Based Camp - 1950s Black Families Where Twice as Stable as Their White Counterparts： The Insidious Black Culture Heist

00:00:00.000 Hello Simone! Today we are going to be talking about a very controversial topic

00:00:03.280 that originally we had actually had one of our black friends on to talk about with us,

00:00:08.720 but his recording quality wasn't very good, so we're gonna raw dog this.

00:00:13.360 Two white people talking about black culture with no protection.

00:00:19.760 This is not gonna turn out well. 0.99

00:00:23.320 Yo, so I'm raw dogging this chick, right? 1.00

00:00:25.720 She goes, yo, I'm on birth control.

00:00:27.300 So now this is Dylan, he just turned two the other day.

00:00:31.560 But, I'm gonna share some graphs with you.

00:00:35.380 One you've seen before, so the one you've seen before, putting on screen here.

00:00:38.920 This is the one that shows that in the United States,

00:00:44.040 the black American fertility rate is literally the lowest fertility rate of any ethnic group

00:00:50.960 for all individuals in that group with over a 30% income.

00:00:55.620 Ugh, what?

00:00:56.860 The top 70% of black earners, if you compare them with the top 70% of earners 0.94

00:01:01.340 from any other ethnic group, it is the absolute lowest and by a significant margin.

00:01:06.040 Now somebody could be like, oh, what about that one little area where the purple line

00:01:09.180 is below the red line, right?

00:01:11.040 And it's like, well, that purple line is native-born, non-Hispanic, other Asian, multi,

00:01:15.500 which I don't really think of an ethnic group.

00:01:17.680 It's just sort of, it turns out when people are multi-ethnic,

00:01:21.420 they have incredibly, incredibly low fertility rates.

00:01:24.220 But that's not the surprising thing.

00:01:26.900 I mean, that is surprising to me, at least.

00:01:28.800 Yeah, hello.

00:01:29.500 But it gets worse.

00:01:34.140 So I'll read a quote here.

00:01:36.540 In 2012, the U.S. Census Bureau found that African Americans aged 35 and older were more likely

00:01:43.160 to be married than white Americans from 1980 until sometime around the 1960s.

00:01:47.960 Not only did they swap places in the 60s, but in the 1980s, the number of never married African Americans

00:01:56.600 began a staggering climb from about 10% to more than 25% by 2010.

00:02:03.800 And by the way, it's gotten way above that in 2020.

00:02:07.260 It's at 48%.

00:02:09.140 In 2008, it was 44%.

00:02:14.960 At first, it seems shocking.

00:02:17.800 And then you think, wait a second, no.

00:02:20.620 Like, when you think about older Black communities, the marriage rate is high.

00:02:26.600 Like, these are very traditional nuclear families.

00:02:29.300 It's not just that.

00:02:30.960 In the 1940s, they did a study.

00:02:33.580 Black illegitimacy rates were only 19%, which was lower than the white rates during that period.

00:02:40.780 That also makes sense.

00:02:41.960 70% of Black families have kids outside of wedlock.

00:02:46.300 Okay, so we went from less, and now it's 70%.

00:02:50.160 No, no.

00:02:50.740 I'd like to note here how much less it was in white communities.

00:02:54.180 So right now, if you look at white American kids, 28% are born out of wedlock.

00:02:58.420 In Black communities in the 1940s, it was only 19%.

00:03:01.840 Well, so when I think about this, it makes a lot of sense.

00:03:04.900 Because when I think about historical Black communities or anything that I read about influential figures in the space, there's a lot of religion.

00:03:13.760 There's a lot of very traditional views.

00:03:16.520 Like, it is a more conservative.

00:03:19.560 Get off this point. 0.97

00:03:21.020 You ought to be ashamed of yourself, dancing to the devil like that. 0.96

00:03:26.680 And also, I don't know how to articulate this, but like, more buttoned up, respectful, and less trashy? 0.94

00:03:37.160 Like, when I think about the time, I think also, like, even just American presidents are just like the, like, when you think about historical white figures, and then historical Black figures, the historical Black figures are just so, like, respectable, intelligent, smart, wholesome, religious.

00:03:52.600 And then you think about, like, we've got Andrew Jackson. 0.95

00:03:55.460 I mean, even Abraham Lincoln was a bit of a slob.

00:03:58.120 Like, people were like, groom a beard, sir, please. 0.79

00:04:00.920 But this is where it gets really interesting.

00:04:02.940 And I want to talk about the theft and zombification of Black culture. 1.00

00:04:07.880 Because when you look at the BLM movement, what was one of the things they had on their website that they were promoting?

00:04:13.400 These frauds who were running this movement.

00:04:16.120 This is the Black Lives Matter movement, for people who don't know. 0.94

00:04:18.280 They were supposed to be promoting, like, Black culture and identity.

00:04:20.700 It was that being anti-nuclear family, being anti-marriage, being pro-kids not having two parents, that that was an intrinsically Black thing. 0.99

00:04:37.660 Now, the Black Lives Matter Foundation, right on their website, says that they aim at deconstructing the Western-prescribed traditional family structure, excluding fathers specifically.

00:04:49.780 That part of BLM's agenda was the destruction of the nuclear family, because they saw that as Black culturally, when actually the exact opposite is true.

00:05:02.680 Historically speaking, Black culture was more pro-nuclear family than white culture.

00:05:08.880 They were more family-oriented than white culture. 0.58

00:05:11.940 Yeah.

00:05:12.460 It's only nine months old, but he knows that he is safe, and he is warm, and his mother loves him.

00:05:20.260 And that's the best kind of a beginning any baby can have.

00:05:23.960 God looked at man.

00:05:26.900 He said it's not good for man to be alone.

00:05:29.000 He gave him a woman.

00:05:30.480 He didn't give him a village.

00:05:32.000 He didn't give him the community.

00:05:33.760 It was supposed to be God, husband, wife, child. 0.96

00:05:37.940 And that's the natural order.

00:05:39.680 You know, the effect that it's had, we've had women for generations now saying that they don't need a man, and we have boys that don't want to be one. 0.79

00:05:48.140 And you see other examples of this, like, remember the Smithsonian race card?

00:05:51.860 What I'm thinking about more is the most recent historical Black community museum thing we went to, remember, was the museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which talked about the Black business community that was formed there.

00:06:05.960 And that's what stands in, it's such stark contrast to me that the destruction of that community to a great extent was driven by white anger about how much that community was thriving and, like, oh, they're so wealthy.

00:06:19.880 Like, how, mer, we have to destroy it because it's so good.

00:06:23.360 And now, like, so we went from this amazing, like, Black capitalism and business owners and traditional families to Black Lives Matter, essentially saying that Marxist ideals are what, are Black ideals.

00:06:40.760 No, it's worse than that.

00:06:41.760 So I'm going to put on screen here this thing that was created by the Smithsonian for, like, staffers.

00:06:45.860 Okay.

00:06:46.160 It goes through and it talks about what white culture is, and then by, you know, extension, it's trying to say this is the antithesis of what Black culture is.

00:06:54.880 So just to read it, white dominant culture or whiteness refers to the way white people and their traditions, attitudes, and ways of life have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States.

00:07:09.220 And since white people still hold most of the institutional power in America, we have all internalized some aspects of white culture, including people of color. 0.93

00:07:17.860 So the first thing they say that's white culture, rugged individualism.

00:07:21.700 Oh, what?

00:07:22.480 Individuals is the primary unit, self-reliance, independence and autonomy are highly valued plus rewarded.

00:07:28.500 Individuals assume to be in control of their environment.

00:07:30.760 You get what you deserve.

00:07:31.560 So independence and autonomy being highly valued, self-reliant, rugged individualism, that was part of earlier Black culture.

00:07:42.000 Like, this family structure, then it says, the nuclear family, father, mother, and two to three children is the ideal social unit.

00:07:50.820 Husband is the breadwinner and head of the household.

00:07:53.060 Wife is the homemaker and subordinate to the husband. 1.00

00:07:55.660 Children should have their own rooms and be independent.

00:07:57.980 So nuclear family, evil, individualism, evil. 0.71

00:08:02.800 Even though you know, if you have at all studied historic Black culture, that those were very prominent features of earlier Black culture.

00:08:11.660 Wow.

00:08:12.300 Then you have emphasis on the scientific method.

00:08:14.800 Here they say, objected, rational, and linear thinking, cause and effect relationships.

00:08:20.560 In quantitative emphasis, they see all this as being intrinsically white.

00:08:24.260 Quantity.

00:08:25.860 Oh, those numbers.

00:08:26.940 Here's some other fun ones.

00:08:28.800 The Protestant work ethic.

00:08:30.240 Hard work is the key to success.

00:08:32.360 Work before play.

00:08:34.200 Quote, if you don't meet your goals, you do work hard enough.

00:08:37.180 In quote.

00:08:37.780 Like, this seems incredibly racist.

00:08:41.540 It does seem, well, and that one is really interesting because you look and you know any Black person who grew up,

00:08:46.720 like if you've talked with older Black people, they're like, I was raised believing I had to work five times as hard for the same rewards and learn to be happy about it.

00:08:54.560 Yeah.

00:08:54.900 Like, that was hard work was like the key to historic Black culture.

00:08:59.700 And then you, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:09:01.620 It gets worse.

00:09:02.600 Religion.

00:09:03.380 They say Christianity is the norm.

00:09:06.060 Oh my gosh. 1.00

00:09:06.840 Blacks shouldn't be Christian anymore, I guess. 1.00

00:09:09.260 Oh. 0.99

00:09:09.700 I mean, I guess I slightly more understand that because.

00:09:12.920 If I understand correctly, Christianity was first on a wide scale introduced to ancestrally Black populations in the context of slavery.

00:09:24.840 And I could.

00:09:25.760 Not really.

00:09:26.320 That's not really true, though.

00:09:27.900 Yeah.

00:09:28.060 Well, I don't know when missionary work in Africa started.

00:09:30.220 So I don't know.

00:09:31.540 But it could.

00:09:32.340 I mean, it could be.

00:09:33.060 Our ancestors were brought into Christianity by a conquering foreign force that often used slavery.

00:09:40.760 Like, I'm from England, bro.

00:09:42.700 Like, the Roman, look at Boudicca. 0.94

00:09:46.620 Like, the Roman Empire was not the most pleasant of people.

00:09:49.920 But I still see that we are better under civilization than we were when we would sacrifice children under new bridges that were being built to appease the gods so the bridge wouldn't collapse.

00:10:02.160 You know, hold on.

00:10:03.260 I've got to go over more things from this.

00:10:05.500 Okay.

00:10:06.300 Yikes.

00:10:06.720 Here's some fun ones that they say are white things.

00:10:10.500 Plan for the future.

00:10:11.460 Delayed Gratification.

00:10:14.180 Tomorrow will be better.

00:10:16.100 Follow rigid time schedules.

00:10:20.120 You don't get to just take all the best virtues and be like...

00:10:23.740 Decision making.

00:10:25.300 Majority rules. 0.62

00:10:26.980 Wait.

00:10:27.380 Majority rules. 0.62

00:10:28.760 Majority rules. 0.62

00:10:29.600 Oh, protect property and entitlements.

00:10:35.980 Do they have a version for Black culture?

00:10:38.520 Like, what is the inverse of this?

00:10:41.360 But I mean, the reason I wanted to bring this up is so that we could get a better understanding of just how twisted and erased actual Black culture was historically. 1.00

00:10:52.640 And I'm going to put a graph on screen here that I think shows the horror of all of this, where you can see the moment that all of this changed, which was the 1960s.

00:11:02.160 It's sort of, the change began in the 1950s.

00:11:05.500 You have this sort of flat line here in terms of Black women being more likely to be married than white women. 0.99

00:11:12.320 And it was twice as likely to be married, by the way.

00:11:15.640 Only 5% of Black women during this period were unmarried, where 10% of white women were. 0.81

00:11:20.820 And then it shoots up to now like 48%, right?

00:11:23.940 So the question then became for me, well, holy shiz, because you see first a slow increase from 1950 to 1980, and then an explosion after 1980.

00:11:36.180 So the question is, what started to happen in a slow way between 1950 and 1980 that led to this erasure of the historic Black culture?

00:11:44.660 And then happened in a big way post that.

00:11:48.600 And I need to be clear here about like, what the outcome of this erasure, what the outcome of 70% of Black kids being born to single parents is.

00:11:59.280 So here's one study here.

00:12:00.920 After controlling for maternal education, age, children's age, and gender, we find that the odds of being poor for Black children in non-intact families are 3.7x higher.

00:12:10.920 So 370% higher than for Black children in married families.

00:12:14.660 Wow.

00:12:16.220 After controlling for maternal education, as well as adults' gender, age, and AFQT scores, we find the odds of Black young adults getting a college degree are 70% higher if they were raised by their own two parents.

00:12:27.720 And Black children who grew up in a single family were 180% more likely to spend time in jail by their 20s.

00:12:37.280 In fact, Black children from intact families uniformly do better than white children from single families.

00:12:43.680 This is true whether you're looking at income, incarceration rates, or college.

00:12:47.180 For instance, 36% of young Black women from intact families have graduated from college compared to just 28% of young white women from single families.

00:12:55.160 Likewise, 14% of young Black men from intact families have been incarcerated compared to 18% of young white men from single-parent families.

00:13:04.340 Moreover, 13% of Black children in intact families were poor compared to 33% of white children in single-parent families.

00:13:11.260 But here's where it gets worse.

00:13:13.500 There have been a series, and I'll add and post some of the names here.

00:13:17.020 Specifically here, Christina Cross, a sociologist at Harvard University, who in a New York Times op-ed, The Myths of the Two-Parent Home, Cross contended that, quote,

00:13:27.100 quote, living apart from a biological parent does not carry the same cost for Black youth as white peers, end quote.

00:13:33.700 And then also Regina S. Baker at Stony Center on Socioeconomic Inequality at SUNY Graduate Center.

00:13:42.180 Of academic, university academics, who are trying to get people to normalize to the idea that Blacks are not actually as affected as whites by being in single-parent families,

00:13:53.500 and therefore we shouldn't create families to incentivize this.

00:13:57.620 And it is true, they are, like, the benefits to them are slightly lower than the benefits to white people, but the benefits are effing enormous. 0.78

00:14:06.840 Enormous.

00:14:07.360 When you look at this shift that happened in the 80s, you need to ask, what caused this shift?

00:14:14.100 Because most of the problems of the modern Black American culture and community are very obviously due to this shift.

00:14:24.580 Yeah.

00:14:24.900 Consider how well the average Black American would have done in a world where Black women were having kids within marriage or outside of marriage at half the rate that white women had children outside of marriage.

00:14:36.120 Yeah. 0.97

00:14:37.420 Well, and I'm also thinking about what we touched on at the very beginning, which is that Black birth rates are abysmal. 1.00

00:14:44.980 And one of the top things that helps birth rates of any group is marriage and young marriage.

00:14:50.760 And if marriage is a major, I mean, it seems to be a major leading indicator of plummeting birth rates.

00:14:56.540 Well, and here, the, the, and I note here, so people are like, what, are you saying that Blacks historically were not the same as they are today?

00:15:03.540 Yeah, actually, and here's something where I was asking AI.

00:15:07.060 The incarcerate differences between Blacks and white Americans in 1950 was lower than modern rates.

00:15:12.260 So.

00:15:12.620 And this was, yeah, 1950s, an era in the United States where discrimination was.

00:15:16.780 Famously racist, yeah.

00:15:18.100 Systematized, yeah.

00:15:19.180 The incarceration rates in the 1950s were 5x higher than white rates.

00:15:22.980 So to say it's significantly higher today is saying quite a lot.

00:15:26.260 Yeah.

00:15:26.460 Specifically, it was 5x the rate of whites in the 1950s and it's 7x the rate of whites today.

00:15:32.860 But you've got to keep in mind the amount of institutional racism that was in the system in the 1950s.

00:15:37.800 It's just not there today.

00:15:38.960 And we're not saying that there isn't still institutional racism.

00:15:41.640 It's just that there's, there's been a, we're, we now have 50 years of intervening, fighting against it and legislating against it and regulating against it and culturally fighting against it.

00:15:51.780 So we are in a better position now, hopefully, than we were back then.

00:15:56.700 So what was being pushed?

00:15:58.060 Because remember I said you, you see the beginning of this in the 1950s and then acceleration in the 1980s.

00:16:02.740 So what ideas were being pushed within Black culture in the 1950s are beginning to be pushed?

00:16:08.060 Well, in 1957, a book came out called Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, An Intimate History of Social Upheaval.

00:16:15.600 And it was about Black culture.

00:16:17.300 It talked about Black women moving to free love, common law and transient marriages, serial partnerships, cohabitation outside of wedlock, queer relationships, and single motherhood.

00:16:30.400 This sounds like white hippie stuff.

00:16:32.340 This does not sound like historical Black culture or like honoring. 0.62

00:16:35.880 It wasn't historic Black culture. 0.99

00:16:37.240 It was Marxist nonsense that was co-opting Black people. 1.00

00:16:40.740 Okay, how did this happen? 0.97

00:16:41.800 How did Marxism attack Black culture or take over Black culture?

00:16:47.640 Well, so I think it's very much that Blacks have always felt that they can rely on one party and not the other party. 0.90

00:16:56.000 Originally, it was the Republicans, and then they shifted to the Democrats.

00:16:59.760 But they voted uniformly in really high levels.

00:17:03.000 And we're going to go over that later in this episode.

00:17:05.180 And because of that, they don't see the threats from their own party.

00:17:09.320 So the Democratic side right now is ongoing an active Black genocide campaign.

00:17:15.000 And you could say, no, they're not undergoing an active Black genocide campaign.

00:17:19.380 Well, they did set up Black Parenthood.

00:17:21.500 The founder of it, Margaret Singer, did go to KKK rallies.

00:17:25.060 She did say the purpose of it was to remove unfit genes and specifically noted Blacks among those. 0.91

00:17:31.060 And if you didn't have Planned Parenthood in the United States, the amount of Black people in the United States would be literally over 25% higher. 0.73

00:17:41.880 If Planned Parenthood didn't exist.

00:17:43.900 Yeah.

00:17:44.120 And you could say, well, they don't do that anymore.

00:17:46.660 And then I'm like, yeah, except for the fact that 89% of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority communities.

00:17:54.000 Yeah, I used to attend Planned Parenthood for reproductive health, like to get birth control pills prescribed.

00:18:00.760 And I was always the only white person in the office.

00:18:05.180 It went from a world of, yeah, and that's the thing.

00:18:09.120 Like people are like, well, Planned Parenthood isn't exactly trying to eradicate the Black community from our country.

00:18:13.820 It's like, well, I mean, okay, I don't think that anybody who is working at a Planned Parenthood knows that's what it was set up in part to do.

00:18:21.900 I don't think that they are aware of it.

00:18:24.760 In all of these clan connections and stuff, go to our Planned Parenthood episode.

00:18:28.700 This is all admitted on the Planned Parenthood website.

00:18:31.240 This isn't some like wild conspiracy.

00:18:33.600 They're like, oh, it's regrettable that all this happened.

00:18:35.800 And then I'm like, then why haven't you moved your effing clinics out of the minority communities, bro? 1.00

00:18:40.540 Well, come on, Malcolm.

00:18:42.740 They have a clear answer for that.

00:18:44.180 They're trying to serve underserved communities that don't have ready access to other forms of health care.

00:18:49.660 But it's moved from we are systemically trying to erase this community because they are lesser than other communities to we are trying to systemically erase you because we love you.

00:19:02.680 Optionality, bro.

00:19:03.980 No, it's messed up.

00:19:05.080 It's messed up.

00:19:05.840 No, it is really messed up.

00:19:08.260 But hold on.

00:19:09.100 God, it gets worse than this when you look at the long-term outcomes of this.

00:19:14.680 So right now, and I'll wait to shock you with this statistic, only one in four young black men in New York has a job right now.

00:19:24.160 What?

00:19:25.260 75% of young black men are unemployed.

00:19:27.800 So remember that book I mentioned, The Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, right?

00:19:33.000 So it mentioned that black women who were employed had a hard time finding men who were employed, the ratio being something like 10 to 5 or something close.

00:19:43.060 And this is something you actually see.

00:19:45.040 So now we're going to talk about why their fertility rate is so low. 0.97

00:19:47.700 It's in part that black women just have a really, really hard time finding black men, and black men have a hard time locking down black women. 0.97

00:19:57.460 But it gets a little worse than that. 0.95

00:20:00.600 So imagine you're like a sane conservative black man who we had as the guy on the other version of this that we did.

00:20:06.840 And you are out there trying to get a woman. 0.60

00:20:09.840 Well, 91% to 93% of black women voted for Democrats in the last election cycle. 0.94

00:20:15.500 And it's not like sane voting.

00:20:17.640 So I'll put the video here of the star of the acolyte, like twerking to her weird oppression song.

00:20:23.020 I said white people cry, what's the call?

00:20:26.600 If they could take one thing, what they could be? 1.00

00:20:29.480 We shall go, don't fuck a trial discourse. 1.00

00:20:32.340 We shall go, don't fuck a trial discourse. 1.00

00:20:35.020 It's like ultra external locus of control, like full-on Marxism has like gutted their culture and is wearing it as a skin. 1.00

00:20:53.320 Finn, stop! 0.97

00:20:55.000 That's not black men. 1.00

00:20:56.100 It's the lich! 1.00

00:20:57.520 Huh?

00:20:58.680 Lich alert!

00:20:59.900 Lich alert!

00:21:05.020 Billy!

00:21:14.240 Billy?

00:21:15.840 The book, Finn.

00:21:17.780 Give me the book.

00:21:19.880 You messed Billy up.

00:21:22.780 You just want to mess me all up.

00:21:25.040 And I should note here that actually black men, 18% support Trump.

00:21:29.280 So when you're looking at them trying to find a partner, it's really hard.

00:21:34.620 Now, it gets worse than that.

00:21:37.000 So here I'm going to put on screen the OkCupid charts that show reply rate by ethnic group.

00:21:44.180 And here's where it gets really, really weird.

00:21:48.500 Okay?

00:21:48.840 So when there was a male sender, black females replied to black males at a lower rate than they replied to any other ethnic group.

00:22:03.120 And, interesting here also, black males also replied to black females at a lower rate than any other ethnic group.

00:22:12.540 Typically, and it's not like by a small amount.

00:22:16.320 When black females reached out to black males, they replied at a 37% response.

00:22:20.360 If it was Asian, it was 55%. 1.00

00:22:22.420 If it was Hispanic, it was 46%. 0.99

00:22:24.720 If it was white, it was 51%.

00:22:27.900 So significantly more.

00:22:29.540 When a black male reached out to a black female, they replied 28%.

00:22:35.220 But if it was, for example, an Asian male, 34% replied.

00:22:39.280 Oh, wow.

00:22:39.980 If it was a male, 38% replied. 0.95

00:22:41.640 And you might be like, oh, well, this is because blacks marry outside their culture all the time. 1.00

00:22:46.860 Actually, it turns out that black women are the single least likely ethnic group to marry outside their ethnicity. 0.99

00:22:55.900 Oh, wow. 0.97

00:22:56.420 Okay.

00:22:56.720 So they will, well, if they do marry, they will eventually.

00:23:00.100 Only 7% of the time.

00:23:01.960 Whereas black men marry out 15% of the time. 0.93

00:23:04.640 And I'll put another graph on screen here.

00:23:06.620 So you'll see that for married black men, 85% have a black wife.

00:23:10.400 And of those that don't have a black wife, 8% have a white wife.

00:23:13.340 For married black women, 93% have a black husband. 0.74

00:23:17.180 And of those that don't, only 4% have a white husband.

00:23:20.220 So this idea that, like, white people are stealing black people, that is like a fear within black people, it's not true. 0.87

00:23:27.740 It's only true when they're just people. 0.95

00:23:31.100 This is the thing.

00:23:32.120 It's not true in who they marry.

00:23:34.280 Yeah, I feel like there's, I almost feel as though modern society in highlighting that black groups face discrimination.

00:23:45.700 And that there has been historical and still some present systemic disadvantages, especially against blacks in the United States, especially those who descended from slaves.

00:23:58.560 That now that we're elevating the fight against any remaining systemic racism, we're saying these people are discriminated against and therefore not as high status, right?

00:24:14.000 And therefore, even among that group.

00:24:20.240 Well, there was a famous study on this where they, you know, they chose dolls and the black kids chose white dolls over black dolls. 0.93

00:24:25.420 Right, because no one wants the loser group.

00:24:28.560 And even if in trying to help the, quote unquote, you know, loser group or systemically disadvantaged group.

00:24:35.200 I don't think that's what's happening here.

00:24:36.680 Are you sure?

00:24:37.120 Because I feel like there's a lot of, like, highlighting of.

00:24:39.600 New evidence.

00:24:40.300 They've redone that experiment. 0.97

00:24:41.760 It's no longer true that the black kids use the white doll over the black doll.

00:24:45.220 What is actually happening here is it's culturally speaking, black individuals do not prefer to date within their culture. 0.98

00:24:54.480 But they're marrying within their culture.

00:24:56.160 I don't, I don't get that.

00:24:57.340 I feel like there's some.

00:25:00.480 Here's what you're missing.

00:25:01.740 Okay.

00:25:02.700 Remember, black marriage rates are incredibly low right now.

00:25:05.860 Yeah.

00:25:06.140 So there is two black populations, you could say.

00:25:09.440 The one that has stuck to their tradition.

00:25:11.220 Okay.

00:25:11.780 Yeah.

00:25:12.200 Which make up a little under 50% of the current black culture.

00:25:16.020 Yeah.

00:25:16.200 Or the person that's dating to marry.

00:25:18.120 And then there's just the person that's not dating to marry.

00:25:20.080 That's overtaken by leftist Marxists, right?

00:25:22.300 So which group is going to be using a dating site more?

00:25:26.420 The group that's been brainwashed by leftist Marxists.

00:25:29.000 Which group is going to be marrying more? 0.98

00:25:30.740 The group that's not.

00:25:31.580 That's the traditional black culture.

00:25:33.400 Yeah.

00:25:33.500 And here is what you see.

00:25:35.100 The traditional black culture, they are still marrying within their ethnic group. 0.94

00:25:41.260 It is the brainwashed ones, the ones who have been brainwashed by this Marxist cult, 0.98

00:25:46.040 that self-hate other black individuals in black culture. 0.99

00:25:52.280 The ethnic cucking that is going on here is by these ultra-progressives who are pretending 0.99

00:25:58.880 to help your movement.

00:26:00.020 It is by, and this is actually something you see.

00:26:03.320 If you want to see, like, a black woman who's married to a white guy, look at any high-level 0.92

00:26:10.380 black politician. 0.54

00:26:12.140 AOC.

00:26:13.260 Omar.

00:26:14.420 They're all Jewish guys, right? 0.82

00:26:15.660 Like, they all marry white guys. 1.00

00:26:18.460 AOC's not black. 0.99

00:26:21.100 AOC isn't black? 0.86

00:26:22.360 Yeah, she's not.

00:26:27.520 She's Latina. 0.99

00:26:30.200 The point I'm making is the conservative blacks are much more likely to marry with- 0.96

00:26:36.840 Wait, are you, like, literally race blind? 0.98

00:26:39.380 You can't see race?

00:26:40.540 I don't know.

00:26:41.960 I know that people think she's progressive, so I thought she was black.

00:26:45.320 Like, I thought she was, like, progressive and ethnic, which means black, right? 0.87

00:26:48.340 I call me crazy, but I just don't see race.

00:26:51.720 I guess I'm just the least racist person here.

00:26:54.360 Oh, okay.

00:26:54.960 Race is, like, often, like, a pretty obvious thing to observe.

00:26:58.060 It's not, like, racist to notice.

00:27:00.420 I had to laugh.

00:27:02.040 Zach, um, my goodness.

00:27:03.940 I only see one race.

00:27:05.660 Ugh.

00:27:06.160 The human race. 1.00

00:27:07.360 Such bullshit. 1.00

00:27:08.380 No, I'm not prejudiced, okay? 1.00

00:27:09.940 I don't even judge Shrapp for being a woman. 0.94

00:27:12.740 I'm a man, Katie.

00:27:13.860 I don't see gender, and I don't see sex.

00:27:16.860 I just see people.

00:27:18.320 You don't see how men and women look different?

00:27:20.420 No, I just see, like, shapeless blobs walking around. 1.00

00:27:24.120 I just am so committed to equality.

00:27:27.740 I'm just a good person.

00:27:29.000 Unless you're blind, you can tell that people have inherent differences.

00:27:32.220 Oh, I wouldn't know if I was blind or not, because I don't see disabilities.

00:27:36.860 I'm not a monster.

00:27:37.920 So, if someone were in a wheelchair, you wouldn't be able to see the wheelchair?

00:27:40.940 I have never seen a wheelchair.

00:27:44.400 Why are you so proud of yourself?

00:27:45.900 Okay, well, here's a thought.

00:27:47.200 Maybe you don't get it, because you have less experience on Earth than I do.

00:27:51.520 Experience?

00:27:52.120 We're all older than you.

00:27:53.340 I'm sorry, but I don't see age.

00:27:56.100 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:27:57.020 You have two older brothers.

00:27:59.280 Can you at least acknowledge that?

00:28:00.480 Yes, and I believe both women are my same age. 0.99

00:28:03.740 I don't...

00:28:04.240 I haven't looked at a picture of her much, okay?

00:28:08.320 Sorry, I just find this very entertaining.

00:28:11.300 You don't see race.

00:28:15.020 What do you see, then?

00:28:16.720 You see culture.

00:28:18.380 Ortez?

00:28:18.940 I don't know.

00:28:19.520 If her last name's Ortez, what do you think she...

00:28:24.300 Hispanic? 0.74

00:28:25.480 Yeah. 0.95

00:28:25.920 I bet you she checks black on racial surveys. 1.00

00:28:29.200 No. 0.94

00:28:29.880 The point that I'm making here is it's...

00:28:31.940 Oh, sorry.

00:28:32.340 Her last name is Ocasio-Cortez.

00:28:34.540 Those are two very Hispanic names.

00:28:37.780 There's black Hispanics.

00:28:39.280 You know this, right, Simone?

00:28:41.360 Like, that's like saying she's American, so she's not black. 0.57

00:28:44.380 I really want to know now.

00:28:46.080 I don't know why, but this is now important to me.

00:28:48.680 Puerto Rican.

00:28:49.360 But what before Puerto Rico?

00:28:50.540 Oh, her ancestry includes Sephardic Jews.

00:28:53.380 So, Jewish as well.

00:28:55.980 Anyway, but this is actually important when you note this.

00:29:00.300 The black people who stay was in black culture and are getting married 0.65

00:29:04.020 and are preserving their traditions don't have a hatred for other black people. 0.85

00:29:09.760 The black people who are not, they are responding to, both black men and women, 0.96

00:29:15.360 black senders of emails on dating apps less than any other ethnic group. 0.99

00:29:22.440 Like racists, essentially. 0.99

00:29:24.440 They're basically acting like racists, yeah.

00:29:27.200 Like you would expect, like, a Klan member to respond or something, which is wild.

00:29:31.280 But I think it shows the effects that this group has had.

00:29:36.300 And it shows that this group is malevolent. 0.78

00:29:38.540 Like this new cultural system is malevolent and specifically caustic to black culture. 1.00

00:29:45.260 But the thing that we're going to get to at the end of this,

00:29:47.440 when we get to, like, how this happened, 0.99

00:29:49.400 is blacks are just the canary in the coal mine on this. 0.98

00:29:52.020 It's going to happen to all of them, to us. 0.99

00:29:54.420 Right, because the beginning of this was progressive culture saying,

00:29:58.480 don't worry, I'm going to come in and save everything.

00:30:02.500 And that is exactly when they then subsequently began to dismantle

00:30:08.400 what was working for the black community and black cultures in the United States

00:30:14.220 and then begin to wear its face and act as though it is black culture

00:30:19.640 and speak as though it's speaking for black culture,

00:30:22.340 but only in ways that seem to be hurting it on the whole.

00:30:24.960 Is that right?

00:30:25.420 Yeah, well, I've got to put a clip here from Boondogs in the episode

00:30:28.460 where Martin Luther King comes back or doesn't die

00:30:30.960 and he just gets increasingly disgusted with the direction of black culture.

00:30:36.420 Excuse me, brothers and sisters, please.

00:30:43.360 If someone could just turn off.

00:30:47.440 King looked out on his people and saw they were in great need. 1.00

00:30:50.560 Will you, ignorant, please shut the hell up? 1.00

00:30:57.600 He just said what I think he said. 1.00

00:31:00.480 Is this it? 0.99

00:31:01.920 This is what I got all those ass-whippings for. 0.99

00:31:05.420 I've seen what's around the corner. 0.99

00:31:08.260 I've seen what's over the horizon.

00:31:11.600 And I promise you, you'll have nothing to celebrate.

00:31:15.220 And no, I won't get there with you.

00:31:18.020 I'm going to Canada.

00:31:19.060 Because that's the truth of it.

00:31:24.040 Like, it is not what it was,

00:31:27.260 but in a way that is much more dramatic than any other cultural group within the U.S.

00:31:31.060 because it was explicitly targeted to try to turn black culture

00:31:34.840 into an entirely reliable democratic voting bloc.

00:31:38.660 So you think that that's what it was, is that ultimately it's not just progressive culture.

00:31:46.440 It's also progressive culture plus one political party ultimately saying,

00:31:52.160 OK, we're now going to say that we speak for you and that you belong to us and we are going to try to control you. 0.54

00:31:58.840 Well, yes, they have literally hijacked black identity. 1.00

00:32:03.500 I mean, think about the line you that Biden literally said while running for president that didn't like end his candidacy immediately. 0.91

00:32:10.440 If you don't vote for me, you aren't black. 0.97

00:32:12.620 If you don't vote for me, how did Howard Dean get disqualified for an enthusiastic utterance and yet Biden can say things like that and still get elected?

00:32:23.400 That's really why.

00:32:23.980 This is because everybody knows that mainstream Democrats think this way, that they think that they own black culture.

00:32:30.240 It's so bad that there was an undercover reporter that we're dealing with right now.

00:32:34.360 And one of the things that they got on us, quote unquote, got on us, is us saying that,

00:32:40.600 well, we try to elevate the voices of POC women within the movement because it's better than, you know, hearing about demographic collapse from a white guy.

00:32:49.460 And they're like, oh, this is so insidious.

00:32:52.140 Look at this.

00:32:53.100 I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:32:54.300 Do you think that you progressives have a monopoly on the elevation or centering of person of color voices?

00:33:02.940 Do you think it's intrinsically wrong when anyone other than you does this?

00:33:07.640 And it's like, yeah, obviously you do.

00:33:09.980 Obviously, you think there is some moral problem to people other than progressives.

00:33:15.640 Having black people speak their own mind about those causes.

00:33:20.840 And this just shows the degree of entitlement the progressive culture has when it comes to black culture. 0.96

00:33:29.840 They just think it is theirs to own. 0.97

00:33:32.000 When they make up all of these things about black culture, when they say that being black means you don't have a work ethic, being black means you're not family-centered, being black means you don't like numbers. 0.93

00:33:42.740 It's because you don't believe in numbers or the value of time. 0.65

00:33:46.460 What they need to say are these are things that I as a progressive believe, and because we have stolen black identity, we are supplanting them upon black identity. 0.95

00:33:55.220 And it is very, very, very important if any faction of healthy black identity is to survive within our country that they see this. 0.54

00:34:05.720 And what I would say is, and this gives me a lot of hope, is first, it's important to note that there are three core black groups in the U.S.

00:34:13.360 that are as culturally distant from each other as, you know, I might be from a Russian-American.

00:34:20.260 Maybe even more than that.

00:34:21.940 They might be as I am from like a Chinese-American.

00:34:24.360 Specifically, this is the African-Immigrants, a completely different cultural group, often really looks down upon the Native American black community.

00:34:35.680 And I've seen this. 0.68

00:34:36.600 Like, they are, of the people I know, the most outwardsly racist. 0.68

00:34:41.320 Even more racist than Asians, because they know that they can get away with it and they seem to, like, get off on it a bit. 1.00

00:34:46.700 But especially, like, my Igbo friends, like, oof, they love baiting me because they know that, like, I get really uncomfortable when I hear somebody say something that's racist.

00:34:54.460 And so they just have fun because they know they can get away with it all they want.

00:34:57.780 And I just have to sit there and, like, okay, guys.

00:35:00.000 Yeah, actually, no, I'm having this internal montage of people that we've encountered saying really racist things and then watching your face.

00:35:10.880 Like, that one person who will not be named who referred to of our employees like this.

00:35:15.580 Oh, my God.

00:35:16.520 Oh, my God, yes.

00:35:17.920 Because he knew he could get away with it.

00:35:20.020 Yeah, but he also loved seeing your face.

00:35:23.120 It is this thing that people of certain ethnic groups love doing to white people. 0.98

00:35:29.800 It's just doing these racist acts and then watching me get, like, bright red, but not know that I can't say anything about it.

00:35:38.060 He really plays white people like a fiddle. 0.79

00:35:40.700 Wow.

00:35:41.520 That's amazing to watch.

00:35:42.960 Thank you for coming.

00:35:43.780 Would you like some water?

00:35:44.820 Water.

00:35:45.460 Water like fire water?

00:35:48.240 That's racist.

00:35:49.300 And I do not appreciate it.

00:35:50.380 No, no, no, no, no.

00:35:51.300 I didn't mean it like that.

00:35:52.660 It just meant, you know.

00:35:53.920 I'm just messing with you.

00:35:55.060 Oh! 0.60

00:35:55.240 I suggest we put on these authentic Wommapoke headdresses and dance around the table. 1.00

00:36:00.500 That sounds highly offensive.

00:36:02.780 Does it, white men? 0.68

00:36:05.020 No. 0.91

00:36:05.580 And I just hope that the souls of my ancestors don't put a curse on this festival. 0.97

00:36:10.420 There are two things I know about white people. 0.88

00:36:12.540 They love Matchbox 20, and they are terrified of curses.

00:36:16.300 So, clearly, this is not offensive.

00:36:20.820 It is offensive.

00:36:21.840 I am very sorry.

00:36:22.860 The first group is the African immigrants.

00:36:26.740 Actually, I'll add one extra group.

00:36:28.400 You've got the African immigrants and then the immigrants from the islands, specifically

00:36:32.400 like the Jamaican immigrants and the Haitian immigrants and the Cuban immigrants, and each

00:36:35.380 of these are totally different groups as well.

00:36:37.320 Yeah.

00:36:37.460 With some of these groups, like if you talk about Nigerian immigrants, you know, they have

00:36:41.820 higher test scores on average than white Americans.

00:36:45.660 So, if you're one of those, you know, like HBD people or whatever, there's huge diversity

00:36:50.100 here.

00:36:50.900 And then you have the, and one of those things that I always point out was in HBD people,

00:36:55.160 is like if you look at how distant people are genetically from each other, people in Africa 0.60

00:37:00.300 are so much more distant from people from any other groups.

00:37:02.780 Specifically, if I look at like two random groups in Africa, they'll often be more distant

00:37:07.160 from each other than white people will be from Native Americans or Asians.

00:37:10.440 If you were going to divide all of the world's population into ethnic groups based on genetic

00:37:17.020 distance, i.e. you were trying to divide five equally distant ethnic groups, white people,

00:37:25.640 Asians, Native Americans, and North Africans would all be in one group.

00:37:30.660 Like, this is a thing I don't get when people are like, oh, anyway, I always find this stuff 0.95

00:37:36.600 pretty ridiculous.

00:37:37.640 But you then have the first escaped slaves, and the escaped slaves created societies that 0.93

00:37:44.340 were like really high education focused, really high traditionalism focused, and then you had

00:37:49.200 the free slaves.

00:37:50.240 And there's some really interesting articles on this that we might go over in a different

00:37:53.460 episode because, you know, there's also parts of American history that just are not covered

00:37:56.840 because of wokeism, where you see that up until, I'd say maybe the 80s, these two communities

00:38:04.380 didn't really intermarry.

00:38:06.360 The freed slaves versus the escaped slaves.

00:38:09.580 Well, I'm sure, like, they saw themselves culturally very different, wouldn't you?

00:38:14.400 It would be hard just if you think logistically about the romance.

00:38:17.580 Like, if we're writing a romance novel, hi, it would be really difficult to relate to someone

00:38:23.560 who'd grown up so differently in such a different culture.

00:38:26.200 I mean, just when you look at what we constantly talk about, Albion Seed, it would be very difficult

00:38:32.040 for a white Quaker to marry a white Puritan.

00:38:36.640 Like, this is just one of those things where, of course, they wouldn't intermix a lot.

00:38:40.120 But most of their cultures have been erased because when progressives stole Black identity,

00:38:44.940 they stole it as a pan-Black identity, which erased the cultural differences between

00:38:49.580 the multiple Black identities within our country.

00:38:53.220 Oh, no, yeah, there was this huge, yeah, homogenization, trivialization.

00:38:59.020 I guess, you know, the thing you say about what the urban monoculture does in general,

00:39:03.500 which is like, oh, you can keep your cute little costumes, but all of your beliefs are now

00:39:06.900 going to be the same.

00:39:07.560 This is just that on steroids, you know, with Kuliza and with like- 0.99

00:39:11.820 Oh, you're Jamaican? 0.99

00:39:12.700 F that. 1.00

00:39:13.120 No, you're Black. 0.99

00:39:13.980 Yeah, like, we're going to give you some new holidays and we're going to give you some

00:39:18.160 new values and you're just going to be a good Marxist and you're going to vote Democrat

00:39:21.460 and yikes. 0.98

00:39:24.060 But here we have to ask the question.

00:39:25.620 So what the F, going back to the graph here, what the F happened in the 1970s?

00:39:29.680 Yeah, seriously.

00:39:30.800 How did they start to destroy the culture even more?

00:39:33.940 So this was in the 1980s when you really see things go asematopic, right?

00:39:37.480 You know, and some argue this was Reagan's war on drugs.

00:39:41.060 They're like, well, a lot of people were arrested and that doesn't explain it.

00:39:45.580 Why doesn't that explain it?

00:39:46.800 Because why did it keep going up after this period?

00:39:49.240 Why is it still going up today?

00:39:51.660 If it was Reagan's war on drugs, that should have been a temporary blip that they should

00:39:57.200 be recovering from.

00:39:58.820 What made the flywheel go off?

00:40:01.100 And also just the numbers in Reagan's war of drugs were not big enough to explain this.

00:40:06.120 And then you're like, maybe it was an explosion of drugs during that period.

00:40:09.400 And there was an explosion of cocaine during that period, but it was much smaller than the

00:40:15.600 current fentanyl explosion.

00:40:17.140 See our fentanyl episode.

00:40:19.080 So that doesn't explain it either.

00:40:20.820 And the fentanyl episode might not have come out yet.

00:40:22.860 So we'll see.

00:40:23.640 But it'll come out eventually.

00:40:24.700 I think it was one of our better ones.

00:40:25.880 So I asked, what big thing happened in Black culture in the late 70s, early 80s?

00:40:34.840 And I had this nagging suspicion.

00:40:38.720 And I went to perplexity.

00:40:41.820 And I said, when was rap invented?

00:40:46.560 And it says, oh, rap was invented in the early 80s.

00:40:51.740 Well, but then there were also all the Black exploitation films in the 70s. 0.63

00:40:56.780 Wasn't that more of a 70s thing?

00:40:58.860 I don't think the Black exploitation films promoted negative culture.

00:41:02.920 If you watch the Black exploitation films, they often focus... 0.98

00:41:06.740 Like, the Black characters are generally, like, family-oriented.

00:41:10.580 They are generally heroes.

00:41:12.580 They are generally pretty, like, small C conservative in their value sets.

00:41:16.460 They're trying to, you know, get rid of drugs, get people...

00:41:19.720 Like, they're generally good guys.

00:41:24.600 Okay.

00:41:25.300 I haven't watched any, so I wouldn't know.

00:41:26.860 I just...

00:41:28.120 The term Black plus exploitation plus film doesn't bode terribly well for me.

00:41:33.000 That was not true of the ideas that were being stereotyped was in rap music.

00:41:38.020 Did rap start out...

00:41:39.020 But see, here's the thing.

00:41:40.080 Rap as a genre isn't...

00:41:42.000 It's lyrics.

00:41:42.920 And I...

00:41:43.600 For example, I don't know if you've seen this.

00:41:45.320 Maybe you can find some clips online because they're freaking hilarious.

00:41:48.500 But there's Japanese rap.

00:41:50.040 And it's really funny because it's, like, Japanese rappers and, like, everyone's happy

00:41:55.880 and smiling and, like, they're all, like, you know, just doing their thing.

00:42:00.560 So I don't see rap as a genre.

00:42:03.020 Like, typically less melodious spoken poetry with a beat is necessarily bad.

00:42:10.880 It's lyrics that glorified violence and drugs and crime and sex and all that, right?

00:42:19.160 Debauchery in general.

00:42:20.760 So what do you...

00:42:21.840 How are you defining rap?

00:42:23.140 And was it, in the beginning, always, like, more oriented around crime and debauchery and

00:42:29.520 things falling apart?

00:42:31.280 It genuinely was.

00:42:32.580 And this is the point, right?

00:42:33.860 Like, it was, like, F the Police was one of the early songs that got a lot of people up

00:42:37.940 in arms.

00:42:38.440 Okay.

00:42:38.760 But, like, I just decided to.

00:42:40.140 I was like, okay, what are the top, like, rap songs today versus the top country songs,

00:42:44.320 right?

00:42:44.940 In terms of their themes, okay?

00:42:46.560 Oh, okay.

00:42:47.280 Okay, so...

00:42:48.500 And I don't know, you know, when this is from exactly, but here it is.

00:42:52.700 So, number one in rap is Kendrick Mars, Not Like Us.

00:42:55.760 So this is from a bit ago when I was doing research for this.

00:42:58.120 And this is a scathing diss track aimed at Drake, addressing allegations of inappropriate

00:43:02.680 relations.

00:43:03.760 And it's like, okay, so, like, diss tracks, okay?

00:43:05.920 Like that, this is, this was a collaborative track, dissing Drake and J. Cole, then Huzini

00:43:13.980 by Eminem, a comeback single that pays homage to Eminem's past hits while showcasing his

00:43:19.840 continued lyrical relevance.

00:43:21.440 So a lot of these are I'm important.

00:43:23.240 Like, that's the theme of the song.

00:43:25.080 Yeah.

00:43:26.040 I'm important and I matter.

00:43:27.300 The next one is Whiskey Whiskey about drinking and indulgence.

00:43:30.980 Oh, because no one ever talks about beer and whiskey in country songs.

00:43:35.960 Okay, how about this?

00:43:37.920 I will play clips from Whiskey Whiskey.

00:43:40.740 She like, tell me how you want it on the rocks again. 0.98

00:43:43.900 Feel to the top again.

00:43:45.600 Feel bad.

00:43:46.440 So addicted, I know we can do about it. 1.00

00:43:48.920 Country motherfucker, I say what's up? 1.00

00:43:51.180 She say howdy, howdy. 1.00

00:43:52.360 Call you my little cowgirl, how you ride it like a stallion. 0.99

00:43:55.040 And then I will play with clips from God is Great and Beer is Good.

00:43:58.400 We talked about God's great and all the hell we raised. 0.64

00:44:04.240 Then I heard the old man say, God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.

00:44:12.880 Or God's great and beer is good.

00:44:14.760 Or the one about whiskey, rain.

00:44:16.780 Like we pray for rain for whiskey.

00:44:18.900 Which is like, yeah, you get alcohol as a theme, but it's not about indulgence.

00:44:23.400 But it's all very Christian alcohol, okay? 0.98

00:44:27.880 We pray for rain so that we can work the fields to make grain and grow whiskey.

00:44:34.460 Rain makes corn, makes whiskey.

00:44:38.040 Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky.

00:44:42.620 We worked hard to make that whiskey, young man.

00:44:46.200 Okay, fine.

00:44:47.040 Then you have Wannabe and Ansem about the artist's confidence and assertiveness.

00:44:53.220 So again, I'm so great.

00:44:55.280 Loving on me, next one.

00:44:57.080 You can tell what that's about.

00:44:58.720 So like you're just getting here that it's all about I'm great, other people are terrible.

00:45:03.380 Like really, really focused on self.

00:45:05.980 Well, either that and or hedonism if I am to only guess by lyrics alone.

00:45:11.900 But I don't know these songs.

00:45:13.820 So if I go to country music, and country music is actually kind of hard here, because the problem with the country music charts is when I go through it, it'll have Post Malone as the top song.

00:45:26.940 What?

00:45:27.280 And then Shaboozy as the top song.

00:45:29.880 And I'm like, these are not country music.

00:45:32.300 Well, I also don't know if for rap or country, we can really look at charts, because there's a whole rabbit hole year.

00:45:39.700 But the entire world of mainstream, quote unquote, successful music is a complete scam and very contrived and manufactured and not actually based on consumer based demand for the most part.

00:45:53.060 I'm not looking at the songs by like Post Malone.

00:45:55.720 But anyway, I pulled it up on here on Perplexity.

00:46:00.200 And it says, take your time is the first one.

00:46:03.400 It's on love and relationships, explores the nuances of taking time and romance.

00:46:07.480 So consider this like one's about I'm the greatest person ever.

00:46:10.760 The other is take your time in a relationship.

00:46:14.220 Sunshine and whiskey captures carefree moments and enjoying life.

00:46:18.080 So it's not about like drinking at a bar, sunshine and whiskey.

00:46:20.140 Next is is games discussion is the emotional turmoil of a broken relationship.

00:46:26.200 The next is homegrown celebrates rural life and pride.

00:46:30.520 The next is on to something good focuses on resilience and optimism after setbacks.

00:46:35.760 The next is I remember everything pointing at look back at past experiences and relationships.

00:46:41.100 The next is last night.

00:46:43.140 So this is oh, no, I thought this would be a party song deals with the complexities of love and making amends.

00:46:48.840 The next is fast car.

00:46:50.920 OK, this one might be indulgent.

00:46:52.300 OK, a narrative about longing for freedom and a better life.

00:46:55.360 OK, no.

00:46:56.000 OK, the next is wagon.

00:46:57.400 Oh, hold on.

00:46:58.100 OK, I'm just I'm trying to give some counter arguments here.

00:47:00.860 Oh, God, it's blurry.

00:47:01.880 But if we look at number three on Spotify, it's God's plan by Drake.

00:47:07.900 Now, I don't.

00:47:09.380 That sounds.

00:47:11.420 Religious.

00:47:12.020 OK, well, we can play a bit by that.

00:47:14.100 But the point I'm making is overrun.

00:47:22.260 Well, there's there's parties in it.

00:47:24.560 It immediately starts about bringing girls to a party.

00:47:27.480 I can't understand most of all song lyrics, regardless of someone's.

00:47:30.660 But this actually matters because this is where people absorb their cultural values.

00:47:35.240 Yeah, no, that's well, that and TV shows and your friends and how you spend your time and your books and whatever.

00:47:42.760 Yeah.

00:47:43.000 But yes, music is influential and it definitely shapes.

00:47:46.420 Also, I think music is very powerful in the way it affects your emotions.

00:47:50.020 So it can also shape what you see is a success case, as desirable as what winning looks like.

00:47:55.060 You're right.

00:47:55.800 Yeah.

00:47:56.840 It matters a lot when I'm trying to decide what's culturally normative.

00:48:00.960 And I have a song, F the police, you know, growing up or something like that.

00:48:05.480 My relation to organized crime is going to be different than if I have songs about how great our troops are constantly.

00:48:13.560 Like and that's a common theme, by the way, in country music.

00:48:16.280 Simone and I play like country music bingo.

00:48:18.300 The tropes are what?

00:48:19.900 Our troops are great.

00:48:21.320 I have undergone challenges but overcome them.

00:48:24.200 I love my spouse.

00:48:26.180 I love my kids.

00:48:27.900 I love hard work and hard work brings good things to me at the end of the day.

00:48:32.520 I love America and small towns.

00:48:35.140 I love simple things in America, like maybe like jeans and like chicken nuggets.

00:48:40.800 I don't think chicken nuggets are.

00:48:43.340 I've been through town, just my boy and me.

00:48:46.180 Knowing that he couldn't have the toy till his nuggets were gone.

00:48:50.100 Green traffic light turned straight to red.

00:48:53.420 His fries went a-flying and his orange drink covered his lap.

00:48:57.400 Well, him a four-year-old said a four-letter word.

00:49:01.240 It started with S and I was concerned.

00:49:04.400 He said, I've been watching you, that ain't that cool house.

00:49:10.440 In my house, it's not much to talk about.

00:49:13.640 But it's filling love and a little bit of chicken fried.

00:49:18.080 Cold beer on a Friday night.

00:49:20.740 It's pickup trucks.

00:49:21.740 It's dirt roads.

00:49:22.540 It's jeans.

00:49:23.300 It's beer, whiskey, wives, girlfriends, children.

00:49:28.980 But you're not going to get a country song about sleeping with lots of women at a club. 1.00

00:49:34.400 Like, it's just not going to happen.

00:49:36.260 I mean, they might exist, but they're not going to be like popular mainstream country songs.

00:49:40.540 Because that's antithetical to the culture that's being portrayed.

00:49:43.880 No, the partying songs are like, we worked really hard, so now we're going to take off our boots and dance.

00:49:50.140 I also would note around the way that they promote spending of money.

00:49:54.480 And here's the messed up thing.

00:49:57.100 Country music is derivative of black music.

00:50:00.400 Country music as a genre came from black genres of music.

00:50:03.260 Oh, older.

00:50:04.140 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:50:05.280 I was like, rap to country?

00:50:06.720 How did?

00:50:07.080 No, no, no.

00:50:07.600 It was before rap.

00:50:08.720 But what I'm saying is that black music didn't have to go that way.

00:50:12.040 In fact, it did go in another direction when we talk about country music.

00:50:15.040 Specifically here, country music came from blues, which was a mostly black form of music in its beginning,

00:50:22.000 and was also itself derived from jazz, another black form of music.

00:50:26.380 And here I would note, people are like, well, these sorts of themes are popular in country music

00:50:31.840 because it's what the customer want, and these sorts of themes are popular in rap

00:50:35.660 because it's what the customer wants.

00:50:36.840 But that's not really true, especially in the early days when the rap culture was being formed.

00:50:42.020 Back then, the songs that were popular were determined less by customer sentiment

00:50:47.180 and more by the big radio stations and record labels,

00:50:51.060 which could decide which songs to promote and which songs to play more.

00:50:56.280 And it made it very easy for an individual to manipulate downstream culture.

00:51:02.520 And I think that's what we saw here was an intentional manipulation,

00:51:07.060 an intentional attempt by individuals was a specific agenda to rot the family values

00:51:17.080 and the wholesome nature, which was intrinsic to pre-60s American black culture.

00:51:23.660 And I'd also note here, if you just listen to the themes in these two groups of songs,

00:51:28.020 and you think, okay, two groups are being exposed disproportionately to one theme

00:51:31.620 and then another group to the other theme, how are you going to motivate high degrees of marriage

00:51:36.660 and having kids when all the themes are about I'm so much better than X person 0.64

00:51:41.980 instead of, like, I accidentally cursed in front of my kid and then he learned to curse,

00:51:46.640 but he still loves and respects me.

00:51:48.780 Like, you just can't compete unless you're constantly being bombarded with one of these

00:51:54.680 that's telling you these are the cultural things you should value.

00:51:57.000 And I'd also note here that I am not coming out here with, like, this wild take.

00:52:01.560 This is something that a large number of influential black individuals were saying in the 90s

00:52:09.480 to the point where it just became sort of this trope of, like,

00:52:13.160 oh, you're an out-of-touch-whatever saying the cultural degradation is downstream of rap music.

00:52:18.120 But, like, I think that this trope allowed this truth to be obscured,

00:52:25.300 even when it was, one, obvious that the themes in rap music were very different

00:52:31.040 than the themes in music targeted at different cultural groups,

00:52:34.900 and that those themes were having an effect on the on-the-ground culture

00:52:40.300 and on how status hierarchies worked within these communities.

00:52:44.120 And I understand the temptation to say that the corruption of black family values 1.00

00:52:49.920 came from the drug explosion in the 80s.

00:52:54.400 It's just that the data doesn't really back it up,

00:52:56.700 and there isn't a good mechanism of action there.

00:52:59.100 What I mean by that is the drug explosion then was lower than the fentanyl explosion now,

00:53:04.380 and we haven't seen a similar cultural shift.

00:53:06.720 In addition to that, I just don't get what the mechanism of action would be.

00:53:11.200 How would drugs in and of themselves convince people that it is not high status

00:53:17.900 to be in a loving, monogamous relationship and have kids?

00:53:22.420 Whereas I can see how a message like that might come from something like music,

00:53:27.560 I can't see how it could come from drugs.

00:53:30.260 And it's not just that I can hypothesize how it might have come from music.

00:53:34.100 I know the themes of the rap songs I would listen to growing up,

00:53:38.100 and they were very much focused on your status is determined by how much money you have

00:53:44.640 and how many women you can sleep with. 0.98

00:53:47.420 To an effect where it even affected me and my own values,

00:53:51.180 whereas when I listen to country music, it's very clear your status is determined

00:53:55.560 by the amount that you're sacrificing for your family and for your country.

00:54:00.880 But specifically, if you talk about indulgent expenses,

00:54:03.860 that's the one thing that's really big in rap is all the expensive things I'm spending money on.

00:54:07.880 But every now and then when I get paid,

00:54:10.960 yeah, we fancy like Applebee's on a date night

00:54:14.440 with the Oreo shake and some whipped cream on the top.

00:54:18.600 I don't need no Tesla to impress me.

00:54:21.620 My girl is happy rolling on a Vespa.

00:54:24.100 Whereas in country music, the indulgences are always about like maybe beer and maybe a boat.

00:54:32.040 Like if I had a million dollars, I'll put the song here about like,

00:54:35.100 there's a couple of songs about this.

00:54:36.420 Like one is about like, well, if I had a lot of money,

00:54:39.580 it might not buy happiness, but it could buy a boat and some beer.

00:54:42.460 And then another one was like, if I won the lottery, I'd have a boat.

00:54:47.620 But like boats don't cost that much.

00:54:49.420 They're not yachts.

00:54:51.080 Keep in mind, they're fishing boats.

00:54:53.420 I know everybody says money can't buy happiness,

00:54:59.260 but it can buy me a boat.

00:55:01.380 It can buy me a Yeti 110.

00:55:03.940 I stand with some silver bullets.

00:55:07.660 Well, I won dollars on a scratch off ticket.

00:55:11.580 It was just right.

00:55:13.220 So I bought a six pack and a bag of ice.

00:55:17.360 It ain't like we really need a million dollar yacht.

00:55:20.920 We're laughing all the way to the riverbank.

00:55:26.360 They're fishing boats to catch fish.

00:55:28.280 Yeah.

00:55:28.580 They're not like, I'm going to get a lot of like bling and diamonds and everything like that.

00:55:32.480 It's like, I'm going to get the minimum I need to enjoy my life, which culturally speaking-

00:55:36.940 Well, and the only country music song lyric I can think of now that involves buying a ring

00:55:42.040 is in the context of finding a wife and proposing to her.

00:55:46.720 Like you buy jewelry tactically to form a family, which seems helpful, especially when

00:55:52.560 we're coming, bringing this back to pronatalism and family formation and the impact that that

00:55:56.480 can have on a culture and the prospects of its youth.

00:55:59.260 So that is important.

00:56:02.880 Now, some of the, you know, people have pointed out to us on Twitter, like they've pointed

00:56:06.160 us to some really super pronatalist black. 0.95

00:56:11.600 I don't like performers. 0.85

00:56:12.720 I didn't look into like one guy's music who was shared with us.

00:56:15.600 So they are out there.

00:56:17.300 And I think like where I have hope is that I think that many black performers, influencers,

00:56:25.200 commentators, writers, et cetera, are starting to fight back and say, you're not going to

00:56:31.520 tell me what my culture is.

00:56:32.980 This is my culture.

00:56:33.820 And I'm going to lead by example and show you how great it is.

00:56:39.660 And we're going to shift to that.

00:56:41.440 The question is, can they, in a grassroots, non-coordinated fashion, overcome the urban

00:56:50.760 monoculture, having essentially said black people in America are monolithic, they belong 1.00

00:56:56.880 to us, and we control who they are and what they stand for.

00:57:01.700 Well, I think they can as long as they keep their fences up.

00:57:05.140 By that, what I mean is with their kids, they need to contextualize that whatever the black

00:57:11.640 culture is that's being sold to them by the urban monoculture and in society, that is

00:57:16.300 not and never was real black culture.

00:57:18.720 Well, I think we are seeing well, I think we're seeing to brainwash.

00:57:25.340 In some ways, I think we're seeing this pop up in especially church based black communities

00:57:31.360 where they are around a specific church group, a specific collection of pastors.

00:57:36.820 I remember when we were in Atlanta, looking at buying that company that made boxes for

00:57:44.960 food.

00:57:45.400 Do you remember that?

00:57:46.400 Yeah.

00:57:46.560 And we just walked around and in our hotel, there was like a big church convention and it

00:57:51.740 was like a fast, I don't think it was a single white parishioner there that I saw.

00:57:55.400 It was like a vast majority, like, but their dress, their comportment, their culture,

00:58:01.360 their way of speaking, all of it felt very different from what is presented to us in

00:58:05.740 mainstream media as this is black culture. 0.58

00:58:07.840 It felt like black characters I had seen from like the 50s and 60s where they were much

00:58:11.980 more put together than the white people, when they were much more like polite and professionalized 1.00

00:58:17.480 and much more focused on, you know, nuclear families and everything like that.

00:58:23.000 Yeah.

00:58:23.240 Well, yeah.

00:58:23.880 I mean, there were in the materials we saw from the gathering, you know, heavy emphasis

00:58:28.180 on relationship formation and also like independence hardware.

00:58:32.260 It was very, I mean, it was probably Protestant or like Baptist.

00:58:35.520 I don't know.

00:58:35.920 Like it was, it was a Baptist group.

00:58:37.560 Yeah.

00:58:37.680 And so you're, you're going to see some Protestant work ethic in there, which apparently is very

00:58:41.380 white, but tell them that.

00:58:43.740 Right.

00:58:44.160 And so that encourages me is that these groups, you know, that, that was clearly a group of

00:58:49.240 like a church that had dating networks.

00:58:51.800 It had conferences that was gathering, that was probably creating some kind of walled garden

00:58:57.940 that, that will, and keep in mind, as you pointed out at the beginning of this black 0.63

00:59:03.380 birth rates in the United States are abysmal.

00:59:05.780 So where there also is hope is that the groups that are having kids are, are opting out of 0.99

00:59:12.640 whatever has been toxically created and are staying within these wall, hopefully they'll

00:59:19.040 stay within these walled gardens.

00:59:20.020 They won't be attacked.

00:59:20.960 They won't be sort of taken over by the urban monoculture and they won't inherit the future

00:59:27.380 because they're, I'm sure they have high birth rates. 0.86

00:59:29.420 I think the way to protect kids from this, and I think this can be done with evidence

00:59:34.720 is to show that what the urban monoculture is telling black families is black culture

00:59:38.660 is categorically not black culture. 0.57

00:59:41.560 It is an abomination that was used to destroy black culture in this country that has led to 1.00

00:59:48.600 the really high crime steps in black communities that has led to the really high unemployment 1.00

00:59:53.640 steps in black communities that has, and, and actually you see this, if you look at, and

00:59:58.520 I'll put the charts on screen here, black individuals who lived in areas was predominantly Republican

01:00:04.880 so that they were more conservative.

01:00:06.740 Their IQ gap was whites is much smaller. 0.76

01:00:09.640 Their earning gap was whites is much smaller.

01:00:11.700 Like these communities are improving themselves and it gets worse as in all of this, it, this

01:00:19.420 entire system that's created by this affirmative action nonsense creates an environment in which 0.93

01:00:26.160 the ultra competent black individuals get one removed from the gene pool, as we've seen 1.00

01:00:31.540 from the data and two really have no shot because they are always going to be better off taking

01:00:38.200 some DEI position.

01:00:39.840 You know, I, you know, I went to Stanford business school for my MBA, which is supposed

01:00:43.180 to be like best of the best in the country.

01:00:44.740 And like so many of my black classmates are in like standard DEI positions. 0.76

01:00:48.940 What I mean by that is like, they like literally like help commute companies, like sweet baby

01:00:53.660 ink stuff.

01:00:54.360 You know what I mean?

01:00:54.840 Like we're going to help you make sure that like, you're not doing anything.

01:00:58.140 Well, and that's, that's because also there's like a lot of toxic legislation in California

01:01:02.240 that's like, you need to have this many like non-white people on your board or whatever.

01:01:06.680 I don't know exactly what the rules are, but they're, they're playing arbitrage games.

01:01:10.340 Like any smart person would. 0.79

01:01:11.680 No, they're not dumb for doing this.

01:01:13.460 The problem is, is that it makes the smartest decision a middling success decision. 0.84

01:01:18.860 Yeah.

01:01:19.280 And then you have somebody like say me, right?

01:01:21.260 Like I was told that because I'm white, I am not eligible for the dream job that I wanted.

01:01:26.660 I wanted to become a professor at Stanford business school.

01:01:29.340 And I was told under the table, we have a hiring freeze on white males who come from

01:01:35.800 this hiring pathway.

01:01:37.100 Specifically, I wanted to start a company, do well, become sort of publicly famous as

01:01:41.100 an intellectual and then get hired in, which is the pathway that a lot of the professors

01:01:44.580 is like 50% of the staff gets hired in that way.

01:01:46.900 And they said, no, you can only go like the traditional route of up through the PhD program

01:01:51.180 because we don't hire through this other pathway at all anymore.

01:01:55.060 If you're white and a male.

01:01:56.620 And I was just devastated by that.

01:01:58.360 Cause that had been my dream since I was a kid.

01:01:59.940 Right.

01:02:00.280 You know, I had other dreams, but it was one of my dreams.

01:02:02.740 I wanted to, you know, use that as my platform for making changes to the world as a professor. 0.98

01:02:07.260 And I was like, well, shit, like that's really sad. 0.99

01:02:10.620 But because of that, I had to go for higher risk, higher reward opportunities. 0.99

01:02:14.200 And now, you know, if you look at the number of people that we touch with this podcast or

01:02:17.880 other things we do, it's just like infinitely higher.

01:02:20.160 And it's because I was forced to take the higher risk, higher reward thing as a high

01:02:24.720 competence person or essentially preventing black entrepreneurs from having any success.

01:02:30.780 Well, and here's, so I want to look at this from another perspective, because obviously

01:02:34.100 speaking from our, let's use progressive terms, lived experience as white cisgendered people,

01:02:41.720 right?

01:02:41.860 We, we don't know what it's like to be of many different minority statuses, but what

01:02:47.680 I do know is like my, my parents' experience living as gaijin, as foreigners in Japan in

01:02:54.580 the eighties and Japan in the eighties was pretty racist against white people.

01:03:00.600 There was a show that they would watch.

01:03:02.140 They recorded.

01:03:02.740 And I watched it extensively as a child called like Bita Kishi's castle.

01:03:07.280 It's like when, one of the very early obstacle course reality shows, it was amazing.

01:03:10.800 They had one token white actor in it.

01:03:14.820 He was a former American baseball player.

01:03:17.020 I think his name was animal and his job on the show was to burst out of like water and

01:03:23.520 like attack people going through these obstacle courses and like topple them off.

01:03:27.400 And he was just really big.

01:03:28.800 And he'd just be like, and then like, he would just like slam them into the mud or something.

01:03:33.920 And like, that was what animal did.

01:03:36.180 And that was kind of like where things were in Japan at the time.

01:03:38.940 Hey, even still, when I was working in Korea, I had, this was a company that our firm, because

01:03:45.040 I worked as a venture capitalist that the director of strategy had invested in.

01:03:48.380 And he's like, in all honesty, I'd really prefer if you left the country, because I think that

01:03:52.340 you make the country less aesthetically beautiful.

01:03:54.620 I mean, true.

01:03:56.080 I was like, I'm sorry.

01:03:56.980 They're so beautiful.

01:03:57.800 They're so beautiful.

01:03:58.680 I have a point here.

01:03:59.740 If you don't mind, I have a point, which is if I were in Japan in the eighties, and if

01:04:05.860 there were like a, you know, larger population of white people in Japan, and like, I'm seeing

01:04:09.620 them do really poorly, right?

01:04:10.820 And I'm like, well, what do I do?

01:04:11.700 Like, this is not great. 0.87

01:04:13.000 I wouldn't trust white people who are thriving in racist Japanese institutions, right?

01:04:20.800 Like, I wouldn't think that they are fighting in my best interest or really understanding 0.84

01:04:25.360 where I'm coming from, even though they're still white. 0.77

01:04:27.960 I also wouldn't trust white people who are starting like white person advocacy or like

01:04:34.920 friend, the white person friendly organizations in Japan at that time, if it wasn't yet proven.

01:04:42.100 Like, I just wouldn't trust it.

01:04:43.540 Like, I wouldn't know if it was reliable, if it was going to work out, if it was actually

01:04:46.600 going to create good, good outcomes.

01:04:48.100 I would look for white communities and white organizations and white led groups that had

01:04:54.480 been thriving in that environment for a very long time, and I would try to interact with

01:05:00.220 those communities, and I would give support to those communities.

01:05:02.660 And when I think about what that equivalent would be, like, if I try, which I can't, I

01:05:08.380 know, if I try to put myself in the shoes of a black person in the United States today,

01:05:13.780 that's not Black Lives Matter.

01:05:15.440 That's not any, anyone working within any institution that's like primarily white in the United States,

01:05:21.220 any university, whatever, unless it's a historically black university, in which case I would think 1.00

01:05:25.080 differently, it would really be church groups, like longstanding, successful church groups

01:05:31.320 that have lasted a while, that aren't brand new, that have parishioners who are thriving,

01:05:37.480 period.

01:05:38.000 Like, that's where I would go if I wanted to raise a successful family that is black in 0.89

01:05:43.440 the United States.

01:05:44.340 I disagree.

01:05:45.260 I think that you can start new organizations.

01:05:47.340 I think that there's a lot of room for this.

01:05:48.980 You can do it through church groups if you want.

01:05:50.800 But I think that the key thing is to recognize that the left is not your friend, that they

01:05:56.420 are undergoing an active genocide campaign right now, and that you actually have variable

01:06:01.560 voting pattern when you can create groups that vote to the right within communities, because

01:06:07.620 it is a vote that nobody expects to go to the right.

01:06:10.320 And so it matters a lot to politicians and stuff like that.

01:06:15.680 So I think that that's really important.

01:06:17.340 But I'd also note, like, we're just talking about other things.

01:06:19.580 And this is the interesting thing about being black in America today, is that leftists have

01:06:24.020 hidden how bad it is.

01:06:26.080 Have they?

01:06:26.760 I mean...

01:06:28.300 Oh, absolutely.

01:06:29.400 They don't make it look great.

01:06:30.800 They can only focus on things where it could plausibly be explained on white people as a

01:06:36.720 primary cause.

01:06:37.740 So, for example, leftists are never going to highlight that one of the reasons it's hard 0.85

01:06:41.480 to be black is that black people respond to your dating messages lower than they would 1.00

01:06:47.080 respond to any other ethnic group, even though they're the group you're most likely to marry. 0.98

01:06:51.300 Like, they're not going to talk about that.

01:06:52.520 They're not going to talk about the fact that, and here's a quote here, the majority black

01:06:56.060 neighborhoods have higher gun homicide rates than most white neighborhoods of the same

01:06:59.580 socioeconomic status level, according to a new study published by Juman Network, opened

01:07:04.340 by Wharton Professor Dillian Small.

01:07:07.620 So, even when you correct for income, the homicides are going to be higher in your neighborhood 0.98

01:07:12.080 if you're black. 0.97

01:07:12.900 They're not going to talk about the fact that almost all of these black women have been 0.99

01:07:16.800 brainwashed into this ultra-progressive group. 0.97

01:07:18.840 So, you as a black man are going to really struggle to find a sane woman. 0.99

01:07:22.140 And note, I'm not saying here, they're not insane because they're black. 1.00

01:07:24.660 They're insane because they're ultra-progressive. 0.97

01:07:26.160 Well, I mean, I think it's also important to note that research has found that the majority

01:07:30.340 of progressive women in general, regardless of other attributes, refuse to date conservative

01:07:38.520 men.

01:07:39.280 So, it's not, it's also like, if someone is progressive and you're a man and you're

01:07:43.420 conservative, like, odds are they're not going to date you.

01:07:47.260 It's not about sanity or insanity.

01:07:49.000 They're just from a political polarization standpoint.

01:07:51.000 Another interesting thing to note here before, if they're like, oh, well, how could we vote for

01:07:55.460 a Republican because Republicans are for increasing, like, police in areas, except, quote, most

01:08:01.280 black Americans favor maintaining or increasing local police presence or funding, according

01:08:06.520 to a recent study published by the Journal of Criminal Justice. 0.76

01:08:09.960 Surprisingly, this preference is more robust among black Americans than non-black Americans.

01:08:14.740 It holds steady regardless of challenges of changes in crime trends or information about

01:08:19.900 policing reforms.

01:08:21.060 Support.

01:08:21.740 So, they're more pro-police.

01:08:24.000 And, I guess what I would recommend and what I really fear for is two-fold on this, right?

01:08:31.700 Okay.

01:08:32.080 One, what did this start with in black?

01:08:35.820 What was the thing that started all of this degradation?

01:08:40.480 It was people advocating for, let's go to the quote of that early book, free love, communal

01:08:46.900 law and transient marriages, serial partnerships, cohabitation outside of wedlock, queer relationships. 0.58

01:08:52.140 So, Marxism.

01:08:55.920 Marxism.

01:08:56.480 That's what started this all.

01:08:58.340 And if that's growing within your community and people are telling you, oh, that's really

01:09:01.460 your culture, you need to be afraid because this is going to happen to your people as well.

01:09:06.080 So, that's the first thing I'd note is this is not like a black thing. 0.55

01:09:08.840 It's just that the black people were, frankly, economically disempowered during that period.

01:09:12.940 And so, it was easier to isolate them and, you know, peel off their most vulnerable members

01:09:19.440 and convince them that their cultural history wasn't their cultural history.

01:09:23.180 And that's something that the rest of us are all going through right now.

01:09:26.560 The second thing is that black individuals can get through this, but they need to look 1.00

01:09:32.300 to their historic culture and then put a modern spin on it.

01:09:35.300 So, what do I mean by that?

01:09:36.600 I mean, if you were not taught about your culture growing up from your family, don't

01:09:42.380 trust the schools to teach it to you.

01:09:44.400 Go to your grandparents if you're a black person or go to elders within your local community 0.99

01:09:49.300 and ask, how were you disciplined as a child? 0.73

01:09:52.720 How did you find a partner as a child?

01:09:55.060 How did this community used to think about the value of marriage?

01:09:58.540 One thing I would appreciate maybe not asking is what they used to think of Jews because

01:10:03.800 I'm trying to lower that.

01:10:05.260 Well, we haven't even touched on the nation of Islam, which is this huge, like, what the

01:10:09.700 happened there?

01:10:10.580 Well, this is a part of historic black culture that people are not going to talk about.

01:10:13.280 It's incredibly anti-Semitic.

01:10:15.040 Specifically, there was a study, Schindler, 1984, that 42% of blacks said, as opposed to

01:10:22.420 20% of whites, quote, Jews have too much power in the United States, end quote. 0.70

01:10:26.360 And a study in the 1970s, 73% of blacks in the 70s, as opposed to 35% of whites, 50 and

01:10:35.000 older, scored as high as possible on the index of anti-Semitism.

01:10:39.300 That makes sense in a world in which you see your ethnic group being systematically disadvantaged

01:10:48.100 and you happen to see that so many of the people disproportionately in power are Jewish.

01:10:53.900 Like, aren't you going to start getting worse? 0.91

01:10:56.380 81% in 1978, this was of a survey of, quote, unquote, black leaders said that, quote, Jews 0.82

01:11:03.000 choose money over people, end quote.

01:11:05.760 I'm just saying maybe let's not bring back the anti-Semitism.

01:11:09.100 But I, well, what I would say is the base takes that I have seen from black community 0.98

01:11:13.040 members, like, who's the guy who everyone thinks is crazy, who had all those base takes

01:11:17.480 and was pro-Trump?

01:11:18.520 Oh, Kanye.

01:11:19.800 Kanye.

01:11:20.240 He also tried to bring back the anti-Semitic aspect.

01:11:23.260 And I think that that's not, I think that you're right.

01:11:26.020 It's not intrinsic.

01:11:27.220 And that it's not, like, necessarily something that needs to be tied to it.

01:11:30.520 Well, I just think that any group that is systemically disadvantaged and any group that's

01:11:34.480 just average is going to be a little bit suspicious of any other group that's disproportionately in

01:11:39.660 a position of power, like, vis-a-vis their general population representation.

01:11:43.800 Like, it's very easy to form conspiracy theories around that.

01:11:46.320 And we've had, you know, detailed discussion about this.

01:11:48.700 Actually, an interesting part of traditional black culture is that it was very pro-conspiracy 1.00

01:11:51.780 theory.

01:11:52.780 Aha! 0.94

01:11:53.680 The computer! 0.99

01:11:55.500 Another idea stolen from the black man. 1.00

01:11:58.720 Did y'all know that George Washington Carver made the first computer out of a peanut? 0.95

01:12:02.960 Huh?

01:12:03.380 Peanut?

01:12:04.080 A peanut!

01:12:04.880 Like, they were very conspiratorial and not trusting for good reason.

01:12:09.700 Like, you look at, like, the, oh God, the Tuskegee experiments or other things like that.

01:12:13.640 Yeah, like, every reason to be.

01:12:15.100 They had every right to be conspiratorial in their mindset.

01:12:18.960 Give me my money.

01:12:19.920 Yeah?

01:12:20.240 My money.

01:12:21.100 I don't care whose bank it is.

01:12:22.440 Right.

01:12:22.740 I know whose money's in it.

01:12:23.980 Right?

01:12:24.380 No, I'm keeping it real.

01:12:25.680 That's all I'm saying.

01:12:26.940 High conspiracy, brother.

01:12:28.000 High.

01:12:28.800 What do you mean high?

01:12:29.760 Like, high yellow wannabe white?

01:12:31.420 Huh?

01:12:32.020 High like the white man wants to keep us?

01:12:33.680 Huh?

01:12:34.320 High.

01:12:36.120 You ain't smell no weed on me, did you?

01:12:37.760 And I think that that's a part of Black culture that still exists within the more, when I talk

01:12:43.900 with my, like, more conservative, traditionalist Black friends, they're, like, super conspiratorial 1.00

01:12:48.740 and it's kind of fun because it's also part of, like, Protestant culture or, like, white

01:12:52.700 Protestant culture.

01:12:53.060 The only other place where we've seen more conspiratorial stuff is, like, conservative

01:12:57.640 conferences.

01:12:58.220 But not, not old guard conservative conferences, new guard conservative conferences.

01:13:04.920 Actually, yeah, I would encourage, like, Black people who, like, are uncertain about 0.97

01:13:10.160 how accepted they will be within conservative groups, I'd really recommend they check them.

01:13:16.120 Like, just try going to one of the conferences.

01:13:19.960 Everyone I know- 0.97

01:13:20.780 Yeah, you'll expect to go finding a bunch of racist white nationalists and you'll end up

01:13:24.540 finding a bunch of extremely welcoming people who are, like, haven't you heard about the 0.54

01:13:29.280 injections of the trans-human modules into your blood veins by the vaccine? 0.91

01:13:35.460 I just completely demonetized this video with that, didn't I?

01:13:38.460 I wish you could-

01:13:39.140 Well, by then, we'll cut out the, the end part there, but yeah.

01:13:44.040 No, that has been my experience.

01:13:46.000 It's been really, really fun.

01:13:47.300 Sorry.

01:13:48.960 What do you want for dinner?

01:13:49.900 Or, or do you have a final statement about this?

01:13:55.100 Like, in, in some.

01:13:57.540 No, in, in some, it's mortifying that this happened.

01:14:02.340 And I think that so many people who are sort of, like, HBD bros and stuff like that, they'll

01:14:08.640 point to all these crime statistics.

01:14:10.180 And, okay, there may be other cultural things at play here, but I think the vast majority

01:14:16.300 of this is caused by the fact that 70% of black kids are born to single parents, when

01:14:21.640 it used to be, like, about half the rate of white kids.

01:14:25.320 And that culturally, they were destroyed and steamrolled, but that doesn't need to be persistent.

01:14:32.760 That there is a coming back from this.

01:14:34.200 It just revolves sort of finding the scattered troops that are still tied to the original

01:14:40.740 culture, bringing them together, and then building better barriers for the next generation.

01:14:46.420 So, if this were a game of Clue, it was the urban monoculture in the 70s with.

01:14:54.540 Rap.

01:14:55.560 And I know that's so classic conservative, but, like, I just, it fits so well.

01:15:00.680 Oh, and are we going to hell for doing this, for raw-dogging this?

01:15:07.500 Yeah, we are.

01:15:08.380 Yeah, for raw-dogging this episode, this was a, this was a dangerous move.

01:15:12.340 But I think that most, like, black people who aren't brainwashed who watch this would

01:15:16.320 be like, yeah, this is true. 0.99

01:15:18.260 We're screwed anyway.

01:15:19.580 I, for, for some political campaign test ads, because, you know, we're using our podcast

01:15:26.280 as a means of people getting to know me as a candidate.

01:15:28.380 I, I linked to our, our, our bears video.

01:15:32.860 Yeah.

01:15:33.560 Because it's a really good one.

01:15:35.060 And I'm like, they should get the good stuff.

01:15:37.460 One woman commented, like, are you serious?

01:15:40.240 Are you really running for office?

01:15:41.860 You're alienating yourself instantly from 50% of the population.

01:15:45.620 Because the title is, are women dangerous? 0.99

01:15:47.560 And I'm like, yeah, I know.

01:15:50.760 Like, we're never, we're never going to be able to see something run for office.

01:15:54.520 I think, I think it will convince more people than you think it will.

01:15:58.740 Things that create that sort of emotional reaction, they get people to think.

01:16:03.380 That's, that was my thought, you know, but.

01:16:06.040 But why did you choose the bears video?

01:16:08.040 That's for men only. 0.99

01:16:09.340 I hope you tagged it men only.

01:16:11.500 No.

01:16:12.900 You shouldn't do that.

01:16:13.900 I think that offended women would watch it. 1.00

01:16:16.300 That was my hope.

01:16:17.160 We'll see.

01:16:17.800 No, they won't.

01:16:19.160 I'll chip it then. 1.00

01:16:21.560 You terrible woman. 1.00

01:16:23.060 I love you. 0.99

01:16:23.580 What do you want for dinner?

01:16:25.320 I don't know.

01:16:26.100 Something.

01:16:26.740 Oh, yes.

01:16:27.320 I need to get rid of the meat.

01:16:28.740 So the meat.

01:16:30.540 Oh, yes.

01:16:31.140 Right.

01:16:31.340 I'm doing that.

01:16:32.120 Now, do you want it with Mexican street corn or with fried rice?

01:16:35.540 Let's do Mexican street corn. 0.99

01:16:37.380 I think that'll be fun.

01:16:39.220 All right.

01:16:40.200 We're on.

01:16:40.900 I love you.

01:16:41.280 If you would get the kids when 5 p.m. rolls around, I'll get dinner ready.

01:16:44.800 Sound good?

01:16:45.780 All right.

01:16:46.200 Bye.

01:16:46.840 Bye.

01:16:49.480 Oops.

01:16:50.160 I'm there.

01:16:51.540 Before we start.

01:16:52.500 Yeah.

01:16:53.580 You remember the graphs I showed you last time?

01:16:57.240 You need to look shocked as if I'm showing you them again this time.

01:17:00.600 Okay.

01:17:01.500 Hi.

01:17:04.220 That's the way it works.

01:17:05.420 And you go.

01:17:06.140 Oh, dear.

01:17:07.360 I wish I could record that and make it a ringtone.

01:17:21.140 You've got to include the little racist side thing.

01:17:24.380 Oh, you know, you just sound like Princess Peach. 1.00

01:17:30.540 And she is supplanted from her car.

01:17:33.720 Oh, no.

01:17:36.360 Who did you play in Mario Karts?

01:17:39.620 Who did I play?

01:17:40.720 Yeah.

01:17:41.900 Well, I'm more familiar with the more recent one.

01:17:45.020 I like the metal characters because I like the weight that they have.

01:17:48.600 No, no, no.

01:17:49.140 We're talking our childhoods.

01:17:52.520 Like the last time I ever played video games.

01:17:55.420 You never chose, like, you just would go with a different one each time?

01:17:59.800 Yeah, I guess.

01:18:00.760 Variety.

01:18:01.240 You know me.

01:18:02.020 Okay.

01:18:02.280 Which one was I always?

01:18:03.960 In terms of speech, I would guess?

01:18:05.360 Or Bowser?

01:18:06.440 No.

01:18:08.840 Really?

01:18:09.640 Okay.

01:18:10.540 Daisy?

01:18:11.440 No.

01:18:13.760 The mushroom?

01:18:14.320 Yoshi.

01:18:14.940 Yoshi.

01:18:15.860 Oh, Yoshi is the best.

01:18:17.520 Yoshi is amazing.

01:18:19.340 He would make this sound.

01:18:20.900 Sounded like a Haktoa.

01:18:23.700 He was the original Haktoa.

01:18:26.940 Yoshi.

01:18:28.760 Great, great character to play.

01:18:32.960 All right.

01:18:34.000 Let's do it.
