Michelangelo Was Racist??

(00:00.238)

Well, I guess Michelangelo was a racist, at least according to the expert on this, Robin DiAngelo. Yeah, you familiar with Robin DiAngelo?

I do she bro the whole George Floyd COVID summer George Floyd summer members she put out there was a best seller white fragility. Yeah. She’s an expert on white privilege. It’s white. She is an expert on white privilege. And I saw this story today.

And it took me back in time to the worst vacation I ever had in my entire life. Worst vacation ever in my entire life. COVID summer. COVID summer, you know, trying to figure out what was shut down, what was not shut down. I, you know, again, we’re breaking all the COVID rules at my house, barbecues around, damn, and the crap that was going on. But you really couldn’t go anywhere. And if I stay home,

I’m gonna work. And then my wife’s gonna get angry, but we need to get out of here, we gotta do something. So you know what, we decide to go to Newport, Rhode Island. And we’ll do a kind of a staycation type of thing. It’s about a four or five hour drive. Supposedly, it’s probably nice hotel, Gurney’s, they got a hotel out in Montauk as well. Oh yeah, it’s gotta be a fancy hotel. And most certainly the prices were through the roof. Get there.

get there and again, it’s Rhode Island. Rhode Island, big lib, big lib area, you know, the social distancing stuff, supposed to wear a mask while you’re walking in and around a hotel and wherever I look, people are reading this book. Everybody’s reading this white fragility book. And I’m like, oh boy, oh boy, it’s gonna be an interesting, and we weren’t even going for a long, we just kind of like, it was like four or five days we went up there and.

(02:14.254)

Again, it was so expensive. The rooms, eh, not taken care. It was, you know, the pool is the classic, classic story. And again, I can tell you how hard it was for me not to blow a gasket while I was there. Again, I probably was probably drinking probably more than I should have at the time, simply to calm myself down based upon what was going on. So you go to a nice hotel.

Okay, you expect, okay, you’re going to a pool. You know, people are gonna bring you drinks, stuff like that, have that, have a little bar. The people that were staying there at the time, rolling up the coolers! Coolers at the pool, this is a high -end hotel, not only that, they got little kids, babies, they’re changing diapers right next to me at the pool, I had kids!

We would take, we wouldn’t change a diaper at the freaking pool in front of anybody. Again, serenity now, I start going back to them. I might start having flashbacks just about how awful that vacation was. But anyway, yep, a lot of big libs there and everybody was reading white fragility. Well, I guess she’s trying to make a comeback. She’s got to come up with another book, right? For this lady, basically racism.

is not merely a set of negative attitudes about minorities. It is more akin to a spiritual illness that afflicts virtually all white people. She’s selling a cure. We all got, we got a disease and D ‘Angelo’s got a cure and you got to buy her book so you can be cured. Exercise your white privileged demons according to D ‘Angelo.

Yeah, and she gets paid, obviously paid to speak on colleges. Again, you got all these heads that are empty skulls out there which you can fill with your BS. But again, her book has been debunked by people from Ivy Leagues. It’s how ridiculous it is. Well, I guess she’s got a new book coming out that she’s looking to sell. I forget what it’s called. I don’t know. Nice Racism, it’s called. Yep.

(04:38.286)

Nice Racism is the sequel to White Fragility. It’s kind of like The Empire Strikes Back to Star Wars, I get. But anyway, she’s doing an interview. I couldn’t make this up. I mean, all the talkers, oh god, bow down to, she’s such a smart individual, brilliant, brilliant individual. In the podcast, she is describing Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. Now.

I’ve seen it several times and I’ll tell you something, never gets old. Never gets old going into the Sistine Chapel by any stretch of the imagination. And in that, again, classic picture, God.

gives life to Adam, sparks life into Adam. Again, she’s calling this the perfect convergence of white supremacy and patriarchy. But she doesn’t even realize it’s Adam.

She thinks it’s David.

Yeah, she sounded off on this thing and she thinks it’s David. So she obviously didn’t know the first thing about the painting at all. And some of the other things in regards to if you actually take a look at it and the red to the outside, Michelangelo was saying that it was part of the birthing process as well and how he brought women into it.

(06:20.718)

Also, if you take a look at it, it kind of looks like the shape of, you know, the outside look at the shape of the human brain. Again, the genius of that Michelangelo is something else. But according to a. It’s modern day snake oil salespeople. I wish let’s go back to the days where we actually had people selling snake oil to cure alls. It was better back then.

Hey, maybe the video was, oh yeah, it was Michael Jackson. It wasn’t Ebony and Ivory.

(06:58.878)

It was say, say, say, Michelangelo and Paul McCartney and the video. You remember that they were selling snake oil and they were using the money to fund some orphanage or something like that at the end? Yeah, simple times, better times. Watchdog on wallstreet .com.
