As the main leftists on GMD I was wondering if you could answer a question for me: why do so many people on the left (usually gender and race activists) use the phrase "bodies of colour" often in the same sentence as "people of colour" which seems to imply that not all bodies are people or something? It sounds really strange to me, is there a reason for reducing a person to a body in the rhetoric?

Maybe it's an academic thing...

Short answer:

I have neither used, nor seen anyone use, the term "bodies of color" in any academic writing. I have used, and seen, the term "person(s) of color.

Longer answer:

I have written, and seen others write, about the depiction of "black bodies"; but that's in reference not to black persons, but to black (fictional) characters--i.e. representational figures without personhood but whose appearance is taken to be emblematic of black personhood (the shorthand for this is stereotypes, but that's a bit simplistic).

So critics might use the term "black bodies" when they want to emphasize the ways that a text portrays the ideas, assumptions, stereotypes, expectations, etc. that surround the notion of "blackness," rather than genuine, realized black persons.

The basis for approaching texts in this way is, in my opinion, Ralph Ellison's 1953 essay "Twentieth-Century Fiction and the Black Mask of Humanity," in which the author writes

Despite their billings as images of reality, these Negroes of fiction are counterfeits. They are projected aspects of an internal symbolic process through which, like a primitive tribesman dancing himself into the group frenzy necessary for battle, the white American prepares himself emotionally to perform a social role.

According to Ellison, black characters in much white fiction (from the first half of the twentieth century, at least) are less persons than they are bodies--ersatz figurines, counterfeits, frauds, imposters, bodies without selves. So there is a tradition of writing about "black bodies" in fiction since they're often portrayed as less human than brutish, purely physical, mindless, even animalistic.

Two wealthy Jewish Hollywood women explaining to a non-white Uber driver the privilege he possesses, before having him fired. This kind of shit more than anything makes me question my libertarian beliefs. I'd seriously vote for a (non-Jewish) communist that promised to destroy Uber and Hollywood.

"We ruined America? I am American"

Did I hear that right? Is she implying the Uber driver isn't? lol.

Dude even said he's American in the video lmao. Why is that bitch even taking an Uber? Did she not make enough from Breaking Bad and 24 to take a limo?
 
The problem is that government and corporation are both inextricable and rapidly centralizing. There isn't a single conservative or libertarian with political power that is willing to call that out, and the non-liberal lefties tend to pursue methods that only exacerbate the problem, like treating tech companies as utilities (which is exactly what billionaires want and why guys like Warren Buffet buy out utilities and monopolies rather than competitive industries). Only violent overthrow can unfuck our signalling economy at this point.

So I just got home and listened to it properly, she says she was born in America as if that makes her more American than someone who moved there and became a citizen? Hahahaha.

This is going to completely backfire on her, only a retard would post this to their Twitter thinking it was a win or something.
 
Unfortunately I doubt it will backfire at all. For whatever reason it doesn't seem to be picking up much traction despite being posted on Breitbart, and the one mainstream "article" (Heavy.com) is titled 'WATCH: Uber Driver Goes on Furious Rant & ‘Almost Kills’ Two Women For Being Democrats'. I'm noticing a lot of cool wine moms are rushing to defend their fellow women against this obviously violent male as well. If you're working-class and speak up against the elite class, you're simply garbage and deserve to lose your livelihood (at a minimum).

I think the irony of Milo is that if leftist professors stopped fear-mongering about him, he'd basically vanish. The shreds of popularity he still has are pretty much riding on this idea that he's some evil white supremacist fascist.

(Video is about a female student who secretly filmed a disagreement she had in class with her professor.)

There is no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed. Mocking lower incomes is exactly how those who benefit from + promote wealth inequality the most keep everyday people silent about 1 of the worst threats to American society: that the rich are getting richer and the poor, poorer.

:lol: this fucking phony son of a bitch.
