Today on The Matt Walsh Show, BLM lies and fabrications lead to more protests.
00:00:04.720
And as we have learned, of course, facts don't matter to Black Lives Matter.
00:00:09.700
Maybe instead of blaming police for choices that criminals make,
00:00:13.340
we should start at some point to consider blaming the people who actually make the choices.
00:00:18.420
Also, five headlines, including Joe Biden race baiting,
00:00:21.220
California Democrats moving to decriminalize pederasty,
00:00:24.300
and Harry and Meghan sign a Netflix deal and promise to make
00:00:27.220
some of the worst programming the world has ever seen, I'm sure.
00:00:30.840
Finally, in our daily cancellation, we're going to talk about the black college professor
00:00:35.600
from, quote, The Hood, who just confessed to being a white Jewish girl from suburban Missouri.
00:00:40.720
So lots to cover today, but we're going to begin with our good friends over at Rock Auto.
00:00:47.140

00:02:02.360
Write Walsh in there, how did you hear about us box,
00:02:08.140
Okay, or that I sent you, really, specifically.
00:02:11.340
Now, I would say that protests erupted in D.C. this week
00:02:16.460
over the officer-involved shooting of a black man,
00:02:20.280
Protests could not erupt because they were already happening.
00:02:23.120
Cities across the country have been in a state of perpetual protests
00:02:28.540
New events are simply tossed like more logs into the fire.
00:02:32.680
Protests are not really in response to the events.
00:02:35.860
It is more that the events are fabricated to feed the protest.
00:02:42.480
that a, quote, child had been shot, quote, in the back by police.
00:02:50.320
ranting and raving about the cold-blooded execution of an innocent kid.
00:02:53.780
Witnesses on the ground, well, not witnesses of the event,
00:02:57.140
but witnesses to other alleged witnesses who supposedly saw it
00:03:00.800
or heard about it or heard from someone who talked to someone who saw it,
00:03:04.500
they said that the, quote, child was also, quote, unarmed.
00:03:11.460
reporting what she saw or rather what she heard about
00:03:27.600
and we found out a 72-year-old was shot by the police officer.
00:03:31.480
And do we have any details from the community on what happened?
00:03:45.000
in disbelief that a police officer would take a young man's life.
00:03:50.780
Some people were saying he was shot in the back.
00:03:53.720
Is that something that can be verified or is it too early to say?
00:03:58.440
Because there's been some things where he was shot in the back
00:04:00.820
and then we've also heard that he was shot in his chest.
00:04:05.700
Yes, the one thing we know for sure is that he was unarmed.
00:04:17.080
But as we are, of course, stuck here in this eternal time loop
00:04:21.340
but with more racial strife and less Bill Murray,
00:04:24.140
the next part of the story unfolded exactly as expected.
00:04:33.320
D.C. police held a press conference on Thursday,
00:04:41.340
Here's the police chief describing what actually happened.
00:04:51.480
were in the area of the 200 block of Orange Street Southeast
00:04:55.660
to investigate the report of a man in possession of a gun.
00:05:11.900
to approach a parked car that was occupied by multiple men,
00:05:16.180
two individuals fled on foot, and officers pursued them.
00:05:20.940
One of those men brandished a firearm from his waistband
00:05:25.700
In response, an MPD officer just discharged his service weapon,
00:05:33.360
The individual sustained a single gunshot wound to his chest.
00:05:40.740
and members of the D.C. Fire and E.M.S. transported him
00:05:44.060
to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
00:05:47.440
The decedent has been identified as 18-year-old Dion Kaye
00:05:57.760
that Mr. Kaye was in possession of at the time of the incident.
00:06:01.000
In fact, he actually understates the case there.
00:06:03.420
The body cam clearly shows that the suspect, Dion Kaye,
00:06:07.800
is running towards the officer with his gun drawn.
00:06:11.480
Let's take a look at that body cam footage right now.
00:06:45.800
I don't know. I'm looking for the gun. He's up there.
00:07:06.500
Kaye had shot a live stream video of himself and his friends waving their guns around.
00:07:18.100
But none of this matters in our post-truth society.
00:07:21.080
Those who claim that Kaye was an unarmed, innocent child,
00:07:25.140
only to find out that Kaye was actually an armed adult gang member,
00:07:27.900
shot in the chest by a Hispanic officer while brandishing his weapon,
00:07:30.640
simply ignored the new revelations or else seamlessly transitioned into a
00:07:34.800
new story about a remorseful suspect who was just about to throw his gun away
00:07:42.140
Little effort is made anymore to come up with a plausible narrative.
00:07:45.900
You know, we've reached a point where the facts simply do not matter, period.
00:07:51.500
This was evidenced elsewhere this week when protests began,
00:07:59.440
Now, he died several months ago after asphyxiating with a hood over his head
00:08:06.860
Prude was in custody because he was running naked through the streets
00:08:10.300
at three o'clock in the morning while high on PCP.
00:08:13.140
The hood was placed over his head because he was spitting on the arresting officers
00:08:18.500
Remember, this was also in March, in the early days of the COVID hysteria.
00:08:22.380
Um, the medical examiner report lists delirium and PCP intoxication
00:08:38.620
Doesn't matter how business owners and residents feel
00:08:40.740
when their livelihoods are destroyed by looters and rioters.
00:08:43.400
NPR just published an interview with Vicki Osterweil,
00:08:46.580
who's the author of a book called In Defense of Looting.
00:08:48.980
One of the dissent defenses she offered for the looting in the interview,
00:08:52.460
I'm not making this up, is that looting feels good.
00:08:57.780
It provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure.
00:09:04.660
And I think that's part of it that doesn't really get talked about.
00:09:08.900
That riots and looting are experienced as sort of joyous and liberatory.
00:09:13.880
Yes, it isn't talked about because it's insane, Vicki, you psychopath.
00:09:18.980
So, the people victimized by looting, their feelings don't matter.
00:09:23.960
It also doesn't matter how the past victims of lionized criminals like George Floyd feel,
00:09:31.560
when they see their tormentors and abusers hailed as civil rights martyrs.
00:09:35.720
As it turns out, feelings matter about as much as facts.
00:09:40.640
All that really counts is the far-left ideological agenda.
00:09:45.020
Feelings and facts are weighted according to their usefulness to that agenda.
00:09:49.180
And I actually think this is an important point to emphasize,
00:09:51.420
because if somebody valued feelings over facts, they'd be wrong and irrational.
00:09:57.200
But if they use that scale consistently and applied it to everyone,
00:10:00.260
we'd have to at least admit that they're empathetic, which is a positive trait.
00:10:03.660
Empathetic to the point of madness, I grant you, but empathetic nonetheless.
00:10:07.300
Yet, when you look at BLM militants or rioters or looters, do you see empathy?
00:10:12.720
Do you see any great concern for the feelings of others?
00:10:19.020
They are not only dismissive of facts, but also dismissive of the impact their actions have on others.
00:10:24.700
If they care about feelings at all, it is only their own feelings, nobody else's.
00:10:29.120
Now, in a world where meaningful reflection is possible, it would be worthwhile to step us to the side here
00:10:37.600
and consider why events like the Dion Kaye shooting actually happen.
00:10:42.140
So, pretending for a moment that we live in such a world, let me suggest that
00:10:45.300
these events have very little to do with police officers.
00:10:50.180
All of the police reform in the world won't stop men like Dion Kaye from getting themselves hurt or killed,
00:10:59.120
Amid the panic over police shootings and the never-ending dissection and second-guessing
00:11:05.200
of the actions of police officers, rarely does anyone stop to ask questions about the suspect.
00:11:11.520
And that's too bad, because several very good questions could be asked.
00:11:15.760
Speaking specifically of Dion Kaye, though similar questions arise in many of these situations,
00:11:19.580
we might ask, why was he riding around town waving his gun around?
00:11:24.300
Why did he advertise his crimes on a public forum for all to see?
00:11:32.860
If he had made different choices anywhere along that chain, he'd still be alive today.
00:11:38.760
If the police did anything wrong, which they didn't,
00:11:42.560
it would be in their reaction to the bad choices of Dion Kaye.
00:11:47.200
With extremely rare exception, this is almost always the case in police shootings.
00:11:52.720
Even the bad ones are, in nearly every case, a bad reaction to a bad choice by the other guy.
00:12:00.040
Yet we're never supposed to question those choices, the first choices, the other guy's choices.
00:12:04.200
We're supposed to start our investigation further down the line.
00:12:07.900
And this is why it's always concluded that officers are horrible sociopathic murderers,
00:12:12.260
because we assess their reaction independent of the thing they're reacting to.
00:12:17.200
Which is like, if I'm driving recklessly and I swerve into oncoming traffic,
00:12:21.240
and you happen to be in the oncoming traffic, and so you swerve too and kill someone,
00:12:25.200
but the accident investigators completely ignore my role in it.
00:12:28.580
That'd be great for me, but you're screwed, because now it will automatically look like you were drunk or reckless,
00:12:33.420
when really the drunk and reckless person was me.
00:12:36.220
And even if you were drunk and reckless, making the whole thing much worse than it had to be,
00:12:40.160
it still wouldn't be fair to arbitrarily absolve me of all blame and act like I had nothing to do with it.
00:12:46.040
And it's even more important in cases like this to try and uncover the reasons behind Dion Kaye's behavior,
00:12:52.040
because there are a lot of Dion K's in D.C. and every other major city in America.
00:12:57.780
There is, if you like, a systemic problem, an underlying problem.
00:13:05.040
And the symptoms of this problem are well known.
00:13:06.780
Crime, violence, murder, drugs, all these things that plague these communities.
00:13:10.820
That's why the police are more involved in these communities and more interactive.
00:13:16.220
And why police interactions are more likely to turn violent.
00:13:20.280
Only a vanishingly small percentage of arrests turn deadly,
00:13:23.260
but the more crime you have in a community, the more arrests, the more people killed by cops.
00:13:28.760
It's a very simple formula, really. It's not confusing.
00:13:32.820
So again, the conversation must go back to the crime.
00:13:37.660
If you have an 18-year-old guy running around town, brandishing gums,
00:13:40.500
live streaming it on Instagram, pretending like real life is a rap video,
00:13:46.780
it is just the height of absurdity to suggest that the problem is the police
00:13:50.860
and not the culture and upbringing that led him to make those choices.
00:13:55.540
Now, I don't know Deon Kay's specific family situation.
00:14:01.540
But what I can say is that for many guys like Deon Kay,
00:14:11.640
someone to show them what to do with all of that masculine energy and aggressiveness,
00:14:18.200
someone to direct them towards healthy outlets for the innate need they have
00:14:22.700
to be seen as tough and strong and intimidating, a desire that all boys have,
00:14:27.160
a desire that should not be suppressed, but rather directed.
00:14:31.720
If it's not directed, or perhaps harnessed is a better word,
00:14:38.520
So in these crime-ridden communities in the city,
00:14:41.380
if a boy has no male role model, no one to direct and harness his masculine energy,
00:14:47.080
he will end up looking in two places for that direction.
00:14:51.040
One, to his peers, who are just as lost as he is,
00:14:54.120
and two, to the media, pop culture, especially rap music.
00:14:58.920
In those Instagram videos, Deon Kay is literally acting out rap music while listening to it.
00:15:06.680
And that's unfortunate because the music explicitly glorifies drugs, violence, and criminality.
00:15:11.820
What happens then when a kid with no father, no male role model,
00:15:17.840
pumps those kinds of messages into his ears all day, every day, all throughout his formative years,
00:15:24.460
and lives in an environment that, in all the wrong ways, mirrors those same messages?
00:15:36.240
But we aren't supposed to talk about the culture, the upbringing, or lack thereof.
00:15:39.640
No, no, when a kid has no father figure, no male role models,
00:15:43.800
and his mind spends all of its formative years marinating in messaging that expressly glorifies suicidal criminal behavior,
00:15:52.540
and then he actually goes and commits suicidal criminal behavior,
00:16:03.760
Nothing and no one else is to blame but the police.
00:16:06.640
A man can make 100 bad choices in a day, all leading to the final bad choice of drawing a gun on a cop,
00:16:12.900
and somehow the cop is to blame for everything, all of it, the whole chain of events?
00:16:29.680
There's a lot more to talk about, and I think it's time we start talking about it.
00:16:44.220
We'll get right to the inevitable Joe Biden moment while speaking to people at a church.
00:16:50.460
He got away from race baiting and throwing police under the bus for a moment to talk about taxes for some reason,
00:16:56.220
but then he stopped himself, and this happened.
00:17:00.540
Nineteen corporations making a billion dollars apiece don't pay a single penny in taxes.
00:17:09.200
I'm not going to punish anybody, but everybody should pay a fair share.
00:17:19.620
Yeah, Joe, not the best joke given the circumstances.
00:17:21.580
Earlier in the day, the Biden campaign, speaking of race baiting, released an ad, and it is—I almost hesitate to say it because there's so much competition,
00:17:34.360
but it is perhaps the most disingenuous and misleading political ad I've ever seen in my life.
00:17:44.120
Why in this nation do black Americans wake up knowing that they can lose their life in the course of just living their life?
00:17:52.280
Part of the point of freedom is to be free from brutality, from injustice, from racism, and all of its manifestations.
00:18:00.560
We have to let people know that we not only understand their struggle,
00:18:04.560
but they understand the fact they deserve to be treated with dignity.
00:18:10.200
Reforming policing in this country means creating a national standard on use of force
00:18:16.340
and conditioning federal funds for police departments on adoption of that standard.
00:18:33.420
we have such an opportunity now to change people's lives for the better.
00:18:37.600
It's about who we are, what we believe, and maybe most importantly, who we want to be.
00:18:43.180
Now is the time for racial justice, he says, at the age of 78.
00:18:47.860
After spending like five decades in public service.
00:18:55.020
I mean, you've just now decided that white supremacist police officers are out murdering black people in droves,
00:19:03.420
Or did you only recently decide that this problem existed?
00:19:11.160
I can ask the same question about when you exactly decided that women can have penises and men can get pregnant,
00:19:18.660
That seems to be a, you know, a rather new point of view,
00:19:21.520
and kind of a strange point of view for a person to adopt in their 70s.
00:19:25.700
Biden lived his whole life, then got to the age of like 75.
00:19:28.180
Suddenly he woke up in a world where racist cops are murdering black people and men are running around having babies.
00:19:34.080
He never mentioned anything about any of this before.
00:19:36.900
Now, all of a sudden, though, he's talking about it.
00:19:41.260
This has got to be the weirdest flip-flop in American history, and the media never asks him about it.
00:19:48.760
They never say, hey, Joe, when do these hallucinations begin?
00:19:51.640
Also in the ad, Joe asks, why in this nation do black Americans wake up knowing that they could lose their life in the course of just living their life?
00:20:02.600
That's the case for all Americans and all people.
00:20:06.260
Everyone eventually loses their life in the course of living their life.
00:20:10.740
Are you going to lose your life after you've already lost it?
00:20:13.300
Are you going to lose your life while not in the course of living it?
00:20:17.480
But, of course, what he means to imply is that racist cops are prowling the streets, executing black people en masse.
00:20:28.700
And, again, we go back to when did Joe Biden develop these paranoid delusions?
00:20:37.920
Because, of course, these claims about racist, you know, black people have to live in fear because racist white people are out hunting and killing them.
00:20:49.060
You know, completely disconnected from reality.
00:20:52.500
There is no evidence of any kind, period, to support it.
00:20:59.580
But, you know, if he has to inflame racial tensions and, you know, all of that in order to grasp onto power so he can live the last few years of his barely sentient life at this point, you know, having the power that he's thirsted for his whole life, then he's fine.
00:21:21.440
He'll help just destroy the country on his way out the door.
00:21:33.220
Number two, speaking of decent men, Michael Reinhold, the man who murdered the Trump supporter in Portland, was shot dead by law enforcement yesterday while they tried to arrest him.
00:21:44.260
U.S. Marshals say that he pulled a gun while they were trying to apprehend him and he was killed.
00:21:52.280
You know, I really am curious to see if Reinhold is the first white man killed by law enforcement that BLM decides to get outraged about.
00:22:03.160
If they, not that there's any reason to be outraged by it, but that hasn't generally stopped BLM in the past.
00:22:08.440
So I'm just curious if they'll break their policy of ignoring white death entirely for Reinhold.
00:22:18.340
The California State Senate passed a controversial reform to its sex offender registry Monday that would allow a young adult who has gay sex with a minor to escape registering, in some cases, for the sex offender registry, based on a judge's discretion.
00:22:36.700
SB 145 finally passed the 40-member State Senate by a vote of 23 to 10 after being introduced by California State Senator Scott Weiner.
00:22:47.200
Weiner argued that the current law discriminates against LGBT youth because, as the Chronicle explained, under current law, a judge could decide whether to place a man who has vaginal intercourse with an underage teenage girl on the sex offender registry based on the facts of the case.
00:22:59.040
But if anal or oral sex or vaginal penetration with anything other than a penis is involved, the adult must register as a sex offender.
00:23:05.920
Under SB 145, if a young adult has gay sex with a minor 14 or older who is less than 10 years younger, a judge will have the discretion whether to place the individual on the sex offender registry.
00:23:19.260
Okay, and as you heard there, the justification being given for this is that in some cases, when a heterosexual man vaginally rapes a child, they are not put on the sex offender registry.
00:23:37.300
And so, as Weiner is arguing here, the same should go for gay men.
00:23:42.460
I don't think I, I really don't think I need to spend time explaining the problem with this logic.
00:23:53.260
But, you know, I spend most of my show explaining logic that probably doesn't need to be explained, so we'll do it here, too.
00:23:58.540
The obvious problem here is if you're going to pass a bill to address this disparity,
00:24:05.720
the bill should be one that ensures that men who vaginally rape children go to jail and are treated more harshly than they are.
00:24:20.520
If, if in California, there could be cases where a 24, because this is the implications,
00:24:27.760
you could have a 24-year-old man raping a 14-year-old child,
00:24:33.260
and they might not go in the sex offender registry for that.
00:24:39.240
At least if it's vaginal rape, you know, man-woman vaginal rape.
00:24:52.560
But let's pass a law that does away with that insanity and ensures that a man who does that goes to prison.
00:25:02.080
I can think of harsher penalties also that we could consider.
00:25:05.380
But no, what the Democrats are saying is, no, let's make it even.
00:25:09.780
What they're saying is, if this kind of child rape is legal,
00:25:13.900
then this kind of child rape over here should also be legal.
00:25:22.040
And this guy has, you know, he's going around in the media complaining and making a martyr of himself
00:25:33.280
But if people are angry at him, it's because he's trying to decriminalize certain forms of child rape.
00:25:40.240
And the argument he's making in favor of it is that, well, that kind is legal.
00:26:02.600
I have number four written down here for my five headlines, and I never wrote a number four.
00:26:11.020
Maybe number four was going to be the Atlantic story about Donald Trump.
00:26:17.200
You've probably heard by now where they're claiming, unnamed sources claiming that Donald Trump was insulting, you know, wounded veterans and calling them losers.
00:26:25.640
And he didn't want to visit a grave of a veteran cemetery because he said they're losers because they died.
00:26:35.700
And it's, you know, if something like that actually happened and he actually said that, and you're in the administration or you heard it, then you go on the record and tell your story.
00:26:55.320
And by the way, at least five named sources have come out and denied this and said, so you've got all the named sources are saying it didn't happen.
00:27:11.120
Number five, Prince Harry and Meghan have signed apparently a mega Netflix deal.
00:27:15.800
They're going to be producing a whole bunch of documentaries and other shows.
00:27:18.940
Most of the content about themselves, presumably.
00:27:23.840
I'm just wondering who would want to watch this?
00:27:27.640
Aren't these two of the most boring people on earth?
00:27:34.240
Why would anyone care what they're doing with their lives?
00:27:39.900
Could there be anything less interesting than the story of two rich people who don't have jobs?
00:27:51.680
But I'm not going to pretend that my life is interesting.
00:27:55.100
But what a reality show of these two consists of.
00:27:57.500
What would be the conflict that drives the narrative?
00:28:01.260
They have a disagreement about what kind of caviar to serve at their two-year-old's birthday party.
00:28:08.320
Anyway, the LA Times has a statement from the couple.
00:28:41.680
Did they just call themselves courageous and resilient?
00:28:46.160
Did they just say the lesson that they've taken from their life experiences is the value of courage?
00:28:54.840
Harry and Megan, whose son Archie is 15 months old, added that making inspirational family programs is important to them as is, quote, powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens.
00:29:04.360
They said that Netflix's reach will help them, quote, share impactful content that unlocks action.
00:29:12.560
They're also committed to amplifying diverse voices in the front of and behind the camera, as well as diverse hiring practices for roles they're filling at their production company.
00:29:21.200
I would honestly rather be skinned alive and thrown into a fire filled with snakes, burning snakes, burning snakes with hepatitis.
00:29:33.360
I would rather that than spend five seconds watching anything these two produce.
00:29:49.000
For our daily cancellation, let's consider the story of a woman named Jessica Krug.
00:29:53.940
It's a story that throws a great many leftist narratives into chaos all at once.
00:30:00.640
So Jessica Krug is a professor of African and Latin American studies.
00:30:06.420
She's written and spoken over the years about her black identity.
00:30:09.220
She wrote a book called Fugitive Modernities, which I'm pleased to inform you is available in hardcover on Amazon for only $84.
00:30:16.920
In her bio, apparently, she describes herself as an unrepentant and unreformed child of the hood.
00:30:24.600
The only problem is that the hood was a suburb in Missouri, it turns out.
00:30:28.100
And when she called herself African and black all those years, what she really meant to say is that she's white and Jewish.
00:30:33.220
Krug published a lengthy confession on Medium yesterday titled The Truth and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies.
00:30:42.360
To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas
00:30:51.120
under various assumed identities within blackness that I had no right to claim.
00:30:55.920
First, North African blackness, then U.S.-rooted blackness, then Caribbean-rooted Bronx blackness.
00:31:03.620
I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so,
00:31:08.340
when doing so is the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation,
00:31:12.320
of the myriad ways in which non-black people continue to use and abuse black identities and cultures,
00:31:17.280
but I have formed intimate relationships with loving, compassionate people who have trusted and cared for me
00:31:25.000
People have fought together with me and have fought for me,
00:31:27.500
and my continued appropriation of a black Caribbean identity is not only in the starkest terms wrong,
00:31:36.040
but it means that every step I've taken has gaslighted those whom I love.
00:31:42.260
Okay, so you see how she tries subtly to get the rest of white people to share the blame with her?
00:31:50.220
She says that what she's done is the epitome of the myriad ways in which non-black people use black identities.
00:31:55.560
Please, first of all, speak for yourself there, Jessica.
00:32:00.300
It reminds me of the men who are caught up in the Me Too net, you know, the actual guilty ones anyway,
00:32:04.360
all three or four of them, and how they would always try to spread the blame around, you know,
00:32:10.220
and say things like, well, I'm realizing now that there's a problem with how men treat women.
00:32:15.320
No, Chief, there's a problem with how you treat them.
00:32:18.300
Inviting a woman up for a meeting in your hotel room and coming to the door naked except for an open bathrobe,
00:32:26.800
Most of us have never done that or even considered doing it,
00:32:34.420
A lot of her statement, she talks a lot about what white people do and whiteness this and white.
00:32:43.560
No white person, no non-black person, has the right to claim proximity to or belonging in a black community
00:32:49.940
by virtue of abuse, trauma, non-acceptance, and non-belonging in a white community.
00:32:54.240
The abuse within and alienation from my birth family and society are no one's burden but my own,
00:33:00.440
Black people and black communities have no obligation to harbor the refuse of non-black society.
00:33:07.040
I know it is wrong, and I have done this anyway.
00:33:09.280
Anyway, you read this, and you do feel sorry for her while reading it
00:33:14.820
because this is a woman driven completely mad by left-wing identity politics.
00:33:23.580
And obviously, though she tries to spread the blame around unfairly,
00:33:29.260
it is true that she's not the first white person to pretend to be black.
00:33:32.560
Rachel Dolezal is the obvious other example, Sean King.
00:33:35.220
And then related examples, too, like Elizabeth Warren pretending to be Native American.
00:33:40.220
Then also, according to the left anyway, there's a far more wide-ranging problem.
00:33:46.760
There's the ever-present threat of cultural appropriation, right?
00:33:50.680
And this threat is why centuries must stand around the gates of blackness
00:33:55.560
to prevent the enemy called whiteness from infiltrating under the cover of night
00:33:58.900
and stealing, you know, a hairstyle or whatever.
00:34:02.000
If a woman is caught, if a white woman is caught in dreadlocks,
00:34:04.900
the trumpet is sounded, she's stolen the hairstyle!
00:34:09.820
As if when a white person steals a hairstyle, it means that a non-white person is going to wake up
00:34:13.500
in the morning bald, wondering who took their hairstyle.
00:34:15.860
Which doesn't make sense, but regardless, cultural appropriation, we're told, is a serious problem.
00:34:24.780
If all of the privilege in America belongs to white people,
00:34:34.480
then why are so many of them trying to assume the identity of the oppressed?
00:34:39.180
Can you think of any historical precedent for this?
00:34:41.360
Can you think of any example in history of a member of an oppressed group,
00:34:45.860
of an oppressor group pretending for years to be in the oppressed group?
00:34:50.620
Can you think of an example where the oppressed group is also at the same time
00:34:54.200
so admired and sought after that one of their biggest problems
00:34:57.020
is how the oppressors want so badly to adopt their styles and customs?
00:35:01.160
This is not at all what you would expect in a systemically racist country
00:35:04.660
where whites are the beneficiaries of inherent privilege.
00:35:06.760
It's almost like America is not systemically racist
00:35:19.200
Now, there's another problem for the left here,
00:35:25.780
Why can't Krug or Dolezal or anyone else identify as black?
00:35:52.500
but the identity itself, our demographical makeup,
00:36:06.800
male DNA, male bone structure, male everything else,
00:36:10.940
some sort of vague, undefinable feeling of woman-ness,
00:36:16.020
So what if he finds a vague, undefinable feeling of blackness?
00:36:25.060
well, how would he know that he feels as black people feel?
00:36:29.800
To say he knows it because he feels it is begging the question.
00:36:34.820
He's not black, and so his feeling of being black
00:36:40.780
But then I point you back to the man-woman situation.
00:36:45.360
Or you could answer that our race is not a changeable part of us.
00:36:50.140
Again, true, but again, I point you back to the man-woman dichotomy.
00:36:53.680
You might say that it's offensive for a white man to call himself black,
00:36:57.380
that he's making a caricature of that identity,
00:36:59.720
that he's claiming something that doesn't belong to him.
00:37:07.840
See, there just is no valid argument, none at all,
00:37:11.300
for denying a white person's right to be black,
00:37:21.660
if any one of those things can be called fluid or on a spectrum,
00:37:27.180
Certainly, race can make a much more plausible claim to fluidity than sex.
00:37:34.560
A white man and a black woman make a mixed-race child.
00:37:37.100
A man and woman, though, don't make a mixed-gender child.
00:37:51.640
I appreciate her service in exposing these narratives.
00:38:05.980
and passing along the message to everybody else.
