WHILE ALL THE CHAOS HAPPENS AROUND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
HE IS SPEAKING SOME LONESOME PEOPLE INTO THE GOVERNMENT.
SO WHY SNEAK HIM IN?
WHAT DOES HE THINK?
HE WORKED FOR A FORMER
ADMINISTRATION.
HE MUST BE A RESPECTABLE GUY
RIGHT?
ARE WE STILL HAVING A CONVERSATION?
THAT GUY IS GOING TO BE IN CHARGE OF FEDERAL
SENTENCING GUIDELINES, AND LATER, THEY WILL TELL US
THERE'S NO SYSTEMIC RACISM.
THE GUY LITERALLY SAID BLACKS AND HISPANICS ARE MORE
VIOLENT THAN WHITES.
THAT IS PREPOSTEROUS.
IT IS COUNTER FACTUAL, IT IS NOT REMOTELY SCIENTIFIC AND
YES, IT IS RACIST, BUT LOOK, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT BOTH OF
THESE THINGS, BUT IF YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE RACISM FOR
SOME REASON, OKAY, YOU ARE A WEIRD PERSON, BUT YOU SHOULD
ALSO CARE THAT THE PERSON IS NOT VERY BRIGHT, SO I AM GOING
TO SHOW YOU THAT IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT LOOK,
SINCE THEY KEEP DOING THIS, THE RIGHT WING KEEPS SAYING BLACKS
AND LATINOS ARE MORE VIOLENT, LET ME EXPLAIN THE COUNTERPOINT.
I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GENETIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
RACES LIKE THEY DO, BECAUSE I AM NOT RACIST.
THEY ARE RACIST.
THEY BELIEVE IN JUDGING PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR RACE, WHICH
IS THE DEFINITION OF RACISM.
I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHITE PEOPLE.
OF COURSE, BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS.
BUT IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH AND
SAY, WHICH RACE HAS BEEN MORE VIOLENT?
IS THAT CLOSE?
ARE YOU HAVING CONFUSION OVER WHICH RACE THAT WOULD BE?
IT WOULD OVERWHELMINGLY BE THE WHITE RACE.
HOW MANY THINGS DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH?
FIRST OFF, IN THIS COUNTRY, WAS IT BLACKS WHO VIOLENTLY
ENSLAVED WHITES?
NO, IT WAS WHITES WHO VIOLENTLY ENSLAVED BLACKS,
AND THEN THEY HAD THE TEMERITY TO LOOK AT THEIR SLAVES,
WHICH THEY VIOLENTLY CAPTURED AND WHIPPED AND BEAT AND RAPED
AND MURDERED AND LYNCHED AND SAY, THEY ARE THE VIOLENT ONES.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RECORD OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
AMERICAS WHEN THE CONQUISTADORS CAME HERE?
AND WHAT THEY DID TO THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION?
AND THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION WAS THE VIOLENT ONES?
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
AND THEN WE HAVE EVERY OTHER CRIME YOU COULD LIST.
WORLD WAR I, EUROPE.
WORLD WAR II, EUROPE.
I WONDER WHO STARTED ALL THE WORLD WARS?
THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR, THE CRUSADES, THE HOLOCAUST.
YOU COULD GO ON AND ON.
DOES THAT MEAN WHITES ARE ACTUALLY
MORE
VIOLENT GENETICALLY THAN BLACKS OR HISPANICS?
NO.
A PERSON WHO HAS EVEN A TINY BIT OF INTELLECT UNDERSTANDS THAT
THERE ARE HISTORICAL, SOCIETAL, EVEN GEOGRAPHIC INFLUENCES,
POLITICAL INFLUENCES, ECONOMIC INFLUENCES AND THE LIST GOES ON
AND ON AND THAT IS WHY YOU GET THE WAR THAT YOU HAVE AND THE
ACTIONS THAT HAPPEN IN HISTORY, BUT THIS GUY WHO APPARENTLY
IS SO STUPID, HE GOES, I GOT IT.
IT IS THE BLACKS AND LATINOS WHO ARE VIOLENT AGAINST US
POOR WHITE PEOPLE.
JESUS, AND HE HASN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE ASIANS YET.
HE IS IN TROUBLE FOR WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE ASIANS, WE
WILL GET TO THAT IN THE SECOND.
SO HIS THESIS IS BLACKS AND LATINOS CHOOSE TO BE
VIOLENT AND WHITES DON'T CHOOSE TO BE VIOLENT.
OKAY, DO ECONOMICS, FOR EXAMPLE, PLAY A ROLE?
NO, IT IS JUST THE RACE, MAN.
I FIGURED IT OUT.
THIS GUY IS IN CHARGE OF SENTENCING IF HE GETS CONFIRMED.
LET ME SHOW YOU JUST ONE, I COULD SHOW YOU 1
BILLION, BUT LET ME SHOW YOU ONE FACT ABOUT SO-CALLED CHOICES.
A MEDIAN TWO-PARENT BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA HAS A NET
WEALTH OF $16,000.
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE BORN INTO.
A MEDIAN TWO PARENT WHITE FAMILY IN AMERICA HAS A NET WEALTH OF
$161,300.
I CAN DO THE MATH FOR YOU, THAT IS 10 TIMES.
ONE SIDE GETS TO MAKE EASY ECONOMIC CHOICES.
BY THE WAY, THIS IS NOT AVERAGE.
IF YOU ARE A POOR GUY IN THE MIDDLE OF WEST VIRGINIA,
YOU DON'T HAVE $160,000.
I KNOW THAT, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AVERAGES HERE.
YOU
MIGHT HAVE IT HARD.
YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW HARD THE OTHER SIDE HAS IT.
ONE SIDE GETS TO MAKES CHOICES ON AVERAGE, MAYBE GETS GO
TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL, COLLEGE OF YOUR CHOICE, GET TO HAVE
HEALTHCARE AND JOBS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
GETS TO HAVE JOBS PASSED DOWN BY YOUR DAD, THE OTHER SIDE
DOESN'T HAVE THESE CHOICES BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
MONEY AND THEN YOU DON'T TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT, YOU JUST
GO I GOT IT, IT IS RACE.
IT IS DEFINITELY RACE.
THIS IS WHAT STUPID PEOPLE DO, BUT HE IS NOT DONE YET.
HERE IS WHAT WILLIAM OTIS SAID ABOUT ASIANS.
BUCKLE UP.
THIS GUY IS AN ADJUNCT LAW PROFESSOR AT GEORGETOWN.
DOES ANYONE WANT TO PULL HIM INSIDE AND SAY, FIRST OF ALL,
IDIOT, WE DON'T SAY ORIENTALS ANYMORE.
PEOPLE SAID THAT DECADES AGO.
PEOPLE ARE NOW OFFENDED BY THAT.
WHETHER YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE, YOU HAVE ASIAN STUDENTS
THAT GO TO GEORGETOWN.
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAVE ASIAN PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY.
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP CALLING THEM THAT?
IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR.
TO ME THAT IS THE SMALLER PART OF THE PROBLEM OF THE REAL
ISSUE.
THE LARGER PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THIS GENIUS HAS IT ALL
FIGURED OUT.
BLACKS, LATINOS, BAD.
ORIENTALS, GOOD.
IF YOU WERE TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT FOR THE SECOND MOST VIOLENT RACE
IN HUMAN HISTORY, WOULD IT INCLUDE THE MONGOLS?
WHO I THINK ARE ASIAN.
WOULD IT INCLUDE THE JAPANESE WHO WERE ALSO PART OF WORLD
WAR II,
AND INVADED CHINA AND THE KOREAS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I MEAN, REALLY, YOU HAVE TO TEACH THEM ALL OF HISTORY.
YOU THINK THAT THE CHINESE DIDN'T HAVE WARS OVER AND
OVER AGAIN?
DOES THIS MEAN ASIAN ARE ACTUALLY MORE VIOLENT THAN
BLACKS OR
LATINOS?
OF COURSE NOT, WE ARE ALL HOMO SAPIENS, WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS
THE SUM OF THE GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, ECONOMICS, POLITICS
ETC.
OF THAT ERA CAUSED A LOT OF VIOLENCE IN ASIA.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE MONGOLS.
THEY WERE NOMADIC PEOPLE, SO WERE BY THE WAY, THE
SCOTTISH AND THE VIKINGS, AND WHAT DID THEY DO?
WAR AFTER WAR AFTER WAR BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF BEING
NOMADS AND HOW IT ENCOURAGED RAIDS.
THAT IS WHY THE MONGOLS ENDED UP DOING A LOT OF BARBARIC THINGS.
THEY ALSO WOULD UP HAVING A GIANT EMPIRE THAT HAD A BUNCH OF
UPSIDES BUT YES, THERE WAS TERRIBLE BARBARISM THERE, BUT
THIS GUY BOILS DOWN TO ORIENTALS, GOOD.
WHITES, GOOD.
BLACKS AND LATINOS BAD, BECAUSE THEY ARE VIOLENT.
THE PAINFUL IDIOCY OF THE RIGHT WING IS UNREAL.
THESE PEOPLE ARE TAKING HIM LIKE HE IS A SCHOLAR.
BY THE WAY, GEORGETOWN, YOU OUGHT TO BE EMBARRASSED.
HOW IS THIS GUY ON YOUR FACULTY?
THAT IS DEEPLY EMBARRASSING.
YOU CAN SAY YOU ARE GOING BACK TO THE CRUSADES, THE MONGOLS BUT
THE ASIANS HERE ARE GOOD.
LAST THING HERE.
FIRST OF ALL, LET'S GIVE YOU SOME FACTS ABOUT ASIANS
IN AMERICA.
DOES THAT MEAN ASIANS ARE MORE VIOLENT?
OF COURSE NOT.
DOES THAT MEAN ASIAN GENES SUDDENLY
CHANGED
IN THE 1990S?
OF COURSE NOT.
IT COULD HAVE TO DO WITH MIGRATION PATTERNS.
MORE ASIANS CAME FROM ASIAN COUNTRIES LIKE VIETNAM AND
LAOS WHO ARE MORE ECONOMICALLY DEPRIVED AND POOR AND THE
ECONOMY,THEIR ECONOMIC CONDITION LED TO CRIME MORE
THAN THEIR GENETIC PREDISPOSITION.
AS AN EXAMPLE, AND FINALLY THING ON THIS EXAMPLE,
BECAUSE I THINK IT IS AN INTERESTING AND ILLUSTRIOUS ONE.
I HAPPEN TO BE TURKISH AMERICAN.
IN THE CONCEPTION OF
THE RIGHT WING MY GENETICS PREDISPOSE ME TO CERTAIN
THINGS AND I AM EITHER VIOLENT OR NONVIOLENT, EITHER RICH OR
POOR, I MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES OR THE WRONG CHOICES, RIGHT?
IN REALITY, TURKS IN AMERICA ARE ACTUALLY REALLY WELL-OFF.
THEY ARE AMONG THE WEALTHIEST MINORITIES IN THE COUNTRY.
TURKS IN GERMANY, SAME TURKS, GENETICALLY THE SAME, ARE
THE POOREST PEOPLE IN GERMANY.
WHY?
BECAUSE MOST OF THE TURKS IN AMERICA HAVE A PROFESSION.
IT WAS REALLY HARD TO IMMIGRATE TO THE UNITED STATES UNLESS
YOU HAD A PROFESSION, AT LEAST FROM TURKEY SO A LOT OF THEM ARE
ENGINEERS, BUSINESSMEN, DOCTORS, LAWYERS, SO BECAUSE OF THOSE
SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS THEY HAPPEN TO BE WEALTHY IN AMERICA.
IN GERMANY, IT WAS EASY TO EMIGRATE FROM TURKEY TO
GERMANY AND THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAD NO JOBS AND REALLY
DESPERATELY NEEDED THE JOB SO BAD THEY WOULD MOVE THEIR WHOLE
FAMILY ACROSS THE CONTINENT WOULD DRIVE FROM TURKEY TO
GERMANY AND GET JOBS THERE, SO THAT WAS A SOCIOECONOMIC
CONDITION THAT CREATED A POORER CLASS IN GERMANY AND A
WEALTHY CLASS IN AMERICA, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME TURKS.
IT JUST MIGHT HAVE TO DO A SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND NOT
RACE, BUT YOU KEEP HAVING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO PEOPLE, AND
WHAT IS HILARIOUS IS THAT SOME OF THE RIGHT-WING PEOPLE
WILL LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE AND CALL THEM SCHOLARS AND
THINK THAT THEY ARE INTELLECTUALS.
THEY ARE NOTHING OF THE SORT.
THEY ARE THROWBACKS WHO ARE EMBARRASSINGLY UNINTELLIGENT.
AND I GUESS IT'S APPROPRIATE, SOON GOING TO THE TRUMP
WHITE HOUSE.
