Transgenderism has exploded into the public consciousness over the last few years, and it has been a huge part of the leftist agenda. But why can t the left see that this is a logical extension of their own ideology? And why are they so hard on the left when it comes to the issue of race?
00:00:00.420Hey everybody, how's it going? Thanks for joining me this afternoon. I've got a great stream that I think you're really going to enjoy.
00:00:07.040So one of the things that I like to do on the show from time to time is take one of these ridiculous leftist articles,
00:00:14.340take something that the progressives are tying themselves up in knots about, and kind of break down the language involved here.
00:00:21.980Now I'm sure many of you are very aware of the fact that transgenderism has been a huge part of the leftist push.
00:00:28.120Obviously this stuff is getting forced into your face everywhere. It's getting forced to the face of your children in school, in their programming, in their kids' books.
00:00:37.020This is just a massive push by the left. Many people feel like it came out of nowhere. Of course we know that it didn't.
00:00:43.280It's been building for a very long time. It's a logical extension of much of what the left has been doing.
00:00:48.780But for a lot of people they're shocked that this has kind of exploded into the public consciousness over the last few years.
00:00:56.160Now obviously the logical continuation of the idea that one could change their gender or biological sex, we'll get into that in a second. Don't worry, we'll parse that in a moment.
00:01:07.980But the implications of that would be that there are other characteristics of oneself that were previously thought to be immutable,
00:01:17.580but now could be something that could be altered through surgery or therapy or social change, these kind of things.
00:01:25.920But you'll notice that there's a hard block on the left when it comes to the issue of race.
00:01:30.960And we can see from this article from NBC that they're going to put a really hard wall between the idea that one can transition their race, that they can change their race.
00:01:41.600Now if they've already decided that somebody's hard-coded biological sex could be changed, obviously this should be something that's on the table, but it's not.
00:01:52.140And there's a really interesting reason as to why.
00:01:54.620So we're going to be picking this apart, looking at the leftist language.
00:02:16.820And we can't let them get away with it.
00:02:18.520America was made for an educated and engaged citizenry.
00:02:21.780The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is here to help.
00:02:24.880ISI offers programs and opportunities for conservative students across the country.
00:02:30.080ISI understands that conservatives and right-of-center students feel isolated on college campuses and that you're often fighting for your own reputation, dignity, and future.
00:02:39.580Through ISI, you can learn about what Russell Kirk called the permanent things, the philosophical and political teachings that shaped and made Western civilization great.
00:02:48.780ISI offers many opportunities to jumpstart your career.
00:02:52.280They have fellowships at some of the nation's top conservative publications like National Review, The American Conservative, and The College Thinker.
00:02:59.360If you're a graduate student, ISI offers funding opportunities to sponsor the next great generation of college professors.
00:03:05.380Through ISI, you can work with conservative thinkers who are making a difference.
00:03:09.280Thinkers like Chris Ruffo, who currently has an ISI researcher helping him with his book.
00:03:14.040But perhaps most importantly, ISI offers college students a community of people that can help them grow.
00:03:19.740If you're a college student, ISI can help you start a student organization or a student newspaper or meet other like-minded students at their various conferences and events.
00:03:29.240ISI is here to educate the next generation of great Americans.
00:03:37.440All right, guys, so let's go ahead and jump to the article here.
00:03:41.080Now, before we do that, I do just want to say off the bat, obviously, the title of this stream, this show, is a little bit of a clickbait, right?
00:03:50.880We'll just get that out of the way right now.
00:03:52.800That is not something that you can do.
00:03:55.100You do not have the option to do that in real life.
00:03:57.780That's not a real discussion that we're having here.
00:04:00.060The point of this stream is not to have a discussion, to have the dialectic kind of unravel the idea of race so that we can kind of have this breakdown of a concept that most people already have a grasp on.
00:04:15.920The point is to look at why the left won't do that, right?
00:04:19.120Because they're willing to break down every other barrier.
00:04:21.400They're willing to destroy every other concept that is kind of important to people's identity, to tradition, to kind of all these things that have been part of the world for many thousands of years.
00:04:33.180They're willing to break down everything.
00:04:35.180But the one thing they're not willing to break down, they're not willing to let people kind of change, let it just become a deracinated thing that you can just take in and out like a piece of Mr. Potato Head.
00:04:46.400But one thing you're not allowed to switch around with is race.
00:05:06.700The question we're really asking is why does the left not think you can do that?
00:05:10.600Why are these people who think every other aspect of identity is malleable, interchangeable, drop that at a moment's notice and swap that with something else?
00:05:18.160Why is this the one thing they won't let people touch?
00:05:21.380So we're going to look into their own words, look at why they're evaluating it that way and see if there's anything we can glean about the progressive mind and kind of why they approach the issue in this manner.
00:05:32.940So let's go ahead and dive into our topic today.
00:05:38.900Inside the online world of people who think they can change their race, practitioners of race change to another or RCTA purport to be able to manifest physical changes in their parents and even in their genetics to truly become a different race.
00:06:00.280Since before she hit double digits, Alyssa, 15, said she had a special connection with Japan.
00:06:06.980The high school student who asked to be anonymous for fear of being doxxed online was born in Ukraine.
00:06:12.440By the way, this is the one time that they'll actually protect somebody's anonymity online, but was born in Ukraine and lives in Maryland.
00:06:21.300But she now goes by the Japanese name Miyuki and listens to subliminals that promise that she will wake up and be more Japanese.
00:06:31.000So far, she believes that by listening to YouTube videos with lo-fi music and photos of East Asian facial features while she sleeps, her vision has cleared.
00:06:40.740Her eyelids have become smaller and her hair has become a little bit darker.
00:07:03.580And she felt like she wanted to be more Japanese.
00:07:06.860Now, the really obvious thing here is just to say, no, like, of course, that can't happen.
00:07:11.500You can't you can't just listen to this or watch this and transform yourself in this.
00:07:17.060But it's kind of understandable that many young people having being fed this idea that they can change their gender or their sex.
00:07:24.680Again, we'll we'll we'll nail down that terminology here in just a second.
00:07:27.800But that the idea that they can transition, like, really key parts of who they are at a moment's notice by just, you know, wearing different clothing, maybe eventually going through more serious changes like surgery or hormone therapy.
00:07:41.280It's it becomes pretty obvious that a lot of young people will kind of take the next step and think, well, I could probably transition other parts of myself.
00:07:50.340I could probably transition other aspects of my identity by simply consuming the right thing right now.
00:07:56.880Now, there's nothing new about young kids having, you know, some idea that they they might be able to change something about themselves.
00:08:04.080There's nothing new, unfortunately, even about people believing that by consuming different types of media, they might be able to go through some kind of transformation.
00:08:14.520It should have been something that's easily dismissed.
00:08:16.520But given our current kind of paradigm, it's not because the left has created this framework in which these kind of characteristics should, in theory, be able to be transitioned.
00:08:26.220So this girl has what should be a silly idea that everyone should be able to easily dismiss.
00:08:31.400But we can't easily dismiss it because of kind of the framework that the left has set up.
00:08:59.040But the vast majority of times they're specifically picking weird subcultures because they want to push an idea.
00:09:05.460They want to they want to put something into the public consciousness.
00:09:08.280So it's very unlikely that somebody felt compelled to to pick up this story just because it was so popular and because it was having such a big social effect.
00:09:19.440The far more likely scenario is that this story was specifically chosen so that they could say something they wanted to say.
00:09:27.780The topic was chosen in particular so the journalist could go on a soapbox about something that they wanted to talk about, an issue they wanted to settle.
00:09:35.480So jumping back into the article here, practitioners of what they call race change to another or RCTA purport to be able to manifest physical changes in their parents and even their genetics to become a different race.
00:09:48.660They tune into subliminal videos that claim they can give them East Asian appearance or DNA.
00:09:55.680But experts underscore that simply is impossible to change their race.
00:09:59.220So, again, something that should be obvious, it should be should be very clear that just listening to a random video, subliminal or not, whatever that is supposed to mean, you know, that that's not going to literally rewrite your DNA.
00:10:13.600That's not going to change facial features or cultural backgrounds or skin tone or any of these other things that might be identified with possible racial identities.
00:10:24.600That none of that stuff is going to come by just consuming some video.
00:10:28.940But again, a lot of people, you know, remember, the majority of young people now claiming to go through kind of this transgender moment.
00:10:38.060They don't actually go through with with even hormone therapy, much less surgery.
00:10:43.160The vast majority of people who interact with this ideology and start to claim it simply make basic superficial changes in things like the way they talk, the way they grow their hair, the way they wear their hair, the way they wear their what kind of clothes they wear.
00:10:56.320They make very superficial changes that are not unlike kind of this cartoonish idea of what it means to be a different race.
00:11:04.800Right. So so a lot of people who are trying to mimic a lot of men who want to mimic becoming women, pick the most cartoonish aspects of femininity, kind of kind of the things that are pushed by ad agencies, those kind of things.
00:11:18.640And those are the things that they mimic. Right. They're always over the top characters of what a woman is.
00:11:23.400They're not really adopting the feminine in particular.
00:11:26.660They're adopting kind of these kind of these marketed characteristics and they're taking them to the extremes.
00:11:33.460They're obviously not adopting anything about what it is, the core identity of being a woman, of being feminine.
00:11:39.700They can't. That's not something they can do.
00:11:42.060And so the vast majority of people who undergo those kinds of transitions are having basically the same idea as these people who are thinking that they can just watch a YouTube video and suddenly transform themselves.
00:11:55.480The vast majority of people who go through a transition are not doing the actual physical commitment, the more painful and an extreme commitment of taking chemicals that permanently alter their body, you know, that that actually have the surgery.
00:12:10.560They just go through these very superficial things, right, that allow them to kind of achieve certain parts of this identity and get kind of the moral protection, the social clout of entering into this without actually going through the hard work of mutilating themselves.
00:12:25.980And so while you might laugh at reading this, why this is kind of comical in a way, because it is, it really is very close to what the majority of people who try to go through transition in the gender or sexual sense do most of the time.
00:12:45.040They're not usually taking those more radical steps.
00:12:47.380Now, before we go any further, and obviously, you know, this is going to get compared to transgenderism multiple times.
00:12:53.840So so we kind of need to clarify here real quick.
00:12:56.840One thing that a lot of people on the left love to do is say that that conservatives conflate gender and sex, right?
00:13:04.100They say that gender is the social manifestation of femininity or masculinity, male or female.
00:13:11.040It's the gender is the social construct.
00:13:14.180And then the and then the biological sex is the the actual hard physical parts, you know, what's actually in your DNA, what's actually written into your genetic code, these kind of things.
00:13:26.920That's the distinction that sometimes they try to make.
00:13:29.160The funny thing is, if you watch leftists, they never actually hold on to this view, right?
00:13:33.800They themselves will immediately conflate gender and sex the minute they walk away from kind of correcting conservatives or people on the right for doing the same thing.
00:13:43.700They don't actually hold to this idea, to these different definitions.
00:13:48.200And increasingly, you're seeing leftists progressives say that you can actually change your biological sex as well.
00:13:55.260Now, we really should make it clear because I'm going to stop using the doublespeak from here on out.
00:14:00.880I just needed to clarify that that biological sex is itself a term of doublespeak.
00:14:26.160There's nothing you can do about that.
00:14:27.740There's there's no treatment, surgeries, chemicals that will ever change that.
00:14:31.140None of that actually does anything real at the end of the day to alter that your your social expression of that will be tied to your biology, the biological biological reality there.
00:14:48.360Now, there are obviously large spectrums insides, right there.
00:15:14.040So I just wanted to clarify that as we get into this, because I'm just going to refer to transgenderism as the idea that you can change your actual sex.
00:15:23.040The one that you were born with, because that is now increasingly something that that leftists are pushing.
00:15:28.700They are going for the more radical idea.
00:15:30.560They they did what you always do, the dialectic.
00:15:33.260Right. So they advance this this notion that gender is a social construct and that that can be manipulated.
00:15:40.220That can be changed because it's not really tied to any biological reality.
00:15:44.380And then as soon as people accept that kind of Martin Bailey strategy, then they go out and they advance their more radical idea, which is that actually you can change the core biology that that that that transition can be a purely biological one.
00:16:00.700And that there is no difference, that things are exactly the same no matter what.
00:16:05.660So just want to clarify, as we move forward, whenever I refer to that, that that's kind of what I'm talking about.
00:16:11.580We're not going to play around with the leftist language games of, you know, we're not going to play with the new speak and the double speak.
00:16:17.820We're just going to know that they are asserting that real biology can be changed.
00:16:34.260Well, it's a social construct and then it's biological reality.
00:16:37.360And then it's they may do that shuffle.
00:16:39.620But at the end of the day, they are advancing the idea of biology itself and change.
00:16:43.640And so when we look at what they're talking about with race here, we have to kind of approach it with the same eyes to how they're kind of constructing that narrative.
00:17:13.480So it's it's just belief, says Jamie Cohen, an assistant professor of cultural and media studies at Queens College to the City University of New York.
00:17:23.400So I want to be clear, right, we're the first place we're going for our experts is a professor of cultural and media studies.
00:17:44.460We're not talking to somebody with a hard science background or hard math background, somebody who's familiar with the actual biochemistry.
00:17:52.160No, we're we're going to a professor of cultural and media studies.
00:17:59.800It doesn't really work because it's not doing anything, but they have convinced themselves that it works because there are other people who have convinced themselves as well.
00:18:12.040So you're telling me that if, like, some young people generate a crazy idea about how they can alter a fundamental characteristic of their identity and they start spreading that around, just because that becomes popular in the zeitgeist that it gets pushed by certain influence and things, that doesn't mean it actually works.
00:18:33.640Now, I wonder if you could apply that to any other social phenomenon like transgenderism, right?
00:18:40.220Immediately we run into them deconstructing their own position in a different way, right?
00:18:46.520They're going to spend a lot of time talking about why this really central, important characteristic of race is not malleable in a way that all the other characteristics that the left wants to be able to change at a moment's notice.
00:19:02.620And they're going to afford a lot of arguments that are going to disprove their position in other areas.
00:19:08.600But I want you to understand for the left, contradictions aren't really a problem.
00:19:12.540You're thinking it's a logical contradiction problem.
00:19:15.660Not really, OK, because they're going to hold these two ideas as completely separate, as if these logical processes that apply to one thing can never possibly apply to the other.
00:19:28.280Many of you are guessing ahead as to why, you know, but give me a second.
00:19:32.780I want to work through the language of the article before we dig into what may be obvious for some as to why race is so important to them.
00:19:39.660But yeah, let's go back to our article here for a second.
00:19:43.760Though they do not constitute a full-blown trend.
00:19:46.960So again, this isn't a big deal, right?
00:19:54.580The journalists wanted to write this article.
00:19:56.700Now, to be fair, part of this is content grind.
00:19:59.300You guys have to understand this about being a journalist.
00:20:01.620If you have a background in content production, if you've been involved in the need to constantly produce this kind of stuff, you understand that one of the reasons that journalists are always, like, hunting down these obscure stories that no one else would have normally paid attention to is because they've got to produce content constantly, right?
00:20:18.500And so that means that journalism kind of in and of itself, especially when you have this wide spectrum of constant journalism churning all the time, is going to hunt down these smaller and smaller kind of avenues.
00:20:30.460But also, this is something that the journalists wanted to talk about.
00:20:33.280This is not a full-blown trend, but they wanted this to be an issue because they probably saw somewhere out in the back of their mind.
00:20:40.540And they saw that, you know, people were thinking this and they saw some wrong thing.
00:20:44.580You know, some people were recognizing logical patterns and they didn't like that logical recognition.
00:20:50.040So they needed to go ahead and stop this by writing this article.
00:20:53.160Though this does not constitute a full-blown trend, a number of racial subliminal creators have popped up on YouTube in recent years, with videos racking up an average of a half a million views apiece.
00:21:04.880On TikTok, dozens of accounts have emerged in recent weeks sharing similar goals and aesthetics and documenting what people describe as their race change journeys.
00:21:15.780So interestingly, again, like, so one of the things that has become part of the leftist religious ritual are these journeys, right?
00:21:25.520In the same way that a Christian would share their conversion to Christianity, or a Muslim might share their story of their pilgrimage, you know, there's a key aspect of kind of this leftist journey, which is your, you know, coming out to your parents, you know, having a different sexual orientation,
00:21:45.160or sharing your journey of transition from one thing to another, right?
00:21:50.820There's the kind of this shared religious kind of transformational experience, this metamorphosis that you need to share with others.
00:22:01.760And so a lot of kids kind of are picking up on this, right?
00:22:05.780A lot of young people are picking up on this and they're saying, well, I'll just take that ritual and I'll apply it to race.
00:22:13.420If I can apply it to my sexual preference, if I can apply it to my, you know, to my gender or even my biological sex, you know, then obviously I can apply that to my race.
00:22:26.140But of course, oh, no, no, no, don't do that.
00:22:28.720We have to have a panicked leftist article about why you can't do that.
00:22:31.820But we can recognize kind of that pseudo-religious sacramental process that the young person wants to engage in because they're kind of floating in this progressive, you know, ideological soup,
00:22:47.880but not understanding why that line, this particular line exists around race when it doesn't exist around other kind of innate traits, right?
00:22:56.920Media experts also point to the potential dark side of the exoticization of Asian culture, saying that it could be a form of modern yellow face or the act of non-Asian people making their parents more Asian-like, right?
00:23:14.620So the first thing is not really to talk about why this isn't a reality, why this can't actually happen, why you can't actually transition this.
00:23:25.500The first thing is to talk about how it could be offensive, right?
00:23:30.080So, yeah, you might want to transition your race just like you might want to transition your gender or sex or whatever, but you need to be aware of the fact that it could be offensive.
00:23:41.720It could engage in, you know, yellow face, right?
00:23:50.820Korean-American poet Margaret Rhee, an assistant professor, because of course she's a professor, of media studies.
00:23:57.700Again, no biologists here, nobody who's going to give us any kind of science.
00:24:04.340It's nothing but kind of soft social science here.
00:24:09.380An assistant professor of media studies at the News School in New York said that RCTA phenomenon reflects the current media climate in which Eastern Asian Americans enjoy widespread popularity internationally and in the U.S.
00:24:23.920There's also the underbelly of, and this is a quote from the poet here, the poet and assistant professor.
00:24:31.260There's also the underbelly of that there, there's also the underbelly of that, I can't read, sorry, I'm being destroyed by the sentence.
00:24:40.660There's also the underbelly of that where we want to be careful.
00:24:46.060We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.
00:30:01.040But you can change your gender and you can't change your race because race is really at its core about systemic inequalities that are inherent, right?
00:30:12.020So what really makes you one race or another is not like your heritage.
00:30:23.840What makes you a particular race is the systemic inequalities that you inherit, right?
00:30:28.260It's your position in the social hierarchy.
00:30:31.560So really, the reason we can't mess with race, the reason that race needs to be unassailable is not that it has some, you know, inborn scientific, you know, truth, according to the article here, but because it messes with the leftist social hierarchy and messes with the oppressive oppression Olympics.
00:30:50.460If we're able to change our race, then those who are being pressed constantly guilted about their race, mainly white people, could escape it, right?
00:31:01.040In the same way that men who are constantly being told they're evil for being men can escape their masculinity by becoming women, white people who are constantly told that they're, like, inherently evil for being white could escape their evil racial past by transitioning to another race.
00:31:18.120But it's really important that we can't do that because actually that's the core of leftist ideology at this point.
00:31:25.500Like, this racial hierarchy of oppression is the fundamental foundation of kind of how the left is extracting power, how it's applying guilt to different groups.
00:31:35.960Now, it's weird. It's interesting here because, of course, if you think about this for even a moment, part of the leftist ideology is that women are one of the most oppressed groups, right?
00:31:49.240Even though they make up more than half the population, they're one of the most oppressed groups.
00:32:03.760So even though that is a systemic inequality, right?
00:32:06.000The left says that women are treated as unequal because they are women, and that is a systemic inequality.
00:32:12.640Even though that is built in to this kind of hierarchy of grievances, you can change that aspect, but you can't change the racial aspect.
00:32:21.560So both gender and race, according to this article, are social constructs, and because they're social constructs, you should be able to alter them at any time.
00:32:33.700But you can't alter race because race is not really anything to do with genetics or skin culture or like where you came from, your lineage, any of that stuff.
00:33:01.860So just this one sentence right here completely destroys pretty much all of leftist ideology because either both of these things are social constructs, cultural constructs that can be altered.
00:33:14.980Or they can't be altered, even though they're social constructs, because there's a systemic inequality that's inherent in that identity, right?
00:33:29.620It has to because this is how the left has kind of constructed their ideological narrative.
00:33:35.420Let's get a little deeper into this here.
00:33:38.060David Front, a historian of race and politics, again, you'll notice, not a scientist around, not a biologist around, none of that.
00:33:49.840A historian of race and politics and an associate professor at the University of Maryland College Park corroborates the idea that a biological race does not exist.
00:34:01.140What we know today as race is a combination of inherent characteristics and cultural traditions passed down through the generations, he says.
00:34:08.940Okay, so I'm going to make some people angry here.
00:34:20.600And this is something that Spangler, Oswald Spangler and Julius Evola, so all the people getting angry about in the chat here, hang with me here.
00:34:33.660This is something that Oswald Spangler, for instance, particularly became angry about.
00:34:39.240He did not like that the idea of race had simply become purely genetic, right?
00:34:45.760He thought that it was not simply a scientific truth, that there's something larger, metaphysical, all these other things that were kind of bound into race, right?
00:35:01.020And so he thought this modernization, this kind of gross, simplistic understanding of race was too blunt because it relied entirely on DNA, genetics, all this stuff, instead of understanding kind of a wider cultural aspect of heritage and tradition, you know, genetic, you know, whatever.
00:35:22.340But also culture and these things that are passed down, belief, all these things, you know, that it is a combination of these things.
00:35:31.440And so what he's saying here is kind of true, that this is not just, you know, inherited characteristics.
00:37:22.400But because you can't transfer the systemic racial hierarchy and an oppression from one group to another, that's why you can't actually alter these things.
00:37:33.520Like, again, these things are no less connected, right?
00:37:37.960There are racial and cultural aspects.
00:37:40.560Sorry, there are genetic and cultural aspects to both these things.
00:37:43.980If you can alter one, then you should be able to alter another.
00:37:46.820Either these are both social constructs entirely or they're both biological realities or they're a mixture of both.
00:37:54.240You have to consistently pick what is true about these parts of human identity.
00:38:00.540You don't just get to randomly switch between them whenever it becomes convenient for your narrative.
00:38:05.220But, of course, that's exactly what they're doing because they need to continually lock people into this idea that racial hierarchy is not malleable because you have to have that continuous oppression.
00:38:16.520You can't just have, you know, progressive whites jumping ship and becoming other races so they can escape kind of the racial Olympics because that would kind of deconstruct your entire system, which apparently the race is more central to gender or sex or actually sex is something that is part of the oppression Olympics.
00:38:37.380It is something that they hold important, that they do think transfers systemic oppression.
00:38:47.380Sorry, ladies, you're not as important.
00:38:49.360Your perceived oppression is not as important to the left as racial oppression.
00:38:55.080That one is more central and that one has to continue no matter what.
00:38:59.620There's no way to escape this the same way you can escape kind of the whole, you know, gender wars by just claiming to be non-binary or something and wearing it, getting a weird haircut.
00:39:12.980So, Frond added that the idea of changing one's race operates differently depending on a person's racial background and that white people who seek to transition to other races can often sidestep the harms of racism.
00:39:27.060So, again, really interesting that the first thing that they key on is the dangers of letting white people transition to another race.
00:39:34.380Now, again, you have to ask yourself if there's really this racial hierarchy in which, you know, whites have this this system of oppression that they're the ones getting all of these benefits.
00:39:45.600Why are they the ones constantly looking to transition out of this?
00:39:49.060Like, if you have a lottery ticket, if being white is a lottery ticket and it lets you do whatever you want, if it really gives you all these advantages, why would you ever let go of that, right?
00:39:58.360Why would you be looking to transition?
00:39:59.960But then they immediately identify white people as the ones who would most likely want to transition and they want to make it clear that you don't shed your genetic guilt, right?
00:40:09.000Even though race is definitely not genetic, right?
00:40:11.840Even though race is definitely not something that is a genetic reality, there is no biological race, according to them.
00:40:19.620Just to be clear, you can't actually get rid of that original sin, that white guilt, even if you attempt to transition to another race.
00:40:25.480You could transition to another sex, which is somehow less of a biological reality, I guess.
00:40:31.420But you cannot transition to races because you could avoid the harms of racism, right?
00:40:37.400For some reason, that would allow you to avoid the harms of racism in the way that moving from male to female in their constriction would not allow you to avoid the harms of sexism.
00:40:47.920Why are these things so malleable in one case and not as the other?
00:40:53.640Kevin Nadal, a professor of psychology.
00:40:57.160Again, you'll notice, no biologists, no geneticists, no scientists of any kind really here.
00:41:05.820A professor of psychology at City University of New York said,
00:41:10.120there is privilege in being able to change your race or to say that you're changing your race.
00:41:15.020There are many people who would be unable to even change their race.
00:41:18.320Particularly black people in this country would be unable to say all of a sudden I'm white and be treated with the same privileges that white people have.
00:41:54.020This is a progressive assertion that women are systemically oppressed, that they are victims, that there's something inherent about being a woman that makes you a victim.
00:42:01.960And you're constantly under this bias, right?
00:42:10.080And then they say, but you could just, you know, move yourself from a man to a woman, and suddenly you get to inherit all of those things about being a woman, and all of those things about you being a man just disappear, right?
00:42:23.620But for some reason, that can't be the case if you do it with race.
00:42:27.020Certain people of color throughout history have been able to pass as white to survive.
00:42:32.560Walter Francis White, the son of two enslaved people, for example, used his ability to blend in as a white to champion civil rights for African Americans as a leader of the NAACP.
00:42:45.340But most people of color are not afforded the same opportunity.
00:42:49.200So, I mean, yeah, I mean, obviously there are people who look more or less one race or another, but again, that's kind of weird that you're saying, well, some people inherit less of these features that make them obviously one race, so they can pass as another race, but also race isn't genetic.
00:43:09.020So, like, okay, so did these people inherit those features or not?
00:43:14.840How did they inherit them from their parents if this isn't a genetic thing?
00:43:18.780If this is a completely cultural construct, then why would they not just be white if they pass for white, right?
00:43:26.560Because they have all the things that allow them to be white in theory, right?
00:43:31.300So how could those people be another race if they're passing for that, if it's just a social construct?
00:43:37.700Or if it's a mixture of the two and they mostly inherited, you know, these features that identify them as one race and they are passing and they are therefore given the social status of that race in your oppression narrative, why would they have any ties?
00:43:55.160I guess then, since they qualify in all of your areas of kind of inherited characteristics and a lack of social impression, why would they have any ties to this other race?
00:44:09.320Unless, of course, you're tying it genetically, which it seems like you are.
00:44:12.800The author cannot keep it consistent between paragraphs as to what they actually think that race is.
00:44:26.240But even when people have the mix or they pass for one thing or another, they inherit the traits or they have the social standing that's complete social construction, they still qualify as the other thing, right?
00:44:38.660So there's just never a consistently between one, you know, kind of one identity and another.
00:44:45.420RCTA and transracialism, which came to the forefront because of controversial figures like Rachel Dolezal, have been compared to being transgender.
00:44:54.720However, psychologists enact this pushback against this comparison.
00:44:58.340Well, I guess they better because this is the obvious thing that you would assume, right?
00:45:02.400If Rachel Dolezal can't transition from white to black, why can't a man become a woman?
00:45:10.160They seem to share the same aspects of being, you know, biological in some sense and cultural in another.
00:45:17.640They seem to have very similar, you know, constructions in the leftist mind.
00:45:22.520But for some reason, one of these is sacrosanct and can never be altered while the other one can be altered at a moment's notice without any kind of significant effort.
00:45:31.180Rachel Dolezal, I think, has a pretty solid case for why she should be, you know, compared to any given transgender person.
00:45:39.140But of course, she can't be because that core identity is too sacred to the progressive coalition.
00:45:43.920So, Tique Milan, a black transgender activist and writer, said that it is a disservice to transgender people to compare the two.
00:45:56.300Race historically emerges as a social construct to establish a racial hierarchy with the white race at the top.
00:46:03.560Whereas variances in gender identity have existed for thousands of years, he said.
00:46:08.440Okay, so the differences between men and women are very valuable, apparently, but have existed since the dawn of time.
00:46:20.720Race is new, developed specifically by white people to oppress other races and put themselves on top.
00:46:34.780And so in this leftist construction, this thing that is core to the biological continuance of the human species is completely malleable and can be changed at any time and always has been, even though it's existed from the beginning of time.
00:46:50.600But this thing that was completely a social construct created in, I guess, like the last couple hundred years is something that can never be changed for no reason at all.
00:47:01.380Again, this is obviously just a construction of ideological convenience.
00:47:05.460This is obviously something that has been created by leftists simply to go ahead and assure that their kind of power narrative stays in place, their political formula stays in place.
00:47:17.820And that political formula is predicated on the idea that all these other groups that aren't white have to, like, have some kind of racial grievance against what they see as an oppressive white majority.
00:47:30.740That's the core of the coalition, right?
00:47:32.980Everything else, the we're fighting for women, all that stuff can really be tossed aside at a moment's notice.
00:48:00.340It has nothing to do with social construction or any of this other stuff.
00:48:05.620It's just that they have to keep this narrative, this hierarchy in place at all times.
00:48:10.560That is a central truth that cannot be assailed.
00:48:13.100That's what the coalition is actually constructed around.
00:48:16.260When it comes to who we are as racialized people, it is how we present to the world, but it's also about how people treat you.
00:48:25.120Well, again, how can that not be said about sex or gender or whatever you're calling it?
00:48:30.660Like, okay, if you want to go with that sentence, that gets easily just copy pasted onto gender or sex.
00:48:39.300Again, you should, if you had any hope of logical consistently, have to have it one way or another, but they're not interested in logical.
00:48:46.300It's not just putting on the hair and makeup and talking and walking in a kind of way that is fetishizing it and objectifying it and reducing it reduces the beauty and complicated cultures of people and of color.
00:49:00.880Okay, so again, it's fine to fetishize being a woman.
00:49:07.000It's fine to caricature being a woman.
00:49:10.300It's fine to throw on the hair and the makeup and whatever and become a woman if you're a man.
00:49:36.980Again, no hope at a logical conclusion.
00:49:41.320Alyssa began posting under her account, blah, blah, blah, blah, on TikTok.
00:49:45.300While she found the community of like-minded people, she has also encountered a slew of hate messages and even death threats.
00:49:50.660Yeah, it turns out like people don't like it when you just try to assume, you know, their identity when you aren't, that they find it offensive.
00:49:59.760I think that's kind of reasonable and understandable.
00:50:03.040But why would she be interested in doing that?
00:50:05.220Why does she want to cast off this amazing and powerful position of white privilege to enter into, you know, identifying as a different race?
00:50:15.620I think the answers are obvious, but, you know, they're going to completely sidestep in this article over and over again.
00:50:21.780Her account, like many of those R-C-T-A TikTok creators, features walls of rambling text about her progress and goals and addresses the haters over videos of fashionable East Asian women dancing to Japanese and Korean music.
00:50:34.560Again, this is all just mimicking the kind of leftist religious tradition at this point, right?
00:50:40.700You're going through the sacraments, you talk about your oppression, you talk about the haters, you talk about your transition and the beauty of it, right?
00:50:49.060These are all things that leftists do when they're doing their sexuality or their gender, their sex, when they're going through those transitions, as they call them.
00:50:58.860They're just mimicking that same behavior and logically applying it to the next step.
00:51:04.460The only reason that they're writing an article about how offensive it is, is that they hit a identity that is core to the leftist coalition.
00:51:11.660The thing that actually matters to them is not women, it's race.
00:51:15.260That's the thing that they want to build their coalition around.
00:51:17.920Ever since I was about nine, I've always loved Japanese culture and I've always wanted to move there, even before I discovered this.
00:51:24.580Again, something that's totally natural for people to kind of come across something that, you know, a simple parental correction could have fixed, right?
00:51:37.180It's okay to learn about it, but you obviously can't just like make videos that change your race any more than you can, you know, listen to a video and then like cut your hair and wear different clothes and become a different sex, right?
00:51:52.180There's nothing you can do about that.
00:51:53.640Um, but you know, obviously, uh, going to ignore that, uh, in the first video she posted on Tik TOK, she introduced herself through a combination of Japanese and English sheds.
00:52:02.240So they talk a little more about her experience here, but I think we kind of get the idea of this, uh, subliminals, which are audio files or video files intended to evoke certain outcomes such as growing taller or achieving good grades.
00:52:14.260Um, so like one of these things is something you could do if you actually did work, but one of these things is something you can't do, uh, because again, it's,
00:52:23.640uh, uh, exploded in popularity during the pandemic.
00:52:26.680Cohen said they emerged as part of a larger, uh, trend in which people hope to manifest changes and been in reality to achieve certain goals, similar to meditation.
00:52:36.440Subliminals often feature soothing music and visuals.
00:52:39.220Um, and then, you know, it talks about how it can change their DNA, which obviously you can't do, uh, you can't do if you're trying to become male or female and you can't do it.
00:52:48.980If you're trying to become a different race, these things are, should be consistent.
00:52:51.580Uh, creators of subliminals post on YouTubes with eye-catching hyperbolic titles and promise their views, instant gratification, good grades, blah, blah, blah.
00:52:59.300So they're just going to talk about the dangers of, you know, uh, this, this girl thinking that, you know, she can come a different race here.
00:53:06.760It's all very bad, even though it mirrors everything that they believe, uh, about, uh, kind of biological sex.
00:53:28.520So they talk about the Middle Easterner, uh, but they're going to keep focusing on why it's, they're not going to go about a Middle Eastern, uh, privilege.
00:53:37.040And they're going to talk about Egyptian privilege, right?
00:53:38.840It's only going to be about why white people shouldn't be able to transition their race.
00:53:42.140Uh, even though they bring up other people of other races who do want to become Japanese.
00:53:46.100And here we see them going back to this narrative, right?
00:53:48.560Uh, for white Americans, racial trauma can take the form of being ashamed for engaging in racism, having failed to stop others from engaging in racism or not having lived up to a non-racist ideal said, uh, Naomi Torres Mackey, a psychologist, again, never a scientist, never a geneticist, never a biologist, uh, at Lenox Hill hospital in New York.
00:54:12.140So again, we see, we see the problem is that someone could attempt to escape the racial narrative of guilt of being white by trying to assume these other identities.
00:54:25.080These other, this, this Egyptian girl, she's trying to do the same thing.
00:54:28.480It's not, it's not just a phenomenon among white people, but the only people were really worried about trying to change that is, uh, is white people.
00:54:35.760And you'll see that how important this narrative is here, right?
00:54:38.300Why would this child believe, why, why would a young, uh, you know, uh, you know, middle schooler or high schooler believe that they should be ashamed of being a white person?
00:54:49.660Well, because they've been told that that means just being white means that they're engaging in racism, uh, that they, that, you know, that they should have stopped racism perceived somewhere, or that they're not living up to a non-racist ideal.
00:55:02.040Uh, back to the, uh, to the article here, it says that racial guilt is what she calls white shame and can lead to white people wanting to escape from the guilt through RCTA or transracialism.
00:55:13.640So yeah, unsurprisingly, you set up a narrative where white people are inherently evil, where, uh, just being born with this particular skin color makes you a bad person where you're, you are genetically, even though it's not genetic, where you're somehow have this original sin.
00:55:34.440And, and that means you're a racist by definition means it's your job to run around trying to stop racisms, wherever you might see them.
00:55:41.740Um, and that you, you have to live up to some non-racist ideal, whatever that happens to mean at the moment.
00:55:47.040And that, that creates this white shame in you.
00:55:49.500And so like, there's this, again, a simultaneous narrative that, uh, you know, there's this privilege, this puts you at the top, that the idea of race was created entirely by white people to hold down all of these other groups.
00:56:02.360However, all of these white people want to escape this now, right?
00:56:05.960They don't want to be held in this framework because of all of these really terrible things that have been said about white people.
00:56:11.980And that makes them bad people too, right?
00:56:14.160So, so race isn't real and it's been created by white people, but also they're not allowed to escape it.
00:56:21.180They're not allowed to get rid of it because now I guess they're trapped in it forever because they have to continue this idea of racial guilt in perpetuity.
00:56:29.340Uh, back to the quote from the, uh, the eminent psychologist here.
00:56:32.640If you hold a high degree of, uh, privileged position in society and that is brought to your awareness, it can give you feelings of guilt or shame.
00:56:39.760A lot of people try, uh, to find refuge from that shame.
00:56:43.440So apparently white people assembled this, uh, this whole, you know, racial idea that never existed before.
00:56:50.540No, no one ever before white people created racism a few hundred years ago, uh, ever noticed race.
00:56:56.960You, you certainly can't read old books and have anyone refer to this at all.
00:57:02.980Um, but even though they created this and this gives them all these privileges, if someone points out that their privilege, they immediately want to discard all of those privileges and become some of the race just to avoid like all these terrible connotations that are attached to it.
00:57:18.080But they can't because they have to be held in this dynamic forever so that the left can kind of enact this revenge fantasy against these terrible oppressors.
00:57:29.540Although a person can in theory be motivated to try to change the race, uh, to any race or ethnicity, very interesting that they never really got into ethnicity here, but we don't have time to kind of, uh, point out the fact that they didn't parse that at all.
00:57:43.200The overwhelming majority of our CTA communities want to be East Asian and similarly, most race related subliminals aim to be listeners into, into Asians.
00:57:53.800So I guess, uh, that this kind of online community is, is singularly engaged in trying, uh, to, to be Asian more than any other race here.
00:58:03.400Uh, let's see, uh, scrolling down a little bit cause it's just more about how, uh, they, they, they're curious and that kind of thing.
00:58:10.960Uh, they're exercising their privilege when they said that they want to change races.
00:58:15.180When I was younger, I wanted to be white because I was sick of, uh, facing all the racism, but they're not changing the race because of racism.
00:58:22.260They're changing the race because they think it's cool.
00:58:39.480Like, what, why does that, what, why are all of these other, why do these people think that being other races that aren't privileged is cooler than being the race that's privileged?
00:58:47.020Like what, wouldn't they want to be cool?
00:58:49.060You just said you wanted to, you know, the, the, the, the person being interviewed here said they wanted to be white.
00:58:56.720So they could, you know, be more accepted, but that wasn't the same thing.
00:59:15.000Maybe they're tired of being attacked because of the color of their skin.
00:59:19.460Maybe these kids are tired of being told that they're evil because they were born a certain way, come from a certain background, share any kind of, you know, cultural or inherited characteristics.
00:59:30.280Like maybe, maybe they're tired of that.
00:59:32.940But of course that can't be true because remember there is no racism against white people that, that can, that can only be against other races, never against white people.
00:59:41.180That that's also part of the leftist construction.
00:59:51.480So I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up.
00:59:53.300Obviously this, uh, this article is kind of ridiculous, but I wanted to read it because of just how clear it is that it can't stay anything.
01:00:04.120It can't have anything approaching logical consistency, even inside a few paragraphs, right?
01:00:09.960It can't, it can't go one or two paragraphs without completely, completely changing its own definition of what race is, of what gender or sex or sex is.
01:00:20.040It can't explain to you coherently why these two things are, are, are either biological or, uh, or completely social constructs or a mixture of the two.
01:00:30.880And why them being a mixture of the two, one of them can be changed and one of them can't, it, it, it realizes the parallels.
01:00:38.780It realizes that people want to, uh, uh, uh, you know, compare these two because it's obvious why they would want to compare these two, but they would just make it clear that the experts have said that you can't do it.
01:00:51.160Now, none of the experts are biologists.
01:01:06.580And so they're going to silence all of your wrong things.
01:01:08.860They're going to come in here and keep you from noticing, uh, any patterns, making any kind of recognition of, uh, illogical inconsistencies.
01:01:16.260They want to make it very clear, uh, that, that don't do any of that.
01:01:31.260And again, uh, a very interesting feature of the article is even though they're, they're constantly talking about white privilege and how, you know, all these amazing things that it grants you and, and why race was invented by white people to obtain this white privilege.
01:01:44.300They also make it clear that, you know, white people might want to escape this racial guilt that has now been associated with this white privilege, but they can't.
01:01:57.980Um, and even, even though you can change your, your, uh, sex at any moment to the miracle of transition surgery and hormone therapy, or just putting on a wig, you definitely can't do that for race because that is central to the leftist coalition.
01:02:14.400That has to be untouchable in a way that sex is not because even though they make all of this noise about being pro woman and defending women's rights and all this stuff, they're more than happy to, to discard women at a moment's notice, because really at the end of the day, race is the core of the coalition.
01:02:30.400That's the thing that they need to, to make unassailable.
01:02:32.820And so even though it makes far less sense, uh, for, for, uh, them to kind of, uh, treat that as something that is, uh, something that can't be deconstructed, they, uh, make it sacrosanct because they don't want their coalition to be attacked.
01:02:46.940Uh, so I just kind of wanted to go through that and look at the absurdity of that, uh, the fact that they, the, how, how their logic works.
01:02:52.880And really the answer is it doesn't at all.
01:02:54.960Uh, but it kind of has to, for them to kind of defend their position.
01:04:12.940Yeah, we would kind of address that already, right?
01:04:15.420Uh, they, they talked about people who are passing.
01:04:17.740Again, not sure how the passing narrative for them works with the idea that you can't inherit.
01:04:24.200So these things are not genetically inherited, but they're kind of genetically inherited.
01:04:29.060Uh, you can inherit the traits that will allow you to pass genetically, but that doesn't mean that it's genetic.
01:04:36.080You could also, uh, inherit then, I guess the social privilege of being able to pass, but you're still tied to the tradition of the oppressed race.
01:04:47.480If you have, so the left has a weird reverse one drop rule, I guess, where like, if you have just any part of the oppressed minority, you do count as oppressed.
01:04:57.220Even if you have the privilege of passing, it's all very confusing.
01:05:00.720I don't think we're going to get a flow chart.
01:05:01.960Uh, the civil rights, uh, again, uh, Kruber Weirdo, thank you very much.
01:05:06.940The civil rights leader they gave isn't an answer.
01:05:12.380So we're going to go ahead and wrap this up.
01:05:14.460Uh, again, kind of a, kind of an insane, uh, article here.
01:05:19.020Uh, at the end, I think we all just kind of understand the truth that, you know, the reason this can't go away is that they kind of need this racial appraise, uh, uh, oppression narrative.
01:05:29.960Kind of sell, uh, you know, the, the, they said it right there.
01:05:33.640They said it in the piece that white guilt is kind of central and they don't want people to be able to discharge that white guilt.
01:05:39.020Uh, and so that has to stay, uh, kind of, uh, at the forefront, no matter what they have to make sure that there's no way to discharge that because that's kind of the currency of the regime.
01:05:49.240And so, uh, that's the reason that, um, white people can't possibly discharge that by kind of transitioning to another race.
01:05:55.900They just have to stay privileged forever and atone for the rest of their lives, uh, which is, uh, uh, kind of a horrific, uh, narrative without redemption, but that's exactly what they want to enforce on people.
01:06:08.460All right, guys. So I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up. Uh, if you are new to the channel, please go ahead and go ahead and subscribe to the channel.
