If you like Ted Talks to get the liberal point of view obviously there's lots of opportunity because of course liberals dominate Ted.

I just can't get this talk though. Brittany says that time is racist and is controlled by whites.

I saw where she was trying to go but I just didn't connect with her.

See what you think...

Time is racist

everything is racist.

Except anything attacking whites.

Some how, white skin color cannot be discriminated upon ----

or whats really happening -- our pathetic world has actually justified attacking whites...

to recap - racism is the thought of feeling that one skin color is inherently less than others...... except if that skin color is white -- white people are basically sub-human and deserve to be treated unfairly.

If you're white, no matter what you do or how you act, you're a racist. That's the world we now live in. It's ridiculous and sad, but once you just accept that as fact, you no longer have to care what other people think.

It appears to just be another excuse. I have never seen such a group of people more interested in finding excuses than solutions.

They complain that blacks males living in New Orleans and Washington DC live 20-25 years less than whites. And whose fault is it that other blacks are killing so many young black males in those cities and driving the average life expectancy down?

Ben Shapiro said that to keep from being poor in America you only need to do 3 things: get a high school diploma, get a job, and do not have a baby before you are married. Stastically, if you do those 3 things you will not be poor. I wonder what percentage of blacks have done all three of those things? I think most studies show a marked difference in the success of blacks raised in a two-parent household compared to a single-parent home.

I made it 3 mins. Couldn't take anymore. The only thing she spoke to in 3 mins was time is white then rambled on about race in America.

Well she may have a point here:

Exactly. If they can project their problems onto something or someone other than themselves, they think it will solve all their problems yet it merely exacerbates them.

Yeah-well the historical victors get to write history. So there's that.

There's also this:

My coffee cup is white. It contains black liquid.

Coffee cup is racist.

The sun comes up in the East, over Africa, and traverses to the West, much like slave ships.

Sun is racist.

My girlfriend's pure bred chihuahua is white and he doesn't like my brown and black rescue mutt.

Chihuahua is racist. He's also sexist.

The only Ted Talk I've ever seen is 2070 Paradigm Shift. I don't feel like I've missed anything.

I think a lot of people who talk about Ted Talks don't actually listen to them or do listen to them marginally only to say that they listened to them to sound smarter, but don't actually understand them.

Look folks! Our resident racist has come to this thread to provide no substance at all, just to bitch about "angry old white dudes."

What phrase did she use too much to prove you did?

It's so hard to be a white man in America...

Baby Jesus, why was I born with this plight? Does no one understand the burden I carry around on a daily basis?

I just hope we can make it out alive.

I didn't make any comment on the video. I laughed at Balloon Huffer's delightful old man race whine.

Watch it and see if you can get on board with "time has a race".

It's like some sit around looking for was to assign race to inanimate concepts and objects.

I find it somewhat difficult to phathom.

All she said was there was racism in history and it exists now.

Well, no shite.

I don't typically watch stuff like this. I have had enough experiences myself to form a reasonable opinion on the state of things.
