Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest episode of Renaissance Radio.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and today is August 5th, 2020, and as usual, the passing scene has been a remarkable one.
I'm pleased to announce that with me today is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey, it's great to have you back.
Mr. Kersey.
It was great to finally talk once again to someone who has been a proponent and promulgating sanity for three, going on four decades.
So, I guess this is the fifth decade of your crusade.
So, let's keep it going.
No, no, not the fifth decade.
We're just sneaking into the fourth decade.
So, let's get ahead of ourselves.
But yes, I've been at it for some time.
I suppose I have the benefit of a certain amount of experience in this, but some people say that if you're possessed in things, that's not necessarily a sign of much good sense.
But I believe this is my duty and I'm doing what I think I need to do.
But, as I say, the passing scene continues to be fascinating, not always encouraging, but let us start with a good news story.
You're the sportsman, but I will take this story myself, and it has to do with hockey as being a far superior sport from a political point of view compared to baseball.
And I'm sure when football and basketball get going, they'll be just as miserable.
But the very first game in professional hockey after the start-up was between the York Rangers and the Islanders, and both teams stood for the national anthem.
Every one of them.
Every last one of them.
None of this taking a knee business.
And as their social justice statement, the teams decided to not stand in separate rows, but to intermix on the ice during the anthem.
Even Eric Trump took to Twitter to thank the teams for standing.
Now, I'm glad that they did, but it is a sad day when doing the obvious makes you a hero and makes you worthy of congratulations.
But in any case, again, I'm very glad to say that they are showing some sense and let us hope that they do not bow to all the absurd pressure that has turned all the other professional team sports into wimps.
One thing I have noticed is that since baseball has started back, Major League Baseball, as we talked about last week, that Robert Hampton article about baseball taking a knee to Black Lives Matter.
Ratings have been very poor for basketball, and for basketball since it's come back.
So I think people are turning, are turned off by what's happening.
And it is so strange to juxtapose the reaction when Kaepernick started taking a knee, what was it, back in 2015?
Maybe even 2014, I don't remember the exact date.
But now all sports, now virtually all the major sports are taking a knee.
We're not going to talk about it at length, but it's important to point out that the Pac-12, That's an NCAA group.
They've had black players who basically made all these demands that they won't play unless X, Y, and Z happen in the form of social justice warriorism.
So this is only going to get crazier as the NFL season starts in a couple weeks and when college football kicks off here in about a month.
Well, as I've said many times, whenever these players make demands of one sort or another, it seems to me to kick them off the team.
Remember, they were striking at what, Kansas State University?
The football team says, hey, we're not going to practice, we're not going to play until you expel a guy we don't like.
For heaven's sake, it's their job to play.
If they don't play, kick them off.
And if they're there on a sports scholarship, jerk the scholarship.
This is just outrageous to me.
But anyway, let us hope that a certain amount of sanity will return.
But you know, once you start doing this kind of thing, once people are on their knees, then when they stand up, that will be considered a huge and unforgivable insult to blacks.
It's very hard to go backwards on this stuff, but I sure hope some people have the brains And the intestinal fortitude to do so, but we'll see.
Another bit of absurdity, this time from the musical world, classical music.
At least this guy is getting a certain amount of disdain and ridicule from people who understand classical music, but a fellow named Philip Ewell.
He is black and he's an associate professor of music theory at City University of New York.
And he wrote an essay about all of the racist terms that are used in classical music.
One of which is masterwork.
Masterwork.
Now, what's wrong with masterwork?
Well, according to Philip Buell, master and its derivatives such as masterwork and masterpiece carry both racist, master and slave, and sexist, master and mistress connotations.
In music theory, masterwork is generally applied to compositions by white males, says he.
So, we have to expunge that from our vocabularies.
He goes on to say that Beethoven is a perfect example of a guy who's just been propped up by pure whiteness and pure maleness for 200 years.
And we've been told by whiteness and maleness that his greatness has nothing to do with whiteness and maleness.
It's all race-neutral and gender-neutral.
Thus, music theory's white-male frame obfuscates race and gender as one of its main goals.
In other words, The whole idea of classical music is to pretend that race and sex have nothing to do with how people are treated, and its whole idea is to completely conceal all that while propping up these mediocrities just because they're white and just because they're men.
He says, yeah, Beethoven was an above-average composer, but the only reason he's considered a genius is because he's a white man.
It's all a conspiracy.
Now, the obvious question is, okay, where are these people of color?
Where are these genius ladies whose compositions we should all be listening to instead of Mozart and Beethoven and Bach and Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff?
Well, Philip Ewell does not tell us that.
I suppose it's all because they were strangled in their cribs because they were not white and they're not male.
And all of these wonderful compositions never saw the light of day.
But there is, now we're being learned.
Now we're being schooled by this fellow.
Educated.
Yes, schooled.
On the subject of masterwork, by the way, it is something of an intimidating term.
I remember when I was, I was pretty serious a student of the clarinet at one time, but when I was just getting started taking lessons, I went into a music store.
And I bought this album.
It's a sheet music.
It's called an album, a combination of sheet music for clarinet and for piano accompaniment.
And the title of this album is called Masterworks for Clarinet and Piano.
And I took it up to the cash register, and I half expected the guy to point to the title and say, You can't buy that.
That says Masterworks on it.
But he didn't do a thing.
You know, he just sold it to me as if I knew how to play that stuff.
So yes, Masterworks.
It was intimidating to me, but not because I'm the wrong sex, the wrong race.
But I thought, am I really ready for Masterworks?
On that same topic real quick, I do want to point out there was a Market Watch story that I read where real estate agents, there's a big reckoning going on over the term Master Bedroom.
In the aftermath of this Black Lives Matter tsunami that's capsized whatever was left of the historic American nation, we're seeing a growing number of real estate professionals dropping the term Master Bedroom, Master Bath, any sort of language that can be used to construe I guess that slave-owner relationship.
Ryan Reynolds, the actor, he actually just apologized because he and his wife, the lovely Blake Lively...
They had their wedding at a plantation, so obviously they have to apologize for having their wedding at a plantation.
So, that's where we are now.
That's where we are.
Idiocy abounds.
It's almost like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it?
You get bored pointing out just what nuts people are.
But, as I understand it, Oprah Winfrey will cure us of all of this master-slave complex, all of our white wickedness.
Hasn't she got all the answers for us?
Well, Cheryl, the answer is five or six years ago when she said that when old white people die, there's hope for the country.
If you recall that strange quote that she said.
I'd say she was ahead of her time.
She was the Pied Piper of this white fragility and white silence is violence, right?
Well, she's come out and she basically is hosting white guilt sessions on her On her network.
She's got a whole network, Corporate America sponsors her, funds her lavishly, and the story that I'm reading has the headline, quote, Oprah, whiteness gives you an advantage no matter what.
So the billionaire media mogul, Oprah Winfrey, declared in an episode of her eponymous series, The Oprah Conversation, that whiteness, white privilege, afford unspecified benefits to white people, and the caste system, the caste system of America, Oh boy.
No, it sounds like we're the untouchables these days.
We are at the bottom.
We're below the untouchables.
The untouchables actually, you know, they were the right hue.
So they definitely were not Not on our level.
Untouchables are far higher than whitey is in America.
So, this Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man Part 1 featured former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Achoo, and it drew its name from Achoo's YouTube series of the same name, where Oprah invited several white people to discuss racism, white privilege, and whiteness.
I guess those are all synonyms at this point.
She praised her white guests for accusing themselves For accusing themselves of being racist.
This is something out of the Soviet Union here, Mr. Taylor, and dear listener, that we're having this type of ethnomasochism filmed for posterity.
I guess so they can, so maybe if they have black or brown ancestors, they can say, at least my uncle, my aunt, my granddaddy, my grandmommy, at least they knew to atone for the original sin of whiteness.
Mmm, well yes, it's heartwarming.
But you know, what I always wonder is, if whiteness gives you such incredible advantages, and poor Oprah, she had the double whammy.
She was a female, and she was black, so she must have been miserably, ruthlessly held back.
What might she have accomplished Had she been a white man?
I mean, she's a billionaire.
She's one of the thousand richest people in the world.
Would she be an intergalactic superhero by now if she were a white man?
I mean, really, you wonder.
If it's such a terrible disadvantage being who she is, what might she have achieved?
Maybe get the Nobel Peace Prize?
No?
Have invented a cure for cancer?
Just no telling, is there?
Well, the sky's the limit for her if whiteness had actually been something she had been bestowed with.
You're right.
I mean, I think I read where she, I was listening to a Tony Robbins clip, and he was talking about her upbringing, and I think she was raped.
She had a miscarriage.
She had all these horrible things happen to her in her life, and yet she somehow overcame this horrible, horrible childhood, this horrible teenage adolescence, and like you said, has basically become one of the most recognizable individuals on the planet.
And that's a good point.
What if she actually was She had the superpower of whiteness.
I mean, my gosh, that's a tough question.
Well, here's what she said.
She said, quote, there are white people who are not as powerful as the system of white people, the caste system that's been put in place, but they still, no matter where they are on the rung or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness.
Whites have a leg up.
You still have your whiteness.
That's what the term white privilege is.
It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage no matter what.
Now, you know, she calls this, it's the fundamental issue, declared Oprah, of racial assumptions.
Now, you have to ask yourself, we know, we always hear constantly when people say, oh, well, let's talk about welfare, and you have to look at the percentage of blacks that are on welfare versus the percentage of whites.
We know more white people are on welfare than blacks in the United States, Mr. Taylor.
True.
Obviously, less a percentage of white people are on welfare than the percentage of blacks that are on welfare.
But there are a lot of whites who have it very hard.
Think about what's going on with the coronavirus.
You know, last time I checked, 45 million people were out of work.
I'd imagine that a lot of white people are out of work right now.
There's their privilege.
Every one of them benefiting from white privilege.
And, you know, every one of them, in other words, would be far worse off if there were no non-whites in the country.
Imagine an all-white country.
Nobody would benefit from white privilege.
So, we're vastly better off with people like Oprah Winfrey bossing us around telling us how lucky we are.
Well, here's a couple quotes from some people who were brought up on stage for these sessions.
I can't remember the Soviet term that was used for when you're shamed publicly and you basically admit all your sins.
It was really more of a communist Chinese thing.
They called them struggle sessions.
That's it.
Struggle sessions.
Yeah, I've read about that in that fantastic book, The Black Book of Communism.
I highly recommend that to all of our listeners out there across the country and around the globe.
Terrifying book, because we know that Black Lives Matter has its origins in Bolshevism, latter-day Bolsheviks.
So, she invited this guy, Seth.
He's a self-described Jewish man from Manhattan.
He said this to Oprah, or Oprah asked him of this.
You become woke during this period and realize in that awakening that you are racist, right?
Asked Oprah.
I just want to know how that happened.
He replied, this is Seth speaking, I was born in the 70s.
I was born and raised in Manhattan.
I've always considered myself to be liberal.
Now I'm not only a friend of people of color, but also an advocate for them.
But this movement over the last month has been powerful.
He then went on to describe himself as racist, who is aspiring to become an anti-racist.
He ends up by saying this, quote, I realized that I couldn't be not racist.
I realized that I either was a racist or an anti-racist, and I wasn't.
I'm not an anti-racist.
Mr. Taylor, this is beyond a struggle session.
This is basically creating through this new anti-white industry that is propped up by corporate America, by all of the big tech companies.
It's basically forming an army.
Of individuals now who have allowed this anti-white, this white privilege mindset.
It's weaponized them.
It's terrifying.
You know, it's a struggle session is really a misnomer.
There's no struggling going on.
It's a capitulation session.
Struggle suggests that there's some sort of opposition.
This guy has given up.
He's admitted defeat right from the start.
And that's the great thing about this new religion of white racism.
We are all damned no matter what we do.
He says, I'm trying, I can be an anti-racist, but I can't help being a racist.
So we can never be saved.
It's original sin.
It is absolutely, from the fact that we were born the wrong color, we can never be saved.
But that's white privilege for you.
Well, there's two more quotes I want to read because they really showcase... Remember the tremendous appeal and power that Oprah has in changing people's perception of minds.
Lisa is a Minnesotan turned Californian.
She attributed biases to all white people, warning of, quote, unconscious biases that white people, that we as white people have, end quote.
The black NFL, ex-NFL player, this is the one that I'm really shocked by.
Emmanuel Achoo said whites living as, quote, white, end quote, life, become part of the problem.
Here's what he said.
Here's what I told my friends with their white children.
I said, y'all live in a white cul-de-sac, in a white neighborhood, in a white city, in a white state.
If you are not careful, your children will live their whole life white, and at the ages of 26, 27, they'll end up being part of the problem because you just let them and allowed them to live in a completely white, sheltered, and culture-less life.
Obviously, you know, if you live in a cul-de-sac, you have barbecues, you listen to some Beethoven in your home, maybe Maybe you're not the biggest Beethoven fan, but you pop on, maybe you like movie scores, listen to some James Horner, some Danny Elfman.
If you just want to live in an area where you're going to actually see some equity in your home, and it happens to be that a lot of your neighbors are white, rich, and good-looking, as I think you said one time on Phil Donahue, that is perpetuating whiteness, and that is a sin.
Well, that is the whole theory.
White silence is violence.
Unless we are constantly, every waking moment, trying to dismantle white supremacy, we are part of the problem.
Mr. Kersey, you and I are big parts of the problem, it seems.
Well, we are the problem and it's got to be eradicated.
Well, you know, it's interesting to me that apparently none of the guests that you mentioned was a Southerner because when the groveling sweepstakes get going, Ordinarily, it's Southerners who cannot be beat because they think they've got so much to apologize for.
And we saw some of this on display at Columbia Theological Seminary.
That's in Decatur, Georgia.
It was founded in 1828 by Presbyterian pastors.
That's sort of my Christian heritage is Presbyterian.
I think it's come a long, long way maybe from 1828 when it was Presbyterian, but Now that it is in Decatur, which started off in Columbia, South Carolina, Dori Cox, I'm sorry, Cori Cox, a Columbia spokeswoman, explained that as a Southern institution, white supremacy is part of our DNA.
And she reported they'd had a year-long discussion how to address the harm done to black communities.
And these steps include offering full tuition and fees for all black students who are admitted to master's level degree programs.
It doesn't make any difference how wealthy they are, but they will get in for free.
They're also going to name a residence hall after Marsha Y. Riggs, The first black professor at the Divinity School.
And there'll be new policies to foster partnerships and support for others working to address police brutality and racism.
Now, there's a fellow by the name of Brendan T. Maxwell, Reverend Brendan.
He is a Special Advisor to the President for Equity, Diversion, and Inclusion at Columbia Theological Seminary.
And he said, we felt that police brutality was one kind of vestige from the enslavement of black people.
And he also went on to explain that at Columbia, the number of incoming students in the master's level program, and they usually get 60 to 70 people, Last year, more than 40% of such students were Black.
Now, the Black population, of course, is only 13%, so it looks like the Special Advisor to the President for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is doing one heck of a bang-up job if 40% of those coming in are Black, and they're going to get a full free ride.
Furthermore, and once again, Brandon T. Maxwell, Special Advisor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, must be doing a great job because no fewer than one quarter of the school's instructors and administrators are black.
Wow, but they're still, they're still fighting this white supremacy that's part of their DNA.
They haven't done nearly enough, so they're bending over backward, backward, backward until they bust in two to make up the sins of the past.
You know, I say this guy's done such a good job.
He deserves a raise.
I don't know how much he's getting.
He's probably one of the best paid guys on campus, but he certainly deserves a raise.
But there you go.
When Southerners get into the groveling business, boy, nobody can touch them.
No comment, because that's regrettably the truth.
It's regrettably the truth.
It's like just, you know, these descendants of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson who, as the statues to their ancestors come down, they can't, they are just rushing to be interviewed by radio, television, newspapers to say how great they feel now that their racist forebears are being pulled to the ground as they deserve.
If I could bring up one quick point while I was on vacay, I think I read where one of Thomas Jefferson's descendants was also saying that his monument in Washington, D.C.
should be pulled down?
Yes, that's right.
And you know who he wants in his ancestor's place?
Frederick Douglass.
Nope.
Almost.
Almost is good.
That was pretty good.
Harriet Tubman.
He says they don't have to tear down the memorial itself.
You know, the building itself.
They can leave that.
It's just been defiled and polluted and poisoned by this wicked racist ancestor of his.
And what it really needs is an 18-foot tall statue of Harriet Tubman.
Because she is a true mother of the country, whereas this phony father, He's no good.
He's got to go, but get a real mother of the country, Harriet.
So, there you go.
Now, just one slight tidbit here.
This is really not a big item, but it tickled me.
This was an article in National Review.
And it pointed out, it showed us a somewhat lighter light on the defund the police movement.
Now, Chicago, of course, was turned upside down by protesters against police violence and activists calling for the dissolution of the police department.
But Mayor Lori Lightfoot, you're in my, well, one of our favorite mayors.
She criticized the proposal.
Now, do you know why she thinks the police shouldn't be defunded?
It's not because they maintain the peace and they keep people safe.
It's because, as she said, it's one of the few tools that the city has to create middle-class jobs and incomes from black and brown folks.
Yes.
There you go.
There you go.
And, you know, we had a really great feature article at American Renaissance written by a police officer.
And he says he's been in the business for 30 years and practically every Black police officer he's ever worked with wants to do as little work as possible.
They all want to be assigned to guard public buildings, or they all want to be assigned to be the school officers.
They're never on call.
They never face any danger.
Or, you know, go out and guard the airport.
That's a really plumb job for black.
And they never apply to be detectives.
So she's right.
It is one of the few tools the city has to create middle class jobs for black and brown people.
You know, I remember a really great Pat Buchanan column back when the government was going to shut down.
I think when the Tea Party took over, Obama was president and it pointed out that, Obama, I'm sorry, Buchanan pointed out that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were on the verge of maybe being cut and everyone was howling because over 50% of the workforces of both those government-backed entities are non-white.
How could we do this?
I mean it goes back to that idea I brought up last week of UAB dropping their football program back in 2017 and then there were no black males on campus so they had to bring it back.
Anything that negatively impacts blacks whether it's these government jobs like you're pointing out that have to be cut if they're going to disproportionately impact it has to remain in place no matter how ineffective they are.
It doesn't matter if they're effective in employing Employing blacks and people of color.
So long as it transfers money from your pocket into the pockets of people whose lives matter.
That's right.
Black run America for you.
Yes.
Now a little bit more black baloney here for you.
This was from a New York Times article.
The title was, I don't need love texts from my white friends.
I need them to fight anti-blackness.
This is an article, as I say in the Times, by a fellow named Chad Sanders.
And let me read a few passages from it.
My book is coming out in a few months, and I don't know if I'm going to be alive to see it, because I'm a black man.
As a black man, what I actually feel constantly is the fear of death.
The fear that when I go for my morning stroll through Central Park or to 7-Eleven for an Arizona iced tea, I won't make it back home.
I fear I won't get to celebrate my parents' 40th anniversary.
I won't get to add money to my nephew's brokerage account on his third birthday.
I won't get to take my partner out dancing in her favorite Bed-Stuy bars.
But the fear doesn't arrive only in the wake of uniquely viral killings of black people such as George Floyd, Beyond Taylor, and Trayvon Martin.
It's a resting hum under every moment of my life.
He's constantly afraid he's going to be killed.
Where does this baloney, this nonsense possibly come from?
And then he says, Many white people I know are spilling over with guilt and overzealous attempts to offer sympathy.
I have been avoiding them.
But brazen as ever, white people who have my phone number are finding a way to drain my time and energy.
Every few days, every few days, I get a bunch of texts like this one from last week.
Hi friend!
Just wanted to reach out and let you know I love you and so deeply appreciate you and my life and your stories in the world and I'm so sorry this country is deeply broken and sick and racist.
I'm sorry, I think.
Meanwhile, I'm sleeping in my snuggie of white privilege.
I love you and I'm here to fight and be useful in any way I can be.
Heart emojis.
Don't feel you have to reply.
He says, many of my black friends have told me that they too are drowning in these one-way messages drenched with white guilt.
Good grief.
I mean, here's a guy, here's a guy, I mean, obviously, his chances of being shot are higher than that of a white man, and because he's black, but only because black people are more likely to shoot him.
This stuff is so absurdly idiotic.
In fact, were you aware, some of our well-informed listeners probably are, There is a larger percentage of white people who die of murder are shot by the police than the percentage of black people who are shot by the police who die of murder.
In other words, I forgot what the percentages are.
It's something like 4%, maybe 2% for blacks, 98% of them shot by other people, mostly blacks, maybe 4% for white because white people are not killing each other.
So they are more likely than blacks, as a percentage of the population, to be shot by the police.
But this guy thinks that when he's going out to the 7-Eleven for his Arizona iced tea, nice hip drink, he's afraid he's not going to come home.
No.
Well, you know, someone who did come home alive, Mr. Taylor, was a young activist in Chicago, a guy named Caleb Reed.
He became pretty famous in June in Chicago because he's a 17-year-old student, black student at Mather High School.
He explained why it had become his cause, you know, Black Lives Matter, police brutality, doing everything he can to fight the white supremacist, white privilege system.
He was shot and killed this past weekend by a person of color in Chicago.
Well, you know, I guess this guy's right after all.
He's just afraid that he's going to come home shot.
So watch out, folks.
Now, this is the New York Times.
There was no comment section.
I thought that was very interesting.
Every so often I think New York Times will publish some piece of just fantastic idiocy and some wiser head prevails.
And they say, you know, I don't think we want to hear from our readers about that.
Anyway, I think you had another story for us, and this was about the Navy SEALs.
Yeah, I do have another story.
It's funny though, real quick about the comment section.
We're seeing almost all comment sections at the corporate media disappear before our eyes because you don't want to have any conversations going on at all.
I think that's fascinating what you said to the New York Times because basically their print edition and their digital edition is just a continuous struggle session just like Oprah's show was this past that we just mentioned earlier.
So here's the Navy SEAL situation.
The Navy SEALs just cut ties with the National Navy SEAL Museum.
It's a non-profit organization.
It's not overseen by the military.
The commander of the Navy SEALs said the unit will suspend its support because of a video that surfaced online of dogs attacking a man wearing a Colin Kaepernick No.
7 San Francisco 49ers jersey during a demonstration.
Can't have that.
Colin Kaepernick, he's a saint on the same level as our fentanyl imbibing friend George Floyd at this point.
Well wait, the museum had put up this video somehow?
This video surfaced online of dogs attacking a man wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey.
So here's what we got from Rear Admiral Colin Greene, who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command.
He said this, quote, Each and every one of us serves to protect our fellow Americans, all Americans.
Even the perception that our commitment to serving the men and women of this nation is applied unevenly is destructive.
We will revisit our relationship with the museum when I am convinced that they have made the necessary changes to ensure this type of behavior does not happen again.
He would go on to say this, while the museum is an independent nonprofit organization
and the participants were contracted employees from outside the Department of Defense,
in many ways these facts are irrelevant.
We have been inextricably linked to this organization that represents our history.
We may not have contributed to the misperception in this case,
but we suffer from it, and we will not allow it to continue.
Hmm, that'll learn him.
Okay. Um...
Well, yes.
It's just an insane situation.
I mean, again, the video shows men with guns wearing camouflage tack gear.
They ordered four dogs to attack a man wearing protective equipment and Colin Kaepernick's, as stated, red and white San Francisco 49ers jersey.
Again, I'm not sure how much longer the 49ers can have that nickname since the 49ers were primarily white men who colonized Northern California.
Probably just as bad as Redskins and about five years Washington.
But the museum, this privately run museum, somehow they'd sponsored this video?
Was that the problem?
That was their great and grievous sin?
That's the great grievance, exactly.
It reminds me of the Air Force incident from a few years ago where the black student said that he Oh gosh, was it at the feeder school where he claimed someone wrote something on his wall and the guy who ran the Air Force Academy made a big deal about it and it turned out to be a hoax and yet he still said we need to, we still don't, it doesn't matter if it was a hoax or not, we still need to discuss systemic racism, implicit bias, white privilege, and I think the guy
Maybe he was a lieutenant colonel, might have been a brigadier general.
I think he ended up winning an award from the ADL or one of these organizations.
Yes, before this was known to be a hoax.
And yes, it was at the feeder high school for people who don't have the grades to get into the, it was the Air Force Academy, right?
Couldn't get into the Air Force Academy.
They do sort of a preparatory term there, and a lot of them are black, you see, because they can't get in on their own merits, so they got to be boosted and fed up with more information so they can make the grade.
Yeah, he made this huge, just widely publicized and praised, impassioned speech against racism, this, that, and the other.
Everybody was telling him how great and wonderful he was for doing this, and then it turned out to be a hoax, but he was still great and wonderful.
Yes, but you know back to the capitalization problem.
You know the Washington Post is going to capitalize white along with black.
Now this is rather revolutionary because as you know the Associated Press manual And the New York Times have decided they're going to capitalize black, but they're not going to capitalize white.
We discussed this before.
White is this sort of undifferentiated human mass.
It's of no particular interest, whereas black, you know, these are people who share this culture, their origins, and their widespread and universal exploitation and racism.
But WAPO is going to capitalize white because, as it explained, these diverse ethnicities were eventually, talking about white people from various parts of Europe, were eventually assimilated into the collective group that has had its own cultural and historical impact on the nation.
Well, yes, I think we had our own historical and cultural impact on the nation.
Not to put too fine a point on it, we built the nation.
Now, the whole argument here is that white, in this sense, can be legitimate because white people really do have some sort of identity.
But, I thought this was quite interesting, the paper will continue to keep white in lower case if they're writing about white nationalism or white supremacy.
It seems to me that if you're being logical, it's under those circumstances that white is most deserving of a capitalization because the theory is white people have some sort of collective racial identity and racial consciousness.
But that is not what they're going to do.
If they're talking about white supremacy, then it's going to be lowercase.
And so far, none of the various groups, AP Stylebook, Columbia School of Journalism, New York Times, they're of course capitalizing black, but not white.
Nobody is capitalizing brown.
I think they're Spanish.
The Spanish should start really whooping about that.
And how about yellow?
You know, yellow peril?
Anyway.
But let's see.
From one sort of insanity to another.
Let's move on to Portland.
As we have discussed on a number of these podcasts, Portland is still reeling from the demonstrations held every single night for more than two months.
George Floyd has really been a subject for a lot of friskiness and excitement, and the protests became increasingly violent in July after federal agents were deployed to protect the federal courthouse, which is sort of this vicious cycle.
You know, they start attacking the federal courthouse, the federal agents show up, and they do what's necessary, and that just excites these hopped-up demonstrators even more.
Portland saw the highest number of homicides in July in more than three decades, 30 years.
Last month alone accounted for more than half of the city's violent deaths in all of 2020, just one month.
So, in July there were 63 shootings compared to 28 during the same month last year.
That's more than twice.
Now, by strange coincidence, the increase in murders coincided with the City Council decision to shave more than $15 million from the budget.
The budget cuts went into effect July 1st.
And lo and behold, they have a record number of homicides, more than any time in 30 years.
And the police department says that the loss of the 34-member gun violence reduction team, that was part of the budget cut.
They consider that particularly regrettable.
Now, we will see if this city that is mainly run by white people will be able to put two and two together.
Well, the right kind of white people, too.
The ones who are dedicated completely to and complicit in the implementation of the Black Lives Matter de-policing.
We saw this in New York City, too, Mr. Taylor.
They got rid of the plainclothes detectives, or the gun reduction force.
And I believe, if I read this correctly, I think there's been more gun non-fatal shootings and fatal shootings in the first seven months of the year than all of 2019 in New York City.
Yes, I believe that's the case.
Just like everywhere else, all of this gun violence is going up, up, up, up, up.
And you know, I believe it is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
She says it's got nothing to do, nothing to do with de-policing, nothing to do with cutting funding.
She says it's because of all of the financial desperation of people because of COVID.
They haven't been able to get their daily bread.
And so they are out shooting people because they're hungry.
Weren't people who are unemployed getting like $800 a week or some gratuitous amount of money to stay at home as unemployment benefits?
As a matter of fact, shoplifting and store holdups and any kind of attempt to steal food, those are down.
And the idea that you're going to go out and shoot people because you're hungry.
Come on, Alexandria.
I thought you could do better than that.
But she is just up there with some of the more fantastic people who are running our country, and we can move to Illinois for another fantastic story.
Just earlier this week, people who are described as leaders in education, politics, and other areas gathered in Evanston to ask that the Illinois State Board of Education temporarily abolish the history curriculum in schools statewide.
Makes sense.
Or they have to really just stop teaching history.
Because at a news conference, state rep LaShawn K. Ford, I need not tell our listeners that LaShawn is heavily melanin enhanced.
He said, current history teaching leads to a racist society and one that overlooks the contributions of women and minorities.
Representative Ford's office distributed a press release in which he said, the title of it was, Representative Ford today in Everson to call for the abolishment The abolishment of history classes in Illinois schools.
He says that we must remove the history curriculum and books that quote unfairly communicate history Until a suitable alternative is developed.
He announced that, and I'm quoting, current history teaching overlooks the views by women, and he capitalized women, I guess that's the newfangled thing too, by women and members of the black, Jewish, LGBTQ communities and other groups. I bet he's really, really upset that
there is not more history teaching about Jewish and LGBT groups in Illinois.
The point is, he wants no history taught until he can come up with one that suits his specifies.
History at some point in the near future, if things continue to go along unimpeded,
will basically be Harriet Tubman, Katherine Johnson of the Hidden Figures fame,
We'll get something about Martin Luther King, and then we'll flash forward to the election of Barack Obama, and we'll just hear nothing more than stories about Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.
I know we're not going to talk about it, but I just briefly want to bring up one thing, and that is the In St.
Louis County, unbeknownst to all of us, they actually decided to dig up the corpse of Michael Brown and Darren Wilson, that story, and retry Darren Wilson over the past six months.
Retry him?
I mean, not in any kind of court of law.
Not, no, no, no.
They wanted, not retrying, but they wanted, they reopened the case to investigate to see if Darren Wilson actually was the bad guy.
Even though this case had already been decided by that amazing prosecutor, what was his name?
McCullough?
You and I were both so taken aback by it.
Yeah, he was defeated by a black guy.
And one of the things this black guy did in St.
Louis County was he decided to reopen the case.
And no one knew about this, and the timing last week, it came out on Thursday or Friday of last week, that, well, you know, we did this for six months, past six months, didn't tell anyone, and, you know, Darren Wilson didn't do anything wrong.
Oh, so we have yet another exculpation of Darren Wilson.
Well, what the feds could not accomplish, I guess the locals were going to try to do.
They're going to try to hang him high one way or the other, and I'm glad they failed.
Well, one outfit that is not failing is the Bing search engine.
Now, as you know, the Bing search engine is owned by Microsoft.
And somebody who uses Bing reported to me and sent along a screenshot of an unrequested search.
When you just go to Bing and look for anything, apparently, you get anti-racist books.
A whole display of them.
They're covers and they show up in this order.
White fragility.
That's number one.
Then, how to be an anti-racist.
That's by Ibram Kendi.
I guess those are the number one and number two anti-white philosophers operating today.
And then we get between the world and me.
That's of course Ta-Nehisi Coates.
He used to be number one, but his star is falling.
Oh, it's faded fast.
He was really the master of the firmament for a while, but his was a very brightly shooting star that seems to have glimmered out.
Then there's another book called So You Want to Talk About Race.
Then one called Me and White Supremacy.
One called, Stamped!
Racism, Anti-Racism and Something.
Then another one called, The New Jim Crow.
That's one of your favorite books.
What?
Michelle Alexander.
Then one called, What Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria For?
Then there's one called, The Color Of Law.
And then another one, I'm Still Here.
Black Dignity In A World Made For Whiteness.
One called, Untamed.
I don't know much about that one.
Then here's another one.
Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, then here's another title, Mindful of Race, Transforming Racism, and then one called How to Be Less Stupid About Race.
Of those books, I've read two of those, Mr. Taylor.
I've read The New Jim Crow and I've read The Color of Law, which is by I'm pretty sure it's by a law professor.
I think it's a Jewish author.
I'd actually recommend you read that.
I think you'd get a lot out of it.
You've read two of them?
I'm proud to know you, Mr. Kersey.
Now, I love this final title.
How to be less stupid about race.
It's obviously directed for white people.
There's no way we can be smart.
The best we can achieve is to be less stupid about race.
And then, of course, you can click through and you look for more and more.
I did click through and it is endless.
It is endless.
This is not a cottage industry.
This is a mansion industry.
All of these books about how wicked, awful, and unsalvageable we all are, but we've got to try harder and harder and harder.
You should write a children's book, Mr. Taylor.
You should create a pseudonym, a non-diplom, and write a children's book, and just basically call it...
Hey, blue eye, blonde hair, you're the worst person on the planet.
Here's what you should do about it.
You should just do a children's book with just some hilarious illustrations and just pitch it to one of these publishers.
I guarantee they'd give you a five to six figure advancement right away, saying, here, take our money.
Just take it.
There seems to be an insatiable desire for these books.
Yes, I ought to cash in one of these days.
And this, again, this was an unrequested, unsolicited search result From Bing.
So Bing is doing its part.
And I would like to add that Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors is doing her part.
She has called on the Democrats to adopt this legislation known as the BREATHE Act.
I don't know if you've heard of the BREATHE Act.
It's one of these things in full caps, B-R-E-A-T-H-E Act.
I hunted all over to find out what that stands for, but I can't find.
I thought it was the acronym for something, you know, black recreation, elegant something or other, but no.
I think all it is, is I can't breathe.
That's exactly what it is.
It's tied to the George Floyd and who was the guy in New York?
Eric Garner.
Eric Garner.
They couldn't breathe.
George Floyd's can't breathe.
Oh boy, it's the BREATHE Act.
So, her movement for Black Lives, their policy team met with members of Biden's campaign to really, really beat the drum for the BREATHE Act.
And they warned that if the Democratic Party is not careful, it will, quote, miss its greatest opportunity to lead our country to the true American Revolution.
The BREATHE Act is going to be the key and basic step towards the true American Revolution.
Now, this was put together by a coalition of more than 150 organizations, It has been championed by Representative Ayanna Pressley and Representative Rashida Tlaib.
And it would do a lot of things.
It would, first of all, eliminate ICE and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Just gone.
Poof.
And it would end life sentences and mandatory minimum sentences.
End life sentences.
I mean, it goes without saying it would get rid of the death sentence.
End life sentences.
It would close all federal prisons and immigration detention centers, decriminalize... All?
Yeah, all of them.
Yeah, we don't need those.
Decriminalize and retroactively expunge state and federal drug offenses.
It would defund the police, close detention facilities, abolish state gang databases, because we know they're all racist, they're full of black and brown people, so they are by definition racist, remove police from the schools, They're not needed there.
All they do is provoke crime, you know.
Repeal, and this is a great one.
It would repeal all juvenile offenses.
I guess that means you've got a free card.
You can rape, murder, burglarize, arson, loot up until age 18.
Eliminate all court fees.
And it calls for a new program that would send trained civilian specialists rather than police to respond to 911 calls.
You know, all that money that could be saved by doing everything the BREATHE Act wants to do, what you could do with all that is you could put it into just this one big Fund to buy all the books we just talked about and make sure that white people had to read all those books that you just mentioned.
That mansion industry.
That cottage industry.
In every household.
Exactly.
That's the only books you can have, comrade.
You know what else the Breathe Act is going to do?
It would provide lifetime free access to education for not necessarily blacks or browns but Illegal immigrants.
That's more than we get for heaven's sake.
Lifetime free access to education.
And of course, illegals would vote in local and state elections.
And, of course, the illegal immigrants basically is anyone who's not an American.
That's classified as an illegal immigrant.
I'm wondering if they would actually put an addendum, an asterisk there, and say this does not apply to people from European countries.
Well, see, it's an interesting thing, illegal immigrants.
That means if illegal immigrants get to vote, then everybody here gets to vote, presumably.
Absolutely everybody.
Citizenship, non-citizenship, who cares?
Now, this Patrisse Cullors, you know, I've been paying attention to her for some time, and she says that she was forced from her home.
She is a person of color, by the way, one of these BIPOCs at whose feet we are all supposed to bow.
She was forced from her home by her BIPOC parents at age 16 when she came clean on her queer identity to her parents.
Yes, he has a queer identity.
Now, she has a particular interest in the Nigerian religious tradition of Ifa, and she incorporates its rituals into political protest events.
I don't quite know the details of that, but if you see her doing some strange things at a political protest, she is no doubt incorporating the religious traditions of the Nigerian cult of Ifa.
And she also favors reparations for what she describes as the historical pains and damage caused by European settler colonialism.
That's you and me and our ancestors now.
So this is the lady who is telling Biden's people and the Democratic Party what our politics should be.
Now this person, I might add, She was named one of Fortune's world's greatest leaders in 2016.
2016. Of course. And she was named one of Fortune's world's greatest
leaders in 2016. She is a hot tamale, believe me. Now, you know, just real
quick, the convergence of this insanity, this hasn't just popped up with George
Floyd's death.
And I mean, I know you've seen the body cam footage.
Now, we know what a crock of excrement this entire story really is.
And I think it's, you know, we owe all these officers an apology.
Oh, I certainly, oh, I certainly, we agree.
But this stuff goes back so many years, Mr. Taylor, this building, all this anti-white.
I want to add one more fact about Patrice Cullors.
Now, all of our listeners who think she sounds pretty attractive, bad news, she's taken.
She is married.
She's married to a Canadian black woman named Janaya Khan.
So, she's off the market.
Boys and girls, off the market!
And, Janiya Khan.
She says that the police manufacture criminals.
They do not keep people safe.
It's the police who cause criminals to behave in a criminal manner.
So, these are the people, as I say, who are advising the man who could be our future president on what his policy should be.
And, you know, by the way, I don't think we'll have time to get it, but I was going to talk about Rashida Tlaib and the fact that she won her primary, but we're really running out of time at a great rate of speed.
We are.
And I was going to say, you know, I don't think she's being considered for VP candidate by Joe Biden.
I guess the fact that she's Palestinian rather than black is a bit of a question mark.
The fact that she's a Muslim might be a bit of a question mark.
But you know, as far as all this jabber about who he should choose for his running mate, you know, Aunt Jemima is off the pancake box and out of a job.
I think she ought to be his running mate.
What do you think?
Again, if I were Joe Biden, obviously it was announced today, he's not even going to leave his basement and go to Milwaukee to give any speeches.
The dude obviously has dementia.
I'm going to throw it out there.
There's something wrong when you watch his speeches.
It's uncomfortable to watch.
If I were the Democrats, I would convince Oprah Winfrey to take the VP spot, without a doubt.
I said that back in 2016.
You know, why wasn't Oprah Winfrey being considered?
I mean, who was Hillary Clinton's choice?
It was that goober from Virginia, Tim Kaine.
I mean, you forget how goofy the Democrats were in not trying to energize the black vote.
And of course, we know that the corporate media has done everything they can with the George Floyd incidents and this continuous Shocking anti-white just it's been so hard you know the past couple months have been really really difficult to watch all this because the Republicans and particularly Donald Trump, Mr. Taylor, they've just
Then M.I.A.
on a moment where they could have taken the baton that the American people were saying, please lead us.
Law and order is all we want.
Well, Mr. Trump will not save us.
It's up to us and we are rapidly running out of time.
And so, Mr. Kersey, do give us the news about gun ownership, if you would.
Well, this is one that I think this is a very important story.
Fox News, the title is, it says it all.
First time gun ownership skyrockets amid riots, increased violence across country.
Quote, you can't really be too safe, end quote.
Now, I've been tracking Smith & Wesson stock for a while, and they are hitting just unbelievable numbers.
Obviously, we're not an investment organization, so we're not telling you to buy stuff.
You should, you know, make up your own decision.
But here's the story real quick.
For years, Carlene and Jake went back and forth about purchasing a firearm.
The young parents from California, they didn't feel comfortable using their last names for identifying purposes.
They said, with the country a little bit on edge right now, it was time to make a purchase.
They are among the horde of 2.5 million first-time gun buyers who have exercised their Second Amendment rights to own a weapon.
Here's what they said, quote, with everything going on in both the world and in politics and everything, you can't really be too safe.
We have a young family, a family, so I think that's always in the back of my mind as well.
I think with a lot of the riots and such like that, it's important to, if your First Amendment isn't protected, I guess you always have the second.
So here's what's going on at the beginning of June.
This is two and a half million in what period of time?
Last month?
Here it goes.
Are you ready for this?
At the beginning of June, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, NSSF, announced that more than 2.5 million people had become first-time gun owners in the first half of 2020.
January to June 1st of 2020 was, quote, unlike any other year for firearm purchases, particularly by first-time buyers.
As new NSSF research reveals, millions of people chose to purchase their first gun during the COVID-19 pandemic, said Jim Kurt Caruto, the Shooting Foundation's Director of Research and Market Development.
Now, get this, there were a record number of gun transactions during that period.
10.3 million were processed in the country during that time period, and that's background checks.
So that's just people, not just buying from an individual, which is allowed, you know, the so-called gun show loophole.
These are people who are getting their background checks, and this does not include data from June through July, which I think is even going to be far greater.
Oh yes.
Everything June and July.
That's going to be just a fantastic increase in gun ownership.
I went to a gun store and I walked in to see what they had and they had no handguns.
There were no glocks to be seen.
They had some high points.
If our listeners know much about firearms, high points, the 9mm, the .45, they're not exactly firearms that enthuse this out there.
Our collectors are A high commodity firearm, let's put it that way.
Glocks are virtually impossible to get.
Obviously, we're seeing AR-15.
Also increasingly hard to find, and ammo is also difficult to find across the country.
Yep, yep.
Everybody wants to be prepared.
This is what Black Lives Matter means for America.
More guns, more ammo.
Ah, yes.
America the beautiful.
From sea to shining sea.
Yes, so this is the country we're turning into.
I think I remember reading a study one time where it talked about how first-time gun buyers in an election year were more likely to vote Republican.
Obviously, we don't really talk about the election too much.
I mean, it's hard to believe there's an election going on with all that's happening, all these cataclysmic changes across the country, the coronavirus lockdown.
Is there going to be an election?
Gosh, I'd forgotten all about that.
when I don't wear a mask at the grocery store or at the post office and nearly getting in fist fights.
Yep, but well.
I've read that I think there's a study that shows that first time gun owners during an election year
overwhelmingly vote Republican.
Is there going to be an election?
Gosh, I'd forgotten all about that.
But I believe we have to come to a close here.
And so I believe I will take your line.
And this is Jared Taylor speaking for Radio Renaissance and Paul Kersey.
