| A year ago, I began filming my new movie, Am I Racist? | |
| The goal of the movie was to go deep undercover into the world of DEI and show how bad the problem really is. | |
| There'll be some moments in the movie that just seem too crazy to be real, but I assure you it is all real and it has been a real problem for a while. | |
| To prove to you how big of an issue DEI is, I wanted to take you on a trip down memory lane of some recent real-world examples of anti-white racism. | |
| But before we do that, Check out the trailer for Am I Racist. | |
| Visit emiracist.com to check out showings and buy tickets at a theater near you. | |
| Now enjoy the trailer. | |
| Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. | |
| Growing up, I never thought much about race. | |
| It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me. | |
| Am I racist? | |
| I would really appreciate it if you left. | |
| I'm trying to learn. | |
| I'm on this journey. | |
| If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover. | |
| Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert. | |
| Here's my certifications. | |
| What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. | |
| There's more for you in this field. | |
| Is America inherently racist? | |
| The word inherent is challenging there. | |
| What, to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument? | |
| America is racist to its bones. | |
| So inherently? | |
| Yeah. | |
| This country is a piece of... | |
| White. | |
| Folks. | |
| Trash. | |
| White supremacy. | |
| White woman. | |
| White boy. | |
| Is there a black person around here? | |
| What's a black person right here? | |
| Does he not exist? | |
| Hi, Robin. | |
| Hi. | |
| What's your name? | |
| I'm Matt. | |
| I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful. | |
| Never been too careful. | |
| Last night, somebody sent me an email that had recently gone out to students at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. | |
| The email was meant to inform them about the five upcoming graduation celebrations, which would be held as a complement to the commencement ceremony. | |
| Now, five celebrations might seem a little bit excessive. | |
| If you've ever been to a graduation, then you know that one is already a little bit too much as it is. | |
| But there's a reason why this school has decided to have five. | |
| As they explained in their email, reading out says, Dear Laker graduates, Grand Valley hosts five unique graduation celebrations annually designed to honor our diverse graduates. | |
| These programs complement the university commencement ceremonies and are an opportunity to come together and acknowledge Laker accomplishments in the spirit and traditions of our diverse identities and cultures. | |
| And here are the five events. | |
| It says, Asian graduation celebration, April 19th. | |
| Black graduation celebration, April 28th. | |
| Latino slash A slash X graduation celebration, April 28th. | |
| Side note, no Hispanic person actually wants to be called Latinx, but rather than simply abandon that silliness entirely, this is apparently what they've settled on. | |
| Now Latino people are Latino slash A slash X. | |
| So they've improved on latinx, which sounded clunky and ridiculous, by coming up with an alternative that is even clunkier and more ridiculous. | |
| Okay, back to the segregated graduations. | |
| It says, Lavender Graduation Celebrating LGBTQIA Plus Graduates, April 20th. | |
| Native Graduation Celebration, April 27th. | |
| Side note again, there is a typo here actually, because it actually says, Lavender Gradation. | |
| Gradation, as in a series of successive changes made by degrees or in phases over time, much like you would find on, say, a slippery slope. | |
| So, this typo is the most insightful thing this university has produced in its entire existence, probably, even if it was by accident. | |
| So, these are the graduation celebrations, or gradation celebrations, however you want to put it, broken up by identity group. | |
| Now, needless to say, there will be no special event for straight white people. | |
| They will have to make do with the commencement ceremony that everybody else gets. | |
| They're not going to get their own special event. | |
| But Grand Valley is far from alone with their segregation policies when it comes to graduations. | |
| This has become an increasingly common practice. | |
| Just a couple of weeks ago, there was controversy over a segregated black graduation ceremony at the University of Chicago. | |
| The Daily Mail had that report and said, quote, A leaked email obtained by University of Chicago law student Benjamin Ogilvie unmasked the previously under-wrapped event, with Ogilvie penning a piece for the College Fix to share the email's contents. | |
| Quote, Black Action and Public Policy Studies is hosting a graduation ceremony for all University of Chicago Black graduate students. | |
| On June 1st, the email stated, according to Ogilvie, Leaked on Tuesday, the email reportedly touted the event as the culmination of the black student experience at the Illinois school and is already sparking heated discourse as to whether or not the event serves as segregation. | |
| Now, a spokesperson for the school was quoted later in the article and they did respond to a request for comment. | |
| Arguing that the black graduation, though it is a ceremony being held for black people and is advertised as such, is not explicitly black only. | |
| So that's how they get around any, you know, legal challenges. | |
| Anyone can come if they want to, technically. | |
| And the fact that whites won't be chased away at gunpoint, not as an official policy anyway, is supposed to make this all okay. | |
| And yet, I have a sneaking suspicion that the University of Chicago would not allow a white graduation ceremony, even if blacks were technically allowed to attend. | |
| The logic, as always, only goes one way. | |
| The same applies at Harvard, where Harvard's Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging helps to organize graduation ceremonies for, quote, first-generation BGLTQ Black and Latinx students. | |
| They've also added a special ceremony this year for Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Desi American graduates. | |
| Columbia University, meanwhile, adds another category. | |
| That school has special ceremonies for Black, LGBTQ, Native, Latinx, and Asian graduates, just like we saw with Grand Valley. | |
| They've also added a sixth category for low-income individuals. | |
| Because it is, of course, important to have proper representation for all of those impoverished people who are graduating from an Ivy League school. | |
| The low-income celebration will be very interesting because there won't be anyone there except the catering staff, I guess. | |
| So, this is the country we live in now. | |
| Segregation has long since made a comeback. | |
| These policies can be put in place. | |
| They can be advocated for. | |
| And most of the time, without even the slightest pushback. | |
| That is, as long as you advocate for them from a socially acceptable angle. | |
| So take this recent clip of white fragility author Robin DiAngelo claiming that black people need to, quote, get away from white people. | |
| Listen. | |
| I'm a big believer in affinity space and affinity work. | |
| And I think people of color need to get away from white people and have some community with each other. | |
| And I'll let that go and maybe see if anyone else wants to pick it up. | |
| Yes, get away, she says. | |
| Get away. | |
| One racial group needs to get away from the other. | |
| Now, if this sentiment sounds familiar, it's probably because Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, said exactly the same thing, almost verbatim, with one slight difference. | |
| Let's listen to that again. | |
| You know, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people. | |
| Just get the f*** away. | |
| Wherever you have to go, just get away. | |
| Because there's no fixing this. | |
| This can't be fixed. | |
| Alright, this can't be fixed. | |
| You just have to escape. | |
| So it is, as I said, exactly the same idea, using almost identical language. | |
| The difference is that Scott Adams lost everything. | |
| His career, his reputation, distribution of his comic strip. | |
| He had his life destroyed for saying what you just heard there. | |
| Meanwhile, Robin DiAngelo has suffered no repercussions at all. | |
| It's not that DiAngelo has experienced a less intense backlash or less severe professional consequences. | |
| It's that there has been no backlash. | |
| No consequence. | |
| And that's all because, though they both were advocating for the same thing, D'Angelo said that blacks need to get away from whites, while Adams said that whites need to get away from blacks. | |
| This is the crucial distinction that's supposed to change everything. | |

| This is from Fox. | |
| It says, James Madison University is under fire for pushing controversial rhetoric as part of its freshman orientation training for student leaders. | |
| The PowerPoint presentation and accompanying video addressed topics like social justice, identity, power, and privilege, and labeled any person who fits the parameters of white, male, straight, and Christian as oppressors in a detailed chart. | |
| JMU College Republicans Chairwoman Juliana McGrath shared her frustration with Fox News saying the training at the Virginia University that's meant to bring students together will ultimately be divisive. | |
| She said, quote, when you're teaching about things like this, the goal is to try to bring people together and try to get people to understand different life experiences. | |
| But by saying, because you're white, you're an oppressor, because you're straight, you're an oppressor, because you're a male, you're an oppressor, that actually brings people farther apart. | |
| And it doesn't actually accomplish any of the goals of what I feel like they were trying to do. | |
| According to McGrath, the most shocking inclusion in the presentation was the implication that followers of the Christian faith specifically were deemed as oppressors, even though all religious individuals, regardless of denomination, believe in the same thing, a higher power. | |
| She said, quote, in our chapter of College Republicans, we actually have a very diverse chapter and we have people of different races or different backgrounds and specifically of different religious beliefs. | |
| And that's always been very welcome. | |
| I feel like no matter your political beliefs, you always find some type of common ground. | |
| I think sometimes religion is the common ground. | |
| OK, a lot of this, unfortunately, is unremarkable because we've this is the kind of reeducation that we see in colleges across the country. | |
| Most universities at this point, this is their primary function. | |
| This is a feature, not a bug. | |
| It's not like you send your kids to college and then they just so happen to be brainwashed into leftist dogma. | |
| That's why the universities exist at this point. | |
| That is their primary goal. | |
| So that makes this unremarkable, but still important. | |
| But I'm really... I really zero in on what she said here. | |
| Juliana McGrath, she said, the goal is to try to bring people together and try to get people to understand different life experiences. | |
| But when you do all of this, you're tearing people apart. | |
| And that doesn't accomplish any of the goals that you're trying to accomplish, she said. | |
| Well, no, Juliana, let me explain this to you. | |
| It is important that you understand. | |
| I don't want to be accused of mansplaining here. | |
| I don't need that on top of all the other crimes I've committed. | |
| Maybe that'll be next. | |
| Maybe Kristi Noem tomorrow will tweet about how I mansplained. | |
| At this point, just dye your hair pink, cut it down, call me a mansplainer. | |
| Why not? | |
| Go full feminist. | |
| Anyway, it is important to explain this to anyone who doesn't understand. | |
| I think there are a lot of people on the right who still don't understand this. | |
| No, these kind of indoctrination seminars, Where they're saying that white people and males and Christians are oppressors and evil and all that. | |
| This is not a misguided but well-intentioned attempt to bring people together and to make people understand each other's life experiences. | |
| No. | |
| This is not something that's clumsy and we'll say, well, they're trying to accomplish something, they're just not accomplishing it. | |
| They just so happen to be doing the opposite of what they're trying to accomplish. | |
| No. | |
| They are accomplishing their goal 100%. | |
| The goal is not to bring anyone together. | |
| That is not the goal. | |
| The division, the hostility, the suspicion that's engendered by these sorts of programs, that is the point. | |
| That's why they're doing it. | |
| There is nothing well-intentioned about this at all. | |
| They are trying to drive that wedge in between you, in between all of us. | |
| And not one wedge, but a million wedges. | |
| Dividing people into a million different categories and subcategories. | |
| Even one single individual person is now divided, is chopped into a thousand different pieces and put into different compartments and different labels. | |
| And everybody's warring against each other. | |
| That is totally the point. | |
| It's why they're doing it. | |
| So when you say they're not achieving what they want to achieve, yes they are. | |
| They're doing a great job of accomplishing their goals. | |
| They want to divide the American population, to inflame tribalism, that's part of the point here, and also to tear down our history and all of the authorities of the past, you know, to separate us from our own history. | |
| Western civilization is informed, shaped by Christian values, by the Christian religion, and that's why, that's one of the main reasons why they hate it. | |
| And that's why, if you notice, they focus on Christianity much more than they focus on something like Islam. | |
| Because they are trying to destroy, eat away at, chop down the foundations of Western civilization. | |
| That is the point. | |
| They want us to live fully immersed in modernity. | |
| Severed from all of the ties of the past. | |
| Hating everybody that came before us. | |
| Our ancestors, all of the people who built this civilization that we now live in. | |
| They want us to hate all of them, and hate our past. | |
| Hate anybody connected with our past. | |
| They want to identify the villains of the past. | |
| In a very simplistic way. | |
| Well, if you're white, if you're a Christian, if you're a male, those are all the villains of the past. | |
| Any of your historical heroes, who you thought were heroes, well, if they were white, male, whatever, then they weren't heroes, they were oppressors. | |
| And their progeny to this day, still oppressors. | |
| That is, again, the whole entire point. |
