Biden Consoles Buffalo But Not Waukesha
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my irreplaceable co-host, Paul Kersey.
And it is May 17th, Year of Our Lord 2022, and I have a sad announcement to make.
Some of you were fans, some of you were not, of the white advocate who occasionally lent her commentary to the things, especially that Mr. Kersey would say.
Sometimes she agreed, sometimes she disagreed, but she was always on the money.
Well, the white advocate had to be put down on Sunday, and I'm very sad about that.
So she will no longer be giving us her commentary.
But she's well-remembered and well-loved and she lived a happy life, but she's gone to the great cat box in the sky.
So, we will begin with a comment from some of our listeners.
We had gotten lost on the whole question of what were the brands of menthol cigarettes, smoked by blacks, which are going to be banned.
And I feel sorry for blacks who like menthol cigarettes.
But someone wrote in to say that Kools are generally smoked by older blacks, and the brand that I could not remember, Newports, are preferred by younger blacks.
So some people really have their blacks and their menthol cigarettes pretty well figured out, better than I.
Now there is another listener commentary that came along with a story, and it has to do with the big event of this week, that is to say, what happened in Buffalo.
But the listener sent in a New York Times story Which claimed that from 1966 to 2019, it's a pretty long period of time, 77% of mass shooters got the weapons they used in their crimes through legal purchases.
Legal purchases, that sounded awfully odd to me.
It said that this reflects, of course, the profound inadequacy of local, state, and federal statutes to deter or detect mass shooters.
Okay.
Now, how is a federal statute going to detect mass shooters before the fact?
In any case, the Biden administration renewed its calls to ban semi-automatic weapons after the Buffalo Massacre.
And T. Christian Hain, the vice president of the Brady Gun Control Group, said the only way to stop these was to enact strengthened universal federal background checks to compensate for the wide variation in state and local laws.
But that proposal is stalled in the Senate, despite what the New York Times claims is overwhelming public support.
Then the New York Times goes on to refer specifically only the only mass shootings it refers to.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Or the guy who shot up the synagogue, and the guy who, I guess it was El Paso, shot up the Walmart, killing Hispanics, and, of course, this new mass killer, Peyton Gendron.
Those are the only ones they specifically mention.
Now, the listener said that this figure of 77% of mass shooters get their weapons legally sounded fishy, and so he looked to the source that New York Times had referred to to get that figure.
And the listener writes, reading the source document, we find a single footnote.
The Congressional Research Service has defined a public mass shooting as a multiple homicide incident in which four or more victims are murdered with firearms, not including the shooter.
And murders are not attributable to any other underlying criminal activity or commonplace circumstances such as armed robbery, criminal competition, insurance fraud, argument, or romantic triangle.
So here, criminal competition.
I suppose that's a nice way to say gang warfare.
Yes, that's the politically correct moniker for it.
Criminal competition.
So this probably wipes out with a single stroke of the pen the huge majority of mass shootings, and certainly the huge majority of black mass shootings.
So the whole story here, which is obviously an attempt to get gun control laws passed, is based on an utterly fraudulent understanding of what a mass shooting is.
But there you go.
Now, as far as this shooter is concerned, he's obviously a terrible discredit to his race, and of course what this means is that there will be all more diligent clamping down on dissidents, such as us, thanks to young Mr. Gendron.
There'll be more oppression, and of course this means that more young people will crack and do terrible things.
This is a horrible thing that's happened and the consequences are going to be just as horrible.
I have put up quite a considerable article at amran.com trying to analyze what's going on and explaining why the reactions to this shooting will inevitably lead to more Peyton Gendron's.
I'm sorry to say, but I think it's inevitable.
Meanwhile, of course, Joe Biden has gone to Buffalo to comfort the bereaved.
He traveled there to denounce the racist massacre, and while the president plans to describe last weekend's shootings, well, he did describe it as racist terrorism, he did not call out by name conservative commentators such as Tucker Carlson of Fox News.
He's the big target these days, isn't he?
Everybody wants to pin this on Tucker Carlson.
As we talked about briefly before we got started here in that beautiful address of the advocate, Remember, it was two weeks ago that the New York Times and the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, I believe, they had a front page story about Tucker Carlson and the Great Replacement.
A huge story.
11 reporters poured over 1,100 hours of Tucker Carlson's program.
And what if they learned anything?
Probably not.
Well, it does seem like a strange coincidence.
He is taking the rap for this, but he's a big, blowing boy.
He can take it.
But the president, your and my president, after solemnly placing flowers at a makeshift memorial and visiting privately with the families of the shooting victims, he said, well, he denounced violence inflicted in the service of hate and a vicious thirst for power.
Those are not the words I've chosen.
Repeat those words again.
This is violence inflicted in the service of hate and a vicious thirst for power.
Is that what this Peyton guy had?
I don't know.
And his voice rising in anger, he denounced the poison of white supremacy.
We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America.
None!
Well, as I've argued many times, I don't think there's anyone in the country that could legitimately be called a white supremacist.
Nobody wants to rule over people of other races.
But perhaps this guy did.
In any case, he's going to spend the rest of his life in the big house.
He says, we need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can.
There's no place, Biden indicated also, he wanted to go after the internet sites that provide a platform for hateful rhetoric.
What might those be, Uncle Joe?
You can't prevent people from being radicalized to violence, but we can address the relentless exploitation of the internet.
We just need to have the courage to do that.
Courage.
They lack courage, you see, and that's why they've not put all the websites you might go to out of business.
What's fascinating, this is so important to point out, Mr.
Taylor, is at a time where you have this massive drive, and this has been going on
since Biden's inauguration.
They've wanted to clamp down on domestic terror.
They believe that's the greatest threat after the January 6th, 2020 nonsense.
But at the same time, you have a man who I think in a lot of ways has galvanized people
on the right, and that's Elon Musk, who just wants to allow free speech on Twitter.
And in turn, he's found out with his initial bid for the company, the stewards of the company,
the CEO, they won't release how many bots are actually in existence to show that a lot
of these leftist accounts, the top left accounts, they basically have millions of fake followers
to showcase because no one ever retweets them or anything.
And what's fascinating, the biggest, most powerful voices on Twitter On social media, I would argue, are those who just want free inquiry.
And if we would have that, I think, like you just said, this type of thing in Buffalo wouldn't have happened if there was... Well, my fear is to say, more and more, dissident ideas are being driven underground.
When they're driven underground, they don't go away.
And people who have a voice speak, and those who don't have a voice do horrible things.
And that's why there will be more.
I hate to say it, but there will be more.
But Joe Biden, he's talking about the Great Replacement.
He says, I call on all Americans to reject the lie.
What?
It's a lie.
The Great Revolutions isn't happening.
I condemn those who spread the lie for power, political gain, and for profit in an apparent swipe at Republican politicians and conservative broadcasters.
However, this is very interesting.
The New York Times quoted this, much to my astonishment.
The American Firearms Association said the root problem was a Democrat-led New York State legislature which has voted to largely disarm New York State and leave law-abiding citizens vulnerable.
That's the spirit we like.
Yes.
Why no return fire?
Good for the American Firearms Association.
Of course, asked why the White House would not directly condemn those who are amplifying the false fringe conspiracy theory.
No, there's no white decline.
No, no.
Do you know what Joe Biden said back in 2015?
What did he say in 2015?
He said he was looking forward to it.
Chuck Ross, a great reporter, wrote this.
He quoted Biden as saying this.
This is Joe Biden on The Great Replacement.
He says, is this going to be a great thing?
Quote, folks like me who are Caucasian of European descent for the first time in 2017 will be an absolute minority in the United States of America.
Absolute minority.
Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock.
That's not a bad thing.
That's a source of our strength.
Yep.
End quote.
That's Joe Biden on a wave of immigration.
It's not going to stop from February 18th, 2015, as reported by Tucker Carlson's founded Daily Caller.
There you go.
That's Joe Biden on the great replacement.
Now it's a lie.
Sit back and take it.
Now it's a lie!
Well, and when the 2020 census came out, Michael Moore, when he got the news that the number of whites had decreased in absolute terms while everybody else was up, he said, this is the best day in American history.
I would go back to what Jimmy Fallon did.
I know you don't watch late night television, but he actually discussed the fact that the white population declined for the first time ever.
And the audience broke out into an uproarious cheer and clapping.
And he was even taken aback by it.
But don't forget, don't forget, this is a racist conspiracy theory.
It's on in your mind.
Now, when this new black lesbian spokesman, press spokesman for the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre, was asked why the White House would not directly condemn those who amplified the false conspiracy theory, she said that people who spread this filth know who they are.
Spread this filth.
Well, I guess that includes her boss now.
And they deserve and they should be ashamed of themselves.
Now, of course, the New York Times is so sympathetic.
The careful line the president appeared to be drawing underscored the challenge for a president who came to office preaching unity in figuring out how to take on those preaching hate.
He's in a political box, trapped by the desire to be a unifier while feeling compelled to take on the forces rending the country apart.
Oh, the poor dear!
Well, I just believe... Now, somehow he couldn't find the time to visit Waukesha.
Of course, only six died there, but 40 were injured.
I think, wasn't it more than 40?
I thought it was... Well, that's the latest figure I saw.
Yeah, I can't remember the little boy's name who died, but... Just recently.
So, the total casualty figure is greater now.
Uh, and of course, uh, uh, what was his name?
Darryl, uh, I can't remember his name for heaven's sake.
What is it?
Darryl Brooks?
Darryl Brooks.
That was his name.
One of his eloquent statements, of course, was the old white people knock them the fuck out, period.
That's what he wants to do.
And that's what he did.
But no, I don't think Joe is going to stop off and console the dead of Waukesha.
When is that trial coming?
Because that's going to be fascinating.
That's going to be this fall.
Why I bring that up is you recall after the shooting in Charleston, there was a shooting at a white church by a Sudanese immigrant, Emanuel Samson.
He shot and killed one person, I believe six others were wounded.
And it only came out during the trial that it was revenge.
It was black racial revenge.
And that was two years after.
The horrific incident in Charleston.
The Dylan Roof killing.
Nine people.
That stuff, you know, that's carefully suppressed.
Carefully suppressed.
But, in Buffalo, enter, ta-da, none other than Ben Crump.
He will be representing the families of one of the black people who was shot.
He says those grieving families deserve to know how a white supremacist so vocal about his hatred was able to carry out a premeditated and targeted attack of terrorism against black people.
We will get answers for these families and we will hold those responsible for this tragedy accountable.
Who's going to hold responsible, I wonder?
I mean, there was a New York State Police investigation into this guy.
They held him for a day and a half because he'd made these threats to his school that had nothing to do with race, but they decided he was enough of a threat to hold.
So maybe they will sue them.
Maybe they'll sue the manufacturer of the rifle.
You know, that would be typical Ben Crump.
Or maybe they'll sue the manufacturer of the car that Gendron drove to Buffalo.
That'd be unique.
That would be interesting.
But he sees dollar signs.
Or the GPS device they got him.
Ah, that might be it too.
The 200 miles to Buffalo.
That might be it too.
Are we allowed to point out one thing?
One of the great series at amren.com has been Gregory Hood's The Great Replacement.
Everyone talks about the macro numbers, but it's really shocking to look at the micro
numbers.
The Great Replacement is taking place everywhere.
Yeah, and Buffalo is at one point, for people who are listening around the world, Buffalo was one of America's most important cities right before World War II and as America became the great Really lone superpower in terms of innovation and what we were doing with Kodak and other companies there, Xerox.
Mr. Taylor, what do you think the population of Buffalo was in 1940?
Good grief!
Not the number of people.
What was the demographic breakdown of Buffalo in 1940?
Oh, probably very, very white.
Upstate New York, good grief.
Probably black people were a real rarity.
97% white in 1940, and this is the 15th largest city at the time.
Even in 1950, the city was still 94% white.
Up until 1970, Buffalo is an 80% white city.
There you go.
Even in 1950 the city was still 94% white.
Up until 1970 Buffalo is an 80% white city. There you go.
And what is it now?
Buffalo is currently 43% white, 35% black.
So whites are a minority as they are already in so many places and to be in the nation as a whole.
And as President Biden back in 2015 said, that's a good thing!
Great!
Thank you, Joe.
Well, now, one of those these mass shootings that we don't hear about happened almost exactly the same time as the one in Buffalo.
David Chu, age 68, of Las Vegas, he drove to Orange County, and the next day he attended a lunch held by the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church.
So, here's a guy who grew up in Taiwan.
He's at a Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, He knew nobody there, but he spent an hour welcomed, mingling with about 40 attendees.
Shades of Dylann Roof, if you ask me.
He was welcomed.
And then, Cho, this guy had a plan.
He chained the door shut, put superglue in the keyholes, and he had two 9mm handguns and three bags stuffed with Molotov cocktail-type incendiary devices and extra ammunition.
This guy, remember the guy who did the shooting at Virginia Tech?
The V Tech shooter?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He was an Asian guy.
Yeah, he was 2007.
That guy chained the doors up so he could lock his victims in.
Well, apparently this guy was not very competent.
And once he opened fire, a certain Dr. Cheng, age 52, tackled him, allowing other prisoners to subdue him and tie him up.
But Cheng himself died, five were wounded, the oldest age 92.
The motive for the shooting was Chao's hatred towards Taiwan.
This is odd.
A Taiwanese wanted to shoot other Chinese.
This is too deep for me.
These Asians are inscrutable.
In any case, this was documented in handwritten notes that were found.
His family apparently were among those forcibly removed from mainland China to Taiwan sometime after 1948.
Relations between mainlanders and Taiwanese have not been good, so that's why he did it.
This is being investigated as a hate crime, but I would bet.
Only a handful of our listeners have even heard of this event.
Some hate crimes are more equal than others.
Needless to say.
The heroic doctor, though.
I read a story on him and what he did to actually, you know, sacrifice himself to allow him to then be subdued, though his life was given.
That's heroism.
That is heroism.
That is absolute heroism.
Now, another underreported crime.
And then, Mr. Kersey, you have some yourself.
A search is underway for a suspect who opened fire at a Dallas hair salon and injured three Korean women.
Did you hear about this?
I did, actually.
This took place in something called the Asian Trade District, known locally as Koreatown.
The suspect, described as a black male, dressed in all black, walked into the business and started shooting, hitting the three women.
The salon is Korean-owned, and all the victims, the owner, an employee, and a customer, were Korean women.
Investigators do not have any indication that the shooting was a hate crime, but they're not ruling it out.
Now, with all the concern about anti-Asian crime, anti-Asian hate, shouldn't this be big news?
Stop Asian hate, right?
Stop Asian hate.
That's what we were put on earth to do, Mr. Kersey, you and I. Is this also not misogyny?
Aren't we fighting misogynistic anti-Asian hate?
Will the president drop by and give his condolences?
I somehow fear not.
But now I think there are a couple of other mass shootings that happened on the very same day.
Yeah, I've got one from Milwaukee I'll talk about real quick.
It was after the Milwaukee Bucks game six loss on Friday night.
So I believe Buffalo shooting was Saturday in the afternoon.
It was Sunday.
Yeah, so this is Friday night following the Milwaukee Bucks game at Pfizer Forum there in Milwaukee.
people were wounded as bullets went flying and a mass shooting nearby.
This was a huge event.
It was an outdoor event to watch the game.
This is a great way to bring people to downtown Milwaukee.
Milwaukee's going through one of its most violent years through 2022, and they actually
had to cancel the watch party on Sunday night for game seven because they couldn't guarantee
people's safety, Mr. Taylor.
So that was a mass shooting where 17 people were shot.
No one was killed.
It's interesting.
In these type of stories, I always love to find out how many casings were found so you could actually get that ratio.
Did they say?
It doesn't say in the story.
But they had to cancel.
And then in Baltimore, you know, And this is the very same day as the Buffalo shooting?
Yeah, so in 65% black Baltimore, there were two mass shootings hours apart in the city.
The first shooting was near Monument Street, injured three people, left one man dead.
Once again, a mass shooting is four people shot.
It doesn't matter how many people were dead.
It doesn't matter the convoluted way the New York Times tries to clarify.
This was the Congressional Research Service.
They would have discounted that one.
Yeah.
You know, it's not a white guy. It's not a mass shooting.
Yeah. And then there was, uh, and then just hours later in Northwest Baltimore,
five people were shot in another mass shooting. One of the victims was a juvenile and immediately,
you know, leaders came in and promised to stop the violence.
Many believe is out of control.
You know, a couple of years ago, um, Baltimore has been the outlier where most of America got safer
and violence dropped before black lives matter was triumphant in May 25th, 2020 with George Floyd.
In Baltimore, there were some criminologists who said, Hey, listen, all these other cities are seeing 30, 40, 50% increases in homicides.
And you wrote the Baltimore Sun.
We've stayed stable.
We haven't gone up at all.
That's right.
We've actually dropped 2%.
But when you're so astronomically higher than everybody else, you become desensitized to that violence.
They're still the league leader, pretty much.
And yeah, so two mass shootings, hours apart, literal blocks from one another in Baltimore.
No one bats an eye.
It's not even a local news story, really.
No, no, no.
And no, I don't think Joe's going to drop by there on his way back for condolences, either.
Nope.
Nope.
But now, moving on to something else, something different.
A doctor, as we have heard before, can't tell race just from looking at x-rays, but a computer can.
Uh-oh.
Once again, we have surprising new findings by an international team of scientists, including researchers from MIT and Harvard Medical School.
The study found that AI trained to read x-rays and CT scans could predict a person's race with greater than 90% accuracy.
But the scientists have no idea how the computer can tell.
Because they can't.
How did they train it to tell?
At a time when AI software is increasingly used to help doctors make diagnostic decisions, the research raises the unsettling prospect that AI-based diagnostics could unintentionally generate racially biased results.
I don't quite know why, but for example, now this seems to be a very strange example to me, an artificial intelligence program with access to x-rays might automatically recommend a particular course of treatment for all black patients, whether or not it's best for that specific person.
Now, that's precisely the thing artificial intelligence would not do.
It would take race into consideration and make a decision when that was appropriate because it understands race a whole lot better than a human being does.
Yes.
But no, no, no, no, no, no.
Anything that knows, yes.
Yes, I know you understand it better than anyone on earth, certainly better than any computer.
Now, Leo Anthony Selle, one of the researchers, he's at Harvard Medical School, he says, doctors should be reluctant to use AI diagnostics that might automatically generate biased results.
Why is it going to be automatically biased just because it detects race?
He says we need to take a pause.
We cannot rush bringing the algorithms to hospitals and clinics until we're sure they're not making racist decisions or sexist decisions.
Will AI make homophobic decisions?
Not yet.
I bet.
Or xenophobic decisions?
Transphobic?
They can figure this stuff out!
They know more than you!
They know more than me!
Then, the fact is, you know, there was an article, we talked about this in the podcast, and there was an article about this in Wired, and I went to the original paper, and they found that the race algorithm still worked, and this is for x-rays, Even after high-pass filters and low-pass filters had taken out and removed either fine detail or gross features.
That's right.
Remember that?
We had this whole system of photographs.
It looked just like smudge.
And a human being could practically not even tell what part of the body it was, but they still figured out what the race of the subject was.
And, oh boy, the scientists were spooked.
I mean, it was as if they'd seen ghosts, they were so upset.
I mean, if there's no biological reality of race, how did they detect it?
How, how, how, how?
I can see people in white coats all sitting around the table weeping.
How did this happen?
How do we lobotomize AI as we have white Americans?
How do we brainwash the AI?
Oh my gosh, but no, but then race, you know, race just doesn't exist.
But as you're going to explain, clinical trials have to take it into consideration, right?
You know, it's a little life hack for everyone out there.
News.google.com.
Just type in the words disproportionately white or disproportionately black.
You'll be astonished what type of stories you find.
Everything is disproportionately one or the other.
Exactly.
Well, here we go with one of them.
National Academies Report cites urgent need to recruit more diverse participants for clinical trials.
Okay, what does this mean?
Because again, race doesn't exist, right?
So why would it matter what races are there for clinical trials?
I don't know.
The persistent lack of diversity among participants in clinical trials is a critical issue that is harming both populations that have long been left out of pivotal medical studies and the entire biomedical research enterprise.
According to the authors, a report that was released actually just today by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine describing the need to move away from trials that focus largely on white men as urgent, the report's authors called for a paradigm shift that gives less power to institutions that fund and conduct clinical research and more to communities under study.
Communities?
The sternly worded report said funding to include and support more diverse participants Should be a priority that is enforced.
Meaning, hey, you're not going to get any money if you don't have diversity.
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe go to jail.
Yeah, and such investments could eventually, yeah, you're going to lose the equity in your house if you don't fund equity.
The right kind of equity.
But anyways, investments could eventually lead to massive cost savings as the nation's health disparities are reduced.
Quote, an equitable clinical research enterprise would include trials and studies that match the demographics of the disease burden under study.
However, we remain far from achieving that goal.
The report cited many studies that show a lack of diversity of persistent clinical trials, even for diseases, that disproportionately impact non-white populations.
Does this report say why that makes a difference?
Why should we care?
It does.
Here's what it says.
One FDA analysis of clinical trials conducted between 2015 and Participants were non-Hispanic white people.
More than 97% of participants in a Phase 2 trial of the Alzheimer's drug were white and just 2.8% were Hispanic, even though Hispanic people are 1.2 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's, the report said.
This lack of diversity has stubbornly persisted despite decades of attention to the issue,
dozens of reports, and the creation of new offices in federal agencies to encourage
broader participation in trials among non-white demographics.
Well, there you go.
You've got to send them to jail if they don't have diverse participants.
Here's where we go.
A 2015 Government Accountability Office, the GAO, report found little improvement in trial diversity had occurred since 2004.
To this day, the new report said, research participants remain mostly white and male.
Mr. Taylor, as you've always said, what is it that white people do disproportionately when it comes to civic engagement?
The fact is, they get all of these whites to be volunteering for trials because that's what white people do.
That's what white people do.
So, they're just going to have to pay the non-whites to participate.
That's going to be the only solution.
But again, the great unanswered question is, why does it matter?
Well, here's why it matters.
I'll do this real quick because this shows that race is real.
This is buried at the bottom of the report.
To illustrate why diversity in clinical trials is critical, the report's author cited the blood clot inhibitor warfarin as a cautionary tale.
While that drug had been approved For you since 1951, it was not until 2013 that scientists realized genetic ancestry impacted how the drug should be dosed.
Oh no!
Many people with Asian ancestry require lower doses and suffered excess bleeding when the drug was used at dosages set after trials conducted on mostly white men, the report said.
Uh-oh, then warfarin, warfarin is hoodwinked by a social construct just like you and me.
That doesn't make any sense.
My mind is professionally blown.
Yes.
What type of racism does Warfin expressing here?
Unconscious racism.
Implicit bias.
Okay.
Oh, yes.
All right.
Well, there you go.
Well, in the meantime, more standards have got to go.
Illinois' top financial official has banned local governments from using a state program to collect debt from students and their families who have been ticketed for truancy.
Now, I didn't realize you could get ticketed for truancy in Illinois, but you can.
And eliminating this collection problem will end the burden for families struggling to pay.
Fines are usually about $50 to $75, and the amount may double if not paid on time.
And what's more, if you don't pay, there's a collection agency that might come by and garnish your wages.
Now, a number of school districts around the state have begun to scale back and evaluate when they involve law enforcement for this ticketing business, especially in high schools where black students have been disproportionately ticketed.
When students and their families fail to pay, the local governments turn to the state to help collect the money.
Now, beginning June 11th, the state's not going to help.
And police at Bloom Trail High School had issued 178 tickets during the 2018 to the 2019 through March of this year.
As it turned out, almost all the tickets were for fighting.
They get tickets for fighting, violence.
Okay, you should.
Truancy is apparently pretty unusual, actually, but that's the way the lead is.
Oh, these poor people play hooky, they're being paid, they're being ticketed.
And almost all went to black students.
Oh boy.
And a mother of two boys, who were ticketed, said that her sons were treated too harshly.
They're young black men, she said, they stereotyped them.
And so I'm sure they were not fighting, but just because they were black and young male, somebody thought they were fighting.
It's a social construct, you know, this fighting business.
I blame redlining.
That'll do it every time.
Until now, students who've gotten tickets have been required to attend municipal hearings, and they got fined.
Now, yes, the ban on truancy debt collection applies to tickets issued by police, to students, or their parents or guardians.
So if the student can't pay, somebody else can.
Samantha Corzine, one of our African American fellow citizens, had about $800 withheld from her state tax refund in 2020, Because of debt owed on account of her daughters for fighting.
She must have real MMA daughters.
They're in training.
I guess they are.
Now, Illinois' top education official Superintendent Carmen Ayala says the only consequence of the tickets are to impose a financial burden on already struggling families.
I bet they are more likely to send their children to school.
If there's a prospect of being ticketed, don't you?
Also, she says, it makes students feel less cared for, less welcome, less included.
In other words, if you get a ticket for truancy, that means stay away?
No.
They're cared for.
They're wanted.
And if they don't get a ticket, if they don't get a ticket for fighting, then that'll make them feel more cared for?
In any case, there was some opposition to this.
Believe it or not, Mr. Kersey, The Jacksonville School District Superintendent, Steve Ptacek, I suspect he's not African American.
He said, without police intervention, schools will become the most violent, drug-filled places students ever go to.
Well, I suspect he's right.
And now we have more As we so often do about our friend and most admired fellow African-American fellow citizeness, Patrisse Cullors.
Did you know that an MSN, but you always know.
When I was asked, do you know?
You always know.
So you no doubt tuned into the MSNBC podcast posted Monday afternoon in response to a question from the host, Trimane Lee, who had asked if the organization's tsunami of funding was a shock.
She said, yes.
It was a major shock.
You know, it's been reported much of funding like that, it came from individual donors.
That was a lot of white guilt money, she said.
I actually didn't know that, but that's amazing.
That was a lot of white guilt.
That would make a great title to a book, If Calm Flaherty, God Bless His Soul, Was Still Alive.
That would make a great book to describe what has happened over the past two years.
Because we are what?
We're seven days, eight days from the anniversary of Floyd's death.
Yes, yes.
Of Floyd dying from fentanyl.
We'll have, what is it?
What was the 17 minutes?
Nine minutes.
We'll have nine minutes of silence on the podcast.
I'll tell you what, I'll have nine minutes of silence for the white advocate.
Yes, yes.
In any case, yes, a lot of white guilt money.
She says there's a lot of white folks being like, we just got to put the money.
Put the money.
Where you got to put the money, Mr. Kersey?
Not in the stock market.
In any case, Ms.
Cullors stepped away from the BLM Global Network Foundation in May of last year amid scrutiny over her $3.2 million real estate buying binge.
She recently made headlines after a New York Magazine report exposed a $6 million Los Angeles mansion purchased by the foundation and hidden in a fake name and kept off the books.
This led Ms.
Cullors to declare that charity laws, those that require groups to file Form 990s, just like New Century Foundation, for whom I work, she called these laws triggering.
It's such a trip now to hear the term 990.
She said, it's UGG.
It's UGG.
Like, it's triggering.
It's white supremacy.
You've got to follow 990.
Well, yes, you do.
She added, now this is really just so brilliant.
The standards in which we are criticized and scrutinized is very different from white non-profits.
No, the standards are not.
They're exactly the same.
They're universally enforced.
They all, but you know, she says we undergo a different set of standards.
I did realize that.
I knew that theoretically.
I just didn't realize that.
This is just hilarious.
No, no, Patrice.
You trained Marxist, you.
I go through the same standards you do.
I fill out the silly thing every year and I send it in on time.
But there you go.
Now, the Washington Examiner reported the group has now used an accounting gimmick Never occurred to me to delay the release of their 2021 tax forms by switching from a calendar to a fiscal year.
Getting pretty sophisticated there, Patrice Cruller.
Actually brilliant.
Wow, okay.
No, we couldn't get our act together, so we're going to switch to fiscal years.
Meanwhile, now this is really a brief item, but really quite terrifying.
But its implications not just for one city, but for the whole country.
The Chicago Police Department It's preparing for a surge in violence over the Memorial Day weekend and I don't think they're expecting a white mass shooter with an AR-15 either.
But it's therefore canceling all upcoming days off for its officers as they continue to face a severe manpower shortage.
And this will give you an idea of what has contributed to the shortage.
In 2019, 619 officers left the force and 444 joined.
That was a deficit.
119 officers left the force and 444 joined.
That was a deficit.
But in 2020, the year of the BLM riots, the police department saw 705 officers leave
and only 161 signed on.
Between January and October of 2021, 900 officers left and only 51 signed on.
That is a loss. 900 left in this period and 51 joined. That's a loss over three years of 1,568
police officers because nobody wants to be a cop in Chicago.
Nobody. And I really wonder who these 51 are who joined. I bet a lot of them are psychopaths,
they're criminals, they are people who think they are just going to shake folks down. It is
going to be hell to be living in Chicago.
Oh, it already is.
So, do tell.
Yeah, well this article was, this was published at the beginning of the month, the one I'm about to read, about May 3rd.
I want to say the Chicago, I've got it right here, Chicago Tribune.
Why this is important is because what happened over the weekend.
So this is going to be considered the Proverbial shot.
This is from May 8th.
This is by two journalists for the Chicago Tribune.
Title is, Chicagoans feel like they own the loop.
Violence resonates downtown as city center reflects troubles.
You know what the loop is?
I do, but if you want to go ahead and...
Well, there is a subway line, it's an elevated subway line, that makes a loop right in downtown Chicago.
That is the busiest, fanciest part of town, and that's called the Loop.
It's the economic lifeblood of the town.
Well, over a 48-hour period last weekend, three shootings erupted within a mile of one another in Chicago's downtown area.
Two were left dead during that same time.
Some 17 people were shot, most of them in neighborhoods where a higher level of violence is more commonly experienced, i.e., Outside the loop.
I.e.
where white people don't go.
Yet it was the shootings downtown, one outside a major theater, that cancelled its evening performance, capturing most of the attention from the media and city leaders, including everyone's favorite mayor, Lori Lightfoot, who had to address the violence Monday because it was happening in areas where white people do go, and a lot of the tax revenue goes to actually fund this police force that is, as you noted, dwindling.
Police leaders also had to answer for the spat of violence, quickly announcing they'd be deploying more resources downtown.
Experts said the outsized attention to downtown happened for a variety of reasons.
It's the economic engine of the city, generating millions in tax revenue and tourism dollars.
There's that famous bean, the mirror, that you always see people when they go to Chicago, you get their picture taken in front of this bean.
It's a huge reflecting thing.
It's almost like a fun mirror.
Exactly.
Distorting mirror.
Yeah, so the additional violence downtown strains resources in the police department that is, as you said, struggling to retain officers and also to address decades of consistently higher rates of violence in Chicago's neighborhoods.
I'm going to go ahead and read between the lines here for you ladies and gents.
Black and brown neighborhoods.
Because again, 97 to 98 percent of homicides and non-fatal shootings in Chicago have a black or brown suspect.
Though Chicago is 33% white.
Interesting.
Downtown is also the civic heartbeat of the city, a place where Chicagoans from Rogers Park to Roseland come together for concerts to hit the beach.
Spread out on a lawn for a picnic, gazed into the aforementioned mirrored bean or splash in the fountain at Millennium Park.
Bill Savage, who has taught Chicago literature and culture for 30 years at Northwestern,
you said this, quote, Chicagoans feel like they own the loop.
If the center of our city experiences this kind of violence, it hits everybody in a way.
If it's happening in the loop, it is about you.
Well, I guess certain Chicagoans are now taking ownership of the loop.
Chicagoans that most people try and stay away from.
The Chicagoans who thought they owned the Loop.
Now why this is so important to stay, the article goes on and on and it's actually kind of boring, but why this article is so important is because the very night of Buffalo, May 15th, 2020, I'm sorry, May 14th.
Whatever day Saturday was.
My days are confused.
The Post Millennial reports this.
16-year-old boy shot and killed at Millennium Park.
Chicago police declare riot.
This happened right in front of the area where Chicagoans believe they own.
Like we said, this is the economic engine of the city.
And the Chicago Police Department were called in to clear Millennium Park after a 16-year-old black boy was killed after being shot in the chest.
At 7 30 p.m.
7 30 p.m.
This isn't like it's late at night.
The sun isn't even down yet.
Local news reported, quote, police said hundreds of young people were at Millennium Park Saturday night and began flooding surrounding streets.
Officers were called in to clear the park.
According to reports, the 16-year-old boy was shot inside the park.
He died.
A riot was declared.
Twenty-six children and four adults were arrested in connection with the incident, Chicago police said.
There were five gun arrests and seven guns recovered.
Two officers were also injured.
Millennial Park.
I mean, that's the place, that's one of those places where, goodness gracious, the few remaining white people actually go.
This is in the loop.
This is one of the most, like I said, I'm going back to this.
It's in the loop.
I don't think it's in the loop.
But anyway, the Chicago geography is, in any case, this is a place where white people gather.
Well, it's what that other article from the Chicago Tribune, they called it the civic heartbeat of the city.
Yeah.
Rogers Park to Roseland come together for concerts.
Yes, okay.
Or you can splash in the fountain of Millennium Park, which is where the Bean is.
This is...
This is where anybody, ladies and gentlemen, if you're looking on Facebook at your friends and they've gone to Chicago, they will take a picture.
It's like axiomatic.
You have to take a picture.
Be that as it may, in one of these very tony, normally safe areas, you have hundreds of African-American fellow citizens on the rampage shooting each other.
Well, this would sort of queer the do, wouldn't it?
Yeah, and they started flooding the streets.
They were attacking police officers, blocking traffic, according to local reports.
This is a really weird story because it's hard to find out a lot of what actually happened, but police officers and locals, i.e.
white people, were pelted with items by the rioters at the scene.
Crowds could be seen on video throwing items, including chairs, at passing civilian vehicles.
Civilian vehicles?
I'm going to tell you something.
I'm going to make a prediction.
You talked about To leave this whole little segment on Chicago, the second city off.
I believe we're gonna, I mean think about that, five gun arrests, seven guns were recovered.
You could have had a Milwaukee type thing.
In Milwaukee you had three shootings, 17 people were shot as people are just trying to leave an NBA game.
This could be a summer unlike any we've ever seen.
You've got police, we already know, traffic fatalities are reaching levels they've never been before because police, they're not pulling anyone over.
Nope.
They don't want to pull over the wrong black person.
Nope.
Nope.
And these major cities, how many police you said left the Chicago Police Department?
1,568.
These are the best police officers.
Of course.
These are the best who probably said, you know, my pension's not worth trying to protect a city that elects Lori Lightfoot as mayor.
Nope.
Come on.
Nope.
Nope.
They're leaving.
They're leaving.
Yes, it could be a long and a hot summer and one with lots of bullet casings on the ground.
For those who like to count bullet casings.
In the meantime, black teachers In 2021, the State of U.S.
Teacher Survey by Ryan Corporation found that about half of black teachers reported they were likely to leave their jobs by the end of the school year.
About half.
Half.
This is far greater than other races.
Trying to find a white district to teach in?
Probably.
A big problem apparently is that more than 30% of black teachers say they've been asked to discipline students of color.
Uh-oh.
And they are asked to teach their school communities about racism.
And they're asked to serve as liaison between the schools and families of color.
I wonder why.
And I wonder why that is so excruciating for them.
I can't imagine.
This is exhausting.
It's an awful task.
One black teacher says she doesn't think most people would believe what a public school looks like on a typical day.
Oh, I can believe it.
Probably wouldn't believe what it sounds like or smells like or feels like.
She says, now this is really poignant, she says she's even had to cut back on her water consumption.
Do you know why?
Because she's afraid to go to the bathroom.
She's afraid to go to the bathroom because she's going to be attacked or assaulted.
Not in the bathroom.
She says she can't leave a classroom unattended.
Oh my gosh!
Yes!
And so she can't go to the restroom when she needs to.
Why don't you just put like a ring doorbell type thing in the classroom so you can watch them on your phone as you go to... Makes no difference.
Seeing isn't going to make a difference.
You think they're going to care whether they're being seen?
It's not going to make a difference.
Gosh, can't leave a class just to go to the bathroom.
So this is what black teachers are facing.
What black teachers are facing, of course, if you read between the lines, is black students.
Very sad.
But this is not something that the news will tell you.
There was a very, very interesting story about what the news will and won't tell you.
It was on a substack.
Barry Weiss's substack.
You remember Barry Weiss, the New York Times reporter who felt that she was bullied out because she wasn't going to swallow all the woke baloney?
Well, a fellow named Zach Kriegman, he worked at Thomson Reuters.
That's the British owner of Reuters News Service.
For six years, he was director of data science, and he made $350,000 a year.
That's more than the editor of American Renaissance makes, by a considerable amount.
Which pennies change.
Excuse me?
No, I was going to make a shameless pitch there.
I'll stop.
Oh, no, that's not necessary.
That's not necessary.
The newsroom, the Reuters News Service, reaches an audience of 1 billion people every day.
We're not there yet, you and I, but we're getting there.
We're getting there.
We'll keep plugging.
Now, Mr. Kriegman said that he explained to his colleagues concerns he had about reports saying unarmed black people are killed by police at a disproportionately higher rate.
He said that these reports were not accurate.
But when he tried to explain his thinking, he received a tremendous backlash from white co-workers.
I was publicly derided as a troll, confused, laughable, not worth engaging with or even attempting to have an intelligent conversation with, he said.
He'd argued that rather Then looking at the population as a whole to see who was truly more impacted by police violence, reporters needed to instead take into account what racial groups police felt most threats from.
What an intellectual breakthrough this guy had.
Too bad he never read The Color of Crime.
He cited FBI research into racial demographics of those who were killed or assaulted police officers and concluded that unarmed blacks are not disproportionately affected by police killings.
He added that the rhetoric that they were disproportionately killed only fueled anti-police sentiments that were unfair, and he claims this led to the uptick in crime nationwide known as the Ferguson Effect, specifically an uptick in black death.
He writes, I've avidly followed the research on the movement and its impact which led me inexorably to the conclusion that the claim at the heart of the movement that police more readily shoot blacks is false and ultimately responsible for thousands of black people being murdered.
By fellow black people.
By fellow black people.
And murder is bad, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, you'd think so.
He said he wanted his research to open up conversations within Reuters news servers into how they could better report the issue and accurately depict the reality of police shootings.
He says a pattern was starting to emerge.
Reporters and editors would omit key details that undermine the BLM narrative.
More important than reporting accurately was upholding and nurturing the BLM storyline.
He explained this on an internal posting which was taken down.
It was criticized as antagonistic and provocative and a handful of BLM supporters, all of them white, said that as a white person he had no place criticizing BLM.
And they called his review of the academic literature, white-splaining.
What was the word the woman, the BLM lady used about the white guilt money?
How did she describe all the individual donations that she got on MSNBC?
You've got to put their money.
Is that what you mean?
No, she called it white guilt money or something.
White guilt money.
That's what she called it.
Yep.
Well, these got white guilt brain failure.
Well, no, I mean all these black bodies that are piling up courtesy of other black individuals shooting them, this is the consequence of this just, you know, insufferable white guilt.
Well, the people who are unable to speak the truth, As he says, he was ridiculed and bullied, accused of whitesplaining.
Whitesplaining?
If you look at FBI statistics, that's whitesplaining.
You know, BLM didn't issue those numbers.
They're not believable.
That's whitesplaining.
And when he emailed Human Resources about these alleged attacks on him, verbal, not physical, he was told he'd be fired if he went any further with this.
He says, most of us don't understand how deeply compromised our news sources have become.
Well, Mr. Kriegman, some of us do understand.
To a terrible extent, actually.
He says, here I was trying to bring the company's attention to how we were spreading lies and contributing to the murders of thousands of black people, and I was compared to a Klansman and forbidden by the company to discuss it.
Now, this isn't just any old company.
This is Reuters News.
Yeah.
Reuters News.
The data scientist said he doubted the company would fire him and proceeded to email his colleagues and company leadership about the situation.
He was terminated three days later.
Kriegman filed a complaint with the Commission Against Discrimination in July for being allegedly fired in retaliation for complaining about a racially hostile work environment.
It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
It will be very interesting.
I have subscribed to his sub stack, so I will find out how this case goes.
But this to me is a very significant story.
These are guys in the News Bureau, and these guys slant the news and then believe what they believe, then believe what they read in the newspapers.
Well, they come to conclusions and they try and figure ways to get evidence or enough But here's a guy in their midst, a data professional, who is rubbing their noses in the facts.
And what happens?
They fire.
This is, I think, a very important and significant story.
I totally agree.
Now, on to a somewhat different note, I have to tell you a story about an unhappy Asian man.
He says, when I was on dating apps, I honestly think I could have done better if I changed my profile picture to a stray hyena with mange, rather than be an Asian.
I couldn't get anyone to swipe right.
Dating as an Asian man in America is, to put it simply, just not fun.
I'll never forget how invisible I felt and how I imagine many other people looking like me felt, too.
Asian men do the absolute worst on dating apps.
It's a reflection, mind you, Mr. Kersey, of real-life attitudes that both heterosexual women and gay men... How does he know what gay men think about Asian men?
Apparently, gay men aren't attracted to Asian men either.
This is, mind you, rooted in generations of Asian men being desexualized in nearly every aspect of modern life.
Did you know Asian men are desexualized?
Literally everything you're talking about, I've never given any thought to.
Asian men, they're desexualized in every aspect of modern life.
I guess, I don't know, chemically castrated?
What's going on here?
He said, I spent so much of my younger years trying to avoid anything that made me look, sound, or feel Asian.
I probably lost out on some great friendships with other Asian people just because I didn't want to be seen with them.
Wow.
Sounds like his bigotry cost him.
There's a solution.
There's a solution.
There are countries where there are almost exclusively Asians.
That means exclusively Asian women?
Yes, Asian women and Asian men.
There are places where you would fit right in.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I mean, it's sad.
It's sad.
It's sad when a man can't get a date, but it just sometimes happens.
Now, can you quickly tell us what's happening in orchestras these days?
Oh, real quick.
Dallas Morning News came up with a story at the beginning of the month, U.S.
orchestras are still mostly white.
Here's how to change that.
The biggest problem, you know, again, whiteness is a pejorative in 2020 to America.
Anything that is too white must immediately be brought to its knees and diversified, because that's what diversity means.
It means lessening the amount of white people who are participating in said activity, like the orchestra.
So, For decades, American orchestras have struggled with the lack of diversity among their musicians.
They've changed auditions, set up fellowships, diversified their concert programs.
Alas, the largest U.S.
orchestras remain loosely white.
Over the past 20 years, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra has employed three black musicians full-time.
How many years?
20?
20 years.
20 years!
Three black!
Three black musicians full-time, but none now.
It has four Latino musicians.
The situation is not much different at the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, which has one Latino musician and just two black musicians.
Both orchestras employ more Asian and Asian-American musicians, with 14 at the Dallas Symphony and 11 at the Fort Worth Symphony.
After the murder of George Floyd by police officer in 2020, U.S.
orchestras responded to calls for action by featuring more composers of color and bringing in more diverse guest conductors and soloists than ever.
But two years later, far too little has been done to change how orchestras hire and keep their musicians, says the Black Orchestral Network, which was launched this week by black musicians from more than 40 orchestras.
Black Orchestral Network.
Okay.
So they're going to bring in their brothers and their sisters.
You can read the rest of the article again.
The headline is, US orchestras are still mostly white.
Here's how to change that.
Again, it's a problem.
How are they going to change it?
I mean, just don't hire white people.
There you go.
Fire the white people, hire non-whites.
That's how, but again, Asians don't qualify as, you know, they're not diverse.
Yes.
Well, you know, for decades, for decades, the plan has been, or the practice has been to do blind auditions.
People practice behind a screen.
You have absolutely no idea who it is.
No idea.
But, you know, that's got to end.
That's got to end.
Because too many white people pop out from the screen once they're done playing.
Asians are even more disproportionately likely.
Look, those figures you gave us for Asians, I bet they are vastly overrepresented.
But, as you say, white is bad.
