01:50

Troll hunting is hard work, but hey, someone's got to do it now without further ado

01:56

Here's pastor Tim on this episode of answer a fool. We will be answering the question Isn't it easy to avoid being canceled if you don't say anything racist?

02:05

Now this is a comment that we received in response to our recent episode on how to become canceled proof and essentially the genius troll

02:12

Informed us that it's quite easy to avoid being canceled. I just don't say anything racist.

02:18

It's just as simple as that Now the problem with this is this this kind of comment or this kind of reaction

02:26

Betrays a remarkable lack of self -awareness Betrays a remarkable ignorance about the nature of the claims of critical theory itself

02:35

We're now living in the kind of society where every single ethnic or racial interaction is essentially problematized

02:42

In the proponents of CRT are telling us with their words with their mouth

02:47

They are telling us and we have ears to hear what they're actually saying That the question is not whether or not racism occurs in any given interaction

02:55

The question is how does racism manifest itself and every single interaction?

03:01

so we're moving away from the old definitions of racism, which viewed racism as essentially hostility towards members of different ethnic groups or conscious prejudice towards members of ethnic groups

03:15

Or, you know a scientific notion of racism where one Group of people essentially viewed others as almost subhuman categories of people

03:25

So we're moving away from the old definitions of racism. And now we've moved into These new definitions of racism where racism essentially is the air we breathe.

03:35

It is this Specter which hangs over every single societal interaction that we come come come across Racism has gone from conscious prejudice against members of a different race to now is being viewed as simply a system of a

03:56

Societal system that's operating almost at an unconscious level. So we talked about racism as unconscious bias towards members of a different race which

04:06

Essentially props up this system which advantages one group over and against another and so in in this kind of society in the site

04:14

We were living in right now every everything that Individual of a perceived dominant group is going to do is going to be in some sense a manifestation of racism

04:25

So, you know if you seek to listen to blacks and ask them questions You're going to be exercising patriarchal dominance over blacks

04:33

If you refuse to listen to them, then you're going to be silencing their voices If you practice what

04:39

Martin Luther King jr. Advocated color blindness Then you're going to essentially that's now viewed as problematic and that's just a way that Whites keep blacks down and keep them from advancing in the world

04:51

But then if and then if the opposite if you operate on the basis of conscious ethnic prejudice

04:58

Then you're also going to be accused of racism Depending on how that manifests itself in any given situation

05:05

So right now there is no scenario where you're not going to be accused of racism in some way shape form

05:12

And everything that you say to an ethic my minority is essentially going to be problem problematized

05:19

And that's not just you know, white fragility talking. That's just listening to what the the

05:25

Advocates of critical theory are actually telling us and applying what they're saying in a logical way

05:31

If racism is the norm on the ordinary state of affairs and every interaction is going to be in some sense a manifestation of racism

05:37

There's no way to avoid saying anything that's racist And so this kind of reaction, you know, it's easy to avoid being canceled

05:45

So long as you don't say anything racist what that actually amounts to is just it amounts to An individual saying the way to avoid being canceled is just to shut up and don't say anything at all

05:58

Problem though is that if you were just to take that advice and just shut up and not say anything at all You're still going to be accused of racism.

06:05

So there's no way out. I mean, this is just a witch -hunt Which you know operates on the level of there's there's no it's unfalsifiable.

06:13

These are claims that are unfalsifiable There's no way to prove your innocence in this kind of scenario because everything that you

06:20

Do or say or don't do or say is going to be used as a weapon to essentially prove your guilt in any amount of Protesting on your part is not going to help you.

06:29

It's just gonna dig the hole further, you know so if you try to defend yourself and You are the guilty person who's trying to defend yourself if you're the person who doesn't defend yourself then it's because you were up to no good and You have no defense to offer and so that's the situation that we find ourself living in at this

06:46

Kind of point in time and essentially this idea, you know It's easy to avoid cancellation if you don't say anything racist

06:55

What that actually amounts to is just is it amounts to essentially the thought, you know

07:02

If you want to get off the hook in these areas just shut up and do what you're told and so whatever we tell you to think you think whatever we tell you to say you say if we tell you to Give away your job you give away your job if we tell you to hire this person you hire this person

07:16

And that's essentially what? The rules of the game actually are in this kind of scenario.

07:22

And so as long as whites Enjoy What you might describe as more socioeconomic advantages over blacks

07:35

Then there is always going to be in the minds of those who are advocating critical theory this notion that the only reason why these socioeconomic disparities could possibly exist is because of systemic racism and there's nothing that can be done at that point except for just to you know

07:51

Give away your jobs Give away your money and give away your house give away your property until somehow everything is all equal and the egalitarian

07:58

Dream is realized and you know, even then that probably won't be enough. And so as you think through this kind of simplistic

08:08

Response to our episode one of the things you have to realize is that this This response really is remarkably ignorant and short -sighted and prejudiced

08:16

And you know if you really are listening to the things that are actually being communicated at this very point

08:22

You'll realize that there really is no way to avoid Being Cancelled at that point by not saying something that's racist

08:31

So there's there is no path to avoiding cancellation in that kind of way you know and what that essentially amounts to is just shut up and do what you're told and give people exactly what they ask and Believe everything that they're saying and give excuses across the board in society for you know

08:49

Any failings along ethnic lines and so there's there really is no way to avoid

08:56
