Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance and with me, of course, is the Inimitable and irreplaceable, P.K.
Unfortunately, I have to begin our podcast with a correction.
I made a mistake when I was discussing the exploits of Butch O'Hare, the War in the Pacific fighter pilot for whom the O'Hare Airport is named.
I was explaining how he had earned such renown, and P.K.
then asked me, well, what did he do after the war?
And I said that I couldn't recall that he did anything of great note after the war.
Well, it turns out there was a good reason for that.
Butch O'Hare, alas, did not survive the war.
On the night of November 26, 1943, he led the first ever Navy nighttime fighter attack from an aircraft carrier.
In this case, it was the Enterprise.
He was typically doing a very, very brave thing, leading fighters out into the night.
It is possible that he was caught in friendly fire, especially because it was hard to distinguish friend from foe.
Or, he is probably more likely to have been hit by a gunner in the dorsal turret of a Japanese G4M Betty bomber.
But alas, Butch O'Hare, one of the finest fighter pilots in the entire carrier-borne fleet, was lost that night.
So that was from the era when we really made great Americans of a kind we find so few today.
Well, speaking of finding so few today, we do need to, before we get started formally with the podcast first, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are listening.
We thank each and every one of you for joining us.
But we gotta point out something.
YouTube has stated that on December 10th, they're changing their terms of service.
In fact, when you log in, you actually get, regardless of who you are, if you have a Google account, you get the notice, hey, we're changing terms, take a look at them.
Well, there have been some pretty high-profile deplatforming recently, so we need to stress, we want to be able to get in touch with you when the, if the plug is pulled on this channel, so we can ensure that you can still hear Yes, there is a very genuine possibility that we may lose our channel.
So if you listen to us on YouTube and get notifications every time we put something up, those notifications will stop.
But we would love to reach you by email.
And there are two ways to send us your address.
One is to come to amren.com and click on the contact us page and that there's a tab for that and please give us your email address.
The other is to send your address to... Because we live here at protonmail.com.
Once again that email address, all one word, Because we live here at Protonmail.com, we're only going to add you to the list so we can notify you of what's happening with regards to the latest release of the podcast.
Furthermore, we can assure you we are very, very careful in our use of email addresses.
We have never, ever had a security leak at American Renaissance in nearly 30 years of operation.
I should probably knock on wood as I say this, but your data, even your email address, is safe in our hands.
Now, we'd like to begin this episode with a discussion of the latest London knife attack.
When I saw the news about that, I saw, okay, a berserker Muslim has knifed two people and injured a few more.
Yawn.
What else is new?
And I moved on to the next story.
However, PK assures me that there is more to this story.
So please do tell us the other things that I and our listeners should be aware of with respect to this latest ho-hum terror attack.
Well, the 28-year-old Uzman Khan had been arrested back in 2012 and he was sentenced to eight years in jail for plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange and build an Islamic terror training camp in the UK.
Huh, in the ruins of the stock exchange?
Well, not in the ruins of the stock exchange.
That's getting too dystopian there.
No, he was actually released in 2018 and he had an ankle monitoring tag on him and he was actually attending Cambridge University course for helping offenders reintegrate into society.
Huh!
It wasn't working, was it?
Not only was it working, but it turns out that two of the victims that actually passed away were instructors.
They were part of the Learning Together community.
And one of them, Jack Merritt, get this, his master's thesis.
And I quote, a critical analysis of over-representation of black, Asian, and minority ethnic males aged 18 to 21 in the British prison system.
That was the title of his thesis.
That was the title of Jack Merritt's thesis.
Well gosh, you should have known better then!
I guess not.
He's a 25 year old who passed away and his dad, of course, came out.
Before I roll with that, what were you going to say?
Well, no, it sounds as though this course that was supposed to instruct him into how to integrate into society completely backfired.
It sounds like they should fire all instructors involved.
The people that they're teaching how to integrate run around slaughtering their teachers.
But anyway, perhaps I'm being unkind.
You know who's being really unkind to the memory of his son is David Merritt, his father.
He has been just on Twitter excoriating anyone who's daring to try and say that this is, you know, a new blitz on free jihadis.
That was a cover story at the Daily Express, Boris.
The Prime Minister did a blitz on free jihadis because he was upset that this is going on.
Why are we doing this program?
This is insane.
Freeing these jihadis who should still be in jail.
Now two white Britons are murdered but again it turns out that they were part of this learning together community and this guy again he had written a thesis basically saying a critical analysis of the over-representation of black, Asian and minority ethnic males in the British I'm sure his position was that it's all societal racism.
Precisely.
That's exactly it.
Well, here's what David Merritt did.
He decided to publish a piece, and I believe this was The Guardian, and he wrote this about his son.
Quote.
Take a deep breath here.
Jack was also angry, frustrated, selfless, stubborn.
He was angry because he saw our society failing those most in need.
He was frustrated because the political elite have forgotten why it is important to be fair.
He was selfless in his dedication to make things right in every second of his life.
Jack devoted his energy to the purpose of Learning Together, a pioneering program to bring students from university and prisons together to share their unique perspectives on justice.
Unlike many of us, Jack did not just go to work.
He lived and breathed fire in his pursuit of a better world for all humanity, particularly those most in need.
If Jack could comment on his death, In the tragic incident on Friday, 29 November, he would be
livid.
We would see him ticking it over in his mind before a word was uttered between us.
Jack would understand the political timing with visceral clarity.
He would be seething at his death and his life being used to perpetuate an agenda of
hate that he gave his everything fighting against.
We should never forget that.
What Jack would want from this is for all of us to walk through the door he has booted
down in his black Doc Martens.
end quote.
Gosh.
Uh.
Well, well.
Unpackage that, Mr. Taylor.
Well, he would be furious at anyone who suggested that it was a mistake to let these people into Britain.
That's what that boils down to.
So I guess, if he had his way, we'd get more and more, and more and more knife attacks.
This is all incomprehensible to me.
But Britain is no different from the United States in this respect.
After all, we see a kind of delusion that has descended on universities in the United States, just as it has descended on Britain.
Michigan State University, for example, the valedictorian of Detroit's Cody High School is now there.
And she is struggling and failing with a low-level math course, despite the fact, as I say, of having been the valedictorian.
Her name is Markel, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, Markel McClendon, and she's in her first semester.
She's used to getting A's, and she aspires to major in Biomedical Laboratory Science, which will require her to pass Calculus, Organic Chemistry, and Advanced Clinical Chemistry.
Now, the average SAT score at her high school was 800 out of 1600.
Pretty good score.
That strikes me as exceedingly low.
And there's no word as to what her particular scores were, but she is attending Michigan State University because the university has been pushing very, very hard to admit more racial minorities In the name of diversity.
And black enrollment was up 24% over the previous year, including Markel.
Now, MSU has discovered that some of these diversity recruits are not doing too well in mathematics, and so they have removed the requirement.
That all students take at least algebra, either in college or have taken it in high school.
Now, algebra is often taught in eighth grade in many high schools, but they no longer require this.
Wayne State University in Detroit has completely dropped its general education math requirement altogether.
Now, why is MSU dropping its requirements and Wayne State University as well?
We have an answer from Bob Murphy, who is the Director of University Relations and Policy for the Michigan Association of State Universities.
He says, not requiring math will ideally, quote, lead to more successful graduation outcomes.
Now, the best way to get more successful graduation out of Clemson is to have no requirements at all, don't you think?
Why get rid of only math?
Why not, I think, you know, one of the finest possible expressions of reparations for slavery would be just to staple a university diploma to every birth certificate of a black child.
But in any case, we're heading in that direction.
Top leaders of the University of California system said just last month that they support dropping the SAT and ACT exams because they, as Berkeley Chancellor Carol T. Christ says, they contribute to the inequities of our system.
This test, because it has an impact on black students, because it has the consequences that we know so well, we need to get rid of it.
And, as a lawyer for the group called Public Counsel has said, these tests are incredibly sensitive to socioeconomic status and race and have nothing to say about the individual.
What a remark!
The test, it's an inanimate object, but it's sensitive to race.
As soon as a black person or a white person, Asian person, sits down in front of that test, it's got some sort of psychological mechanism to detect it's sensitive to race.
And it can tell if you're rich or poor.
I didn't think race existed.
I thought it was a social construct.
That doesn't make any sense.
So somehow this paper, this test, it can...
Smell pheromones?
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
Facial recognition software?
Who knows?
What's going on?
But it's sensitive to race and says nothing about the individual.
All it can tell about you, it sniffs around and says, mm-hmm, this is a black man, or mm-hmm, this is a white woman.
And that's how it scores the test.
Incredible.
Incredible.
But that's the way we're heading.
As they say, if the Detroit universities drop the math requirement, that will improve graduation rates.
They're absolutely right.
They should drop all requirements.
But I believe you had another heartwarming story about the way the United States is moving these days having to do with baby names.
Having to do with baby names, yeah.
I was just reading up on one of the things we're going to talk about shortly, but it turns out that People love these lists, these top ten baby names.
I know, you know, top ten girls' names, top ten boys' names.
Well, this is something that's pretty frequent over in Europe, Western Europe especially, in England, in France, increasingly in Germany, but in the United States, this is the first time.
Now, what am I talking about?
It turns out that two Arabic names are now in the top ten for the first time ever, and they replace two boring Generic white sounding names of Mason and Layla, get this, Muhammad and Alaya are now respectively in the
Male and female, which I'm surprised this list even decided to break things up by gender.
I didn't think we would do that anymore.
I thought we were gender neutral, the press was.
But it was almost a celebratory story that now Muhammad has snuck up into the top 10.
Get this.
And what number is it?
Number 10.
Oh, it just sneaked in.
It just made it.
But get this.
Last year, in 2017, Muhammad ranked number 14 on Babysitter's List.
29% jump.
Popularity to make the top 10.
But get this, it first entered the top 100 in 2013.
For heaven's sake.
Exponential growth.
Wow, it's leaping to the top.
Yeah.
When will it be number one?
Let's lay odds on this.
Social Security, well I would say by 2026 it will be in the top five if not before then.
But the social security data shows Muhammad went from number 620 in 2000 to number 345 in 2018.
So but there are obviously the agency also combined variant spellings Muhammad, Muhammad,
Muhammad to account.
So the overall ranking would be even higher if they had done that.
They didn't, they didn't break it out.
They broke it out as opposed to put them all together.
But you know, it's fascinating to think and, you know, talking about the top 10 boys names, again, a lot of the actors, I guess a lot of parents right now, they take a cue from the top actors.
Liam is the number one boy's name.
Jackson, Noah, Aidan, Grayson, Caden, Lucas, Elijah, Oliver, and Muhammad.
One of those names doesn't really fit.
Well, you know, if I had ten sons to name, I would just go right down the list.
Oh, you would name one of them Muhammad?
After the Prophet?
Why not?
Why not?
Okay.
So, well, yeah, this is quite interesting.
It is impressive the way... Now, you don't have the stats on Aaliyah.
Aaliyah is also number 10.
I don't have the stats on how far she has jumped up.
It's interesting because the other names, the top 10 girls names, real quick, for those listening at home who are curious.
Number one, Sofia, Olivia, Emma, Ava, Aria, Isabella.
That's a great name.
There was a great queen of Spain named Isabella, wasn't there?
Yes, there was.
Amelia Maya Riley.
Well, you know, one of the reasons why these Arabic-sounding names are rising so rapidly is that Americans are becoming much more creative, if you will, certainly with girls' names and boys' names, too.
It used to be that there was John and Robert and Andrew and all these sort of common names, but everybody wants to be something unusual.
So my guess is that the number one name, or the number two, three, four, five names, for both sexes, actually have a smaller percentage than they used to in the old days.
And that makes it easier for other exotic names, I guess we shouldn't call that anymore, like Aaliyah and Muhammad, to sneak up into the top.
But... Actually, it's the exact opposite in this increasingly diverse country where you're going to see fewer and further Fewer and fewer Peters, Pauls, Marys.
That's right.
And more Muhammads.
I'm surprised Jesus, Ali, and who else would be?
Jose are not up there.
Margarita, who knows?
But we can count on them for sure.
So moving right along, moving to a high school teacher in Fort Worth, Texas.
This was a lady who in June tweeted at President Donald Trump, imploring him to take illegal immigrants from her school.
She claims they were overwhelming the services because they didn't speak the language, they required all sorts of remedial help, and she thought these were private Twitter messages to the president, But these turned out to be public messages and the fact that she wanted illegal immigrants taken away resulted in her immediate suspension and then just a few days later the Fort Worth Independent School District unanimously voted to terminate this woman.
Her name is Clark and they said they were terminating her for good cause.
High school English teacher who had otherwise absolutely faultless record.
It turns out, just this week, the Texas Education Agency overruled the Fort Worth Independent School District.
And it said that Clark, quote, has been evaluated as an excellent teacher consistently throughout her employment, and that her tweets were freedom of speech.
Now, this sounds like a happy ending.
It's not.
Because the Fort Worth school district has said it will appeal the state's decision, saying in a statement that they believed that the way they handled it in June was appropriate.
Fire this woman because she doesn't, she's saying illegal immigrant children are A burden on the school.
Well, it's my great hope that she has litigation planned.
This is insane that she's had to deal with this at all.
In the great state of Texas, as we hear all the time, don't mess with Texas, people say.
Come on, guys.
And as the superintendent of the Fort Worth School District said, we stand by our decision because we firmly believe this is in the best interests of all students.
So we'll see.
Do you know what percentage of students in public schools in Texas are white?
I don't know, but I can guess.
27%.
So for all of you people who think Texas is this great red bastion of hope, you know, I've seen a lot of people, Mr. Taylor, they're poking fun at Virginia because immigration was able to tip the statehouse blue and they're planning some crazy gun legislation.
People are like, hey, come try this in Texas.
Try this in Texas.
You'll see what happens.
Hey guys?
Just wait.
It's coming your way.
Virginia's demographics aren't bad, it's just the white vote doesn't vote enough for Republicans.
Because Republicans are pretty terrible.
Let's be honest, they're pretty terrible.
In Texas, hey, the demographic position is far worse than Virginia.
You say that the Republicans are pretty terrible.
I think the problem is white people are pretty terrible.
That's why they're voting the wrong way.
But be that as it may.
Talking about white people voting the wrong way, let's move on to Michael Bloomberg.
He has officially announced that he is campaigning for the Democratic nomination for the President of the United States, former New York City Mayor.
And I'll just quote him briefly.
He was at a Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona.
And he was talking about immigration.
He said all the typical lefty things with a little bit of a new wrinkle or two.
He said, and I quote, We need immigrants to take all the different kinds of jobs that the country needs, improve our culture, our cuisine, our religion, our dialogue, and certainly improve our economy.
Now this is an interesting one to me.
Michael Bloomberg, he's one of our elder brothers in the faith.
I'm wondering how he plans to have our religion improved by immigrants.
Our culture, our cuisine.
You know, what so annoys me about this is the assumption that anybody from anywhere is going to improve America.
The utter contempt this shows for the founding stock of the United States.
We need these people.
They're going to improve our dialogue, our cuisine, our religion, our culture, and certainly going to improve our economy.
The fact that immigrants from Latin America are many times more likely to be on welfare than native-born Americans.
All of this is just thrown completely out the window when Michael Bloomberg tosses his hat.
Well, he's excited that most of these immigrants will be non-white, and that means the displacement and dispossession of whites.
It's funny, back in 2006 he had an incredible quote, on April 1st of all days.
I'd like to read this to you.
Yes, please do.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says golf fairways would suffer if illegal immigrants were returned to their native country.
Quote, you and I are beneficiaries of these jobs, Bloomberg told his WABC AM radio co-host John Gambling.
Quote, you and I both play golf.
Who takes care of the greens and the fairways in your golf course?
End quote.
That does sound like a rather short-sighted way to view immigration, doesn't it?
Who takes care of the fairways?
I mean, golly, a native-born American or a U.S.
citizen is incapable of growing grass.
It's a job that, you know, growing up I had a lot of friends who were in high school and that was a job that was coveted because you got to play golf for free.
You get to drive around golf carts, and chew tobacco, and interact with some very wealthy people, and then you get to play golf for free.
But I guess it's, in Bloomberg's eyes, it's a job that only illegal immigrants can do.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I wonder if they enjoy playing golf for free too.
But, you know, this is part of the trend in the United States, a different trend, is the legalization of marijuana.
And Michigan and Illinois on January 1st of next year will join nine other states that broadly allow marijuana sales.
And companies are rushing to set up shop.
They expect this to be a bonanza.
Well, Illinois lawmakers have passed a law intended to ensure that people of color can open and work for marijuana businesses despite historic inequities in enforcement of state and federal drug laws.
Now, what this means is that you have to apply for a permit to open up a pot shop in Illinois.
And they're going to make the process one that includes a scoring bonus for what they call social equity applicants.
That includes people living in communities most affected by enforcement of marijuana laws or individuals arrested for or convicted of marijuana offenses that would be legal under the new law.
So, living in communities most affected by enforcement of marijuana laws, that means people who lived in the most likely-to-break-the-law communities.
And we know which ones they were.
So, a low-interest loan program for these applicants was also created as part of the law.
They will get points!
Now, it's interesting to me that they don't just come right out and say, blacks just go to the head of the line.
I'm not sure that would be legal or illegal, but the point is they want to be sure that blacks participate in this bonanza.
Well, we'll see how that works out.
In any case, what they're doing certainly has a disparate impact.
In other words, if you say, OK, we're going to give you a license, we're going to give you loans, if you were in a community or lived in an area that broke these marijuana laws more frequently than any other place.
That sounds like disparate impact to me.
It does.
But disparate impact doesn't seem to count when white people are the victims.
Now, there is a city in Illinois That took the bull by the horns.
It said it's going to create a reparations fund for blacks.
It doesn't seem to be caring at all about whether or not that's legal or illegal.
Nope.
And through a new tax on marijuana sales.
This is the city of Evanston, which is 12 miles north of Chicago.
It's voted to approve a 3% tax on marijuana sales to fund a reparations program.
And the tax is expected to generate between half a million and $750,000 annually for the reparations fund.
That will be capped, however, at $10 million over the next 10 years.
So, What are they going to do with this money and how are they going to dole it out?
Well, the fund will be available to all of the city's black residents.
And you don't have to prove that you had an enslaved ancestor.
Anybody.
Anybody who's black.
What if you're one of those Rachel Dozel type of whites who identifies as African American?
Well, see, that's a good question.
How do they determine who's black?
I mean, gosh, if race is a social construct, it seems to me pretty much anybody can claim to be black.
Yeah, exactly.
If you have DNA tests, what percentage of African do you need to actually have coursing through your veins to be classified as African or black?
Maybe you have to fail the paper bag test.
Who knows?
I just don't know how it's going to work.
But they're going to dole out the lolly only to blacks.
Now, this is not the kind of city that you might expect to be doing this.
Whites are 59% of the population.
Blacks are only 17%, Hispanics 11%, and Asians are 10%.
It's not the kind of city that you would expect to vote that way.
The alderman who proposed the reparations bill, her name is Robin Simmons.
Robin Simmons, she says, wants the reparations to be distributed as direct payments to black residents rather than just another diversity policy.
Direct payments.
Direct payments.
Non-taxable direct payments like that.
Grease my palm is what she's saying.
None of this reparations baloney.
I want money.
I want a check made out to me.
Of course, she's black.
Well, before she was elected alderman, she apparently owned a construction company.
Pretty unusual for a black woman.
And she received $160,000 for a gut rehab of a home but walked off the job before it was done.
Well, a judge ordered her to pay back more than $64,000 to the couple that she hoaxed.
So we get some sort of sense of how she deals with money.
That was back in 2017.
Well, in 2018, the city's Board of Ethics started an inquiry about her.
Because she was on a committee that doled out city funding to various organizations, one of which was something called Sunshine Enterprises, of which she was an employee.
So, yes, it was the Committee on Development Block Grant Funding and her employer, Sunshine Enterprises, had its foot in the trough, so she was investigated for conflict of interest.
So, it doesn't sound as though she's someone who really believes in working for money.
And if she can sort of nick into this marijuana bonanza and distribute the money to all of her co-racialists, that sounds as though she'll be doing just fine.
Now, I believe you had an equally heartwarming story about Durham.
About Durham.
Durham, North Carolina.
Fascinating little city, if you've ever seen Bull Durham, the great Kevin Costner movie.
It is no longer that quaint southern city where they play Dixie in between innings.
That was made in the late 80s, so that was a very different America.
I'm sure you've never even heard of this movie, which is more power to you, but it's a pretty famous sports movie.
Look at this.
Last year, in August of 2018, there is this minister named Paul Scott who asked the Durham
City Council to paint a dilapidated crosswalk in the McDougald Terrace Housing Project in
— get this — pan-Africanist colors, red, black, and green, as a way to, quote, instill
self-pride.
unquote, in the impoverished and violence-plagued African-American community.
Huh.
That's as good an idea as any I've heard.
See, it's definitely a better idea than what we talked about earlier with these schools getting rid of the SAT and other interest exams.
We'll get this.
So, he said this.
Scott said this.
I thought it would be a good look for McDougald Terrace.
Maybe if gang members saw those colors, they would lay down their gang colors.
Wow.
If they see black, red, and green, they will lay down their gang colors.
As a crosswalk.
You know, you're increasing... In a lot of cities, you're seeing crosswalks painted LGBT rainbow.
You're seeing all sorts of causes.
So this guy thinks... Anything but red, white, and blue, I suppose.
Anything but red, white, and blue, or anything but boring monolithic white, I guess.
White's gotta go.
I mean, the Great Replacement is even coming to crosswalks in the United States, people.
Sounds that way, yeah.
So, this guy's upset.
Because it's been stalled.
Nothing's happening.
He's a decidedly unorthodox Baptist pastor.
He's a founder of the Black Messiah Movement, which combines black liberation theology with social activism, arguing that black communities need to become their own saviors.
That's commendable.
And he spends his Sunday afternoons in West Durham handing out books celebrating black history.
But unfortunately, nothing's been done.
Nothing's been done yet.
He petitioned back in August of 2018.
This story just came out earlier this week, and he's upset because in October, He was thinking about the crosswalk again because there was a shooting string of high-profile shootings that killed two right where this crosswalk would be painted.
And the crosswalk would surely have prevented that.
That's in his opinion.
Yeah, he thinks that.
Then last month the neighborhood was again in the public eye after a man was shot to death in broad daylight.
Not but mere feet from where the crosswalk would be painted black, red, and green.
Tell me something.
How difficult is it to buy a couple of cans of paint and paint it yourself?
How hard would that be?
I mean, if it's going to save lives, if it's going to result in black pan-Africanist pride, how hard would it be?
But now, so he's annoyed.
He's annoyed that the city has not done this.
He's very upset.
He's very upset and he continues to push.
You know, again, they say that, hey, we're looking into it, you know, we've got a committee that's forming a committee, and they might bring about a committee next year where we'll once again entertain this idea.
And Scott, no, he's still awaiting word, but he thinks he knows why the proposal, Mr. Taylor.
And dear listener, has not.
Come to fruition yet?
I can guess.
Well, here it is, quote, I think any symbol of black unity scares white people.
I think that's the two ton elephant in the room no one wants to talk about.
End quote.
You know, white people are going to see a black, red and green crosswalk and they're just going to run for their lives.
Well, they definitely stay away from Martin Luther King Drive Avenue Street.
Well, if they see that, they're going to say, what is it, MacDougall Terrace?
They're going to say, whoops, I'm in MacDougall Terrace.
I'm in the wrong place.
I'm sure they already do.
That's why it's a food desert.
Well, you know, we have another interesting choice from an American university this time, University of Madison, University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Apparently there is a residence hall called Witt Residence Hall which includes a multicultural learning center.
And the purpose of this multicultural learning center is to create safe spaces for diverse groups of students To foster an understanding between people with different beliefs and to teach students about social justice.
This is part of the residence hall.
Now, there's a fellow who works in the Multicultural Learning Center, known to its friends as the MLC, and his name is Chia-Fung Yang.
Well, Chia-Fung Yang considers himself a community leader who is vocal about racial issues.
And he explores, and I should add, he's sort of a counselor.
He's a counselor who helps freshmen find their feet in their first year at the university.
And he was explaining how to use the MLC, the Multicultural Learning Center.
And he was told, and he told the students, don't bring too many white students around here.
Well, the word got out.
And he was put on paid leave from his job because this was considered just not quite right to tell not being white students around.
Well, he is sticking to his guns.
He says there's a more significant problem than that, and that is that students of color are not listened to the way white students are.
He said white students beefed about being told they couldn't come around and they were heard right away, he says.
And he got in trouble for saying this.
And he says, he asks, is it just that they're uncomfortable because for the first time in their life, their whiteness and their white privilege is being challenged?
This is Mr. Yang, Chieh-Fung Yang.
Well, believe it or not, and this must be a real headache for the university, students protested the fact that he was put on leave without pay.
He's still getting his salary, you see, while they investigate what to do.
And Yang supporters took to the University Housing Office just on Monday of this week with placards and they said UW, University of Wisconsin, exploits its staff of color.
And then there's an even better one.
We don't need your fake ally ship.
In other words, the university is, of course, saying, no, we love our people of color.
We're doing everything possible.
We don't need your fake allyship.
Now, from a photograph of this demonstration, it looked to be about a hundred people there.
That's a lot.
That's a lot of allies.
No, quite a few whites, too.
Just trying to be allies.
And this is just great.
They want a formal apology to the residents of the MLC, the Multicultural Learning Center, and others affected for, as they put it, prioritizing white feelings over POC safety.
In other words, having a place where whites are essentially excluded, that guarantees safety for people of color.
And the fact that white people were told, get lost, and their feelings were hurt, this is unacceptable.
Because the university has prioritized Feelings, white feelings over POC safety.
Get that?
The fact that white people are told to get lost, that hurt their feelings, but having them stay lost is essential for POC safety.
It's not okay to have white feelings.
Oh, heavens no.
Now freshman Juliet Chang added that Yang is the largest reason she and others feel safe on campus.
Without him, oh my gosh, they would just feel targeted and tormented.
She says that's underappreciated and undervalued.
She says, and this is just extraordinary, UW-Madison does not want me Or other students of color to feel like our bodies or our feelings matter.
She says, we are tokenized to sell diversity, but we have taken and made the MLC our home.
That's the legacy and hard work of people like Chofeng.
This is just incredible to me.
These people with Chinese names, they apparently, without the hard work of a guy who is chasing white people away from part of the school, that's the only reason they feel safe?
Extraordinary.
But when they are told this is a racial discrimination, they gotta stop.
Oh boy, that's prioritizing white feelings over POC safety.
Well, interestingly enough, I'd say I was very curious to know whether Mr. Chofeng Yang was an actual Chinese person from China or a homegrown.
And I'm guessing he is probably homegrown because according to his LinkedIn profile, he speaks fluent Hmong.
So my guess is he's a local.
He calls himself a singer-songwriter.
Good for him.
But, you know, we will really know that the end has come when foreign students start behaving this way.
Yeah.
But I don't rule that out either.
And so I was very curious to know whether this guy was a foreign student or whether he was homegrown diversity.
But now, I believe that you were going to explain to me the problems that Mr. Buttigieg, Buttigieg, Buttigieg.
Buttigieg!
Buttigieg!
Sorry, sorry.
I just can't get that right.
Buttigieg, yeah.
Buttigieg.
The problems that he's having.
He's got troubles.
Nobody knows the troubles he's seen.
Well, he's doing fine in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Those islands of whiteness.
Right, right.
25% of Democratic primary voters are black.
How much support do you think... How much support do you think Mayor Buttigieg has?
Black voters will likely make up about 25% of Democrat primary voters.
That's according to FiveThirtyEight.com.
So one fourth.
That's huge.
So huge.
So he better shuck and jive.
They're expected to be a majority in states like Alabama and Mississippi.
So what's my guess as to what his approval rating is?
What do you think his approval rating is?
According to a Quinnipiac poll that was taken on November 18th, South Carolina is one of the first big states he's going to come to where he's going to have to interact with black voters.
What do you think his approval rating is with blacks?
He must be getting, oh, four or five percent, something like that.
He's about zero percent with blacks.
Zero percent?
Zero percent.
Well, I'd do better with blacks than that.
I think you might even do better than Trump or McCain did.
Good grief.
Okay, gosh, what's he done now?
So what he's done is he went to the Reverend William Barber.
His Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
I must confess, I'm not familiar with where Goldsboro is, but the Reverend William Barber is a black minister and they decided, since he's battling this dearth of support among black voters, they were going to offer him a chance to testify and to have a Q&A session.
What do you think they talked about?
What do you think they talked about at this session?
They should have talked about police brutality and systemic discrimination and all the usual stuff.
Institutional white supremacy.
Briefly touched on that.
The most curious aspect of this entire dialogue was this.
And I should mention that Minister Barber is a civil rights activist as well.
All black preachers are.
Come on, that goes without saying.
Here's what Barber said.
Barber said, let me ask you a couple quick rapid-fire questions.
Do you think we need to also stop allowing forces to demonize people who are trying to get their immigration status?
And we start lifting up all the ways they benefit this country.
Let's talk about illegal immigrants.
He then continues, he goes, quote, the money in social security, the taxes they pay, yeah I mean the uncomfortable reality is that undocumented folks are in many ways, like social security, subsidizing everybody else.
Here's the kicker.
And we need to talk about that.
Well actually Buttigieg, Buttigieg is the one who claimed that.
Buttigieg.
He jumped in and he's the one who said yes.
He believes that illegal aliens are subsidizing In many ways, Social Security.
So he's an absolute 100% Pinocchio.
A Pinocchio beyond Pinocchio.
Sorry, go ahead.
Let me continue and then you jump in.
So Barbara then jumps in and says, and we need to talk about that.
We call people illegal aliens and all these things that are not human and certainly not Christian.
Why can't we just own in America that some of the people that are trying to come from Mexico here are coming back to land we stole?
In the video, there's video evidence of all this, Buttigieg sat up in his seat and he made an expression as if he had just been given a jolt, a shot of truth, and nodded his head.
As this black audience applauds the Reconquista of California, New Mexico, Arizona, all of the land that the great James K. Polk was successful in taking for Manifest Destiny.
This is perplexing to me for a number of reasons.
Why does this black preacher think that he's going to boost Buttigieg's appeal to blacks by saying we need more illegal immigrants?
Don't you think that most black people think we've got plenty of illegal immigrants?
No, I don't.
You see polls, you see people say that all the time.
I think that there's very Precious few.
Definitely a minority of blacks who didn't care about that issue.
There are some heroic ones, I think, that I remember reading at places like V-Dare.
I think there was a radio host out of Los Angeles.
Oh, there have been a number of blacks who have been very vocal about that.
And in fact, they will tell you that the actual blacks who they know, who live and work, who are trying to scrape by for the living, they do not want people coming in and undercutting them and underbidding them on jobs.
They don't like it at all.
But it's the elite blacks, the ones who have their snout in the public trough, They're the ones who think that's just a great thing.
They're going to have this rainbow coalition against the white man.
United against whitey.
I think there are a lot of blacks who just do not like this idea.
But who knows?
But the idea, first of all, that this guy thinks that he's going to get black support for this honky candidate by saying, making him agree that
we stole the land from the Mexicans and we want all these Mexicans come pouring back
in.
And of course, this honky at the same time is nodding his head and agreeing.
He's from Texas, isn't he?
I guess.
He's from South Bend, Indiana.
Mayor Buttigieg.
Sorry, sorry.
That was a complete mistake.
Yes, former mayor.
Former mayor.
Well, actually, he's the current.
That's right.
Since he's not from Texas, I guess he's perfectly happy to give it back to Mexico.
He's just this goofy, Midwestern guy from Indiana.
He's got elite connections.
He's still mayor.
I'd forgotten.
Boy, he's an absentee mayor then, isn't he?
Yeah, I don't really think.
You know, in South Bend, I think the only thing they care about is college football.
Touchdown, Jesus.
So, I doubt they're that worried about, you know, again, it's one of these small towns, not much to do.
Right.
And the mayoral office.
But, it's fascinating that he would go down and prostrate himself.
And basically just, as he's begging for anybody I wonder what you have to do if you're a Pete Buttigieg and you've got 0% support.
What do you really have to do?
What do you really have to do?
I've got an idea.
He's got to go to Durham, North Carolina and paint the Pan-African flag with Minister Scott and say, listen, I'm a mayor.
If anybody gets mad, you can blame the white guy.
You can blame the gay white guy.
No one's going to be upset with that.
That would be a great photo op.
It would be an amazing photo op.
It would be better than a photo op of him when he's next to two brothers and they're sipping out of forties.
Have you seen that photo where he's got a beer in a paper bag?
It's almost as if he's afraid to sip it.
It's an embarrassingly feminine photo next to these two hard brothers.
Oh dear, oh dear.
Well, Pete, good luck.
I've got to bring up something real quick, since we're on the subject of the Democratic presidential primaries.
Hey, mea culpa, mea culpa.
Kamala Harris has pulled out.
Huge, huge news.
Because guess what?
There's only one person of color.
Well, there's a couple.
There are two now.
Deval Patrick, Cory Booker, but they're both still in the race.
Yeah, then you've got Andrew Yang and you've got Tulsi Gabbard.
Very shortly, Cory Booker is going to drop out because he's got virtually no support.
Now, did Vol Patrick actually announce, or was he just circling around?
I think he announced, and then he had one event where nobody showed up at his HBCU, so he called it off.
Okay.
And he might technically be in, but he probably has as much support as Mayor Buttigieg has black support in South Carolina.
Yes, yes.
Okay, well now we're moving overseas at this point and to the Republic of Congo.
And the story over there is people who are working for the Ebola containment effort in the Democratic Republic of Congo are being killed.
Two people were killed in an attack on two locations and another six people were injured.
This was in eastern Congo, which is pretty violent to begin with, in an area called Biakato Mines.
What's significant, of course, about this is that these folks are trying to contain an outbreak of Ebola, which is the second most serious outbreak of its kind, but the fact that they are killing the people who are trying to control the outbreak Results in the World Health Organization having withdrawn all of its staff from what it calls a strategically critical location.
In another attack, in a place called Mangina, a policeman guarding response workers was killed.
And according to WHO spokesman, to date, there have been 386 attacks on Ebola workers with at least seven deaths and 77 injuries.
The kind of thing that happens is a male nurse was strangled in front of his wife.
A member of the team charged with burying corpses safely, and that is you get in these hazmat suits and you don't touch them because touching corpses of people who died of Ebola is very dangerous, burying them safely and quickly so they don't infect new victims, was slashed to death with a machete.
Two treatment centers have been completely torched and destroyed.
And so, as I say, this is a serious outbreak that the World Health Organization is trying very, very hard to control.
Why is it that people are attacking these response workers?
Do you have any idea?
I don't.
Well, You should have been able to imagine this.
I... You should have been able to.
Some locals think Ebola was introduced by white people.
White people!
White people brought it here.
And why did they do that?
Because they want the locals to die so their organs can be harvested.
Okay.
Yes, that's a common view.
Now, another view is that Ebola was brought in by the government in order to exterminate the Nande tribe.
They are the biggest ethnic group in the region.
Others say that Ebola is a fiction.
It's imaginary.
And the whole idea, it's a lie cooked up to prevent people from voting in elections last year.
Because you see, the polls in the area were suspended Because of an outbreak in areas that happen to be strongholds of an opposition candidate, but they didn't want people mixing at the polling stations infecting each other.
So, these people are not going to take this stuff lying down.
They're just going to go and slaughter the folks who are trying to contain the epidemic.
So, who knows what this will bring?
But here we have white people out there busily trying to help.
Now, I must point out, so far as I can tell, these are not white workers who are being killed.
These are local hires.
Correct.
I mean, if you had white people being slashed to death with machetes, that might be big news.
It's not big news in South Africa, is it?
No, no.
But, you know, the idea here, you have these World Health Organization, all these charities out there trying to save Africa and trying to prevent Ebola from breaking out all around the world.
Well, they're facing unanticipated difficulties.
Well, it's funny you say that because think about what we talked about earlier.
Jack Merritt.
He's trying to celebrate with this learning center, this prison rehab program.
That's right.
He's stabbed to death and his dad is more upset at those who noticed who did it!
And who noticed how it happened and why it happened.
That's right.
It's like you said.
The crime of noticing.
Unanticipated difficulties.
While we're overseas, let us take a look at what Angela Merkel said the other day.
I'll quote this verbatim.
I'm not going to try to affect a German accent.
I'll leave the accents to you.
I'm having fun today.
It's a little looser episode.
I'm hoping that our listeners will not be surprised.
She says, expressing an opinion does not come at zero cost.
Freedom of expression has limits.
Those limits begin where hatred is spread.
They begin where the dignity of other people is violated.
This She's talking to the Bundestag.
talking to the Bundestag. This house will and must oppose extreme speech.
Otherwise our society will no longer be the free society that it was. And now
there's some sort of German logic there that is beyond the capability of my
anglophone understanding here. You've got to cut down on freedom of speech
otherwise you don't have a free society.
The other point here, she says, limits begin where hatred is spread.
And the limits begin where the dignity of other people is violated.
Now, that seems to be a bit of a leap.
You know, hatred is just violating the dignity of others.
That's hatred?
I mean, that's just sort of the crazy thinking these goofy lefties subscribe to.
But this reminds me, of course, of that famous quote, whether apocryphal or not, during the Vietnam War, we had to destroy the village in order to save it.
Well, German freedom Can be protected only by squashing freedom.
By extirpating freedom.
Yes.
It is saved.
Well, that's dear old Angela for us.
And I think we're coming down the home stretch here.
We have a Danish study on diversity that I wanted to report.
This was put on by a group of researchers looking into whether, quote, continued immigration and the corresponding growing ethnic diversity, close quote, have positive effects on social unity, cohesion, and togetherness or not.
And the study resoundingly concluded that, quote, continued immigration and corresponding growing ethnic diversity exert exactly the opposite effect on society.
A meta-analysis of 87 studies from Western countries conducted by professors at the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University in Denmark, and one of the study's main researchers, Peter Dennison, wrote, to be clear, The overall negative relationship between residential ethnic diversity and social trust is statistically significant and holds up when conditioning on a range of potential confounders and moderators.
In other words, that's fancy talk for saying that you can slice the data any way you like.
The fact that really matters is not poverty.
It's not commuting distance.
It's not how much sunshine you get during the day.
It is diversity.
The only way to explain this decline in social trust is by diversity.
Now I'm glad to see the Danes are looking into this.
The Danes have been pretty good about this.
They have been.
Let's see if they actually decide to implement Well, that's right.
Well, they're willing to say diversity is very bad for our society, so let's keep it homogeneous.
But, you know, there have been a number of studies coming out, or at least claims coming out, that companies in the United States with more diverse workforces have higher returns on assets and things like that.
I've seen some references to these.
I don't know if you've seen them.
Diversity Inc.
always pushes this stuff.
It's insane.
I'd love to see the data on this.
Where are the data?
Where are the real numbers?
And what do they mean by diversity, anyway?
Sometimes you'll find that what they mean by diversity is people that have studied humanities and people who've studied sciences.
Well, yes, there is a kind of functional diversity.
I like to make the point that if you're building a house, You need a diverse workforce.
You need plumbers.
You need electricians.
You need roofers.
You need people who can lay concrete.
That's diversity that matters.
Drywall.
You have to do it all.
Exactly.
You need really trained artisans.
You've got to put nice stuff in your home.
That's right.
Diversity matters.
But the way we talk about diversity, the idea would be, well, you don't hire on the basis of that.
You just want the right number of blacks and Hispanics and one-legged lesbians and free juice drinkers.
We've talked about Silicon Valley, which has had pretty much the best returns over the past few years, talking about just purely stock market, stock price.
And we've talked about the paucity of blacks and Hispanics at Facebook, Apple, Amazon.
Netflix.
Google.
Microsoft.
You name the company, the data is there.
You can see the workforce.
There's a colored graph.
Whites are X amount.
Asians are Y amount.
I'm making my hands quite big.
Little bitty bitty down there at the bottom.
There's a small little graph denoting, oh my gosh, 2.1% of employees are black and only 3.1% are Hispanic.
This is a crisis.
How can this company go on?
Well, you know, Microsoft's stock price is Doing quite nicely, despite this problem.
And the theory, of course, is that there are all of these absolute first-rate crackerjack computer programmers and coders who are Hispanic women and black people, and they are just facing this absolute impenetrable wall of discrimination.
I'll tell you what, every corporation in America would love to work with A minority vendor that specialized in development, software engineering, computations, etc.
They would be kicking one another down for the opportunity to get those contracts.
And then they could say, look how diverse our suppliers are.
Look how diverse those we consult with are.
But I just want to stress again, this podcast flew by.
This was a lot of fun today.
YouTube, cracking down hard.
We know December 10th, they've set that date.
We're moving closer to it.
