Analyzing Whoopi Goldberg's “The Holocaust isn’t about race”
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 02. 2022
- Recently, Whoopi Goldberg made the highly controversial statement "the Holocaust isn't about race." Let's dive into the historical sources and find out what National Socialist was about and whether Whoopi was right or wrong.
And no, I'm NOT a National Socialist, or a Fascist, or a Marxist, nor any other type of evil ideologue. The purpose of this video is to study history so that we don't repeat the mistakes of the past. So while I will be discussing concepts such as the Holocaust, and race, and Antisemitism, that doesn't mean that I'm promoting the aforementioned ideologies.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
I thought making someone watch 'The View' was banned as inhumane by the Geneva Convention?
It was. They are just good at ignoring history.
Definitely a War Crime
It should be lol
If you force a comfash like Tony Blair or Owen Jones to watch 'The View' with their eyelids severed for 24 hours straight, it is not considered a war crime. It is what Stalin would call political re-education.
I hear the Chinese make Uyghurs watch it in the gulag.
As an American I'd like to apologize for the existence of The View...
Thanks for talking about this TIK.
Are you a producer on the view?
I’m an American too. I don’t apologize for existence of The View. I had nothing to do with it’s production.
@@Hilton_ But at least making people aware it is disfavored helps avoid the risk of the entire identity getting tainted with the suspicion The View is considered appropriate.
@@Hilton_ he's just apologising on behalf of his race 🙃
@@Lawofimprobability the view is appopriate… for housewives and retirees. That’s why it’s on in the middle of the morning, right before lunch. The View isn’t that popular with working people in the US, but it is popular with housewives and retirees.
@@leonardticsay8046 There's better stuff available to watch than that drivel. The View is not appropriate for anybody but an intellectual masochist.
The Goldberg take is truly a quintessentially American take. The American default assumption being that there are really only two races: White and Black, and gradients between the two, and maybe Asians and Natives if you press them. The concept that Germans could despise Slavs, or Hutus despise Tutsis, for racial reasons, seems to be foreign to a lot of Americans (and especially Black Americans).
I think part of it is a consequence of the ethnic blender that was the triangle trade. Imported Africans came from dozens of different tribes and nations, mostly from the Congo region but plenty from other parts of West Africa too. It's really very hard to for example trace ancestry back for most Black Americans; it really is a separate ethnicity. Because the literal history began with slavery and with the black/white simplicity already established, it's easy for that idea to become cultural normalized today.
Definitely
@@Jaxck77 Since Hitler was racist against white Slavs and Jews, it means that it is possible to be racist against whites. If white people can be victims of racism, then organizations that discriminate against white people are in fact racist.
Bullshit. I’ve never talked to an American that assumes there are “only two races”, even leftist Americans, who are generally low I Q and believe many other absurd things don’t believe there are “only two races”.
It is also bad because it falls into view that Jews are a racial group and not a cultural group
Imagine saying “Disability is only about what I can see.” Untenable.
100% right! I am deaf and no one can see it! So thru don't believe me.

"The race was the nation." Finally! The two terms used to be used interchangeably. The frankly racist notion of lumping Englishmen and Frenchmen together and lumping Nigerians and Ugandans together is quite modern.
Race was essentially a catch-all term from antiquity that would today be ethnicity.
800 races in Africa.
@@Waldemarvonanhalt Race and ethnicity are correct terms, frequently used incorrectly.
I.e, Race: Europid and ethnicity; Polish and German. It is worth noting that terms of race and nationality, can also be used as demographic terms.
Io, a Jew can be European, specifically Spanish or Italian however she is neither an Ethnic European nor an Ethnic Spaniard or Ethnic Italian.
The guy is german the Anglo saxon are german
@@Waldemarvonanhalt Yeah pretty much. "Race" and "Ethnicity" are interchangeable for the most part. However it is more accurate to say that "Race" as it is historically used referred to super groups instead of specific ethnicities ("Arabs" or "Turks" to refer to anyone from the Middle East, "Persian" to refer to any of the numerous different ethnicities found inbetween modern Iraq & modern India, "Negros" to refer to all dark-skinned Africans, "Germans" to refer to all potentially-German speaking peoples. The last one is especially interesting as the concept of "racial kinship" between Britons, the Dutch, and modern Germans was a big reason why Hitler had such a strong affinity for the UK).
You should make more of these TIK, it is a good way to get people into history.
idk but I think TIK has talent not every historian has, of explaining these complex intertwined cultural concepts and untangle those, with proper historical background and baggage. 50 minutes full of mental gymnastics must be like proper chess match.
I agree you opened my eyes to new truths.
I'm glad you're still alive (after going silent). Have the trolls stopped or actually reached their goal of stopping you?
is that vexxed what thought you were in north korea or something
Mostly agree but I also think delving into the slugfest of modern politics could be a bad idea. I like the occasional video but I don’t think anybody wants to see this become a reaction channel
As a American I lived my life as a color blind person who treated everyone equal so it has come as a complete shock to me in the last few years to be attacked,vilified,and even beaten for being White and specifically a WHITE MALE!!!
You evidently still need waking up.
Maybe if u didn’t literally enslave other races and nowadays target other races as a cop and commit police brutality then maybe u wouldn’t get beaten???? Trust white people to be dumb enough to not understand how that’s YOUR FAULT
Fantastic episode TIK, as always. Love your channel. Keep up the excellent work.
I hadn't heard about this but oh my god. That's maybe the most ignorant thing I've heard since some people on twitter said the Empire of Japan was anti-imperialist because they fought against European colonization. Which was maybe a month ago. 😫
Oh wow, I hadn't heard that take on Japan! It actually fits well with the ideology I discussed in this video, though. Everything must be blamed on "white" (Jewish) people in order for our overlords to divide us and exploit us.

@@TheImperatorKnight you watched the View to find out all the background set up. Good man! Well researched, I hope you didn't get cancer from it though 😬
Speaking as an American - This is an American-centric point of view. To most Americans, the very concept of race is tied to skin color. Likewise, our concept of things like slavery - which was practiced by a multitude of cultures all over the world for thousands of years - is tied to race.
This is not to excuse what she said - it was quite ignorant.
You were doing reasonably well, right up to the "it was quite ignorant."
In the context of 300+ million Americans (your stated point of view) the topic of racism comes down to skin color, not class or religious affiliation. That's the point she was trying to make, if imperfectly. The Holocaust was directed at a "class" of people affiliated by one characteristic: religion. In her eyes, it was not directed at a "race" of people, because they are not a race in her eyes or by definition.
The alleged "fact" that it was motivated by "racism" relies on accepting the Nazi definition of race. They claimed to be different (and thus better) than Communism because their political agenda was race-based and not class-based. In their view, racism was not bad. Superior races were entitled to reign over inferior races. Except, the Jews don't fit that model, do they?
No, the Jews are a "class" of people who adhere to Judaism. So, how does that fit into the Nazi narrative? How do they scapegoat the Jews? Simple, define their class as a race. Then, they can be fitted into the Nazi racial model as the lowest race and all of "man's inhumanity against man" can be justified. Racial purity and all that stuff, right?
The "fact" being used to discredit Whoopi (as a member of the great socialist conspiracy to overthrow the ruling class with the minority class) only exists if you embrace Nazi dogma.
Not one of TIKs finer analyses...
@@ToolTimeTabor Jews ARE an ethnic group as well as the followers of a religion, same as Sikhs.
@@daveharrison4697 Agree, but they only fit into the Nazi ideology by virtue of being designated a "race" and an inferior one at that.
The portion of the definition that applies best is "belonging to or deriving from the cultural, religious, or linguistic traditions of a people or country." These characteristics are not based on skin color, which is the predominant characteristic of racism, at least as experienced in America.
In this analysis, TIK makes one of the mistakes that he is usually careful to avoid. At one point, he talks about the Socialist strategy to use personal experiences rather than facts based on the larger context to justify the "minority supplanting the ruling class" assessment. This is where his personal experience is biasing him. The American experience of racism is almost exclusively based upon skin color. That is not an "individual" experience. That is the collective experience and understanding of a third of a billion people. It is not a question of whether they all believe racism is an issue, because clearly many do not think it is (Fox News), but they do substantially agree that it is about skin color. Can you say the "black codes" and "Jim Crowe" laws? Can we see it in the Native American experience or the Japanese experience in WWII or the BLM movement in modern day?
It is important to understand that antisemitism is an evil twin of racism, but it is not based on skin color. Thus, when Whoopi says that the Holocaust was not racism, she is coming from a perspective that includes far more than just her personal experience.
TIK demands the highest standards of logic, fact checking, etc. When he contorts her commentary as being part of the socialist agenda to supplant the ruling class with the minority class, he is extending well beyond what the facts support. He is ignoring the context that includes 300+ million, not just one black talk show host. He is relying almost exclusively on his experience, the very thing he condemns Whoopi for, in framing the issue.
TIK has spent many hours explaining to us that Nazism is a race-based form of socialism. He cites Hitler's Mein Kempf at length about the importance that Hitler placed on race. It was the single most important distinction between Communism and Nazism. "We would be no better than the Communists, if our theory were based on class..." or words to that effect. Hitler demands that National-Socialism is about race. Hence the need to brand Jews as a race, in order to fit his faulty narrative.
Nazism is a right-wing, conservative, nationalistic, militaristic, autocratic, racist political ideology. The only "left-wing" component is its use of socialist (lower case "s") economic policies, because they empower government control of industry which empowered the state. It is time we stop talking about Nazism in terms that suggest left when they are indeed extreme right.
It is time that we stop using "facts" established by Nazis as the means to attack people whose view of the Holocaust do not conform to our own personal experiences. Whoopi is guilty of not clearly articulating her views on a sensitive subject; one in which the Nazi narrative has long been the dominant theme. Let's face it, the "View" as a talk show is not exactly the format to deal with complex issues, especially when dealing with people who are poorly versed in a given topic. She tried, and failed, to explain herself in a way that gets past each person's individual biases.
@@ToolTimeTabor If you identify a group as a race separate from your own, and then you persecute that group based on that ideal, how is your persecution NOT racism?
@@daveharrison4697 Jews are not any ethnic group ant least not then. There were arab jews in french algeria black jews in ethiopia white jews in america and ethnicly difrent jews in eastern europe. Jews were quite isolationist religious group so are armich are they an ethnic group or they are too new or don't have funy physical feature that is stereotyped as unike.
This was an excellent video that broke down the incident very effectively and thoroughly. As many others have said so shall I repeat: we'd love to see you tackle these kinds of situations tied to history that many get wrong o7
A characteristically thorough and thoughtful analysis. Much enjoyed!
I am glad you recognize the dangers of redefining racism and are criticizing it.
I bet neither you or TIK know the original definition, context, and usage of the word Racism.
The definition he uses and most likely the one you use is the redefinition of the redefinition.
It being redefined again means nothing, it was a meaningless word by 1900.

Thing is, though he phrased it abrasively, he's right. It was as best we know, invented by Trotsky to describe crimes of whites against non whites, intended to leverage that to force communist revolutions in white countries.

@@TheImperatorKnight Thank God, I've been looking forward to that one.
@Belagerungsmörser the Sheep l o l
I’m slowly catching up on your old videos. You’re one of the best history teachers I’ve ever had.
It’s only been a year and a half since this happened? Feels like it happened three years ago. You’re right about the science. There are more generic differences between two people of the same “race” (regardless of how you define it) if they are three inches different in height than two random people from anywhere on the planet who are the same height.
The most precise and "scientific" definition of race would, in my opinion, be something like genetic lineage as revealed through haplogroups. The problem with this is that, while it is in accordance with and confirming a lot of historiographical/linguistic/archeological theories, it only corresponds quite vaguely to modern concepts of race/nation/ethnicity. It is one of many useful tools for understanding human biology and history, and somewhat underutilized due to the current political climate, but it is little more than that.
The modern science of genetics, let alone the concept of haplogroups, did not exist in the time of Nazi Germany. At that time genetics was restricted to the study of visible physical traits and how they were thought to be inherited.
@@brucetucker4847 Indeed. What's funny is that their theories are undermined by their own research.
My dad collects books, and especially likes weird and obscure stuff. He has a sort of "state of current knowledge" report published in the late thirties by the Swedish institute of racial biology, which was world leaders in the field and praised by Nazis and progressive eugenicists alike. The writers meticulously sort vast amounts of collected data in order to establish empirical racial borders, but the data bear none of it out. Charts upon charts detailing everything from nose widths to hair texture, and none of them correlate with each other in any way.
Well, all hostess of that show have inteligence, attitude and knowledge of average pre-kindergarden child, so no suprise there. Good job Karen...
Whoopi's real name is Caryn, so...
@@TheImperatorKnight exactly
In her stupidity "Caryn" told a fundamental truth. If Jews are White, than Hitler was not a racist. If Jews are non-White then lost of things that Hitler said make sense.
That's an insult to the intelligence of the average pre-K student.
@@jesupcolt Agreed, truly mind bending stupidity takes an adult mind to create.
The Rwanda civil war between the Hutu and Tutsi was racial aswell. Tutsis saw (and see) themselves as being different from Hutus based on their origin (Tutsis were cattle herding settlers from Ethiopia/Horn of Africa...Hutu were indigenous Bantu farmers).
The Bantu arent indigenous they are from around Nigeria
True about the civil war. And if one thinks the theory of great Bantu migration is plausible, the Bantu are not indigenous as well. They came from what is today Cameroon and spread throughout sub-Saharan Africa, wrapping up in Kenya at about 1000 - 1200 AD. Two non-indigenous groups. The indigenous people of central Africa are the Forest people (Mbuti, Aka, and Twa in that area), who used to be called Pygmies.
@@gagamba9198 Guys...Bantu were already well established in most of Sub Saharan Africa by the late bronze age.
Tutsis settled in Rwanda in the 1530s-1600s. They're much more recent migrants to the region. (Only afew centuries prior to the scramble for Africa). Until the Belgians came, the Tutsis behaved like the 'colonialists'.
Unlike Jews and Germans, Hutus and Tutsis actually are different races. Tutsis, despite speaking a Bantu language, are more Horn African. Any overlap can be assigned to admixture.
@@silence6605 jews and Germans are probably as different as Hutus and Tutsis
It also might be helpful to note that the school DID not censor the holocaust. They merely retired Maus from the reading list and replaced it with another because they thought Maus by Art Spiegelman was to graphic due to it having illustrations. The book Maus was however still available in the library, and they merely took it out of the REQUIRED reading list and replaced it with another about the same subject. Rather you agree with this choice or not, the point must be made that the hens at The View misreported the situation to make it seem worse then it was. Cause they want to hide the fact the people they like just throw out To Kill a Mockingbird.
Wait!!! It's been 2 years?!?! It feels like it was just a few months ago. Why does time feel like it moves so much faster when you're older.🤣😭
Yeah, not the first time I hear about "blaming all white people" for some atrocity. A certain historian I know claimed the trans-Atlantic slave trade was "defining of the white race"... because I guess the African tribes catching the slaves and selling them to the Portuguese were also white?
It's an unfortunate side effect of much of the "critical" theories dividing and classifying by power while ignoring truth.
Oof. Each time "European imperialism" comes up counts as well.
@Minister of Propaganda The British government currently abuses its own subjects. I know because I am one. It wasn't the British "white man" doing all that, it was Parliament and the elites.
@Minister of Propaganda No one is saying that the European Empires didn't abuse people on a massive scale.
The problem we're discussing is this blanketing of all groups under one umbrella in order to justify arguing in favor of racism "for justice".
For example, what global Empire did the Slavic people of Eastern Europe form? It's not that these people didn't perform their own atrocities, but you see certain people include them in a blanket label of "colonizers".
Same thing for European migrants that moved to the US being included as "oppressors of brown people" even though some haven't even spent 2 generations in the US.
To contrast, would it be fair to just blanket all black people under the actions of the Mali Empire? Or perhaps claim "being slaves is defining of X race"?
There's a group of people who think that history begins roughly around 1492 with the conclusion of the Reconquista and the discovery of the New World. Only events of importance thereafter are the trans-Atlantic slave trade (where almost all were shipped to Brazil), colonialism, the industrial revolution (that ruined the planet, ya know), slavery and the US Civil War, Jim Crow, and the World Wars. The British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Germans, Dutch, and Americans were the actors and everyone else was the acted upon.
@Minister of Propaganda What do you mean "implied"? He said people utilize the blanket term of European Empires to add to what I said about people using the TAST to claim an atrocity is "defining" of an entire race.
"They're all talking over each other and then, there's more noise" sounds like a great way to sum up the entire show;)

And hearing you say that you were a socialist once before realizing that it was all a big lie resonates with me because I was a socialist too.

Thank you Tik, keep doing what you do and I can't wait for your next video.
"The Truth" is an ultimate goal, to claim that it has been achieved sounds like the beginning of delusion and ostracism: if you "know" The Truth, then all others are necessary wrong or lying. To search the truth is a process that is both necessary and continuing. To believe that there is the Good against the Bad is too simplistic.
Consider a Russian soldier in WWII: is he the evil puppet of communism, or a patriot defending family, friends and neighbors against the evil Nazi aggression? Or both? How would you judge this same soldier during the invasion of Poland and the winter war against Finland?
Consider a Finn soldier: is he a hero in 1939, defending his country against evil communism, or is he evil himself in 1941, allied to criminal Nazi Germany?
In 1924 Mussolini had enough with the Mafia and led a war against the organization, using mass internment, family hostage taking and brutal violations of human rights in general. Were the Mafiosi good guys, or was Mussolini a hero? When the US army invaded Sicily, they did free Mussolini's opponents, which gave the Mafia its power back. Was the US an evil government intent on restoring crimes and human abuses?

@@TheImperatorKnight The only way to find out is to postpone the Stalingrad series and start re watching ~20 years of footage.
The concept of "race" being a question of melanin in the dermis is a fairly recent construct - since about the 18th Century. The concept of race always used to be a synonym for ethnicity or nationality. That's why passports in Tsarist Russia, for example, listed people by their sub-nationality within the Russian Empire; Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and yes, Jewish was considered a unique "nationality" within the Empire.
And outside the US, that meaning carried on into the 1940s with the slightly broader meaning better translated today as "a people". The insular racial ideas of the US South were conflated with the pseudoscientific speculation of the European colonial era in the 1800s and the word got referenced in relation to those pseudoscientific ideas that the older definitions got forgotten.
@@Lawofimprobability EXACTLY! As an American, whenever I hear the word "race" thrown about in local conversation, I tend to think in terms of skin color, specifically as it relates to persons of sub-Saharan ancestry and the word "Jewish" as a people practicing a certain religion. Neither one of these it accurate, but it's hard not to become a fish of the pond in which you swim.
@@Lawofimprobability not just America, other colonies also had similar racial ideas to America. i think the skin-color-based race view developed in the colonies where various white nationalities felt the need to group together more (possibly to aid integration?)

First off love your work. Secondly I talked about this on my own podcast, it's remarkable how there is a subset of Americans constantly telling other Americans to 'get out and see the world outside of the American bubble' then go ahead and apply an American viewpoint to a foreign issue.
As a soldier who's been around the world 'race' for a majority of the world isn't "black and white". Hell if you look at documents of the Japanese they refer to Japanese as being a 'race', and each individual nationality as a race. All the Asian cultures do this.
Europe is no different, hell my grandmother is Greek and laughs when people call Mediterranean's 'white'. Its all a very Americanized view.
Now I understand what Whoopi is applying but it shows her lack of historical and cultural understanding. The Holocaust was not an American event, defining it with American terminology is just lazy and ideological.
But I'm just a grunt what do I know? Cheers.
@Vext: Which part of America was Rhodesia in? I am pretty sure that wherever Europeans planted their colonies that they also imposed their racial hierarchy so most of the world is quite familar with the so called "American" black/white paradigm.
Making a vid about the Nuremberg laws would be a very addiquite way to describe the point your making.

I never got the “Jews never had a nation line” Hitler said.
What about the Kingdom of Israel?

I can't remember if Hitler talks about the Kingdom of Israel or not, but I'm sure he has an excuse.
Possibly the Khazar Khaganate (Khazaria), which was reported by Muslims such as Ibn Rusta to have converted to Judaism in the 9th century. The pastoralist Turks of Central Asia pretty much gave every religion a crack. The three Abrahamic religions, Buddhism, Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism, and Hinduism as well as their own animist beliefs.
@@TheImperatorKnight if i had to speculate it would be the fact that the Existence of the Iron age jewish kingdoms was incredibly hotly debated in the early 20th century before the founding of israel and many considerd them mythical or allegorical so he probably subscribed to that as well
Kingdom of Israel may of never existed at all since that region was ruled by Assyrian Empire, Canaanite, Babylonian Empire, Roman Empire, multiple Kingdoms of Egypt, Persian Empire, Hittites and Greece. More of a crossroads between empires with no recorded evidence of a State during that time period from 1500 BC - till a brief period between Greece withdraw and Roman takeover..
I grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada. In the 80s we had ‘crown corporations’ that provided much of our service, telephone, gas, potash, insurance, health care. We had some of the cheapest rates compared to other provinces. The collective was all the people of the province. Most but not all these businesses were run pretty good. As a former nurse who worked both in the Canadian public and American private hospitals, with a few exceptions I prefer the Canadian system. As much as I enjoy this channel, I think painting socialism as bad and capitalism as good makes it harder for people to find the middle ground. It was weird for me when I came to the US to see that socialism was seen as completely incapable of running a company. That is not true, but an American can’t even comprehend that. I still liked this show. I’ll give you credit for taking on a very touchy subject. I’ve lived in 7 different countries and every one of them had a identifiable group that was discriminated against. This included Rwanda. What I learned there that it is not hate that heals but love. Some of my best friends there were Tutsis. They were the most generous people I’ve ever met. This was not just to their ethnic group but to others. Once you heard their stories about the genocide it was almost impossible to comprehend this reaction, but that is what it is and they are better for it. The Rwandan government now pushes everyone to identify as Rwandan not as a Hutu, Tutsi or Twa. It’s imperfect but in a few generations it could work. I don’t like to divide people along any lines. Do you do good things or do you do bad things. That’s a better way for all of us to get along and to judge others.
TIK is from the UK, the country with the NHS (socialist free health care) and one of the oldest social welfare systems in the world. It's easy to be critical of the socialism while enjoying its benefits.

Wait, I thought Lindsay's book wasn't out yet. Nice!
Goldberg's just using the American idiom where "about race" means "about African slavery in the United States and its consequences" and nothing else. The idiom is provincial and shallow, but rather than blaming her, blame the skewed American usage of the word.
Yes. From the rendition presented in this video she's not half as bad as her co-panelists.
Indeed, it's one of those ironies that seeing all people of the same skin colour as the same "race" is basically racism 101 yet its propagated by both sides of the "culture war" in America.
The idea of "Y'all" applying to all white people is exactly the same mindset that the plantation owners used, yet its thrown about in American culture all the time.
I think blaming her is a convenient short cut. Tactics are important.
"Slavs also have white skin by the way." It is sad that TIK actually has to state this. Our current political and social situation hurts my brain.
Ikr, I have a theory that slave resulted from the word slav. But it just a theory.
The idea that the Nazis back in the day were simply “white supremacists” ignores so many of their victims. The Nazis were German supremacists, and the white Slavic peoples of the East were to be their slaves.
@Celes Yeah did more research. This is a bonified stupid me
@Celes Uhm yes. You are correct about the origin of the term Slav, but the English word slave was derived from the word Slav by way of medieval French and Latin. "Slav" had come to mean "slave" in western languages because so many of the slaves traded in the Mediterranean region (by Arabs, Berbers, Venetians, etc.) were of Slavic origin.
@C no, they have something in common, because slave is coming from ethnonym slav.
You know... the worst part about this controversy (that's NOT the stupid things said on The View) is the fact that Maus is still available in the school's library, but it's off the REQUIRED reading list/"Books to specifically teach" list because of the nudity and depiction of suicide... for the 8th grade class.

Glad to see you referencing James Lindsey. People REALLY need to look into his expose on Grievance Studies and how pseudoscientific a lot of universities departments have become due to political ideology.
I followed it as it occurred, but being curious I attempted to search the term in Duck Duck Go, and found that the entire front page, including Wikipedia, claims it was a hoax, and titled it the "Grievance Studies Affair".
"The grievance studies affair, also referred to as the "Sokal Squared" scandal, was the project of a team of three authors-Peter Boghossian, James A. Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose-" Wiki search blurb.
Their claims of “white privilege” and “gender as a societal construct” are all Subjective ideological claims.

"Man's inhumanity to man" was first expressed in a Latin proverb: Homo homini lupus est; i.e. a man is a wolf to another man. As always an EXCELLENT presentation. very well articulated and very well researched.
EXCEPT Whoopi did ZERO Research!
Whether race is biological or genetic is irrelevant. If people act on the belief that these separations exist, then it's relevant. There is good evidence that we are hard wired genetically to perceive difference as a threat and, on top of that, to aggregate those perceptions, it takes conscious effort not to do this and that's why the conceptions that come from that are so hard to eradicate.
That's true, but it's important to always remind everyone that the distinctions themselves are false. Once you start accepting them as true you inevitably end up going down a bad path.
That is Whoopi Goldberg's real issue. If she were very consistent about man's inhumanity to man there really wouldn't be an issue. At the end of the day I don't really disagree with the statement. It's certainly true people have justified it on race, but the definitions shift over time and frankly shift from person to person. So it's real, but only in the way that all thoughts in your head are real, they are real thoughts in your real head.
Had similar thoughts here. It is real as long as people believe it is, unfortunately.
If things go bad than you join to your own like in the jails. Is it natural or logical? I do not know.
Nope. If races do not exist biologically, then no one would be able to tell is Whoopie Black or White. You need something objective to classify people into groups.
@@aleksazunjic9672 No you don't. The reason we make these distinctions are to allow discrimation. We need to start recognizing these divisions for the fabrications of deceit and oppression they are.
Is Madison Grant's "Passing of the great race mentioned in your vids?
Really cool video. Interesting to see someone go into depth about something like this and not just go "haha she stoopid"
The idea that only "Aryans" can create nations comes (as far as I know) from Arthur de Gobineau's "essay on the inequality of races" (essai sur l'inégalité des races) from 1853.
Not a read I can recommend but certainly an interesting one as it shows that not only the idea at the core of nazism comes from a French (although there were probably others reusing his ideas in between) but IIRC Gobineau even includes American civilisations like the Incas...
Checking it it was dedicated to the king of Hanover, so it could be possible to trace the growth of that idea from there, probably passing through Guido List and then the volkish movement.
It's always the F'ing French isn't it? :P
@@AUScorpion
But Gobineau is not focused on antisemitism (he is clearly saying that the races of the world are inequal but he recognises many qualities to jews unlike the nazi system). Actually in his system the Jews are related to the "assyrians" and are one of his 10 civilisations started by the "white race". But you would recognise the key nazi idea of degenerscence through hybridation among other things. So it's an incomplete part of the puzzle.
At 23:00 when you say that the socialists wants to piggyback off of the racial conflicts, this is absolutely true. In the NKP's progam (norwegian communist party) they say:
" we support all movements which claim victimhood under capitalism"
socialism has taken a strange turn after having lost the economic argument.
It's an easy way to gain support from clueless people as well. BLM is a textbook example. BLM's organizers are openly Marxist and have said as much many times. But most people rooting for BLM either have no idea or just don't care. They're being used like good little pawns. It's also why they get so defensive when somebody counteracts with "All lives matter". The idea that everybody deserves happiness goes directly against their brand of Socialism.
@@MintyLime703 exactly right, and i would add that "everybody deserves happiness" goes against every socialists version of socialism ! There is allways one group or multiple who pays the price
I agree. The anti American globalists and their useful idiots promote racial conflict to divide Americans. "The Communist Takeover of America : 45 Goals " helps explain a lot of what the political left in America does.
@@janesmith4017 thank you, i will look into it! Scary times we all live in.
I have no idea what the 'appropriate' term is to define them, but in healthcare in some situations it can be very relevant to know what group of people a person belongs to.
Depending on ancestry/genetics members of some groups will react differently to various medications, will have vastly different risk factors and will have different values for whats considered a healthy range for test results. Though l do find it strange that most medical admission forms don't ask what your natural hair colour is as redheads do react differently especially to pain killers and so many people dye their hair these days.
The simple fact is that their are many distinct biological differences between various groups, most of which are not externally visible and can have positive or negative effects.
To my recollection, the UN defines ethnic cleansing according to language. In other words, a violent black man is not considered nationalist, if he speaks English in England. According to that definition, the USSR was guilty of ethnic cleansing also inside its own borders.

@@karaaslan7402 It is amazing, isn't it? But our universities are filled with socialists. Socialism is s very appealing ideology, only as you can testify to, it does not work. What is amazing is that nowhere else in America have prices increased so much as in academia where the professors constantly castigate America. They decry capitalists but insist on students paying high fees to finance their bloated salaries. They can influence young people because the metric they set up is to compare America to utopia. Of course, compared to perfection. America does not do well. Compared to other actual real countries it is a very different story which is why people from all over the world are voting with their feet to come to America.
@@dennisweidner288 At a substantial majority of universities most of the teaching is done by a class of "professors" who aren't paid much. (Which doesn't mean they aren't clueless Socialists.)
@@gandydancer9710 Gandy,
You know I occasionally listen to C-Span which runs videos of university lectures, often on interesting topics. It is amazing the amount of PC, CRT, and woke drivel that they work into their lectures. And not a murmur of objection from the students. I sometimes e-mail them, but they are almost never willing to defend their lectures. I think that they have grown up in a Marxist ideological bubble and are just unaware that there are legitimate objections to how they spin the American story. Some of course are all too aware.
Interestingly some of the worse are the professors in women's studies. They go on and on about how terrible it was for women in America. Now I do not mind this because it is substantially true, but what I do mind is that almost never do they point out that America was at the forefront of the fight for women's rights and the situation for women in America was better than in almost all other countries, and not just Islamic and Hindu societies. Also note how the movement to attack Western Civilization never touches on the fact that it is in the West that the movement for women's rights arose.
One final matter. The universities go and on about inequities in America. Never mentioned is how expensive university education has become. Cost increases have outpaced virtually every other sector in American society. This, of course, creates hurdles for low-income students, forcing them to borrow huge sums. And because of admissions policies, accepting unprepared students, many do not graduate, leaving them with no degree, but with huge debts to pay off. This is basically a scam on unsuspecting low-income young people. And of course, never mentioned by the PC media
Anglo-Saxons of course are very German(ic) as they were 2 Germanic tribes which migrated to Britain.
That is a relatively small part of their ancestry, even though it forms the main basis for their culture. For the most part, the ancestors of modern Englishmen were Celtic Britons or even earlier Neolithic farmers living in what is now Briton before Indo-European languages arrived.

However I think Whoopi went on to say that she was actually referring to the Holocaust as an event, so it doesn't really matter.

Love that poster on your door
She is right, just break it down. Jews had the same skin color as Germans, so that’s not why; Jews had different hair and eye colors, so that’s not why; the Nazis worked with groups who they considered to be admixed like the Finns, Hungarians, etc., so Middle eastern admixture is not why; Nazis even worked with non-whites like the Japanese and Arabs. The only conclusion we can make is that the physical, or racial features, of Jews had nothing to do with it. It was cultural and a specific ethnic grievance.
Calling French people a race doesn’t mean they are. If they used that word they used it in a specific context to describe an ethnicity. Big difference between the German race and the White race for example.
the main reason is Although Jews made up less than one percent of the total German population in 1933, they had power and influence in finance, business, cultural affairs, and scientific life far out of proportion to their small number. Jewish influence was widely considered to be detrimental to the German recovery after World War I and was largely represented in communist subversion. No legal action was taken against Jews in Germany until after the international Jewish "Declaration of War" against Germany as announced in the Daily Express of March 24, 1933. This "declaration" took the form of a worldwide boycott of German products.
@@GuilhermeGui-vv1om a boycott so worldwide and so thorough that nobody noticed it. That requires some extraordinary diabolical ablilities!
I'd define race as a collection of prevalent biological traits taken together (skin colour, hair colour, facial structure, etc.) to categorize people and certain derived ethnicities. But it's hard to call this an exact science like the nazis tried, because where do you draw the line between races? At what point does mongolian become chinese? Can you count the high prevalence of lactose-intolerence in Japanese as a racial trait seperating them from mainland Asians? It's a genetically inherited trait. And Jews, besides also being a culture and religion, run the gamut from the original levantine peoples, to white-skinned European Jews prominent in North America, and dark-skinned East African Jews who are frequently denied Israeli citizenship despite that being based on religious grounds. It's an idea we all agree on because just as how it's easier to call #804000 just brown, it's easier to just say someone is scandinavian without having to parse through genetic code. Seeing how people placed so much value on this concept is almost entertaining if it wasn't destructive.
To go one step further, DNA code cannot be a basis for race. Race has historically been based on some concept of group belongings in which the group are related by blood. Not even within immediate families do such traits of external appearance, based on genetic code, hold up. In my immediate family, I am the only one with blue eyes. And there other families out there with even starker differences. Such as albinos in Madagascar. Or fraternal twins of mixed "race" couples where one child looks typically "black" and the other typically "white". Since every sperm and every ova each carry a unique combination of the parent's DNA, siblings cannot be adequately categorized based on the historical concepts of race. And thanks to the existence of dominant genes, DNA code can skip multiple generations before manifesting. So sharing such external appearances within extended families become even more challenging. Human beings are just way to complex, too unique, and too unpredictable for there ever to be a scientific way of defining race.
Race is more than that, it is the defining of phylogenetic groups of humans based on physical characteristics. By phylogenetic groups I mean large populations who have unique common ancestors. Japanese people and Chinese people do not have unique common ancestors; neither do Jews and Germans, or Europeans and Africans, or even Europeans and sub-Saharan Africans. That is to say, there is no common ancestor of all sub-Saharan Africans who was not also an ancestor to Europeans, and vice versa.
Love your work, it has inspired me to start writing political essays. I am curious if you could explain how Hitler (and other Nazis) justified basing some of their theory on Marxism while also being anti-Marxist. Hitler’s ideology seems to be built off of Critical Theory and is, obviously, inherently Socialist, yet I would doubt he would call his ideology Marxist.
Marx was like Freud: he invented a set of tools for understanding history and political science, then used them to construct an overarching theory purporting to explain everything in its field. Just as most psychologists today owe a great deal to Freud's work while rejecting his overarching theory as an explanation for all of human psychology, many historians and political scientists today (and in Hitler's day) owe a great deal to Marx's analysis while rejecting his overarching theory.

If you look at the definition of racism, it also includes ethnicity. From persecution to mass murder to include genocide based on either race or ethnicity, it is about race.
Wrong. Although leftist tend to call anyone they disagree a "racist" , original idea was to smear those believing that all biological races are not equal.
Very well put together video as always TIK! Although one thing I really dislike about your position is that you seem to think that anyone who believes in one aspect of socialism believes in them all. While their support of socialism may inherently support antisemitism if you look at it from the most top-down perspective, I think that it is very possible to agree with some aspects of socialism while abhorring others. In these instances, should they simply not call themselves socialists and should we not label them as such? Or would you still call them socialists and continue to lump them in with the antisemites and extremists? I feel that sometimes your arguments apply very broad strokes on society, as most people do not believe in every aspect of something the purport to believe in. In my eyes, this muddies a few of your arguments in a way that seems insincere.
"Although one thing I really dislike about your position is that you seem to think that anyone who believes in one aspect of socialism believes in them all."
No, I don't. Socialism is the umbrella term that I'm using to cast a net over the entire movement, since socialism itself is at the heart of all the various factions. I understand that there's minor differences between the factions, but ultimately I can't sit there listing every faction every time I want to talk about them.
-
"While their support of socialism may inherently support antisemitism if you look at it from the most top-down perspective, I think that it is very possible to agree with some aspects of socialism while abhorring others."
Right, but the reason people are socialist is because they think the (Jewish) "free market" doesn't work. But that assumption itself is born out of anti-Semitism. So to be a socialist is to accept that anti-Semitic arguments are correct. If you agree that the (Jewish) "free market" is bad, then you have no counter when a National Socialist argues this. Why are you any different to a Nazi? They were saying the same thing!
-
"Or would you still call them socialists and continue to lump them in with the antisemites and extremists?"
No no, they are one and the same. Whether individual socialists realize it or not, anti-Semitism is fundamental to the idea of Socialism, because their dislike of the "capitalist free market" is the same thing as anti-Semitism, due to the fact that the Jews were (historically) so closely tied to the bourgeoisie, capitalism and the free market.
Someones butthurt...
@@TheImperatorKnight thanks for the in depth reply, I definitely see what you mean and I agree on the whole. One thing that I am still curious about is what you would call people who agree with only a few aspects of socialism such as partially socialized healthcare? It seems disingenuous to label them as socialists when there is clearly a lot of baggage to go along with that term that would often not apply to these people.
TIK, the anti-socialist who loves the NHS.
There exists a multitude of definitions of what socialism is, and TIK narrow-mindedly only recognizes a fringe interpretation of what socialism is, an interpretation only used by certain rightwing people and never used by self-identifying socialists. As excellent TIK is in debunking critical race theory, as garbage is he in explaining socialism.
Brilliant, as usual!
I don't think that Whoopie's comments were out of line with a modern interpretation of race and whiteness from modern SJWs more or less being that the only race differences that matter is black and white. I don't think she meant anything ill by it towards it or denail of the Holoccaut. Just a hyper focus on that black and white perspective. Still igorance.

Loved the video. I second the recommendation for James Lindsay's: Race Marxism. It is an excellent book!
Check out James Lindsay’s youtube channel “New Discourses”.
