Since I haven't watched the video yet, I have no idea what's going on. As a white/hispanic dude (which really shouldn't matter), I agree with most of what you said. Except the part about white privilege. Which is either based on your definition of "privilege" or merely the name of the concept. Because thinking about it enough, it's either not true, not that simple, or it is true because literally everyone has "privilege" but it's different for each category (and I still don't think it should be called "privilege". The name doesn't fit, imo). But that's a huge deep discussion more based on analytical viewpoints and technicality than it is any moral standpoint. I think morally speaking, we, and many people, are probably on the same page. But the way we communicate is not.

2021-04-08 13:09:11 +0000 UTCOkay, Imma say something that may be unpopular. But I love you fam so please don't take it wrong. I respect y'all, I admire what you do, and I'm fond of every one of you as much as a person who watches you on the Internet can be. I'm sorry I haven't made it to a NormieCon in order to know you better. I'm truly uncomfortable with the relentless pursuit of justice. At the same time, I admire and appreciate people who have the conscience, the discipline, and the will to put themselves on the line for it; in their views, their lives, the way they try to handle themselves. Lemme say why. The pursuit of justice that isn't coming from a place of love is simply the practice of picking fights that other people happen to agree with. Pursuing justice for racial equality and representation is in fact picking fights and arguments that the "victims" of injustice would theoretically agree with. But let's not forget: unless you are an "insert race label here", you *still* can't call anyone an "insert race label here". There is *still* a separation. There is *still* a division. Now, pursuing justice as an act of love for another person is personal. It is the right way, in my opinion. The *only* way in my opinion. Because there will never be an abolition of stereotypes. Either socialogically (which can be changed) or in the natural world (spots vs stripes, which scientists and laypersons can and will still debate). The actionable solution is to invalidate the stereotype. From a place of love and respect, the labels just cease to apply. They don't disappear; they still exist. As a colored person, I can and must admit that if mistreated enough, I will resort to calling people names in my own mind. They don't happen to be racially-associated, but they're... unkind. Gender insults, for instance. Or generational insults. I do think "Okay Boomer" more often than I care to admit in public when someone of a particular generations acts badly. Yeah, I'm brown. I've spent my whole life being stereotyped and invalidating them. I speak English with a neutral West coast accent. Sometimes people look at my funny until I speak. BTW, I live in California. I'll even get funky stares from Latinos until they hear me speak Spanish. BTW, I'm Filipino. I do not (for the most part) suffer much from negative racial connotations now in my older age. But I did a whole lot when I was younger. And I bet it was because I was far more obsessed with "justice" and being wronged and being mistreated. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, which at the time was a lot less ethnically/racially diverse. And you know what? There are some people who have certain preferences, and yeah it kinda sucks. If one's definition of masculine attractiveness is square-jawed and blue-eyed and light-haired, I'm kinda screwed. And I was. I never went to prom, or any of that shit. And *that is not racism*. Many of these preferences come from stereotypes. I've not the power, nor the right to stomp on someone's stereotype. But I can invalidate it. And over time, the stereotypes fade. And they never completely disappear. Am I a race traitor if I think a white girl is hot? Nope, I doubt it. My prior dating history looks like a U.N. summit. I simply am able to see beauty in many forms. But if I fight against it as a matter of "principle", not coming from a place of love and respect, I'm just gonna turn people off. It's been a while since I've been pulled over and had more than two cop cars on the scene. I don't think it's a coincidence. But I have. No, it ain't fun to have five cop cars on the scene to run your record after some bullshit stop while you were walking down the street. But let's be frank: I had a chip on my shoulder, a decent amount of swagger, and I was in a bad neighborhood anyway. I'm afraid I don't denounce white privilege much. Especially since I live in an area where, person for person and dollar for dollar, the Chinese and Indian communities got most of the money anyway. Yeah, there's filthy rich white folks, but they don't hassle anyone and no one hassles them. Makes sense. The only people of color who can afford to live in their neighborhoods are, you guessed it, primarily Chinese and Indian anyway; and they keep to themselves. Dunno why I felt inspired to belch that out right now. But I did, and I thank you fam for making me think of it in a cohesive enough way for me to put it into words. Appreciate you guys and gals; every one of you.

2021-03-30 18:46:02 +0000 UTCMUNICH!! As a German fan, It's great to see them revisiting Germany in the Cap (adjacent) Saga, even though the location wasn't essential here for the story, it has quite the meaning for the characters. Steve only became cap to fight Nazi Germany back then, and thats where Bucky fought too, lost his arm and himself. in Civil War its where he was used as a pawn by Zemo that led to the big Avengers airport standoff. And now he is back, first time really as himself, even though he is not yet free of his demons. Love this journey :)

2021-03-27 01:49:02 +0000 UTCThe super solider is straight from comics isiah Bradley is called the black captain America. Even in comics he is not known that well outside of the black community. At Storm and Black Panther wedding all the black heroes all get excited when he shows up.

2021-03-26 21:03:34 +0000 UTCI'd say the attitude that the world was better off with half the people dead sets my alarm bells off. Taking it out on the people who have taken advantage of the situation? Cool. Taking it out on the people who were "gone" (as if they were on vacation or something)? Not ok.

2021-03-26 21:01:31 +0000 UTCThis show is so good. And they're tackling systemic racial issues in a, imo, way that doesn't feel heavy handed. Sam and Bucky's story is so good. -No one knows about the black super solider like how no one knew about the Tulsa massacre -Sam is the one who got pressured by the cops even tho Bucky is the one with a violent past and warrants -everyone is like this is what Steve wanted but no one is asking "What does Sam want?" -Bucky just really wants to prove that he isn't the guy who was the Winter Soldier -Bucky ran to the truck right away when he thought there was a hostage, so a good guy through and through now that brainwash is away
