I don't know what's going on, but we're talking to people about Kanye West's White Lives Matter t-shirt.
Is that a controversial saying?
Can white lives and black lives matter at the same time?
we'll find out what they have to say and all the chaos and the madness behind the controversies with kanye west's white lives matter shirt and the unthinkable he said the j word He talked about the crucifiers of Christ.
We know that the world has completely gotten to shit when this is what people are concerned with rather than, I don't know, war in Ukraine, inflation, the debt, everything else that's actually affecting your life.
And we can sort of summarize all of American discourse currently at the moment by what she was saying, which was, and that's currently.
I don't know where we find these people, but yes, we went out into the streets of New York.
We spoke to people, very intelligent, high IQ, black people and white people and Jewish people and homeless people to get a real perspective on this issue.
We're covering the entire controversy here on Slightly Offensive, the best, worst show that is here for you on the internet.
We always have confetti of color, 8K graphics that are coming down.
It feels really good.
Whoa, it feels good.
It feels like a blast of rainbow to your face, which I could also call getting too drunk in West Hollywood at one in the morning on a Friday.
That's really the rainbow.
The rainbow tastes like battery acid, if you know what I'm saying.
Anyway, don't forget that this show is now fully independent, which means that you can support us at locals.com.

We're wearing it.
She's wearing that one.
It's got the copium.
I think the one you're wearing in the back is this one right here, right?
Yeah, and I'm wearing, I think I'm just wearing, that's the, I'm wearing this one right here, the slightly offensive hoodie.
Just don't forget, you can go to slightlyoffensive.com slash shop, support the show there, and also just continue to support the independent mood because we're back out on the streets.
I feel like myself again, guys.
I'm finally back.
I feel good because I'm able to interview people.
We're able to get back to what Slightly Offensive is all about, which is clearly retarded people.

If you didn't know, you should be on part of the clip show and you should like, share, and subscribe to this channel.
What are you doing if that's not what you're doing?
But I got to tell you this.
It is a crazy world that we're in.
Kanye West is in the news again.
People are judging this.
We want to get into the videos and talk to some people about this topic and also hear from Kanye West about the controversy.
We're going to describe why it is you can't talk about certain groups of people.
Why is it you can talk about other groups of people?
And for perspective, nobody is talking about the controversy here, which is that you can literally go on Twitter, verified, and say whiteness is an unrelenting demonic force of evil.
It's crazy.
I know.
Everybody is inconsistent.
The world is unpredictable.
And it feels like it was just yesterday that we were talking about gas prices going down that they're literally skyrocketing to record levels again.
There's nuclear war on the horizon.
I mean, inflation makes steak a luxury and not a commodity.
It's insane how expensive the world's getting.
I feel like we're in 2008 all over again.
But listen, the last time the economy looked like this, it's true.
The stock market tanked 50%.
The U.S. dollar lost 46% of its value.
Things got really bad.
Not to mention the price of oil quadrupled.
Yet while the U.S. economy collapsed and inflation ran through the roof, there were certain people who weren't so upset.
And that was people who invested in gold and silver.
Because during that time, the price of gold shot up 1,300%.
Yeah.
Sounds unreal, but it's true.
And silver skyrocketed over 2,400%.
So if history repeats itself, we could see it happen again.
Can you afford to miss what could be the biggest gold and silver boom of our generation?
I know you can't, neither can I, which is why my friends at Goldco hooked us up, the SOB's slightly offensive backers, with an amazing offer.

But like we said, the world is unpredictable.
We have the hypocrisy of people saying that whiteness is an unrelenting evil.
And to put a backwards into it, Kanye West, a mogul and a billionaire, said, you know what?
It's time we stop this anti-white narrative.
I don't know about you, baby, but I am sick of this demonizing the very people who built this country.
And I wanted to see what New Yorkers thought about it.
So, of course, we went out and we spoke to some New Yorker about this.
So there's an entire controversy around whether white lives matter.
And we see the truth that when you talk to most people, they can't explain why they don't like Kanye West.
They can't explain.
And I bring this up because when we start talking about his calling out the Jews and all the controversy, you realize, like, in most situations with the press, it's not in good faith.
It's that they're already trying to get people to not like somebody or to push a narrative.
And then they are just looking for bait.
They're looking for some other reason.
It's like when women are bitter, or it's like when the devil reminds you of your past, or it's like when kids, for instance, are just trying to irritate you.
Maybe it's your older sibling when you were a child, like poking you, being like, Are you annoyed?
Are you annoyed?
Are you annoyed?
Or you know, when like a kid does this, they're like, I'm not touching you.
I'm just near you.
I'm not touching you.
The media tries to come in and they intentionally say, We want to create a narrative that Kanye West is bad.
And the reason why we want to do that is because we're upset, like the Washington Post said.
It says, here, this is a real headline.
You'd think that the man who altered the sound of popular music with the college dropout, which is a song, would be creative in his biases.
Instead, his politics are modeled after the boringest possible person, a straight white Christian bigot.
And the reason why they're mad at him is because he's not following in line with the narrative that people want a black man supposed to say that black people are a victim?
You're not supposed to talk about any other power groups.
Well, and that's what the girl said, that's what we're going to see in the videos is that people are like, well, I have a problem with him saying white lives matter yeah, but they can't explain it.
And I bring this up because the reason why people really hate straight white Christian bigots, it's not the straight, it's not the white, it's not the bigot, it's the Christianity.
They hate go and they want to live in a world where the life is antithetical to the way God designed it.
They don't want a patriarchal male-led, family centric heterosexual, monogamous lifestyle.
Now, I know we all struggle with our different things in life.
I'm not saying we're all perfect or that everybody who's a Christian doesn't make mistakes or sit or not sin.
What I am trying to say is what they're trying to undo is not a system that is simply European or heteronormative or these words that they use.
They want to fight against the systems that goes are good for humanity and that's why they hate them.
That's why people are naturally triggered by white lives matter and stuff.
It's not because we they hate white people.
It's because they're being programmed to hate god and the things of God and a culture that would reflect his visage, and this is why they go deeper into this.
So what about?
The white lives matter shirt makes him need help.
unidentified
Um honestly, with everything that's going on with the white lives matter shirt, I feel like it just more of an uproar with people who're not really fan of, you know, black people and stuff.
That shows you something about this, but also it shows how confused people are because really humans, I think, believe that all humans are equal and that we don't naturally stay in a state where we're like, oh, you know, I really don't like so-and-so because they look this certain way.
Usually we don't like people because they're ugly or we don't like people because their personality.
We're not just like, oh, this person's black, I don't like them, or this person's white, I don't like them.
But what they do is they tie race to social movements and social movements are backed by a set of standards and values.
And so what they try to do is like, what you do care about is people who are unfairly targeted or are victims of oppression, which I do too.
And then they say that that is only black people and that the only people responsible for that oppression is not the black person who spends their EBT dollars on malt liquor and Skittles.
It's the white man 180 miles away in a suburb that's the oppressor.
And so they create a power system that is unrealistic.
And so it's like, it's not that you really want to become against white people.
And it's not that you're really trying to become for black people, but you do want to be for victims and those who are the underdog.
And then the system is set up.
The only culturally acceptable system is the white versus black.
And so it's just a conflicting position you get into where you're like, I don't know what to say because I just don't want to be a bigot.
I don't want to look like a hateful person.
And they trap the low IQ individuals into picking a side, which is really, really unfortunate.
Even the kid in the very first clip who was like, oh, Kanye West, he's racist.
It's like, a black man is racist for thinking that white lives matter.
Explain that to me.
It's racist.
Like when people were, like when the whole Black Lives Matter started and everyone was like, Black Lives Matter, come on, we should, you know, this is controversial to say that black people's lives matter.
And then the right wing goes, okay, yeah, white lives matter, police lives matter, all lives matter.
I know, but on it, but really quickly, though, I did feel a little bit sad.
Like that lady who's like totally funny and bass, she's homeless.
She's a homeless woman.
And she can say, like, I was raised.
How is it that the homeless people, the least privileged in our society, they don't even have a home.
And yet they can say, hey, I respect all people.
Everyone's life matters.
And they're treated the worst of everybody.
As a homeless person, they have nothing.
And then the next clip is these privileged little gay kid who's like, well, you know, it's just not good.
And it's like, so the person who has nothing, the least of these in the community, they can have such a view of like everyone's life is equal, even though they're not treated equally.
And the privileged ones who have everything, who always are talking about privilege and this.
And oh, well, I'm privileged and they're privileged.
They're the ones that can separate people so easily and feel good about themselves for separating the way that people are and putting them into categories of their value.
And it's like maybe it's like the homeless woman who maybe doesn't have, well, I don't know, but maybe she just doesn't have as much access to be brainwashed by the media.
What is so weird about wearing an all lives matter or a white lives matter t-shirt?
unidentified
It's like it's it's still kind of like still has that racism there because like because I guess you're being you're a black person like you're supposed to be helping your own community that that's struggling.
It's weird that we say that everyone knows white lives matter, but that all that we see in the media is that, you know, I mean, like, what we see reflected is like that.
It's like saying, like, oh, well, my wife knows that I love her.
So I don't have to tell her.
Like, it's like, no, you have, if you don't say in a society that if you say everyone else matters except another one, the assumption is you don't think they matter.
But I think that the unrelenting part of this was that people were upset at Kanye West by simply making a shirt that said that white lives matter, which is insane because the connotation of that is that any type of attention given to white people other than in a negative sense is considered racism.
And that's the backwardsness of it all.
And I know that because I was just reading a Federalist article that talked about the rich white men that are pushing the transgender movement.
And I got really excited about it, genuinely speaking, because I was going, wow, this is so amazing.
I cannot believe this.
I've been trying to figure out who's behind the transgender movement and it's these rich white guys.
I want to talk about it on the show.
I go into the article.
The first three guys they mention that are the main money behind pushing transgenderism on children weren't white.
And I was like really confused.
It doesn't really matter.
I was just like, that's a really weird thing in an article to literally title it the rich white men behind the transgender movement and the three main people you use weren't Caucasian, which is strange.
Why would you label it white men if they're not white?
So I just find that the media is very intentionally likes to slander white people for no reason because that's what gets the click.
So it's okay to blame white people for something, but any other race, you can't.
And we know that because Kanye West is in a bit of a trouble because he's been recently going out there and he was speaking against the people that he felt was responsible.
Now, by no means are we sponsoring what he said on the show, but I think it's fair to point out that he is in a lot of heat for speaking about who he thinks is in control.
And this is when we wanted to talk to people about this, right?
He went on a tirade, if you don't know this, basically calling out Jews and saying that they're in control of everything.
And we're going to get a New Yorker's perspective.
But if you're not aware of what's going on, this is essentially what he was talking about.
unidentified
We made the White Lives Matter tease.
And then when I put up the tweet, the DEF CON tweet, now he ain't releasing the teeth because he's Jewish.
And I'm like, see, this is my exact point that I'm making.
Like, Jewish people have owned the black voice, whether it's through us wearing a Ralph Lorraine shirt or it's all of us being signed to a record label or having a Jewish manager or being signed to a Jewish basketball team or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney.
And we understand it's like, I respect what the Jewish people have done and how they brought their people together.
What I loved about it, I preached, I love Dove just as a human being.
Is this the guy from Adidas?
Dove is from American Apparel.
Okay.
But I'm talking about put out my White Lives Matter tee.
The White Lives Matter tee don't say nothing.
It don't say DEF CON or nothing on it, right?
I'm like, put it out.
And he's telling me like, yo, I want you to visit the Holocaust Museum.
And I was like, yo, I want you to visit Planned Parenthood.
That's our Holocaust Museum.
I'm like, yo, I put my life on this at this point because they've been fucking with me too long.
Well, and I find it to be so strange because it's like, that's what he's saying.
It's like, dude, I'm not saying that Jewish people aren't depressed.
I'm not saying that the Holocaust didn't happen.
Like, he's not denying any of those things, right?
What he's saying is y'all get each other's backs, and I'm trying to get my people's backs.
And I think there's a racial difference.
Now, I'm not sponsoring that statement.
I'm not saying that I even believe that.
I just think it's so funny that you can't say that.
He can't talk about that.
But if he did come out and just flip the script and went, white people are all, you know, getting together to oppress black people and white people are all causing problems.
And I'm going to go DEF CON 3 on white people.
Everyone would be like, hell yeah, bro.
Come on, Kanye, speak it out.
You know, speak your truth.
And then they wouldn't give him a count, which I got to remind you guys, though, that in the midst of this, do not forget to always take care of yourself and to always take care of what matters, which, of course, is something that we always forget about buying important and high-quality things that you use every day.

So obviously, we're back to this.
They were mad about this.
So we were like, hey, he goes on the internet.
He says he speaks out against a group that he's not allowed to speak out against, right?
And so he's, you can't speak out against Jews.
We know that.
That's against like media rules.
Not allowed to do that.
But you can speak out against white people.
Totally okay.
I don't make the rules.
That's just what they are in media.
And he went on Twitter and Instagram and was like, hey, I think this.
And to prove that there was no conspiracy and that the Jews are not working against him, he got suspended on Instagram and Twitter and then also got his banking canceled at JP Morgan J bank.
So that's really good.
I really love that we're not, we're not, we're not reinforcing racist conspiracies by literally reinforcing them with the most important reinforcements you could give.
I don't know why they do this to themselves.
It's like, you know what?
I am not a mean husband.
And to prove it to you, I'm going to beat the shit out of you so you learn once and for all I'm not mean.
So that's why, like, okay, would it be racist for me to say whiteness is an unrelenting demonic force of evil?
On an intellectually honest argument, yes.
But in the rules of the current discourse, no.
Is it anti-Semitic to celebrate a group of people having money or power?
No, that's a positive thing.
But it's the discourse is set up that I've noticed that anytime, it's like anytime you crit, anything you say that's other than what's sanctioned is anti-Semitism.
It's like we want to get along and you want there to be racial equity and there want there to be this equality, I guess, that people want.
But it's really hard because they accept the rules.
So the point is, is that with Kanye West and what he's doing, you know, being this whiteness is an unrelenting demonic force of evil, they're saying, yes, it is anti-Semitic.
And I will say this, it doesn't matter if it intellectually is, we don't get to decide what anti-Semitism is.
The people in power do and they get to decide it case by case basis.
unidentified
Or is it like a people get to decide what's racist?
You ever had, and then, and then, and then, and then you, and then, and then, and then that's how he talks.
But hey, the way I looked at it with this dude is like, bro, you, he, in some of the footage that was cut out, he blamed like 400 years of oppression for why he's not getting ahead.
So it is pretty crazy, though, how the controversy happens, though, because people, A, they're trying to think white life shouldn't matter.
That's where the controversy came up by defending white lives.
Then he went DEF CON 3 on Jews, and then people started calling him anti-Semitic.
And that's fine.
Like, if you want to think he's anti-Semitic for that, maybe he is.
What I am going to say, though, in that is it's weird because of what I just stated earlier is that if you were against racism, then you would condemn Bishop Talbert Swan as well.
But they don't, which means that they're not anti-racist.
They're just anti-white and they're pro-racism, but they're just against you attacking certain races.
unidentified
Which I just find to be ideologically inconsistent.
So should we, so either we condemn all racism against every single race, or we admit that there is actually a hierarchy of races of you know who's in control when you are not allowed to say anything bad about them.
Gay people, you can lose your job for speaking out about homosexuality or transgenderism or these kinds of things.
They control you.
Okay.
What else can't you say?
You can lose your job about speaking about crime statistics in black neighborhoods.
Everything's a racist except for hating white people, which is why, though, Kanye West is taking this back.
And Kanye West is actually, he acquired Parlor.
Let me go back into this.
So Kanye West is to acquire conservative social media platform Parlor.
It's from CNN.
Kanye West is acquiring Parlor, the alternative social media platform favored by many conservatives.
Parlor's parent company announced the deal on Monday morning saying West had made a groundbreaking move into free speech media space and will never have to fear being removed from social media again.
That being said now, it looks like Twitter owned by Elon Musk and Parlor owned by Kanye West means that now two of the four big ones, you got Truth Social, Gab, Parlor, and Twitter, half of them are owned by African Americans.
