I just realized the other day that I've been affiliated with Fox since 2014.
So I feel like I've seen some things. And one of the things that drives me absolutely crazy is the left or the woke, their use of racism to, instead of have an argument, just build an opposition. And it got to the point where the media became so powerful with basically, it was no longer your skin color that you were judged by or outcasted or looked out upon differently. It was your voting preference, which means if you voted for an elephant, there was something wrong with you as a human being, that you were less than a normal man or a woman. There was this, and they were able to cancel people. They were able to get people from losing opportunities. They were able to control Hollywood.
They were able to control athletic endorsements. And one thing, the one group that they went after mercilessly was black men in particular, especially any black conservative. And to just to have to say black conservative is an oxymoron.
It means it has absolutely nothing to do with who you are, how you choose to vote and live your life. And I was always on the front of the brunt of the attack. And it was always the first thing they took from me was my blackness. The second thing they took, I was a caveman or I was the dumb wrestler. Everything about me was wrong and I wasn't really black. And then, oh, he's light skinned and so he's this, he's that.
And they would attack you because when you're trying to have an exchange of ideas and you and somebody are going back and you both believe strongly in your ideas and their answer to your opposition to their idea is to attack your skin color or to attack your culture or in some cases, even sexuality. But it drove me crazy. And one of the craziest things about this election was it seemed at some point black voters, particularly black men said enough. We had been at the, you know, we were at the toxic masculine. You know, we were the worst of the men were black men in this country. And I was at the brunt of it. I was called Uncle Tom.
I was called all these negative things. And I'm not really black because I'm on Fox. And even though everything, you can't change who you are.
I know there was this whole thing where you could have 47 pronouns and you could identify as a peacock if you wanted to, but none of that was real. And no one who doesn't know you is not going to know that you're a peacock that day. But I'm I was black all day, every day. I look different.
I'm light skinned, whatever. But they would constantly just throw that at me and the frustrations. And then, you know, then my acting career, all of a sudden they weren't looking for someone like me anymore.
And, you know, you go to a restaurant and all of a sudden you're being judged. It was like I had experienced racism younger in the Midwest, going to school out there and then trying to live out there for a little while. You did experience some levels of it. And I can tell you there was no difference in the feeling that I felt when I was being basically persecuted for being conservative. And what what I was being persecuted for was I wanted small government. I wanted less taxation and I wanted to be left alone. Now, that is the dream of every man, as far as I know, is to be independent, be able to support yourself and your family and chase the American dream. And I felt the Conservative Party gave me my best effort to do that. So that's why I voted that way. If things changed and all of a sudden Democrats started to engulf things that I liked, like small government, low taxation and everybody gets an opportunity. I'm with it.
What do you have to offer? I'd love to hear it. But that's not what it was. It was, oh, no, you're one of those. And the racism switched to I don't like him because he's a black guy. I don't like him now because he's a conservative black guy who really isn't black anymore. So I was always curious to what I was once I wasn't black anymore. You know, you had that iconic imbecilic line from former President Joe Biden. He's like, if you don't vote for me, you're not black.
But that was the message. And it worked at a high level because I would be on a Gutfeld show and we were the number one late night comedy show. And we're kicking everybody's butt. But and then brothers would stop me in the gym, that's usually when I'm traveling, be like, hey, Tyrus, you're doing a great job, man. They're watching you. And I'd say, hey, would you like to come on?
No. And even talking to me was very fleeting and very quickly. Hey, you know, I'm sorry. No pictures, none of that stuff. You know, I'm just keep doing you.
But, you know, lay low, lay low. And at the Super Bowl Convention Center with all these NFL greats, it was the exact opposite. I was being cheered. Brothers were coming up to me left and right, like, hey, man, keep doing you, your voice for us.
And it was and it was shocking because my first reaction was, where the hell have you all been? Because there was times I just felt alone out there. But I wasn't really alone because, you know, I never have ever judged a friendship based on somebody's skin tone. Like I consider Brian Kilmeade a friend.
I can have a beer with Brian Kilmeade, talk sports with Kilmeade. And he's the same way. And there are people in life that I like I said, guys with us, it comes down to one or two things, loyalty and accountability.
And if your friend is two of those things, you don't care if he's the same color of a baboon's backside, as long as he's there for you when you need him. That's what friendship is and what the left has done. And they did it successfully for a long time was they made people hide who they were, who their belief system was in this country because they want to get persecuted. And that, to me, is probably the greatest change that President Trump has made with this election, this compelling sweep.
And he couldn't have done it without every group getting involved. What I mean by that, blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, men, women, gay, straight. That's what made this election go the way it was, is that people decided that, you know what, I'm tired of being judged on how I look, who I sleep with.
I just want to be judged on content of character and who I am as a person. And the mainstream media is probably the greatest perpetrator of running racist things or going after a person based on the color of their skin and how they vote. And they were able to get away with it.
