WATCH: Dinesh D’Souza calls out racism on the left against California governor candidate Larry Elder

Dinesh begins with:

"There's a streak of panic running through the left in California. Why? Because our friend Larry Elder, Larry has had a Salem radio show for a long time. He's a marvellous pundit, a very clear thinker, an African-American."

"And he is running neck-and-neck [with], in fact, slightly ahead of, Gavin Newsom."

"So, coming out of nowhere, Larry announced [himself] for the governor's race, just, it seems like, days ago. And he has surged; he is proving to be a serious candidate. So, needless to say, a ferocious attack has opened up against him."

"And my favorite, from the LA Times, it says 'Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy.' Wow!"

"I mean, first of all, talk about a super racist thing to say. The basic assumption here is that he's the 'black face.' It's not even like he's a black man. It's not even conceding Larry Elder's humanity, let alone his ability to think for himself, his ability to have his own views. He's the 'black face' of white supremacy."

Dinesh goes on to mention Elder's background, as he was born and raised in Compton and South Central Los Angeles, respectively, the "wrong side of the tracks", and that he is on track to be the first black governor of California. He then points out that, despite the left's supposed love of "diversity", they don't want the "first black conservative governor."

According to Dinesh, Elder has even been compared by LA Black Lives Matter activists to former KKK head David Duke.

Dinesh continues:

"Larry Elder's main theme, if you've been listening to his show and reading his articles, is simply this: By and large, if you grow up with two parents, if you are raised in an intact family, if you have a mom and a dad, you are less likely to end up poor, you are less likely to end up in prison."

"So, the idea here is that the black community is facing, as indeed some parts of the white community are, a crisis of the family. And that is the root cause, that, not racism, not police discrimination, not police brutality, is the root cause of the problems that are faced in the black community."

"So here's Larry as a black man talking about the interests of the black community, disputing the leftist interpretation of what the problem is, and disputing the leftist interpretation of what the solutions are."

"And for this sin, the sin of being a dissenter, a renegade – the left can't even comprehend that there can be disagreement with their point of view."

Dinesh then talked about how the now largely disgraced Nikole Hannah-Jones once tweeted (and then deleted) that black people should be "politically black."

"Well, if black is a function of politics, then I guess it could follow that you could be a white person and still be black, because you may be racially white, but 'politically' black."

"So, suddenly his term is divorced from all obvious meaning, and it's done for what purpose? Well, what Nikole Hannah-Jones wants to do is enforce complete unanimity in the black community. She wants black people to march in lock-step."

"And if they don't do it, they are going to be accused of being 'honorary blacks', or blacks marching around in whiteface."
