You're listening to Comedy Central now. You already know that the challenge is the most heart pounding competition show on television, but do you ever wonder how challenge competitors are selected or which challenges were too dangerous for TV? Well, you can learn all that and so much more on MTV's Official Challenge podcast hosted by your girl Tourie and me. Ainissa, we're giving you the inside scoop on the brand new season of the challenge. Let's go, baby.

[00:00:29]

Listen to MTV's Official Challenge podcast on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Our country is experiencing the most divisive time in recent history, but the holidays are upon us. I want to find out what families are doing to stay connected this season. We just ignore family around the holidays. We stay away. All formalities that are racist, take antidepressants, get medicated, medicated. Got a lot of racist relatives. Yes, unfortunately.

[00:01:00]

What do you do when your racist cousin says something? A lot of my house not allowed in my house, not allowed in my house, my house, my rules.

[00:01:08]

My grandfather was racist when we would watch football and people of particular color would be running down the field, he would cheer for them using the not nice.

[00:01:16]

So he's dead now? Yes, ma'am. That's good. That's good. That's probably the.

[00:01:22]

I was starting to see a pattern, particularly among white families, but crazy shit like this doesn't have to be a holiday tradition. Luckily, there's a solution. And that's where I come in by letting this guy come in, meet Dr. David Camp as a racial dialogue expert.

[00:01:38]

He travels the country writing a workshop called the White Allai Toolkit, where woak white liberals learn to effectively communicate with the not so well. David's basically the white people whisperer.

[00:01:48]

So how many of you folks have racist friends, relatives that you think you might see over the holidays? Everybody. So what are some things that white people tend to do wrong? Oh, sure. Croxteth Socks crisis socks are in fact bad.

[00:02:05]

But let me finish the question I'm asking. What are some things that white people do wrong when other white people say things that are racially problematic or otherwise disturbing? I mean, like calling someone like an idiot or stupid. That's exactly right, because you send it in a text.

[00:02:22]

So the message that you want to think about is race and race stands for Reflect, Ask, Connect expands.

[00:02:30]

Let's suppose that person is your cousin before you know my cousin Bev and BIF wants to talk about how affirmative action is keeping him out of a job and making black folks lazy. What do you do? Not my house.

[00:02:45]

What does that mean? He's not live in your house, my house, my rules, not my house.

[00:02:52]

Well, or you can try to influence people to stay connected to them.

[00:02:56]

You ask him what happened in his life that caused him to believe that. Is that because I know it's not? Actually.

[00:03:03]

That's correct. That's exactly what you should do. All right. Let's turn to the next part of the story. So it's important to do is to find something you can agree with and what Bill said and connect with him.

[00:03:16]

No, I can't connect with Beth. I can't he's racist.

[00:03:18]

As an official black person, I'm telling you, you can connect with him. You're not going to be real honest with you. I may be white on the outside, but on the inside. No, no, no, no. I did see Black Panther nine times, though that very much identified with it. That's great. But you are a white person. Yeah. And you have a similarity to BIF that I do not.

[00:03:41]

OK, you know, I hear you. I get it now. I get it now. OK, to see if this was effective, I needed to try it out.

[00:03:48]

In the real world. I've decided to put David's methods to the test and there's no better place to find conflicting family views.

[00:03:54]

The New Jersey The Cofrancesco family had a history of dinners gone bad, so they were more than willing to let any random stranger with cameras come into their home if it meant their holidays could be more pleasant.

[00:04:06]

What's on your sweater? Just your standard traditional Christmas sweater. It's black. Yeah, it's just a Santa sweater. Pop up.

[00:04:14]

Would you wear a sweater like desis? Maybe not. If I would have known you wearing your black Santas or I would wear my black Jesus sweater. This is what Jesus is in black or white. He's actually he's Middle Eastern. He's Jewish. Jewish is a religion. Jewish is the religion. Nationality part is was Jewish.

[00:04:32]

Well, if Jesus wasn't going to bring this family together at Christmas time, there was only one thing that could.

[00:04:37]

So he likes football. I don't watch football anymore. He has to watch football. All you did last time. You watch football all year because I like what's going on. The kneeling with the kneeling. Yes. I don't like it. You don't like it? Not at all. I disagree.

[00:04:51]

It was time to work my magic. OK, so you say that you disagree. Yes. OK, this is the point of the conversation where you need to connect.

[00:04:59]

You're really going to let someone kneeling before the football game stop you from watching the entire game, the entire thing.

[00:05:05]

That doesn't make any sense. Just don't watch them on. I am handling this TV show. The real I don't know. I'm trying to teach you how to have a civilized conversation.

[00:05:23]

I think it's going great. I really feel that this family is responsive to the techniques that I've shown them. I think David would feel very proud of the way I'm handling this.

[00:05:32]

I put the TV on and I watched this kid kneel down. I shut it off. I want to watch him just like a lot of people.

[00:05:38]

Who cares? Like making a statement. It's a peaceful protest. So tell me, does he. OK, very good. Very good. Very good. You actually just did all four steps and one statement. You were reflecting on what was happening here. You asked for help. You were connecting with me and you were expanding on an idea what all four of your.

[00:06:06]

What's so happy about it's a scary time for men right now. Men, men, just men. Well, there's always next year. Something tells me I'll be back.
