Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 776 ｜ China & Russia Join Forces as US Debates the Racism of Coffee

00:00:00.000 Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping came together to talk about how to take over the world.

00:00:05.140 Meanwhile, we're meeting with the cast of Ted Lasso and debating whether coffee is racist,

00:00:10.820 so things are going great. The world may be going to hell in a handbasket, guys, but today

00:00:16.940 we're going to laugh about it because sometimes that's just what you have to do. This episode is

00:02:06.400 is laugh so you don't cry. We're going to look at some ridiculous stuff that's happening in our world

00:02:12.680 and we're going to have some fun with it. The reality is things look pretty bleak for the state

00:02:18.360 of our country. And it's a chosen decline. It is because of policy choices that the people in charge

00:02:25.220 have made, that our elected officials have made, most of them Democrats, some of them Republicans,

00:02:30.600 to sell out Americans in the interest of themselves lining their own pockets, giving themselves power 0.63

00:02:40.340 and also helping out other countries, all at the expense of the health of the American people.

00:02:49.220 So we are facing all kinds of crises. We are facing an economic crisis. We are facing a supply chain

00:02:56.960 crisis as we have been for the past few years, as has been building for the past few years. Obviously,

00:03:04.560 we are facing a cultural and a moral crisis. The people in charge, all of our cultural influences

00:03:10.780 can't even define the most basic fundamental facts about human existence, like what a woman is. We are

00:03:19.040 glorifying sin and we are condemning that which is good, calling evil good and good evil. So we're

00:03:26.640 in a bad spot. We talk a lot about that bad stuff and we try to approach it from a biblical perspective

00:03:32.980 and remember that the Lord is still in charge and that he is sovereign over all of it and that his

00:03:39.800 victory is sure. But we do have to look at the evil that is going on and to make sure that we are standing

00:03:45.420 firm against it because at the end of the day, that's really all we can control. But within this

00:03:51.740 is a lot of humor. There's a lot of ridiculousness. There is a lot of material for comedy and for satire 0.96

00:04:00.840 and sometimes you just have to make fun of the things that are being said by the cultural elites,

00:04:07.380 the things that are being shown to us, the way we are being led just so we don't always sit in the

00:04:14.060 state of despair. So the things that you are going to look at and hear about today, we're going to be

00:04:18.880 laughing at. But again, we are laughing as medicine so we don't just wallow in our tears and in

00:04:26.520 desperation wondering when is Jesus going to come back and save us from this mess that we're in

00:04:32.520 and the evil people who are leading us. So first we are going to look at the wedding of two powers,

00:04:41.160 of two dictatorships, and that is Russia and the Chinese Communist Party. You know, they have

00:04:49.340 already talked about joining forces and with Iran, another dictatorship in this war between Russia and

00:04:59.340 Ukraine, as America has given so much aid, billions of dollars of help to this small country of Ukraine,

00:05:06.800 Ukraine, all in the name of democracy. And it is shaping up to not be a great battle. We don't 0.96

00:05:13.960 like it when three dictatorships come together who all have a shared hatred of the West and in

00:05:19.600 particular the United States in common. And as these powers are coming together, well, I'll show you

00:05:26.780 how our leaders are handling this crisis and what they're focused on. But first, let's look at this

00:05:34.380 recent meeting, this very grand opulent meeting between Xi Jinping, who is the head of the Chinese

00:05:40.360 Communist Party, and Vladimir Putin, the head of Russia, coming together to talk about how the world

00:05:48.480 is going to change and how they are excited about it, which is chilling. So here they are coming

00:05:54.340 together. And if you're not watching on YouTube, you need to because it's kind of entertaining.

00:05:59.240 Okay, here we've got Vladimir Putin coming in at 5'7". We've got Xi Jinping coming in at about

00:06:11.140 5'11". I would guess that Vladimir Putin weighs, I don't know, a buck 85? Maybe, no, maybe less than

00:06:20.400 that. Xi Jinping, apparently, who is 5'11", which really means probably 5'9". He might be coming in a

00:06:30.220 little bit more than that. Yeah, these are hefty boys. All right, so they're coming together. As you

00:06:36.260 can see on this middle carpet, they're coming to shake hands. I can't imagine how awkward this is.

00:06:41.520 I also wonder, were they making eye contact that entire time? It's like you're walking down a hallway

00:06:47.280 and you see someone from afar that you know and you're not ready to say hi because you'll have

00:06:50.800 to say hi like five times before you actually see each other. So then they took the picture together.

00:06:56.440 They didn't put their arms around each other or anything like that. I think they're actually

00:06:59.480 in Russia meeting. You see the Chinese flag. You see the Russian flag. They come together

00:07:04.620 and they stand there. They don't smile for these pictures. Also, I don't know if we can pull it up

00:07:10.420 as a picture. Maybe we can. When they enter the room and they've got the guards opening the doors,

00:07:18.400 one thing that you'll notice that I just wonder like what the policy is or what their reasoning is,

00:07:22.220 the guards that open the doors, they have to, they're standing perfectly still except their head

00:07:26.700 is like on a swivel and has to turn towards their leader. And yet it looks like if you look closely

00:07:35.640 that their eyes actually stay locked on each other and that they can't move their eyes but

00:07:41.040 they're moving their head. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that is. I was actually teaching

00:07:46.200 my toddler the other day because she is interested in animals that owls can actually swivel their head

00:07:55.760 like 270 degrees all the way around. That's kind of what it looks like these guards are doing.

00:08:02.040 I wonder what their reasoning is behind that. They have to turn their head toward their dictator

00:08:07.800 or else maybe they get decapitated. I don't know what it's like. Okay, here's a little clip also

00:08:12.340 of Putin and Xi Jinping talking afterwards. I guess their meeting went well.

00:08:17.020 That's sweet. All right. Okay. Let me interpret for you. Since I know Chinese and Russian fluently,

00:08:42.440 Xi Jinping said change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years and we are driving this

00:08:46.520 change together. Putin said, I agree. Xi Jinping, please take care, dear friend. Putin, have a safe

00:08:52.100 journey. That is chilling. That's chilling. Like we are talking about two dictators, two countries that

00:08:58.220 have no interest in human rights whatsoever, have no interest whatsoever in free speech, freedom of

00:09:04.160 religion, who are only interested in their own power. I don't think people understand all of the 1.00

00:09:13.340 anti-American progressives who over the years have said how terrible it is that America is the global

00:09:18.980 superpower, that we have only been a vessel of oppression for all of these years. And of course,

00:09:25.500 spreading evil things like white supremacy. Like I don't think that you understand that there is

00:09:30.720 always going to be a world superpower. And if it's not a country with a constitution like the United

00:09:37.120 States, we all believe it's actually embedded in our founding that human beings are made in the image

00:09:42.260 of God, that they're given by God certain inalienable rights that the government should not have the

00:09:47.040 right to arbitrarily take away. If you do not have a country that is leading the world with that kind of

00:09:53.020 foundation, which I agree, we've done so extremely imperfectly. I would certainly say that as someone who

00:09:57.500 loves this country and loves the constitution, then you're going to have dictators do it. Do you want to

00:10:03.360 know what that looks like when they're in charge? When they run the world economy? When they have the

00:10:12.100 responsibility then to police the world and make sure their boots are on the ground everywhere and

00:10:17.460 they're imposing their values? I mean, that's part of why I am a nationalist. Although I recognize there's

00:10:24.560 always going to be a world superpower that's just the way it is. Entities like China and Russia,

00:10:31.220 Iran, they're not interested in just kind of paying attention to themselves without trying to claim 1.00

00:10:36.640 world power. But I do believe that America, like all countries, should put the interest of their own

00:10:43.560 people first. I don't think it's good for countries to be going in and meddling in all of the affairs

00:10:50.560 of other countries. I think it's good to put the interests and the security of your people first. And it's

00:10:56.980 actually amazing how many people on the left, especially the so-called Christian left, think

00:11:01.820 that that's bigoted or wrong or fascist or Nazi-like. Actually, I think that's the most compassionate, 0.65

00:11:07.620 most logical, most peaceful approach that you can have to geopolitics and national politics

00:11:14.420 is simply taking care of the business that you have first. That doesn't mean that we're

00:11:18.180 isolationist. But I think that we've seen now what it looks like to be so involved in the conflict

00:11:25.820 of two other countries like Russia and Ukraine, selling out our own interests and safety and

00:11:30.860 security to do so. Well, it's actually creating a new axis of evil that is probably going to

00:11:38.260 make us extremely vulnerable. So it's not shaping up to be a good thing here. And so how are our leaders

00:11:45.560 handling all of this? What meetings are they having? Well, the first meeting that I've seen

00:11:51.900 to discuss all of this very important stuff, what is maybe the end of Western democracy,

00:11:58.620 is a meeting between the cast of Ted Lasso and the White House. So we'll pull up a picture.

00:12:06.040 Here's the cast of Ted Lasso, which I'm so sorry. I know that there are a lot of Ted Lasso fans out

00:12:11.400 there. My husband, fan of the show Ted Lasso. I tried to watch it. All right. I love comedy.

00:12:17.760 I love comedy. I love comedic shows. I could sit here and talk about all of them.

00:12:23.720 I did not like Ted Lasso. I understood why people didn't like it the first season.

00:12:27.640 It was cute. It was lighthearted. It was light on the wokeness. And then, of course, as they always

00:12:32.600 do, they dabble into politics in the second, third season. And it just wasn't as good after that.

00:12:38.300 And here, Ted Lasso is. He apparently took questions at this press conference.

00:12:43.160 He was hugging Corrine Jean-Pierre. He apparently took questions at this press conference as Ted Lasso.

00:12:52.020 Why? I don't know. I'm not really sure. And so that's what's happening. That's our serious country.

00:13:01.340 That's where our focus is and where we are channeling our energy for literally no reason

00:13:08.920 that aligns with our protection or safety or well-being at all. And perhaps it's because this

00:13:16.740 is who we have as our leader. We have President Joe Biden, who I'm so sorry, but he cannot talk.

00:13:25.860 He can't talk. All he was doing here was reading from a teleprompter. On Tuesday, he hosted an event

00:13:32.980 at the White House to honor the 12 recipients of the National Humanities Medals and award honoring

00:13:37.360 individuals or organizations whose work has deepened to the nation's understanding of the

00:13:40.760 human experience, whatever that even means. So here he is trying to honor one of the winners.

00:13:46.180 It's a poet named Richard Blanco. And remember, he is reading this. It's not from memory. He is

00:13:51.580 reading this. And here's how that went.

00:13:54.360 And always one moon, like a silent drum tapping at every rooftop and every window of every county,

00:14:04.740 country. Let me start this over again.

00:14:08.960 Okay. And he actually says, you can tell he's about to say, oh, I'm getting so old. And then he

00:14:16.040 switches. So he actually had the ability, the awareness at that moment to say, oh,

00:14:21.680 I shouldn't be saying I'm getting so old. But that's what he's about to say is his excuse. I'm

00:14:25.760 like, Biden, we know. We know. You remember the Civil War. We get it. This was a mistake,

00:14:32.700 guys. This was a mistake. And I don't think that we should be electing people who are this old. 1.00

00:14:37.440 It's not Joe Biden's fault that he's this old. I mean, I don't think that he's a dumb person. 0.99

00:14:44.000 I think that he's just old. And this is how old people act. They can't see very well. They don't 1.00

00:14:49.620 have very good memories in a lot of cases, not all cases, of course. There are very sharp people who

00:14:54.100 are Joe Biden's age, but he's not one of them. He's not one of them. He needs to be on a beach in

00:14:59.560 Delaware. And it's it's cruel. It's cruel that Jill and other people in his life are putting him

00:15:05.300 up to this. But that's because he's just a shell of a president. He's not making any of these 0.53

00:15:08.840 decisions. That's why you have friggin Ted Lasso up there when Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are

00:15:15.880 meeting together because he doesn't know what's going on. Other people are making these decisions

00:15:20.120 who are more interested in progressive morality, progressive culture wars than they are in protecting

00:15:26.260 the United States. And speaking of Jill, Jill seems to also be frustrated. Jill Biden seems to also

00:15:33.520 be very frustrated with Joe Biden. And maybe this has been happening for a long time. So this is

00:15:39.140 yesterday. He hosted a reception celebrating Women's History Month. What do you want to bet there are some

00:15:44.880 men there who say that they're women being honored? And, you know, by the way, like the Joe Biden behind

00:15:51.960 the scenes when someone tells him, like, hey, do you think men can be women? He's like, he doesn't

00:15:58.600 believe it. He's like every other old man out there who understands biology, but he has to pretend again. 1.00

00:16:04.000 So here he's airing out his marriage problems with Jill Biden yesterday at the White House.

00:16:12.480 We were talking inside. Jill has and I think I told Nancy this before. Jill has put messages on my

00:16:20.100 mirror while I'm shaving. So I make sure I see. And one that was put in about a year ago was stop

00:16:27.540 trying to make me love you. Stop trying to make me love you, Joe. I'm never gonna love you. When are

00:16:36.460 you gonna get that through your thick head that I married you for power, buddy? I always wanted to be

00:16:43.520 the first lady. Now I am. Stop trying to make me like you too. It's too much to ask. Stop it.

00:16:53.080 Why would he say this? Did he mean to say something else? Actually, I watched the clip afterwards and

00:16:58.740 everyone's like, as they often do when he says things that don't make any sense just like you do

00:17:04.560 when you visit your grandfather in the nursing home and he says something that he wants to be a joke.

00:17:10.640 And of course, you love him and you respect him. And so you laugh at it. But you're like, I have

00:17:14.820 no idea what he just said or why he even said that. That's exactly what's going on here. People are

00:17:20.260 laughing so they don't cry. People are laughing because they're nervous about this. Jill Biden's

00:17:25.700 probably mortified. Like, what if she what if that's really what he meant? And he like she really

00:17:32.420 wrote that on a note like she actually didn't write him notes like encouraging notes every day.

00:17:37.800 But every day was like, I hate you every day. I wish I never married you every day. Stop trying to

00:17:46.060 make me love you every day. You have terrible breath. Like what if that's what's going on here? 0.53

00:17:52.540 This is really sad. I don't know if I would be that surprised. It has to be a cruel woman that 1.00

00:17:56.680 allows her husband in this state to be president. It's got to just be like a naked thirst for power 1.00

00:18:03.340 here. So that's our president. Good times. Good times. Good times. I don't think that we have to

00:18:10.040 wonder at all why we are in the state that we're in, y'all.

00:18:12.460 Okay, I don't know if you guys saw this headline about coffee being racist. Every week, it's

00:18:32.560 something new. Shoelaces are racist. Dog parks are racist. Brushing your hair is racist. Breathing as a

00:18:41.440 white person is racist. And this time, maybe coffee apparently is racist. And the reason why this 0.97

00:18:47.860 actually connects to the first segment that we just had is because race propaganda has actually

00:18:53.920 been pushed by the Chinese Communist Party and Soviet Russia in the United States for a very long

00:19:00.520 time. And the 1930s, Soviet propaganda tried to lure black Americans actually away from the United States.

00:19:06.300 And one propaganda poster will put this up on YouTube so you can see it. There was a shackled

00:19:11.140 and bloody black man beneath the Statue of Liberty. It's juxtaposed with a pretty picture of a rainbow 0.98

00:19:16.240 nation. And so under the first picture of this black person being oppressed by the United States,

00:19:22.760 it says under capitalism. And the second reads under socialism. Isn't that a familiar message

00:19:29.120 that we keep hearing from the left and have heard especially recently over the past few years?

00:19:36.620 And so a lot of the propaganda that's pushing the race wars, a lot of the funding behind it is

00:19:42.960 actually from Russia still today and also the Chinese Communist Party. Like after the George Floyd

00:19:47.740 incident, which we've talked about before, you saw state actors on Twitter who are just part of the

00:19:54.880 Ministry of Propaganda for the Chinese Communist Party talking about how awful and racist the United

00:20:00.520 States is, how they need to stand for racial justice, social justice. I mean, this is at the

00:20:05.160 same time that they have one million Uyghurs who are enslaved in the country of China. I mean, 0.99

00:20:11.500 they don't believe in human rights. They are an atheistic totalitarian regime. They don't believe

00:20:19.160 that people are made in the image of God. They don't believe that individuals have innate worth

00:20:22.360 during COVID. I mean, the New York Times even reported on this. China was evicting African 0.99

00:20:27.440 immigrants from their homes, kicking them out of restaurants, pushing this false narrative that it

00:20:31.580 was actually the Black people in China, actually the Africans in China that were spreading COVID. 1.00

00:20:38.080 Of course, that was absolutely ridiculous, but they use any excuse to discriminate against the people 0.73

00:20:43.040 that they want to discriminate against. And so it's all hypocrisy. That's what they do. That's what 0.96

00:20:50.360 Russia does. That's what the Chinese Communist Party do. So just remember that. Remember that.

00:20:55.400 That so much of the progressive left-wing propaganda that we hear is actually being promoted,

00:21:02.540 promulgated from foreign actors that want to see our destruction. Remember when we talked about last 1.00

00:21:07.260 week, that study that said that its conclusion supported the idea that kids of gay parents actually

00:21:14.140 fare much better than kids with a mom and a dad. And then we looked at the data,

00:21:19.160 and it doesn't actually prove that. We looked at the other studies that disprove that. And then we

00:21:25.200 also found that study was at least partially funded by the Chinese Communist Party. And remember,

00:21:31.860 the Chinese Communist Party does not allow LGBTQ representation in media or on social media.

00:21:38.680 Gay unions, what is called gay marriage, is not legal in China. And so why would they be pushing that 0.99

00:21:44.000 kind of progressive propaganda here in the United States except to divide and weaken and destroy?

00:21:50.920 The same thing happens with race. So I'm not saying that this article that we're about to go into

00:21:55.200 is written by the Chinese Communist Party. Unfortunately, there are people here who are

00:22:00.520 all too ready to accept the kind of propaganda that we see that's being pushed by these kind of

00:22:09.300 foreign regimes. And so we have plenty of people, plenty of academics here who are willing to push

00:22:15.480 this kind of insanity that really does the bidding of our enemies. So here's this. Here's this story.

00:22:22.560 This is from, this was circulating on Twitter. This is from afro.com. Is coffee racist? How drinking

00:22:29.060 coffee perpetuates white supremacy? Quote, every facet of the coffee industry, in fact, is rooted

00:22:35.140 in racism. From the moment the whites viciously stole coffee from black and brown people to the 0.83

00:22:42.160 present day Karen sipping her morning cup of white supremacy. Whites have been able to drink the fruits 0.98

00:22:48.340 of our labor and our culture with impunity. Okay, what? What? Again, this is just like everything with

00:22:59.240 critical race theory, just like everything with this kind of racial so-called anti-racist ideology.

00:23:04.720 It's not actually based on facts. It's not based on reason. It's not being perpetuated by people

00:23:10.400 with a sound mind. It's being based on feelings. When you start with the premise, which a lot of

00:23:16.240 these critical race theorists believe is a given, that white people are oppressors and that black and

00:23:21.700 brown people are oppressed, and you look at everything through that lens, that of course this

00:23:26.020 is the conclusion that you're going to come to. Now, I'm not going to say that there's been

00:23:29.660 no exploitation of people when it comes to the making and the sourcing of coffee. I think that's

00:23:35.100 true of a lot of different things, by the way, but it has nothing to do with white supremacy,

00:23:39.860 has nothing to do with racism whatsoever. But again, when this is your starting point,

00:23:45.980 when all you're thinking about is white oppressors, black and brown oppressed, then literally everything 0.73

00:23:52.460 can be colored by racism. Everything makes you a victim. The reality is, as we've talked about so 0.93

00:23:58.060 many times, here's the history of the world. The history of the world is people being oppressed

00:24:02.920 and people being oppressors. People of all nationalities, people of all people groups,

00:24:08.880 people of all ethnicities have been enslaved and enslavers. There is still slavery going on today

00:24:16.580 in Africa and in Asia, and not a single white person is involved, has nothing to do with white

00:24:23.620 people. And yet, you won't see very many articles about that, how those black people in Africa are

00:24:29.600 still being oppressed today because their oppressors are not white. And so you just kind of exclude that

00:24:34.800 from the narrative, because again, it doesn't match your starting point, your premise, your assumption

00:24:38.980 that white people have a monopoly on oppression, and black and brown people have a monopoly on 0.99

00:24:46.020 being oppressed. That's just not historically true. White people have been enslaved for many,

00:24:52.560 many, many hundreds of years throughout history. Black people have enslaved white people. And by the 1.00

00:24:57.140 way, like these categories of black and white, they're also arbitrary based on like what melanin count.

00:25:03.680 And so articles like this, they have a faulty premise, they have faulty assumptions, and it only exists

00:25:10.240 to breed resentment and violence and hate. I actually saw this advertised on C-SPAN. It was some,

00:25:18.020 I don't know, legislative meeting or something where there was some black activist. I don't think we have 0.97

00:25:23.220 the clip right now saying, you know, calling for the extermination of white people, not the extermination 0.99

00:25:28.700 of racism, not the extermination of white supremacy, but actually the extermination of white people. 0.99

00:25:33.980 And that is why, I mean, I don't know if that's necessarily why, but that has to be driving some 0.89

00:25:40.280 of the violence that we see. It is far more likely for a white person to be assaulted or killed by a

00:25:47.260 black person than the other way around. Despite the fact that black people only make up 13% of the 0.99

00:25:52.440 population, that is statistically true. You can look at all the crime data in our country. That is 0.79

00:25:58.060 statistically true. And yet we hear or we believe that it's the opposite, again, because of this faulty

00:26:03.440 premise that white people are always the oppressors, black and brown people are always the oppressed. 0.98

00:26:07.980 But if you actually break it down, if you actually want to look at the facts, it's just not true.

00:26:13.520 And you'll remember our friend, Michael Knowles, he called for the eradication of transgenderism as the 0.73

00:26:20.520 idea that a man can become a woman and vice versa. And I mean, he was absolutely maligned by every single

00:26:26.360 media source as a Nazi. And yet this person, he's on live TV and he says that not should we

00:26:33.180 exterminate or extinguish white supremacy, but actually that we need to kill all white people. 1.00

00:26:38.640 Crickets from the same people that were calling Michael Knowles a fascist for saying that we 1.00

00:26:42.720 should get rid of a bad idea. Okay, so it's not just coffee that's racist, apparently. It's also

00:26:48.960 picnics. The Philadelphia Inquirer, you probably remember this from 2020, said that the word picnic

00:26:55.560 is racist, which actually, if you look back at the history, the etymology of this word,

00:27:02.020 it had nothing to do with this. It had nothing to do. They were saying it stands for something

00:27:06.120 really bad that you pick an N word and you kill them. Apparently, that was what this article was 0.98

00:27:12.560 saying picnics were about when that's not really true. And by the way, that's not what people think

00:27:17.100 of when they're thinking of going out to a park, laying a blanket down and eating some sandwiches.

00:27:21.480 But again, it's all about stirring up resentment. Peanut butter and jelly. The New York Times says

00:27:26.040 December 16, 2016, peanut butter, jelly and racism argues that peanut butter and jelly being associated

00:27:32.360 is an example of implicit bias like black men and violence would be. You can read that article for 1.00

00:27:38.460 yourself. See if you deduce anything else from from their reporting. Kaiser Health News says that

00:27:44.560 dairy is also racist. Civil rights groups say school lunch programs. Dairy emphasis is

00:27:51.440 racist because children of color are more likely to be lactose intolerant.

00:27:58.400 Well, I also am sensitive to milk. I also don't do well with milk. So I agree with that.

00:28:06.460 Sure, I agree. It is racist. Bicycling Washington Post in 2021. American cycling has a racism problem.

00:28:12.840 Remember the cover of the New York Times also said that the equestrian world is racist because 0.59

00:28:17.740 there are not helmets that fit certain kinds of black hairstyles. Again, is a helmet going to be safe

00:28:27.440 if it's like six inches off of your skull? No, it's not. I don't think it has anything to do with you

00:28:33.040 being black. Medium reported that running is too white. It doesn't have to be. Again, agree. I don't 1.00

00:28:40.120 like running. So running is too white. And it is because I am an ally that I choose not to. ABC said

00:28:46.680 that national parks are racist. America's national parks face existential crisis over race. Not enough

00:28:52.280 black people are going outside. So that's the problem. NPR say that STDs, names of STDs can be racist. 0.98

00:29:01.380 Monkeypox is apparently a racist name, but it's not going away anytime soon. Okay, that's the most

00:29:08.500 important thing. The energy system. Highways. This is what Pete Buttigieg says, that highways

00:29:16.340 can be racist. Ballet, according to Marie Claire, it's very racist because it has unbearable whiteness.

00:29:25.500 There's just not enough black people going up on their tiptoes. And then camping is racist, 0.97

00:29:31.340 according to Fast Company. Philosophy is racist. Fox News, Loyola professor claims organized pantries

00:29:38.220 organized pantries are rooted in racist and sexist social structures. Okay, I got to read this a

00:29:45.440 little bit. The recent TikTok trend of showing off perfectly organized and styled home pantries

00:29:49.520 is rooted in a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures. Cleanliness has historically

00:29:57.500 been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague

00:30:02.400 understanding of niceness. Nice people with nice yards and nice houses make for nice neighborhoods.

00:30:09.300 This is Jenna Dritton, Loyola University associate professor of marketing. What lies beneath the

00:30:15.520 surface of this anti-messiness pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social

00:30:22.780 structures. So you hear that black people? This professor doesn't think that you can organize your

00:30:28.540 pantry. You need to make it messy in order to really be pro-black and anti-racist. So for that 0.74

00:30:38.580 reason, I will be giving away all of the plastic containers and plastic boxes that are in my pantry

00:30:46.140 and I will be pouring chips everywhere this afternoon. So that's what's racist. And then, oh,

00:30:52.360 Robin DiAngelo, our anti-racist Sherpa, she's got something to say that will solve all of these

00:30:59.820 problems for black and white people. It's a really interesting solution to this. I feel like I've

00:31:05.340 heard it before, but I can't, I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. We'll see if you can guess.

00:31:09.700 Okay, you'll remember Robin DiAngelo wrote the book White Fragility. And you were told by all of your

00:31:27.600 silly friends in 2020 that you need to read White Fragility. And actually, if you pushed back against 0.98

00:31:33.080 the black squares, if you pushed back against all of the ridiculous things that we heard in summer of 0.95

00:31:37.660 2020, that riots are the voice of the unheard and all that stuff, then it's just because you are 0.98

00:31:43.360 fragile. That is what we call a Kafka trap. They accuse you of something. And then if you deny being

00:31:49.460 that thing, it's actually because you are that thing. So someone says, well, you're a racist. And 0.84

00:31:55.120 I say, no, I'm not a racist. And then they say, well, you're just saying that because you are racist.

00:32:01.400 It's the same thing with white fragility. They accuse you of being some kind of white supremacist or 0.94

00:32:07.060 perpetuating white supremacy, either knowingly or unknowingly. You say, well, no, that's not true.

00:32:12.700 And they say, well, the only reason you're denying that is actually because of your white fragility. 0.91

00:32:17.100 So it's a trap because there's no way out of it. You either have to accept what they say and say,

00:32:23.480 okay, yeah, sure, your accusation of me is correct, which no one wants to say because you're not a racist.

00:32:29.300 Or if you deny their accusation, and then you're just something else that's awful.

00:32:35.680 So it's not, again, coming from a place of reason. It's not coming from a place of soundness. It's not

00:32:41.960 coming from a place of logic or truth. Rhetorical tricks, plays on words, logical fallacies are really

00:32:50.280 all these people have. That's why when you hear Ibra Max Kendi, by the way, trying to explain what

00:32:56.260 anti-racism is, he actually uses the word in the definition because he doesn't really have

00:33:01.280 a clear definition of it. The most coherent definition that I've heard him say is basically

00:33:07.080 that you have to discriminate against white people today to make up for past discrimination

00:33:11.920 of black people in the hopes that, in the hopes that everyone will end up one day, one day in the

00:33:18.640 future, on the same level or have the same outcomes, which is just a racialized version 0.88

00:33:26.300 of communism. How has that worked out in the past? Has it worked out well? Like you should look at the

00:33:31.740 history of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe, when he also through racial resentment, and this idea that

00:33:38.060 white people are oppressors and colonizers, when he went after the white commercial farmers

00:33:43.460 in his country for the sake of his people, for the sake of black Africans, what actually happened 0.99

00:33:49.980 to Zimbabwe after that? Did things go well? They used to be the breadbasket of Africa. Then they scared 0.89

00:33:56.340 all of the white commercial farmers away. The indigenous people there didn't know how to 1.00

00:34:00.460 commercially farm. Now it's one of the poorest countries in Africa because that's what communism

00:34:04.100 does. That's what race wars do. How's South Africa doing? Not great. And so this kind of stuff just

00:34:12.520 leads to destruction. And it's a shame. It's a shame on any Christian that pushes it. It's a shame 1.00

00:34:17.320 on any Christian that pushes this idea of white privilege and unconscious bias against black people 0.82

00:34:26.320 by white people, putting more responsibility for repentance and reparations and reconciliation on 0.69

00:34:32.420 white people than you do black people. By the way, that is what the Be the Bridge curriculum does. 0.91

00:34:38.000 It does. It treats white and black people differently. It gives white people different 0.85

00:34:42.160 responsibilities than black people. Like you should read some of the rules in the Facebook page

00:34:47.160 for the Be the Bridge community. What white people are expected to do and to not do, say and not to

00:34:55.760 say versus black people. That's not impartiality. That's not the impartiality that God calls us to 0.97

00:35:01.560 over and over again in the Bible. That is partiality. That's not the justice and true equity that God defines

00:35:07.620 in Scripture that's the opposite of it. I could go on and on on that. And we have many times.

00:35:14.020 But here's Robin DiAngelo's solution. This is a person, by the way, whose book has been promoted

00:35:19.040 by many people in the Christian community. Here's what she says should happen to end the tensions or,

00:35:27.240 I guess, end the oppression of black people in the United States.

00:35:30.620 I'm a big believer in affinity space and affinity work. And I think people of color need to get away 1.00

00:35:36.540 from white people and have some community with each other.

00:35:42.620 Okay. Is that not, I mean, is that not happening? I think people, I mean, they congregate with people.

00:35:49.660 They form communities around people, primarily who share their values, but also who share their same

00:35:54.600 culture, share people that it's, or share community with people that it's easy to get along with. I

00:36:00.520 certainly don't think that black people need that kind of directive from Robin DiAngelo. But I want to 0.65

00:36:05.140 point out the hypocrisy here. One, I mean, this is just segregation. All right. So if it sounds

00:36:10.560 familiar to you, like if you're familiar with segregation in 20th century America, that's

00:36:16.340 basically what's going on here. And then Scott Adams. So he is a cartoonist. He has authored for

00:36:24.440 a very long time that I think it's called Dilbert, the Dilbert cartoon. So his cartoons are no longer

00:36:31.060 being run in places like the Washington Post and other outlets because he said in a video that he 0.95

00:36:38.540 thinks that white people should get away from black people. He believes that the black people in 1.00

00:36:44.180 general don't like white people. He was referring to some poll, which I'm not sure about the legitimacy 0.93

00:36:48.660 of this poll that he's talking about. He suggested that white people should separate from black people, 0.89

00:36:53.800 surround themselves by white people. And that's just the way that it should go. I mean, 0.97

00:36:58.160 he got absolutely lambasted for this in the media. He lost some sources of income that he has because

00:37:05.720 they're no longer distributing his cartoon. And just, I mean, from the left and the right called

00:37:11.540 a total white supremacist racist, where he would argue that he is not saying that white people are

00:37:16.840 better. He's not saying that he dislikes black people or that he hates black people. He just, 1.00

00:37:23.020 I guess, based on this poll and based on some things that he believes that he's seen, 0.93

00:37:28.480 that he believes that white people should separate from black people. So he gets canceled in a lot of

00:37:33.700 ways because of that, at least maligned as a racist. Robin DiAngelo, is she going to get any widespread

00:37:41.100 pushback for this? She's saying the same thing. She's literally saying the same thing as Scott Adams.

00:37:47.720 And yet you will still have Christians promoting Robin DiAngelo. She's still going to get paid 20k 0.59

00:37:54.080 an hour to make white people feel bad about themselves. And she is saying the same thing as

00:38:01.820 1970s segregationists said, the same thing as Scott Adams said just a few days ago and got lambasted for.

00:38:10.380 And yet we're supposed to pat her on the back. We're supposed to applaud her. Like,

00:38:14.440 do you see the toxicity of this ideology? Again, all it does is breed hate. And another example of

00:38:21.380 that, there is a diversity chief at the Pentagon because every Pentagon needs that. Every good

00:38:28.500 Pentagon has a diversity chief. Her name is Calissa Wing. She's an army veteran, thankful for her

00:38:35.440 service, not thankful for her ideas. So she's the current DEI chief at the Department of Defense's

00:38:41.120 education activity. Okay. And she tweeted this. This has now been circulated. I first saw it shared

00:38:49.740 by Charlie Kirk. He says, this is the Pentagon's diversity chief saying she's exhausted by white

00:38:54.700 folks. We are not a serious country. Calissa Wing says, I'm so exhausted at these, at these. I'm so

00:39:01.180 exhausted at these. I would love to see someone be exhausted at me. I'm so exhausted at these white 1.00

00:39:07.340 folks in these PD sessions. This lady actually had the caudacity, get it? Caucasian caudacity to say 1.00

00:39:15.660 that black people can be racist too. I don't, where would she get that idea? That's so weird. 0.91

00:39:21.280 Hmm. I had to stop the session and give Karen the business in all caps. We are not the majority. 0.92

00:39:28.680 We don't have power. A thread. Why ask for assistance? That's so weird. I have no idea why someone would be

00:39:36.000 around you hear the words that you have to say and think that black people can also be racist. Of

00:39:41.920 course they can. Racism is not prejudice plus power. It's just discriminating against someone

00:39:47.760 because you don't like the color of their skin, whether that's in your words or actions. And this

00:39:51.780 person absolutely is. You can't tell me that black people can't be racist, that black, that white people 1.00

00:39:56.480 can't be, or that brown people can't be racist. You absolutely can. And by the way, God doesn't care. 0.99

00:40:01.880 God doesn't care what you define as racism. If you hate someone in your heart, that is hate.

00:40:08.960 He's not interested in all of our fancy terminology and our euphemisms for hate. Like he doesn't judge

00:40:15.320 black people less for hating white people than he does white people for hating a black person, 0.98

00:40:20.800 because he does not start with this faulty assumption that all white people are a little 0.99

00:40:25.960 bit worse than black people, that all white people are a little bit more culpable for oppression 0.97

00:40:32.860 than black people, thankfully, because God is actually impartial and just. So that's the state 1.00

00:40:41.220 of our country right now. Race relations have gone down the tube. Things were getting a lot better, 1.00

00:40:46.840 don't you think? When Barack Obama was elected, like things were pretty good. Like it felt like it was

00:40:52.580 maybe possible to move into this post-racial world. So not one where we didn't recognize 0.98

00:40:57.780 differences, but one where those differences really didn't matter, where people were being

00:41:02.580 rewarded mostly on merit. Now, affirmative action has existed for a long time, but it did seem like

00:41:09.260 that was becoming less of an issue. And then we got these racial culture wars, especially when it came

00:41:16.040 to police interactions and these narratives pushed and people realized, wow, I can really make a whole lot

00:41:22.440 of money by making these previously obscure academic theories like critical race theory

00:41:26.940 mainstream. We've seen the trickle down effect of that. The trickle down effect of that is broken

00:41:31.520 communities, divided churches, looted stores. It's not good. It's not good. I mean, and again,

00:41:39.300 the saddest thing to me is how many Christians have perpetuated this stuff, operating completely out of 1.00

00:41:45.680 partiality because they think it'll get them points with the secular left. Newsflash, they're going to

00:41:51.760 always hate you anyway, until you completely capitulate.

00:42:06.300 All right, that's all we got time for today. I guess there was some laughing, but mostly it's just

00:42:11.320 sad. Also, I just, I meant to say this at the beginning and I forgot. I don't know if y'all saw

00:42:16.320 also that Kamala Harris wrote a letter to Dylan Mulvaney. I've been really trying not to talk

00:42:21.380 about Dylan Mulvaney this week. He came out with this video pretending to be Eloise, you know,

00:42:26.200 like the six-year-old little girl, and this is a grown man. But I'm like, okay, I try. I did my

00:42:33.100 earnest message last week, sharing the gospel. Not that he will ever hear it, but hopefully from 0.99

00:42:38.960 someone he will hear the gospel. But I still think it's an important message to put out there. And that's,

00:42:43.120 those are my real feelings. But I have to be honest, like I go between feeling just so angry

00:42:49.120 at the people, at what he's doing to influence young people and to believing things about gender

00:42:56.420 and identity that just aren't true. And also just grossed out that this is a grown man that pretends

00:43:02.260 to be a little girl that dresses up like a little girl. It's like part of this for sure. I don't think

00:43:07.560 that this is necessarily all of it for him. I don't know, but it's definitely a fetish. I'm sorry.

00:43:13.060 Like five years ago, when we had our thinking caps on just a little bit, if someone told you,

00:43:18.980 like a grown man, a 27-year-old man with a five o'clock shadow, if he pretends to be a little girl

00:43:25.360 or dresses up like a little girl, acts or talks like a little girl, like do you think that person

00:43:31.040 is well? You would say, no, I don't think that person is well. Would you allow that person to

00:43:35.560 influence your children? No, you wouldn't allow that person to influence your children. Of course

00:43:39.540 not. Do you think that person should be glorified as some kind of hero by the White House? I think

00:43:44.680 that we would all laugh. And yet that's what's happening right now. Kamala Harris wrote a letter

00:43:49.980 to Miss Dylan Mulvaney, just thanking him for his heroism and all of that, his bravery. And the funniest

00:43:58.600 thing is, the most ironic thing is his authenticity. When in fact, he has made an entire lucrative

00:44:04.560 career out of pretending to be something that he is not, nor will he ever be. And once again,

00:44:11.080 I will point out the irony in all of this is that if he were an actual woman, he wouldn't be getting

00:44:18.720 a letter from the White House. He wouldn't be becoming famous. He wouldn't be getting all of

00:44:23.980 these sponsorships and all of these partnerships. If it was just a woman dressing up as Eloise, 0.96

00:44:30.480 if it were just a woman posting TikToks, like no one would care. It is because everyone,

00:44:37.920 everyone, no matter what they say, understands that this is a male dressing up like a woman.

00:44:42.000 So that makes it interesting. That makes it bizarre. That makes it, I guess, for some people,

00:44:46.100 courageous. It's the only reason why he has any attention. It's the only reason why Kamala Harris

00:44:50.260 is writing him a letter. If he were an actual woman, he wouldn't be getting this kind of attention. 0.94

00:44:55.360 And yet here he is, exchanging the truth of God for a lie. I mean, God is so merciful and so patient

00:45:03.840 that any of us, I mean, that this country even still stands, that this kind of evil, this kind

00:45:10.620 of subversion and perversion is tolerated at all. And it's got to just be because he is exceedingly

00:45:17.200 patient. And he just wants more people to come to him, to be called to repentance.

00:45:26.400 I read this morning in my Bible reading, one of my favorite Psalms, and that is Psalm 24.

00:45:35.160 And really, it's the first few verses of Psalm 24 that always just comfort me when I think about

00:45:42.380 the state of the world, the people who are trying to run the world, like Putin and Xi Jinping,

00:45:47.580 what we've got going on in our own country, and just the evil that is so pervasive and so big,

00:45:52.000 and we just feel like we have no control over it, don't really have any power to push back against

00:45:56.720 it. And then I read the first verse of Psalm 24, which is,

00:46:00.820 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,

00:46:05.880 for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. And Psalm 37 is also a comfort

00:46:11.900 that God is still on his throne. He is exceedingly patient, but he's not doing nothing. And as we

00:46:18.340 said at the beginning, his victory is sure. He looks down from the heavens and laughs at those

00:46:25.960 who think that they are more powerful than him. No one is. Not Vladimir Putin, not Xi Jinping,

00:46:32.820 not Joe Biden, not Kamala Harris, not Dylan Mulvaney, not Robin DiAngelo, not any of these ridiculous 0.99

00:46:39.120 actors. God is in charge. And he's got the final say. That's what I take comfort in and all of this. 0.98

00:46:45.840 And that's why we can ultimately find joy. That's why we can laugh so we don't cry. Because we

00:46:53.700 understand who's got it. We know. That's why we have hope. All right. Last thing I want to tell you
