FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

well everyone home depot has officially

0:02

lost the plot to take a look at this

0:04

unpacking privilege it's all about white

0:07

privilege and how if you feel confident

0:09

that the police exist to protect you you

0:11

have white privilege if you had the

0:13

expectation of going to college you have

0:14

class privilege if you have the

0:16

expectation to have days off you have

0:17

christian privilege if you're straight

0:19

you have heterosexual privilege and if

0:20

you don't have to worry about how to get

0:22

into a store you have able-bodied

0:24

privilege i haven't even heard of this

0:25

one but apparently if you do not have

0:27

fear or anxiety of going into a bathroom

0:29

you have cisgender privilege folks you

0:32

are privileged and therefore you should

0:34

feel

0:35

guilty look this was trending on twitter

0:38

and i just had to respond in my opinion

0:41

what this document does is it makes

0:43

people feel guilty white people straight

0:45

people christians it brings folks

0:48

down

0:49

and it may be true that privileges exist

0:52

and let's just say if white people

0:54

christians or whatever have a privilege

0:56

what is the point of bringing them down

1:00

via guilt when in reality rather than

1:02

teaching wokeness we should be teaching

1:04

communication bluntness skills and value

1:07

to bring everybody up to the same level

1:09

and then beyond let me give you an

1:11

example i'm german some people instantly

1:13

think that's it you are a nazi

1:16

i'm not a nazi

1:18

and if they continue to believe that

1:19

that's their problem

1:21

but i don't need people walking around

1:22

going

1:23

damn i'm not german therefore i have

1:27

non-nazi privilege

1:29

what the hell

1:31

come on first of all that does mean no

1:33

good it also does them no good because a

1:36

i'm not a nazi bee i don't really care

1:38

if you think you have a privilege over

1:39

me because you're not german that does

1:41

me no good and it does you no good you

1:43

know what does me and you good though

1:47

those around me being blunt and

1:48

communicating properly hey i know you're

1:50

german but i don't care you're a hard

1:52

worker and i enjoy working with you in

1:53

fact i have an idea for how we can make

1:55

this store a better place what if we use

1:57

this strategy to sell paint i have an

2:00

idea how we can build wealth together by

2:02

renovating this fixer-upper on this

2:03

street outside detroit by the way

2:05

detroit's doing very well growing out

2:07

very well outside the center of detroit

2:08

i was just there

2:09

i have an idea on how we can invest

2:11

together i have an idea for how we can

2:13

build a better society together

2:16

those are good things that brings

2:18

everyone up this letter from home depot

2:21

just and we'll look at it again in a

2:22

moment it just assigns guilt here check

2:25

your guilt box the objective is to to

2:27

lower people to bring people down not to

2:30

elevate them that's ridiculous that's

2:31

objectiveless that's dumb

2:33

that's silly and look i get it it's not

2:36

home depot's fault that our schools

2:37

don't teach finance that they don't

2:39

teach credit

2:40

and the importance of having a good

2:41

credit score that they don't teach

2:42

wealth it's not home depot's fault that

2:44

black people are poorer than white

2:45

people on average in part because they

2:47

were discriminated against because of

2:49

redlining and blockbusting real estate

2:50

that's not home depot's fault

2:53

it's halfed up it happened

2:55

but you know how we fixed the issue

2:57

not by white people walking around going

3:00

well i'm privileged because i didn't

3:01

have redlining and blockbusting okay

3:04

that may be true but what good does that

3:06

do for black folks who were left behind

3:10

it does us nothing

3:12

okay yeah i'm white

3:14

but does that all of a sudden make a

3:16

black person richer no a white person

3:19

saying i'm white does not make a black

3:21

person richer

3:23

but you know what makes

3:24

blacks asians russians ukrainians

3:26

germans or whatever richer

3:28

understanding long-term investments like

3:30

real estate and stocks proper

3:31

communication about progress not guilt

3:33

about ideas and perpetuating society in

3:35

a positive direction not bringing

3:37

society back and down home depot this is

3:39

a disgusting letter i go to home depot

3:42

for tools for outlets for paint honestly

3:44

i don't even want to talk to anyone

3:47

but if you want to give your employees a

3:49

benefit how about this how about instead

3:51

of checking a privileged box you have

3:54

them check a box on how can we help you

3:57

build wealth how can we help you get

3:59

into your first home how can we help you

4:00

make your first investment into stocks

4:02

how can we make sure you are maxing out

4:04

your 401k how can we make sure you are

4:07

making money and building wealth and we

4:09

are progressing in society together

4:12

what good does hey let's take people and

4:15

make them feel bad

4:17

what good does that do for the person

4:20

who's supposed like or are

4:22

or all of a sudden

4:24

people in a wheelchair supposed to feel

4:26

better

4:26

that other people now feel bad that

4:29

they're not in a wheelchair

4:31

and this is not saying that we should

4:33

not have ada compliance

4:36

i absolutely think we should

4:38

this is also not saying that i don't

4:39

think juneteenth should be a national

4:41

holiday which it is by the way

4:43

my employees get juneteenth off

4:46

my employees get all of these days off

4:47

they get martin luther king's birthday

4:48

off as well

4:50

but it doesn't mean

4:53

that all of a sudden we have to label

4:55

people to try to make them feel better

4:56

at home depot i don't know what your

4:57

problem is and you've also got a big

4:59

typo over here when you feel

5:01

unformattable talking about white

5:03

privilege here are some questions to

5:05

yourself to ask yourself why does this

5:07

unsettle me how does this lens change my

5:09

understanding of racial dynamics are you

5:12

freaking kidding me so how about then we

5:14

try to have better schools build

5:16

people's wealth

5:17

and protect our communities better by

5:19

elevating everybody by elevating

5:21

everybody's skill and wealth so people

5:23

don't have to steal bread to get ahead

5:26

in life because there's so much

5:27

inflation and the government failed

5:29

people in high school people graduate

5:31

high school and they can't even get a

5:32

job at mcdonald's anymore because our

5:34

high schools suck this is government's

5:37

problem but this garbage from home depot

5:41
