Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my incandescent, irreplaceable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
Today is September 21st, 2022, and we will begin with some comments from listeners.
One gentleman writes in to say, universities, colleges, and major corporations are hiring six experts because meritocracy has been officially exposed as
racist. We establish standards only to keep black and brown people out,
you know, otherwise we just wouldn't need standards, you know. But the NBA, NFL,
NHL, and MLB rely on meritocracy to choose their athletes.
Isn't this inherently racist, misogynist, and transphobic?
I'd say it's ableist, too.
Since all humans are equal, why can't women and senior citizens play in the NBA?
Why do university sports teams insist on such hate-filled institutions as tryouts?
It's time to crack down on the lucrative.
Hate-driven ranks of collegiate and professional sports franchises.
Open them to all players in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Taking a knee is only so much virtual signaling that changes nothing.
Let the major leagues and universities lead by example by including everyone, especially our millions of trans athletes.
Justice begins in the locker room.
Well, I should say... Wait, wait.
Just millions?
Doesn't he mean tens of millions?
Oh, he probably means tens of millions.
He's desperately undercounting.
I'm sure he is.
I'm sure he is.
And there'll just be more appearing every day.
Now, here's another fellow who says, I recently watched a new documentary series on YouTube exploring Haiti.
It's on a channel called Indigo Traveler.
There are remarkable similarities between blacks who have been an independent nation for about 200 years with a constitution nearly identical to ours in the U.S.
and the blacks we see in BLM-type demonstrations.
I see behavior and conditions in the most violent, dirty, and poverty-stricken place on earth eerily similar to places such as East Oakland, for which there are also great tour guide videos online.
Now, I did look up this indigo traveler, and it is quite an intrepid traveler, this indigo guy.
Okay.
He really gets into the heart of Haiti, and some people might want to go, but I think it depends on your stomach for, well, curiosities and a certain amount of danger.
Have you ever been to Haiti?
I would love to go.
Really?
Flying to Port-au-Prince?
Yes, I would love to go.
It would be a memorable experience, I'm sure.
Oh, there's that great fortress that I believe Dessalines made on the top of a mountain.
Hundreds, thousands of people died as it was being built.
And just to see Africans in action in the Western Hemisphere when they're really on their own.
The oldest black republic.
Oldest?
Yes.
And let's see.
Oh, someone writes, I'm sure you've noticed the big story out of Martha's Vineyard and the right-wing media are claiming it's a big win for our side.
But throughout the entire circus, I've yet to see anyone in the media state the obvious.
Whether they're in Florida and Texas, or bused to Martha's Vineyard or D.C., they're still here.
Yeah.
Yes.
And we pay for these stunts.
Just how is it that giving illegals free rides to beautiful places is supposed to discourage them from coming?
Conservatives are celebrating this expensive political stunt.
Their explanation is that anything that exposes the lefties, particularly the rich elitist lefties who no doubt live on Martha's vineyards, exposing them as a hypocrite is a win.
We already know they're hypocrites, says he.
And of course, this is all true.
And these are excellent points he made.
Presumably, the hope is that by calling attention to liberal hypocrisy, it will persuade some of those liberal hypocrites quietly to change their side, change to the other side on border control.
I wonder if it'll have that effect at all.
Maybe...
Two, three, four, five percent.
Maybe actually one, two, three, four.
I was going to say, remove the percent.
Yeah, I was about to say, what am I talking about?
No.
No.
I mean, it does give you a certain satisfaction.
We'll talk about this later.
New York City is beginning to kind of have a bit of a hangover when it comes to these illegal aliens showing up.
But still, this guy's point's absolutely correct.
They're still here.
They're still just as illegal.
And I bet there are people out there in all the world that wants to come and they see these beautiful shots of the beach at Martha's Vineyard and say, wow, all the more reason to come.
I get a free airplane ride?
Gee!
And let's see, we have, and this time we have a correction.
During your September 14th podcast, you referred to YouTube's dislike count no longer being visible.
That had to do with the Little Mermaid trailer.
We'll talk about Little Mermaid in a moment here.
The dislike count, says our listener, is still invisible via a downloadable Chrome extension.
And as of this message, the live-action Little Mermaid trailer has more than 2 million dislikes.
He goes on to say some things that are a little bit complicated in my view.
He says about Amazon's Rings of Power, of which you spoke, particularly you, Mr. Kersey, and you said that the commenting was blocked.
He says, this is true, but with an important caveat.
Within the first three days of a release of any Amazon episode, including Rings of Power, If a review has a rating below a certain threshold, the review itself is reviewed to whether it was written by a troll.
So that's another little built-in way.
Built-in mechanism.
Built-in mechanism to make sure the truth does not float to the surface.
Can't have that.
Now he goes on to say, YouTube channels The Quartering, Geeks and Gamers, Midnight's Edge, Critical Drinker, And the David Cullen Show are all excellent resources in this regard.
Well, I'll take his word for it.
Yeah, I've never heard of any of those.
I've not heard of any of them, but this guy sounds knowledgeable, and so we will assume that he is right.
Then, let's see.
Here is a question, and it's a question that I think our listener can actually answer for himself better than you and I can, Mr. Kersey.
He writes in to say, hello, a new Gen Z listener here.
I'm now a student pilot and in a training program for one of the major airlines in America.
I noticed when I started the program, it was all white men and women.
Now I would say the majority of new recruits are melanin enhanced.
Down the road when I'm flying a Boeing 737 and my co-pilot is Big Mama, will I dare as a privileged white male correct her mistakes?
Imagine being on that plane and hearing Big Mama's voice come over the PA system.
Sit back, be comfortable, put your trays in the upright lock position because Big Mama's flying the 747 jumbo.
Well, that's a good question.
Will a privileged white male, I mean, will he have his head bitten off?
Will I be fired, says he?
We are already in a struggling industry, and this won't help.
I would love to hear your guys' comments on the subject.
Well, our comments are exactly as you could understand, and this sounds like the sort of fellow who should write a wonderful first-person account for publication at American Renaissance.
And if you are listening, Our brand new Gen Z listener, please consider this and you can get in touch with me at www.amaran.com, contact us page, and we can discuss an article that you might write about your marvelous adventures in diversity land in the skies above us all.
Mr. Taylor, we'd be remiss if we didn't also encourage other listeners early in the program Before we commence with today's podcast and news, to also write in to us, if you have questions, corrections, if you have story ideas, story tips, if you have topics you want us to talk about, all you have to do, one simple little email.
BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com, once again, all one word, BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com, or you can get in touch with Amarin.com.
amren.com at the contact us page.
Now we have one final comment.
And that has to do with the little mermaid.
As I say, we talked about the live-action version in which we have a black mermaid.
Somebody joked rather unkindly is the first half of the movie about her learning how to swim.
Apparently, it is not.
But someone has... Is that a stereotype?
That black mermaids can't swim?
Well, there can't be a stereotype because I've never been a black mermaid before.
But in any case, someone has re-rendered the trailer to make the Black Mermaid white.
And it's a very nicely done re-rendering, as a matter of fact.
I took a look at that, and the user who uploaded the clip to Twitter, he is at Vandal IBM.
He wrote, referring to the video's original creator, He says he fixed the Little Mermaid and turned the woke actor into a ginger-haired white girl.
He says he can fix the entire movie when it comes out in 24 hours.
Well, Twitter, of course, suspended his account.
Dear me, we can't have that sort of thing.
Now, in China, apparently they are doing equally suspendable things.
Will they be punished in the same way?
Nope, they're just going to keep laughing and probably not allow The Little Mermaid to be released.
If you remember a few years ago, the Star Wars episode 7 came out and on the poster for the movie in America, the black actor was on it.
In China, The black actor was excised.
Oh, I think he was just a tiny little face in the corner.
Maybe he was a tiny little face in the corner.
I thought he was actually taken out.
Yeah, I think he was actually removed.
Well, this is from the Gateway Pundit, an enjoyable site to visit.
I encourage all of our listeners to give it a visit on a daily basis, maybe a weekly basis.
But furious Chinese fans whitewashed the Little Mermaid, transformed Black Ariel to a white character.
There's one major sign the woke are losing the culture war.
The cast's decision for the lead role in the upcoming live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid has made Chinese Disney fans absolutely furious.
The new teaser for The Little Mermaid has garnered a lot of negative feedback.
Not even out yet, but the trailer made news by earning over 1.5 million YouTube dislikes.
One upset fan was able to find a way to bring the movie more in line with the classics.
An upset Chinese Disney fan photoshopped the black Ariel from the new Little Mermaid into a white one.
It was posted on a Chinese app called the Little Red Book, also known as, I'm not even going to try and pronounce this in Chinese, Xing Hong Xu, AI-generated translation.
Restore my impression of Ariel.
The main reason is that image of the animated version is too deep in people's hearts.
And of course, I'm referring to the early 1990s.
Classic, the cartoon version of The Little Mermaid, where Ariel is a 16-year-old beautiful Caucasian redhead.
Well, mermaid.
And she turns into a human.
And she's supposed to be 16 years old.
I didn't remember that.
That's her age?
She's young.
Oh, that's right.
She turns 16 and then she's allowed to go up to the surface.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Well, you having daughters, you have to know that.
You were You had to endure watching some of those Disney classics.
I'd forgotten that detail.
When you're 16, you get to go to the surface and look around.
I think she actually goes to the surface to find Trident, though.
I wonder if Trident is black in this.
I have not actually seen the trail all the way through, so I wonder if they... I watched the trail all the way through.
There's not very much there.
It's just her talking and apparently breathing underwater and doing all sorts of remarkable tricks.
But...
The original, of course, it's by Hans Christian Andersen, and he describes her as having eyes as blue as the deepest sea.
Now, of course, eyes as blue as the deepest sea could, of course, be photoshopped onto our Negress Mermaid, but I doubt they even bothered to try that.
Now, moving on to other stories, New York appears to be getting a bit of an illegal alien hangover.
New York City is, quote, reassessing, unquote, its long-standing procedures that stem from a law requiring the city to shelter undomiciled people, following an influx of more than 11,000 asylum seekers who've been bused from Texas.
That is what the mayor's chief counsel said on Thursday.
It is important to reconsider the practices that the city developed that flow from the right to shelter.
Did you know I suppose you walk into New York City and you don't got a place to stay, you have a right to a place to stay.
Apparently so.
Next time you're there and need a hotel room, yeah.
They go to say, we expect thousands more to arrive every week going forward.
The city's system is nearing its breaking point.
The comments followed the failure of the city's shelter system to offer beds to 60 men who arrived Monday at the main intake shelter on East 30th Street.
But, she says, we are not reassessing the right to shelter.
We are reassessing the practices around the right to shelter.
So, I suppose they're going to somehow expand that right, at least 11,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York City since May.
Many of them bused in from Texas, although the city has no official way of tracking exactly how many come and by what means.
The city says they are aware that some have been arriving on their own in commercial buses.
Really?
Yes, they've heard the word.
Word spread fast.
Right to shelter.
Is the Biden admin still giving out free cell phones to illegals?
Wasn't that a story a few years ago?
Oh, yes, and Obama was giving cell phones out to poor black people.
That's right.
I forget.
Obama phones, Biden phones.
Yes.
And let's see.
No, I guess now, since they're taking commercial buses to get there on their own, amnesty along with right to shelter are the two phrases that a new person in the United States needs to know in New York City.
That's all they need to know.
And Mayor Adams says, what is taking place in Texas right now with Governor Greg Abbott is despicable.
What he's doing is despicable.
What Joe Biden doing, of course, is wonderful.
Oh, exactly.
Yes, what he's doing.
As long as he doesn't come to New York, we're fine with it.
That's right.
The rest of the city, the rest of the country, you're more than welcome to house these individuals.
That's right.
But if illegal immigrants end up here, oh, that's just despicable!
He goes on to say it is anti everything we are as Americans.
Well, gosh, just move New York City right down to the border and you can handle just as many of them as you possibly can.
Now, this is a bit of a strange story about the Air Force.
There is a division of the US Pacific Air Force.
This is the branch that would fight China if, as Joe Biden says, the Chinese lift a finger to invade Taiwan and we go and stop them.
In any case, this division of the Air Force has ordered senior leaders and commanders to stop using gender pronouns in written evaluations.
And they say that a shift to more neutral language We'll help improve the Air Force's lethality.
Really?
Yes, that means it'll help them kill the enemy.
That's what they're supposed to do, right?
That's what they're supposed to do, and the right pronouns will do the trick.
That's some magical thinking.
Ah, well, listen to this.
In accordance with diverse Air Force policy, we must embrace, promote, and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion.
Unleash the potential.
It's that coiled spring, that mighty spring, just ready to just burst forth the potential, the potential of it all.
Because there's that invisible white glass Well, I've got to smash it!
Exactly.
It's got to be smashed.
So, this is what they're busy doing on the Air Force Base in Guam as they prepare to do Battle of the Chinese.
It says, do not use pronouns, age, race, etc.
when writing performance reviews or other materials such as recommendations for awards.
And the reason for this?
Competition against near-peer adversaries requires a united focus.
China is apparently a near-peer adversary.
I wonder if we have any peer adversaries.
In any case, it's a near-peer adversary.
In other words, these cannot be squashed like bugs, these Chinese.
They are near-peer adversaries.
Welcoming and employing varied perspectives from a foundation of mutual respect will improve our interoperability, efficiency, creativity, and Lethality.
Lethality.
That word, I think, doesn't belong with everything else here because that's an antonym of what this is so silly.
Interoperability, efficiency, you know, kill them efficiently, kill them creatively, kill them interoperability, I don't know.
In any case, got to kill them, got to kill them.
You know, a black mermaid has more Validity than the story you're reading right now, Mr. Taylor.
Well, insofar as all mermaids are imaginary, I suppose you're right.
This stuff, alas, is not imagined.
In any case, the ban on pronouns, age, and race, and other written descriptors is intended to eliminate any information that could identify the nominee's name, gender, age, or race so that all members have a fair and equal chance at winning.
So, you can't talk about he or she did something.
You can't talk about the best man or the best woman or the youngest of the oldest.
You can't say Sergeant Murray.
The authorized examples say this sergeant without identifying the name or the sex or this NCO or this member.
In other words, if you're writing up somebody for a description, you can't even describe the age, anything that would give the person's identity away, because that might get in the way of interoperability, creativity, efficiency, and lethality.
What I want to know is, when will the U.S.
ship millions of pronouns to Ukraine?
I think they could do with a whole lot of them.
When they run out of ammo, you know, just load them into those howitzers and blast them into the Russians' ranks.
So confusion within the ranks.
But yes, I guess the idea is they're not going to use anything that's going to give away sex, age, race, any of that, so that people will be treated with absolute, absolute objectivity.
Of course, what that means is if they're going on merit alone, they're not going to get the number of desired unrepresented minorities in the places they want them.
But this is the kind of stuff that our folks are worried about instead of worrying about how to include their lethality.
Now, and I would say surely with a better grasp of pronouns, don't you think we'd have whipped the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Isn't that what did us in?
We just didn't understand pronouns well enough.
I don't understand pronouns.
I think that this is, we live in such a, such a strange era.
We're going to have a couple stories here that I think if you, I think that if we had encountered some of the stories that we're about to talk about, even a couple of years ago, we'd be like, wait a second, come on, you made these words up.
And that's the way I feel whenever I hear this pronoun stuff, because it doesn't seem real.
I have to promise myself, and I always break this promise, never to be amazed.
I'm constantly amazed.
Year after year, I am continually amazed, and amazed once again by the Netherlands.
Next year, the Dutch will set up a fund worth 200 million pounds, I'm sorry, 200 million euros, And that is going to help them apologize for the role that the Netherlands played in the slave trade.
Did you know that?
The Country's Fund marks the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the Netherlands.
And they were actually involved in slave trade, but they joined the abolition movement along with the British pretty early on.
And this decision to splash out 200 million euros comes despite Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte earlier Rejecting calls for a national apology, he says he changed his stance during a recent trip to the former Dutch colony of Suriname.
That was what was known as Dutch Guiana.
It's on the shoulder of South America.
It's a small place, but I guess he saw things that opened his eyes.
He says during a visit, he said his outlook on slavery had really changed.
He says the topic we really need to talk about, even though no one lives from the time of slavery anymore.
And he also said that his change of position, and this to me is really the one most silliest, indefensible thing, indefensible things possible.
He says it comes partly because of the whole discussion that has arisen around the Black Lives Matter movement.
Now, If anybody's ideas about anything changed because blacks were rioting and looting and burning, he's a fool.
He's a fool.
He's an absolute fool.
How can that possibly have made anybody change his ideas about anything?
If people had any sense at all, it would say, these people are nuts, these people are crazy and violent, and anything they say is likely to be baloney and rubbish.
But that taught him to rethink slavery.
Have you seen that amazing clip of Don Lemon where he asks someone from England about whether or not they're going to pay reparations to the royal family?
Pony up!
Pony up, says he.
Was that not one of the most brilliant, succinct answers the woman gave?
Well, she kind of gave a nod to this idea that, well, yes, this is something we have to worry about in our role in it, too, but But yeah, she says, hey look, who first caught all these people and sold them?
Wasn't us.
Wasn't us.
It was your fellow Africans, Mr. Lemon.
Yeah, shut him right up.
I believe she actually intimated that England deserves reparations for this.
I don't know if she went so far as to say that, but you need to track down the people who are descended from the folks who first caught these guys, and if they deserve reparations, we ain't paying them.
Yeah.
I just thought it was a refreshingly wonderful moment.
It was like, wait a second.
A white person actually sticking up for her own side.
Did you realize we put an end to this while it's still going on, and there's a movie out right now called What's that movie with the Viola Davis we talked about?
Warrior Princess?
Queen?
I think it's Warrior Queen.
Warrior Queen, where they're glorifying this tribe that sold... blocks!
Well, uh... I guess you haven't seen it yet.
No, no.
I suspect I never will.
In any case, we are going to solve the problem by eliminating racist roads.
I had to pull up the full story because I think that there was more to this, and I'm right.
This story is hilarious.
Racist Roads.
This is at MSNBC.
The Biden admin announces first major step to fight America's racist roads.
That's an actual headline.
We're not making this one up.
We never make the headlines.
We never make the headlines, but this is one that you look at like, okay, this is just ridiculous.
The Biden admin is capping off the president's recent trip to Michigan.
Focus on workers' rights and transportation innovation by handing out its first federal grant to dismantle a highway built to perpetuate racial discrimination.
How do they know?
Everything is racist.
I guess you're right.
All you have to do is say, you know, hey.
That's right.
It was racist.
We know.
Street signs are racist.
Bridges are racist.
Boats are racist.
Planes are racist.
Unless Big Mama's flying it.
And 2 plus 2 is racist.
That's what gets me.
But anyway.
So the move is part of the Biden admin broader effort to remake America's infrastructure to be more equitable, including addressing racist roads that were designed to facilitate white flight and deprive black communities of housing and commercial opportunities.
My question to this is, if white flight is taking on, who's occupying the homes that the whites are fleeing?
Gosh, good question.
Good question.
Rats and cockroaches?
I don't know.
There are probably some worth living in.
Transportation Secretary, one of our favorite politicians, Pete Buttigieg.
Buttigieg, he confirmed on Thursday that $104.6 million in federal funds, once again I'm going
to repeat that number, $104.6 million in federal funds coming from last year's bipartisan infrastructure
bill will go toward a plan to dismantle Interstate 375, a highway built to bisect Detroit's Black
Bottom neighborhood and its epicenter of black business, Paradise Valley. If it was such an
important epicenter, it could have been rebuilt anywhere considering the fact that white people
who fled Detroit, they rebuilt the city that their ancestors had built in Grosse Pointe,
in Highland Park, and in Pontiac. Mr. Groze, I don't understand.
If this racist road is being dismantled, where are all the cars going to go?
Is this going to be a pedestrian walkway or something?
If this road is dismantled, where are the cars going to go?
I don't understand it.
Well, the funds allocated to Detroit are part of a $1.5 billion grant program called the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America, or INFRA, for states to move critical projects forward.
We get this quote.
Apparently, Mr. Buttigieg said this.
This stretch of I-375 cuts a gash through the neighborhood.
One of many examples I've seen in a community across the country where a piece of infrastructure has become a barrier.
Again, if white people were able to get on this highway and then go and rebuild the city they had just escaped from, wouldn't you think that black people would also have that opportunity?
Well, I guess it's a barrier.
Well, I wonder if it's an elevated highway.
If that's so, what are they going to do with all the people living under it now?
I don't know, but we learned this, that Detroit's project would create a slower speed boulevard that aims to improve safety by removing a steep curve and adding LED lighting while removing 15 old bridges and two stormwater runoff pump stations and building out wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and pedestrian crossings.
Sounds like it's going to be a heat island pretty soon.
For those long-term listeners, you know, what is it?
It's a lot of shade equity.
So they're going to replace a racist street with an anti-racist street, but it's still going to be a street and it seems to me it's still going to bisect the neighborhood.
But if it's done in the name of anti-racism, it's got to be wonderful and good.
Yeah, and the story goes on to talk about how this was such a historical black neighborhood.
Again, if that's the case, why couldn't they have rebuilt this community somewhere else?
It wasn't as if there were white cops on the road saying, You know, your papers, comrade.
If you're not white, you can't get on this highway.
That's not the case.
The highways were built for everyone.
The highways were built as a defense system by Eisenhower to allow the military to easily get from one city to the next in case of the need to mobilize.
And it allowed anybody the freedom to go.
You don't have to show papers.
You don't have to show a race card.
You can go anywhere you want.
Apparently not those folks.
They were bisected, bisected, and dissected, and that was it.
See, it's a story like this, Mr. Taylor, that this is why you have to be honest with these people and just say... Well... What are you talking about?
How is a highway racist?
Well, uh...
Well, if in fact, if in fact, you had a coherent, wonderful community, and you did bulldoze a 50-foot wide swath right through it and cut it in two, that might be disagreeable.
But is that in fact what happened?
Was that the purpose of it?
All of this, all of this is, and your point is, why couldn't they move?
Why couldn't they move?
But white people move all the time, and white people are forced to move all the time.
But in the meantime, Mr. Kersey, I have found proof of systemic racism.
You have?
I have.
Please do tell.
I have found data that can be explained only by institutional, systemic, systematic racism.
Okay.
And it's the following.
In 2019, there were 34,800 new cases of AIDS reported.
Say that number again.
34,800 new cases of AIDS.
reported. Say the number again. 34,800 new cases of AIDS.
Okay. Blacks were eight times more likely to get it than whites.
Hispanics were five times more likely to get it than whites.
Proof of white privilege and white supremacy.
But the white supremacy and the white privilege failed with Asians.
They were only 79% as likely to get AIDS as white people.
But see, there can be no other explanation.
Systematic racism gave these people Asians.
What was the number you said about Asians?
I'm sorry, you said 79%.
Asians are 0.79.
Okay, 0.7.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know, if one would be equal to the other, they're somewhat less likely.
Yes.
And in TB, there were 7,142 new cases.
Blacks got them at a rate of eight and a half times the white rate.
More systemic racism.
Hispanics at a rate of 11.3 times.
And for our listeners who might not know what you just said, what exactly is... Tuberculosis.
I beg your pardon.
Just making sure everyone knows.
Tuberculosis.
And just to show you that systemic racism is alive and well across the board, Asians got tuberculosis at 41 times.
Now, clearly most of these, the Asian cases, most of them just came across the border.
Correct.
But, so there you go.
There is white supremacy, white privilege, all this wickedness just doing its terrible things.
In the case of chlamydia, black women had it at five times the white woman race rate.
Institutional racism.
Black men got it at six and a half times the rate of white men.
Gonorrhea, Black women ages 20 to 24 got it at seven times the white woman rate.
Black men 20 to 24 at 9.4 times the white rate.
So, you know, we always talk about how the medical system is racist.
I mean, clearly it's just making these people sick, sick, sick.
All those white doctors out there, despite the Hippocratic oath.
And then when it comes to syphilis, Uh, blacks are 4.7 times more likely to get it than whites, and congenital syphilis, 6.4 times.
So, there you have it.
Proof.
Proof, Mr. Kersey.
Proof.
Of systemic racism.
Actually, it just sounds like America has racist roads.
It sounds like America has racist STDs.
It sure does.
That's what it sounds like.
It sure does.
They go out and they target these people with the most vicious, racist intent.
It was just like COVID.
You know, COVID was racist and so are all these diseases too.
But anyway, let's see.
You have a story to tell us about Twilio.
Yeah, before we get to the story, I do want to tell everyone what this company does, because that's important to qualify.
Tulio is an American company based in San Francisco, California, which provides programmable communication tools for making and receiving phone calls, sending and receiving text messages, and performing other communication functions using its web services.
...application interfaces or APIs.
So, without further adieu... Adieu.
Sorry.
If any of our listeners watch Professional Wrestling, you'll get the reference.
Oh, they'll say, without further adieu, they say that?
You know what adieu means?
Adieu is a mispronunciation of the French word for goodbye if you're never going to see anybody again.
Adieu, my friends.
Adieu.
Call me The Closer if any of, like I said, if any of our listeners listen to watch a little A.W.
action.
Anyways, I know, again.
Well, inside joke and I'm on the outside.
Hey, it's, everyone has their parole vices.
So a message from Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson.
This is an email that was sent out to all employees today, and I'll just read two quick paragraphs and then the last paragraph.
Over the years, we've made a lot of changes to the way Twilio operates and is organized, but none harder than what I'm sharing today.
We've made the extremely difficult decision to restructure and reduce Twilio's workforce by approximately 11%.
Teammates and friends who help build Twilio.
I'm not going to sugarcoat things.
A layoff is the last thing we want to do, but I believe it's wise and necessary.
Twilio has grown at an astonishing rate over the past couple of years.
It was too fast.
Not enough focus on one of our most important company priorities.
I take responsibility for those decisions as well as the difficult decision to do this layoff.
Now, why are we talking about this story?
Dear listener, I'm sure you're asking yourself.
It's because of this.
As you all know, we are committed to becoming an anti-racist, anti-oppression company.
Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on marginalized communities, i.e.
non-whites.
So we are particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs, while a business necessity today were carried out through an anti-racist, anti-oppression Lens meaning doesn't have to say it a lot of white people probably were disproportionately axed from their positions with Twilio I'm sure they were also the people who had important jobs that primarily were I would say irreplaceable but they're probably a lot of institutional knowledge was lost by having this anti-racist anti-oppression lens and
I wonder what the white people thought when they got that message.
That email message went out to everybody, right?
And so some of them got told, uh, look out, whitey.
That's what that message means.
Look out, whitey.
I wonder what they thought.
I'd like to know.
Again, I go back to your question about what percentage of Liberals and Democrats, Martha's Vineyard, had a change of mind, and I said maybe 1, 2, 3%.
And you said, get rid of the percent, it's probably 1, 2, or 3 people.
Well, but when people actually get fired, And they know they're better than the melanin-enhanced person sitting next to them who didn't get fired.
That might make them think.
But maybe not.
White people are usually incapable of thought when it comes to race.
Meanwhile, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempzinski gave a talk at the Economics Club of Chicago and he told the people there, our city is in crisis.
Crime is seeping into every corner.
We have violent crime happening in our restaurants.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
We see homelessness in our restaurants.
We're having drug overdoses in our restaurants.
We see in our restaurants every day what's happening in society at large.
Now, did he notice this only when it drifted into his restaurants?
Come on, bonehead.
Well, the Starbucks CEO didn't notice it until it started to impact.
Apparently not.
Apparently not.
I guess those are the only places that they ever go.
They just hop from restaurant to restaurant.
And he also described the recruiting challenge that this presents for the company, which is headquartered in Chicago.
According to him, It's much more difficult to convince people to come work in Chicago with the city's crime surge.
And he pointed out that other companies have actually pulled out of the city in favor of safer refuges.
Now, did he use the b-word?
Did he use the b-word?
That?
No, guess again.
Guess again.
You can do it.
I think you know.
I think you know the b-word.
The only b-word that I can think of having just read Dante's Inferno and Beatrice?
No, that's not what I'm thinking. Okay. Not what I'm doing.
You have flunk. It's a color. It's a color. Yes Yes, that's it. Is that one of the B word brown and black?
It's two words. Yeah Because we've actually read, and we've mentioned this on this podcast before, Chicago used to actually publish a very detailed analysis of crime.
This stopped under Mayor Rahm Emanuel in about 2012, 2013.
It was more detailed than New York's incredible New York City's incredible publication.
Well, the fact is though, you don't even need to read the statistics and nobody ever did.
Nobody ever published these statistics.
They would be hidden off in the internet someplace and only haters and white supremacists and wicked people like us would actually find them and publish them.
But Until people are capable of saying, look, this is a race problem.
These killings, these shootings, all of this violence, these are black people.
We need to talk about it in realistic terms.
But of course, he's incapable of this.
Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot touted the city's crime prevention programs.
She says, we rank third among 50 U.S.
cities for violence prevention services and policies.
And this to us is a very big deal.
We are grateful for the recognition.
Now this comes from an organization called Community Action Fund.
I have no idea who these people are.
I suspect it's just chuck-a-block full of loony liberals.
In any case, we are grateful for the recognition.
And the mayor said the program she started a year ago uses what she calls a holistic approach.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I run for the doors whenever I hear the word holistic.
You're not a practitioner of holistic medicine?
That to me is a sure sign of mumbo-jumbo.
A holistic approach.
And the mayor says homicides and shootings are down by 18%.
And in fact, she is correct about that.
But she made the announcement after a weekend in which 37 people were shot, including a six-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy.
And it's true that the killings are down compared to 2020 and 2021, but the average of killings at the end of September, the last 10 years, is 462.
And this year it's 535.
So it's somewhat down, but it's still awfully high.
And in the meantime, the race of murder victims, 80% black, 17% Hispanic and 5% White and other.
And that's the victims.
Those are the victims.
And I'm sure the count of Blacks and Hispanics on the perpetrator side is higher still.
In any case, there you go.
Now, we're talking about the CEO of McDonald's.
Maybe he's aware of the fact that at a McDonald's on Delancey Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a certain Michael Palacios was spurned by a woman after he asked for her number.
But he was determined.
He kept going after her, a witness said.
And that's when the guys she was with stepped in.
She was with some guys, apparently.
That's pretty brazen.
Yeah, a girl standing with three guys, you know, and you go up and insist on getting a number.
Well, there was an argument and then a fight and, oh, there's video footage of it all.
And they punch this Palacios guy.
Well, he breaks loose and he pulls out a hatchet from a bag he was carrying around.
And at this point, the other customers grow rather apologetic.
But Palacios, he presses forward, and he swings his hatchet at them, and he threatens other diners, and he starts destroying the furniture.
He caused thousands of dollars of damage.
He smashes the tables, and he smashes a glass panel, which shatters in a very satisfying way.
And then, after having done this, without actually slashing anybody up, he fled the scene on his bicycle.
But he was picked up a short time later by police.
I guess when you say, well there's a black guy on a bicycle waving a hatchet, he wasn't all that difficult to find.
But... I don't know.
You think that's not good enough?
Black guy on a bicycle waving a hatchet.
Oh gosh, which one officer?
But, uh, the interesting aspect of the story is that he was immediately out without bail.
Oh, immediately?
Yes.
And remind me the city again?
This is New York.
New York, okay.
That's what I thought.
Uh, yep, New York, but in a McDonald's.
You know, and the CEO of McDonald's is right.
Bad things is a happening in his restaurants.
And he was out on Instagram bragging about the fact that he was out With no trouble and no bail, with a hey nonny nonny, out he went.
But he didn't have a ho ho ho because the guys, because the, never mind.
Never mind.
I didn't go there.
Never mind.
But I guess these happy meals just don't seem to work on black people.
Anyway, meanwhile, meanwhile, in Prince George's County, A jury found that Rico McLean of D.C.
was guilty of second-degree murder for fatally stabbing 28-year-old Kevin Davis at a Popeyes.
These fast food places are getting more and more dangerous.
As it turns out, this McLean, the stabber, brought his wife and two children to get a chicken sandwich.
And the incident happened at the height of the popularity surrounding the release of this new Popeye's Spicy Sandwich.
I wonder if it's any good.
Excuse me?
I wonder if it's any good.
I wonder if it's worth killing over.
Well, you know, in certain populations, just about anything's worth killing over.
But the incident occurred when another African-American fellow citizen, Kevin Davis, cut in line.
Well, McLean was having none of this.
And so he went up to this guy, and they argued for approximately 15 seconds.
Then they took the argument outside to the parking lot, and McLean stabbed the cue jumper to death.
Now, the press did not say whether his wife and two children were there at the time.
Probably they were still holding the line for this important chicken sandwich.
But the wait to get a chicken sandwich on that day is said to have been 15 minutes.
And now that this guy has been convicted of second-degree murder and he's in for a good long stretch, Prince George's County State Attorney Aisha Brave Boy.
That's a name for you.
Aisha Brave Boy.
Yes.
I'd love to know the etymology of that surname.
She says, we hope he becomes rehabilitated and that he becomes remorseful for the pain and hurt that he caused and that he never engages in criminal activity again.
Well, I share that view.
I share that desire that he becomes remorseful.
But, you never know, that chicken is a powerful force.
Chicken is a powerful force.
You never know what's going to happen.
Now, murder in Houston too.
The Houston Police Department received a 911 call about a shooting.
Officers found a 38-year-old man who had been shot to death.
So far, so routine.
But that evening, a woman called 911 to report her husband and two-year-old son were missing.
And the information she provided about the husband was so specific that people figured out for sure that this 38-year-old dead man was her husband.
Now, when they got to the car, they found the two-year-old locked inside and dead.
That is the extraordinary part.
And the officer says it could be something like heat exhaustion.
We don't know.
That will be determined later through autopsy.
The investigators believe the suspect just left the car there, locked up, turned off with a child in the backseat.
He stabbed, he stabs a guy, runs off with his black SUV and just leaves a two-year-old in the car.
The suspect remains on the loose.
Described as a black man wearing a white t-shirt, black shorts, and black Oakland Raiders cap.
The race of the victims remains unspecified.
Okay, so this is one we're going to talk about.
Again, this is part of my theory that being a rapper is to be a member of the most dangerous industry in America.
Yet another rapper rests in the bosom of his creator.
Rapper PNB Rock.
He posted a video on his Instagram on Monday showing off his diamond chains.
Always a mistake if you're... That's a very big mistake.
In the video... Don't flaunt it, guys.
No, no, no.
He's wearing a Louis Vuitton sweatshirt but with huge, massive diamond chains around his neck as he wraps into the camera while driving around with his influencer girlfriend.
I never had an influencer girlfriend.
Boy, I really missed out on life.
It's a shame on you.
It's the most important thing to have in life, is an influencer girlfriend.
Is an influencer better half.
Yeah, and her name is Stephanie Sibunhwang.
And she kind of looks like a Sibunhwang from her photographs.
In any case... Not a brave boy, huh?
Ah, well, brave girl hanging out with him.
Rock then was geotagged in a since-deleted Instagram story by this very same Stephanie Siebenwang as she shared a photo of her food and the location of the restaurant where they were eating.
It happened to be a Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles.
You're having a wonderful chicken and waffles meal, and very shortly thereafter somebody shows up, pulls a gun, and says, hand over the rocks, and the rapper was shot dead, and the shooter buggers off.
No arrests have been made.
Shooter reported to be of a certain racial persuasion.
White guy obviously.
All clearly a white guy.
He was a fan of the guy's music.
Yes, and decided to be a fan of his diamonds, too.
In an interview on September 2nd, this guy, PNB Rock, spoke about the brazen nature of criminals in Los Angeles, which is where this took place, compared to his hometown, Philadelphia.
I guess Philadelphia's a peace-loving place.
He says, where I'm from, we have sneaky criminals.
Like L.A., they be bold, he said.
So, I guess he should have known better.
They were bolder and he should have known better.
Meanwhile, in Portland, Mr. Kersey, crime apparently is encroaching on a black neighborhood.
I never heard of such a thing.
Crime usually spills out of black neighborhoods, doesn't it?
We have racist roads, so obviously those racist roads are keeping all this crime and ensuring that it encroaches on a landmark of Portland's black community.
Why won't City Hall act?
Try and read this one quick because it's one of those that I encourage all of our listeners to actually go out and read for yourself.
Dawson Park, located in the heart of the Elliott neighborhood in North Portland, is two acres of oak trees and green grass.
Five blocks away stands a New Seasons and Pilates studio.
Three blocks away, you can buy a $6 oat milk latte.
That's way too much for a latte.
Nearby, an apartment building is charging $2,400 a month For one bedroom unit.
Yet what's happening on the southeast corner of the park feels a world away.
And by the way, everything they just mentioned in that last paragraph is code for white people.
I'm sure, last time you did Pilates?
Black people got more sense than to splash out six bucks for an oat latte.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Yet what's happening on the North Stanton Street, an open-air drug market sells cocaine to suburban buyers during the day while people smoke crack in the In the one in the area of the neighboring apartment complex, long into the night, women asked for money from strangers in the corner, and according to police reports, sell sex acts for $20 for 20s at the bus stop.
If you're looking for a social ill that plagues Portland 2022, you'll find it here.
Been a part of two years, Dawson Park has made unwanted headlines, never more so in the recent weeks when Legacy Emanuel Hospital threatened to move its nearby children's clinic after one of its employees was assaulted.
Bullet holes have penetrated the church rectory next door.
These are not isolated incidents of gunfire.
The park lies within the zone the city officials have identified in internal documents as the seventh most likely place to get shot in Portland.
Excuse me.
In the past two years, three people have been killed there.
Jason Flakes, who's black, last year moved into a home on Stanton Street with his wife, Brittany, and their six-year-old daughter, Nya.
They ask about the people nodding off in the corner.
He fears she will pick up discarded hypodermic needles from the sidewalk.
We have to tell her, don't be picking up nothing.
What makes this scene more painful is that this is occurring in a park cherished by black Portlanders, some of whom travel nine miles by trimet bus each day simply to play dominoes in a place that feels like home.
Now why does it feel like home to them?
Because the oak trees and the green leaves?
Well no, it's because it's traditionally a landmark part of the black community.
The Portland Police say no targeted drug stings have been made there in the last 14 months.
The city hasn't installed traffic diverters in an attempt to disrupt the drug drive-thru and gun violence.
And the park has not been selected as a priority in the city's campaign to slow gunfire.
In the coming election cycle, candidates across Oregon will describe Portland as a place of danger and lawlessness, which it is.
In reality, the problems that plague Portland are intense, but they are not distributed evenly across the city.
They're primarily where black people are found.
It doesn't say that in the article, but that's, of course, the honest assessment here.
They even fester in certain places and affect some Portlanders more than others.
The publication talks about how they spent some time there, and they found out that a longtime black leader in Portland, James Posey, He lives on North Stanton Street.
He's been there for 40 years.
He says Dawson's Park ultimately represents how the city has neglected the black community.
First, by kicking out black families, gentrification, and second, by abandoning the park as it's beset by crime.
If you get cops off the record, they'll say, we're not going to go over there and the police that area because we're going to be told we're harassing the black community.
Posse says.
And that's a damn shame.
That's the best line in the whole story.
Exactly.
Exactly.
That is the climax this article has been building up to.
Exactly.
You have this black leader who just comes out and basically says what is not just happening in a dangerous part of Portland, this is what's happening all across the country.
This is why the Starbucks CEO, Mr. Taylor, they closed all these stores.
Because it was no longer safe and tenable for these Revenue producing stores, mind you, they couldn't maintain the safety of the employees.
Same thing with McDonald's.
They can't attract employees in Chicago.
Not if they're going to be shot.
Because guess what?
If the police try and crack down on the individuals who are collectively responsible for the gun crime, the murders, the vice, The disorder in Portland and all these cities, they're going to be disproportionately cracking down on black people.
And we're going to be told you can't harass the black community.
That's right.
Can't harass.
There you go.
Okay.
So we're going to lose the country, ladies and gentlemen.
We're going to lose Western civilization unless we realize that, guess what?
We're going to have to harass black people.
I'm afraid we will.
Nobody wants to do it, but it's a job that's got to be done.
And in the meantime, the Director of Diversity and Inclusion for a private school in Baltimore.
I mean, there are crazy stories from all over the country.
And it's called Maryvale Prep School.
Supports racial segregation to protect students from the white gaze.
The white gaze?
The white gaze.
That vicious, murderous white gaze.
Remember the Texas song, The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You?
That would be a great thing for someone to actually redo.
The white gaze is upon you.
All the live long day.
Racist highways beset you.
All the live long day.
Courtesy of the white gaze.
Very good.
Her name is Kalia Selman, an African-Americanist, so far as I can tell, and she gave a presentation to the People of Color Conference, which is hosted by the National Association of Independent Schools.
Now, what this association does is tell teachers and administrators how to embed critical race theory into all of their operation, and it's the largest accreditation agency for K-12 private schools.
If you don't make the NAIS happy, you don't get accreditation.
In her presentation, Kalia Selman claimed that BIPOC spaces are sacred.
She then went on to say, it's necessary for BIPOC students to have space away from the white gaze.
And it is absolutely okay to give black and brown students things you're not giving white children.
Really?
Yep, yep.
She's straightforward about it.
Like STDs?
Well, that's according to the... Ain't too bad.
I'm just looking at the systemic racism you spoke of.
Perpetuate it.
But no, see, that's how they're going to avoid it, you know?
Keep them away from the white gaze.
And that's the white gaze that gives them STDs.
Well, hey, careful with what you just said there.
And she develops for this Maryvale Prep School inclusive and multicultural curricular and co-curricular programming.
Curricular and co-curricular.
Okay.
That reflect the school's mission and commitment to diversity.
And lessons for her middle school students include such things as the historical construction of race and current racial identities in the U.S.
society, and also, this would be a favorite of mine, racism as a primary institution, how we may combat systemic inequality.
It is a Catholic all-girls school, grades 6 through 12, tuition $20,000 a year.
Good word.
And they are protecting the BIPOC students, probably mostly on scholarship, so that the other people can pay just a little bit more.
They will be protected from that deadly white gaze, as we're all pleased to hear.
In the meantime, can we not count on the government to extirpate extremism in video gaming?
I think we can if the money's right.
Boy, I'm hoping so.
You know, I'm not much of a gamer.
I prefer lifting and being outside and riding bikes and hanging out with the fam.
But this one, we got Department of Homeland Security to spend almost $700,000 cash on studying extremism in video games.
So, we're looking at a researcher's getting awarded by our Department of Homeland Security $699,000 to investigate extremism.
As reported by Vice, the money will go to Logically, a company committed to the issue of bad online behavior.
Middlebury Institute's Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism.
And take this!
A non-profit that specializes in mental health and video gaming.
Mental health in video games.
Mental health in video gaming.
And it's going to sniff out extremism.
Yeah, here's how you have mental health.
Go outside and turn the video game off and go actually do a combat sport or lift weights and get some sun and spend some time with your girlfriend.
And, you know, if you don't have a girlfriend, it's probably because you're playing video games.
Sorry to all of our video game playing audience.
Over the past decade, video games have increasingly become vocal points of social activity and identity creation for adolescents and young adults.
Relationships made and fostered within game ecosystems routinely cross over into the real world and are impactful parts of local communities, the DHS website announced.
Correspondingly, extremists have used video games and targeted video game communities for activities ranging from propaganda creation to terrorist mobilization and training, end quote.
The DHS adds that the project will develop a set of best practices and centralized resources for monitoring, evaluating extremist activities, as well as a series of training workshops for the monitoring, detection, and prevention of extremist exploitation in gaming spaces for community managers, multiplayer designers, lore developers, mechanics designers, and trust and safety profs.
Wow, so the people who are making the games have got to be trained to somehow eliminate extremism from their games.
Well, remember, this is the online community.
People play the games online, and so they're developing friendships, relationships, and they have the ability to talk to other individuals as they're playing games.
You could be playing a game here in Vienna, Virginia, Oakton, Virginia, with someone in San Francisco, somebody in the middle of America, and you could, I guess theoretically, the DHS would say, what is Jared Taylor doing playing a video game?
I could send him a message that says, Heil Hitler!
Right?
I mean, what's going on?
I really don't understand.
Again, they don't specify.
It's very unspecified in terms of what's happening, but it's a billion dollar, it's a billion dollar corporate industry.
I mean, a lot of times, Mr. Taylor, you're not hip to it, but when a big time video game is released, It is going to bring in that weekend the amount of revenue that some of the top movies would bring in.
So, this is a huge industry.
Well, I'm sure it is.
I guess, like everything else, it's just brimming with extremism.
Potential extremism.
And we, at this point, have to stop, ladies and gentlemen, because we are running out of time.
