Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm your host, Jared Taylor, with American Renaissance.
And with me is the indispensable and indefatigable co-host, Paul Kersey.
And last week, Mr. Kersey asked listeners if someone could gather up the statistics on the race and sex of the police chiefs in America's 50 largest cities.
And lo and behold, Kevin from Oregon came through with the numbers, and he gave us his permission to use his name.
So thank you, Mr. Kersey, and thank you especially Kevin from Oregon.
And we learned some interesting things.
Of the top 50 cities—this is by population—black men are 17 of them.
That's 34 percent.
Now, they make up just 6.5 percent of the U.S.
population, but at 34 percent, running the nation's biggest police departments, they clearly have an extraordinary talent for running police departments, and we see the fruits of their gifts every day.
Next largest is white men.
There are 14 of them at 28 percent.
Seven black females at 14 percent.
Three white women, 6 percent.
Eight Latinos at 16 percent.
And this was the surprise to me, one Egyptian man.
So if you add it all up, blacks are 48 percent of the police chiefs in America's 50 biggest cities.
48 percent!
You know, it's magical.
It's magical.
You're doing such a great job, as we all know.
Whites are 34%, and 16% are Hispanic.
It's interesting, Hispanics are pretty much at their actual percentage of the population.
Not a single Asian.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
If I were Asian, I'd be beefing.
Now, it's interesting to me, of the top 50, only five are women.
It does seem like, I'm sorry, only 5% are women.
But it does seem like there are more black women, and in any case, there are two and a half times as many black women as white women.
I'd say there's a kind of a magical thinking going on here, you know?
Everybody's just so desperate.
Oh, boy, we'll just have to appoint a black person.
Ah, and if possible, a black woman.
And boy, they'll just stop shooting each other.
You think that's part of it?
Yeah, I mean, it's just fascinating that you look at this, like you said, only one in five is a woman.
Three white women, seven black females.
Yeah, it's an extraordinary thing.
Point a black man and they'll just stop shooting each other.
But somehow it doesn't work, but they keep pointing them anyway.
Now, also... Actually, if I could jump in though, isn't that 20%?
I beg your pardon?
You said 5% were black, were female.
Isn't that 20%?
10%?
No, 14%, 14% are black women and 6% are white women, just for a total of 20%, 20%.
That's 1 in 5 are women.
Yes.
Did I, did I say something stupid?
It's entirely possible.
I think you may have said 5%.
I was just like, wait a second.
I'm trying to go back.
What's, what's interesting is just real quick, just so our listeners, I was actually, uh, did you get the, Yeah, our listener, by the way, we have the best listeners.
Thank you so much for even doing this for us, because this is such an amazing breakdown.
I was actually kind of shocked at the top 50 cities by population.
Well, I never thought about it enough to be shocked.
Well, it's just, you know, who would have thought if I could just say this, I was astonished to see that, you know, Memphis and Nashville are in the top 25.
I don't know if that counts the metropolitan area, but it's just, it's an interesting list.
And hopefully we can put together a story based on this and then actually get the corresponding police chief.
Let's look at the 12 top.
And you'll see, if you are talking about the number of people who are being policed by minorities, it is a very large number.
Yeah.
New York City is the most populous city in the country.
The current police chief is a Hispanic.
Los Angeles, number two.
Uh-oh, they made a terrible mistake.
There's a white man running the show, so I'm sure black people just to be shooting them, shooting each other lickety-split.
But the next couple of cities, Chicago, black man.
Houston, black man.
Philadelphia, black man.
Phoenix, a black woman.
Uh-oh, yes.
Now they made another big mistake in San Antonio.
Letting a white man do it.
Same thing in San Diego, white man.
But in Dallas, you know, Far cooler heads prevailed.
A Hispanic man is doing that.
Same in San Jose.
Hispanic man.
Austin, a black woman.
Jacksonville, a black man.
Look at that.
So in the top 12 cities, the biggest, most populous cities in the world, there are only three white people who are police chiefs.
You know, Mr. Taylor, this would be an amazing feature to have running at all times at AR to update the top, maybe, it doesn't have to be the top 50, you could do the top 25 cities and have a picture of the police chief, have a picture of the mayor, have the racial breakdown, but then most importantly, do they have a Soros-funded DA?
Well, that's a different matter.
We may talk about Soros-funded DAs in some detail at another time.
But, no, clearly, white men just are not up to the job.
That's all there is to it.
And even being replaced by white women, because white men are just such losers.
Now, the Egyptian in the top 50, I would never have guessed, he is running the Long Beach Police Department.
It just goes to show you never can tell.
He burst that papyrus ceiling.
Wow, he was a historic first and King Tut would be proud.
So in any case, thank you very much, Kevin from Oregon.
This is really interesting.
I mean, just to repeat that one statistic, 17 black men run among the top 50, 34%, despite the fact they're 6% of the U.S.
population.
They've just got that black woman magic.
Sorry, black man magic.
And another comment—I thought this was pretty interesting—this had to do with Ibram X. Kendi's Center for Antiracist Research, which has come under certain unwelcome scrutiny because where did the $43 million go?
Well, the listener does a back-of-the-envelope calculation.
He figures, probably including benefits, maybe $100,000 per employee.
And that's calculating 45 to 60 employees on the assumption that it started off with full staffing for three years, which is probably unlikely.
That comes out to about $4.5 to $6 million, even without Ibram's take, which must be substantial.
That's three years of operation.
Now, then, you've got to throw in some rent, university grift, limo rides, Wall Street-style hookers and cocaine, and you still don't come anywhere near to $43 million.
And it's not like science research with a lot of capital expenditures.
So, you know, our listener figures, they're $20 million missing.
Or maybe they're in the bank.
But the search for the missing millions go on.
I bet the Hardy Boys could find him in an afternoon, but Boston University never will.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
Who would have thought that Ibram Kendi's anti-racism institute wouldn't be in the black financially?
But anti-racist research is so expensive.
That's because they're looking for something that doesn't exist.
You really have to really look hard, hard, hard for that.
And here's another listener sent in a story about the Black Podcast Awards.
I never knew there was such a thing, but there's something called the Black Podcasting Awards, BP Awards, and just last month it bestowed 35 new rewards on 29 different podcasts.
And one of the guests, yep, yep, yep, 29 different podcasts, they collected 35 awards.
One of the guests at the ceremony is somebody named Akilah Tompkins Robinson.
She's the author of Girl, Get Visible.
Girl, Get Visible?
I don't think many black women have any difficulty at all being visible.
Some of them literally block the view, or audible for that matter.
But in any case, She says, black podcasting awards plays an important role in giving black podcasters a space where they can be celebrated and showcased on a level playing field for their hard work and talent without other biases into how they are evaluated.
Yeah, it's all black people.
They don't have to compete with anybody else.
Now, here are the names of some of the winning podcasts.
And you can see they're pretty black.
One is called Parenting for the Culture.
Then there is Black is America.
Now this is interesting.
Froot Loops.
Serial killers of color.
I wouldn't have expected that.
And I wouldn't have expected Froot Loops either.
But that is an award-winning black podcast.
Then there's one called Black Love, the interviews.
And then one is called Sis, Please.
Then there's one called You Didn't See Nothing.
I think it should have been I didn't do nothing, but it's called You Didn't See Nothing.
Then there's one called Chat Shit, the official rap shit podcast.
So there you go.
Now, I also understand that Ashanti Gholar's The Brown Girl's Guide to Politics continued her four year stretch of nominations plus three award wins.
So black podcasting is just doing great.
One last comment.
And this is quite interesting.
I don't follow Alex Jones, but one of our listeners does.
He says in hour two of his program last Friday, Alex Jones, for the first time to my knowledge, got angry and said he was sick of black people attacking whites.
And it was followed by five minutes of the clips that really turn your stomach of blacks assaulting whites simply because they've been taught to hate whites.
So that sounds like something of an interesting historic first.
So, on that note, alas, I'll talk about a few casualties that seem to be piling up in the undeclared war.
It just seems to have been a bad week for this.
Just within the last week, that noted white entrepreneur living in Baltimore, Pava LePere, she buzzed a black stranger into her secure building.
Because, after all, refusing to buzz a suspicious-looking black man who's waving at you through the glass, or, God forbid, calling the police, that can get a white girl called a Karen.
And Ms.
LePere was extremely woke, very, very conscious of such concerns.
She tweeted nothing but woke stuff about the need for black and brown equity.
Well, black and brown equity means being let into a building where you don't belong.
The two got into an elevator together and her badly beaten body was found on the roof of her building the next day.
Correct.
Ah, boy, a very sad story.
October 2nd, there is a surveillance video of Ryan Carson, age 32 and white, sitting on a bus stop bench in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
That is part of New York City.
Talking to his girlfriend, And they were on their way home from a wedding on Long Island.
And a man in a dark sweatshirt strolls by.
Suddenly he turns to Carson and he says, what the F are you looking at?
Apparently this surveillance video had audio too.
What the F are you looking at?
The assailant then grabs his jacket, knocks him to the ground, savagely stabs him several times in the chest, then walks away.
As the poor white victim lies curled up on the ground before returning and coming up to his terrified girlfriend, spits in her face, then kicks the mortally wounded Ryan Carson and walks away.
Another black-on-white, utterly unprovoked attack.
And on the same day, October 2nd, Christopher Wright, age 38, was in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Surveillance of the incident shows that the father of three—and he has an eight-week-old baby—he's talking to a certain person by the name of Roberts, age 57, and another man before he walks away.
Then Roberts walks up to him, fires a gun, unprovoked, right into Wright's head.
He died.
This Robert Sled has been arrested 66 times, but he was still walking around.
He was never in the big house for more than six months.
Six months.
There should be no human being in America who's been arrested 66 times.
Going back to the story from New York City, what's fascinating about that story, Mr. Taylor,
is that was 4 a.m.
Let me just give our listeners out there a tip of advice.
You know, this isn't Budapest.
This isn't Eastern Europe, where you are safe to be out.
You know, nothing good happens after midnight, ladies and gentlemen.
Don't be out after midnight, especially in a city like New York City.
That was a particularly gruesome.
Have you seen the whole video of that encounter?
You can't see the whole video because when he actually stabs him, there is a bleep and you jump to him curled up on the ground.
You can't see the whole video, at least unless I sure couldn't see the whole video.
But it's pretty awful.
The fact that it's 4 a.m.
in the morning.
I mean, that makes a difference, but I'm not sure that really counts because we got another story for you on October 1st.
Lenu Moore, another African-American fellow citizen, killed two whites, Jacqueline Bellini and Laval Harvin.
He shot them both in the head in front of Harvin's two children.
Broad daylight.
He also shot Bellini's dog, but he didn't shoot the children.
Gosh, maybe he ran out of bullets.
Who knows?
Well, this Moore guy had lived in the same apartment complex with this white lady, Bellini, but had tried to break through her door.
This was all on video.
Brought to smash in, and a judge issued an order of protection for Bellini and her family and forced Moore to move out of the apartment complex.
That was months ago, but Moore appears to have had a long memory and born a grudge and just came back and shot the two of them in broad daylight.
So, you know, Broad daylight ain't going to save you either.
Now, will anyone but dissidents like you and me and other wicked people notice a certain pattern here?
Nope.
Nope.
Have you seen any mainstream media?
No.
The mainstream media will talk about this, but they'll just sort of wring their hands and say, oh, the black assailant was clearly mentally disturbed.
Right.
And, you know, just as a footnote, I'm sure you are aware of this.
This is big news too.
Congressman Henry Cuellar.
He's never met an anti-policing bill.
He didn't like.
He's a Texas congressman, Democrat.
He was hijacked in Washington, D.C.
The press reported that his white Honda was recovered, but that the suspects were three men.
So they told you the race of the car, but not of the perps.
Of course, they didn't have to.
We know the race of the perps, even if we don't know the color of the car.
So there you go.
And these things just go on and on and on.
At least Kit Cuellar had three men point pistols at him, but nobody fired, and he got his car back.
So I guess it's considered a happy ending by standards of today.
You know, Mr. Taylor, there was a story, real quick, there was a story we didn't talk about a few weeks ago.
It was at Breitbart.
It was DC crime so dire that locals are afraid to walk places, go out at night.
This was published by John Bender, great reporter, on September 13th, 2023.
And it was it was a profile of a Washington Post piece where a handful of residents detail the precautions that they've started to take to avoid falling victim to the city's growing violent crime problem where murders are up almost 30 percent and Mr. Taylor, robberies have jumped nearly 70 percent since last year.
How nice.
How nice.
No wonder people are staying home.
You know, the feature at American Renaissance this week is going to be by one of our regular writers, Joseph K., about what it's like to live in New York City.
Just how?
Crime is one thing.
Fear of crime is yet another thing that never goes into statistics.
And it's exactly as you say about this.
People just stay home or they leave the city.
It's absolutely, absolutely horrifying, this degradation of American cities, of the whole American country.
But, Mr. Kersey, on the subject of police and how they respond, the Minnesota Police Department is going to solve the problem by avoiding misgendering.
I mean, that would just stop black people from shooting us and each other.
Wow, it's just going to be great.
Let's hope so.
But I'd like to put an asterisk on the story of Ryan Thorson Carson in New York City.
Did you see the Daily Mail piece where Brooklyn activist Ryan Thorson Carson would feel sorry for a violent teenager who stabbed him to death and think of him as a victim of a broken system, said his friends?
Well, great.
I guess he hopes that the guy's never caught, you know, never goes to jail.
And, you know, he can he can rack up 60 arrests before anything ever happens to him, too.
Yes, these these people.
You know, I hate to say they bring it on themselves, but it is a temptation to say so.
But tell us how the Minneapolis police are going to solve this problem.
Well, I'm getting there.
I apologize.
My computer is going relatively slow as I'm scrolling down to the bottom here because we have so many stories to talk about.
I did want to pose a question to you.
You know, those stories were pretty gruesome of all those individuals.
Is this a religion?
I mean, can they be, uh, can they ever, can liberals, white liberals ever see their worldview shattered in this manner?
Or do they have to, do they have to all die?
It's a terrible, it's a difficult question to ask, but.
I don't think they all have had to die.
And I've told this story over and over again, but Asheville, North Carolina, they fired half the police in the middle of the BLM madness.
And then two years later, they hired them back.
They said, we goofed.
It was a mistake.
We love you, police.
Come back.
So that's my happy ending story as to the idea that liberals are not permanently insane, that the facts can change their minds.
But that's the only city I know where that's happened.
That's your only anecdote.
That's my only anecdote.
My only hopeful anecdote.
Yes, liberalism otherwise seems to be a permanent, absolutely mortal disease, certainly in the case of these poor people.
Exactly.
But yeah, I'm dying to hear about the MPD.
Here we go.
Minnesota Police.
I hope you're not dying.
I'm dying.
I'm dying.
And there's not even a gun pointed to my head.
Yeah, the Milwaukee Police Department has changed its policy to no longer share a crime victim's gender or race with the public.
It comes after instances of police misgendering victims in the transgender community.
As a member of the LGBT community and a Milwaukee Police Department LGBTQ liaison, Sergeant Guadalupe Velasquez, that's a really, you know, Who found Milwaukee?
It was a bunch of socialists from, from what part?
Germans?
Is that primarily a German town, Milwaukee?
I thought it was Milwaukee.
Yeah, I think German.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sounds like a good German name.
I said Minneapolis, didn't I?
Yeah, it's Milwaukee.
Okay.
Even, in some ways, an even goofier town.
Milwaukee actually is majority black, about 40% black, 37% white.
So this is, this fits the, This fits everything perfectly.
So she's approached... One second here as I'm looking at this.
They have a specific LGBTQ liaison officer?
I'm sure most of the top 50 populated cities, Mr. Taylor, have dedicated staff to not only DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, but also to the LGBTQ community, because there's a lot of companies that they can shake down to make sure that they're compliant with that mission.
So, this individual asked for a policy change after the department misgendered a crime victim who was transgendered back in May.
Quote, we don't want to make a traumatic experience for a family worse, she said.
Do you think misgendering transgender victims in the past has hurt the LGBT community?
A reporter from TMJ4, Ben Jordan, asked.
And she replied, since Sergeant Velasquez said this, quote, Based on the conversations I had, yes.
It was something that was a topic that led to some uncomfortable conversations for me where some of the organizations were like, we're not willing to work with the police department because clearly you don't have respect for us.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
If you misgender, if you call a man, a woman or a woman, a man and get it wrong and they can say, okay, we don't care if you don't find the murderer.
We're not going to work with you?
Yep.
Okay.
After consulting with leaders in the LGBT community, Sgt.
Guadalupe says the department acknowledged the problem and came up with a solution.
This week, the Milwaukee Police Department notified the media it will no longer share a victim's gender or race.
Quote, I think the biggest thing is the department wants to make sure we're always being respectful, she said.
Kathleen Bartizan Culver is a University of Wisconsin-Madison Journalism School Director and an expert on media ethics.
Quote, There's a difference from the public needing to know and the public wanting to know, she said.
She thinks the policy change is the right move for breaking news situations, but believe it could also prevent the community from learning about critical crime trends.
Quote, Are women more at risk to be crime victims?
Are men more at risk?
Are transgender folks more at risk?
So those long-term stories, that's where we definitely need to be able to dive into the data and look for trends, look for things that ought to concern us as citizens.
Well, of course, Mr. Taylor, Milwaukee—oh, go ahead.
Not anymore.
Can't look into those trends anymore.
They're not going to tell you.
But my question, though, is, are they going to tell you the sex and race of the perp?
I guess they're going to start saying, well, we don't know if it was a man or a woman.
We don't know if it was black or white or green, but a human being actually murdered another human being.
At least we think it was a human being.
Might have been a dog in disguise, but we just don't know.
Could have been a human identifying as a dog.
Yeah, it might be a mis-speciesing, not just a mis-gendering.
The possibilities are endless.
I think the police should just shut up completely.
Well, here's the weird thing.
Here's what this article continues to say.
Crimes against the transgender community have been on the rise nationally and locally.
Within the past year and a half, three transgendered women have been killed in Milwaukee.
Now, Mr. Taylor, I bet if one of our intrepid listeners looked this up, they would find that the three, quote unquote, transgendered women, the dudes, you know, dressed up as a woman, were probably murdered by blacks.
Uh, you know, we see this happen a lot where a black guy probably picks up a male prostitute who's dressed as a woman and finds out, Hey, that's a, that's a, that's a 10 pen down there.
And they end up shooting them.
I mean, this is, I, if there was a database on this, I think you'd be shocked at the, at the rate in which transgendered women, you know, men dressed as, uh, women are murdered by, by blacks.
Well, It's not necessarily, I think that's probably true and I wouldn't be shocked at all, but I bet a lot of them are killed by
Other sexually confused people.
It's not just ordinary folks walking around saying, wow, uh oh, there's a freak.
I'm going to kill that freak.
No, I don't think that ever, that happens hardly at all.
And that's what it, yeah.
Um, it's, it's just a weird situation.
I do remember probably about six years ago, maybe seven years ago, there was an article done that noted the, the rate in which it was, I think every suspect in it, cause there was a, This might have been 2015-2016.
There were a number of high-profile transgendered individuals murdered across the country, and in each one there was a black suspect.
And it's, again, it's like, oh, this community is being targeted.
Well, it's like, not really.
Who's doing the targeting?
Well, did you know that the Michigan Supreme Court apparently agrees with the Milwaukee PD?
Because it has decided to require judges and court personnel to address transgender-identifying litigants or lawyers with their preferred pronouns.
Now, some of these are absolutely freakish.
I mean, some of the Z, Zim, Zer, and Zis, Ver, Vis, Ver, N, Ns, and Self.
I mean, if I say, OK, I'm Zee, Zir, Zins, and Zay, then they got to put that in their heads and refer to me that way.
It also says this is the Michigan Supreme Court, so they ought to know.
Courts must use the individual's name, the designated salutation, and personal pronouns.
The designated salutations, I like that.
If I'm ever before the Michigan Supreme Court, well this isn't just, I don't know if this applies to all the lower courts, but I think my designated salutation is going to be Your Royal Highness.
Or maybe, I don't know, Your Holiness.
That's my designated salutation.
Or because, you know, I'm the president of our non-profit, the New Century Foundation, so I think I would insist on being addressed as Mr. President.
Don't you think that'd go down well?
I'd say answer, I'd say Monster Presidente.
Oh yes, El Senor, El Senor Dictador.
Dictador Presidente.
But speaking of people titles, as we know, La Fonza Butler has a new title.
And you know, we rarely run anything from the Babylon Bee as a news item.
But this story virtually ceases to be satire.
And it goes like this.
After being caught off guard by criticism of his selection of LaFonza Butler to replace Dianne Feinstein in Congress, California Governor Gavin Newsom defended his choice by saying Butler was the most qualified candidate among the 0.00001% of the population he was choosing from.
Of all seven people who fit my criteria, she was the best, he said.
Listen, I cast a very wide net in order to find the most qualified black lesbian political activist who lives in another state that I possibly could.
All things considered, LaFonza was the standout candidate.
Apply.
It truly gives people of California confidence.
The very best candidate has been selected.
Now, that was something that a lot of the original stories didn't even point out.
She doesn't even live in California, but she can represent the California people.
In other words, you could appoint a Martian to be senator from California.
It could be anybody at all.
Maybe a German.
You know, I think they'd do well.
No, that might not be good.
You know, Germans are untrustworthy.
But speaking of Germany, and we, you know, we've got so many stories to get through.
God, A reader said in this piece of good news, the far right, as they call it, Alternative für Deutschland is polling ahead of the other three parties that make the country's governing coalition.
And the number one issue is immigration.
The AFD, Alternative für Deutschland, is polling between 19 and 23 percent nationally, according to eight different polls.
When people are asked, who would you vote for if a federal election popped up just this weekend?
And AFD comes in well ahead of the three parties that are in the current coalition.
That's the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Free Democrats.
And just in June, AFD, for the first time, won control of a district council in the eastern town of Sonnenberg in Thuringia, and many are looking to see whether other constituencies will follow suit.
I bet they will.
Congratulations.
Yes, congratulations, AFD, and thank you, listener, for sending us this piece of excellent news.
Now, let's see.
Uh-oh.
I think, Mr. Kersey, That you have figured out something about how people get these strange... Obesity.
Obesity is caused by racism, right?
Doesn't it change the way the brain works?
I know you'd love this story.
This is from NBC News.
Discrimination may disrupt how the brain and the gut talk to each other, raising the risk of obesity.
What language do they speak?
You know, Ebonics?
When the brain and the gut talk to each other.
Oh, dear.
I should let you tell your story.
There's a click.
I'm not sure there's there's some sort of communication taking place.
I'm not sure if we can discern the language.
Nevertheless, more than 100 participants underwent brain scans and had their gut bacteria measured in order to study the effects of discrimination.
And as we said, this new study believes that the disruption, the researchers say, could promote behaviors that increase people's risk of obesity.
The study was published this past Monday in the journal Nature Mental Health.
It included more than 100 participants, mostly women, who filled out questionnaires to gauge their experience of discrimination in their day-to-day lives.
The participants then underwent brain scans as they were being shown pictures of sugary and fatty foods, such as cake and ice cream, along with pictures of lower sugar and low-fat foods like fruit and salad.
They also provided, lovely here, fecal samples to the researchers.
What?
They provided what?
Fecal samples.
Fecal samples?
Okay, sorry.
I shouldn't have asked.
Okay.
Yeah, so they could study their gut micros.
In individuals who reported experiencing high levels of discrimination, the photos of unhealthy high-calorie food triggered a larger response in the reward processing region of the
brain called the frontal straddle region. This part of the brain
is also involved motivation and executive control.
That heightened response can lead people to reach for sugar and high-fat foods,
the researcher said.
Now sugar is highly addictive and often craved by people undergoing stress
including from discrimination as a means to provide comfort, said
Arpena Gupta, an associate professor in residence of medicine at the UCLA
David Geffen School of Medicine and senior author of the study.
When you're feeling sad and you're feeling upset, what do you see on TV?
That girl going to grab that tub of ice cream, Gupta said.
It's interesting that when we're stressed, we crave these foods.
We go for these foods for comfort.
Does race play a role, the article asks.
The new study didn't look at links between discrimination and race and ethnicity.
However, Gupta's previous research has found differences in how the brain and gut respond to discrimination.
On the race and ethnicity of the individual.
I believe we've actually talked about this before.
This is why this reminded me that name sounded familiar.
It's a 2022 study that Gupton and her colleagues reported among black and Hispanic individuals, discrimination was linked to changes in the brain associated with the psychological coping and increased inflammation.
While in white people, discrimination was linked to anxiety, but not inflammation.
Among Asian individuals, the study found a link between discrimination and behavioral changes.
Now, in an ideal world, Gupta said, the best way to address the risks presented in the study is to fight discrimination through policy changes.
I don't think discrimination is going to go away, she said.
I don't think it's going to go away in my lifetime.
I don't think it's going away in my kid's lifetime.
So what we need to do in the interim is to do other things that can help us cope better with discrimination.
And then it goes on to talking about how non-white, how black and Hispanic people should be eating anti-inflammatory foods.
And having probiotics can also help gut health.
But again, according to the study, you know, white people, they face, you know, discrimination leads to anxiety, not inflammation.
I'm actually surprised that she even said that whites could face discrimination.
Yeah.
So that's fascinating.
Fascinating little article.
I don't know what there is to it, but again, it's... So racism rewires black people's brains and makes them fat.
Makes them exchange insults between brain and gut.
Boy, racism is just furious stuff, isn't it?
It has the ability to alter one's physical manifestation just due to what they experience.
Like you said, the brain and the gut are communicating and it sounds like it has come to some sort of fisticuffs, so not fun.
Wow.
And it's all your fault and my fault.
All white people's fault.
And of course, while we're on the subject of health, how about racism causing non-whites to have higher rates of sexually transmitted disease?
Is that possible?
I'm sure it must.
Someone will figure it out somehow.
But in the meantime, we've got some mighty disturbing numbers, Mr. Kersey.
I'm sure racism is there somewhere making it happen.
Apparently, between 2016 and 2020, there's been an 11% increase in reported cases of STDs.
53% are reported in people age 15 through 24.
At ages 20 to 24, they are the ones likely to have the highest rates of these sexually transmitted diseases.
There are some interesting sex and race differences.
Chlamydia.
Women are twice as likely to have it.
Gonorrhea—men are 1.4 times more likely.
In the case of syphilis, men are four times more likely.
And that's the same across all age groups—four times more likely.
We'll see, perhaps, why that is in just a moment.
Now, when it comes to race, I will give you the multiples of the white race—of the white rate, I should say.
When it comes to chlamydia, blacks are six times more likely to have it.
American Indians, three and a half times.
Hispanics, twice as likely.
Asians, half as likely.
Gonorrhea, blacks are nine times more likely.
American Indians, four and a half times more likely.
Hispanics, 1.6 times more likely.
Asians, again, half as likely.
Syphilis, blacks five times as likely.
American Indians, four times as likely.
Hispanics, twice as likely.
Asians, Only 70% dislike.
Now, do we see a pattern, ladies and gentlemen?
Because you are such a smart guy, Mr. Kersey, you see a pattern.
But there seems to be pretty consistent blacks, American Indians, Hispanics, Asians, and then white people, and then Asians.
Now, this is something that was interesting in a different sort of way.
43% of the cases of syphilis were found in men who have sex with men.
Now, How much more likely than heterosexuals are men who have sex with men to have syphilis?
For that, you have to know the exact number of men who have sex with men, but it's hard really to get firm numbers on this.
One estimate from dating from 2016, the state with the lowest percentage of men who have sex with other men was 1.4%.
The highest was Rhode Island, 6%.
6% of the men have sex with other men.
In San Francisco, 18.5% of the men walking around reportedly have sex with other men.
In New York City, 14%.
Denver, 10%.
And Portland, likewise, 10%.
So, let's say 4% of men have sex with other men.
As it turns out, men account for 80% of all syphilis cases.
That means 43% of all cases are reported by 4% of the men, and 37% reported by heteros.
Now, simple arithmetic—and I bet probably about 80% of our listeners probably cannot do these numbers.
It's surprising how simple arithmetic escapes people.
I hope I'm not insulting people unnecessarily.
This works out to the fact that Men who have sex with men are about 28 times more likely than heterosexual men to have syphilis.
But I'm sure homophobia is at the root of this somehow, wouldn't you reckon?
I feel like you need to wash my hands after this conversation.
Well, your hands are probably clean.
Mr. Kersey, I would be very surprised if your hands really need washing.
I guess our minds need washing after this.
Maybe give me some Listerine for the brain.
Yes, yes.
Well, you know, you're going to need something else for the brain after this story.
This has to do with a fellow by the name of Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass Moorfield Jr.
Note the first two names, Frederick Douglass.
That's all you need to know.
to guess his ethnicity.
He's 62.
He is the Pentagon's Deputy Chief Information Officer for Command, Control, and Communications.
Well, it turns out he ran a dogfighting ring for many years.
In a search of his home, the FBI discovered five pit bull-type dogs kept in small metal cages in a windowless room in his basement.
Also, agents observed apparatus used for involuntarily inseminating female dogs.
So this guy was a dog rapist and breeder.
Investigators also found, and this is really, this turns your stomach, a device consisting of jumper cables attached to an electric plug used to electrocute a dog after losing a fight.
The ends were covered in dog hair and blood.
This guy was deputy chief information officer for command control and communications in the Pentagon.
He conspired with associates to plan dogfights.
He referred to his female dogs as hoes.
I guess that's the closest he came to treating them like human beings.
Several of the fights lasted for an hour, some of his dogs killing their competitors.
He can get a maximum sentence of guess how much?
What's the maximum?
Fifteen years.
Only five.
Only five, so one-third, wow.
Yeah, yeah.
No, you can just do whatever you like with dogs, make them fight each other, electrocute them if they lose, inseminate them against their wills.
Of course, artificial insemination is probably always against their will.
But, you know, my question is, why are these dogfighting-winged people always black?
Mexicans seem to love cockfighting, but it seems like blacks just love to make dogs fight each other.
What was his title there at the Pentagon again?
Okay, this guy was Deputy Chief Information Officer for Command, Control, and Communications.
He's been at the Pentagon for a long time.
I saw a photograph of him.
His uniform was just covered with ribbons, but these days you can just sit and twiddle your thumbs and it seems like you get a ribbon.
In any case, big deal at the Pentagon, and the Pentagon will not comment on personal matters, so we don't know if he is still Deputy Chief Information Officer.
I wonder if you'll retire with full pension benefits.
In the meantime, Indianapolis apparently has found the secret to stop blacks from shooting each other.
Good news!
Good news, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's hear all about it, Mr. Kersey.
According to a University of Michigan study, there was a nearly 12% decline in homicides in the 36 areas where abandoned lots were turned into green spaces.
The study was led by the University of Michigan School of Public Health in partnership with the non-profit Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, shows that transforming a vacant space into a gathering space for the community helps keep crime down.
The group looked at dozens of public spaces that were once vacant or abandoned but have since been transformed into community green spaces.
In contrast, the group looked at nearby sites where no improvements had been made.
Factors such as median household income, age, access to public transportation, and other social indicators were also considered.
I wonder if one of those social indicators was race.
Shut my mouth.
Shut my mouth.
No, no, no.
Impossible.
Yeah, no correlation.
The Shelton Heights Community Park was once an abandoned mobile home park.
It was torn down in 2016 and work on the park began in 2018.
The area was once plagued with crime, including drug dealing, prostitution, and gun violence.
Now that it has been transformed into community space, residents and community leaders said there has been a reduction in crime.
According to the University of Michigan study, there was a nearly 12% decline in homicides.
Homicides in the 36 areas where abandoned lots were turned into green spaces, 6% decline in non-fatal shootings, and an 8% overall decrease in violent crime.
I mean, that's not that big of a decrease in non-fatal shootings, but...
Everything, everything helps, you know?
Every life saved.
But yeah, carry on, carry on.
It might even have an effect.
It's like broken window policing.
If the place is a real dump and you see these photographs and you see these videos of black neighborhoods, gosh, I mean, it makes you want to go out and stab somebody living in a place like that, I think.
But turn it into a green park rather than this horrible garbage filled dump, well, might make a difference.
Yeah, I quote, when you give We already know statistically and anecdotally that when properties are derelict, when properties are neglected, they become magnets for violent crime, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said.
When you give people, when you give hope to a community and neighborhood, you will see reductions in crime, you will see a reduction in prostitution, IMPD Deputy Chief Kendall Adams said.
You will see a reduction in violent acts.
So yeah, I guess, I guess without hope, people just automatically Go to prostitution.
Go to pulling out a gun.
Well, I guess if you've got a green space, you've got to sniff trees rather than buy a hooker.
There will be no shade equity.
You're right.
And there won't be a heat island.
Debbie Parrish said she has lived in the neighborhood almost her entire life.
In 2010, she noticed an uptick in crime in the area and decided something needed to be done about it.
She started a crime watch group for the neighborhood and worked with city officials to get the old mobile home park torn down.
It just takes getting involved.
This here is a miracle, and yes, I'm passionate about it.
There are currently 60 green spaces affiliated with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.
These spaces are managed by people in the neighborhood with the help of grants.
You know, of course, probably the best way to keep a community safe is just to ensure that the black population is less than, I think, 5%.
There was a study done that when a city goes over 10% black, that's when people start to move out of the neighborhood.
I'm sorry, of community or neighborhood.
I can't remember where.
I've got this cited somewhere, but a sociologist found that number out that when a neighborhood gets to about 10 percent, that's the tipping point where white people say, huh, I think this is over.
So wait a minute, Mr. Kersey, did you use the expression with the help of grants?
Is that part of the story?
That is part of the story.
Oh, OK.
Well, so white people have to come to the rescue after all.
They don't come up with these ideas themselves.
Or then maybe they come up with the ideas, but they don't get it together to do it.
They need grants.
White people have to help them grow these green things.
You and I have had to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and we've had to replace trees or shrubs or bushes or put in sod.
It's not cheap.
In fact, I'm doing that right now.
I just actually had to put down seed and peat moss in my front yard.
And that's a laborious process.
Well, that will keep down the shootings, I'm sure.
Don't let elephant grass.
Yeah, I mean, if there's elephant grass out there, people can hide in it and take pot shots at each other.
So yeah, you're cutting down on crime, Brother Kersey.
Well, green space.
You know, as I say, there might be something to that.
That, as I say, living in just a clapped out, ugly, horrible, rundown place with old refrigerators and things tossed about, that might put you in the mood to be violent.
But it's, you know, white man's got to pay for it.
Those grants.
I think that's the most important fact in that whole story.
White people get to pay for it.
Now moving along to Minnesota.
Another case of, maybe that's why I thought it was Minnesota in that earlier story.
I had Minnesota on my mind.
Everything you see comes out of Minnesota.
We know that.
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
You're right.
And I thought, you know, if it decided you can't name the sex of people because you might get the sex wrong, that just sounds like so Minnesota.
I just had a convention to start.
In any case, the Star Tribune headline from October 2nd reads like this.
Targets closings because of crime protect its profit But at expense of communities and customers.
Uh-oh.
Retailers cutting their losses in big cities already facing post-pandemic challenges is yet another hurdle for major downtowns hoping to re-establish their vitality, says the article.
Target celebrated in 2010 when it opened its East Harlem location.
You were talking about this just last week.
This is its first permanent store in Manhattan after years of courting and anticipation from locals.
They begged them to come in.
Please, please, target us with a store.
But now the Harlem Target will close October 21st.
Now, what does New York Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs say?
He says, all East Harlemites deserve to live near convenient, affordable, healthy grocery stores.
He says Target served as an economic anchor, employing over 200 people and providing invaluable and affordable food choices.
With last week's announcement, East Harlem residents must leave their neighborhoods and spend money outside their communities to feed their families.
Oh, that nasty company, Target.
And here is Myra Shallon, age 34, who's lived in Harlem almost four years and said Target was a staple in the neighborhood.
A staple?
Can you eat?
Target?
It just feels to me on an intuitive level that the closing is pretty targeted against the people who shop there and whether they are people of color.
Good grief.
Well, you know, I was happy to see that the commenters on this story were not fooled one bit.
Comment after comment after comment.
Stop stealing.
Come on.
Target's closing because of crime protects its profits, but at the expense of communities and customers.
The commenters are all saying, hey, what's there?
What are they supposed to do?
Sell little laws?
Sell little laws?
And all the stuff about food deserts.
It's just so ridiculous.
But again, I am delighted that the commenters saw through all of that, not fooled one bit.
Yeah, keep your hands off the merchandise, fella.
Pay for it, maybe, and the store will stay.
The store will be profitable, and you will live.
Yes?
Go ahead.
I mean, Mr. Taylor, this was such a fascinating find last week, as you and I were doing the
podcast, even see that the New York Times did this long story where the residents of
Harlem begged Target for nine years for them to build a store.
And now, of course, we talked about how last week this is going to devastate communities
of color, primarily black and brown people.
Well, as a Target shareholder, I'd like to point out that the market cap for Target is
down $30 billion.
Now, a lot of that is due to the backlash of the whole transgendered bathing suit stuff
and people just saying they won't shop there anymore.
But they have said in their quarterly reporting that I think they had $200 million worth of inventory stolen.
You can't sustain that for, you know, for four quarters.
You're talking about close to a billion dollars of inventory stolen.
That's kind of hard to write off.
Well, you have to write it off.
You have to run, no, no, no, no, no, no, but it's hard to, it's hard to,
because then you have to put, one of the most fascinating things
is when you go into a store, you live in Northern Virginia,
but when you go into a store in an area that is diverse and just the items that are now behind plexiglass
or that have protection, like normally, 20 years ago, you'd go into a store
and you'd have to have a CD.
This shows you how different the world is, but you'd have to have some sort of protective thing
on the CD when you checked out, there'd be a little key
that they'd pull that little thing off.
Now you've got just household items like Tide or primarily black people's hair.
Branded merchandise.
It's amazing.
And you can just go five to 10 miles where I live to go from a white enclave
to an area that is heavily minority.
and you want to leave right away because there's an.
Different feeling in the store.
It's a little bit more run down, but then you see the products that are behind, that are encased in these individual plastic things that have to be, you know, that are there for theft proof.
Mr. Kersey, I understand some of them are actually locked up.
Does that mean if you want to put a box of Tide in your cart, you got to go track somebody down with a key and he unlocks the place and then you get your box of Tide?
Is that how it works?
Yeah, you have to basically have this brought on.
What a delightful shopping experience.
I don't get out much.
I just don't see that.
Sorry.
Well, again, you can order from Amazon, but at some point the question's got to become, Are there going to be any big box stores left, or are you just going to have to have Costco or a BJ's or a Sam's Club membership to be able to go to Target?
At what point does Target sit down and the higher-ups say, we need to have a subscription model service?
This doesn't make any sense anymore.
No, they're just going to do exactly what they're doing now.
The stores in white areas or maybe Asian areas and probably there's some Hispanic areas
Places where you don't lose half the inventory to shoplifting And where you you know people are not going to come in with
guns and beat up the employees They'll leave those stores open, but they'll just have to
close the others Pretty simple. I don't think it'll all disappear. They'll
just disappear from places where they can't make a profit That's a free market for you. Well in america, that's going
to be increasingly everywhere as we see the demographics.
So Well, but you know, uh this
This this crazy headline. It's written by some woman, by the way
I'm gonna be that's a sexist observation, I suppose but where it says targets closings because of crime protect its
profit But at the expense of communities and customers
It reminds me of a fellow by the name of Fox Butterfield.
He used to write for the New York Times, and he wrote headlines for stories that read like this.
More inmates despite drop in crime.
Number in prison grows despite crime reduction.
And crime keeps falling, but prisons keep on filling.
For him, it was a mystery.
He couldn't figure it out.
Gosh, how can you have more inmates and less crime?
But I guess that's what happens to you when you go to Harvard, the way Fox Butterfield did.
I don't know.
When are they going to learn?
When are they going to learn?
As I say, I have my one encouraging anecdote.
Maybe, maybe one of our listeners will send us another encouraging anecdote about liberals actually learning.
And in fact, while we've got the time, Mr. Kersey, I think we should tell people how to reach us.
There are two different ways.
And one way that works perfectly is to go to amren.com.
A-M-R-E-N dot com.
Hit the contact us tab and send me any correction, because we hate making mistakes.
And if we make mistakes, we want them corrected.
Things we should cover, any observations you have, please send them.
And the other way to get to us is?
Yeah, shoot me an email, ladies and gentlemen, at becausewelivehereatproton.me.
Once again, becausewelivehereatproton.me.
And yeah, we really love any stories you send, any ideas, and we really appreciate the contribution
from our listener in Oregon who sent over that really impressive data that shows just
how overrepresented.
The power of melanin just makes them such good police officers.
female police who can become the police chiefs for their departments in their cities, really,
what that represents.
So the power of melanin just makes them such good police officers.
Meanwhile, in Britain, more than 10,000 black British people were surveyed for research.
And while 45 percent of those under 25 said they regarded Britain as their permanent home,
45 percent, 39 percent indicated that they hope to live elsewhere in the future.
Thank you.
Lester Holloway, editor of The Voice—this is a black newspaper that conducted a poll—said this study should be a wake-up call for Britain.
We have many fourth-generation black Brits And they should be feeling part of this country.
Remember, 45% of the under-25s, they may be fourth generation.
Their parents have been there a long time.
But the editor of the Black Newspaper says, the lived experience of racism in every area of life is leading many to not feel British.
We cannot keep ignoring racial disparities and its impact.
80% of those polled believed racial discrimination was either definitely or somewhat the biggest barrier to young black people's academic attainment.
Colonialism and historically racist immigration policies are reasons contributing to their responses.
But in the meantime, we don't have much time, but I guess Britain was infected by Confederates, just the way Confederates infected all the United States after they were defeated.
You know, Mr. Taylor, why don't we save this one until next week?
Because this is actually an amazing story, and it's a longer piece, and I think that we like to keep it at an hour.
We're concise.
Very good.
We'll just tease our audience with the power of Confederate racism.
Boy, it just spreads like oil.
Yeah.
Wow, you kill them in the battlefield, you destroy their plantations, you destroy their livelihood, but gosh, they get everywhere and they infect the whole country.
I will read the opening line for the tease.
Okay.
The Confederate diaspora.
It continues.
It will forever.
It will forever and ever.
Well, let's just have a brief talk about our crazy Pope.
racial inequities in labor, housing, and policing, researchers wrote.
It continues, it will forever, it will forever and ever.
Well, let's just have a brief talk about our crazy Pope.
Pope Francis, last week, he condemned belligerent nationalisms
and called for a pan-European response to migration across the Mediterranean where thousands have drowned.
He said, there's a cry of pain that resonates and it is turning the Mediterranean, the Mare Nostrum,
into the Mare Mortium.
Now, the Mare Nostrum, that means our sea.
That's what the Romans called it.
And it pretty much was theirs.
You know, they controlled the whole coast all the way around it.
And Mare Mortium means the sea of death.
He says, it's now a graveyard of dignity.
It is filled with the stifled cry of migrant brothers and sisters, and he called for an ample number of legal and regular entrances of migrants with emphasis on accepting those fleeing war, hunger, and poverty, rather than on preservations of one's own well-being.
So, Mr. Kersey, if you're concerned about your own well-being and that of your family, ooh, Pope Francis says no good.
I think he's pretty concerned about his well-being.
He lives in one of the fanciest clubhouses in the world.
But he points out about 178,500 migrants have come to Europe via the Mediterranean this year, and about 2,500 died or went missing.
And Francis called on people to hear their cries of pain.
How greatly we need this at the present juncture, when antiquated and belligerent nationalisms want to make the dream of the community of nations fade.
Belligerent nationalism.
I think you and I suffer from belligerent nationalism.
And he called their exclusion scandalous, disgusting, and sinful.
You and I are scandalous, disgusting, and sinful, and so are the people who vote for the AFD, and so are all the people who want fewer immigrants, which is a majority of Europeans.
A majority of Europeans are scandalous, disgusting, and sinful.
And I think, gosh, you know, we're going to have hardly any time at all.
But I will point out, the latest Miss Universe selected by Zimbabwe turns out to be a white woman.
Very attractive white woman.
Very pretty.
And she competed alongside the first and second runners-up with names such as Mamanda Mpufu and Nokutenda Marumbwa.
And of course, Zimbabwe was filled, as was American black Twitter, with all sorts of horror at this.
Tragic and disappointing, says one black.
My ancestors rolling in their graves.
I bet they'd be rolling in their graves.
All those beautiful, melanated women, and you're telling me a European woman won the contest for black people?
That's not my pick.
That's not my Mrs. Zimbabwe, says one.
Leave me the fuck, F-A-W-K, alone.
Anyway, that was the response they got.
So, we have come to the end of our hour, and ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for your attention.
It is our pleasure and our honor, and it is very edifying for us to spend this time with you, and we hope and pray we will do so next week and that you'll be with us.
