Being colorblind doesn't mean you don't see color. It means you treat people based on their character.
I don’t think Rufo is making conservatives fridge. I think his point about making unelected government bureaucracies accountable to publicly elected assemblies if they insert their unpopular ideology into educational institutions is a hard point to argue against.
Bri Conservatives cannot speak without having to wonder if they will be physically attacked or some sort of retaliation. Every liberal on college campuses can say and do say anything they want.
that's the thing is that the left does not want to talk they just go directly to personal attack,if you have a different opinion they immediately start calling you the most rudest things.
I really like Briahana. I don’t agree with a lot of what she says though. I like the respectful “push back” between her and Robbie! Sometimes though, as in this case, she lets her bias rob her of her intelligent examination of the subject!
Briahna doesn't understand the concept of colorblindness. It's an abstract concept of how you see rather than the concrete of what you see. This would explain why she cannot understand many things on here.
I hate that we've come to this, but Briahna's framing of Rufo's actions against certain modes of thought are exactly how many conservatives feel that they have been driven out of mainstream schools. I don't know what the answer is.
Conservatism is the new counterculture.
So now she's pretending like there's no stifling of free speech on campuses? Free thinkers are not pushed to the right? Because of her "lived experience" ? Then she calls it fragility? And that student is just triggered asking for safe space. What's next? Pretending that liberals are not called conservative, politically homeless don't exist, there's no red pilling, there's no lifelong democrats walking away…cancel culture is not real….?
Sorry Brie, US colleges have produced the most un-profound, largely idiotic ideas in the history of mankind. It is a waste of money. Study over seas kids.
By colorblind he doesnt mean literally not knowing the race of the person, its not letting that be the focus of judging someone like it is today on the far left. Im sure Briahna knows that…
Have you noticed the violent video clips on Twitter lately? I wish I could opt out of seeing them.
Based BJG
Leftists are brazenly attacking free speech and silencing people. They actually feel righteously empowered by it.
I thought this was about Michael Ray Newman suing Howard University… sounds so similar.
12:00 thats the whoopi goldberg argument! & thr is some truth in it. trans too (more often then they like) can not hide thr identity: so we cant be entirely blind to it. i can pretend not to be jewish, you cant pretend not to be black: thr are circumstances that matrs. & the volunteer (or funded, as is the case now) secret police re-education nonsense in these schools is worthy of combating. protecting minorities, who will always be in the minority, is the hard part. cant go too far either way.
but the general line has to be no violence. & the rest should be perceived "victim" support", not retribution of perceived transgressors. & if you cant leave the safe space room, or want to still be a surgeon "but shouldnt have to see blood, bigot!" – yeah, we do need to find that nvr 100% clear line which that OTT example is hinting at. bc it is real. but do it wo abandoning ppl who say they are strugling. it is a hard job, but a lot of ppl get paid pretty well to do it. so. _JC
Love it!
I love how Robby immediately brought the receipts for how authoritarian the left really is on campus with a two second search. Bri's examples from her days in college wouldn't be tolerated today. That's the point of everything in this article.
Bri pretending that the real problem isn’t institutional repercussions, getting penalized from professors, losing out on scholarships, or being reported to DEI thugs to be put through a brainwashing program. Did she have to deal with any of these repercussions when she was in school I’d have loved to hear about them.
Can Brianna tell us what's the hypocrisy of the conservatives? From what I see it's 100% WOKE professors and students banning or harassing everyone else.
Brianna being hypocrite again…there's a 13 to 1 ratio of Democrat teachers vs Republicans…
Diversity of opinion? Really? Say 1 single thing the left doesn't agree with and they will cancel you.
There are literally 2 articles this week of students who got expelled for not agreeing that there are 73 genders… weekly news… meanwhile Brianna is gaslighting us abd saying 1 university that wants to g
Hire people of a different thinking is bad (while ignoring the left has been doing that for years until it reached a 13 to 1 ratio and openly punishes anyone with other ideas)… PATHETIC
These “studies” departments shouldn’t be shut down bc they are opposing any viewpoints. That’s a complete strawman. Gender studies and the like should be shut down bc they aren’t scientific or rigorous. It’s a religious ideology absolutely RESISTANT to data or new information. We must have SOME standards as to what constitutes an academically rigorous discipline. And we can actually DEMONSTRATE that these departments are not scientifically driven.
This is what everyone was afraid of, if the left goes too far then the right spazzes our and tries to tip the scales back in their favor, using blunt censorship and authoritarianism. A vicious cycle where everyone loses.
Omfg Brie you look amazing!
Briahna is outright and deliberately mischaracterizing what the kid wrote. He didn't complain that making the argument in class re: colorblindness was responded to with with the claim that saying so was "invalidating". She suggests that maybe he just needs to make an argument to counter that disagreement. But the "microinvalidation" point re: colorblindness was made in a "diversity training session", ie a bureaucratic invocation of the social rules that are in force on the campus and that, if broken, could result in sanction. When she does this sort of thing, in bad faith as it were, she invalidates her whole "leftist" persona and comes across as someone who belongs on The View.
if socialism is allowed, racism should be allowed as well. if socialism speech is allowed, racism speech should as well. socialism is worse than racism, from any perspective.
We are all the same at the end of the day…
Bri is black?
"Some" overreaches on the left? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Horrible channel. Yeah, let's focus on all these " right winners" in education.
He's an idea, get your leftist teachers to stop letting drag queens in front of children then we can talk.
Conservatism is the new counterculture.
It's not a left , right or extreme thing to argue that a University which receives fedral or state funding should loose their funding & accreditation if they not hold the principal of free speech.
I don't think he literally meant "Finishing school"
Poor lil snowflake conservatives. My advice, educate yourself and excise your conservative delusions. Conservatism is an insane & detrimental ideology. It needs to be eradicated.
Thank you Brie. You are the best host here by far. There is not even a fair comparison. You are 100000000000000X better then every other host they have.
Awesome segment from Brie!
So stiff
Ummm…. the left doesn't debate nor do they live in reality. Bjg is not genuine in her arguments.
This is a silly conversation😐
College isn’t where you go to confirm your biases, particularly about other people.
If you can’t deal with a diversity of opinion or ambiguity during your time there or after, you wasted both your time and money.
Fundamentalism, properly understood, is not about religion; it is about the inability to seriously entertain the possibility that one might be wrong. In individuals such fundamentalism is natural and, within reason, desirable trait, but when it becomes the foundation for an intellectual system, it is inherently a threat to freedom of thought.
Yup.
Most colleges are now liberal cesspools
Hasn’t anyone told Bri she oh I didn’t realize you are black ? That’s just an over reach . A racist white person will never say that , they rather just call you the N word . So I don’t really understand her point her . MLK will be call the black face of white supremacy because he preached about a color blind society which simple means that we should be treated by the content of character not the color of our skin . Biden invalidated my blackness because I didn’t vote for him so that’s the true invalidation
I think I finally figured out what gets to me about Briahna. Her arguments are thoughtful and well made but they're too lawyerly. She's coming from a place of trying to win rather than trying to understand.
American colleges are just sooooo bad and honestly BJG is a very intelligent journalist and I see her point but come on briahana try standing up in the middle of room with a maga hat at college and we only see protests when conservative turn up to talk if you disagree that’s fine but come on
