Starting point is 00:01:38 What's new Michael knows? There is no more dangerous holiday for white people than Halloween. Reporting live for black TV. White folks are dead and we get the fuck out of here. That has at least been true for the last 10 years or so. If a white guy or gal did anything, you know, wore a sombrere or something, they could lose their job. be kicked out of school. It's very, because if you wear the costume of someone else's cultures, you've culturally appropriated.
Starting point is 00:02:10 If you don't wear the costume of someone else's culture, you've culturally erased. Anything you did. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. So I, as a passably white person, will try to help guide us through what white people are and are not allowed to do on Halloween, according to the great wisdom of TikTok. Good morning. This is just your daily reminder. I know Halloween is coming up.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Everybody's going to start having costume parties. If you're going to do sugar school makeup, Katrina makeup, please be respectful. Diad de los Mueros is not Halloween at all. Your intellect is as weak as your dull. It is not a costume. You are not supposed to do the makeup or the costume at all in any way, scary, bloody. none of that. Please do your research. Educate yourself.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Our culture is not a costume. Diad de los Mueros has celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries, but particularly in Mexico. And it is a celebration to honor those that have passed. Shut up. And I'm not going to do a huge lesson on what it is, but I'm just telling you, a lot of people start, they think they're just doing the makeup or whatever. It's giving mocking and it's offensive.
Starting point is 00:03:33 So please be respectful if you do plan on doing that. You are made of stupid. Dia de los Mueros. That's Day of the Dead. Is that Halloween? Does that go together with Halloween? That's not even a Halloween thing. It says you're not allowed.
Starting point is 00:03:48 But anyway, Day of the Dead is a pagan practice. It's like a pagan occult practice that should be actively suppressed by society and government. It's just very bad. He wanted you to have it. this. I... Very... So you shouldn't... I agree with her, actually. White people and all... And other people should not dress up for Day of the Dead because they shouldn't observe it
Starting point is 00:04:14 because it's very evil. You shouldn't do that. Okay. That was easy. Next one. Here are some more Halloween costumes that I don't want to see this year. Except this time, it is cultural appropriation. First up is the Native American woman or Native American princess. Next is anything Day of the Dead themed. The Day of the Dead themed.
Starting point is 00:04:34 is a separate holiday. And although it is close to Halloween, it celebrates something completely different. Next is anything like this, or like this, or like this. Some girls at my school were sushi rolls one year. It was actually really cute. They had like pillows. Oh, and this. Um, the drunken Mexican stereotype. Men or woman. The Bollywood. And then the last one is this Maui costume. Now I don't have an issue with anyone wanting to be Maui. Hawaiians, if you do, please inform me. I just don't know. But my issue is with this costume specifically,
Starting point is 00:05:12 because it is inflatable and gives the child a dark skin tone. Thank you. So you can dress up like someone with a dark skin tone who doesn't wear a shirt, but you can't have a dark skin tone. And you can't, I guess the character is like fat, so it can't be inflatable. So what's the, that's kind of weird though, isn't it? Like I get some people say, you're not allowed. to darken your skin to portray a particular character. And I think that's silly, but okay, that's,
Starting point is 00:05:42 but you're still allowed to train your character. The whole thing is you were pretending to be like that person. So you're allowed to be like that person in all things, but their appearance? I don't know. I don't really get that. Can a white guy play a non-white character at a party or in a movie or in a play or not? Everybody knows you never go full retard. What do you mean? If so, then you got to go all the way. If not, I don't. That gal says. seems like, you know, very, very nice young gal, a little bit confused, obviously. Weird that there's this focus on Day of the Dead. No one should be doing any Day of the Dead stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:17 The other one that was weird, why can't you dress up like a hot Indian? I get some of them are offensive or depicting kind of negative aspects of a culture, like, you know, drunk Mexicans or something like that. So they'd say, well, don't depict a negative aspect of a culture. But for the Indian one, it was just like a really hot lady looking elegant and beautiful. And why can't you do that? just around the river there. Drop you're saying you're only allowed to dress up in Western clothing,
Starting point is 00:06:55 which is cultural erasure, I thought, I was told. Okay, very, very confused by that one. Next one. Hold on one second. Go to balance of nature.com. Use promo code noles. I think we all know that we should be eating more fruits and vegetables. And me, my diet is mostly, it's about 40% caffeine.

So let's talk about what costumes are unacceptable and offensive. As a general rule, dressing up as another culture or race is offensive and often racist. This includes wearing Afro or dreadlock wigs, Native American headdresses, kimono, sombreros, etc. Other people's cultures are not costumes.
Starting point is 00:08:43 They are not fancy dress. Another notably offensive costume, dressing as a terrorist. Terrorist costumes often have very racist stereotypes of what a terrorist looks like. It's not funny. It's boring. Be more creative. Halloween is obviously supposed to be fun, and people wearing costumes like these means that not everyone gets to enjoy Halloween. Yeah, we don't want to offend the terrorists. So make sure you don't offend any terrorists.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Silence! The silliest part of this argument actually has nothing to do with the costumes. It's when she goes, you know, it's not funny, it's boring. It's boring. Because that's so disingenuous. That's so insincere. If your objection to someone's costume is that it's boring, then okay, that's fine. You don't need to be entertained by my costume.
Starting point is 00:09:31 My costume is not here for your I mean as I'm deeply offended by this. I don't want you to do it. And you better stop. But they're affecting this kind of millennial irony and disinterest and detachment. It's just kind of boring. It's like when the libs, when you argue about any political issue that they don't have a good answer on, notably transgenderism is an extreme example of this. And they say, well, look, I just don't care.
Starting point is 00:09:58 I just don't care. I just don't care. Good. You don't care. I do care. So let's do it my way. Because you don't care. So why do you even care about like marriage, right?
Starting point is 00:10:07 We want to have like normal marriage and not abolish marriage and the law and redefine it all sorts of ways. It's just like, I don't even care. Why do you even care? Oh, good. I'm glad you don't care. Oh, you find it boring and you don't. care and you're too cool for school. Great. That's good because I care and I find it really interesting. So let's do it my way then if you really don't care. Oh, but you do care and you find it
Starting point is 00:10:26 very interesting and you don't find it more in your way. You know I actually, wow, how did I miss it? I did even after my in-depth investigation. She has the sign. I should have known from the moment her first frame appeared on screen. This was not going to go well. Just a reminder to everyone that being a gypsy for Halloween is cultural appropriation, so don't do it. See it every year for Halloween and I know you girls want to look cute with little coin belts and everything like that, but don't do it. I love this video because she's saying you're not allowed to dress up like a gypsy because that's offensive to gypsies.
Starting point is 00:11:01 A gypsy? But she still uses the word gypsy, which we are also told as offensive to gypsies. You're supposed to call them Rome people or Roma people. That's like the new term. You're not allowed to say gypsy. Gypsy is apparently a racial slur. Gypsy! So don't say gypsy.
Starting point is 00:11:19 But anyway, she doesn't know that. She's like woke enough to tell people not to dress up like gypsies, but not woke enough to know, know the present status of the word gypsy. That's cute. I like that. I like that. That's nice. Gypsy.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Next one. I've compiled a list of men's Halloween costumes that I think are red flags so that you ladies can protect yourselves this year because knowledge is power. Starting off with a very popular one, a prisoner. He has a bland personality. He's lazy and boring. He'll never buy you flowers or take you out to dinner. His idea of a date is watching a movie in his bed.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Next, we have an angel. He's definitely f***, but the extra cringy type. He wears wife beaters and spends his free time making thirst traps to post on TikTok. Okay, this next one is probably going to be the most popular one this year. Ken. Any guy who does Ken this year who's not with his Barbie girlfriend is a pick-me boy. I love the Barbie movie so much. It's so empowering.
Starting point is 00:12:10 My mom is my hero. He winds and f*** all the time. He'll definitely complain about an ex who broke his heart and now he's such a good guy. And I bet 20 bucks that he cheats on you and then blames. her. I like this girl. She doesn't understand the Barbie movie, but I like her attitude. A male staple for many years, but he's kind of a... He'll definitely fat shame you if you weigh over 100 pounds. He only seeks out solid tens, but he's like a six at best, and then a four when he opens his mouth. Police officer, he's kind of a perv. Duh, a cowboy. This can go one of two ways. He's
Starting point is 00:12:42 either the normal type, or he's the shirtless type. Now, if he's shirtless, he is a but the type with the American flag above his bed, and he definitely peaked in high school. This next one, it is all I saw last year. Peaky blinders. This costume seems fine at first glance, and that's why it's one of the most dangerous ones. If you do so much as make eye contact with one of these guys, they will somehow wiggle their way into your life and definitely become your next toxic boyfriend. Last and probably not least, top gun.
Starting point is 00:13:08 This costume's actually fine. I'm just really bored and tired of it. I tell my ladies out there, I sincerely hope you take this information to heart and dodge any guys. costumes. And I hope you stay safe from stupid, stupid boys this Halloween. I say, I like her. I like her. I like her attitude. She, she's wrong about certain things. Like, I'm not saying I agree with her analysis on it. Even she's saying the guys who dress up like Ken, I assume this is probably the but the guys who dress up like Ken, they're picnies. They're trying to appeal to your feminism, but don't believe them. Don't believe the male feminists. I totally agree with that. She's
Starting point is 00:13:42 totally right about that. She just hold on for one second. She misunderstands why Barbie's a great movie because it's actually really based in Tradd and Greta Gerwig is one of the great directors of our generation. And as I've said, Greta Gerwig is essentially an icon of social left-wing thinking. That's not the point. I like her. I like her take. She's, she's hip. She's cool. This is, that was a palate cleanser after the other videos. It is almost Halloween, and this is your daily reminder not to wear any of this, this, this, because it's not appreciating. It's appropriating. Hold on a second. That lady, who is of some kind of generally swarthy variety, she's wearing, appears to be an Oxford shirt.
Starting point is 00:14:32 That doesn't appear to be from the Taino, the traditional dress of the Taino people, or I don't know, I don't actually know her ethnic background. That looks downright British. Is she appropriating? My, half my culture is not your culture. Spoken like man. You don't... We're only talking about wearing clothes like that like one day a year.
Starting point is 00:14:58 You can't do that. Maybe I'll make a video about what other kinds of people can't wear the rest of the year. Would that be good? That'd be good. That'd be a tonal shift for the channel. Okay.
