Youtube daily report w Feb 24 2018

Welcome to a new sewing video

in this video we will see how to sew the sleeve of the shirt

not how to attack it but how to prepare it

because the shirt sleeves in tailoring are prepared separately.

The so-called cross stitching is used at the factory to sew the shirts

that is, you sew the front, the back, the sleeves and then you close

instead in tailoring you prepare the shirt body and the sleeve is attached later.

When I sew a shirt, I first prepare the collar and sleeves

this because the collar and the sleeves have interfacing

in addition, the sleeve also has the placket

which requires a little more precision processing

so they are those jobs that I prefer to do at the beginning.

let's see how to cut the interfacing of the cuff

The cuff will be 21 centimetres

plus two centimetres of overlap

then 23

23 cm coincidence is just the space we have here on the interfacing fabric

you have to use it up to the last centimetre

Let's mark seven centimetres in height

and 2 centimetres of bevel.

It can be bevelled either rounded

or bevelled at an angle

I prefer to bevel it at an angle because then it is easier to sew it

there is the risk that on the curve you cannot make a straight stitching

instead making it cut diagonally the stitching we are sure that it is straight

because you do not have to accompany the sewing machine on the round edge

As we will see later in the case of the collar also in this case

we cut it along the lines of the drawing without adding centimetres for the seam

Here we have cut the interface of the cuffs

now you can move on to attack them with the iron

interfaces are a bit the pain points of the not really super professional tailoring

because some people for who I made the shirts, then complained

that the fabric then makes the bubbles

that is, the canvas washing comes off a little from the interface fabric

now I bought this heated vacuum ironing board

that should help a little bit: see how it leaves all around this sign

but in reality, to have the interfaces well attached, it takes the press;

on the board you can press the iron a little

but it is not the same thing as the press attached interface

well, you see that it comes off again

let's raise the temperature...

eh, in fact, the heat of the iron is still the most important thing to attack them

For the placket instead

to remind me how to iron it I always use one that I have unstitched from a shirt

first of all it should be folded in half...

I had to make it a little narrower because I had forgotten to cut it

let's check that it makes a nice tip

The important thing when ironing the placket is to leave the usual gap

that is, to bend the part of the bottom a little more abundant than the part above.

It is always better to iron both of them to avoid making two left plackets or two right plackets

Here we have our two plackets; in this point it will not be folded

because it will be the part that will go then under the cuff

Now let's move on to the sewing machine

as you can see, here we already have a sleeve already made and finished

we will now make the left sleeve

let's start from the cuff:

we have ironed this part

and we fix it with a seam to a centimetre

then...

let's cut this one straight

You leave a centimetre away

and you begin to sew

you sew on the edge of the interface

only slightly pinching the interface with the needle.

Now, on this long side

I pull the bottom part a little bit

you see that the part above is curling

because

otherwise the interior would curl up

in this way you will see that then working with the iron we will absorb this curl

and the inside will not be defective

it will not curl when you bend the cuff.

Now, let's cut half a centimetre

here you cut a little more

and let's move it to iron it

you turn the cuff

and let's make sure that the seam goes underneath; then from the wrong side...

we pull the seam a little so that the interfaced part of the front gets slightly rounded

here you see that having pulled the canvas is not defective here on the back

and you see also here on the front you do not see the seam

not just because it is obviously made on the other side of the fabric

but because the seam we will see in this side here of the cuff, on the inside i.e.

on the outside everything is clean.

First thing on the sleeve you will have to sew this little hem to the small side

here I had made a mistake so I sewed and unstitched for that there are seams

and then, instead, from the part where there is more fabric you put the placket

you put a pin, let's see if it is two centimetres away

because the other one I sewed it at two centimetres, so that's fine

and you sew it right to the edge

because we have a little more of it underneath

which makes the needle also take under the seam

let's make the tip

here ahead and back

and so is how it remains to the back

now you make the flat felled seam on the sleeve.

Flat felled seam means that you sew 7 millimetres apart

and you make a first stitching

I usually let stick out the part where there is more fabric

I let it match to the end

so that it remains the same length

Then

you turn the sleeve

and you put it in the arm of the machine

at this point you make the flat felled seam

the flat felled seam you'll see it better perhaps in the video where we will sew the shirt body

however, substantially, you fold it back

and you make a second stitching after the fold

there are other various ways to finish the sleeve or anyway the shirt

you can use the overlock machine: in industry they usually use the overlock

or you can put a bias tape

perhaps in women's shirt, the bias is sometimes placed on the inside of the sleeve

if perhaps it is a curled sleeve you put the bias tape

instead of doing the flat felled seam that would ruin the curl.

You must sew with patience because obviously with the sleeve there is little operating space

and then you have to lay down the fabric slowly...

The flat felled seam is perhaps the most comfortable for those who use the machines at home

with two seams you get a clean seam

without needing to bias or zig zag...

We have closed the sleeve now we just have to seam the cuff ...

Let's measure the length of the sleeve

13 and a half

let's multiply by two: they are 27

so we have to remove about 4 centimetres

then you measure 5 centimetres on this side

always to the side of the placket

you remove two centimetres

no, but I have to turn them on the other side

Then it will pop out a half centimetre that we will use as abundance.

Here we measure a distance of 3 cm

and take another two centimetres away, a little more, this way

now you close them this way

and you put the pin back on

you also close this one.

Now let's sew the cuff inside the sleeve

leaving a little bit of sleeve pointing out from the cuff

this is the one centimetre we've left

and it's one centimetre of the seam

also here we left a little bit more sleeve

you remove the pins

and you see that having left a bit more sleeve

the sleeve fills very well the cuff

even if it takes a little bit of bending it does not matter because it will not be seen so much

now you close it

and you make a topstitch

Here is our sleeve ready

we will only have to sew the rest of the shirt and attach the sleeve

I hope this video can be useful to someone

Introduction | William E. Pannell - Duration: 17:42.

The material that you're about to listen to and engage with came from our 2017 missiology lectures,

when myself, along with my colleague Johnny Ramirez Johnson said,

we need to do this next 2017 Missiology Lectures on this topic of race, theology, mission.

And we invited Dr. Love Sechrest to engage with us in that process.

We wanted to explore the challenging questions regarding racism

and ethnocentrism and xenophobia and all of those issues from the perspective of

world Christianity with regard to how these realities have existed in many

parts of the world and also as part of the colonial mission endeavours.

It is fascinating to think that the realities we were talking about are not the

experiences of one individual or even one society.

We're talking about whiteness as a way of defining the world.

And the conference and the conference presenters addressed time and again this epistemology;

this way of making meaning. It has also been described as colonization and post colonization.

The question is not about guilt it's about engagement; it's about what

are we going to do with what we have inherited. So the fact that we're having

a conversation should not point a finger at you as a listener or viewer.

But these are hard conversations the conversation about race is one that has been deferred

for so long and so often over and over again. As soon as we get close to having

a meaningful conversation about race we recoil from the pain of it. And so in our

lectures there you'll see some of that pain emerge; you'll see some people

who have long experienced racism express and again declare and name experiences

that they have had that have been deeply formative—deformative even.

So this conversation is not a pretty one, but we're having it

As observers, as listeners you will be engaging; and we invite you to invite the Holy Spirit.

The three of us pray a lot about this series. We humbly submitted it to God

and pleaded for God's mercy to lead us. We are feeble and combined we are

imperfect and we have prayed that the Lord will fill the gaps.

And the conversation is only a starter; it is in your hands; it is in your community;

it is in your family and most importantly it is on your knees.

I'm so pleased to be here and I'm glad that this occasion has taken on the tone that it has.

I have been a part of conferences on missions for more years than I can remember, here and there, now and then, and most of them eminently forgettable.

We've had our share of lows here at the seminary.

Most of the consultations on missions that we've had here at the seminary, were scarcely attractive to African American students or pastors.

It really didn't have a whole lot to do with our reality or some of the themes that were being addressed.

This one does, this is different, this has enormous potential for new beginnings.

I had thought that the theme that includes the issue of race was rather unique for us in our time

and then I remembered another use of the term at least, of which I was a part, going back to 1966.

We met in Berlin, Germany, it was a consultation on evangelization, a kind of a worldwide consultation on evangelism.

The theme was one race, one gospel and one task,

and it was kind of a who's-who of the evangelical, evangelistic world.

It was incredible, it was a who's who, a name's name, incredible gathering of folks.

Even Haile Selassie made it, yeah, really, and he sounded every bit like an evangelical.

I don't know who wrote his speech, but it was neat. Everything was nice.

In fact the whole dag-gone thing was too nice, in a way, but it was groundbreaking. It was significant. It really was significant.

Carl F. H. Henry kind of crafted the thing. Mr. Graham baptized it with his name and his presence.

It was a gala affair and it was quite serious.

One race, one gospel and one task.

There is a paragraph in the closing statement on race. I'll read just part of it to you, to give you a sense of the feel, of that event.

You'll pardon the masculinity of the language here...1966, a couple of years ago:

We reject the notion that men are unequal because of distinction of race or color.

In the name of scripture and of Jesus Christ, we condemn racialism, wherever it appears.

We ask forgiveness for our past sins and refusing to recognize the clear command of God to love our fellow men with a love that transcends every human barrier and prejudice.

We seek by God's grace to eradicate from our lives and from our witness, whatever is displeasing to Him in our relations with one another.

We extend our hands to each other in love and those same hands reach out to men everywhere with a prayer that the Prince of Peace may soon unite our sorely divided world.

That's part of the literature of the conference, it was not a part of the conference.

Most of the time and energy was spent talking about one gospel and one mission, one task.

The issue of race or racialism was not dealt with at all.

In fact, a group of African Americans decided that they would object to the absence of that conversation,

and so we cornered Colonel Henry and said, in so many nice words: What's, what's going on?

And he waffled around with it like leaders can do sometimes, as you know,

and assured us that there was a lot of goodwill, a lot of.. and that he understood it and...kinda stuff,

and so we just kept pushing the guy to see: Can't you craft a statement, can't you wake, can't you get this on the agenda?

And then he did what a lot of white folks sometimes do when black folks get angry.

This is what (present company excluded of course), what he did, was to assign the task to the black folks that were there.

It's your problem, you solve it, alright.

So we said okay, so, a group of guys were there, there weren't any women. Massey, I think Howard Jones.

A nice group of guys, representing some serious evangelistic ministry, including the Graham Association, got together and spent half the night trying to craft some kind of a statement that we thought would give integrity to the theme itself: one race and so forth.

It was a nice statement. I have no idea what happened to it.

It was, one of those things that got lost.

It's probably somewhere in the file, somebody's evangelistic missional archive.

The theme that we're working on this week here, that we together are working on, it's a large and terribly crucial and important theme.

Somewhere between our first cup of coffee and the slice of toast this morning, my wife said:

Is it true that we are more aware of what's going on in the world? Is the world really that worse off now than it was then, or do we just have better communication?

I scarcely knew how to answer. We do have better communication,

but we are not really doing too well in the world, getting together that is, which by the way, is the key issue of our time.

It was uttered most graphically by a black guy that got beat by some white cops in Los Angeles,

and when he regained consciousness and some kind of coherence and tried to figure out what in the world he could say about the way he was treated,

he did ask the question, you recall it: Can't we just get along?

That question is no longer, no longer pigeon-holed in Los Angeles.

That's the global issue, that's THE global issue today.

Does it have nothing to do with what we call missions or a missional task, that has nothing to do with the gospel?

Does that question have nothing to do with what we might think of as evangelical?

Do we go to sleep on this thing again or what?

Well, excuse me, the other day I got old, you, yeah yeah...grace.

I've come to this conclusion, if you live long enough, you get old, yeah.

And two years this side of 90, can you dig that? It's crazy, isn't it?

And you say how in the world and what in the world's an old guy like you doing in a place like this, and I say, I don't know.

Let me situate this question again...let me see if I can suggest that there is a connection between one race, one gospel, one task, 1966,

and today, I'm going to flirt with this connection.

When we got off the plane in Berlin, somewhere between the plane and luggage, we were met by a German woman, the "we," being the black guys.

Once you hear her question, you'll understand why she sought us out,

Jones, Massey, Lewis Johnson, pastor of the baptist church in Detroit, a good group, Bob Harrison, about eight of us,

she looked at us trying to figure out which one she should address, and finally she just said this:

Is, is Dr. King on board?

Now we're trying to figure out in an instant which one of us is going to answer that question.

I'm not sure who did, I think it was Massey.

No, he's not...no he wasn't on board.

Then she says, but he'll surely be here, won't he?

Uh, probably not.

Now it's been several years since 1966 and I have felt for a long time that I still owe that woman an answer to her question.

Why then, nor now, has Martin Luther King Jr. not been on the agenda?

Why has he not been invited?

Why do we not make room for that man?

Of course, it's understandable why he wasn't in Berlin, he was in Cicero, you know Cicero, right next to Wheaton, you know Cicero, just down the road from Chicago,

trying to figure out how to bring the kingdom of God in some form to the city of Chicago,

trying to figure out how to marry justice and reconciliation, and to do it nonviolently.

The Jesus way, he said.

Now, I do not know whether Mr. King was invited to Berlin or not, perhaps if he was, he couldn't make it.

We still have to ask ourselves the question though, as members of the body of Christ,

of people who are deeply committed to the gospel, who considered to be mastered by Jesus himself, who follow in his train:

What are we going to do, in our time, with this question of race and gospel?

That's what makes this gathering so important.

This is not a large gathering, there probably won't be more than 6 zillion people listening in.

It's not important how many, it's how well.

It's not about numbers, it's about influence.

We always thought at Fuller, that we might not be many, we hope we are much, but at least we would be influential.

On this question, in so many ways, we've dropped the ball and I've been here for almost all of that, more conferences than I care to remember.

This is an issue we still don't...we don't know whether to spit or whittle on this one, so we need all the help we could get.

We got some real help. We got some real champions on this thing.

We've got some serious folks here who are doing some serious work on this thing, and on the implications of this throughout the world.

The integrity of the body of Christ is seriously at stake in our time, as probably never before.

If Pentecost really means anything today, it really needs to mean something today.

It needs desperately to pulse relevance to every condition of the human race.

General Mattis Orders Pentagon To Cut All Soldiers Who Don't Meet New Requirement - Duration: 2:41.

General Mattis Orders Pentagon To Cut All Soldiers Who Don't Meet New Requirement

James Mattis is a leader who puts America before politics.

America hasn't had a Secretary of Defense like that in a long time.

The Pentagon is taking its job seriously under his direction.

That means holding our troops to a high standard.

If they are not ready to fight when called on, then they shouldn't be serving.

So Mattis has instituted a strict new rule.

Itt's going to have a huge effect on the military as a whole.From PJ Media:

Defense Secretary James Mattis said the new Pentagon policy that will remove service members

who have not been deployable for a year or more is about fairly sharing the burden within

the forces…

In other words, if you're not being deployed, you're not in the military.

En route to Washington on Saturday, Mattis told reporters that there is a "higher expectation

of deployability by our forces" and the policy isn't "to make change for change's

sake," as he vowed when coming into the department…

Mattis noted that if there are 100,000 troops and 10 percent are not deployable, "then

90,000 deploy more often, obviously to meet the same deployment standard — so that's

unfair."

With a lopsided deployment burden, he added, "If you can't keep the family together,

then you're either going to lose the family or you're going to lose the soldiers, and

that's a net loss for our society and for our military."

It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

There are numerous service people who are on the military's payroll—but they're

not serving!

Imagine having a staff that gets paid, but does not work.

How long will that work out for an office or company?

Not very long.

Under Mattis, our military is meant to be as lethal and effective as possible.

It's about men and women who work hard to keep us safe.

The military is not a nursery school for entitled children to collect a paycheck.

Make no mistake, liberals will complain about this move.

They will make excuses for service people who refuse to work, but still want to be on

the payroll.

Yet, as always, it's a front to drain America of its resources and strength.

Thanks to Mattis, our military is formidable again.

We are seeing victories around the world once thought impossible.

This latest move is only about improving our Armed Forces and ensuring our troops are pulling

their weight.

The Dark Side Of Harajuku Style You Haven't Seen Yet | Style Out There | Refinery29 - Duration: 12:13.

This is so cute but what does it say?

I want to die.

I want to die?

Oh.

While I'd never been afraid to take a few risks in the name of fashion,

there's a new style popping up in Tokyo that's, frankly, a little scary.

In Japan, conformity and rigidity inform everything,

from social customs, to the way people dress.

Standing out is not exactly something

everyone strives for.

Here on Takeshita Street,

style is defined by defying norms.

But a new look is challenging one of Japan's deepest taboos:

depression and mental illness.

The style is called Yami Kawaii and it means "sick cute".

Can fashion break the silence that surrounds an epidemic?

My first question:

What exactly is Yami Kawaii?

What does it look like?

To find out, I tracked down Kuua,

an artist and influencer with over 56,000 followers

on Instagram.

"Kawaii" is the Japanese word for "cute."

"Yume Kawaii" means "cute like a dream."

"Yami Kawaii," is what happens when "Yume" goes dark.

Is that a fan?

Did she just recognize you?

Oh, that's so fun!

Fans are drawn to Yami Kawaii.

But honestly, I just don't get it.

To better understand the appeal

I'm going to visit a pioneer of the look,

an artist named Bisuko.

But then it says, "I love you."

Kill you?

Okay.

Changing your mind a lot.

That's Yami Kawaii.

Can you tell me who this is?

Meet Menhera-chan, the Yami Kawaii heroine

of Bisuko's comic.

She gets her name form Menhera,

a term that refers to people who suffer from mental illness.

To understand why this is a look someone would want

to project, I decided to try the clothes on for myself.

I need a jacket and then I need bottoms.

This one?

How's that?

Kawaii?

A jacket?

What makes this one Yami Kawaii?

I think I'm getting it now.

Accessories?

Okay!

Kawaii!

I'll go try it on?

As I put on my Yami Kawaii outfit,

I really notice the dark details among all the pastels,

the bandages around the girl's wrists,

the droplet hanging off the syringe.

I don't feel Kawaii.

I feel uncomfortable.

Is this Kawaii?

For some, this look is empowering.

But why?

Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

Even talking about mental illness and depression

is considered taboo.

So what is Bisuko trying to say?

Is there something deeper going on?

Oh my god.

There's so much pink Kawaii!

It's such an interesting mix of sweetness

and pink and then this is terrifying.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah, that's probably the most Yami Kawaii.

I mean, when you see it, does it remind you about

those who have died by noose or is

it just, again, decoration.

Yami Kawaii is fashion,

but it's also a coping mechanism for complex emotions.

I wanted to know if other people were using fashion

in the same way.

Hanayo, a former teenage model,

might have some insight.

She was once a finalist in the nationwide Miss iD

competition, an alternative beauty

pageant that celebrates differences.

Until she was disqualified

for discussing her suicidal past.

What do you feel when you come here?

It's nice to meet you.

Did you say you had multiple attempts?

Her openness won her fans on social media

and has won her a new kind of support system.

Do you feel like there are a lot of people

who feel the same way that you do?

She uses social media to create a community,

where she feels free to talk about her art,

her clothes and her raw emotions.

You have a lot of pink.

Do you dress to make yourself happy

or do you dress to make other people happy?

This, amazing.

Sex Suicide Baby.

Yeah.

It feels bad to hide who you are, right?

What's one thing that you want people to know

when they hear your story?

Hanayo sees cute clothes as a form of therapy.

Maybe, that feeling isn't an accident.

Joshua Paul Dale is a professor

who specializes in the impact of Kawaii culture.

"Cute" can mean "clever" in English,

so we can look at somebody and say,

"oh, that's cute", or "don't be cute."

But Kawaii in Japan doesn't have that negative connotation to it.

It's simply a pure, happy feeling of cuteness.

So instead of, "You look Kawaii,"

it's like, "I feel Kawaii because of how you are."

Yeah.

When you express Kawaii,

you are expressing a desire to appeal to other people,

to get closer to other people,

and expressing a desire for healing.

So maybe that can help people with those dark and more difficult issues that can't be

openly expressed in Japanese society.

Talking openly about painful experiences

feels better than keeping it in.

When you talk, powerful things can happen.

I see now that Yami Kawaii can help people heal,

people like Bisuko's number one fan.

So I came to Tokyo expecting to learn something about this new style of subculture.

What I really didn't expect to learn

is something about love.

You know, in the United States, asking for love

isn't really a thing we're very comfortable

with doing but in Japan, it's pervasive.

It's normalized. It's Kawaii.

And especially when you have a hard time practicing self-love, asking for love is a really, really

brave act and that's what Yami Kawaii is at the end of the day.

And that's pretty rad.

Recent Discoveries That Proved We Got History All Wrong - Duration: 5:08.

The trouble with history is that people are terrible eyewitnesses.

And before humans developed a written language, centuries of moments were lost in time.

But every now and then some new, tantalizing details emerge from archaeological record,

a previously neglected document, or even from someone's DNA.

And sometimes those details are so surprising, they completely change our understanding of

history.

All in the DNA

Genetically modern people sometimes mixed with Neanderthals, and since genetically modern

people were probably also responsible for the eventual genocide of the Neanderthals,

such liaisons were probably the caveman equivalent of Montagues and Capulets, only hairier.

But new evidence suggests that intermixing of different human species was not just confined

to Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.

According to recent discoveries, there were multiple species of hominids living on planet

Earth at the same time.

It's starting to become clear that intermingling of species was far from just the occasional

secret affair between star-crossed lovers — it happened so frequently that it's possible

that you personally owe your jawline, sense of smell, or preference for hanging out in

caves to an ancient, almost-human ancestor.

Coming to America

The idea that the first Americans crossed the Bering land bridge, also called Beringia,

is beloved in grade school history classes, but there's new evidence that it's probably

not true.

A study published in 2016 pointed out that during the time of the first crossing, Beringia

didn't have the resources needed to support a large population of migrants.

Animals and plants didn't start making homes in Beringia until around 12,600 years ago,

and the supposed first crossing was more than 1,000 years before that.

Instead, it is likely that the first migrants crossed into the Americas by traveling along

the now-submerged Pacific coastline.

"You keep that in mind.

The moment you think you got it figured, you're wrong."

Lady vikings

If you're a fan of Vikings on the History Channel, you'll probably find this information

to be about as obvious as it gets because duh, everyone knows shield maidens were a

thing, and Lagertha could totally kick your butt, by the way.

In the 1880s, the skeleton of a Viking warrior was unearthed in Sweden, and everyone just

assumed the skeleton belonged to a man, mostly because Xena: Warrior Princess wouldn't reach

the airwaves for more than a century.

The warrior, who was buried with weapons, shields, and two horses, helped historians

imagine what the quintessential Viking warrior might be like, except for the part where he...

was a she.

The skeleton remained incorrectly gendered until recently, when an osteologist noticed

the fine cheekbones and "feminine hip bones" and decided to do a DNA analysis.

What they discovered will not surprise Vikings fans, but as far as most everyone else's understanding

of Viking culture is concerned, it's right up there with Vikings not wearing horned helmets.

The wooden teeth that weren't

The composition of George Washington's dentures isn't exactly the sort of historical detail

that brings down regimes or rewrites entire textbooks, but like the cherry tree he never

chopped down, it's a myth so beloved that it seems immune to logic.

George Washington did not have wooden teeth, though it's possible that as he aged his dentures

became so disgusting that they looked like they were made out of wood.

Researchers decided to settle the argument by subjecting a set of Washington's surviving

dentures to a series of laser scans.

At long last, the answer: Washington's teeth were made out of ivory, gold, lead, and actual

teeth, some of which were human and some of which were animal.

Now one wonders why they weren't all ivory, all gold, or all donkey, but we may never

know.

"That don't make no sense!"

King Tut's death

Egyptian kings, ancient curses, buried treasure — the story of King Tut has everything … except

murder.

The thing about the boy king is that he's famous because he was buried with a buttload

of treasure and no grave robbers were ever clever enough to figure out where it was,

until 1922 when some British guy helped break in and subsequently died from a mummy-cursed

mosquito bite.

Because he died so young, some people thought Tut must have been murdered — theories ranged

from a blow to the back of the head courtesy of a political rival, to poison.

Then researchers rained on everyone's murder mystery parade with DNA tests and CT scans,

which revealed that the king suffered from severe malaria and an infected, broken leg.

And the poor kid wasn't just sick, he also had a cleft palate and a club foot, which

were inherited conditions — the genetic testing also revealed that his parents were

brother and sister.

So the real story here is not how King Tut died, but that he was a Targaryen, or possibly

one of Cersei's kids.

"We don't choose whom we love."

The Clovis got crafty

The Clovis people were some of the first migrants to reach the Americas, somewhere around 13,000

years ago.

The culture was short-lived — a couple hundred years after they arrived, their characteristic

spear-points disappeared from the fossil record, which seemed to indicate that the Clovis people

also disappeared from planet Earth.

Why?

A 2006 theory suggested that a comet had struck the Earth, which caused wildfires and mass

extinction, and that included the Clovis.

But in 2011 a pair of archaeologists called foul on the theory, citing a lack of extraterrestrial

particles at many Clovis sites and no indication whatsoever that the population of North America

declined around that time.

The new theory is simple: The Clovis people just stopped making that particular sort of

spear point and came up with a new design, never really going anywhere.

New spear, who dis?

Total War: ARENA – The Passage of Augustus Map Spotlight - Duration: 1:25.

The Great St Bernard Pass in the Alps was strategically vital to the Romans.

Emperor Augustus knew that Gaul wasn't going to remain an ally of Rome

if he could not defend Gaul's borders.

It was with this knowledge that he sent troops

to secure the Great St Bernard Pass.

Passage of Augustus introduces an entirely new kind of map gameplay

to Total War: ARENA, playing almost like a 'king of the hill' mode.

Both teams spawn behind their bases

and must initially rush to gain control of it.

These bases are linked by a narrow pass that will be heavily fought over.

As both teams will try to use this shortcut,

using and countering ranged and heavy infantry units

will be vital to ensuring control.

There is a secondary route though.

It is a slightly longer one, but the fighting here will be intense too

as it is a direct path into the base.

While these battles are going on,

cavalry and light infantry skirmishes will be taking place all over the map,

fighting for watchtowers and control.

Control the central village and the narrow pass,

and you will overwhelm the enemy base.

Fail to protect your flank, however,

and you may find yourself trapped in a narrow alley with no escape.

"But nullification isn't listed in the Constitution!" - Duration: 1:56.

Nullification isn't specifically listed in the

Constitution. But that doesn't mean you can't do it.

Every once in awhile, someone tells us,

"The Constitution doesn't say anything about nullification.

That means states simply can't do it."

But they've got things totally backwards.

It's true that the federal government has limited

powers and is only authorized to do the things

delegated to it in the Constitution.

As James Madison put it in Federalist #45,

"the powers delegated by the proposed constitution

to the federal government are few and defined."

If a power isn't delegated, the federal government

simply is not authorized to do it.

On the other hand, states have reserved powers.

As Madison put it, "Those [powers] which are to

remain in the State governments

are numerous and indefinite."

Of course, states don't have unlimited power either.

Their individual constitutions limit what they can

and cannot do.

But when it comes to the U.S. Constitution there

are very few limits on state authority.

So, what does the Constitution prohibit

the states from doing?

Well, you can find most of those restrictions in

Article 1 Section 10.

Along with these, there are a few others scattered

throughout the document.

You'll notice it's not a very long list. And it

does not include nullification.

Letters to an Asexual #55 (Mocking Asexuality) - Duration: 22:04.

Hey folks, it's swankivy and I'm here with another Letters to an Asexual.

This is number 55.

And um, here I am in my uh, fireplace room.

And uh, I think I made one other video in here before, but, I kinda like this room for

videos but the lighting is really weird, so, sorry if it looks strange.

Today's letter is going to be a letter that was not written to me but it did mention me,

actually it just, it mentions my book.

Uh, and it is a few years old, I believe the information I have here says it's from 2014.

But I was rereading it recently.

I had saved it to my computer and I decided this is something I wanted to talk about.

Um, so this was kind of an article-slash-uh-attack piece in a funny way of phrasing, like he

tried to act like it wasn't really an attack on asexuality because it was all humorous,

but to me it wasn't too humorous, and uh, I will explain to you why, um, you may have

seen this back when it came out in 2014.

It was published in Taki's Magazine.

Uh, I don't know if you're familiar with that publication.

I was not really, but uh, you know, other people were saying that this is very typical

for that author.

And he published an article called "Asexuality: It's not just for plants anymore."

Hilarious.

So first I will read you what he wrote, and try not to interject my commentary.

And then I'll go back through it and kind of skim it and read some of the parts that

I wanna talk about, and I'll give you a little summary at the end about why this kind of

thing, even if it's funny, it's, uh, not funny to us and can actually do damage.

So, okay, here's what he wrote.

"Asexuality.

It's not just for plants anymore.

Nay, it is now a designated sexual identity for humans who aren't horny.

But it is much more than merely an individual identity.

Because the Internet makes everything exasperatingly social, asexual individuals now also comprise

a community.

Even more aggravating-- aggravatingly, asexuality is a movement.

It's a moving community.

It's a community that's moving around, not having sex.

It is a living, breathing, moving community of sexually disinterested individuals whose

lack of shared attraction acts like a magnet drawing them all together under the same limp,

dry umbrella.

Members of the asexual movement are quick to distinguish themselves from celibates.

The latter, they argue, are innately horny yet restrain themselves from acting upon their

carnal impulses.

Asexuals, however, simply aren't interested in sex.

Whether that qualifies as a sexual orientation or a sexual disorientation is anyone's guess.

Asexual activists—yes, they exist, and c'mon, if they're not having sex they have to be

active doing something—successfully agitated the American Psychiatric Association to designate

asexuality as a legitimate identity rather than a medical or psychological dysfunction

in the latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

They have also gone to great pains to buttress and legitimize their abject absence of libidinousness

and concupiscence with scholarly works such as 1977's pioneering paper 'Asexual and

Autoerotic Women: Two Invisible Groups' and 2008's 'Coming to an Asexual Identity: Negotiating

Identity, Negotiating Desire.'

This month saw the release of a full-length book called The Invisible Orientation: An

Introduction to Asexuality, which will surely become the Mein Kampf of the chronically un-aroused.

The asexual community boasts an absurdly vast pool of resources for individuals who wish

to bond and network with the sexually disinclined.

This past June saw the second annual International Asexuality Conference in Toronto.

Asexual Awareness Week is coming in late October.

There are even asexual dating sites.

And Tumblr—which is ground zero for sexual insanity on the Web, the crossroads where

sexual deviancy and social-justice platitudes converge in one gooey rainbow-colored train

wreck—is a comic gold mine for hysterical asexual sloganeering.

By far the most prominent organization that propagates and disseminates asexual 'awareness'

is the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), which was founded in 2001 and hosts

a website that answers Frequently Asked Questions and a forum with over two million posts by

people who'd much prefer to shove cake in their mouths than someone else's genitals.

AVEN even designed an asexual logo—an upside-down triangle with purple piping that tastefully

encases a white-to-black gradient.

Like any community, asexuals have developed their own language.

I've considerately decoded much of the arcane terminology they employ to denote the vast

'asexual spectrum': ACE…shorthand for 'asexual.'

ACEVAGUE…someone who may be asexual as a result of being autistic.

ALLOSEXUAL…those who aren't asexual, otherwise known as 'normal people.'

AROMANTIC…those who don't desire romance, either.

AROVAGUE…someone who may be aromantic as a result of being autistic.

BIROMANTIC…those who desire romantic (but not sexual) relationships with either gender.

CUPIOSEXUAL…an asexual who wishes they were an allosexual.

DEMISEXUAL…an asexual who is able to muster sexual attraction only after first forming

a romantic bond with someone.

GREYSEXUAL…someone who inhabits a space somewhere along the vast spectrum between

asexuals and allosexuals.

PAN-HOMOROMANTIC POLYAMOROUS GREY-ASEXUAL GENDERQUEER…the highly specific sexual self-identifier

of the logo designer.

REPULSED ASEXUAL…someone who is actively disgusted at the very idea of having sexual

contact with someone else.

SQUISH…the platonic form of a romantic crush.

Well, if that list didn't kill your sex drive, I'm not sure what will.

Still, the asexual movement presses forward, fired up by its inability to get turned on.

Once someone has 'come out' as asexual, these sexually inactive activists tend to do what

members of every other allegedly 'oppressed' special-interest identity group does: They

lecture people.

DO NOT call them frigid.

DO NOT call them repressed.

DO NOT call them crazy.

DO NOT assume they were molested.

DO NOT suggest they have a hormonal imbalance.

And DO NOT insinuate that they merely haven't met someone who knows how to properly 'deliver

the groceries.'

Hilariously—because intersectional squabbling among self-designated victim groups is always

hilarious—asexuals have tried noodling their way into the so-called LGBT movement, only

to be rebuffed by many homosexuals, bisexuals, and transsexuals who scoff at the idea that

asexuality is a sexual orientation.

Many traditional 'queers' get their assless leather chaps chafed at asexuals who try to

claim the term 'queer' for themselves, arguing that 'queer' denotes non-hetero manifestations

of human sexuality—emphasis on the 'sexuality.'

Ironically, the asexuals—who refuse to take it in any hole—wind up getting it from all

sides."

Hohoho.

So now I'm gonna go back through it and see if I can pick out the parts that I wanna discuss.

Let's see.

All right.

"It is now a designated sexual identity for humans who aren't horny."

Funny how someone who mocked our need for definitions still isn't getting that right.

"Because the Internet makes everything exasperatingly social, asexual individuals now also comprise

a community."

Translation: It's absurd for people who feel isolated in their everyday lives to form online

communities and, uh, discuss common experiences they've had, right?

"Drawing them all together under the same limp, dry umbrella."

Haha!

Rimshot!

We're not having sex, therefore we're boring and prudish and that's the central facet of

what we're organizing about here.

Let's see.

Okay.

"Asexual activists—c'mon, if they're not having sex they have to be active doing

something."

Because if you're not having sex, there's nothing else to do and no meaning at all in

your life, of course, that's how it works.

So you have to desperately claw at meaning and try to squeeze some kind of meaning out

of your organization surrounding asexuality and ya know, fill the void in your pathetic

life!

So, okay.

I'm pretty familiar people who come onto, like, my channel or you know, quote me somewhere

else to talk about me, and try to say like, asexuality activism is the only thing I do

and it's my whole life and they're saying that based on specifically looking at my theme

channel, or my book, or the asexuality-specific things I've done on blogs.

And I'm thinking, how are you getting the idea that you're gonna see diverse content

in a place that you went specifically to see the asexuality content?

I mean, if you had, if they had any idea, like, how mind-blowingly diverse the things

that I do, even just stuff that I do online, not even stuff that I'm not documenting, like

how many different things I do.

Like, I like to think that they wouldn't claim this is the only thing that I do, but it's

just, it's really funny to me how consistently they will look at, like, a specific slice

of my online presence and then claim that that's the only thing that I do.

Um, and also, like, it's, it's really frustrating when they think it's silly for us to want

to talk about these things, like, that even if that was the only thing that I was doing,

or the major thing that I was doing, or did actually occupy most of my time and attention,

like, helping other people with, like, difficulties surrounding a major aspect of social interaction

in how we communicate in our society?

That's not a useless goal.

So even if it was all I did, it wouldn't be pointless or pathetic.

So, yeah, that's really funny to me.

Okay.

"They successfully agitated the American Psychiatric Association to designate asexuality as a legitimate

identity rather than a medical or psychological dysfunction."

It's hard to tell if, like, he's kinda mocking us there, it seems like, just, the way that

it's framed, he's playing us as if we're a bunch of busybodies, like, quibbling about

something that doesn't really need discussion.

But, you know, like other detractors are always, like, yammering at us about how we don't experience

institutional oppression and, you know, therefore have no business joining forces with other

queer groups and other marginalized sexualities.

Um, but you know, like, thanks to the efforts of the people who did petition those in charge

of making those changes, like, we're not actively considered a disorder by the book that tells

psychologists what is a disorder and what the symptoms are.

So, like, that's not a ridiculous thing for us to have done.

Okay.

Mmm.

I don't wanna talk about this one but I will.

"The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality, which will surely become the

Mein Kampf of the chronically un-aroused."

As if publishing something to increase understanding is in any way comparable to a manifesto by

the world's most famous bigot, where he describes how he incorporated hatred into his politics.

I mean, and he called it a struggle.

Not to mention as a Jewish creator, um, I don't even have words for how disgusting it

is to compare MY BOOK to the writing of HITLER.

Okay.

All right.

Going on.

"And Tumblr—which is ground zero for sexual insanity on the Web, the crossroads where

sexual deviancy and social-justice platitudes converge in one gooey rainbow-colored train

wreck—is a comic gold mine for hysterical asexual sloganeering."

Okay, like, I get that people like to mock Tumblr because it's a young population and

it has a certain culture.

But again, framing our conversations as inherently hilarious is just really shitty.

"Asexuals have developed their own language.

I've considerately decoded much of the arcane terminology."

No, you misrepresented most of our terms and pretended what's funny about your version

is our fault.

"ACEVAGUE…someone who may be asexual as a result of being autistic."

No, I've actually heard this one used by people who want to suggest that they believe their

asexuality is kind of a function of their neurodivergence.

But you know, this guy is using it as an excuse to take potshots at autistic people, because

autistic people are still an acceptable target.

Awesome.

"ALLOSEXUAL…those who aren't asexual, otherwise known as 'normal people.'"

Okay, if you don't understand why "normal people" as a term for the majority is not

acceptable, um, I'm gonna need another time slot to make a video about that.

That would need a whole separate lecture.

Buh buh buh, a few of these are actually not attempting to make a joke out of the definition,

a few of them are wrong but not necessarily in a deliberately gross way.

It's hard to tell sometimes.

Huh.

"Well, if that list didn't kill your sex drive, I'm not sure what will."

Pfft shut up.

"Still, the asexual movement presses forward, fired up by its inabil--inability to get turned

on."

You know, this kind of misrepresentation is frigging everywhere.

Like, that we're organizing about, like, the lack of anything happening in our pants, like,

that that's what we're organizing around.

And it's like, they suggest oh well, there's nothing to organize about if that's what,

you know, it's literally nothing, ho ho ho.

But like, let's say, okay, you're out there protesting against, like, extreme inequalities

that affect you as a low-income person, and like, you're trying to get mainstream attention

for, like, the special difficulties you face because you're in that situation, and then

like, some dipshit rolls on in there, and spotlights your footage on their crappy show

and like, describes it, ho ho, chortling all the way, like "These people made an identity

out of being broke, lol."

And it's like NO, THEY DIDN'T make an identity out of being broke.

THEY CREATED A FORUM TO SHOW YOU, like, all the problems that they're facing and access

solidarity, maybe, through that.

And like, the fact that you have to misrepresent their cause before you can laugh at it should

probably tell you something about whether you should really be laughing at that.

"These sexually inactive activists tend to do what members of every other allegedly 'oppressed'

special-interest identity group does: They lecture people."

Okay, so yeah, make it seem like nobody needs our messages and all of our discussions are,

you know inherently worthless.

But you know, as evidenced by that list that you offered of the supposed definitions and

lecture topics that we could use, this is like, obviously still pretty necessary because,

like, you're not listening.

"Intersectional squabbling among self-designated victim groups is always hilarious."

That is just a really gross sentence.

"Many traditional 'queers' get their assless leather chaps chafed at asexuals who try to

claim the term 'queer' for themselves."

Yeah, make fun of queer people in general and misrepresent their whole community as

if they don't accept us.

Okay, so, I think that's all I'm gonna talk about with like, specific examples pulled

out of the article, but like, some people have said that article's, like, it's harmless

because like it's just snark or it's really the, the problem is us not finding it funny

and not understanding that it's SATIRE.

But the problem with that is that for something to work as satire, the audience, by and large,

has to understand that it's an exaggeration or it's a reversal.

Like, they have to, they have to understand the basics of what you're even talking about

and some of what he said was identical to the things that actual detractors say to us,

so it doesn't work as satire.

Let me tick off some things that they're doing here.

They're misrepresenting us not understanding biology.

Um, they're laughing at us for wanting to organize.

They're mocking our efforts to legitimize our orientation through stuff like talking

to the DSM, um, they shame us with, like, digs about how we have nothing meaningful

in our lives if we're not having sex or our relationships don't look enough like theirs,

and they're spreading misinformation about our ways of talking to each other, um, and

the thing is, they're also using bigger stages than we generally have in our community, like,

occasionally one of us will get on a show or in a documentary or something, but by and

large they have access to bigger megaphones than we do, and they're, they're using those

big stages to say these things, so like, they're teaching that mainstream audience that it's

okay to laugh at us, that it's okay to mock us, that these are the memorable aspects of

us as individuals and us as a community.

And you know, painting us as if we're some kind of fad that came out of Tumblr that's

obsessed with victim mentality, it's like, that still, that damages us even if you're

kidding.

Because there is no way you can still say those things and frame them humorously but

not still make people think that that's what we're about.

And we still don't have the countering mainstream perspectives to make that kinda thing okay.

So like, that's really why I think it's not funny, and you know, I mean, you might chuckle

at one or two things from that because you might've seen it, but the, the overall message

of it felt like we were the joke.

He wasn't making a joke.

We were the joke.

So um, that's kinda my perspective on why that sort of thing was not okay, still is

not okay four years later, and um, you know, I recommend that if anybody is trying to write

satire about asexuality, uh, they might wanna consider you know, whether they're gonna have

a negative impact on us.

Um, so, that's what I have to say about that, and if you will excuse me, I've got a whole

entire life that I have to go to that only involves writing about asexuality and blogging

about asexuality and going out to march in a pride parade carrying the asexual flag,

and like, see if I can find some new ways to be obsessed with asexuality and do nothing

else, so I mean, like all good asexual activists, I've got some lecturing to do.

So I'll see you guys next time.

Q & A on the Decentering of Whiteness | Andrew T. Draper and Erin Dufault-Hunter - Duration: 19:05.

The material that you're about to listen to and engage with came from our 2017 missiology lectures,

when myself, along with my colleague, Johnny Ramirez Johnson, said

we need to do this next 2017 Missiology Lectures on this topic of race, theology, and mission.

And we invited Dr. Love Sechrest to engage with us in that process.

We wanted to explore the challenging questions regarding racism

and ethnocentrism and xenophobia and all of those issues from the perspective of

world Christianity with regard to how these realities have existed in many parts of the world

and also as part of the colonial mission endeavors.

It is fascinating to think that the realities we were talking about are not the

experiences of one individual or even one society.

We're talking about whiteness as a way of defining the world.

And the conference and the conference presenters addressed time and again this epistemology;

this way of making meaning. It has also been described as colonization and post colonization.

The question is not about guilt; it's about engagement; it's about what

are we going to do with what we have inherited. So the fact that we're having

a conversation should not point a finger at you as a listener or viewer.

But these are hard conversations the conversation about race is one that has been deferred

for so long and so often over and over again. As soon as we get close to having

a meaningful conversation about race we recoil from the pain of it.

And so in our lectures there you'll see some of that pain emerge; you'll see some people

who have long experienced racism express and declare and name experiences

that they have had that have been deeply formative, de-formative even.

So this conversation is not a pretty one, but we're having it.

As observers, as listeners you will be engaging, and we invite you to invite the Holy Spirit.

The three of us pray a lot about this series. We humbly submitted it to God

and pleaded for God's mercy to lead us. We are feeble and combined we are

imperfect and we have prayed that the Lord will fill the gaps.

And the conversation is only a starter; it is in your hands; it is in your community;

it is in your family and most importantly, it is on your knees.

Andrew, I want to give you the opportunity to comment on the response that you got from Erin.

Yes, that...

It was me.

Very artistically done, nicely put together, thoughtful.

The piece of the puzzle that hit home for me at a very visceral level was the piece of it where the demon is saying:

If you can entrench white folks in a sort of circularity of self, they will be moved out of connection to the love of the enemy, who in this case would be the Father.

And there is something beautiful about recognizing that you are simply human, that allows you to accept grace as an extreme gift, to be a dog at the table, to get the crumbs.

You know kinda of, I don't care what you call me Jesus, so as long as you call me.

So I thought that was really special, really powerful, really nicely put together so, thank you so much.

Well I've gotten a few questions here and they're really all over the map so I don't have an opportunity to kind of describe themes.

Here's one that seems to key off of the title: If the end of mission is the decentering of whiteness, wouldn't that also be the end of Christianity?

(off microphone) Say that again?

If the end of mission, right that's the title, if the end of mission is the decentering of whiteness wouldn't that also be the end of Christianity?

I'm misunderstanding whether the question is asking if Christianity would be ended by whiteness being decentered or if mission is it,

so in other words, number one, mission was in quotation marks in the title so I'm not by any means suggesting that Christians do not have...

That's just the text...let me um, yea...

I'm sorry...

Those quotes were not on your title.

Oh the quotation marks weren't on it.

Let me, you know what, Andrew, let me read more of the question because that might help, I think:

If whiteness is genealogically rooted in Christian supersessionism, it would seem that to truly discentral whiteness would require a negation of Christianity at least in its materially existing form,

so tearing down the idol is good but what ends does that serve if the idol producing factory remains intact?

And here's the end that was probably the most helpful thing,

perhaps we need the Jews to truly show us how to decentral mission.

That's good, that's where I would recommend Mark Kinzer's book and my conversations with him about bilateral ecclesiology in solidarity with Israel.

In other words that if we encourage or require, by Gentile Christians we require, Jewish brothers and sisters who are part of our congregations to sort of live like Gentiles

or encourage that adherence to Torah is works, righteousness or whatever the case might be,

that we are removing what distinguishes in a religious, in a particular, and in the sense of a people

and then the assimilation of Judaism to Christianity which is supersessionism mirrors the assimilation of black bodies to whiteness.

Erin, would you like to jump in on that one, no, let's leave that one alone, okay...

Here's one and this uh...this is a response, if it, I don't know if it's, okay I can do this cuz I'm...I got the mic, don't I ?

I want to read the comment, the question for this, for your presentation, but there's a previous one in the same stream,

it was from Thursday but it, they connect in some way so I want to get both of them out here.

This is directly to Erin:

Isn't Erin white? Why is she saying "they"? Is Trayvon Martin really a good example or is it knee-jerk?

Is there anyone here to defend whites? It sounds like prejudice if all whites are all privileged and also stupid.

Right so, what might have been missed, is that I was reading a letter not my own, right, so I'm talking about "they" talking about me.

So let me presume to talk about white people and evangelicals because I am one and I claim that title,

and we can talk about whether we should or not,

but I am seen as white and I think that the demonic does take us for fools.

I wasn't being...and I should say this, I don't know if you're aware of Michelle Alexander and the new Jim Crow,

and part of what Alexander has come to terms with is that there's a spirituality about the ravages of race and violence in this country,

and she doesn't mean that, and I don't think that Du Bois meant that, in some kind of ethereal hyper-safe spiritualized way.

I believe the demonic is real, so I don't think that this is baloney, that the New Testament is just like, well...they didn't really know what they're talking about, and that the spiritual is physical.

I don't believe there's a separation of those, right?

So, when I'm talking...I think the demonic, however we understand, that the demonic does want to devour us.

I mean it lives and feeds off of our activities and our very bodies. It lives off our institutions.

So I understand some of what Alexander to be trying to do is to say, cast out the demon! Right?

Don't just pretend it's about cleaning up the house of law because that's my, that's my objection to limiting our imagination to keep going back to the civil rights movement.

I don't know if you know this but we are more segregated now,

we are more segregated now, in where we live, where we go to school, who we work with, who our friends are, than we were in 1970.

So, hello...it didn't work, but what a triumph for the demonic, right, that we would look back to that and go, gosh, if we can only have 1968 back!?

No! As Christians we should know that there is good in that, there is a purpose in that but there is also a demonic casting out that must happen.

It must begin with us, we must begin to address that in our own churches, in our own lives, in our habits of heart and mind, and what we want.

And if we don't do that, I just think we, I mean I was writing it from the demons perspective, right.

In general, I think we don't actually believe in the demonic, we don't take seriously,

and I find that ironic when we talk about race because if there's any place that I know the demonic exists, it is the more I know about how racists function, right?

I mean to listen to Willie Jennings speak and to go, that is the demonic, the Prince of Darkness who owns this world, right.

I mean if you want to go into John and all that, right. There's a reason we have those texts. So that's my...sorry...

Thank you so much.

(audience applause)

I was just channeling Andrew cuz everybody else got to preach, you know...

Andrew I'm gonna...I want to put the second part of this question cuz they're dealing with the same tough issues.

I'm gonna give you a different version of it though and it's under the category of reverse racism,

like this may strike some as reverse racism...and Erin chose to engage it from the perspective of deception,

but how would you engage that --well, like that problem,

That's great so, it's important to distinguish language of white particularity from whiteness.

It's important to distinguish individuality from systems, and again that is not a self justifying move,

it's a move to say that multiple times in the paper, I tried to signal not a, "all white people are 'x',"

but rather that a focus on justifying ourselves and our intentions is antithetical to the gospel or it participates with the demonic.

So in other words, when a person of color utilizes symbols of, for instance black pride or black lives matter or whatever the linguistic formulation might be,

it is a statement of resistance against dehumanizing forces that categorize people according to a racialized logic.

So, decentering whiteness does not, it's not the same move.

You're talking to...when you're talking to whiteness or about whiteness as the demon is doing in Erin's paper,

you are speaking about a system of power, a structure that had to be learned.

As Jennings mentioned last night, it is maturity, it is progress, the myth of human progress,

and so I was trying to carefully distinguish those things in the paper but unfortunately,

many times it feels like white folks cannot hear words about whiteness or white privilege or whatever the case might be without just being so hurt personally.

There's the sense of white fragility where it's sort of like you know nobody was looking at you one-on-one and saying I think that everything about you is evil, racist and disgusting.

No, we're talking about a system and structure here that in which, that historically we've encapsulated the world in this way of of seeing things,

and that needs to be called idolatry, it needs to be called demonic, right, like anything less is not truthful, it's not honest and it's not prophetic.

Okay, so I'll say two quick things:

One is, part of my gentle push back against Andrew that's in my paper is, I'm not sure that decentering whiteness is a good idea,

because I think it sometimes presumes, gives whiteness too much, right.

So...I'm sort of trying to play with that while still recognizing whiteness, this is our double bind, right.

When I say that, I'm almost forced into a corner, right, because now I'm denying the power of whiteness right,

and if I do that, I've excluded myself from a certain kind of conversation.

The other thing I want to say about reverse racism is I have a white son and the other alternative was actually to write a letter to him,

because my son at 10, 11, 12 years old, that's when he he began to hear in social media about white boys, white men.

At 10, 11, or 12 years old this also makes not a lot of sense to him because a lot of his friends are not white and some are, some aren't, right,

but he thinks he's beyond racism, right. Bless him.

But what he's picking, but what he's picking up, is that something about him is terribly wrong,

and at 10,11, 12, 13, 14 years old...is he privileged? Yeah! But does he get that? No!

How is he gonna get that, right? How can his 10 year old, 11 year old, 12 year old brain get that?

But what he hears, is that there's something about which he cannot change, right, I mean black folk and brown folk understand this right,

but I'm a mother who's watching my son take this in,

and that's part of why I'm writing this to say I don't want my son to be defined by whiteness.

I don't want his relationships, his loves, his passions, to be defined by whiteness.

I don't want him to be seen as white, not in that way, and I would give anything for him to have a different life,

just like September Penn, who's the woman I was talking about, who told her story,

just like September doesn't want to have to worry about her son's walking to the store, right,

and that's what worries me about whiteness, as a mother,

and I married a big white guy too so I mean there's that, I'm not as worried about him right,

but I worry a lot about young white boys, as well as September's black boys, as well as Jillian (inaudible) nephew's, right.

So that's why whiteness disturbs me and why I feel like it's got us in this double bind.

We don't know how to break out of a recognition of its power and acknowledging it.

This is what I thought was genius about what Jonathan was trying to do in his paper, right, staying out of the fertility of the past.

Aquinas says even God does not change the past, God redeems the past.

God makes a new creation out of crap and that's what we have to figure out how to do,

and whiteness constrains that and says you cannot imagine something beyond what I created in the 1400s and damn you if you do.
