Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the nations weird American Dream mythology needs to change particularly in the minds of cisgendered and poor white citizens.
The rising Democratic Party lawmaker from New York told the Intercepts Deconstructed podcast this week that poor white people need to accept that they benefit from their skin color, and more so if they identify as their birth sex.
I find the solutions for white communities to be very painful because its very painful for a community to understand and have to go through this like, you can be the idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people, she said Monday. And going through that realization is very painful or even just economically for people that were born with silver spoons. Its very painful to admit that you had advantages.
The lawmaker then pivoted to gender politics and the really hard decision for Americans to admit some privilege
of some type. Im a cisgendered woman, she said. I will never know the trauma of feeling like Im not born in the right body. And that is a privilege that I have, no matter how poor my family was when I was born...

Im exceedingly concerned. We are heading down a brutal path at breakneck speed. So many things that we would never have believed would become mainstream have become religious tenets of this brave new society established by the most corru0t, sordid and mentally deranged amongst us. Even the Nazis would take a back seat to the current culture that rules America.
Nothing good is ahead of us.

FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN: I want to be one.
REG: What?
STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me ‘Loretta’.
REG: What?!
LORETTA: It’s my right as a man.
JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA: I want to have babies.
REG: You want to have babies?!
LORETTA: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
REG: But... you can’t have babies.
LORETTA: Don’t you oppress me.
REG: I’m not oppressing you, Stan. You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA: crying
JUDITH: Here! I— I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG: What’s the point?
FRANCIS: What?
REG: What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies?!
FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
Which the idiot Reconquistadora will label as “evil racists in blackface!”
LOL
Predominantly white civilizations have been so unsuccessful. (sarcasm)
Once academia spewed that logic and reason is the perpetuation of white cishetero patriarchy , I concluded that all is lost.
Feelings are more important than facts.
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
And worst of all those elitist, privedged bastards dare wear blackface to ridicule and taunt AOCs brown/black constituents.
fk that racist bitc*
But I doubt she really is willing to admit that much of what she has achieved in life is due solely to her appearance, and not her intellect.

White privilege. I’m so sick of that term. I keep hearing it over and over and over again. Among friends. Among my church folks. So tired of it. A well off black man from a well off family has far more privilege than a poor white person. People do benefit from some advantages others don’t have, but race is hardly the biggest advantage. Wealthy background, being healthy, being good looking, being part of a protected class.. ect ect ect. all confer great advantages. What may seem like an advantage in some cases may in fact be a disadvantage in other cases.

What the leftists like AO-C don’t seem to process is that this “privilege” concept they’re continually beating us over the head with is entirely based on situation and/or location. Are there situations/places in today’s USA where it is advantageous to be white? Yeah. Are there situations/places in today’s USA where it is advantageous to be black? Yeah. The “privilege” is a function of your surroundings.
Moreover, I would argue that the concept of “privilege” is essentially the inverse of the older idea of “discrimination.” Meaning, rather than pointing out the discrimination that a black person may feel in some situations and condemning those who would discriminate on the basis of race, the leftists have converted this situation into a wide-spread accusation, that white people have “privilege” in all places/situations.
Finally, in 2019 I would argue that if you want to talk about “privileges” that others don’t have that have the most positive impact on a person’s life, I would say having two married parents that pass down a coherent value system, who value education, who have expectations for their kids, all in the context of a stable household is a much greater indicator of future success than being white. So, I acknowledge my dual-parent household privilege. I did nothing to earn it.
Painful as in no more DC/Big Government. The country did pretty well when the Government was shut down.
AOC reminds me of Michael Jackson. Nobody in her close circle of friends is willing to tell her shes a nut job. Lets hope she keep blabbing away. She is the GOPs secret weapon.
So, to make things better for everybody, we should work hard to make sure that, at birth, everybody identifies as white, and then teach them to identify with their actual sex.
Then everybody can be privileged.
