Former BLM activist Xaviaer DuRousseau marched in the George Floyd protests and preached the importance of being a “woke ally” until he stumbled onto PragerU videos. He set out to debunk them, but instead, he “accidentally red-pilled” himself and transformed from a lost, angry young man into a calm and confident voice for the conservative movement.

I also grew up in a small farming town in Central Illinois. I was a white kid, but we never knew anything about race, despite being predominantly white. It was simply that black people didn't move to small towns apparently. But then, in High school, a black kid moved to our town. He was one of the most popular kids in school. He and his family were embraced by the community. Thanks for telling your story Xaviaer! I wish more would do the same. If we all embrace our differences as positive things, life will be much more interesting and fulfilling.
Same in my small farming town.
The dude became class president in the first year he attended our school.
Same in my small town. We had about 3-4 black kids in our high school, and they were all very popular and accepted.
Same in my small (1200 people) Illinois farming town. 1 black guy. Was loved and popular. Honestly I didn't even know about race. We never even talked about it then. (90s). This is just me looking back and remembering a life where race was not even thought about in my head. It had no meaning.
I am intrigued by your notion that there may be inherent differences between individuals classified as "Black" and other groups. Are these distinctions a result of their skin color, or are they related to their morals and values? I sincerely hope that it is not based on skin color as you stated. While it is important to be inclusive and accepting of diverse morals and values, we must also be mindful of the potential risks associated with doing so.
It is crucial to exercise prudence when determining who we welcome into our society, as some individuals may have malicious intentions or seek to undermine our values. This is particularly important in cases where children may be susceptible to harmful influences or exploitation. Therefore, exercising vigilance and discernment when integrating individuals into our communities is essential to safeguard against potential threats.
@@WilliamEllison Your reply comes under my comment, but I'm not sure who you are addressing. But I will answer as if you are responding to me. There ARE differences if only culturally between black people and white people and others. In some sense, that's what Xaviaer learned to understand. But that itself does not suggest that those differences are in any way negative. And certainly not from my perspective nor of the others in this comment thread. Can you clarify what you mean? To say that we accepted black people does not suggest that we SHOULD have due to their skin color. We just did because that's what we are and there was no denying that they had some definable characteristic. My point -- and that of others here -- is that race was not a factor in their acceptance. Their DIFFERENCE was. If more accepted their difference as a strength rather than a weakness, we would all be better off. Skin color, economic level, status, community prominence, celebrity... whatever. Embrace your difference. Is that what you're saying?
Xaviaer was open enough to see the evidence. More young people need to have this mindset.
It’s got to be hard with all the indoctrination that’s going on with the public schools young minds are molded very easily! It will take this country a long time to get back to equilibrium. That parents and grandparents and children believe that we live in the best country of the world, because we do!
@ChefBillybaroo I don't know how I'm about the only person in my family who's a conservative. With a few exceptions, most of my family is progressive progressive, some virulently so.
All through life, so much of the stuff I was taught in school, in college, from family, it just didn't pass the sniff test.
Young people are more impressionable, its when they age that they solidify their beliefs (the brain is less malleable over time). And people seem to have less shame in their ignorance, I mean a sizable chunk of adults do not even understand the related magnitude between one million and one billion. They delude themselves into thinking they are still smart, like fat girls delude themselves into thinking their 300lbs is a healthy lifestyle choice.
Everyone needs to have this mindset. The fact is, everyone who is actually open minded and looks at both sides of the arguments comes to the same conclusion. It's not "being red-pilled", it's just using your brain.
@@JustapErson I agree in general that it's about using your brain - critical thinking. But there is a psychological hurdle as well for a progressive, especially if one's friends are mostly progressives.
Welcome, Xaviaer! I used to be very liberal as well. As a teenager, I watched TV shows like The Daily Show and Colbert Report and always had liberal teachers and professors in school. The messages I received were always one-sided. All I "knew" about Republicans was that they were "evil and racist." My grandfather tried to register me to vote as a Republican and I was so furious with him that I didn't speak to him for a long time after. My red-pill moment was actually Sandy Hook. I was always against guns, and didn't understand why anyone would ever need or want a gun. I used to parrot the line that they were compensating for something. But when I saw the way the Left was using those children's death as a platform to ban guns, something just didn't sit right with me. I started looking into the statistics about firearms and the history of gun control and disarmed populations. My eyes were opened and I bought my first gun a few months later. I still didn't consider myself a "conservative" at that point, but the more I learned about the Left and the Right, the more I realized that almost everything the Left says is a lie. When it came to race, I started to notice that it was actually the Left who were the racists. It was the Left who labeled everyone and put everyone into boxes, whereas the Right tended to view people as individuals, as Americans, rather than as a bunch of labels and subgroups. Then I started listening to an audiobook at the gym, Wayne Dyer's 'How To Be A No Limit Person.' In the book he talks about 3 types of people: Neurotics, 'Normal' people, and 'No-Limit' people. As I listened to him describe 'neurotics,' I realized more and more that the description sounded like every Liberal I'd ever known, including my younger self. It's been about 10 years now since my "awakening." I too lost a LOT of friends and also a sibling over it, but I have Walked Away and there is no looking back.
I’ll check out the book. Thanks.
Damn straight .Americans need to stop dividing themselves over highly politicized and contentious social drama. It is a ploy.
If you could find common ground , and fight this Govt. assisted division narrative, the USA and its people would be more powerful. Unfortunately wokeism has infected your everyday life and coupled with mainstream media complicity, could be too hard to eradicatel.
Whatever the Left says believe the opposite.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
the Left are very, very good and spinning a narrative and using language as a weapon (eg, transphobia, antivaxxer, far right, misinformation, conspiracy theorist.... ). All the labels, the pronouns, the judgement, the victimhood.... this is all the creation of the Left, and it's toxicAF (to use their term against them). I'm so tired of meeting Liberals who assume I'm an ignorant racist who watches Fox News and loves Trump. This is SO tedious to try to explain to them that they created that persona, they are just so smug and elitist you can never cut through. they also invented the concept of "my truth", as a way to get around having to consider actual facts. A Leftist has to do the research and find the red pill on their own, and when you do make that journey we conservatives welcome you to our tent (I assume you also now do the same). I too was a liberal in my college years, but as I got a job, married, kids and real life of course I drifted over to the Right Side.
Xaviaer, man I really wanna give you the biggest hug man. I honestly got emotional listening to you. So much hate based in lies and manipulation. We are just humans trying to get through this life and find happiness. We all have to find the will to strive and help as many people alone the way. God bless you Xaviaer, please keep speaking out we all need more people like you because Lord knows we need these positive messages in this increasingly insane time.
"It's not racist to tell the truth." Yea and amen! Thank you, Xavier, for your beautiful story.
He said it all, it was repressed rage he had to begin with, he just repeated what he heard in his head, and he thought it was his opinions. Imagina how you must be real about your own father to realise he was one of the dumbasses. Some dogs bark others want to bite.
The fact he even had a dad, even a radical one, makes a huge difference.
That he sought the truth makes all the difference.
No, His father being there is 100% the most imortant factor that has allowed him the ability to even seek truth
AGREED!!!! 👍🏿
👏🏻👏🏻
How so? Srs question @@xeykdeyk
😂😂 As a black person you touched me deeply, deep down we know what is right and wrong
You know the emoji you choose is crying with laughter right?
as ppl of any race need to state their skin color racism will still live on life support
Proving yourself wrong, at least once, is such an important part of maturation, isn't it? It's a painful but humbling experience, which makes us more reasonable and more humane. Thank you for sharing your story 👍
Sadly this comment is under rated. Too often when faced with truths that counter our world view, we turn a blind eye.
as Jung said, a man will walk through Hell before he wants to face himself.
ive known plenty of smart people, who employ all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid ever admitting to any failure of judgement or reason. even a few people ive caught in outright lies, would admit that they had their facts wrong, then memory hole it and continue as though nothing happened.
i can have no respect for someone who cannot admit having been wrong at any time in their life.
Well said Katharina!
💯
Done it many times.
I'm so proud of this young man. He also gives me hope. We love you.
The truth really set you free from lies
In other news water saves you from dryness.
Love this guy. Rational, intelligent. Researching for ourselves is SO IMPORTANT.
And that's exactly why the Left wants to censor and control information.
This kid could change the world some day. Not kidding. He is a very intelligent and serious-minded individual who speaks with clarity. If he ran for office in my community, he'd get my vote! I see big things in his future.
What? We've set the bar so low that you think someone who only developed common sense 3 years ago is going to change things? Jesus christ thats a dumb thought.
Common sense matures a person exponentially.
It's very difficult to pull away from the gravitational pull of the democratic indoctrination programs taught to most Americans (African Americans especially) as infants.
There is potential with this gentleman to impact this country in a positive way. If that is foolish, I guess I just joined the club 😂😂😂
I did the same thing but with Christianity that trickled into standing firm in values and morals that I have always believed in but never spoke up. Thank you for being such a powerful voice
Well done, Sir! Thank you for lending your voice for truth!🙏🏼❤️
come on, truth? your truth? whose truth?
@@tj-kv6vr you forgot to add man to your statement, it's: "come on man!" Joe Biden, 2020 Presidential Election
I heard a similar story from a young German girl in regards to climate change. She started to look into the actual facts and it led to her getting red pilled. The amount of hate and vitriol she received for presenting those facts on her social media was astounding. I don't remember the young women's name but she was interviewed by Carl Benjamin AKA Sargon of Akkad.
I wouldn't mind checking that out. Which account of Carl's was this on?
@@MutenRoscher that's the one.
Was it Greta Thunberg?
@@networth00 My God, can you imagine the salt and outcry if Greta got red-pilled on Climate Change? LOL
@@networth00 - I see what you’re doing there.👏👏
I’m so proud of this young man! Not because he aligns with my beliefs , but because he chose to think for himself! He went in search of answers and found out who he really is. I love that he feels confident and seems to be very happy. I hope that he chases his dreams and catches every one of them! What a lovely young man. ❤
Wow. Just wow. As a "privileged" white male, I've questioned all of the same arguments you mentioned but have zero platform to say it out loud. Bless you for speaking truth to truly better the community through positivity and honestly.
"The focus on skin color is so outdated".
~ Xaviaer DuRousseau
Well said, sir.
I am an Alaskan native.
I am an advocate for justice. It’s what I want to do. I watched CNN, MSNBC, Fox and other networks.
The moment for me? Was Jan 6th.
Keep in mind I had watched speeches from just about every democrat serving.
I’d heard their language; their prose and body language.
Maxine Watters basically told people to hurt and block out Trump supporters in their communities. Not once was she taken to task on her words; Kamala Harris? During the riots? Encouraged it.
Not only encouraged? She bailed the rioters and law breakers out of jail.
I listened to Trumps whole speech.
I ask people who say he is guilty to tell me the moment trump is guilty of insurrection. And they never can. That is when I started down the rabbit hole.
The second strike for democrats?
When Biden lied about student loans.
Yes. He’s done some good around the loans. Look who he’s done it for.
Doctors who make $200,000 a year.
Lawyers who make $300-$600 an hour.
That’s who he forgave loans for.
Brilliant, independent thinker. We need more stories like this!
I applaud you for making this video. It definitely resonates with my journey as well. As a 56 year old black woman, I can relate so much. I also had my wake up moment, and now a happy black conservative as well 😊
THAT was amazing. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
The truth is like a lion - let it loose and it will defend itself.
Lovely video, lovely young man. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Thank you, Xavier! This is the best thing I've watched today. Parts of your story are similar to my son's experience. I will be sending him your video in hopes that he can see there is not just one way to view the world. He is definitely stuck in the "white cops kill young black men" cycle. It hurts my heart so much to think my beautiful, talented boy is depressed over what he thinks is the biggest autrocity in the USA.
Will be praying for your son and his awakening.
What a great inspiration this young man is. Thank you Xavier for this. God bless you.
What a nice young man. So great to see him happy with himself and standing up for what he knows to be the truth. God bless him.
8:37! You’re impressive and I am glad I listened to you. You are very insightful. You have a great perspective and I hope you pass it on. We need more people like you! Your mother was trying to do what was best for you by moving and was probably a very wise move.
God bless you Xaviaer. Wish you the best in everything.
Welcome Home! The Story of your journey is amazing. Love your open mind and heart.💖. You are not alone in losing friends. My children have also lost friends and we have to be careful around a few family members. It is good to think for ourselves and help our communities not be so toxic to each other. Thank you for sharing your story. Keep standing on truth.
Not conservative or liberal. Shared core values of integrity, honesty, hard work, merit, freedom.
This. There used to be a thing called a "blue dog Democrat", and those people had a liberal view but were for the working class with just those things: integrity, honesty, hard work, merit, freedom. I consider myself a conservative but have much respect for the blue dog Democrats.
@@mike02454yeah, we used to understand that people were not monolithic, party line across the board, in the majority sense. I like to see responsible environmental handling, no Love Canal, or Flint, thank you, but want to see fiscal responsibility first and foremost so people can choose for themselves. Freedom first, security second.
I saw a 2 second clip you were in and HAD to come and find you to give you some real ADORNING LOVE & GENTLE KINDNESS!!
First of all - I am so deeply sorry for the trauma, confusion, pain, hurt and lost identity you experienced through out your childhood and early adulthood - you should never have had to deal with that - I am so sorry!!
Then - so incredibly well, well done for FINDING YOURSELF, YOUR OWN VOICE AND STRENGTH (amongst aaaaaall the indoctrination, distorted opinions and views, even the word brainwashing can come to mind) I am so extremely proud of you and admire you, truly!!!!
thank you for sharing... you nailed it.
very impressive you self discovered this... change isn't easy.
best thing we can do is talk and open up to everyone and culture.
and holding yourself accountable unsteady of blaming others.
yes, treat cops with respect and follow commands... put yourself in their shoes 💯
very great points.
Speaking truth against the voices who try to silence with shame, blame and insults. Keep spreading the word. Don't be lazy, do your own research, knowledge is power.
Mr. DuRousseau, I just wanted to say that your comments were so amazingly accurate and impactful. My sincerest hope is that more people in America, (not just the black community, but all communities) hear your words and actually LISTEN, and do some research, examining the points you made. Our society has reached a point where words are now violence, and when there are no words left, we will be in a new civil war and 10s of thousands of people will die needlessly because they couldn't see the forest through the trees. Please keep using your words, connections and influence to help others see the truth. Thank you
This guy is going places!!! So clear, so honest, so well-spoken, so full of common sense, so impressive! These are the kinds of people we need to get through to our younger brain-washed generation. He is the kind of person that can help dissolve the differences between the divided population. Go Xaviaer!!! :)
His testimony is really powerful. Being conservative is good for your mental health!
Great job Xaviaer. Thinking for yourself, researching for yourself, and speaking honestly about your beliefs is so rare today. I think it is so sad that we have become so divided, we can no longer sit and debate each other with open minds, willing to learn something new. Wishing you all the best life has to offer!!
I had a similar moment with Alex Jones.
Someone mentioned an Info Wars story to me decades back, I don't even remember the topic, but it seemed outrageous to my indoctrinated mind at the time. I argued that the claim was so outlandish that it had to be fake. I wanted to win the argument so badly that I tried to debunk the facts. Upon examining primary sources, the facts were correct in the story.
However, surely, the analysis of the facts and general framing presented in the article were wrong! That required more digging. So, I had to look at other articles that spelled out Jones's framing and try to debunk the facts presented there. There had to be a flaw in the man's reasoning somewhere. One by one, the facts presented in each article were proven true when visiting primary sources. Looking at mainstream media covering the event revealed they would continually misrepresent the facts, outright lie, or provide no facts at all, only rhetoric.
This event led me down a path that changed my worldview completely. When seeing the actual facts behind stories, suddenly my old worldview didn't fit, and I came to the eventual realization that the mainstream world view (the "accidental view" of history) is a carefully constructed lie. I used to say, "Surely the politicians/media can't be that stupid!" when their actions did not fit their rhetoric. What I realized is that they're not, in many cases, that they know exactly what they're doing and working in accordance with a "hidden" agenda, not their spoken agenda, whether knowingly or unknowingly as a "useful idiot".
I'm at the point now where if Schwab or Soros tore off their faces off on live TV, revealing they were actually lizard-men/demons using humanity as a food source, I wouldn't be shocked. I would nod and say "yeah that makes a lot of sense." That's how little I trust the mainstream paradigm at this point.
P.S. on the point of the weaponization of race in the US, look into the works of Yuri Bezminov and Myron Fagen, then follow the breadcrumbs to dig deeper and find out who is really behind these schemes. Dig beyond blanket labels of racial groups and political ideology until you reach the point of naming individuals responsible. Ideology and racial groups are a cop out, as these are concepts, and concepts do not take action, individuals do. You can't prosecute a concept for treason.
operation paperclip and all the BS NASA programs will lead you to the truth ... operation dominic operation high jump ...BE ready to admit this is NOT Left or Right BUT is ALL governments together trying to HIDE the one true GOD ROB SKIBA opened my eyes a decade ago the world is as God created it and its IMMOVABLE its round like a pizza .... FE is the truth
Alex Jones played a big role in my awakening as well. That's why they are trying to destroy him.
Thank you Xaviaer, for sharing your experience. I am really glad that you are feeling more happy and hopeful.
Xaviaer you have brought tears to my eyes because I had lost hope that Racism would never resolve itself. Now I feel There's A Chance With Young Folks Like You. God Bless You and Yours
Please give your mom a hug for me. She was a little misguided but it was out of love and concern for her child. Bottom line she did her best to keep you safe and raise you right and you seem to have turned out pretty well. Sometimes it takes a journey and she gave you the integrity to walk that path.
Xaviaer, your story is profoundly & positively impactful. Happy for you, man!
_TRUST !!_
I did something similar ... starting with : "What are conservatives "conserving" ..."
Found Bill Whittle speeches first ... all of it immediately made sense.
I'd literally NEVER been a news watcher. As SOON as I began watching news, it was OVER.
This is refreshing. As a 45 year old black husband, father and professional, I grew up thinking in a similar way. Other people look at me sideways when I stand on the fact that I am a conservative. But truthfully I’ve never been happier and stress free.
What a brave, thoughtful, and intelligent young man. This is a wonderful video.
Good job dude! I had a similar experience when I tried to debunk a libertarian on socialized health care. That took me on a 2 year research extravaganza into all of my beliefs. I'm a very different person now.
Truth is beautiful! SO happy to see that you are so happy!
Similar situation happened to me although I'm a white woman in my 40s, 2020 was a very scary awakening for me too. I didn't recognize what was happening to our country. A candance Owen video opened my eyes to so many things. Thank you for sharing your story.
An absolutely beautiful testimonial from this young man. He is also gifted with his ability to talk, in this I hope he can take that gift which was once used to mock him and use it to climb as high as he wishes and dares.
A very wise man! He saw the inconsistencies, asked the right questions, and came to his own conclusions. This is something EVERYONE should do! Bravo!
You know I’m really glad you got into this. I enjoyed listening to you. Thank you for sharing.
It sounds like he changed his mind once he started asking good, honest questions.
Brilliant! Thank you for your integrity. Thank you for your honesty. Respect!
“Looking at skin color is so outdated” THANK YOU! So right!
Welcome from wokeism to being awake - and all it took for you is a little bit of research and soul searching... I am so proud of you and your honest journey. I myself talk to people and try to make them see - it is so hard - but I think I've succeeded a few times by telling them something shocking and then say go look it up yourself. My favorite phrase is "prove me wrong". Anyway - thank you - and stay true!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have so many thoughts and so much I could say ... But I'll just say, you are amazing! Personal growth is what this life is all about! I'm so truly thrilled that you have finally found peace of mind and spirit! Truth is a beautiful thing and not always easy to stand for in today's society. You do it with eloquence, dignity and grace! ❤😊😊
So profound Xavier!. I am a black female Conservative and have been ostracised many times because of this. My views align so much with yours. Although i know the Truth, it can be exhausting trying to get my point across to people who lack critical thinking skills...anyway, your red pilled story is sooo refreshing to hear❤
I'm so impressed by this truth-seeker. I've concluded that there are few who are seekers, or even open to accepting truth when they stumble on it, just as Jesus taught and experienced. So I'm always thrilled to discover someone who pays attention to the big questions in life and takes responsibility for his own convictions about what is true.
Keep your story going mate. I think America needs to hear more from you.
Absolutely 💯 powerful, thank you for sharing!!!
This young man gives me hope for our future. He has informed himself and has used reason to find the answers he needed. My heart goes out to all those young people who do not know better. We all have a responsibility to inform ourselves and continue to develop who we are after we become adults. I am especially glad that he has decided to share his journey with the hope that others will see the truth as well. Being uninformed is terrible and am glad that I was raised to watch both sides. My dad used to say you want to stay somewhere towards the middle, vote for both sides because they keep each other in check in congress. Above all, do not do or believe anything just because someone said it. My dad taught us to check for ourselves and to hold up what is being claimed against what others we trust have said and do some research to see if it's true. I am glad for his advice, and I repeat it to anyone who will listen. Thank you for sharing your story.
“It’s not racist to tell the truth” 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Wow this gave me the chills
Curious and intelligent people always find the path back to kindness and understanding if they want to. If they have a good heart. You seem to be a curious , intelligent and good hearted person. Good for you and people around you as well.
Thank you for being vocal on this topic. I hope this message spreads.
I was very moved by your testimony. I loved that you found out for yourself the truth. So proud of you as if you were my own son. Keep up the great work that you do! You are a beautiful human being.
Had to laugh when I read your comment. As I was listening to him, I thought "I'd be happy to adopt him as my son any day!" I've been red-pilled since the early 80's. Trying to wake my kids up and make them actually THINK... I lost them to the system. They don't even want to talk to me.
@@jeanniewi So sorry your kids won't talk to you. It was my daughter, now 31, who was once this hippie gypsie type who got this conservative boyfriend (now her husband) who introduced several conservative youtubers and through many enlightening conversations, influenced me to become conservative. My son has some conservative views but he lives in Denver so that alone makes it difficult for him to take the red pill all the way. I hope some day your kids will open up their minds and realize the truth. If I can swallow the red pill (originally I'm from San Francisco, now live in Houston, TX) and be open to listening and becoming aware, than anyone can. Best wishes to you.
@@PossumLover1111 My three kids are between the ages of 34 and 44. One is in Seattle, two in Milwaukee, WI... both places very left "democrat", very anti-conservative. My daughter in Seattle thinks she's gay and is actually terrified of patriots, Christians, & conservatives. However, she did call me about a month ago and went down a long list of things going on right now, asking if I knew about those things. She didn't want any kind of info, just a yes or no, which is what I gave her, as I was fully aware of everything on her list. It's not much, but it's a start. :)
@@jeanniewi Hopefully your daughter will somehow see the light. You're doing the right thing by listening to her and responding in a non-threatening way. I hope the dialogue between you both will open up her eyes, mind, and heart. While my son (31) lives in Denver and subscribes to the 'look' of the guys there....he's just cynical enough to see through the b.s. somewhat. He was more conservative when he lived here in Houston but I think politics don't interest him much. It's snowboarding that does it for him. He did date a crazy libtard girl for a bit and she showed him her true colors so there's that. Perhaps your kids will change as they get older. I was around 62 when I realized how wrong the left is. Better late than never.
@@PossumLover1111 I'm thinking all these kids will have no other choice than to wake up. I have to admit I'm totally amazed that they can see all this crazy stuff going on around them, on TV, in their friends, and still NOT see the insanity they're embracing. Obviously brain-washing is very effective. Your son's crazy libtard girl probably did more for him than he realizes at this time... he'll start seeing that same craziness in other people around him. All you and I can do is hang in there until our kids get their brains back. :)
WOW! Such a well spoken message! I hope many young people from all ethnic groups listen to him!
I think what we don't realize is that those at the top are still just using the oldest strategy in existence: Divide and Conquer
Young man, I am nearly standing and cheering for you listening to this! I so want to see you and your community succeed and thrive. I am nearly a mirror image to your story. My parents listened to Dr. Martin Luther King and apparently decided that the way to end racism was to move us to the lower income side of town and buy a house there. I attended elementary in a blue collar white school, and jr. high in an almost all minority school. I got beaten up daily in the white school, but I had friends in the minority school. I much preferred the latter school and the latter group of people, but in this brave new world, I get called a racist, daily. Folks don't bother to ask if you have any biracial family members, which, as it happens, I do. I am so tired of leftists brainwashing one group to hate another, in order to create a poor, dependent voting population. I don't want my cousins to be poor and downtrodden for someone's political agenda. I want my cousins to thrive. I want YOU to thrive. Kudos to you, for being honestly intellectual and asking questions, and kudos to you for following where the evidence led.
Always remember a real friend will debate you and then let it go. The bond that is required for friendship is much stronger than believing the same things.
Fantastic intellectual progression. Unfortunately, way too many are not able to think logically and coherently. I've been shocked to find that even people who are otherwise intelligent don't realize when they hold incoherent ideological beliefs.
Ahhh, this gives me hope for Peace. MLK is too often forgotten, thank you❤🎉🏆
Thank you Mr. DuRousseau!! Awesome testimonial!!
Thank you for your honesty. I really appreciate hearing your story.
Amazing young man. Gives me hope for our country.
The take away from this is that he had misplaced anger, i feel many of us when we're young have to overcome this and it's such a great feeling to let go of irrational hate or fear. Remember your life is what you make out of it and it's too short to be upset all the time.
'Knowledge sets you free'
Amen brother. Keep speaking the truth and using your influence to improve the world.
Good report 👍
Sady those that need this won't listen.
This is an impressive man. It takes a lot of courage to go against the grain & more to go against your family’s beliefs & allusions. I still haven’t come out to my family that I’m a hard leaning conservative. I was a raging liberal my whole life. I was involved in politics from a young age, & was involved in various aspects of campaigning and environmental activism. I thought the demon-crats were the party of the poor, the party of the middle class. I was taught they protected the best interests of minorities & of women. Then like this young man, I set out to disprove a few things. I first looked into which presidential candidates had taken the most donations from big pharma. It was my demoncrats!!! I was so angry. Then I wanted to disprove pizza gate. Boy was I in for a harsh reality. Those rabbit holes for deeper and deeper and all kept connecting together. I was mortified at what I learned. It took me a couple years before I was comfortable enough to say I completely WALKED WAY. Now I run a very large activism group called Liberty Lovers. NO MORE LIES!! And part of waking up is also opening our eyes to the serious faults in the the two party system. It’s conservatives against globalists, not Republicans against Democrats.
Hi Xaviaer, wishing you the best from Ireland.
This is a world issue not just an American one, Let's go Brandon!
I love this! Thank you for sharing Xavier! God bless you!
WOW WOW WOW This man is so inspirational and logical and articulate in describing his journey into truth & facts & high standards. Amen...keep preaching all over and whenever you can!!!❤❤❤👍👍👍Everyone can benefit from your story & perspective. ( but it's'going to take me awhile to remember your name).
God bless you brother for sharing your story. Really inspiring to hear people talk about their experiences and what lead them to where they are now. I’ve pretty much been a conservative my entire life and I always was in shock when people labeled me as a racist because my family voted Republican. My dad always instilled in me that God created all people equal and that we treat all people with respect, skin color didn’t matter and when someone shouted out that we were racist for our political views to still show them love and respect which I’ll admit has been difficult at times when someone wants to get in your face and starts yelling at you. But my political party doesn’t dictate who I am. Over time many who’ve disagreed with me and wanted to show me hate have slowly realized I am not their enemy and they’ve even begun to see that things aren’t right on the left.
Lol , that’s a pretty cool story -
It’s your on ur journey, lots of layers , ur seeing everything more clearly, stay on it. God bless.
I grew up on the same way.
I love it when intellectually honest people figure this stuff out.
4:29 for me too!! It was a bottle! And I’m so thankful!
"Why were people destroying black communities in the name of black civil rights justice?" A question I asked as well as I watched the peaceful protests of burning buildings. They still dont want to discuss that question. Because they don't care.
This man has become a truth machine! Whoo! God Bless him, the black community, and the USA!! 🙏🇺🇸
I love this guy! So much smarter and ambitious than me. And he came to understanding through hard work and study and reflection. I came to it through feelings and intuition and reflection. His way's so much better.
The oppressed vs depressed statement. Is hammering the nail on the head.
Such an intelligent young man. Yay!
What a breath of fresh air !
Thank God for men like this who are willing to change!!!
There is a black Christian singer named Michael Tait. His dad grew up in Alabama in the 50s. He talks about being so grateful that his dad didn't burden him with hate. His dad faced real racial persecution but chose to teach his kids about forgiveness and love. It's a humbling story.
Amazing!
Some people who are exhausted by fear will look for the truths that release them from these fears. Others go deeper into fear looking for escape. He Red Pilled himself out of fear and ignorance.
I'm a conservative and have a friend who is very far Left. We NEVER talk about politics. Our friendship is too important.
Wow this is a beautiful story, really moving!
WOW... What a great insightful presentation. I am indeed happy for you.
The truth is the truth.
I just saw your video, Sir. Thank you for speaking from your heart and soul.
God bless you, Sir.
