00:00:00.640 Hi folks, I am the Shameless Spurg. I hope you're doing well today.
00:00:04.880 So today I wanted to get into a little quote by Tommy Sotomayor, as well as a little story about how I came across Tommy Sotomayor.
00:00:14.600 So, Tommy Sotomayor agreed with me about black people, and he is correct about black people. 1.00
00:00:21.440 So here's what he had to say. 0.55
00:00:23.860 I'm sick of people being offended that white people are racist. 0.98
00:00:28.080 Tommy, I wish they were more racist. 0.95
00:00:30.300 You seem really optimistic. 0.94
00:00:32.380 White people in the United States have every reason to be racist. 0.95
00:00:35.820 Yes, we do. 0.99
00:00:37.480 You ninjas had an opportunity to leave the country.
00:00:40.800 You didn't.
00:00:41.900 When they freed you, you could have left.
00:00:44.100 Did you leave?
00:00:45.120 No.
00:00:45.880 You ninjas had a chance to build your own everything.
00:00:48.900 Did you do it?
00:00:49.760 No.
00:00:50.720 You asked white folks to let them be a part of it. 0.97
00:00:52.940 You ninjas have a chance to get away from the white system. 0.98
00:00:57.020 Do you do it? 0.78
00:00:57.860 No. 1.00
00:00:58.160 You enjoy the fuck out of all the white benefits of being in their system while talking shit 1.00
00:01:03.300 about them. 1.00
00:01:04.540 I don't have a problem with white folks being racist.
00:01:07.860 Man, me neither. 0.93
00:01:08.820 I just wish they were as racist as you seem to think they are.
00:01:12.180 But I'm working on it.
00:01:13.320 I'm trying to help things in that direction.
00:01:15.500 Your humble propagandist here is just trying to help.
00:01:18.460 I'm racist. 0.92
00:01:19.520 I don't like ninjas. 0.96
00:01:21.140 I don't like going around them.
00:01:22.880 I don't like being in groups of them.
00:01:24.660 Because it never goes well.
00:01:26.760 It just doesn't.
00:01:27.560 You've earned this name, American ninjas.
00:01:30.440 You earned it. 1.00
00:01:31.860 You get this name by acting stupid. 1.00
00:01:35.700 End quote. 1.00
00:01:37.120 Now, I of course agree with him.
00:01:40.260 I wish I shared his degree of certainty and optimism about white racism in the United States.
00:01:46.160 But hey, like I said, I'm working on it.
00:01:48.620 I'm trying to do what I can to benefit the cause.
00:01:50.840 So, how I ever heard about Tommy Sotomayor to begin with is part of what makes this quote
00:01:56.720 especially entertaining to me and especially satisfying.
00:02:02.080 I've told this story once before.
00:02:05.240 So, when I was a teenager and in my early, yeah, like mid to late 20s, okay, I still listened
00:02:12.280 to a good bit of rap.
00:02:14.060 It was something that, you know, I grew up in a diverse area.
00:02:17.420 I had a diverse friend group and all that stuff.
00:02:19.440 No racial consciousness and what have you.
00:02:21.640 And I was an avid fan of rap and hip-hop.
00:02:25.980 And I had a couple of co-workers at my last show who produced rap music together.
00:02:34.540 And they made beats and, you know, wrote their own lyrics and did their thing.
00:02:38.140 And to be honest with you, it wasn't bad.
00:02:41.340 Like, I thought it was pretty good for what it was.
00:02:43.440 And so, over time, they learned that I was somebody that could be trusted to give an honest
00:02:48.120 opinion about music.
00:02:50.420 And they came to trust my judgment in music because they saw what I listened to.
00:02:55.120 They saw what I was familiar with.
00:02:58.180 And, you know, they liked my sense of taste in music and figured I was probably a good
00:03:02.780 person to run their stuff by before releasing.
00:03:05.080 And so, they would pass along, like, a new, you know, album that they're working on.
00:03:12.640 Some new single.
00:03:14.080 And they'd say, you know, hey, take this home.
00:03:18.380 Give it a listen.
00:03:19.600 Tell me what you think of it.
00:03:20.560 I know you'll tell me the honest truth.
00:03:22.520 Like I said, I tended to enjoy their music.
00:03:24.860 And I actually listened to it quite a lot.
00:03:29.880 Enough, in fact, to have a lot of it memorized.
00:03:32.260 So, I come back to work.
00:03:37.100 I don't know.
00:03:37.540 It must have been a few days.
00:03:38.480 Maybe a few days after he had lent me this CD or gave me a copy of this burnt CD to give
00:03:44.660 it a listen and review it.
00:03:46.000 And when I encountered him at work again, he was, of course, curious to hear my thoughts.
00:03:51.420 So, instead of actually giving him a review saying, like, oh, yeah, man, bars, you know,
00:03:56.060 this is really good or saying this is trash or something, I thought, wouldn't it be kind
00:04:01.520 of cool if the way that I reviewed it was to just repeat the song back to him, memorized?
00:04:08.500 I'm like, sure, surely that would be enough to demonstrate I liked it.
00:04:12.480 I mean, could you ask for a better review than for the guy to come back with your music
00:04:16.600 memorized?
00:04:17.400 I don't think so.
00:04:18.760 You know, so here I am.
00:04:19.820 I'm reciting his own lyrics back to him.
00:04:22.320 When I failed to censor myself, where he used the word ninja, he got upset about it.
00:04:28.860 He apparently was expecting me to self-censor.
00:04:31.640 And see, I simply will not play that power game.
00:04:34.360 I wasn't even racially conscious at the time, but I couldn't accept it. 0.99
00:04:38.120 I'm like, you're not going to tell me that I'm the wrong color to make that small mouth
00:04:41.660 noise.
00:04:42.480 You're not going to tell me I'm the wrong color to say something.
00:04:45.680 If my white mouth isn't good enough to repeat the words you wrote, you shouldn't be handing
00:04:49.980 me your music to review, okay?
00:04:52.740 Honestly, I mean, how mental to treat the guy that you're having to review your music that
00:04:57.200 way?
00:04:57.960 Why don't you just get over yourself?
00:05:00.340 So I never listened to his music again.
00:05:02.660 I never did.
00:05:03.760 In fact, I don't know if we ever talked again after that, because I'm not going to tolerate 1.00
00:05:08.720 that shit. 1.00
00:05:09.380 I don't put up with it. 1.00
00:05:10.360 So, but the funny thing is that he often had content streaming at work, like he would
00:05:15.100 be watching or listening to something.
00:05:17.420 And I remember stopping through one day and I noticed this fellow, Tommy Sotomayor.
00:05:21.980 And I don't know what he was saying at the time, but it caught my ear because the guy
00:05:26.340 was intelligent.
00:05:28.400 He seemed like he had really something to say.
00:05:31.400 And so I asked him about it.
00:05:32.800 I'm like, who's this guy?
00:05:33.900 And he's like, well, this is Tommy.
00:05:36.300 He's a smart guy.
00:05:37.160 You might like him.
00:05:38.140 You know, you should try listening to him.
00:05:40.320 You know, I've got a lot of white streamers to listen to. 0.83
00:05:42.680 Okay, so I'm not going to give that much of my time to Tommy Sotomayor, even if he's 0.97
00:05:48.000 obese to black.
00:05:49.220 See, but back then, Tommy Sotomayor had not made this statement.
00:05:52.780 You know, that wasn't until some years later.
00:05:55.620 And so when I encountered that statement, I just kind of grinned and chuckled to myself.
00:06:00.160 I'm like, you mean to tell me that the guy who had me review his rap music took an issue
00:06:05.540 with me not self-censoring when I'm repeating his own lyrics?
00:06:09.380 That guy who introduced me to Tommy Sotomayor, he ended up being a perfect example of what
00:06:14.760 Tommy is saying here.
00:06:16.200 And if only he could have, like, let that sink in with him.
00:06:18.960 Because Tommy here clearly sees what I see.
00:06:22.000 Tommy here, you know, clearly would agree with me on racial matters.
00:06:27.180 He clearly would agree with me on what I see of black people. 0.98
00:06:31.760 Especially Americans, but not exclusively.
00:06:34.860 Now, Tommy Sotomayor is, of course, correct.
00:06:37.520 And I will also extend that I think he is an exceptional black man.
00:06:41.420 He clearly is intelligent.
00:06:42.860 I think he seems pretty upstanding.
00:06:44.680 I doubt that he's a criminal.
00:06:46.200 He probably is a cool dude. 1.00
00:06:47.360 I probably could even now sit down and shoot the shit with him for a little while. 0.99
00:06:50.960 I mean, if you can say this, you're smart enough, right? 0.99
00:06:53.580 When even George Lincoln Rockwell was able to sit down with Malcolm X.
00:06:56.780 Or when Malcolm X was able to sit down with, like, Klansman.
00:07:00.580 I think I could manage to sit down with Tommy Sotomayor.
00:07:03.700 I would have to tell him that little story, though, like I've just told you.
00:07:06.960 And I think I want to finish that story with a bit of a flex.
00:07:11.960 Look, I know I can be a little petty, alright?
00:07:14.660 Bear with me, though.
00:07:15.900 It's fun, okay?
00:07:17.420 It's fun.
00:07:18.260 You know, you finally get, you know, a bit of an audience.
00:07:21.100 And there's going to be some things that you want to say.
00:07:23.240 I mean, there were for me, at least. 0.92
00:07:25.280 Especially the people that were shitty along the way.
00:07:27.620 You just kind of want to flex on them just a little bit. 0.86
00:07:30.220 Like, yeah, this is just a 26.4 thousand subscriber channel, okay?
00:07:35.640 Look, I'm not minimizing it in terms of you guys.
00:07:37.760 I really appreciate you all showing up here.
00:07:39.860 But, like, look.
00:07:40.500 All things told, I get it.
00:07:41.760 It's not a massive channel.
00:07:42.880 But, here's the important thing.
00:07:45.400 More people are going to hear me tell this story about my old friend's foolishness trying to play that power game with me than will have ever heard his rap music.
00:07:53.980 Ever.
00:07:54.700 Okay?
00:07:55.280 I've heard he made more money off of advertising dollars than he ever made off of his music.
00:08:00.220 I'm going to make more money probably off this one video talking about this story with him and quoting Tommy Sotomayor here than he'll ever have made off of his rap music.
00:08:10.060 Now, I'm not using that to dodge on his music.
00:08:12.860 I liked it.
00:08:13.800 I thought it was creative. 0.99
00:08:15.000 I thought they did some really interesting, classy shit in it. 0.97
00:08:18.040 You know, some of the stuff they incorporated, it might not have been radio-ready, but that's only because people have poor taste. 0.96
00:08:23.260 Like, they did a good job with this stuff. 0.97
00:08:25.000 And I'll never fucking listen to it again. 0.93
00:08:27.200 I will still never fucking listen to it again. 0.99
00:08:29.660 Because you tried to play a fucking power game on me. 1.00
00:08:32.360 So, I'm going to play a fucking power game on you. 1.00
00:08:34.940 More people are going to hear me talk about this shit than ever heard you. 1.00
00:08:38.300 Ever. 1.00
00:08:38.580 It ever will.
00:08:41.060 So, you know, I just think it's funny.
00:08:43.920 So, thanks for entertaining my pettiness.
00:08:46.040 But, you know, they always flexing in their music.
00:08:48.300 They're always doing a flex or whatever.
00:08:49.900 So, you know, it's just a little bit flexed back.
00:08:52.140 Why not?
00:08:52.960 You guys would be doing it.
00:08:54.560 That's for sure.
00:08:55.560 I hope you find that quote interesting.
00:08:58.160 You know, I have to admit that I'm thankful that there exist certain based blacks who are out there saying sensible things like this. 0.99
00:09:05.840 You know, he's not alone, actually.
00:09:07.940 And that's the thing about it.
00:09:09.380 Is that some black people really are sensible. 1.00
00:09:12.220 And I guarantee I really could just sit down and have a chat with this guy.
00:09:15.340 And hell, if this channel keeps growing and growing and growing, maybe one day I will have a chance to sit down and have a chat with this guy.
00:09:21.200 That would be pretty fucking cool, to be honest with you.
00:09:23.800 Just because why not? 0.78
00:09:24.700 I mean, wouldn't that be interesting? 0.91
00:09:25.760 Got this, you know, avowed, open, white racist just chilling out with Tommy and we're just talking about racial issues. 0.96
00:09:32.800 I can guarantee I wouldn't be ugly with the guy. 0.97
00:09:35.420 I don't treat people ugly like that. 0.86
00:09:37.760 You know, I've got some harsh things to say about the black race collectively. 1.00
00:09:41.200 But, like, one-on-one, the reality is, if you approach me with respect and kindness and I don't feel, you know, in danger around you, I'm still going to treat you with respect and kindness.
00:09:52.700 It may be, obviously, that I want a white nation. 0.98
00:09:55.280 I want self-determination.
00:09:56.800 I want separatism.
00:09:58.040 But in the meantime, I don't have that.
00:10:00.140 So, guess what?
00:10:00.800 I've got to try, at least in most situations, to try to get along, okay? 0.98
00:10:04.940 Now I moved way the fuck out to the country, in part because I get to reduce my encounters with black people. 1.00
00:10:12.160 Look, less is better, alright? 0.99
00:10:14.800 I got to reduce my encounters with them.
00:10:16.920 But, you know, I mean, even so, if I'm in the company of one that seems to be an outlier, that seems to be a part of the 10%, for whom the other 90% make look bad, 0.99
00:10:26.740 then I'm, you know, I'm likely to be at least more open to sitting and having a chat.
00:10:31.460 Why not?
00:10:32.160 I'm not so viscerally appalled by the sight of black skin that I just can't stand it. 1.00
00:10:36.840 I'm just really fucking tired of ninjas, you know what I mean? 0.98
00:10:40.120 Just like he is. 0.98
00:10:41.520 Tommy Sotomayor is tired of ninjas, you know?
00:10:45.660 And everything that he just said out of his black lips here is exactly how I feel, and it's exactly how the rest of us feel. 0.96
00:10:53.240 I mean, again, I still feel like he was optimistic in terms of his concept of how racist white Americans are. 0.70
00:11:00.020 By and large, we need to step our game up, you know, in the racism department.
00:11:04.520 You know, it still remains that we're the one racial group in this country that doesn't have in-group preference. 0.99
00:11:09.420 So we're gonna really have to work on that shit. 0.98
00:11:12.020 And, you know, let's not disappoint Tommy here, okay? 0.99
00:11:15.060 I don't want to disappoint the guy.
00:11:16.620 You know how people say, like, be the American, the Japanese people think you are?
00:11:20.840 Well, right now, I'm telling you, be the white man that Tommy Sotomayor thinks you are.
00:11:27.620 You know? 0.98
00:11:28.360 Be the racist that he's defending here. 0.75
00:11:32.240 Just a suggestion, you know? 0.96
00:11:36.600 Get you one.
00:11:37.660 It's in the shop in the description.
00:11:39.400 Also, white boy summer and white girl summer shirts available in the shop in the description, among other cool things.
00:11:44.700 And if you haven't subscribed to my ex, please do so at the Shameless Sperg. 1.00

00:11:55.960 Anyway, I appreciate you guys for the support.
00:11:58.800 I hope that you have a great day.
00:12:00.780 I will try to upload here soon.
