An anti-white video at a pricey private school set off a firestorm

If there’s a silver lining to the COVID madness that swept America, savaged the economy, and allowed Democrats to put Joe Biden in the White House, it’s that a combination of distance learning and leftist hubris meant that the cultural Marxism in America’s classrooms hit home – and nowhere with greater impact than in New York, when upper-middle-class, White leftists discovered that the schools to which they’re paying huge sums annually are dedicated to teaching anti-White racism. The latest example was pricey Spence School, a staple for New York society girls. While the story broke three weeks ago, it’s heated up all over again because furious mothers have rejected the school head’s mealy-mouthed non-apology.

The story first exploded when Gabriela Baron, a first-generation American of Cuban descent, wrote a scorching letter to Spence School explaining why she was pulling her daughter out of the school. As the New York Post explained when the story first came to light,

Hispanic tech exec Gabriela Baron fired off a scorched-earth letter to the prestigious Upper East Side institution last week seething that the video — shown to her eighth-grade daughter and classmates on graduation day — “openly derides, humiliates and ridicules white women.

“They sat there in their graduation dresses while the white mothers of the white students – many of whom volunteer, donate, call, email and do whatever the school asks of them – were tarred and feathered in a video their teacher showed them. While their white female teachers were mocked,” Baron raged in the missive, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.

“Mocked” is an understatement. The “comedian” in the video shown to the class called white women “annoying,” asked white feminists “What percentage of white women do you hate,” adding that “there is a right answer.”

I read that black people pay more attention to commercials with blacks in them. White folk don’t seem to care about what color the actors are. So it makes sense that products would use more black actors.

I won’t make any racist comments about who the prejudiced people are though.

The way commercials work is by:

(1) Stirring an emotional response—any emotional response

and

(2) Brainwashing


Imho the advertising uses blacks in commercials to anger and humiliate whites, hispanics and all non-blacks—that stirs the emotions which softens up the brain for the brainwashing.
Remember (what the media wants you to forgot) that the most racist people in America are Hispanic and Asian—so they are very vulnerable to the tricks of advertising.

The brainwashing is done with motion—left right left right and/or up down up down—hypnotizing the brain...

and then—when the rational part of the brain has short-circuited—the pitch (close) is made.

Video advertising is evil of the worst sort—TV programs you!

Don’t forget the desired effect of commercials of reaching target audiences. For whatever reason we’ve reached an age where blacks will spend more of their money on a whim than whites. Part of that has to do with there being a high percentage of blacks in their 20’s compared to a high percentage of whites in their 50’s. So you can reach more impulse/emotion buying audience if you market toward blacks.

I have seen a lot of mixed race commercials also. In some the children appear mixed race.

See my post 4—the mixed race children shown of advertising generate anger from almost everyone of all races—that powerful emotion sets up the marks for the pitch and then the close.

The #MeToo elect Biden movement is over and Hillary is back making cookies for Bill so women are no longer needed except to push abortion.

We are now flooded with Big Pharma mental illness medication commercials they seem to be directed toward women. Women are the new enemy of the Democrat party because they are resisting the Marxist CRT that will destroy every American Institution.

For me it’s all the commercials and tv shows, movies with Muslim women, women In headscarves mixing happily with non-Muslims that I don’t get.

Remove the academic accreditation of Spence School.

My response to being called a ‘racist’ is to start doing what I’m accused of. In Asian restaurants, I tip 20% or more, same for Hispanic, same for Arab. But give me a black waiter...sorry guy, blame Jesse Jackson for your non-tip. And Uber is even easier, since you never see the person again. For healthcare, it’s more practical as I have no way of knowing if the person earned their medical license or was used to fill out a quota. In fact, I was given a reference to a doctor with an African name, was fine with it. But did some more research and found she was born in the US...appointment canceled (they were mad, I suspect they know why I canceled).

So sorry, while I still have some freedom left, I am now using it. Feels bad to engage in collective punishment - but then it wasn’t me or our side that started it.

bothers me cause its BS and been happening for quite a while, along with homos, male and female.
I make it a point not to use any product that pushes the BS narrative representing a small % very small % of the population.

Well I don’t care for the Homo crap. But I have nothing against Men and Women of any color that get married.

Of course I was raised that Jesus loves all - red, yellow, black and white, and it just doesn’t bother me at all. I am more concerned that men and women get married and stay together to raise a family.

That’s the important thing to me.

Well that settles it. Glad the producers of commercials are not virtue signaling.

one of the reasons I record everything I’m going to watch is that I can speed thru the commercials for that very reason.

Blame Jesse Jackson? No, blame yourself for being a racist cheapskate.

The only thing you said that is somewhat justified is being concerned about AA hires. But not tipping blacks when you tip everyone else just because of the color of their skin? What a jerk.

Levi Coffin could never have been the President of the Undergound railroad without the help of Catherine Coffin. many White abolitionists were white and risked their lives to help free slaves.
