	Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
	These videos aren't being promoted in a normal way, so if you like what you see, please send links to your friends.
	On April 23rd, 2018, a solemn ceremony took place at St. Martin in the Fields, Trafalgar Square, London.
	It was the 25th anniversary of the death of a cherished son of Britain.
	Here is then Prime Minister Theresa May arriving to give the eulogy.
	Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a front row pew.
	Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn and London Mayor Sadiq Khan were among the mourners.
	The high point of the ceremony was the Prime Minister's announcement that, henceforth, forevermore, April 22nd, will take the name of this great son of the realm.
	You ask, who was this remarkable person?
	Well, here he is, in a photo taken about the time of his death.
	His name was Stephen Lawrence.
	You ask, what did he do to deserve this great honor?
	He was murdered, but not in the usual way.
	He was killed by white people, and it was alleged that one of the killers used the N-word.
	This was Stephen Lawrence's great achievement.
	Back in 1993, a group of about half a dozen whites attacked Lawrence, apparently without provocation, and one of them stabbed him to death.
	The police got an anonymous tip and arrested five whites, but didn't have enough evidence to prosecute, and they dropped the case.
	By then, the murder was huge news, so there was much angry talk of police racism.
	That led to a private prosecution, something very rare in Britain, and a crown inquest, neither of which got a conviction.
	There was more angry talk.
	An official investigation found that there had been weaknesses, omissions, and lost opportunities in the detective work, but it found no sign of police racism.
	By 1998, five years later, the five suspects were ordered to testify about the case or face prosecution.
	They did so, but did not implicate themselves.
	Here they are being attacked by non-whites as they leave the courtroom.
	No arrests were made.
	In 1999, to much fanfare, retired High Court Judge William McPherson released a 350-page report that was supposed to draw lessons from the killing and from the failure to convict.
	George McPherson couldn't find any personal acts of police racism, but he discovered an immense amount of institutional racism, which could be cured only by hiring as many non-white officers as possible.
	He also famously defined an act of racism as any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or by any other person.
	If someone says it's racism, it's racism.
	Britain was determined to convict those guys, but several had already been acquitted and couldn't be retried for the same crime.
	It's a centuries-old tradition in English law called double jeopardy.
	Well, in 2005...
	Parliament passed a new law abolishing double jeopardy for certain crimes just to make it possible to go after these people again.
	It took six more years to nail them, but in 2011, these two went on trial and this time there was DNA evidence.
	They were convicted and got life sentences.
	But that's not enough.
	Three remain unconvicted.
	So there have been investigations, inquests, reports, documentaries, reconstructions, and the search is still on to find some way to put three more white guys away for life.
	In the meantime, Stephen Lawrence has become a national hero.
	Of course, there is a memorial plaque set into the sidewalk where he was killed.
	Naturally, there is a Stephen Lawrence charitable trust founded on the premise that inequality must be tackled in all its forms.
	And because Lawrence reportedly wanted to be an architect when he grew up, ever since 1998, the Royal Institute of British Architects has awarded the annual Stephen Lawrence Prize.
	Here are last year's finalists.
	A play about the Lawrence saga called The Color of Justice was performed on stage and made into a BBC broadcast special.
	There is a Stephen Lawrence center that is supposed to help disadvantaged youth pursue creative careers.
	It's in a disadvantaged part of town, so note the gates and the barbed wire.
	Shortly after it opened, it was vandalized, and there were high hopes that another racist would be caught.
	But alas, security cameras showed the perp wasn't white.
	Here are various parts of the interior, though I'm not sure just what it is that disadvantaged youth are supposed to do here.
	The architect, Sir David Ajayi, no doubt understands their needs better than I do.
	Perhaps most surprising, Stephen Lawrence's mother, who used to work in a bank, has been elevated to the peerage.
	She is now officially Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon.
	And she sits in the House of Lords.
	Here are the future King and Queen of England paying their respects to the Baroness.
	Here she is again at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the Stephen Lawrence Research Center.
	It's in the heart of the historic campus of De Montfort University in Leicester.
	Standing next to the Baroness is Dr. Kenata Perry, director of the Research Center, who says that it will be, quote, a place where national conversations on race and social justice should start.
	Festivities after the ribbon-cutting ended with a four-minute standing ovation for the Baroness.
	Here is the executive staff of the Research Center.
	In 2014, the BBC named the Baroness Britain's most influential woman.
	Among her many honorary doctorates is one from Cambridge University.
	Does Baroness Lawrence think that Britain is making any progress in the fight against racism?
	Well, last year, she said that in 2017, when 72 people died in the Grenfell Tower fire, racist white firemen dawdled on the job because there were so many non-whites in the building.
	Does it ever seem to you that the more white society honors and applauds black people, the more resentful they become?
	Just as the Prime Minister was mourning the 25th anniversary of the killing by inaugurating Stephen Lawrence Day, The Archbishop of York explained that the Buddhist police are still institutionally racist and that the killing still has a chilling effect on the whole country.
	Here's the Archbishop, by the way.
	His name is John Sentamu.
	Now, don't think I'm trying to justify Stephen Lawrence's murder.
	If those guys are guilty, put them away.
	But this orgy of breast-beating is, in a word, Sick.
	Last year, for the first celebration of Stephen Lawrence Day, all the police in Britain were supposed to stop and meditate for five minutes on the young man's demise.
	Well, there's only a two-minute silence on Remembrance Day when the country mourns the death of 800,000 Britons who died in the First World War.
	Only white people.
	Celebrate and memorialize their own misbehavior as if it were the thing they were proudest of.
	You can hunt all over Japan.
	You won't find a memorial to the victims of the rape of Nanking.
	The Turks will never proclaim Armenian Genocide Day.
	The Mongols won't apologize to the people of Europe for the millions of ancestors they killed during their invasions.
	This monument to Genghis Khan is the largest equestrian statue in the world.
	The North Africans will never hold sorrowful commemoration ceremonies for the million or more Europeans they took as slaves.
	Only whites wallow in guilt and glory in apology.
	And so I won't wish you Happy Stephen Lawrence Day because you're not supposed to be happy.
	Instead, I wish you a penitent, contrite Stephen Lawrence Day.
	He would have wanted it that way.
