Dr. Richey Provides Proper Education for Racism Deniers

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the bullpen. All right. He's back in the bullpen today. We have one villasmil commentator. Young voices. He's made appearances many places Fox News, Telemundo, MSNBC, the list goes on and on. We do not hold those things against him here. Good to have you back, Juan. How are you? I'm doing great. How are. You? I'm doing quite well. I got to ask you, man. We're going to chop it up about this erasing of racism and that in the way that it sounds. The Republicans are

trying to erase racism by acting as if it doesn't exist never existed. Gaslighting people. It's not the kind of erasing of racism that we actually know could hopefully erase some of the racist, elements inside of this country. Why do you think there's this push and everybody seems to be on the same page to erase the reality that racism even existed in America? I don't want to presume what you believe about that particular topic. So if you would give us your, proclamation, I would then opine. I d

on't really know exactly what you're talking about. I if you have a specific example and. Yeah. And I could respond because I sure. I do think that a lot of the times like we hyper fixate on race to a degree that's quite detrimental. Right. And you see this, this whole race hustling world, taking over politics. And when you look at it, I was. You know, watching the show before this and we're talking about the rise of neo-Nazism, and you're talking about some of the cases with cops killing innoce

nt black people, and they also matter. But at the end of it all, like, those are not the priorities of most Americans. - Well, well. - Speak for yourself. It's a priority of a particular group, and you don't have to subscribe to that group. So how dare you say that's not a priorities of most Americans? Because statistics betray you, sir, but I will. What statistics are you talking about? I will give you statistics in just a moment so that you can stop gaslighting. Dear brother, you asked me a qu

estion. I'll provide an answer for you and a proper education along with it. So the question you posed is what am I talking about when I'm saying that there is this erasing of racism in America by those who are conservative, by acting like it never happened. Nikki Haley said that this country has never been a racist nation. It was, in fact, Nikki Haley who said that the Civil War, when she denied that it was fought over racism or slavery. She said I should have said the truth. In a later intervi

ew, it was, governor DeSantis, DeSantis, who said, well, this is destroying our children. It's called critical race theory. Not even taught in K through 12 education. So when you talk about the reality of racism or slavery, look at the policies as well as the proclamations that have been made by major presidential candidates. And you can't dismiss the reality. No, no of slavery. Hold on, brother, I ain't finished. You can't dismiss the reality of a DeSantis appointing a school board in Florida w

ho says, well, you know, skills trades were learned by the enslaved, highlighting something positive. Doctor Richie, let me tell you why. No, man, I'm not finished. - I just have to disagree. - With you there. You can disagree, brother. But when I'm finished, when somebody says that about slavery, understand what slavery is. Slavery is human sex trafficking. Slavery is. Slavery is murder. What? Have you ever heard someone contextualize a human being, being trafficked, or a child being, or anothe

r human being being murdered as they learned something positive in the process? Never, except when it applied to the enslaved Africans in this country. Go ahead. Yeah, of course I think slavery is bad. And I think Nikki Haley's comments were not great. I'm not a big Nikki Haley fan in regards to CRT. I think most Americans don't like CRT and it's not what it is. Yeah. Critical race theory. What is it? You tell me what it is like. Critical race theory. But you. If you don't like it, you got to kn

ow what it is. Brother. You said you know. Of course. What is it? Of course I know what it is. So critical race theory is that they use a critical lens in which you hyper fixate on race, and you see how it affects different parts of society, and you use it to make decisions on how law yields disproportionate effects and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But on education. That's not that's not what critical race theory is. Critical race theory is a theoretical framework utilized in doctoral studies i

n order to analyze particular cause effects and outcomes. It is not something that is traditionally taught in any type of collegiate atmosphere until you get. It's not taught in studies. Sir, allow me to finish. You you use a theoretical framework. Critical race theory. Most people can't even define it, much less utilize it appropriately. And in the Florida laws where we said or they said, okay, critical anti critical race theory is the bill, guess what was not in the law? Critical race theory.

They never banned critical race theory. They used that as a front. And critical race theory wasn't even confined in the context of the document, because what they were banning was one thing teachers ability to teach actual history. - That's not true, I was true. - You can look it up. My brother's going to a Florida school right now. That's your brother that you're making up at the end? No. Your brother. Wait a minute. Your brother learned critical race theory. He didn't learn critical race theor

y. Like, I understand some conservatives use that terms as well. That's what I said to you. You just proved my point. What? What I mean is that critical race theory is used by education professionals to then push a certain agenda and the way things are taught, what agenda. - And. - What wasted agenda? No, no. Tell me what agenda. That agenda is basically if you go to a very liberal university or a very liberal school is very guilt centric, and you make students talk about race and in ways that a

re meant to make them feel bad, it's it does really not. It doesn't advance the interest of most Americans. But but I'm asking what is social cohesion in this country? Just hyper fixating on race makes no sense. Do you have any answers at all? What class? What subject? What are you talking about? Some schools have like specific like race dedicated classes. Like what? What's the name of the class? I don't remember. I like it's a particular class in my university. - I didn't have that in Florida b

ack then. - What university did you go to? - American university. - Public or private? It's private. That was private. - Do you pay for the classes? - Yeah, which. Means you get to choose what classes you take. Correct? No, I didn't choose that one. That one was forced on me. And it was forced on you. What class was it? - What was the name of it? - It's about identity and structures. It's basically. Yes, critical race theory. - Like, very. - But what's the name of the class? Dear brother? It's c

alled 0X2 race, identity. And something else I don't really. And what was your major? My major was international relations. But if you're an engineer. International in international relations, you taking a class about diversity, inclusion or equitable principles is somehow antithetical to you understanding international relations? No. I have a friend who's a computer science major, and he had to take it too. But anyhow. He had to take a class. What? I will say a class. Come on, Doctor. Rishi, wh

at I will say, and I think this is important, is that. Every year over 1000 people are killed by cops. And, you know, many of them are innocent people for sure. And that should be something we have to fix. But now in America, the priorities of the American people are crime. If you live in a big city, more people are killed in New York and D.C. Together than the entire country by cops. More people are afraid of a crazy homeless guy with a chainsaw than neo-Nazis or a cop. So this is just about pr

iorities. And I think that your priorities, at least on your show, are not on the right place. And that's a problem. And this is what this is in part what I think our country does not need. We don't need more division. We need some social cohesion. That's some of Tim Scott, you know, very lovey dovey. But he's doing some of that and that's actually good. Yeah. So, in your opinion, my priorities are adverse to America, correct? Your hyperfixation. Yes, because it seems like you talk much more abo

ut neo-Nazis than about immigration or homelessness, at least from what I can tell this specific day. It's unfortunate. But see, this is your, this is your ignorance talking. And so because I understand you're coming from a place of ignorance, I'm going to be gracious. We do talk about immigration on this program. As a matter of fact, I have a doctorate of science in immigration law from Azteca University. I'm sure you're familiar with the university. I hold a doctorate from there in immigration

law. So, yes, I do talk about immigration. Number two, we talk about homelessness and the cause and effect relationship or the ecosystem that's involved. It's a policy dynamic, not a personal dynamic. We also talk about neo-Nazism because there are people who are oppressed in this nation. And if you don't have an intentional advocacy apparatus for those who are oppressed and have the least amount of power inside of a political or economic structure, they will not be heard. They have to have adv

ocates. And unfortunately, most of our elected officials are either feckless cowards or they are purchased by the highest bidder. And so individuals like myself and a few others, we try to be intentional about making sure that they have a prioritization with us, rather than those who have money. Does that make sense to you? I mean, I guess like it. It's your show. And I just think that if I were in your shoes, I would talk a little bit more about those issues than about race and some official in

some county saying the N word. I think most Americans, even most. What does it mean? What does it mean talk for most black Americans. But yeah, but you're. Trying to you're talking to a black America right now, so you don't have. Okay, I'm gonna ask you I'm gonna ask you if you were watching the news. Well, it's shown shows up. Of course you're gonna like it, but we rather have someone talking about how to reduce poverty or about some person saying the n word and some office somewhere. Let me s

how you how it's connected. Most of the time I've noticed, like we hyperfixate on this person. Send the n word. This person said this, this person said that. - A little too much. - Well, let me show you how it's connected. Policy does not get to escape your personal proclamation. If there's an elected official that says the n word. We actually just discussed the cop, a cop who sent messages saying, I hate black people. He didn't say black people. He used the n word. He he was extremely racist in

the way he contextualized not only black folk, but the attorneys of black people. Told one attorney in word, I shoot you too. And that got him fired. Now why is that important? Because right now the Da says that 54 cases are now compromised because those cases relied on the testimony of a known racist cop among them, who could have been biased in their expression of the case during presentation. That's number one. Number two, when you have an elected official who is in charge of policy and thei

r bias is before them, but they are acting as if they are actually fair people, fair arbitrators of justice, but they are racist against a particular demographic. If they were racist against your culture, you would not want them judging policy for you and your family. You would want them to be exposed so they would not have position of power over you. Correct? Does that make sense to you, brother? I mean, of course it makes sense. Like. Thank you, I appreciate it. All right. It seems like we're

fighting against at least you against the ghost, because most Republicans, most Republicans aren't like, oh, yeah, it's super cool when a cop kills an innocent black person or we love racism. Like that's what you're saying. That's not happening in this country. I got. So I think I understand what you're saying. You're saying that because the vast majority of cops are not saying the n word in text messages, or the vast majority of elected officials are not being caught being racist outside of the

ir job. You're saying that I should not highlight the injustices they bring? No, no. - What are you saying? - You can do whatever you want. - I just think that this is a show that. - Well, I definitely watched that. A lot of people watch, and that's great. Yeah, but. How is how do these specific issues affect most of your watchers? I'm not entirely sure. But not only this show, but when I look at a lot of other shows, it seems like they'll rather talk about these issues than about all the other

things that affect us. Case in point, the southern border, for example, like how many times have you talked about that today or this week or last week? Sorry. - You don't watch my show, do you? - I do, I watch it occasionally. So? So if you. Watch my program, dear brother, you will know that I talked about the southern border last week and the week before that. By the way, the standard fare. And compare it with compare with, with racism. - Like, it's. - So. So you need me. Let me just get this r

ight. You would like me to speak, more about other things to suit you rather than. Well, tell me what you want me to do, brother. What are you asking me to do for you? Let me see if I could accommodate what you need. However you want to do your show, I. Promise you, I damn sure will. Okay, okay. I'll tell you exactly what to do if I were in your shoes. Yeah, I will, of course, talk about, you know, all these instances when appropriate. Sometimes some of them I don't think are that newsworthy. So

you basically do what I'm doing. Not. Not entirely, I think, but. - But kind of. - Yeah, kinda. - All right, I appreciate you. - Thank you. I appreciate you coming on the show. Thank you, dear brother. It's been fun. Thank you very much. Yeah, absolutely.
