Oh wow she just now dropped a new video laying out a lot of her theory in one place.
It seems like this is something of anti-Yakub theory, a modern well-informed reaction to it that proposes the actual proximate mechanism for creating white people: heavy metal poisoning causing DNA damage causing albinism. This was initially an accident, then may have been done deliberately (unclear by who or why), and is now starting to happen accidentally again to both Black Americans and to Africans (who are, I gather from other videos, unrelated to each-other). She's very mad at people who are still insisting on the old theory that white people came from (Yakubian?) genetic engineering mixing animals with human DNA, which she's disproven.
So it all started in Tanzanesia, where artisinal mining exposes everybody to heavy metals accidentally causing birth defects like albinism. There is still some further level of deliberateness here (there's a "they" doing it) which I don't understand. But pale-skinned people are actually a very recent development and come from this Tanzanesia heavy metal poisoning. Albinos are still to this day treated badly there, which is why white people hate black people: in revenge for their recent memory of being abused and mutilated as albinos by Africans. And it's starting to happen to Black Americans too because seafood boils are exposing them to heavy metals causing vitiligo.
She doesn't actually get in to the Native American stuff in this one, but my head-canon is that it's something like: everybody everywhere was black, but then everyone other than Africans and (completely seperately with no relation) the real Native Americans (Black Americans) got this heavy metal poisoning and turned pale. Then at some point later the fake Native Americans (Siberian/Asian, she mentioned this in another video I skimmed but I'm not going to find it again) invade or are imported or something, and invent/are forced to believe the lie that they were there first.
From some screenshots she included, it seems at least some of this is LLM-potentiated.
I haven't encountered that yet. This woman's version seems to be that all non-black people have hereditary environmental poisoning that damaged their ability to produce sacred melanin. There is a video where she appears to momentarily imply it was deliberate, though does not name a perpetrator (maybe a community effort; very sophisticated systems thinking).
It seems like a big part of the originating narcissism here might be about distinguishing themselves from Africans, who they've decided are completely unrelated parasitic interlopers out to steal Black Americans' birthright, wealth and identity (this woman is very loose with deploying the p-word).
A good LLM swears up and down that "kang" meaning something like "presenting others' work as your own" existed entirely unrelated to and predating "we wuz kangz", in the Android ROM community. This seems very implausible.
AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) was a major project from 2011. This thread attests "kang" among Android ROM enthusiasts in 2010 and does not reflect knowledge of that type of humor. No etymology is solidly attributed anywhere (that XDA thread suggests MMO slang "gank", wiktionary claims (unsourced) an otherwise-lost username of a guy who stole stuff without attribution). 2010 feels too early to me for "we wuz kangs", but then I reflect on other things that were around at the time and am not so sure.
Can anyone speak on this?
An entertaining new variety of kang:
Two random things:
1. The infamous "Yes, Diversity Is About Getting Rid Of White People (And That's A Good Thing)" by Emily Goldstein was not, as I'd always suspected, written by Nick Mullen, but rather by even more infamous troll Joshua Goldberg, whose arrest you might remember reading about in 2015.
He recently got out of prison, and has a substack and is a mod on rdrama.

2. You might recall SolidGoldMagikarp, and the mysterious GPT-3 "glitch tokens". The most powerful glitch token was petertodd.
Peter Todd has just been accused of being Satoshi by a documentary that just came out.

An obscure figure from the old Alt Right takes the Hanania Pill.
The main reason I am posting this is not that, but to highlight his insider's history of the 2015-2017 era Alt Right which makes up much of an accompanying article.
1: Hanania's apparent survival of cancellation for past extremism via telling his story and disavowing his most extreme past views may have been quietly influential. This is the 2nd guy I've seen do it without even being forced to by exposure.
2: This guy claims to have been a quietly very influential figure and tells a story where his actions had a very outsized effect on the world. Maybe truly, maybe not. But his general account of events besides his own part in them is an insider's history of that much-mythologized period of the Alt Right, which was very influential and did have have a very outsized effect on the world, and his account seems to be a reasonably well-calibrated explanation of how their influence rippled into events.
It probably didn't hurt that the direct target was something that people whose self-perception was still as Stewart/Colbert liberals wouldn't hit a mental tripwire about, allowing it to break through to the second level where some suppressed thoughts might still linger. Strangely enough, I bet a Robin DiAngelo type would actually have something interesting to say on the matter.
I wonder whether Sweden Yes/Captain Sweden played some quietly significant role in the birth of the Alt-Right as a viral internet phenomenon.
Obviously racist memes have been around forever, but my sense (perhaps naively) was that people who posted eg. A Wyatt Mann cartoons mostly did it as edgelord humor without really buying into it. As crazy artifacts, at a level of remove. I don't think that was the case with Sweden Yes/Captain Sweden. I don't think anybody posted it who didn't mostly believe in it, and I don't think anybody who found it funny didn't end up a little bit more convinced, and I can't think of a meme prior to it that was similar.
