Juno News - Critical Race Theory is not a conspiracy. It’s real and it’s here in Canada.

00:00:00.240 Critical race theory is not a conspiracy theory and it's not just something that happens in the US.

00:00:05.600 It's here in Canada, in our classrooms, being taught to our children. Canadians need to know

00:00:10.720 about this and they must remain vigilant against this threat. I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The

00:00:15.360 Candice Malcolm Show. Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. Now you know that at True

00:00:24.720 North we focus a lot on the sort of woke left and the menace and the threat they pose to our

00:00:29.840 society. They are radical. The things that they believe are against, they're fundamentally against

00:00:36.960 the foundations of a free society and there's so many problems that arise from that. Our

00:00:42.560 own Sue Ann Levy, reporter with True North, has been on the front lines of reporting this issue

00:00:47.680 in the various school districts. But today I wanted to take a step back and try to wrap our heads around

00:00:53.600 what exactly this word means. It's sort of a buzzword, critical race theory. You hear about it a lot in

00:00:58.560 the US, not so much in Canada, but it is very much here. It is very much present and we see it in so

00:01:05.040 many of the different strange policies that are coming out specifically in Ontario but frankly all

00:01:09.920 across the country. So I'm very pleased today to be joined by Samuel Say. Samuel is a scholar and

00:01:15.760 writer based in Brampton, Ontario. He founded the website slow2write.com and has covered numerous issues

00:01:22.320 with biblical theory relating to race, culture, and politics. Samuel has been published on The Daily

00:01:27.840 Wire, TheBlaze.com, The Christian Post, and many more. So Samuel, thank you so much for joining the

00:01:33.040 Candace Malcolm Show. It's great to have you back. Thank you for having me back again. I appreciate it.

00:01:37.920 So I know we've had you on the show before and there's a lot of different things that you write

00:01:42.240 about, but I think the thing that you are most known for, the thing that I first learned about your

00:01:46.480 writing and first read your work was on critical race theory. And so I'm hoping that you could just

00:01:52.560 help us understand because it's sort of a buzzword, it's sort of an academic word or phrase that

00:01:59.120 many people just aren't really familiar with. So can you just, for someone who's never heard of it

00:02:03.200 before, has no idea what it is, can you walk us through what this theory is and what it tries to do?

00:02:08.880 Yeah. Yeah. As you mentioned, some suggest that critical race theory is this conspiracy

00:02:15.200 theory that the conservatives or the right are trying to use against the dual cleft, but it's

00:02:22.320 not true. It really is a very popular ideology and philosophy within our culture. Essentially, if you've

00:02:29.520 heard of things like white privilege, systemic racism, you know, equity, those are all related to

00:02:36.560 critical race theory. Essentially, critical race theory is originally from legal scholars in America.

00:02:44.880 It was people like Derrick Bell or Kimberly Crenshaw are the founders of critical race theory. It was

00:02:50.640 started in the 70s as a reaction to the civil rights movement, actually. They believe that the civil

00:02:56.000 rights movement was not good enough. The civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. taught on 0.68

00:03:02.240 being impartial. It taught on, you know, really affirming Western values of impartiality. And they say, no,

00:03:09.600 impartiality is actually an illusion. It's actually racist. So, which is why, for example, they oftentimes

00:03:16.640 talk about colorblindness being a myth and really racism. So, they really much hate colorblindness.

00:03:23.760 Now, I will mention a quote from Ibram Kendi, who is... And sorry, when you say colorblindness, you don't

00:03:28.960 mean literal colorblindness, right? You mean that in a metaphorical sense, correct? Of course. Yeah. I mean,

00:03:34.800 yeah, so critical race theories try to make it seem as if, when we talk about being colorblind,

00:03:38.640 um, that we're trying to say that, no, no, we don't see color. Well, that's ridiculous,

00:03:41.520 right? Of course we see color. What we're saying is we're repeating what Martin Luther King Jr.

00:03:45.200 believed, which is that we don't judge people based on their skin color, but on their character.

00:03:49.920 But they hate that because they do believe that we should treat people based on their skin color.

00:03:53.840 So, Ibram Kendi, um, who, as I mentioned, is the leading scholar, uh, on critical race theory,

00:03:59.600 alongside Robin DiAngelo, um, he mentioned in his book, How to Be an Antiracist, that, um, that racism

00:04:06.480 is only wrong if it leads to inequity. But racism, or in his exact words, racial discrimination,

00:04:13.520 is good if it leads to equity, right? And he says that, um, past discrimination has to be met with

00:04:20.400 present or future discrimination. These are his exact words from his book, How to Be an Antiracist,

00:04:25.360 which I call How to Be a Racist. Um, so, you know, so critical race theory really is teaching that

00:04:30.880 discrimination against people, really against white people, to bring about equity, which is,

00:04:36.320 equity sounds like equality. And in the past, it was synonymous with equality. But within critical

00:04:42.240 race theory, what it really means is equality of outcome between ethnic or racial groups. So now,

00:04:48.560 just to kind of bring it all home, critical race theory basically is saying that, uh, Western

00:04:53.440 society, America, Canada, um, uh, is fundamentally, uh, designed by white supremacists for white people.

00:05:02.720 And that because of that, it will always, and Derrick Bell says this, that America will always be

00:05:07.840 racist. It will always be oppressed towards black people, always. He says that the only, the whole point

00:05:12.800 of trying to be anti-racist is to, is to try to minimize that, but that America, as it stands,

00:05:18.560 and by extension, Canada, as it stands, our values, uh, are racist systemically and culturally.

00:05:24.640 Therefore, in their minds, we need a revolution against these systems to destroy the system, to

00:05:29.680 abolish the systems that we have, the prisons, uh, the police, uh, everything, um, in order for us to have

00:05:36.560 a equitable or anti-racist society. I mean, there's so many things you can say about, about this

00:05:43.120 worldview. In some ways, it's, it's devastating because if you buy into this theory in, in, in so

00:05:48.800 many schools, as we'll talk about, so many schools in the US and Canada already have, and they teach

00:05:53.040 in critical race theory today. I mean, if that's your view, that no matter what we do, and no matter

00:05:58.240 how hard we try, and no matter how tolerant we become of one another, how much we learn from one

00:06:02.400 another, how much we try to improve and constantly strive, right? The, the, the beauty of what Martin,

00:06:07.200 Martin Luther King taught was that he, he, he believed that the American ideals were just

00:06:13.040 and righteous, and that we needed to work harder to live up to those ideals. And those were the

00:06:17.520 ideals that he wanted us all to share in together, um, US and Canada by extension. Uh, whereas the way,

00:06:23.920 the way that these people view the world, it's, it's like, it doesn't matter what we do. Uh, we're all

00:06:27.920 racist and, um, not, you know, the, the, the idea is that we have to start again. And it's like,

00:06:33.280 what is that going to look like? Right? Like when it comes to equity, Samuel, uh, I, I didn't really

00:06:38.320 know what they were talking about at first, because when I think of equity, I think of, you know, the

00:06:41.440 value of your home or something like that, like a financial, uh, term, but they're talking about equity

00:06:46.720 as opposed to, um, equality. And they, and they had these, these like handy little, uh, picture graphics,

00:06:52.400 and we can throw one up on the screen. And, and, and it's like, so simplistic. It's like,

00:06:56.160 Oh wow. Okay. Equality is like these two kids on a ladder, one's tall, so they can't see over the

00:07:00.880 fence and the other one, uh, you know, all we have to do is give that second kid a taller ladder.

00:07:05.600 And it's like, it, you know, they make it seem like it's so simple, right? All we have to do is

00:07:09.360 just provide these taller ladders for these kids. But it's like, that's, that's not a real solution.

00:07:13.680 Like what, what you're actually talking about, your point is equality of outcome. So, so, so someone

00:07:18.480 in micromanaging every aspect of our life to say, like, it doesn't matter if you're, uh, you know, not as,

00:07:24.640 not as, uh, not as hardworking or not as competent or not as capable or not as intelligent. We don't

00:07:29.440 want everyone to have equal outcome. And then, and that's starting to feel a lot more like communism.

00:07:34.560 So I just, I just wonder like what, um, you know, what, what, what is it that critical race theorists

00:07:39.840 are trying to accomplish? Yeah. It's really as simple as you said, it's communism. Um, when the,

00:07:45.360 the graphics we mentioned, which I'm sure we'll talk about this, but it's actually being shared

00:07:49.520 across kids as early as kindergarten, that graphics that you mentioned in Ontario.

00:07:54.160 Well, it looks like it's designed for kids, right? It's, it's super, it's like cartoony,

00:07:57.280 kid friendly. Whenever I see it on social media and they share it all the time, people on the lab,

00:08:01.280 it's like, it's so simple. It's like, oh yeah, don't we all just want to live in a world where

00:08:04.800 everyone can see over the fence, right? Exactly. Exactly. Uh, but it really is, as you said,

00:08:10.240 that it's really communism, um, equity, um, the way to understand it is really borrowed

00:08:15.280 from the Marxist concept of, you know, of equality of outcome for all people. Um, and in fact, when

00:08:20.720 you, when you, when we hear the word woke, which is associated with critical race theory,

00:08:24.160 it's really a modern version of class consciousness, uh, to be woke is that the oppressed has become

00:08:30.560 conscious of their oppression, but that's really what it means to be woke. And, uh, so critical race 0.76

00:08:35.920 theory, what they do want is they, they believe that all non-white people are oppressed. Therefore,

00:08:42.000 they want to make all non-white people woke or conscious to their oppression. And then to advocate 0.94

00:08:48.320 to changing all the systems, these good systems that I, as an immigrant, um, left, uh, my country

00:08:53.760 with my mom to come to Canada to, to be privileged, um, in, in these good systems, capitalists, capitalist,

00:09:01.200 free, impartial, uh, systems that we have in Canada. Um, they want to abolish all of that so that in

00:09:08.480 their mind, people like me, um, can become, um, you know, a beneficiary of, of, uh, discriminating

00:09:14.960 against white people and taking some of the, some of their, um, you know, their wealth and things

00:09:19.600 that they've been accumulating, um, um, themselves and give it to me as some, um, evil form of justice

00:09:27.920 in their mind. Well, I mean, it's like, it's, it's, it's, it's, again, it's hard to wrap your head

00:09:33.920 around what they, what they actually want. Um, because like you say, the end, the end outcome

00:09:38.320 looks pretty, uh, nefarious. And, and to your point, you know, people do move from all over the

00:09:43.520 world to come to Canada because they see it as a free and fair society. Uh, I remember during the

00:09:49.120 George Floyd riots, Samuel, we saw a lot of articles in Canada, um, talking kind of almost like trying to,

00:09:55.440 it's like they had, they had like envy, like looking at the U S system where there is police brutality

00:09:59.760 and there is a lot of disparity between some black communities in the mainstream. Um, and it was

00:10:05.360 like the Canadians were trying to show how bad things were here too. And I remember seeing some

00:10:09.440 articles, uh, you know, talking about how, how black people fared in Canada. And I remember looking at

00:10:14.160 the data myself thinking like, this is actually amazing. Like, like I think it's 50%, 56% of the

00:10:20.560 black population in Canada are first generation immigrants, meaning that they, they themselves or

00:10:24.640 their parents chose Canada. You know, how bad of a place can Canada actually be if all these people 1.00

00:10:29.600 are choosing to come here. And then even out of that, um, when you looked at the incomes, you know,

00:10:33.280 relative to other immigrants, relative to the Canadian average, it was like, is these communities

00:10:38.000 are doing pretty, pretty good. We should be, we should be happy about that. Obviously we should

00:10:41.760 strive to make sure that everyone has opportunities, but it's just sort of to meet what they're teaching,

00:10:47.600 what fundamentally what they're teaching is to, to little black children out there, uh, that no

00:10:52.720 matter how hard they try, no matter how smart they are, no matter how intelligent they are,

00:10:56.400 how hard they work. Um, they're never going to be successful. And, and then they're teaching

00:11:00.160 little white kids that, that there's something wrong with them, that they're inherently oppressive 0.71

00:11:04.080 and, and that their society is, is evil. And that, that like, you know, it's like, no, no one,

00:11:09.760 no one can benefit from this. It's such a, it's such a poisonous thing to teach to little kids. I,

00:11:14.320 I wonder how, how did this creep into our schools, Samuel, where did this come from? And, and, and,

00:11:18.640 and what could parents do, um, when, when they hear about this kind of stuff?

00:11:22.800 Yeah. Um, so it's, so, and, um, I've done some, of course, uh, research on this stuff and critical

00:11:29.680 race theory has been, um, part of America, uh, kind of a school system, at least in the university

00:11:35.040 or college level since the nineties. Um, I mean, a lot of the top, uh, even to this day, uh, but since

00:11:40.960 from the nineties, a lot of the top, um, um, law schools in Canada have been teaching critical race

00:11:45.360 theory for some time. It'll, so even though critical race theory just became, uh, part of the

00:11:50.000 Canadian, um, I guess consciousness over the last five years or so, it's been around for a long time.

00:11:56.000 And it wasn't really till the black lives matter riots, um, not last year actually, but in, uh,

00:12:02.000 2015, 2014, uh, with Michael Brown and Ferguson, that you started seeing a huge push in America and

00:12:09.120 in Canada for critical race theory at a mainstream level, uh, for children as early as kindergarten.

00:12:14.320 Um, so, so it's been around for a long time and it was so, and it's usually police brutality,

00:12:20.640 or at least accusations of police brutality that leads to, um, these, these ideas becoming more

00:12:26.560 accepted, but for parents, uh, one of the things they need to do, and I've seen many of this, um,

00:12:31.360 happening is that parents just need to call their schools, call their local school boards and just

00:12:36.720 ask them, um, about the curriculum. They will be shocked that the vast majority of schools in Canada,

00:12:42.880 and I really do mean in Canada, I don't know, I don't just mean Ontario, I mean Canada as a whole,

00:12:47.440 are teaching critical race theory. I've had parents reaching out to me from every single

00:12:51.920 province in this country saying that, um, they've asked their school, uh, what is being taught, um,

00:12:57.360 um, to the, to the, to the children and, uh, some of them will deny it, but in their words,

00:13:02.160 it's pretty obvious they're teaching, teaching critical race theory, including Christian schools

00:13:05.680 or Catholic schools. So if even these schools between critical race theory, you can only

00:13:10.000 imagine what's being taught to your children at public schools. Well, I remember a couple years

00:13:15.280 ago, Jordan Peterson sort of advising parents in one of his videos, like, tell your kids that if

00:13:20.960 they hear the teacher talk about things like white privilege, uh, your child should get up and walk

00:13:25.760 out of the classroom. That, that was what he advised. And I, I don't know if parents are doing that now,

00:13:29.840 but we've got a bunch of examples of, of CRT in schools. So Ottawa is debating whether or not to

00:13:35.760 ban the singing of Oh Canada in schools, because they say it's oppressive. Uh, Lord of the Flies,

00:13:40.640 the book was removed from schools in Ottawa, um, an anti-black agenda. And, and I put that in,

00:13:45.680 in quotations because this is the thing that, that, that these people do, you know, they call themselves

00:13:50.080 anti-racist, they call themselves anti-black. And then if you oppose them, it's like, well, then you

00:13:54.400 must be racist and you must be anti-black because they're anti-black racist, but, but, but that,

00:13:58.640 that's what their agenda is. They're being pushed in Hamilton. And then we saw that the crazy story of

00:14:03.200 waiting, weighted voting. I don't know if you saw this out in Halton, where depending on your skin

00:14:07.520 color, your vote is worth more on, on school boards. Um, you know, I think this is the kind of

00:14:12.960 thing that parents would, would, would just be kind of outraged. Oh, another one. Someone sent me this

00:14:17.760 the other day, cause I've got a little baby and someone sent me that, uh, there's a book out called

00:14:22.160 the anti-racist baby by Amber X. Kennedy. And I, I flipped through it. It's interesting because, uh,

00:14:28.960 you know, it's, it's a number one New York times bestseller, um, sort of trying to indoctrinate

00:14:32.640 babies, uh, read this to little kids about how they live in a racist world. Um, but, but I did like

00:14:37.760 how the, the, the ratings, the Google review ratings of this book is 13% of people like this. So even

00:14:43.840 though, you know, it's the New York times talk of the town bestseller, uh, when it comes to actual

00:14:48.000 parents reading this kind of stuff, being like, why would I, why would I read this to my baby? Like,

00:14:52.160 it's so wild. I, I have that book. Uh, I bought that book because it really, so, so I mentioned

00:14:58.720 Abraham Kennedy's book, how to be an anti-racist. Well, that's the kid's, that's the kid's version

00:15:02.960 of that. And that book, I kid you not, is being read across all Ontario to kindergarten, um, students.

00:15:09.680 So again, and this is all, um, I've received internal documents from teachers, uh, in Peel

00:15:15.200 and in Toronto who are telling me this, that they're being compelled to read that book, which is

00:15:19.440 teaching kids, it's teaching, especially white kids, that they are racist and they need to accept 0.83

00:15:24.560 this and then be an ally with black people or non, uh, non-white people. So it's wild. So, uh, like, 0.90

00:15:32.800 do you think this, this idea is popular? Because so many of the people I see pushing this,

00:15:36.160 to be completely honest, aren't, are not black people. You know, it's, it's, it's white people. 0.89

00:15:39.920 It's, it's sort of white guilt kind of thing that people feel like this is what they must do. It's

00:15:43.920 the latest trendy iteration of leftist ideology. Do you think this idea resonates that the idea that,

00:15:49.920 that, that people, um, who aren't white need to be woke and fight back against the system?

00:15:54.960 And then also in the U S this has become a huge issue. It's, it's become a public debate. And yes,

00:16:00.080 a lot of people say it's a Republican conspiracy theory, but we, we've actually seen

00:16:04.560 states ban the teaching in, in the U S. Do you think there's any, anything like that coming

00:16:10.000 in Canada? Do you think there's any, any political leader or, or any political movement out there to

00:16:15.040 say, Hey, we don't want this stuff at our schools in Canada either. Unfortunately, uh, no, I don't see

00:16:19.760 that at all. Uh, because so, so I've said this actually, and it shocks many people, but critical

00:16:25.520 race theory is just as popular here as it is, or as it is in America, if not more popular. Uh, the reason

00:16:31.840 I say it's more popular is because in the U S you actually have some pushback, um, against it over

00:16:36.560 here. We don't have a lot at all. I know you guys have been fighting against it. I know that, um,

00:16:40.800 some conservatives are against it, but the, the, the, the mainstream conservative movement here is

00:16:46.800 not fighting against at all. In fact, I know some politicians, um, some of the conservative, um,

00:16:52.000 politicians have pushed critical race theory and have been saying, um, some of these ideas on social

00:16:56.320 media and on their platforms. So, uh, unfortunately I don't see anything that happened. I would be very

00:17:01.040 glad to see that, but it would be a huge shock to me. Um, you know, so, uh, that's, yeah, so it's

00:17:07.360 unfortunate in that case, but I don't see that changing. Right. Well, I mean, a lot of this is

00:17:12.080 happening in Ontario, which is currently run by an progressive conservative government, but what about

00:17:17.360 the, the idea that, that this is sort of designed to, um, you know, the class consciousness and awaken,

00:17:23.520 um, people of other, of other races to sort of what revolt against the system. Do you think

00:17:28.000 that that's having an impact? Do you think that it's, uh, you know, it's, it's sort of designed,

00:17:32.640 um, to tempt, you wrote this once that critical race theory is a sinful ideology that can tempt people

00:17:38.080 like me, people who reject critical race theory to sin. So, so, so it's designed to tempt people like

00:17:43.600 you. Um, do you think it's working? Do you think that, that it is a lot of new Canadians or people who

00:17:48.080 aren't white, uh, that, that, that, that buy into this ideology and, and that it guides them?

00:17:52.880 Absolutely. You mentioned earlier about the first generation Canadians. It's not tempting them at all.

00:17:58.080 Um, but the second generation, um, Canadians are absolutely being tempted by it. I know many,

00:18:03.120 many, most of my friends have embraced critical race theory. It's influencing how they view other

00:18:07.840 Canadians. No doubt about it. Uh, there was a poll, uh, last year, um, that said that 54% of Canadians

00:18:14.240 believe that Canada is systemically racist. That's actually the same number as it is in America.

00:18:19.920 Um, so, so that, that includes of course, uh, black Canadians, immigrant Canadians and white Canadians.

00:18:25.840 Um, now the most, uh, the most vocal people for critical race theory in America and Canada

00:18:31.680 happens to be white women. Um, and that's because I think a lot of white women are, um, you know, 1.00

00:18:37.520 are influenced by Robin DiAngelo, who is a white woman, uh, who is next to Abraham Kennedy,

00:18:41.920 the biggest voice on critical race theory right now, but also, uh, white guilt tends to be very

00:18:47.120 appealing to white women, um, who feel basically bad about being white and believe that, well, 0.98

00:18:52.720 they can become, they can be, um, they can be seen as, you know, the better white people,

00:18:58.320 if they would just, you know, be an advocate, um, for, for black people, but really it's just pride.

00:19:03.520 It's just arrogance. It's just virtue signaling. And they're not really considering what they're

00:19:07.040 really saying. Many of them are becoming more racist against their parents. Um, but they're not

00:19:11.840 really understanding that they're really being racist. They just think that they're being anti-racist.

00:19:17.040 Well, and we've seen this so often that so many, so often the most racist people are the sort of

00:19:22.160 woke leftist white people who preach about it. I mean, someone like Justin Trudeau, who talks a

00:19:28.240 good game about diversity and then in his own private life, he likes to, uh, you know, paint his

00:19:33.360 face black and go out and celebrate that way. Like, uh, or, or, you know, when you're talking about the, 0.89

00:19:38.320 the white women, I don't know if you ever saw this. There's a, I think it was in the New York

00:19:41.680 times. There's a story about how, um, these women would organize like really expensive dinner parties 1.00

00:19:46.640 and they'd hire one of these ladies to come and give a seminar basically where they could like air 1.00

00:19:52.080 their, their racist thoughts and, and, and, and learn about how they're actually racist. And there's

00:19:56.320 one woman who, who was actually, uh, an adoptive parent and she had adopted a child who's black.

00:20:02.160 And the whole idea was that even though she has her own black child, that is racist. It 0.63

00:20:07.040 is racist, um, to adopt someone from a different race and to love them as a child, which, you know,

00:20:12.880 it's like, how, how far have we gone in this, in this, in this ideology where everything is about

00:20:18.480 race, every, like, like that's all that matters. Nothing else matters. Your character, your qualities,

00:20:24.480 what you, how you live your life, how, how you act in the world, your day-to-day, uh, you know,

00:20:29.760 virtues, none of it matters. The only thing that matters is, is your skin color, which to me seems 0.96

00:20:34.560 like racist. It seems regressive. And, and, and I think that that, that that's how I would describe

00:20:39.760 this whole movement. Yeah. I'll, I'll tell you, I think, you know, our society, we've, we've suggested

00:20:46.000 that racism or being anti-racist is, um, the most important thing you can be in this world. Therefore,

00:20:54.000 that means that they're telling people that the best way for them to feel good about themselves

00:20:58.080 is to be anti-racist, which includes lying to themselves about being racist when they're not.

00:21:02.560 Um, the vast majority of all these people are not at least traditionally racist. They've become

00:21:07.360 racist by embracing, uh, critical race theory and anti-racism, but originally they weren't. And

00:21:12.240 that's, that's a scary thing. I, I've been seeing, um, if I told you the number of people who've called

00:21:16.720 me an uncle Tom or a coon, um, and mostly from white people, you'd be shocked by it. It's almost a daily 1.00

00:21:22.800 occurrence on social media and sometimes in person, but I'm a big guy. So that's, that's,

00:21:27.040 that's rare. But for the most part, it's online. And, um, and it's, it's mostly coming from white

00:21:33.440 people and it's, it's quite shocking. Um, it's, it's not being shocking now, but it's alarming when

00:21:39.280 white people are telling me in racist terms, how much they love black people more than I do. Um,

00:21:44.240 but that's what critical race theory is doing.

00:21:45.760 Well, I'm sorry to hear that. It's despicable. And I, I mean, I, I can say that I've seen it too,

00:21:51.440 uh, online and, and, and in the other way, you know, all these men who claim to be feminists and 0.87

00:21:55.840 claim to want more women in power, uh, you know, as soon as they don't agree with you, 1.00

00:21:59.040 they're, they're more than happy to call you really disgusting names and, and denigrate you.

00:22:03.920 Well, you know, I, I, I feel like one of the things that conservatives need to do to fight

00:22:08.240 against critical race theory is come up with our own kind of narrative. Like this idea that

00:22:13.440 no, Canada isn't an irredeemably racist country. Yes, we've had our own history and we've had ups and

00:22:17.760 downs. There've been bad, bad actors and good actors and, and, and bad initiatives and good initiatives.

00:22:23.120 But, you know, at the end of the day, we should celebrate what we have in common,

00:22:27.520 the things we've done right and strive to, to, to be better. So what, what, what do you think that,

00:22:32.320 that conservatives and not even conservatives per se, but just people who reject this sort of race,

00:22:37.120 racist, um, obsession that, that is going on, um, race exception with critical race theory.

00:22:43.440 What, what, what do you think that we can do, um, to fight back against this dangerous trend? And what,

00:22:47.280 what do you think a better narrative that we can be telling, uh, little kids about our society would be?

00:22:52.320 A big part is what you already, uh, referenced, which is this, um, you know, my, my, my tribe,

00:22:58.320 I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm Fanti, uh, in Ghana and we were, uh, many of my distant relatives were

00:23:03.280 taking our slaves, including people who have my, my last name. Um, I, I saw a slave ship with people, 0.86

00:23:09.840 uh, with my last name say, um, on it, and these would be my distant relatives. So, um, they were taking over,

00:23:16.400 by force over the Atlantic, um, into the, into the new world. I see that. And then I see me many years ago,

00:23:24.240 um, willingly happily with my mom flying over the Atlantic, uh, to come to this great country. And that,

00:23:31.200 that's a gap of 200 years where not people Africans were being forced out of their homes into this new

00:23:36.800 world and then over the Atlantic. And now we are willingly very glad to leave everything we,

00:23:43.840 we love and, um, you know, in our original nations to come to Canada. That's, that's what's happened.

00:23:50.400 And critical race theory is, is, is, is trying to destroy that. It's trying to say that, no,

00:23:55.680 Canada is still racist. Canada has always been racist and Canada will always be racist. And that's

00:24:00.000 wrong. Um, that is destroying, uh, peace between people, uh, in our nation. And that's not good.

00:24:05.680 Uh, Canada talks about how diverse we are. Well, this diversity is going to be destroyed. Um, if we 1.00

00:24:11.680 embrace critical race theory, which is teaching us that, well, Canada is always going to be racist and

00:24:17.040 therefore we need to be discriminated against white people. Well, I couldn't have said it any better 1.00

00:24:23.760 myself. That's that was so, um, eloquent and you're right. They, they tried to erase 200 years of progress

00:24:28.880 and say that we're just as bad as, as it was back then today. Well, uh, same say, thank you so much

00:24:34.080 for joining the show is really helpful. Um, really clear to help, uh, to have you break everything

00:24:38.560 down for us. So thank you so much for joining us. Okay. Thank you so much for tuning in.
