Aren’t the B’s and I’s in BIPOC Double Dipping?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the latest episode of Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host.
I'd like to start, as we often do, with a listener comment.
We have been using from time to time the acronym BIPOC, which stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, or Persons of Color.
And the listener says, well, wait a minute.
Insofar as all those people are people of color, aren't the bees and the eyes, that is to say the blacks and indigenous, double dipping?
Hmm?
How come they get special treatment?
Well, good question.
I should think pock is all we need, but maybe people got tired of the idea of a pocks on their family or talking about pocks.
In any case, our listener suggests no whim.
That would stand for no white male.
That makes it very clear who these people are.
Well, I think maybe it should be no shwim, no straight white male.
In any case, I have often wondered myself about this BIPOC business.
Why aren't they just POCs?
But these are mysteries.
I guess it's one of those sayings used to wear a black... Blacks used to wear a t-shirt that said, it's a black thing.
You wouldn't understand.
Well, I guess it's a BIPOC thing and people like me just wouldn't understand.
Well, I would like to begin this podcast with a story of an important victory.
It took place just last Saturday in the town of South Lake, Texas.
Whites all got together and won a clean sweep in local elections on a single issue, fighting critical race theory in the schools.
Now, you all know what critical race theory is.
That's the idea that all white people are inherently oppressors, whether we want to or not, and every BIPOC person is inherently wonderful and guiltless of all these things.
It basically is a way to demonize white people, blame us for everything that's ever gone wrong for any BIPOC anywhere ever in the world.
Now, South Lake is just northwest of Dallas.
It has its own little school district, and it got caught up in the George Floyd hysteria.
And it put together what it called a Cultural Competence Action Plan.
This is a remarkable document, 34 pages of the usual wiffle waffle, and it used the word diversity 104 times.
I counted 104 times, ladies and gentlemen.
Fortunately, you can use the search function, so I didn't have to count all four times.
But in 34 pages, 104 instances of diversity.
Well, the apparent parents, they figured out what was going on.
They immediately set up something called the Southlake Families Pack.
To fight this rubbish.
And they piled into school board meetings, and they denounced the diversity police, and they said this is going to be discrimination against white children, but even more important, and this is something I wish to underline, they ran candidates for two open school board seats, two city council seats, and for the mayor's office.
Well, of course, they got the usual slam treatment.
Some pop-tart gummy bear named Demi Lovato, whose opinions apparently matter to somebody, raged about what she called parents in Southlake, Texas, literally fighting to uphold white supremacy.
Even more significant, the local Democrat Party put up a post calling all five of the candidates racists.
Well, well.
Every one of the racists won.
Every one.
With a crushing majority of 70% or so of the vote.
Yes.
Also, they mobilized about three times as many voters for these local, they had 9,000 voters, which is about three times the usual score of about 3,000 people turning out for these elections.
So this was a remarkable example of what can be achieved when white folks, is it possible to talk about the white community?
When the white community begins to organize.
So that was the end of the road for critical race theory at South Lake.
But, these people will be back.
They're always back.
The yahoos never sleep.
But I do want to call attention to all of our listeners.
This was a significant achievement and it does go to show the sorts of things that can be accomplished.
And I have been saying for years that as the lefties get more and more unreasonable and wild, it will drive more and more people into some state of racial consciousness.
And when whites object to being called racist, then people turn right around and say, well, By objecting to being called racist, that's proof that you're a white supremacist.
I think that will wake them up even more and will send them our way.
Let us hope so.
In any case, this is some of the best news that I have heard in quite some time.
So, hats off to the white moms and dads of the students of Southlake High School.
Well, paradoxically, Mr. Taylor, Critical Race Theory wants white people to Embrace their whiteness so that they can, of course, be kicked to the curb and forced to wallow in the mud of their ancestors and realize this is why you're holding everyone down.
But at the same time, in doing that, it is strangely causing everyone that encounters this in public schools to question, wait a second, What do you say about our history?
I mean, this is, it's fascinating because this is happening all across America, as you noted.
And my question is, you were reading that story.
I didn't know about the, uh, massive vote turnout as opposed to, you know, normally local election.
No one cares.
Yeah.
I've got better things to do, but in this case, this is an issue that we're going to see increasingly creep into local politics, local school boards, And it is paramount that people, if you have the opportunity and if you can withstand the slings and arrows that will come your way when you go up and you confront the school boards that are implementing these policies, you become a hero.
And these people clearly resisted that.
And when the people had an opportunity to speak in the confidential circumstances of the ballot box, they were overwhelmingly supported.
Now, I didn't mention this, but one of the non-whites that was lovingly and admiringly quoted by NBC's coverage of this, which was just a hand wringing with disapproval, this non-white person says, well, the demographics are changing, just give us time.
Yes.
So, the Great Replacement?
Oh, no, no, no.
That's just a myth.
That's not happening.
But, yes, and I hope that this outfit called the Southlake Families Pack, I hope those people stay together and be on the alert and, if possible, go on the offensive.
Well, the demographics are changing, to that individual's point, but at the same time, also is changing, as we've seen.
A little bit of resistance.
I think 2016 was the beginning of that with the election of someone that you went on for years.
If you go back through the archive, you questioned his character the entire time.
Correctly.
Well, I voted for him and I'd vote for him again probably if he were the choice against any Democrat.
But in any case, moving right along to the other high-profile trial that just practically disappeared from view because it seemed that Derek Chauvin sucked all of the air right out of the room and left the Ahmaud Arbery case gasping.
But give us an update on what's happening.
Well, Ahmaud Arbery, of course, let's go back February 23rd, 2020.
He was the individual who people thought was, I think we heard the word lynched, Mr. Taylor.
A couple white guys saw this guy who apparently was not a jogger.
He was casing properties for things, so they went to do a citizen's arrest.
He tried to grab the shotgun.
He was shot.
Well, the Justice Department has brought federal hate crime charges In the death of Ahmaud Arbery charging the father and son
who are in themselves chased and fatally shot the 25 year old black man
After spotting him running in their Georgia neighborhood.
No notice in that opening paragraph They at least didn't say that they were white guys, but
they did have to make sure that everybody knows Ahmaud Arbery was black
Travis McMichael and his father Gregory were charged along with a third man
William Roddy Bryan with one count of interference with civil rights and attempted kidnapping
The McMichaels are also charged with using carrying and brandishing a firearm
during a crime of violence.
Now, if you recall, William Roddy Bryan was the individual who videotaped that encounter.
So I encourage all of our listeners out there, if you aren't familiar,
if you've forgotten about this, because of course, it was in May of 2020 that George Floyd sucked all
that oxygen out of the room.
But this was the case that kind of set the stage, because this is what you had to hear about daily, Mr.
Taylor, that there were these menacing white men in the South
who were hearkening back to the darkest days of Jim Crow America.
The indictment charges that McMichaels, quote, armed themselves with firearms, got into a truck, and chased Arbery through the public streets of the neighborhood while yelling at Arbery, using their truck to cut off his route, and threatening him with firearms, end quote.
It also alleges that Brian got into a truck and then chased Arbery, using the vehicle to block his path.
Well, I just don't know what the hate crime is.
This guy had been spotted several times snooping around a building under construction.
I think there'd been theft from similar building construction sites, and they just wanted to get a hold of this guy, who was at the very least a trespasser.
What civil right is being violated here?
But this is precisely the kind of thing the feds love to do, especially if they fail in state court.
And as a matter of fact, the Feds are now cooking up civil rights charges.
Now, this is a hate crime charge, apparently.
It is a hate crime charge, that's right.
What's the hate going on?
I don't know.
Just because he's black, that makes it a hate crime, I guess.
The feds are cooking up civil rights charges against Derek Chauvin and the Department of Justice.
They have a plan.
It's almost like hate crimes, really, but the idea that this police brutality charge and the three other cops on duty with him When Floyd died in May of last year, as you point out, this federal investigation has been running in parallel with the authorities presenting evidence before a grand jury of 23 citizens who will decide if there is probable cause to bring charges of depriving him of his civil rights.
Now, Again, this is a chance to get what's called two bites at the apple.
The Constitution says you can't be charged twice the same crime, double jeopardy, but this seems to be a very, very clear example of it.
If they couldn't get him on state charges, they'll say, oh, well, this is something entirely different.
He was depriving him of his civil rights.
This isn't the same crime.
I think it's just a sickening thing, but they just love to do it.
However, as I say, they had this grand jury presentation going on to see if there's public cause to bring an indictment, but Federal prosecutors were ready to move in and charge Chauvin on federal counts if he were not found guilty or if there was a hung jury.
In the state case, this was a secret plot between the DOJ and their state counterparts in the Minnesota U.S.
Attorney's Office, the people who were trying him on that very case, on the state case.
So DOJ is saying, okay, if you guys don't make it, yeah, and just, you know, we'll step in and we'll arrest him right on the spot.
And they had some process called criminal complaint that does not require a grand jury.
If the grand jury had not come in with indictment, they were going to step in and arrest him anyway.
And part of the thinking is that a not guilty verdict or a hung jury would prompt fresh riots.
So they were, of course, aware of the consequences of a not guilty verdict.
And of course, jurors were too, although we're supposed to pretend that, oh, no, no, no.
They were utterly uninfluenced by that.
So, there you go.
Even if he's found guilty, they're still going to charge him with civil rights or the civil rights violation in a federal case.
This is just infuriating to them.
Speaking of infuriating, what are your thoughts on the interviews we've seen with one of the jurors who apparently participated in Black Lives Matter?
Oh, you're asking about Brandon Mitchell.
I am.
Brandon Mitchell.
Yes, he was one of the jurors who voted to convict.
He has been enjoying quite a little period of fame.
He's been speaking to media outlets here and there.
He's 31 years old, and in the midst of all of these media appearances he's been making, which he described the process whereby, yes, we all knew he was guilty right from the start.
So, bam, bam, bam, guilty, guilty, guilty.
Well, turns out that a photograph of him has been circulating on social media, attending an August 28th protest in Washington, D.C.
He is wearing a t-shirt with a picture of Martin Luther King, and around it are the words, Get Your Knee Off Our Backs, and Black Lives Matter, and he's wearing a BLM cap.
So, that sounds like he's got a particular point of view.
Now, the interesting aspect here is that in the questionnaire that was sent out before jury selection, he wrote no when he was asked if he'd attended any anti-police brutality rallies.
Now this, well, and Judge Cahill asked him during jury selection whether he'd heard anything about the George Floyd civil case.
That's the one that awarded 20.
He said, no, no, you didn't know anything about that.
They just know a few things about the case.
No, nothing important.
Well, now he is saying, He doesn't ever remember wearing or owning a shirt like that, or a cap that said Black Lives Matter on it.
He doesn't remember that.
And then he says, yeah, yeah, I was at the rally, but it had nothing to do with police brutality.
It was not a commemoration of George Floyd.
It was held on the very day that Martin Luther King gave that famous talk in this I Have a Dream speech.
So no, no, no, it was only about celebrating Martin Luther King.
Well, As it turns out, who were some of the speakers of the rally?
And this rally was, of course, organized by our usual friend, good old Al Sharpton.
He was there.
And one of the people who were, some of the people who were speaking, there were the brother and sister, Philonise and Bridget Floyd, relatives of George Floyd, and other family members of people who have been brutally and racially exploitatively slain in cold blood by the police all over America, as we know happens every day.
They were there.
But no, this was not about police brutality.
Of course not.
Now, just on April 27th, he also said something I find quite fascinating, and he was on one of the morning shows, one of the morning television shows.
He said that people should say yes to jury duty.
Why?
Because it's a way to promote social change.
He says jury duty is one of those things.
You can promote social change.
Oh boy!
Now, of course, this will surely be part of the request for a new trial, a mistrial, because he is supposed to get a fair trial before an impartial jury.
Correct, correct.
This guy does not sound like an impartial juror.
And, of course, there was all the massive civil settlement before the case was made.
That certainly must have changed the minds of jurors.
All the shooting of Daunte Wright, and all of the frolicking and ferocious screaming that went on.
It was in Brooklyn, a place called Brooklyn Center, right outside of Milwaukee.
One of the jurors had to drive through all of these crowds whenever she went home.
In fact, she said, well, yeah, we were worried if we voted to convict that people would be showing up.
Our lives might be in danger.
Oh, boy, that sounds impartial.
Well, think about all the people who were on the stand.
They were brought in as witnesses or as expert witnesses, and they had their houses vandalized.
Well, we know of one case.
His name was Broad, if I'm not mistaken, Dr. Broad.
Yeah, the former house that he'd lived in, some Antifa types got a hold of that address.
They left a pig's head on the door and they splattered blood all over the place.
Now that, of course, is a real concern too.
Who is going to be prepared to serve as an expert witness in cases like this when this kind of thing happens to you?
But that is the psychological frame of mind in which all of these Crazy anti-police, anti-white people operate.
So, we'll see.
And, of course, there was the Maxine Waters showed up before the jury verdict, no, before it went to the jury.
That's right.
Before they were even sequestered.
That weekend, that Saturday.
That's right.
Saying that, oh, if they don't acquit, we gotta be even more confrontational.
Wow, 300 cities put on curfew, that's not enough.
We gotta be even more confrontational.
Yes, Maxine.
Yes, Maxine.
And so, the fact that the judge refused to remove the trial, he refused to sequester the jurors throughout all of this, I think there's substantial grounds for an appeal.
Well, don't forget Joe Biden's comments.
Oh, yes.
When he reached out to the Floyd family.
But that was only after the jury went into sequestration.
They didn't hear about that while they were... That's what we're supposed to think, anyway.
So, yeah, did he get a fair trial?
Ha, ha, ha.
Impossible.
Well, that's what we predicted from the start.
The chance of a fair trial were less than zero.
But now, of course, it'll be up to judges to decide.
Judges are just as terrified of rioters as anybody else.
Or their homes, or their families, or their children being ostracized because of their actions that could Well, you know, help untie the binds that keep us somewhat together in this unraveling country.
And what keeps us together?
Keeping Hawaii down?
Keeping people's foot on the neck of Hawaii?
That's what keeps us together?
And an actual fair verdict that's going to tear us apart?
That's the kind of country we live in now, Mr. Kersey, I'm afraid to say.
I'm not afraid to say it.
It's a sad indictment.
I am sad to say.
I'm sad to say.
Now, there's some interesting commentary on student government.
I had never heard of someone by the name of Gabby Crooks, a Stanford University sophomore running for re-election in student government.
Well, it has turned out that in July of last year, she tweeted, among other things, Yes, I think white people need to be eradicated.
Eradicated.
Got that?
Yes, I will go feral over mediocre white men we exist.
I don't know quite what that means, but she's gonna go feral over mediocre white men.
She says, why do white people think everything's about them?
And also, I guess this is a baffling one.
I don't quite understand this.
Maybe this is some high form of ebonics.
One of her tweets was, Why did I see Vinnie Hacker tryna fly outside my window?
Y'all niggas let spicy whites get to these crackers' heads.
That's beautifully read by the way.
Well, I guess she's taking a creative writing course at Stanford.
In any case, yeah, she thinks white people should be eradicated.
But Gabby Crooks, she has received an endorsement from the Stanford Student Daily Editorial Board.
They think she's hot stuff.
And even in the light of these comments, they have not revoked their endorsement.
So they still think she's hot stuff.
Wanting to eradicate white people is no obstacle to serving on the Stanford student government.
And moving on to Virginia Commonwealth University, right here in our very own state, at least my very own state of Virginia, 20-year-old Taylor Marie Maloney from Charleston, South Carolina is the student body president.
Okay.
She's the serving student body president.
Now, she has adopted various personae on Twitter.
One, she goes by the name of Fuck Off Honkies, Pretty straightforward.
Yep, that's a tweeting personality that seems to be fine with Twitter.
And one of the things she likes to say is, your reminder to advocate for the killing of cops.
Then another tweet she tweeted is, I hate white people so much it's not even funny.
No, I don't think it's funny.
And on the day of the Derek Chauvin verdict, she wrote on Twitter that she hoped that he would be acquitted.
You know why?
So that rioters can burn this bitch to the ground.
Go back and tell me, what is her role at ECU?
She is the student body president.
Okay, just want to make sure that's the case.
Yeah, she is the top of the heap.
And when a follower of the Black Nationalist Nation of Islam rammed his car into Capitol Police, you remember that?
That was just a few weeks ago, killing one of the officers.
Maloney celebrated.
Love this!
We need more!
She tweeted.
And also she wants to burn city buses in Richmond.
Now, why city buses?
But she says, when Richmond gonna fry up another Greater Richmond Transit Company bus?
When are we gonna see some action?
I thought y'all was anarchists.
VCU, huh?
It's interesting.
You just mentioned something that did happen a couple weeks ago.
It was the Nation of Islam member Noah Green rammed and killed officer William Billy Evans.
He was an 18-year veteran of the force and a member of the First Responders Unit.
Now, of course, you juxtapose that with the story that finally was debunked.
The whole Skolnick was beaten with a fire extinguisher.
He died of two seizures.
Yes.
Nothing to do with the insurrection at all.
Don't call it an insurrection, please.
Nothing to do with the Stop the Steal rally.
Or, I would call it a riot.
You'd call it a riot?
Yes.
Of course it's a riot.
You know when you fight the police?
They tried to hold him off for, I think, about two hours.
It took them two hours to get in.
It wasn't just a waltzing through an open door.
No, it wasn't.
Be that as it may.
This was another black nationalist.
He was a Nation of Islam member.
And what was his excuse?
That's one of the things.
This story, there's been virtually no corporate media follow-through to see, well, what actually happened?
Who is this officer?
Does it matter?
It doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
Black guy, Nation of Islam.
I guess he was just being the fruitful fruit of Islam and doing his job.
But back to Taylor Marie Maloney, president of VCU Student Body.
She oversees more than 30,000 students.
Did you know there were that many at VCU?
30,000.
And she distributes funds among the 500 student organizations.
Now, earlier this month, the ACLU of Virginia praised her as, and I quote, The first openly transgender and non-binary person elected to such a high position.
And she is, according to the ACLU, a fierce advocate who's making strides for diversity in leadership.
And describing Taylor Marie, the ACLU says, they are committed to justice for all and creating lasting change and we are grateful for their hard work and dedication.
What was her Twitter handle again?
Her Twitter handle was Fuck Off Honkeys.
Okay.
Just wanted to bring that back out there.
Well, come on.
I mean, that's just more evidence that she's a fierce advocate.
A fierce.
Pretty doggone fierce if you ask me.
Well, yes, they.
They, to me, is plural.
But I think, if you are transgender, that doesn't mean you have more than one gender.
This is all too deep for me.
It's all too new for me, and it's all stuff that I just, let's just move on.
Well, but becoming student body president at VCU, Maloney ran as a police abolition candidate for the Richmond City Council.
Now, this is pretty interesting.
She is currently crowdsourcing on GoFundMe.
Now, GoFundMe isn't going to be at all bothered by somebody who advocates for the killing of cops and whose handle is fuckoffhonkey to raise funds for housing arrangements where her sexual identity can be celebrated.
Now, I don't quite know what sort of place she has in mind, And Taylor Marie says that she will engage in sex work if no job prospects arise by June.
So, time out real quick.
Is this a guy that's a girl or a girl that's a guy?
It looks mostly like a very butchy sort of girl.
I think it's a girl.
So, then her identity is that she's a black male?
I think she's probably born a black female, is my guess.
Oh, so biologically she's a black female, but she identifies as...?
As everything.
Okay.
Now, she says she's going to engage in sex work if no job prospects arise.
Now, judging from her photos, I don't think she's going to get any takers, male, female, indeterminate, beast, human.
She is just not somebody that I think anybody's going to pay money for, but there you go.
So we will just keep an eye on the further adventures of Taylor Marie Maloney.
It's not, I don't, I don't want to laugh at this, but you recall every year, there's a story about the targeting of the transgender community in sex work.
And invariably they're all black.
They're all black men who identify as females.
They might have had the surgery.
And this is something that you never hear about.
The heroic Andy Ngo actually tweeted out a story.
He did a story for, I think, Post Millennial, whatever he writes for.
And he noted that this hysteria that there are hate crimes against these black transgender people.
But the point is, They always leave out who the suspects are.
They're always black.
It's just like with this anti-Asian wave of hate that we're supposed to have seen.
Well, our lying eyes show us the video.
We can look at what's going on in New York.
We have all the video evidence.
It's black males who are attacking these Asians.
Well, you know, in some cases, as I understand it now, I don't probe too deeply into these matters, but some people, some of these so-called trans types, have not had the surgery.
And if you're a man looking for a little fun and you think you're dealing with a woman and suddenly discover that you're not, I can imagine a certain frustration.
Be that as it may, these are strange times in which we live.
But now I believe you had a story about the strange times in Louisville lately on Derby Day, no less.
You know, you sometimes wonder how just where that powder keg is going to be.
You think back to last year and I can't remember the name of the couple that pointed the AR-15 and the pistol haphazardly.
You know, they're kind of waving the gun in front of that beautiful home in St.
Louis.
Yes.
That was, I believe, the weekend of June 27th.
They, of course, appeared at the RNC.
They spoke about what's happened to them, being targeted by leftist prosecutors.
Well, something similar happened in Louisville.
Now this is a story that you would think would have gotten a lot more press, but before we started, you hadn't even heard about it.
I had not.
So this was in, I saw this in the Louisville Courier.
A diner in Louisville drew a handgun as armed Black Lives Matter protesters swarmed the restaurant during an outdoor dining interrupted by Breonna Taylor demonstrators during the Kentucky Derby.
The Kentucky Derby draws the creme de la creme from C to signing C To fly into that beautiful little airport there in Louisville.
By the way, Louisville is a great city.
You know, you lived there for a number of years.
It's got a great, nice airport, very clean.
It's about 72% white still.
It's still majority white.
Yeah, and very civilized.
Well, as you can imagine, patrons are out enjoying a beautiful afternoon.
No one's wearing masks.
Kentucky is one of these states where people are allowed to go maskless now, and all of a sudden you have these You have these armed Black Lives Matter protesters swarming this outdoor dining patio.
You know, you're talking about a guy out looking for some fun and turns out the dudette's a dude.
You know, what would you be doing if you're out enjoying a night and then all of a sudden you hear this commotion and they come with guns.
It's a terrifying proposition.
So, Louisville Metro Police responded to an upscale European restaurant located in downtown Louisville as protesters were marching northbound on the street.
A restaurant employee told dispatchers, quote, multiple armed protesters entered the restaurant property, which included outdoor space.
A reporter for the Louisville Courier Journal tweeted several photos and videos of the incident.
A man was seen pointing his pistol at several demonstrators during an altercation.
It's a white man.
So this is a guy, a patron of the restaurant.
Yeah, who stands up and he's got a small little, it looks like, if you know much about guns, it looks like a little, very tiny, highly concealable revolver.
Maybe a Derringer.
Holds about five rounds.
22LR, 22 Magnum.
And as this reporter says, several protesters also appear to be carrying firearms.
Video shared by the newspaper showed a female demonstrator directing others to move away down the block as tensions dissipated.
During the encounter, both patrons and protesters Brandish firearms, this reporter for the, I'm sorry, a police spokeswoman stated in an email to Fox News.
There are numerous arrests of the southbound protesters.
The arrests of that group were made after protesters repeatedly blocked the roadway despite officers giving multiple verbal requests for them to utilize the sidewalk.
Would you like to know some of the signs that these individuals were carrying?
They included, we haven't forgotten, Brianna, no justice, no peace, no justice, no Derby.
No justice, no Derby.
Black Lives Matter Louisville, black market Kentucky, color change and ultraviolet commissioned a plane banner, a plane banner that flew over Churchill Downs with the message, quote, protect black women, divest from police, end quote.
The Louisville Journal The Louisville Courier-Journal reported.
Wait, that flew over Churchill Downs during the year?
It did.
It was not shown, obviously, on the television broadcast, nor has much of this story really gotten a lot of publicity.
Well, you know, this does sound very dangerous.
Both sides armed, drawing their weapons.
If this kind of thing happens more often, there's going to be real shooting.
Well, it did happen.
Kyle Rittenhouse.
Well, yes, but there's going to be, I mean, this could break out anywhere, anytime.
It's one of these things as we start to get into, as more and more states are opening up, as we're seeing people wanting to go outside.
They've been cooped up for a year.
A year, what?
Take that back.
They've been cooped up for 16 months with the lockdowns.
Well, of course, when the lockdown really lifts, people can eat inside again if they want.
Everybody's eating outside now because not allowed to eat inside.
But still, if you have this kind of confrontation, it's far from finished.
And people are going to start shooting.
It will be very interesting.
It'll be very interesting for the courts to decide who's guilty and who's not.
Now, my guess is, if these guys showed up with guns drawn, demonstrators, I'm surprised the fellow just didn't open fire.
Took a lot of restraint.
I have not seen the video.
I've seen the pictures.
It'd be very interesting to see what the circumstances were.
Maybe, well... Yeah, these are... Well, hell's a-poppin', as they used to say.
But anyway, from moving from Louisville to Atlanta to Coca-Cola.
I believe we spoke about this on a podcast, but in January, General Counsel Bradley Gayton made headlines when he unveiled plans to penalize outside law firms that don't meet diversity quotas.
And any firm seeking to do business with the company was required to commit that at least 30% of its billable hours would be billed from diverse attorneys.
Okay.
Non-white.
You and I don't count.
Okay.
Now, I seem to recall that if you were homosexual, that was counted as diverse.
And under those circumstances, I keep saying, you know, how do you find out?
Can't I just say, ah, yeah, yeah, I'm pink.
But in any case, at least half of the 30% bill to diverse attorneys was to come from black lawyers.
Now, it's a pure coincidence, of course, but General Counsel Bradley Grayton, who issued that edict, is rather diverse himself.
He's melanin super enhanced.
Now, last month he abruptly resigned, less than a year on the job, as criticism of this quota scheme mounted.
Many lawyers pointed out that's against the law.
The Supreme Court's been very clear about this.
You can sort of nudge things here and there, but you cannot openly call for racial quotas.
You got to do it more discreetly than that.
And I'm a little bit surprised that this guy was supposed to be a lawyer, didn't know any better.
Well, he has been replaced.
Monica Howard-Duntless is now reviewing the plan.
Okay.
She's reviewing the plan.
And guess what?
She's melanin-enhanced, too.
They seem to just be going for these melanin-enhanced general counsels.
But the Quarterman Bradley Gayton will not starve.
He has signed a new contract to serve as a consultant to Coca-Cola CEO James Quincy.
Who is, heaven help us, a white man, and he'll be making $12 million over the next year as a consultant.
Yes, a nifty little $12 million as a consultant.
I wonder what he's making as general counsel, probably less than that.
Now, you may recall in February, there was a bit of fluff when Coca-Cola had diversity training in which employees were urged to be less white.
That's right.
Less white.
And tips for how to be less white?
Be less oppressive.
That's right.
Listen!
And then believe.
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to believe in, but you believe.
That'll make you less white.
I guess white people just don't believe anything.
And one of the tips on being less white is to break with white solidarity.
Well, it seems to me that CEO James Quincy had better quick break with white solidarity and resign so BIPOC can replace him.
So that's the latest from Coca-Cola.
And moving on to yet a different university, George Mason University.
The faculty is one-third white, but that's not enough!
Under GMU's task force recommendations, GMU will recruit, hire, and retain faculty and staff to reflect its student population.
Now, student population is only about, it's less than half white.
So, and it's of course got Asians and Hispanics.
It will fund, quote, diversity cluster hire initiatives, mandate search plans, and the diversity of applicant pools to eliminate gaps between the demographic diversity of its faculty and its student body.
And President Gregory Washington.
Now, yet another strange and improbable coincidence.
Gregory Washington is one of our dusky brethren.
Oh, melanin super-enhanced.
Melanin super-enhanced.
He says, if you have two candidates who are both above the bar in terms of requirements for a position, but one adds to your diversity and the other does not, then why couldn't that candidate be better?
Even if that candidate may not have better credentials than the other candidate.
So there you go.
This stuff marches on.
Now, when are the parents who are paying tuition at George Mason University going to get their act together, like the people at Southlake, Texas, and say, to heck with this, and vote in?
Of course, it's much harder.
They can't vote in a school board.
Trustees are a little bit out of reach.
They're appointed, yeah.
Yes.
But anyway, now tell us, speak to us, Mr. Kersey, of Minneapolis.
Well, another one of The New Century Foundation's favorite corporations.
We go from Coca-Cola, an entity that I hope every listener around the world, not just the United States, is trying to avoid as much as possible.
Don't drink that stuff.
It's sugar water.
It's awful.
Target.
Target is that company that we know a lot about because it's based in Minneapolis.
So about one year ago, the Target on Lake Street was burned by Black Lives Matter rioters.
What do you think that Target has now?
That it's been rebuilt?
All of the ashes have been cleared?
Like a phoenix rising?
I think they hired a Somali-owned design firm to design it in ways to make Africans happy.
They actually did do that!
That's actually not in the story, but it displays a mural apparently celebrating The Black Lives Matter insurrection and the fire that they started.
Yes, the mural depicts the burning of the Target in 2020.
The Minneapolis Target store that was looted and burned now displays a mural celebrating the arson, the conflagration.
Unbelievable.
So remember, there were 1,500 Minneapolis buildings damaged in May of 2020 by these Black Lives Matter rioters.
150 of them, 10%, were burned.
Burned!
And including that, infamously, the Minneapolis Police Department's 3rd Precinct.
In a moment where, again, the state ceded all moral authority and the monopoly on violence to the Black Lives Matter protesters.
Now, among the first buildings and businesses to be attacked was this Target store on Lake Street.
Which is near the Third Precinct.
It was gutted of its contents and filled with smoke.
In fact, I think you can still go on YouTube and you can look at pictures of these Black Lives Matter rioters, these arson, these individuals going in there just grabbing whatever they can and running off.
And afterwards somebody's wandered through.
The place is a complete mess.
It looks like a metal enhanced tornado has been through there.
Well, it was a Melanin Enhanced Super Tornado, but I'm sure just like after the floods in Katrina down in New Orleans, if you went there and you went to the electronics area and you went to see what CDs were left, just like in New Orleans, all the country CDs were left.
I'm sure country CDs, if they still sell CDs, I don't even know, but I'm sure there were country CDs because the Melanin Super Enhanced Tornadoes said, we don't need these.
Shania Twain, Clint Black, nah.
Well, you know, the new version, and they built it from the ground up, it has one architectural feature which the old one does not.
It has emergency doors that can be brought down.
Now, I'm sure that's to guard against rising ocean levels in case of global warming.
Perhaps, yeah, perhaps, perhaps.
No, they've got a new little feature there.
So, reporter Michael Tracy highlighted how the rebuilt Minneapolis Target features multiple murals and one appears to celebrate the burning buildings.
One panel of the mural which reads, quote, we stand together, end quote, shows four protests, shows four protesters standing triumphantly, triumphantly before a blaze.
And he writes, and Aren't they just about ready to roast marshmallows?
Isn't that what's being depicted?
I don't see, there's no stick in their hand, there's no bag of mellows, but the figures in this piece symbolize protesters, who could be any of us, said an artist who worked on the display, per a report from the Minneapolis Community and Technical College.
Now the same day Target announced its Minneapolis location would reopen, Bloomberg published an article Explaining how the renovations to the store were intended to appeal to black customers.
The retail giant also pledged to reduce its brand association with a primary customer demographic.
Who do you think that is?
Probably white people.
No, it went one step further.
Suburban white women.
At the reopening, Target claimed that this mural Was only temporary, although it can still be seen at the building today.
Again, we know that Target is on that list of places.
Dear listener, you should not shop at.
And of course, one of the first things he did after the store was burned down was to pledge $100 million to Black Lives Matter movement.
I'd have to go back and look and think about all the money that these corporations just... At least $2 billion.
$2 billion.
Now, this is an extraordinary thing.
Back in the early days of race rioting, they never would have done this.
You burn down a store, and you get rewarded.
Well, you get more of what you reward.
That's right.
And I'm surprised the rioting has stopped.
Now that the weather's getting better again, ooh, watch out, folks.
Well, again, the marches are going on, and as we talked about, guys, Girls, this Louisville situation, if you guys are out in a major city where there are Black Lives Matter protesters, you have to have your head on a swivel.
Seriously.
Well, moving back to universities, I read an article by Chevella T. Pittman, a professor of sociology at Dominican University, and she wrote an article called, Colleges Must Change to Retain BIPOC Women Faculty.
So, not only BIPOC, but BIPOC women.
Now, in a previous piece, she says, I described overlooked ways that higher education institutions sabotage their retention of BIPOC women by assigning heavy teaching loads.
Do they do that?
I mean, where's the data?
I bet that's not true at all.
Allowing students and colleagues to resist the often transformative teaching of these academics.
In other words, some people think it's baloney what they're being told.
And establishing tenure practices that amplify gender and race oppression.
I wonder how tenure practices amplify gender and race oppression.
I missed that article.
I guess I ought to go back and read that.
Because these are new concepts to me.
Now she says institutions should adjust teaching loads and provide course releases so that BIPOC women faculty don't have heavier assignments.
So there you go.
They're working too hard.
They're just overloading them with courses.
And then BIPOC women often have no institutional recourse when they face raced and gendered challenges from students.
If a student actually questions something about them, I guess that's a raced and gendered challenge.
Students who harass BIPOC faculty in the classroom must face consequences.
I wonder how often that happens.
I've never ever heard of that.
Never?
I mean, gosh, some white guy says, ah, come on, this is baloney.
But they got to face consequences.
Then the teaching of, you see, here's the problem.
She's really put her finger on the nub of the matter.
The teaching of BIPOC women frequently involves transformative pedagogies that produce beneficial outcomes for society at large.
But such transformative teachings are often rooted in a pedagogy of discomfort, where issues of racism,
racialization, white supremacy, structural oppression, imperialism, and the like are taught.
Unfortunately, that's the very feature that causes colleagues who are often not trained
on effective pedagogy to punish BIPOC faculty.
In other words, when they're teaching critical race theory, when they start teaching white people that, you know,
they're just inherently evil and oppressive, they get an occasional raised eyebrow.
But to thwart those uninformed attitudes, the institution should promote faculty development.
Where was this published again?
I'm sorry.
Yes, I should have explained.
This was in Higher Education.
The Journal of Higher Education.
Oh, they love this stuff.
Now, also there's another huge problem.
How to interpret student ratings.
Student ratings are reportedly full of race and gender bias.
BIPOC faculty are disproportionately disadvantaged in reviews.
Oh boy, oh boy.
Now, I guess what that means is the BIPOC faculty get lower ratings.
Now, that's obviously yet more racism.
Yes.
That's the thing.
You just can't win with these people.
You're crowdsourcing racism there.
What would it be?
You're hiring incompetence.
They do a bad job.
And not coddling them, not giving them extra time off, that's racism.
And if it turns out they're lousy teachers and the students don't like them, that's racism.
The students are racism.
You just can't win.
Then she goes on to say, BIPOC women faculty often need teaching support that might not be available on campus.
Institutions should provide course release time and money for BIPOC women faculty to access off-campus conferences, workshops, training, coaches, consultants, mentors, and teaching communities.
Boy, oh boy.
Well, now we know.
Why should BIPOC faculty even have to teach?
It should be a ceremonial title where they get their monthly payments, they have no one to worry about being a pedagogue to, and have their incompetence put to the test when it comes to objective reviews on these sites.
The BIPOC faculty were demanding precisely that.
Extra pay for the hard work of providing diversity.
Extra pay for the fact that there they were, BIPOC bodies, on campus, all of this work they were doing, improving things by supplying precious, precious minutes of diversity.
They wanted extra pay just because they were BIPOC and on campus.
Makes sense.
Diversity interests.
I like it.
Yes, yes.
Now, for a complete change of pace, this is something that rather surprised, but nearly two out of three Americans, at least according to one poll, say they are optimistic about the direction the country is moving in after Joe Biden's first 100 days.
Two thirds of Americans are happy.
Although there's a strict divide along Democrat and Republican lines.
The favorable and unfavorable rating is apparently evenly split for whites.
Half of whites are happy with the way the country is going.
Amazing.
For blacks, it's 85% positive and 15% negative.
Blacks are cock-a-hoop.
Hispanics, 70% favorable and 30% unfavorable.
Now, furthermore, 52% of American voters apparently believe that at this moment it's more important to have the federal government spend money to help the economy, even if it increases taxes and the deficit.
Now, on the other hand, nearly four in five Republicans, 78%, want to keep taxes as they are.
Not raise taxes, but 80% of Democrats say raise them.
Yeah, why not?
Why not?
It's not our money, and some of it's coming into our pockets.
Well, I was a little bit surprised to see these results, but that bodes ill for the midterm elections, but we'll see.
We shall see.
I also would like to pose a question to you, because that's the first time I've ever heard that term, and we get these a lot, some of these wonderful turns of phrases from you, Mr. Taylor.
Cock-a-hoop.
Would you describe the etymology of that?
Well, it's a British expression.
Okay.
And I believe it has to do with a happy rooster.
Now, whether he's jumping over a hoop, I'm not quite sure.
But cock-a-hoop, yes, that's a good English expression.
There we are.
Cock-a-hoop.
Is that a new one for you?
That's a brand new one for me.
Well, there you go.
Not the first, I dare say.
No, I like it.
I like it.
Okay.
Cock-a-hoop.
Cock-a-hoop.
Well, let's see.
Now, the minority should be cock-a-hoop over the coronavirus relief plan that their president has cooked up for them.
You know, again, this is just like the one we talked about where I believe that the farmers, the black farmers and non-white farmers, were going to get loans where they would have to repay them.
And those same loans weren't available, Mr. Taylor, to white farmers.
Oh, right.
Now we get this.
Restaurants and venues owned by white men will be last in line for federal relief under President Joe Biden's Restaurants Revitalization Fund, the RRF, which is prioritizing funds for Women and minority groups first.
It's part of Biden's America Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Small Business Administration.
is opening the application process by which owners of restaurant bars and other venues can apply for federal relief to help make up for the loss of revenue as a result of the economic lockdowns spurred by the coronavirus pandemic and the measures to try and stymie the growth of the coronavirus.
You know, in a lot of major cities, these venues that normally would cater to bands and to bars and to Young people looking to, you know, hook up and have some fun.
They've been shut down.
So, but we're at the back of the bus.
We white men.
Oh, white men.
The plan allows business owners to apply for relief of up to.
Now, this is actually, this kind of blew my mind.
How much money do you think you can apply up to if you're, if you're an owner of a small venue, a bar or a restaurant?
Huh?
Oh, I don't know.
$50,000?
$100,000?
How much?
The plan allows business owners to apply for relief of up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location.
Business owners do not have to repay the funds so as long as the money is spent by March 2023.
Think about that for a second.
Wow!
No more than five million per location.
Per location.
So if you own maybe some franchises or perhaps you've got your LLC and you've got locations, maybe a couple in a city that are owned.
You've got a couple bars that you have named differently.
But they fall under the same umbrella of corporate, in the term of a legal entity.
So, I mean, the relief, though, is being prioritized based on race, gender, and whether or not business owners are considered, quote, socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, end quote.
White men, for example, who are not veterans of the United States Armed Forces are not eligible for priority period processing and funding.
Under the guidelines of the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, the SBA is giving priority processing funding to, quote, small businesses owned by women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
To be eligible, the business must be at least 51% owned by one or more individuals who are women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged.
And if management and daily business operations of the applicant are controlled by one or more women, vets, or socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
Okay, well, that does not make me cock a hoop, but I've just hunted up the etymology, and I was wrong.
It has nothing to do with happy roosters.
It comes from the 17th century from the phrase, set cock a hoop of unknown origin, apparently denoting the action of turning on the tap and allowing liquor to flow.
Cock a hoop!
I got it!
That's far better than a rooster jumping over a hoop.
Well, used expression in good health, my friend.
Yes, well, I would like to just let you know, this is who the SBA defines as socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native American, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian, Asian Pacific American, subcontinent Asian American.
Wow.
So Indians and Koreans and Chinese and Japanese, they're socially disadvantaged.
They're going to get the money before you and I do.
And guess what?
It's a grant, basically.
As long as they spend it all by 2023.
Spend it quick, boys.
Well, there you go.
Makes me just happy as a clam.
Is that an expression you know?
Oh, I know that one.
Okay, very good.
I know happy as a clam, but you know, again, there'll be plenty of cocking and hooping going on in a lot of these bars and restaurants once they can... I suspect so.
Boy, we're running out of time, so we need to get to work here.
Did you know that the American Psychiatric Association has apologized?
It's a 176-year-old group, but it issued its first ever acknowledgement of its racist past.
It acknowledged appalling past practices.
Appalling.
And its governing board is committed to identifying, understanding, and rectifying our past injustices.
And this weekend, the APA is going to devote its annual meeting to And over the course of three days, the virtual gatherings of as many as 10,000 participants, they will present the results of a year-long effort to educate its 37,000 mostly white members about the psychologically toxic effects of racism.
I guess this is a phenomenon that its members have never heard of, but they're going to learn all about the psychologically toxic effects of racism.
Now, what are the sins of the APA?
Well, T.O.
Powell, who is the superintendent of what this press report calls the infamous State Lunatic Asylum in Milledgeville, Georgia.
I like those sort of straightforward names.
State Lunatic Asylum.
They'll talk about an asylum for the criminally insane.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, I like that.
Good straightforward talk.
Now we have all these sort of silly Euphemisms.
In any case, this guy, T.O.
Powell, he was president of the American Medico-Psychological Association, a precursor of the APA.
He went so far as to outrageously state in 1897, now imagine what was so outrageous, he said that before the Civil War there were, comparatively speaking, few Negro lunatics.
Following their sudden emancipation, their number of insane began to multiply.
Now, this is ipso facto outrageous, but let's see the data.
I don't find it impossible to believe, but apparently he said this, and so this is something that all the whitey get, they all get to get down on their knees and kiss the toes of all the non-whites who were there.
Now, another sin.
A Dr. Benjamin Rush, an 18th century doctor, and we're going way back into the past to find these sins that we have to apologize for.
He's often called the father of American psychiatry.
He held the racist belief that black skin was the result of a mild form of leprosy.
Now, I'm not quite sure why that's a racist belief.
It was a medical misconception.
Yeah, exactly.
But he called the condition negritude.
Ooh, that's awfully racist.
Now, the American Psychiatric Association used to feature Rush's image on its logo, but in 2015, thank goodness, they got rid of Benjamin Rush.
Well, I looked into this guy.
He taught at Penn Medical School from 1769 until his death in 1813.
As I say, they got to go back 200 years to find all of these sins they have to apologize for, but he was the president of the local abolition society.
He also wrote, now listen to this, and I quote from his papers, He was an early egalitarian!
of the whites over the blacks are founded alike in ignorance and inhumanity.
Yes!
He was an early egalitarian.
Yes!
Yes!
But no, he's bad, bad, bad.
Now, if you go to Penn Medical School, they got a page on him because he was very important in running the place in its early days.
He's, the Penn Medical School says, rushes teachings about differences in disease, susceptibility of different races, and therefore spreading the not uncommon concept of race as being rooted in biological difference, show that he was a precursor of race science.
They're appalled that he spread the not uncommon concept of race being rooted in biology.
Now, so that's why he's got to go.
Good grief.
Well, of course, this three-day grovel fest this coming weekend is considered long overdue and insufficient, and people point to the fact that the American Medical Association issued an apology back in 2008.
So these boys are way, way, way too late.
I think there should be a day set aside every year where an institution that was once overwhelmingly white and has a history that needs to be apologized for, there needs to be a national day of groveling.
Well, you know, this podcast is overwhelmingly white, and I think we begin to grovel right now.
Our times are running out, so you better grovel fast.
Up my knees.
You're on your knees, and so am I. So, thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
We will grovel some more a week from now.
