Why Does Charlotte Look So Angry/Wounded in That Photo?
Surely POC often look that way because of the systemic oppression they've had to endure, but this takes place in an alternate world where Black people have ascended to the throne, right? So, surely Black people would behave just as privileged white people have behaved for centuries?
Weird, and strangely regressive/unintentionally racist, in attributing attitudes and behaviours to innate (i.e. non-existent) differences between white people and POC, rather than the REALITY, which is that social and cultural factors are what have led to different races behaving in different ways/expressing different emotions.
Honestly, the people who make these programmes don't seem to be very bright. They *want* to be 'woke', but they've got NO fucking clue how to *actually* be woke. It's all surface, shallow BS with them.
And that's my problem with so-called 'woke' culture. It's not the progressive values (which I, as a STAUNCH leftist for DECADES, support). It's how shallow and surface-level they are.
Genuinely intelligent 'woke' people are cool. The ones who have reached 'wokeness' after intense critical, logical and rational thinking.
But the stupid ones (e.g. the Zillennials and Millennials, and a few Boomers who are just plain dumb/not truly invested in wokeness, but only see it as a quick way to make a buck) can go FUCK themselves. People who are only 'woke' because that's the values they've been indoctrinated with/because it's the convenient position to take, piss me off, just as much as stupid right-wingers who mindlessly follow Trump/MAGA do.
Intellectuals and deep thinkers who come to their conclusions, whatever they may be, after careful and thoughtful consideration, are the ones who should be cherished.
Fuck left versus right. The true battle should be smart versus dumb. π
Smart leftists and smart conservatives >>>>>>> stupid/shallow leftists and stupid/shallow conservatives.
