NC columnist: I'm glad you racists didn't vote for the Black guy (11-12-2024--Hour2)

This episode is presented by Create A Video – In one of the most insipid and racialist column I've ever seen, McClatchy columnist Isaac Bailey basically calls Republican voters racist for not supporting Mark Robinson enough to win his race for governor - but he's glad they didn't.

[00:00:28] Let's talk a little bit about the election. A little bit about the results. A couple different topics here. This is all on the state front. So North Carolina election results. And there was today in the Charlotte Observer, as well as the News and Observer, so the McClatchy papers here in North Carolina, they ran a column by a guy named Isaac Bailey.

[00:00:55] Who is apparently a racial essentialist. Boils everything down to race. Everything is through this prism. And he writes a, you know, open letter, if you will, to Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. And here's the headline. Dear Mark Robinson, you tried to be Trump, but forgot that you're black.

[00:01:25] Okay. Not sure Mark Robinson never forgot he's black. Number one. Number two, there's only one Donald Trump. There are a lot of candidates who try to be Donald Trump and cannot because, see previous rule, there's only one Donald Trump.

[00:01:48] So, uh, already off to a bad start. Bailey says, can I speak to you black man to black man? Failing to learn the lesson our parents taught us long ago came back to bite you in the butt. We must be twice as good to get half as far.

[00:02:06] I'm not sure that, uh, this kind of discouragement is actually helping people advance and, uh, and improve their lot in life.

[00:02:25] I'm not telling, I'm not so sure that telling people that the deck is stacked against you. You have to be way better than everybody else to get half as much because for a lot of people that might actually act as a disincentive to try.

[00:02:43] Maybe don't do that. Maybe instead say, Hey, if you work hard and you play by the rules, you'll get ahead because that is actually closer to reality.

[00:02:55] Why do you think Mark Robinson? So this guy just puts on display a galactic amount of ignorance about Republican voters, which I do find interesting by the way, because he's going to say that Mark Robinson was abandoned because he's black by Republicans.

[00:03:24] But wouldn't that also mean then by that same metric that Democrats are also racist if Republicans are racist for not voting for Robinson? Oh, I understand. Oh, sorry. It's different when Democrats do it, right? It's a different standard.

[00:03:42] We simply disagree with Mark Robinson on his policies has nothing to do with his race.

[00:03:49] And by the way, I don't believe that either. I think Mark Robinson becoming the first black governor was seen as a very big threat to Democrats.

[00:04:01] They don't like it when a conservative person of color succeeds. They don't. They don't celebrate that.

[00:04:10] And all I got to do is just, you know, point to all of the Republican people of color that have succeeded, won elections and such, and they're not celebrated.

[00:04:25] Like Robinson made this very point himself talking about how he's the first black lieutenant governor in the state of North Carolina.

[00:04:34] Is he celebrated as such by left wing groups that are racial essentialists? No.

[00:04:41] They just simply tout that when it's somebody who's already, you know, of the left.

[00:04:46] They like that. They use that. They will use the minority status.

[00:04:52] They'll use your skin color, your religion, ethnicity, whatever your gender or sexual orientation, right?

[00:04:58] They'll use all of that stuff. If you are on their team, if you are not on their team, then it's blinders.

[00:05:06] He goes on to say, though, this America is better than the America we were born into five decades ago.

[00:05:12] That truism remains. Things have changed, but not by that much.

[00:05:20] Once again, I'd like to point out Mark Robinson won a Republican primary to be the lieutenant governor nominee.

[00:05:28] He then won the general election race to be the lieutenant governor.

[00:05:35] He then won another Republican primary to be the gubernatorial nominee.

[00:05:41] He then lost after the scandalous stories were published by CNN and his speeches that he was giving in churches and his posts on Facebook and all of this other stuff.

[00:05:56] And some of this stuff was known. Prior to him winning those races.

[00:06:04] So you cannot look at Mark Robinson's trajectory and the historical record and come to the conclusion that the only reason he lost somehow is because he's black.

[00:06:16] That's absurd. And as I said, it shows a great ignorance of the motivation of Republican voters who would want nothing more than to have a black governor.

[00:06:32] Conservatives, particularly the boomers, really, really, really want there to be black conservatives in office.

[00:06:41] Really, really, really. You don't have to believe me. Doesn't matter to me if you do or don't.

[00:06:48] But boomers have been scarred by the slurs of racism.

[00:06:55] They really don't like being called it.

[00:06:58] They come from an era where they saw, you know, the civil rights movement and all of this stuff.

[00:07:02] A lot of them were on board with all of that stuff and they wanted change.

[00:07:06] They wanted equality. And then because they disagree with your big government communist crap, you call them racists.

[00:07:14] And you convince black voters to never vote for Republicans, even though the Democrats were the party of the Klan.

[00:07:22] So they would very much prefer to have more black conservatives.

[00:07:28] They love black conservatives.

[00:07:31] Love them.

[00:07:33] It helps to disprove the notion that they're racist.

[00:07:37] They would love it.

[00:07:41] But candidates matter.

[00:07:46] He says, don't get me wrong.

[00:07:48] Oh, he says, sorry, let me back up one sentence.

[00:07:50] To your supporters, you were more mascot than man.

[00:07:56] What a dehumanizing thing to say to somebody.

[00:08:00] This is this is a thing that.

[00:08:03] That I think a lot of people on the left don't realize when they do it.

[00:08:07] Because you don't think that you're capable of it.

[00:08:10] But a lot of times y'all are just mean.

[00:08:13] You're just mean.

[00:08:14] Did you know that?

[00:08:16] Now, you may not be trying to be mean or something, but you really come across as mean.

[00:08:22] Nasty.

[00:08:22] Nasty.

[00:08:24] After letting you kiss their babies, they dropped you like a bad habit.

[00:08:30] See, what is he?

[00:08:33] He's not attributing this to anything other than Mark Robinson's race.

[00:08:40] Like, you guys made a huge deal about the porn story.

[00:08:44] The porn stuff, right?

[00:08:46] You made such a big deal about all of this stuff.

[00:08:48] And we all know you don't care.

[00:08:50] You don't care that Mark Robinson was watching porn.

[00:08:53] You don't care.

[00:08:54] You wanted us to care.

[00:08:55] You wanted conservatives to care.

[00:08:57] And then when conservatives did care, now you call them racist.

[00:09:02] You are terrible, Isaac Bailey.

[00:09:05] You're a terrible person.

[00:09:08] Do you even realize what you do?

[00:09:10] Are you aware of this?

[00:09:13] Nasty.

[00:09:14] Mean.

[00:09:17] You guys shouldn't vote for Mark Robinson because of all the porn.

[00:09:20] I mean, I don't care about porn, but you should care because you're all Christians.

[00:09:23] Okay.

[00:09:24] All right, fine.

[00:09:24] I guess I'll vote for Josh Stein.

[00:09:26] Aha!

[00:09:26] You're a racist!

[00:09:27] Like, that's the game he is playing right now.

[00:09:32] He says, don't get me wrong.

[00:09:35] I'm glad they did drop you like a bad habit.

[00:09:38] You should not be North Carolina governor.

[00:09:41] You are neither qualified in temperament nor vision.

[00:09:43] Still, it's important to explain what happened before you fade out of the headlines and become political wallpaper.

[00:09:50] So, he's happy that the voters did not pick Mark Robinson.

[00:09:58] He says he wasn't qualified in temperament or vision.

[00:10:04] And so, when you've won the argument, there's a saying in sales, like when you have the sale, stop selling, right?

[00:10:10] Stop talking.

[00:10:11] You have the sale.

[00:10:12] Like, dude, you won.

[00:10:14] Why?

[00:10:16] See, here's the thing.

[00:10:17] You can't pass up Isaac Bailey and the News and Observer, the McClatchy Papers, the Charlotte Observer.

[00:10:23] Y'all just can't help yourself.

[00:10:25] You can't help yourself.

[00:10:27] You can't break free of this racialized prism that you view everything through.

[00:10:33] And you're mean.

[00:10:34] And so, you just need to stick it to somebody.

[00:10:38] The people that did the thing that you wanted them to do and reject this man, they did it and it's still not enough for you.

[00:10:49] You are still going to call them racists.

[00:10:52] You're just disgusting.

[00:10:54] And the News or the McClatchy Papers, Charlotte Observer, you guys ran this trash.

[00:10:59] Just garbage.

[00:11:01] You know, stories are powerful.

[00:12:03] Got an email here from Brian to Pete at thepetecalendershow.com.

[00:12:09] Pete, when the top Republicans came out and said they need to do a better job vetting the candidates, they were full of it.

[00:12:18] Mark was baked into the Trump cake.

[00:12:21] It didn't matter what anybody said.

[00:12:23] Mark was going to get the nomination.

[00:12:25] I knew he would never have a chance just by the stuff he has said at churches and whatnot.

[00:12:30] Everybody should have been behind Dale Falwell.

[00:12:33] He was my choice for sure.

[00:12:34] He would have had a better chance and maybe even could have won.

[00:12:40] And that's, yeah, I mean, Falwell may have had a better shot.

[00:12:45] I don't know.

[00:12:49] But this idea that Republicans rejected Mark Robinson, that he can't possibly win because he's black.

[00:12:57] This coming from a black left wing columnist at the Charlotte Observer is just asinine.

[00:13:05] He won the lieutenant governor's race.

[00:13:10] He won two nominations statewide in the GOP primary.

[00:13:16] MAGA World loves him.

[00:13:18] Like this guy is, I guess, maybe he's not, but I'm assuming he's paid something to write these op-eds for the newspaper.

[00:13:30] Do you guys ever, I don't know, like stop and think maybe the person that's writing this kind of claptrap might not know what they're writing about?

[00:13:42] Or does it just have the ring of truth to you?

[00:13:45] It sounds truthy to you, right?

[00:13:48] When the entire newsroom and editorial board all think the same way, this is what you get.

[00:13:54] He says, you tried to be Donald Trump.

[00:13:59] He's talking to Mark Robinson.

[00:14:01] You tried to be Donald Trump, but forgot that you're black and he's not.

[00:14:04] You were born poor, worked in a factory.

[00:14:07] Yeah, because Republicans hate the rags to riches stories.

[00:14:10] Oh, they just hate them.

[00:14:12] CJD Vance.

[00:14:14] He's been rich since the journey through his mother's womb and was known for stiffing blue collar workers.

[00:14:20] Dude, how did you not know black men don't get the chances a white man like Trump routinely receives?

[00:14:27] That's at the heart of your loss in a state Trump won.

[00:14:32] Black men don't get the chances a white man like Trump routinely receives.

[00:14:38] Have you heard of Diddy?

[00:14:40] Heard of a guy named Sean Combs?

[00:14:44] P. Diddy?

[00:14:47] Seems like that guy got away with a whole bunch of stuff for a really long time.

[00:14:54] Then he talks about how Michelle Morrow, the candidate for superintendent of public instruction.

[00:15:00] But she got she got beaten by Mo Green, a black candidate, he says, who was twice as qualified.

[00:15:07] She had no experience and homeschooled her kids.

[00:15:10] He led the state's third largest school district and put two kids through the North Carolina public school system.

[00:15:16] He will now lead.

[00:15:17] Despite that mismatch in qualifications, he only won by a few points.

[00:15:22] Oh, see that even when you win.

[00:15:27] Right.

[00:15:27] Even when you look, if Michelle Morrow had the kind of baggage that Robinson had and she had a bunch, which is why I would submit she lost.

[00:15:39] She had too much baggage.

[00:15:40] But the other thing about Mo Green is that.

[00:15:44] Um, if you're trying to upend the K-12 system, Mo Green's not the guy to do it.

[00:15:50] Your qualifications, quote unquote.

[00:15:54] Don't always translate into a benefit here.

[00:15:57] The quote qualifications like I know how to run these K-12 schools because I've been running K-12 schools like, yeah, that's the freaking problem, guys.

[00:16:05] Race.

[00:16:05] People wanted change to occur.

[00:16:07] That's why Morrow beat Truitt, the incumbent Republican superintendent.

[00:16:15] He says, oh, twice as hard to get half as far.

[00:16:18] The guy still won.

[00:16:19] Mo Green still won.

[00:16:21] But he thinks he should have won by more.

[00:16:23] It should have been a blowout.

[00:16:25] It should have been way better of a victory.

[00:16:27] And so what's the reason for that?

[00:16:29] Race.

[00:16:30] Because Isaac Bailey reduces everything to race.

[00:16:34] Here's a message from Russ who says, this op-ed by Isaac Bailey at the McClatchy Papers, Charlotte Observer included, is another in a very long line over several years where they seem to set up a straw man that makes sense to themselves and their narrow circles, but has no basis in reality.

[00:16:57] Talk to different people for my sake.

[00:17:01] Repeat, say.

[00:17:05] Isn't this, this is from Andy who says, isn't the author of this Robinson opinion piece a Davidson professor?

[00:17:12] Oh gosh, is he?

[00:17:14] Well, that's pretty on brand.

[00:17:17] Yeah, that would not surprise me.

[00:17:20] You get, yeah, you get to hold these completely dumbass positions and viewpoints in academia.

[00:17:27] In higher education.

[00:17:28] Where everybody around you hears you say this stupid stuff.

[00:17:32] And they don't know any different or any better.

[00:17:34] And if they do, they're not going to challenge you on it.

[00:17:36] Because that's not what higher education is about anymore.

[00:17:38] You're not supposed to test ideas and stuff.

[00:17:41] Right?

[00:17:41] But unchallenged ideas are easy to hold.

[00:17:44] I've been saying it for 20 years.

[00:17:46] And it seems like we just get stupider.

[00:17:52] Isaac Bailey goes on to state in his column at the Charlotte Observer,

[00:17:57] in his quote, open letter to Mark Robinson.

[00:18:01] Said, you foolishly believed you could pattern yourself after Trump and win.

[00:18:06] You were wrong.

[00:18:09] Spectacularly wrong.

[00:18:11] Okay.

[00:18:12] Does Donald Trump sound like a Baptist preacher to you?

[00:18:17] Anybody who thinks Mark Robinson patterned himself off of Donald Trump and not, say, a Baptist preacher or a preacher.

[00:18:26] Let me know.

[00:18:27] I don't want to just limit it to Baptist preachers because there are a whole bunch of other denominations that he sounds like a preacher.

[00:18:36] That's the stuff.

[00:18:37] I mean, he went to churches for the love of me.

[00:18:40] He went to churches and would deliver sermons.

[00:18:45] And he sounded like he belonged there.

[00:18:49] So, like, I would submit that that's the stuff that made people kind of sort of uncomfortable with him.

[00:18:55] Your crossover, mushy middle moderates, you know, the business Republican crowd, the chamber crowd.

[00:19:03] That's the stuff that made them uncomfortable.

[00:19:05] Talking about, you know, LGBT issues in the way he did.

[00:19:08] Talking about abortion in the way he did.

[00:19:10] And that's the stuff that gave them the ick, as the kids say.

[00:19:16] But this columnist has an inability to discern the delivery styles of and the patterns of Trump versus Robinson.

[00:19:28] Dude, if you can't tell the difference between those two, you should not be writing columns about politics.

[00:19:34] Stick to something else.

[00:19:35] I don't know what his expertise is.

[00:19:36] I don't know what he probably teaches politics.

[00:19:38] Actually, now that I think about it, he probably does.

[00:19:41] If you think that Robinson patterned himself off of Trump, you know nothing about, well, oratory, I guess, but also about Republican politics and conservatism and the religious right.

[00:19:58] Like, there's so many things that you don't know about.

[00:20:01] And that's kind of surprising.

[00:20:04] It's not really, actually, now that I think about it.

[00:20:06] That's kind of like Dunning-Kruger.

[00:20:08] I see this everywhere now.

[00:20:11] Dunning-Kruger.

[00:20:13] You know what that is, right?

[00:20:14] The Dunning-Kruger effect.

[00:20:17] Named after two, you know, researchers.

[00:20:20] And they ran some experiments on, I think it was college kids or something.

[00:20:25] They had them come in and take tests.

[00:20:26] And then they would ask them, how do you think you did?

[00:20:29] And they weren't – the research, the study wasn't really about the topic or the material that they were being tested on.

[00:20:39] They were being tested on whether or not their expectations of how they performed were in line with how they actually performed.

[00:20:48] And so the kids who came out and said, oh, nailed it.

[00:20:53] They did worse than the kids who came out and they were like, oh, I don't think I did very well.

[00:20:59] They actually did better.

[00:21:02] Why is that?

[00:21:03] Why is it that the people who know less think they know more?

[00:21:10] Right?

[00:21:11] That's Dunning-Kruger.

[00:21:13] The people who know less about the material believe they are more confident in their knowledge of the material,

[00:21:20] even though they do not know the material as well as the people who come out and say, I'm not so confident.

[00:21:25] You know why?

[00:21:26] Because the people who actually know the material that they're being tested on,

[00:21:31] they know it enough to know what they don't know.

[00:21:35] Right?

[00:21:36] They have enough understanding of the material that when they are doing the test and they get asked a question that they don't know the answer to,

[00:21:46] they know, oh, I'm not so sure this is the right answer.

[00:21:52] Oh, I don't know that answer.

[00:21:53] And I know all this other stuff about the material, but how come I don't know this answer?

[00:21:57] And so they come out there and they think, oh, man, I know I got a bunch wrong because they know enough of the material.

[00:22:03] The people that don't think they did fantastic, but they didn't.

[00:22:07] That's what this strikes me as.

[00:22:10] He says Trump won the state, which helped him win the presidency.

[00:22:14] Well, I mean, come now, he didn't really need North Carolina after all was said and done.

[00:22:21] He had plenty of other swing states that he took.

[00:22:26] He says, and the people you believed supported you and the once and future president abandoned you while rallying around Trump.

[00:22:36] According to the CNN report that sunk your campaign, you called yourself a black Nazi, among other posts on a pornographic website.

[00:22:45] There's no need to wonder if it was the black or the Nazi part that turned them off.

[00:22:49] They voted for the man who reportedly had an affinity for Adolf Hitler while rejecting you.

[00:22:56] So here's another thing that Professor Dunning-Kruger doesn't get here,

[00:23:00] which is that people don't believe the reports about Trump anymore.

[00:23:07] They don't believe you, media.

[00:23:08] This is yet another example of the repudiation of the legacy media outlets.

[00:23:14] You are not convincing anybody, Mr. Isaac Bailey.

[00:23:18] You're not convincing anybody.

[00:23:19] You're just talking to your echo chamber.

[00:23:22] And while you may draw some sort of, I don't know, limelight or a paycheck off of doing that,

[00:23:28] you're not persuading people in any kind of a grand debate.

[00:23:31] You're not.

[00:23:33] And that's why people, when they read all the stories about Trump, who, by the way,

[00:23:37] said that he never said any of that stuff about idolizing Adolf Hitler or had an affinity for Adolf Hitler.

[00:23:43] See, they don't believe you.

[00:23:45] But with Mark Robinson and Robinson's actions immediately after the story broke, people didn't know.

[00:23:52] And see, that's part of the problem was that Mark Robinson wasn't really known.

[00:23:56] I've said this before.

[00:23:57] He came out of nowhere.

[00:23:59] Right.

[00:23:59] It's not like he worked his way up.

[00:24:01] Well, that's part of the problem that Trump had eight years ago.

[00:24:04] Now people know who Trump is.

[00:24:08] And when stuff came out about Trump and people had to go through all of that, and then, of course, you know,

[00:24:12] they voted him out four years ago.

[00:24:14] But now he's more of a known entity.

[00:24:16] Now he's back.

[00:24:17] So maybe Robinson comes back when people learn more about him and they all that stuff gets baked into the cake.

[00:24:24] And maybe he wins the defamation lawsuit against CNN.

[00:24:26] I don't know.

[00:24:29] But man, like, how do you not understand this stuff?

[00:24:35] Well, because you're in your echo chamber.

[00:24:36] Right.

[00:24:37] Okay.

[00:24:37] Sorry.

[00:24:37] I already answered that.

[00:24:38] Got a message from Bob regarding this columnist, Isaac Bailey.

[00:24:43] Oh, won't you go home?

[00:24:45] He didn't say that.

[00:24:46] I just said that.

[00:24:47] Uh-oh.

[00:24:48] Oh, no.

[00:24:49] Hang on.

[00:24:50] My mouse just died.

[00:24:51] Oh, it's back.

[00:24:52] Okay.

[00:24:52] It's alive.

[00:24:53] Okay.

[00:24:54] Bob says, so this guy says he's glad Robinson lost, but he enjoys blaming North Carolina voters as racist.

[00:25:04] Wants to have it both ways.

[00:25:06] Typical posture of a lefty perpetual victim.

[00:25:12] Yeah.

[00:25:12] This Isaac Robinson column is, oh, you know what I forgot?

[00:25:19] The Zone of Dumb Massery.

[00:25:22] That is my mistake.

[00:25:24] That is my fault.

[00:25:26] I apologize.

[00:25:27] I should have recognized that we were in the Zone of Dumb Massery way earlier than just now.

[00:25:35] My apologies.

[00:25:37] Sorry.

[00:25:38] We are firmly ensconced in the Zone right now, and have been, as we have read through this ridiculous column written by a ridiculous person,

[00:25:49] who, let me double check here.

[00:25:52] I think I have a follow-up regarding, yeah.

[00:26:00] Davidson College professor of practice.

[00:26:08] A Harvard Neiman fellow.

[00:26:10] Oh, he went to Harvard.

[00:26:12] That explains so much.

[00:26:13] That actually explains so much.

[00:26:20] He's writing about Mark Robinson, and in case you are just joining us, the recap here is that Robinson lost because he's black,

[00:26:29] and Republicans should not have voted for him because he's terrible, but also when they voted against him, they're racist.

[00:26:39] He goes on to say here that the excuse will be that he served in office before, that he has experience.

[00:26:48] Meaning why Republicans would vote for Donald Trump again, which need I remind people that Donald Trump made significant gains among, like, every single demographic.

[00:27:02] Every single state that Trump won.

[00:27:05] In fact, I think it's like in every state, period.

[00:27:09] Shifted right.

[00:27:10] Shifted red.

[00:27:11] Not that he carried every state, but that Republicans did better.

[00:27:17] Trump did better.

[00:27:18] Like, across the board.

[00:27:21] He won a majority of, like, Hispanic men.

[00:27:26] He made huge gains in black men demographics.

[00:27:31] Like, you cannot attribute this to race.

[00:27:37] Donald Trump is a candidate that we have never seen and probably won't ever see again for a very, very long time.

[00:27:45] The guy enjoys a position in the culture and has for my entire life.

[00:27:54] I mean, ever since I was a kid, I knew who Donald Trump was.

[00:27:57] The guy's in more rap songs than, like, anybody else ever.

[00:28:01] That was before he was president.

[00:28:04] And I'm not even counting those stupid Democrat ads that they put out with the Hollywood people crying and singing.

[00:28:12] So he's now, you know, strawmanning this argument that, oh, the excuse will be that Trump served in office before, so he's got experience.

[00:28:19] But you're in office right now.

[00:28:22] By the way, here's another consideration for you, Harvard Neiman fellow and Davidson College professor Isaac Bailey.

[00:28:33] Is it possible that Josh Stein was a better candidate than Harris?

[00:28:39] Is that possible?

[00:28:40] Is it possible that the white guy for governor got more votes than the black woman for president?

[00:28:46] Is that possible?

[00:28:47] Could it be that Democrats voted racialized votes, too?

[00:28:52] Or is that just something that the Republicans do when they cross over and voted for Stein?

[00:28:57] Is that what I'm to believe?

[00:28:58] What exactly is your argument here?

[00:29:01] Care to make it against Democrats?

[00:29:03] Because I think you probably got a better case to make against Democrats.

[00:29:07] Because Stein won and Harris lost.

[00:29:10] How does that happen?

[00:29:13] He says, you've been pretending the country isn't what it clearly is.

[00:29:17] This should be a wake-up call, not only for you, but every black man who decided to follow in Trump's footsteps.

[00:29:22] They, too, will be rejected when Trump loyalists no longer have use for them.

[00:29:26] If that doesn't do it, maybe this will.

[00:29:28] They won't be storming the North Carolina capital for you.

[00:29:34] Once again.

[00:29:37] The zone of dumb assery.

[00:29:41] We are now exiting.
