WOTM: 246
In four days, America turns 246 years old. That's how long Black people were enslaved in America. I have a thought experiment for you... Well, not necessarily you. But people who need some perspective.
Once again, I have no words to thank you all for giving me this wonderful "job." I really love making these videos. Incidentally, I'm trying to get some money together to make consistently more involved videos — production-wise. I also have some ideas for bringing back some stuff I think you'll like. But for now, I'm am truly going to slip into a coma and try to finally get over this illness. Thank you all so much! I hope you know that I would help any one of you hide the body... or bodies. You're all my very best friends! Stay safe, gang! And I'll see you next month! B

Off topic: I found someone else mocking your ol' buddy Dennis Prager. FYI: https://sensuouscurmudgeon.wordpress.com/2022/07/20/discoveroids-and-the-james-webb-space-telescope/
Have you seen my videos about Brian Keating — responses to his PragerU videos? He's a dishonest sack of shiitake mushrooms!
Good one Brian!
Very thought provoking and emotional presentation. Thank you.
Glad you liked it.
Your thought experiment is just a clever way to get people to put themselves in somebody else's shoes. The problem boils down to a complete lack of empathy. Empathy was the one thing I did have, even while growing up as a kid adopted at birth into the cult of Mormonism.
🙏🏽😢💯
A bullseye, Brian! 🎯 You've clearly proven how badly we need Critical Race Theory in our schools, and I hope teachers who defy mandates against it will play this episode for their students. As you went through the chronology, I reflected on how my paternal great-great-grandfather was born in 1802, and 51 years later left his native Denmark, gullibly believing that the one-and-only true church of Gawd was located in the newly stolen western territories of the United States. Little did he know how badly he'd been duped, and how his ignorant, trusting naïveté would end up wreaking havoc on my own life, five generations later. And yet… I am damn lucky. Imagine if he'd been born in Senegal and then dragged here by force instead…! Gawd, ours is a nasty species.
YouTube channel Knowing Better has a video on post Civil War neoslavery. Eye opening. Thank you again for the videos this month, Brian.
Knowing Better is a terrific channel!!!
Gosh, I wonder how this affects the social contract? :-(
Bri-Bri... 246 years? Wow... You were in high school back then. lol 😉
