Why is it that the more some white people study racism the less it actually helps

Because they aren't using the knowledge they attain in the way it was meant. Instead of using it to guide an examination of how the racist, sexist power structure has influenced -- and continues to effect -- their thinking, feelings, and understanding, thy use it as a cudgel against people they perceive to exhibit the traits they possess which need to be suppressed in order to avoid the self-examination required by feminist and racial justice teachings.

In other words, classic projection to draw their own attention away from the ugliness in themselves which they cannot accept as true.

IIRC he was also a Warren apologist of some form during the primary, though. I forget the details, but I distinctly remember him being dumb in some way and being really embarrassing in response to people.

After Warren made it clear she was full of poo poo he switched over to Sanders and came in with an opinion of "hey guys I'm sure you're glad to have us over as allies but now is not the time to be so rude to politicians and Democrats so you need to be more polite

" which was taken as badly as you would expect.

He's a huge naive dork and is often on the wrong side of stuff but I'll give him some credit that he is willing to sometimes realize he's wrong and that maybe politicians are lying more than pretty much every other worthless blue check mark account short of like Daou.

i think my eyes glazed over this sentence the first time because lmao how can you even

imagine any goal that people might want to achieve politically involving equality. class, race, gender, whatever.

most of the people who say they want to achieve that goal want to achieve it by lifting oppressed classes of people up to have the same rights/privileges/etc. as the non-oppressed, unless those rights or privileges are evil poo poo like slavery, landlords, etc..

but there will always be a group of wreckers who actually advocate for the opposite approach to equality: drag the privileged down, oppression for everybody. it's equal, after all. obviously, the right wing eats this poo poo up because it validates all of their moronic takes about how leftism will make everybody poor or whatever.

dressing in a normal rear end coat and mittens instead of a monocolor girlboss power suit or whatever is what everyone should have felt able to do in this situation, since it was the sensible clothing choice for the weather!! the goal should obviously be more coats and mittens, not fewer. but this is where the wrecker group kramers in with takes about how everyone should have to meet strict fashion standards because #girlbosses "have to" do that to be taken seriously (by the sexist old fucks in washington). well, and it's also a chance to make some thinly-veiled barbs implying that bernie is too working class, while pretending that it's actually bernie doing an elitism by wearing "expensive" clothes (which don't seem expensive at all to the dumb assholes who would take this article seriously, but very cheap, proving that bernie is a sexist elitist poor person)

Bernie's mittens: A lesson for S.F. high school students in subtle white privilege
by Ingrid Seyer-Ochi

_{_{Sen. Bernie Sanders, independent-Vt., wearing distinctive distrinct mittens that attracted much notice on social media, attended President Biden�s inauguration.

Ruth Fremson / New York Times}}

Three weeks ago I processed the Capitol insurrection with my high school students. Rallying our inquiry skills, we analyzed the images of that historic day, images of white men storming through the Capitol, fearless and with no forces to stop them. �This,� I said, �is white supremacy, this is white privilege. It can be hard to pinpoint, but when we see, it, we know it.�

Across our Zoom screen, they affirmed, with nods, thumbs-ups, and emojis of anger and frustration. Fast-forward two weeks as we analyzed images from the inauguration, asking again, �What do we see?� We saw diversity, creativity and humanity, and a nation embracing all of this and more. On the day of the inauguration, Bernie Sanders was barely on our radar. The next day, he was everywhere.

�What do we see?� I asked again. We�ve been studying diversity and discrimination in the United States; my students were ready. What did they see? They saw a white man in a puffy jacket and huge mittens, distant not only in his social distancing, but in his demeanor and attire.

We took in the meaning of the day, the vulnerability of democracy, the power of ritual, traditions and the peaceful transition of power.

We talked about gender and the possible meanings of the attire chosen by Vice President Kamala Harris, Dr. Jill Biden, the Biden grandchildren, Michelle Obama, Amanda Gorman and others. We referenced the female warriors inspiring these women, the colors of their educational degrees and their monochromatic ensembles of pure power.

And there, across all of our news and social media feeds, was Bernie: Bernie memes, Bernie sweatshirts, endless love for Bernie. I puzzled and fumed as an individual as I strove to be my best possible teacher. What did I see? What did I think my students should see? A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.

I mean in no way to overstate the parallels. Sen. Sanders is no white supremacist insurrectionist. But he manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel.

�When you see privilege, you know it,� I�d told them weeks before. Yet, when they saw Sen. Bernie Sanders manifesting privilege, when seemingly no one else did, I struggled to explain that disparity. I am beyond puzzled as to why so many are loving the images of Bernie and his gloves. Sweet, yes, the gloves, knit by an educator. So �Bernie.�

Not so sweet? The blindness I see, of so many (Bernie included), to the privileges Bernie represents. I don�t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie. Unless those same folk had privilege. Which they don�t.

Ingrid Seyer-Ochi is a former UC Berkeley and Mills College professor, ex-Oakland Unified School District principal and current San Francisco Unified School District high school teacher.

Takeaways:
-Analyzing what women wear is social science. This is especially true of the colors, which have hidden meanings like Peggy or Joan's attire on an episode of Mad Men.
-Bernie's approximately $800 coat was too shabby looking. Poor people would wear more expensive clothing, despite being poor.
-Social distancing at an event during a pandemic is actually white privilege. He should've open mouth kissed everyone in the audience.
-San Francisco professors are paid to do this poo poo.
-Joe Biden is a rapist.
