Open Racism is bad for business. It scares the money away

追加: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]The Yancey's came over here. One of their German legal scholars, the man was named as Heinrich Kreger. This man actually studied race law at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville during the 1930s because the Nazi officials wanted to understand how America legally managed racial segregation inside a supposed democracy democratic society. How do you do that?

[00:00:23]How do you deprive people of their rights inside of democratic society where everybody is supposed to be equal? That is a hell of a math question to be answered. Let's go over here and see what the what the Americans have done.

[00:00:34]But see, here's the here's the deeper point. Overt racism creates strategic problems for powerful nations. When racism becomes too damn obvious, it damages international credibility.

[00:00:45]America's enemies understood that.

[00:00:48]They weaponized America's racial hypocrisy against it constantly. They argued that capitalism and democracy and freedom were a scam designed to preserve white power while exploiting people of color, black people, and poor people.

[00:01:02]And and that's also one of the reasons that United States government spent so much time promoting black artists and musicians and athletes and diplomats overseas during the Cold War. Starting in the 19 Did y'all know that? Starting in the 1950s, the US State Department sponsored black jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie to travel overseas internationally as jazz ambassadors. See, we treat our negroes well. Look at him. Look at him play this little flute. This little See, look at him. See, we treat him well.

[00:01:34]Look at our special need That's what they do. You see?

[00:01:38]And the government hoped that these tours would counter this Soviet propaganda by showing the world successful black Americans, okay, representing the United States abroad.

[00:01:48]Because see, at the end of the day, overt racism isn't just morally ugly, it's politically dangerous and it's economically harmful, okay? And and diplomatically it's embarrassing and it's strategically weak. Once racism becomes too visible, it stops being deniable and once the world can clearly see America's enemies use it as evidence that the country's own ideals are fraudulent. Keep in mind, family, the vast majority of the world of of of people of some degree of color.

[00:02:18]What we call white people, which is actually a new invention, are uh you know, a tiny percentage on the planet, less than 7%. They are literally a tiny percentage on the planet, okay?

[00:02:30]And here's the thing, when you start opening you know, and so you know, the rest of the world sees how poor you treat these black and brown people over here, they're like, "Hold on a minute.

[00:02:40]Hold on a minute. We Y'all we ain't fooling with y'all like that. Okay?"

[00:02:47]Now, again, my general concept and and discussion today is that I'm going to try to explain why chud the building is bad for business, okay? Oh, cuz open racism is bad for business. So, when you start looking at racial violence in American history and I kind of alluded to this before, Red Summer, Tulsa, massacre, destruction of Black Wall Street, uh a lot of these are attacks on prosperous black communities, okay?

[00:03:13]All right, whether we talking about the South, the Midwest, whatever.

[00:03:16]See, white supremacy racism wasn't it's not about the the system of racism. It's not about personal hatred, okay?

[00:03:25]I want you to understand that. It's not about personal it's about a system denying certain people a certain class of people based on their ethnicity and race. It it it it was also about protecting economic dominance and and suppressing competing economic power.

[00:03:40]Now, okay? Are y'all learning something?

[00:03:42]I know I'm going fast, but it's a lot of material. I want y'all to get this and I want you to get it quick, okay?

[00:03:48]All right.

[00:03:49]But the main thing is that's a that that is an economic element that economic element still matters today. Open racism is not just morally ugly. It's bad business. Somebody type bad business.

[00:04:01]It's financially reckless. It scares the money away.

[00:04:04]It scares investment and talent and tourism and trade away. Do you know that we are down on tourism? You know why Vegas is dying?

[00:04:12]Japanese and they're not coming over here.

[00:04:14]Okay? Too many ice walking around.

[00:04:17]All right?

[00:04:19]They're bypassing the United States. You got a lot of Canadians. They don't want to come down here either.

[00:04:24]Okay? They want they're going to the Bahamas and Mexico.

[00:04:28]You're messing up your international partnerships. If you're a wealthy Japanese investor and you believe Asian people are openly discriminated against in America, why would you invest billions of dollars here?

[00:04:39]If you're an African oil executive or a Nigerian businessman or a Saudi investor or a wealthy Arab entrepreneur, why would you bring your money into a society where minorities are being openly harassed and profiled and attacked?

[00:04:55]And the same goes for Hispanic businessmen and international corporations and African governments and foreign investors all over the world.

[00:05:02]Money likes stability.

[00:05:04]Money likes predictability. Money likes safety. That's why you don't invest in your your play cousin's uh your your third cousin's car wash scam idea.

[00:05:16]You're like, "No, I'm going to go ahead and go and look at one of these Fortune 500 companies and invest in stock market." That's what you did.

[00:05:23]Right?

[00:05:25]Okay? Cuz you like stability.

[00:05:27]You want to be able to get your money back with a return.

[00:05:30]Open racism creates instability and social tension and lawsuits and protests and violence and bad international publicity and political division. You think people overseas aren't looking at what your the builder was doing and nobody did anything about it till this man shot somebody? What are the What do you think the Chinese would say?

[00:05:48]We look like idiots to the Chinese. We look You can talk about Oh, China's oppressive, but you got this man who's been walking around aggravating people with a gun and popped somebody and y'all wait till he shot somebody before you arrested him.

[00:06:03]That's bad business.

[00:06:05]Chuck the builder and open racism are bad for tourism. They're bad for international trade. And that's why overt racism eventually becomes a problem even for for for for people who privately benefit from the racial hierarchy. Once racism becomes too visible, it begins interfering with the flow of the money and the economic growth.

[00:06:27]And that's one reason America has repeatedly tried to soften or rebrand rebrand its racial image throughout history. The country understands it can't dominate the global economy and at the same time look like a racially hostile society on the world stage.

[00:06:45]America wants foreign investment.

[00:06:47]America wants international trade.

[00:06:49]America wants the brightest minds and the wealthiest investors and the strongest businesses relationships from around the world.

[00:06:56]That's what you want.

[00:06:58]Well, when you got clowns like Chuck the builder walking around calling folks chimps and stuff like that, that interferes with all that.

[00:07:06]And see, at the center of white supremacy, racism has always been an economic incentive. It's economics. It's the money.

[00:07:13]The goal is to suppress the economic growth of some groups while protecting the uplifting the economic positions of others. That's why racism historically intensifies whenever people believe wealth and land, jobs and contracts and political influence and economic power are shifting away. And and that's also why open racism eventually creates backlash.

[00:07:35]Once racism becomes too obvious and too embarrassing and and too costly and financially uh and powerfully powerful institutions begin to step in because the damage to the business and the national stability become too expensive to ignore. Now, are y'all still with me? Are you learning something?

[00:07:55]Huh, are you learning something?

[00:07:57]Let me know that you're learning something. Are you learning something?

[00:08:00]Huh?

[00:08:02]Let me know.

[00:08:03]All right, now. Let's get back to it now.

[00:08:07]Um you know, American overt racism on the on the 20th I want to I want to something I've been building off earlier, okay?

[00:08:20]One of the strongest recruiting tools that America's enemies used was the overt racism of the 20th century. And I've hinted on this before and I'm going to talk you guys about this again. We're going to drive this point home. Many of our so-called black intellectuals and activists became interested in socialism and communism because they saw capitalism in America operating along segregation and lynching and exploitation and racial inequality. You have people like Paul Robeson, Angela Davis, the Black Panther Party, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr.

[00:09:01]Jr.

[00:09:02]They explored these socialist ideas because they believe America had failed to fairly distribute economic opportunity to black citizens. Oh, listen to what I'm saying, okay? Just listen. The argument for for for from the socialists was real easy to understand. If the capitalist system allowed rich white elites to maintain power while poor black Americans remained oppressed, then perhaps wealth and power needed to be redistributed through the government intervention, okay? In other words, we're going to let the government come in and take the money from the rich white folk. They don't want us to have it anyway. They burnt up all our stuff.

[00:09:39]Okay, we talking about between 1920 and 1970 when you had the rise of these black folk intellectuals, you know, black renaissance, etc., etc. But see, here's the problem. Many black communities that that that once focused when that began to set in, when that mindset, we going to let the government get it for us and give it to us, you know, we stopped focusing on building like we had been doing and ownership and institution building and land acquisition and banking economic independence, we gradually became dependent on the government systems and political promises instead of continuing the strong tradition of independent black institution building that existed after slavery. You see, we got a black man right now.

[00:10:25]He'd been trying to build a school for like 15 years.

[00:10:28]But the black folk that came about of slavery, they built like 150 schools in 15 years. Uh you know what I'm saying?

[00:10:35]You see what I'm saying?

[00:10:36]You see?

[00:10:38]But they got together. They were builders. Somebody type builders to beggars. Somebody type builders to beggars. We sat around and wait for the government to give it to us.

[00:10:46]And then in walks the Democrats say, "Hey, y'all. Want some welfare?" It's kind of the same thing.

[00:10:51]"We'll give you some money." Kind of the same thing, right?

[00:10:55]So they So those leaders of ours so disgruntled and angry with capitalism in America in general, they said, "Well, hell. The government needs to do this job cuz you know, every time we get it on our own, they just burn our stuff down." And then the Democrats came in right after that say, "Hey, well, you know what? If you vote for us, we'll give you some free stuff."
