Admittedly this also has one more exception: bilinguals. So fun fact. You know how "a body of water" is like a mass of water. Yeah well in ye olde romance tongues "body" was used for "large mass" of many things. Including people. And some languages still use it to some degree. Here in spain for instance when referring to the security forces we use "cuerpos y fuerzas de seguridad del estado", "bodies and forces of security of the state." And I have seen south americans, who in some areas have managed to keep the weirdest part of old spanish alive, use "body" for large groups of people that way. Like referring to a militia as a large body of armed citizens. This btw is probably where the academic sources got their use of "black bodies" if you see the old sources they were referring to groups of people, not one body=one person. But it seems the SJW academic dumbasses have managed to misunderstand and misapply the word. And now we get this. Honestly it hadn't even clicked on my brain until I saw your sources that it may come from that quirk of old language. Man they really managed to fuck it up didn't they. But yeah point is, if you see "bodies" used for large abstract groups of people, that might just be linguistic quirks. If you see it used as jayden does "I need bodies here.", that's a fucking looney.
Yes, we still use body in the sense of a plurality of people, like "student body", or how corps comes from corpus, et cetera.
The SJW use of "body" comes from Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, and their notions of
lieb,
korper, and
dasein (the latter of which comes from Hegel). When these philosophers talk about "bodies", they don't literally mean the physical body. They mean
embodiment. They mean the first-person experience of
being in a body and the sense of identity that comes from it. Or, put another way, they speak of the difference between the "animated body" and "an inanimate body/a corpse". It's related to the concept of Cartesian Dualism and the mind-body dichotomy.

Foucault was also influenced by this sort of language from phenomenology, and since Derrida and Foucault are the biggest influences on SJW ideology, there you go:

SJWs have blurred this distinction by misusing the term. They heard their professors saying "body", and instead of embracing the meaning from phenomenology - of mind-in-body, or of embodied experience - they started parroting it in a manner that sounds, to the average listener, like they're talking about physical bodies in a dehumanizing way.
So now, you have this absurd situation with people going around describing people as "bodies" as though it were a term of special esteem.

SJW professors, the priestly caste of the whole order, regularly use this kind of language in their sermons. Imagine a balding, Prius-driving nitwit, standing up in front of hundreds of people in a lecture hall and uttering "black bodies" without a hint of irony, and they're not talking about
physical phenomena, but people.
And to think, this weird shit has been taught in our colleges for decades. No wonder everyone sounds retarded now.
You know. The coffee shit might be solid proof that they are actuay mentaly sick. Coffee is a very close ally of people with depression, anciety disorder and stress. Now I don't mean the tumblr version I mean the regular version. Those and other related mental disorders cause lack of sleep and poor sleep, so they drive the person to coffee due to poor routine. That might be evidence that we indeed are dealing with an actual open roof asylum, and it's being run by the inmates.
Seattle has an extremely coffee-centric culture and has for decades. Every true Seattleite is also a coffee addict, no exceptions. There are like nearly 300 coffee shops in Seattle.

Seattle has a temperate rainforest climate and it's trapped in a coastal depression between two mountain ranges. It rarely gets heavy rainfall, but it always drizzles a little tiny bit, sometimes less like raindrops and more like a fine mist. It's also overcast or mostly cloudy
all of the time. The coffee is basically a substitute for daylight.
