Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the episode of Radio Renaissance, dated February 18th, 2021.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and I'm without my usual co-host.
So, this podcast may be a little bit different from the usual ones, but I hope it will be equally satisfactory.
We were going to begin with a listener question.
As you know, we are eager to have questions from our listeners, comments, any news stories that you think we should cover, and of course, especially, any corrections you have to errors we may have made on this podcast.
The question is, could you possibly recommend any podcasts that relate to white history?
I enjoy the AMRAN podcast, but sometimes I want to listen to something more uplifting.
Hearing about unfortunate things happening to white people sometimes gets a little depressing.
Well, I understand.
A lot of things that are happening to white people these days are depressing.
And I wish that we had more good news to report.
We report it when we find it.
But, alas, we don't often find very much good news.
Now, another misfortune is that I don't have an answer to that question.
I do listen to podcasts, but I tend to listen to them mostly in French, just to keep my French limbered up.
And if you are a French speaker, there are some pretty good history podcasts.
I listen to one called Au Coeur de l'Histoire, At the Heart of History.
But that will be of no good to those of you who are not French speakers.
And so the reason I am repeating this question for which I have no answer is because I'm hoping very much that some of the listeners will be able to make recommendations to me, and please send them to the Contact Us tab at amran.com.
Please let us know some of your favorite podcasts that have to do with white history, and we will be happy to relay them to our listening public when we get a chance.
Again, I apologize for not having recommendations to make, but I'm counting help I'm counting on help for those who are better informed than I. Now, I'll start this podcast with what could be a good news story.
It is at least a hopeful story.
And that's the fact that conservative lawyer Larry Klayman has asked the U.S.
Supreme Court to take up the case of activist Laura Loomer.
She has been shadow banned, and really very seriously so.
Sometimes not just shadow banned, but outright banned.
Larry Klayman, by the way, is the founder of Freedom Watch and Judicial Watch.
Both of which are excellent public interest lawsuits, primarily in the name of free speech, and his lawsuits sometimes do have a certain white advocacy tinge to them.
Now this case dates back to 2018, when Ms.
Loomer sued Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Apple over complaints that the platforms had
violated the First Amendment, the Sherman Antitrust Act, and the District of Columbia's
Human Rights Act in censoring her.
The lawsuit said that those platforms worked together.
They cooperated to suppress conservative points of view.
Unfortunately, like so many other cases, it was dismissed at both the district and circuit
court levels, chiefly because social media platforms can't violate the First Amendment
insofar as the First Amendment applies to government actors.
Now, this petition to the Supreme Court, let us hope it succeeds.
It says, and I quote, the aim of this conspiracy, that is to say, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Apple, to use anti-competitive means to suppress politically conservative content was to take down President Donald Trump and his administration with the intent and purpose To have installed leftist government in the nation's capital and the 50 states.
That seems to me a very broad claim.
It's not a legal claim either.
It's an imputation of motive.
I don't think I would have put that into a suit of this kind.
In any case, it was a promising indicator when, in October of last year, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas did say that he thought legal protections for tech companies are too broad.
So, we'll keep our fingers crossed on this, and let us hope that Laura Loomer and Larry Klayman succeed.
For those of you who may or may not recall, Loomer ran for Congress and she contested Florida's 21st congressional district, the Republican Party, just last year.
But she was the only major political candidate in the country who was denied access to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and PayPal.
And for those who don't recall, she's done a number of things to attract attention.
She is nothing if not gutsy, this Laura Loomer.
On the day of the U.S.
2016 presidential election, she showed up at a polling station dressed in a burqa and asked for a ballot under the name of Huma Abedin.
That was the name of one of Hillary Clinton's close associates who was associated with certain unsavory rumors and activities.
In 2019, Laura Loomer persuaded several men she met in a Home Depot parking lot, whom she said were illegal aliens, into jumping the fence at Nancy Pelosi's house at Napa, California.
The group set up a tent on Pelosi's lawn, and I believe they started frying eggs on a little camp stove.
The idea was to protest immigration.
To point out that walls have a purpose, and most of the time they work, they were subsequently removed by the police.
I haven't heard as to what happened to the illegal aliens who took part.
In January of 2019, Ms.
Loomer and others jumped the wall surrounding the California Governor's Mansion in Sacramento.
Once again, to show that walls have a purpose.
They wore Mexican capes and sombreros, and one wore a large false mustache.
And they were, of course, protesting Governor Newsom's stance on immigration, the hypocrisy of those who live behind walls, but say that the rest of us should not live behind a wall that protects our entire country.
Now, Chelsea Clinton got the surprise of her life, thanks to Laura Luma, during a book signing She had just come out with a new children's book called She Persisted.
Well, I think that could have been about Laura Loomer.
Well, Ms.
Loomer went up and asked if the former first daughter would not sign the book with a dedication to Juanita Broderick.
Juanita Broderick, as you may recall, is one of about a dozen women who claim that President Clinton had abused or even raped her.
Well, I don't think that she got the dedication to the book that Ms.
Loomer had hoped for.
Now, Laura Loomer has been not only silenced by all of the platforms that have silenced me, she's been banned from PayPal, also from Uber, her bank account is frozen.
She has really been a quite courageous campaigner in the name of freedom of speech.
And she does take up some a number of anti-immigration stances that I think are thoroughly admirable.
So let us hope that she gets her case before the justices of the Supreme Court.
Now here's another story that some may consider a good news story depending on one's angle.
It's about foreign aid and it came out just this week and it was written by the New York Times editorial board so it represents the stance of the entire paper.
Let me read a few passages.
Sending Aid to Africa became popular in the 1980s, when a famine in Ethiopia prompted some of the most famous singers in the world to raise money for food aid with concerts and songs like We Are the World.
Well, Sending Aid to Africa's been going on long since the 1980s, but be that as it may.
There is an amusing story about one of those concerts, and it goes like this.
Apparently, Bono In the middle of a concert, he stops, calls for silence, and starts clapping his hands, fairly slowly, every second or two.
And the audience is mystified by this, and he says, Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.
Someone in the back row shouted out, Well then stop clapping your bloody hands!
Well, I have been told that this is an apocryphal story.
I wish it were not.
It makes a good story anyway, and why let the truth spoil a good story?
In any case, continuing with the New York Times editorial board's position on Aid to Africa.
Today, a rising African middle class on a continent that is home to nearly two dozen billionaires is challenging previous assumptions.
Civic leaders from Africa say that the white savior mentality of the world's foreign aid system can end up doing more harm than good.
They point out that plain loads of free American corn can help famine victims in the short term, but they can also put local farmers out of business, making the food supply in the long term more precarious.
Well, it seems to me that if you stopped flying in free food once the farmers got back into business, you wouldn't have that problem.
And if there's a famine, it's because the local farmers aren't meeting demand.
In any case, the editorial continues.
Relief efforts in Sudan may have saved countless lives, but they also emboldened combatants who controlled access to food, prolonging a brutal war.
Oh, shame, shame, shame for those aid-producing white people.
The editorial continues, The international efforts in Somalia to stand in for the government have sometimes harmed attempts by Somalis to create governing structures of their own, fostering long-term dependency.
Well, I'm sure if Africans were handling these matters on their own, they'd get it absolutely right.
Well, as a result of all of these spectacular failures that can be laid at the feet of white people, N-E-A-R, near, A network of organizations led by people from the global South who are trying to reinvent foreign aid by shifting money and power closer to the communities that aid is meant to serve.
So that's right.
Keep splashing out the dough, Whitey.
Just give it to us so that we can spend it.
And the times continues.
Just when the aid sector seemed impervious to change, an opening came.
And you can guess what that opening was.
In the protests that followed last year's police killing of George Floyd.
Police killing, mind you.
USAID, Britain's aid agency, the Doctors Without Frontiers, all faced allegations of systemic racism in their ranks, and suddenly more Americans seemed willing to listen to the critics.
Now, decolonizing development has become a catchphrase in the aid sector.
And recently, a new American group called the African Visionary Fund announced it would be giving $1 million in flexible funding to African-led organizations.
And these are U.S.-based foundations, but they handed over decision-making power to an African board of directors.
So there you go.
We got to keep ladling out the lolly, but instead of we deciding how it gets spent, the locals get to decide.
And I think the track record of how the locals spend millions that come their way makes, for the most part, piquant reading.
The Times continues, This mirrors a trend taking place in philanthropy inside the United States.
Leaders of American private foundations are increasingly willing to grapple publicly with the fact That organizations run by black and brown people face far steeper hurdles to funding.
So now, the Decolonizing Wealth Project.
So watch out for your pocketbooks.
Your wealth is going to be decolonized, listeners, if you're not careful.
It encourages philanthropists to give more money and power to grassroots leaders.
And has gotten leaders in philanthropy to agree to participate in a panel called Philanthropy So White that will be held later this month.
Philanthropy So White, oh boy.
Your dollars may be green, but you are white, so hand them over without any strings attached.
And says the times, the world is changing.
Foreign aid must change with it.
Yep, Whitey's got to kick in the dough, but somebody else gets to spend it.
And my question is, what about those two dozen African billionaires?
How do they spend their money?
Are the aid agencies going to put the bite on them?
Well, probably not.
No, they are free to spend their money as they choose.
Moving on to classical music.
A fellow named Tyson Davis is the only black student in the composition department at Juilliard, the most prestigious music school in the country.
And he says this about classical music.
It's so annoying.
It's almost segregationist and classist.
There's been this tradition of having the concert hall be peaceful and quiet.
That's so oppressive to exuberant African Americans, I'm sure.
And having the tickets be expensive and only being for old people.
Well, that's right.
Unless you're 65, they won't sell you one.
And oftentimes, the music is very old.
Well, what do you know?
Yes, it is very old.
People still like Mozart and Beethoven and Schumann.
Yes, that's true.
And so there's this ridiculous gap that classical music has been behind from all artistic mediums, he says.
He goes on to say so many people of color that are in all other artistic genres like playwrights, visual artists, actors, they've been praised and worshipped and celebrated, but you look at classical music and you don't see that at all.
Well, I wonder why.
Could it be Something to do with the fact that blacks haven't composed classical music.
Well, and he says he remembers going to his first symphony not seeing anyone who looked like him.
They're all these stuffy old white people.
Excuse my expression.
No, I don't excuse your expression.
Stuffy old white people.
Yeah, if you said that about black people, it'd be curtains, wouldn't it?
Or at least if I did.
He goes on to say this.
Black people have a lot to offer the world of classical music and could translate a deeper understanding of pain and struggle through traditional orchestral instruments.
Well, no thank you.
We're not interested in going to a concert to hear about your pain and struggle.
And where did you get this idea?
How much pain and struggle has this guy had?
20 years old, he's at Juilliard.
I guess he's been painful and struggling all his life.
Well, as a matter of fact, just in 2019, when he's only 18 years old, he was one of the student composers for the National Youth Orchestra, hosted by Carnegie Hall, and his piece was premiered in Berlin, Edinburgh, and Hamburg.
The St.
Paul Chamber Orchestra in Minnesota just commissioned him to write a work.
As has the New York New Music Ensemble.
He says the momentum is building, and he hopes he can use it to bring the industry into the multicolored 21st century.
Oh, the pain.
Oh, the struggle.
The poor boy.
He goes on to say there are composers out there, including myself, and it seems like we're doing a great job at bombing that wall that they've put up for us.
Of course, no one has put up a wall at all.
This guy has, I'm sure, been coddled and petted and slobbered over, has had every possible privilege, but boy, he wants us to sit there in our orchestral seats and listen to his struggle and his pain.
Well, not I. The more blacks are coddled, it's a funny thing, the more they complain.
I think the Obamas are probably the best example.
What more privileged couple can you think of in the entire United States?
But all they ever do is complain about the United States.
How awful, how racist, how Trumpian the country is.
Oh, the poor dears.
Their pain.
Their struggle.
It'll go on until their dying day, I'm sure, thanks to wicked people like me and you listeners.
Here's another struggle.
Here's another story, I beg your pardon, of pain and struggle.
It's about a fellow named Nick King, and one particular night last summer he had trouble sleeping.
The Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd had just began to spread.
And it was at that moment, excuse me, that he had what he calls divine inspiration.
He came up with the idea for Proud Puffs.
Can you guess what Proud Puffs are?
They are a chocolate-flavored, vegan cereal formed in the shape of a black fist.
Proud Puffs.
And he officially launched the Legacy Cereal.
That's the name of the company in December.
Which he says may be the only black-owned cereal company.
Now, Proud Puffs won't be available in stores for some time.
He's working towards mass production, and he's crowdfunding the production.
Customers can expect the cereal to ship in April, and he hopes someday Proud Puffs will be in major grocery stores.
But even now, he says interest is high.
He's been receiving over 600 pre-orders a week, So you all can get in line and get your first edition box of Proud Puffs 2.
The characters on the cover, on the cereal box, are his family.
His sisters, nieces, nephews, and his son.
I'm getting messages from people saying like, wow, my kids are excited to see a full black family on the box.
And on the side of the box, consumers will find a list of influential figures from black history.
He says, my goal with this serial is to uplift the black and brown community.
The brown community?
Any Hispanics?
Any Hispanics on this box cover?
And this is a black fist after all, not a brown fist.
But maybe he'll have black and brown in the next version of it.
He goes on to say, I think everybody should be able to celebrate their culture.
Should be able to celebrate their background and where they're from.
Well, I think so too.
I think maybe I'll start a cereal company.
A cereal company.
Maybe we could make Mighty Whitey Puffs.
Or maybe, I think maybe even better, something, I'd call it Discovery Puffs.
And they'd be in the shape of the Nina, and the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
I think they would do very well.
Well, I'm afraid that I'm going to start disappointing the fellow who came in with the question about depressing news, because here may be some news that is not very joyous.
I have to tell you about Danielle Hopton.
18-year-old Danielle Hopton was an animal lover.
And she spent her free time working at a local animal shelter in the Carolinas and helped her father raise guide dog puppies for the blind.
In the photos, she's a very attractive young lady, wholesome, just the perfect girl next door, 18-year-old Danielle Hopton.
Well, on February 6th, she was beaten to death.
The police received a 911 call about an unconscious, injured woman in a parking lot.
Rushed her to local hospital where, alas, she died.
Detectives subsequently fingered Stephen McNeil, age 20, as the killer and said the two, quote, had previously been in Well, the killer, Stephen McNeil, is a very thuggish-looking African-American fellow citizen of ours, and he had been arrested in December in charge of the felony assault involving strangulation.
In January, That's a month before this killing.
He'd been charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief, but he was released from jail on $2,650 in cash bond, and so he was on the loose and killed Danielle Hopton.
Well, Ms.
Hopton's obituary reads, Danielle always cared deeply about every living creature, especially those who are disadvantaged.
An animal lover.
I'm afraid an animal lover all the way to the end.
And then there's the story of Ez Lee.
Ez Lee was an Asian woman living in Minneapolis.
She was sitting on a blanket at Washington Park in the city.
She was approached by Kamara Lewis, And Kevin Spencer, ages 17 and 15, likewise African-American, fellow citizens of hers and of mine.
They asked for money.
She refused.
They then beat her.
They then raped her.
Then they beat her some more.
Broke her jaw.
Did considerable damage to her and held her underwater.
Well, on September 16th, so this goes back a few days, She was found in Washington Park by bystanders, still breathing but unconscious, severely beaten and left for dead, naked below the waist, indicating sexual assault.
At a hospital examination confirmed that she had been raped.
She died in the hospital three days later, never having been able to say a single word as to what had happened to her.
The two perps had nine other accomplices who just stood around and watched, and one of them used Kamara Lewis's cell phone to take videos.
Then, Lewis, proud of his exploits, no doubt, sent copies of the video to people on Facebook Messenger.
Well, this was a cold case.
This is back in September.
It was a cold case until detectives got a call from the mother of one of the witnesses who said she, quote, may have a video they'd be interested in seeing on his old iPhone.
She said it was sent to her son by this Kamara Lewis character.
And she said the video showed two boys beating a lady.
And you could tell who they were.
And she said there were a lot of other kids standing around.
Well, prosecutors, thanks to this video, managed to track down Kamara Lewis, and he confessed that, well, yes, he did beat her.
Well, yes, he did rape her.
And, well, yes, he didn't call for help.
He figured Lee was dead.
Poor Lee.
And he says he didn't really care about her because she's not someone he knows personally.
At one point, he even claimed that she asked him to have sex with her.
Now I bring this up because this is a pretty gruesome crime.
And now, although two have been charged, some of the others who are involved in this rape and murder are being taken in as at least accessories.
But this crime has barely received any media attention.
My suspicion is that you have not heard of it.
And yes, once again, this is the activities of a certain badly persecuted and oppressed minority in the United States, but this time the victim was a 36-year-old Asian lady.
And finally, on the same theme, I regret to have to tell you about the fate of Rebecca Landreth, 47 years old, of Alexandria.
She worked as a model in New York City and was a finalist for the Miss Manhattan Contest.
She appeared in many product advertisements, video commercials, magazines.
Well, just last weekend, she was found shot dead along Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania.
She had many gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and throat, and the medical examinators removed no fewer than 18 bullets from her body.
Eighteen!
Police found a note in her pocket that led to the arrest of 28-year-old Tracy Rollins on Wednesday, a truck driver, and, I must say, a very primitive-looking African-American fellow citizen.
Well, so far, not too many surprises, but the story becomes mysterious and, in some respects, even more tragic.
Investigators say the truck driver picked up Ms.
Landreth at a truck stop in Connecticut and the two traveled around the country for a while before he killed her.
What's this?
Police say Landreth frequented the area of the Connecticut truck stop where she met Romans.
What was she doing there?
And in fact, surveillance footage from the Travel Plaza confirms he picked her up right then and there.
And police in Connecticut said a car registered to Landreth was abandoned near a truck stop right there in Milford.
So this, as I say, this is extremely mysterious.
The coroner also reported that the body, Miss Landreth, had hair dyed black.
Her modeling photos show her as a blonde, really quite a gorgeous blonde.
And Landress's brother George said she modeled in New York until recently.
So what in the world happened?
It's very hard to find out anything about this.
Of course, this is just local news.
But what in the world possessed this beautiful woman to hang around at a truck stop, let herself get picked up by this fellow, drive around with him for a while, spending nights in motels, and then get herself shot to death?
A crazy, terrible, tragic story, one about which we will probably never, ever learn the details.
Alas, rest in peace, Rebecca Landreth.
You paid with your life for a very, very foolish decision.
And moving on to a story about Larry Krasner.
Larry Krasner.
You probably recognize that name.
He's the District Attorney of Philadelphia.
Got into office with the help of George Soros, just dropping a mountain of money on the campaign.
Well, the story that ends up in Larry Krasner's pocket starts with Tyree Herring, age 47, of Northeast Philadelphia.
He has quite a little rap sheet.
In 1993, he was found guilty of defiant trespass.
Not quite sure what that was.
I suppose you're in somebody's yard and you tell them to get out and he's defiant.
As well as aggravated assault, which is a serious felony.
In 2000, he pleaded guilty once again to aggravated assault and indecent assault.
In 2012, he pleaded guilty to harassment and simple assault.
2013, he was found guilty of harassment, and again, indecent assault.
At some point, he became a registered sex offender.
Apparently, one of his favorite tricks was to ride along on a bicycle and grab the backsides of passing women.
But he did more serious things like that than that.
You don't get hauled in for aggravated assault for feeling up women on the sidewalk.
Well, on January 10, 2019, while he was still on probation for previous crimes, Tyree Herring was arrested for stealing a car.
And this is where Larry Krasner steps in.
Larry Krasner, public servant, champion of the criminal.
He was charged with theft and receiving stolen property.
Those are both third-degree felonies, as well as unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, having stolen the car.
But that's just a second-degree misdemeanor.
While at a plea bargain, arranged by the generous Mr. Krasner, the two felony charges were dropped.
And Herring pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor.
That is to say, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and was on probation, still walking around after all of these many crimes.
Well, he's still on probation, and on May 9th, 2020, arrested for burglary.
His bail was supposed to be set at $10,000, meaning he would have to put $10,000 in cash to get out of jail, but thanks to Larry Krasner, no bail necessary, and he got to walk free.
He didn't have to post a cent, and he's out of jail.
This is the sort of thing that happens when you have these criminal-loving district attorneys.
Well, on February 11 of this year, when we finally get to the present, or close to the present, the police got a call about a burglary in process involving a U-Haul truck.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found a U-Haul truck with Arizona license plates.
A little bit odd in Philadelphia, but I suppose U-Haul, so that's what you'd expect.
They searched the back of the van and they found a trash bag with a dismembered human torso.
Now, Tyree Herring, he's the guy we've been talking about with the lovely criminal record, claimed he did not kill the victim, but yeah, well, he did chop him up.
Nah, I didn't do him anything.
I just found him, I guess.
And then cut him in pieces.
According to police, Herring then told the cops that after he hacked up the victim with an electric saw and a hacksaw, he deep fried various parts.
Now there's no report on whether or not he ate any of these parts, but now, even Larry Krasner has decided that he better be held without bail.
I guess at some point, even loving Larry will keep people in the pokey.
Till he comes up for trial.
Let's hope he doesn't get out anytime soon.
Just a little note on Larry Krasner.
As you can imagine, he is not popular with the police.
Police work mighty hard to track down the people who commit the kind of horrible things of which Tyree Herring is guilty.
And you can imagine how furious they are when Larry Krasner and his minions turn them loose.
Well, last March, Nearly a year ago, when he showed up at the Temple University Hospital, where a police officer had died that morning, shot by yet another criminal that was just the sort of person that Larry Klasner seemed to love, the fallen officer's comrades linked arms and wouldn't let him in.
He was going to go in and pretend he was so sorry.
Oh, poor police officer.
Oh, bad criminals.
They wouldn't let him in.
They linked arms and said, you're going to have to push your way through.
Well, and then, of course, he refused to answer reporters' questions about why he couldn't get into the hospital.
But that just goes to show you how Philadelphia's finest feel about Larry Krasner.
I certainly feel the same way.
And let us hope that when they have the opportunity, the people of Philadelphia will throw the bounder out.
Just a little footnote on Philadelphia.
As of February 16th, that is to say just two days ago, Philadelphia, and once again this is Larry Krasner's stomping ground, had had 71 homicides.
That's a 42% increase over the same period in 2020.
There have also been a total of 258 fatal and non-fatal gunshot victims.
That's a 68% over the same period in 2020.
So, under Larry Krasner, the city is having a pretty frisky time.
On February 8th, Philadelphia had no fewer than 7 murders in just one day.
7 murders.
Well, 2020, last year, Philadelphia had a total of 499 homicides.
That was just one shy Of the city's record of 500, which was set in 1990, 30 years ago.
We'll see.
We'll see whether Larry can boost the city back over that record and put one into the record books.
But, but, but, but wait a minute.
Donald Trump is no longer in the White House.
Wasn't all this supposed to stop?
Wasn't, doesn't Joe Biden, isn't he going to bring unity, peace, goodwill, and happiness to the entire world?
Well, I guess it hasn't happened yet.
Well, let me speak to you on this occasion of Thomas Fairfax.
He was the sixth Lord Fairfax of Cammon.
He was born in 1639 and died in 1781.
in 1639 and died in 1781.
He was one of the largest landowners in the Virginia area.
He was the owner of what was called the Northern Neck Proprietary.
It consisted of five million acres that stretched from the Chesapeake Bay to the outskirts of what eventually became Pittsburgh.
There are many, many places named after him.
Fairfax County, for one, that is the county where your servant lives.
Then there's the city of Fairfax and thousands of businesses and institutions.
There's also a Lord Fairfax Community College, but not for much longer.
And why has it decided to change its name?
The Virginia State Board for Community Colleges in July asked all of the colleges in its system to review their names as similar efforts spread across the nation, especially in Virginia.
And why did these efforts take place in July?
Once again, Because of the patron saint of fentanyl overdose, George Floyd.
Once again, violence works!
Writing works!
All sorts of things happen if you burn down enough buildings, if you loot enough stores, so long as the media are on your side.
Of course, it is absolutely ridiculous to change any kind of policy, or consider a change of policy, or really think about any sort of action, whether it's foreign aid, the names of a community college, where you're going to send your charitable contributions, Because of riots, but because we are led by fools.
This is the kind of thing that happens all the time.
Well, under orders to review its name, Lord Fairfax Community College undertook what it calls six months of study, focus group discussions, and brand research study.
Brand research study?
Well, I guess a college education is like, I don't know, selling Pop-Tarts or semi-soft dog food.
You've got to get the branding right.
Lord Fairfax, that sounds pretty elegant to me, but no, no, no, no.
Well, President Kim Blosser, Kim, by the way, is a white lady, and she said this about getting the branding right.
I said many times that his name is just not good enough for us.
She said this in a video addressed to staff and students.
We are much better than what that name would show.
And she goes on to say, the Lord Fairfax Community College Board has accepted the responsibility and opportunity to move forward with renaming the college to reflect the vision and mission for the future for our communities and our students.
Well, what's wrong with Lord Fairfax?
I'll give you a hint.
He lived in Virginia, after all, and consider the time period, 1639 to 1781.
Well, that's during the period of the Revolution.
So, gosh, was he a Tory during the Revolution?
Has that come to light?
Was he a betrayer of the early American nation?
Did he harbor British troops on some of his five million acres?
Of course, that's not the problem.
That's not the problem.
Alas.
He was a man of his times, and he owned slaves, so his name will have to go.
I wonder if the county where I live is going to have to change its name, too.
In any case, what used to be, or what is still for the time being, I suppose, Lord Fairfax Community College, it will announce a new name next year.
I'm sorry, later this year.
I beg your pardon.
You'll be sure to get the branding right.
Maybe George Floyd Community College.
Good name recognition there, all right?
So what's What's the problem with George Floyd?
Well, we'll see.
It'll be interesting to see.
Because, so far, every occasion in which I've seen in which a white man's name had to go because he was a wicked racist or white supremacist or something, it's always been replaced with a black person's name.
So, but, they're talking about, they're talking about, let's see, they're going to talk about an opportunity to move forward with renaming the college to reflect the vision and mission for the future.
Well, is the mission and the vision for the future, is that really going to be black?
We'll have to see.
It'll be an interesting struggle for the board and for Ms.
Kim Blosser, who for the time being runs the place.
Moving on to the University of Leicester in Britain, and I believe they're going through a similar psychological trauma to that of Lord Fairfax Community College.
It has decided to remove courses from its English department on the Canterbury Tales and replace them with courses on... Can you guess?
Can you guess?
Yes, I think you can guess.
Chaucer and the Canterbury Tales are going to be replaced with courses on sexuality, diversity, race, and ethnicity.
And not just Chaucer.
Anything written before 1500.
Out the window.
It's just old fuddy-duddies.
Old, uninteresting, and dead white men.
Got to go.
That means Beowulf.
Beowulf's got to go.
That's considered the earliest work of English literature.
But who cares?
It's old and white.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
As well as Sir Thomas Malory's La Mort d'Arthur, the 15th century chronicle of legends of King Arthur.
So why has this all got to go?
Well, a university spokesman has got it all figured out and says this.
We want to offer courses that match our students' own interests and enthusiasms as reflected in their choices and the feedback we've been hearing.
So that's right.
These people show up 18 years old, 17 years old, 19 years old.
They get to decide.
They know better.
And I guess they want to learn all about sexuality, diversity, race, and ethnicity.
And to hell with Geoffrey Chaucer.
The spokesman says, the aim of our proposals is to offer a suite of undergraduate degrees that provide modules which students expect of an English degree.
Whatever they expect.
Gosh, if I were a student, I would expect an English degree in exchange for no work at all.
That's what I want for my English degree.
And a familiarity with Chaucer and medieval authors is no longer what they expect.
But race-mongering is.
That is central to an English degree.
Now, the plot thickens.
As it turns out, the vice-chancellor of Leicester University, who has been at the centre of the diversity push, and who has said it's a long-term strategy to compete at a global level, is Sri Lankan-born Nishan Kanagaraja.
Now tell me, what in the world is a Nishan Kanagaraja doing in a position of authority to tell the people of Britain what they should study for an English degree?
Could anything be more absurd?
Well, I suppose with a little thought, probably you can come up with something.
But he's the guy who has got his shoulder to the wheel of diversity, and he thinks that by pitching Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales, he's going to compete on a global level.
What a miserable, humiliating joke.
Well, here's a spot of good news.
Professor Isabel Armstrong, who is a fellow of the British Academy, she turned in her honorary degree.
She says, take it back.
And in her language, she did it in protest at the egregious attack on the integrity of English at Leicester and the attempt to eradicate 100 plus years of language and literature from the curriculum.
Well, exactly.
Well, bravo, bravo, Professor Isabel Armstrong.
I hope there are many more like you who can shame Nisham Kanagaraja into doing something a little bit more respectful of the nation of which he is no doubt a citizen.
Well, staying on the other side of the pond, I must tell you of the axe that is threatening to fall on Generation Identity.
Generation Identity is one of the most stalwart groups in Europe that speaks up for Europeans.
Unfortunately, the French Interior Minister, Gérald Darmanin, A member of Emmanuel Macron's party, which is called La République en Marche, the Republic on the Go, he has officially begun the procedures that would end up banning G.I.
And this group, I think it's got a wonderful logo.
Some of you may be familiar with it.
It's the Lambda, which is inspired by what was on the shields of the Spartans when at Thermopylae they were fighting the Persian conquest of Greece.
They are very clear about their intention of defending the ethnic identity, the European culture, and they say it is threatened by miscegenation.
For them, the idea of cohabitation, the cooperation and coexistence of different cultures is impossible, and they unabashedly wish to preserve their own, and they do not want it diluted, displaced, or As the great Frenchman Renaud Camus says, to be victims of the Great Replacement.
They're really fine people.
Some of them have attended American Renaissance conferences.
We had one of their leaders, Fabrice Robert, speak at a conference.
When I've been in France, I've visited those people, had discussions with them, spoken at their meetings.
They are first-rate people, and the idea that they're somehow a threat to the country, the way the Emmanuel Macron government seems to be, is just absolute absurdity.
They've never done anything violent.
I suppose you could say that they break the law.
For example, one of their actions, one of their early actions, was at Tours where Charles Martel defeated the Muslims in 732.
They took over the site of a mosque that was under construction and they raised the generation identity banner Obviously, as a symbol of protest against the idea of the reconquest of France by Muslims.
They want no more mosques, no more Muslims.
They also had a really rather spectacular operation at one of France's Alpine passes.
They set up a symbolic barrier along the border and said no immigrants.
This is one where some illegal immigrants were crossing.
This attracted a lot of attention.
Generation Identity also chartered a boat to monitor what the busybody NGOs were up to in the Mediterranean.
These are the people who are making sure that they would fish illegal immigrants who are coming across from Libya out of the water and make sure they got to Europe rather than, of course, returning to Libya from whence they came.
That would have been the obvious thing to do if somebody is shipwrecked and he has absolutely no right to be in Europe to take him back from wherever he disembarked.
But no, the NGOs would not do that and Generation Identity chartered a boat to track him down and chronicle what they were doing and make sure that they were exposed.
Now, on what basis is the Interior Minister threatening to dissolve the group?
There is a code, a part of the French code, is on internal security and it outlaws the provocation to discrimination, hate or violence towards people or groups because of their origin.
Well, this is a very broad and badly worded law, and this is what they are charged under.
One of the few people who has come to the defense of generation identity is Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Assembly, originally known as the National Front.
And she has said that it is very important that the liberty of expression be preserved in France, And it is outrageous that anyone should threaten to dissolve this group.
As it turns out, the national rally is apparently, according to polls, the French are saying that when the elections come around in 2022, Marine Le Pen is likely to get 48% of the vote in the first round for the elections for President of the Republic.
That would be an excellent score that would clearly put her in the running for the second round, probably once again against Emmanuel Macron.
This would be the best sort of performance that the National Front or the National Rally would have put in to date after years and years of campaigning.
In any case, it is ironic that the Interior Minister, Gerald Darmanin, he has been under attack for being too far to the right.
He opposes homosexual marriage and he claims to oppose the Islamization of France.
It seems that Darmanin is trying to prove himself to the rest of the French establishment.
He is, once again, a typical example of the kind of conservative who is worse than useless.
These people accept orders from the left.
These people accept the idea that there are certain limits on the acceptable bound of discourse, and someday they will recognize that if they kowtow to the left, It's all very well as they try to squelch people to their right, they too will someday be squelched.
If they are accessories to the Great Replacement, if they stand by and let their country be filled up with people who are not French, who don't want to be French, who are incapable of being French, these people who are snuffing out their opponents will surely be snuffed out.
Are they fools?
Are they cowards?
Are they both?
Hard to say.
In the meantime, and this is a special message for those of you who are listening in Europe, And I know you're out there.
Generation Identity is trying to mobilize people for a protest march in Paris this Saturday to shout out their implacable opposition to the idea that their group should be legalized and disbanded.
Again, this will be in Paris this Saturday.
I'm sure there are sites on the internet where you can get the details.
There used to be excellent videos of Generation Identity on YouTube.
Many of them have been removed, but I just saw one on YouTube of a very attractive young blonde girl explaining that this rally is to take place, and she said the details would be available soon.
So, again, all of our listeners, if you're in Europe, if you're in striking distance, especially if you are in France, Do not fail to make your voices heard in defense of generation identity and in defense of Europe and our people.
So, we have yet another foreign story.
This is a fascinating Reuters account, and it's called Truth Panel Could Help Mexico with Slavery Legacy.
Well, gee, I'm sure the Mexicans are just clamoring for help with their slavery legacy.
Now, just who is saying that a truth panel could help the Mexicans with their slavery legacy?
None other than Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of the great American saint, He says that a Truth and Reconciliation Commission could help come to terms with the African slavery past, and he said this during a visit to Mexico.
He's right there.
Tell him what's what.
He is 63 years old, and so far as I can tell, he's never had a proper job in his life.
He has traded on the reputation and legacy of his daddy.
He has been very good at turning a buck from being the scion of the saint.
He says both Mexico and the United States should consider South African style reconciliation processes fully to acknowledge the past.
In his words, a truth and reconciliation commission gives people the opportunity to come and apologize for past conduct.
So that you have a new slate.
Well, who gets to apologize?
White people, of course.
And only white people.
Would black people ever have anything to apologize for?
Brown people?
No.
Absolutely not.
Never.
Never.
Especially not black people.
But, although he says, apologize for past conduct so you have a clean slate.
No.
He doesn't have in mind a clean slate.
He says reparations for slavery should flow from such a process.
Don't fall for this clean slate con.
No, no, no.
White people, white people get to apologize.
Then black people get to pat them on the head and say, there, there, there, there.
That'll be $50 billion.
Maybe $50 trillion while we're at it.
Well, so Mexico should go through the same thing, of course.
Anybody who enslaved blacks, except for Africans, they started it and they kept up at it longer than anybody else, but nobody seems to think that they need to be shaken down.
No, no, no, it's only non-Africans.
White people, white people, yes, those wicked white people.
Well, as it turns out, about 200,000 Africans were brought to Mexico as slaves.
That's about half the number that came to what became the United States as slaves.
Now, interestingly enough, the number of people who claim to be black in Mexico is rising.
Rising quite rapidly.
A 2020 census counted 2.5 million, or 2% of the population.
That's 1 in 50, far fewer than in the United States, who identified as having African descent.
Now, I don't know how much that's up from a previous census, the census of five years earlier, but it's clear that Black privilege is gaining ground in Mexico just as it is in the United States.
This I consider to be a very bad sign.
We will see whether the Mexicans sit still for the idea that they have to be shaken down as a consequence of slavery.
Again, there's not a very large black population.
They're not the people who run around making noise.
They did have an uprising of the indigenous people in one of the southern states.
And that lasted for quite some time, but for the most part, blacks stay pretty quiet in Mexico.
Let us hope that they don't start getting strange ideas for what goes on in the United States, but just the very fact that Martin Luther King III is in Mexico, rousing them and making trouble, is to me a very bad sign.
