How am I racist?
Because we're talking about black people and you're saying that they're not oppressed.
Why is that racist?
Because they are oppressed.
What's the definition of racism?
You are against black people.
You are, you are...
Yes!
*Dramatic music* you you
His corporate tax rate went down to 21% and that has helped the black community that are business owners.
Sorry?
You don't know about the black community.
Why don't I?
Because you're not black.
So what are you?
I don't know about the black community.
I'm not trying to speak for them.
Sorry, my mask keeps falling down.
But I'm not trying to speak for them, but I'm just saying that you shouldn't say what's good or what's bad for the black community because we don't know.
We aren't black.
Are you a police officer?
No, I'm not.
Do you have an opinion about what the police officer should do and should not do in our country?
Yes, actually.
The police officer.
Do you understand that I can't have an opinion on black community and black issues because I'm not black?
You have an opinion on the police in this country.
You're not a police officer.
That's different because you can wake up and put a police...
You can't take off your black skin.
You can't take out your melanin.
Okay?
People don't choose to be black.
People choose to be cops.
Okay?
So that's totally different.
You can't compare black people to the oppression of cops because cops are not oppressed.
Black people.
Neither are black people.
Black people are oppressed.
How?
Would you like to talk about the crime rates for black people?
How?
For their faulty imprisonment?
Would you like to talk about the race wage gap?
Would you like to talk about the racism that is underlying the foundation of the police?
I would like to, like, what about the police is not racist?
How are black people oppressed?
Black people are oppressed because they are getting gunned down by police every day.
What?
They're getting targeted by police.
No.
You can look.
No, they're not.
You can look at the police statistics.
Black people are targeted highly more.
I've done like many research on this.
Amazing.
So you know the numbers.
You know the numbers.
Yes.
How many times more likely is a police officer to die by the hands of a black person than the opposite the other way around?
Are you talking about police on black on police crime, right?
How many times more likely is a police officer to die by the hands of a black person than the other way around?
Are you like talking about the statistic where like once police already have black people like a cop is 18 and a half times more likely to die at the hands of a black person that they're in an altercation with than the other way around How is it then cops are out there targeting black communities and if they are targeting black communities That's a good thing.
They should be out there in black communities because they commit 50% of the crime besides being 13% of the population.
Two things wrong with that point.
The first thing is that you're saying that once they commit and they are in an altercation, the police, with a person of color, they're 18 times more likely.
18 and a half, I believe you said.
However, this does not account for the fact that black people are sought out by police.
There are more cops in black neighborhoods.
Why?
And that's, I was going to get to that.
That's the second point.
They are not there because black
people are more dangerous that's a racist concept I didn't say that black people are not more okay well black people are not more dangerous they're there because there is systematic racism in this country and black people are being targeted because they want them in jail why do they end up in jail what is a contributing factor to black people ending up in jail black people being targeted by police no yes no yes it's because we removed the fathers from their home we incentivized single motherhood in their community through Lyndon B. Johnson's the
Grey Society program.
We told single mothers, continue to be single mothers.
It's okay.
We'll replace the father figure in the home with daddy government and we'll give you money.
Okay, I have a company on that.
We sit there.
Okay, go ahead.
Sorry.
Okay, sorry.
You can keep going if you want.
No?
Okay.
So, where are the black people, where are the black fathers going?
To jail.
Why?
Because they're getting put in jail.
I don't know how else to make that figure.
Because they commit 50% of the crime.
And why is it?
Why are more people, why are, I'm so, I'm so confused.
Okay, me too.
then where the where the fatherhood rate in black communities far higher back during segregation back during jim crow laws about black communities?
She wants segregation, people.
I want segregation?
No, I'm just kidding.
Sorry.
Why would you say something?
Like, I don't understand what your term says.
How am I racist?
I'm sorry.
Okay, anyway.
How am I racist?
Because we're talking about black people and you're saying that they're not oppressed.
How is that racist?
Because they are oppressed.
I believe why do you look down on black people to the point you want to tell them they're oppressed?
Why do you want to make them victims?
Black people in this country are not victims.
They live in the greatest country on earth.
Is there a better country out there for someone to be black than America?
Just because we are...
Yes.
Where?
Probably Canada.
Canada, where their free speech is limited and their right to self-defense is obstructed?
I don't know.
Is it safer for a black person to be in a country where they can be prosecuted for their speech?
If you look at the crime statistics, yes, Canada is much better.
It's better for a black person to be in Canada where they can be jailed for their speech.
Look at the statistics.
I don't know what to tell you.
We have a movement based on a skin color right now.
And you're telling me you want to go to Canada.
You want the black people to go to Canada where it's safer and can be jailed for their speech.
I want black people to go to Canada.
I want it to be better here so black people don't have to go to Canada.
It is better here.
Canada, just like that's an example.
They have a lower unemployment rate here.
They have more jobs now under President Trump.
President Trump is funding their historically black colleges and universities like never before.
He's coming out with the First Step Act.
Do you have a problem with black people being in jail?
Great.
So do I. The innocent people who are not doing drugs or committing crime are part of that 50% of the crime rate.
President Trump has implemented the First Step Act with the help of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
94% of the people released under his First Step Act are black.
So I would like to...
I would like to point out a statistic.
Is that good?
Honestly, I kind of tuned you out, because what did you say?
You kind of just like Okay.
I would like to talk this.
How am I racist?
Okay, I'll talk about that now if you would let me.
You said how like you support black people not being in jail if they did nothing wrong.
70% of black offenders are non-violent offenders.
Okay, should we jail someone for having like, I don't know, two grams of weed?
No.
That's like what 50% of black people are in there for.
And you know, white people aren't in there in jail for that.
But that 50% of the vibe, that's violent crime.
That's not, yes, it is.
It's violent crime.
70% of black inmates imprisoned, incarcerated, are nonviolent action.
Non-violent activists.
And you should support President Trump and his prison reform.
Yes, he should.
I'd rather kill myself than go president.
You'd rather kill yourself than support a president who is helping those 70% of black people in for nonviolent offenses get out.
You didn't hear what I said.
No!
He said you'd rather kill yourself.
No, before that.
What'd you say?
70% of non-violent offenses.
Yes, so you used to support President Trump trying to help them get out of prison.
He's not going to help them.
He already has.
He already has the First Step Act.
95% of the people released were black.
And he can't.
Joe Biden put them in prison.
He was so hard on drug offenses.
He said, go out there in these communities, put people in jail for these offenses.
He wanted to go hard on crime.
1994 crime bill.
Look it up.
He has sat there and bragged about the fact that there is not a crime bill out there that doesn't have his name on it.
Because he is so gung-ho about crime.
I'm not saying Joe Biden is good, but he's better.
How is that better than releasing black people from prison for non-violent offenses?
He doesn't.
That's not part of his game plan.
He's already done it.
He's already done it.
He's made no dent.
Yes, he has.
This is the first step back he's also doing the platinum plan what he's also have you heard of as platinum i'm sorry these masks i'll tell you what the platinum plan yes what how can you look at what he's done in three years three and a half years the first step act hbcu's unemployment rate for black people, helping people get out of prison that Joe Biden in his crime bill put into prison there.
How can you say that is bad?
There is more to life than the unemployment rate, okay?
You have to look at different statistics in different factors of life than the unemployment rate is like what 3% right now?
So wow, our country's doing amazing.
No, it's not.
You have black people rioting in the streets.
You have white people rioting in the streets.
You have everybody shooting each other down.
That's not, that's, this is not how our country is.
The reason why unemployment rates are so important is M.L.K., when he was out there fighting for people, using his free speech, fighting for equal rights and civil rights, he said the most important thing that a black community could experience are jobs, money in their pocket, so they don't have to be at the will of the government.
Yes, it is important.
The unemployment rate absolutely is important, especially for black Americans.
Lowest ever.
That puts more money in their pockets.
They don't have to be in those neighborhoods anymore.
They don't have to go out there and be at the whim of the government that has put them in this situation.
How is that bad?
You have to look at more than unemployment rate.
And I understand that the employment rate going down is good.
That's a good thing.
But there's more to life than, you know, like people getting jobs.
And it's also.
That's where it starts.
That's very important for people to have money in college.
But how am I racist?
Well, you said black people weren't oppressed, which I'm still kind of hung up on.
What's the definition of racism?
You are against black people.
You are.
You are.
It's believing your skin color and your race is superior to another.
It's oppressing other people.
Yes.
So you're saying that.
Racism is your belief.
It's not actions.
It's your belief that your skin color and your race is superior to another.
I don't believe that, but if you think I do, please give me proof.
Okay, so two things.
First of all, you're saying that you can believe that you can actively oppress black people and say that you aren't racist?
You think, like, by the death?
Just give me examples.
I'm asking you.
Can you...
How am I racist?
Because she does not think black people are oppressed in a country where that was founded on black people being oppressed.
That's not the definition of racism.
Have a good day.
