White Boy Summer | Ep 34

This week I talk through the week’s headlines and why I think people feel the rules change depending on who you are. Then I take BuzzFeed’s privilege test out loud, joke through the questions, and reflect on what these checklists get right and what they miss. 
• reacting to recent violent crime stories and the way they spread online 
• arguing that punishment and prosecution feel inconsistent 
• questioning media framing and whether it fuels division 
• sharing my take on immigration, public trust, and the feeling of being gaslit 
• pivoting back to virtue, personal growth, and a Christian worldview 
• reading the BuzzFeed privilege quiz and pulling apart the assumptions 
• telling stories about slurs, catcalling, money stress, and being shamed for faith 
• finishing with my score and why the quiz’s tone annoys me 

Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon

Bali Timing And Quick Setup

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Welcome to episode 34 of the Ministry Man Pod. Now, before I go any further, I need to tell you this. Currently, as this is airing, I'm in Bali. But as this is recording, I'm not. If I had to pre-record an app for the first time, normally I record the day before it drops. And I do all the editing like on the day it drops. But this time I'm going away, gonna be in Bali, or I am away, as this is being listened to. So I may be a little bit behind with some of the

Recent Stabbings And Public Fear

SPEAKER_00 0:42

things. So currently, what's going on at the moment? This is what I'm saying. When I'm preparing to like do this episode, I'm like, okay, what's actually happening at the moment? Like, what's got people up in arms? Literally, today, in in the time I'm recording this, some like Sudanese dude tried to decapitate someone in like Ireland in the middle of the street, which is probably the most insane thing that I've ever heard. Uh let me let me just say this. In the last week, I've seen there's that UK kid that got stabbed by the the immigrant the Islamist immigrants who had the ceremonial knives. Apparently, they're allowed to carry these ceremonial knives around, and uh, and someone's just killed a kid with them. So there's that. We also had the um the there was the Austin Metcalf stabbing where there was a black kid took a knife to a track meet and found the and like went to the section where this Austin kid was, stabbed him in the chest, and he died. Uh and then there was also like yeah, the suit this Sudanese thing. And to be honest, by the time this is actually recorded, there's probably gonna be another one or two in the news that I'm not gonna be able to report on, so I do apologize about that. But there seems to be a lot of black-on-white crime, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be a little bit of a trend going on.

Two-Tier Policing And Soft Prosecution

SPEAKER_00 2:23

What also seems to be, I mean, because this is this is the thing they're talking about the two-tier policing system in the UK, because like what seems to be happening is that the punishment isn't fitting the crime anymore. So normally what would happen is like, you know, a crime happens, and to be fair, like there was a history, at least in the US, I believe, of like black people getting put in jail for 10 years for just having a little bit of marijuana on them or something. But like a white person wouldn't would it wouldn't happen to them. So you can see that there was definitely like two-tier historically, but then all the protests and everything happen because we want equality. And now it seems that the pendulum has swung too far the other way, and people are like people are afraid to prosecute anyone of like a different ethnicity outside of Caucasian. So that it's just really weird. Well, it's not it's not just that, it's not just weird, that's probably a bad way to put it. Um, it's insane and it's out of control, and like it needs to there needs to be insane change because like I don't even know what's happening out there, like it's it just seems so like okay. Usually when someone commits a crime, there's punishment for that crime, and the worse the crime, the more severe the punishment as an incentive to not commit the crime. Okay, so when you have these people dying, and this, these, you know, they don't want to call them racially motivated or racially charged crimes. I mean, okay, this is probably the best one or the best example was the guy on the train who killed Arena, the the Russian girl or Ukrainian girl, stabbed her in the neck, walk and walked off saying, like, I got that white chick, I got that white chick. Um, you know, he didn't use that language, but so I mean it that sounds to me to be pretty racially motivated. And then they're like, Yeah, we won't prosecute him though, because he was out of his mind, even though he had like 40 other prior arrests that they just charged him normally, but this particular one that seemed to be racially motivated, he uh he didn't want to they didn't want to prosecute him for that, and so definitely seems a little bit strange. It seems a little bit strange. Now, but the point being made is that usually, let's say life behind bars or like a death penalty penalty is pretty big incentive to not commit those crimes anymore. Well, that incentive isn't really there for a lot of these crimes that are happening because like some of the people getting prosecuted aren't being prosecuted. I mean, to be fair, like the um Carmelo Anthony, I believe he got like 35 years, which is good because it was just the most insane, blatant homicide, like that's just full-on homicide, premeditated as well. Like he brought a knife to a track mate, went and found the guy out. So, I mean, that's pretty crazy. Um, but like, not without huge amounts of protests. People they were literally saying, like, say his name, say his name. They're all saying, like, so Camelo Anthony was the kid that killed Austin Metcalf, which is the the the white kid that died. There was like black protesters that and they were saying, say his name, and they were repeating Camelo Anthony. It's like, you did that with like you do that with everyone. So it's like if if a black person is killed and they go, say his name. And if the black person is the killer, then they go say his name. It's like what you can't just keep doing that. You can't just like say his name for every single thing that happens. Like you gotta pick one. Cause then because then it just sullies everything. It's like, oh, okay, well, you you're just like shouting now. You're just literally just you're just shouting anything, like so. People aren't gonna listen anymore. Like say saying say his name for everything. Well, okay, well, then the name's not gonna hold much weight now, is it? It's like I don't know, a black guy gets gets tripped over, you know, someone kicks the back of his back of his foot, kicks the back of his foot, and he falls over and scuffs his knee.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Say his name.

SPEAKER_00 6:48

Oh my gosh. Someone cuts a black guy off in traffic. Say his name. Like, this is what they're doing. You're just not helping yourselves, bro.

Race War Claims And Media Trust

SPEAKER_00 7:00

There's there is a full-on race war. A full-on race war. And like here's here's the thing. Okay, here's the thing. The guy that killed um George Floyd, so he got like two 20 plus year sentences to serve concurrently, which he's currently serving, right? Which is crazy. Like two, like obviously, like he got such a harsh sentence because of the protests and the rage. But he he was a cop that was called and pulled up on the scene to for him, and he was like tripping out on Fent. Like he didn't just like go out of his way to kind of just target someone and pick on him, like, I don't know, dude. But there's there is clearly they're either trying to create a race war. I think last week I spoke about the gender war. Bro, the gender war is like pretty much nothing in comparison to the race war at the moment. It's a full-on, it's a full-on race war. And you know what? Guess who started it? The government. You know why? Because they keep importing they keep importing people into the country from different cultures, bro. How can you not think that this is intentional or that there's like an agenda going on? Like you look at all the like the what the media did during the the Black Lives Matter kind of like riots, like they weren't protests, they were full-on riots. And the media, there were like there's literally fire, like built like cars burning in the background. They're like, Yeah, these mostly peaceful protests. Like, is it who remembers that? It's like, okay, so you're in on something then, like for you to be like literally the city looked like it was in engulfed in flames, and you're like, Yeah, these mostly peaceful protests. It was like there was nothing peaceful about it, it was completely insane. They were rioting, and you're calling it a peaceful protest. So, like, you because we can see that, right? So we can see what's going on. So, what what like we're not idiots. We you can't just tell us it's a peaceful protest, and people are burning buildings and smashing windows and lighting cars on fire and flipping, like getting into fights, and like you can't just say it's mostly peaceful because we can see it, we're watching it. All that means is that you're like, we can see that you're trying to push an agenda. That's what any rational person, I mean, let's be fair, there was a lot of just completely mind-numbingly stupid people that was just on this that side, and so this is the thing no one cared that Carmelo Anthony killed this other kid in cold blood that was supporting him, like all the people that were saying to free him and he's innocent. They cared because he was of the same ethnicity as as them. And so, for better or worse, for right or wrong, they're like, No, he's innocent. And so, when people look at the information logically and they go, Okay, well, obviously he isn't innocent though, like he's he's a cold-blooded killer. Like, that's what that's what that is. That's what that means when you stab someone with your own knife, by the way, that you brought there. And so we know that like we can see the things. You can't fool us, you're not tricking anyone. You can't tell me that the sky is pink if I go outside and I look, I can see it's blue. You can't just keep saying, you can't just keep repeating the things, like it just doesn't make it true. And like with all the immigration stuff, like okay, everyone's completely like losing their minds. There's crime, like all of the worst crimes have increased in conjunction with an increase in immigration, and the crimes are associated with those immigrants. So, what's the conclusion, the objective conclusion that there is a there's a causation here? It's it's you know, you look at there's a correlation and causation. It's the cause. The cause of the increase in crime is due to those immigrants that are doing those crimes. Let me get one of the craziest statistics. So listen to this. This is from interracial violence of grape victims. Black victims by white grapists in 2008, zero. White victims by black grapists in 2008, 19,293. This is from the US Department of Justice National Crime Victimization Survey done in 2008. What does that tell you? Like what the hell what like come on? Come on. What are we doing? What are we doing? We've got we've got information like this. The government has information like this. What do they do with it? They gaslight you and just and call you racist. Where's the objectivity gone? Where's just like simple logic? Why aren't they telling us not to go swimming in shark-infested waters anymore? Why aren't they telling us that?

Virtue, Faith And A Christian Lens

SPEAKER_00 12:40

Oh here's the thing, bro. Like, I don't even want to do any like I most of the time I don't want to talk about this sort of stuff. The thing that I want to talk about the most is like becoming a better human being, right? So like I don't like brain rot. And I don't like the fact that civilization doesn't put much emphasis on cultivating virtue anymore. And I would like to be a place that people can come and learn maybe some philosophy or some psycho psychology or something. I don't know, like things that I normally read about and that I'm interested in. I like to talk about those things. But this stuff is just so in your face every day, all the time, that it's so hard to get away from, especially when it's just so blatantly stupid. And like, and like how how are you meant to make sense of this? Except for the fact that there's obviously like there's an agenda and everyone's stupid. And I mean, this is basically a set, like what I believe is that it's a satanic agenda, because I believe in demons and the devil, and so becoming more Christ-like is like the answer to to lit literally everything, is like all of this stuff, like no matter what happens, if your relationship is good with God and you've you've died to your flesh so much that you're able to, you're not afraid anymore, like you're you're still able to perform the tasks that God has you to do. So that's like kind of the main thing, but man, there's just there's so much going on, and um and you know what? You know what the other thing is? I've got I've got white privilege, and so why why should I be mad? You know I've got white privilege. Apparently, all white people are privileged and inherently racist too. So I'm I'm privileged and racist, bro. Like, why so why should I care? Um you know. Oh you know what?

Taking The BuzzFeed Privilege Quiz

SPEAKER_00 14:48

There is something that I've always wanted to do. There is this BuzzFeed uh test that will check how privileged you are. I'm gonna do the test. I want to know how privileged I am. Because apparently I've got at least some white privilege. So that rules. Um okay, so BuzzFeed has this how privileged are you test. It's like a checklist test, like a quiz. And it was actually, it was this was updated in 2023. So I think I feel like I saw this like way like years ago, but this has been updated since in 2023. So that's like post-COVID. That's post-BLM riots. So apparently, like, you know, let's check. Let's check the privilege. So we'll go through it. I'll read, I'll read these out as I go. It says to check off all the statements that apply to you. Number one, I am white. That's the first thing on the list. This is just check your privilege, by the way. This isn't this like this isn't making sure you you've got white privilege. This is just check your overall privilege in the world, in society. Number one, I am white. Check hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah. I'm so white. I have number two. I've never been discriminated against because of my skin color. Let me think about that actually. Because at the moment, there is that that two-tier policing. So maybe I have. Maybe I have been discriminated against because of my skin colour. I don't know, man. I mean, also with DEI, DEI is a thing that they were actively trying to get more people of colour, and so they could turn down like white people. There were many white people losing their position because let's say, you know, if there's 10 roles available and nine of the highest scores are white people, and they're like, Well, we can't have that, so we're gonna have to take people with lower scores to make sure we get the diversity quotas. So maybe I actually don't know if I've ever been discriminated against because of my skin color, but I'm gonna tick it, I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt. I don't believe that I've been discriminated against because of my skin colour. I don't know, but I don't think so. I've never been the only person of my race in a room. Now, uh, I have been. I have been. I remember going to one of my friend's birthdays, he's a Samoan guy, and I walk into the hide this apartment, and there's like 15 Samoans in there, and then me. And I was like, what the hell? They're all calling me the white, the white boy. They call me the white boy the whole night, and it was it was Loki Liet. Like I had a great time, they're all really nice to me. And Samoans are huge, bro. I felt like an ant, but yeah, okay. Well, there we go. So I've lost a bit of privilege because that's happened to me. Uh next one, I've never been mocked for my accent, dude. I grew up playing Xbox online. I've been brutally mocked for my accent. What do you mean? Brutally.

SPEAKER_01 18:23

I've never I've never been told I am attractive for my race, bro. No one has ever said that to anyone ever. What do you mean? What do you mean? Man, damn, you're hot for your race. No way, that has never happened. There is no way anyone's for my race.

SPEAKER_00 19:02

Like, I unless they're trying to say, like, you know, oh you're it's no, no matter which way you swing it, if they go you're hot for your race, first of all, that's so wildly inappropriate, but also just so funny the idea that someone would ever say that, like, who would have the audacity to say that to someone? Because like, if they find them to be attractive, then you why would you why would you lead with that? But then if you broke it down, oh man, like you're hot for an Asian, like that's so rude to say, like, why would you ever who has said this?

SPEAKER_01 19:44

Oh man, I can tick that one. I've never been told I'm attractive for my brain, bro. Oh, that one's so good. I'm glad I didn't read through these before doing this because oh, that's so funny.

SPEAKER_00 20:08

Jeez. Alright, I need to move on. I have never been a victim of violence because of my race. I don't think I have. I've never been called a racial slur. I have been called so many racial slurs in my life. You have no idea. First of all, I believe cracker is the the slur for white people. I've definitely been called cracker by black people, and oftentimes it's in jest, but and and honestly, probably at times not, but like it's like white people don't really get like have slurs that we care about. Like you're not gonna like white people just don't really have words that we care about. We just don't have that, we don't have that button. You can't just push that button with with white whiteys, although I haven't called whitey, and that was low-key scary because I was on Pentecost Island, and if you don't know where that is, it's in Venuatu, and it's a very uh remote island, and also they like still live in huts, and the guys walk around with their balls out, and the girls walk around with their boobs out. It's a very, very strange place, and the whole island smells like balls, it smells terrible. It's like BO all over the whole island. Anyway, I was on a cruise ship and I went for a walk when I was like 16 or something, and I remember I was supposed to get back to get onto the to the cruise ship, and I kind of like lost track of time, and I realized I was walking, like all of the other people that were on the tour were gone, and it was just me by myself. And I saw this four year old kid walk around with a machete right in front of me, and he was just dragging it behind behind him like it was like a pillow. It was this massive machete almost as long as he was, and then all these other like guys from the island were calling out to me, they're going, Hey, why? Hey, what a and I was uh low-key intimidated. So but all that to say, I have been called racial slurs. I've been called the the end bomb. People have dropped the end bomb on me. I mean that that is a racial slur, and people have said that to me a lot of times. So in all honesty, I can't check that box because I um because I have. I've never been told I sound white. No, I've never been told that I sound white. I've been told that I sound black when I was in my early mid-twenties. So I don't know. But to be honest to the question, I have never been told that I sound white. A stranger has never asked to touch my hair or has asked if it's real. I've definitely been asked if people can touch my hair. Absolutely. When you shave your head, people do that all the time. Can I touch your hair? Can I touch your shaved head? Um, I literally had my nephew, I dyed my hair the other day, and my nephew asked if he could touch my hair. So yeah, I have actually had people. Oh, okay, you said stranger. I used to have really long hair, and I have been asked, like on nights out, when I used to go out, people to touch my hair. So that has definitely happened. Usually they were doing it to see if I had product or something in my hair. Um, but yeah, that happened. I am heterosexual. Hell yeah, dude. Let's check that. I get so much privilege for being a straight guy, or just for being straight, doesn't even say guy. I wonder if I wonder if it has man on here. If I'm male, if there's any privilege, if they if BuzzFeed thinks that just being male, you're privileged. I never had to come out. I mean, unless you count being a Christian, because I was kind of like a closet Christian for a while, like I didn't want to tell anyone, and then I felt like you know I had to break the news and be like, guys, I um I have you probably gotta want to sit down for this. I uh I know that we like to party together and drink and do ketamine, but I gave my life to the Lord, and in doing so, I won't be able to partake in in those chivalries anymore. They didn't take it well. Now this one's hilarious. This one's I've never been called a fag, bro. You have an ungodly amount of times. I've been called that an ungodly amount of times. Again, like a lot of these things like get thrown around so much. Like, why is this on here? Because like obviously, if you aren't a homosexual, that's not that's not offensive. Like if someone calls me a fag, I'm not I like I'm not upset by that. But I think like but then but then if you are gay, then why would you be upset by that anyway? Calling a gay person gay is not that's just like what that is. So I can't check that box. I've been called that more times than I can possibly count. Uh I have never been called Dyke, bro. Again, a lot, man. A lot. I've never been called a fairy or any other derogatory slur for homosexuals. All of the slur, I've been called all of the homosexual slurs. I'm probably there's I can guarantee you there's a group chat right now that someone has clipped like something that I've said, or the fact that I dyed my hair the other day. I'm pretty sure the boys would have posted a picture I've posted with my dyed hair and called me a fairy or some derogatory slur for homosexuals. I'm probably being called that at the moment. That that conversation is probably happening right now. So I can't check that box unfortunately unfortunately. I've never tried I've never tried to hide my sexuality. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I was like, I was at a gay bar and I didn't want anyone to know I was straight. No, I've never tried to hide. The idea of a straight person trying to hide their sexuality is so funny. I am always comfortable with PDA with my partner in public. No, no, I hate that. I've never been comfortable with PDA with my partner in public. Like, my yeah, I I used to like it used to annoy me when my partner, my ex would try like it was almost like I know, I'm not gonna get into it. I don't like it. Just operate as a normal civilian. Operate as we don't even, I don't even want to know you in public. If I'm with my girl, I don't even want you to look at me in public. I just want you to be like strangers. I have never pretended to be just friends with my significant other. Yeah, dude. Yeah, she was annoying, she was so annoying, and so hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:33

Like this girl, yeah. No, she's a good mate, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

Oh, can I tell you like I wanted to sometimes? Is that bad? Um, but I have to I have to check that. I don't think I ever genuinely did that. I have never been ostracized by my religion for my sexual orientation. No, they're a big fan of the straaties, um, my religion. They um they're a big fan of God's design. So they're good with me. I've never been told I would burn in hell for my sexual orientation. Damn. Yeah, no, yeah, no one's ever no one's ever said that to a straight dude. I've never been told that my sexuality is just a phase.

SPEAKER_01 28:30

I am definitely using that with the homies because that's that's so good.

SPEAKER_00 28:39

This is one of the boys is like, man, I know you're straight now, but it's just a phase, you'll grow out of it. You're you're a super homo. I want to text one of my mates now and just tell them that. It's just a phase, bro. We know, we know. I know you think you like chicks, and I know you've got a girlfriend. We know what this is, you'll grow out of it. It's just you're a raging homosexual, and we all know it. So when you're when you're really ready to accept yourself, just I'll be there. I've never been violently threatened because of my sexuality. No, dude. Definitely not. And here it is. I am a man. Hell yeah, dude. Buzzfeed thinks being a man is a privilege. Which means if you're a woman, you are you are underprivileged. Buzzfeed's basically saying life is worse for women. Like it's just it just sucks for women. So those that like, if you if you're a girl, because I know a lot of girls that's like, I love being a girl. Well, guess what? It's worse for you than it is to be a man. Apparently, according to BuzzFeed, if you like being a girl, just know BuzzFeed thinks it's way better, it's better to be a man. So you can like it, like that's fine. Like, be comfortable as a girl, but it's just it's better to be a man. Like men rule, dude.

unknown 30:21

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:24

Boys, boys, boys, boys. Let's go. I feel comfortable in the gender I was born as. Hell yeah. Well, it's the bet it's the best one, right? It right, BuzzFeed. I'm a man, so I got I got the I got picked for the best one. I've never been denied an opportunity because of my gender. Um, yes. The amount of um all-girl sleepovers that I wasn't invited to just because I'm a guy, hella discrimination. The amount of time I can't go into the women's bathrooms, can't there was a DNM, there was a girls DNM, which stands for deep and meaningful for those that don't know, and they wouldn't let me join purely because of my gender. Because they're like, oh, it's girl talk. So I'm under underprivileged, I was discriminated against, and I'm not happy about that. I make more money than my professional counterparts of a different gender. There is no way for me to substantiate that. I work for myself and I but no, no, it's uh that wouldn't be true. I've never felt unsafe because of my gender. Ooh, no, dude. No way. If I ever felt unsafe because of my gender, I would probably be one of those homosexuals that they were talking about. I've never been catculed. Um, I've been catculed. Dude, I have been so vulgarly catculed. Like you have no idea that the the types of things that girls have said, like the gestures that girls have made. I'm literally driving my car, and a car two girls are driving on the on the highway, doing like a hundred on the highway, and I look over, and a girl is gesturing um a let's say how can I say this w while still keeping it appropriate? She's gesturing inappropriately, signaling to do inappropriate things on the highway. I'm just driving my car. Um so that was that was hectic. Um, so yes, I I would say that that's worse than a cat call, but yes, I've also just been regularly catcalled too, so I can't tick that. And apparently I'm underprivileged because of that. That's points off the privilege. Because I like being I like being catcalled. It makes me, it's like, hell yeah. But according to this, it's a bad thing. So I can't check the box. I've never been sexually harassed or assaulted. How many more of these? Okay, I'm gonna have to oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Money, Body Image And Real Hardship

SPEAKER_00 33:18

Okay. I am going to go through a few of these. Bro, I'm gonna speed through and just like read out maybe just the funny ones because um there is a significant amount more than I realized. So, but I will read this. I've never been sexually harassed or assaulted. I think I I think that I have. Not assaulted, but like harassed. I'm pretty sure I have. Yeah, yeah, I have. I would say that I have. Like people touching you inappropriately, people touching you when you don't want to be touched, like all that sort of stuff. Not into that. This one's extreme. No, I have never been that. Um of these are just dumb. I work in a salaried job. Well how well since when is having a salary like you're privileged because you have a salary? Like in what world is it like, oh, like any job you get, you're hired and employed because you're good, you can do the job. So, like a salary is deserving of the job. Like, you're doing work in exchange of getting money. Just because you're on a salary doesn't mean that that's like extra special. So there's some people that are on a salary that I make more money than, or that other people are on an hourly wage and make more money than a salary. Like I it doesn't even I don't know, dude. I don't know. I don't have any student loans, but that's not like a privilege. I didn't go to university. Like, I don't have a college education. So not having student loans, like having student loans is meant to be a disadvantage. How is that how does that make sense? Like, I like people would look at me and be like, oh, you didn't go to university or to college. So like that's that's the bad thing. Not having the student loans. Uh, I don't know. I've never gone to bed hungry, bro, so many times. I literally, I literally went to bed hungry, like two or three hours earlier than I would normally go to bed. I've like years ago, this is like I've never been home. I was homeless. I was homeless for one day and one night. And I have hella gone to bed hungry. I've never felt poor. I've felt so poor because I have literally been poor. I've never been told I'm overweight or too skinny. Bro, I used to be so fat. I've definitely been told I've been overweight. I've never felt overweight or too skinny. Yeah, bro. I feel like almost everyone has felt one of those things. And I've been ashamed of my body type. Okay, here we go. I've never been shamed for my religious beliefs. Yeah, boy. I've literally had people turn their nose up in a f like physically and literally turn their nose up, like screw their nose. Ugh. You're that Christian. Now, I've never been violently threatened for my religious beliefs. Hell no. I am not nervous in airport security lines. Brother, I'm always nervous in airport security lines. Like, there is no way that I'm never not going to be nervous in airport security lines. I always, for some reason, think, what if they find something on me, even though I could have literally nothing on me? I could I could walk through security stark naked and not bring a bag and think that they're gonna find something. It's just the way that I am. Now, the last question.

I feel privileged because of the identities I was born with. Check. I definitely, dude, I'm white, male, straight. Dude, I'm so privileged. What can I do with all this privilege, man? Oh my gosh. I'm it says I'm quite privileged. It says you are quite privileged. I I checked 55 out of 100. And it says, okay, it says you're quite privileged. You've had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. Yeah, I know it's not something to be ashamed of, of course. Why would I be ashamed of having a good life? Like that's blessed, that's a blessing, not a shameful thing. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don't have them. Thank you for checking your privilege. Awesome, man. Well, there you have it, bro. There you have it. I am quite privileged, according to BuzzFeed. So now that I know that, life's good, bro. Life's good. And now that I know that, you know what? It's gonna be a white boy summer that is coming in hot. Cause we're out here, baby. We out here. I wish I was more privileged than that, though. That is disappointing. I thought I'd be more privileged. I guess, yeah, there was a lot of things. Is that bad that I'm sad that I'm not not as privileged as I thought I would be? Okay, let me check every box. I want to see what it says. If you check every box, and then I want to check to see like when no, when nothing is you've checked absolutely nothing. Okay, 100%. You're the most privileged. This is what it says. You're among the most privileged people in the world. We don't live in an ideal world, but you happen to be born into an into an ideal lot. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. Why would anyone be ashamed of this stuff? It's like feeling shame, bro, and not blessed and not like thankful and grateful. This is the this is the lens that they look. Hey, you don't need to feel shame just because like just because your parents loved you and they looked after you and gave you a nice upbringing and sent you to a nice school and you never had to pay your own bills, like you don't have to feel any sh-no shame in that. Why would there be shame in that? It says it just means a lot of other people in the world don't live life with the advantages you have, and that's something you should always be aware of. Hey, the fact that you took the time and effort to check your privilege means that you're already trying. So patronizing, bro. Now, this is this is when you tick none of them. When you check your privilege and you get you get zero. You're underprivileged. The world is not a fair or ideal place, and you know that because you grew up with several identities that the world is not kind to. You had a lot of challenges to overcome simply to get on a level playing field with the most with most people in the world. It is not your job to educate the world about its injustices, but if you choose to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help. Why wouldn't why I feel like this is the type of person that doesn't need to feel the shame. Like needs an encouragement to be like, there's no shame in that.

SPEAKER_00 40:41

I can't believe I used to like BuzzFeed. I used to read BuzzFeed all the time, bro. Well, there you have it, guys. I'm only like quite privileged. I'm not as privileged as I as I thought I was. So I don't really know what that means for me. I always I always thought that I had a little bit more than that.

Anyway, I'm going to to wrap it up because currently, as I'm as I'm recording this, it's like nearly midnight, and I've got to be up in like three or four hours. So I'll try and get some sleep. But um, as always, remember that Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and he's coming back soon. And guess what? You know what? If anyone is under underprivileged, I hope their life gets better. And if anyone's discriminated against, I hope they're not. Oh, blah blah. I'm wrapping it up. Alright. Thanks, guys. I love you.
