The cultural decay of urban America demands our honest attention. This raw, unfiltered conversation tackles the systematic destruction of the nuclear family and its devastating consequences across communities—particularly in urban centers.
Starting with a viral incident in Cincinnati, we examine how decades of well-intentioned but catastrophic welfare policies have transformed poverty from a temporary hardship into a subsidized state of permanence. Since the 1960s, we've witnessed the collapse of two-parent households from 80% to just 20% in some communities, creating generations raised without crucial boundaries and guidance.
Most striking is the counterintuitive reality that during the Great Depression, crime rates actually decreased across all demographics despite extreme economic hardship. Why? Because families remained intact, pulling together through adversity rather than fracturing under it. This reveals a profound truth: poverty itself doesn't cause social dysfunction—the breakdown of family structure does.
The absence of fathers creates ripple effects through all aspects of child development. Young men grow up without essential boundaries, while young women often seek validation in unhealthy ways, perpetuating cycles of early parenthood. Meanwhile, popular culture has shifted from celebrations of love and resilience to glorifications of dysfunction, creating a toxic feedback loop affecting youth across all backgrounds.
The path forward requires courage—speaking honestly about cultural issues while distinguishing between race and destructive cultural patterns that can affect anyone. Real compassion means restoring personal agency by phasing out programs that subsidize family breakdown, rebuilding cultures that value responsibility, and reintroducing the concept of healthy shame as a social regulator.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Happy Monday everybody.
It's a little late in the dayfor me to be doing this, but I
just wanted to think about it asthe day went on, because I'm
going to touch on some touchyareas.
Touch on some touchy areas Wasthat redundant A little bit.
Anyway, we're going to talktoday.
We're going to discuss.
Where do I want to begin thisdiscussion?
(00:23):
I do this all extemporaneously,so now I'm reorganizing my
thoughts In Cincinnati today.
Let's start with an event thatkicked off my thought process.
In Cincinnati today, or I thinkit was yesterday evening, a mob
beat the living shit out of acouple, a man and a woman, beat
(00:45):
them nearly to death and it wasall caught on video and it's all
gone viral and it's gettingonly peripheral play in the
media, in other words, onlynon-traditional sources.
To their credit, news Nationhas been running with it, but
ABC, nbc, cbs if they ran it, itwas in passing.
(01:06):
And then no one's talking aboutthe obvious here, and this is
why I had to think about whetherI was going to discuss this
today.
But I think I can discuss thiswithout being accused of being a
racist, which is the line I'mgoing to walk right up against.
So just stay with me here.
The mob was black and thecouple was white, and you know,
(01:39):
that's why you're not going tohear a lot more about it beyond
today, and I don't want to getinto.
I don't want to get.
What do I want to say?
I do want to get into thereasons why the reasons it is
not important why the mob wasattacking the couple, because in
no other scenario would you seea mob doing this on an American
street anywhere, and they'redebating what to do about it,
which is just beyond my grasp.
So, this brought to mind, everytime I see something like this,
(02:06):
I don't want to get caught inthe weeds of discussing this
particular event over and over.
You see where I'm going to gowith this.
I'm going to talk about urbanblack culture and the complete
and total destruction of thatculture that's taken place and
the cancer that it's become andwhat we have to do about it.
(02:26):
So look, black people make up13% of the population of the
United States.
They commit 55% of the crimes.
Now I want to, before I getinto this discussion, okay, and
I'm going to relate a lot of myown personal experiences in
prison I want to make this very,very clear of who I'm talking
(02:50):
about here.
I want to make this line ashard and drawn in the sand well,
not even in the sand.
I want to put a brick wallbetween me and racism.
So listen to me carefully.
Half of black people in thiscountry live middle class to
wealthy.
This is not who I'm talkingabout.
I'm not talking about theapproximately 20 million
(03:13):
americans, black americans whoknow exactly how the system
works, play by the rules,participate in the culture, have
lots of friends cross-racially.
They, they're normal.
I don't even want to get intoadjectives, what's you know,
normal people.
That's denigrating, really.
They're just people, likeeverybody else.
Most people are just people.
(03:34):
One of the reasons that, inanti-politism, I make it that
the top third of income earnersare who are eligible to be
selected in the lottery processis specifically because when
someone has worked their way upregardless of how they did it,
whether it's through thebusiness, whether it's through a
profession and got into the topthird of income earners, they
(03:57):
could only have done that ifthey understood how the culture
worked and played by the rulesof the culture.
Therefore, they are mature andthat's why I also said a minimum
age.
They've reached an age and amaturity and a level of success
that breeds commonality ofvalues, and values are what's
wrong with this country At itsroot.
(04:19):
How we spent ourself into $37,$38 trillion in what we call
reported debt, but really, ifyou include Social Security and
Medicare, there's 100 trillionmore at least.
How we did this is a completebreakdown in culture.
By making voting universal andallowing everybody to vote, we
(04:45):
encourage the culture wherebasically those of us who know
how the game plays this is goingto be.
You know, this is either goingto be a brilliant or a stupid
metaphor.
I feel like we're all a bunchof elephants and we keep voting
for the lions to predate upon us.
You know it's like everyone'safraid to say it out loud, but
(05:10):
you know, let's talk aboutwhat's really going on here.
We're going to have to say thequiet part out loud.
We're going to have to startfacing what's wrong in our
culture, because if we don'thave an honest appraisal of what
the problem is in the firstplace, then coming up with a
plan to deal with it is notgoing to be possible.
I'm going to take a drink ofwater here real quick.
Notice that I said a plan todeal with it.
(05:30):
There are no solutions toanything.
As Thomas Sowell so famouslysaid, there are no solutions,
only trade-offs.
But let's talk about what'sgoing on here.
What's happened is beginning inthe early 1960s, when Lyndon
Johnson decided, or themid-1960s, that he was going to
cure poverty by throwing moneyat it.
He didn't appreciate that.
What he did is rob the entireblack community of all agency.
(05:53):
And then in came the racehustlers, the people who, after
the death of Martin Luther Kinghe was an exceptional man in a
situation.
But the movement itself, thecivil rights movement, has
become a caricature of nothingmore than race-baiting and
victimhood ideology that hasnuclear family by subsidizing
(06:15):
single childbirth throughwelfare.
We have a toxic brew ofvictimhood and irresponsibility
(06:36):
and subsidization of horriblebehavior and poisonous rhetoric
and victimhood.
And then we have the cowardiceof all the other racial
communities, okay, but inparticular the white community,
the sheer cowardice of notstanding up to say loud and
clear none of us own slaves,none of you were slaves.
(06:58):
Shut the fuck up.
Okay, the legacy of slavery isnot a fact, it's not even, it's
just an idea.
It's a those that pull the cart, not right in it, but they're
(07:26):
cowed, as most white people arecowed, and frightened to say out
in the open what is blatantlyobvious, which is urban black
culture is toxic, and theeffects that it's had on the
broader culture across the board.
So as single parenthood, the,the infection of subsidization
of single parent families thatstarted in the black community
(07:46):
and has now destroyed the blacknuclear family for all intents
and purposes.
In 1960, 80% of black childrenwere born into two parent
families.
Today, the number is exactlyreversed Only 20% of black
children are born into twoparent families.
And let me tell you what thatbreeds, my friends.
That breeds a complete andtotal lack of boundaries,
because it's the father thatsmacks the kid when he needs to
(08:08):
be smacked, in particular youngmen.
And it's the father who turnsto the daughter and says, when
she comes home crying one daybecause someone didn't say she
was pretty, says you walk onwater.
In my eyes you have nothing butvalue.
Do not listen to this, do nottake this to heart.
You are a wonderful and strongyoung woman.
(08:30):
That's the role of the father.
And when you take the fatherout of it, mothers I know there
are plenty of single mothersthat tell their daughters that
they're strong women, but itjust doesn't resonate, it just
doesn't work.
I'm sorry.
There's a biology to it.
Young girls are deeply, deeplyaffected by their fathers, and
(08:52):
it's anyone who's raised I havesons and daughters Anyone who's
raised children of both gendersknow this.
Okay.
Children of both genders knowthis, okay.
It's just, it's so importantthat the father drills into the
daughter every day her value andit's so important that the
father to the son shows him,shows him, love but sets hard
(09:13):
boundaries Okay, including anoccasional smack because I'm
sorry.
An occasional smack because I'msorry.
That's how men conveydispleasure.
Sometimes it gets a littlephysical.
We have gotten and I'm notsaying go beat up your children,
don't seize on that.
I can just see this coming backto haunt me when I'm in the
congressional campaign.
That's not what I'm saying.
(09:33):
That's not what I'm saying.
Everyone understands thedifference of you know, if you
were and here's where we getinto the people are going to
troll for offense I'm going tosay, every now and then you got
to give the kid a little smack.
And when I say smack, what I'menvisioning is you know you're.
You're a teenager, you know youdon't spank teenage children.
(09:54):
You punish, but occasionallythey'll say something stupid and
you reach across and you whackthem across the back of the head
and you say what the fuck wasthat?
And you know what?
There's nothing wrong with that.
And when I say whack themacross the back of the head, I
mean a slap, not a punch, not aclosed fist, a what the fuck was
that coming out of your mouth.
Every now and then, especiallyyoung men needs that and it
(10:16):
needs to be talked to the way Ijust did as I was talking to you
.
I needs that and it needs to betalked to the way I just did as
I was talking to you.
I was, I was cosplaying Is thatwhat they call that?
Anyway, um, I probably got thatcompletely wrong.
That probably means somethingnegative and I just messed it up
cause I'm such a boomer, butanyway, um, within the black
community and I saw this inprison all the time and this,
this mob, um, that beat up this.
(10:38):
As I was watching the video ofthem beating the shit out of
this couple, it just took meright back to prison.
I've seen this a million times.
There's no boundary or shame inurban black culture.
Neither thing exists.
The young black men see noboundary.
They question all authority.
They get mad at every littlething.
(10:58):
The women, too authority.
They get mad at every littlething.
The women too.
Carnival cruise lines, as wespeak, fact check me if you
think I'm making this up ishaving a big problem because
they do low price cruising andthey've really lowered prices to
try to open it up and expandtheir market.
They've attracted an awful lotof urban blacks to come take
(11:19):
these cruises and it's turnedinto fights on the ships and I'm
talking not once or twice andalso in the terminals, and as
often as not it's women.
And how does this happen?
No father at home, no father athome, no role modeling of any
kind of limits whatsoever, mixedwith a toxic brew of how dare
(11:42):
you question me?
I'm a professional victim.
I'm in the position I'm inbecause I was placed here by the
white people and everybody elseand I have no agency over
myself.
And this is urban black culture.
Sorry, I'm a little dry mouthtoday.
Anyway, what do we do about it?
(12:03):
And look, you want to take thatas racist and urban black
culture.
Because of music in particular,and because black culture has
such a huge influence on popularculture and it has the
influence was hugely positiveuntil, frankly, hip-hop came
along.
I mean, all of us who grew upin the years of early rock and
(12:26):
roll knew.
Then you know who the blackstars were and the enormous debt
and how rock and roll was builton it and jazz and the only
American music form that'snative.
It was a black music form andthere's nothing but great things
to be said about those musicforms.
But when you get into hip-hopand they start with people that
don't sing, don't write music,don't play an instrument and
(12:48):
come up with poems talking aboutmisogyny and killing police,
there's a problem in the cultureand we ignored it for way, way
too long.
The line must be drawn in thesand, okay, and I'm talking the
sand between the decent and theindecent, not between black and
white, the decent and theindecent.
(13:09):
But we must make it possible torecreate the black nuclear
family so that black people canclaw their way back into decency
.
Urban black I'm talking aboutthe urban black population that
has become so incrediblydecadent and you know it's not
just one or two people.
They elected Mayor Johnson inChicago.
(13:30):
It wasn't a big secret what hewas going to do.
Yes, last weekend, as I'mspeaking to you, there were 17
murders in Chicago last weekend.
I saw on the internet you knowthey voted for it.
This guy made no secret of howhe was going to handle policing
and everything else.
I remember and this is not anew problem I remember when
(13:51):
Marion Barry was the mayor ofWashington DC and he was doing
literally caught doing lines ofcocaine and stuffing money in
his pocket, and they reelectedhim.
When I say they, I mean themajority black population of
Washington DC, of urban blacks,which is a toxic and poisonous
culture.
It is time to call it what itis and not bully it, not exile
(14:18):
it, but we're going to have torebuild it.
We know what's wrong and thisis what whites are responsible
for.
Whites are responsible for toomuch fucking guilt.
So after we passed the CivilRights Act as, by the way, was a
great piece of legislation, Idon't give a crap what anybody
says at that point we had theworld by the ass, and when I say
(14:40):
we, I mean all Americans.
Black poverty had reduced by50% from the end of the Second
World War through 1960.
We passed the Civil Rights Act,jim Crow was gone, the world
was open to black people infront of them, and what did we
do?
We said you know what?
You're so fucking stupid thatwe're going to have to pay you
to be poor.
Okay, we subsidized poverty.
(15:02):
We took poverty away from beingsomething that you fell into
and had to crawl out of.
And poverty is hard and povertyhurts and poverty puts you in a
bad place.
I know this for a fact now,because I got out of prison poor
.
I have been poor now.
I know what it is to live lessthan paycheck to paycheck.
I know what it is to try toscrimp it together.
I'm telling you right now it'ssupposed to hurt, because that's
(15:24):
why you get the hell out of it.
Okay, what we did was we tookthe hurt out of it and we did it
for very good reasons and itwas very well-meaning.
I consider Lyndon Johnson aShakespearean tragedy.
Okay, he's a tragic figure.
I think his heart wasabsolutely in the right place
and he became the agent of thedestruction of the very people
(15:47):
he was trying to help and hebecame the enshriner of a
permanent poor class.
Now, within this poor class,there are plenty of whites who
have fallen into urban blackculture and it's become an urban
low-class white culture thatexists for sure and Latino.
The entire urban culture hasbeen infected by this entire
(16:08):
welfare-based destruction of thenuclear family.
Unfortunately, even thoughthere are very low-class white
people and very low-class Latinobrown people and I'm just going
to point it out the way it isEverybody is not the same.
There are high-class andlow-class people, and I'm just
going to point it out the way itis Everybody is not the same.
There are high class and lowclass people.
I'm sorry, it's just true.
Let's just bring it out.
But the low class can becomehigh class and it has nothing to
(16:29):
do with money.
It has to do with decency andhow you present yourself and how
you speak and how you comeforward.
And it's we Hmm, it's we, theblack population had the special
mix of the victimhood pathologythat's been repeated to it so
many times that urban blackpeople don't even question it.
(16:53):
I know this because I've hadlong conversations with urban
black convicts in prison on thisvery subject that I had very
good relationships with.
So you know, like, before youget too carried away, the
kinfolk, which is what they callthe black people, call
themselves kinfolk in prison.
The kinfolk protected me inprison, you know, and I was just
.
I would speak about this withthem all the time.
(17:15):
I would teach re-entry classesand tell them all the time you
guys got to stop whining andjust find a way and fuck them.
That became a thing.
You know, I used to tell blackpeople, black guys, all the time
, instead of whining about it.
How's that working for you?
So you know you were born, youknow you have this hard
background, yada, yada, yada.
You've bought into this wholenarrative of you're a victim and
(17:36):
it's the white guy and it'sracism and it's the legacy of
slavery.
How's that working for you?
Because I don't see it workingat all.
Okay, I see you just stuck atit and feeding the pocketbooks
of race hustlers, you know, likeAbraham X, but the worst part
(18:01):
is it's almost.
You know, I understand thehustler because I've been up to
my ass in criminals.
What I don't understand is howthe whole world doesn't call
them out, since they'reobviously full of shit.
I mean, how does the world notcall it out?
Because white people are scared.
And that brings me to stoicism,of which the first pillar is
(18:22):
courage.
Let us review the four pillarsof stoicism Courage, justice,
moderation and wisdom.
Okay, the first pillar isalways courage.
It doesn't matter what you knowto be true if you will not
stand in your own truth.
Okay, it's as simple as that.
It is time for those of uswhite, and everyone else, to
step that gets it, including theblack people, to get it, to
(18:44):
step up and say out loud.
I know there are a lot of blackpeople afraid to be ostracized
by their own community.
I understand that.
That's why you must havecourage.
That's what courage is.
There is no courage without atest of courage, and this is
(19:08):
your test of courage to step upand come forward and say clearly
to the world to hear that urbanblack culture is toxic.
Welfare must end.
That's prescription number one.
Welfare must end, not bereformed, not be changed, not be
tinkered with.
There is no successful exampleof any social program working
the way it was intended.
Good luck.
It's the shortest list in theworld.
(19:29):
You can put it on a blank pieceof paper.
They don't work.
They don't work.
It just doesn't.
Now look in anti-politism.
After you read a radical resetavailable to you on Amazon, by
the way, you will find out thatI'm basically in favor of
returning almost everythingexcept national defense and
(19:49):
foreign policy and chasing downinterstate criminals.
Everything else I leave to thestates.
So look, if an individual statewants to try a welfare program,
good luck, because they'll onlyfuck up that state welfare
program.
Good luck, because they'll onlyfuck up that state.
But this 52 state butt screwingthat we've given ourselves in
every major city of America hasto come to an end, and what
we're doing is we're subsidizingthe single-paired family and
(20:10):
that has to stop, not bereformed, stop, not be modified,
stop.
Okay, now we can give everybodya warning.
We can say we're going to startcutting this off in 12 months,
leave it at current levels for12 months and then, at the end
of 12 months, in 12 equal stepsdown, it will be reduced to zero
over the next 12 months.
(20:31):
So now they've got 24 months ofincome subsidization coming to
them, they being the recipientsof this to go out and get a job
or two, yeah, and I said, or two, you know, let's get being the
recipients of this to go out andget a job or two, yeah, and I
said, or two, you know, let'sget over the myth of poverty.
You know, what's veryinteresting is that in the Great
Depression, across all races,including the black community,
crime went down, not up.
(20:52):
Now you would think if povertycaused crime, the crime would
have gone up in the GreatDepression, since unemployment,
in particular in the blackcommunity, went up an awful lot.
Okay, why didn't it happen?
And with all those people goingon to bread lines and falling
into part of why, why did crimenot go up?
And the answer is obvious thenuclear family was intact.
Mom and dad lived at home andeveryone pulled together and the
(21:15):
kids got out if they had towork on the streets and sell
apples on the street corner,that's what they did.
I'm not advocating that now, bythe way, just hold your horses.
But they got out and theypulled together as a family and
they pulled out of poverty.
Poverty was something you fellinto and then you pulled out of.
When people talk about when theywere poor you know, I grew up
(21:36):
poor, they're not poor now.
Okay, the person telling youthat story is not the poor one.
Now, if you've got a grand, agrandfather or an uncle or an
aunt who said you know, I grewup poor, yeah, but you're not
poor now.
That's the whole point.
Okay, Poverty is supposed to betemporary.
It's supposed to suck when yousubsidize it and then you're
born into it because you're sick, you, you, you.
(21:57):
A girl grows up without a fatherand she becomes a slut.
That's what happens, because,without male affirmation, she
will seek it elsewhere, exceptthat those other boys won't be
fathers, they'll just want to doher, and they'll start doing
her from the age of 13, as soonas they hit puberty.
And I am not exaggerating thisin the least.
I have been in this groupfirsthand, up to my neck, and
(22:18):
they're the only groupdemographically in America, they
being urban poverty people ofall races who breed like bunny
rabbits.
This is true of all the raceswho get AFDC, and this is why
single parenthood is expanding.
The people who have any kind ofresources at all aren't having
children.
The people who don't have anyresources don't give a shit,
(22:38):
because it means a bigger checkfor them from AFDC.
By the way, billinton reformedthat and brock obama put it
right back in again.
That low-life, no good rottenbastard that he is sorry, I'm
just in that kind of mood todayanyway.
Um, where was I?
I really don't like BarackObama.
I think he's the firstanti-American president, really
(22:59):
a destructive character and justa miserable human being.
Okay, where am I?
Okay, so, anyway, got to cut itout.
So 24 months out of that andout no replacement Again.
If a state wants to do it, letthem do it.
I have a feeling that, forexample, wyoming and Montana
probably won't do it.
And yes, there are black peoplein Wyoming and Montana, they're
(23:19):
just not urban black peopleprowling the streets, you know,
claiming that they're owedsomething by their neighbors.
You know, it's just.
And then we, the whitecommunity, every time the
subject of restitution comes upor the legacy of slavery, every
(23:40):
white person has to turn to theblack person.
If it is a black person or theother white person, more likely
the other white person, probablya liberal or I hate to use the
word liberal a progressive, whosays this to you.
Okay, they're going to say toyou you know it's, the legacy is
blah, blah, blah, and bullshitis the correct response.
It's bullshit.
There is no data to suggest anyof that is true.
(24:02):
This is a self-fulfillingprophecy.
The only legacy of slavery thatexists is the legacy of aid to
family with dependent children.
Is combined with the toxic,toxic ideology of people like Al
Sharpton, who, who have, whohave mixed it up and and and the
you and victims lap this crapup.
It's just an easy story to telland the next thing, you know,
(24:24):
it becomes the ideology of theentire culture, which is what
hip hop music represents.
All you have to do is listen toit to understand that I'm not
exaggerating a word of what I'msaying.
And it's toxic.
We can't just keep saying, well, that's their culture saying,
and it's toxic, it's not.
We can't just keep saying, well, that's their culture, no, it's
not okay, it's not okay.
It's destroyed every majorurban area in the United States.
(24:46):
It's destroyed the blacknuclear family.
It's destroyed the future forover half of black Americans.
It has to stop.
And it's infiltrated and gotteninto every other racial group,
and the only thing missing fromthose groups is the poisonous
legacy of slavery bullshit.
(25:06):
But don't worry, socialism iscoming along for those people.
If we don't pull out of thisnosedive of decadence that we're
in, we're going to be in big,big trouble, and so what I think
we need to reintroduce into ourculture is the culture of shame
.
Where has shame gone?
Those kids who beat the crapout of those people in the
street should be ashamed.
(25:28):
That's what I mean, aside fromeverything else, that they
should go to prison.
They need to, but they don't.
I promise you.
They feel no shame at all.
Why?
Because they were raisedwithout fathers, have no
boundaries, don't understandwhat shame even is.
Plus, they live in a culturewhere you're not supposed to be
ashamed.
It's all about you.
It's all about what you need.
It's all about what you want.
(25:49):
It's all about what you need tomake you better.
I fell into this trap, by theway, I got sucked into this no
shame culture.
I went to a life coach in LosAngeles that, I'm ashamed to say
, I listened to for a very longtime and his whole shtick was
that shame is not legitimate andyou shouldn't feel shame and
you have to be true and tell thetruth to yourself.
(26:09):
And blah, blah, blah Bullshit.
You need to feel it.
I'll tell you right now I amashamed of what I did to put me
in prison.
I'm very ashamed of it and I'mglad I'm ashamed of it.
If I didn't feel ashamed of it,what kind of a sociopath would
I be?
And I got to tell you the wholeculture needs to bring back
shame.
(26:31):
We do so many things.
I could sound like such a prude, but we have let the horse way
out of the bargain on thedecadence trail.
You know, did I really?
Is that a mashed up metaphor?
I don't know what I just didwith that.
Anyway, I told you I'mextemporaneous.
I never know what comes out ofmy mouth until it's already out.
And then I feel pretty stupidlater Then I rehash this in my
(26:51):
head.
I don't relisten to these, but Ihash.
I remember everything I say inmy head and I'm like going
through it.
Should I have said that there'sa lot of this I probably
shouldn't have said?
But it comes down to this youwant to save black America.
You want to save Americancities.
There's no program that will doit.
There's no amount of talk orunderstanding or learning to
(27:14):
listen to each other.
We must say that it's a toxicurban culture that must be
destroyed.
Beginning with, we must stopsubsidizing it.
Cut off all federal welfare.
Cut it off.
They will go to work.
What should we do for all thosepeople?
Nothing, they will figure itout.
Will some suffer?
(27:34):
Yes, some will suffer.
And you want to know something?
Consequence is the only teacher, and suffering is a good thing
if it gets you to where you needto be.
We all need to suffer a little.
We have to get away from theidea that life is somehow
possibly painless.
It just isn't and sometimespain's.
You know, if you put your handdown on a hot stove, you're
(27:55):
going to pull it away real fast.
Pain serves a purpose.
Okay, it's really importantthat you feel pain, and not just
physical pain, but emotionalpain, and you suffer financial
pain.
Okay, you must sufferconsequence, otherwise you
become nothing.
You live a life of no value,because a life lived without
virtue has no value.
(28:15):
And we have now condemned tensof millions of Americans, okay,
to a life bereft of all value.
And of course they'renihilistic and of course they
have no shame and of coursethey'll beat up.
You know a couple for somesilly fucking reason and feel no
shame around it, because theyfeel entitled to do it because
(28:36):
of this toxic brew of poisonthat's been downloaded within
them since birth, and their andtheir parents since birth, and
their grandparents since birth,and their great grandparents at
this point, since birth.
And, by the way, they got younggrandparents.
I cannot tell you how manytimes I've met 30 year old, 30
something year old grandparents.
That is not uncommon in thiscommunity.
(28:56):
This is what we've let out ofthe barn.
This is what we have to putback in.
This is at the root of ourcultural degradation.
This is at the root of ourcultural cowardice.
Okay, I'm not saying don't readthis wrong Okay, I'm saying that
the urban parasitic communityprimarily made up of black
(29:19):
people, but plenty of whitepeople and brown people mixed in
too, are there because of atoxic culture that must be
destroyed, that we, being thewell-meaning who was trying to
help but only destroyed theiragency, subsidized their descent
into destruction.
And then when you couple thatwith the influence that the
(29:39):
black community has always hadon American popular culture
because on the bright side,artistically and creatively
speaking, you know, maybe thisis a reverse prejudice, but no
one touches the black people.
They just, you know, they noone.
It's just.
That's the way it is.
And so, naturally, black peoplehave an oversized, they have an
oversized talent.
Oversized talent will show upin oversized ways and it has
(30:03):
affected our culture and it usedto be such a good thing.
Remember those love songs.
Remember those love songs.
I know I sound like such aboomer, but I'm trying to take
it down a few degrees because Iknow I got wound up.
Try to pick out the parts whereI know I'm going to regret
posting this.
I just know it and I'm going todo it anyway because you know
what.
You have to be honest, you haveto be true to who you are.
(30:25):
What can you be if you are notsincere?
And if people don't like it,then they don't like it.
You know there's a freedom inreally giving yourself over to
that, not worrying about whatpeople think.
Now I'm not saying go out ofyour way to be offensive, that's
not what I'm saying.
And I've had this discussion,like I said, with plenty of
inmates when I was inside andthey all end up agreeing with me
(30:45):
.
Really, I mean, they're not all, that's not true.
I've had plenty of intransigentman.
You haven't lived until you'vemet the Muslims, the black
Muslims inside.
Oy, are they a treat.
But aside from that group,primarily everyone else that I
got along just great.
(31:06):
Everybody's got their crazies.
You know, every group's gottheir crazies.
But unfortunately in the blackcommunity it's gotten way out of
control, particularly in theinner cities, and for the
benefit of not just the blackcommunity but for Americans as a
whole.
Because now, let's be honest.
If you heard a generic storyhey, did you hear about the mob
that beat up a couple in Detroit?
(31:27):
You automatically know that'sgoing to be a black mob beating
up somebody.
Now they might be beating upanother black couple, by the way
, but it's going to be a blackmob doing the beating.
It's not always a white couple.
This is not always a racialthing.
The black on black violence ismuch worse than black on white
violence.
The black and white violence isstill rare, you know.
It's egregious because that'swhy I've got so much I guess,
(31:49):
circulation, I suppose.
But the fact of the matter is, Imean, it doesn't take a lot of
searching to see plenty of, myGod, black kids just beating the
living shit out of other blackkids.
And why and this doesn't go onin other communities because we
haven't at least yet destroyedthe nuclear family to quite that
extent it does go on withinthose communities, within those
(32:12):
same schools and districts andneighborhoods.
So like, for example, here inPhoenix, there's an area called
Maryvale, and Maryvale is areally rough part of Phoenix and
there are a lot of black peoplewho live in Maryvale, but there
are a lot of white people and alot of brown people who live in
Maryvale and they're all aboutthe same when it comes to
complete lack of shame, boundaryand violence.
Okay, and when you go to prison, about eight out of 10 people
(32:35):
you meet came out of Maryvale.
In the state prison system ofArizona.
It's just when people of allraces are exposed to toxicity,
they themselves become toxic,unless they have the courage to
stand up against it.
And how can they even have thatcourage within those
communities if they didn't havefathers at home to teach them
what their boundaries and whatthey needed to know in the first
(32:56):
place?
You can't expect spontaneousknowledge.
You know why do these people dothese things?
Because they don't know anydifferent.
This is the culture withinwhich they were raised.
Okay, to that extent they'renot responsible, but they are
responsible because once you areconfronted with objective
reality, your job as a humanbeing is to accept it.
(33:17):
Now, they're not going toaccept just being told, which is
why we must stop paying them,we must stop subsidizing this
toxin, and then they will figureit out.
And yeah, it'll be hard, and tosay otherwise would be a lie.
But if it isn't hard, what goodis it?
Okay, well, that's the end oftoday's rant.
I'm hoping that no one everlistens to this.
(33:39):
No, I'm not.
I'm hoping honestly.
It just had to be said.
And I don't.
You know what?
Who am I?
Just some guy in Phoenix.
So anyway, have a beautiful,beautiful rest of your week.
I'll talk to you on Wednesday.
All things being equal, don'tforget to pick up a copy of A
Radical Reset, the Manifesto ofAntipolitism, available to you
on Amazon in Kindle, paperbackor hardcover.
(34:01):
And that's it.
Until next time, have abeautiful, beautiful rest of
your day, and until Wednesday,this is your pal Herbie, saying
adios, no-transcript.
Happy Monday everybody.
It's a little late in the dayfor me to be doing this, but I
just wanted to think about it asthe day went on, because I'm
going to touch on some touchyareas.
Touch on some touchy areas Wasthat redundant A little bit.
Anyway, we're going to talktoday.
We're going to discuss.
Where do I want to begin thisdiscussion?
(00:23):
I do this all extemporaneously,so now I'm reorganizing my
thoughts In Cincinnati today.
Let's start with an event thatkicked off my thought process.
In Cincinnati today, or I thinkit was yesterday evening, a mob
beat the living shit out of acouple, a man and a woman, beat
(00:45):
them nearly to death and it wasall caught on video and it's all
gone viral and it's gettingonly peripheral play in the
media, in other words, onlynon-traditional sources.
To their credit, news Nationhas been running with it, but
ABC, nbc, cbs if they ran it, itwas in passing.
(01:06):
And then no one's talking aboutthe obvious here, and this is
why I had to think about whetherI was going to discuss this
today.
But I think I can discuss thiswithout being accused of being a
racist, which is the line I'mgoing to walk right up against.
So just stay with me here.
The mob was black and thecouple was white, and you know,
(01:39):
that's why you're not going tohear a lot more about it beyond
today, and I don't want to getinto.
I don't want to get.
What do I want to say?
I do want to get into thereasons why the reasons it is
not important why the mob wasattacking the couple, because in
no other scenario would you seea mob doing this on an American
street anywhere, and they'redebating what to do about it,
which is just beyond my grasp.
So, this brought to mind, everytime I see something like this,
(02:06):
I don't want to get caught inthe weeds of discussing this
particular event over and over.
You see where I'm going to gowith this.
I'm going to talk about urbanblack culture and the complete
and total destruction of thatculture that's taken place and
the cancer that it's become andwhat we have to do about it.
(02:26):
So look, black people make up13% of the population of the
United States.
They commit 55% of the crimes.
Now I want to, before I getinto this discussion, okay, and
I'm going to relate a lot of myown personal experiences in
prison I want to make this very,very clear of who I'm talking
(02:50):
about here.
I want to make this line ashard and drawn in the sand well,
not even in the sand.
I want to put a brick wallbetween me and racism.
So listen to me carefully.
Half of black people in thiscountry live middle class to
wealthy.
This is not who I'm talkingabout.
I'm not talking about theapproximately 20 million
(03:13):
americans, black americans whoknow exactly how the system
works, play by the rules,participate in the culture, have
lots of friends cross-racially.
They, they're normal.
I don't even want to get intoadjectives, what's you know,
normal people.
That's denigrating, really.
They're just people, likeeverybody else.
Most people are just people.
(03:34):
One of the reasons that, inanti-politism, I make it that
the top third of income earnersare who are eligible to be
selected in the lottery processis specifically because when
someone has worked their way upregardless of how they did it,
whether it's through thebusiness, whether it's through a
profession and got into the topthird of income earners, they
(03:57):
could only have done that ifthey understood how the culture
worked and played by the rulesof the culture.
Therefore, they are mature andthat's why I also said a minimum
age.
They've reached an age and amaturity and a level of success
that breeds commonality ofvalues, and values are what's
wrong with this country At itsroot.
(04:19):
How we spent ourself into $37,$38 trillion in what we call
reported debt, but really, ifyou include Social Security and
Medicare, there's 100 trillionmore at least.
How we did this is a completebreakdown in culture.
By making voting universal andallowing everybody to vote, we
(04:45):
encourage the culture wherebasically those of us who know
how the game plays this is goingto be.
You know, this is either goingto be a brilliant or a stupid
metaphor.
I feel like we're all a bunchof elephants and we keep voting
for the lions to predate upon us.
You know it's like everyone'safraid to say it out loud, but
(05:10):
you know, let's talk aboutwhat's really going on here.
We're going to have to say thequiet part out loud.
We're going to have to startfacing what's wrong in our
culture, because if we don'thave an honest appraisal of what
the problem is in the firstplace, then coming up with a
plan to deal with it is notgoing to be possible.
I'm going to take a drink ofwater here real quick.
Notice that I said a plan todeal with it.
(05:30):
There are no solutions toanything.
As Thomas Sowell so famouslysaid, there are no solutions,
only trade-offs.
But let's talk about what'sgoing on here.
What's happened is beginning inthe early 1960s, when Lyndon
Johnson decided, or themid-1960s, that he was going to
cure poverty by throwing moneyat it.
He didn't appreciate that.
What he did is rob the entireblack community of all agency.
(05:53):
And then in came the racehustlers, the people who, after
the death of Martin Luther Kinghe was an exceptional man in a
situation.
But the movement itself, thecivil rights movement, has
become a caricature of nothingmore than race-baiting and
victimhood ideology that hasnuclear family by subsidizing
(06:15):
single childbirth throughwelfare.
We have a toxic brew ofvictimhood and irresponsibility
(06:36):
and subsidization of horriblebehavior and poisonous rhetoric
and victimhood.
And then we have the cowardiceof all the other racial
communities, okay, but inparticular the white community,
the sheer cowardice of notstanding up to say loud and
clear none of us own slaves,none of you were slaves.
(06:58):
Shut the fuck up.
Okay, the legacy of slavery isnot a fact, it's not even, it's
just an idea.
It's a those that pull the cart, not right in it, but they're
(07:26):
cowed, as most white people arecowed, and frightened to say out
in the open what is blatantlyobvious, which is urban black
culture is toxic, and theeffects that it's had on the
broader culture across the board.
So as single parenthood, the,the infection of subsidization
of single parent families thatstarted in the black community
(07:46):
and has now destroyed the blacknuclear family for all intents
and purposes.
In 1960, 80% of black childrenwere born into two parent
families.
Today, the number is exactlyreversed Only 20% of black
children are born into twoparent families.
And let me tell you what thatbreeds, my friends.
That breeds a complete andtotal lack of boundaries,
because it's the father thatsmacks the kid when he needs to
(08:08):
be smacked, in particular youngmen.
And it's the father who turnsto the daughter and says, when
she comes home crying one daybecause someone didn't say she
was pretty, says you walk onwater.
In my eyes you have nothing butvalue.
Do not listen to this, do nottake this to heart.
You are a wonderful and strongyoung woman.
(08:30):
That's the role of the father.
And when you take the fatherout of it, mothers I know there
are plenty of single mothersthat tell their daughters that
they're strong women, but itjust doesn't resonate, it just
doesn't work.
I'm sorry.
There's a biology to it.
Young girls are deeply, deeplyaffected by their fathers, and
(08:52):
it's anyone who's raised I havesons and daughters Anyone who's
raised children of both gendersknow this.
Okay.
Children of both genders knowthis, okay.
It's just, it's so importantthat the father drills into the
daughter every day her value andit's so important that the
father to the son shows him,shows him, love but sets hard
(09:13):
boundaries Okay, including anoccasional smack because I'm
sorry.
An occasional smack because I'msorry.
That's how men conveydispleasure.
Sometimes it gets a littlephysical.
We have gotten and I'm notsaying go beat up your children,
don't seize on that.
I can just see this coming backto haunt me when I'm in the
congressional campaign.
That's not what I'm saying.
(09:33):
That's not what I'm saying.
Everyone understands thedifference of you know, if you
were and here's where we getinto the people are going to
troll for offense I'm going tosay, every now and then you got
to give the kid a little smack.
And when I say smack, what I'menvisioning is you know you're.
You're a teenager, you know youdon't spank teenage children.
(09:54):
You punish, but occasionallythey'll say something stupid and
you reach across and you whackthem across the back of the head
and you say what the fuck wasthat?
And you know what?
There's nothing wrong with that.
And when I say whack themacross the back of the head, I
mean a slap, not a punch, not aclosed fist, a what the fuck was
that coming out of your mouth.
Every now and then, especiallyyoung men needs that and it
(10:16):
needs to be talked to the way Ijust did as I was talking to you
.
I needs that and it needs to betalked to the way I just did as
I was talking to you.
I was, I was cosplaying Is thatwhat they call that?
Anyway, um, I probably got thatcompletely wrong.
That probably means somethingnegative and I just messed it up
cause I'm such a boomer, butanyway, um, within the black
community and I saw this inprison all the time and this,
this mob, um, that beat up this.
(10:38):
As I was watching the video ofthem beating the shit out of
this couple, it just took meright back to prison.
I've seen this a million times.
There's no boundary or shame inurban black culture.
Neither thing exists.
The young black men see noboundary.
They question all authority.
They get mad at every littlething.
(10:58):
The women, too authority.
They get mad at every littlething.
The women too.
Carnival cruise lines, as wespeak, fact check me if you
think I'm making this up ishaving a big problem because
they do low price cruising andthey've really lowered prices to
try to open it up and expandtheir market.
They've attracted an awful lotof urban blacks to come take
(11:19):
these cruises and it's turnedinto fights on the ships and I'm
talking not once or twice andalso in the terminals, and as
often as not it's women.
And how does this happen?
No father at home, no father athome, no role modeling of any
kind of limits whatsoever, mixedwith a toxic brew of how dare
(11:42):
you question me?
I'm a professional victim.
I'm in the position I'm inbecause I was placed here by the
white people and everybody elseand I have no agency over
myself.
And this is urban black culture.
Sorry, I'm a little dry mouthtoday.
Anyway, what do we do about it?
(12:03):
And look, you want to take thatas racist and urban black
culture.
Because of music in particular,and because black culture has
such a huge influence on popularculture and it has the
influence was hugely positiveuntil, frankly, hip-hop came
along.
I mean, all of us who grew upin the years of early rock and
(12:26):
roll knew.
Then you know who the blackstars were and the enormous debt
and how rock and roll was builton it and jazz and the only
American music form that'snative.
It was a black music form andthere's nothing but great things
to be said about those musicforms.
But when you get into hip-hopand they start with people that
don't sing, don't write music,don't play an instrument and
(12:48):
come up with poems talking aboutmisogyny and killing police,
there's a problem in the cultureand we ignored it for way, way
too long.
The line must be drawn in thesand, okay, and I'm talking the
sand between the decent and theindecent, not between black and
white, the decent and theindecent.
(13:09):
But we must make it possible torecreate the black nuclear
family so that black people canclaw their way back into decency
.
Urban black I'm talking aboutthe urban black population that
has become so incrediblydecadent and you know it's not
just one or two people.
They elected Mayor Johnson inChicago.
(13:30):
It wasn't a big secret what hewas going to do.
Yes, last weekend, as I'mspeaking to you, there were 17
murders in Chicago last weekend.
I saw on the internet you knowthey voted for it.
This guy made no secret of howhe was going to handle policing
and everything else.
I remember and this is not anew problem I remember when
(13:51):
Marion Barry was the mayor ofWashington DC and he was doing
literally caught doing lines ofcocaine and stuffing money in
his pocket, and they reelectedhim.
When I say they, I mean themajority black population of
Washington DC, of urban blacks,which is a toxic and poisonous
culture.
It is time to call it what itis and not bully it, not exile
(14:18):
it, but we're going to have torebuild it.
We know what's wrong and thisis what whites are responsible
for.
Whites are responsible for toomuch fucking guilt.
So after we passed the CivilRights Act as, by the way, was a
great piece of legislation, Idon't give a crap what anybody
says at that point we had theworld by the ass, and when I say
(14:40):
we, I mean all Americans.
Black poverty had reduced by50% from the end of the Second
World War through 1960.
We passed the Civil Rights Act,jim Crow was gone, the world
was open to black people infront of them, and what did we
do?
We said you know what?
You're so fucking stupid thatwe're going to have to pay you
to be poor.
Okay, we subsidized poverty.
(15:02):
We took poverty away from beingsomething that you fell into
and had to crawl out of.
And poverty is hard and povertyhurts and poverty puts you in a
bad place.
I know this for a fact now,because I got out of prison poor
.
I have been poor now.
I know what it is to live lessthan paycheck to paycheck.
I know what it is to try toscrimp it together.
I'm telling you right now it'ssupposed to hurt, because that's
(15:24):
why you get the hell out of it.
Okay, what we did was we tookthe hurt out of it and we did it
for very good reasons and itwas very well-meaning.
I consider Lyndon Johnson aShakespearean tragedy.
Okay, he's a tragic figure.
I think his heart wasabsolutely in the right place
and he became the agent of thedestruction of the very people
(15:47):
he was trying to help and hebecame the enshriner of a
permanent poor class.
Now, within this poor class,there are plenty of whites who
have fallen into urban blackculture and it's become an urban
low-class white culture thatexists for sure and Latino.
The entire urban culture hasbeen infected by this entire
(16:08):
welfare-based destruction of thenuclear family.
Unfortunately, even thoughthere are very low-class white
people and very low-class Latinobrown people and I'm just going
to point it out the way it isEverybody is not the same.
There are high-class andlow-class people, and I'm just
going to point it out the way itis Everybody is not the same.
There are high class and lowclass people.
I'm sorry, it's just true.
Let's just bring it out.
But the low class can becomehigh class and it has nothing to
(16:29):
do with money.
It has to do with decency andhow you present yourself and how
you speak and how you comeforward.
And it's we Hmm, it's we, theblack population had the special
mix of the victimhood pathologythat's been repeated to it so
many times that urban blackpeople don't even question it.
(16:53):
I know this because I've hadlong conversations with urban
black convicts in prison on thisvery subject that I had very
good relationships with.
So you know, like, before youget too carried away, the
kinfolk, which is what they callthe black people, call
themselves kinfolk in prison.
The kinfolk protected me inprison, you know, and I was just
.
I would speak about this withthem all the time.
(17:15):
I would teach re-entry classesand tell them all the time you
guys got to stop whining andjust find a way and fuck them.
That became a thing.
You know, I used to tell blackpeople, black guys, all the time
, instead of whining about it.
How's that working for you?
So you know you were born, youknow you have this hard
background, yada, yada, yada.
You've bought into this wholenarrative of you're a victim and
(17:36):
it's the white guy and it'sracism and it's the legacy of
slavery.
How's that working for you?
Because I don't see it workingat all.
Okay, I see you just stuck atit and feeding the pocketbooks
of race hustlers, you know, likeAbraham X, but the worst part
(18:01):
is it's almost.
You know, I understand thehustler because I've been up to
my ass in criminals.
What I don't understand is howthe whole world doesn't call
them out, since they'reobviously full of shit.
I mean, how does the world notcall it out?
Because white people are scared.
And that brings me to stoicism,of which the first pillar is
(18:22):
courage.
Let us review the four pillarsof stoicism Courage, justice,
moderation and wisdom.
Okay, the first pillar isalways courage.
It doesn't matter what you knowto be true if you will not
stand in your own truth.
Okay, it's as simple as that.
It is time for those of uswhite, and everyone else, to
step that gets it, including theblack people, to get it, to
(18:44):
step up and say out loud.
I know there are a lot of blackpeople afraid to be ostracized
by their own community.
I understand that.
That's why you must havecourage.
That's what courage is.
There is no courage without atest of courage, and this is
(19:08):
your test of courage to step upand come forward and say clearly
to the world to hear that urbanblack culture is toxic.
Welfare must end.
That's prescription number one.
Welfare must end, not bereformed, not be changed, not be
tinkered with.
There is no successful exampleof any social program working
the way it was intended.
Good luck.
It's the shortest list in theworld.
(19:29):
You can put it on a blank pieceof paper.
They don't work.
They don't work.
It just doesn't.
Now look in anti-politism.
After you read a radical resetavailable to you on Amazon, by
the way, you will find out thatI'm basically in favor of
returning almost everythingexcept national defense and
(19:49):
foreign policy and chasing downinterstate criminals.
Everything else I leave to thestates.
So look, if an individual statewants to try a welfare program,
good luck, because they'll onlyfuck up that state welfare
program.
Good luck, because they'll onlyfuck up that state.
But this 52 state butt screwingthat we've given ourselves in
every major city of America hasto come to an end, and what
we're doing is we're subsidizingthe single-paired family and
(20:10):
that has to stop, not bereformed, stop, not be modified,
stop.
Okay, now we can give everybodya warning.
We can say we're going to startcutting this off in 12 months,
leave it at current levels for12 months and then, at the end
of 12 months, in 12 equal stepsdown, it will be reduced to zero
over the next 12 months.
(20:31):
So now they've got 24 months ofincome subsidization coming to
them, they being the recipientsof this to go out and get a job
or two, yeah, and I said, or two, you know, let's get being the
recipients of this to go out andget a job or two, yeah, and I
said, or two, you know, let'sget over the myth of poverty.
You know, what's veryinteresting is that in the Great
Depression, across all races,including the black community,
crime went down, not up.
(20:52):
Now you would think if povertycaused crime, the crime would
have gone up in the GreatDepression, since unemployment,
in particular in the blackcommunity, went up an awful lot.
Okay, why didn't it happen?
And with all those people goingon to bread lines and falling
into part of why, why did crimenot go up?
And the answer is obvious thenuclear family was intact.
Mom and dad lived at home andeveryone pulled together and the
(21:15):
kids got out if they had towork on the streets and sell
apples on the street corner,that's what they did.
I'm not advocating that now, bythe way, just hold your horses.
But they got out and theypulled together as a family and
they pulled out of poverty.
Poverty was something you fellinto and then you pulled out of.
When people talk about when theywere poor you know, I grew up
(21:36):
poor, they're not poor now.
Okay, the person telling youthat story is not the poor one.
Now, if you've got a grand, agrandfather or an uncle or an
aunt who said you know, I grewup poor, yeah, but you're not
poor now.
That's the whole point.
Okay, Poverty is supposed to betemporary.
It's supposed to suck when yousubsidize it and then you're
born into it because you're sick, you, you, you.
(21:57):
A girl grows up without a fatherand she becomes a slut.
That's what happens, because,without male affirmation, she
will seek it elsewhere, exceptthat those other boys won't be
fathers, they'll just want to doher, and they'll start doing
her from the age of 13, as soonas they hit puberty.
And I am not exaggerating thisin the least.
I have been in this groupfirsthand, up to my neck, and
(22:18):
they're the only groupdemographically in America, they
being urban poverty people ofall races who breed like bunny
rabbits.
This is true of all the raceswho get AFDC, and this is why
single parenthood is expanding.
The people who have any kind ofresources at all aren't having
children.
The people who don't have anyresources don't give a shit,
(22:38):
because it means a bigger checkfor them from AFDC.
By the way, billinton reformedthat and brock obama put it
right back in again.
That low-life, no good rottenbastard that he is sorry, I'm
just in that kind of mood todayanyway.
Um, where was I?
I really don't like BarackObama.
I think he's the firstanti-American president, really
(22:59):
a destructive character and justa miserable human being.
Okay, where am I?
Okay, so, anyway, got to cut itout.
So 24 months out of that andout no replacement Again.
If a state wants to do it, letthem do it.
I have a feeling that, forexample, wyoming and Montana
probably won't do it.
And yes, there are black peoplein Wyoming and Montana, they're
(23:19):
just not urban black peopleprowling the streets, you know,
claiming that they're owedsomething by their neighbors.
You know, it's just.
And then we, the whitecommunity, every time the
subject of restitution comes upor the legacy of slavery, every
(23:40):
white person has to turn to theblack person.
If it is a black person or theother white person, more likely
the other white person, probablya liberal or I hate to use the
word liberal a progressive, whosays this to you.
Okay, they're going to say toyou you know it's, the legacy is
blah, blah, blah, and bullshitis the correct response.
It's bullshit.
There is no data to suggest anyof that is true.
(24:02):
This is a self-fulfillingprophecy.
The only legacy of slavery thatexists is the legacy of aid to
family with dependent children.
Is combined with the toxic,toxic ideology of people like Al
Sharpton, who, who have, whohave mixed it up and and and the
you and victims lap this crapup.
It's just an easy story to telland the next thing, you know,
(24:24):
it becomes the ideology of theentire culture, which is what
hip hop music represents.
All you have to do is listen toit to understand that I'm not
exaggerating a word of what I'msaying.
And it's toxic.
We can't just keep saying, well, that's their culture saying,
and it's toxic, it's not.
We can't just keep saying, well, that's their culture, no, it's
not okay, it's not okay.
It's destroyed every majorurban area in the United States.
(24:46):
It's destroyed the blacknuclear family.
It's destroyed the future forover half of black Americans.
It has to stop.
And it's infiltrated and gotteninto every other racial group,
and the only thing missing fromthose groups is the poisonous
legacy of slavery bullshit.
(25:06):
But don't worry, socialism iscoming along for those people.
If we don't pull out of thisnosedive of decadence that we're
in, we're going to be in big,big trouble, and so what I think
we need to reintroduce into ourculture is the culture of shame
.
Where has shame gone?
Those kids who beat the crapout of those people in the
street should be ashamed.
(25:28):
That's what I mean, aside fromeverything else, that they
should go to prison.
They need to, but they don't.
I promise you.
They feel no shame at all.
Why?
Because they were raisedwithout fathers, have no
boundaries, don't understandwhat shame even is.
Plus, they live in a culturewhere you're not supposed to be
ashamed.
It's all about you.
It's all about what you need.
It's all about what you want.
(25:49):
It's all about what you need tomake you better.
I fell into this trap, by theway, I got sucked into this no
shame culture.
I went to a life coach in LosAngeles that, I'm ashamed to say
, I listened to for a very longtime and his whole shtick was
that shame is not legitimate andyou shouldn't feel shame and
you have to be true and tell thetruth to yourself.
(26:09):
And blah, blah, blah Bullshit.
You need to feel it.
I'll tell you right now I amashamed of what I did to put me
in prison.
I'm very ashamed of it and I'mglad I'm ashamed of it.
If I didn't feel ashamed of it,what kind of a sociopath would
I be?
And I got to tell you the wholeculture needs to bring back
shame.
(26:31):
We do so many things.
I could sound like such a prude, but we have let the horse way
out of the bargain on thedecadence trail.
You know, did I really?
Is that a mashed up metaphor?
I don't know what I just didwith that.
Anyway, I told you I'mextemporaneous.
I never know what comes out ofmy mouth until it's already out.
And then I feel pretty stupidlater Then I rehash this in my
(26:51):
head.
I don't relisten to these, but Ihash.
I remember everything I say inmy head and I'm like going
through it.
Should I have said that there'sa lot of this I probably
shouldn't have said?
But it comes down to this youwant to save black America.
You want to save Americancities.
There's no program that will doit.
There's no amount of talk orunderstanding or learning to
(27:14):
listen to each other.
We must say that it's a toxicurban culture that must be
destroyed.
Beginning with, we must stopsubsidizing it.
Cut off all federal welfare.
Cut it off.
They will go to work.
What should we do for all thosepeople?
Nothing, they will figure itout.
Will some suffer?
(27:34):
Yes, some will suffer.
And you want to know something?
Consequence is the only teacher, and suffering is a good thing
if it gets you to where you needto be.
We all need to suffer a little.
We have to get away from theidea that life is somehow
possibly painless.
It just isn't and sometimespain's.
You know, if you put your handdown on a hot stove, you're
(27:55):
going to pull it away real fast.
Pain serves a purpose.
Okay, it's really importantthat you feel pain, and not just
physical pain, but emotionalpain, and you suffer financial
pain.
Okay, you must sufferconsequence, otherwise you
become nothing.
You live a life of no value,because a life lived without
virtue has no value.
(28:15):
And we have now condemned tensof millions of Americans, okay,
to a life bereft of all value.
And of course they'renihilistic and of course they
have no shame and of coursethey'll beat up.
You know a couple for somesilly fucking reason and feel no
shame around it, because theyfeel entitled to do it because
(28:36):
of this toxic brew of poisonthat's been downloaded within
them since birth, and their andtheir parents since birth, and
their grandparents since birth,and their great grandparents at
this point, since birth.
And, by the way, they got younggrandparents.
I cannot tell you how manytimes I've met 30 year old, 30
something year old grandparents.
That is not uncommon in thiscommunity.
(28:56):
This is what we've let out ofthe barn.
This is what we have to putback in.
This is at the root of ourcultural degradation.
This is at the root of ourcultural cowardice.
Okay, I'm not saying don't readthis wrong Okay, I'm saying that
the urban parasitic communityprimarily made up of black
(29:19):
people, but plenty of whitepeople and brown people mixed in
too, are there because of atoxic culture that must be
destroyed, that we, being thewell-meaning who was trying to
help but only destroyed theiragency, subsidized their descent
into destruction.
And then when you couple thatwith the influence that the
(29:39):
black community has always hadon American popular culture
because on the bright side,artistically and creatively
speaking, you know, maybe thisis a reverse prejudice, but no
one touches the black people.
They just, you know, they noone.
It's just.
That's the way it is.
And so, naturally, black peoplehave an oversized, they have an
oversized talent.
Oversized talent will show upin oversized ways and it has
(30:03):
affected our culture and it usedto be such a good thing.
Remember those love songs.
Remember those love songs.
I know I sound like such aboomer, but I'm trying to take
it down a few degrees because Iknow I got wound up.
Try to pick out the parts whereI know I'm going to regret
posting this.
I just know it and I'm going todo it anyway because you know
what.
You have to be honest, you haveto be true to who you are.
(30:25):
What can you be if you are notsincere?
And if people don't like it,then they don't like it.
You know there's a freedom inreally giving yourself over to
that, not worrying about whatpeople think.
Now I'm not saying go out ofyour way to be offensive, that's
not what I'm saying.
And I've had this discussion,like I said, with plenty of
inmates when I was inside andthey all end up agreeing with me
(30:45):
.
Really, I mean, they're not all, that's not true.
I've had plenty of intransigentman.
You haven't lived until you'vemet the Muslims, the black
Muslims inside.
Oy, are they a treat.
But aside from that group,primarily everyone else that I
got along just great.
(31:06):
Everybody's got their crazies.
You know, every group's gottheir crazies.
But unfortunately in the blackcommunity it's gotten way out of
control, particularly in theinner cities, and for the
benefit of not just the blackcommunity but for Americans as a
whole.
Because now, let's be honest.
If you heard a generic storyhey, did you hear about the mob
that beat up a couple in Detroit?
(31:27):
You automatically know that'sgoing to be a black mob beating
up somebody.
Now they might be beating upanother black couple, by the way
, but it's going to be a blackmob doing the beating.
It's not always a white couple.
This is not always a racialthing.
The black on black violence ismuch worse than black on white
violence.
The black and white violence isstill rare, you know.
It's egregious because that'swhy I've got so much I guess,
(31:49):
circulation, I suppose.
But the fact of the matter is, Imean, it doesn't take a lot of
searching to see plenty of, myGod, black kids just beating the
living shit out of other blackkids.
And why and this doesn't go onin other communities because we
haven't at least yet destroyedthe nuclear family to quite that
extent it does go on withinthose communities, within those
(32:12):
same schools and districts andneighborhoods.
So like, for example, here inPhoenix, there's an area called
Maryvale, and Maryvale is areally rough part of Phoenix and
there are a lot of black peoplewho live in Maryvale, but there
are a lot of white people and alot of brown people who live in
Maryvale and they're all aboutthe same when it comes to
complete lack of shame, boundaryand violence.
Okay, and when you go to prison, about eight out of 10 people
(32:35):
you meet came out of Maryvale.
In the state prison system ofArizona.
It's just when people of allraces are exposed to toxicity,
they themselves become toxic,unless they have the courage to
stand up against it.
And how can they even have thatcourage within those
communities if they didn't havefathers at home to teach them
what their boundaries and whatthey needed to know in the first
(32:56):
place?
You can't expect spontaneousknowledge.
You know why do these people dothese things?
Because they don't know anydifferent.
This is the culture withinwhich they were raised.
Okay, to that extent they'renot responsible, but they are
responsible because once you areconfronted with objective
reality, your job as a humanbeing is to accept it.
(33:17):
Now, they're not going toaccept just being told, which is
why we must stop paying them,we must stop subsidizing this
toxin, and then they will figureit out.
And yeah, it'll be hard, and tosay otherwise would be a lie.
But if it isn't hard, what goodis it?
Okay, well, that's the end oftoday's rant.
I'm hoping that no one everlistens to this.
(33:39):
No, I'm not.
I'm hoping honestly.
It just had to be said.
And I don't.
You know what?
Who am I?
Just some guy in Phoenix.
So anyway, have a beautiful,beautiful rest of your week.
I'll talk to you on Wednesday.
All things being equal, don'tforget to pick up a copy of A
Radical Reset, the Manifesto ofAntipolitism, available to you
on Amazon in Kindle, paperbackor hardcover.
(34:01):
And that's it.
Until next time, have abeautiful, beautiful rest of
your day, and until Wednesday,this is your pal Herbie, saying
adios, no-transcript.
