► 00:00:00
That's slightly offensive.
► 00:00:03
Right there, right then and there, you discreetly stated a form of inferiority because a lot of these people the way the world works.
► 00:00:10
So Latins wiped out white barbarians, but you don't want to listen to that because you believe what you believe.
► 00:00:14
That's fine.
► 00:00:16
That's fine.
► 00:00:16
History doesn't matter to this one.
► 00:00:18
That's fine.
► 00:00:24
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive with your favorite gay black woman, me, Elijah Schaefer.
► 00:00:29
I'm here hanging out in a tree, more comfortable than a social justice warrior listening to facts.
► 00:00:34
We're at Cal State Long Beach talking to students about what they think about free speech.
► 00:00:38

► 00:00:42
Do you think hate speech should be protected under the law?
► 00:00:45
Um, it's kind of a tough one.
► 00:00:49
Do you believe that hate speech should be legal under law?
► 00:00:55
I think you should be able to say anything you want because I think the diversity of opinions that everyone has is what keeps America great.
► 00:01:02
So then do you think that, you know, allowing something is the same thing as sort of condoning it, right?
► 00:01:07
Um, in some ways, yeah.
► 00:01:09
How so?
► 00:01:10
Um, because you're allowing people.
► 00:01:15
Do you think people should just be able to run around and just call black people the N-word, or what do you think?
► 00:01:19
They can.
► 00:01:20
It's rude, but they should be protected too.
► 00:01:22
Watch a leftist run.
► 00:01:23
Turn around.
► 00:01:23
Watch a leftist run.
► 00:01:24
Watch the leftist run.
► 00:01:29
Gotta go get that haircut shorter.
► 00:01:31
Gotta get a shorter haircut.
► 00:01:32
Go.
► 00:01:33
Not making fun of her.
► 00:01:34
I'm just predicting.
► 00:01:35
I'm just predicting.
► 00:01:36
She's gonna get another haircut.
► 00:01:37
Gotta get those clippers.
► 00:01:39
Just one haircut short of completely eradicating male privilege.
► 00:01:43
It's like shouting fire in like a crowded like room, something like that.
► 00:01:47
Like that.
► 00:01:49
That would be like speech that incites violence.
► 00:01:52
How would that incite violence?
► 00:01:55
Because everyone would rush towards the door.
► 00:01:57
Yeah.
► 00:01:57
But what if nobody rushed?
► 00:01:58
So do we only determine if it's violence if people rushed?
► 00:02:02
If they don't rush, does that disprove us?
► 00:02:04
I would say if they rush.
► 00:02:06
Yeah.
► 00:02:06
If something actually happens out of it, then yeah, I would say that speech that incites violence.
► 00:02:10
But what if the intentions of the person who yelled fire were intentions that were good?
► 00:02:14
Do we judge them based off their intentions or the results of their words?
► 00:02:17
Oh, that's a good question.
► 00:02:20
Dang.
► 00:02:22
Yeah.
► 00:02:25
I think there should be like slight repercussions to that because it is offensive.
► 00:02:30
Offensive.
► 00:02:31
Offensive?
► 00:02:32
You win.
► 00:02:36
Yeah, you can walk up and call someone's girlfriend a, you know, a p or something, but the guy's gonna probably hit you in the face.
► 00:02:41
So your repercussion is the fact that you're instigating something, but should you go to jail for it?
► 00:02:45
That's the question.
► 00:02:45
Oh no, I don't think you should go to jail for that.
► 00:02:47
I think there should be like something that's kind of a harsh sentence.
► 00:02:51
I think slightly has slightly hurt.
► 00:02:54
You win.
► 00:02:58
What just what just happened?
► 00:02:59
What just happened?
► 00:03:00
What'd she say?
► 00:03:02
She said f you.
► 00:03:03
Why?
► 00:03:04
I asked her if she was open-minded.
► 00:03:06
And that's no way to prove that you're open-minded than to just yell an expletive at somebody who asked you.
► 00:03:11
I don't think so either.
► 00:03:13
Well, that's good.
► 00:03:13
That's what you get.
► 00:03:14
State campuses.
► 00:03:15
Let's see if we can get some other opinions here.
► 00:03:16
Yes.
► 00:03:17
Are you want to be in this?
► 00:03:18
What's up?
► 00:03:18
Are you at the club or are you just around here or what?
► 00:03:20
No, I'm just wandering.
► 00:03:21
All right, awesome.
► 00:03:21
So you just wondered.
► 00:03:22
So what's your name?
► 00:03:23
My name is Riley.
► 00:03:24
Are you wandering physically or is that also metaphorically for your life as well?
► 00:03:26
Sure, yeah.
► 00:03:27
Pretty deep stuff right there, right?
► 00:03:28
Yeah, next time you say you're wandering, watch out, because that could go places.
► 00:03:31
Who defines hate?
► 00:03:32
Is it up to the individual?
► 00:03:34
I think it should be up to the individual.
► 00:03:35
I mean, it's like having common courtesy, right?
► 00:03:38
Like, you should be able to know that what you're going to say may backfire.
► 00:03:41
Like, you may actually offend somebody.
► 00:03:43
Like, you should watch what you're saying.
► 00:03:44
Like, you can be an asshole.
► 00:03:46
Yeah, that's fine, but like, do it cautiously.
► 00:03:49
Hate speech is, uh, well, I don't know.
► 00:03:52
I don't know.
► 00:03:52
Okay.
► 00:03:52
Let's see.
► 00:03:53
I gotta be careful when I define this now.
► 00:03:55
Especially on this campus.
► 00:03:57
What's being taught?
► 00:03:58
Some stuff, um, basically anything that's offensive towards like a group, like white supremacy or something.
► 00:04:05
So, like, hate speech is probably mostly things that white people say.
► 00:04:07
But if I'm oversensitive and I think that a lot of what you say is hate speech, even if really probably on a normal standard, it isn't, what makes my truth less real than your truth?
► 00:04:17
That's a good one.
► 00:04:18
Um, I guess there really isn't anything.
► 00:04:22
Why would a person who yelled fire, why would it be their fault if people ran?
► 00:04:26
Shouldn't they be able to smell the smoke and see that there's no fire and not run?
► 00:04:30
Yeah.
► 00:04:32
I like your channel, by the way.
► 00:04:34
Okay, so do you believe in hate speech and what is it?
► 00:04:37
Like, if it exists?
► 00:04:39
Yeah.
► 00:04:39
Yeah, of course it exists.
► 00:04:41
Some people here that I've talked to that's walked by said hate speech is a myth.
► 00:04:44
It does not exist.
► 00:04:46
Why would you disagree with that?
► 00:04:47
Because those people clearly don't have any perspective and have never had their feelings hurt before.
► 00:04:52
Have you ever thought, does hate speech even exist?
► 00:04:55
Yeah, yeah, I do think about that sometimes, especially on the YouTube wormhole, you know?
► 00:04:58
Sometimes you watch those like Bench Piero or like Steven Crowder guys, you know?
► 00:05:01
Isn't that kind of what you guys are trying to go for?
► 00:05:03
Oh, we're nobody.
► 00:05:05
They don't know what to look for.
► 00:05:06
They haven't heard it because there's been people talking about having hate speeches on this campus, I think.
► 00:05:10
So that's like, obviously it exists.
► 00:05:12
They don't even know what it is.
► 00:05:13
They don't see it.
► 00:05:14
They're kind of oblivious back to the whole perspective thing.
► 00:05:20
Yeah, I think talking about it is definitely, and like having that respect to talk to a person that is the complete opposite of you is also part of it.
► 00:05:28
But I think activisms like this is also effective too.
► 00:05:32
I want to thank you very much for actually having a conversation, by the way, because most people won't talk because we are right-leaning, but I appreciate that.
► 00:05:37
Thank you.
► 00:05:38
You lied to me.
► 00:05:38
What?
► 00:05:39
You're turning, you're twisting everybody's words around.
► 00:05:41
I never even edited the video.
► 00:05:42
You're lying.
► 00:05:43
You're making, you're baiting people into giving you responses.
► 00:05:46
I never did.
► 00:05:46
Yes, you're not.
► 00:05:47
What's response?
► 00:05:48
You're baiting people right now.
► 00:05:49
Get the fing f out of me.
► 00:05:51
Talking about it is definitely, and like having that respect to talk to a person that is the complete opposite of you.
► 00:05:57
And I want to thank you very much for actually having a conversation, by the way.
► 00:06:01
You win.
► 00:06:04
So that's like, obviously it exists.
► 00:06:06
People don't know what it is.
► 00:06:08
They don't see it.
► 00:06:09
They're kind of oblivious back to the whole perspective thing.
► 00:06:11
What is it?
► 00:06:13
I mean, somebody.
► 00:06:15
Isn't that kind of like the victimology, though?
► 00:06:17
Because if someone's saying words, words, or violence, then that's saying that it attacks them and it debilitates them, which means that they don't have the strength to stand up against words, which doesn't necessarily define it as hate speech.
► 00:06:25
It just means you're a weak person.
► 00:06:26
What's the better alternative to capitalism?
► 00:06:28
Socialism, like Germany, France, Italy.
► 00:06:31
Right, and you think it's working out well in France right now?
► 00:06:33
Of course it is.
► 00:06:34
Yeah.
► 00:06:34
France is considering introducing a state of emergency after Saturday's riots in Paris and demonstrations across the country in protest over fuel price rises and the cost of living.
► 00:06:46
You can go to Europe and visit, but I need to go.
► 00:06:50
Yeah, awesome.
► 00:06:50
Thank you.
► 00:06:50
That's great.
► 00:06:51
Oh, yeah.
► 00:06:52
No worries.
► 00:06:53
artists mostly probably stay out of politics.
► 00:06:55
Yes, unless that's...
► 00:06:56
Should, mostly, yeah.
► 00:06:57
Yeah, so...
► 00:06:58
I agree.
► 00:06:58
They should.
► 00:06:59
They should spend more time making art than trying to tell us how to live.
► 00:07:01
What do you believe racism is?
► 00:07:02
Racism is basically, isn't it like, I can't really pinpoint the exact definition, but like.
► 00:07:12
But we do know that it's real.
► 00:07:14
Yeah.
► 00:07:14
I mean, I'm a very, I'm a bleeding heart social justice warrior, as a lot of people would like to define me as, but I definitely believe that First Right Amendments, I mean, it's your, you have every right to say everything you want to.
► 00:07:26
Yeah, and there's not a lot of artists, I think, out there really trying to tell people how to live except for like most of Hollywood, pretty much, right?
► 00:07:32
A lot of Hollywood?
► 00:07:33
Uh, I guess.
► 00:07:35
I don't really follow scenes of like, I go see movies and stuff.
► 00:07:39
Do you think it's dangerous though that we accept ideas that we can't clearly define?
► 00:07:45
Um, it's dangerous when it's like I feel like, well, like so, should hate speech be protected by free speech?
► 00:07:55
That's awkward.
► 00:07:56
I am an atheist.
► 00:07:58
If I say something to you with pure intentions or out of ignorance and it incites what you say violence, should I go to jail for it?
► 00:08:06
Um, honestly, no, you shouldn't go to jail for that, but you shouldn't, if you're being offensive, offensive to a person.
► 00:08:21
The person should be able to inform you.
► 00:08:23
I am an atheist.
► 00:08:25
And there are situations where people are trying to be hateful, but the question is, is that protected under free speech laws?
► 00:08:33
The thing is, I wouldn't.
► 00:08:37
I wouldn't.
► 00:08:39
I mean, right now it is, I think.
► 00:08:41
As long as it's not like.
► 00:08:43
Should we change it?
► 00:08:44
Should we change it?
► 00:08:45
I don't know.
► 00:08:48
I don't know.
► 00:08:50
That's very hard to say.
► 00:08:52
Who gets to define hate speech?
► 00:08:55
Huh.
► 00:08:58
Who gets to define hate speech?
► 00:09:03
I am an atheist.
► 00:09:04
Should there be any legal repercussions against hate speech?
► 00:09:08
Uh-oh.
► 00:09:12
Honestly, I don't know much about it.
► 00:09:14
What do you think?
► 00:09:15
Should there be any legal repercussions against hate speech?
► 00:09:20
That's really hard to say.
► 00:09:22
With having the censor be the Supreme logo, Supreme is sporty and it's trendy.
► 00:09:26
And it's almost like the new thing is like for the left just to sort of censor conservatives or it's becoming a trend, right?
► 00:09:31
So it's kind of like playing on it.
► 00:09:33
So you can get them at slightlyoffensive.com.

Like, how do I put this?
