Is it Time to Give Up on Black Excellence? @ForHarriet619

For Harriet The concept of "Black Excellence" is rooted in capitalist achievement and can lead to overwhelming pressure and expectations for Black professionals, particularly Black women, in predominantly white spaces. Let's discuss it.

TLDR: The concept of "Black Excellence" is rooted in capitalist achievement and can lead to overwhelming pressure and expectations for Black professionals, particularly women, in predominantly white spaces.

00:00 Challenging the concept of "Black Excellence" rooted in capitalism and appearance, and redefining it through community voices and historical context is necessary for a more comprehensive understanding of Black history.

19:09 Black excellence is important but comes with challenges, including the impact of affirmative action, backlash against diversity programs, and the constant need to prove oneself.

30:03 The speaker questions the impact of "Black excellence" mindset, discussing burnout, resentment, and societal expectations, while reflecting on the election of Barack Obama and their own experience with socioeconomic stratification.

40:05 Black Excellence often benefits white people more than Black people, and the speaker questions its overuse and lack of real substance in addressing systemic oppression and economic inequality.

57:32 The concept of "Black Excellence" may no longer be helpful as it overlooks the reality of people's situations and the diminishing class mobility, with younger generations facing different financial challenges.

01:08:18 Black excellence in media should not be the only representation of Black women, as vulnerability and authenticity are essential for true equality and human representation, leading to a shift in societal and institutional roles and the need to redefine excellence.

01:19:56 Black Excellence can be problematic as it often promotes assimilation and elitism, and the solution is to redefine what it truly means.

Why JD Vance Cant Defend His Family from The Rights Rabid Racists

For Harriet 2024-07-26 | A close look at JD Vance's inflammatory racial rhetoric and the National Conservatism movement.

In this thought-provoking video, Kim delves into the complexities surrounding JD Vance, the Ohio Senator and rising star in the national conservative movement. Highlighting Vance's controversial rhetoric and his struggles to defend his family against racist attacks, Kim critiques the troubling compromises he makes in pursuit of political power. As Vance grapples with themes of American identity and nationalism, Kim contrasts his approach with the more inclusive narratives of past leaders, revealing the internal conflicts within the Republican Party. This discussion not only sheds light on Vance's declining support but also explores the broader implications of national conservatism and its impact on marginalized voices in America. Join us as we unpack the intricate dynamics of race, identity, and political strategy in the lead-up to the upcoming election.
