=== Why We Left White Communities (05:13) ===

[00:00:04]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:08]  Janelle Monáe is a rapper and an actress.
[00:00:11]  She has a strong racial consciousness, as she explained to The Evening Standard.
[00:00:15]  My music, my performance, my voice, my message, and what I'm representing as a young African-American woman is what's most important.
[00:00:25]  She starred in the movie Hidden Figures, which suggests NASA couldn't have made it to the moon without the help of blacks.
[00:00:32]  Miss Monet played the role of Mary Jackson, a NASA mathematician.
[00:00:37]  At the time, many blacks protested the space program.
[00:00:41]  At this demonstration, at a NASA site, the sign reads, Billions for space, pennies for the hungry.
[00:00:48]  This lady looks pretty regular to her meals, to me.
[00:00:52]  But that's a different story.
[00:00:54]  What brought Miss Monet to my attention was the following tweet.
[00:00:58]  Why can't all homophobic and racist people live in their own effing community?
[00:01:04]  I'm asking a serious question.
[00:01:06]  Put y'all money together and start your own community.
[00:01:09]  Build homes and just be with each other.
[00:01:12]  Stop making people's lives who live in the real world miserable.
[00:01:16]  You can see it got 14,000 retweets and 67,000 likes.
[00:01:22]  Now, setting aside some of the rhetorical flourishes, Miss Monet is on to something.
[00:01:28]  First, she's clearly talking about getting rid of white people, since we all know that only white people can be racist.
[00:01:34]  And she has tumbled to a profound insight.
[00:01:38]  Sometimes, separation is the solution.
[00:01:41]  Like so many successful black people in America, she thinks people like me are making people like her, as she put it, miserable.
[00:01:50]  And she has given up on the idea that we can be cured of racism.
[00:01:55]  She just wants us out of her life.
[00:01:58]  If a white person complained that blacks made him miserable and wondered why they can't just go away, he'd be kicked off of Twitter.
[00:02:05]  But Ms. Monet's account seems to be safe.
[00:02:09]  Now, I've made a couple of videos arguing that divorce is better than trying to stay in a miserable marriage.
[00:02:16]  But YouTube quarantines them.
[00:02:18]  It's okay for some people to talk about that, but not for others.
[00:02:23]  But there's a bigger problem.
[00:02:24]  The federal government uses force to prevent separation.
[00:02:28]  Here's the Arkansas National Guard forcing whites to go to school with blacks in 1954.
[00:02:35]  And as this famous photo shows, in Boston, too, whites wanted their own schools and did not want to integrate.
[00:02:43]  Even dear old Joe Biden, current Democrat frontrunner, used to like the idea of separation.
[00:02:50]  Here's a political article called How a young Joe Biden turned liberals against integration.
[00:02:57]  In 1976, he said, and I quote, If he said that today, Facebook would ban him.
[00:03:07]  And what about neighborhoods?
[00:03:09]  It was once possible to use restrictive covenants to be sure that people sold their houses only to buyers of the same race.
[00:03:16]  But in 1948, the Supreme Court ruled that restrictive covenants were illegal.
[00:03:22]  This means that if Ms. Monet's"racists" actually did build communities, they might not be able to keep them.
[00:03:29]  And if the last 60 years tell us anything at all, it's that non-whites all around the world can't wait to come live with us racist white people.
[00:03:40]  Now, we take it for granted that blacks and other minorities can go their own way.
[00:03:45]  How often do you hear of people described as"active in the black community"?
[00:03:50]  Well, I'd be active in the white community, if there were such a thing.
[00:03:55]  If Miss Monet really wants whites to have communities, she is a cutting-edge thinker.
[00:04:01]  I'd like to thank her for promoting this idea to her one million Twitter followers.
[00:04:06]  But does she really mean it?
[00:04:08]  Would she really be happy if white people built their own institutions, as the Afrikaners have in the enclave of Orania?
[00:04:17]  Somehow, I doubt it.
[00:04:19]  When push comes to shove, blacks don't want to go it alone.
[00:04:24]  Back in the 1920s, Marcus Garvey tried to start a Back to Africa movement for American blacks.
[00:04:30]  He might have been serious, but he sure couldn't get many to go.
[00:04:35]  Officially, the Nation of Islam is supposed to want part of the United States just for blacks.
[00:04:40]  And Louis Farrakhan occasionally talks about that, but I don't think he's serious.
[00:04:45]  I think, frankly, he's afraid of the very idea of going alone.
[00:04:49]  Surely, he knows he's better off living with white people, and the more guilty he can make us feel, the better.
[00:04:57]  Black people are always asking for dialogue.
[00:05:00]  Well, let's have a dialogue.
[00:05:02]  But even without one, we should think of Ms. Monet's words as a call to action.
[00:05:09]  Start thinking about where and with whom you can build a community.
[00:05:14]  We have to start somewhere, and the sooner the better.
