Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wherever you are, welcome to the very first Radio Renaissance podcast of 2020.
It's my pleasure and it somewhat humbles me to have to announce that this is the fourth year of Radio Renaissance with PK and myself.
We have been doing this since 2016.
Hard to believe, but true.
I am, of course, Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is the indispensable PK, who will, of course, join me in hoping that you passed a very, very pleasant New Year's Eve and are looking forward, as certainly the two of us are, to an absolute top drawer, first-rate New Year.
Well, good afternoon, good morning, or good evening, depending on where you are in this world of ours across the country.
Wherever you are listening, we thank you again.
And to reiterate, Mr. Taylor said, happiest new year to you and yours as we embark on a new decade.
I believe this is...
The fourth decade of your publication.
Depends on how you count it.
The first issue of American Renaissance went to the mail at the end of 1989.
That'd be five decades then!
No, come on, that makes thirty years of it, doesn't it?
But yeah, 80, 90, 2000, the 2010s, whatever you call that decade.
All right, all right.
If you count them every decade that we have set foot in, even for a moment, then yes, four decades.
There's one thing I would like to continue to count, and that is our subscribers going up.
I want to thank each and every one of you who have gone to our YouTube channel.
Our podcast channel and like the page so that you get notifications when the newest podcast or if it's one of Mr. Taylor's fantastic interviews that he does and records.
A little treat occasionally will throw your way.
We want to make sure you get those.
So make sure you like the page, the channel, so you know what's coming and also make sure you like each individual video.
That helps out when it comes to the way that these videos are presented.
You know, I know you probably saw that study, Mr. Taylor, on the algorithm changes.
Where anybody who's advocating for white identity, I think they've dropped it like 95% on YouTube in terms of how they are positioned.
It's been a precipitous collapse.
It's been a collapse for all the creators.
But we want to thank each and every one of you.
And like Mr. Taylor said going back, 2020, let's make it ours.
Oh, it's already ours.
But I have to start off this podcast with a warning.
What we just did, Wish Everyone Happy New Year, is pretty soon, I suspect, going to be on par with wishing people Merry Christmas.
And after all, Merry Christmas is considered a hate crime these days because not everybody is a Christian.
Not everyone celebrates the birth of Christ.
But I did a little research on this problem and I discovered that there's an enormous number of people in the world, probably more than half the people in the world, don't celebrate New Year's on January 1st.
So if you wish, if you are promiscuous and indiscriminate in your Happy New Year wishes, you could be deeply insulting to people.
So I think I will get a jump on the lefties and now warn you all, be careful to whom you wish a Happy New Year.
First of all, the Chinese New Year, you know, that's not on January 1st.
Everyone has sort of a vague sense of this, but it will run from January 25th to February 8th.
It's not.
It hasn't just happened.
It is on its way.
And it will be, by the way, the Year of the Rat.
I think we could consider that that is an appropriate name for certain circumstances, for certain people that we can think of.
And it's the same for Korean New Year.
So be careful with your Chinese and your Koreans.
Furthermore, there is the Iranian New Year.
It's known as Nowruz.
It is celebrated by both Zoroastrian and people of the Baha'i faith.
And the date coincides with the equinox, which will not come around until mid-March.
So be careful with your Iranians.
The day is typically celebrated with trumpets to herald the new year.
So, yes, you might have to keep your ears plugged when the equinox comes around, depending on who your neighbors are.
Then there's the Balinese New Year.
It's known as Nyepi.
It falls on March 9th.
It is a day of self-reflection and rest, and most of the island of Bali is closed.
So, for your Balinese friends, Happy New Year!
Don't wish them at the wrong time.
Then there's Sinhalese New Year, which, interestingly enough, coincides with the Tamil New Year, despite the fact that on Sri Lanka, the two groups were slaughtering each other.
A great clip for several years.
They do celebrate the same New Year's.
And that will be sometime in April.
So we have yet to show up.
So New Year's has yet to come around in Sri Lanka.
For the Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains, Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, is the New Year.
That doesn't come until October.
And for the Muslims, our friends the Muslims, the first day of Muharram, which is the first month of the Muslim calendar, it's known as Ras Asana Al-Hijjah.
And that won't come around until August 19th.
So don't insult your Muslim friends by wishing them a Happy New Year until the time comes.
And not to be forgotten, there is Aboriginal Murador New Year in Australia.
Now, unfortunately, and I feel sorry for them, Murador people are now extinct, but their culture lives on in artifacts and in certain texts.
And we must not antagonize their ghosts by wishing them a Happy New Year on the wrong date, which, again, is not coming until about March or April.
So, again, I have gotten a jump on the lefties.
I'm very proud of myself.
I'm warning all you people, all you potential social justice warrior wannabes out there, don't wish people a happy new year indiscriminately.
Well, remember the beer companies in America, Modelo, Corona, they helped make Cinco de Mayo an American holiday.
I don't see why beer manufacturers in those countries you just mentioned, if they want to Get a jump on things and take advantage of America's increasing multiculturalism and diversity.
You could turn all those events into celebrations that white alcoholics would love to partake in celebrating.
Yes, maybe you can get the champagne maker to sign on too.
We can sing Auld Lang Syne and drink champagne and have toasts half a dozen different times during the year.
I'm sure Auld Lang Syne translates beautifully into some of the languages that you just mentioned.
Oh, I'm sure the sentiment does.
But anyway, that's our little New Year's story for the day.
But we have another New Year's story.
This one has to do with the Vox founder and editor-at-large, Ezra Klein.
Now, how did he celebrate the end of the year?
He tweeted out a nine-month-old Washington Post article which was claiming to report on a study according to which counties in the United States that hosted Trump rallies saw increases of an average of 260% in hate crimes.
compared to the counties that did not host Trump rallies.
Now, the implication was obvious.
If Donald Trump comes to town and has a rally, then, of course, there'd be people
coming streaming out of that amphitheater, bound and determined to commit hate crimes.
Well, this Ezra Klein, Vox founder, has 2.5 million followers.
That's an awful lot of followers.
That is a lot of followers.
And his tweet got more than 7,000 retweets and more than 14.
This is the sort of stuff that those people really like to hear, after all.
So 14,000 strikes me as a rather small number.
But the trouble is, this article was based on a so-called study that was thoroughly debunked months and months ago by researchers at, believe it or not, Harvard University.
Yes, even Harvard sometimes manages to stumble its way into the light of the truth.
Harvard researchers Matthew Liley and Brian Wheatson.
They wrote, and this is months ago, this was debunked, but Ezra Klein hasn't heard about it, and I quote, adding a simple statistical control for a county population causes the estimated effect of Trump rallies on reported hate incidents to become statistically indistinguishable from zero.
So it was a very simple little thing to do and then you go on to say,
given how little scrutiny was required to reveal the flaws in the thesis that Trump rallies cause
hate incidents, one cannot help but wonder whether its viral status was aided by journalists
predisposed to believe its message. Well I'm sure that was very much the case.
This was reported by the Washington Post.
The Washington Post obviously didn't bother to look into the study at all.
That word you just used, predisposed, I would almost say that's the proper word, but required to maintain that blue checkmark.
It's the oxygen you and I are breathing in our respective locations.
Believing that study, that's how you maintain that blue checkmark on Twitter.
That verification that you are part of that club.
Yes, that's for sure.
And the post, they published this thing without the slightest bit of hesitation.
And the article is still on the website without the slightest correction.
So, and at the same time, Ezra Klein has yet to delete this foolish tweet, even though others have pointed out that the study that he was so proud of and so happy to circulate has been thoroughly and completely debunked.
But you know, this just tells me, it's such a fascinating, it's a consistent comment.
It's as you say, they want to believe this so badly.
They want to believe that when Don Trump goes out before a group of people and says that the economy is doing great, that black unemployment is low, that they're going to immediately rush out and commit hate crimes.
That's exactly what they want to believe.
So even something that is on the face of it, improbable.
I mean, if anybody thinks at all seriously about this, how could anyone really even begin to believe that a Trump rally is going to double or triple the number of reported hate crimes?
It's just preposterous on the face of it.
But this is so much what they want to believe that it's as if they were suddenly taking stupid pills when the subject of Donald Trump's effect is brought up.
Well, recall the great hoax of 2019, Jussie Smollett.
How fast?
Think about people like Ben Shapiro, Benny Johnson, these guys who are involved with Turning Point USA.
They jumped immediately and attacked the Covington boys.
I think they've subsequently deleted the tweets.
I think even Charlie Kirk, so all those guys I just named, they all jumped on board in defaming the Covington boys.
And of course the blue check marks to this day.
They still will believe... Well here, I've got...
I confuse the two. The Covington boys and DC, we all know what that was. And then of
course Jussie Smollett, how that was promoted. I mean again, 2019 was so incredible with
these hate crime hoaxes and yet still if you ask your average orange man bad opponent of
Donald Trump, they would say, they would look at you in the face and they would say, of
course that happened.
Of course, of course those Covetin boys were the bad guys.
Of course these churches, it was some white Trump supporter who wrote that horrible stuff on these churches.
I think Jussie's star has probably faded somewhat, however.
Even the people, even the people who are inclined to believe that stuff, who live to believe that stuff, I think some of them have to concede that that was a hoax.
You know, Empire's actually trying to bring him back for the final season, so... I know you're excited about watching that program on Fox.
I'm sure he'll redeem himself.
But now, moving now to the state of California, this is yet another one of these attempts to correct alleged racism by doing something incredibly and profoundly stupid.
Well, I got two data points for you I want to bring up.
Please.
What percent of public school K-12 enrollment is white in the state of California.
White?
Oh, gosh.
Well, whites are already a minority.
When it comes to public school, births have been a minority in that state among whites for a long time.
I'd guess about 25%.
23%.
Oh, that's pretty close.
23%.
Second data point that we need to know before we get to the story.
Though blacks Though black students make up just 5% of the public school enrollment in the state of California, they represent the vast majority of students suspended.
Let's think about that, though.
That means 70% are either Hispanic or Asian.
Correct.
Well, that's the America of the future, I suppose, in some people's view.
Anyway.
Even though the state banned suspensions based on defiance and disruption back in 2014, they did this to try and stop too many non-white, primarily black, students from being suspended because of that disparate impact.
This was during the really dark days of the Barack Obama administration, where they were doing everything possible to derail that school-to-prison pipeline.
As they call it.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, get this.
Too many students of color are still being suspended in California, which means... Even one is probably too many.
Yes, which means that starting in 2020, new laws are going to come into effect, which are basically going to make it so that, get this, and I wish this was from The Onion, I wish that I was reading a story that had no validity or truth to it, but this is reality.
This is the America to borrow The MSNBC anchor who on the night Trump got elected, she said, this is the America you live in now.
This is the America you live in.
Well, here it is.
This is the America we live in.
It is now going to be illegal for public schools in the state to suspend students in first through fifth grade for willfully defying teachers or administrators.
Then from 2021 through 2025, it'll be temporarily extended to kids in grades 6 through 8.
So the prototype, 1st through 5th, and then the very next year it goes to 6th through 8th.
Supporters say the suspensions for willful defiance are disproportionately used against Students of color.
Now, remember that math that we did earlier about the enrollment.
Whites are a minority.
23%.
As you noted, Hispanics and Asians make up... 30%.
Yeah.
Well, no, no.
They make up 70% of the enrollment, roughly.
30%.
Because whites and blacks, 20%.
went roughly. 30% because whites and blacks are 28%. So the new law is set to be phased
in over the next three years.
High schools can start no earlier than 830 and oh well then they've got some other goofy laws that are not what we need to talk about.
But the point is California is the Is that litmus test where you're going to find out how is this going to work out?
Are you going to see even more white flight already?
Of course.
From these schools.
And you'll see Asian flight too.
They'll end up being nothing but Hispanic and black, probably.
Asians are not going to sit still for this sort of thing.
No, not at all.
No, that's the way it goes.
Willful defiance.
I suppose that means if a student says, well, I'm just going to scream at the top of my lungs.
All class long.
That's willful defiance.
If a student says, I'm not going to do whatever you tell me, that's willful defiance.
What can you do with people like that?
You can't suspend them.
What do you do?
Again, that's one of the reasons why there are so many resource officers in these schools.
Well, but if they can't grab them by the ear and haul them off, probably.
I just don't know how you go about maintaining school discipline or class discipline.
Well, we talked at length last week about what's happening in New York, where they're basically getting rid of... They're making it so that if you can't pay bail, hey, you know what?
Let him go.
Too many people of color are being held in jail.
Just get rid of it.
You know, it's looking at what's happening in the two key liberal states, New York, California, you know, middle Americans, white Americans are kind of looking at all this and saying, well, gosh, is this the future we're going to have in a state like Wisconsin or Georgia?
Is this the future of Texas?
We know that in Texas, you know, talk about the K through 12 enrollment in Texas, it's getting sort of the same level.
I believe that it's 20.
I think it's 27% of the enrollment of K-12 public schools in Texas are white.
I believe that's the number.
That wouldn't surprise me.
So all you people who live in other states, let all this be a lesson to you.
Keep an eye on those places.
So now here is... Or start saving for private school.
Here's a different kind of story for us.
It's called A Black Man's View of White Privilege and it was written by a fellow named Lloyd Marcus in a website that's often worth reading called American Thinker.
And let me just quote.
A few passages from this Black Man's View of White Privilege.
Two years ago, my wife, Mary, and I relocated from Florida to West Virginia to be closer to our elderly parents.
We live in a tiny town of 500.
I am one of probably 10 blacks in town.
On a trip to the Dollar General, I saw an elderly white gentleman in the parking lot.
With a great warm smile, he said, My name is Pop Kern.
I'm 89 years old.
I've lived here all my life.
As we chatted, Pop Kern said, I thought, I guess Pop Kern didn't get the memo about what Democrats call his racist and unfair white privilege.
I thought, I guess Pop Kern didn't get the memo about what Democrats call his racist and unfair white privilege.
He just got up every morning and did what he had to do to earn a living.
And Lloyd Marcus goes on to say, It turns my stomach the way despicable, evil, Democrat
presidential candidates say white men like Pop Kern are responsible for everything wrong in the world.
responsible for everything wrong in the world.
Democrats boldly proclaim that if elected president, they will punish Pop Kern, tax the heck out of him, force him to pay reparations to minorities and even illegal aliens.
Folks, says says Lloyd Marcus.
We've allowed leftists to create a generation of hate-filled social injustice
where you're terrorists who believe the world would be a much better place
if we could get rid of scum of the earth white guys like Pop Kern.
Well, I think that's, you know, I wonder how many black people agree with that.
How many black people, if you explain to them, well, yes, I moved two years ago to the obviously
terrifying, redneck, white supremacist state of West Virginia and haven't had a
single cross burned in my lawn the whole time.
How many blacks would understand what this guy's saying and how many people would just shake their head and say, ah, Uncle Tom, miserable loser Uncle Tom.
I just wonder.
I just wonder.
I suspect there's probably a fairly large, substantial number of blacks who realize that all this stuff about white people being miserable, horrible people, enjoying unfair white privilege, I bet it's a fairly substantial number.
But what's significant about this is that an essay like this, and I believe this guy is entirely sincere in what he's doing, I'm sure he's black, he's writing, this is what happened, all this stuff about white privileges, baloney, nothing like this could ever be published in the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune.
It would be impossible, absolutely impossible.
This is so contrary to what those organs of mass media, the newspapers of record, Want to put on the record in any case it was an interesting.
It's an interesting piece that I thought we should take note
I think people I think I think blacks who aren't on social media and who don't get
their news from your Going back to the whole blue checkmark phenomenon those
that outrage mob that woke mob. Yeah, you know Again, you have to look at what happened in all sorts of elections, what happens when there's this outrage that is proliferated on social media.
But in the real world, there's just not that much attention.
People don't really care.
I'd say it's probably less than 10%.
Maybe even less than that.
But the point is, if you can divorce yourself from the The insanity of what goes on on social media and you can just live in the real world.
But it's not just social media.
I mean look at the sorts of things that the major media, it's not social media, corporate media, mainstream media, they're constantly bombarding blacks with this idea that every time they turn around they're going to meet a white supremacist.
Well they are, but corporate media, I would argue one of the fascinating things about the past four years is the fusion of corporate media with social media to the point now where they're inseparable because that is the only way they're being disseminated.
Look at the ratings for CNN, MSNBC, they're dropping.
Look at the subscription rates for these major newspapers.
USA Today is no longer going to be handed out in hotel chains.
I know you used to travel up for business.
Invariably, whatever hotel you were staying in, you would be able to pick up a trustee USA Today.
That's being cut back.
Because their ad revenue is down, I suppose.
They can't afford to give them away.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it's interesting to me that this fellow, Lloyd Marcus, I'm sure he lives a perfectly ordinary life.
Utterly unlike the woman who was the star in the last video that I put together on black art.
A woman by the name of Kara Walker, who is one of the most petted and fetid and slobbered over black artists, I'm sure, in the history of the world.
She's got exhibits all around the world.
Even her small untitled works go for two or three hundred thousand dollars at auction.
Oh, golly, well, she is always on the rampage about how she thinks that her life is threatened in white supremacist America, that there are white supremacist goons about to attack her any time.
She's the woman who was the second youngest person in the history of the MacArthur Foundation to get one of those genius grants.
I mean, everything she touches turns to gold, despite the fact that her so-called art Is to me quite repulsive for the most part.
But to me it's so remarkable to hear this woman who lives the most pampered and privileged life you could possibly imagine.
No, no, no.
It is so rough to be a lady black genius in a white America.
Speaking of repulsive characters, last week we discussed Michael Moore and his comments about when you walk down the street and you see a bunch of white guys walking towards you.
Three out of five of those white guys voted for Trump, and you've got to realize they're dangerous.
They're violent.
Well, we got a letter from one of our great listeners who said, hey, they could have done so much more about Michael Moore.
This guy claims to be a socialist.
He does all this stuff to try and help out the downtrodden.
You know, you had mentioned how many houses Barack Obama has.
This reader who wrote the piece to us said, hey, you should have mentioned that Michael Moore He has like 10 houses.
10?
This is a guy who is dripping with privilege, who has made tens of millions of dollars, and who could simply, if he believed in any of this diversity, if he believed in white privilege, he could give someone else his faded hat and say, you're the new Michael Moore.
I'll fund you.
You're a person of color.
I need, as a white male, I need to step away, because I should no longer be enjoying the privilege that my race affords me in this country.
Well, remember Al Gore after he invented the internet?
Then he got on his kick about saving the planet.
I remember reading something about how his mansion in Tennessee, its electric bill would probably feed 5,000 boat people.
No, these people are just such pathetic, pathetic hypocrites.
I'm so envious of the picture that was on Drudge.
Like, in the mid-2000s of Al Gore.
He's in his study and he's got these three massive Apple monitors.
Do you remember this?
No, I don't remember.
Oh, it was an incredible setup.
It's like, that is an office.
He's saving the planet.
Hey.
Saving the planet.
But, now let's move along to an interesting story right out of Fresno, California.
It's not straight out of Compton.
It's straight out of Fresno.
Last November, Two men sneaked into a backyard party in a majority Hmong neighborhood and started blazing away at a crowd of nearly 40 family and friends.
Now they hit 16 people, of whom four died.
They were Ku Xiong, Zi Li, Pia Vang, and Calex Tao.
Now, the shooting apparently was in retaliation against the Asian Crips, after a shooting that took place 16 hours earlier, before that backyard attack, and that left a member of The Mongolian Boys Society are now credited with this revenge shooting.
The reason this is back in use is that they have just arrested some suspects.
They apparently believe that the Asian Crips were having a party.
Now, I don't know if the Asian Crips are a Hmong gang.
Apparently, the Mongolian Boys, those are a Hmong gang.
Maybe the Asian Crips are Chinese.
In any case, we're having this inter-ethnic conflict.
But, as it turns out, one of the people who was a person of interest in the backyard shooting was arrested in December on suspicion of mail theft.
Interesting how these miscreants, you know, they get picked up for all kinds of things.
You turn out what they've really been up to in their spare time.
And they located a Glock pistol that was used in the shooting.
Further searches revealed 13 firearms, one of which is determined to be the second weapon used in the backyard shooting.
And Jill, so just Tuesday, a couple of days ago, the Fresno police chief announced that the six suspects were members of this Mongolian Boys Society.
They're all from Fresno.
Billy's young.
Johnny's young.
Brothers, apparently.
Anthony Montez, Paul Guiquet, Paul Fong, and Johnny DeLagalle.
And so I just bring this up because it's just another aspect of the vibrancy of the state of California.
And I'd always thought that there were more Hmong.
I understand it's pronounced Hmong.
The H is silent.
I'd kind of like to talk about Hmong, but apparently that's incorrect.
I always thought that Minnesota was the biggest state for Hmong, but not so.
California.
California's the number one state.
California dreamin'.
California dreamin'.
There are 100,000 of them there.
Then Minnesota.
Then Wisconsin.
And the fourth most popular state for Hmong is North Carolina.
Believe that?
These Tar Heel Hmong.
Who would have thought it?
Well, they'll fit right in in Mayberry.
I bet they do.
So there are a total of 300,000 Hmong in the United States.
Average per capita income.
Given that the American average, the US average per capita income is $25,825, what would you guess the Hmong per capita income is?
This is a tough one.
I'm gonna go with...
I'm going to go with $16,000.
Not too bad.
$12,923.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
$12,923.
As opposed to nearly $26,000.
It's about half.
$13,000.
Is that $6 an hour?
It ain't much.
Now, another interesting statistic on the Hmong.
Okay. Yeah. 12,923. As opposed to nearly 26,000. It's about half. 13,000.
Is that six dollars an hour?
It ain't much. Now another little interesting statistic on the Hmong.
38% are high school dropouts. 38%. You know, the figure for blacks is only 6%.
Roll the yankee.
Keep it coming.
Yes, yes.
And then a little statistic that I picked up along the way for this vibrant community is that the mental illness rate among Hmong is reported to be 33.5 percent.
So one in three.
Yes.
One in three is mentally ill.
Good grief.
I suppose it's adjustment to this viciously white supremacist society.
Or maybe, maybe it's the Asian Crips are picking on them so much that they've just driven them crazy.
In any case, that's our little snapshot of Hmong society here.
After the six members of the Mongolian Boys Society were picked up.
I like that name.
But now, let's see, I think we have a series of sort of two white, two white, two white stories to move into.
Yeah, that sounds like a song the N.W.A.
might have put together back in the 80s, Straight Outta Compton.
So, Washington Post had a story on the 27th where they noted that America's schools are more diverse than ever.
There's a caveat.
But the teachers are still mostly white.
So Laura Meckler and Kate Rabinowitz, they detail that a Washington Post analysis of school district data from 46 states and the District of Columbia finds that only one-tenth of one percent of Latino students attend a school system where the portion of Latino teachers equals or exceeds the percentage of Latino students.
Oh, no wonder things are going so badly for them.
Get this, it's only marginally better for black students.
7% were enrolled in a district where the share of black teachers matches or exceeds that for students.
Among Asians, it was 4.5%.
Meanwhile, those dastardly pale faces, 99.7% of white students attended a district where the faculty was as white as the student body.
Oh my gosh, this is just so hideously white.
Well, as we see the rising tide of color, Whitey still finds a way to retreat to find some semblance of Norman Rockwell America, I guess.
So over time, the ranks of teachers of color have grown.
Get this, dear listener.
In 1988, 87% of public school teachers were white.
By 2016, 80% were.
This is according to federal data.
Nevertheless, this racial gap between teachers and students has widened as more young people of color have enrolled each year.
year. In 1994, that horrible year of 1994, 66%, two-thirds, of public school students
across the United States were white. Now the Washington Post seems to be using trumpet
language here, where they write, by 2016, fewer than half were.
You can almost see the adulation of these writers as they're putting this data together.
The Great Replacement is happening, but it's not happening among the ranks of teachers.
Or not soon enough.
Not soon enough.
Get rid of those white people.
So, at every step on the road from high school student to classroom teacher, people of color fall away.
They're less likely to go to college, less likely to enroll in teacher preparation programs.
Hire them anyway!
Less likely to graduate, and less likely to be certified as teachers, the Education Department reported in 2016.
So, real quick.
Creating a diverse teaching core, according to the Washington Post, is not just about hiring, it's about retention.
Black and Hispanic teachers are less likely to remain in the profession than their peers.
I'll ask you why that might be in a second.
Here's the data.
It might help answer the question for you.
In 2012 and 2013, 85% of white teachers were in the same school as the year before.
For black teachers it was 78% and Hispanic teachers 79%.
However, federal data shows that the majority of teachers of color pedagogues in urban America where the majority of students
are students of color. Now my question to you was why is it why is it that
there's such low retention rates for people like in Hispanic teachers?
I bet it's because they can't discipline the black students.
They're not allowed to discipline them.
That'll drive them out.
Of course, I imagine a lot of them are being hired as corporate executives and research scientists and everybody else.
Or they quickly get into that ladder of administrator, of principal, assistant principal, where there's more money and you don't have to actually deal with that.
You know, I'm sure these are professions in which the people who are in the business of hiring teachers are knocking themselves out, beating the bushes for persons of color.
And somehow, it's never, ever, ever enough.
It's never enough.
The Washington Post was doing this story.
Oh yeah.
They just can't live without at least one article like this a week of talking about how too awfully, miserably, disgustingly white some profession is despite the fact that I'm sure it's trying as hard as it can not to be white.
Bingo.
Oh dear.
Well, you know, there's another profession that is hideously white, and that is romance novels.
The authors, the authors are just hideously white.
You know, the covers are hideously white.
But there are people trying to change that.
And you realize, romance novels, it's big business.
Did you notice that, did you realize that a quarter of all fiction sales in the United States are romance novels?
More than half of all paperbacks sold in the U.S.
are romance novels.
Say that again.
More than what?
A quarter of all fiction sales are romance novels.
More than half of all paperbacks.
in the United States sold are romance novels.
And it's a billion-dollar-a-year business, romance novels.
Since there's money in it, there's something called the Romance Writers of America,
known as RWA to its members and friends.
It's the largest writers' organization in the world with nearly 10,000 members.
Holy cow.
150 chapters.
And it's made up of writers, agents, publishers, and they all paid dues.
So the RWA has about $3 million in the bank.
I wish we did.
Now, there is a romance writer She claims to be Chinese-American, but I looked into it.
She's only half Chinese actually, but you know, she's gone full tilt Chinese as far as identity is concerned.
A former board member and a former chair of its ethics committee.
Now why the Romance Writers of America needs an ethics committee beats me, but they had one and she was running it.
Well, Courtney Milan.
She's known for her frequent Twitter rants about racism.
So this sets the scene.
Well, last summer, she criticized a novel called Somewhere Lies the Moon.
Isn't that a romantic title for romance?
That's very Victorian.
I like that.
Well, Somewhere Lies the Moon.
It was by Katherine Lynn Davis.
Well, Ms.
Milan, she seems to have, despite the fact that she claims to be Chinese, she's certainly, again, like Rashida Tlaib, she has mastered the vernacular.
She called it a fucking racist mess, this novel.
She was furious, the heroine is half Chinese but has blue eyes!
Can't be done, she says.
She can't be half Chinese.
She says, I'm half Chinese.
I've got dark eyes.
Can't be half Chinese and have blue eyes.
And she was furious that the heron was called, referred to as, exotic.
Exotic.
And she also complained that this 19th century Chinese woman, this is about 19th century Chinese women, in the book, including a, one of them is described as having slanted almond eyes.
How horrible.
And one of the characters is quoted as describing Chinese as, quote, demure and quiet as our mothers have trained us to be.
The horror!
Yes, well, listen to this.
Ms.
Milan wrote on Twitter, quote, the notion of the submissive Chinese woman is a racist stereotype which fuels higher rates of violence against women.
All by itself.
I guess, you know, black women and white women and all women in the world suffer from this racist stereotype.
Submissive.
Anyway, then she goes on to write, fuck this piece of shit.
Don't write books about how much a culture, not your own, sucks.
Just don't.
You're not going to get it right and you're going to sound like a fucking racist.
So this is all sort of public ranting and tweeting.
And there's nothing in particular about saying that this culture wasn't any good.
She's just sort of describing what Ms.
Davis, the author, says was historically accurate.
She said, based on years of research in the 19th century Chinese.
And she filed an ethics complaint with the Romance Writers of America saying that Ms.
Millon's comments were cyberbullying.
And caused the writer of Somewhere Lies the Moon to lose a contract.
Well, much to my surprise, the association voted sanctions against the accuser, the half Chinese Miss Milan, and they banned her from any position of responsibility within the RWA.
Wow!
Yes!
Well, you can imagine what happened next.
I can regrettably imagine, but wow.
You can imagine.
The sky fell.
The sky fell.
Everybody piled on.
And the sanctions have, of course, lasted maybe a day and a half.
They've been lifted.
They've been lifted, and now there are accusations that ethics complaints go unheard when they're made by non-white writers.
That there's favoritism at the R.W.A.
staff and the board members towards white and straight writers.
Not enough lesbian romance novels.
This is a big criticism these days.
And so, of course, you know, the R.W.A.
had reversed itself and eight board members resigned.
So, the Romance Writers of America is in a state of complete chaos and on Monday of this week it hired a law firm to conduct an audit process of these events to provide a clear report of the facts.
So we're going through this agonizing reappraisal because this obviously charming and delightful half-Asian writer got her knickers in the twist.
But, you know, It's so interesting to me.
Apparently, romance novels have to be sociology.
They can't simply be something that people want to read.
And the idea of describing Asians as demure, or exotic, or almond-eyed... Antiquated.
It's gotta go.
Even if it was correct, no matter how correct it might be, this stuff has just absolutely got to go.
They can't simply write what sells.
The other thing about it is, the utterly contemptuous way that this critic wrote about a white woman, Calling her this fucking racist shit, all this kind of thing.
You couldn't get away writing that way about anybody else.
Only white people are legitimate targets for that.
And so, although I'm somewhat gratified that somebody came to their defense and decided that she's out of line, of course the sky fell and they had to reinstate all of her privileges.
Well, hatred of white people is a unifying fabric that Holds together this multicultural experiment.
I think that's the best way.
This tapestry has been woven by the elite.
And let's be frank, a lot of those are white people who helped weave this fabric together.
And we're forced to live and endure under these conditions where it's okay to say, hey, you know what?
It's a great thing that Public schools in 1994, they were 66% white, but you know what?
It's better now that they're 46% white.
Of course, of course.
From two-thirds to under half in the span of what, 20, 22 years?
But there's still too many white teachers.
How dare white people want to be pedagogues and go out there and teach.
You know, it's so funny on the one hand, you get these articles, hand-wringing articles about how it takes so much sacrifice to be a teacher, and they're underpaid, and they're devoted public servants.
But then, too many of them are white.
Okay, make up your mind.
Nice little Paul Harvey rest of the story there.
That was good.
That was good.
Well, okay, now what else is too white?
Well, I'll tell you what else is too white.
That would be the campus.
of the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
We talk about Madison a lot here.
We talk about how that's a city that has about a 7% black population and yet almost all the homicides, almost all the non-fatal shootings, you can look up the stats.
They're available on amrin.com.
Just look at the Paul Kersey archive.
You can see the article.
But in this case, this is from the New York Times.
This article, in a homecoming video meant to unite campus, almost everyone was white.
Oh gosh.
So this also has three authors that had to go and try and do investigations into what was happening on this campus.
Julie Bozeman, Emily Shetler, and Natalie Yahir.
The video was just two minutes long, a sunny montage of life at the University of Wisconsin's flagship campus in Madison.
Hundreds of young men and women cheering in a football game, dancing in unison, they were riding bicycles in a sleek line.
Throw in the W for the camera.
Home is where we grow together, a voiceover said.
It's where the hills are.
It's eating our favorite foods.
It's where we can all harmonize as one.
Home is Wisconsin cheese curds.
It's welcoming everyone into our home.
That's what the montage, the voiceover did.
Well, days before Homecoming Week, the Student Homecoming Committee, tasked with producing the video, posted it online.
The outrage was almost, as you can imagine, in our woke times, instantaneous.
Instant and deafening.
The video, virtually every student was white.
This is a story the New York Times editorializes us is about a video that galvanized and divided a university played by a history of racist incidents, as told by the people who saw it happen.
Blacks in particular say the homecoming video crystallized a daily fact of life that they feel they are not welcomed nor wanted at the University of Wisconsin, where there are slightly fewer African Americans per capita than in the state, which is mostly white.
How dare the state of Wisconsin.
Remember that headline we saw a few, maybe it was last year, New Hampshire's 94% white, we've got to do something about it, or they're trying to do something about it.
Well, Wisconsin's too white.
There are plenty of people in Chicago on the south side that, gosh, they need to be relocated to Milwaukee and to Madison immediately.
Just real quick.
This fall, more than 30,000 undergraduates began the school year at the University of Wisconsin.
Fewer than 1,000 of them are African-American.
So to students of color, the Homecoming video was a glimpse of what they've experienced every day as they walked through campus.
The video prompted a burst of student activism, an attempt by university officials to educate about diversity, and a reckoning, a reckoning, a reckoning over who feels at home at the University of Wisconsin.
And now this was a two minute video?
Yeah, yeah.
So a video would boost the promotional aspect of it.
All the students decided.
So they created a short visual ode to school spirit.
The comedian listed Alpha Kappa Alpha, which is a historically black sorority.
And the film was finished, posted on Facebook.
Basically, the rest of the story talks about how they interview some students of color.
Too little, too late, of course.
Yeah, again, it's saying, you know, wait a second, what's going on here?
Apparently, this has just been a crisis, though, in the state of Wisconsin.
Yeah.
Are they going to fire the university president or something?
Well, I'm sure they're going to force him to resign like they did at the University of Missouri during the Poop Swastika episode, but let me just read this last part to you.
So campus newspapers covered the story and so did the Wisconsin State Journal in which headlines declared, quote, UW Madison apologizes for now deleted homecoming video of nearly all white student body, end quote.
That's a heck of a headline.
That's some passive language there.
So, let's just get rid of all these white students.
But then, that's not all that's too white.
Well, that's not all that's too... That's not all.
I mean, we are just too, too, too white start to finish.
No!
You know, in 2020... Marijuana is too white.
Marijuana is too white.
Well, yeah, exactly.
Now, aren't you going to tell us about her?
I am!
I'm going to tell you about Mary Lori Lightfoot, who said in earlier December... And I remember who she is.
We all know who she is.
She is the LGBT black mayor of Chicago.
That's right.
Is she L, B, G, T, Q, all?
None?
Which?
She's a lesbian.
Just a little bit L. She's a lesbian.
So, in Illinois now, it is legal to buy marijuana.
Well, Mayor Lori Lightfoot In mid-December, she said she's very serious about Citi growing its own recreational marijuana to give minorities a chance to learn the business and share the wealth.
Well, they're going to grow it right in the city limits?
Yeah, they want to do that.
You mean they're going to rip up all those healthy vegetable patches that inner-city people have planted so they can get balanced diets?
This is no good!
From a food desert to a bountiful marijuana harvest.
Well, I guess that's Lori Lightfoot.
The Democratic governor of Illinois has praised this plan.
Lightfoot said up to $15 million generated by tax increment financing could be used as seed money for the plan to open a She said the idea is aimed at overcoming the biggest impediment to minority ownership.
That's access to capital.
scheme, the more you actually think about it. Either with a modest cash investment or
with sweat equity. I like that. Seed money. Very good. She said the idea is aimed at
overcoming the biggest impediment to minority ownership.
That's access to capital. She said, quote this, this is a very very
expensive business to get The basics to be a cultivator requires about a $13 to $15 million investment.
There are not a lot of people that have that type of capital, particularly in a market that a lot of banks and traditional lenders won't touch.
I guess she's once again talking about some form of redlining or discrimination by banks when it comes to individuals who are trying to get a loan and she's implying, well, banks are discriminated against people of color, blacks, Hispanics.
Well, it's just saying there that they don't want to lend to the marijuana industry.
Well, again, it's legal in Illinois.
I mean, they're going to get a lot of taxes.
It's going to be a way to shore up some budgets that are in the red there in the state.
Well, got to fill the hole when people don't pay their library fines.
Yeah, so the Share the Wealth Neighborhood Opportunity Fund created by Mayor Rahm Emanuel uses funds generated by developers in order to build bigger and taller buildings in a broader downtown area.
What they're trying to do with this is contribute to a fund that's then used to rebuild long-ignored neighborhoods on Chicago's south and west sides.
They want to replicate that.
Lori Lightfoot wants to replicate that type of fund to help exclusively people of color.
Now, remind, let me remind the listener who might not recall the demographics of Chicago.
It is roughly a third white, a third black, and a third Hispanic.
It's fascinating.
Now the wealth is largely concentrated in white hands.
Chicago is one of the most segregated cities in the country and there are a lot of articles out there
on leftist publications like the Brookings Institute.
They've published, hey, Chicago is basically Detroit.
You just still got a lot of white people left who have all the capital, who have all the wealth.
Outside of those neighborhoods is Detroit.
And that's the problem.
That's the crisis.
And that's kind of America's future.
You know, I wonder if Lori Lightfoot's plan, when it begins to function, is going to set the Hispanics and the Blacks at each other's throats.
Lori Lightfoot is clearly trying to make sure that Blacks cash in.
But if the city is one-third Hispanic, one-third Black, I bet Hispanics have got their hands out too.
Well, we'll see what comes of that.
Well, I mentioned that cannabis sales are now legal in Illinois.
I've got a receipt here that was posted on Twitter.
It's fascinating.
Somebody spent $123 on purchasing a number.
I don't know anything about cannabis, so I'm not even sure what they're purchasing here, but there are so many taxes in Illinois.
Let me just read this.
A cannabis tax, $1.19 on the purchase of $123.
Then there's an Illinois recreational tax if it's THC infused of Of 25%, which is $6.50.
And then there's another Illinois recreational tax infused.
Again, I don't know what that means in terms of the lexicon of marijuana, but that's an additional $10.80.
A total tax of $18.85 on a marijuana purchase.
a total tax of $18.85 on a marijuana purchase.
Hmm.
Of $123.
Well, that doesn't surprise me all that much.
The excise tax on alcohol is pretty high, too, if you ever look at liquor licenses.
Oh, it is?
Yeah, yeah.
But, okay, this is a revenue source, probably better to enrich.
Well, you know, tell me this.
Is it better to enrich the administration of Lori Lightfoot or the Sinaloa cartel?
There's a puzzler for you, huh?
Exactly.
Anyway, moving on to the United Kingdom.
The North Bristol National Health Service Trust, which runs part of the National Health Service in part of Britain, announced that hospital patients who use offensive, racist or sexist language will stop getting medical care as soon as it's safe to end their treatment.
They have great discretion, as it turns out, to determine when it is safe to stop treatment.
So what that means is patients could be left with chronic pain or denied certain procedures that could improve their health but are not necessary to make them, quote, safe.
Yeah, if they are, to repeat, racist or sexist.
Now, patients accused of racism or sexism could also find themselves at the bottom Of the National Health Service's infamous waiting lists.
If you need a procedure done, you know, you got to wait your turn.
And you could be sorted to the bottom of the pack, bottom of the deck, if you use the wrong language.
And so they could be, they could be stuck there waiting and waiting and waiting until it's really a matter of life and death.
And the surgery or whatever it is, is increasingly risky.
Now according to the trust, this change is motivated by an allegedly growing number of incidents of racism.
They didn't cite any.
They didn't say who the racism from.
But the people reporting this pointed out that there was a highly publicized case in 2017.
This was a lady patient of the National Health Service.
She requested a female nurse.
to carry out a cervical smear.
I certainly understand that that would be her preference.
And the hospital sent a person with an obviously male appearance, lots of tattoos, facial stubble, and the patient pointed out what she thought to be a mistake.
The nurse replied, my gender is not male.
I'm a transsexual.
Well, as it turned out, the lady did without her cervical smear.
And later, she actually got an apology.
But, the question now becomes, would this behavior have been deemed sexist and offensive had she been at the Bristol Trust under the new policy?
You just never know, do you?
Now, an interesting example, the same Bristol Area Foundation Trust ordered that the British flag be removed from the bulletproof vests of security guards because the British flag was deemed to be offensive.
The British flag might have offended somebody.
So you can imagine just what sort of punishment they would dole out to people who they thought deserved to just linger on until they were nearly died and then to be removed from any kind of medical service even if they're in tense pain as long as they're quote safe.
Now it makes you wonder In the United States, do you think a doctor could refuse to treat a so-called racist?
I mean, that would be a violation of the Hippocratic Oath, but I bet you any amount of money, if, say, somebody decided to deny David Duke some sort of medical services, I bet he'd get a lot of support.
I bet he'd get an awful lot of support.
Yes.
I mean, after all, you can make a Christian bake a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage, but can you make a doctor treat a white supremacist?
I mean, that's a real baffler.
That'll be a future Supreme Court test, I bet you.
I'm afraid you are... I mean, think about this.
In 2010, obviously.
Think about all that has happened over the past decade.
All the things that people in both parties opposed.
Talk about gay marriage.
Think about now in 2020 where we're talking about how people who are opposed to hormone blockers or people who are opposed to drag queen story hours, they're being attacked as pariahs.
So what you're talking about, regrettably, I don't think... It's not out of the question.
It's not out of the question at all.
I could see it starting in a state like Illinois, New York, or California.
That would be where that first court case actually shows up.
You know, there's just about any state other than, you know, maybe Maine or Wyoming where you could start.
You could imagine that happening.
You could easily imagine it happening.
Anyway, I know it's going to be a very exciting year.
