Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my usual and dependable and its indispensable co-host, And today is September 28th, Year of Our Lord 2021, and as usual, we begin with something that a listener called our attention.
Now, I'm not much of a sports fan.
I know that my co-host, Mr. Kersey, certainly is.
But our listener thought that we should learn that police have confirmed the victim of a deadly house party shooting is a University of Utah football player by the name of Aaron Lowe.
Now, I confess I had not followed these matters.
University of Utah football is not a matter of much concern to me.
But the shooting left the 21-year-old football player dead and another person, an unidentified female, in critical condition.
This happened just a few days ago.
Officers believe the shooting occurred after uninvited guests were asked to leave the home during a party.
This is the kind of thing that seems to happen in certain communities, certain circles into which I'm not invited.
Why aren't you invited?
Well, I guess I might get shot if I showed up.
I don't know.
In any case, Lo, this poor fellow who stopped bullets, 21-year-old football player, was the first recipient of the Ty Jordan Memorial Scholarship, an award created to honor former University of Utah football player Ty Jordan, who lost his life after a shooting in December of 2020.
Ironically, the two were good friends, played football together in high school.
I would say this scholarship is jinxed.
I would not want to be the recipient of that scholarship.
No.
Or, you know, maybe they could rename it after the new guy that stopped a bullet, Aaron Lower Scholarship, and try again.
Fire again, boys!
And at first you don't succeed?
Is that what you're saying?
I guess so, I guess so.
Now, I won't comment on the metal and content of this story, but I think all of our listeners can probably imagine.
But I would like you to start off.
Mr. Kersey, with a heavily militant content story, what are the Haitians been up to?
Yeah, so obviously we know that we had heard that the Department of Homeland Security was going to potentially repatriate or send back or figure out something to do with the Haitians that had all shown up at the United States-Mexico border.
You know, they showed up with passports from Chile.
They showed up, again, the question we posed, who paid for all this?
You know, you had said that some of these people had paid tens of thousands of dollars to make this trip, to make this trek.
Well, now we find out on Sunday.
We're taped a little early this week, so this story is still fresh.
It's still important to talk about.
But Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Sunday that more than 12,000 Haitian migrants have been released in the United States. At first, yes, he
was promising to get rid of them all.
He did. And he also said many more may follow. He told Fox News Sunday that there are about 12,400
Haitians in the process of having asylum claims heard by an immigration judge, while around 5,000
are being processed by the Department of Homeland Security.
About 3,000 are being detained.
So approximately, I think it's about 10,000 or so 12,000.
New Yorkers responded when asked how That's how many migrants have already been released.
He's not sure.
Give or take a few thousand.
He added that number could go beyond 5,000.
Other cases are processed.
Quote, it could be even higher.
The number of the return could be even higher.
What we do is we follow the laws.
Congress has passed it.
The secretary said the administration will quote, make determinations whether they will be returned to Haiti based on our public health and public interest authorities.
We also do know that he did come out and admit that, yeah, none of these people were being tested for COVID.
So at a time where you're seeing, in North Carolina, unvaccinated nurses and healthcare professionals are being fired en masse, you're seeing healthcare professionals fired in New York State, New York City, and the governor is saying, hey, you know what, we'll get the National Guard to fill these roles.
At the same time, that's all happening, we've got mass numbers of illegal immigrants that That the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security can't even tell you what number they are, but he can tell you they're not vaxxed.
It's probably not more than $15,000.
That's what he says.
Probably not more than that.
But I'm so happy to know he is prioritizing the public safety and the public health.
That's the way he put it, right?
That's what he said.
Oh, Alejandro, Alejandro.
Oh, you make me so proud to be an American.
Also making me proud to be American are the Dallas Independent School District schools, which are doing away with all suspensions in school and out of school.
No more suspensions.
And the reason?
You guessed it, our listeners.
Data from Dallas Independent School District showed that prior to the pandemic, back when people were still being suspended, instead of all being suspended en masse and staying at home, as was the case during COVID, During the 2019-2020 school year, of all the suspensions, 52% were African American, 44% were Hispanic, and only 2.4% were white.
Now this is no good.
What percent were Asian?
Well, you know, if you add all this up, they just don't even feature it.
They don't even feature it.
I'm just curious.
No, probably if one digs deep, maybe 0.1 or I don't know, maybe there were no Asian suspensions, but 52% were African American, 44% Hispanic, and 2.4% white.
Wow!
Instead of suspensions, either in school or out, The school will.
Schools will establish what are called reset centers.
I guess this is if these are computers, young computers walking around.
They'll get hit the reset button.
But all 52 of its middle and high schools will have reset centers.
And the reset center will give students a place to, and I'm quoting from the news reports, a place to focus, cool down, connect, and form Relationships.
You said the word, is it reset or reset?
Reset.
A reset center, that's what they're doing.
That's right, a reset.
Like a computer, you know, if your computer's misbehaving, you kick it in the head, turn it off, reboot.
Yes, a reboot center.
The reset center, yes, they will refocus, cool down, and connect.
Now, this is one of the spokesman's talking about it.
We try just meet them at the door, love on them.
Let them know that we see them.
They're welcome.
Love on them.
Well, Mr. Kersey, would you love on me?
Love on them.
They're welcome.
And if they're having a moment where they are dysregulated, dysregulated.
I don't think I've ever been dysregulated in my life.
We want to pull them aside and talk to them.
So I guess, you know, you walk up and you say, I'm feeling dysregulated.
Please love on me.
And boy, the Reset Center is free.
And when do they hand out milk and cookies too?
How do we reset America?
I think that's the question.
It's time for a reboot.
A lot of viruses.
The country is certainly dysregulated.
Now, in addition to trained Reset Coordinators, I guess it's a new specialty.
Go down to your community college and you can get a degree in Reset Coordination.
There are mental health clinicians, social emotional staff to help facilitate the resetting.
Wow!
Now, what I want to know is, can a violent or utterly refractory student be sent to a Reset Center?
It makes it sound as though they just amble in when they're feeling dysregulated and want to be loved on.
We continue to enable this insanity because we have decided that the standards once governing polite society are too white.
Why?
Well, and that's just it.
Suspending people either in school or out of school, it's got a racial diverse, it's got, what is it?
Disproportionate impact.
No, it's not disparate impact.
It's a disparate impact on the dysregulated, and so we've got to ditch it along with all of our standards.
I wonder how long any of our standards will last, but Moving on to the entirely dysregulated country at large, the New York Times, in its wisdom and its bliss, decided to write a story on the increase in the murder rates.
And I must say, this is one of the most boneheaded, blinkered, deliberately blind stories on the murder rate that I've read in a long time.
But they do go on to say, 2020 experienced the biggest rise in murder since the start of national record-keeping in 1960.
So, it's probably the biggest rise ever.
Exactly.
But so long as we know, ever since 1960, it's the biggest since then.
And it was a rise of around 29%, almost 30%.
The previous largest one-year increase in murder rate was 12.7% in 1968.
So, we more than doubled that rate.
This was a record-breaking year, 2020 was.
The national rate murders per 100,000.
However, the New York Times hastens to reassure us still remains only two-thirds that of the rate in the early 1990s.
So we're not killing each other quite at the clip we used to, but we're trying to climb back to our record levels.
The increase in numbers this year does not appear to be as large as the record spike last summer.
In other words, now that we've moved into 2021, we're still growing.
Okay, so it's not stabilized at all.
No, it's still growing.
It's still growing.
Last year was this delightful leap.
It's like the high jump at the Olympics.
We lapped by 30%, and previously, as I say, the largest increase was, in terms of numbers, in 1990, there was an increase of 1,938 murders, about 2,000.
Well, the FBI data show that in 2020, there were, guess how many?
5,000 more murders.
The FBI data show that in 2020, there were, guess how many?
5,000.
5,000 more murders.
5,000.
5,000 extra cadavers that we might not have had.
All because one black live mattered so much that police decided to stand down nationwide and gangbangers knew that they weren't going to have their cars checked or they weren't going to have as much scrutiny as before and lo and behold it's not white bodies piling up in morgues.
You know, in one sentence you have explained much more than an entire New York Times front page article.
Congratulations!
Yes!
But the New York Times is very meticulous about some of the data.
Murder rose over 35% in cities with populations over 250,000, rose over 40% in cities 100,000 to 250,000, and 25% in
cities under.
They say no region was spared.
Large cities, big cities, practically no cities at all, murder up everywhere.
Now, in the first few months of 2020, there has been an increase, over this record increase before, of what appears to be about 10%.
10%?
10%, yes.
So, if we keep clipping along, you know, after having gone up for 30%, we'll be 10%.
But remember, The previous largest one-year increase was 12.7%.
So this might be the second largest, if we really have at it.
Now, here is the New York Times wisely scratching its head, pulling its chin, and contemplating the reality of all this.
It says a survey of 200 police departments found large increases in retirements.
From 2020 to 2021.
What month did those retirements start piling in, I wonder?
Well, they counted them from April 2020 to April 2021, but my guess is that it was in the summer.
But that's where they count.
Those are fiscal years, you see.
Okay.
They got to count by fiscal year.
They don't count by event, you see.
New York City The number of police, active duty police, dropped by 2,500 officers in 2019 to 2020.
Yes!
Now, here goes the New York Times.
Just brilliant, shining, genius insight.
The question of why some agencies lost officers.
Was it because of poor morale and increased difficulties in doing the job?
That's as far as they can get.
Or did retirement's surge because increased overtime in 2020 made it a more attractive prospect?
What on earth does that mean?
Wait, wait, wait.
Retirement surge because of overtime?
Because there was so much overtime in 2020 that it made retirement attractive.
I don't even know what they're talking about.
Does it ask why there was more retirement?
You mean more overtime?
Yeah, right.
No, no, no.
This is just out there.
Was it because of poor morale?
Increased difficulties in doing the job?
I wonder.
Then they go on to say, Or maybe some agencies lost officers because the pandemic made hiring replacements challenging.
I'm sure that was it.
I'm sure that was it.
So, there you go.
Not one word about race.
Not one word about Black Lives Matter riots.
Not one word!
Not one word about George Floyd.
Not one word about the Ferguson effect.
And this, this is the newspaper of record.
Was this piece by Jeff Asher, the criminologist?
He has that amazing chart where it's the graph where it shows each year and the percentage change each year.
And for 2014 and 2015, the first few years of Ferguson, Black Lives Matter really taking effect.
The murders shot up significantly, but the one that just sticks out, everything's nothing.
It's all fluid.
There's no anomaly, but the anomaly you see that is in, 2020.
2021.
It's astonishing.
And all of a sudden, all of a sudden, in June, strange things begin to happen.
And the New York Times has absolutely no idea.
The words George Floyd do not appear anywhere.
BLM does not appear.
Riot does not appear anywhere.
Arson.
Looting.
Nope.
Didn't happen.
Didn't happen.
There you go.
There's the New York Times... Well, it didn't happen because left-wing prosecutors across the nation let them all go, so... So I guess it didn't happen.
Exactly.
If charges are dropped, then the crime didn't happen.
Certainly doesn't go into the record books.
Correct.
Yes.
In any case, Durham, they will solve the problem.
They've got all kinds of tricky plans.
Tell us about them, Mr. Kersey.
You know, I've got a new, I've got a new thing that I do before we do these podcasts.
I do two things.
I go to news.google.com and I type in Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard shooting.
And then I type in, uh, black gun violence.
Cause I just want to see what's going on out there.
And invariably every week there's a new story like the one I'm about to read.
Headline was this 1000 black men group takes a stand against Durham gun Is it for them?
So do I. I'm against Durham gun violence too.
As we all should be.
Yes, we are.
So what happens?
We have a situation where a community group known as 1,000 Black Men or 1KBM, that's kind of catchy, 1KBM gathered outside the Haiti Heritage Center Friday.
Haiti?
H-A-Y-T-I.
H-A-Y-T-I?
Oh, that's the old spelling.
No, no, no, that's an antique spelling for Haiti.
That's what I thought, yeah.
For heaven's sake, the Haiti Heritage Center, okay.
To take a stand against gun violence.
This comes if the city has seen a spike in crime.
It's one of those cities that the New York Times basically says, we have no idea what's going on.
It's conundrum.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Well, we actually now know who's doing the violence thanks to this story.
Leonardo Williams, one of the group's co-founders, says their goal is to curb gun violence and change the trajectory for young black men.
Hmm.
I guess young white men can shoot each other all they like, but the black men better stop.
Exactly.
Their efforts include advocacy, support, economic development, and intervention.
Quote, imagine if we had a thousand black men on the ground.
Imagine if every young man of color had someone to hold their hand and say, I got you.
I have your back.
You don't have to resort to the streets.
I can help you get into college.
I can help you find a job.
Imagine that they all had a father.
Well, yes.
Imagine they all went to the Reset Center and reset instead of doing the violence.
They called on elected officials to create an immediate plan of action in order to end gun violence in the city.
They also asked leaders to help fund To help fund community resources that are already established in the city.
Quote, we're asking the city and the county to provide an immediate plan of action, stop business per usual.
What is the immediate plan of action for addressing the uptick in gun violence in the city?
We're also about being self-accountable.
That's why we're here.
Then he goes on to talk about all the student cities lost, whether the victim of the system or victim of the street or victim of each other.
I don't quite understand.
They're self-accountable, but they're asking for funding.
They are.
Well, not only the funding's already there, they admit, but they want more funding.
Oh, okay.
But they're still self-accountable.
All right.
They are.
Main thing is, hey, you can find these type of stories for virtually every city in the country.
You have weekly, monthly, bi-monthly people gathering to talk about black gun violence, black people talking about black gun violence.
And I've never, the only time I think you ever hear about people talking about white gun violence is After one of these horrible school shootings, and then that becomes the albatross that is hung around the neck of all white gun owners as a reason why.
Gotta get these AR-15s and these semi-automatic guns away from whitey.
That's right.
That's right.
Mass murder is all a white problem.
And you get the Twitterati going to conniptions about this.
Oh, another white guy.
Oh, danger.
Well, and then there has been another black guy, I'm afraid.
Here we go.
On August 13th, Emory University issued an announcement.
It said that the Emory Autism Center, that looks after autistic children, had become the target of several crimes.
Vending machines were vandalized, a glass door was shattered, and swastikas and racial slurs were written in the hallways.
And this is Emory in Atlanta?
Emory in Atlanta.
Very prestigious university.
Oh, very swanky.
And the area where racial slurs were repeatedly written along the walls are near the workspace occupied by two African American women.
And a swastika was in a hallway near a Jewish man's office.
So it sounds like somebody who targeted his victims with a certain amount of advanced knowledge.
Well, in an email statement from Emory University spokesperson Laura Diamond, she said, these acts of racism and anti-Semitism are painful for all of us and At the Emory community.
They will not be tolerated and every effort be made to bring the perpetrators to justice.
And of course this message that went out all far and wide included links and phone numbers for psychological counseling.
As we heal, said Laura Diamond, in the weeks and months ahead, it is important that we continue to support and provide strength to one another.
This is just one of these emotional times.
Yes.
Well, More than a month later, on September 22nd, Emory announced the arrest of a certain Roy Lee Gordon Jr.
Roy Lee Gordon, okay.
They found the white guy who did this.
They found the white guy.
Oh, white is the period's driven snow, yes.
Adding, acts of racism and anti-Semitism are painful for the entire Emory community, after they announced this.
Well, in the September 26th announcement, people obviously wanted to know, well, Emory refused to share the race.
It also refused to provide a copy of the police report or arrest warrant.
Nor did it send out a mass email message about healing.
I would have thought that the healing could sort of begin to end now, a month afterwards.
We found the perp.
Can we begin to heal?
Can we begin to heal?
Can we stop healing?
Well, pretty soon it turned out that Roy Lee Gordon Jr.
is African American and he was charged only with second degree burglary.
Now, as you probably know, Mr. Cruz, because you know everything, Georgia has a brand new hate crime show.
Oh, that was introduced right after the so-called hate shooting of the Asian spa.
That's right.
It was rushed through.
That's right.
They were just getting ready to limber this thing up in the hope of finding the great white defendant, but I guess they decided it won't apply after all.
All he's going to be charged with is second-degree burglary.
Turns out he's a former employee.
That's why he knew where the Jewish and the African-American employees were likely to sit.
And Emory Sporksman did not have any additional information to share, nor say what type of work he did or how long he was employed.
Was he the head of diversity and inclusion?
I don't know.
He's certainly got the qualifications for it, the biological qualifications.
Now, this is the great stuff.
Police reports indicate that Emory officials became aware that the perpetrator was a black man back in August.
Even before the statements came out.
Even before the statements came out, they knew he was black.
They never informed the campus or the press.
My guess is it was all on surveillance cameras.
Oh, of course.
But by then, they were in full cry about tracking down the racist and they couldn't say, ah, well, we've decided to stop the hunt.
So they had to find the guy, but no, they knew he was black.
That is a completely different aspect to these hate crime hoaxes.
The fact that they already had that established, that they ran with the narrative anyways, knowing that eventually, hey, this is probably going to come out.
Probably, but they don't care.
They don't care.
Yes, it's quite extraordinary.
They knew the perp was black.
Now, you have a different university story.
We've got a whole series of university stories for us, ladies and gentlemen, and you're going to talk to us about UT San Antonio.
A couple weeks ago, we talked about the University of Texas, where the black students are doing everything they can to sue with the NAACP there in Austin to get rid of the eyes of Texas are upon you.
All the live long day.
So everything's got to go.
We know everything's got to go.
Everything's right.
Everything's right.
I mean, gosh, at Valparaiso they just got rid of the Crusader nickname because people were saying, well, you can't have that.
You can't glorify white men.
That's anti-Islamic.
That's anti-Islamic.
I'm sure it's anti-Semitic.
I'm sure in some cases it's anti-Christian.
If you actually look at the Crusades.
If you actually read what happened.
I bet all those Crusaders were just raving homophobes, too.
That'd be my guess.
I don't think they're like George Floyd.
So, the point is where we are with this story.
We are in Texas again and we are talking about the historical slogans that are now victims of quote-unquote cancel culture.
The newest one Come and Take It at the University of Texas San Antonio.
It's said to be considered racist and divisive.
So, Come and Take It is being retired along with its accompanying imagery from its football games.
In the announcement of its removal, President Taylor Igme wrote that the slogan and flag were integral parts of Texas history.
He said that the state's history is, quote, steeped in the tradition of the Come and Take It image.
Now you know where the come and take it comes from, right?
has become an example of a politically divisive chant used by white supremacists, anti-government, and anti-gun
control groups.
Now you know where the come and take it comes from, right?
Enlighten me.
Ah, well...
Oh, no, actually, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We got to go all the way back to... It's Texas Independence.
1835.
Exactly, exactly.
But it originally comes from Molon Labe, which is supposed to be what the Spartans said to Xerxes.
That's correct.
Yes, yes.
Come and take our weapons.
Yes, exactly.
But yeah, so it's got, it's world history, really, not just Texas history.
Well, it's Western history.
Yeah, exactly.
It's our history.
I don't think this is, yeah, I'd say this is our history.
So the university president penned, quote, he wrote this, recently, this imagery has been associated with some political movements and causes.
For these and other reasons, this tradition may no longer reflect its originally intended purpose, of rallying football fans and is not reflective of our university, our funding, our founding mission, and our collective values."
Well, actually, it was the precise, precise reason that the whole university, the whole state was founded to begin with.
It's embedded in the DNA of the university in the state of Texas.
Yeah, and just for those who are not familiar with the details, the come and take it flag, it's on a white background with a picture of a black cannon and the words come and take it.
And I believe the date 1835 is on there too.
And it was when Texas was declaring independence as a group of white guys who had a little cannon that had been part of the city's fortifications.
And the Mexican government said, turn over the cannon.
And they, because they knew their Greek history.
They were their Xerxes.
Yes.
On the model of the Spartans, they said, you are welcome to come and take it.
So I actually hadn't read this whole article, but there's a couple of other lines we have to bring up just because it's so absurd.
The slogan and flags will no longer be a part of the home football games for the Roadrunners.
It's funny, back in the late 1990s, Tommy Tuberville was the head coach at Ole Miss.
And he said, guys, please stop waving the Confederate flag.
We have to get black players so we can win games and go 6-5 or 5-6 and maybe make a bowl game and get rid of our traditions because that's what matters.
Also here, their nickname is the Roadrunner.
Nothing is more terrifying than a Roadrunner.
They've got to get rid of that name, too?
Well, no, that's what they're saying.
They're going to keep this.
So they've established a task force to explore new potential traditions instead of popular rallying cry of come and take it.
Then they note that the slogan came into existence when the Texas settlers resisted demands by the Mexican government to turn over the cannon.
And they note one of the things that, again, this is another one of the casualties of the January 6 myth.
Critics have cited the January 6, 2020 U.S.
Capitol riot as an example of how the slogan has been allegedly co-opted by extreme groups.
Well, since 18... almost 100 years.
You're talking about 87 years.
Almost 200 years.
Well, since 1835.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's been a long day, guys, ladies and gentlemen.
So, hey, on that note, let me do a quick little plug here.
We've got to do these because we need you to keep sending us your questions, your stories, your concerns, and your corrections.
Do it simply by this.
Send me an email at BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word.
BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com or You can go to the AMREN site, A-M-R-E-N dot com, click on the Contact Us tab, and send us messages telling us, first of all, if we've gone wrong, where we've gone wrong.
That is what I appreciate the most.
But any stories that we have not covered, that we should have covered, any ideas that you have, any questions.
You can even ask mildly personal questions.
We don't answer all questions, but if anything you need to ask, Mr. Kersey or myself, Jared Taylor, we're happy to hear from you.
I have a mildly personal question for you.
There's a conference coming up in a couple months.
Is it sold out yet?
Oh, it's not yet sold out.
It's not yet sold out, yes.
And you can sign up at the MREN.com website.
We have a nice ad for the conference right there on the homepage.
There is still room for you and we would love to see you.
But sticking with our university theme, Now, Western Washington University has introduced a designating housing area meant exclusively for Black students.
It's called Black Affinity Housing.
It'll be available in Alma-Clark Glass Hall.
Now, Alma-Clark Glass Hall was named for the first Black student to attend the school.
Now, we don't know whether she achieved anything in life after that.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
She was the first there.
The first African-Americaness.
And they go on to say, the program will explore and celebrate the diversity of black and African-American people and culture with historical and contemporary context.
The diversity.
I guess it's diversity through segregation.
Diversity through an affinity for eliminating whiteness by accentuating blackness.
That's right.
Everything's got to be diverse.
Western students, that is to say Western Washington University residing in the program, help foster a warm and vibrant community supporting social, personal, and academic success.
Black Affinity Housing gives students, and let me quote directly from the announcement, the opportunity to live in a shared space with others who have a shared identity, specifically a marginalized identity.
Oh, what about white people?
Do we have a marginalized?
What about white southerners?
What about cis, whatever we are, cis, hetero, Christian, patriarchal?
I think we're the most marginalized identity there is.
You're just a non-BIPOC.
Get over it.
I guess so.
Now they're going to say black applicants to the university and black student organizations had called for this housing program.
Now, Western Washington University hastens to add that it's not breaking ground.
They pointed out that Stanford University, Pacific Lutheran University, Oregon State University, and Cornell all have black affinity housing.
And responding to the conviction of Derek Chauvin, now I don't know why this would make any difference at all, American University announced in May that it would begin offering black affinity housing.
Boy, Derek Chauvin's influence is far and wide.
All they need to do is get convicted and boy, there's black affinity housing for the people at American University.
Now, furthermore, and this is quite interesting, at UPenn, The athletics department opened a permanent shared space for black student-athletes.
University of Penn, okay.
Is that considered an Ivy League school?
It's considered Ivy League.
I thought so.
A permanent shared space just for black student-athletes.
How nice for them!
Now, sticking with the Penn theme, The University of Pennsylvania has renamed its Gender Studies Center.
Everything's got to change.
Not even a Gender Studies Center is safe.
When a Gender Studies Center is not safe in 2021?
Wow.
If you're being canceled for not being sufficiently anti-white and Listen to this.
You will understand as soon as I explain.
It used to be named for Alice Paul.
Needless to say, a female.
She was a suffragette who was instrumental in the approval of the 19th Amendment, giving women the vote.
Well, according to Melissa Sanchez, she is an English and comparative literature professor who will lead the Center, Penn decided to rename the Alice Paul Center in order to signal commitment to LGBTQ intellectual and political movements.
Now, this is what Melissa Sanchez has to say about it.
Originally established in 1982, this was the Alice Paul Center, when the program was called the Women's Studies Program.
Doesn't that sound quaint?
Women's Studies.
We don't have Women's Studies anymore.
I love to study women.
I'm sure a lot of people listening to No, no, no.
Women's with an apostrophe S. Mr. Kersey, no, no, no.
That's like being a Boy Scout and a Girl Scout.
Every Boy Scout becomes a Girl Scout.
In any case, back when it was called the Women's Studies Program, the Center and Department focused on gender as a single axis of identity that Drum roll please.
Privileged, white, middle class, heterosexual, cisgender women, she says.
Oh, it was exclusive.
Oh, it was elitist.
Oh, it was no good at all.
Now she was on to explain the choice to name the Alice Paul Center after the U.S.
suffragette leader fit with a limited vision.
A limited vision of what women's studies was.
She also discovered that Alice Paul had a problematic past.
Oh no.
Oh yeah.
Oh you can see it coming.
You can see it coming.
Including her role in the exclusion of black women from the suffrage movement.
Now, I don't know how much this actually happened, but according to Ms.
Sanchez, it was in order to keep Southern women on board.
Well, it's now going to be called the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies.
Sign me up.
Oh boy, great stuff.
And it will permit reflection on the history and future of queer BIPOC feminism.
Ah, that's a boom in business, you know, queer bipop feminism.
According to Netflix, it is.
It's about the only thing that new shows are geared toward impacting.
Now, the Women's Studies was originally established in 1973, now called Gender Sexuality and Women's Studies, but it had one name change in between.
I'd be curious to know what it was.
But I couldn't find out.
I did a little preliminary research on it.
It went from women's studies to something, and then from something to gender sexuality and women's studies, but...
And Melissa Sanchez.
Now, she looks fearfully white to me.
She's one of these sort of ogre-ish, bony-faced white ladies.
She just gives me the creeps.
Ogre-ish, bony-faced white?
Oh, golly, yes.
Now, I looked her up a little bit, and she's the author of a number of renowned, renowned works.
One is Shakespeare and Queer Theory.
I always wanted to know about Shakespeare and Queer Theory.
Well, I guess she's got it nailed down.
There is another book of hers called Queer Faith.
And according to the description, it reassesses key texts of the prehistory of monogamy, from Paul to Luther, Petrarch to Shakespeare, to show that writing that was assumed to promote fidelity in fact articulates the affordances of promiscuity.
What?
Yeah, that's right.
The affordances of promiscuity.
Yeah, yeah.
The writings assumed to promote fidelity were actually, they were articulating the affordances, whatever those are, of promiscuity.
So I guess when St.
Paul and Luther were telling people to respect their marriage vows, what they really meant was, hey, go out and be like bunnies.
Leap from bed to bed like mountain goats, all ye!
Well, also, one of Sanchez's projects is to recover writing that inscribes radical queer insights at the pre-modern foundations of conservative and heteronormative culture.
Did you know that at the foundations of conservative and heteronormative culture, there are radical queer insights?
So basically you're saying that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, they're going to find a way to retcon it so that they were having some sort of an affair with Sally Hemings as well.
It's all radical and queer.
Radical and queer.
Well, you know, I think I've gone my entire life without ever having a radical queer insight.
But I suppose that just makes me excessively heteronormative.
It makes you problematic for this new age.
Off with his head!
Now moving on to Arizona State University.
I told you this is sort of a little excursion into university lunacy.
This is a good one though.
Now this is Arizona State University.
Now people have probably all heard about that.
The two white students who were in the multicultural center and they were bullied to the point where they had to leave because they were white and one of them had a police matter Label on his laptop, which was visible.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
And the blacks told him that this was multicultural center and that means no white people.
And one of the guys said, well, white's part of multiculturalism.
No, no, no.
White is not a culture.
Well, so this was a story.
They were booted out.
I wish they had just held their ground and said, okay, you want us out?
Call the police.
Call the police.
We ain't leaving.
We ain't leaving.
But, you know, they're good little white people.
Gotta do what they're told, especially when a POC tells them to.
So off they scampered.
Well, a GoFundMe page was set up to support them.
Now, I don't know why exactly they needed a GoFundMe page.
How much does it raise?
It raised $3,000.
But now this is the amusing part.
GoFundMe took it down.
What?
Yes.
What was the reasoning?
It violated its terms of service because the terms of service forbid content, quote, in support of hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of any kind.
So the fact that they were bullied, that they were harassed, that they were discriminated against, they were victims of intolerance, that's too bad because they're white.
You get that?
That's GoFundMe's logic.
That is the logic of today.
I think that personifies the zeitgeist we live under right now.
That's America for you.
If you're white and you get kicked out because you're white, because multiculturalism does not include white, then if you're looking for money, you are supporting hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of some kind.
So there you go.
Now, one last university story.
I think this is the last on the list.
Yes, this is very exciting.
Virginia Tech, right in my very own state.
An instructor at Virginia Tech by the name of Crystal Duncan Lane, she teaches in the Department of Human Development and Family Science.
I don't think we had a department of that name when I was an undergraduate, but VTech does.
She established a Who I Am section for the syllabus of her course Human Development 1134, and she writes the following.
I am a Caucasian cisgender female.
Okay.
I am married to a cisgender male.
How disappointing.
How disappointing.
And we are middle class.
While I did not ask for the many privileges in my life, I have benefited from them and will continue to benefit from them whether I like it or not.
Ooh, the fact that she's middle class, white, cisgender, married to a cisgender, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Then she goes on to say this is injustice.
I am and will continue to work on a daily basis to be anti-racist and confront the innate racism within myself that is the reality in history of whites.
She adds, I want to be better.
Every day, I will transform.
That sounds exhausting.
Would you like to transform every day?
Turn yourself inside out every day.
Every day, this work terrifies me, as it should.
Every day, I invite my white students to join me on this journey, and to my students of color, I apologize for the inexcusable horrors within our shared history.
So there you go.
That is what virtual signaling white people do.
And this is for a course called Intro to Disability Studies.
Well, I think this woman has a very serious disability of her own.
Exceedingly serious and exclusively white mental disability.
But now I think you have another one of these heartwarming stories.
A new entry into the Inventors Hall of Fame.
Yes, heretofore we've had all these old-fashioned losers like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, make way for new talent.
Yes, new talent for a new century.
Black women will be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for the first time, was a CNN headline.
Black women?
Familiar lineup, familiar faces adorned the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
Tommy Edison, Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers, Eli Whitney, along with many other mostly white men. Joining them in the
next class of inductees are two black women inventors though who change the way we work and see.
Great! Marion Croke and the late Dr.
Patricia Bath will be inducted in the National Inventors Hall of Fame alongside the inventors
of the sports bra, ibuprofen, and the super soaker toy.
The sports bra?
The sports bra.
What is a Super Soaker?
A Super Soaker is a toy that children play with.
It's a water pistol.
Oh, it's a little water cannon.
The inventor of that thing is in the Hall of Fame?
Apparently he's going to be.
Just as important as the light bulb, obviously.
Yeah, so...
So, they're the first two black women to earn a spot in the Hall of Fame.
Croak, now a vice president at Google, developed voiceover internet protocol, the technology that's made working from home possible for many.
You know, I don't believe it.
Voice over internet protocol.
That's what he claims.
I don't believe it.
I bet she does not have a patent for that all to herself.
Again, I'm just going to read it again.
So ladies and gentlemen out there listening, tell me if this is true or not.
It says that Marion Croke, now a vice president at Google, developed voice over internet protocol.
And it never existed before she came along.
Okay.
All right.
Yep.
And I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
The late Bath created the Laser Phaco Probe, a device used during surgery to easily remove cataracts.
OK.
Hmm.
Well, that's their story in there, so they can do it.
Their induction is bittersweet, according to Erica Jefferson, the founder of the Organization of Black Women in Science and Engineering.
While both women made incredible strides in the male-dominated field of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, what we call STEM, Bath isn't alive to receive the honor.
And it took the National Inventors Hall of Fame nearly 50 years Nearly 50 years to induct a black woman evinces a lingering problem when it comes to recruiting and promoting women in STEM.
Oh, gosh, you know, if they had only had a few black women in there before.
Women would just be pouring in to stand?
I'm surprised all the women who supposedly got us to the moon with the Apollo program in 69, that they haven't been posthumously or brought in, like Katherine Johnson.
I mean, we're renaming everything in honor of this woman.
Well, I bet you have to have patents.
We have to have patents, but I'm sure we could make... We could posthumously grant them patents.
Yes, yeah, exactly.
Of the Hall of Fame's 610 inductees, 48 of them are women and 30 of them are black.
There are even fewer Asian and Latino inventors, 19 and 5 respectively, according to Reni Pavel, an executive vice president for selection and recognition at the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
Quote, we recognize we need more diversity among our inductees, Pavel said, but we are committed to taking steps to ensure we consistently honor black inventors.
Basically, she should have said, sort of to quote the late Norm Macdonald, hey, white people, stop inventing everything.
Please.
I'm not sure if you knew that comedian.
He just passed away of cancer.
He did the weekly update on Saturday Night Live and that's something he would have said.
Hey, white people.
Stop being so great.
What are you doing?
Stop making our life better for everyone.
You're hogging all the limelight.
Ah, well, well, all those poor black women who've been suffering discrimination all this time and all their wonderful inventions swept under the rug.
Mr. Taylor does go on to state this about Krogh.
It says she holds more than 200 patents.
She now leads Google's Research Center for Responsible AI and Humor Center Technology, Artificial Intelligence.
Uh, she was an engineer at AT&T in the 90s where it says she pioneered voice over IP.
Uh, that is the tech that allows users to make calls over the internet instead of phone lines.
I'm sure she was part of a team of... Well, she's got 200 patents.
I wonder if she's the sole inventor on them or one of many.
We won't inquire too sharply into matters of that kind.
Well, anyway, uh, okay.
Black inventors finally getting the recognition they deserve.
This is a little story, just a cute little story that caught my eye.
Fun at Dulles International Airport, which is just a few minutes from the world headquarters of New Century Foundation and American Renaissance, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection officers seized 110 pounds of cow skins in the luggage of travelers from Nigeria and Cameroon on a flight from Ethiopia.
Now, why did they seize these cow skins?
Because they are potential vectors for highly contagious and deadly diseases such as foot and mouth and bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
Now, that is something that can be contracted by humans.
Mad cow disease, BSE.
Now, at first the passenger from Nigeria told customs officials she did not have any agricultural products with her at all.
But it turned out she had 66 pounds of cow skins.
And about two pounds of woodbark.
The woodbark was found to contain live insect larvae in her luggage.
Now the traveler from Cameroon likewise made no declaration of animal product.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, none of that stuff.
But an x-ray of his baggage.
Turned up some suspicious looking things that turned out to be 44 pounds of dried beef and over 4 pounds of the same mysterious woodbark.
Now, I don't know why they have woodbark.
What the woodbark is used for, maybe... Maybe in a soup.
I think it has some sort of infusion, you know?
And I'm sure that the live insect larvae in it give it a special flavor or maybe... I don't know.
A nice crunch.
Yes, yes.
What they probably do is make it some kind of... Yes, it's good for male disorders.
I suspect that's what it's probably all about.
In any case, the prohibited animal items, which were destined to address these in Maryland, they actually had their names on them, were incinerated.
Now, this is my favorite line.
After confiscating the prohibited items, CVB officials released the travelers.
Off they go.
Okay.
Too bad.
Better luck next time.
Bye-bye.
Any punishment?
Why don't they just put them on a plane and send them right back to Ethiopia?
Because they've got to go where the Haitians are to probably try and create the new great infusion.
That great new American gastronomical insight.
It's tree bark, larva, and I don't know, you've seen the images where the Haitians, they eat them.
Is it the mud patties?
What, uh, what, uh, these, these creepy crawlies that they dig out of the ground?
I'm not quite so sure.
Oh dear.
Well, this is out of, out of bark, so I'm sure they're fine and just tasty.
Now here's another little story for you.
Uh, this one caught my eye.
In West Virginia, there are fracking gas fields.
And they need to go through pipelines to get to markets on the East Coast.
And the obvious pipeline was something called the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which runs for 600 miles.
But on the route of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline sat Union Hill of Virginia.
The residents there fought against a planned compressor station that was meant to help the gas move through the pipeline because Union Hill is a historically black community, and the resulting air pollution would be an environmental injustice.
Now, this obviously raises very interesting questions, which we'll get to later.
Dominion Energy, one of the pipeline's two developers, pledged to invest $5.1 million in the community in exchange for the compressor station.
That seems like a pretty tidy sum to me.
Now, I don't know what a compressor station looked like.
They said this was going to be super clean and cause no environmental damage ever, so what?
This campaign of offering $5 million in community services split the Union Hill community and then, Dominion Power, what they did was something unusual.
They hired an outside consultant to argue that the community around the site was, in fact, mostly white.
No environmental justice community is disproportionately impacted, they said in a proposal to state officials, arguing that around the project they were not majority-minority or low-income.
And they said it was going to be super clean anyway, and they weren't going to be polluting the air for black people, so that would be just fine.
This is the crazy thing.
Environmental racism.
If they were white, there'd be no problem.
Exactly.
Go ahead and poison them.
That's our deliberate state policy, I think, at this point.
Fill their lungs with pollutants.
Send all kinds of noxious chemicals into their drinking water, so long as they're white.
Yes, if it had been majority white, who cares if there were environmental problems, which they say there wasn't to begin with.
But the locals who took on dominion, these black heroes, eventually became the linchpin of a campaign that helped get the whole pipeline cancelled.
Yes, just as energy prices are going up, the whole pipeline's been cancelled.
So, we don't get to benefit from this fracked gas at all.
But again, majority white, who cares?
If you're black, we gotta take special environmental care.
And here's another example of this sort of thing.
In North Brooklyn, New York, a community group is alleging a civil rights violation.
Because black and latinx residents say that the National Grid's plan for a 7-mile natural gas pipeline goes through their area.
So there you go!
If you're black and latinx, then you get special privileges and the gas pipeline need not go through your area.
Sick it on the white man!
There you go.
Now, I think you had had another one of these really interesting stories about Chris Rufo dug it up.
Chris Rufo is an indefatigable digger-upper of all the crazy things going on in corporations today.
There's nobody else that's really holding the torch.
And trying to find as many of the rats within these corporations.
Spotlight.
Exactly.
His latest story over at City Journal.
Last year, CBS Health Corporation, the largest pharmacy chain in the United States of America, paid then CEO Larry Merlo almost 618 times the median company wage.
While Simultaneously launching a mandatory anti-racist training program for hourly employees to deconstruct their privilege.
These are hourly employees.
This is probably the bottom of the totem pole.
Yes, exactly.
So, individuals from inside CVS Health reveal the company's extensive race re-education program, which is built on the core tenets of critical race theory, including intersectionality, white privilege, and unconscious bias.
Hey, Chris Ruffo, call it what it is.
Simply anti-white bigotry, prejudice, and extreme derision toward historical whites and all future progeny of whites.
And this is the white hourly employee.
Exactly.
As a keynote for the initiative, Merlo, who has since retired, hosted a conversation with Boston University professor Ibram Kendi told 25,000 CBS employees that, quote, to be born in the United States is to literally have racist ideas rain on our head consistently and constantly.
Yes, all you janitors and truck drivers, you've just had racist ideas rained on your head, start to finish.
So some of these CBS employees, when they watch in San Francisco, blacks brazenly come in and just steal things off of the shelves and run out.
They are thinking about, my God, that was not spit that the guy just did at me.
He didn't just spit at me.
That's racist ideas raining down.
That's what Ibram Kendi told me.
Ibram Kendi.
He also argued that Americans are, quote, walking through society completely soaked in racist ideas, including children's illness two and three.
Our kids are basically functioning on racist ideas, choosing who to play with based on the kid's skin color.
The solution, in part, is to diagnose employees as racist in order to help them become anti-racist and stop hurting somebody else.
So a series of these training modules instructed employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and then rank themselves according to their privilege.
We should do that.
We should find one of these Ibram Kendi tests, or these case studies that he puts out there, and actually do this on air.
I think that would be a lot of fun.
I think we would end up deep in the well.
We are very, very bad people, you and I. About as bad as it's possible to get.
I've heard that.
Trust me, I've heard that.
The exercise is grounded in the theory of intersectionality, which holds that individuals can be reduced to a network of overlapping identities that determine their position They're positioned on the social hierarchy with privileged groups occupying the oppressor role and underprivileged groups in the oppressor role.
As you said, how could you two years ago have ever thought that we'd live in a world where a guy like Ibram Kendi can tell young white children that you are an oppressor because you are white?
And he tells this to CVS employees 25,000 at a time?
He said this to 25,000 CVS employees.
That's one mighty big Zoom conference.
Here's a couple more things from this event that he was paid so handsomely for.
Training asks CVS employees to circle their identities, including race, gender, sexuality, religion, then reflect on their privilege during the discussion.
Examples of privilege according to a checklist include celebrating Christmas, having a name that is easy to pronounce, That's a first one.
Ibram, Ibram, that's not too bad.
Feeling safe in your neighborhood at night and feeling confident in my leadership style.
Another exercise called Say This, Not That provided employees with detailed racial etiquette reference cards to reorient their speech to the values of Diversity, inclusion, and equity.
Employees were told to cease using problematic phrases including, hey, I'm colorblind, I grew up poor, peanut gallery, I'm not racist, and we must stand up for minorities.
All these phrases are racist microaggressions that minimize the existence of systemic racism, have a racist history, and quote, Could be seen as discrediting the experiences of black people and their culture.
Is, to say peanut gallery, does that implicitly insult the memory of George Washington Carver?
Well, you know.
What's wrong with peanut gallery?
Obviously.
And why can't we stand up for minorities?
You're not, no, you can't stand up for minorities.
Do we sit down for minorities?
You have to kneel for minorities.
That's what this is all about, Mr. Taylor.
I guess so, all right.
Okay, well.
Then let's jump quite a ways over to Europe, Germany.
Last week was the 60th anniversary of the day that Berlin signed a migration deal with Turkey, which allowed tens of thousands of Turkish citizens to find jobs in Germany.
Now, they expected them just to come and work and go home.
That's not what happened.
This has now led to a Turkish-German population that is 2.7 million and growing, the largest ethnic minority in the country today.
Well, the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeiser celebrated the 60th anniversary with a speech.
And he went on to say, they, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, they are now Germany.
He said, they are now Germany.
A Germany without them is simply unimaginable.
As I've said many times, I could sure imagine it.
I could imagine it with no difficulty at all.
He goes on to say, there were no language courses, no support, no integration policy, and in fact, for the simple reason that integration was not desired.
And now he's apologizing for it.
He says that German identity now includes All of those who want to live peacefully in this land of law and freedom.
Anybody and everyone.
I wonder if you and I would be welcome.
I don't think so.
I don't think we would be welcome.
I think we would be automatic perpetrators of hate crimes just because of who we are.
Well, we are creeping up on the end of our time, and I think I will repeat what you said earlier.
We love to hear from you.
Any questions you have, any comments, and as I said before, any corrections you may make of errors we have made, please send them to becausewelivehere at protonmail.com.
That'll go straight to Paul Kersey.
