Time Text
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Jared Taylor with American Renaissance for another edition of Radio Renaissance.
And, of course, as usual in the studio, we have Paul Kersey with his inimitable and irreplaceable insight on all things racial, immigration, American related.
And I'm glad to be back.
Because I spent nearly two weeks on the road.
I was... I guess it's a little bit pretentious to call it a lecture tour, but I did speak in four different locations.
And I tell you, it was very, very encouraging.
How many languages did you speak on this European excursion?
You know, on this occasion, I spoke French only sort of in the sidelines.
When I was in Belgium, I thought I would be asked to speak in French, but it was mostly in the northern part, and these were Flemish speakers.
And they would have been a little miffed if I had spoken to them in French, especially since their English is better than their French.
These are people who are more attached to Holland than to Belgium.
But no, I spoke at the Skanza Forum, which is run by a fellow named Frode, a great guy.
This is their third meeting.
They had nearly 200 people there.
It's the same wherever I go.
The people who are there are mostly men, which is no surprise.
Young men, smart, fearfully well-informed, and very wide awake and committed.
It's just like the young people at an American Renaissance conference.
All around the world, it's the same kind of guy.
You know, it's funny, this is the 25th anniversary of the year 1993, the movie Falling Down came out, Mr. Taylor, starring Michael Douglas.
A phenomenal film.
I'm actually working on a big piece for V-Day right now on that movie's legacy.
Newsweek actually came out with a cover story asking, in 1993, with Michael Douglas' picture on the cover, saying, you know, is this what white people are going to be like from now on?
And of course, 25 years after the fact, white people have just been falling down even more so than in 1993.
And it's a conference like this that I think one of the things that we need to tell everyone listening to Radio Renaissance and everyone around the world, wherever you are, it's time to stand up.
It's really that simple, and that's what that conference is all about.
That's what all four of these conferences were all about.
White people saying, look, we've had enough.
And so the Skanza Forum, this is their third meeting.
They're getting bigger and better all the time.
And Frodie is an absolutely great guy.
I think I'll have to invite him to an Ameren conference one of these days.
His English is good.
He's an inspiring guy.
Next, I went to Helsinki.
I'd never been to Finland before.
And this was the first openly racialist meeting in Finland in modern times.
And you've got to hand it to them.
Their non-white percentage is tiny, maybe 3%.
But they're already furious.
They're saying, none of this.
There's an almost Hungarian kind of mentality in Finland.
The Finns, the Finns are really patriotic, solid guys.
And so we had about 200 people there too.
So one feeble Antifa guy outside waving at us.
It was really very encouraging.
And then I went to Antwerp.
This was more of a private meeting.
People that I'd been in touch with before.
It was sort of by invitation only.
Maybe about 40, 50 people.
But Philip de Winter was there and Anke van der Meersch.
Some of our AR regulars might have seen them at the conference a year or two ago.
Really, really great people.
And then on to Magdeburg, Germany, where there was a conference put on by this outfit called the Institut für Staatspolitik.
Institute for National Politics.
They are another really impressive bunch.
They are a publishing house.
They put meetings together.
Very, very high-toned intellectual.
And this was a bit of a stretch for them to put a guy like me on the program.
Although they had Greg Johnson and they had Roger Devlin, the three of us were really kind of stretching things in a definitely identitarian direction.
As long as it doesn't break, that's all that matters.
No, so far it has not broken at all.
And the Americans, I think, were a big hit.
Roger Devlin, by the way, he spoke in German.
His German is really pretty good.
I was impressed.
You think about that in all of the world, these four events might have been the only events going on at that time period where individuals are gathering to talk about geopolitical issues.
occurrences and how they impact white people.
White people only.
And then you think about every day in the United States where corporations, where academia, where the private sector, the public sector, their conferences going on constantly about how to improve the lives of people of color.
That's right.
White people meet all around the world, every day, trying to improve things, trying to look at things from the point of view of non-whites.
So rarely do ever white people get together and talk about what is important for them.
But, as I say, this is really encouraging.
This is what I like to call the World Brotherhood of Europeans.
We really are waking up, and it's waking up, it's taking a very similar form, a very high-level intellectual form, solid people, attractive people who are going to these things, and I find it hugely, hugely encouraging.
It's also important that we understand that these meetings that are going on, these events, young people looking to get involved, I really encourage everyone out there to go check out the book Good to Great, read chapter 3 of Jim Collins' book, Who then what?
What matters is make sure you get on the right bus.
There are a lot of organizations.
There's a lot of movements out there.
Make sure you are surrounding yourself with positive people who you want to be involved with and then you can move forward to a goal.
Then you can move forward to concrete action.
It's about getting the right people on the bus who are adaptable and flexible as opposed to being rigid to one course of action and dogmatic in their interpretation of how things must go.
So I do encourage people to do that because we're in this.
This is not a game.
This is not something that we can laugh about or take lightly.
I mean, guys, this is the greatest cause anybody in the world could ever... and probably in world history.
I'm not being hyperbolic here.
There is no greater cause than what's happening right now.
This is a fight for our lives.
As I often say, this is like the men at Thermopylae.
We are with Charles Martel.
We are at the gates of Vienna.
This is like Blood River.
These are white people fighting for their lives.
And our civilization is really more thoroughly threatened than I think at any time in our history.
And I agree.
This is the great struggle of our time.
And for you young people out there, this is going to be your opportunity for greatness.
And while we are urging our listeners, I would point out that the American Renaissance Conference is coming up just a weekend from now, 27th to 29th of April.
We still have a few places, and you can call at our number, 703-716-0900, or you can find us on the net and register, and I welcome people to fill up the last few places.
We still have several dozen, actually.
And we hope to fill them up before the balloon goes up next Friday.
So, yes, it was a really great experience, but I'm glad to be back home and glad to be across the table from Brother Kersey.
Well, let me ask you a question.
When you got back to the United States, you got to the airport, I probably flew into Dulles, and you were walking to baggage claim to retrieve your luggage.
Did you stop by a Starbucks?
I certainly did not.
I've never been much of a Starbucks fan.
And I know where this is leading.
Starbucks.
I think we probably don't really have to recapitulate the events of earlier this week for our listeners, but I will anyway.
It's two black men who walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, they didn't order anything, and they asked to use the restroom.
And Starbucks, in conformity with what is no doubt corporate policy, although they're a little bit mum on this subject right now, told them that's for customers only.
And they said, well, okay, we're just going to sit here anyway.
And since they were not buying anything, the manager of the store, who is a woman, and judging also from her voice on the 9-11 recording, which has now been made available, she certainly sounds like a white woman.
And so she said, well, if you're not going to buy anything, please leave.
You're basically loitering.
They said, we're not going to leave.
We're waiting to meet somebody.
So she called the police, and the 911 recording, and she's very calm.
She said, here are these people.
They are not going to buy anything, and they're not going to leave.
And the police respond immediately.
They say, well sure, of course we'll come.
This is just the kind of thing we like to do, is take care of people who are being where they should not be.
And, of course, as everyone knows, the arrest was filmed and videoed, I should say, and was seen more than a million and a half times, as I understand.
And then, oh, the sky And what everyone has heard about, of course, is Starbucks is going to close all 8,000, 8,000 of its corporate-owned stores in the U.S.
for the afternoon of May 29th to train 170,000 staff to conduct, as they call it, racial bias education geared toward preventing discrimination in our stores.
Now, it's estimated the company, simply by closing for that afternoon, will forego $12 million in revenue.
But, apparently, this is just a small price to pay to do right by these poor black people who have been victims of racial discrimination.
Now, the question that nobody seems to be asking, at least certainly not in the mainstream media, but all over the alternate, so to speak, is, wait a minute.
If this is policy, she would have done that no matter who, no matter who they were.
If you don't, if you come in and you don't buy anything, and you say you're not going to buy anything, restrooms for clients only, that is across the board.
What corporate America practically without exception practices.
I've been to Starbucks before where I had to purchase something to be able to use the Wi-Fi.
I was in an area where I had a meeting and it was vital that I get online.
This was just about the time that iPhones and the smartphone revolution had taken place.
I needed to use their Wi-Fi service, my laptop, and I had to scrounge to find enough money to cover the cost of a simple coffee just so I could use the Wi-Fi.
What we're seeing with this incident, it's a election year.
If you think about the whole Sacramento shooting, which that happened I believe while you were gone, how that has now sort of abated in terms of news coverage.
You're seeing more and more of these episodes getting a lot of media attention because you're trying to drive up, I believe it is trying to get the black vote ready to go.
You're trying to get election year issues.
But at the same time, there's an editorial in the South Jersey Times editorial board.
They actually wrote an entire editorial, Mr. Taylor, basically insinuating that this is the 21st century version of a Rosa Parks moment, the freedom rider, where this whole concept of no loitering signs is basically the equivalent of a whites only sign.
And having these policies in place to protect businesses so you don't have a bunch of people using the bathroom.
Who knows what nefarious acts are going on in there?
Just sitting around scaring away paying customers with that perception of being a place that attracts an unruly and off-putting clientele.
I mean Starbucks, Mr. Taylor, a couple years ago they decided to jump into the whole Ferguson nonsense and they had the whole hashtag race together concept where the baristas, where their employees were going to start a dialogue on race.
That's right.
This was their goal.
This was a corporate policy by, I believe the gentleman's name, the CEO at the time was Howard Schultz.
They took a lot of blowback from that but what's so funny about that is that they ended up, because Starbucks Starbucks locations are almost overwhelmingly in predominantly white areas.
I would imagine that outside of the airport customers, your average Starbucks customer, 80% of the time, is a Caucasian.
Well, except they put one in Ferguson.
They did.
They put 15 in low-income areas.
They put one in Ferguson.
I believe they put one in Jackson, Mississippi, which is an 80% black city.
They put one in Trenton.
I'd love to know how profitable and popular they are.
And I'd love to know what their loitering policies are like.
You could find out pretty easily.
I actually did look up the Ferguson one, and they claim that it was in the black, so to speak, financially.
Also, obviously, with Ferguson's demographics, it's in the black clientele-wise as well.
But I really want to call out to this editorial because it's one of these snarky Starbucks is too white, and they point out that, you know, Additionally, while Starbucks has a Harlem location and opened a much valued outlet in Trenton in December, Trenton, New Jersey is shockingly black and non-white.
New Jersey might soon be a majority-minority state with the high black population there.
The editorial goes on to say, we don't see a lot of them in neighborhoods of color in the Delaware Valley.
Seattle, where the chain was born, has a black population of just 7.9%.
So perhaps there is something in the corporate culture that the company has avoided dealing with honestly as it expanded across the globe."
Now, it's almost as if saying, how dare your black population in King County Be so small!
How is the city discriminated against blacks?
Don't you want a black population of 15, 20, 30%?
Don't you want to be like Baltimore where you've got a black population of 70%?
Isn't this what you want?
That's the only way to be legitimate in the eyes of the white editorial boards of newspapers across the country.
Well, that may or may not be their point.
Their point is these poor, isolated Starbucks executives who never have to deal with the joys of diversity.
They just don't understand black people.
And if maybe Seattle were a little bit darker, they would know that there's just loads of money, a gold mine, in putting these places in the ghetto.
Of course, I'm sure Starbucks, I'm sure they have a very carefully worked out formula for where they put these places.
They put them where they know there's a demand.
They put them where there can be a profit.
And if there was a demand, if there was profit right in the middle of south-central LA, that's where they'd put them.
This stuff is just so hypocritical.
Well, it's simple capitalism.
Howard Schultz, before he stepped down, admitted that these locations they were going to put in places like Ferguson and areas that would predominantly serve a minority.
A black population.
It wouldn't be a minority because it's a majority black area.
So, whites would be the minority.
They wanted to give opportunities for entrepreneurship for black employees.
They would then carry, in the article I read about Ferguson, they carry this one black bakeries, this one black bakery employee, her goods, and now they're going to try and have other locations in St.
Louis carry that.
So they're trying to help blacks out, but at the same time you then see, if I may say this, this whole episode is demonstrative of this concept that we've dismantled our civilization to accommodate a people who feel entitled to behave indecently because the color of their skin keeps them from being sufficiently judged by their lack of character.
It's a mouthful, but you look at the way that these two black gentlemen behaved and they acted.
They were smiling.
It comes out today that they claim that they were fearful for their lives, Mr. Taylor.
But they're laughing as they're being arrested.
I'm sorry, if I was scared for my life, I wouldn't be laughing.
Well, the NAACP, what is it they said about this?
These arrests represent, quote, another ominous signal on the increasingly dangerous environment for African Americans.
Good grief!
You're asked to leave a store and you don't leave.
I mean, that's, first of all, a provocation.
You're not a customer.
You're trespassing under those circumstances.
And if you refuse to leave, and they call the police, this is the increasingly dangerous environment for African-Americans.
I mean, the NAACP puts this out with a straight face, and then the mainstream media publishes stuff with a straight face.
It's just astonishing.
What Starbucks itself has decided to do with this this education program.
They're gonna train their 175,000 staffers.
They're cooking something up with the help of Sherrilyn Ifill, who is the president and director counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund.
I'm sure it's just gonna be delightful.
Eric Holder is gonna get a payday here, too.
I'd be curious to know just how much these people are charging to participate in cooking up this little curriculum and Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
Well, it's going to be a delightful, delightful payday for all those people, I'm sure.
My hope is that if there's a Starbucks employee listening to this, discreetly film, record this session, record this Unconscious bias racial training where you're going to be told that, you know, implicit racism, structural inequality, white privilege of the baristas because they don't understand people of colors.
The problems that they persist every day.
I mean, look at this quote from Howard Schultz, Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
The Starbucks executive chairman said, quote, there's no doubt in my mind that the reason that they, the police, were called was because they were African-Americans.
Yes.
How does he know that?
Has he spoken to this woman?
What is he on about here?
And just imagine the kind of hell that this poor woman is going through.
It's just astonishing here that the big cheese, the whole organization is accusing her right out of saying it's just pure race, pure race, pure race.
And let's assume, let's assume perhaps that there is no policy and that she did act on the basis of race.
Is that necessarily a wrong thing?
I bet she has seen a lot of loitering going on.
I bet she's seen a certain pattern of behavior.
Now, I can't say for sure about this, but this is one of the problems inherent in multiracialism, is that on a broad-based base, you do not get the same behavior from different groups.
And if you start recognizing patterns and taking account of those patterns, then you're in trouble.
At the same time, what strikes me as remarkable about this is that the actions of one woman, one white woman, mean that 175,000 people have got to undergo training.
This is the way white people react.
There is one episode.
I mean, you can have one maniac or fairly typical black murderer or black mugger or black rapist.
Nobody says, okay, we have to now educate or desensitize or re-educate hundreds of thousands of people.
It doesn't work that way.
Only for white people.
Back in 1997 in Georgetown, there was this black guy who executed three Starbucks employees.
I don't know if you remember this story.
One of them had been an intern with the Democratic With Bill Clinton, so a lot of people thought that it was somehow connected to the whole Clinton conspiracy, blah, blah, blah.
No.
It was a black guy who wanted to rob the store and he blew away three Starbucks employees.
He executed them.
One was pleading for their life.
One was black, two were white.
And, you know, again, you would think, hey, there's a great opportunity.
Let's talk about crime.
Let's talk about, you know, like you said, if one person's, if we're going to have this This concept where the actions of one person somehow must reflect the actions of all white employees, that we have to then get this bias out of their minds.
We're not going to talk about this too much at length, but that one picture of the Starbucks with the bullhorn.
Have you seen the image of the white guy looking just resolute when you realize, hey, that's how a Trump supporter is born.
Well, no, as you point out, for several days now, demonstrators, black and white, have been invading this Philadelphia store, yelling with bullhorns, chanting all sorts of rubbish.
And one of them openly said, our plan is to make sure this store just doesn't make any money all day long.
We're going to scare away customers.
Now, If you've got people with bullhorns in your store, why aren't they arrested?
I think under ordinary circumstances, that's what you would do.
They are not customers.
They are genuine trespassers.
They're disturbing the peace.
But of course, Starbucks is just too emasculated, too utterly jellyfish to do anything normal like arrest these people.
The more Starbucks cucks, the more red-pilled your average white person is going to get.
If 80% of Starbucks clientele is white, just imagine What that would do to Starbucks' bottom line if 5% of the customers nationwide decide to go to Caribou Coffee or McDonald's.
You go to McDonald's, even though McDonald's has a corporate policy of being $3.65 black, a cup of coffee only costs you $1 all day.
And we're not being sponsored by McDonald's.
It's just, you know, just do some simple mathematics here.
You can spend how much at Starbucks or you can go to McDonald's and get a dollar a cup of coffee.
Well, you know, it's stories like this that I hope that the ordinary white person, the ordinary white man or woman, looks at something like this and is as disgusted as we are.
I think and hope that many, many, many of them are.
This kind of craven, crawling behavior, it's just, it's unbelievable.
Something that our parents or our grandparents could never Starbucks wanted a conversation on race back in 2015.
They were laughed at for doing this.
They dropped it.
But guess what?
They're now forced to have this conversation.
It's turned out to be a monologue against white people nationwide.
That this is somehow illustrative of tiny, easy coats, black bodies nonsense, and it's all upon us for denying black people coffee.
Well, guess what?
You're about to see a coffee desert pop up in this area if these Starbucks close.
And then how are blacks going to be able to get their caffeine fix?
They've got other fixes there we're more worried about, I suspect.
Now, of course, these two men have been approached by corporate headquarters.
Here, this is Howard Schultz.
He's still got an honorary position there.
He's not CEO.
I think he's got some other fancy title.
He says, we've found these two guys down, and here's what he says.
They have an interest in real estate.
What can we do to help advise them and support their own business endeavors?
We will provide them with a foundation of learning and provide them with an opportunity to be part of our company, either directly or indirectly, as a result of this situation.
Give them a franchise.
Why not?
Let them run a franchise.
Good grief!
What can we do next?
But there is one silver lining in this.
You know, there have been calls for the police to be fired.
That's one of the things that the demonstrators have been howling about as they chant such idiotic slogans as, It goes, a whole lot of racism, a whole lot of crap.
Starbucks coffee is anti-black.
It's got a good rhyme.
It's got a good rhythm to it.
Yes, that's Nobel Prize stuff, I'd say.
In any case, one of the things that these people are chanting in favor of is firing the police officers.
Well, apparently that has not gone very far because the Philadelphia Police Commissioner, Richard Ross, said these officers did absolutely nothing wrong.
I mean, that is so obvious.
They're called to collect trespassers.
They want to about their jobs in an entirely professional manner.
As you say, there's video.
One of the arresting officers is black, by the way.
Better fire him, too, because he's absorbed all of the white supremacy that permeates American society, I suppose.
I believe the commissioner also is a black man as well.
Oh, well then, all the better.
Doesn't surprise me.
And then the other thing, this fellow by the name of Brian Sharp, he goes by the name of Hotep Jesus.
He went into a Starbucks, and at the height of all of this whooping and hollering, he walks up to some white girl barista, And he says, hey, I've come to get my Starbucks reparation voucher.
I'd like some coffee.
I hear y'all don't like black people.
And black privilege.
So he actually gets a free cup of coffee from this girl.
This girl is just buffalo, doesn't know what to do.
Poor cowed, spineless white person.
And then he goes on to say, black privilege gets me free coffee.
I love racism.
Only in America.
I mean, here's a guy who understands it.
Apparently these HOTEP folks, they really are against all this black whining.
Well, the true privilege for white people in America is to be steamrolled by black entitlement, and this entire episode is just...
A clear-cut definition of what I call black-run America.
Mr. Taylor, I know you laugh at that phrase.
It's not that blacks actually run America, it's that America is run for the sole purpose of providing whatever we can to enhance and help blacks in their life, from cradle to grave.
Well, you know, I listen to Japanese radio, just to keep my language skills from going too rusty.
And I'm proud to report that on NHK, which is the national broadcaster, they had a very simple explanation of what happened.
These two men were chased away because of racism, and they had a little commentary on this, and they said that Starbucks' decision to close down for half a day and educate their 175,000 staff, that was just wonderful.
That's the way corporations should behave.
The Japanese, if that happened in Japan, there wouldn't be this kind of screaming.
But when it comes to the United States, even the Japanese are prepared to take the side of the anti-white shakedown artists.
It's really a worldwide, and I'm sure every country all around the world, the story is a very simple one.
This is pure racism, and Starbucks is going to get what it deserves, and it's going to get it good and Corporate America is a global force for spreading the concept of black entitlement and all the nations that want to do business in this multinational corporate world structure.
You better be prepared to bow down to that line of the costs of doing business now.
Yes.
But this whole idea that whites as a group have to be punished because of the behavior of, in this case, a single person.
And who, as I say, I would love to know whether or not she was simply carrying out corporate policy.
It must be corporate policy just about everywhere.
If people are loitering, and if these guys are victims, if what this woman did was wrong, then doesn't that mean that you can camp out at a Starbucks?
You can use their toilet as often as you like, sit there all day, use their Wi-Fi, and not spend a penny?
Isn't that what this means?
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
If you're in an area where you need to have a key to be able to use a restroom, you need to leave that area immediately.
You should want to always be in an area where a restroom is inviting, where they don't have that type of problem of loitering, where you have to get a key to use a bathroom because they've had problems.
Obviously, there's been an instance before that has educated the manager or the people who own this business that we need to lock up portions of our building.
That's why I suspect this woman was recognizing a pattern.
She has seen this before.
It's not in every Starbucks that you have to get a key to go to the men's room.
And she has seen something that has made that necessary, and my suspicion is that the behavior that made that necessary is color-coded.
But back to this idea of collective guilt and collective punishment.
California Polytechnic State University, better known as Cal Poly, they have shut down all of their frats and sororities, or at least they have suspended it.
Synedia, in other words, we don't know how long it's going to be suspended.
And it's because Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity There were photos of one member wearing blackface and
others posing and dressing up like gang members And then it was discovered that three Sigma Nu members
dressed as gang members. This is all that was happened This is all that was done and they're gonna shut down the
entire Greek system This to me is again astonishing. I frankly I've never quite
understood why Putting on blackface is supposed to be such an egregious
thing. But apparently easy there Al Jolson Well, I mean, I mean isn't imitation the sincerest form of
flattery?
I don't know.
But this is practically a hanging offense.
Now, apparently, Cal Poly is saying that they are unable to punish the individuals, which is quite interesting.
They're not going to suspend them, they're not going to expel them, but they're just going to shut down the whole fraternity system.
Once again, the behavior of a few people is reason to punish Everybody involved.
This is the way the country deals when it comes to white people.
It's reverse utilitarianism.
The needs of the colored few outweigh the needs of the white many.
Even though I'm sure Cal Polytechnic Institute, State Institute, I'm sure it's white student body is, I don't know, 30% if that.
Probably heavily Asian schools.
Probably heavily Asian, but they're going to hire diversity officers.
They're going to make all sorts of ways to make the place more welcoming to non-whites.
I wonder how they could possibly make it more welcoming.
All of these campuses, they just knock themselves out.
Just ban white males from being admitted to the school and then there you go.
Well, maybe that's it.
Maybe that's the final solution.
That's not the final solution, but that's one step closer to the solution to the problem of whiteness, which I regret to inform our listeners.
I do have a very despondent view on where all this is headed if we don't do something.
We are doing things.
We are doing things.
People are waking up.
As I say, all around the world, people are waking up.
And they see things... Well, I don't want to go over old ground here, but it's remarkable how easily my conversation tracks with a guy from Germany, a guy from France, a guy from Australia.
Everybody sees all this in exactly the same way.
You know someone, Mr. Taylor, who saw this 50 years ago?
We'll talk to him.
We'll talk about him.
Oh, no, no.
In fact, I want to read a few quotations.
Okay.
Yes, yes.
We will get to that.
We will get to that.
But another interesting item, this one actually is from Australia.
It was found that the biggest Black Lives Matter Facebook page turned out to be a hoax.
It had nearly 700,000 followers.
It was run by an Australian guy.
And he has a little business of registering dozens of domain names That are things like black civil rights or various kinds of civil rights related domain names.
And he had actually brought in more than $100,000 in donations through third-party online fundraisers like PayPal and Patreon.
Whereas the real Black Lives Matter Facebook page, they have only about 200,000 followers.
About half, about less than half of this sort of phony page.
Now, when you think about it, why did this phony page have so many followers?
Well, it turns out that he had done a very good job of taking these sort of pro-black articles and whooping them up, but that just can't be.
And so I suppose we do have to be serious about the idea of impersonation.
So he was taken down, but I do think it was comical.
Yeah, he was just perfecting the art of digital blackface.
Lives Matter supporters than the official page.
He was just perfecting the art of digital blackface.
And obviously, what's going to be fascinating, I have not read, but he probably put a lot of money
into this Facebook page to boost posts, to go to various, do some really high level targeting.
They said it was not known whether or not he had actually bought ads.
But the fact that he'd raised $100,000, maybe he was just doing this as a sideline business.
Pretty profitable.
It's like these Russian guys who put sites together for fake news and make loads and loads of money on their advertising.
This just sounds like online entrepreneurialism.
You drive the traffic from Facebook, and you monetize that traffic with ads, and you have a good CPM rate.
Yeah, you're gonna make some money.
It's simple economics.
Why would you not partake in something that obviously there is a demand for it?
Digital blackface.
I like that.
Did you just invent that on the fly?
I thought that was very good.
I did.
So for any of our enterprising listeners out there, Trying to create a website of this nature.
Not advocating that, but obviously this Australian guy down under, he found a way to monetize black hate.
That's all Black Lives Matter is, these stories.
I read some of the stories that they did and they were nothing more than agitating blacks to feel irate and to To have nothing but acrimony toward whites.
Well, you know, I suppose, in a way, I'm guilty of digital blackface myself.
Did I ever tell you the story about how I got a free 23andMe analysis?
Did I ever tell you this?
No.
I was just nosing around on some black sites, internet sites.
I forget which ones.
The Root?
No, it was not The Root.
And there was a solicitation from 23andMe for a free analysis.
Free!
Because, as you know, these things are patronized almost exclusively by white people, and they want to be inclusive.
And they're prepared to give away free analysis for people that they think are black.
Now, I was very careful.
At no point did I have to say, yes, I am African American or anything like that.
If I'd had to lie about it, I would not have done so.
A man of honor.
But simply the fact that I was on that site and went through that portal, they sent me the kit for free.
And so I spat in the cup, did all that good stuff, and I got my analysis back.
And then for some time, they would send me medical reports on latest breakthroughs in sickle cell anemia and black rates of prostate cancer.
Then it dawned on them that, well, I am 100% white after all, so I stopped getting that.
But yes, I am guilty of digital blackface.
So for those people listening, if you want to get a free 23andMe test, frequent black websites... I don't know if they still do this.
I cannot promise.
And many people have asked me, what site was that?
And for the life of me, I cannot remember if this is a true story.
I guarantee you the same website, if you can figure out what it is.
Starbucks will probably do some sort of offer where if you click on a link, we'll send you a $10 Starbucks gift card or, you know, use this QR code, download it, and get a free Starbucks.
So, definitely head over there if you want to get your... That's right.
That's right.
If you're enterprising, you can make the most of it because, after all, when you're on the internet, nobody has to look you in the face and say that you are not the right... If you want to keep... If you want to keep...
your bank account in the black, pretend you're black by visiting and donning the digital
blackface.
Okay, very good, very good.
Speaking of black, there's a recent very interesting story about a thing called Charlotte Law School.
This was a private law school located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
And it is the first law school in the history of the country to be cut off from the Federal Student Loan Program because of intense mismanagement.
Now this was, they charged about $40,000 a year.
It was clearly just a profit-making mill.
And very few of the graduates of Charlotte Law School were able to pass the bar exam.
They've had an overall passing rate of just 9.5%, which is pretty abysmal.
Now, on the other hand, even at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in 2017, their passing rate had dropped from 65% to 46%.
So the North Carolina bar is probably pretty stiff, but in any case, They lost their accreditation with a student loan program, and all of a sudden, their application just dried up.
Now, clearly, they had a student body that was very, very heavily dependent on student loans, and this is sort of the key sentence.
They said that the school was, quote, meeting its core obligation of offering non-traditional law school candidates the chance at a legal education.
That's what they do for a living.
And Jay Conason, who has led the for-profit school for nearly four years, just resigned recently.
He's a black man.
Yes, he is black.
Now, also, this is really a low-rent law school.
When you look at the acceptance rate of 64.7%, that's unheard of.
The entering class median GPA is 2.8.
is 2.8. 2.8. It's 64% female, 37% male, and it has a majority of minority students.
2.8.
57%, 42% of whom are black.
Now, I hate to think of the 43% who are white there.
In any case, this appears to be basically a scam.
It was put together to make minorities think they were getting a legal education, let them in despite the fact that they're unqualified really to be lawyers, And fleece them for loads of money that they can get from the Federal Student Loan Program.
This is really a very sad tale, but I think that's the kind of thing we're going to see more and more of as time goes on.
This really is your Black Run America.
Look, this is a story that accentuates what's happening across the board with colleges, not just for-profit but your traditional four-year institutions that rely so heavily on student loans to underwrite the, you know, The student's ability to pay for this type of enrollment.
That's probably the biggest bubble.
The egalitarian bubble that keeps afloat this decrepit, decaying society is really big.
But that student loan bubble, my god, that's one that is just...
Well, when you look at the default rates by the different schools, the HC, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities, those places have spectacularly high default rates.
Yes, they do.
But frankly, I feel sorry for the students who went to this Charlotte Law School.
They thought they were getting a legal education, they got in-debt up to their ears, and then they can't pass the bar, and then the place just closed.
Did I mention that?
They just had to shut it down.
What a scam.
What a terrible thing.
There are schools like this nationwide, and what I'd love to know is how many of these, because the school was so heavily minority and female, how many of these black lawyers are now working for district attorney offices across the country?
Don't forget, they have to pass the bar first.
They have to pass the bar, of course they do.
You know how highly sought after a black female lawyer is to work within the private sector.
Look at someone like Marilyn Mosby, who is the Baltimore State Attorney, who famously admitted that she went out of her way after she graduated from Tuskegee to write to schools to try and get her in because she performed so poorly in the LSAT.
She was an admitted affirmative action baby.
Yep, she knew which side her bread was buttered on, no question about it.
And it's, you know, on the one hand, they accuse us of the most ferocious discrimination,
On the other hand, they openly operate in a system that they know will discriminate in their favor.
And they see no contradiction between those two things.
Now, April 20th, Coming up, that's just a few days from now, will be the 50th anniversary of the famous Enoch Powell speech, which is known as the Rivers of Blood speech.
Enoch Powell, he was the youngest Briton ever to hold a cabinet position.
He was a shadow defense minister in the conservative opposition to Edward Heath back in 1968 when this speech was first read.
And just as a kind of interesting sidelight, the BBC had an actor read the entire speech aloud over the air.
And they read it in chunks so that the parts that are considered offensive today could be analyzed and critiqued.
But the reaction, it was almost as if the BBC had gone full Nazi and people saying, oh my, how can this, how can this possibly be?
How can this possibly be put out over the air?
Well, this speech, I'd like to read a few passages from it.
The actor, by the way, before you do, it's important to note that the actor they hired was the gentleman who portrayed Senator Palpatine in the Star Wars prequels, who of course becomes Emperor Palpatine, the head of the Galactic Empire.
A lot of people have made note of that because he famously said, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
And when you think about what you're about to read in terms of Powell's speech, very prescient.
Yes, very prescient.
Powell will one day be regarded with a statue, I believe.
England will prevail.
I know Greg Norwood will like that line if he listens.
England will prevail, as much as we like to call them Cuck Island.
There is a spirit Well, the Brits have to wake up, just like everybody else.
And it is their turn, just like it is our turn, just like it is Germany, France, Italy's turn.
waiting to be tapped in within the British people.
The Brits have to wake up, just like everybody else.
And it is their turn, just like it is our turn, just like it is Germany, France, Italy's turn.
And it is happening, I'm glad to say.
But I think, in fact, one of the most, I think, insightful lines is the very first line,
in which Enoch Powell says, "'The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide
against preventable evils, but in seeking to do so it encounters obstacles.'"
One is that such evils are not demonstrable until they have occurred.
At each stage in their onset there is room for doubt, for dispute, whether these evils may be real or imaginary.
By the same token, they attract little attention in comparison with current troubles, which are both indisputable and pressing.
Whence the besetting temptation of all politics to concern itself with the immediate present
at the expense of the future."
I think that's a very insightful commentary on the nature of politics.
And this idea that statesmanship should provide against preventable evils.
I mean, this is a preventable evil that he saw 50 years ago, this rush of non-whites into Britain.
And then there's a famous line here.
I think this is probably one of the most famous lines in the whole speech.
He says, Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.
We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some
50,000 dependents.
He's talking about this is the chain migration of the time.
These were people who were the dependents, their children, who knows what all else, of the Empire, who were British subjects and who temporarily had the right to just come without any questions asked into the UK.
And then he says, it is like watching a nation busily engage in heaping up its own funeral pyre.
I think that's a lovely, lovely, a terrifying and lovely image.
You know, it's fascinating.
Enoch Powell was basically the British version of Ravelo Oliver, if you think about it.
They were both classicists and had Oliver actually run for office after his incident
with the John Birch Society where he famously dropped out.
He gave a great speech, Conspiracy or Degeneracy, in 1964, which I think is quite good as well
in a lot of ways.
But it is nowhere near the importance of this speech because he, of course, Enoch was an
elected official who a lot of people believed was going to be the next prime minister.
Oh, he had a chance.
He had a real chance.
But he knew.
He knew that this was taking his political life in his hands.
And he was relegated to the sidelines forever after.
It was despite the fact that he got thousands and thousands of letters of support.
This was before the days of email.
They had to hire people practically to haul in and haul away these enormous bundles of letters he got.
But let's see how he talks.
He then talks about the integration of immigrants.
He says, Now we are seeing the growth of positive forces acting against integration, of vested interests in the preservation and sharpening of racial and religious differences.
Sound familiar?
With a view to the exercise of actual domination, first over fellow immigrants and then over the rest of the population.
I mean, what more fresh insight can there be on Muslim immigration into Britain and all of Europe today?
When I read this for the first time, I'd never encountered Enoch Powell's name in high school, but in college I read the speech and it just, it hit me.
I read Camp of the Saints about the same time and it was, it was overwhelming.
Because you start to understand there were, there was opposition.
There were people trying to say, hey, wake up!
You know, we are the clear-cut majority right now.
You can look across the country and you can drive and not see a single non-British face, but there's something on the horizon that if it is not kept in check, like you just said, that great line, you know, to exercise actual domination first over fellow immigrants and then over the rest of the population.
He would not live to see that moment, but he knew it was coming.
He could see it coming.
He could see it coming.
Yep, yep, yep.
And then there's that famous line, as I look ahead I'm filled with foreboding.
Like the Roman, I see, and this is a quotation, the river Tiber foaming with much blood.
And this is of course what somewhat inaccurately gives its name to the speech, the rivers of blood speech.
You never use that term.
But this is actually from Virgil's Aeneid.
In which the Greek priestess Sybil is prophesying a great war in Rome and the Tiber flowing with blood.
And then the conclusion, the conclusion of his talk, he's talking about the United States.
This is a guy who was a very, very intelligent observer of the U.S.
as well.
He says, The tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic But which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the states itself.
He's talking about the U.S.
He says the U.S.
had this problem to begin with is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect.
Indeed, it has all but come.
In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century.
And that is exactly what they've gotten.
They've gotten a race problem of American proportions that they got by their own volition and their own neglect.
They invited upon themselves, of course at the time America was roughly, probably eighty 87% white in 1968.
Very small non-white population outside of blacks.
It's funny, you think about 1968 when the speech was given on April 20th.
It was a year later that Apollo 11 takes off from Cape Canaveral and we land on the moon.
You think about how sad it is that all this is going on.
That a man of Enoch Powell's stature, he sees what's happening.
A moment where you've got this opportunity for a 2001 Space Odyssey type future.
Or a situation like out of Zulu.
The movie Zulu.
Again, I was born well after this revolution had taken place, well after the victory, hopefully a pirate victory for the time being, but it's just so sad to read this speech and to think that so few people took heed of this action.
And yet, and yet, this speech got an enormous amount of publicity and it got an enormous amount of support.
Ordinary Britain said, yes, it's about time.
And yet, this is one of those typical cases of the way our elites, who claim to speak in the name of the people, who claim to love liberal democracy, so long as it's liberal, thwart the will of the people.
The British people did not want this.
The British people would have had this shoved down their throats.
But here was a man who saw it coming and basically sacrificed his entire political career because of this.
I hope someday there is a monument to United Power.
Well, and that monument should simply be him standing up, standing firm and resolute.
And on the base of the pedestal, it should simply read, Quote, only resolute and urgent action will avert an even now.
Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know.
All I know is that to see and not to speak would be the great betrayal.
And it would simply state, he spoke.
That's right.
And that's how we remember somebody of Enoch Powell's stature because in his In his earthly existence, he dared speak to ensure that he didn't participate in that great betrayal.
And for so doing, he gave us this magnificent speech which is still vilified by the elite today, but at the same time, when you read it, you realize Oh my God.
The so-called racists were right.
And I'm confident that this realization will become increasingly widespread.
The so-called racists were right.
Because what you just quoted here really is lovely.
All I know is that to see and not to speak would be the great betrayal.
Now there's a man with integrity.
There's a man with guts.
There's a man who cares about his country and his people.
It practically brings tears to my eyes.
I was tearing up reading it, thinking about that.
Yes, yes.
That simple.
Well, and this is the kind of man from whom we must and do take inspiration.
Because he speaks to us over half a century ago.
He speaks straight to our hearts.
Hey, it's the 30th anniversary of Solzhenitsyn's speech to Harvard coming up.
And what did he say?
It was about, does Western man have the courage to exist in this new world that has been birthed?
And in a lot of ways, there is carryover from Powell's speech to his speech that he gave just 10 years later.
Yes, yes indeed.
So I think we'll conclude on that note.
And those of you whose hearts resonated to the words of Ian McPowell, if you do have the opportunity, I do urge you to come take part in the American Renaissance Conference, which will be the last weekend of this month.
I will never forget a man walked in, this must have been his maybe second or third conference, and he walks up to me with a big grin on his face and he says, it's great to be among the living again.
And that's what it's like to be in a room full of 250, 300 people, all of whom understand.
It's a great experience.
So if you can make it down to Nashville, Tennessee, Montgomery Belle State Park, we will have a lovely time.
We look forward to seeing you.
Hey, for Jared Taylor, this is Paul Kersey.
Our time is up.
