Speaker 8 I see you, Michael Knowles, but get a lot of lows.

Speaker 7 What's new, Michael Knowles?

Speaker 7 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 9 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 What's new, Michael, knows?

Speaker 10 There is no more dangerous holiday for white people than Halloween.

Speaker 11 Reporting live for black TV. White folks are dead.
We're getting the f ⁇ out of here. Let's go down.

Speaker 10 That has at least been true for the last 10 years or so.

Speaker 10 If a white guy or gal did anything, you know, wore a sombrero or something, they could lose their job, be kicked out of school.

Speaker 10 It's very, because if you wear the costume of someone else's culture, you've culturally appropriated. If you don't wear the costume of someone else's culture, you've culturally erased.

Speaker 10 Anything you did. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
So I, as a passably white person,

Speaker 10 will try to try to help guide us. through what white people are and are not allowed to do on Halloween, according to the great wisdom of TikTok.

Speaker 8 Good morning. This is just your daily reminder.
I know Halloween is coming up. Everybody's going to start having costume parties.

Speaker 8 If you're going to do sugar skull makeup, Katrina makeup, please be respectful. Dia de los muertos is not Halloween at all.

Speaker 11 Your intellect is as weak as your dollar.

Speaker 8 It is not a costume. You are not supposed to do the makeup or

Speaker 8 the costume at all in any way. Scary, bloody, none of that.
Please do your research, educate yourself. Our culture is not a costume.

Speaker 8 Dia de los muertos is celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries, but particularly in Mexico. And

Speaker 8 it is a celebration to honor those that have passed.

Speaker 11 Shut up, Brick.

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 8 I'm not going to do a huge lesson on what it is, but I'm just telling you, a lot of people start,

Speaker 8 they think they're just doing the makeup or or whatever, but it's giving mocking and it's offensive. So please be respectful if you do plan on doing that.

Speaker 10 You are made of stupid.

Speaker 10 Dia de los Muertos. That's Day of the Dead.
Is that not even, is that Halloween? Does that go together with Halloween?

Speaker 10 That's not even a Halloween thing. It says you're not allowed.
But anyway, Day of the Dead is a pagan practice.

Speaker 10 It's like a pagan occult practice that should be actively suppressed by society and government. It's just very bad.

Speaker 5 He wanted you to have this.

Speaker 10 Very, very, so you shouldn't. I agree with her actually.
White people and all and other people should not dress up for Day of the Dead because they shouldn't observe it because it's very evil.

Speaker 10 You shouldn't do that. Okay, that was easy.
Next one.

Speaker 12 Here are some more Halloween costumes that I don't want to see this year. Except this time it is cultural appropriation.
First up is the Native American Woman or Native Native American princess.

Speaker 12 Next is anything Day of the Dead themed. The Day of the Dead is a separate holiday and although it is close to Halloween it celebrates something completely different.

Speaker 12 Next is anything like this or like this

Speaker 12 or like this. Some girls at my school were sushi rolls one year.
It was actually really cute.

Speaker 5 They had like pillows.

Speaker 12 Oh and this.

Speaker 12 The drunken Mexican stereotype. Men or woman.
The Bollywood. and then the last one is this Maui costume.
Now, I don't have an issue with anyone wanting to be Maui.

Speaker 12 Hawaiians, if you do, please inform me. I just don't know.
But my issue is with this costume specifically, because it is inflatable and gives the child a dark skin tone. Thank you.

Speaker 10 So you can dress up like someone with a dark skin tone who doesn't wear a shirt, but you can't... have a dark skin tone.

Speaker 10 And you can't, and I guess the character is like fat, so it can't be inflatable. So, what's the, that's kind of weird, though, isn't it?

Speaker 10 Like, I get some people say you're not allowed to darken your skin to portray a particular character. And I think that's silly, but okay, that's

Speaker 10 but you're still allowed to portray the character.

Speaker 10 If you're portraying a character, the whole thing is you are pretending to be like that person. So, you're allowed to be like that person in all things but their appearance.
How that I don't know.

Speaker 10 I don't really get that. Can a white guy play a non-right white character at a party or in a movie or in a play or not?

Speaker 11 Everybody knows you never go full retard.

Speaker 11 What do you mean?

Speaker 10 If so, then you got to do it go all the way. If not, I don't.
That gal seems like

Speaker 10 a very, very nice young gal, a little bit confused, obviously. Weird that there's this focus on Day of the Dead.
No one should be doing any Day of the Dead stuff. The other one that was weird,

Speaker 10 why can't you dress up like a hot Indian? I get some of them are offensive or depicting kind of negative aspects of a culture, like, you know, drunk Mexicans or something like that.

Speaker 10 So they say, well, don't depict a negative aspect of a culture. But for the Indian one, it was just like a really hot lady looking elegant and beautiful.
And why can't you do that?

Speaker 12 Just around the riverbend.

Speaker 12 Just around the riverbend.

Speaker 10 Basically, they're saying you're only allowed to dress up in Western clothing, which is cultural erasure, I thought, I was told. Okay.
Very, very confused by that one. Next one.
Hold on one second.

Speaker 10 Go to balanceofnature.com. Use promo code Knowles.
I think we all know that we should be eating more fruits and vegetables.

Speaker 10 Me, my diet is mostly it's about 40%

Speaker 10 caffeine, 30% nicotine, and 20%

Speaker 10 espresso.

Speaker 10 Is that, I don't know.

Speaker 10 So if I'm not, especially if I'm on the road like I am right now, and I'm not getting all my nice, sweet little Elise of fruits and veggies, it's so great to have Balance of Nature.

Speaker 13 So it's that time of the year again where people like to dress up for Halloween. so let's talk about what costumes are unacceptable and offensive.

Speaker 13 As a general rule, dressing up as another culture or race is offensive and often racist. This includes wearing Afro or dreadlock wigs, Native American headdresses, kimonos, sombreros, etc.

Speaker 13 Other people's cultures are not costumes, they are not fancy dress. Another notably offensive costume, dressing as a terrorist.

Speaker 13 Terrorist costumes often have very racist stereotypes of what a terrorist looks like. And it's not funny, it's boring.
Be more creative.

Speaker 13 Halloween is obviously supposed to be fun, and people wearing costumes like these means that not everyone gets to enjoy Halloween.

Speaker 10 Yeah, we don't want to offend the terrorists, so make sure you don't offend any terrorists.

Speaker 11 Silence!

Speaker 10 I kill you!

Speaker 10 The silliest part of this argument actually has nothing to do with the costumes. It's when she goes, you know, it's not funny.
It's boring. It's boring.

Speaker 10 Because that's so disingenuous. That's so insincere.
If your objection to someone's costume is that it's boring, then okay, that's fine.

Speaker 10 You don't need to be entertained entertained by my costume. My costume is not here for your entertainment.
That's fine. But they don't really mean that.
What they mean is, I'm deeply offended by this.

Speaker 10 I don't want you to do it. You better stop.
But they're affecting this kind of millennial irony and disinterest and detachment. It's just kind of boring.

Speaker 10 It's like when the libs, when you argue about any political issue that they don't have a good answer on, notably transgenderism is an extreme example of this.

Speaker 10 And they say, well, look, I just don't care.

Speaker 11 I just don't care anyone.

Speaker 10 I just, okay, you don't care. Good.
You don't care. I do care.
So let's do it my way because you don't care. So, why do you even care about like marriage? Right.

Speaker 10 We want to have like normal marriage and not abolish marriage and the law and redefine it all sorts of ways. They say, it's just like, I don't even care.
Why do you even care? Oh, good.

Speaker 10 I'm glad you don't care. Oh, you find it boring and you don't care and you're too cool for school.
Great. That's good because I care.
And I find it really interesting.

Speaker 10 So let's do it my way then, if you really don't care. Oh, but you do care.
And you find it very interesting. And you don't.
I don't find it boring and you want to tell me what to wear.

Speaker 10 And because you don't want me to offend a terrorist.

Speaker 10 You know, I actually... Wow.
How did I miss it? I didn't. Even after my in-depth investigation, she has the sign.
I should have known from the moment the first frame appeared on screen.

Speaker 10 This was not going to go well.

Speaker 14 Just a reminder to everyone that being a gypsy for Halloween is cultural appropriation, so don't do it. See it every year for Halloween.

Speaker 14 And I know you girls want to look cute with your little coin belts and everything like that, but don't do it.

Speaker 10 I love this video because she's saying you're not allowed to dress up like a gypsy because that's offensive to gypsies. A gypsy.

Speaker 10 But she still uses the word gypsy, which we are also told is offensive to gypsies. You're supposed to call them Rome people or Roma people.
That's like the new term. You're not allowed to say gypsy.

Speaker 10 Gypsy is apparently a racial slur. Gypsy!

Speaker 10 So don't say gypsy. But anyway, she doesn't know that.
She's like woke enough to tell people not to dress up like gypsies, but not woke enough to know, know the present status of the word gypsy.

Speaker 10 That's cute.

Speaker 5 I like that i like that that's nice gypsy next one i've compiled a list of men's halloween costumes that i think are red flags so that you ladies can protect yourselves this year because knowledge is power starting off with a very popular one a prisoner he has a bland personality he's lazy and boring he'll never buy you flowers or take you out to dinner his idea of a date is watching a movie in his bed next we have an angel he's definitely

Speaker 5 but the extra cringy type he wears wife beaters and spends his free time making thirst traps to post on tick tock okay Okay, this next one is probably gonna be the most popular one this year. Ken.

Speaker 5 Any guy who does Ken this year who's not with his Barbie girlfriend is a pick-me boy. I love the Barbie movie so much.
It's so empowering. My mom is my hero.
He whines in

Speaker 5 all the time. He'll definitely complain about an ex who broke his heart and now he's such a good guy.
I bet 20 bucks that he cheats on you and then blames you.

Speaker 10 I like her. I like this girl.

Speaker 10 She doesn't understand the Barbie movie, but I like her attitude.

Speaker 5 He'll definitely fat shame you if you weigh over 100 pounds. He only seeks out solid tens, but he's like a six at best, and then a four when he opens his mouth.
Police officer. He's kind of a perv.

Speaker 5 Duh. A cowboy.
This can go one of two ways. He's either the normal type or he's the shirtless type.
Now, if he's shirtless, he is a

Speaker 5 but the type with the American flag above his bed, and he definitely peaked in high school. This next one, it is all I saw last year.

Speaker 5 Peaky Blinders. This costume seems fine at first glance, and that's why it's one of the most dangerous ones.

Speaker 5 If you do so much as make eye contact with one of these guys, they will somehow wiggle their way into your life and definitely become your next toxic boyfriend. Last and probably not least, Top Gun.

Speaker 5 This costume's actually fine. I'm just really bored and tired of it.
All my ladies out there, I sincerely hope you take this information to heart and dodge any guys in these costumes.

Speaker 5 And I hope you stay safe from stupid, stupid boys this Halloween.

Speaker 10 I like her. I like her.
I like her attitude.

Speaker 10 She's wrong about certain things. Like, I'm not saying I agree with her analysis on it.

Speaker 10 Even she's saying the guys who dress up like Ken, I assume this is probably that's a year-old video or something. But the guys who dress up like Ken, they're pick-mies.

Speaker 10 They're trying to appeal to your feminism, but don't believe them. Don't believe the male feminists.
I totally agree with that. She's totally right about that.

Speaker 1 Jesus, hold on for one second.

Speaker 10 Sablon! She misunderstands why Barbie's a great movie because it's actually really based in Trad and Greta Gerwig is one of the great directors of our generation.

Speaker 10 And as I've said, Greta Gerwig is essentially an icon of social left-wing thinking.

Speaker 10 That's not the point.

Speaker 10 I like her. I like her take.

Speaker 10 She's hip. She's cool.

Speaker 10 That was a palate cleanser after the other videos.

Speaker 15 It is almost Halloween, and this is your daily reminder not to wear any of this,

Speaker 15 this, or this, because it's not appreciating, it's appropriating.

Speaker 10 Hold on a second. That lady, who is of some kind of generally swarthy variety, she's wearing what appears to be an Oxford shirt.

Speaker 10 That doesn't appear to be from the Taino, the traditional dress of the Taino people, or I don't know. I don't actually know her ethnic background.
That looks downright British. Is she appropriating?

Speaker 10 My,

Speaker 10 half, my, half my culture is not your culture.

Speaker 13 Spoken like a man.

Speaker 10 You don't.

Speaker 10 And we're only talking about wearing clothes like that like one day a year.

Speaker 10 You might wear that all the rest of the year. You can't do that.
Maybe I'm gonna make a video about what other kinds of people can't wear the rest of the year. Would that be good? That'd be good.

Speaker 10 That'd be a tonal shift for the channel. Okay, I'm Michael Knollis.
This is the Michael Knowles show. Happy Halloween.
