people laughing at exaggerated displays of Blackness. Don't we also laugh at exaggerated displays of Karens? I've seen as many Karen videos as anything else. I mean it's more about the people being interesting not, anyway, reflecting a tendency among some to see black people as walking hyperbole. Is that a problem? You know I woke up this morning and I thought you know I hope there's no big proble…
← Previous segment →believe that white people are why the ethnic studies are being taught in school? Now I do believe that probably in this particular school there might be more white people and therefore they might be the majority that are voting for it, right? But let me ask you this. If the black population of this same area in Minnesota, if the black population did not want ethnic studies, do you think that the white people would be pushing it? No. No you don't want it? No we don't want it. No you really do. No. So even though the white people are the ones doing all the promoting and voting and you know they might have control of the levers of power, they wouldn't do it unless there was a demand for it.
So here she is blaming the white people for doing, trying to do something that obviously they think is for the benefit of black people. But the important thing here is that it's a white people's fault. That's the important part. And I'm glad that this racist mother finally got to the important part that somehow it's still white people's fault. That's the key factor here.
Well speaking on more ridiculous race related things, the Association of American Medical Colleges had some data on different ethnicities getting into medical school. Now I had heard for a long time that Asian Americans were being suppressed and discriminated against and I think there was a lawsuit that they won. They showed that. But I didn't know how bad it was. Did you have any idea how bad it is? That the best Asian American student has the same chance of getting into medical school as the worst black student. It's the same. What? Now when I say the worst these are all people who are within the range of getting into medical school, right? So the worst person who gets into medical school is going to be smarter than the average person. But there's a huge difference.
Now as someone tweeted, it feels like they're trying to make you a racist. I mean let's be honest here. If you knew that one group of people was getting in with lower qualifications than the other on average, on average. Averages do not apply to any individual. But do you interview your doctor? Do you say well this is just a first interview. If things don't go well I'm going to talk to a few other doctors. Some of you do. Some of you do. But would you actually know how to judge your doctor's qualifications based on one conversation? Because if they have a degree from the same school what do you know about them? Nothing. You don't know anything about them.
How many of you think that it would be let's say morally suspect but wise to discriminate in choosing a doctor? How many think it would be to your best interest, although we don't like to discriminate I'm not recommending it. How many think it would be to your best interest to discriminate wildly in choosing a doctor given this data? Yeah it's mostly yeses of course. Now nobody can recommend discrimination but I would give you this following guide. If it's something about let's say hiring, hiring and firing, you should really judge the individual. You really should. If it's life and death though you should do whatever you need to stay safe. Would you agree? If it's life and death discriminate all you want. It's not even illegal. Would you go into a neighborhood that looked dangerous statistically or would you say well I'm going to judge all the individuals in that neighborhood individually? No you say that looks like a dangerous neighborhood, I'll stay out of it.
So yeah I do think that if you're not discriminating for your own well-being you're not doing it right. Scott doesn't know what discriminate means. Pretty sure I do. That's like the dumbest comment I've seen forever.
All right so that was disturbing that there's such a difference.
All right, there was a Trump rally in Waco and the Trump rally as the news likes to tell us is in the shadow of his many legal problems, his many illegal problems. So shall we summarize Trump's many legal problems? Yeah there are four of them and oh boy oh boy the walls are closing in.

s why I think the people of this country are saying," Cuomo continued, "it just feeds that anger and that cynicism and the partisanship." Cuomo continues, "It's a coincidence that Bragg goes after Trump and Tish James goes after Trump and Georgia goes after Trump. That's all a coincidence. I think it feeds the citizens and that's the cancer in our body politic right now." If you can't convince An…
