They say that every state has its own version of blasphemy laws, and in America, our blasphemy laws are doing literally anything at any point that may offend the sensibilities of women and minorities. So if you do that at any scale, you deny something like blank slate theory, you recite basic facts about the issues these people claim to care so much about, whatever it may be, they will look at you the same way that people living under the great Christian kings of days past would look at someone for denying the divinity of Christ. In terms of the consequences for this blasphemy, there are of course severe social and professional consequences that I would argue are just as strong as any legal consequences. And in fact, the only reason there aren't legal consequences, at least not yet, is to allow this whole kind of system to maintain some kind of plausible deniability. And so this being the case, if a group of white girls comes home drunk from the bar and they make a bunch of monkey noises at a bunch of different doors, one door just so happens to have black people behind it, those girls are going to have their lives ruined because again, they have offended the deeply held religious beliefs of American society, which is that we worship the sensibilities of women and minorities. So we are going to dissect all of that. Then we answer your questions about everything from Palantir to career choices to dumb people I've debated, demoralization. Wow. Do stay tuned.

Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The John Doyle Show. So we have yet another incident of insane reactions to what otherwise is pretty trivial behavior centered around what you could do, which is the worst possible thing ever in the modern world, which is, of course, being possibly slightly in a position where one could be perceived as being possibly slightly racist. This is, of course, the worst thing ever. And on November 6th, it was nighttime, a couple of white girls from Ole Miss walked past a ring door camera, and they were recorded making monkey noises and gestures at said door.

The room happened to be occupied by three black freshmen, women. They uploaded the clip to TikTok saying, Ole Miss, what do we have to say about this? And we can now play the clip for you.

So, yeah, that is, you know, she made monkey noises at a door, and apparently they had done this to like four other doors and meant absolutely nothing by this. They've just been going door to door on their walk home from the bar, making monkey noises doesn't really mean a whole lot. If you're white, you know, I guess I'll have to speak on behalf of the white people here. Sometimes making monkey noises is fun, you know, when you're drunk, especially when you're a drunk woman, you want to make a lot of noise, you want to get a lot of attention, and a really easy way to do this is to make monkey noises. And some people get really into it. I have a friend who can actually go species by species. I myself prefer maybe the more classic monkey noises, you know, you could do like, ooh, ah, ah, you could get louder and you know, just like, like that kind of stuff. You really just like beat on your chest. You just go bananas. You literally go bananas. When I was at spring break, high school senior year, we had the entire Funky Kong soundboard from Mario Kart Wii memorized, you know, Funky Kong. Remember, that guy, dude, we're just being as obnoxious as like conceivable, literally because it's just funny to make monkey noises. And in this incident, remember, they are just throwing the monkey noises out to the world. Nobody made the connection that they are necessarily being associated with people descended from West Africa. It was only the black women who heard the monkey noises and made the connection and assumed that it was somehow some kind of attack against them, which I would argue is the real instance of racism in this entire situation. But right after this occurred, two of the black women went outside and they confronted the girls. And one of them, Elena, immediately apologized, like profusely understanding, wow, I'm so sorry to have offended you. I'm just being a drunk retard. But the other girl, Lauren, I guess, continued to make monkey noises during the other's apology. Now, this has gone viral and been shown everywhere. News stories written all about it. And Elena has apologized, again, very publicly. And she's actually withdrawn from the university. Lauren, however, has not bent the knee on this. And she has a Give, Send, Go campaign sitting at about $100,000 right now. And you might ask, well, what are they being compensated for? Well, we also have an example of the kinds of death threats that they are currently receiving for having made silly monkey noises.
