Controversial General Political Discussion

[Roo]

Watching it rn
The video is all about black=African
Which is untrue

Murican racial categories are so stupid

And now go back to school fluffy😂

Sometimes Africans don’t consider themselves “black”, neither Caribbean’s lol

it can be confusing for non Americans

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Kamala is definitely black by American standards because having one black parent is enough to classify you as black. I believe that classification is due to how slavery and Jim Crow was defined.

However in many African countries, Kamala wouldn’t be black but would rather be classified as “colored”, which is a category for mixed race people used in parts of Africa.

Using African countries' sociology and racial dynamics makes no sense when talking about an American citizen.
By American, and African-American standards, Kamala is black having one black parent. That's it.

I forget the part where she has a black Parent...
IIRC Donald is Irish/Indian and the Mom was Indian.

Donald Jasper Harris was born in Brown's Town, St. Ann Parish, Jamaica, the son of Oscar Joseph Harris and Beryl Christie Harris (née Finegan),[7][8] who were Afro-Jamaicans.[9][10] As a child, Harris learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed in the Anglican Church, and served as an acolyte.

Can we stop the discussions about the color of the skin of racialized people please ? My keyboard is starting to get itchy.

This is section was made for uncomfortable discussions

It's not an uncomfortable one, it's a problematic one

Anything can be considered problematic, it’s why this section exist. If you want to combat the misinformation go ahead. If not stop bitching

 

[Ravagerblade]

If this makes you uncomfortable, you are soft.

You bunch would cry and scream if Trump gave somebody $100 for groceries...

You really want me to start jumping in on the conversation and explain to you just how prroblematic it is to discuss the legitimacy of a skin color of a woman ?




Uncomfortable is not the right word, irritated is better suited.

Like it or not race is real and plays a role in our society. Acting like we can’t talk about it is anti intellectual. If people are propagating misinformation about her race I’ll just point out they’re wrong instead of whining about how bad it is to talk about her race. You do realize Kamala herself talks about her race right? It’s not a taboo subject

 

[Luffy is the mc]

racialized people

What does this mean?

Yeah

I only mentioned it because some people don’t realize there are multiple ways race can be classified.

This is probably better in this case:

does race even matter tho??

It shouldn't, normally...
But when you use race to try to get ahead etc is when it's a problem. It was only recently that she tried saying she's black but in the past she was Indian.

No. Races are not real. But indeed, the concept plays a role in society.

The issue here is that it's not the concept that is discussed here but the legitimacy of the color of skin of a woman. Weither we like her or not, this is not ok.

We understood that there was missinformation in order to attack her, it was debunked, I think we can move on.

You do realize Kamala herself talks about her race right? It’s not a taboo subject

It's not about the fact that the concept is a taboo or not. If you want to talk about racism, we will for 2000 pages if you want. Here, what is discussed is her legitimacy as a black person.

So let's stop that.

What does this mean?

A racialized person is a person victim of systemic racism in the sociological sence. A racialized person can be a person of color or a person with a confession that is racialized by society like Muslims or Jews.
