With the next episode dedicated to The Problem With White People, Stewart and radical leftist guests (all of whom were white) engaged in a type of self-flagellation to score virtue points by suggesting all white people were at some level racist, even on the level of the KKK. Before bringing on said panel, Stewart showed off a video by Saturday Night Live comedian Leslie Jones where she proclaimed Racism is a spectrum and asked viewers: what degree of racist are you? According to this spectrum, racism ranged from skinheads and the KKK to Lynyrd Skynyrd fans and [t]he ladies who think Megyn McCain got bullied on The View. That bitch didnt get bullied, she aint get bullied, Jones sneered. She also suggested that even if you didnt fall into one of her examples that meant you belonged in the unconscious bias category, or as she described it, a catch-all for the rest of yall. At the top of the panel discussion, La Salle University Professor Chip Gallagher warned that a significant amount of white people DONT judge people by the color of their skin. But they dont in any way attach any meaning to the color in affecting life chances. And what that fundamentally means is that race doesnt matter in getting ahead, he said. According to him, the danger was that [i]t makes white privilege invisible and it allows white people to think that they actually earned something in their lives. [I]t also makes whites feel that whatever they did, whatever success theyve had had nothing to do with 50, 100, 200 years ago, he said in all seriousness. This nonsense was followed up by Lisa Bond of Race2Dinner, an organization where whites discuss how racist whites are, who put on a true display of self-flagellation and virtue signaling as she touted how she knew she was racist and lamented white supremacy has done such a good job of teaching us as white people that racism is bad: And when we talk about racism, were talking about your character flaw. If we say your racist, thats a character flaw. Im bad. And I know Im not bad. I think Im a good person, I think Im a nice person. And I know that I am racist. And I know that Im racist because I every single day uphold the systems and the structures of racism. And if we dont start having a conversation about that and about the ways we are complicit every day daily, if we dont talk about it, then we are never going to see movement, ever. The only sense in the discussion came from commentator Andrew Sullivan. I think its possibly the most absurd hyperbole Ive ever heard, he scoffed. With Bond throwing a physical hissy fit as he described his experience as an immigrant, Sullivan praised America: I come from Im an immigrant so I have a slightly different view of this. I can tell you, America in 2022 is the most multiracial, multicultural, tolerant, diverse melting pot that has ever existed on planet Earth, and there is no other place on Earth even like it. Thats why 86 percent of our immigrants are non-white. Do you think they want to come to a white supremacist country? Since this wasnt the tone he wanted, Steward put words in Sullivans mouth and the whole discussion started to spiral. This continued for a few minutes and included Stewart suggesting Sullivan was a hardcore racist. This is what happens when white people dont talk about it. You have racist dog whistle tropes like this that actually perpetuate and perpetuate and perpetuate, Bond shouted over Sullivan at one point. Thats one of the reasons that we dont even engage with white men at Race2Dinner, she touted of her organization.

I stopped giving a shit about race a decade ago. Now I could give a fuck less what people say about me.
You're just repressing your inner racism and white suprenecy. Don't you know: we have to have an ongoing "conversation" and whites all need to apologize for what...being "white" I guess. It's all so fucked up...the race pimps on that show must really, really hate themselves and they want the rest of white society to hate being white as well and to beg forgiveness for our sins from the self-appointed arbiters of social justice. Sullivan had the only rational view..."86 percent of our immigrants are non-white. Do you think they want to come to a white supremacist country?" and they couldn't even acknowledge that simple fact. Instead the woman even doubled down on her idiocy, rejecting Sullivan's point and calling his facts and opinion "racist dog whistle tropes" when the fact remains that America IS the LEAST racist country in the world. Nope, she's not buying that and says Sullivan's views "actually perpetuate and perpetuate and perpetuate... You can't reason with the clinically insane, so yeah...fuck 'em.
I have reached the point to where I am starting to hate more and more white people because they lack the spine and intellect to actually critically think about their situation. White people are what percentage of the global population? I can tell you definitively that the census lies.
