Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Trump supporters wearing mega hats are walked like dogs down Hollywood Boulevard.
tomi lahren
The left calls it art.
I call it completely inappropriate and shameful.
This whole dog walking thing was inspired by their anointed one, rapper and former stripper Cardi B and her Twitter threat to dog walk me.
Well, in honor of that threat, a group of so-called artists created an exhibition in the streets of Hollywood last weekend.
They call it Hate Breed and featured people of color and members of the LGBT community walking white men in mega hats on leashes down the streets of Hollywood.
The group in decline said the exhibit was about promoting empathy from Trump supporters, but that's bull.
What it is is a group of sick individuals who hate Trump and his supporters, their fellow Americans, and think it's funny to degrade us and then excuse it by calling it art.
It's not art, it's sick.
elijah schaffer
What a weird start to such an important episode.
Imagine if the race of Tommy Larin had been switched and she wasn't white.
Would it still be funny to watch someone of a minority's head explode?
I don't think so.
I'm growing pretty tired these days of hearing the same story over and over again.
It's that if you are the wrong kind of skin color, you don't have the right to speak in the conversation.
You don't have any right to give your opinion on ideas or matters that don't concern your skin color.
And if you think I'm living in the 1800s, maybe even the early 1900s, you're wrong.
This is 2019 and the same racist rhetoric that has caused countless wars and endless discrimination in the world is still alive today.
Of course, while the game stayed the same, the rules have changed and so have the colors.
And no longer is it people of high melanin concentrations that are being targeted.
It's flipped.
No, we didn't end racism.
No, we didn't stop discrimination.
We've just switched who we're mad at, who we're calling racist, and who we're blaming for the world's problems.
Yes, I'm talking about white people, or as the Ebonic slang word goes, white people.
Now, I want to bring to you an article from The New Yorker.
The New Yorker is dead, in my opinion, and in the opinion of actual journalism, they would agree with me as well.
It said in 2011 that there is a cultural commentator named D'Angelo that coined this new term white fragility to define the majority population of Western cultures as being this fragile people.
Now, I'm tired of being demonized and told that, hey, if I complain about being victimized, then I'm just playing a victim.
That, hey, white people can't be the source of any racism.
It's impossible for anybody to be racist against white people because, hey, you are systematically in charge.
That requires you to accept a position that racism equals discrimination plus power, which was something that was invented in Marxist universities.
The reality is, is that the people in power are more likely the wealthy rather than the white.
And even if there's a lot of disproportionately amount of wealthy white people, that's probably because white people make up three-fourths of the American population.
So it would make sense if the majority of wealthy people were quote-unquote white.
But D'Angelo said white people are fragile.
And when I looked at this, said specifically that we are fragile because we are defensive when we feel implicated, when we are blamed for white supremacy.
So you're going to tell me right now that I'm not allowed to talk about the issues that concern me, but you're allowed to mindlessly blame me for taking part in white supremacy, the same white supremacy which led to a world war that my family fought against?
You're going to tell me that I'm implicated in Nazism and ideas that killed upwards of 10 plus million people, of which 6 million of them were Jews?
You're telling me that my family gave their life and sacrificed everything to get rid of the evils in this world, and yet somehow they're now guilty of them?
I'm not buying it.
And the problem is today is that when you try to defend yourself, you're called fragile.
In my mind and in my world, when you defend yourself against people attacking you, you're not fragile, you're strong.
Giving a defense for yourself may seem weak to them, but in my life, that means that you're tough.
If someone gives you false accusations, no matter what your skin color is, you shouldn't accept them or receive them.
This should alarm everyone, those even who are not white.
Because believe it or not, if they can target white people today, once they're done with their mission to destroy and demoralize an entire group of people, you'll be next.
Because their thirst for blood will never stop.
It's important to realize that D'Angelo writes, she said, white people cling to the notion of racial innocence, a form of weaponized denial that positions black people as havers of race and the guardians of racial likelihood.
She blames in the end, truthfully, that the ultimate perpetrators of this problem of white fragility that are causing the issues in the world are white liberals.
And that's where I can agree.
White people aren't the problem, but those that ascribe to a liberal ideology that incessantly talk about racism are always looking for a victim to blame for the world's problems rather than actually placing the blame on the individual responsible for their poor decisions.
She says that these liberals are causing the problems.
And I agree with her for two reasons.
Number one, they're causing the problems because they're continuing to keep the conversation alive about something that has already been killed.
And number two, they continue to blame themselves as the perpetrators of racism while then nominating themselves as the saviors to end it, which is a very weird predicament that I reject entirely.
So in today's episode, we are definitely going to hit this problem of scapegoating races.
We're just featuring white people, but the conclusion and the reality that we need to focus on is that white people isn't a race.
It's actually an ideology that the left has coined for people who hold to Western traditions and values.
And quite frankly, if you think, well, I'm not white, so I'm not in this group, watch out.
Because whether you're black or yellow or brown or somewhere in between, if you somehow come out in the defense of white people or even defend the values of Western civilization, you will be dismissed and called a racist yourself.
Yes, you can be called a black white supremacist.
Today we have guest Sidney Watson, who is a YouTuber, commentator, and journalist from Australia here to talk to us about the Christchurch shootings.
She's broadcasting from Melbourne, Australia.
She's at Sydney Watson, and you're going to find her in just a few moments.
Make sure you check out her pages.
And she's going to be discussing this article by Slate, which says, hey, all white people are implicated for the Christchurch shootings.
Why am I not surprised?
Blaming all people for the actions of one.
We hope you enjoy this episode.

As most of you might have already heard, there was a shooting in New Zealand against two mosques, where as of now, I believe the numbers are at 50 that have been killed.
And of course, the person put to blame is a white man who is being touted as a white nationalist.
And there is a wonderful article written by Slate that is trying to hold all white people, specifically even all white Australians, responsible for this mass shooting.
And here to talk about this article today and the problem of scapegoating and blaming white people for the actions of individuals is Sidney Watson here, broadcasting from Melbourne, Australia.
Sidney, welcome to the show.
sydney watson
Thanks for having me.
elijah schaffer
Awesome.
Okay, so obviously you're out in Australia.
Now, Americans, or I should say, white people, get put into a box.
And actually, white people aren't just bound to a nationality.
They're actually trans-European, Euro-Australian as well, and they're all around the country.
And you guys had a shooting out in New Zealand.
This guy, terrible situation.
He definitely did some things that we're not going to try to justify.
But as of right now, white people are being put on the chopping block and they're being blamed for what happened.
What's going on in your country and what exactly is the narrative at the moment?
sydney watson
So in Australia, currently, I mean, in New Zealand, I would say that we can talk about Australia and New Zealand in the same sort of context too, because I think they're experiencing a similar phenomenon, which is this sort of collective, legitimate white hating.
And that's just sort of based on observation.
So a lot of articles that have come out, some things that have happened in relation to Australian politicians.
So there is one senator here who spoke out about what happened in Christchurch.
In a way, he did blame Muslim immigration, and that went crazy.
He ended up being assaulted by a young teenager.
And then everyone defended that teenager and said that that was the right thing to do.
So I think the narrative here currently is very distressing.
I personally am super concerned.
And nine times out of ten, when these things happen, I say, yeah, it's bad for a period, but then it tends to get better.
Whereas I don't see this getting better.
People are very, very angry on both sides of the coin.
elijah schaffer
Right.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And so for those that aren't familiar, there's this article by this is a major publication and it actually is titled The Christchurch Shooting Should Implicate All White Australians.
And there's sort of this understanding that when one white person does something, that it is sort of justifies the entire world to say, hey, look, all white people should hold responsibility for this.
But then there's an opposing narrative.
So let's just say a Muslim commits a crime.
You immediately hear the media start to say, hey, look, this was just the actions of an extremist.
This was somebody who misinterpreted the Quran.
And there's this push to try to justify not necessarily the individual, but let's say the religion of Islam and try to push aside attacks as being fringe or extremist.
And that even goes for pretty much any group out there.
But let's just say a white person does something, like in this case, attacks somebody.
There's immediately a draw to support the narrative in the world, which is that white people are evil.
And I think what's the problem with this is that white people, including people like me, yourself, even mixed white races, Hispanic, or even mixed Aboriginal white in your country, are being pushed the same agenda no matter where they live.
And it's that they are invaders, that their very existence is threatening and it's wrong.
And actually, their positions of power, even their freedom to hold wealth, is a threat to minorities.
Now, in the U.S., we obviously are very familiar with the narrative that white colonialists are evil and that we, you know, wiped out the indigenous red man and we did it all in the name of white supremacy.
But obviously, that narrative isn't exclusive to the U.S.
And there's a similar one going on in Australia.
What is that?
And how are they using that to try to make white people seem like the devil?
sydney watson
Well, it's exactly, it's basically exactly the same as in the United States.
The perspective here is that the colonialist colonialists came in, sorry, I can't speak English, and they invaded and they killed all these Aboriginals.
And therefore, we must be forever sorry for the actions of a lot of our ancestors.
But you know, it's the same thing like America.
You have absolutely tons of Australians who weren't even associated with the British.
A lot of them have family members who've come here from other countries.
And we sort of just sit back and go, Well, why are we being collectively blamed for the actions of not only a few people, but people from legitimately hundreds of years ago?
It's absolutely insane.
An argument here that comes up quite a lot is in relation to Australia Day, where people want to change the date of Australia Day, which is basically the equivalent of 4th of July.
And they want to change the date because they say that it represents genocide.
And yet there's absolutely, A, no proof of that.
And B, what a ridiculous notion.
This is the constant ongoing thing that we have to put up with here.
And again, because the media has a stranglehold on public opinion and a lot of our politicians are very, very weak, this is all we hear.
And it's this constant white blaming and man-blaming.
And it just gets so old and so tiring after a while.
But particularly in relation to, I think, what's going on at the moment, I think that the hostility in Australia is becoming more and more palpable, at least from what I can see.
I would say that people are growing more and more despondent.
I think they're also getting more and more frustrated with the fact that there is this ongoing, constant collective blaming.
And the other thing, too, that I would say is that you have, again, our politicians who consistently signal to the left saying, yeah, like, yeah, white people are pretty crap.
We should be putting in measures to stop them from doing what they're doing.
And I just honestly, I'm so sick of it.
I think a lot of other people are sick of it, but it doesn't look like it's going to abate anytime soon.
elijah schaffer
Right.
And the problem with that, though, is that anytime you try to speak up against this scapegoating of an entire race of people, ironically, you're called either racist or you get blamed for trying to play the victim.
Because they say, you know what, white people have caused so much problems in the world.
White people have caused atrocities today.
It's white supremacists and extremists that are shooting up churches.
And you're over here and you're trying to play and put yourself into a corner saying, I'm just being picked on and unfairly judged.
But of course, they're saying that just because of how you look, you don't have the right to speak up for yourself.
And I think this is what's moving the populist movement in a lot of Western countries is that people forget.
Actually, if you talk to most white people on the street, they're not racist.
They don't even actually care about someone's skin color.
They're just trying to live their lives.
But unbeknownst to a lot of these mainstream media outlets, the majority populations in European countries, including also in Commonwealths like Canada or in Australia and the US, are still predominantly Caucasian to an extent, or some mix of being white.
So when there's these growths in populist movements, what it really is as a response is where the majority population is feeling like they're being ostracized.
And the problem with this whole narrative is that you can't have progress in a country by somehow demonizing and putting aside the majority populace of the country.
It starts to radicalize people.
It starts to threaten the security of the country.
And quite frankly, I honestly believe that it's impossible, it's impossible for the West and the current leftist ideas to progress because they're trying to do it without the very group and voting block of people they need to actually get things done.
sydney watson
Yeah, well, exactly.
I mean, it's the same everywhere at this point.
I think that Britain and Australia are very similar because I don't know if you've noticed, but the narrative there is very similar.
And I think that America is lucky in the sense that you guys have basically got so many freedoms actually enshrined in legislation, such as your free speech and these sort of things, which actually in a way protect you from these narratives.
So we don't have any of that whatsoever.
We don't have anybody who's standing up for us in Australia, at least from what I can see.
And when they do try to do so, they are absolutely slammed for it.
So you're basically right.
You know, they're appealing to a minority of people because, like you said, the bulk of the population in Western countries is predominantly white.
But even I'd go further than that.
There are people who think similarly to you and me who aren't white, who are getting sort of mixed up in all of this hatred and this hostility towards white populations, who really, let's be fair, are the people who are progressing Western countries and making sure that things happen.
I'm frustrated because in Australia, I just see this weakness sort of unfolding between the leftist narrative, all of this hatred, all this hostility, and our politicians doing nothing.
And so I like people think I'm crazy, I think, some of the time because I'll say, you know what, we're going to go down the same avenue and same field as the UK, who have brought in all this crazy legislation.
We, I mean, Australia has like blasphemy laws.
It's absolutely crazy, but there's no protection for us as the white population.
But there's all these protections and things in place to help everyone else.
And I think, how did we get here?
And you know what?
Everyone will say that this is a white supremacy thing that you come up as someone who's only preferencing your own race.
I personally think that's rubbish.
I would want equal treatment for everyone across the board regardless.
I don't care where you come from.
I don't care how you look.
I just notice it, especially when it comes to people who are Caucasian.
It's insane.
unidentified
Right.
elijah schaffer
And that brings up a good point: that actually, you know, this argument is not actually against people with white skin.
What I believe people on the left are doing is they're taking the travesties and even some of the problems that have happened in the world and they're grouping it into this thing that they're just calling white people.
And at this point, even if you're not white, you get pushed into that sector.
It's really an ideology they're talking about, which is what they believe as a supremacist ideology that has led, in their terms, to slavery, to the disenfranchisement, and to the oppression of certain types of groups of people.
But really, when we actually look at history, we find that every single culture, almost entirely, every major culture at least, has owned slaves.
Almost every major culture has oppressed people.
Almost every major culture, race, and group identity has had conflicts, has looked down, has ostracized minorities.
So it's not like white people are exclusively causing the problems in the world.
Realistically speaking, these problems have existed and they're human problems.
And so that's where I think that people get confused with this whole blame the white people is when someone comes out, let's say, that isn't white and they share the same ideas, the left doesn't know what to do with them.
So they just dismiss them entirely, or they just say, hey, you're a sympathizer, you're a token, you know, you're an Oreo, whatever it is that they want to do to try to dismiss them.
And I think we've got to bring out into the public an idea that, you know, governments in and themselves should not be trusted.
And when you look at what happened in Christchurch, within a week, the prime minister has made the criminalization of people who share the video of the shooting more penalized than those who create child pornography.
They've also restricted access to firearms and quite frankly, rejected their entire culture by adopting an Eastern tradition and pushing women to wear hijabs in solidarity.
And I saw that you had a really viral tweet that was expressing your frustration with this whole movement to sympathize with another culture and abandon Western culture.
Can you explain that a little bit?
sydney watson
Oh, I just, someone had tweeted about the fact that there were women on actual national television in New Zealand wearing the hijab, and I just went crazy.
I just thought, you have to be kidding me.
This is an ideology that in a lot of ways is very, very anti-women because women are half the value of a man according to it.
And then you have women who are legitimately wearing something that actually signifies oppression within that culture.
And I just, I thought, this is insane.
Not only has the prime minister of New Zealand worn a headscarf, but so too have female police officers and like I said, these women who are on television.
And I think to myself, Western women have worked our butts off, getting to a place where we have actual legitimate equal rights and equal representation across the board.
And, you know, you know how I feel about feminism.
And for me to say that is a pretty big deal.
But we have.
Western women have worked our butts off.
And to see this sort of thing basically start to entrench itself into cultures that believe that women actually are valuable makes me crazy.
And like legitimately, I don't like to use the term it's virtue signaling in relation to actual things like this, but it is virtue signaling.
They think that they are basically standing in solidarity with the people who've been hurt and attacked, but the reality is that what they're doing is they're symbolizing the actual subjugation of females and I have zero time for it.
You can show solidarity.
You can show your well-intended love and care for another group of people without saying, hey, it's actually completely fine to beat women and to put them into subjugation.
I just hate it.
I don't understand what they're doing over there.
They've gone crazy.
elijah schaffer
Right.
And I think that's what happens in totality in these kind of arguments.
I think when you simplify the argument and you try to make it an us versus them idea, you lose the entire point is that morality and evilness is something that infects the heart of every human being.
And it's not like white people have a higher propensity towards evil because in reality, while it's a tragedy what happened at Christchurch, and I know that the motives are still a bit murky and not exactly clear, the way that the government responded with their reaction shows that, you know what?
This issue is not even about white people.
It actually is about power.
And people are consistently using groups of people and putting them in a box so that they can pull power.
And I look at this, and I know it might be unpopular with some people, probably popular with my viewers, actually.
The government totally just took advantage of this situation to pull power back from the people and to demonize law-abiding citizens.
And I think that's what's so scary about Western culture is that when people look at their own country, their own society, and they feel guilty for where they live, then it leads to a sense of shame and it leads to a lack of responsibility.
Then the people feel demoralized and then they no longer stand up for their rights.
And it gives the government a way to kind of push whatever they want.
And obviously we see pushback in England with Brexit, but it's having a difficult time pulling through because at this point, governments are not aligned with the people.
They're not looking out for the best interest.
The media and corporate entities are not looking out for the people.
And if they were, that's my point.
If you're looking out for the people, why does the majority concentration of the population, why are they the enemy?
It doesn't even make sense.
And people like you and myself who speak out about it are unfairly labeled and even characterized with words that I wouldn't even want to say simply because we're asking questions.
And this is what has been predicted for centuries and what has been understood to be the way the world works is those in power want to keep the power and control the world.
They're trying to suppress the truth.
They don't like people like you, myself, or anybody.
And again, even if someone isn't actually white and they hold these ideas, they throw them in the same box because it comes down to the fact they're not upset at our skin color.
They're not even afraid of the way we look.
They're afraid of the way people like us think, which is not white people.
It's people of Western society and Western values.
And I think that we're making a difference.
Again, guys, this is Sidney Watson.
You guys make sure that you like, share, subscribe her videos.
You'll find the links below.
And Sydney, I just wanted to give you the last thought on this.
Go ahead.
sydney watson
Well, I think the main thing that I'd like to get across in relation to this specific topic, and I'm actually really, really glad that you're talking about it, is that when we think about the different cultures that have come together in particular countries, you know, I think Australia is a little bit better than this, but I think that Australians need to remember in particular that the people, just because people look different to you doesn't mean that they're any worse or any better than you.
And I think that's a main core point here is that it's so important to, yes, embrace other people, but it doesn't mean that we can collectively blame anyone for anything.
I think it's different.
The main thing I really want to say here is that when we blame Islam for something, I think it's a little bit different because you have a legitimate collection of ideological principles that direct behavior.
I.e., someone has written in a book, do this, do that.
When we're talking about a general collection of people who the only characteristic that they share is skin color, it's very hard to say that the reason that they're doing or acting in a particular way or saying particular things is because of that skin color.
And it's ignorant to do that.
Same thing with the black community.
You wouldn't say that all blacks think the same way just because they happen to share, you know, a particular amount of melanin.
It's just ridiculous.
So when we come to this topic where we're talking about particular actual ideologies that inspire hatred and violence, it's very different to talking about, hey, there's a group of people over here who look the same.
And I think that is the one thing that no one talks about.
And I'd like to just highlight it because it frustrates me to no end.
Don't hate a white person, give them a hug.
We're pretty nice.
So that's it from me.
elijah schaffer
Awesome.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's Sidney Watson.
Again, make sure you check out her links below.
Thank you so much for taking time in the bright early hours of the morning from all the way from Australia, the down under, to give us your thoughts on the Christchurch shooting.
We'll have you back on.
Have a great day.
sydney watson
Thanks for having me.
elijah schaffer
Sydney had a great point.
Western countries are in a serious predicament.
They are trying to blame the majority of their population for the wrongs of certain individuals.
They're trying to make white people feel guilty for the sins of a few.
And if you try to defend yourself, then you're just called a perpetrator of white supremacy.
You're written off and possibly even labeled a racist.
But see, if you think, yeah, I'm not white, so this doesn't affect me.
We're going to find out from our next guest, Anomaly, who goes by Dream Rare on social media.
You can also find his links to his Facebook and his YouTube below, is a Puerto Rican American who's actually just a rapper and speaks about the truth.
But yet, because he dared to say something positive about the Irish, he's being now labeled as a neo-Nazi.
We hope you enjoy this interview.
All right, welcome to the show.
AJ, you go by a lot of names.
Anomaly, legendary energy, dream rare.
Why don't you explain why you have so many names online?
an0maly
Yeah, so anomaly comes from my hip-hop alias.
I saw the word in SAT prep class and it said, unlike anything else.
So I was like, okay, deviation from the norm.
And I was like, that's me.
I'm very rare.
And then so coming to that, Dream Rare, I was like, anomaly is hard to spell because I got the zero in it.
That was because I didn't want to get sued by a band named Anomaly.
So I was like, I don't want to have to deal with that down the road.
So I added the zero to be an anomaly among anomalies.
And then so I was like, I need a shorter Instagram name.
So I was like playing with words and I was like, what do I like?
And you know, I like rare, very rare energy.
So I was like, dream rare.
And it was like, no one has it.
I was like, let me get that because that's easy to spell.
Because, you know, you're out at the club or you got someone like, what's your Instagram?
You're like, anomaly music with a zero.
They're like, ah, this guy sucks.
And then I'm like, dream rare, easy to spell.
Then legendary energy, dream rare was taken on Twitter.
So I was like, legendary energy, I wanted something powerful.
And that's what I feel like I have.
And other people do too.
I don't have a copyright on it.
And I want that legendary energy to bam.
elijah schaffer
I would give that legendary energy to be real energy.
Because here's the thing about this is that what people actually don't know is that slightly offensive, there's like 20 pages online that are called slightly offensive.
And actually, somebody directly stole our name and called their podcast slightly offensive podcast on Google Podcasts and on iTunes.
And then now we got stuck.
So we are not even allowed to take our own name.
an0maly
Yeah, it's tough.
I mean, there's 8 billion, 7 billion people in the world.
So it's like, you know, what do you really do besides add zeros to things?
elijah schaffer
That's true.
But you know what?
We got something that's actually a little bit less than zero because at least zero is a placeholder, but we've got something that's pretty valueless.
So you've been involved with some controversy this week.
And to be honest, you're not a very controversial person.
You really just kind of state the facts.
You give both sides of the argument.
Of course, you're open about your support for Trump, which is enough to demonize you these days.
I want to bring up a tweet here that you put out.
And this was around St. Patrick's Day, am I correct?
an0maly
Yes.
It was actually last year and it blew up.
Last year it went viral.
So I was like, let me share it again because it was so popular.
elijah schaffer
Nice.
It's kind of like the ex-girlfriend that comes back around and is still good in bed, but you know, hey, comes with its own problems.
And this time, too, it came back and it bit back.
So you wrote a tweet and it said, shout out to all of the Irish people whose families were enslaved, came to the U.S. for a better life, worked in factories, and then got called privileged and blamed for slavery by beta male soy drinking hypocrites and depressed feminists.
Please break this tweet apart for me and tell me what was your inspiration for writing this.
an0maly
First of all, I hope some people laughed at that.
I thought it was hilarious.
Well, it was in there was like the beta soy drinking or something.
I thought it was hilarious and depressed feminists.
Hilarious.
And I just, I was thinking like, you know, my parents, I'm not even Irish, so that's the crazy part.
I'm Puerto Rican, Italian, and Polish, but my grandparents came from my grandfathers from Poland and Italy, and they worked in factories.
And I know it's like people look at me and others with lighter skin and they blame all of the world's ills on us, even though there was multiple other slave trades that were way bigger with darker people as well.
So I was like, you know what?
The Irish really get it bad.
And I feel like out of all the white people, they were treated some of the worst, you know, and they're like, well, that wasn't slavery.
That was indentured servitude.
It's like, well, what's indentured servitude?
It's not citizenship.
And look up the definition of enslaved.
I think it fits that category.
Maybe not under the, you know, slavery.
But so I just thought it was funny and also nice to give a shout out to, you know, half the country who has lighter color skin or more, who are constantly being blamed for everything, even though they escaped indentured servitude.
If you go back far enough, literal slavery and also communism and awful things in history.
I thought it was hilarious.
elijah schaffer
So, you know, here's the key thing: when I first read this and I looked at this, I honestly just thought, hey, this is cool.
This guy's just making a tweet.
He's just giving a shout out to people who were from Ireland.
He's just giving a credit to their history.
But of course, you got to leave it up to the mainstream media to completely dismantle something that was meant just to be innocent and to destroy it and turn it into something to make a Puerto Rican.
You're part Puerto Rican.
an0maly
Yeah, I'm part Puerto Rican.
I'm Italian, Polish, and Puerto Rican, but for sure, you got to milk the Puerto Rican while you can.
You know, you got to cling on to your victim card before they come try to burn your house down because of your skin color.
But yeah, I'm part Hispanic.
unidentified
Right.
elijah schaffer
Right.
And so the key, the key matter of this all is, is that they put out the Daily Mail, which is supposed to be a right-wing news source, put out a nice article that said, shout out to all the Irish people whose families were enslaved and came to the U.S. for a better life, which is a start.
It said, Delaware Mayor apologizes for sharing white nationalist Twitter posts saying it was an innocent mistake.
Okay, so when I read this first off, it comes across that they're saying that your Twitter post is racist or white supremacist because of its allusion to the Irish people.
What were your initial thoughts on this?
And why do you think they wrote this?
an0maly
Well, first off, I guess their reasoning for it is there was someone who considers himself a nationalist that shared my tweet.
But this is a viral tweet.
It's been seen millions of times and shared over 100,000 times by everybody of all political affiliations.
So they tried to say, well, a nationalist shared it on Twitter and it's a white nationalist trope.
And it's like, I got hundreds of messages from Irish people that were apolitical, like, thank you.
Like we were tired of getting blamed for everything when we struggled a lot in history.
So it's just the media, if you don't agree with them, even if you're left-leaning, like I follow some progressives sometimes where they're, I disagree with them on a lot.
They're more socialist communist leading.
But if they stray from like the Syria, like in the country Syria, the narrative of the mainstream media there, they'll group them in with the world's worst people, even though they're left-leaning and say they're right-wing or even in some cases, like awful criminals.
Like I've seen the most nutty stuff.
So if you disagree, it's a thought control, mind control culture where I believe, and there's a lot of evidence for it, the mainstream media is racist.
They're like the projection tactic, everyone is this.
They're looking all over.
It's like, just look in the mirror because you have news articles like Slate.
They put out an article when something happened with a Somali American.
I don't know where it was, but they said, you know, you can't blame all Somali Americans for that.
And then when the Christchurch thing happened, they said every, I believe, blame every white people from this region are responsible.
And it's like you literally put them back and forth where it's like double standards, hypocrisy, and also racism where my stuff is ideological.
It's philosophical.
I weigh in on everything.
I'm hilarious.
So I make jokes and I talk about, you know, stuff and try to solve problems.
They don't want to solve anything in the mainstream media.
They want to hate.
They want to judge.
They want to use communities like the black community, the LGBT community, the liberal community, women, children, anything, every tragedy, anything that evokes a lot of emotion.
They know this.
So they use it and kind of flip the script.
So it's like a lot of the, when you look at their writing, not only is it very low level stuff, it's not funny or intriguing or intelligent, but they seem to have a grudge against certain genders and certain races.
So it's like, who's really racist and sexist?
unidentified
Right.
elijah schaffer
And I think what's weird here is that, you know, your tweet was pretty much just giving credit to the trials of white people, but it's unpopular to bring up the idea that white people could possibly have any issues or that white people could have gone through any problems in their life.
And so when it comes down to it and we look at the tweet, it is innocent, but the news spun it.
And what they're going to do is the news does something interesting.
They're going to reference this article probably in the future to say, look, Anomaly is racist because we wrote an article and said he's racist.
Now, it doesn't matter if the basis of the article isn't racist.
It doesn't matter if the original tweet wasn't intended to be racist.
The news creates its own narrative, cites itself to create a greater narrative and influence the culture and the population.
Why?
Because they want to make white people seem like the enemy.
They even have a slant or a slang term for white people called white people.
I don't know if you've seen that, which is essentially a I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say it's an Ebonics almost version of the N-word for black people.
And it's a way to kind of degrade white people, make them seem dumb, uneducated, or stupid.
I'm not offended by it personally.
But this whole narrative that if you come out and you represent white people or you say something that's against the narrative, you're going to be reprimanded publicly.
You're going to be insulted online and your reputation is going to be smeared.
And I'm thinking that they're using people like you to try to set an example for the average American or Westerner to say, hey, don't speak out because we have the power to destroy your life.
What are your thoughts on that?
an0maly
No, you're totally right.
I mean, even with Donald Trump, it's like he stands for a lot of things.
He's, you know, ended and de-escalated the war in Syria.
He's ramped down threats from ISIS.
He's done stuff with North Korea economy.
There's LA Times articles where say it's a dream that he has to make 3% GDP.
And then he does exactly what they said he can't do.
So it's like there's different elements of Trump and people like him for multiple different reasons.
I liked his anti-regime change war stuff and some other stuff.
But they want to say if you support Trump or if you back him up or if you even like say Tiger Woods, he just said he's the president and you know, we got to respect the office regardless who's there.
That's like an apolitical, basic, respectful statement getting slandered in the media.
Anybody who goes near Trump, we will destroy and ruin your life.
Anybody who stands up for white people, although I would like to say I believe the terms white and black are media created traps to really get people to turn against each other.
When I grew up, I had friends.
I never said I was white.
I said I was Polish, Italian, Puerto Rican.
I had 100% Puerto Rican friends.
I had Jewish friends.
I had, you know, all sorts of friends and we Indian.
Like that's how we identify.
We never used white and black.
And even with black, it's like black.
What does that mean?
A black American born here has a way different mindset than a lot of people in Africa, like Nigeria and other places.
They have all different values and stuff.
And just like Irish people to Italians, it's a whole different culture.
So you're taking these people based on their skin color, grouping them in, and now the media in pursuit of social justice and women's rights, they're becoming very racist and sexist where I'm all for women's rights.
I do think toxic masculinity is a problem, not how they say it is, but it's like, yeah, there's some loser guys who, you know, maybe they're not cool enough.
So they have to like hate everybody and act like they're macho man, but then they have a few drinks and they're like crying in the closet.
It's like, I get it.
There are some loser guys.
Crying in the closet.
They've weaponized toxic masculinity and feminism to actually crush women and use their own, you know, feelings against them.
So it's like they've become very sexist where it's like a guy, you know, there's the believe all women.
I mean, the whole thing, and I have a great video on my page, WorldCloud, of an older black woman who said the whole like me too, believe all women thing, that's disgusting because Emmett Till was getting blamed by white women back in the day.
And we fought to get to the point of like right to a fair trial and the right to vote and, you know, and get all that stuff.
So you guys flipping history in the name of women's rights, it's not only sexist, but it's racist.
And then the whole white thing, they don't want you.
If I would have said, you know, black people were enslaved and I'm standing up for them, I'd probably have a show on television.
You know, it's like they want to hear that narrative.
They don't want you to skew the narrative.
And when it comes to racism, I have a video called How to Stop Racism with 2 million views that's more insightful and intelligent than anything any of these publications have put out.
So instead of judging me and mislabeling me, they should hire me because I could outperform their entire roster of journalists by myself.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, and make sure you check out the link to that video.
It's in the bio of this video, and that's something you definitely should watch.
And I think that's what really scares them is I, you know, when you look at this, white people make up about three-fourths of the population, as we discussed earlier in the show, that includes Hispanic whites.
But even if you take out mixed race, you're still down to about 60%, which is more than half the country.
And to be quite frank, when you start demonizing the majority of a population, I will admit, if white people make up most of the population, then equivalently, they should be committing most of the crimes.
But that's not even true.
Disproportionately, white people aren't committing more of the crimes, but there might be other issues that people bring up about white people.
Like maybe let's talk about the issues.
They want to talk about systematic racism.
They want to talk about systematic prejudice.
I'm not necessarily all for those arguments that are out in the mainstream, but I'm willing to break down and discuss it.
But the minute we start scapegoating a race, then we are no better than, let's just say, the white people that they are claiming to fight against.
If you're taking people by their skin color and you're essentially just simplifying who they are and you're breaking them down and saying, I'm going to dismiss your arguments.
I'm going to dismiss your understanding.
I'm going to dismiss your perspective because of your skin color.
That is the very definition of racism because you've devalued someone simply based on the way that they look, which is what we're trying to move away from.
I mean, look, you thought the Jews think that Jesus was just killed and he died.
He's not only resurrected, he's in my studio right here, okay?
Crazy things are happening in the world and you wouldn't even know it.
And who knew?
He turned into a rock star in 2019.
Jesus is good, right?
It's like Hillsong right here.
an0maly
Oh, my goodness.
elijah schaffer
But on the real note, you know, someone like you coming out is what we need because, see, the Delaware mayor, he'd apologize.
Why aren't you apologizing?
an0maly
Well, I mean, first of all, I would consider it a comedic tweet.
And people are like, anomaly, don't backpoddle.
It's not a comedic.
I thought it's hilarious.
I mean, it says, you know, depressed feminists, soy-drinking hypocrites.
That's funny.
So, first of all, it's comedic.
Second of all, I'll have an intellectual discussion about slavery.
We could talk about all the different slave trades, the Arab slave trade, the American slave trade, who ended slavery, who's still enslaving people today.
There's 27 million people, according to Reuters, enslaved in the world, and most of it's in Africa and the Middle East.
They'll never talk about it.
They talk about Jesse Smollett for a year, but they'll never talk about the 530 people who were murdered in Chicago.
One-year-olds, you know, a couple month-year-olds, 80-year-olds, 70-year-olds, 11-year-olds.
They won't talk about this stuff.
And on the statistic thing, it's like they demonize, I'll have an intellectual discussion about everything.
They demonize white people, and that's fine, and you shouldn't blame any group.
But like you were saying, with crime and at least murder, if you go to FBI statistics for a few years ago, the black population in America is around 12%.
If you do guys or young guys, it could flow from like 6% to 9% committing over half of the murders.
I'm not out here saying blame all people of that race.
That's awful, but it is disproportional.
And also, when it comes to like white ownership in America, LeBron James was saying, you know, white slave owners own all the NFL teams or they have a slave mentality.
I wasn't even mad at that.
Freedom of speech, if you feel that way, I do think a lot of bosses have a slave mentality.
You know, white, black, like when you have that power position, sometimes you have that mindset.
He's okay to say that, but then he apologized to Jewish people for a compliment.
And if you look at the, you know, NFL teams, it's 30% or so owned by Jewish people.
And that's not to demonize white or Jewish, but it seems like white people, which I don't even, I think it's a made-up term to group Europeans in, they're getting blamed for everything and you can't even sit and defend yourself.
So it's like they want to punch at you and not even defend yourself.
And I wanted to say real quick too, when it comes to the white, they always say the white voting bloc in America votes this way.
It is true that white men statistically vote more conservative.
So if you want to move further and further left, and me as a normal liberal, I used to consider myself more left-wing.
If you look at the way they're going, it's nearly socialist communist where it's like, control all mass media, censorship, can't dissent, can't even have a neutral opinion.
Like they want to crush everything.
So it's an easy scapegoat to say blame white men, blame these people, even grouping in people who don't self-identify as white, whether it be Jewish, Spanish, or even, I mean, they call like dark-skinned black people white supremacists.
They have no honesty at all.
But it's like if they can get the population to turn against the one voting bloc that's actually protecting them, free speech, the right to bear arms, like these very important things that, oh my God, anomaly, this would never happen.
Look at Stalin and Hitler, these awful regimes.
It was 100 years ago.
You know, so it's never worked.
We're not living in these peace times.
So, you know, there's slavery still in the world and people have the right to not only defend themselves, but to speak freely.
So I'm not apologizing for not only being hilarious and accurate, but for having a nuanced discussion when these losers in mainstream journalism, and I'm not saying anyone specifically, a lot of them on the left and right wing, all they do is just scream and then sell pharmacy pills in the commercials.
It's ridiculous.
elijah schaffer
It's true.
And to be quite frank here, you know, I don't think he should apologize.
And I think that Americans need to realize and recognize that that's the importance of not only consuming independent media, but financially supporting it as well.
I know AJ and myself and a lot of others like us are completely pretty much crowdsourced.
It's by the views, by the ads that get on our videos, by the way that you watch it.
It's the donations that you give so that we can keep giving a different perspective.
And the cool thing is, is no matter how hard the media is trying to push the narrative, there's still something and a factor that they're neglecting, which is that Americans are smart and that a lot of Americans are not dumb.
And these dumb, right-wing, conservative people that are in the flyover states that they mock, make fun of, and say, and basically push aside as second-class citizens are actually hardworking, good moral, and very oftentimes, and clear-thinking individuals who want to come out into the world, want to give their opinion, and they don't want to be flown over.
They want to be respected.
They want to be acknowledged.
And even things like the Electoral College, which was pushed a lot by Rhode Island, right, which is now very progressive, very liberal, was made to protect Americans across the country because we are the United States of America.
We aren't white Americans and black Americans and Arab Americans.
We are Americans first and foremost.
I'm all for getting rid of the hyphens, the African American, the Hispanic American, and just saying, hey, we are all citizens.
And so if you want to give a closing thought, I want to thank you so much for coming on today.
Again, this is Anomaly AJ, also known as Dream Rare.
You can find all the links to his social media and to his YouTube.
He's really big on Facebook as well.
So you can always shoot his videos over to your mom.
It's true.
Any closing thoughts for us?
an0maly
Yeah, I want to just say real quick.
First of all, yeah, the black and white, it's manufactured in a way to cause division.
It's like left, right, black, white.
So you're African, maybe you're Nigerian, maybe you're African-American, Italian.
I'm done with the black and white label.
I think it's a trap.
And also, I have a video.
It's called How to Stop Racism.
And it explains when you talk about it and divide a lot, you actually perpetuate it.
And like the Chappelle show jokes, that was hilarious.
It didn't make people more racist.
People like to joke.
I don't care if a black comedian makes fun of white people.
I think it's hilarious.
And they're hyper.
Everyone's getting so mad.
It's Islamophobic.
It's this, it's that.
It's that.
It's actually making people more racist because they don't let people communicate.
They blame everybody.
They throw them in the corner and then be like, why are you in the corner that I just threw you in?
So the real way to do it is like Daryl Davis, who had a great documentary.
He's a black jazz musician who made over 100 KKK members quit.
And he did it through love, compassion, and communication, where they talk to him and they're like, oh, I like this guy so much better than these obnoxious white people.
And that's how you get people to stop being racist is by showing them the light and the love.
And a lot of people on the left and right doing it.
But I will not be, you know, grouped down and mislabeled by people who are a thousand times more racist and sexist than me and a thousand times less effective and honest than me.
unidentified
Right.
elijah schaffer
So thank you very much, AJ.
I really appreciate that.
Make sure, again, you like, share, subscribe to this video.
Help keep independent media and journalism alive.
And we'll see you next week.
To end the show, I just want to do a huge favor for all the haters who will still watch this regardless of my explanation and say, hey, this guy's a bad guy.
He's really a white supremacist.
He's really a Nazi.
He's a terrible human being.
When in reality, you know that I'm not.
I'm just going to save you the time and do to myself what you probably want to do to me in the end and what you want to do to all white people in Western civilization.
