Time Text
You were so bothered by my costume that you turn around to came over he come over here and I don't know confront me about it.
Since you're bothered by that, would you be bothered by a woman going into a Planned Parenthood to terminate her black baby?
Would you be bothered enough to turn around and want to stop that?
No.
No, I wouldn't.
So a costume is worse than someone taking the life of their baby.
It's not a life yet.
Hello!
How are you?
How are you?
Happy Halloween.
Happy Halloween to you too.
Nice.
Do you like my costume?
No, not at all.
Why?
Yeah, what about his?
I don't Which one's less offensive.
I guess yours would be less offensive because you're a minority dressed up as like you know, uh somebody in the majority, but I would say yours is like that's why I had to come back.
Like I actually was on my way home.
I was so cute.
This looks so cute on me.
You were like, I gotta take a second look.
That's not what I said at all.
That's not what I said at all.
I thought I'm like of the thousands of costumes, you could be like the thousands of people you could be, you chose to wear that.
Yeah, I I think it's cute.
But you know, you're a white woman and like that's you know, it's kind of like reminiscent of she like giving honor to that whole tradition, you know.
What if she's Pocahontas?
You know, Pocahontas was a great American hero.
Maybe she wants to be Pocahontas.
Pocahontas was actually taken advantage of by many white people that came over here and raped and pillaged the land of Native Americans.
I have to ask, what do you think about Elizabeth Warren?
I think you know she's smart.
Oh she's pretty smart.
Uh I think she's well spoken.
Like, you know, I haven't chosen a particular candidate yet, but So this is offensive, made you do a double take.
Did you do a double take when she lied about being Native American to get scholarships and take another actual Native American's place in college?
See, I'm not entirely like sure about like all of the A test and it came out that she was one 1,002% Cherokee, which means that most people you run into on a daily basis are more Cherokee than Elizabeth Warren, but she took somebody's spot in college away from them so that she could go to college for free.
Did she take away like you know okay the fact that she I don't agree with the fact that she put down that she was Native American, like I will say like that's pretty messed up.
Yeah.
So you won't vote for her.
I didn't say all of that.
Like, you know, all of the candidates like are pretty like there's like pros and cons to a lot of them.
It's there's still a lot.
What's a pro about Donald Trump?
I mean, I guess like what he has going for him is that he's been president for four years.
But that's not a pro.
What's a policy?
The First Step Act, which was the first reasonable step to criminal justice reform that's been passed in the last 20 years.
I wasn't aware that he did that.
I mean, quite frankly, everything I hear on the news about him, like you know personally, like he's not my candidate of choice.
I didn't vote for him in 2016.
I have no intention of voting for the incumbent.
Like, and so I there's like, you know, many other candidates, both in the middle and the left that I'm taking a look at, but personally just kind of all the things that has been blown up about him about what he said about women and minorities and what do you say about minorities?
Okay, so there's like countless of different stories about you know, calling like microaggressions like my African American.
Just what is this for?
What is this for?
Liberty Hangout.
What okay?
But why is that offensive?
Okay.
Can I get to the women then?
Okay.
You mentioned stay on track.
But let's hear let's hear what what's offensive about him saying my African American.
Well, it's it's a bit pejorative because it kind of like, you know, it's it it did it diminishes that person.
Like, you know, like my African American and like it's kind of playing up on the political correctness thing.
You mean like if you said this is my white friend?
I mean, normally I would just say this is my friend insert name here.
But it would be okay to say this is my white friend, but not okay to say this is my African American.
I was I would be fine with this is my African American friend, but my African American, like you was would you say this is my white or this is?
Are you offended when let's say rappers constantly say my or when you know Yeah when they say the N-word?
Are you offended when rappers say the N-word?
You know, like as time has gone on, like I haven't been the biggest Fan of the usage, but I recognize that's part of the culture and what what part of the culture?
I mean, I don't I've never heard of Martin Luther King, who is probably the most influential African American in recent times ever using that word.
Why is that part of our culture?
Well, we don't know what he said behind closed doors.
And there was a lot of people who are not going to be able to do that.
He's a communist.
Okay.
Okay.
You know.
I didn't necessarily ask to get on camera and stuff.
Well, you approached me, and so like you you have consented.
I just want to know why is it so bothersome to you that you spent your energy to come back over and talk to me about my costume?
It bothered me because ultimately there's still like a lot of Native American people that are suffering at the hands of what's happened.
Like, you know, for centuries and like you know, there's still like a lot of them living on reservations, dealing with issues that ultimately came about because of the power structure here in America.
And so, at least for me, like I feel like I couldn't have gone about my day.
Like, you know, we may not agree on how you're dressed, but like at least I got my two cents, and like I kind of don't like it.
Was it worth it?
Yeah.
To me it was.
Just like it was.
So to turn around and come over and say something about my outfit, because it bothered you that much.
Do you not think that you maybe have been I'll be blunt, brainwashed to think that this is what you should be spending your energy on?
I don't think I've been brainwashed.
How?
Do you oppose racism?
Yes.
So if I told you about how someone was killing black people in mass, would you oppose that?
Yes.
Okay.
How about how about some numbers here?
Okay.
So imagine if half of the black babies that would have been born in one area were murdered.
What would how would you feel about that?
Bad?
I mean, yeah.
So what if I told you that Planned Parenthood accepted donations?
That's where you're going to be able to do it.
They accepted donations from the that were specifically um targeted, and the donations given to them, they said we want these donations to be for a black baby.
How does that make you feel?
Actually, in New York City, there's more black babies uh terminated than are born.
Well, I'm I stand, I consider myself to be pro-choice, and so at the end of the day, like women regardless of race and freed, like if they have a choice for men or for women.
For I have a new question.
So I thought we were talking about Halloween costumes, and now you're getting on me about he's already talking about planned parenthood.
That's not my question.
That's not my question.
So, my new question is you were so bothered by my costume that you turn around to came over here, come over here and I don't know, confront me about it.
Since you're bothered by that, would you be bothered by a woman going into a Planned Parenthood to terminate her black baby?
Would you be bothered enough to turn around and want to stop that?
No.
No, I wouldn't.
So a costume is worse than someone taking the life of their baby.
It's not a life yet.
Alright, well, there we go.
What what do you consider a lie?
Once that baby is outside of the mother's womb, trying to breathe.
We're gonna move on.
Thank you so much.
So you say once it breathes outside the mother's womb.
So a baby can survive at 22 weeks.
Well, I hope you two have a great day.
I hope you don't get bothered by Halloween this year.
It must be a horrible time for you.
You're getting your get your phones out because we're famous.
You don't want to miss this moment.
I got a question.
How how how who are we?
I'm I'm obviously wooded from Toy Story.
And and that's Elizabeth Warren running for president.
What do you think?
Wait, can I skip it?
Don't touch it.
Don't touch it.
