bus at the stop? Does the dog know the bus by anything other than its presence at a specific place?

Sexualization and the objectification of women is not an individual psychological thing. Its a larger social phenomenon. Our society remains sexist and treats women like sex objects. Showing an image of a woman in this pose presents itself as sexual, and when given to a society that readily sexualizes everything about women, then its going to come off as sexist.

I agree with most of the video but the points about 'just don't think of it' mistakes a social-vale-effect for an individual-psychological one.

Hmm...face thief is time or the loss of memory. The woman is trying to ensure the man can remember her face, her personhood, their shared memories, their past. Maybe the face thief is HIS act of forgetting. Almost like the animation serves as a metaphor for, what, Alzheimer or something? But he finally remembers at the end.

I'd give it 3/5

Racism in the US is exclusively anti-black racism. I don't think black people can be racist against white people. Discrimination, maybe. But its still not the same= there is not an entire society backing it up. Anti-black racism carries with it an enormous historic force of precedent that remains in Amerikkka today. A black person is shot by the police every 26 hours there.

Its not just about individual ignorance. Its a consciousness that is reflecting economic relations that the US is built on, mainly slavery and its later apartheid forms.

This video remains interesting, but there are actual substantive arguments to be made against inter-racial relationships that it doesn't elaborate. Mainly, a systematic critique of whiteness and the many forms of anti-black racism, some subtle, some not so much, that are bound to come up in inter-racial relationships.

It was a movie about a woman who needs to overcome her fear and choose to live even if it means without a harness to something (something like 'loss'). Even in the face of complete isolation, human will needs to choose life as an act of rebellion against fear and sadness. Its beautiful. It is a film and doesn't need to be completely realistic.

I love CK but sorry Gravity was awesome.

Because right wing elitists led by a corporate-sponsored neoliberal capitalist in Venezuela against a democratically elected regime massively supported by the country's impoverished and nationalist neo natzis like Spovoda in Ukraine need Jared's support!

Impressed. Audre Lorde was much more then a civil rights activist though. But still impressed.

Fucking A Trained that shit!

Guillotine this smug piece of shit

Rwanda, CAR, all of these places that see poverty, murder, etc are all the consequence of foreign intervention. The regional instability is a direct result of American and European intervention for the past three hundred years or so.

There are many reasons. It is complicated. But that doesn't mean that its just a mess we can't understand.

Sending resources doesn't mean anything when the people themselves either don't receive it, or it doesn't actually empower anybody. What Africa needs is revolution and real economic independence. Not hypocritical philanthropy.

jesus wasn't white, if he existed at all

I like Bill Nye. But this whole argument treats 'Africa' (as only one example of a region of the underdeveloped and exploited world) as the nebulous hell-region where bad things happen. He cites examples of these bad things, but then, in a characteristically bourgeois fashion, he focuses on the consumptive problems (not enough aid, not enough to eat, no enough medicine, etc). And who is responsible for this? The first-world, capitalist zones of power (the US, Europe, 'civilization', etc).

Why don't we actually look at the production-side of things. Why can't Africa produce its own resources? It once was able to, very efficiently and without problems. That is, until imperialism happened. We are taking about a continent that was broken up into artificial nations, where agriculture was transformed into cash crops, where millions were shipped off as slave labor. We are talking about a continent that has tried for hundreds of years to fight for liberation for itself, only to have these imperialist countries keep their stranglehold on its neck.

My point here is that the whole discussion of more or less foreign aid presupposes an Africa that cannot feed itself. The solution is not to continue a dependent relationship. The solution is a sustainable and liberated Africa, who has economic control over her resources, and political freedom for her own people. the solution is self-determination, not should the US try to feed more of the kids? (whose starvation is rooted in the US's wealth. )
