Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
Today is December 29th.
The year is drawing to a close.
The year, namely, 2021.
With me, of course, is my indispensable co-host, Mr. Paul Kersey.
Always glad to have you with me.
And last time, we started by confessing that we had had very few listener comments.
In fact, we had none at all with which to share with you.
So, we seem to have gotten quite a cornucopia of them this time.
And I would like to start with a listener who is reacting to something that Mr. Kersey and I said about Netflix.
And he says as follows, Mr. Taylor complained that anything Netflix touches turns to diversity.
Even such a classic novel as Anne of Green Gables.
That's entirely true.
It's set in Prince Edward Island in Canada about a hundred years ago.
Now the modern version is peopled with blacks and Indians and who knows what all.
The commenter goes on to say, the only good movies on Netflix are documentaries.
However, Netflix has another service that's very good.
If you have a specific list of movies you want to see, chances are very good that you'll find them on Netflix, but not the streaming service, but the DVDs.
These movies are on DVDs and you get them through postal mail, he says.
Well, I've had that service for some years now.
There's quite a lot of variety on it.
Better than in the streaming business.
He also says, Mr. Kersey is right to say that Tubby TV, is that how it's pronounced, Mr. Kersey?
T-U-B-I-T-V?
Tubby TV is pretty good, but I found an even better streaming service.
It is the Criterion Channel, unlike Tubby TV, not free, but only $100 a year.
Critically acclaimed films from all over the world, old Hollywood classics, Western film noir, Swedish cinema, Italian neorealism, French and Czechoslovak, Japanese cinema, great stuff.
And he then goes on to say he also recommends a YouTube channel called Yesterday Today Tribute.
It has old photographs that show what this country used to look like before diversity, and another YouTube channel called Nick Johnson.
The YouTube channel Nick Johnson shows what the country looks like today.
Apparently it's very sad.
Mr. Kersey, have you heard of any of these services?
I have heard of Criterion Collection, which is fantastic.
I don't know if Turner Classic Movies is streaming yet, but I do think at some point if you can, you know, Ted Turner did a great job back in the 80s, started buying up the rights to a lot of the great movies ever made, black and white films, and I know a lot of people used to castigate TCM because it basically only showed white people in these just classic movies.
And if that's a streaming service, I would I would check it out.
Yeah.
Criterion Collection.
Those are always just fantastic movies.
OK, very good.
And then yet another another listener sends in a quotation from a book.
I thought this was just hilarious.
The book is called Churchill Walking with Destiny.
So it's an admiring biography of Winston Churchill by a fellow named Andrew Roberts.
And on pages 39 to 40, it says this, which I will read verbatim.
Today, of course, we know imperialism and colonialism to be evil and exploitative concepts.
But Churchill's firsthand experience of British rule did not strike him that way.
This is British rule in India.
He admired the way the British had brought internal peace for the first time in Indian history, as well as railways, vast irrigation projects, mass education, newspapers, the possibilities for extensive international trade, standardized units of exchange, bridges, roads, aqueducts, docks, universities, an uncorrupt legal system, medical advances, anti-famine coordination, the English language as the first national lingua franca, Telegraphic communications and military protection from the Russian, French, Afghan, Afridi, and other outside threats, while also abolishing sati, the practice of burning widows on their husband's funeral pyres, thagi, the ritualized murder of travelers, and other abuses.
For Churchill, this was not the sinister and paternalist oppression that we now know it to have been.
What do you think of that?
I have a feeling that this guy, this guy may be writing ironically, or do you think he's sincere?
I mean, I don't know anything else about this fellow.
He's a sparingly conventional historian, but have listed this enormous list of contributions that the British made to a rather primitive subcontinent and then said, well, of course, now we know imperialism and colonialism are evil and exploitive.
I just thought this was quite hilarious.
And I thank our listener who sent this remarkable passage into us.
You know, Mr. Taylor, there's a fantastic book.
I guess I'm using that word because I sound like Trump.
There's a great book written about the thuggy cult and how it was by a British officer.
I don't recall the title right now.
Maybe one of our astute and highly intelligent listeners will recall it for me.
But it's about what the British did to subdue the thuggy cult.
And it was it's a fast.
It's an amazing story.
It's an amazing story.
Yes, it is an extraordinary thing.
My recollection is, now maybe I'm, oh I'm confusing this with the assassins.
Those were a Middle Eastern bunch.
They got high on hashish and the word, they were the hashishim, the assassins.
But the thuggies, were they not drugged up too?
I don't remember.
I don't believe they were actually, at all.
So they were just cold, cold sober killers.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Now here's another comment.
Dear Messrs.
Taylor and Kersey, In all the dissident sphere, you stand out with the best writers, editors, speakers, website design, podcast.
Wow, that's high praise.
I especially want to thank everyone at AmRan for making it a priority to edify me as a white person.
I think the real difference between AmRan and some others is you guys are pro-white, while the rest are anti-non-white.
I have a question, he says.
Well, after all those compliments, how can we not take this question on the air?
But it's not an easy question.
He says, what is the quintessential white religion?
Now, I will have a go at my notion of how to answer this, and you can then follow up with the corrections, additions, subtractions, and multiplications.
I think that the quintessential white religion, the essentially white religion, is probably paganism.
Odinism, that is a religion that is still practiced by people today that was clearly cooked up by, well cooked up, I hate that, that's a disrespectful term that has its deep roots in Norse culture.
It is certainly a distinctly white religion.
I think it is also possible to say that Christianity is quintessentially white insofar as there was a time when it was perfectly correct for Hilary Bellick to say, Europe is the faith and the faith is Europe.
And Christianity has, of course, shaped our culture, our forms of art, our music, our architecture in innumerable ways.
And so I would say that those are two.
One is biologically, one is certainly biologically white.
The other is culturally white to a remarkable degree.
And I would not wish to turn my back on either.
How would you answer his question?
You know, I think you answered that second part about Christianity and that fantastic quote from Belloq.
There I go again using the Trump word.
I've watched too many Trump speeches recently.
I think that's a great answer.
I think that it was brilliantly analyzed, that question, in a volume that the New Century Foundation has available.
I'm referring to Sam Francis's book on race.
Forgive me, the title is slipping my mind right now.
That's Essential Writings on Race.
Essential Writings on Race.
Yeah, it's a collection of his writings that he did for the New Century Foundation.
I believe you may have gotten a couple of the syndicated columns as well, but he wrote under a non-diplom, while he was still living, a piece for American Renaissance, and I think it's just a brilliant piece.
You probably recall the one I'm talking about.
Well, do you remember the name of that?
It was something about the heritage or the intellectual roots of the West, was it not?
I want to say it might have been as simply as The Roots of the White Man.
That might have been the title of the essay.
And it's just that alone, Mr. Taylor and listeners, if you have not got this yet, that alone makes this collection of essays worth the price of admission.
That piece is just utterly brilliant.
Yeah, I think it's a great collection also.
Again, it's called Essential Writings on Race by Samuel Francis, and it's available for sale at the AMRAN website.
And finally, yet another comment.
This fellow says, keep blasting the corporations, acknowledging the crime stories we never hear anywhere else, despite them happening all around us, and for calling out all the traitors in academia.
He goes on to say, I especially liked your commentary on Soros-funded district attorneys.
I am also interested in ideas like the Greater Idaho Initiative.
Yes, those Soros-funded district attorneys, we almost never go by without taking a slap at them and boy, do they deserve it.
As far as the Greater Idaho Initiative, that is, of course, this initiative to take parts of Washington State and Oregon and attach them to Idaho so
that Idaho would have a coastline and would be an Expanded state and this can be done
With the approval simply at the state legislature level and need not even get Congress involved
It's making a certain amount of headway.
I always approve whenever they put any kind of initiative on local ballots.
And who knows?
Someday this might happen.
It would take the conservative parts of Washington and Oregon and break them away from their ultra liberal urban areas and attach them to much more conservative Idaho, state of Idaho.
I think it's a great idea too.
It's funny, Mr. Taylor, there's a big phenomenon happening right now.
We're seeing Californians and New Yorkers leave those states in record numbers.
Also in Illinois, blacks are leaving Chicago at shocking numbers, heading largely down to Georgia, to Atlanta.
And the Californians are primarily relocating either to Austin, Texas, and there's a really good article today about how Nashville, Tennessee is a city that we're seeing massive influxes of people escaping the Consequences of the policies and the politics and the Democratic Party they continue to elect.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the next couple decades we see even secession movements.
If Texas goes blue at some point, we know how close they are with demographics shifting.
And then even in Tennessee, even in places like Georgia, to see a push to join Alabama or to join South Carolina or to join Florida.
I mean, that's the future.
That's just the future.
Well, as a descendant from revolutionaries, the 1776 generation, as well as secessionists on both sides of my family, I always applaud secession.
I always applaud local autonomy.
I don't care who's doing it and for what reason, I'm all for it.
So I hope it happens hither and thither and yon, the sooner the better and the more often the better.
But in any case, thank you very much for those comments and observations.
Once again, the way to reach us is at amren.com, A-M-R-E-N dot com, at the Contact Us tab, or... You can send me an email, and I appreciate each and every one that I get.
BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHere at ProtonMail.com.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you have a report of just the kind of thing that the last commenter was approving, the local crime stories.
I believe we are setting records in Jackson, Mississippi, in such cities as Philly, and others all around the country.
Do give us a wrap-up, if you would.
We've got a big wrap-up, but just to give you a quick 40,000-foot overview, Gannett Which owns USA Today, they own a lot of the major city newspapers across the country, Mr. Taylor, and they have pretty much all their stories now behind paywalls.
So in cities like Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Chicago, a lot of the big cities, you can't access the stories where they're breaking down just how violent, how many shootings, how many non-fatal shootings, how many homicides.
I mean, 2021 will go down as just an ultra violent year.
And there was an article at CNN About Jackson, Mississippi.
Now, for those astute listeners, you probably recall that Greg Hood wrote a great article called The Great Replacement.
I believe it was about Jackson, Mississippi.
Actually, it might have been Robert Hampton.
But AR published a great article about the shocking demographic changes that have taken place in what is now about an 82% black city.
That's the capital city of Mississippi, Mr. Taylor.
And this article, this article's title is We've seen lifelong friends kill each other. How a state
capital became one of the deadliest U.S. cities.
So, exactly. This was published yesterday. I saw it on Drudge.
I've been reading a lot about Jackson, Mississippi this year because it's just one of
these cities that has a homicide rate of 15 times higher than the U.S.
7.6 murders per 100,000 residents, 15 times higher than the US rate of 6.5.
Think about that for a second.
I mean, 97.6 murders per 100,000 residents.
Probably six months ago in one of the podcasts, we broke down the most violent cities in the world.
And I believe Baltimore and St.
Louis were in the top 10.
But we spoke, if you broke out the white population from that and just had the black population, how high would it actually be?
Well, here we have a city that is almost 8.5 of, I'm sorry, almost 8 of 10 residents are black, or 8 of 10 residents are black.
So it's just astonishing.
So in the state's most populous city, it's a former Confederate stronghold that would later give way to what CNN describes as thriving black business district and serve as a hub for the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
Residents are now grappling with, they're now grappling with Just this with a gun violence epidemic that spiked at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and shows no signs of abating.
Now, again, they leave out a lot of the George Floyd stuff, but they at least admit that this all started Right around March of 2020, this is a quote from the black nationalist mayor, Chokwe Lumbombe.
His dad was a legitimate black separatist who died while he was in office.
He told CNN this, quote, we see lifelong friends kill each other.
We have seen a son kill his mother and sister, have seen crimes that are based on social Social and an inability of people to be engaged in institutions in which they thrive.
The rising gun violence has further exposed the city's deep-rooted social and political problems, none with an easy or tidy solution.
Of course, if you're white and used to live in Jackson, the solution was white flight.
Go find a new community to live in.
Everyone working against this wave, from the city's civic law enforcement, faith and street outreach communities, is competing not just with spiraling violence, With a pandemic that laid bare all the cities and equities when it became even more, ever more difficult to address them.
Now, Mr. Taylor, you probably recall last week we talked about how, what was it?
Underserved communities were the ones that had the most increase in violence.
Yes, someone went to the bother of trying to come up with a definition for underserved and discover that these underserved communities had a lot of violence.
It would have been much easier just to go to the demographics.
They would have found exactly the same results without having to bother with this funny little definition for underserved.
But yes, I remember very well.
Yeah, and so this is, call that the macro look.
This is the micro look.
We're going to look at a couple cities.
There have already been 150 homicides this year in Jackson, Mississippi through December 21st, according to police, nearly all of them shootings.
And as I stated, 97.6 murders per 100,000 residents.
You know, I think there's only about 130,000 people in Jackson, that number dropping every year.
When you get up to 80, oh, go ahead.
I guess if they keep knocking each other off, the number will drop, yes.
Yeah, when you get up to 80 per 100,000 in a city with more than 100,000 people you're dealing with A vanishingly small number of places with homicide rates that high.
That's according to Richard Rosenfeld, who's a criminologist at the University of Missouri-St.
Louis.
He's quoted a lot in these stories, by the way.
This is one of his busiest times of year because, you know, the corporate media, the regime media, journalists, they want to try and find someone who can just say, hey, how can we try and explain away this without just saying it's just blacks?
It's just, you know, it's just black shooting one another.
You know, let's try and make this sound okay.
Well, he said this.
To put the numbers into perspective, in 2020 St.
Louis, which was the country's deadliest large city, it cataloged 87 homicides per 100,000.
And that was clearly at the top of the list of larger cities, Rosenfeld said.
Quote, Jackson is now exceeding that level, end quote.
And again, Mr. Taylor, if we actually had real journalists in this country, we would break out the racial population and we would do the math to show if there are, you know, what is the rate per 100,000 for, say, blacks in Chicago or blacks in Atlanta or blacks in Jackson?
Because remember, 18% of Jackson is not African-American.
So if you were to take that population out, what would the actual homicide rate be?
It couldn't increase that much because you're removing only 18% of the population.
We're talking about essentially an all-black city.
But yes, the real quick and easy shorthand is just to count the number of blacks.
That may seem like a horrible thing to say, but that's really the quickest way to get at this information.
Yeah, one of the things that they do point out is more than two-thirds of the country's most populous cities have seen more homicides in 2021 than last year, which is a continuation of the troubling increase in homicides that began at the onset of the pandemic in 2020, according to a CNN analysis of over 40 major cities.
I would argue that you probably don't want to start when the pandemic started.
I guess that was in March of 2020 when the NBA cancelled their season and then the NCAA tournament was cancelled and then the sports, all the leagues started cancelling and people went into lockdown.
I think you have to look at Memorial Day 2020, Mr. Taylor.
That was when the George Floyd stuff happened.
That's when cops basically were told to stand down.
And that's when things really got out of hand.
Yes, well, they don't dare say that, so they get to pin it on COVID.
But I believe you have some numbers on Philadelphia as well, if you have gone deeply enough into Jackson.
Almost wrapped up Jackson.
So the city's population shrank from almost 200,000 in 1990 to about 160,000 in 2020.
Its decline in population in those three decades was driven almost entirely by white flight.
The city was 56% black in 1990.
By 2020, 82% of the residents were black.
Now, if you read that great piece at American Renaissance about the Great Replacement, the Jackson Mississippi edition, you know that in 1950, the city was about 60% white.
So white flight's been going on for a long time.
Philadelphia!
Let's go to the city of brotherly love.
It's going to end with an all-time record number of homicides.
As of Tuesday night, that would have been December 28th, the total now stands at 555.
555. According to the news data journalism team, the latest homicides and at least two
others overnight, that would have been two nights ago, earned Philadelphia the dubious
distinction of recording its highest homicide number in a year based on police data going
back to 19- Now, Mr. Taylor, think about how bad the early 1990s were.
The crack epidemic.
Philadelphia was one of those main cities.
In 2021, they shattered these records.
Just shatter these records.
I mean, these are 555 lives lost.
And we're, you know, we're told by every major corporation in America that Black Lives Matter, by every university and college, Black Lives Matter.
You can go to Washington, D.C.
and you can see the Black Lives Matter.
It's written on the street there.
You can look at, there's Black Lives Matter flags and there's Black Lives Matter,
hanging things from the buildings.
And yet here we are in the city, and one of our biggest cities, and 555 homicides.
And we'll actually get to the racial numbers, the breakdown here in a second.
It's just astonishing when you think that, that's just a lot of murder.
Yes, it is.
It's a lot of bodies.
You can't just continue to say this is due to the lockdown.
This is due to COVID.
No, it's due to George Floyd.
And as you've pointed out, it was the police officer who is the real instigator of all this.
Doesn't he face civil rights trial now in 2022?
Well, yes, I think he's facing federal charges now.
Yeah, Derek Chauvin's facing federal charges.
And then we've got some very sad quotes from members of Ceasefire Pennsylvania who, you know, they're trying to be these violence interrupters.
And I hate to say, I mean, what exactly are they doing?
Based on what happened in 2021 Philadelphia, if they're getting any tax funding, They need to go ahead and give that back.
We move on to this next story, which this is one I didn't even see a couple weeks ago, but it was published on December 15th.
And the headline was Mr. Taylor State Senator Sharif Street's office.
I'm sorry, State Senator Sharif Street's office, Philadelphia NAACP, struck by bullets in a Philadelphia shooting that left man in critical condition.
So, Pennsylvania State Senator's office and the office of the Philadelphia NAACP were struck by gunfire in a shooting in the city's Nicetown neighborhood Monday night.
Police said the shooting left a 25-year-old fighting for his life after being hit multiple times throughout the body at about 1130 p.m.
Bullet holes surround a This is one of those stories, ladies and gentlemen, that there are so many incidentally funny things.
If I start laughing, it's not because people are being shot and dying, but I'm just... The journalists who wrote this just slipped in a couple things that are going to be like, wow, this is an insane world we live in.
Here's one of them.
Bullet holes surround a don't shoot sign at the Nice Town NAACP office.
Don't shoot?
A don't shoot sign?
Do you have those up in your neighborhood?
No, I don't.
As you one time put it on, never mind, I was going to quote Phil Donahue back in 2003, but anyways, yeah, bullet holes surrounding Don't Shoot Sign at the Nice Town NAACP office.
Not exactly a nice town, huh?
When I walked up, I saw multiple bullet holes in the reinforced glass.
This is glass strong enough that if you were to punch it, you might hurt your hand as opposed to breaking the glass.
And these bullet holes ripped right through it, Street said.
That's the state senator.
Staffers believe the bullets were from a high-impact weapon due to shell casings found inside the office.
The office was closed as well as the Annabelle ACP office when police say a 25-year-old male shooting victim was found in the Germantown Avenue area with several gunshots.
Shell casings littered the crime scene.
But he was only shot twice.
So not the greatest shooting as we find in a lot of these incidents.
The shooter is still at large here?
Shooter is still at large.
Philadelphia has one of the lowest clearance rates for both fatal and non-fatal shootings in the country.
So yeah, the shooter is still at large.
We'll actually get to the number here in one second of just how many people have been shot.
Members of the Philadelphia NAACP are also shaken by the remnants of bullets in their office.
They say it stirs them to do more to stop the city's crime wave.
Philadelphia NAACP President Catherine Hicks said that she's disappointed by the incident but grateful that no one was in the office at the time.
She adds the NAACP is a safe haven for people to get help.
They should not have to worry about being shot while getting there.
At a press conference at the same NAACP office, city and local leaders shared their frustration and anger about the scourge of gun violence in Philly affecting mostly the city's poor black communities, which of course we know because mostly the people pulling the trigger of these individual guns are collectively black people.
Quote, we are tired out of the same things happening.
We are asking for help, but we're also letting you know that we're here in solidarity.
We're not going to stop doing what we do.
The NAACP is here to help.
That's what the president said, Hicks.
As of December 9th, nearly 2,200 Philadelphians have been shot.
84% of them were classified as African American, and the city's record high in counting homicides of those, the majority died of gunshot wounds.
Oh, boy.
No, the gunfire never seems to stop.
We're probably going for a new record in 2021.
New record, not just in numbers, but of course, in maybe another record increase rate.
2020, it was said that the murder rate in the major U.S.
cities was up 30%.
I hope we will not equal that number, but we will certainly, at least in numbers, go past that.
Portland, of course, is one of the craziest cities of all in this respect.
There is a great article in the Daily Mail by Andy Ngo.
How do you pronounce his name?
N-G-O.
Is it Ngo or Nyo?
I think it's Nyo.
We'll just call him Andy.
That's easier.
Andy, yes.
He's really been an excellent journalist out there covering Antifa's antics, and he's written a great article for the Daily Mail.
Portland may be the worst among all the cities.
It turned its streets over to Black Lives Matter Antifa rioters in 2020 and allowed the far left to dictate public policy.
Of course, elected officials in what's known as the City of Roses condemned the police, defunded law enforcement, and coddled violent criminals in the name of anti-fascism and anti-racism.
Now it's dealing with yet another year of surging murders, shootings, riots, homeless encampments, mass looting, and violent criminality.
He goes on to write that in early December, the Portland Police Bureau announced that it would be responding only to the most serious 9-11 calls involving life or death scenarios.
They're too busy and too underfunded otherwise.
When Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on November 19th, and justifiably so, I don't remember seeing this in the news, but Antifa rioters gathered to try to burn down the county jail in revenge.
And Andy goes on to write, significant resources have been diverted to address this riot.
Well, I'm sorry, this was an announcement from, again, announcement from the police department that resources had been diverted to address this riot and it's affecting response times.
While we have officers assigned to address emergencies citywide, lower priority calls will have to wait, said the city.
Now, as a matter of fact, this year it takes 60% longer in 2021 to get a high-priority life-or-death emergency call answered than it did in 2020, 60% longer.
And lower priority 9-11 calls can take hours and often the police never show up.
Of course, during 2020, the far-left rioters torched buildings, carried out mass lootings, and the city rewarded them by defunding the police to the tune of 27 million.
And they abolished something called the gun violence reduction team.
Of course, they had to do that because certain people are being targeted because they had the guns and they were the city's pets and not to be not to be bothered.
Portland now has the highest percentage increase of homicides anywhere in the US for two years in a row.
From 2019 to 2020.
The US, on average, recorded a 30% increase in homicides.
In Portland, from 2019 to 2020, it was up 83%.
And in 2021, Portland surpassed its all-time record of murders with more than a 50% increase.
In other words, an 83% increase is followed by a 50% increase.
The fact is, homicides used to be a pretty rare thing in Portland.
In 2016, there were only 20.
an 83% increase is followed by a 50% increase. The fact is, homicides used to be a pretty rare thing
in Portland. In 2016, there were only 20, only 20. But they were up every year and now 2021 so far is 87%.
That's an increase of 435% and other crime has increased in proportion.
While all this is going on, the number of sworn officers in the Portland Police Department is at its lowest since the 1980s.
And in exit interviews released to local journalists, officers who resigned often cited the county district attorney, Mike Schmidt.
He's one of those super liberal, super progressive types that loves to decriminalize practically every riot related offense over 90%.
Of those arrested in the riots in 2020 in Portland for crimes ranging from arson to assault had their cases dropped in return for a little community service or something like that.
No record, no nothing.
Imagine, Mr. Kersey, if that had happened to the people who were rioting on January 6th on the Capitol grounds.
No, you could not have a more startling contrast to the way crime has been handled.
And now, apparently, even loony liberals If they see the place going completely out of control, even they tried reverse course.
Last month, the City Council voted to give back $5.2 million in police funding from the $27 million it cut last year.
That's a start, boys!
And the gun violence reduction team that was abolished has been resurrected under a new name.
I guess they think changing the name will make people love them.
It's now called the Focused Intervention Team, But it isn't operating.
You know why?
Because they can't get any officers to join.
I wonder why.
Mayor Wheeler.
Good old Mayor Wheeler.
He's white, of course, and just liberal as the day is long.
Now says he wants at least 300 new officers.
He's proposing rehiring retired officers, and he is offering $25,000 signing bonuses.
$25,000 signing bonuses. $25,000. Now the city, according to the last sentence, is still
$25,000.
70% white, 10% Hispanic, 8% Asian, and only 6% black.
It just goes to show you how loony white people can wreck what used to be a wonderful city.
Well, and one of the factors and one of the components of that story, Mr. Taylor, that you left out is who actually is committing the violence.
And there have been some extraordinary articles published about how that 6% black population in Portland is responsible for, I want to say, 70 to 75% of the homicides this year and last year.
That sounds about right.
Yes.
Yes.
Goofy.
Yeah.
These goofy, loopy, liberal whites at least don't go around shooting each other.
They just look the other way when black people do.
And blame white people for it.
Yes, yes.
But moving on to something other than crime.
We can't get too hung up on crime, although crime is important.
The U.S.
Treasury Department announced just last week the release of $8.7 billion to help increase lending to small, minority-owned businesses.
These funds are from the Emergency Capital Investment Program, which was established last year, and this money will go to 186 community-based financial institutions.
Janet Yellen, good old Janet Yellen, she recently met the owner of a tea company in Atlanta called Just Add Honey, and apparently the people running this company lacked the financial credit to keep all the shops open during the pandemic.
And Janet Yellen said, here, it's very easy to connect the policy with the personnel.
What this will do is prevent small business owners of color from closing two of their locations.
And better yet, it will help people open two more.
Fancy that?
Now Kamala Harris, the least popular vice president in recent American history, says black entrepreneurs are three times more likely to report that a lack of access to capital negatively affects their profit margins.
So, All of this money is going primarily to non-white small business owners.
My question is, is this legal?
I suppose, I guess anything's legal these days if you're Joe Biden running the country and the media are on your side.
But the fact is, as I'm sure you know, Mr. Kersey, banks want to make loans to people who will repay.
And they don't care what race you are.
If they think that you've got a good idea how to use this money and can repay, they will lend to you.
If non-whites aren't getting loans, it's probably because they're not creditworthy.
But that's, of course, not the view of our administration.
It's like, oh, the idea that I suppose white people won't do business with blacks just because they're blacks, whether or not they'll make a profit or not.
I guess white people own shoe stores, won't sell shoes to blacks.
Well, of course they'll sell.
They'll sell if they think they'll make money.
But that is the thinking of our U.S.
Treasury Department, Janet Yellen and her good buddy, Kamala Harris.
Well, recall earlier this year, Mr. Taylor, there was some news that there were going to be loans for just black farmers.
And then I believe there was a suit against the federal government, against the Biden administration over that.
So it was stopped.
It required a suit.
It required a suit.
Now, maybe there'll be a suit to stop this.
This just seems blatantly, blatantly racially discriminatory.
But there you go.
Now, the question, of course, is non-white.
So they can include Asians in these things, or they're always an ambiguous category.
In any case, here's a similar discrimination story.
In Minnesota, the state health department has adopted new ethical standards, as they call them.
That includes considering race in determining who can receive a potentially life-saving treatment for COVID-19.
It is the allocation of monoclonal antibodies, which apparently are in high demand and short supply after they have shown to be effective in helping prevent COVID-19 from getting severe.
And the Health Department noted that race and ethnicity alone Apart from other underlying health considerations may be considered in determining eligibility for these therapies.
The state is going to use a scoring system to rank people in priority in terms of whether they should get monoclonal antibodies and being non-white is worth two points in a system just like being 65 or older or having cardiovascular disease.
Again, I wonder if Asians are considered non-white here.
Anyway, Mr. Kersey, I want to talk about Kwanzaa, but I believe they are celebrating Kwanzaa in an unusual way in Durham, North Carolina.
You know, I didn't mean for the theme of a lot of the stories that I had to be about crime, but I thought that with it being the end of the year here, and I do want to wish all of our listeners across the world and here in the United States a happy and blessed New Year, I hope 2022 is just a wonderful year for everyone listening.
And as Mr. Taylor would agree with, we appreciate each and every one of you.
But this story is about Kwanzaa, and it's a Durham, North Carolina group uses Kwanzaa to focus on stopping violence within the city.
So, you know, Have a white Christmas?
Have a black Kwanzaa!
So at the corner of West Pierce Street in downtown Durham is the site of the historic Black Wall Street.
On Monday, it was also a backdrop to a small gathering that wasn't a typical Kwanzaa celebration.
Quote, this is the second day of Kwanzaa.
Kujichagulia, which means self-determination.
Hope I pronounced that correctly.
The reality is many of these mothers that are crying are black mothers.
Many of the children that are dying are black babies.
So we have to come up with our own self-determination, explained Minister Paul Scott.
He is the founder of the Black Messiah Movement in Durham, North Carolina.
Quote, I'm sorry.
The goal Monday for the group was to have open conversations, pinpoint problems, and come up with answers to gun violence within the city.
Quote, we definitely have to put the village together.
We have to get the community back together.
Like the elders say back in the day, one child belonged to the whole community.
Scott said.
Recent data from the Durham Police shows that from 2020 and 2021, they both outpaced 2019 when it comes to the number of gunshot wounds.
There were more than 40 homicides in 2020 as of December 17th.
Durham's a small southern city, nothing that big.
Police said while only 37% of Durham's population is black as of November, 89% of the people who have been shot this year are black.
And while you were gone, Mr. Taylor, there was actually a story that I discussed about this police report, and it showed that I think 94% of the suspects that had been arrested were black.
So blacks were actually 89% of the victims, but 94% of the shooters.
So just uh... Yes, that's right, because a lot of these black shooters, well a certain number
of these black shooters are shooting people who are not black.
That almost never gets factored in.
We hear about all the blacks who are victims, almost never do we get statistics on arrests or suspects or perps.
But yes, I think Kwanzaa is a completely goofy holiday, but if they're going to celebrate it, this is a very good way to celebrate it.
Try to stop black people from shooting each other.
Now, to me, conspicuously absent in that story, and also in the stories you're telling us about Philadelphia, is any word about racism or white supremacy.
And I salute these black people who seem to realize that wasn't one of the headlines and one of the stories you said that good friends are shooting each other, people are shooting their family members.
Nobody is at least overtly saying, and the problem is white people, the problem is systemic this and institutionalized that.
It seems to be dawning on this people who really do care about black lives that the problem is black criminals.
That's 100% it.
I mean, this is something that I believe is going to be a major component of the 2022 election cycle, this crime wave.
Now, a lot of people will say, just get out of the cities.
I think, you know, no.
I think major cities and municipalities have a lot of amenities and there's a lot of positive things going for it.
I mean, one of the things that you've always talked about, Mr. Taylor, is A lot of these cities used to have wonderful symphonies and they had culture, they had art, but that all went away in the 80s and 90s because of crime.
And if we don't deal with crime, I mean, you have to address it or else you're just gonna see these ghost towns that make what you see in China, these legitimate ghost towns where they're just buildings, you know, don't want to see America just become just one vast suburb after another.
No, I suspect that you're wrong about the extent to which crime will be a political issue.
I don't think that it's going to be by any means a national political issue.
I hope it does become one, but I think that even Republicans will be very leery about campaigning on it because they know that all you need to do is scratch ever so slightly and you're talking about black people.
And Republicans are notoriously gun-shy about saying anything sensible on the subject of race.
But I hope that you are right and that I am wrong and that crime becomes part of the campaign and it's talked about in a straightforward way.
But I said I wanted to talk about Kwanzaa and if it's going to be celebrated, I like the way they're doing it in Durham.
Of course, this is an artificial, cooked-up celebration that was invented by black studies professor and activist Malunga Karenga in 1966.
Now who says black people don't invent things, Mr. Kersey?
He invented Kwanzaa.
And it was designed To give blacks, in his words, an alternative to the existing holiday of Christmas and to give blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society.
So there you go.
It was invented by blacks and for blacks, at least by this one particular black.
And beginning with Bill Clinton.
He was the first president to make a declaration marking the holiday.
And since then, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and even Donald Trump have issued greetings to celebrate Kwanzaa.
And just a couple of days ago, Joe Biden, none other than Sleepy Joe, he says, as we begin the seven days of Kwanzaa, Jill and I send our best wishes to everyone celebrating.
May this time of reflection on the rich heritage of African-American culture bring peace, unity and joy.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I bet you could do a little peace, unity and joy.
And I hope by reflecting on the rich heritage of African-American culture, you will get it in spades.
And there is still a postage stamp being issued for Kwanzaa.
But isn't it your sense, and it's hard to know, but it seems to me Kwanzaa is on the decline.
I really don't hear about it much anymore.
Do you?
Well, I can tell you this.
One of my favorite things to do, I did not do it this year, it's been a few years since I last did it, but I used to send Kwanzaa cards to some of my good friends.
You could go to your local store, your local Target, your Walmart, Eight days?
store and get the Hallmark Mahogany cards and they had some beautiful Kwanzaa
cards and and I hope that when my friends when they received that card
that if they had eight days of joy and they had eight days of embracing this
wonderful holiday that was as Ann Coulter noted in all and her yearly
column I believe it was what invented by the FBI as well or something I can't
remember the exact details but it's just it's so absurd or seven days whatever it
It's just so absurd.
Well, I mean, if you're white, you get eight days, because that's white privilege.
If you're black, you get only seven days.
Actually, you get double the amount.
It's 14, so you get... Well, Maluna Karenga, the inventor of it, you know, his birth name was Ronald McKinley Everett.
And he baptized himself Maulana, Maulana Karenga, and Maulana is Swahili Arabic for Master Teacher.
If you were to come up with a new name for yourself, I bet you would choose Master Teacher, Mr. Kersey, because that's just the kind of guy you are.
No, I think you would not.
In any case, he chairs the Africana Studies Department of Cal State University, Long Beach.
And he's got a colorful past.
In the 1960s, he started an organization to compete with the Black Panthers.
And in 1969, they had a series of armed confrontations and retaliatory shootings that left four of the Panthers dead.
And there were wounded on both sides.
And in 1971, Mr. Karenga was sentenced to one to 10 years in prison on counts of felony assault and false imprisonment.
One of the victims testified that Karenga and other men tortured her and another woman.
She said that they were stripped naked and beaten with an electrical cord.
Karenga's then-wife, Brenda Lorraine Karenga, testified that she sat on the other woman's stomach while another man forced water into her mouth through a hose.
They were also hit on their heads with toasters.
This must be some special Kwanzaa form of torture.
I don't know.
Hitting people with toasters.
In any case, Maulana Karenga has declined to discuss the convictions of the reporters and does not mention them in his biographical materials.
I wonder why.
Now, Vice President Kamala Harris.
She is, of course, the first vice president in history to announce her pronouns on Twitter.
Apparently, she's still a she, or at least claims to be.
And she says that she celebrated Kwanzaa during her childhood.
Well, her childhood was in a high-caste Indian household, and that would have been in Quebec, of all places.
But the vice president says she did, so I guess she did.
Now, Representative Marjorie Greene, Republican of Georgia, Responded to a tweet by a conservative group called College Republicans wishing people a happy Kwanzaa.
And you know what Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted?
She says, stop!
It's a fake religion created by a psychopath.
Good work.
Good work, Marjorie.
Good work.
She's actually, and I say this unabashedly, she is my favorite individual in Congress right now.
So I think, you know, That's pretty good!
It's a fake religion created by a psychopath.
I wouldn't call it a religion, necessarily, but it's certainly fake, and it sure was created by a psychopath.
So, good work, Marjorie.
Meanwhile, a group of Black Lives Matter activists held a seminar at something called the Butler University Laboratory School.
This is in Indianapolis.
It's K-8.
And this was during a spring 2020 lecture in which the students were told that they live in a world where crime is made up, and black people, yes, made up, and black people are enslaved.
And a video of the talk was recently leaked by Tony Kinnett.
He is district science coordinator for Indianapolis Public Schools, and he is badly melanin deprived.
The guest speakers, all of whom were black women, told the students, I remember this is K-8, some big assembly, that they were living in a misogynistic masculine society.
I mean, when you were in K-8, did you know what misogynistic meant?
I'm not sure I did.
Yeah, I already wanted to tell you what I didn't know when I was in K-8.
I mean, this stuff, it's, you know, being around family for Christmas and nieces and nephews, it is astonishing just how Different America is from you know the mid 90s late 90s when I was that age and growing up It's just these are I can't even I never would have made it through high school because I would have I would have been you know You wouldn't have understood the language in any case they say it's a misogynistic masculine society that uses white supremacy and capitalism to harm black people and
And the talk in the spring was part of the district's racial justice speaker series.
And they went on to say, crime is made up.
People created these rules and people break them.
It's just that if you are black, brown or poor, you are more likely to be jailed for these things, to be enslaved, imprisoned for these things that a lot of people do.
And the teachers who hosted the speakers applauded them for, quote, being open about who you are and the challenges that you faced and kept going.
Now, the speakers encouraged the students to, quote, stop all this madness by becoming activists and fighting for equality in Indianapolis.
It's not about us doing crime.
It's about crime being done to our communities, they said.
And one of the activists claims she was raised in an environment where she, along with her parents, friends, and brothers and sisters, experienced, quote, harms and trauma that ultimately put them in situations that result in us doing things that locks us up.
Oh boy.
Let's get this straight again.
They were put into situations by misogynistic white supremacy, I suppose, that they were put into situations that resulted them in doing things that locked them up.
And she said that white supremacy and capitalism really harm black and brown people.
Well, I assume that this is going to be one of these overwhelmingly black schools.
Mr. Kersey, I was wrong.
Butler University Laboratory School.
It is a magnet school and it's 62% white.
However, the speakers who invited these black BLM activists appear to have been black.
But after the talk, school leaders applauded the speakers and students said they were meeting real-life superheroes right now.
So you can go to a magnet school that is majority white and still get this sort of stuff thrown at you.
These are your tax dollars.
It's funny, Mr. Taylor, you just said that these people said crime is made up, it's not real.
Well, in the city of Indianapolis, as of December 13th, Mr. Taylor, Indianapolis' homicide total stood at 258.
That's 13 more than 2020's year in total, and 25 more than a year ago on this date.
So, I guess Indianapolis, all these people who they say are dead, it's not true.
You're just making those numbers up, Mr. Kersey.
Yeah.
That's what Fox59.com reports!
We live in such an age where, again, the facts are all around us.
They're all around us, and basically to be a member of the elite is to So, swat away these facts and pick up, off the ground, a bunch of letters that form the most incoherently, incomprehensible things like misogyny or white supremacy or implicit bias or systemic racism and use that as justification for... It explains everything.
Yep, exactly.
Well, I did want to work in a story about the Queen of England.
Uh, you may have heard about this.
I caught it in a vague sort of way that on Christmas day, there was an incident at Windsor castle where the queen was living.
And, uh, I noticed I'd read that somebody was arrested, but it's only recently that I found out what it was all about.
A suspect with a crossbow was found at 8 30 AM on Christmas day after he was spotted on closed circuit television, roaming the gardens after having hopped the outer wall.
And police will be looking into how he got in, how he got over this sort of spiked perimeter fence.
He probably used a makeshift ladder.
But who is this lad?
A 19-year-old British-born Sikh, Jaswant Singh Chail.
And he was roaming around the grounds hoping to assassinate the Queen in revenge for the Amritsar Massacre.
Well, well.
Do you know much about the Amritsar Massacre?
I don't know anything about that massacre.
Well, it took place in 1919 and it was a pretty serious business.
You see, there had been riots in India and these crowds were carrying out arson attacks on British banks.
They killed several British women, I'm sorry, killed several British people and assaulted British women.
They cut railway lines, telegraph posts torn down, government buildings burnt.
And a number of Europeans were murdered, and so the British government decided to put most of Punjab, that's where Amritsar is located, under martial law and legislation restricted civil liberties, including freedom of assembly.
Gatherings of more than four people were banned, but there was a mass demonstration despite the ban and a fellow named Colonel Dyer, He was in charge and he decided to open fire on this group of people.
And there's an estimate 379 protesters were killed and 1200 wounded.
It was a pretty serious massacre.
It was a very bad business.
And he said that, and it's really quite remarkable that he should have said these things.
He was brought back to Britain and put on trial.
And he said that his act was meant not to disperse the meeting, but to punish the Indians for disobedience.
Yeah.
Killed 379 of them.
Well, he also said, uh, nope, he didn't have his men tend to the wounded because there were hospitals in town and it was their business to look after the wounded.
In any case, uh, he, he was not actually given a criminal trial, but he was busted.
He was kicked out of the military and he died in disgrace.
In any case, Back in March of 1940 in London, an Indian independence activist who witnessed the events at Amritsar and had himself been wounded, shot and killed Michael O'Dwyer, who was then Lieutenant Governor of Punjab and who had approved of what Colonel Dyer had done.
So apparently this guy who was after the Queen has a long memory and he was acting in the footsteps of this This fellow, Uttam Singh, another Sikh.
So there you go.
Well, we've got so many more stories to talk about.
Doggone it.
Do we have a really short one we could, well, yes, we'll try to fit one in.
Just last October, a 15-year-old student named Zacchaeus Selby hit Timothy Simpkins, 18, inside a high school in Fort Worth.
And while Selby, the first hitter, was being restrained, Simpkins walked over to his backpack, pulled out a .45 caliber pistol, and shot Selby, who was critically injured.
And then Simpkins opened fire into a classroom, hitting a teacher and another student.
Well, he was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and then released on bail the next day.
But the terms of Simpkin's $75,000 bond prohibit the use of drugs and alcohol, and he was busted just for Christmas after a court-martialed urinalysis returned a positive result.
What's amazing about this is you can shoot up a school, wound three people, and then walk out the next day on bail.
But in any case, he missed a visit from Santa, unless the big house in Fort Worth has a nice chimney for Santa to go down.
But that was just an amusing little story about why crime is up.
You can shoot three people in a school and walk out on bail the next day.
In any case, this is our last podcast before the New Year begins, and we thank all of our listeners, wherever you are in the world, young and old, male and female, for the honor of listening to us.
And on behalf of Mr. Kersey, I'm sure he joins me in wishing you a very, very happy, wonderful New Year, and it will be our pleasure to look forward to spending another hour with you every week, we hope, for the year to come.
