MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): I guess there's something interesting about that point. I mean, there he's trying to say, hey, don't ever criticize us for any violent crime. This violent crime is fine. That's just human nature or something. You know? I don't know what the context of that was, that was just a little clip. But there he says, look, I'm very pro-Black. And if you're a white person, you are pro-white, and some of you don't wanna admit that, but you are. And I guess that's true. To be pro-white is not necessarily to be anti-Black, but, yeah, you -- it's very disordered, actually, to be opposed to your people. You know, it's very disordered.

So if I'm a man and I'm the head of the Knowles family and I were opposed to the Knowles family, if I were anti-Knowles, that would be weird and disordered. Some people are. I guess most of liberalism today is just, you know, hating your dad or something, but that would be weird. You should support your family, and then the next level out would be your extended family. Then the next level out would be your community. Then the next level out might be, I don't know, your tribe or something. You know? Then the next level out might be the coalition of tribes, and then the next level out would be, I don't know, state or a nation. So that's -- that's normal.

And there are priorities of charity. You know? Charity does begin at home in that you owe more to your children and to your wife than you do to someone on the other side of the world, and you owe more to your immediate community than you do to a more extended or foreign community. And so, yeah, it's not -- that part, I guess, is not wrong. It would become wrong if you said, you know, by being pro-white, I'm anti-Black or anti-Asian or anti- -- hate other people or something. That would be wrong. But to support your own kind of people, I don't know, that seems fine. That seems good and normal.
