Your mic is kind of covering your mouth a little bit. | |
Hey, hey, hey. | |
It's too bad Fat Albert's not funny anymore. | |
Wow, that's really good. | |
I know it's a shame. | |
Wow, inappropriate but very on point impression of Fat Albert. | |
Wouldn't you love to hear Fat Albert's opinion on this whole situation? | |
It's gone. | |
It's lost. | |
Lost to the sands of time. | |
Like tears in the rain. | |
It would be. | |
Probably wouldn't be very good. | |
I mean he has an honest point about the welfare state and where it's gotten us. | |
Blacks are very emotional. | |
That was more of a Satchmo. | |
What was Mushmouth? | |
What was his voice? | |
You want to hear the whitest thing I've ever said? | |
Yes. | |
So, I only know Fat Albert's voice because of Peggy Hill's impression of it on King of the Hill. | |
Oh my god, that probably sounds really good. | |
I've never seen that, but I need to. | |
Like, I've never seen an episode of Fat Albert. | |
Oh man, you miss about banging around the trash cans. | |
That was that shit. | |
You mean Doug? | |
Nope. | |
Doug Funny, banging on a trash can, drumming on a streetlight? | |
But, but like... Fat Albert did it first, but yes. | |
I think it's Fat Albert. | |
I think that's homage to Fat Albert. | |
Was he wearing a sweater vest when he did it? | |
Does Fat Albert wear a sweater vest? | |
I think he does. | |
Is Doug Funny's sweater vest a tribute to Fat Albert? | |
I think that song is, because they literally play instruments in a junkyard. | |
Hell yeah. | |
Yeah, that's like a whole, that's like, they're always there. | |
Spliffs are cooler than joints. | |
Because you're smoking two drugs at once. | |
Yeah, you can make that argument, I guess. | |
It's like... | |
Now I don't remember what I was going to say. | |
But it's, it's, the thing is you can smoke a joint a lot cooler than you can smoke a spliff because tobacco makes you like kind of choke a little bit, you know? | |
So if you're doing like cool. | |
If you're not cool. | |
If you're doing like cool, like French inhales and stuff like that, you know, um, then it's a lot easier to do with a joint, I guess. | |
It's like. | |
You can hold it in your lungs more. | |
It's like when people talk about getting cross faded. | |
Oh, for sure. | |
And I'm like, Oh, you mean just like partying? | |
Yeah. | |
Just hanging out. | |
Just like doing drugs? | |
Whenever I get cross-faded, it's when I'm praying really hard. | |
Get faded on the cross? | |
Get faded on the cross. | |
Oh, I see. | |
Okay. | |
How do you say that you're doing three drugs at once? | |
Like, what's the word for that? | |
Like, people who talk about being crossfaded, like, they're really insistent on people knowing that they're doing two drugs at once. | |
Being alcohol and weed. | |
But like, what if you're alcohol, weed, and coke? | |
Or alcohol, weed, and mushrooms? | |
Is that when you get like really specific names on it? | |
Like, I'm like, Kitty trippin'. | |
Yep, yeah, hippie trippy flippin'. | |
Hippie flippin'. | |
Yeah. | |
Yeah, see, that's like nerd shit. | |
Like, don't, like, try to classify my high. | |
Just let me fuckin' chill. | |
Just let me be. | |
Let me exist. | |
Once you do three jugs, you're officially just chillin'. | |
Chillin'. | |
All right, all right. | |
Breaking even. | |
That's how you're doing. | |
I feel really normal. | |
I got real drunk and then I smoked, so I'm going to take advantage of that, but then I was falling asleep, so I did a bunch of blowing. | |
Now I'm just regular, but very illegal. | |
Yeah, three drugs is chilling. | |
Uh, four drugs is coolin'. | |
Coolin', yep. | |
Uh, five drugs is boolin'. | |
Ooh. | |
That's, that's, that's very, um, but not like boolin' like, like, you know, like bloods do, but boolin' like Halloween. | |
You're like high on candy as well as coke and weed and alcohol. | |
So six is ghoulin'. | |
That's when you're high on murder. | |
The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia today. | |
So stay tuned, we're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up. | |
It's not beautiful when you go across that border. | |
Stay tuned guys. | |
We'll show you exactly what it looks like when you're going to get you. | |
I'm Alexander Edward. | |
And I'm Tony Boswell. | |
And we are Minion Death Cult. | |
The world is ending. | |
Anonymous Antifa assassins are responsible. | |
We're documenting it. | |
Okay, so obviously this episode is a day late. | |
3.11 dollars short because we're no longer doing Patreon. | |
I was going to say a cuck short. | |
Okay. | |
Matt, is that a reference to Mount Matt? | |
I don't think so. | |
I guess we're two cucks over. | |
Yeah, yeah. | |
Two cucks over the line, sweet Mary. | |
Yeah, we had a problem recording last night because Tony had car trouble getting to my house, which, like I said on Facebook and Twitter, is funny to me to have to drive somewhere else to record a podcast. | |
Yeah. | |
Like recording the podcast where I sleep for four years. | |
It's like a totally foreign idea to me to have to go somewhere to do that. | |
So I think that's funny and I think we should all laugh at Tony for having to drive to my house every week. | |
And there was a minute where I was like, oh, you could just come to me, but no, that doesn't work. | |
And then I was like, oh, cool. | |
I'll just take a Lyft, but I'm not trying to take a $30 Lyft. | |
Sorry. | |
Is it $30? | |
It would have been $30 one way. | |
Yeah. | |
It's not that far. | |
I know, right? | |
It's like 15 minutes, 20 minutes. | |
I don't even feel like it is to them. | |
Those people. | |
SIE. | |
Yeah, exactly. | |
We're dealing with IE miles here. | |
Cause it was, it was $30 to get from work to home yesterday. | |
Sucks. | |
But we're here now, and we have a wonderful show for you folks. | |
And shout out to a reviewer that we didn't acknowledge previously. | |
Young Lobo, 1979 on iTunes, reviewing the show, five stars. | |
So thank you so much for that in general. | |
That's all you have to do, five stars. | |
It's real easy. | |
iTunes, your podcast app, or whatever, but Young Lobo went the extra mile and left a written review as well that says, Alex and Tony are plumbing the depths of the rotting American boomer psyche, and thank goodness for that. | |
Lesser people would be driven to madness, but these brave soldiers march on. | |
A must listen. | |
Uh, probably the best review we've gotten. | |
No offense to all the other reviewers, we love all of you equally, but I feel like this encapsulates, um, sort of like, the burden that we carry every week. | |
Not to, not to, you know, ruin the magic, but uh, see the secret to not being driven to madness is you can't be driven to madness when you've lived there your whole life. | |
For me, the secret to not be driven to madness is by having a kitty in your lap at all times. | |
So tune in to the YouTube at youtube.com slash MinionDeathCult to see... lift up Tony there a little bit. | |
This is the real magic right here. | |
To see kitties in each of our laps, folks. | |
Yes. | |
We are by nature collectivists, we are by nature leftists, socialists, communists, and we agree with the principle of evenly distributed spoils, which in this case are the kitties. | |
And so we have evenly distributed kitties on each of our laps. | |
Because you're not a tyrant. | |
You know that you don't need two cats at all times. | |
So you're more than willing to, like, you know, give me a cat. | |
Yeah. | |
To hold me. | |
That's the way it should be. | |
See, we don't just talk shit. | |
We, like, actually live it. | |
And I'll let you know, if I had two cats, you'd be holding one. | |
We'd both be holding two cats. | |
That's the way it should work. | |
Okay, so we have a wonderful episode for you folks today. | |
I'll go ahead and let Tony introduce our first topic. | |
So, we couldn't avoid the dragon in the room? | |
The dragon energy in the room? | |
Yeah. | |
It finally happened. | |
Kanye went to the White House and met with Trump. | |
Mr. Kanye went to Washington. | |
Mr. West went to Washington. | |
Uh and was the Oval Office was full of cameras and media to watch them sit behind the desk and talk very much at Trump. | |
Um it's kind of the most amazing part of it was that just Trump was silent the whole time. | |
I think he knew just you gotta gotta kind of play this one cool because if they would have actually like talked he wouldn't have been able to They would have driven each other to more madness, for sure. | |
It would have been that meme where Spider-Man shows up to, like, arrest Spider-Man. | |
Exactly, yeah. | |
They're just both pointing at each other with their egos. | |
Yeah, that's exactly what would have happened. | |
But, uh, yeah, so Kanye went on a, as he said, a, um, what did he call it, a free, free flow Oh, his, like, diatribe? | |
I don't know. | |
He, like, you know, says it was this is all coming from the spirit. | |
This is all coming from my inside, you know? | |
And yeah, so I've been torturing myself with this stuff lately. | |
I thought it was going to be bad enough with that crazy ass TMZ interview that I watched the entire thing of because I hate myself. | |
But no, I watched the White House Conversation, as well. | |
Yeah. | |
And man, it was something else. | |
And if this is not the final nail in the coffin, this is not the final proof that we need, that Kanye needs to be completely cancelled, I don't know what the fuck is. | |
Because people are still... I saw someone wearing his shoes today. | |
And I said, it's weird that him wearing this hat It's not a political statement, but people still wearing his shoes is not. | |
Yeah. | |
I feel like if there was a Kaepernick shoe, and there is, they're Nikes, I guess. | |
You know, there's Nikes are now the Kaepernick shoe. | |
For some reason, wearing Nikes is a political statement to some people. | |
Yeah. | |
But wearing Yeezys is not still. | |
It's so weird to me. | |
But as long as people keep on buying his records and buying his shoes, this madness will continue. | |
Well, it's because, um... | |
Let me just lay some knowledge on you, Tony. | |
See, we live in a white supremacist country, and so a lot of the media is white-oriented. | |
And white people hate Colin Kaepernick, but they love Kanye now. | |
Oh, which is insane. | |
So, uh, wearing Kaepernick shit is a much bigger deal than wearing Kanye shit. | |
Yeah. | |
Very, very, very true. | |
But I mean, even saying regular folks, regular people who I think would consider themselves to not be Republicans or not be Trump supporters are still casually just wearing those shoes. | |
I kind of feel like it's because Kanye is like, For all the talk about how Kanye is shifting paradigms by embracing Trump and blowing people's minds, he's really only blowing white people's minds. | |
Exactly. | |
I mean in white conservative minds, I should say. | |
Most other people are like, okay, is his music still good? | |
Or is his clothes still good? | |
And I would say no. | |
I would argue that no, his music is not that great right now. | |
The music he has for other people is pretty damn good still. | |
But his own stuff is fucking... | |
I don't know anyways yeah so people are still they're like they're all telling him listen we're not mad we're disappointed just like your parents would have I guess but we should be mad we should be real mad we should be like yo shut the fuck up bro do you think like shoe heads are political by nature? | |
Absolutely not I mean no they're they're just they're just peak capitalists they're how are you gonna be political and be like but I make my statement through buying this item yeah um How expensive are the Yeezys? | |
I don't even know. | |
Oh, they're expensive. | |
So you have to be, like, invested in them? | |
Yeah. | |
I mean, just at, like, base cost, I think they're, like, $165. | |
But you can't even get them for that because you have to get them at a resale. | |
But his whole thing is supposedly to make it so everyone can have a pair. | |
Which is kind of cool but also goes against everything he was saying in the White House. | |
Yeah and the hat itself is funny because I don't know if he owns more than one. | |
I don't know if he just got one made and also you made the hat that says the statement but you didn't give money to the cause that you're backing. | |
Dude the hat fucking pisses me off man because like That interview with TMZ. | |
Yeah. | |
Extremely cringe, extremely painful. | |
It's like what he was saying, you know, when he started wearing the hat. | |
Oh, I changed the meaning of the hat. | |
By me wearing it, I changed the meaning, and then I also changed the brim a little bit. | |
I changed the shape of the hat. | |
And the shape is way different. | |
What? | |
The shape is way different, but so what? | |
The shape is different, but it doesn't change the meaning when you wear Trump's hat and then go meet Trump. | |
Yeah, exactly. | |
You know what I mean? | |
Go say, Trump's my friend. | |
That doesn't change the meaning of the hat. | |
Like, you're a Trump supporter. | |
You're literally a Trump supporter. | |
Not only saying he's my friend, but saying I love you. | |
I love you, man. | |
I love him. | |
And then going around and in fact giving him this hug that was so... Watching him fan out was really interesting. | |
It was like the elevator pitch. | |
It was like every time a famous rapper is in the club and someone comes up to him and starts rapping. | |
It was like when DMX, there's a story about DMX meeting Russell Simmons. | |
DMX meets Russell Simmons at a club and starts rapping, just going hard, rapping, freestyling at Russell Simmons. | |
DMX's mouth was wired shut. | |
He just had a broken jaw. | |
It was wired shut and he's rapping with such ferocity and passion that Russell Simmons can hear the wires snapping as DMX is rapping at him. | |
This was, like, the lamest version of exactly that. | |
It was like, fuck, I gotta tell them about my plane or else this plane's never gonna happen. | |
I gotta tell them about my Apple plane? | |
The plane thing is amazing. | |
Like, Kanye's whole thing... I mean, I guess we'll get into it now. | |
So, like, my interpretation of, uh, Kanye's support for Trump, um, is not based on, like, My assumption of his mental illness. | |
You know, that's a big explanatory factor. | |
Oh, Kanye's crazy. | |
Kanye's mentally ill. | |
He's off his meds. | |
That's why he supports Trump. | |
Kanye has a very Trumpian personality. | |
Yeah. | |
It's not a surprise to me why he likes Trump. | |
And... Him saying things like, "We need to support our president." The President needs to look good so that we look good. | |
That's extremely generic shit that does not endorse specific policies of Trump. | |
It does not endorse the politics of Trump. | |
We'll get into, I'm sure, what Kanye says during this meeting is diametrically opposed to Trump's policies. | |
Just the idea that we need to support our president, I need to make this dude cool so that we look cool, to me this is like It's very simple. | |
It's a very simple explanation. | |
Kanye trying to make waves. | |
It's just Kanye trying to disrupt rap music. | |
It's Kanye trying to disrupt, like, black culture. | |
It's Kanye trying to make a name for himself by supporting a Republican president. | |
And not only that, but I mean, people have thrown this around, but I do think there's some validity to it for both these guys. | |
It's also a response to Obama not embracing Kanye. | |
Because Obama did not embrace Kanye. | |
Obama called him a knucklehead or whatever. | |
And like, so he, this is him saying, look at me being embraced by a president. | |
You know? | |
And not the one you would expect. | |
Totally. | |
Now I look, now he's gonna make us look good. | |
Yeah. | |
And not just because he's a young, handsome, charismatic black man, but because he's a president. | |
And that's so fucking backwards. | |
Like, this guy has put effort throughout his life to make black people, black men specifically, look bad. | |
That's something that Trump has done in his life for a long time. | |
I mean... Trump is like an obvious racist to anybody who actually gives a shit. | |
Trump... Trump fucking... | |
Pulled out an ad, in what paper was it, the New York Times? | |
I think it was the New York Times, yeah. | |
To fucking, like, get the death penalty for black children who had already been acquitted, who were found innocent. | |
Yes. | |
The Central Park Five. | |
Even after they were found innocent, just, no, they should still, they should still be killed. | |
It seriously said, you know, bring back the death penalty, why were they in a park? | |
That's what the article... So yeah, this guy's a blatant racist. | |
This guy... Dude ran his campaign on law and order and locking up black criminals and imposing harsher sentences on quote criminals and quote thugs. | |
His real estate company was caught over and over again for discriminating against black tenants. | |
It's insane. | |
This guy's a blatant racist. | |
But, you know, Kanye is ready to... I don't know, he's... it's... this is the perfect... this is the biggest example I've seen in media as big as... of cutting off your nose to spite your face. | |
You're so mad that you're willing to embrace anyone who embraces you, but they're just... you're... you're a fucking... you're not even a pawn, you're just like a joke. | |
But I genuinely think it's like... Kanye has this very shallow... | |
This is like speculation. | |
I don't know Kanye personally. | |
But it's a very shallow like John Lennon. | |
It's a very shallow like Prince Aya on Facebook message of like we need to come together. | |
Yeah. | |
And he's he's trying to be that uniting factor. | |
For America, but in a very selfish way. | |
Like, he's trying to be like, no, all we need to do is love each other. | |
And it's like, no motherfucker, these people want... | |
want people of color dead and out of their neighborhoods and out of the country like it's it's an extremely naive it's an extremely privileged take on everything and it's very self-centered take because all he cares about is being the person to do that being the person to say it first you know that's why he loves Candace Owens is because she's willing to sell out | |
I don't want to speak out of turn because I'm not black but she says some super fucked up shit about black people and she's willing to do it in order to prop up Trump and Kanye is cool with that, and he co-signs it. | |
And I mean, it's funny because they're almost both smart in the sense that, yeah, you're losing a lot of support, but you're gaining support from the real power. | |
You're gaining support from the people that really do have some power, right? | |
Like, now, when a cop pulls you over, You're not just a black lady driving too fast. | |
You're Candace Owens, the black lady who doesn't hate them, who supports them. | |
You're getting endorsement from the real white supremacist power. | |
I mean, you have a driver. | |
If Candace Owens was driving herself, I don't think she would have any better luck with cops. | |
She's not at that level yet. | |
You know what I mean? | |
She's still propped up by that industry, but she's getting the moneyed backers to where she doesn't have to drive herself. | |
Yeah, for sure. | |
But yeah, it's just this gnarly minstrel show that we're watching happen in front of our faces. | |
It's like it's It's fucking brutal. | |
But yeah, so we can't, it's hard to sum up how wild this encounter was. | |
It is as bad as people were joking about it going to be. - Yeah. - It's a complete confluence of like opportunism. | |
It's the opportunism of Kanye trying to be this like uniting, majestic, sort of like meta-political figure. | |
Yeah. | |
And it's a conflict of Trump trying to like a accept any celebrity endorsement whatsoever. | |
I mean, he had fucking Ted Nugent to the White House. | |
He had he had Kid Rock. | |
To the White House. | |
The right wing is totally desperate for any celebrity endorsement, despite what they say about Hollywood or celebrities not mattering. | |
I really wish what would have happened is he had them all in the office at one time. | |
I wish it was Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Kanye all together. | |
That would have been amazing. | |
It would have been really funny to see Kanye have to deal with that. | |
It would have been really awkward when, like, Ted Nugent straight drops a hard R, like, right to Kanye's face. | |
That would have been amazing. | |
Kanye was like, see? | |
This doesn't bother me. | |
Yeah. | |
It shouldn't bother you to be in the White House and still called the N-word. | |
Yep, exactly. | |
By one of the president's friends. | |
That shouldn't bother you. | |
How crazy is it that some guy who once talked really casually about assassinating a president was just ushered on into the White House? | |
He talked about shoving a rifle up Hillary Clinton and firing it. | |
Yeah and remember he did that whole that whole tangent on stage about shooting the Obamas. | |
Yeah. | |
It's like yeah anyways it's just this whole thing is just um it's it's sick sad world IRL it's crazy. | |
So uh let's get into our first piece on this whole Kanye thing. | |
And I mean, like, do what you gotta do to cope, you know? | |
It's just, it's been really hard. | |
It's just been really hard, you know? | |
It's like, never meet your heroes, you live long enough to become the villain kind of thing. | |
Never let your heroes meet the press. | |
It's so sad, I'm to the point now that if If I were to see a picture of Kanye tomorrow that was taken today and he was just wearing a Louis Vuitton backpack, I would see a glimmer of hope. | |
Because maybe the old Ye is coming back. | |
That would be so beautiful. | |
But still, I'm waiting for the psych moment and it's never going to happen. | |
No. | |
My favorite reactions to this is not from like the liberal media because um the liberal media like either a like reacted pretty viscerally to this as in the case of Don Lemon on CNN which I thought he had you know some pretty good things to say he crushed it um and also there was a lot of like | |
Just voyeurism, you know? | |
On behalf of the liberal media. | |
But, um... My favorite response to this is conservative media's response. | |
Because... We're gonna play a clip of... You've probably heard the Kanye meeting with Trump. | |
But... | |
Kanye just didn't say much. | |
He didn't say a lot of anything. | |
Despite his claim, he did not speak in complex ideas. | |
He spoke mainly in soundbites lifted directly from Facebook comments sections. | |
Um, this is like my sort of pushback against the whole Kanye's off his meds narrative. | |
I mean, Kanye might literally be off his meds. | |
I think he's like said as much. | |
Um, yeah, he's, he's, he's like said to be diagnosed as bipolar. | |
Yeah. | |
And he said he stopped taking his meds. | |
Yeah. | |
Uh but that means I'm so that means if you're bipolar that means you have multiple we're waiting for the opposite too then um that might be too too uh blanket of a statement but you know I'm saying you feel me uh I it's just everything he said was like lifted straight out of either like | |
TPUSA Talking Points, which are extremely fucking boring, extremely fucking lame, or just like any generic comment, any generic run-on sentence you see in the Facebook comments section. | |
Like, none of it struck me as like... No. | |
uh loony bin material it was just like no this is like what a what an uninformed person sounds like when they're given a giant platform to to run on at the mouth um so it's interesting watching conservative media respond to this because they can't directly address Kanye's statements because Kanye was giving like a statement Exactly, yeah. | |
There's nothing to react to. | |
There's no substance there to actually... It's got to be something deep in order to weight in it, and there was nothing there. | |
Yeah, there's nothing to react to that. | |
There's no substance there to actually... | |
It's got to be something deep in order to wait in it, and there was nothing there. | |
Like if Obama had a meeting with any rap artist for like, how long did this meeting go on for Like a half hour? | |
Like a half hour and 36 minutes is the word I heard. | |
And just let the dude talk the whole time? | |
Conservative media would have a field day with this. | |
One time when that did happen, it was Common reading a prepared spoken word poem and they lost their minds because he said, uh, bitch a few times in a song. | |
Yeah, when Kanye literally said motherfucker like a couple times. | |
He said shit and he was like, but don't worry, it gets spicier. | |
So they can't respond to that. | |
So they have to respond to Don Lemon's indictment of Kanye. | |
But Ben Shapiro's rundown of this in particular was great because Ben Shapiro doesn't like Kanye West. | |
He doesn't like any rap artist. | |
He hates rap as a medium of art in general, because he's racist and terrible. | |
But he's a Republican. | |
He's a conservative. | |
So his summary of this meeting on the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro's summary goes, watch Kanye brings dragon energy to the White House, calls MAGA hat his Superman cape. | |
So I feel like this is Ben Shapiro playing both sides. | |
Like, uh, trying to give something to the Chuds who love this, like, uh, what's the word? | |
Spectacle of this meeting. | |
But also, like, mock what's going on. | |
Or maybe not mock, but like, shine a light on it in a tongue-in-cheek way. | |
So, uh, Ben Shapiro says, on Thursday, Kanye West visited the White House to discuss criminal justice reform with President Trump. | |
Was that really? | |
Oh, not really. | |
There was, like, there was talk of, of like, yeah, there was. | |
I mean, there was, that's where the whole trap door and being with the Unabomber came from was somebody being falsely, like, like locked up under false pretenses and getting an unjust sentence. | |
Like the Unabomber. | |
And now he's living with the Unabomber. | |
He went to a prison that's too high, too high security, and now you're with the Unabomber even though you're just a regular person. | |
Cool. | |
Um, doo doo doo, uh, wearing his Make America Great Again hat, Kanye stated, there was something about when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman. | |
You made a Superman, that's my favorite Superman, that's my favorite superhero, you made a Superman cape for me. | |
So, uh, first off, anyone who tells you Superman is their favorite superhero... | |
Don't be friends with that person. | |
Fucking lame. | |
That's a huge red flag. | |
That red cape. | |
Huge red flag. | |
A, it's the most boring superhero. | |
I will die on this hill. | |
I will straight up die. | |
Like, I'm not even a comic book guy. | |
I will die on the hill that Superman is the most boring. | |
He's like the original superhero. | |
Who's just good at everything. | |
That's the whole super, yeah. | |
And like, media has been spending decades on trying to make him sad. | |
For being good at everything? | |
I don't, like, no. | |
It doesn't work for me. | |
Superman is, like, is one punch man minus all, like, minus all, like, the character and, like, humanity and, and depth. | |
Yeah. | |
Like, they literally remade the Superman movie where Superman let his own dad die. | |
Mm-hmm. | |
And that's the con- that's like the conflict is he had to make the hard choice of letting your dad- No, you sound like a fucking bitch. | |
Why did you let your dad die? | |
When you're Superman. | |
Yeah. | |
Anyway- Can you stop that? | |
Superman's not a good superhero. | |
No, it's lame. | |
It's the worst superhero. | |
It's so lame. | |
It's the worst superhero. | |
Superman doesn't even have a car. | |
A- and B- what did you say? | |
Superman doesn't even have a car. | |
Right? | |
Okay, well, like, Batman has a car. | |
Who else has a car? | |
The Green Hornet? | |
I feel like he has a mobile of all sorts. | |
Wolverine has a fucking motorcycle. | |
Okay. | |
I don't... Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
You're right. | |
Look at all the sweet vehicles Black Panther has. | |
Wonder Woman has the invisible jet. | |
Yeah. | |
Iron Man, like, has sick cars. | |
And, like, kind of is a car. | |
But Superman's a car, too. | |
No, he's only a plane. | |
No, he's also a bird. | |
Also, like, all the Transformers have cars. | |
Okay, we're getting wild now. | |
B, this whole Superman discussion is predicated on the fact that Kanye was too insecure to vote for a female president. | |
That's literally what he says. | |
Hillary doesn't make me feel like a man is what he said. | |
When I hear I'm with her I don't like that because I didn't have a dad and therefore I don't want like Hillary makes me think of my mom whom whom I like would never vote for president. | |
What? | |
So so gross and I feel like that was not talked about nearly enough was how gross and like how misogynistic this whole thing was yeah this whole his whole talk about masculine energy i didn't have any masculine energy you know my masculine energy is like frowned upon yeah dude because like your masculine your idea of masculine energy is like recording all the sex you have and like being a creep and like that's your masculine energy like chill | |
that's no one wants that and that's what you see in trump is his gross gross dude-ness that's why it's wild to me to think that people look at trump and see masculine energy like Like, traditionally masculine energy. | |
I'm not trying to get into gender essentialism and say, like, what's masculine and what's feminine or whatever. | |
But in terms of, like, traditional masculinity, Trump is not it. | |
Like, Trump's... Like, when people think of Trump's masculine energy, they think of him, like, leaning into a mic and saying, rung. | |
I guess... Like, that's him owning a woman. | |
I guess he's not wrong in the sense that, yes, masculine energy could also be called arrogance, you know, or like audacity, which would be, you know, I guess if that's what he's saying, but that would be a critique, not like you wouldn't want to run with that, you wouldn't want to embrace that. | |
But that's all verbal, like, Like, when you think of traditional masculine energy, it's a very physical... It's a very physical idea, you know? | |
But if you just have the energy of that, you're probably being arrogant and audacious. | |
Yeah, I guess. | |
I mean, like... So that's why they convolute it, you know? | |
The phrase stuck-up bitch also exists, like... Yeah, true, true. | |
It's not just arrogance, it's like a brute force associated with that, which I would never associate with Trump. | |
Either one of them. | |
Yeah. | |
But that was an interesting part. | |
Kanye revealing that Superman, the simplest, most Mary Sue of superheroes, is his favorite, is revealing to me. | |
But this whole Shapiro article is just like, Kanye said, I love Trump. | |
Uh, then he, then he really, like, broke Jonathan Karl of ABC News on the Wheel of Logic by saying, I don't answer questions in simple sound bites. | |
You are tasting a fine wine. | |
It has multiple notes to it. | |
But doesn't include what Kanye's complex, refined answer was, because it didn't exist. | |
Because the only person that thought that he gave a complex, wine-like answer was Kanye. | |
Yeah. | |
Like, that shit was... That shit was Boone's Farm, is what it was. | |
Hey, don't talk shit about Boone's Farm, dude. | |
But it's not complex. | |
It's very simple and base. | |
Okay, so let's get into the clip that we want to talk about here. | |
Kanye also talked about racism and its impact on the political debate. | |
This whole article is just a listicle filled with clips from Twitter from C-SPAN and CBS News. | |
So we're going to play the clip from CBS News here. | |
Let me see. | |
Go to YouTube to watch this. | |
I need to click on this window first. | |
Still learning. | |
Still adapting. | |
This is what Kanye thinks about racism. | |
Tell me more. | |
I was very emotional and I was programmed to think from a victimized mentality. | |
A welfare mentality, I think. | |
Okay, was Kanye ever on welfare? | |
I don't think so. | |
I feel very confident in saying no, never. | |
Kanye was programmed to think from a welfare mentality because he's black? | |
Is what Kanye himself is saying? | |
He's not wrong. | |
He has been programmed. | |
His conditioning has been conditioned. | |
For anybody who doesn't know, Kanye was raised in the suburbs of Illinois and then went to live in China for a while. | |
You know, middle class. | |
His mom apparently worked very hard as a professor and didn't Go on welfare for all we know? | |
Not that that's a bad thing, but like... It's a bad thing to talk about welfare? | |
To talk about being from a welfare state of mind when you were never on welfare? | |
Yeah. | |
It's like you're using this weird... This weird... Racist talking point! | |
This racist talking point against yourself and having no clue he's doing it. | |
Well he's trying to like... He's trying to... Say... | |
I'm above that. | |
I rose above that. | |
It's like, you were never that! | |
Like, it's not something to rise above, first of all, but you were never that in the first place. | |
There's a lot of things about him. | |
I mean, Don DaHouse still hasn't done shit yet. | |
All he did was buy a building and they have not helped one kid yet. | |
So shut up, bro. | |
You don't need to talk about that. - With blacks and African Americans, we really get caught up in the idea of racism over the idea of industry. | |
We say if people don't have land, they settle for brands. | |
We want Polo Sport and Obama This is a beautiful moment. | |
He's actually reading the writings out there. | |
This is what he's talking about, right? | |
that feels to actually have our own land. - Cool, so that's awesome. | |
Like he's gonna advocate for reparations right now. | |
This is a beautiful moment. | |
He's actually reading the writings out there. | |
This is what he's talking about, right? | |
He's gonna, right now he's gonna talk about how we need land and how that's a beautiful thing and reparations should happen. - I mean, he's legit talking about institutional racism right here. | |
Yeah! | |
He's like acknowledging the... | |
institutionalization of racism that's been encoded in you know uh literally like land surveying like i mean how do you get from this point to like oh we have a welfare mentality that we need to rise above but also we've been uh systematically discriminated against yeah prevented from owning land | |
The only direction this conversation should go should be like voting rights and voter suppression, not fucking planes and hypothetically making Adidas in America, which is never going to happen. | |
Even if it did, it would not solve shit. | |
Ownership of our own blocks. | |
So when you don't have ownership, then it's all about how something looks. | |
It's about the patina. | |
It's not about the soil. | |
It's not about the core. | |
So we focus more on is somebody wearing something, is someone disrespecting you so I got to shoot them, or the idea of someone being racist. | |
Has Kanye West ever shot anybody? | |
Kanye West is... | |
I don't even think Kanye West is ever like... | |
Not that this is a thing people should be around. | |
I don't even think Kanye West has been around a shooting or a fired gun. | |
I think he's like... | |
Very separated from that, which is good for you. | |
But it's like all right-wing talking points. | |
It's all like, no, if you walk down the wrong street wearing an American flag t-shirt, you'll get shot. | |
Yeah, that's not how this stuff works anymore. | |
Gang violence has evolved. | |
Yeah, he sounds like a racist uncle. | |
And he could, dude, he was like, blacks are like this. | |
Blacks are emotional. | |
He says blacks. | |
Like, I've never once said blacks. | |
I've never heard a black person say blacks. | |
Yeah, that's fucking wild. | |
I've actually heard black folks get mad at other people for saying blacks because rightfully so. | |
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | |
Yeah, like, I... No. | |
It's an obvious, like, it's an obvious red flag. | |
Yeah. | |
And it's weird that Kanye's saying that. | |
He's been watching too much Candace Owens, I think. | |
It's using... It's like when a white kid tries to say negative fit in, he's saying blacks to fit in with white kids. | |
Weird, yeah. | |
Yeah, see, I can't say that, but Kanye can say it. | |
Kanye can say it, yeah. | |
Kanye can say the B-word. | |
Yeah. | |
Hey, man, we're gonna give you the B-pass. | |
You can say the B-word now. | |
You know, we talk about, uh, police, uh, uh, murders, which we definitely have to discuss, and we have to, uh, bring nobility to the, to the police officers. | |
Bring nobility to the fucking police officers. | |
That, I will never, I would never listen to that song. | |
That song's getting skipped every time. | |
We need to, like, elevate cops even more, you know? | |
Like, do we need to bring nobility to the cops so we can call it, like, a, um, uh, an uprising? | |
So we can, like, what, what do you call it when you, like, decapitate, uh, like, a, a loyal, like, a royal person? | |
Oh, you call that an execution, or, you know, uh... Like, so we can call it a revolution, not an uprising? | |
Revolution, yeah. | |
Yeah, is that what we need to, like, like, give them nobility? | |
Also, nobility in America? | |
Like, fuck outta here. | |
You're so backwards. | |
I love that he's saying, like, it's, uh, it's black folks' job to give nobility to the police. | |
Yeah. | |
Just, like, stop complaining. | |
Like, you know? | |
Yeah, start bowing your heads to them. | |
The police officers are just like us. | |
Nope. | |
No, they're not. | |
They're just like us. | |
No, they're fucking not. | |
You know? | |
They're just like us. | |
They get to, like, uh, kill people and beat people up and get paid for it. | |
Maybe like us, like rich people, yeah? | |
Because that's what's funny. | |
Yeah, cops are like rich people. | |
It's weird. | |
They get a lot of the same rights rich people get. | |
This whole hate building, right? | |
And that's a major... I love the zoom in on who is this? | |
This is a reporter I know. | |
He's just like totally like... | |
I wouldn't say dumbfounded, but like one eyebrow is dumbfounded, the other eyebrow is very concerned. | |
Yeah. | |
Just zoom in on this guy reacting. - The thing about racial tension, like we also, as black people, we have to take a responsibility for what we're doing. | |
We kill each other more than police officers. | |
And that's not saying that the police are- - You know who also kills each other more than police officers? | |
Every other racial and ethnic group. | |
Every other neighbor? | |
Like, everybody that lives close to people? | |
Like, that's what it is. | |
You fucking... Ugh. | |
Hey, did you know cancer isn't even the number one cause of death among people? | |
Why do we have all these labels and warnings about it? | |
I don't get it. | |
I don't get it. | |
Sometimes they're just doing their job. | |
Like... This... fucking... Kanye likes cops, folks. | |
Kanye... Kanye loves cops. | |
How crazy is that? | |
enforcement they need to be law powers forces sometimes they're just doing their job like this fucking Kanye likes cops folks Kanye Kanye loves cops how crazy is that super crazy that I mean that's the crazier element but just like zooming in on what he said I love this. | |
Um, we need to make it less about law enforcement and more like law persuasement. | |
We should just be doing it anyways. | |
We need to make about, uh, law and law in care-ment. | |
Man, this is very much like, if you don't want, if, listen, if you don't want problems with the cops, then don't do things that are illegal. | |
Like, people are like, I think I already said this, but people are like, you know, Kanye's crazy. | |
Kanye's off his meds. | |
And Kanye may, you know, I think he's like, um... | |
Revealed his own mental illness, or he thinks he was misdiagnosed. | |
He thinks he was misdiagnosed. | |
This doesn't scan to me as mental illness. | |
Like I said before, this is just like Facebook talk, dude. | |
This is just like, you know, we need to stop hating each other and start loving each other. | |
Like this is any comment on Facebook. | |
They also like don't have a medication for being a sociopath. | |
They don't have that medication. | |
The sociopathy comes in... The sociopathy comes into play with the fact that Kanye thinks he can go to the White House and say all this very basic dumb shit. | |
Yeah. | |
But this basic dumb shit exists everywhere. | |
Like, this is what everybody is saying online. | |
It's not anything wild. | |
Or new, or groundbreaking, or insane. | |
This is just normal, like, uninformed, hey, let's all smoke weed and get together. | |
I wish he said that, that'd be tight Versus power You shouldn't have to force people to do that So a lot of times a police officer is sitting there They're being forced to do this And forced to do that block And then they force somebody into something We have to release the love Throughout the entire country And give opportunities A lot of times it's just the overall Lack of reparations That we at any given point We say oh this is racist, this is racist | |
This is racist, this is racist So we don't have a reparations But we have a 13th amendment We've got to open up the whole conversation What is he saying right there? | |
He's saying we should have reparations? | |
Or, not we, but black folks should have reparations? | |
That's wildly opposed to anything the Republican Party has in mind. | |
So he's saying we need reparations and the reason why he's saying he's against the 13th Amendment is because the 13th Amendment still allows for prison slavery. | |
Yes. | |
So yeah, I could fuck with all that. | |
Yeah. | |
But like, all that gets totally washed over with all the other battles. | |
The lack of reparations is due to racism. | |
Like, I don't know what he's trying to say here with people. | |
He's trying to say that people call society racist because people of color haven't been able to catch up due to lack of reparations. | |
That is racism! | |
Exactly. | |
It's just another way of saying there's no reparations. | |
It's like... | |
And it's also he just blatantly said they should have reparations. | |
Yep. | |
Like, okay? | |
So, and uh, that's a move, one of the moves that I love that liberals tried to do A liberal would try to control a black person through the concept of racism because they know that we are very proud, emotional people. | |
So when I said I like Trump to like someone that's liberal, they'll say, oh, but he's racist. | |
You think racism can control me? | |
Oh, that don't stop me. | |
That's an invisible wall. | |
You know what? | |
I got news for you. | |
If you could fabricate an invisible wall, that wall is still a fucking wall and it would stop you from going forward. | |
So, yeah, racism is an invisible wall. | |
I mean, what do you think? | |
It's the perfect metaphor. | |
Like, this particular segment started with Kanye talking about how black folks don't have control of their own blocks, don't own their own blocks, don't own land. | |
That's the invisible wall of racism in effect. | |
So again, but he's saying, does not affect me. | |
And you know what? | |
You might be right in the sense that it doesn't affect you because you're rich, but imagine if you had your same income and your same resources, but we're a white man. | |
Ooh, good Lord. | |
Good Lord. | |
Like you would be ballin. | |
Be Elon Musk. | |
You'd be Elon Musk. | |
Which is a really cool thing to be, we should say. | |
I love this part of it because he says, I love Donald Trump and liberals tell me he's racist. | |
And then I say, you think racism can control me? | |
He doesn't say, Donald Trump isn't racist. | |
He says, racism can't control me, so it doesn't matter that Donald Trump is racist. | |
And he says it to Donald Trump's face in front of a bunch of reporters and camera persons. | |
And Trump is like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
No, that's good. | |
That's a good statement. | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
I'm glad you're good. | |
- You're good. - What would you like when you don't think you... - You were joking. | |
Yeah. | |
Amazing stuff. | |
So yeah, um, this whole thing is so wild. | |
So like we said, uh, the only thing they could really cover is the coverage at this point. | |
So we went to one of our favorite websites, Breitbart.com, where we found the headline, Nolte, why CNN must destroy Kanye West. | |
And I love this is this whole thing is, uh, this whole premise of this article is how cnn has to take down kanye and that's why they're that's why there's such cnn and that's a code for all of left-wing media has to take down kanye or else like kanye's gonna take them down why it is imperative for them to shit on kanye kanye is too powerful he's too powerful so yeah um one of the quotes is it starts with quotes from cnn quote kanye west | |
what happens when negroes don't read said cnn commenter bakari sellers tuesday night quote donald trump is uh donald trump is going to use it and pervert it it He's going to have someone who can stand with him and take pictures Yeah, that's all pretty true Yeah, I mean Trump didn't say anything. | |
He just let Kanye talk in front of the cameras. | |
Which is so smart. | |
I just gotta show up? | |
That's all I gotta do? | |
Wait, he just has to show up to me? | |
Cool, done, done. | |
Quote, Black folks about to trade Kanye in the racial draft, says CNN's Tara Sedmeyer. | |
They've had it with him. | |
He's an intention whore, like the president. | |
He's the token negro of Trump's administration. | |
I like that one because they're painting it like they really believe in this racial draft thing. | |
They're really trying to not claim him anymore. | |
Yeah, this article is all about how black people are now racist against Kanye West. | |
Yeah. | |
Quote, No one should be taking Kanye West seriously, she added. | |
He clearly has issues. | |
He's already been hospitalized. | |
During all of this, CNN's Don Lemon laughed with venomous glee. | |
We watched this video and I don't remember him actually laughing. | |
He was pretty stern, pretty mad. | |
When Don Lemon gave his thoughts about Kanye, he was pissed. | |
Yeah. | |
Oh yeah, I should note that Lemon and both of these stand-in commentators are black. | |
For the Breitbart readers, black people exist on CNN. | |
I don't know if you knew that, but I'm listening to these people because they are in fact black. | |
This is wild. | |
Here are some other things worthy of note. | |
The way this is written, we talked about, is so good. | |
So he's talking about CNN and liberal media's coverage of it, specifically CNN. | |
All of a sudden, CNN is smearing Kanye West as an intention whore, even though he has been a public figure and pop culture icon for nearly 20 years. | |
All of a sudden, CNN is smearing Kanye, quote, what happens when Negroes don't read? | |
Even though he's been political going back to 2005, when during a national televised telethon, he said, quote, George Bush doesn't care about black people. | |
Which, yeah, that was intense. | |
He's been doing this for a minute. | |
But this is obviously different. | |
You don't have to read to know that George Bush didn't care about black people. | |
He just had to look at what was happening during Hurricane Katrina. | |
Does Kanye not know that there are still really racist things that are happening as a byproduct of the American government turning a blind eye to black problems all off Flint, Michigan? | |
I mean, once again, I think Kanye just thinks that he can help all of America by embracing Trump. | |
This is my favorite quote right here. | |
All of a sudden, CNN is smearing Kanye as mentally ill, even though his behavior has become much less erratic since those days a full decade ago when he stole the stage from Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. | |
They're saying he's crazy now? | |
He's been crazy! | |
Remember the Taylor Swift incident? | |
Yeah, that was Kanye at his most crazy. | |
At a televised MTV Music Video Awards, taking the stage and interrupting Taylor Swift. | |
Yeah, which was... He was just... He said some pretty cool things and, like, it was weird. | |
It was definitely not, quote, mentally ill. | |
That was not the proof in the pudding that he's been off his rocker for a while. | |
Like, him saying George Bush doesn't care about black people was way more subversive than him taking the stage at the MTV VMAs. | |
Yeah, which is not an important thing. | |
No. | |
And he did it so concisely and it was effective. | |
If he would have done that in the same situation with Trump, it would have been received totally differently. | |
So they go on to talk about how this is nothing new. | |
It says, absolutely nothing about Kanye has changed. | |
Nothing. | |
Not even his political priorities, which I'll explain below. | |
So why is CNN suddenly wielding the worst kind of racism to smear him? | |
Yeah, the worst kind of racism where you criticize a black celebrity from a 24-hour news station. | |
Yeah, the only thing that they say nothing about, they don't even talk about his blackness enough to me. | |
No one really says, what's really disappointing about this is that he's a black man saying this. | |
No one really says that, which is exactly one of the issues here. | |
I mean, like, you know, sure, you know, the lynchings and the systematic chattel slavery, the disenfranchisement of just all human rights. | |
Sure, that was bad. | |
You know what hurts more is, like, the insult. | |
Yeah. | |
The insult on CNN. | |
The worst kind of racism. | |
The kind that allows you to say, Kanye, do better. | |
Yeah. | |
What is that about? | |
So they say, why? | |
To control him. | |
So yeah, this, this article is just a fucking gem. | |
Cause now it's not even talking about, like you said, they're not talking about the meeting. | |
They never talk about the meeting. | |
They never talk about, so what could possibly come of this? | |
What does policy look like after this discussion? | |
That never happens really anywhere on the internet, I don't think. | |
Um, so they're talking about CNN's coverage of it and how now the media is racist. | |
So yeah, it's um... Shall we get into the comments? | |
No, I have a few more things about this article. | |
Oh yeah, the article's hefty. | |
So the very next sentence is... Just imagine thinking that CNN is anything... Which, like, I totally agree. | |
CNN, the corporate media news network, is racist. | |
in American history just imagine thinking that CNN is anything which like I totally agree CNN the corporate media news network is racist nowhere near the racism of physical enslavement of black people and torture and you know all that sort of thing so CNN is borrowing from the playbook of the worst racists in American history. | |
This is like You know, people talk about white privilege. | |
It's like peak white privilege thinking that tutting Kanye West on CNN is akin to even the Jim Crow South. | |
Even the post-slavery era. | |
We're saying you're a person, but just not a whole person. | |
During the tragic and ugly history of slavery in the pre-civil war era, white slave owners ruthlessly and violently punished any black man or woman who sought to educate themselves or think for themselves. | |
It was all about controlling them and maintaining power over them. | |
So let's go back to the first sentence of this article. | |
Kanye West is what happens when black folks don't read. | |
Yeah. | |
So the criticism of Kanye is that he does not read, which I think is apparent by listening, you know, to any of the comments he made. | |
This author, Nolte, what's his name? | |
John Nolte, comparing encouraging black folks to read to literally making it illegal for them to read. | |
Punishing physically black people for reading. | |
Yeah. | |
Yeah, it's totally the same thing, bro. | |
It's no better. | |
This article is just like his freestyle. | |
It's all so self-contradicting. | |
It's crazy. | |
And then, um, do-do-do. | |
Other than the tactics, nothing has changed within the modern-day Democrat Party. | |
So this is like, you know, Democrats were the KKK, Democrats are the real racists. | |
To protect their power, to ensure some 95% of black people continue to vote for them, white Democrats, primarily through establishment media outlets like CNN, are still trying to control black Americans. | |
Um, do, do, do, uh, CNN must destroy Kanye because Kanye is a direct threat to the Democrat party's power, a free thinking black man who might persuade other black Americans to think differently, to open their a free thinking black man who might persuade other black Americans to think differently, to open their eyes to what 50 years of voting Democrat has wrought periods. | |
So this particular sentence sort of like informs or this particular paragraph informs like the whole piece which is that | |
CNN is racist for telling Kanye to read a book, when in reality, according to this article, Kanye is trying to educate the 95% of African Americans who are too stupid to vote for a Republican candidate. | |
You're saying he's stupid, but let me tell you how stupid the rest of them are. | |
No, it really is that. | |
By saying that Democrats have done nothing but cause trouble for black folks in their communities, Kanye might be the one to finally knock some sense into him. | |
Yeah, it's... You think Public Enemy was good? | |
You should listen to Kanye. | |
You're racist for talking about this one black guy. | |
Yeah. | |
Who's trying to, like, educate all the other dumb black guys. | |
Amazing stuff. | |
Amazing stuff. | |
For it is Trump who has dropped the black unemployment rate to record lows. | |
Oh my god, yeah, which we talked about. | |
Don Lemon talked about. | |
No, it's another commentary. | |
Anyway, somebody, the whole thing is, yeah, the black unemployment has dropped since Trump's been in office. | |
But I think it dropped from somewhere, I think it dropped from 7% to 6%? | |
Amazing! | |
Oh, incredible. | |
That's, that's great. | |
Cool, but during the Obama administration it dropped from somewhere around I think it was 15% to 7% a huge range like that's that's Effectiveness, but like we said that's even a bad gauge of everything. | |
Yeah, I The unemployment rate is a terrible gauge of everything because most of those people might have a job, they might be getting a paycheck somewhere, but a lot of us don't make enough money to have a living wage, we don't have enough money to actually live and survive, we just have jobs. | |
So yeah, fuck out of here. | |
Multiple jobs. | |
The comparison between Obama and Trump in a microcosm is like if you do want to measure the health of the economy or the health of the country on these like conservative talking points about unemployment or about jobs, you know, jobs numbers or the stock market, like Obama oversaw much more rapid growth than Trump for eight whole years. | |
And then Trump came along and added 1% or you know, subtracted 1% to the unemployment rate. | |
We don't give a shit about that. | |
Your momentum's not there, dude. | |
People still aren't earning a living wage. | |
The stock market, fuck the stock market. | |
That's not a barometer of how well the average American is doing. | |
So we can't contest that talking point, because I don't give a shit about the stock market. | |
Don't you wish that's how it worked, though? | |
I can go to my mechanic and be like, no, no, listen, did you check the market today? | |
Way up. | |
I get a discount, right? | |
It's way up. | |
This dollar's worth more than a dollar today. | |
So yeah, they're talking about free-thinking black people and how much white media, how much liberal media hates them, you know? | |
This author, John Nolte, let's shout this dude's name from the rooftops. | |
Yeah, John Nolte, is talking about how much liberal media hates free-thinking black people and gives some examples. | |
Free thinking black people who are like, oh it's it's it's like super cool and edgy to like harass my interns and uh it's it's um It's disruptive to think that the Egyptians stored grain in the pyramids. | |
Exactly. | |
People are mad at how free-thinking these folks are. | |
So Jackie Robinson gets on the list? | |
Yeah, that's an interesting one. | |
Candace Owens. | |
Liberals have always been mad at free-thinking black folks like Jesse Owens. | |
I mean, you know, Hitler was a liberal. | |
Yep. | |
Candace Owens, the progeny. | |
Dr. Ben Carson, Alan West, etc. | |
Which is like, what the fuck is that list? | |
How pissed would Jackie Robinson... I don't know anything about Jackie Robinson's political views. | |
Don't think he was a big fan of conservative views, though. | |
Don't think he was a big fan of white people in general? | |
I think they made his life very difficult for just playing baseball. | |
Yeah, what the fuck? | |
We've watched free-thinking black men and women personally destroyed through political and media campaigns wielding ridicule and taunts. | |
Remember those scathing reviews of Jackie Robinson from the liberal media? | |
From the liberal media, yeah. | |
Well, my favorite of the, like, he didn't mention it. | |
He should have. | |
He should have just gone all in and said how Martin Luther King Jr. | |
was a Republican. | |
Like, he should have done that. | |
But that's my favorite token black Republican that they trot out is Martin Luther King Jr. | |
When in fact, dude was a socialist. | |
Yeah. | |
Dude was literally a socialist and has gone on the record saying capitalism is an evil akin to racism. | |
It's really easy to find. | |
It's really easy to find that source. | |
Yeah, and it's really funny how Republicans aren't the racists and how Democrats were the racists and also this Republican was a socialist. | |
I wonder what happened. | |
Side note, Republicans were also socialists at one point. | |
So this is the true grit of the story. | |
The reason he really wanted to write the story, because he got to write and say these words coming up. | |
These apostates are mercilessly slandered as quote dumb Negroes, quote token Negroes, quote house Negroes. | |
As crazy, as sellouts, as quote Uncle Tom's, quote Oreos, and not really black anymore. | |
Who called Kanye West a dumb negro? | |
Nobody that I saw said that. | |
If anybody called any of these people dumb negroes, especially the current people that are alive, let's call them out and fucking cancel them. | |
None of that happened, but how stoked was he to be able to quote all those things? | |
Oh, totally. | |
I used to really embrace the term Oreo as a mixed person, but then that joke got old as I grew up because when white kids call you it, it's weird. | |
Sure. | |
Yeah. | |
That's what he's talking about, is I actually played Jackie Robinson in a school play, and they wrote an article about how an Oreo played him. | |
Really? | |
No, that didn't happen. | |
Where do you get these? | |
Jackie Robinson? | |
Anyways, yeah. | |
So, fucking wild article. | |
And we should say that John Nolte's not black at all. | |
I don't think we had to say it, but yeah, we definitely had to say it. | |
John Nolte, writer for Breitbart, not black. | |
I mean, if he was black, it wouldn't have been, quote, Uncle Tom's. | |
It would have just been Uncle Tom's. | |
Yeah. | |
Let's get into comments from this. | |
What do you say? | |
Please. | |
So this is my favorite comments from FISMO451. | |
Everything about this guy is racist. | |
Yeah, his avatar is like the eagle emblem of the United States with the three stars between the wings. | |
It says blacks, they just ran with the term blacks throughout the comments. | |
I think because Kanye says at one time, she's like, oh, that is what we're supposed to say. | |
We can say it now. | |
Well, I mean, and Trump, you know, there's my black. | |
Yep. | |
Yep. | |
Yeah, that's a real thing. | |
Blacks are better off 100 years after the Civil War than they are now 60 plus years of the, after 60 plus years of the welfare state. | |
No. | |
No, man. | |
So... Insane comment. | |
Insane, like, brain mush comment. | |
Well, what's funny is they did their math. | |
So, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 and the Civil War ended in 1865. | |
Yeah. | |
So, yeah. | |
Maybe you're saying that we made one huge leap at that point in time and haven't really No, we all know that as soon as the Civil Rights Act was passed, racism was over, and all those laws were totally enforced by the various states. | |
That's the real reason why people were so mad, because the Klan had to stop. | |
They had no choice but to be... Yeah, they totally stopped as soon as the Civil Rights Act was passed. | |
They had no choice. | |
So yeah, the math is not wrong, but yeah, what a crazy comment. | |
And this one, which I really love, from Wisewoman4, Roman numeral 4. | |
Really interesting perspective on this, the perspective we really want to hear, because I feel like you've heard the commentary from a lot of, you know, white men and cis white men. | |
Yeah. | |
Let's hear from Wisewoman4. | |
It's not White Woman 4, it's Wise Woman 4. | |
And that will be very clear right now. | |
This black, 73-year-old woman, who was born and raised in the South, marched with MLK, knows this history to be true. | |
So this woman, uh, is 73 years old, and apparently marched with MLK. | |
Wow. | |
Commenting in the Breitbart comment section. | |
And it's black. | |
How did you end up on this, uh, this website? | |
Uh. | |
Just common sense, you know. | |
Yeah. | |
True. | |
Logic. | |
I'm here for the logic. | |
Yeah. | |
Another tactic they pull on both black and white people prior to, during, and since Jim Crow era is smearing using sexual accusations. | |
Okay, just different tactics that they use? | |
Sure, yeah, you're not wrong here. | |
Um, the lie they told in 1955 on Emmett Till, a young boy from Chicago who was killed in a dreadful manner after being accused of whistling at a white woman. | |
She refused to tell the truth, even to her death, but did request her lawyer to recant her statement after her death. | |
Yeah, so that's a, yeah, racism has been around for a long time. | |
Emmett Till is a perfect example of that, about how black people are, have been, are It's easy for people to believe that a black person's wrong. | |
Yeah. | |
Even to the point where they get brutally lynched for whistling. | |
It's almost that, like, despite the patriarchal society we live in, there exists sort of another axis of power between white people of any gender and black people of any gender. | |
And like, despite the fact that women are often victimized, including white women, black people exist at a lower rung of society. | |
And even a traditionally oppressed group of people in the upper system can oppress The group in the lower system. | |
It's real easy. | |
It's amazing how that works. | |
You just have to point your finger. | |
That's really all it takes. | |
So that's kind of, again, kind of cool that they're pointing out these tactics that are being used to oppress people. | |
Mm-hmm. | |
So she goes on. | |
And the recent character assassination of Kavanaugh. | |
Okay. | |
Those sexual misconduct charges with absolute no cooperation are two of a multitude of examples. | |
I truly detest these power-hungry people. | |
Yeah, Emmett Till and Kavanaugh are two examples of the same phenomenon. | |
Yes. | |
What the fuck? | |
Remember how Kavanaugh got killed and lynched by a mob? | |
Yeah. | |
Boy, I wish that didn't happen. | |
I mean, he got I can't even say that joke. | |
I hate that. | |
Sorry. | |
I had a joke I just couldn't even do. | |
But yeah, it was just... What the fuck is your mindset here? | |
Remember how Emmett Till got confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice? | |
I mean, we don't know what the afterlife is like, but maybe that's a possibility. | |
Like, what the fuck? | |
Remember how Emmett Till got, like, embarrassed for, uh, I don't know, a half hour? | |
And then was confirmed to one of the highest bodies of, uh, of governmental, uh, governmental action in this country? | |
Also, how about, even, even, even the accusations, even if they were both wrong, one person was accused of, like, Holding down and physically assaulting a woman under her multiple women multiple women. | |
Yeah, even with the help of friends and Causing physical harm to them. | |
The other person was accused of whistling and the people who were genuinely believe that this person whistled also believe this person needed to be strung up and lynched So even the context there is incredible. | |
It's almost like the discrepancy of power between a white woman and a black kid in the 50s is slightly different than a federal court judge and a female professor. | |
And multiple women, yeah. | |
That was a popular meme. | |
Like you, uh... I didn't know. | |
Yeah, no, the whole like, oh, you want to believe women. | |
What about this black kid that we suddenly care about? | |
I, yeah, I didn't, you told me about that and I didn't want to believe it, but then I remembered what we do every week. | |
I was like, oh yeah, of course this is a popular thing. | |
They're going to finally acknowledge Emmett Till. | |
Yeah. | |
But it just takes him comparing him to this, Judge. | |
Fuck. | |
Yeah, people are so gross. | |
Yep. | |
White people are, at least. | |
Okay, this is a comment I found in the wild, to end on a slightly lighter note. | |
Just a silly comment that I liked. | |
You know, conservatives praising Kanye for blatantly opportunistically hogging camera time in the White House, you know, in front of what happened to be a Republican president. | |
Conservative media fawning over Kanye for this. | |
And Jennifer Phillips says, you know, I never did give a shit what this guy thought, so I'm not going to about-face just because he does. | |
Good for him and his opinions. | |
I don't give a rat's ass. | |
Which is like the most respectable take I've seen from a Republican on this topic. | |
It's the realest. | |
It's not only the realists, it's the most sensible. | |
Like, who gives a shit that this dude that I hated before the fact suddenly likes one thing that I like? | |
That thing being Trump? | |
Oh well, who cares? | |
And Mary Kazacki replies, four letter words, lick yours, Jennifer. | |
So that's four letter words, lick yours, Jennifer. | |
So she's upset about the cussing. | |
And that's going to be important. | |
I'm going to read the rest of it verbatim. | |
Four-letter words like yours, Jennifer, should be denied from written or verbal communication. | |
It shows your education level. | |
Valgar words do not give power to your statement. | |
I just like it because it's just like... It's also bad? | |
It's just... it's just terrible. | |
Like... | |
It really shows your education level when you spell ass correctly. | |
There's nothing better than when somebody responds to your, like, typo, like, calls your typo out on the internet, and then they give you a typo in the comment about the typo. | |
This is that times a thousand. | |
Yeah, it's that times a thousand, because there's no typo in Jennifer Phillips' comment. | |
Jennifer Phillips is just, like, cussing. | |
Yeah, and I think that doesn't even... The only, like... | |
The two bad words are not even four-letter words. | |
It's shit and ass. | |
Well, shit's four letters. | |
Oh, shit. | |
Oh, fuck. | |
Shit is four fucking letters. | |
Yeah, but you know what I'm saying? | |
It's like shit, like that's the one. | |
That is the same thing, because Kanye says shit, and it's like- Kanye said motherfucker in the White House. | |
But when he said shit, he was like, oh sorry, that's what you're going to get from me. | |
Don't expect anything less. | |
I'm going to keep it real. | |
I'm going to keep it real by saying motherfucking interest credits. | |
Motherfucking earn income tax. | |
Yeah, get at it. | |
Motherfucking small business loans. | |
You know what I'm saying? | |
You know what I'm saying? | |
High interest rates is some bullshit. | |
Yeah. | |
So that's a good comment to end on. | |
I love it. | |
Yeah. | |
All right. | |
This episode ran really long, so we're not going to do the other topics. | |
Real quick though, if you guys are wondering how to address this whole Kanye thing, what we need to do is be real. | |
If you have Yeezys, sell them at a very high markup. | |
No, you should burn them and videotape it and put it on Facebook. | |
Yes. | |
Do that. | |
Or sell them at a higher interest rate and make some money off of them to some asshole. | |
Do not consume his next record. | |
And this is the hard part. | |
Now, if you are... I'm just gonna say, if you're not black, do all this in silence. | |
But if you are black, we need to talk about it. | |
We need to talk about how we're not listening to Kanye, and how he's cantled. | |
Can't I be an ally where I'm like... | |
I listen to all music except country and Kanye. | |
No, see, you can't do that. | |
And it sucks because it's a bad look. | |
I don't want you guys to do that. | |
But you know, do it in silence. | |
That's the real protest. | |
There's some bible verse about praying and shutting up about it. | |
What if I'm like, instead of Kanye, I'll be listening to Eminem all month. | |
There you go. | |
That'll stick it to him. | |
Everyone go listen Everyone go listen to Ryan Adams' cover of 1985. | |
That's the only way to really protest this is to listen to that record. | |
And vote Democrat. | |
And vote demon rat. | |
