Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of Renaissance Radio, our weekly podcast.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with us in the studio is Paul Kersey.
And Mr.
Kersey, I think you were particularly eager to talk about one of the latest hate crime hoaxes.
That took place at the Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado Springs.
Could you outline the case for us, if you would?
Let me give you a little background about the Preparatory School.
This is very important because this is not the actual Air Force Academy.
This is where students...
The Air Force Academy is one of the whitest institutions in the country.
Back in the mid-2000s, there were a lot of people who were aghast at how Christian the institution was.
The football coach, Fisher DeBerry, famously said that the reason why the Air Force Academy was losing was because their standards were so high and they couldn't recruit enough fast black athletes.
And this was in the mid-2000s.
He got in a lot of trouble for pointing out HBD-type realities about sports.
So the preparatory school is where students who don't have the grades, don't have the ACT, SAT score to get in, immediately they are shuttled to have one year to see if they are going to be able to acclimate, assimilate to the academic rigors.
Because the Air Force Academy, I had a lot of friends who went to the Air Force Academy.
I had a couple friends who went to the preparatory school.
It is important that you understand you're going to go to the Air Force Academy.
You're going to do a lot of engineering, a lot of mathematics.
So as we know, we live in a world where math has now been deemed racist.
You've got a lot of potential black athletes who in high school excelled at athletics, but they weren't prepared for the academic rigors of the Air Force Academy.
So they're at the preparatory school there in Colorado Springs.
Yeah, it's kind of a remedial session for people who can't make it right as they should.
Understand the Air Force Academy has 37 sports teams on it.
They got to really recruit heavily to compete.
And so, yes, they have this...
I don't want to attack all students there because there are only so many slots available for freshman cadets.
So a lot of times if there are quality cadets that can't get in in the initial phase, they will be put there sort of, it's kind of known as a gray shirt.
So you'll be a five-year student as opposed to a four-year student.
So there are very good students who are Because of the merit-based system that requires to get the Air Force Academy.
They do go to the preparatory school just because the Academy has deemed them, we want this person.
So I don't want to cast dispersions on everyone, but for African Americans who attend, yes, it is an opportunity to acclimate yourself.
Which brings us to...
What I would argue is one of the more shocking hate crime hoaxes that has happened because of the reaction and then the investigation and then subsequently, Mr.
Taylor, what happened after the whole incident was exposed as yet again.
Okay, you have whetted our appetites.
Please proceed. So this was about, my goodness, was this five months ago when this took place?
It was in September, back in September. In September.
What ends up happening is that the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in September led a sweeping probe by Academy Police and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations because there was, yet again, some racial white supremacist paraphernalia found written in a student's dorm room.
Five black students.
Apparently, they have these little message boards outside their rooms.
And five students, five black students, had the usual N-word stuff written on their message boards, apparently.
And as you say, this resulted in just a tremendous soul-searching and investigation.
The Academy Police and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations looked into it.
I wonder just how much that cost, by the way.
We'll probably never, ever see that figure.
Well, we'll also never know if they even called in, like, the FBI to come in and do forensics on the handwriting.
What we do know, though, Mr.
Taylor, is that this happened in the shadows of Charlottesville when the moral climate was at a crescendo against so-called white supremacists, Nazis, and the alt-right.
And Lieutenant General Jay Slaveria used this as an opportunity to gather all the cadets, all the staff, To lecture them.
And he used the word, well, I'll just quote.
You know, he connected the racial slurs that were written, quote, the backdrop of what's going on in our country, things like Charlottesville and Ferguson and the protests in the NFL. If you can't treat someone with dignity and respect, then get out, unquote. He used the word get out multiple times.
Yes. Mr.
Taylor, once again, we see that the narrative of Ferguson has seeped into lore as if what the media presented actually transpired.
You've got a lieutenant general of the Air Force, a guy who has marinated in the political climate and has to continue to use these tropes to rise to the highest levels, the highest echelons of our vaunted military.
You know, there was a video made of his talk, and I watched the video, and he has got this enormous, it looks like a field house, full of students and staff.
They're all standing at attention while he talks.
He's way up high and he's looking down on them.
It's almost like Caesar addressing the legions.
And he tells them over and over again, you have to respect each other.
He tells us, you people don't even belong in America if you behave this way towards these black people.
It's a very vigorous denunciation.
It went on YouTube. It got more than 1.2 million views.
And some people started saying, hey, this guy needs to run for higher office on the strength of a 10-minute speech.
People are always saying he's presidential material.
But anyway, of course, then the denouement was not what Lieutenant General Jay Silveria actually expected.
No, it wasn't.
But I'd like to go back to that speech because...
If you haven't seen this yet and you're listening to this podcast, stop the podcast for just a second and watch a little of it.
Because after he gave the speech, as Mr.
Taylor alluded to, this speech went viral.
NPR was talking about, my gosh, this is the message white America needs to hear right now.
You had Huffington Post.
You had Salon. You had Slate.
You had MSNBC. This was a wet dream come true, for lack of a better term.
Here's a guy who knows exactly what to say.
Right.
when it comes to now writing these horrible slurs and participating in hate at one of America's
elite institutions.
Because the way it was presented, Mr. Taylor, was that it was at the Air Force Academy.
When you read the initial report, and I went back and I looked at some of it, every article
made it seem like it by the headline that this is at the Air Force Academy.
And as we know, the Air Force is too white.
The Air Force officers, just two years ago, there was an article about how the officers class in the Air Force, how the officer corps is too white.
It doesn't look like America. This was in the Air Force.
This is in the military times.
These are in the preeminent publications.
The other thing I would say about this J. Silveria, by the way, it sounds as though from his name he could be Hispanic, but he doesn't look that way at all.
He looks like the perfect, handsome, clean-cut military guy.
He makes a very great impression.
And I think the fact that you had this very military, dignified-looking, handsome guy standing in for white America, denouncing white bigotry, I think that's what added to this excitement over his talk.
Well, of course, what happens after the investigation, which what happens after all these investigations, these incidents, whether it's the church burning in Mississippi right before the election when somebody wrote the racial slur, turns out to be one of the black members of the church.
Now, Mr. Kersey, don't exaggerate.
Not necessarily all.
There's probably a handful of genuine hate crimes out there.
But I didn't mean to interrupt.
No, you're right. You're right. At this point, we've reached that level of...
Saturation, almost.
Yeah. I mean, you look at all these...
It's like the boy who cried wolf.
You're right. There are probably some that are transpiring.
However, the...
The intensity in which these are promoted has reached a level that you realize the media is salivating for the one to be true and then to just run with it and to use that to immediately have Hollywood option a movie based on it.
This one would have been perfect but of course as we find out the gentleman who actually wrote this horrible message was the black cadet who reported it himself.
That's right. That's right.
Yes, another sad, inexplicable tale.
And it turned out that he was in difficulties of some kind.
And this is often the reason why people do this.
It's not just to get the kind of slobbering on that people always get if they're alleged to be a victim of racism.
He probably had, he'd failed a test or something like that.
And so this is to get out of a tight spot.
But anyway, apparently he's now no longer at the school.
We're not told whether he's been expelled or whether he voluntarily withdrew.
We don't even know his name.
Because you have to protect the privacy of people like this, after all.
But anyway, of course, what was as remarkable as the whole thing was, of course, the Lieutenant General's reaction afterwards.
This to me was so shocking because I read this on a couple blogs that this had been exposed and then I went and I did a quick Google search to try and find out his reaction.
I just want to see based on the fact that he was the poster child for the assault using, of course, the initial story as a way to attack all the cadets as being somehow complicit in this act.
Well... Our friend, the Lieutenant General, he actually came out and, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette, decided to double down on his get-out speech.
Quote, regardless of the circumstances under which those words were written, they were written.
And that deserved to be addressed.
You can never overemphasize the need for a culture of dignity and respect.
Hey, and those who don't understand those concepts...
Aren't welcome here. Unquote.
He actually wrote this as a letter to all the cadets at both the Air Force Academy and the Air Force Preparatory School where the incident took place.
And I know a couple things about the Air Force.
And I know that there's a code.
We will not lie, steal, nor cheat, nor tolerate those among us who do that the Air Force officers...
It's a creed. And of course this black cadet, well, he lied.
And guess what?
One of the largest proponents and advocates of that lie was this lieutenant general who decides to...
Not trying to brush this aside as a hoax, but he decides to continue to use this as a teachable moment against systemic racism.
So far as I can tell, he did not have one word of criticism for the black guy who did this.
Not one word. He says it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if it's a hoax because there is so much racism everywhere in the world, everywhere in America, everywhere in the Air Force Academy, that this is an opportunity to denounce it.
Now, I might point out that when I wrote Pave the Good Intentions back in 1991, I believe it was, I included in it an incident that this whole thing reminded me of.
It was a woman by the name of Sabrina Collins.
She was a student at Emory University, and she was obviously an affirmative action admit, and she was really getting behind on her exams.
Well, she started faking these hate crimes and claimed to be so traumatized she rolled up into a fetal ball and stayed in bed all day.
And, oh, she got all the kinds of love and support and care and don't worry about your exams, darling, stuff, just what she wanted.
Well, then that turned out to be a hoax.
And, just like the Lieutenant General, the President of Emory Universe, says, it doesn't matter that it was a hoax.
This all happens so frequently, it's so widespread, that we must denounce it.
Not one word of criticism of poor Sabrina Collins.
I wonder what Sabrina's up to these days.
I suspect she hasn't had to leave it down.
It's very unusual that you get someone like Tawana Brawley, who years later is actually tracked down and confronted with this sort of stuff.
No, no, no. You pat them on the head.
Or in the case of the Air Force prep school guy, we don't even know his name.
We'll never know his name. So no, we pat them on the head.
There's an interesting thing that we'd be remiss not to point out, Mr.
Taylor. Yes. And that is that the Air Force right now has a shortage of pilots.
By 2000, because right now the airlines are going through the Delta, your US Airways, your Southwest.
They're trying to recruit a lot of young pilots because so many of their long-term pilots are retiring.
65 is the age that I retire.
They've got to replenish those, train them.
So the Air Force is running out of pilots.
Now you, when we talked not that long ago about if there are so many wonderful female IT engineers out there that a company should be able to utilize that talent and become an economic juggernaut then.
I know a lot about the Air Force and a couple years ago there was a black Air Force general who complained about how less than 0.1% of the pilots were black and how we have an opportunity here to really recruit.
Now you would think that the Air Force would start sending recruiters into urban schools across the country.
High school is to try and get them to understand, hey, you can follow in the steps of the Tuskegee Airmen and you can be the next generation of American fighter pilots.
But of course, we know that that isn't going to be the case because of the enormous mathematical aptitude one must have to even get into the Air Force Academy.
But then remember, it's so important to point this out because I don't think these statistics are available of what percentage of the preparatory school are actually non-white.
Because we know how white the Air Force Academy is.
Remember, this is lamented all the time by the mainstream media.
But what percentage of those non-white students who get to enroll in the preparatory school, this affirmative action program, actually then make it to the Air Force?
Academy. And then, because when you go to the Air Force Academy, if you go through freshman and sophomore, you're then vested once you join your junior year.
I know this because I had a friend who actually had to leave after his junior year and the government wanted him to pay back the amazing tuition that he had his freshman and sophomore year.
Right. And, you know, because it's a lot of money that the taxpayers, you and I and everyone listening, are actually paying for the Air Force Academy.
But I would just love to know.
All of this, of course, ties into our elite...
Worshiping and this divinity that egalitarian thinking has.
And this, of course, when you have a story like this, a student, this black cadet, should never have even been anywhere near Colorado Springs at the preparatory school or had his name in consideration for the Air Force Academy, Mr.
Taylor. Well, you're making assumptions here, but you're probably correct.
We don't know anything about his academic record.
We just do know that he was in trouble.
Probably academic trouble.
And we also know that the story is once again used as a catalyst for perpetuating this idea of implicit bias and systemic racism at the Air Force Academy and is used as a teachable moment.
Yes, well, the other teachable moment, apparently, was that of the 21-year-old black man named Dontarius Williams.
This happened near Kansas State University.
And here's a guy who had written all sorts of racist graffiti on his car.
And the incident provoked a lot of controversy around Kansas State University because this fellow Dontarius claimed to the Kansas City Star that he was a student.
And that he was run off campus because of all of this awful stuff.
So the student body and the administration went into a huge uproar about racism.
Well, it turned out he was never a student and he wrote the stuff himself.
And, you know, it's interesting to me that there have been enough incidents of this kind recently so that the mainstream media has begun to notice.
They've begun to notice that there are some that are hoaxes.
And the Washington Post of November 8th, just a few days ago.
They had this fairly long article about it.
They poo-pooed the idea that there were very many of these.
We must remember these are just minor incidents or very infrequent, and they don't detract from the huge number of genuine hatred that is roiling and bubbling out there.
But then they went on to say, and I quote, It's unclear exactly what prompts people to commit these hoaxes.
This to me is an expression of such naivete, and I noticed that even in the comments section.
Many people were pointing out, it's obvious why they do this.
The tremendous amount of sympathy that is evoked for all of these alleged victims.
It's obvious that they profit enormously from this.
And whenever you have a case, a bunch of accusations on a college campus, All sorts of racism is on the march.
That is the key bargaining tool to get more money for black student centers, more money for black studies majors, more money for this, more money for that.
It is the perfect way to shake down Whitey.
And for the Washington Post to be unable to conceive of this obviously, absolutely obvious fact, just going to show you how willfully blind they are.
What's going to be interesting to see is after we saw the reaction to the It's Okay to be White Flyers that appeared on college campuses, and I would encourage people, once again, it's important, keep your message simple.
There's no point to put a URL on a message of that nature because the message itself stands alone.
There's no point to try and advocate for something else when the reaction to the message illustrates just how One-sided the conversation is on campuses.
So don't worry about putting a URL on there if you're listening, if you're a college kid.
Just put the message up. You're going to get a much better response than trying to tie it to a website.
But Mr. Taylor, it's going to be interesting to see if, as you see these hoaxes continue, if somebody tries to use that and say they were attacked or something, using that image and saying that this climate of hate that exists because it's okay to be white...
Oh, the ADL recently put out a report trying to debunk the idea that many of these are hoaxes.
And they cited as examples the kind of posters that have been put out by American Renaissance.
The ones that say, be proud to be white.
Don't deny your white heritage.
These are genuine examples of hate crimes, according to the ADL. And so there you go.
These hoaxes are just a tiny, tiny sample.
They're just a tiny, tiny exceptions.
All of this stuff is real. But yeah, on the It's Okay to be White, the latest that I read about, the latest place they appeared was at Harvard Law School.
Harvard Law School. And the dean of the Harvard Law School said that this is an attempt to divide us.
They're all upset. They sent this message to everyone, trying to calm them down.
No, of course they read minds at every opportunity, you know.
She says, they're trying to divide us.
Well, they're just trying to point out a double standard.
They're just trying to point out something that should be so obvious.
Isn't it okay to be white?
Every one of these reactions is implicitly a denial.
It's an implicitly saying, it's not okay to be white.
And it's great to have them expressing it so explicitly.
Well, it's not just implicit, but the statements such as this reaction and the reaction we've seen at some schools in Minnesota, we've seen from student body presidents, and by the news coverage, explicitly is almost stating it's not okay to be white.
Like, how dare you put these out?
Right. And it all coalesces back to this whole concept of these hate crimes.
When you think about what's going on on college campuses, you think about the And liberal arts programs, the type of lectures and classes that white students are forced to sit through.
And then you think about how Black students or people of color are also in these classes.
The other day, I saw the story.
You might remember this story.
The Muslim who said she was attacked right after the election.
And then it turned out that she was late coming home and her brothers were going to be worried.
She's actually standing trial now because of this.
That trial is going on right now.
And you rarely see people...
You rarely see consequences for the actions of this.
In the Kansas State case, I recall reading that Dontarius is not going to face any crime, any criminal charges.
No, despite the fact that he filed a false police report, and that is a crime.
You're supposed to be prosecuted for this.
The police decided that, I think the line was, this would not be in the interests of the community.
So, you know...
You know, somebody has pointed out that it might be worthwhile if you filed a false report of a hate crime that the punishment should be whatever the hate crime, the punishment would have been for the so-called hate crime.
You'd think if that were actually done a time or two.
But anyway, no, no, the idea of actually punishing these people is apparently anathema to the authorities.
But another news item in the week that ties back to the problem of this overwhelming and loathsome whiteness of the Air Force Academy.
It was just a little item in the news, apparently of Baltimore's 39 high schools.
Thirteen of them had zero students proficient in math.
Zero. Zero. And this is the NAEP, the National Assessment of Education Progress Test, in which the levels are basic, proficient, and advanced.
I mean, forget about advanced.
They're not even proficient.
Thirteen. And, of course, these are overwhelmingly black.
And nine out of ten black boys in the Baltimore City School are not reading at grade level either.
Now, how many of these boys are going to become Air Force pilots?
Zero. Zero.
So we're caught in this horrible dead end because we can't admit the facts about racial differences in competence.
So we end up with this poor guy.
I think you're probably right.
The fellow who was at the Academy Prep School, the Air Force Academy Prep School, was probably way over his head.
He was failing and out of desperation, he did this thing that he knew was going to get a whole lot of attention and he was going to get out of having to do whatever it was he had to do.
And at the same time, he would stir up all of this wonderful stuff about how wicked white people are.
It's a vicious cycle.
You can't get out of it so long as the structure of American thinking and American assumptions and all the taboos that we are not allowed to break, so long as that stands, this is going to be a perpetual vicious cycle.
You know, the Baltimore City Schools story is fascinating.
Baltimore City Schools are roughly 88% black.
And this is where you actually look at yourself.
And if you're coming from our angle, you would say that trying to...
Trying to force white standards upon Africans in America, that actually is implicitly racist.
That actually is a form of racism because the data does show now.
The empirical data, the evidence is so overwhelmingly in our favor to continue to hold these individuals collectively responsible for trying to achieve at the same level.
Let alone Asians, but we're talking about the white average, the white standards.
I mean, you have to ask yourself, Is that not a form of racism?
Well, it's a form of blindness.
It's a form of unwillingness to recognize the facts.
And what happens, of course, is because blacks cannot meet so many white standards, Then the standards have to be lowered so that blacks can be admitted as firefighters or as Harvard students or whatever it is.
And then if it's in a bureaucratic situation like a police academy, then you have to lower standards for everybody.
And so you end up not only with more blacks but more white losers too.
They're really capable people who absolutely all their lives wanted to be firemen or policemen.
They're the ones who are left out in the cold and of course the services that are provided to the public deteriorate.
No, we are caught in this absolute vice of an unwillingness to recognize the facts and the fact of having these populations that are simply different in ability.
But, oh yeah, I forgot to mention that 13 of the 39 high schools had zero proficient in math, and six of the high schools had 1% tested proficient in math, just 1%.
Back in 2012, you probably recall the fascinating Atlanta public city school scandal where teacher pay and teacher promotions were actually based on the ability to promote students and get them basically to be able to graduate to the next level.
Now, of course, it turned out that that was one of the greatest examples of cheating imaginable.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published a hilarious front page where it showed all the individuals who were participating in that scandal.
They were all, of course, black.
Right. A year or two later, the Chicago Public Schools, their union, fought very hard to keep teacher pay and student performance from being associated with one another.
Because even this beacon of just evil liberalism that is the teachers' unions, they understood that it was an insurmountable task to try and improve these scores.
I don't remember the name of the school superintendent who was masterminding all this.
Beverly Hall. Beverly Hall.
She got some kind of special federal award for this remarkable progress that she had engineered.
And it turned out to be all a Potemkin village.
Yeah, yeah. And we never learn.
We just never learn. We are unwilling to face the facts on these matters.
But let's see.
Oh, something that I really didn't want to talk about.
And that is the fact that the D.C. Council, just on Tuesday, they have voted preliminary approval, and it's probably going to go through, to erect an eight-foot-tall bronze statue right outside of City Hall, just a few blocks from the White House, of... Longtime Mayor, Marion Barry.
Marion Barry.
That's right. Marion Barry.
When you think about all of the really noble, high-minded people whose statues are being torn down, and who are we going to put up instead, just a few blocks from the White House, is Marion Barry.
Now, Marion Barry, he was the subject of a book It was called Marion Barry, The Politics of Race, written by a fellow named Jonathan Agronsky.
It came out in 1991.
Well, I read that book about that time, and it is full of really quite hair-raising stuff about Marion Barry.
I remember writing a review of it for American Renaissance.
And I don't like to toot my own horn too much, but it's a great book and it's a great review.
And if I say so myself, the review had a great title.
The title of the review is Kinshasa on the Potomac.
If you look up Kinshasa on the Potomac on the internet, I think the only thing you're going to find is this review, and it's well worth reading.
But I might add just a few excerpts from this guy's background, this guy to whom an admiring eight-foot-tall bronze statue to be erected.
Well, he started off just sort of a small-scale street hustler, one of these racial guys trying to shake down Whitey.
But in 1967...
He got a grant from Lyndon Johnson's labor secretary, Barry Wertz.
And what he was supposed to do was to train, quote, street dudes for useful jobs.
Back in the Lyndon Johnson era, we actually thought that that could be done.
And a black could say, I'm going to train the street dudes, and we're going to keep them off the streets, and we're going to turn them into, I don't know, used car salesmen.
Whatever it was, he was going to train them how to do.
But in the first three years of its existence...
The organization that he set up, Youth Pride, got $9 million, $3 million a year.
In 1967, that was real money.
And guess what happened to some of this money?
I'll let the listener try and think of that for a second.
What probably happened to this $9 million?
What could happen? Well, just two years after it started operating, 17, no fear of them, 17 Youth Pride, Inc.
employees were indicted for embezzlement.
I mean, one pleaded guilty and four were convicted.
And some of the small businesses that were allegedly started with this money became open drug dealerships and fencing operations.
Yeah. Now, it's interesting to me, the corruption of Youth Pride and Mr.
Barry, everything that was happening under Marion Barry's operation, the corruption was so clear that as one black reporter, a fellow by the name of Rich Adams, He said that Youth Pride had a standard answer whenever any white authorities asked pointed questions about where the money was going.
And he said it was like this, and let me quote, and I'm afraid you'll have to plug your ears if you are tender-hearted about contemporary American vocabulary.
The standard answer was, don't ask, honky motherfucker, because if you do, we're going to go out on the streets and we're going to start a riot and say that the white man is trying to destroy black economic progress.
And that scared the living shit out of those liberals who didn't want any trouble.
This is a black explaining the dynamic.
I think he got it absolutely right.
And he wanted to say, so what if Marion and his wife Mary Treadwell got a couple of hundred thousand dollars?
It was worth it to the federal government not to have them stirring shit in the community.
And then the same reporter put it another way, and I think an entirely colorful but entirely accurate way.
He says, this was the chance for the black guy to fuck over the white system.
And Barry did it with style.
It wasn't just rob a 7-11.
It was rob the whole goddamn federal government.
Now, I have to admire the candor of this black reporter putting it in what is probably colorful but extremely accurate terms.
You know, it's fascinating.
H.S. Thompson, Hunter S. Thompson wrote a book called Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail about the 1970 election.
And he talked about when he went to Washington, D.C. for the first time.
Here's this liberal guy from Colorado.
He would leave his keys in his car with a shotgun in it.
And he comes to D.C. and he talks about, will the N-word menace...
Take over Georgetown. This is an actual chapter in the book, and he talks about what life was like after these riots.
The world of Washington, D.C. in the 1970s, where the white staffers would basically run to their cars, the congressional staffers, because they were so worried about being the victims of black crime.
For people who have been to D.C. recently, it is a...
Some people say it's already a majority white city at this point.
It's very close to being that way and it'll never go back to being a city like one where
Marion Barry was able to flourish and he was able to fleece to a point where Mr. Taylor,
the federal government actually had to come in and take over the city.
And we'll get to some of these reasons why that happened, but it's important to note
that the city of Washington, D.C. currently is a repudiation of everything that Marion
Barry stood for.
And that's why it's so important to point out how crazy this city council is for even
considering putting up this monument to a guy who...
Well, there is a reason still.
But in any case, the corruption that continued in him was so bad.
One of his closest aides, Deputy Mayor Ivanhoe Donaldson, he went to jail.
And another deputy mayor, Alphonse Hill, was convicted of extortion, tax evasion, and defrauding the city.
And another aide, Robert B. Robertson, resigned after pleading guilty to embezzlement.
And by the time, after two terms in office, Marion Barry finally left, a full dozen of his chief aides had gone to jail, gone to jail, and plenty of them had left under a cloud.
And while he was a mayor, one of his chief aides actually said later on, he says, I could never figure out whether Marion Barry was interested in anything other than Marion Barry.
In other words, the city could go to hell and he couldn't care less.
But it got so bad that calls to 911 sometimes weren't even answered.
An ambulance might not show up until the next day.
And under his watch, 14 people reportedly died waiting for help that just never came.
That was how bad the city government was.
That was back in the days when it was about 70%, maybe over 70% black.
And in 1989, Washington Monthly Magazine called the Barry administration the worst city government in America.
And now you recall what really got him in trouble, of course, was the fact that he was known to be a regular drug taker.
He would come into city council meetings obviously disoriented.
And this is at the height of the crack academic that was really tearing inner cities apart from Even black people were really clamoring for harsh laws against crack cocaine use.
And in early 1990, the FBI got a former girlfriend of his to lure him into a hotel room and get him to smoke crack.
And they got it on video.
There he is. But as soon as this happened, because Marion Barry was the strong black man sticking it to the honky slave master, black radio stations, black newspapers, black civil rights leaders, even black preachers lined up behind him to say that he was the victim of a racist frame-up.
As one preacher put it, Marion Barry was, quote, in trouble right now because he's too smart, too intelligent, and too black.
Well, he ended up being convicted, but it was really touch and go.
There was, I think, as I recall, there were nine blacks and two whites on the jury, and there was this group of black Five black jurors who were absolutely determined not to convict on anything.
They actually got a conviction on one count, but the judge, the presiding judge, whose name was Thomas Jackson, by the way.
We won't suggest what that suggests.
But anyway, he said this was the most outrageous jury behavior you'd ever seen in his life.
He'd never seen a stronger case, and he got only one conviction.
Jury nullification, yeah.
Jury nullification. In any case, Mary and Barry went to jail for six months.
And all our listeners, of course, are bearing in mind that this is the man who's going to be memorialized in Washington, D.C., alongside all of our heroes.
Another little interesting footnote, during his six-month stay, there was a little bit of a scandal over the fact that he got a female visitor.
You're smiling already.
They have these common areas where people can talk to family members.
Well, the female visitor and Barry got up to a certain kind of activity that is not generally permitted in these visiting areas, but that was part of Barry's way.
Well, so Marion Barry is safely dead, so he will never come back to run Washington, D.C. again, but apparently his spirit will live on in this lovely monument to a strong black man who was too smart, too intelligent, and too black.
He was part of that black mayor, the first wave of black mayors like Coleman Young, Carl Stokes, Maynard Jackson in Atlanta, that you don't see that often anymore because the business...
The people who have a financial stake in these cities, they can't deal with these type of mayors because they're worried about their investments, of course, depreciating.
You, of course, saw the consequences of this with Stephanie Rawlings, Blake, in Baltimore.
She was one of probably the last of these...
Of these provocative blacks who reach a point where they become mayor and they advocate exclusively on behalf of blacks.
Marion Barry, of course, made a comeback.
He became a city council member and he advocated tirelessly to keep white gentrification from happening.
And of course, that hasn't happened in his death.
I think his son actually tried to run and then his son died of a drug overdose.
Yes. And he was going to be one of the chief...
He was going to be one of the individuals who fought his dad's battle to keep gentrification from happening.
And of course, as we know, just like Atlanta, where Atlanta is on the verge of electing their first white mayor since 1973, Washington, D.C. now is at a point where it is almost majority white and it's only going to go as property values start driving blacks out.
It could happen.
Chocolate City may turn vanilla.
But it's fascinating that you think that it's almost a defiant act to make Marion Barry a statue, to give him a statue.
I would like to know what the racial composition of the city council, in fact, is.
I think it must be majority black.
No majority white group, with the slightest research, would even consider putting up a statue to this degenerate.
It's just not thinkable.
Even in today's ultimately degenerate white society, this guy getting a statue, this is just too much.
Well, with the FBI report, we saw that Mr.
Trump allowed to be leaked out recently.
We, of course, know that there's another statue in Washington to a gentleman with Marxist sympathies and...
Provocative sexual tastes, to say the least.
Well, Ralph Abernathy, in his, I can't remember the name of his memoir.
It was Roll Jordan Roll or something like that.
Ralph Abernathy, he wrote about just this omnivorous and wild sexual appetites that Martin Luther King had.
Devastating book. Yes.
Some of the things he said about King are astonishing.
Apparently, the very night that he was assassinated, he was in bed with two different women, not his wife, according to Ralph Abernathy.
But the whole Tomcat and Martin Luther King story and the communist sympathies, that's a subject for perhaps another day.
But anyway, we're supposed to all overlook this kind of thing so long as he was a strong-backed man who was too smart and too strong and too black.
So, let's see.
Well, we're running out of time here.
This seems to happen every time we have one of these podcasts.
But I did want to touch on this latest 80-page investigation of Swedish sex crimes.
There have been rumors for years now that rape in Sweden is overwhelmingly being committed by these non-white Muslims and refugees.
But it took a private citizen, a fellow by the name of Patrick Jonasson, And he's a former truck driver, and now he just does retail sales, and he doesn't have any statistical background.
But what he did, he looked through all the court records that he could find.
The records themselves, on an individual basis, are available.
And he looked between 2012 and 2014, and he found that 95.6% of rapes in Sweden had been committed by men of foreign descent.
With men from the Middle East and Africans particularly overrepresented.
Now, if you do the calculations, and I think this calculation was probably more than Patrick Jonathan might have been capable of, but he could certainly add up and he could certainly come up with percentages.
But if you do the calculation, it means that foreigners on a per capita basis are 66 times more likely than Swedes to commit rape.
But these facts have been ignored by the authorities, and in fact, this report itself was almost completely ignored by the Swedish media, but the few experts that media did contact about this conceded that, yep, yep, yep, this is a very simple methodology, and as Patrick Jonasson himself said, look, it doesn't take higher math to count them up and come up with percentages.
It's pretty easy.
It's pretty easy.
But to me, and Mr.
Kersey, this just leaves me baffled, the idea of white societies wanting to look the other way when white women are violated by strangers, violated by foreigners, violated by people who've come for asylum, seeking your generosity and goodwill, and they rape your women and you pretend that it's not happening?
Explain this to me.
I think Tucker Carlson put it best recently on his show.
He simply said that the elites, regardless of what happens, are so committed to mass immigration and this belief that this somehow betters our society that the consequences must be brushed aside.
Again, we think we've had this conversation.
You and I disagree on the psychology behind the elite.
Remember the story of the, was it an EU official whose daughter was raped?
Yes, that's right. Again, they sent money to some fund.
She was raped and killed.
That's right. Yes. But you know, there, that is clearly, that is a sincere act.
It's like the parents of Amy Beale, Her, their daughter in South Africa is killed by this one bullet, one boor type hopped up South African blacks and they go over and forgive them and they start foundations for the education of these poor deprived blacks.
There is some sort of sincere desire to forgive, and I suppose the more badly we're treated, the more sincerely we wish to forgive.
I remember somebody describing the way whites, it's like some poor whipped dog.
The harder you kick it, the harder it wags its tail.
That's the way white people seem to behave.
And this, of course, reminds me, this refusing to accept the facts.
You know, the sex grooming cover-ups in Britain, in Rotherham, in Rochdale, in Oxfordshire, and then, of course, the Cologne train station assaults back on New Year's Eve of 2015.
On that occasion, 359 women filed reports.
Now, if 359 women filed reports, I bet you 1,000 women got groped.
And that, too, was completely covered up.
It was all in the shadow of that absolutely gorgeous cathedral.
And again, we have to understand that the elite in Europe and in the United States, they no longer believe that their higher power, their religion is egalitarianism.
It is racial equality.
They are the priest class who are trying to go out there and inculcate and convert everyone to their cause.
And when you have data of this nature...
I just read in Switzerland that in the largest city...
Is it Zurich? What's the largest city in Switzerland?
I don't know whether it's Zurich, probably Zurich.
I've lived in Zurich where they're no longer going to publish the racial data of those arrested for violent crimes because it, as we see so often in Western Europe and cities throughout Western Europe, it...
Happens to have a racial bias when you start to look at the data that it's it's almost all committed as we see in Sweden these rapes it's almost all committed by not only non-whites but immigrants refugees and we see this you know time and time again I've looked through and flipped through the color of crime the past issues that American Renaissance has done going back to gosh the late 90s and the pattern is there it's it's obvious it's it's it's In these cities, there is such little white crime.
I go back to that Brookings Institute study where they tried to figure out gun crime in America, and they found that almost all deaths that involve white people are suicides.
And then you realize that almost all gun crime in America is committed by blacks.
The NRA isn't that far away from where we are right now.
This is the type of data that if you want to protect gun rights, if you want to protect
any right, and going back to Sweden, if you want to protect the right for the Swedes to
actually exist, you have to factor this data in into your policies, your social policies.
And they just don't dare.
They just don't dare.
You'd think that the NRA would have the balls to do something like that.
They're gun-toting, red-blooded Americans.
No.
They are scared to death.
They'd bring up any racial aspect here.
But you know, to me, the guy that really took the cake was after the Cologne cover-up, and
it was a deliberate police cover-up.
The word went out, no, no, no, no, we're not going to talk about this.
But there was a leak.
There was a leak.
And the police were furious that this all got out.
But as a result of the word getting out, then it turned out that in many cities all around
Germany the very same thing happened on a smaller scale, not just in Germany and other
countries in Europe.
New Year's Eve apparently is just a great time for what the Arabs call this Taharush.
You know, you can't say that multiculturalism doesn't educate us.
I learned an Arabic word, taharush.
And that's when, you know, you get around these women and you grope them and you do whatever you can to them.
But any case, once the word was out on German social media, a number of Germans said rude things about these immigrants.
And the German Interior Minister, Ralph Jaeger, he said, and I quote,"...what happens on the right-wing Internet platforms and in chat rooms is at least as awful as the acts of those assaulting the women." Well, I look at it this way. Those rude things that the German people are saying about the migrants, the refugees, the immigrants, those shouldn't be just limited to the refugees, the immigrants, the migrants.
It's the people who are allowing and covering up.
That's where the venom, that's where, for lack of a better term, the intense hatred should exist.
Because these people have an intense hatred for your right to exist and to proliferate.
Well, now, see, you and I disagree there.
But in any case, they are acting as if they did.
I think they really do think they're on the side of the angels, that they're working for a better future, and someday we will.
Undoubtedly. They're convinced that they're on the right side of history, etc., etc.
But, yeah, whenever the SPLC accuses me of being a hate monger, you know, What these Arabs, what Mexicans, what all of these non-whites pushing their way into our countries are doing is perfectly normal and understandable.
It's very hard to hate people like that.
They're doing what... I might very well do the same thing if I were in their shoes.
If I were in the business of hating, and I'm not much of a hater, I guess, I would hate, as you say, the people who are doing this to us.
If I were really a hate monger, the people that I would hate would be guys like this German Interior Minister.
What kind of attitude is that?
He really wants to suppress the truth in the purposes of setting in motion or maintaining in motion this process whereby his own people are going to be reduced ultimately to dimitude, to servitude in the interests of others, foreigners.
It's this mentality which I do not believe, no matter what you say, I do not believe it's motivated by hate for white people.
It's motivated by some kind of twiddling Quisted sense of virtue.
And this is our biggest, biggest weakness.
Well, because the belief in Christianity or whatnot has been replaced by this belief in
this racial egalitarian, for lack of a better term, orthodoxy.
And I think that it might just be as simple as that.
That this is their religion.
This is what they pray to.
And they don't pray in the sense that they get down their knees.
But this is exactly what they have chosen as their higher purpose on this planet.
And regardless of what happens to posterity.
Even worse, regardless of what happens to your own countrymen.
I mean, to me, you know, you think about any of these cases where a father or a brother of one of these victims, I mean, of course you never hear about what they might do, but it just boggles my mind that you don't hear any stories of retribution.
I know, I know. That's the thing that's always blown my mind.
Well, I feel the same way.
After the events were reported in Cologne of New Year's Eve 2015, They had special police squads out to make sure it didn't happen.
I was sort of expecting some strapping young Germans, young fellows on a sort of freelance basis to be out there really teaching some of these foreigners a lesson if they dared lay a hand on a frulein.
But no, you never hear about this.
Whatever happened, whatever happened to the spirit of manhood among white people?
I don't want to go.
Fast enough, soon enough, we'll see, but he is definitely beginning to stir.
Well, I'll tell you how they're stirring, Mr.
Taylor. People were listening to our podcast last week, and I got a number of emails, a number of tweets, a number of people said, hey, I'll help you find that documentary, that movie you want to see, and I want to thank everyone who reached out and said how we can find The March, the BBC production that came out in the early 1990s.
I actually had somebody who sent and uploaded it, so if you're interested, you can contact American Horizons.
I can actually help Show you in the direction.
I don't want to get into where it is located, but I'll send you the link where you can actually watch it.
It's available, I believe, in German on YouTube.
Portions of it are, but I've actually got an English-language version of it that somebody found.
They upload it as we asked them to do, and I'd be happy to share that with anyone listening.
Well, that's great. On YouTube now, if you look, a BBC movie, The March, you can find the full thing in German for all our German speakers out there.
But in any case, all right, if I'll take your word for it, an English version is out there.
I may have to watch it myself.
It's fantastic. It's fantastic.
I just want to get...
Thank you everyone who listens to these podcasts.
We are in, of course, such a frightening time, but at the same time, courage is contagious.
I've always said that, and I know, Jared, for nearly, gosh...
Are we approaching the 30th year of American Renaissance soon?
I'm afraid so. I'm afraid so.
I've been doing this since you guys were babies.
Nothing wrong with that. In your crib, sucking your little pink toes.
Anyway, we have come to the end of our time.
And thank you, as always.
I believe next week, Henry Wolf will be standing in for me.
But we will have, again, the irreplaceable and unimitable Paul Kersey.
So thanks so much.
