Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
You will probably be getting this episode on September 11th.
That will be the 19th anniversary of the attack on the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and the one that fell out of the air thanks to the Flight 93 takeover.
Now, it's interesting to me that people have always said, at the time, they said, well, nothing will ever be the same.
Well, the only thing that's really changed in my mind is that we have a TSA, which is an intrusive and unpleasant addition to our bureaucracy.
But people these days are also saying nothing will be the same after COVID.
But I don't think that's the case either.
People will drift back to offices because people like to work in offices.
And I don't think there's going to be an unending cascade of epidemics of this kind.
But perhaps my co-host Paul Kersey has a different view on these matters.
Hey, it's just fascinating.
We saw earlier this, well last month now, there were rumblings that they were going to have a cancellation of the 9-11 memorial in New York, New York City, because of COVID-related concerns.
Obviously, that doesn't matter when it comes to Black Lives Matter.
Marches and whatever you want to call their peaceful demonstrations as our president would call them so aptly.
Let's just put it this way.
You're right.
9-11 happened for a couple months.
There was a lot of hoopla.
A lot of people were excited.
A lot of people thought that things might change.
But you're right.
All you have now are an intrusive bureaucracy that makes going to the airport rather unpleasant.
And we've had it for 19 years now.
And I suspect it will never go away.
Unless they have improved facial recognition and who knows what else, a long-distance detection that will know that you've got a tube of toothpaste in your pocket without, who knows?
We're not going to mention this, you know, I know you're a civil libertarian in a lot of ways, but I would have no problem with facial recognition technology being everywhere.
You know, in Portland, the police are now barred from using facial recognition technology because, guess what?
It catches criminals.
It catches criminals, but all these peaceful demonstrators, they're able to capture them and get them and then go and actually arrest them.
Can't have that.
You can't.
Go ahead.
Anyway, let's start off with Jessica Krug.
Up until just a few days ago, she was an associate professor at Georgia Washington University.
Whose focus was on Africa and the African diaspora.
And it turns out, of course, that she has lied about being black.
She is, in fact, a white Jewish woman who grew up in Kansas City.
And she wrote a long mea culpa in which she admitted that she had falsely assumed that it is, quote, that I had no right to claim first North African blackness, then US rooted blackness, Then, Caribbean-rooted Bronx Blackness.
Well, she has been shape-shifting ever since high school, it seems.
Well, she grew up middle class, upper middle class, attended private school before breaking contact with her family after going to university.
In fact, to keep her identity secret, she even skipped her mother's funeral in 2013.
These days... Charming.
Oh, she's a lovely woman.
But these days, in order to maintain this pose, she calls herself, quote, an unrepentant and unreformed child of the hood.
It's glamorous, of course, to be from that environment.
Then she goes on to, in her mea culpa, she says, to an escalating degree over my adult life.
Yeah, she just geared up that story ratchet by ratchet.
I've eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child.
And she described what she did as, quote, the very epitome of violence.
Violence.
Once again, here's this way that white people commit violence against black people without even moving a muscle.
Of course, she said a few things, but the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation, of the myriad ways in which non-black people continue to use and abuse black identities and cultures.
Now, Mr. Kersey, do you use and abuse black identities and cultures?
I can safely say I do not.
You can't safely say you do not.
All white people do that, you know.
Oh, really?
Of course, of course.
Just by existing, right?
Just by existing.
And then she added that she had continued this pretense of blackness even in her personal relationships.
Oh, the mind just boggles.
I'm not sure what that means.
Delete that memory, that thought from my mind.
As I say, the mind boggles.
She goes on to say, I believe in cancel culture as a necessary and righteous tool for those with less structural power to wield against those with more power.
Did you know that's what it was?
Those with less power.
So in other words, when YouTube or Twitter decide to cancel you or me, it's those with less power.
Of course it makes total sense.
Yes, yes.
Well, in any case, she goes on to say, you should absolutely cancel me and I absolutely cancel myself.
Now, sounds like she ought to jump off the top of the Empire State Building, if that's really the way she feels, but I don't think she's done that.
Apparently, there were black Latino scholars, whoever they are, they had recently begun to confront Ms.
Krug.
And asked questions about her background.
And so, she saw the light, she saw things coming, and she came clean.
But, as in her pose, as an unrepentant, unreformed child of the hood, she used to rail against gentrifiers and developers.
And she condemned elected officials who adopted a pose of being anti-police.
Quite the poser herself.
Then it turns out she's now resigned her assistant professorship at George Washington University.
GW sent email to all students reporting this and encouraged students to seek support from campus resources.
This was such a trauma, I suppose, that they are going to need support.
And they said, we hope that this update, that with this update, our community can begin to heal.
And move forward.
Heal from what?
Well, you know, anything, anything just traumatizes these poor snowflakes.
So they're going to heal and they're going to move forward.
A lot of people said, of course, that she should be fired.
And others said that Duke University Press should stop selling her 2018 book called Fugitive Modernities.
Fugitive Modernities.
What does that even mean?
It's about fugitive slave communities in Angola.
Now, I didn't know about fugitive slave communities in Angola.
That's in Africa.
And also in the African diaspora.
Many are now calling her book terrible, junk, a waste of space, but not at the time.
Readers called it original, engaging, and brilliant.
And one scholar said, this is a major accomplishment by someone whose dazzling intellect has opened new avenues for the work that will follow in its wake.
How do you like that?
And the book was a finalist in 2019 for two prestigious awards.
Did you know there was such a thing as the Harriet Tubman Prize?
And it was also finalist for the Frederick Douglass Book Prize.
Boy, I mean, black lives matter, black books matter, just black, black, black, black, blackity black.
Well, she was Well, frankly, I think she deserves an award.
She shouldn't be cancelled.
She should be put on a pedestal.
Has she not proven that race is a social construct?
She has.
She has.
She's the living, breathing, walking, talking epitome of race as a social construct.
She's also cancelled this concept of white privilege.
Boy, sure she is.
But that they don't want.
That's sort of a problem.
That's a fly in the ointment.
But yeah, she became black and she did a pretty good job apparently.
Pretty convincing.
And here's a great example of just how black she was.
She was a speaker at an April 2019 event hosted by the college's Black Studies Department to discuss social solidarity and activism now taking shape across the African diaspora.
I love that.
Across the African diaspora.
Well, and there she talked about a fellow named Lissandro Guzman Feliz.
He was a Dominican living in the Bronx who was chased down by a Dominican street gang who mistook him for a rival gang member.
This was a rather notorious killing in 2018.
They hauled him out of a bodega and they hacked him to bits with machetes.
Charming.
Well, in her pose as an unrepentant and unregenerate child of the ghetto, Professor Krug mused about the fact that this guy, this guy who got hacked to death was a collaborator because he was a member of the NYPD's Explorer Youth Program, which is an attempt to get marginalized youth and bring them into the NYPD.
It sounds like a great program.
It sounds like, well, but she says, in effect, he deserved it because he was a potential NYPD guy.
An informant, somebody who's going to snitch.
So she's endorsing snitchers getting... That's right.
She's endorsing snitchers getting stitches.
Or not just stitches, but being hacked to death.
Macheted to death.
Yeah, bludgeoned to death.
She mused about, quote, what kind of freedom we could achieve by being willing to confront those who are working against the interests of the community.
As this young fellow was.
What a charming... I've said it before.
What a charming woman.
Mr. Taylor, may I ask real quick?
What did she use to become black?
How did she... What did she use to... Did she just go to a tanning salon?
I don't know.
I don't know.
She has not revealed her secrets.
I should think there'd be quite a market for this.
For those who wish to turn their backs on white privilege and white supremacy.
Isn't that the ultimate way to be an ally to anti-racism?
You'd think so.
Everyone should be forced that.
Skin pigmentation injections.
But she told, in other words, she was saying in a seminar that these people who chopped him into steaks and pork chops with machetes were doing the world a good thing, ridding them of this potential collaborator.
And in fact, she even compared the attack to necklacing.
Oh, Winnie Mandela in America.
In other words, this was the arrival of this wonderful form of justice in the shores of the United States.
Here, the righteous person of color community is turning on a potential collaborator and betrayer and doing him in.
Well, as I say, I think.
I think she deserves recognition and awards.
She should not be cancelled.
She should be glorified and multiplied.
On the other hand, you know, when they say it's a social construct, and then it turns out that it's not.
No, not at all.
Isn't it?
Aren't they in effect saying, well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
It is biological.
She's biologically white.
She's biologically Jewish.
Whatever she is, she ain't black.
And so, whoops, you know, I just don't understand.
But I guess we expected any kind of consistency and coherence.
She was black, Mr. Taylor, when it was beneficial to the black community because she was somebody who boasted wonderful academic credentials.
She went deep undercover as an agent of blackness in this war against whiteness that has to be waged 24-7, 365, to a point where she missed her own white mother's funeral because she was incognito she was
incognito as a black woman I would think that even if she was posing as a black
person as you say she was doing a power of good
Yes!
For persons of color.
And she was both a Caribbean and she was an African and she was Hispanic.
She was, you name it.
I mean, she was someone for everyone.
I think, again, I think she really, really deserves an award, accolades, and an endowed chair at George Washington University.
She's a pioneer.
But what's she gonna do now?
A biracial pioneer?
Is she gonna end up living under a bridge?
Because she got fired.
The poor dear got fired.
And I bet she can't get a job anywhere.
Maybe I'll offer a job on the staff here at American Renaissance.
I'm sure she'd have an unusual perspective.
You should offer her an opportunity to come on to a podcast.
I know that for our listeners out there who are used to Mr. Taylor and myself, I heard that you did a fantastic podcast with the one and only Greg Hood.
He has so many interesting things to say.
Very easy to interview the great Gregory Hood.
But it was apparently was well received and thank all of you who wrote in and said that you liked it.
But many write in and say that they like you too, Mr. Kersey.
Wow.
But moving on, moving on to yet a different story.
This one is called America's race war has begun.
Were you aware of that?
This is by a website called Pit News, based in Pittsburgh.
It's one of these, it's not exactly an ordinary paper and print newspaper, but a substantial website.
And let me read a few lines from it.
While the police killings of Tamarice Michael Gray Freddie Gray, Michael Gray.
They meant Michael Brown, but they wrote Michael Gray.
Bad proofreading here.
Eric Garner and Philando Castile sparked large-scale protests.
They were mostly peaceful.
I thought the last couple of months were mostly peaceful, too.
But now, though, with the police killings of George Floyd and Daniel Prude and the shooting of Jacob Blake, we see the grim reality for our nation currently faces.
This is no longer a movement.
It's an all-out war.
And this is the position of Kartik Kanan.
I couldn't find much about this person.
He's a student at University of Pittsburgh.
I imagine this is a BIPOC.
One of those people of color.
Goes on to write, this race war is an effort against intangible forces.
Institutional racism.
And when you're in a fight against intangible forces, The only way to get at them is by burning and looting.
Makes sense.
Yes.
If you run off with a Cartier bag, you are striking a valiant blow against these intangible forces.
Now, goes on to write, one would think that when confronted with the nation's current treatment of black people, every American would unite to eradicate the racism that allows for this treatment to occur.
What treatment?
I mean, again, I know you and I live in this vastly different world than most people out there.
We pay attention, we recognize patterns, but I really mean I mean, some of the things we're going to talk about later in this episode regarding what the NFL is doing, which is already a league that is 80% black, that has a Rooney Rule created specifically to try and get black coaches hired as head coaches.
What in the world are blacks facing?
Well... Can you tell me that?
Yes, mainly they're facing other blacks.
That is the great threat to blackness.
This guy goes on to say, conservative news media, police forces, and far-right groups seemingly ignore the cause of the violence and looting that they relentlessly attack.
Got to root out racism, and as I say, arson, looting, throwing bottles, firecrackers, and worse, at the police.
That's gonna solve the problem.
He goes on to say, black people will continue to live in fear of the police.
Now here, here's another little tagline of his.
Take what happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
An unarmed Blake was shot in the back seven times, but a heavily armed Kyle Rittenhouse was able to walk the streets without being stopped.
Now, those are so obviously equivalent.
Of course, Blake... Well, anyway, I think all of our readers understand that what Kyle Rittenhouse is doing is perfectly legal, whereas Mr.
Lawful orders after having a fight with the police, going into a car, very likely to retrieve a weapon of some kind, and you just can't take the chance.
And he's going to whiz around with something and end your life.
But anyway, it's all equivalent.
It's all equivalent.
It's not equivalent.
It's worse.
Kyle Rittenhouse being, I suppose he deserved to be shot down in the street because he was heavily armed.
Was he carrying two grenades and a Claymore mine and a 9mm and an AR?
All he had was a rifle.
Whenever it's a white guy, he's heavily armed.
There was some professor who said that the Patriot Prayer member who was gunned down by the Antifa guy in Portland, he deserved it.
It was a fascist being killed.
That's what has to happen.
Well, as I understand, there was quite a celebration at the time of those groups when they heard about it.
A fascist has bitten the dust.
A fascist.
So long as he's dead and we didn't like him.
Fascist.
But anyway, now you have a story about a brass, a bass pro shop shooting of which I was unaware.
This sounds like it's potentially one of those fascinating and important stories that will be completely banned.
We'll never know what motivated this shooter.
A Spanish Fort Police Department discovered... oh, sorry, I lost the story here.
Give me just, uh, give me just two seconds.
Yes, so, no, this sounds like something that we should be paying a great deal of attention to.
Yeah, this is a story that we should not only be paying a great deal of attention to, but it's one that, if you will, give me 20 seconds here, and I will pull it up because our notes, unfortunately, don't have the entire story, but it's right here.
So, basically what happened, we have a situation in Spanish Fort, Where 38-year-old Robert Smith was booked into a Baldwin County Jail.
Noon, this past Monday.
So, initially a mugshot wasn't released, but we knew that he had been identified as a black male from the Grove Hill area.
What state are we talking about?
This is, I believe, is in Florida, I think it's Alabama.
So, there was a second woman who was taken into custody.
Now, this story is so strange because you have to read down to actually understand what was going on.
This guy showed up at a Bass Pro Shop.
Now, you've been to a Bass Pro Shop before.
Talk about the demographics when you look at one.
Not very diverse.
No, they're not very diverse.
Basically, what happened is there was a mass shooting that almost happened.
That's the best way to put it.
It was averted, thankfully.
This guy shows up, a black male, Robert Smith, There's another person with him who was released because apparently, you know, there's no charges pending for that person because they apparently had nothing to do with this ordeal.
She wasn't assisting him, the police chief said.
This is what happened.
The police chief said, quote, he had three AR style weapons.
He had an AR style pistol.
He had a nine millimeter rifle, a shotgun, two nine millimeter pistols, describing the weapons that this gentleman brought with him.
I use that term loosely.
I shouldn't have used that.
They don't have an exact count right now on how many shots were fired, but they recovered at least 30 casings so far and believe they came from three different weapons that Barber fired.
Not one round was fired by the police.
What?
They were all fired by the suspect after they subdued him.
They're still trying to determine what motivated the shooting.
The chief says the two were passing through Florida, but it's not clear why Smith stopped at this outdoor mega-retailer.
And again, if you know the demographics of Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's, they're largely in rural areas where there are predominantly white people.
I used to, you know... Oh, those places.
I used to live right by one.
Yeah, those places.
Bunch of white people.
Badly, badly melon-deprived.
Yes, exactly.
There's not that many people, there's not that many white people pretending to be black in those, like Professor Krug.
So, police are still trying to figure out, like I said, why this guy stopped at this outdoor megastore.
Now, there's a picture, Mr. Taylor, I want to show you this picture of the weapons that they recovered from this guy.
Those are, I wish we could, I wish our listeners here could actually see all the magazines that they recovered.
Didn't he have a thousand rounds of ammo?
He had a thousand rounds of ammo, and here, Mr. Taylor, just so you can see, are the semi-automatic shotguns.
He had a semi-automatic shotgun, he had two semi-automatic AR-15 pistols.
I mean, this guy came with unbelievable firepower!
Apparently, he fired three different weapons on that occasion, and it's a miracle nobody was hit.
He was firing at buildings, apparently, But they have reinforced glass and steel doors.
We didn't get through to them.
It's actually apparently the exterior of the building that prevented the rounds from getting in.
Well, it's fascinating because the police, again, this is one of these stories that, had it been a white guy, this would have been a huge story.
This would have been an opportunity for all the anti-gunners that we saw after the shooting.
what school was it in Florida that like uh uh anyway yeah Lake Lake Lakeland or no that was
the shooting that really neutered the NRA remember Remember all that happened?
I think this is one of those typical shootings where, again, they're not really looking in.
We're not hearing anything about what was motivating this guy.
And as the police chief said, based on the suspect's actions and tools, Tools is the wrong word there, police chief.
These were weapons of mass destruction that this guy was preparing to wield because he wasn't going to use them in a defensive category.
He was going on the offense.
And luckily, they were able to avert what would have been a tragic, tragic mass shooting.
According to this more recent story, I believe, they used a taser to disable him.
Yes.
So he's still alive.
And we may hear from him.
We may yet find out what he was up to.
He is held on bond of $570,000.
So, if they had not actually barricaded him out of the building, they say, you know, waltzed right in there with all of this firepower and who knows how many corpses there'd be.
Here's the money quote from the police chief, quote, normal people don't do what he did yesterday.
So, that had to be some underlying factor, but we are trying to determine that at this point, end quote.
Now, imagine if we find out in about a week And local news story.
I'm reading this from WKRG.com, which is a local CBS affiliate from the area where this happened in Baldwin County.
I'm pretty sure that's actually North Florida.
My point is this.
We might actually find out that this was.
Hypothetically, just saying, Mr. Taylor and dear listener, this was motivated by race.
And I mean, think about what we're going to talk about in a few minutes, the auto zone stabbing, what happened in the jail.
We know that across the country, blacks are being motivated to engage in anti-white attacks.
Oh, they certainly are, and I would not at all be surprised if this is one of those.
But this is really an extraordinary thing.
As I say, I'd heard practically nothing about it, and this is certainly not going to make the evening news.
But fortunately, and I think remarkably, the police showed up.
Here's a guy who'd used several weapons, fired, what, 30, 40 rounds, and they subdued him with only a taser.
Good work for the police.
So yes, he'll go on trial and we'll hear more about just what he was thinking.
At least I hope we will.
But let's see.
And it's because of all this unpleasantness, of course, that some black people in the United States just want out.
And two Georgia women have come together to build a community that will be what they call a place for free Free of oppression.
A tight-knit community for our people to just come and breathe.
They're going to call it Freedom Georgia.
And they drew their inspiration from... Sure enough.
Don't say it.
I will.
Wakanda.
Wakanda!
They're building Wakanda.
Ashley Scott, a realtor from Stonecrest, Georgia.
She was so driven by the horrors of the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery that she went into therapy.
And as a result of several sessions, she realized that her problem was 400 years of racial oppression, which cannot be wiped out in just a few sessions.
Trauma dating back to the establishment of slavery, so she needs a place where she can go jogging Well, so she founded the Freedom Georgia Initiative, a group of 19 black families who collectively bought 97 acres of rural land in Toomsboro.
That's a town of a few hundred people in central Georgia with the intention of developing a self-contained black community.
Apparently, it is undeveloped.
I saw a picture of her with a tent.
Okay.
But Wakanda has got to start small.
The first step in a journey begins with what?
A single step.
A single step.
So, Wakanda begins with a single tent.
As far as I know, no vibranium deposits have yet been found.
But we will have high hopes.
Now, you cannot fault her for lack of ambition.
No.
This is what she says.
You can build your own food systems, build manufacturing and supply chains, build your own homeschool communities, build your own banks and credit unions, build your own cities, build your own police departments.
We can do this.
We can have Wakanda!
These are her very words.
She sounds like a modern-day Marcus Garvey.
Marcus Garvey was a great man.
Marcus Garvey was a great man who I wish had actually succeeded in his mission.
More power, more power to this lady.
And I hope she does very well.
Yes, we should all send contributions.
We should.
We should say, listen, the more people you can get there, you know, start with a tent today and, you know, you can start getting some Some lines of credit, I'm sure.
Think about where all that money that's been donated from corporate America to the Black Lives Matter movement, why aren't they funneling that into this initial phase of Wakandism?
Is that the right word?
And they do need a place where they can jog in peace and not be gunned down like Ahmaud Arbery, which is her mortal fear.
You know, that's a name that I haven't heard since well before the George Floyd uprising.
So I forgot that it even took place in Brunswick, Georgia.
Yes, yes.
Well, they're going to go on trial and the facts will come out.
And once again, there could be an acquittal.
And if there's an acquittal, Oh boy, can't you bar the door?
I think we know that there could be acquittals in a lot of what we've seen recently, including the George Floyd situation.
There sure could.
Well, but we're going to forestall all problems in America, and I'm going to tell you how.
How's that?
Because they're going to change the criteria for awarding Oscars.
Beginning in 2024, the 96th Academy Awards The Film Academy has established four broad categories for diversity in order merely to qualify as a candidate for Best Film.
Now, there's diversity on screen, among the crew, at the studio, and in opportunities for training and development.
So, to be considered for Best Picture, films will have to meet at least two of these four new standards.
To meet the on-screen representation standard, a film must either have at least one lead character, or a significant supporting character from an underrepresented group, At least 30% of secondary roles have to be from two underrepresented groups.
Or, now this is sort of the salvation for monochrome cast, or the main storyline theme or narrative must be focused on an underrepresented group.
Now, underrepresented groups include the following.
Women.
So if it's an all-women show, then it could be all white, I suppose.
Include women, people of color, LGBTQ+.
I'd love to know what goes into the plus.
No, you don't.
Oh, you're right.
You're right.
Or people with disabilities.
So, you could make an all-white movie about a gay nightclub or a wheelchair basketball team.
Or as I say, an all-white movie about women, I suppose.
But nobody's going to try that.
David Rubin, who is the president of the Motion Picture Academy, along with CEO Dawn Hudson, explained what they're doing in a written statement.
We believe these inclusion standards will be a catalyst for long-lasting, essential change in our industry.
That seems to me this yet again proof that in Hollywood, as in so many different areas in the United States, making money is not the only thing.
No, no, making money is.
That's inconsequential.
That's virtue.
Virtue is more important than the bottom line.
So you're going to be putting together, well, something like, something like, now, after all, the Tolkien films Just wouldn't qualify.
You know, it's fascinating that you bring that up.
Think about this.
The Tolkien Lord of the Rings, obviously Amazon, Jeff Bezos bought the rights and there's a picture you can see of everyone that was cast and they have diversified Middle Earth.
The Lord of the Rings movies are, people need to cherish those.
I encourage all of our listeners out there to procure and acquire those films on DVD, especially if you can find the extended versions of both Fellowship of the Two Towers and The Return of the King because those, you know, you actually get to see Peter Jackson's true vision there.
You know, Return of the King, I think, has an hour more footage in it.
And watch, just watch, you can watch the making of these movies, Mr. Taylor.
And that's even more fascinating in some aspects than the movies themselves, because it's just white people.
There are some, Maoris, I guess, Maoris are... Maoris, Maoris.
Yeah, in New Zealand.
Exactly.
And there are some that are helping out behind the scenes on the, you know, on the production staff.
But you watch this and you realize Lord of the Rings might have been the culmination of Of white cinema.
Is that the proper word?
Could be.
It could never be made now.
Well, it certainly could not qualify for Best Picture, and nobody would dare put together any kind of combination of that sort, no matter how beautiful the film, no matter how poetic or inspiring, successful.
And as it turns out, if you want your movie to qualify for Best Picture, you'll have to submit confidential documents that explain how you meet the inclusion standards.
Now, the inclusion standards were developed by a task force that took into account diversity standards used by the British film industry and their British Academy of Film and Television Awards, which have been doing this already for several years.
They've got all of this baked into the industry.
You've got to check all the right boxes.
Now, to me, what more pathetic way To admit that whites make the best movie.
Careful now.
But really, if you've got to go out of your way to say the best movie has got to meet all of these affirmative action requirements, leap over all of these diversity hurdles, through one flaming hoop after another, aren't you saying that if just left to their own devices, white people make the best movies?
Well, you're handicapping cinema.
Exactly.
You're handicapping.
Do you ever read that short story Harrison Burgeon?
Is that what it is?
I don't remember.
Anyways, it basically is about the future where the best people, the best ballet dancers, they have to be handicapped and they get zapped.
Well, that's what's happening here.
You have to handicap cinema because without a handicap these underrepresented groups just can't cut it.
I know you don't like watching a lot of contemporary films, but off the top of my head over the past 20 years, if we think about movies made this century, you're talking about the Lord of the Rings trilogy stands out in the top 10.
I would say, I think Braveheart, I'm sorry, I think Gladiator came out in 2000.
You had the black African slave, the Nubian, who became Maximus's friend and sort of Taught him how to survive as a gladiator.
Think about Master and Commander, a beautiful film.
Think about... The 300.
Think about 300.
There was diversity in that, but it was depicted as wicked and as the force that could destroy democracy.
Think about Troy.
You know, Troy is one of those movies people forget about that came out in 2004.
Well, I watched a contemporary movie just a few nights ago.
What was that?
A Man for All Seasons, made in the 1960s.
That's my idea of contemporary.
That's a great movie, by the way.
It is a great movie.
A Man of Great Integrity.
But, uh, so there you go.
There you go.
Affirmative action in the movies, just like in every other part of our country.
Except in the NFL, there's no affirmative action that I know of, except on management.
Now, you're going to tell us all about the NFL.
I will just go look the other way, or maybe I'll take a walk, make myself a cup of coffee while you talk about the NFL.
The National Football League.
You know, it's fascinating.
I'm a big fan of sports.
I love playing sports, love lifting weights, love being active.
I find myself less and less interested, Mr. Taylor, in investing any time, effort into professional football or collegiate football.
And I'm a guy who's written a lot about this topic.
I've forgotten more than most people will ever know, and that's not saying anything.
I'm embarrassed that I wasted so many brain cells learning and And focusing on fantasy football or this nonsense.
But it's important to see what's going on now, because back in 2015-2016, when Colin Kaepernick started his kneeling, his anti-police, anti-white stances, saying that, you know, we have to decolonize this and be anti-racist, that people were like, what are you talking about?
And then after the George Floyd moment, we basically saw the NFL capitulate.
They acquiesced.
Roger Goodell basically came out and said, we should have listened.
We should have listened.
Well, here's what's happening.
The only reason we're talking about this is because today the 2020 NFL season kicks off.
So the story that I'm going to start with is coaches are allowed to wear anti-racism patches as part of inspire change programs.
So the NFL, which famously opposed any political displays or changes to its basic uniform guidelines for decades, is taking another step away from that.
Now, before I go on, you might recall that in 2016, the Dallas Cowboys wanted to wear a patch on their helmet honoring the five white officers who were killed by the Black Lives Matter terrorists in Dallas.
They really wanted to do that?
They wanted to do it, and they were denied by the NFL to do that, to memorialize those white officers who were shot.
So the League itself said you may not do it.
In 2016, that's correct.
So Commissioner Roger Goodell had previously announced that the League would allow its players to protest during the National Anthem and wear helmet decals supporting the names of victims of systemic racism and police violence.
Last week they announced that CBS reported the league will allow coaches and officials to wear
patches on their hats as part of the NFL inspired change movement, which means this quote,
NFL coaches and officials will wear similar patches on their hats, being able to choose
among one of the four league approved social justice phrases or names of victims of systemic
racism.
Huh.
One of four.
Will we hear about them?
Or should we just imagine?
They're here.
Hold on.
Kansas City Offensive Coordinator Eric Bennemy will wear George Floyd's name on his hat all season, while head coach Adam Gase's entire New York Jets coaching staff has decided collectively to wear Black Lives Matter.
And the 2020 season.
Tracy Blunt, the NFL's Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications, said this, quote, We reached out to players as we were coming back into the season to talk about what are issues that we want to address.
Obviously, social justice and inspire change were a part of that.
When we were talking to players, coaches and officials also wanted to be a part of being able to honor and recognize the victims of systemic racism and draw attention to what It's happening in society right now.
End quote.
I tried to put on my corporate legalese voice there because this is so insane that we're seeing professional sports now having to come up with phraseology where you're bringing in stuff like social justice and systemic racism.
It's a constant billboard for insanity.
That phenomenal piece you wrote, was the title When America Went Mad or what?
Well, I think it was Why America Has Gone Mad.
Why America Has Gone Mad.
That should be the introductory essay, you know, into expunging white guilt 101 from your body, from your mind.
But what's happening here, and I think what we're going to see, I'm going to go out and make a prediction.
I think the NFL is going to see a big ratings hit this year.
We already know that NASCAR and the NBA have taken huge hits for their stats.
Well, tell me, suppose, can the coaching staff refuse to wear any of these?
I suppose that would be a career suicide.
I think coaches could stand up.
I know that there's one, there's a white player, I think his name is Tyler Effort.
He's a tight end.
I don't remember where he plays anymore, but he's going to wear a decal honoring the black police officer who was murdered in St.
Louis.
Oh, that's allowed?
That's allowed.
So he's able to do that.
And I know he's taken some heat.
Hopefully nothing happens to him on the field.
But here's, you know, the NFL's change in policy followed nationwide protests and outrage sparked by, of course, the police killing of George Floyd and further stoked by the latest Blackmail to earn sainthood.
Jacob Blake's shooting last month in Wisconsin.
So the other story is simply this.
We know that the League has committed $250 million over 10 years to causes that work to end racial injustice and systemic racism.
Perhaps they could donate some of that money to Freedom Georgia.
They need more than tents down there.
They've got to find a way to build a supply chain.
Manufacturing, of course.
I think they need a supply chain for all those dollars that have come pouring in now that you've given them that idea.
Yeah, I think it's a great idea.
Well, you know, again, this is an 80% black league that has a policy in place that forces every Franchise that has a vacant head coaching position.
They have to interview a black candidate.
That's the Rooney rule.
They have to regardless of if they want they already know the coach they want to hire.
It's it's a formality.
It's a racial formality.
Here's the other story real quick.
This is like something out of FIFA, you know in Europe, they've got all this in racism nonsense and you know, people who throw bananas on fields are immediately ejected.
Well, here's what we got.
Here's what we got.
I'm ready for it.
The phrase is, end racism, and it takes all of us, will be stenciled in NFL end zones.
End racism?
End racism, and it takes all of us, will be stenciled in NFL end zones this entire season.
End racism.
I think it should say, end black illegitimacy.
Or, how about, end cancer.
Or, gosh, end racism.
Okie doke.
Uh, well, all right.
Here's what, here's what Goodell said.
The quote, the NFL stands with the black community, players, clubs, and fans confronting systemic racism.
We will not relent in our work.
End quote.
Oh, oh, actually wait, here's the memo.
As we continue to amplify and elevate the NFL's ongoing and long commitment to social justice, we will be incorporating several prominent elements on the field into all broadcasts and across league and club platforms to begin the NFL season and beyond.
So we know that they're going to have And racism, it takes all of us as part of their ongoing effort to make football part of this battle to end systemic racism.
They're also going to have approved phrases such as Stop Hate, Black Lives Matter on NFL paraphernalia, and a recorded performance of the Black National Anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing, will be featured in pre-game ceremonies for the first week.
Just the first week?
I actually think it would be.
You can't go back.
Once you give them an inch, they take a mile.
And unfortunately, that mile usually goes to formerly all-white suburbs and not to Freedom, Georgia.
Once you've gone black, you never look back.
Well, golly.
Well, don't tell that to Dr. Krug.
Well, she's having to look back.
Poor girl.
As I say, she deserves an award.
She's a courageous pioneer.
But moving on to Javon Hatchett.
Javon Hatchett.
This is the guy who about a week ago stabbed a white man in an auto zone because he said he'd watched police shootings on Facebook, didn't like what he saw.
We talked about that last week.
Yes, we did.
Yes, we did.
Well, there's more to say about him.
More to say about Javon Hatchett.
And when he was arrested, he told the officers that he wanted to kill white people on cannabis.
Well, he was being held in Muskogee County Jail with a white cellmate.
Uh-oh.
And early Saturday morning, he proved how much he hated white people by beating this man to death.
I didn't know that detail!
The gory scene inside the cell was described as such a bloody mess that the nurse on duty refused to even go
inside.
I didn't know that detail. Holy cow.
And a guard was alerted to the beating by another inmate.
I don't know how long it takes to turn the cell into a bloody mess, but they didn't get to him in time.
And so, this fellow is dead.
He was picked up for a probation violation on September 1st and then housed with this guy.
Do we know what the probation violation was for?
Do we know much about his criminal... It was failing to register as a sex offender.
So he's not the ideal white man, but a probation violation.
They put him in the same room with Jayvon Hatchett.
Now, this was all a failure of communications.
The sheriff of Muskogee County, Donna Tompkins, said that her staff wasn't tipped off in the police reports or any paperwork that Jayvon Hatchett told detectives that he wanted to kill white people.
They didn't know.
And in a reply to a question, she said, Go pull the initial report incident from the Columbus Police Department.
This is Columbus, Georgia.
And it says, she says it's three pages long.
And it states that he stabbed this person at the auto zone.
He gives no reason for that, nor would we know what the reasoning was.
And we did not know.
Now, it seems to be several things are going on here.
First of all, the media, I believe, are just about 99% responsible for the first crime by poisoning this black man's mind against whites so earnestly as they always do.
And second, by paying no attention to this crime.
Not even the people in the same county knew about the crime.
The police show up.
You and I knew about it because we troll the internet for these things.
I read the great Cassandra Fairbanks' story on it, Gateway Pundit.
Yes, but the people at the jail hadn't even heard about this because the media absolutely ignored it right in their neighborhood.
If it had been the other way around, of course, if some boy or the whole world would have known about it and this notorious racist would not have been put in the same cell with a potential victim.
Now, The other thing is that rather intrigues me.
Here's a guy, he's arrested and he tells the arresting officer, I want to kill white people.
Now, doesn't that suggest that there's a racial motivation?
Would that not suggest hate crimes prosecution to you?
Apparently, this was such an irrelevance that they didn't even mention it on the arresting documents.
Didn't even mention it.
Really?
Yes, that's what the sheriff said.
We didn't know.
The officers didn't tell us.
We had no idea.
And so apparently no one had even considered the idea that this might be a hate crime.
But there you go.
So we will see.
We will see if this continues to be ignored in the media.
I feel absolutely positive that it will.
Did he suffer any injuries when he beat this guy to the sex offender to death?
Not that I know of.
He probably got it, caught him by behind, maybe choked him out.
Who knows?
Who knows?
I don't know the details here, but absolutely.
Yes, the nurse, the staff nurse, I don't know if it's a male or female, refused to go in.
It was such a bloody mess.
You talk about how he was motivated, Mr. Taylor, by these videos that he watched on YouTube, police brutality videos.
He's marinating In this vicious anti-white cycle, this top-down.
So I have to wonder, you know, is the media not complicit in creating this racial monster who's racially pugnacious and wants to... The other thing is, these media, these videos apparently of white police brutality, I've watched a lot of these alleged racist incidents And it seems to me, if you look at them carefully, I see no evidence of racism.
Almost invariably, there is a black person who is resisting arrest, and who steals a guy's taser, goes for his gun, actually reaches for his own gun, or tries to get the officer's gun, and then, unfortunately, he gets shot.
But a white guy would be shot under exactly the same circumstances.
And it happens all the time.
Yes, and I'd be curious to know just what these videos were.
Anyway, But, black federal prosecutors to the rescue.
They're going to solve all our racial problems.
Of course they will.
Yes.
And you are going to explain how.
And we're not going to have this kind of J by Hatchet problem anymore.
No, we're not.
Thanks to these black federal prosecutors.
This is a Washington Post story.
I'll just read some of the best excerpts.
You know, it's protests against police brutality and systemic racism.
Again, there's that word.
That's part of our jargon.
That's part of our dialect now.
That's in the air.
It's in the air.
It's this practically visible Visible palpable.
You can smell it.
You can feel it.
It's as if it gives off some sort of electricity that by osmosis that only white people get and somehow causes blacks to, like you said, resist arrest, get shot.
But when whites do it, nobody cares because it's cops doing their job.
So here we go.
Against the protests, as protests against Black police brutality and systemic racism fill streets across the country, a group of Black prosecutors in D.C.
are thinking about how they, too, could take a stand.
They share the outrage of the deaths of St.
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other black people at the hands of police.
Again, this is the Washington Post.
This is a news story.
This is supposed to be a news story.
But you editorialized.
You inserted the word shame.
I did.
I did.
And that was unfair.
It was unfair.
It was unfair.
So, go and say no more.
But demands for change also sparked soul-searching about their own roles in a massive criminal justice system that some have been a part of for decades.
What began with a few emotional phone calls and emails quickly became a more organized effort of heart-wrenching, reflective web meetings, probably by Zoom,
and detailed police policy discussions.
In the end, 32 Black federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C.
signed a 10-page memo to acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin, outlining changes they say
will help ensure prosecutors make the fairest decisions of them all, void of non-legal influences
and biases. Here's what they call for.
Implicit bias training for prosecutors and the end of a strategy for gun crime prosecutions,
they said, disproportionately targets Black communities.
Now, why would that be?
Why would gun crime prosecutions disproportionately target black communities?
I guess you've got to stop prosecuting illegal gun possession, if that's what it takes.
But anyway, yes, please go on.
Yeah, they're going to solve the problem.
They also called for a new focus on alternatives to incarceration.
Perhaps, perhaps, you know, what was it?
The UK, when they got rid of their prisoners, they sent them to Australia and, you know, English prisoners created the economic booming country known as Australia.
You know, perhaps black criminals can be sent to Freedom, Georgia, to Wakanda.
How about Liberia?
There was a time when Louis Farrakhan was proposing that, you know, he says, empty out your prisoners.
I will take black men to Africa.
It's a shame that didn't happen.
It's a shame.
But anyway.
Just real quick, they said the job of a prosecutor should not be confined to an office or courtroom.
Prosecutors should develop relationships in the communities they serve, attend meetings and events, and they should be required to visit the city's jail to better understand the impact on those who are locked up.
And we all know, predominantly, that's people of color, black and brown people.
The memo offers an unprecedented glimpse into the growing angst among prosecutors within the nation's largest U.S.
attorney office and the only such office that handles both local crimes, including homicide, drug cases, and sexual assaults, and federal crimes, including national security and public corruption cases.
So again, we all know we've talked about it ad nauseum.
What George Soros has done in terms of getting DAs positioned all across, strategically positioned all across the country.
We know that the judicial system is being weaponized against anybody.
Think about the Proud Boys.
Think about all these other groups.
What was the one in California?
Rise Above?
Yeah, Rise Above.
I never heard of any of these things.
But they were bad men.
They were bad people who have to be thrown in jail.
But again, criminals or people who are actually committing Mr. Taylor the gun crimes in black communities,
that's not white people and blackface, guys.
I'm sorry to traverse your conspiracy bubble.
It's black, like you said.
It's black lives taking other black lives.
That has to stop.
And I was struck when you said that some of these black federal prosecutors have been in the business for decades, right?
Aren't they part of the problem?
Have they been unconsciously propping up white supremacy?
They've perpetuated a system of systemic racism.
I bet they have.
I bet they have.
Well, boy, shame on them.
Shame on them.
Just goes to show you, my theory is we have racism without racists.
Because we can have systemic racism even with black federal prosecutors.
But anyway, I'm glad to know that they are on the job and they're going to solve the problem.
And I wonder how they're going to react when it has been revealed that, sure enough, Kamala Harris is descended from slave owners.
Her father, Donald Harris, wrote an essay called Reflections of a Jamaican Farmer.
He said he is descended from Hamilton Brown, who gave the name to Brownstown, Jamaica.
And Hamilton Brown owned several plantations over the years and he was the owner of Minard Plantation with 128 slaves.
That's a lot.
128 slaves.
And there is a full accounting of the slaves owned by Hamilton Brown in the archives in London of the parish of St.
Anne in Jamaica.
I saw a image of the list every single one of this beautiful handwriting all their names there they are and I suppose Kamala Harris will go weep on their tombs but she could very well be vice president and then someday president of the United States.
But moving to Chicago The Labor Day in Chicago, the headline was, at least 51 shot, seven fatally.
I love the at least.
That's leaving open the possibility that there are some people shot that we just didn't get around to finding.
Maybe they weren't reported.
But the assumption is that at least all the cadavers are accounted for.
Seven.
It doesn't say at least 51 shot, at least seven fatally.
So, seven fatally.
Now, this is really not a bad tally.
Usually, a three-day weekend has a higher score than that, but it rained all day on Monday.
And Chicagoans just don't like to shoot each other in the rain.
Now, compared to the two previous weekends, as I say, this wasn't so bad.
In the ones before, as I say, Labor Day, 51 shot 7 fatally.
The weekend before, 55 shot 10 fatally.
And in the weekend before that, 66 people shot but only 5 fatally.
So, there you go.
So, Labor Day weekend was not the slaughter that we feared.
But moving on to crime in New York City.
The city recorded 242 shootings in August.
That was up from 91 last year.
That's an increase of 266%.
Say that one more.
Those are numbers you got to say again.
Last year, in the month of August, 91 shootings.
These are not killings.
These are when a bullet hits somebody.
And that's an entire month?
That's in a month, yep.
It was 242 as opposed to 91 for an increase of 266%.
Now, as a result, the city surpassed 1,000 shootings before Labor Day.
And this is in the midst of a terrible ammo shortage.
But this makes the worst year for gun violence since 2015 with four months left to go, Mr. Kersey.
I think we're headed for a wreck.
And since May, that is to say, May, June, July, and August, the city's had 791 shootings, a more than 140% increase over the same period last year, And it has had 180 murders.
That's more than a 50% increase.
So, it's interesting to me.
Shootings are up 140%.
The aim must be terrible because killings are up only 51%.
Now, the public officials are grasping for explanations and asked on last Wednesday about the spike in shootings, Mayor Bill.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city was dealing with a perfect storm and suggested the pandemic.
Was a big part of the problem.
He says, We know that with the entire society on hold for months, all sorts of things got set in motion that were truly unusual.
Now, how come they affected black people?
How come they put black people in motion in a way to start shooting each other, but not others?
And then, of course, the Times did mention in the story the widespread protests against police brutality.
Some people are accusing the police of having pulled back And the police say, nope, not at all.
Their numbers have been thinned by budget cuts and a wave of retirement.
Surprise, surprise.
And at the same time, the people have to cover all of these protests.
Mostly peaceful, but they have to cover them anyway.
And that's why they say violence is on the rise.
But of course, the New York Times writes about these things.
No mention of pigment.
None, none, none.
It's a gun problem.
But now, we don't have much time left, so could you briefly explain what happened to this poor pizza delivery guy?
You know, Dave Ramsey is a financial guru out of Nashville.
He tells people that if you want to get out of debt, get a second job as a pizza delivery driver.
Well, something happened in Lafayette, Indiana.
Joshua Ungersma, he's 37 years old, he was shot and killed while making a routine pizza delivery.
He was shot by a black 17-year-old teenager named Jalen Billups.
That's a girl's name, right?
A black female teenager, yes, sir.
Exactly, Mr. Taylor.
A black 17-year-old killed this 34-year-old?
37-year-old white polita pizza delivery driver.
Now, why this is the story, again, this stuff, this happens a lot, these type of shootings.
Jalen Billups, 17 years old, is facing multiple felony charges including murder, armed robbery, and theft in the killing of this white Lafayette pizza delivery driver.
He was shot making a pizza delivery on August 31st.
A witness told police that he heard gunshots outside.
He said he saw Billups with 19-year-old Alberto Van Meter and Van Meter had been shot.
Ungersma told Gibson that Billups and Demeter had tried to rob him and called the police.
Gibson said he then saw Billups walk up and shoot Ungersma.
Basically, I don't want to say execution style, but if he's just standing there trying to say what happened and then this black teenager just walks up and blows him away.
A black 17-year-old woman walks up and kills him.
Wow, boy.
Ungersma asked someone, a witness said he asked someone to call the police and then Billups just shot him, according to court documents.
Well, snitches get stitches.
Can't call the police.
So this is what was so sad about the story.
He worked at a Domino's and he had a family with a young son and he worked two jobs.
He worked at Payless Shoes, And he worked the late shift with Domino's.
He'd get off work.
One of his co-workers said, quote, he'd get off work at Payless and come over here.
He had a wife, a stepkid and a six month old baby.
And he cared so much.
He cared so much about those kids.
He was always willing to pick up extra shifts, always wanting to work.
Always wanting to work extra hours just so he could take care of his family.
That is life in America.
Welcome to life in America.
Where systemic racism and white privilege worked so well for this guy that he had to work two jobs just to support his family.
Well, that 17-year-old black woman who blew him away, don't forget.
So that justifies it.
But I'm afraid we've come to the end of our time.
That's a very sad story to end on.
I was hoping for something more uplifting.
But ladies and gentlemen, it is always our privilege and pleasure to speak with you.
Thank you.
Thank you for your attention.
And it will be our privilege and pleasure to speak with you next week.
