He was saying WE (as a people, not just minorities) need to fight against corrupt government.
You are literally criticizing someone for being on the side of fair & equal treatment  |
I just posted this right now, "I understand that and I am in now way trying to troll or start an online fight, but my only complaint is when people try to make oppressive groups or groups in power comfortable when explaining how they oppress others. It makes no sense to me. Not everything has to be done in aggression, but the video reinforces the idea that white people will only listen to other white people. What if the panel was all P.O.C or specifically women of color, would the result have been the same?"
like i said, I am not angry, I am comfortably sitting down listening to Born to Die, and reading a text to use later on in my master's thesis. I watched the video, I understand what it is saying, but it is only a portion of reality. Yes, I understand police brutality, yes I understand government oppression and how that oppression affects other groups of people.
From the video, it is clear who their target audience is and who specifically you are trying to reach, but you asked and I answered with MY opinion and not the opinion of others. You as the OP should not be communicating in the manner that you are if you are seeking to have a productive conversation regarding the video you presented to an online forum of people.
