Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance, and with me is my indispensable, irreplaceable, incandescent co-host, none other than Paul Cosby.
This is our first podcast of the brand new year, and so we would like to wish a very happy new year to all of our listeners, large and small, Loyal and even disloyal.
Wherever you are, we hope that 2023 will be a wonderful year, and last but not least, a Happy New Year to you, Mr. Chris.
Well, how did you?
Happy New Year to you and your family as well.
How'd you ring in 2023?
Oh, I'm not telling.
I'm not telling.
Certain things are left unsaid.
But let us begin with comments.
As some of our listeners will no doubt remember, we talked about melanemia, the latest slur for us melanin-deprived white folks.
One listener says, Melanemia!
I know it's meant to cast us as deficient, but gosh, now can I be a victim and qualify for compensation?
Now I have membership and an excuse.
Give thanks!
I'm a melanemic.
Another comment.
IQ, education, innovation, all boils down to technologies.
Some groups are tech-savvy, others lag, some by a lot.
How about techno-anemic?
Technology development and application is a huge factor in group advancement over others.
So maybe so, others are techno-anemic.
We are hyper-technic, I suppose.
But not everyone is happy, Mr. Kersey.
Someone writes in to say that neologism, melanemia, is linguistically misconceived.
In words like anemia and leukemia, the anemia part means blood, not without, as it appears to have been intended.
Well, we understand that, but we didn't invent the phrase, but we adopt it proudly as a slur.
And then here's a different one.
Mr. Kersey, you will recall that in one of our recent podcasts, we talked about the term equity champions.
I forget which university it was, but every so often they select an equity champion to parade around campus.
Everybody shouts Hosanna because this person is really bringing about equity in all its forms.
This person says, our listener says, we need to have a reality champion.
Finally, he says, in relation to your co-host after incandescent, I think the word indefatigable would go very nicely.
So, kudos to you, Mr. Kersey.
Is that five I's?
That's right.
I, I, I, I, I. That sounds rather self-centered.
Now, here is a critique.
Mr. Taylor mispronounces the word Alzheimer's because he pronounces the Z-H as a blend.
It's not Alzheimer's.
It's Alzheimer's because there are many German family names that end in Heimer.
Well, I find this reassuring.
If that is the biggest mistake that any of our listeners could find out, I'd like to think we didn't make any big mistakes.
But thank you for all corrections, large and small.
And then here's a factual comment.
I was pleased to hear this because I had not seen it in the news.
It was not big news, Mr. Kersey, when a federal judge slashed the punitive damages awards against the Unite the Right defendants.
That was the 2017 rally to protect the Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville.
But they slashed the punitive damage awards from $24 million to $350,000.
Citing an existing law that caps damages now That's still an awful lot of money for the people who were found guilty But at least it's a sum that divided amongst all the defendants is something they could conceivably pay off if they really have to After all the appeals are done and they wouldn't have this terrible judgment hanging over their heads this same listener goes on to say a few weeks ago a According to a listener comment, video copies of Disney's Song of the South are practically non-existent these days.
It turns out there are a couple of full-length streaming versions freely available on the Internet Archive site, archive.org.
I haven't checked that out, but I hope it's true, and I urge all of our listeners to go watch this very heartwarming movie.
Yeah, especially with your kids and grandkids.
Yes, it's really fun.
Nieces and Neighbors.
It's a great, great movie.
Yes, it is.
Now, because it is New Year's, I think we should begin with a story about New Year's Eve in France.
On December 28th, as a warning, the city of Strasbourg, France, issued a map that contained information on the parts of town where people could safely park their cars on New Year's Eve so they would not be burned.
Because every year in France, hundreds of cars are burnt on New Year's Eve.
The media will almost never tell you by whom, of course, but needless to say, they are not young white Frenchmen.
Last year, 870 cars were burnt in a single night.
Unofficial reports claimed that over a thousand were burnt.
And an investigative journalist named Ami Mech Said in a tweet before New Year's Eve, make your predictions.
France's traditional burning of the infidel's cars on New Year's Eve will take place.
Last year, a thousand plus vehicles went up in flames.
Will France's cultural enrichers break last year's record?
And in a follow-up tweet, she shared the map issued by Strasbourg with a message that said, Happy New Year's from Charia, France.
The city had got this plan for guarded parking lots and had cordoned off certain streets as being particularly enriched and therefore endangered.
Imagine going to all this trouble to keep your car from being burned.
Good grief.
Now, as our better informed news sources will explain to you, for decades on New Year's Eve, While people stay home and celebrate, youths set hundreds of cars on fire.
The authorities have stopped publicizing the figures to avoid competition in the different regions.
In 2019, 1,457 cars were counted to have burned, while in the year before it was 1,290.
The tradition reached its peak in the 1990s, and it was a time in which people would get
on social media and say, hey, we managed to torch 500.
And then their rivals across the country would say, hey, we got 560.
It was all trying to grab attention and see how many of the infidel's cars could be burned.
Of course, if you go back to the riots of October 2005, I don't know how well you remember that, Mr. Kersey, but on that occasion, there was rioting all across France.
8,000 vehicles were burned, and they started burning buildings, too.
And also, they would set a fire, and then the fire department would come, and the celebrators would attack the infidel firefighters.
And these days, in addition to New Year's Eve, this kind of car burning is a way to celebrate Bastille Day.
I mean, after all, if the French tore down a prison on Bastille Day, why not burn up a few infidel cars?
But, as it turns out, Mr. Kersey, they did not set a record, they didn't break the record of last year.
Apparently, only 874 vehicles went up in flames.
Oh, that's it?
Okay, good.
Yeah, they were slackers this year.
But, it's not because they didn't want to.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin So there you go.
Happy New Year, France.
He's the police and security personnel for keeping the numbers down.
He says thank you to the nearly, get this, 130,000 police, gendarme, and civil security
personnel who provided assistance.
They had 130,000 people on the streets specifically trying to prevent diverse youth from burning
up the cars of the Frenchmen.
So there you go.
Happy New Year, France.
Occupied France.
Oh, boy.
That's a lot of officers on the streets.
That sure is.
Imagine what kind of lovely bonfires they'd have had if they hadn't put these 130,000 officers in.
People are very careful getting their cars off.
Everybody knows they've got to be very careful.
And they've still managed to burn 874 of them.
I think I'd stay out all night.
I'd sleep in my car with something that's probably possession is not allowed in France these days.
In any case, it would be sitting on my hip concealed.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have a story.
Since we're talking about January, a story about January 6th.
Yeah, this is a story that I think a lot of people have missed.
And it's important because this is A story that a lot of us tomorrow are going to be bombarded with.
Neither you nor myself were in Washington, D.C.
on January 6, but of course there are still individuals detained for their role in the quote-unquote insurrection.
Well, we now have William J. Walker, who was the head of the D.C.
National Guard during the insurrection, and here's what he said, Mr. Taylor.
January 6 response would have been vastly different if rioters were black.
House Sergeant at Arms told investigators.
So he indicated that he thought more people in the crowd would have died if the mob had been largely black instead of overwhelmingly white.
Boy, oh boy.
Now, this fellow, this fellow is himself quite melanin enhanced, as I recall.
Oh, he is.
He is.
He is enhanced with melanin to a to a very significant degree.
Yes.
Would you say right up to the eyebrows?
Go ahead, please.
The House Sergeant at Arms, who was the head of the D.C.
National Guard during the attack, told the January 6th Committee that the law enforcement response would have looked much different had rioters been Black Americans.
Quote, I'm African American, child of the 60s.
I think it would have been vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol.
William J. Walker told congressional investigators, this was a transcript released last Tuesday, quote, as a career law enforcement officer, part-time soldier, last five years full, but a law enforcement officer my entire career, the law enforcement response would have been different, end quote.
Now, Mr. Taylor, I got a question for you.
Do you remember what happened in 2020 all throughout May through, oh, I guess I guess July?
Yeah, in some places on into September and October.
I remember very well.
People pretended the rioting wasn't even happening.
And so did the police for that matter.
And, of course, you and I know very well what happened in Richmond.
The orders were out.
You know, let them tear down anything.
Let them burn up anything.
We're not going to arrest or even disturb them or stop them in any way.
You know, the idea that somehow black people are suddenly going to have the wrath of God and all of the firepower in the police department trained on them.
This is just such pathetic nonsense, but I bet all those white Democrats on the committee, they were nodding their heads and saying, mm-hmm, he's right.
He's black.
He knows.
This is just so miserable and pathetic.
Yeah, I mean, the coup really took place when President Trump was taken to the bunker, I believe on May 30th or 31st, 2020, when they tried to breach the White House fence, sending 60-plus Secret Service agents to the hospital for significant injuries.
That's right.
And you can still see the image of D.C.
where there's There's burnings all throughout the city.
It almost looks like some sort of apocalyptic movie.
Some of the images you can see of what happened in D.C.
Of course, we know there were 574 protests that involved acts of violence in the summer of 2020.
This is according to a study of 68 cities by the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
I believe, if memory serves correct, there were estimates that there were $2 billion in damages done.
The story I remember the most of how bad it was, was in Richmond.
When they tried to burn down the Confederate Museum, Mr. Taylor, the white police chief at the time, went on TV and excoriated Antifa, Black Lives Matter, because they stopped a fire engine from coming to put out a fire at a almost all black housing complex, public housing complex.
And it's, it's, it's, we've forgotten it.
We've, we've, well, we've been gaslighted to forget it.
Mr. Walker, Mr. Walker certainly wants you to forget it.
It's miserable and pathetic.
There's actually a couple more really great quotes from him that I think are very, very good to listen to.
So again, he was the head of the D.C.
National Guard during the insurrection.
Of course, they're talking about January 6th.
Also indicated he thought more people in the crowd would have died if the mob had been largely black instead of overwhelmingly white.
Quote, you know, as a law enforcement officer, there were, I saw enough to where I would probably have been using deadly force.
I think it would have been more bloodshed if the composition would have been different.
End quote.
We do know that, what, the only person who died that day was Ashley Babbitt, correct?
Who was shot by a black man.
That's right.
That's right.
Well, if he'd been there, I guess the scores more white people would have been shot.
And I guess you'd been aiming for him.
Yeah.
But no, that's that's the official Jan 6 verdict on the insurrection, as you call it.
And we have one last great quote from him.
Walker, a former Drug Enforcement Administration official, became the House Surgeon at Arms in April 2021, also described his personal experience with discriminatory law enforcement stops and discussed having the talk with his five children and his granddaughter about surviving police encounters as a black American.
Now, what was it?
How many blacks die, honor blacks die each year at the hands of police officers?
It's under 10, right?
Well, it depends on the year.
Sometimes it's 7 or 8, sometimes as many as 12 or 13.
But that includes people who are trying to drown a police officer, throw him off a bridge, run him over with a car.
There are all kinds of ways.
Or they're coming at you with something in their hands.
No, it's a very small number.
And of course, there's a larger number of unarmed whites who are killed by police officers.
No, this is just such, such nonsense.
And as I say, I don't so much blame him for telling the story that he may even believe.
I blame the white people who go along with this stuff and who at least pretend to go along with it.
I think they probably all believe it, too.
But moving up to Toronto, Last week we talked about this.
We've been mentioning it more than once now.
This was an attention-grabbing event because it was a case in which three 13-year-olds, three 14-year-olds, two 16-year-olds, all girls, were accused of swarming and stabbing to death a 59-year-old man right in the middle of downtown Toronto in the middle of the day, broad daylight.
Well, the identities of the accused Their names and their race could not be released because of the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
However, and this is very interesting, when they made internet appearances before the court, there were artists' conceptions of them, artists' drawings.
Now, the artists' drawings were blurred so that you couldn't tell who was who, but you could sure tell they were not Amish, and they do not suffer from melanemia, these people.
And so all of our speculation turned out to be correct.
One of these six, one of these ladies, or ladies-to-be, has been released on bail.
The girl, according to press reports, was led into the courtroom in handcuffs, wearing a black hoodie, and appeared utterly impassive.
She showed no emotion, no apparent regret.
The seven others were scheduled to appear for bail hearing on this very day.
So we'll see if they get out to Frisco or whether they'll be staying put.
Now, it is not clear why they went to downtown Toronto that night, but something else that has dribbled out, just one of those little things that is an afterthought, they were involved in some kind of other altercation.
So it sounds to me that this was a girl wilding gang.
And they went running around and making all sorts of trouble and finally decided to stab somebody to death.
Interestingly, the judge in this case is black.
The defense lawyer, the public defender, is black.
This is in Toronto, mind you.
But the race of the victim has not been mentioned.
Again, speculation is rife, but there are no data.
Now, this was a USA Today story, but just last Wednesday at 11 in the morning, Baltimore police received reports of a shooting at a shopping center across the street from Edmundson Westside High School.
Officers found five juvenile males with varying levels of gunshot injuries in the parking lot.
I thought that was a nice way of putting it.
Varying levels of gunshot injury.
Investigators believe two shooters opened fire at the crowd.
Five students from the high school were shot in the incident.
Investigators have no description of the shooters.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I do.
I have a description.
They're young black males.
Police don't have a motive, either.
And they were there on their lunch hour.
Can you believe that?
Here in high school, you go across the street.
I mean, when I was, I think, in a lot of high schools, they don't let people off campus for lunch.
But in any case, these young black males went across the street to get lunch, and five of them get shot.
Well, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott Likewise, Melanin Enhanced denounced, quote, guns flowing into our city, flowing into our communities, flowing into the hands of our young people.
Well, I'd like to know why are guns such a problem only when they flow into the hands of certain people?
At least Mayor Scott is not accusing the CIA or government authorities of planting guns in the community, which is something that was not uncommon back in the 1980s and 1990s.
I haven't heard that charge for quite some time.
But let's see.
Well, Mr. Kersey, I don't think I've ever actually heard that charge.
That was a conspiracy theory?
That was one of the theories, yes, that drugs and guns were just being dropped off on street corners.
The theory was the CIA was doing this.
Of course, the CIA invented AIDS, too.
That was one of the ideas.
This was to exterminate black people.
But no, I guess they're getting more realistic these days.
It's just guns flowing.
And now they don't even have to invent somebody who's actually making them flow.
They just sort of flow naturally.
But let's see.
Let's talk about Confederate heritage.
Well, no, before we do that, Mr. Kersey, I believe that you have a story about some of the problems that black people have.
And I guess it's just like guns flowing.
Illegitimacy just flows into certain communities, too.
What a transition.
You know, this is why this podcast should be just like the Just like the emails that go out that are award winning.
That was an unbelievable transition.
So let's run with it here.
So yeah, this is a new story today.
77% of black births are to single moms, 49% for Hispanic immigrants.
So more than three quarters of African American births are to unmarried women, nearly double the illegitimacy rate of all other births, according to new federal data.
The National Center for Health Statistics said that in 2015, the year we have information available for on this, 77.3% of non-immigrant black births were illegitimate.
The national non-immigrant average is 42%, and it was just 30% for whites.
Now, of course, you have no idea what percentage of those white women who gave Birth illegitimately might have actually had a non-white partner.
You have to wonder if that rate increases if they have a white partner versus a non-white partner.
Just my speculation.
Now, the new numbers were in a Center for Immigration Studies analysis on births to immigrants.
That total is 32.7 percent, but to Hispanic immigrants it is 48.9 percent, Mr. Taylor.
That's according to Steven Camerota.
50 percent?
Yeah.
He calculated a huge rise in births to single Hispanic immigrants, something that could have societal impact.
From this report, we learned this, Mr. Taylor.
Immigrants account for a large share of births in the U.S.
Almost one in four births, 22.6% in 2015, were to foreign-born mothers.
As recently as 1990, it was just 7.9%.
Wow.
Wow.
I'm gonna read that again.
foreign-born mothers as recently as 1990 it was just seven point nine percent
Wow Wow, I'm gonna read that again
almost one in four births 22.6 percent in 2015 in the United States of America were
to foreign-born mothers as As recently as 1990, it was just 7.9%.
1990 it was just 7.9%.
The great replacement in action.
But the white illegitimacy rate now is about 30%.
That's still awfully high.
That's embarrassingly high.
Yes.
Do you remember, it was in 1965, when Patrick Moynihan was very, very worried because the black illegitimacy rate had crept up to 25%.
He says, this is a bad sign.
And now we have exceeded that rate.
Wow.
Again, the question that I have, Mr. Taylor, though, is of those white women who are giving birth illegitimately, what percentage have a white partner that fathered the child versus what percent have a non-white partner?
Excellent question, and I bet it cannot be answered.
The national data are not out there.
But, you know, all that's going to be solved.
You know why?
I don't.
How?
Because systemic racism is being dismantled monument by monument in Richmond, Virginia.
You know, it's those statues of Stonewall Jackson and Jeb Stewart that cause illegitimacy and the shootings in the ghetto.
You know that.
That's why I have to take them down.
And there was a wonderful story in the Washington Post celebrating the company and its owner, the company that actually takes these statues down.
And so let me read a few paragraphs from it.
City and state officials said they turned to Team Henry Enterprises after a long list of bigger contractors, all white-owned, said they wanted no part in taking down Confederate statues.
Now, this is an admiring profile of Team Henry and the eponymous Mr. Henry, but this is the first I'd ever heard that they had a hard time finding white people willing to take the monuments down.
This is really rather encouraging.
That was a white pill.
I did not want to read that story.
There are reasons to be pleased about it.
Henry never paid—now, see, this is a very interesting, significant thing, too—Henry never paid much attention to Confederate monuments.
I'm sure, until of all this whooping, most black people paid him no mind at all.
He grew up in Hampton and Newport News, and he went to Robert E. Lee Elementary School, but the name meant little to him.
When he got these contracts, he needed a big crane.
Because he didn't have a crane big enough to lift statues, and he thought he had lined one up in Hampton Roads.
But when the company's boss found out that his son had agreed to let him use a crane, he threatened to cut the son out of the business.
Hooray for him!
You ain't using our equipment to take this stuff down.
Eventually, Henry found a crane operator in Connecticut.
So, that's how far he had to go up into Yankee land to find somebody to take down a statue.
Now, at the time, this was very interesting, when he took down Stonewall Jackson, thousands of onlookers chanted, screamed, and taunted the bronze figure of Jackson.
One tearful Confederate defender begged for the work to stop.
Deputies hauled him away.
Now, Mr. Henry, who, as I say, is lovingly profiled and interviewed, he said, people who wanted Jackson down were crying.
They're jumping up and down, going crazy.
At that point, law enforcement had no control.
It was 100 percent chaotic.
Imagine if all those people had been Confederate defenders.
But no, of course, they were people who were screaming for it to come down.
And he says, as the crane lowered the statue to the ground, the crowd surged forward.
Someone said he wanted to urinate on it.
Now, that's typical of the people we're dealing with.
Then he noticed one African-American woman looking at him with an expression of disgust.
Henry said he was confused.
Wasn't she happy?
She was like, why are you showing so much care to the statue?
Just drop it.
Just let it go.
Knock it over.
Nobody cared about George Floyd, but you care about this statue?
I got that, Mr. Kersey.
Nobody cared about George Floyd, and she wants this guy to just drop Stonewall Jackson right on the ground, bust him up.
Well, over several weeks, Henry and his team moved on to dismantle more than a dozen monuments around Richmond under a $1.8 million contract.
Henry's crew was getting better at its work and was becoming in demand, and more and more localities followed suit.
He's the guy who took away Lee and Jackson in Charlottesville.
Yes, this guy's making a specialty of it.
Of course, he's going to work himself out of a job as all these monuments come down.
He is likewise, Mr. Kersey, the fellow who took down the statue of Stonewall at VMI.
Oh my goodness.
He says, however, someone threw a bag of fried chicken at the workers.
Uh-oh.
Racism red in tooth and claw.
I beg your pardon?
Maybe they thought they were hungry.
That's a hard word.
I think they might have.
I think they wouldn't have thrown it that way, though.
They could have walked it over and sort of handed it to him.
But, you know, maybe they were in a hurry walking by.
He also was invited to remove a statue in Shreveport, Louisiana, Henry said, but he declined.
Because the work included reinstalling the monument on a battlefield.
I wanted no part of that, says he.
This is the guy who went to Robert E. Lee Elementary School without being scarred for life, never paid attention to Confederate monuments.
Now he won't even take one down if he's got to put it up someplace.
No, no, no, no, no.
He says business has boomed.
Some potential clients avoided him because of the statues.
Hooray!
But even more have sought him out.
We're busier than ever, he says.
And he says he decided to find a way to turn the destruction into something positive.
This led to a venture in which artists of color, only artists of color, mind you, created digital images of statues being dismantled that they could sell as NFTs.
Aren't you going to line up and buy one?
No, I'm not.
I will say this.
I'm sure he's licking his lips at the prospect of all the other statues that are potentially going to come down that are named after enslavers or those who enslaved.
Well, that's right.
Every white man, practically, is going to have to go.
Now, apparently, and we talked about this before, now that A.P.
Hill has been taken down and his bones disgracefully exhumed, Henry's mission as the man who finally drove the Confederates out of Richmond is complete, says the Washington Post, clapping itself on the back and just reveling in virtue.
Now, as I say, this is going to cure that black illegitimacy rate you were talking about.
No time at all.
Meanwhile, in Eudora, Arkansas, an emergency mandatory curfew has been imposed because there has been a rampage of shootings.
The city has only 3,000 residents, but just in the last couple of months, it's had 10 shootings, according to Mayor Tamika Butler, including one that killed a resident on Christmas Eve.
Facing increased crime, few actionable leads, and limited resources, Butler announced a civil emergency curfew.
So from 8 p.m.
to 6 a.m., unless you have a medical emergency or you're going to work, you've got to stay indoors.
Butler pleaded for community members to work together to stop the violence.
Please help us bring these senseless acts of crime to a stop, she said.
I don't think it'll work, but that's what she said.
Now, they say the department faces some limitations.
Remember, this is a place of 3,000 people, limited staff, a budget best described as peanuts, outdated safety equipment, and broken vehicles.
Now, I would note that the mayor and the police chief, and it seems to me most of the officers in all the photographs, are African American fellow citizens.
And they also said that a sergeant noted that the officials have been unable to act on tips because they don't get any.
No tips!
Only 3,000 people.
Everybody knows somebody.
And boy, if snitches get stitches, the word's going to get around.
The population is 80% African-American.
It has a grocery store, a dollar store, and a liquor store.
All the necessities of life.
And I believe you are aware of this, Mr. Kersey, because you know everything.
And as the listener suggested, indefatigable should be added to your epithets.
But we've got another fake Indian.
Another fake Indian.
Fake Indian?
They keep cropping up.
It's like fake hate crimes.
The co-owner of a queer indigenous artists collective, not as a fake Indian, it's a fake queer Indian, is facing accusations of being white.
Oh no!
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
You know, people used to pass as white.
Now they're accused of being white.
Big change.
Kayla Clare.
who identifies as non-binary. She faked her indigenous heritage and used the front to make
money after claiming since 2007 to be Metis, Oneida, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Cuban,
and Jewish. Boy, she is a real stew pot. She was an emerging leader in the Madison,
Wisconsin indigenous arts community.
She earned artist stipends and had a paid residency at the University of Wisconsin, speaking gigs and art exhibitions.
Well, all this has come crashing down.
Ms.
LeClaire, who went by the Native American name of, and this is one I'm going to have a horrible time pronouncing, this looks like Nibi Iwakamimigakwi.
I'm not going to try that again.
Say that five times fast.
Say it once fast.
Say half of it fast.
Was exposed after a hobbyist genealogy tracked her down.
Well, she reportedly now says that any culture related items that she possesses are being given back to the community.
Vows not to seek any more grants while she's going to take herself off any current grants.
She says a lot of information has come to my attention.
Come to my attention.
I am still processing it all, and do not know how to respond adequately.
What?
She's processing the fact that she's not an Indian?
She says, I can now offer change.
I'm not using the Ojibwe name anymore, and I'm removing myself from all community spaces, positions, projects, and grants, and will seek no new ones.
Well, I think in our next story, you're going to explain Somewhat indirectly, why it was so useful for her to pretend to be an Indian, especially at Dartmouth.
It's great to be an Indian, isn't it?
Send up the smoke signals for this next story.
No, it is amazing, though, this white from white, as Steve Saylor called it, how many people out there They don't want to marinate in their white privilege.
It just doesn't get them access to be on the burgeoning speaking circuit for queer Indian artists.
And it doesn't give you, what is it that you can't do unless you're a BIPOC at Dartmouth?
Well, it's this simple.
Dartmouth College's $100 million dollar STEM program.
White men need not apply.
Mr. Taylor, this story comes to us from TheCollegeFix.com.
Yet again, another worthy website to add to your bookmarks, ladies and gentlemen.
Once again, that's TheCollegeFix.com.
Dartmouth College's planned $100 million program to help, quote, historically underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, end quote, is moving forward, aided by a recent gift that will cover one-fourth of the cost.
However, white male students appear to be excluded from the program, raising significant legal concerns.
Groups included in the STEMx initiative, according to Dartmouth, include blacks, Black, Latinx, and Native Americans, as well as women.
Now, several experts on Title IX sex discrimination and Title XI race discrimination law are concerned about the legality of the program, according to comments they made to College Fix.
The program will be partially funded by a $25 million grant from Penny and James Coulter.
They're a billionaire couple who made their money through private equity company TPG Capital.
In addition to the grant, Dartmouth has raised $35 million to fund the program and seeks to raise an additional $400 million, which would bring the total cost for STEMxInitiative, kind of like that, that's kind of a cool concept, to $100 million.
The College Fix team reached out to Dartmouth's media team and the cultures of their company to ask about the specifics of the program and if they had any concerns about granting awards based on race.
Based solely on race rather than merit, but did not receive a response to inquiries sent over the past couple weeks.
The program is a three-year cohesive diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic plan that cuts across both academic and administrative areas of the institution of Dartmouth.
Beyond Barteen, the founder and president of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, a civil rights legal advocacy group, told The Fix in the email, the scholarship program, which excludes individuals based on skin color, would not be lawful.
So, it's really simple.
This is, yet again, one of those opportunities for maybe Steve Miller's law firm, you know, his advocacy group to come in and sue this college for its discrimination against whites, white males.
Well, sounds like K. LeClaire, who pretended to be Ojibwe, could have qualified even without faking being Indian.
But, I guess she's not a Dartmouth student, and probably never will be.
Now, this is a story from The Telegraph about Joe Biden.
Not really our beat, but all the points that the article was making were really quite refreshing and interesting.
And it said that according to a CNBC poll in December, 57% of Democrats do not want Brother Biden to run again in 2024.
He will be 82 years old.
However, a former member of Mr. Biden's staff told The Telegraph, His vanity and self-aggrandizement mean he can't process the idea that he's not doing a great job.
Does that sound like any other prominent politician we've had lately?
He has been buoyed by the better-than-expected results in the midterm elections.
Also, Donald Trump's declaration that he will run for Republican nomination only intensified Mr. Biden's view.
You will recall that Mr. Biden now claims that it was the 2017 Unite the Right rally that convinced him that he had to join the process to save the nation.
And Mr. Biden's team has also begun making aggressive efforts to reconnect with wealthy campaign donors who had grumbled about a lack of contact with the White House in his first two years.
I guess they wanted to be patted on the head.
Many were invited to a string of White House Christmas parties and tours.
The number being wined and dined was described by one official as obscene.
Other potential donors for the 2024 campaign were invited to the recent state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron and the lighting of the White House Christmas tree.
Mr. Biden's team is aware the campaign will mean much more intense workload than in 2020, when his appearances were limited by the pandemic.
Also, I think, limited by his lack of energy and initiative.
Currently, the president constantly seeks to offset the image of his age when he's in public.
He makes a point of jogging or skipping a few steps as he gets on stage or hops off of Air Force One.
I guess that's when he's not falling down the stairs to it.
His 80th birthday in November passed with deliberately little fanfare.
White House officials said they did not have time to organize a major event.
They just didn't have time, Mr. Kersey.
One of the few unlikely events that could possibly persuade Mr. Biden not to run would be a decision by Mr. Trump, now age 76, to withdraw.
So there you go.
I thought that was really quite an interesting little observation.
I didn't realize that he makes a point of hopping up to the microphone, but I guess he's just got to convince us that he's not going da-da after all.
Now, one last little story.
And before we have another one that you will bring to a waiting audience, and that is this.
It has to do with the elimination of standards.
And here's this is one of the the wrongdoers being hoist on their own petard.
These days, at least two thirds of higher education institutions, including Harvard and Stanford, do not require the SAT for admission.
The American Bar Association recently said it's going to drop the LSAT as an admissions requirement for law school.
And some are calling for the MCAT, the Medical College Admissions Test, to be scrapped as part of medical school admissions.
All of this, of course, in the name of racial equity.
All those tests are inherently biased.
Now, the latest standard on the chopping block is the name of the colleges themselves.
themselves in recent job posting for an outfit called HRNA Advisors.
This is a New York-based real estate consultancy, and it asked applicants for a job that pays from $121,000 to $138,000 a year to remove all undergraduate and graduate school name references from their resumes and cite only the degree The idea is this is part of their ongoing work to build a hiring system free from bias, based on candidate merit and performance.
Well, take that, Harvard and Stanford!
They're going to scratch your name right off their resumes, because that is unfair, just like getting a high SAT score.
I absolutely love it.
That would serve them right.
Yeah, make that a general requirement.
You have some fancy degree?
Too bad.
It's only the subject matter that matters.
And a listener who sent this story in says to me, if you really want to go all the way with this equity idea, all personal information should be banned.
For example, it must be embarrassing for some people to know that their ancestors never made it out of the Stone Age without somebody's help, while other people's ancestors had advanced civilizations and were responsible for almost all of the scientific breakthroughs.
But I love it.
All of these schools are saying, no, no, no, no, these things are not a reflection on your inheritability, and who pride themselves on how prestigious they are and how valuable their degrees are.
Yes, now their names are going to be stricken off a few resumes.
Well, I hope they're stricken off all resumes.
Meanwhile, I understand you have a story about Yeah, one last demo story you just did as a means of increasing diversity, inclusion, and equity at all these institutions when it comes to removing schools off of a resume.
story you just did as a means of increasing diversity, inclusion, and
equity at all these institutions when it comes to removing schools off of a
resume. Why not just remove names as well unless it is a obviously you know one of
these five or six syllable black first names that you usually see on the
college football teams or professional football.
Oh, you mean in the best way?
You mean on the crime reports?
Well, on the crime reports as well, yes.
But that to me, that's, you know, as more and more white people fake being non-whites to get ahead in society. Maybe that's what we're
going to see. Someone's going to change their name from, well, I can't even think of any of these
crazy black names right now, but that seems to be one of the great, you know, change.
The Shod. Yes.
Yeah, Sean to Deshaun.
Yeah, exactly.
So, that's like a brilliant way to manipulate a system of hiring preferences that is increasingly looking for people of color.
Or, you know, you could give a name like Quenisha or Latrina as a middle name, and then when it comes time to apply, your little Elizabeth could be Quenisha.
How about that?
I think you basically are feeding into the next era of resume padding.
It's not about what school you went to, but it's about what unpronounceable first name you have that's going to get you in the door.
Well, speaking of the door, College Prep School hosts seminar for those guilty of parenting while white.
Private College Preparatory School Charles Wright Academy is near Tacoma, Washington.
In a spirit of challenge, the faith-related CWA recently hosted a parent symposium.
As depicted on Twitter, a school handout advertised diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging events planned for fall 2022 and into winter of 2023.
Among them, quote, the importance of discussing social identity with your kids, end quote.
Arguably, Of more note, though, was this class, this symposium.
This is from Earlier in November of 2022, Parenting While White.
You could have attended that if you were in the Tacoma area on Wednesday, November 9th.
Upper School Commons.
It was a two-hour symposium.
The description of what transpired.
Join our facilitator, Dr. Elizabeth Denevy, to discuss the importance of talking to white children about race.
We will learn some strategies about how to do it, along with mistakes and lessons learned.
The goal of these conversations is to create community and have a place where parents can ask important and challenging questions about navigating
healthy identity development. Bonus, there was a light dinner provided.
Fried chicken? Watermelon?
White crackers.
These days, you know, again, this is just a number of lectures you can attend across the country that this article points out.
White women who lecture us on racism says all white people should shut up.
Tufts University hosts unpacking whiteness program and declares the game is rigged.
Extremely white college professor fights for the lie and disease of whiteness.
UC Berkeley professor told students abolishing whiteness means wiping out white people.
Cartoon Network schools kids on racial righteousness.
You must never be colorblind.
Experts warn of the racism of three-month-olds.
Recommend anti-racist training.
Anti-racist infant child care chain says babies should learn diversity, equity, and inclusion.
I think they need to learn potty training first.
I think that was, well, I don't know.
I guess that comes later.
Yeah, what's more important, diversity, equity, inclusion, or being potty trained?
It's going to be increasingly hard to answer that one.
Wow, well, that's a really impressive list of headlines you've got there.
That's quite wonderful.
And, you know, it is true because we are inherently Inborn racists.
You've got to nip it in the bud while white people can't even talk.
You've got to tune them to equity and inclusion.
I don't know quite how you do it, but I'm sure Ibram Kendi could explain.
Well, you know, this all goes along with some of the great things we've been learning lately.
The Scientific American has discovered yet another astonishing example of institutional racism.
It had an article called, The Racist Roots of Fighting Obesity.
Uh-oh.
Well, it turns out black women have been identified as the subgroup with the highest body mass index.
They've been identified.
I mean, this sounds like somebody singled them out and gave them the highest body mass index.
Four out of five are either overweight or obese.
That's a lot.
While there has been a massive public health campaign urging fat people to eat right, eat less, and lose weight, black women have been specifically targeted Well, is that because they're black or because they're fat?
This heightened concern... Mr. Taylor, if you could go back real quick, did you say 80% of black women are obese?
Overweight or obese.
I don't know at what point... You said 4 out of 5.
Wow.
I beg your pardon?
Yes, 4 out of 5.
I mean, for white women, I bet it's at least 2 out of 5, maybe 3 out of 5.
I mean, there's a whole lot of fatness going around.
But this heightened concern about the weight of blacks is not new.
It reflects the racist stigmatization of black women's bodies.
This is Scientific American talking now, mind you.
This is not The Root.
This is not The Griot.
This is Scientific American.
Today, the idea that weight is the main problem dogging black women builds on these historically racist ideas and ignores how interrelated social factors impact black women's health.
Social determinants have been shown to be more consequential to health than BMI or health-related behavior.
My gosh, you can have a diet of nothing but ice cream, and that's less important than social determinants.
I mean, that was my rhetorical observation.
Many studies show that the stigma Associated with body weight rather than the body weight itself is responsible for adverse health consequences blamed on obesity.
I'd like to see one of those.
Regardless of income, black women consistently experience weightism in addition to sexism and racism.
White people, I guess, never are victims of weightism.
From workplace discrimination and poor service at restaurants to rude or objectifying commentary online, the stress of these experiences contributes to higher rates of chronic mental and physical illness, such as heart disease, diabetes, depression, and anxiety.
Furthermore, most individuals who attempt to lose weight are unable to keep the weight off.
This weight-focused paradigm fails to produce thinner or healthier bodies, but it succeeds in fostering weight stigma.
Therefore, and this is the key quotation it seems to me, the most effective and ethical approaches for improving health should aim to change the conditions of black women's lives, tackling racism, sexism, and weightism, and providing opportunity for individuals to thrive.
Well, I guess what that means is if you tackle racism, sexism, and weightism, then they can all weigh 400 pounds and live to be 100 years old.
That will give them the opportunity to thrive.
Again, Scientific American used to be a respectable magazine.
I remember puzzling through scientific articles when I was in high school, being very impressed by how detailed they were.
But golly, this thing has just become the most Just predictable anti-racist rag.
And then moving on to Time Magazine.
I'm sure you saw this story.
This got around quite a lot.
There was an article called, The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise.
I did see this.
A squat workout after I read it.
Good for you.
Good for you.
And six other surprising facts about the history of U.S.
physical fitness from Time Magazine.
There was an interview with Natalia Millman-Petrala.
She is the author of a book called Fit Nation.
She says it was super interesting reading the reflections of fitness enthusiasts in the early 20th century.
They said we should get rid of corsets.
Corsets are an assault on women's form and that women should be lifting weights and gaining strength.
At first you feel like this is so progressive.
Then you keep reading and they're saying white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies.
It's totally part of the white supremacy project.
So that was a real holy crap moment as a historian.
Is that a term of art among historians?
A holy crap moment.
Does that have something to do with the squats you were involved in?
I was also really moved speaking to gay men who lived through HIV AIDS and talked about how they exercised to display that they had a healthy body at a moment when there was so much homophobia.
Now this is a great quote too.
What's so unfortunate about the pandemic is how much it affected it.
Let me start again.
What's so unfortunate about the pandemic is how much it accelerated fitness inequality.
You can go home and be on your Peloton if you can afford it, if you have space for it.
Well, that was what was so unfortunate.
People dying, the economy being locked down.
Those are just afterthoughts, I guess.
But the fact that some people can afford a Peloton machine, others can't.
That was the really bad thing about the pandemic.
She also says running became a popular exercise in the 1970s, but it's important to point out that access was never equal.
Women were catcalled.
People of color were thought to be committing a crime.
How often does that happen?
And you recall, Mr. Kersey, at the beginning of the mask requirements, all these black men complaining, homo, we'll be shot down in our tracks if we're walking around wearing a mask.
All black men will be shot as soon as they put on a mask.
What baloney.
Anyway, okay, let's see.
One more crazy story we had here, and that has to do with Disneyland.
As you know, and as so many of our listeners probably know, all of these clips circulating of our African American fellow citizens misbehaving in public places like Kmart's or Disneyland or Waffle Houses.
But the Know Before You Go section on the Disney website now reminds guests that inappropriate behavior can result in being kicked off the property.
The park asks that guests show common courtesy to other guests and employees by not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive, or offensive behavior, jumping lines, or saving places in lines for others.
Well, this is a new addition to their website.
I wonder what caused it?
Well, a listener suggests that Disney should open a new resort And called it Afroland, call it Afroland, where it encourages profanity, unsafe, illegal, disruptive, or offensive behavior.
White people would not be allowed.
That would make it a safe place, a safe space for blacks.
And there would be activities like kick the cracker, mug the chink, and everyone will win a prize.
Even the children will get at least one small can of malt liquor.
And just before the big Afroland sign, it would say EBT accepted.
I think this guy's a marketing genius.
That guy's a genius, but I'll tell you, Disney owns the IP to Marvel, which means they own Black Panther.
Just call it Wakanda.
Indeed.
Well, Mr. Kurzy, maybe we should save your climate change and gun violence story for a time when we have more time.
What do you think?
Can you compact that into a minute and a half, or should we?
Let's save that for next time.
That's an important story, yes.
This is a good one, too.
A Minnesota liberal arts professor was fired after Muslim students complained that instructors showed historic depictions of Muhammad during a class about Islamic art.
This at Hamline University.
Aram Veditala, president of the Muslim Student Association, said, as a Muslim and a black person, I don't feel like I belong.
I don't think I'll ever belong in a community where they don't value me as a member.
What would this guy do?
He showed images of Muhammad painted in the 1300s and the 1500s, and the Quran does not forbid either explicitly or implicitly images of Muhammad.
There are many visual depictions of Muhammad with his face veiled, sometimes symbolically represented as a flame, and other times he is perfectly visible from before 1500.
They show his face, and scholars concede that the depictions of the Prophet have a spiritual element, sometimes used for informal religious devotions.
And there is a notable corpus of images of Muhammad produced mostly in the form of manuscript illustrations in various regions of the Islamic world from the 13th century through modern times.
But you show them, and you're Islamophobic, and you can no longer teach at Hamelin University.
So, as our Time comes to an end.
Let's remind people how they can reach us.
We love hearing from our listeners.
Tell us where we jump the tracks, tell us which tracks we should be on, and just tell us how much you love us.
And you can write to amren.com, a-m-r-e-n.com, and click the Contact Us tab, or shoot an email to becausewelivehereatprotonmail.com.
Once again, all one word, Because we live here at Protonmail.com.
And for Mr. Taylor, this has been Paul Kersey.
Happy New Year to all of our listeners worldwide.
Yes, we wish you a very, very happy 2023, and it will be our privilege and our honor to speak with you next week.
