  Speaker 1: We've got a question for our American Mamas. Dear Mamas,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: are you proud to be white?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American Mamas.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And joining us now, our American mama, Terry Netterville. I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: don't know, you're not as white as I am. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, blonde hair, blue eyes. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you're pretty darn white. So you proud of that?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Of course. Okay. I mean, I think it'd be pretty
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: sad not to be proud of myself for being born,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: who I was, to whom I was born to, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to have the skin color. I'm proud of my family.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm proud. I'm proud to be a white person.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why people feel cautious to say that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that. Just like there's nothing wrong
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to be proud to be black. And there's nothing wrong
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: with proud to be Mexican and Chinese and whatever. You
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: should be very proud of who you are, your race.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: There's so many good things that came from your race.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Good people of your all races.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: It's a great history.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So there is this video going around and it shows
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: an interviewer interviewing people and saying, hey, are you proud
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to be black? And yeah, absolutely proud to be black.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Are you proud to be Asian?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Are you proud to be Hispanic?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Are you proud to be white?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: No. Right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: No. And it's interesting, multiple people that he interviewed, white,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: not proud to be white.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: They didn't want to say they were proud.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: They were afraid to say that they were proud to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: be white.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But it's okay to be proud to be everything else.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Everything else. Yeah, for sure. It makes me think that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: they have done, whoever they are, have done a bang-up job.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Even white journalists will say, you know, they're white apologists.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: That when we went through all that stuff, the... Oh, gosh.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It was very.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Well, all the Democrats that put on these scarves and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the contagion or whatever, the kneeling in the Hall of Statues.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It's so ridiculous. It's so virtuosic.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. Yeah.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It's just... All of it's just not even real. It's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: just play acting to get votes. But... But I think
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the white race, especially white men, have been so vilified,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: pushed down, oppressed. All the things. Don't admit that you're proud.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: That white kids, these are college kids. I saw the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: same video. They're afraid to say they're proud to be white.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: That maybe somehow if they say they're not, then they'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: be accepted into this group. No, look around at all
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of your other counterparts. And see how proud they are.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: The black women and men were like, of course I'm
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: proud to be black. Very proud. The Latinos, yes, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: am very proud. And the Asians, of course, I'm so
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: proud to be Asian. And all the whites were like
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: looking around like, uh, what do I say? You say, yes,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you are very proud to be white. We had forefathers
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: too that came and did great things. Just like every race,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you have the good ones and the bad ones. We
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: learn from the bad ones. We learn from the good ones.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But to feel like that in a group that you should,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: in order to be accepted by the others, be ashamed
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to be your own race.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: That is so sad. It's wrong. And it's laughable to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: me because I'm thinking there's no way anybody could make
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: me not be proud to be my color.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You know, and I have a little bit of a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: different take on it. I agree that I should not
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: be ashamed of my skin color. And I don't think
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: anybody should be ashamed of their skin color. But I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: also go, I didn't pick this. Okay, so I had
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with my skin tone other than maybe
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I don't go outside enough. But I didn't pick my
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: skin tone. So why would I take pride in something
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't do?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So, but for me then, that means I don't think
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: anybody should be walking around going, I'm proud of my
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: skin tone. Well, you didn't pick it. I mean, what
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: did you do?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Right. Right.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Um, but I also go, you absolutely should not be ashamed.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: You should not be apologizing for whatever you are, because again,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you had nothing to do with it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Be proud of who you are. Be proud. What was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it we were going through? I don't know if it
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: was George Floyd or COVID where they were making people
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: get on their knees, white people get on their knees.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It was George Floyd, yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: George Floyd. That was when there was a big turning
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: point during that time. In the middle of COVID, George Floyd.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: And people were so afraid.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: That they would get on their knees. I remember this
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: one young doctor, probably a resident, coming out of the hospital.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And the person behind the camera was saying, get on
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: your knees right now and say George Floyd's name. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Remember that? I do remember that. And they would get
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: on their names and say, I support George Floyd or
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: whatever it was. Right. It made me sick to my stomach.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Right, because it's a form of violence.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: What if we reverse that?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And said, get on your knees and say, I praise
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Do it. Do it. Can you imagine?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So that was as wrong as it was back in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the days when the civil rights movement and there were
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the white people who were being terrible to the white people.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They should have been vilified. They should have been shamed.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: That's not going on right now. So everybody can be proud.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And I love it because I see I listen to
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: so many black podcasts, conservative podcasts, because they are so smart, wise,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and they're on board with knowing what's real and what's not.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And they're trying to say to their own black brothers
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and sisters, as they call them, listen, get off the plantation.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: They're making you do this. We are free. We can
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: do whatever the white man does. We are fine. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that's the truth. We're all equal now. Just treat each
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: other that way.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And none of us should be ashamed of the skin
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: we were born in.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: No.
