Dennis Prager Show - Dennis Prager Responds to AOC's Boyfriend Aired: 2020-02-10 Duration: 05:11 === Why You Might Be Blind To Racism (04:37) === [00:00:00] What has been effective for you? [00:00:03] Is that what she said? [00:00:04] In combating racism. [00:00:06] You in combating racism. [00:00:09] That's the key word there. [00:00:12] Helpful to you. [00:00:13] Helpful, that's it. [00:00:14] Okay, helpful, yeah. [00:00:15] So she said all whites should talk to each other about racism. [00:00:18] So I am taking Riley's advice. [00:00:20] I have a white man in the room. [00:00:23] My producer is white. [00:00:25] You're really white. [00:00:27] Let's talk. [00:00:28] Right, can you have his mic there? [00:00:30] I'm not hearing him. [00:00:32] Are we good now? [00:00:33] I'm not as white as you. [00:00:35] That's correct. [00:00:35] But I'm actually pink. [00:00:36] I can actually, if I stay in the sun, I can kind of get darker. [00:00:43] I'm white looking. [00:00:44] Yeah, well that's cultural appropriation. [00:00:46] You should not stay in the sun. [00:00:48] But you can't. [00:00:48] You can't do it. [00:00:49] No, I can't. [00:00:49] I would just turn more red. [00:00:51] I think this is the kind of, I think this is what she's talking about. [00:00:54] We're now having a conversation about whiteness. [00:00:58] Yes. [00:00:59] That has to count in some fashion. [00:01:01] Well, yeah, because whiteness is defined as racist. [00:01:05] So I'm curious. [00:01:06] So let's talk about it. [00:01:08] So today, for example, let's just take today. [00:01:12] Open up to me and the audience. [00:01:14] What racist thought did you have today? [00:01:20] I didn't. [00:01:21] See, this is a perfect example of what they're saying on the left. [00:01:27] 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. [00:01:38] But I know you. [00:01:40] I don't think you have a racist bone in your body. [00:01:43] I think race matters to you as much as shoe color. [00:01:47] Maybe shoe color matters more, actually. [00:01:50] You think about that. [00:01:51] Yeah, I'm very, very sensitive about your color. [00:01:52] Yes, no, I know. [00:01:54] It's a poor... [00:01:55] I was wrong. [00:01:56] Now, that I thought about today. [00:01:57] Yes, I believe that too. [00:01:58] So did I. What shoes to wear. [00:02:00] What color shoes are you wearing, by the way? [00:02:02] Black. [00:02:04] What was the option? [00:02:06] I could have worn something like a burgundy. [00:02:10] Because I have a... [00:02:11] I'm sort of... [00:02:12] My theme is blue today. [00:02:15] I have blue pants. [00:02:16] Do you own blue shoes? [00:02:18] They make them. [00:02:20] I don't actually own a pair of blue shoes. [00:02:22] I have gray. [00:02:24] Now you see where the direction went here? [00:02:29] Because we really don't have anything to say about human colors. [00:02:32] It interests us less than shoe colors. [00:02:36] We don't think about it. [00:02:37] We don't think about it. [00:02:38] So we're having an honest dialogue about it. [00:02:40] Why would we think about it? [00:02:40] That's right. [00:02:41] Why would we think about it? [00:02:42] That's right. [00:02:42] What productive thing would come out of it? [00:02:46] Exactly. [00:02:47] What productive thing? [00:02:49] Well, it isn't. [00:02:50] I mean, if we spent time talking about our unconscious racism, what would that sound like? [00:02:57] Well, I don't know. [00:02:58] How do you talk about your unconscious? [00:03:00] I don't have racist thoughts. [00:03:00] You don't have racist thoughts. [00:03:02] And then we're supposed to have a conversation. [00:03:03] By the way, here's the interesting thing. [00:03:05] The theory that they have is that we are... [00:03:11] What is it? [00:03:14] We're unconsciously racist. [00:03:18] Or even we're racist, but we don't know it. [00:03:22] So I have a question. [00:03:23] I've done a lot of work. [00:03:25] I've written a major book on anti-Semitism. [00:03:28] Every anti-Semite knows he's an anti-Semite. [00:03:33] Why does that work? [00:03:36] I mean, if you'd have asked an anti-Semite, are you an anti-Semite? [00:03:39] Of course I'm an anti-Semite. [00:03:41] I think Jews control the world, and I hate them, and Hitler didn't finish the job. [00:03:48] But, gee, why would you call me an anti-Semite? [00:03:51] That's not going to happen. [00:03:52] Well, it's like dog whistles. [00:03:53] The only people who hear dog whistles are leftists. [00:03:57] That's correct. [00:03:58] Who accuse... [00:04:00] Right, of whistling. [00:04:02] Conservatives of whistling, yeah. [00:04:05] But the whole premise, you don't know you are. [00:04:10] I mean, it could exist in theory, but in practice, people who hate groups know they hate groups. [00:04:19] It's the way it generally works. [00:04:21] Well, thank you. [00:04:22] You hate slow drivers in the left hand. === Inventing Problems (00:47) === [00:04:23] Yes, and I acknowledge it. [00:04:25] That's correct. [00:04:26] Yes, there should be a special place for them. [00:04:30] All right, thank you, sir. [00:04:32] Now you had a dialogue with a white man about racism. [00:04:36] Following the... [00:04:40] The deep suggestion of AOC's boyfriend. [00:04:46] This is what the left has come to. [00:04:49] Because they have no causes. [00:04:50] Do you understand? [00:04:51] Life is great here. [00:04:53] So they need to invent problems to give their lives meaning. [00:04:57] These are empty. [00:04:58] The left is soulless. [00:05:03] There's no human soul. [00:05:04] I mean, they may use the term, but of course they don't believe it because... [00:05:08] There's only a soul if there's a God.
