=== Man Keep Coming (02:23) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor.
[00:00:06]  How did it come to this?
[00:00:08]  And by this, I mean not just the 10 days of rioting after the death of George Floyd, but the psychological collapse of whites that followed.
[00:00:18]  Billions of dollars in riot damage can be repaired.
[00:00:21]  The psychological damage is more serious.
[00:00:25]  Consider this.
[00:00:26]  Excuse me.
[00:00:28]  Hey, excuse me.
[00:00:28]  I work for Black Lives Matter.
[00:00:30]  A white person is getting on their knees.
[00:00:32]  That shows solidarity for the situation.
[00:00:35]  The situation.
[00:00:37]  And could you just please apologize for, you know, for your white privilege?
[00:00:41]  This young couple agreed to lick the boots of blacks.
[00:00:45]  For what their forefathers have found.
[00:00:47]  That's right.
[00:00:48]  You understand?
[00:00:49]  Keep going, man.
[00:00:50]  Keep it coming, man.
[00:00:52]  Keep it coming.
[00:00:54]  Only a couple more.
[00:00:55]  Two more.
[00:00:58]  It's a lot.
[00:00:59]  Get a cameraman.
[00:01:00]  You can't forget.
[00:01:01]  I got him.
[00:01:03]  This woman does the same.
[00:01:06]  All you white people that's watching this, this is your future.
[00:01:10]  Come, yes, Allah!
[00:01:16]  This is your future.
[00:01:18]  You are going into captivity.
[00:01:20]  You are going into slavery for what your forefathers did.
[00:01:24]  Not just because we said it.
[00:01:26]  I don't believe there has ever been a time in the history of the world when a black person could persuade a white person, just passing by, to get on his knees right there on the sidewalk.
[00:01:38]  There was a similar, maybe not quite so degrading, ceremony in Congress.
[00:01:44]  Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Charles Schumer stayed on their knees for nine minutes to honor George Floyd.
[00:01:51]  They wore African kinty cloth and bowed their heads.
[00:01:55]  George Floyd was a criminal with a long record.
[00:02:00]  If American senators and congresswomen have ever knelt like this to honor another American, I haven't heard of it.
[00:02:09]  Not George Washington, not John Kennedy, not anybody.

=== Racism Without Racists (11:18) ===

[00:02:13]  Have they ever even knelt on the cold, hard floors of Congress to worship God?
[00:02:19]  I doubt it.
[00:02:21]  When a nation is defeated, it pays tribute.
[00:02:25]  America has been defeated.
[00:02:28]  Looters pillaged Apple stores all over the country, and Apple's reaction?
[00:02:32]  It promised $100 million for black causes.
[00:02:38]  Here are blacks looting ritzy stores in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.
[00:02:43]  I'm sure that like virtually every major corporation in America, they have also promised to pay tribute.
[00:02:50]  Do you think that after the race riots of the 1960s, or even the LA riots of 1992, businesses rewarded the people who sacked their stores?
[00:03:01]  No. This is a new era.
[00:03:05]  What is behind this unprecedented surrender?
[00:03:08]  It's a delusion.
[00:03:10]  I would even call it a kind of madness.
[00:03:13]  It's the belief that the United States is viciously racist.
[00:03:17]  Here's a headline from The Guardian.
[00:03:19]  In America, black deaths are not a flaw in the system.
[00:03:24]  They are the system.
[00:03:26]  It's now common on the left to think that blacks are treated so horribly that they are justified in rioting and that anyone who opposes looting and arson is a racist.
[00:03:38]  Joyce Kenner has been the principal of Whitney Young High School in Chicago for 25 years and worked for Alice Sharpton before that.
[00:03:45]  Here she is with her arm raised at a school event.
[00:03:48]  When she urged her students to demonstrate but stay away from violence and looting, disappointed alumni got up more than 800 signatures on a petition calling for her to resign.
[00:04:01]  David Shore is a data analyst for Civis Analytics, whose job was to try to help Democrats win elections.
[00:04:09]  He tweeted a reference to a paper that found that in 1968, when there were race riots, it raised the Republican share of the vote.
[00:04:17]  He was worried that the George Floyd riots might make people vote Republican this year, too.
[00:04:24]  Work colleagues and clients said this was anti-black and threatened their safety.
[00:04:30]  Mr. Shore apologized, but Civis Analytics undertook a review of the episode.
[00:04:35]  A few days later, Shore was fired.
[00:04:39]  This is new.
[00:04:40]  A certified anti-racist was punished for pointing out that looting and arson might hurt Democrats.
[00:04:48]  How did blacks achieve this exalted status?
[00:04:52]  Why do white people kneel before them, kiss their boots, pay ransom money to the people who loot their stores, and lose their jobs if they criticize black mob violence?
[00:05:04]  Strange as it may seem, This is the inevitable logic of an idea that has its roots as far back as the Declaration of Independence.
[00:05:13]  The phrase, all men are created equal, has been more shamelessly misinterpreted than any words in all of American history.
[00:05:22]  But you could argue that those words put in motion what we are seeing today.
[00:05:27]  Equality has been on the march ever since, and by the mid-20th century it had reached a point that would have shocked.
[00:05:37]  In 1950, the United States put its signature on a UNESCO document that stated, for all practical social purposes, race is not so much a biological phenomenon as a social myth.
[00:05:50]  The next year, the United States endorsed a UNESCO declaration that said, In June 1965,
[00:06:08]  at a commencement speech at Howard University, President Lyndon Johnson laid out the principles for what euphemistically became known as affirmative action.
[00:06:19]  He said this, Equal opportunity is essential, but not enough.
[00:06:32]  Not enough.
[00:06:33]  The president pointed to black-white differences in achievement and explained their cause.
[00:06:38]  They are solely and simply the consequence of ancient brutality, past injustice, and present prejudice.
[00:06:46]  And even when he mentioned the breakdown in black families, he said, for this, most of all, white America must accept responsibility.
[00:06:56]  The message is clear.
[00:06:57]  Blacks are not responsible for failure of any kind.
[00:07:01]  Whites are.
[00:07:02]  And over the years, it became impossible to take a different view.
[00:07:08]  Blacks rioted every summer for four straight years in the 1960s.
[00:07:12]  The Kerner Commission was appointed to look into the causes and found that the problem was white people.
[00:07:18]  What white Americans have never fully understood, but what the Negro can never forget, is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto.
[00:07:27]  White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.
[00:07:32]  The problems of blacks were all our fault.
[00:07:36]  So we spent trillions of dollars on welfare and education, gave blacks preferences in hiring and college admissions, hunted down and denounced every trace of racism.
[00:07:47]  We set up black role models, made Martin Luther King a national hero, and we elected a black president.
[00:07:54]  Nothing changed.
[00:07:56]  Blacks are still way behind, and it's still our fault.
[00:08:01]  Ibram X. Kendi is the director of the Anti-Racist Research and Policy Center at American University.
[00:08:08]  He wants an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would make it clear that racial inequity is evidence of racist policy.
[00:08:16]  And the different racial groups are equal.
[00:08:19]  Professor Kendi, we don't need an amendment.
[00:08:23]  That's already what everyone in America must absolutely believe.
[00:08:29]  Blacks and whites are inherently equal in every way, so any difference in achievement is our fault.
[00:08:36]  Whites make blacks kill each other at 12 times the rate whites kill each other.
[00:08:42]  White people Black people have so many out-of-wedlock babies that their illegitimacy rate is close to 80%.
[00:08:51]  Whites are grinding blacks down so badly that their median household wealth is just one-tenth that of whites.
[00:08:59]  Well, wait a minute.
[00:09:01]  Who are the horrible people who are doing these things?
[00:09:05]  Who is making black people shoot each other and get pregnant?
[00:09:10]  This country has been completely fumigated for racists.
[00:09:14]  And in fact, not even the wildest anti-racists can find people who are doing those things.
[00:09:21]  Of course, when they do find someone who says all lives matter at the wrong time, they treat him as if he wanted to bring slavery back.
[00:09:30]  The truth is, white people don't make black people misbehave.
[00:09:36]  How would they do that even if they wanted to?
[00:09:38]  And so, to explain black failure, we had to invent racism without racists.
[00:09:46]  That's the purpose of fancy ideas like systemic racism, implicit bias, and white privilege.
[00:09:54]  Lefties admit that you can have racism without racists.
[00:09:59]  Robin DiAngelo is today's hottest anti-racism guru.
[00:10:04]  She scoffs at what she calls the simplistic idea that racism is limited to individual, intentional acts committed by unkind people.
[00:10:13]  That means you can be an earnest, anti-racist white person and still oppress black people.
[00:10:20]  As she says, white progressives do indeed uphold and perpetrate racism.
[00:10:28]  So all those white people walking around with signs that say Black Lives Matter?
[00:10:33]  They're perpetrating racism?
[00:10:35]  How? A sociology professor wrote in USA Today, all college students should take a mandatory course on black history and white privilege.
[00:10:45]  Emily Walton teaches a course like that at Dartmouth.
[00:10:49]  She says it's her white students who learn the most because, and I quote, they understand that being a good person does not make them innocent.
[00:10:59]  You can be a genuinely good person, but you're still the reason why black people are poor and shoot each other.
[00:11:06]  And you will never be innocent.
[00:11:08]  As author and activist Tema Okum explains, from white racist to white anti-racist is a lifelong journey.
[00:11:19]  Well, how do white people who are trying so hard to be good become a deadly menace to blacks?
[00:11:26]  Robin DiAngelo has the answer.
[00:11:28]  We are, as she puts it, conditioned into a white supremacist worldview.
[00:11:33]  She says that the ubiquitous socializing power of white supremacy cannot be avoided.
[00:11:40]  The messages circulate 24 /7.
[00:11:43]  What? I don't see those messages.
[00:11:46]  Do you see those messages?
[00:11:48]  Who's sending them?
[00:11:49]  Space aliens?
[00:11:51]  White supremacy is like witchcraft or the Black Death.
[00:11:55]  It's an evil force that circulates 24-7.
[00:11:58]  I guess it emanates from the minds of even the best and most virtuous white people.
[00:12:05]  And black people are such helpless puppets that they collapse into degeneracy at the slightest touch of this evil force.
[00:12:15]  This kind of nuttiness used to be bottled up on college campuses, but now ordinary people talk about white privilege and say cuckoo things like White silence equals violence.
[00:12:27]  So America has a new theory of race relations.
[00:12:30]  Whites make life miserable for black people without even trying, even when they are doing their best to be good to blacks.
[00:12:39]  It's just the way we are.
[00:12:41]  We can't help it, no matter how hard we try, and we can't be cured.
[00:12:46]  This is obviously crazy, but it's what we're stuck with when we have no other explanation.
[00:12:53]  For unequal results in a country that requires, that demands, complete equality.
[00:12:59]  Is it possible, is it conceivable, that unequal racial results might, just might, have something to do with the nature of blacks?
[00:13:09]  With how they are and what they do?
[00:13:12]  No. Impossible.
[00:13:14]  Even to ask that question will make 17 black people shoot each other in Chicago this weekend.

=== No Amount of Kneeling (00:38) ===

[00:13:21]  And asking it will get you thrown off the internet.
[00:13:24]  And that's how it came to this.
[00:13:27]  And there is no solution.
[00:13:30]  No amount of bootlicking.
[00:13:33]  No amount of money.
[00:13:34]  Not even every white person on his knees every day can solve this problem.
[00:13:40]  Eventually, it'll solve itself.
[00:13:43]  As the Roman poet Horus wrote more than 2,000 years ago, you may drive out nature with a pitchfork.
[00:13:50]  But she will always return.
