This Title is Racist, Too! · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

0:00
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure coming up with a clever intro for
0:02
Speaker 1: podcasts is racist too. It's one more thing, one more
0:08
Speaker 1: thing before we into.
0:14
Speaker 2: So I was just in Canada. I've spent most of
0:16
Speaker 2: the week driving across Canada with my kids, and as
0:20
Speaker 2: I was making a joke earlier about the so glad
0:25
Speaker 2: to be back in the United States because Canada is
0:27
Speaker 2: like being in South Dakota. I mean, it's not that
0:32
Speaker 2: different except for one thing. There's one thing that stood
0:35
Speaker 2: out as being very, very different that I kept it
0:41
Speaker 2: forgetting every restaurant I went to. I didn't realize this
0:44
Speaker 2: American flags.
0:46
Speaker 1: No.
0:47
Speaker 2: It is interesting seeing Canadian flags and thinking, oh, yeah,
0:50
Speaker 2: they're flying that just like we fly on our flag,
0:52
Speaker 2: because they're like like their country and whatnot. At a restaurant,
0:59
Speaker 2: I kept attempting to hand them my credit card and
1:02
Speaker 2: they're like.
1:02
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
1:04
Speaker 2: You must be from the United States. We do not
1:07
Speaker 2: touch the credit cards here in Canada. I'm like what.
1:11
Speaker 2: And I had a couple of different waiters explain to
1:13
Speaker 2: me how, yeah, I know in Canada, I was down
1:15
Speaker 2: in the United States. First of all, several waiters has
1:18
Speaker 2: said I was down in the United States last year
1:21
Speaker 2: for the first time, and I thought, you live within
1:25
Speaker 2: a couple hundred miles in the United States, greatest country
1:27
Speaker 2: it's ever existed. You've never gone interesting?
1:30
Speaker 1: Okay, damn Canucks.
1:31
Speaker 2: Anyway, I was there at a restaurant and I gave
1:33
Speaker 2: him my credit card and the guy went left with it,
1:35
Speaker 2: and I chased him down. I had to chase him
1:37
Speaker 2: all the way to the kitchen, and he was like,
1:39
Speaker 2: this is the way we do it in the United States.
1:41
Speaker 2: But yeah, they think it's nuts that you give your
1:46
Speaker 2: credit card to somebody and then they go and you know,
1:50
Speaker 2: run it through the machine and come back and bring
1:52
Speaker 2: you your bill. They just think that's so insane.
1:56
Speaker 1: Like going to stop and order a suit or something
1:59
Speaker 1: with it on his way.
2:01
Speaker 2: I had multiple different waiters or waitresses explain to me
2:04
Speaker 2: how Yeah, they immediately had to log on to see
2:07
Speaker 2: if they had spent any money or done anything or
2:10
Speaker 2: stolen their information. Where I said, you know, I give
2:13
Speaker 2: my credit card. There probably days where I give my
2:14
Speaker 2: credit card to four different people in a day, and
2:17
Speaker 2: I'd ever think twice about it. Oh that's crazy, So yeah,
2:21
Speaker 2: they got it. They do not touch your credit card
2:23
Speaker 2: they bring either go up to the machine or they
2:25
Speaker 2: bring the machine there and then you do it, because
2:27
Speaker 2: it would be like robbing you to touch your.
2:30
Speaker 1: Credit card for summer, which is interesting because Canadians have
2:33
Speaker 1: such a reputation as being friendly, earnest, neighborly, don't lock
2:38
Speaker 1: the door if they have the presumption of thievery.
2:41
Speaker 2: Yes, they don't lock their doors, and they are they
2:44
Speaker 2: are very polite. And then and then I was driving
2:47
Speaker 2: through parts of the country where you can't imagine any
2:49
Speaker 2: crime happening of any kind. But yeah, they assume that
2:54
Speaker 2: any just to be normal, that if you had somebody's
2:57
Speaker 2: credit card you're immediately going to buy a.
2:59
Speaker 1: Car or something like it, wouldn't get caught. I don't.
3:03
Speaker 2: I just thought that was funny. On the other hand,
3:05
Speaker 2: I do think it's interesting, and we've talked about this
3:06
Speaker 2: many times over the years. It is amazing that I
3:11
Speaker 2: hand my credit card to some appierce trando who disappears
3:16
Speaker 2: for half an hour and he can write down the numbers,
3:19
Speaker 2: the little three numbered thing on the back, everything he
3:22
Speaker 2: needs to immediately go on Amazon and by whatever the
3:24
Speaker 2: hell he wants.
3:26
Speaker 1: And we don't ship it to his cousin so yeah,
3:28
Speaker 1: it needs no proof. Yeah, this is giving me a complex.
3:32
Speaker 2: But I've never had anything bad happen. If any of
3:34
Speaker 2: you ever had anything bad happened that you could trace
3:36
Speaker 2: to a waiter, I haven't.
3:38
Speaker 1: I think once something funky happened and it and it
3:43
Speaker 1: might have been a fast food not a fast food,
3:45
Speaker 1: but like a pizza joint. They had a rogue employee.
3:47
Speaker 1: But it was a minor occurrence in my life. I
3:49
Speaker 1: can't even remember the particulars. You know what, always a
3:52
Speaker 1: guy who I when I'm done, I'm done. I want
3:55
Speaker 1: to get up, I want to go. Nothing makes me
3:58
Speaker 1: more insane than waiting all of a sudden, the way
4:00
Speaker 1: the servers disappeared. You can't get the check, you can't
4:04
Speaker 1: pay the check, and then maybe finally you flag somebody down,
4:08
Speaker 1: they take your credit card. Ten minutes go by. Oh
4:10
Speaker 1: I get murderous. I just want to leave. I wish
4:13
Speaker 1: there was like you know, they walk around with a
4:15
Speaker 1: little machines sometimes where you do it right at the table,
4:17
Speaker 1: which saves the back and forth. I wish those were
4:20
Speaker 1: mounted in the table. You know what, when I'm done,
4:23
Speaker 1: just let me do my card.
4:24
Speaker 2: Goron, you need to eat it. Red Robin more often.
4:28
Speaker 1: Texas Roadhouse they have that as well. They leave it
4:30
Speaker 1: at the table.
4:31
Speaker 2: All of those what are those places called, they got
4:34
Speaker 2: a casual fast casual, I guess all those places have
4:38
Speaker 2: a little thing at the table. Yeah, and you do
4:40
Speaker 2: everything at the table and it's fantastic, and yeah, you.
4:42
Speaker 1: Can get out of there.
4:43
Speaker 3: It's got the big red light at the top until
4:45
Speaker 3: you pay, and then it turns green. You're like, let's go.
4:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they can just look across the restaurant and see, okay,
4:49
Speaker 2: that person paid.
4:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's really weird. During the show today,
4:53
Speaker 1: we're talking about the GLP ones that jack has started
4:56
Speaker 1: thanks to a fake online rubber stampy doctor.
5:00
Speaker 2: It was probably a real doctor, but I don't think
5:01
Speaker 2: they cared about.
5:02
Speaker 1: Doctor Conrad Murray.
5:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
5:05
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a throwback. That's Jacko's doctor, right, Yeah, yeah.
5:13
Speaker 2: I should ask her for some of the milk. Well,
5:16
Speaker 2: I had her on the zoom screen.
5:18
Speaker 1: It's right, just to help me sleep. I was thinking about,
5:22
Speaker 1: you know, going to a place like that that I
5:24
Speaker 1: thought because I'm thinking about the GLP one thing. I know,
5:28
Speaker 1: it would be better for my health in a lot
5:29
Speaker 1: of ways. And you know, it's hard to lose weight
5:31
Speaker 1: at this at this age. But I had this feeling
5:35
Speaker 1: of disappointment. Oh, I wouldn't enjoy going to a place
5:38
Speaker 1: like that and getting a nice big burger or anything.
5:41
Speaker 1: You would stomp out that enjoyment if I was on
5:43
Speaker 1: that drug.
5:44
Speaker 3: Will No, it doesn't take the craving completely away. It
5:48
Speaker 3: just you wouldn't finish the burger probably.
5:50
Speaker 1: But you get the pleasure from the eating. You just
5:54
Speaker 1: eat less of it. Yeah, you just eat less. Okay,
5:56
Speaker 1: all right, I gots to have my epicurean pleasures. Oh,
5:59
Speaker 1: I just got to.
6:00
Speaker 3: I've been on it for I smashed half of a
6:03
Speaker 3: delightful club sandwich this weekend and I have to take
6:05
Speaker 3: home later which I enjoyed later on in the day.
6:08
Speaker 2: I have never described a club sandwhich is delightful.
6:11
Speaker 1: Oh, being an old farger, I already will just you know,
6:15
Speaker 1: cut something in half and take half of it home.
6:17
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, all right, I'm back on board.
6:20
Speaker 1: Maybe I get a talk.
6:21
Speaker 2: I'll be reporting this week because I should note. I
6:23
Speaker 2: should have my first experience today. I took the injection yesterday.
6:27
Speaker 1: Oh do I want to eat?
6:29
Speaker 2: And what's it like when I eat? I can't wait
6:30
Speaker 2: to see.
6:30
Speaker 1: We should put a scale in the studio and have
6:32
Speaker 1: you weigh yourself every day? Yeah?
6:34
Speaker 2: I do weigh myself every day at home half for
6:36
Speaker 2: many many years.
6:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, and I will.
6:39
Speaker 2: We'll see what happened.
6:41
Speaker 1: So during the show today, the radio show, which of
6:43
Speaker 1: course becomes the Armstrong and Getty on demand podcast, we
6:46
Speaker 1: were talking about this fabulous Canadian writer who came up
6:50
Speaker 1: with a list of what was woke one in response
6:54
Speaker 1: to AOC's infamous recent quote.
6:57
Speaker 2: Woke one was crazy.
7:00
Speaker 1: And she laughed at h oh, even though I was
7:02
Speaker 1: the one pushing it, and then everybody and I would
7:05
Speaker 1: punish you and ruin your career if you didn't go
7:07
Speaker 1: along with it, but let's not worry about it. And
7:10
Speaker 1: we went through a big chunk of his list of
7:14
Speaker 1: what was woke And I'm going to go through the
7:16
Speaker 1: first part really quickly because we covered it already. But
7:19
Speaker 1: it's all significant major publications that were posting these articles
7:23
Speaker 1: and opinion pieces and stuff. So I'll zoom through the
7:26
Speaker 1: first part and then we'll get onto the stuff we
7:27
Speaker 1: didn't touch on because it's worth it. Let's see that
7:32
Speaker 1: woke was believing black people are so mentally weak and
7:34
Speaker 1: inferior that activist pressured companies to stop accurately describing the products.
7:39
Speaker 1: Was lorial removing words like whitening from all their skincare products.
7:43
Speaker 2: I can't believe that even happened.
7:45
Speaker 1: Universities published Surviving Whiteness and White People guides for their students.
7:51
Speaker 1: Professors saying when is it okay to kill whites and
7:55
Speaker 1: then saying his white genocide tweet has the university support
7:59
Speaker 1: canceling modes. Mozart, a museum curator, was forced out in
8:03
Speaker 1: San Francisco after saying yes, I will still collect art
8:06
Speaker 1: from white men. Remember he was forced out for that.
8:10
Speaker 1: A transgender musician played the keyboard with her penis on
8:14
Speaker 1: TV on the BBC and the Uh the Daily Mail
8:19
Speaker 1: just reported her penis okay to.
8:23
Speaker 2: Be a pretty simplistic song.
8:25
Speaker 1: Well, it depends, Uh, it depends. A lot of the
8:28
Speaker 1: best rifts or rifts are simple. Uh. Let's see declaring
8:32
Speaker 1: Paw Patrol and Thomas.
8:34
Speaker 2: Dong Dong Dong Dong dung dong.
8:38
Speaker 1: You gotta say tong, you know, like like the uh
8:44
Speaker 1: like I just happened to hear the cures not Friday
8:49
Speaker 1: Am in love? Uh, what's the one.
8:52
Speaker 2: Do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
8:55
Speaker 2: Do Do Do Do do do?
8:58
Speaker 1: Uh? That was a uh, what's the what the hell's
9:01
Speaker 1: the name of that song? Just like heavn M. You
9:05
Speaker 1: could play that riff with your deck.
9:07
Speaker 2: It's crank crank crank, crank crank crank.
9:10
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, no, that's not helping.
9:12
Speaker 2: Uh.
9:12
Speaker 1: Anyway, back to the list declaring Paul Patrol and oh,
9:17
Speaker 1: for God's sake, declaring Paw Patrol and Thomas the tank
9:21
Speaker 1: engine fascist. That was woke one. Uh, capitalizing black but
9:26
Speaker 1: not capitalizing white because whites are soulless zombies. Let's see
9:31
Speaker 1: complaining about fast food, telling a three year old boy
9:34
Speaker 1: to transition from jack to Jackie in the major media,
9:37
Speaker 1: or a sixteen year old boy claiming, uh, white people
9:41
Speaker 1: are killing minorities because they have to breathe in pollution,
9:45
Speaker 1: putting rapists male rapists in women's prisons, then insisting that
9:50
Speaker 1: the victims refer to the rapist as she and her
9:54
Speaker 1: at the trial in California. No, woke was telling white
9:59
Speaker 1: people they're racist if they're attracted to black people, and
10:02
Speaker 1: wok was telling white people the racist if they're not
10:04
Speaker 1: attracted to black people. Let's see, woke was telling black
10:09
Speaker 1: people are too dumb to excel in maths, so we
10:11
Speaker 1: need to change you mass standards for them.
10:13
Speaker 2: That other one about attracted or not attracted. That's the
10:15
Speaker 2: heart of the whole anti racist nonsense. That's so much
10:19
Speaker 2: of the intelligent you have bought in there for a while.
10:23
Speaker 2: Saying you're not racist is proof that you're racist.
10:26
Speaker 1: Okay, right here we go, right, But saying you are
10:31
Speaker 1: racist is also proof that you're racist, of.
10:33
Speaker 2: Course, because you just stated you're a racist. But exactly
10:36
Speaker 2: saying you're not racist is proof the.
10:39
Speaker 1: Well, that's even better proof. So you can't win, so
10:41
Speaker 1: shut up. We have taken over your institution.
10:44
Speaker 2: It's as simple as that.
10:45
Speaker 1: It's the new Marxist technique anyway. Also, orchestras shouldn't be
10:50
Speaker 1: color blind any more. Dogs are racist. Coronavirus was racist.
10:55
Speaker 1: Let's see racist women. Women have always been part of
10:58
Speaker 1: white supremacy. Tomboys the racist history of celebrating American tomboys.
11:03
Speaker 1: The following things are also racists. Jesus chess golf tournaments,
11:07
Speaker 1: cow's milk, Lord of the Rings, cereal boxes, soap talking,
11:11
Speaker 1: while white reaction memes with black people in them, peanut
11:14
Speaker 1: butter and jelly sand, which is jogging, interior design, surfing,
11:20
Speaker 1: the Smurfs, Mary Poppins, classical music, Earthquake signs soap pretty much,
11:27
Speaker 1: and then he gets into the part that we didn't
11:29
Speaker 1: cover on the air. Pretty much. The only thing in
11:32
Speaker 1: the world that isn't racist is vegans. Just kidding, of
11:34
Speaker 1: course vegans are racist. From Vice. Why so many white
11:38
Speaker 1: supremacists are into veganism? From Hitler to present day national
11:42
Speaker 1: socialists with YouTube cooking channels, the far rights anti media
11:45
Speaker 1: ideology runs surprisingly deep. That's right. When I meet a vegan,
11:49
Speaker 1: they're usually a right winger.
11:51
Speaker 2: That's right, almost always God, they're all over Trader Joe's.
11:57
Speaker 1: You might think, well, with all this racism out there,
11:59
Speaker 1: I should extra hard not to be racist. Bad news, friends,
12:02
Speaker 1: trying too hard not to be racist is racist. And
12:05
Speaker 1: here's an article from prominent website. Sorry, white people, trying
12:08
Speaker 1: too hard not to be racist is low key kind
12:10
Speaker 1: of racist. Then woke was when a breakfast company analogized
12:15
Speaker 1: for hiring a black woman is the face of their
12:17
Speaker 1: brand for the purpose of forward progress on racial equality.
12:21
Speaker 1: Uh woke? Oh oh, I'm sorry. The apologized for hiring
12:25
Speaker 1: a black woman is the face of their brand. Woke
12:27
Speaker 1: did not explain exactly how this move makes any progress
12:30
Speaker 1: toward racial equality. That's when the Aunt Jemima brand changed
12:34
Speaker 1: their name and removed the image of Aunt Jemima based
12:36
Speaker 1: on a racial stereotype.
12:37
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, but.
12:40
Speaker 1: Nobody explained how that advanced anything.
12:42
Speaker 2: They replaced her with like a modern black woman.
12:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that wasn't no, they chucked her because she
12:49
Speaker 1: was black. Oh, just the name. Yeah, I think they
12:54
Speaker 1: bought her back was a win. A rice company also
12:57
Speaker 1: decided they did not want black people on their packaging
13:00
Speaker 1: Uncle Pan's Rice, so they removed the beloved black face
13:02
Speaker 1: of the brand. They did this so no more black
13:04
Speaker 1: people would be killed by cops.
13:06
Speaker 2: Wolk did not.
13:07
Speaker 1: Explain how this move would affect the number of black
13:10
Speaker 1: people being killed by cops. Let's see headspan.
13:16
Speaker 2: And of course, if you're a product that only had
13:18
Speaker 2: white people on it, that would make you racist. But
13:20
Speaker 2: if you put black people on it, then you're racist, don'tkay,
13:22
Speaker 2: So you can't win.
13:25
Speaker 1: Was when woke is when you had to attend this
13:28
Speaker 1: woman's class where she would call you racist and demand
13:31
Speaker 1: you send her money for six hours in order to
13:33
Speaker 1: keep your job. Woke was in doctors advising their obese
13:37
Speaker 1: black patients. Was white supremacy, Scientific American the racist roots
13:41
Speaker 1: of fighting obesity. Oh my god. Woke was when very
13:45
Speaker 1: serious people were very concerned about the skin color of
13:47
Speaker 1: the people who made their beer. Here's from the Sociology
13:50
Speaker 1: of Diversity, Beer and racism. How beer became white, why
13:54
Speaker 1: it matters, and the movements to change it. Woke was
13:57
Speaker 1: when canceling Abraham Lincoln for the crime of check notes,
14:00
Speaker 1: freeing the slaves. Woke was the unbearable whiteness era. Here's
14:06
Speaker 1: the Sierra Clubs article the Unbearable Whiteness of hiking and
14:09
Speaker 1: how to Solve it, or from the conversation the unbearable.
14:13
Speaker 2: White Whiteness of hiking.
14:15
Speaker 1: Or the unbearable whiteness of cycling. Woke was when white
14:19
Speaker 1: people were told it was racist to be polite to
14:21
Speaker 1: black people. Here's an instruction thing I think this is
14:24
Speaker 1: from a university. Be mindful of open Oh I'm sorry,
14:27
Speaker 1: it was corporate education. Be mindful of opening up meetings
14:29
Speaker 1: and interactions with questions like how are you or how's
14:32
Speaker 1: your weekend? Recognize that by doing so you can potentially
14:36
Speaker 1: be re triggering what your black colleagues are experiencing or
14:40
Speaker 1: dismissing their experience by pretending all is normal.
14:43
Speaker 2: It's not and hasn't been for a long time. So
14:48
Speaker 2: like it was in a hiking country. Did a fair
14:51
Speaker 2: amount of hiking courseman in Canada, which is pretty white,
14:54
Speaker 2: But I don't think I saw a single Black person hiking. Now,
14:57
Speaker 2: if black people, for whatever reason aren't into hiking, is
15:00
Speaker 2: that because black people are being kept out of hiking
15:04
Speaker 2: by big racist hiking at the ink or.
15:10
Speaker 1: Big boot, big boulder. I don't know. I don't know.
15:18
Speaker 1: And he says, all this nonsense is really just scratching
15:21
Speaker 1: the surface. Seeing it all collected here in one place,
15:26
Speaker 1: it is easy to see how deeply malignant, divisive, and
15:29
Speaker 1: hateful woke was, and how dysfunctional disordered the people who
15:32
Speaker 1: pushed it on society for so long must be. It
15:35
Speaker 1: is clear that these people should never be allowed to
15:37
Speaker 1: take power. Seeing this laid out, it's no wonder racial
15:40
Speaker 1: tensions and racial divisiveness have been on the rise. It's
15:43
Speaker 1: coming from the quote anti racists. There wasn't enough actual
15:47
Speaker 1: racism in society for the far left to retain relevance
15:50
Speaker 1: or takeover institutions, I would add, so they spend decades
15:53
Speaker 1: creating as much of it as they could. So the
15:56
Speaker 1: next time someone tries to dismiss woke or laugh it
15:58
Speaker 1: off as some online cooks or maybe well mean, well
16:01
Speaker 1: meaning kindness that just went too far, don't allow them
16:04
Speaker 1: to sweep this under the rug. Only by fully realizing
16:06
Speaker 1: how grotesque and malevolent this movement and the people who
16:09
Speaker 1: pushed it was, can we ever help hope to prevent
16:11
Speaker 1: it from coming back.
16:13
Speaker 2: I actually want to read some of those articles that
16:15
Speaker 2: you mentioned. I'd like to read about the unbearable whiteness
16:18
Speaker 2: of hiking and listen to their crap arguments about it's racist.
16:24
Speaker 2: I can't imagine what it is.
16:26
Speaker 1: Well, it's the whole disparate impact thing. In a way,
16:29
Speaker 1: if you look at like a bowling alley and it's
16:31
Speaker 1: a bunch of white Wisconsinites and Chicagoans, that's proof it's
16:36
Speaker 1: it's racist. That's just proof.
16:39
Speaker 2: So the idea would be, if there aren't many white
16:41
Speaker 2: people hiking, something is being done, because that's what desperate
16:45
Speaker 2: impact means. Something is being done to discourage or keep
16:49
Speaker 2: black people from hiking.
16:50

17:04
Speaker 1: the anti racist crowds, only white people can be racist
17:09
Speaker 1: because racism is the expression of power, and the black
17:13
Speaker 1: people don't have power, so they can't be racist.
17:16
Speaker 2: Do you remember why Lord of the Rings is racist?
17:19
Speaker 1: Yeah? The orcs ah somehow because they were dark hued
17:25
Speaker 1: I guess some of them were very white looking, and
17:27
Speaker 1: well they were you know, Frankenstinian zombies orcs in the
17:34
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings show Tolkien was racist. That was
17:37
Speaker 1: from the Times of London.
17:39
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, certainly racist against orcs.
17:43
Speaker 1: And aren't we all everybody have fun tonight, everybody wang
17:48
Speaker 1: chung tonight. I'll bet I could play that.
