​@@drunkenskeptic6633 The real issue is the ideology behind all of this oppressor VS oppress narrative.. The diversity equity and inclusion stuff is a part of critical theory, which is literally communism.. They wanted to destroy the family unit, and bring them down for, and destroy current government is there going, they don't shy away from it like they actually say the school all of their conferences. Now, they are talking about universal surrogacy... Where parents do not own the kids that come out of their bodies, but they belong to the state

[@claudeyaz]

In the comments above, I wanted to say that they not only bring down the family unit, but also want to destroy capitalism, by any means necessary.. Remember the Sam Bankman Fried guy? How he believes that you should make as much money as possible, so you can spend all that money on doing good? But he had some off ideologies he was raised with..idk if he believed, ..BUT he claimed to not believe in free will, that you cannot make your own choices, but that your choices are decided by your environment and your privilege etc...apparently both taught to him by his mother..but she also taught the same theory to her college student..that free will doesn't exist. The opposite of self responsibility. But the reason I brought him up, was because it may Seem hypocritical, but actually, people who are true believers in socialism and communism, they believe that you should use the current system, which is capitalism, in order to further your revolutionary cause.. It's where the "by any means necessary" comes in, and also why they believe in violence against their opponents.., it's very dangerous...it is also why they do not care when called hypocrites.. And it is also why when the BLM leaders had taken all that money, and given a lot of it to trans charities and stuff? People didnt care much! Why?, because in their eyes the Communist part of the BLM was more important, than the assumed goal of actually helping African American communities in the USA

How Humankind Came To Be "... Since it’s the new year, I should have said a few festive words that everyone likes to hear, but I see danger is getting closer and closer to mankind. Because of this, Gods and Buddhas asked me to tell all beings in the world a few words that the Gods wish to say. Every word reveals heavenly secrets, and the purpose is for people to know the truth and be given another opportunity to be saved." *** Why the Creator Seeks to Save All Life "...The Creator is the Lord of all divine beings in the Cosmos. He is the maker of the Lord of lords, of the King of kings, and He is the Sovereign of all lives-including the Three Realms’ human lives, spiritual beings, and material things, all of which He made.

As a black man, if I was EVER lucky enough back in my college day's to get accepted into Harvard and then for me to get on campus and ONLY be around black people and exclude OTHER races from my dorm or parties etc what in the hell sense does that make? I might as well just went to a HBCU if I was going to do all of that!! My late grandmother told me my senior year in high school to go to a school college that had all races present (in which I did) and the relationships I still have today more than 20+ years today with so many people who were my friends back then and even today OF all nationalities BEST decision I ever made. I can NOT believe the things I heard today in this video that are going on at Harvard I have lost so much respect for that institution and ALL IVY leagues institutions. The LEFT is truly the most evil organization I have ever seen on planet earth TRULY Satanic.

[@cherylanne6549]

I grew up in a very sheltered white community in the sixties. When I went to college, that was my first real exposure to other races. And I discovered that I liked them very much! In my life, most of my friends have been black. I have spent a lot of time living in Asia. I think it is possible for us to all get along.I have watched universities slowly move back towards segregation and my friends and I have discussed how awful this is, How none of us would have had a chance to become friends if it hadn't been for desegregation. It's very sad. What's happening in the country now.
