Then I could translate Gormans speech using Google Translate.That, at the very least, would require the person doing the translating being better at English than average. — Benkei
We're not talking about an event that happened in the Netherlands. We taking about an event that happened in America that is translated to other languages, not just Dutch, dumb-ass.That said, I'm obviously less qualified to comment on such experience than other Americans, but more qualified to comment on it than you do on the Netherlands. — Benkei

Then any white person in America that knows Dutch should be able to translate it.I can comment on the US experience because I'm intimately familiar with its language and familiar with its culture and history because I read local, untranslated sources. — Benkei
Again, we're talking about events that happened in the US, not the Netherlands, that need to be translated into Dutch. So me knowing anything about the Netherlands is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the Netherlands seems to be having a tough time finding someone that can translate the spoken word of a black American.You don't know shit about the Netherlands and even on this narrow subject failed to get your facts straight, first by basing yourself on a few foreign news sources and then failing to know Rijneveld doesn't publish in English. — Benkei

No. I'm not. I'm asking why CNN and all the other sites are making it about color, and why you can't provide evidence to the contrary (because there isn't any).never said that and again you're trying to make it about colour. — Benkei
Gorman positioneert zich nadrukkelijk als iemand met een natuurlijk bewustzijn van haar plek in de voortdurende strijd van zwart Amerika. Een bewustzijn, geworteld in persoonlijke historie, ervaringsdeskundigheid en kennis, dat zij onmiskenbaar deelt met zwarte dichters overzee. Zaïre Krieger bijvoorbeeld, of Babs Gons, net als Gorman spokenwordartiesten, voor wie de geschreven tekst zich voegt naar het ritme en de cadans van het gesproken woord. Relevant, evenals hun tweetaligheid, aangezien Rijneveld zichzelf (oergeestig) ‘de Louis van Gaal van de letteren’ noemt qua beheersing van het Engels. Het is dus flauw de critici huidskleurobsessie te verwijten, terwijl zij overduidelijk doelen op zeer specifieke ervaring en vakkennis van zwarte dichters in relatie tot Gormans werk.
Dat besefte Meulenhoff zelf ook, want de uitgever wilde ‘sensitivityreaders’ inzetten. Een lachwekkende term, waarmee feitelijk werd erkend dat er (vermoedelijk zwarte) meelezers nodig zouden zijn die een grotere affiniteit hebben met de materie, om tot de beste vertaling te komen. Die mochten dan achterin de bus meekijken: gênant, maar ook peak ‘progressief’ Nederland. — Johan Fretz

LOL, the written word is read at the pace of the reader, not at the pace of the speaker that is being translated. "Spoken-word-artist"? Phhhah! Art is in the eye of the beholder.voor wie de geschreven tekst zich voegt naar het ritme en de cadans van het gesproken woord. — Johan Fretz
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5374754001If a hit man is hired and he kills somebody, the hit man goes to jail. But not only does the hit man go to jail, but the person who hired them does. It was an attack carried out on Jan. 6 and a hit man sent them. — US Capitol Police Sgt. Harry Dunn
Why Nos is actually right:
Identity politics is ultimately at odds with a social justice agenda. Social justice can only be achieved through broad social solidarity. The more we pit ourselves against one another, the more impotent we become.
Those who draw you to focus on white vs black are appealing to your base, fearful nature. They're inviting you to turn away from the only path to truly improving things. They're leading you to give up because "it's always been this way.'. Roll in your victimhood.
Who stands to lose if you embrace social solidarity? The elite. They need for you to believe that only money is power. — frank

So what changed your mind, Frank, in the past 5 months?Absolutely. Maybe you haven't heard: Humans share over 99% of their DNA. Focusing on the small differences, which are just surface level, just shows how shallow you are. — Harry Hindu
And isn't there supposed to be a money trail between the hit man and who sends the hit man? — Harry Hindu
Wait, who sent who? The hit man is the one that is sent to make the hit, but on Jan. 6th the hit man is the one that sent them? Who did the hit man send, if it wasn't the hit man? Typically inconsistent gibberish made by those that are motivated not by truth, but by politics. — Harry Hindu
So what changed your mind, Frank, in the past 5 months? — Harry Hindu
How do you ask about a money trail and then complain about an analogy? The criteria for an analogy isn't a one for one literal comparison. Why not just make a needless personal attack without injecting additional ignorance. It's too much of a give away.And isn't there supposed to be a money trail between the hit man and who sends the hit man? Very poor analogy made here, but what would you expect from those driven by hate and not truth? — Harry Hindu
So string theory is what changed your mind? I don't get it. Is string theory right or wrong? It can't be both, but it has to be one.It's like why is string theory right? bla bla. Why is string theory wrong? anti-bla anti-bla. — frank

Not hate. Logic. Given what you said, I don't expect you to understand the difference.I read this as your failure to understand English. Inasmuch as you seem to understand English, your criticism must based on something else. Given your invective and argument, that must be hate. If not hate, please make explicit what. — tim wood
The same can be said of Biden, who's been in power for 50 years, hasn't done jack for minorities except insult them, yet they keep voting for the promises made by the Democratic party. The only promises kept by either party is that they keep making you out to be the victim of someone else.That’s the saddest part, Trump didn’t do jack for his base and none of the wealthy who scored big under his administration stormed the capital. — praxis
