Is this Racist? w/ Matt Walsh #Shorts #Podcast #Politics

I feel like somebody who doesn’t have racist tendencies wouldn’t feel the need to constantly explain himself the way Matt Walsh does. Most people don’t think about this 24/7.

I'd rather be safe and prepared for the worst than unsafe and blissfully ignorant

When did Al Borlan get into politics? Is this what he’s been up to after Home Improvement?

It is ok to feel scared if you see someone, and within reason, you feel uneasy. I’ve been out at night and have be weary of people of all ethnicities who look sketchy (and you can usually tell). It has nothing to do with their skin color, but it’s perhaps how they’re carrying themselves or how they look at you. However, if you feel that way simply because someone is black and minding their own business, then you need to question why you feel that way. It seems like he’s trying to excuse the latter because everyone understands to some degree what it’s like to actually feel threatened by a stranger. However, these two situations are not the same.

Many on the left side of politics misunderstand the cognitive science of bias. They often misattribute nefarious intent to low-resolution, automatic reactions based on categories. While we can call this implicit bias, it is fundamentally an automatic, survival-oriented process designed to help us respond quickly to perceived threats. For example, feeling heightened caution in a dark alley in a rough neighborhood is a normal, adaptive response—just as walking in daylight in a busy area feels safer.

Two things can be true simultaneously: a person could fear for their safety in the context described in this clip while also being Black. This example is often cited by the left when discussing Black interactions with the police. However, despite the narrative, the probability of experiencing lethal force by the police is far lower than being involved in a car accident—or even a plane crash. Yet, due to the narrative that the likelihood of police violence against Blacks is much higher, there is a miscalculation of the actual risk, leading to automatic fear responses.

Mechanistically, both scenarios—the fear of danger in a dark alley and the fear of police interactions—are valid as emotional responses, even if the actual probabilities differ. So, no, it doesn’t automatically make you prejudice.

I'm sure a lotta Black dudes check their shit when they see a shady looking Black dude coming their way.

I would hold my purse if I was a woman lol but it would depend on what type of work I was passing the tight of his pants hanging down to do rag on his head and of course I would hold my purse, but if it’s a black guy in a suit, or in construction clothes or someone that looks like, they’re actually doing society some good then no there would be no need to clutch your purse so theres your answer

This woman live in fantasy land

If I’m walking down a dark alley late at night and I see ANYONE walking towards me my guards going to be up

Smh she still doesn’t get it

This is not racist, Jillian. Recognizing that a group that makes up 7% of the population commit 56% of the violent crime in this country, and deciding to switch sides of the street, is simply situational awareness.

It makes you a pragmatist. I was mugged by two black kids, my roommate was mugged by two black dudes and my girlfriend was mugged by a black guy. I hope you are starting to connect the dots.

If your reason to do anything has merit, then assuming the reason for doing that thing is racist is incorrect.

I heard someone say Pierre Pollievre is racist because, when he was asked about his position on how the federal government is compensating indeigenous people. He put forth some things he would change with reasons to back it up. It wasnt remotely racist. But leftists think that we shouldnt even be allowed to talk about how we spend taxpayer money if its related to indigenous people 🤷

I’m going to say if you are walking down a street especially alone. I believe that most women will hold their purses tighter not because they see a black man but because they see a man. It makes them sexist rather than raciest and there is no problem with that they are being alert and protecting themselves and their property. But it’s when women instead of just saying it’s natural instinct say it’s a societal, problem that they have to hold their purses tightly that is where the problem lies.

It's refreshing to hear people being honest and saying what most of us think! This is what the left condemn and want to try and "condition" you to think a different way when really this is just normal at the moment!
