Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable, inimitable co-host, the one and only Paul Kersey.
And it is October 6th, Year of Our Lord 2021.
And as always, we have a cornucopia.
Our cup runneth over with things to tell you.
But as has become customary, let us begin with a listener comment and then a question.
The comment is a particularly encouraging one.
A listener writes in to say, I have been a fan for a long time and I have my family members also listening to your podcast.
I used to send the link, but now we listen together.
It sounds like a family undertaking.
Very nice.
She goes on to say, it's great because we have discussions after most podcasts and I love it.
My teenage daughter is in on this as well.
I didn't realize that teenage girls were part of our audience, but that's gratifying.
I guess we maybe need to keep an eye on our language sometime.
Hey, make sure you TikTok about us.
We speak your language too, teenage girls.
I guess.
Now she goes on to say, keep spreading the truth.
And you've actually sparked some interest in my daughter to look to starting her own podcast.
Can you believe that?
You and I have been an inspiration to this teenage girl.
That is very gratifying.
May I say something real quick?
Please!
I would say be careful doing that.
At the same time, we are in a situation that is so unprecedented.
We are in a situation where we need individuals to create content that motivates, and that enlightens, and that is engaging.
So, you know what?
Yes, by all means do it, but as Mr. Kersley says, be very careful.
If you must, use a nom de guerre or a nom de radio, nom de podcast, because we live in very unforgiving times.
And our listener concludes with advice.
Remember, keep your head on a swivel.
Hey, I think that's for everybody out there in radio and podcast land.
That's right.
Of course, I've been a bobblehead all my years, but I need to be going in other directions, too, here.
Yes, we need to keep an eye out in all directions.
Now, here comes a question.
A listener asks about the Arizona State University event.
We spoke about that, I believe it was just last week, in which two white students at the multicultural center were kicked out by two black women who said that they were white and a multicultural center is not for them because there is no such thing as white culture.
The listener from Austin, TX writes in, I was curious what you thought a good response to the assertion there is no white culture would be.
I would say, open your eyes.
Put your head on a swivel, look around you, and everything you see is white culture.
The clothes you are wearing, the computer you are holding, everything that you do, the language that you speak, everything that you will see in a museum practically, the periodic table, the scientific revolution, our society, representative government, everything, every bit of it is white culture.
The cell phone that you recorded, the white people in Multicultural Center who had no culture, that comes from?
Yes, of course.
It's all white culture.
The fact that you speak English, for heaven's sake, is white culture.
You think Zulu's invented the English language?
No.
The idea that whites have no culture, I suppose it's because we have created almost everything that we think of as the modern world, people seem to forget that.
And of course these non-whites, especially blacks, accuse us of having no culture, Because they are blinded by this dazzling creation that surrounds them that they could never have created and for which they benefit every day.
So, that's what I would say.
Open your eyes and look around at everything you see.
So, our first story has to do with George Floyd who is back from the dead and back in the news.
The Texas State Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday recommended that he be pardoned for his 2004 arrest in which he was convicted of selling drugs.
Now, why is this?
It's because he was arrested by a former Houston Police Department officer, Gerald Goines.
As it turns out, Gerald Goines was the sole fact witness against Mr. Floyd in the alleged sale of a $10 crack rock.
Now, this landed George Floyd 10 months in jail, according to court documents.
Now, why is the fact that Gerald Goines was the sole fact witness, why is that ground for George Floyd to get a posthumous pardon?
As it turns out, this Mr. Goines, heavily melanin-enhanced, I might add, is accused of what appears to be really a rather murky past.
He falsified statements in order to conduct a raid on a house in Houston, and the residents of that house lost their lives due to this botched raid, and four police officers were shot.
Sounds like a very bad afternoon.
Now Goins, officer, former officer Goins was indicted and charged with murder and tampering with a government record as a result of this botched raid.
He apparently lied in order to get a search warrant and he claimed that there was a confidential informant buying heroin in the house.
Later it turned out that there was no informant and that he bought the heroin.
I don't, I really don't understand what's going on.
What year was this?
This is in 2019.
So why would that have anything to do with something that happened in 2004?
Well, listen on.
He later admitted there was no informant, yes, and this fabricated this imaginary drug deal as part of the justification for this raid in which two people were killed and five police were wounded.
And he had a confederate, Stephen Bryant.
I suppose I shouldn't use that word.
No, confederate is the wrong word for melanin-enhanced... He had an accomplice.
He had an accomplice, a helper.
Steve Bryant, also on the force, also melanin-enhanced.
He had a federal charge of falsifying records that interfered with the government investigation of this deadly botched raid, and he lied on a report to protect Officer Gerald Goins, his pal, who led the Nonok raid.
And after Bryant, the guy who's already pled guilty, broke through the door, the homeowners, Dennis Tuttle and Rogena Nichols, man and wife, both white, were shot.
Their dog was shot, just for good measure.
Now, they apparently were not taking this without returning fire, and five police officers were wounded.
Now, who knows how much of that was friendly fire.
No drugs were found.
So, this guy is such a bad character, and this is to answer your question, Mr. Kersey.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office has been reviewing hundreds of Officer Goyne's past cases on the assumption that if he is the sole witness, it was a bunch of baloney.
And other defendants who want a pardon, all they have to do is not that this Officer Goines lied, only that their conviction rested on evidence that he provided.
Isn't that the most amazing thing?
If he provided the evidence, then you get to walk.
No matter what it was.
Doesn't matter.
Isn't that incredible?
So it sounds as though these two blacks are just a rogue team of completely out-of-control officers.
I'm sure affirmative action beneficiaries to the nth degree.
But according to the newspapers, this Goins guy has been lying about drug raids for years in order to get more overtime.
Now, that seems to be a very strange reason to set up a completely phony no-knock arrest, but I could get more detail out of these newspaper accounts.
They go in and they kill two white people, and their dog, and there's a shootout, and police officers are hurt, just so we can get more overtime?
This doesn't make much sense.
In any case, the final decision on the pardon will be made by Governor Greg Abbott.
But it seems like a done deal.
After all, George Floyd, for heaven's sake!
Of course, it is particularly pointless.
First of all, he's dead.
He is dead.
Yes.
And also, he was arrested four other times, and he went to jail for this break-in in which he was waving a gun around at this woman.
That just doesn't much matter.
And he died resisting arrest for another crime, passing a phony $20 bill.
The Commission on Board of Pardons and Paroles wrote a request of more than 140 pages explaining why he deserved a pardon.
140 pages?
Yeah!
That would be interesting to read.
I would love to know what exactly were some of the justifications.
I'm sure it is a public document, Mr. Kersey.
If you've got nothing better to do, just feast your eyes upon this.
But, and I suppose later we will learn that those pornography films that starred him, well that wasn't really him, that was his stunt double.
I'll let you research that one.
But you have late breaking news on George Floyd, as I recall.
Yeah, so you recall that in Newark, they've got the George Floyd statue there in front of City Hall in Newark.
Well, a statue of George Floyd was just vandalized in Union Square in Manhattan.
And this became cause for international concern.
And a manhunt that the FBI, I'm sure, was called out on just as they are now being called out on investigating parents who dare protest critical race theory and the teaching of George Floyd as one of the patron saints of America at PTA meetings.
I don't think we're going to get to talk about that today, but that's a pretty shocking story.
Well, we'll see what turns up.
Okay.
But back to what happened here.
So the statue was splattered with what was called gray paint around 10 a.m.
this past weekend.
The statue is one of three new monuments by the artist Chris Karnabushi that was unveiled in the park on Thursday of last week.
That was September 30th.
The Sea and Justice art installation also includes statues of, well, Three of the four horsemen of the racial apocalypse, as you call it, the bipocalypse.
Breonna Taylor, who was shot by Louisville police in that rather strange incident back in March of 2020.
After her boyfriend opened fire.
Let's always have that fact.
Yes, that is.
There's an asterisk that we have to talk about.
Yes, yes.
Almost used as a human shield.
Georgia Rep John Lewis, the prominent civil rights leader who died last year.
And of course, I guess whoever the next one's going to be, that'll be the fourth four of the Four Horsemen of the Bipocalypse.
We're waiting on who it's going to be.
Cori Bush.
Cori Bush.
Okay.
Yeah, that's my guess.
Has the Ahmaud Arbery, has that trial started yet?
Not yet.
It's been delayed.
It was set to start just in a few days, but they've delayed the trial.
Okay, to 2022 perhaps?
Probably, probably so.
No, I was looking forward to reading all about it, but no, that is a pleasure that has been deferred.
Well, this is the second time the Floyd statue has been vandalized.
Back in June, the statue was defaced, not with gray paint, but with black paint and marked with the logo of a white supremacist group while on display in Brooklyn before it actually made it to where its final I wonder what that might be.
Maybe a national review?
What white supremacist group do you think they found?
I mean anything's white supremacist these days.
It was the Heritage Foundation logo.
What is Grover Norquist's group?
Something about tax.
Americans for tax reform or some nonsense.
Oh, clearly white supremacy.
Oh, utter white supremacy.
How dare we take taxes.
No, I can't wait.
Have they caught the perp?
Well, they've not, but here we go.
Members of the group that installed the statue painstakingly cleaned it before it was moved to Union Square.
Karnabushi told the New York Times this week that he repainted all three statues before they went up in Union Square so it would be easier to clean if they were vandalized.
No arrests have been made in connection with Saturday's incident.
The investigation remains ongoing as of this recording. So hopefully we find out who it was that
did this. In fact, you can go to crimestoppers.nypdonline.org and you can figure out a
way to tell them what's happening.
And one of the things that was actually listed in the article that I read, for some reason
they decided to point out that Floyd, a black man, died on May 25th, 2020 after a white
Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
And in the article, I thought this was so funny, there was actually an editor's note that The day of the incident was updated, as well as the amount of time on the officer's knee was on his Floyd's neck.
I'm surprised, Mr. Taylor, that we haven't seen an elementary school system around the country yet institute, instead of the Pledge of Allegiance, eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence before the day begins.
Yes.
Wouldn't that be a more fitting way to remember the somber eight minutes and 46 seconds that I think that would be much more meaningful to a lot of our children who probably don't even know what the word allegiance means.
Yes, indeed.
Well, yes, hate is clearly on the march.
I wonder if there will be any surveillance cameras that will detect the race and the complexion of the person involved.
If there are, they'll be erased.
Probably so.
But moving from, now this is in Brooklyn, moving from Brooklyn to Chicago.
This is quite an interesting story that has gotten some attention, but I'll go into it in the detail that it deserves.
Last week, Around, uh, on Monday around 10 30 in the morning, two Dodge Chargers.
This seems to be the preferred car.
It's a nice car.
It's a muscle car.
It's a muscle car.
Well, you know, these gang bangers, they love muscle cars.
They were driven by members of the Body Snatchers faction of the Four Corner Hustlers.
These are very melanin-enhanced black gangsters.
This is not West Side Story.
No, no, no.
This is Chicago, boy.
This is all different.
Apparently, you see, the Four Corner Hustlers have factions.
One of the factions is the Body Snatchers, and they drove to a block on North Mason Avenue in Chicago and exchanged words.
Exchange words.
I love that.
I wonder what words they exchange.
Probably not pronounceable on a family-friendly program.
No, our teenage listeners would not like to hear those words.
No, no.
Of course, they're probably more familiar with them than we are.
But do they exchange words with members of the gang's Jack Boys faction?
Okay, so we have two factions.
Then, after circling the block and coming back, at least three of the body snatchers jumped out of the two chargers and began to shoot into a brick house that was filled with jackboys.
Well, needless to say, members of the jackboys returned fire, and two of the body snatchers outside were left wounded, including a 32-year-old who was later pronounced dead.
So, we have one killing here.
A 29-year-old aligned with the jacked boys inside the break house was also hit and wounded.
Outside, more than 70 shell casings were found.
Now that does not reflect the number that were fired from inside.
I don't think the shell casings were going out the window.
But in any case, we had a brisk exchange of fire at 1030 in the morning.
Now the gunfight was caught on a police POD camera.
I'd never heard of a POD camera, but that is a police observation device.
They've got them sprinkled in the sensitive areas in Chicago.
I can't believe they're allowed to do that.
Isn't that profiling?
Ah, well, you know, you think they ought to have them in all the white suburbs, too?
Aye.
Well, they should not be disproportionately placed if there's disparate impact.
You're probably right.
They should put them in all those insensitive areas, too.
In any case, this little exchange of fire came to a halt when a police cruiser pulled up.
Now, why didn't they just turn on the cops?
I don't know.
In any case, the body snatchers then fled in their chargers, leaving their fatally wounded accomplices behind.
They don't, they, these are not the special forces.
They don't bring out their dead.
They say, hey, fend for yourself, guys.
See you later.
And later, during a brief chase, the 20-year-old driver of the car, this is, this is, uh, of one of the, oh, let's see.
No, uh, I got lost.
One of the cars was later found engulfed in flames nearby.
Okay.
That's exciting.
They were smart to, I guess, get rid of fingerprints?
Ah, who knows.
But one of the cars, after a brief chase, the 20-year-old driver crashed.
And he was taken into custody.
An AK-47 assault rifle, assault rifle so-called, was found in his car.
Although the police don't think that's what they used.
I guess they didn't find any .223 cartridges out there.
Or no, that's .30 caliber, aren't they?
An AK would be .30 caliber.
But, uh, so it appears that both charges were probably stolen.
One had dealer plates and the other had no license plates at all.
But you can cruise through Chicago at 10 30 in the morning with no plates and nobody's apparently going to stop you.
Meanwhile, back at the Brick House, which is the Jack Boys headquarters, they refused to come out.
And there was a standoff that required a SWAT team to respond.
That means those inside the house had time to get rid of all their guns and clean up any evidence and several gun cases, but no weapons were found.
When the boys actually came out.
So three Jack boys taken into custody, including the man who was shot.
Investigators also, they sought charges against two members of the Body Snatchers, the driver who crashed and the 20-year-old man that they took to the hospital.
However, now this is the exciting part of the story.
Here you have these three Jack boys and two surviving Body Snatchers.
All charges have been dropped.
All charges dropped?
All charges dropped.
Yes.
Why is this?
Well, at first they were going to hit them with aggravated battery and first-degree murder, but prosecutors, and remember who's the head prosecutor?
Oh, if I remember correctly.
Kimmy, Kimmy girl.
Kimmy Fox, right?
Kimmy, Kimmy Fox.
Kimmy, Kimmy Fox.
Friend of all, friend of all criminals.
She said there's insufficient proof to meet, insufficient evidence to meet our burden of proof to approve felony charges.
She said the victims of the shootout weren't cooperating with investigators, and if they rat on each other, apparently that's no good.
Now the fact that the POD camera, the police observation device, caught it all, that just seems not to matter.
Now there's another little kink to this, and that is the police report also explained that one reason they were not going to file charges is because These were deemed to be mutual competence.
You know about mutual combat?
Enlighten me.
Mutual combat is a legal term used to define a fight or struggle that two parties willingly engage in.
And apparently, here, this is what Wikipedia calls it.
When two individuals intentionally and consensually engage in a fight while not hurting bystanders or damaging property.
Wikipedia says mutual combat has been used to deny damage claims as a legal defense and to drop charges against those doing the fighting.
So, apparently, you know, ah, you know, they were both, uh, this was not aggression.
These both sides were interested in doing it, so let them battle it out.
Seems to be the reasoning.
Now, as a matter of fact, just last week, Cook County prosecutors, that's Kimmy Baby, Kimmy Baby came under fire after reportedly making a similar argument after a teenager was stabbed to death during a fight.
The family of the victim, 18-year-old Manuel Portiz Jr., race unspecified, later said that prosecutors specifically told them That they weren't charging the 17-year-old suspect with murder because the fatal fight amounted to mutual combat.
Isn't this the most astonishing?
This is a dangerous precedent here.
Well, apparently dueling is legal again.
That's what this sounds like between this Body Snatchers group and what was the other... I got lost thinking about it.
Body Snatchers and the Jackboy.
Well, that means, Mr. Cruz, if you step on my shoe and I say, you're gonna die for this, boy!
And we decide that we're gonna just step outside and settle this matter with crowbars.
That's mutual combat and it's not a crime.
Even if I kill you.
Although I think that's not the way it would work.
You're a bigger guy.
Be that as it may, doesn't this sound like dueling to me?
It sounds exactly like dueling.
Let's bring it back!
Golly!
But in any case, if this is the case, if they don't cooperate with the police, and they say, no, no, no, we both wanted to blaze away, it's about time we duked it out.
No charges!
Now meanwhile, in a separate story, I thought this was somehow relevant.
I thought I'd tack it on to this Kimmy Fox story.
And do not forget, ladies and gentlemen, she's one of our wonderful Soros-funded district attorneys who made such a distinguished series of decisions in the Jussie Smollett case and, as I say, has been the criminal's best friend in Chicago.
Meanwhile, the city has been installing what are known as Bleeding Control Kits across the city.
Bleeding Control Kits.
Okay, okay.
Bleeding control kits.
The city will install 426 bleeding control kits in 269 Chicago buildings,
probably likewise in sensitive areas.
Aye.
Because, you know, certain people are more likely to bleed than others.
They are.
Now, City Hall and Chicago Public Libraries, you're going to get them.
Okay.
Now, I'm a little bit surprised, Public Libraries.
I don't suspect the fellas are likely to be spending time reading.
I don't think they're using the books.
I think they're using computers.
I wonder what they're using those computers for.
This is a friendly, friendly show.
Family friendly show.
You're right.
No, they're probably not reading Jane Eyre.
Now, each of these 426 bleeding control kits can treat up to eight victims.
So you can break out a kit for a mass shooting.
3,200 people.
That's right.
That's right.
They're ready.
There you go.
They're ready, you know.
Each kit is equipped with a tourniquet, gauze, shears, I guess this is for cutting people's clothes open so you can get it the right, put that tourniquet in the right place, and an instruction manual on how to use it.
What do you think of that?
I think we're going to see a lot of these on eBay.
I suspect, yes.
I think maybe a lot of people are going to sell them on Amazon, go on Craigslist.
People will be trying to sell this stuff.
Obviously, these things are in publicly accessible places, and when somebody actually needs one, what's the chance of the, what do they call them?
Bleeding control kit.
What are the chances of this BCK being where it's supposed to be?
But they're instructions.
You know, if you don't know, you just stop, read the instructions.
Well, this guy, his femoral artery is pumping blood out.
Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom.
You read the instructions and it says, okay, put the tourniquet here.
In any case, they're used for life-threatening bleeding emergencies.
But after all, as of Monday, that is the day before yesterday, Chicago had reported 2,688 shootings, an 11% increase from this time last year, last year being a record increase.
So, bleeding control is something that that city needs.
Well, how long until we see a story where someone actually does use a bleeding control kit, and then as they're trying to bring someone back to life before an EMT answers, One of these other gangs comes by and there's another shooting.
I mean, this is so absurd.
That story you just read, I mean, again, think about where we are now in 2021.
We're tearing down all the monuments.
We're putting up monuments to George Floyd.
You know, how long until there's a push to have a George Floyd monument, Mr. Taylor, on what was once the greatest city in the country, Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia?
They just unveiled, have you seen that new statue they unveiled of the Liberator?
I think it's a black guy in chains.
No, his book and his chain.
Yes, and his back is completely whipped.
It's basically created to do one thing and that is create animosity toward Toward any white person that a black person sees.
At least it's not on the Robert E. Lee pediment.
Not yet.
I'm sure they're going to put the rumor of war there.
Probably.
In any case, now, bleeding control kits.
What's New Haven doing?
I think New Haven, oh, no, I guess this is really not that important.
This isn't that important.
I'm going to go quick.
The reason why I thought this was interesting, because this is where your esteemed alma mater is located.
But apparently bullets are beginning to fly.
They are.
Increased rates of gun violence cause city officials to implement new solutions.
You know, when you think about an Ivy League, the last thing you think about is a city that's overwhelmed with gun violence.
Do you recall what life was like back in the 60s when you were a... I must say I never heard a single gun go off.
Well, why I'm going to bring this up just real quick, because this article gets into who's actually Pulling the trigger.
Uh-oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, and by the way, I do want to make one quick correction.
The AK-47 round is a 7.62x39 caliber.
But that is essentially a .30 caliber round.
Correct.
So just for anyone out there listening who might write in to us.
Yes.
7.62.
Not 5.56.
Not 5.56.
2.23.
Yeah, the NATO round.
5.62, not 5.56.
Not 5.56, 2.23, yeah, the NATO round.
So since the start of the year, New Haven has seen 22 homicides and 264 confirmed shots fired.
That's a rate of a gunshot per day, according to the New Haven Police Department.
Now, the city saw 13 homicides.
between June and October, though New Haven has historically been divided on its proposed
solution to gun violence, city authorities have outlined their aim of collaborating,
blah, blah, blah, community members, organizers, we've got to get the community involved.
So what's actually happening? Well, we have somebody called Chaz Carmen. He's the president
of Ice the Beef. Ice the Beef?
No, I'm sure there's somebody out there with a fantasy football name for his team called Ice
the Beef, or there's a bunch of suburban dads out there who every Sunday they get together
to ice the beef when it comes to grilling for their family.
Ice the Beef, in this case, is a gun violence prevention organization primarily targeted toward black and brown youth to tell them to, hey, cool the ife, baby!
Cool the beef, baby.
Don't shoot, please.
So the effort should involve everyone in the community.
He said this, quote, you know, it's all of us together as community residents and the mayor and equally teachers and children, everybody, the whole community coming together to stand against what we have going on in our neighborhoods.
But we all get affected by this gun violence when a child is lost.
He's acknowledged that the pandemic hindered Ice the Beef's youth programming.
I guess they're all social distancing and wearing masks.
He told the news that many of its yearly programs are starting up right now.
As you can imagine, these include youth activities from arts to midnight basketball.
It's the first time I've seen the word midnight basketball in a long time.
Well, you know, I think the only solution is to issue a bulletproof vest to every melanin-enhanced inhabitant of New Haven.
Have they come to that yet?
Here's what Carmen said.
Well, we're going to talk about a lot of fire departments that are doing that.
Carmen emphasized the importance of community policing.
He said Ice the Beef does its own community walkthroughs involving a bunch of black men and Latino men walking through their neighborhoods talking to residents.
New Haven neighborhoods also do a good job of community policing.
Well, I would say they haven't really done a great job if you're having One confirmed gunshot per day and 22 homicides in a city, I can't imagine New Haven being more than what, 45,000 people?
Probably something like that.
No, no, it was a pretty peaceful place when I was there, but that was long ago.
Now, yes, that's right, Portland Firemen, they're going to be kitted out with bulletproof vests, right?
Yeah, let me pull this story up because this is actually something that's happening across the country, and I'm not going to be one that says, oh, they're Democrat-controlled cities.
No, they're cities where there's a lot of black people that are committing violent crime and shooting people.
So the Portland Fire and Rescue will now be equipped with ballistic vests when responding to certain calls in response to the city's vast increase in violent crime.
Well, it's largely a result of the defund the police movement that started back in May of 2020.
But now hold on, certain calls.
Yes, we'll get to that, we'll get to that.
Police, Portland Fire and Rescue will now be equipped, like I said, with ballistic vests.
They're ordering 200 bulletproof vests after union members expressed concern about heightened criminal attacks in the city.
First responders, as they go in, We can become targets.
Even when you look at the totality of the city, it's definitely become a less safe place to work for their firefighters.
There's no way to mince any words about it.
That was the president of the Portland Firefighters Association, Alan Fershweiler.
According to Terry Foster, the Portland Fire and Rescue Public Information Officer, the vests are needed to withstand bullets and knife attacks.
Quote, it's something we've talked about in the past, but it's something we're moving on now.
He went on to say this, quote, I think times change and the landscape of the types of calls we go on change over time.
I know when I came quite a while ago, this was not even thought about.
Our chief cares about our members and she does not want on her watch anything like that to happen.
For us, anything is about safety.
So this is just another level of safety.
You never know what's going to happen, end quote.
Well, I think we know that years ago, this would be unthinkable.
But Portland changed dramatically.
Times change.
They sure do.
The times, they are changing.
Well, on a different story, times are changing in the elite law firms in the United States, because both in the U.S.
and Britain, they are being pushed by some of their biggest customers to change with the times.
Companies such as Facebook, HP, and Novartis are part of a growing number of major global companies that have warned that they will take their work away or they will cut fees unless they see more racial and gender diversity in the law firms that they hire.
The clients say diverse legal teams deliver more creative and well-rounded advice.
I bet that's true.
I'd like to see the evidence.
I'd like to see the evidence.
It's testable.
Yes, just because you got a one-legged lesbian Somali on the legal team, that's going to mean you're going to get better, well-rounded, more creative advice.
Maybe more creative, but maybe not necessarily applicable.
In any case, what we learned is that women make up little more than a quarter of the partners at 10 of the most prestigious firms on either side of the Atlantic.
And only about 10% of partners in U.S.
firms are POCs.
Racial minorities make up only 8% of the UK-based partners at elite British firms.
They're way behind.
Of course, there are not as many BIPOCs in Britain anyway.
Now, HP Inc.
was one of the first companies to warn that it would penalize law firms that flunked certain diversity benchmarks.
Back in 2017, it said it would temporarily withhold a portion of the fees from those that didn't have someone diverse handling the issues, or at least one racially diverse attorney either managing or performing at least 10% of the work.
Jeez!
Quotas.
Quotas.
HP has, on average, enforced that threat On one or two firms each quarter ever since, says a spokesman.
This is not just talk.
They withhold fees.
They say, no, we need BIPOCs on the job.
Others have done the same.
Facebook requires that half the lawyers Half.
On its outside, U.S.
legal teams be diverse in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability status.
Wow.
Because, you know, people in wheelchairs are really creative.
They're very creative.
Very adroit and dexterous.
When it comes to legal reasoning, oh, they've got us two-legged guys absolutely beat.
And they have boosted that mandate from 33%.
So half the team, half the legal team has got to meet these criteria, or they will withhold fees.
I don't know if that's even legal.
No.
How can that be legal?
If you say, I'm not going to pay you, if it turns out you didn't have enough trannies on the legal team, so you don't get paid.
Think about it this way.
They're paying, they win the case, and they're like, wait a second, wait a second.
Those white people were too creative.
There weren't enough non-whites who were creative enough.
Even though we won, we can't pay you.
That's right.
Can't pay you.
But see, what I don't understand is, how do they prove someone is LGBTQ?
That's always been a real head-scratcher for me.
Couldn't someone just volunteer to grow a neat little beard and wear the lavender necktie?
Hey, I'll be the homo this time.
Who's going to prove it?
And since we're all gender fluid, couldn't one of the white guys say that he used to be a woman?
Right?
You could.
I used to be a woman.
Or you can say, I want to be a woman.
I think that would make you good enough.
But this stuff, you know, the crazy thing is, law firms hire the people that they think are going to make the best lawyers.
And if they really were getting the best legal decisions from all of these weirdos that they claim that they want, these big companies claim they want, Boy, but they'd be doing it!
They'd be doing it!
No, they'd be doing it, but they'd be clamoring for that best talent, and that talent would...
Write their own ticket.
And the other thing is HP.
I mean, all of these tech companies, how diverse are they?
They're insisting on 50% being flim flam, this, that, and the other.
And look at their, it's just sickening.
Developers, yeah, exactly.
Look at all the people writing the code, writing the software.
Come on, this is so absurd.
I mean, once again, this is just an indicator of The late stage neurosis that is just engulfing the Western world and driving, it's driving force behind all the CRT nonsense we've seen.
Because the elite, this is their religion, and we are the heretics.
We sure are.
We are the heretics.
But once again, hate is on the march.
Two St.
Louis area high schools, Parkway Central and Parkway North in St.
Louis, Found in the boys' room the following words, hope all black people die, and that unpronounceable nuclear weapon of a word that starts with N and contains two G's that we are not allowed to pronounce.
Well, the next morning at Parkway Central, over a thousand students and staff walked out in solidarity.
Okay.
Solidarity with a guy who wrote the graffiti?
Well, I suppose not.
And to ask the administration for change, one student said, I'm sitting in that building shaking in fear because I don't know what's going to happen to me because of my skin tone.
We need change, and we don't need it then, we need it now.
Another student claimed it was just another day at the racist cauldron known as Parkway Central.
I was shocked, but at the same time, honestly, I wasn't.
It was actually referred to as a racist cauldron.
What is this?
A bunch of Slytherins from the world of Harry Potter getting together to say, what are these mudbloods doing?
Let's get our racist cauldron together and conjure up something.
Well, you're being very imaginative, Mr. Curtis.
But this term, racist cauldron, was not in quotes.
So that may be an attribution on the part of the article writer to the person.
He just said I was shocked.
At the same time, honestly, I wasn't.
He didn't call it necessary, but maybe he called it a racist cauldron.
You've read the Harry Potter books.
What's the cauldron restaurant they go to?
In Diagon Alley?
In Diagon Alley.
I can't remember.
Do they go to a restaurant?
Maybe they do.
It's been a long time.
The Leaky Cauldron or something?
It could be.
It's certainly not the racist cauldron.
Forgive our Harry Potter fandom, ladies and gentlemen.
We both have kids.
But then a third student says, it's kind of embarrassing because you know you have other schools looking at you like you're the racist school.
That's a school you'd never wanted to go to because stuff like that actually happens.
Graffiti in a bathroom.
Graffiti in a bathroom makes you the racist school.
Well then, according to news accounts, students were cursing at school administrators for letting this happen.
Weeping, shedding tears, and chatting into bullhorns at the protests demanding change.
Homeschool your kids, by the way, if you're not listening.
I mean, what's the kind of change?
I guess the faculty are secretly telling white kids to write the n-word all over the bathrooms.
That's just got to change, right?
Well, this has got to stop.
Well, and then Parkway Central Principal Tim McCarthy sent a note home to parents informing them that a serious incident had taken place.
Racist hate speech was written on bathroom walls in school, he said, and in case they were wondering whether he thought this was a good idea, he added, this act is an affront to the core values of our community.
Well, and the other school superintendent sent his own letter, assuring the parents that there'll be no tolerance for hate speech and students found responsible receive severe disciplinary consequences.
Well, a few days later, it turned out.
Guess what, ladies and gentlemen?
Yes, you already saw it coming.
This is all the work of a black student.
Oh dear.
Well, Parkway School Superintendent Dr. Keith Marty wrote to parents telling them this, but saying he was nevertheless proud of the students who protested and swore at teachers, yes, and yelled through bullhorns demanding change.
He says, for proactively leading walkouts, more work is needed to ensure our school is safe for each student regardless of his race.
So, there you go.
You can never say, no, it was all for naught.
He was proud of the students.
They were flying off the handle.
So, there you go.
Now, another incident, this time in the Brookmont subdivision, 23 miles west of Atlanta.
Residents began receiving threatening letters in the mail.
At least seven families reported getting them.
The letters used the N-word, talked about the KKK, hanging people, killing children, killing whole families, and setting houses on fire.
Sounds very spooky and this is well before Halloween.
The letters were sent in February and March and six months went by without any letters and another note suddenly popped up on September 6th.
Now, this is the significant part.
Police spent months investigating the matter.
Months.
They went door-to-door.
They checked doorbell cameras.
Investigators handed out flyers to residents asking for information.
The case broke when, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, evidence pointed to the home of Teresa Lucas, age 30, an African-American ass.
She has been charged with eight counts of making terroristic threats.
So, we hear all the time about systemic racism.
One of our listeners wrote in to say that we should talk about synthetic racism.
Synthetic racism?
Synthetic racism.
This is a great example of synthetic racism.
But then there is, then there is what appears to be the real thing.
We have been regaling our listeners with yet again a series of hoaxes, but 8.15 in the morning earlier this week, a black woman pushed a woman on the platform of the Times Square Station subway right into the incoming train.
The person was not pushed in front of the tracks.
As for that, we should be grateful.
But she was badly injured in the face and legs.
And then the black woman just sauntered off as if nothing happened.
I know because this was caught on video.
And she just ambled out of the station.
But apparently she was caught.
Antonia Egigbara, age 29, was arrested.
She is mentally enhanced enough to be African.
But, so, and it appears that the victim, it was hard to tell in the video, but she appeared to be perhaps white, perhaps Hispanic.
In any case, she was not melanin enhanced the way Antonia Egegbara was.
That story you mentioned about Atlanta brings up something I think we should mention.
And God, it was 40 years ago, probably 45 years ago that the entire city was gripped
in fear because there were a number of black kids that were missing.
And they tried to claim that the Klan was coming into these black neighborhoods and
it was some sort of white supremacist killing all these black kids.
And one of the ideas was they were extracting melanin from their dead bodies.
This is like the blood libel against the Jews.
Correct.
Use their blood to make matcha balls.
There's a fantastic book called Whoever Fights Monsters, my 20 years tracking serial killers for the FBI.
And Robert Kessler, Robert Ressler goes in and he's sent in to profile to try and find out,
is this really happening?
He deduced immediately, no, this is a black guy doing this.
Because if it was a white guy going into these black neighborhoods, he'd be noticed immediately
by everyone.
And so it's funny that you mentioned that story in Atlanta.
The police probably knew this.
They probably had evidence.
Well, but all these things were sent through the mail.
Exactly.
But they were probably able to do some, they were probably, they were probably ring doorbells.
I mean, things have progressed so much technologically wise.
Think about the story last week that you told about Emory.
They knew the racial hoax.
Oh, yes.
And yet they still ran with it.
Oh yeah.
They still ran with it.
So these are, I don't know if you like the term, but these are basically blood libels against white America and white Americans.
I don't like the term, but anyway.
But now, so Antonia Eghegbara, I guess she's going to do a little bit of time in jail, unlike someone who used to work for Tesla.
Oh my goodness.
Boy, this was really the jackpot.
Tell us about what happened in Tesla.
Well, this is what I'm sure a lot of people out there working for Fortune 500 companies are going to look at and say, hey, this is my blueprint to happiness.
A jury orders Tesla to pay $137 million to a former worker over racist treatment.
So a federal jury in San Francisco has ordered Tesla to pay that exorbitant amount to a black elevator operator who accused the carmaker of ignoring Racial abuse he faced while working at the automaker's factory.
The plaintiff, Owen Diaz, said he worked at the factory in Fremont, California for about a year in 2015 and 2016.
There, he said, a supervisor and other colleagues repeatedly referred to him using racial slurs.
He gave an account of his experience in a 2018 article in New York Times that lamented the lack of melon-enhanced face.
I remember that article.
It was basically saying, hey, there are so few black people working at Tesla, let's interview the elevator operator and find out what's actually going on.
Is there a culture of racial abuse?
Well, that's a job that does have its ups and downs, but it sounds like he ended on a high note.
Somewhere there's a snare drum.
In an interview on Monday morning, Mr. Diaz said he was relieved by the jury's verdict delivered early in the day.
Quote, it took four long years to get to this point.
It's like a big weight has been pulled off my shoulders.
Well, that's not a big weight.
That's a parachute.
That's a golden parachute beyond what most CEOs of companies get when they're rushed off when some major scandal happens.
He said employees had drawn swastikas and scratched a racial epithet in a bathroom stall and left drawings of derogatory caricatures of black children around the factory. Despite repeated
complaints, the company did little to address the behavior," he said. It's not like they were
removing the offensive behavior.
They would just let people keep adding and adding.
end quote.
I find that so incredulous to think that this has actually happened.
I know.
It's hard to believe, but I guess the jury believes it.
I guess there's no cameras anywhere.
This is a company that is meticulous when it comes to all this stuff.
If you've read anything about Elon Musk, he would get mad at some of his managers because people would spend too long in the bathroom.
And one of his, I think it was one of the higher-ups there in the C-suite said, Hey, Elon, people have to take a dump.
I know that's part of the proof, but that's what he said, you know.
People have to go to the bathroom, pal.
I guess he thought that they were drawing derogatory pictures of little picaninnies on the bathroom doors, you know.
I can't have them doing that.
That's definitely going to get you, uh, have to go down the elevator a couple steps there with that one comment.
I quote, uh, so the jury agreed with Mr. Diaz's assertion that Tesla had created a hostile work environment by failing to address the racism he faced.
A vast majority of the award, $130 million, was punitive damages against the company.
The rest, $6.9 million, was for past and future non-economic damages to Mr. Diaz.
I'm sure, as an elevator operator, those are significant.
That's right.
It's a booming industry, I've heard.
How can there be elevator operators?
When's the last time you saw an elevator operator?
Maybe it was a freight elevator.
Does it mean elevator operator for when the car is up and down to be fixed?
I mean, this room is very ambiguous.
I know our jokes are way off on this.
Not my jokes.
I thought mine was pretty good.
It was good.
I was trying to laugh.
Like I said, somewhere out there is a snare drum.
Quote, here's another great quote.
Quote, it's a great thing when one of the richest corporations in America has to have a reckoning of the abhorrent conditions at its factory for black people.
Mr. Diaz's lawyer, Lawrence Organ of the California Civil Rights Law Group said in an interview, Mr. Diaz had reached a breaking point when he witnessed similar racial epithets directed at his son, Demetric.
Demetric.
Okay, that's the Demetric system.
Who secured a job, his first, at the company with Mr. Diaz's help.
You know, that says a lot about such a racial company that they would hire his son for his first job, Demetric.
You know?
It's horribly racist.
Oh boy.
They talk about the ghetto lottery.
I guess he hit the corporate lottery.
Yeah.
In a message to Tesla staff members posted on the company's website, a human resources executive noted that Mr. Diaz was a contractor, not a Tesla employee, and played down the allegations in the lawsuit.
Quote, in addition to Mr. Diaz, three other witnesses, all non-Tesla contract employees, testified at trial that they had regularly heard racial slurs, including the N-word on the Fremont factory floor, while they all agreed that the use of the n-word was not
appropriate in the workplace, they also agreed that most of the time they thought the
language was used in a friendly manner and usually by African American colleagues."
End quote.
Oh dear, oh dear.
So two of the contractors that Mr. Diaz complained about were fired, and another suspending occurred.
Tesla did not believe the facts justified the final verdict, she wrote, but acknowledges the company was not perfect in 2015 and 2016.
Well, see, that's just it.
You have a few black employees flinging this word around, and that makes the entire factory a hostile workplace, I suppose.
I mean, a white man just can't get it right, can he?
Nope, nope.
I mean, again, but hey, again, the richest man in the world is an African-American named Elon Musk.
I thought Jeff Bezos was the richest man.
Oh no, Elon Musk has surpassed him.
Elon Musk has pulled ahead?
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Well, here's just a little item.
The Capitol Police, the Capitol Police, its annual budget To guard the Capitol.
Okay.
That's all it does.
It's $460 million and it has 2,300 officers and civilian employees.
It's a small army.
Now, just by comparison, the entire city of Minneapolis, population of 420,000, Well, let me have you guess.
It's $460 million just for the Capitol Police.
Just to protect that little tiny piece of land.
It's the most important land.
It's the citadel of democracy.
Get it right.
Don't you remember what happened on January 6th?
It's the palace of democracy.
Palace of Democracy, where all are elected royalty.
It's the Cauldron of Enlightenment.
Wait a second.
No more Harry Potter.
Okay.
But yes, remember, they spend $460 million a year.
Minneapolis spends $193 million a year on its police.
How many police do they have?
800 sworn officers in Minneapolis.
So they are, oh my goodness, so 2,000.
My gosh!
Incredible, isn't it?
Just a little factoid for our listeners to muse upon as they think about just how valuable the lives of our rooters are.
Yep, amazing.
Now, this is a story that had been kicked back a couple of times because we ran out of time, but this is an important one.
And this was research done by Wolford Riley.
He is a black gentleman, a very, very light-skinned black gentleman, with whom I had a debate at Eastern Kentucky University.
Not a stupid guy, and he's been studying something, and this is the whole question of real racial discrimination in the workforce.
And he wrote an article in which he observed that black men now earn 83% of the white wage.
And if you adjust for black-white differences in geographic location, schooling, and age, that means they earn 87.7% of the white wage.
If you then add in differences in standardized test scores, the ratio rises to 95.5%.
And adding in differences in years of work experiences raises the ratio to 99.1%.
So, equally qualified blacks and whites get pretty doggone close the same salary.
However, now you've heard of this over and over and over again, people will cook up resumes that are identical, except that one has a black-sounding name like Lakeisha or Jamal.
Dimetric.
Dimetric, that's another one.
Dimetric is a black-sounding name.
Dimetric is a pretty black-sounding name.
And those go to employers, and apparently the black-sounding names receive only two-thirds as many callbacks.
There have been 72 studies of this kind conducted since 2010.
Oh, the libs can't get enough of it.
And prominent published examples find discrimination affects of at least seven to nine percent.
That doesn't seem like all that awful to me.
And most of them are looking at virtually the same sector of the job market.
These would be entry-level private sector jobs in places like car parks or fast food restaurants.
Now, concentrating studies here could well be one reason for this consistent discovery of anti-POC bias.
What if they tried this trick on colleges and universities?
Or public sector employers?
I think that's a very good point.
Also, there has never been any study to date focusing specifically on auditing the approximately 18% of businesses owned by racial minorities.
Because it would be fascinating to see if pro-minority hiring preferences are there, and if so, to what extent.
Because recent empirical work has found that preferences for hiring members of the same ethnic group is ubiquitous among immigrants.
The rate of same-group hiring is often, and even if you're looking for fairly small groups, if you're a Bhutanese and you're running a Bhutanese boutique, you can manage to find other Bhutanese and average 22.5% and range as high as 40% of same-ethnic hiring.
The other thing, the other thing that Wilford Riley points out,
I think this is really worth pointing out, is that the black names that are associated with blackness,
Quanisha and Lashonda and Demetric, all of these are not associated only with black,
but with lower income and lower levels of parental education.
Interesting.
Interesting point.
The other point this guy raises, and I think this is really quite interesting,
ordinarily when they have white sounding names, it would be Andrew or Robert or, and he
says, what if the white sounding names were Billy Bob or Chevy
Or Brandy?
Another good point.
How would Billy Bob, applying for a job in New York City or Chicago, or Earlene, how well would they do?
How about a boy named Sue?
Well, good question.
Good question.
No, I think these are all excellent points.
Wilford Riley does great work.
I know you won't want to hear, I think in one of his books he actually took you to task a number of times, unfairly I might add.
Well, but he's doing great work.
He's doing great work on phony hate crimes, for example.
Exactly.
I think he has tumbled to the extent to which we, in fact, are justified in being hopping mad.
I think that's what it boils down to.
White people are really getting the short end, and he says, look, if the white people really get riled up, Things could change.
We've got to find a way to nuzzle there or to unleash this somehow.
Not unleash it.
Further stuff.
Yes.
Now, here's a story from Britain.
We're going to leap the Atlantic and come to Earth in Greenwich near London.
There you will find the National Maritime Museum.
Visitors are invited to explore at the National Maritime Museum the troubled history of the Atlantic Ocean in one of the galleries.
Did you know that it had a troubled history?
I've got a couple guesses as to why that might be, but I'll let you elaborate.
I think you can probably guess.
It's the slave trade.
Yeah?
That gives the Atlantic Ocean a troubled history.
So it features exhibits detailing the development of the slave trade, slave revolts, And abolition figures such as Ignatius Sancho and Oluda Equiano, of whom I had never heard.
Never heard those names, but I'm sure that's... Apparently, these people are right up there with Abraham Lincoln in Freeing the Slaves.
It also tells us about Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Toussaint Louverture, the Haitian revolutionaries who presided over the slaughter of the whites.
These are all covered.
Now, As we muse on the troubled history of the Atlantic Ocean, we run across a sign that says that this gallery, established in 2007, is not up to snuff.
According to the National Maritime Museum, it no longer represents the approaches or ambitions of the organization.
And so there is a display critical of this gallery that went up in 2020.
After the Royal Museum decided to take action to combat inequality following the Black Lives Matter protests.
That reached all the way.
Isn't that remarkable?
George Floyd, his influence has reached all the way to the National Maritime Museum.
So a display panel now explains the local Greenwich area was influenced by slavery.
And it says, the building around us of glass and steel are often records of the profits of the transatlantic slave trade.
The buildings around you.
So the National Maritime Museum is really now the National White Gilt Museum.
Look around you.
Even if a building is made of glass and steel, it is a record of the profits of the transatlantic slave trade.
Give it up, Whitey.
Just give it up.
One's head spins.
Absolutely spins.
Well, you know, we're running out of time.
We have so many great stories, but I'm going to end on one little note here.
Diversity notes.
According to Houston Police, Mr. Modavi was spotted by officers doing donuts.
He was in a white Infiniti G37, sounds like a pretty swanky car to me, in a parking lot.
They tried to stop him.
Modawi then took off before losing control and crashing into three young men who were working as valet drivers in a local sports bar and killed all three.
The Infiniti then flipped and hit something.
The driver and his male passenger each sustained a broken leg.
So, Ahmed Tayeb el-Numan Modawi and his accompaniment were taken to the hospital and the mother of the injured passenger said in Arabic, he's had three surgeries already.
Now, that gives us some hint as to where Ahmad al-Tayyeb el-Numan Modawi is from.
Now, the only reason I bring this up is when he goes into the statistics, guess how he'll be categorized?
White!
Of course!
If you speak Arabic, if you speak Arabic, you are white.
That's the way the world works in this wonderful year 2021.
Before we sign off, I'd like to wish everybody out there this upcoming Monday a happy Columbus Day.
Never apologize and never fear celebrating our history.
And be sure to write to us at amrin.com, at the Contact Us tab, and also at BecauseWeLiveHere at PlotonMail.com.
That'll go straight to Mr. Kersey.
The other one will come straight to me.
