I'm American, and I spent more than two decades helping defend my country, so maybe I'm prejudiced (oh noes!), but when I look at a black or white or brown or red or yellow American, all I see is an AMERICAN.

Thank you for putting forward exactly how I feel, as a white Christian male conservative pensioner I tick all of the boxes. I think this is the first time I have ever done that. I occurred to me one time when watching Mock the Week one time when there was this very obvious Woke aware ‘comedienne’ and I had a blinding flash of inspiration! Could we do a Mock the Woke presentation? Albeit I am not a recognised comedian, I have been known to have a keen wit, and have regularly written funny skits and short plays for occasions, and would be keen to develop something along those lines, along with people who know what they’re doing regarding broadcasting and modern technology.

Isnt it very interesting that when we hear people who are articulate like this, its like a breath of fresh air.

Totally agree, I've watched a few of his interviews and although he's generally been interviewing people with whom he agrees (at least in the ones I've seen) he does a great job of allowing them to articulate their viewpoints. Hope to see more of him.

[@Cuahchic]

@@Warfoki I understand why they don't interview woke people because as you allude to in your comment it tends to end up in a screaming match without any introspection. All I was saying is that I'd be very interested to see that interviewer take on someone with opposing views as I actually think he'd handle it really well. Most of the viral interviews with say, Jordan Peterson, have interviewers who completely misrepresent his viewpoints and refuse to listen to anything he says, so it'd be interesting to see the woke person in the spotlight for a change.
