Time Text
Live from New York, it's get off my lawn with Kevin McGuinness.
Where you're standing jump the creek and watch the sun shine swim.
You're found in a pace in the inn.
That's Australia's Courtney Barnett.
I think she's gay.
She's got a new album out.
Oh, this jacket kind of feeds back.
Cool.
Looks like a Max Headroom future jacket from Blade Runner.
She's very talented.
Her earlier stuff's a lot more palatable if you want to go check her out.
I'm walking around with lots of pseudo-ephidrine.
It's like sort of talky poetry stuff.
She's wonderful.
I'm really getting into Australian bands these days.
They've got a great music scene.
I don't know why that is.
Isn't it too hot to play music there?
Maybe it's so hot that you end up in an air-conditioned jam space and you go, let's just stay here and drink beer.
Put another shrimp on the bobby.
Not a big news day here, folks.
The New York Post is basically the same as it was yesterday.
He's saying, sorry, there's no guarantees with North Korea, but I feel pretty good about it.
And what have you ever done?
And Rudy Giuliani has been caught cheating at 74.
Now, I don't really care about infidelity.
I mean, I think it's wrong, and I don't like divorce, and I think it's terrible for kids.
But this guy's 74, and your sex life is none of my beeswax.
I don't care how it affects your job.
So we don't really have an intro today.
I want to dive right into it because there's two things I really want to get to, and I want to spend some time on these.
Thing one, I want to talk to Mike the cop about two cases, two videos going around.
AJ Plus is pushing.
That's the Saudi Arabian network, the Arab network, Al Jazeera, has rebranded itself as a cool hipster thing where they push a Muslim agenda and a very left-wing agenda, and part of that is crapping on cops.
So the two videos are, one, this fit black guy determined to murder a cop, resists tasing and being hit by a car and being hit by a tree, and he gets shot.
And so this is another example of police brutality, even though the cop is black and he'd be dead if he didn't kill the perp.
And then another one is a little more ambiguous.
Chelsea Manning threatened to kill herself and the police entered her house to check on her with guns drawn.
And I'm told that's a huge no-no, but it doesn't seem like a no-no to me.
In fact, upstate, my alarm went off.
My neighbor's alarm went off and I went to check on it.
And the cop had his gun drawn when I went to the door.
So I'm not sure.
The cops here tell me that they shouldn't have had guns drawn to do a wellness check.
Anyway, let's dive right in.
Oh yeah, sorry.
And thing two is a video the MTV put out to prove racism exists.
And they use examples such as, there were Irish slaves, but the Irish slaves were indentured servants.
That proves that racism is alive and well today.
Can you help me out here?
Discussing the different jobs slaves had 400 years ago is proof that 2018 is racist.
It's some of the worst logic imaginable.
And I blame the school system.
And just the general state of critical thinking today is really hitting all-time low.
Anyway, in order to explore those two things with any kind of depth and thoroughness, with any kind of ingenuity, with any kind of, God, my vocabulary gets worse every day.
It's Twitter.
I got to quit Twitter.
I got to quit my phone.
I can hear my vocabulary die.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, unequivocally.
Anyway, we're going to do the cop first and then the racism thing and then we're done the show.
Mike, are you there?
I am.
Welcome back to the show.
Good to have you.
I want to go through, are you plugging your mug there by pretending to drink from it?
There's absolutely nothing in this mug.
And it's not for sale.
So there's no merch plugs for me.
No need to plug it.
I want to go through these two videos because the general sort of understanding with all danger with cops now is the cops are wrong.
You should have shot him in the toes.
You should have put a lasso around his neck.
No, not around his neck.
Around his feet and done that sort of Brazilian thing with the balls.
Right, yes.
And the situation always looks like the cops are innocent to me, but I'm biased.
So let's go through a couple of these.
This is a crazy black man, 24 years old, fit as a fiddle.
And he looks like he's fit.
He looks like he could deliver some blows.
So he's attacking these guys and screaming that he's going to kill them if they use their tasers on him.
Let's show a bit of that, shall we?
And we need the audio there.
Oh, jeez.
What is he doing?
seems to be mentally unstable as we speak He crashed in the trees.
Stay in the car!
Mel just ran into 95 and got struck.
And by the way, can you just pause it there?
You'll notice that he's pretty good after being hit by a car.
Better than I'd be, I think.
Yeah.
Like, no matter where you got hit, it's very painful to be hit by a car.
So I've heard.
And I've never been tased.
I've been pepper sprayed, but I've never been tased.
And I'm told it shakes you to your core.
It sucks.
It is absolutely terrible.
So if someone's coming back after a tase, they're at a superhuman level of strength and menia.
Yeah, yeah, mistakes have been made at that point in their lives.
All right, let's go back to this rage.
Oh, he's doing Snow Angel.
Okay, this is crucial.
He appears to get the taser off him.
I feel like I see the taser in someone else's...
and then he's got another one or that's the same one Alright, so that's enough of that.
Do you notice that guy's still cruising around after getting shot a couple times?
Yeah, yeah, that was sort of...
Yeah, he'd already been shot, and he's still running around like nothing happened.
And I've never been shot either, but I hear that experience is just flaming heat and then blackness.
Yeah, yeah.
I've thought about trying it a couple times, and my friends have talked me out of it.
Thankfully.
Well, the crazy part of that video comes later where the family says that our brother or whatever was reaching out for help and he didn't get help.
He got shot.
He got two fatal bullets or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What?
I love how they put on the screen, this is a school teacher.
Look, I don't care if that guy made a merit badge for sewing when he was eight years old in the Cub Scouts.
It's really irrelevant to the fact that he's running around naked, hyped up on some type of special Mountain Dew and trying to attack and kill a cop.
Yeah, and making it very clear, I'm going to kill you.
Yeah, it doesn't, sometimes you wonder, like, well, what was his real intention?
Well, this time he said he's going to kill him.
Yeah, you made it pretty clear.
Well, I don't, you're not NYPD, right?
No.
Because here, the cops in New York say they have such a crazy tool belt of stuff from tasers and stun guns and wooden bullets and all this crap that if you shoot a perp, an EDP, an emotionally disturbed person, no matter what he's doing, you're going to lose your job because there's so many other options that you're supposed to try out first.
Yeah, well, I mean, they tried, he tried talking.
We saw how well that went.
He tried to tase him.
That didn't have any effect at all.
And then he got attacked after he tased him.
You can't see exactly what happens with the body cam, but you will notice after the tasing, the cop's hand comes out with the taser and it's got blood all over the taser in his hand.
So he had been injured.
The cop apparently had been injured on some level and recognized whether it's from experience or in the moment.
I'm in trouble here.
Nothing else is working.
I'm not going to be able to physically control this guy.
Taser's not working.
He says he's going to kill me.
He won't stop attacking me.
What are the options left?
Well, also, as a cop, you don't want to be knocked out or incapacitated because now he's going to grab your gun.
Oh, exactly.
That's why people have to understand.
Oh, he's unarmed.
He was unarmed and naked.
Well, first of all, if I was naked, that'd be pretty distracting.
So that's kind of, I have a weapon, so to speak.
Yeah, mine's so big I could use it as a giant snake that could wrap around their neck several times.
I actually become a more deadly weapon when I'm naked.
I swing it like this and just start hitting the guy like a big dildo.
But in any unarmed encounter with the cops, there's still always one gun involved, and that's the one that the police officer has.
An officer at one of my departments was killed by an unarmed 16-year-old that he gave a ride home to after they got into a scuple, and they fell down a flight of stairs together, and the officer hit his head and kind of blacked out and woke up to his gun being out of his holster.
So there's always a gun at play.
So that's what people have to understand.
Okay, well, so I think, and by the way, that cop was black, but AJ Plus and the left is trying to make this another example of racism.
I was actually surprised that they made that video of that just because of the fact that it already doesn't really fit the narrative that cops are out hunting black folks.
Well, it's a bright day, and he's not that dark-skinned.
So your brain could go for like tanned white man, and that's what they're hoping will go with.
Yeah.
Okay, this one, so he better not get fired.
That seems very cut and dry.
The fact there's a backlash against that is insane.
But here's another one that I think is much more ambiguous.
So Chelsea Manning, the Antifa trader who leaked secrets and did seven years in prison, I believe, was away from home.
But she had tweeted out a picture of herself standing on the edge of a building and said, I give up.
I can't do this anymore.
So they have to do what they call a wellness check, where they go in and make sure that this EDP isn't nuts.
I mean, isn't going to kill herself.
So she has cameras in her house.
Let's look at some of the footage here.
This is the intercept, which is a little less liberal than AJ Plus.
Oh, that's AJ Plus?
Oh, no, AG Plus is reporting on the intercept.
Okay, so I don't care about the key.
That's fine.
Why is they're making that look?
We don't know how it could have turned out had Chelsea.
Look at this guy.
But they definitely had four cops coming in with their gun that wasn't.
Okay, go back a bit there, Dave.
Because it looked like one of them had a taser, but the others had guns.
Yeah, that's probably what they did.
typically you would decide before you go into a place like that who's going to have a taser out, who's going to have a gun out.
We don't know how it works.
Okay, well, here in New York, Cops are telling me you don't have a gun drawn when you go check on someone.
That's really bad news.
You'd have a taser out.
You'd maybe have a shield.
But drawing guns is a huge no-no.
I think it depends on the circumstance.
So in this case, if they're making entry into a place, somebody probably needs to have a gun drawn.
I think that's wise.
NYPD may have a different policy.
If I was in that same group of four people who had to enter into a home for any reason, I don't even care what the reason is.
If I'm walking into a door that I don't know what's on the other side, we're probably going to have both of those items drawn.
Oh, really?
So say a neighbor says, I heard yelling next door.
Can you go check it out?
And then you go there and you can maybe hear music, but no one's in there.
Well, I wouldn't go in the house in that case.
So this is like every case is different and probably boundaries of state law for what extent you handle well-being checks or wellness checks is going to be different.
You know, laws are constantly changing with the mental health and how law enforcement relates to that.
So they're different for juveniles with adults.
And I would have to have a pretty strong, reasonable suspicion to believe that someone is in danger in the home, whether it's someone in danger of themselves or others before I could enter into that.
So like the domestic example, if somebody heard arguing and I show up and I don't hear arguing, well, I'm not going to go in the home.
I don't have any constitutional standing to just walk into somebody's house just because someone called and said they heard arguing.
So this is a little bit different because somebody with standing in Chelsea's life had to have contacted the police department in order for her to be checked on.
So when you have family members or someone that has a particular connection and there's a lot of information that AJ Plus or whoever is there is not giving us, then they made the decision to go in.
And it doesn't seem like they're debating that someone shouldn't have gone to the house or gone in.
But yeah, I would definitely have a gun drawn and a taser drawn if I'm going in there because two reasons, if you'll indulge me real quick.
One is there was a young female officer killed here because some guy wanted to kill a cop and called instead the neighbor had a barking dog.
So they walk up top and then he shoots her in the face with a shotgun.
So it's not uncommon to get almost like a reverse swatting call that you've got to be careful of.
It doesn't happen all the time, but that's the problem.
It's kind of like walk across a minefield and tell them, well, there's only four mines left.
So walk across this mile-long thing.
And so you're going to be on the defensive, obviously.
You want to be ready.
So there's that.
And two is that obviously the family would be upset if she had hurt herself or someone else and the police took no action.
So you kind of put the police in a position where at some point, well, you got to do something.
Well, there's a few other criteria no one's talking about.
One, this is an ex-con.
Now, I know she's a frail little mentally ill homosexual.
We call a woman.
But that's still in the books.
This is an ex-con.
So they've been to jail.
They have a prison.
Sorry, they have a criminal record.
Two, it's ex-military.
So this person has gun training.
And if we're going to just go by the calls, it's going to say, ex-con, ex-military, military training, has said, I'm going to kill myself.
I don't care about my life.
There's a lot of dangerous criteria there.
And here's another one that no one would ever talk about.
They're all women.
Wait, is he?
Wait, is she?
What?
Chelsea Manning seems to go back and forth.
But the cops going in there, and I seem to be one of the only people who thinks that women should not be police officers.
These chunky broads that look like my mom are going in there.
Yeah, the one looks like she just passed the witch under the house and the wiggle of oz.
She's a tiny little tiny little thing there.
It's like my mother-in-law is going to go beat up an ex-military, ex-con.
Look at them.
They look like your friend's girlfriend.
I think the one in the back, actually, that's a costume.
And she just tagged along or something.
I don't know what's going on there.
It's a Halloween party.
All right.
Well, we're out of time, Mike, but what's the final verdict here?
The cops are innocent in both videos?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, there's the fact that this is trumped up is beyond me.
I'm actually surprised the Chelsea Mannon thing hasn't had more traction.
I hadn't heard about that.
So usually the biggest stories will usually come across me.
But I hadn't heard about that at all.
So that's really interesting one.
I'm going to try to dig into it a little bit more and do a video reaction to it myself.
It should be good.
Okay, cool.
Well, let's check in with you soon.
Thanks for being on the show, buddy.
All right.
Thank you, man.
Hi, guys.
This is a lady, Francesca, I believe is her name.
I think she just goes by Francesca.
Maybe it's Francesca Ramsey.
Anyway, she does these videos called Decoded for MTV, where in a very snarky and patronizing way, she explains to you things that she actually knows nothing about.
Now, just for fun, and this is lame of me, I'd like to sort of get into her head just for a second here.
I think I recognize a type here.
And this type is, usually grew up with a white mom or in a middle-class black family in a white community, went to liberal arts school with white people, is dating a white guy, probably has this script written by white people.
And what these kind of black people are is they tend to be more militant than normal black people.
Like you meet a black guy on a construction site, he's not talking about Malcolm X or race at all, really.
But these people won't shut up about it.
And I think, and they always have sort of African-y hair, too.
They never have like Beyoncé weave like real black people like to get.
They always have to have braids or cornrows or an afro or something.
And here's the deal.
When you're a visible minority surrounded by whites, whites cherish you.
I noticed this in the suburbs.
There's very few black people where I live now.
And whenever there's a black person around, they get giddy and excited.
Or comedians are like this around Questlove.
They're always like, oh, my big, huge black friend.
Yay.
Hi, can I get you anything?
So one condition, though, you have, they don't want their black person.
You know, they see blacks as pets.
They don't want their black person to be too white.
You know that?
You're the whitest black guy I've ever met is used as an insult.
It means you're not cool enough.
You're not cultural enough for me.
So to cater to these liberals who cherish blacks, they get more militant.
They get more black power.
They talk about race a lot.
And then the white people feel good because they go, look at this.
I have a real black friend.
Like she's always talking about race and Malcolm X and she has an Afro and she wears African dashikis and stuff.
She's super, super black.
So I don't have your average black friend.
I've got like a real one.
I've got a bonafide one.
I have a collector's edition black person.
So that's why I think she's chosen this job.
I think that she is catering to white guilt because it's good money and it's what whites want their pet blacks to be.
It's kind of bizarrely racist in a way that we have her performing these acts to appease us.
Anyway, this one is called People Who Deny Racism Are Stupid Jerks Like Me.
I can't help but think this is directed to me because I always say this.
I always deny racism.
Now, obviously, there's a guy in the South who used the N-word yesterday.
Sure.
There's also a bunch of black people who said cracker.
So the little thin layer of racism that still exists, and I'm not denying it existed, the thin layer of racism still exists cancels itself out.
For every time a black guy doesn't get a job, there's an affirmative action guy where he got a job because he's black.
It's all basically awash at this point.
And there's a hell of a lot bigger prejudices like, for example, uglyism.
Uglyism is like 10 light years more prevalent than racism.
Anyway, let's, I haven't seen this yet, but I can just tell by the title it's going to be fun to debunk her debunking.
Have you ever had someone try and tell you that racism doesn't exist?
Well, here's why they're wrong.
Here's why they're wrong.
Notice the lack of curiosity.
It's just I'm going to tell you what's going on.
All right, today we're going to go through the most common excuses used to deny racism.
Let's take a look.
Um, we have a black president, so racism, poof.
She's not denying that the election of president she's talking about me, like not necessarily Gavin McInnis, but me as a type of person.
She really has a lot of respect for the people with the opposing view, does she not?
We're like, that wasn't even Down syndrome.
That was someone who was in a severe car accident and has brain damage.
And yeah, I think it is a pretty big deal there's a black president.
In fact, you know what I noticed after Obama was elected?
Boomers going, I was kind of shocked that America voted for a black guy.
And I would get pissed off as a new American and go, so you're calling us racist then?
If you're shocked that Obama was elected, then you just assumed we're racist.
Electing a black president is pretty consequential.
I think it's pretty much the end of the line as far as the race hucksters go.
How are you denying that?
Oh, it's just one president.
God, thank the Lord he was not shot.
Okay, go ahead.
And Barack Obama was a huge sign of progress, but it didn't stop anyone from making racist jokes and memes about the first family.
Plus, Obama's first term was surrounded by rumors that he wasn't really American and that he was a Kenyan Muslim out to destroy America.
Stop bring me all right.
So then that looks kind of anti-Semitic, by the way, what she's doing there.
Here's how fact-checking goes.
Birtherism has nothing to do with racism.
The birthers claim that his birth certificate is fake and he was not born in Hawaii, like he claims.
Now, I am agnostic on this subject.
I've never seen the birth certificate.
I don't really care.
I mean, the guy's basically Americans.
If he hustled some paperwork to become president, it's not a big deal to me.
But I have talked to people, Charles C. Johnson, to be specific, who claims, swears on a stack of Bibles that he's seen the fake birth certificate and it's clearly Photoshopped.
It's clearly fake.
So I don't know either way, but I'm definitely not arrogant about it.
And I definitely don't see it as evidence of racism because someone's mean to a black person is not evidence of racism.
I saw someone do this to me the other day.
They were saying, oh yeah, you don't think you're racist?
You made fun of, and then he lists like five black people.
I've made fun of a billion people.
The fact that some of them are black is actually proof that I don't see race as a factor.
But anyway, go ahead.
Terrible evidence so far.
The secret Muslim birth certificate.
Which, by the way, is a bogus conspiracy theory rooted in racism and more specifically Islamophobia.
Oh!
Yes, it is.
It's not rooted in racism.
I don't know where.
You don't just get to say things and pretend they're a fact.
But yes, our fear of Obama's love of Islam is a form of a phobia.
I was scared.
I was scared at the way he was so friendly with Iran.
I was scared when he said, we shall not insult the prophet of Islam.
I was scared when he said, he started justifying jihadism by saying, well, we did some pretty bad stuff from the Crusades, you know?
Remember all that?
Sounds like a pretty justified phobia to me.
And again, Islam's not a race.
So you're still at zero, Francesca.
But this is fun.
Racism?
Then what about Oprah?
Boom.
Let's put this to rest once and for all.
Will Smith saved us from aliens, not racism.
One person overcoming incredible obstacles doesn't make those obstacles disappear for everyone else.
That's like saying, J.K. Rowling was a single mom on welfare, and now she's a billionaire.
Dismantle all government assistance.
Hey, hey.
Just stop.
I'm lost.
Oprah is a good example of a woman who, by the way, had the worst childhood thanks to black people.
Black people raped her.
Black people beat her.
Black relatives molested her, not white ones.
And despite all that, she busted her ass and became one of the richest people in the world.
Sounds like President Obama to me.
I'm not denying struggles exist.
I'm saying your contention that we won't hire black people is clearly not true.
Here's the deal.
And this is especially true, I think, of white guys.
But we want the thing, the machine to move along.
Like, I don't see Koreans or Japanese having this trait as much as white people, white men specifically.
And our thing is, let's get the ball rolling.
Let's get this tractor rolling.
Let's get this machine on the go.
Maybe that's why the American economy is so good.
I don't know.
It just seems to be a Western trait.
So when we see a resume, we're like, this guy can run a tractor.
Oh, he knows how to fix, you know, the things that make machine parts.
He's a high-tech engineer.
Oh, salary seems reasonable.
All right, let's hire him.
Oh, yeah.
I did not know you were black.
You should have put that on the form.
No, thank you.
I want to disadvantage me and my machine based on some mumbo jumbo about race, even though you'd be good for me, make me look good, make my company work better, make my job more secure by hiring you.
But no, I'm not going to do any of that because of this deep-seated, irrational hatred I have.
Doesn't exist, lady.
We're too greedy.
And the same goes for friendship, by the way.
If some guy likes the Mets and he's funny and he's black, I love the Mets and I like riffing.
Come on in, dude.
Why would I deny myself some good riffs or deny myself a nice bitching session about Jay Bruce?
He's got to get out of the slump, by the way.
It's driving me insane.
All right, go.
My family never owned slaves.
Never.
We were allergic.
Okay, time for an analogy.
If your dad's toy soprano, then the house you live in, the car you drive, and your iPhone was paid for with mob violence.
You're not responsible for it, but you're definitely benefiting.
This is possibly the worst argument.
And I know this is like shooting fish in a barrel.
MTV's for little kids, right?
So I'm sitting here making fun of Barney the dinosaur.
It's cheap.
It's low-hanging fruit, but I'm petty.
And they get petty with us all the time.
That's my new thing, by the way.
No more high road.
Let's go low.
They call us Nazis.
Let's call them Nazis.
They get us fired.
Let's get them fired.
The gloves are off.
So I get petty.
Now, this concept that we got rich from slavery is just factually incorrect.
A tiny portion of Southerners did generate profits from slavery.
Slavery was a global phenomenon.
I would call it a global problem.
And America, I believe 5% of Southerners did indulge in this.
Many of them were black, by the way.
I think the first slave owner ever in America was black.
Blacks had slaves after the end of slavery.
But we had a massive civil war.
And according to you people, that was to end slavery.
So you're welcome, by the way.
620,000 dead, equivalent of 5 million today, American Holocaust.
You're welcome for ending slavery, lady.
But after the Civil War, we were deeply in debt.
Do you understand?
In other words, our wealth from that tiny bit of wealth from slavery was gone.
You understand?
So Tony Soprano, the mob, they were all broke, gone.
Tony had to start from scratch, from nothing, from debt.
Tony Soprano had to start from debt with a new career in, I don't know, pipe fitting.
So no, that mob house you just showed was no longer a mob house.
The mob house was burned to the ground.
America has no slavery money.
It's all gone.
Stop saying that stupid myth.
And what the f ⁇ has that got to do with racism in 2018, by the way?
You're going back 400 years to prove that racism exists today?
I mean, the logic is pathetic.
I think, you know what I think this is?
She went to white schools, I assume.
I don't think this is about race.
I think this video is a great example of the death of our educational system.
I think teachers should be freaking out watching this and professors going, we've prevented young people from critical thinking.
We have turned their brains to mush.
I feel terrible.
Go ahead.
Look, I didn't rob the bank, but I'm definitely spending the money, okay?
You or your family didn't have to own slaves in order to benefit from slavery.
Denying the rights of black people resulted in increased wealth, opportunities, and advancement for all white people, even if they didn't directly participate in slavery themselves.
Excuse me.
Just the Irish.
That argument, she was arguing against people 400 years ago, but telling us.
I mean, there's a major disconnect there.
And even when you go back 400 years, it's a terrible argument.
All right.
So here we go.
The Irish were slaves.
I saw this in the prompter, and I assume she's going to say that's not a fact, but let's just play it to be sure.
They were also slaves.
So.
First of all, no.
While it's true that Irish immigrants were often discriminated against in the United States, many came to America as indentured servants, which isn't slavery.
And while the Irish started as an oppressed group in America, they were able to shed their minority status and become white largely by joining in on the oppression of black people, often through violence.
What?
Stop.
What the hell did she just say?
We got on the...
Is that what she's saying?
Irish people became white by beating up black people?
Is that what she's saying?
Hey, Irish trash.
You don't belong here.
Oh, yeah, watch this.
I'll beat up a Negro.
Hey, that was pretty good.
He's covered in blood.
All right, come on in.
Crazy talk.
The Irish need not apply was the 60s.
So you're off by hundreds of years there.
Totally different thing.
And yes, there was Irish were, the whites were generally indentured servants because they died on the plantations.
We didn't have sunblock back then.
Irish slaves were considered below black slaves because they died so fast.
They were literally white trash.
They'd get thrown out with the garbage.
And black slaves would make jokes about white slaves because they were such losers.
They were so useless.
All they could do was wait tables inside because they couldn't handle the southern heat.
And there is a lot.
So she didn't deny that it happened.
That's okay.
But I've seen the New York Times and a lot of people say the new white supremacist trope, the new hot lie, pretending there was Irish slaves.
So a lot of liberals are just flat out denying it.
Now, I've seen evidence via Jim Goad that there was more white slaves brought here than black slaves.
He only has one piece of evidence.
He talks about a pamphlet that talked about 40, 4,000 people kidnapped and spirited away.
That's why they call, the term spirits, spirited away, comes from drunks being stolen from the streets of London and Wales and Ireland and shipped over here.
The term kidnap is rooted in slavery, stealing children, napping, stealing passed out people.
So there's no denying that white slavery existed.
The indentured servant thing is just a matter of them dying too much in other areas.
And, and this is, I don't, I only know this as a strong theory, but I can't stand by this.
There are those who say that the white slavery rate was upwards of 400,000.
What was it?
40 years at 4,000 a year, something like that?
Or 10 years at 4,000 a year?
No, 400,000.
You do the math, all right?
Jim Goat's number ends up at 400,000.
I believe we brought in 360,000 slaves.
By the way, 10 million were taken from Africa.
1 million died getting to the boats.
And we got 360,000.
Brazil got like 3 million.
No one talks about that.
They're not living in Tony Soprano's house.
All right, so that didn't go as bad as I thought with the Irish one.
At least she admits it happened.
Go ahead.
Privilege?
I worked my ass off to get where I'm at.
I know, I know.
No one is saying that you're not.
In reality, everyone has to be aware of it.
I'm quiet from there, too.
White privilege doesn't mean you've had it easy.
It just means that you don't have to deal with structural racism.
Just like as a straight person, I don't have to deal with homophobia.
Now, classism.
That's what I'm saying.
Wait, stop, stop, stop.
So, white privilege exists, right?
This argument is really weird.
This whole concept that whites just have this red carpet for them, and they use evidence like, well, when a white person gets on an elevator, no one grabs their purse, but when a black guy does, they do.
Yeah, that's because people have noticed a pattern, and a disproportionate number of purse snatchers in America are black.
Sorry, they are overrepresented in crime statistics, and people notice patterns.
People are more dubious shop owners of a young black teenager than a young white teenager because that retail person has noticed a pattern.
And by the way, cops in New York, remember the stop and frisk thing?
Bloomberg brought this up.
Cops actually stop black people less than they appear in the crime statistics.
They stop white people more than they appear in crime statistics.
So Asian people get on an elevator and no one grabs their purse.
Noticing a pattern doesn't mean that you are somehow disprivileged.
And by the way, when you get on an elevator and someone grabs their purse, get mad at the black purse snatcher who generated this pattern, this condition, this stereotype.
Stereotypes are often based on facts, and crime stats are crime stats, despite the fact that the Attorney General Eric Holder decided to remove race from the crime stats so he could continue whining about how unfair life is.
Classism, that's the issue.
Now, this is Jim Golds.
Poverty sucks for everyone, but racism and classism aren't interchangeable.
You can change your class, but you can't change your race.
Not to mention, poor people of color have to deal with classism and racism.
Add to that, things like housing and job discrimination are usually the reason many people of color are in poverty in the first place.
Um, excuse me, I have friends.
This is getting tedious, is it not?
Classism.
I don't like this is Jim Goad's book, Redneck Manifesto.
He said it's not race, it's class.
He's changing that.
His philosophy is evolving, as Malcolm X's did.
And he's starting to think, nah, classism isn't a thing.
And I'm inclined to agree with him.
Classism is a major deal in Britain, and your accent, they still talk about it.
If someone's like, oh, what am I doing at a party like this with all you posh people?
They can't believe that the poor are allowed around the rich.
Here in America, we're all nouveau-riche.
I mean, think of baby boomers.
They bug me, and I bitch about them a lot.
I once actually called them booboo bummers by mistake.
I was so mad, and my wife always calls them boo-boo-bummers now.
But every baby boomer we know, all our parents, they pretty much grew up poor, right?
I mean, they're all upper middle class now, and they did great in real estate, and they also have some dumb job like, I'm a consultant, whatever the hell that means.
But they grew up poor, and that's, and they don't have a posh accent, and they don't, look at the way boomers eat.
They look like a cave person that just got out of jail because they're not classy.
So I don't buy classism as a thing, and I obviously don't buy white privilege as a thing.
And the fact that it's being pounded into our children's heads is actually an example of racism.
All right, go ahead.
Friends slash family slash dated someone of that race.
Who you're friends with, related to, or in a relationship with doesn't keep you from being responsible for your actions.
If you say or do something racist, you have to deal with the consequences.
Look, my black and or Latino and or Asian and or wait, she's onto a new one now already.
Yeah, whites are often mocked for saying, some of my best friends are black.
I think that's a pretty big deal.
If you're a racist, the term racist, let's just get it settled now.
It means that I judge someone by their race and I'm incapable of exceptions.
Of course, you're allowed to notice patterns.
That's impossible not to notice patterns.
But as they say in the controversial book, The Bell Curve, Richard Hernstein and Charles Murray say, when you meet someone, you have to start with a blank slate.
If you don't start with a blank slate, you're racist.
We all start with blank slates, okay?
Racism doesn't exist.
Racism means I refuse to see exceptions.
And if you have a black friend, you clearly can see an exception.
You clearly go, I don't have a deal breaker.
Black isn't a deal breaker for me.
Look, my friend's black.
That's proof that you're not racist.
Yeah, but if you say something racist, you still have to be held accountable.
Yeah, I know.
But that doesn't mean racism is a thing.
Here's how I define a thing.
I know I'm repeating myself on some of these points, but I want to sort of make this the be-all end-all on the subject.
Here's what a thing is, okay?
A thing is when you're eating dinner and people go, ooh, that means it's a thing.
You understand?
So if you were to sit down at dinner with a bunch of strangers and say, by the way, I'm a vegetarian, people would go, oh, okay.
If you were to say, hi, I just want to make it clear, I'm a racist.
I also deny the Holocaust exists.
I hate Jews and I hate black people.
Everyone at that table would go, what?
People would leave.
You'd hear cutlery dropping.
It would be major because racism is considered a crazy flat earth kind of a thing.
Racism isn't a thing.
Because if you say it at a dinner table, people would sh their fing pants.
All right, go ahead.
Our Native American friend does not care when I use that slurp.
Look, one person can't speak for an entire group of people.
So if your friend is okay with using certain language around them, you can't expect everyone that shares their background to have this.
What's this got to do with racism existing?
Now she's changing the hypothesis to being when you're allowed to say the n-word.
Some people, my black friend lets me say the n-word, so I get to say it to other people.
No one has claimed that.
No one has claimed that they get to go up to strange black people and say the n-word to them.
No one wants to do that.
Secondly, and thirdly, this isn't your hypothesis.
Your hypothesis was, I'm going to prove to you that racism is still a thing.
Now you're changing it to, you can't just call people N-words.
Name of page.
Thanks.
Hey, everybody, listen up.
I got an announcement.
Bobby Lee White is now allowed to say the N-word.
We decided.
Who are you arguing against?
I got four words for you on black crime.
She's obviously pushing to get to 10 here.
This is some lazy white male who wrote this, probably your boyfriend, is like, God, I want to get to happy hour.
I'll just say, you can't say that Asians can say the N-word.
I'll make that number eight.
I won't make it near the end so they don't catch on.
All right.
Black on black crime.
What's that got to do with what?
Here's the thing.
If you're a victim of a crime, chances are the criminal is most likely going to look like you.
In fact, 83% of white murder victims were killed by other white people.
So in reality, black on black crime is no more of a real thing than white on white crime.
Stop.
That's insane.
Yes, she's right that white people get killed by white people, black people get killed by black people, but you're something like 50 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person.
When you look at black on white crime versus white on black crime, especially with rape, black on white rape versus white on black rape, the statistics are stunning, shocking.
And to deny this, by the way, even in her thing, I think it's 84% of whites are murdered by whites, something like 96% of blacks are murdered by blacks.
But the black murder rate, they're 14% of the population, and they represent a massive swath of the murder rates and the crime rates and the rape rates.
A massive swath.
Now, a better argument would be they're driven to this horrible crime stats by poverty and racism and blah, blah, blah, to make excuses for it.
I get that, and I have excuses for it too.
I think it's welfare.
I think it's shattering the black family.
I think it's kids without dads having no direction and idle hands lead to drugs and drugs lead to more serious crimes.
That's my excuse for it.
But to deny that it exists, that's just amateur hour at the Apollo.
According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, in 2010, 62,593 blacks were the victims of white violence.
During that same year, 320,082 whites were the victims of black violence.
That's five times as many violent attacks, but that number is misleading since the black and white populations are not the same size.
When 38 million black Americans commit five times as many violent crimes on 197 million whites as they receive, what you discover is that black perpetrators violently assault white victims 25 times more frequently.
And when it comes to a specific kind of violent crime, aggravated assault, the number of black on white crimes is 200 times higher than white on black crimes.
All right, we got number 10 here.
Racism is never going to go away if you keep freaking talking about it.
Um, let's just think about that one for a second.
Have you ever solved a significant problem in your life by ignoring it?
That's what I do with my taxes.
It worked for Wesley Snipes.
Oh, wait, it didn't?
Ugh.
She acts like a...
Like, no one says, I want racism to go away.
It worked for Wesley Snaps and his taxes.
No one's ever said anything like that.
Now, we do say, can you shut up about racism, please?
It's tedious.
And by the way, I was saying this to Denine Barelli the other day.
If I was black and everything came back to racism and race, racity, race, race, race, I would be kind of embarrassed.
Like, say everyone talked about uglyism with me, and they're like, the real reason Gavin didn't get the race is because he's so ugly.
Look at that.
Oh, just because he's ugly, you're not letting him go to that party.
Oh, look at more uglyism with Gavin.
I'd be like, can you guys shut up with the uglyism, please?
This is getting embarrassing.
You're making me sound super, duper ugly.
Enough with the slavery.
We're sorry.
Enough with The civil rights stuff and the freedom riders.
We went through all of this.
We spilled rivers of blood ending slavery.
People died in the streets to end segregation.
That was then.
This is now.
Please show some reverence for the past and some gratitude.
And let's all just accept the fact that in 2018, isms are for college students who want to bitch about things that don't exist.
Now, in the past, I've accused women of not being dexterous and saying they can't even fall correctly.
This is not that.
This is a woman really committing to a bit.
And I would like to thank Alcohol for helping her to make this slapstick joke as funny as it can be.
This is a real challenge.
I've tried to do this.
And unless it's a mat or water, it's really hard not to put your hands down when you fall.
Let's check out someone giving Buster Keaton a run for his money.
And that's really good.
That takes some real talent.
And boom.
She kind of almost put her hands down, but she really got some impact.
She may have passed out, actually.
She may have knocked herself out.
You know when people say knock yourself out?
She literally did it.
