00:01:00.000 It's crazy that this degree of violence exists. And the question is, how do you stop it?

00:01:07.040 Yeah, that's the million-dollar question. That's why no politician is willing to even tackle the issue because it's harder than just a 30-minute fix.

00:01:14.960 You cannot fix and unravel what has been infused into the community for decades now.

00:01:20.860 You're not going to fix it in 10, 15 years. This is a complete overhaul of an entire identity in a group of people.

00:01:27.620 Here's the story from Mediaite. This man was hurting, said CNN's Van Jones, about the killer who stabbed a Ukrainian refugee to death.

00:01:39.560 Let's refresh.

00:01:40.660 Let me just say a couple of things. One is, what happened to that young woman was horrible.

00:01:45.720 And it's everybody's nightmare if you're in any public space, subway, whatever, that something bad is going to happen to you or somebody you care about.

00:01:53.140 So it does strike a chord. We don't know why that man did what he did.

00:01:57.400 He said, I got that white girl.

00:01:58.200 We get it. He says the killer was hurting, and we don't know why he did it. Despite the fact, on video, he says, I got that white girl. Apparently, he says it twice. That's what it sounds like. Now we have this. Listen to this.

00:02:23.940 You have a right to violence. All oppressed people have a right to violence. And I'm going to tell you something. It's like the right to pee. You got to have the right place. You got to have the right time. You got to have the appropriate situation. And I'm absolutely convinced that this is it. 1.00

00:02:39.660 This clip was posted by Black Lives Matter just the other day as this national conversation is emerging.

00:02:47.120 This is from a film, 1983, called Born in Flames. It's a feminist, communist propaganda piece, and they are justifying their right to use violence at a time when we're talking about a man who killed a young white girl who's not from this country, who's not a colonizer, who did nothing wrong.

00:03:04.000 So, I'm going to be bringing in Brandon Tatum. He knows a lot about this. He's the expert. Let's pull him in and see if we get this going. It looks like it should be working just fine. Let's boot it up.

00:03:22.840 Loading. Hey, Brandon, can you hear me?

00:03:26.520 Yes, I can hear you.

00:03:27.580 Hey, all right. Glad we got you in. And thanks for joining me, man. Appreciate it.

00:03:32.440 It's my pleasure, man.

00:03:33.300 Did you see this video that Black Lives Matter posted? It's this clip from a movie in the 80s where a black woman says, we have a right to violence. All oppressed people do. They posted it just the other day.

00:03:45.560 Yeah, I saw a little bit of clip of it. I didn't want to watch it all because it was so ridiculous, but I saw a tomorrow clip of it.

00:03:51.300 We also have that clip from Van Jones where he said, we don't know why this killer did it. And this killer was hurting. 0.96

00:03:58.780 So, I mean, you've got experience, obviously, with crime, law enforcement, all that stuff. I'm curious your thoughts on the game that they're playing. But seriously, this statement from BLM, we know what they're trying to say. It's kind of freaky.

00:04:12.640 Well, it's not shocking to me. As a black man, it's not shocking. And to most black people in America that got common sense of this being honest, it's not shocking that the lack of concern that black people have in situations like this. 0.99

00:04:27.920 If this was the roles were reversed, and many people would admit to this, it would be outrage. People would be in the streets. People would be screaming and spitting on each other, protests, burning buildings and all kind of stuff if the roles were reversed.

00:04:40.500 But in this particular scenario, even on the bus, even on the transit system, you had everybody around them were black. And he didn't stab nobody but her. Then allegedly, he mentioned, I got that white girl. And then none of the black people did anything to help her.

00:04:58.540 But initially, they just, oh, it ain't none of my business. White girl gets attacked. It ain't none of my business. And so it's not shocking to me. And when you talk about the Black Lives Matter scenario where they said the quiet part out loud, the reason that I know that this is the true feeling of how black people feel, generically speaking, is because I used to feel this way. 0.92

00:05:20.780 I had the mind virus of hating white people. Growing up, feeling like all white people hated me. And slavery played a big part of it. The police played a big part of it. And when you're infected with that mind virus, all you see is white people bad, white people bad. 0.69

00:05:37.400 So every interaction you have is subconsciously you're thinking in your mind that this is a negative interaction and the white people are doing something against me, even if they're not doing nothing against you. 0.98

00:05:47.300 The fact that white people are succeeding is an affront to black people when you grow up generically. Not every black person is like this. I mean, generally speaking, this is how black people feel.

00:05:56.520 So I'm not shocked that we don't see backlash. I'm not shocked that people get on TV and try to make excuses for this guy.

00:06:03.740 They they they've been telling us for decades and especially in the 2010s with wokeness, DEI, that there is this plague of white supremacy in the country.

00:06:12.820 It's in it's entrenching the ideas that that you just explained. And so, you know, Viva Fry the other day was saying you've got this guy who's clearly schizophrenic or mentally ill, whatever it is that's going on. 0.88

00:06:23.520 And then for a decade, he's told by the corporate press, by the media that he's being hunted on a daily basis by white people. 0.73

00:06:30.940 And this is what you get. So it's like everything you just said, but then you add on this this tenfold attack by the media.

00:06:39.820 And it seems like you are going to get more attacks like this. And, you know, now there's a conversation popping up around interracial violence where, you know, Will Cain talked about it.

00:06:51.860 Matt Walsh is talking about it. I'm curious your thoughts on this as part of the conversation that black on what black on white violence is 26 times higher than white on black violence.

00:07:01.780 Do you think that's because of these narratives and that feeling you describe a thousand percent when you were raised to view white people from the lens of people who created slavery, which is how most people are receiving this information about slavery and they're evil and they're conquerors all over the country, all over the world.

00:07:23.440 They conquered Native Americans. These are evil, evil white people. And what did they do to our ancestors? 0.99

00:07:30.820 They hung them from trees. They mutilated them. Jim Crow. When this is punched into your brain and then every time you get pulled over by a white cop and you're black, they just gun you down like an animal.

00:07:42.520 You feel oppressed. You feel angry. You feel vengeful. And it's all a lie. But what happens is that vengeance and that that hatred and somewhat fear causes you to be extra aggressive towards white people. 0.99

00:07:57.940 I remember when I was younger and I felt like black people were better than white people and I felt like white people were inferior and I looked at white men as cowards and I would love an opportunity to put my hands on a white guy if I had the opportunity to because my mind was caught up on what this is what y'all done did to my people all these years.

00:08:19.380 When a white, when a bad thing would happen to a white person, I used to feel like, why do we care? They didn't care about us. You get what I'm saying, Tim? 0.89

00:08:28.760 And like, this is what happens and this is why we see the numbers the way we do, in part. The other part of it is culture of violence amongst black people. 0.98

00:08:38.720 Because one of the reasons why I felt like I was stronger, better, and, you know, most black people think we'll just dust these white boys off and they're nowhere near as strong and violent as we are. 0.97

00:08:51.300 And that's because the part is true. A lot of us grew up in traumatic households, grew up without a father, with anger issues, not understanding how to...

00:09:00.480 Hey, this is Dan Harris, host of the 10% Happier podcast. I'm here to tell you about a new series we're running this September on 10% Happier. The goal is to help you do your life better. The series is called Reset. It's all about hitting the reset button in many of the most crucial areas of your life.

00:09:28.840 It's all delivered with our trademark blend of skepticism, humor, credibility, and practicality. 10% Happier is self-help for smart people. Come join the party.

00:09:38.300 Handle our emotions. In some cases, getting abused. Because when I was growing up, you get beat with switches and extension cords and all kind of other stuff that stems from these poor black neighborhoods. 1.00

00:09:49.680 So you grow up with aggressiveness and violence. And therefore, you know, when the rubber hit the road, you see what happened where they knocked the woman out. It's stomping the white people out in the middle of the street. 0.69

00:10:00.080 And Tim, this is just black violence against white. Black on black is even worse. If you go to my Instagram story right now, I show two videos of young black men just gunning each other down in the middle of the street, broad daylight. 1.00

00:10:15.920 I mean, no mask. They're not even really running away from the crime. Walking up on a brother and just unloading on him. It was one situation in Chicago. Kid riding his bike. And they call it his ops. They jump out of cars by four or five of them. They all gunning him down with fully automatic weapons. I mean, they standing over him, shooting him, I don't know, a hundred times.

00:10:37.820 They call it ops, you said? Yeah, yeah. It's short for opposition. Like, you know, the people who are ops are people who are against you. And it's just kind of short for opposition.

00:10:49.160 Nick Shirley went to Chicago recently. He went to like gangland and he went and he embedded with this rapper and they were saying exactly that. I didn't quite understand what it meant. I'm from Chicago. I've not heard that term. And he was saying, we got to be careful. We got ops.

00:11:05.180 And then I was like, ops. What is what is that? You know, here's the crazy thing. Like in Chicago is exactly what you were talking about. This is exactly what Nick Shirley was filming.

00:11:14.120 They're walking around with guns. They got switches. They got full auto. They talk about the gas station is where you go to basically die because they just go there. They just shoot and kill each other.

00:11:23.460 And it's not even about being in a gang. It's just you might you'll have a beef. And so you'll get caught up in it. Someone will shoot at somebody else.

00:11:29.520 It's crazy that this degree of violence exists. And the question is, how do you stop it?

00:11:36.540 Yeah, that's a bit. That's the million dollar question. That's why no politician is willing to even tackle the issue, because it's harder than just a 30 minute fix.

00:11:44.600 You cannot fix and unravel what has been infused into the community for decades now.

00:11:50.220 You're not going to fix it in 10, 15 years.

00:11:52.200 This is a complete overhaul of an entire identity in a group of people.

00:11:57.480 I mean, the political leaders won't even say anything about it.

00:12:01.460 How many black leaders do you see on both sides of the spectrum that are saying this was wrong with that man? 0.99

00:12:06.340 Stab that white girl like that. And they're out here protesting. 1.00

00:12:08.800 You won't see a single black leader doing it, except if they're conservative. 0.99

00:12:12.900 Black Lives Matter posted a video saying we have a right to violence. 0.98

00:12:16.560 That's man. 0.95

00:12:18.660 That's the same organization that do nothing for black people. 1.00

00:12:21.540 Mind you this, they create hatred and cause black people to hate white people and become violent. 1.00

00:12:27.160 They justify black violence, so therefore more young brothers are incarcerated. 0.97

00:12:30.840 They glorify drug dealing and George Floyd behavior, so more black people are participating in behavior and doing time in prison. 0.98

00:12:37.100 And then when they get money extracted from the wealthy white class of America and corporations, what do they do with the money?

00:12:43.520 They enrich themselves and go buy houses. They didn't give no money to George Floyd.

00:12:47.280 They gave no money to Michael Brown family. They gave no money to Breonna Taylor family.

00:12:50.520 They've given no money and made no difference in the black community.

00:12:53.620 They just extract it. And that's all they do. 0.65

00:12:56.480 So you were talking about how when you were growing up, you had this resentment towards white people that was like you were raised with.

00:13:03.400 In your community, was there like a positive reinforcement?

00:13:07.240 So like with this guy stabbing this young woman, you see that initially everyone just looks and they're like, I'm not getting involved, right?

00:13:15.080 I've heard stories like that. I'm wondering if there's actually even worse than that.

00:13:17.640 Is there like a positive reinforcement where someone else who's black and feels that way says good? 0.71

00:13:24.860 You're saying a positive reinforcement mean reinforcing the poor behavior in a black community? 1.00

00:13:29.520 Let's say that there's like a black neighborhood and some dude just hates a white person. 0.99

00:13:33.880 He beats him up. 0.77

00:13:34.460 Are there other black people who are like, it was good that you did that? 0.87

00:13:38.160 Like they're happy about the violence?

00:13:39.740 Yeah, 1,000%.

00:13:40.200 I mean, I think the overarching approval that you get is why you continue to see this stuff happening.

00:13:48.100 I'm telling you.

00:13:48.980 Like there are black people. 1.00

00:13:50.020 Don't get it twisted that all black people are cheering for this. 0.98

00:13:54.300 Like sane black people like myself and others know that it's an atrocity. 0.95

00:13:59.400 However, do you think, and you can go look on posts from black Instagram, Shade Room.

00:14:08.860 Just look at some posts and see what they say.

00:14:10.880 Look at what happened with the young man in Texas that stabbed Carmelo Anthony, that stabbed the white kid.

00:14:17.780 He had a GoFundMe.

00:14:18.760 I almost raised a million dollars.

00:14:19.840 I think they raised close to a million dollars.

00:14:21.140 And then not only did they raise the money, Tim, what were the comments that were said under the raising of the money?

00:14:28.660 And if you go anywhere now, because it was so egregious what this guy did to this white girl, but go to the black blogs, go to some of these things. 0.54

00:14:37.080 I guarantee you, I will put my life on it and all of my wealth that you will find people on these posts saying, so what?

00:14:46.040 Look at what they did all these years.

00:14:47.760 There's one viral post that people are sharing from X where someone said, it said, we even for George Floyd now.

00:14:54.360 And it showed a picture of the girl being murdered as if, and it's just, it's insane.

00:14:59.400 They, you know, Van Jones comes out and says, how dare Charlie Kirk race monger?

00:15:03.880 It's like, bro, there's nothing racial about the George Floyd killing.

00:15:07.640 It was cops of various ethnic backgrounds and a black man who died.

00:15:10.760 And there was no evidence that it was racially motivated, but they decided it was in this instance, dude is on video.

00:15:16.980 And it sounds like he says, I'm being careful, but it does sound like he says, I got that white girl.

00:15:20.320 And Van Jones says, how dare you? 0.99

00:15:22.980 It's nuts. 0.97

00:15:24.080 And this is what, this is what ruins the reputation of most black people, because I, there's a lot of black people out there that say, this is an atrocity. 1.00

00:15:32.180 It's crazy that dude's a lunatic. 1.00

00:15:33.480 He should go to hell for what he did. 1.00

00:15:35.180 But the problem is that there's enough black people that are saying the opposite in such an egregious way. 0.99

00:15:40.560 And there's enough black people who are political leaders and people who are on television. 0.98

00:15:44.400 I mean, on the episode where he said that the only two, the three dummies on the show, two of them were black. 0.97

00:15:50.180 And so it seems disproportionate that black people have this sentiment and they're hypocrites because we know, like you said, George Floyd had nothing to do with race. 0.98

00:16:00.280 Um, Eric Garner had nothing to do with race. 0.98

00:16:03.960 None of these police shootings had anything to do with race. 0.99

00:16:06.720 The problem is that there ain't no black cops to kill you. 0.98

00:16:10.060 So if you're going to die, it's only the white men patrolling your community because y'all don't even plot to be a police officers in many of these cities. 0.99

00:16:17.880 So it's not a race thing. 0.96

00:16:20.340 It's a, it's a, you put a gun on a cop thing and you got shot.

00:16:23.660 And so when you look at it, you know, with that, with that context, why would a Van Jones say this would, because, you know,

00:16:30.180 without being disingenuous, he want to save face for the black community, bro.

00:16:34.800 There is, there is nothing but black people standing around this man. 0.98

00:16:37.960 He on the train every day. 0.98

00:16:39.780 He on the train around all these black people. 1.00

00:16:41.880 And then when the white girl gets on, he stabs her. 0.97

00:16:44.980 He didn't stab the person next to him, people behind him. 0.97

00:16:47.260 He stabbed the white girl, walked away. 0.94

00:16:49.460 If he was really a violent individual that wanted to seek death to people, he'd have stabbed her. 0.99

00:16:54.780 He'd have stabbed the lady next to him. 0.98

00:16:56.620 He'd have stabbed a couple of people and ran off the train. 0.98

00:16:58.800 Yep. 0.74

00:16:59.520 It was, it was race. 0.84

00:17:01.080 It's funny because in Chicago, you know what they do? 0.92

00:17:04.020 When the crime gets really bad in these black areas, they just bulldoze all the buildings and flatten them and turn them into, turn it to dirt. 1.00

00:17:11.000 And that's the Democrat plan. 0.69

00:17:13.080 Hundred years of Democrat political supermajority in Chicago and these areas that are high crime and they have this, this culture of violence.

00:17:20.800 They just say, eventually, you know what, just kick everybody out by force.

00:17:25.600 They did this in the Leclerc courts.

00:17:27.000 They promised we're going to, we're going to tear this house down and rebuild nicer and better homes for all of you.

00:17:31.500 Never did.

00:17:32.140 It's been 16 years.

00:17:33.300 It was a trick because they don't want to deal with the problem.

00:17:35.720 They don't want to figure out because you know what it is. 0.55

00:18:05.720 They can't come out publicly and say, hey, these black neighborhoods have a high violence problem and we want to figure out how to solve it.

00:18:11.860 So we're going to need law enforcement because it's offensive. 0.97

00:18:15.000 It offends the sensibilities of the modern left, including these uppity white liberals. 0.89

00:18:19.000 So instead, they announced they're doing beautification and repairs.

00:18:23.260 That way everybody can clap and pat each other on the back, bulldoze all the houses, walk away and never fix it.

00:18:29.480 And all that does is it makes the problem get worse every day.

00:18:33.360 Tim Pool, let's put this in perspective real quick. 0.95

00:18:35.900 When you look at the homicides, most of the homicides that are committed, a majority of the homicides, which mean the brown, I've seen numbers of 48 to 51 percent are committed by black people. 0.78

00:18:48.320 Now, the majority of those people who were killed by black people, the 50 percent, 98 percent are black. 0.92

00:18:54.960 Yeah. So majority of half of the murders are black people murdering other black people. 1.00

00:19:01.360 If we put police officers, just say we doubled the number on the south side, you only have to be all over Chicago. 0.99

00:19:07.240 You live in Chicago. All of Chicago isn't bad.

00:19:10.200 It's just these areas, mostly black areas that are war zones.

00:19:15.180 If you had a cop on every corner, people won't be committing crimes like this.

00:19:19.180 It's opportunistic. They know there's no cops there.

00:19:22.160 They know they can kill a brother and nobody's going to snitch. 0.85

00:19:24.660 And the arrest rates and conviction rates of homicides against black people are like 80 percent of them go unsolved.

00:19:32.620 You know what's really weird is that you're exactly right.

00:19:36.480 The majority of the crime, it's not, it's intraracial. 0.98

00:19:39.620 These young black men, it's and you know, we say like majority of the murders are black people. 1.00

00:19:44.160 It's actually black, young black men and they're killing other young black men. 1.00

00:19:48.080 And for some reason, Chicago being a great example, after 100 years, Democrats couldn't solve the problem. 0.97

00:19:53.400 But I'll tell you what they're really good at doing, putting planned parenthoods in black neighborhoods. 1.00

00:19:58.040 And I'm thinking about I'm like, man, they should do a lot of policies that kill black people and reduce the black population. 1.00

00:20:06.440 Come on, somebody got to say it, Tim. 0.99

00:20:08.780 Well, you know, and I don't want to hear no black people give you any problems for saying what you said, because they should be saying it.

00:20:15.340 If they don't want to hear you say it, they should be saying it.

00:20:18.120 Why are we advocating for in black people? 1.00

00:20:21.840 Disproportionately are represented in abortions in America. 0.71

00:20:25.200 Disproportionately.

00:20:26.400 Disproportionately are represented in violence, murder, being murdered, incarceration, poverty, low education. 0.94

00:20:35.100 And instead of us saying, hey, man, we need to get back to the joint board and start worrying about white people and start worrying about black people in the inner city, black, black youth, marriage.

00:20:45.780 All of a sudden we need to start getting back to getting into God and the church. 0.68

00:20:49.100 We started blaming the point of the finger at the white man.

00:20:52.340 We mad at the white man for telling the truth instead of addressing the truth. 0.81

00:20:55.440 We've had a Trump for want to call in the National Guard to end the violence in black cities. 0.85

00:21:01.000 Instead of them doing it, they mad at Trump for doing it.

00:21:03.700 This is what the left does.

00:21:05.000 They claim that the right are the racists when they're actually enacting policies that are making everything worse from like the welfare policies to, as I mentioned, keeping like the cops don't go in these areas.

00:21:14.860 And these are democratically appointed police departments in these cities. 0.96

00:21:18.100 And then the left narrative is that the white people are bad. 0.83

00:21:21.580 But the funny thing I love about this is you go to every single white waspy conservative and they're going to tell you the Supreme Court should be eight. 0.98

00:21:29.960 It should be Clarence Thomas and eight of his clones.

00:21:32.780 It's not an issue of race.

00:21:34.000 It's an issue of policy to make the community and people's lives better.

00:21:38.180 Well, I want to tell you this story.

00:21:40.040 I was in Portland and the Proud Boys were marching with patriot prayer.

00:21:44.480 Right wing.

00:21:45.300 Oh, white supremacists, they call them. 0.87

00:21:46.960 Except the funny thing was Antifa and the far leftists were all white and there was a proud boy. 0.96

00:21:53.040 He was a black man and they were screaming the N word at him from across the street and he got pissed and he broke from the group and went to go across the street.

00:22:02.660 He was going to throw fists. 0.98

00:22:03.840 These were white leftists, Antifa, screaming racial slurs at a black proud boy. 0.96

00:22:08.820 And then a white proud boy grabbed him and he held his hand and he was like, don't listen to them, brother. 0.96

00:22:15.140 You're with me.

00:22:16.200 We're brothers.

00:22:16.740 We're in this together.

00:22:17.340 They're trying to rile you up.

00:22:18.660 And I'm like, why am I standing next to the quote unquote white supremacists? 0.59

00:22:22.480 It's a white guy holding hands with a black guy saying, you're my brother. 0.96

00:22:25.280 Don't listen to the racial slurs. 0.95

00:22:26.560 And it's the leftists who are screaming racist stuff.

00:22:29.160 It's mind blowing. 0.98

00:22:30.100 It's a mind virus, a mind worm that these people got in their mind. 0.99

00:22:35.380 And it is hypocrisy and also projection. 1.00

00:22:38.940 They really hate black people and they really have hatred in their heart. 0.99

00:22:42.320 That's why they project it on other people. 0.99

00:22:44.080 I've been around.

00:22:44.920 That's why I never say negative things about the proud boys based up because based on my own experience, we went to an event. 0.67

00:22:52.980 It was a black event.

00:22:54.100 It was Dinesh D'Souza. 0.64

00:22:55.000 He had like four black conservatives on a panel at his event and Antifa was there to protest or whatever.

00:23:01.160 And you know who was there to protect us and who was there to make sure we were good?

00:23:04.320 The proud boys. 0.96

00:23:05.140 And the funny thing is that most of them were black and Hispanic.

00:23:08.620 Yeah. 0.74

00:23:09.040 Like they framed it as if the proud boys are a bunch of white dudes.

00:23:12.340 It's like when the proud boys in L.A., it was one white guy. 0.64

00:23:16.280 The rest of them were black and Hispanic. 0.86

00:23:18.060 And they're framing it as if they're bad. 0.65

00:23:20.180 I've never seen the proud boys in my personal experience.

00:23:23.220 I've never seen them do anything else but be patriots and try to stand up for what's right against these nut jobs. 1.00

00:23:28.740 And I'll tell you this.

00:23:29.400 I went on campus.

00:23:30.760 You know, these Black Lives Matter folks.

00:23:32.280 I go on campus at UC Davis.

00:23:33.740 We get attacked.

00:23:34.820 Yep. 0.61

00:23:35.220 Not one video of a single black person defending me. 0.56

00:23:39.020 And I didn't need to defend physically, but no one's defending me online and saying, no, that's wrong.

00:23:44.820 Then white people come in my social media right now and they call me the N word on X because they don't like what I say about Israel or whatever the case may be.

00:23:52.040 But black people are cool with that.

00:23:54.480 It's cool if a white man call you the N if you ain't saying what they want you to say. 0.69

00:23:59.000 Well, that's what's crazy, too, is in the black community, there's racial slurs for people who aren't acting properly politically.

00:24:06.200 You know, like Clarence Thomas or it was Larry Elder.

00:24:10.900 He made those documentaries.

00:24:12.140 Uncle Tom, he made those, right?

00:24:13.520 I think that was his, right?

00:24:14.720 Yeah, he's an executive producer, I think.

00:24:16.100 Like, I don't know.

00:24:17.200 Tell me about that experience.

00:24:18.840 My understanding, like when I grew up in Chicago, we had 47th Street.

00:24:22.560 Just north of it was all black. 0.69

00:24:23.800 Just south of it was mixed but largely like white working class.

00:24:27.040 And our black friends were told that they would get made fun of for acting white when they would hang out with us and do things like we play Pokemon cards or go skateboarding.

00:24:37.420 They were told they were acting white and they had to go and stay in their communities and their neighborhoods.

00:24:42.140 You have experiences like that?

00:24:44.260 Is that how it goes?

00:24:46.580 Brother, this is generational.

00:24:49.580 My dad told me stories about how it happened to him.

00:24:53.940 And I'll give you an example.

00:24:55.340 Back in the hood, because my dad grew up in the projects, they used to play what they call sideline kill.

00:25:00.000 And that means you play football in the middle of the street, tackle football, in the concrete in the middle of the street.

00:25:05.660 So you hit between the curb lines and, you know, dudes get scraped up.

00:25:10.060 And in the hood, that's how you play football.

00:25:12.640 And my dad came back.

00:25:14.300 Everybody loved him.

00:25:15.060 He was a good football player out there.

00:25:16.200 He was one of the toughest.

00:25:17.400 He came back with his report cards.

00:25:18.740 He made all A's and one B.

00:25:20.440 And he remember, you know, he was telling me how he was coming home.

00:25:22.940 He was like, dang, man, I really, you know, I made one B.

00:25:27.140 And his friends were looking at him like, what you mean you ain't one B?

00:25:30.200 You think you white?

00:25:32.000 And he said from that point on, because he made one B, they didn't even want to get him on the team no more because he was being white. 0.56

00:25:38.260 It happened to me growing up.

00:25:40.180 I was the one bullying.

00:25:42.140 So I know this is real.

00:25:44.460 If a black dude was listening to rock and roll music, bullied. 0.97

00:25:51.500 If a black dude was a skater, bullied. 0.98

00:25:54.960 If a black dude tucked his shirt in and wore a belt around his waist like a normal person to school, bullied. 0.96

00:26:02.320 I remember a guy in school.

00:26:03.640 His name was Chris Parham.

00:26:05.040 His daddy was a pastor.

00:26:06.340 Hey, this is Dan Harris, host of the 10% Happier podcast.

00:26:09.800 I'm here to tell you about a new series we're running this September on 10% Happier.

00:26:13.420 The goal is to help you do your life better.

00:26:15.260 The series is called Reset.

00:26:16.780 It's all about hitting the reset button in many of the most crucial areas of your life.

00:26:21.020 Each week, we'll tackle a topic like how to reset your nervous system, how to reset your relationships, how to reset your career.

00:26:28.260 We're going to bring on top-notch scientists and world-class meditation teachers to give you deep insights and actionable advice.

00:26:35.080 It's all delivered with our trademark blend of skepticism, humor, credibility, and practicality.

00:26:40.740 10% Happier is self-help for smart people.

00:26:43.300 Come join the party.

00:26:44.560 We had good black men.

00:26:46.740 His daddy was a pastor.

00:26:48.120 He would come to school.

00:26:49.060 He would wear his belt.

00:26:50.660 We would make fun of his dad.

00:26:52.240 And his dad was so strict, he would have to address his dad as sir.

00:26:56.180 So he'd say, yes, sir.

00:26:57.040 Yes, sir.

00:26:57.520 We made fun of Chris.

00:26:59.280 Chris was a virgin.

00:27:00.600 I don't put his business out there. 0.84

00:27:01.920 He was a virgin all through high school. 0.79

00:27:03.160 We made fun of him for being a virgin. 0.59

00:27:05.660 We made fun of him for the way he talked to his daddy. 0.76

00:27:08.060 We made fun of his daddy because he was smart.

00:27:10.900 He wanted to be like the white man.

00:27:12.720 Tim, black people won't say this publicly for whatever reason.

00:27:18.480 People like me will, but the ones on the left, they try to act like this don't happen.

00:27:23.860 Every black man in America that grew up in an all-black community, I'm not saying black people that grew up in mixed communities and white communities.

00:27:30.600 You grew up in an all-black community.

00:27:33.100 I'll give you another example. 0.91

00:27:34.620 At my school, Dunbar High School, all black, we had one guy who dated a white girl and he committed suicide.

00:27:42.060 Now, I cannot confirm that he did it because he was bullied, but he was bullied and he was the only black person in the school that would dare to date a white woman.

00:27:52.540 And when I was growing up, I never dated a white woman, looked at a white woman until I went to college.

00:27:59.660 But I was like, you can't bring a white girl home. 1.00

00:28:02.740 What are y'all talking about? 0.91

00:28:03.420 You're dating a white girl. 1.00

00:28:05.600 You're a sellout. 1.00

00:28:06.480 You're a coon. 1.00

00:28:07.120 You're an Uncle Tom. 0.99

00:28:07.920 All the same things that you see them say about me today when I was engulfed in the community was the way I thought and the way I treated other black people.

00:28:16.680 Dude, we had a comment the other day because I made this point when, you know, we've got people now posting on social media responses attack.

00:28:24.180 They're saying it's better to be racist than dead. 0.69

00:28:25.880 Like, she should have not wanted to sit next to the black guy or whatever. 0.99

00:28:29.340 And I'm like, listen, man, if you walk on a train and to your left, there's a black man and to your right, there's a white guy. 0.69

00:28:35.500 But the black guy's wearing a suit and, like, reading the Wall Street Journal and the white guy's scratching and shaking. 0.99

00:28:40.720 If you decide to sit next to the crazy-looking white guy, you're racist. 0.99

00:28:43.900 That's bad for you, right? 0.99

00:28:45.700 But someone commented, sure, Tim, like, because I'm mentioning it's a cultural thing, right? 0.84

00:28:52.020 If I see a guy, an officer in a military unit, if I'm in the middle of a riot and there's people smashing things up and I see military guys, National Guard, and they're all black, I'm going to be like, thank God. 1.00

00:29:02.780 It's not race.

00:29:03.940 It can identify something.

00:29:05.820 That I feel safe around.

00:29:06.680 Someone actually commented to me.

00:29:09.140 It was one of the super chats or one of the rumble rants. 0.82

00:29:11.260 They were like, would you really be okay with your daughter bringing home a black man? 0.99

00:29:14.980 And I'm sitting here thinking, like, yo, it's the same argument, okay?

00:29:17.760 My daughter's a newborn.

00:29:19.620 She's only six months.

00:29:21.000 But I'm looking.

00:29:22.020 I'm thinking 20 years in the future, if she comes home with a black man who's an officer in the military or a successful businessman, yeah, I don't care. 0.99

00:29:31.240 Are you joking? 1.00

00:29:31.740 If she comes home with some white trash drug addict, I'll be pissed off. 1.00

00:29:34.760 I don't, it's crazy that people in any capacity want to make this be surface level overtly about race. 0.99

00:29:41.780 But I will add, as I say this, the problem I think we have in this country is the media, big tech, only allowed us to talk about white supremacy and not about black supremacy or black racism, which any race can be racist.

00:29:56.680 And when you cover it up, you perpetuate the problem.

00:29:59.480 Honestly, I think they do it on purpose to make the problem persist.

00:30:02.760 They are keeping racism on life support.

00:30:05.200 A thousand percent, man.

00:30:06.620 Any rational person knows we're over that racist stuff.

00:30:09.180 You know, before you and I were alive, well before we were alive, black people and white people couldn't drink out of the same water fountain. 0.79

00:30:16.280 You would never see it.

00:30:17.920 I wouldn't even believe that was true unless I saw a video of it.

00:30:20.740 You can go right now to an all black neighborhood, but the majority of the time, you ain't nobody going to mess with you. 1.00

00:30:26.440 It's really these thugs and these gangsters. 0.98

00:30:28.720 And you got to think, think about this. 1.00

00:30:30.560 These dumb, ignorant people who want an excuse to be racist. 1.00

00:30:34.360 They will go out on a limb and go, well, I'm around a black person. 1.00

00:30:37.740 It's like, well, if you're around me, you're going to act like that. 1.00

00:30:39.840 Quit being stupid. 1.00

00:30:40.960 I feel safer on you, bro. 1.00

00:30:41.840 And white people and white people's reaction to black people are no different than black people's reaction to black people. 0.96

00:30:47.720 If I get on a train and I see a brother with a hood on and he looking like he ready to kill somebody, I'm not going to be next to him either. 0.97

00:30:55.580 And I'm black. 0.98

00:30:56.920 And the same thing with a white dude. 0.53

00:30:58.780 You get a white dude that look like a skinhead or somebody that look like he's disheveled or he weird.

00:31:03.660 You know what I mean?

00:31:04.060 I'm like, let me tell him, it's the same thing with being a cop.

00:31:08.780 Most police officers, I would say 90%, because there are some nuts that are in the police department that should probably go to prison.

00:31:16.700 And we just haven't caught them yet.

00:31:18.660 But it's the same thing with police.

00:31:21.540 We're not going to pull a man over on a traffic stop.

00:31:24.120 If he black and he a decent person and he, I say, show me your license and registration. 1.00

00:31:30.980 Here you go. 0.80

00:31:31.980 Nothing is afoot.

00:31:33.040 Nobody cares. 0.71

00:31:34.940 And it's not that I get up there and I'm, he black. 0.98

00:31:37.340 So he must be a threat. 0.99

00:31:38.880 Because if statistical data shows that more white people shoot cops than black people do, and actually more cops shoot white people than they shoot black people. 0.99

00:31:47.840 And so we don't go around and be like, because he black, he a threat. 1.00

00:31:52.120 It's like, no, bro, are you a threat or are you not? 0.99

00:31:54.760 If you're a white guy and I pull you over and you're not listening to my commands, you are a threat to me. 0.97

00:31:59.940 And it's the same thing with anything else. 1.00

00:32:01.940 Like you said about dating, as long as your daughter happy and she with a man that's a good man, the color of the skin is so stupid and irrelevant. 1.00

00:32:11.800 It's crazy. 1.00

00:32:12.600 But anybody, Tim, that says now it's better to be racist than to be dead is stupid. 1.00

00:32:21.140 It's better to be aware and have awareness than to be on your phone. 0.99

00:32:27.240 And I'm not blaming the girl, but now I think people should pay a little more attention to their surroundings.

00:32:31.560 It's better to not be on your phone, taking it for granted that people aren't going to harm you versus you putting your phone down and making sure everything is good.

00:32:39.280 And if you see something that's weird, go sit somewhere else.

00:32:42.300 It's better to be vigilant than to be dead, not racist.

00:32:45.460 That's sad, man.

00:32:46.980 You know, the funny thing is you mentioned, like, before we were born, people couldn't drink out of the same water fountains.

00:32:52.280 My mom, because I'm second generation, mixed race Asian, she was a kid when it was still illegal. 0.91

00:33:00.540 This is before the Supreme Court ruling.

00:33:02.240 You know, it was only 1967 that you could actually—not only could you not date or marry, like, a person of a different race, if you were caught cohabitating, it was illegal.

00:33:16.020 It's kind of wild to think—what's fascinating, it's the first time in the history of the planet in the United States that we have created a society that has equality under the law for people based on race, ethnicity, or otherwise.

00:33:28.720 It is actually the norm for all of human history that people were racist and had laws based on race.

00:33:35.260 That's what's really frustrating about how Democrats are approaching these DEI policies and basing everything on race, because it's sending us back to a time we already did away with. 0.96

00:33:44.600 And people are stuck on stupid, to be quite honest, because when you look at the iteration of black and white relationships in America, 0.82

00:33:53.580 we actually did an incredible job at getting out of the rut quicker than most would, because you cannot expect—and this is—you've got to go back to antiquity, you have to go back to putting yourself in the shoes of people back in the day. 0.99

00:34:08.220 You cannot expect for a group of people—and you're talking the literacy and the life expectancy and stuff, it's far different than where we are today—that go to the continent of Africa, get primitive people, because they're not developed. 0.98

00:34:25.080 And they don't have a lot of things that the Europeans had at the time, so they're viewing them as primitive people, that they were sold to them as slaves.

00:34:32.220 So these people live as slaves, and people expect one day at the snap, and both groups just come together like this and kumbaya.

00:34:40.120 It's like that took time to go from generations of viewing these people as slaves, these people viewing themselves as slaves, to now saying, okay, you're not a slave, but you're free.

00:34:51.680 But how does that happen? Because people have been slaves, there's fear, there's prejudice, there's propaganda, and then it has to go from there to the next stage, to the next iteration.

00:35:01.140 And then now you're free, but it's not kosher, for lack of better terms, to marry because the race mixing was such and such. 0.97

00:35:09.260 And then we had to get past that point. 1.00

00:35:11.440 Every society that have ever existed, there will always be an iteration on a time period of dispensation where you have to come out of the stupidity. 0.99

00:35:21.640 We see it in medicine. We see it in race relations. 0.99

00:35:24.200 We see it even amongst people who are of the same race.

00:35:27.840 Go to Africa. 0.98

00:35:29.080 The acceptance of black people amongst other black people are just as unacceptable when you look at black and white race relations in America. 0.96

00:35:36.860 I mean, even today, tribes don't talk to each other, and people will kill each other from a different tribe.

00:35:41.160 Even today, we're past that in America, but we don't get enough credit for it.

00:35:45.540 I think we're going to win, man.

00:35:46.520 Even with all these problems, I mean, these conversations I think that we're having are good.

00:35:50.960 I think that the United States does right so often.

00:35:55.440 We've improved, and it's been really, really great.

00:35:57.200 So I'm going to be optimistic on all this, but I appreciate you joining me, man.

00:36:00.620 Where can people find you?

00:36:02.240 Yeah, just find me on.

00:36:03.400 And thank you for having me on, Tim.

00:36:04.620 Oh, bro, anytime.

00:36:05.760 You find me on The Officer Tatum.

00:36:07.580 You just put The Officer Tatum in any search, in any social media platform, I'll be there.

00:36:12.060 Right on, man.

00:36:12.560 Thanks for hanging out.

00:36:13.260 We'll see you next time.

00:36:14.480 All right.

00:36:15.040 God bless you, man.

00:36:15.640 See you later.

00:36:15.880 Take care.

00:36:16.880 That is the great Officer Tatum.

00:36:19.120 Big fan.

00:36:19.720 He's fantastic, and I'm glad to get his take on all of this, especially.

00:36:24.620 Because he's lived it.

00:36:25.940 He's experienced it.

00:36:27.880 You've heard it from him.

00:36:28.940 Straight from him.

00:36:30.380 What it's like growing up in the black community.

00:36:32.320 I can only speak somewhat outside of this.

00:36:34.040 I know you guys have been hearing me talking about, oh, I'm from Chicago, and things like that.

00:36:38.080 And it's because Trump's going to send the National Guard.

00:36:40.000 It's because he's sending in ICE, and because they're telling us that we're wrong.

00:36:42.740 I didn't grow up in the community Brandon grew up in.

00:36:44.780 But I grew up in a community affected next to a gang and black community. 1.00

00:36:49.500 I'm not saying it's the same thing, but there's an overlap.

00:36:52.180 And so we have questions about, hey, man, look, I'll put it this way.

00:36:55.240 I don't care if you're left, right, black, white. 1.00

00:36:56.920 I want you to live better.

00:36:57.980 I want your life better.

00:36:58.760 And it's sad when he says there are people that hold that chip on their shoulder and say, don't act white, don't succeed.

00:37:05.300 I don't know if you guys ever saw that music video, read a book, read a book, read a mother effing book, wear deodorant, wear deodorant, you know, all that stuff, buy some land, F spinning rims.

00:37:14.080 The message is take power.

00:37:17.220 You know what, man, if someone out there is racist towards you, whatever, let them think what they want to think.

00:37:21.620 They're going to think whatever they want.

00:37:22.700 People are going to hate you, and there's nothing you can do about it.

00:37:24.760 But you can be smart and figure out how to navigate that system and take that power for yourself.

00:37:29.000 So to all these people that got, you know, they're complaining, saying don't be white, don't get good grades.

00:37:33.740 I'm like, conquer.

00:37:35.040 Conquer, man.

00:37:35.620 Conquer, man, what is the means by which you can take this land over? 0.95

00:37:40.160 And so what does that mean?

00:37:41.060 Get rich.

00:37:42.740 Do it in a way that's not going to put you at risk.

00:37:45.840 It's not going to hurt other people.

00:37:47.500 Succeed.

00:37:48.460 Eat good food.

00:37:49.980 Then you can have the land and the spinning rims, and you deserve it.

00:37:53.560 That's hard work.
