Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
Today is August 16th, Year of Our Lord 2022, and with me is my indispensable, incandescent, inimitable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
I still love the inclusion of the adjective incandescent.
Incandescent.
Shining.
Gleaming.
A light unto the nations are you, sir.
And as usual, we will start with comments, and in this case, correction.
A minor correction, says he, from a New Zealand listener.
We had been talking about the idea of renaming New Zealand.
The new name would be Aotearoa.
This means the long white cloud, if I'm not mistaken, and it is Maori talk.
The Maori have gotten on the bandwagon of racial reckoning after, of course, the death of George Floyd.
This has just gone round the world.
And our listener points out, first of all, the population is actually around 5.12 million, not 3 million, as you stated.
Secondly, the most diverse city is Auckland, which houses over a million.
This is where the majority of Asians and Maori live.
The mountainous south, where I live, says our listener, is as white and rural as its mountain snow.
The country is also relatively large in landmass, about three quarters the size of Germany.
That's a good-sized place, yes.
So, thank you for that.
We always seek, we crave correction when we err.
And here is a comment.
This listener says, I realize that I am racially unreliable.
For example, for example, I don't want to live among people who look like me, as I wouldn't inflict that on anybody.
Genetic similarity would be okay though.
Now this is from man actually known to us who's quite dashing looking, but I think he underestimates his own good looks.
Genetic similarity is fine, but looking like him, he says, no, no, no.
Now he goes on to say, because we have been talking about the media ignoring cases when blacks kill police officers.
He says, the media do care.
They care a great deal about the killings of police by blacks.
They don't ignore them.
They suppress them.
Deliberate policy.
I think that was a very good point.
And let's take this opportunity to encourage our readers to write in with comments, stories that we should cover, any corrections if we have made an error.
One of the best ways, one of the two best ways, one of the two only ways to get in touch with us is to go to amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com, click the Contact Us tab, and you can send a message straight to me.
The other option is For our listeners.
You're still so wedded to the print publication.
You occasionally call them readers.
It's okay.
Did I say readers?
They are going to be readers when they go to amred.com and read the latest great piece by Gregory Hood or by yourself.
As I said, we crave correction.
And if correction comes on the spot, so much the better.
Thank you, sir.
But no, I do want to encourage everybody listening, make sure you do bookmark and head over to MRen.com.
As much as possible, the website is updated daily with news, fantastic commentary, and of course the podcast.
But to get to the matter at hand, waiting in touch with me is very simple.
Because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
Once again, all one word, because we live here at ProtonMail.com.
And when you send me an email, we will get you added.
We will get you added to the New Century Foundation email list.
You don't get that many emails.
I think it's only one award-winning email per week.
Yes, I think the award is granted exclusively by Brother Kersey here.
I have yet to see this award, but he calls it award-winning, and if he says it's award-winning, Mr. Kersey is never wrong.
It's a good email.
I think so.
Now, on to the increasingly world-famous Minneapolis school contract.
Some of our listeners, who may yet become readers, may be aware that there is a new contract for the schoolteachers.
They are ending a two-week-long teacher strike, right when school gets going.
You know, go on strike.
That really makes teachers beloved, I'm sure.
Part of the agreement is an attempt to rethink how the school district hires and maintains, keeps teachers of, drumroll please, color.
The contract says the following.
The district shall deprioritize the more senior teacher who is not a member of an underrepresented population in preference to a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers.
In other words, that is teacher talk, for we will fire white teachers first and hire white teachers last.
So that's called deprioritizing.
Well, great.
Both the school district and the teachers union leaders say this makes the city one of the, perhaps the only one in the nation that does not do, I'm sorry, that does what's called seniority disrupting.
Ordinarily in teachers' unions, it's the people with the least seniority who are fired first, and those with the most seniority who are hired back when the hiring begins.
This is going to ignore us.
It's going to sacrifice seniority to race.
BIPOCs to the head of the bus.
The agreement could prove very important soon, given that the district is likely to be cutting jobs because of budget reductions due to lower enrollments.
So, this will mean that white people, white teachers with greater seniority will be fired ahead of non-white teachers with less seniority.
Hmm.
Yes.
It also, the new contract also calls for the development of anti-bias, anti-racist staff advisory councils.
It also calls for reducing inequitable practices and behaviors in our learning places and spaces.
I'm not sure what the difference between a place and a space are.
As well as supporting educators, specifically educators of color, in navigating and disrupting our district as a predominantly white institution.
You know, lefties love to disrupt.
That's one of their favorite buzzwords, you know.
They're disrupting white supremacy when they exercise outright racial prejudice against whites.
Correct.
Now, teachers unions typically support the Democratic Party, as does the Minnesota Federation of Teachers president, Greta Kelehan.
Now she is vastly melanin deprived, this lady.
She is about as white as it's possible to be and not be snow white.
As white as the New England snow that our listener told us about.
The New Zealand snow.
Exactly.
Yes, the New Zealand snow.
Well, she recently posed for a photograph with Representative Ilhan Omar, whom she supported in her tougher-than-expected primary fight this time around, and along with the fellow squad members Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Cori Bush.
Psychologically and mentally and spiritually, she just fits right in with this BIPOC squad.
And this, to me, is one of the fascinating things about her.
She taught kindergarten for nine years in Minneapolis Public Schools before becoming Union President of the State Teachers Union.
And she spent seven of those years in one of the city's poorest schools, the Bethune Community School.
Now, the name Bethune gives it all away.
You know who that was, Mr. Kersey, because you know everything.
That's Mary McLeod Bethune.
She was the now fabled and famed civil rights agitator 1875 to 1955.
She spent her entire life in the South.
But there's a school in Minneapolis named for her.
Is there a college named after her?
I think that's, well, I think there is a Bethune.
I don't know.
That's a good question.
That is a good question.
That could very well be named for her.
In any case, out there in Minneapolis, it's named for people who look like Mary McLeod.
I'm sure it's attended by many people who look just like Mary McLeod Bethune.
So, uh, this Greta Kelehan, melanin vastly deprived, described in harrowing detail the day-to-day life of a teacher in a bathoon classroom which she characterized as being in the trenches and talked about having gone to the emergency room for injuries inflicted by her five-year-old students.
So this is a woman who has had a good look at what life among the BIPOCs is like, at least the bee of the BIPOCs.
And you wonder just how this affected her thinking.
Perhaps she realized these people cannot be controlled, at least by white people.
Maybe she's decided they need role models and teachers who look just like them.
Now, I wonder if she's not an incipient separatist?
Maybe a separatist in the making?
Because she wants non-whites to stay on at the expense of whites, after having had this miserable send-me-to-the-emergency-room experience teaching five-year-old non-white students.
This is just incredible.
Ordinarily, people who have that kind of experience come our way, not the other way, but it sounds like we might be able to meet on the other side.
It's Stockholm Syndrome, Mr. Taylor.
I don't know, but if she wants to hire people so that they can run those classrooms, then she may be thinking very much in terms of, well, let them govern themselves, teach themselves, educate themselves.
Who knows?
It would be, you know, it'd be fascinating to sit down and have a long, candid conversation with somebody like Greta Kellihan.
If you're listening, Greta, give us a call.
I don't know if I'd call it fascinating.
I don't know if the conversation would be that long because I'm sure she'd say, I'm so triggered right now and I'm outraged and all the other... Well, then we'd have the joy of watching her blow up if she's that...
In any case, I'd love to try to explore the mind of someone like this who's had that experience and then, as I say, who has gone hard left.
Now, there's an important debate going on in Massachusetts, Mr. Kersey.
I just want to reiterate what that story is.
That story has gone completely viral, the one you just talked about.
Anti-white racism is not something that is in the Is in sort of the, these stories are no longer on websites that are so suppressed by the search engines and by social media.
The cat's out of the bag.
It's out of the bag.
It's out of the bag.
And in fact, I was just looking on Twitter and tonight on Tucker Carlson, Pedro Gonzalez, who I believe is one of the main editors over at Chronicles Magazine, which is a fantastic publication.
He just said, quite, quite frankly, he's going to be on Tucker Carlson tonight to talk about anti-white racism.
Well, there's plenty to talk about.
There's a lot to talk about.
I hope it's a double episode.
Well, speaking of anti-white racism, this is anti-historical white racism.
One of the things I've always wondered is, when is the modern progressive left going to come for state flags?
So many state flags of the United States of America, of course, Mississippi changed their flag, Georgia changed their flag, but so many states celebrate the white heritage of their past with whites on the state flag.
Florida's got a great state flag.
Virginia has a wonderful state flag.
Virginia's got one of the best state flags.
And one of the best state mottos, too.
Yes.
Sixth Emperor Tyrannus, thus always to Tyrants.
Yes, I agree.
Well, Massachusetts has decided their flag is going to go.
Racist symbol or historical reminder?
The debate over the Mass State Seal.
Which is on the flag.
Exactly, exactly.
So, this is from the Boston Globe, and for about a week, Mr. Taylor, it was behind a paywall, but it finally got released from that paywall.
I was fascinated to read it.
It's an important story.
I know, I know.
They're going to release it to the world.
Even poor folks have to know about historic places.
Exactly.
So, a special commission unanimously Voted to recommend replacing the state seal and motto of victory for indigenous members and activists in a dramatic turning point in a 40-year fight.
But now some worry an important piece of history will be forgotten.
For more than a century, the Massachusetts state seal has stood sentry at official proceedings, dutifully if a bit dully, serving as the sole adornment on the state flag.
Some might struggle to recall the emblem, which includes a Native American figure standing below a broadsword brandished by an upraised arm, but activists and members of the state's indigenous population have long objected to the image, which one critic called the last state flag of white supremacy.
Not the last Mohican about to go extinct.
No.
Quote, we've always referred to it as a sword of Damocles, said Cheryl Andrews Maltais, the chairwoman of the Wampanoag, sorry if I'm mispronouncing that, any tribe members of this esteemed tribe, the Wampanoag tribe of Gay Head.
These are generational fights, she said.
They've also taken on new urgency in May amid the ongoing national struggle of Over historical monuments and symbols, a special commission voted to recommend replacing the state seal and motto, and by extension, the state flag, a dramatic turning point for a symbol whose roots stretch back to 1629 and the chartering of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
I'm trying to think, when was Williamsburg?
That was... 1607.
That's right.
So the Mayflower came 1625 or 1629?
I know I can't remember.
1620, wasn't it?
Was it 1620?
1620.
So that was shortly after the arrival of the Mayflower.
Yeah.
Quote, it is a long time coming, said Andrews Maltais.
We'd like to see it transformed, but the Volunteer Commission's unanimous vote marks sharp divisions among its 19 members, some of whom worry The recommendation constitutes historical myopia.
Quote, this is the flag that crushed the Confederacy.
And now to say that it's a racist symbol, hey, I'm not buying it, said retired Brigadier General
Leo Conj- Why do they have such silly names?
Kondratiuk, quote, 17,000 Massachusetts soldiers died fighting under that flag, end quote, the Brigadier General said.
Well, they were racists too, of course.
They were obvious bigots against the indigenous.
In the 19th century, every white man was even more racist than today, if that can be imagined.
It can be imagined!
Meanwhile, John Peters Jr., Executive Director of the State's Commission on Indian Affairs, says he quickly regretted his vote.
Quote, who voted in part to honor his late father who first sought
to establish a commission some 40 years ago. When I look at that flag, it's like a true
depiction of what happened to the Native people here. Changing the seal gives the Commonwealth an
opportunity to forget about that history. So basically, Mr. Taylor, what he's saying is
white people must always have their past supremacy thrown in their face to justify their
current oppression and, well, just the outright discrimination and anti-white racism
because if whites were racist in the past.
Okay, so we need to keep the seal to remind white people of just how horribly racist they are.
Yep.
It was designed by illustrator Edmund Garrett in 1898.
The current seal draws on the original seal of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which featured a Native American man naked but for some shrubbery about his groin, saying, quote, come over and help us, end quote.
In Garrett's rendering, the Native American figure is shown clothed and in front of a blue shield.
He too holds a bow in one hand and a downward pointing arrow in the other, a sign of peace.
Or as the Boston Globe says, Well, you know, if you look at the seal, which I am doing now, they are two entirely separate elements of the design.
Exactly.
It does not look like it's about to smite the Indian.
Not at all.
sword above the native man as if ready to strike. Well, you know, if you look at the seal, which I
am doing now, they are two entirely separate elements of the design. Exactly. It does not
look like it's about to smite the Indian, not at all. These are two separate elements,
but you can't have them anywhere in proximity.
Thank you.
Yeah, but the seal includes, like I said, as if ready to strike, an element first introduced during the Revolutionary War, while below him unfurls the state motto in Latin.
I kind of like this one too, Mr. Taylor.
By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.
Yes.
Writing in New England Magazine, Garrett described how the sword depicted once belonged to Miles Standish, a 17th century military commander for the Plymouth colony known for his brutality toward the indigenous population.
Oh, I'm sure he was.
Everybody was, yes, of course.
It's just a constant reminder, said Brian Whedon, chairman of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, that, quote, the sword was not a friend to the indigenous people, end quote.
Well, the sword is never a friend to those who've been conquered.
So, and sadly, as you've stated so many times, what exactly has conquered white people in America?
Now, does this mean, when I read that article, I wasn't entirely sure.
Are they for sure going to change the seal on the flag or not?
Or they just have recommended that?
It's a special commission voted unanimously to recommend.
That's all that's happening right now.
All right.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
But no, I urge any of you to take a look on the internet of the seal and you tell me if the sword looks like it's ready to smite the Indian.
I would say not.
Meanwhile, meanwhile, in Los Angeles, a school called Laurel Span School had set up a cotton field, that's an elementary school, this is back in 2017, that was intended to teach students about the experiences of slaves.
Well, Rashunda Pitts, whose daughter is now 14 years old, at the time she was a student at Laurel Span School.
She's known as SW in a lawsuit.
This says that she experienced emotional distress as the project of the school that their social justice teacher had set up.
I guess now we have geography teachers, we have reading teachers, writing teachers, and social justice teachers!
In elementary school.
So, there she was, learning social justice, but now she's filed a civil rights suit against the Los Angeles Unified School District and the Board of Education.
One day, as Rashunda was dropping off her unnamed daughter on campus, she saw this cotton field, and she called the office.
Assistant Principal Brian Wisniewski explained that the class was reading Frederick Douglass' autobiography, that I'm sure is pretty woke, And that the cotton field was created so students could have a real-life experience of slavery.
The principal, Amy Diaz.
She doesn't sound like someone who was on board the Mayflower.
No, she's not.
She listened to Pitt's request for the cotton field to be taken down in 24 hours.
Take down that cotton field!
But she said that couldn't be done quite so quickly as she would aim for that week or the following week.
Well, Rashunda's daughter said that the social justice teacher required students to pick cotton, although she herself was not forced to do so.
That might have been insensitive, but she had to watch other students complete the assignment while she cared for other crops in the school garden.
As a result, says the lawsuit, SW has suffered extreme emotional distress.
She has uncontrollable anxiety attacks and experiences bouts of depression when she thinks about the cotton picking project.
What a cotton-picking idea.
Now, this was seven years ago, when she was seven years old, and she still got PTSD.
I find this quite delightful.
The project was started by the social justice teacher, race not specified.
I'm sure she was trying to accentuate the evils of the white man, and now the school district is going to be sued.
My motto is, let the revolution devour its own.
Meanwhile, a tale from Charm City.
I just love Baltimore's old nickname.
It's just so increasingly, increasingly appropriate.
A teenage girl was shot dead by a nine-year-old boy.
And according to her family, this was because of a fight over a bottle of Gatorade.
That happens all the time.
Nine-year-old boy shoots teenage girl.
Ny'Kayla Strotter, age 15, was found by her family dead on the porch with gunshot wounds.
Police initially said that Ny'Kayla and her nine-year-old neighbor were playing with a loaded gun and it went off by accident.
They say the boy shot the teen in the head before dropping the gun and fleeing.
Police later discovered that the firearm is registered to a family member of the boy who works as a security guard.
Oh dear.
However, Nikala's relatives are calling on prosecutors to file criminal charges against the child claiming he intentionally killed their daughter because of a dispute over a bottle of Gatorade.
I think we're gonna have to ban Gatorade.
Do you know what flavor it was?
That's unspecified.
Is there a watermelon flavor?
Probably not.
Maybe there is.
In any case, I think they need to ban Gatorade.
Her father, Dante Jones, criticized the young boy's father.
How do you not notice your gun was missing?
There's no excuse knowing there's a child in the house for not keeping your gun hidden.
However, under Maryland law, the child cannot be criminally charged.
He is too young.
So when a nine-year-old shoots a 15-year-old, apparently the law does not know what to do.
Now moving on to the Big Apple.
New Yorkers barely flinched last Thursday as a naked man wearing nothing but dress socks strolled through a Manhattan subway station and out onto the street.
Jaded strap hangers seemed unsurprised at seeing the man, one of our African-American fellow citizens, as he sauntered out of a number six train and onto the City Hall subway station platform at about 9 a.m.
rush hour.
He walked out of the station and marched down the street.
The unidentified man was taken to Bellevue Hospital for examination.
Now, there are photographs of this.
Okay.
And from the photographs, the description gets it not entirely right.
He was wearing a mask.
He was wearing a mask.
So he was okay.
So he was okay.
He was wearing what counts.
Now, his mask was pulled down under his chin, but he was wearing a mask.
Give the man a little credit.
He was not entirely naked.
Okay, more Big Apple.
More Big Apple stories.
A third suspect was arrested in an anti-white crime that left 57-year-old grandmother bloodied after she was attacked on a Queens bus.
This was last month.
And that's not the Queen of England.
No, this is the Queens.
You know, the Bronx used to be called Kings County.
Really?
Yes.
Queens is Queens, and there was Kings was Kings, but I don't know why it was changed to the Bronx.
Jania Williams, age 19, of Queens, was taken into custody.
She is charged with assault and aggravated harassment, and both have hate crime enhancements.
The three assailants approached the victim, Jill Lacroix, a grandmother of five, and beat her over the head with an unknown object while making anti-white statements.
The victim required three staples to heal her wound.
The other two suspects, aged 15 and 16, were not named when they were arrested because of their tender age.
But they also face assault and aggravated harassment charges with hate crime enhancements.
Now this was what I found most interesting.
Ms.
Gramma Lacroix After the attack, told the press that three suspects accused her of being a supporter of former President Donald Trump.
That's right.
Wow.
Well, statistically speaking, that's true.
More whites did vote for Donald Trump than not.
But I guess they were just following their instincts.
But that apparently was not the only motivation.
Because one of the attackers said she hates white people.
The way they talk.
She hates their white skin and the way their skin cracks.
So, there you go.
Sufficient reason to crack open a white woman's head.
I guess that's, uh... Well, her skin's gonna crack when you hit it hard enough.
Meanwhile, back to Monkeypox.
We've talked about this before, Mr. Kersey.
We have.
Yes.
Now, it was only a matter of time.
The World Health Organization says it's holding an open forum to rename Monkeypox.
Who said the decision was made after meeting with the Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO of the UN, which helps identify best practices for renaming new human diseases?
Why Food and Agriculture?
Makes no sense to me.
I mean, why are they involved?
But apparently, the Food and Agriculture Organization is very wise.
When it comes to naming new diseases carefully so as to, and let me quote what they are mandated to do, avoid causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic group and minimize any negative impact on trade, travel, tourism, or animal welfare.
So now we know why monkeypox has got to be changed.
We're worried about animal welfare.
We're worried about all the backlash against monkeys.
Now, what kind of professional groups might be insulted by a disease?
I guess there's going to be no more tennis elbow?
This is the strangest thing.
Cultural or social?
Anyway.
But in a statement filed the UN Health Agency said it has also renamed two families or clades or clades I don't know how you pronounce c-l-a-d-e-s clades of the virus using Roman numerals instead of geographic areas to avoid stigmatization the version of the disease formerly known as the Congo Basin Monkeypox is now Clade 1.
The West African one is going to be called Clade 2.
So that means the monkeys in those areas can certainly breathe easy.
No more persecution.
Oh, the poor dears.
Now, The Who said that anyone who wishes to submit a name, a suggestion, can do so on their website.
I say, why not call it the Gay Orgy Virus?
Wow, that's pretty much what it is.
That's pretty much what it is.
That takes the heat off the monkeys.
As far as I know, they do not.
Puts the heat on the actual culprits and those who are actually spreading this.
Well, that seems like a pretty descriptive.
Now, whose spokesman, Margaret Harris, said on Tuesday, and this is the part of the article that most astonishes me, what people need to know very clearly is the transmission we are seeing is happening between humans and humans.
They should certainly be not attacking any animals.
No.
I was joking about this.
About that we're protecting the animals.
They should not be attacking any animals.
Wow.
Well, maybe they are serious about this.
They're protecting the monkeys.
At least the hoo people are.
On the other hand...
Other articles have talked about the critics of the name Monkeybox.
They say it plays into racist stereotypes about black people.
Now, I don't know why.
I've never, that's new to me.
Yes, also Africa, and it plays into racist stereotypes about LGBTQ people.
Did you know that?
I didn't know that it was a racist stereotype about the LGBT community, which are almost exclusive We're exclusively responsible for spreading this.
Well, but it's a racist stereotype.
Say critics of LGBTQ people, monkeys, is a racial stereotype against them.
And as you know, two weeks ago, New York City Public Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan, I don't think he showed up on the Mayflower either, which was indeed in 1620.
You're absolutely right about that.
I should have had no hesitation.
He sent a letter urging Hugh Director General, Hugh Director General, to act immediately to rename Monkey Box citing, quote, potentially devastating and stigmatizing effects.
With the monkeypox name linked to feelings of stigma and racism, Vassan said, people of color and members of LGBTQ communities may avoid engaging in vital health care services because of it.
They're so terrified by the name, Mr. Kersey, that gay people, people of color, LGBTs and Qs, they're going to stay away from the doctor because of the name monkeypox.
I mean, that's what he says.
And these guys know, right?
That sounds rather fragile to me.
They've got their safe space, I guess.
Even though they'll still monkey box, they'll have a safe space.
Boy, the safe space would be keeping it in their pants for a while.
That would maintain the safe space.
As you said, stay away from the homosexual orgies and not have so many partners.
Yeah, sure.
Well, the whole world is an unsafe space for these people, I guess.
Meanwhile, I saw a headline.
Black men are getting 70% of the monkeypox cases in North Carolina while being only 22% of the population.
So it is racist.
It is racist.
My gosh.
Well, Newt, now do tell, you've got the hot dope on monkeypox.
I found this on a website called Black Doctor.
I think that was the URL.
And it's why are blacks disproportionately being affected by monkeypox?
Ah, these racists.
It's probably one of the reasons why when you look at the CDC data, I believe that almost all STDs are disproportionately impacting the black community.
Gonorrhea, syphilis.
Chlamydia, AIDS.
They certainly are, yeah.
So as Monkeypox continues to spread, a detailed analysis of case records published by the CDC offers new insight to the outbreak, and it disproportionately shows that it's affecting men who have sex with men, especially those who are black and Hispanic.
So like you said, I guess Monkeypox has a racist proclivity to only impact black and Hispanic homosexuals.
It's important that communities of color and those already infected have access to testing, treatment, and vaccines, Dr. Jonathan Colasanti said, an infectious disease specialist.
Quote, a few weeks ago when this was circulating in Europe, this wasn't even being talked about in our communities of color, and I think there was an initial perception that this was in largely white communities and white gay and MSM.
I've never heard this phrase before.
Men having sex with men communities.
Yes, MSM.
Says Colasanti, who is also a medical doctor at Grady Memorials Hospital Ponce de Leon Center, a comprehensive program dedicated to serving those living with or impacted by HIV in Atlanta.
In Georgia, monkeypox is infecting an overwhelming number of, just like in North Carolina, Black people.
Confirmed cases in Georgia has climbed to 749, including eight women, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.
All the more reason to remain monogamous in these trying monkey pox infested times.
Of the 74% of the cases reported in the data, the racial breakdown shows 82% were black people, 14% were white, and under 1% were Asian.
Multiracial and others accounted for a total of 3%.
That total also includes 6% Hispanic.
That's for Georgia.
That is very, very disproportionate.
That's about what it was in North Carolina.
70% of the monkeypox cases in North Carolina were black.
Yeah, 94% were men who reported recent sexual or close intimate contact with another man.
What's the difference?
We won't go into the mechanics.
Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
Prior question erased from memory.
More than half of the cases were among black and Hispanic people, a group that represents about a third of the general U.S.
population.
The share of cases among black people have grown in recent weeks.
Why the disparity?
We get a quote from Dr. Felipe Lobelo, an epidemiologist at Kaiser Permanente of Georgia,
who said this, Blacks have a long withstanding racial and ethnic disparities and access to
care for everything from HIV to COVID-19. He says the racial breakdown is unacceptable,
but unfortunately not surprising.
I don't know why it would be unacceptable or, you know, not surprising.
It's impacting, as the CDC says, primarily homosexual individuals who are promiscuous and who are partaking in what you said, gay orgies.
In fact, On Fox News, they were interviewing Ned Ryan.
I believe he's with the Claremont Institute of American Greatness.
And he brought this up, and he was attacked by the Fox News host.
By the Fox host?
It was a female who wears glasses, and she said, that sounds somewhat bigoted.
And then there was a homosexual conservative commenter who was offended by this statement of fact, and he goes, listen, no one should be going to orgies, let alone whether they're heterosexual, whether they're homosexual.
The point is, this is where diseases are spread, and we have to be honest about who is being impacted by monkeypox.
And he didn't even point out what the CDC has found, and that it is, I mean, in Georgia, 82% blacks.
Well, you know, I think I'll hazard a guess, a purely speculative, no doubt ignorant and wrong guess, as to why blacks are more likely to get it.
I suspect blacks have been the last to change their behavior, despite the warnings that have been out, not only in the media at large, but in places like Radio Renaissance.
Avoid gay orgies.
So, all of our Black listeners, that means you too!
So there you go.
Now, this is another one of the Guess the Race questions, in a mild sort of way.
Three young Black men, Donald Huey, age 25, Jalen Osley, age 23, and Devonta Viviter, age 27, ...were hurled into the air when a sedan smashed into them at high speed in the early hours of Sunday.
Have you seen this video, by the way?
The video is quite astonishing.
People estimate that they might have been thrown as much as 25 or 30 feet into the air.
Kabim Bam!
Wow!
The hit-and-run happened at 5 a.m.
Several people appeared to have gotten into an argument outside this black gay bar.
Was it over Gatorade?
Not specified.
Not specified.
Could have been.
And the argument spilled out into the street.
Investigators found the car that was used about four blocks away, but not the driver.
Police say there were a lot of people out there, a lot of people that were inside the bar before this happened, and we definitely believe that there are folks who actually want to give us information to name the suspect.
Well, that was several days ago, and I looked up, and the suspect has still not been named or caught.
There was some talk of a man saying, as part of this argument, that he was going to go to his car and get a gun.
So, but the question remains, this is America after all, the question remains, was it a hate crime?
Was it a MAGA hat wearing white supremacist who drove by this homosexual gay bar?
Are you saying we finally found Jussie Smollett's actual attacker?
It could have been.
He was behind the wheel.
Or was it one of the people in the bar who had a bone to pick with the folks who were outside?
Well, I suspect we will know eventually, but at this point we don't know, so that's all part of the guess the race game.
Moving on to Fargo, North Dakota.
This is a surprising story to me.
You are probably aware of this story too, but ever since April 12th, A decision of the School Board of Fargo was taken to recite the Pledge of Allegiance before every meeting.
However, Board Vice President Seth Holden then asked that the issue be raised again at the August 9th meeting after hearing comments from board members and the public.
And Seth Holden says the Pledge of Allegiance doesn't align with the school district's diversity, equity, and inclusion values.
The pledge just doesn't go along with diversity, equity, and inclusion.
And so on a 72 vote, just last Tuesday, the school board decided not to recite the pledge before their meetings.
Now, because you are quick on the draw with the internet, would you mind figuring out the racial mix of Fargo, North Dakota?
In any case, the pledge will no longer be decided at school board meetings because it apparently conflicts with their desires for intensive diversity, inclusion, and equity.
Now, this is North Dakota.
This isn't Detroit or Brooklyn.
And at the same time, this does not appear to be opposition to the Potomac regime.
I have all sorts of reasons for not being happy about the pledge.
As a good confederate, this one nation indivisible doesn't sit well with me, and nor would it have with my ancestors.
But it is quite incredible.
And I would have thought that liberty and justice for all, what they usually say is, well, there is no liberty and justice.
It's only for white, cis, hetero, Males.
But I would think that liberty and justice for all, isn't that supposed to be a worthy goal for the DEI folks?
So how white is Fargo?
It looks like Fargo is 83% white, 7% black, 4% Asian.
percent white, 7 percent black, 4 percent Asian.
Well, you see, they've got a long way to go to get their diversity, equity and inclusion
So I guess if not reciting the pledge is going to up the population of BIPOCs, then I guess they better try it.
83% white alone.
That's according to the census.gov as of 2022.
Yeah.
Well, white alone.
Well, you know, there are people all around the world who apparently would prefer to be, if not white alone, at least a little more white.
This is a story from CNN.
It's part of their White Lies series.
I've not seen the White Lies series.
I think I'm going to stay away from it.
No, no, no.
You'll find this very edifying.
This started with this article from CNN about skin lightening cream.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
It starts with this admonition or this boast.
This story is part of White Lies, a series by CNN's As Equals.
I don't know what that means.
A series by CNN's As Equals.
I guess that's the name of the series.
Investigating skin whitening practices worldwide to expose the underlying drivers of colorism, the industry that profits from it, and the cost to individuals and communities.
I guess it's about $12 a bottle.
The cost.
Now, in 2018, the Rwandan government began enforcing a nationwide ban on cosmetics and hair dyes, making it illegal to produce or sell most skin lightening cosmetics.
Violators are subject to up to two years in prison and a maximum fine of 5 million Rwandan francs.
That's about $5,000.
$5,000 goes a long way in Rwanda.
And many dealers have reportedly been arrested.
Rwanda's President Paul Kagame, who appears to be president for life these days, publicly lent support to the initiative back in 2018, saying on Twitter that skin bleaching was quite unhealthy, among other things, and includes the use of prohibited chemicals.
Now, Rwandan law enforcement agents have been relying on people informing on their neighbors in order to crack down on the illegal trade.
That really makes for good relations with your neighbors.
They're supposed to turn you in if you use this stuff.
But some products are legal.
91 locally made cosmetic products manufactured by 19 companies have acquired the mark of approval that serves to reassure consumers that safety and quality standards have been met.
They're all locally made.
None of this imported foreign muck.
Now, an expert says a ban will have some success, but will drive up prices in the underground marketplace and could lead to more locally produced counterfeit products, as well as other illegal sources.
And as it turns out, Rwanda is not the first country to ban this stuff.
South Africa was the first.
In 1990, they banned these skin lightening creams.
They were the first to do it.
They claim that they contain harmful ingredients.
And apparently some of the ones for sale in Africa do have mercury and other strange things.
Yes.
So in 1990, South Africa was the first.
Kenya then imposed a ban in 2001.
Ivory Coast in 2015.
Uganda 2016.
Ghana 2017.
But in most of these countries, skin lightening products continue to be sold openly.
Now Rwanda still has some way to go to eliminate the practice of skin whitening altogether because there is still a generation, quote, stuck on the idea that fair skin is better than dark.
That is what's got to be rooted out.
The challenge is not just limiting supply but also changing harmful cultural norms.
You probably know, Skin Lightening Creams are a big business in India.
Huge business.
Huge business.
The lighter the better.
And, of course, in the United States, you've got a big business of doing the same thing.
Well, where will it end?
Hard to say.
Well, of course, strangely, there's the desire of black women in the United States to get hair from India.
Is that so?
Yeah, that's where a lot of the weaves come from.
Well, I think that's probably their desire.
It's not necessarily because it's Indian hair, because it's probably fairly inexpensive.
Correct.
Well, yeah, but it's straight.
It comes from India.
It's straight.
Well, I guess you're not every night curling your hair, are you?
No, I'm not.
No, I guess not.
No, I'm not.
Now, another British story here.
This is quite interesting to me, and I wish I could find out more about this story, but I nosed around this afternoon and came up mostly dry, but this is the extent I was wet.
A woman raped by a brutish and violent thug.
While pregnant, Ronda suffered a miscarriage soon after.
The woman was repeatedly raped by Farhan Abbas during a nine-month-long period of abuse.
Geez.
So this sounds like some kind of forced detention, although the stories don't go into this.
Like so many stories, you can find five different sites that all basically have the same facts.
Yeah, copy and paste.
Copy and paste.
He has since been found guilty of five counts of rape and two counts of controlling and coercive behavior.
The jury took just one hour to make a decision guilty.
Apparently, and I wish I knew the details about this too, Farhan Abbas tried to use his religious background to justify what he did.
Now, I would imagine he claimed that keeping her prisoner and raping and beating her were exactly what Mohammed would have done.
Was that in the Qur'an?
In the life of Mohammed, that sort of thing, he did left, right and center.
Sex maniac, you know, you can beat your wife, or I suppose whatever passes for your wife, with a stick so long as it's not bigger than your thumb.
That's from the Hadith, or I can't remember exactly where, but that's the standard.
You can beat her so long as the stick is not bigger than your thumb.
So that's the origin of the term rule of thumb.
It's actually, it's actually Saracen in origin.
Well, is that so?
That's what you're saying.
Well, I had never thought of that.
I suspect not, but I suspect not.
But that's nice free association on your part.
Well, defense lawyer David Ellis, he got a court-appointed defense, described young Abbas as a creation of his upbringing and his own heritage.
And now this I find quite fascinating.
He had, at the time of sentencing, he had five character references from people who supported him, including one from his To use the defense's language, his new young wife.
No!
Yes.
Apparently, his new young wife, as well as four other family members, said that what he was doing was just A-OK.
It's all good, fine Muslim stuff.
Raped them, beat them, you know, nine months.
However, sentencing judge Simon Medland was having none of this.
And he gave Abbas an 18-year sentence.
Now, what I would really like to know about this.
Is this guy an immigrant?
Or was he born in Britain?
I mean, obviously, this is a guy who does not fit into a British society, nor does his whole family.
Where'd they come from?
What are they doing in Britain?
That, to me, is the big question.
They're doing what you can't be doing.
They're actually in Britain.
They're allowed in the United Kingdom.
Yes, they're welcome.
They're adding to the cultural enrichment.
Wow, fine folk they are.
Meanwhile, Someone sent me a photograph of a London sidewalk sign.
It was on a bus shelter.
Okay.
About the size, no, I think it was a standalone sign, about the size of a bus shelter.
In great big black letters, it says, hey, straight white men, pass the power.
Pass the power.
Pass the power to those with monkey pox.
Pass the power.
Well, you know, how about, hey, technologically advanced, better organized, law-abiding people, pass the power.
I don't know.
Why are people so complacent?
White men just walk by a sign like that and I say, okay, I guess that's just the way it is.
Who do I pass the power to?
I need to abdicate this power that I have and acquiesce it.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it sounds like the RAF is making sure that white men pass the power.
Speaking of, yeah, not just passing the power, capitulate the power.
So this was a strange headline that I saw on Twitter.
Royal Air Force pauses job offers for white men to meet impossible diversity targets.
The alleged move has prompted the head of recruitment for the Royal Air Force herself, a senior female officer, to resign in recent days in protest.
So the RAF has effectively paused making job offers to white male recruits in favor of women and ethnic minorities to meet impossible diversity targets, defense sources have claimed.
The alleged move has prompted the head of recruitment for the Royal Air Force, herself, like I said, a senior female officer, to resign in recent days in protest and be concerned that any such restrictions on hiring, however temporary and limited, could undermine the fighting strength of the service.
And that's the only reason to oppose them.
The defense sources accused Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, the head of the RAF, of appearing willing to compromise UK security at a time of growing threats from Russia and China in pursuit of albeit important goals such as improving diversity and inclusion.
One of the defense sources noted how General Sir Patrick Sanders, the head of the army, has likened today's security challenges to those in the build-up to the Second World War, warning that the UK is facing its 1937 moment.
But they're not going to offer jobs to white men in the Royal Air Force.
That's right.
I mean, again, the recruitment claims prompted a response from Rishi Sunak, one of the two contenders vying to be the UK's next prime minister.
A spokesperson for the Sunak leadership campaign said, quote, the only thing that should matter in recruitment is the content of your character, not your sex or the color of your skin, that the Ministry of Defense would allow Britain's security to potentially be put at risk.
You know, it's so interesting.
for so-called diversity is not only disgraceful, it is dangerous.
You know, it's so interesting.
They howl about potential security problems.
Nothing, apparently, about just the outright anti-whiteness of it all.
Just the anti-Britishness of it all?
Yes, gosh.
Whiteness is synonymous with Britain.
You know, whenever you think of the RAF, you think of the Battle of Britain.
I was going to say, what do you think if there are any descendants alive who actually fought in World War II, who actually fought in the Battle of Britain?
Well, I'm sure there are descendants.
I'm sorry, if there's anyone who actually, if anyone's still alive, I think I read a poll one time where a shocking number of British soldiers, if they knew it was going to happen, World War II soldiers, they would not have taken up arms to defend... But remember, they're not speaking German.
They're not speaking German, so everything is okay.
Everything is okay.
They can't be hired for the RAF, but they're not speaking German.
They're not speaking German.
Now, moving on to the persistent problem of cold fries, Mr. Kersey.
It's a real problem.
Antoine Sims, age 24, wearing an ankle monitor, and with an outstanding arrest for failing to appear in court for a 2018 homicide in which he's accused of setting a car on fire with a woman's body inside it, he ordered a meal at a McDonald's, but then he claimed his fries were cold.
And he cussed out the McDonald's manager and called the police after McDonald's refused to remake his food.
Young Sims, ankle monitor and all, claimed the manager became confrontational and told him he could run his store however he liked and offered a refund.
Sims said he refused the refund because it takes three to seven business days to process back onto his Cash App credit card.
He apparently knows a lot about this.
Yeah.
He gets a lot of refunds, I guess.
You make enough of a stink, you get refunds all the time.
He can't wait the three to seven business days.
He's got to have it now.
Well, after police came, He became visibly nervous when officers asked for his ID.
He said he didn't have one.
Police asked dispatch to run Simms' name on a national database.
Whereupon, Simms took off running, leading police on a wild chase.
Apparently, the ankle monitor didn't seem... All over cold french fries.
Cold french fries.
I guess he began to... Well, in any case, they eventually found him in a nearby residential parking lot after a resident called police to say a man was trying to break into a third-floor apartment.
So this guy can climb, not just run.
Police then tase him and there is a body cam image of this.
He's just screaming, screaming, screaming.
He gets arrested.
But my thoughts are this.
It shows a touching faith in the police.
Here's this guy with an ankle monitor and outstanding arrest, and he calls the police.
Outstanding warrant on a murder charge.
He calls the police.
He has trust that they can heat up his cold fries.
Or at least get his cold fries taken care of for him.
What a nice guy.
What a pro-police action.
But on the subject of cold fries, we talked two weeks ago, I think it was.
You and I talked about a Brooklyn McDonald's shooting.
Yeah.
It was another one of those guess the race games.
Yeah.
And this is a 20-year-old man.
He got arrested for shooting a McDonald's worker, leaving him in critical condition after an argument over cold fries.
And at that time, the unidentified worker was clinging to his life.
The incident took place after the shooter's mother started hassling the fast food worker because her fries were What's with this epidemic of cold fries at McDonald's across the country?
It's a big problem.
Gosh.
But at the same time she was FaceTiming her son, and her son, I mean you have to admire his filial piety, he came dashing over to make sure that his mama, his mama got her hot fries!
Well, he got into a shouting match with an employee.
The dispute was taken outside, where this young lad pulled out a gun and shot the 23-year-old in the head.
Now, the McDonald's worker has now died after costing the taxpayer many thousands of dollars on life support, but as his mom explained to the police, her son told her he got to do what he got to do.
And shooting this guy because mama's fries were cold was what he got to do.
As it turns out, the suspect's girlfriend, Camelia Dunlap, has also been charged with weapons possession because she handed the assailant the gun.
So, the young man, his name is Morgan, was also charged with an earlier murder after confessing during questioning about the McDonald's shooting.
So, they have rounded up for yet another killing.
I guess a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
When it comes to cold fries, yes, and defending his mother's integrity, of course.
And as we suspected, it turns out it was an all-black cast.
So, the guy in the McDonald's who decided to take the problem outside, he was black.
Now, The thing that struck me about this was how absolutely similar these two were to each other.
They're photographs of them.
This is the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail is very good on this stuff.
I don't know where they get all these photographs.
I guess they go to these social media sites.
These guys could have been twins.
Absolute twins.
The same build, same dreadlocks, same gold necklace, same look, and even photos of the victim showing them making very suspicious hand signs.
So, I mean, I really... Doppelgangers, huh?
I kept looking from one set of pictures back to the other set.
You could have mixed them all up, shuffled them together, and I wouldn't have known the difference.
Really remarkable.
Now, I think, insofar as one of them is dead, and one of them is under arrest, and is now probably soon to be an accused murderer, my guess is they were either rappers or aspiring rappers.
Because, as we have discovered, we have many stories about rappers going to glory.
Here's one.
Rapper Jay Dayungin died after being shot outside his Louisiana home Wednesday evening, just a month after he was released from prison for gun charges, he was shot along with a male relative who some reports say is the rapper's father.
Now, Jay DeYoungen had actually signed on to Atlantic Records in 2017 and worked with some of the big names in rapping, but he is no more.
He has gone to his reward.
At the same time, yet another story.
Yet another story, Mr. Kersey.
Four men have been indicted in the broad daylight slaying of Los Angeles-based drill rapper Avanti Frauner inside a Bronx pharmacy.
Frauner was shot dead after he and a friend were chased into Amazing Pharmacy on Tremont Avenue by Forrest Santa, trying to rob him of gold chains and other possessions.
So they chase him in there.
He had just bought eyedrops, apparently.
He had dry eyes.
So they robbed Frauner and his pal of their jewelry and cell phones, beat Frauner to the ground.
As they try to take his watch, they force him into the pharmacy at gunpoint and shoot him many times.
Well, I dropped some notorious, Mr. Taylor, you might not be aware, but for those in the drug paraphernalia scene, those are purchased for after smoking the reefer, the cannabis, the marijuana.
Is that so?
Is that because you get dry eyes from smoking it or you lace your reefer up?
You get red eyes.
I see, I see.
Is that so?
Well, gosh, you are better informed than I, as almost always.
No, no, no, no, no.
Please, please.
Do you speak from experience?
I have always passed on grass.
You know what?
There's no hope in dope.
This is a drug-free show.
You're right about that.
We don't even drink coffee on this show.
But you know, I looked up the most dangerous jobs in America.
Okay.
Because being a rapper sounds like just about the most dangerous.
Aspiring rapper, yeah.
A rapper, you know, a lot of the rappers themselves, they get a professional rapper, wannabe rapper, aspiring rapper, I don't know, fish rap rapper, it's dangerous.
Now, the most dangerous job is lumberjacks.
They die on the job at 21 times the U.S.
average for on-the-job deaths.
Most dangerous.
Next are pilots.
After that, roofers.
After that, construction.
After that, crossing guards.
I guess being crossing guard is pretty dangerous, you know?
You're just flagging down, telling guys, yeah.
Anyway, so this listed 25, and I couldn't find a rapper anywhere in there.
I think they need to do some more research.
I would love to know that answer.
Yes, yes, per capita death rate of rappers in the United States.
Well, we've got to wrap it up, folks.
But any case, as always, a great pleasure to spend this time with you, and we look forward to doing the same with you a week from today.
