‘Anti-Racists’ Seeing the Light?

Jared Taylor and co-host Paul Kersey are surprised to learn that famed "anti-racist" Robin DiAngelo is telling black people to stay away from whites. The hosts also discuss Charles Negy, racist K9s, Suella Braverman, and whether drinking coffee is racist.

Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
And today is March 23rd, 2023.
And with me, of course, is my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
Good afternoon, Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
How are you?
How are you?
Doing well, as usual, I hope?
Well, I only got one I as a superlative for that introduction, but I'm doing well, and I wish all of our listeners a fantastic end to, well, it feels like winter's over, so I hope all is well there at the Taylor compound.
All is well.
Thank you.
Our first comment.
On last week's episode, Mr. Taylor spoke about IQ, and he made the obvious point that smart people are having fewer children and dumb people are having more children.
I encourage both the hosts and all listeners to watch the 2006 film Idiocracy, in which this scenario eventually leads to our civilization becoming hilariously dumbed down to the point of no return 500 years in the future.
You will notice that nearly everyone in the future has a Hispanic-sounding surname, and it will sadden you to think, no way it'll take 500 years to get there.
Well, that's true.
And you know, it's not just the fact of smart people having fewer children than stupid people.
Some of the people who have really quite high IQs and go to college, they end up doing some of the most destructive and awful things of anything.
I think I'd probably rather have random people out of the phone book running the country than people with Harvard PhDs.
It's really a very sad situation.
I've never seen that movie, by the way, but I've heard about it.
And as I understand, isn't there some wise black man who runs this idiotic country 500 years in the future?
Oh, I have seen Idiocracy.
I actually, believe it or not, back in 06, I came back from a conference in DC and I went to a theater in Atlanta and I saw it at Phipps Plaza.
It played for one week and then it was pulled from theaters and I was mesmerized.
I saw it I'm a mortal day weekend.
If you remember the Australian gentleman, Steve Irwin, who died tragically, he was the alligator hunter.
I remember I'm going back from the airport.
I went and saw it.
And the reason why I bring this up, Mr. Taylor is in.
I was wondering.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The reason why I bring this up in Ashley Vance's book, Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, and the quest for a fantastic future.
They had access to Elon Musk and he starts going on this weird, uh, soliloquy about how this is the most important movie ever made.
Because the right people aren't having children.
Well, he was right about that.
Go ahead, I'm sorry.
Is my recollection correct about some semi-wise black man running the show?
No, no, no.
He's not semi-wise at all.
He's a ex-pro wrestler, very muscular black actor played by Terry Crews.
Actually a very good actor and he nailed it.
He basically just showed the absurdity of where we're headed.
I highly recommend Idiocracy.
If you guys haven't seen it, Mr. Taylor, you should watch it.
Give us your thoughts on it, because it doesn't go far enough, and the opening scene is one I think you'd actually get a chuckle from.
I seldom chuckle, but I would do my best.
Another comment here.
I admit this is a bit of a sappy proposal, but I'll make it anyway.
How about featuring one story per episode that reports on some unknown white person's remarkable achievement?
It could be a break in the program called White of the Week.
Your listeners might find this uplifting and inspiring.
Well, we'll take it under advisement, as the lawyers like to say.
It's always good to have heartwarming news.
Here's another comment.
This person points out, we mentioned Charles Nagy briefly, an associate professor of psychology, and I'll remind my listeners and Mr. Kersey's listeners, he made headlines in the wake of George Floyd's untimely death in May 2020 when he tweeted, Black privilege is real.
Besides affirmative action, special scholarships and other set-asides, being shielded from legitimate criticism is a privilege.
Well, oh boy, this was just intolerable at the University of Central Florida, and he was eventually pushed out.
Well, not eventually, it didn't take much time at all, but he was reinstated with back pay and benefits.
Well, this just happened, maybe that happened about 10 months ago, and now he is suing the University of Central Florida.
His lawsuit says that as a result of his sudden loss of income, Negi, who is the sole caretaker of his mentally and physically disabled brother, was forced to sell his house and move in with a relative.
But, our listener points out, and this is the choicest part of all, this is one of the aspects of the news that I certainly hadn't noticed, it says, excuse me, Negi has said the situation is especially ironic because he was a diversity hire.
He is homosexual and half Hispanic.
But neither community has come to his defense amidst the turmoil.
So what do you know?
You can be a homosexual, you can be half Hispanic, but boy, you step on the race landmine and they're going to turn their backs on you.
But it's always this interesting balancing act of which form of oppression and which level of discrimination trumps another.
So I guess he's just an ordinary white man when it comes to getting people fired from their university jobs.
It's amazing how pale they get when it's necessary.
That's right.
Well, good old Mr. Zimmerman back in the Trayvon Martin days, he was a white Hispanic.
I think that was the first time I'd seen that term regularly used.
When they're a target, then they're white people, even though they are Hispanic.
And last comment here, I fear that on your podcast last week, Mr. Taylor joined the ranks of the presidents in his counting abilities.
Uh-oh.
Or perhaps Mr. Taylor is prescient and is thinking of DC and Puerto Rico when he referred to the lower 50 when talking about the states.
I don't remember doing that, but our listeners never lie.
I must have made such a mistake.
And of course, our listener is reminding us of the fact that last fall, Joe Biden talked about having visited 54 states.
So I guess if I think that the lower 48 is in fact the lower 50, I must be presidential material.
I'd say you are.
Well, better than what we've got, but that's not saying much.
Then our listener goes on to say, all kidding aside, I truly love your podcasts.
Well, we do like corrections, and we do like it when corrections come with a love letter at the end.
Moving on to one of our favorite white people, Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility.
I wonder if there is a single listener who has not heard of Robin DiAngelo.
She's one of these people who became an instant multi-millionaire when she started teaching white people how awful they are.
And her book, White Fragility, has become an absolute classic, required reading all over the country in university classrooms and in the homes of concerned white people, especially women.
We're worried about popping up the white supremacist patriarch.
Well, her most recent book title is called The Facilitator's Guide for White Affinity Groups, Strategies for Leading White People in an Anti-Racist Practice.
That sounds like rather a more specialized volume for people who are leading white people in an anti-racist practice.
Or maybe it's not a practice like practicing law of psychiatry.
Maybe it's sort of the never-ending journey that white people are all supposed to be on.
Maybe that's not called a practice.
I must say, I don't plan to dip into this latest tome of hers.
Apparently, she suggests, she says that white people should stay within their own racial social circles.
I mean, that does pique my curiosity, but...
This is added to by the fact that on the 1st of this month, 1st of January, 1st of March, she was in a webinar called Racial Justice, The Next Frontier, in which she said, people of color need to get away from white people and have some community with each other.
Now, does that remind you of someone else that we recently talked about, Mr. Kersey?
It reminds me of the creator and the artist of Dilbert, Mr. Scott Adams, but he said the exact opposite.
Well, but it's the same thing.
Exactly.
No, no, he said the opposite.
He said, white people need to get the hell away from black people.
Well, but white people, if black people need to get the heck away from white people, well, it sounds pretty symmetrical to me.
She also suggested that it should be a basic qualification for any employee in any organization to engage in conversations about anti-racism.
And this is a direct quote.
What I want to do is create a culture that actually spits out those who are resistant.
Wow.
I think I would be spat out, Mr. Kersey.
Probably you too.
You'd be spat out with the rapidity of a watermelon seed.
I would like to think that at least half the population would be spat out.
Then we can start our own little white homeland.
But, you know, this really is the logical outcome of all of this guff about how inherently racist and horrible white people are.
I mean, if, you know, Dilbert is of course right.
Being around black people is dangerous.
Many of them don't like us.
But they are always complaining about how awful we are.
And if you say, well gosh, then I tell you what, you can be spared our awfulness if we just each go our own way.
That's no good either.
But that's what I don't understand.
But I hope, maybe, Robin DiAngelo is heading in that direction.
That she thinks white people are just so awful That BIPOCs need to be protected from us, and the best way for them to be protected from us is if we go our own way.
You think I and Robin DiAngelo could get together and work something out?
No, she would find you to be so repulsive, repugnant and unworthy.
She'd spit me out.
She would turn away because she would know that at this point she would find a white individual who was not used to capitulating.
And that is something that her entire career is based upon.
Ah, boy.
I'd like to think that every now and then somebody stands up and tells her and gives her what for, but who knows?
Well, I thought this was a fascinating news story, and it had to do with Jackson, Mississippi.
Your favorite city, your favorite mayor.
It really is?
And it was from today's New York Times.
So, ladies and gentlemen, this is hot, hot, hot off the press.
Of course, people don't read much that's off the press these days, and I didn't read it off the press either.
It came in by email.
It starts like this.
On an abandoned golf course overgrown with shrubs and sawgrass, you can hear the rushing water from 100 yards away, near Hole 4.
Past the little bridge and crumbling cart paths, what looks to be a waterfall comes into view, pouring down through the brush and into the creek below.
Except the torrent of water, gushing up through the mud, isn't from a stream-fed stream or bubbling brook.
It is spewing from a broken city waterline.
What descriptive writing, by the way.
I love that.
Oh, isn't this charming?
Isn't this beautiful?
I mean, it's a waterfall, but then she says it's gushing up through the mud.
I never saw a waterfall gushing up through the mud.
But this is the New York Times.
Then, this is a lady author by the way, only I think a lady author would write quite in those terms, she says, as residents had to boil their tap water and businesses closed because their faucets were dry, the break at the old colonial country club, this is the one that's all overgrown, these old colonial country clubmen are no longer there, Mr. Kersey, no longer playing their golf games.
But it was squandering an estimated 5 million gallons of drinking water every day in a city that had none to spare.
It's enough water to serve the daily needs of 50,000 people or a third of the city residents who rely on the B. Ligard Water Utility.
Now, this is one of my favorite sentences.
No one knows for sure when the leak reached its current size.
No one knows because no one's checking.
But newly appointed water officials say the city discovered the broken mainline pipe in 2016 and left it to gush.
Even as the water gouged out a swimming pool-sized crater in the earth and city residents were forced to endure one drinking water crisis after another.
This thing has been leaking since 2016.
In 2022, the Justice Department reached an agreement with the city requiring it to bring in an outside manager to run the water department.
It's about time, I should say.
Jordan Hillman, the chief operating officer of JXN Water, the management company formed last year to lead Jackson's effort to stabilize its water service.
That's the guy's name.
He says most places would see this as an immediate threat.
This leak they discovered in 2016, because it's a ticking time bomb.
As it eats the ground out away from it, you're eventually going to have a catastrophic failure, because the water will eat the ground up away from it, the thing gets worse and worse, and eventually it's going to have a complete collapse.
There have, and now this is another great sentence, this lady journalist, I think she's more of a typist for the New York Times.
She says, it's unclear why the City and Water Department did not repair the leak sooner.
It's unclear to her.
How about to you, Mr. Kersey?
Let's just say this.
Jackson is one of the cities that has been highlighted.
The AR magnifying glass has been put on it in the great Gregory Hood's Great Replacement Series.
And it was a city that was a world-class city.
There's no doubt about that.
It was at one point.
And unfortunately, the demographics are now... It's one of the blackest big cities in America.
It's been replaced.
It's been replaced.
Well, the New York Times goes on to say that there are many leaks.
And this lady journalist has found a leak that is spewing water 30 feet in the air!
30 feet in the air!
Wow, like a geyser, losing the city as much as 1 million gallons a day.
So, this one, the golf course, that's 5 million a day, this is 1 million, that's 6 million, just with two leaks, and there are many leaks all over the place.
The system faced a near total shutdown in March 2021, and residents went for weeks without water.
Well, let us remind our listeners, the mayor, the mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, He's a fellow named Chokwe Antar Lumumba.
Junior.
No, no.
Actually, his father was Chokwe Lumumba Antar.
The middle name is not the same as his father's.
Oh, well forgive me for that one.
Yeah, thank you for the good call.
I believe I'm right about that.
That he was Chakwar Lumumba.
Chakwe Antar.
Who died in office when he wanted to institute a black-run South with Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia as those provinces united.
Well, Lumumba Jr., if that in fact is what he is, was first elected mayor in June of 2017 with, guess what percentage of the vote?
90% of the vote.
93%.
This is despite the fact of having had to defeat several people in the primary.
Of course, it's an all-Democrat state.
I suppose, I'm sorry, all-Democrat city.
So once you win in the primary, then I guess you come cruising home with 93% of the vote.
And at the time, his promise was to make Jackson the most radical city on the planet.
Well, he's probably making it the most thirsty city in the United States.
He's off to a great start.
But this is all a complete mystery to the New York Times.
Well, now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you've got a story on how they're going to solve the dearth birth in Philadelphia.
This is one of those where they bury the lead to the bottom, and so I'll try and keep this concise and tight.
Daily Mail does a great job.
This is from the Daily Mail.
The headline was, Philadelphia will pay women to get pregnant.
Expectant mothers will be entitled to $1,000 a month with no strings attached amid falling fertility rates and rising baby deaths.
So again, this is a trial program that's going to be started with 250 expected mothers.
They're going to receive those no-strings-attached payments for their third month of pregnancy through their baby's first birthday.
Pilot program is known as Philly Joy Bank.
It's going to operate in the areas of the city with the highest rates of low birth weights.
Cobbs Creek, Strawberry Mansion, and Nice Town Tioga.
Remember those three names because we'll get to the demographics of those at the very bottom of the article.
Of the 10 most populated cities in the United States, Philadelphia has the highest rate of infant mortality.
The scheme also comes amid a baby bus across America that is seeing fewer women than ever have children amid changing family values.
I wonder why that is.
Announcing the scheme at a news conference on Monday, I love that word scheme is used here, Dr. Stacey Kalem, Director of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health's Division of Maternal Child and Family Health said, The no strings attached is key.
I wonder if a male, Mr. Taylor, could say he's pregnant just because he has a large belly and say, hey, no strings attached, right?
You have no idea if it's a child in me or not, because sex is binary.
That's true.
That's true.
No strings, if they literally mean that.
But you have to be from one of these selected areas.
You do have to be, and we'll get to the demographics.
Quote, we are respecting the dignity and autonomy of program participants to use the funds as they see fit to improve their health and the health of their babies.
The city's infant mortality rate is 1.5 times higher than the national average, and black babies are over four times more likely to die before their first birthday than white babies.
Mr. Kersey, back to No Strings Attached.
Usually, this sort of thing is a reward for coming in for well-baby checkups or prenatal screening.
None of that's going to be required here, I guess.
They just get the money and they can do whatever they like with it.
Blow it on crack cocaine or trip to Las Vegas.
No Strings Attached.
No Strings Attached.
That's 2023.
Yep, that's where the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall sit, by the way.
That's where the Constitution was written.
The scheme is inspired by similar offerings in other states, in Manitoba and Canada.
Pregnant women can get up to $81 a month.
Well, hey, guess what, guys?
$1,000 a month is a lot more than $81!
The Abundant Birth Project pilot in San Francisco provides $1,000 monthly to mothers-to-be for a year.
However, this Philadelphia pilot program, it needs to reach its funding target of $6 million in order to begin in 2024.
Basically, Pennsylvania has its lowest fertility rate in 10 years.
In the past 20 years, the decline was most pronounced in non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, and non-Hispanic Asian Pacific Islanders.
But the birth rate among non-Hispanic white women was more stable.
There's a white pill for you.
Wait.
Wait, more stable is one thing, but it's already probably lower in Philadelphia than either of them.
The Hispanics and the Blacks probably have higher birth rates.
There might have been a decline, and they say the white rate was stable, but I bet the white rate is still lower for both the Black and Hispanic rate.
Just guessing.
And I would agree with you, but the key word there, Mr. Taylor, was it comes as fertility rates in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is a very white state, outside of the horrific Philadelphia.
What's the capital of Pennsylvania?
Why am I blinking?
It starts with an H. Harrisburg?
Harrisonburg, I think.
Yeah, that's a majority black city.
I mean, again, I remember reading on Twitter a couple years ago, someone said something brilliant, white people don't breed in captivity.
And when you're in the suburbs, and when you're, you know, there's a great Mennonite population in Pennsylvania, they're thriving.
So that has something to do with the stability of the white, non-Hispanic white birthright there in Pennsylvania.
Go ahead.
You're going to say something.
But as I say, it's stable, but at a low, lower level than either the Hispanic or the black rate.
And now they're saying, they're making it sound as though there's no need to boost white birth rates.
That is... Yeah, white people are doing fine.
That's the implication.
I would 100% agree with you in the way that they positioned that.
Now, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health said that disparities in birth outcomes by race and ethnicity are large and alarming.
Of course, Robin DiAngelo would say it's just white supremacy in the womb and the nativity centers across the country.
More than 15% of babies born to non-Hispanic black women were low birth weight, 40% higher than the city's average.
Almost 15% of babies born to non-Hispanic black women were premature, roughly 30% more than the citywide average.
Now, here we go.
Remember those three areas of Philadelphia that I said were going to be open to this pilot program of $1,000 per month, no strings attached?
Let's look at the demographics.
Some 93% of Cobbs Creek's population is made up of Black people, as is 94% of Strawberry Mansions.
As of 2021, 70% of Nicetown Tioga was Black, 9% was Hispanic, and 3% was Asian.
21, 70% of Nice Town Tioga was black, 9% was Hispanic, and 3% was Asian.
Back of a napkin math that shows that 13% of Nice Town Tioga is white.
One of the most damning statistics for America is its poor record of infant and maternal
mortality.
Often considered to be a measure of a nation's overall development, America has a famously poor record when it comes to childbirth.
The U.S.
suffers 5.4 infant deaths per 1,000 births per year, the most of any of the 13 countries in this study by a large margin.
Also experienced 23.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 births, a staggeringly high figure of 10 more than any comparable countries in the developed white world.
Asian as well.
Of course, you and I know what the reasons are for that, but we're not supposed to bring them up because that would be racist.
No, no one would ever dare talk about differences in pelvic width, differences in head size, brain size, maturity rate.
No one would dare talk about biological differences.
No one would dare talk about what things are like in any African country, in Haiti.
No, the biology is completely out of the question.
So as you say, Robin DiAngelo is right.
This is all part of the white supremacist patriarchy, making sure that they have underweight babies and that they die in the first year.
Now, it will be very interesting if anybody ever pays any attention to what the outcome is in terms of the people who got the $1,000 a month and the people who didn't.
My guess is there will be basically no difference.
And it's entirely possible, once you've got an extra $1,000 a month, I mean, I don't know.
They've probably got more nachos to eat, more drugs to take.
Who knows?
Maybe the outcome will be worse for the babies.
It'll be very interesting.
But somebody, somewhere, is going to feel really good about himself, given these people $1,000, no strings attached.
Well, I wanted to move along because there's a sort of a similar thing going on here.
This program is not explicitly designed for blacks, but it is certainly implicitly designed for them because apparently you have to be in a particular neighborhood that's overwhelmingly black to get that thousand dollars a month.
Now, this is related to the fact that in California, A lawsuit has been just brought, and it depends on Proposition 209 that was passed in 1996 in California, which over 55% of the California voters approved a codification of the state constitution to bar racial preferences.
That was in 1996.
Ever since then, all the racial activists have been furious that they cannot racially discriminate against white people.
And so in 2020, as you may recall, Mr. Kersey, California got it back on the ballot.
And they thought, okay, now our woke Californians are going to let us discriminate against white
people. It didn't work. This time it was a 56 to 44 victory in 2000, I'm sorry, 1996. It was a 55
to 45 in 2020. Racial preferences failed by a slightly larger margin, 56 to 44.
But, on the basis of this, the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation announced a lawsuit to overturn the following programs, all in California.
And they sound like absolutely Brazen and blatant examples of what's going on in Philadelphia.
One is called the Abundant Birth Project, which provides unconditional cash supplements up to $1,000 to black and Pacific Islander mothers.
It's explicit about it.
It doesn't even say you have to live in a particular area.
Then there is the Guaranteed Income for Trans People.
Guess what the acronym of that is?
GIFT.
G-I-F-T.
This provides low-income transgender San Franciscans with $1,200 a month so long as they are BIPOCs.
BIPOC and Transgender.
Boy, the world wants more of you, so the world's gonna give each of those people $1,200 a month.
Then there's the Guaranteed Income Pilot for Artists.
That's called G-I-P-A.
JIPA.
I feel jippin'.
Because I'm not an artist because it has to be.
It's 190 artists of particular races and gender expressions.
And I bet you can imagine what gender expression is prioritized and what particular races you have to be or cannot be.
And then there is the Black Economic Equity Movement, which selects 300 black young adults aged 18 to 24 to receive $500 a month for one year.
So, these are, as I say, these are government programs, and they are just explicitly, brazenly discriminatory, not only against the California Constitution, but also, of course, civil rights laws, and this organization called the California Equal Rights Foundation has finally decided enough!
But what always occurs to me when there's a story about this, you find some absolutely open, shameless, discriminatory program, and then somebody says, no, no, you can't do that, and you say, okay, we won't do that.
Well, they would just stop advertising the same.
But I suspect when it comes down to selecting the people they're going to give these handouts to or whatever benefits they're giving out, they'll just make sure no white people get them.
That's all there is to it.
They'll just go underground rather than being above ground.
But the fact that people are so utterly open about discriminating against whites, it really does take your breath away.
But if every time I let my breath get taken away, I would stop breathing.
So I better stop letting my breath be taken away.
Meanwhile, on BART in San Francisco.
In the last couple of months, there have been some unpleasant incidents.
In April, 40...
I'm adding on to California here because this is San Francisco, where if you are an artist, a low-income transgender person in San Francisco, you get $1,200 a month and you can probably afford to ride the subway.
But while you're on BART, in April, 40 to 60 youths boarded a train at a stop and robbed seven passengers and beat up two of them.
In June, a group of four youths attacked a passenger and made off with a cell phone.
And just in June, about a dozen youths roughed up a woman on a train and snatched her cell phone.
But this is the interesting part.
What I've read to you so far is utterly uninteresting.
Bart has refused to turn over surveillance video for any of these incidents.
You're chuckling.
A spokesman explained why.
Oh, I know the answer.
I know the answer.
You know the answer.
And again, this is surprisingly brazen.
Open quote.
To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary.
Ah, in addition, it would create a racial bias in the riders against minorities on the trains.
So, you know, they're not even beating around the bush.
They're not even saying, well, this is a matter of privacy.
These may be juveniles.
No.
They're telling us, well, they're not saying it in so many words, they're all black, and if people see these videos, they might think unkind thoughts against blacks.
And so rather than get these people identified and arrested, we just have to protect their feelings and make sure white people don't have improper and evil thoughts.
Well, while we're in the state of California, Mr. Kersey, there's something else coming up.
California Assembly.
The public safety committee has approved a bill that would ban the use of police dogs for arrests, apprehensions, and crowd control in what would be a first-in-the-country measure.
California is the future, don't you know?
Whites are already a minority.
Anti-canines.
That's right.
The authors of the bill cited the need of the removal of police dogs due to the racial bias and violence against black Americans and people of color.
I suspect it's really black Americans.
I doubt that there's really a problem with Asians.
There's probably not much of a problem with Hispanics.
The legislation would not prevent the use of police dogs for search and rescue, explosive detections, and narcotic searches.
Aren't they considerate?
But the bill will quote and a deeply racialized traumatic and harmful practice by prohibiting the use of police dogs.
It says first used by slave catchers.
Police canines are a violent carryover from America's dark past.
In recent decades, they have been used in brutal attempts to quell the civil rights movement, the L.A.
race riots, and in response to Black Lives Matter protests.
They're never used against white people, I guess, huh?
Only, only against civil rights, civil rights virtue mongers.
Then he goes on to say, the use of police canines has severe and potential deadly consequences for bite victims, especially communities of color.
Now, I don't quite understand that.
Potentially deadly?
Has anyone ever been bitten to death by a police dog, do you know?
And potentially deadly consequences, especially for communities of color?
That seems very odd to me, too.
But this is Carlos Marquez III, Executive Director of the ACLU of California, so no one would dare ask him any unpleasant or awkward questions.
Now, here is the punchline.
It says, black people are more than two times more likely than any other group to be subjected to this use of force.
In other words, they're twice as likely to have a canine turned loose on them.
Well, and that's interesting.
Again, more likely than any other group.
So, as I suggested earlier, Asians, no problem.
Hispanics, no problem.
Maybe even American Indians, no problem.
But black people, oh my gosh, twice as likely as anybody to have a dog turned loose on them.
Mr. Kersey, you'll be very pleased.
Looks like this bill will pass.
And Gavin Newsom will probably sign it.
So it'll be first place, first state in the union, where a dog can be used to sniff drugs, but they can't be used to sniff criminals.
We'll keep an eye on this.
You know, real quick, back in 2009, I remember reading a story about like the three things white people were most fearful of.
It was, I want to say it was cancer and, you know, death of a family member and something else.
And for blacks, I'm not making this up, it was ghosts, dogs, and registered mail.
There's your chuckle for the day.
Yes, that does not sound like a government-funded research project.
Oh dear.
Well, tell me about Amazon delivery.
Apparently a black Amazon.
Yes.
This is from Bloomberg.
Sorry as I'm still laughing about that story.
Give me a second as I go down.
This was actually hidden behind a paywall.
I luckily found it because it ran on another site.
This is one that I encourage all of our listeners to go out and read for themselves.
It was at Bloomberg, and the title is, Amazon Delivery Firms Say Racial Bias Skews Customer Reviews.
And the deck was, time and again, they say drivers of color get worse feedback than their white counterparts.
Their ratings help determine pay and employment.
It's a long story that profiles a number of individuals who work for the company.
I'll read some of the choice lines from it.
When an Amazon.com Delivery driver drops off a package at someone's house, the customers can give them a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
Feedback the company uses to help determine how much to pay the driver's employer and whether to keep their job.
Again, they're independent contractors that Amazon works with Mr. Taylor.
So they don't have to pay a W-2 wage.
It's all $10.99, so they're not responsible for any of the health care or 401k benefits.
It's just a simple way for the gig economy to be perpetuated.
And as an Amazon shareholder, hey, I'm okay with that.
Anyways, in doing so, Amazon is trusting the customer to provide an honest rating.
But what if the person is biased against the driver?
That possibility is a matter of growing concern for Amazon delivery contractors who employ black, Latino, and Asian drivers.
Time and again, they say, their employees of color get worse customer feedback.
Gasp!
I mean, read that again.
Go ahead, go ahead.
No, no, no, go ahead, read it again.
Time and again, they say, their employees of color get worse customer feedback than their white counterparts.
Because... See, see, that's...
Always they are lumping in every non-white group with blacks.
And we'll see if there are any breakouts on that.
But my suspicion, the real problem is blacks.
Maybe to some degree Hispanics.
And I bet Asians probably don't get many complaints at all.
But...
Carry on.
Yeah, I shall carry on my wayward son, and to quote Kansas, because the phenomenon affects some of their most productive employees, the delivery firm owners suspect racial biases to blame.
Their most productive owners?
That means a guy who really rushes around and dumps off a whole lot of packages, probably throws them to the back of the truck.
I don't know.
I don't know what that means.
I'll say this.
In an age, Mr. Taylor, when everybody in very nice neighborhoods have ring doorbells, many people have ring devices on their side of their homes.
You can see when someone shows up.
You can record it.
And I can tell you at my abode, when someone shows up with a package and the standard operating procedure now is they put the package down, they take a picture of it, and then they send that picture to you.
To confirm the delivery.
This is something that UPS, this is something that FedEx, and this is something that Amazon all employs.
Because they understand that if you complain, that's going to be their job, and that's going to impact the way that they are rated.
So I've never had any problem with anybody dropping off packages.
Sometimes a package has been molested during the transportation process, but that's not the delivery guy's fault.
That's just the way that it was packaged, and unfortunately just didn't have somebody take care of it.
Well, anyway, please continue.
I should stop interrupting.
Yeah, no, it's okay.
The delivery contractors say they've raised the concern to multiple Amazon managers.
The topic has been discussed on Ignite, an online forum Amazon set up for delivery contractors to swap advice and discuss challenges.
Amazon personnel monitor the forum and sometimes participate, but never engage in conversations about possible racial bias.
Nor has the company taken steps to address the issue.
Eight current and former Amazon delivery contractors operating in L.A., Seattle, Georgia, Northern California, and the Northeast all describe the same pattern.
Lower ratings for drivers of color, especially deployed to neighborhoods where their race or ethnicity stand out.
The contractor's suspicions dovetail with decades of academic research documenting how racial, gender, and age bias all influence customer impressions of service workers, from waiters to taxi drivers.
Companies have been accused for years of doing too little to prevent bias from affecting customer feedback, but are harvesting more of this kind of data all the time.
Or to channel Norm Macdonald, the late comedian Mr. Taylor, perhaps people of color who are performing these services just don't do the same type of job that collectively white people do.
Thus, the feedback they receive.
Well, I'd really like to know what's going on.
This of course implies that you get a package delivered by a black guy or by a white guy
and you get exactly the same service but you give the black guy a thumbs down and the white
guy a thumbs up.
I wonder how often that ever happens.
I suspect that it doesn't happen very often.
And my suspicion of course is that the demeanor and the behavior of people does differ from
one race to another.
But what's going to happen is, let's assume that I'm right, that the delivery behavior,
accuracy, the way they handle the packages is different from one race to another.
They're just going to stop using ratings for any purpose at all, if it turns out that blacks in particular get lower ratings than whites.
They're just going to stop using.
It's like eliminating standards of all kinds, just so long as certain pet groups don't live up to those standards.
That's my guess as to what's going on, but maybe I'm wrong.
Would you think there are a lot of people out there who are going to just give a thumbs down to a black delivery guy because he's black?
No, I think what people want is if you're a Prime member, you want to ensure that your delivery is going to be in a day or two days or less.
Or if you're an Amazon Fresh member, you want to know that your stuff is being delivered as it's expected.
Of course.
It's really that simple.
Yeah, but if somebody throws your package at the door and it goes kabang or something like that, you're not going to like that.
No, that's a thumbs down.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, everything is our fault.
And here's the sad, really big quote from the story.
Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti didn't deny that racial bias is affecting driver-customer reviews, but said the company hasn't ignored the issue.
Quote, we take any such concern seriously and investigate every credible complaint, review all available information, then take an appropriate action based on the facts available to us.
But what it says, she knows that bias affects their views.
How does she know that?
Exactly.
That's what's so gross about this because it's as if, yes, okay, if blacks are lower rated, if people of color are lower rated, obviously implicit bias must be the reason for such a disparity.
Well, maybe explicit bias.
Now, the other thing, the one thing that I thought was interesting is this article claims that black people, let's talk about black people, get lower ratings, especially if they're operating in non-black neighborhoods.
Whereas, apparently, the same black guy doing the same deliveries the same way in a black neighborhood would not get bad ratings.
I mean, if that's true, I mean, that might suggest something.
But, I mean, just, it's annoying.
If black people are more likely to be in jail, well, then white police are.
It's their fault.
Just the same old stupid reasoning over and over again.
I'm just deeply skeptical of all this stuff.
Not only am I deeply skeptical real quick, but I'd like to point out that this whole delivery service partnership program was initiated in 2018 basically as a way for Amazon to outsource and not have to worry about paying people, again, a W-2.
It's all 1099 because it's entrepreneurs.
And I would think, Mr. Taylor, that you would want to give, if you're an entrepreneur running your own business that's partnered with Amazon, The largest e-commerce site on the planet, you would want to do a really good job and create a relationship, especially if you're an Amazon user.
You're probably going to buy a lot of packages from Amazon.
It's not like a one-off.
If you're a Prime member, you're buying a lot of stuff.
And I think you'd want to create a relationship to try and get the best ratings.
So it would behoove you as an entrepreneur to get the best ratings possible.
Regardless of race, color, creed, sexual orientation.
So again, this is one of those stories that's so silly.
But again, we live in a world where Robin DiAngelo's worldview and view have won out as opposed to Jared Taylor's.
I'm not out yet.
No, you're not.
You're not.
You're not.
Meanwhile, meanwhile, let's hop the pond to Britain.
Uh-oh.
Britain appears to be making progress of some kind, Mr. Kersey.
You sort of made an uh-oh sound there.
But one of my favorite Brits, Suella Braverman of Indian origin, she's really a tough gal.
The article goes on to say, European judges are close to climbing down over the government's Rwanda scheme after Suella Braverman.
Bravo Sveta Bravman hailed encouraging and constructive high-level talks to lift their block.
This is the European judges' block on deportation plates.
Just to review very briefly, these illegals who are swarming into England, coming across on rubber boats from the Channel.
I still don't understand why they can't just haul them all back to France, but in any case, they show up.
And the Brits have got this deal with Rwanda.
They're going to send them to Rwanda.
But the European judges are saying no, no, no, no.
But speaking on a two-day visit to Rwanda, the Home Secretary accused her labor critics of snobbery and said removal to Rwanda would be a blessing for these migrants.
She said she was encouraged by Her Majesty's or His Majesty's government's constructive initial talks with Strasbourg.
That's where these European community judges are.
To reform court injunctions that prevented the first deportations flights from leaving to Rwanda.
Ministers want to start flights to Rwanda by the summer to pave the way for thousands of migrants detained and removed to claim asylum in the East African state.
It is understood the government has already had talks with the Strasbourg people and the ministers will consider doing so.
They'll consider starting the flights even if the Strasbourg Appeals Court says they can't do it.
They're going to defy the court, possibly.
But she says, she told reporters, this is Mrs. Brotherman, that Rwanda offers a beacon of hope.
I would call it a blessing, she said.
I've met refugees from several countries here, this is in Rwanda, who are enormously grateful for the sanctuary Rwanda has provided.
Education opportunities, security, a home, opportunity in the future.
Gosh, Mr. Kersey, I think I'll go.
Being resettled in Rwanda will provide these vulnerable people with a prosperous future.
Wow.
Now, she challenged her critics to visit Rwanda, claiming that they want to scrap the plan without ever having visited the country.
Visited the country?
Well, you know, come to think of it, Mr. Kersey, Rwanda.
What's that rhyme with?
That rhymes with This may be really the happy ending.
And she says, and I regret the snobbery and the unjustified negativity that critics throw at our partnership with Rwanda.
They're a welcoming country, a warm people, and they are a genuine beacon of hope for people seeking refuge.
Paul Kagame, the president of Rwanda, he's been president for a long time, told Mrs. Braverman that his country will, quote, always have capacity for more refugees.
Wow.
If that's true, he's going to get filled up with Africans.
During her trip, Ms.
Braverman attended a groundbreaking ceremony to lay the first brick of a 528-home project in the capital, Kigali.
And here is the most important line, which is being funded through a 140 million pound grant to Rwanda.
So this is what's in it for Rwanda.
They got all these infrastructure projects, or at least housing, paid for by the British taxpayer that'd be filled up with people who'd come flying in from Britain who were illegal immigrants.
She also, this is Mrs. Braverman, visited a similar 2,500 unit building in Kigali on Saturday.
So, the Brits are going to pay for all this.
Now, this is all so perplexing to me, frankly.
Again, I don't understand why the Brits can't just shove the boats back to France, or wherever it is they come from.
That's what I would do.
Or, you know, I'd be tempted to have a little needle in my hand, too, but we won't talk about that.
And, but so they show up.
And apparently they've got a deal with Rwanda.
They pay Rwandans to house these people.
And Rwanda says, yeah, come on, come on.
But the court of, the European court of something in Strasbourg says they can't do it.
And so they're dickering with the court.
What a crazy, utterly impossible situation for a country to find itself in.
These people show up, utterly unwanted, utterly uninvited, utterly illegally, and they're stuck with them.
And they're going to such extents as to try to ship them off to Rwanda?
Who would have ever thought of that?
But, as I say, Sewilla Braverman is doing her best.
And this Rishi Sunak, her Indian boss, he talks pretty tough about immigration too.
He talks far tougher than most indigenous white Britons.
I mean, as somebody who is descended primarily from the Anglo-Saxons, it is astonishing to think about what the world looked like in 1923 as opposed to what it looks like in 2023 when, you know, Anyways, no need to talk about Stoddard's book.
What was it?
Well, I think you could go back a little further.
In 1914, the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Grey, I believe his name was, he said when they decided to send British soldiers across the Channel to fight against the Germans, the lights are going out all over Europe and they will not come on during our lifetime.
Well, they still haven't come back on, Mr. Kersey.
They still haven't come back on.
The lights are still off.
Well, here is a story about short tempers in the big city.
Arturo Cuevas, age 30, and his companion, 27-year-old Daisy Barrera.
They had an ongoing parking dispute with a neighbor, who remains unnamed, in Queens.
And they decided to attack him when they spotted him on the street.
They hit him repeatedly with a bat and stabbed him five times all over his body in this broad daylight attack.
This appears to have been an absolutely cold-blooded attack over a parking dispute.
At Arturo Cuevas, he confessed to cops.
He said he punched, kicked, stabbed, slashed with a knife, and hit with a baseball bat The victim, and then he brought the weapons back home to his house.
Now this is the intriguing part.
I mean, it is a really rather radical way to deal with a discussion over parking.
And it's particularly radical, it seems to me, because this guy was just unsuspectingly walking around.
This wasn't in the heat of an argument.
They'd got a knife and a baseball bat, and he and the girlfriend, they come out, and they nearly killed this guy.
They sent him to the hospital.
He's unconscious.
He's had brain surgery.
There's a horrible video of it, too, that I wish I hadn't seen.
Really quite brutal.
Blood all over the sidewalk.
In any case, this part of it is intriguing.
Cuevas, the 30-year-old guy, He was previously charged with assault and harassment for pulling a 27-year-old man out of a car and punching him repeatedly in the face with brass knuckles in April of just last year.
Brass knuckles!
You can do an awful lot of damage with brass knuckles.
We don't know what happened to that charge.
April 11th, just a week later, the same year, he struck a 41-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman in the face for unknown reasons.
Ugh.
Again, charge of assault and harassment.
And he's still walking around.
I just don't understand it.
The reports on this say they don't know what happened to those cases, but the police say that the guy was arrested for those things.
Hitting somebody repeatedly in the face with brass knuckles and beating up a 41-year-old man and 46-year-old woman for unknown reasons.
Now, my question for you and for our listeners.
I'm assuming that the fact that this guy is still walking around is due to the activities of Alvin Bragg.
The DA of New York, New York City, who is the one who would indict Trump.
I'm assuming it's the same guy.
He has far bigger fish to fry than someone who's actually preying on the country, as opposed to somebody who allegedly preyed upon a former Former adult porn star.
You know, it's also interesting, since Eric Adams took over the city of New York, Mr. Taylor, the New York Police Department has yet to release their Crime and Enforcement Activity Report, which is the most comprehensive breakdown of victim and suspect for every crime in the city.
It's very interesting.
Oh, oh, it's fascinating.
I've referred to it many times, done several videos about that.
Yes, you have.
Very detailed, very detailed.
Not only do they cite the crime statistics, they cite the population statistics.
They do the calculations for you.
So you can tell immediately how much more likely a black person or a Hispanic is compared to a white to commit a shooting or a robbery or a rape.
It's all calculated for you.
Thank you, NYPD.
Well, I suspect it's all been suppressed.
No, I can't have that stuff getting out.
Here's a wonderful headline.
A wonderful headline.
And it is from a site I confess I do not frequent.
It's called AFRU.com.
A-F-R-U.com.
And the headline is, AFRU, is coffee racist?
How drinking coffee perpetuates white supremacy.
Now you might think that this is an onion headline, but it's not.
And the subhead is created by black people for black people and now a pillar of white supremacist capitalism.
If you consume coffee, you are helping an industry built on racism.
If you're a person of color, you know what I'm talking about.
You walk into a new coffee shop and your senses are overwhelmed with whiteness and you get the glare from the Karens.
I'm sure it happens every time he walks into a coffee shop.
I'm here to validate your lived experience.
Coffee is in fact horribly racist.
From the moment the whites viciously stole coffee from black and brown people to the present-day Karen sipping her morning cup of white supremacy, whites have been able to drink the fruits of our labor and our culture with impunity.
It's only recently that historians have begun to recognize the achievements of black people, from building the pyramids to composing classical symphonies.
Gosh, we was Kangs, we was Beethoven, we was baristas, honky!
And it's well known that whites would be eating bland food like bread and gruel if it weren't for their theft of culinary secrets from people of color, especially black folks.
Starbucks.
The original Starbucks, yes.
It's a well-known fact that whites would be eating bland food like bread and gruel if
it weren't for their theft of culinary secrets from people of color, especially black folks.
Did you know that?
I do now.
You do now.
That's precisely why, when the whites found out about coffee, it became one of the reasons they decided to victimize an appropriate black civilization wholesale.
We appropriated black civilization wholesale.
I guess those are the symphonies, you know?
Everything that's great about the Western world, that was black civilization.
We stole it and they lost it, so they don't have it and we do.
This is a story I've heard before in these cuckoo black websites.
After Dutch spies stole coffee from Africa, Europeans forced black and indigenous people into slavery to grow it on colonized lands.
You ever heard about Indians growing coffee as slaves?
Well, that's what we did.
Indigenous people growing coffee.
I've never heard of black people, black slaves in the United States growing coffee, but that's apparently what we did.
No, I have not either.
Unfortunately, now this is where it just gets just Incredibly parodic, if there is such a word.
Probably not.
But, unfortunately, coffee is not the only racist drink on the market.
Milk also became racist after white supremacists began using the white drink as a symbol of their white skin.
So, if both milk and coffee are racist, what can be done?
That is the burning question on the lips of Americans coast to coast.
And this author goes on to say, Did you know that?
insist that combining the two drinks actually cancels out the racism because it represents
the white becoming pregnant with blackness and creating a delicious brown result. Did you know
that? That's what it symbolizes. The white becomes pregnant.
Mmm, with the black and the delicious brown result.
And that's why anti-racist folks often take milk in their coffee as subconscious purifying ritual.
Did you know that?
Boy, this guy's got white people all figured out.
Well, you know, it does remind me of Malcolm X. He used to say the only thing he liked integrated was coffee.
You know, it's funny.
I almost sent this story over because over at Instapundit, I saw this and they have this amazing article, Mr. Taylor, where there's a thread of 28 items that the national press has deemed racist.
And what I find so important about where we are right now, it's normal conservative sites are now realizing how insane things are.
I don't know if they do.
I truly, this is the thing, I know I'm sounding like this is a white pill, but I truly believe, I don't know if we're going to get to a lot of the stories we have, we'll say until next week, but when people are starting to laugh and you think about the person who was doxxed and just her life was seemingly destroyed, the libs of TikTok girl.
She's a white Jewish female.
She's even gone crazier in terms of, and in a good way, in doubling down to expose all this stuff.
Her largest tweets are no longer the transgendered stuff, Mr. Taylor.
It's the anti-white stuff.
And I think the most important infusion into the body politic that's happened since Trump came down the escalator is people are now using the term anti-white.
And they're understanding what that means.
And it's low-hanging fruit for a politician to jump on this.
Who's going to be the first one to do it?
We'll see.
We'll see.
It's about time.
I just want to finish off with the conclusion of this story.
This author at Afru.com says, I know this will hurt, but a proper commitment to doing anti-racist direct action requires that we give up coffee altogether.
Anti-racist direct action.
Boy, I mean, that'll change the world, won't it?
Stop drinking coffee.
You know, the fact is, coffee was first drunk in Yemen, apparently, where the plants grow wild.
And, you know, I thought about this.
I thought, you know, this has to be satire.
So I poked around in afru.com.
It's not satire.
There's another article on the site.
It's called, The White Girl Guide to Allyship.
And these are the first sentences.
I didn't get past these two sentences.
I have received almost as many requests for advice on how to be a good ally to black folks as I know white folks.
And frankly, being seen as an emotional support animal or some kind of snack machine for white validation is as denigrating as it is exhausting.
A emotional support animal.
I guess that's like being a psychological pack animal.
In any case, these are the days in which we live, ladies and gentlemen.
And as so often, in fact, as always happens, our time runneth out, despite the fact that our cup full of good stories runneth over.
So we're going to have to call it quits, Mr. Kersey.
But let's very, very quickly explain to our readers how to get in touch with us.
