Louis CK - Being White

  • 0:00 - 0:04
    Sorry I'm being so negative.
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    I guess I'm a bummer, I don't know...
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    I shouldn't be, I'm a very, uh, you know, lucky guy.
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    I got a lot going for me,
    I'm healthy, I'm relatively young, I'm white,
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    which, thank God for that shit, boy!
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    That is a HUGE leg up, are you kidding me?
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    Oh, God I love being white.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    I really do. Seriously if you're not white,
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    you are missing out, because this shit,
  • 0:22 - 0:29
    is thoroughly good...But let me be clear, by the way.
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    I'm not saying white people are better,
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    I'm saying that being white is CLEARLY better!
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    Who could even argue?
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    If it was an option, I would re-up every year.
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    "Oh, yeah, I'll take 'white' again, absolutely.
  • 0:41 - 0:46
    I've been enjoying that, I'm going to stick with white, thank you."
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    Here's how great it is to be white,
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    I could get in a time machine, and go to any time,
  • 0:51 - 0:57
    and it would be fucking AWESOME when I get there!
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    That is exclusively a white privilege.
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    Black people can't fuck with time machines.
  • 1:06 - 1:07
    A black guy in a time machine is like,
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    "Hey, anything before 1980, no, thank you.
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    I don't want to go."
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    But I can go to any time!
  • 1:14 - 1:16
    The year... 2?! I don't even know what was happening
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    then, but I know when I get there,
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    "Welcome, we have a table right here for you, sir."
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    "Thanks, Thank you.
    Ah, it's lovely here in the Year 2."
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    I can go to any time...in the past...
  • 1:31 - 1:32
    I don't want to go to the future and find out what
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    happens to white people. Because, we're gonna
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    pay hard for this shit, you got to know that.
  • 1:37 - 1:41
    We're not just gonna fall from number 1 to 2,
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    They're gonna hold us down and fuck
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    us in the ass forever.
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    And we totally deserve it. But for now,
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    Whee!
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    Now, if you're white, and you don't admit
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    that it's great... you're an asshole!
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    It is great, and I'm a man, how many
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    advantages can one person have?
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    I'm a white man, you... you can't even hurt
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    my feelings.
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    What can you really call a white man that really digs deep?
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    "Hey, cracker!"
  • 2:15 - 2:19
    "Ugh, ruined my day. Boy, shouldn't have
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    called me a cracker. Bringing me back to
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    owning land and people. What a drag!"
