 It's not about police brutality, it's not about the killing, it's not about racism within the police force. It is about just getting rid of the police and that is just step one for her and for the Black Lives Matter intellectuals. Step two, and step three, and step four, and step five about abolishing the entire system of call it liberal democracy, call it liberal in the classical liberal sense, call it capitalism, you know, we don't really have capitalism, but the remnants of capitalism, call it freedom. The real agenda is dismantling the system they tell us, the system is racist. But what is that system? It's the system of separation of powers, it is the system of, you know, a system of government that respects individual rights. The system they want to dismantle is individual rights and behind individual rights is the idea of individualism and that is what they want to destroy, that is what they want to dismantle, that's what they want to get rid of. They might not even know that that's what they want to get rid of just so we clear, but it clearly, it clearly is what's behind all of this. Every time you push, well, what system? What is the system you want to get rid of? Well, it's the system that protects individual rights and you replace it with what? Well, a system, like a socialist system, a status system that runs our lives, that dictates to us what's right and what's wrong, what's good and what's bad, that redistributes, that the entire system is run for the sake of the poor, the oppressed, the discriminated against, it's a system, the system they would replace individualism with is collectivist, status socialist, and that's what they are, they're status socialist collectivists. And again, I'm not trying to say everybody at the demonstrations is this, I know a lot of people go to these demonstrations under the assumption that they are protesting police brutality, but if you're under the banner of Black Lives Matter, you're protesting for their agenda, you're supporting their agenda. So let's talk a little bit about what this agenda is. And Black Lives Matter is very careful to describe itself as a decentralized, non-ideological group that's just concerned with police brutality and with big part of the website is dedicated to gay, lesbian, trans and all the different types of sexuality that exist according to them. Right, they're focused on those things, but the fact is that if you look at the founders, if you look at the other organizations, if you look at the support mechanism and they have built an amazing infrastructure of organizations and I'm not talking about some conspiracy, it's just the fact that the founders of this organization come from a particular academic tradition, they are very influential, they have spurred other organizations supported by other intellectuals and academics from the left of the left all with the same approach to race theory and to race relations. And they have spurred an entire massive infrastructure of nonprofits, activist organizations, intellectual publications and things like that that have a particular agenda and they push a particular set of ideas. So I've labeled the show as the new anti-racism and I say new because what is anti-racism? Well, anti-racism you would think, you would think, is somebody who's against racism, who says racism is evil. And for a person like that, I think, racism is treating individuals not based on their character, but based on the color of their skin the genetic makeup of the ethnic background, the group to which they belong to. So anti-racism is somebody who's against doing that, but no, that is a one-dimensional, unidimensional view of racism. Racism, we are told, are far more complex, far more intricate of a problem than just this idea of treating people based on the color of their skin or based on their ethnic background. No, racism is systemic racism is everywhere. Racism is every part of our lives. And to be an anti-racist is not just to be anti-racism because one cannot be anti-racism unless one is actively pursuing the elimination of racism as they define it. Not as I just described it, it's something more ominous, more serious, more. So anti-racism, Georgetown, African-American studies professor Robert J. Patterson defines anti-racism, well, it's not definition, but he says anti-racism is an active and conscious effort to work against multi-dimensional aspects of racism. All right, multi-dimensional. He says we need to collectively, collectively, and you'll see everything about this, everything about this, everything about the way they talk about racism, everything about the way they address solutions, everything about this issue is from a collectivist perspective. We need to collectively shift. I don't know how you do that. I can shift my thinking. I can try to argue and shift to try to shift your thinking. But I do not know how you could collectively shift our thinking on anything. We don't have a collective mind. We don't have a collective brain. We don't have collective thinking. Only individuals can think. We can argue, we can debate, but that's it. We need to collectively shift our thinking on racism as conscious, intentional, overt actions. Two, that's not what racism is. Two, he says, unconscious, covert, and unintentional actions. While racism can happen individually, he says, it often happens institutionally. So racism is not a problem that individuals have primarily. Although some individuals are racist in that sense. Racism is something that we do collectively through our institutions. Again, the collectivism, the negation of individual responsibility, but note that racism is not something you do consciously. It's not something you do intentionally. It's not something you act overtly on. It is unconscious. You're a racist and you don't know it. It's covert. It's even covert to you. You don't know it, you are blind to it and it's unintentional. You might not wanna be a racist and yet there you are. You are one. Now, how do you know if it's unconscious, covert and unintentional? How do you know whether what you're doing is racist or not? Well, the author of White Fragility tells us it's easy. If you're white, you're racist. Because if you're white, you've been conditioned by your environment. You've been conditioned by your life. You've been conditioned by the color of your skin, by your genes and by your environment to be a racist. The author, DeAngelo, something, says the status quo in the United States is racism. And he says, it's comfortable for people to sit back and be racist, but if you're honest and sincere about it, you have to stand up and identify your own racism. He says, the question white people should be asking themselves is not, have I been shaped by race? But how have I been shaped by race? It is a given that you are racist. And in that, by the way, they share what they share with the white supremacists. What they share with the white supremacists is two fundamental ideas. One in the nature of man, metaphysical nature of man. And the other, well, the other in, well, I guess the other one relates to metaphysics as well, but the other is political. But in the metaphysical nature of man, they believe we are determined. We are determined by our white genes, by our whiteness, or some of them might be a little bit more sophisticated about that. And they would say, well, we're determined by our white genes and by our environment. So you're born with particular genes. You're born into a particular environment. The environment is a white environment. So by definition, you are determined by a white world and you are determined by it. So they are determinists. They do not believe in the individual shaping his own mind. They do not believe in individual shaping and choosing his own values. They don't believe in your ability to act based on your own chosen values. Your values are what your race and what your environment dictate they must be. And this is again, white supremacists and the anti-racists share agree on this and the white fragility guy. And then individual action isn't significant. Individual choice isn't significant. What matters is the collective. What matters is the group. What matters is your belonging to a group. What has standing is not you and who you are and your character. What has standing is what color skin you happen to have and what environment you grew up in if people with the same color skin. So Robin D'Angelo, and I hate to even say his name because I really don't want you to go buy his book. Please don't buy his book. Robin D'Angelo says that you need to really work you need to really work on your racism. And you do that first by really think, notice the language, really thinking deeply about what it means to be white, how your race shapes your life. God said today, the world in which we live, the white supremacists and the anti-racists all agree that race is important, that race is essential, that race is a defining characteristic of who and what you are. And indeed that you must think about what your race means to you. In other words, we live in a world in which everybody, according to them, is a racist. Or everybody who's white is a racist. Blacks can't be racist because they're oppressed. But in my view, we live in a world where everybody, black and white, white supremacists, white fragility, anti-racists are all racists. I don't know what it means to think deeply about what it means to be white. Being white is insignificant. I mean, yes, I recognize that by being white, I'm not treated by the white supremacists as if I'm black. But so, I'm white and yet my ancestors were treated to concentration camps in Germany. Because they were interested in digging a little deeper into the genetic makeup and deciding that there was a difference between whites. Some were Jews and some were not. And the Jews got to go to the concentration camps. So should I think deeply about what it means to be white or what it means to be Jewish? What if I don't think of myself as white or Jews? What if I deny the fact that there is such a thing as race? Indeed, race is an idea that came from some white guys in the 19th century who invented this concept and started measuring skulls and doing measurements and figuring out who was what, which race that who belonged to. There is no such thing as race. But he says, no, you can't do that. You can't think of yourself as outside of race. You are white, whether you like it or not. And if you wanna be a good person, you'll acknowledge the fact that you're white and you'll acknowledge the fact that by being white, you are racist because your white institutions have oppressed other people and your ancestors. And everything around you is oppressive to other people. They never really give a lot of examples of how this oppression happens beyond going back to Jim Crow or going back to slavery. And yes, there's some statistics that show that cops are generally maybe more racist, but okay, specific cops are more racist, but where is the institution? I did a whole thing on institutional racism. Yes, there was institutional racism, but what is the proof that there is today? Blank out, nothing, nothing, no proof. Basically, what white fragility is white, what's the opposite of supremacy? Well, it's white guilt. You have two types of people right now. You have people who say to be white is to be guilty, to be white is to apologize, to be white is to grovel, to be white is to acknowledge that you are bad because you carry with you racism everywhere you go. And then there are people who say, no, no, no, to be white is to be great, to be white is to be good, to be white is to be superior. And then there's me and a few other people who say who the F cares. Whiteness doesn't matter. Whiteness is irrelevant. Skin color doesn't matter. I mean, I'm the one courting on Luther King, now granted selectively. I'm not familiar enough with everything he said, but all of this rejects the idea of colorblindness. Colorblindness requires individuality. It requires me being colorblind, to myself and to other people. So it is truly insane. One of these guys writes, the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it and then dismantle it. Racism is not about dismantling. Racism is about changing people's views. It's about changing the way they view reality as individuals. But you see to them, it's a system. It's not about individuals. Racism, anti-racism is about expressing the idea that racial groups are equals and none needs developing and it's supporting policy that reduces racial inequality. But there is no such thing as racial inequality. There is no such thing as racial groups. Do they really wanna get into this discussion about whether racial groups are equal or not? I mean, doesn't that feed right into the whole the whole white supremacist IQ debate which I reject? I guess they don't. Are they really equal? Equal based on what? I mean, in my view, they're equal because they're irrelevant. There are no racial groups. They're only individuals and individuals are not equal. Individuals are not equal. They equal before the law or should be equal before the law and whatever systemic racism is when they're not equal before the law, that's systemic racism. When some groups get proficient treatments or worse treatments before the law. That is racism. Slavery is racism. Jim Crow laws are racism. Individuals are not equal. They're not equal in ability. They're not equal in talents. They're not equal in character. They're not equal in upbringing. They're not equal in genes. They're not equal in anything. And all the manners are individuals. Once you reject individualism, only only bloodshed and mayhem are the result. They emphasize an anti-racist is not a non-racist. I guess I'm a non-racist. There's no such thing as a non-racist. So I must be a racist because I'm not an anti-racist by definition and I'm not a non-racist because such things don't exist. They find must be a racist. You see how they define my categories out of existence by whim. No reason, no logic, no definitions, just no can be. One endorses either the idea of racial hierarchy as a racist or radical equality as an anti-racist. Bullshit, I call on that. Bullshit. There's no such thing as equality of groups. There's no such thing. It means nothing. One either believes problems are rooted in groups of people as a racist or locates the roots of problems in power and politics as an anti-racist. Again, bullshit. How about we believe problems are rooted in ideas that individuals hold that shape their politics and shape their view of race. Your problem, their problem is the bad ideas, the post-modern gibberish, googly goo, nonsensical absolute utter nonsense that is not modern on you. It is just a reversion to group and tribal mysticism. He says, if your default thinking is I'm not racist, a more informed point of view would be recognizing how you've informed and influenced by embeddedness of race and institutionalized racism. In other words, you cannot be non-racist. It's really critical thinking about and analyzing how race matters in seemingly non-racial contexts. To be anti-racist is to admit when we're being racist and then challenging those racist ideas. We adopt anti-racist ideas and say the problem is power and policy and there is inequality, not people. Yeah, there's no, anyway, that's enough of these anti-racists. You can't even be an ally of the anti-racists. You're either an anti-racist or you're not. So you can't be, this is why whites can't, unless they completely apologize and feel guilty and they cannot, this is why a lot of blacks are offended where whites say, a black lives matter or whites go out and demonstrate, you can, unless you completely negate who you are as an individual, absorb into the collective. You have to acknowledge that you're privileged. The onus of proof is on you, the white person, for personal accountability. And I say, in using white privilege for different vantage points to talk about anti-racist practices, it's important to not speak for black people's experience. That kind of reinforces the idea that black people can't speak for themselves or that you need a white voice to authenticate what black perspective is. In other words, you can't win. These are some of the most, other than the white supremacist ideas, these are the most disgusting ideas that exist in the world today. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the stare, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist, using the super chat. And I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show, many of you step forward and actually supported the show for the first time. So I'll do it again. Maybe we'll get some more today.
