I just skimmed and read her quotes here and there, but she sounds like an awful woman. That said, I'm 100% in support of her doing whatever she wants with her money. Unfortunately, she wants governments (i.e. you and me, who never owned slaves and whose ancestry also never owned slaves) to do the same thing to assuage her guilt.
I'd say "good riddance, glad she won't have a presence in media without her job any more," except we all know that this will just increase her profile and she'll never go away.
However I would not be shocked if this was some kind of clever grift she's got going on precisely as you point out of a way to increase her public profile.
I don't think she's a grifter. I think grift implies deception. I give her the benefit of the doubt in that she genuinely believes that she is a Wonderful Person that is helping the poor negroes and making the world a better place. Hell, she probably assumes that she'd face a barrage of racist abuse (she deserves abuse; I dispute that it would be motivated by racism) for being so Stunningly Brave.
If it just so happens that it instead increases her profile to show us what a Wonderful Person she is, well in her mind that's just a happy (100% deserved) bonus for fixing the world.
I can see why people think Women as a group are arguably “too agreeable” and too susceptible to subversion tactics for a country to survive if they are in power.
I think it’s idiotic but at least it’s her own money. I am sick of Floyd’s death being called a reckoning. Also tired of young people talking about slavery as if it is some deep dark secret that only they know about. I really hope the truth about Floyd’s death is shown eventually
My number one reply to bleeding heart leftists (other than calling them retarded) is that if they feel so strongly there's nothing stopping them from sacrificing their own resources to achieve their goal. 99.9% of the time there's no reply (.1% margin of error) but look here-- one of em finally nutted up and did it
Yep. Reminds me of the time Tucked Carlson talked to a wealthy white liberal who whines about his privilege and the fact he was on “stolen land”. Tucker asked him why he didn’t look up the tribe that was on that land and give the land to them. The guy didn’t say anything
“What I've learned is it’s the acknowledgment that's important. People have said this to me in the Caribbean, ‘It's not the money you gave Laura, it's the support you're giving to our cause that means so much more,’” she says.
Just throwing ideas at the wall here rather than actually advocating this:
Maybe suicidal people like this should be killed so they can't infect the rest of the population with their malady. What good comes of allowing someone to do something like this? I see quite a bit of harm in tolerating this behavior because if it's seen to be allowed then it takes a step closer to being normalized.
I get your point, but in normalizing such an extreme response we open the door for that extreme response to be used on us. "Executing people for being stupid or infectiously awful" will be used far more on people who question the Regime than it will on improving us by removing cancer.
Like, it'll probably reach that point eventually in our devolution. But we shouldn't make it easier for them to start offing us in our own haste.
I get your point, but in normalizing such an extreme response we open the door for that extreme response to be used on us.
I wish everyone thought like you.
I don't believe such thinking always holds up against an opponent who will violate every standard and create any precedent to destroy you, but it's the kind of thinking a stable and rational civilization needs.
Agreed that the extreme response isn't going to be productive, but I think it's worth recognizing the threat that allowing this sort of behavior poses to society and brainstorming some ways to actually address it and prevent this shit from propagating.
If we just allow this sort of thing to pass by with no repercussions then we will only get more of it.
And that's fine, we should try to prevent it. I just think outright opening the door to killing them (aka getting the government involved) can only go poorly.
Suicides are deliberately not reported on in any heavy manner by journalists specifically because it has a demonstrated and recorded trend of causing copy-cat suicides to occur.
My natural cynicism suggests that this is less due to any compassion on the news media part and more that they don't want to be sued into oblivion.
Propaganda works. They advertise this sort of thing because they want to see more of it. The ship has already sailed - if you want to strangle this sort of activity in the crib, you need to stop Journalists from reporting on it in any capacity.
...sadly, any solid, immediate option that comes to mind to achieve this swerves directly into... yeah, we're not going there right now. I'm nowhere near drunk enough.
That is a good point. I don't feel bad at all about being happy that this person is sacrificing themselves on the alter of woke, but these people are part of a dangerous and growing cult made up of people with influence, people that can vote, and people who have the power to sacrifice us too.
If you exist, near guarantee you got ancestors who done more evil shit than slavery. And if I were Chuck Palahniuk I'd also wager more than half of them sported a boner while doing said evil deed.
I could tell by one look at her. She's a woman, and all she cares about is she will be taken care of for the rest of her life, as she's of that class. I'm not even sure those kinds would let a woman give away the farm.
They said there are hierarchies of color within Grenada and discrimination follows from that.
MY GOD! YOU STUPID UTTERLY RETARDED VIRTUE SIGNALING TWIT!
What do you THINK of the racism of the UK against the IRISH, the ITALIANS and the FRENCH and the GERMANS is?! National governmental squabbles?! NO - IT'S "COLORISM"! And it was something that we had to finally put to rest (mostly) in western civilization over hundreds of years of work and sacrifice and for some godawfully insane reason you think it's only a concept that aggrieves black and brown people?!
When did intelligence and education utterly collapse like this - It's like we've raised generations of cargo cultists!
The infection of public education with leftist activists. The structure of education based on the prussian model, aimed at churning out unthinking serfs, not functional people. It's been a campaign of the communists for nearly a century, now.
Trevelyan says she was asked some difficult questions from sometimes skeptical students who wondered why she didn’t know about her family’s ties to slavery and how the size of her donation didn't reflect the riches that her family had received from the proceeds of slavery.
Show me da money
Earlier this fall, Caricom, the organization of Caribbean states, called on the governments of Britain, Spain, France and Denmark to pay what they estimate is $33 trillion in reparations.

It’s like she crawled out of Sowells vision of the anointed

LMAO, that's the way to do it. I wish all leftists would put their money where their mouth is and leave the rest of us alone.
She comes from a wealthy family and only put up about $130k. Shes not poor now.
I could tell by one look at her. She's a woman, and all she cares about is she will be taken care of for the rest of her life, as she's of that class. I'm not even sure those kinds would let a woman give away the farm.
Black people would get far more money if the wealthy Arab countries that owned black slaves paid "reparation" to them.
There are few descendants of Arab slaves.
Completely Brainwashed.
Liberal Women are the reason some people think women should never have the right to vote.
Incapable of thinking for themselves until 5 seconds before they are beheaded on a moroccan holiday to prove how peaceful the world is.
Haven't read the article, but I looked up her name, then found that she was married to a former president of ABC News.
It's easy to virtue signal, when you're living in the lap of luxury.

Show me da money
SHOW ME DA MONEYYYYY
More proof wokeism is a religious cult.
White women from rich families that landed cushy msm jobs really are going to destroy the world
Hey look at this champion not charging the taxpayer for it and having the decency to cancel herself not anyone else
We should be so lucky they all go this way
She's a complete lunatic and a blight on civilization, but some small respect is due for her actually putting her money where her mouth is.
It's not her money. She's throwing away another man's money she didn't rightly earn.
