Maya Wiley is rocking it on Deadline Whitehouse- Update video at #36

[malaise]

Sick of this racist shit.
One of my siblings topped his graduate class at an Ivy League College in the US. He won a full scholarship to that institution- came 11th in the effin world in GRE. We all earned our degrees. Eff all this racist DEI shit.

[BComplex]

1. I love Maya Riley.

She's a brilliant lady with great poise and dignity.

[malaise]

3. Ditto

[hlthe2b]

2. That they are going after her for both race and gender is a bit of a gift to us... It ties women of all races

and certainly many or most black men as well to this fight. We should take this and run.

[malaise]

4. Agree

But I’m exhausted

[Dave in VA]

5. Absolutely!

Hope they get that clip up on youtube ASAP and get it going viral NOW!

[TommyT139]

13. I hope

I hope the clip includes a view of Eddie Glaude holding her hand, too.

The rethugs are going to be very confused over the next 100+ days, with as much red clothing as they're going to see!

[BComplex]

21. Are they a thing?

Prof. Glaude and Maya Wiley?

[TommyT139]

22. I read it as

I read it as a gesture of solidarity, support, and love.

[BComplex]

25. That's awesome

[Skittles]

6. it's the same old story

white males get a pass, everyone else has to prove themselves over and over and over again

THIS SHIT HAS TO STOP and I think a black woman defeating a rich while male repuke would shatter not just the "glass ceiling" but the racist core of ALL whites supremacists........BRING IT ON!

[malaise]

8. Agree

But I thought we were past this shit

[GiqueCee]

37. Would that it were so, malaise...

... and it should be. But, as long as conservatives persist in hamstringing education in furtherance of their disease belief system, weak minds will grasp for simplistic answers to complex questions that, in turn, encourage their inchoate resentments toward anything they're too fucking stupid to understand.

[sarchasm]

46. "their inchoate resentments" - ha!

MAGA in a nut shell.

[ms liberty]

53. I thought we were past it when we elected Obama

And then the racist misogynistic aholes started spreading their hateful propaganda. By the end of Obama's 8 years, I knew we were farther away than we had been at the beginning. We were closer then than we are now. .

[Rubyshoo]

7. They Are Afraid Of The Competition Of Competence

Or something to that effect.

[malaise]

16. The data across the planet shows that once we all have the same opportunities

No race or ethnicity is superior to another. That fact shatters all their bullshit lies about white superiority PERIOD.
It is that they want to destroy.

The CONvicted felon is a fucking dunce.

Well, Donny paid students at Wharton to write many of his papers. One professor thought Donny was incredibly stupid. This is fact, not conjecture, not fake news. Donny had to pay Wharton students so he could actually graduate and that was just in the middle of his class, not at the top as he has declared so many times. Again, more irrefutable facts.

So, having someone go in, pretend to be Donny and take an SAT exam sounds just like dumb Donny, a cheat, a fraud, an imposter.

[2naSalit]

9. You know...

That card reader lady, Marianne, in several of her videos she comes up with the truth coming out about everything. I have been calling this time the great comeuppance, about everything. This is the great revelation of our ills as a species and it will have a big kick around the globe.

I tend to think those readings were pretty close to what has happened so far.

[Tadpole Raisin]

40. It's so weird you say that! She suddenly popped up on YouTube about

a week ago and I wondered what have I been watching that made YouTube recommend this…

So I watched. It was quite interesting.

I also recently checked out a video about a guy who was making frog ‘houses’ out of pvc pipe. Mistake! Now I’m getting lots of recommended frog videos, lol!

[Sogo]

10. I don't know who Maya Riley is, so I googled it.

She looks like a teenie bopper, blond, white girl. "Girl Meets World." Are you sure you have the name right?

[Spazito]

18. It is Maya Wiley, a lawyer, professor, civil rights activist...

She was just on with Nicole and was amazing, spelled out the ugly racism along with the misogyny that black women have been facing for years and is being used by the rabid right wing against VP Harris now.

[malaise]

19. LOL

Typo😀

[Tadpole Raisin]

42. I really like her! nt

[Celerity]

51. I SO wished she had won the NYC mayoral race instead of the ex-Republican Eric Adams, who has become such

a problematic leader of that city.

Al Sharpton earned my ire when he started slamming her with bullshit due his being in the tank for Adams.

[Tadpole Raisin]

63. You and me both! nt

[Celerity]

67. There is a real hatred from far too many black men towards us black women who chose a white partner.

I saw a lot of that directed at Maya. I see it directed at Kamala. The worst are those bellend Hotep types, the ones who call black women with white men 'bed wenches'.

I also saw it my whole life with my parents (white Swedish father, black Bajan mum) growing up in London, and I have seen it in my own life, albeit from certian women in the lesbian community of colour, especially some black studs (had one in London call ME a bed wench, ffs) and certain other lesbi afrocentric types. It was the worst, on balance, in the US, when we (me and my then GF, now wife, who is all Swedish, blonde, blue eyes) lived there whilst I read for my MBA in Los Angeles.

[Tadpole Raisin]

71. Wow. I was never exposed to that, or really anything having grown

up in white as white northern Maine.

But when I moved to Massachusetts after college over time I was exposed to different common types of prejudice and could never understand why people felt that way. I still can’t.

I look for honesty and integrity first and foremost. And then how do you treat others, whether they are considered to be high on the rungs of society or low on the rungs. If I see a difference in how people are treated that’s a red flag.

Hating other people is learned, not innate. You see kids of different color who first meet stare at each other. Then after a few minutes they play like best friends. If only that didn’t get corrupted by adults.

Kamala will try to bring people together just like Biden has tried to do, maybe better. We need it.

The alternative is to let TSF tear us apart even more and enjoy watching the destruction. I can’t bear that.

[malaise]

47. Lovely

Rec

[whathehell]

50. It's Mara WILEY

..not "Riley".

[ellemb]

11. I watched.

Gave me chills. She was holding Eddie Glaude's hand. Nicole said next time you can grab me.

[iluvtennis]

41. Welcome to DU. Maya was holding Eddie Glaude's hand in unity against all of the sh*t claiming that black

and brown people are unqualified and only got where they did because of DEI. She called BS and so do I as a black woman.

I never got any advancement because of my race. I got my bachelor's and master's degree in engineering based on meeting all of the requirements - no one gave me a thing. We black folks had to be better in every aspect to try make the playing filed level to even compete. Maya said it much better than I could. But believe me, as a black person, I understand what she has saying as I have lived it just as she has.

and again welcome to DU.

[ellemb]

69. Thanks

[calimary]

43. Welcome to DU, ellemb!

GREAT stuff! I’m a fan of both of ‘em.

[niyad]

49. Welcome to our DU family.

[malaise]

54. Welcome

😀

[democrank]

58. A warm welcome to you, ellemb

I also watched….and cried.

[ellemb]

73. Thanks everyone

[nolabear]

12. She really is. They've got me all verklempt.

I swear I’ve teared up more, and for happier reasons, than I have in a long time.

[likesmountains 52]

14. That was so powerful. Can John Heilemann please stop talking so much though?

I could have listened to Maya for another 30 minutes. Heilemann seems to take over every time he's on( which seems to be quite often).

[BComplex]

24. John's not my favorite

He also leans pretty far to the right on a lot of topics.

[blm]

15. Maya Wiley, mal

[ellemb]

17. Maya Wiley

[malaise]

20. Thanks all

Typo😀

[SocialDemocrat61]

26. Unfortunately

The horrid Eddie Glaude is on too. Will he shive Harris like he did Clinton 8 years ago?

[TommyT139]

55. Nope

You should listen to the segment.

And then one of the following ones, about the new Trump family tell-all book out next week. Prof Glaude discloses that his sister is, like Fred Trump's, developmentally delayed.

Not surprisingly for a scholar of James Baldwin, he's a man of deep and intentional compassion.

[SocialDemocrat61]

62. He also trashed Hillary Clinton

and helped give us Trump. https://time.com/4402823/glaude-hillary-clinton/

[TommyT139]

70. Minimally

Hillary not being progressive enough certsinly wasn't the biggest complaint against her.

Thqnk goodness there's more diversity of opinion in the Democratic voter base than is evident here.

[SocialDemocrat61]

72. He still did it

He helped give us Trump and never apologized for it.

[Native]

27. Heard her in the car...she was amazing.

[ancianita]

28. Maya and Eddie BRUNG IT.

[BittyJenkins]

29. Maya was on fire and

Moved me and everyone on the set. She is a deep amazing soul.

[Escurumbele]

30. This is an interview by Jorger Ramos with Jared Taylor - This is the height of republican racism

You will not believe the things this guy says.

[spanone]

31. She's amazing

❤️

[H2O Man]

32. Recommended.

Maya is The Best! I haven't spoken with her in a while, but ALWAYS listen closely when she speaks!

[getagrip_already]

33. Old prejudice - if you cant afford it, you dont belong

Even if you are an athlete, you are still ridiculed as "less than", even though you are treated like royalty if you are winning.

But on a free ride, get to the back. You dont belong here.

Doesnt matter how smart or capable you are.

Just the way it has always been.

[surfered]

34. DEI is Republican speak for keep power in white men's hands.

[FHRRK]

35. OnDoutside found the video - WOO HOO!!!! - Huge shout out to OnDoutside

https://topnewsshow.com/deadline-white-house-7-24-24-4pm/

Suggest watching from beginning, if short of time you can start @ 10 minute mark

[Rubyshoo]

36. FOUND VIDEO !!!

Maya Wiley calls it out

Must have recorded it himself.

[malaise]

48. Thanks Rubyshoo😀

[Rubyshoo]

59. Anytime malaise

[Randomthought]

61. They're coming for white woman next.

As a woman (wo happens to have white skin), I stand with all my sisters

[Bev54]

38. She did rock it but I think what really got me was Professor Glaude when he explained

that their attacks on her for laughing was also a racial trope. He explained how they had laughing barrels for blacks to stick their head in to laugh so they did not disturb those around them (white people). I had never heard that before.

[calimary]

44. I didn't know that, either.

“The more you know…” indeed. Makes me wonder what else we don’t know. And HOW MUCH ELSE we don’t know.

[Celerity]

52. I did an OP on that earlier (laughing barrels)

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219231579

[tavernier]

39. I love her and I love her knowledge of black history.

This may sound particularly strange since I am not black, but I worked with several black women last year, one with a college degree, who did not know who John Lewis was. I met and spent a morning with this incredible man, and couldn’t for the life of me understand that any American, let alone black American, would not know who he was or what he did. But I suppose that just reinforces the fact that some of us are political junkies and some are not, regardless of race or age or gender.

[IronLionZion]

45. DEI Definitely Earned It

Minorities overcome a lot of obstacles and barriers to keep us out. The people who benefit from those barriers don't like it.

[ms liberty]

56. She had a righteous rant. I saw it and hoped someone would post it here

It was really great to see her expressing the issue so well, and seeing everyone go still and quiet to allow her to give voice to her (and our) outrage. Eddie holding her hand was eloquent without words. Nicolle and John just listened and absorbed.

It felt like such a real moment. I was really touched and impressed with her.

[LiberalFighter]

57. It is beyond me why anyone would want a less competent person for any position

When there is a more competent/qualified person. Especially if they can provide more results.

I had volunteered at the county party to keep track of assigned election workers. I had the history of those that had worked in the past. I would regularly send in a spreadsheet to the county election board of those assigned and those still vacant.

There was a volunteer that headed the task of making calls to find poll workers. I had the forms for each position that had info about the polling place location. He maintained them in a binder.

Anyway he was considering not volunteering for that position as I was for my task. We had worked well together doing a great job. Such that we finished the work before the deadline and our Republican counterparts. I told him that if he was not volunteering for the upcoming 2020 election I would not either. We both agreed to do it one more time. I'm a white male and was 66 at the time. He was a black male and little older than me.

He was a strong Democrat and very active in his part of the city. He was an important contact for any candidate both city and state.

[malaise]

65. Great post

Sadly competent folks expose corruption, nepotism and political curry favors.
If you want to keep in the ‘family’ you can’t hire competent folks.😀

[LiberalFighter]

66. Thank you.

[Attilatheblond]

60. She is always great

today, she whacked a grand slam outta the park! I was in tears.

[BumRushDaShow]

64. I watched that

and watched as heads (like Heilmann's) drop.

They heard and felt the seethe that we feel. it's lying right under the surface. Beware. It's out there. Burning.

(Nicole was fascinated)

[Sparkly]

68. I hoped someone would have this

She was breathtaking. Perfectly said.
