Trump Reaches Out to Blacks; Blacks Riot in Philadelphia
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of Renaissance Radio.
This is Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, and my weekly guest, Paul Kersey, who is the great impresario of stuff black people don't like.
Welcome again, and I'm looking forward to what you have to say about this very interesting week we've just had.
I'd like to start with the new developments in the Eric Garner case.
You remember that very well, do you not?
I'm Well, you know, the Eric Garner case, you could say that that was a glimpse of what was going to happen with Ferguson.
It happened about roughly two weeks before the incidents on August 9th.
In Ferguson, Missouri.
And in a lot of ways, this was one of the main reasons why the Ferguson incident became what it became, because of social media.
And social media played such an important part in the myth of Eric Garner.
That's right. And just to review the case of Eric Garner, he's the guy in July 2014.
He was selling Lucy's, that is to say, single cigarettes on Staten Island.
He's a 43-year-old black guy, way overweight, obese, and he had been arrested by the NYPD 30 times since 1980.
Not exactly your sterling character.
And at the time of this incident, he'd been out on bail for selling these untaxed cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false impersonation.
I'm not exactly sure what that is.
But the police decided to stop him for who knows how many times, for maybe the 20th or 30th time of selling these things.
And he resisted arrest.
That is the key thing here.
All of this stuff goes bad when you resist arrest.
This is something that so many black people just don't seem to pay attention to.
If you just do what you're told, if you don't break the law, or even if you do break the law and you don't resist arrest, there is not going to be an unhappy ending.
In any case, one of the police officers, Daniel Pantaleo, when this guy started batting him away, he took him down to the ground with a neck hole.
And of course, if I could throw in, this is all on film.
the entire incident from the moment they go to arrest him to where the chokehold
where they're telling we're going to put you you know to when he says when he's
on the ground and when he says I can't breathe this is all on film so you can
actually go and watch this entire altercation that Mr.
Taylor is talking about. That's exactly right and that's an important point
too because it's important to realize the police officers knew they were
being filmed. This was not some sort of sneak video that they were unaware of.
They were doing what they considered to be their duty on film with no worries or concerns about it at all.
So Pantaleo takes him down with a neck hold.
He says it wasn't even a choke hold.
Choke holds are against the rules in NYPD because they were used at one time really to subdue people and choke them out.
That they're not supposed to do anymore.
He says it wasn't a choke hold. It's just my way of taking him down in any case.
Garner is on the ground.
He's trying to get the cuffs on him because that's what you try to do when you arrest a guy.
You put the cuffs on him. And when Garner is saying, I can't breathe, and it's 11 times he's saying this, it's not when Pantaleo's arm is around his neck.
It's after Pantaleo and a bunch of other guys, he's just surrounded by cops here, a bunch of other guys put him on his stomach to put the cuffs on him.
That's when he's saying, I can't breathe.
Well, in any case, here's a guy, not only was he a big overweight fellow, he had heart disease, he had asthma, and this guy couldn't walk a block without stopping to wheeze.
He was grotesquely overweight.
I think you're downplaying his corpulence.
He was grotesquely turgid.
You can see him on the video.
There is a lot of Eric Garner out there.
In any case, he lost consciousness while they're waiting.
They called for an ambulance because obviously this guy's not responding, but he was breathing.
They didn't give him CPR because he was breathing.
And then it is very clear he died of a heart attack in the ambulance on his way to the hospital.
Now, what infuriates me about this incident is that from Hillary Clinton on down, people say he was choked to death.
You see that whenever you hear about Eric Garner.
Choked to death.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not. And it is so annoying that the media have gone along with this thing.
They have promoted this idea that he was choked to death by this brutal guy.
Well, They presented his case to the state grand jury.
The grand jury refused to indict.
There was no excess force, no criminal intent, nothing at all.
And there are a number of other circumstances.
One important one is that, aside from the fact that this guy was not choked to death, is that the supervising officer who supervised the arrest was a black woman.
A sergeant.
Kizzy Adonai is her name.
And she is quoted in the original police report as stating, and these are her words, the perpetrator's condition did not seem serious, and he did not appear to get worse.
She never, ever said, hey, hey, hold on, stop that stuff.
No. The supervising sergeant says, oh, I just stood there and said everything needs to be done.
And again, it's all on film.
Nobody thinks they're doing anything the slightest bit wrong.
Correct. So, the state refuses to press charges.
Of course, when that happens, Barack Obama says he's all disappointed, and he says this is all part of an American problem.
An American problem.
Well, you of course remember the night in November of 2014 when Mr.
Obama, President Obama, after the St.
Louis County decided not to prosecute Yes.
Our friend in Ferguson, Darren Wilson, how upset Barack Obama was in one of the more visible and astonishing moments of his presidency where you could tell he was just, he wanted to see if he could, I'm sure we'll learn down the road, Jared, that he had a meaning to see if there was anything he could do From his executive power to try and overturn the legislative decision there in St.
Louis. But this was another clear case of Obama wanting again to side with a black criminal over our Anglo-Saxon legal traditions.
Exactly. I remember very well that case in Ferguson.
He gets on and he spends the entire time talking about how bad the police are.
Not once did he say, you're not going to get into this problem if you don't get high on marijuana, you don't knock over a lifter store, you don't punch a cop in the face, and you don't try to get his gun and shoot him.
No, he never said a word about any of that stuff.
Barack Obama, of course, the mainstream media, they are just as bad.
They always see this in terms of white, bad, black, good terms.
In any case, Barack Obama was very disappointed because the state had no case against him.
But the city, of course, paid him no less than...
paid his family, Eric Garner's family, no less than...
I remember this distinctly.
de Blasio was one of the main people to push for it.
Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, they paid $6 million to the family, which, of course, set the precedent, as we saw in Baltimore a year later, when even before the trial of any of the six officers that were going to be on trial, of course, three were white, three were black, and the death of the heroin dealer, Freddie Gray...
Baltimore paid $5 million out even before the first legal argument had been heard.
But see, in this case as well, there was no indictment, the feds had made no indictment, and they pay $6 million.
At some point, I would love to research the reasoning that goes into this.
Now, maybe this is to forestall a civil suit.
Because the standard of proof is less in a civil suit.
It's just preponderance of the evidence rather than beyond a reasonable doubt.
So even if you can't get a criminal conviction on a policeman, you might be able to get a civil conviction, especially in the inflamed atmosphere that is stirred up by the way the press reports this stuff, by all of this Black Lives Matter nonsense.
So you're inferring that it was ransom money in a way.
Exactly, exactly. It's shakedown money.
That's what these payments always are.
Correct. In any case, what is interesting about all this, and why we are talking about it now, two years after the fact, is that Eric Holder ordered a civil rights investigation on this.
Maybe this Daniel Pantaleo guy, even if the state could convict him, maybe the feds could convict him of a civil rights violation.
That's a mighty hard thing to do.
You have to say that he intended, you have to get into the state of mind and think that he intended to violate Eric Gardner's civil rights.
Well, the FBI in New York City and the DOJ people, the prosecutors, they said, no case, no case.
There's no way we can make a case.
Now, Loretta Lynch, the black successor to Eric Holder, she knows better.
Apparently, the folks in Washington, D.C., who have not been following this case, they have decided to remove jurisdiction from the people in New York, who are furious, by the way, and take it back to Washington, D.C., and she is going to probably charge him with civil rights violations.
That's the news that came out this week.
It's just incredible.
And like you point out with the Freddie Gray case, they pay this guy all this money, and then when they actually try to try the police officers, as you point out, three black, three white, but it's still all racism, of course, They got nowhere.
The case was thrown out.
I mean, I can't imagine a different outcome here if they actually...
Well, even worse, if you think about what happened in Baltimore when the final officers were all acquitted of the charges that they had been indicted with by Marilyn Mosby, she actually went to The exact place where the officers first encountered Freddie Gray in Baltimore, where there's a sign in the background that there's a painted graffiti of Freddie Gray, a memorial that says when he died.
She actually went to that exact spot to denounce the legal system as being this implicit bias, this conspiracy of complicit bias, which as Steve Saylor, he jokingly pointed out in a brilliant tweet, Wow, they really believe this vast conspiracy that all these people participate in of implicit bias.
Who's the true conspiracy monger?
But this Eric Garner case, Jared, is really frightening and chilling for a lot of ways because it sets a dangerous precedent that regardless of the thoroughness of your campaign to Of your quest to try and ensure justice.
Let's face it, in any case, there should be justice.
Think about the story down in Louisiana where the two black cops chased the white guy with his kid in the car.
He actually had his hands up and they shot in the car anyways, killing his five-year-old son.
We want to find out what happened.
In any case, in any situation, and in a case that was so publicized as this one, it is important to make sure that, hey, guess what?
You guys are wrong. The media was wrong to blow this up.
The NBA players who wore I Can't Breathe shirts.
You can look this up.
All the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, all the top black stars, they tried to promote this myth.
I can't breathe, which is even more fallacious than the entire hands up, don't shoot.
To have the Department of Justice come in.
A Department of Justice, mind you, that has donated 97% of donations to the President campaign, to Hillary Clinton's campaign.
You're talking about the employees?
The employees of the DOJ. And it's very important also to note that Hillary has already said Loretta Lynch will stay on as the Attorney General of the Department of Justice if she defeats Donald Trump.
Oh, Loretta Lynch is Hillary's kind of girl, no question about it.
But to me, it is really quite incredible how openly and transparently political this case has become.
The guys in New York who have had two years to look into this and conclude there is no civil rights case, We're good to go.
That's pretty good for a guy, a prosecutor.
Prosecutors are the guys who always think the worst.
And here's a guy saying they are just throwing this poor guy to the dogs to appease an angry mob of demonstrators.
Remember your Tom Wolfe.
Remember your Bonfire of the Vanities.
We are at a point now where the steam control, there's no one controlling anymore.
There's no Reverend Bacon. They are in control now for the levers of power.
Whereas before in Tom Wolfe's book, The Reverend had to work with the powers that be to keep this team in control.
But guess what? We learned back in 2009 that the Department of Justice had already crossed that racial Rubicon.
They decided not to go even though there are a number of employees the DOJ said there was a case
being made about voter intimidation because of what happened with the Black Panthers,
the new Black Panther Party, and that famous photo of them standing in front of the voter booth
or the polling place. They made it quite clear that Eric Holder said that hate crime laws don't
protect white people. He said it over again. They decided not to prosecute the Black Panthers for
voter intimidation. We knew then and we of course knew after Eric Holder the day that they decided
there was that Darren Wilson did nothing wrong. They put out that ridiculous report trying to
show that because 80% of the arrests in a city that's 70% black were of black people,
somehow that the Ferguson Police Department is participating in racial profiling.
I agree with you with the great significance of what happened in 2009.
That case against the Black Panthers, it was in Philadelphia, right, where they were intimidating voters.
And the photographs are really quite clear.
They're there with their berets and their billy clubs and their jack boots and their leather jackets and they're telling people not to vote.
And the DOJ had a very good case all prepared.
They were just shy of actually filing on it.
Eric Holder comes in and says, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Not a problem. Not a problem.
No, that was a very significant thing.
That was a black day, if I dare use such a color, for justice in the United States.
Nice pun. Yes.
But we will see what will happen in this Daniel Pantaleo case.
I hope, I hope that even with this politicized Loretta Lynch in the driver's seat, that they refrain from making these charges.
But I think she can't control herself.
She simply cannot control herself.
She is so wrapped up in this injustice stuff that the evidence is not going to matter.
And if it goes to any kind of fair-minded jury, the guys are going to get off.
But she has made this guy's life a living hell.
This poor guy, this police officer, Pantalea, will probably never work again.
I mean, he's on a desk job in New York City.
We'll see. But that's justice for you of the United States today, and it's the kind of thing we can expect more of and worse of if we have a certain outcome on November 8th.
In any case, let's move on to one of our frequent subjects, and that is Donald Trump.
As you have pointed out, Donald Trump has now been making a particular appeal to blacks.
Tell me about the kind of appeal he's making here.
I mean, that... That'll put it over the top quite significantly in North Carolina.
Same thing with Virginia. I mean, just imagine we're learning now that voter turnout in heavily black areas of Virginia is down significantly since 2012.
So Donald Trump gives this speech, and he basically promises a new deal for blacks, as if the old deal of...
Of siphoning white taxpayer money to have economic empowerment zones of the Jack Kemp variety hasn't worked so swimmingly.
Basically, Donald Trump says that his deal is grounded in three promises.
Safe communities, great education, and high paying jobs.
End quote. Of course, this fails to understand that these black communities We're good to go.
The less social capital, the less high trust you have.
And that's the problem with what Donald Trump has said.
Because the idea that these communities aren't safe is because, well, they're majority black.
And unfortunately, individual black people collectively make these communities unsafe.
Just as they make the schools, they have an inability to achieve the standards that white people have set, or Asians.
And more importantly...
There aren't any high paying jobs because any owner of capital who wants to invest in that area with...
The business has to basically have a lot of theft.
And more importantly, they have to hide their...
If you've ever seen some of the businesses in Baltimore, they have to hide their employees behind Plexiglas.
The entire store, there's an amazing photo on Google.
If you look up Baltimore Plexiglas, and it's a convenience store where there's a door you open, and then you have just a little area to stand, and there's a Lazy Susan where...
The employee will get you your item.
The entire store is behind plexiglass.
That is how you have to do business in a majority black community.
I think Donald Trump probably does not understand that.
Donald Trump has probably never been in such a store.
Donald Trump probably has never walked through an African American, a black community.
And that is why he is capable of saying such things as this.
And I quote from the speech.
African American citizens have sacrificed so much for our nation.
They fought and died in every war since the Revolution, and from the pews and the picket lines, they've lifted up the conscience of our country in the long march for civil rights.
Yet, too many African Americans have been left behind.
So, he is going to give them enterprise zones and all kinds of encouragement.
But this is a statement that seems to me that comes from Donald Trump's heart.
Obviously, you could say that this is good politics.
He wants to get at least some of the black vote.
He also wants to impress white women who are moving away from his campaign and let them think, no, he's got a conscience.
He is a sincere and compassionate man after all.
But I think it's more than that.
I think Donald Trump really does not understand racial differences.
And he thinks that with enough enterprise zones, with enough policing, with enough money spent on education, I suspect he really does think that black people can turn out just like white people.
What do you think about that?
Well, remember his words when Justice Scalia had such truthful things to say about affirmative action.
And Donald Trump says, oh, I don't agree with that.
This was about a month before Justice Scalia passed away.
And I believe this was the big case on affirmative action.
Was it Texas? No, it was the university case.
Yes, it was the University of Texas.
Anyways, the point is, Scalia made some very cogent remarks about affirmative action.
And... I think?
In that moment of clarity, you saw the real Donald Trump's heart.
He really does, just as his speech says, he really does believe this.
I mean, we project our views of, because Donald Trump has said some things about sanctuary cities and immigration and so many wonderful things.
And he really has. He's really changed the course of, potentially changed the course of history for the West.
And in terms of that we couldn't even comprehend a year ago what's going on.
However, he truly does in his heart believe the quotation you just made that African Americans have been left behind
as opposed to black people have regressed civilizations that they have become the majority of a community.
I think of Selma, Alabama.
You know, Selma, Alabama is now 80% black.
And every year the leaders of our civilization, they go down to Selma to cross the bridge.
It's an exercise of white masochism, of white guilt.
They basically go down there to absolve themselves of it, crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
However, in 2015, during the March, Jesse Jackson famously said that we should stop white businesses from being able
to leave.
There should be a law against it.
And that kind of flies in the face of what Donald Trump is saying here.
It's not that they've been left behind.
It's that... When left to their own devices, white business owners or owners of capital realize that they can't turn a profit.
They can't stay in the black when they're surrounded by blacks, if we can have another pun.
No, I think this is really Donald Trump's true views, which makes it...
All the more astonishing that he has been accused of white supremacy, bigotry, every name in the book.
It just goes to show you that all it takes is the slightest deviation from the required orthodoxies on race or immigration or anything at all, really.
And all of a sudden, the sky falls on you.
Here's a guy... I'm absolutely convinced that he believes these things.
He's never really talked about race in any significant way.
He's never talked about anything about blacks being in any way responsible for their circumstances.
Well, that's a bridge too far to believe that blacks have personal responsibility.
I mean, again, Donald Trump is under this assumption that the black population in America represents our great asset, when, in fact, I argue that blacks represent the greatest liability imaginable.
No, no, they're an underused asset.
You know, you've seen these calculations when people say, look, if blacks had the same education as whites, our GNP would grow by 20% a year.
It's all this assumption that somehow we have deprived them of all of these productive tools that they could make use of.
No, no, you've got it all wrong, Mr.
Kersey. But any case, well, speaking of Trump, There was a really interesting rundown, I thought, at the website polizet.com of all of the incidents of anti-Trump violence that have taken place all around the country, not only at his rallies, but just people walking around with a Trump hat on or a Trump pin.
This is the sort of thing that does not get reported nationally.
And I thought it was great that Polysat had this whole list of people being beat up, people having their cars daubed with paint.
All we ever hear about, of course, is that firebombing of the Republican Party headquarters in Orange County, which was pretty bad.
And you remember it was graffitied with Nazi Republicans, get out of town or else.
Well, think about what just happened in Hollywood.
Hmm. This guy goes and actually breaks the Donald Trump star in Hollywood.
It's on film. He's breaking it on film.
It took a couple days to arrest him because I believe that a lot of people who are in control of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County pulling the political levers, they completely agree with what he did.
So they're a hero.
It's just like the guy who tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
Do you remember what happened? CNN actually interviewed him after he was let out on bail.
So, I mean, and that's a forgotten incident that someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
I mean, this is, this happened.
And this is, and then, and we're told somehow that we, you know, we're, we're, we're bad because Donald Trump and a couple rallies months ago, you know, said out, out, out, you know, regarding the people who are trying to cause disruption as events, which we learned through WikiLeaks that, hey, guess what?
This was largely paid for by the Democrats.
Yeah. That's right.
And thanks to James O'Keefe, we've talked to the guys who actually hired some of the people who went in to cause this violence.
But the left, the media, would have this idea absolutely burned into our brains that violence comes from the right.
It comes from Donald Trump.
Well, no. I've never heard...
Have you heard of a single incident of a Hillary supporter being attacked by a Trump supporter?
Have you ever heard of one? There have been a couple, but guess what happens?
It turns out that...
There's video evidence of what took place and that it was exaggerated.
I think there was one story where a woman said that she was pushed down and then they actually went back sort of like the whole Michelle Fields incident.
Like, well, guess what? This is on film.
This didn't happen that way.
In fact, you completely made this up.
Yes. To me, this is like...
It's clearly a one-way street, but we are taught to believe that it's one way absolutely the other way.
Well, let me put it this way. If there had been any violence, we wouldn't...
We wouldn't hear the end of it.
It would be even worse than the whole sexual harassment that, as famously, you know, the other day on Fox News, Megyn Kelly tried to keep bringing that up over and over again with Newt Gingrich.
That's what it would be like.
It would be even worse because, you know, that was a tape from 2005 and all these people keep coming forward saying, oh, this happened decades ago.
Well, if violence had happened and, you know, I'll just say this quickly, you know, God forbid we're only 11 days from the election.
That could be the thing that finally the media says, aha, look at Donald Trump causing this violence.
And you can watch some really powerful videos.
To me, Jared, the one that makes me so upset, there are two.
The one in San Jose, the white woman being harassed and thrown eggs and all these, obviously
it looks like illegal aliens attacking her.
And then the white guy who's walking and just gets sucker punched and starts bleeding.
I mean, again, the only people who want to cover this are the websites you mentioned
and a couple of other websites that regrettably...
Have virtually no voice when it comes to mainstream access.
But you know, it's interesting to me.
We are apparently not the only people reading the news.
Because, as you know, many polling stations are in public schools.
And in states all across the country, what they're doing is they're deciding to give the students the day off.
Or they're moving the polling out of the schools for fear of potential violence.
Now, this is going to happen in Illinois, in Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and a number of other states as well.
Now, I would be curious to know, these people who made these rules, are they worried about Trump supporters attacking Hillary supporters?
I don't think so.
I think, you know, we always think in terms of how the media conceal all this stuff, and they do.
But the news does trickle out and I think everybody knows where the potential for violence is coming and that's why they're making these decisions about the polling places and schools.
Now it seems to me we really are descending to third world levels when you have got to clear out a school of students in order to permit the citizens to vote.
What does that tell you about the state of politics in this country?
I don't think people realize.
We've seen glimpses of what could potentially happen when, in Virginia, I've read that illegal aliens are out canvassing and promoting Hillary.
And I believe, you know, I rarely like to make predictions, but I do believe we're going to see a lot of agitation by illegal aliens in some important states like Arizona.
I think we'll see some in Texas.
I think states that are now border states like Georgia, South Carolina.
North Carolina, Virginia on Election Day.
We're going to see some of this stuff.
And the news is going to be forced to report on this.
In other words, you think that at polling stations, there will be mobs of illegal aliens trying to intimidate voters?
I'm not sure I expect that.
Well, my belief is this.
And the story we just talked about, the violence that's gone against Trump supporters, a number of people are continuing to say, and I've got friends who are not political at all.
They're very pro-Trump.
And they're even fearful of putting pro-Trump messages on social media because someone will take a picture of it and then there could be ramifications of potential job loss because of this.
These are normal people who don't read the news as much as we do, who are believing this.
And Scott Adams, the guy who created Dilbert, believes that 10 to 15 to maybe 20% of Trump's support out there Has kept quiet.
Because of this fear of reprisal.
Because they understand what could happen if they do put out a Trump sign.
If they put a sticker on their car.
If they like a Donald Trump post on Facebook or Twitter.
And I think that the evidence of why these people are...
They're very smart to do this.
We live in a country now that it is a...
We live in a soft leftist totalitarian state.
It's becoming increasingly obvious.
We could mention many individuals who have had their lives completely ruined for voicing unorthodox views on race, as you pointed out earlier.
And to support Donald Trump now, I mean, gosh, this is probably a perfect segue into what you wanted to talk about next, and that's Yingling Beer.
That's right. Yingling Beer is the oldest American brewery.
And I remember reading the other day in an article at the Philadelphia Inquirer, a white liberal columnist was irate.
He was irate that...
The brewer, that the family in charge of Yingling, they all endorsed Donald Trump.
They're all very pro-American.
And there's a picture of Eric Trump with the owner of Yingling.
And this guy's like, I will never drink.
I'll never drink Yingling again.
I'm a big beer connoisseur, big fan of beer.
Because they've now done something that is unforgivable.
They've endorsed Donald Trump.
That's right. No, there are fancy pubs and bars in cities all around the country who are now promising to take Yingling off their shelves.
They're taking them out of their taps.
No, this is going to be apparently a big campaign against Yingling Beer because they want to vote for the Republican candidate.
You know, the left has this...
It styles itself as so tolerant and so open, so loving of diversity.
They are the most intolerant people anywhere.
You're absolutely right. We live under a kind of a soft totalitarianism that most people don't realize at all.
It's only when it gets you in your clutches, and when it gets you in your clutches, it's because you have deviated, and so many people are brainwashed to think that, well, those deviants deserved it anyway.
But more and more people are waking up, I'm convinced.
Well, not only that, on that note, I would encourage every listener out there, regardless of if you are a fan of beer, go out and buy a six-pack of England.
Go to your grocery store and buy a six-pack.
And as you open it up and you hear that...
That first sip, remember that that's the oldest brewery in America and their owner, I can't remember his name, he said, we support Donald because his view of America is our view of America.
And that was an awesome quote.
And I think that there are a lot of business owners out there who feel the same way.
There's a great video of the actor, Jean-Claude Van Damme, who throughout the whole video, TMZ is trying to get him to say something about Trump and at the end he says, America needs Trump.
And I think a lot of people believe that.
And again, you and I have talked about this before.
We've mentioned what his true beliefs are.
We projected stuff to our views on Donald Trump, which I believe is the most important issue of them all, and that is race.
I do want to say this about Donald.
Though he might not be with us on race, Donald Trump was never the vehicle that was going to turn things around.
He is the key that opens the door.
On November 9th, if he is the president-elect, The world has changed in ways that we won't be able to measure for decades.
I agree. It will be an absolutely earth-shaking event.
The door is unlocked at that point, and it's our job to find a way to push through.
Okay. Well, our last subject for today is the flash mob attacks in Philadelphia last Friday.
Apparently, these social media messages went out.
Young blacks, an estimated 200 of them, gathered and started attacking Temple University students.
You know, Temple University, and especially the law school, which is a little further north, that really isn't a terrible, terrible part of Philadelphia.
Well, like so many of our best schools in the country, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, Princeton, they're all in areas.
They're this... They're this beacon of hope surrounded by darkness.
That's because they were built back in the days when our cities were livable.
That's right. And now the cities have become unlivable and it'd be difficult to move Columbia University entirely out of Manhattan.
You can't white flight university is what you're saying.
No, no. It's a hard thing to do.
In any case...
What was interesting about these, about these riots, this flash mob, you know, they were not all that serious by contemporary standards.
You know, apparently six Temple University students were beat up and injured.
Two campus police officers were injured.
Who knows how many were robbed?
There's probably quite a large number who were robbed.
They only made four arrests.
But what was very interesting to me is the way the black commentators reacted to this.
Yeah, I know. There were two columnists.
One, Solomon Jones at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The title of his column was, Behind Temple Attacks, Rage Often Comes with Exclusion.
If I may read to you the quote, In a city where poverty is concentrated outside universities, we can't truly expect the poor to watch jobs and wealth and excess pass them by without any reaction at all.
They are expressing the rage that comes with exclusion.
They are expressing the hurt that comes with invisibility.
They are engaged in the inevitable push and pull of change.
End quote. Now, this author actually mentioned that it was blacks who were the participants in these attacks, in these shockingly violent attacks.
I mean, again, if you've read the story of...
The girl who was attacked, her dad posted on Facebook that it was 30 to 40 blacks.
You could feel the rage in this guy's comments.
It was actually pretty epic.
That's the kind of thing you don't see anymore.
We see so many horrible stories of people willing to forgive.
I think of the Amanda Blackburn incident in Indianapolis where her husband, Davey Blackburn, said he hopes that the people who killed his wife and his unborn child will find Jesus.
That's his greatest hope of all this.
Well, this dad is basically like, hey, I'm ready to pull a Charlie Bronson here.
And that's exciting in a way that, you know, again, my whole theory is this, Jared.
You mentioned this earlier off the mic.
We see these attacks all the time, and inevitably, one of these moments in a state like Pennsylvania, which is an open carry state with the Castle Doctrine, you're going to see someone with a concealed carry license who's carrying for precisely this reason.
And that's when the Titanic moment happens.
That's when the iceberg is hit and there's no going back.
I am very surprised it hasn't happened yet.
If I were carrying and 30 or 40 blacks were attacking me or somebody that I love, I think I'd use that weapon.
I would think twice about it, given my circumstances and my background, because I am the last guy who's going to get off on legitimate self-defense.
You wouldn't get George Zimmerman.
Sorry about that. No, no.
But some guy, I've thought about that myself, some guy is going to pull a weapon and start shooting.
And who knows what that will lead to?
Of course, there will be an absolute legal lynch mob against such a person, led perhaps by the eponymous Loretta Lynch.
But in any case, yes, I thought this idea that this Black Flash mob is...
Engaging in the inevitable push and pull of change.
Now, isn't that a sweet way to describe this kind of virulent, anti-white violence?
That's the push and pull of change, explains this black guy.
Well, remember three or four years ago when Michael Nutter, the black mayor of Philadelphia, got so upset because there was that article in the Philadelphia Monthly magazine, White in Philly, which talked about how...
It was a liberal white writer who wrote the article and interviewed a lot of liberal white people who expressed the dismay of living in a city where there was such virulent, there was such overt anti-white racism.
Now, I've looked at the Philadelphia Homicide Report.
It's published every year. Unfortunately, the 2015 report hasn't come out yet.
The end of 2016. But it shows that non-fatal shootings and homicides are...
There's a... Sadly, as most often the case, in a city that's majority black and has a large white minority, there is a lot of black-on-white crime and virtually no white-on-black crime.
You think about what happened.
One of the things about this whole incident, and it is so obviously about race, and yet another Philadelphia Inquirer, a black columnist, Jared, her name is Janice Armstrong, who literally every column she writes is about race.
It's about noticing, you know, white racism against blacks or...
Or gay racism against gay blacks was one of her recent columns.
She actually said, stop trying to make the temple attacks about race in her column, which appeared a day after Solomon Jones wrote about how he was dismayed that these attacks were perpetrated by black teens.
And some of the language she used in there was just incredible about, you know, oh, they're just teens, you know, this happens all the time, violence happens to anyone white or black.
That's right. Yeah, and she mentioned that she felt when she went to a majority black HBCU that she was fearful of being a victim of black violence.
I don't know if I've really ever read an article where people are fearful of being a victim of white violence.
Because black violence is so concentrated.
America is a big country.
And yeah, there are a lot of white-on-white crime.
There is. But it's not...
It's isolated.
It's not concentrated. It doesn't happen with the frequency.
You don't see a city like Portland or Seattle or Austin, Texas have nine fatal shootings and 35 non-fatal shootings in the weekend like Chicago or Baltimore.
Or other majority or heavily black cities have.
Well, I found it quite astonishing that given that every single perpetrator we know about was black, every single victim we know about was white, and she's saying, no, no, those patterns don't exist.
And yet, whenever you have a police action, which can be only a slight statistical deviation from the actual population percentages.
What is it? Blacks are maybe 35% to 45% more likely to have some sort of fatal encounter with the police under similar circumstances.
You have these sort of ambiguous situations.
Then the pattern is absolute.
Absolute. It indicts everyone.
Exactly. All police.
All white police. So, in any case, we have this very apparently deep thinker, Janice Armstrong, who is insisting that race had nothing to do with it.
So, well, I think we will call it a day.
Brother Kersey, thank you very much for being on.
And just remember, race had nothing to do with it.
Race always has everything to do with everything.
All right. Till next time.
