	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
	I'm your host, Jared Taylor, with American Renaissance.
	And with me is my indispensable, indefatigable co-host, Paul Kersey.
	Today is June 7th, Anno Domini 2023.
	And as is our well-established custom, we would like to start with some comments from our listeners.
	One listener sends in a photograph of a black man holding a sign that says, no mother should have to fear for her son's life every time he robs a store.
	Now, this is a very realistic looking image.
	I'm not sure if it is hokied up.
	It might be, but it does capture a certain humanitarian sentiment.
	Yes.
	A mother shouldn't have to fear for her son's life every time he robs the store.
	Yes, there's another family values, family values circulating in the black community.
	So, I don't know.
	Again, I don't know if it's real, if it's not.
	In any case, it makes a good joke.
	Well, it sums up 2023 beautifully, does it not, when you consider all that's happening?
	Yes, it does.
	That's sort of a preview of what we're going to be talking about, ladies and gentlemen.
	There's a lot of nuttiness happening, so that picture is a wonderful snapshot of the current year.
	True.
	No shortage of nuttiness.
	And another comment.
	Last week, Mr. Taylor mentioned some vulgar movies he has watched, and he mentioned by name Que Viva Mexico by the Mexican director Luis Estrada.
	Wow, what a jaundiced look at Mexican society.
	Everyone is greedy.
	Every official is corrupt.
	Everyone is scheming.
	Every man is unfaithful.
	Not a nice picture of what we may end up becoming.
	Well, our listener is right about that.
	And, I don't know, I didn't watch it with English subtitles, but practically every other word is a swear word, and so I suspect that even in English it was quite an eye-opening and not exactly family-friendly set of dialogues.
	But yeah, it's quite a movie, and I would recommend that people watch it.
	It's also pretty entertaining, well put together, but boy oh boy!
	The picture it paints of American society is not one that anyone would find encouraging.
	You mean Mexican society, correct?
	Oh, I beg your pardon, yes.
	There actually are a couple of gringos who show up, and they're no better than the Mexicans, but they're not particularly bad either.
	So, wow, yes.
	It's very high production values, quite well put together, very eye-opening.
	We'd like to talk about the cost of illegal immigrants.
	The Federation of American Immigration Reform, FAIR, F-A-I-R, has done a study which found that last year the cost of illegal immigration to the United States at the federal, state, and local levels, including such things as police, court costs, schooling, all that kind of thing, was at least $151.7 billion.
	Now, it subtracted the tax revenues paid by illegal aliens, including estimated sales taxes of just under $32 billion, and the negative impact was $150.1.
	Their actual total cost was $182 billion, but as I say, they paid $32 billion, so the net negative impact was $150.7 billion.
	but as I say, they paid $32 billion. So the net negative impact was $150.7 billion.
	This means that each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens, every one of them,
	the per capita cost is $1.5 billion.
	Illegal immigration cost each American taxpayer $957.
	Illegal immigration cost each American taxpayer $957.
	So if you are the average taxpayer out there, $957 of the bill that you paid, state and
	federal, was to take care of these illegal immigrants who do not pay their own way.
	Furthermore, there's a large percentage of illegal aliens who work in the underground economy.
	They often pay no income tax at all, and many illegal aliens actually receive a net cash benefit through refundable tax credit programs.
	Just something to make your day.
	You didn't realize that you were playing Father Christmas every time you wrote a check to the IRS, but you are.
	Now, this is a story about Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.
	She's the first American Indian to run the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
	No, no, she's Interior Secretary.
	I was thinking she's running the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but no, she's Interior Secretary.
	She's the boss of the entire interior.
	Well, she has finalized actions that bans fossil fuel and mineral leasing within a 10-mile buffer zone around the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico.
	And she said when she signed off on this, today marks an important step in fulfilling President Biden's commitment to Indian country by protecting Chaco Canyon, a sacred place that holds deep meaning for the indigenous peoples, whose ancestors have called this place home since time immemorial.
	Now, I haven't checked on whether they've called it home since time immemorial, because a lot of people have moved around out in the West.
	Be that as it may, the action comes nearly two years after the Department of the Interior and the BLM organization first proposed the leasing moratorium.
	What has BLM got to do with this?
	Excellent question.
	Inquiring minds want to know, and I have no good answer.
	However, the proposal has been met with fierce opposition from the neighboring Navajo Nation.
	Again, this is to put a moratorium on drilling for mineral rights.
	In 2021, Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Leiser wrote a letter to Mr. Biden warning that it would have a devastating impact on tribal members who have a financial interest in drilling in the area.
	In an effort to reach a compromise, the Navajo Nation proposed perhaps a five-mile buffer zone.
	This was an idea floated by the energy industry, which of course wants to drill, too.
	However, in a recent 15-to-1 vote, the Navajo Nation's Resource and Development Committee passed a resolution stating the tribe opposes any buffer zone.
	Their attitude is, drill, baby, drill, by a vote of 15-to-1.
	If a buffer zone is adopted, it said, the Navajo allottees, that means they have allotments for mineral lights, who rely on the income realized from oil and gas royalties will be pushed into greater poverty.
	Navajo members would lose an estimated 194 million dollars over the next 20 years.
	Wow!
	Yes, so they want the cash.
	They don't seem to care too much about this sacred place that, according to the Interior Secretary, holds deep meaning for the indigenous peoples.
	Now, this is a very interesting little footnote to the story.
	is a member of the Puebloan tribe, the Laguna Pueblo.
	It has advocated for the buffer zone.
	Well, what does the Laguna Pueblo have to do with it?
	Apparently, Deb Haaland's daughter, Soma, is a member of the Pueblo Action Alliance, a New Mexico-based environmental and cultural group that has also been pushing for this moratorium and drilling around the sacred site.
	Now, I looked up these two tribal areas, and Chaco Canyon is, sure enough, right next to where the Navajo reservation happens to be.
	The Pueblo, the Laguna Pueblo reservation, is in a different part of the state.
	And I probably should have looked into this further, but clearly the Navajo were saying, to heck with the sacred place, we want the dough.
	Now, the Laguna Pueblo, who wouldn't be getting any of the dough because that's not part of their land, maybe they think it's sacred.
	Or maybe they just hate the Navajo and don't like the idea of them getting 194 million dollars.
	But this is one of those tricky and interesting stories where there is more than meets the eye.
	But I do find it quite amusing that one Indian, an Indian from one tribe, is saying to another tribe, No, we, like it or not, we're going to protect your high holy places, even if you want drilling around them, whether you like it or not.
	And then this other tribe is saying, yep, yep, yep, yep.
	We want this protection.
	We don't want the Navajo getting that kind of money.
	Stranger things have happened, haven't they?
	But, apparently, you have a story according to which Target will save Indian high holy places, too.
	Oh, goodness gracious.
	Yeah, I'm sure a lot of our listeners in the United States of America are They engage in a boycott of Target with all that they're doing to celebrate the latest LGBTQ month here.
	I myself have stopped shopping at Target, though I haven't yet sold my stock because they do pay a nice dividend.
	But anyways, Target, this is from Outkick.com.
	I've praised that great media outlet many times.
	That's Clay Travis's group.
	Target backs organization pushing Mount Rushmore shutdown and U.S.
	demilitarization.
	So the Target company is funding a grantee pushing to shut down and give away U.S.
	sovereign land, such as Mount Rushmore.
	Why?
	Well, according to Fox News Digital, Target supported a group called Land Back, Mr. Taylor, that believes Mount Rushmore is an international symbol of White supremacy.
	Well, every one of those statues, or faces, it's a white man, and it's made out of very white stone, so, and it's up high, so I guess it is literal white supremacy.
	It dominates the landscape.
	It is carved, it's etched into stone, white supremacy.
	You're right.
	Of course, for those unfamiliar, there is a picture, there's the face of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln.
	Of course, James K. Polk should be up there, but whatever.
	Quote, the closure of Mount Rushmore, return of that land and all public lands in the Black Hills, South Dakota is our cornerstone battle, said the in the end collective target funded in 2022.
	Quote, not only does Mount Rushmore sit in the heart of the sacred Black Hills, but it is an international symbol of white supremacy and colonization.
	I like that.
	Demilitarize the military.
	I'm gonna have to adopt that slogan.
	I like that.
	It's not a bad idea.
	You know what my guess is?
	is putting indigenous lands back in indigenous hands.
	And quote, the same fund sought to demilitarize the violent US military. Oh. I like that. Demilitarize the military. I'm
	gonna have to adopt that slogan. I like that. Not a bad idea.
	You know what my guess is? What would the Indians do if you gave them Mount Rushmore? You know what they'd do?
	They'd charge admission and let people come look at it.
	I mean, they'd rather drill than protect their holy places in Chaco Canyon.
	I think they know a good thing when they see one.
	But I wonder, I'd be curious to know more about what's this organization called that wants to demilitarize the military and give America back to the Indians?
	Land Back.
	Land Back.
	Catchy name.
	Okay.
	Now, you've heard about equity grading, but I suspect that some of our listeners have not.
	Teachers in Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools.
	That's where my daughters went to public school.
	They just missed the insanity by a few years.
	But these teachers are required to undergo professional development in equity grading.
	It requires that teachers all read a book called Grading for Equity by Joel Feldman and discuss it in monthly faculty meetings.
	Equity grading includes eliminating zero grades by means of a 50% minimum grade on all assignments, even if you do absolutely nothing.
	Also, it removes all deadlines.
	Now, I don't know how you can remove all deadlines, but it gives you an opportunity to redo any assignment.
	You turn in something late, you can, well, things are never late.
	And if you get a bad grade, you can take the test over again.
	The goal is, and this is quoting from the curriculum, transform current practices to ensure that the academic excellence of all students is reflected in our systems of evaluation.
	So it doesn't make any difference if you flunk things or if you turn things late.
	You can redo and redo and redo to the point where you can boost up your grade.
	Of course, I'm sure all of this has to do with the fact that people who turn in their stuff late, who get zero grades, and who get bad grades that have to be redone, tend to be BIPOCs.
	So it's all about bringing up the BIPOCs.
	One of the teaching slides describes a person who, quote, Struggles to differentiate between equity and equality, and how such a person might believe that equality is fair—just treating people equally.
	The slide goes on to say, because the fairness seeker—this is in quotes—fairness seeker—it's really sort of an imaginary phenomenon—idealizes equality, it may be especially challenging for him to believe in systemic racism.
	That's right.
	This is an act of faith.
	I'm glad they seem to recognize that.
	Systemic racism.
	And I think that is one of the biggest conspiracy theories out there, but the New York Times will never call it that.
	Such a person can become an ardent equity supporter if you can redirect his definition of fairness from equal to equity.
	And as we all know, equity means having everybody end up at the same place.
	Now, this is almost the most chilling part of all.
	The training recommends using other people in the room to, quote, dilute the fairness seeker's voice.
	Now, what does that mean to you?
	I'll tell you what it means to me.
	It means you gang up on him and drown him out.
	You get other people to say, what?
	No, no, you don't understand.
	We need equity.
	None of this equality nonsense.
	So that is what the teachers in the public schools where my daughters actually got, I think, a reasonably good education some years ago are being taught, taught a grade.
	And meanwhile, this is really kind of funny.
	I'd never heard of this fellow, Roy F. Baumeister, PhD.
	He is, according to his own little biography, One of the world's most influential and most cited psychologists with expertise in human morality.
	Imagine writing that to yourself, writing that about yourself.
	One of the world's most influential and most cited psychologists with expertise in human morality.
	Human morality, I love it.
	Human morality, not animal morality, not insect morality, not plant morality.
	That should be the way we introduce you from now on.
	You rival him in such a wonderful title that he's bestowed on himself.
	Well, yes.
	I think if I'm going to be bestowing a title on myself, maybe I'd like, I don't know, Super Galactic Superhero.
	Intergalactic Superhero.
	How's that?
	That's my title from henceforth.
	Yes, intergalactic superhero.
	In any case, this guy, this guy, now listen to this, he can supposedly come up with an objective measure to detect racism.
	And all he needs to do is compare the grades that a teacher gives blacks as opposed to whites.
	And that would determine if, quote, a professor has routinely given higher grades to white students than black students.
	He writes, Structural racism is often invisible, so one cannot be sure how and when it operates.
	It's inferred from results, so why not focus on the most important results, namely grading disparities?
	In other words, if you discover that the black kids in the physics class are regularly getting lower grades than the white kids in the physics class, then that is ipso facto proof of systemic racism.
	Then he goes on to say that the information showing this systemic racism should be publicized and would, in effect, shame professors into becoming anti-racist.
	He goes on to say, it would be a simple matter to compute for each professor and course the average grades given to white and black students.
	If a professor has routinely given higher grades to white students than black students, the anti-racism bureaucracy may pounce.
	Pounce.
	If you are a racist reading this, he says, I have no sympathy for you.
	I hope the coming round of publicity will expose you and shame you into reforming your practices to stop oppressing innocent young people.
	The only reason, the only reason that blacks compared to whites might be getting lower grades is racism, systemic racism against blacks.
	Now, I wonder if he has anything in there to say about Asians perhaps getting better grades than whites.
	That's the aspect of it that nobody ever talks about.
	Does that mean this is systemic racism against white people?
	Somehow, I'm guessing not.
	But this apparently is the kind of thinking that we get from the world's most influential and cited psychologist with expertise in human morality.
	Wow.
	Not the intergalactic superhero for all of mankind, as you would have guessed.
	Well, I'm sure he thinks he is.
	But now, the University of Connecticut, apparently, the UConn Huskies, they are going to cure racism in their entire student body, are they not?
	Oh my goodness, you know, we could just do a podcast off of the stories from the wonderful site Campus Reform.
	This comes from Campus Reform, which has produced so many wonderful people on the right who have gone on to do great work.
	UConn to require students to pass Anti-black racism course in order to graduate.
	Speak of that high-minded morality from our prior story.
	So the UConn, the University of Connecticut, will officially make its anti-black racism, ABR, course mandatory for all undergraduate students as part of the core curriculum's new social justice requirement.
	This goes to show Mr. Taylor that video you did last week where you talked about how every society has to have not only morality but a religion.
	This just shows how Just overwhelming, this whole concept of Black Run America truly has become.
	Did I hear you correctly?
	This is only for graduate students, though?
	I thought it was undergraduate students.
	I said for all undergraduate students.
	All undergraduates.
	If I didn't say it clearly, it's because I am in an area that is impacted, sir, by this horrible fires that's producing just this terrible smoke.
	I do apologize.
	I'm a little congested.
	Very sorry.
	I may have misheard.
	Maybe my ears are affected by this smoke, too.
	In any case, all undergraduates, they have to pass this anti-racism course.
	I wonder how you fail it.
	If you fail, you're white.
	You automatically fail.
	You have to take the class.
	And guess what happens, Mr. Taylor?
	It's like in that Oh gosh, what is that clockwork orange where you have to keep watching it over and over and over again with your eyes open?
	That's the penalty for whiteness, UConn.
	Provost Ann DeLavia announced on May 17th the requirement will go into effect during the 2024-2025 academic year with a course that will be similar to the one-credit ABR elective.
	Wow.
	as a key word that has been offered since 2021.
	Quote, an education at our university must provide many opportunities to confront the history
	and current reality of injustice and human rights.
	Oh, abuses.
	And we expect our students to be leaders in creating a more just and equitable world.
	ABR and the curricular changes in our development are a powerful point of departure from the status quo.
	Delivia stated.
	Wow, every student has got to have his brain officially washed.
	Missile.
	It's not officially washed, it's officially... I'm not sure the right... Officially soiled, I don't know.
	Yeah, it's got to be violated, penetrated, and with just the continuous amount of, not propaganda, I mean, of the state religion.
	I mean, again, You and I are heretics of the state religion
	and increasingly a large number of very good people are being put in that category.
	And I would tell you, if I was going to UConn, I would definitely transfer out.
	And I'd transfer to University of Florida, one of these states where the whole diversity,
	inclusion, equity, religion is being renounced and being removed from the program.
	University spokesperson, Stephanie Reitz, told Campus Reform that the course requirement
	was created by the University Senate, which approved the motion 36 to 25.
	I'd like to buy those 25 people who voted no a drink.
	Quote, the Senate's discussion includes different perspectives
	voiced by various members of that body, including faculty and students.
	So we would refer you to that discussion.
	So according to UConn's website, ladies and gentlemen, the fall 2020 version of the course was designed to instruct students about foundational concepts related to black consciousness, black resistance, black resilience, and intersectional solidarity, end quote.
	Wow.
	Well, they will be sadder and wiser people once they have gone through this, I do not doubt.
	Yep, and then just to put the bow on this story, course objectives also included the ability to question the consequences of anti-Black racism in areas such as Black health and wellness, Black agency and resilience, and or anti-Blackness in higher education.
	Students were also informed on how to locate valuable resources throughout the University of Connecticut that work to disrupt anti-Black racism for the collective good, end quote.
	You know, where did this whole concept of of disrupting come from.
	People are out there busily disrupting white supremacy, and they're disrupting systemic racism.
	That seems to be a relatively recent concept to me.
	They're all disruptors out there.
	But I don't know.
	I guess you got new lingo has to come up all the time.
	Be fashionable.
	If you're a consultant, you got to come up with words and phrases that nobody else has.
	But moving along to Chicago.
	Just last weekend, 46 people were shot, 9 fatally.
	Surveillance video shows the moment that gunfire erupted on Iowa near Cicero streets as dozens of people ran for their lives.
	But this is the part that really interested me.
	Mayor Brandon Johnson, he upbraided critics saying if they don't live in Chicago, And don't have skin in the game.
	They don't have the right to talk about violence in Chicago.
	Mr. Kay, I don't believe you live in Chicago.
	I'm not a resident of the second city, no.
	No, so we better not talk about it.
	Boy, I wonder what Brandon Johnson is going to do.
	Is he going to shoot us if we talk about all the shootings going on in this city and don't live there?
	He's going to force us to go take a course by the former black mayor who just got hired by Harvard.
	I always forgot her name.
	Lori Lightfoot.
	We have to.
	That's right.
	She's going to be.
	What is she going to be teaching?
	I don't know.
	Lesbian politics or I don't know.
	Racial resilience.
	Boy, I guess she's going to be teaching at Harvard.
	Well, I hope she has a lovely time.
	And meanwhile, meanwhile, strange doings in northwest D.C.
	An 11 year old boy.
	has been charged with robbery and armed assault. He's from northeast D.C. His race has been
	unspecified, so we must not leap to conclusions, Mr. Kersey.
	And so I refuse to leap. I'm just passing along this news story in the form in which I
	acquired it. He brandished a firearm and robbed one victim of his bicycle. So he's starting modestly.
	Eleven years old.
	The following Wednesday afternoon, he and another suspect rode up on bicycles, no doubt on stolen
	wheels, and they pointed a gun at a victim and the boys charged with dangerous weapons in that case.
	Well, then there was yet another victim on Friday.
	He robbed this fellow, but this guy was just hitting his stride.
	I mean, gee, you shouldn't stop him now.
	This is some form of self-expression, I suppose.
	You know, at this rate, he's going to be a self-supporting member of society by age 12.
	But I guess you can't call these teen thugs.
	I mean, what do you call them?
	An 11-year-old boy is charged with armed robbery?
	These are strange times.
	You call them a reminder of why Sundown Towns and Jim Crow once existed.
	That's what you call it.
	The further we get from the past where our ancestors tried to protect their posterity, the more we get volumes, volumes on a daily basis of anecdotes from the, whatever you want to call the United States in 2023, as to why such measures were implemented.
	How wise they were.
	Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe you have some statistics, some not very surprising, but nevertheless significant statistics on Minneapolis gun crime.
	Yeah, this was shocking.
	I saw this on Twitter.
	There's been a proliferation of really great accounts on Twitter.
	Unfortunately, you are not back yet.
	Elon Musk, if you're listening, you need to fix that and let Mr. Taylor back onto your Twitter.
	So we truly have free speech, but somebody just found that the Cincinnati, the city of Minneapolis put out this incredible data, uh, of known, uh, 2022 gun vi- uh, I'm sorry.
	It's called the 2022 gun violence overview put out by the Minneapolis government.
	And it goes into great detail of, uh, of who the victims are.
	Now, before we go any further, it should be pointed out that Minneapolis as of 2022 census, it's a 60% Non-Hispanic white, so 60% white and 18% black.
	So 22% other.
	Excuse me one second.
	Sorry, I didn't blow my nose.
	This this air quality is terrible.
	So according to this 2022 gun violence demographic breakdown from the city of the from the elected officials here in Minneapolis, 83% of shooting victims are black.
	Now remember, 18% of the city is black.
	9% are white, 4% Native American, 3% Oonk.
	Is that the correct pronunciation of that?
	That stands for unknown.
	Unknown.
	I was thinking it was one of these indigenous tribes that somehow.
	Could be.
	Yes, they're the Oonk.
	They're the Oonk Papas and the Hunk Papas, yes.
	You know what?
	I feel so absolutely imbecilic for saying that, but I've never actually encountered that in data.
	Why would they not just spell it all the way out?
	Yeah, Oonk.
	It's more fun to think there's some people out there called the UNK.
	I'd love to meet them.
	I bet there are.
	If you hunt hard enough, you'll find some UNKs.
	You'll find plenty of UNKs.
	Sometimes I feel like an UNK myself.
	Well, add an H to that and that's what you are, sir.
	No, and then 1% Asian.
	Now, real quick, 89% of shooting suspects.
	89% of shooting suspects.
	Once again, I'm going to emphasize this.
	89% of shooting suspects are described as blacks in cases where suspect descriptions were provided.
	Think about that for a second.
	18% of the city is black.
	89% of shooting suspects in 2022 are described as black in cases where suspect descriptions were provided.
	Consider for the fact that how many, I don't know what the clearance rate for for
	fatal non-fatal shootings are in Minneapolis.
	We know that in most major cities it's under 50 percent. I think we talked about how on a
	podcast recently Mr. Taylor where all of the growth and clearance rates dropping was because of blacks.
	True. It was an incredible story.
	Incredible story.
	That was from about two months ago.
	In 2021, there was one Black shooting victim for every 150 Black residents in Minneapolis.
	The metric for White residents was one shooting victim for every 3,768 residents.
	Black community members are disproportionately represented in shooting victim data.
	Two-thirds of our shooting victims are under the age of 31.
	Just imagine, I mean, I think you did a fantastic I saw a graph back when New York City still published their data and it showed what percentage of robberies, rapes, non-fatal shootings, and homicide were committed by individual blacks.
	And you basically said, what if New York City had no blacks?
	What would the crime rate be like?
	Minneapolis would look like, it would look like Sweden from before mass immigration.
	Yes, yes.
	No, it's quite incredible.
	When you see figures like that, and you say, wow, the black population was 16%, 18%, and they are 90% of the murder suspects.
	If the city were all white, you could probably fire three-quarters, four-fifths of the police department.
	No, it's quite incredible.
	And occasionally, these statistics filter into the mainstream, at least to the extent that Twitter can be called mainstream.
	Yeah, it's also fascinating.
	I just thought about this.
	Target started in Minneapolis, so you think about just all this nuttiness where it came from this once homogenous White state that I believe, I think it was either Life or Time.
	I think it was Life Magazine did a profile back in the 1960s of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it pointed out the state was 99% white.
	Ninety-nine percent.
	Ninety-nine percent white.
	Steve Saylor did this great blog on that.
	And think about just, I think, I don't believe that Gregory Hood has done a great replacement on Minneapolis.
	I'll look it up.
	I don't think he has either.
	Yes, yes.
	Just about every city in the United States could deserve that kind of treatment.
	Well, let's move on to VMI, where there's been a certain amount of replacement, too.
	Because Jamica Love, The first ever chief diversity officer at VMI has resigned.
	She hasn't been replaced yet.
	She assumed her role in 2021.
	Imagine until 2021, the Virginia Military Institute did not have a chief diversity officer.
	The horror.
	But they got one after allegations of structural racism by black students and alumni.
	I don't guess they had any allegations of individual, actual, outright people who are racist, but there was structural racism.
	And as a result of an independent investigation into these allegations, they rushed right out and hired Jameika Love.
	Now Love's deputy, Breonna Williams, will serve as interim chief diversity officer until the position can be filled permanently.
	I couldn't get any indication of what Breonna Williams' race is, but Jamaica, she was sure enough an African-Americaness.
	Now, perhaps you, Mr. Kersey, because you know everything, realize that the commandant of VMI is also a black man.
	That's right.
	His name, he is retired Army Major General Cedric T. Wins.
	He is the first Black superintendent, in its 183-year history, he announced Love's resignation.
	The announcement, however, comes with a footnote.
	Alumni have spoken out against the DEI initiatives and their implementation under the aegis of Jamaica Love, members of something called the Spirit of EMI, They are a political action committee of alumni, parents, and friends of the school.
	They have argued that DEI is unnecessary, promotes racial division, and they urge others to, quote, reject the woke assault on VMI.
	So this is quite interesting.
	They managed to get Jamaica fired.
	But they have not succeeded in getting the position abolished.
	There are probably lots of interesting elements to this story that you'd have to do a lot of digging to find out, but we will see what comes of this.
	Well, if you recall, VMI back in February of 2022 changed their honor system because 43% of those expelled for violating the honor code, Mr. Taylor, were black, even though they only represent 6% of the student body.
	These things happen.
	Also, that's yet another example of structural racism, systemic racism, unconscious bias, etc, etc.
	I stand corrected.
	The New Century Foundation has published the Great Replacement Minneapolis edition.
	Would you like to know what percentage Minneapolis was in 1950?
	Oh dear.
	What percentage white?
	White, yes.
	Wow.
	Probably 98, 97, 99, something like that.
	So between 1930 and 1950, it was 99, 99, 98 percent.
	As early as 1960, Minneapolis was 97 percent.
	In 1970, 94 percent white.
	99 something like that? So between 1930 and 1950 it was 99, 99, 98 percent. As early as 1960
	Minneapolis was 97 percent. In 1970 94 percent white and in 1980 it was still 87 percent white,
	the city of Minneapolis. Oh my dear, oh my goodness.
	And now you say it's 60 something?
	It's roughly 60, yep.
	Ah, a rapid decline and no end in sight is there.
	Meanwhile, Sweden.
	The Swedish national broadcaster SVT has come up with a new project called the History of Sweden.
	This is a series that spans the Ice Age to the present day, and it has taken three years to make.
	Some 300 historians and experts are said to have been involved in the project.
	And, interestingly enough, early Swedes are being played by blacks and other non-Europeans.
	An advanced clip shows a group of early Nordic hunters lying in wait for their prey.
	And these early Nordic hunters are clearly black Africans.
	Yes.
	Of course.
	Yes.
	Now, I wonder what race Leif Erikson will be or, well, I don't know, Eric the Red.
	I guess he's going to be now Eric the Orange or Eric the Black.
	And you know, Gustavus Adolphus, that's a Chinese name, right?
	What in heaven's name were these people thinking?
	They just want to rub the Swedes' noses in this?
	Apparently there's a certain amount of resistance, but when the state broadcaster says, here are your ancestors, here are your prehistoric ancestors, and they look like people from Zimbabwe, what are you supposed to do?
	Meanwhile, the Anglo-Saxon is vanishing at Cambridge University.
	Britain's early medieval history is taught by the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, but it says the terms in its own title, Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, are being addressed as part of efforts to make teaching more anti-racist.
	Now, what can this mean?
	The teaching at Cambridge now aims to, quote, dismantle the basis of myths of nationalism by explaining that the Anglo-Saxons were not a distinct group.
	The department's approach aims to show that there were never Scottish, Irish, and Welsh ethnic identities with ancient roots.
	That's all imaginary.
	If you think you had Scots ancestors, Irish, or Welsh, no, no, no, no.
	There was no such distinctive ethnic group.
	And the increased focus on anti-racism comes amid a broader debate Over the continued use of terms like Anglo-Saxon, because some in academia say that this name is used to support racist ideas of a native English identity.
	We can't have a native English identity, for heaven's sake, because that's racist.
	Oh, dear.
	So, ladies and gentlemen, what this points out is we ever hear people talk about, well, when we're a minority, we're going to get to have a reservation, right?
	No.
	You're in the majority right now, and you don't even get to have an identity.
	All you get to do is sit back and enjoy the diversity, inclusion, and equity.
	And if you're intolerant, off with your head and off with your past.
	What it ends up is diversity, exclusion, and inequity, as far as we're concerned.
	But Cambridge University says, one concern has been to address recent controversy over the use
	of the term Anglo-Saxon and its perceived connection to ethnic racial English identity.
	In general, ASNC, Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic teaching, seeks to dismantle the basis of myths
	of nationalism, that there was never a British, English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish people with
	a coherent identity by showing students just how constructed and contingent these identities
	are and always have been.
	That's right.
	There never was a Scottish or Welsh or an English identity.
	In 2019, and this is something we covered, the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists Voted to change its name to the International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England because Anglo-Saxon was an exclusionist term that made non-whites feel unsafe.
	Fancy that?
	You can't be an Anglo-Saxonist.
	Oh, I am a proud Anglo-Saxonist.
	I bet you are.
	I swim in waters of only Anglo-Saxony.
	Well, good for you.
	I'm afraid sometimes I have to dip my toe into even anti-Anglo-Saxonist waters.
	But however, a statement signed by more than 70 academics at the time said the term Anglo-Saxon is historically accurate and authentic.
	That from the 8th century, it was used externally to refer to a dominant population in southern Britain.
	Its earliest uses, therefore, embody exactly the significant issues we can expect any ethnic or national label to represent.
	So back in 2020, which seems many, many a riot and many, many a revolution ago, there were at least 70 academics who still had brains in their skulls.
	Now, you sent me a story that really quite shivered my timbers.
	It was about San Francisco really circling the drain.
	Yeah, you know, there's a guy I like a lot.
	Maybe one of these days we'll convince him to come on and do a podcast with us, Vox A Day.
	And I went to his site today just to see what was going on, and his post was Ghost Town in San Francisco.
	Now, this story comes to us from the Daily Mail.
	Again, one of the best news zines out there.
	And it tells us this, the owner of two of San Francisco's largest hotels has stopped making mortgage payments on the properties and will let them go into foreclosure as historic crime rates continue to deter tourists.
	Park Hotels and Resorts announced on Monday that it stopped making payments on its $725 million loan due in November for the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Park 55, the largest and fourth largest hotels in the city, respectively.
	Quote, after much thought and consideration, we believe it is in the best interest for park stockholders to materially reduce our current exposure to the San Francisco market.
	End quote.
	That's from CEO Thomas Baltimore, Jr.
	He said in a statement, quote, Now more than ever, we believe in San Francisco.
	We believe San Francisco's path to recovery remains clouded and elongated by major challenges,
	both old and new, as the city becomes a ghost town with empty storefronts.
	Out of 203 retailers open in 2019 in the city's Union Square area, just 107 are still operating,
	a drop of 47% in just a few pandemic-ravaged years.
	It's not pandemic.
	Come on, guys.
	Pandemic-ravaged.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Among the heavy hitters, Brooks Brothers, Ray-Ban, Lululemon, and Marmont have all packed it
	in.
	I'm not going to try to pronounce it because I'll butcher it.
	But another 12 new retailers have opened up in the area since the pandemic began in 2020, but already two of them have either closed or plan to shut down.
	The 1-6.
	And Williams-Sonoma announced it will shut down in 2024.
	You know, Mr. Kersey, I've stayed in the Hilton on Union Square.
	Union Square used to be the heart of downtown San Francisco.
	Fashionable retail, really well-kept stores, all the high-end things.
	That was back when I was a respectable person and actually had consulting jobs and people flew me around the country and put me up in nice hotels, and I stayed there.
	And it is shocking to think that that place has gone so downhill that they can't even meet their mortgage payments.
	Now, I wonder what in the world is going to happen.
	That means, presumably, if they're not paying their mortgage, the bank, was it $700 million they owe the bank on this place?
	$725 million.
	That's incredible.
	Incredible amount of money.
	Well, that's a lot of money.
	The bank is going to repossess this thing, but if the current operators cannot make money and cannot repay, who's going to buy it?
	This sounds like a catastrophe.
	Nobody's going to buy it.
	And it sounds like the managers are going to walk away from it.
	The bank is going to own this hulking building that isn't even operating.
	Is it going to become an empty shell?
	Are they going to board it up?
	This is absolutely catastrophic.
	And this is, again, smack in the heart of what used to be a beautiful, thriving city.
	It just makes your head spin.
	I'd love to.
	I'd love to read what Vox Dei said in regards to this piece.
	Obviously, he posted the news site on his blog, and he wrote this, Mr. Taylor and dear listeners, quote, San Francisco is the harbinger of the urban U.S.
	future.
	Few U.S.
	cities combine extremes of ideology, diversity, immigration in his perfect That's for sure.
	But this is, as I say, this is just flabbergasting.
	Two major hotels right in downtown, they're just going to shutter and close up?
	San Francisco is the poster city for left-wing ideals, and it is demonstrating in real time
	the inevitable consequences of those ideals."
	End quote.
	That's for sure.
	But this is, as I say, this is just flabbergasting.
	Two major hotels right in downtown, they're just going to shutter and close up?
	Wow.
	Well, you know, there are strange doings all around the country.
	This is a story from Florida.
	Rather eye-opening, a certain Alicia Moore, an African-Americaness, age 24.
	She left her children, ages two and four, inside a car while she went into a Dillard's department store at the Oviedo Mall in Oviedo, which is just northeast of Orlando.
	Well, she spent an hour Browsing the racks, shoplifting.
	But then there was a bit of a surprise when Moore's car, in which she had left her children, which the police later learned was stolen, suddenly burst into flames right outside the Dillard's department store.
	Officials say that Alicia Moore had left either a lighter or matches inside the car, which the children played with and started a fire.
	Well, I guess, you know, she was thinking ahead.
	You know, when you leave your children alone, you've got to give them something to play with.
	And matches are a whole lot more fun than crayons.
	Well, city officials in Oviedo have shared video footage of the blaze that was recorded by a nearby parked Tesla.
	Does every Tesla have a dash cam?
	Maybe it does, in case this one appears to have.
	They do.
	I believe they do, yes.
	Wow.
	Well, the clip shows the fire starting inside the car before very quickly spreading Shattering the windows with ferocious flames leaping out on them.
	I've seen this video.
	It is really dramatic.
	The thing is that absolute total fireball.
	Well, apparently the two young children were rescued by passers-by who rushed to their aid.
	Both children were taken to hospital, one suffering first-degree burns.
	Well, apparently when Moore, the mama, saw that everything was on fire, she dropped all her stolen items and sprinted away.
	But she was later arrested and charged with child neglect and arson.
	I guess they dropped the shoplifting charges.
	But, you know, it occurs to me, I guess that our African American fellow citizens have to do something to keep body and soul together while they wait for those reparations check to come in.
	So she was out doing her shopping.
	And my guess also is that social services will take away these children, and they may very well be fostered by loving white parents who will bring them up.
	One will be a black studies professor, and the other will be a diversity officer.
	So this is all going to end happily ever after.
	No, they'll find a wonderful home at the University of Connecticut, as we already understood to learn.
	They'll end up in faculty positions there.
	But what a thing!
	You steal a car, you leave your two-year-old and your four-year-old inside the car, go inside a department store, and spend an hour shoplifting, and you come home and the place is a ball of fire, and off you go.
	You don't even stop to try to rescue the children.
	You just bugger off.
	Well, that's America of today, ladies and gentlemen.
	But you'll be glad to know, Mr. Kersey, and I'm sure all of our listeners will be equally glad, that the Human Rights Commission, which is the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer civil rights movement, has announced expansion of its work, supported by a three-year, $5 million grant from Gilead Sciences Incorporated.
	And what's it going to do with this 5-minute?
	It's going to eradicate the stigma surrounding HIV in Black and Latine communities.
	Now, this is a new one on me, Mr. Kersey.
	I've heard of Latinx, but this is Latine, L-A-T-I-N-E, with an acute accent rising to the right over the E, Latine communities.
	And it's going to end the HIV epidemic by 2030.
	Yes!
	That's pretty ambitious $5 million, I think.
	But the team will engage community-based organizations, health departments, and private HIV service providers to divide a comprehensive benchmarking tool and define best practices, policies, and procedures to optimize HIV service provision for BIPOC LGBTQ plus communities.
	Benchmarking tool and best practices.
	That's going to cost five million dollars.
	They say, since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, racism and anti-LGBTQ plus discrimination have created dangerous hurdles for those seeking prevention or treatment.
	We will be able to continue providing critical resources to help overcome these hurdles, especially focusing on Black and Latina communities in the U.S.
	South.
	This partnership is an extension of Gilead's $3.2 million grant given to the HRC Foundation, that's Human Rights Campaign, in 2021.
	And with $5 million more over the next three years, this grant is the largest that the HRC has ever gotten.
	Gilead Sciences.
	Well, Gilead, as you probably know, is a biopharmaceutical company.
	It's a big one.
	In 2020, Gilead launched the Racial Equity Community Impact Fund.
	To support organizations tackling racial inequities affecting black communities across the United States.
	2020, that was an important year.
	Yes, it was.
	I don't need to explain to you why.
	And I don't doubt that George Floyd had something to do with it all.
	Now, I believe your favorite nonprofit and mine, the Southern Poverty Law Center, has been up to its usual tricks.
	With Moms for Liberty.
	Ooh, they've got a new group of individuals, predominantly white individuals, on their crosshairs.
	Yeah, the SPLC has put Moms for Liberty on the map with KKK chapters.
	This is from Post Millennial.
	The SPLC, which brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations as hate groups, Placing them on a map with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan added a slew of parental rights organizations to that hate map for 2022 and labeled them anti-government groups.
	Quote, schools especially have been on the receiving end of ramped up coordinated hard right attacks frequently through the guise of parents rights groups.
	The SPLC's Year in Hate and Extremism report claims, quote, these groups were in part spurred by the right-wing backlash to COVID-19 public safety measures in schools, but they have grown into an anti-student inclusion movement that targets any inclusion curriculum that contains discussion of race discrimination and LGBTQ identities, end quote.
	At the forefront of this mobilization is Moms for Liberty, a Florida-based group with vast connections to the GOP that this year the SPLC designated as an extremist group.
	They can be spotted at school board meetings across the country wearing shirts and carrying signs that declare, we do not co-parent with the government.
	I like that.
	I do too.
	Although I'm not keen on neologisms like co-parent, but anyway.
	The government is not my child's parent.
	No, that's right.
	Now, we all know the SPLC has long demonized conservative Christian groups such as the Alliance Defending Freedom as an anti-LGBT hate group, national security groups such as the Center for Security Policy as anti-Muslim hate groups, and immigration groups such as the Center for Immigration Studies as anti-immigrant hate groups.
	The SPLC's 2020 report released Tuesday includes a new designation, the Anti-Government Movement.
	Hate and anti-government groups make up the extreme edge of America's hard right, an inherently anti-democratic movement that rejects pluralism and identity.
	The SPLC report states, quote, the movement instead tries to build society dominated by
	hierarchy where people whom far rightists deem lesser or threatening women, black and brown
	people, LGBTQ people, non-Christians and others are socially and politically subjected. The hard
	right has the advantage of building on already existing structural white supremacy as well as
	its persistent and regular manifestations in everyday life and in politics, end quote.
	You know, Mr. Taylor, one of the things I think is going to happen this year is
	Elon Musk is going to tweet the wrong person.
	He already has in a lot of ways.
	What he did with broadcasting Richard Henania's fantastic article about black crime and just how bad it really is.
	I think he's going to retweet and amplify the voice of a group like a fantastic group, mind you, like this Moms for Liberty group.
	And then they're going to really get in the crosshairs.
	And I think I think at this point we're reaching, you know, we've talked about Elon Musk and his importance.
	If the richest man in the world, one of the most important men in the world who, you know, Who understands there's something wrong with the wokeness and what it's doing to hinder our future and the present.
	He's going to tweet something that's really going to cause the SPLC to go after him.
	And that's that moment in the sand type moment.
	Moment in the sand?
	You mean line in the sand?
	Line in the sand.
	I'm sorry.
	That's that.
	That's that.
	I was thinking of crossing the Rubicon.
	I was going to say when someone like Elon realizes When people like Ron DeSantis, when people in power, Trump, if he'd gone on Twitter, again, it just has to be, you can call me whatever name you want to.
	Our kids should not be sexualized.
	And if you want to call us a hate group, at what point do we say, so what?
	This doesn't bother us anymore because you hate us so much.
	Guess what?
	Well, I think the SPLC is increasingly being marginalized.
	They still have a lot of clout and all the big media still pay attention to them, but their influence is waning, partly because they have expanded their net of haters to such an absurd, ridiculous degree.
	In the meantime, there's a story about an immigrant who came to the United States from Afghanistan, opened a business in San Francisco, which you were just telling about, and he says it's worse than Afghanistan.
	The immigrant who goes only by the name of Zayed says that gangs had stolen more than $100,000 in merchandise and cash from his tobacco store.
	Cigarettes are cheaper.
	How many?
	I'm sorry, how much?
	$100,000.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I don't know what the time period is, but not one of them has been caught.
	He says the politicians need to get a grip on this because it's worse than Afghanistan or Iraq.
	At least in Afghanistan, the Taliban will cut your hand off.
	And people don't commit crimes like this!
	Look at that!
	Zaid says he sees stores all around him getting robbed nearly every day.
	He believes it's because the criminals know the police won't do anything.
	He sounds like a bright fellow.
	He said that seven criminals were once in his store for 20 minutes and left in two cars before the police arrived, although he called them just immediately.
	Now, here is yet another unusual crime A teenage girl from Mississippi has been taken into custody after confessing to engaging in sexual activity with two boys aged 10 and 14.
	Her name is Amiracle, spelled A-M-I-R-A-C-L-E.
	Amiracle Morgan, age 17, faces charges of sexual battery and rape.
	She allegedly performed sex acts in front of a group of children on Mother's Day.
	I think that's a perfect day for that sort of thing on a 10-year-old or 14-year-old, then certain that other children—this is quite a performance she was putting on—other children who saw this reported it to the police.
	But a Miracle's mother then rounded up other children in the neighborhood and acted as a gang to threaten to beat up And did beat up some of the people who spoke to the police about the incident.
	And now Mama 32 is charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and both are accused of assaulting another juvenile who exposed the alleged sexual crimes.
	Whoa, strange doings.
	That was in Mississippi.
	Well, gosh, our time is almost over, Mr. Kersey.
	Good grief, this happened so quickly.
	But ladies and gentlemen, please do send us your comments.
