So then let me ask you this, then back to the question then, with the immigration wall.
Since I am an asshole with a microphone, yes, it's a good thing that the question and the statement you are what you eat isn't true.
Awesome, this would be disgusting.
This would be disgusting.
This is Elijah here with slightly offensive.
We've got another episode coming out.
We're at Orange Coast College talking to people about the immigration wall and apparently also some racism mixed in because you can't talk about a wall without talking about the people that it's trying to prevent from coming over.

Don't you think that Antifa and white nationalists are both just as bad as each other?
No.
How is Antifa better?
unidentified
They're both bad, but no, white nationalists, let's see, and it's always, when we talk about white nationalists, we're always comparing them to some other group.
Is it violence you're afraid of or what is it that you're afraid of of maybe running into white nationalists that might be hidden?
unidentified
Violence and also just the feeling of being outnumbered.
I mean, I'm constantly outnumbered living around in Orange County anyway, anyway.
So that's kind of just something that I always have to be prepared for and aware of as a colored person, my surroundings, and who's around me, just because you never know what people's intentions are.
I mean, I live in LA in Hollywood area, and we have a lot of like Metro La Raz, a lot of brown power types of things, but I don't feel threatened by them.
I mean, because I think they're small.
Well, I've had threats of violence against me.
I've had police take me out of places just because I was white in a bad area reporting and they were saying like, you know, kind of saying a lot of racist things, calling me a Nazi, different things just because I was asking questions about race and ideas.
unidentified
You have to take a step back and figure out what type of questions you were asking and were you triggering those.
So, I mean, people are going to feel the way that you want to feel, but I think you also need to take a little responsibility and understand who you are as a person.
And when you step into those areas, people are going to be on their defense and for a good reason and for actually multiple good reasons.
So, you know, if you're going to go into those areas and ask these type of questions, be prepared for what you're going to get because these communities have suffered a lot and are continuing to suffer a lot.
And you just need to understand who you are walking into those spaces.
So you face different obstacles and threats than someone like me.
I always have to be aware.
You have to be aware when you go into specific areas.
And that's something I think a lot of people take for granted.
Is there anything that I could do to protect myself more from false accusations or different narratives and things that people spew on me just because I'm white?
unidentified
Are they all false accusations or are there a lot of truth to that?
Like I'm a racist when that's not true or I'm a Nazi because I ask questions about race and ideas or I want to have open discussion so I'm a hater, those kinds of things.
unidentified
Open discussion I think means that you maybe just need to go and be willing to just hear someone else's side.
That wouldn't be discussion, that's just listening.
unidentified
Sure.
Speech.
And I think that's something that a lot of white people should do right now.
think that's a great time to do that so I think if you're kind of shut up and listen Yeah, I think if you're going to step into those spaces, I think you should just shut up and listen sometimes.
I think inserting your opinion, especially in this political climate, especially the area that you're talking about.
No, it's okay, but it's definitely reverse racism, but that's fine.
It's okay.
So I believe, if you want to know, racism, I think people can be racist.
I think that when it's going back to white people, though, I think you can be discriminatory, but it's not racism.
Whatever we say to them is never going to have any more power than what they do to us because it's called there's institutionalized racism, which is something that black people directly suffer from.
Every elementary, middle school, high school, we went to the same school together, got the same education, right?
So I went to university, he didn't.
He grew up without both parents in the home.
I did.
So in the terms of systematic oppression of black people, how did I get disadvantaged because of different circumstances, but none of those have to do with his skin?
unidentified
You realize that, right?
And none of them have to do with his skin color, and none of his problems will ever have to do with his skin color.
Why can't we say the same thing with black people when the single motherhood rate in the black community is over 70%?
Why can't we say that the disadvantages of black people have nothing to do with the color of their skin, but disadvantages because of life decisions within the community?
unidentified
Yeah, that's funny, you know, I think I'm going to stop myself because I don't.
That's my tax dollars being wasted because of a bunch of white people who are afraid of losing money.
So what are they going to do to not lose money?
They're going to light money on fire and build a giant f ⁇ ing wall.
I don't know if you guys know, but there's ladders you can tunnel.
Like, and then the next argument to that is, oh, why don't we have the military go down there?
Oh, that's a fantastic idea.
Let's spend millions of dollars on soldiers sitting at the border waiting for, you know, hungry families to cross because that's totally like worth it.
You know, it's mostly single men who are looking for economic opportunity, but don't are a low skill set, which could be a drain on the economy, and also come and get resources.
And if we just cut, if we just cut, I mean, the point about the wall is, is we have a problem with illegal immigration, right?
The Department of Homeland Security has suggested, and some numbers seem to be higher than this, that there's between 12 to 14 million illegal immigrants here currently that are living in the United States.
These are not made up.
These are from...
unidentified
You're saying they're all Mexican or they're all from...
I mean, they deported a few hundred thousand back to their countries last year, so I believe that as well.
I don't think you can cherry-pick one issue.
I think the point is there's not a lot of argument about reform in visas, which are trying to pass immigration reform in general.
The point is there's two parts, immigration reform, and also, like, for instance, saying that people have ladders would mean like me telling you don't put a door on your house because there's rams that could break your door down.
Number one, a lot of what you're saying, even if I vary on a couple points, but actually where you're coming from, I agree with about us meddling and being too international, jumping around in proxy wars, funding things, having big money and big investors that are controlling the military and the people.
Well, some of them.
But considering the fact I'm not against asylum.
I'm not against us remedying some of the issues we've created.
I'm talking about right now to deter illegal crossings so that we can fix our borders and we can start working on problems on the inside, considering the fact that the entire cost of the wall is only a fraction of the amount of money we spend each year on social services for illegal immigrants.
So then let me ask you this, then back to the question then with the immigration wall.
Since I am an asshole with a microphone, yes, it's a good thing you keep it true.
It's a good thing that the question and the statement, you are what you eat, isn't true.
Also, this would be disgusting.
This would be disgusting.
unidentified
See, your argument would make sense if countries that weren't fully unionized, like Germany, Norway, so like, weren't kicking the sh of us when it comes to education, when it comes to degree, people actually holding it.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a big, look, I'm not, I know, but I'm saying I'm not, I'm not, I'm not talking about the Confederate flag here, and I'm not talking whether people, there's a very complicated argument behind that one.
But I'm saying specifically the you said a statue of liberty, and I'm saying that it's that it's your point was that you don't want immigrants coming here waving their flag.
No, that's not my point.
I meant if they need to share our values.
And so if you want our values are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and I believe that and usually Catholic.
unidentified
Most people from South America are usually Catholic.
I mean, I know that doesn't work with the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant angle that most of these people are probably going for a little bit, but it's a Christian angle, nonetheless.
