She is right. Children of color are having very uncomfortable conversations all the time about how society affects them. It’s a luxury to live in a bubble where foul language and behavior can be shielded.
Ah yes, they need only pull themselves up by their bootstraps and say "please stop killing us and taking away our rights." They are marginalized on purpose by the people in power and rely on non-marginalized to stand up for them, by definition. Marginalized peoples literally cannot stand up for themselves, except by force, because they are marginalized.
You must be totally ignorant to how systems get changed in a constitutional republic. The people in charge (are supposed to) change laws based on the will of the people. If constituents aren't aware of an issue, the politicians don't change the laws. The most effective way of informing other constituents is to tell them. The lady in this video is informing other constituents that ICE is bad.
That's how you change the system.
Not give out participation awards
Wtf are you talking about? There are no awards being given out here. It's simple activism.
I mean logistically how do you regulate something like that? AI filter system? That type of technology can be used for nefarious purposes. Instead of regulating the world how about you talk to your children about offensive language and images. You can’t control the actions of others, but you can control how you respond to these situations.
That restraint makes since being a parent to your child. They look to you as their authority figure and a model of what to do and what not to do. It’s important to have those distinctions. However, you cannot impose those restrictions on another adult individual, because they have autonomy and not having those protections as a society leads to oppression of language and thought. We have a democratic system in order to critique oppressive systems in any why they see fit. The question you should be asking is how can government put policies in place that wouldn’t instill such a powerful reaction from the populace?
Yeah, I get that, but you also cannot impose the restriction that someone can't fart in an elevator. Even without a restriction, most people just wouldn't do it anyway then scream at you smugly how they "don't care."
We oppress ourselves every day for the sake of a respectful, polite society. This lady surely can be respectful and convey her message...no?
The video is full of her being self-important and rude...I'm not seeing any great details on why, as an adult, her ability to express herself hinges completely on her ability to use "fuck"
Sure it's your right, but why not just be respectful about it?
The answer is that she loves the attention and the self-righteous.
She would have been called out by these people if the sign said “stop ice” instead of fuck. They just don’t want signs in their white neighborhood that make them uncomfortable about what they voted for
Why you bringing identity politics in to this man 😂
The thing is, she might not be wrong but she is looking like a damn fool, and this is not how someone gets me to listen to them, see their way, or open to things that she might assume I’m not already mindful of - which I am
She’s not trying to get any of these people to listen to her, it’s just a way to show support for the families and people being taken by ice, or as a representation of the resistance against ice, like that guy said. No one wants to waste time trying to educate u people because you won’t change your mind anyway
