Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
These videos aren't being promoted or suggested in the usual way, so if you like what you see, please send our videos to your friends.
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is coming on strong as a Democrat candidate to the point that the other candidates are attacking him vigorously.
Recently... Bernie Sanders supporters found a recording of a talk that Mr. Bloomberg gave at the Aspen Institute in 2015 explaining why stop and frisk, that was his policy to get guns off the streets of New York, meant mostly stopping non-whites.
95% of your murderers and murderers and murder victims fit in one amount.
You can just take the description, zero access, and pass it out to all the cops.
They are male minorities, 15, 25. That's true in New York, it's true in virtually every city.
He also said,"We put all the cops in minority neighborhoods." Yes, that's true.
Why do we do it?
Because that's where the crime is.
Here he's explaining that given the racial reality of crime rates, he actually stopped and frisked too many white people.
I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
It's exactly the reverse of what they say.
I don't know where they went to school, but they certainly didn't take a math course.
Now that he's running for the Democrat nomination, he's singing a different tune.
His campaign apparently knew these tapes would come out, and they'd already worked out a spin for him.
I inherited the police practice of stop-and-frisk, and as part of our effort to stop gun violence, it was overused.
I regret that, and I've apologized.
And I've taken responsibility for taking too long to understand the impact it had on black and Latino communities.
At last night's Democrat debate, he was still apologizing.
The one thing that I'm really worried about, embarrassed about, was how it turned out with stop and frisk.
Stop and frisk is the one thing he says he's worried about.
Mr. Bloomberg was mayor of New York for 11 years.
It was two years after he finished being mayor that he was defending stop and frisk at the Aspen Institute.
But now, suddenly, his eyes have been opened and he understands the hurt that he caused blacks and Hispanics.
This guy's 78 years old.
We're supposed to think that he just had a moral awakening?
What is so frustrating about this is that what he was saying about crime is 100% true.
Here are the latest murder statistics from the NYPD annual report.
Please look at the fourth row from the top.
Whites were 4.9% of murder victims, just 3% of murder suspects, and 3.3% of arrests for murder.
Murderers and murder victims both are overwhelmingly non-white.
You can stop the video if you like and look at the statistics for Blacks and Hispanics.
On accurate.
When Stop and Frisk was taking guns out of the hands of Blacks and Hispanics, who was he protecting?
Blacks and Hispanics.
So why can't he tell the truth today?
Because close to half of Democrat primary voters are non-white.
In the 5th century BC, the poet Aeschylus said,"In war, truth is the first casualty.
It's the same in politics." In 2011, Mr. Bloomberg was saying other things he sure won't be saying now.
But nevertheless, there's this enormous cohort of black and Latino males aged, let's say, 16 to 25 that don't have jobs, don't have any prospects, don't know how to find jobs, don't know what their skill sets are,
don't know how to behave in the workplace.
This is from the same interview.
The blacks and Latinos score terribly in school testing compared to whites and Asians.
If you look at our jails, it's predominantly minorities.
If you look at where crime takes place, it's in minority neighborhoods.
If you look at who the victims and the perpetrators are, it's virtually all minorities.
This is something that has gone on for a long time.
At some level, every Democrat candidate knows this.
Maybe they even talk about it.
But not in public.
Politics is about getting elected, not telling people the truth.
And that's why politicians say different things to different people.
Here's a conversation from 1971 that came to light just last year.
Ronald Reagan, at that time he was governor of California, is telling President Nixon what he thought of African delegates at the UN General Assembly.
"Last night I tell you to watch that thing on television, and I did, to see those monkeys from those African countries.
Damn them, they're still uncomfortable wearing shoes."
Reagan's admirers had to apologize on his behalf.
And no matter who's talking, when something inconvenient slips out, it has to be slapped down.
Just a few days ago, Richard Dawkins, the much-awarded and celebrated scientist, tweeted this:
"It's one thing to deplore eugenics on ideological, political, moral grounds;
it's quite another to conclude that it wouldn't work in
Well... The usual people shrieked and howled.
So like Michael Bloomberg, Mr. Dawkins changed his tune and just one day later, he claimed to be looking into a lightweight, anti-racist book that he calls an interesting, well-researched treatment of racism and insidious, below-the-radar persistence of covert racism after overt racism became unrespectable.
Well, Mr. Dawkins has tried to cut a figure as a brave truth-seeker who cares only about science and logic, but suggests that the laws of genetics apply to us just the way they do to animals, and he was doing penance the very next day.
Some things can be said in public no matter how true or important they are, and sometimes politicians even admit they think they have to deceive us.
In 2017, the National Archives released a recording of a 1971 phone call between President Nixon and his advisor, Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Moynihan had sent Nixon an article from The Atlantic of that year by Professor Richard Hernstein of Harvard.
The title of the article was IQ.
It was a thorough 18-page explanation of the heritability of intelligence, and it suggested that the black-white gap in average IQ is probably due, at least in part, to genetic differences.
The editors of Atlantic wrote an introduction to the article, explaining that people like Richard Hernstein and Arthur Jensen, who studied race and IQ, had to deal with torrents of hatred and abuse.
They went on to write:"It is only lately in America..." That public discussion requires physical, not to mention intellectual courage, for the subject is close to taboo.
But the Atlantic believes that it is not only possible, but necessary to have public discussion of important, albeit painful, social issues.
Public discourse still requires courage, partly because the Atlantic stopped discussing important but painful issues.
But here are Nixon and Moynihan discussing the article.
"Nobody in the staff even knows I read the goddamn article.
And nobody in this staff is going to know anything about it because I couldn't agree more with you that the Hearnstein stuff and all the rest, this is knowledge.
First, nobody must think we're thinking about it.
And second, if we do find out it's correct, we must never tell anybody.
Nixon and Moynihan then talked about how people of different races run their countries.
And it's right beneath the surface, this old black-white deal is going to come out the fact that Asians are capable of governing themselves one way or another.
We and the Caucasians have learned it after slaughtering each other in religious wars and other wars for many, many years, including a couple in the last century.
The Latins do it in a miserable way, but they do it.
But the Africans just can't run them.
Then Nixon says something really remarkable.
My theory is that the responsibility of a president in my present position first is to know these things.
But also, my theory is that I must do everything that I possibly can to deny them.
President Richard Nixon is saying there are important things he needs to know in order to run the country, but he must pretend they're not true.
He was the most powerful man in the world, and he was afraid.
It's even worse today.
Michael Bloomberg isn't even talking about IQ.
He wants to become the most powerful man in the world.
But to get there, he thinks he has to run like a rabbit from hard, verifiable facts that are published in the NYPD's Crime Report every year.
In New York City, more than 95% of the murder victims are non-white, and more than 95% of the people who are killing them are also non-white.
There are similar figures for all violent crimes in his city.
You stop violence by keeping an eye on violent people.
Is that racist?
No. It's reasonable, logical, and ultimately it's humane.
But when it comes to race, they all turn into cowards.
Somebody's got to tell the truth, no matter who's listening.
That's our job.
Well, I'll tell you something else.
It's your job, too.
