Tate on Racism
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right. I just tweeted something about this whole riot situation.
I was going to try not to comment, but I tweeted something that seemed to enrage people and get people upset.
So I'm going to give a more detailed view on my analysis of the situation.
So just for the people who don't know me, I am mixed race.
I'm half black and half white.
I was born in America.
I've got an American passport.
I moved to England and now I live in Romania.
And Romania is a country with no black people.
So, uh, I have kind of like a diverse, unique view of racism, how it's viewed, et cetera, et cetera.
I was always considered a right-wing guy.
My sister is super liberal.
And, uh, I just want to explain how I view the riots and how I view the situation with the cops.
I want to start by saying that the cop was wrong, and that man, there was no need to put your knee on that man for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, he was handcuffed on the ground.
The cop should go to jail.
I also want to say that American police are completely out of control.
They think they're in Iraq.
They're completely out of control, these people.
And they do need checking.
So I agree with the protests, and I agree something needs to be done.
So let's start by saying that.
But I want to move on to why I believe this is happening and my view on the whole racism argument that the police are inherently racist and that as soon as you become a police officer you become a racist and you're racist and you just hate black people.
I don't think that's true.
What I think is happening is there is a pattern recognition element to humanity Which is being confused with racism.
So because I tweeted it, I'm going to go word for word with the tweet to make sure I don't, you know, no one gets confused and they can see.
So I made the first point, which is that the majority of racism is very subtle.
So the same person who will fear a black man at night if he's walking down the road and she's a black guy who'll be scared.
It's the same guy who will see a black guy at work and be like, oh, hi.
Hey, Tim.
How are you?
So he may be subtly racist in certain situations, but when he interacts with black people, he's actually fine with black people.
It's just certain views.
He has certain things about.
His view on possible risks to his safety or the possibility for crime, which is racist.
It's more racist.
It's racist to think a black man's more likely to attack you than a white man.
If you said that, then everyone would say you're a racist.
He holds these views, but in general, he's quite nice to black people when he interacts with them.
So he's very subtly racist. 99% of racist people are like this. Only 1% are overtly racist. There's only 1% of those idiot rednecks who are really like, I don't like none of them blacks.
These are complete dumbfucks.
The majority of people are not like that.
So when we're talking about racism and systematic racism and the police force being racist, the majority of people which would be deemed racist, if you treat them with respect or normally or in a non-violent, non-confronting, non-dangerous situation, they're not going to be racist.
Their racist views are only held in extreme situations.
That's the first thing.
And this is the point I wanted to make.
Now, my physicality is I'm a 6'3".
Brown, sexy as fuck, built like Hercules' brother.
So I understand physicality.
And every man who's out there, black or white, understands physicality.
If you're a big man, there's a physical presence you have, which benefits you.
And it benefits you because you're less likely to be a target, and women want to fuck you.
But it also is a detriment.
And I'll give you an example.
When I used to work door-to-door sales, I used to, when I was broke long ago, I used to sell double glazing windows.
And if I was doing the night run, no one would answer the door.
Whereas the girls who are on the same run as me used to always beat me on the sales targets.
Now, these girls couldn't sell, but at least people would answer the door.
When people see me outside the door at night, they're like, who the fuck is this?
You know this guy?
Fuck it.
No, no way.
I might hear him inside.
Do you know him?
Do you know him?
They'd be scared because I'm big and I'm brown.
Are those people racist?
I don't know, but there's a big, we're about to discuss that.
But the point is I'm a physically imposing individual.
So I understand physicality.
So here's the point I'll try to make.
If you experience trouble or trauma repeatedly from a particular type or color of person, you will naturally fear said group of people.
And this is called racism.
However, it's really pattern recognition, because this is how humans evolved.
How did humans learn to not go and stroke the lions?
Oh, the lions are cute.
Let's go stroke the lion.
Oh, Fred stroked the lion.
He died.
And Tim stroked the lion.
He died.
I'm not gonna stroke that lion.
So, humans have evolved with pattern recognition.
This is how we survived.
And we've always had the ability to identify patterns.
And my point is, is that if you're an individual, cop or otherwise, you're a normal person, and you have more trouble with any type of people, let's not make it black and white because that's going to upset people.
Tall and short people.
Tall people, I've robbed you.
Tall people are aggressive to you.
Tall people don't comply when you try and arrest them.
Tall people are trouble.
And you pull over a car and you see a motherfucker tall.
You're going to be more wary of that individual than if he was short.
Does that make you a racist?
Well, I don't know.
I'm not even going to answer.
This is the point I'm trying to make.
It means you recognize patterns, which is human nature.
Of course you do.
Does that make you a racist?
If I arrest four purple people and four green people every day, and three of the purple people are aggressive, and only one of the green people is aggressive, I will naturally be more wary of purple people.
That's natural human instinct.
It'd be impossible for me not to.
I'd have to be a fool, an idiot, to, over years and years of my career, experience trouble with purple people, as opposed to the green, because everyone's troubled, but in general.
And then when I see a purple person, believe that the likelihood of them giving me trouble is exactly the same as a green person.
Because statistically, it's not.
And in my human experience, it's not.
So I'm going to recognize a pattern.
I'll be more afraid, more nervous, more hard-handed, and I'm more likely to pull the trigger.
Because purple people shot at me.
Green person doesn't shoot me very often, but purple people shoot back, or they shoot first.
So you're more likely to pull the trigger.
This is the reality.
Does this make me a racist against purple people, or does this mean I have identified a pattern?
Which is natural human behavior.
Next question I have for you.
Because I'm not even really trying to tell you people what to think.
I'm just asking you questions.
Because I'm looking at this whole race divide in America.
Because Americans are a broken society.
America's broken and it's deteriorating.
I live in Romania, which is on the way up.
And I like to live in a society which is on the way up, as opposed to one that's on the decline.
America's never going to get better.
It's worse than it's ever been.
And it's going to keep getting worse.
When people say, what do I do about America?
I say, leave!
You're a fool to live there.
You're a fool to live there.
But if you're going to live in America, you need to understand these problems are not getting better.
It's a broken society.
And if I was in charge of the country and I had to break it, the first thing you do is you need to diagnose the problem.
If your car is broken, what's the first thing you do?
Well, you open up the hood and find out what's broken.
You can't just go, Oh, the car ain't working.
Uh, change your tires.
You don't know anything.
You don't know.
You need to diagnose.
So we're trying to diagnose the problem here.
Next question.
If you've been robbed at gunpoint while walking home at night by three different white men, white men!
If you've been robbed at gunpoint while walking home at night by three different white men in your adult life, and once again you're walking home alone late at night and you see a white man on the corner, are you racist to think he might rob you?
Because you'd be a fool for it to not cross your mind.
You'd be a fool to think, last times I walked past these white brothers, they pulled a gun and they robbed me.
There's another white guy standing in the corner doing nothing.
It's going to cross your mind.
You're going to be nervous.
A Chinese man never robbed you.
So if there's a Chinese man on the corner, you're cool.
I love Chinese food.
No problem.
But the white guys robbed me.
Are you racist against white people or have you recognized a pattern?
I'll ask the same question.
Have you been robbed at gunpoint while walking home at night by three different black men in your adult life?
And you're once again walking towards a black man at night.
Are you racist to think this black man might rob you?
Are you a racist?
Or have you recognized a pattern?
Because you'd be a fool for it to not cross your mind.
And my personal view, and this is only my personal view, is that pattern recognition is not racism.
Pattern recognition is a natural aspect of being human.
We all recognize patterns in people.
I recognize patterns in certain types of women.
You can recognize patterns in certain types of men.
Girls, if you're watching this, the guys who are always out fucking all those girls, oh, he's the kind of guy who cheats.
Everyone recognizes patterns in humanity.
This is how humans function.
And we've gotten to a point where liberals say pattern recognition is racism, and it's not.
And the unfortunate truth is that if one demographic commits more crime than the other, and it's been objectively proven that said demographic commits more crime than the other.
Then people are more likely to expect crime from said demographic.
Now, we can go into the discussion about why they commit more crime, about how they've been forced into the ghettos, low-income neighborhoods, blah, blah, blah.
That's a different argument.
I ain't got time.
I ain't got all day.
I'm just talking about the fact.
The fact is, why we're gonna take out of it, black people do commit more crime than white people.
So, if you're a police officer, and you have more experience with black individuals who've committed crime, Are you more likely to think a black person is guilty of said crime, as opposed to if you go and arrest a Chinese man, for example?
Let's cut the bullshit!
If you turn up to a crime scene, and there's a black guy, and they say he's done an armed robbery, are you more likely to think, this motherfucker, the last black guy shot me, this guy tackled, did they resist arrest, and come at him hard-handed, than if you turn up and you see a little Chinese woman?
People are like, what?
Of course you're not going to be trigger happy on some Chinese bitch because they don't do nothing to you!
But black people have done things to you.
Black people may have killed your partner.
Now, I'm not saying white people haven't done things to you, too.
I'm just talking about statistically.
Because statistically more crime is committed by black people.
Statistically, they're more likely to have committed acts against cops.
If cops experience more trouble from said demo, they will be harder on said demo because they've recognized a pattern.
This is human behavior.
Now let's remove the black and white because it makes people too emotional to think properly.
When we say black and white, people get really angry and they don't listen to what I'm trying to say.
And once again...
That black man, George Lloyd, should not have died.
Or Floyd, sorry.
That black man should not have died, and that cop was out of control, and American cops are out of control, and it's not fair for good black people to be demonized because of the actions of some black people.
I'm not talking about fair.
I don't live in a fairy tale.
I'm not saying that things are okay because they're this way.
I'm just saying why they are the way they are.
I'm just saying why cops have a natural bias.
They're not joining the police force and thinking, yes, Now I get to be racist.
They're learning patterns throughout their career that makes them act in a way which can be deemed as racist.
It's pattern recognition.
So let's remove the black and the white.
In Romania, where I am, we have Romanian people and we have gypsies.
They're not the same.
People think they're the same.
They're not.
Gypsies commit more crime than Romanians.
Eight times more.
Statistically proven.
When the police turn up and there's gypsies around, they instantly get their batons out.
This is Romania.
It's not like America where they play those fucking race games.
Here, they don't give a fuck.
If there's gypsies causing trouble, if there's a Romanian causing trouble, police gets out, what's the problem?
If there's gypsies, police gets out, pulls his baton, starts cracking heads.
Straight!
Now, when you ask the police why they're so hard, they say, well, because they're gypsies, and gypsies are trouble.
This is their learned behavior.
Are they racist?
Maybe.
But they've also had enough experience with gypsies to know these motherfuckers are trouble all the time.
All the time.
What if, and this is where it gets a bit complicated, what if you're absolutely correct in having this bias?
So in the Romanian example, What if they are racist, but they're right?
Gypsies are more trouble, more likely to be up to no good, more dangerous.
What if they're perfectly 100% correct to be harder with the gypsies because they've tried being nice and it doesn't work?
They've tried being diplomatic, it doesn't work.
The only thing that's ever worked is force.
So the second they get out of the car, they start projecting force instantly.
And they may be seen as racist, but what if they're completely correct that is the right path because these people commit more crime than natural born Romanians?
Are they racist or have they just identified a pattern?
And they've identified, well, this is what happens with these type of people, so we handle this type of people.
And obviously, of course, there's the odd good gypsy.
But if you've got a name for your demographic or said demographic has only acted a certain way towards law enforcement, law enforcement is only going to act a certain way back.
I'm going to say this one more time because I know the kind of comments I'm going to get in this video.
American cops have serious attitude problems.
They're some of the worst police in the world and they need a serious reality check.
A lot of them think they're still in Iraq.
If you had been shot at by one group of individuals more than others, you will hold a bias.
It is impossible not to hold a bias if one group of people, tall, short, black, white, gay, straight, whatever, shoots at you more often than another group, you will hold a bias and that will translate into your policing because you are human.
You are human.
The crazy thing about all this is that this whole movement Makes black people more aggressive to police.
Because it makes black people hate the police.
Which makes them more likely to tell the police to fuck you and less likely to comply.
And then everything gets worse, doesn't it?
Because that amplifies the problem.
Will it make cops more or less racist with their pattern recognition if black individuals are more likely to resist and be aggressive to police?
It's going to make everything worse.
It makes everything worse.
The only way you can truly fix this problem and mend broken America is to solve the crime that plagues low-income areas where the people of color live.
Cops don't shoot Chinese people quickly because Chinese people are largely very peaceful, high-income, affluent individuals.
They don't cause trouble.
So the cops don't roll up on a group of Chinese people and think, let's spray.
They don't think that.
They think, whoa, Chinese food.
I'm hungry.
This is the thing.
Cops, it's not that cops aren't racist against Chinese, it's that cops have never identified a pattern with Chinese that have brought about behavior which is detrimental.
Do you understand?
They've never seen Chinese people, and often enough, cause enough trouble to identify the pattern for them to think, fuck it, let's fuck up the Chinese when we see him on sight.
He might shoot me first.
Fuck, on the ground, on the ground!
The police are scared!
And they're scared because of their experiences and the stories they've heard.
Police are human.
So if they see a group of brothers in the hood, Compton, standing on a corner, not showing their hands, the police are afraid!
And that makes them trigger happy.
Scared dogs bite.
If they see a group of Chinese people in Beverly Hills, they're not afraid.
They can get the same phone call, armed robbery, this address.
Go to Compton, armed robbery, that address.
Go to Beverly Hills.
And just from the color they see when they turn up, their entire adrenaline level is different.
Does that make them racist?
Maybe.
Or maybe they're just identified a pattern.
Maybe they are human.
To confuse racism with pattern recognition is unfair.
It's unfair to tell a cop in the line of duty you are never allowed to identify a pattern for your own self-perservation.
You're not allowed to identify any pattern ever across your entire career, ever.
You need to risk your life more than necessary because you're not allowed to identify a pattern, ever.
Yeah, the last three people who refused to put their hands up shot at you.
And this person's refused to put his hands up, but that doesn't mean he's going to shoot at you.
So you're not allowed to shoot him because you're not allowed to identify patterns.
That's unfair.
It's unfair to tell humans to not identify patterns because that's what humans do.
It's what humans have always done, and the truth is, it's what patterns are always going to do.
It's gonna take time, but if we solve the crime, then the cops will no longer see a pattern.
Let the white people be the troublemakers, and then they'll get killed.
If you're the good people, then the white people are the bad people, and let them get shot.
That's the only genuine answer to fixing this problem.
But instead, what are black people doing?
Looting.
Does this help?
No, it doesn't help.
Now, before you get angry, I'm going to flip this.
Use the exact same logic I just laid out above for why black people don't like cops.
Pattern recognition.
Cops always come at me hard, man.
I didn't do nothing.
Cops always fucking screaming at me, putting me on the ground.
Cops always trying to arrest me.
So now the black people are perfectly justified to dislike the police.
Because the black people have now identified a pattern on how cops treat them.
The same way cops have identified a pattern with how black people treat them.
And it spirals out of control.
So before you come to me and say I'm a racist, you can apply it the other way around.
Black people have every reason to not like police.
Because they've identified a pattern in police behaviors.
Normal.
And this is why it's spiraling out of control and this is why it's never going to get better.
Because no one is going to sit there and actually say what I've just said.
Because you're risking being deemed a racist.
For just saying the truth about human pattern recognition.
My genuine take on all of this, and this is my actual genuine take on the whole race thing.
It's not about colors.
If you're a billionaire and you go into a room and you meet a billionaire from Africa and a billionaire from Mexico and a billionaire from India, do you think that as a white billionaire you think, oh, black people?
No, you don't give a fuck.
Rich people all get along no matter what color they are.
The billionaires all stand around and talk and they're all different colors.
Nobody minds.
The only people who divide themselves by color are the poor people.
And the billionaires ensure this happens so that the poor people can't get together for long enough to overthrow the rich people.
It's not about black and white, it's about rich and poor.
It's always been about rich and poor.
It's not about black and white, it's not about Democrat and Republican, it's not about any of the things that the elites are tricking you into thinking it's about.
If you are sitting here thinking, this is about white people and Republicans and I'm a black Democrat, you are low IQ.
It's nothing to do with that.
Because the billionaire black people and the billionaire white people are friends.
They're on the same team.
And their team is against your team.
And the number one goal of the elites is to make sure the people, the shit munchers, at the bottom, who have lost their jobs due to a phony virus and can't pay the bills, don't sit and think long enough to get their shit together and work as a team.
If these marches were against rich people instead of black on white, the world would genuinely change.
But no, it's two groups of generally poor people, no billionaires, fighting with each other over dumb shit while the billionaires are on their boat laughing their ass off.
Final point I want to make about all of this.
I called this virus a hoax from the start and everyone called me crazy.
People do.
When the virus kicked off, if you follow me on YouTube or you follow me on my other channel, Take Confidential, the first thing I did was fly to Sweden, which is wide open, and went partying.
I didn't do it because I want a party.
I did it to prove a point.
The virus isn't real.
There is a virus, yes.
Is it deadly?
No.
Is shutting down the economy an appropriate response?
Absolutely not.
Clown world!
And isn't it crazy that a government will mandate a small business owner who worked his ass off to close his company down and force his family into fiscal annihilation, destroying people's life savings and destroying people's lives, life's work for a virus with a 99.5% survival rate.
And now people are rioting in close quarters.
Remember two weeks ago, you got arrested for being on the beach by yourself.
Now there's no more social distancing.
Now you can riot in huge groups and nobody's saying shit.
Do you not see how the elites play you?
They stopped mentioning the virus.
Everyone stopped mentioning the virus.
No one talks about the virus anymore.
Now it's racism.
You're all sheep.
The truth is, George Carlin said it, and he was true.
He got it completely right.
There is an elite club.
I'm a millionaire.
I am not a billionaire.
And even I have seen, and what I've seen, let me assure you, there is an elite club that you're not in, and none of them people are arguing about the dumb shit you're arguing about.
So if you're looking at this race thing and you feel like going on the street and marching, blah, blah, blah, you need to drop that crap, get your money up, and transcend.
