        I am calling the presenter of this video, and the person who posted it, absolutely ignorant. Why you’ve decided to try and deflect the obviousness of that is beyond…oh. I see…WEEEELLLLP.

        Bout time for me to hit the old dusty trail…

          Is it? I asked you ‘how so’. Can you provide me a concrete example of a ‘whataboutism’, what is he ignorant about? The reason I asked that is because the quotes he uses encapsulate what the video is about. Quoted from MLK and Malcolm X.

          Wait, if it’s so obvious why can’t you explain it?

          Also, how are they deflecting if they’re asking you how they are ignorant?

    This video is another critique of democrats vs republicans and how democrats offer a lot of lip service for being inclusive, fair, liberal, etc but have very lackluster results and end up being a lighter version of their republican counterparts instead of pushing liberal agendas that they ran on.

      IDK if quoting Malcolm X makes your quote automatically correct. For example

      spoiler

      ‘[Jews] know that they control 90 percent of the businesses in black communities, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And they benefit more from black buying power than blacks do from other parts of the white community. So they feel guilty about it. … Jews can be found on the boards of such organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but, the same Jews won’t let you become president of B’nai B’rith, or any of their other organizations.’ - Malcolm X

        I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.

        MLK Jr.
