=== If You Don't See Color (07:11) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:17]  If there's ever an Orwellian phrase uttered, I have to say that man who reflects the entire world of the left.
[00:00:30]  Has said something so absurd.
[00:00:34]  So let me understand.
[00:00:36]  The more you see color, the less racist you are.
[00:00:40]  Right?
[00:00:41]  Isn't that the upshot of that statement?
[00:00:44]  I guess.
[00:00:45]  I don't know.
[00:00:45]  Right.
[00:00:46]  Well, look.
[00:00:47]  If you don't see color, you can't see racism.
[00:00:51]  So the more you see color, the less you see racism.
[00:00:56]  Why isn't that the upshot?
[00:01:00]  So I'm thinking of the ultimate expression of racism in history, the annihilation of the Jews of Europe by the Nazis.
[00:01:12]  So can you imagine a Jew having said, if you don't see a Jew, you can't see anti-Semitism?
[00:01:21]  Wasn't the Jews wish that they didn't see Jews?
[00:01:30]  Of a Jew in Europe under the Nazis?
[00:01:33]  That you are religion blind, race blind, ethnicity blind?
[00:01:42]  You have to understand, not only is everything the left does destructive, it's meaningless.
[00:01:49]  It's intellectually vapid.
[00:01:53]  The universities have been taken over by intellectual lightweights.
[00:02:00]  And they produce morons like the coach of the New England Patriots.
[00:02:04]  It's a staggeringly stupid comment.
[00:02:07]  This is Ibram X. Kendi's whole appeal.
[00:02:11]  See race!
[00:02:14]  Then you're not racist.
[00:02:19]  Holy crow.
[00:02:20]  And you know who by it?
[00:02:21]  the college educated.
[00:02:22]  We'll be having a video coming out at PragerU on behalf of the beautiful doctrine called colorblind.
[00:02:39]  Amen.
[00:02:42]  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.
[00:02:59]  In a, at that time, a very small city called Simi Valley.
[00:03:03]  Today it's a big city.
[00:03:05]  Or a medium-sized city, but a bustling city.
[00:03:09]  In California, this is the place I moved to when I first came.
[00:03:14]  In my 20s from New York City.
[00:03:19]  I joined the Rotary Club in that town.
[00:03:22]  And I was the only Jew in the club.
[00:03:25]  And I wrote a piece about how beautiful it was.
[00:03:28]  And what a statement it was about America that it was no big deal.
[00:03:33]  They were, in effect, religion blind or ethnicity blind.
[00:03:38]  I was Dennis.
[00:03:40]  Not Dennis the Jew.
[00:03:43]  This fool who was the head coach of the New England Patriots, he wants to be known as Jared the Black.
[00:03:53]  See?
[00:03:54]  And that's your identity?
[00:03:58]  That's it?
[00:03:59]  You're not Jared Mayo?
[00:04:01]  You're Jared the Black?
[00:04:03]  Gerard?
[00:04:04]  Oh, thank you.
[00:04:06]  Gerard.
[00:04:07]  Have you ever heard the name before, by the way?
[00:04:10]  I love names.
[00:04:11]  I'm curious.
[00:04:11]  Gerard?
[00:04:16]  The head coach of one of the most important franchises in sports.
[00:04:21]  And the guy is just suffering racism.
[00:04:25]  Poor thing.
[00:04:32]  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.
[00:04:48]  If you don't see color, you can't see racism.
[00:04:52]  The Ku Klux Klan see color.
[00:04:55]  Nazis see color.
[00:04:57]  And the left sees color.
[00:05:00]  On racial matters, the left and the Ku Klux Klan are essentially the same.
[00:05:07]  They both believe in black dormitories.
[00:05:14]  And they get away with it because they suppress speech like mine.
[00:05:18]  That's why.
[00:05:20]  That's why they hate PragerU.
[00:05:22]  We advocate colorblind.
[00:05:24]  They hate us.
[00:05:25]  I mean, you have no idea how much.
[00:05:27]  We have the audacity.
[00:05:30]  To allow kids to see five to seven minute videos on goodness.
[00:05:37]  We don't crap on America.
[00:05:39]  That's our number one sin.
[00:05:44]  All right, here he is, Gerard Mayo, staggering fool.
[00:05:49]  I do see color, because I believe if you don't see color, you can't see racism.
[00:05:54]  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.
[00:06:07]  Younger people know what that means.
[00:06:09]  I don't, by the way.
[00:06:10]  Hold on.
[00:06:11]  What does that mean, make the spot hot?
[00:06:13]  Sean, you're in touch with popular culture.
[00:06:15]  What does that mean?
[00:06:16]  I assume it means to bring attention to.
[00:06:21]  To bring attention to the theater.
[00:06:23]  Okay, go on.
[00:06:26]  Like, no, I want you to be able to go up to those people and really understand those people.
[00:06:30]  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.
[00:06:39]  Wait a minute.
[00:06:40]  It really doesn't matter, but it does matter.
[00:06:43]  See, this is word salad, folks.
[00:06:45]  This is word salad.
[00:06:46]  And do you know that the vast majority of the reporters there thought it was intelligent?
[00:06:51]  Because sports reporters are among the stupidest group of people ever created.

=== Washington Post's Empty Lives (00:54) ===

[00:06:56]  They're terrific in writing about sports, and otherwise they tend to be morons.
[00:07:03]  These are the people who clamored for the Washington Redskins to change their name when American Indians, Native Americans, didn't give a damn.
[00:07:12]  The Washington Post's own report on it showed that...
[00:07:15]  American Indians didn't care.
[00:07:17]  But Washington Post sports writers were livid because they have empty lives.
[00:07:22]  They wake up and they think, all I do is report on sports.
[00:07:26]  Wow, I have to make a difference.
[00:07:29]  By the way, that is exactly what every leftist thinks.
[00:07:36]  Oh, I don't make a difference.
[00:07:38]  So now I'll make a difference.
[00:07:40]  Now it's not the Washington Redskins.
[00:07:43]  What is it, the Washington what?
[00:07:46]  Commanders.
[00:07:47]  It evokes such deep, deep meaning.
