The Truth Behind Donald Trump's Racism

[@KatBlaque]

Yes I know it’s comma-la. I was mad when I was editing that I said it wrong. Add it onto the pile of names I mispronounce. lol so to clarify about the cricket thing, I am very deadly afraid of bugs to the point where I can’t face the grasshoppers in my garden rn lol. So in terms of things I would eat, not my first choice

[@Maryxus]

I get it. I'll eat chapulines and most other insects, but I'm like you with the idea of fried spiders. Like, I understand spiders are useful and legitimately cool, but the sight of one makes my skin wanna jump out of itself 😅

[@nirvanaheights]

I’ve had fried crickets before and they were yum, but I understand being weirded out if you didn’t know beforehand loo

[@DeathBYDesign666]

Maybe it would help to think about them as smaller crabs, lobsters or shrimp, they are all somewhat related creatures, they are all basically sea bugs. There was a time when they fed them to prisoners because they were seen as bugs back then. Of course this could turn you off from shell fish so sorry for that. Just saying it's more of a social perception thing.

[@FrozEnbyWolf150-b9t]

I want to try more of them. Yes, I'm Asian American, but I don't care what people say. The fact is that insect agriculture takes far fewer resources than raising larger livestock for food, and is a much more efficient and sustainable source of protein. Certain arthropod species are already considered delicacies, as has been pointed out. Yet conservatives have turned this into a culture war issue.

I am half Haitian, my mother is a first generation Haitian American, and my white conservative father voted for Trump in 2016 and plans to do so for the third time. This video spoke to many of my experiences, but most of all you summed up the anti-Black and vitriolic rhetoric that everyone from white liberals to Christian evangelicals directs at Haitians. I want people to understand Vodou is a diasporic religion that emerged from Christianity and African spirituality, and American media worked to demonize this religion through horror movies like white zombie that depicted Black people as vengeful. Pat Robertson used this trope when he blamed Haiti for the natural disasters by claiming Haitians made a “deal with the devil” to liberate themselves from slavery in 1804. Thank you for including historical context that is so often ignored

I can't count how many times a centrist or a republican has said something along the lines of "oh those crazy radical liberals are saying Trump is a Nazi" or "they're making crazy claims that he's like Hitler". Trump was first elected when I was 14 and my brain admittedly wasn't fully developed. I came from a left leaning family and I have always been vehemently anti-Trump, but being on the internet and around more right-leaning people in my school made me feel pressure to not come off as a crazy leftist. Until 2020, I found myself kind of making myself appear center so I could be "fair" and not look like a liberal snowflake. Even though internally I knew Trump was a sexist, racist, bad person, I knew if I actually said these things that they would be brushed off due to plausible deniability. It's a weird experience that I can only really describe as a sort of gaslighting, to hear Trump and Republicans say and do these things and be told "oh no it's not like *that*!" Even though I no longer fear appearing as a crazy liberal and have stopped trying to appease centrists and republicans in my life, this video is so vindicating to those who have KNOWN Trump is supports racism and bigotry for as long as he's had any platform ever. Your explanation and the way you lay out the facts, evidence, and history are so well done. You are an amazing video essayist, and I also hope that this is the last time you have to bring up the orange man on this channel🤞

There are so many people I wish I could get to watch this video. I taught history for 18 years, and never knew about the US involvement in Haiti. I’m in my fifties, and I never learned about this at all in school. I’ve become increasingly more progressive and leftist because I taught social studies in Texas for 18 years and in library science for another 5 years. Your content really educated me and gives me more things to learn and research so I can be a better ally to other marginalized communities than my own. I’m terrified of project 2025 for so many reasons. I’m voting for Harris out of a hope for harm reduction rather than real support, but she absolutely must win. Such a wonderful video. So many things I hadn’t learned.

When you think about it, caring so much about animals that we designate as “pets” while killing and eating farm animals by the million, is kind of a reflection of how we care about “Americans” but not about anyone deemed “other” in any way, be it immigrant, person of color, queer, etc.

While I'm not Haitian, what you said about Haitian immigrants moving to find a better life in the states in part because the US played a role reminds me of the Vietnam War that was raging around the 1960s to 1970s. While I've been developing this thought for a while, that point really crystalized it for me that maybe my family wanted to stay in Vietnam but they had to move to the US because they were in such abject poverty. Knowing that they suffered the trauma of the war and forced to come here for a better life never fails to make me angry.

I never understood racism. I see it all the time and I certainly understand that a lot of it is implicit bias. I live in Seattle and our racism is usually passive-aggressive but it's still there in spite of the "In This House" BLM signs. It's a middle-class liberal racism that's not always clearly distinguishable from classism. I see the dynamics. I was involved in a public confrontation last month and it became clear that even though it wasn't explicitly racist, it had racist undertones. It involved self-deputization of the one white man who accused a Black man of violating an unspoken rule (which he didn't) and the group of other white people who latched on to that with no other knowledge of the situation. Then after the Black man proved his innocence to the mob, there was that smug entitlement that basically was the same as calling him "boy". They refused to see why what they did was wrong. Eventually, someone who was not originally involved sucker punched him to stop standing up for himself. I didn't know the victim before but we were able to talk, hug, and cry together and he drove me to the train station to go home so we were able to talk more about the issues with liberal racism in the city. White people don't want to talk about racism but things don't get better _unless_ we talk about them. MLK has a quote about how it's very easy for liberal white people in the North to call the racists in the South "racist" because it's also classist. They already looked down on the South. There's always the trope of the poor, ignorant, backwards klansman. But it's also in wealthy liberal areas. This all happened at a gay nude beach, an older white gay man targeting a younger Black gay man. We're not talking about conservatives. It's the "smug wealthy liberal" racism. White liberals are white first. White gay people are white first. White trans people are white first. I'm always disappointed in this fact but never surprised. I'm not immune but I still don't get why people actively engage in this kind collective oppression of others -- white people against Black people and others, straight people against gay people, cis people against trans people. So as far as collective identity goes, it makes sense to stand together to resist that but it doesn't make sense to do harm to other people. How would it benefit me to attack other people? Why would I think I have more in common with the multi-millionaires who live in big houses in these sterile "safe" neighborhoods because they're white than the regular working-class and underclass people of all races? I see people do it. I just don't really understand why they do.

Hey, guess I just wanted to opine that I think it very much does help them, which (as far as I can tell) is why they (we?) do it. And it helps them both personally/internally - so they don't have to confront their own cognitive dissonance or bias - and systemically - wherein they maintain the advantage afforded to them by their privileged class through the maintenance of arbitrary strata. Which isn't to say it doesn't also hurt them, and others. Or that it's a morally neutral stance because it's rooting in, presumptively, pretty basal cognitive biases we build to protect our noggins. I think it's reasonable to say, though, that it's an understandable response even if it's a shitty one. Not sure if your question was rhetorical, I realize after typing this, but here we are, lol.
