Michelle Wolf: Titanic Explains How White Women Are the Problem | Netflix Is A Joke 

Absolutely genius. It really turns our heads to see that women’s suffrage wasn’t just about women’s rights. It was about getting white women in the slave wage workforce too. Tricked ya!

@@deepinmind83 It was about white women getting their share of the spoils and an economic upper hand in family relationships.

I watched the video

Who calls you mom Adam.

@@deepinmind83 sufferage was about controlling men since the WHOLE reason to get women to vote was so they could vote on banning things that's how prohibition happened and sparked the whole war on drugs. It was a swerve from those rich white women towards all other women.

That's exactly how today's generation would behave..........trust me!

@@Backstreets247 The sad thing is that if he didn't see it, the Titanic would have hit the iceberg square on and would probably have been fine. The ship veered off to avoid it and was hit bit an underwater "outcrop" of ice that punctured the weakest part of the hull. Ally that to the design flaws of internal bulkheads that didn't completed enclose various portions of the ship, there was nothing to stop water from taking the ship down.

@@virtualatheist Makes sense!

@@Backstreets247 Yeah, we would have... because it is his job.

@@StephanFitzgeraldTay Yeah! That's what I'm about.............the attitude!

Colonisation

MeToo Movement reference

That's exactly what women did to gay clubs.

I love the way she says that.

When you keep most of the population poor, people will put up with being raped by their husbands as long as he's got enough money to keep them fed. That's not exactly comfort. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a great portrayal of what it's like to choose between dying on the streets as a spinster who is not allowed to have a sustaining career and marrying a stranger who only wants you because you're pretty. I would rather die on the streets than be raped in a mahogany bed, but some women could handle it.

@@LammasDeluge omg it’s COMEDY!! Relax you took this way too seriously hun 😂

@@Tinker-xr1gi There's ALWAYS one pedantic, humorless person.

Both positions are true. Just because there are hardships that one group faces doesn't mean they don't have privileges. Nobody is claiming that white women have it easy, they just don't have to deal with being affected by racism *on top* of being affected by sexism.

I would watch that.

I'd watch that

Totally watch that.

@Nick Smith If an idea doesn't get promoted from theorerical in 5 years, it should NOT be taught as the going assumption.

Whether it really happened or not, I was offended by her making light of mass murder and genocide. I'm only 1/8 Indian, and that bothered me. There was a lot of suffering involved.

@@tompalmer5986 What? Too soon?

Tom Palmer - So am I, it was a joke, and a completely obvious one at that.

Settle down...

No.

Points.... but no actual solutions.

@@estebansteverincon7117 At least shes talking about it. Alot of people wont even acknowledge that these issues exist. And as they say, the first step to recovery is admitting the problem

It's almost like she's a stand-up comedian.

Damn. Well found,

Might sound too similar, that would have gone over a few people's heads

Ride or fly was my other thought here

Ride and bye

That was the point of "The Help" (book and movie).

White women wanted jobs OUTSIDE of domestic service, they already had that.

Uhh

@@SovereignStatesman I also tend to enjoy (over) analyzing things😛, but yes, non-domestic work was the main goal, but this joke aims at the often neglected difference in how it actually affected women of different races differently... White and non-white women wanted non-domestic work options, but the important differences (to non-white women) were the point of this joke. Ironically, you're repeating that neglect by moving past those differences onto the concerns of the majority 😋 (still genuinely interesting to think about, even if it's over a joke)

@ryan norris that's sadly quite insane. On a side note, why would I hate my own δεν καταλάβαινες Ελληνικά... Majority is math, there are more. I'm a statistician and could have said Mode :P You harbour quite a lot of negative emotion if that's your interpretation. Evil? The joke was very specific to women's rights in the US. You've gone off the rails. A side bit of info: minorities deal with majorities more often than majorities deal with minorities (simple probability and reality), minorities are exposed to the majority and get to see a wide range of the majority population (racial, religious, cultural etc) and dealing with a majority for so long in addition to their own minority, they rarely develop generalized feelings about any majority. Why? Because they deal with a lot of different ones on a regular basis, so it's harder to harbour stereotypes.

Ikkkkmkj mmm

Gary Gumbs morning I would

😄😄😄😄

I would seat here and listen to all her millenial history women jokes😄😄😄

Gotta say, this was my takeaway from the video.

Yes they have, my friend! Yes, they have.

You're a fcking idiot if you think this stupid woman is even remotely funny. Grow up chump

I like when the white mom called the baby crying "yucky" lmao

I've known some of these families...😢

That was fantastic omg.

Nooooooooooooooo

What should they have done?

@@JamesPerrone-qq1ph I think it's more a comment on the women who enjoyed the lives of privilege, who are now turning on the men. Ever watch a classic film, "Zorro: the Gay Blade?" At the climax the villain's wife abandons him as well... problem is, he might have been the one taxing and oppressing the people, but she was the one using the tax money for lavish parties to show off her jewelry.

@Carlos Rodriguez WTF?!?!?

@Carlos Rodriguez slave owners werent cruel?!?! The very act of owning other human is the definition of cruelty, if that's something that YOU don't get then you're an idiot

@Carlos Rodriguez oh we understand, we just think you're crazy. If you're gonna pick and choose any point of time in the past and anywhere in the world to model your values today, why stop at 17th century Africa? Go back further in time during the feudal era, anyone who is not a noble are essentially slaves to the monarch! Did we forget the Great Roman Empire, slaves everywhere! Or let's do by the ancient Greeks, China or Egypt, have we forgotten about all the other slaves? Oh let's go back further, forget civilisation or living in a society, live in a cave my dude! Forget any rule of law and social contracts, the only thing that matters is SURVIVAL! Whatever you can make others do, you can do! What can be "too cruel" to the ancient cavemen, they don't even know what cruel means! Forget words, morals and ethics, be a caveman. Anything more is just "empathy gone stupid".

Yeah, like the fact that the history of slavery in America is mostly about keeping your white woman happy! That's factual. That's honesty.

Andrew Flowers Yeah, well except they fucked that up as well!

@@DR-nh6oo so did the blks

At that point.........you would want even their lifeboats to sink!

This actually made you laugh audibly? How?

@@negativeindustrial I was laughing so loudly I was worried about waking the kids in the other room

@@FreePercussion You must be the type of person who claps happily when you hear you’ll be needing a colonoscopy.

@@negativeindustrial LMAO. Hey, I hear the drugs are pretty good at least...

Yes they are!!! Since when are (white) women the poster children for what is fair and just and who gave them the bull horn to speak for all those who have been discriminated against?!

It IS struggle if you are forced to do things you do not want to do just because society says so. White women were oppressed in their own ways! All oppression IS oppression.

@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 Many if not most of a white woman's oppression was removed decades ago. Society adores white feminine traits both physical and characteristically. Colored women are forced to meet a white woman's appearance to be seen as "professional". Men of color have been brainwashed to prefer white women's physical traits. Examples can be found within American culture but I think the best examples come from foreigners who move to America. They come with pre conceived notions that white = better. This regressive and oppressive thinking has been propagated and spoon fed into everything America touches.

@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 Whoosh

@Jason Cougar whoosh

really?? She looks obviously white to me. Wild

Did you mistake her for Michelle Obama???? lol

Same! I thought she was mixed or something. I'm black so I have no excuse for this egregious error.

Tan white? Lol, if we have to discuss a persons color before we treat a person with respect or no respect we know we're fucked as a culture

You know, I vaguely remember her saying that she's black.

Right?! 😂 she’s always kinda yelling, too

Her voice isnt perfect but she is perfectly brilliant. Wonder what your voice is like.

​@@lk969even she acknowledges her voice isn't all that

I read your comment in total symphony with Michelle as she said it 😂

No.

@@lionofapollo4636 No, she's white. She's been mistaken for African American because of her skin colour and hair texture, but she's white and considers herself as such. (Her hair texture is actually not uncommon if you've got Scottish and/or Irish heritage).

She is white.

It’s her voice. I love it 😂

Absolutely agree!!! She should be annoying and I know this, but she is funny as shit.

It doesn’t settle with the crowd I think but I like it too

True,the material mostly carries the delivery.

Never so many, have known so little, thinking they know so much.

I thought the joke would have made more sense for a 20-yo gen Zer, not a 30-something millenial.

Accurate 💕

@@fakshen1973 Yeah that's how I feel about Boomers

@@fakshen1973 right - that's why they are taking on climate change - bunch of know nothings lol.

same here, she's hilarious

Don't find many female comedians that funny tbh but Michelle Wolf is absolutely hilarious, loved that correspondents dinner omg that was the best lol.

@@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347I think you not finding woman funny is your issue, not their lack of talent.

@@HFFCANADA Whether its my issue or theirs, I still don't find most that funny. If that gives you bad feels too bad.

Change the "Tampons" to "pads" and the "Chardonnay" to Jack and that'd be paradise.

Dark humor often makes people uncomfortable but her joke was brilliant and will stand the test of time.

Truth is it didn’t happen germ theory didn’t exist yet and small pox’s can’t be transferred through blankets and this is coming from my very liberal Women college professor So yeah.

@@samsam828 web.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/MayorSmallpox.pdf I don't feel like reading this so could you interpret it for me thx.

@@johntucker3695 Sure, no problem. After reading that "study", the author concluded that it "may have been based on historical fact" although they don't provide evidence to support that claim. They do provide several secondhand accounts of tales told later. Given the scientific knowledge of germ theory, and the lack of historical accounts of smallpox sabotage, it is a reasonable conclusion, held by most, is that the accounts are fabricated and it was simply tragic and unintended consequences to actions.

@@D_Boone Thank for that

What did she mean by that?

@@Xc662_ White women during slavery would have the black women help them give birth, then become a lifelong nanny. Often even breastfeed them. Imagine having a nanny that you could beat to do anything. These women would spend more time taking care of children that weren’t theirs rather than their own children.

charnae young from slavery til like the 1970s pimpin 💯 both my grandmas where maids or mammies wateva u wanna call em

@@pashadyne so I've been told.It comes in handy. I catch them off guard and then lay my charm on. By then its all smooth sailing. (👀 my channel)

They dont mean all the impoverished white women worldwide.

This is true of many racial (and to some extend ethnic) stereotypes in the U.S., and beyond. Comedians just reflect it back at us, particular because the genre often depends on - and plays with expectations about - (over)generalization and stereotypes. Middle and upper-middle class (bourgeois) experiences tend to get reproduced most easily, and universalized. If you read a popular book like Stuff White People Like, you'll see that many (if certainly not all) of the generalizations could be said of upper-middle class people of any "race," and that they tend to reflect class distinctions as much as, if not more than, ethnic or racial formations. That said, ethnicity, class, gender, and race intersect in complicated ways, and can easily reinforce one another. I think some of the confusion about MW being "white" has precisely to do with this assumption that being ethnically "other" (i.e. not-WASP in the U.S.) means one is also racially "other." It certainly might, particularly in terms of self-identity, but ethnicity has more to do with A) ancestry/heredity B) "subjective" cultural identification; while "race" needs to be understood as quintessentially about "external," historical, and inter-subjective "racialization" (how does the state, and its citizens, construct a sense of "self" through racial divisions of "whiteness" and "blackness"). Ethnicity can't be easily separated from that process, but it's not reducible to it, either Obviously these are still generalizations, and many people spend their whole lives trying to understand and analyze these topics, but I think (hope?) it's worth mentioning.

They're trying to relate to the audience and the poor ones can't afford tickets.

@@mp2557 that is true of non whites too. Look at Kamala Harris. And it’s true of both men and women.

Stereotypes exist for a reason get over your pc hate.

Agreed. So true.

True. The depth and nuance cuts right through the high pitched voice, which can be uncomfortable to listen to.

@@acctsys exactly what I was thinking

@@Parpeing Goodnight, innocent lamb

Exactly while we can nit pick societal issues all day we don't critique our first world excess. Furthermore we don't acknowledge what our consumerism causes globally and the many human atrocities committed for Americans to live this excess lifestyle.

Calm down sir.

@@josuem7398 You make a fine point there. Unfortunately American Exceptionalism wouldn't have it. An idea needs an act to 'make believe' By the way, there's nothing wrong with consumerism but its excesses which create a feedback loop of unchecked greed, ego and foolishness.
