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.
