Why are All My Friends Marxists? (See Description for Full Video)

A Marxist Revolution as a New Religion

Welcome once again to the Conversations That Matter podcast. My name is John Harris. If you woke up this morning, you woke up to the middle of what now appears to be a Marxist revolution. I don't say that in a cavalier fashion.

I don't take it lightly. This is serious stuff. There's times for joking and even in this you can still have some humor, but make no mistake, there are big things happening. Earth-shattering things. What I've been warning about for the last year on this podcast is coming to fruition before our eyes, and I have a sense in me that, you know, I wasn't going to do a podcast today, but this may be one of the more important podcasts that I've ever done.

I know a lot of you who have listened from the beginning know that I've made the argument many times that we're not dealing with a political movement purely, or a religious movement purely. We're dealing with a political religion, and the evidence is all around us right now.

This is a new religion, and it parrots the gospel. It's actually a false gospel. It's gotten into Christianity, and it's gotten into other religions, and it's also gotten into secular voluntary associations, like knitting clubs, the Boy Scouts, your gardening club, critical theory, intersectionality, ultimately Marxist ideas, New Left ideas.

The New Left critique of America is now the orthodox opinion you must hold for many. I'm gonna try to explain this as best I can, but what I am intending to do with this video is to educate you so you can go and talk to your friends and your family.

I'm not asking you, and I'm not telling you to go to battle on social media. That may be a fruitless pursuit, or it may, for you, maybe you're good at that kind of thing. I am wanting to give you some resources and some some thoughts to help you understand this, and to help you communicate the issues with it to those in your family, especially those who call themselves Christians.

And, you know, we may have some success with some, and you may not get far with others. That's just the reality, but when you have a false gospel, you have to refute it, and you have to present a true gospel.

Optics, Emotion, and Postmodern Conditioning

So, I'm gonna explain what's going on, because this is not something that happened because of logical arguments. Primary source exegesis, historiography, hermeneutics, rational comprehension, discussion, debate, none of those things factor into this.

This is emotional, and you need to understand that from the beginning, which is why if you're going to fight this, I suggest face-to-face interaction is the best thing, rather than jumping on someone's thread, which you are perfectly fine to do, but you're gonna get farther, I think, if there is a human interaction.

We are a world now of optics and fashion, not logic and reason. We just need to accept this. Truth is not found through logic and reason. It is found through optics and fashion. That is how people think.

Welcome to postmodernism. My generation, the generation under me, that is how they approach just about everything, which is part of the reason I'm making a video instead of writing a blog about this. Not that it's wrong to write a blog, I think that's important, but tone factors into a lot of this, image factors into a lot of this.

This whole scenario that we're watching right now was sparked by videos, the Arbery video especially, and then the George Floyd video. In both cases, and I'm not going to beat a dead horse, but there's no evidence that racism factored into any of these things, none whatsoever.

You can't prove it. I've pointed out before that if you're a Christian, there really is no biblical category for a hate crime anyway, but even if there was, there's no hate crime here that can be proven.

Every profession has bad apples in it. In fact, if you want to run the statistics and look at the numbers from police departments and federal numbers, you'll find that the systemic oppression that's being alleged, that the police harbor, and that I guess white people in general harbor, is a myth.

It doesn't come out when you actually start running the numbers, but this isn't about numbers. This is about narrative. It's about optics, so you have friends of yours right now. I've gotten a lot of these messages that you never would have expected to become woke or even political perhaps, and now they're lamenting their whiteness.

They're lamenting systemic oppression in the United States. They're issuing ultimatums that you must do the same, trying to bring some guilt out of you and some lamentation of some kind, and in many cases they're standing in solidarity with looters, with thieves, with those advocating violence, and a revolution, and you don't know what to do about it.

Just remember, they saw a video and they've been conditioned, if they're of my generation or those below me especially, they've been conditioned through an educational system and an entertainment system in this country to hate this country from the foundation of it all the way to the present.

They believe if you peel the onion back, what you'll find at the heart is white supremacy and oppression. Oppression against women in the form of patriarchy, oppression against minorities in the form of whiteness, oppression against sexual minorities as they will call them in the form of heterosexual privilege, and the list goes on.

This is the world that we live in now. The people that you are interacting with have been guided, they've been conditioned into this, and you're not going to be able to probably convince them out of it with a tweet or a Facebook message.

It's a good start, but you're probably gonna have to have some one-to-one, face-to-face interaction, and I want to help you do that. I want to help you think through that, but we need to understand it first, and so I'm gonna start here.

Social Justice as a False Gospel

This is the formation, guys, of a new religion, and I realize that probably your pastors haven't been talking about this, your churches aren't aware of this in the probably 95 of cases. The Christian magazines and publications that you follow have not really said much about this, but that's exactly what's been happening, and it's been happening for years, and it's been happening right under their nose.

Some of them have known about it and have chosen to remain silent. Others, I think this is the majority of people, have no clue what's really going on, and they haven't taken the time to really think about it, and so we're gonna think about it.

So I put this out there now over a year ago, how social justice parallels the gospel, and how social justice contradicts the gospel. This is from, I believe, January or February of 2019 that I put this out on my blog, and I sat down and I really thought through this.

Now I come at this as someone who has degrees from both secular and Christian institutions. I've been noticing this for the last 15 years. The difference between the two is that in Christian institutions, there's a veneer of Christianity which makes it not quite as aggressive, but it's the same exact poison that you're gonna get at a secular university.

It just is, and it's a false gospel. So here's the poison. The poison is that white male straight privilege is original sin. Number one, you don't have to do anything evil, but if you are in one of these categories, you have a stain of racism, sexism, or homophobia that you need to get rid of.

So while you hear Al Mohler say things like this, there's a stain of racism that won't ever go away till heaven, it's because it's attached to one of these categories. It's the denomination you're part of.

It's the home that you run. It's the kind of medical care that you receive. It's everything about your life. If you are white, male, or straight, you have a benefit. You have privilege, and you need to absolve yourself of this sinful privilege.

Political correctness is the new law. The do's and the don'ts. What you can say, what you can't say. Being woke is like being born again, coming to this awareness, and now you see things differently. You realize you're part of systemic oppression.

Liberal politics are the sacraments. Woke leaders are the priests. There's a new canon of books you need to read now from sociologists. That's the new scriptures. Equality is heaven on earth. That's, or equity is the word they're using now.

It's a materialist heaven here on earth, and I hear Christians say, well we can use the critical race theory critique as an analytical tool, but we don't accept critical race theory, of course, because it's materialist.

It's Marxist. Well, the telos, in other words, the destination, the point of critical race theory, is to form a materialist heaven on this earth. You can't have both. You will serve one, or you will serve the other.

You cannot serve God, God of the Bible, and critical race theory at the same time. It will not work. Social justice also contradicts the gospel, because the focus is on external behavior instead of heart condition.

Now, of course, Christians try to smuggle in the heart condition and say that, of course, we understand that systemic oppression, there's a heart condition behind that somewhere, but the direction is wrong.

It starts with external behavior. The groups that are analyzed are certain classes of people instead of individuals, so individuals are complicit insofar as they are members of a certain class of people.

That's not biblical. Sanctification precedes justification. You got to do something in order to have reconciliation, true reconciliation. You got to do A, B, and C, usually quotas, global curriculum, ripping down something historical, some kind of affirmative action, you know, reparations.

There's got to be something you do, and then you can have reconciliation. See, that's the cart before the horse. Power. Power. Perpetual repentance instead of justification. So instead of Christ forgiving you, and once for all you're forgiven, he has taken that burden of sin, that is the good news of the gospel, you didn't have to do anything, this is what God did for you.

Instead, you have to get on the hamster wheel of perpetually gaining grace and repentance, because you will never get there if you were part of an oppressed tradition, category, culture. Just won't happen.

And so the power of the gospel is gone, and the power of your ability to absolve yourself of your own sin is what you believe in now. And boy, people are tired. Like the priests in Hebrews, they're tired of, exhausted of trying to get rid of the sin that they carry with them, because Christ hasn't taken care of it.

This is a different gospel, guys. You need to realize this. When you see your friends tweeting what they're tweeting, posting what they're posting, and I'm gonna take you through the steps here. This is what I see happening with your friends right now.

This is what explains it, alright. Number one, they get woke. They have a salvation experience. This is, remember, a new religion. So they come to an understanding of systemic oppression, whether that's through an article, or a video, or a book, and they realize how complicit they are in a system that results in their privilege.

So whether it be the medical treatment that they receive, whether it be the kinds of foods they eat, the loan that they got for their house, the kind of church they go to, where they live, everything about their life comes back to, fundamentally, a privilege of some kind that's benefiting them.

It's not the Lord who's blessing them. Remember, this is a different religion. It's not the Lord who is, through providence, blessing them with the things that are good in their life. It's actually something horrible.

It's this whiteness that is benefiting them, this system that's benefiting them. And it's those in power and authority who have chosen to grant them, to allocate to them, influence and financial resources and good educations, etc., while denying it from minorities, sexual minorities, in their minds, that's the word they use, and women, genders, etc.

And so what you have is, this is where the Marxism starts coming out. You have oppressed, and you have oppressors, and the system is rigged. You can't point to a law in the system, right? You can't say, well, presently on the books there's a law that specifically discriminates and says that these people that have this white skin get a certain level of education and financial help for it, when these people of this color of skin don't get that because of their color of skin.

You don't see that anywhere on the books. If anything, you see affirmative action, which is actually the reverse of that. You see minorities have opportunities from the system. But what they're assuming is there's this invisible hand, so to speak, kind of like, you know, I'm playing off of Adam Smith's invisible hand in capitalism, but there's an invisible hand from the beginning of our country, preceding our country's history, going back to Europe, that its only intention is to help people that are straight white males and keep them in power.

And it's through families and how families have passed on their wealth to the next generation. There's all sorts of ways that you're getting this privilege allocated to you. So your friends have read something that's convinced them of this fact.

It's not Lord blessing them. It's not his providence. It's evil. And then they've realized, number two, that they are complicit in this system because of that privilege. So they've benefited from all these things and they've never taken a stand against it.

They've never lamented it. They've never tried to help those who are offended by it and hurting because of it. So they pay their taxes and live a simple life and benefit from the protection of the police.

They haven't taken a stand against symbols of hate that, in the minds of the leftists, that are holding minorities of various kinds back. Don't think the Bible is not going to be thrown into this eventually, guys.

You want to go to the ultimate book that has politically incorrect things in it? It's gonna be ripped down real quick. So they've benefited from all these things and they haven't taken a stand. And so they're part of the problem.

So they come to this realization they're part of the problem and they take on sins that the Bible doesn't say are sins and they apologize essentially for other people's sins. I'm gonna explain this more in a minute, but that's what they're doing.

That's what they're going through. So the next step is they repent of it. They own their privilege. They take responsibility for their supposed sin. So they stop supporting whiteness. That's the putting off of the old man, right?

According to Scripture, that would be like the you're gonna put away the deeds of darkness. Well, they stop supporting whiteness. We're not gonna support, perhaps, the police anymore like we did. Or we're not gonna support cultural icons, symbols, figures like, you know, maybe a George Washington or a George Whitefield or a Robert E. Lee or moving into the present, perhaps.

Even, you know, some of the the former presidents like an Eisenhower or, believe me, I've seen these kinds of things where they come right to the edge of like the 1980s and they start lamenting everything that happened before that.

And we can't have those images here. We can't hold any of these men up as heroes. And then they participate in lamenting and raising awareness. That's the new ordinances like communion or baptism. These are the rituals, the civic rituals.

We must all lament on social media and if you don't do it, there's a pressure. Believe me, there's a pressure. If you're silent and you just want to be neutral, you will not be allowed to be neutral any longer.

You must lament and you must raise awareness. You must go evangelize for this cause. And you need to find forgiveness then from the oppressed people. Those are the new priests. Those who are oppressed have a special dispensation of grace upon them and they're able to grant you grace if you will go to them and apologize for not your sin but the sin of your people in which you are complicit.

It's very unbiblical and it is completely antithetical to the biblical gospel. Here's step three in this whole process and I've sort of already touched on it but you shame others, right? That's part of the evangelism.

You promote oppressed perspective. So those are the new holy books. Hey, you gotta go read Jamar Tisby, Color of Compromise. You need to read Eric Mason's Woke Church. You need to read Divided by Faith and whatever other books that they're promoting out there.

And these books, I'm not a stranger to this, what these books do is they will start usually at the foundation of what America is or Europe. They might go beyond that and then they will, it's like the 1619 project.

They say if you peel back all the layers, you're gonna find white supremacy at the core. It's the foundation. It motivates everything and they string examples along. They conveniently ignore things that don't fit their narrative and they string together along every example they can think of.

Sometimes they embellish, sometimes they, I've even seen where they start making things up. That sometimes happens and then other times they pick completely legitimate examples of a type of racism or white supremacy but it's all in this one bag and it's fundamental.

It motivates everything about the United States of America and the Western world, etc. And so they're gonna read these things and remember you have a generation of people that don't know history now. Two generations really.

They have not been taught history and this is going to fill that void. The vacuum is filled by reading one of those books and once that happens it's over for most of these guys. And every authority in their life, usually their pastor, their Christian leaders that they look to, and beyond that those voices in academia, those voices in politics, they're saying the same thing.

They're all in unison and they're saying this is the perspective. You need these oppressed perspectives. You're not capable of understanding these issues of even the looting going on right now unless you have an oppressed perspective.

So it's postmodern as well. And then they start making ultimatums and that is the new catechism and I'm gonna go into this a little more later but unless you denounce certain things or support certain things you are not part of the in-group.

You are not accepted in respectable society. New ultimatums. And of course if you aren't respectable in society then this is where church discipline comes in. You are kicked out. Not because you sinned in violation of the Word of God or you did something actually morally wrong but because you failed to meet their demands.

I'm gonna talk about this guys. I'm gonna talk about it and I hope you you have a listening ear. You may need to listen to this episode a few times. I'm gonna talk about what's going on right now and I'm going to relate it to what I just talked about and I'm gonna hopefully give you some answers, some tools for navigating discussions that you're likely already having with friends and family.

I want you to watch this and ask yourself does this describe the attitude that you're seeing in some of your friends right now who are now just recently getting woke.

Public Apologies, National Repentance, and Weaponized Humility

Excuse me. Hey, excuse me. I work for Black Lives Matter. I'm sorry. I work for Black Lives Matter. I'm sorry that I scared you. But since I work for that company my CEO has told me to come out today and to bring you on your knees because you have white privilege.

So if they see that a white person is getting on their knees that shows solidarity for the situation. The situation. And could you just please apologize for you know for your white privilege. Just apologize.

It's big. It's so it's large in this country. You know with this country we have that President Donald Duck, that clown in office. You know he's brought a lot of bigotry and you're not a part of it right?

No. And so you know just okay.

You have a great day. A woman who is descendant of some Europeans of some kind walking down the street and a man comes up to her and tells her that she needs to kneel down and she needs to essentially lament her whiteness and apologize for Donald Trump.

And you can tell she's frightened but she's also willing to do it. And this is this is where we're going. Now how much of what you're seeing with your friends is motivated by fear? I don't know. But for some it is fear.

They can tell that the current seems to be moving in this direction and they want to be on the right side of it. How about this example? It's a little different but watch this. Here you have a church it looks like approaching a protest of some kind.

They kneel down in the direction of the protesters. It looks like possibly like a Black Lives Matter protest. They're kneeling down towards the protesters and they're praying but their prayer is not just directed at God.

Their prayer is directed to those right in front of them. So I told you earlier that there are there's a new class of priests. Those who carry the oppressed perspective. And they are apologizing for what he terms systematic.

Systemic is probably what he meant. Racism. Systematic racism is what he says he's they're repenting of. So again it's a church that mainly comprised of people descendant from Europeans kneeling down to an audience that is comprised of those who are descendant from people from Africa and from from Europe clearly.

Some of them are mixed in that way and they are apologizing to them because of the color of their skin. I'd like to play for you a clip from C .S. Lewis on the dangers of national repentance. It's about six and a half minutes long but I think it's very important.

Listen closely to it if you would and I will explain why I played it.

After. The idea of national repentance seems at first sight to provide such an edifying contrast to that national self-righteousness of which England is so often accused and with which he entered or is said to have entered the last war that a Christian naturally turns to it with hope.

Young Christians especially last year's undergraduates and first-year curates are turning to it in large numbers. They are ready to believe that England bears part of the guilt for the present war and ready to admit their own share in the guilt of England.

What that share is I do not find it easy to determine. Most of these young men were children and none of them had a vote or the experience which would enable them to use a vote wisely when England made many of those decisions to which the present disorders could plausibly be traced.

Are they perhaps repenting what they have in no sense done? If they are it might be supposed that their error is very harmless. Men fail so often to repent their real sins that the occasional repentance of an imaginary sin might appear almost desirable.

But what actually happens, I have watched it happening, to the youthful national penitent, is a little more complicated than that. England is not a natural agent but a civil society. When we speak of England's actions we mean the actions of the British government.

The young man who is called upon to repent of England's foreign policy is really being called upon to repent the acts of his neighbor. For a foreign secretary or a cabinet minister is certainly a neighbor.

And repentance presupposes condemnation. The first and fatal charm of national repentance is, therefore, the encouragement it gives us to turn from the bitter task of repenting our own sins to the congenial one of bewailing, but first of denouncing, the conduct of others.

If it were clear to the young penitent that this is what he is doing no doubt he would remember the law of charity. Unfortunately the very terms in which national repentance is recommended to him conceal its true nature.

By a dangerous figure of speech he calls the government not they but we. And since, as penitents, we are not encouraged to be charitable to our own sins nor to give ourselves the benefit of any doubt, a government which is called we is, ipso facto, placed beyond the sphere of charity or even of justice.

You can say anything you please about it. You can indulge in the popular vice of detraction without restraint, and yet feel all the time that you are practicing contrition. A group of such young penitents will say, let us repent our national sins.

What they mean is, let us attribute to our neighbor, even our Christian neighbor in the cabinet, whenever we disagree with him, every abominable motive that Satan can suggest to our fancy. Such an escape from personal repentance into that tempting region, where passions have the privilege to work and never hear the sound of their own names, would be welcome to the moral cowardice of anyone.

But it is doubly attractive to the young intellectual. When a man over 40 tries to repent the sins of England and to love her enemies, he is attempting something costly, for he was brought up to certain patriotic sentiments which cannot be mortified without a struggle.

But an educated man who is now in his twenties usually has no such sentiment to mortify. In art, in literature, in politics, he has been, ever since he can remember, one of an angry and restless minority.

He has drunk in, almost with his mother's milk, a distrust of English statesmen, and a contempt for the manners, pleasures, and enthusiasms of his less educated fellow countrymen. All Christians know that they must forgive their enemies.

But my enemy primarily means the man whom I am really tempted to hate and traduce. If you listen to young Christian intellectuals talking, you will soon find out who their real enemy is. He seems to have two names, Colonel Blimp and the Businessman.

I suspect that the latter usually means the Speaker's father, but that is speculation. What is certain is that in asking such people to forgive the Germans and Russians, and to open their eyes to the sins of England, you are asking them not to mortify, but to indulge their ruling passions.

I do not mean that what you are asking them is not right and necessary in itself. We must forgive all our enemies, or be damned. But it is emphatically not the exhortation which your audience needs. The communal sins which they should be told to repent are those of their own age and class—its contempt for the uneducated, its readiness to suspect evil, its self-righteous provocations of public obloquy, its breaches of the Fifth Commandment.

Of these sins I have heard nothing among them. Till I do, I must think their candour towards the national enemy a rather inexpensive virtue. If a man cannot forgive the Colonel Blimp next door, whom he has seen, how shall he forgive the dictators whom he has not seen?

Is it not then the duty of the Church to preach national repentance? I think it is. But the office, like many others, can be profitably discharged only by those who discharge it with reluctance. We know that a man may have to hate his mother for the Lord's sake.

The sight of a Christian rebuking his mother, though tragic, may be edifying. But only if we are quite sure that he has been a good son, and that, in his rebuke, spiritual zeal is triumphing, not without agony, over strong natural affection.

The moment there is reason to suspect that he enjoys rebuking her, that he believes himself to be rising above the natural level, while he is still, in reality, grovelling below it in the unnatural, the spectacle becomes merely disgusting.

The hard sayings of our Lord are wholesome to those only who find them hard. There is a terrible chapter in Monsieur Mauriac's Vie de Jésus. When the Lord spoke of brother and child against parent, the other disciples were horrified.

Not so Judas. He took to it as a duck takes to water. Pourquoi cette stupeur? se demande Judas. Il aime dans la Christe cette vue simple, ce regard de Dieu sur l 'horreur humaine. For there are two states of mind which face the dominical paradoxes without flinching.

God guard us from one of them.

C. S. Lewis on National Repentance and the Danger of Enjoying Rebuke

Now here's why I wanted you to listen to that, not only because C .S. Lewis can articulate it better than I can, but because history rhymes. Lewis is talking about a time in England's history when young people before, actually it's during, World War II, are apologizing for the complicity of the politicians and the businessmen in their country, and the decisions which they made which led to what was happening in Europe at that time.

And they're saying that these decisions, in which they really had no part, are the fault of their parents and their grandparents, and they kind of, in a fake way, take personal responsibility to this by using the pronoun we.

By saying we apologize, when in reality they're actually apologizing for what they consider to be the sins of others, of their parents, of their grandparents, of businessmen, of politicians. So it shouldn't give someone pleasure to do an apology.

It shouldn't give them a buzz or think that they are morally superior or more righteous because they are the ones that are apologizing. But that's what was happening. Do you see the parallel? It's exactly what's happening today.

These apologies are weaponized apologies. They are actually very similar to what you see in Luke 1811, when the Pharisee stood by himself and he prayed and he said, thank you Lord that I'm not a sinner like everyone else.

I don't cheat. I don't sin. I don't commit adultery. That's the effect of these apologies because what they're essentially saying is, oh I'm so sorry. It's a fake humility. I'm so sorry for this white supremacy that I have, for the horrible things that I've done, when in reality they're using the we as white people across time and space.

And they're saying, I'm apologizing for what others have done and my complicity in what others have done. But ultimately it's the others. And then if you don't apologize, if you don't participate in that apology, well you just aren't morally righteous.

So they get to virtue signal about how morally righteous they are, that they understand their privilege. They understand the sin that they've committed. Meanwhile, it's hanging people like you out to dry because you don't perhaps feel like you have anything to apologize for.

You haven't committed any violence or said anything hateful in the name of racism. And if you have, then perhaps you've made it right. And once you've made it right with the person that you've actually sinned against, then it's over.

You are forgiven at that point. The people that are apologizing in these group apologies, they're not after that. They're not after actual forgiveness that's going to say, we're done. And no reason to apologize anymore.

This group of people over here is now reconciled to this group of people over here. It won't happen. They're not after something that's actually effective to take away sin and that will last perpetually.

They're after something that will, in the moment, give them political superiority and a sense of self-righteousness and throw those under the bus who aren't willing to own their privilege. That's what's going on here.

And you'll get blowback sometimes from people who will say, hey, the Bible has national repentance in it, doesn't it? It gives us a model for how to do this. And the reality is there are corporate apologies in the Bible.

But I'm going to show you this chart. Remember this when everyone brings this up. Biblically speaking, national repentance is found throughout Scripture under these four conditions. For present participation in actual sin by the actual perpetrators, vertically to the Lord, resulting in forgiveness.

That's what you find. In contrast, today's corporate apologies are for past wrongs by descendants horizontally to people perpetually. Remember that if someone tries to use, oh, Israel repented as a people for something, start putting it through that grid and then compare it to the weaponized apologies that really the left is trying to persuade those in the supposed majority culture to participate in.

So I hope that was helpful on the corporate apologies. Now I need to say this. We, all of us, if we look back in our history, if we start tracing back, go to ancestry .com or something, we start looking back at our families, things get pretty complex pretty quick.

I know for my ancestors, I have all kinds of people, people I wouldn't probably want to tell you about and people I'd be really proud of. But I know this. I have in this country, in the United States of America, examples of oppression in my family, and Europe, I will say.

I trace back to the Reformation. I'm a direct descendant of John Knox. I trace back to the Radical Reformation in some ways. I mean, my family tree goes all over the place. The pilgrims who came to this country included members of my own family.

I'm a descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, came over on the Mayflower. They were coming over because of religious persecution against them in England. I have family that are Virginians. They came over to Virginia as indentured servants, which at the time, you know, it's interesting, the 1619 Project likes to say, well, that was when slavery started in this country.

It was actually indentured servitude that they're referring to there. It was pretty much the same kind of system. And it happened organically. But some of the members of my family are part of that. More notably, perhaps, I have members of my family who were impoverished and pretty much burned out of their homes, poor as dirt for generations because of what Sherman's Army did in Mississippi.

That affected all kinds of people, descendants from Africa, descendants from Europe. And I'm not asking for reparations because of any of that. I'm not out there asking that people, hey, was your great, great, great, great grandfather in Sherman's Army, you ought to apologize to me.

Oh, you're British. Interesting. You know, my family was really persecuted by the British. You better get on your knees right now and apologize for that privilege. Oh, you're from Virginia. Interesting.

I wonder if your great, great, great, great grandfather had indentured servants because you know what, my family, we have indentured servants. Interestingly enough, with all the ways that you can trace my family heritage back, my family history, we haven't found one slave owner, not one.

And supposedly, because I am white, I have to bear the full brunt of the sub-Saharan, the transatlantic slave trade. But your family, I'm sure, has similar things in their background. And of course, I'm not looking at everything here.

I'm sure there's more examples I could give. But if you look at your family's history, you're going to find examples of triumph. You're going to find examples of barriers that they overcame, of injustices that were done to them.

What do you do about it now? What are you going to do about it? It's one of the problems with this revolution that we're undergoing. It only looks at one particular narrative. And it only vilifies one particular group of people.
