Brandon Tatum re: white guilt

Brandon is a former police officer, YouTuber, and pundit who occasionally appears on cable news

* I don't agree with all of Brandon's views (he dismisses white privilege at a systematic level in one video, which I think is absurd and naive), but I do in this case.

This doesn't necessarily pertain to this topic, but one thing about Brandon that's important to note is he played football at Univ. of Arizona on a full scholarship (he mentions blacks and whites playing football together in this video). As someone who's played team sports for a lifetime, almost universally, athletes are less concerned about racism and have better insight about race than non-athletes. The reason is athletics, especially at a high level, are the closest thing we have to a true meritocracy. In all other pursuits and professions, there are elements of identity politics that influence relationships, perspectives, and success. Rarely will you hear professional athletes complaining about racism or oppression, or talking about it at all. The NFL players protesting the anthem/flag are a very, very small minority, and the Donald Sterling fiasco is an anomaly as well. In team sports, you learn from an early age you need to get along with everyone to succeed as a group, and that there are no excuses for being less successful than others on an individual level, because your performance is measurable and results are all that matters. Whether publicly or privately, I think active or former athletes are more politically conservative than the average American. In football this is almost always the case because most players are country boys and practicing Christians. You'll notice most SJWs are over-intellectualized, ineffectual dorks who look like they've never picked up a ball or entered a gym (that's not to say education/intelligence isn't important, but common sense is more important). At UC-Berkeley, which is about as far left as you're gonna get, I doubt you're gonna see members of the football team or the women's basketball team at a protest (well, maybe you'll see some of the women's basketball players at an LGBTQ+ rally lol, which is all good). I'll finish by saying this: almost all of the guys I played football, basketball, and baseball with in HS, and baseball in college, whether white, black, Latino, Asian, etc. NEVER had a dispute about race, privilege, gender, sexual orientation, politics, etc., on the field/court or off. We were too busy working hard and having fun and learning from one another. We loved guns, hunting, fishing, beer, women, and America, all elements of what the leftists consider toxic masculinity. Peace and Buddha be with you.
