Leftists Cause Their Own Problems With Racism
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I'm going to play for you a clip from the head coach of the New England Patriots who told the press conference, if you don't see color, you can't see racism.
If there's ever an Orwellian phrase uttered, I have to say that man who reflects the entire world of the left.
Has said something so absurd.
So let me understand.
The more you see color, the less racist you are.
Right?
Isn't that the upshot of that statement?
I guess.
I don't know.
Right.
Well, look.
If you don't see color, you can't see racism.
So the more you see color, the less you see racism.
Why isn't that the upshot?
So I'm thinking of the ultimate expression of racism in history, the annihilation of the Jews of Europe by the Nazis.
So can you imagine a Jew having said, if you don't see a Jew, you can't see anti-Semitism?
Wasn't the Jews wish that they didn't see Jews?
Of a Jew in Europe under the Nazis?
That you are religion blind, race blind, ethnicity blind?
You have to understand, not only is everything the left does destructive, it's meaningless.
It's intellectually vapid.
The universities have been taken over by intellectual lightweights.
And they produce morons like the coach of the New England Patriots.
It's a staggeringly stupid comment.
This is Ibram X. Kendi's whole appeal.
See race!
Then you're not racist.
Holy crow.
And you know who by it?
the college educated.
We'll be having a video coming out at PragerU on behalf of the beautiful doctrine called colorblind.
Amen.
I wrote a piece for my column many, I don't know, not many years ago, a few years ago, about how I so fell in love with America in my 20s and 30s.
In a, at that time, a very small city called Simi Valley.
Today it's a big city.
Or a medium-sized city, but a bustling city.
In California, this is the place I moved to when I first came.
In my 20s from New York City.
I joined the Rotary Club in that town.
And I was the only Jew in the club.
And I wrote a piece about how beautiful it was.
And what a statement it was about America that it was no big deal.
They were, in effect, religion blind or ethnicity blind.
I was Dennis.
Not Dennis the Jew.
This fool who was the head coach of the New England Patriots, he wants to be known as Jared the Black.
See?
And that's your identity?
That's it?
You're not Jared Mayo?
You're Jared the Black?
Gerard?
Oh, thank you.
Gerard.
Have you ever heard the name before, by the way?
I love names.
I'm curious.
Gerard?
The head coach of one of the most important franchises in sports.
And the guy is just suffering racism.
Poor thing.
You have to understand most kids in college, most professors, that's more important, most professors at universities believe that that statement is a valid one.
If you don't see color, you can't see racism.
The Ku Klux Klan see color.
Nazis see color.
And the left sees color.
On racial matters, the left and the Ku Klux Klan are essentially the same.
They both believe in black dormitories.
And they get away with it because they suppress speech like mine.
That's why.
That's why they hate PragerU.
We advocate colorblind.
They hate us.
I mean, you have no idea how much.
We have the audacity.
To allow kids to see five to seven minute videos on goodness.
We don't crap on America.
That's our number one sin.
All right, here he is, Gerard Mayo, staggering fool.
I do see color, because I believe if you don't see color, you can't see racism.
and whatever happens, black, white, disabled person, even someone with disabilities, I always, for the most part, people are like, when they're young, they kind of make the spot hot.
Younger people know what that means.
I don't, by the way.
Hold on.
What does that mean, make the spot hot?
Sean, you're in touch with popular culture.
What does that mean?
I assume it means to bring attention to.
To bring attention to the theater.
Okay, go on.
Like, no, I want you to be able to go up to those people and really understand those people.
So it goes back to whatever it is, black, white, yellow, it really doesn't matter, but it does matter so we can try to fix a problem that we all know we have.
Wait a minute.
It really doesn't matter, but it does matter.
See, this is word salad, folks.
This is word salad.
And do you know that the vast majority of the reporters there thought it was intelligent?
Because sports reporters are among the stupidest group of people ever created.
They're terrific in writing about sports, and otherwise they tend to be morons.
These are the people who clamored for the Washington Redskins to change their name when American Indians, Native Americans, didn't give a damn.
The Washington Post's own report on it showed that...
American Indians didn't care.
But Washington Post sports writers were livid because they have empty lives.
They wake up and they think, all I do is report on sports.
Wow, I have to make a difference.
By the way, that is exactly what every leftist thinks.
Oh, I don't make a difference.
So now I'll make a difference.
Now it's not the Washington Redskins.
What is it, the Washington what?
Commanders.
It evokes such deep, deep meaning.
