Time Text
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to another broadcast of Radio Renaissance.
This is Jared Taylor in the studio with our regular guest and commentator, Paul Kersey.
And ordinarily we talk about the news of the week, and we will certainly do that.
But first of all, I'd like to talk a little bit about a little bit of news that we made.
And that's to say we published our interactive map of hate crime hoaxes in the United States.
The way we put this database together is that we did an exhaustive survey of the last two and a half years of hate crime hoaxes, every single one of them that we could possibly find.
And one of the reasons we chose our start date of June 2015 That's because that is the very month in which Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency.
And you've heard over and over and over again about how his candidacy and his presidency has stimulated this huge and unconscionable wave of hate crimes, not just against the usual suspects, blacks, etc., but of course against Muslims, against Hispanics, etc., etc. Well, we thought it was worth looking into just how many of these alleged hate crimes turned out to be hoaxes.
And we found that since that time, there have been 101 hoaxers.
And we have categorized them according to race, according to sex, just who it was they were trying to drum up sympathy for.
And our interactive map is available at amran.com.
It's right there on the front page.
And I welcome all of you.
I urge all of you to come take a look.
I think our findings are pretty interesting.
And now, Brother Kersey, well, first of all, if I had asked you which of the groups in the United States staging hate crime hoaxes are the most likely per capita to do so, what is the group that would have occurred to you?
Obviously, I would think black Americans.
I would think African Americans would be the group because we see this happen so frequently on college campuses.
They're the most highly publicized because they happen on a college campus where the left...
Finally, they have an example of a white supremacist engaging in the type of crimes that I guess they fantasize transpire on a daily basis in America.
And as your study, as the American Renaissance, the New Century Foundation study shows, it's been almost, what, a thousand days?
It's been about... 800 days since Donald Trump announced his candidacy in June of 2015.
And you just said, you know, 101 that you've documented.
So think about that. There's almost a hate crime every three days, less than three days in America, hate crime hoax, if you think about it.
So I would say, all things being equal, without knowing the data beforehand, I would say that it's probably African Americans who are perpetrating hate crime hoaxes.
Well, at the highest per capita rate, that's what we're interested in here.
As it turns out, you're pretty close insofar as compared to whites, blacks are perpetrating hate crime hoaxes at 13 times the rate, which is considerable.
But the people that really take the cake are Middle Eastern Muslims.
Those people are perpetrating these hoaxes at nearly 35 times the white rate.
I think this is quite extraordinary.
And this is, of course, the group for which we're supposed to constantly be drumming up sympathy, but they are very active in this.
And one thing that I find fascinating is that many of them are probably immigrants.
And it's interesting to me how quickly they have learned the benefits of staging something like this because of all the sympathy, all the outpouring of caring, all the white people petting them and cosseting them when something like this happens.
They've picked that up really quickly, it seems to me.
Well, Gregory Hood noted in an article that is available also at amrin.com that if white privilege is such a great thing, Such a great thing.
Why are so many white people who could be classified as white running away from the concept of white privilege?
And that is, you know, Middle Eastern and a lot of Muslims would classify as Caucasian in the way that the United States classifies race.
And a lot of times when you look at Muslims or Middle Easterns, you think it probably could be a white person.
And yet... They've realized the way to succeed in America is playing the same game that so many of those on the left, as you said, 13.3 times the frequency of whites, blacks are committing these hate crime hoaxes since 2015, mind you.
Again, the data metric you have here is only the past couple years when the atmosphere that the left has created, that the media has created, I mean, put it in the context of all the fake stories that CNN is doing right now to try and Pinpoint Trump as this Russia conspiracy, whatever it is, or collusion.
All the things that they're faking.
This same media is also accentuating all these hate crime hoaxes.
And they've got control of the megaphone, as Steve Saylor points out.
And they're able to broadcast this nationwide.
And Mr. Taylor, in the video you did, you pointed out that these are largely done to antagonize white people.
And to create an atmosphere of increased...
Vitriol against Caucasians, all Caucasians, because one hate crime is purportedly perpetrated by a white person, it somehow falls upon all white people are to blame for creating this atmosphere.
And of course, naturally when it turns out it's a hate crime hoax, when we find that out, Not all of the race, or not all of the individual, if they're Middle Eastern, if they're Muslim, if they're black.
That community isn't responsible for this hate crime hoax.
No, no, no. In fact, we should still help that community out because of the, as we learned, I think it was Kansas State, where Kansas State had the black student who said that someone wrote on their car, and it turns out that they dedicated all these resources to figure out who it was, and they're like, well, wait a second.
We still need to care about And even though it wasn't true, we still need to consider what happened.
Yes, that is one of the habits that white people apparently have.
Certainly, if you are a college president, the campus can be turned upside down on account of something that turns out to be a complete hoax.
By the time the hoaxer is unmasked as a black student, the administration has already agreed to yet more sensitivity training, yet more recruitment and retention of all of liberalism's pets, and the fact that it turns out that it was based on a hoax makes no difference.
The president of the university will get up and say, of course, all the initiatives that we entered into, they will continue with the very same enthusiasm as when we started out.
And of course, that was the same with, I guess we talked about this last time, the Air Force Academy guy.
You know, here this general is in high dudgeon about racism in the Air Force Academy prep school.
Turns out it was a black who did it.
And he says, no, it makes no difference.
It makes no difference. We're still going to do exactly what we always thought we were going to do.
So, no, whites don't let the fact that it was a hoax spoil their opportunity to get into a high state of righteous indignation about other wicked white people.
This is just something they just can't seem to resist the temptation to do.
Yeah, and the great thing about your guys' study, the great thing about this incredible presentation of these hate crime hoaxes is that at amrin.com you can actually look at this interactive map and you're able to look at each individual hate crime where it's happened in the country and go into the details of the case.
You can see You can find out if there's been a hate crime hoax near you if you haven't heard about it.
I mean, again, these are happening so frequently.
Once every three days, basically, since Trump has been...
And, you know, one of the things we talked about offline before we started this broadcast, this podcast...
There are probably a number that you guys just didn't find.
Exactly. We hunted as hard as we could.
And don't forget, there are many, many reported alleged hate crimes that are nothing more than graffiti or messages showing up, and nobody ever gets to the bottom of them.
As a matter of fact, as I believe Sebastian Gorka once pointed out, if there is a report of a hate crime of some kind, your first question should be, well, is it a hoax?
Is there a possibility that it's a hoax?
If it turns out that it's anonymous in any way, that should be your first mental question, because there's an excellent chance that it is.
And many of the ones that go unsolved, so to speak, they are probably likewise hoaxes.
But I think we should point out, we've mentioned that Middle Easterners are 35 times more likely on a per capita basis to perpetrate hoaxes.
Blacks are 13 times more likely.
Asians, interestingly enough, most of the time, Asians are well behaved.
And when it comes to illegitimacy rates, crime rates, etc., they actually have lower rates than whites.
In this case, it's 2.4.
2.4 times the white rate in terms of perpetrating these hoaxes.
And Hispanics, interestingly enough, commit these hoaxes at essentially the same rate as whites on a per capita basis.
I thought that was very interesting. I would have expected Hispanics to have learned the hoax game, the advantage of crying wolf, just as quickly as Middle Easterners, but apparently not.
Now, there is an interesting element to this, though, and that is the fact that of these white people who commit the hoaxes, Only 17% of the group that we found were committing a hoax that was going to try to call attention to white people.
Some white guy who complains that blacks beat him up and in fact he nicked himself with a razor or whatever it was.
That is only 17% of the cases.
44%, the largest number, are white people who are homosexuals who are trying to call attention to LGBT rights.
They say, oh, you know, these bad people beat me up because I was gay.
44%. Almost half.
Almost half. Yes. And when you combine, let's see, the other interesting thing is that I hadn't realized until we started this study is that there are progressive whites out there, so called, who like to start these hoaxes in the name of blacks or Muslims, for example. They will go running around writing KKK and the N-word all over the place because they want to stir up sympathy for blacks or hate Muslims, all of this stuff.
And that is something that is completely absent in any other group.
It's only whites that start these hate crimes with the idea of trying to drum up sympathy for some other group.
Why do you think that is?
That is one of the fascinating aspects of this study that you have white people who will...
We'll go out of their way knowing, they obviously know that they see what happens when a Like what just happened in the Navy.
There was a black person, a black sailor who wrote some racial graffiti in his bunk.
Then it turns out that, guess what?
You're the one who did it. What are you doing?
And he posts this.
This is the world we live in where he posts this story on his social media, his Facebook page, and it goes viral.
And black Twitter goes crazy.
They buy into it and they promote this.
It proliferates. And then it turns out, well, wait a second.
You're the dude. Who did it?
You did it yourself. So, are white people who are, I don't know, self-immolating white people at the end of the day?
I mean, what is it that drives them?
This is one of the final questions that you've always asked, since you founded American Results.
What is it that is compelling white people?
Because in no other race, as your data shows, in no other race is this found.
Right, right.
It is all part of the ultimately suicidal insanity of white people.
I'm sure it's these hopped up, completely crazy SJW types who really want to beat the drum and have big campaigns for the benefit of blacks, for the benefit of these poor, neglected, persecuted Muslims, and so they don't see enough energy going in that direction.
So to stoke it up, they will fake a hate crime that will Just bring about this inferno of indignation and hatred.
But no, it is quite astonishing.
It is like adopting black babies.
It's like considering one's own race the scourge of human history.
It's like white people saying, oh, the country will be so much better when white people are a minority.
The filmmaker Roy Moore is on record as saying that, you know.
He says, looking forward to the day in 2050, whenever it is, in White People Menard, because the country will be so much better.
I'm sorry, which filmmaker? Moore.
No, I'm sorry. Michael Moore.
Michael Moore. Yes. I beg your pardon. We're jumping ahead to who we're going to talk about in a second.
I beg your pardon. Michael Moore. Yes, yes.
A slip of the 66-year-old tongue.
In any case, no, white people have this extraordinary pathological altruism for others.
This is something that I have been cuddling my brains about ever since I started American Renaissance.
But no, you're right to put your finger on that.
This is a fascinating question.
Why do white...
Liberals, why do these hopped up whites perpetrate hoaxes that are supposed to draw attention to and gather sympathy for people other than themselves?
It's pathological altruism.
Now, of course, as I pointed out, if you're talking about Arabs or Muslims or non-whites in general, they do not stage hoaxes that are going to try to evoke sympathy for whites.
I mean, when you think about it, it would just be inconceivable anyway.
But, now, another interesting aspect of the data here If you separate out from the white perps, those who are doing hoaxes in the name of trying to get sympathy for women, or sympathy for homosexuals, or sympathy for these non-racial ethnic groups, what you find is that the multiples of Middle Easterners, Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics rises very considerably.
Here, you find that Hispanics are actually, once you separate out the white ones who are worried about women and LGBT and that sort of thing, Hispanics are committing these hoaxes at twice the white rate, Asians at 4.8, nearly five times the white rate, Blacks at 26 times the white rate, and Middle Easterners at 69.4 times the white rate.
This is on a per capita basis.
So if you really are looking at, okay, people saying, I'm going to stage something to evoke sympathy for my race or ethnic group, white people are way out of the picture.
Yeah, they're not even in the picture.
Well, they are slightly.
Oh, 17% of them.
Okay. Was it 17%?
Yes, 17% of them are of the white hoaxers are doing that.
All the rest, I've got something else in mind.
Anyway, but yes, we invite all of our listeners to come to amran.com and look at our hate crime hoax map that is right on the front page.
And as Mr. Kersey was saying, you can mouse around on the map and see what's happening in your neighborhood.
There may be some things that will surprise you.
And I would like to put the call out for any of you who are aware that We want white people who are doing hoaxes, Muslims, everybody.
We want this to be absolutely comprehensive.
I think it would also be interesting if you cross-reference the data you have here showing hate crime hoaxes with organizations that are out there fundraising off of...
Hate crimes that they're saying were actually committed, whereas it turns out that they actually are a hoax.
I don't need to name some of these organizations.
I think we know who they are, but they're doing end of the year fundraising for their non-profits, and I think that it would be...
It would be quite interesting to see if they're still trying to garner donations based on the reporting of false information.
It wouldn't surprise me at all.
But anyway, let us move on to the news of the week.
And one of the interesting things that happened just, I guess, yesterday, the day before yesterday, was...
The Senate race between Doug Jones and Roy Moore.
As you know, it was a 50-48 cliffhanger, and the Democrat Doug Jones won.
Interestingly enough, what everyone is noticing, and I think rightly so, is the overwhelming black support for this Democrat.
He appears to have gotten, what is it, a remarkable 98% of black women voted for him and all told blacks who are 30% of the electorate voted 96% for the Democrat.
And this of course is due to an enormous concerted effort By the Democratic campaign to reach out to blacks.
I think they were bragging about how they had either knocked on the doors or sent letters to or had telephoned black voters two or three times every single black voter to get them out.
And the black turnout in this election, this is another really astonishing thing, was greater than the black turnout for Barack Obama.
And being someone who knows this area quite well, I am still shocked when you think about this data.
You and I had this conversation yesterday that this was an off-election, and yet you have a black turnout that rivals the turnout for the first black president.
You can remember, go back to 2008, the people, tears in their eyes, going to vote finally for someone who looks like them to be the commander-in-chief, and yet we're...
I don't want to speculate here, but we're to believe that somehow...
The left was able to get more...
I mean, it's astonishing when you think about it because it also shows the blueprint moving forward to try and paint the Republican as someone who's going to take the clock backwards and to use that racial antagonism.
Again, in the South, in a state like Georgia, in a state like Alabama, in a state like Mississippi, in a state like Louisiana, democracy is a racial headcount.
And the most fascinating aspect of this whole Roy Moore-Doug Jones debate that really cuts to the heart, as Ann Coulter has noted, Donald Trump got 1.3 million votes in Alabama in 2016.
Only 49% of the people who showed up to vote for Donald Trump showed up to vote for Roy Moore.
He got about 650,000 votes.
91% of the people who showed up to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016, they showed up to vote for Doug Jones.
That is astonishing when you think about the level of energy and excitement that existed.
Because I don't know how far we can go into talking about this, but Roy Moore was not a very good candidate.
He was not well-liked in Alabama.
He's been someone who has been...
from a white class structure, the upper class, the white elite of Alabama in the suburbs
of Huntsville, Mobile, Birmingham, Montgomery, those, the white elite living in Auburn and
in Tuscaloosa where the University of Alabama is located, they were embarrassed by this
guy. I'm just going to come out and bluntly say that. They were embarrassed when he brought
a lot of attention to the state, negative attention back in the 2000s when he was doing
his commandments nonsense and then when he ran again, people were shocked that he won
the Chief Justice spot in 20, I want to say 2012. What's interesting is he ran for governor
and he came in fourth in the primary a few years ago. So the way that this guy reinvented
himself in winning the primary against a very unpopular Luther Strange, unfortunately the
GOP kneecap Mo Brooks when they could have gone all around him.
This has me fired up because this isn't a failure on Trump.
This isn't a failure or an indictment on the GOP. What this is, is why would you put up an unpopular candidate who basically compelled a majority of white people who got out to vote for Donald Trump to sit at home because they were embarrassed by this guy.
Well, don't forget, don't forget, the vote for Moore was 72% of white men and 60% of white women.
And he also got the majority of college-educated white men and white women.
So if this had been an all-white election, of course, it would have been an absolute crushing landslide in his favor.
But this is going back to something that I've observed ever since, I think, Jimmy Carter is the last Democratic president that actually got a majority white vote.
Since then, no, no, you have to go all the way back to Lyndon Johnson to find such a president.
Ever since then, if there has been a Democratic president, white people did not get the president they wanted.
And this is the case for the senators here.
You have this overwhelming block vote of non-whites for the Democrat, and this tidal wave means that white people, if they sort of split their vote in a more or less normal, politically-oriented way, they don't get the person that they hope to get.
You're exactly right, but I would like to point out that 72% of $1.3 million is far greater than 72% of $650,000.
True. Which is what Roy Moore got.
Because again, at the end of the day, Alabama's got a lot going for it.
With President Trump saying he wants to re-energize NASA to go to the stars, guess what?
Huntsville was Rocket City.
You know, Werner Braun-Bahn's house was on sale a couple years ago.
I considered trying to buy it in Huntsville.
This is a true story. My point is Alabama is a great state.
And it... One of the things that I saw in the media in the lead-up to this election, Mr.
Taylor, is the United Nations was trying to say that Alabama has the greatest percentage of poverty in the country, largely the Black Belt area, where we've talked about.
Guess what? Selma is located in the Black Belt area, and that's a city that was used by the media in the 1960s to basically create favorable images and photographs and video of beleaguered blacks.
That helped energize their cause and provoke sympathy.
Well, you know, what fascinates me about this is the way the Democrats succeeded in turning Roy Moore into some symbol of turning back the clock on civil rights.
That he's the anti-black candidate.
The New York Times actually quoted a black Alabamian.
This guy is getting a master's degree in divinity, and he was quoted as saying, Mr.
Moore's version of Christianity, quote, sanctifies the truth-making power of white men and was, quote, really just a masquerade for white supremacy.
What in heaven's name does that mean?
Where does that come from? The fact that he's crazy about the Ten Commandments?
This is a masquerade for white supremacy?
Maybe the New York Times did make a point to hunt out these people, but I don't think that's true.
This probably reflected a deep-seated idea among blacks that Roy Moore was anti-black.
Part of it has to do with this bumbling reply he gave at one campaign appearance In which a black guy in the audience got up and asked him, well, when was the period when America was great?
Because he's talking about making America great again.
Roy Moore, in what must have been the stupidest answer for a politician on record, he said, well, it was back when families were strong.
Families stayed together.
That was what made America great.
If you just left it at that, that'd be okay.
That's a good answer. Yes.
Then he says, unfortunately, we had slavery at the time.
What the heck?
And now he's saying, now he's being quoted all around the black community as saying, he thought America was great back when we had slavery.
It's bulletin board material.
If you're talking about a sports contest, this is your rival opponent saying something so egregious.
You put it on the bulletin board of your locker room and you say, that's why we're going to win.
That's the motivation.
Roy Moore, this buffoonery is, again, what turned off a lot of the...
You know, Hunter Wallace has pointed this out on his excellent site, Oxnall Descent, where he's pointed out that there is a great socioeconomic divide between whites in Alabama.
Of course, when... When Trump ran in 2016, it wasn't there.
1.3 million people voted for Donald Trump.
49% of those people didn't show up to vote for Roy Moore because they have economic...
I hate to say this, Mr.
Taylor, but they look at the state and they look at what Charles Barkley said.
And they probably agree with what Charles Barkley said.
Toward the end of the campaign, he did a robocall.
And he was going out and speaking all across the state on behalf of Doug Jones.
And he urged voters to reject Roy Moore.
Saying, quote, we've got to at some point, we've got to stop looking like idiots to the nation, unquote.
Now, of course, Charles Barkley is someone who is, I remember back when he played for the Phoenix Suns or the Philadelphia 76ers, he threw someone through a bar window.
This is a guy who, I wouldn't be surprised if in a couple years it turns out that he's had some unquestionable things going on.
You look at this rape hysteria and the sexual harassment hysteria taking over the country.
He's had a number of incidents over the years where he's been arrested for drunk driving and a number of questionable things.
So I wouldn't be surprised if, from a moral perspective, karma gets to Charles Barkley at some point.
But the fact remains, there are a lot of white people who nodded their head in agreement with what Charles Barkley said.
A lot of white people who voted for Trump, who nodded their head in agreement and said, you know what?
Look at what this guy said. Look at the negative publicity he's brought to the state over the past decade and a half.
Is this what we want? Yep, yep, yep.
No, people crave respectability.
They crave a New York Times article praising their state.
No, it's a sad thing.
But no, I certainly agree that Roy Moore was a defective candidate in many ways.
Something else you have to consider, though, is that Roy Moore did not raise all that much money.
It turns out that this Doug Jones guy outspent him seven to one.
Seven to one. In an era in which television has such a powerful influence.
And they brought up this sexual molestation stuff.
And I believe, what were the figures here, that 52% of the voters that were polled said that the sex claims were definitely or probably true.
And that 41% of the voters said that these sex allegations were either the single most important factor in their vote or one of several important factors.
So all of this stuff from 30, 40 years ago, that certainly played against Roy Moore as well.
So he was a defective candidate for many reasons, and I think Ann Coulter made a pretty good point.
She points out over and over and over again that not only for her, but for a lot of white voters, the real issue is immigration.
And instead of talking about immigration, as she put it, quote, conservatives who ignore immigration while carrying on about taxes, defense spending, ISIS, abortion, or the Ten Commandments are too stupid to be of any real help.
Unquote. And that should be facts to every Republican lawmaker in the country, whether they're state, local, or national.
It is really that simple.
The moral majority...
Look at it this way. In a country of Ronald Reagan that's about 78% to 80% white...
The moral majority can play.
It can work. But in a country that is beginning to fracture among racial lines and also among white people who realize that the economic future of their city and their community is based upon how multinational organizations...
Mr. Taylor, remember what happened when Indiana tried to pass the Religious Freedom Bill and Salesforce threatened to leave saying, hey...
We'll take all these jobs.
We won't invest in your community anymore, in your state anymore.
The party, the CEO is upon us.
Alabama's got an unbelievable infrastructure you can tap into.
Birmingham is a great city.
It's gentrifying rapidly.
In fact, the black mayor who has just voted out, he actually created a gentrification task force because they were worried about all these white people moving back into the city.
And driving up tax, and driving up the property, appreciating property, and then driving up the tax that could be collected, and driving out blacks.
This is a state that has a lot going for it, and what Mr.
Taylor just said that Ann Coulter pointed out, this is the same type of idiocy that you see in Georgia, that you see in Tennessee, that you see in a lot of these southern states, Immigration is all that matters.
Right. Immigration is all that matters.
And of course, what these bonehead conservatives don't understand or refuse to understand is that everything they care about depends on the presence of a white majority.
Yes. The Constitution, gun rights, small government, low taxes, all of that stuff.
Do they really think that Haitians and Guatemalans and Mexicans are going to turn into the kind of conservatives who are going to support that stuff?
Crazy. Look at a state like Maryland.
Real quick. Maryland is a state that basically sums it up.
I would say it's a southern state, and yet it is governed like it's California.
And it's really simple. It comes down to, at the end of the day, R-A-C-E. Period.
Race. I'm afraid so.
But your comment about gentrification, was the mayor of Birmingham who was encouraging gentrification?
No, no. The mayor of Birmingham, who just voted out, William Bell, they set up a gentrification task force because they were worried about what was happening.
They wanted to figure out a way to protect...
To protect the black majority.
And again, Birmingham is a city that 100 years ago, it was about 74%, 75% white.
I have family members who have told me fond memories of what the city was like in a pre-civil rights era.
And you can see glimpses of that.
If you ever visit Birmingham, you can see glimpses.
You can see the infrastructure in place.
And you can see the facsimile of a city that was once...
Fantastic. That's the same in all of these southern cities.
A place like Memphis, for example, you have these beautiful, beautiful neighborhoods.
You find that everywhere.
Detroit, Newark still has neighborhoods that were once beautiful.
You can see what was like this corpse of some magnificent person.
Anyway. That's everywhere and no doubt I'm sure that's true in Birmingham.
But the whole question of gentrification and the ambiguous view that some blacks have about gentrification can lead us into the whole Atlanta mayor's race.
That took place on Tuesday.
And this got nothing like the national attention that the special election in Alabama got.
But what we find here is that Mary Norwood, the white woman, was running against Keisha Lance Bottoms, a black woman.
And it was a very, very close race.
Bottoms got 50.45% and Mary Norwood got 49.55% with a difference of only 832 votes out of about 90,000 cash.
So this is really a razor thin margin.
She's looking for a recount. Now, it looks to me as though she's probably going to lose.
She didn't want a recount, by the way, we should point out, in 2009, Mary Norwood was also in a similar situation when she ran a contentious...
And this was even more...
I can remember in 2009 because the entire national media...
fixed with what was going on in Atlanta. Atlanta had been one of the few success
stories in the country of where blacks had taken over the city government and
yet they had worked together with a white business class to create the city
too busy to hate, to attract some of the biggest fortune 100 companies and yet at
the same time you had a point where white people in Atlanta were nearing a
majority and they came very close to electing Mary Norwood.
She lost by a mere 714 votes in the runoff. At that point she did not call for
a recount.
This time however, she is.
Yes, yes. Very interesting.
Very interesting. We'll see what happens.
Recounts almost never seem to succeed.
And the other thing that you can imagine is, what if as a result of the recount, they hand the city to a white one?
Oh, boy.
The police better be on high, high, high alert.
So this isn't going to happen.
But what is significant to me is how little attention the national media paid this, whereas we have the very same racial dynamic working itself out in a major American city.
And once again, curiously enough, we have all of these exit poll statistics on who voted for Roy Moore, who voted for the other guy, whereas we have none of that here.
The only way we can find out, have some notion of the racial breakdown for the vote for the white woman and the black woman is by looking at the various precincts.
And we found a map of that.
And if you mouse over, you see these huge disparities.
Up in the north, where the white people live, 90% for Norwood.
And you go down in the south, in the southern part where the black people live, 85%, 90% for Bottoms.
It's a very, very clear split.
So my guess is that the racial split was, if anything, just as great in this race as it was for the Roy Moore-Doug Jones race.
Well, Atlanta's interesting. It's in two counties.
It's in DeKalb County and Fulton County.
In North Fulton, County has some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country.
This is Buckhead.
This is Sandy Springs. This is Roswell.
These are really nice areas.
And South Fulton is near the Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport.
These are areas where MARTA has a number of stops.
These have some incredibly low property values, so the highest crime rates, virtually no legal economic activity.
And as Mr. Taylor pointed out when we were looking over the interactive map, looking at the precincts, It correlates to 95% of the votes going to bottoms in those areas that are all black versus in all white areas or the gentrifying areas.
It's just fascinating. It's the exact opposite.
And Atlanta is a city that in the next decade they will elect a white mayor.
And I know that the city government is shockingly staffed by blacks in these positions that are highly questionable.
One of the things Mary Norwood ran on was calling for audits.
She wanted accountability. She wanted to figure out what was going on.
MARTA is the same way.
MARTA is Atlanta's Famously lambasted metropolitan transportation system and mass transit system.
And it's embarrassingly bad.
And also, it's in a situation where the majority, 90% plus of the employees are African-American.
So you have to ask yourself, are these just job programs for otherwise unemployable blacks?
The answer is yes.
And, you know, going...
Again, Atlanta is such a fascinating city because Maynard Jackson, when he ran in 1973, he bragged about creating black millionaires because using pressure to create minority contracts for the airport and for other city services.
And this is something that happens in every major metropolitan area where there's a black mayor or where the blacks are taking control of the city government.
And if you just did a simple audit You'd be shocked at the amount of just embarrassing lawlessness.
We will see whether Mayor Lance Bottoms will do an audit.
But Atlanta was one of those astonishingly egregious situations in which white plaintiffs actually got a judgment against the city for systematic discrimination against whites.
I remember the library system.
The library system was staffed, as I recall, 99, maybe 100% black.
No white person who wanted to work for Atlanta Public Library could get a job, and they actually brought suit, and they had no trouble getting supervisors on the stand to say, well, yeah, our policy was no white people.
So they got these huge settlements.
It's one of those cases where they actually went to court and got something.
But what is interesting to me, or there are many interesting things about this, was apparently the number of blacks who were sort of thinking that, well, you know, maybe we'll give white people a try after all.
Here, just days before all the newspapers are snooping around, one black man who sounded from his interview, reasonably intelligent and well-educated, he says, we need whites to come in and help us.
Fancy that. And then the black columnist Maynard Eaton, he's quoting young blacks who have, you know, you say Maynard Jackson came in 1973.
There's been a black mayor ever since.
All they've known is black mayors.
And the young blacks now saying, and I'm quoting Maynard Eaton, what the heck has a black mayor done for me?
Let's give white folks a chance.
Well, we'll see. Now, this is quite interesting.
And Eaton goes on to say, the black thing isn't as black as it once was.
Now, there are people who think the black thing is just as black as it once was because there was this robocall that went out just before the general election in November.
This is a runoff we're talking about that made the final decision.
Back in November, there was a robocall that went out saying, keep Atlanta black.
This is a female black voice.
Only Keisha. Can stop the white takeover of City Hall.
So there are still some people who very much want Chocolate City to stay chocolate.
But here we have black people saying, well, let's give white folks a chance.
I think that's interesting.
Well, it's fascinating because we saw in Detroit there was a contentious election between Michael Duggan, I believe is the white mayor's name, and Coleman Young III, of course, the offspring of the longtime mayor of...
Detroit, Coleman Young, who was there from 1973 to, I think, the early 90s, maybe 1992.
And it's fascinating when you juxtapose Detroit and Atlanta.
Because Atlanta did get demographically close to the point that Detroit is.
Atlanta in 1990, Mr.
Taylor, was 67% black.
And now...
According to the 2010 census, you're talking about it being about 54% black.
Tremendous reversal of white people moving into the city.
It's almost axiomatic now that the city is majority white because you look at, since 2010, the amount of young white people moving into these neighborhoods that white people had abandoned to blacks after civil rights era to go to the suburbs.
And you look at the white people moving into these colossal mega skyscrapers that are being built in Midtown.
I'm talking about 40 to 60-story mixed-use developments where you're going to see 20,000 to 30,000 more white people moving into the city because these are pricey real estate to purchase condominiums or apartments.
This is Atlanta you're talking about. This is Atlanta.
Midtown is... Atlanta is interesting because it's got one of the more beautiful skylines in the country, but it's spread out.
Downtown is what most people always see.
There's some great buildings, the Bank of America Tower, SunTrust, Georgia Pacific.
But then you've got Midtown and then you've got Buckhead.
And from a racial perspective, downtown, you don't see many white people there after work hours.
It's a very black portion.
Midtown, whites, you've got a lot of young whites.
It's a very gay area. In fact, Atlanta is one of the things that is pushing the gentrification of Atlanta is I've read studies that Atlanta actually has a larger gay population, Mr.
Taylor, than even San Francisco at this point.
In Midtown, there's actually a street corner where the areas for pedestrians, it's a rainbow flag.
So this shows you how the New South.
And then you move to the areas we talked about earlier where the vote was overwhelmingly in the precincts for Mary Norwood, Buckhead and stuff.
It's just this very spread out city because Atlanta has no natural barriers and that's been one of the problems.
From a geographic perspective is that white people have been able to abandon the city and move to the far suburbs on the way to Chattanooga in the north, on the way to South Carolina, as far out to Gwinnett, and then down to Alabama when you get to places.
Like Noonan and Fayette County, Peachtree City.
White people have run from diversity, but they're at a point now where you're spending three hours a day commuting, and it makes no sense.
Well, this process of at the same time you get a certain amount of gentrification, And, I think among certain blacks, you get this sense that, well, we gave the brothers a chance, and they blew it.
Now, Detroit, what was the guy's name?
Kwame Patrick? Kwame Kirkpatrick?
Kwame Kirkpatrick, yeah. Yes.
The last black mayor.
I think he's doing time. He's sentenced to 28 years in jail.
There was another black mayor who came after him.
He was a former NBA player, and he worked exclusively with Dan Gilbert, who is the CEO of Quicken Loans, who's Who's pumped billions of dollars into Detroit.
I mean, if you go to Detroit now, it's not...
To go to your point, blacks in Detroit are actually taking the same stance that blacks in Atlanta are taking.
Hey, everything is dilapidated.
Everything is blight. Look at what's going on.
Look at this economic energy that Dan Gilbert and all these...
White people are bringing to the city.
This is great for us. What did these blacks ever do in government?
So I think that is the combination of these two things.
White people moving back and black people realizing that, well, their folks have made a terrible mess of things.
Same with Ray Nagin in New Orleans.
That guy was an obvious loser and a mess.
And so now they've got a white mayor too.
The same thing has happened.
Memphis is still majority black.
They have a white mayor. Savannah, Georgia, got a white mayor.
There is an interesting change going on here.
And I sometimes liken it to all the voices you hear out of black Africa.
Or in the Caribbean.
The people who say, well, you know, Barbados, you know, it was just a whole lot better when the white people were running the place.
When the British were running Jamaica, man, you know, it was okay.
These oldsters saying these things.
And some young people saying the same thing.
So, who knows?
I doubt that this is a worldwide phenomenon.
It's going to continue in any meaningful way.
But I think it's not without significance.
Well, it will continue until the white people come back, and then they find a way to tax the white people and loot them to help their cause.
I would like to point out about New Orleans. One of the fascinating things about Ray Nagin is when he gave that infamous, we want to keep this a chocolate city.
I was reading a book about the New Orleans, Katrina, and the aftermath, and the contentious election.
The night before, he had actually spent it with our great friend of the Nation Islam, Louis Farrakhan.
And that was where he started to get the idea that we have to do everything we can to create this economic incentive to bring blacks back to New Orleans.
This is our city. This is one of those things you don't really think about if you don't look back the past hundred years.
New Orleans was 70% white in 1950.
This was a white city. I mean, you want to watch a great movie?
Check out Walter Hill's Hard Times with Charles Bronson.
And it shows this gritty, blue-collar, working-class city.
That was what New Orleans was.
It's a very cool city.
And, you know, the outgoing white mayor, he did some horrible things with regards to the wonderful monuments that one day will be put back up.
But the thing is, a white mayor, he did a lot of great things for the city.
And I think, at the end of the day, your point is correct.
Black mayors put the interests of their people exclusively first.
Exclusively first. You see that in how they promote and they hire within city governments.
Whereas these white mayors are coming in, they realize that, hey, if they want to have a political future, if they have ambitions to run for either state or even national office, they need to do something positive to help everyone.
And that includes the business community.
That's right. They need to do a good job.
That's what it boils down to.
But anyway, so on the one hand, we have these black people in Atlanta saying, maybe give the honky lady a try.
But apparently she missed by just a couple hundred votes.
But I'm sure you're right.
There will be a white mayor in Atlanta's future, as I'm sure there will be in Washington's future.
Things are shifting in that direction as well.
Correct. But at the same time, those who are saying, let's not give white people a try...
I thought that the December 7th op-ed piece by a black woman with the name of Kihana Miriah Ross was particularly interesting.
She is a PhD and a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Texas Institute for Urban Policy Research and Analysis, and I thought it was very significant that the website The Hill should post her essay saying, let's forget about integration.
Let's forget about integration.
She says, and I'm quoting her, the promise of integration in public schools remains largely unrealized.
Here's my suggestion, colon, let the lofty ideal of integration go.
Recognize that it's not going to happen and let's move on.
Let's pool our collective mental energy towards the construction of institutions that might actually be designed to benefit black students.
And to undo the centuries-long assault black students have endured as a result of white supremacist and anti-black educational systems and structures.
Now, of course, this is such craziness.
She's convinced that if blacks go to a white school or they're integrated, then they're going to be subjected to white supremacist and anti-black educational systems and structures.
Let her think that. It's fine.
That's just fine. The point is, she's talking about we need our institutions where we can nurture our people.
We can take responsibility for our successes.
That's great. She's saying, and she concludes by saying, I'm not advocating a return to segregation.
I'm talking about elective separation.
Now, I like that.
How can you not applaud almost everything she said, except for, obviously, the silliness of centuries-long assault, which is, again, no need even mention that.
But the point is, this was published at one of the premier political online outlets in the country.
The Hill has...
They publish tremendous op-eds.
They do great journalism. This is a very astonishing...
Development in the racial discourse in the country.
I mean, this is almost unfathomable.
This is something you might see on, going back to Farrakhan's site, this is something you might see on the Nation of Islam site, and yet it's at the Hill to actually bring this dialogue into the conversation that's taking place.
Now, I can't help but recall that when I made similar arguments about voluntary separation, I like her phrase, by the way, elective separation.
I may have to crib that from her.
I think it's a great thing to copy.
I give her all the credit.
But when I did a series of two YouTube videos on this, the one in which I was proposing this as really the proper and long-term solution for racial friction, it was sent into quarantine.
Oh dear, when white people say these things, no good.
But when black people say them, you know, the Hill publishes them.
What if I had written an article of this kind?
Oh boy, would the Hill publish it?
Absolutely. An American thinker might.
You should actually consider writing a response to her, and I think an American thinker would publish it, to their credit.
Yes, they might. No, they've done some interesting things, American.
They've actually published a few of my essays.
That's why I brought it up. I remember seeing your byline there.
Right, right. But anyway, I thought we would close on this edifying statement from Kihana Miriah Ross.
I hope we'll be hearing a lot more from her, and I hope that she can break into the op-ed pages of Washington Post and New York Times, if we're lucky.
But anyway, oh, I probably also, I would be remiss in my duties as the president of New Century Foundation if I did not take this opportunity to thank all of you who have supported us over the years, and especially this year, by your financial assistance to our undertaking.
As you know, we are a non-profit.
Any contribution is tax-deductible.
This is the end of the year. I hope that you will remember us with the spirit of Christmas.
And again, to all of those who've contributed, thank you.
And although this is probably the least favorite of my functions as the president of New Century Foundation, editor of American Renaissance, I ask you, if you would, to please remember us.
I'd like to go one step further and say that over the past two decades, almost three decades now, has there been an entity, an institution that has done more to keep alive the concept of a renaissance for Americans, or for that matter, formulating a cohesive, coherent blueprint for a Respectable white identity that is actually going to be pragmatic in its approach and attract individuals who are going to understand that things aren't going to turn around overnight.
It takes work. It takes hard work.
It takes decades, unfortunately, to turn back the tide that has been forming and growing
to be such an avalanche to undo our civilization.
And I would encourage you to head to American Renaissance and donate.
Again, tax deductible.
More importantly, you can pick up and it makes a great stocking stuffer for this Christmas.
I would recommend you please pick up a copy of If We Do Nothing, the best writings of Jared Taylor.
He's too modest to point that out, but this is a gift that we'll keep on giving for years to come when you can go back and you can...
Read the fantastic essays that American Horizons has published by Jared Taylor.
So, again, I'd like to just reiterate, please, in the spirit of giving, don't be a Scrooge.
Head over to American Horizons, amrin.com, and make your tax-deductible donation.
Well, thank you much.
Thank you very much, Mr. Kersey, and we'll see you next week.
