Comedian Dave Chappelle ( ) joins me to talk about Trevor Noah's retirement from Comedy Central, why Steven Crowder wears long sleeves so often, and why a woman is a king in Dahomey Tribe.
00:00:44.000It's a lot of fun, but there is something to be said for an intimate comedy club setting, and Dave and I often do these clubs in particular.
00:00:50.000The people who run these have made up their mind that they will not kowtow to the leftist rage mob.
00:00:56.000Now they have liberals, just so you know, if you go and look at their bookings, but they also have people on the right side of the spectrum, and it's something that they've consciously Decided to do.
00:01:07.000It's a rarity and honestly, it's allowed me to sort of fall back in love with, you know, the bell that I brought to the ball.
00:01:15.000That's how I started in my teenage years.
00:01:17.000Dave has obviously been doing it for a very long time, but it was nerve-wracking.
00:01:21.000To go out there and have someone record you at a comedy club and decide that they want to cancel you for a joke out of context.
00:01:27.000So it is nice to have some allies in the industry, and it's a lot of fun to be able to go and actually have an intimate setting.
00:04:23.000I know many of you don't care, but some people do.
00:04:25.000That's going to transition into The Woman King.
00:04:27.000Everyone's talking about it, but they're missing a few key points here.
00:04:31.000A lot of people, and Oliver did a segment on this with museums about how, you know, the British colonialists, right, they have items from like Peru or items from Africa, artifacts, and that sort of appropriation, we need to give them back.
00:04:43.000But I also want to know, what happened with the Peruvians?
00:04:56.000It's a stain throughout human history.
00:04:58.000But there are more slaves now than ever in recorded history.
00:05:00.000And the Woman King just ignores the fact that the Dahomeys, some of the biggest slave traders, slave owners, throughout the history of mankind.
00:05:06.000I don't know how that ties into a woke agenda here.
00:05:09.000This is the thing is, if you actually want to look at the scales of economy, the United States was not built off the backs of slavery.
00:05:43.000Just, I was watching this, I was reading this poll on Washington Post, and I saw it, you know, regurgitated in the media, and went, are they serious with this?
00:07:57.000We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying, why are you shipping these immigrants up north?
00:08:09.000We need them to pick the crops down here.
00:08:32.000They're like, why are you letting him go up north?
00:08:34.000Can you imagine if Donald Trump said that Unbelievable.
00:08:42.000No, but seriously, can you imagine if Donald Trump, can you imagine if Greg Abbott, can you imagine if anyone on the right said that?
00:08:49.000For crying out loud, we got in trouble because we said that black farmers receiving these giant government subsidies would have spinners on their John Deere.
00:09:36.000Hey, Latinos, and this is, by the way, why you see these unbelievable gains made with the Latino community, also the fact that they want children on puberty blockers and a lot of Latino Catholics not really on board with that, but because this is what they think of you.
00:09:47.000If you're Latino, you're watching this, Latina, Latino, Hispanic, whatever term you want to use.
00:10:32.000In Stone, you have concrete, you come here as a picker, your kids will be a picker, you're Latino, you're Hispanic, therefore you work manual labor out there in the fields.
00:10:39.000It's just not something that any of us here believe, and you know she does!
00:10:44.000Anyway, that's all I have to say about that.
00:10:45.000Well yeah, they're running out of cards to play.
00:11:49.000Sometimes when you start in pottery, like you start with the clay, you're out to make like a beautiful vase, and sometimes it's just- it just ends up being a pot.
00:12:16.000I can't wait for the day that You know, Father Time just pulls the ripcord and... Because I want... Because I... Right now I just... I just hate her insides.
00:12:29.000I want to be able to despise all of her equally.
00:12:31.000Yeah, she just has the eyes where you feel like one day you'd wake up and be like, where's my penis?
00:12:49.000All right, that brings us to this week's Entertainment Minute.
00:12:52.000So again, my question is, why do you think late night is tanking?
00:13:05.000Uh, we kind of know this, David, having worked, uh, in this, uh... Before I go to the time to close, Trevor Noah, of course, is announcing that he's, uh, leaving, uh, The Daily Show.
00:15:31.000And we have, that never includes the bits that you guys can go and subscribe on YouTube, Crowder Bits, or the Instagram videos, right?
00:15:36.000It's how many people are tuning into the full hour show or Mug Club, you know, two hour show.
00:15:41.000Those numbers are really, really bad with Trevor Noah, because the retention isn't good.
00:15:44.000Which means you can kind of trick someone with a clickbait title, but if they're not sticking around, it's also hard to get sponsorships in front of them.
00:15:51.000And Trevor Noah has been bad for business.
00:15:53.000And I would argue because he's unfunny and untalented.
00:16:07.000When he's like, I would like to thank the audience, I'm like, the people you paid to come in and you told them when to laugh and when to clap?
00:17:54.000And the first were 2008, 2009, if I'm not mistaken.
00:17:59.000But back then, everyone could post something.
00:18:01.000The whole idea was, hey, there are no more gatekeepers.
00:18:04.000When I was at Fox News, I've talked about this, they actually removed my own guest segments that I would upload to my channel because it's a fad.
00:18:10.000So now they go, oh wait a second, we're behind the eight ball and we can't compete on this playing field.
00:18:14.000So they spend a bunch of money on YouTube so that they can dictate what the advertiser-friendly guidelines need to be.
00:18:22.000And that's the problem that you're seeing right now with Trevor Noah.
00:18:26.000And with SNL, all the best sketch people, the people who are really good at impressions, the people who are really good comedians, guess what?
00:18:30.000They can't afford the pay cut to go to SNL.
00:18:43.000And they're not getting the best of the best.
00:18:45.000Once upon a time, this was the big show, so you had the Martin Shorts, you had the Bill Murrays, you had the Norm MacDonalds, you had the Dennis Millers, you had the Adam Sanders, Mike Myers, Dana Carveys.
00:18:56.000Now, those people will not be going to SNL, and the problem is they still have these giant, bloated corporate business models.
00:19:05.000And then you combine that with the downgrade to someone who's physically painfully unfunny, like I feel it on my insides when I watch Trevor Noah.
00:19:14.000Like you have to watch it from between your fingers.
00:23:07.000Nothing would make me happier than if you all went over to Rumble or Mug Club.
00:23:10.000Today we'll be playing They Don't Make Them Like They Used To.
00:23:12.000I can't even tell you which film it is because we can't talk about it on YouTube.
00:23:14.000So you can go to Rumble, you can download the audio podcast, or loudearthcrowder.com slash Mug Club.
00:23:19.00099 annually you get this wonderful hand-etched mug, but you also get access to a whole catalog of shows, military, veterans, Military veteran students, enter in that word, you get $30 off.
00:25:02.000Don't let me laugh, because I have to introduce the slavery in Woman King, and I don't want people to see me laughing when I'm talking about slavery, because slavery's not funny.
00:25:24.000Not just because it's woke and not because it's this, you know, sort of feminist tale and... Okay, we'll do a review of Hocus Pocus 2 tomorrow.
00:25:57.000Now this film of course tells the story of the uh, the uh, ago- agoji?
00:26:01.000The agoji It's this all-female fighting unit in the African Kingdom, and by the way, this sort of spreads across different countries, just to be clear, so we'll be talking about the tribes.
00:26:10.000So, lest you try and, you know, lawyer us on this, I understand that it's not just based on geographical borders, but the tribes specifically, or the people, the Dahomey.
00:26:18.000So, here's just sort of for people who don't know what the film is all about.
00:26:24.000When it rains, our ancestors weep for the pain we have felt in the dark halls of ships bound for distant shores.
00:26:37.000When the wind blows, our ancestors push us to march into battle against those who enslave us.
00:26:44.000When it thunders, our ancestors, the man we ripped the shackles of doubt from
00:27:49.000I'm willing to bet that they've changed the algorithm there with audience reviews.
00:27:52.000The New York Times praised the film in their review, saying, The women are their own greatest weapons.
00:28:00.000And among everything else it addresses, The Woman King is about strong, dynamic black women, their souls, minds, and bodies.
00:28:09.000Okay, first off, hit the like button if you can see where this is going.
00:28:15.000If you know the film is whitewashed, uh, if, I mean, and by the way, to say that this is offensive would be to say that, uh, Mr., was it Mr. Yunioshi and Breakfast at Tiffany's, was it maybe a little off color?
00:28:53.000Now, let's get, maybe if you're talking about like women who own slaves, in the homie tribes by the way, maybe if that's what you're discussing, you mean like they're their own greatest weapon because they have like a mountain of slaves behind them, they have so many slaves it's like World War Z on the wall.
00:29:22.000And our problem is that we talk often in school about how the United States was built off the backs of slaves, but if you look at the numbers, it's really not true.
00:29:29.000You can go and search or go on Mug Club for the band segments.
00:29:32.000I don't think it's still on YouTube where we actually compare the development of the South with slavery versus the North.
00:29:36.000And slavery actually impeded progress, economic progress, in the United States.
00:29:39.000Because it turns out that a lot of slaves who are forced, not the most ingenious workers,
00:30:26.000I would argue that it impeded American development, because, again, if you look at the North, when they freed, you know, obviously they didn't have slaves far earlier than the South, they advanced far more rapidly economically.
00:30:34.000And if you look at these nations that are still slave nations, they don't tend to develop, they don't tend to innovate, because people are forced to go in and punch a clock, and they don't necessarily do the best work that they can.
00:30:44.000In other words, I can see both sides of that coin.
00:30:48.000No one is disagreeing that slavery was wrong and that slavery plays a role in American history.
00:30:55.000If you want to help the world, let's not talk about puberty blockers for six-year-olds and calling CPS on the parents who don't administer them.
00:31:02.000Let's talk about slavery going on throughout the world.
00:31:04.000But to do that, you have to acknowledge the past.
00:31:07.000And you have to acknowledge the present, and you have to acknowledge that we committed an evil engaging in slavery, but we also eradicated one of the greatest evils in the Western world.
00:31:14.000So let's go through the claims, basically, and these are implicit in the film.
00:31:17.000So one of the premises, a claim first, is that the Dahomey tribe, I hope I'm saying that right, because I'm like, is that where homie came from?
00:31:44.000They were an unbelievably big player in the slave trade.
00:31:46.000So here's according to National Geographic, not a right-wing propaganda rag.
00:31:50.000It's estimated that from the 1720s until 1852 when the British imposed a naval blockade, Dahomey's rulers sold hundreds of thousands of people from neighboring tribes and nations to the British, French, Portuguese, and others.
00:32:03.000Now, if someone sells you something, for example, that is faulty, let's say you buy a used car and it's defective, do you blame the person who purchased it?
00:32:13.000And I'm not comparing people to a core, I'm just using this as an analogy, just to be clear.
00:32:17.000Or do you blame the person who committed the wrong in lying in the sale?
00:32:21.000Why don't we blame the people, at least equally, if not, I would say, weigh it more on their side, who captured people, enslaved them, and sold them?
00:32:30.000As opposed to people who purchased them.
00:32:33.000I just think that we need to have an equal distribution of blame.
00:32:35.000So the Dahomey Tribe, by the way, they also instituted, not just slavery, large-scale human sacrifices.
00:32:42.000They saved the decapitated heads, genitals, of their enemies.
00:32:44.000And took them back to the villages with them.
00:33:56.000A naval blockade by the British in the 1850s, that's what forced Dahomey to move off the slave trade and focus on Pomo.
00:34:04.000Again, a big part of slavery being ended outside of the United States where there was, and there is an economic argument too, a lot of people will say if you look at Abraham Lincoln, he wasn't progressive by today's standards, but part of it was economically motivated, but there was a moral component to, we cannot have our constitution, and all men created equal, and have slavery.
00:34:22.000In a lot of other areas of the world, the only reason they stopped slavery was for economic reasons. It was the market that forced
00:34:27.000them to move to something else like palm oil. Yeah. And by the way, so they, they, they say, they
00:34:31.000talk a lot about freedom, like freedom, you know, we get to be our own people. We get to, no, no,
00:34:34.000no, no, no. They, they lived by the code slave or be enslaved. Right. Right. You either enslave
00:34:38.000somebody else or you're going to be enslaved by them. Right. That was how they lived their life.
00:34:42.000This was no beautiful let, let live kind of culture out there. Well, I think this is one of
00:34:46.000those things. And, and, uh, Jordan Peterson talks about this quite a bit, but we've discussed it quite
00:34:51.000a bit. You have no clue as to what human Right now, this is the most peaceful time.
00:34:57.000For example, people are furious with Ukraine.
00:34:59.000Uh, sorry, furious with Russia, with what they've done to Ukraine.
00:38:38.000Not only were they not fighting off Western invaders who were trying to enslave them, the Agoge actually battled, they actually fought the French, who were actively trying to abolish slavery in the tribe.
00:38:48.000They were fighting to keep on enslaving people.
00:39:46.000They view the world through the lens, again, of oppression.
00:39:49.000And so if you are an underdog, you must be morally correct.
00:39:52.000You must be in the moral, you must have the moral high ground, I should say.
00:39:55.000This is why you see them support Palestine.
00:39:56.000Regardless of where you line up with Israel-Palestine, None of us would deny that Palestine, even if you support, that there have been morally reprehensible actions taken.
00:40:26.000Let's look at the different groups of oppression, when the fact is, they were actually oppressing people by not only enslaving them, but fighting off the people who wanted to liberate those slaves to one degree or another.
00:40:39.000And the good news is, they lost in record time.
00:41:00.000No, they're like, we have all the most brilliant technology and this magic and then he's on top of like an electric car with an invisibility cloak with a spear.
00:41:19.000Here's another claim that they make in this film.
00:41:21.000That America is the country, and they don't say it directly, but again, it's sort of implied that the United States is a country that built itself on slavery, or certainly more so than other nations.
00:41:31.000Talk about being critical to a nation's economy.
00:41:40.000And their contributions weren't limited to the South.
00:41:42.000A little bit north in D.C., there's the White House.
00:41:53.000And of course you've seen actors who've worked on this, if you look at the press junkets, where they constantly want to berate the United States, and we'll get to the Washington Post polls in a minute, for having taken part in slavery.
00:42:03.000Again, can we, can I say it any more clearly?
00:43:05.000Many Nigerian middlemen began to depend totally on the slave trade and neglected every other business and occupation.
00:43:12.000And this is important, the historical context, because you often look And again, you'll have racists who look when they say, why is Africa such a... Why are almost all countries in Africa crap holes?
00:44:07.000So, I mean, that makes a great point, right?
00:44:08.000You made it against the South as well, saying, look, slavery made you lazy.
00:44:12.000Slavery made you not innovate like the North had to innovate because they got rid of slavery and so therefore they had to get better at doing these things.
00:44:19.000The entire western coast of Africa essentially abandoned all of the natural resources that they say that Africa is blessed with, which it is, right?
00:44:36.000It's people actually buying slaves from you.
00:44:39.000That's not being oppressed, that's actually engaging in commerce.
00:44:42.000Now, you're doing a very bad form of commerce, I get it.
00:44:44.000And then the colonial oppressors come and tell you to stop and focus on something else that'll be a lot more sustainable in the future, and also not, you know, slavery.
00:44:51.000Also, it's why I walk back, 0% people got mad when I said, look, slavery was not based on race.
00:44:56.000It was based on Slavery was based on precedent.
00:45:01.000Precedence, I guess, in this case, because everyone else engaged in slavery.
00:45:03.000We thought, well, okay, to compete, slavery is a thing.
00:45:06.000Look at what happened in the slave coast.
00:45:08.000It was black people enslaving black people.
00:45:09.000You can look at what's happened in the Middle East.
00:45:11.000It's Middle Eastern people enslaving Middle Eastern people.
00:45:12.000You can look at what's happened in Asia.
00:45:13.000You have Asian people enslaving Asian people.
00:45:15.000It was just a matter of which people were available for purchase.
00:45:20.000To say that it's entirely racially motivated or ethnically motivated, like the Holocaust, where that was the express purpose, the eradication, right?
00:45:27.000We want to basically commit a genocide against the Jewish people.
00:45:31.000People didn't say, hey, we're only going to enslave people of one particular race, because people of all different races were enslaved, depending on where they existed in the world, because slavery was the norm.
00:46:23.000It's pretty hard to blame the United States singularly for all the evils of the world when today, the greatest evils that you blame America for in their past, they're still being committed today.
00:46:34.000By nations with many people who live there who you would claim are oppressed here in the United States.
00:47:55.000When they try and say conservatives are racist, people on the right are racist, that's this reactionary review that you'll see from a conservative in response to Woman King.
00:48:17.000You're condemning the people now in this studio for saying, this is virtue-signaling bullshit, there are slaves now, and you want to accuse us of being racist for pointing it out while you push Afro-lesbian-centric propaganda.
00:48:32.000I may not be entirely right, but I'm in the ballpark.
00:50:11.000While we're talking about racism, while we're talking about the accusations of racism, Washington Post They are now at this point, I would say, definitely diametrically opposed to the interests of the American people.
00:51:49.000So it starts off with the foundation that obviously Republicans are racist, and then obviously MAGA Republicans are racist.
00:51:54.000So if they get you to buy that, then it's a lot easier to get you to buy another lie.
00:51:57.000Just like if they get you to buy the lie that the Dahomeys were fighting to try and... First off, that they were even remotely successful in fighting off the French.
00:52:06.000Beyond two hours, beyond a long lunch break, to try and free... No, in fact, they were fighting to maintain slavery.
00:52:13.000So if you believe, when I start off from the jumping off point, you're, Republicans are racist, then you get to say I'm writing an opinion as to ask, why are all Republicans racist?
00:52:20.000So just to be clear, the PRI, they describe themselves as, quote, a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to conducting independent research at the intersection of religion, culture, and public policy.
00:52:32.000Now, you should note they partner with the Atlantic, they partner with the Ropert Center at Cornell, and the Brookings Institute.
00:52:38.000So that should give you an idea as to where they line up.
00:52:41.000The survey asked for responses to 11 statements designed to measure racism.
00:53:46.000Do you believe white Americans today, today, white Americans today are not responsible for discrimination against black people in the past?
00:53:56.000The answer, if you're going to be accurate, is of course, agree.
00:54:29.000No one here, of course, would say, well yeah, of course, I agree, we're not responsible for discrimination against black people in the past.
00:54:36.000You've joined, by the way, answering for other people who've come before you, and then you've asked the question with a negative.
00:54:41.000So there's two tricks there designed to trip people up, and by the way, this is then used as though it is concrete data.
00:54:47.000Indicating that half of this country is racist.
00:54:49.000And you can bet your ass that you're going to have Jean-Pierre or you're going to have the White House use this as the backbone for some of their arguments.
00:54:58.000You don't think the FBI is glad to have this?
00:55:02.000I can't believe you start off, or not even start off, but wherever that question happens to reside in there, that you ask a question like that, and it's not just that question, it's the narrative that we see from the left continuously, is that white people today are responsible for the decisions made 150 to 200 years ago by other white people.
00:55:21.000It's like, that doesn't make any sense at all.
00:55:23.000Because if we could play that game, we could just rewind the tape a little bit further like you were saying and say, okay, well the black people that went and caught the slaves are then responsible as well.
00:55:31.000Well, you don't even need to rewind it further.
00:55:33.000You can just ask them in the present tense.
00:55:35.000Do you agree that slavery that goes on today in Africa and the Middle East and Asia is wrong?
00:55:44.000Because these tend to be people of a particular race in these countries, and it's not because of their race that they're employing slavery.
00:55:50.000It's because of their values, which we don't share in the modern world.
00:55:54.000And you try and look at the modern world through the lens of the values that were created through the Judeo-Christian founding fathers and the documents therein, and then condemn them.
00:56:05.000It's a theoretical wormhole slave trade question.
00:56:43.000That's a more accurate question as opposed to combining them into one and implying that, well, hold on a second, if you don't think that you're responsible for past racism, that makes you racist today.
00:56:52.000This is not someone who is seeking to get to the truth and that's why I always say, be very, very leery of polls.
00:56:58.000Right? You can't just argue from the position of most people think this.
00:57:01.000First off, that may not be the case. Second, you have to look at the kinds of questions that were
00:57:05.000asked. Here are other questions posed in the survey. Do you feel that the white people of
00:57:09.000tomorrow are responsible for the racism of today? I'd be willing to bet yes. Okay. I just want to
00:57:53.000Do you mean, and this is, if we were to have a conversation, white supremacy, and this is why we do Change My Mind, where you can discuss these issues at length.
00:57:59.000Ironically for the left, they always say that they live in the nuance.
00:58:04.000Do you mean, for example, major in that are there any actual legal institutions that exist today that are allowed to discriminate, you know, aside from examples like affirmative action or racial or diversity quotas?
00:58:40.000Agree or disagree, if we truly want to repent of the history of racism in the United States, we must be willing to repair the damage it has done to generations of black Americans.
00:58:48.000Let me read that again because I know it's hard to say agree or disagree when it's filled to the brim with bullshit.
00:58:53.000If we truly want to repent of the history of racism in the United States, we must be willing to repair the damage it has done to generations of black Americans.
00:59:03.000Now, there are There's a litany of reasons that you could disagree with that statement.
00:59:10.000First off, repair the damage, but hold on a second, what do you mean, what damage?
00:59:12.000And then, how do you repair the damage?
00:59:19.000Are we just talking about slavery, which by the way still exists in the world?
00:59:21.000Are we also talking about what happened during World War II in the internment camps?
00:59:24.000Are we talking about what happened with Jewish Americans?
00:59:26.000By the way, we didn't treat them all that well, right, leading up until World War II, that's another thing that Americans don't necessarily talk about.
00:59:31.000We've made mistakes, but which kind of racism, and what kind of damage, to what level, to what degree of damage Needs to be repaired, and how do we repair it?
00:59:40.000So, I would just have to encapsulate that with... Disagree.
01:00:29.000When we tried to fix the problem of slavery, the problem that slavery created, of course there are better ways that we can look at problems sometimes.
01:00:36.000We don't always do the very best job of solving it, but one of the easiest things that we said was, okay, look, we just need to give everybody the same opportunity.
01:00:43.000The same opportunity, by the way, that we had when we came here from England.
01:00:54.000We are over a century beyond that, and we're still talking about trying to fix the problem, and the only way that people can say that we can fix that problem is by being racist today and creating a future problem.
01:01:06.000So black people need to be preferenced over white people.
01:01:10.000Kamala Harris just the other day, I believe, said something about funding going for Hurricane Ian to communities of color first.
01:01:18.000Well I will say though, I do respect her because if she were being selfish, looking out for her own best interests, of course she won't see a dime.
01:01:38.000And then eventually we have such a problem with white people, like a hundred years from now, white people will be like, well, slavery and racism and everything else led to me being oppressed.
01:01:45.000And now I need to oppress somebody else so that I can make the playing field level.
01:02:40.000And here's the thing, they say Rubin describes these people as the religious groups that make up the core of today's GOP and MAGA movement.
01:02:47.000Ah, so white Protestants, white evangelicals.
01:02:50.000I notice that they don't include black Protestants, which by the way is most black people.
01:02:56.000These evil racist groups, this is something else that no one wants to bring up.
01:02:58.000Very generous, by the way, across the board.
01:03:00.000According to Philanthropy Roundtable, and there's also a great book I talked about by Brooks, Who Really Cares, evangelical Protestants and Mormons in particular are strong givers compared to Protestant affiliation.
01:03:09.000Both Catholic affiliation and Jewish affiliation reduce the scope of average giving when other influences are held constant.
01:03:14.000Finer-grained numbers from the PSID show that the faithful don't just give to religious causes.
01:03:20.000By the way, the church does more charitable giving, and by the way, acts of service, than the government could ever hope to do, just to be clear.
01:03:26.000There is no larger charitable institution that exists, not just for Christians, than the American Evangelical Church, just to be clear.
01:03:34.000Hey, by the way, while we're talking about this, where are the international Islamic charity organizations for people who aren't Islamic?
01:03:52.000And to conclude the article, Rubin, using this poll, by the way, His polls from this organization claims that 85% of Republicans want to rewrite history of the Civil War and ignore the evil of slavery.
01:04:03.000In other words, if you say I'm not responsible for racism of the past, I'm responsible for my actions, she then concludes that you want to rewrite history.
01:04:24.000You can be categorized as an extremist simply for saying, no, I don't think I'm responsible for something that happened hundreds of years ago.
01:04:31.000Here's actual text from... Well, your ancestors probably weren't even here, let's be honest.
01:04:53.000Legacy and history, not the same thing.
01:04:56.000You pair those together, you've just rendered the poll completely unusable.
01:05:01.000Efforts to preserve the legacy and history of the Confederacy through public memorials and statues in their community.
01:05:08.00051% supported, 46% opposed, 85% support from Republicans, Democrats 26% support, which is kind of funny because the Confederacy was made up of almost entirely Democrats, to be clear.
01:05:19.000I don't know if you're history buffs out there, But while we're talking about the Civil War and the Confederacy, now, preserving the history means that Republicans are saying, even though we don't have a dog in that fight because we weren't the Confederates, that was you guys, saying, yeah, I don't think you should take down every single statue.
01:05:35.000Yeah, I don't think you should completely remove history.
01:06:34.000Again, just using the woman king as an example, when you're talking about the French going in and the Dahomey tribe, you have black people enslaving black people.
01:06:40.000Now you have different people enslaving people, members of different races all throughout history.
01:06:43.000But let's just use this as a very clear example.
01:06:45.000Black people enslaving black people, selling them.
01:07:29.000You actually can't say that because you're simply reinforcing the power structures that be.
01:07:35.000The racism structural index score, whatever the hell they call it.
01:07:38.000You're actually doing harm to current black people by reinforcing racial structures that exist.
01:07:44.000So it's not you're saying something I don't like, but the very fact that you have the ability to say it is a byproduct of free speech from racist white founding fathers.
01:07:52.000So it's like two evils that you're committing.
01:09:07.000Sure, it's the largest percentage of the population.
01:09:10.000You're going to have Christians who were on the side of slavery, but the arguments used to abolish slavery were entirely biblically based on the moral component, not the economic component.
01:09:21.000The arguments used to preserve slavery from the so-called white Christians had to go outside the scope of the Bible, and they had to be entirely economically argued.
01:09:31.000Yeah, by the way, we have a Christian in the White House supposedly right now who's pro-abortion, which goes completely against what the Bible says.
01:09:39.000So it's just an example that Christians don't always stand up and say.
01:09:42.000And by the way, do you think William Wilberforce was an agnostic?
01:10:11.000Yes, because the Bible says white people are supreme when it was talking about all Middle Eastern people and the chosen people being Jewish.
01:10:19.000And that's why the Jewish guy is saying that.
01:10:22.000And by the way, we don't mean Jewish like you think of them here in the United States.
