Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
I'm Jared Taylor, your host.
I'm with American Renaissance.
And with me, of course, is the indefatigable and indispensable Paul Kersey.
And as usual, we will start with comments from listeners.
This listener sends greetings from Scandinavia.
He writes, last episode, you discussed the possibility of Palestinian resettlement to the West.
I thought I'd share some crime statistics from Denmark about the 321 Palestinian immigrants who settled in 1992 due to a new immigration law passed that year.
I guess they just jumped right on it and in they came.
Well, from 1992 until 2019, of those initial 321 Palestinians, 64% were convicted of a
crime.
55% live on social welfare.
Handouts.
Isn't that nice?
64% were criminals.
55% are layabouts.
Furthermore, these 321 Palestinians of 1992 have had 999 children.
Furthermore, these 321 Palestinians of 1992 have had 999 children.
Gosh!
Gosh.
Yes, that's more than three per.
And I guess if you're counting males and females, I guess that's an average of six per couple, if they even bothered
a couple.
Good grief, 999 children, of which 34% have been convicted of crime.
That's up until 2019.
Probably a lot of them are too young to be convicted of official crimes.
The source of this information is the Danish government's own data.
And our listeners sent us a PDF written in Danish, and I trust that all those numbers are there as he says.
They certainly appear to be.
And I must say, this reminds me of Buck v. Bell.
I'm sure you, Mr. Kersey, will remember that Supreme Court case, that famous case in which Oliver Wendell Holmes justified the sterilization of Carrie Buck by saying, three generations of imbeciles are enough.
I imagine it's going to get to the point where someone's going to have to say three generations of Palestinians are enough.
But I imagine we've probably gotten to that point.
Some of those 999 children probably have children of their own.
One generation of Palestinians is enough.
Yes, one generation of Palestinians is enough.
I hope and I hope and I hope that the West will not be flooded with Palestinians fleeing Gaza or anywhere else for that matter.
Here's another comment.
I heard your commentary last week about the Society of Magical Negroes.
That was your story.
I'm still baffled by this, but this caller, I'm sorry, this listener reminds us that sometime after Mr. Obama was elected president, a black writer wrote about Obama being the magic Negro who was supposed to perform miracles and assuage the guilt of whites.
Well, that, of course, is a miracle impossible to perform, even by Barack Obama.
It appears the guilt of whites cannot be assuaged, no matter how many loaves are turned into fishes.
Rush Limbaugh even advertised a spoof song by Paul Shanklin called Barack the Magic Negro.
And it was set to the melody of Puff the Magic Dragon and sung by an Al Sharpton impersonator.
Do you remember that song, by the way?
You know what?
I vaguely remember it.
It's pretty clever.
It's pretty clever.
It is sung by a guy who pretends to be Al Sharpton, and there's something about Al.
Al is just all envious because Barack Obama has slipped into this presidency because he's not from the hood.
Oh, poor Al just got left out.
He got horned out of the top spot by the Magic Negro.
In any case, our listener goes on to say, the term Negro is today considered derogatory, which is funny, because when I was a child of the 1960s, Negro was considered the decent way to refer to blacks, or those who are now referred to as African Americans.
Now, another comment.
Last week, a listener wrote about the joys of fostering children who needed homes.
He has since added what those joys were.
Watching the kids grow up and become successful is what I enjoyed most.
My teenager graduated from high school and the younger kiddo graduated from second grade and was later reunited with his family.
That seems to be the real happy ending.
My teenager completed a trade program, left for community college.
Both their grades improved a great deal after they were put into our care.
Good.
Having children, yes.
Having children also created a sense of community with other parents because children play together.
Like everything in life, raising children can be challenging, but it's also very rewarding.
Watching them achieve their goals and generally being happy is what I enjoyed most.
So, this listener is of course expressing the joys of parenthood in general,
but in his case he's talking about foster children, people, not even his own biological children.
And apparently he chose his children with some care and has done a great deal of good for other white people.
As he says, stick to your own and do your best and you can have the joys of parenthood.
So, good for him.
Here's another comment. I have a question.
I respect the right of Jews to have a Jewish state, but many of them are very hypocritical when it comes to us having a white nation.
Do you think more white Americans are realizing this in the face of the recent conflict?
Well, I suspect many of them are beginning to wonder.
Yes, it is entirely true.
But of course, it's not just Jewish Americans.
You have congressional leaders, the president, all the big people involved in American policy talking about the right to a Jewish state.
Well, why not a white state?
Excellent question.
A listener sent us a story which he calls Hesham A. Ayad, Jesse Smollett's separated at birth twin Palestinian brother.
This guy, Hesham, Reported to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR, as it's called in Cleveland.
It's another one of these busybody non-white groups that tries to couch everything in terms of what's good for the muzzies.
He reported in Cleveland that a driver ran him over with his car after shouting anti-Palestinian slurs.
According to the CAIR press release, Ayad was walking home after lunch.
A car stopped alongside him.
The driver, a white man, shouted, kill all Palestinians and long live Israel.
He then made a U-turn, came back, and hit the man while shouting, Da!
Now, Mr. Kersey, I bet you can recognize a Palestinian from a speeding car anytime, can't you?
Just like every white man in Cleveland.
Apparently, this guy could.
If you can't, gosh, what's wrong with you, Mr. Kersey?
I can't.
I'll be honest, I can't.
Oh, boy, you'd be no good as a hate criminal.
Well, I have not spent much time around Palestinians.
I can say this.
Well, the organization demanded an investigation into the incident, along with a photo.
of the brave Mr. Ayyad lying in a hospital with a neck brace, and he's got a tube up his nose looking very badly beat up, but at the same time quite heroic and stoic, by the way.
Nice photograph.
Well, the authorities looked into the incident.
They got surveillance footage from the area, and they concluded Mr. Ayyad had lied.
Injuries sustained at the time of the incident were caused by a fight with the alleged victim that he had with his brother.
So, Ayad was subsequently arrested, along with his 19-year-old brother, Khalil A. Ayad, who was charged with domestic violence and assault.
So, this is an unhappy ending for Ayad and his brother.
So, it's nice to see yet another hate hoax unmasked.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe this is a good time to give our contact information.
Sometimes we get in a rushed way at the end of the podcast, but I think we should do it now.
And you go first.
Yeah, it's really easy, ladies and gentlemen.
We appreciate each one of you and we want to be able to get in touch with you and have you join our email newsletter.
My email address is simple.
It's becausewelivehereatproton.me.
Once again, the email address is becausewelivehereatproton.me or You can go to the AMREN page, A-M-R-E-N dot com, click the Contact Us tab, and your comments and suggestions can come straight to me, your host, Jared Taylor.
What I most enjoy are corrections.
When we make mistakes, as we sometimes do despite every attempt to avoid errors, we are in the business of nonfiction.
At least we think we are.
Not fiction.
So when we stray into fiction, we crave corrections.
Now, here is an Elon Musk story, I'm afraid, on the subject of censorship, in a funny sort of way.
There was a tweet posted last Wednesday.
Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites.
Now, I don't know what dialectical hatred is, but dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.
Jewish people are now coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities they support flooding into the country don't like them very much.
To which Elon Musk replied, you've said the actual truth.
Oh, dear.
Well, the sky fell upon Elon Musk.
Apparently, it lost many important advertisers.
Even the White House had to weigh in on this.
Andrew Bates, White House spokesman, said, We condemn this abhorrent promotion of anti-Semitic and racist hate in the strongest terms.
This runs against our core values as Americans.
Anti-Semitic and racist, by the way.
Well, what do you know?
What if it's homophobic?
And what if it's transphobic?
And what if it's sexist, too?
Well, now, Elon Musk is saying anyone proposing genocide will be removed from X.
Of course, the question that remains, Mr. Kurz, is what is promotion of genocide?
He referred to the phrase, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Pro-Palestine groups have used that phrase, and some see it as calling for wiping Israel off the face of the earth.
But there are others who say that it's not that.
Musk says decolonization from the river to the sea necessarily implies genocide.
Now, Rashida Tlaib, U.S.
Congresswoman, says otherwise, and presumably as a bona fide Palestinian, she should know.
She says that Jews and Arabs live in that area, but only Arabs are not free and that they should be free and no violence is intended at all.
Well, so you take your pick.
Elon Musk goes on to say, clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suppression.
So I suppose you cannot say from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Now, my question for Elon Musk would be, what about abolish whiteness?
If you look up abolish whiteness, yeah, you can sure abolish whiteness.
Now, the defenders of that phrase will say, no, no, no, it's not white people we ought to abolish.
It's just sort of all the nasty things they think and do and the air they breathe and a few things like that.
But white people are okay.
It's just whiteness that's no doggone good.
And of course, there was Brittany Cooper, who observed that we just have to take these MFers out, and I feel sure she probably still has an ex account, too.
So, that's the news from ex-world.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I believe, since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, you should give us your little Thanksgiving story.
I wish this was my story, but it's not.
This is from The Nation.
Oh, I'm glad it's not your story.
Yes, it's made.
First, like we said last week, we are doing this special edition of Radio Resonance a couple days early because we want to wish you and your family and all of our listeners and Mr. Taylor a very happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.
No thanks, I have other plans.
Well, this article, this essay is from The Nation and it's titled, Should America Keep Celebrating Thanksgiving?
And this is by Chase Iron Eyes, and he calls for replacing Thanksgiving with Truthsgiving.
I'm a proud member of the Oglala Lakota Nation, born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
For many Americans, the image of Thanksgiving is one of supposed unity, the gathering of pilgrims and Indians in a harmonious feast.
But this version obscures the harsh truth once steeped in colonialism.
violence and misrepresentation.
The sanitized version of Thanksgiving neglects to mention the violence, land theft, and subsequent decimation of indigenous populations.
Needless to say, this causes tremendous distress to those of us who are still reeling from the trauma of these events to our communities.
Wow, he's still reeling.
He's still reeling from trauma.
So many people alive who can document that they were, uh, they were at the Battle of Little Bighorn or, uh, yeah, um, Thanksgiving were the winners.
They were the winners, yeah.
There are plenty of battles we could think of, you know, Trail of Tears, whatever you want to talk about.
But anyways, Thanksgiving roots are intertwined with colonial aggression.
One of the first documented Thanksgivings came in 1637, after colonists celebrated their massacre of an entire Pequoth village.
I do not- I've never heard that story.
I've never heard that story either.
I do not think we need to end Thanksgiving, but we need to decolonize it!
That means centering the indigenous perspective and challenging the colonial narratives around the holiday and every other day on the calendar.
Yes, because Monday through Friday, I'm sorry, Monday through Sunday, it's all about celebrating colonialists.
This approach is one of constructed evolution.
In decolonizing Thanksgiving, we acknowledge this painful past while reimagining our lives in a more truthful manner.
Indigenous contributions, Mr. Taylor, including turkey, corn, beans, pumpkins, cranberries, sweet potatoes, and wild rice are central to the Thanksgiving menu by embracing roots... I'm sorry, go ahead.
That's true.
That's true.
That's what it's all about.
American food.
We're giving thanks.
Is that wrong?
No, well, they say that These are indigenous contributions, so by embracing these foods and supporting Native American producers and practices, we can ground the celebration in a genuine appreciation of this land and its original custodians, the same way that we celebrate European contributions to the American plate.
The Western colonial diet has almost completely ignored the nutritional and culinary diversity of North America.
Well, wait, wait, wait.
That's what Thanksgiving's all about.
It's true, we eat turkeys mostly only on Thanksgiving.
I guess we should eat turkey every day to decolonize our palates.
Hey, turkey's delicious.
Turkey sandwich, turkey, all sorts of things.
That's great.
But you're right.
He does contradict himself.
But here's where he writes this.
The Western colonial... Well, we just talked about that.
The Western colonial diet is completely ignored.
The nutritional and culinary diversity in North America, at our restaurant, Oh, Womney, and in tribal communities everywhere,
food is a celebration of history, culture, and environmental stewardship.
When we strip away all the ills of colonization, we demand the shared human right of access
to healthy, culturally significant, and regionally appropriate foods.
These values can be applied not only during Thanksgiving, but every day of our lives,
and would drastically change the way we all live on this planet.
I guess he's swearing off Cheetos.
Is he swearing off alcohol too?
Yeah, the firewater's gotta go.
Yeah, he's gotta decolonize.
Yeah, the firewater's gotta go.
Decolonize that.
Decolonize the bars on the reservations.
No, but I mean, again, this is the type of story though, Mr. Taylor, that I mean, who would have thought that we would call Columbus Day and so many municipalities and corporations are now celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day?
So this type of thing does have, and again, when the nation is promoting this, one of the nation's largest Left-wing periodicals that dates back, you know, more than 120 years, I believe.
I mean, they're serious about this.
And so, you know, hold on tight to your Thanksgiving traditions because, yeah, you know what?
You already are celebrating indigenous contributions.
But, you know, this dude doesn't want you to even think about anything else except for the fact that you're a colonizer and you're a culinary colonizer.
That's right.
I never realized I'm a culinary colonizer, too.
That rings trippingly off the tongue.
Well, here's a story about Wikipedia and government censorship.
And I'm a little bit ashamed that this is something that never occurred to me.
But when you read this story, it all falls into place.
Wikipedia is one of many tools used by U.S.
liberals and their allies in the intelligence community to wage information warfare.
The site's co-founder, Larry Sanger told journalist Glenn Greenwald.
Greenwald is a pretty on-the-ball guy.
He digs up very interesting stuff.
Speaking on Greenwald's System Update podcast, Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of control in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies.
We have evidence that as early as 2008, the CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia.
Activity by the CIA and FBI on Wikipedia was first made public by a programming student named Virgil Griffith in 2007.
Griffith developed a program called Wikiscanner.
That could trace the location of computers used to edit Wikipedia articles and found that the CIA, FBI, and a host of large corporations and government agencies were scrubbing the online encyclopedia.
I sure was unaware of that in 2007, and it really never occurred to me something as obvious as this would be happening.
This article goes on to say, CIA computers were used to remove casualty counts in the Iraq War, while the FBI removed aerial and satellite images of the U.S.
prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
CIA computers were used to edit hundreds of articles, including entries on then-Iranian President Mohammad Ahmadinejad, China's nuclear program, and the Argentine Navy, of all things.
Why the Argentine Navy?
Earlier this year, ex-owner Elon Musk released a trove of documents showing how the platform's former executives colluded with the FBI to remove content the agency wanted hidden.
They helped the U.S.
military's online influence campaigns and censored anti-Ukraine narratives on behalf of multiple U.S.
intelligence agencies.
What this, of course, leaves out is the intense censorship of dissidents like me and like you.
Now, I don't know if the FBI or the CIA was paying attention to your servant, but At one time, I tried to do battle with Wikipedia and make sure that complete and outright falsehoods about me were excluded from my Wikipedia bio.
And you're not supposed to edit your own article, and I was to refrain from doing so, but I had friends to whom I suggested making certain obvious edits, and it was remarkable.
They would remove something that was outright false.
For a long time, my article said that I had this lover In Osaka.
And it had her name, how I had met her, and what her profession was.
It sounded so detailed and so authentic that you couldn't help but think, gosh, that Taylor, he gets around.
Completely fabricated.
But as soon as it was gone, bam, it would reappear in seconds.
It was as if there was somebody, something or something was monitoring it.
Now, I don't know, as I say, if the FBI or the CIA was that interested in me.
But I do not doubt for a moment that they keep tabs on things that they want covered, and if they decide that white supremacy is the greatest threat to the republic, I'm sure they pay attention to that as well.
Now, here is a bit of what I consider to be good news.
You remember the ESG funds?
I do.
And ESG, I keep forgetting what they stand for, except that I had to write it down.
Environmentalist, oh go ahead.
Environmental, social, and governance.
Environmental, social, and governance.
Well, these things are apparently going way out of fashion.
And, of course, if you are interested in ESG funds, that means investing in companies that love BIPOCs more than profits and who think that the word green means the Amazon jungle and not U.S.
dollars.
Well, money, Mr. Kersey, is pouring out of ESG investments.
Because so much money is being lost on this green and social justice crusade.
And now we have more evidence that we may have reached peak wokeness, at least in terms of investments.
And this comes from the Wall Street Journal.
The journal reports, the about face comes after tightened regulatory oversight.
Higher interest rates had slammed these clean energy stocks and a backlash that has made
environmental, social, and corporate governments investing a political target.
The third quarter was the first time more sustainable funds liquidated or removed ESG
criteria from their investment practices than were added.
So they are decreasing in number, and in that quarter, more than $14 billion was withdrawn
from ESG funds.
Now, I know you are a bit of an investor yourself, and you would never have been so foolish as to invest in these crazy, stupid funds, and I'm delighted that they are at least beginning to wither away.
Yeah, so my, you know, BlackRock was one of the main people that pushed those, and I did invest in BlackRock when they got When they got handed by the Trump administration the opportunity to, I believe they did all the COVID funds, and so their stock price went up significantly.
But it has gone back down, not to where it was when I purchased it, but it is fascinating to watch as so many people got gobbled up into this ESG world, and it's a lot of fun to watch, just as we've seen The fallout of a lot of the major investors into these colleges who are now pulling their funds because they're saying, well, we talked about last week, all these people saying, well, wait a second, why are all these people pro-Hamas and pro-Palestine?
So we are going to pull our funding.
And it's like, well, where were you when they were promoting anti-white, the anti-white agenda?
And now it's exciting to see this because it feels like there's some Restoration of sanity, because there are so many people who are worried.
So many people, Mr. Taylor, were worried.
We've talked about this, that boards were going to mandate fossil fuels be eroded and you could lose your standing with investment companies if you invested in fossil fuels and those types of companies.
Then there were also those requirements.
I believe some of them are still in place.
I believe at NASDAQ you have to have a certain number of BIPOCs and women and maybe a few Yeah, maybe a couple of baboons, have them on your governing board, or you can't get listed.
Crazy stuff.
But let us move on to Dolores Huerta.
She is one of Cesar Chavez's old buddies at the United Farm Workers Union, and she made the news just the other day.
She has urged schools to re-evaluate their curriculum so that they do not graduate white supremacists.
She says, I don't think any public school in America should ever graduate a person who is going to be a neo-Nazi or a white supremacist.
Then she added, and what strikes me is a complete non sequitur.
If we can actually put civic citizen responsibilities back into our schools because we don't have that right now, I mean, it is really alarming how many people who come out of our schools and don't vote.
What's that got to do with being a Nazi or a white supremacist?
Now, I'm not quite sure whether she's saying that if it looks like you're going to be a Nazi or white supremacist, you don't give them a diploma, or whether she's saying that education has got to be revamped top to bottom to absolutely ensure, Mr. Kersey, that nobody turns out like you.
I think that's probably what she has in mind.
She is 93 years old, after all, and she can be forgiven—she can be forgiven for being a little bit confused.
Now, Mr. Kersey, did you realize she's one of the most important people in American history?
I did not know that.
Well, she invented the slogan, Sí, se puede.
That would have been enough.
But she has been widely—you know what Sí, se puede means?
Yes, we can.
Yes, we can.
Attaboy.
Your Spanish is getting better all the time.
Did you know she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, that is the highest, highest civilian honor in the United States, from no less than the holy anointed hands of President Barack Obama.
That was in 2012.
She was an inaugural recipient of the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights.
She received that from the holy anointed hands of none other than President Bill Clinton.
And in 1998, Ladies Home Journal called her one of the 100 most important women of the 20th century.
Wow, one of the most important women in the entire hundred-year period of the 20th century, along with Margaret Thatcher and Rosa Parks, that old fraud who sat down in the front of a bus for half an hour and has been famous ever since.
Now, did you know she has got—listen to all the schools she's got named after.
They have Dolores Huerte schools.
There are four elementary schools in California.
One in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and one in Fort Worth, Texas.
A middle school in Burbank, California, and a high school in Pueblo, Colorado.
All named for her.
Also, a middle school in Salinas, California.
That makes a total of nine.
And she ended up with a tenth in 2021.
A brand new middle school.
A sparkling, sparkling wonderful brand new middle school in San Jose was given the name Dolores Huerta.
And that edged the score up to 11 with Burbank Unified School District voted to rename its David Starr Jordan Middle School as Dolores Huerta Middle School.
Now you know who he was.
David S. R. Jordan was a president at Stanford.
He wrote one of the most important books of the 20th century, War and the Breed.
I believe he was also a naturalist of some sort.
Wasn't he big into birds?
He was an ornithologist.
He was an ornithologist, yes.
He was the founding and first president of Stanford University.
He did not, however, write War and the Breed.
But he did say that cattle and human beings are governed by the same laws of selection.
Can you believe that?
Can you believe that?
The same laws that you would use to breed racehorses and milk cows and tastier carrots, they all apply to human beings.
What an outlandish, anti-scientific idea!
And his best-known book is actually called Human Harvest, a study of the decay of races through the survival of the unfit.
I thought he did read, he did write War in the Breed, The Relation of Nations to the Downfall of Nations.
Did he not write that?
Well, you know, did he write that?
I know that that was put out by Roger Pearson's group, but I didn't think that it was David Starr Jordan who wrote that.
Maybe he did, maybe he did.
Maybe while I continue to jabber, you can look it up.
But I thought his best known book was Human Harvest.
A study of the decay of races through the survival of the unfit.
Can you imagine that?
The survival of the unfit.
Well, we've never had anything like that in the United States.
That book was published in 1907, when you could get something like that actually put into the hands of the American reading public.
But the honors for Dolores keep rolling in.
In July 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a law designated April 10 each year as Dolores Huerta Day.
That is her birthday.
So next April 10th, that comes just four days between, what is it, April 14th.
That's a birthday that her opponents might celebrate.
You can wish her a happy birthday.
And in March 2009, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a measure also designating April 10th each day, each year as Dolores Huerta Day.
Wow.
You know, I think we were soliciting these various months that could be devoted or days that could be devoted to various non-whites.
After all, Georgia has its Aubrey Day.
And so now, I didn't realize this, California and Washington State have Dolores Huerta days.
And when she dies, will she lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda as Rosa Parks did?
Well, I say si se puede, even in death, si se puede.
And I wonder if all her children will be there.
You know, she's had 11 of them, with three different men.
Two of whom she was actually married to.
So she's a shining example of Hispanic family values and a true model to us all.
Dolores Huerta.
And she wants to ensure that never again does anyone who's going to become a white supremacist graduate from a public school in America.
Now, in the context of all of this, all of these honors, heaped, heaped, just lathered upon Dolores Huerta, there's yet another school that has been changed in name.
Right in Fairfax County, is it not?
You know, it's astonishing, Mr. Taylor, how many stories that I have saved and bookmarked and I forget to send when we're talking about doing the podcast.
And this is one that I've had for a couple of weeks.
And it's a school named for segregationists, renamed for the father of black history.
Now, Fairfax County is, of course, the home of the New Century Foundation, where Mr. Taylor resides.
This is in his neck of the woods.
The Fairfax County Scoreboard voted to rename one of its high schools after Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the father of black history.
I must admit, I had no idea who Dr. Carter G. Woodson was, but let's learn about him.
The school board voted unanimously a couple weeks ago to rename W.T.
Woodson High School beginning in the 2023-2024 school year.
It will be known as Carter G. Woodson.
High school.
So this is a, again, this is a simple way, ladies and gentlemen, they're going to just change the names of high schools, elementary schools, middle schools, streets, buildings.
Just try and find a black individual regardless of their notoriety to replace a white person as long as they can say that they were a dead white male who once had views that are anathema to today's moral morality.
Quote, what I really love about this perfect symmetry is the fact that Carter G. Woodson, not only was he a professor, got his PhD from Harvard, but he also was a school principal, school board chair Elaine Tholen said before the final vote was taken.
Opened in 1962, the school was named in honor of the former Fairfax County Superintendent, Wilbert Tucker Woodson.
The process for renaming the school, located in the east of Fairfax City, started after students and community members expressed concern about the legacy of Mr. Woodson.
After the U.S.
Supreme Court outlawed segregation in schools with its decision on Brown v. Board, school officials in Virginia, including W.T.
Woodson, opposed integration.
The order to desegregate schools is highly improper and infringes on human rights, W.T.
Woodson wrote in 1959, to force integration of schools as to force social mixing, since attendance in public schools is usually compulsory.
It takes advantage of the immaturity of children and that it tends to use force upon both parent and children, social adjustments to which so many parents strongly object.
Even though W.T.
Woodson eventually supported a plan to gradually integrate Fairfax County Schools, this plan was struck down in September 1960 in federal district court, forcing FCPS to integrate.
He announced his retirement a month later, which went into effect June 1961.
Prompted by the namesake of their high school's opposition to integration, students and community members advocated for the change of name.
And well, that's what actually happened.
They've done this.
They've exercised their authority to change the name of two high schools named after Confederate officers.
School board member Megan McLaughlin and Abar Omiyash oversaw the public engagement process of presenting the renaming measure for the board's consideration.
W.T.
Woodson perhaps wasn't Robert E. Lee or Jeb Stewart, but he was someone who enabled through his power and action, having that power did the wrongs of our past.
That makes us reflect.
What are the many ways that we continue to be complicit as a system, as individuals, in various harms unfolding in our society?
And that is what Abrar Omiyash said.
Well, Mr. Kersey, of course, you and I are complicit in all the harms of our system simply by walking the earth, simply by waking up in the morning, and, of course, by speaking into the microphone for Radio Renaissance.
Oh boy, are we complicit.
Who are they going to replace us with, by the way?
Eric Garner's mother, who's going to just joke about those cigarettes that we talked
about last week, Lucy's.
It'll be called America's Lucy.
I love Lucy's.
I love Lucy's.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this episode.
I hope you enjoyed this episode.
Last thing for our listeners who might want to know who W.T.
Woodson has been replaced with, Dr. Carter G. Woodson.
He's a well-known scholar, author, educator, and journalist, was the son of a former enslaved people, according to FCPS, overcoming childhood hardship.
He eventually earned degrees from Harvard University and the University of Chicago.
He went on to become the dean of Howard University's College of Arts and Science.
That, of course, is a Historically Black College in Washington, D.C., and he's widely credited as the father of Black history because he founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, the Journal of Negro History, which has now been renamed the Journal of African-American History, and Negro History Week, the precursor of Black History Month, which, of course, has morphed into 365 Black
Or what I call Black Run America.
Yes, you know, they used to be so modest.
All they wanted was National Negro Week.
But then they wanted a whole month, and now they've got a whole year, and they've got two whole national holidays.
Man, what is next?
What is next?
I keep thinking, I keep thinking, I say this over and over, we've got to ditch Washington, George Washington.
They'll come up with a nice new name for the county.
And I keep promoting Mandela.
But maybe Woodson, who knows?
You know, they'll come up with somebody.
Meanwhile, here's a candidate for maybe naming the capital.
Do you know anything about Tyler Perry?
Unfortunately, having grown up in Atlanta and having been exposed to his catalog, to his movies, the Madea series, yes, I am well aware of who Tyler Perry is.
Have you ever watched a Tyler Perry movie?
I have never watched a Tyler Perry movie, and I will never watch a Tyler Perry movie.
Well, you know, I have become intrigued by Tyler Perry, and I think I may just watch one of these Madea movies.
He's only 52 years old, but he is a billionaire.
He is the creator and performer of the character Mabel Madea Simmons.
She is a tough, elderly black woman, and he plays her in drag.
I mean, this is no doubt a spectacle to be seen.
And some of the names of his movies are Daddy's Little Girls, Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
That sounds like a good one.
I think my wife and I watched that tonight.
Why Did I Get Married, The Haves and the Have Nots, and Too Close to Home.
And all these movies are just blackety black, black, black, black, black.
And I think it would be an interesting little insight into black culture and black society.
Well, Tyler Perry's incredible journey from childhood abuse and poverty to billionaire entertainment mogul is brought to life by those closest to him in a new documentary.
It's a glowing two-hour profile.
I think I can skip the profile, but I really would like to maybe watch Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
In it, he says, I think the most difficult part in all the success wasn't battling Hollywood.
It was black people.
He says in the documentary, there's a certain class of black people who look down on all things Tyler Perry.
Journalists and industry colleagues such as Spike Lee Who famously decried Perry's work as coonery buffoonery.
That's pretty clever.
I guess there are too many stepping faggots and too many sassy black fat women in it.
Who knows?
But Spike Lee called it coonery buffoonery.
That intrigues me too.
I'd like to see what Spike Lee thought was coonery buffoonery.
Perry has responded to this backlash before, including telling Lee to go to hell.
But he reflects more deeply on the criticism in the documentary.
When I started to look at the history of what we've done to each other's black people, others who are successful, it's pretty interesting, says he.
Amos and Andy was the first African Americans on television, and it was the NAACP who boycotted it.
Now, I remember when I was living in the United States for a year in 1960, watching Amos and Andy.
And of course, having spent most of my life in Japan, I knew very little about black people, but I thought Amos and Andy was really quite an interesting show.
Hooray!
Amos Dysphere!
Andy is speaking!
On the telephone, you know.
And they had this—they were all members of the Mystic Knights—what?
Mystic Knights of the Mystic Sea or something?
Quite a show.
Did you ever watch that, by the way?
Amos and Andy?
No, a little before my time, but I did see the Samuel L. Jackson-Nicholas Cage movie version that came out in the 80s, which is actually, it's kind of funny, kind of clever.
Yeah, he was an Andy.
I remember laughing as a nine-year-old.
I thought that was just hilarious.
In any case, Perry also pointed out to the NAACP's boycott of the 1985 film The Color Purple.
The Color Purple, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Alice Walker.
The movie was nominated for 11 Academy Awards.
And I guess the NAACP thought it was too step and fetch it for their tastes.
Also, Perry points out Langston Hughes called Zora Neale Hurston a new version of the Darkie.
Because she spoke with a Southern accent, and she wrote in that dialect.
Now, I actually made a video about Zora Neale Hurston, and it's called A Black Woman We Can Admire.
And I think she really was remarkable.
She was writing in the 20s and 30s, and she refused to be what she called of the sobbing school of Negroes.
And she actually said, slavery is the price my people paid for civilization.
And actually, I've never read the novel, but I think Their Eyes Were Seeing God is considered, really, quite a remarkable novel.
to make it into some kind of anti-white novel.
She says, it's about black people.
It's about their struggles, their achievements, their crises, their sorrows, their loves.
And she just thumbed her nose at those black critics who said everything should be turned into some sort of anti-white tract.
So good for Tyler Perry for looking up to Zora Neale Hurston.
And then he goes on to say, After having decided that Zora Neale Hurston was okay, he says, when you look at white comedy, they're allowed to do the most ridiculous things, and they never have to wear the burden of, say, you're making fun of all white people, or you're making all Irish people look bad.
And he's right.
He's right.
And so I think he just cuts loose, and he does what he thinks black people are going to laugh at, and to heck with Spike Lee.
Although he used the real word rather than the euphemism, heck.
Now there's something else.
There's something else I remember reading about Tyler Perry.
He said one of the secrets to his success was that he never had a white girlfriend.
He says, my biggest fans are black women.
And the one thing they will never forgive if you show up at some event with a white girl on your arm.
Well, he and I are in the same boat!
No, I'm joking.
Look, he's made a pretty significant footprint in Atlanta.
I believe he has a pretty big studio there.
Again, his movies.
I think there was a hilarious study where when Netflix, I believe you still, a few years ago, you were still getting DVDs in the mail before they discontinued that.
Have they done?
Is that still something they do?
It finally ended just a couple of months ago.
My last DVD showed up.
You know, I played it lovingly.
What was your last DVD?
I guess it wasn't a Tyler Perry movie.
No, you know, I don't actually remember what it was, but it was not a Tyler Perry movie.
There was a way you could discern if a zip code was predominantly black because They disproportionately, they were basically the only people getting Tyler Perry movies mailed to them.
And it was an amazing article.
I want to say it was in the Wall Street Journal or Entertainment.
This was back in the infancy of Netflix before everything became streaming.
But no, I mean, his movies are, they're, they're, they're excoriated by critics, but they're, but they're loved because again, he knows his audience.
And like you just said, there's a reason he's built his entire career around placating black women.
It's not placating, it's entertaining them.
And I think it would be educational for you and me to sit down together, Mr. Kersey, and learn about what it is that makes black women laugh.
I bet there's some funny jokes.
Do you know what would be hilarious?
If we actually recorded us watching and let people... I'll write a review of Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
Yeah.
I think there's a Halloween, Madea goes boo, or there's a Christmas movie.
You know, it's funny.
I don't think there are many, you know, we're coming up on Christmas and Thanksgiving and families get together.
And one of the things families love to do is watch movies.
And there aren't many Christmas movies that are beloved, that are beloved by Americans that really star any African-Americans.
So I, What you should watch is the Medea Christmas movie of Tyler Perry made.
I bet there's several.
He's made so many.
Anyway, let us move on to the Derek Chauvin verdict.
This was an article in Revolver.
I was glad to see that at least a few people are coming around to the fact that poor Derek Chauvin was absolutely railroaded.
Yeah.
Revolver writes, the Chauvin verdict was an obvious sick joke from the moment it happened, but even on the American right, The full realization of this fact seems to have taken until the last few weeks.
Well, it didn't take us that long.
It didn't take us that long at all.
We covered that trial very carefully.
We had our crime reporter watch it on TV.
It was outrageous.
But Revolver goes on to say the developments in question stem from a lawsuit by Hennepin County prosecutor Amy Sweezy Tamburino.
Higher-ups sabotaged her career because she didn't play ball in the Floyd case.
Case files include a deposition with Hennepin County Prosecutor Amy Sweezy, in which she mentioned a conversation with the county's medical examiner after he performed Floyd's autopsy.
She says, he called me later in the day on that Tuesday and he told me that there were no medical findings that showed any injury to the vital structures of Mr. Floyd's neck.
No medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation.
And also, of course, Dr. Andrew Baker, the original medical examiner, said there was a fatal concentration of fentanyl in his system, far greater than normally required to kill a guy.
He said if this guy had been found dead in his apartment, the immediate coroner's conclusion would be, ah, fentanyl overdose.
But, in fact, post-trial interviews with Chauvin jurors Show that the jurors not only misunderstood basic facts, but the facts didn't matter.
Jurors engaged, according to Revolver, an emotional babble about how they felt Chauvin didn't care enough about Floyd.
He didn't care enough.
In the jury room, one of the jurors said she recalled testimony about a Minneapolis police motto, in our custody, in our care, or words to that effect.
And she says, George Floyd was in their custody, but not in their care.
And that for me, that just hit home.
I don't feel like they ever cared for him.
I never cared for George Floyd either.
But that doesn't mean I killed him.
And remember, there was another juror, Brandon Mitchell.
He had attended a 2020 BLM rally wearing a Get Your Knee Off Our Necks t-shirt.
Now, guess who he meant by your?
I'm sure he meant all white people, but he was supposed to be an unbiased Jew.
Now, this Revolver article, which is actually pretty good, and I'm glad that even if Johnny come lately, they've come to the table on this, it doesn't mention the incredible security that surrounded that courtroom.
Remember, that was an armed camp of a city.
Constantina, barbed wire, all of these concrete bollards everywhere, with the clear implication that if you, the jury, get things wrong and acquit There is going to be hell to pay.
And the judge refused to change the venue.
I think that in all by itself was grounds for appeal.
And you remember there was a case in which journalists followed the jury bus trying to track down and identify the jurors so that they could intimidate them in advance.
This was an absolute travesty of what we call the rule of law.
And I'm very pleased if at least a few people late in the game are beginning to realize Just what a terrible deal Derek Chauvin got, but he's rotting away in jail.
Well, I think he's on appeal.
He's got an appeal.
I think the Supreme Court just said they're not going to hear it.
But I do want to point out that a friend of mine, Jack Cashel, he's a phenomenal journalist.
He actually wrote a great piece on October 22nd, 2023 for the American Spectator with the title, Chauvin, Chauvin did not murder George Floyd and prosecutors knew it.
And I recommend everybody read that piece.
That was a very big moment when the American Spectator came out and put this... Well, I wish the American Spectator would go to the defense of, oh, the Ahmaud Arbery guys.
Oh, Michael and Travis Mc... whatever it was.
Gosh, I can't remember their names.
This is awful.
Those guys were even worse railroaded.
One of the most outrageous miscarriages of justice.
Well, while you explain to us why they are fighting over free food in New York City, I will look up the names of Travis and his papa.
Yeah, there's a couple stories that are very much worth watching.
Residents of the New York Central Housing Authority and migrants spar over food resources in Queens.
The influx of migrants is being felt in one Queen neighborhood where the NYCHA, as I stated earlier, that acronym is the New York Central Housing Authority, tenants find themselves fighting over food with the newly arrived asylum seekers.
We do, we have to take the butt of everything, said Georgia Butler, a Queensbridge House's resident.
This community is already suffering.
She's, as Mr. Taylor would note, Sufficiently melanin enhanced.
The residents living in NYCHA's Queensbridge houses say they look forward to mobile food pantries that show up weekly.
But over the past year, they have witnessed 8,000 migrants move into their neighborhoods and begin to make use of the limited resources available.
Quote, they were first online for the turkeys this morning, Butler said.
They tell you to be here at 11 o'clock.
You get there at like 11, you get there at 1030, 1045, but they are already out there.
That line is from over there.
It's over here.
Free food giveaways, especially during the holidays, have become a source of tension between longtime New Yorkers struggling to get by and newly arrived migrants who are using the system.
A month ago, one altercation got so heated between a resident and a migrant that someone ended up in a hospital.
Now, this article comes to us from Fox 5 NY, and there was another article that talked about the same thing.
But where it pointed out that the free meal is a gift of a precious commodity in the Long Island community where 6,000 NYCH residents and 8,000 migrants are competing for free hot meals.
Mercedes, a Nicaraguan mother who with her husband brought their six young children to the country, told Fox 5 New York she's aware some people in the community are more supportive than others.
But Mr. Taylor, they're hungry.
New York City Councilmember Julia Wan said she needed to intervene after a fight between members of the two groups broke out at a food pantry, sending one person to the hospital.
Quote, right here you have the largest population of public housing in a single unit of the whole country, who are living 200% below the poverty line, Wan said, and she's tried to organize more food assistance, but again, she wants to swap, they're overwhelmed, they're swamped, there's not enough food, and you know, this is just, Yet another reminder of just the idiocy of liberalism, which has created this social dependent class of blacks in our country.
And then you bring all these third world people who are being resettled and bused all across the country, and they're just swamping the services.
And this is not going to end well for anyone.
No.
Hungry Nicaraguans with six children?
Well, yeah, they like their Thanksgiving turkeys, too.
I'm sure they learn quick.
But, Mr. Taylor, as we've talked about, how can they decolonize Thanksgiving?
I mean, shouldn't they just not eat?
Well, if anybody's a colonizer, they're the most recent band of colonizers.
I wonder what the Oglala Sioux people think about this.
Dear me.
Well, by the way, I was kicking myself for not having remembered the alleged killers of Ahmaud Arbery, Travis and Gregory McMichael, father and son, and the neighbor William Roddy Bryan, rotting away in jail for trying to do a citizen's arrest to serve their community.
Let's hope that the spectator looks into that case as well.
But crazy stuff.
Now, I guess we've got enough time.
I hope so.
Yes, I think we do.
To talk about Enid, Oklahoma.
Judd Blevins, he is the Ward 1 Commissioner for the City of Enid.
That's like the City Council.
He was elected to a seat in February, taking 52.23% of the vote.
That is to say he got 422 votes.
That sounds like a pretty small turnout, but maybe the words are pretty small.
And he displaced an incumbent.
Blevins is a U.S.
Marine veteran born in Eden—in Enid, I'm sorry—has a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from an Oklahoma State University.
In 2018, he came back to Enid to take over his father's business after having served honorably in the Marine Corps and having gone on several deployments.
Now, something called the Enid Social Justice Committee is trying to recall Blevins and hold a new election.
It claims that he was a member of Identity Europa, which later became the American Identity Movement.
And he was also said to be at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
Well, well, well.
These are unforgivable sins, as we all know.
Now, he has not confirmed or denied that he was at, that he was at Identity Europa or at Charlottesville.
He's been very low key during his months in office.
He has declined interviews, but he sent a statement to a reporter via text message saying, these allegations were made long ago and they were addressed during the campaign.
The voters of Ward 1 settled the issue.
Now, the recall petition will need more than 200 signatures from registered voters.
But apparently it's a pretty conservative place, and they may not come up with 200 signatures.
But if he is recalled, Blevin could run again.
So we will see what happens.
However, the real interesting thing that happened is just this last Sunday, he noticed his truck was not driving properly, and he took it to a mechanic.
And someone had cut the brake lines on the right side of his car.
What that means is, in effect, If you break left and you're traveling and your car will swerve into oncoming traffic.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, this could have made a turn right into oncoming traffic.
This, by the way, is attempted murder.
And Blevins has made out a police report and he's expressed full confidence that the Enid police will make a complete investigation.
The fact is, according to the FBI's definition, this is probably also domestic terrorism.
If you commit a crime and actually put someone in great physical danger, and your attempt is to change policy or intimidate a politician, that is domestic terrorism.
So the FBI should be on this, too.
But I bet most of our listeners have never, ever heard of this going on in Enid.
It's one of these shocking situations.
Imagine, imagine some openly tranny or homosexual or BIPOC elected official who discovers that his cables are cut.
I bet you that President Biden himself would denounce this horrible hatred right from the White House.
But if you're a white guy, nobody's interested.
Yeah, and then they'd probably try and find out if Elon Musk was behind You know, radicalizing them so they could go after Twitter.
I mean, again, this is all of our listeners out there that this is a crazy story, you know, and I'm afraid it's... This is pretty serious stuff, too.
I've never found the brake lines of my car cut.
Maybe I should knock on wood.
But by the time you start doing that, attempted murder, this is this is really bad, very bad business.
Well, I wish him well, and I suspect that he will not be recalled, but things are really in a bad situation.
The city councilman, if you've got to murder a city councilman because of his politics.
Well, Mr. Kersey, our time runneth out, despite the fact that our cup runneth over, and so I believe we will not see each other until after Thanksgiving.
In the meantime, I wish you personally a wonderful and hearty and happy Thanksgiving with the people you love best, And I wish the same to all of our listeners all around the world, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not.
Give it a try if you don't.
And it will be our joy and our pleasure to be with you next week.
