A year ago, I began filming my new movie, Am I Racist?
00:00:03.240
The goal of the movie was to go deep undercover into the world of DEI
00:00:08.760
There'll be some moments in the movie that just seem too crazy to be real,
00:00:11.620
but I assure you it's real, and it's been a real problem for quite a while, in fact.
00:00:18.620
I wanted to take you on a trip down memory lane
00:00:21.240
of some recent real-world examples of anti-white racism.
00:00:24.660
But before we do that, check out the trailer for Am I Racist?

Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.
00:00:40.600
It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.
00:00:47.720
I'm going to sort this out. I need to go deeper undercover.
00:00:58.080
What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.
00:01:05.320
I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.
00:01:19.020
What's a black person right here? Does he not exist?
00:01:25.420
I always had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.
00:01:36.120
The Montgomery County Public School District in Maryland spent more than $450,000 on an anti-racist
00:01:41.720
audit for the 2020 through 2021 school year, which resulted in the district tentatively adopting
00:01:47.240
policies that push anti-racist thinking in preschool.
00:01:51.740
So we're talking about like three and four-year-olds, okay?
00:01:54.500
According to a copy of the school district's tentative action policy obtained by the Daily
00:01:57.640
Wire, the district will now provide a culturally responsive pre-kindergarten to grade 12 curriculum
00:02:02.200
that promotes equity, respect, anti-racist thinking, and civility.
00:02:07.260
I'm wondering, when do we get to the how to riot part of the lesson?
00:02:13.980
The curriculum will also teach students that the impact of racism on mental health has been
00:02:20.300
The school district, which is one of the largest in the nation, announced in November that it
00:02:24.000
would partner with the Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium for $454,000 to conduct an anti-racist
00:02:30.420
The audit was designed to examine the district's systems, practices, and policies that do not
00:02:34.140
create access opportunities and equitable outcomes for every student's academic and
00:02:38.840
social-emotional well-being, starting in pre-k.
00:02:42.100
Now, you know what I'm going to say, because what I always say when we read a story like
00:02:44.740
this, which is the first thing is get your kids out of the public school system.
00:02:50.900
At least, at least get them out of the public school system at these very early ages.
00:02:57.420
Please, dear God, do not send your four-year-old to a public school system.
00:03:03.260
You homeschool them early on, send them to high school or something.
00:03:12.560
Because at that point, if your kid's 13 or 14, they've been raised, you've raised them
00:03:17.640
Maybe at that point, they'll have the fortitude and the formation to withstand the brainwashing
00:03:25.140
But the point is, at four years old, forget about it.
00:03:31.500
A four-year-old is going to believe whatever they are told.
00:03:38.040
You tell them that you rode to work this morning on a unicorn, they'll totally believe it.
00:03:42.760
That won't even occur to them as an odd thing to say.
00:03:46.600
Because talk about reality, they have no concept of reality.
00:03:48.800
So when you send, much more than this is the case with the older kids, with younger kids,
00:03:56.240
when you send your younger kid to school, that is an act of profound trust.
00:04:04.900
You are putting so much trust in the people that will be in charge of your child at that
00:04:11.220
school, because the influence and power they're going to have over your child, it's difficult
00:04:23.300
And if they decide that they want to brainwash your kid at the age of four into this anti-racist
00:04:30.580
nonsense, into critical race theory, that's it.
00:04:37.020
If they're being exposed to that for hours a day at that age.
00:04:51.780

00:05:47.580
Ibram Kendi has a new book out and the new book is called How to Raise an Anti-Racist.
00:05:58.820
And now he's got How to Raise an Anti-Racist and all of these books, you find them all
00:06:02.840
over Barnes and Noble and all these media interviews and everything.
00:06:08.840
But he was on MSNBC talking about the book and he said a few things that I actually think
00:06:17.440
Well, I wrote the book because the more that I that I researched this issue about race
00:06:27.680
and children, the more that I continued on as a father, the more I realized that kids
00:06:33.960
are actually the most vulnerable to racism, but they're the ones who were least likely to
00:06:41.960
And so I wanted to write a book that would allow parents and teachers and caregivers to
00:06:46.760
figure out ways to protect our children from these simplistic messages like dark is ugly
00:06:51.880
and light, you know, is good so they can grow up to be whole people who recognize racial equality.
00:07:00.000
And your message is that parents should understand that children are already forming opinions at
00:07:05.960
a very early age, some research says as early as three or four years old.
00:07:14.700
But according to scholars, by three years old, our kids have an adult like concept of race.
00:07:21.960
By three years old, our kids are attaching qualities like smartness and honesty and cleanliness to
00:07:30.960
And all the while, parents are thinking and teachers that our kids aren't thinking about
00:07:38.360
And so we're not stepping in to counteract those messages and we need to.
00:07:42.760
OK, he says we've got to counteract the message that kids are getting.
00:07:56.560
Give me like one modern example of that message being promoted anywhere, at least of all to
00:08:07.200
I mean, they're certainly not getting it in media, in Hollywood.
00:08:10.100
They're getting like almost the opposite, actually, of that message.
00:08:16.500
Yeah, so I bravely am speaking out against the message that dark skin is ugly.
00:08:23.220
Well, it's always really brave to speak out against an idea that nobody is proposing in
00:08:30.000
But more to the point, he says that kids are the most vulnerable to racism.
00:08:40.760
In fact, kids, it doesn't actually occur to kids to be racist.
00:08:48.220
Well, I know that because I've been around kids.
00:08:50.840
I have kids, like I'm familiar with the concept of childhood.
00:08:57.140
So there's a lot of just sort of experience, including lived experience, that tells us this.
00:09:04.600
I also know because I grew up in the 90s when there was not this obsession over race.
00:09:10.500
It wasn't a racial utopia, but there was not the same obsession.
00:09:14.440
And I've mentioned before, I can remember going to grade school in a very racially diverse area.
00:09:24.520
And all people, lots of black classmates, Asian, so on and so forth.
00:09:30.040
And yes, as a kid, you notice the physical differences, of course.
00:09:35.060
You notice it, but you don't attach a lot of significance to it.
00:09:38.140
You might have some dumb, like childlike sort of innocent questions about how exactly does it happen that people look different or end up with different color skin and all that kind of stuff.
00:09:49.200
In fact, those aren't really dumb questions at all, actually.
00:09:52.620
And kids might be prone to saying things that are kind of awkward because they don't know any better.
00:10:00.320
But they don't attach, kids actually do not attach significance to these things.
00:10:08.060
And just take your kid to a playground anywhere and just see how they're playing with kids.
00:10:15.780
You're not going to see kids on a playground stop another kid and say, oh, no, you have a different skin color.
00:10:22.620
So if you were to just leave kids alone, most kids are already living in a very diverse environment.
00:10:32.940
So if you were to just let them be kids, leave them alone, kind of leave them to their own devices on this particular issue, it's not going to be an issue.
00:10:46.100
Kendi who have to come around and tell the kids that there's a significance here.
00:10:58.540
He and all the so-called anti-racist people, they're the ones telling kids that, oh, no, you know what?
00:11:06.280
And the fact that you look different is very significant.
00:11:09.380
And here are all the reasons why it's significant.
00:11:11.360
And not only that, but the other thing they say to the kids is, well, you see these kids over here, these are the white kids.
00:11:18.420
And their ancestors are all racist and they're oppressive.
00:11:21.400
And you over here, you're the black kids and you're being systemically oppressed.
00:11:26.960
In fact, you're being oppressed by these kids over here and you might not even know it.
00:11:30.660
And they don't know that they're oppressing you, but they are.
00:11:33.380
And here are all the privileges that these kids, these white kids are getting that you're not getting.
00:11:37.500
And it may seem like you get the same privileges and you're living basically the same kind of life, but you're not.
00:11:41.540
No, they get all these privileges and you don't get them.
00:11:43.560
So people like Ibram Kendi, they're the ones doing that.
00:11:46.340
Under the guise of anti-racism, of curing kids of racism that they don't even actually have in the first place, they are creating it.
00:11:54.460
And, of course, they're doing it entirely on purpose.
