Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

Like, when are we going to look at it and say, hey, this little experiment, you know what I mean, with government, the way that we're going isn't necessarily working.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

Yeah, and that's part of the reason why I guess I don't agree with liberals so much and why I... Me, personally, I think that liberals are actually the true racists, and I think that conservatives are not racists.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

I think there's a lot of truth in that.

Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

And the reason why I say that is because...

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

The liberal tells the black community, you are oppressed, you are weak, and you cannot have access to the life you desire and deserve until the government and white people change what they're doing.

Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

So they're literally telling them, you're still in change.

And in order for you to live the life you want to live, you need to get out there and spend all of your time and energy on throwing these chains off.

And look, I get it, there are racist people in rural places, but the vast majority of small town fucking white people are not fucking racist, and the only thing they care about, at least like the cowboys that I was raised with in West Texas, is literally just your work ethic.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

And when you are a rancher, when you're a cowboy, you don't have the luxury to be fucking racist.

Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

The only thing that you can focus on is how hard does this man work, and is he an honest individual?

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

And that's literally what I was taught from day one, you know what I mean, on how to judge an individual.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

Well, that's why Malcolm X said the worst community to the black, or the worst group to the, or the biggest enemy to the black community was the white liberal.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

Yeah, and I... Because conservatives are saying, look,

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

it's up to you you're powerful pull yourself up by the bootstraps and so to me it's like you look at like there's a lot of you know black influencers who sit there and say like get over it who the cares i'm a millionaire i grew up in the ghetto and so once again to me it goes down to you know preaching a message of power where it's like look can i admit that there's institutional i don't you know i don't even want to say it's necessarily institutional racism

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

Because if you look at the statistics of upward mobility from small rural towns in fucking Appalachia, it's worse than the fucking ghetto.

And it's just like, I can tell you right now from experience with the criminal justice system, when the criminal justice system gets you, it doesn't give a fuck about your skin color.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

It literally does not care about your skin color.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

So maybe are they policing more in-

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

in you know communities of color okay fine you know maybe they're sweeping you know more nets you know out there so they're going to be pulling in more perpetrators but once then once they get you like it does not fucking care is what it comes down to so even though there might be some institutional racism there but the point is like there probably is and i think there is

And the other thing, too, is what's crazy is like, let's just say we have someone who was born in South Central.
