| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| Happy New Year! | |
| 2015 is one day old, and I hope you've made a good start. | |
| I'd like to talk about race relations over the past year. | |
| The big story, of course, was the sustained frenzy the country went into over the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York. | |
| Leftists are calling this frenzy the new civil rights movement. | |
| And on December 20th, that movement reached a climax when a black man named Ismail Brinsley took revenge for Brown's and Garner's deaths by killing two police officers in Brooklyn. | |
| Let's get something straight right away. | |
| This national campaign against police racism is a case of hysteria, mass delusion. | |
| In Ferguson, a huge black man, high on marijuana, who had just robbed a convenience store, attacked a policeman in his patrol car, tried to take his gun away, and ended up getting shot. | |
| In New York, it was another huge black man, Eric Garner. | |
| He was 43 years old, obese, diabetic, had heart disease, and asthma so bad he couldn't walk a city block without stopping to rest. | |
| The police had no way of knowing this, and a black sergeant ordered his arrest for what turned out to be the ninth time for the same crime. | |
| When he resisted arrest, an officer took him down with a neck hold so they could put the cuffs on him. | |
| He was not, and I'll repeat this, not choked to death. | |
| He died later of cardiac arrest in an ambulance. | |
| When he famously said that he couldn't breathe, And he said it 11 times, so he had to be breathing. | |
| He was probably complaining about his asthma. | |
| As the New York City Medical Examiner's report explained, the cause of death was neck compression and, quote, compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police. | |
| The examiner added that all his medical conditions contributed to his death. | |
| In both the Brown and Garner cases, mixed-race grand juries spent months examining the evidence and decided there was no cause to indict the officers. | |
| And there's no evidence race had anything to do with either death. | |
| If a white guy tries to take a cop's pistol, there's a good chance the cop will use it on him. | |
| If a white guy resists arrest, he gets rough treatment too. | |
| And yet half the country is now yelling non-stop about police racism. | |
| Blacks are now protesting just about anything. | |
| On December 23rd, a white officer answered a call about a possible theft at a gas station about five miles from Ferguson. | |
| A black man pulled out a 9mm pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the officer. | |
| But the policemen managed to get off three rounds and kill the man. | |
| Surveillance cameras caught it all. | |
| There's no doubt about what happened. | |
| But a week after the shooting, there were still protests going on. | |
| What do these people want? | |
| For the police to stand there while criminals blaze away at them? | |
| Blacks and whites just see things differently. | |
| In the Michael Brown case, 64% of whites think the grand jury reached the right decision. | |
| Only 10% of blacks think so. | |
| 64% versus 10%. | |
| That's a huge difference. | |
| And that huge difference has jolted the way Americans feel about race. | |
| According to Gallup, you'd have to go back 22 years to the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles that killed 53 people. | |
| To find a time when Americans were as worried about race relations as they are now. | |
| But don't worry. | |
| Just a few weeks ago, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder both told the press that race relations are better than ever. | |
| They've improved since Mr. Obama has been in office. | |
| And the President was bragging about his record after the two New York officers were shot. | |
| Incredible. Of course, the two of them have made things much worse. | |
| Eric Holder showed up in Ferguson and had sympathetic meetings with the black demonstrators. | |
| He started a full-scale federal review of the Ferguson Police Department almost right away, before anything like all the facts had come out. | |
| And he announced that Ferguson would have to go through, quote, wholesale change. | |
| Wholesale change, even before his own investigation was finished. | |
| It's hard to imagine more insulting behavior. | |
| The grand jury's examination of the evidence doesn't matter to him. | |
| He's saying,"You white guys got it wrong, and I know there's racism here, and I'm going to keep looking until I find it." President Obama Who's closest advisor on race these days is Al Sharpton, | |
| for heaven's sake. | |
| He was just as bad. | |
| After the Ferguson grand jury refused to indict, the president said this means we need to get to work on, quote, much needed criminal reform. | |
| He said the problem wasn't just Ferguson. | |
| It was, quote, an issue for all of America. | |
| He didn't blame Michael Brown for what happened. | |
| He blamed the police. | |
| And remember, Mr. Obama sent two White House representatives to attend Brown's funeral, the funeral of a criminal who attacked a police officer. | |
| And now, of course, Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York has jumped on the bandwagon and warned black people they need to be very careful when they deal with his police department. | |
| And so for months, People have been running all around the country, chanting silly slogans and having die-ins. | |
| Some of them have been calling for the outright murder of policemen. | |
| So, was it a surprise when a black decided to ambush and kill two New York City policemen? | |
| And is it a surprise that the police are hopping mad about this anti-police hysteria, some of it coming from the highest levels of government? | |
| Thousands of police from around the country attended the funeral of the first New York City officer who was laid to rest. | |
| They stood at attention outside the church and watched the service on a big-screen television. | |
| When the mayor came on and began to speak, starting with the front row and working back, the officers did an about-face and turned their backs on the mayor. | |
| That's what you see here. | |
| That's the mayor on the screen. | |
| And thousands of police officers are telling him in the clearest possible way what they think of him. | |
| So where will this lead? | |
| New York police are now sending at least two officers on each call and are refusing to make arrests for minor crimes. | |
| Arrests are down a staggering 66%. | |
| Will this go on long enough for criminals to get brazen? | |
| And run the hipsters out of the newly civilized parts of the city? | |
| Will the anti-police campaign drive good people out of policing? | |
| Will every violent encounter between a white cop and a black criminal keep going under the microscope? | |
| Who knows? | |
| But one thing no one talks about is this. | |
| The whole uproar, riots, fury, national crisis, Two dead policemen. | |
| The whole thing has just one cause: race. | |
| If everyone involved had been the same race, you would never have heard about these two cases. | |
| No one would care. | |
| So as we move into the new year, just keep telling yourself that diversity is our strength. |
