|
What has been effective for you?
|
|
Is that what she said?
|
|
In combating racism.
|
|
You in combating racism.
|
|
That's the key word there.
|
|
Helpful to you.
|
|
Helpful, that's it.
|
|
Okay, helpful, yeah.
|
|
So she said all whites should talk to each other about racism.
|
|
So I am taking Riley's advice.
|
|
I have a white man in the room.
|
|
My producer is white.
|
|
You're really white.
|
|
Let's talk.
|
|
Right, can you have his mic there?
|
|
I'm not hearing him.
|
|
Are we good now?
|
|
I'm not as white as you.
|
|
That's correct.
|
|
But I'm actually pink.
|
|
I can actually, if I stay in the sun, I can kind of get darker.
|
|
I'm white looking.
|
|
Yeah, well that's cultural appropriation.
|
|
You should not stay in the sun.
|
|
But you can't.
|
|
You can't do it.
|
|
No, I can't.
|
|
I would just turn more red.
|
|
I think this is the kind of, I think this is what she's talking about.
|
|
We're now having a conversation about whiteness.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
That has to count in some fashion.
|
|
Well, yeah, because whiteness is defined as racist.
|
|
So I'm curious.
|
|
So let's talk about it.
|
|
So today, for example, let's just take today.
|
|
Open up to me and the audience.
|
|
What racist thought did you have today?
|
|
I didn't.
|
|
See, this is a perfect example of what they're saying on the left.
|
|
You might be, I can't, I don't know, but you might be so racist that you don't even know that you're racist.
|
|
But I know you.
|
|
I don't think you have a racist bone in your body.
|
|
I think race matters to you as much as shoe color.
|
|
Maybe shoe color matters more, actually.
|
|
You think about that.
|
|
Yeah, I'm very, very sensitive about your color.
|
|
Yes, no, I know.
|
|
It's a poor...
|
|
I was wrong.
|
|
Now, that I thought about today.
|
|
Yes, I believe that too.
|
|
So did I. What shoes to wear.
|
|
What color shoes are you wearing, by the way?
|
|
Black.
|
|
What was the option?
|
|
I could have worn something like a burgundy.
|
|
Because I have a...
|
|
I'm sort of...
|
|
My theme is blue today.
|
|
I have blue pants.
|
|
Do you own blue shoes?
|
|
They make them.
|
|
I don't actually own a pair of blue shoes.
|
|
I have gray.
|
|
Now you see where the direction went here?
|
|
Because we really don't have anything to say about human colors.
|
|
It interests us less than shoe colors.
|
|
We don't think about it.
|
|
We don't think about it.
|
|
So we're having an honest dialogue about it.
|
|
Why would we think about it?
|
|
That's right.
|
|
Why would we think about it?
|
|
That's right.
|
|
What productive thing would come out of it?
|
|
Exactly.
|
|
What productive thing?
|
|
Well, it isn't.
|
|
I mean, if we spent time talking about our unconscious racism, what would that sound like?
|
|
Well, I don't know.
|
|
How do you talk about your unconscious?
|
|
I don't have racist thoughts.
|
|
You don't have racist thoughts.
|
|
And then we're supposed to have a conversation.
|
|
By the way, here's the interesting thing.
|
|
The theory that they have is that we are...
|
|
What is it?
|
|
We're unconsciously racist.
|
|
Or even we're racist, but we don't know it.
|
|
So I have a question.
|
|
I've done a lot of work.
|
|
I've written a major book on anti-Semitism.
|
|
Every anti-Semite knows he's an anti-Semite.
|
|
Why does that work?
|
|
I mean, if you'd have asked an anti-Semite, are you an anti-Semite?
|
|
Of course I'm an anti-Semite.
|
|
I think Jews control the world, and I hate them, and Hitler didn't finish the job.
|
|
But, gee, why would you call me an anti-Semite?
|
|
That's not going to happen.
|
|
Well, it's like dog whistles.
|
|
The only people who hear dog whistles are leftists.
|
|
That's correct.
|
|
Who accuse...
|
|
Right, of whistling.
|
|
Conservatives of whistling, yeah.
|
|
But the whole premise, you don't know you are.
|
|
I mean, it could exist in theory, but in practice, people who hate groups know they hate groups.
|
|
It's the way it generally works.
|
|
Well, thank you.
|
|
You hate slow drivers in the left hand.
|
|
Yes, and I acknowledge it.
|
|
That's correct.
|
|
Yes, there should be a special place for them.
|
|
All right, thank you, sir.
|
|
Now you had a dialogue with a white man about racism.
|
|
Following the...
|
|
The deep suggestion of AOC's boyfriend.
|
|
This is what the left has come to.
|
|
Because they have no causes.
|
|
Do you understand?
|
|
Life is great here.
|
|
So they need to invent problems to give their lives meaning.
|
|
These are empty.
|
|
The left is soulless.
|
|
There's no human soul.
|
|
I mean, they may use the term, but of course they don't believe it because...
|
|
There's only a soul if there's a God.
|
