Time Text
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jerry Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable co-host Paul Kersey.
The date is July 27th, Hanno Domini, 2022, and I am very pleased and almost startled to announce that this is the 300th episode of myself and Mr. Kersey.
So, Mr. Kersey, I think we owe each other mutual congratulations.
That's an extraordinary number.
I agree.
I agree.
That's a lot of episodes.
We lead an episodic life, it seems.
Well, as usual, we will commemorate this 300th episode by beginning with listener comments.
One person writes in to say, don't forget to celebrate BIPOC Mental Health Month in a podcast before the end of July.
We better make a note of that, Mr. Kersey.
Originally, it was known as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, but now it's BIPOC Mental Health Month.
I had never heard of either.
Had you?
When I saw that email from the listener, I thought to myself, I guess every month has to be designated to either LGBTQ or some racial minority to celebrate.
That's right.
Well, see, after all, it's BIPOC mental health.
Not so white people can go as crazy as they like all month long, right?
We can just be mentally sick.
Of course, we are probably incurably mentally sick.
So there's probably no white people cure them of racism month because that would be impossible.
There's also a comment on yoga.
That is more or less directed to you, I believe.
Remember we had a story about this lady, this Indian lady in London who doesn't like the way that yoga is being taught in London to these beautiful, slim, blonde ladies and their lovely outfits.
Well, our listener writes in to say, When I realized you did not receive a correction to the yoga colonization issue, see this was two, this was two episodes ago, and our listener was expecting that last episode we would get a correction to our error.
She says I had to get in contact and share that yoga poses were invented by white men.
As a long-time yoga practitioner, I know that the yoga poses people do today were adapted from a Swedish man named Per-Hendrik Ling and a Danish man, Nils Buck.
Yoga is a combination of European gymnastics, from both Ling and Book, British Army calisthenics, the YMCA, and Indian yoga sutras.
Sutras, of course, are philosophical texts only, and contain precisely zero yoga poses, says our well-informed listener.
Please tell Yogi Curzi that the next time he's on his mat behind a hottie in her yoga pants in Downward Dog, he can give a little bow to Mr. Ling and Mr. Book.
Ha ha, she includes.
Of course, there are others who claim to have invented yoga themselves, like a woman whose last name is Devi.
There are also black people who say they invented yoga.
Of course, they invented everything after all.
They call it Kemetic Yoga, which is said to have been originated in Egypt by various hoteps.
However, when you compare books and Ling's gymnastics from their texts to yoga poses that Indians claim is theirs, you can see just how similar they are.
And she writes, here's the best article that I know of explaining the yoga tradition and its evolution.
This is at a site called Mere Orthodoxy, and the article is called Let's Call It Danish Gymnastics.
Well, I confess, Mr. Kersey, all of this was news to me, and I would bet you dollars or donuts it is news to 99.9% of our listeners.
So it sounds as though the Indians have done a very successful job of culturally appropriating yoga from the white man.
This email that we got from a listener just shows the diversity of the audience that we've cultivated for 299 episodes Mr. Taylor because I had no idea as a practitioner of yoga Love going to do Bikram yoga, by the way, that's when you're in about a hundred and ten degree 120 degree temps and you're doing all this so you're getting a great sweat really great cardio again, we know where Saunas originate from that's of course Scandinavia, but this yoga that we learned being from from White people it's just fascinating and we can't thank our listeners enough for helping Educate us along the way.
I'll say and let us repeat how they can do so they can write directly to me at amaran.com and click on the contact us tab or the other alternative is a So it's all one word, because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word, because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
And we want to thank every one of our listeners again for helping us reach this really great milestone.
I think I'm gonna have to watch Zack Snyder's movie 300 in honor of this in the next couple days.
Maybe we should go back and listen to episode number one.
I wonder what that was like.
I wonder what we covered.
It's probably quite cringeworthy, but be that as it may.
Then another comment here.
Thank you for commenting on black crime in Canada in your episode number 295.
People seem to think it's strictly an American cultural or socioeconomic issue.
We have exactly the same problems up here.
Everything from attacks on elderly people to robberies to kidnapping.
Just do a Google image search for Toronto shooting suspect and tell me just how surprised you are.
Keep up the great work.
You have a lot of fans in the great white north.
Well, that's what we used to call Canada, but now that implies exclusively to snow, alas.
Well, Canada, you know, Canada is actually whiter, I believe, than the United States.
So regardless of what's happened immigration-wise for the past couple of decades, but Alberta, Calgary, Alberta is still very, very white.
Maybe Vancouver and Toronto and Montreal.
They are not, but, you know, Canada's still a wonderful place.
Well, the fact is they are turning non-white at a considerably more rapid rate than the United States.
They have got a, in terms of the percentage of the population, they have a higher percentage of immigrants.
So, they will get past us on the non-white count before too long.
But, Mr. Kersey, I would like you to lead off with some of these desperate efforts that people are resorting to.
Some of them have a familiar ring.
These desperate efforts to stop crime.
We've talked about Philadelphia so much till we're blue in the face.
We know that Philadelphia is seeing homicides and non-fatal shootings at just extraordinary rates, Mr. Taylor, beyond what happened in the early 1990s in the so-called crack wars.
We, of course, talked about a couple weeks ago, a couple episodes ago, the 73-year-old black man who was beaten to death With a traffic cone at 3 a.m.
by seven black teenagers.
I don't know if you know this, but one of those black female teenagers was just shot in the face in a separate incident.
No, I didn't know that.
Yes, yes.
She survived.
Probably at 3.30 in the morning too when she ought to be in bed getting ready for school.
Yeah, I think we talked about curfews in this city.
I mean, it's fascinating to think this is where the Constitution was signed and so much of our heritage as Americans comes from Philadelphia, you know, so not far from where the Liberty Bell still stands.
This story is just incredible.
It's Stop and Frisk, which overwhelmingly targeted Black and Latino residents, gets a new look from two Philadelphia leaders amid soaring gun violence.
So, you and I both know Stop and Frisk has been excoriated across the country as being racially biased and disparate impact and stuff, but here we go.
In Philadelphia, in response to the city's ongoing gun violence crisis and the shooting of two police officers at an Independence Day celebration this past 4th of July, leaders on the Philadelphia City Council said it was time to re-examine the controversial police tactic known as Stop and Frisk.
Now, when you hear that paragraph, Mr. Taylor, what do you think?
I mean, again, common knowledge that worked before, it was deemed racist, and now it's like, well, wait a second.
The inmates are running the asylum.
We might need to bring this back.
Well, of course it had a disparate impact.
All objective measures have a disparate impact because the races do not behave in identical ways.
So if you're going to ban something just because it impacts Blacks and Hispanics more seriously than it does Whites or Asians, then again, you've got to obliterate all rules.
This is something that America will eventually have to wake up to.
Which I believe you talked about in a recent video that was just exceptional over at the I guess, is Brumble or BitChute the primary method for your videos?
Probably have equal views on Rumble and Bitchute.
The most recent one, though, about black levels of crime, particularly black juvenile crime, some of these shocking crimes, Rumble decided that was just a little bit too much for it.
But for the most part, they've been pretty good about leaving our videos up.
So we're going to be trying to be quiet about that and not offend them too badly.
Excellent.
Let's get back to the story here in Philadelphia.
This is from Council President Darrell L. Clark.
He said this, quote, we have a lot of citizens in the streets of Philadelphia talking about when are we going to look at stop and frisk in a constitutionally enacted way?
Clark's suggestion to revisit the practice in which officers stop and sometimes search pedestrians or drivers over suspicious behavior, it drew a chilly reception from Mayor Jim Kenney, who's a white man, who ran for office on a pledge to end illegal police stops.
How about Clark?
Is he black?
Do you know?
I believe he's black.
I'll check that and confirm that after the story.
So I believe Darrell is a name that Nine times out of ten, it is an African-American name.
See, it's so interesting to me the way black people are realizing, look, we have got to try something.
Too many of our people are being shot, and so hats off to this guy.
Yeah, so the city's aggressive approach in the past, it's been criticized as Racially biased and often legally groundless.
And the mayor said Wednesday he was, quote, not willing to bring that back, end quote, dismissing it as, quote, just randomly going through people's pockets, end quote.
Well, of course, if you randomly go through people's pockets and they have a gun, you're able to get them off the streets.
That's one more black or brown life that is protected because, as you and I are both aware from Philadelphia police statistics, Almost 98% of homicides involve a black or brown shooter and a black or brown suspect.
Now, Mr. Taylor, the Philadelphia police used to publish this information up until about 2016.
I know this because I proliferated it.
I'm the guy who actually looked at it, found it on the website, and got this in a lot of people's hands and before people's eyes.
And they stopped publishing it.
I can't remember.
I think it was when Krasner became the DA.
That's when they discontinued.
The transparency of who was committing fatal and nonfatal shootings there in Philadelphia.
Here's what Mayor Kinney said, quote, those were old police tactics that put us in a situation that kind of made a confrontation between our communities and our police department.
If If the Black City Councilman could define what he's actually talking about, maybe we could have a conversation."
I think he's talking about just bringing back stop-and-frisk, not worrying about what happens between communities and the police department when members of the black and brown community are basically just creating a situation where Philadelphia's violence rivals that of New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, and makes it one of the most dangerous places in Western civilization.
Yep.
Yep.
Bring it back.
Yeah.
And then just a couple more quotes.
Such a conversation would surely be fraught with questions about how Philadelphia police interact with citizens and suspects, especially in communities of color.
And as you mentioned, it's black and brown individuals collectively who comprise the bulk of those committing illegal acts in Philadelphia.
Again, if it were white people, I don't think there'd be a push for a blowback against this because You know, no one exists to excuse white crime.
Maybe that's just me.
Well, now isn't Richmond trying something else?
Oh my goodness.
You and I know this city all too well.
Let me get down to the story here.
Two seconds.
Richmond is doing something fascinating and I'm surprised this hasn't become more of a story.
Richmond police have arrested dozens based on a list of potential shooters.
This was published on July 25, 2022 on one of the public Is that a dog whistle for black?
So, representatives of the Richmond Police Department in Virginia said last week that
they've been compiling a list of people suspected of being shooters.
Those on the list primarily reside in Richmond's public housing neighborhoods, according to
department representatives.
Is that a dog whistle for black?
I know a lot about the great city of Richmond, a lot, and I can tell you that the Richmond
public housing is some of the absolute worst in the nation.
It's almost exclusively black.
Richmond, Virginia, is...
is a throwback to the old America where it's just basically white and black people.
Not much diversity outside of that.
Pockets of Asians and stuff, but it's a lot like Columbus, Ohio.
It is a white, black city.
It's barely a black majority now because of so much gentrification.
But I'm going to tell you, you can be on Monument, you can be in downtown, and then all of a sudden you turn and you are in some of the nastiest Public housing in the country that rivals that of Atlanta or Memphis or, or, you know, probably Detroit, Detroit, Gary.
Yeah.
Continue.
Yeah.
Continue with the Richmond.
Yeah.
So approximately 100 individuals are on the list, according to major Ronnie Armstead. He led the department's effort in compiling
the list, which includes individuals who don't have a criminal record.
In addition to focusing on people who have shot others previously,
RPD also added victims of gun violence and people who will shoot other people to the list. As you know, one of the
things that happens in a population lacking impulse control and future time
orientation, you're gonna have retaliatory shootings.
Specifically, one of the things we see so synonymous with the black community are shootings at funerals.
So where people go to get retaliation on those who did shooting.
So here's this quote.
Quote, they came up with a list of individuals that are known to be shooters.
You're violent people that are known to be shooters, even if they didn't have a record, but they're known to be a shooter.
He talked about this to the Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board of Commissioners of Richmond just the other day.
According to Armstead, police decide whether a person will shoot other people by investigating their background and connections to confirm perpetrators of gun violence.
Interesting.
I mean, this is something that police should be doing all across the country.
It seems like simple police work, if you're trying to create that diagram of, wow, we have You know, that ripple effect of criminality.
So, in a follow-up interview Monday, Armstead told DPM News that, quote, the knowledge we have of them, like people talking to us in the community, the involvements they have, are going to help our PD make that determination.
And you can imagine who the usual suspects are a little upset about this.
According to the ACLU, racial profiling refers to the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals First suspicion of crime based on the individual's race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin.
A platform that collects and analyzes government data reported that black people make up 60% of those livered in poverty in Richmond.
Now, one of the reasons why I find that so fascinating is we're always told that poverty creates crime, and yet I've seen statistics that show that 95% or greater than that, Mr. Taylor, are black people who are
responsible for the gun violence, fatal or non-fatal, in Richmond, and yet 40% of those
living in poverty in Richmond are not black.
So if poverty creates crime, again, why do blacks dominate?
But this list is not based on race at all.
It's based on whether or not you know people who are going to be shooters.
I understand they look into your social media profiles.
If you're walking around with guns and flashing big wads of money, they probably are inclined to put you on the list, too.
It's not racial profiling at all.
It just has the disparate effect that all of these rules inevitably have.
Yeah, don't post a picture of you with your bling on Instagram and Facebook or Twitter or, you know, do a stupid Snapchat video and you'll be fine.
So what they're going after are the so-called Big Six, and in Richmond, the largest public housing neighborhood, they're often referred to as the Big Six by both public housing advocates and law enforcement.
They're Crichton, Fairfield, Gilpin, Hillside, Mosby, and Whitcomb courts.
Again, if you're ever in RVA, if you're ever in Richmond, you do not want to go anywhere near the Big Six, especially if you are a white individual.
It's called Operation Red Ball, Mr. Taylor.
The officers have been engaged in this initiative to create a list of individuals to observe Since November of 2021.
of 2021. He said Monday the department has succeeded in this mission by arresting at
least 45 residents of public housing across the city who were among those arrested on suspicion
of 188 felony and 138 misdemeanor charges in connection to the operation. I think we need
to take a moment to applaud the city of Richmond for having a police department that's doing this
to try and make life better for all citizens regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,
etc. etc.
Well, yes, good for them.
All these efforts, I applaud.
And let's hope that they succeed and that the number of shootings and murders goes down.
Now there's another effort to cut back on crime.
This is in Orange County, California at Knott's Berry Farm.
Isn't one of these places, uh, it's one of these places called one of the happiest places on earth.
There's supposed to be this friendly amusement park.
Was that, was that Walt Disney World?
I don't know.
In any case, it's supposed to be just happy, happy, happy, but it is stepping up its security in response to fighting that broke out last Saturday, forcing the park to close three hours early and sending patrons fleeing.
One person said on TikTok that she just didn't know why teenagers were punching people at random.
The park said in a statement, the decision was made to close the park three hours early due to unruly behavior and altercations involving a number of teenagers.
This behavior did not align with our park's values.
Fancy that.
But rumors of a shooting prompted scared Patreons to sprint out of the area.
But that turned out not to be true.
No shots were fired.
So there's going to be a new policy.
Visitors ages 17 and younger must be accompanied by a chaperone, but a chaperone has to be at least 21 years old and is not expected to be able to look after more than three visitors age 17 and under.
And the chaperone has to remain with all three at all times and be available by telephone throughout the time they're in the park.
Now this policy of course is aimed at curbing the number of teenagers who often get dropped off unaccompanied They meet up with pals and then you know who starts doing you know what.
Apparently one of the real common problems is that members of a particular party will join others who are already in line saving a spot.
So say you're in line, and it's a long line, you want to get on the, I don't know, the Knott's Berry Coaster, and all of a sudden you see another 15 people join this person who's saving a spot, and if you're with 15 of your pals, then things can get a little furry.
Something like that happened just in Walt Disney World just earlier this week.
Two families started brawling in the Magic Kingdom over somebody cutting in line.
Which, by the way, if I could interject, I encourage everybody listening to this podcast to search out the video of the magic moment at the Magic Kingdom.
That fight is worth watching.
Yes, they were really quite diligent at slanging it out.
Now, of course, there are people who are complaining about this new Knotts-Bray foreign policy.
It's not fair!
It's discriminatory to single parents and families with more than three children, says one mother who says, we have a big family.
And so as usual, as usual, everybody pays for the misbehavior of blacks.
That's just one of the rules of life in the United States of America.
Now, here is an effort not to stop crime.
We've had all of these valiant efforts to stop the fistfights and shootings, but in Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo, Michigan, it has decriminalized littering, public defecation and public urination.
Kalamazoo Mayor David Anderson said that part of the reason for the change was a concern about equity.
Well, Mr. Kersey, you and I know what that means.
Boy, but you know, the other side can dog whistle too.
Equity.
So we know who's doing the defecating and the urinating and the littering.
Commissioner Stephanie Hoffman recommended people develop empathy and compassion about the issues.
Now are those the first feelings that will leap into your tender heart if you see somebody defecating on the sidewalk as you walk down the street?
I'm not sure that would be my initial feeling.
Luckily in my life I've never had that You've never had the experience.
I've never seen that, and I hope I'm going to knock on some wood.
I hope that never happens.
Well, I don't know.
You should broaden your experiences.
Go to Kalamazoo.
Maybe I should just go to India, right?
Yes.
Now, business owners are understandably unhappy.
There is an establishment called Pop City Popcorn.
And co-owner Becky Brim says that she is worried that aggressive and unstable panhandlers, I think unstable is a euphemism for out of their mind crazy, panhandlers could drive people away from downtown.
Adding, people have to clean up where they have defecated right in front of the door of your business, she said.
We can't have that.
Well, apparently we can.
She's just going to have to learn to live with it.
Now here's an interesting story about Hispanics.
Did you realize that Hispanics dislike Joe Biden even more than whites?
This was interesting, interesting data to me.
I read that in Ryan Grodusky's sub stack, which I encourage everyone to subscribe to.
So yeah, it's amazing.
Yes.
Apparently only 19% of Hispanics approve of Joe Biden's job.
And this has thrown into chaos the Democrat plans to win heavily Hispanic states like Texas and Florida.
Biden overall has crashed to just 31% approval, connected in recent polls.
And it found that he had just 61% approval among blacks.
And that's far lower than the usual Democrat range of 90 to 95%.
So not even blacks like him very much.
29% approval among whites and 19% approval among Hispanics.
Isn't that interesting?
I wish there were Asian statistics here, but in this story, nobody seems to be paying attention to Asians.
49% of Hispanics strongly disapprove of Biden.
That's more than the 45% among whites who strongly disapprove.
And Hispanics would prefer Republican control of the House.
By a margin of 42% 40% and the Senate by 45 to 42%.
And here says this is a National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman saying in spring 2021.
They released the Hispanic battleground survey that found that Hispanic voters largely reject the pillars of the Democrats' agenda heading into the midterms, including wasteful spending, open borders, banning voter ID.
I bet they're not keen on whooping up trans people either, but that doesn't seem to be included here.
In any case, 73% of Hispanics told Quinnipiac they believe the country is worse off today than it was a year before.
That is more than the 70% of whites who felt the same.
Hispanics are outscoring whites on every single one of these categories, Mr. Kersey.
Now, liberals attribute Joe Biden's lack of Hispanic support on disappointment over his failure to pass immigration amnesty.
Well, that apparently is complete fudge.
Only 3% of Hispanics said immigration or amnesty is the most urgent issue facing the country.
3%!
And the Democrats are counting on their wanting amnesty.
Wow.
I mean, this is really so fascinating.
Hispanics, in some respects, are turning more conservative than whites.
The poll also found 76% of Hispanics don't want Biden to run for re-election.
That is more than the 74% of whites who oppose a Biden re-election.
However, Hispanics are also opposed to a re-election bid by former President Donald Trump.
56% to 44%.
Now, it'd be very interesting to know what the white, I bet the white opposition to Donald Trump is probably along those lines, too.
We'll see.
I'd agree with that.
Yeah, I'd agree with that.
You know, it's interesting.
one of the things we know is that as the Democrat Party becomes more,
just more obviously pro-Black and And that's one of the things we've seen.
You are seeing Hispanics pull away.
Unfortunately, I've read some statistics and some studies that show that white college-educated Americans are increasingly gravitating toward the Democrat Party.
So it's this strange dichotomy you have.
And it's going to be fascinating to watch what happens in 2022, where there are so many important races.
And then, of course, Whatever's going to happen in 2024, I personally don't believe Joe Biden is going to run.
I think there's no way.
There's no way.
It's the funny thing about white people.
The more education they get, the stupider they get.
And yet they also seek out living almost exclusively with other highly educated white people while they all sit around and toast to their love of diversity and yet their fondness for almost exclusively white zip codes It's a funny thing, isn't it?
But now we have some other, we have a set of rather peculiar crime stories here.
I just learned of Bishop Lamar Whitehead.
You know about him?
He's one of our... I get it.
Yes, yes.
He's one of our African American... Sorry, there's a little bit of feedback.
My apologies there.
Well, apparently from his website, he says he has excelled in the business world.
This is despite the fact that on his website, he claims that his father was murdered by police and that he was railroaded and spent a dozen years in jail, despite the fact that he was innocent.
He says he's now excelled in the business world.
From owning his own mortgage firm and real estate firm to being a well-respected advisor to very prominent men and women in various political positions, over the years, Bishop Whitehead developed very valuable relationships with judges, congressmen, women, senators, and other lawmakers who now seek out his advice, as well as his endorsement during the election processes.
Bishop Whitehead can always be heard saying, to God be the glory for the great things he has done.
He can always be heard saying that.
Well, I don't think he is a bishop in the Catholic Church.
He is a bishop, in fact, in something of his own.
I think he started from scratch.
It's called Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in New York City.
So when he says, to God be the glory of the great things he's done, he apparently has done great things for the bishop.
He's a very flashy dresser, wears gold chains, drives a Rolls Royce.
But during last Sunday service, he was dressed in a very spiky maroon suit.
With gold-trimmed collar and gold-trimmed sleeves.
Oh, he's a sharp dresser.
He was wearing a large gold chain and a large ring on each finger.
And he was in the middle of his sermon preaching the gospel when three masked gunmen walked right in in the middle of his live stream Sunday service.
So they're not camera shy, these boys.
They stole an estimated $400,000 in bling from the bishop and his wife, who was similarly bedazzled.
$400,000.
I mean, do you and your wife walk around with $400,000 of bling on you every night?
Well, you probably don't go to church often enough where you might wear your $400,000 worth of bling.
No, I go to church every Sunday, and I can tell you that I am modestly dressed in a Probably a Tommy Hilfiger suit, and I'm wearing a nice watch.
That's about the only... maybe a ring on my left index finger?
Or not index finger, your left ring finger.
But no, Mr. Taylor, I do not like to wear so-called bling.
I don't think you do either.
You're not worth robbing, then.
Well, I guess the congregation's gonna have to pass the hat to get the couple back to dressing as they deserve.
And the robbery and the maroon suit and everything else are on YouTube for all to see.
And I must admire Bishop Whitehead.
He's a pretty quick thinking guy.
He hit the deck.
He hit the deck with no hesitation when the robbers marched up and pointed a gun at him.
So we shouldn't laugh about this.
But I do find a certain irony here in this guy who was once a yard bird.
Being robbed right in mid-sermon, in mid-stream.
Boy, oh boy, things are changing.
Now, here is another one of those stories that could be called, Another Rapper Rests in Pieces.
His name is Raleigh Banz, a Florida rapper.
He was born and raised in Tampa, and he posted a social media challenge for his rivals to come deal with him.
And I'll quote from it, but there is a word that begins with N, over which I will have to bleep.
He says, a lot of you bleep bleeps know where I live.
He posted on his Instagram.
I sleep in peace, but if a bleep bleep want to smoke, I'm at my crib in five minutes.
Well, the rapper then offered his precise location and five minutes later, on the dot, he was gunned down in the exact location where he said he would be.
The suspect then fled the scene in an unknown direction and remained at large.
Now the Hillsbury County Sheriff, he is a sharp guy, he says at this time the shooting does not appear random.
Doesn't seem random to me.
Well, as it turns out, social media have led to a lot of murders over the years.
We talked about that the other day.
People taunt their rivals and then the rivals show up and blaze away and the other guys blaze back and people get caught in the crossfire.
A fellow named Pop Smoke, I'd never heard of him, but he is another rapper who has gone to glory.
He accidentally revealed his address online, and very shortly thereafter, Pop Smoke, whose real name was Bashard Jackson, only age 20, was killed by intruders in a home invasion at his Hollywood Hills house.
I mean, think of that.
You have to keep your address so quiet, because if that becomes known, I mean, maybe in the same day, there's going to be a home invasion and people kill you.
What is it about rappers that makes people want to kill them?
Now, I hate rap music, too, but not enough to kill the rappers.
I mean, I can see how somebody might feel that way.
But boy, being a rapper seems to be a hazardous profession.
I have no words.
I mean, again, I go back to what you were talking about, the story about the very Reverend Bacon-esque character and the story about the the former felon turned Bishop.
I mean, is that the prosperity gospel you hear of, you know, these white megachurches attacked so much for?
You never hear black church.
It's certainly been prosperity gospel for the bishop.
He's got that kind of money to splash out on bling and Rolls Royces.
Who knows where he lives?
I don't think it's probably all bought on tick, but you never know.
But, yep, yep.
It's real prosperity gospel for him.
Now there's another crime story.
This one is really gruesome.
I'm sure you were aware of this because this actually got a little bit of play.
But at 6.30 in the morning in New York City, just a few days ago, a 39-year-old white man was crossing the street.
A car hits him and sends him flying.
You can see this on surveillance video.
And then what happens?
Well, the victim is lying there motionless.
You can see him too.
Really a pretty clear image.
And the car stops.
And what do the people do when they hop out of the car?
Well, two of them run right over to this guy.
They don't care if he is needing help.
The only thing they do is rifle through his pockets.
Then they get back in and drive away.
The victim later taken to the hospital in a really bad, beat-up situation.
But you know, You have to admire this sort of quick thinking.
You know, it would never occur to me to think, great!
You know, if you hit a guy, he goes flying, he's lying motionless.
It would never occur to me to think, wow, now's a great opportunity to go through his pocket.
So these are pretty resourceful fellows, and well, sure enough, they are African-American fellow citizens, but an NYPD spokesman said that there was no evidence to suggest that hitting the man was deliberate.
It was just an accident, and they spontaneously rode to the occasion and did the needful and freed this guy of whatever excess cash he might have had.
Now, I believe you have a couple of medical stories for us.
Yeah, I'm just thinking about that story from, we talked about Atlanta from a few weeks ago where there was that restaurant in one of the blackest parts of Atlanta where they have a security guard who was going to work, got shot in the back, falls over, some guy You know, takes his gun, walks off, and then another person comes up and they rifle through his pockets.
That's right.
And there was a bystander who watches it all, smoking a cigarette, shakes his head, this is all on security camera, and then walks off, and it's just, that reminded me of that story.
So, this is from Natural News, this is one of those websites that was basically excommunicated from Google and Facebook and Twitter, I'm sorry, I guess Google's called Alphabet now and Facebook is called Meta, but here's the headline.
In order to graduate from medical school in America, you now have to conform to white privilege allegations.
So in order to practice medicine in the United States, you don't just have to recite the Hippocratic Oath, the next generation of doctors, We'll be the first to have to undergo an extensive right of anti-white brainwashing in medical school.
The Association of American Medical Colleges, the AAMC, just released new guidelines for teaching medicine that require students to learn about white privilege in America.
Medical school students will also need to achieve certain competencies in concepts like anti-colonialism.
Anti-colonialism?
Anti-colonialism, yes sir!
Oh, I guess you can't practice medicine without an anti-colonial mentality, okay.
Yes, you have to have an anti-colonial proclivity, and more importantly, race is a social construct, so when we're talking about You know, the fact that, well, what is it?
I'm trying to think here.
What is the disease that blacks are more susceptible to?
Well, Bidil.
Bidil is an anti-high blood pressure medicine that is prescribed only for blacks.
That's right.
But I guess you got to stop prescribing that because it's just a social construct.
Exactly.
Race is a social construct.
Say it as a mantra 20 times and it's going to be true.
So in order to pass their classes and get licensed to practice.
So think about that.
achieve certain competencies in concepts like anti-colonialism and race as a social construct
in order to pass their classes and get licensed to practice in the United States of America.
Yeah, so— Get sick elsewhere.
Yeah, so since the founding of the United States, there have been systemic health and
health care inequities grounded in racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and other forms
of discrimination that still permeate our current health system, reads a new release from
Have fun.
The AAMC entitled, quote, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Competencies Across the Learning Continuum, end quote.
Now, does this outfit, as far as you know, has the power to set conditions like that for granting of medical degrees?
I guess it does.
I would imagine that since it's the Association of American Medical Colleges, I assume maybe we have a listener who can help us out here from an accreditation standpoint, and from a credentialing standpoint, yes, I would imagine is the answer.
I think it's an affirmative, unfortunately.
Quote, recent broad societal calls for social justice and the disparate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic Mr. Taylor, I am proud to say that I was not vaxxed.
I have not gotten COVID.
But one of the things we do know about COVID-19 is that the majority of the people who have died are over the age of 60 and have three or more comorbidities.
And as you and I are both aware of, looking at statistics for obesity, Hispanics and blacks are far more obese, far more likely to be obese than are white people.
And I believe the COVID-19 pandemic, the so-called disparate impact, it's negligible.
It's like 1.5 times more blacks die.
I happen to have the statistics at my fingertips.
Fire at will.
That's called a segue.
Well, yeah, we hear over and over again that COVID has been a terrible plague for non-whites.
But now, after the dust has settled and we have really extended statistics, that's not the case at all.
Here we have the multiple of likelihood to get COVID.
Now, if whites are one, of course, a lot of cases are not reported these days.
People take a test and they'll just stay at home.
But if whites are one, American Indians get it at 1.6.
In other words, 60% more likely.
Blacks, only 10% more likely to get it.
Hispanics, 50% more likely.
Asians are 0.7.
In other words, 30% less likely to get COVID.
Now, what about the outcomes?
Now, this is very interesting.
Indians are 1.6 times more likely than whites to get COVID, but three times more likely to be hospitalized.
Blacks are 2.3 times more likely to be hospitalized.
So when they get, so both Blacks and Hispanics, again, Indians are, American Indians are 1.6 times more likely to get the disease, 3 times more likely to get hospitalized.
Blacks only 10%, 1.1 times more likely to get the disease, 2.3 times more likely to get hospitalized.
So then Hispanics, they get the disease at 1.5 times the white rate, they are hospitalized at 2.2.
Asians at 0.8 times the white rate.
So, they are less likely to get it, less likely to be hospitalized.
Now, this is very interesting.
The percentages of the various races over age 65 when they are hospitalized, well that's whites, 54.6%.
Mostly they are 65 or over.
Blacks, only 33.7% are 65 or over.
So a lot of young blacks, they get the disease and they have to go to the hospital.
Hispanics are even worse.
Only 24% are age 65 or over.
I think these are very significant statistics.
White people who end up in the hospital are older.
And then when it comes to whether or not they had asthma, These statistics are not as dramatically different as you might have expected, but ones who went to the hospital with asthma, whites are 30%, blacks 36%.
Kidney disease, whites 16.5%, blacks 20%.
Diabetes, whites 30%, blacks 36%.
Kidney disease, whites 16.5%, blacks 20%.
Diabetes, whites 30%, blacks 36%.
So, as you were just pointing out before I got into these numbers,
the blacks and Hispanics are more likely to have these comorbidities that make the disease
much more serious when they actually get it.
And when it comes to obesity, the whites who end up in the hospital, 46.9% are obese.
That's a lot of fat people.
But in the case of blacks, 54.3% are obese.
So, blacks are more likely to be obese, have asthma, kidney disease, diabetes, despite the fact that they appear to get the disease only 10% more often than whites.
Now listen to this.
Deaths in the hospital.
Whites, 10.8% of whites die in the hospital, but the hospitals appear to be more successful at curing blacks.
In other words, only because only 7.8% die in the hospital.
Now, maybe they go to the hospital when they're not really as sick as whites, but fewer blacks die in the hospital despite the fact that they are twice as likely, I'm sorry, yes, twice as likely to go to the hospital after they get COVID.
Hispanics, 9.4% die in hospital, and this is interesting.
Asians, 11.8%, more than the number of whites.
10.8% of whites who go to the hospital with COVID die, 11.8%.
So Asians may be hesitating to go to the hospital until they're really sick, but in the case of American Indians, 12.2%.
They're the group that dies most frequently in the hospital.
So, as it turns out, COVID has killed a smaller percentage of Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans over the last two years than white Americans.
That is the bottom line.
So all of this incessant jabber about how COVID, oh, it just goes to show you how awful everything is for Black people and Hispanics, it is, in one good German word, baloney.
Or is baloney an Italian word?
Yes, you probably.
It's all a bunch of Frankfurters.
So, but I believe you had another medical story and that had to do with monkeypox.
Speak to us of monkeypox.
So, give me one second to bring this up.
I've got it in Adobe because it's a letter that the city of New York put out and it is hilarious.
It's the The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Commissioner is a MD and a PhD, Ashwin Vazen, and he wrote this letter.
He's the Commissioner, like I said, of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
He wrote this.
It was addressed to the Director General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Hebrides.
He's that Ethiopian with the unpronounceable name.
I'm not even trying to pronounce his last name.
It starts with a G, ends with an S, and there's a lot of consonants and vowels in between that Wheel of Fortune would be envious of.
But it's July 26, 2022 was the date, and here's what it says.
Here's what Ashwin Vassen writes.
On behalf of the city of New York, I'd like to extend our gratitude for your continued support and surveillance, preparedness, and outreach response activities.
It's a U.S.
orthopoxvirus monkeypox outbreak.
Of course, this has only impacted about 3,000 people, but whatever.
Unfortunately, once again, New York City finds itself at the epicenter of a contagious disease that is affecting the fabric of our communities.
We remain concerned about the rapidly increasing transmission rate of this virus and limited access to testing resources and vaccine supply.
Further, we have grown concerned for the potentially devastating and stigmatizing effects that the messaging around monkeypox virus virus can have on these already vulnerable communities.
Therefore, I write to urge you to act immediately on renaming the monkeypox virus as the who stated they were during a June 14th press briefing over five weeks ago.
NYC joins many health experts and community leaders who have expressed their concern about continuing to exclusively use the term monkeypox given the stigma it may engender and the painful and racist history with within which terminology like this is rooted for communities of color.
Monkeypox is a misnomer, as the virus does not originate in monkeys and was only classified as such due to an infection seen in research primates.
As we know, alternative terminology is possible and entities are starting to use terms such as HMPXV and MPV.
We need leadership from WHO to ensure consistency in naming, excuse me, To reduce confusion to the public.
Further, as we reminded by fierce advocates who served on the front lines.
As the HIV-AIDS epidemic emerged, early misinformation about the virus led people to believe that it was spread to humans after people in Africa engaged in sexual activity with monkeys.
This kind of false messaging created incalculable harm and stigma for decades to come.
Continuing to use the term monkeypox to describe the current outbreak may reignite these traumatic feelings of racism and stigma.
Particularly for black people and other people of color as well as members of the, get ready for it, LGBTQIA plus communities and it is possible that they may enjoy, they may avoid engaging in vital health services because of it.
The language we use in public health matters, and it has tangible effects on the safety of communities most at risk for poor health outcomes.
We know that during COVID-19 pandemic, hate crimes against Asian and Pacific Islander individuals have exponentially increased.
Hint, if you look at the NYC hate crime data, it's because of black Suspects who were attacking these Asians, especially in San Francisco.
Back to the letter, though.
In no small part due to stigmatizing racist and false names that were associated with the virus in the early 2020s.
In the early 2020s, of course, that would be when President Trump hilariously referred to it as the China virus.
Beginning in February of 2020, the New York City Commission on Human Rights received a seven-fold increase in reports of anti-Asian hate incidents, ranging from verbal assaults to innocent lives cut short by acts of targeted violence.
We fear the consequences due to monkeypox-related stigma may be exacerbated given that, in many contexts, transmission is concentrated among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex Well, Mr. Kersey, by that reasoning, there should be hate crimes against monkeys.
People are going to start insulting monkeys and assaulting monkeys if they call it monkey pox, right?
You'd imagine people would go to a zoo and they would start, yeah, throwing bananas or other sorts of...
Vegetables and fruits at innocent monkeys because of monkey pox.
One of the things we know, of course, he says that we've got to, this is critical to rename it, but last night on Fox News there was an incredible exchange between a gentleman, Ned Ryan from American Greatness, who pointed out that 95% of the 3,000 people in the United States of America who have gotten monkey pox have have gotten it, they're homosexual men, but they've gotten
it at these gay orgies. And we know that STDs spread rapidly at these events because of the great
promiscuity rates of homosexual men.
You would think that they would just go ahead and put a stop to these type of orgies if you wanted
to actually see an end to the spread of monkeypox. And I guess they don't, because it's got such a
a stigmatizing name.
This letter says that it will affect their willingness to take proper remedial action because of this bad name.
So that's why they're having orgies because it's called Monkeypox and it stigmatizes them.
At least that's the reasoning of this fool who wrote the letter.
It's not a fool, it's the person in charge of the New York City Public Health Department, and it just shows you just what an insane world we live in, where something that is literally impacting the gay male community ceased engaging in said orgies, and, you know, two weeks to stop the spread, just, hey, stop spreading, just for a couple days, dudes, and guess what?
Well, what if they called it the male sex orgy virus?
Do you think that would help or hurt?
You know what, that should be, I'll tell you what, we should petition for that to be the name, the male orgy sex virus.
And I think that, again, because we are libeling Innocent monkeys out there.
We are.
And potentially putting them at risk.
All these monkeys that are in zoos across America.
Again, we can't have what happened to the Asian community during the early days of COVID, the China virus.
So, yeah.
This letter doesn't seem to be concerned at all with the real potential victims here.
All those innocent monkeys in zoos.
It's important.
Someone's got to think about the innocent monkeys.
Yes.
Well, we have another innocent victim here.
John James Audubon.
He was a 19th century artist and ornithologist whose extensive collection of watercolor illustrations of North American birds made him a celebrated figure in the nature community.
However, as it turns out, he also owned slaves and he was opposed to abolition.
Nevertheless, Audubon societies all over the country have taken his name.
Now, his racist legacy.
They say he enslaved people.
Anybody who owns a slave these days enslaved people, as if they went on a safari to Africa and lassoed a black man and brought him back to America.
They enslaved people.
It's all well documented, but the idea of dropping a name really synonymous with birdwatching for over a century seemed unlikely.
Guess what changed that?
It was, of course, the Great Awakening following the death of George Floyd.
Now, Seattle is the first major chapter of the National Audubon Society to announce that it's going to drop Audubon's name.
The national organization has published stories about Audubon describing how wicked it was, but it's not yet said it would drop the name.
And so the Seattle chapter decided to forge ahead and it's going to announce a new name by the end of the year.
Well, I suggest that the Seattle Audubon Society should call itself the George Floyd Society, because that's where it all comes from.
And your name will be an opportunity to make the group more acceptable and more approachable to communities we don't embrace now, says Glenn Nelson, the chapter's community director.
It's an important effort towards making the community appear less elitist and more welcoming to people of color who've been historically excluded from bird watching and outdoor spaces.
You know, all those people that pull guns on people who show up and want to watch birds clear out, you know, as if they've been excluded.
Well, then they could maybe just call it the Black Power Society.
That might recruit blacks.
And this guy says the vast majority of the Seattle Chapter's members are white and retired.
Well, if they don't call it the Audubon Society, all those young, hardworking, currently employed, working 80 hours a week, non-whites, all of them join up, right?
They're white and retired.
Can't have that.
And Claire Catania, executive director of the Seattle Chapter says, knowing what we now know and hearing from community members how the Audubon name is harmful, there's no choice but to change.
However, I quoted this guy earlier, Glenn Nelson, the chapter's community director.
He said, and this to me is the most important line in the whole story, I dare say anyone under 50 years old is either completely unaware of the meaning of Audubon or have only the vaguest notion of it.
Now, as I recall, we talked about Audubon and obliterating his name an episode or two ago, and you hadn't heard of Audubon, am I correct?
100% correct.
No, I... That's right.
You've never heard of an ottoman.
John James Ottoman, when I was growing up, my parents had some of these watercolor drawings of birds on the wall because they are very beautiful representations of American birds.
And I thought everybody had heard of ottoman, but I'm over 50 and you're not.
So there you go.
This guy's got it pegged.
The crazy thing is, they are concerned that the name Audubon is keeping all of these non-whites away from birding, whereas they know very well they haven't the foggiest idea who Audubon was.
So this is strictly an exercise in self-stroking.
This is typical of the way white people behave.
They're claiming, ah, this is just horrible.
These people are being excluded.
And when we use the word Audubon, it scares them away.
Complete baloney.
Anyway, we have very little time left, but I believe we have a story about Chicago Italians.
You know, as the dust begins to settle on what actually happened since Memorial Day 2020, and people look around and realize, hey, wait a second, this was insane.
This is one of those stories where you realize there is intelligent life on Earth.
And there is glimmers of hope starting to be restored.
Italian-Americans want Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to return the Christopher Columbus statue to the park in Chicago it was removed.
They gathered last Sunday to demand the return of the Christopher Columbus statue to both Grant Park and Arrigo Park that were removed two years ago after they became the focus of protests.
Deanna Falco said this, we deserve our statues back.
We cannot erase history and just take down anyone's statue that represents their ethnicity and culture.
Frank Coconati said, they're blaming Christopher Columbus for all our problems in this world, which is not fair to Chris Columbus.
And it isn't fair to Italian Americans in Chicago.
A spokesperson for the mayor said they have no comment right now, but will be sharing a report and recommendations for the Chicago Monuments Project in the coming weeks.
Of course, that project is one that wants to try and find as many statues to white people, especially those that were put up pre-Civil Rights era, pre-1964, to come down because of their association with promoting and ensconcing white privilege into the city of Chicago.
Well, great.
Good for the Italians.
One last story here.
Did you know that Joe Biden suffers from white supremacy urgency?
Well, Kimberly Sue, a medical doctor and assistant professor of medicine at Yale University, after Jumpin' Joe was diagnosed with COVID, and it was reported that he was still working hard from his sickbed.
Remember that?
Oh, he's having meetings.
She tweeted this.
POTUS.
Working while having COVID infection epitomizes white supremacy urgency in the workplace.
Such a bad example for everyone.
So there you go.
He's trying to get the job done.
That's white supremacy urgency.
So when we make sure to get a podcast out every week, that's white supremacy urgency and it's got to go.
Well, unfortunately, Mr. Kersey, you and I do got to go because our time hath runneth out.
