Racial Inequities in Traffic Cameras

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| The people who run the internet are trying to make my videos impossible to find. | |
| So, if you like what you see, I hope you'll send the link to a lot of people that you know. | |
| Maybe you've heard of ProPublica. | |
| It's a non-profit news organization, kind of like American Renaissance, but different. | |
| It's got a $30 million budget, $60 million in the bank, and 100 journalists. | |
| Which makes it as big as a major daily. | |
| The two top boys make about $450,000 a year, and six of its editors make between $250,000 and $300,000 a year. | |
| You can make a tax-deductible contribution if you think they aren't paid enough. | |
| These high rollers are hard, hard lefties, with headlines like, What people who live in mostly white towns need to know about history. | |
| ProPublica will tell them. | |
| And did you know that Facebook's secret censorship rules protect white men from hate speech but not black children? | |
| Black men have the shortest lifespans of any Americans. | |
| This theory helps explain why. | |
| You can guess what that theory is. | |
| And here's a story that explains how racist Capitol Police officers let white nationalists storm the building. | |
| And how machines learn to be racist. | |
| You've got to keep an eye on those racist machines. | |
| You know those traffic cameras that catch you speeding or running a red light and send you a traffic ticket in the mail? | |
| Looks like they have learned to be racist. | |
| Just last month, ProPublica told us that Chicago's race-neutral traffic cameras ticket black and Latino drivers the most. | |
| Race-neutral is in quotes. | |
| ProPublica looked through millions of automatic traffic tickets and found that over a period of a couple of years, households in black neighborhoods got four citations while households in white neighborhoods got fewer than two. | |
| Hispanics were in the middle with three. | |
| ProPublica jumped and roared and wriggled but could not come up with any evidence that the cameras can tell black drivers from white drivers. | |
| The article never quite admitted. | |
| That you get a ticket if you drive badly and that blacks and Hispanics are worse drivers. | |
| It did concede, though, that blacks die in traffic crashes at twice the rate of whites and that setting up cameras reduces traffic accidents. | |
| But that is not to deny the racial inequities baked into the camera program. | |
| Baked in! | |
| These cameras are saving black and Hispanic lives, but ProPublica says they've got to go because they catch and find BIPOCs more than they catch and find whites. | |
| ProPublica even dug up someone named Olatunji Oboi-Reed, who explained that the root cause of traffic violence in our society that is disproportionately impacting black and brown people is structural racism, and those cameras are part of it. | |
| The article has a dire warning. | |
| Racism could spread because elected officials and others are pointing to cameras as a race-neutral alternative to potentially biased and, for many black men, fatal police traffic stops. | |
| Fortunately, there are alert olatungis everywhere who are stopping racism in its tracks. | |
| ProPublica points out that Miami and Rochester, New York, got rid of their cameras because they were racist. | |
| It says racial justice advocates have turned on Washington, D.C. ever since a think tank found that predominantly black neighborhoods in D.C. bear the brunt of automated traffic enforcement. | |
| This is a classic pattern. | |
| Establish rules. | |
| Blacks and Hispanics then break the rules. | |
| That proves the rules were racist. | |
| Get rid of the rules. | |
| This has been going on for years in public transport. | |
| People arrested for fare beating or turnstile jumping are overwhelmingly black and Hispanic. | |
| And so, transit systems from California to New York decriminalized fare beating. | |
| Now, if police bother to stop you at all, you get a ticket, not an arrest. | |
| And if you don't pay, no one cares. | |
| And because it costs nothing to ride, bums have started living in subway trains. | |
| San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Portland also decriminalized what they called Crimes of poverty because non-whites were arrested for them more often than whites. | |
| The result? | |
| Vagrancy, public defecation, aggressive panhandling and prostitution all over downtown and tent city slums. | |
| San Francisco has safe sleeping spaces for bums and addicts. | |
| The city feeds them and, believe it or not, gives them drugs. | |
| No wonder this homeless San Francisco man says he came to city for drugs. | |
| This former Texas man says he even got a free cell phone. | |
| And of course, San Francisco won't enforce the law against even the most brazen shoplifters, because that hurts black and brown people too. | |
| Thank you. | |
| you. | |
| Last month, the New York Post ran a story about yet another San Francisco Rite Aid that closed because shoplifters cleaned out the shelves. | |
| Who should notice this eye-opening story but Naib Bukele, the president of El Salvador? | |
| Is there a deliberate plan to destroy the United States from within, he wanted to know? | |
| It does make you wonder when people from El Salvador think we're becoming a third-world country. | |
| Last year, Philadelphia discovered that racial disparity does exist in certain types of car and pedestrian stops. | |
| So the city decided to rethink what it calls quality-of-life crimes. | |
| They won't be crimes at all in the heavily black 14th Police District unless a policeman comes along and politely asks the perp to stop. | |
| Here are the fun things you can now do. | |
| Drink, litter, gamble, defecate, trespass, block traffic, make deafening noises, and turn tricks. | |
| You and your client can have at it on the sidewalk. | |
| All this because of those pesky racial disparities in who breaks the law. | |
| Here's a headline for you. | |
| In Michigan, you get two more years on your sentence if you carry a gun when you commit a crime, but horrors. | |
| 80% of the people serving additional time are black. | |
| So this nice white lady, Carol Seaman, won't enforce that law. | |
| Why stop there? | |
| Murder, robbery, aggravated assault. | |
| Black people are up to 15 times more likely than white people to do those things. | |
| So the laws are obviously racist. | |
| Empty the jails. | |
| Here's a different example from just this month. | |
| VMI will change honor system that expels black cadets at disproportionate rates. | |
| You see, you can be expelled from the Virginia Military Institute if you violate the honor code. | |
| Blacks are just 6% of the cadets, but are 43% of those who break the code and are expelled. | |
| That means a black cadet is 11.8 times more likely than one who isn't black to get the boot. | |
| Clearly, the problem is racism, not black behavior. | |
| We can't expect blacks to live up to nasty 183-year-old white standards, so VMI will make it harder to expel rule-breakers. | |
| Jamaica Love, VMI's brand-new chief diversity officer, will keep tabs on the new defanged honor system to make sure it's not racist. | |
| And, of course, math is racist because white and yellow people are better at it than black and brown people. | |
| The state of Oregon adopted this manual on dismantling racism in mathematics instruction. | |
| As this section points out, white supremacy culture shows up in the classroom when the focus is on getting the right answer. | |
| The whole manual is full of loony stuff. | |
| Needless to say, America's gifted education programs have a race problem. | |
| Can it be fixed? | |
| Short answer, no. | |
| And now... | |
| We're on to dismantling white supremacy in public libraries. | |
| We must stop fining people who don't return books because certain people are more likely to keep books out for too long. | |
| And I assume you know that standardized tests are white supremacist, which is why black and brown people get lower scores. | |
| And that is why dismantling white supremacy includes ending racist tests like the SAT and ACT. | |
| Hundreds of colleges now don't want to see test scores from applicants. | |
| They want diverse students, and they know they can't get them unless they lower the standards. | |
| Once they get rid of standardized tests, they can let in all the BIPOCs they want and pretend they were just as qualified. | |
| Where do we stop? | |
| Cities are already making themselves unlivable. | |
| Why not the whole country? | |
| The idea of the civil rights movement was that once they had legal equality, blacks would rise to the level of whites. | |
| They can't. | |
| So they didn't. | |
| Our foolish rulers now claim that the problem was the standards that we'd always expected whites to live by. | |
| Don't shoplift. | |
| Obey the honor code. | |
| Get the right answer. | |
| Buy a subway ticket. | |
| Return library books. | |
| Reward effort. | |
| Hire the best. | |
| That's all racist now. | |
| That's got to go. | |
| And what happens when black behavior becomes the standard? | |
| You can coast for a while. | |
| On the rules white people set up for themselves. | |
| But who wants to be the last chump to pay for groceries when everybody else is shoplifting? | |
| That way lies Haiti. | |
| Even people in El Salvador can see it. | |
