Black students are not "oppressed"

[00:00] do you think people should be judged

[00:01] based on the color of their skin

[00:03] it's not that i think that but it's that

[00:05] it's happening and you cannot ignore

[00:08] that i might not be treated the same as

[00:10] right

[00:11] you're right it is happening like at

[00:13] coca-cola they say they need to train

[00:14] their employees to abolish whiteness at

[00:17] a t they said they would need to train

[00:18] their employees to get rid of whiteness

[00:20] we have a supply and demand issue with

[00:22] racism in our country we have an

[00:24] incredibly low supply of racism and

[00:26] incredible demand to try to fulfill it

[00:28] so we've created racism where it doesn't

[00:30] exist and try to turn everyone into many

[00:32] races against each other which has now

[00:34] manifested itself into a massive

[00:36] anti-white movement in our country where

[00:40] i believe

[00:41] more than anything else we should care

[00:42] about character not skin color do you

[00:44] agree with that

[00:46] it's not i don't i don't believe that

[00:48] you understand what i'm saying it's not

[00:50] that i don't agree with not um

[00:53] i'm sorry oh it's not that i don't agree

[00:55] with um

[00:56] you know what you just said but

[01:00] you have to realize that

[01:02] it's

[01:04] black people are like white people are

[01:06] not

[01:07] being

[01:08] haunted hunted after y'all can come here

[01:10] and live a great freaking life alabama

[01:12] is a safe haven these phd fraternities

[01:15] and sororities are a safe haven you

[01:17] think you're being hunted

[01:19] let me okay y'all can laugh but until

[01:22] you have walked as a black person on

[01:24] this campus

[01:25] y'all truly y'all truly don't understand

[01:27] and i under and i have i've gone to

[01:29] school white people my whole life i've

[01:31] strong

[01:33] but it's just i will end with this um

[01:35] you're not being haunted at the

[01:36] university of alabama

[01:38] and there is no boogeyman that's trying

[01:40] to get you he's not you're making you're

[01:41] making you're making it you live in the

[01:43] least racist country in the history of

[01:45] the world you're an elephant in alabama

[01:48] you are literally in the

[01:50] place where

[01:51] it's not okay

[01:53] yes you mean the place that has given

[01:55] you more talking time

[01:57] than any other person here and where

[01:58] they sit respectfully down and be like

[02:00] go sit down i mean you're first i'm

[02:02] gonna talk to you that would have

[02:03] happened a hundred years ago you're

[02:05] right a hundred years ago you might not

[02:08] have been allowed to come into this room

[02:11] which would have been evil no instead we

[02:14] are here we're creating a movement to

[02:16] say we never want to go back to the

[02:17] segregation that once existed in this

[02:20] country that is now being pushed by

[02:22] people in corporate america in academia

[02:25] and other places we want to strive for a

[02:27] country that cares about character and

[02:29] the soul and the spirit of the

[02:30] individual not on tribes not on the

[02:33] melanin content people's skin

[02:35] and

[02:36] i will say this as compassionately as i

[02:38] can

[02:39] is that you are not being hunted as a

[02:41] black person in america there's not a

[02:43] single statistic that affirms that

[02:45] there's not a single data point instead

[02:47] the opposite is true we are the least

[02:49] racist most accepting multi-racial

[02:52] country in the history of the planet and

[02:54] i pray one day you'll be thankful to

[02:56] live in that country thank you for being

[02:58] here tonight

[02:59] thank you

[03:01] um everybody cj cj come here

[03:04] really quick i have a question come here

[03:07] go right there

[03:12] so cj just really quick you're a black

[03:14] person are you hunted at the university

[03:16] you know i don't i don't feel hunted at

[03:17] this university but i guess the

[03:18] difference between me and some people

[03:20] here is that i don't choose to be a

[03:21] victim charlie which i think

[03:24] which i think

[03:25] is the biggest problem we have here

[03:27] today are people who wake up every

[03:29] single day looking for a reason to be

[03:31] oppressed looking for a reason to cry

[03:33] and make an excuse about why they're not

[03:35] in a position to go when i don't see the

[03:37] color of my skin as a disability i see

[03:40] it as simply an accessory that i

[03:41] couldn't control i've been black all my

[03:43] life i've been black today and i'm

[03:45] thriving here i think that's that's a

[03:47] roll tide right there right and so cj

[03:49] let me ask you

[03:51] crt

[03:53] racist it's not just racist it's the

[03:55] exact iteration of white supremacy just

[03:57] in reverse i think it's important that

[03:59] we start teaching young people not to

[04:01] hate other people because of their skin

[04:03] we can teach black people to be proud of

[04:05] who they are without telling white

[04:07] people they should be ashamed of who

[04:08] they are you know amen

[04:12] so closing thoughts cj is this trying to

[04:16] divide the country it's not only trying

[04:18] to divide the country it's trying to

[04:19] break apart the foundation upon which it

[04:21] was built you know people forget the

[04:23] words of mlk rosa parks all those people

[04:25] who fought so hard for us to be united

[04:27] country where we didn't see the color of

[04:29] one's skin but the j but their character

[04:31] this is about taking us away from the

[04:33] vision and the dream of martin luther

[04:35] king and just taking us to the dream of

[04:36] kamala harris and i don't want to live

[04:38] that dream amen sorry cj you're a great

[04:40] american give it up for cj everybody so

[04:42] good
