Scholarship Student Proves He Was the Wrong Choice

[00:00] I just wanted to real quick ask you uh

[00:02] can you clarify your definition of

[00:04] critical race Theory uh yeah Derek Bells

[00:07] so what he wrote In 1991 intro to

[00:08] critical race Theory what's in that book

[00:10] the whole book is your definition um how

[00:13] about this the one I used call

[00:15] everything racist till you control it oh

[00:17] so wait but then that

[00:19] literally means that critical race

[00:21] Theory can mean basically anything you

[00:23] want it to

[00:24] right only if you're calling it racist

[00:26] till you control it I mean I'm defining

[00:28] critical race theory in the mod American

[00:30] context is that we can go back to

[00:31] Herbert maruza one-dimensional man or

[00:33] jacqu dered or Michelle Fuko but the

[00:35] most agreed upon legal I'm sorry the

[00:37] most agreed upon academic theory is

[00:39] intro to critical race Theory 1991 by

[00:41] Derrick

[00:41] Bell yeah wait but are you familiar with

[00:45] that literature well yeah I've read the

[00:47] book but I don't remember anything about

[00:48] it it was for like a college class like

[00:50] let's be honest nobody remembers the

[00:51] books they read in college um sounds

[00:53] like a great value proposition to go to

[00:55] college no no no it is trust me

[01:00] but like uh well but you didn't go to

[01:02] college so I guess you wouldn't know um

[01:05] it's true I

[01:07] didn't so so let me ask you though does

[01:09] that mean that I'm not able to have this

[01:11] conversation with you cuz I actually

[01:12] remember the book and you didn't and you

[01:14] paid for

[01:25] it so first of all I didn't pay for it

[01:29] uh there's called scholarship oh so

[01:31] somebody else paid for you not to

[01:32] remember the book that you were supposed

[01:34] to read oh some wealthy donor or

[01:37] taxpayer paid for you to not remember

[01:40] the book I have a question um who are

[01:43] your wealthy donors many of them are in

[01:45] this room thank you guys for your

[01:46] wonderful support by the way

[01:49] interesting we have over 130,000

[01:52] Grassroots donors at Turning Point USA

[01:55] 130,000 I think we have some people in

[01:56] the back that chip in $5 $10 $15 God

[02:00] bless you God bless you God bless you

[02:01] God bless you God bless you we are a

[02:03] Grassroots funded operation but let me

[02:05] give you another example I'll give you

[02:07] five things that critical race Theory

[02:08] believes number one the notion that

[02:10] racism is ordinary and everywhere number

[02:13] two the idea of Interest convergence

[02:15] otherwise known as intersectionality

[02:17] number three the social construction of

[02:19] race meaning that there is a social

[02:21] construction around race in our society

[02:23] the four idea of Storytelling and

[02:25] counter story storytelling number five

[02:27] is that no matter how hard you work no

[02:28] matter how hard you do you cannot remove

[02:30] racism from your Society those are five

[02:32] pillars of critical race Theory based on

[02:34] Derek Bell's intro to critical race

[02:36] Theory does that does that ring a bell

[02:39] um yes but like okay so let me stick

[02:43] with this

[02:44] um what do you

[02:46] think oh

[02:49] we'll edit that out my oh oh my bad

[02:52] wait am I not allowed to it's not

[02:54] encouraged oh okay sorry

[02:58] um what was the third point my mind is

[03:01] dying the social construction of race

[03:03] the social construction of race do you

[03:05] not think that race is uh at least

[03:06] partially socially constructed depends

[03:09] how you define it so like what defines

[03:12] where One race ends and where One race

[03:14] begins depends who you're asking I think

[03:17] race is completely and totally

[03:18] irrelevant do you think race is relevant

[03:21] no okay then why are we talking about

[03:23] race all the time and why are we talking

[03:24] about critical race Theory well you

[03:25] brought it up at first when you were

[03:27] doing your speech right remember I said

[03:28] it was a lie from the P of hell that we

[03:30] should repudiate and stop talking about

[03:31] all the

[03:35] time you're you're on scholarship sorry

[03:38] what nothing sorry go

[03:41] ahead

[03:44] um so to answer your

[03:49] question I don't think that race means

[03:51] anything and I guess you don't either

[03:53] right yeah right so

[03:56] then why do you keep bringing up race

[04:00] whenever you're on are speaking on a

[04:02] stage I am not speaking on a stage

[04:04] bringing up critical race Theory you are

[04:06] no I'm bringing up how critical race

[04:07] Theory destroys society and how we

[04:09] shouldn't talk about race all the

[04:11] time okay but you're bringing up race no

[04:15] no critical race Theory not race okay so

[04:19] what's the second word in that yeah it's

[04:21] race but it's a theory of how to view

[04:22] race of which is a mind virus pathogen

[04:24] destroying America of which I said again

[04:27] just to reemphasize for those in the

[04:28] back we could replay the tape we throw

[04:30] the red flag to we watch it over again I

[04:34] said that what race means nothing I care

[04:37] about your actions your character and

[04:38] most importantly your soul thank you for

[04:41] being here tonight thank you
