0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:20.959
<v Speaker 1>a video recording from doctor William Derrity, who's speaking to

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:25.319
<v Speaker 1>a crowd member at the University of Massachusetts. Q. I

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>think you got this one.

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, thanks for coming today. Are there any trends

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 2>with within the black community, such as higher crime rates

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 2>or high illegitimacy illegitimacy race that could explain their position

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 2>vast of East Whites and Kansas are explained by some

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 2>dominant social group. No, no to the first one or

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>no to both.

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's it's there's a propagandi stick mechanism that's

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 3>afloat about, you know, black illegitimacy and black criminality. I

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>guess it depends on what kind of crime you have

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 3>in mind. If we think about which community in the

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 3>United States has the highest degree of history of violence,

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 3>that's unquestionably White Americans, unquestionably. I mean, I'm not sure

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 3>if you're aware of the hundred massacres that were conducted

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 3>between the end of the Civil War and World War

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Two that were directed against black communities throughout the United

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 3>States in which thousands of blacks were killed and the

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>white terrorist appropriated black owned property. So there's no segment

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 3>of the population that has a greater history of violence

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.199
<v Speaker 3>than white Americans. So when you talk about these kinds

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 3>of matters, to me, you're actually mouthing a set of

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 3>propagandistic claims that are made on the right in the

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 3>United States, and they do not have a foundation in fact.

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow, all right, why don't you start us off.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 4>You once upon a time, our fellow Americans cared about

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 4>the last thing that he said. They do not have

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 4>a foundation in fact. And this wasn't a very long

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 4>time ago where conversations had to start on there being

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 4>a shared version of what facts are, but information like

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 4>what the person in the audience asked with regards to

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:34.399
<v Speaker 4>black illegitimacy and higher crime rates amongst black people, and

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:40.399
<v Speaker 4>several other other you know, propagandistic tropes and lies, let's

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 4>just call it flat on his face. Lies can be

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 4>perpetuated now with little to no pushback, because well, our

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 4>guy said it, so it must be true, even though

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 4>we're looking at facts that says it's not. We're going

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 4>to go with our guy.

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to add to that, because you're absolutely right,

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 1>these things are not based in a shared reality whatsoever.

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>But allow me to make a connection between the things

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that folks are alleging is true, because some of what

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>we say is true, and it does shape the outcomes

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and perceptions, not to the degree that the right would

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 1>have folks believe like all black people are criminals, blah blah,

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>all that sort of stuff, because that's obviously false.

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 4>But let me connect this for you.

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>So he mentioned the one hundred massacres over the years

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>between the Civil War and World War Two, and then

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the appropriated black owned property. Let's add to that redlining.

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Now you're talking about black wealth or the lack thereof,

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and then you're talking about black illegitimacy, which that only

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>started taking place so that black people could get more

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>assistance from the state. So without the land and the wealth,

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and then obviously poverty is breeding ground for criminality.
