Review of Daily Inspiration - I used to like you but not anymore

I used to like you but not anymore

☆

“I used to like you Mr Harvey. Before I dish out the negative, I’d like to start with the positive. Thank you for all the positive things you’ve said. About not giving up and about every living soul on the planet having value. About how mistakes shouldn’t be something that puts you down for the count for the rest of your life and that you can likely beat the odds no matter how grim they are. I truly thought God was speaking through. It’s talking like that which recently got me through my final exams. I’m awaiting my results but I’m grateful for the positivity I received from you. Now for the negative. I respect the fact that it’s your show and you’ll do as you please. I also respect that you do more than just give positive speeches. All due respect, I only come for the positive speeches so I’ve only subscribed to your part of the show called Daily Inspiration. I don’t mean to be rude but I don’t really appreciate your take on politics being put in Daily Inspiration. Don’t you have that in other parts of the show? How is that supposed to help me enrich my life, become successful or improve relationships? Am I supposed to follow the same agenda as you? More on that later. There has been a nasty mindset going around, predicated on the notion that if you’re straight, white, male or all of the above, you’re some kind of oppressor unless you make an effort to redeem yourself by supporting this agenda. It’s by was it’s peak at the time of the 2016 election but it still lingers. I’m a straight black male. I don’t owe any concessions or apologies to anyone simply because I’m straight or male, and no one inherently owes me an apology just because I’m black. This has lead to a lot of virtue signaling. “And what has this got to do with me?” you may ask? I’m referring to your Daily Inspiration where you brought up reparations. My race should neither validate nor hinder my opinion, but you are sorely mistaken. No one should be made to atone for something they didn’t personally do or support. How would you feel if white people demanded reparations for the Barbary slave trade in which white people were slaves? Do you think you should have to pay for reparations towards that? Look at the violence and riots that took place at the time of the 2016 election. Do you think we should be held responsible even though we didn’t have anything to do with it? When 4 black suspects kidnapped young white man and scratched up his face for the sake of their hatred of Trump, not even knowing if the guy supported him or not. By the way, there have been white people who died for civil rights too. If you want everything about color, don’t they matter? What about Jews? They’ve had a tough time throughout history, and anti-semitism is still lurking on both sides of the political divide. Some people think it’s justified because of this “straight white male” agenda, which was why the women’s march had a negative stigma. Who should be paying them? If you keep demanding an eye for an eye, at what point does everyone end up blind? There was support for segregation when Harvard announced its first black only graduation ceremony. You always said that we shouldn’t be playing the “Oh woe is me” card, so of all the people who would now be supporting stuff like this, I never thought you’d be one of them. I don’t see how any of this is supposed to help put me on track to being a better person. Maybe you don’t care about what I have to say. You put this on a forum that allows me to give feedback so I’ll do it anyway. Maybe like a lot of the other people who have adopted this mindset, you’ll just dismiss me. But it’s sad to hear you going down this road. I hope I’m wrong about you. Edit: I’ve returned. I’d like to say you’ve gotten better but you haven’t really. I agree with everything you said in your commentary but the reason why it appears that comedians can’t get away with saying what they want but the president can as you put it is because thanks to social media, reviews and people voting with their wallets and boycotting people comedians, it’s pretty easy to take down a comedian straight away as opposed to having to wait for the next election as you would with the president. You also seem to be acting as if no one ever holds what the president says against him. Lots of people do. You certainly do. And if you did your homework you would have realised that quite a lot of the people who hate Trump such as feminists and Social Justice warriors are in the same group as the people who wanted Dave Chappelle boycotted. You’re clearly twisting his dilemma to suit your own “I hate Trump” agenda which seems to pretty much be how politics is run nowadays. I didn’t vote for him but I’m sure you don’t care. That’s ok because I’m not listening to you again.”
