00:00:00.000 If you think that a person's color of their skin and where they come from on planet Earth somehow makes any difference in their ability to be a human being and that we all have the same innate value, you've got some racial issues going on there.
00:00:19.160 If you're a black person and you see a white person and you automatically make all of these assumptions on them because of the color of their skin, that is racist in the same way if you are a white person and you see a black person, you make all of these assumptions on who they are as a human being because of the color of their skin, you are a racist.
00:00:37.440 Well, and I remember when I was younger, I actually, I felt guilty when I was a kid for like being, because they would always be like, oh, rich white people.
00:00:44.740 And I'm like, well, that's where, you know what I mean?
00:00:48.040 Like, I'm like, but you know, when you realize you're like, you realize if you live in the West, you're richer than like 80% of you.
00:00:56.400 But so there is this video going viral that shows the impact of this on the media and the culture.
00:01:02.300 Let's pull it up.
00:01:03.260 I am proud to be white.
00:01:05.640 Sing this.
00:01:06.340 Three, two, one.
00:01:11.600 Can I just be in the middle?
00:01:13.300 Yeah.
00:01:13.780 Can there be a middle?
00:01:15.900 All right.
00:01:16.620 Take a side.
00:01:17.860 Take a side.
00:01:19.580 I don't know which one to pick.
00:01:21.840 Don't hate you guys.
00:01:23.440 I almost went there too.
00:01:24.860 I think like guiltily, like, I'm like happy that I'm not oppressed, but I'm not proud of like things people have done in the past.
00:01:35.440 When I think of being proud of something, I think of something I worked for or that I had to do nothing to be white. 0.61
00:01:43.560 Absolutely nothing.
00:01:44.360 And nothing was taken from me because I was white.
00:01:46.440 It's like saying I'm a proud white person is a completely different saying than saying I'm a proud black person.
00:01:54.540 Because when you hear I'm a proud black person, I think empowerment, I think strength, I think courage, I think, you know, all these amazing things that the black community has done and accomplished throughout the years.
00:02:04.280 But then when you say I am a strong or I'm a proud white person already, there's so much like hate involved in that.
00:02:13.940 The thing about that is like, like how you said someone who says I'm proud to be black, that's empowerment.
00:02:19.580 Why aren't I allowed to be proud to be white?
00:02:22.320 What makes it wrong?
00:02:23.460 Because you haven't been oppressed.
00:02:24.260 Yeah, what are you proud of?
00:02:25.840 Just your skin color? 0.51
00:02:26.920 Because yes, that is wrong.
00:02:28.160 So you're saying I can't be proud to be white because I don't have a culture.
00:02:32.560 No, that's not what I'm saying.
00:02:35.780 When white people say they're proud to be white, a lot of times, at least in my opinion, they're just, they're talking about their skin color, that they're not a different race.
00:02:44.160 I think that's wrong.
00:02:45.500 Yeah.
00:02:46.020 But as like we were talking about as a proud black person, they've been oppressed that a lot of their culture was stolen from them.
00:02:51.340 And a lot of reasons that I don't like proud to be white is because it has, the Nazis used it, the KKK used it.
00:03:00.200 I don't want to be associated with any of those things.
00:03:02.480 So I'm just going to completely stay away from that.
00:03:06.040 Sure, I'm not proud of like what my culture's done, but at the same time, like I would not want to be anything else.
00:03:12.640 If I had to choose another race, I don't know what I would be.
00:03:15.380 I'm okay with where I am, even though I'm getting backlash about being white.
00:03:19.460 This is propaganda of identity politics and it's, whoever is the producer for this show, you are inciting racism right now.
00:03:29.220 Because I actually agreed with that man when he started with the fact of like what it means to be proud.
00:03:34.560 Why the hell are we asking people, are you a proud white person?
00:03:39.520 Are you a proud black person?
00:03:41.340 What the hell does the color of your skin have to do with whether you are a proud person?
00:03:47.640 Why do we divide people into these groups still to this day?
00:03:51.840 How many years has it been since segregation?
00:03:54.300 And still to this day, it is, oh, that's a black guy. 0.99
00:03:58.300 That's a white guy.
00:03:59.600 That's a Hispanic guy.
00:04:01.020 No, it's just a guy.
00:04:02.300 And if you live in this world of identity politics, you are the people who are inciting racism because you are creating the segregation of people based on the color of their skin.
00:04:11.980 That is what was meant to have been abolished.
00:04:15.200 And here we are.
00:04:16.120 We're inciting it again.
00:04:17.300 We're fueling it again.
00:04:18.540 I don't know how people can't see this.
00:04:20.340 This is a racist video.
00:04:22.560 And it's interesting, too, because they say, I'm not proud of what my culture has done.
00:04:27.120 You know what the word, like, because I'm sure it's slavery, right?
00:04:31.440 But the word slave comes from Slavic.
00:04:34.200 Irish was the number one form of slaves in the United States before 1800 or 17, I don't remember which year.
00:04:40.020 But it's like, like, we can play the whole game of who's been more oppressed, who's had more slaves, white people or black people.
00:04:48.100 The truth is that argument can go on for millennia till the end of time.
00:04:54.160 We can all do the point scoring thing.
00:04:55.780 The cavemen were, like, we can all do it.
00:04:57.880 At the end of the day, we're all human beings.
00:04:59.380 And if you have to identify yourself based on something like what you look like or anything like that instead of your character, unfortunately, that's what's part of the problem.
00:05:08.840 And I'll tell you one thing.
00:05:10.320 You know, ever since I was a kid, I loved being a redhead.
00:05:13.880 That's, like, one thing.
00:05:14.960 Ever since, like, I was young, my mom just always told me that she always wanted kids with red hair.
00:05:20.380 And she was so happy we had red hair.
00:05:22.220 And so ever since I was a kid, I just thought it was amazing.
00:05:24.960 I was like, nobody else has red hair.
00:05:26.660 Right.
00:05:26.840 I get to have red hair.
00:05:29.060 And this is like, I know they would have the ginger, like every ginger.
00:05:32.340 Every hair being a ginger is brutal. 1.00
00:05:34.880 You know, I honestly think it might have been.
00:05:37.540 I definitely had jokes made, but I just didn't care because I loved being a ginger.
00:05:42.860 Like, I just loved it.
00:05:44.040 I just thought it was awesome.
00:05:45.320 I thought it was awesome being tall.
00:05:46.640 And I think you can kind of celebrate having something unique about you.
00:05:51.580 But it would be like if you celebrate it too hard, then you're being too proud to be white, you know.
00:05:57.440 And you can't celebrate things that are associated with being white.
00:06:01.060 Yeah, I just think it's, I just think the only way out of this whole, you know, space of racism, Morgan Freeman says it, you know, the only way to get out of it is to stop talking about it.
00:06:12.640 I think, you know, the idea that you can have something different, you know, yeah, you can have things that are different about the way you look.
00:06:18.820 You can also have things that are different about your character.
00:06:21.340 Yeah.
00:06:21.620 And I think that's where the issue lies is the fact that we don't celebrate things that are good in character.
00:06:27.260 Yeah, it's always about how you look.
00:06:29.140 Culture, race. 0.98
00:06:30.280 It kind of goes back to the superficiality because, again, they're not talking about your character.
00:06:36.620 It's about something that looks wise.
00:06:39.080 And it's the same thing with like.
00:06:40.320 They're not talking about your charity.
00:06:41.800 How much have you done to help people?
00:06:45.280 And so the comment says they managed to convince an entire population that they're somehow guilty and should be ashamed of the color of their skin.
00:06:53.160 Racism against white people is the only kind of discrimination that's allowed.
00:06:56.540 Facts.
00:06:57.000 The left demands that white people carry white guilt because it makes them easier to manipulate.
00:07:02.700 Yeah.
00:07:02.860 Well, it's that whole argument of what you said, you know, is it that racism is just essentially flipped and they're trying to eradicate white people?
00:07:10.640 Perhaps.
00:07:11.260 I just think this whole thing is absolutely ridiculous.
00:07:13.320 There is no reason to feel guilt when you did nothing wrong and are being used by an agenda.
00:07:19.020 There's no reason to feel guilt when you did nothing wrong and are being used by an agenda by the radical left.
00:07:24.360 Yeah.
00:07:24.600 I'm like, what did I do?
00:07:25.300 There's also no reason to be proud of the color of your skin, black or white. 1.00
00:07:30.060 Like, why is that something you're proud of?
00:07:32.220 I'm proud because I have a certain type of pigment in my skin.
00:07:35.400 What?
00:07:35.840 I don't.
00:07:36.220 Okay.
00:07:36.440 I disagree with you a little bit.
00:07:37.960 I just don't see it.
00:07:38.540 I disagree with you a little bit.
00:07:40.040 I think there's some like, I don't know.
00:07:42.060 I kind of look like my dad.
00:07:43.900 And I kind of am proud of the fact because, you know, I'm so close with my dad.
00:07:47.640 Like, I think there's some maybe, maybe pride, you know, because pride is this.
00:07:51.960 And maybe pride isn't the best way to put it.
00:07:53.840 But I think you can have some sort of level of appreciation.
00:07:57.260 Appreciation is different to being proud of it.
00:07:59.980 To the features that, I don't know, that you get from your family.
00:08:03.920 I think you can appreciate patterns because they, perhaps you associate certain characteristics
00:08:08.860 through those patterns.
00:08:09.780 I mean, your dad is an entrepreneur.
00:08:11.120 He's a successful man.
00:08:12.400 He's a father to 10 children.
00:08:13.980 He's done things that you appreciate and you see as something good.
00:08:17.420 So, you know, there's a difference between going, I like the fact that I look like my
00:08:21.940 dad because when I think of my dad, it incites all of these positive emotions in me.
00:08:26.560 Whereas, you know, just going on social media and I'm a proud this, I'm a proud that.
00:08:31.980 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:32.680 When you lead, because you're leading with it.
00:08:34.920 That's what you're leading with.
00:08:35.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:36.960 That's the problem.
00:08:37.400 I almost think it makes it sad all the surgery people are getting in a way because it's like
00:08:42.260 you almost lose what makes you look like you.
00:08:44.520 Oh, yeah, like plastic surgery.
00:08:45.460 Yeah, because all the girls kind of look the same now. 0.98
00:08:48.100 They look the exact same with like the duck lips, the forehead that doesn't move.
00:08:52.620 It's like you kind of used to look like your parents.
00:08:55.640 Yeah, you.
00:08:57.000 The disgust to me is liberal seeing everything through the lens of race.
00:09:00.280 Be proud of who you are regardless of your skin color.
00:09:03.040 I don't understand how anyone can be negative towards a skin color that God gave them.
00:09:08.360 Yeah, the only thing I disagree with there is be proud of who you are regardless of your
00:09:11.900 skin color.
00:09:12.400 No, no, no, no, no.
00:09:13.020 There are a lot of people out there who should not be proud of who they are and what they've
00:09:15.880 done.
00:09:16.500 Be proud of who you are if you've done enough to the other people admire what you've done.
00:09:21.840 But yeah, no, I completely agree.
00:09:23.160 How could, how could, it's just so ridiculous.
00:09:26.300 The whole race argument and it's so, you know, the leftists, they say, oh, we're, we're
00:09:31.160 equality, we're inclusion.
00:09:32.660 But it's like, you're literally putting people into groups based on their skin color.
00:09:37.840 What?
00:09:38.280 It's like, I don't know.
00:09:52.700 You're the blame.
00:09:53.940 You're 1985.
00:10:03.140 It's like, oh, you're the blame.
