this comment tells me you didnt watch the video as it is not the same things as the article. But by all means tell me what you thought was wrong in the article or video.
I thought the link was to the article.
Either way the article is to narrow to be focused. on something like "white privilege" What about the privilege of celebrity, of being a women, of being a candidate. Does the fact she has an army of people factor into it.
Is this white privilege or is this class privilege.
And the video has problems to. Slavery is insanely expensive and it destroys the economy, it has happened in every country that abolished it including us. Poor whites didn't care about slaves because they were farmers and the idea of working for plantation owners was almost non-existent until after the civil war. They fought in that war becuase they saw it as an attack on their lifestyle. Northern industrial Americans would burn down their farms and change their society into something they didn't want. (and they did. It is war after all.)
The argument for closing the border is largely security based, not economy based. in fact it's mainly poor minorities that I have seen argue against illegal immigration based on the job market.
People voted for David Duke as a protest vote, because corruption was rampant in Louisiana. In fact Duke ran as a reformed christian that would bring Christianity and good conscience to the State, not as a klansmen. it became a story because everyone was suprised the wacko got close(actually he wasn't really close.) Ironically this guy doesn't mention Bobby Jindal (The actual governor right now of LA) at all. Apparently everyone in LA hates blacks but loves Hindus
I have never heard of the guy before, so i can't comment on his works, but there are some stretches in that video.
