DEBATE: Can People Identify As “Transracial”? - Unapologetic LIVE
Prager U ^

Posted on 05/09/2022 3:32:12 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Happy Monday guys and girls, today I’m reacting to a debate between “non-binary transracial” influencer Oli London who is British but identifies as Korean and a woke activist who believes Oli is committing cultural appropriation. This is only a five minute debate but I have a LOT of thoughts. Let’s get into it!

I have "rhythm" and I wouldn't feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't identify as being black.

You wanna know what’s “cultural appropriation”?

It’s black athletes playing basketball. After all, basketball was created by a white college gym instructor for his white students in Springfield, MA.

So if all these racist leftists want to complain about cultural appropriation, they better 5homg long and hard about all the inventions that white people have bestowed on the rest of the world.

I am so sick of this leftist/Marxist/fascist/racist bullshit.

Who’s with me?

What if you’re not sure you want to vote for Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Then you ain’t black, man. Does that mean you identify as being white?

We’ve already answered that question.

You can be a portabello mushroom if you want.

It’s dishonest, but honestly died in the 90’s.

In the US, the old definitions were:

1/2 black: Mulatto
1/4 black: Quadroon
1/8 black (with Negroid features): Octoroon

1/16th black entered the “darker white” realm.

Plaçage was a recognized extralegal system in French and Spanish slave colonies of North America (including the Caribbean) by which ethnic European men entered into civil unions with non-Europeans of African, Native American and mixed-race descent.

The term comes from the French placer meaning “to place with”. The women were not legally recognized as wives but were known as placées; their relationships were recognized among the free people of color as mariages de la main gauche or left-handed marriages. They became institutionalized with contracts or negotiations that settled property on the woman and her children and, in some cases, gave them freedom if they were enslaved.

The system flourished throughout the French and Spanish colonial periods, reaching its zenith during the latter, between 1769 and 1803.

It was widely practiced in New Orleans, where planter society had created enough wealth to support the system. It also took place in the Latin-influenced cities of Natchez and Biloxi, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; St. Augustine and Pensacola, Florida; as well as Saint-Domingue (now the Republic of Haiti). Plaçage became associated with New Orleans as part of its cosmopolitan society.

Mexico was far more racialist. Originally, there were Spanish, Indians, and Mexicans—a cross between Spanish and Indian. The *legal* distinction was simple, that “Mexicans wore shoes”. But then with diverse immigration, the government of Mexico created a very complicated racial classification system, that included those with two and even three races, for example: Indian, Negro, and Chinese.

For a time, the most numerous white population in Mexico were the Irish, brought over as mercenaries.

Things change.

Fascinating. I didn’t know the details of, or even the word, “placage.”

A new spin on a very old concept.

A long time ago it was called "passing".

“I shouldn’t be listening to Jazz, which was created by African Americans.”

And nobody but whites should drive cars or use phones, since those were invented by white guys. There is an endless supply of this kind of nonsense.

I told her that was nonsense and by that argument I shouldn’t be listening to Jazz, which was created by African Americans.

Playing European instruments.

Actually, I've already seen that argument on discussion boards.

My answer is to ask if Seiji Ozawa, YoYoMa, and Zubin Mehta were appropriating western culture and should also be banned.

My comment was ignored: either because it was not PC or more probably because the liberals don't listen to classical music.

Sounds like something you’d hear in the mental ward.

Okaaaay!...If I did ID as black, I'd want my surname to be either Washington, Jefferson or maybe even Hendrix. You know, in honor of somebody really great...Or maybe something French like Devereaux or Courvoisier. Cool and classy! How 'bout Trump? That would really get me out there, no?
