He writes frequently on race politics Current Events and cultural issues and is passionate about Solutions Rather than political partisan bickering. Its my pleasure to introduce charles love. [applause] thank you stephanie. Let me adjust this because i know i need intend to be attended the louder and i speak a little t fast. Is that better . Ias want to be able to allow you to ask questions and speak at the end. What i want to do here today to talk about the book and why he wrote it and what its about or talk or target audience and talk about that at the end. Before talk about the book i want to talk about how i and the pier. I like many of you was just a regular guy going about my life seeing what was happening but not so concerned with it. As stephanie mentioned i wrote three books that i started off with a collection of notes. Barack obama had won and my friends were talking about it and they hadnt done that before. It was like a history book, this didnt make sense so i wrote the book to tell the truth about in the Republican Party. It wasnt until the endorsement of the Republican Party i was the propaganda at the time and that i was and im not again. But i said if you are a liberal where you have liberal ideals and you want democrats to the line with your beliefs you should do that but i didnt understandvi the this bogeyman view of republicans like they are out to get you. I want to debunkw some myths but they were sharing amongst themselves. Then i went back to my life and didnt do anything else and then i noticed the culture were shifting in a dramatic fashion. No one is really talking about this the way i think it should be talked about so i said i have a busy life and wife and kids and their job like everyone else so if im going to do this i need to Say Something that others arent saying. I wrote my last book on how the fight for equality gave way and the point was pleased to have legitimate sites and the best proof that things are better now is that people are manufacturing sites. So i take the things that they say and i say but is it true and its a different approach that i take which is really important. I like many conservatives write what the left is that i disagres with. I do the same thing but i dont do it in attack mode. I have the second argument when i say lets give lets assume youre right. You cannot debate me because im not saying you are wrong. So lets assume thats true. It is what you are doing going to lead to a solution . The that simple. Even if youre right we are still in trouble because you arent focused on the solution and you dont talk aboutas the solution so thats the point of the book. I was fortunate enough to start my am560 radio show and i was the man out. People were like talk about this . Politics is downstream from culture but we are always talking about the downstream. It was fine until that point. And its an election year. Everybody is doubling down and here i am talking about covid. When i wrote the book i wrote it in 17 and i came out in 18 and i said this culture is going to shift further to the left is goingre to be incredibly toxic d about race. And the george floyd thing excel or braided accelerated. It left the show i was on here in assad lets see what i do next and Sean Thompson had the opportunity to sit in for cortez. I took over o his show and if yu ever listen to the show its all constitution politics. So i thought it be great to do that leading up to the election. Im building my own idea and i dont want to shift so what i want to do . Hear him stepping into seans highly partisan political view and im talking abouteo the culture. People call and say whys are you talking about it . Ready now to do. We got the blueprint from the Civil Rights Act for the movement were from the bible. I love my neighbor as i love myself. My argument was that make sense and we are dealing with logic. If you arent talking that raised and they are talking about race you losee the race conversation. And if you are republican and you wonder why the lax agree with you on certain issues but they dont vote for you its because you dont go to the black community and all that heres theel democrats in their community telling them what to believe and let me tell you it aint good. And you werent there to defend yourself. I h kept going along with the culture and i said thats whats going to happen. I had a lot of guests on talking about how we fix the problems and we talk about the issue whether to discipline or the curriculum or the country as a whole hiding behind the rest of the world. They were all saying what do we do and they say and its not the cause im not an advocate of school choice. What you are missing is why you were in this fight and the other side is opposing you and we had a win in illinois he will win all of the country and you will say yea we say yea we won this thing and look up andut find out because you werent paying attention to the culture what youre going to find is those vouchers to get to go to thesehe better schools youll be sending these disadvantaged kids to schools that are just as bad. They are safer but they are teaching the same toxic ideology that you are trying to get them out and look at what we are doing we are doing today. Within main argument is. And i shouldnt say because its but i told you so. So now what . I was writing about what was going on and i wrote an article i think i called it woke this about toothed outpatients speak for blacks. Doesnt blacks. Doesnt mean they are there in issues in the black community andev their are those who think whatever they think and want the system to change but they were all absolute. They were all hunkered down and all blacks are being shot in the trstreets and all blacks are in the criminal Justice System and they are wrong. This became an issue i so i wroe this article and i was upset at the times i just heard braiding and a went viral may pick it up and the newspapers picked it up and Rush Limbaugh read it on the show. And i said what is missing and this . Address i wanted to talk about what i call and book the Progressive Movement and i say dont put adjectives in front of it because he put adjectives in front of you change it. If you want justice you just want justice. Why do you need social and private . But this is a play on that. Inin their mind they do the same thing. M the racist of 1840s and im and blacks are inferior so we must separate them and we all say that is racist. The guy today says are inherently bad and their whiteness is being sugared everywhere and we need to separate the country from matt and we need to admit they are guilty and on this from 50 years ago. Saying they arehi genetically different, its different because our intent is different. We are doing it from a good place but its not racist. Its progressive racism and thats what it is. The two best examples i could use would be blm and the 1619 project. Blm i took the same approach. I said blm is wrong and its a false equivalency. Are there issues here . Our weekend is currently shooting black men . No. Other black people in jail . Yes because you complain about mass incarceration. The Police Wanted to hunt down the black man yet somehow they end up in jail. No one is hunting them. Osimply not sure. This is important because how you go about fixingab the problm depends on how bad you think the problem is. We think we havero a problem and its not taking over the country but it needs to be addressed and for me think about what works. If you think the country is wholly racist and hunting down black people and killing them for no reason of course your solution is going to be to burn the whole system down. Thats why i point out why they are flawed. Beyond that my target audience is conservatives because i may say i created you and liberals and some disagree with me. Theres a difference between liberals and the far left. Liberals donts. Like republicas and they dont like you if they disagree with you however they love free speech and do not like the fact that they are being called racist right now. If youou dont believe me go lok at belmar and look at the things that they are saying. Their politics didnt change. They were like i was on your side and now you call a todays left and im a racist and its. On our the media is not side there arent enough of us physically. Many of them when they started to go out and speak aboutt it they can talk to an audience that we cant talk to. To them i give them that argument so lets not debate that. What we can do though is that if thats the case how do we solve it . Thet far left to st. Bernard all down. But we dont agree with that. Why dont you join us in solving the cultural side and is racism and the radical left and we can argue. Issues afterthefact. I explained what they really believe. We have people giving all this money and will give them holidays and have them all this money. Many people look at this and say look at all this money theye are getting. I explained in that book why thats hard to do. And i talk about why in the book. But its not about where the moneyig is going. We can go to the people who were giving them the money and explain what they believe and say if you believe this after knowing what they believe and you still give them money by all means do it. I dont think they know you heard the debate in defund the police. It will lead to dangerous neighborhoods and the people said we dont really mean to fund it. Its a y euphemism. We made briella kate resources and give them reallocate resources and give them support. We are abolitionist. We want to abolish prisons jails and we dont want polic and school. Its kindd of hard to take those words out of context. Most people dont know that. When i was doing this research it would be like debunking the blm movement. Itd. Was. I found this article the headline said blm but in the article it was philanthropy takes that money he gives it to the movement for black lives. And if you take nothing else from this when you please look it up the movement for black lives. I a found it and its a treasure trove. N they have asked a that their britain when they are ready to give congress an day of the preamble the constitution. Its. All about all the things that they believe and all but demands that they have. Its reparations for migrants and all gb to you and i think they use the word they made up called patriarchy. We have pushed to the front of her movement trans gender nonconforming emperor kearsley cash for but its not about what you agree that or not. And if you say that two liberal they are like the goal is to stop givingor them money. And the other piece is the 1619 project. This really bothers me. I talk about the only thing i say in the book is why i didnt write about it and the conversation surrounding it was starting when i wrote the book but it still doesnt matter and im not againstst that. Its not that i say i dont like the argument that their different ways to attack the problem. F the issue is if youre watching it with you here . You hear its terrible for her children. We are teaching sierra t. Yes you are. You dont even know a crt is. And w then it goes nowhere. You cant do that with the 1619 project so i take three or purchase them i think the 1619 project is more important crt. No one is going to tell you they arent teaching it in school. It was written at the end of the summer 2019 by 4500 schools d. C. Baltimore about chicago had adopted it so to there schools. Its everywhere. And in my mind technically im a little guy. Its worse than crt because crt says raises important to the country so wek cant ignore it o we have to bring to the schools and talk about it and my kids understand what its about. Whites control everything so we need to have the locus and wed amplify the voices of blacks. We want to teach culturally relevant culture and every class. If you want blacks to be better at math teach it the way they learn it. Im not saying its not bad. Now soak that in a contrasted to the 1619 project. It was reimagining the founding of america. When the first black africans were brought in as in what they say is and antiblack racism is endemic to america and air america could not have been founded and its the dna of america. Your dna could not be changed. Thats your dna. So that is my logical argument its the dna of america. Why do we try to change it . What good will it do if you tear downll the system because its n our dna that still there but when you rebuild the system guess whats going to be in it . Like i racism. The other thing they say everybody writes an essay on all different topics trying to explain their problem in the process of the country and why its a problem and its all pointed around not racism. What it says is every problem we face in America Today can be directly linkedav to. If education is bad. If more blacks are in jail, slavery and i think thats than what crt is pushing. So what do we do . The wrote a chapter in every essay in the 1619 project and i say this is what they say and i forgot to tell you the third reason. Its because its mostly true. I have to be honest its 90 years that he cant instantly just disputed. They paint wonderful pictures of slavery and they use individual stories because people love and art from stories. If you want to tell the story but a black man who found a way to make money and their racist in this neighborhood killed him because he was making too muchh money. The problem is they leave a lot out so if you are teaching this in school and you go to an eleventhgrader andy teachin this and they are like let me check and see if its right and they look it up but they dont know what you left out. They think its all over america. Whats it going to do . Its going to make for angry disgruntled citizens who the country. They talk about the founders may say the founders owned. Is that true . Might book comes out tuesday and hers comes out the following tuesday and i talk about the interview she did and she corrected some of the inaccuracies andra she admits hw can you deny . Toucan sam run. She said you should have said some and not all. Thats true. She talked about the founders and i written the book the founders were slaves and she never said some and not all of them owned slaves and some were abolitionists. They talked about abolitionist and reconstruction but they meant in the oneterm president in 1876 and never matching grant the general who won the war and this overwrites movement and the antiact of 1971. Because there cant be any positives in the project. Theg. Eschip is there no positis in the 1619 project not one thing. The only positive is blacks did thisro and they hung them ad theres all that imagery. You know they talk about a couple of stories of blacks who had struggled but they dont mention booker t. Washington or any of thosese people. Can you please give me something good about blacks and lastly like crt and like the lm there are no solutions. Nobody says what this is bad bu. You have 14 essays from a harvard law grad and attorneys have argued cases that the supreme court. The editor of the New York Times magazine all the people read these wonderful essays and not one solution . The not one . Nobody talks about how many blacks are in elected office in what they can doto to help this supposedly is a system . And nothing . And we teach them as kids . Its terrible so this is the problem with the Progressive Movement. My site is to simply say things arent as bad as you are painting them and if they are uart doing anything to make them better. I think its a great tool to give to your liberal friends w because im sure those of you who have moved away to get into these debates. If they are on the cusp dont read it dont even read charles word. Just read their quotes and as much as we talk about the media and they are biased theres another piece on tvy especially. You have a small finite amount of time. And to be fair i think iran is treated unfairly in the media. Look at nancy pelosi. If nancy says something she will speak for 11 minutes. Ted cruz will Say Something and hell findy that clip so what i want to do is make sure that they give you enough that you stay in that context. You might get two paragraphs and you might get what they said their research they used for the quote and they write essays about things. The me tell you things that are linked to slavery. Sugar. How many of you have read it . Its in your kids schools and granted schools. This is actually intended 15,000 schools and nobody has read it. Ou up. T making this if you have time to link in an get past the New York Times paywall turn to the chapter and whatever essay. I say who the person is and they were bona fide and its right. They will say american capitalism iss brutal and races. So slavery is capitalism now . The thought that capitalism is an economic system. Other capitalism is good that american capitalism is bad. Heres the funny thing these people claim they love their country. If you look them up there like i love the country. Theres i no way you can love te country went slavery and racism is in your dna . What do you mean you love the country . That is just it makes no sense. They talk about people who say blm is the movement. The average person is not really going to listen to that but i leave you with some hope the best thing we have g going for s is people are starting to wake up. The liberals have lost the media to the left and thats true. Theres a bad and a good but the problem is tonight talked to my friends and family and i get it. We all get caught in what we are in what we are working on whether its abortion or education or criminal justice we focus on that thing and we dont look around and see whats going on. What is important for you to understand is this. The country is 30 Million People. Look it up. Whats the most popular show on fox news . With the most popularma show on msnbc . Thou . Find your most famous New York Times writer on the left orr right or the economist, and see the circulation of the near times. We see how bad it is and we are concerned. Sometimes you to take a step back. 200 Million People
