Charlamagne tha God Advises Benny Johnson to Seek Therapy, Citing ‘Insecurity’ for Erasing Minorities’ Contributions to America

TRANSCRIPT:

CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: "If your version of patriotism requires deleting people’s contributions because acknowledging them makes you uncomfortable, that’s not patriotism. That’s insecurity. And a good therapist is going to always tell you to address your insecurities, Benny. Okay? Explore their root causes so you can replace harsh self-critical thoughts with healthier emotional patterns. Okay? Listen, Benny and, you know, everybody out there that feels like him, America is a complicated story. The Founders, I guess, deserve recognition, but so do the soldiers and the immigrants and the farmers and the factory workers, the Native Americans, the enslaved Africans, and yes, black women, okay, because countries are not built by politicians alone, all right? They’re built by millions of people whose names never make history books, even though there are black women’s name in these history books who helped to build this country. So, Benny, a nation's foundation isn’t just the people who sign the papers. It's also the people whose labor made the nation possible."
