As you gazed upon the two lesbian mothers in the kids\u2019 show \u201cYoung Jedi Adventures,\u201d or the nonbinary Jedi in \u201cTales of the Empire,\u201d or the gay kisses in \u201cLightyear\u201d and \u201cRise of Skywalker,\u201d or the communist lesbian witches in \u201cThe Acolyte,\u201d or the prominent trans character in \u201cBaymax,\u201d or the nonbinary \u201cLake\u201d character in \u201cElemental,\u201d or the gay moment in \u201cEndgame,\u201d or the purple gay cyclops police officer in \u201cOnward,\u201d or the first-ever biracial gay cartoon character in \u201cStrange World,\u201d you may have caught yourself thinking: What the hell is going on inside this company, if this is what they\u2019re producing as entertainment for tens of millions of people? How dysfunctional are the inner workings of Disney, if they\u2019re so fixated on sexuality and race that they have to ram so-called \u201cmarginalized\u201d identities into every orifice of their films and streaming shows? What would it be like to actually work at a place like this?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We don\u2019t have to ask those questions anymore. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yesterday, James O\u2019Keefe \u2014 formerly the head of Project Veritas, and now the CEO of O.M.G. media \u2014 provided an exclusive window into the inner workings of Disney. One of O\u2019Keefe\u2019s undercover operatives recorded an intimate conversation with a senior vice president at the company named Michael Giordano. And it\u2019s simultaneously an incredibly shocking piece of footage, as well as everything you\u2019d expect it to be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In this clip, Giordano appears to admit, on multiple occasions, that Disney discriminates against job applicants on the basis of their skin color and gender. According to Giordano, the company will look at a white man and decide, because of immutable characteristics that he can\u2019t control, that he\u2019s disqualified from employment. In fact, on at least one occasion, this executive says that Disney higher-ups disqualified a half-black applicant because he didn\u2019t look black enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I\u2019ll provide the usual Disclaimer here that I haven\u2019t personally seen all of O\u2019Keefe\u2019s unedited footage. But here\u2019s some of what O\u2019Keefe aired. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"001 Hiring white male nope\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ors-Ifiy8Ho?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span>When civil rights laws were first passed \u2014 laws that mandated that businesses stop discriminating on the basis of race \u2014 there were quite a few businesses in this country that had to close. In some cases, the owners simply didn\u2019t want to serve black customers or hire black employees. In other cases, the business did attempt to integrate, but their clientele wouldn\u2019t stand for it. They wanted to see certain races excluded from the whole operation, and when that was no longer allowed, they stopped patronizing the business entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After watching this footage, for the first time, it\u2019s not hard to see how a major entertainment juggernaut like Disney could some day meet the same fate as all those businesses that crumbled in the aftermath of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-snaps-at-civil-rights-leaders-in-leaked-call\/\" title=\"Biden Snaps at Civil Rights Leaders in Leaked Call\">civil rights movement<\/a>. If what this executive is saying is true, then there\u2019s a very strong case to be made that Disney is flagrantly and systematically violating civil rights law. In this country, in pretty much every case, businesses are not allowed to deny employment on the basis of race or gender. Race or gender can\u2019t even be one of the reasons why an employee is promoted or rejected, or hired or fired. And Michael Giordano appears to realize that, which is why he says on tape that Disney is likely to face a massive lawsuit in the near future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Will the law actually be enforced against Disney? That remains to be seen. We all know that, for the most part, civil rights law works in one direction. It\u2019s rare \u2014 though certainly not unheard of \u2014 for white plaintiffs to successfully sue for workplace discrimination. But in this case, there\u2019s a Disney executive saying explicitly on tape that, in his estimation, the company discriminates on the basis of race or gender. And as of now, the only response from Disney has been that Michael Giordano has taken down his LinkedIn page. They haven\u2019t put out any kind of explanation for why one of their senior executives would say that the company is systematically discriminating against white people. Of course, from internal Disney footage previously released by Chris Rufo, we know that Disney executives generally want to advance a culture of \u201cracial equity\u201d and so on. So it\u2019s not exactly a stretch to assume they\u2019re on board with this, at the highest levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1392-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>This is a very big problem for Disney. And it only gets worse when you look closely at the content they\u2019re putting out lately. It certainly seems to back up everything this executive says, which is that Disney is a weirdly race-obsessed (and anti-white) corporation. When I last spoke about Disney\u2019s brand collapse a few weeks ago, I hadn\u2019t seen any footage from \u201cThe Acolyte\u201d because it wasn\u2019t available yet. But now that the show is out, and several episodes are available on-demand, there really is no way to sugarcoat this: Disney has produced a show that\u2019s so bad, in every way, that it\u2019s unwatchable. It has a 14% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes for the same reason it has an 85% Critics\u2019 Score. This show is propaganda that\u2019s written for activists \u2014 people who care only about \u201crepresentation\u201d and \u201cfeeling seen\u201d \u2014 not people who actually want good entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I won\u2019t go through a ton of scenes from this show because several other YouTube channels have already done so. \u201cThe Critical Drinker\u201d on YouTube is maybe the single most effective critic of the plotting and characterization of this garbage show, in case you\u2019re interested in that. Instead, I\u2019ll show you a few clips of some of the worst scenes \u2014 the ones that highlight the extent to which identity politics now consumes Disney. The scenes include a shackled white Jedi killing himself because of his guilt, a reference to another characters\u2019 pronouns, and a lesbian cult\u2019s chant that has all the gravitas of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/macho-fails-to-move\/\" title=\"\u2018Macho\u2019 Fails To Move\">high school play<\/a>. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"002 Woke film clips\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yXrYD9Dk3mg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span>I\u2019ll admit I\u2019m not up on my \u201cStar Wars\u201d lore. I\u2019m not exactly an expert on the \u201ccanon.\u201d But as I understand it, this stuff is not exactly consistent with the original vision for \u201cStar Wars.\u201d Basically, \u201cThe Acolyte\u201d advances the idea that lesbian space witches are capable of conceiving a child with dark magic. But previously, in \u201cStar Wars\u201d canon, Anakin (who eventually becomes Darth Vader) was immaculately born through the Force. Which is a fact about \u201cStar Wars\u201d mythology that I just learned as I was preparing this monologue. It feels vaguely sacrilegious, to be honest, but anyway that\u2019s apparently what made him special and unique. Except that now the lesbian space witches are doing it willy-nilly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Not that this will surprise anyone, but I don\u2019t personally care about this show \u201cbreaking\u201d \u201cStar Wars\u201d lore. At the same time, I can understand how this whole debacle is frustrating to \u201cStar Wars\u201d fans. Disney continues to pilfer and mutilate its own intellectual property for the sake of \u201cupdating\u201d it and making it progressive and feminist. Whatever made a pre-existing white male character special or interesting now needs to be undone, essentially \u2014 even if it completely upends the established narrative that people are supposed to become invested in. These people are not artists. They are activists. They view everything they do in the context of being brave resistance fighters against their white oppressors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We don\u2019t really have to guess about this. Listen to Disney\u2019s own employees, and they\u2019ll tell you. I\u2019m not just talking about the vice president in O\u2019Keefe\u2019s video. The lead actress in \u201cThe Acolyte,\u201d Amandla Stenberg, has just responded to the poor audience reviews of her show \u2014 as well as her unearthed viral interview with Trevor Noah about wanting to make white people \u201ccry\u201d \u2014 with some kind of bizarre song doubling down on her hatred of white people and men. She posted this music video on her Instagram to celebrate \u201cJuneteenth.\u201d Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"003 Discourse\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vNYdL--zG2I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span>Now if you can somehow get past just how truly godawful the song is from an artistic perspective, the message is even worse. This wealthy, famous actress is the victim, and you the audience member \u2014 who just wants to watch a good \u201cStar Wars\u201d show \u2014 is the oppressor, because you\u2019re downvoting her on Rotten Tomatoes. So she won\u2019t \u201cF\u2014 with your discourse\u201d and your \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But it\u2019s not misinformation, and to demonstrate that, it\u2019s worth analyzing what Stenberg says about her interview with Trevor Noah. She claims in this music video that her Trevor Noah interview is being taken out of context. She says she really just wants white people to feel the same empathy that other audience members were feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Of course, already, she\u2019s saying that white people \u2014 solely by virtue of their skin color \u2014 lack empathy. And yes that\u2019s an explicitly anti-white statement. But if you put that aside for a second, and watch a longer clip of her interview, you\u2019ll see that she\u2019s not even really upset that white people supposedly lack empathy. Instead, she\u2019s upset that they don\u2019t buy the media\u2019s false narratives about black victimhood. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"004 Code switching\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mkmiX6O4zBY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span>So in context, this footage is actually a lot more damning than the short viral clip where she says that she wants to see white people crying. What Stenberg is saying is that white people need to accept the media narrative that black people are murdered by police all the time, even when they do nothing wrong. Even when black people do everything right at traffic stops, they\u2019re gunned down by all those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-inspires-black-graduates-by-telling-them-that-democracy-is-dead-and-white-people-are-out-to-kill-them\/\" title=\"Biden Encourages Black Graduates with a Message of Resilience Amidst Challenges\">white supremacist police officers<\/a>. That\u2019s what she\u2019s saying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In order to think that, you\u2019d have to be completely ignorant of the statistics on police use of force, as well as wildly misinformed about the handful of high-profile incidents where the police have actually shot black suspects during traffic stops. But according to Stenberg, unless you agree with her on this point \u2014 as false as it is \u2014 then you lack empathy, like so many other vile white people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This is apparently the only response we\u2019re going to get from Disney and the media about the disaster that is \u201cThe Acolyte,\u201d or their race-obsessed company culture. They\u2019re just going to continue to attack their own fans for being racist and ignorant and misogynistic. And they have some support in the media for that position. A black supremacist website called The Root, for example, just published an article blaming the low audience scores on \u201cracism and misogyny.\u201d Kathleen Kennedy at Lucasfilm has already said the fans are misogynists. And now the lead actress is saying that she\u2019s oppressed by all these horrible bigots who misunderstood her when she said she wants white people to cry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In reality, all she\u2019s really proven with the song is that her artistic mediocrity extends into multiple mediums. To be clear, the only person that Amandla Stenberg has to blame is herself. She\u2019s the one who read these idiotic scripts \u2014 with the fires burning in space and the emasculated Jedi and the space lesbians \u2014 and decided to appear in this film. And she\u2019s the one who decided to give this interview where she acted like a child, talking about how gay \u201cStar Wars\u201d is. I played this clip before, but it\u2019s worth repeating because future business school classes will study this footage to learn how quickly a brand can destroy itself.
