Hey guys, I'm thrilled to be sharing this little mini interview with you. | ||
You probably saw the viral video of Corey and his beautiful young daughter Royalty this week talking about how silly critical race theory is and how we should judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. | ||
So I'm gonna sit down with them in just a minute, but in case you missed the viral video, here you go. | ||

|
Daddy teaches you you can be anything in this world that you want to be, right? | |
Don't Daddy teach you that? | ||
Yeah, and it doesn't matter if you're black or white or any color. | ||
It doesn't matter if you're black, white, brown, yellow, right? | ||
And how we treat people is based on who they are and not what color they are. | ||
And if they're nice and smart. | ||
See? | ||
This is how children think right here. | ||
Critical Race Theory wants to end that. | ||
Not with my children. | ||
It's not gonna happen. | ||
My baby's gonna know that no matter what she wants to be in life, all she has to do is work hard and she can become that. | ||
Work hard even though you don't know anyone. | ||
You can make friends. | ||
Yeah, you can make friends. | ||
No matter what color they are. | ||
So we need to stop CRT. | ||
Period. | ||
Point. | ||
Blank. | ||
Children do not see skin color, man. | ||
They love everybody. | ||
They're good people, they love 'em. | ||
[music] | ||
Alright, I am with Cory and royalty right now, and... | ||
And Royalty, I gotta talk to you first. | ||
Can you believe that you're an internet star? | ||
Can you believe it? | ||
And I guess, how's that lollipop, more importantly? | ||
unidentified
|
Tell him. | |
Tell him! | ||
He's asking how's the lollipop. | ||
How's that lollipop? | ||
Lollipop's good? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
All right, we'll let her get sugared up a little bit. | ||
Corey, I mean, you put that thing out there on TikTok. | ||
Did you have any idea what was about to happen? | ||
unidentified
|
You know, I had no clue. | |
I had no clue, man. | ||
It was crazy. | ||
Like, I posted it, and then, like, two weeks went by, and then other people started posting it, and all of a sudden, you know, it just blew up. | ||
I'm just so grateful and thankful that people shared it. | ||
You know, I'm appreciative. | ||
And yeah. | ||
Royalty, how old are you? | ||
unidentified
|
Six. | |
Six years old. | ||
Is that kindergarten? | ||
Is that first grade? | ||
unidentified
|
First grade. | |
First grade. | ||
And your dad seems like he's a pretty good teacher, huh? | ||
Yes. | ||
Corey, when did you wake up to all of this stuff? | ||
Because I think most people watching the video were like, yeah, that's the truth. | ||
Kids are kids, people are people. | ||
But it takes a lot for people to see through the nonsense. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I've been waking up to it for a while now. | |
I'll say parents have been sending me different videos and things and different curriculums. | ||
And I've been seeing different videos on the internet. | ||
And then my daughter had an incident at her school with, Them teaching her about segregation. | ||
You want to tell them? | ||
Okay. | ||
Them teaching her about segregation and like water fountains and things like that. | ||
And I had to actually address the principal about it. | ||
So yeah, it's been going on for a while. | ||
What kind of pushback did you get when you talked to the principal? | ||
unidentified
|
It wasn't really any pushback. | |
He just told me that the teacher didn't really run it by him. | ||
She just played the video. | ||
Right. | ||
Royalty, how do you like being in school? | ||
Are you back in school? | ||
Are you in school right now? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Well, I mean, no. | ||
She just had her last day. | ||
Oh, you just had your last day. | ||
What was... My summer break. | ||
Oh, very nice. | ||
What are you going to do for the summer? | ||
unidentified
|
Go swimming and ride my bike. | |
Pretty good, that's a good summer right there. | ||
Corey, what about just like within your family and friends, like just as a father talking about this stuff, do you get pushback or are people with you? | ||
Are people kind of quietly supporting you? | ||
unidentified
|
Actually, that's funny you say that because I just got a call yesterday from a family member I hadn't spoke to in at least a couple of years and she was pretty upset. | |
She was pretty angry that I was pushing back against critical race theory. | ||
Um, and just that I push back against, you know, systematic racism and all those different types of things, too, and BLM and all of that. | ||
So, um, yeah. | ||
You know, it's mixed in the family, but as far as people that text me or DM me, I would say it's all love. | ||
Yeah. | ||
What do you do normally? | ||
So you're a content creator. | ||
Is that on the side? | ||
Is that a full-time? | ||
unidentified
|
No, that's full-time. | |
Oh, that's full-time. | ||
That's awesome. | ||
So tell the people more about what you're doing. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm just trying to spread the message, man. | |
I got my clothing line right here. | ||
I do it with my cousin. | ||
Godly Vibes is the website. | ||
And yeah, man, we're just trying to wake people up. | ||
That's what the mission is about. | ||
I actually have done other videos. | ||
This was just a video I did with my daughter on Critical Race Theory. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, I've been pushing back against, you know, the mainstream media | ||
and things like that for a while now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Royalty, you like doing videos with your dad? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, what's your favorite part about doing videos with him? | ||
unidentified
|
Being with him. | |
Being... (laughs) | ||
That's a good daughter and a good father right there. | ||
What about in that message? | ||
You were saying things that you just want to be nice to people and you want to be friends with people, right? | ||
You don't care about that other nonsense? | ||
unidentified
|
He's asking you in the video, over. | |
You were saying it doesn't matter what color you are, you just want to be nice to people, be nice to you, right? | ||
She likes doing the handheld, you know? | ||
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
What else would you want people to know? | ||
I mean, now a lot of eyeballs are on you. | ||
Suddenly your name was trending and people were trying to find out about you. | ||
That video, I mean, it really went bananas. | ||
It's gotta be seen at least five million times already. | ||
What else would you want people to know right now? | ||
unidentified
|
Right, as far as the video goes, I wanna say thank you to everybody. | |
I really appreciate you guys. | ||
Sharing the video. | ||
I want people to know that we should not look at each other and base our relationships with each other off of things as superficial as skin color or race. | ||
I think that you love everybody no matter what they look like. | ||
It's who they are on the inside. | ||
It's their character that matters. | ||
And that's what I was trying to get across. | ||
That's what we were trying to get across. | ||
Yeah, you like that message? | ||
Do you like that message, Royalty? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, we should treat everybody, how they behave, how they act towards us, pretty good, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's just a beautiful thing. | ||
Well, listen, Cory, if it's okay, I would like to send Royalty, you think she could do something with maybe like a $100 Amazon card? | ||
Is there anything she might wanna get? | ||
Royalty, is there anything you want? | ||
Is there, what, if you had some- - A Lamborghini! | ||
(laughing) | ||
unidentified
|
I'm a YouTuber! | |
I'm a YouTuber! | ||
unidentified
|
She has never said that before to me, ever. | |
Okay, if you're hearing this for the first time, I'm hearing this for the first time. | ||
This is crazy. | ||
A Lamborghini? | ||
unidentified
|
Is that for Mommy? | |
You said it to Mommy before? | ||
Wow. | ||
Okay. | ||
Man, I hope Mommy's got a good job. | ||
Is there anything that might be a little less expensive than a Lamborghini? | ||
unidentified
|
That would be pretty good. | |
He's asking, he wants to get it for you. | ||
I want to get you something. | ||
unidentified
|
You don't know? | |
American Girl Doll? | ||
American Girl Doll? | ||
Done! | ||

unidentified
|
Thank you! | |
You're welcome. | ||
The Lamborghini, you're gonna have to give me a little time on that. | ||
All right. | ||
Well, listen, you guys are both awesome. | ||
And Corey, I'm going to text you separately. | ||
We'll take care of that. | ||
