Jared Taylor and co-host Paul Kersey laugh at yet more newly discovered forms of white wickedness. They also discuss the “journey” to $5 million, the return of SROs, bigoted college speakers, and the dismal figures for the murder of black children.

| Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance. | |
| I'm your host, Jared Taylor, with American Renaissance. | |
| And today is March the 30th, Year of Our Lord 2023. | |
| And with me, of course, is my indispensable co-host, Paul Kersey. | |
| And we'd like to start with a few comments from listeners. | |
| And I'll begin with someone who writes, the group that kvetches the most about systemic racism is white. | |
| Our system, our expectations, our view of right and wrong, our instinctive desire to build rather than destroy, are all markers of a society structured around certain behaviors, attitudes, and capabilities that are not found equally in all races. | |
| The Africans among us will not thrive. | |
| The only way to resolve systemic racism is to embrace crime, reject art, reject science, reject education, reject all aspects of the culture of our fathers, and adopt instead the systems we see in Rwanda, Nigeria, and Somalia. | |
| Harsh talk, Mr. Kersey, but what do you think? | |
| I think he's on to something. | |
| You know, it's becoming increasingly clear that some sort of National divorce has to happen or else this racial totem pole is only going to get heavier and heavier with whites at the bottom and the resentment's only going to grow as the demographics shift and that disparity exists everywhere. | |
| The problem, I do not believe, can be resolved under liberalism. | |
| It is not possible. | |
| Here is another comment. | |
| I enjoy Radio Renaissance and I tune in every week and I have a suggestion. | |
| Mr. Taylor has a habit of quoting foul-mouthed people verbatim. | |
| I believe this detracts from the seriousness and lowers the tone of the podcast. | |
| Please consider using euphemisms. | |
| Well, yes, I do quote foul-mouthed people verbatim, and I do it deliberately to showcase just how vulgar they are. | |
| I, having reflected on the suggestion, I think perhaps our listener is correct, and I should not befoul the program just because there are so many foul-mouthed people out there. | |
| What do you think, Mr. Kersey? | |
| Should I curb my tongue? | |
| You know, I don't think there's a need to use an epithet, a pejorative. | |
| I think that can be used in our age where people will be like, oh, Mr. Taylor, he used the N-word. | |
| We have the proof of it. | |
| And they just, you know, out of context. | |
| As a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, that's one word I never use. | |
| I bow to that regulation. | |
| I think it's artificial and crazy and humiliating in a way, but I never use the N-word. | |
| I use obscene remarks instead of saying a thing. | |
| Uh, and the S word, et cetera, et cetera. | |
| But I think, uh, although it does sound a little bit schoolmarmish to talk about the effing this and the effing that, but I believe I should probably follow the suggestion of this listener. | |
| At least I will endeavor so to do. | |
| And you know the reason why we're going to do that is because we're a family show, and we do believe that we're PG. | |
| And even for a G audience, we would want the families to gather around like they used to when you'd listen to The Shadow on your radio back in the 1920s and 30s, or Orson Welles' Do War of the Worlds. | |
| We want families to gather together. | |
| So we're a family-friendly show. | |
| There you go. | |
| We are certainly friendly to families, unfortunately. | |
| Some of the items that we must cover are not very family friendly. | |
| However, I have some interesting news. | |
| Apparently, Asian Americans are turning Republican. | |
| They are shifting right as their political support for Republicans surged from 23% to 40%. | |
| This happened since 2018. | |
| to 40 percent. This happened since 2018. 23 percent to 40 percent. And voters are making this choice | |
| based on such things as crime and failed education equity programs. | |
| And they're blaming these things on progressive lawmakers. | |
| Asian Americans in San Francisco say these high progressive Democrats, they have empowered some of the sentiment that has led to a slew of anti-Asian hate crimes in recent years. | |
| Partly, of course, that's to do with just letting people out of jail no matter what they do. | |
| In 2018, Asian Americans voted Democrats at a rate of 77%, Republicans 23%, but by 2022, those numbers had changed. | |
| As I said before, there's still a 58% Democrat, but 40% Republican. | |
| In New York and Virginia, Asian voters were unhappy with proposals to change rules for | |
| magna high schools and to eliminate honors tracking in ordinary schools. | |
| Yes, they are always going to be hit by these diversity programs, just like white people, | |
| but Asians have the guts and the gumption to complain about it. | |
| Asians were also active in the recall campaign against former San Francisco District Attorney | |
| Chesa Budden, who should never have been in that job, but probably without Asians, | |
| he'd still be there. | |
| Says a spokesman who surveys the political scene, and he is a democratic theorist, he | |
| says, we should all pay attention that San Francisco, the most liberal place in America, | |
| is saying enough. | |
| We want safe streets. | |
| We want good schools. | |
| That should tell anyone, pay attention. | |
| Now, are the Democrats paying attention? | |
| I suspect most of them are not. | |
| And here's a cheery little news story from Fox. | |
| It's about reparations. | |
| And Mr. Kersey, you and I have talked about this utterly hilarious idea that San Francisco is supposed to pay every black resident $5 million to compensate them for slavery that never happened in their state. | |
| Well, we won't go into the details on that, at least not the kind of slavery that we are most supposed to be talking about. | |
| The committee was put together to come up with this figure, and its chairman, Eric McDonald, said that that $5 million figure, it came as the result of a journey. | |
| Now, Mr. Kersey, I've often said to you, whenever I hear people talking about a journey, I head for the door. | |
| These are feminists, anti-racists. | |
| They're all on a journey. | |
| They're all on a journey. | |
| Yeah, Mr. Taylor, the only Journey I like is a band that Steve Perry was once the frontrunner for. | |
| But that's probably a band. | |
| You don't even know who they are. | |
| Nope. | |
| I don't know about a band called The Journey. | |
| Well, don't stop believing. | |
| Anyways. | |
| I know. | |
| McDonald's says, this wasn't a math formula. | |
| It was a journey for the committee towards what could represent a significant enough investment in families to put them on this path to economic well-being, growth, and vitality that chattel slavery and all the policies that flowed from it destroyed. | |
| Well, what that means, of course, is if there'd never been any slavery, never been any Jim Crow, I guess every black man, woman, and child in America would be worth $5 million. | |
| Isn't that what this guy's saying? | |
| Good luck, fellas! | |
| The median household income for white people, I think, is about $180,000. | |
| But a family of four, a black family of four, would be worth $20 cool million American dollars. | |
| Now, I must say, at this Fox News story, the comments were full of mockery at the idea that San Francisco was going to rain money down on the black population. | |
| There was one that struck me. | |
| And perhaps it's in slightly bad taste, but I will quote it nonetheless. | |
| I don't know how they'll pay for it, but if it causes every black person in America to move to San Francisco, I'm OK with it. | |
| Oh, dear me. | |
| Oh, dear me. | |
| That must have been the creator of Dilbert who wrote that. | |
| OK, a couple of a couple of short items, and then I want to hear from you about the military. | |
| But more standards are tumbling this time in Connecticut. | |
| A bill that would stop police from pulling over drivers for some equipment violations made progress on Monday. | |
| It passed through a House committee on a nearly party-line vote. | |
| Now, Mr. Kersey, I'm sure that you, like all of our listeners, perhaps with a few exceptions living in Estonia or Zambia who don't know our system, know very well which side voted for this and which side did not. | |
| But following a recommendation for the Police Transparency and Accountability Task Force, you know, that's another name that you just need to head to the door when you hear something like the Police Transparency and Accountability Task Force. | |
| Oh, these are going to be all loonies. | |
| It said black drivers are almost twice as likely to be stopped for equipment violations as white drivers. | |
| So, this would be a bill that would make window tints, burnt out taillights and license plate lights, expired license and registration, and other equipment bills, other equipment problems as violations for which the police could not justify stopping a drive. | |
| Well, as we all know, as anyone with an IQ of a fried egg knows, when you stop drivers who have these violations, they are often precisely the people you don't want on the road for a whole host of other reasons. | |
| And I believe, well, I'm sure I've told this story before on this podcast, and I will bore our veteran listeners by telling it again, but the last time I was stopped for speeding, the first thing the officer said was, do you know why I stopped you? | |
| And I said, well, yeah, I guess I was going too fast. | |
| And we got to chatting after he'd written me up his ticket and I asked him, why did you ask me that question? | |
| And he said, you'd be amazed at the things people confess to when you stop them. | |
| They'll say, oh gosh, I guess, I guess that I was on, I must've been on the video of that bank I robbed or something like that. | |
| So it's very good to stop these people. | |
| And many, many crimes are solved because of these pretextual stops. | |
| All right, Mr. Kersey, one more story and then it's all yours. | |
| A Queens man suspected of etching swastikas on the streets over half a dozen times, including outside a synagogue and a police precinct house. | |
| That seems like a dangerous place to go scratching things. | |
| But in any case, outside of a precinct house was busted on hate crime charges. | |
| A tip led to his arrest. | |
| He vandalized at night and during the day, police said. | |
| He is Antoine Blunt of Forest Hills, and he appears to be yet another agent of white supremacy. | |
| You know, these white Nazis are so smart, they trick black people into scratching swastikas for them. | |
| You know, it is pretty doggone impressive. | |
| Another agent of white supremacy has been unmasked. | |
| So, Mr. Kersey, tell me, tell me the news about the military. | |
| Wish you didn't have to. | |
| As you can see, our military had been mobilized on the border, and that we were seeing posse comitatus enacted, so that these Soros DAs were rounded up, but unfortunately it's the exact opposite. | |
| One of my favorite individuals on Twitter is a gentleman by the name of Jesse Kelly. | |
| He's a conservative radio show host. | |
| He completely understands the left, and I know you won't agree with what I'm about to say, but he has a book coming out where he Aligns the left with communists, and I know you differ with that, but I think it is an effective tool. | |
| Well, he came out, a conservative commentator and frequent Fox News guest, Mr. Jesse Kelly. | |
| He was a Marine, by the way. | |
| He has called for white people to seriously consider abandoning the U.S. | |
| military over its woke priorities. | |
| Quote, getting to the point where white people should seriously consider walking away from the military and just letting it implode on itself. | |
| If you want to serve, go run for sheriff and prepare your community for the times to come, he tweeted last Wednesday. | |
| Now the controversial tweet, I don't think it's controversial, I think it's very sane and logical, but this news story said, controversial tweet linked to a story about the military's forever expanding woke agenda, particularly its focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. | |
| What he was tweeting about was a piece that was published by Fox News about how last month the U.S. | |
| Air Force went on a hiring spree to recruit a handful of senior-level diversity, equity, and inclusion managers. | |
| I have no idea what that has to do with the F-22 or F-16, but... Oh, they fly better. | |
| They fly better when one-legged lesbian Nigerians are flying them. | |
| You know that. | |
| Come on. | |
| You know what, you took the words right out of my mouth. | |
| To place and post across the country, the positions reportedly pay between $82,000 to $180,000 per year, depending upon the specific position and location. | |
| Diversity don't come cheap, clearly. | |
| Diversity don't come cheap, but that's one of those stories where our Russian and Chinese friends, when they're meeting right now, their generals, their top-rated Air Force generals, they're laughing, getting a good chortle out of this type of story. | |
| But it's this story that I'm sure they're truly laughing about. | |
| This is from the Air Force Times. | |
| This is by a piece by Colonel Ben Johnson. | |
| He's an active deputy Air Force officer. | |
| The views expressed are the personal views of the author and do not represent the official views of the Air Force, DOD, or Air Force Times. | |
| However, they still published this piece. | |
| And the headline was, Dear White Colonel, We Must Address Our Blind Spots Around Race. | |
| Now, the colonel that wrote this piece, he is a Caucasian. | |
| I'm sure he was willingly one who took a knee, though, Mr. Taylor, back in June of 2020 when the George Floyd madness started. | |
| And it sounds like he is psychologically taking a knee ever since. | |
| I think I think he's acquiesced, capitulated and surrendered whatever shred of dignity he had to the die. | |
| The D.I., you know. | |
| Mindset. | |
| Here's what he wrote. | |
| I'm not gonna read the whole thing. | |
| I encourage our listeners to go track it down again It's dear white colonel. | |
| We must address our blind spots around race. | |
| It was published in the mid of March 2023 at the Air Force Times Quote as white colonels you and I are the biggest barriers to change if we do not personally address racial injustice in our Air Force Like white right then and there it's like why don't you resign pal? | |
| Yeah, if you're a problem, clear out. | |
| Why are you a colonel? | |
| Why don't you go ahead and give up that pension and give your rank to a more deserving person of color? | |
| Now defensiveness is a predictable response by white people to any suggestion, to any discussion of racial injustice. | |
| White colonels are no exception. | |
| We are largely blind to institutional racism and we take offense to any suggestion that our system advantaged us at the expense of others. | |
| I can tell you that even back in The mid-2000s, like 2004, 2005, this type of thinking was going on in the Air Force. | |
| There were already people who said that the Air Force officer corps was too white. | |
| Oh, 2004, 2005? | |
| They've been jabbering like this since the 1990s, 1980s. | |
| Good grief. | |
| Well, having been involved and having dealt with all this, I was, I was mortified. | |
| I'm like, well, we'll play the same. | |
| Don't we want the best people regardless? | |
| No. | |
| No, you're right. | |
| That I address this letter to white colonels made many of you uneasy, and we have similar white defensiveness play out in many of our conversations since the murder of George Floyd. | |
| And in meeting with other white colonels, I drew attention to the reality that racial tension remains an important issue to address. | |
| This guy sounds like the most insufferable prick imaginable. | |
| I dealt with some people when I was in the Air Force ROTC, and I can imagine some of these guys are actually about colonels at this point. | |
| I can't even tell you just the smugness that comes out when you read this article. | |
| It's the kind of person you're like, whose side is this guy fighting on? | |
| Two white colonels responded by joking about the burndown restaurant. | |
| My introduction of race into the conversation created social discomfort, which they tried to ameliorate with humor. | |
| A white colonel then brought up his concern with the way a black officer on the base portrayed the problem of racial injustice. | |
| Rather than considering the issue, we took a detour to question the methods and message of the black officer. | |
| A white colonel worried that a wing-level discussion about the disproportionate rate of Article 15s given to black airmen would have a chilling effect on holding minorities accountable and would degrade good order and discipline. | |
| He deflected meaningful discussion of racial injustice in the Air Force by summarily stating that such discussion damaged the foundation of military discipline. | |
| Well, you and I know that a very strange thing happened at the Air Force Academy Prep School where a black student wrote racial things on his door. | |
| It was blamed on the entire, you know, white student body. | |
| And then the colonel who was overseeing all this, I think he got an ADL award, even though it was a race hoax. | |
| Could have been. | |
| Could have been. | |
| That sounds like the ADL to me. | |
| Of course, you know what an Article 15 is. | |
| I'll let you go ahead and explain it. | |
| Okay. | |
| That is a discharge. | |
| That is a court martial. | |
| And what they are clearly talking about is the high rate with which blacks in particular, and perhaps other non-whites, get these discharges. | |
| And one guy is saying, oh, we've got to go easy on that. | |
| And then the other guy is saying, if you go easy on that, then there will be no discipline in the army. | |
| And so this other guy is saying, well, if they get more Article 15s, it's because of systemic racism. | |
| You fool. | |
| I imagine that's how the conversation went. | |
| Well, that's exactly how the conversation goes. | |
| I'll read this and we'll be done. | |
| This is the type of article where you realize why we need a national divorce when you have a white colonel who's basically saying discipline doesn't matter if it is in, if it, if it, if it, um, inconveniences blacks at a disproportionate rate is basically what he's saying. | |
| A white colonel raised his disagreement with a black senior enlisted leader story of being | |
| offered an article 15 for his boisterous singing personality when he was an airman. | |
| When the black enlisted leader told the story, he was the only black person in the room, | |
| the only person with firsthand experience on the receiving end of unbalanced article | |
| 15s. | |
| By later discrediting the story, the colonel, the white colonel ended further examination | |
| of the role of cultural difference on discipline decisions by supervisors. | |
| Again, let's just stop with this article here and think about what that colonel just said. | |
| There should be, we should examine the role of cultural difference on discipline decision by supervisors. | |
| That means a racial lens must be placed on, on the way that individuals are acting based on cultural racial differences. | |
| Well, can you really be thrown out of the Air Force for boisterous singing? | |
| It seems to me you'd have to be doing your boisterous singing in a particularly inappropriate place for that to be the subject of disciplinary procedure. | |
| But, who knows? | |
| I wasn't there. | |
| What do you think the odds were he was singing Zippity-Doo-Dah Zippity-Day? | |
| Very low. | |
| Very low. | |
| Yep, there you go. | |
| White colonels are a problem, so yes, let's get rid of them all. | |
| Replace them with every other kind under the sun. | |
| If I could just say one last thing about these two stories, this is an example of the type of individual, Mr. Taylor, that is being promoted to Brigadier General or to the highest levels of the officer corps. | |
| This is the mindset that gets you promoted. | |
| Yes, on the subject of the military, the great and good Gregory Hood at the Amaranth site has a wonderful feature article called An Army of None. | |
| I thought that was a brilliant takeoff on that old recruiting slogan that the army used to have, an army of one. | |
| Well, it's an army of none because it goes into why the armed services have such a terrible time recruiting people. | |
| A lot of them are just too fat. | |
| They're on drugs. | |
| They've got psychological problems. | |
| They can't pass the entrance examination to get to the army. | |
| That means they don't have an IQ of 85. | |
| A whole host of reasons. | |
| Their faces are covered with tattoos. | |
| Oh, it's just a miserable business. | |
| And then the people with the brains, the people with the competence, they don't want to go. | |
| White people in particular. | |
| Traditionally, white men, southern white men, have been the people who made the army go. | |
| But if you're a southern white man, the army doesn't want you anymore. | |
| Don't want real masculine patriotic types. | |
| Oh, no, no, no, no. | |
| Can't have that. | |
| So, they can't fill their ranks. | |
| And, on balance, I'm not too unhappy about it, Mr. Kersey. | |
| I, I, I, I'm not, I'm not, uh, I'm losing, I'm not losing a day of sleep over that. | |
| Nope. | |
| Nope. | |
| You know, the Navy used to call itself a global force for good. | |
| Wow. | |
| A global force for good. | |
| I'm sure that's what they think they are as they sail into the sunset. | |
| Now, uh, Mr. Kersey, I learned about yet another form of vicious racism that has been unmasked. | |
| Were you aware of digital blackface? | |
| You probably were, because you're aware of just about everything. | |
| Was this the article from the Atlantic, or I can't remember where I saw this. | |
| It was quite funny. | |
| No? | |
| No, this is from CNN. | |
| Oh, even better. | |
| Okay. | |
| Oh, CNN. | |
| Oh, boy. | |
| They've got the lowdown on digital blackface, and they will tell us all about it. | |
| I mean, how could we ever get along without CNN to tell us how bad we are in ways we didn't even know? | |
| All the bad things we do in places we wouldn't even think of looking. | |
| Well, digital blackface, ladies and gentlemen, and Mr. Kersey, is a practice where white people co-opt online expressions of black imagery, slang, catchphrases, or culture to convey comic relief or express emotions. | |
| I guess it's like these memes or little gifs, some black person saying, you go girl, or whatever it is they're saying. | |
| Now, these expressions, what one commentator calls racialized reactions, are mainstays in Twitter feeds, TikTok videos, and Instagram reels, and are among the most popular internet memes. | |
| Well, maybe so. | |
| Digital blackface involves white people playacting at being black. | |
| Says Lauren Michelle Jackson, an author and cultural critic. | |
| She says the Internet thrives on white people laughing at exaggerated displays of blackness, reflecting a tendency among some whites to see black people as walking hyperbole. | |
| I think that's a pretty good description, frankly. | |
| I actually love exaggerated displays of blackness. | |
| That sounds like anytime we're told of the first time a black person accomplished a feat that a white person did. | |
| Score, uh, you know, uh, decades before. | |
| Well, apparently many white people choose images of black people when it comes to expressing exaggerated emotions on social media. | |
| A burden that black people didn't ask for, she said. | |
| Did white people ask to be accused of racism every waking hour? | |
| Probably not, but that won't stop her. | |
| There are a lot of burdens, uh, unfortunately, courtesy of blacks that white American never asked for. | |
| We are. | |
| We are. | |
| Our shoulders are sore. | |
| Our shoulders are tired. | |
| Time to shrug. | |
| She goes on to say, yes, we are your sass, your nonchalance, your fury, your delight, your annoyance, your happy dance, your diva, your shade, your yass moments. | |
| What is your shade? | |
| What does she mean by that? | |
| Uh, I think that's if you throw shade at someone. | |
| That's, uh, You know, that's that means you are being contemptuous. | |
| You are. | |
| Oh, you're like that. | |
| You're running somebody down. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You're throwing shade. | |
| Why are you throwing shade my way, Mr. Taylor? | |
| Oh, I'm standing in the sun getting a suntan. | |
| That's why. | |
| OK, well, no, not now. | |
| We get to the heart of the matter. | |
| Digital blackface is wrong because it's a modern day repackaging of minstrel shows. | |
| A racist form of entertainment popular in the 19th century. | |
| That's when white actors, faces darkened with burnt cork, entertained audiences by playing black characters. | |
| So, all of this evil from the 19th century continues to this present day. | |
| And it will continue for as long as there are black people in America. | |
| I'm sure they will never let us forget about minstrel shows. | |
| Let's see, no matter how brief the performance or playful the intent, summoning black images to play types means pirouetting on over 150 years of American blackface tradition. | |
| What does this mean, Mr. Carter? | |
| If there'd never been a minstrel show, it would be okay for white people to do this? | |
| I suspect they'd come up with a way to rag on white people about this anyway, even if there'd never been a minstrel show. | |
| And, you know, I'd like to know, can there ever be digital whiteface? | |
| I'd say a Zulu with a violin comes pretty close. | |
| I've got a few ideas, but this is the kid's show. | |
| We're PG. | |
| Oh, we're PG. | |
| Now, there is another version, apparently. | |
| I really got to the bottom of digital blackface because this was intriguing to me. | |
| Levi Strauss, the jeans people. | |
| They use artificial intelligence to expand the diversity of their denim-wearing models by using hyper-realistic fakes. | |
| They've partnered with something called La La Land AI, a Netherlands-based digital fashion studio that produces computer-generated, hyper-realistic models of every body type, age, size, and skin tone. | |
| And the studio provides so-called models, these artificial models, to many retailers, including Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and the Otto Group, whatever that is. | |
| So apparently, you can just come up with all the black people, or the Asians, or the Hispanics, or Martians, or anybody you like, wearing Levi's jeans. | |
| And using AI, according to Levi's, Also makes for less energy burn, as they call it. | |
| I guess, you know, if you just sit there in a computer, you don't have to drive out to a photo shoot. | |
| You don't have to pay the models. | |
| Nobody is going anywhere. | |
| I think it's a perfect way. | |
| Why just gin them up on a computer? | |
| And it's part of their pledge to be more sustainable in the fight against man-made climate change. | |
| But Uh-oh, that is digital blackface, too. | |
| Blogger Jennifer D. Laws is indignant. | |
| And it's the online practice of pretending to be black. | |
| And, according to this article, it's an extension of historical instances of mostly white people using makeup on in costume in minstrel shows. | |
| This is too much. | |
| Al Jolson 2.0. | |
| I guess so. | |
| I guess so. | |
| Boy, the white man just can't get it right, even after 150 years. | |
| Okay, now I have a good news story here, and it proves that people can learn. | |
| It's very rare, but people can learn. | |
| During the height of the BLM Antifa riots, The Denver Public School Board of Education passed a resolution that eliminated all school resource officers. | |
| Now, I've never liked that phrase, school resource officers. | |
| I mean, these are just campus cops. | |
| These are police people. | |
| Why do they call them school resource officers? | |
| The resolution was driven by the district's commitment to dismantle racism and become an anti-racist organization. | |
| Yep, the Denver Public Schools is determined to become an anti-racist organization, so they fired all the cops. | |
| Well, last week, a black gunman who was an expelled student came back and shot two school administrators. | |
| Now, two armed officers will be stationed at Denver East High School for the rest of the year, and at least one armed cop will be posted at each of the district's comprehensive high schools. | |
| Now, just a guess, Denver East High School. | |
| I'm just, you know, a little spitballing here, but my guess it's in a diverse part of town or maybe a vibrant part of town. | |
| Well, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock admitted that the decision to do away with SROs was a mistake and that we must move swiftly to correct it. | |
| How about that? | |
| When is the last time you heard of a politician saying, I made a mistake? | |
| Well, boy, congratulations, Mayor Hancock. | |
| And Denver East High School is reportedly shaken by frequent lockdowns and violence. | |
| Last month, a 16-year-old classmate was shot dead in his car just outside the school. | |
| Two teens, both Denver Public High School students, have been arrested. | |
| So they've decided they need a little bit of SRO after all. | |
| Well, in Virginia, in the summer of 2021, the Alexandria City Council, just down the street, voted to end their decades-old SRO program at the public schools. | |
| But by fall of that year, it didn't take them long, the city council reversed course. | |
| Before the reversal, there was a wave of violent incidents. | |
| See, they can learn. | |
| It takes some knifings, you know, it takes some fights, takes some shooting, but even white people can learn. | |
| And then less than a year after Montgomery County Public Schools, that's the first jurisdiction in Maryland to fire all the policemen from school buildings, they backtracked. | |
| Less than a year. | |
| And they signed a new memo of understanding with the Montgomery County Police Department. | |
| This caused an uproar among racial justice activists who fought to cleanse the district schools of SROs over racial disparities in student arrests and police content. | |
| I guess they'd rather have more shootings and knifings. | |
| They'd rather have more fights, more drugs, than disparities in arrests. | |
| And then, the good news continues. | |
| The public school system of Des Moines, Iowa terminated its in-school contract with the police department on February 21 due to, quote, overuse of law enforcement with students of color. | |
| Instead of the police, Des Moines public schools wanted so-called restorative measures. | |
| I hate that word. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| I mean, you say you slug a teacher. | |
| What's the restorative measure? | |
| And campus monitors and reparations facilitators would solve the problem. | |
| Well, since that happened, school fights have intensified and videos of brawls kept surfacing on social media. | |
| Guns, knives, mace, rocks, bricks, and a stun gun were among the weapons being used. | |
| So, the police have returned. | |
| And then one final. | |
| Yes, they can learn an example. | |
| Months after the Pomona Unified School Board approved a budget that excluded funding for the school policing program, the board voted unanimously to rehire SROs. | |
| And now you know the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey said. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, it doesn't take long. | |
| It seems like not even a year, just a couple of months. | |
| You remove the police officers and whoops, look what happens, boys. | |
| Okay, yes, there may be a few Disproportionate arrests, but that's better than having the students run wild. | |
| So there you go. | |
| Now, in this context, this story that you're going to tell us about the shootings of black children, which is really a tragic thing, but that might have had something to do with all of these SROs being fired. | |
| Yeah, you know, it's... | |
| You think about all that's happened. | |
| I guess this is what we kind of went over this last week. | |
| This is the third anniversary of the two weeks to stop the spread. | |
| And we're seeing the consequences of that on the financial system. | |
| Just the incredible actions that have happened. | |
| That's not our beat, but it's it's fascinating to watch what's going on with the Fed quantitative tightening, which is impacting everyone. | |
| But this is a story that really was difficult to read because no child should be shot. | |
| This is really a terrible sobering story. | |
| Yeah, this is from The Trace. | |
| The Trace, if memory serves correct, is a left-leaning anti-Second Amendment website that tries to do everything they can to highlight gun violence and the necessity of outlawing the Second Amendment. | |
| Shootings of children nearly doubled during the pandemic and black kids have We're 100 times. | |
| kids bore the brunt of the violence. A new study found that racial disparities among | |
| young shooting victims widened as overall gun violence spiked. | |
| Black children were 100 times more likely to be shot than white children during the | |
| first 100 times. Yeah, let's say that again. Black children were 100 times more likely to be | |
| shot than white during the last 21.5 months of the Corona pandemic. According to a | |
| study published last week in the Journal with the American Medical Association. | |
| Bye. | |
| Wow. | |
| You know, the disproportions in the 18 to 25, no, I guess it's the 14 to 25 age group, which is where there's the most violence. | |
| The black multiple of the white death rate is about 18, but Under that age for children, it's 100 times... God, that's gruesome. | |
| Well, of course, we have to remember the context. | |
| Context is king. | |
| That's the first 21.5 months of the coronavirus pandemic. | |
| Recall that the police just completely abandoned doing their job. | |
| And we've seen... Go ahead. | |
| But why would that mean children getting shot? | |
| It just... Wow. | |
| There are a variety of factors. | |
| Maybe they weren't in school, you know? | |
| Yeah, true. | |
| Home with dad. | |
| Home with dad. | |
| I doubt they were home with dad. | |
| That's not the case. | |
| Quote, this study shows how important it is to bring a healthy dispel. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Let me say that again. | |
| This study shows how important it is to bring a health disparity lens to research, said Jonathan Jay, a professor at Boston University School of Public Health and one of the study's authors. | |
| He would continue to say, quote, it shows how structural racism, including the inequitable distribution of resources, residential racial segregation and distribution of opportunities, not only harms children of color, but privileges white children, end quote. | |
| Mr. Jay, Mr. Jay, go off yourself, dude. | |
| Like, I'm sorry, I know this is a, you know, a family friendly show, but that is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. | |
| That because white people don't shoot white children, That somehow this is unfair privilege. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Unfair privilege there, you know, because white, because white people don't go around shooting. | |
| I guess, I guess from the context of this story, this means that white people were a hundred times less likely to shoot white children than black people were to shoot black children. | |
| Very likely. | |
| I don't think it's klaxons out there shooting black children. | |
| No, I don't think that happens. | |
| No. | |
| I mean, this, this statement by Jonathan Jay, this professor is, is akin to what we just talked about. | |
| That, uh, that white Colonel Johnson. | |
| How every problem, it has to have a white genesis. | |
| That's right. | |
| And it's, you're reading this as like, nobody, is there one story from the past 21.5 months? | |
| And I might be incorrect by making this statement. | |
| Is there one instance of a white person shooting a black child? | |
| Well, I suspect we'd hear about it if there were one. | |
| So, firearm homicide rates rose dramatically in the first months of COVID-19. | |
| Research has linked the spike to poverty. | |
| Initial scholarship focus on gun violence affecting adults or the general public, but emerging work is revealing that children were particularly affected. | |
| A recent study of pandemic-era pediatric firearm assaults in St. | |
| Louis found that the monthly gun injury rate, Mr. Taylor, among children increased by almost 52% compared to the five years before the pandemic. | |
| Well, the death rate among children increased by 29%. | |
| Black boys averaging 13 years old were the most likely victims in the St. | |
| Louis study. | |
| Well, that stands to reason, because as I said, the most dangerous ages are 14 through 25. | |
| So these are technically children, I suppose, for statistical purposes, but they're the ones who are the closest, just on the cusp of entering that most dangerous decade. | |
| Here's the key. | |
| Here's the key fact from all this though. | |
| And I want all of our listeners to pay close attention to the paragraph I'm about to read. | |
| Among non-Hispanic white children, there was no increase in shootings. | |
| Black children saw the most significant increase from 27 children per 100,000 to 34. | |
| The black white disparity grew from a relative risk of 25% to a hundred percent. | |
| The Hispanic white disparity tripled. | |
| And the disparity between Asian and white children nearly tripled. | |
| Think about that for a second. | |
| Again, I'm sure the numbers between Asian and white children were minuscule to begin with, but again, there was no increase in the shootings of white children during this time. | |
| But for every other racial group there was. | |
| I guess white people do have privilege. | |
| They have the privilege of being around white people. | |
| No, this is, uh, I mean, that's what, and going back to that paragraph that I said was one of the most evil paragraphs I've ever, I've ever encountered. | |
| It's, uh, the inequitable distribution of resources, residential racial segregation. | |
| Well, Mr. Jonathan Jay, doesn't residential racial segregation protect white children from the consequences of integration? | |
| If there was no white increase in shootings at a time where there was a hundred percent increase, I'm sorry, where black children were 100 times more likely to be shot than white children. | |
| Isn't residential segregation protecting white children? | |
| Well, you'd think that it would be protecting black children from all those horrible, wicked white people who perpetrate systemic racism upon them. | |
| None of this makes one bit of sense. | |
| It's really... I agree. | |
| What this guy is saying is absolutely foul. | |
| And what publication was it? | |
| Was this JAMA? | |
| Was this the New England Journal of Medicine? | |
| Which one? | |
| New England Journal of Medicine? | |
| No, sir. | |
| It was the Journal of American Medical Association. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| JAMA. | |
| Okay. | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| I didn't understand the acronym at first, but yeah. | |
| Right. | |
| Right. | |
| Yes. | |
| I may have to look that up. | |
| In any case, if the data are correct, it's certainly interesting and worth knowing. | |
| 100 times. | |
| Boy, boy, I wonder what they were before the pandemic. | |
| Probably something on the order of 50, 60 times if they, but be that as it may, that's really a startling and tragic figure. | |
| Well, did we speak about the free speech fiasco at Stanford Law School when there was allegedly It was a judge, a sitting federal judge, who was going to give a talk. | |
| And this judge had made some rulings that the loony liberals didn't care for. | |
| And when he got a talk, he was shouted down by students. | |
| And then one of the DEI officers came up the podium and basically complimented all of these crazies for having shouted him down. | |
| Thought this was just great. | |
| So in the wake of this, and this is something that I thought quite intriguing, If I can find the rest of this story. | |
| Let's see. | |
| A English professor at Wayne State University thought the protesters didn't go far enough. | |
| And he made a post on Facebook to explain why. | |
| It appears to be someone by the name of Steven Shaviro. | |
| And he writes, when right wing groups invite such speakers to campus like the sitting federal It is precisely because they want to provoke an incident that discredits the left and gives more publicity and validation to those reprehensible views that they could otherwise attain. | |
| The protesters get blamed instead of the bigoted speaker. | |
| Well, yes, violence breaks out or things are thrown. | |
| People scream. | |
| Yes, the protesters do get blamed. | |
| In short, every time protesters shouted down a racist or transphobic speaker, they are indulging their own moral sensibility at the expense of actually strengthening the very bigots against whom they are protesting. | |
| I think it is far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic or transphobic speaker than it is to shout him down. | |
| So there you go. | |
| Laid it on the table. | |
| Better just, you know, just kill them. | |
| That's the way you take care of the problem. | |
| Well, there's a left for you. | |
| Now, I have a heartwarming story from Britain for you. | |
| Did you realize that ethnic minorities in Britain account for only 1% of visitors at national parks? | |
| Oh, just 1%! | |
| That brings a tear to my eye. | |
| Oh gosh, the poor dears. | |
| And a diversity review commissioned by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs—isn't that an interesting department? | |
| Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs—found that while people from ethnic minority backgrounds value the natural environment, they felt excluded in what was seen as an exclusively English environment. | |
| They felt excluded. | |
| Got that? | |
| They felt excluded. | |
| Shockingly—now, I'd like to know what's behind this line—shockingly, Muslim hikers have faced online abuse and were accused of not being proper walkers—that's what the British call people who go for a walk on trails—following a Christmas Day hike in 2021. | |
| Now, I wonder what they did. | |
| It was a Christmas Day hike, but they faced abuse for not being proper walkers. | |
| They probably did something reasonably outrageous. | |
| Now, all you liberals out there, you'll be happy to know more is being done to support Muslims in the countryside. | |
| In particular, the new campaign focuses on facilitating prayer while hiking. | |
| Muslims pray in the direction of Mecca up to five times a day. | |
| So, signs pointing to the Holy City have been introduced along Cave Dale, a popular hiking trail in Devonshire. | |
| Coming to a trail near you, ladies and gentlemen, signs pointing to Mecca. | |
| Alongside that, a new pyramid designed by a 7th generation Muslim craftsman, well that makes it absolutely halal, will be launched on Wiggle's website. | |
| Wiggle, apparently, is some Muslim-oriented website for Brits. | |
| If you want one yourself, they'll be on the website on April of this year for £20 each. | |
| Specifically made to withstand the outdoors, it comes with pockets in four corners in which you can insert rocks to keep the corners down. | |
| Can't have the corners flapping up in the wind while you're praying to Allah. | |
| Compared to using jackets and makeshift alternatives, these new prayer mats will let Muslims pray comfortably while hiking. | |
| I told you this is a heartwarming story. | |
| So if you come around the bend and you find five or six asses in the air, Just be sure not to disturb this time of prayerful repose. | |
| And I guess you've been warned. | |
| If you've seen signs pointing to Mecca as you hike along, then you know what to expect. | |
| Now, I don't think this idea has come yet to the United States, but it's only a matter of time. | |
| Wouldn't you reckon? | |
| Oh, we're close. | |
| We're close. | |
| We're close. | |
| Yes. | |
| Now, here's another disgusting, awful story. | |
| I probably shouldn't read it. | |
| Well, I guess I will. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| You're teasing. | |
| Caleb Xavier Randolph, 25, was arrested by the Clayton County Police Department for child molestation, statutory rape, and sexual assault with at least one child at Rainbow House Inc. | |
| in Jonesburg. | |
| The shelter's executive director, Mia Kimber, who is Randolph's mother, and the program director of the Child Advocacy Center, Monica Jones, Age 52, knew about the sexual misconduct but failed to report it to the police. | |
| This is a shelter for girls. | |
| The two women created a cover-up scheme that included the victim being removed from the facility based on false allegations. | |
| And so, Xavier Randolph, the boy, continued to be employed and could have unsupervised interactions with children at the facility. | |
| Now, police have arrested another shelter employee for covering up And have identified at least two more minor victims. | |
| Oh, gosh. | |
| This is just so disgusting. | |
| Girls in a shelter for children. | |
| His mom runs the place. | |
| It appears to be an all Afro-American cast in this little drama. | |
| And three women cover up for him? | |
| Oh, boy. | |
| Well, I don't know. | |
| They'll probably go on to be hired as DEI coordinators someday. | |
| The Air Force? | |
| Yes, the Air Force. | |
| What a... | |
| What a disgusting story. | |
| Anyway, you've got another disgusting story, too, in its own different way. | |
| Apparently, the Philadelphia protesters, it's their lucky day. | |
| They've hit the jackpot. | |
| Yeah, you may recall we talked about in New York, I believe that protesters were awarded $21,000 each who had been wrongfully harmed by the NYPD during the summer of George Floyd. | |
| Well, now we learn courtesy of NBC Philadelphia that a $9.25 million settlement has been reached | |
| in the 2020 Philly protests where tear gas was deployed. | |
| $9.25 million. | |
| Attorneys representing protesters and residents should be terrorists, not protesters. | |
| Protesters and residents of West Philadelphia have reached a settlement with the city of Philadelphia in a case that revolves around how the city's police department used force, including deploying rubber bullets and tear gas against peaceful demonstrators and members of the community in the spring of 2020. | |
| I don't have the words for that one. | |
| Peaceful demonstrators. | |
| Yeah, that's exactly what they were. | |
| On Monday, attorneys with the Legal Defense Fund, the abolitionist law center, and the law firm of Kyers, Brudovitsky, Messing, Feinberg, and Lin announced a $9.25 million settlement with more than 340 individuals for what they called the Philadelphia Police Department's, quote, excessive militaristic use of force. | |
| Wow. | |
| Well, St. | |
| George, he's performing miracles after his death. | |
| of the death of George Floyd. | |
| Wow. | |
| Wow. | |
| Well, St. George, he's performing miracles after his death. | |
| This is, these are a form of indulgence, I guess, by the city of Philadelphia. | |
| Quote, today's monetary compensation is an important step, but it does not represent | |
| full accountability for the harm that occurred. | |
| Police fired tear gas at our family's home, leaving my three-year-old son crying and my six-year-old son completely terrified. | |
| The house was enclosed in gas and we were trapped inside with nowhere to go. | |
| Shadida, a plaintiff in the case, said in a statement shared with NBC10, the city still has not given us a simple apology and it must properly acknowledge this egregious act There's another phrase I can't stand. | |
| True healing. | |
| There's another phrase I can't stand, true healing. | |
| I pray the settlement will change of the city and its police force to deal with those they | |
| are supposed to protect and serve. | |
| Well considering the fact that Philadelphia has had more than 500 homicides for like I | |
| think three or four years in a row, it seems like the police are doing everything they | |
| can to just step back and let the primarily black city be, you know, unpoliced. | |
| Well, the problem is they're so busy tear gassing peaceful protesters they can't find | |
| That's the problem, obviously. | |
| What's the DA's name? | |
| Is it Krasner? | |
| Larry Krasner, another Soros-funded superstar of the legal realm. | |
| Well, you know, you learn astonishing things. | |
| Just by reading the news. | |
| And I've learned about pantry porn. | |
| Now, it does not mean making the beast with two backs in amongst the cans of baked beans. | |
| It has to do, it has to do with a recent TikTok trend of showing off perfectly organized and styled home pantries. | |
| This is called pantry porn. | |
| And these videos, apparently, are rooted in a history of classist, racist, and sexist social structures, according to a Chicago professor of marketing named Jenna Drenton at the Quinlan School of Business. | |
| She noticed a recent uptick of this kind of pantry porn on social media, where women show off their fully stocked kitchen and methodically organized home supplies. | |
| Professor Drenton, citing research, claims these videos of uniformly labeled and symmetrically placed supply bins, ingredient containers, and shelves are created by predominantly white women and are a new status symbol. | |
| She says this obsession sets the societal standard for an ideal mother, wife, or woman And pantry porn, as a status symbol, relies on the promise of making daily domestic work easier, but if women are largely responsible for the work required to maintain a perfectly organized pantry, it's critical to ask, for whom does it make it easier? | |
| So, pantry porn! | |
| Yet another sin laid at the feet of the wicked white woman. | |
| Mmm, boy. | |
| And here's one you never heard about. | |
| This is another gruesome one. | |
| Well, you know, we talk about being family friendly. | |
| Maybe I should edit these out. | |
| We really are family friendly. | |
| But you've never heard of Lawrence Paul Anderson, age 44, of Oklahoma. | |
| Well, he pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and a single count of maiming. | |
| He was sentenced to life without parole as part of a plea deal in which prosecutors dropped plans to seek the death penalty at the request of the victim's families. | |
| They don't want to try him, he said. | |
| They don't want to sit in a courtroom and listen to what happened to their loved ones. | |
| Well, one of our African-American fellow citizens, Lawrence Anderson, broke into the home of Andrea Lynn Blakenship, age 41. | |
| She was melanin deprived to begin with, but he deprived her of considerably more. | |
| He carved out her left eye, her stomach, and her heart. | |
| And he took the heart home to his uncle and aunt, cooked it with potatoes, and served it to them. | |
| Oh my God! | |
| He then stabbed and killed his uncle and their four-year-old granddaughter. | |
| He also stabbed his aunt, but she survived, minus one eye, which he managed to carve out. | |
| Now, Anderson, this is really the larger significance of this story, aside from the astonishing and gruesome details in his particular case. | |
| Anderson was released from prison less than a month before these attacks. | |
| After a 20-year prison sentence was commuted by Governor Kevin Stitt following recommendations from the State Pardon and Parole Board. | |
| He was in the joint for 20 years. | |
| They let him out after just three. | |
| Furthermore, he had several violent convictions before that in which he served ridiculously short parts of his sentencing time. | |
| And as I've said, you've never heard of this. | |
| Not even you, Mr. Kersey, who have almost always heard of anything I ever talk about. | |
| This is just one of those little things that happens in diverse America. | |
| People get out of prison much, much earlier than they should. | |
| I will tell you this. | |
| I had never heard of pantry porn. | |
| I'm not one who plays around with websites we shouldn't be on, but that's a new one for me. | |
| Pantry porn! | |
| Yep, there you go. | |
| Well, boy, we don't have much time left. | |
| So let's work in this New York City workshop on the harmful effects of whiteness, which apparently was banned, abolished, gone, nada. | |
| Oh, I'm sorry. | |
| Give me one second. | |
| We're talking about the harmful effects of whiteness. | |
| Yes, yes. | |
| This is actually a good, this is a white pill story. | |
| Let's sit with a good one. | |
| This is from the New York Post, New York City Teachers Union's workshop on harmful effects of whiteness, canceled after influx of Hate. | |
| A controversial seminar about white privilege had been planned by the city's teachers union for Monday was abruptly cancelled because a toast was inundated with hate messages and disparaging comments. | |
| Meaning... | |
| You can be heroes just for one day by telling the truth to those who would say that white people are evil. | |
| The United Federation of Teachers, which represents more than 190,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, educators, and child care workers in the five boroughs of New York City, had planned the virtual Holding the Weight of Whiteness seminar from 4 to 6 p.m. | |
| before it was postponed over blowback. | |
| From politicians and online commenters. | |
| Great! | |
| Yeah, scheduled presenter Erica Sandoval, a Queens licensed clinical social worker, said in a statement the events addressing the harmful effects of whiteness in our lives was cancelled when she received hate messages and disparaging comments being left in my email box and on my social media platforms. | |
| Well, there's some erasing of digital blackness that I'm a proponent of. | |
| The union sent out an email to members Sunday night informing them that the $25 virtual workshop would not go on as scheduled. | |
| The optional course for licensed mental health professionals was focused on cultural humility and inclusion and sought to teach educators how whiteness relates to privilege and identity and how both became normalized and invisible, according to literature promoting the event. | |
| Wow. | |
| And so they managed to absolutely shout it down. | |
| That's wonderful. | |
| Yeah, O-1-1-1-0-0-0-1. | |
| No, I'm joking. | |
| Speaking in a binary language. | |
| Yes, it was shot down courtesy of the internet, so good job all of those in New York. | |
| Yes, how come that doesn't happen with these utterly lunatic psycho ideas about giving five million dollars to every black San Franciscan? | |
| That should just be howled off stage. | |
| Just, it's ridiculous. | |
| Inconceivable. | |
| Well, gosh, we are running out of time. | |
| But before we do, I think we should explain to readers how to get in touch with us. | |
| And we'd love to hear from you. | |
| We'd love to hear from you. | |
| Tell us stories you think we should cover. | |
| Call things to our attention if you think we've missed them. | |
| But most of all, tell us where we've gone wrong. | |
| And as I say, I'm pondering this listener's suggestion that I mind my language and not quote these foul-mouthed people verbatim. | |
| But the way to get to us is you go to the American Renaissance website, amren.com, and you can hit the Contact Us tab, and you can send a message which will come straight to me. | |
| And there's another way. | |
| Yes, there's another way our listeners can get in touch with us. | |
| It's simply shoot me an email, ladies and gentlemen, because we live here at protonmail.com. | |
| Once again, Because we live here at Protonmail.com. | |
| And I would like to add that, mirabile dictum, or miraculous to say, as they say in Latin, the AMRAN podcast is on the, uh, uh, what's, uh, let's see, the Android, uh, program for podcasts. | |
| I believe it's called Radio Renaissance or AMRAN or something like that. | |
| So you can find it there. | |
| And there's also a sub stack and you can subscribe to them. | |
| So you won't have to wait. | |
| They will just show up. | |
| You get an email message and then you will hear Paul Kersey and me holding forth on the week's good news, bad news and mostly more bad news. | |
| So that's another way I invite you all to stay in touch with us, because it is always such a privilege and a pleasure. | |
| And we are grateful for your attention to us. |
