Discourse Was Attempted
Being educated, a graduate, she didn’t understand the question:
Woke reporter SHUTS DOWN my Interview when I expose her as a racist.
She says it is not possible to be racist toward white people. When I show her that simple logic disproves everything she is saying, she is forced to get up & end the conversation. pic.twitter.com/MC3CaCRhzf

“You can’t be racist against white people,” says she, confidently, having just demonstrated precisely the opposite, and then doing it again.
The facial dynamics may also be of interest.
Note madam’s insistence that racism only exists if it’s backed by “power,” the particulars of which remain somewhat unclear – a claim designed to give license to racial minorities and especially black people – pre-emptively and on an indefinite basis – when indulging in racist sentiment or behaviour.
When asked how she came to this perverse and non-reciprocal redefinition, she looks surprised, indeed incredulous. “I went to school,” says she. “I went to university.”
And so, we have an enthusiast of “equity,” a credentialled being, who’s “making sure the standards are the same” by making those standards wildly different, depending on the colour of your skin and therefore how oppressed you must be. Or conversely, how inclined you must be to crush others underfoot, on account of your pallor.
She’s a reporter, you know. Bodes well.
My own definition of “equity,” illustrated many, many times, would be something like equality of outcome regardless of inputs. Inputs including diligence, effort and ability. Which doesn’t sound fair at all.
But as we’ve seen, the church of “equity” requires elaborate mental contortion, via which, “granting access” entails denying access – say, by shutting down advanced courses for gifted pupils – and among devotees, “whiteness” is the go-to pejorative, a thing to be corrected, and for which the sinfully pale are expected to atone.
There’s a through-the-looking-glass quality.
A fun-house mirror malevolence that’s illustrated here.
Should further, real-world illustrations of “equity” be required, a compendium can be found here, including the outlawing of even basic tests of teacher competence, on grounds of “disparate impact,” and firefighters who cannot read the instructions on their own safety equipment.

“Where did I learn that?”
[ Laughs incredulously. ]
“I went to school. I went to university.”
And the hands.
She’s “making sure the standards are the same” by making them different, depending on what colour your skin is, and therefore how oppressed you must be.
In my more sympathetic moments*, I wonder how it must feel to have your piety and status, your sense of being A Good Person, based on glaring contradictions, feigned incomprehension, and a perverse redefinition of basic terms. It must be quite stressful, doing that elaborate mental dance. As evidenced, I’d suggest, by the hand-wringing and facial theatre.
*No, they don’t last. Can’t think why.
Something when first said by stupid people decades ago and laughed off by those of us who grasp logic and reason is now something firmly believed by some of the highest credentialed minds and repeated in our best educational institutions. Not because of logic and reason but due to simple repetition.
This equity thing as well. Equity in a business sense, stock holder/owner equity is proportional to the input, be it capital or owner’s labor, invested. This BS about turning the word equity into a politicized tool of wealth distribution regardless of input, especially quality of input, is a power grab that I don’t see conservatives pushing backon. Leftists don’t have to change any laws if they can just change the meaning of the words those laws are written in. This is done primarily through repetition and volume.
It’s the juxtaposition of her struggle to comprehend fairly simple questions, basic logic, with her assertions of how immensely educated she is.
Assuming she watches the video, I wonder what she’ll make of it. I somehow doubt she’ll be asking for a refund on that statusful education. Though I’m tempted to say she should.
Screenshots or it didn’t happen.
I don’t think those words mean what they used to mean anymore, at least for the vast majority of the people attending.
I’m exuding human feelings as I type.
Thing is, basing your identity, your righteous persona and personal status, on this kind of incoherent claptrap is a recipe for dishonesty, neuroticism and resentment. There are any number of things you can’t permit yourself to think about with any kind of realism, as seen above.
I mean, if being asked, very politely, about your most passionate beliefs, your supposed area of expertise, results in visible discomfort and an urge to abort the interview, that doesn’t strike me as particularly healthy.
That counts as compassion, right?
[ Slumps across desk, exhausted from effort. ]
New meme dropped.
Very much related, on “prioritising equity” for eight-year-olds:
And of course this:
I mean, this stuff could scarcely be more obviously poisonous, the work of deranged, vindictive people, to whom one’s children should not be entrusted.
‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master—that’s all.’
This is the part that often gets forgotten while we critique the inanity of the discourse. We are fools for thinking morality or logic mean anything to these people – It is all about power. And for the useful idiots, about status.
They should all just be slapped.
She lost me when she said “EK-cetra” instead of “ET-cetera.”
She has, you see, been blessed with Revolutionary Logic.
As a woman, I reserve the right to punch that face without it being misogyny.
I’m sorry, that’s just how it is.
Heh.
But to be fair, there are well educated people who mispronounce “a-loo-min-um”.
[ Hands Stephanie a gift-wrapped set of brass knuckles. ]
As someone notes in the replies on X, at no point does it seem that she might concede error or retrace her own assumptions. Even when the contradictions of her position are made obvious, there’s just an assumption of moral superiority, something like smugness. As if she were somehow entitled to be right without actually, you know, being right.
FTFY
Fake smile. Fake laugh. Fake moral superiority.
All other things being equal and making only the most minor of changes, this quote from Wilde seems apposite:
Although she seems relatively calm, perky even, she seems oblivious to the fact that the words she’s mouthing barely conceal a seething resentment at reality’s stubborn refusal to conform to theory or bend to the direction of personal will.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but from what I’ve heard about the USA, a wide range and variety of liberal policies have been conceded in a number of states over the last 10, 15 years or so.
These have been policies on everything from schooling (‘If only they had access to iPads!’) to law enforcement (‘Body-worn cameras will keep a tight check on the rampant anti-back racial prejudice of trigger-happy police officers!’) and the justice system (‘A prison sentence will turn him into a career criminal, so despite the fact that he paralyzed for life a 90-pound mother of two with a body slam onto a concrete walkway, we’ll reduce his time and release him early.’).
And not only does it seem that not one of these policies has been successful, but they have actively contributed to making life worse for all concerned.
And that’s not only worse for institutions (schools, police, courts), not only worse for the families and local communities, not only worse for random bystanders, but it’s not even made anything better for the supposed beneficiaries.
Children are still leaving school barely literate or numerate, only now in larger seemingly larger numbers.
Violent offenders are still getting shot to death, only now the police are taking more risks before pulling the trigger to avoid charges of racial prejudice for which almost no evidence has been turned up.
Other kinds of criminal are still blighting the lives of everyone they come into contact with, only now they’re doing it both more often and more brazenly.
If the consequences weren’t so tragic, it would almost be comical to see the shamelessness of some of these activists in trying to pin the blame of the real failure of these policies on to anyone who accurately predicted the very obvious consequences of enacting them.
As I’ve said before, the degree to which the progressive project, the mindset, is premised on a kind of weird racial neuroticism is hard to overstate. And so, we will purge the world of bigotry by embracing wholesale the mental habits of the bigot.
And we conservatives tolerate it and pay for it with our tax dollars. They are brainwashing our youth and anyone who questions it is “just being difficult” or politicizing things or grandstanding. Conservatives, even the parents of these children, refuse to speak up. Many just run away from the problem by removing their children from public schools thinking it’s not their problem anymore, yet fail to vet the new private or especially parochial school to understand that the same things are often going on there.
Republican officials running for these school supervisor or school board positions refuse to stand for anything by publicly stating anything that might change matters (be “controversial”) even on the most basic of issues. But most of all, conservatives fail time and time again to show up and vote in elections where the people responsible for those running these institutions are on the ballot.
It can be argued the policy of police wearing cameras has been quite successful … if not in the way its proponents imagined.
Examples abound, even in the world of ceramics classes.
Bugger. I have Marmite on my shirt.
I repeat, I HAVE MARMITE ON MY SHIRT.

May I say it has made life better … and more entertaining … since this blew up in the Left’s face by showing (see: Cops) that so many of the accusations against LEOs are/were nothing but lies.

I see you weren’t swayed by the word deluxe.
Well, an ordinary cheese on toast wouldn’t have the hazard of Marmite, so I assumed deluxe is an euphemism for Marmite over in your neck of the woods.
Still, I guess it is marginally more edible than cheese on toast with jellied eels, which in my copy of UK Fab Eats, Recipes Of Wonder is called a Peat Stacker’s Holiday.
Marmite, finely chopped onion, and possibly a splash of Henderson’s Relish.
Hey, it makes cheese on toast sophisticated.
“can’t be racist against white people” –in the old days, this meant you could not discriminate against white people (ignoring hateful attitudes) but then by the DEI takeover, they proved that, yes, you can in fact discriminate against white people or at least white males. My tall, good-looking Persian friend who looks too white bemoans being passed over by DEI at a major bank. i told him to get a tan, he’s too white. The maleness he is stuck with.
Bet that keeps the doctor at bay … and pretty much everyone else.

One meaning of sophisticated is counterfeit, adulterated or contaminated.
We’re relieved that you were wearing a shirt.
Whoopi Goldberg agrees.
Definitely punchable.
Yeah.
Is there a context I’m unaware of?
MAYBE that was true in 1926, when every white person socially outranked every black person.
Imagine a white woman at the time getting into a confrontation with a black woman on the street, and the white woman says, “Don’t you sass me,” even though they’re strangers, because the white woman always outranks the black woman just as any adult outranks a child.
Now try getting away with that today.
Do I outrank the Obama family in any way? Oprah? Black NBA players? There’s definitely a power differential going on, but not one that favors me.
Do I outrank random black people on the street? Do I have some kind of power over them, or power they don’t have?
She seems to have absorbed a model of racial disadvantage that could have applied in the 1960s — non-white people having potential but they don’t have opportunity, don’t have connections, don’t know how to navigate SATs and college admissions and such.
She doesn’t know that for decades people have been helping disadvantaged populations find their way to the lower rungs of the ladder (and sometimes boosting them up a few rungs), and that those who could climb have already ascended.
What we’re dealing with now is the bottom quintile, stewing in resentment and learning to work white guilt to their best advantage.
