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 my indispensable co-host, none other than Paul Kersey.
And as usual, we will begin with comments from listeners.
And this comment that I'm going to read is probably an example of one that was repeated more often than any other comment we've had.
And it has to do with an embarrassing error.
Mr. Kersey, that you and I made what was an embarrassing inability to draw the obvious conclusion.
But this commenter wrote in to say, I'm sure other listeners have pointed this out already.
Boy, did they.
But there is a simple reason why there was a big drop in the population of young whites.
They didn't die.
They just got older and aged out of the young group.
This explanation was obvious to me because I love studying demography, and age-class populations are essential to population projections.
If you want to know the population of the future, you need to know the number of young people, whereas the number of old people doesn't much matter.
This explanation may not be so obvious to people who don't think about the mathematical mechanics of demography so much, even smart guys such as yourself.
Yep.
Mr. Kersey, you and I both kind of missed the boat on that.
You said that, what was it, in three years, there'd been 1.6 million decrease in the number of white children under 18.
And I'm thinking, good grief.
Did they shoot each other?
Are they all O.D.?
Are they committing suicide?
But no.
It's the 15-, 16-, and 17-year-olds who aged out, and they weren't replaced by babies and toddlers.
And neither you nor I thought of that, Mr. Kersey.
Very embarrassing.
I actually thought I said that they aged out.
Oh, did you?
Listen to the tape, because I think I said something and you're like, no, that can't be true.
And I'm like, I think it is.
But anyways, I'll go back and I'll check the tape.
Oh, you don't have to check the tape.
You can claim it.
I believe you.
I was the only one who bungled them.
All right, here is another comment.
A commenter calls our attention to this news story.
Donald Trump at a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey, outside his national golf course, he said, we're going to let a lot of people come in.
He's talking about immigrants, Mr. Kersey.
More immigrants, he said, because the U.S.
needs more people, especially A.I.
A.I.?
A.I.
means we need more people?
Farmers need—everybody needs, he says.
Do you need more people?
No, I don't need more people.
And so, to this story, our listener adds this comment.
Is he drifting left or right?
Does he want more immigrants or fewer?
Has he changed?
Answer, no, not at all.
He wants and has always wanted only three things—to talk endlessly, to have many people cheer him, And denounce his opponents with elementary school playground insults.
The talk may contradict something you said yesterday or meander incomprehensibly.
That doesn't worry him.
The Democrats do not meander or talk incomprehensibly.
They seek the destruction of European religions, races, and cultures.
This is to be facilitated by endless self-flogging and transference of wealth and power to forces of replacement and decadence.
Some want it to go slower, others faster.
But all are united in their core dogmas.
Due to controlled education and media, about half of white Americans share the DNC's self-hating nihilism.
So the question boils down to this.
Does it matter if Trump With his confused and meandering advocacy here and there, of some good, is it worth any attention at all?
Or do we say, with Lenin, when he was in Zurich, Switzerland, between 1897 and 1970—I'm sorry, 1917—do we say, as Lenin did, let the czar run wild in order to clarify the need for practice of real alternatives?
It is fair to say that no good folks will vote for the Democrats.
So the election is at least a correct count of those who want to destroy all we cherish.
Well, I thought that was a pretty good comment.
And here is yet another comment.
Last week, Mr. Taylor said he doesn't like white men going to Japan and competing in professional sumo wrestling.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Sumo is the national support to Japan.
I think only Japanese should be professional sumo wrestlers.
Our commenter adds, I found it off-putting when Russians and Czechs started entering the ring in the 2000s, but I lived in Japan for many years and was around when the Mongolian wrestlers first started arriving in the early 1990s.
They have been very formidable competitors.
Six have attained Yokozuna, the highest rank.
And unlike the Russians, they seem more capable of behaving within the traditional Japanese expectations for sumo wrestlers.
So I wonder, is Mr. Taylor as strongly opposed to Mongolian sumo wrestlers in Japan as he is to white guys?
Well, the answer to that question is, I don't like them.
I think the Japanese national sport should be exclusively Japanese.
But it's true that the Mongolians, you know, you don't see them obviously as foreigners.
They're not these pasty white people.
They look, they could, they could look like Japanese.
They look similar enough.
But I don't think Mongolians have the same kind of dignity about the sport that Japanese do.
There was a very famous grand champion called Asa Shoryu.
He became the first Yokozuna, that's the top ranking guy, to be suspended from competition.
That was in 2007, when he participated in a charity football match back in Mongolia, despite having withdrawn from a regional sumo demonstration tour, claiming he was injured.
Here he is, just the next couple of days later, running around playing charity football.
He also did such things as raise his arms in victory after winning a bout.
That's very taboo in Japan.
When you win, you have absolutely no change of expression whether you win or lose.
This is part of the dignity of sumo wrestling.
I've always admired it.
You can have just set some sort of world record of Japanese championship, but you know, you don't grin, you don't wave your arms in the air, you do nothing.
You know, you just take it like a man.
And also he would give opponents an extra shove after he had clearly won.
That too.
No, no, no.
This is a sport for gentlemen.
And so after a career filled with a multitude of other controversies both on and off out of the ring, his career was cut short in February 2010 after he punched a restaurant employee and broke his nose.
No, no, no, no.
You know, Japanese sumo wrestlers just don't do that, especially not the top-ranked ones.
A top-ranked wrestler, really, that is supposed to be a kind of figurehead for Japanese society.
You don't misbehave and you certainly don't break the noses of restaurant employees.
All right, a final comment.
And Mr. Kersey, I will be curious about your view on this.
It's a little bit surprising to me.
Someone writes in to say, using the slang term boomer instead of the proper name baby boomer is anti-white.
I have never heard of a BIPOC referred to as a boomer.
It's always used to refer to white men.
This is a trend that needs to stop.
Some of us are proud of our age as well as our race.
Now, I suppose people rarely talk about Black boomers, one reason being that there's so few of them, relatively speaking.
There are lots and lots of white boomers, not very many black boomers.
But do you think the term boomer is racially insulting, Mr. Kersey?
Not at all.
I don't think it's synonymous with race at all.
I think it's known that it's a generational thing.
And I would say what I would say that probably 10% of boomers are, or 10 to 12% of boomers are probably black, by the way, if you would look at the demographics of the births.
But yeah, you're right, you know, those who need long-term care, who are entering that age of boomerism, baby boomer.
Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind of unnecessary.
Baby boomer.
No, you're a boomer.
It's okay.
I think that goes... That's my inclination too.
Although, There were people who referred to COVID as a boomer remover.
That was not exactly complimentary to my generation, but I didn't think it was racial.
And isn't there this expression, okay, boomer, Which is what you're supposed to say when someone of my age makes some sort of ridiculous, absurd observation about something, especially something that casts aspersions on the accomplishments of younger generations.
Isn't that what an OK boomer is supposed to be?
It's a derisive term, yeah.
But again, it's not something... Again, we've talked about boomers before, and all we're doing, and we're not trying to do it in a negative connotation.
It's just a term, and I've never in my life ever thought that there's Yeah, exactly.
I never thought so either.
But this was our listener's view, and I thought it worth passing along.
It had never occurred to me, I'd never thought about it, never heard about it, but I'm always open to new ideas.
Okay, well, last week we talked about how tyrannical Britain has become, and we have a continuing report on the creeping tyranny.
Well, it's not creeping, it's galloping tyranny.
A man who shouted into a police dog's face and was racist and abusive during unrest that marred Bristol has been jailed.
He shouted into a police dog's face.
His name is Bradley McCarthy, age 34, of Noel West.
This comes after hundreds of far-right protesters and counter-protest groups gathered for two demonstrations near Castle Park in Bristol.
That was back August 3rd.
Mr. McCarthy was caught on video threatening opponents, whatever that means, and shouting at the police, including at a police dog.
I suppose the police dog was particularly sensitive.
Probably had to go into therapy after that.
He is the seventh person to be given a prison sentence in relation to that one incident.
Now, this is as close to the report gets to specific charges.
Prosecutor Emily Evans, a lady prosecutor, told the court that Mr. McCarthy used racist and abusive language.
No direct quotations.
I wonder what he actually said.
And he made threatening football style chants.
Again, no direct quotes.
And he goaded counter protesters to cross the police line.
And he taunted police dogs.
Now, is it a crime to goad the counter protesters to cross the police line?
In any case, all of this in the United States, at least for now, is still free speech.
But following the sentencing, Mr. McCarthy shrugged his shoulders and he said to his family, see you in 10 months.
He got 10 months for doing these various things, which at least, still in the United States, I don't think can get you locked up.
But he's doing 10 months in the big house.
Meanwhile, three little white girls who tried to attend a Taylor Swift sing-along concert are dead.
That's right.
They are dead as can be.
And I still have not found any attempt to understand this Rwandan's motives.
Have you seen anything in that?
I mean, this guy's just dropped off the face of the earth.
The fact that he killed these three people and, you know, he put a couple of mothers in the hospital, this seems to be far, far less worse than the fact that white people were angry about it.
Exactly right.
I mean, I don't think anybody cares.
Hey, listen, Mr. Taylor, do we know any of the motive behind the individual who tried to assassinate President Trump on July 13th?
We sure don't.
Nobody's much talking.
But anyway, especially if a black person kills white people—oh my gosh, motive!
Why would anyone want to know?
That's prurient, just wondering.
Well, okay, back to Britain still.
Britain's—and this is an interesting consequence, perhaps, of all these angry white people.
And I do not endorse attacking the police.
I do not endorse looting stores.
I do not endorse setting fires, committing arson.
But I do endorse white people getting angry and making their anger known, just not in illegal and violent ways.
But Britons now see immigration as the most important issue facing their country.
This is the first time since 2016 when the public voted to leave the European Union.
Now, this itself is a horrible thing.
In 2016, they thought because Brexit was going to take them out of the European Union, they would regain control of the immigration policy and there'd be less immigration.
Ha ha ha.
Too bad.
Fool them.
But an Ipsos poll has now found that 34% of people in Britain see immigration as the top problem facing the country.
This beats out Worries about medicine and the National Health Service, which came in at 30%, the economy at 29%, and inflation at 20%.
So, immigration is the top problem for British people.
75% of the supporters of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party listed immigration as their top priority, and 62% of Conservative Party voters Also, 45% of those who work in manual labor jobs and 43% of people age 65 or over.
Dare we call them boomers.
Historic levels of legal immigration, with net immigration, those who enter minus those who leave, have hit record highs.
days, 764,000 in 2022.
This is after Brexit.
As I say, they wanted control of their borders.
What do they get?
They get conservatives who let in more people than ever.
762,000.
I mean, back in, say, oh, the 70s, 80s, 90s, that might be a typical, that might be close to a typical influx of legal immigrants in the United States, for heaven's sake, a much bigger country.
And then last year it was 685,000.
The survey Which questioned over 1,000 adults came in the immediate aftermath of the widespread anti-mass migration protests.
Crime has risen sharply as a major issue for the public also, rising from 6% to 25%, representing
the highest level of concern in some time. And so, as I say, Mr. Kersey, I was disappointed
in the rather infantile way these white people expressed themselves.
But maybe the fact that they were out, and maybe the fact that they were expressing themselves in sometimes infantile ways, maybe this has raised the consciousness of a lot of white people who are now more prepared to say, yeah, this is a real problem.
Look what happens to our country when you get all of these foreigners, all these non-whites living here.
You don't have a country.
You don't have a country.
You have inner tyranny, which is the only Solution as Sam Francis pointed out to a multicultural society where you have tiered levels of justice Yep, and part of government I mean government likes this because government has to spend all this effort making sure that people aren't constantly at each other's throats and This means bureaucrats have more power.
They have more things to do.
They will never run out of jobs No, it's it's just sickening.
I Now, I understand, Mr. Kersey, that Russia is trying to do something a little bit different.
They are, and this comes to us from the Business Insider.
Putin has decided that Russia is going to be a safe haven for people who want to trade liberal Western ways for Russian moral values.
Putin has signed a decree that Moscow would assist any foreign national wanting to apply for temporary resident in Russia outside the quota approved by the Russian government and without providing documents conferring Confirming their knowledge of the Russian language, Russian history and basic laws, the Russian state media reported Monday.
People interested in temporary residence may apply for visas through a simplified and expedited process.
Expedited?
Expedited.
I'm sorry.
Expedited.
I can't.
Yeah, expedited.
You just invented a new word.
I've got a smaller screen here.
And I'm yeah, what am I even?
Expedia.com.
I guess I'm thinking about getting a hotel.
Book a flight.
I guess a Book a flight to Moscow.
Maybe that was just a Freudian slip.
Russia is expected to begin issuing three-month visas as early as next month.
So applicants can request residency based on the rejection of what the decree describes as their home country's destructive neoliberal ideas, which it says differ from traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.
Russia is expected to produce a list of which countries are included in this exception.
Uh, some far right figures and conspiracy theorists celebrated news of the new policy and a manner that aligns with a growing online trend, particular among certain right wing personalities, far right personalities appraising Russian society and comparing it positively with the US and other Western nations.
I know one person I saw was Alex Jones.
I guess that's who they're talking about.
Uh, the business insider article goes on to say that praise for Russia has been a common occurrence among some prominent figures on the right, including Former POTUS Donald Trump, who has spoken positively about Putin.
Others have parroted Russian talking points, while others celebrated some elements of Russian society.
Back in February, after giving the Russian leader a platform to spread, quote, misinformation about the war in Ukraine, Tucker Carlson went on to praise aspects of Russian society, calling it shocking and disturbing how much nicer Moscow was than any city in the U.S.
He said his position was still pro-American, though.
I believe he talked about how the the monorail system or the train system that operates in
Moscow, how clean it was and how public transportation was night and day in Russia compared to what it is in the
United States of America.
It's clean.
It's efficient.
It's full of white people.
It's not dangerous.
It's safe.
And some of the stations are quite beautiful.
No graffiti all over them.
Boy, it is night and day compared to New York City or Philadelphia or Atlanta, any place you go.
I think it's the subway he was probably talking about.
Yeah.
Back in 2022, Putin criticized the West as satanic, arguing that it rejected moral norms and traditional values.
In his victory day speech in 2023, he attacked Western globalist elites for what he said was the destruction of family and traditional values that make a person human.
Russia's new visa policies appear rooted in this kind of thinking.
And that is the end of the Business Insider story.
But I do think this is fascinating and something to watch.
Mr. Kersey?
I hope you'll keep an eye out for the list of countries to which these visas will be granted.
And my guess is that every one of them will be European or some extension of Europe.
That's my guess.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Now, I don't think that Burkina Faso or Malaysia or Turkey is going to be on the list of countries for which these visas become available.
But the idea is you can live for three months in Russia.
That's how long they last, right?
I think so.
Huh.
And I wonder if after three months, then if you decide you want to stay long, can you renew for another three months?
Can you change your status so that you can stay longer?
This is really quite interesting.
I wonder how many takers they'll have.
It will be very, very interesting to see how this proceeds.
Well, Mr. Kersey, DEI and diversity training.
is a subject which the Washington Post decided to look into in quite a long article of which I've excerpted a few passages.
And WAPO has come to the conclusion that DEI training is coming under scrutiny, with at least seven court cases pending nationwide alleging that it constitutes workplace discrimination.
Gosh, WAPO has just discovered that some people think it's discrimination when you tell all white people they're inherently racist.
Then they tell the story of Joshua Young, a corrections officer in the Colorado prison system.
He claimed that mandatory anti-racism training fomented a hostile workplace for white employees.
Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine that?
You know, if you tell people all white people are wicked and white people are oppressive and they're born that way and can't be helped.
I wonder if that might constitute a hostile workplace.
The U.S.
Court of Appeals of the 10th Circuit dismissed the suit.
A three-judge panel found the training troublesome on many levels, but they said that its ideological messaging and race-based rhetoric is on its way to constituting harassment.
It's on its way to constituting harassment.
Now, in what legal experts have called a blueprint for future challenges, the majority said Young failed to demonstrate that the harassment was severe and pervasive.
So, Young, this prison guard, filed his lawsuit in June, refiled it, alleging that the training made his job more difficult and strained his relationships with co-workers who agreed with the message of the lessons.
So, these things are getting some kind of legal attention bit by bit.
This is what Kenji Yoshino, obviously a Japanese-origin American, he's director of New York University's Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging.
I just love this belonging.
Oh, everybody's got to belong.
He says, there hasn't been that much attention paid in the trainings to how much the trainings themselves vilify dominant groups.
Well, I guess he hasn't paid that much attention, but boy, you and I have.
He says this volume of cases challenging DEI is unprecedented.
I'd say it's about time.
Trainings that examine racism and unconscious bias can be useful, says Mr. Yoshino, but they can cross into illegal harassment if they perpetuate negative stereotypes.
Well, isn't that all they do is perpetuate negative stereotypes?
He says many unconscious bias trainings are totally appropriate.
And don't need to be changed at all, because the enemy is not white men, the enemy is bias against racial minorities.
Well, isn't that, isn't that, isn't it white people who are biased against racial minorities?
Come on.
Boy, it's not, you know, it's not white men, the enemy isn't white men, it's bias against racial minorities.
Gee, gee, how about white people, white people?
Experts say the training runs the risk of singling out white participants and painting them as inherently racist.
Oh, what a risk!
In contrast to unconscious bias training, which typically highlights the personal biases everyone holds.
Yeah, I bet DEI people are just as angry at the unconscious bias of blacks and Mexicans they are as white people.
Frank Dobbin, a sociologist at Harvard University who researches DEI programs, Found that unconscious bias training has been ineffective in diversifying workforces.
The problem, he says, is that it often shames people and puts undue attention on past incidents that led to discrimination, which some workers might find intimidating.
The approaches can repel employees and be counterproductive.
Well, that's generally the case.
I don't think I've ever seen a study in which all of this DEI and anti-white stuff actually increased diversity.
A similar dynamic applies to the newer anti-racism training, he said.
I didn't really know that it was any different.
Adding that trying to convince people that they harbor racial biases and need to change is a losing battle.
I don't think most people much care for it.
Now, he goes on to say this, we know that people just don't respond very positively to that message, even if the message is 100% correct.
So he's saying, yes, white people do harbor racial biases.
They do need to change.
That's 100% correct.
But they don't want to be told that.
There are 59 ongoing legal cases across the country.
And six challenge the legality of the trainings.
According to a database compiled by the NYU's Meltzer Center, this is this diversity, inclusion, diversity, equity, and inclusion, oh inclusion, belonging, the Belonging Center.
And I'm sure it's paying worried attention to all this.
Some have failed to gain traction.
A case against Honeywell was recently dismissed.
Others are shaping what employers can include in their trainings.
A recent ruling involving Penn State Abington, That's a satellite campus just north of Philadelphia.
It was filed by an English professor, Zach DiPiero.
He claims he was discriminated against for being white.
And in January, a federal judge in Pennsylvania allowed his claim to proceed, writing that the trainings, quote, discussed racial issues in essentialist and deterministic terms, ascribing negative traits to white people or white teachers without exception, and as flowing inevitably from their race.
Now, Mr. Kersey, the judge in this case who wrote that rather ringing phrase is an Obama appointee named Wendy Beetlestone.
She nevertheless said that discussing the influences of racism does not necessarily violate federal law and, and this is what's rather It deflates what she found earlier.
Training in concepts such as white privilege, white fragility, implicit bias, or critical race theory can contribute positively to nuanced and important conversations about the form of healthy and inclusive working environment.
Now, do you believe that?
White fragility, white privilege.
Talking about that, is that going to make that going to make a healthy, inclusive working environment?
That's what she thinks.
She says, indeed, this is particularly so in an educational institution.
I wonder why she makes an exception for that. DEI proponents have scored other victories. In March,
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit overturned a 2022 Florida law that banned
discussion of diversity and race in private workplaces. It violated the free speech rights
of businesses. Now, I sort of tend to agree with that.
If a private employer wants to tell all its white people that they're inherently bad and inherently oppressors and can't be cured and they're just going to die racist and nothing can be done about it, that's up to them.
I think that's a free speech matter.
But I think you want to sue and say that that creates a negative hostile work environment, you should have that right too.
And last month, a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Seventh Circuit upheld
the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a white Honeywell employee who said he was unfairly fired for
refusing to take the company's unconscious bias training. So I guess, Mr. Kersey, that means it's okay.
It's okay to fire white people who say nope, nope, nope, nope, I'm not going to go through this.
I'm not going to stand up and list all of my unfair privileges.
I'm not going to unpack that invisible knapsack that's just stuffed to the gills with all of my unearned and unmerited privileges.
Nope, nope, nope, not going to do that.
I guess you can be fired.
At least that's what happens in the Seventh Circuit.
But in any case, I think it's good that at least a few people are saying, look, to heck with this.
I'm not going to sit still and be told that I was born racist.
I'm going to die racist.
Nothing can be done about it.
Everybody else is wonderful.
Now, Mr. Kersey, you came up with a story that, even in my cynical, jaded old age, rather surprised me.
And apparently, a part of the age.
Yes, yes.
This was a booming surprise, even to this boomer.
Apparently we have to queer nuclear weapons.
Is that because they're phallic symbols?
What's going on here?
What gives?
No comment there.
Biden-Harris Department of Energy official calls for queering nuclear weapons as part of radical DEI agenda.
Yeah, you'd think this was a joke, maybe from the Babylon Bee, but... You would.
No, queering theory is about rejecting the tenet that Unilateral destruction.
Nothing mutual about it.
creates vulnerability. I'm not even sure what the hell that means. But mutual assured destruction
sure makes a lot more sense back in the 80s before detente with Russia, because I don't
think there is peace to be made with DEI. I think we have to eradicate it or it's this
type of thinking is what we're going to get. Unilateral destruction. Yeah, nothing mutual
about it. Assured unilateral destruction. Yes. Okay. Now, please, please explain.
Queering nuclear weapons.
This is just too much for my defogged boomer brain.
Yeah, it's too much for this millennial.
A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons, arguing that advancing queer theory was essential to that agenda as well as important to America's national security.
The Biden-Harris administration announced Sneha Nair has been appointed as Special Assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration.
In February 2024, Nair believes in eradicating purported white supremacy in the nuclear field, as well as, quote, queering nuclear weapons, end quote, as part of diversity, equity and inclusion push that she believes is essential for deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities in the U.S., quote.
Finally, queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament.
Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by
telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production
and testing." She argues that DEI more broadly is essential for creating effective nuclear policy.
Okay, before she joined the administration, she worked for the Stimson Institute, which has
received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros's Open Society Foundation, and millions
from the embassy of the state of Qatar over the years.
Fox News digital review of their funding resources, sources revealed.
So there you go.
We'll go on and continue a little more because there's some more funny stuff to bring up.
Wait, wait, wait.
Qatar has been giving money to an institute supported by George Soros?
That surprises me.
From the embassy of the state of Qatar over the years.
Wow.
Now what's this woman's name?
This, this, this, this queer, the queer, the weapons girl.
Well, her surname is Nair.
Her first name is.
Oh, how's that spelled?
N-A-I-R?
N-A-I-R.
And then her first name is, uh, S-N-E-H-A.
Sneha?
What?
Her first name, you spell it S-N-E-H-A.
Sneha?
N-A-I-R?
Is her last name?
Huh.
Wow.
Well, a sneoneer.
Here she goes.
I found her.
She's at the Stimson Center.
All right.
Yeah, she's one of these sort of mysterious looking people.
No telling where she's from.
She's probably something, I don't know, Middle Eastern or who knows what.
So she's going to queer the nuclear weapons.
Well, all right.
Well, there's a little more to it.
Oh, yeah, please, please.
A couple more paragraphs.
Okay.
Quote, by understanding DEI as a set of values critical to security and therefore as an element of an effective nuclear security culture, stakeholders can explore how DEI can contribute to stronger security at nuclear facilities, she said.
I'll tell that to the Rosenbergs.
Collectively, these principles of DEI can work to mitigate counterproductive work behavior and prevent disgruntled employees from becoming insider threats, she claimed.
Regarding race bias, she believes that white staff at nuclear facilities don't have the ability to properly evaluate threats from people of the same racial group, notably radical white supremacists.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Well then, fire all the whites.
Fire all the whites.
Have nothing but BIPOC fingers on the triggers.
Yeah, yep, yep.
They might have degrees from MIT and Stanford and Georgia Tech and all these advanced engineering programs for thermo...
Anyways, advanced degrees in nuclear science, but who cares?
Let's just fire them because they're automatically white supremacists.
Diversifying the perspectives included in the nuclear security decision making can expand the definition of who or what constitutes a threat for nuclear security, she said.
The notion of threat and security are defined by dominant culture, which inherently sidelines how marginalized groups perceive threats.
And dominant culture is an academic concept about power which refers to how the U.S.
has traditionally been shaped by white people.
And then it ends with this, Mr. Taylor.
As an example of this threat posed by some white supremacist group to nuclear facilities may go undetected if a white majority workforce Does not perceive these ideological leanings as indicators of a relevant nuclear security threat, she claimed.
She's been appointed to what now?
She is been appointed as a special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration.
You know, Mr. Taylor?
Yes.
When apartheid fell in South Africa, the Afrikaners did something really smart.
They had nukes, they had nuclear weapons, and they dismantled them so that the ANC would not get access to the nukes.
And I am becoming increasingly an individual who believes in disarmament as well, because I don't think we want a majority non-white United States to have access to nukes, especially if we see a resurgence in Europe and in Russia, because it would be quite disheartening to think that a Racial awakening has taken place in Western man and at the same time we would give weapons that could destroy that reawakening via people like Sneha Nair and those who want to queer up our nuclear policy.
Yep, yep, that's a concern.
You know, so she thinks if we have got white staff in these nuclear facilities, that's bad.
Because they're not sensitive to the threat of white supremacist terror.
Well, I guess, you know, that's like certain animals.
You know, there are animals that know when an earthquake is coming.
Did you know that?
They know when an earthquake is coming because they're more sensitive.
They start, they can feel certain advanced tremors before a human being can.
They start howling and acting strange.
So I guess, you know, you just have to have at least enough non-whites in these critical areas who can start howling and acting strange to give people warning so they can know white supremacy is on its way.
Oh boy, queering nuclear weapons.
Wow.
Well, let's see.
There's a story here about MIT.
MIT's incoming class of 2028, those are the newly minted freshmen, saw a precipitous drop off in the percentage of black and Hispanic and Indians and Pacific Islanders.
It is MIT's first undergraduate class to be admitted since the Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action.
And MIT is the first major university to release its new Post-racial preferences statistics.
Okay.
Yes.
The percentage of black students enrolled dropped from 15% to 5%.
And the number of Hispanic or Latino, take your pick, dropped from 16% to 11%.
Not quite as dramatic a drop.
White students also declined slightly from 38% to 37%.
And guess who increased?
11%, not quite as dramatic a drop.
White students also declined slightly from 38% to 37%.
And guess who increased?
Mr. Kersey?
I've got to go.
You couldn't guess, could you?
Maybe Eskimos, you know?
I don't know.
Maybe Indonesians?
Perhaps.
Asian Americans.
They went from 40% to 47%, so that's nearly half.
Nearly half of the students there are Asians.
That's nearly a 20% increase.
That's incredible.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
These admission results could put pressure on other schools, particularly Harvard and the University of North Carolina, who were sued directly under this, to demonstrate results consistent with those of MIT.
Otherwise, they could open themselves up to critics who will say they found some way to defy the Supreme Court's ban.
Now, Mr. Kersey, this will warm the cockles of your heart.
MIT officials took pains to explain that the enrollment decline in historically underrepresented minority students did not mean that the university used to admit underqualified students in the past.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I wonder, how do you explain this drop?
Oh, dear.
But, and the officials also said the change in the composition of the class had nothing to do with the reinstatement two years ago of the SAT as an entrance examination, as an entrance requirement.
I beg your pardon.
How can they say this with a straight face?
They get rid of racial preferences and blacks drop from 15% to 5%, Hispanics from 16% to 11% say no, no, no, no.
All those previous ones, they were just a crackerjack engineers and crackerjack computer scientists and But that's their story, and they're sticking to it.
There have been similar declines in the past, of course.
California's top rated state universities, after the state adopted a ban on race preferences
in 1996, for example, UCLA, the percentage of blacks fell from 7% to 3%, about what you'd
expect, and Hispanics from 22% to 10%.
But, you know, at least the non-whites who get in, the blacks and Hispanics, the non-Asian
BIPOCs, presumably they can hold their heads high and say, well, we got in under our own
power, under our own steam.
No preferences for us.
We'll see.
Now, Mr. Kersey, I think you have a story.
From Applebee's, that takes a dismal picture of some of our dusky brethren.
Well, you know, you see these videos all the time pop up on Twitter, on YouTube, on WorldStarHipHop.
For those who boomers might not be aware that WorldStarHipHop actually is a website that showcases these videos when fights break out at restaurants or at increasingly airports across the country or at most places.
Basically anywhere, spontaneous blackness erupts.
A Chicago woman arrested at Indiana Applebee's after argument over all-you-can-eat deal.
Shanisha Cobbs was charged on August 2nd with disorderly contact.
At about 8.38 p.m.
that day, Portage police officers responded to an Applebee's bar and grill for a reported disturbance.
When officers arrived, they heard several people yelling and screaming.
A woman spoke to police and said that she, along with Cobb, Cobbs, another man, and several juveniles were involved in an argument with the Applebee's manager.
The group was under the impression that they ordered the $15.99 all-you-can-eat deal for one person.
The order was good for the whole table.
A simple mistake.
A simple mistake.
Anyone could have thought that.
When the group was told that each person would have to pay $15.99 for the meal special, an argument started.
The group said the manager was unprofessional and that nowhere on the menu did it say that it was $15.99 per person.
Cobbs then handed the menu to Portage Police, who showed both Cobbs and another woman in the group that it said, per person on the menu.
So it did actually say per person on the menu.
At that time, a couple was leaving the restaurant and Cobbs pointed at them, stating that words had been previously exchanged between the couple and the group.
As the couple walked out the door, words were exchanged again and Cobbs allegedly became very loud and disorderly.
Police warned her that if she was continuing to be disorderly and one of the women in her group tried to calm her down, that didn't work.
The police told Cobb again that she was being disruptive and she would be arrested if she didn't stop.
She was then put into a squad car and taken to the Porter County Jail.
Her group did end up covering the entire bill.
I'm sure the tip was scandalously amazing as well on that deal.
Hmm.
I won't use a word that I won't use a word that it probably was.
How about parsimonious?
No.
Anyways, perhaps a niggardly amount.
You you you took the words that I was my tongue.
No, I mean, again, it's this is one of the reasons why food deserts exist.
This is one of the reasons why there are such negative stereotypes about black patrons at restaurants and why servers of all races dread.
They see a large group of blacks congregate at a restaurant.
You know, this really is a story of what I'm increasingly beginning to call negritude.
Here you have people who obviously were trying to pull a fast one on the restaurant and say, well, wait a minute.
Is this all you could eat?
That's all for the whole table.
But no, it says very clearly, everybody has to pay if everybody's going to have all they can eat.
That's very clear.
They probably thought they'd get away with it.
Some white waitress would say, oh, OK, OK, you know, and then swear under her breath.
And that'd be the end of it.
That's probably what they thought.
Then the police come.
They take this attempted scam and turn it into a resisting arrest problem.
Go downtown.
I mean, who would do this?
Who would do this?
And I don't wish to make unfair generalizations, but when you hear a story about this, you really don't have to know that the name of this person was, was it Shaniqua or Shaquena or something?
Anyway.
Enough said.
Probably more than enough has been said.
Her name was Shanisha, Mr. Taylor.
Shanisha.
Shanisha.
I'm sorry, Shanisha.
I got you wrong.
I got you confused to Shaniqua.
Well, you'll be glad to know, Mr. Kersey, that President Biden on Friday signed a proclamation designating the site of the 1908 Springfield Race Riot as a national monument.
A national monument.
Didn't that just make you proud to be an American?
That's a national monument now, where they had a race riot in 1908.
It has long been a calamitous symbol of the racism and intimidation that many black Americans have endured.
And in recent years, both of Illinois' Democrat U.S.
Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth Pushed for legislation to prioritize the site of the riot as a national monument.
Boy, that's something we must never forget.
Make it a national monument and post, what do they got?
They got park rangers cruising the place, you know, explaining it all and protecting it from anybody who might deface it.
Biden said to the national, at the Oval Office, we have no safe harbor unless we continue to remind people what happened.
Got that?
Unless we remind people what happened in the past, how wicked white people were over 100 years ago, there's no safe harbor.
The monument will protect 1.57 acres of federal land in Springfield and will be managed by the Department of Interior's National Park Service.
But won't that be a great assignment?
You know, you want to be a National Park Ranger, you think you're going to Yosemite, you get stuck in Springfield talking about rioters.
In the coming years, the Park Service will work with community groups to plan for interpretation, commemoration, and visitor experiences associated with the new park site, says the White House.
Those, let's see, there are the charred foundations of five homes that were never rebuilt.
Boy, better preserve them.
They are among the dozens burned to the ground by an angry white crowd that ran amok after two black men accused of rape and murder were spirited out of town by authorities.
And this riot spurred the formation of the National Association Advancement of Colored People, NAACP, founded on February 12, 1909, on Lincoln's birthday.
Of course, it was funded and run by white people, but nobody ever talks about that.
Teresa Haley, immediate past president of the Springfield branch of the NAACP, said the city remains racially segregated more than a century after the riot, and it's all white people's fault.
This is an opportunity to think and put yourself—imagine yourself living during that era, experiencing that race riot, and black people and white people lost their lives.
Well, yes, it's true.
Apparently, what happened is two black men were held in jail.
One was accused of raping a white woman, and another was accused of killing a white man.
And a bunch of whites gathered outside the jail—pardon me while I sneeze.
No, go ahead.
I'm somewhat ready to sneeze at this story.
Well, yes, it does feel like pepper up your nose, doesn't it?
A large mob of white people gathered outside the jail demanding the two people released so they could lynch them.
Not their finest hour.
To prevent that, the county sheriff and a white businessman Secretly moved the two men out of jail, put them on a train, which took them 60 miles away.
When the mob learned of this, it grew violent, burning black-owned homes and businesses in Springfield and attacking residents.
So about three dozen businesses in one neighborhood were attacked, half of them black-owned and many others Jewish-owned.
Apparently it went after the Jews because the Jews were seen as supporters of the blacks.
Well, these establishments were looted and vandalized and several dozen homes of black residents were destroyed.
Ultimately, one of the men was convicted of murder and sentenced to death.
The other, the alleged rapist, was freed after the woman who accused him of rape recanted her story.
Now, according to Wikipedia, About 17 people died in this.
Nine blacks, but also eight whites.
Eight whites who are associated with the mob.
Dozens of black homes and businesses were destroyed, as well as three white-owned businesses.
These were owned by suspected black sympathizers, those of the Jews we were talking about.
But this is to be something we must never be made to forget.
Now, Mr. Kersey, why Why are blacks so eager to make national monuments out of these places?
Why do you think that is?
You know, I mean, why is Emmett Till still brought up to this day?
I mean, why is he brought up?
I mean, it comes down to the fact that Tulsa is a city that I'm sure they want to make an entire shrine to for the Black Wall Street that was destroyed.
Selma.
I mean, again, you've crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Like myself, you've been to Selma, that holy of holy places, that shrine, and you've crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
You've been to Montgomery.
I mean, in Alabama, there's a monument to all the lynching victims.
Yes, every lynching ever.
That's a national monument.
Well, yeah.
Now this, you know, it seems pretty clear to me.
Black people in particular want to remind people at every opportunity, look how bad you've been.
Look how bad you've been.
You owe us.
You really were awful to us, and so now you better be nice to us.
It's a way to put Whitey on the hop, make us defensive, make us say we owe them anything they could possibly ask for.
Reparations is only the beginning.
But the incredible thing is all white people go along with this.
I mean, Tammy Duckworth, I don't know what race she is.
She's white.
Isn't she one of the senators?
Oh, got to make a national monument about this.
All the bad white people.
And Dick Durbin, I think he's a white guy, for heaven's sake.
What is Tammy Duckworth?
Is she Asian?
What is she?
I think she's something.
She's a little bit surprising.
Duckworth, what a name.
Maybe you can look it up while we go on to something else.
Tammy Duckworth.
Because pretty soon, you know, you've got this really interesting story about Birmingham.
We need to get to but I mean, Mr. Taylor, there's another city.
I mean, again, you talk about all these civil rights places where, of course, the the Baptist Church that was bombed back in the 60s.
Yeah, all these places, you know, there's Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham.
They actually have monuments to The police dogs that Bull Connor had where you can actually see the ferocity of these dogs that were unleashed upon the peaceful civil rights civil rights agitators.
I didn't know that.
I encourage all of our listeners around the world type in Kelly Ingram Park civil rights and take a look.
There used to be before the events of George Floyd in 2020 a beautiful Confederate obelisk There that had been put up, I believe, in the early 1900s.
It had lasted for 120 years.
It was this monumental civil rights monument to the Confederate dead of Birmingham.
I'm a fourth or fifth generation Birminghamian.
Obviously, white people rebuilt the city over the mountain in Vestavia, Mountain Brook and Hoover, and very few white people go back.
I mean, Birmingham is one of the blackest cities.
Birmingham, Alabama, ladies and gentlemen, it's one of the blackest major cities in the country.
And, you know, It's looked at as this great civil rights achievement, place to go visit, and it's not.
It's like Selma, like Selma, I guess, you know, this high holy place of civil rights just tumbled into terrible disrepair and degeneracy once the white people moved out.
But, yep, all of these things we must never forget.
White people must beat our breasts until we beat ourselves to death, to death probably.
But let's see.
Oh, here's a little story.
Wales.
Wales is going through a seizure of idiocy like so many other countries.
Librarians have been informed that they should avoid holding meetings in racist buildings.
This has to do with programs on decolonization training.
Libraries across Wales have been given the task of becoming anti-racist in line with the Labour government's pledge to eradicate systemic racism by 2030.
Wow, did you know they were going to do that?
Boy, are they ambitious.
I bet if you asked Kamala Harris, could systemic racism be eradicated by 2030, she'd say, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It's far too deeply ingrained for that.
And as part of a 130,000 pound project to instruct local librarians in critical whiteness studies and how to deal with The dominant paradigm of whiteness.
This is in Wales, mind you.
The dominant paradigm of whiteness.
Yes, Wales suffers from a dominant paradigm of whiteness.
Can you believe that?
Advisors on the process have made clear that the training sessions should not take place in buildings with a racist past.
The guidance comes after dozens of buildings in Wales, from pubs to community centers, were put on a government-backed list of sites linked to slavery and colonialism.
The warning in the guide says, be mindful of the venue you have chosen.
Do not choose a venue with a racist legacy, especially if you're trying to eradicate systemic racism.
If you have to use a venue with a racist past, acknowledge this as early as possible to demonstrate your commitment Ah, this is all part of an effort across the cultural section in Wales to comply with the Labour government's 2022 anti-racist Wales action plan.
Anti-racist Wales.
Buildings are racist, our nuclear weapons need to be queer.
And Wales, Wales has got to have white supremacy eradicated.
Figures with connections to slavery and empire include Admiral Nelson, A hero of Waterloo, Thomas Picton, Francis Drake, and the Duke of Wellington, the Iron Duke.
These are all bad, bad people.
And believe it or not, the entire 4,600 person village of Nelson, which itself is named after a pub, has been flagged in a draft version of the audit.
That's because Nelson.
That's Admiral Nelson.
Admiral Nelson was bad, so the whole town of Nelson named after him.
Oh, that's racist, too.
Can't have any anti-racist training there.
I would think they'd need it most.
Also, the one-story Picton Community Center was flagged because this fellow who I'd never heard of, the Waterloo hero named Thomas Picton, named for him another bad guy.
Can't have any anti-racist training there.
Then there is a Garonwy Owen Timery School, named for the Welsh poet.
Never heard of him either.
Flagged because its namesake owned slaves.
Garonwy Owen owned slaves.
Columbia House in Newport, a government building.
That's also no—oh, Columbus House.
Columbus House.
That's no good, because he was the first colonizer of the New World.
Gladstones Library.
That is a memorial library for William Gladstone, a four-time prime minister whose father, whose father, received compensation for his Caribbean investments when slavery was abolished.
So even anything having to do with the Gladstones, you know, the crime goes up the family tree and down the family tree as far as you can go.
A total of 93 buildings in Wales.
are now officially racist.
See, I've got a question with that.
Wouldn't any building that's ever sheltered a white person in the United Kingdom and Wales and Scotland or England or even Ireland, wouldn't that qualify as racist?
Because, you know, there was offspring generations.
I mean, just go ahead and just raise the entire island and just declare all buildings, all monuments, all All streets that they perpetuated white supremacy and that if you're really going to go after the stuff, let's get serious here.
That's right.
Any street that a white person walked down, it's got to be razed, eradicated.
No, none of this.
Well, gosh, you know, it looks like, golly, are we almost out of time?
Mr. Kersey, it looks like we are out of time and we failed When we should have to explain to people how they could get in touch with us.
And we repeat this every week because it's true.
We love to hear from you and we love to be corrected.
Although it was embarrassing to have made, at least I made this, this silly error about statistics last week around.
I'm very grateful to all of you.
And there must've been at least a dozen of you who wrote in to set me right.
And the way you can do that is to go to amren.com, A-M-R-E-N.com to the contact us page.
Then you can send a message straight to me.
And the other way to do it is... Shoot me an email.
BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
BecauseWeLiveHereAtProtonMail.com.
And Mr. Kersey, as always, the time just races by.
We have so many more interesting things to say.
Well, we'll have to save them for next week.
Ladies and gentlemen, this really is a joy and an honor to spend this time with you every week, and we look forward to doing the same thing next week.
