This was reflected in the 2020 Democratic primary where you had Bernie Sanders on one side who understood it from an economic perspective (but had to give in to the new civil rights movement-what some people call woke but is certainly not synonymous with black voters-by trying to tailor his message) and people like Kamala Harris who ran on representing the 'Obama coalition' which is code for saying she could cobble together the right demographics to win.Īs an example, they didn't get that if you stop executions altogether, you solve the problem of black people being overrepresented in death penalty cases. Whereas, it would be much more sensible to just say everyone needs a piece of the pie. And we'll have to go one by one down the line of each group to make people whole. It seems to me that there is a general trend where everyone is going to have to identify as something to get their piece of the pie. That certainly seems quite plausible to me. The JAMA editor was forced to resign for saying that socioeconomic factors associated with race more than racism affect health. So, I don't understand her responses entirely. We still had 'slave auctions' at my high school in the 1990s, and the governor of my state, a medical doctor, dressed in blackface during medical school. It's not like there aren't real racism issues. But somehow he got through med school, residency, and even taught, and was able to do that while espousing awful beliefs. His problems went way beyond racism, though. If he can practice still and was even faculty at a university, well I just wanted to point out there has been insane racism all around. There have been attempts to shut him down, which have failed. I was implored to report him to the board, but he was so on edge that I got really scared when I was asked to give my name and didn't.

He told us not to eat certain vegetables because they were picked by (name of ethnic group). He made me throw a hat away during one of these 'sessions' in front of everyone because he said it made me look like (name of ethnic slur). The reason I thought of this was thinking back on a 'group psychiatrist' I saw for six weeks who led what is called among other mental health professionals in my area a cult, which I did not know when I started with him. Normalizing it academically is a bit different.

So is guilt useless or not? How can you self-punish yourself by denying yourself bread and be psychopathic at the same time?Īfter thinking about this, I wanted to add that I do think it's a bit unfair to point out just the zaniness of some people of color, and that maybe some of the extremes some people go to are counter-reactions or even some sort of dadaism in response to years of actual horrible treatment. 'I’m saying that talking about race right now like white people are doing, like occupying that much space for something they’ve never actually gone through but see themselves as self-appointed experts as, it serves a defensive function to not feel a negative feeling because if you're teaching about it and you're able to give and help, you don’t actually have to do the thing that is harder, which is feel negative feelings.' It’s all the guilty gluten people.'Īlso funny was the part about saying guilt is the most useless emotion, and then segueing right into talking about the psychopathy of white people-seemingly unaware of the connection between the two. If you actually talk to a GI doctor, they're going to say, “Well, there’s Celiac and there's everything else” with a wink, and you know what the “everything else” is. Everyone has this gluten allergy and you're like, what the f*** is a gluten allergy? That's a psychosomatic symptom. There have been wars all over the world over grains and bread and only here, white people are depriving themselves. I have never seen a level of guilt that I see among white people. ' White people have an intense level of guilt. Her stuff about gluten is funny, like stand up comedy: Like I noticed on SDN there's some new stuff about visions and values, and I imagine it's why one poster who used to be here isn't anymore.Īnd like I am even self censoring right now wondering when she made the comparison of whites to Asians if I can say what I am thinking, but I guess I'll just leave it at wondering if she's at all familiar with Japanese imperialism. I agree with her part about about being able to speak your mind.
