The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 73 - The New York Times Just Published An Extraordinarily Racist Article

00:00:00.000 So the New York Times just published an extremely racist screed. And they, it starts with the tweet,

00:00:08.540 they, they published this article, they tweeted it out. The tweet that accompanied the article said,

00:00:14.700 New Hampshire is 94% white. It is now trying to figure out how to change that. And the article

00:00:22.200 itself is, is fantastically bigoted. So I want to just read you the first few paragraphs of this

00:00:28.120 article, just so you can fully comprehend the racism that we're dealing with here. So this is

00:00:33.920 what it says. Catalina Celentano used to hold training sessions for hospital workers in Lynn,

00:00:39.920 Massachusetts to familiarize them with the cultures of patients from Cambodia, Russia,

00:00:43.900 and the Dominican Republic. When she moved to New Hampshire, she suddenly found herself in an ethnic

00:00:50.000 vacuum. Now, maybe we should pause there for just a moment. An ethnic vacuum. So what?

00:00:58.020 She, she went to New Hampshire and she discovered that the people in New Hampshire have no ethnicities,

00:01:03.140 that there are, there are no ethnicities. It's a vacuum of ethnicity. So these are, these are human

00:01:09.000 beings who are walking around and living and they have zero. So where did they come from? Did they

00:01:13.500 sprout out of the ground? Did they fall from the sky? Like, uh, like dew drops? What happened? No,

00:01:19.120 no. Even white people have ethnicities to insinuate that white people have no ethnicity is just,

00:01:27.060 it's, it's not only insulting, but it's crazy. It's like when you hear, it's like when we hear,

00:01:32.540 well, there are people of color and white people. It's no, I, I have a color also. I mean,

00:01:38.720 it might be a lighter color, but I definitely have a color. I don't not, I'm not colorless for goodness

00:01:43.140 sake. I mean, if, if you came to earth from like an alien planet and you didn't know anything about the

00:01:48.480 human species and then you started hearing, well, there are people of color and then white people,

00:01:52.160 I would imagine. So what I would, what I would imagine are like normal creatures who have color.

00:01:58.900 And then I would imagine white people as being these translucent colorless monstrosities walking

00:02:05.360 around where you could see their bones through their skin because they have no color. Um, it just,

00:02:10.840 it doesn't make any sense, but that's one thing. At least that's kind of a figure of speech. I

00:02:15.080 understand, but to say it's an ethnic vacuum because it's all, it's, it's a bunch of Caucasians

00:02:21.000 living there. It's just, it would be like, if I moved to Mongolia and discovered to my horror,

00:02:27.240 that it's only a bunch of Mongolians living there. And I said, this is an ethnic vacuum.

00:02:32.920 There's no, there's, there are no ethnicities here. And someone said, well, there are,

00:02:37.000 there are Mongolians here. Well, yeah, but except for them, except for them in Mongolia,

00:02:41.360 there's nobody else. What's going on? Salentano, Mrs. Salentano said, uh, I went from being able

00:02:47.580 to speak Spanish every day to not speaking Spanish at all, because there wasn't anyone

00:02:51.560 to speak Spanish to. The only person I spoke Spanish with was a cleaning lady and she moved

00:02:56.920 back to Columbia. Okay. I don't really think you have a right to complain that people in an,

00:03:04.460 in a, in a state, in the United States of America only speak English. That is after all,

00:03:10.040 traditionally the language that we speak here. So once again, it would be like if I went to South

00:03:15.200 Korea and then complaining that everyone's speaking Korean here, what's going on? I mean,

00:03:21.240 back home, back, back home, I, I spoke English every day. And then I moved to, I moved to South

00:03:26.600 Korea and I haven't spoken English in days. What's happening. I don't understand what could have

00:03:32.820 possibly happened. What, what change occurred. I'm so confused. Whatever, whatever happened to the

00:03:40.340 whole, I, I guess we've completely done away with the idea of assimilation at this point, haven't we?

00:03:46.640 Of course we, we did away with that a long time ago, but now we don't even pretend, we don't even

00:03:50.980 pretend that assimilation is the goal. So that we're actually now writing articles, lamenting the fact

00:03:57.640 that a, a native Spanish speaker moved to New Hampshire and has to speak English.

00:04:03.420 God forbid she had to assimilate in one, in, in the most basic way of speaking the language that

00:04:12.200 people speak there. The article, now let's get to the really racist part here. It says New Hampshire,

00:04:18.740 like its neighbor, Vermont and Maine is nearly all white. Shame on them. Shame on them for being all

00:04:25.580 white. How dare you? This has posed an array of problems for new arrivals who often find themselves

00:04:31.340 isolated and alone without the comfort and support of a built-in community. It also posed problems for

00:04:36.580 employers in these States, um, where it could be a barrier to recruiting and retaining workers of

00:04:42.160 different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. The issue prompted about 100 business leaders,

00:04:47.700 government officials, and members of nonprofit organizations to meet Thursday to search for

00:04:51.120 ways that New Hampshire, which is 94% white might lure other racial and ethnic groups, which by the way,

00:04:57.640 is kind of just creepy to speak of luring racial groups. We've got to lure some racial groups in

00:05:03.560 here, you know, cast out the, the lure and reel them in now so that we can really conceptualize how

00:05:09.560 racist this is. Let's just imagine for a moment that we made it, we changed a couple of words

00:05:17.460 in those last three paragraphs, just change a couple of words around and let's go back and read it again.

00:05:26.260 And let's see if we can really see the racism this time. All right. So imagine if the article said this

00:05:33.000 instead, Detroit, like Atlanta and Birmingham is nearly all black. This has posed an array of problems for new

00:05:41.520 arrivals who often find themselves isolated and alone without the comfort and support of a built-in

00:05:47.100 community. It also posed problems for employers in these states, uh, where it could be a barrier

00:05:53.360 to recruiting and retaining workers of different ethnicities. The issue prompted about 100 business

00:05:59.700 leaders, government officials, and members of nonprofit organizations to meet Thursday to search

00:06:03.560 for ways that Detroit, which is 83% black might lure other racial and ethnic groups.

00:06:09.340 So change just a few words and suddenly it becomes extremely, extremely racist. All you have to do is

00:06:17.840 just swap out the race that's being discussed for a different race. And all of a sudden the racism just

00:06:24.800 jumps out at you. And it's actually, I should amend that. It's not that it becomes racist all of a sudden

00:06:31.900 when you change out, uh, uh, white for black. It's that now the racism is apparent to even the

00:06:39.320 most obtuse observer. It is obviously racist to treat the preponderance of a certain race in a certain

00:06:47.980 area as an objective problem. It is racist to look at the percentages of, of different, of, you know,

00:06:55.880 to, to, to look at a certain race and say, Oh, they have a majority percentage. Let's try to lower their

00:07:00.980 percentage just for the sake of it. Just because we want fewer of those types around here. That is the

00:07:07.260 definition of racism. It is racist to treat a certain race as if its existence in an area is a

00:07:15.440 problem. Now, the only way to alleviate the racism in this case, and this is what leftists will do,

00:07:24.940 especially leftists who have been, been recently miseducated in an academic institution, especially

00:07:29.800 in college, because this is what they teach you in college. What they teach in college now is that

00:07:37.260 racism by definition applies only to the racism of white people, but never to the racism against

00:07:45.760 white people. Now that is not the definition that you're going to find in the dictionary. If you look

00:07:50.280 up racism in the dictionary, you won't find that, but this is the definition of racism that was invented

00:07:56.240 by leftists in the last, you know, couple of decades and now taught as fact. It is a totally

00:08:02.340 arbitrary, random, made up definition for, they took a word that had a real meaning and then they just

00:08:09.940 made up a new definition and started teaching it in school and said, no, race, this is what racism

00:08:15.100 means now. And now you'll have leftists. Anytime you talk about racism, they'll come in and they'll

00:08:19.200 correct you and they'll say, well, no, actually racism is all about power dynamics and whatever group

00:08:24.000 is in power can't be victims of racism. Yeah. Who told you that? Where are you getting that from?

00:08:29.380 No, that's not what it means. That maybe is what your college professor told you,

00:08:33.220 but he made that up. That is not what the word means at all. If you hate a certain race,

00:08:40.180 or if you, if you're prejudiced against them, you're racist. It doesn't matter. Nothing else

00:08:46.040 matters. That's racism right there. And also just, by the way, if racism, if it's a non-white person

00:08:54.920 can never be guilty of racism on the basis that, well, they don't have power and, you know, and

00:09:01.080 anyway, their hatred of white people is justified. So it's not right. Well, before we talk about the,

00:09:06.680 you know, we won't, we won't even get to get into the fact that, um, if it's all about power dynamics,

00:09:10.620 then how did this definition still hold, even when we had a black president, but we won't even get into

00:09:15.540 that. What about the racism of non-white of a, of a non-white person towards other non-white groups?

00:09:25.640 So what if a black person hates, for instance, Asian people, is that also not racist? Or I guess

00:09:32.480 our nation's, uh, university professors will tell us that that doesn't exist. There's no racism there.

00:09:37.240 Racism was a, is an invention of white people and, uh, it, it, it doesn't exist anywhere else in the

00:09:45.400 world, apparently. Now, a couple other points I want to make here. First of all, let's talk about

00:09:51.440 diversity, organic diversity. That is diversity that happens naturally over time is fine. It's a fine

00:10:00.940 thing. I wouldn't even call it good. I'd say it's fine. It's like just sort of neutral. There's nothing

00:10:07.000 inherently problematic with a certain race being the majority in a certain area. So there's nothing

00:10:13.060 wrong with that. If you go to a town and it's just a bunch of white people, that's fine. It doesn't

00:10:18.400 matter. They're just people living their lives in a place where they want to live. Now, if they,

00:10:24.200 if they had a rule that they excluded other races or they, other people of other races and ethnicities

00:10:30.540 tried to move in and they were chased out of town, well, that's a problem. But, um, that's not the

00:10:35.300 case in like New Hampshire. If you go to New Hampshire and you go to a small town in New

00:10:38.600 Hampshire, you find a bunch of white people, they're not chasing anybody away. It's just,

00:10:41.640 they're living up in the mountains in New Hampshire. And that's just, nobody else has

00:10:46.420 thought to move there and live there. So it's not a problem. So we can't say, well, you know,

00:10:51.580 it's a, we could improve this area by adding diversity. You're not going to improve it. I'm not

00:10:55.420 going to say, I'm not saying you're gonna make it worse either. It's just, it does, it's just a,

00:10:59.020 it's a lateral move. So you had a bunch of people with a certain skin pigmentation and then you

00:11:04.360 brought in other people with, with darker pigmentation. Okay. Great. Fine. Okay. You

00:11:09.640 didn't improve it. It's just, there's still just people living there. That's all. But again, it's

00:11:15.880 fine. On the other hand, engineered diversity, the diversity that happens when social engineers

00:11:22.880 look at a place and say, there are too many of this kind of race. That is bad. Okay. That's a very

00:11:30.480 bad form of diversity. It's very bad. It's bad because it's racist and racism in the name of,

00:11:38.440 of diversity is very self-defeating. And it's also bad because of the arrogance involved. I mean,

00:11:45.260 think of the arrogance of the government officials who sat down in New Hampshire and said, there are

00:11:51.240 too many of, of this sort of person. We need to bring in a particular percentage of these other kinds

00:11:57.320 of people. That's what we need to do. Who are you to determine that? Who puts you in charge of

00:12:02.540 that? What do you mean? There are too many of that kind of person. What scale are you using? Who

00:12:08.380 appointed you arbiter of these things? What do you mean? Too many, too few based on what standard

00:12:15.840 and how is that any of your business or any of your concern? It's not, it's not your job to organize

00:12:22.360 the racial makeup of society. That's not what you're supposed to be doing. You really don't

00:12:28.120 need to have a very in-depth knowledge of history or world events to realize that it is always bad

00:12:36.880 news. Always bad news. When governments get into the business of racial engineering, that is never good.

00:12:44.400 Nothing good ever comes of that, ever. Second thing, this stuff, this nonsense, like what we're

00:12:52.220 talking about here with the New York Times and New Hampshire, this is partly where white supremacism

00:12:58.780 comes from, okay? Now, obviously, white supremacism is a bad thing, just like racial supremacism in any

00:13:07.500 race is a bad thing. But, so this is not obviously about justifying white supremacism. It's about

00:13:13.720 pointing out that white supremacism and white racism, which certainly does exist, is a social

00:13:22.500 phenomenon with various roots. And this is one of the roots. Now, the primary roots are bad home life,

00:13:30.600 bad parenting, lack of moral formation. I think anytime you have racist people, that's going to be a

00:13:36.640 a big part of it, maybe the primary part of it. But when you've got a white kid with that kind of

00:13:44.320 background, and he emerges into a world where his race is treated like it's something he should

00:13:50.860 apologize for, where his existence is seen as a problem, as a thing that has to be corrected,

00:13:57.940 and he's told that he doesn't even have an ethnic identity whatsoever. He is a vacuum of ethnicity.

00:14:05.400 You're trying to drain his identity from him. Then he's going to understand him like a little

00:14:09.680 bit ticked off about that, and maybe more ticked off than the average person, given the fact is that

00:14:13.880 he has a bad home life, no moral formation, so on and so forth. And then what happens there is that

00:14:19.820 the white supremacist can come in and exploit his bad upbringing and his grievances about how his identity

00:14:26.680 is treated in society, and they can pretty easily recruit him based on that. This is how it works.

00:14:35.360 This is how you make racists and bigots in any race. If you're interested in making more racists,

00:14:42.500 this is the way to do it. Great job, New York Times. I mean, this is exactly how you do it.

00:14:47.840 You make people into racists by trying to make them feel ashamed of their own race and their own identity

00:14:55.720 and their own history. If you go up to a crowd of people and you, whatever their race, and you say to

00:15:01.980 them, there are too many of you types. And by the way, these are all the bad things that you're guilty of.

00:15:08.060 So apologize for those things. If you go up to a group of people and you say that,

00:15:13.020 you have just helped to push a certain portion of those people into racism and bigotry. Now,

00:15:21.960 it will be their fault ultimately for succumbing to it, but you helped push them there. So you also

00:15:27.580 are partly to blame. A lot of young white men who are already lost and without identity are being

00:15:35.580 encouraged, you know, into extremism because of how their identity is treated by the media,

00:15:45.400 academia, and the government. That's just a fact of the matter. So what these institutions are doing,

00:15:52.400 media, academia, and government, they are very deliberately sowing racial discord. They are not

00:15:59.840 trying to help with assimilation. They're not trying to help bring people together. They're not even

00:16:04.820 trying to help with diversity. They are trying to sow resentment and anarchy and hatred between these

00:16:15.100 different groups of people. And when they succeed in doing what they are clearly trying to do,

00:16:22.340 can we really say that they bear none of the blame whatsoever? This is just, I know we're told that

00:16:28.200 we're not allowed to complain about because we're white. So if you're a white person, you can't complain

00:16:32.420 about this blatant, bigoted nonsense. But no, we can complain about it because it is blatant, bigoted

00:16:39.300 nonsense. And it's harmful. Now, you and I, as normal people, we may be able to read this kind of

00:16:45.740 stuff and we can laugh it off and say, oh, these idiots. But there are a lot of people who aren't as

00:16:51.820 normal and who are unstable. And they see this stuff and it's just driving them, whatever their race,

00:16:58.160 it's just driving them in different directions, further away from each other, further into hatred

00:17:02.840 and resentment. So thanks a lot, New York Times. Mission accomplished. Great job. All right,

00:17:09.380 that's going to do it for me, guys. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Godspeed.
