I believe I went to school with Corey back in Colorado. Seeing him here with this project is crazy. I am working on a documentary which deals with similar subject matter. I even included the work of Peter Boghossian. Postmodernism ua-cam.com/video/vtOf7wea1x4/v-deo.html If you guys need any assistance I would love to help you guys out!
What a dumb statement, rooted in nothing. There is no sinister woke movement. Corey is a blaq misfit like myself but he is concocted a silly story around it. I am a blaq man with wide musical tastes also. So what if people find me strange it is nothing like slavery or rape. Corey needs therapy.
I felt the same. I wasn't surprised in the slightest to hear that he had a Jewish upbringing as well as studied abroad. I have to confess. I've never heard of Corey before but he's the breath of fresh air I needed. He's really terrific, so engaging and a totally memorable man. I like his style in every way. Wow.
Interviews like this are very important. It’s easy for the woke to dismiss people like Peter Boghossian or Lindsay or Murray because “they’re privileged cis white males.” Thank you!
That whole thought process of dismissing ideas because of the speakers skin color is woke racism in and of itself. They cant get away from it. Its the heart of their whole ideology.
Oh, don't worry. They can easily dismiss this person as well. And they do. We have to come to the realization, eventually, that these people are NOT going to change their minds. They are high on their utopia. They'll have to be attacked by their own Mob first themselves if they are EVER going to change.
Thank you so much for this interview. I live in Washington and deal with woke people all the time. They approach me with an assumption of my beliefs, political affiliations, and background. When I debunk their preconceived notions about who I am, they do three things... 1. They try to educate me on what it means to be black. I've received memes, links, to articles, and book recommendations. 2. Then they feel sorry for me because I've been brainwashed by white supremacy. 3. They then get angry with me and suddenly it becomes okay to use racial slurs because if I'm not the victim they need to save or pity, then I'm no longer a human being. I've had people say very offensive things to me and follow up with #blacklivesmatter as if that's their mic drop moment. "I can't be racist because I support BLM." If I have an opportunity, I will try to have a respectful conversation with these people only to be dismissed, raged at or, even worse, told "my friends are black and they say...". I've walked away from a lot of friendships because the rampant covert racism I've experienced. It's sad to see so many people proudly announce that they are anti-racist one moment and then call a black woman an Uncle Tom in their next breath. I know I'm not alone in this experience. I'm glad that we're now talking about it.
Having been a conservative since the Reagan years, I have been treated in a similar fashion by progressive Dems whenever I disagree with their thinking, and I never say anything until they speak their politics. I'm respectful, but I am just not willing to stay silent.
@@thomass5169 I wish I could say the same. I mostly tell people that I prefer to be in the middle and educate myself on all sides of an issue instead of just assuming that the media or strangers on social media have it right. What sucks is that people assume that because of the color of my skin, I believe certain things. I had one of those conversations today and it sucks.
@@rawfeederlife Remember, when you stand up for conservatism or individualism, the audience is not always the person you’re speaking with, but those who happen to be listening while you were speaking. You’ll know when you are ready to speak, and if you’re not then don’t. Though after reading your post I would say you are much further along than you realize. It’s hard enough to be a conservative in today’s world, but in my lifetime and yours, being a conservative black person takes bravery beyond belief. You are much stronger than you know. Remember your audience. People are always listening.
@@rawfeederlife yes but that's because most b lacks vote Democrat, it's something insane like 98% b lack women vote Democrat . Plus all the b lack mainstream voices all push the same propoganda. So it's understandable that people will think you think a certain way.
Fellow washintonian here. Its interersting seeing someone else in the state (I’m assuming your western wa as well) with similar experiences. Many times I have sat with my “woke” friends and acquaintances, listened too their view points thoroughly, and then offer an opportunity for them to see my point of view and look at things differently only to be met with, anger/rage, defensiveness, an immediate need to change the topic or straight up running away from the conversation.
He is such an inspiration for all of us. Never heard of him before. Love how he refers to us as human beings. This guy should be talking to the woke in the UK. What a brilliant guy.
Yes, he's got so much life under his belt & has a clarity that would be interesting for pub chat. Grounded people, who are truly mindful are a blessing to encounter these days. I go forth smiling each day & often still draw scowls, but I get a laugh out of the cashier at the supermarket or corner store by saying silly funny stuff & everything will be okay. I can only affect the world through my own action, so I try to be an optimistic anarchist and try to do better in my life.... don't go to pubs often though lol
Thank you for what you do mate. As a straight white male, the second I criticise woke progressives I get attacked for "unconscious bias" or just plain accused of racism. Coming from a background of social studies and ethnic identity its somewhat galling to have ignorant teenage firebrands screeching at me about a subject I studied for many years. As a member of the "target demographic" for hate, my voice carries little weight. I really hope you get your message out. Good luck with your memoire, good luck with your health, and thank you for being a sane voice in a crazy world.
That's a perfect example of their hypocrisy. You should find a way to highlight the error in their line of thinking, without them being able to immediately reject it--probably citing the same hypocritical reasons you're trying to make them aware of. It's a vicious circle of toxic stupid you're wading in. Sorry about that, mate..
@@SineEyed Thank you mate Its actually kind of insane too have spent so much time studying how ethnic groups are targeted for hate..... only to suddenly find out that these same mechanisms are being used to target "normalcy" and "normal people" as an attempt to destabilise civic society. Not being "part of the progressive agenda" is now a "hate crime" and people are being targeted. This happened during the cultural revolution in China half a century ago and even then it was seen as crazy totalitarianism. Maybe Hoover had a point.
So refreshing to hear a clear minded , functional individual sharing his experiences as a capable and professional man. Wow. I loved the last story. I pray that he continues to overcome his maladie and continues to write. Thank you, bro.
So glad I came across this interview. I remember the white fragility billboards he is talking about. Grifter is a perfect description of robin d’angelo.
"Do not make the mistake of the ignorant who think that an individualist is a man who says: “I’ll do as I please at everybody else’s expense.” An individualist is a man who recognizes the inalienable individual rights of man-his own and those of others. An individualist is a man who says: “I will not run anyone’s life-nor let anyone run mine. I will not rule nor be ruled. I will not be a master nor a slave. I will not sacrifice myself to anyone-nor sacrifice anyone to myself.” - Ayn Rand
Just popped up on my home feed and couldn't be more thankful to see others in the creative and film industry that don't blindly follow the "woke ideology". "I really fear for our future to be authentic in the creative arts" - all this division and pre-judgements are poison to creativity and thought. Big props to Corey for this - as a "German, white, cis, male" (🙄) I'd have to fear being cancelled and shunned for expressing my thoughts in today's climate. Free thought and speech is becoming a crime more and more these days... Aren't we all spiritual beings living a human experience?
I wish this young man well in his recovery. If I were a woke 'acolyte' ( as he describes them) I would be terrified by Corey Drayton. Fascinating film, thank you. 'Let the ideologies go and get back to the business of being human beings again'. Best thing I've heard for a long time.
Your channel will balloon with subscribers after this interview gains traction online and starts getting linked and recommended and Corey's public profile is going to be huge after this excellent interview/profile. I'm stunned. Fantastic job on both your parts. He's a natural and I'm deeply impressed by his articulate expression, intelligence and character. Wow.
I was doing video production for a while among the various careers I've had (just happened that way) in a progressive town (in the South) and I know what you mean about everything you said. I'm retired now on a fixed income. But the point is to keep going and not to let anything/ anyone stop you! Rooting for you!
What a great interview. So dense in complexity of response to this wholw pervasive woke ideology. And the response comes from his own lived experience. Putting a young, intelligent, reflective philosophically inclined and resilient fellow into the cultural madhouse of Portland was bound to produce something amazing. I hope his voice travels far abd wide. I'd love to see a conversation between him and Jordan Peterson!
Really enjoyed this interview, Corey seems like a really great dude. Hope his remission is successful and he has a long happy life. Cheers for sharing this.
Well said. Please let Mr. Drayton know that his words were well=received and I intend to steal some of his statements and arguments to augment my own. Thank you!
Excellent well spoken Corey, thank you for getting to task and covering so much ground. I found myself watching his words being pulled from my head and experiences, incredible. We need more of this dialogue, thank you for speaking so eloquently and thank you for interviewing such a clear minded philosophical person!!!! Kudos
Well done! It’s so interesting and uplifting to hear regular people talk about their guiding principles. I’m always especially interested in how different traditions think about the concept of evil, and I felt personally implicated in hearing the notion this man shared in Jewish teaching of evil being that whisper that tells you you’re unequipped or incapable of doing the thing that your conscience knows you should do.
Absolutely love everything about Corey. But really loved this part, "I think White Fragility is one of the greatest arguments in favour of white supremacy I've ever encountered." He's got DiAngelo's number, she is a grifter and making obscene amounts of money at it. And then for his professionalism on the WF documentary to be questioned was so racist and demeaning!
"People can do anything, people can transcend anything. And I think it's really important to let the ideologies go and just get back to the simple business of being human beings again." Beautiful, and well-said - this echoes my sentiments exactly.
Travis, thank you for the question about White Fragility and for Corey’s critique of it. I was especially pleased to hear Corey suggest a connection with Tema Okun’s work and the racism of the Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture. Okun’s work especially has been embraced by the “woke” in K-12 education to harmful results.
Excellent. Ty for helping share Corey's experience. Sad, and illuminating. Love his msg at the end, encouraging us all to put the ideologies aside and get back to being human beings again.
Thank you for this! Yes, it is incumbent upon us to relate to each other naturally, to learn about and from each other. This cannot occur if one goes into the exchange having already put the other person into a box bordered by their preconceptions.
Thank you so much for this eye opener interview. I used to feel the same about my identity until I understood it and everything has changed since. It was one of the best discussion and I could have listened him for hours to be honest. Stay blessed and continue to open people's eyes with wisdom like Corey Drayton.
I would listen to him reading the phone book. What a great speaker and use of language. I am envious. And his politics is a huge bonus. I would buy him beers for the amazing discussions.
I once saw an interesting article that put forward the theory that with the decline of the traditional social hierarchies, many of the old upper middle class moved into hard left politics, because it allowed them to feel they were still at the top of a hierarchy - except this time it was a moral hierarchy.
A liberal is not hard left, its more like they knew they could hide their racism and still hold power. When you raised to be a racist its hared to recovery from that.
I grew up around current wokies and I remember very well what they used to say about blacks, gays, lesbians, Asians . . . All of their current chatter is just compensation for the fatal day when someone like me points out their previous lifetime of slurs.
Cory gave such a great description of his experience up against the woke progressive attitude, it's so helpful to hear what you instinctually feel fleshed out into language.
Congratulations on surviving. My mother had cancer fairly bad and she definitely just gave up, and I don't want to judge people for doing that because I know it's very difficult. I can certainly see how someone who persevered would have a more positive outlook of life. I look forward to your books.
Yes! Yes! All of the yes that can be yessed! I lived in Portland for five years. If I had been sitting in that chair this interview would have been six months long!
This interview is fascinating. He’s inspiring me to go read philosophy. Btw I’ve heard a lot of classical music lovers appreciate metal and vice versa.
At the end he basically restates my takeaway (and I'm guessing most people's takeaway, or so I've thought) of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech...which was basically treat people as individuals w/o preconceived biases and bigotry. It's a great message, one of the most important I guess. But it feels so weird that we are here all the decades later even having to rehash this idea. But anyway, thanks for trying to help steer the ship in the right direction!

Why did you call yourself that? FMD it sounds so lame
Stop being a victim.

Never seen this channel.
Never heard of Corey.

But 28 mins well spent. Thanks
I'm also a cancer survivor, if that experience doesn't teach a person - nothing will. I completely understand what he is talking about.
You do not. He stinks.
Heart attack here, My name. I view everything differently, and don't regret it.
This should have millions of views. People need to see what it's really like in these woke cities.

Very interesting to see more people speak up against these divisive ideas.
I'd just like to echo the sentiments already expressed. I look forward to hearing more from Corey. He's an inspirational speaker.

You are my friend sir. I always root for people who transcend race, that ideology should be the contagion.
Can you get whytes to do this as well?

Peterson is an old fashioned racist and misogynist and Corey is a blaq eunuch.
These types existed long before woke.
So glad you've recovered and your assessment and values are spot-on!
Jeez. I dont know why but, this man's speech brought a tear to my eye! It was intence to say the least.
What a brilliant young man, a pleasure to listen to.
Really enjoyed this interview, Corey seems like a really great dude. Hope his remission is successful and he has a long happy life. Cheers for sharing this.
That’s why cults try to get rid of previous belief systems and close friends and family. These things helpto prevent indoctrination.
Sorry you had to go through stuff like this. But thank you for speaking up!
What a joy of a human being. Pleased to meet you Corey!
Fantastic. Never heard the perspective of evil being that which tells you to give up as opposed to commit evil acts.
Well said. Please let Mr. Drayton know that his words were well=received and I intend to steal some of his statements and arguments to augment my own. Thank you!
Very well spoken.
I wish him a full & healthy life.
Anti racism. What an age to live in. We just rebranded the 60s.

Excellent well spoken Corey, thank you for getting to task and covering so much ground. I found myself watching his words being pulled from my head and experiences, incredible. We need more of this dialogue, thank you for speaking so eloquently and thank you for interviewing such a clear minded philosophical person!!!! Kudos
"a visceral disgust reaction" exactly! Exactly how I reacted to the two experiences I had with the "Woke Agenda".
What is this agenda?
Can you define its aims?
This is an awesome interview, this guy's terrific on camera!
I hope this message is spread far and wide. I would read a book written by Corey any day.

Great chat. That point about rape was especially compelling
It was not.
It was pathetic and over dramatic.
A stinking analogy and totally mendacious.
Beautifully said!
Honestly this interview is incredible I'm amazed it is not trending across social media
Maybe because its incredibly daft up there with black people are the "real racist" rhetoric.
It is rubbish 🗑!
Corey is a conman.
Thank you for this! Yes, it is incumbent upon us to relate to each other naturally, to learn about and from each other. This cannot occur if one goes into the exchange having already put the other person into a box bordered by their preconceptions.
Sadly, this is normal life and the basis of whyte existence especially.
Your denial of reality is close to satanic.

Probably the best analysis of the woke ideology.

I once saw an interesting article that put forward the theory that with the decline of the traditional social hierarchies, many of the old upper middle class moved into hard left politics, because it allowed them to feel they were still at the top of a hierarchy - except this time it was a moral hierarchy.
A liberal is not hard left, its more like they knew they could hide their racism and still hold power. When you raised to be a racist its hared to recovery from that.
Wow this guy really sees things clearly. I can’t imagine how it must feel for him to have to deal with this bullshit.
Fantastic interview. Loved his perspectives!
Finally!!! Some bloody common sense!! Well done!! Merit indeed.
Wow, what a great interview. Well-paced, eloquent, and poignant. Thanks for the food for thought.
I am a fan. I don't think this guy could be more charming.
Absolutely love this interview!
Bravo! 👏👏👏 Excellent interview 👍👍👍
Thank you for this interview
Thanks for sharing old chap.
Thank you young man…. That woke stuff is insulting to every shade of skin there is. Keep speaking up!
I grew up around current wokies and I remember very well what they used to say about blacks, gays, lesbians, Asians . . . All of their current chatter is just compensation for the fatal day when someone like me points out their previous lifetime of slurs.
So it would have been better to continue using said slurs?
What a fascinating man! Super interesting perspective and insights. Thank you.
Enjoy listening to this guy talk. He has a very unique view, and is able to explain it really well.
This guy speaks really well about this subject, more people should see this.
I think I've fallen in love with Corey.
A fan of classical music AND heavy metal music??
This man, is a man of taste!!
Most blaqs have wide ranging tastes.
African Americans are the most influential people on the planet.
@@ondolite3789 Press D for doubt.
Blaq people tend to have a wider scope than others and much less prejudice.
Corey is nothing unusual and a stinking, filthy liar
Cory gave such a great description of his experience up against the woke progressive attitude, it's so helpful to hear what you instinctually feel fleshed out into language.
Couldn't agree more. Great video...thanks for speaking out!
wow, such a balanced and clear and awesome man. Corey Drayton you are an inspiration to all who can think.
Congratulations on surviving. My mother had cancer fairly bad and she definitely just gave up, and I don't want to judge people for doing that because I know it's very difficult. I can certainly see how someone who persevered would have a more positive outlook of life. I look forward to your books.
My God, this man is brilliant.
Yes! Yes! All of the yes that can be yessed! I lived in Portland for five years. If I had been sitting in that chair this interview would have been six months long!
Absolutely brilliant interview!!!
This interview is fascinating. He’s inspiring me to go read philosophy. Btw I’ve heard a lot of classical music lovers appreciate metal and vice versa.
False.
@@Betrayerslayer I’ve met about 4. Doesn’t mean they’re common but they exist.
@@littlecatfeet9064 5, now. Metal is a close descendant of classical, if we see music as a series of lineages.
At the end he basically restates my takeaway (and I'm guessing most people's takeaway, or so I've thought) of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech...which was basically treat people as individuals w/o preconceived biases and bigotry.
It's a great message, one of the most important I guess. But it feels so weird that we are here all the decades later even having to rehash this idea. But anyway, thanks for trying to help steer the ship in the right direction!
This guy is so sensible and intelligent great interview!
Proper and upright. Carry on.
