Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and today is March 23rd, Year of Our Lord 2022.
I am, of course, accompanied by my indispensable, irreplaceable co-host, Mr. Paul Kersey.
Always a delight to have him with me.
And we will begin with a few questions and comments from listeners.
And this is one of the most difficult questions we have ever had to bring up.
And it is, how do you cultivate a pro-white community in this day and age of the internet?
Every major website one can communicate through will ban you on site for even hinting at wanting to do this.
How can it be done?
It's a very tough question.
A very tough question to answer, I should say.
I know of communities, and they exist in several places in the United States, but they have been put together through informal contacts.
They're very careful about vetting.
They don't advertise, because if they advertised, there would always be the possibility that spies or people who think ill of us would want to join and wreck it.
For years I have been proposing to my staff that we put up some kind of bulletin board, just a public bulletin board, and say I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, any comrades in the neighborhood, and then caveat emptor, everybody's free white and 21, they can vet people as best they can, but my staff always convinces me that you'd have some Not exactly a digital age boomer who's not very good at covering his tracks.
Get hatcheted to death by Antifa or whatever it is.
So we've never done that.
But there is a crying need for white people to get together in real life.
None of this keyboard stuff.
But I can't give you a good answer.
If you can start a community, you have to have people that you can trust.
You make a network and they slowly branch out and find friends.
I have nothing else to add.
These things do exist, but they don't advertise because they know it's dangerous to do so.
Do you have any ideas on that?
I have nothing else to add.
I think what they pointed out is correct.
Big tech is gonna do everything they can to boot you off if you have the slightest whiff.
I mean, look at it this way.
They're now banning people who point out that biology, sexual biology is real from Twitter.
Tucker Carlson today, Mr. Taylor.
It took you, what, was this five years ago you were banned?
Six years ago?
Well, about 2017.
Okay.
So yeah, I mean, again, that should tell you where we fall in this hierarchy of... Well, the point is, you could build a website that said, I don't know, Charlotte, North Carolina, white folks.
And make a portal and people can register.
It's just that it would probably not be taken down, but you'd have a hard time advertising it.
And the trouble is it could very well be a gateway for spies and people who think it's a very tough thing to do.
Every other group, every other race, any other affinity group, fine.
Not for us.
We spoke a couple years ago about some group trying to create a Wakanda in Georgia.
Remember they were buying up farmland?
I haven't heard much about it since.
Well, it's on the other side of the force field.
You wouldn't know, Whitey.
Another question here.
I grew up brainwashed.
Is there more information on when Jared Taylor became a race realist in Africa?
Well, I've told this story many times, so maybe I'll tell it again.
But when I was traveling in West Africa, I went overland from Ivory Coast, which is doing pretty well, to Liberia, which was a mess.
And it's still a mess.
At the time, Ivory Coast had a great deal of assistance from the French.
They had French coopérants, as they call them, cooperators, and who helped in all levels of government.
They had a lot of French investment.
And I asked a young Liberian, well, golly, how come your next door neighbor is doing so well and you are not?
And he said, no, the answer to that is simple.
Ivory Coast had the benefit of being colonized by white people.
And at the time, this is in 1970, I was not even 20 years old.
I was shocked by this. I, of course, thought that colonization was this horrible,
exploitative experience, but this guy set me on the right path.
When you asked this question, had you been made aware of the history of Liberia?
Oh, I knew a little bit about it, yes.
I knew when he said, I knew very well that Liberia was founded by freed blacks, that it had never been colonized by Europeans.
And for him, but for him to put it as bluntly as that, we didn't have the benefit of being colonized by white people.
Is the capital still Monrovia?
It sure is, they haven't changed its name.
Okay, interesting.
Yeah, maybe they'll call it Who knows.
George Floyd.
In any case, then let's see.
Here is another question.
What are some of Jared Taylor's and Paul Kersey's favorite museums?
I can answer that question.
I have a couple of favorite museums.
I really do love the Chicago Art Institute.
It's a wonderful collection.
Whenever I'm in Chicago, it doesn't happen as often as it used to, I make a bean line to that place.
I also like the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia.
It is a regional museum, but really, really quite top flight place.
And then, and this is not an easy place to get to, especially in this time of war, but the Hermitage in St.
Petersburg.
Not only does it have a marvelous, marvelous art collection, but it is in a beautiful palace.
I don't believe I've ever seen such magnificent interiors.
And then the galleries are wonderful.
The Hermitage is a marvelous, marvelous place.
And the floor is yours!
Well, I would go with the Udvar-Azy Air and Space Museum, which is located in Northern Virginia, not far from the Dulles International Airport.
Basically, you get to see just this unbelievable explosion in innovation over a span of about 100 years.
A collection of aircraft.
A collection of the best aircraft.
I think the Discovery Space Shuttle, that's where it's housed.
You've got an SR-71 Blackbird, you have all sorts of planes from World War II, the Great War, Vietnam, you have MiGs.
It's just incredible to be in there and I've had the opportunity to be there many times.
But the one that I actually think is quite If you go, be careful because it's in one of America's most dangerous cities, but the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a breathtaking museum.
Yes, yes.
I was there one time in 2007, maybe 2008, and they had just this fantastic exchange from a museum in Cairo.
All sorts of, they might still have, I don't know, but just ancient Egyptian artifacts.
And I'd also echo what you said, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art is It houses the world's largest collection of Fabergé eggs, which I'm surprised there hasn't been some pro-Ukrainian hack since they were all owned by Tsar Nicholas, who was murdered by the Bolsheviks.
Oh, someone will go smash them pretty soon.
That's a great museum, though.
And I have a correction to make.
I asked you, did you realize that Jussie Smollett had a brother named Jackie, which is spelled J-A-C-Q-I.
I was wrong.
It is Jockey.
The name is Jockey.
J-O-C-K-Q-I, I believe, or something.
In any case, it's Jockey with a J-O.
So, I'm correcting myself on that one.
I haven't had to be called to line on one of our sharp-eared listeners.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I want you to start the week's news with this remarkable story about school discipline in Washington State.
I will, I will.
This was one that, this is part of that whole critical race theory, which again, What is critical race theory?
I think this story just tells us what it's all about and I'll just read the headline real quick.
School board in Washington State adopts race based discipline system.
White students get harsher punishments for same offenses as non-whites.
Fair enough.
You want equity?
That's how you do it.
If not enough white kids are disobeying and not living up to the standards governing civilized behavior in school, guess what?
The ones who do get out of line, they need to be punished far more harshly.
Well, that's because they've had all these privileges.
Exactly.
I wonder if there's going to be a codification, you know?
Same crime, I don't know, suspension of three days for whitey, suspension of one day for blacky.
I wonder how it's going to work.
The Clover Park School District debated its new culturally responsive student discipline policy.
It means student discipline would not be consistent based on conduct.
Instead, a school considers a student's race and background.
It would likely offer harsher punishments to white students Even if the conduct, as stated, is identical to that of a Black or Hispanic student.
Well, there you go.
It's consistent.
That's how you root out entrenched white racism.
Joe Biden would be proud.
Disparate impact has to be fixed somehow.
Here we go.
Disparate treatment is championed in the name of inclusion, but it's not just a Clover Park School District controversy.
The culturally responsive policy impacts every Washington school district after Democrats passed a law institutionalizing critical race theory in student discipline.
So now this is in, I'm going to say Washington, probably what, about 78% white, the state.
Probably.
We might be wrong, ladies and gentlemen.
That's close enough.
It's majority white anyway.
So the Clover Park School Board adopted revised student discipline policy by a vote of 3-2.
At times, the meeting was contentious as two board members argued, hey, it's wrong to use race to determine punishment.
Well, hold on here.
Is this for the entire state or just this one school district?
Well, the entire state has passed because it's controlled by Democrats.
And so what this piece is arguing is that this is critical race theory.
To its logical conclusion.
So if the state is mandating it, so two of the five board members argued, no, this is insane.
This is this is it's wrong to use race to determine punishment.
The district, however, is majority minority with only 28% of the students as Caucasian.
Well, I'll tell you, once they start doing this, it's going to be even fewer white folks.
Exactly.
They want to get rid of them, that's how to do it.
So according to the policy, disruptive students may face exclusionary as well as positive and supportive forms of discipline.
But the focus the policy maintains is to keep students in the classroom and provide equitable educational opportunities.
So it doesn't matter how bad they are and disruptive.
If they're non-white, they've got to stay in the classroom.
White kid, get them out.
Let's make an example of them, I guess.
I guess, I guess.
To make student discipline outcomes more equitable, Mr. Taylor, the policy must meet, quote, individual student needs in a culturally responsive manner via culturally responsive discipline.
Let me see if I can find this one line.
There was a great line about stealing.
Well, yeah.
One guy was explaining it.
If in my household it's okay to steal, then if I come to school and I steal a piece of pizza, I should be punished differently from a household in which it's not okay to steal.
Yeah, it was by board member Anthony Valise, who offered a clumsy example.
Stealing a pizza.
He said, quote, what if, you know, just saying, like in my background, what if that type of rule that we broke was more acceptable at my house, right?
Versus your house.
And you know, when I'm talking to them, like, hey, you know what?
Actually, I thought it was okay.
I thought it was fine to grab the piece of pizza before everybody else.
Because in my house, I'm allowed to do that, right?
You know, that's so funny.
Somebody's gonna say, what a stereotype!
What a negative stereotype!
Are you trying to reinforce stereotypes?
I know one of the stories we're going to get to in a little bit out of Arkansas, but we'll get to that.
But no, this is the stuff that we know is animating.
We saw this big time in the Virginia Governor's race.
We're seeing this all across the country.
I know Ryan Gerduski has a PAC where he actually goes trying to fund school board races, Mr. Taylor, where people are addressing this issue.
This is a winning issue.
This is the one subject on which whites are preferred to stand up and defend their own interests.
Amazing.
And apparently the city of Miami Beach is at least trying to defend itself.
Miami Beach officials declared a state of emergency on Monday and an upcoming curfew.
This is an attempt to curb violence at spring break that saw five people wounded in two separate shootings over the weekend.
A curfew for the South Beach area started early Thursday after midnight and runs through the weekend.
This is the second year in a row officials for the South Florida City have declared a state of emergency.
The mayor said that about a hundred guns have been seized over the past four weeks, and several police officers have been injured controlling crowds.
Now, the five people were shot over the weekend despite 371 officers being deployed.
That seems like a lot for a relatively small town, but Efforts to curb excessive drinking, violence, dine and dash, noise, have raised complaints about... Hold your breath boys and girls.
They've raised complaints about racism.
Racism.
That's because more than a thousand people were arrested last March when the city imposed an 8 p.m.
curfew.
Authorities at that time sent military-style vehicles to disperse predominantly black crowds with rubber bullets.
When does the curfew start?
from black activists. As usual, when black people fail to abide by the rules, then you have to change
the rules. Enforcing the rules is racist and we know where that leads. When does the curfew start?
What time? It starts at, let's see, what did it say? 8?
8 p.m.?
That's, uh, that was really gonna, it's gonna cramp the style.
That's, uh, that's definitely sundown, I would say.
I know, I beg your pardon, after midnight.
That's not good enough.
Yes, after midnight.
That's not good enough there, Miami.
No?
Get your act together, PD, in the city.
So last year, that's right, last year, the city imposed an 8 p.m.
curfew.
There you go.
That's really taking, and arrested a thousand people.
That's more than practically any city could manage during the BLM riots.
I don't think any city actually arrested probably a tenth of that number, nor even thought about instituting a curfew during that orgy of violence.
But this is something they get every year, every year.
They're really sick of it.
Now, I saw a remarkable headline and I thought, wow, this is truth in journalism.
Listen to this headline.
Mom of young thug's child shot dead after a fight over bowling ball.
Mom of Young Thug's Child.
Was Young Thug capitalized?
Alas, it was.
But this is a headline, you see.
I thought, ah, the papers are finally calling a spade a spade.
But no, no.
The article goes on to say the mother of one of rapper Young Thug's six children.
So, it's a name and not a description.
But I suppose it is likewise.
It's a self-description.
The mother of one of rapper Young Thug's six children has been shot and killed after getting into a fight with a man over a bowling ball at an Atlanta bowling alley.
Family members said that Lakevia Jackson was attending her best friend's birthday party at the Metro Fun Center.
Okay.
And had lots of Metro fun.
And this is in Atlanta, Georgia?
In Atlanta, Georgia.
The Black Mecca.
The Black Mecca, but she got into an argument with a man over a bowling ball.
Well, about 20 minutes later at 1130 p.m., La Kevia was leaving the venue when the man with whom she had quarreled ambushed her in the parking lot and shot her multiple times before fleeing.
It must have been a gold-plated bowling ball.
In any case, La Cavea and Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams, share a 14-year-old son named Kevian Jackson.
The rapper has six children, three sons and three daughters by four different women.
That's one form of reproductive success.
In any case, I was very disappointed that Young Thug was not a description, it was the name.
Now, this leads to another little item from the rap world on the subject of how the other half lives, Mr. Kersey.
Baby Cino, that's spelled C-I-N-O.
Maybe he's an Italian African-American.
Maybe it's pronounced Chino.
I don't know.
An aspiring rapper from Miami was shot and killed minutes after being released from jail on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old rapper, whose real name is Timothy Starks, had been released from the big house after being arrested on a gun charge, picked up in a red Nissan, which was riddled with at least 40 shots from another car as they entered Palmetto Expressway during rush hour.
Okay.
Just minutes after leaving the big house.
Wow.
Somebody retaliation.
I guess so.
He must have snitched on someone in the big house, or?
Don't know, don't know.
Somebody stepped on his shoe.
His friend, Dante Collins Bank, likewise 20, who had picked Starks up from jail, was best known for his song, Big Haiti Shottas.
Well, he was also shot in the abdomen and treated at a local hospital.
Now tell me, Mr. Curtis, is this what they call life in the fast lane?
I think maybe so.
Dead at age 20 minutes after you get out of jail?
Does it say what he was in jail for?
A gun charge.
A gun charge.
So, live by the gun, die by the gun.
Well, Mr. Kersey, we do take a light-hearted and perhaps irreverent tone to some of these stories, but this next story really is heartbreaking.
I mean, we, uh, the stuff, these violence interrupters, guys who really care about black lives, unlike these celebrities who splash out millions on homes, get billion dollar donations from corporations and claim to think black lives matter.
These guys clearly do.
And then these people you're talking about go and live in some of the whitest areas in the country.
The one woman who bought three houses, one of them.
Petrus, Petrus Cullors, Topanga Canyon.
But no, these are guys who live in the neighborhood who really care about black lives getting shot.
It's really heartbreaking.
It is, it is, it is.
And there's one we're not going to talk about, but in Jackson, Mississippi, you know, this is a city that has a homicide rate, I think they, it's like 14 out of 100,000.
Some activists just started putting up signs all across the city.
If black lives really matter, we have to do something.
Yes, they really do.
And it's like, we have to start talking about who is committing this violence.
So, we get to the story of yet another violence interrupter killed in Baltimore.
Uh, this is the third, uh, third Safe Streets member to be killed over the past year.
This story is from early February 2022.
I had made a note to actually talk about it, but now it seems like a good time.
Uh, Deshaun McGuire is the third Safe Streets member to be killed In just three months?
Or in just two months, I guess?
Well, in a year.
It's saying going back to February 2021.
But still, good grief.
This is really heartbreaking.
Yeah, here's a guy who's worked on the front lines preventing gun violence in Baltimore, Maryland.
He was shot and killed on a Wednesday night in a quadruple shooting on East Monument Street.
He had worked as a violence interrupter for Safe Streets, and like we said, a third member of the organization would be shot and killed in less than a year.
Deshaun was passionate about his community and was working hard to make that community safer for his family, friends, and neighbors said Meg Ward, the Vice President of Strategic Growth and Community Partnerships at Living Classrooms, a nonprofit that operates 10 safe street sites in the city.
He was a son, a father, a partner, a brother, and a devoted and present father to his child.
So just to wrap it up, I mean, again, 725 on a Wednesday night.
725 p.m.
Does it appear that somebody was shooting at him, or he was in the crossfire, or is it really hard to tell?
No, it's quite... yeah, I'll read it.
According to Ward, McGuire was having a conversation with the other two victims while working his post on Monument Street when the shooting happened.
Apparently, a tow truck came around the corner and they just shot up the block.
Baltimore Police identified a 28-year-old and a 24-year-old suspects, both black.
I'm sorry, as victims.
Multiple people were shot, but they don't have anybody arrested at this time, as is the case when Baltimore has a clearance rate, Mr. Taylor, of under 45%.
Yeah, these are really horrible stories.
In any case, we can move on to the House of Representatives, the United States Congress, which just approved the Crown Act.
Crown.
That stands for creating a respectful and open world for natural hair.
Oh, great!
Natural hair.
You don't have to have a perm.
Now, 14 Republicans joined all 221 Democrats.
Only 14.
I'm out.
I'm all for natural hair.
And President Biden has expressed support.
However, they are sending it to an uncertain fate in the Senate because apparently senators are not in favor of respectful and open world for natural hair.
What, Mr. Kersey, is natural hair?
I believe it only speaks to BIPOCs.
White people don't have natural hair.
Well, the odd thing is, if you read the text of the law, what this law does is protect against discrimination people who have natural or protective hairstyles.
Hairstyles is not natural hair.
In which hair is tightly coiled or tightly curled or worn in locks, spelled L-O-C-S, Cornrows, twists, braids, bantu knots, or afros.
Now that seems like very unnatural hair to me.
Some of these African hairdos are about as weird and as unnatural as you can imagine, but so basically this is a protection against any kind of crazy, weird, wild hairdo that blacks want to have.
And this was the lead sponsor, it was Rep Bonnie Watson Coleman, Democrat of New Jersey, and she says, There are folks in this society who think because your hair is kinky, or braided, or in knots, or is not straightened, blonde, and light brown, that you somehow are not worthy of access.
Now what she meant by worthy of access, I'm not sure.
You're not worthy of being accessed?
Worthy of access in any case.
Well, I don't think anybody in the world thinks that your hair has to be straight, blonde, and light brown in order to be worthy of access.
No, nobody thinks that.
I mean, my wife's hair is dark and curled, so gosh, I guess she would be discriminated against by some people, according to her.
She had no access.
She's not worthy of access.
So the Crown Act actually helps her out.
I guess it will.
Yes, she can just wear her natural, natural hair.
Now, several states have already passed similar measures aimed at banning race-based discrimination over hair in employment, housing, education, and the military.
Senator Cory Booker says this.
No one should be harassed, punished, or fired for their natural hairstyles that are true to themselves and their cultural heritage.
But he's not talking about natural hair at all.
That's the whole thing.
Have you seen some?
Do you know what bantu knots are?
I know what they are, yeah.
Yeah, well good for you.
I mean these sort of spiky weird things.
They look even stranger than cornrows.
But if you're black and you can claim that somewhere, somebody in Africa wears their hair in this weird, bearded, waxed up, wired up way, then you're home free, even if you're supposed to be driving a tank or Humvee, I suppose, in the military too.
Wear your hair any way you like.
So, there you go.
But it's an uncertain fate in the bigoted white number.
I'm sure, I'm sure, Senator.
Mitt Romney will vote for it.
Uh-huh, very well.
Now, do you know the expression Damnatio Memoriae?
Uh, Memory of the Damned?
No, no, it's the damnation of one's memory.
Damnation of one's memory.
Okay.
They used to do this, the Romans used to do this.
If you turned out to be a bad guy, you turned out to be an Elagabalus or a Caligula or somebody, then they would carve your name off the statues and pull them down.
The ancient Egyptians would do that too, you know, if you turned out to be, they decided you were a bad guy.
Akhenaten.
The guy who started Tell El Amarna and a new religion.
The old religion came back and they pulled down his monuments and shaved his name off the... In any case, Dom Natio Memoriae.
This is what occurred to me when I was reading the news about the 87 candidates that have made the cut for renaming the nine military installations that honor Confederate figures.
Oh, I forgot that was...
Oh, they're all gone.
Well, they're not gone yet.
The Pentagon has narrowed its list of recommendations from the more than 34,000 that it received from the public.
34,000 different recommendations.
And the final recommendation will go to Congress by October 1st, and the Commission said it visited the military installations and met with military and community leaders last year to learn their preferences for new names.
Oh my gosh.
Now, I'd like to know, did anyone say, well, I'd like Fort Nathan Bedford Forest?
Probably not.
Or did anyone say, well, I like the old name.
Was that allowed?
I suspect not.
In any case, Fort Gordon outside Augusta, Georgia was named after John Gordon, a Corps commander under Robert E. Lee.
Fort Benning was named after General Henry Benning.
So the candidates for some of these are, believe it or not, there are some white folks.
Dwight Eisenhower.
Fort Dwight Eisenhower.
George C. Marshall.
But then, you know, those guys are just up for window dressing.
I suspect there won't be a Fort Eisenhower or Marshall.
Colin Powell's on the list.
Oh, he's a shooting.
And Harriet Tubman.
Come on.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I mean, she was a lady soldier, remember?
She's credited with leading some sort of scouting attack on Confederates.
Yes, Harriet herself, gun-wielding Harriet.
Now, she's among the 87 candidates, along with Sergeant First Class Alwyn Cash, who last year became the first African-American recipient of the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan.
We've got one now, so I think they should name a whole fort after him.
Then, of course, there is Henry Flipper.
He was the first black man to graduate from the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point.
We don't know what else he did after that, but he was the first to graduate.
Why not just rename West Point after him?
Ah, great idea.
And then there's Private Felix Hall, a black soldier who was lynched at Fort Benning.
Oh, that's gotta be the name of the fort.
Can you imagine that?
Naming a fort after a guy who was lynched at that fort.
Isn't that inspiring?
Do we know why he was... You know, I thought about looking into that.
I should have taken the time to find out.
I suspect he was not a Sterling character.
But I don't know, why can't they name one Camp George and another one Camp Floyd?
You know, cover two bets with one name.
Well, why not?
We already have Ahmaud Arbery Day in Georgia.
Why not just rename Fort Benning after Ahmaud Arbery or the one outside of Savannah?
Why not?
Why not?
Those Confederates, Damnatio Memoriae.
Then you go, what is it, every February 22nd you have to run 2.3, 2.23 miles?
Yes, that's right.
So that way every day at that fort, on that armory, you have to run that.
Everybody goes jogging.
Yeah.
If you do that many push-ups, that many standing squats.
Yes, 2.23 push-ups.
2.23 pushups. Yeah, that's about most. No, 223. Okay. Now, speaking of, speaking of Harriet
Tubman. Now, from the TV station in the Maryland TV station, WRDE, listen to this. Governor
Larry Hogan today officially proclaimed 2022 as the year of Harriet Tubman in Maryland
as the state celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the nation's most renowned
freedom fighter.
you Did you know that Harriet Tubman was the nation's most renowned freedom fighter?
This is news to me.
Yeah, well, she's on the $20 bill soon.
Not yet, not yet.
Well, I'll tell you about the $20 bill.
I looked into that too.
Peaked my curiosity.
I was reminded.
The government announced the designation at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park and Visitor Center As the kickoff of a full weekend of 200th birthday event celebrating the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad.
Now, which is she?
The most famous conductor of the railroad or the nation's most renowned freedom fighter?
Well, I guess WRDETV thinks she is both.
In any case, this is what the governor said.
It's truly inspiring to think about how we can walk along the same path she did.
Where she forged her indelible legacy of freedom.
That's why people go to Israel.
They call it the Holy Land, to walk where Jesus walked.
Well, do you realize that you can have an equally reverential experience right across the state line from American Renaissance World Headquarters?
You can walk where Harriet Tubman walked, and maybe we can from now on be called Maryland Holy Land.
Is there an actual source that this actually happened in Maryland?
Is there a primary source or is there a secondary source?
No, apparently the Underground Railroad had these safe houses.
Run by white people, of course.
Of course.
And these safe houses, we know where they were.
And so these were stations along the Underground Railroad.
So, yes, the Holy Feet actually stepped in these places.
Do we know how many safe houses there were?
Not, I don't know.
I don't know.
You're asking me questions that I... I'm just curious, because there's always some of the story that just smells... it doesn't smell... No, I think there's no question.
We know where some of these places were.
Okay.
We do know this.
And this isn't all just hokeyed up.
I mean, a lot of it's probably hokeyed up.
Oh, you know, after all the stuff we're seeing about Russia and Ukraine, I have a hard time believing anything, especially a story that so fits a narrative of trying to recast American history as, you know, again, I'm sure in some time period in the future, unless things change, Children are going to be taught that Harriet Tubman was the inventor of the American Railroad.
She's the one who personally laid all the tracks that connected the East with the West.
No, no, the Underground Railroad, that's the Broadway line in New York City.
It's underground, Mr. Kersey.
She invented it.
That's what I thought when I heard about it.
Well, there you go.
Now, the Tubman $20 bill, yes, yes, yes.
Now, you've been wondering, I wake up probably about every other morning and wonder, when am I going to get my first $20 Tubman bill?
It was, after all, announced in 2016 by the Obama administration, and his Secretary of the Treasury promised us one by 2020.
Where's my $20 bill?
Well, it will most likely be 2030 before a Tubman bill enters circulation.
Do you know why?
Is it a white supremacist plot to keep it out of your eager hands?
Supply chain problems.
No, I would never have guessed this.
Apparently, it can take decades for the United States to redesign a banknote.
The $20 billed redesign has been planned since 2013.
That's years before the Obama administration even talked about Tubman.
They were working on the redesign.
Why does it take so long?
Let me enlighten you.
Bills would undergo major redesigns to add new security features to prevent counterfeiting.
You're a fan of the Reacher Show.
You know all about counterfeiting U.S.
currency.
Well, it is not that easy to do, but they want to make it harder and harder.
Now, see, that timeline, even 2030, is optimistic because it assumes no new counterfeit threats or technology issues suddenly crop up and delay the process.
Now, the $100 bill that was released in 2013, it took more than a decade to redesign it after its previous redesign in 1996.
Now, the $100 bill was top priority because it's the most widely used American bill outside the U.S., and so it was really the one that they had to get to first.
But don't expect to have your very own Harriet in the palm of your hand Until at least 2030.
I'm sorry to disappoint you and all of our e-girls holding their breath listening.
It would be interesting if, you know, because Trump delayed it, right?
Trump said he was not doing this.
No, he had no power to delay it.
It was already being delayed.
There's no way.
In other words, the guy who said we're going to get it by 2020, he was just blowing smoke.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Yeah, because there's been no design?
Okay, interesting.
No, no.
And they say, in fact, they never release a design more than six months before the actual bill hits the streets because they don't want counterfeiters to get an idea of what it's going to look like.
So there you go.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I understand Home Depot is making the world safe for BIPOCs.
Yeah, you know, Home Depot.
It's based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Global headquarters.
Home Depot hammered for shaming employees for their white privilege.
This is from the Increasingly relevant New York Post, which their coverage of an issue that we really don't care about was just proven to be valid.
That's right.
Hunter Biden stuff.
Anyways, so this story is just as valid.
A Canadian branch of Home Depot sparked outrage after it posted a notice to employees about the benefits of white privilege and included a checklist for those who are white, male, Christian, cisgender, able-bodied, and heterosexual.
Sure, in this part of Canada, that's pretty much all the employees of Home Depot.
The notice, which is titled, Leading Practices, Unpacking Privilege, was posted in the Employee Lounge at Home Depot in Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary, Alberta.
Yeah, probably not too many BIPOCs.
Nope, not too many there.
A spokeswoman from Home Depot's U.S.
headquarters in Atlanta confirmed to The post, a white privilege notice, was material from its Canadian division.
She said it hadn't been approved by the company's diversity and inclusion department, but I'm sure they're already copying it and eagerly faxing it or emailing it to all supervisors at locations across the globe.
Flyer had a Home Depot logo at the top.
Canadian staffers were apparently given the learning material or encouraged to acknowledge, quote, societal privileges that benefit White people beyond what is commonly experienced by people of color under the same social, political, and economic circumstances.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Well, Home Depot is going to be safe for non-whites.
And, hoping to celebrate Christmas, the flyer says, if you expect time off from work to celebrate your religious holidays, you have Christian privilege.
Christian privilege.
Onward Christian privilege.
People were asked to check a box determining what privilege they had and their score.
The choices were white, male, class, Christian, cisgender, able-bodied, and heterosexual.
Mr. Tell, you and I both like to work out.
There have now been articles attacking those who are obsessed with fitness and staying in shape.
This is like the next realm of the far right.
Oh, that's racist.
People who are tracking things using digital means to keep track of their gains, to keep track of how much they're lifting, if they're seeing gains on the bench, the squat, power cleans, deadlifts, that kind of stuff.
That's racist?
That's far right.
Oh, far right.
Well, of course, obviously anything that's racist.
Well, okay.
I guess I get further and further right all the time, but it's nice to be right.
Well, the main thing is Home Depot said, like, you know, we fully support diversity, but the material was not created or approved by our Corporate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Department.
Of course, D-I-E, D-E-I, whatever you want to call it, this is all part of the ESG kind of remaking of corporate finance and governance.
And, you know, it's taking over everywhere, Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Bye-bye, white folks.
Well, Mr. Kurz, you've heard of birth tourism.
Well, there are more kinds of tourism.
You know, these are the people who show up in the United States, pop out a child, and automatically have a United States citizen as a child.
Well, police in two affluent Silicon Valley suburbs have blamed a recent spate of burglaries on South American criminal tourists who entered the United States specifically to steal.
Nice.
Officers in Hillsborough, California said criminal tourism has become very prevalent with many sophisticated burglary crews coming from South America.
The claims come amid a string of high-profile burglaries and robberies in the San Francisco Bay Area, many of which have been blamed on organized theft rings hailing from abroad.
They often come legally.
Okay.
Now, what they do, once they arrive, groups will acquire vehicles by either renting or buying a slightly used luxury vehicle.
So, these are not pantyhanty folks.
So, they want a slightly used luxury vehicle to blend into their target communities.
Groups will then travel around the nation to different rich areas to commit burglaries.
They often rotate members out of the country in a matter of weeks.
So, I guess you want small valuable stuff.
Jewelry is probably what they're going for.
So, now you've had birth tourism, burglary tourism.
What else?
What else?
You know, the most common really is welfare tourism.
Happens all the time.
A thousand people cross the border every day looking for welfare tourism.
And then, you know, I would say there's white privilege tourism.
White privilege tourism.
That's because they get to live in a country that their ancestors could never have built.
White privilege tourism, you know?
We should be flattered.
And then there's the police.
You don't have to bribe tourism.
Boy, it just goes on and on.
But burglary tourism is joint birth tourism.
Of course, you go to San Francisco.
There's the story not to pay for any goods tourism.
Exactly.
You just walk in and say, yeah, I'm going to fill it up and a hundred thousand bucks.
I'm good.
Can't stop me.
Why bother to go burgle a home, you know?
There might be an armed occupant in it.
But now here's an interesting story.
Hundreds of donated bulletproof vests bound for Ukraine to help protect those fighting the Russian invasion were stolen from a New York City non-profit.
Yes, the tactical vests donated by local law enforcement were taken overnight.
Approximately 400 bulletproof vests were stolen.
Surveillance footage shows three vans pulling up outside the building which houses the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and the Ukrainian National Women's League.
Several hooded men are seen carrying out the boxes.
These were decommissioned vests that had been used for five years.
However, officials said that they were still useful enough to offer protection in the war.
That's an odd thing about these bulletproof vests.
You know, they have these materials inside.
Apparently, they decay over time unless they're the metal plate type or the ceramic type that slip into these pockets.
But the lighter weight ones, they will, after a certain period of time, they won't stop a bullet, but I guess after five years, the police decommission them, but I guess they're better than nothing.
In any case, I don't like the idea of bulletproof vests on the loose in New York City.
No, no.
On the other hand, they can be bought legally by anybody.
You don't have to have a permit to buy bulletproof vests.
The minigun shows where they're available to purchase.
Yes, and you don't see the boys in the hood running around with vests in the hood, so be that as it may.
Here was a lesson, an interesting lesson in economics that took place at the Van Buren Street station in downtown Chicago.
A train was arriving and a conductor was standing on the platform.
Not like underground robo-conductor?
I think this is a commuter, this is a commuter line, a commuter line.
And Zion Brown, age 18, one of our African-American fellow citizens, got off the train, pulled out a semi-automatic handgun, robbed the conductor of all his cash in his wallet, and was on the lam until later that night when his mama recognized him through news coverage.
And he said, Junior, come with me.
And drove him down to the Calumet City Police Department to surrender.
Good for her.
Good for her.
Usually, Mama says, My baby!
No!
No way!
No way!
That's what they usually say.
But no, she said that she's going to haul him in.
That young fella is going to be protected by me.
Ah, yes.
Yes.
Well, turns out, now this is the interesting part of it.
I mean, I say, hats off to Mama.
I think she did a great job.
Somebody like that should have been rear right, it seems to me, but he's a student at Loyola University.
And during a bond court appearance, Zion Brown's defense attorney told the judge that young Zion committed the crime because he was hungry and needed a snack before class.
Well, he was denied bail.
This too is good news, Mr. Kersey.
He was denied bail.
Turns out he is majoring in economics.
And he just learned an important economic principle called cutting out the middleman.
Don't wait for the government to tax white people.
Just collect it yourself.
Cutting out the middleman.
I give him an A. An A on economic principles.
I give you a B on that joke.
That was good.
I still think your great joke would have been, what exactly were they arguing about at the bowling alley?
The whole time we've been talking here, I keep thinking back to this amusement park, whatever it was, this funland in Metro Atlanta.
No, Metro Funland.
Metro Funland.
I think that's what it's called, in Metro Atlanta, a city of which you are proud and fond.
You haven't bowled lately, have you?
I'm sure there's just a... Gosh, I've probably not bowled for 50 years.
You know, you have two lanes, usually.
And they share one of the gutter where they bring the ball back.
And so if you've got a large party, you know, maybe they both have the same ball.
It happens all the time in white communities.
Ah, boy.
Well, they must have been having a ball.
Now, I believe you have the lowdown on the Hudnik Festival.
Yeah, so this weekend there were a number of mass shootings across the country.
There was one in Dallas, a black shooter.
There was one in Milwaukee, a black shooter.
There was one in Norfolk, Virginia, that actually killed a Virginia pilot, a journalist.
Danish tourist.
No, black shooter.
So there were a lot of stories about how many people were shot in these mass shootings, with the largest one being out of Dumas, Arkansas.
And it just simply said, You know, this shooting at this car show was in a lot of the headlines.
Now, in only a few of the stories did it actually have the word The Hudnik Foundation that sponsored this car show.
Now, you can go to, and I recommend everybody who's listening to this story take a moment, go to deltanyo.com.
That's delta, neo, N-E-Y-O.
N-E-Y-O.
That is the Hudnik Foundation, which was established in 2004.
They do scholarships, they do backpack programs.
They're trying to better the black community of Dumas.
Dumas is a majority black city.
They've got tutoring, they have speakers, they have giveaways, they have fundraisers, they have music.
They do a car show, they have cooking competitions.
Well, at this particular event, there was a car show going on.
At the Hoodnick Foundation, which its stated goal is black unity, it's bringing the black community together.
Well, there were 28 people shot and one person died, a guy named Cameron Schaefer, a black guy from Jacksonville, in the parking lot at this event, the car show.
It's a three-day festival in the city.
You know, there's no indication of who actually shot.
They've got, they arrested one person who fit the general description of a suspect.
But again, this is one of those stories.
This was the largest mass shooting.
And I want to say I read somewhere the largest mass shooting with a number of people hit since the shooting in Las Vegas.
And that, of course, was an anomaly that no one even talks about anymore back in, uh, back in, what was that?
Uh, October of 2017.
Um, and then before then, I guess the largest mass shooting had been, uh, one.
Pulp Smoke Club?
Was that, uh?
That or Parkland, I would say.
The high school.
But, but this is one again.
I mean, I, I, I couldn't find, I couldn't find any articles, Mr. Taylor, that, that had, um, A number of casings that they found, but for 28 people to be shot, I can imagine at least five to six times that amount of shots were fired.
You know, again, we're talking about the violence interrupter.
I mean, this is an event that is designed to bring together the black community.
Well, you know, the trouble is, and I hate to say this, when you bring together a large number of members of the black community, this is the sort of thing, alas, that happens.
Yeah.
It's very sad, but true.
So, five children ages 11, 9, 8, 23 months and 19 months.
23 months and 19 months?
Yes, sir.
Stock bullets?
Yeah.
Retrieved and released at an Arkansas children's hospital in Little Rock.
Well, they must not have been badly hit then, treated and released.
Well, you know, I remember seeing the headline for this thing, and I read the first couple of paragraphs trying to figure out what the heck, who, what, how?
This sounded like it had to be black people, I'm sorry to say.
But there were no clues.
A car show in a little town in Arkansas.
I'm thinking, white people shooting?
What is it, 28 people stopped bullets?
28 people?
It just did not sound like white people at all.
But I didn't study any further, and I'm glad that you did get to the bottom of this thing.
Yeah, you can go and you can take a look at the website, and if you go to About, the drop-down box, it's got who are we, what do we do, and you can see that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 11 of the 12 individuals who look like they make a living off of this, this is a non-profit, are black.
So they do have a token white man?
No, they got a token white female.
I'm sure she's married to one of the individuals who puts it on.
Well, actually her surname is not the same as any of the guys.
So again, here's the mass shooting, here's the responsible people behind this unbelievable
rise in gun violence across the country.
We talked last week about the rise of black gun ownership and how NPR lamented, my gosh, is this going to cause more black suicides?
Well, I think the great question should be, is this rise in black gun ownership going to cause more shootings?
I don't think the problem is people going down to the gun store and legally buying.
No, I don't think so either.
That is not the problem.
NPR is the only outfit in the world who is going to worry about that.
But let them worry.
It is enticing how many outlets pick that up, though, that are affiliated with NPR.
I guess there are NPR subsidiaries all across the country.
I think the entire United States is an NPR subsidiary these days.
Boy, oh boy.
So, the Hoodnic.
I bet, I bet, H-O-O-D hyphen N-I-C, I bet it started as Picnic in the Hood or something like that.
It doesn't give the history.
It doesn't tell you.
It doesn't explain.
Or wear a hood at the picnic.
It was founded in 2004, so it was founded long before Trayvon Martin.
Made that apparel in the black community famous, or infamous.
Well, in the shut up whitey department, we have yet another episode.
Did you know that this very day, today, today, Mr. Kersey, is the opening night of Emmett Till, A New American Opera.
I don't know.
I don't know that.
You didn't know that, did you?
But I also didn't know that in Maryland it was Harriet Tudman year for 2022.
You're just not hip, boy.
You're just not hip.
Well, it premieres tonight at John Jay College, and it is a collaboration between composer Mary Watkins, who is black, And playwright, playwright, playwright, librettist, Claire Koss, who is, uh-oh, white.
Well, it's got, as you can imagine, an overwhelmingly black cast, the conductor, the orchestra is white, I'm sorry, black, so it's pretty much blackety-blackety-black, but the lady who wrote the libretto is white.
And lo and behold, the Black Opera Alliance issued a declaration, we denounce the telling of this historic story by a white woman.
Claire Koss has creatively centered her white guilt by using this play to make the racially motivated, brutal torture and murder of a 14-year-old child about her white self and her white feelings.
I mean, I bet there's probably nothing objectionable about the lines at all.
There's nothing white about any of this.
But the fact that the lady who wrote the libretto is white, they just can't leave people alone.
What if they've been Russian?
What would you do in this climate?
It doesn't matter.
She's white.
Russian, Ukrainian, it's all bad.
The letter has attracted more than 12,000 signatures.
They wanted this horror not to proceed, but apparently it will.
They're going to let this nasty white lady tell the story of Emmett Till.
That's just the state of affairs we are in in this white supremacist society, Mr. Kersey.
There you go.
But, you know, as usual, Whitey just can't get anything right.
Now, here's my favorite headline of the week.
Russia attacks Ukraine, leaving thousands dead and millions homeless.
African Americans hit hardest.
That's an imaginary headline.
Sorry.
But you don't have to imagine very hard to come up with it, can you?
Now, here's a detective game for you.
This is this week's quiz.
So let's see how alert you are.
A Burger King employee Shatisha Hicks, age 30, was working at the drive-thru window, and she was serving a customer who then threw mayonnaise in her face.
Now, according to some reports, the customer had squirted mayonnaise, probably out on those little pillow-shaped packets.
Well, he stayed in the parking lot, and a witness recounted what happened next.
He was making faces at her through the car window out here in the parking lot, and that just set her off.
So, what did Shatisha do?
She walked right out of the Burger King, went to her car, grabbed a gun, and fired five rounds at the person's vehicle as he or she drove away.
So this was over a misguided mayonnaise... Well, apparently this person, I suspect it was a man, squirted mayonnaise at her or threw mayonnaise at her.
It's probably easier to squirt than throw.
It was a small little package.
I can imagine that happening.
So then she got into her car and fled the scene, but was arrested after cops spotted her vehicle about a mile from her home.
A Burger King spokesman called her behavior unacceptable.
I hope so.
I mean, it's right there in the employee rulebook.
Do not open fire on customers who make faces at you.
It's right there in the rulebook.
That's rule number one.
Ah, well, today's quiz!
What was the race of the person who squirted, or threw, the mayonnaise?
And what is your reason for arriving at such a conclusion?
Now... I didn't even think we needed that.
Okay, I'm going to say, just to play along, because this is a learning experience, I'm going to say Hispanic.
Well, the race is unidentified, so I can't give you the right answer.
Okay.
I cannot give you the right answer, but my guess is this.
It cannot be a white person.
Now, one, it seems unlikely to me that a white person would squirt a lady in the face with mayonnaise and then make faces at her through the car window.
I mean, I don't rule it out.
It's unlikely.
But to me, the compelling and crucial evidence is this.
Apparently, Shetisha has not accused this person of using the n-word.
I was gonna, yeah.
That's right.
Now, so we know if this was a melanin-deprived mayonnaise squirter, then she would have come up with that for sure.
So, that's my reasoning process.
Well, doesn't... Elementary, my dear.
We're not on Twitter anymore, but don't, you know, the black Twitter, it's...
How do they spell white people?
What white people?
White people.
White people.
W-Y-W-Y-P-O.
W. White people.
Don't.
Isn't there something about mayonnaise and white people?
They say all white people smell like mayonnaise or something along this line.
There's something about white bread and mayonnaise and snow and I don't know what all else.
Perhaps maybe this is derogatory to get mayonnaise shot at you by.
By a fellow melanin-enriched individual.
I don't know the language of the hood.
In any case, we are, as usual, running out of time.
So, quickly tell us about Colin Kaepernick.
I'm going to be quick.
We all know who Colin Kaepernick is.
He's the one who really started this This racial activism in professional sports over the past 7-8 years.
He rose to prominence during the 2016 season.
Hasn't played since.
He's even compared the NFL to slavery.
He made a lot of money in the NFL.
Before he played 5 seasons, he made $43 million for his 5 seasons in the league.
in the NFL before he played five seasons he made 43 million dollars for his five seasons in the
league but including he made 10 million dollars in a 2019 settlement where they had a court over
him saying he was blackballed by the league. So he played for the league.
So he was paid $40 million for playing and then $10 million for not playing.
Exactly.
Some people have argued and they've said, based on his endorsement deals, that he's making far more than that after he became the face of this anti-police movement.
But the main story that I'm reading now is he's doing everything he can to get back into a league.
That, um, that, you know, he basically complained as being, uh, you know, as being a racist league, which the players were nothing but slaves.
What?
He misses the clanking of his chains?
I guess so.
I guess, I guess that's it.
So, um.
Well, okay.
Good luck, boy.
Is, how's his throwing arm?
You know, he's been doing actually, he's gone around to a lot of the cities that are looking for players.
And people who are in the know have said, yeah, he looks like he's in good shape.
But again, it's been five seasons since he last played, so who knows.
But I think the main point is this, here's a guy who basically said, the league is run by all these white owners, they're plantation owners.
He misses his servitude.
Autonomy is too much for him.
Gotta get back under Mass's thumb.
Well, this leads me, in a very roundabout way, to a South African story.
Did you know that teaching and learning were disrupted in Durban schools?
Durban, the city of South Africa, this week.
And learners had to be sent home early.
This was after pupils started experiencing ancestral callings.
Oh God.
Yes.
Well, in a letter to parents and guardians, the school said they had no choice but to suspend classes due to a number of learners affected by ancestral calling.
The affected pupils were displaying strange behavior and were attended to by ambulance medics.
Pupils appeared to be displaying movements resembling a seizure.
The medics were able to calm the affected pupils.
But the reason for this urgent decision is several learners were displaying ancestral callings.
It's now out of control and disrupting learning and teaching.
We are taking every precaution under the circumstances to ensure the safety of our learners, but everybody had to be sent home.
And that's all that's reported in the press.
Now, have you ever had an ancestral calling?
I had one just last week.
What happened?
Quite thrilling.
Quite thrilling.
I wriggled about and I made bizarre noises.
But that's all we know about these ancestral callings.
But they had to shut down class in Durban because, you know, well, you know, I guess, what is it?
It's a black thing.
You wouldn't understand.
I don't even want to understand.
It's an African thing.
I guess it's an African thing.
Well, good grief.
