Jared Taylor: "What's Wrong with the Country?" (2015)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Jared Taylor, and I run American Renaissance.
And the subject of my talk today is, what's wrong with our country?
Well, where do you begin on a subject like that?
How do you whittle that down to size?
Well, clearly, I want to poach it from our point of view.
We're here because we're white and we care passionately about the survival of our culture and our people, our race, and our civilization.
And so what has got to be changed in this country so that it contributes to our flourishing and to our surviving rather than contributing to our dispossession?
Well, if I had a magic repair kit, I think one of the first things I'd do is fix a terrible mental blind spot in the mental life of our country.
I could fix it with just four syllables.
It's almost like a magic incantation.
But when these four syllables are pronounced loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, riddles that baffle sages are immediately solved, and taboos plunge from their pedestals, and the scales fall from people's eyes.
And the four syllables are race and IQ. These four syllables have the power to really smash the entire egalitarian edifice.
What they mean, of course, is that biology is what accounts for racial differences, that the races differ in average intelligence and temperament, and that is why Switzerland is different from Haiti.
It's really as simple and as obvious as that.
It's so simple and so obvious that 100 years ago, everyone understood this without even thinking about it.
And it's one of the great ironies and the great tragedies of history that the entire Western world is stampeding towards the abyss because we've turned our back on something so obvious and so basic.
But these four syllables solve countless mysteries.
Why are black crime and poverty rates so high?
Well, mystery solved.
Why are there racial gaps in test scores?
Why are there so few blacks in AP classes?
Mystery solved.
Why do so many Hispanic students drop out?
Mystery solved.
Why did the Marshall Plan work miracles for Europe, but all of our foreign aid to the third world is a complete flop?
Why can't blacks and Hispanics pass civil service and teacher qualifications examinations?
All these mysteries are solved.
And for example, why is Singapore rich?
But Nigeria, with all that oil, is a mess.
Mystery solved.
And, of course, one of the latest mysteries that's baffling Silicon Valley is why are there so few black and Mexican programmers?
All those super smart, high-tech types out there in Silicon Valley are just scratching their heads over this, but it's not a mystery to you.
It's not a mystery to me either.
This simple truth about race.
solves countless riddles that are utterly flummoxing the professors and the PhD.
This four-syllable incantation also completely solves the problem of white privilege, so-called.
There isn't any.
There isn't any because blacks and Hispanics, by and large, get to the level where they deserve to get, given their abilities.
And then some...
A considerable number get an extra boost because of racial preferences.
It's not white people that are holding them down.
Of course, because the country firmly closes its eyes against the truth about race and IQ, there is an official and completely mistaken explanation for all of the mysteries that we just solved.
Racism explains...
Everything from black illegitimacy to the horrible mess in Nigeria.
And that is why so much perverted effort goes into ransacking the country for all of this alleged racism.
And that's why every single racial encounter gets put under the microscope and every white person is guilty of racism and in fact cannot be proven innocent.
If we could just recognize that the problem is racial differences, not racism, then all those people like George Zimmerman and Darren Wilson, the Duke lacrosse team, and countless others wouldn't have to have their lives turned upside down by this hysterical hunt for racism that just isn't even there.
There's another reason why it would be a huge improvement for our country.
If we recognize that blacks and Hispanics don't perform at the same level because there are simple differences in ability, it would eliminate a huge chunk of the hatred that blacks have for us.
As you know, our country more or less officially encourages them to hate us by telling them they are just as smart as we are, that they work twice as hard, but that we are viciously thwarting them.
At every turn.
America's message, particularly to blacks, is that you can blame all your problems on creepy-ass crackers, as a famous black man once put it.
If we stopped encouraging black people to hate white people, think of all those rape victims, mugging victims, murder victims.
That would not be victimized.
All of those people, white people, who are murdered in the name of black hatred for whites.
So there are incalculable advantages to recognizing this little biological fact.
If the country, if the entire world accepted the truth about race and IQ, we could avoid a staggering amount of misery, waste, folly.
Agony, guilt.
And it is so simple, and the evidence is everywhere.
Just watch the news.
Just walk through any American town.
But today, as far as race is concerned, it's as if we were still limping along with the Ptolemaic solar system.
It's as if we still believed that the sun and everything else revolves around the earth.
Now, you can build a ramshackle, Rube Goldberg kind of system based on that assumption.
But you have to have planets that sometimes go backwards in their orbits.
You have to have other planets that swing around in these utterly drunken, crazy orbits.
It can be done.
But you can get rid of all of that nonsense with just one simple concept.
Namely, it's the Sun, not the Earth, that's in the middle.
And once you have understood that, everything else falls into place.
Well, race and IQ is an equally powerful, equally illuminating concept.
And you can still, of course, metaphorically anyway, be burned at the stake for pointing that out.
As a matter of fact, the whole issue of race and IQ is such a clear and convincing explanation for the way the world works.
That there are some very smart people out there who suspect that the truth about race is so obvious that really everybody understands it, and they just keep quiet.
The great Murray Rothbard was one of the people who think that.
And I can hear him now in his little nasal voice saying, everybody, and I mean everybody understands that stuff.
Well, I got into a debate in print about this very question with Bob Weisberg.
He also...
Refuses to believe that people really mean it when they say that the races are equal.
He can't believe that anyone can believe anything so obviously wrong and stupid.
Well, I'm kind of a simpleton.
I believe what people tell me.
And there are other reasons, besides my trusting nature, to believe what they say.
Congressman with an IQ at least equal to that of a fried egg, and let's assume that's maybe a majority.
Let's assume that they all quietly know the score.
Well, if that were true, they would never have passed anything so idiotic as No Child Left Behind, which is based squarely on this idea of utter equality between the races.
They would have found some delicate way to kill this bill, or More likely, no one would have ever come up with something as stupid as this.
But that crazy piece of folly was passed by overwhelming majorities in both houses.
Overwhelming majorities in both parties.
Also, if the people who really run our country, if they really knew the score, they'd find some way to finesse the whole immigration problem.
With enough huffing and puffing and posturing and posing about the environment, you could easily justify eliminating all immigration.
You could call the new zero immigration bill something like an act to preserve the American environment for future generations.
So in other words, you could have an immigration policy that was very, very conscious of race, but never even mentioned it.
How many people do you reckon actually run the country?
If you count up the congressmen, the cabinet, the president, the judges, the billionaires, the media moguls, what's that number really come to, the people who really run the country?
Maybe a thousand?
Well, I see absolutely no evidence that whoever those thousand people are, that they secretly know the truth about race.
They just would behave differently if they really did know the truth.
I think the reason that we keep bringing in Haitians and Guatemalans and Somalis and the reason why by 2060 we're going to have another 100 million people living here, according to projections, it's because they really do believe that the races are not just equal,
but they're interchangeable.
Swap out the whites, swap in the Somalis, and Jefferson's America just keeps marching on.
The biology of race should be taught in the fifth grade, but instead our students are taught this completely absurd fantasy that race doesn't even exist.
So if you wanted to fix what is deeply, fatally wrong with our country, I think you could do well by starting by correcting just this one factual delusion.
That would be a great place to start.
Now obviously there is opposition to the truth.
All the blacks and Hispanics who swindle white people by trading on white guilt, they have a deep professional stake in this theory of wall-to-wall white racism.
But I think we have an even more serious opposition, and that comes from whites who love to feel good about themselves by feeling bad about being white.
White people, I think they have this deep need to feel virtuous.
That's the way they are.
And the favorite way for today's liberals to feel virtuous is to look down on other white people whom they can consider racists.
I think for them, it's a real thrill.
It's like a snort of cocaine.
And if you tell them, no, no, there actually aren't millions of people that hate black people.
There aren't millions of people.
That you can really look down on.
I think they'd get the DTs.
They'd get the shakes.
They have to have this feeling that they're superior to people like us.
And I think it is those white people who are the real enemies of the truth, not blacks and Hispanics.
Now, aside from the facts about race and IQ...
There is another piece of obviously blindingly clear reality that official America refuses to recognize.
And I was reminded of this very vividly when I read an interview with President Obama that was conducted at a place, a website called Vox.
They asked him, now didn't he think that it was possible that there was More racial polarization in the country since he was elected rather than less.
I thought that was a rather brave question to ask the president by some mainstream outfit.
Well, the leader of the free world did admit that Ferguson, that's a worrying phenomenon.
But, and here I quote, he said, but...
Over the long term, I'm pretty optimistic, and the reason is because this country is becoming more and more of a hodgepodge of folks.
You go to Tennessee, and it turns out we've got this huge Kurdish community.
So, black people are rioting.
But Mr. Obama says, I shouldn't worry because Tennessee is filling up with Kurds.
Well, gosh, I feel much better now.
But that is the cuckoo, utterly cuckoo official theory.
We have had a black-white race problem for 400 years, and we're supposed to solve this problem by importing boatloads of curds?
This is the cuckoo magic of diversity.
So this is the other utterly obvious fact that our defective country refuses to recognize.
People prefer to be with folks like themselves.
Blacks like to be with blacks.
Mexicans like to be with Mexicans.
And why does Tennessee have this famous nest of Kurds?
Well, obviously, it's because Kurds like to hang out with other Kurds.
Even liberals have to admit that at lunchtime in the schoolhouse, the students sort themselves out very, very efficiently on the basis of race.
People don't like diversity.
They like homogeneity.
In fact, all around the world, the main reason people are killing each other as diligently as they are is because of diversity.
It's when people who are different in terms of race or religion or language or nationality, when they are diverse in these ways that we're supposed to be celebrating, when they live together, they can't stand it and they kill each other.
But we are supposed to persist in this utterly absurd notion that If we just fill the country up with people who are as utterly unlike each other as possible, it will be heaven on earth.
So what I'm talking about here are really very simple ideas.
Two extremely simple ideas.
The races are different and people are tribal.
These ideas are obviously true and they're necessary for our survival.
These ideas have to be accepted.
And yet every institution in our country, public or private, religious or civil, every one of them fights these ideas as if they were Satan and his legions.
Why is it so hard to accept the obvious?
This wild persistence in believing that diversity is a wonderful thing is especially hard to understand.
Quote Murray Rothbard, so to speak.
No one, and I mean no one, actually practices diversity.
All these hymns to diversity, they are just brazen hypocrisy.
Even the most heavily certified, unimpeachable, grade-A liberals, they avoid diversity in their own lives just as much as any of you do.
Look where they live.
Look where their friends are.
I think you can get a sense of the depths of hypocrisy in our time.
If you try to imagine a world in which people have the usual craving for money and wealth, but it is absolutely taboo to admit it, if you end up with money, it's supposed to be just some complete accident, just a byproduct of something else.
And if anybody actually admitted that, well, yes, he did something for money, oh, well, that is awful, you are shamed, you are banned, you are kicked out of polite society.
Now, I realize that it's hard to imagine something as odd as this, but I think it's an almost perfect analogy for the way liberals sort of scheme their way around the race question.
Their neighbors are white.
Their families are white.
They work with white people.
Their dinner guests are white.
Their friends are white.
They marry white people.
But it's all just a coincidence.
They really, really, really wanted a life filled with fascinating Mexicans and intellectual black people and charming, colorful Kurds, but somehow it just didn't turn out that way.
This would be like somebody saying, yes, I work like hell to get into a good college and get into an investment bank, and now I make $5 million a year, but believe me, it's not about the money.
I love my work.
I do it for minimum wage.
That's really the liberal and race view for you.
Their lives are guided by race and tribe right down to last night's television program, but they'd rather die than admit it.
I just don't understand why it's so hard to get people to admit something that is universal and that they themselves practice all the time.
I remember one point that Sam Dixon made in a speech.
He said liberals, they should learn from the hippies.
They need to get in touch with their feelings.
Because it's very clear what their feelings are.
It's their feelings that betray what they really have in their bones despite everything that they say.
In fact, I think we could base our survival just on that one idea alone.
The idea that human beings are tribal.
That they are happier in their own homelands with their own people.
And isn't that enough?
Isn't that enough justification?
Well, obviously it's enough for every non-white country in the world.
And you could combine tribalism with ideas of conservation.
After all, obscure species are worth preserving.
The untouched people of the Amazon are worth preserving.
The tribes of New Guinea, they are bio-socially unique and precious, and they're worth preserving.
And so are Koreans and Ghanaians and Pakistanis and Paraguays.
They're valuable and unique biological, cultural specimens.
France? Sweden?
Absolutely not.
What about white Americans?
What about America's founding stock?
What about southerners?
The Yankees of New England?
No. If you talk about preserving those people as opposed to Tibetans or as opposed to the New Guinean Highlanders, then you're a straight up and down Nazi.
I just don't understand why the people of the West don't have at least the same rights to biological and cultural continuity as these tribes in the Amazon.
This position, I think, is completely consistent with liberal views on conservation and respecting the environment, but the rules that apply to everybody else clearly don't apply to us.
Now, I think there's yet another approach that we can take.
When we talk about making the case for separation and survival, because our survival ultimately requires separation.
I was reminded of this when I read an opinion piece in the January 12 New York Times by Judith Butler.
She's one of these famous critical theory specialists at UC Berkeley, and she, of course, is white.
She was talking about the police killings.
of black men.
And she mentioned some in which there is a video, like the case of Eric Garner in New York.
And she wrote this:"We can see the videos and know what is obviously true, but it is also obviously true that police and the juries that support them obviously do not see what is obvious or do not wish to see." In other words,
she thinks that people like us are deliberately shutting our eyes to the evidence.
And then she goes on to conclude that black people are now, and I'm quoting from Judith Butler again, targeted and hunted by a police force that is becoming increasingly emboldened to wage its race war.
Waging race war on blacks.
Now, here's a person that I would consider delusional, pretty close to the point of insanity.
But I'm sure she would consider everyone in this room Equally delusional to the point of insanity.
And really, I think it's important to recognize that people that think the way she does, and I think she speaks to the huge majority of black people, their view and our view simply cannot be reconciled.
They really do think they see oceans of racism out there.
I think they really do think that we roll up our sleeves in the morning every day and we spit on our hands and we say to ourselves, okay, how are we going to keep black people down?
If this were a marriage, it would be called irreconcilable differences, and it would be grounds for divorce.
Thank you.
We live in different worlds psychologically.
And this makes it impossible for us to live in the same world physically.
Now when blacks and Hispanics and their white handlers insist on seeing things that aren't there, the natural impulse is to try to explain why they are wrong.
And I've spent years trying to do this.
But sometimes when you're up against the hard-boiled crazies, it's a waste of time trying to explain anything.
For those people, I think the best tactic is not even to try to talk them out of the idea that whites are uniquely, hopelessly racist.
Instead, we should let them wallow in that idea, let them glory in it, let them preen themselves on this idea, and then we should propose the next logical step.
If we really are hopeless, the only solution is to let us go.
Let us go our own way.
The anti-racists have been educating our children for generations.
And we're still, white people are still apparently seething with racism.
This must mean we're incurable.
So what's the solution?
Separation. Put enough distance between us and all those poor non-white people so that they are out of reach of our venom.
Isn't that really essentially the logical next step from what Judith Butler is saying?
She's saying white people are hopeless.
Okay, fine.
Consider us hopeless.
Then let us build our own society.
You and your black friends, you can build yours.
You don't like the way we do our police work?
Fine. We'll take care of our side of the line.
You take care of yours.
I think when it comes to people like Judith Butler, that should be our position.
If we're incorrigible, you're better off without us.
You build your neighborhoods and your institutions, and we'll build ours.
Now, for 25 years, it's been the job of the American Renaissance to try to inject some form of common sense into what's being said about race in America.
And I think these ideas are making headway.
Since the suppression of common sense that took place, it's hard to gauge when, but beginning in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and so on.
I don't think since that suppression began there have been nearly as many people who have understood race, and there's evidence for this everywhere.
There's something called the manosphere.
It's hugely popular among young men.
It takes a grimly, unromantic view of women, but it also basically takes racial consciousness for granted.
The entire movement called The Dark Enlightenment is a mighty blast against orthodoxies of all kinds, including racial orthodoxies.
And there are even a couple of influential, almost mainstream websites like Tacky Mag and even sometimes American Thinker.
They regularly laugh at racial orthodoxies.
And even sites like World Net Daily or Breitbart or Christian News Network, they take a consistent line against mainstream foolishness, although they would never cross the line into outright.
Racial consciousness.
And of course, as you know, the comment sections of newspapers are so full of sensible racial observations that editors frequently talk about eliminating the possibility of having comments.
They're terrified that so many of their readers see things that they would prefer were not there.
Compared to, say, 20 years ago, there is a far, far larger number of sensible white people who understand the way the world works and understand what's at stake.
But all those undeceived people are still in the shadows.
They are leaderless.
They are waiting to come face to face, not only with each other, but with our opponents.
Now, how do you take all of this intellectual...
Energy and all of this intelligence and forge it into a movement that does battle in the real world, whether through the political system or through some other way.
And I believe this will be some of the questions that are taken up in the debate that will follow after the coffee break.
And it may have dawned on you that the two things that I mentioned here before, racial differences and a sense of tribalism.
Those are the terms in which I have tried to define what would be a minimal solution to the race problem if the notion of racial differences in temperament and IQ and tribalism were reflected in public policy.
Can that be achieved through any kind of politics in America?
But the question that to be debated, as I say, is whether our political system can achieve that.
What I would like to conclude...
By reading a passage from one of my favorite books of history.
It's called Russia and the West under Lenin and Stalin.
It's by George Kennan.
I reread this book when I went to Russia.
And I'd like to read to you what Kennan had to say about the early Bolsheviks.
Now let me point out that George Kennan hated communism.
He hated communism and all its effects, everything it stood for, but he was a very shrewd judge of men.
And I will quote:"It was a startling experience for European diplomats and businessmen, after long immersion in the Western society of that day, where the accent was so extensively on individualism,
on personal vanity, On social rivalry and snobbishness, to encounter men who had a burning social faith and were relentless and incorruptible in the pursuit of it.
The Soviet leaders knew what they wanted.
They worked day and night to carry it into effect.
They gave no thought to themselves.
They demanded discipline from others, and they accepted it for themselves.
In their seriousness of purpose, in the forthright simplicity of their behavior, and in their refusal to bother about non-essentials, in their contemptuous rejection of personal considerations to the needs of the movement, in their willingness to get their hands dirty in the interest of the cause,
for those who saw this firsthand, the impression was unforgettable.
Alas! Not even our friends will say things like that about any of us, but those are the qualities of men who make history.
The Bolsheviks had the dedication and the force of will to overthrow an empire, and it's our job to overthrow an empire of deceit.
The Bolsheviks devoted their lives to a cause that we know was a tyrannical, murderous dead end.
And yet they did so with a tenacity and faithfulness for which George Kennan, their bitter enemy, could not help but have the highest admiration.
How much easier should it not be for us to throw ourselves into a cause that we know is not only right and beautiful, but necessary for the preservation of everything we love?
There is no greater faithfulness to our heritage than to work to ensure that we have not just a heritage, but also a destiny.
A destiny for our children and their children forever.
We are the Paul Revere's of our time.
We are riding through the streets of the entire Western world, shouting,"White man, wake up!" And we must ride, and we must shout.
Until our people do wake up, and once they do, if we set the example, they will fight.
They will fight for the right to be us, because only we can be us.
Thank you.
I'd be happy to take a few questions.
Okay, Jared, you used the word delusional and you also used the word or the phrases about equality and how ridiculous it is to assume or claim that all races are exactly equal.
And I would just want to say that equally insane and equally delusional is the claim that the sexes are equal.
You have more in combination.
Common with somebody like Thomas Sowell or Yi Yang Yu than you will with any woman on this earth.
And I think a big problem with what's going on in our country, including the apathy, is what's happening between the sexes.
Well, I think that's a very good point.
And I think you could argue that you could, if you were living in Sweden...
You could suffer under the illusion that the races were equal because you never knew any people who were not white.
And if you lived in the north of the United States, you maybe knew only a few well-behaved black people, you might be able to believe that the races were equal.
But everyone has a mother.
Most people have sisters.
And for us, under even those circumstances, when every one of us is exposed to racial differences, from the moment we go to, I'm sorry, sex differences, from the moment we go to kindergarten, to persist in believing that the sexes are equal.
They're going to put women in combat and the special forces, etc.
To me, that's even more difficult to understand than the obvious folly of believing that all the races are equal.
So it's just one more sign of our collective delusion and folly.
Yes, sir.
I'm going to ask a probing question, if you don't mind.
Probe away.
Thank you.
So, you're probably aware of the book, Charles Murray's Coming Apart.
In this book, he paints two pictures of white America.
One is college-educated, married, working, reads lots of books, and physically thin and healthy.
In the other, take the opposite of all of that.
Out of wedlock births, not working, On the dole, watch hours and hours of TV, and are often overweight.
Now, these are characteristics, unfortunately, of the black community.
However, race is held constant in his studies.
He only looks at white America.
So, how do you reconcile these differences?
Is it necessarily an IQ question or one of bad incentives provided by the government?
Well, I think it's both.
Of course, all characteristics, human characteristics, are scattered along a bell curve, and you're going to have the lower end of the curve for whites.
And some of them, given the incentives of welfare and the rewards for factless procreation and shiftlessness, some of them are going to start behaving like blacks.
I think that's simply a matter of statistics, and it's inevitable.
What we have to do, of course, is not cut those people off.
We have to think in terms of our race as a big family.
Some of us are leaders, some of us are followers, some of us are achievers, some of us are not.
But I think that we have to build a society that is for us and for us.
Including all of those who are not necessarily the best members of our race.
We are an extended family.
So even those who are not endowed at the top end genetically, they are still part of our family.
And just as a family looks after those of its members who are not the most brilliant and not the most capable, we have to look after them too.
Thank you.
Mr. Taylor, at a previous American Renaissance, I think it was Michael Levin, was talking about the word"race," where he says,"Give it to them." It's, you know, supplant race for people from Asia, people from Africa, people from Europe.
Given the other side's dislike of that word...
And they're facts that it doesn't exist.
How would you suggest responding to them?
Because if you come out with the things that you were talking about that are very common sense, you'll say, ah, race doesn't even exist, end of argument.
How do you deal with that?
Well, if you remember American Renaissance conferences when Michael Levin was speaking, you're quite an old-timer.
That must go back at least 10 or 15 years.
So welcome back here in 2015.
The other side...
Pretends to believe that race doesn't exist.
But they are always finding reasons to penalize us for our race.
They are just as racially conscious as any Ku Kluxer.
So I think that it would be wrong to agree that, okay, race doesn't exist.
Race obviously exists.
Two- and three-year-old children understand race.
There are practically no non-whites who believe this rubbish.
They're not utterly stupid.
You will have a hard time finding a black person who says...
Oh, it's all an illusion.
No, they don't understand that.
So I think that if you look at the way even these white liberals behave in their own lives, they pretend this, they mouth this, but they know instantly who is the oppressor class and who is the oppressed class.
How did they figure that out?
Just by one look at you.
Did they detect something that's really a sociological optical illusion emanating from you?
No. They looked at your physical type.
That's all it took.
I think, no, I would not...
We cannot concede the word race.
The word race has been a good Anglo-Saxon word for hundreds of years.
And I think it would be a pity to throw off something that has served us well and I think will continue to serve us well.
Yes, Jared, I have to express a little skepticism about your strategy of agreeing with those of other people who condemn us as the ultimate evil and say, okay, let's just separate this.
Well, these people, they know at least subliminally.
They could never have the standard of living that they have without the white race.
So I think that rather than agreeing with us, even though we make a quite logical case, they would definitely reject that out of hand.
Well, I would make that as a rhetorical sally for those who seem to think that we are hopeless and unsalvageable.
When I did a lot more radio...
I was sometimes on black radio programs, and the black hosts would talk about all the evil things that white people have done.
And I would begin to draw them out, and I would begin to say, well, do you think this is because there's something special about white people?
And they'd say, hmm, yeah, could be.
And I'd say, well, is this because we are uniquely evil?
Is there something about white people that makes us uniquely wicked and oppressive?
And by and large, you would get them to agree.
And I would say, well, okay.
Then what's the solution?
Should we all be exterminated?
Should we all just live on a different part of the country?
And that would baffle them.
They wouldn't know what to do, but it's a way to trap them in their own logic.
I think it's really a rhetorical ploy as much as anything else, but I think the value of it...
Is in the complete contrast it is to all other white people who say,"Oh, no, no, no, no, we love you, and we're going to reform.
We're going to be good." Instead say,"Okay, you don't like us the way we are?
Then clear out, or let us clear out." That's a position I think rhetorically can be a useful one, and they have no answer to it.
Of course, as you say...
In their hearts, they know they need us badly.
And I'm reminded of a line from an article that appeared in American Renaissance some time ago.
It was written by a white guy who was a teacher in an all-black school.
And he used to joke around with the students about racial questions.
And one day, he asked this room full of black children.
He said,"What would things be like if there were no white people in America?" The immediate answer was,"Mr.
Jackson, we screwed!" And I think it's significant that when Louis Farrakhan had his Million Man March in Central Park, and he had the largest audience he's ever had in his life...
He had network coverage, every word he said.
Instead of talking about what has always been part of the platform of the nation of Islam, namely racial separation, he didn't say a word about that.
He started talking about the mother spaceship and all these strange things.
I think in their heart of hearts, even the most hopped up black leaders realize that they are much, much better off with us as neighbors.
As doctors, as suppliers, as mechanics, they're much, much better off keeping us on the hop and exploiting our superior qualities.
I think they all know that.
I find this conference very interesting, and I have to make a comment.
This is the first time in the history of civilization That a majority population has given up its majority and its rights and its power without bloodshed.
So I wonder just how smart are we that we give it up just like take it from us and then we say give us a place to go.
This was our country and we gave it up without a fight.
And now we're talking about let us go live somewhere.
It is time for white Americans to stand.
And be counted and demand the same rights that our black brothers and sisters have, that our Jewish brothers and sisters have, that our Hispanic illegals have.
And we don't do that.
We just take it, and we take it, and we take it, and we whine.
I agree.
I agree.
This is really without historical precedent.
I don't think ever.
Ever in history, the world has a majority of people that had the capacity to maintain its territory quietly and voluntarily just marched off towards the edge of the world, off the stage of history.
And I've puzzled my brains over this for what has caused it.
I don't have a satisfactory explanation for it myself.
But I agree.
This is a form of self-destructive insanity that's new to our species.
And I think it's something that only whites are capable of.
But I think that it is this recognition that we are doing something, first of all, that is not only unprecedented, but that is something that reflects an enormous...
Double standard.
I think that's one of the most important appeals we can make, is to explain that no other people has ever done this, no other people is expected to do this, that we do have rights.
