=== Democrats Want Race Talk (02:18) ===

[00:00:03]  Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
[00:00:08]  Liberals always tell us we need to talk about race.
[00:00:11]  In his second term, Bill Clinton decided that his legacy should be all about the wonderful things he did for black people.
[00:00:19]  He launched something called the President's Initiative on Race that issued a fancy report: One America in the 21st Century: Forging a New Future.
[00:00:30]  I don't think anyone ever read it.
[00:00:32]  President Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, called us a nation of cowards because we won't talk honestly about race.
[00:00:41]  At the time, I wrote him and offered to talk honestly about race with him any time.
[00:00:46]  He never wrote back.
[00:00:48]  Now, Democrats want to put race at the heart of the 2020 presidential campaign.
[00:00:54]  Last month, Vox complained that Democrats didn't talk enough about racism in their first primary debate.
[00:01:02]  Well, sure enough, in the second debate, Senator Kamala Harris said, I would like to speak on the issue of race, before she tucked into Joe Biden.
[00:01:12]  So-called anti-racism educator Tim Wise explained in the Washington Post last week how Democrats can beat Donald Trump in 2020.
[00:01:22]  Don't worry about policy.
[00:01:24]  Just talk nonstop about racism and turn the election into a moral campaign.
[00:01:31]  So Democrats want a conversation about race?
[00:01:33]  Well, they just got one.
[00:01:35]  Over the weekend, Donald Trump tweeted about Elijah Cummings, who represents Baltimore.
[00:01:42]  Cummings District is a disgusting, rat- and rodent-infested mess.
[00:01:47]  If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous and filthy place.
[00:01:54]  The president added that Mr. Cummings District is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States.
[00:02:03]  Well, Democrats erupted into the only kind of conversation they ever have about race.

=== Baltimore's Grim Reality (04:24) ===

[00:02:09]  They screamed.
[00:02:11]  Bernie Sanders called Donald Trump a racist president.
[00:02:15]  Well, oddly, in 2015, he sounded just like Mr. Trump after he took a walk through the city.
[00:02:22]  The fact of the matter is, is that America is the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
[00:02:28]  But anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you
[00:02:34]  Mr. Trump also got a scolding from David Simon, who started the TV series The Wire.
[00:02:46]  It's about Baltimore drug crime, and it makes the city look pretty grim.
[00:02:51]  Mr. Simon wrote this: You dope.
[00:02:54]  The show addressed itself to the systemic and historical forces arrayed against the American city for generations.
[00:03:03]  It wasn't so submoronic as to argue that one U.S. representative could be held accountable for U.S. urban policy or lack thereof.
[00:03:12]  For that, we require Trump.
[00:03:16]  Systemic and historical forces.
[00:03:19]  That's the problem.
[00:03:20]  As usual, it's our fault.
[00:03:23]  Well, this didn't stop Mr. Trump.
[00:03:25]  He tweeted a video of Baltimore's dilapidation.
[00:03:28]  And he taunted Elijah Cummings about the city's sky-high crime rate.
[00:03:34]  But back to what The Wire said about crime.
[00:03:37]  Here's a little scene from the show.
[00:03:40]  This city's going to hell, man.
[00:03:44]  We're going to push past 300 murders before New Year's.
[00:03:47]  Shit is fucked.
[00:03:50]  In The Wire, which ended in 2008, 300 murders a year was a nightmare scenario for the future.
[00:03:57]  Well, it's been over 300 for the last four years, and this year could well set an all-time record.
[00:04:05]  Baltimore has the highest murder rate of any big American city.
[00:04:08]  At 56 per 100,000 people, it's higher than in Guatemala, Honduras, or El Salvador.
[00:04:15]  Elijah Cummings is constantly yelling about how we have to let people in from these countries because they are escaping violence.
[00:04:23]  Well, I guess he expects them to go to your district, not his.
[00:04:28]  Much as liberals would love to, it's hard to blame Baltimore's problems on white people.
[00:04:34]  65% of the people are black, and blacks run the place.
[00:04:38]  It's had just one white mayor in the last 30 years.
[00:04:43]  Until May, the mayor was Catherine Pugh, who resigned because she was corrupt.
[00:04:49]  A white TV journalist, Mary Bubala, pointed out that Baltimore had had three black women mayors in a row.
[00:04:56]  Two resigned because of corruption, and the third presided over the worst race riots in 50 years.
[00:05:04]  Ms. Bubala asked the obvious question.
[00:05:06]  Is this a signal that a different kind of leadership is needed?
[00:05:10]  Well, she was fired.
[00:05:13]  A year before that, black police commissioner Daryl D'Souza resigned for failing to pay taxes.
[00:05:19]  He's now in jail.
[00:05:21]  The new commissioner is, of course, black.
[00:05:24]  The new deputy commissioner is white.
[00:05:26]  And he was mugged at gunpoint just last week.
[00:05:30]  Clearly, it's a great place to live.
[00:05:32]  And while we're at it, 13 of Baltimore's 36 high schools have zero students proficient in math.
[00:05:41]  Zero. Ninety percent of black boys in the city can't read at grade level, and virtually every black baby born in the city is illegitimate.
[00:05:51]  The local paper, The Baltimore Sun, of course, joined the anti-racist chorus against Mr. Trump.
[00:05:59]  It brushed off the rat problem in an editorial with the childish title, Better to have a few rats than to be one.
[00:06:08]  Well, not so fast.
[00:06:10]  Animal Planet says Baltimore is the third worst rat city in the world.

=== Why Can't We Have Decency? (01:48) ===

[00:06:17]  In 2018, PBS aired a documentary on the rat plague in Baltimore called Rat Film.
[00:06:25]  And when it's not raving about racism, the Baltimore Sun actually has a few lucid moments.
[00:06:31]  Believe it or not, in 2016, it ran an op-ed with the title, Trump's Right.
[00:06:38]  Declare Baltimore a disaster and rebuild it.
[00:06:42]  Just don't criticize our black congressmen.
[00:06:44]  And just this April, The Sun had a directly rat-related editorial called Baltimore's Perpetual Trash Problem.
[00:06:54]  The first sentence asked the question, why can't we have a clean city?
[00:06:58]  The editorial actually answered that question.
[00:07:02]  And I quote, too many people need a lesson in basic decency.
[00:07:06]  You see, deep down, they know.
[00:07:10]  Mr. Trump tweeted about one congressman and his district.
[00:07:14]  He didn't mention race.
[00:07:15]  It's the liberals and the Democrats who suddenly started screaming about race because they know who needs a lesson in decency.
[00:07:24]  They know who's doing the killing, who's nodding out on drugs, who's wrecking the schools, and who's in the flash mobs that terrify tourists.
[00:07:33]  They just don't want anyone talking about it.
[00:07:36]  If you do, you better say it's all the fault of white people.
[00:07:40]  President Trump was blaming Democrats, and that's more than enough to send them into hysterics about race.
[00:07:48]  Now, if only Mr. Trump would talk about, well, I don't want to get this video banned, but the President of the United States can talk about anything, they're already calling him a fascist and a white supremacist and a rat.
[00:08:04]  What's he got to lose?
