Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host Paul Kersey.
The date is January 20th, year of our Lord, 2022.
And we'd like to begin, as we so often do, with a listener comment.
This person writes in to say, thank you all for honoring Colin Flaherty with your podcast and your article at the Amaran website.
He was a great man, an irreplaceable man.
I could not agree more.
Our listener goes on to say, I enjoy Greg and Chris's podcast.
That would be Gregory Hood and Chris Roberts, who also put out a weekly podcast.
He goes on to say, Jared and Paul are equally learned men.
Well, I hope that's true, but it might not be.
So, in addition to your discussion of news topics, I would like to hear your truncated, if necessary, opinions on philosophy, historical figures, etc.
Well, the fact is, our podcast and its purpose is different from that of the one that is done by Hood and Roberts.
Ours is really a current events podcast.
Occasionally, I have been, well, at least on one occasion, I was a guest on the other podcast with Gregory Hood.
We talked about Guillaume Fay.
But as I said before, these podcasts really have separate purposes.
And I think we will probably stick to current events.
And if we really are as learned as our listener says, we may occasionally add a philosophical or historical allusion, but I think we'll probably stick to current events.
I believe that would be Mr. Kurz's preference as well.
We also have another comment here.
This is from a listener who signs his name, and in this case, I'm going to give out the name.
Clyde Always.
I suspect that's not an actual birth certificate name.
Well, Clyde Always sends us a little work of poetry, and it goes like this.
Pawnee and Shawnee, Mohican Dakota and Ute are only a handful among the thousands our own Mr. Taylor will butcher by lashing away with that devilish tongue.
Dear me, well, I've understood that white silence is violence.
I guess my words actually massacre people by the thousands.
I think that's what you call getting scalped, poetically speaking.
Yes, I suppose so.
Is that a tongue lashing I got?
I think we must have a poetic Indian among our listeners.
In any case, we will leave that as it is.
I'm not quite sure how to interpret that, but then poetry is one of those things that you just often never know.
Now, let's start off with a Los Angeles Times profile, a very sympathetic profile of Patrisse Cullors.
As many of you know, she was one of the original organizers of Black Lives Matter.
And the article opens with these words.
Patrice Cullors cries when she remembers the fear she felt while checking into treatment for a mental breakdown.
How she prayed during the entire ride to the facility.
I really thought I was going to die, said the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Global Network.
I thought I was either going to get killed by a crazy white supremacist or I was going to kill myself.
I was preparing for death.
Good grief.
Mr. Kersey, did you know that she was in such desperate straits?
I had no clue.
Well, apparently she was.
The article says, Cullors had endeared threats and criticism for years, but the turning point came in April 2021, when news outlets reported that Cullors had been on a personal, quote, million-dollar real estate buying binge.
Now, you and I cover that on our podcast.
When the word came out of, yes, she picked up, as I recall, three or four properties that were at least a million dollars each.
Well, you remember those properties also, just to briefly interrupt, were in almost entirely white.
Indeed they were.
Topanga Canyon.
Topanga Canyon.
That was the super, super white one.
In any case, she says that she was denounced by the usual critics on the right, but the stories also generated anger from inside the movement, including from family members of people killed by police.
That wounded poor Patrice Cullors, especially when Lisa Simpson, whose 18-year-old son, Richard Risher, was killed by Los Angeles police in 2016.
In housing development, she held a news conference outside of a South LA property owned by Connors.
So I guess she was getting the demonstrated against treatment.
Black lives don't matter, your pockets matter, said Lisa Simpson.
But the reaction of Patrisse Cullors was, never in a million years did I think that black people wouldn't protect me.
Well, it's things like this that just drove her to the point of requiring psychological treatment.
Cullors went on to denounce the reports about property as misleading.
Now, I suppose it is true Topanga Canyon is so exclusively white that a mere $2 million just gets you a pokey little dump, but there you go.
So it really was misleading.
This wasn't the palatial estate that you'd think you'd get with $2 million in South L.A., but...
There was also criticism about her owning property and building wealth when she claims that she is a trained Marxist.
But in any case, this demonstration outside of her house was the last straw, and so she stepped down from the Black Lives Matter global network a month later, and five weeks after that she entered treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Now for a lady who has prompted demonstration after demonstration and probably in some cases actually prompted people to shoot at police officers and kill them.
For her to have a demonstration outside in front of her house and she's got Traumatic Stress Syndrome and had to go into inpatient treatment.
Wow!
When she finally decided to seek help, colors hit roadblocks.
As she scoured to find an inpatient treatment center that specializes in PTSD, but also in racial trauma, and a place that would protect her privacy and allow her to bring her five-year-old.
Well, she's not asking for much, is she?
No.
No?
No.
You're going into a dried-out clinic, and you want to bring your five-year-old, and you want to have your privacy protected.
It's got to be all about racial trauma, because wherever she goes, there's going to be racial trauma.
But she spent a month resting, journaling, and praying.
Or five rolls with her.
Well, I assume so.
I assume so.
Now, to what God did trained Marxists pray, Mr. Kersey?
I'm just not sure.
Maybe the almighty dollar?
Well, there you go.
But now, six months since that day, 38-year-old Cullors is still recovering.
She goes on to say, I have never felt so objectified.
Boy, how many white policemen has she objectified?
Well, think about that great Heather McDonald piece that talks about how many cops were actually targeted by blacks in 2021 versus how many unarmed blacks were killed.
Do you know what the figure of unarmed blacks killed in 2021 is?
It was under 10, I believe.
Four.
I just checked the Washington Post database the other day.
Four.
Okay.
Yes.
Four.
Four.
Yes.
But, you know, that's this great scourge of this country, and probably all four of them deserved it.
Frankly.
I mean, they were coming at him one way or another.
But let's see.
I have never felt this objectified.
And she goes on to say about this conversation about her property, she says, it wasn't just a character assassination campaign, but a campaign to actually get me assassinated.
Now, how does she know that?
Well, she might not know the fact that since she, as one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter, Steve Saylor did a quick breakdown and he found that black homicide deaths went up 53% during the George Floyd era.
Compared to the prior years of that same time period.
So, this is from some CDC data that he broke out over at UNZ.com.
Well, my recollection is that compared to 2019, blacks accounted for about 68% of the increase.
In murder victims.
And I believe it works out to about 3,500 extra black bodies killed in the year of Black Lives Matter.
And of course you think about all the trauma that the family members of those who survived went through, probably the retaliation that we saw, the no-stitching culture, just the degradation of life wherever these murders took place.
But it was too much for her and she had to go get her head shrunk for a month of inpatient treatment And she spent her time journaling and printing.
Journaling?
Well, I suppose you'll publish her journals, no doubt.
In any case, she says nobody really understands the role of a movement leader.
Especially when it's a black woman or women in leadership.
The level of vitriol we receive, the level of criticism, the level of expectation that we are supposed to be the mother for everybody.
Well, it's true.
As a white leader of an organization, I don't expect to be the mother of anyone.
And she goes on to say, and that's from black folks.
She gets all this.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
Betrayed by her own poor Patrice Cullors.
But she's still not in charge of the movement.
She's apparently running an art gallery now.
She's found her true calling.
Where?
And where's this art gallery open?
In South LA.
South LA.
Yes, you could go by probably a Patrisse Cullors original.
You know, we're not going to talk about L.A., but were you shocked by the story about the trains that are being, the mass vandalization that's taking place to the point where Union Pacific is going to try and reroute trains to stay out of L.A.?
Yes.
Containers are being opened.
I mean, containers are solidly locked up.
I guess they shunt them off in, I didn't read the articles very carefully, but they shunt them off in a side yard someplace and people show up with what?
Bolt cutters?
I don't know, blow torches and get into these things?
I saw a picture also of one of these rail yards littered With packaging and packages.
Open packages, yeah.
To the point that they had a derailing in there with so much junk sitting on the track.
It looks like something out of post-apartheid South Africa.
Johannesburg or one of these other towns where lawlessness has become, and of course tyranny, has become the law of the land.
The fact that this is, once again, a city where you have a Soros-funded DA, the former cop, George Gascon.
Mr. Gascon.
Gascon, okay.
It breaks out that the majority of his funding came outside of LA and he beat the black former DA.
If you recall, this is why I brought this up, during the Black Lives Matter nonsense, during the summer of George Floyd, they actually marched on her home and her husband pulled a gun And he was, I believe, arrested!
I forgot what ended up happening, but... That's right.
I think he got off, but that's right.
The black DA's husband, a Puerto Rican!
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
And of course, LA is one of those cities that has seen a significant uptick in dead BIPOCs at the hands of other BIPOCs.
Well, we're not South Africa yet, because at least the thugs are not yet stealing the rails.
Who knows when that will come?
But we have another lady of color who is taking a beating from her own folks, and that is Sunny Lee.
18 years old, she became the first Asian-American gymnast to win the Olympic all-round competition gold medal, which she did in Tokyo last year.
She's also the first Hmong to make the Olympic team.
I think that's pretty remarkable.
First Hmong makes the team and wins a gold medal.
And she has been an enormous source of pride for the community of Hmong during her performances.
However, In December, she posted a pair of Instagram photographs of her smiling with her squeeze.
And giving him a squeeze, this is a fellow by the name of Jalen, who is a football player at the University of South Carolina, and he is black.
Well, she has received, as she puts it, so much hate from the Hmong American community about this interracial relationship.
The Hmong are apparently not very tolerant When their girls date blacks.
Well, I wonder what the blacks are saying about all this.
We know what Muhammad Ali, of course, is saying.
I'm sure they don't even know who Sonny Lee is.
I don't know.
They probably think it's a pastry or something.
Oh, that's Sara Lee, sorry.
Sara Lee, yes, you're right.
Be that as it may.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story for us about blacks marching into medical school.
A great clip today.
Yeah, this is going to be, I'm going to break this one down because this is from NPR and it's an interview.
I was hoping there was going to be an actual news story, but as so often is the case, Mr. Taylor, NPR just published the actual transcript of the conversation, and the title was, More Black Students Are Headed to Medical School, But Finances Are Still a Major Issue, and it opens up with this introduction.
Medical schools are reporting a record increase in black students.
Across the U.S., the number of first-year African Americans is way up 21 percent, an unprecedented spike since 2020.
A lot of this has to do with the fact that the country needs more physicians.
As we're seeing so many physicians retire, but also because of this pandemic that is going on two years that we've been living under.
So Scott Simon is the host.
he starts off by saying black students are entering medical schools across the country
in record numbers. Kirk Carapizza from the from member station GBH in Boston reports
that Tufts University has nearly tripled the number of first-year students who are black.
Wow.
And then he starts talking about a girl by the name of Sabrina Lima, who says her mom, a nurse, inspired her to pursue a career as a physician.
She's been on medical missionary trips with her, so seeing her in medicine, she's just an amazing woman.
And she's the daughter of Haitian immigrants.
Um, and she says both her and parents encouraged her to apply to medical school And she then says that for Haitian kids either you're a doctor lawyer.
You're an engineer Of course, knowing a lot about Haiti, I'm not quite sure... Are these all in America?
Because there sure are many on the island of Haiti that are engineers.
Repeat that line, will you?
Okay, Lima says... Remember, this is the girl who's going to Tufts, who's being profiled in this piece.
She says, quote, for Haitian kids, either you're a doctor, lawyer, or you're an engineer.
So when I said I want to be a doctor, they're not going to be like, no, why would you want to do that?
They're like, yeah.
My kid wants what I want for them, but they never pushed it.
Is this the Haitian Jewish community?
Perhaps.
So then the NPR host out of the Boston station says last year she's accepted into Tufts Medical School where last fall the number of new students who identified as black or African-American jumped from nine the year before to 26.
Across the country, medical schools say the number of first-year black students in the U.S.
is way up, 21%.
It's an unprecedented spike.
in the past year.
Thanks to George, I'm sure.
Yeah, yeah, and of course right now, only 5% of the country's doctors are black.
They're then talking about how, this is an individual that they're talking to,
Norma Pohl Hunter.
She leads workforce diversity efforts at the Association of American Medical Colleges.
And she says this, quote, when black physicians, male physicians,
are working with black male patients, we see better outcomes in preventative care, cardiac care.
We've also seen that in terms of infant mortality as well.
Do you have any thoughts?
Have you seen these studies?
I'd like to know, are outcomes better for white patients if they have white doctors?
Let's not ask that question.
It's not addressed here.
The NPR host then says this, to address health disparities afflicting black people, Hunter says more medical schools are adjusting their admissions procedures.
Here's the kicker of the whole story.
This is why we're talking about this.
He says this, looking beyond test scores and waiving application fees, allowing more students to interview remotely and considering when raced, deciding which students to admit.
Yes, we don't care about scores and we're considering race.
Well, that's how you can raise the numbers, all right?
Now we'll see if they pass their boards.
Yes, one last quote from this NPR piece.
Joyce Sackey, who is Dean for Multicultural Affairs and Global Health at Tufts, which as we talked about, saw an unprecedented shift in the number of black students from 2020 to 2021.
She says, the ongoing racial reckoning has served as an inspiration for admission officers to redouble their diversity efforts.
Quote, we are a medical school that has declared that we want to work towards becoming an anti-racist institution.
This stand may have also signaled to applicants whom we accepted that maybe this is a place that they could make home."
So long as they're BIPOCs.
Yeah, so again, test scores, ah, get it out of here.
We're not worried about it.
No, no, no.
Competence, that's a racist concept.
Well, this lets us move rather nicely into the question of Antonio Banks.
Antonio Banks was eager to join a robust black student community as a freshman at Cal State San Bernardino.
However, when he returned to campus as a sophomore, many of those students, these blacks, were missing.
He says, I'll never forget that feeling of seeing them all wiped out in that first year, and it wasn't for lack of intelligence or lack of capacity, says he.
And I guess you would know because he is African American himself.
Now, at age 34, he is the first Director of Black and Males of Color Success at Compton College.
Imagine having that on your business card.
Director of Black and Males of Color Success.
His role, which began in late November, was created explicitly to ensure that black men stay enrolled, succeed academically, and graduate.
Banks will be tasked with embedding supports specific to black men and men of color across the college's guided pathways to help students navigate the step-by-step requirements needed to graduate.
Now that's a mouthful!
Now, the guided pathways.
Do colleges have guided pathways to graduation these days?
I don't remember any guided pathways.
I don't know.
Are they LED lights?
What kind of lights are guided?
That's a good question.
But he is going to embed specific supports for black men.
All right.
Now, Compton College, that's where he works, in 2019, about 63% of the Compton students experienced housing insecurity that year.
I'm not quite sure what that means.
And 23% had been homeless.
These are college students.
Good golly.
I think what they need... I'm not sure what they need.
What was on his business card again?
His title is Director of Black and Males of Color Success.
Okay.
He directs their success.
I'm not sure what he's doing here.
Well, come on.
I just read to you what he's doing.
He is embedding supports specific to black men and men of color across the college's guided pathways.
Okay.
Yeah, I know you said that, but I'm still trying to ascertain what that means.
Yes, we'll start processing that.
Well, higher ed experts say senior level positions such as banks specifically dedicated to the needs of black men are rare.
Now, Compton College President and CEO Keith Curry is also African-American, so he's got this ball rolling.
Now, there's a fellow named Derek Perkins, Director of the Center for Male Engagement at the College of Philadelphia.
Center for Male Engagement.
Sounds like they're looking for marriage partners for him.
Male Engagement.
That was founded in 2009 to serve black men.
He finds black men are more likely to feel that teachers and professors view them as unintelligent, a threat, or disengaged, and this impedes their learning.
So, low enrollment and retention rates among black men are, as he puts it, a national crisis that has persisted for decades.
It's a national crisis.
Now Perkins, he says, now I guess this is all part of being the guided pathway, but in my particular role, I'm the director.
I'm a father figure.
I'm a mentor.
I'm a big brother.
I'm a probation officer.
I'm an Uber driver.
I'm a counselor.
I'm an advisor.
Does it take all that?
Maybe it does.
Wait a minute, I see an Uber driver.
What does that have to do with anything?
Oh, I'm sure that means he drives people to their appointments.
Is he just saying that he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, is he getting paid?
Is he an Uber employee as well?
I imagine that just means that he drives these people to appointments with their probation officers.
Okay.
Okay.
But in any case, uh, uh, this article goes on to say colleges and universities have launched one pilot program after another to offer extra support for black men.
Now here's yet another African.
His name is Edward Bush, president of Consumnes River College in Sacramento.
He believes that positions devoted to black male success are the next evolution of diversity work on college campuses.
Specifically to black males.
Well, what next?
You're gonna have special programs for black males with at least three arrests?
What the heck?
I mean, is it just possible?
Mr. Kersey, I ask you in all candor, could it be that these black men just don't belong in college?
I mean, if it takes a guy who is a director, father, mentor, big brother, probation officer, Uber driver, counselor, and advisor to get them through, I mean, maybe they'd be better off learning how to be roofers or sheetrock hangers.
Well, I mean, it's fascinating you ask that question because a lot of the athletes at Division I colleges have the same thing.
The black athletes who are helping them out.
As we've learned through a lot of these grade scandals that exist all across the country, it's not as if the students who are representing these universities, these elite Division I universities... Well, they weren't exactly students, were they?
No, no.
A lot of them were just athletes who were just there doing some Taking a couple tests to stay eligible.
But no, to ask the question you just did is to answer it.
I just don't get it.
Now, I hope that at least the ones who are getting into medical school are not quite as bad off as that.
But I suspect there is a certain parallel there.
Correct.
But I should rein in my suspicious mind.
And moving on to some interesting statistics for just last year, 2021.
73 police officers died in felonious killings in the line of duty.
73 police officers.
That's right.
This year marks the highest total Recorded by a federal agency that looks into this since 1995.
1995 was at the height of the crack epidemic.
Things were really bad.
I think the all-time high murder figure in the United States in 1991.
And then things began to come down beginning about 1994, 1995.
Was Oklahoma City in 95?
Did they include that?
And there's, are we, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That one. Yeah. That was a terrorist attack.
Okay. I'm just curious. That's okay. And the 73 deaths reported by the FBI are a 59%
increase from the 2020 totals of 46. Instead of 46, we had Now, 25 were killed in what are called unprovoked attacks.
This is somebody just walks up to a police officer and goes, bang.
This isn't an attempted arrest.
This is somebody just out to kill a police officer.
25 of them.
It's almost impossible to guard against that.
Yeah, it is.
And this was an increase from previous years, which usually see the number of officers killed in unprovoked attacks in low single digits.
In 2020, only two officers were killed in that way.
So from 2 to 25?
Yes, 2 to 25.
I mean, this is what you get when you have all these prominent people saying all cops are bastards.
The only good cop is a dead cop.
People walking around waving signs like that in demonstrations.
This is absolutely outrageous.
Of course, this information is getting no attention at all.
All these poor cops.
In the early days of the George Floyd insurrection, I was in one of the major cities where the There have been some serious looting, some serious violence, some serious burning, and I remember seeing what you just said graffitied on buildings.
ACAB.
I had no idea what that meant.
What does that mean?
What?
And then someone told me, and I walked up, I said, that's you guys.
Those are some cops.
And they're like, what are you supposed to do about it?
Yeah.
You know, it's incredible.
Wow.
You know, you guys are supposed to have the monopoly on violence, right?
You would think.
Wow.
Of course, that's all bastards.
Those numbers, like you said, from two in 2020 to 25.
Do you see things getting better in 2022?
Yeah, do you see things getting better in 2022?
Nope, frankly, although, although there have been some so many press reports on the number
of murders increasing, and all these defund the defund the police efforts, they seem to
have gone nowhere.
Even the cities like Minneapolis and Seattle that talked about it and actually did cut police budgets are restoring some of this money.
Oh, and as we talked about Portland, that's a city that actually brought back their firearms, their firearms group, although they're having, within the police department, but they're having trouble actually finding people who want to take that vocation.
Used to be a prestigious job.
Exactly.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
And Eric Adams, of course, brought back their firearm.
This is the number one story at the Wall Street Journal today.
It's on Drudge Report.
I know a lot about this area.
is they're just gonna get out.
This is the number one story at the Wall Street Journal today.
It's on Drudge Report.
I know a lot about this area.
This is, I believe, this is going to be one of the biggest stories of 2022
because of what it means for so much of what's happening across the country.
Now, here's a big story I'll just briefly hit on because it talks about what's happening.
One of the governor candidates in Arizona has said that she would work with Texas to help build the wall because the federal government has failed.
Oh, I mean state funding for the wall?
Yeah, the states would come together and they would do what the federal government has failed to do and it's fascinating.
This is something that Wolf and I, Henry Wolf and I, were talking about back in the Trump administration.
What happens if Trump loses?
And it would be, I think you're gonna see micro-secession start to take place.
This story, ladies and gentlemen, is on the cover of the Wall Street Journal.
This is a huge story because Buckhead is, if they were to secede,
this is a potential loss of the city's wealthiest and whitest area of Atlanta,
which provides so much of the tax revenue.
Now this has spurred a huge debate as officials move to address homicides and property crime.
That has only accelerated because the blacks in the south side of Atlanta, when everything happened with George Floyd and then there was a shooting of Some black suspect at Wendy's, if you remember, in 2020, and that sparked more Black Lives Matter craziness.
In fact, a little eight-year-old black girl got killed.
No one cares about that during that riot, but a lot of these people went to Buckhead and terrorized, looted.
It's a lot like the Magnificent Mile if you're talking about Chicago, high-end shopping, beautiful homes, a lot like what's a really nice area, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
So, An increase in violent crime has spurred a movement in Atlanta's wealthiest and whitest neighborhood to push harder to secede, creating a new city with its own police force.
The idea has been gaining momentum over the past year.
It's raising alarm among Atlanta officials worried about what this loss of population and tax revenue would mean.
The Republican Majority State Legislature just opened its 2022 session.
It's taking up proposed legislation this month For a referendum on Buckhead cityhood.
Politicians in the largely democratic Atlanta.
IE Black opposed the idea.
Bill White, he's a chief executive of the committee pushing Buckhead cityhood, said Atlanta hasn't done enough to stem violence, car thefts, drag racing, and other crimes that surged since mid-2020 during the early stage of the pandemic and then after the quote-unquote civil unrest, followed by Black Lives Matter protests.
He said this, quote, they really don't care about Buckhead.
They just want the money, end quote.
Yes, and a violent crime has risen in large cities across the nation with several setting records for murders.
Atlanta had 158 homicides in 2021, 157 in 2020 compared with 99 in 2019.
So that's a significant increase, but it's one that actually maintained itself from 2020 to 2022.
There were 13 murders in Atlanta Police Zone 2, which includes Buckhead, last year through the week ending December 25th, up 63% Well, 13 in just one week in Buckhead?
No, no, no, no. Through the weekend, December 25th. That's up 63% from the same period in 2020.
That's a significant increase. Police have posted videos from Buckhead on social medias of assaults,
drag racing, gunfire, and other potential criminal activity.
Buckhead, where 108,000 of Atlanta's 510 residents live, the political debate has shifted from
calls from more police officers to the possibility of splitting the city apart.
Now this has happened in other parts of Fulton County.
I wonder if they're going to do what Arizona does and fund a wall.
Well, that's the ultimate question because, okay, if you come to your own city, how can you keep these people from jumping on BARDA, moving Africans rapidly through Atlanta, and heading to Buckhead to just keep doing the crime?
Because the moment that this police force does something, there's going to be that call for, well, this is, what is this?
Is this Jim Crow?
Is this a return of restricted covenants?
Well, I wish.
That would be great.
There's going to be a federal investigation.
So just some quick breakdowns of why this is so important.
Critics of Buckhead cityhood argue the Atlanta-Buckhead split would divide the region along economic and It would.
Buckhead City would be about 71% non-Hispanic white and only about 11% black, while the remaining Atlanta would be about 27% non-Hispanic white and 61% black, according to data compiled by the Atlanta Regional Commission.
The median household income in Buckhead City would be about $110,000, compared with $58,000 in the remaining parts of Atlanta.
Well, we know that all cops are bastards, all whites are bastards, so the blacks in Atlanta should be happy to see them go, right?
Here's the great question that Mr. White has posed.
People are objecting.
Mr. White says, this is the guy who's in charge of it, he's upset that this is being viewed in racial or economic terms, quote, You just want to get control of crime in your community.
It's unfair to say that is racist."
End quote.
Now here could be the coup de grace.
I wish it would happen.
Easy to compile.
You know, a guy like Hunter Wallace, he could easily do it.
He could get the Atlanta Police Department records that are available.
You'd have to do it by month because they're PDFs.
You could break out the suspects that they have and the homicides.
It would be a little time-consuming, but somebody listening, the Atlanta Police Department website has this information.
It's not parsed together.
It's not compiled and aggregated.
You have to do it by month.
So it takes a little time, but you can easily show who were the suspects in at least the homicides in Atlanta in 2021.
And then you could say, well, wait a second.
Why is it that 95% of the homicide suspects, and this is just conjecture, were black.
When Atlanta is, it's not 97% black.
It's a law of nature.
I think that's the case wherever you look.
And that actually, just on a quick addendum, That actually got Bill White, I'm not sure if you saw this story, that got him in some trouble because he tweeted out something from VDARE where they actually pointed out, well, you know, who are the suspects in all this crime in Atlanta?
And this tweet noted, probably the same that are found in places like Chicago, New York, or in 82% Jackson, Mississippi, which we've talked about on this podcast.
And he actually retweeted that and said this, that brought howls of condemnation from black Democrats in Georgia and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
It's the crime of noticing.
The ultimate crime.
Not yet punishable by death in the United States, but I'm sure Biden and his friends are working on it.
They are working on it.
Yes, Merrick Garland, I'm sure he stays up at night thinking about how to shut people like you and me up, up, up.
But moving on to a different story, the Transportation Security Administration.
They have pointed out that illegal immigrants who are unable to obtain proper identification can get on planes and pass through security by showing, guess what?
They can show what is considered an acceptable alternative form of identification for the TSA, a warrant for arrest of aliens.
Oh, okay.
Yes, or a warrant of removal or deportation.
You can walk up and say, yeah, yeah, I'm the guy, I'm the guy.
This says, you know, the Homeland Security wants me out of the country, and this says go, but yeah, I'm the guy, and T.S.
says, oh, yeah, sure enough, you're the guy, get on the plane.
Oh, you're flying to Kansas City, I see.
Have a nice flight.
That's right, that's right.
Would you like a mask?
That's right.
And this policy, of course, applies to non-U.S.
citizens who do not have government-issued IDs or passports.
You know, you couldn't keep them off the airplane, poor dears, just because they've got a warrant of removal, deportation of illegal alien.
No, no, that'll get you on board an airplane.
And DHS says that an average of 159 passengers fly throughout the U.S.
using these DHS-issued documents every day.
159 flying around the country every day with either a warrant for arrest or a warrant for removal.
And as Representative Lance Gooden, Republican of Texas, says, unknown and unvetted immigrants who shouldn't even be in the country, much less flying without proper IED.
What an incredible thing.
But that's all you need is a warrant of arrest from Department of Homeland Security and you can get on board.
That's proper ID.
No fear.
What does that tell you?
I mean, was this going under the Trump administration or not?
I have no idea.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was.
But this was quite fascinating news to me.
Now, there have been some spicy ads.
Spicy ads.
I'd never heard of Penzi's Spices.
It's a Wisconsin-based company.
But it issued an email promotion on January 14th.
And I'm afraid you and I, Mr. Kersey, have said nothing about the commemoration of St.
Martin.
But that holiday was held just last weekend.
But this email promotion called the MLK Holiday Weekend Republicans Are Racist Weekend.
That's what they called it in the promotion.
And it accused Republicans of considering BLM activists as Terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then racing out to buy a crap load of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a black person.
Did you know that was what was going on?
I did not know.
This is a spice company that sent out this promotion referring to the holiday weekend as Republicans are racist weekend.
Isn't that nice to know?
Now, Penzays Spice, and I don't know how to pronounce this, P-E-N-Z-E-Y-S, Spices, go to the website, buy a bunch, all you people.
At the start of October 2019, it spent nearly $110,000 on social media ads calling for Trump's impeachment.
Now, as far as I know, I think this is a Wisconsin-based company.
I suspect it's not run by BIPOCs, but who knows?
No.
Probably not BIPOCs.
Just hopped-up, crazy, insane, self-hating, pathological white folks.
Okay, now, the Journal of the American Psychological Association.
Sounds like a worthy Well, in a well-vetted intellectual journal, they report that a Pew Research survey found that black parents are more than twice as likely as white parents to use corporal punishment on a regular basis and are far less likely never to spank their children.
Black children are also mistreated and killed at significantly higher rates than white or Latino children.
It goes on to say this, something that rather surprised me.
Black children are more likely to be assaulted, seriously injured or killed by a family member than by a police or by a neighborhood watchman.
A neighborhood watchman.
What?
So is that like in Indianapolis, you've got the ten-point coalition that go around and try and keep blacks from shooting one another?
A neighborhood watchman.
I don't know, maybe that's George Zimmerman.
Or a... I don't know what they're talking about, but black children are more likely to be assaulted, shot, injured, or killed by a family member than by a policeman or a neighborhood watchman.
A violence interrupter, that's the word I was thinking of.
You have those in a lot of cities.
Maybe so.
And it goes on to say, far too many black persons, black parents argue that whooping children is a distinctly black tradition.
This belief, however heartfelt, is wrong, says the Journal of American Psychological Association.
You know where this comes from?
African Americans adopted the practice of beating children from white slave masters.
Yes.
Europeans brutalized their own children for thousands of years.
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
Prior to crossing the Atlantic to the New World and colonizing Africa for thousands of years.
Okay.
Thousands of years.
Historians and anthropologists have found no evidence that ritualistic forms of physical discipline of children existed in pre-colonial West African societies prior to the Atlantic slave trade.
Did you know that?
I did.
There was no physical punishment.
I mean, Shaka Zulu used to just kill anybody who got in his way, but there was no... Children were not physically punished, apparently.
Not in West African societies prior to the slave trade.
After slaves were emancipated in 1865, once again, whites co-opted black parenting to make sure it performed the same kind of function and freedom that it had during slavery.
Got that?
With sanctioning from the black church, black parents enacted the Master's Lash to instill
obedience.
Their reasoning was simple.
Prepare black children to deal with the chronic stresses they would face to keep them alive.
Got that?
So it's all our fault.
There's a video, I think, in this for you, if you want to.
To me, there are many astonishing questions here.
What on earth are these people talking about?
The Journal of American Psychological Association, you would expect that to be a peer-reviewed journal.
I would be astonished if this was, well, maybe the author's peers, who might not be your peers and my peers, but it appears to me that this is a bunch of baloney.
But I believe you have a story about a different kind of baloney in Fairfax County Public Schools.
Well, you know, I think the place that wrote it is baloney.
It's from the Daily Wire.
I believe that's connected to Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro.
Well, is it all baloney?
It's not all baloney, but the way they presented it is baloney, and I'm going to tell you why as we continue.
So the story says, Fairfax schools tell children of military members that they have privilege.
Fairfax Schools, I believe the New Century Foundation is headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia.
My children, believe it or not, attended Fairfax County Public Schools.
So here's what the story says.
A Fairfax County, Virginia public school curriculum has students play Privilege Bingo, giving them privilege points if they are white, male, employed, or involved in extracurricular activities, or feel represented in the media.
It also says one of the privileges if they are a military kid.
Of course, You're talking about Washington, D.C.
Fairfax is a suburb.
You can you could throw a rock across the Potomac and hit the Pentagon almost.
Of course, you couldn't.
But what I'm saying is that's Fairfax County.
That's Arlington.
That's where Robert E. Lee's.
That's where his father.
That's where that's their ancestral home.
Mount Vernon.
I'm talking about Robert E. Lee.
Oh, oh, I beg your pardon.
Robert E. Lee, that's Arlington.
His house is still there.
I'm sure they haven't raised it yet, but that's of course where the Arlington National Cemetery is.
That's Fairfax County.
Yes, yes.
I beg your pardon.
So they say that one of the privileges is that they're a military kid.
Drawing shock from parents who pointed out that children military members must move away from their friends constantly, not see one of their parents for months on end, potentially dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and risk becoming orphans.
A parent who complained received a note from Assistant Superintendent Douglas Tyson that read this, quote, The screenshot you referenced comes from an approved Fairfax County Public School English curriculum lesson that is centered around students selecting a choice test and examining in detail the author's perspective on a wide range of issues.
Students are asked in the lesson to read critically and think critically about the author's Perspective on several fronts, including author's privilege that may or may not be present in their work.
Students are then asked independently and self-reflectively to juxtapose their thoughts regarding any perceived privileges they think they may have and how they would potentially rewrite portions of the text.
Here's the bingo game.
This is a chart.
You can go to the website, dailywire.com, and the headline, like I said, is Fairfax Schools Tell Children of Military Members That They Have Privilege.
We'll wait a second while you do that.
You can pause, go to the site, because I want you guys to play bingo with us, wherever you are around the world or in the United States.
So, I'll give you a second.
All right, hope you're ready to play.
Identifying your privilege.
Mr. Taylor, here we go.
Are you a native English speaker?
Uh-oh, I am.
Comfortable working outside alone?
What?
Outside alone?
I'm sorry, comfortable walking outside alone?
Well, in my neighborhood, yeah.
Are you a heterosexual?
Uh-oh, must I confess?
College is the expectation.
I'd say yes.
Gosh.
Well, I share it with my wife.
They did.
I am.
We're certainly raised that way.
Ooh, I suspect I have.
I'm certainly raised that way.
Never been racially profiled.
Ooh, I suspect I have.
Involved in extracurricular activities.
As a child, I was.
Never worried about food.
Mmm. Mmm.
Mmm.
Nope, maybe it was overdone, maybe it was undercooked, but nope, there was always plenty of it.
Parents, parents are married.
Yes, they were.
Now the free space, so everyone gets this spot.
Actually they could, who knows?
Maybe white privilege is having a free space.
I think I've already got a bingo here.
You're close.
I have to stand up.
Do you feel represented in media?
Hell no.
Cisgender?
Uh, yes.
Did you drive, get driven to school?
What's it to you?
No, I walked.
Born in country of residence?
Uh, what?
Well, not where I live now.
Uh-oh, I'm not privileged after all.
Do you feel safe around police officers, Mr. Taylor?
Yep, yep, yep.
Are you able-bodied?
I am.
Have you never lost a loved one?
Oh, I've lost plenty of loved ones.
Okay.
But of course, this is for children in grade school.
We know that you're employed.
We know you have no speech impediment.
Are you mentally healthy?
Mmm, I'm plee the fifth.
Are you a military kid?
Nope!
Oh my gosh, I'm not privileged after all.
So, and of course, well, what are your pronouns, pal?
My pronouns?
Oh, they're very boring.
They're very boring.
So would you call yourself a male or not?
I'm a he and I'm a him.
So ladies and gentlemen, that is what students in Fairfax County Public Schools are having, as Mr. Taylor so eloquently put it, a bingo board of privilege, where they get to figure out how much privilege they actually have.
Oh boy.
Looks like I've got everything except that my parents were in the military.
They were in a different army, of course.
They were in a Christian army.
They were missionaries.
I knew that.
So I guess I was in the military of sorts.
That's an army.
A celestial army.
I guess so.
Well, golly.
Well, I guess I'm privileged, and that means I'm an awful person.
Okay.
Well, let's see.
This is an article from the Washington Post.
Oh, you're going to tell us why you think it was presented in a baloney-like way.
Oh, it's simple.
I mean, again, why wrap that in the military bow?
It's really simple it's it's basically think about everything we talked about I mean it's yeah because again I mean yeah it's in Fairfax so that might be one of the reasons why they want to be like oh well you know your dad's got this job at the Pentagon and he's you know he's got all this power and he's got all this privilege and It's just, again, because if you're talking about people in the military... Well, I guess by now everybody takes for granted that if you are cisgendered and you're white and you're male, then of course you're privileged.
So, this one is unfair!
What?
Just because you're in the military, you're privileged?
I guess that just provokes outrage at the Daily Wire.
Yeah, I think the ultimate sign of privilege, if you actually were born in Fairfax, and your parents had lived there most of their life, and you had lived there most of your life, that would be the sign of true privilege, because then you're probably a Fairfax blue-blood, as opposed to being a transplant.
If you've got to go to school and get taught that, it doesn't sound like privilege to me.
However, this is from the Washington Post, and I would put this into the, why they just can never get it right department.
It's about transracial adoption.
And the story begins.
Angela Tucker is an adoptee raised by white parents in a city that was 88% white when she was growing up.
It left her disconnected from music such as jazz and blues music, black art forms she didn't discover passion for until adulthood.
Adoptions that involve white families and children of color who now as adults are reflecting on the racism they experienced that their parents couldn't see and rarely talked about.
Classmates' racist comments about their hair and eyes were dismissed as harmless curiosity.
Gosh, how dare it be dismissed as harmless curiosity!
Now this Angela Tucker now regrets her impulse casually to dismiss racism when it came her way, like when students in her mostly white school put pencils in her hair and marveled at the way the texture of her hair made them stay in place.
I remember knowing intellectually that that was wrong but feeling so much peer pressure and a desire to just fit in that I would laugh it off, Tucker said.
Well, as a matter of fact, I was the only honky in my entire all-Japanese school, and I tell you, they marveled at my hair!
And I guess I have been just psychologically and mentally stunted forever after.
Did I think that was racism?
No!
I thought they had never seen hair like mine before, and they were curious.
You weren't racially traumatized from that endeavor?
In that experience?
Golly, no, I was not.
Good grief.
Well, WAPO goes on.
Transracial adoptions are now 28% of all domestic adoptions in the United States.
And Richard Lee, a professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota who focuses on internationally adopted Koreans, said many adoptees experience what he calls the transracial adoption paradox, the experience of growing up with many of the privileges that come with whiteness.
When they leave that sort of smaller network and enter school or move out of the family home later in life, suddenly they're confronted with being perceived and treated as a racial minority.
Now what a horrible thing those white parents did to them.
Now this person, Mr. Lee, he's more of a Bruce Lee than a Robert E. Lee, so of course he will know.
Now, the article goes on to say, Adoptive parents' good intentions and honest efforts can fall short, particularly when the conversations are limited to cultural celebrations and discussion about heritage rather than more complex topics, such as systemic racism and the lingering impacts of colonialism, says Professor Lee.
Now, I guess, you know, if you have an adopted child who is Korean or Somali and you haven't sat that child down and given that person an absolute grilling on systemic racism and lingering impacts of colonialism, that's child abuse.
Good grief.
Yeah, what if you don't think there is colonialism in the United States?
But anyway, so should the children be in orphanages instead?
Anyway, Professor Lee has every qualification to lecture white people on how awful they are and how they should behave.
So this is just yet another one of these things.
These white people really think that they are probably full of love and generosity and every desire to do the best thing possible for these adopted children, but WAPO won't let them off the hook.
Of course, you know the most famous example of a transracial adoptee?
Colin Kaepernick.
He was raised by a white family, I believe, in Wisconsin.
That might be the state.
Don't quote me on that.
But then, of course, look what he's done.
He's made a career off of racial resentment and embracing Uh, one aspect of his, uh, of his genetic makeup and attack the people who helped raise him.
And you could say Barack Obama did the same thing.
Barack Obama did the same thing.
He did the same thing.
Not quite in the same way, but he really traded on the fact that he was black and he had all these white people who loved him was never, never enough.
Now, I believe you have a story, a Martin Luther King story for us here.
Yeah.
An unhappy one.
Yeah, this is just a quick, you asked why we weren't going to celebrate what just happened
on what, January 17th, Martin Luther King Day.
Well, here's a story.
So we're going to talk about this story.
Man shot during MLK Day celebration on East Side dies from his injuries.
This is out of San Antonio.
So there's, you know, forget the Alamo, it's MLK Day, we got to celebrate.
A man who was among five people shot during him.
Five people?
Gosh, hold on.
Anyway, a man who was among five people shot during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration
on the East Side has died from his injuries.
Police representative said that he was fatally shot, Johnny Mobley, 61 years old, when someone
opened fire at about 7 p.m.
Monday in the 700 block of Springsdale Boulevard near Interstate 10 and Martin Luther King Jr.
Drive.
I mean, how many stereotypes can we confirm in one story?
But this was an MLK... was this a block party?
I guess it was a block party, yeah.
Two other men, ages 37 and 57, and two women, ages 43 and 33, were also injured.
Now, this actually qualifies as a mass shooting.
A mass shooting, I believe, is four people or more.
Corey Shuler, a spokesperson for SAPD, said around 30 or 60 people were gathered in a parking lot for a peaceful celebration of Martin Luther King Day when a man walked up and opened fire and ran away.
I'm not trying to laugh, I'm sorry.
There's just so many stereotypes being confirmed in this story.
All five victims were taken to area hospitals.
The shooting appears to be random, not targeted, police said, but details are preliminary.
Shooting was not, uh, the shooter was not located.
The organizer of the event, Eugene Thompson, recently told KSAT that the event had always been a fun, family event.
Quote, I would never expect that, especially yesterday, for it means, or what it meant, what the man, King, died for.
And you know, we're doing it to ourselves.
End quote.
And he did say that they don't plan... So I guess it was not a clan, in a hood.
It was not a white guy who did this.
They do plan on having this event.
It won't spoil future events.
on having this event.
It won't it won't it won't spoil future events.
I mean, that's that's just oh, that's just so sad.
Gosh, they're having this MLK event and somebody walks up and sprays the place with gunfire?
There was a Birmingham News article on that same vein, Mr. Taylor, that was written by a black editorial writer in Birmingham.
And he said, to honor MLK Day, we have to stop killing each other.
I mean, this is the same problem that's been going on.
There was a famous Ebony magazine cover story back in the late 70s.
It said, hey, what's up with black-on-black violence?
This has to end!
2020-2022.
Hey, same story.
Gosh.
Well, moving to Canada.
There is a Rembrandt exhibition in the National Gallery of Canada.
And like all things in the Great White North, it's preoccupied with slavery, colonialism, and racism.
And one of the notices that greets people when they walk into this, again, this is a Rembrandt.
It's called a Rembrandt in Amsterdam, but it might as well be slavery around the world.
This is the sign that greets you.
Slavery and colonialism caused immense human suffering and loss of life.
What's this got to do with Rembrandt?
These practices also had other less obvious repercussions.
For instance, while artists flourished in cities such as Amsterdam during the era of slavery, producing a rich culture and leaving wonders to behold centuries later, the opportunity to do the same was stripped from the enslaved.
Although black subjects exist in European art from this period, few artworks were actually created by black diasporic people during this time due to slavery and anti-black racism.
Or it was just co-opted.
Why didn't they just say it was co-opted and a white guy said it was done by him?
What the heck?
Then this guy says, what might have been if chattel slavery had not taken place?
How many master artists were lost during those centuries?
What is this?
This is as if Europe was full of black geniuses.
And because of slavery and racism, they did not have the chance to create all the wonderful old masters we see in museums today, for heaven's sake.
Africa was full of black geniuses.
I'm sorry, you said Europe was full of black geniuses.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe they think Africa was too.
But until white people showed up, they never even had a paintbrush, for heaven's sake.
Really, this is the idea.
Because of slavery, all these black geniuses in Europe were just prevented from creating all those masterpieces.
What might have been if chattel slavery had not taken place?
How many master artists were lost?
At what point, Mr. Taylor, is a disclaimer going to be put on Charles Murray's book, Human Accomplishment, which documents what's happened in the past 600 years and says that exact same disclaimer?
All these people were, you know, this is because of colonialism, white privilege, whatever word you want to use.
I'm sure redlining can be applied to 1492 and Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Exactly.
Redlining.
to 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Exactly, redlining, yes, boy. No, what utter,
utter, utter insanity.
Well, I believe this bit of insanity will bring our podcast to a close.
