He gives a pretty direct threat at the end of that video to "take civilization back" from women and black people at the end, right after complaining that nobody's offered him a job for doing his youtube videos, even though he works really hard on them. I think he's going into spree shooter territory.

This was a paid update for patrons of their movie.

It's always been amazing to me how much the idea of "darkest Africa", as in a land of savages without history, took hold of people considering that the Berlin conference was in 1884 and states like Dahomey and the Asante kingdom are only overtaken by the colonial powers in the late 1890s/early 1900's.

He just doesn't want to admit that one of the richest men in human history was a black Muslim.Political Whores posted:It's always been amazing to me how much the idea of "darkest Africa", as in a land of savages without history, took hold of people considering that the Berlin conference was in 1884 and states like Dahomey and the Asante kingdom are only overtaken by the colonial powers in the late 1890s/early 1900's. It's not like these times are lost in the misty depths of history, there's loving photo evidence of complex societies available on the internet right now. It's mostly due to Eurocentrism. People like Aurini don't accept that those societies were complex because they lack socio-cultural values common in Western societies.

1stGear posted:Also, Aurini passed going into spree shooter territory a long time ago. It's just more proof that he is the real oppressed minority while dominant women like Anita Sarkeesian get jobs because their youtube videos show competent and dynamic lighting, editing, camera-work, and postproduction. In distinction, he is unfairly persecuted because his poorly lit, single-take monologues haven't gotten him noticed as a competent filmmaker, irrespective of the fact that he has no training or practical experience in film. Also she's smart and has a formal education while he's a college dropout who doesn't understand why women back away from him whenever he tries his sick seduction moves on them.

Also, I was unaware that Aurini was a dropout, but that makes sense. Anyone know what he studied? Maybe he paid for his schooling with all that money he made in the  CANADIAN MILITARY He was in the military, wasn't he? For like a year? I imagine he killed fitty men. With his fists. While smoking.

Silver2195 posted:Isn't that the person who claims Beethoven was black? Derail: Yeah, and they got rightfully burned for it, finally smouldering to "Well, German is a nationality not a race, and he might probably be considered mulatto today because he was kinda swarthy and you should probably pay attention to other composers of color *grumble grumble*", which, fair enough, I guess. Note that no music historians consider this theory seriously at all, though it has cropped up regularly for years and years. http://www.academia.edu/4074689/Black_Beethoven_and_the_Racial_Politics_of_Music_History quote:The logic goes something like this: Beethoven’s family, by way of his mother, traced its roots to Flanders, which was for sometime under Spanish monarchical rule, and because Spain maintained a longstanding historical connection to North Africa through the Moors, somehow a single germ of blackness trickled down to our beloved Ludwig. This very theory—that Beethoven was descended from the Moors—has re-appeared in several works throughout the twentieth century. Jamaican historian Joel Augustus Rogers (1880–1966) popularized this theory in several writings around midcentury, but the birth of the myth can be traced back further to approximately 1915 or even earlier according to music historian Dominique-René de Lerma, the world’s leading scholar on classical composers of color. Rogers asserted [...] that Beethoven—in addition to Thomas Jefferson, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Robert Browning, and several popes, among others—was genealogically African and thus black. The rest of the art history in the blog is still a nice palliative when compared to the "Only white people lived in Europe, all blacks were slaves" thing. /derail

Aurini is so clearly a nerd who is pretending to bat way above his average. His life would be improved if he actually left his home and attempted to engage with people with the intention of learning about who they fundamentally are rather than sitting in front of a webcam while pretending to enjoy cigarettes and whiskey for half an hour.

Similarly, Alexander Pushkin, who is considered to be the greatest Russian poet of all time if not the greatest Russian writer. Wikipedia says his great-grandfather was brought over from Africa, so that makes him 1/4 of African descent, right? I never read him, but a professor of mine specialized in his work and mentioned that his heritage was pretty well known and people often made fun of his lips. In response, he dueled people all the time. Goodness, an important part of western culture being influenced by Africa?! UNSPEAKABLE.

Maybe someone should start a thread about black people who did cool things or who people generally don't realize were black (if there's not one already), "PYF Black People Who Did Neat Things" or something. I'd be interested in it - I read a biography on Dumas a recently (The Black Count) and it was really interesting, and I had no idea that Dumas was black - I just thought he had crazy Einstein hair or something. I'd certainly get more entertainment and edification out of that thread than watching hours of Aurini's videos.

Apparently he was raised by lesbians and hates them for "depriving him of a father". Also apparently DADT was the only thing saving his precious booty from being ravaged by predatory gays?

No he was raised by lesbians. He's a bisexual dude with a wife. Because you need to have a man and a woman to have a child.

Oh man he has a "guest article" about anti-LGBT protests in HK and Taiwan. This'll be fun. I skimmed it already and def. want to say two things: 1) these assholes are a tiiiiiiiiiiiiny minority that no-one takes seriously in Taiwan, and 2):quote:As a translator I can smell that the whole LGBT agenda is in fact an imperial expansion, especially when you look at language. I once doubted my translating skills, as whenever I translate LGBT-related news, I have never found a good way to translate the English words "couple" and "parent(s)" into Chinese

coyo7e posted:...Kinda like Robert Lopez being persecuted by the LGBT inquisition? You don't know the half of it. I could make a whole thread about the hosed up race relations here in Canada. Canadian history is a long story about a country's quest to get rid of the First Nations, or failing that, at least getting them out of sight. The short version is that First Nations in Canada are the rough equivalent of blacks in the States (Ghettoization, high incarceration rate, incredibly high suicide rate, reservations without running water, and so on), and we are just as insane about Muslims. Of course, the only reason the modern United States isn't quite so anti First Nations is because they killed enough for them not to be considered a threat to the average rich white guy.

Having just tracked down that article, the more I read of this guy the more his protests about not being someone who helps promote anti-gay movements worldwide is more absurd than ever. Like, there he brags about translating an anti-gay speech. The doublethink required for this boggles my mind.
