The Seductive Process of Teaching Anti-Racism | Paul Rossi & Jordan B Peterson

The full video:

Paul Rossi began his career at Grace Church High School with new experiences in community bonding, hyper-friendly coworkers, and anti-racism mandates. Grace Church High School, located directly in Manhattan, is part of a larger trend of teaching "anti-racism" and other absurd dictates.

Paul Rossi took a stand to say that he will not take part in the racist ideologies that are being forced into the minds of the students at Grace Church and in western society as a whole.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."

It's a hard lesson to really learn, but it's perhaps the most important. For sure it's one of the most empowering.

Peterson's willingness make a strong argument for the opposing side is one of the things that sets him apart from pretty much every other figure you might compare him to.

I am a Mexican-American male in my 30’s living in West Los Ángeles. I don't fall into the whole white-bashing thing. But it's crazy how popular it has become everywhere! Like overnight! There is so much tension between cultures here. And most people on the west side are not local to LA anyway. Most people visiting here never have a real idea of true Angelenos. I don’t white bash but there is for sure racism here. Especially outside the city limits. When driving in those areas you are not welcome and please don’t play anything that doesn’t sound like country. Sad I wish we all would get along!!! I pray that one day we could look past our history and move forward with love and understanding.

Nobody asks a more perfect follow-up question than JBP.

Never knew there will come an age when we will teach people to be victims.

Being white was often a very negative experience for me. Aboriginal kids used to fight me, called me racial slurs constantly. Just my white privilege I guess.

If u pay attention these r things abusive narcissistic people do while telling u ur crazy and ur doing it...

[yucansuckadee]

I love Mr. Rossi's introspective and reflection on his experience. Thank you for sharing.

I think the problem is assuming people are inherently good and that if you ask them how they feel and take it seriously they won't eventually begin to manipulate and take advantage of that.

Great discussion. I’m a firm believer in proper education; what I mean by “proper” education, is an education that doesn’t lie to children like the current North American system does. A lot of racism is bred from lack of education.

I listened to the podcast today as I was wrapping up my teaching day and then on the commute home. I have a lot to say, but it will suffice that I believe this to be one of your most poignant and significant interviews of them all.

[jeffreylewis]

This is a distressing and familiar conversation. I admire your courage and honesty. I am baffled that Grace Church School (an "Episcopal" school) has obviously cast off any vestiges of its original Christian identity. To me, that is the elephant in the room that was not mentioned in this conversation.

[greggwilson]

Thank You Both! A very reasonable conversation!

I tell everyone to to be comfortable in their own skin.

It appears that these classes open the door with niceties and end with violence.

[mizuslayer]

wowwww lmao almost like they tried to play, "tell me you like being white without saying you're white/like being white"

[jenniferpotter]

Please forgive my naivete but, I have always wondered, "If we all have a heartbeat, what's the difference? "

My girlfriend works from home for the Canadian government. She has had two very long sessions of "anti-racism" training. I love her and want to protect her, and it makes me mad that she has to succumb to this. She doesn't really have a choice. During the first session she kept her camera off but for the second session they were told that they had to have their cameras on "for their own safety". Which of course is B.S. She feels like she can't speak out without jeopardizing her job and making things bad for herself. Other people say they "enjoy" it and "look forward" to it but that's b.s. too they're just afraid. What can I do?
