It's weird because stopping it or suppressing it made it 10 times bigger than it would have been if it just went out there.

If they just ignored the video, Brad, my video would probably still be at 200K.
22:34
them putting the warning i i actually went to my comment section probably 50 of the comments were about the warning it wasn't even about what i said in the video nobody even cared what i said it's sitting at like 350 000 likes right now i doubt that like 50 of those people actually even believe anything that i said or or even on the the side of the like whatever left or right leaning That the video is even talking about totalitarianism.

So it's kind of like everyone should be against the government locking you up for saying something mean to someone.
23:08
It's not really left or right, I'd assume.
23:11
But yeah, that's the thing.
23:14
They really made it.

I'm seeing color like I've never seen it before because it's being forced down our throat.

So, Joe, I guess the question is, when you hear this, when you say this, when I framed it the way it is, like, how do you believe or do you believe race has been weaponized to divide people of color against white people? Or am I way off?
4:41
You honestly nailed it.
4:43
The thing about it is, when you look at the word racist, racism, whatever these terms may be, they don't really actually have a meaning.
4:52
Their meaning changes based on the context of what you're talking about in the conversation.
4:57
So the thing about racism is it's a very loaded term, so people can use it as they see fit in really any context they want, and it can change meanings.
5:07
For example, I think that it's extremely racist to think that black people don't have access to the necessary the necessary things that you need in order to qualify for voter ID, because, first of all, it assumes that black people are incapable of doing something as simple as getting an ID, which is I don't even know where I can even start with that one.
5:33
It's actually so asinine that it's strange for me to even be articulating this.
7:46
And then from the Obama era till now, it's increased so much, not only in the media and the amount of times the word racism, racist or racism is used, but like, how do we have open conversations when everything between you and I will be considered contentious if it's clips? Like, how do we have open convos?
