To be woke is to care about the sufferings of others, and to act upon them. To be a woke person is to believe that your lived experience is more important than the facts on the ground, and that your feelings about your experiences outweigh the facts in your mind.

00:00:00.000 Black history and other things, banning books, has been weaponized for political purposes to drive people to the polls based on outrage.
00:00:12.340 Well, we've lost Joy Reid for now and all the content she brings, but fortunately we still have The View.
00:00:17.420 So we still have them, and here they are yesterday claiming that it is unchristian to criticize wokeness. Listen.
00:00:24.300 I thought about the conversations you and I have had, Whoopi, so many times about the co-opting of the word woke and the fact that the right somehow has made it a dirty word.
00:00:37.300 To be woke is a word that came out of the African-American community, and it was about acknowledging social justice inequities, acknowledging people's suffering.
00:00:50.920 It is not a bad thing to care about other people, to care about the sufferings of others, and to act upon it.
00:00:59.680 And so Whoopi will often tell me, well, I've never been asleep. And that's how I feel.
00:01:04.000 My parents, you know, they grew up in the civil rights movement. I grew up in the late 60s, 70s.
00:01:10.220 I was always a part of it, and so I've never been asleep.
00:01:14.120 And so it angers me when people are like, this woke stuff has got to go.
00:01:19.220 That's telling me that you don't care about my lived experience, you don't care about the oppression of the LGBTQ community, you don't care about the oppression of the disabled, you don't care about the oppression of immigrants, you don't care about your fellow neighbor.
00:01:33.880 And that is ungodly. That is not Christian. 1.00
00:01:36.820 Well, that's true. I don't care about the oppression of LGBT people or disabled people or minorities in this country because it's not happening.
00:01:44.600 So it's hard to care about something that isn't actually occurring.
00:01:48.240 You know, it's hard for me to care about a thing that is fictional unless it's, you know, in a movie or something.
00:01:55.140 You know, the word oppression has a meaning, and the meaning of oppression is that this is cruel or unjust treatment being inflicted on a person or a group by somebody in power.
00:02:07.320 It's an unjust, cruel use of power against a person or group.
00:02:14.080 That's what oppression is.
00:02:15.400 So in what way are LGBT people or black people or even disabled people, since they got wrapped into this somehow, in what way are they being unjustly and cruelly treated and abused by people in power?
00:02:29.320 And I know when you say that, people on the left are like, what do you mean?
00:02:31.700 There are a million ways.
00:02:32.680 It's the easiest question.
00:02:33.660 Okay, well, go ahead.
00:02:34.860 Easy question, right?
00:02:35.760 Give me one example.
00:02:38.840 Just one clear example.
00:02:41.720 You can't do it.
00:02:42.400 So that's our problem with wokeness. 0.99
00:02:45.700 One of the problems, anyway, as a woke person, you expect us to have sympathy for the entirely invented plight of people who are not only not being persecuted, but are often the recipients of unfairly advantageous treatment.
00:02:58.240 And that's because in your woke mind, oppression and persecution are not words with any objective meaning.
00:03:06.060 These are not things that actually happen.
00:03:09.520 Or at least it doesn't matter if they happen or not.
00:03:11.760 What matters is that you feel like they're happening.
00:03:13.600 So to be woke is to believe that your lived experience, a phrase that only a woke person would ever be vapid enough to actually say out loud, your lived experience, quote unquote, which is to say your own personal perception, your feelings about your experiences, more than the experiences themselves, outweigh the facts on the ground.
00:03:33.360 And that, by the way, so many people, I mean, I've always complained about this phrase lived experience because it's, it appears to be, you know, redundant.
00:03:44.620 I mean, of course it's, if you had an experience, of course you lived it.
00:03:48.640 You can't have an unlived experience, can you?
00:03:52.760 And it is redundant when taken literally, but you can't take anything that woke people say literally because, again, nothing has any objective literal meaning in their minds.
00:04:00.600 So what they actually mean when they say lived experience, what they mean is felt experience.
00:04:05.500 To live and to feel to them are the same thing.
00:04:08.880 These are words that are interchangeable.
00:04:11.380 And so what they're saying is felt experience.
00:04:14.620 And they do, there is a distinction between your felt experience and an actual experience.
00:04:20.780 Like there's what's actually happening and then there's how you feel about what's happening.
00:04:26.500 And so when they say, well, my lived experience is that I've been oppressed.
00:04:30.620 What they mean is I feel like it, my experience is that I feel like I'm being oppressed.
00:04:37.600 And then when a rational person responds and says, well, yeah, but you weren't actually oppressed.
00:04:41.560 Like that didn't happen.
00:04:42.640 Well, but I feel like it did.
00:04:44.620 So I feel like it did.
00:04:45.920 So then it basically did.
00:04:49.320 That's what it means to be woke.
00:04:50.600 And so, yes, our lack of compassion and concern and empathy is for that, your feeling.
00:05:04.660 Like we don't, if you feel a certain way and the way you feel totally contradicts the reality on the ground,
00:05:13.740 then, yeah, we don't care about your feeling.
00:05:16.900 There's not, we can't do anything about that.
00:05:18.420 That is your problem.
00:05:20.420 I mean, that's like the very definition of a you thing.
00:05:22.780 There's nothing we can do about that.
00:05:23.940 And so that's how you, that's the difference.
00:05:30.900 The system isn't broken.
00:05:32.460 It's rigged.
00:05:33.240 Banks get rich while you stay buried in debt.
00:05:35.880 And that's not an accident.
00:05:36.780 That's the plan.
00:05:37.620 PDS debt has helped hundreds of thousands of people flip the script on credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, and all those high interest traps.
00:05:45.020 They know how to beat these companies at their own game, your money, your future.
00:05:49.560 It's time to take it back with PDS debt.
00:05:51.800 PDS debt doesn't just crunch numbers and call it a day.
00:05:54.800 They actually take the time to understand your specific situation and build a plan that works for you, not just some cookie cutter approach.
00:06:00.400 And here's the best part.
00:06:01.720 They don't care what your credit score looks like, whether it's pristine or completely shot.
00:06:06.040 They're focused on one thing, helping you save more money, crush your debt faster, and finally start keeping more of what you earn instead of handing it over to creditors every month.
00:06:15.480 They've built their reputation by actually delivering results, which is why they have an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau, thousands of five-star Google reviews, and a perfect score on Trustpilot.
00:06:24.840 When you're drowning in debt, you need someone in your corner who knows how to fight back, and that's exactly what PDS debt does for their clients every single day.

00:06:42.860 The View invited singers.
00:06:45.320 I don't have to play it, but I'm going to.
00:06:47.200 The View invited singers Natasha Bedingfield and M-I-L-C-K.
00:06:53.080 Is that Milk?
00:06:55.080 Pronounce Milk.
00:06:55.980 Anyway, so these two women to come perform an anti-gun song called Your Child, My Child. 1.00
00:07:01.840 And I know you're thinking, musical performance at The View, it must already be terrible.
00:07:08.040 It's an anti-gun song.
00:07:09.340 It must be even worse.
00:07:10.160 And I'm here to tell you that it's a lot worse than you even expect.
00:07:15.680 Let's listen to some of this.
00:07:17.120 I know that things will change when enough of us will say
00:07:23.520 Enough, enough, enough, enough.
00:07:35.120 Enough, enough, enough.
00:07:44.040 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:47.340 When enough of us show up
00:07:50.760 When enough of us cry out
00:07:53.780 When enough of us say no
00:07:56.680 When enough of us say no
00:07:59.720 When more of us get now
00:08:02.780 Enough.
00:08:05.860 They have a point.
00:08:06.980 Enough.
00:08:07.620 That's enough of that.
00:08:09.960 So that is their point.
00:08:12.420 I don't know if you picked up on it, but enough.
00:08:14.780 They're saying enough.
00:08:15.780 Enough.
00:08:16.580 Just enough, all right?
00:08:18.480 The only thing we're missing from that song
00:08:19.920 Is more dramatic hand-waving and head-bobbing.
00:08:22.520 I think there was not enough of that.
00:08:24.640 We needed more of that.
00:08:25.840 A little bit more.
00:08:27.620 But what I love about this
00:08:28.780 Is that first of all
00:08:29.460 It's yet more evidence that the left
00:08:31.100 Doesn't know how to get their point across
00:08:33.400 Through art anymore.
00:08:36.020 And this is actually a great development
00:08:37.520 For the culture.
00:08:38.960 If not for our eardrums.
00:08:41.360 Because everything now
00:08:42.880 It's a great development
00:08:43.800 Because, you know, it's
00:08:45.700 The more effective they are
00:08:47.780 Getting their ideas across
00:08:48.540 The worse it is.
00:08:51.040 So the trade-off is that we have
00:08:52.260 A lot of really bad, terrible art
00:08:53.540 But the only plus side
00:08:55.860 Is that
00:08:56.240 They're not nearly as effective
00:08:58.580 At conveying their ideas
00:09:00.780 And getting people to accept them
00:09:01.840 Because everything now
00:09:02.960 Is too on the nose
00:09:03.960 Too melodramatic
00:09:05.500 Too overly political
00:09:07.260 Overtly political, I should say
00:09:09.240 And they used to be much more subtle
00:09:11.800 You know, they used to
00:09:13.780 Embed their messaging into art
00:09:16.160 That on the surface
00:09:17.560 Seemed to have nothing to do
00:09:20.060 With politics
00:09:20.980 And that was always
00:09:22.400 The most effective approach
00:09:23.380 But they don't do that anymore
00:09:24.660 And I think there are
00:09:26.500 A lot of reasons for that
00:09:27.620 They're just
00:09:27.940 They're far too ideological
00:09:29.700 At this point
00:09:30.360 There's a real skill problem
00:09:33.400 As well
00:09:33.920 They don't
00:09:34.220 They don't have the same
00:09:37.400 Level of talent anymore
00:09:38.460 And the second thing
00:09:40.320 I like about this
00:09:40.740 This is a really great summation
00:09:42.160 It's a great representation
00:09:42.900 Of the gun control movement
00:09:44.440 Because this is actually
00:09:46.420 All they have to say
00:09:47.480 Enough, enough
00:09:49.260 Someone do something
00:09:50.560 And
00:09:52.340 They say that
00:09:54.400 You know
00:09:55.240 In the song
00:09:57.000 They say that
00:09:57.320 When enough of us cry out
00:09:58.580 Then the gun violence will stop
00:10:00.320 And I know you might think
00:10:01.440 That, well, it's just a song
00:10:02.420 They don't mean that literally
00:10:03.340 But that is literally
00:10:04.760 The anti-gun point of view
00:10:06.160 They think that
00:10:06.680 If we can reach a point
00:10:07.940 Where people get sick
00:10:09.520 Of gun violence
00:10:10.240 And we pass some kind of
00:10:11.240 Magical law
00:10:11.860 And it stops
00:10:12.560 But that, of course
00:10:14.300 Is not the case
00:10:14.980 Gun violence
00:10:16.540 Committed by
00:10:17.320 Bad, violent people
00:10:18.600 With ill intent
00:10:20.660 Will always be a problem
00:10:22.900 You can't make it go away
00:10:24.160 You can't make it disappear
00:10:26.080 Especially not with laws
00:10:27.960 And the reason
00:10:29.280 That we know that
00:10:29.900 Is because
00:10:30.320 The world has
00:10:31.080 Always been a very violent place
00:10:33.320 And it was a very violent place
00:10:34.500 Probably in many ways
00:10:36.400 More violent
00:10:36.940 Before guns even existed
00:10:38.940 So this is human nature
00:10:41.160 Unfortunately
00:10:41.700 It's the way of the world
00:10:43.860 Now does that mean
00:10:45.280 That we can't do anything about it?
00:10:46.460 Does it mean we should
00:10:46.920 Accept it and surrender ourselves
00:10:48.560 To it?
00:10:50.020 Absolutely not
00:10:50.740 What it means is that
00:10:52.820 We must emphasize
00:10:54.800 Two things in society
00:10:56.160 And one is justice
00:10:57.300 Punishing the bad guys
00:10:59.540 Punishing harshly and swiftly
00:11:01.560 And two is self-defense
00:11:03.040 Which requires guns
00:11:04.760 Whether you like it or not
00:11:06.180 During Monday's episode
00:11:07.500 Of ABC's The View
00:11:08.520 The co-host conversation
00:11:09.680 About Martin Luther King Jr. Day
00:11:11.380 Led to sparring
00:11:12.740 Over how learning about slavery
00:11:14.280 And other human rights abuses
00:11:15.520 In American history
00:11:16.300 Should make white students feel 0.66
00:11:18.400 While Anna Navarro argued
00:11:19.860 That nobody should feel bad
00:11:20.980 While being taught about the past
00:11:22.080 Simply because of the color of their skin 0.95
00:11:23.120 Sarah Haynes
00:11:24.660 Was adamant in her belief
00:11:26.340 That white children 1.00
00:11:27.040 Must feel responsibility
00:11:28.580 For the actions of their forefathers
00:11:30.760 Here's the clip
00:11:32.400 I think there's more to it than that
00:11:35.760 Look, I think what it is
00:11:37.280 Is that black history 0.93
00:11:40.040 And other things
00:11:41.160 Banning books
00:11:42.400 Has been weaponized
00:11:44.300 For political purposes
00:11:45.640 To drive people to the polls
00:11:47.660 Based on outrage
00:11:48.840 Because my poor little white kid
00:11:50.680 Is feeling bad
00:11:51.960 Because he's learning about slavery
00:11:53.480 That's ridiculous
00:11:54.540 Learning about history
00:11:56.180 Should not make anybody feel bad
00:11:57.820 We learn about history
00:11:59.020 Oh, it should make you feel bad
00:12:00.080 No
00:12:00.380 But it's important
00:12:01.320 That it makes you feel bad
00:12:02.480 I don't think it should make you feel bad
00:12:03.800 I mean, I don't think
00:12:04.520 A white child 0.98
00:12:05.440 That's had nothing to do with slavery
00:12:07.660 Should feel bad about slavery
00:12:08.800 I think we need to learn history
00:12:10.160 So that we don't repeat
00:12:11.040 The same mistakes
00:12:11.660 About history
00:12:12.840 The thing that people are
00:12:14.640 Focusing on in that clip
00:12:16.160 Is the conversation
00:12:17.000 About how white kids should feel 0.74
00:12:18.540 But even before you get there
00:12:20.340 You know, just
00:12:20.900 Even the phrase
00:12:22.660 Poor little white kid 0.90
00:12:23.940 Oh, you're poor little white kid 0.99
00:12:25.740 This is once again
00:12:27.700 This total contempt
00:12:32.100 And scorn
00:12:33.220 Being heaped on white people 0.79
00:12:35.480 Without, you know
00:12:37.320 Without
00:12:37.540 Without hiding it
00:12:39.660 Without covering it
00:12:40.480 Without feeling the need
00:12:42.420 To hide it at all
00:12:45.100 And
00:12:46.040 All you have to do
00:12:48.280 Is imagine
00:12:49.380 What it would sound like
00:12:50.200 For someone to say
00:12:50.820 Oh, you're poor little black kid 1.00
00:12:52.360 You're poor little black kid
00:12:54.260 Boo hoo 0.99
00:12:55.060 Like, you just
00:12:57.560 You can't imagine
00:12:58.620 Anyone
00:12:59.180 On television
00:13:01.800 Using that phrase
00:13:03.420 Like, in any context
00:13:04.560 You just can't imagine it
00:13:05.720 It would never happen
00:13:06.860 And yet there is
00:13:10.340 There's no compunction
00:13:13.640 There's no
00:13:14.760 Don't hesitate at all
00:13:16.960 To use this kind of language
00:13:18.760 I'm talking about
00:13:19.240 White people 0.90
00:13:19.620 And, you know
00:13:20.700 It
00:13:22.420 It can
00:13:24.000 It's not sustainable
00:13:25.040 I guess is the point
00:13:26.160 And people like me
00:13:28.260 Have been warning this
00:13:29.020 For a long time
00:13:29.700 And you can
00:13:30.460 You can reject the warnings
00:13:31.980 But it
00:13:33.440 Is just not sustainable
00:13:34.520 You cannot
00:13:36.740 Take
00:13:38.380 One
00:13:38.740 And I think
00:13:39.400 History has taught us this
00:13:40.760 History has taught us this
00:13:42.040 Again
00:13:43.140 And again
00:13:43.800 And again
00:13:44.300 It's maybe one of the
00:13:47.560 Primary lessons
00:13:48.240 That history teaches us
00:13:49.220 You
00:13:50.700 You cannot take
00:13:51.800 A group of people
00:13:52.700 And make them
00:13:54.880 The villains
00:13:55.480 Make them the bad guys
00:13:57.060 And just heap
00:13:59.160 Nothing but scorn
00:14:00.100 And contempt
00:14:00.620 On them all the time
00:14:01.560 And expect it
00:14:03.540 To just
00:14:04.160 Continue that way
00:14:05.540 Without any blowback
00:14:09.320 Without any pushback
00:14:10.240 And everything's going to be fine
00:14:10.900 You can't
00:14:11.600 You can't expect that
00:14:12.560 And
00:14:16.400 It's really as simple as that
00:14:19.280 Now
00:14:19.560 Obviously the stuff about
00:14:20.860 Slavery is completely
00:14:22.000 Ridiculous
00:14:22.760 Now if you mean
00:14:24.160 That kids should feel bad
00:14:25.740 In the same way that
00:14:27.220 You know
00:14:28.860 You feel sad
00:14:29.980 When you read about
00:14:30.620 Any bad thing
00:14:31.520 That happened in history
00:14:32.260 Like
00:14:33.020 If you read about
00:14:34.100 The Titanic sinking
00:14:35.260 Does that make you feel bad
00:14:37.060 I mean
00:14:37.340 It doesn't make you feel good
00:14:38.460 Right
00:14:39.120 It's a sad thing
00:14:40.280 So you have feelings
00:14:41.480 Of sadness
00:14:41.940 When you hear about
00:14:42.480 A tragedy that occurred
00:14:43.300 In history
00:14:43.780 But
00:14:45.180 Feel bad
00:14:47.720 Usually means
00:14:49.220 Feeling responsible
00:14:50.400 Feeling guilty
00:14:51.340 It's like when you've
00:14:52.320 Done something
00:14:52.880 You say
00:14:53.060 I feel bad about that
00:14:54.160 Which is why
00:14:55.560 Nobody would ever say
00:14:56.620 I feel bad about
00:14:57.540 The Titanic sinking
00:14:58.820 I feel really bad
00:15:00.280 About that
00:15:00.800 Jeez
00:15:01.880 Sorry about that
00:15:02.840 I feel bad
00:15:03.400 Because
00:15:04.180 It makes it sound
00:15:05.400 Like you're holding
00:15:05.800 Yourself responsible
00:15:06.520 For the sinking of the Titanic
00:15:07.620 Which of course makes no sense
00:15:08.620 It equally makes no sense
00:15:10.600 To say that about slavery
00:15:11.940 I feel bad about it
00:15:13.480 What do you mean
00:15:13.760 I feel bad
00:15:14.160 I didn't
00:15:14.500 Had nothing to do with it
00:15:15.760 So no
00:15:17.540 In that sense
00:15:18.080 Of course
00:15:18.500 White kids 0.99
00:15:19.200 Shouldn't feel bad
00:15:20.300 About slavery
00:15:20.860 In the sense of
00:15:21.900 Feeling guilty
00:15:22.540 And responsible
00:15:23.080 Which is the sense
00:15:23.780 That it was meant there
00:15:24.400 But of course
00:15:24.980 The whole premise
00:15:25.540 Of the conversation
00:15:26.180 Is totally false
00:15:27.040 And we keep
00:15:29.660 You know
00:15:30.780 It's one false premise
00:15:32.980 After another
00:15:33.560 From the left
00:15:34.080 This is maybe
00:15:35.680 The most
00:15:36.080 Among the most
00:15:37.380 Absurd
00:15:37.760 Of all of them
00:15:38.300 Is this
00:15:38.760 That there are
00:15:40.840 People out there
00:15:41.420 Who are objecting
00:15:42.660 To the
00:15:44.300 To slavery
00:15:46.480 Being mentioned
00:15:47.180 In a historical context
00:15:48.400 At all
00:15:48.760 Which is not happening
00:15:49.540 Nobody objects
00:15:50.560 To white kids 0.97
00:15:51.360 Or kids of any race
00:15:52.240 Learning about slavery
00:15:53.220 In history class
00:15:53.940 I've not heard
00:15:55.560 One single person
00:15:56.700 Ever say that
00:15:58.660 Which is really
00:15:59.220 Saying something
00:15:59.600 Because you can
00:16:00.340 Take any
00:16:00.800 Take any idea
00:16:02.600 Any like nutty
00:16:03.340 Crazy idea
00:16:04.160 These days especially
00:16:05.700 You can probably find
00:16:06.320 At least somebody
00:16:07.260 Who believes it
00:16:08.120 But in this case
00:16:10.120 I have not heard
00:16:10.960 This anywhere
00:16:11.360 I have not heard
00:16:11.840 One single person
00:16:12.800 Ever say
00:16:13.560 That we shouldn't
00:16:14.740 Be teaching about
00:16:15.320 Slavery in school
00:16:16.000 I've not heard
00:16:16.680 I've never heard that
00:16:17.740 The point about slavery 0.92
00:16:19.700 Aside from the one
00:16:20.380 That I've made many times
00:16:21.240 Which is that
00:16:21.680 A real study of slavery
00:16:22.720 Should be
00:16:23.220 Far more expansive
00:16:24.600 To include
00:16:25.320 You know
00:16:26.400 The fact that slavery
00:16:27.560 Was a global institution
00:16:28.540 For millennia
00:16:29.180 So if anything
00:16:30.080 My point about it
00:16:31.300 Is that
00:16:31.580 No we shouldn't be
00:16:33.080 Saying less about slavery
00:16:33.880 We should be
00:16:34.200 Saying more about it
00:16:34.980 Actually
00:16:35.380 I mean it is
00:16:36.680 One of the
00:16:37.160 One of the
00:16:38.400 One of the
00:16:41.180 Significant facts
00:16:42.000 Of the history
00:16:43.760 Of human civilization
00:16:44.420 Is that this institution
00:16:45.320 Existed for thousands
00:16:46.120 Of years
00:16:46.500 And
00:16:47.960 And
00:16:48.700 It's very interesting
00:16:50.040 To think about
00:16:50.560 Why that was the case
00:16:51.880 How did this come about
00:16:53.920 In the first place
00:16:54.840 How is it that
00:16:57.140 For thousands of years
00:16:58.140 Humanity
00:16:58.700 Took this for granted
00:16:59.940 And for thousands of years
00:17:02.380 Really
00:17:02.700 Almost nobody
00:17:04.220 Even thought to object
00:17:05.460 Like
00:17:06.480 Honestly
00:17:07.360 For thousands of years
00:17:08.320 It really didn't even
00:17:09.020 Occur to anyone
00:17:09.740 That there might be
00:17:10.620 A problem here
00:17:11.300 And that includes
00:17:14.000 Many
00:17:14.380 Many
00:17:14.980 Of the great geniuses
00:17:16.620 Of history
00:17:17.020 It didn't appear
00:17:18.260 To have a fundamental issue
00:17:19.940 With the institution
00:17:21.000 Of slavery
00:17:21.440 All across the world
00:17:22.280 That is
00:17:23.960 It's an interesting fact
00:17:25.720 You know
00:17:26.460 It's
00:17:26.740 It's also
00:17:27.640 A tragedy
00:17:28.200 It's terrible
00:17:28.600 But it's like
00:17:28.960 It's interesting
00:17:29.680 It's like
00:17:30.040 That's something
00:17:30.460 You can try to figure out
00:17:31.480 How is it
00:17:32.340 How could you have
00:17:32.860 This kind of
00:17:33.300 Global blind spot 0.74
00:17:35.500 That
00:17:37.100 So many people
00:17:38.140 Shared for thousands
00:17:38.700 Of years
00:17:38.960 So yeah
00:17:40.800 That should
00:17:41.880 That should be a subject
00:17:42.700 Of
00:17:43.140 Historical investigation
00:17:45.160 But it's not
00:17:46.580 Because
00:17:47.820 When we talk about slavery
00:17:48.600 We only talk about it
00:17:49.580 In the most
00:17:49.840 Limited way possible
00:17:51.040 Because we are not
00:17:52.980 Allowed to admit 0.98
00:17:53.760 That every other race 1.00
00:17:55.460 Of people
00:17:55.860 Are also
00:17:56.640 Guilty
00:17:57.200 For this institution
00:17:58.340 That existed
00:17:58.800 For thousands of years
00:17:59.480 But aside from all that
00:18:00.640 At a more fundamental level
00:18:02.740 The point about slavery 0.92
00:18:03.500 Is that
00:18:03.980 It is a historical subject
00:18:05.480 It is a matter of history
00:18:06.760 And it should be studied
00:18:08.180 And viewed that way
00:18:09.040 And so as far as
00:18:11.200 I'm concerned
00:18:11.600 As long as we're doing that
00:18:12.480 It's a historical subject
00:18:14.180 It's not something
00:18:14.920 At least in this country
00:18:16.060 That exists today
00:18:16.800 Or that people today
00:18:17.500 Are responsible for
00:18:18.180 At least in this country
00:18:19.000 If they keep qualifying
00:18:19.840 That way
00:18:20.120 Because it does exist
00:18:21.580 In other parts of the world
00:18:23.660 Especially in non-white 0.75
00:18:24.720 Parts of the world
00:18:25.220 And it was a much
00:18:30.840 More expansive phenomenon
00:18:32.200 Than what we're told
00:18:34.980 So those are my two points
00:18:36.500 About slavery
00:18:36.900 And that's the point
00:18:37.640 That most people make
00:18:38.380 If they have any objection
00:18:42.100 At all about the way
00:18:42.840 That it's taught
00:18:44.920 About slavery
00:18:47.860 I don't think it's
00:18:49.580 Lonely
00:18:49.920 To their first one
00:18:50.920 But what
00:18:51.740 Everything
00:18:51.880 Is enemies
00:18:53.260 To their second one
00:18:54.180 Yes
00:18:54.740 Maybe they should have
00:18:54.920 To their second one
00:18:55.780 On the other
00:18:56.900 They might be
00:18:58.520 For a second one
