Your guest's take on @JamesADamore was completely disingenuous and borderline slanderous. Come on, Sam.
Racial identity is in general a toxic and primitive outgrowth of human tribalism. Racial pride and guilt are both expressions of racial tribalism that demands racial identity. There is never a good time for racial identity or pride.
Christian needs to exorcise this guy right here.
My condolences to your future self.
Good discussion. I’d like Christian to tell me how far back my historical collective guilt goes. I can’t agree w/ that viewpoint, as it’s toxic and nothing can be done to remedy the apparent wrong of a personal trait to which I had zero control over.
What I had trouble with was his insistence for white people to feel quilt. I am sorry to say, but I won’t shoulder past crimes that I had absolutely nothing to do with. Otherwise, a valuable conversation.
Sam, you always condemn identity politics, but you never provide any alternatives to solving the issues that blacks continue to face in society. There is a serious problem of racism against blacks which you don’t acknowledge enough. I’m a fan by the way
Black lives matter has to use identity in order to effectively address the concerns. The whole notion of a color blind discourse is good in many regards, but doesn’t help civil rights activists
At certain points Christian seemed to suggest that black identity and pride is a positive. I'm curious, how is black identity/pride either coherent or harmless. Racial-identity seems to pose an intrinsic harm to racial-harmony. @cpicciolini
Anyone interested in knowing why I'm concerned with black-pride (racial-identity in general) please read the linked blog post (5 minutes.)https://twitter.com/Brandon_Bahret/status/954262496482820097 …
Christian could you please point me to the things James Damore said that justify your disparaging comments? Such a mysterious claim: "I know things about @JamesADamore"
@cpicciolini when you say white men should feel guilty for past atrocities, are you grouping all W.M around the world or just USA? You brought up white supremacist groups changing language e.g. Jew media to liberal media are you saying there isn't any valid reason just bigoted?
Great talk, i cried during the part about looking in the guys eye..... I think @JamesADamore said he did more alt right interviews because they were not misrepresenting him. He did a number of left and center long form and short as well. But yes. Many more right.
i imagine many of the worried parents contacting this guy b/c the internet is turning their kid into a nazi are clueless. Tap dance 4 SPLC
Thanks Sam and Christian for making time for the women to ask their questions at the end- a welcome break from the usual Q&A sausage fest!
Well done. For all the kekistanis our there....
