Social Justice Warrior 'Numskulls' Give Themselves Too Much Credit

June 01, 2016
 Jon Boldt

Writer

What's in a name? A lot if it's Social Justice Warrior, aka, SJW, hypocrite, numskull, paid "volunteer," thin-skinned moron and over-privileged whiner --- for starters.

Tuesday on The Glenn Beck Program, Doc and Skip from The Morning Blaze filled in for Glenn with a few choice words of their own on the hypocrisy of these so-called "warriors."

"You're a social justice warrior? Listen, numskulls, you might be giving yourself just a little bit too much credit. And by that, you're definitely giving yourself too much credit," Doc said.

Doc was shocked at their over-inflated sense of self-importance --- and ticked off at their ignorance.

"It's just amazing to me that these people have the audacity to bitch in America about all of the inequalities between races, religions, genders. They go off on all this stuff. Meanwhile, America may be the best place in the world as far as equality between races, genders, religions, whatever," Doc said.

While America is up in arms about who can use what bathroom based on gender identity, other parts of the world are throwing gay men from buildings and stoning women to death.

"There are headlines every day about the horrible things that happen around the world, not just to Christians, but to Muslims," Doc said. "ISIS is killing Muslims, right? You're not Muslim enough. What about the way women are treated in parts of the world? And you social justice warriors have the audacity to tell me I'm not doing enough? Like the notion of, well, we're so biased in America."

Based on the issue of race alone, America is way ahead of the curve. Doc noted the opening ceremonies for the 2012 Olympics, in which each country was represented by their dominant race --- Chinese for China, Africans for Nigeria --- while the U.S. was represented by a rainbow of color.

"It gets to the point of saying that we're not enough of a melting pot... I mean, are we not going to be happy in America until there is a perfectly equal distribution --- I mean, 12 percent white, 12 percent black, 12 percent Chinese? Where does it end?" Skip asked.

As a fully functioning contributor of society, real life settles in and there just isn't time to worry about all this nonsense.

"I have so much other stuff going on in my life. And by that, I mean my wife and mother-in-law nagging me to get stuff done. I don't have time for this." Doc said.

It's obvious who does have time to stir up trouble where it doesn't exist in great measure.

"I guess these social justice warriors fancy themselves as a warrior. It's almost to the point --- what are they, like superheroes or something?" Dock said.

No, just self-identified "warriors" with a skewed sense of reality and an overabundant amount of time on their hands.

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

DOC: Doc and Skip in for Glenn today. We're regularly heard on TheBlaze Radio Network. For more information on us, you can go to theblaze.com/Doc. That's TheBlaze.com/Doc.

We're talking about social justice warriors. And the failure of not only name, but of attitude. Is this the big progressive movement right now on college campuses. All across -- the little movements, whatever they are. Whether it's Black Lives Matter. Whatever they call themselves. Social justice warriors. SJWs.

And it's just amazing to me that these people have the audacity to bitch in America about all of the inequalities between races, religions, genders. They go off on all these stuff. Meanwhile, America may be the best place in the world as far as equality between races, genders, religions, whatever. I mean, we're at least in the top, would you agree?

SKIP: No, truly. We're having a big fight in America about what bathroom you can use based off what you identify with. When tonight, today, there's going to be a gay person thrown off a building in the Middle East. There's going to be a woman who is stoned to death for looking at somebody that she shouldn't have been looking at.

DOC: So, Skip, even if they believe -- these knuckleheads -- these social justice warriors believe that they have to do more -- America has to do more. Okay. Even if you believe that, and we do more, how much of a change is that? Very incremental change right now. Versus, hey, we're social justice warriors, and we got Iran to stop throwing people off the roofs if they're gay. That's a pretty big change, right? That's like -- Skip, you want to lose weight, and you lose, you know, 4 or 5 pounds. You know, you trim up a little bit. But you have the guy that's, hey, Jerry Springer, come rescue me. Cut the wall out of my house and get me out because I'm 700 pounds. Right? He loses 500 pounds. That's more of a significant change.

SKIP: That's going to have a bigger net swing with the pendulum of fairness or equality.

DOC: Right. Or health, in that case.

SKIP: Or health. Exactly. But, no, they want to come over here and say that America is filled with bigots because there are some people that are concerned about somebody who will take a loophole in a law about a bathroom to be a pervert.

DOC: There are headlines every day about the horrible things that happen around the world, not just to Christians, but to Muslims. ISIS is killing Muslims, right? You're not Muslim enough. You're not doing what we say. They're extremist. In this case, you have a 70-year-old woman who is stripped naked and paraded through the streets after being beaten because a mob went after a bunch of Christian households in Egypt because a -- a Christian man was dating a Muslim woman, or so they believed. And the place went crazy.

Where is the equality there? For the Christian? For the old woman? What about that? What about the way women are treated in parts of the world? And you social justice warrior have the audacity to tell me I'm not doing enough?

Like the notion of, well, we're so biased in America. There's so much racism. Look how divided we are. You know, there's no equality in America among races.

Have you ever looked around at other countries? You know what Chinese people have almost exclusively? Asian people.

SKIP: It's your Olympic analogy that put it perfectly in my mind that blew my mind. In fact, I think it was 2012. We were watching the London Olympics. Opening ceremonies. And you made the brilliant point of, take a look at the Chinese team. It's all Chinese people.

DOC: All Chinese.

SKIP: Okay. The Nigerian team.

DOC: All black.

SKIP: Huh. A bunch of black people. And then you see the American team. And you have this coloring book.

DOC: Melting pot.

SKIP: Tall, short, black, white, Chinese. I mean, any color.

DOC: And we get no credit. We're still labeled the racists by these social justice --

SKIP: Not even that we don't get credit, but the fact that we're still this horrible place.

DOC: Yeah.

SKIP: That's worthy --

DOC: Oh, yeah, the unforgivable sin of slavery or whatever.

SKIP: It's amazing.

DOC: How about going after those? You're straining at the gnat and swallowing the camel.

SKIP: It gets to the point of saying that we're not enough of a melting pot. And again, that's the same thing with my previous question about, how much acknowledgment do you have to give to your whiteness or your privilege? How much equality do we need? How much -- I mean, are we not going to be happy in America until there is a perfectly equal distribution of -- I mean, 12 percent white, 12 percent black, 12 percent Chinese? Where does it end?

DOC: No, no, because the pendulum will swing back, and they'll say, in some cases, this minority will be doing better. You're limiting them to 12 percent. That's what they'll end up saying. It will never end, because it's not really about race or gender or religion. It's about control from these people.

I have one more clip from this Portland Community College and their Whiteness History Month. I want you to hear a little bit more of their attitude. Portland Community College.

VOICE: Black or other, we'll always talk about the white guy smile.

(inaudible)

Like awkward smile. And it's kind of like, well, what are you supposed to do? I smile at everybody, but then -- so now I'm conscious about that, when I do the white guy smile.

SKIP: The white guy smile. This is what she's going to bring up. She's saying she's from -- it's a little hard to hear that clip too. She's from a multi-ethnic background too. A mixed race family. And they're always wondering too about how they should be able to react like when you see a black person on the street, when you try to cross a street, if that's going to --

DOC: How do you react when you see -- oh, my stars, a Negro. Like from Blast From the Past. You know how you react? You don't. It's a non-issue. Black, white, Asian on the street, it doesn't matter.

SKIP: But coming out and saying she has to be concerned that she's giving the white guy smile. You know, it's not a sincere. Oh, I'm smiling because I'm supposed to smile. No, I don't have a problem with you being black or any other ethnicity. But I'm white, and I want to make sure that I'm not giving that white guy smile. Because I'm concerned with my white fragility as well.

DOC: Unbelievable. You know what this is, I think this is people that have that white guilt. It's playing on them. It's not me. But they want to extend it to all people. They don't want to be the one that is thinking to themselves, oh, I have to offer this uncomfortable white person smile or whatever. When the rest of us are like, okay, I got crap to do. I have to do this when I get home. I got to whatever. Oh, the wife is texting me. What did I screw up now? That's what I'm going through in my day.

SKIP: Beyond that, I don't deal with any white guilt or anything. I don't care about race.

DOC: I have so much other stuff going on in my life. And by that, I mean my wife and mother-in-law nagging me to get stuff done. I don't have time for this. All day, it's either checking stuff off the list or nagging me for this. I'm cutting strawberries the wrong way. Really? Seriously? This is the type of stuff -- yeah, cutting strawberries the wrong way. That was the one a couple weeks ago. How do you cut strawberries the wrong way? Anyway, that's what I have going on. I'm not worried about, oh, there's a black person. No, it's just, hey, there's a person. I guess these social justice warriors fancy themselves as a warrior -- it's almost to the point -- what are they, like superheroes or something? Is that what it is?

VOICE: In the dead of night, a lonely telephone rings, deep within the lair of solitude. In his parent's basement.

VOICE: Don't judge me, I'm paying off my student loans.

VOICE: When you're at the end of your rope, who is on the other end of the line?

VOICE: Social Justice Warrior here.

VOICE: Social Justice Warrior. The mild-mannered, politically correct, not offensive, progressive superhero.

VOICE: That's me.

VOICE: Called upon by the oppressed to fight social injustice, income inequality, and occasionally scurvy. Social justice warrior, defender of progressive enlightenment. #Socialjusticewarrior.

VOICE: Together with my social justice league superheroes, The Free Lantern, Tax Man and Robin, Hermaphroditey, and Irony Man.

VOICE: Tune in next time when we hear Social Justice Warrior say...

VOICE: Feel the Bern, baby.

VOICE: Only on the Doc Thompson show.

WATCH: BlazeTV reporter details TERRIFYING moment looters surrounded and attacked in Philadelphia

Protests following the fatal police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr quickly devolved into violence, rioting, and looting in Philadelphia, and BlazeTV's Elijah Schaffer was there to document what the mainstream media won't. But while filming the carnage inside a Five Below on Tuesday, Elijah was surrounded and attacked by looters.

Elijah joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Wednesday to detail his experience and to explain why mainstream media efforts to downplay the violence just show that independent media has never been more important.

"Unfortunately, [the attack] escalated from one person to about a dozen very quickly," Elijah explained. "I'm actually really happy to be alive. Because in that same shopping center, right there, there was a 15-year-old girl who was shot, according to reports. And I heard multiple gunshots throughout the night. Another individual is reported to have heard a gunshot as well, so we try to confirm. I watched people get pummeled beyond belief."

Glenn asked Elijah to respond to mainstream media claims that conservatives are exaggerating the looting and violence in Philadelphia.

"It's so funny to hear people that aren't there try to counter what we're reporting," Elijah replied.

His record 'speaks for itself': Jason Whitlock on why President Trump is gaining with black voters

Image source: Video screenshot

In the final days before the 2020 election, President Donald Trump is gaining among black voters, particularly men, because his record of accomplishments "speaks for itself" and the "façade" that President Trump is a racist "just doesn't ring true," argued sports columnist Jason Whitlock on "The Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday.

Jason, who recently interviewed the president at the White House for OutKick.com, shared his thoughts on why he believes many black Americans — notably celebrities such as Kanye West, Ice Cube, and 50 Cent — are breaking from the "façade" that President Trump is a "flaming racist."

"I really believe the facts are starting to speak for themselves, and that Donald Trump's record of accomplishments, particularly as it relates to African Americans, speaks for itself," Jason told Glenn. "He actually has a record to stand on, unlike even Barack Obama. When [Obama] was president, I don't think he had much of a record to stand on, in terms of, 'Hey, what did he actually deliver for African Americans?' President Trump has things he can stand on and, you know, beyond that I think black people understand when he starts talking about black unemployment rate. And America's unemployment rate. And then, when you add in for black men, the façade we've been putting on [President Trump] … you know, this whole thing that he's some flaming racist, it just doesn't ring true."

Jason suggested that Trump's fearlessness, unabashed masculinity, and record of keeping his promises resonates with men in the black community. He also weighed in on how media and social media's bias plays a huge role in convincing people to hate President Trump while ignoring Antifa and others on the Left.

"I keep explaining to people, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, they're some of the most secular places on earth. And we've reduced everyone to a tweet, that we disagree with," he added.

Megyn Kelly: Media coverage of President Trump is ‘DISGUSTING’

Megyn Kelly is not happy about the "disgusting" media coverage of President Donald Trump, specifically pointing to Lesley Stahl's "60 Minutes" interview on CBS Sunday.

On the radio program, Megyn told Glenn Beck the media has become so blinded by the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" that they've lost their own credibility — and now they can't get it back.

"It's disgusting. It's stomach-turning," Megyn said of the media's coverage of the president. "But it's just a continuation of what we've seen over the past couple of years. Their 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' has blinded them to what they're doing to their own credibility. They can't get it back. It's too late. They've already sacrificed it. And now no one is listening to them other than the hard partisans for whom they craft their news."

Megyn also discussed how she would have covered the recent stories about Hunter and Joe Biden's alleged corruption. Watch the video below to catch more of the conversation:

WITCH HUNT: The left has TERRIFYING plans for Trump supporters if Biden wins

Imagine sometime next year, getting called before HUWAC – the House Un-Woke Activities Committee.

"Are you or have you ever been a member of the un-woke?"

Something like that is not as far-fetched as you might think.

Last week, Robert Reich, the former Secretary of Labor during the Clinton administration, now a UC Berkeley professor, tweeted this:

Since the 1970s, there have been dozens of "Truth Commissions" around the world like the kind Robert Reich wants in America. Most of these have been set up in Africa and Latin America. Usually it happens in countries after a civil war, or where there's been a regime change – a dictator is finally overthrown, and a commission is set up to address atrocities that happened under the dictator. Or, as in the commissions in East Germany and Czechoslovakia, atrocities under communism. Or, in the most famous example, South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation commission addressed the decades of apartheid that ravaged that nation.

These commissions usually conclude with an official final report. These commissions and reports have served as a means of governments trying to close a dark chapter of their country's history, or provide emotional catharsis, as a way to generally move on. Sometimes it kind of works for people, most of the time it leaves people clamoring for more justice.

Here's how one professor described truth commissions in an article in The Conversation last year. He wrote:

The goal of a truth commission… is to hold public hearings to establish the scale and impact of a past injustice, typically involving wide-scale human rights abuses, and make it part of the permanent, unassailable public record. Truth commissions also officially recognize victims and perpetrators in an effort to move beyond the painful past… Some have been used cynically as tools for governments to legitimize themselves by pretending they have dealt with painful history when they have only kicked the can down the road.

See, this is the problem with a lot of "Truth" commissions – they are inherently political. Even if you trust your government and give them all the benefit of the doubt in the world that their Truth commission is trying to do the right thing, it is ALWAYS going to be political. Because these truth commissions are never set up by those who have LOST power in government. They're always established by those who have WON power.

The Deputy Executive Director of the International Center for Transitional Justice says one of the main points in these Truth commissions is that "the victims become protagonists."

A Department of Anti-racism is entirely within the realm of possibility.

So, who are the victims in Robert Reich's America? People like him, members of the far-Left who had to endure the atrocities of four years of a president with different political ideas. What an injustice. I mean, the left's suffering during the Trump administration is almost on the level of apartheid or genocide – so we totally need a Truth commission.

There have been lots of calls for the U.S. to have its own Truth and Reconciliation commission, especially around racial injustice.

This past June, Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California introduced legislation to establish the " United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation."

Ibram X. Kendi – the high priest of anti-racism, and author of Target's current favorite book " Antiracist Baby" – proposes a Constitutional anti-racism amendment. This amendment would:

establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for pre-clearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won't yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas. The DOA would be empowered with disciplinary tools to wield over and against policymakers and public officials who do not voluntarily change their racist policy and ideas.

If you think that is far-fetched, you haven't been paying attention to the Left's growing radicalism. In a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, a Department of Anti-racism is entirely within the realm of possibility. And of course, such a DOA would never stop at policing government.

We're in a dangerous, precarious moment in our history. Given the events of 2020, should Democrats gain the White House, the Senate, and the House, how many commissions will be in our future? They will suddenly have plenty of political capital to drag the nation through years of commission hearings.

And the Left's form of justice is never satisfied. You think it will stop at a T&R commission on race? MSNBC's Chris Hayes tweeted this month about the need for a commission to deal with Americans who are skeptical about wearing masks:

Or what about a Truth commission on religion? I mean, look at those reckless churches spreading Covid this year. Or this would be a big one – a T&R commission on climate change deniers.

The Left is highly selective when it comes to truth. That's why they are the very last group you want in charge of anything with "Truth and Reconciliation" in the title.

This is one of the most incredibly frustrating things about the Left in America today. The Left insists there is no such thing as absolute truth, while simultaneously insisting there are certain approved truths that are undeniable.

So, you can't question "Science" – even though that's pretty much what every great scientist in history did.

You can't question racism as the explanation for all of existence – because, well, just because.

You can't question third-party "Fact-checkers" – because the powers that be, mainly Big Tech right now, have decided they are the Truth referees and you have to trust what they say because they're using certified external fact-checkers. They just forgot to tell you that they actually fund these third-party fact-checkers. It's like if McDonald's told you to trust third-party health inspectors that they were paying for.

The Left thinks it has a monopoly on Truth. They're the enlightened ones, because they've had the correct instruction, they're privy to the actual facts. It's psychotic arrogance. If you don't buy what they're selling, even if you're just skeptical of it, it's because you either don't have the facts, you willingly deny the facts, or you're simply incapable of grasping the truth because you're blinded by your raging racism problem. It's most likely the racism problem.

The Left never learns from its own preaching. For the past 60-plus years they've decried the House Un-American Activities Committee for trying to root out communists, getting people canceled, ruining Hollywood careers, etcetera. But a HUAC-type committee is precisely what Robert Reich is describing and many on the Left want. It's not enough for Trump to be voted out of office. Americans who helped put him there must be punished. They don't want reconciliation, they want retribution. Because the Left doesn't simply loathe Donald Trump, the Left loathes YOU.
