12: White Guilt cover

About this episode

The 2020 election cycle faces a new psychological landscape as white guilt and the delegitimization of white supremacy become central political drivers. Author Shelby Steele and the hosts analyze how the collapse of inherent moral authority in whiteness has created a vacuum, forcing individuals to navigate a world where being labeled a racist carries the same social stigma as post-war German identity. This shift is examined through the lens of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the strategic use of television to dramatize the movement for a national audience.

Neely Fuller Jr. and General Wesley Clark provide the framework for understanding a global system of supremacy that operates through nine areas of human activity, including economics and law. The discussion details the mechanics of the economic hitman process described by John Perkins, where the World Bank and Western corporations use debt traps to control developing nations. Specific attention is paid to the Seven Countries Memo, the $20 trillion failure of the Great Society programs under Lyndon B. Johnson, and the rise of the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) movement as a challenge to traditional civil rights grifters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

From the monetization of atonement via the Safety Pin Box subscription service to the bizarre world of Mistress Velvet’s BDSM racial domination sessions, the episode exposes the commodification of social justice. The hosts critique Michael Eric Dyson’s academic metaphors and the indoctrination of youth through viral poetry, ultimately identifying the global ruling class as the common enemy. Guest perspectives from Shelby Steele and archival clips of Dr. Phil round out this deep dive into the virtue signaling economy.


CHAPTER 01 / 31 Discussion

White Privilege, White Guilt, and the 2020 Election

The hosts introduce the "trifecta" of white privilege, white guilt, and white supremacy as the primary subject of the episode. They reference a New York Times article regarding the effects of white guilt on the 2020 election. A brief recap of the previous week's discussion on the NBA and China mentions LeBron James's comments following the show's recording.

00:05 Mo Facts with Adam Curry for October 21st, 2019. This is episode number 12. And this morning something strange happened. At 7.31am I got a text message. from my partner in crime who said, hey man, let's talk about the title today, what we're gonna be doing. Good morning Moe, how are ya? How you doing sir, I'm doing well. Yeah, so I really appreciate your call. You said, okay man, we're going for the motherlode, this is the big one, just wanna let you know, don't want you to be blindsided now. So we're going for the big one here. Yes, the big one is? Is, oh...

00:47 white privilege. Nice! White guilt and white supremacy. Oh, it's the trifecta. Very nice. Yes. You can't discuss one without the other. That's right. That's right. This is something that I've been very interested in. I've posited my own theories about not so much about the origin of white guilt but what white guilt has done to wokeness or perhaps I would say created wokeness. And it's very interesting to me, and I am excited to hear what you're going to roll out for us. So this start, we got a lot of clips today, so I want to jump right in. So this started with a DM you sent me from a New York Times article. It was talking about the effects of white guilt on the 2020 election.

01:39 I was gonna do this last week, but the NBA in China... It was, it had to get, we had to get it on then. And by the way, we finished that show just before LeBron James came out with his whole like, well, you know, it could have hurt someone financially. So that was, we didn't get it in that show, but it was interesting how it unfolded. It was very interesting how it unfolded. And one thing I did notice that came up was Shut up and dribble, white supremacy or any other him kowtowing to the powers that be. No, exactly. So that goes to show you people pick and choose when they want to use these terms. So what we're going to talk about today is white guilt. And to talk about white guilt, we have to go back. We always have to go back to the root.

CHAPTER 02 / 31 Discussion

Shelby Steele, The Delegitimization of White Supremacy

Author and Stanford University fellow Shelby Steele provides the historical backdrop for the discussion, arguing that the delegitimization of white supremacy was a seminal event of the late 20th century. Steele defines white supremacy not just as a belief in racial hierarchy, but as a system where whiteness constituted inherent moral authority and power. He posits that this system organized the globe through colonialism before its eventual collapse.

02:33 these things. So I found it on the root of white guilt is white supremacy for the people that don't know. I found it interesting it was a what do you want to call it a speaking engagement by Mr. Shelby Steele. Are you familiar with Mr. Shelby Steele sir? No I don't think so. Alright, so Shelby still he's a he's a conservative. I have to say that he's an author and a senior fellow at Stanford University And he wrote the book on white guilt the actual book. Oh my guilt. What was it? What is the book called white guilt? Yes, okay. All right So he was given a speech and now this is the speech that he gave or speaking in gaming speaking engagement that he gave is going to be the backdrop of

03:30 Of this whole show so we're gonna go in and out of that speaking engagement and then have supplemental clips Okay, so what he said what he's saying the type of the book is white guilt how blacks and whites together Destroyed the promise of the civil era. Yes. Mm-hmm. Okay. Got it So, I guess we'll jump right in with white supremacy one. It begins, it seems to me, in a phenomenon that I think, at any rate, is one of the most important events, certainly in late 20th century history. I think even more important than the collapse of communism that happened in the 80s.

04:17 And that is the collapse or the delegitimization, to use the long awkward word, of white supremacy. And it's interesting to me that this phenomenon has gone unremarked, uncommented on in many ways. But white supremacy was an enormously important force idea in the world for centuries and organized the entire globe and Extended the nation-state system from one end of the world to the other so it's it's mark will will never leave the world And it gave a coherence to the world All right, I love it history lesson

CHAPTER 03 / 31 Discussion

Defining the Relationship Between Privilege and Guilt

The discussion outlines the functional link between white supremacy, privilege, and guilt, suggesting that those perceived as white receive systemic advantages which in turn produce feelings of guilt. One host recounts a "triggering" personal anecdote involving a University of Texas professor who accused him of having white privilege. The conversation contrasts the legal handling of the 1980s crack epidemic with the modern opioid crisis to illustrate systemic racial disparities.

white privilege· white guilt· systemic racism· opioid epidemic· crack epidemic· university of texas

05:06 Yes, so he's speaking about how white supremacy supposedly, and he's a believer, let me clarify, he's a believer that white supremacy ended or basically went underground and had no power after the civil rights movement. Which my personal belief, I don't think that's to be so. I am not a white supremacy denier, but I want to in this show clearly define What I believe is to be white supremacy and the reason why that is important to white guilt is, let me explain the relation between the three things that we laid out. We have white supremacy, white privilege, and then white guilt. The way they are related is that if there is a system of white supremacy that exists, if you appear to be quote unquote white, then you

06:03 unknowingly or knowingly receive privileges from being akin to that system. Right. And also from being akin to that system and receiving those privileges, some people are made to feel guilty of that. So that's the relation between the three. And that sounds about right. And it was For me it was, hmm, I'm gonna say about four years ago my now wife then, girlfriend at the time, Tina, we had a dinner here in Austin with some people I affectionately called the Obama bots and they knew that and you know we discussed pretty much politics and everything like that specifically so I would have content for the No Agenda Show podcast.

06:51 So it was okay with them, but at this one particular dinner there was a professor from UT Austin Pennebaker I'm a actually a big fan of what he's done with Performatives he wrote a book about Well, you should look it up performatives then Professor Pennebaker and his wife were both there and at a certain point He said excuse me. You've got white privilege. You know that right and no one had ever said that to me I'd never really even heard the term And I was offended by him saying that. Now, since that time, of course, a lot has happened. I've kept my eyes and my ears open. But I do remember the initial accusation to me was triggering. That's just a little bit of history what I have. And I can see why that would be triggering. The term white privilege, it didn't really circulate in the black community.

07:49 that term. Now the understanding that... According to Wikipedia, it didn't really start until Black Lives Matter. Now that's Wikipedia, so take that with what you want. But I look it up this morning. And I believe that's when, even if it existed, it may have existed in the academic academic realm, but in everyday life you don't, hey man that seems like white privilege over there, you know. What black guy talks like that, Moe? Right, we don't. It's like, you know, for instance, I'll give you a great example of what white privilege would be. One guy gets caught with an ounce of crack and he gets 20 years, and another guy gets caught with an ounce of coke and

08:31 and he gets a slap on the wrist. Yeah, this is a very clear case of I mean, the whole thing was messed up and that's mainly the crack epidemic in Los Angeles and the elites who decided that there was a difference between crack, you know, as Whitney Houston would say, crack is whack, and the classy cocaine. So it was a classist thing in a way and a price point thing, but of course it was, it was, it screwed over black people in Los Angeles who are addicted to crack for sure.

09:07 Yes, and we see how another drug epidemic the opioid epidemic has been handled. Yeah, it's a wife It's a white problem. So we can't say these things don't exist But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves because what we need to do is one identify if what we have to what I plan to do with this whole Show our episode is to one identify, accurately identify and define what white supremacy is. Because then if people understand what that is, then they'll understand

CHAPTER 04 / 31 Discussion

Neely Fuller Jr., Global System of White Supremacy

Neely Fuller Jr., a Korean War veteran and author, defines racism and white supremacy as a singular, worldwide governing system. He argues that this system operates as a "one world government" regardless of the specific titles used to describe it. The hosts correlate this concept with "elitism" and the "New World Order," noting that they are identifying the same power structures using different terminology.

neely fuller jr· white supremacy· world government· globalism· korean war· dictionary definitions

09:45 what the white privileges are or what a white privilege appears to be and then how people bastardize these terms inaccurately for their own personal gain or to trigger other people. And I would want to ask up front, maybe this is coming later down the road, white supremacy is also often intertwined with the term institutional racism. Are these the same things? Is it the same? Or should I just sit back and relax and we'll find out? Well, let's go through these next set of clips and then we'll clearly identify what white supremacy is by the end of the next three or four clips. Let's get into Shelby Steele, White Supremacy II. The important thing, I think, to understand about white supremacy is not whether or not it really is an argument for the supremacy of whites or the inferiority of other races,

10:41 But what was important about it was the idea that whiteness constituted, in and of itself, moral authority. And so that if a black man in Africa met a white man on a path somewhere and there was no one around within 50 miles, the black man would have to carry the white man's bags. Because whiteness was authority. And thus it was and thus it was power. And so whites then could very, given that authority, could very reasonably go around the world and take over whatever territories they desired and to take whatever resources they desired and to then sort of corral the people into some sort of servitude if it so suited them.

11:39 Well, so you see it was a really powerful, enormously powerful idea that gave a certain meaning to life in the world. Right, this is the times of colonialism, I presume. This is from colonialism all the way up to the civil rights is what he's speaking of. Now where me and Mr. Shelby still part ways is he believes that white supremacy no longer exists. Or like I said, has become so clandestine that it doesn't really have any power. That's where I disagree with him. So now we're gonna get into some clips from Mr. Neely Fuller.

12:26 Mr. Neely Fuller, let me give you some background on him. He's well, highly touted Mr. Neely Fuller Jr., his full name. He was born in October 6th, 1929. So just to give you from his age perspective, he served in two branches of the armed forces. He served in the army in the Korean War conflict. So he took part in the American Dream. Mm-hmm. He took part in you know in fighting wars for America. So I think that gives him a certain validity to his statements Because he can speak he can speak from I believe accurately from all angles on this topic and when I bring people Like mr. Shelby or steel to the table or mr. Neely full of his table. It's just on the particular top topics they speak on so

13:28 Myself, I believe Nellie Fuller accurately defines racism and white supremacy. Well, we are under a system of white supremacy. That's the most powerful government that the world has ever seen. And that's the title of it, by the way. It doesn't go by any other title, even though we sometimes call it by other titles. But the accurate title for the government that we are under is, in capital letters, the system of white supremacy worldwide. It's just one world government. And that's the only government in town, the only government on the planet that really counts, that is worthy of having the title of government. Whoa, okay, hold on. I get to read my book. While he was saying this is the one world government, which is a very globalist term, familiar with that, of course, New World Order, I looked up the definition of supremacy

14:28 And it's well this ascendance domination Dominion hegemony Imperium examples of supremacy in a sentence the Roman Empire had supremacy over the entire Mediterranean world yes, yes, yes, yes, it seems he were there he were there Empire Empire yes, sir. Okay great. Oh, man. I love the dictionary so I think this is why me and you, Adam, could have these conversations because we're coming and identifying the same thing by different terms. And even Mr. Fuller even identified, he said, you can call it different names. I think you call it elitism or the elites. But there is a governing system in this world and a one world government that's trying to be pushed.

CHAPTER 05 / 31 Discussion

Nine Areas of Activity and the Global Elite

Neely Fuller Jr. lists nine areas of human activity—including economics, law, and politics—dominated by the system of white supremacy. The hosts argue that individuals of any race, including figures like Barack Obama, can act as agents of this system by pushing globalist agendas. They reference George Carlin’s "big club" analogy to describe a ruling class that operates above the general population.

economics· george soros· barack obama· globalism· george carlin· power structures

15:26 Yes, and this is a frequent topic for us on this show. It's a frequent... You're right. It is why we have always been able to communicate completely at the same level because we hold the same beliefs of this type of shenanigans going on. And that's why when I first became an NA listener, I understood exactly what you guys were saying, even though you were calling this system by a different name. So let's go on and let Nealey Fuller define the system even more. People who believe in dominating and mistreating people based on color in the form of what we call racism or white supremacy, those people collectively are the dominant force in all nine areas of activity on this planet that we call Earth.

16:21 in every area of activity 24-7. Economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex, and war. And they believe in dominating and mistreating people based on color. They're the smartest and most powerful men and women on the planet. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Where's the list? Give me the list of these people the other day least He said it's these dominant men and women. Give me the list right away I want to know who it is because that's what I've been looking for for at least 30 years Well, we know it is and we don't know who it is. We have an idea who it is I mean we point to almost every show. Mm-hmm. It's this it's the Soros's of the world Even the level above him. I think we are

17:21 use Soros as a icon of a way of thinking. Yeah, representation, sure, absolutely. Right, so we use him to point to, like, this is how they work, this is how they operate. But you don't have to be, and this is where we get into race and color and these things, you don't have to be white to operate and be an agent of white supremacy. The reason why I say this is, Barack Obama was an agent of white supremacy. He pushed the agenda of globalism. When you go to the UN, you see many faces of different colors, but they're pushing, they receive their power from this power structure, and they do the bidding of that power structure. And I think those people are even more beneficial when they don't look like your

18:18 typical, iconic, for lack of a better word, white supremacist. And I know we're using that word a lot, but for the people that get triggered by that, we have something for them, Adam. Oh yes, if you got something, we got... But if I get triggered then I hit this one. What more do you want from me? What's interesting is that, now I lost my train of thought. It's alright, continue Mo, I'll come back to it, it's good. No, so just the system, like I said, it's a system.

19:00 If you want to call it elite, if you want to call it the Illuminati, if you want to call, I mean, it's elite and we have to be honest. As you go up this pyramid, pun intended, the appearances start to look the same. Now to do a one to one correlation to say, oh, everybody that looks like that benefits from this system, I think that's pretty inaccurate. They can move inconspicuously in the system, but I don't think they benefit from it. The reason why I say that is, and this is why I always say why American slavery was different from any other slavery probably in the world or in history. Even if I bought my freedom in American slavery, I will always be identified as a slave by my appearance. Whereas throughout history,

19:56 My people that enslaved me would look like me due to we were geographically close or just different tribes or different clans or countries. So I think that's the difference why color and race factor into this form of to this empire. Right, whereas I think I've always made it clear that we're all really slaves of Gitmo Nation and I think that's kind of what I mean by there's a system up there and we're all, we all have to adhere to it or we're expected to adhere to it regardless of color.

20:38 What's the comedian's name that says, it's a club but we ain't in it? George Carlin. It's a big club and you ain't in it. Right. Very few of us are in it. So let's finish up with Mr. Nilly Fuller as he, oh, let me say this. So I think he's accurately identified what this system is. And I think me and you agree that there is a governing body over the world That make and call the shots now. We might call it different names, but I think we're identifying the same ruling class absolutely, so mr. Nilly Fuller is Gonna lay out how you fix that problem now. That's a problem It's a huge problem because nobody on the planet should be dominated and mistreated based on anything Whether it's color or anything else

CHAPTER 06 / 31 Discussion

Justice versus Liberty and the Economic Hitman

The concept of "justice" is analyzed as a term often hijacked by political movements, contrasting it with the right-wing focus on "liberty." The discussion transitions to the shift from military supremacy to economic supremacy, citing John Perkins’ book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." This shift involves using debt and infrastructure loans to control developing nations rather than overt force.

justice· social justice warriors· tulsi gabbard· john perkins· economic hitman· regime change

21:36 But that's what the only system that we have on the planet. We don't have any other system. There are no other systems. None. Zilch. So, the question is, what would you replace that system with? Logically speaking, since it is a system of non-justice, you replace it with a system of justice. Which means what? Two elements, according to what I've written anyway. And that is, Guaranteeing that no person is mistreated and guaranteeing that the person that needs help the most gets the most constructive help. Now that's what you go to the table with each and every day, each and every time, wherever you are on the planet. That that's the kind of planet you want. Okay. So we've seen this word pop up, justice. Yes. This is a favorite word.

22:35 left in the United States, certainly the Democrats always talk about justice this, justice that, whereas the right or the Republicans always talk about liberty and freedom. Mm-hmm. But justice is a big one. Yes, now you can see why how it's being hijacked. Oh yeah. Because at the root, real root of the problem, and this goes back to two shows ago when we talked about the the cop shooting case. All everyone wanted was justice, or what they perceived to be justice. And when that doesn't happen, it only inflames that this system exists or appears to exist. Now, we dug deeper and understood the interactings of the case, but

23:27 on the outer surface. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Yes. I'm sorry. Yeah, social justice. Go ahead. Well, this is where social justice warriors come from. Of course. Yes. Makes sense. Yeah. So do we've heard we hear people talk about this all the time. And we heard in recent news, even a political, um, candidate of the 2020 election talk about this, one being Mrs. Tulsi Gabbard. The regime change wars. What is that? When you go in to change the way a country is running itself just off of the benefits to economics,

24:16 That is an example of this system. Well, I think it's generally accepted by the population now that, oh, well, that was just about oil or something. But in essence, it's much bigger. And going back to the Paris 1912 agreement and how the Middle East was divided up, that was done by the white privilege system. I mean, there's no doubt about it. No one can argue that. So this is where, like I said before, Shelby Steele, he says that the system of white supremacy no longer exists.

25:01 Where I think is, I think that it shifted. It became not by force or by intimidation, it became economic. As we've all read in the book, or whoever read the book, The Economic Hitman. John Perkins, one of my favorite books. Yes, they infiltrate the countries. They leverage the people in charge, and then the people in charge basically becomes puppets of the system. So we have a clip from the economic hitman himself.

CHAPTER 07 / 31 Discussion

General Wesley Clark, The Seven Countries Memo

General Wesley Clark’s 2001 revelation regarding a Pentagon memo is used to illustrate the "Empire's" plan to destabilize seven countries in five years. The list included Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. The hosts note that the system has methodically targeted these nations since the memo was first disclosed, suggesting a long-term strategic roadmap for regime change.

25:39 RT is catching up with John Perkins, economist, activist and author. One of his best-selling books, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, has been translated into over 30 languages. It is an insider's account of the alleged exploitation of third world countries by the American government. Sir, thank you very much for sitting down with us. You have been an economic hitman for about 10 years. What exactly does that job entail? We economic hitmen have created the world's first truly global empire and it's the first empire in history that's been created primarily without the military through economics. Yes, this is, he worked for Bechtel Corporation, very similar or even KBR. These are the Kellogg Brown and Roots. These are the companies that

26:26 with or without war go into other countries, either take stuff, buy stuff, bring in Western companies to rebuild the rubble that has been created and take over. And then he also speaks of the jackals who they will send in when people in these other countries resist to the regime change. So you have a list of countries that We're planned to be destabilized and Robilized is the word you like to use. Yes, I call it. I call it the West Clark seven and I have the clip if you want me to play that I don't mind Could you do that as a background just to show how we identify not we but how the Empire Identifies countries they need to take over and then they come up with a reason how to do it. Yeah

27:19 Yeah, so let me just make sure I get the right one here. General Wesley Clark, two weeks after 9-11 was called, I think, into the Pentagon, and it was there that he was handed a note that talked about the countries we were going to go after. because of this 9-11 disaster and he was kind enough to actually tell us. So I came back to see him a few weeks later and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan I said are we still going to war with Iraq and he said oh it's worse than that he said he reached over on his desk he picked up a piece of paper he said I just

28:00 He said, I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense's office today and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years. Starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran. And I've kept track of this list and just recently, in fact we talked about it yesterday on the No Agenda Show, it looks like Lebanon may be on deck. We've got pretty much every other country, if not that we've gone in there, we've got them in our sights and that's obvious, you know, the final one on the list there is Iran. So, you know, that would be the big one and well, and you only have to look at the news to know what's going on. So yeah, it's, the system has not slowed down since General Wesley Clark mentioned those seven countries.

CHAPTER 08 / 31 Discussion

Debt Traps and the Global Exploitation Process

John Perkins explains the mechanics of the "economic hitman" process, where the World Bank issues loans for infrastructure projects that primarily benefit Western corporations while leaving host countries in unpayable debt. The hosts compare this to the financial crisis in Greece and modern Chinese operations across Africa. They suggest that local elites, or the "boulé," often facilitate these deals at the expense of their own populations.

world bank· infrastructure· greece· international monetary fund· africa· china

28:50 So either he had a crystal ball or those countries were identified as targets and we were just looking for a reason or a way in to attack those countries. So we have another clip from the economic hitman and he details the process of how they actually take over countries. And we work many different ways, economic hitmen, but perhaps the most common is that we will identify a third world country that has resources our corporations covet like oil and then arrange a huge loan to that country from the World Bank or one of its sister organizations.

29:28 But the money never actually goes to the country. Instead it goes to our own corporations to build big infrastructure projects in that country. Things like power plants and industrial parks and highways that benefit a few wealthy families in that country as well as our own corporations, but don't help the majority of the people. The whole country is left holding this huge debt. Bingo. So it's all about debt. It's all about leverage. And he said third world countries and most of the third world countries are people of color, which I hate that term, but

30:09 Well, no, I'm right you are you're correct and we have even more recent examples of this with the European Union Greece was completely obliterated economically financially and targeted by the International Monetary Fund big hedge funds Goldman Sachs JP Morgan and the place is still in shambles and We're going on 15 years now of what's been happening there. And yes, the Greeks are a little darker than the northern Europeans. And as I always say,

30:51 Specifically, I just could speak from my group of people. We feel the impact first. We're kind of like, let's run the test plan on them. And if it works, then we'll take it abroad or we'll take it. And then it eventually filters out into all of the population of non-elites. So, I mean, we've seen this and we've been telling people that when you hear terms like the man, the suits. What is that referring to? Them or they. There's a lot of them and they. Let's finish up with the economic hitmen. And it's such a big debt that they can't repay it. So at some point, we economic hitmen go back to them and say, you can't pay your debts. So give us a pound of flesh, sell your oil real cheap to our oil companies, or vote with us on the next critical United Nations vote, or send troops in support of ours to someplace in the world like Iraq. When we fail, then what we call the jackals step in. And these are

31:57 people who overthrow governments or assassinate their leaders. And on the very few occasions when both the economic hitmen and the jackals fail, as we both did in Iraq, then and only then does the military step in. And it's pretty secret because most people in the United States don't realize that they're reaping the benefits from this empire. They don't realize about the exploitation of resources and environments and people and sweatshops and so on all over the world that are the result of this. I think it's fair to say that this process is a huge threat to democracy and if the majority of the people who vote in the country don't understand this most basic principle of our foreign policy then we're not informed. And if we're not informed it's hard to say that we're voting truly democratically, which I think is a big concern. You know, as he talks here and it just reminds me of his book, which is still one of my favorites,

32:51 It's interesting that the Chinese are adhering to a complete economic hitman operation mainly across Africa but many other countries. Okay, I hit something there. Yes, mainly across Africa. Yes, now this is not white privilege per se because you can't say the Chinese are white but You know caulk Asian I've when I went once someone told me hey, you know your caulk Asian. I'm like, oh, okay So this there's a relation there perhaps and there's a color spectrum there Yeah in Asia the higher you go up the closer to quote-unquote white that you get

33:43 And this is where colorism comes in. All the shows that we had previous to this... It's just been, this is the crescendo. This is the climax. This is the climax. And when the economic hitmen go into those countries, other countries, they speak to the boulé. Every country, every creed of man has a boulé. To say, you know what, we see the bigger picture, you know, somebody got to benefit from this, why shouldn't it be us? And then we'll help our people in the end. And we saw that and my group of people, it was people that took deals on our behalf.

Civil Rights Legislation and the Mirror of Television

Shelby Steele describes the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act as moments where America morally came to terms with its past. The hosts argue that this "national reflection" was actually driven by the advent of television. They posit that seeing violent images of segregation on screen created a sense of public shame and guilt that forced legislative change.

34:27 And then when they didn't want to comply, they sit in the actual hitmen or the jackals. So I mean, this is what we're looking at. So going back to Mr. Shelby Steele and his speech, and he's going to speak on civil rights. In 1964, we passed a civil rights bill in the United States. In 1965, we passed a voting rights, the Voting Rights Act. Both of these acts, these, I think they are some of the greatest social legislation ever passed anywhere in the world, ever written anywhere in the world. They're the model for other such legislation around the world.

35:09 And inherent in this legislation was the acknowledgement on the part of America that it had done something very wrong. That racism was wrong, that slavery was wrong, that segregation was wrong, that white supremacy itself was wrong. I think this was America's greatest moment. Here was a nation that morally came to terms with itself, faced itself. I'm not aware of this, maybe it has happened, but I'm not aware of it anywhere else in the world before this happening, where a society rich and powerful looks at itself, examines itself.

35:56 in the way that America did at that period in time and makes the decision to change and acknowledges the wrong and vows to become a different kind of society. It's interesting how such a seminal moment in American history is used as such a club these days just to beat people over the head with. Yes, and it was a I'm going to sound cynical, but was it a seminal moment? The reason why I asked that question is he said this country took a look at itself, implying reflection or a mirror. Adam, do you know what that mirror was? No. The television screen.

36:48 I feel like a dope that wasn't it was like it that was another alley-oop for the curry Meister Yes, of course of course and television a lot to do with that. Yes, sir when these images started making their way on television whether they were staged or Naturally occurring it made people feel one one shame and Because it's like how in the hell can this happen? And two, out of shame comes guilt. Correct? Yes. Do we start seeing the correlations here? Yes. So let's go and look at the role of media in the civil rights.

CHAPTER 10 / 31 Discussion

Dramatizing the Movement and the Casting of Rosa Parks

The Civil Rights Movement is described as a strategically "dramatized" event designed to reach white Americans through media coverage. The hosts discuss the "casting" of the movement, noting that Claudette Colvin was the original choice for the bus protest but was passed over by the NAACP in favor of the more "palatable" Rosa Parks. They emphasize that leaders like John Lewis understood the necessity of performing protests in front of cameras.

37:36 As a story, the civil rights movement had it all. Good versus evil. Drama. Social upheaval. But at first, America's major media ignored it, especially in the South. It was our responsibility to find a way to dramatize the issue. Congressman John Lewis says that the movement's leaders realized to bring change, they needed to reach white Americans. How did you do that? As a movement, We literally put our bodies on the line.

38:24 Finally, by 1957, major northern newspapers discover the drama and the story. How do you feel about integrated passengers? The television networks followed. Even major southern media paid attention to the open hatred. You've got to keep your white and black safe. And the violent response to peaceful protest. If you're going to beat us, beat us in the light of day. Beat us by the cameras on. This was Selma, Alabama 1965 among the bloodied John Lewis. American people could not stand it to see young children and old women being knocked down by fire hoses and chased by police dogs. Yeah, you know

39:08 I'm just a little bit too young to have witnessed all that. I have other experiences from the late 60s, which you may get into later. But yeah, oh man, of course. When you showed normal, rational people what was going on and how people were willing to put themselves into the line of fire, so to speak, it definitely had an impact. Very powerful. Yeah, and so even John Lewis said we had to dramatize. Yeah, his words. Yeah dramatize even so much so Rosa Parks wasn't the first Rosa Parks. Oh man. Moe don't blow my mind now Claudette Coven oh yes, I do know this name of course uh-huh

39:59 Let me make sure I have the name right. I know I have the story right. Claudette Colvin, C-O-L-V-I-N, if you want to look it up. She was the original Rosa Parks. Only problem is, one, she had illegitimate children. So she didn't make for the perfect... Not the right casting for the role. Right also Some say some it's a in the ether that she was too dark for the role as well Because we all know Rosa Parks was fair-skinned it and it happened to be a work for the NAACP Right. So I mean just to go to show you the the dramatization not taking anything away from these people that like I said, they put their bodies on the line, but

CHAPTER 11 / 31 Discussion

Modern Memes and the Hong Kong Eye Patch

The conversation shifts to how modern technology and smartphones have replaced television as the primary tool for social justice "memes." They discuss the use of the eye patch as a symbol in the Hong Kong protests and how global organizations are allegedly distancing themselves from "one-eye" symbolism to avoid association with the movement. Martin Luther King Jr. is characterized as a "60s version of a meme" due to his camera-friendly persona.

smartphones· memes· hong kong protests· tiananmen square· symbolism· martin luther king jr

40:59 And there's a correlation here because we've seen the civil rights movement with the technology increasing with television. We see a one-to-one correlation with the increase in technology with the new television, i.e. the smartphone. And outrage and civil social justice, and the way that the media is movements. Only now it's a lot easier to mess with people's brains in social media. It's so ready just to put stuff into people's heads and imagery and memes is really important in this. Memes, oh my goodness.

41:46 You know, the modern caricature. They would say the same thing about television in those times. Absolutely. Where it used to be just a picture in the newspaper, maybe a radio story, but now you could put motion picture. people being blown over by water hoses, dogs attacking them. It was very beneficial to the movement and to enact that shame. Well, in fact, to this day, this type of tactic is being used with Hong Kong, where messages are being, are circulating everywhere of Tiananmen Square. There's one photo that shows dead bodies who were just run over by tanks.

42:29 And, you know, this is brought into this Hong Kong situation continuously. Just as an aside, Mo, very interesting to me that Claudette Coven has no Wikipedia entry. That tells you something right there, doesn't it? Yeah. But it's funny that you say about the memes and the visuals, because in Hong Kong, the eye patch Yeah. Is the imagery or the symbolism for Hong Kong now. Yeah. So much so, and this is funny and we're going to get back on track here, that the One World System is eating itself because now they're pulling all the one eye Illuminati symbolism because they're scared that it correlates with Hong Kong. Hold on, here we go. It's above me now.

43:25 Oh my goodness, I hadn't even thought about that. The one, the all-seeing eye and the eye patch. You know the models they love to do the... Yeah, of course. The one eye, the triangle one eye. They're pulling all that crap. Yes, they're pulling it all because they fear it to be a symbolism to Hong Kong. Nice. Alright, so getting back to the media and the civil rights movement, movement two. We will dramatize this whole situation by marching by the thousands. Television also found Martin Luther King. The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

44:01 will face the nation. Americans heard a leader who shattered racial stereotypes. We feel that the time has come for a full-scale assault on the system of segregation. This man is someone you could actually talk to and who seemed quite reasonable. And for white southerners, this was new information. and part of a national awakening. It was the media that carried our message to the rest of the nation. Protest became progress once the media woke up and Americans rose up. Mark Strassman, CBS News, Atlanta. Dramatized. Dramatized right off the bat, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

44:47 So we've seen how... You know, I'm sorry, for as many times as I've heard Martin Luther King's speeches, it never hit me. When he said drama, it never hit me. And just now, I'm like, oh, okay, of course. He was, you know, the 60s version of memes. And he was perfect for the role. He was young, great voice, great, you're saying, awesome speaker. Just he was like I said perfect for the role that they were looking for a young a young black articulate man That was camera friendly friendly I'm sorry when you say he was perfect for what they were looking for. Yes, they being Bailey just checking

CHAPTER 12 / 31 Discussion

Stigma and the Comparison to Post-War Germany

Shelby Steele compares the stigma of being labeled a racist in America to the stigma faced by Germans after World War II. He argues that white guilt is not a matter of personal conscience but a "vacuum of moral authority" where individuals must constantly prove they are not racist. One host shares his experience growing up in the Netherlands and observing how "new Germans" attempted to atone for the Nazi era.

shelby steele· germany· nazism· stigma· moral authority· racism

45:37 Yeah, the they. Pretty much the big they. The capital they. Gotcha. Yeah, so, and what was his message? Nonviolence, not gonna cause too much trouble. He was palatable to the... What was the other option? Yeah, well he also had God on his side. Right. Made that easier. Yes. This is the source of shaming and like I said before we had to look at the relationship between shaming and guilt. So now we go back to Mr. Shelby Steele and he explains to us further what white guilt is. So white guilt then is not a guilt of conscience. It's not I can't sleep at night because I'm so guilty about what happened to black Americans before I was born.

46:35 It's not that kind of, if white guilt was that, then we wouldn't be here today talking about this phenomenon. But it is this vacuum of moral authority. Just not being, not having the authority to be able to speak about any number of issues, race, poverty, and so forth, because of having acknowledged this past, the sins of the past. White guilt is enforced by stigma. When you acknowledge that you were a part of a group, that you belonged to a group that did a wrong in the past. Think, if you want to, I think, see this in vivid terms, think of the Germans after World War II. The stigma of having been a Nazi, of having a Nazi in your family, an uncle who was whatever.

47:34 Well, you might not, you might yourself not have been a Nazi. Might never have subscribed to that point of view. But outside of Germany, all Germans in a sense became from then on stigmatized by the sin of Nazism. And other people could look at them and have a certain, again, moral authority in relation to them. Well, in many ways I think that's what happened in America. Whites became stigmatized as racist. And from that point on, whites are in the position of forever having to prove the negative, that they're not a racist. Wow, this is very good and I hadn't considered that comparison, having grown up in the Netherlands.

48:24 where many of my friends' grandparents had, you know, serial numbers tattooed on their forearms from the concentration camp. You know, there were Germans in Holland all the time, either on business or vacationing, and as I grew older, you know, we had Germans who we'd be friends with or whatever, and it was, to me at least, always obvious they were really trying to be nice. you know, hey we're the new Germans and I think someone actually said it to me one time, you know, we're the new Germans, you know, this is and they definitely are very cognizant of their past and yeah I guess it is a form of, oh man we were really assholes in the past and so I just want you to know we're not like that, we're cool man, we're okay, but still and this is where it gets tough, these grandparents would always be wary

49:19 No, he's German. You know, so there was this period before everybody dies off, it takes a while and I think now rarely does anyone even make a joke about Germans being Nazis. Whereas that used to be kind of normal. You could say it to a German guy, say, yeah, I know how you like to dominate. You know, you could say that stuff and you'd have a good laugh over it. But now that's kind of gone. And that, so that's in less than, you know, so what is that? 80, 70, 80 years? And that's kind of gone. But, very important I think for this, you can't tell by looking at someone if they're a German or not. Exactly, and that's what I was speaking about before with the color people, or people of color versus non-people of color. Right. That you can't, and I use this term before, but I didn't use it in jest, closeted.

CHAPTER 13 / 31 Discussion

Personal Anecdotes on 1960s Integration and Etiquette

A host recounts a 1969 childhood memory of a black family visiting his home in Maryland, noting their formal attire and stiff behavior. The other host explains this as "respectability politics," where black families were taught to look their best and avoid stereotypes to prove their worthiness in newly integrated spaces. They discuss how this "don't embarrass us" mentality was a burden placed on children during the era.

50:17 You know, you could be a closeted German. Yes, exactly. Where with me, like I said back in... Well, you could be a closeted German easily. I mean, no one would know. So this is where we get to with the guilt, the shame, and it's like, prove you're not a racist. Adam, prove that you're not a racist. Like, if that's the conversation... Yeah, proving a negative is impossible. Okay, now I want to tell this story. 1969, I'm five years old. We're living in Kensington, Maryland. And this morning your phone call actually triggered this. And also I'm writing my book and so things are coming into my mind that I haven't thought about. So I'm five and you don't really remember much when you're five. But I remember very distinctly a feeling I had

51:09 My parents were both government employees and I think it was a Saturday, no I'm sure it was a Saturday, they said hey we're having some colleagues come over from work and they'll be here. I don't know if they said they were black but it was a family of four, mom, dad, son, daughter and they were colleagues so they also state government employees and I remember they were so dressed up, like Sunday... and we went to church on Sundays back in Unitarian Church. Okay, we went to church and I remembered them all dressed up, you know, like Sunday best and like, why? Thank you for ringing that bell. And that moment, and I'm trying to bring it up now, I felt

52:02 I felt very emotional about it. I don't know if it was, wow, you know, and they weren't really talkative, you know, they were like, yes, and a lot of yes, yes, yes, sir, no ma'am, all the bit like really being on their Sunday best. And my sister, well, my sister was very young, but I was like, I just want to hang out and play. And I remember feeling Not guilt, to be honest with you Mo, I think I felt sorry and I didn't know anything about the civil rights movement. I'm five, you know, I'm five and I don't think I'd really interacted with black kids, certainly not in Kensington, Maryland at the time. I'm sure that's changed now. And that's what I felt and it was very odd to me, but it was not just color, but it was the whole thing, you know, the being extra dressed up and extra and like, it didn't make sense to me. I hope that it's coming out if you understand what I'm saying here. The reason why I rang my bell, I'm going to be on the opposite side of that conversation.

53:04 This is a phenomenon that I grew up under when we went somewhere you looked your best It wasn't the fact that all you want to impress white people It's the fact that we're not gonna feed into the stereotypes We're gonna defeat the stereotypes so You had to be ironed every day. But that's really weird because all I wanted was for another kid to show up with a Schwinn bike, you know? It's like, hey man, let's go run around the neighborhood. So it had an adverse effect on me at the time. Well, this is the conversation. Don't ask for anything. Don't embarrass us. That you get in the car.

53:47 And I was telling my wife, I was like, you know, the weird thing now is, and like I said, when I do generalities, it's just for this, to highlight a point. For sake of conversation, of course. You know who does that now? The newly immigrated. When we go to school functions, all the kids, you know, they kind of got like, I mean, say if it calls for like a chorus recital. They have a white shirt, black pants, black shoes. The girls wear dresses. The newly immigrated, you can identify them because the way they dress.

54:31 It's so neat, it's so clean, you know, well kept. And then you look at the American quote-unquote, American kids, it's like, eh. Well, you know, and subsequently, just to tack on to that when it comes to clothing, of course, every black guy I've known is much better at doing clothes than I am. And when I went to college and my roommate is black, I learned how to wash and dry and fold. And you know, so that's just, it's a purely cultural difference, but man, I'm happy for it. Yeah, my grandma showed me how to iron it like 10, nine, 10 years old. I mean, because it's the way you carry yourself. And that, and that comes from, like I said, that generational thing, mostly your grandparents and parents, like, you know, we're new, black people were newly integrated at this period. I mean, if you really want to, I mean, it's a,

55:24 Oh yeah, I mean, this is 1969, Mo. This is, you know, this is right after it all went down, you know? Right, I mean, I know from people, oh what do you mean by immigrant? Because we were on the fringe of society and now we were allowed in, so it's like we had the same mentality as newly immigrated people now that I observed. Well, what you just said hit home for me. You said, you're in the car. Don't ask questions. Don't embarrass us. That if that'll be by the way, that'll fuck you up as a kid. Well, you got to understand what's riding on that. Oh, it will. It will. Yeah, it will. I'm not saying it won't, but it's like, hey, the whole race is riding on your shoulders. Yeah. When you go into environments and you know what? To be honest with you doing this podcast, I feel that

CHAPTER 14 / 31 Discussion

Dr. Phil and the Critique of Michael Eric Dyson

The hosts critique a segment from the Dr. Phil show featuring Michael Eric Dyson. They mock Dyson’s use of metaphors, such as the "fish in water" analogy for white privilege, calling it "word salad." They argue that such academic jargon is a form of virtue signaling that avoids real conversation about power structures and instead focuses on making ordinary people feel guilty.

dr. phil· michael eric dyson· white privilege· virtue signaling· academic jargon

56:19 Well good, because it does. Without this podcast we'd devolve into race war. So yes, we're right. We are holding up the country and the universe, Mo. Yes. So Dr. Phil, he feels that he needs to chime in, and this is to tell you how far the white conversation, white privilege conversation, has went when it starts to infiltrate daytime television. So Dr. Phil, he goes and tries to define what is white privilege. Let's start out by defining white privilege and what it is and what it is not. Now, first definition, privilege is a special right or advantage or immunity granted

57:07 or available only to a particular person or group. Now, when we say privilege, that just means that it's something that exists. It's not something that somebody created or grabbed, right? Think about the famous story about David Foster Wallace. He said two fish are in the ocean swimming along. They meet an elderly fish coming the other way and he says, good morning boys, how's the water? They go along a little piece and they go, what's water? When you're in it, you don't recognize that you're in it. You derive your existence from it. You derive your sustenance from it. So it's a set of practices and privileges based upon skin color. It's based upon assumptions about who people are. So that's what privilege is. And we're talking here that the privilege is

57:49 We said it goes to a group or an individual and we're talking about the group being white here And so white privilege we're talking about inherent advantages Possessed by a white person on the basis of their race in a society that's characterized by racial inequality or injustice so the fish you're talking about is here are white folks that are swimming in a society and they don't realize that this inures to their benefit. It's not that they said I'm going to position myself in a way that I have this advantage, it just exists all around them.

58:30 They said a bunch of nothing there. And that's just- Fish, water, it's all water. And like I said, one of my favorite guys to ridicule, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, with his word salads. And that's the problem. Have a real conversation. Right. Me and you are having a real conversation. We're sharing personal experiences. You let me know what that other side of that conversation that we got in the car was about. I'm letting you know what it was about. But when you do this, always two fish are swimming in the ass, what's water? It's like, what? We can't just talk about human beings. We got to take it to fish right away and water because I get, yeah. You know what? Because it's probably too painful for people to look inside themselves and identify with what's being said.

59:21 I call bullshit, excuse me for saying that, and reason why, on Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, he understands the one world government, but he's not gonna have that conversation because he's an elite. Or he's allowed to be in the elite circle. He's not really an elite, but he's a pseudo elite. So he's not gonna step on any toes so he doesn't lose his tenure at whatever university he's at. And he's not gonna be labeled a problem child. So he goes out here and he makes people, ordinary day people that don't really have any power, feel guilt.

59:57 shame. But when you put him on a panel with a bunch of liberals that hold very stereotypical views of black people, he won't challenge them. That's why I'm in It's people like that we got to get rid of. They got to go. I'm all for it. Yeah, I hear you. I hear you. They got to go because they're standing in the way of real people having real conversations that can really bring about... And let me be clear. Let me say one thing here about... I'll wait to address that. But yeah, I mean, you see here, you're on Dr. Phil. You have the platform of broadcast television.

1:00:42 And that's what you came with? Fish? It's like fish. Right. Yeah. So, and that's what he always does. It's just these long... To be an effective communicator, you should be able to simply communicate things that way a multitude of different people can understand what you're saying on different levels. Right. But as you point out, he clearly was not authorized to do that. His task is different. No, his task is to go out there and virtue signal and make white people feel guilty for whatever reason of this, I don't know. Well, if I may insert one thing, in 1971, talking about television, something very important happened in American life, and that was All in the Family. And having Archie Bunker sit there and portray seemingly stereotypical

CHAPTER 15 / 31 Discussion

All in the Family and the Media's Role in Guilt

The 1970s sitcom "All in the Family" is identified as a major cultural tool used to project guilt onto the white working class through the character of Archie Bunker. The hosts discuss how this media influence persists in liberal university environments, where professors and students feel compelled to acknowledge systemic inequality as a form of social survival.

archie bunker· all in the family· norman lear· systemic inequality· university culture

1:01:44 white collar, blue collar, white working guy who hates the commies, hates the Jews, hates the blacks. That was a guilt, like throwing shade, it was throwing guilt all over the place and it was the number one show for almost a decade. And I think that did a lot to the American psyche. I grew up watching it. I remember my dad wrote a play version of All in the Family that the church, they performed it at the church and it was riddled with this kind of stuff and it was totally intended to guilt white people. It was also funny but it was, you know, because it made you laugh at yourself but at the same time it was I think very important.

1:02:33 Which we can, and I'm not saying white people can't atone. If you truly feel that you've held some racist beliefs or you've benefited from this system directly, you can atone for it. I'm not saying that, but making people, antagonizing people. And it's done on both sides because what it does is it creates this circular argument of, this is how it goes. hey white man you you you uh you you have white privilege and then they say well all you black people get welfare and i don't get welfare you know and then it then it's this nonsensical circular argument goes round and round and round it's worse no i'm sorry back in lab it's worse mo it's worse white people will say to you you've got white privilege

1:03:28 Well, they want to not what what what what it does shall be still saying the other one they want to prove the negative. This proved the negative is like, well, if I see a white guy in a black guy arguing. I gotta take the black guy's side for fear of me looking like a racist. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. So that's the root. Like I said, it's non-productive. I'm a solution-based person. We can fix a lot of the problems. One is, like I said, we clearly realize there is a one world government and people that deny that, they're the bigger problem. They're asleep. They got their eyes closed. Right. Or scared to say anything.

1:04:10 But let's continue with Dr. Phil and Dr. Avra Martin. have any kind of white privilege. I'm poor. I had to stand in the food line. My family was on welfare. And so they deny the existence of the privilege because they feel like they're not reaping the financial benefits that are usually associated with the word privilege. Exactly. That's the argument I was referring to there. And it just goes around and around like a dog chasing its tail. And we get nowhere. We get nowhere at all. I fell into that hole with the UT professor. I fell right into it. And he's a professor! You'd think these guys know better. Well, and when you work in a liberal environment as a university, you have to really disprove the negative. Right.

CHAPTER 16 / 31 Discussion

The Race Card and the Hijacking of Civil Rights

Shelby Steele defines the "race card" as a tool used to manipulate the stigma of racism for political gain. The hosts argue that the "door kicked open" by the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) has been hijacked by other groups, such as the LGBTQ movement and environmentalists, through intersectionality. They express disgust at political pandering, suggesting it treats black Americans as "less than grownups."

race card· ados· intersectionality· democratic party· pandering· lgbtq rights

1:05:11 To survive? I mean just talking about survival. Or just say, you're right. That's the easy way out. Yeah, you're right. I got white privilege. I'm a dick. You're right. So we're going back to Shelby Steele and he's going to elaborate more on white guilt. And in a sense, since the 60s, that's pretty much what has happened, is that minorities have begun to sort of manipulate that stigma. And so we call it in some circles today the race card. Play the race card. What does the race card mean? Well, if you don't do what I want you to do, then you're going to be stigmatized as a racist and the price you'll pay is you'll lose your legitimacy.

1:06:05 So white guilt is powerful, is a powerful, powerful force. Not because people feel guilty, but because people are stigmatized and again have to prove the negative all the time. And are for living forever under threat of being stigmatized. Wow, he nails it there. Nails it. And there's a key word that he used in there, minorities. Yeah. Off the back of the civil rights, and we've seen this in the recent events with the trans and gay employment bill or... Well, the Supreme Court case. Yes, yes. We kicked the door open, you know, black people, ADOS, kicked the door open for civil rights or are allowed to open the door, however you want to look at it.

1:07:04 But we're the last to benefit from it. It's like everybody else like, oh, thank you. Thank you. You're saying let me hold the door. Hey, thanks for holding the door open, black people. Right. Thank you, G. Yeah, you're right. You know, as you've seen, cops, I haven't seen a single cop shoot a trans person. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm just saying what they show us on the news is always a black male being shot. But Black Lives Matter has Pivoted or evolved or whatever word you want to use to global warming. We as we heard in the previous clips now on previous show global warming Intersectionality, it's like what? Yeah, I thought we were talking about us and they do this same thing

1:07:57 switch, it's quite a hand trick. It's like, oh yeah, black man, you know, go get sprayed down by that water hoses and getting bit by dogs. And then we'll take that card, cross out race on it and write in gender or... Right, so you're describing the Democratic Party right now at the moment. Democrat Party seems to be doing a lot of this. Yes. Yes, and that's why you know what it's all in one word for it. It's disgusting and I'm gonna tell people like this This is my view on it white guilt is disgusting to me if you want to atone for something atone for it You know if you feel like you need to do something help out, you know Or you have something to contribute to somebody you felt you done wrong. That's fine But when you pander to me, I don't care who you are when you pander to me. I find that disingenuous This is just me personally speaking

1:08:51 And it makes me look at you a certain kind of way. Like, why are you doing that? I mean, like, what are your real thoughts? I mean, like, why are you... And it goes in one of the clips you played on the N.A. show when they were like, oh yeah, we gotta take out the illegals or non-documented immigrants because who's going to clean our toilets? It's like... Yeah. What? You know, so or the pandering to me is like we have to do this for black people because they can't do it for themselves. Right. I find that very disingenuous. I'm not saying there's good people out here with good causes that are genuinely skin in the game. But when you do this thing with

Dissociation and LBJ's Great Society

Shelby Steele posits that the "Great Society" programs of the 1960s were a form of "dissociation" intended to distance the American government from the stigma of racism. While billions were spent on social programs, Steele and the hosts argue that these initiatives failed to eradicate poverty or bring about true equality, serving instead as a moral shield for the establishment.

lyndon b. johnson· great society· dissociation· poverty· social programs· affirmative action

1:09:37 just lip service and posting hashtags and don't, you know, it's just like, oh, you putting on this badge. It's just, I find it very disgusting because what do you think of me to make you do that? That's just my personal, be honest with me, be honest, say, hey, you need to do this. You guys need to do that. Or you do, you know, are you saying I'm less than a grownup that I'll shatter? You be honest with me. Well, I don't think anyone likes to be pandered to if you're honest about it Oh, they do though and we're gonna see later in this. Oh, they do So getting back to white guilt 3.2 this leads to the next phenomenon that is a feature of white guilt and That's dissociation

1:10:36 The only way to get away from the stigma of being a racist is to find some way to dissociate oneself from the stigma, from the image that you are a racist, that you are like the whites of old, that you still secretly are a white supremacist, that you still secretly believe in this, that your heart is, that you may be smiling, but your heart is still committed to racism. And so, again, whites walking around under this sort of cloud of suspicion then have to find ways to dissociate themselves from that. I think the first great example of dissociation in American life was President Johnson's Great Society.

1:11:24 Why all of a sudden, in 1965, do you just say, well, we're going to spend billions and billions of dollars, we're going to create all kinds of social programs, and we're going to dump all this money, and we're going to end poverty in our time. You create all these programs, almost all of which failed. Certainly they did not eradicate poverty, they did not bring about racial equality, they did virtually nothing. But, They did dissociate the American society and the American government from the stigma of racism. Yes, the Great Society. Throw money at the problem. Medicare, Medicaid, there was lots of stuff that came out of that. Yes, affirmative action was one of them, but it was not...

CHAPTER 18 / 31 Discussion

Homelessness in Austin and the Failure of Virtue Signaling

The hosts discuss the homelessness crisis in Austin, Texas, as a modern example of ineffective virtue signaling. They argue that liberal policies allowing camping in public spaces brought the problem to residents' doorsteps, shifting the conversation from helping the needy to simply wanting the "eyesore" removed. They characterize "throwing money at the problem" as a shortcut that avoids addressing root causes.

austin texas· homelessness· community first village· city council· public policy

1:12:21 A lot of thought put into it. It was just throw money at the problem. Well, that's make it go That is the American way I mean I have to say our culture as Americans is we do throw money at the problem thinking that'll fix it But do you really want to fix the problem and I'm gonna bring up an example to you Homelessness, this is something near and dear to your heart Yes, do people really want to make fix the homeless problem or do they make one and not see the homeless? My experience is because, well, and this is, I think this is probably what triggered this debate a while ago, because of, yeah, it's another version of guilt.

1:13:07 We'll call it systemic issues, whether it's racism or institutional inequality or whatever words you want to put towards it. And I'm just talking about my own experience here in Austin, Texas, a blue dot in the red state, very liberal, and that may or may not have anything to do with it. I think it does. And it's, I'm so guilty about what the system has done. These people don't have what I have. I want to fix it. They don't have a house. Give me a house! That's the thinking. So it's not about, not even interested really, not even interested in how these people became homeless or what the real issues are.

1:13:54 Yeah, not in my backyard. I mean I was talking to Alan Graham, the founder of Community First Village here in Austin, and he said if I had a dollar for every person that said to me, this is so great what you're doing, but could you do it over there? He said, I'd be a rich man. And so yes, it's not actually It's a shortcut and I think that I have to be honest with you I think that's part of the American culture which is changeable and it's not everybody I'm generalizing but hey you know all right well if I can just pay a little more in taxes and it'll go away because my dear leader said it would in this case I'm talking about the mayor or the governor

1:14:34 Then that's then that's the level I want to go to and that's great. It's easy for me to talk with my pocketbook That's it's become a way to fix all even though as you and I both know it rarely does For two reasons one the people interest in the homelessness. I'm not saying at all, but your general average person is No one gave second thought to homeless people until they start showing up on their block. That's right. As long as they were under the bridge, on the highway or wherever else, out of sight, out of mind, you gave no thought to it. Correct. So one, your action is out of the wrong motive. It's to make the problem go away, not solve the problem. And then two, when you have to take action, you don't want to understand the problem

1:15:23 and create a solution to the problem, what you want to do is here, this is what's convenient for me. Throw money at it, throw a hashtag at it. Let me like this, let me retweet this. No, I feel good about it. I did something. If you're going to do that, don't say nothing at all. I mean, it's worse because what you do is you make a problem seem like it's being addressed when it's really not. And just to add to that, we'll move away from homeless in a moment, but right now in Austin it's got so bad, because what Austin did, the city councils, they said, okay, you can camp, sit, lie anywhere you want, except City Hall, of course, that would be crazy. And that brought the problem right to people's doorsteps, and then they freaked out. And now the conversation is not even about homelessness anymore, it's about how do we get them off the streets? How do we get them off these streets?

CHAPTER 19 / 31 Discussion

The $20 Trillion Failure of the War on Poverty

A news clip reviews the 50-year legacy of the Great Society, noting that $20 trillion has been spent on the "War on Poverty." While the legislation successfully ended Jim Crow laws, the hosts question the goal of a "colorblind society." They argue that true colorblindness is an attempt to erase culture and that the current system remains fixated on racial categories through affirmative action.

war on poverty· jim crow· colorblind society· affirmative action· national debt

1:16:18 It's sick. It's sick. And that's what we did with the Great Society, with LBJ. They just threw money at the problem, but let's listen to the triumphs and tragedies of it. $20 trillion. What would you do with all that money? You could pay off the national debt. You could spend a million dollars a day for 2,000 years and still have trillions left. But could you end poverty in America? That was one of the goals of the Great Society, President Lyndon Johnson's ambitious plan to transform the lives of Americans. The Great Society is 50 years old. It's been a long historic journey, but are we at the end of the road? We'll start by traveling back to 1964, when America's prosperity and potential seemed limitless.

1:17:14 But America had troubling age-old problems like legal discrimination and abject poverty that could no longer be tolerated in the increasingly prosperous land of the free. So, in May of 1964, President Johnson made a big announcement. The great society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our time. LBJ decided that the government, with its vast power and the might of the National Treasury, would steer us towards a better place. The challenge of the next half century is whether we have the wisdom to use that wealth to enrich and elevate our national life.

1:18:04 and to advance the quality of our American civilization. Johnson's plan ended the South's Jim Crow laws, no more whites-only lunch counters, colored water fountains, and sitting at the back of the bus. Landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 1965 Voting Rights Act were tremendous achievements that did away with legalized racial discrimination. Today, we stand closer to being the colorblind society that Johnson envisioned. But we're still trying to level the playing field with affirmative action policies that themselves aren't colorblind.

1:18:46 Big voice to talk about color blindness. We're a colorblind society, which you can't say that's racist to say these things But while we want to be a colorblind society, that's a very it's not a great question. It's a very good question I don't want to be colorblind. I agree. Let me ask you this question if you're colorblind What are you seeing gray or black and white? What black and white that's right Yeah, exactly. That's how they're gonna bring about the colorblind society. We spoke about this before. It's like, hey, let's mix them all up, get rid of cultures, you know, that's the solution. But it's, like I said, I find it troubling that people just want, they don't want to address the problem. If you don't want to address it, don't address it. But there's hope. There's always hope. Oh, okay. I'm sitting up straight. All right. I'm ready for my orders.

CHAPTER 20 / 31 Discussion

Safety Pin Box and the Monetization of White Guilt

The hosts highlight "Safety Pin Box," a monthly subscription service designed to help white people "atone" for their privilege by performing tasks and sending money to black women activists. They mock the service as a commercialization of white guilt, specifically targeting middle-aged women who voted for Hillary Clinton. They characterize the business model as "disgusting" and a trivialization of real social issues.

1:19:48 For all the people out there that are riddled with white guilt, there's kits for you. Really? Yes. There are subscription boxes for everything these days. Tweed menswear, makeup, dog toys. And now two women are hoping a box, delivered once a month, can alleviate white guilt. But as Evan McMorris Santoro discovered, it won't come cheap.

1:20:24 Barra Elman is a rabbi and professor of Jewish studies who lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Barra's holiday gift haul this year includes something for herself, the Safety Pin Box, a new monthly subscription service designed to wake up white people to the realities of being black in America. Plans start at $25 and go all the way up to $100 a month. Wait a minute. What is... Safety Pin? What is going on? Where is this from? What is this? This is vice. Oh, of course. Vice, the virtue signaling SJW advertising agency. And it is real. White guilt kids. All right. I'm listening. White guilt kids too. Are you getting that feeling of like unboxing, that exciting feeling of like a gift? No, it's not so much of a gift, but it's kind of exciting that it's, I feel like I'm getting ready to learn like, I don't know, Mission Impossible, like what my job is supposed to be, you know?

1:21:24 The safety pin is the Make America Great Again hat for white people who want to show the world they didn't vote for Trump. After an election that progressives believe hinged on racism, the safety pin is meant to display that the wearer is a safe white person. The trend quickly became commercialized. Now you can find designer safety pins online for over $300. Organizers Marissa Johnson and Leslie Mack think they can use all this white guilt for good and capitalize on it at the same time. Monthly! Monthly! Alright! So you can get monthly... Oh, it's my monthly reminder! Yeah! Yeah! This is ridiculous! Wait, wait, is this serious, bro? Is this really... This is as a heart attack. This is not like National Lampoon or The Onion or something? This is HBO Vice! Oh, brother.

1:22:25 Okay. Kids three. So they created the safety pin box. The plan is to make some profit while also giving grants to black women activists. I went to Grand Rapids to watch the first set of boxes get packed in Leslie's house. That's a good idea. Yeah, that is actually a really good idea. This is sort of the epicenter of white guilt is the white middle-aged mom who voted for Hillary but saw Trump win on the back of the white women vote. Yeah. That's where the money is. That's where the need is. I wouldn't say the money, but it is where the need is. Well, you're a business person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where the cash is, right? That's where the money is. Well, the cash is in all the white people's wallets. So I'm not discriminating about whose wallet it is exactly, but I will say that that's where the need exists. That's where the desire is. I told you it's the American way. Fix it with money. This is disgusting. Now, when you watch this,

1:23:22 after you crack up laughing, how do you really feel about it? I feel sad for the people buying the box. And I feel mad at the people creating the box because what it does is trivialize. But this is the social justice warrior way. The people that we see, and we saw this on the show many a time, they're able to monetize their movement for personal gain. So yeah, but I feel sorry. Obviously this woman's dealing with, that bought this box is dealing with something to seek out a way to not identify. I mean, let's just say what it is. It's derangement syndrome. Yeah, yes. It's okay. So people have been trained, I'll put it that way,

Radical Compassion and the Virtue Signaling Economy

The discussion continues regarding the "Safety Pin Box" tasks, which include practicing "radical compassion" and evaluating media consumption for bias. The hosts question who these subscribers are signaling to, especially in affluent, non-diverse areas like Park Slope, Brooklyn. They conclude that the service is more about white people performing for other white people than actual social change.

It's okay. So people have been trained, I'll put it that way,

1:24:28 that Trump won the election. Well, there's many reasons he won. We know the Russians, we know that, you know, there's many different things that are of course true, but above all it was racism. So now the only way to combat Trump is to combat racism somehow. And people are going along with it. I mean, it's very effective, the triggers that they're putting into this, into the marketing of this idea. And look at the target they're going after. Women who voted for Hillary but saw other white women voting for Trump. And I think in the clip before they said older white women.

1:25:07 Yeah, middle age or older. Yes. Middle age. So that put, you know, some, but a lot of these people grew up at the beginnings of the civil rights movement. Like me. Absolutely. All the work we put into this is coming back again. In a box. All the work that's been put in, Mo, is now fixable in a box of safety pins. Yes, kits for. So what's in the box? Oh, Bara finds lesson plans and tasks to complete. Some tasks are simple, like give black people higher tips. Others are harder. This month at Safety Pin Box we are focused on learning about and practicing radical compassion. That's nice. As a part of combating what's in present white supremacy. You do three things every week. One is directed towards

1:25:56 This in this case black elderly one is directed towards the over incarcerated and this one's media this week I take a look at the media I consume on a regular basis and evaluate it for bias and worthiness I'm sitting here in in your house in Park Slope And I'm wondering if these boxes are just gonna end up like you know how New Yorkers get stacked up people's houses like I'm sure there's some New Yorkers in this house somewhere. Yes, there are we read them however we do read them. No, that's a very good I'll bet you she just doesn't see him. It's worse.

CHAPTER 22 / 31 Discussion

The German Cupcake Controversy and Social Media Triggers

A host shares a story about being nearly "triggered" by a tweet featuring a German cupcake that appeared to use a racial slur. Upon closer inspection, the word was "train conductor" and the cupcake was not intended as blackface. This leads to a discussion on how social media is designed to facilitate instant outrage and how linguistic differences in Germany (e.g., "Neger" vs. "Schwarze") are often misunderstood by Americans.

germany· blackface· social media· linguistics· triggers· cupcakes

1:26:52 But who are you virtuous signaling to if you don't encounter black people to have to wear a safety pin? Yeah, just white people. Now you see! And that goes back to the cupcake thing. The German donut! It's like... Well, we didn't explain that yet. No, okay, I sent Adam a tweet and it had a chocolate donut with a German sign And the woman put in star star star star donut and it's in Germany. Right. I sent it to Adam says, what does this mean? Cause I did this and I was, I was almost got, yes. Cause I seen a fifth star. Right. And, uh, and it actually said, um,

1:27:47 It was actually a train conductor, I think they called it a train conductor or something, but what I was able to explain is historically in Germany they have a couple of treats that the one that I'm most familiar with is called a Negersohn, which is a negro kiss and it's like a big black thing filled with a creamy middle. Now of course you can debate whether that's racist or not, but in German N-E-G-E-R, Neger, is not derogatory, whereas Schwarze, and you've heard this probably from Yiddish or Jewish, that's very derogatory. So if a German says Schwarze, that's racist. If you say Neger, it's not appropriate probably anymore for this century, but it's been around for a long, long time. And if you looked at the, she just had the N word, but N with

1:28:39 With four stars not five stars. The reason why that is is I read it with five stars. That's right. So just to go show you I'm not even above this why I don't do social media for one and I only do it for the benefit of promoting the show. But two, I'm subjecting myself to social media for you guys. Yes. I was almost triggered. It's easy. It's easy. It's easy. And I and and we so just to set the picture up you have this little chocolate man cupcake face with little pink lips not overly large lips for the people thinking blackface but she made allusions to blackface. Yeah. It just looked like a little chocolate cupcake with two eyes and brown hair and chocolate. I mean it was brown hair for sprinkles but

1:29:35 What triggered me was I read five stars, in five stars, not four stars. And then I was like, is that what the sign says on the cupcake? Because it had a little title to the cupcake, but it ended up being train conductor. But I'm just going to show you. It's all can be triggered. It's easy for sure. But who does the virtue signaling? Who does the retweeting of this? Most of the time, it's not black people that go around and do white guilt. Or you average everyday black people. No, white people.

CHAPTER 23 / 31 Discussion

Radical Black Women and the Business of Guilt

The founders of Safety Pin Box describe their work as "radical" and a legitimate business model based on market demand for white atonement. The hosts find the concept of "putting money in a black woman's pocket" as a form of reparations to be insulting to the history of the struggle. They argue that such grifters destabilize the work of legitimate activists on the ground.

reparations· business model· hbo· social justice· activism

1:30:12 All right, so there's one more clip, Kit Spah. So what is it about white people that they also require you to give them a box of things to do? Why did they write you the check? Yeah, I mean, you could just write the check. I think for us, one, it's about actually providing a service that people are asking for. So there's a market, and that's really when we talk about it being a business, it's a business model because there's a need. And I say all the time, like, had white people got their shit together and actually provided this for themselves, we wouldn't have a business model right now. And so here we are providing this service for them. The most radical politics are sometimes the simplest ones. Say to Pinbox's message to guilty whites, if you want to do something, put money in a black woman's pocket. And I just would say, you know, we never pretended to be anything but radical black women. And so we're going to do some radical shit and we'll see what happens. It's insulting, man. You or me? Both. I'm like, so yeah.

1:31:13 To go back to the conversation you had about on your best behavior, don't ask for anything. So this goes totally against what ordinary everyday black people were taught growing up. You don't never seem like you need something. Right, so if someone then looks at you and says, well, you're black, seems like you need something, here, let me put some money in your pocket, black lady. That must be just incredibly insulting. I would be highly insulted, but the fact that she's building a business model off of this is just... Hold on, I got a memo to self-cancel HBO. Okay, all right.

1:31:59 Crazy Adam, I'm feeling triggered right now, please. Okay, what more do you want? You know how bad that is for the people and I want to make this clear there's people out here that's doing legit work on the ground trying to bring about and correct the problems of Of they yeah the problems of day. I What when people see this it just totally destabilizes and deflates what they're trying to do The actual legit people. Well, yeah, of course and these people are not fighting the real issue They're not fighting the real white supremacy the real ruling class the the one world government They're they're fighting each other over stupidity. They're mimicking it. Yes, even better. Yes, you're right so

CHAPTER 24 / 31 Discussion

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the Grifter Model

Shelby Steele and the hosts criticize Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for building careers out of "manipulating white guilt." They contrast Jackson’s early 1970s focus on family and education with his later "shakedown" tactics against corporations. Al Sharpton is described as a "street guy" and former FBI informant who was elevated by MSNBC to activate voters through racial tension.

jesse jackson· al sharpton· operation push· msnbc· fbi informant· tawana brawley

1:33:02 Where would they learn something like this from? White guilt dangers. But the civil rights establishment, which has rigidified, gotten worse. Jesse Jackson used to be, when back in the early 70s, I used to go to his Operation Push in Chicago, and he was talking about turning the TV off at home and keeping the family together and assisting on homework and reading and had a book rental program and all that. He was great. He says none of that now. And he gets so much money and attention from manipulating white guilt. And he's so good at it. I mean, he's a virtuoso of it. He has gotten billions of dollars from American corporations who he threatens to stigmatize if they don't pay up.

1:33:58 And when you're rewarding somebody with billions of dollars, it's hard to break that habit. So, you know, he's a good example of where white guilt really is a dangerous thing. Yes, and this is a business model carried on by Reverend Al Sharpton and who was the new guy we had on the we were talking about on the show a couple episodes. D. Ray McKesson and Sean King. Yes, well D. Ray. No, was there someone else? It was Sean King because they were fighting over the turf. Right, right. The turf beef. Right. This is now

1:34:39 Dvorak and I have called this out on NOAAgenda many times going back, you know, a decade. This is what this guy is doing. But never really... we always looked at it from the despicable enrichment that he's doing for himself and probably just stayed away from the race argument. But of course, this is exactly what it is. It's abusing racial history for his own good and and honestly man I see a lot of black people fawning over over both these reverends and that to me is disgusting. Keyword reverend. Yeah yes yes yes. Reverend Michael Eric Dyson he's another one. Like when you get into that

1:35:33 Who was it? Who was it? Because I know that we we've either talked about it or you sent me something I read about it someone it was somewhere as long as that we should get the get the reverence. Ah, come on. Sanger. Ah, was it Margaret Sanger? Uh-huh. That's right. The founder of Planned Parenthood and the American Eugenics Society. Not in that order. Yes, the one and only. Right. She said she wants to gain the trust. And another white person Of the definitely the white supremacy. I'm sure that she was a part of that. Yes, and Planned Parenthood itself is part of that system. I mean, so and that's what the weird what they call a weird flex is.

1:36:19 You got liberals on the same side of these organizations that are historically bad for the people that you claim to represent. So it's like it sends your mind into this crazy like... It brain frees, it brain frees. You can't process it. Yeah, it's a short. You can't process it. It's a short. Short circuit, exactly. And when you talk to people, it's like, don't you see this? And we have, I'm like, you have links and YouTube videos and quote copies of quotes. And it's like, I don't get it. And then they'll tell you, I have to vote. I can't not vote. Right. I can't, you know, or I can't, you don't have an option because one, this is aside, one as black people, you can't not vote. And then two, you can't vote Republican. So you don't have a choice.

1:37:04 So then you just live with this and then you have people speaking on your behalf, gaining the benefits and resources as we've seen with the people in this white kit guilt, white guilt kits, and then learn from the behavior from the Jesse Jacksons of the world. And then the money never reaches us and we're like, what the hell? And the, you know, just stopping for a second, And Al Sharpton is more in the picture now with this business model than Jesse Jackson. The fawning and the authority assigned to this nincompoop, this seriously illiterate man, he cannot speak a single word properly.

1:37:51 is unbelievable. I mean, I see it. I've always said, why? And of course, I was in New York with the Tawana Brawley case, you know, when Al Sharpton was five times the Al Sharpton he is now in size. It was, you know, the whole thing, his whole career has been baffling to me. And the media part of the, we'll call it the white supremacy establishment, because it is, Mm-hmm is in lockstep. It's disturbing. It's always been disturbing to me, but it's not baffling to me because of one word activation if you can activate the vote

1:38:37 That's all that matters. If you can activate the streets, and that's what him and he was more actually more successful than Jesse Jackson because Jesse Jackson actually did come up somewhat through the civil rights movement where Al Sharpton, he was more of like a kind of street guy. Yeah, it's a hoodlum. Right. He was an FBI informant. He's all kinds of creep. This guy's no good. He's a gangster. Right, but he can activate the streets and MSNBC saw that he had a skill set. Yeah That they could they could exploit and and he and he used it But it's getting back to the white guilt-ridden people. I know the men the women are feeling left out I mean the men are feeling left out because we have white guilt kits for women and

Mistress Velvet and BDSM Racial Domination

A BuzzFeed clip introduces "Mistress Velvet," a dominatrix who incorporates black feminist theory into her BDSM sessions with white men. She requires her "slaves" to write essays on intersectional texts as a way to process their white guilt. The hosts express shock and disgust, arguing that the power dynamic is actually inverted because the white men are paying for a curated experience that makes them feel better.

1:39:27 For men, we have something for you. It's very wonderful to be a black femme whipping a white man. My name is Mistress Velvet. I've been a dominatrix for four years and a goddess my whole life. The core of my domination style is that I force slaves to read black feminist theory. My very first slave I had ended up being like, you are such a nice, kind and smart person but you will never be a Dom. And that like really upset me. Thank you. And I was like, no, I don't want any white man telling me that there's something I can't do. And so it kind of pushed me to like do a lot of research around BDSM and kind of cultivate myself as a Dom and what that meant for me.

1:40:22 Is this also from HBO? Where's this coming from? BuzzFeed! So let me get this straight. So it's black women who dominate BDSM with, I guess, bondage and whips, etc. and domination. White men because they need that and it makes them feel good? Not only that, but she makes them read black feminist books. You missed that part. Now I know what they say by make America great again. Right. Pay to.

1:41:01 How it all started in terms of me kind of like now building a curriculum of black feminist theory for slaves was one slave came into our sessions with a lot of emotional baggage and lots of white guilt. And so I just turned to the people I trust. I turned to Patricia Hill Collins and Audre Lorde and was like, these are some texts and readings that have been really powerful for me and shaped my thinking around things. Why don't you try reading Audre Lorde and see like how it makes you feel? And while you're at it, write me like a thousand words. I couldn't even look at an essay. Could you bring me my phone? I will probably read...

1:41:42 This last paragraph of this essay that I got yesterday. I am very aware of the real capacity and potential of black women, not only physical but intellectual and emotional. It is my obligation to pass this knowledge to as many people as possible, making the word of Mistress Velvet a fact and rule among Latin males too. the knowledge, passing, spreading the knowledge of Mistress Velvet all across the world. It's kind of funny. Nice touch to bring in the Latinos. Nice touch. Very nice touch. Oh man. Do you realize what you're hearing, Adam?

1:42:23 I'm hearing some crazy shit is what I'm hearing right here. This is guilt gone bad, man. This is very... Go, go away! This is keeping it real goes wrong. Exactly. Holy crap. What we're hearing is a white man is paying a black woman. So that's a form of power structure in itself. Yeah. To pretend that she has power over him to rid him of his guilt. Did you catch all that? Which he's paying for, which really makes the circle completely round and changes nothing. Which actually says he's in power. Yes. Oh man. Just for, I know sex sales, but just for that purpose of that, I had to add the clip in the show. Because it was like, what? How do you realize he's paying you

CHAPTER 26 / 31 Discussion

Fetishizing Oppression and Personal Reparations

Mistress Velvet explains that her clients' payments help fund her life and pay back her student loans, which she views as a form of personal reparations. The hosts mock the idea that a white man paying for a "racial domination" fantasy constitutes a clean slate or a solution to systemic issues. They find the re-appropriation of the word "slave" in this context to be deeply problematic.

reparations· student loans· fetishization· bdsm· racial trauma

1:43:28 Yeah, to play along in the capacity that he wants you to play along to make him feel good for 30 minutes or an hour, whatever he's paying for. And then go on his merry way. And how long did the homework last? Oh, we laugh with it so sad. It's sad if you have to laugh to keep crying. Yeah. Pay three. Yes, please. I need more of this. What mistress helped me see with the black feminist theory and readings was how much deeper Everything goes and how much deeper and how much more I owe being a white man and benefiting from this system of privilege and oppression. I definitely fetishized mistress at first. I've done a lot of work to really try to unpack that and unlearn the fetishization. For those that have like a weird fetish of like blackness and black women, they're gonna really eat that up.

1:44:29 And so I kind of have this like weird dual relationship with my fetishization where I use it to get clients, but then I want to process through it with them as well. I remember one time I went to a play party and I opened the door and this white person says, hey, you wanna be my slave? I'm just like immediately blown away about the depth of that word and their inability to recognize how, like the weight of saying that to a black person when it in the past has been used by white people to talk about black people and enslaved Africans and now I'm being able to re-appropriate that word and call my white men slaves and it feels really powerful in that way.

1:45:11 My slaves pay my rent. They help me pay my student loans back. You know, they're like funding my life. I don't want to undermine the fact that black people in the US and in Africa are owed a significant amount of reparations. But I find myself trying to get some of that with my clients. Okay, reparations. I was waiting for it. There it is. She invokes it and it's discussed, like I said, completely disgusting. I'm just gonna leave that there. I'm gonna need a shower. What? That's crazy. This is your way of getting reparate? Yeah. Oh, one thing I wanted to say. This is why we need reparations. And the reason why I say that, this is why I'm a big supporter of reparations. Because it wipes the slate clean. After this point, no more guilt, no more, you know,

CHAPTER 27 / 31 Discussion

ADOS and the Case for Systematic Reparations

The discussion turns to the serious proposal for reparations for American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS). One host argues that reparations should serve as a "cleanser" to wipe the slate clean and end the cycle of guilt. They critique current affirmative action in Ivy League schools as a "token" system and suggest that capital should instead be used to build infrastructure and schools in black communities from the ground up.

ados· marianne williamson· affirmative action· ivy league· capital· atonement

1:46:06 It's like a atonement. It's a cleanser. That way, from our side, we can say, you know, we've been, I'm speaking for ADOS, we've been compensated. Anybody else, they have to deal with America in their capacity or however they want to deal with it. And white people won't have to feel any more guilt for the past sins of the 400 years. Well, first for people who are new to the show, Ados, American descendant of slavery. So there's a differentiator in this and that's important in this. But of course,

1:46:42 That doesn't solve the actual problem, because as we have unfolded here, white supremacy is a one-world global government that continues to rule and will continue to use race to divide and conquer. Although it may provide for a temporary cleansing, such as the black mistress whipping the white slave, it won't actually fix anything other than, I think it'd be, to me, it sounds like it may be a 50-year fix or a five-month fix, I don't know, but it doesn't actually solve the problem of white supremacy. No, no, no, you can't, no, it won't solve that problem. I'm talking about the animosity or the, that negative guilt. Oh, that's really interesting.

1:47:35 Okay, so I think that's where Marianne Williams was coming from. If only she would say it that way. You just said it in one sentence. It was really simple. Right, it's atonement is what it is. So this is like if I owe you a thousand dollars, once I pay you, the guilt is gone. But then it's like, I mean, I hear where you're coming from, but we just went through this whole thing where you know, that's the dumb American way is, oh let me just pay some money and I'll be rid of it. But you're not. Well, it's not money, that's the thing about it. It has to be capital, but it has to be thought done in a thoughtful way. And the reason why I know we're probably gonna go long, but this is a very neat conversation.

1:48:23 Look at affirmative action. So in one of the clips I didn't use of Shelby Steele, he was saying Ivy League schools leave 8% of each class open for minorities, black minorities, right? If you have poor schools in your community, you're not gonna be able to fill up that 8% with adequate candidates. So then you have to lower the standards which makes it even makes the problem worse because then you feel like a token quote-unquote token and you feel a Guilt, it's another kind of guilt black people feel like I'm only here because I know it's right because yeah, right so what I'm saying is you take that money you fix the schools at the elementary level you actually put that capital to work where

1:49:18 You have enough candidates that you fill the 8% spots with actual adequate candidates. That's the problem. But see, when you threw money at the problem with the Great Society, I know people like, he's saying one thing, it didn't fix nothing. It didn't fix anything. It, double negative, I know. It didn't fix anything. It only- Well, the worst, worst affirmative action was hijacked. That's a whole nother show for a whole nother day. But it's true, affirmative action was hijacked. It's very true. We held the door open while everybody else went in.

1:49:59 Yes. Yeah. So, okay, and I don't want to dwell on too long on this, but I think we've talked about reparations before. In fact, that's part of how we met is me trying to understand what was going on in Congress with ADOS and reparations and, you know, which it hasn't really moved much further since we started talking about it. And I know, so you're for reparations and it has to be capital, but you can't trust any government to put the capital to good work. In fact, that's the weak part of Marianne Williamson's argument. She's like, oh, we'll put a panel together and the panel will decide where it goes. And you know, that's when my eyes roll back in my head like, okay, that's a bonanza. That won't do any good. And so I think that's why you're saying, oh, it should just be a check, a big check. Every ADOS person gets a check and then we're done. Even-steven, clean slate.

CHAPTER 28 / 31 Discussion

Eliminating the Middleman Grifters

The hosts conclude that no current politician, including Marianne Williamson, has a sound plan for reparations because they rely on "panels" and bureaucracy. They argue that the goal should be to eliminate "middleman grifters" like Sharpton and Jackson by having direct, honest conversations between citizens. They emphasize that these "a-holes" profit by playing different races against each other.

political landscape· soundbites· grifters· dialogue· honesty

1:50:57 Well, I'm not saying only a check. There will have to be some money involved, scholarships, to private schools on the elementary level. You have to build that ground floor. It's gonna have to be a generation where you build that ground floor. You just can't say, oh yeah, we're gonna open up Ivy League, 8% of the spots and not build a community from the bottom up. This is the whole bullet town, the 10 things like, oh yeah, we'll let 10% in to Ivy League schools and then they'll do right by the bottom. That doesn't work. Who in your mind in the political landscape has the right idea in your mind for reparations? Who is representing your thinking? I haven't heard anybody. And that's what I was afraid of. No. Because it's not a soundbite. It's not. I mean, it's going to take actual work.

1:52:01 Because either you have two schools of thought, we need government programs and no check, or just cut the check only. And it's gonna have to be a hybrid system of both of those things to solve the problem. But I mean, we'll talk about that on another day cuz like I said, it's just so big of a problem that Well let's just go back to how we started on this, which is the idea that if we just do something, let's just call it this, if we do something big enough, what I'm hearing you, black American Moe, saying to white American Adam is, if we just make it big enough and significant, or significant enough, maybe that's the right word, then black people would say, white people you're off the hook.

1:52:52 It's not black people that are saying you own the hook, it's these grifters. What we're trying to do is eliminate the grifters. Well, see they're speaking on our behalf. Right the the Jesse Jackson's the so what black people stand up So you're the only guy I don't know you're one of the few I know but you're the only guy I know is saying Jesse Jackson is a grifter Al Sharpton's a grifter There's not a lot of people standing up saying that mo. I say actually Jesse Jackson was ran out of Ferguson You know the news just don't tell you yes. Thank you Thank you. So, okay

1:53:31 So I feel very good now because I feel like I am contributing with a podcast Mm-hmm and we're contributing something by opening the dialogue and just being able to talk about it like Americans which is to me quite easy But the warning is these people these a-holes over here. Those are the ones you got to look out for you got to be careful of And yeah, because they're you they're playing us off each other. They're playing me. They're speaking on my behalf to use an atom right kick kick in chip in chip. Right. And then it never comes back to me. And then we're like, what the hell? Gotcha. You know, so if you say we get together, have a conversation like, hey, look, we're going to do ABC. It takes the power away from those the middle, the middle traders.

1:54:24 And there's a lot of them, there's a lot of them Moe. There's a lot trading on this, a lot in entertainment, a lot of very influential people and they're all part of the problem. And that's why I call them disgusting. I mean that's the word for the day, they're disgusting. Disgusting, yeah. Because, so I want to end on a high note. I know we got, you know... We're not done yet are we? I'm having a good time. Okay, no, I mean let's, okay. Even the kids aren't safe. Especially the kids aren't safe. What are you talking about? They're the future. Eighth grader. We end tonight with a poem written and performed by an Atlanta teenager this past spring, but it's been getting new attention from millions after the violence that shook America last week. Here's Mark Strassman. My name is Royce and my poem is titled White Boy Privilege.

CHAPTER 29 / 31 Discussion

White Boy Privilege Poetry and Socialism

A viral poem titled "White Boy Privilege" by 14-year-old Royce Mann is criticized by the hosts as a form of "child abuse" and indoctrination. They argue that the push for everyone to have "privilege" is a gateway to socialism, which they claim ultimately pulls everyone down to a lower standard of living while maintaining a hidden ruling class.

royce mann· poetry slam· socialism· child abuse· equality· ruling class

1:55:21 White boy privilege was an entry in a school poetry contest. To be honest, I'm scared of what it would be like if I wasn't on the top rung, if the tables were turned and I didn't have my white boy privilege safety blankie to protect me. Roisman's message was a plea from a 14-year-old white male going to a private school in Atlanta. Let everyone share his privileges. I love it because when I see a police officer, I see someone who's on my side. I'm just trying to be truthful and about like how I wouldn't trade places with somebody and that I think a lot of people sometimes aren't so truthful about that. Racial divisions seared America last week. After Minnesota, Baton Rouge and Dallas, man's poems struck a nerve online.

1:56:10 Many loved it. Others attacked him. More than 8 million people have seen it. Everyone should have the privileges that I have. In fact, they should be rights instead. Everyone's story should be written, so all they have to do is get it read. I get that change can be scary, but equality shouldn't be. I'm not asking anybody to give up their lives to fight for equality. I have other dreams too. I'm just asking you to try to be an ally. Do your share. When you see something that you think is wrong, this discrimination, speak up. It's time to let go of that fear. It's time to take that ladder and turn it into a bridge. He also won that poetry contest. Mark Strassman, CBS News, Atlanta. Child abuse. Child abuse. You took the words right out of my mouth. And I'm not going to harp on this kid because it would only be further to child abuse. But come on. Yeah.

1:57:10 Doesn't that make you feel like despair if that's what's going on? That's the future. That's what's being created. It does to me. I don't know how, you know what, when he understands how the world really works, and you can tell he does it, and what we're doing is condoning, highlighting children, and not only him, I'm just gonna make this a bigger issue, if they don't understand how the world works, and they would say, if you want everybody to have privilege,

1:57:46 then that's not privilege. Now what we should want is justice and no bachelors. Oh stop, oh stop, shoot. Okay, it just hit me. If we want everyone to have privilege, there's no privilege. You know what that's called, Mo? Socialism. What's that? Socialism. It's what we're moving towards and that and so this white guilt is a huge driver of the young people being without knowing exactly what it is. I've lived in socialist countries. There's good. There's a lot of not so good or stuff. I don't like but for sure.

1:58:24 Everyone becomes equal and then everyone is really it pulls everybody down doesn't elevate nothing yeah You're happy you're happy you're 200 200 square foot apartment with your two pair of Lulu lemon underwear Lulu lemon socks in your bunk bed in your bunk bed right here your bunk bed and That's what they're preparing them for. But it's like you have to trick them in their mind. But as we all know with any communist or socialist regime, there's always a ruling class. Oh yeah. Which goes back to the original statement of the elite or empire. It's just a different kind of empire. Yes. There you have it. Wow.

CHAPTER 30 / 31 Discussion

Final Reflections on the Common Enemy

The hosts summarize the episode by identifying the "ruling class" as the common enemy of all mankind. They play a clip from comedian Bill Burr mocking "white savior" movies to highlight the absurdity of modern racial narratives. They call for a return to honesty and fair competition, urging listeners to use the internet as a tool for truth rather than division.

1:59:15 So I loved and this is not quite what I expected. I didn't know exactly what to expect from this show I really liked where we took this and I really liked that from the outset, you know, and this is the basis of the show we both agree there's a ruling class there's personified by certain people and they are the supremacy and they're most likely all white and So, you know, but we can say supremacy with certainty and it's the enemy of all mankind. They're the enemy of justice. Remember that the opposition to this is justice. Give me a fair shot. Call the game fair as a sports analogy and let me compete. That's all we're asking for. That's all we're asking for.

2:00:08 So, we're wrapping up here and I want to end the show on a joke, if you don't mind. Sure. Although there's been some pretty funny shit going on in this show. I don't know if anything can top the white guilt kit. On an actual joke. Okay. Number 30. Oh, sorry. Here we go. No, I'm not saying white people aren't evil either, because I know we're evil. I got that evil in me. I do. That's why I can feel it. That's why I try to suppress it. I try to dress casual, you know what I mean? I'm serious man, I tried a suit on the other day, I felt it coming up like fuck man, I want to take over some shit, right? I want to start telling people what to do, I want to go pollute a lake, blame it on my secretary, you know? Dude, I don't even like those movies when they make black and white people get along man, even those ones seem ridiculous, you know? Because there always has to be like some sort of lesson in those movies just like, you know, I never looked at it that way! Just like that in

2:01:08 happens you know anytime I've ever hung out with a black dude at no point during the evening is he like trying to like teach me how to dance you know that interracial footloose moment they always have to have in those movies I never go to his neighborhood and like try to like save a school you know how many times are they gonna make that movie you know that movie the white person goes into the projects they just have to make a difference you know they just made that movie again with uh was it Hillary Swank it's like did you even need to go see it It's like, let me guess, she shows up and they don't accept her, right? And she goes home, she cries to her feminine boyfriend who's wearing sweatpants and he's cooking something for some reason, right? And he convinces her, he convinces her to give it one more chance, right? So then she goes back down there, she starts drawing out their inner beauty, next thing you know they put a do-rag on her, she starts fucking dancing, and it's just embarrassing for all races involved for the fucking movie.

2:02:13 Phil Burr, man, he's fantastic. There's a number of really good comedians who are doing some great stuff now. He's definitely one of them. And that's why we gotta have honesty. Well, honestly it's great. Yeah, it's the funniest part. Exactly. And there's none of that. And it brings attention to what's really going on. Oh wow, Moe. This has been really good. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this with you and I think that this is just the beginning of this show, really, of the stuff that we can get into. And I hope that everyone who has been listening

2:02:49 understands that we have a common enemy in this and they're not always that visible but definitely we have a common enemy and they have very powerful tools, tools such as television, tools such as well the this is the beauty of the internet is it is being used for great evil Currently, but there's a lot of great good and if anyone just invests a little bit of time a little bit of effort a little bit of energy You too can do what we're doing. It's not all that hard You just have to want to do it and just be fucking honest for a change I got to go order my white guilt kit here. Thank you so much for putting this together Moe I really enjoy it as you know
