Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 210 of Radio Renaissance.
This is the 11th day of the 11th month Anno Domini 2020, otherwise known as Armistice Day, and we are delighted to have your attention on this occasion, and I'm also pleased to welcome Paul Kersey.
I'm, of course, Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, your usual hosts And I believe we will start with Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris, who I suspect will be our next Vice President.
Vice President Elect, I think we should say.
Well, as some of the people have been saying, Vice President Select, because certain people think she hasn't properly been elected.
Now, I'm agnostic on that point.
We won't go into that any deeper than need be.
But I suspect she will be our Vice President.
The Los Angeles Times, three days ago, had an intriguing headline.
It was, Why Kamala Harris Could Become an Unapologetically Black Vice President.
It was written by a lady who shares her pigmentation, and the subhead was, We will have a vice president who looks like me, black like me, and a woman like me.
And this person wrote, after enduring four long years of ruthless attacks on everything having to do with my race and my gender, etc.
etc.
Now, can you name a single ruthless attack on anything having to do with her race or sex?
You're referring to President Trump, Vice President Biden, his administration, correct?
Well, I assume that's what she means, or whatever else is happening in the country.
No, there have been four long years of ruthless attacks on blacks and women, says she.
Well, she says, now this could be the first time in American history that the election of the Vice President Would be more historic than the election of the president.
Has she, in fact, forgotten that there was a time when we actually elected a black president?
I think that happened in 2008.
Inaugurated January 20th, 2009.
That was my impression too.
Well, she has an explanation for this.
She says that in 2008 when Barack Obama was elected, he had an impossibly fine line to walk simply because he was the first.
He was forced to fit into a box in order to succeed.
But now, Americans are more used to seeing black people being unapologetically black.
So, Kamala can stretch her wings and really be blackity black black.
And, this lady says, when Harris takes the oath of office in January, expect it to be unapologetically black.
I'm talking about Black Lives Matter flags and t-shirts up and down the National Mall, and don't be alarmed when thousands of black women start screaming, Ski Wee!
Ski Wee!
Pardon, pardon.
Yes?
What does that mean?
I suspect many of our dear listeners are wondering, what does skee-wee mean?
Well, this is because she, Kamala Harris, is an alumna of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Historically Black Society.
She joined it when she was in Howard University, and skee-wee is how AKAs greet each other.
So, ladies and gentlemen, Ski Wee.
Alpha Kappa Alpha, okay.
Ski Wee.
Yep, that's right.
I'll stick with Phi Mu's instead of A K A's.
Well, in any case, now apparently we're used to seeing black people more unapologetically black.
Poor old Barack Obama, he was a bit of a phony when it came to being black.
But, as Kamala Harris said last year on The Breakfast Club, I'm black, and I'm proud of being black.
I was born black, I will die black, and I'm not going to make excuses for anybody because they don't understand.
This is what progress looks like.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I don't understand.
Aren't we all Americans?
Isn't that, I mean, black, white, red, yellow, blue?
Aren't we all Americans?
Well, I guess I just don't understand.
Well, maybe, you know, maybe the author of this op-ed doesn't understand because the idea of being proud and black goes certainly back well before Kamala Harris.
Do you remember a song that the chorus was, say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud?
I don't remember that song.
You don't remember that?
I don't.
You're dating me.
That was a big hit.
James Brown, 1968.
A little before your time.
A lot before my time.
But somehow, somehow, now we're allowed to say that we're black and we're proud.
Well, we've been saying that for a long time.
And 1968 was the year that Tommy Smith and John Carlos in the 68 Olympics After having won medals, they thrust their black fists in the air and looked down at the ground when the Star Spangled Banner was played.
Now, if we really want to be realistic, if we're going to talk about, I'm black and I'm proud to be black, and I'm going to make no excuses for anybody because he doesn't understand, I think the statement we have to make excuses for if somebody doesn't understand is, It's okay to be white.
That's the one that we have to make excuses for and nobody understands.
But this is a new era.
A new era.
Yep.
Now, assuming we do get a Biden and Harris administration, and I realize that many of our listeners are convinced that it would be illegitimate if we did, but I suspect that that's what we're going to end up with, wrongly or rightly, we can look forward or we can expect certain changes in immigration policy.
We can expect a lot of things.
We've already seen President-elect Biden.
We're going to call him that.
You know, AR?
Hey, I don't think we've called the election yet, but as you use that word, agnostic to what's going on, because it really doesn't pertain to us.
No.
It's up to the various state legislatures and those who are actually doing the forensics on all these ballots.
However, we do know that one of the first acts President Biden's going to do, Mr. Taylor, Is get rid of that whole 1776 commission that President Trump instituted by executive order and reinstitute critical race theory white privilege classes.
Oh, yes.
At the federal level.
I predicted that with 100% confidence.
We also know because Reuters reported this today that Joe Biden's presidential win has raised hopes of resettlement.
For refugees from Asia to Africa, many countries where they are denied work and education have no formal status.
That's the opening line of this article.
Their mouths are watering.
Oh, well, we know that the United States has for years taken in tens of thousands of refugees who were unable to return home or make a new life in the country where they sought asylum under a process known as third country resettlement.
Of course, under President Trump, admissions plunged from 85,000 in 2016 The 30,000 last year official data shows.
President-elect Biden.
President-elect Biden.
Let's just say Biden.
We'll call him Biden.
Biden has promised to lift this quota.
It's raised the hopes of millions languishing in camps or resettlement or settlements around the world.
And this Reuters article concentrates on someone named Joseph, probably for the biblical connotation, a refugee from one of Myanmar's ethnic minorities.
Myanmar.
What used to be Burma.
Myanmar.
Sorry, I can't see.
The N is misplaced here in my dyslexia.
Ethnic minorities who fled Malaysia in 2007.
Here's what Joseph said, quote, I'm hoping for a better future.
I lost all my hopes for resettlement in the last four years.
He asked not to be identified in full, so I'm sure Joseph is just a nice non-diplom.
That's a traditional Rohingya name.
Yes, I'm sure it is.
He said this, quote, We can be arrested anytime if we work.
We have no legal protections, no future here, end quote.
Well, Joseph, If Biden is inaugurated on January 20th, 2021, I'm sure you and hundreds of thousands like you will find protection in probably the suburbs of Atlanta, maybe the suburbs of Houston.
You'll be resettled and fed and it'll be a wonderful life.
And what else does Mr. Biden have in store for us?
Well, what else does President Biden have in store?
We know that he said that he would raise the annual ceiling for refugee admissions to 125,000.
He's not indicated how quickly that's going to be.
Another article appeared today which says Biden plans sweeping reversals of Trump's immigration agenda.
Now, a lot of people out there were holding out hope that you recall what Steve Miller said what they were going to do in the second term.
Birthright, citizenship, all sorts of stuff.
It's like, well, you guys, you could have done that day one of this first term.
However, President Trump did do a lot of good things.
And here's what President, here's what Mr. Biden plans to do if he is inaugurated.
After he's sworn in in January, his administration will move to fully restore an Obama-era program that shields 640,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought here to the United States as children from deportation.
The incoming administration also intends to rescind President Trump's travel and immigration restrictions on 13 mostly African or predominantly Muslim countries.
Come on, come on.
Yes, exactly.
Joseph there, you're welcome to come on and you can use your real name when you're in America.
Mr. Biden will look to implement a 100-day freeze on deportations while his administration issues guidance Narine, who can be arrested by immigration agents.
Now this is really something.
Nobody's going to be deported for a hundred days.
A hundred day freeze on deportation.
While we're making up our mind which illegals we're going to deport, is he going to limit ICE to only those illegals who are pointing a gun at an ICE agent?
Or, you know, they're probably good citizens.
No, again, your question, it doesn't matter.
A hundred day freeze on deportations.
So the Obama era memo that prioritized the deportation of immigrants with criminal convictions, recent border crossers, and those who enter the country illegally more than once, this was scrapped by President Trump back in 2017 so that no unauthorized immigrant would be exempted from being arrested and removed from the country.
Sensible.
Same.
Logical.
Just the fact that they got away with it for six months or a year, that doesn't suddenly mean that they are legal.
But that's, in effect, what this is saying.
If you can get in and you can get away with it, then you're home free.
Here's the last thing that this article says that we'll talk about.
A source familiar with Mr. Biden's plan said new guidance would be designed to curb so-called quote collateral arrests unquote which are apprehensions of
immigrants who are not the target of U.S. immigration and customs enforcement ICE
operations but are nevertheless taken into custody because they are in the country without legal
status. In other words if you arrest a hatchet murderer and he's there with his illegal alien
girlfriend she gets to stay because she wasn't the target. Okay we understand.
Exactly.
I think a lot of these ICE detainers that we've talked about, where certain jurisdictions won't comply, basically it's just going to be the President now is saying, in effect, you know what, ICE, we're not going to abolish you yet.
I know that might be to an extreme a position.
We saw that there was somewhat of a red wave that did actually usher in a lot of Republicans into the House.
We're a little worried about a lot of these state legislators being taken over.
We'll cool the language on getting rid of ICE and maybe defunding the police for, I'll tell you what, we'll table it for maybe eight more years until the demographics can shift where Georgia, Florida, Texas are all firmly Democrat.
But in the meantime, we'll just tie your hands.
Exactly.
We'll tie your hands and we'll also say, hey, 100 day freeze.
And then we'll take you out and shoot you.
Ah, dear me.
Okay, well, you know, something else I suspect that we can look forward to in a Biden-Harris administration, and that is racial preferences for the COVID vaccine.
Oh, yes.
You know, they've been announcing great progress in the vaccine, and as Lawrence Gostin, who is a professor of global health law at Georgetown University explains, Having a racial preference for COVID-19 vaccine is not only ethically permissible, but it's an ethical imperative.
And I believe a new administration would agree 100%.
He goes on to say the reason is both because of historic structural racism and because COVID-19 has so disproportionately impacted the lives of people of color.
So, assuming we get a functioning and readily available vaccine, you, Mr. Kersey, you're in the back of the bus.
It's going to go to people of color.
I identify as a person of color, though.
I identify as a BIPOC, don't you?
Too bad.
Too bad.
This is the one thing that's biological in all of American society.
That and being a homosexual.
That you can claim is biological.
Now, these ethically fanatical Professors do concede that there might be legal objections.
Legally, they say, a public health agency could not simply say to a white person, no, no, you're the wrong color, you ain't getting the vaccine.
So they're gonna have to think of some clever way to get around this.
But you could claim you're an essential worker.
I don't know.
But maybe old people, are they going to get a chance?
Are they going to get any kind of priority?
I guess if they're old and BIPOC.
In any case, I would bet you any amount of money that a Biden-Harris administration will definitely factor race into all of this.
So they will get priority over You, Mr. Kersey.
Well, they'll prioritize spending a lot of the money that is state-backed, that is federally backed, by putting it in hospitals in areas like, say, Detroit, downtown Atlanta, Baltimore, New York City.
They're going to find certain zip codes that just happen to have...
Plenty of BIPOCs.
A high concentration of BIPOCs.
A high concentration.
And, of course, the politicians, they won't wait, even if they're white, even if they're young.
They'll get it.
They're family and friends.
They ain't going to wait in line.
And you think Bill Gates and Mr. Zuckerberg and Tim Cook are going to wait in line while blacks get their vaccines?
If, of course, they want the vaccine.
Of course not.
The people who are going to suffer are ordinary white folks.
Too bad.
Back of the bus.
Now another bit of inspiring news.
You will remember Trayvon Martin.
I think probably all year in life you will never forget Trayvon Martin.
That name is seared into your memory until the day you die.
You will recall the 2012 shooting in which George Zimmerman sent him to his grave.
Well, a portion of the road leading to the Florida High School where he attended has been renamed in his honor.
It's to be called Trayvon Martin Avenue.
Wow!
Trayvon Martin Avenue, because his death helped inspire the Black Lives Matter movement.
He attended something called the Dr. Michael M. Kropp High School, and the unveiling ceremony took place just last week where he was an 11th grade student.
And as Adam Kosnitzky, the principal of the high school, explains, our students every morning will come out here and see the road that bears Trayvon's name.
His name will continue forever.
Now, it required... Give it one moment, one moment.
I mean, this is only in 2020, a year where we've seen such strange things happen.
Could we once again see something even stranger take place?
Well, I have given up.
I have given up thinking that no more strange things can happen.
Every year, practically every day, I see something stranger that I would never have imagined the day or the year before.
Now, it took a resolution by the Miami-Dade County Commission to change the name of the street, and you'll be pleased to know the vote was unanimous.
Nobody could dare say, I better... I've got to go along with the crowd.
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Barbara Jordan, who is, needless to say, one of our African-American fellow citizens.
At the street name-changing ceremony, she said, his giving his life gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.
It is critical that we recognize that and pay tribute to him.
And she gave Martin's parents replicas of the street signs.
Yes.
Now, this is a great honor, needless to say.
But, you know, ultimately, this is such a sad thing.
This is a guy who was a thug, as you know.
He attacked this guy.
He attacked Zimmerman, knocked him down, was about to beat him to, who knows, certainly to a pulp, maybe to death.
And a jury, in its wisdom and its bliss, determined that it was self-defense, so here's this thug who attacks a white guy, or a white Hispanic, whichever way we wish to describe him, gets himself killed.
And he's a hero.
You know, it is just so sad.
Do blacks really have nobody else they can name streets after?
Well, what makes me sad is that people will always tell you, gosh, if I could go back in time and be at, say, you know, I've always told people if I could go back in time, I'd love to be when John Brown was hanged because of who all was there.
Robert E Lee was there.
John Wilkes Booth was actually at the hanging of John Brown.
But you know what?
I take it back.
Stonewall Jackson.
Stonewall Jackson was there.
I take it back though.
Yes.
I wish I could have been at this unveiling of the street.
What a moment.
What a monumental moment in American history, Mr. Taylor.
I think there are plenty of other historical events I would prefer to witness.
But anyway, to each his own.
But this was a great moment in American history.
Trayvon Martin Avenue.
So it will last longer than you and me.
Well, let's hope that Canfield Drive in Ferguson, Missouri will soon be renamed Michael Brown Way.
Or that's where... Michael Brown Boulevard!
Michael Brown Boulevard.
I like that.
Yes, yes.
MBB.
Yes.
Well, and I believe you have another development.
This one pertaining to reality TV, a form of entertainment with which I am totally unfamiliar.
But you are more familiar with this sort of thing than I, so please, Give us the latest.
Well, the court has been cut, but I can tell you that a lot of people are still watching CBS, and CBS has pledged Survivor, Big Brother cast, will now be 50% people of color.
50%.
At least 50%.
It's going to be at least 50%.
That threshold is going to continue to rise.
We'll see if ratings can start to drop and people start to tune out, but for the time being, that doesn't matter.
They've gotten a lot of congratulatory headlines because they've made a commitment To diversity, and as happens quite often when you make a commitment to diversity, what are you doing?
You never go back, that's for sure.
You never go back, but you are basically illuminating spots.
Illuminating spots for potential white contestants.
It's fascinating to watch this.
CBS announced a new diversity pledge that will have a visible impact on its staple of reality shows.
Now again, I think I saw one episode of Survivor back in 1999, the first season when everybody was talking about it.
There have been subsequently how many seasons, but this means that Survivor, Big Brother, Love Island will be far more diverse starting with the 2021-2022 seasons.
The reason for this comes from George Cheeks, who's the President and Chief Executive Officer for CBS Entertainment Group.
He said this, quote, The reality TV genre is an area that's especially underrepresented and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production, and all phases of storytelling.
As we strive to improve all of these creative aspects, the commitments announced today are important first steps.
in sourcing new voices to create content and further expanding the diversity of our unscripted programming as well as on our network."
Now, it's interesting, they actually had something called the Black Survivor Alliance that was created with the goal of bringing light to our collective experience With implicit bias and racism on and off the show.
These are people, blacks, who were on Survivor.
Who were on the show Survivor.
And they were victims of implicit bias and racism on and off the show.
Yeah, basically they tried to make this big deal where they uh...
They had to say things like, oh my gosh, you know, we were, we didn't win the show because of this.
It was, the show had this, you know, structural inequality set in place that promoted the interests of the white contestants above our own.
Well, I have a question for you.
Has Black Entertainment Television, have they announced quotas for white people?
I don't think BET.
I'm not that familiar with BET's programming, I must confess, but I can tell you that, again, not only these are quotas, this is an initiative that CBS has undergone for a number of years because, I think it was four or five years ago, they were criticized because their lineup was Let's just say as white as the freshly fallen snow in Calgary, Alberta, Canada right now.
And they needed to have diversity, so they've done everything they can by creating shows like The Neighborhood, All Rise, SWAT, FBI, where these are scripted shows where they are doing everything they can to have as much diversity.
As opposed to these, I don't like the term, but we'll use it, lily-white scripted programs that they have?
Hideously white.
That's the term the BBC used, you know.
They confessed to being hideously white.
Well, you know, it's intriguing to me.
The country is not 50% BIPOC.
The country is only really about 35-38% BIPOC, so they'll be all over-represented now.
Oh yeah.
But I'm sure there'll still be a Black Survivor Alliance that complains about implicit bias and racism, explicit bias and racism anyway.
So God bless BET and CBS and all the rest.
You have to wonder, and this is a question that I know you won't truly care about from an entertainment standpoint, but is the rush to cut the cord, which is denying, as we talked about last week with ESPN letting go of 500 people, Is this rush that's happening to cut the cord?
Are these, say, white households who are just tired of all this diversity and they can then decide what they're going
to watch on streaming services?
If it's old syndicated shows like Friends or Frasier where there's a paucity of people of color.
Mr. Kersey, those data will never be public.
Anyway, I have a little vignette from election night.
This is old news only coming out and has to do with a pharmacy in Oakland.
The High Street Pharmacy.
They've been there for 73 years serving the community.
Well, on election night, several men Melanin super enhanced showed up just after 10 30 p.m.
With a blowtorch and cut their way through the metal back door.
These people were no fools.
It was basically an armored pharmacy.
And then once they got in, this is Oakland.
This is Oakland.
For five hours, for five hours, There was looting and sacking, destruction.
The place looked like a tornado had hit it once our African-American fellow citizens got finished with it.
And, intriguingly, there is lots of high-quality video because they had surveillance cameras all around the place.
And as soon as these folks showed up with their blowtorch, there were calls to 911.
The neighbors said, look what's happening.
They had an alarm service.
The alarm service called the police.
For five hours, they sat on their hands, while this place was wrecked, just wrecked.
Now, I found this intriguing, and so I did a little background data on Oakland,
California.
And you will be intrigued to know that the police department is only 34% white.
That means the rest are BIPOC.
Yeah.
And...
66% BIPOC.
That's right.
The police department is the same way.
Very heavily, heavily BIPOC.
So those are just coincidences, I'm sure.
But five hours to see this thing being ransacked.
And this was, as I say, a 73-year-old beloved pharmacy.
Once again, As I've said before, they're going to be drug deserts in some of these places.
Drug deserts!
Drug deserts, food deserts, fast food deserts, grocery store deserts, you know, Applebee's deserts, Chili's deserts.
Yep, yep, civilization deserts, you know, white man deserts.
Ah, it's gonna be bad, but they're gonna have to tough it out.
Now, I have a specially encouraging news from the Rhode Island School of Design.
This is a well-regarded art school, design school.
Well, it has taken dramatic steps forward by launching a job search for no fewer than 10 new faculty members specializing in race, decolonization, and cultural representation.
So, when you're studying art... What were those again?
Race, decolonization.
But you see, you think of decolonization as the Congo gets self-rule.
No, no, no, no, no, Mr. Kersey.
Decolonization means revamping everything in terms of decolonization.
You've got to decolonize art, you've got to decolonize the churches, you've got to decolonize your own mind.
That's where it starts.
In any case, As the president of the place, Roseanne Somerson, explained, in order to create a more racially just Rhode Island School of Design, we must do more than simply combat racism where we find it.
They're going to do more than that?
I mean, that seems like enough to me.
We must be proactively anti-racist in principle and practice and make consequential, scaled changes throughout the institution.
Scaled?
Is that any different from scaly?
They're going to be scaled changes.
All right.
They're going to increase recruitment, enrollment of students of color, and they're going to hire these academics, and I'm quoting from their press release, whose practice centers on issues of race and decoloniality in art and design.
Decoloniality!
That's a new one on me.
But in these exciting times, we have to have new words for our new way of thinking.
Well, this reminds me, with your Yale degree, remember what happened at the beginning of the year with Vincent Scully and the Eurocentric Art history curriculum was scrapped.
It was pivoted away from.
That's right.
Because, well, it was celebrating too many pale faces.
That's right.
And the melanin, I believe you used the word, super enhanced?
Oh, the fellas who showed up with a blowtorch.
You know, they're on high-res, high-res cameras.
Oh, they were really the cream of the crop.
They're insufficiently praised.
And of course, Vincent Scully, I actually picked up a couple of his books.
I think you said you did not Alas, I did not take his course.
That was one of the great shameful episodes of my career there.
I would have learned a whole lot of art history, which I regret not having learned.
But let me finish up with the Rhode Island School of Design.
It's now, because of the prolonged lockdown, it's facing a $50 million deficit.
But you'll be relieved to know that these new hires, these 10 new faculty positions, are funded by one of the largest anonymous donations in the institution's history, specifically to hire these decolonizers.
Now, I suspect this anonymous person is probably very heavily, sorely, severely lacking in melanin, but that's just a guess.
And the gift will cover the first five years of these faculty members' salaries, but I ask you, while it's running a deficit, what happens when the money runs out?
Do you think they will ever bring themselves to sack these people?
I suspect not.
Now, in New York, ladies and gentlemen, Both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum have unveiled new equity and diversity plans following allegations of
A toxic workplace culture.
In other words, toxic.
As soon as a black person walks in, breathing the air, he is just seized by this nephitic atmosphere.
It's toxic.
It's poisonous.
That's what we learned about Survivor and Big Brother on CBS.
I guess so.
I guess so.
They just couldn't survive.
Dying like flies.
Now, back to questions of crime.
It's a question to which you return from time to time because there's just so much of it and it's so interesting.
There was analysis of Baltimore by something called the Crime Prevention Research Center.
And they found a number of interesting and not entirely surprising things.
And that is that 82% of murder victims have a criminal record.
82%.
82%!
That means 18% didn't have a record!
Fantastic!
That's cause for celebration.
That's astounding.
Now, guess what the average number of arrests was for these victims of homicide.
I mean, have a go at it.
Average number of arrests, 82% have a criminal record.
I am going to go with 6.
And I've not seen the story, I'm just going to guess 6.
11.
11?
Yes.
Okay.
44% had an arrest for gun crimes.
44% of the dead people.
No, no, this is the victims.
Exactly, exactly.
29% were known to the police as members of drug crews or gangs.
These are not unfamiliar characters.
That's actually a very low number.
That's a lower number if you think about it.
You'd think that these people are getting knocked off.
And the other thing is, the 18% who had no known criminal record, My suspicion is not a one of them was really entirely innocent.
They probably did things for which they should have had a criminal record.
Well, you do hear stories out of Baltimore of some member of the white working class being shot.
Those would be the exception.
And, now, information on the suspects is much less complete.
Now, can you guess why that is?
Because there's such a low clearance rate in Baltimore.
It's under 40%, I believe, right?
It's under 40%, I believe, right?
It is 31%.
It is 31%.
OK.
Only 31% result in an arrest.
So you know, there are people out there blazing away.
If you kill somebody in Baltimore, you've got a better than two-thirds chance of getting away with it.
And my knowledge of Baltimore, I believe they're averaging about 320 murders a year over the past three years?
Last year, 348.
Okay.
348. 348 murders.
348 murders.
And so, yes, but of the suspects that we know about, 81% had a criminal record.
And that should be considered a severe underestimate, given the ones who got away.
I mean, by the time you have killed somebody and got away, you should have a criminal record.
Think about that for a second.
In 2019, there were 340 murders.
You said 31% clearance rate.
That's roughly what, 95 of the murderers?
Something like that.
Have been apprehended and prosecuted?
That's right, that's right.
The rest of them, you know, people are just sashaying off to wherever it is they live, you know, with a hey nani nani.
And, you know, they will probably walk around forever.
And a ho ho ho.
That's right.
Well, probably a yo yo yo!
Listen, all I can say to that is Black Lives Matter, right?
Well, of course they do, of course they do.
You know, we have no information from this study on race.
Nope.
But I looked up elsewhere, and of these 348 murders in 2019, of the race of the victims for whom the race is known, And there are quite a few who, I don't know why they can't figure out the race, I should think just looking at the corpse you'd know what the race was, but the ones that are on record were 92% black.
So, you know, all these criminal records, in a way, these criminals who are doing the killing are sort of doing the jobs of the police.
I probably shouldn't put it in those terms but there is a certain justice in these people being knocked off but I thought this was an intriguing analysis.
Criminals killing criminals is what it boils down to.
I believe you have a story from Orlando, and they're going to solve the problem.
All this is going to be taken care of by the Orlando approach.
Think about that.
2020 has been such a fascinating year because we had the George Floyd stuff happen.
We saw this push immediately to defund the police.
We know that homicides are up tremendously in Minneapolis.
We also received a concerted effort by Democrat-controlled major cities that control all aspects of
the government to basically put oversight committees to handcuff the police, Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
And they're going to have all sorts of new ways of sending social workers and resolution experts to the crime scene to make sure it never even happens to begin with.
De Blasio announced that today, that they're going to be doing that in New York City.
And one thing that I just thought of, you know, one of the great things that the Trump administration did was they slowed down these consent decrees that were being put on police departments nationwide.
That's what the great Attorney General Jeff Sessions, one of his initial acts, That will be axed immediately and consent decrees will be slapped on these cities and make your head spin.
I was just going to axe you about that.
Easy now, easy now.
You've already said melanin super enhanced.
So, out of Orlando, there's this story that I saw, clickorlando.com, the subject, the title was, New Citizen Safety Task Force Pledges to Take Solutions to Community Gun Violence.
I'm just going to read some of the great lines from this, because this would have been one of those, just like the unveiling of the Trayvon Martin, was it Way?
Trayvon Martin Lane?
Trayvon Martin Avenue.
He'll have a natatorium named after him, like Martin Luther King in Atlanta pretty soon, an aquatic center.
Well, no, it'll be some sort of flying center, because he was interested in aviation.
That's right!
Remember, there was a local flight university that gave him a posthumous B.A.
Damn!
Do you remember that?
So, he is, he has an official B.A.
He was awarded to him while he was still in the grave.
I'm sure in 20 years, I'm sure he'll be retconned.
I've actually been the grandson of a Tuskegee Airman as well.
So, anyways.
This Citizen Safety Task Force had their first meeting last Friday.
It's made up of 30 members who all took a pledge to take on tough topics in relation to gun violence that's ravaging Orlando.
It's a result of seven shootings involving teens and children under the age of 17 in recent months.
One of those names is Da'Quan Felix and Da'Quarvious Fudge, a 14 year old who was shot.
Da'Quarvious?
Gosh.
Da'Quarvious.
In each of these cases Orange County Sheriff John Mina reported they had received only six crime line tips or less.
These cases are still, they haven't been cleared.
No one knows who the murderer of, uh, D'Aquarius Fudge is.
A 14 year old.
Yes, this really is tragic.
Or Daquan Felix, who is, by the way, he was three.
Three?!
Three year old Daquan Felix.
A three year old child gets killed and nobody wants to tell the police about it.
All they got is six steps.
This is, this is, again, go ahead and keep telling us Black Lives Matter because you know what, if they did, This poor little kid named Dequan Felix, the individual who took his life, would have been brought to justice immediately.
Somebody would have, you know... Three years old!
It's even hard to qualify that.
Quote the Orlando Police Chief...
Yeah, he said this, quote, The community working with the agencies, working with all the parties involved in the process is key.
We have to make sure we do our part to provide that same message, the right message, especially to our youth.
Well, you know, shootings, homicides are up 22% in 2020 in Orange County, where Orlando is.
Deputies have made 246 gang related arrests and got more than 1,200 guns off the street.
But here's the problem about this.
This task force quickly got away from the whole point of actually going after the guns and decided, hey,
the real problem are the cops.
Here's the quotes we get.
Task force member TJ Legacy Cole said this, quote, it seemed like the reports were targeting heavily populated
African-American areas.
Another writer for this presentation, community activists and task force members, challenged the law enforcement leaders in conversation on broadly using the term gangs.
Obviously, that has some sort of Racial connotation that, you know, the melanin super enhanced immediately find repulsive.
It's a racist term.
Well, it reminds me that the gang database in Chicago had to be abolished because there were too many blacks and too many Hispanics on, but sorry.
Just to finish off here.
Here's what Michael Scott.
Not the Michael Scott of The Office fame, but he's the organization's, he heads My Brother's Keeper in Orlando.
He said this, quote, you have to be careful when using that broad scope in terms of gangs.
If I hang with the bad guy and you say I'm a gang member, I'm not.
And you put pictures and tell folks.
I'm this kind of person, and I'm part of the solution.
Why would I want to communicate with you?"
Mr. Taylor, this brings us back to that tried and true.
It's the police's job to have positive relations with the community.
Without that, that's the reason why black people are so quick to draw and shoot one another.
It's the presence of the police that make them shoot each other.
I guess that's the logic.
That's all there is to it.
And if they are withdrawn then all will be well.
Well, I'm glad that this task force in Orlando is going to solve the problem.
Well, on the subject of the word gang being racist, Ibram X. Kendi, our new anti-racist hero.
Our intellectual overlord.
Oh boy.
May I correct you?
Well, I'm not sure I'd call him an overlord, but he's certainly a darling.
Hey, he got a $10 million grant from Jack.
Dorsey.
Yes, he did.
A Twitter fan.
Yes, he did.
To found the Boston University Center for Anti-Racist Research.
I thought he'd got anti-racism figured out already, but he needs another 10 million dollars really to get to the bottom of anti-racism.
But you were talking about how the word gangs is racist.
Well, Ibram Kendi, as you'll recall, he's the lad who said that Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett had adopted two Haitian children in order to shield herself from accusations of racism.
This was just a display of just using them as tokens to say, I'm not the vicious white woman you think I am.
Well, he has gone on to say that in this controversy over the counting, the recount, possible recount election, that the term legal vote is racist.
The word legal vote.
That's racist.
It's just as racist as terms like illegal alien.
Did you know that was a racist word?
I was aware, yeah.
Race neutral.
That's a racist word.
Race neutral is a racist word now.
Yes.
Now, handouts.
Handouts.
That's talking about welfare programs.
That's racist.
Crack baby.
Crack baby is racist.
There's no such thing as a crack baby, apparently.
Or if you talk about, I mean, what are you supposed to call a crack baby?
In any case, if you use that term, it's racist.
Now, this is my favorite.
Personal responsibility.
Personal responsibility.
That term is racist.
Personal responsibility now is racist.
An individual... It's just as racist as the term legal vote.
Okay.
So, now you know.
You better not use the term personal responsibility.
Well, I learned from Professor Crunk.
I think her name is Brittany Cooper.
Is she at Rutgers?
The corpulent black professor who she said time was racist.
Remember that?
Time?
Time is racist.
I didn't remember that.
Time waits for no man.
I guess time waits in particular for no black man.
Is that the problem?
I didn't recall time being racist, but you remember these things better than I. I wish I didn't sometimes.
Well, moving to a bit of good news.
We have a report from the Moderate Party in Sweden.
Okay.
The party dates back over a hundred years.
It's had a few name changes.
It was known as the Right Party, R-I-G-H-T, and also the Conservative Party.
But it's been one of the traditional heavyweights in Swedish politics for nigh a century.
And in modern times, The moderate party has led the government in the 1990s under a Prime Minister Carl Bildt, and from 2006 to 2012 under Prime Minister Frederick Reinfeldt.
So, it's a heavyweight party.
Now, it's got a new leader named Ulf Christersen.
Ulf.
I always wanted to have the name Ulf.
In any case, Ulf says social development in Sweden is heading in the wrong direction and immigration must be sharply reduced.
He says we have daily shootings and explosions, police who recommend parents to accompany their children home from school, criminal gangs that set up roadblocks.
This is pure system-threatening crime.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
And hats off to Ulf.
Now this is his full statement.
Well, a few sentences.
I think it's worth reading because this expresses a dissident point of view in the terms that are palatable under today's obligatory political correct views.
He says, if we want to seriously break segregation, stop crime, and ensure that everyone who comes here learns Swedish and becomes self-sufficient, we must greatly reduce immigration.
Then he goes on to say, we basically believe in international openness and know that Sweden has a responsibility for how things go for people in a broken world.
You missed!
But, hold on, but we have full responsibility for how things go here at home in Sweden.
And Swedish integration problems are simply too big.
So he's saying, in effect, Sweden first.
We've got our own problems, we let in too bloody many of these people, and so we've got to do an about-face.
Ironically, It was under the moderate party's Friedrich Reinfeldt.
He had an open hearts administration, which was like open heart surgery on the country, I suppose.
Open hearts, and they embraced mass immigration during this period, that included 2015.
And that was what really brought in a huge number of non-white immigrants.
Well, Ulf Kristersson, he says that was wrong.
We got to stop this.
And it is the largest opposition party and the Sweden Democrats and they We have together 132 seats, 38% of the parliament.
Sweden Democrats, that's Jimmy Atkinson's party, they've been even more staunch on this question.
So I find this highly encouraging, especially because Sweden, of all the Scandinavian countries, has been the slowest to really adopt any sensible policies on immigration.
The Danes, number one, they've been pretty good by and large.
And the Norwegians next in line, the Swedes have been really the last for their eyes to open and they of course took in a huge number of immigrants and now they're suddenly discovering maybe that was a bad idea.
Well, as we discovered in the 2020 election, one of the states that actually reversed course in terms of white support for Donald J. Trump, which he almost won in 2016, had Evan McMullin not run, but Minnesota, where there are, I believe, the largest concentration of Swedish-descended Americans.
There's something a little bit brain defective about Scandinavians, I'm afraid, but even in the mother country, Sweden, I suppose if you make enough of a mess of their country, they'll wake up.
Well, you're talking to someone here who's descended from a lot of Swedes, so not all of us are.
Yes, but anyway.
Now, Britain, of course, has been going nuts in the usual way, and at the Imperial War Museum, This is a museum that has an extensive display of material about Winston Churchill.
Well, they are rethinking their display.
Oh no.
In light of the Black Lives Matter unrest.
Okay.
They're quite explicit about this, and they might have to reinterpret their exhibits so as to highlight his racism.
Winston Churchill's racism.
Winston Churchill.
Okay.
Winston Churchill's, I beg your pardon, yes.
Black Lives Matter has targeted a swath of historical figures.
Winston is just one of them.
Admiral Lord Nelson.
I didn't realize Lord Nelson was a racist, but apparently he was.
He's a white man, so obviously, yes.
I guess that's it.
And, of course, there was this campaign of vandalism over the summer, defacing or destroying statues of Queen Victoria.
That's right.
A vicious racist.
Sir Edward Colston, he was the guy who had a statue in... It was in Bristol, I believe.
Bristol, Bristol.
I've actually seen that statue.
I have you, good for him.
And there was even an American president, Abraham Lincoln, his statue was defaced as well.
So, here we've got, we're gonna have to reinterpret some Winston because he was a bad guy, but the British public says nuts to this.
Good.
80% responded and said that, first of all, the statue of him in Parliament Square, it's got to stay put.
And there is clear support for Churchill staying all across age groups.
And guess who was the person who had the most sensible things to say about preserving British history and British monuments?
Boris Johnson.
No.
A former Brexit Party MEP by the name of Benyamin Naeem Habib.
Well, that is a traditional English name I've ever heard.
Oh, it's a Scots name.
It's a Scots name.
Of course, he's from Pakistan.
He called this move to rejig everything and apologize for everything.
He says this is utterly bonkers.
This guy has mastered the British vernacular.
He says, Churchill's views, whatever they may be, and Nelson's legacy do not require re-examination in light of BLM riots.
Public funds must not be wasted undermining British heritage.
This from, again, A fellow by the name of Benjamin Naim Habib.
Well, good for you, Mr. Habib.
You've got the only guy who's really got the most straightforward denunciation of this nonsense, at least as a public figure.
I'm sure there are many people at the corner pub who would probably express themselves in more forthright terms than Mr. Habib.
There have been a lot of shocking images in 2020.
One of those that really sticks in my mind is the box around the statue of Churchill there in London.
That's right.
The one you just spoke of.
That's exactly right.
They had to box it up.
Absolutely box it up.
Well, you know, during all that time, the British Museum removed the bust of the museum's founder.
Sir Hans Sloane from its pedestal.
That was on account of BLM activism.
Now, I've not taken the time to investigate the sins of Sir Hans Sloane.
The sins of whiteness?
But as you point out, simply having been white is probably bad enough.
And more recently, the National Trust.
This is the public organization that looks after the stately homes, the historical homes of Britain.
It put Sir Winston's former home, Chartwell, it's called Chartwell, and it's in Kent.
You know, it shows up in history books and all these meetings at Chartwell between him and he entertains the American ambassador at Chartwell.
Anyway, Chartwell has been put on a BLM style shame list because the house has links to, and I quote from the National Trust, Sometimes the sometimes uncomfortable role that Britain and Britons have played in global history.
Oh, so the sun has set on the British Empire and whiteness must be shown the door.
That's right.
Chartwell, Chartwell is on the list of shame because Sir Winston wasn't always the good guy that we want him to be.
Now, you were talking about defunding the police.
There was a recent article that we put up on the AMRAN website that had a list of all of the cities that are most aggressively defunding the police.
And it compared just how hard they're defunding the police with how much the crime rates have gone up over the last few months.
And there is an astonishing correlation.
It's a correlation.
I was going to ask.
The more crime has gone up, the more determined they are to defund the police.
Now, I've said this before and I'm afraid I will probably repeat myself and say it again.
We are in the midst of a kind of collective insanity that is like the Salem witchcraft insanity.
All these people thinking that everybody's possessed and they're seeing demons.
This is, I think, equally pathological.
It's like the tulip bubble in Holland.
Popular delusion to the madness of crowd.
That's exactly what it is.
I think we are going through something that there have been similar cases in world history, but this is right up there with the rest of them.
Just an astonishing state of affairs.
Now, we are closing in on, ooh, the time is slipping by, but I wanted to talk to you about black-owned banks.
Black-owned banks.
Well, 50 years ago, believe it or not, I mean, some of this stuff is not new.
50 years ago, the federal government set out to attack the racial wealth gap by supporting black-owned banks.
The government thought that helping banks to be black-owned would mean that black communities sidelined by the mainstream financial system would be helped.
That makes sense.
Well, it doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make sense.
Just because you're black-owned bank, does that mean you're going to make better and more intelligent loans to black people?
Look, if I'm a black guy and I'm credit worthy and I walk into white-owned banks... You're going to get a loan at a very good interest rate.
I'm just saying that it is nice on principle If there were impediments in place.
If there were impediments.
But, oddly enough, five decades of federal financial and regulatory support have failed to boost America's black-owned banks.
The majority have disappeared under the burden of, guess what?
Loans that went south.
Oh, loans that were never repaid.
That's right.
That's right.
Fifteen years ago, America had 36 black-owned banks.
Now, only 18.
Well, let's put it this way.
If those banks are solvent and they're doing well, they have great balance sheets, you're going to see those banks bought out and those executives of those banks, they're going to get promoted to very nice positions at Capital One, at Visa, and at other banks.
Bank of America.
Don't forget, they have to be black-owned.
If they get bought up by Bank of America, they won't be black-owned anymore, and all of this wisdom that blacks have when it comes to lending money to black borrowers will be dissipated.
So, they've got to stay black-owned.
For heaven's sake, Mr. Currie, I don't understand.
You're right.
What am I talking about?
Yes.
Now, the problems are an FDIC survey found that only 14% of black households I'm sorry, 14% of black households don't have a bank account.
And that compares with 5.4% of the overall population.
And the fact that blacks don't have bank accounts, obviously that's racism.
So, but you just said 86% of blacks do have a bank account.
That's right.
86% have, but you know the fact that they are less likely than whites, even by a small margin, not to have a bank account, that's something that has to be corrected.
Furthermore, and this is an interesting statistic, 73% of all U.S.
households used bank credit, including bank credit cards.
Okay.
Only 52% of black households did.
Now, I think that's probably better off.
If you can stay out of debt so much, the better.
Yeah, there's a... But in any case, that's no good.
That's no good.
We want them to be, you know, got their feet in the debt pile just as deep as everybody else.
And, you know, all the way back to the Nixon administration.
In 1969, he offered support by directing the government to place deposits in black banks.
1969.
Richard Nixon.
He says this is in order to, quote, obtain social and economic justice for minorities.
And in 1989, Congress ordered regulators to provide additional forms of technical support to black-owned banks.
Well, what happened?
A lot of them closed up shop.
The problem is, they did approve a higher percentage of black applicants' loans than other banks did.
The theory was, black-owned banks, they believed they could do a better job assessing the risk of black borrowers.
But, they couldn't.
They didn't.
And they made risky loans that white banks would not have made, and that's why they keep going under.
And there's a sad story about Covenant Bank.
It was on Chicago's west side.
It was supposed to serve a largely poor and black community.
And the former chairman, Reverend Bill Wilson, said, we were trying to eradicate poverty.
But these poor blacks did not repay their debts, so Covenant Bank is no more.
Very sad.
Very sad.
Once you go in the black, you're no longer in the financial black.
Is that, yet again, the maxim we're learning on this program?
I guess we are.
We guess we are.
Now, there's some big companies who have tried to up the odds for black-owned banks by becoming customers of the banks themselves.
For example, Netflix and PayPal, they've said they would provide huge deposits to existing black-owned banks, giving them a bigger financial cushion.
They made this decision after the George Floyd riots.
Oh, okay.
This changed their mind.
This opened their eyes.
Paying tribute.
You burn down enough stores, and you break enough windows, and people are going to make deposits in black-owned banks.
Netflix has committed $100 million.
And PayPal recently deposited $50 million in black-owned Optus Bank in Columbia, South Carolina.
Furthermore, Ashley Bell, an Atlanta lawyer, he's putting together a non-profit that he hopes will raise $250 million to buy stock in black-owned banks via an entity called the Black Bank Fund.
You know what they're going to do?
They're going to buy non-voting shares So that will give them equity but no non-black control.
You see, so if you are a white investor and you want to be good and you believe that white silence is violence, you can say it with money and you can buy Non-voting shares in these black banks.
You know, there's so many ways to be virtuous in America today.
Well, as long as companies like Netflix and PayPal are pouring vast sums of money into these banks, that stock might actually go up a little bit.
So you could do some speculation for a couple quarters and then get out before it goes the way of that bank you spoke of in Chicago.
Yes, Covenant Bank.
Covenant Bank.
Covenant Bank.
Apparently, some of the black borrowers did not abide by their mortgage covenants.
But the FDIC is now gearing up seeking new ways to help minority banks deal with troubled assets and support various forms of equity.
And one thing I can assure our listeners all around the world, Joe Biden will help.
Oh, hey, look, if President Trump was going to give $500 billion to the Platinum Plan, I think Joe Biden might find a way to add a couple zeros to that.
Joe Biden is going to come to the rescue of all these black-owned banks.
So, we are approaching the end of our happy time with our listeners around the world, and we do thank you for attention, and we urge you to send us your comments and questions.
You can reach Mr. Kersey at the following email address.
