- 0:03So this is another woke lunatic. I think they're just scam artists. I
- 0:07think they're just scammers. They're hustlers. These people, let's take a look.
- 0:11As a racial justice advocate, I'm often invited to give talks or to
- 0:14do workshops where I talk to white people about race. A big part of
- 0:17my practice is to offer real life stories, examples, that type of thing
- 0:21that help white people to be able to identify white supremacy in everyday life.
- 0:24My husband's family is white, and I often use the cultural differences between my
- 0:28family and his family as a way to help white people see their whiteness.
- 0:32There's one example that I use that always gets a ton of pushback. My
- 0:35husband and I were late to our first Thanksgiving with his family. I say
- 0:39late because it started at twelve. We got there at twelve ten. But
- 0:42whenever we got there at twelve ten, everybody was already sat down and eating.
- 0:46I didn't know that. I used this illustration to point out that different
- 0:49cultures have different understandings of time, lateness, and what it means to be
- 0:52polite. No, they don't, white person, No they fucking don't.
- 0:56That's retarded. There's that word retarded. Again, no, they don't.
- 1:00People all over the world have the same understanding of time. When you have
- 1:03a meeting set, you show up at that time. Otherwise people get upset
- 1:08because you're wasting their time. This is everywhere. It's like they think that
- 1:15merit, like the idea of merit. White people invented that. Of course
- 1:19not. That is the most racist thing I've ever heard. I mean,
- 1:23how offensive is that to any other culture in the world. White people invented
- 1:29merit. White people invented the concept of time. This is bizarre. How
- 1:34is this not incredibly offensive? Isn't that what like a klansman would say.
- 1:40Isn't that what an actual white supremacist would say. It's so bizarre. Everything
- 1:46is just a mirror. It's like they're screaming into a mirror and they don't
- 1:48recognize themselves. It's fucking crazy. So we'll push back and say that lateness
- 1:53is impolite. I always use this as a teachable moment. I usually ask
- 1:57a series of pointed questions that challenge their assumptions. Sometimes it takes a lot
- 2:00of work, but by the end they're able to identify how white cultural dominance.
- 2:04By the end, they're just sick of fucking listening to you, is
- 2:06what's going on works in this one small area of life, which opens the
- 2:09door for them to start feeling the onion As a racial justice advocate. I'm
- 2:14off an inviting lord. I'll bet you anything that if she walks into a
- 2:17restaurant and she's sat there for half an hour without a menu yet, I'm
- 2:22betting she internalizes some of that white supremacy in a real hurry. I bet
- 2:27she becomes a white supremacist real fast. It's just bizarre lunacy. And what
- 2:31would this what would be the effect of this of everybody just deciding, well,
- 2:35it's white supremacists to show up on time. You know, it's a
- 2:38white supremacist for the surgeon to show up on time. Oh, that's just
- 2:43what that's white culture, and that's bad. So I just show up when
- 2:46I want. I'll bet if a pipe burst and and a plumber says he's
- 2:50going to be there to be there and he doesn't show up, I bet
- 2:53she internalizes some white supremacy real quick from that too. I'll bet you there's
- 2:58a bunch of situations where people wasting her fucking time and she internalizes a bunch
- 3:02of that white supremacy because that's normal, that's human, that happens to every
- 3:07single person in the world. What a bizarre fantasy land these people live in.
- 3:14I think what it is. It's just simply an excuse to be an
- 3:19idiot and be an asshole all the time. It's a way to blame everybody
- 3:23else for your own failures. It reminds me of this game that my youngest
- 3:30son back when he was like five. He created this game and it was
- 3:35diabolical because he changed the rules, every single roll of the dice to benefit
- 3:40himself. That's what this is. This is a child rigging, a child's
- 3:46game. You could never be responsible for anything that you do because it's always,
- 3:51somehow a teachable moment to teach people that they're wrong because they're the wrong
- 3:59color right, and everything they do is wrong unless they're doing it, in
- 4:02which case it's right because it's them and they can ever be wrong because identity
- 4:09bullshit. I'm wondering if I have more rant in me after three hours and
- 4:14forty five minutes. But it's fucking maddening, isn't it. It's maddening.
- 4:17It's so transparent. What the motivation is here? How manipulative. This is
- 4:24again they don't use language. The modern left doesn't use language to communicate,
- 4:28They use it to manipulate. Obviously, it's so transparent here. What kind
- 4:32of an idiot can't see it? What kind of a fool would allow themselves
- 4:38to be lectured by this person, by this scam artist, by this con
- 4:44artist. I mean, are people really that afraid anymore of being called an
- 4:47ist for just being a normal person? What portion of the population has a
- 4:53spell broken? For? The spell doesn't work on the magic spell of calling
- 4:57you the magic word, the ist or the phobe, you know, the
- 5:02magic spell that's supposed to shroud your mind in confusion and fear so that you'll
- 5:09just, you know, sit down and shut up and do as you're told.
- 5:13That spell is broken. Apparently there are still some people pathetic and cowardly
- 5:19enough for it to still work on I guess
