Guest essay by Eric Worrall
According to University of Pennsylvania climate communicator Hanna Morris, use of the word “Anthropocene” facilitates disregard for the disproportionate suffering of indigenous peoples, and encourages the false belief that we are all equally guilty for the current climate crisis.
The language of climate change—and the Anthropocene
Brandon Baker
February 5, 2019Hanna E. Morris, a doctoral student at the Annenberg School for Communication who researches environmental communication, explains the sudden rise of ‘Anthropocene’ as the latest buzzword in the climate dialogue.
Climate change, global warming, climate crisis—the operative term for the most pressing global issue seems to change by the year.
It’s how we discuss climate change that intrigues Hanna Morris, a doctoral student at the Annenberg School for Communication, who will soon present a new paper that assesses climate news frames at the annual International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) conference this July in Madrid, Spain. She tackles the rise of the term “Anthropocene” in climate news, which can be summarized as a relatively new word that is meant to mark the beginning of a new epoch defined by human-caused environmental change.
In the paper, Morris argues that the word not only misinterprets the actual share of blame—the oversimplified notion that humans are all equally responsible for climate change—but ties up the problem in a neat, media-friendly bow.
“By eliminating differences,” she writes in the paper, “histories of colonial violence, and the disproportionate burden of environmental harm felt by Indigenous people is neutralized and therefore evaded. The idea of the Anthropocene therefore validates ‘planetary scale’ projects designed by white male capitalists working from an unaddressed imperial logic.”
Colonialism and capitalism, she argues, drove climate change, and are now deciding how to frame who is responsible for it, who is most affected, how it will be solved, and how we should collectively feel about it.
…
“So, by saying that we all are to blame and that we all are equally experiencing climate change in a new epoch is a dangerous generalization that wipes away historical context. I worry that European and North American powers are once again perpetuating imperial violence and harm through the idea of the Anthropocene. And I explore this problem across the United States news media in my most recent paper.”

Sadly Hanna’s paper has not yet been released, but Hannah raises an important issue.
When white male climate scientists promote the use of the word “Anthropocene”, are they actually unconsciously assuming the role of an imperialist colonialist capitalist aggressor, and unwittingly facilitating public acceptance of the climate exploitation of indigenous peoples?

‘What a waste of time.”

Now guys, ….. ya’ll quickly forgot, to wit: “Hanna E. Morris, a doctoral student at the Annenberg School for Communication ….. ”
To be awarded her PhD, she has to write and present a thesis …… and the more wild and/or weird its contents are, …… the more likely it will be approved.

Greetings,
I have a few questions regarding your research. Hopefully, you would be so kind as to respond to me as I’m genuinely interested in understanding how you’ve arrived at your conclusions.
From what I gather, you have formed the notion that CO² is bad and it’s primarily white men that have proliferated it’s badness. Is that correct?
Before I continue, I should make it aware that I haven’t arrived at the same conclusions as you. It is my conclusion, after many years of personal research, that the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Also, you should know I was once a firm believer in CAGW when I attended Penn State. I was very reluctant to change my mind on the matter, but it did happen.
Here are my questions to you:
What would it take, as far as evidence, statistics, history, (you name it), to change your perspective?
Is there anything that you would consider reflecting upon that could change the conclusions you have reached?
If you would consider the possibility that you may be wrong on some matters, then I’d like to engage on specific matters of science. It would be much appreciated if we could engage in an ongoing discussion on the matter, as you are in a position of influence for young minds not yet adept in formulating independent thought.
I sincerely hope to hear from you, because in an increasing world of intolerance, engaging in genuine, good faith discourse is the preferred method to retain our humanity when interacting with those we might disagree.
I look forward to your reply.
I hope you have a great day!
Sincerely,
Matthew Drobnick
– end transmission.
I hope to hear from her but won’t hold my breath. I was trying to figure a way to dance around the possibility of her being wrong, since no one likes to hear that, but whatever. I’m not very sophisticated
Most interesting would be to find out what suffering the indigenous people have endured. What are her sources and metric for determining suffering?
Hum…
“…as you are in a position of influence for young minds not yet adept in formulating independent thought.”
Watch it. You’ll be accused of reverse ageism.
“…….What would it take, as far as evidence, statistics, history, (you name it), to change your perspective?……”
Let me try to answer for her:
“I am not a specialist in the science of Climate Change, which is very complicated. So I rely of the specialists in this field, who have spent many years studying it.
Their considered view is that Climate Change is happening, that it poses a distinct danger to humanity, and that it is caused by the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, which was mainly driven by Western industry.
If all these distinguished scientists say that this is not true, then I will revise my opinion. But until then I will follow all the Governments, Universities and other learned bodies in the world in trying to avert the disaster that white men have caused…..
Try responding to that!
As a doctoral student a thesis is not a requirement, the requirement is a dissertation, which presents original research. A typical dissertation has 5 or 7 chapters. For the 5 chapter version you start with context, what am I doing and why? The 2nd chapter is theory development, how your work fits in with current knowledge, the 3rd chapter would cover method, the 4th would cover results, the 5th would cover conclusions.
Typically a dissertation is graded in terms of 3 options Pass, Not Pass, Fail. If you pass you are awarded a PhD. A Not Pass means there’s more work to do, under the guidance of your dissertation advisor. A Fail means you are clueless and your done.
But here’s the rub, how does Ms Morris work fit in with the study of Communication. It really does not. The study of Communication, (capital C), would involve either communication theory, which is often applied psychology, or it would involve the study of communication systems, if they be social, institutional, etc. The fact that Ms Morris has gone off the path means that this is irrelevant to the study of Communication and subsequently, as a person who has sat on a number of doctoral committees I would be inclined to give this a FAIL!!!
Her PhD in Communications is probably for a specialization in Propaganda.
She’s dealing with the currently hot theme of political correctness which is certainly a component of effective modern-day communication. Many words in the language are fraught with racist, gender-based, imperialist connotations and should be jettisoned from common usage lest they offend someone. That’s about half the English language.
Just ask the uneducated, poor, under-represented indigenous peoples of rural Africa, New Guinea, Malaysia, etc (in their own language and dialect of course) what they think about calling the current geological epoch the “anthropocene”. Just ask.
And if they’ve never been made aware that they are supposed to be vaguely ill-at-ease using this new, fraught, politically-repressive, white-colonial-guy expression in casual conversation, that is where Ms. Hanna Morris can employ her newly-minted calling to educate them. That is what doctoral degrees in communication do.
I’m going to wager, with very strong confidence, that she was abused as a child. The type of mental health disease she’s expressing is typically accompanied by early childhood trauma, usually inflicted by relatives.
She’s being abused right now by academia in ways large and small. A small: Good writers avoid adverbs. “Actually unconsciously assuming” is a no-no.
A large: The morass of falsehoods, pseudoscience, and white guilt making up the bulk of her thesis. This reveals her to be a lifelong victim of propaganda. One wonders if facts and critical thinking will ever penetrate her fog.
In the meantime Hanna Morris is the moral equivalent of a virgin tossed on a bonfire by a barbaric priesthood in order to appease angry gods.
Tom, thank you. I’m too verbose to capture reality that simply.
Perfectly said.
I wrote her an email, I hope she responds

Look at her selected publications:
A manifesto for media in a warming world…
Says it all.
She sounds more like a complete waste of carbon.
If there is one area of so called ‘academia’ that leaves ‘climate science’ looking actually science based, it is science communication and ‘environmental communication’ would have to be an exemplar.
btw, Western Academia itself was pretty much invented by and developed by ‘white males’.
What he ^ said. I seldom take seriously a member of an elite group complaining about elite groups.
Waste of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and other elements in her body too.
But she is a cute gal. Oops. Toxic male comment.
But she is a cute gal. Oops. Toxic male comment.

Geez, I dunno how that happened.
I’ve got a t-shirt that says: “Warning: Toxic Male. Maintain Safe Distance.’
I used to have one that said – “Sex Appeal – Give generously”. VERY old T-shirt
Didn’t work then and wouldn’t work now. 😉
She’s the kind of “expert” who I have always considered to be a waste of an ejaculation, & subsequently a waste of a sperm! She must be a great dissappointment to her parents! MOD, happy for you to delete as necessary, but until we skeptics really start to fight back hard, freedom & democracy will always be under threat from the totalitarianism of the Left!!!! AtB (PS, the Nazis were never a party of the Far Right, as they have brilliantly claimed in their propaganda over the last 70/80 years, but were the National “Socialist” Workers Party of Germany! Plenty of Hollywood movies where the “German” Gestapo comments upon how good a “National Socialist” a person/group/effort was/were!!!! )
Indeed it was Josef Goebbels, Hitler’s minister for propaganda who said “A lie, often repeated, becomes reality.” This cynical, but astute and oft-confirmed observation, underpins the catastrophist view of human induced climate change
And look at all that ‘reality’ out there in today’s press.
By comparison, Goebbels was a piker.
If the mainstream media were presented with close up footage of ants together with an authoritative sounding voice over to the effect that the creatures in focus were spiders from Mars then by now CAGW would be passe and the deadly threat from Mars would be the fear mongering theme du jour and the white, male astronauts who returned from Mars the evil culprits.
National Socialist Workers Party of Germany´s boss, Adolf Hitler was the most famous Green of his time.
And his disciples, alarmist greenwackos are following his sermons, as a new pure religion. The results are going to be same. Only the scale is much much bigger.
Answer for that little girl and her accusations. Guilty as charged. I have given my share for those poor natures childs by pushing CO2 to atmosphere so they can enjoy greener world and what it is provideing to them.
The younger generations are being taught to identify all individuals as victims or villains, and as far as the environment goes it is entirely victim and humans entirely villains. This latest article suggests an attempt to close the gap and suggest white males are the cause of all harm. The problem is that we live in the best of times with most major human/social problems solved or improving. Even environmental issues are largely sorted or understood well enough that we know how to resolve them. Much of the improvement is a natural outcome of development, urbanization (reduces human impact on land and makes a good quality of life much less energy/resource intensive per capita), and family planning by choice (not coercion).
The younger generation lack the experience of dealing with real issues of hunger, war, contagion that defined most of human history. They have no perspective and so it is easy to casually fall into a belief that everyone but a select “privileged” class is a victim and thus, remove any responsibility for their own actions or the outcomes in their lives. If this trend continues the outcome is written in stone. It has happened over and over again in human history and it is happening now on the collective front page of the media with respect to Venezuela. Remove individual responsibility, remove reward for effort and achievement, remove self determination and you will quickly have failed states. Failed states mean everyone’s lives degrade and we return to hunger, contagion and conflict.
It would be nice to think that recognizing this fact and stating it will make a difference, but I feel this trend in human ignorance will only reverse once people en mass feel the tragic consequences of their own ideology.
Heinlein put it well:
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.”
Ayn Rand was also noticed the trend with “Atlas Shrugged”.
Where’s John Galt when you need him?
100% agree. She lived in the socialist USSR and when she came to America she was shocked to see political activists trying so hard to make the US into the USSR. Her stories and her political movement were designed to warn us against this regressive trend. But people seem to need to learn from their own stumbles and are perpetually reluctant to believe the stories of others with deeper experience no matter how often repeated.
According to University of Pennsylvania climate communicator
Look how affluent American colleges have become. Funding for nonsensical, useless, propagandists. Stop giving ANY $$$ to ANY college.
It’s a lot more than a ‘waste of time’.
It’s a call to arms based on open bigotry.
Funny how this sort of thing always seems to start in academia.
Funny,
I don’t feel the least bit guilty. Having done my bit to enable mankind to feed 7 billion people I feel nothing but accomplishment. Those, however, who will deny power and heat to the third world, (brown people) should feel the red hot heat. This young lady set an agenda and made sure to make stuff fit. She will have contributed to poverty and starvation.
At leash French Poetry can get ya laid
Finally, here is something we CAN blame on fossil fuels. Because of the extraordinary ability of fossil-fueled machines to perform work, like sowing and harvesting crops, Hanna has time to produce a “report” such as this. In a world without fossil fuels, her labour would far more likely have been directed at picking rocks out of a field or doing some of the thousands of other hard-labour tasks that mechanization has relieved her of. And her mind would far more likely have been occupied with, “Where is my next meal coming from and how do I stay warm this winter,” as opposed to being occupied with this drivel (which was almost surely written with the help of fossil-fuel-provided electricity for her computer). Perhaps she would like to return to simpler times?
Penn State is not U Penn…two different universities.
What a coincidence. I went to the State Pen.
Correct
You beat me to it. Lucky for Penn State in this case. They have enough troubles.
She’s totally, complete barking mad
Hanna, all the people of the planet are indigenous. All of them, or their ancestors, have moved location on the planet.
The two biggest socialist economies, USSR and China were the biggest polluters on the planet.
Since you (Hanna) have learned very little I suggest you move to Venezuela where you can experience the joys of true socialism.
Beautiful!
fair productive socialism will only work when Hanna (and her sisters) are in charge of the program. Until then, such talk of venezeula, china & russia as the necessary or likely end result of the program will be ignored.
Hanna and her sisters will be able to make it work.
Well … Yes … but this is the post-modernist / feminist claptrap masquerading as science that currently infests academia.
Could not have stated it better!
She isn’t mad in the least. She knows perfectly well that, to succeed in Academia today, she must spout the usual PC drivel.
And then get a job spouting more progressive drivel all paid for by the tax payer. Am I allowed to be offended by the shear nonesence she has written? Who is the nut job adult who is guiding her? Dear God, we’re doomed!
My BS detector just exploded.
Seriously, who planted these obvious marxist notions in her belief system? Oh wait, educators.
Pish, “Anthropocene” is a geological concept, probably a valid one because Homo sapiens caused mass extinctions as we spread across the world tens of thousands of years ago, hence there is a change in the fossil record, which proves that it was us that did it.
These mass exterminators became the “Indigenous” people of each region, nothing to do with “Climate Change” or the evil white capitalist male of the species.
It’s not valid, since it’s a proposed and rejected alternative to the Holocene, ie the past ~11,400 years, after most of the late Pleistocene extinctions had already occurred, which weren’t mass.
But, yes, humans were largely responsible for wiping out Eurasian, Australian and American megafauna from c. 50 to 10 Ka, and some species since then, mainly on islands. This process however doesn’t merit its own geologic epoch.
Lord, nothing survives if it tastes like chicken.
We’re still working on wiping out snakes, with the aid of Army Rangers.
Well, chicken survive.
Lord, nothing survives if it tastes like chicken.
There’s no strict definition of mass extinction event, but in the smallest of the big five recognized for the Phanerozoic Eon, the Ordovician (with few land plants and animals), 60 to 70% of multicellular species disappeared. In the worst, the Permian MEE, 96% of marine species were wiped out, and ~70% of land animals, to include insects.
So the Pleistocene extinctions were far from a major mass event.
If you go to http://climatecommunication.yale.edu/topic/ you will see what they describe as a Climate Communicator.
When you read through and finally get to Policy & Politics you will see it is nothing more than spreading their propaganda:
“Stopping global warming will require coordinated policies by national, state, and local governments. Our research measures, tracks and explains the drivers of public support for climate and energy policies and the larger politics of global warming, including elections, political parties and political ideology.”
My first thought was what the heck is a climate communicator. But that makes sense every great socialist movement requires Propagandists.
Specialization has become such a thing that our politicos need to have propagandists in every field Climate Propagandist, Economic Propagandist like Krugman, Propaganda Generalists like Bill Maher…Thanks to Colin Kaepernick we now have Sports Propagandists.

https://www.nap.edu/read/25368/chapter/2
“When climate science is being mischaracterized or ignored, particularly by highly influential individuals or groups, even in cases when the National Academies have not provided a public response in the past.” “The group acknowledges that a quick response team, proposed by a committee overseeing the Climate Communications Initiative Strategic Plan, could appear partisan. So the academies will not respond to disputes over policy or budget, just on science, engineering or the health aspects of climate change” “Its (Academies) work is considered a gold standard of scientific review.” NOT ANY MORE! Communication is a now a science like physics.
Sociologists also want to be seen as scientists these days.
Physics, chemistry, biology, astrophysics – these are sciences, as are the disciplines that derive from them.
Sociology, psychology, economics, are NOT sciences. Not even “soft” sciences.
You only need to look at the spread of backgrounds ( I am prevented from using the term disciplines) associating them selves with and being promoted by the climate industrial complex as scientists or climate scientists or climate experts. Anything to do with the 2 trillion US a year Being sucked out of the life blood of Western society? No of course not!
Communist China accounts for 30% of global CO2 emmissions, and its share is growing, while (soon not to be) capitalist USA’s falls.
https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata2017201
Socialist India’s atmospheric plant food contributions are also increasing by leaps and bounds.
China emits more than twice as much CO2 as the US.

Yo get the Penn State out of there, I am an alum and its says the University of Pennsylvania , That is NOT PENN STATE
Thanks
Maybe the headline writer was thinking state pen.
Yes, please. mods, please fix the headline to read University of Pennsylvania, not Penn State.
Unfortunately, at my alma mater UPenn, you can apparently get a PhD for this dreck.
Mods?
My comment about whites being good didn’t post. I think given the article, it was on point. Additionally, I didn’t say anything that was untrue. If you would please post that is appreciate it and then delete this?
P.S. it’s more than just OK to be white
Joe, with the nonsense this article mentions as passing for a doctoral thesis at that institution, I’d think you’d welcome the distance such confusion causes. I know if I was an alum of U of Penn, I’d be glad that people think this nonsense was coming from Penn State instead of my alma mater as I’d be downright embarrassed to admit I went to the same university as the one that accepts such junk.
As an old (sigh) white (slightly tanned) male (definitely) capitalist (the soft hearted kind) colonialist, I love the ridiculous term ‘Anthropocene’ because it so perfectly captures the self centred arrogance of those who use it.
At least she seems to recognize that under socialism, all of this nifty modern technology would not exist.
Yup! She could actually ask all those indigenous people if they would rather have modern medicine or slightly colder winters. That’s the choice!
a communications doctorate is setting the stage for future genocide. Her own. You can’t make this stuff up.
The WhiteMaleColonialistocene!
Hahahaha, what an idiot she is.
Add the word “Dangerous” to your compound word and I think you’ve got it!
. . . and every asswhole on the planet doesn’t need a larger megaphone. Just sayin’. If this was left to die in the moldy halls of Pen Wherever, would anybody even notice?
I agree with her 100%. All white male climate nutters should resign from their sweet tenured university posts in shame today. You tell em Hanna.
Run the lot of them off. Sustainability freaks, social justice ally weasels, micro-aggression flinging sis-straight white males, and every other flaccid white douche holding down the job you want.
Once you’ve achieved this it will be much easier for people like me to convince the maybe sane people to cut your funding and send you packing back to your true calling at the coffee shop.
Hey, Penn State, get a clue . . . it was woman that gave birth to me (as well as all other humans) . . . you’re blaming the wrong gender.
Not true, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been giving birth too, and he is a kind of male, I guess. /SciFi
Or maybe it’s University of Pennsylvania that needs the clue . . . one of you two “educational” institutions allowed Hanna E. Morris to reach “doctoral student” status.
And now, with her allotted 15 minutes of fame, she is certain to become Hanna E. Morris, PhD for her breakthrough theory.
I’d say both institutions need a clue, which U or Penn is giving us Hanna’s nonsense, Penn State gave us Michael Mann and his nonsesnse
Someone is actually giving her money to do this nonsense? What we need is communication of facts on CO2.
I bet her daddy is proud. I am very much afraid to send my son to college. I might get an educated daughter back.
she wont be educated – maybe indoctrinated , but not educated – unless the degree is in the hard sciences
Hahahaha oh David that was excellent! Thank God I’m not quite to work yet otherwise my keyboard may be soaked
David, While I understand what you said, the thing is your “daughter” won’t be educated just indoctrinated, and won’t really be a daughter, just ignorant of biology.
She is taking a propaganda course.
And it is everywhere in university life.
I will remain a Holocene man.
What do people like her do when they have to go out in the real world and get a job? They seem to be unfit for life outside academia. That is why they push socialism, so they can be unaccountable bureaucrats protected from reality.
She can probably get a job at one of Al Gore’s propaganda companies.
Oh snap. Benjamin Franklin ultimate colonialist or worse colonist white male is the founder of the University of Pennsylvania. Better get that statue down quick. Hey Hey Ho Ho lightning boy has got to go.
Hanna will be running for President in 2020 on the Silly Party slate.
shed be a shoo in at abc radio national in aus
i just bet shes read lewpapers works and loved it too.
They work for Gillette in their advertising department and scuttle a once-great company! Oh, well!
They apply to government agencies, which apparently have unlimited budgets to hire people who can’t actually do anything.
I believe that was titled: Americans with No Abilities Act (ANA)
How do you think they staff the DMV?
Penn State is the Pennsylvania State University. UPenn or Penn is the University of Pennsylvania. They are different. Often just as crazy. But different. Please correct your headline.
Who invented the washing machine and the dish washer again and the vacuum cleaner and the electric grid?
Just checking.
And 98% of everything the modern world appreciates?
Including the CO2 spewing jet she is taking to Madrid. Talk don’t walk.
From google:
“Josephine Garis Cochran invented the first useful dishwasher in Shelbyville, Ill., and received patent # 355,139 on December 28, 1886. Cochrane, a wealthy woman who entertained often, wanted a machine that could wash dishes faster than her servants, and without breaking them.”
I’ve seen that smile somewhere before. I think it was in Alice in Wonderland.
If I had to guess, it was the Red Queen.
More likely the Cheshire cat, as in: suddenly appear on the scene, make a mischievous statement, and then fade away to obscurity.
Yes, that’s it.
The “I’m right, because I can’t be wrong” smile?
Or maybe this is what amounts to the in-the-money smile for climate communicators get ahead with potential (nefarious) clients.
“…encourages the false belief that we are all equally guilty for the current climate crisis.”
Contributions to civilization:
Christianity: “All are forgiven their transgressions against divine law. Therefore, do not judge; love your neighbor as yourself.”
Postmodernism: “All except those who embrace sanctified identities are forever guilty. Therefore, criticize and condemn them perpetually.”
Joe, I unfortunately attended that “University” as well, but you know as well as I do that U Penn is IVY league and in a whole other class than that random blip of rabid football fans congregating at a supposed higher education institution. Michael Mann… Hello? Real credibility there 🙄
Penn State is a pathetic joke, just like almost every other University these days. They’ve all been overthrown by neo-Marxist, post-modernists.
These people are extremely resentful and feel entitled to much they don’t deserve. They are trained to hate whites and if they are white, to self loathe (gee, I wonder from whom they learned that behavior). This is all part of the destruction of whites worldwide. This isn’t a one off, this isn’t an accident, this is planned genocide and it’s so far been very effective. I’ve grown tired of being attacked because my skin, which is sad when you talk to non whites… Many foam at the mouth over it, even though they have themselves never been actually discriminated against like this.
Look at migration, it’s all non-whites flooding traditionally white, safe, successful nations. It’s the UN migration pact. Again, the UN is at the core of another foul agenda, but is anyone surprised?
https://youtu.be/5WRszRZBfYw
Oh BTW, red ice radio has fantastic coverage of this war against whites. Many folks initial response may be to say “they are racists” but I would urge folks to look through the information before snapping to judgement. Whites have been trained that it is unacceptable to be proud to be white. That is a very dangerous precedent that’s been set, considering the current affairs and how the United States is transforming into a socialist hell hole right before our eyes.
It’s not only OK to be white! It’s a blessing and I’m proud.
Matthew, considering the nonsense that passes for a PhD thesis mention in this article, I don’t think UPenn is in much position to bash the credibility of Penn State. from the outside, it looks like they’re just two crazy birds of a feather.
In the age of AOC and PC on steroids, I am using this phrase more frequently, “There are no words .”
Where did we go wrong?
The AOCene. A period of epic ineptness and stupidity.
“Where did we go wrong?”
We slept while the socialists took over our society’s institutions of thought control.
My wife says we should never have given women the right to vote. Nor to eighteen year olds. She says she would gladly give up her vote to get rid of the plainly brainless women running for office and making headlines as if they are intelligent humans.
This lady is a perfect example.
If white male capitalists should take all the blame for the (net beneficial) mild increase in temperature since the 19th century, should they also get all the credit for the (massively beneficial) change in standard of living since then?
Give credit where credit is due. Capitalism and free markets benefit people of any color and any gender, as has been well demonstrated all over the world whenever it’s been tried. It’s bigotry and racism to pretend only white males can do it, and rank and cruel stupidity to believe that no one should do it.
Woke thinkers (lol) don’t roll that way. They destroy. They don’t build. They parasites, vampires, thieves.
This woman is detestable.
Those who have enabled her are worse.
