I Don't Believe in Racism, Transphobia, Islamophobia, Feminism By Brett Keane · Brett Keane and Eve Show

• 0:21
  I have a vision that I need your assistance, darling.
• 0:28
  I see. A future of perfection, sinners
• 0:31
  and shining. I'm inviting you to taste how it
• 0:38
  could, because I know it's been so long and together we can face
• 0:43
  the enemy. Then you'll see you.
• 0:46
  Are so wrong. I'll show you where to begin.
• 0:52
  Play all your riches and skills at the moment of the godly
• 0:57
  cross. Well, hello, ladies and
• 1:03
  gentlemen. My name is Brett Keene and you
• 1:06
  are watching the Brett Keene Show.
• 1:08
  I hope you're all doing well today.
• 1:10
  I watched a video by Michael Knowles called Is America
• 1:15
  Racist. Today we're going to talk about
• 1:17
  racism. We're going to talk about
• 1:19
  transphobia. We're going to talk about
• 1:21
  Islamophobia. We're going to talk about all
• 1:25
  the phobias all the way down the line, and we're going to try to
• 1:31
  figure out what is the root and the source of these issues that
• 1:35
  people keep bringing up incessantly over and over and
• 1:41
  over. And we're also going to point
• 1:44
  out that no one ever actually comes up with a solution.
• 1:48
  I just noticed that people write a lot of books and they profit
• 1:52
  off of it, but nobody actually comes up with an answer to solve
• 1:57
  it. And one other thing I noticed
• 2:00
  too is nobody just directly comes right out and says what
• 2:03
  the problem is. Why is it that there are people
• 2:06
  who are what you would call transphobic, Islamophobic,
• 2:10
  racist and all this? But before we get into that, let
• 2:14
  me ask you guys a simple question.
• 2:17
  What if someone is transphobic? What if someone is racist?
• 2:22
  What if someone doesn't like a certain religion or doesn't like
• 2:26
  the behaviors from it? Are they obligated to go along
• 2:30
  with it because politicians say so?
• 2:33
  Are we obligated to like people or put up with people just
• 2:37
  because some asshole we don't even know is sitting on
• 2:42
  television telling us that that's the way we got to do?
• 2:46
  If you think about it, it's television that causes the
• 2:50
  problem in the 1st place. It's the media.
• 2:52
  The media shows us all kinds of bad stuff going on.
• 2:56
  And then whenever we get paranoid and frightened and we
• 2:59
  get anxiety, whenever we run into specific or certain type of
• 3:04
  people that we've been watching on TV, we are the bad guy for
• 3:10
  not wanting to be around the very people that get bad PR all
• 3:14
  the time. Let me give you an example of
• 3:17
  something. This is one of the reasons why I
• 3:20
  don't want to go hang out with transgenders, ladies and
• 3:23
  gentlemen. I didn't wake up one day and
• 3:25
  just simply say I hate, you know, transgenders.
• 3:30
  I didn't ever like, build myself up to hating a group of people
• 3:35
  or anything like that. In fact, I don't hate them, but
• 3:38
  I am a bit frightened. They caused me anxiety.
• 3:42
  Let me show you an example, ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:50
  My choice, My choice, my. Choice.
• 3:55
  My choice. My choice.
• 3:59
  Have any words prepared today? I just want you to feel our
• 4:06
  pain. I don't know if you can at this
• 4:08
  point, based off your policy choices,
• 4:25
  talking to us. I hate what you're doing to us.
• 4:28
  I hate. You So my question is also about
• 4:33
  trans people, because it's specifically about trans people
• 4:38
  competing in sports, because I think everyone here can agree we
• 4:40
  need to protect women's sports, so.
• 4:47
  Recently in Texas there was a boy who won the girls wrestling
• 4:51
  state championship. Do you think that he should have
• 4:54
  been allowed to compete in that division?
• 4:57
  I think that a man taking down a woman on a map should warrant a
• 5:01
  call to the police. Wonderful.
• 5:03
  And should not of course be considered a sport because he he
• 5:08
  was actually born female and forced to compete in that
• 5:10
  division despite being on it. I am so open to transgender
• 5:15
  people. Like if you want, if they want
• 5:16
  to have their own division. Go for it.
• 5:18
  I literally, in fact, I would love to watch it.
• 5:21
  I actually would love to watch it.
• 5:23
  If you are opting in as a man, as a woman, to having a man take
• 5:28
  you down on a map, on a map, that is totally fine for me.
• 5:30
  But what is unacceptable is that we have these divisions.
• 5:33
  This is for women, this is for men, and you have people that
• 5:37
  are allowing men to compete in these women's divisions and to
• 5:40
  obviously dominate because going back to biology.
• 5:43
  Men, of course, are stronger than women.
• 5:45
  They are always going to be stronger and faster than women.
• 5:47
  It's like how Leah Thomas went from getting second place in a
• 5:50
  race as a man to winning the race.
• 5:53
  Yeah, it's it's completely unacceptable and it's
• 5:55
  fraudulent. And the people going from 2nd to
• 5:57
  1st does not happen naturally. And so I I think I sorry, I
• 6:01
  don't what going from he Thomas, the swimmer who came in second
• 6:04
  place. Oh, as a man.
• 6:06
  That's right. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:07
  And then he just switched his gender and suddenly was
• 6:09
  dominating. Went from 2nd to 1st as someone
• 6:12
  who competed. In athletics and college, in
• 6:14
  high school myself, no one ever goes from 2nd place to 1st
• 6:17
  place. Personally, I think because
• 6:19
  you're a man, you shouldn't have any okay.
• 6:22
  Because I'm a man, I'm not affected by abortion.
• 6:24
  I should have opinion on it pretty much okay.
• 6:27
  Are you affected in any way by the Holocaust?
• 6:28
  Not personally, I'm not. I think the Holocaust is bad.
• 6:32
  I do. So you have an opinion on
• 6:34
  something that doesn't directly affect you, right?
• 6:36
  The definition of feminism across the board is the social,
• 6:39
  political, and economic equality of the sexes.
• 6:41
  Yes. Why are we only talking about
• 6:43
  the female inequalities? Why aren't we talking about the
• 6:45
  male inequality? We do not have the same
• 6:47
  experience. We do not.
• 6:49
  You are not oppressed in the same ways that I am.
• 6:51
  No. And I'm sure you're not
• 6:53
  oppressed in the same ways that I am.
• 6:54
  You need to acknowledge your privilege first.
• 6:57
  If people could hear that about themselves.
• 7:00
  And not be defensive. I think that we could probably
• 7:03
  push the needle forward a lot faster.
• 7:07
  As a woman. I'm not sure that I'm concerned
• 7:10
  whether or not you want to join as a man.
• 7:13
  Is that not part of the issue? But that's segregating gender.
• 7:16
  That's that's segregating genders.
• 7:18
  If you're saying that you don't care about my opinion as a man,
• 7:21
  that goes into everything. I don't care about reshaping and
• 7:25
  forming my feminism in a way that.
• 7:28
  Is digestible for you as a man. At this point, I've come to the
• 7:33
  conclusion that feminists just say a bunch of nothing.
• 7:36
  She just rambled on. A bunch of nothing.
• 7:39
  You're not oppressed in the way that I am.
• 7:41
  His reply? Well, you're not oppressed in
• 7:43
  the way I am. Her response?
• 7:44
  Well, you need to check your privilege.
• 7:46
  Really. Who?
• 7:47
  Identify as black? No, it's a serious question
• 7:52
  because you might not identify when I.
• 7:54
  Walked into when I walked into the room.
• 7:56
  I am not done with my question. Oh, oh, oh, young lady.
• 8:01
  I'm just asking you to listen to me and and I'm about to.
• 8:04
  Answer your first question, but I didn't.
• 8:05
  I didn't finish my question. OK, yeah, I'm black so.
• 8:10
  I know if. If I'm a woman, Yeah, Matt, that
• 8:13
  question right there. Like that question is like.
• 8:18
  When it's asked with a lot of curiosity, right?
• 8:20
  That's the beginning of a lot of people 's like.
• 8:23
  Gender identity development journeys if my Mama gave birth
• 8:26
  to me is. I'm a woman and.
• 8:30
  My wife is alone, though I haven't asked her.
• 8:34
  Maybe I should, but if they're. All women and also the boy who.
• 8:39
  Sits down with you. And says.
• 8:39
  I think I'm a girl, actually. Is 1 Then what is a woman?
• 8:49
  Great question. I'm not a woman, but.
• 8:50
  I I can't really answer that. I won't continue screaming.
• 8:55
  Would you like that? I'm actually finding it.
• 8:58
  Really, really relaxing. Well, why don't you explain to
• 9:01
  me why what I'm doing is wrong? Go all right so I could go on.
• 9:15
  The video isn't even halfway done.
• 9:17
  It's a compilation of transgender screaming on top of
• 9:21
  their lungs, saying really ignorant stuff.
• 9:24
  And then it's also mixed with a bunch of feminists who are
• 9:28
  saying that their pain is valuable and important.
• 9:32
  But a man's opinion, a man's views, and the pain that men go
• 9:36
  through, It doesn't matter. I mean, seriously, ladies and
• 9:42
  gentlemen, what are you supposed to think about that?
• 9:44
  You got someone who says because you are a man, because you have
• 9:48
  genitals, Nothing that you say, nothing that you feel is
• 9:52
  important, but you're expected to sit through their big ass
• 9:56
  rhetoric, rant and nonsense. How can anyone with a rational,
• 10:02
  logical mind expect me as a man to actually give a rat's ass
• 10:07
  what people like this think? If you're going to look me right
• 10:10
  in the eye and tell me that nothing I say or nothing I feel
• 10:14
  matters, only yours, and that I'm actually obligated to sit
• 10:21
  there and put up with your bullshit, you know, it's like I
• 10:26
  where did I? Don't know if it's mental
• 10:30
  illness or what, but my usual response to that is you get a
• 10:34
  middle finger like Stone Cold Steve Austin and the ring.
• 10:39
  When you do that to me, I'm like, yeah, get the hell away
• 10:43
  from me. I'm not even listening anymore.
• 10:48
  And then on top of it, what about Islamophobia?
• 10:52
  What about that kind of shit? Well, if you remember, ladies
• 10:56
  and gentlemen, it was the mainstream media that every
• 10:59
  single day keeps telling us that Muslims are going to come into
• 11:03
  the country and blow shit up. That they have cells all over
• 11:07
  the place, that Muslims do terrorist acts.
• 11:12
  They talk about decapitation of babies constantly.
• 11:16
  It's the media who puts all this on you.
• 11:19
  And then our politicians turn around and say, oh, if something
• 11:23
  happens to get destroyed or something happens to get blown
• 11:26
  up or, you know, something goes wrong in society due to a
• 11:31
  specific religion or group, then I'm supposed to somehow not be
• 11:37
  worried about that or be anxious about it.
• 11:40
  If there's people out there who are suicide bombers and I'm on a
• 11:46
  subway train, I don't have a right to be scared or afraid or
• 11:51
  try to get away from someone that I might think could be a
• 11:54
  potential danger to my life. I'm just supposed to sit there
• 11:58
  and put up with that or I'm the bad guy.
• 12:01
  Yeah, you do understand that if I were to get shot or blown away
• 12:06
  or somebody were to kill me, no matter what color they are,
• 12:09
  group, my family is not going to get taken care of.
• 12:12
  Nobody's going to go, oh, that's terrible, you know, and take
• 12:18
  care of my wife's bills as well as my children.
• 12:22
  So where is the obligation? Why do people think that it's
• 12:26
  going to be like that? And then as far as racism, every
• 12:33
  time you turn on the news, you see people of different colors
• 12:36
  and stuff, including white people who are killing, are
• 12:40
  running from cops or doing something ridiculous.
• 12:44
  The media makes sure that everything that a group does or
• 12:49
  anybody, they make sure they get as much views and ratings and
• 12:53
  dramatize it as much as they possibly can.
• 12:56
  So people are watching this, and then they're told in another
• 13:01
  video, oh, you know, you're a racist and that makes you bad or
• 13:06
  whatever, and you're racist. You got to remember, ladies and
• 13:09
  gentlemen, simply for not wanting to be around certain
• 13:12
  groups or interact with them. And usually it's not because
• 13:17
  you're racist. It's because you're a logical,
• 13:19
  rational, thinking person. You just don't want to be around
• 13:23
  people who are violent. How many of you out there would
• 13:29
  you call it ignorant or evil if you were to say I don't want to
• 13:34
  hang out in a mental institute with a bunch of psychopaths?
• 13:38
  If you were to ask me, say, hey Brett, would you like to learn
• 13:43
  more about mentally ill people? Would you like to spend like a
• 13:46
  couple weeks with them in an institution or hospital?
• 13:50
  I'd say no. It's not because I hate the
• 13:53
  mentally ill. It's because I don't want to get
• 13:55
  stabbed in the fucking neck. I don't want to have a bunch of
• 13:59
  people give me a black soap party in a fucking hospital.
• 14:03
  Do you understand? It's not a it's not a matter
• 14:08
  where you go. Oh, I I just hate, you know,
• 14:11
  mentally ill people or something like that.
• 14:15
  So basically what I'm trying to tell you, ladies and gentlemen,
• 14:18
  is I think that one of the reasons why people don't want to
• 14:23
  be or don't want to date transgenders, or the reason why
• 14:28
  some people don't want to hang out with certain groups of
• 14:30
  people or interact with them. And this goes vice versa.
• 14:34
  Ladies and gentlemen, there's plenty of people of color who
• 14:38
  don't want to be in the same room with white people.
• 14:43
  Where is it written, ladies and gentlemen, that people should be
• 14:47
  forced to put up with other people?
• 14:49
  That's my question. I think that there's plenty of
• 14:54
  folks on all different sides of the aisle that you can get along
• 14:59
  with and you can become really good friends with.
• 15:01
  But I think that we should judge based upon a person's character
• 15:06
  and not try to make it like some kind of surface issue.
• 15:10
  It's really easy for someone to say, It's really easy for
• 15:14
  someone to play the victim and say, oh, the reason I don't have
• 15:17
  any friends is because I'm obese.
• 15:20
  I don't have any friends because people think I'm ugly, or people
• 15:24
  don't like me or want to be around me because I'm a certain
• 15:27
  color or because I identify with a certain thing.
• 15:30
  No, the truth is, ladies and gentlemen, and this is going to
• 15:35
  hurt a lot of feelings. The reason why a lot of
• 15:40
  families, especially parents of transgenders, have issue it's
• 15:44
  not because they hate their daughters and sons.
• 15:47
  It's because they do not enjoy having people like what you see
• 15:51
  on the screen related to them screaming in their fucking ear
• 15:56
  and then telling them that their feelings are not important.
• 16:00
  And that the person's going to do whatever they want while at
• 16:03
  the same time expecting you to pay their bills, pay for their
• 16:08
  education, pay for everything for them, but they expect you to
• 16:13
  basically be their fucking mule. That's the problem.
• 16:18
  It's more of AI don't want to be around stupid as opposed to
• 16:23
  whatever it is that you're claiming.
• 16:26
  See, it's easy to do that. I noticed a lot of people who
• 16:29
  claim to be victims, they don't like to admit that they bully
• 16:34
  people, that they're controlling, that they're
• 16:36
  manipulative, and most of the time many of them are
• 16:39
  narcissistic. A lot of people have this weird
• 16:43
  idea that in order for a person to be narcissistic, they have to
• 16:48
  look like Tom Cruise or they have to look really, really
• 16:51
  attractive. There's some people out there
• 16:53
  who are ugly as can be, but they think that they're God's gift to
• 16:58
  the world. They think that the greatest
• 17:00
  thing that ever walked the earth, they actually believe
• 17:03
  that they shit ice cream and that fucking rainbows form in
• 17:07
  the sky when they walk down the sidewalk.
• 17:09
  There's people out there that actually act like that, and they
• 17:13
  don't know how to socially have a conversation.
• 17:16
  They don't know how to socially interact with people, and it's
• 17:19
  as if they go out of their way to try to make people feel as
• 17:23
  uncomfortable, unwanted, and unloved as fucking possible.
• 17:27
  And their justification for that is, well, I don't feel loved.
• 17:32
  I don't feel like I get everything I want.
• 17:35
  So I'm going to make you miserable and make you feel like
• 17:38
  shit so you can see how I feel. Well, listen here.
• 17:43
  Messy. I don't even know who the fuck
• 17:45
  you are. If you want to talk to me about
• 17:47
  your pain, then talk about your pain.
• 17:49
  But don't start the conversation telling me I'm a Dick with when
• 17:53
  you don't even know who I am. Don't assume because I'm white
• 17:58
  that I'm going to be a fucking corporate hustler or something
• 18:02
  that's privileged and all this shit.
• 18:06
  Privileged. Have you heard this shit, ladies
• 18:08
  and gentlemen? You're privileged because you're
• 18:11
  white. Are you fucking kidding me?
• 18:14
  There's people out there of all different colors and races and
• 18:17
  religion that are doing a hell of a lot better than I could
• 18:21
  ever fucking imagine for myself. And I'm being told by these rich
• 18:26
  fucking people that oh, because I'm white, I have like bigger
• 18:31
  opportunities. Really.
• 18:33
  Are you kidding me? They don't call me one of the
• 18:36
  most hated motherfuckers on the Internet for nothing, ladies and
• 18:39
  gentlemen. And I think, you know, just to
• 18:43
  answer a question, and I'm not playing victim.
• 18:46
  I actually feel like I've earned a lot of the awesomeness and the
• 18:50
  labels and titles that I've been given is, I understand, one of
• 18:56
  the reasons why a lot of people get pissed off at me.
• 18:59
  It's because I don't fuck around.
• 19:01
  I tell you like it is. I tell you the reality is shit.
• 19:06
  And there's a lot of people who don't like reality.
• 19:09
  They don't like it when someone comes along and lays fucking
• 19:13
  facts down on the table. That can get people very angry,
• 19:17
  especially whenever the facts don't correlate with the
• 19:21
  bullshit opinion that they have. You understand?
• 19:26
  So I get that. I get that.
• 19:29
  That's one of the it's one of my strengths as well as my
• 19:32
  weaknesses. According to my wife, one of the
• 19:35
  reasons that she loves me and she's married to me is because
• 19:38
  I've always been straight up and honest about what I want, what
• 19:42
  I'm looking for in life, what I expect, my part from my partner.
• 19:48
  There's no, like, bullshit. You know exactly what you get
• 19:53
  and what you're doing whenever you're with Brett Keene, whether
• 19:56
  you're my friend or my companion.
• 20:01
  So I don't think that there I don't really believe that
• 20:05
  there's an actual racism thing in the world.
• 20:08
  I mean, if you wanted to really get down to the nitty gritty and
• 20:11
  go to the root of the problem, you have to ask yourself why Is
• 20:16
  it OK for, let's say, for example, a black person to call
• 20:21
  a white person hunky right out in public?
• 20:24
  Why is it OK for you to publicly say what you assume by white
• 20:30
  people whenever you have not met them all?
• 20:32
  It seems perfectly OK to get on television and shit, talk the
• 20:37
  white race as much as you possibly can, and there's
• 20:42
  absolutely no consequences for it.
• 20:44
  And nobody even thinks it's immoral.
• 20:46
  In fact, people have told themselves that it's the right
• 20:50
  thing to do and the good thing to do to put the white man or
• 20:54
  the woman in her fucking place, depending on what color you are.
• 20:59
  Of course, if it's vice versa, then you're a Hitler, you're a
• 21:03
  Nazi, You're all the bullshit. You know another thing?
• 21:12
  It doesn't go over my head that because I'm making this video,
• 21:18
  this could actually, because I'm having this opinion and because
• 21:22
  of my color, that this video could possibly be considered
• 21:26
  hatred. But if it's a black man or a
• 21:29
  Latino or a Muslim or a transgender who's saying all
• 21:35
  this shit towards me or towards other people that may look like
• 21:40
  me, it's perfectly fine. It's justified.
• 21:43
  It's even considered heroic to stand up against the man.
• 21:48
  But if it's vice versa, because a YouTube or someone working for
• 21:55
  one of these corporations sees that it's a white guy saying the
• 21:58
  stuff, where does my privilege go?
• 22:03
  You see what I mean? You get my point.
• 22:09
  So what do you guys thoughts? Do you think it's a big game?
• 22:12
  Do you think it's just a way for corporations of profit?
• 22:15
  Because it seems to me, I grew up in Saint Louis and I live in
• 22:19
  the country now and I get along with everybody and anybody
• 22:23
  providing that. They don't make me uncomfortable
• 22:26
  or cause me any anxiety. If someone's cool, then I'm cool
• 22:31
  back. It's that simple.
• 22:32
  That's how it all works. You want a solution to all the
• 22:35
  fucking problems of the world. If you're a transgender and you
• 22:39
  don't plan on screaming 3 feet from my fucking face, if you are
• 22:44
  a person who's not out carjacking or stealing or
• 22:47
  robbing fucking malls and shit like that, then I possibly would
• 22:51
  want to hang out with you. You see what I mean?
• 22:55
  As long as you're not some destructive criminal like
• 22:58
  thinking person or narcissistic, I'd love to hang out with you
• 23:03
  and break bread. You see what I mean?
• 23:07
  So I don't think it really is about color.
• 23:10
  I don't think it's religion. I don't think it's any of that.
• 23:15
  I think it's about your fucking behavior that turns people off.
• 23:21
  If you're watching this video right now and you hear me saying
• 23:24
  the word you, you you over and over again, or they, it's
• 23:29
  because I'm trying to be respectful of pronouns.
• 23:34
  All right? If you feel like I'm talking
• 23:37
  directly to you, then you might want to reflect on why it is
• 23:41
  that that's actually happening. But in the end, ladies and
• 23:46
  gentlemen, I'll finish it with this.
• 23:49
  A lot of these people who play victim, they don't seem to give
• 23:53
  a rat's ass about anybody else's problems or issues.
• 23:57
  And in the end, it just seems as though they say the things they
• 24:00
  do and do what they do simply for attention.
• 24:05
  Woe is me, and they don't want any answers, They don't want any
• 24:11
  solution, and they definitely don't want to hear why you have
• 24:14
  a problem. So if that's the case, then
• 24:18
  don't be surprised when I walk the fuck away from you when I
• 24:22
  see you coming.
