17:00 as a former trans kid, affirmation does not help at all. I wish at the time I was told there could be masculine women and feminine men rather than blind affirmation, and if anything, the blind affirmation leads to a higher suicide rate because these children have either permanently altered their bodies or have done so much to where they feel pressured to go through with it even if they changed their mind, personally it was the second for me. It's just so infuriating that these progressives talk about this and don't realize the damage they're doing, while also silencing detransitioners like myself to fit their narrative, absolutely disgusting.
Ben Shapiro did a video with someone who went through something similar. ❤️ So you're not alone in this. Yeah. It does feel a bit like a cult type mindset when I think of it. Tomboys exist, femboys exist, there are so many different types of people and I'm glad you have gotten closer to who you are/becoming ❤️
You should contact Matt Walsh here on YT and Blaire White. Matt has detransitioners on his channel and gives them a platform to be heard, not silenced as usual. Blaire is transgender but refuses to stand for children to be indoctrinated and fights for children and women rights and she's against children being put on hormones or hormone blockers. She's MtF but refuses to ignore biology and she is absolutely female presenting but won't get bottom surgery. She gives detransitioners a platform to have a voice and her good friend is the founder of gays against groomers. I'm lesbian and a conservative so I'm not part of what the LGBT "community" has become. I refuse to be apart of a group pushing for the mutilation of children. You shouldn't have been in a position to feel you had to go through with transitioning and I hate that you made life altering decisions about your body and mind before all other alternatives were exhausted. I don't deny that body dismorphia is real and exists, but, I do believe that it's a mental health issue people are born with and a rare issue at that, not the fad it has become among our youth as a way to be different and receive attention. Children have no concept on adult decisions, life long decisions that they can't just forget or change once surgical and medical intervention has occurred. The numbers speak for themselve and you're just 1 of 79% of individuals who have transitioned and regret that they transitioned but their lives will never be easy or the what could have been if given time and patience. Your voice is important and needed to help others understand the importance of taking their time and exhaust all options before choosing surgical procedures that can't be reversed. I commend your bravery and strength and I pray you never think about taking your life because your hear for a reason and you have the power to fight against the ideologies that created your regrettable decisions.
I used to follow Impact back when I was a hard leftist and the things they say makes it seem so credible and progressive. Now being on the other side it is crazy to me that people think this way!
Right!!!! Recently I saw they had a post on toxic masculinity that quoted the stat "61% of reddit users are men." And.......?????!!! That was it! No analysis, no further connections, just 61% of reddit users are men therefore toxic masculinity. It's like a bad, poorly researched high school presentation you did the night before at 4 in the morning but somehow keep getting an A.
Fellow Aussie here. I think we have a fantastic system better than both America and UK however, this has not stopped Labor and liberals teaming up to monopolize the vote. Eg, in the last election we saw the Libs tell people to vote labor before the united Australia party. They'd rather lose to the status quo opposition than to let a third party gain traction and hold people accountable.
"Lib/Lab"... Is 'Lab' like Americas Republicans? ( Pls forgive my ignorance. I just realized that I know nothing about Australias government/politics )
@@SundayMourningLove Over here we have two main parties, the center-right party, called The Liberal Party of Australia, and the center-left party, the Australian Labor Party (Our liberals are right wing). There are also a few smaller parties, generally being more extreme. These include the Australian Greens, who are focused on social justice and primarily environmental protection, and the United Australia Party, a far(ish) right party focused on nationalism and personal freedoms. Hope my little crash course helped.
I'm so baffled I'm a black man that grew up in the 80s and to see a gorgeous adorable lady say exactly what I think is strange.. idk it's like you're psychic... So intrigued thank u for keeping it 💯
The role models and influences from the 80s and 90s were MASSIVELY different from the horrific atrocities that people have to look up to today! It all took a drastic turn for the worse around about 2008! The people in positions to make a difference have done everything they can to divide American's, and to use their platforms to talk about how horrible America is, while making millions of dollars and enjoying all of their constitutional, God given, freedoms that men and women have died to defend!
So because you didnt die people who have MUST have been resisting? Im not saying all cops are racist, but to deny the deaths of so many because YOU are alive is unfair
That’s because you’re white. If you were black, it would’ve been a completely different situation. That’s literally the point we’re trying to make. Cops view you differently than they view us.
THANK YOU! Voting is NOT something to do just to say you did it. Voting is something to do IF you have an actual interest in what’s going on AND you’ve taken time to really look at what you’re really voting for and the truth behind the issues and what’s going on and what each side is actually representing. Don’t vote just to say you did. That’s of no service to our country and does more harm than good.
Why is it that so many criminals’ past mistakes “don’t matter”, but this country - which is a far from perfect work in progress - is held to every mistake we ever made? All for accountability & growth that supports everyone, but how do we expect to move in the direction of actual progress if we’re so busy calling ourselves the worst for every bad choice we’ve made as a country?!
They want to teardown every statue or monument of anyone they don't agree with, erasing and rewriting history. There are high-schools and colleges named King George. Remember him? We fought a war with him some 240 years ago for our very existence. Christopher Columbus, Martin Luther King Jr. Malcom-X, aka Richard Little, none of them were perfect, all deserving of criticism. That dose not mean that they should be erased from history or that their achievements weren't valuable.
@@frankcastle1216 Your reply about it being more one political party is shadow banned,I just caught it before ,which leads me to believe your statement is absolutely true.shameful stuff youtube.
How are there not at least a million likes on this by now? This girl is smart, logical, current, and on point. The fact that she's easy on the eyes can't hurt. Even when I don't agree (which is rare) I respect her viewpoint. Talk this girl up! Plenty of people could use this in their life.
I had to like this video for what you say at 2 mins in alone. Not everyone needs to vote .. we have too many young people( there are ignorant older people too for sure but ya know probably not voting because Miley Cyrus told them to and praises Hilary Clinton lol) voting just to get the sticker and they know NOTHING about politics or our country or the people running … I have seen them asked basic questions and can’t answer. It’s truly scary that these people are voting 😫
I didn’t vote because I didn’t educate myself on the candidates and the issues. I feel like if I did vote it would’ve been irresponsible of me since I would just be guessing…
So what you're saying is, you took more time to post this comment than to prepare for the future of your home and family? Thank you for giving me this opportunity to feel morally and intellectually superior. But I can't take that opportunity because you just reminded me of my little sister. She couldn't stand talking about politics, but she loved feeding me while I did. This time of year, I always miss her apple rhubarb pie.
I remember my history teacher told me I could get respirations for being a large percentage of Native American. I asked why I would need that if I didn't live on a reservation and though my life wasnt great it definitely wasnt bad compared to those who lived on reservations. She never gave me a direct answer and changed the subject.
The “could have been you” also applies to modern political divisions. I know if I grew up in a hyper liberal family, I probably also would have been brainwashed, my parents probably would have transitioned me as a child because I was a huge tomboy. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in a conservative Catholic household where that did not happen and where the basis of my values were formed. I think we all need that humility. People who were on one side and the shifted understand better the “it could have been me” but I think more people need to have that in mind when they talk with people on the opposite side. If you were raised differently, had different experiences, had different information, didn’t go through whatever it was that helped you establish your moral and political compass, you very well could have been on that other side. That doesn’t mean we excuse their evil when evil is being done (like abortion and child mutilation and grooming), but that does mean that when dealing with individuals, we see the humanity in each. It is humbling to us and also if you speak to the person and not the caricature in your mind they represent, you are more likely to be able to reach them. Just a thought.
I love y'all, but I have never heard the sentiment that not everyone needs to vote. Of course, of course, I've heard that ignorance shouldn't vote, but I always pushed for people to educate themselves before a vote. It has never occurred to me to think some people won't take the time to do the research and thus don't need to vote. I have to ponder that for a while. Still, I love y'all and appreciate what you're doing!
This is where generational political servitude happens. The parents don't talk to their kids about why they vote but instead how they vote. The only way to fix this single issue is removing all party affiliations from the ballot
The original thought was that only landowners should vote because they have a stake in the outcome. They didn't go that way, but I agree with the sentiment that the people voting should have some understanding of life.
Well, I was taught (and now teach my own children) that being informed about who is running for an office - and why - is every person's civic duty. If we each vote for what we believe is needed for our community, then the best for the most will prevail.
I like that you’re willing to criticise Elon Musk, who seems to be an untouchable hero for the right. His baby daddy status and unwillingness to criticise the Chinese Communist Party tarnish some of the gloss for me.
Amala, I really loved what you said about people thinking it couldn’t be them. Anyone could do the most terrible things if put in certain circumstances. I’ve spent my whole life trying to understand everyone. I believe you can’t judge someone for an action or choice if you don’t know WHY they did what they did. It doesn’t justify what they’ve done… but the best prevention is awareness, and striving for understanding is the first step we ALL can take.
You know what really sticks out to me for these people that talk about and see racism in literally every aspect of life, they never want to sit down and discuss how it should be fixed. Other than things like abolish the police and give reparations. I just feel like we’re not having a logical, common sense, realistic expectations type of conversation. I would like that to happen. I just feel like everything else is just complaining. Which never fixes anything.
Racism of the past created a cycle. You have to start with criminal justice. Change state laws to stop considering the sale of drugs a violent crime. Whites do just as much drugs as blacks and sale them also but the state penitentiaries are overly populated with black drug offenders. Stop over sentencing black first time offenders. All of this started with the war on drugs and still goes on today. Republican and Dem states. worse in Republican states though. especially the south. Also there is no living wage. you can work 40 hours a week and still barely be able to take care of yourself let alone a wife and kid. All of this created a cycle. When a young black kid in the inner city walks out his door, what role models do he sees. He's broke, clothes are trash, and barely eating. He's sees the only people with anything are the criminals. So that's what he does. People don't understand what it's like especially for a young black male. Just an example. young white male parents gets divorced he starts acting out getting in trouble, on drugs and society will say he just needs help, some therapy or something. Black children in the hood go through more trauma in a year than most people will ever see, but people expect them to be normal, to overcome a whole childhood of f***ed up things. Some do make it out🤷 statistically speaking it can't be 100%. then people point to that person and see if he can everyone can. Not understanding just how lucky that person was. Look at the Criminal justice system as a start for fixing racial problems and helping black people. Understand that most are a product of their environment. An environment that was created by racism. There's an old music video that sorta explains what I'm talking about. "When I Grow Up" artist Yellopain. it might help you understand better
A massive portion of the wealth from slavery was wiped out in the civil war. Cities ruined, farms and supplies burned and lost, and all slaves set free. Land was all that was left.
Some of America's wealth was generated through slavery. However, most slaves in America were held by very few people. The vast majority of wealth in this country has been created since the industrial revolution, which was well after the end of slavery. To suggest that a significant portion of America's current wealth was created through slavery is, I believe, a great error.
Who is the young man that co-hosts Unapologetic? I love Amala, she is such a breath of fresh air. The guy deserves an introduction for people new to this show. I know he's also on the podcast with Will and Amala as well but I'm not familiar enough. Either way it's awesome to see young people discussing these issues with some kind of introspection.
You are truly amazing. I’ve been looking for your page for some time now. So glad I recently found you, and of course subscribed! You are so well educated. Wish more people spoke out like you do.
Technically with the rezzes, it's not actually government land or something, it's run by the tribes. Something like that. So there's only so much the government is allowed to do. I don't go up to the rez as a result. I heard, at least here in AZ, they weren't distributing COVID relief funds properly either. Of course I could be wrong on both accounts. This is just what I've heard living nearby.
As a brit please remember that ww2 started in 1939 and we and our empire stood alone. And before you say oh we did lend lease to you and kept you going, true and we payed for every single item we finished paying in 2020.
I grew up in the 90’s and early 2000’s and I remember being a young kid/teen and race played NO role in our lives. School was filled with all kinds of people and not one person cared about race. I grew up with one motto don’t be a dick. My husband is Native American and Mexican and our kids are those and white from me 16years old started dating him and at 32 are still together and I can assure you race never entered the chat until the last couple of years but now we have to teach our kids if they see something that says they’re racist cause their skin looks white is not true. It’s just crazy!
At first, I was going to disagree with you when you said that not everyone needs to vote, but I actually think you're right. I was a college freshman back in 2015 and I was genuinely surprised by how many of my peers had no idea how government works, and many of them didn't even know what a democracy is. I had jury duty about a year and a half ago, and I was the ONLY member below the age of 35 because a lot of young people aren't even registered to vote. I think the vast majority of young American adults are either uninterested or completely brainwashed about politics. Nobody who doesn't care, or is incapable of independent thought, should be voting.
The difference between "can" and "should". You have the right and patriotic sentiment but any attempt to officially monitor the comprehension of a voter would not be democratic.
you made a great point about how black immigrants are more likely to be successful or in higher education.. it's because almost every African parent values education more than anything else. As an african immigrant myself, I'd say if you asked my parents to choose between me getting a high paying job with no education vs. a high paying job with an education, they would choose the latter no matter what. On the other hand, a lot of African American families are broken which is why there is not as much emphasis on education as there is as anything else. That's the biggest issue here.
8:06 and police brutality may have increased over the decades, but I would argue that it's not a one-sided rise. Anti-police sentiment has also been on the rise, such that police themselves also get killed over a routine traffic stop. And let's not forget the near daily horrors they have to witness, that people perpetrate on each other. With all that, is it really any wonder if cops are under high tension even just for traffic stops?
Something I think the conservative side needs to work on (including myself) is nitpicking at the left's opinions just because it "sounds lefty". We are stereotyped as boring, controlling, lifeless people, and there are actually a lot of times where that is true. We start injecting our personal preferences into the framework and advertising of "our side" and it's getting old. If a girl doesn't want to shave or wear a bra, get over it. If a guy wants to paint his nails and wear makeup, who cares? If someone wants blue hair and thirty body piercings, how could possibly actually effect you? We need to let go of our preferred style of person and start getting to the root of the matter. Throwing around conservative buzzwords and promoting the style of the average forty-year- old in Appalachia (I live in Tennessee so don't come at me) is not what our argument should be riding on. We should be holding up truth and freedom and keeping the preferences out of politics. -a young conservative girl.
Yesssss I've been saying the same thing! It's insane.,...I hate the pressure of voting especially since I don't follow politics nor understand much of it.,... I'm really just focused on getting my life together
Quite a lot of the rich black americans in our country now benefited from their ancestors who owned slaves. And yes, there were many blacks who owned slaves too and it's been proven that many of the black slave owners were much more abusive than white slave owners. No reparations should not be paid. Welfare has been used as a form of reparations - it hasn't worked.
I’m African-American and you’re wrong. Those slaves black Americans owed were their family members and it was a legal maneuver used to keep their family members from being kidnapped, sold, and physically abused.
@@Smokinjo85 there is none. Black Americans owned slaves who were their family members. It was to legally protect them from the laws that said black people could be kidnapped and sold.
I got a bad taste in my mouth for voting twice. 1st was Bush Sr and his no new taxes. Then my 1st opportunity to vote in state elections was (wa) the governor race. Christine Gregior (sic) vs Dino Rossi. It was close and had 3 recounts. The 1st 2 Rossi (rep) won the 3rd time Gregoire (dem)won. They didn't do another one. Wa is and has been for decades a Dem state. Most races here are lopsided and when they are close the abouve thing happens. I'm independent and don't belive in the party system. I respect Rep more then dem but both irritate the hell out of me beacuse they have to walk a fine line or they get kicked out. If our vote carried the ability to force our reps to adhear to what they said they would do, I would vote again.
Black people who feel they should be reparations for the past slavery in America, need to go back to the source of the slavery. First you need to identify the country within the continent of Africa that you feel attacked, imprisoned, enslaved and then sold your ancestors to other people who brought you to be slaves for them in North America, as well as other places. Secondly, you need to tell the people of that country(s) that they need to pay you reparations because of what you feel their ancestors did to your ancestors. Thirdly, you must be able to run very fast, as those people will most likely be chasing you down the street, if they don't just fall out of their seats laughing at you.
What gets me, are those that condemn slavery and says everybody who benefits from slavery are evil, when they are posting on a smart device, that has been made by slaves…………… if they don’t want to be a blatant hypocrite, don’t have anything involved in today’s slavery! Because if you don’t, YOU are benefiting from slavery………….
The Grooming of young children (especially with sexual abuse) and how it happens is a video I would love to see you make Amala. Not enough people know and truly understand how insidious it is. More importantly, I would add how parents and other adults can recognise the warning signs of sexual abuse. And how to help a child in that situation even if you aren't a social worker etc because too many social workers don't do their jobs properly, see the Grooming gangs here in the UK which are still happening!
Hey amala… have you ever heard of Blaire white? She’s super conservative trans person who shares a crap ton of the same ideas as you. Actually looks like a whole woman as well. I think it’d be genius to have a interview with her.
I saw her very first video, like a decade ago, and didn't have a clue she was trans. But I agreed with everything she said. The reveal came at the end of the video and I was shocked. That was before all her surgeries, and she had a more natural look. It was love at first sight, and then I had to slam on the brakes.
I agree. You know how many celebrities I don't watch or listen to anymore because they couldn't help themselves and keep their mouths shut on politics, countless. Celebs need to keep to the entertainment and not tell me how to live or what political views to have
It is bs because it pushes kids to vote for whoever their favorite famous people vote for. I've voted twice in my entire life. Once was when i voted against Bush 2 and I did it because of Eminem's song Mosh. Then, last election I voted because I didn't want exactly what happened to happen. I will be voting again next year, for president. I'm 40. I wasn't educated enough in the candidates or anything else and therefore i figured that I may not be the best person to contribute because I literally knew nothing
There is no indigenous race of Americans. Scientists have found that Native American populations - from Canada to the southern tip of Chile - arose from at least three migrations, with the majority descended entirely from a single group of First American migrants that crossed over through Beringia, a land bridge between Asia and America that existed during the ice ages, more than 15,000 years ago.
It seems to me that criticizing their own country is a great excuse to justify things like lack of success at school, at work, bad behaviour etc. Being angry at injustices is fine when that energy is used to solve problems instead of hiding behind them.
I had to unfollow that impact account because they posted something weird demonizing women who use disposable menstrual products. I can't remember exactly because it was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure that was it.
so I am from Europe....but I don't get the idea that the blacks in America are set back because of slavery..(of course the slaves suffered a lot and this was a very unjust and cruel system - set up also by the ones how sold them to the slavetraders - this were black people in Africa)..because if they had stayed in Africa - their progeny would be in Africa now......and is there one African country where you can live free and prosper today? Also the wealth in Europe(and I guess everywhere else in the world) was built on a kind of slavery - because there was a bondage system (it was called "Leibeigenschaft" which literals means "owning the body") nobody except noblesse could own land, the normal people just had to work on this land and give everything to the owner......they were not "free" to do anything else without consent of the land owner. As far as I know this people were beaten too, because there was no system of justice that advocated for them. Demokraty and human rights were invented by white people btw and are not that common in African or asien countries.......
23:17 is spot on. It makes you wonder what we are doing today in our every day lives that people will look at 200 years from now and say "They were horrible people"
I have a question. When I've said the thing about not racism baked into society, i always get "intergenerational wealth" next how do you respond? Bare in mind I am new to this, but i am trying.
I’m more concerned about black Femicide, black women experiencing 3x DV, etc That is happening disproportionately right now. The locus of the problem isn’t racism or the police.
I appreciate what Taylor said around the 24 min mark about how if you lived in the 1800’s & your family owned slaves, you would have been ok with it just as a matter of course. That’s how things were then. I appreciate this because I AM a descendant of slave owners not even that far back; my great grandparents were the last slave owners in our family. My grandmother grew up on the family plantation in Virginia, she had a Debutant Ball at 16, she was a member of the D.A.R., I even remember dusting her intricate wood furniture as a child & learning that it was handmade by our slaves. As a very young child, I had no feelings about this old Southern heritage, but as I grew up in CA during the 2000’s & went to liberal schools, I learned what White Guilt was & that I should be ashamed of my heritage. Soon that became engrained in me & the more I grew into a “good liberal”, the more self-hatred I developed on that subject. Only recently in my 30’s have I left the Left, as well as my white guilt & a slew of other things I was supposed to be ashamed of as a straight, monogamous, white woman on the Far Left. The only thing I had going for me was being a woman. 😅 So anyway, thanks for saying that, Taylor. It’s absolutely true. Had I been alive in my family at that time, I would have had my own black Nan to care for me like my grandmother did & wouldn’t have thought twice about it. I can’t fault myself for that anymore, it’s unnecessarily damaging.
In Australia, we are legally compelled to vote. If we don’t vote, we get a fine, if we don’t pay the fine…we lose our driver’s license which affects a lot of our jobs. This results is people voting with lots of resentment, and they just don’t care. So they will often vote for a party with a funny name e.g ‘The Pirate Party’ or ‘The Sex Party’ or they will just scribble on the form, or mark it 1-4 for ‘whatever’ purposes to get it over with…resulting in a ‘donkey vote’ which means they are by default contributing their vote to a main party that may not share the values they would agree with. Because it’s forced. Australia always follows The USA’s lead with everything from fashion to ‘gay marriage’ being legalised. What you do, we do not long after. But we haven’t followed your voting system, I wish we would. It would be a more accurate representation of what we want politically. What are your thoughts on this?
These trolls just want attention. Stop feeding the trolls. These are the kind of people that will talk about change all day, but do nothing to make a change - not even as much as change themselves.
Bro, this people are insane. Honestly, I agree a 100% with Amala: just because their country did bad things in the past, doesn’t mean you should hate it (and I say “their country” because I’m not American), and I also wish good luck to those people to try and find a country that hasn’t done anything wrong in the entire existence. They’ll need it. Also, I got so infuriated with reason number three of why you shouldn’t celebrate America because it said “U.S. killed 300,000 Vietnamese people in the Vietnam War.” This is mostly because #1: I made an exposition about this subject for my history class, and I can assure you that most of those people whom the U.S. killed were Vietnamese from South Vietnam, AKA the half that supported the communists during the war, AKA THE FREAKING ENEMY. #2: Do they seriously don’t know how a war works? The U.S. HAD to kill those people because they were the FREAKING ENEMY. I hate when people are so misinformed and then go around spreading their wrong information. 🙄🙄🙄
Amala is an inspiring figure, a very intelligent woman trying to spread a positive message to the world. Thank you Amala, you're brilliant. And that laugh you have is delightful!
anecdote : in a documentary about cleopatra a queen of egypt the actress were white. All black american commenting on that post said : whitewashing of african history. The problem is that northafrican are predominantly white and brown not black. I am northafrican i am moroccan and i m light skinned. Even though egyptiens, and north african told them that it wasn't white washing they refused to accept that cleopatra was white they even labeled me a non african and said that since i wasn t black i didn't have the right to discuss the subject. 😅 this is mindboggling for me. It seems like they need to make it about race to feel like the world is taking something that they are intitled to take back.
I love that the US has a right to choose if they want to vote. I'm Australian and as soon as I got my P plates at 18yrs old (they passing of a driver's licence) you're automatically put onto the voting registration & if you don't go you get a $50 fine to start, then if you ignore this fine you get a $135 fine & it just keeps going up. That's exactly why I donkey vote as all our politicians are definitely corrupt in both sides IMO. Just thought I needed to educate some young Americans who have the right to not vote if they like. I wish we had that right. Honestly. Or you just can never drive a car! It's so backwards imo.
It's like when you graduate college. You get scared because you don't know what you're gonna do now. Because you may not have plans for your future. Well, now that the races are becoming more equal.... Now you have to make your own wealth. Now you have to make your own success. Now you have to go get a job. Now You have to do the things that you should do to take care of yourself. You can't rely on the government anymore. I understand the fear, but wouldn't you rather be in control of your destiny, rather than continue to feel "held down". I wouldn't want to be a victim for my whole life.
100% not everyone needs to vote, I am one of those people. I don't understand politics or the economy and I am someone who sees both sides so it makes it even more confusing... That is why I don't vote
Joel Patrick gets pulled over all the time and he has not experienced any violence at the hands of the police…Joel is African American and supports the police.
Yep don’t matter if your the richest person in the world have some COMMON SENSE 🙄🙄🙄🙄 so sad dads are so few I know mine was evil but it made me want to be a better wife and Mom why do people want to repeat the generational curses????? And I’m so sick of the word racism 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I know there are normies and patriots out there I just hope they show up!!!!!! Be careful out there in Cali!!!!
It's been a long time since I voted. I've been reading up on current events. There's a lot going on. I will be casting an informed vote in the next election.
I like you because you're a more thoughtful Republican and use language without disrespecting others. Unlike Candace who's been just vile and derogatory like the liberal lunatics.
You only need to vote, IF, you want to have a vote in a matter. What this really is, group think where they know who there followers are. What they're really saying is, If we're re going to win, you need to put in your vote (for us)
I went to that page on IG because I saw something about hula, (I am part Hawaiian). The comments on that hula post are sickening. Those people are Progressive? supposed to be the party of love and acceptance? There were a few comments of people telling Hawaiians to be grateful for the US and to shut up when people disrespect our culture. wow. Those people do not know Hawaiian history at all, because if they did, they would find out how, (in 1893), US politicians arrested the Hawaiian Queen and took over her government. But a lot of the oppression for Hawaiians started in 1810, when the missionaries arrived and immediately tore down the 'savage' culture Hawaiians had cultivated for many centuries. Ancient Hawaiians did not read or write, they memorized everything and incorporated all their history and rituals into chant and hula. There was a comment that hula was made for political reasons. Ugh, I just cannot explain to these people how complicated Hawaiian culture and language is. Yes, ancient Hawaiians were warring with other Hawaiians and there was ancient chants and hula for war. But hula is not only about that, it is about beauty, expression, love and knowledge. I will not bother to explain to people like them though, because they don't care, they just want to push their own idea and thoughts as truth. I will enjoy my Hawaiian culture and pretend these ignorant, hateful people do not exist.
17:00 as a former trans kid, affirmation does not help at all. I wish at the time I was told there could be masculine women and feminine men rather than blind affirmation, and if anything, the blind affirmation leads to a higher suicide rate because these children have either permanently altered their bodies or have done so much to where they feel pressured to go through with it even if they changed their mind, personally it was the second for me. It's just so infuriating that these progressives talk about this and don't realize the damage they're doing, while also silencing detransitioners like myself to fit their narrative, absolutely disgusting.
Hope you're doing well :)
Sending you love and hoping that things in your life are better now. If they're not, stay strong. You matter, and you've got this! ❤️
Ben Shapiro did a video with someone who went through something similar. ❤️ So you're not alone in this. Yeah. It does feel a bit like a cult type mindset when I think of it. Tomboys exist, femboys exist, there are so many different types of people and I'm glad you have gotten closer to who you are/becoming ❤️
You should contact Matt Walsh here on YT and Blaire White. Matt has detransitioners on his channel and gives them a platform to be heard, not silenced as usual. Blaire is transgender but refuses to stand for children to be indoctrinated and fights for children and women rights and she's against children being put on hormones or hormone blockers. She's MtF but refuses to ignore biology and she is absolutely female presenting but won't get bottom surgery. She gives detransitioners a platform to have a voice and her good friend is the founder of gays against groomers. I'm lesbian and a conservative so I'm not part of what the LGBT "community" has become. I refuse to be apart of a group pushing for the mutilation of children. You shouldn't have been in a position to feel you had to go through with transitioning and I hate that you made life altering decisions about your body and mind before all other alternatives were exhausted. I don't deny that body dismorphia is real and exists, but, I do believe that it's a mental health issue people are born with and a rare issue at that, not the fad it has become among our youth as a way to be different and receive attention. Children have no concept on adult decisions, life long decisions that they can't just forget or change once surgical and medical intervention has occurred. The numbers speak for themselve and you're just 1 of 79% of individuals who have transitioned and regret that they transitioned but their lives will never be easy or the what could have been if given time and patience. Your voice is important and needed to help others understand the importance of taking their time and exhaust all options before choosing surgical procedures that can't be reversed. I commend your bravery and strength and I pray you never think about taking your life because your hear for a reason and you have the power to fight against the ideologies that created your regrettable decisions.
They have just turned the whole thing in to a political drama.
If you vote just because some pop “artist” compels you to, that’s sad.
The Left NEVER want people to think for themselves. You are right, it is sad
It’s crazy bc now a days I have really noticed how rap music and such have really affected our youth
Don’t promote voting, promote caring about politics

She is very encouraging for her.
She's chill and to the point, she has a wonderful vibe

I used to follow Impact back when I was a hard leftist and the things they say makes it seem so credible and progressive. Now being on the other side it is crazy to me that people think this way!
Right!!!! Recently I saw they had a post on toxic masculinity that quoted the stat "61% of reddit users are men." And.......?????!!! That was it! No analysis, no further connections, just 61% of reddit users are men therefore toxic masculinity.

As an Aussie I fully agree about not everyone needs or should vote, Lib/Lab has the monopoly using stupid uninformed FORCED votes
Fellow Aussie here. I think we have a fantastic system better than both America and UK however, this has not stopped Labor and liberals teaming up to monopolize the vote. Eg, in the last election we saw the Libs tell people to vote labor before the united Australia party. They'd rather lose to the status quo opposition than to let a third party gain traction and hold people accountable.
non votes are votes. and if you don't want to use your own brain then you are part of the problem as a whole. :)
"Lib/Lab"... Is 'Lab' like Americas Republicans? ( Pls forgive my ignorance. I just realized that I know nothing about Australias government/politics )
@@SundayMourningLove Over here we have two main parties, the center-right party, called The Liberal Party of Australia, and the center-left party, the Australian Labor Party (Our liberals are right wing). There are also a few smaller parties, generally being more extreme. These include the Australian Greens, who are focused on social justice and primarily environmental protection, and the United Australia Party, a far(ish) right party focused on nationalism and personal freedoms. Hope my little crash course helped.
If I ever go to a concert, and that artist starts talking politics, I'm walking out. I just wanna hear the music, not about your values.
I really hope free speech still exists in 200 years so we can and will be criticized for what we’re doing now 🥺🙏
I'm so baffled I'm a black man that grew up in the 80s and to see a gorgeous adorable lady say exactly what I think is strange.. idk it's like you're psychic... So intrigued thank u for keeping it 💯
The role models and influences from the 80s and 90s were MASSIVELY different from the horrific atrocities that people have to look up to today! It all took a drastic turn for the worse around about 2008! The people in positions to make a difference have done everything they can to divide American's, and to use their platforms to talk about how horrible America is, while making millions of dollars and enjoying all of their constitutional, God given, freedoms that men and women have died to defend!
You should watch the interview Africa Brookes did with Jordan Peterson.
7:36 first I'M WHITE and I've had WHITE cops do exactly what was explained here! I cooperated, took the ticket, and didn't die. 😳🤯
So because you didnt die people who have MUST have been resisting? Im not saying all cops are racist, but to deny the deaths of so many because YOU are alive is unfair
Agreed. I treat them with respect and they treat me with respect. I've also been THANKED by cops for not giving them attitude like so many others do.
That’s because you’re white. If you were black, it would’ve been a completely different situation. That’s literally the point we’re trying to make. Cops view you differently than they view us.
THANK YOU! Voting is NOT something to do just to say you did it. Voting is something to do IF you have an actual interest in what’s going on AND you’ve taken time to really look at what you’re really voting for and the truth behind the issues and what’s going on and what each side is actually representing. Don’t vote just to say you did. That’s of no service to our country and does more harm than good.
Why is it that so many criminals’ past mistakes “don’t matter”, but this country - which is a far from perfect work in progress - is held to every mistake we ever made?
All for accountability & growth that supports everyone, but how do we expect to move in the direction of actual progress if we’re so busy calling ourselves the worst for every bad choice we’ve made as a country?!
That's actually a fantastic argument.

The fact that it’s 2022, and people can’t do their own research and need a celebrity to tell them how to vote is sad….
Depends on the celebrity. Russell Brand seems to be doing a pretty good job.

I had to like this video for what you say at 2 mins in alone. Not everyone needs to vote .. we have too many young people( there are ignorant older people too for sure but ya know probably not voting because Miley Cyrus told them to and praises Hilary Clinton lol) voting just to get the sticker and they know NOTHING about politics or our country or the people running … I have seen them asked basic questions and can’t answer. It’s truly scary that these people are voting 😫
I didn’t vote because I didn’t educate myself on the candidates and the issues. I feel like if I did vote it would’ve been irresponsible of me since I would just be guessing…
So what you're saying is, you took more time to post this comment than to prepare for the future of your home and family? Thank you for giving me this opportunity to feel morally and intellectually superior. But I can't take that opportunity because you just reminded me of my little sister. She couldn't stand talking about politics, but she loved feeding me while I did. This time of year, I always miss her apple rhubarb pie.
Current example of institutionalized racism.... Affirmative Action.
I remember my history teacher told me I could get respirations for being a large percentage of Native American.
I asked why I would need that if I didn't live on a reservation and though my life wasnt great it definitely wasnt bad compared to those who lived on reservations.
She never gave me a direct answer and changed the subject.
I would have asked her if I could get it in beaver skins and wampum. But I only have enough Indian blood to make me a smart ass.
LOVE her views on almost everything! (and she's GORGEOUS!)
She not bad. Gorgeous pushing it. But with the brain and personality she is definitely a catch for somebody
“Gorgeous” definitely applies! Not only is she physically gorgeous but adding the brain/common-sense factor certainly makes her a perfect 10. 👍👍
@@humblebugg5270 agreed
Amala, as a baby boomer myself you give me hope for this generation 💯
Giving reparations in the present is equivalent to blaming the baby in the womb for your problems. Totally ridiculous.
The “could have been you” also applies to modern political divisions. I know if I grew up in a hyper liberal family, I probably also would have been brainwashed, my parents probably would have transitioned me as a child because I was a huge tomboy. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in a conservative Catholic household where that did not happen and where the basis of my values were formed. I think we all need that humility. People who were on one side and the shifted understand better the “it could have been me” but I think more people need to have that in mind when they talk with people on the opposite side. If you were raised differently, had different experiences, had different information, didn’t go through whatever it was that helped you establish your moral and political compass, you very well could have been on that other side. That doesn’t mean we excuse their evil when evil is being done (like abortion and child mutilation and grooming), but that does mean that when dealing with individuals, we see the humanity in each. It is humbling to us and also if you speak to the person and not the caricature in your mind they represent, you are more likely to be able to reach them. Just a thought.
I love y'all, but I have never heard the sentiment that not everyone needs to vote. Of course, of course, I've heard that ignorance shouldn't vote, but I always pushed for people to educate themselves before a vote. It has never occurred to me to think some people won't take the time to do the research and thus don't need to vote. I have to ponder that for a while. Still, I love y'all and appreciate what you're doing!
This is where generational political servitude happens. The parents don't talk to their kids about why they vote but instead how they vote. The only way to fix this single issue is removing all party affiliations from the ballot
The original thought was that only landowners should vote because they have a stake in the outcome. They didn't go that way, but I agree with the sentiment that the people voting should have some understanding of life.
Well, I was taught (and now teach my own children) that being informed about who is running for an office - and why - is every person's civic duty. If we each vote for what we believe is needed for our community, then the best for the most will prevail.
The problem is that these celebrities are abusing their platforms to get ignorant people to vote and not encouraging them to get informed first
I like that you’re willing to criticise Elon Musk, who seems to be an untouchable hero for the right. His baby daddy status and unwillingness to criticise the Chinese Communist Party tarnish some of the gloss for me.
Not many on the right have much respect for Musk.
He’s owned by the CCP.
He’s a trans humanist, not respect worthy.
@@07laines07 good to hear. So many commentators acted like he was the second coming of Jesus when he considered buying Twitter.
Amala, I love your podcast episodes, you're true unapologetic American patriot and keep up with the good work
Amala, I really loved what you said about people thinking it couldn’t be them. Anyone could do the most terrible things if put in certain circumstances. I’ve spent my whole life trying to understand everyone. I believe you can’t judge someone for an action or choice if you don’t know WHY they did what they did. It doesn’t justify what they’ve done… but the best prevention is awareness, and striving for understanding is the first step we ALL can take.
You sound like my parole officer.
You know what really sticks out to me for these people that talk about and see racism in literally every aspect of life, they never want to sit down and discuss how it should be fixed. Other than things like abolish the police and give reparations. I just feel like we’re not having a logical, common sense, realistic expectations type of conversation. I would like that to happen. I just feel like everything else is just complaining. Which never fixes anything.
Racism of the past created a cycle. You have to start with criminal justice. Change state laws to stop considering the sale of drugs a violent crime. Whites do just as much drugs as blacks and sale them also but the state penitentiaries are overly populated with black drug offenders. Stop over sentencing black first time offenders. All of this started with the war on drugs and still goes on today. Republican and Dem states. worse in Republican states though. especially the south. Also there is no living wage. you can work 40 hours a week and still barely be able to take care of yourself let alone a wife and kid.
All of this created a cycle. When a young black kid in the inner city walks out his door, what role models do he sees. He's broke, clothes are trash, and barely eating. He's sees the only people with anything are the criminals. So that's what he does.
People don't understand what it's like especially for a young black male.
Just an example. young white male parents gets divorced he starts acting out getting in trouble, on drugs and society will say he just needs help, some therapy or something.
Black children in the hood go through more trauma in a year than most people will ever see, but people expect them to be normal, to overcome a whole childhood of f***ed up things. Some do make it out🤷 statistically speaking it can't be 100%. then people point to that person and see if he can everyone can. Not understanding just how lucky that person was.
Look at the Criminal justice system as a start for fixing racial problems and helping black people. Understand that most are a product of their environment. An environment that was created by racism.
There's an old music video that sorta explains what I'm talking about. "When I Grow Up" artist Yellopain. it might help you understand better
there is no solution to a problem that doesn't exist
@@enolagardens Ouch! Good answer.
A massive portion of the wealth from slavery was wiped out in the civil war. Cities ruined, farms and supplies burned and lost, and all slaves set free. Land was all that was left.
The amount of people who don’t understand how culture works, makes me want to jump off a cliff…
Some of America's wealth was generated through slavery. However, most slaves in America were held by very few people. The vast majority of wealth in this country has been created since the industrial revolution, which was well after the end of slavery. To suggest that a significant portion of America's current wealth was created through slavery is, I believe, a great error.
Who is the young man that co-hosts Unapologetic? I love Amala, she is such a breath of fresh air. The guy deserves an introduction for people new to this show.

I don't owe reparations to anyone. I wasn't alive when slavery was legal, my family wasn't even in the country.
Technically with the rezzes, it's not actually government land or something, it's run by the tribes. Something like that. So there's only so much the government is allowed to do.
I don't go up to the rez as a result. I heard, at least here in AZ, they weren't distributing COVID relief funds properly either.
Of course I could be wrong on both accounts. This is just what I've heard living nearby.
As a brit please remember that ww2 started in 1939 and we and our empire stood alone. And before you say oh we did lend lease to you and kept you going, true and we payed for every single item we finished paying in 2020.
I grew up in the 90’s and early 2000’s and I remember being a young kid/teen and race played NO role in our lives. School was filled with all kinds of people and not one person cared about race. I grew up with one motto don’t be a dick. My husband is Native American and Mexican and our kids are those and white from me 16years old started dating him and at 32 are still together and I can assure you race never entered the chat until the last couple of years but now we have to teach our kids if they see something that says they’re racist cause their skin looks white is not true. It’s just crazy!
I can't take this. I'm going back to the woods and listening to Wutang.
At first, I was going to disagree with you when you said that not everyone needs to vote, but I actually think you're right. I was a college freshman back in 2015 and I was genuinely surprised by how many of my peers had no idea how government works, and many of them didn't even know what a democracy is. I had jury duty about a year and a half ago, and I was the ONLY member below the age of 35 because a lot of young people aren't even registered to vote. I think the vast majority of young American adults are either uninterested or completely brainwashed about politics. Nobody who doesn't care, or is incapable of independent thought, should be voting.
The difference between "can" and "should". You have the right and patriotic sentiment but any attempt to officially monitor the comprehension of a voter would not be democratic.
you made a great point about how black immigrants are more likely to be successful or in higher education.. it's because almost every African parent values education more than anything else. As an african immigrant myself, I'd say if you asked my parents to choose between me getting a high paying job with no education vs. a high paying job with an education, they would choose the latter no matter what. On the other hand, a lot of African American families are broken which is why there is not as much emphasis on education as there is as anything else. That's the biggest issue here.
the study that says the detransition rate was 80% was largely scrutinized and debunked and some more recent studies found an average of 8% in the us
8:06 and police brutality may have increased over the decades, but I would argue that it's not a one-sided rise.
Anti-police sentiment has also been on the rise, such that police themselves also get killed over a routine traffic stop.
And let's not forget the near daily horrors they have to witness, that people perpetrate on each other.
With all that, is it really any wonder if cops are under high tension even just for traffic stops?
Something I think the conservative side needs to work on (including myself) is nitpicking at the left's opinions just because it "sounds lefty". We are stereotyped as boring, controlling, lifeless people, and there are actually a lot of times where that is true. We start injecting our personal preferences into the framework and advertising of "our side" and it's getting old. If a girl doesn't want to shave or wear a bra, get over it. If a guy wants to paint his nails and wear makeup, who cares? If someone wants blue hair and thirty body piercings, how could possibly actually effect you? We need to let go of our preferred style of person and start getting to the root of the matter. Throwing around conservative buzzwords and promoting the style of the average forty-year- old in Appalachia (I live in Tennessee so don't come at me) is not what our argument should be riding on. We should be holding up truth and freedom and keeping the preferences out of politics.

Yesssss I've been saying the same thing! It's insane.,...I hate the pressure of voting especially since I don't follow politics nor understand much of it.,... I'm really just focused on getting my life together
If someone is only incentivized by concert tickets to vote then they shouldn’t be voting
I‘m totally with you except „America is standing for freedom in the world“ I can‘t agree with this
Quite a lot of the rich black americans in our country now benefited from their ancestors who owned slaves. And yes, there were many blacks who owned slaves too and it's been proven that many of the black slave owners were much more abusive than white slave owners. No reparations should not be paid. Welfare has been used as a form of reparations - it hasn't worked.
I would love to know where this information comes from. point me to the proof
I’m African-American and you’re wrong. Those slaves black Americans owed were their family members and it was a legal maneuver used to keep their family members from being kidnapped, sold, and physically abused.
@@Smokinjo85 there is none. Black Americans owned slaves who were their family members. It was to legally protect them from the laws that said black people could be kidnapped and sold.
I got a bad taste in my mouth for voting twice.
1st was Bush Sr and his no new taxes.
Then my 1st opportunity to vote in state elections was (wa) the governor race.
Christine Gregior (sic) vs Dino Rossi.
It was close and had 3 recounts.
The 1st 2 Rossi (rep) won the 3rd time Gregoire (dem)won. They didn't do another one.
Wa is and has been for decades a Dem state.
Most races here are lopsided and when they are close the abouve thing happens.
I'm independent and don't belive in the party system. I respect Rep more then dem but both irritate the hell out of me beacuse they have to walk a fine line or they get kicked out.
If our vote carried the ability to force our reps to adhear to what they said they would do, I would vote again.
Black people who feel they should be reparations for the past slavery in America, need to go back to the source of the slavery. First you need to identify the country within the continent of Africa that you feel attacked, imprisoned, enslaved and then sold your ancestors to other people who brought you to be slaves for them in North America, as well as other places. Secondly, you need to tell the people of that country(s) that they need to pay you reparations because of what you feel their ancestors did to your ancestors. Thirdly, you must be able to run very fast, as those people will most likely be chasing you down the street, if they don't just fall out of their seats laughing at you.
What gets me, are those that condemn slavery and says everybody who benefits from slavery are evil, when they are posting on a smart device, that has been made by slaves…………… if they don’t want to be a blatant hypocrite, don’t have anything involved in today’s slavery! Because if you don’t, YOU are benefiting from slavery………….
Please, let’s not politicize body hair 😂like WHaT? Ppl are allowed to have preferences without attaching it to an ideology.
The Grooming of young children (especially with sexual abuse) and how it happens is a video I would love to see you make Amala. Not enough people know and truly understand how insidious it is.
More importantly, I would add how parents and other adults can recognise the warning signs of sexual abuse. And how to help a child in that situation even if you aren't a social worker etc because too many social workers don't do their jobs properly, see the Grooming gangs here in the UK which are still happening!
Hey amala… have you ever heard of Blaire white? She’s super conservative trans person who shares a crap ton of the same ideas as you. Actually looks like a whole woman as well. I think it’d be genius to have a interview with her.
I saw her very first video, like a decade ago, and didn't have a clue she was trans. But I agreed with everything she said. The reveal came at the end of the video and I was shocked. That was before all her surgeries, and she had a more natural look. It was love at first sight, and then I had to slam on the brakes.
I agree. You know how many celebrities I don't watch or listen to anymore because they couldn't help themselves and keep their mouths shut on politics, countless. Celebs need to keep to the entertainment and not tell me how to live or what political views to have
It is bs because it pushes kids to vote for whoever their favorite famous people vote for. I've voted twice in my entire life. Once was when i voted against Bush 2 and I did it because of Eminem's song Mosh. Then, last election I voted because I didn't want exactly what happened to happen. I will be voting again next year, for president. I'm 40. I wasn't educated enough in the candidates or anything else and therefore i figured that I may not be the best person to contribute because I literally knew nothing
Amala just keeps getting more and more beautiful. Fantastic show tonight darling love from Liverpool ♥️🌹😘🇬🇧
I'm a Brit who can't get enough of these American conservatives too 😂
There is no indigenous race of Americans.
Scientists have found that Native American populations - from Canada to the southern tip of Chile - arose from at least three migrations, with the majority descended entirely from a single group of First American migrants that crossed over through Beringia, a land bridge between Asia and America that existed during the ice ages, more than 15,000 years ago.
Another excellent, thought provoking discussion helping me be a more informed and aware person. Thanks Amala and the Unapologetic crew.
It seems to me that criticizing their own country is a great excuse to justify things like lack of success at school, at work, bad behaviour etc. Being angry at injustices is fine when that energy is used to solve problems instead of hiding behind them.
I had to unfollow that impact account because they posted something weird demonizing women who use disposable menstrual products. I can't remember exactly because it was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure that was it.
C.S. Lewis coined “chronological snobbery” as the idea that all our present convictions are superior to convictions held in previous generations. 👍
so I am from Europe....but I don't get the idea that the blacks in America are set back because of slavery..(of course the slaves suffered a lot and this was a very unjust and cruel system - set up also by the ones how sold them to the slavetraders - this were black people in Africa)..because if they had stayed in Africa - their progeny would be in Africa now......and is there one African country where you can live free and prosper today?
Also the wealth in Europe(and I guess everywhere else in the world) was built on a kind of slavery - because there was a bondage system (it was called "Leibeigenschaft" which literals means "owning the body") nobody except noblesse could own land, the normal people just had to work on this land and give everything to the owner......they were not "free" to do anything else without consent of the land owner. As far as I know this people were beaten too, because there was no system of justice that advocated for them.
Demokraty and human rights were invented by white people btw and are not that common in African or asien countries.......
23:17 is spot on. It makes you wonder what we are doing today in our every day lives that people will look at 200 years from now and say "They were horrible people"
I have a question. When I've said the thing about not racism baked into society, i always get "intergenerational wealth" next how do you respond? Bare in mind I am new to this, but i am trying.
I’m more concerned about black Femicide, black women experiencing 3x DV, etc That is happening disproportionately right now. The locus of the problem isn’t racism or the police.
I love this country, it's the government I don't trust!!!
I appreciate what Taylor said around the 24 min mark about how if you lived in the 1800’s & your family owned slaves, you would have been ok with it just as a matter of course. That’s how things were then.
I appreciate this because I AM a descendant of slave owners not even that far back; my great grandparents were the last slave owners in our family. My grandmother grew up on the family plantation in Virginia, she had a Debutant Ball at 16, she was a member of the D.A.R., I even remember dusting her intricate wood furniture as a child & learning that it was handmade by our slaves. As a very young child, I had no feelings about this old Southern heritage, but as I grew up in CA during the 2000’s & went to liberal schools, I learned what White Guilt was & that I should be ashamed of my heritage.
Soon that became engrained in me & the more I grew into a “good liberal”, the more self-hatred I developed on that subject. Only recently in my 30’s have I left the Left, as well as my white guilt & a slew of other things I was supposed to be ashamed of as a straight, monogamous, white woman on the Far Left. The only thing I had going for me was being a woman. 😅
So anyway, thanks for saying that, Taylor. It’s absolutely true. Had I been alive in my family at that time, I would have had my own black Nan to care for me like my grandmother did & wouldn’t have thought twice about it. I can’t fault myself for that anymore, it’s unnecessarily damaging.
In Australia, we are legally compelled to vote. If we don’t vote, we get a fine, if we don’t pay the fine…we lose our driver’s license which affects a lot of our jobs. This results is people voting with lots of resentment, and they just don’t care.
So they will often vote for a party with a funny name e.g ‘The Pirate Party’ or ‘The Sex Party’ or they will just scribble on the form, or mark it 1-4 for ‘whatever’ purposes to get it over with…resulting in a ‘donkey vote’ which means they are by default contributing their vote to a main party that may not share the values they would agree with. Because it’s forced.
Australia always follows The USA’s lead with everything from fashion to ‘gay marriage’ being legalised. What you do, we do not long after. But we haven’t followed your voting system, I wish we would. It would be a more accurate representation of what we want politically.
What are your thoughts on this?
These trolls just want attention. Stop feeding the trolls.
These are the kind of people that will talk about change all day, but do nothing to make a change - not even as much as change themselves.

Honestly, I agree a 100% with Amala: just because their country did bad things in the past, doesn’t mean you should hate it (and I say “their country” because I’m not American), and I also wish good luck to those people to try and find a country that hasn’t done anything wrong in the entire existence. They’ll need it.
Also, I got so infuriated with reason number three of why you shouldn’t celebrate America because it said “U.S. killed 300,000 Vietnamese people in the Vietnam War.” This is mostly because #1: I made an exposition about this subject for my history class, and I can assure you that most of those people whom the U.S. killed were Vietnamese from South Vietnam, AKA the half that supported the communists during the war, AKA THE FREAKING ENEMY. #2: Do they seriously don’t know how a war works? The U.S. HAD to kill those people because they were the FREAKING ENEMY. I hate when people are so misinformed and then go around spreading their wrong information. 🙄🙄🙄
See Billie Elish in concert? I can nap at home for free!
I don't know where Americans get the idea that they are the only country with freedoms!
8:46 90% of the wealth in the south was destroyed by Lincoln's illegal war
ignorance is the problem
America isn't the ONLY country, however, I agree there are wayyyy worse countries out there and people should be more grateful and humble.
Love it Amala! Keep up the good work.
Amala is an inspiring figure, a very intelligent woman trying to spread a positive message to the world. Thank you Amala, you're brilliant. And that laugh you have is delightful!
anecdote : in a documentary about cleopatra a queen of egypt the actress were white. All black american commenting on that post said : whitewashing of african history. The problem is that northafrican are predominantly white and brown not black. I am northafrican i am moroccan and i m light skinned. Even though egyptiens, and north african told them that it wasn't white washing they refused to accept that cleopatra was white they even labeled me a non african and said that since i wasn t black i didn't have the right to discuss the subject. 😅 this is mindboggling for me.
It seems like they need to make it about race to feel like the world is taking something that they are intitled to take back.
This is the most interesting time to be alive though sitting around a fire still has its appeal.
I love that the US has a right to choose if they want to vote. I'm Australian and as soon as I got my P plates at 18yrs old (they passing of a driver's licence) you're automatically put onto the voting registration & if you don't go you get a $50 fine to start, then if you ignore this fine you get a $135 fine & it just keeps going up. That's exactly why I donkey vote as all our politicians are definitely corrupt in both sides IMO. Just thought I needed to educate some young Americans who have the right to not vote if they like. I wish we had that right. Honestly. Or you just can never drive a car! It's so backwards imo.
It's like when you graduate college. You get scared because you don't know what you're gonna do now. Because you may not have plans for your future. Well, now that the races are becoming more equal.... Now you have to make your own wealth. Now you have to make your own success. Now you have to go get a job. Now You have to do the things that you should do to take care of yourself. You can't rely on the government anymore. I understand the fear, but wouldn't you rather be in control of your destiny, rather than continue to feel "held down". I wouldn't want to be a victim for my whole life.
Do they get incentives for getting young people to vote? Or do they really believe what their preaching?
100% not everyone needs to vote, I am one of those people.
I don't understand politics or the economy and I am someone who sees both sides so it makes it even more confusing... That is why I don't vote
Those Japanese reperations were to the people we wronged not their ancestors. Black people would have to be a slave today to recieve reperations
People needs to blame something.
nobody looks at asian or hispanic gaps. often they say blacks in america but dont attribute most of the high wages going to asian americans.
Joel Patrick gets pulled over all the time and he has not experienced any violence at the hands of the police…Joel is African American and supports the police.
Yep don’t matter if your the richest person in the world have some COMMON SENSE 🙄🙄🙄🙄 so sad dads are so few I know mine was evil but it made me want to be a better wife and Mom why do people want to repeat the generational curses????? And I’m so sick of the word racism 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I know there are normies and patriots out there I just hope they show up!!!!!! Be careful out there in Cali!!!!
Do they not see the irony in talking about racism and then calling Natives “Indians”
It's been a long time since I voted. I've been reading up on current events. There's a lot going on. I will be casting an informed vote in the next election.
Love your passion in your videos!
I like you because you're a more thoughtful Republican and use language without disrespecting others. Unlike Candace who's been just vile and derogatory like the liberal lunatics.
You only need to vote, IF, you want to have a vote in a matter.
What this really is, group think where they know who there followers are.
What they're really saying is, If we're re going to win, you need to put in your vote (for us)
Every American should vote. It should be as easy as mailing a fucking letter.
Action speaks louder than words.
I went to that page on IG because I saw something about hula, (I am part Hawaiian). The comments on that hula post are sickening. Those people are Progressive? supposed to be the party of love and acceptance? There were a few comments of people telling Hawaiians to be grateful for the US and to shut up when people disrespect our culture. wow. Those people do not know Hawaiian history at all, because if they did, they would find out how, (in 1893), US politicians arrested the Hawaiian Queen and took over her government. But a lot of the oppression for Hawaiians started in 1810, when the missionaries arrived and immediately tore down the 'savage' culture Hawaiians had cultivated for many centuries.
Ancient Hawaiians did not read or write, they memorized everything and incorporated all their history and rituals into chant and hula. There was a comment that hula was made for political reasons. Ugh, I just cannot explain to these people how complicated Hawaiian culture and language is. Yes, ancient Hawaiians were warring with other Hawaiians and there was ancient chants and hula for war. But hula is not only about that, it is about beauty, expression, love and knowledge. I will not bother to explain to people like them though, because they don't care, they just want to push their own idea and thoughts as truth. I will enjoy my Hawaiian culture and pretend these ignorant, hateful people do not exist.
