Today on the Matt Wall Show, leftism is a religion of self-loathing.
00:00:03.980
That's what it is. And this has been made, I think, very clear this week, especially as
00:00:08.240
white people across the country have gone out of their way to announce and advertise their white
00:00:12.400
guilt. But the self-loathing issue goes way beyond race. We'll talk about that today. Also,
00:00:17.260
five headlines, including Attorney General Barr revealing Antifa's role in the riots. And in our
00:00:23.140
daily cancellation, we will cancel a maniac who went on CNN to announce that white children,
00:00:29.360
quote, don't deserve innocence. And so he believes that white parents should intentionally
00:00:35.120
rob their children's innocence as a way, as a show of racial solidarity. So we're going to talk about
00:00:40.880
all of that coming up. But starting here, one of the things we have seen this week, and for the past
00:00:47.140
many years and decades, really, is that leftism is a religion, and specifically a religion of
00:00:53.200
self-loathing. Now, this may seem counterintuitive at first, because leftism would appear to be a
00:00:58.640
religion of narcissism, religion of self-worship. But really, the two things, narcissism and
00:01:04.600
self-loathing, actually are not mutually exclusive at all. They go hand in hand. I would say, on the
00:01:10.060
contrary, they necessarily go hand in hand, in fact. The definition of narcissism, according to
00:01:15.440
dictionary.com anyway, is selfishness involving a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, and a need
00:01:21.920
for admiration as characterizing a personality type. Well, who does that sound like to you? That is
00:01:29.040
leftism to a T, of course. And there's nothing about it that precludes self-loathing. You know,
00:01:34.880
narcissistic people are quite often very self-loathing, and their obsession with hating
00:01:40.120
themselves, and finding affirmation, and assuaging their sense of guilt, trying to feel better about
00:01:46.540
themselves, trying to get other people to like them, trying to get other people to recognize their
00:01:51.400
virtue and how great they are. That is all narcissism. Now, if you don't believe me that
00:01:58.780
leftism is a religion of self-loathing, then let's just review a few of the incidents from this past
00:02:04.460
week or two. Some of these we've talked about, played some of these clips already individually on
00:02:08.940
the show, but I want to recall them again. And then we're going to get to the kind of like the
00:02:14.380
grand finale of white guilt and white self-loathing. So you want to stick around for that.
00:02:20.640
But what we've seen, you know, aside from the rooting and the rioting and the looting and the
00:02:25.960
anarchy and chaos and everything, are many videos of white people debasing themselves, humiliating
00:02:31.100
themselves in this desperate attempt to prove that they are not racist. And I should say a futile
00:02:38.880
attempt, because it doesn't matter. They're still going to be seen as racist. That's part of
00:02:44.360
the racial narrative. The ideology of leftism is that white people are racist, no matter what
00:02:50.060
racist inherently. And in fact, if you say you aren't racist, that's more, that's just more proof
00:02:55.220
that you are. So it's not going to work, but this is what they're doing. Let's play a couple of these
00:03:01.580
again. We played this on Tuesday. This is a group of white folks literally kneeling before a group of
00:03:09.440
We know he's seen God and he's no longer going to be here in honor of his legacy. We're not
00:03:16.040
rioting, God. We're not shaming anybody, God. We're just humbling ourselves before you.
00:03:23.660
You brought the thunder and rain today, God, because Satan takes the hell today. Father,
00:03:29.420
in Jesus' name, you get the victory. Father, we ask for forgiveness from our black brothers and
00:03:35.020
sisters for years and years of racism. Nothing creepy about that at all. And then we played this
00:03:41.200
yesterday. This is some white people on their knees, in some cases, and or sitting down, hands
00:03:47.200
in the air, repeating every word that a Black Lives Matter activist tells them to repeat.
00:03:52.980
About racism, anti-blackness, or violence. About racism, anti-blackness, or violence. I will use
00:04:02.560
my voice in the most uplifting way possible. I will use my voice in the most uplifting way possible.
00:04:09.260
And do everything in my power to educate my community. And do everything in my power to educate
00:04:15.080
my community. I will love my black neighbors the same as my white ones. I will love my black
00:04:22.660
And can I just say one other thing when you watch these videos? Especially the first one
00:04:27.240
of the white people kneeling. You know, if I would be very uncomfortable, not just as the
00:04:34.100
person kneeling. I simply wouldn't do that. But if somebody was kneeling to me, doesn't that
00:04:41.040
make you really uncomfortable? Isn't that super awkward? And I say that as a theocratic fascist.
00:04:47.740
Now, I say that as somebody under my regime, everybody will kneel before me. But what I'm
00:04:53.260
saying is, because of my incredible humility, I will be very uncomfortable with it. I'm going to
00:04:58.140
require it at gunpoint. If you don't, you'll be killed. But it will hurt me more than it hurts you,
00:05:03.620
is what I'm trying to say. All right. And now here, this is just very sad and infuriating. But here's
00:05:09.780
a, and I've got more about this in this vein during the daily cancellation. But here's a white
00:05:14.360
parent who forced their child to kneel and hold a sign confessing her white privilege. This is the
00:05:21.340
picture. And that's child abuse right there. Imagine indoctrinating your own, what, four or
00:05:28.540
five-year-old child into feeling guilty about their race. How sick and perverted do you have to be?
00:05:36.100
But like I said, we have more about that in the daily cancellation. And then there's this video.
00:05:40.820
Maybe you've seen it. It went pretty viral. And it shows a guy telling a woman to kneel and
00:05:47.000
apologize to him for her white privilege. There's a lot more to this, which we'll play in a second.
00:05:52.700
But here's the video that's going viral all over the place.
00:05:56.800
Excuse me. Hey, excuse me. I work for Black Lives Matter. I'm sorry. I work for Black Lives Matter.
00:06:03.920
I'm sorry that I scared you. But since I work for that company, my CEO has told me to come out today
00:06:10.380
and to bring you on your knees because you have white privilege. So if they see that a white person
00:06:15.760
is getting on their knees, that shows solidarity for the situation. The situation. And could you just
00:06:22.920
please apologize for, you know, for your white privilege? Just apologize.
00:06:29.020
I am. I'm trying to think of the right words to say because that's a big thing to say.
00:06:37.160
I'm incredibly, I'm incredibly sorry about that.
00:06:39.120
You know, with this country, we have that president, Donald Duck, that clown in office.
00:06:44.560
You know, he's brought a lot of bigotry and you're not a part of it, right?
00:07:04.020
And I will play the rest of that video for you in just a second.
00:07:08.520
But before we do, you know, rockauto.com, great sponsors, great friends of this show.
00:07:14.040
And we really appreciate them, not just as a sponsor of the show, but as a great company.
00:07:18.400
Because if you're looking for auto parts, you're looking to, you know, if you have something on your
00:07:23.300
car that needs to be fixed, no reason to go into the auto parts store, just go to rockauto.com.
00:07:29.720
They're always offering the lowest prices possible rather than changing the prices based on what
00:07:35.560
So this is not, you know, a lot of times when it comes to car stuff, you have to worry about that.
00:07:40.080
But you don't have to worry about that with rockauto.com.
00:07:41.940
Rockauto.com is a family business, honest business, serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:07:47.320
You can go to rockauto.com, shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:07:52.060
Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low.
00:07:56.240
And they're the same no matter who you are, a professional, a do-it-yourselfer.
00:07:59.640
They're going to offer you the lowest price they possibly can.
00:08:02.500
The rockauto.com catalog is unique, remarkably easy to navigate.
00:08:08.920
If it's easy for me to navigate, then it will be a breeze for you, okay?
00:08:12.440
Go to rockauto.com right now, see all the parts available for your car or truck.
00:08:17.120
Write Walsh in there, how did you hear about us, box, so that they know that we sent you.
00:08:27.260
That clip is actually from a 45-minute video, a live stream done by a YouTuber who goes by
00:08:36.660
And he's actually not black, but he's Hispanic.
00:08:39.400
He goes around New York City for 45 minutes during the protests and the rioting, and he
00:08:48.060
tells a whole bunch of white people, not just that woman, to kneel on command.
00:08:53.120
And most of them, the vast majority, do exactly what he says immediately and without question.
00:09:01.280
He goes up and says, kneel, and they get on their knees.
00:09:03.380
Now, the guy, Smooth Sanchez, I don't know if that's his Christian name or not, but he's
00:09:17.980
I think actually he's exposing these pitiful, self-loathing masochists.
00:09:23.520
And in that way, he's performing a community service.
00:09:25.980
But, so let me, I pulled a few more clips from his video that I want to play for you.
00:09:38.600
And this is probably all you could possibly stomach.
00:09:41.760
Excuse me, could you take a knee for George Foreman, the guy who just died recently to
00:09:48.320
And I just want you to take a knee like Colin Kaepernick.
00:10:07.840
And it would be an honor if you were to please take a knee for the man that just died this
00:10:15.180
But it's going to be really painful because I just had knee surgery.
00:10:27.420
And so you respect the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:10:32.720
And I would just like it if you get on your knees for, to show your, show that you're
00:10:41.300
And just please apologize for, you know, because when you take a knee, it not only represents
00:10:50.640
It deeper represents what that officer did to that poor man.
00:10:57.020
What he did to George Foreman is, is, is not okay.
00:11:04.340
So, could you please apologize for your white privilege?
00:11:07.720
You know, we, we can't speak on behalf of what everyone else is dealing with.
00:11:16.560
All we can say is that we support the movements that are going on, the nonviolent ones.
00:11:22.280
And we, you know, we partook in a peaceful protest yesterday.
00:11:27.700
But, you know, you guys should be guilty because it was a white man.
00:11:38.060
First of all, I think that this is a very important video in, uh, from an academic sense.
00:11:43.280
I think anthropologists of the future are going to want to watch that video to try to
00:11:52.960
Uh, I mean, that video is not going to answer a lot of questions.
00:11:55.700
It's going to raise a lot of questions, but it will be an important piece of the puzzle,
00:11:59.940
And those women at the end there, did they really just, did I hear that right?
00:12:04.280
They, they, they agreed that they are accessories to the murder of George Floyd because they're
00:12:13.600
And notice, of course, he repeatedly says George Foreman instead of George Floyd.
00:12:17.600
And many of the white people don't even correct him because they're afraid of being called
00:12:23.380
And the other guy who just had knee surgery and, and, and he kneels on the concrete and
00:12:28.680
he's in pain and he does it anyway because he doesn't want to say no to the guy.
00:12:33.800
Now, of course, the correct response when someone runs up to you and tells you to kneel for
00:12:39.420
And the first word starts with F and the second word starts with O.
00:12:42.240
Maybe the second word could start with why, you know, either one of those alternatives
00:12:48.240
I mean, that, that is the correct response when someone says kneel on the ground.
00:12:51.840
Um, but leftism again is a religion that teaches people, white people to hate themselves, to
00:13:00.380
When in reality, of course, nobody should hate themselves for their race.
00:13:06.980
Nobody has any guilt just because of their race.
00:13:15.320
Nobody owes anybody else an apology just based on their race.
00:13:20.740
Nobody is responsible for oppression and persecution or any bad thing at all, just because of their
00:13:35.880
And let's go further and speak specifically here about, about, you know, white people and
00:13:39.920
the white race, um, you know, no individual white person is responsible for whatever sins
00:13:50.700
his ancestors committed, nor does he own apology for them, nor can he apologize for them.
00:13:59.420
An apology for something you didn't do is, uh, not only pitiful and pathetic, but it's completely
00:14:16.020
I'm going to apologize for something that someone did 300 years ago.
00:14:29.420
A white person's ancestors may have committed slavery, murder, rape, oppression, theft of
00:14:40.340
And yes, it's likely that every white person has ancestors who did that sort of thing, but
00:14:46.940
none of those sins are unique to the ancestors of white people.
00:14:50.740
All of those things, all of them were commonplace all over the world and still are.
00:14:56.860
So when I say that it's almost certain that every white person has ancestors who did that,
00:15:01.580
that's just because it's almost certain that every person in the world has ancestors who
00:15:07.500
The only difference being that slavery is abolished in the West now, while it's still practiced
00:15:15.780
Go up, but going back in history, slavery was institutional everywhere for thousands of
00:15:31.960
And if you wanted to keep your land anywhere, you had to defend it.
00:15:43.280
So the idea that white people are solely or uniquely responsible for any of this stuff
00:15:55.260
But I talk about leftism being a religion of self-loathing.
00:16:00.480
And you might say, well, it's not because what if you're not white?
00:16:09.440
Well, the problem is that the self-loathing doesn't just apply to white people.
00:16:13.940
OK, this is an issue that extends way beyond race.
00:16:16.280
And we'll talk about how far it extends in just a second.
00:16:20.100
But first, a word from some relatively new sponsors on the show who we really appreciate.
00:16:27.740
You know, having a good HR department, I think, is crucially important at all times,
00:16:33.540
especially now with all the challenges in the world.
00:16:36.300
When running a business, you know, HR problems can kill you.
00:16:40.300
Wrongful termination suits, minimum wage requirements, labor regulations is very complicated.
00:16:45.000
There are a lot of landmines that you're walking over there.

That's Bambi.com slash Walsh, spelled B-A-M-B-E-E dot com slash Walsh.
00:17:37.100
Okay, so the religion of self-loathing goes way beyond race.
00:17:43.580
You know, leftism, yes, teaches white people to hate their race.
00:17:47.200
It also teaches men and boys to hate their sex.
00:17:50.860
Hate it so much that they literally mutilate themselves in a vain attempt to change it.
00:17:55.740
It teaches women to hate their femininity, to hate it so much that in some cases they go out of their way to be boorish and crass so as to be more like men or at least more like the cartoonish idea of men that feminists have in their heads.
00:18:13.540
It teaches independent people to hate their independence.
00:18:16.140
The things that are most natural and good and healthy in you and about you, the things that are most fundamental, most elemental, most unchangeable, those are the very things you are taught to hate.
00:18:34.260
Those are the things that you are taught to try and change, even though you can't.
00:18:38.980
Meanwhile, the things you should hate about yourself, the things that you can and should change.
00:18:46.140
You know, say your crappy personality, your vanity, your selfishness, your sense of entitlement, your unhealthy lifestyle, those kinds of personality defects, those are the very things you are told to accept and love.
00:19:00.480
Those are the things you're told you cannot change.
00:19:06.120
So a man should hate his masculinity and seek to become a woman to change it.
00:19:11.080
But, for example, an obese person should love their obesity and accept that it can never be changed.
00:19:16.140
This is the dichotomy that you get from leftism.
00:19:21.080
And that is why it is a contemptible, toxic, noxious poison.
00:19:28.320
By the way, before we get to headlines, one other point about this that I was thinking about.
00:19:32.560
When you watch that video of the white people falling to their knees.
00:19:37.860
And there's another example of this, too, that I wasn't getting very much into on the show because I don't know how real it is.
00:19:44.040
But trending on social media this morning was the hashtag bald for BLM.
00:19:51.100
And the idea is that you're supposed to shave your head.
00:19:55.120
White people are supposed to shave their heads in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:19:59.820
Now, I am 99.9999% sure that this started as a 4chan hoax where they're trying to get dumb white people to do this to embarrass themselves.
00:20:11.300
I'm not sure how many people actually did it for real.
00:20:14.680
There were a lot of posts, especially white women, showing off their bald heads.
00:20:21.360
I mean, it was people trying to get others to do it, which I really appreciate.
00:20:28.760
I'm not sure how many people really did it sincerely.
00:20:30.960
Although, based on that video we played, it wouldn't surprise me at all if a lot of people did it.
00:20:36.040
And the point is, or at least another point, when you see that video, you see all this.
00:20:44.020
For these white liberals, the worst thing in the world that could ever happen to them is that some people think they're racist.
00:20:55.300
That, for them, they would take anything over that.
00:20:59.080
I mean, they would prefer for you to see them in any other way than that.
00:21:03.820
If they had to choose between one person thinking they're racist and everybody in the world thinking that they're serial killing cannibals,
00:21:16.840
They would prefer for everyone in the world to think that they're serial killers and cannibals than for one person to think they're racist.
00:21:22.760
And in fact, if they could get you to believe that they were racially woke cannibals who only killed and ate white people,
00:21:33.900
They might actually try to cultivate that brand.
00:21:38.340
But the point is, for them, it's the worst thing in the world to be thought of that way, even for a ridiculous reason.
00:21:46.460
And that's why they so often, in an argument with you, will throw the word racist at you.
00:21:53.820
So rather than presenting an argument, they'll just say, oh, you're racist.
00:21:58.680
They think that will shut you down because for them, if it was them, it would shut them down.
00:22:03.980
They will do anything to avoid being called that.
00:22:07.340
And so they think other people operate that way.
00:22:15.800
And what they expect you to do is say, oh, no, no, no, no.
00:22:22.000
Just that's how they expect you to respond, because it's exactly how they would respond.
00:22:27.200
And then when you don't, that's when they get very flabbergasted.
00:22:35.700
What they don't understand is that for a lot of us, you have so misused and misapplied and abused this term that it doesn't mean anything anymore.
00:22:47.400
When you call somebody racist, it could be that they're actually racist.
00:22:54.280
But, you know, 90% of the time, with the way that it's used, you're talking about someone who's not racist at all.
00:23:02.860
And so for a lot of us, for a lot of us normal people, we just don't care anymore.
00:23:07.300
Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, whatever, it doesn't matter.
00:23:18.100
This is a weapon that you wield that is only effective against you.
00:23:22.780
It's like Superman trying to use kryptonite on somebody else.
00:23:32.120
Because that's a weapon that only, that weapon gets you, not us.
00:23:40.800
If you hadn't misused the word racist so much, then, you know, it would have some meaning still.
00:23:51.360
And when you called someone racist, there would be some real power to that charge.
00:24:00.640
Number one, Joe Biden was talking to Don Cheadle for some reason.
00:24:04.200
And that's when he shared his true thoughts about the American people.
00:24:08.600
We'll have to address these issues straight on.
00:24:15.280
So when a president stands up and divides people all the time,
00:24:18.480
you're going to get the worst of us to come out.
00:24:22.620
The president constantly talks about equality without lecturing.
00:24:28.780
Talks about and has administration that looks like the country and the rest.
00:24:38.000
Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation?
00:24:41.400
I don't think the vast majority of people think that.
00:24:44.440
There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15% of the people out there that are just not very good people.
00:24:54.220
We have to appeal to that and we have to unite people.
00:25:07.020
Probably way more than 15% aren't very good people.
00:25:09.720
The idea that everyone in the country is fundamentally decent and good is silly, of course, and childish and clearly not the case.
00:25:17.780
But I think, and I think Biden is singling out the wrong 15%.
00:25:22.540
Also politically, of course, this is a boneheaded thing to say.
00:25:26.640
There's just never a time when it's a good idea for a politician to say that any percentage of Americans aren't good or decent.
00:25:33.020
There's no winning there when you say that, even if it's clearly true.
00:25:39.280
And by the way, if we're listing groups of people who aren't good and decent, we should obviously start with politicians, Joe Biden included.
00:25:46.720
We should start there and then we can branch out from there.
00:25:52.520
Several members of the Minneapolis City Council this week have expressed support for radical changes to how the city handles law enforcement, including a move to dismantle the police department and replace it with a transformative new model for public safety.
00:26:05.540
And so we're hearing about this dismantling the police, defunding the police.
00:26:09.720
According to the Daily Wire, celebrities like Megan Rapinoe, John Legend, Lizzo have signed a letter demanding that police departments be defunded.
00:26:18.380
And I think that's very interesting because you've got these wealthy celebrities who live in gated communities and got personal security.
00:26:28.340
They're surrounded by armed security all the time.
00:26:31.660
They've got the gate around their house, the armed guards and everything.
00:26:37.380
What they're saying now is, yeah, get rid of the police department for these neighborhoods and these people who are in dangerous neighborhoods.
00:26:54.340
Number three, Tony Dunges, former NFL head coach, Super Bowl winner, NFL analyst now, was on a sports talk show this morning.
00:27:03.020
And he was asked about the Drew Brees situation.
00:27:06.380
Drew Brees, like we discussed yesterday, came out and said that people should not disrespect the flag, that a bunch of insane crybabies freaked out about it.
00:27:15.420
Speaking of self-flagellating white people, Brees basically took a knee, crawled on his hands and feet and said, please forgive me.
00:27:25.960
Who has to have those conversations, you think, Tony?
00:27:30.500
And we have to have Drew Brees saying what he said.
00:27:39.200
It may have been not exactly the way he wanted to express it.
00:27:44.680
And we can't be afraid to say, okay, Drew, I don't agree with you, but let's talk about this.
00:27:49.780
And let's, let's, let's sit down and talk about it.
00:27:52.540
We can't just say anytime something happens that we don't agree with, hey, I'm done with that.
00:28:01.700
This battle is not going to be won by demonstrating and throwing bricks through windows.
00:28:06.160
It's not going to be won by the government saying, hey, we're going to bring out these
00:28:13.820
The only notable thing about that, about what Tony Dunges said there, is that it is notable.
00:28:21.160
It's, it's notable that something like that is notable these days, because what he's saying
00:28:26.080
is, in reality, basic common sense, obviously correct, obviously the most sensible and ethical
00:28:35.460
He's saying, hey, if, if we have a difference of opinion, let's talk about it.
00:28:40.500
If somebody expresses an opinion about the flag or a protest, rather than crying and freaking
00:28:46.540
out and panicking, why not talk to them and say, why do you feel that way?
00:28:53.160
And, oh, by the way, don't throw bricks in people's windows.
00:28:58.860
And it becomes this, this headline thing and it goes viral.
00:29:01.680
It's all over the place because it's so rare to hear, especially on national TV from a prominent
00:29:18.720
I was asking this the other day, can you name like, I don't know, five Americans who
00:29:25.800
everybody agrees is respectable and decent and admirable?
00:29:32.720
I think in times past, almost all Americans could agree on a whole host of people who they
00:29:42.400
But these days, things are so political and ideologically divided.
00:29:48.060
Everything becomes political that there's almost nobody left who everybody admires.
00:30:09.320
I think they shoot the show in America, so we'll call him American.
00:30:26.500
Again, Attorney General William Barr said on Thursday that federal law enforcement officials
00:30:30.120
have evidence that Antifa and other extremist groups have been involved in instigating and
00:30:33.740
participating in acts of violence that have rocked the nation for days.
00:30:37.580
As riots have broken out following the death of George Floyd.
00:30:40.380
I think we're going to see a lot more about there's a lot more to come out about this,
00:30:46.000
And what I really want to know are the Democrats and high profile people who have been,
00:30:51.980
you know, personally involved in communicating with Antifa and coordinating with them.
00:30:57.940
I guarantee there's some of that stuff going on.
00:31:05.460
But as I've been saying all along, we cannot let this distract us from, we cannot solely
00:31:14.300
I've got no problem with criticizing Antifa and call them domestic terrorist organization,
00:31:23.200
If they are a domestic terrorist organization, then you have no right to be involved with them.
00:31:28.980
But we cannot allow, here's what we really can't allow.
00:31:34.780
We can't allow Black Lives Matter as an organization to scapegoat Antifa.
00:31:41.100
Because Black Lives Matter and Antifa are two sides of the same coin.
00:31:48.220
There are even a lot of conservatives who seem to want to exonerate Black Lives Matter and make this
00:31:55.460
Black Lives Matter is an extremist organization, has a lengthy history of violence.
00:32:05.160
Now we're going to go to our daily cancellation.
00:32:08.140
Before we do, you know, where do you even begin when you talk about all the things that are happening
00:32:14.640
It's a lot to stay on top of and stay educated on because the left-wing media is just constantly
00:32:18.600
pushing their agenda without giving you the real story.
00:32:20.880
That's why we here at Daily Wire bring, we like to skip the mainstream narrative to bring
00:32:26.720
So right now, go over to dailywire.com slash subscribe, get a Daily Wire membership for
00:32:33.180

00:32:39.700
And CNN isn't going to give that to you anytime soon.
00:32:43.480
Now for the daily cancellation, today is a nice bookend of our conversation to start
00:32:49.380
Now, Tim Wise calls himself an anti-racism educator.
00:33:00.300
I think that the important thing for white parents to keep in the front of our mind is
00:33:04.700
that if black children in this country are not allowed innocence and childhood without
00:33:09.300
fear of being killed by police or marginalized in some other way, then our children are going to be
00:33:15.200
If Tamir Rice can be shot dead in a public park playing with a toy gun, something white
00:33:19.960
children do all over this country every day without the same fear of being shot.
00:33:24.260
If Tamir Rice can be killed, then white children need to be told at least at the same age.
00:33:28.980
If they can't be innocent, we don't get to be innocent.
00:33:31.580
And if we would keep that in the front of our minds, then perhaps we would be able to hear
00:33:35.960
what black and brown folks are telling us every day and have been for many years.
00:33:45.320
Um, now, first of all, as this anti-racism educator tells parents to be racist against
00:33:55.080
their own kids, a few points I think need to be made here.
00:33:58.380
Number one, white children play with toy guns and don't get shot by cops.
00:34:07.760
Tamir Rice was a horrendous and tragic situation.
00:34:10.120
And the reason we all know about it and know his name and remember it years later is that
00:34:17.960
So this idea that only white children can play with toys without getting killed by the cops
00:34:23.620
Millions of white and black children play with toys, uh, and are perfectly safe in doing so.
00:34:27.540
Number two, preserving, preserving innocence, all right, is, is something that parents and
00:34:37.100
Primarily parents, but communities also can help.
00:34:40.400
If a black child in the inner city has been robbed of his innocence, it's not because of the
00:34:45.960
police, it's not because of the systemic racism.
00:34:53.880
It's because his parents have failed him and his community has failed him, has failed to
00:35:02.580
And it is true, in fact, that many black children in the inner city have had their innocence robbed.
00:35:08.500
But, um, the thing is that probably wouldn't have happened if they had two married parents
00:35:18.520
The fatherless rate in the inner city is like 80%, if not more.
00:35:23.180
So if they had two married parents in the home, especially a father present and determined
00:35:27.480
to preserve their innocence, and a community that was focused on protecting its children,
00:35:32.340
then this wouldn't have, wouldn't have happened.
00:35:36.220
Many communities in the inner city do not have that focus.
00:35:43.960
Speaking of scapegoats, it's very easy to scapegoat the cops.
00:35:47.080
It's easy to scapegoat, scapegoat the government.
00:35:49.960
And there's plenty of legitimate criticism to be levied against those groups.
00:35:55.340
But at the end of the day, okay, um, when you go to the inner city, you're going to find
00:36:03.520
vast majority of kids do not have a stable home life.
00:36:11.660
And then, you know, you talk about their innocence, them not having innocence.
00:36:16.740
Now, um, and, and, and, and also this problem of children, you know, having their innocence
00:36:31.920
It happens among white families and white neighborhoods all the time.
00:36:35.060
Many white parents fail to provide their children with guidance and protection.
00:36:39.340
And next thing you know, their, their eight-year-old son is on Pornhub looking at hardcore porn,
00:36:43.680
In fact, in, in, with some suburban white families, they go out of their way to intentionally
00:36:50.600
They take them to, you know, drag, drag shows at the library.
00:36:56.040
This is a crisis level problem that I have talked about many times across the entire country
00:37:05.220
It manifests itself in different ways in different communities, but it happens across the board.
00:37:08.840
And it, but it goes back to the parents, the parents not doing their jobs.
00:37:12.280
Now, and, and I say that if you are a parent dead set on preserving your child's innocence,
00:37:19.300
that's still going to be a huge challenge because of the culture and the society we live in.
00:37:23.960
But the first line of defense is you as parents.
00:37:27.340
Now, um, number three, to emphasize, it is the job of the parents primarily to, to guard
00:37:37.100
If you take that away from your child because other kids don't have it, that's no different
00:37:43.380
than starving your child because other kids, you know, kids in Ethiopia are starving.
00:37:49.100
Now, if you want to instill in your child a gratitude and appreciation for the food that
00:37:54.400
he's provided, uh, because other kids don't have food, that's a good thing.
00:37:58.880
I tell my kids that all the time, uh, you know, if kids are going to aren't, aren't finishing
00:38:03.540
the food on their, their plate, you tell them to be grateful for the fact that they have
00:38:07.340
That's a good thing to tell kids, but you're not going to starve them because other kids
00:38:12.120
That would be deranged, abusive, insane, criminal.
00:38:22.500
I don't think, I probably didn't need to go 10 minutes explaining why Tim Wise is wrong
00:38:27.300
for saying that white parents should intentionally rob their kids' innocence based on race.
00:38:31.340
I mean, we probably didn't need that lengthy explanation, but, uh, I gave it to you anyway,
00:38:38.180
This whole show could be called Stating the Obvious, the Matt Wall Show.
00:38:45.620
Um, almost nothing that I say is, is, is, uh, really that revolutionary, insightful, or impressive.
00:38:52.860
Um, it's just that there are so many maniacs in the world today that we actually need to
