  We got a question for American mama. Dear Mama, is it now racist
• 0:03
  if you actually try to help people who are a different skin color than you
• 0:05
  are. Well, let's ask our American mama. Mama, Mama and Jodius.
• 0:21
  Now we're American MoMA. Terry Nettaville. I think this question is basically
• 0:25
  dealing with the Michael or in the Twey family the blind Side story, if
• 0:30
  you will. So the blind Side was a book and a movie. The
• 0:34
  Twey family out of Mississippi very rich. They had a lot of franchisees and
• 0:40
  so they're very wealthy family. But they saw this kid. He was completely
• 0:44
  neglected by his family. So they say, we're going to bring him into
• 0:47
  our family. Are gonna get him a good education, to private school child,
• 0:51
  and he eventually became good at football, got into scholarships through college and
• 0:56
  then got into the NFL when the super and a movie was made after him,
• 1:00
  Strength Senader Bullock, and he now says this family took everything from him.
• 1:10
  And the common phrase you're seeing online is white Savior complex. Yep,
• 1:17
  that's their new tagline. The media has done such an amazing job and it
• 1:22
  works way of making this a political and racial game constantly on social media.
• 1:27
  Well, Michael Orr's making it a political and racial game. You're right about
• 1:33
  that. And the problem is when he came out with this story, I
• 1:36
  think it broke a lot of hearts because we all love that movie. Right.
• 1:40
  What's happening is instead of seeing both sides of everything, the left wing
• 1:44
  media has taken this narrative to a place where it is so destructive, so
• 1:49
  divisive. They're actually labeling it, like you just said, the white complex.
• 1:55
  And then they bring about they're like, not only are they saying that
• 1:59
  this is you know, this one story proves that point, but then they
• 2:04
  start tackling other stories like the movie Dangerous, Dangerous Minds and to Kill a
• 2:10
  mocking Bird, Right, you know, Gregory Peck's character who helped save our
• 2:15
  tribe is best to save this man again going back to kill a monkey.
• 2:21
  That that timeframe, that was that was really an act of courage for the
• 2:25
  character, the character in the in the book and in the movie just stand
• 2:30
  up for a black man in the South. Well, not only that,
• 2:34
  but then to make a movie about it and have audiences receive it during that
• 2:38
  time because this is a black and white film it's one of those things that
• 2:40
  you want it to move you to where you see that side of it and
• 2:44
  you see the empathy and you go, you know what, this is wrong,
• 2:46
  what's happening, and so we need to do better. But apparently now
• 2:50
  if you think that you should or could help a black person, that makes
• 2:55
  you have white guilt and a white savior complex. Yep, the well listen
• 3:01
  to MSNBC. They were saying that not only The blind Side isn't the only
• 3:05
  film that gets it wrong, and they started naming all these other songs,
• 3:07
  and then they said the ore storage or story isn't just an indictment on the
• 3:13
  twoies, but also on movie audiences that lap up stories about white people saving
• 3:17
  some downtrodden black person or downtrodden black people. And so the media is the
• 3:22
  one that's making this about the color of someone's skin. When Leah, when
• 3:25
  Lean Twee has said before, like years ago, when they've interviewed and he
• 3:30
  was still part of the family, she said, it's not about it wasn't
• 3:32
  about his color. For me, I saw a child, I saw a
• 3:36
  child in need, a child that had been neglected, and I wanted to
• 3:39
  make things right for him. I wanted to take him in, So they
• 3:43
  took him in. They hired a tutor to not only help his grades in
• 3:46
  the private school he went to, but in college. This Miss Sue,
• 3:51
  she went to oh Miss for those four years to help him get through college,
• 3:55
  and there was a really fashionating You shared this interview with Megan Kelly and
• 4:00
  Jason Whitlock Love Him Yes, and Jason Whitlock was talking about how Michael Or's
• 4:06
  own story has now changed. When you read Michael Or's own book, he
• 4:12
  admits the things that were in the Blindside movie and in the Blindside book,
• 4:16
  and he says, yeah, I knew about the conservatorship. I knew I
• 4:19
  wasn't fully adopted, but it's just because of my age. They treated me
• 4:24
  like family. He wrote that in his book, but the media is not
• 4:27
  touching on that. Jason will you know he's a conservative. Jason's coming out
• 4:30
  and he's saying, you know, look, he's being frank. There would
• 4:35
  be no movie without Sean Twey because it was Sean Twey's childhood best friend that
• 4:43
  wrote the story the blind Side, wrote the book right, and then there
• 4:46
  would be no movie without Sean Twey's neighbor who financed the movie because Fox wouldn't
• 4:50
  do it. It would be this again comes up with Look if white person
• 4:57
  walking down the street and you see a minority minority asking for money, Now,
• 5:01
  what do you do. Do you give the money because you've got white
• 5:05
  white savior complex? Or you do you not give the money because you're a
• 5:10
  racist? Well that's one. That's what Matt Walsh tweeted about. He said,
• 5:14
  after eight years of Barack Obama, BLM riots and George Floyd funerals,
• 5:17
  we've a ride at this moral guidance. Let the black teenager on the side
• 5:20
  of the road freeze to death, don't help him, or you're a racist.
• 5:24
  And he was making that point like, so what do you want us
• 5:27
  to do. Do we look at skin color and go up? He's black,
• 5:29
  so I'm not going to save him. I'm not going to help him
• 5:31
  because I don't want it to come back on me. Or do we want
• 5:33
  to look at each other as human beings and just help somebody in need?
• 5:38
  Like Leanne said, my heart does break through the twoies because they truly genuinely
• 5:41
  love this kid. He's thirty seven, so he's not a kid anymore.
• 5:44
  My heart breaks for him, and my heart breaks for him. Yes,
• 5:46
  there's something not right, something has and it makes me because he's got eleven
• 5:50
  siblings and he has a mom that's recovering. I don't even know she's she
• 5:55
  was a crack addict who's never told him she loved him. I know it's
• 5:58
  the saddest story. I wish the media just give both sides and stop making
• 6:00
  about race. If you'd like to ask our American Mama question, good to
