Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to today's Radio Renaissance.
I have with me in the studio, as usual, Paul Kersey, and I'm Jared Taylor.
We are back from another successful American Renaissance conference.
Unfortunately, Mr. Kersey was not able to attend, but I believe he's heard some of the wonderful reports, and I'll just touch on some of the highlights.
Something that everyone noticed, of course, was the very intense security that we'd had.
And I must say, I am deeply, deeply grateful to the state of Tennessee.
They had over a hundred officers available for us, and I don't think I've ever felt more protected in my life.
The state of Tennessee had heard some chatter on the internet about Antifa, who were promising that this was going to be the last American Renaissance Conference, certainly in the state of Tennessee.
And the Antifa were also claiming that if the state permitted this conference to go forward, they would hold the state accountable.
Now, I'm just not sure what they had in mind in terms of how they were going to do that.
But in any case, the state, and I'm very grateful for this, they took their responsibility to protect our First Amendment rights.
I think also they learned the lesson of Charlottesville.
They realize that when people mix up, there are possibilities that could be unpleasant.
And, as one of the security men said to me before the conference even began, we don't want to be the next news story.
So it sounds as though Tennessee, just as they did in Noonan, Georgia, as I understand.
What was it the week before?
There had been a demonstration and a counter-demonstration, but the police had been very, very good about keeping the demonstrators separate.
The police were forceful about keeping demonstrators not only separate, but also enforcing the mask rule in public, where there are some videos of police Interacting with the Antifa in an aggressive manner because they refuse to comply and cooperate with police.
At the end of the day, the lessons of Charlottesville for our side are so obvious.
So obvious.
No need to get into that.
But your successful event...
The way that the police treated you fairly and they looked at the event that American Renaissance put on in 2018 down in Tennessee as a legitimate exercise of freedom of speech.
I think that's so important.
Moving forward, it is all about proper planning for any of the type of events that we're going to participate in.
Of course, at the end of the day, the great lesson also has to be the end game.
When you gather together, what are you trying to do?
Are you trying to make a demonstration for a monument, for a statue to keep it up?
Or are you trying to actually have a legitimate conversation about how to move forward to ensure that there is a viable future for our posterity, but that we do things not just legally, but as gentlemanly and as The old optics debate comes in here, Mr. Taylor.
You've been doing this since 1990.
You've had successful conferences.
They used to be every other year.
Since what, 2009, 2010?
They're every year.
That's right.
Our first was in 1994, actually.
Yes.
I think a lot of it, and I think we'd be remiss if we didn't point out the wonderful work that Mr. Woof did.
Oh, gosh.
I tell you, this was for me the most carefree conference ever because he handled virtually all the details.
It was great.
But all we have ever wanted to do is hold a meeting.
Now, we had a number of advantages.
First of all, we've been at that venue seven straight years.
And this means that people know us.
They know very well that if there's going to be a disturbance, we didn't cause it.
And the police were prepared to explain to us what the circumstances were and I think they realized that they needed to protect us and that was all they needed to do.
Just keep the demonstrators away.
Last year some of them came into the building itself and used the restroom.
Some tried to take photographs of people.
They'd go up to the windows and make faces and make obscene gestures at us.
This time the police, they held them so far away we could hardly see them and hardly hear them.
You've come a long way since in the mid-90s C-SPAN broadcast the conferences I can remember and reading stories by national media outlets like the Washington Post about some of the events in the mid-2000s.
I would argue though that we are better positioned in 2018 than ever before because of the still we have access to the internet obviously social media is trying to crack down with the lawsuit you have going on however there is more energy there's more Synergy and there's there's a positive vibe whatever happened in 2016 at the end of 2016 and 2017 that's in the past and I think that the 2018 American results conference was in a lot of ways a catharsis for people who came some individuals I've spoke to they said that this is It was a breath of fresh air because you know there had been some negativity there had been some of the sadness from the events the unite the right event regardless of the
Regardless of what that event was trying to do and the legal outcomes and all that's happened since then, I don't think there's too many people who are going to be defending saying we need to be doing that stuff again anytime soon.
Well, it was important that we actually pull off a peaceful and successful event.
When you get 250-300 people in a room who all understand, it is an invigorating thing, an absolutely invigorating thing.
We had great speakers, we had great interactions, we had a great party Saturday night.
Some people said it was the best American Renaissance conference they'd ever attended.
Of course, there were very few there who've attended every single one the way I have.
But so they don't necessarily have the full range to make that comparison.
But the more people think that it was the best ever, the happier I am.
It was a great concert.
People missed out.
I hope to make the 2019 event, I believe it's going to be at the same venue, correct?
That's correct.
And we already have a date.
It will be May 17th through 19th.
So be there or be square.
Only a boomer would say something like that.
That's right.
I plead guilty and my generation is guilty.
But yes, it was really a great time and there is nothing like the kind of fellowship you get in an event of that kind.
And I really like it also because so much of it just stays under one roof.
We have those 125 rooms in the hotel.
People can stay.
They don't have to drive anywhere.
They can socialize and network till late at night.
Unfortunately, that's not enough to hold the whole conference.
We have some people staying off-site, but there were absolutely no disturbances with Antifa, no problems at all, and we're looking forward to having a wonderful, successful conference next year, too.
You just got back from Europe, where you were invigorated by attending a number of events.
I believe the first racial conference ever in the history of Finland was held that you attended.
Talk to me about those coming, almost piggybacking off of each other, and where things go from now.
Well, there was a lot of coordination between the four different events.
Once the Skansa Forum was established, and people all around Europe recognized there were going to be good speakers at the Skansa Forum, then they decided to have some of us also go to Helsinki, some of us go to Germany.
It worked out brilliantly.
And again, to me, what is so impressive about it is the number of really just fearfully well-informed, bright, hard-working, attractive people.
And it's so interesting to me, you could almost interchange the audiences with an American Renaissance conference, a Skanza Forum, Institut für Staatspolitik in Germany, They are all really the same caliber of people who understand what the stakes are, who are committed to saving some sort of future for our people.
It's very, very encouraging.
Now, one aspect of Finland, you know, they only have 2-3% non-whites in the whole country, but they're already fed up.
And the fins are, I think they're just wonderful.
You know, they are descended from one of those genetic bottlenecks in which there was a small number of fins, some sort of natural disaster some couple of thousand years ago reduced their number, so they're all very, very related to each other.
And you can tell that in the way they're patriotic, they have this sense of solidarity, and the idea of non-Fins, certainly non-whites living in their city, they are just not going to sit still for that.
So it seems to me that Finland is on its way to becoming practically another Visigoth country.
They're just like the Poles, the Hungarians, they say enough is enough.
They have a few, but they don't want any more.
And I was very encouraged.
You know, you'd think that that phrase you just used, enough is enough, would begin to seep into the mindset of your typical American suburban dad who grew up in a country that is so far erased.
If you had a chalkboard and you had the country they grew up in, not only has it been erased, but the chalkboard's been replaced with a digital board that the state can dictate what actually is allowed on there.
I can only be referring to this quick, brief story that we have to talk about.
The Boy Scouts of America has decided to change its name to drop the actual Boy Scouts.
It was a couple years ago that the pressure from corporations forced them to accept homosexual scout leaders.
They came very quickly there because they were going to lose corporate funding and now they've allowed young girls, To join the ranks of the Boy Scouts of America.
There is no way to be prepared for the type of social changes that are happening now because they're happening so fast, so quickly, and with so little pushback.
It's as if so many Americans, so many white Americans, have just acquiesced to this cultural transformation and just decided to keep their head above the deluge, to breathe a little bit.
As long as their 401ks keep rising, as long as their investments continue to mature, they think that they're going to be able to Not outlive it, but if they don't protest, they won't have to.
Because by that point, their children will have been marinated in this cultural change.
They won't even understand the America of even the 1980s.
Well, except they don't understand the Girl Scouts.
They are holding firm, are they not?
You're not going to let in boys?
The Girl Scouts are actually a little upset about that.
They did put out a statement where they're like, we're not going to have gender integration.
This really is an insane moment.
I mean, when you look at this slogan, Scout Me In, I mean, again, you drop the Boy Scout,
I mean, what's the point of even going to Weeblos or trying to go for your Eagle Scout
badge?
I mean, this is such a shock moment that it passed with hardly any mention at this point.
You think back to a lot of the battles that have happened over the past three years, the
four years, the culture war battles and just the quick transformation of what's permissible
and corporate America's decision to go all in on the SJW mindset.
And it got me thinking though, something you've written about, something we've talked about before, and that is once you lose on race, once you lose on the central question of equality between different racial groups, that sets the stage for losing on everything.
Yes, I've made that point many times.
And that seems to be where it starts.
That's where the rot begins.
When people start acting as though race is a distinction that doesn't matter.
That opens the floodgates.
Then the next one is race is a distinction that doesn't matter.
Culture is a distinction that doesn't matter.
Erotic orientation is a distinction that doesn't matter.
All the religions are the same.
It starts with race.
Certainly that's been the case in the United States.
Then the juggernaut gets moving and practically nothing survives.
Next it's going to be there's no difference between beauty and ugliness.
Which is?
No difference between good health and sickness.
We're all moving in this.
All of the ancient distinctions by which men have lived and died for millennia are being obliterated.
And I think you're absolutely correct to bring up this question to Scouts.
Yeah, you think of the short story Kurt Vonnegut wrote, was it Harrison Bergenen?
Is that the correct pronunciation?
I mean, we're seeing that happen so quickly, like you just said, with beauty or cultural appropriation.
You know that story about the white girl who wore the Chinese prom dress and the hate, the two minutes hate that she's been subjected to.
It's like, wait a second.
It's incredible.
It's incredible.
And I was just listening on the radio today, no, yesterday, a big argument about how we have to be very careful about how we celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
You better not drink too much because that implies Mexicans are drunkards.
You better not wear a sombrero because that's cultural appropriation.
It's just astonishing.
We can't move a muscle.
We walk on eggshells.
We live on eggshells for fear of offending some minority.
But yes, once we have rolled down this road, then every single distinction, at least the distinction a white man makes, is something that is verboten.
I always recognize Bordeaux, French Bordeaux on Cinco de Mayo because Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of a minor victory over what?
The French.
Maximilian, but they ended up taking over the country anyways and conquering, so it's one of those weird Unbelievably strange celebrations of just this minor victory.
And the Mexicans apparently in Mexico don't pay any attention to it at all.
Even in the city, I believe it's the city of Pueblo, where the battle took place.
The people in Pueblo, they just sort of say, well, ho-hum, we'll move on.
But no, apparently anything we do that has the slightest tinge of something that is not native European, we have no rights to it.
Like you say, this girl who wore a Chinese dress to the prom, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were a few Asians, a few Asians who tweeted that You look great!
You're a beautiful girl!
I'm glad you chose a Chinese dress, but they were washed out in all of this self-righteous indignation about how bad, bad, bad this white girl was.
But anyway, I think, of course, one thing we must touch on is the latest developments in the Starbucks settlement.
The two black men who were arrested for trespassing, Dante Robinson and Roshan Nelson, they just settled yesterday with the city of Philadelphia for symbolic $1 each.
But, in return, the city is going to set up a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs.
This will be a grant that will last for one year, although Mr. Robertson and Mr. Nelson hope that it will go on in perpetuity.
And the idea is to take public high school graduates and help them become entrepreneurs.
I'm not exactly sure how this is going to work.
They'll go sit in a fast food restaurant or a business.
They won't pay for anything.
They'll be asked to leave.
They'll make a scene.
The police will show up.
Someone will record it.
It'll be put up online.
It'll go on social media.
And then it becomes the latest story, just like the one they're trying to do down
in Waffle House in Alabama, where they're trying to say that a woman was denied service
because she was black and she was arrested.
Al Sharpton's down there right now doing a press conference.
This is, these two guys, Dante and Rashawn, have created a blueprint that can be replicated
in city after city across the country.
Oh yes, and of course, Philadelphia and Starbucks have created a blueprint too.
They're saying, come take us, come take our money.
Come humiliate us.
And Robinson and Nelson, they're also going to be involved in the sensitivity training for all those 175,000 Starbucks employees when they close 8,000 stores down on May 29th.
They're working with Attorney General Eric Holder to make sure that all these white people learn the right things about unconscious discrimination and racial stereotyping.
Basically what these two gentlemen have done is they can go out and franchise racial entrepreneurialism to go to a city near you and videotape the exact same carbon copy incident.
They've got the They've got the blueprint, they're the architects of a beautiful new form of racial entrepreneurism.
But this has become so well-known that no one is going to dare throw them out.
And blacks are going to be perfectly welcome to come camp out at any establishment, buy nothing, use the restrooms, use the Wi-Fi, and spend all day there.
What white manager is going to have the gumption to call the police on somebody who decided, well, they didn't want to stay after closing time.
I'd like to spend the night.
Well, no, that's a little bit of an exaggeration.
I don't think it is.
I don't think it is.
I think you're going to see a lot of stores closing and you're going to start having not just food deserts, but starbuck deserts.
You're going to start having fast food deserts.
You're going to start having restaurant deserts.
We'd be remiss if we didn't point out also, Mr. Taylor, that Eric Holder is going to be part of an investigation into supposed censorship on Facebook and conservative websites.
He has been retained by Facebook to do an audit to see if this is actually happening at the same time that he is leading this crusade against whiteness and white privilege or whatever it is that this This day that Starbucks shuts down represents?
Well, that I had not heard.
He's a very flexible and talented man.
Just about anything could be placed into his responsible hands.
Of course, we should point out that Starbucks has made a financial settlement to the two fellows as well for a financial amount that has been undisclosed.
They're also going to make sure that the two graduate from college and the Starbucks
chief executive Kevin Johnson is going to personally mentor the two of them, build a
relationship with them, and make sure they succeed in life.
This is going to be a story to come back to in a year and three years to find out what
these two gentlemen are doing, what happened to them, and I just have the...
They cannot be allowed to fail.
by what's going on in Philadelphia.
It might be one of those funny type endings.
Don't worry, they cannot be allowed to fail.
They cannot be allowed to fail.
You'd think so.
Starbucks will ensure that whatever they touch turns to gold.
And of course, the city has invited these two, Dante Robinson and Roshan Nelson, to submit thoughts
and recommendations to the city lawyers on ways to promote equality in public places.
These people are now sages.
They are philosopher kings.
They're telling the city of Philadelphia how to run the town.
Boy, they must be thinking this was their lucky day.
They're equality consultants.
All they have to do is start a non-profit and they will be funded to the tune of seven to eight figures a year.
It's that simple.
I dare say.
I like your point there.
Racial entrepreneurship.
And they've got a $200,000 program that will help other public school graduates.
Now guess how many white people will be among them?
Probably zero.
And they will learn all sorts of entrepreneurialism as well.
Of course, the other news story that we should probably touch on is this caravan.
The caravan of the Central Americans.
Fortunately, it's not all 1,500 people who have showed up at the border.
They started at about that size, but some fell off, broke off along the way.
But now, I understand that 63 of them have actually crossed the border and are being processed That was just Wednesday and so the total now is 88 of them are being processed.
A group predominantly made up of mothers and their children.
They're now in a detention center and the officers are questioning them.
They assess them as to whether or not they have a credible fear of the kind of persecution that can lead to a grant of asylum.
Now, I am very pleased to see that it's not just the President of the United States, but a few other people are talking about how utterly, utterly crazy this all is.
First of all, as you know, these people from Central America, if they're seeking political asylum, the rules are you ask for political asylum in the first new country, the first country outside your own that you arrive at.
Which would be Mexico.
Which would be Mexico.
Well, the Mexicans said, no, no, no.
We recommend you try the Americans.
They're a much softer touch than we are.
But in any case, Vice President Mike Pence, he called the caravan a deliberate attempt to undermine the laws of this country and the sovereignty of the United States.
Great quote.
Yes, pretty good.
Despite the fact that, really, anybody can claim asylum.
That is one of the terrible, terrible consequences of these post-World War II agreements that we entered into.
They were really started at the end of this terrible conflict in Europe when people really were displaced.
Millions of people milling around and we thought it was necessary for them to have an opportunity to find some sort of haven.
But this is extended and extended and extended so that just about anybody who wants to leave home can now claim that he's looking for asylum.
Fortunately, fortunately, the number of Central Americans who have been granted asylum is very small.
But the trouble is, they get rejected for asylum, and then the system loses track of them.
And they become yet another addition to this enormous pile of illegal immigrants who are, of course, hoping for, and may yet get, amnesty someday.
Now, Darrell Issa, He's the congressman who represents San Diego County, which is just across the board from where the rest of the caravan is camped out.
Apparently they're in some sort of sordid tent city while they're waiting to be processed.
And he's really taken a very hard line on this too.
And he has pointed out, he has been very, very approving of the fact that Jeff Sessions announced that 11 of the people associated with the caravan have been charged with illegal entry into the United States.
Apparently they just slipped in and apparently they probably didn't bother to apply for asylum, which is a little stupid on their part, but they've been charged with illegal entry.
Very good.
And Daryl Issa is also talking about the sanctuary status of the state.
And here's another great quote too.
He says, the politics of this state have become the politics of illegal immigration.
Politics of white displacement is what the elite in charge of California.
Daryl Issa is a great man.
I know that in California where the Republican Party is on the way toward extinction.
But you do have hardliners standing up and San Diego County still has a large elected Republican base who are putting pressure to try and implement the Trump agenda and you know a lot of people out there are so are so down on what's happening and you read on the
internet, it's like guys, had Hillary been elected, A, you wouldn't even have a voice
on the internet anymore, you would have been shut down within the first six months,
and B, we probably would be seeing bombs dropped on Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Austria in
the name of global equality.
I don't know if she'd go that far, but anyway.
They'd be getting close, but my point is this top-down Trump, the top-down Trump trickle-down
effect is starting the Republican Party.
And I think this is something you're going to see mega mega in the midterms that are coming up.
The language of Trump is going to insert itself into Republican candidates nationwide.
You're going to see town halls where constituents are asking, when are we going to build the wall?
That's going to be one of the big things this fall.
And I encourage everybody listening to this podcast to start attending your Republican meetings, to go out there and start asking one question and one question only.
When is the wall going to be built?
Will you, if elected, advocate for the wall to be built?
And this doesn't matter if they're running for national election or for state or local elections.
Get them to go on the record in support of President Trump because we want the bad taste of the Koch brothers funded GOP that was represented by Paul Ryan, to also go the way of the dodo bird, to become extinct.
And this is one of the really long-term benefits of President Trump being in office.
Well, one of the unfortunate facts is that the wall would not have stopped this caravan.
They are sitting outside a border control barrier.
They're not attempting to go over it.
They're just showing up as if they were ordinary tourists, and they're saying, give me asylum.
So a wall would not stop that.
We need new legislation.
And Darrell Issa is in fact saying exactly that.
That we need a new system that makes it illegal for this kind of thing to happen.
That's in fact what Mike Pence is saying too.
A deliberate attempt to undermine the laws of the country.
But they're undermining the laws of the country by appealing to a treaty that we have signed.
We just need to withdraw from this crazy treaty that is being abused right and left.
If we really wanted to let people in whom we thought were deserving, we could have our own criteria.
We don't have to be bound by a treaty.
None of this makes any sense at all.
If we want to let in some suffering Tierra del Fuego or a Somali, we don't have to be bound by a treaty.
It should be entirely up to us.
But anyway, yes, this is a developing thing and I'm very pleased that there are many voices raised against this obvious violation of our sovereignty.
Another article that you called to my attention was a very interesting compilation on homicide and suicide by firearm in the various states.
Well, if we start with the homicide death rate, on average, the death by homicide of black men, and this was a breakout just for men, black and white, no Hispanics, no women, no Asians.
And we find that, on average, blacks die of gunfire homicide.
And again, I guess I should have added that.
Another restriction is it's just gunfire.
So it's not homicide of all kinds, but this is the lion's share.
For blacks, across the country, for the years 2008 to 2016, so this is a very large data set, Blacks died of gunshot homicide at a rate of 29.12 per 100,000.
Whites at a rate of 2.1.
per hundred thousand. Whites at a rate of 2.1. So blacks are dying from gunshot
homicide at a multiple of 14 the white rate. And this story we should point out
came from CNN.
It was one that was published, I think, on April 23rd.
Slipped under the radar.
Didn't get any publicity.
No one really wanted to talk about it because you're looking at it like, wow, wait a second.
Perhaps, you know, this whole gun control debate needs to be reshaping around Actual data, but that's not going to happen.
Well, and interestingly enough, what they discovered is that gun ownership rates have a positive correlation with white death, both homicide and suicide, but not for blacks.
In other words, blacks are going to get a hold of guns, even though there aren't many guns around in their neighborhood, and they're going to use them.
So, whether or not the guns are widely available, narrowly available, they're going to get a hold of them if they want to kill somebody, and they're going to do it.
Both homicide and suicide.
Now, To me, part of the very interesting information here is the differences by state.
It's quite remarkable.
And some of the states, the states in which the black homicide rate by gunfire is the highest, the number one is Missouri, with 60 per 100,000.
That's twice the national average, 60 per 100,000.
Then Michigan, at 49.
Illinois at 48, Indiana at 46.
And in all of these cases, we're talking about a multiple of the white homicide rate of anywhere from 20 to 40-fold.
These are remarkable, remarkable differences.
And then, when you're looking at the black firearm homicide rate, it goes from a high, as I said, of 59.42, nearly 60 in Missouri, to a low of 9.51 in Rhode Island.
It's one-sixth, a remarkable difference.
And what's law-abiding and peaceable about the blacks in Rhode Island?
Well, they're largely in Providence.
There's not that many.
I mean, you look at a state like Alaska is 12.3 per 100,000.
But some of the numbers that really stick out to me, and this will be available hopefully as an image within the podcast so people can see.
These numbers are we'll find a way that when you actually go to the website that you'll be able to see these charts Henry Wolfe is Talented at that but the one that sticks out to me besides the Missouri besides, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana and Pennsylvania Nebraska is shocking.
For whites, it's 1.39 per 100,000 versus blacks, 40.68 per 100,000.
But look in New Jersey.
The white rate is 0.65 versus the black rate of 31.69 per 100,000.
But look in New Jersey.
The white rate is 0.65 versus the black rate of 31.69 per 100,000.
For a state like Ohio, Ohio, 1.83 for whites per 100,000, the homicide death rate by firearm, versus for blacks,
37.15 per 100,000.
These multiples are just extraordinary.
In sociological data you almost never get multiples in the area of 20, 30, 40 fold.
It's very hard to find something that a large group of people does 40 times more often than another large group of people.
And these are all clustered.
Think of a state like Ohio.
Those are clustered in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, Columbus.
You think about those places.
Those are why those cities are so dangerous, why businesses flee, why the property values are so low.
Now, it's important to realize this is deaths Now, for the most part, we can safely assume that these blacks who are being shot are being shot by other blacks.
Overwhelmingly, that's the case.
And for the most part, that's the case for whites as well.
Murder is an intra-racial affair for the most part.
There is about a 12-fold greater likelihood of a black killing a white than the other way around.
And so if we're talking about what would really be more interesting data is perpetrator rates.
Perpetrator rates, not victim rates.
Those are a little harder to come by.
And in that case you would get even greater differentials because often the perpetrators of a white death by gunfire is a black.
So perpetrator rates would get differentials that are even more extraordinary.
But again, some of the differences in the white death rate by firearms are quite extraordinary too.
Mississippi is the highest.
That's close to 5 per 100,000.
And then Alabama, Arkansas, all in the south.
And then finally you get a western state, Oklahoma.
New Mexico, Louisiana, death by firearm homicide for white men is highest in the South and in the West.
And as this determination showed, relative gun ownership is correlated with death rates for whites, but not for blacks.
Of course, we don't know.
These are homicide rates by gunfire and we don't know what else it would include.
Stabbings or being beaten to death.
In any case, this is a fascinating set of data and I applaud CNN for putting it together.
Shall we move to the suicide rates?
Of course, no.
This is the other half of the coin.
Yes.
And as we noticed, blacks, when they die by firearm homicide, they do so at 14 times the white rate.
Now, when whites die of suicide by firearm, they do so at 2.6 times the black rate.
And we have discussed this phenomenon before on another podcast in which we pointed out that about 85% of the time white men use firearms lethally.
85% it's against themselves.
And only 15% against somebody else.
It's homicide.
And the figures are almost perfectly reversed for blacks.
Only 15% of the time does a black man turn a gun on himself.
85% of the time when he's successfully killing someone he Turns his gun on somebody else.
And you're citing the data there from the Brookings Institute study that came out I believe in 2015.
It is one of those just eye-opening exposés of gun crime by race in America versus the white death that we know no one really wants to talk about because the implications of why that's happening are Well, why America Resilience exists in the first place.
Yes, yes.
But interestingly enough, despite the fact that all around the country, white men are more likely to commit suicide than black men.
And of course, this doesn't go into the other ways that people commit suicide either.
But when it comes to firearms, Only in one jurisdiction do blacks kill themselves by firearms more frequently than whites.
And I would not have necessarily guessed which one it was, but it turns out it's Washington DC.
And in Washington DC, blacks are 4.18 per 100,000 as opposed to 2.35 for whites to kill themselves with a firearm.
Getting close to twice the rate, but everywhere else it's the other way around.
It's interesting.
Whites are more likely.
The District of Columbia did not provide the data for fire or homicide deaths by, you know, death rates.
They only provide it for suicide.
So I'd love to see the data on Firearm homicide death rates by race.
That's true.
There are a few states that are missing in this compilation, which is too bad.
But it is remarkable that the black population is completely out of sync in that respect.
Why is it that blacks in Washington D.C.
are more likely to commit suicide by firearm than whites?
Now, the whites in Washington D.C.
are a little atypical.
After all, 90% of them voted for Hillary Clinton.
So, maybe, I don't know, maybe that protects you from, they don't own firearms.
Well, once again, it's the southern states where whites have the highest suicide rate per 100,000 versus states where the widespread availability of firearms is, you know, it's very difficult to legally obtain a firearm in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Illinois.
The only one where firearm... it's a very gun-friendly state.
Ohio has a rate of 12.47 white deaths by suicide per 100,000.
Versus, shockingly, a very high rate for blacks at 6.91%.
at 6.91% of 6.6 point nine one per 100,000 for blacks.
Yeah.
Which is one of the higher rates.
Right.
Where white people kill themselves most frequently with a firearm is New Mexico, number one, followed by Nevada, then Alaska, and then Oklahoma.
It's these western states where there are lots of firearms.
Again, this is just a partial picture of what we see.
It'd be interesting to see suicide rates across the board, no matter what was used.
But my guess is, again, when white people commit suicide, white men commit suicide, they're probably likely to use a weapon.
Women, of course, ordinarily use drugs when they commit suicide, and their rates of suicide are not as high as men.
But, all told, this is really a fascinating compilation, and again, I congratulate CNN on putting it together.
But it just goes to show there's so many different ways to look at the data.
Here we're looking at victims rather than perpetrators.
We're looking strictly at firearm use rather than anything else.
But it paints a very, very interesting picture and I must say that the differences by state really are eye-opening.
Well, again, it's where you have large clusters of blacks.
Missouri, with a rate of 59, almost 60 black firearm homicide death rate per 100,000.
You've got Kansas City and St.
Louis.
St.
Louis is on par with Baltimore as two of the most dangerous cities in the world.
In Michigan, you've got, of course, Detroit.
In Illinois, you have Chicago.
In Indiana, you've got Indianapolis, and Pennsylvania, and Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.
But still, Maryland, where we find this dangerous city of Baltimore, blacks are killed by gunfire at about half the rate in Missouri or Michigan.
Certainly in Missouri.
There are just interesting patterns here that it would be very interesting to tease out in a useful way.
Yes, all of these accumulating data certainly show different patterns by race.
And that's the most important thing here.
That is what, even if we don't understand the details as to why people in Alaska are more likely to commit suicide, or people in Missouri are more likely to kill each other, the fact that these patterns, racial patterns, are so consistent.
That is the real takeaway from this CNN piece, which, of course, they will probably never point out themselves.
No, they're too busy talking about Stormy Daniels to invest too much time actually looking at real important data that affects the lives of Americans in every state, every city, and across the country.
Oh, poor you.
I guess you must watch television.
I didn't realize they were still talking about Stormy Daniels.
Is she still in the news?
It's the big story on Drudge.
Yeah, no, it's everywhere.
It's going to be ubiquitous until it's not, and then they'll find something else to...
Some other stick with which to beat our president.
Then, and this was another story that you called my attention, this was the review of a very interesting book, something called The Rise of Big Data Policing, Surveillance, Race, and the Future of Law Enforcement.
And just tell us a little bit about what this big data is.
How does that work?
Well, we're seeing the onset of predictive policing.
One of the stories I've been following, and forgive the pronunciation, but it's one of Peter Thiel's companies.
I believe it's Palantir?
Palantir, I believe.
They're a company that's been hired to do a lot of sophisticated data.
They're implementing a program down in New Orleans.
The city of New Orleans is spending a lot of money to try and keep tourism.
So they're trying to figure out ways to use computer algorithms to figure out where crime is going to take place.
As is going to happen when you have pattern recognition, even through algorithms, organizations like the ACLU and the NAACP have already stepped in to start to say, well, we're worried about Racial profiling, even if it's in 010110001011101 in computer language, and not just in the language of so-called white supremacists or white nationalists.
Well, the thing is they're using this data not just to pinpoint where the crime is likely to occur, but The origin of using big data in this way was to come up with objective ways to predict who is more likely to offend and who is more likely to be a recidivist, who should get parole, all sorts of how long sentences should be, should someone be investigated or detained,
All of these items are things that you put all the data in and you say, okay, a guy that meets this profile, and of course they studiously exclude race.
Race is never part of these databases.
Correct.
But when they say, if this guy meets this profile, he's got this kind of education, he's got this many friends who are in the pokey, his dad is in the pokey, he's got this many priors, then you're probably better off giving him a sentence of X years.
Yeah, you're popping in the data and the predictive models based on a calculation of the defendant's demographic and behavioral factors, including prior convictions, income level, employment status, family background, neighborhood, educational level, behavior of family and friends.
And this was done largely to address the social justice infringements for which it's criticized, which is so fascinating.
Exactly.
That's just it.
They said, okay, everything that goes into sentencing, everything that goes into decisions to do this, do that, and the other is influenced by unconscious racial bias.
So, let's take race out of the picture, just go by big data, and we'll all be back to square one and everything will be fair and objective.
Well, as it turns out, Race works itself back into the situation because race is a reality.
Even if they leave race out, so long as they've got education level, priors, how many of your friends are in jail or have been convicted, then race plays an enormous part.
It's really quite fascinating.
Yeah, as the gentleman wrote the book, a law professor Andrew Ferguson said, The question arises about how to disentangle legacy police practices that have resulted in disproportionate numbers of African American men being arrested or involved in the criminal justice system.
If input data is infected with racial bias, how can the resulting algorithmic output be trusted?
End quote.
You see, that is of course always their fallback position.
If we do take prior convictions into consideration on sentencing decisions, then that's unfair to blacks because they have been sentenced due to bias.
So the data, even if the data are objective, the data reflect past bias and we can never get away from this.
It is just Bewildering the resistance that people have to accepting the idea that there are simply racial differences in behavior patterns.
That's all there is to it.
And there is a certain feedback mechanism.
After all, if there is a particularly crime-prone neighborhood and the police are there all the time, Then, crimes that take place there are more likely to be picked up and noticed rather than crimes that take place out in the suburbs where there are no police.
There is a kind of a feedback effect, but that's inevitable.
It's just inevitable.
And also, in these high crime areas, there are going to be many crimes that are not going to be picked up either because there are just so many of them.
But I have seen this kind of complaint about big data having to do with mortgage lending, having to do with every time someone takes big data and tries to say, okay, we're going to make an objective judgment, the objective judgments always reflect Reality.
And reality always reflects race.
Which we have to assiduously ignore in every aspect of our lives.
That's right.
That's right.
It must be done on all counts, in every aspect.
Now, the most frequently used big database is something called Compass.
C-O-M-P-A-S.
And that is one of these absurd acronyms.
It stands for Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions.
But the point is, they are trying to make sure that all of this is weighed objectively
so that if a judge can look the guy up and say his likelihood to re-offend is nine out of 10,
then you know what kind of sentence to give.
Now, one of the big demands here is that all of these algorithms be made completely public.
But some of these people have proprietary algorithms.
They don't want to make them public.
But they do say that they omit race.
But the founder of this COMPASS program, he has pointed out that if factors correlate with race, such as poverty and joblessness, and if you omit them from risk assessment, then your accuracy goes down.
Of course!
You have to have poverty, level of education, prior offenses, all of that.
But all of those are correlated with race.
You have incomplete data otherwise.
That's right.
If you're going to make race completely disappear, you're going to have an utterly meaningless database.
Well, this leads perfectly into what we're about to talk about next.
Yes, yes.
This was a fascinating story.
A fellow named Joseph James DeAngelo.
Here's a guy.
He's now 72 years old.
But he committed, apparently, a whole string of rapes and murders of the most brutal kind.
He's a white man, by the way.
And the last one was in 1986.
So this has been a very, very cold case.
But this is a guy.
He used to rape a woman in front of her husband.
I suppose he must have tied her and tied him up first, then kill them both.
Really, really charming character.
But the way they tracked this guy down, this super, super cold case, what they did, they took some crime scene DNA and they uploaded it to one of the smaller genetic ancestry tracking programs called GEDmatch.
It's considerably smaller than 23andMe and AncestryDNA.
But what they did, they loaded this criminal DNA up into there and they found some of his relatives.
that he was not registered, wouldn't that have been something else if he'd actually gone and
gotten himself tested. They found relatives and by means of figuring out who his relatives were,
they tracked him down. The case warmed up. It sure did.
Unreal.
Yes.
Now, I just don't know what to make of this.
I am delighted that this brute has finally been punished.
Apparently, he was an ex-policeman.
Correct.
And he was living a perfectly ordinary life behind a well-manicured lawn, unlike mine.
In a lovely little tract home in California.
And his neighbors said that he did seem to have a bit of a temper, but he'd never done anything that really caught their attention.
But now he's gone.
And this really does make you wonder about where does privacy begin and end?
I would never have guessed that people would be doing something like this.
Of course, when you reflect on it, if you do send into one of these testing services, they've got your DNA.
Bingo.
And if I would imagine that if there were some reason to think that you were the hillside rapist or something and they had some DNA, I bet that the police could go to 23andMe, whoever it is, and say, let's check out this guy's DNA.
Big data is the most valuable commodity in the 21st century, as we've seen with Facebook and its continuing growth.
A lot of the pushback came to that, but people are still publishing all of their data on Facebook.
If a product online is free, that probably means you're a customer at the end of the day, like Twitter, Facebook.
Well, fortunately, American Renaissance is not a client of Twitter anymore.
They were unceremoniously dropped at the time being.
When you give to 23andMe or this Answer to Your DNA, yeah, it's cool to find out your racial background, blah, blah, blah.
But at the end of the day, that's big data that at some point I've never read the fine print of any of these companies, but if they really want to make a lot of money, couldn't you just say, we're going to sell this data to the government?
Or to the government.
Well, as a matter of fact, GEDmatch, this very company, apparently the police chose it with some care because it is a company that is explicit about saying that we may use your information for non-ancestry related matters.
Now, people probably had no idea what that meant, even if they bothered to read the agreement.
Who reads these 90-page agreements?
But quite a fascinating thing.
Well, that gets the end of our allotted topics here.
Is there anything else that you particularly wanted to opine on?
Yeah, I want to throw some out there to our listeners.
We really appreciate everyone listening to the podcast.
Definitely tell your friends to go to a dark corner somewhere and listen with their You know, with the shades drawn if you want to.
No, no, a sunlit corner.
A sunlit corner.
Joking.
And an armchair by the beach.
But what we'd love to hear, we'd love to hear from you.
Is there some topics you'd like us to talk about?
So, we invite you, the listeners of Renaissance Radio, or Radio Renaissance, to send in your questions.
You can either fire them to Jared, you can fire them to Jared's email, which... Well, best to go to the...
Contact Us page at www.amaran.com.
We have a Contact Us page.
Now, do you want to give your address?
Yeah, yeah, or shoot an email over to sbpdl1, the numeral 1, so that's sbpdl1 at gmail.com and just tell us what you'd like us to talk about, to address something.
Send in as many questions as you want and we'll start having a little feature where we We answer some of the questions, some feedback, and we'd love to hear from you.
So go to the Contact Us page at www.amarin.com or shoot me an email at sbpdl1 at gmail.com.
Again, I can't thank everyone enough for showing up at the conference.
More importantly, thank you for leaving those reviews of If We Do Nothing and one of the reasons why Jared and myself and Henry and Greg Hood and all the wonderful people who are out there doing positive things for a cause that I
still don't think it has a name yet.
You can call it the dissident right, you can call it white advocates.
I think that the name is still going to manifest somewhere at some point
because we really are, and not just something that is about a renaissance for Americans, Mr. Taylor,
but it is a global reawakening of whiteness.
Well, we're just normal people.
And that's why there was never a name for it.
It's because there's no name for people who love their children more than they love the children of strangers.
It's just a natural, normal way to be.
And people who have a sense of solidarity with their tribe, with their race, with their people, there's no special name for them either.
It's only because we've been pathologized and caused all these crazy names.
We're xenophobes and we're hyper-nationalist and we're racist.
Because of all these invented invectives, we have to come up with some name to describe what is utterly normal.
There's no name for people who breathe.
There's no name for people who put their trousers on one leg at a time.
Because it's just the way it is.
And that's the way it was throughout American history.
There was no particular name for someone like Abraham Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt.
But you're right.
We are still struggling for a name.
And as you know, the names that I use are Race Realist and White Advocate.
People talk about Patriot.
People talk about Nationalist.
But in an ideal world, in the proper world, no word would be necessary because this is the way people are.
Well, for Jared Taylor, I'm Paul Kersey.
Our time is up.
