Tony Robbins calls bullshit on #metoo movement

[Mr. Met]

White men are going to chip away at this movement.





Motivational speaker Tony Robbins is being slammed on social media after comments he made about the Me Too movement during a seminar last month. NowThis footage shows Robbins talking to a crowd in San Jose, California denouncing the movement.

“If you use the #MeToo movement to try to get significance and certainty by attacking and destroying someone else, you haven’t grown an ounce. All you’ve done is basically use a drug called significance to make yourself feel good,” Robbins said.

The celebrity life coach told the audience he wasn’t “knocking the #MeToo movement,” but was “knocking victimhood.” He addressed the crowd, asking them to consider the impact of it while saying “anger is not empowerment.”

“Who should throw the stone? You shouldn’t throw that stone if you live in a fucking glass house,” Robbins said. “Is there any one of us that hasn’t done something that we prefer we’d not or that we’re embarrassed by or that was hurtful even if we didn’t intend it to?”

“Certainly there are people who are using it for their own personal devices, but there are also a significant number of people who are using it not to relive whatever may have happened to them, but to make it safe for the young women,” McCool said. “So that they don’t have to feel unsafe.”

Robbins asked McCool to hold out her fist when Robbins used his fist to press back against hers. Robbins proceeded to physically push McCool back when he explained that “when you push someone else it doesn’t make you more safe, it just makes them angry.”

“You are a leader and an influential man and you are doing a disservice, in my opinion, to the #MeToo movement,” responded McCool.

Can’t waste that much time watching... cliff notes please

Peace,

That probably means that he’s got some sexual harassment skeletons in his closet.

Hes right

The best these White Privileged Males can do is STFU until this shit blows over. They got away with this shit practically forever and now when the Karmic bill comes due they whine like the bitches they truly are. Considering all they have gotten away with they should pay the bill and add nice 25% tip and move on.

 

[Naha-Nago]

*two cents*

 

[mariano42]

I wish people will move on from that shit. Its had it's run. Lives destroyed, legit pervs removed, white women are more sensitive now, companies scared, innocent careers ruined (Aziz) and etc. Let that shit die already.

 

[trstar]

White men are so fragile. Now they are trying to convince the victims to let them get away with their bullshit.

“But what good will it do to hold me accountable? You’re just being seduced by victim hood, just move on....”

FOH with that shit. They have been playing that same card with the slavery arguement

 

[ZuluSam]

Fuck him...the same thing privileged white males say when they are confronted with the evilness of their ancestors against people of color and indigenous peoples all over the colonized world. "Oh, he played the race card. Oh, he played the victim card." Naw muchafucka, I spoke facts and your simple tender soul can't deal with facts....

 

[Multi - Personality]

*two cents*

I concur

 

[MYSTIC]

Makes total damn sense, but watch these chicks run off with this shit and try to blow it up.

[0utsyder]

Just like with anything you can use it to good or bad. There are people that use MeToo for good Harvey Weinstein. And for bad Aziz Ansari. Thing is the people that back this need to call the people that are using it for bad out. Our movements would hold so much more power if we didn't jump right in face first for everyone that calls on us (i.e. OJ, Tawana Brawley) Police would get such a better reputation if they called out their bullshyt officers

the people who cheer this on are the SAME people who cheered this on...

but don't see the hypocrisy

 

[BlueCarpetTreatment]

Anger used in the right space gets shit done. But too angry blinds you of the real purpose of your anger, in which instead of you burning down the right people you burn down those innocent as well. You have to comprehend the use of anger.

Kinda like the riots in ferguson, baltimore and LA??

If tony robbins said that about any one of those situations there would be MAJOR backlash on the board. Lets just change a few words and see if you still agree with robbins..

“If you use the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement to try to get significance and certainty by attacking and destroying someone else, you haven’t grown an ounce. All you’ve done is basically use a drug called significance to make yourself feel good,” Robbins said.

The celebrity life coach told the audience he wasn’t “knocking the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement,” but was “knocking victimhood.” He addressed the crowd, asking them to consider the impact of it while saying “anger is not empowerment.”

Robbins asked A BLACK PERSON to hold out his fist when Robbins used his fist to press back against his. Robbins proceeded to physically push THE BLACK PERSON back when he explained that “when you push someone else it doesn’t make you more safe, it just makes them angry.”

If a white man told black people some shit like that you and everyone on board and black social media would be up in arms about that... but a man told a woman that and now cats are all philosophical and zen about it and say its the truth

making that change in wording (and I didn't have to change that many words the context is STILL the same)...do you think he's still correct in his assessment??

Hes a white man.. Of course he does. No one has a more entitled mindset than them . But if these bitches thought white men would give them an unlimited time frame to cry rape then they were sadly mistaken. They have a defined window to get these #MeToo shots off.. After that they gonna be called to the carpet. And look for a new term to be coined to discredit them too. Same white man that bought you "reverse racism" gonna come with "reverse sexism" or "man shaming" to shut these bitches up. Dont belee me jus watch.

Lol don't you notice all the black males it effects too? If you actually listen to what he says it makes sense to #youtoo

Everything has a CONSEQUENCE

Russell Simmons
Tavis Smiley

To name a few. Black men who run companies who have been accused , and convisted publicly.


What he said is that more men aresayijg they won't even hire women to avoid having to deal with being accused of something later that either they didn't do, or the situation is a lot more complex , and the women can conveniently leave out the part they played in it.

When men start hiring less women to avoid the headache, it will cause women a whole different problem, so all this man said was to consider the approach. The title is misleading.

Actually , yeah. But I've been saying that anyways

Well he said a little more than that. He pretty much accused women of playing victim and ultimate creating more problems for themselves. Like i said tho, white men arent gonna let you hold them accountable but for so long..

You took what he said exactly like the women in the crowd. And I don't see how you think this will only effect white men, even after all of this but oh well.

I took it how it was delivered. And i dont know when i said it will only effect white men but you are the white mans advocate so i will leave all that stuff up to you. ..

 

[exiledking]

the fact that you’re more concerned with the fact that a white man said it than what is actually said, shows me all I need to know.

I know you THINK you have some kind of deed on Blackness and what it is, because it's your go to defense all the time, but ya don't. It's an old trick, but I know that it's the only one you know so I tolerate it from time to time.

How can you intake the point without acknowledging that it and messages of its kind are almost exclusively delivered by white men?

Why does my pointing that base component offend you so much?

Why are you always so quick to defend all things white and male?

Why do you equate calling an obvious agenda and time old tactic as my attempt to be a beacon for all things black and blackness?

Your insecurities are as transparent as window glass my man. Seek help.

This guy is actually the first publivc figure to even say it.


Before that it was already said on this board a ton of times. But NOW, it's something only white men say lol

I'm not offended at all. It's just not true.

And the rest of the shit yiou said is irrelevent

 

[Amajorfucup]

Whether he is or isnt isnt really the issue. My point is white male pathology wont allow them to be held accountable for anything for any duration of time and that a white male backlash is coming.

the bottomline is white people in general and white men in particular have no moral high ground to say that anger isn't empowerment when this country and society was shaped by white male anger

anger at the queen of england
anger at the native americans
anger at free blacks
anger at chinese and japanese
hell anger at immigrant peasant europeans
anger at mexicans
anger at women

the list goes on and on and thru out ALL OF THAT..MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE KILLED OR INJURED OR WHAT HAVE YOU.. you know what they call that..collateral damage and a shrug and they move on...as long as they get what they want..whether thats land, money, political power, pussy or whatever.

Then to demonstrate a fist push to not so subtly illustrate what white male anger can do if pushed too far is basically a not so subtle threat that she picked up on. That ANYONE who has been in the crosshairs of white male anger before would pick up on.

And you sit there TRYING to act like that's a legitimate rebuttal..why...because he said it in a pseudo reasonable voice?

FOH with that bullshit homie...anger...VIOLENT ANGER and anger in any degree has historically worked in white mens favor and when anyone else is doing it they have to be shamed and "reasoned" out of it?

And you endorse that shit??

You don't know history very well then.

But also you just went ton a rat that had nothing to do with that he said and how it's relevant to YOU

I know american history very well.. and I know what white men are capable of so they are the last ones to lecture anyone about anger.

All you know is american history? 200 years of history ya got there eh?


Anyway, to stay on topic, what he said is relevant to YOU

 

[bgbtylvr]

Yet nobody ever credits the sista who gave these white bitches an OUT from their whoredom.

 

[thundercat]

One thing I know for sure. I'll never tell a rape victim (male or female) how they should feel. Typical cracker speak...."it happened, it was bad, but get over it already"
