	Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
	If you like this video, I hope you'll share the link with some of your friends.
	If you listened to Joe Biden's inaugural address, it's clear that the biggest problem the country faces is white people.
	Mr. Biden worried more about racism, white supremacy, nativism, and systemic racism than about COVID or the economy or anything else.
	Of course, only white people can be racist.
	So the greatest challenge to America is us.
	White people built the country, but we are what Mr. Biden called the harsh, ugly reality of racism, nativism, fear, and demonization that have long torn us apart.
	Mr. Biden also fretted that violence sought to shake this Capitol's very foundation.
	And that was racism, too.
	As CNN explained, the Capitol attack was white supremacy.
	Plain and simple.
	PBS and National Public Radio reported that the Capitol insurrection was never about the election.
	It was about white supremacy.
	The people who broke into the Capitol weren't asking for segregated schools.
	They were trying to rescue an election they thought was stolen.
	But just two days after the riot, Joe Biden had them pegged for white supremacists and terrorists.
	I'm trying to figure out where this idea comes from.
	Well, on January 15th, there was an article in the Washington Post called To Understand Trump's Support, We Must Think in Terms of Multiracial Whiteness.
	It's by Professor Christina Beltran, who is Director of Graduate Studies at NYU.
	Here is the very first line of her article: The Trump administration's anti-immigration, anti-civil rights stance has made it easy to classify the president's loyalists as a homogeneous mob of white nationalists.
	She's saying if you voted for Donald Trump, you're part of a mob of white nationalists.
	It's simple.
	Vote for Trump, you're a racist.
	But she notes what she calls an unsettling fact.
	More than a quarter of Hispanic votes and even some blacks were part of that mob of white nationalists.
	How can that be?
	I call this phenomenon multiracial whiteness, she writes.
	The promise that they too, meaning non-whites, can lay claim to the politics of aggression, exclusion, and domination.
	You see, if you voted for Trump, You voted for aggression, exclusion, and domination.
	And if you aren't white, voting for Trump made you an honorary white person.
	She says that white politics is about unequal distribution of land, wealth, power, and privilege, a form of hierarchy in which the standing of one section of the population is premised on the debasement of others.
	And here's the conclusion.
	Multiracial whiteness Offers citizens of every background the freedom to call Muslims terrorists, demand that undocumented immigrants be rounded up and deported, deride BLM as a movement of thugs and criminals, and accuse Democrats of being blood-drinking pedophiles.
	You see, all this awful stuff is what white people do.
	And if a few deluded nonwhites get sucked in, they're acting white.
	Professor Beltran has got it figured out.
	Everything she hates in politics is white.
	Now here's a different angle.
	You may remember that last summer the National Museum of African American History and Culture decided to warn about the menace of whiteness.
	It put up an elaborate page of the usual stuff about white privilege, white supremacy, and the need for white people to confront their whiteness and learn just how awful they are.
	Of course, facing your whiteness is hard and can result in feelings of guilt, sadness, confusion, defensiveness, or fear.
	But white people have got to do that in order to end racism.
	When the page originally went up, it included this list of white traits that oppress people of color, such things as rugged individualism, the scientific method, and a strong work ethic.
	It went on to list being on time, Planning for the future, delayed gratification, being polite, and controlling your emotions.
	That's how whites oppress everyone else.
	Well, even a few blacks thought that this made it sound as though black people shouldn't believe in science or be on time.
	So the museum took the list down.
	But the point is this.
	Blacks at the Smithsonian were complaining about what they called white culture.
	Anything distinctly white is oppressive.
	And therefore bad.
	And this is a perfect complement to what the Hispanic professor Christina Beltran wrote in the Washington Post.
	Everything that is bad is white.
	So if it's white, it's bad.
	And if it's bad, it's got to be white.
	No wonder Joe Biden is so worried about white people.
	One of the first things that he did was lift Donald Trump's ban on teaching critical race theory.
	This means government employees will once again be taught that all white people are intrinsically bigoted.
	Mr. Biden said he had to lift the ban because of the unbearable costs of systemic racism.
	He also issued this executive order on advancing racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government.
	It says: Everything the government does has to be racially conscious because our nation deserves an ambitious, whole-of-government equity agenda.
	Equity. Watch out for that word.
	As Kamala Harris explained in a campaign ad, equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.
	Equal opportunity isn't good enough.
	Equality merely means everyone gets the same chance.
	Everyone gets a box.
	Equity means the government may decide to take away your box and give it to someone else.
	And as a practical matter, this means discrimination against white people.
	When Mr. Biden announced plans to help businesses hit by COVID, he said, our priority will be black, Latino, Asian, and Native American-owned small businesses, women-owned businesses.
	Well, who gets left out?
	So, is the problem white supremacists?
	Trump supporters or white people?
	I keep going back to that Washington Post article and the Smithsonian.
	Whatever is bad is white, and whatever is white is bad.
	That is the message that we get from government, schools, churches, and certainly the media.
	And what do we find at the heart of whiteness?
	Race, racism, and white privilege.
	A nation's a government and its institution should represent its people.
	Ours don't represent us.
	Joe Biden says whites are the problem.
	And his executive order, one of the first things he did, will stick it to them.
	The president looks like us, but he doesn't speak for us.
	He speaks against us.
	And he is paving the way for a new America in which not even the old symbols will remain.
	This summer, remember, 30 statues of Christopher Columbus came down because Columbus was the first white man to come here.
	Pretty soon, you'll be carrying a piece of paper in your wallet that's meant to remind you just how bad white people are.
	And what do you think it's going to be like when whites are a minority?
	You have a passport and you pay taxes, but if you're white, you're a stateless person, like the Kurds or the Palestinians.
	The flag is the same, and so is the Constitution, but it's a different country.
