LIFE AFTER QUITTING MY PHD PROGRAM: PROS, CONS & INSIGHTS 💭
1 year ago I left my MA-PhD program to be a full-time content creator and keynote speaker. It was a COMPLETE leap of faith. I had NO idea how it would go, if I would want to go back to school and, most importantly, if it was ultimately a HUGE mistake. Here are some of my honest insights 1 year after leaving my program ✨

    I'm a light skinned Turk, and according to my DNA tests, most of my genetics is from the the Middle East, Caucusus, and the Turkic countries from Central/East Asia. But I am considered "white passsing." Yet racially ambiguous I think because a lot of Latinos speak Spanish to me, assuming that I'm Latino.

    "Induan" or "black" What is the true meaning behind these names according to the Euro-pean construct? For starters.....there is no land called: (black). And where does "induan" come from? You claim Indian, yet American policies exist that go against your culture. So what's the difference? You can claim(Indian) ....but speak to the Indians who know history! And see what they telll you.....as if they are advanced as (blacks). Truth is, blacks and Indians come from 1x stock. There is no difference between *blacks and *Indians!

    Kamala is NOT black? She's an Irish Jamaican Hindu Indian her father said so HIMSELF. The only thing they had to do with black people is the slaves that his grandfather owned. Kamala's own father said it himself. You should've did a little more research before posting sweetie. And where did her southern accent come from? She has never had it go back and watch as mini pieces of film of her as you can.

  • @ixpol9163
    @ixpol9163 9 днів тому

    Let's put it back in the context it was intended(because a lot of us are multiracial).....Kamala is pandering. Straight up. How hard is that to understand? In all reality, regardless of what her background is, she's 100% POS. Nobody is faulting her for manipulating her way to the top. Most politicians do exactly that. But she is a dumpster of a human being. Take it from someone from California, who(as embarrassed as I am to admit it), made the mistake of voting for Biden/Harris in the last election. They destroyed our economy. I won't make that mistake again!!

    Nobody would even care what she is, but alot of black people will vote for her just because she is a black women. Meaning they are voting for her because she is like them. The rebuttal to that is she is not like them. She really didn’t come up the same way most black people did in this country and she is definitely not African American. She grew up around her Indian side.

    • @AngieCarr
      @AngieCarr 7 годин тому

      See that right there, I’ve always found that to be a bit contentious with mixed raced kids that fall under the “white passing” or “racial ambiguous” moniker. The constant “flip flopping” between groups as a way to “adapt” is really just another form of camouflage for certain groups of people that have that “benefit”. As a mixed race kid myself, I look very much like my mother (who is black) than my father (who is Latino with more euro centric features). And while I identify both sides, I am fully aware what society sees me as even if I don’t want them too (and it ain’t white that’s for damn sure). Flip flopping shouldn’t be seen as “cool” or “different” but just a another tool that a self aware person (with a conscious understanding an environment that is not always welcoming) can wield at their convenience. One should let it be known to any and everyone what they are fully not what they’d like that group to see them as. It makes people that do that come off more willfully deceptive than actually genuine.

    Get a grip lady she is not black. She is Indian/Jamaican. She is saying she's black to try to get more votes. That's the whole thing Trump is trying to say and you know that she's not a black woman. She's Indian/Jamaican and she hates black men just look at all the ones that she put in prison and wanted to keep in prison for cheap labor. Wake up lady. You must enjoy all that we've been through the past few years with this administration. You must enjoy paying a lot for your gas. You must enjoy paying a lot for your groceries. You really must if you want this woman to be our president. I really wish people like you did not have access to the internet.

    The audacity of all of these white folks to have "discourse" about Kamala Harris' racial identity as if they know Blackness better than we do 😂. I mean this in the most disrespectful way possible, if you are all up in the comments and you are not Black then stay outta Black folks' business. We are not entertaining this foolish argument because whether she is Black or not, a MAJORITY of Black people vote Democrat either way so this silly attempt to try and "sway" Black people away from voting for her lets US know that y'all don't know anything about us and need to mind your crusty business.
