Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Dennis Prager Radio Show. I know what you're thinking. This does not sound like Dennis Prager whatsoever. At least not the Dennis Prager I know.

And trust me, Dennis is not transition genders. I'm a new person. This is Omelette Bonobie. I'm 22 years old, and I'm a Prager You personality and host of a show called Unapologetic Live, which you can check out on all podcast platforms, plus on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.

I know a few of you probably know who I am, but for those of you who don't, as I said before, my name is Omelette Bonobie. I'm 22 years old, a former leftist, reformed, now conservative working at Prager You.

So I figure I should start off the show today by telling you a little bit about my story. It was born and raised in a small rural conservative town in Central Florida by a single mother of three who worked tirelessly to provide for me my younger sister and my older brother on very little income, so shout out to my mom for being a great mother and doing great things with little resources in her life.

But my mother happens to be a very radical leftist. She continues to work for the left to this day, so I grew up with that influence in my life. I don't think that race is all that important, but my mom happens to be white, and I happen to be biracial, black, and white.

So from a very young age, I was taught that by virtue of being born half black and half white in America, life might be a little bit harder for me. There might be some hurdles placed in front of my success and my flourishing in this country due to this country's history, the way our systems and our institutions were built, and that systemic racism just happened to be baked into them.

As you can imagine, I was not the happiest young child in middle school and high school with these ideas in my head. I had a fight to fight, and it was a big one, and I thought there was no better avenue to take in life than the avenue of activism, and I'm sure many of you hear that and laugh. I laugh, but only in retrospect.

So throughout middle school and high school, I was that angry young kid who was talking about politics when nobody wanted to hear what I had to say, talking about women's reproductive rights, and the march for our lives, and racial inequities, and police brutality, giving speeches on any given day to a bunch of students who had no interest in what I had to say whatsoever.

But by doing this and practicing this, I became really good at running my mouth. I still am to this day, which is why I'm sitting here hosting this radio show. So I really made that into a job position for myself. I graduated high school, and I thought, higher education, no thank you, I'll go and pursue activism full time.

I got a job working at my mother's organization as a youth organizer and coordinator, which essentially meant that I was traveling around to different middle schools in high schools, finding young people who were maybe disillusioned with the political system as it stood today, already leaning left.

Maybe they had a Democrats club at the school, I would go infiltrate these clubs, have discussions with these kids about socialism, feminism and patriarchy, racism and racial structures in America, having them take tests to check their privilege, and essentially funneling them through the organization that I was working for.

So these young kids who are maybe politically disinterested or slightly involved in politics were then becoming activists themselves, we'd go to these schools, take them with us to different events and protests that we had staged, they would be door knocking and educating others about how to vote different candidates as the election cycles came through.

And that was what my life was, and I was feeling fulfilled, so I thought, although depression and anxiety was looming over me at all times due to the depressive nature of leftist ideology and specifically woke leftist ideology.

So I worked to this job for about a year or so, and slowly but surely began to recognize that leftist ideology was not for me.

As I said before, I was feeling depressed, I was feeling anxious, I was going into work every day and hearing a lot of racist rhetoric towards white people in particular, and then having to finish work at five o'clock and head home to a white family that had done nothing but provide and care for me my entire life,

and set me up for a life of success and flourishing and good values.

So as you can probably imagine, these ideas of systemic racism and inherent racism for white people are really hard to hold in your head when you have such great examples of white people and white family in your life.

So I was quickly confronted with the pitfalls of what I had thought at the time, and I had a bunch of questions swirling around my brain and essentially no one to answer them.

And when I had reached out to the higher ups at this organization to get some clarity about why the tolerance side that I think that I'm working for is actually not so tolerant.

I was told that I just simply didn't know how oppressed I was and that it was my job to figure that out.
