Amanda Gorman's translator quits after uproar that Black writer not used

LOLWUT?

https://www.cnn.com/style/article/am...ntl/index.html

Critics of the appointment questioned why a White writer had been chosen to translate the work of a Black writer.

"An incomprehensible choice, in my opinion and that of many others who expressed their pain, frustration, anger, and disappointment via social media," wrote Deul.
Gorman describes herself as a "skinny black girl," said Deul.

"And her work and life have been colored by her experience and identity as a black woman. Is it -- to say the least -- not a missed opportunity to hire Marieke Lucas Rijneveld for this job?" she added, pointing out that the Dutch writer has "no experience in this area."

Amanda Gorman's three books will get one million first prints due to overwhelming demand
"Nothing to detriment of Rijnveld's qualities, but why not choose a writer who -- just like Gorman -- is a spoken word artist, young, female, and unapologetically Black?," said Deul.
“The Misc. is a stone-faced Uncle Sam with Popeye’s forearms and a cocked pistol in each hand. It’s a screeching bald eagle with a foreign Bad Thing in its talons. It’s everything that defines America’s bro culture, magnified and weaponized. But it’s deeper than that.“

Makes sense.


Why white wash black poetry?

Why Elvis such treasures like Duke Ellington or Louis Armstrong?



Why do you feel the need?
When Trump faces a reality she can't stand, she becomes highly emotional and illogical. Every crisis is met by histrionics, tantrums and an inability to deal with facts. "Its a HOAX! Its a FRAUD!"

The emotion then becomes the reality. Those of us with girlfriends are familiar with this phenomena. Donald Trump menstruating 24/7: "Blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his WHEREVER."

The unbelievably tone-deaf decision to have a white person work with a Black person in any capacity is clearly evidence of our white supremacist society. Let this be a teachable moment to all white people that they need to step up and do the emotional work themselves to understand why amplifying Black voices is of the utmost importance and that means refusing to work on any project where they might come into direct contact with any BIPOC in any capacity.

White people need to begin thinking of themselves as a group and start voluntarily relocating themselves to education and work camps where they can isolate People of Color from the trauma of having to interact with them in any way and thereby be exposed to systemic colonialism and white microaggresion.

It's a national tragedy and shame that white people are STILL emotionally enslaving Black Folx with their anti-Black racism.

I plan to begin this work by asking our Mods of Color to please begin banning all non-BIPOC posters.

DO BETTER WHITE PEOPLE!

LOL at having Eminem recite Tupac only for white folk to say the remix sounds better.



How many times have we seen THAT play out?



LOL just LOL!

Totally agree. These white "people" and their hate preferences need to be deprogrammed and dismantled.

Glad you’re back. When’s the next Chess tournament? Maybe 12 hours between moves this time? It’s really only certain bad apples ruining the bunch.

Check the thread brah, signups are open. Tournament starts Thursday 4 March.

For Daily tournaments, the minimum move time is 1 day. I reduced the number of games though so it's only one per pair.

These people who are so stuck on race these days are the most insufferable kunts on earth. They really need something worthwhile to occupy the hole in their pathetic soul.

I really don't understand why anyone pays attention to 'social media' outrage. What are they going to do realistically? Write angrier tweets? Maybe 50 of them won't buy the book?
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.

Well the nonbinary literal ******* was shamed out of a job and the woke social media mob has successfully banned the President of the United States. So, theoretically, I agree with you 100% brah but the fact of the matter is that these *******s are taking over the world with this bullchit, so I think it merits your attention.

So according to this logic we should be in an uproar that a black person is going to direct the next Superman movie.

Let’s just segregate at this point. Blacks can live on the east coast, whites on the west coast. Liberals are truly ruining everything.
Horny.

Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.
