Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Radio Renaissance.
This is Paul Kersey, and today I have the esteemed honor and privilege of being joined by the gentleman who gives the final address at every American Renaissance conference, Mr. Sam Dixon.
Sir, I don't think you need an introduction, but how are you doing this afternoon, sir?
I'm doing fine.
How are you?
Well, I am standing in as the co-host of this program because our fearless leader...
Mr. Jared Taylor is attending the Remigration Conference, and he has done a wonderful write-up on that event that I encourage all of our listeners to check out at amren.com.
But before we get started...
If anybody has any stories, any corrections, or any suggestions, you can go ahead and send those to me at becausewelivehereatprotonmail.com.
Once again, that email address is becausewelivehereatprotonmail.com.
And Mr. Dixon, we usually talk about stories and we break them down.
So today, this has basically just happened as we were getting ready to start this program.
And that is our president.
President Trump was hosting the South African president at the White House.
And I want to make sure that you saw this because it has been extraordinary to see the reaction by the corporate media to what transpired in the Oval Office.
And it almost, for people, especially someone like you who's been paying attention for so many decades, what happened today in the Oval Office with President Trump and...
Remifosa, it's pretty mind-blowing.
And I'm going to go ahead and read from Time Magazine because the corporate media has used words such as...
Let me just read what they've said, Mr. Dixon.
They've said...
Let's see if we can find it.
Unfounded, untrue conspiracy in regards to what's happening to the genocide, to the situation white South Africans face.
Of course, a couple weeks ago, we saw a couple score Afrikaners get refuge in the United States.
And I just want to ask you before we get to the story, what was your reaction, sir, when you saw those couple score?
I was happy and I was amazed.
I never thought I would see an American government do that.
Well, what happened today might have even put a cherry on top.
So you had Cyril Ramaphosa, the South African president, and his delegation.
They were in the Oval Office meeting with President Trump.
And all of a sudden, the lights in the Oval Office were dimmed with a line of reporters in the room.
And the Time magazine uses the word he was...
Proceeded to be ambushed by President Trump as the delegation watched in silence at a video that the Trump team put together, which he believes supports his claim that Ramaphosa's government was turning a blind eye to violence against white Afrikaners.
When Trump identified images of crosses along a road as the mark graves of murdered white farmers, Remifosa said he hadn't seen that before and he would find out where it was filmed.
The video also showed South African opposition leaders, Julius Malema, calling for the death of white farmers.
Remifosa said he condemned those remarks and his political coalition had been built to sideline those Basically, those people in many cases are being executed, they happen to be white, and most of them happen to be farmers, President Trump told Ramaphosa.
He said there's a lot of violent crime in the country, but black and white citizens are both targets.
There is criminality in our country, people who do get killed.
Unfortunately, through criminal activity are not only white people, President Trump was told.
Mr. Dixon, I'm sure you know that South Africa is one of the most violent countries on the planet.
They have about 27,000 homicides per year.
What are your initial thoughts as to what happened in the Oval Office today?
Yeah, I'm even more surprised than the United States allowing white South Africans to come here as refugees.
It's really shocking.
Trump has done far more than I ever thought he would do.
And it's just stunning to have a black leader of a black nation in the Oval Office confronted with the anti-white hate and the anti-white discrimination.
It's really astonishing.
And it's not astonishing, but highly informative to see how the American media and how American liberals react to that.
Rolling Stone actually put out a tweet.
They said, And he told Trump, I'm sorry, I don't have a plane to give you.
I guess that's a reference to Qatar or that nation that just gave Trump a plane.
And it's funny.
Wasn't a few years ago that Rolling Stone was sued by the University of Virginia Fraternity Brothers for claiming the whole...
And here we are now with one of the biggest obvious things that's happening in the world, and that is the persecution of white farmers, Afrikaners, and the entire media establishment, as you just said, sir, is aligned to keep this obvious truth from being exposed.
You don't have to really delve into weird, marginalized, obscure, right-wing pamphleteers or racists to see.
What is going on?
If you look at the media with a room temperature IQ, you see that the media reveals what it is primarily in what it reports and what it doesn't report, as well as how it reports.
All three of those things give the key to showing just how hate-filled and venomous and really murderous the media is.
Compare the treatment of George Floyd.
Incident, which that's all it was, was an incident, to the dismissal of 5,000 white farmers being killed in South Africa.
Just compare that.
See how they dwelt on George Floyd for years.
They show the video of Officer Chabon, I think his name is.
Yeah, Derek Chabon.
Apparently putting his knee on George Floyd's neck, although there are those that say that if you look at more accurate videos, he actually had it on his shoulder or something.
But anyway, if you take everything the leftists say about George Floyd as true, I mean, just take it to the ultimate conclusion that Chauvin was a white racist who deliberately murdered George Floyd.
Just take out all the other information.
What you're dealing with is one guy killing one black in one city in a nation with 30 million black people.
And probably 500,000 white cops.
This happens.
It became the fixation for years and the justification for massive black and white leftist violence against white people all over the country.
And here you have 5,000 white farmers killed, and the media says it's debunked.
It's unsubstantiated.
You have major black leaders in South Africa leading sing-alongs in which 50,000 people are singing basically kill the white people.
When they say farmer, they mean the Afrikaner birds or boars, as they call them, which is Dutch and Afrikaans for farmer.
And so they won't admit that's happening there, but one black in Minneapolis is enough for them to just go into overdrive.
And that tells you what these people are and how dishonest they are, how hate-ridden they are, how they're controlled entirely by ideology.
All that matters to them is ideology.
All truthfulness, refraining from lying and bearing false witness, all these things mean nothing to them.
It's strictly the party ideology.
We're dealing with people basically a Stalinist mindset.
What's fascinating about what you just said in regards to The Derek Chauvin incident, which, mind you, the five-year anniversary of that is coming up on May 25th.
So we're recording on May 21st.
It's almost been five years.
And it would be unthinkable to think that on May 31st, 2020, Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters stormed the White House fence.
President Trump had to seek refuge in the bunker of the White House because they thought that they could breach the walls of the White House.
They broke the fence.
60-plus Secret Service agents went to the hospital that night, Mr. Dixon.
And, of course, nobody talks about that incident.
he wanted to know what white rage is.
And here we are five years later, and to see the President of the United States of America and Trump in a second term dress down.
The South African president for white genocide.
Are we in the same planet as to what's happened?
When you think about all that happened, all the craziness post-George Floyd to this moment where...
Gosh, I would argue that for the white liberal, South Africa is still in 1994, that jubilation of Nelson Mandela becoming president.
And nobody cares about what happened afterward because guess what?
that's just proof that those racists were right, that blacks couldn't engage in self-government, that things would collapse, that basic infrastructure would fall into disrepair, that they couldn't maintain what they were basically Well, I think the critical thing is to look at our own race, particularly those who are religious liberals.
The leftism and egalitarianism.
The race mixing has been pointed out many times before.
This is a religious belief.
Basically, you see in the grocery store, fat-free milk and fat-free half and half.
This thinking is basically what I call fact-free.
I have a liberal and leftist relative who once got angry and said, why are you always talking about little fat?
Because the little facts contradicted all of his religious beliefs.
It'd be like trying to explain to Torquemada, the head of the Inquisition in Spain in the 1500s, about why there are only two sacraments instead of seven, or why the host of the communion ceremony does not become physically the blood and body of Jesus Christ.
You would have a better chance of getting a fair hearing from Torquemada than you would from these people that are running our society today.
So it is wonderful to see Trump doing this.
And this is a very different Trump than the one we saw in 1916 when he was first elected.
2016, 2016.
2016, 2016, yes.
Thanks for correcting me.
It's okay.
But I have to be the party pooper.
And those of us who are involved, those who are listening, and the people who attend American Renaissance and read the website, you know, we are realists.
And we see things as they are and not as the head table and the Sunday school teacher.
Tell us they are.
And the fact of the matter is that this gesture, while it's very welcome, it exposes the brutality and hate of the media.
The fact of the matter is that the dynamics of power in America have changed very little.
And Trump will be gone in four years.
And probably a left-wing Democrat will be back in.
Meanwhile, in all the positions of power...
The media, even Harvard, which is probably being spanked, they would rather give up the money than to allow ideological diversity on their teaching.
The fact that they have to keep the ideology, they're willing to give up.
Two million dollars a year.
So anyway, the reality is that America, our enemies retain power throughout the private sector and throughout other areas of our society.
And so it's nice to have Trump doing this.
Those who interpret this as being a change of direction in American history, I think, are pretty clearly incorrect.
Well, one of the fascinating things, sir, about President Trump's second term is he does seem to have learned a lot of the lessons, and he is aligning with some issues that have caused a lot of controversy.
Obviously, USAID being...
Defunded has been extraordinary.
And Doge, of course, unfortunately, Elon Musk has decided to somewhat bow out because of the Republicans' refusal to put into law a lot of these massive cuts.
As you are reading the New York Times and I take a look at the Washington Post, there's been a number of stories lamenting the fall of the black counties, such as Prince George's County in Maryland, which is right.
Very close to D.C. because so much of the black middle class exists due to this artificial creation of government jobs, of federal jobs.
And that pipeline goes away.
There's no way to see that replicated, sir, in the private sector.
Well, that's true.
I read a study by Atlanta University Business School.
Atlanta University is more of a historic black colleges.
It was a study they made in opposition to privatization of things like Atlanta.
I mean, you figure that...
My guess is around a fifth of the Black population is not capable of being, they're always unemployed.
And you see these wrecks walking around, talking to themselves, drunk, working hours.
These are people that just no employer can afford to allow them into the office.
So when you figure maybe 80% of Blacks have jobs, 75% of them work for government, that leaves about 20% that have jobs in the private sector.
And of those, probably...
80% are working for minimum wage, and the others are mostly tokens.
They're in private business because the law firm has to be able to show the federal government and the banks for whom they do closings, they have to present every year pictures of the members of the firm, and they have to have black faces there or they won't get those contracts.
So the idea that Republicans will ever get the black vote is just, you know, that's off the table.
Even if race wasn't the primary motivator, which I think it is, of how people vote, they wouldn't get it because most blacks would be worked for the government.
Thank you.
Going back to the mainstream media, the New York Times in their article, they said false claims of white genocide, ABC unfounded claims, debunked conspiracy theory.
That was CNN's headline about white South African and Trump's comments to Ramaphosa.
False claims, said Forbes.
I mean, again, this is a religion.
And I guess my question to you, sir, is are these individuals who are so wedded to this theology, are they willing to go down with this ship to ensure that they don't have to say and whisper with horror, oh my God, the racists were right.
Is that really where we're headed?
The last thing anybody wants to do is to say that they're wrong.
You have to be willing to say that if you're going to be a thoughtful person.
You have to be willing to listen to other points of view and facts.
And I myself have changed positions on a number of issues on which liberals have convinced me.
I'm not a diehard conservative by any means.
I'm probably a liberal on more issues than I'm a so-called conservative.
But most people will never do that.
They will never, ever admit they're wrong.
And certainly not in a public way that would be embarrassing.
You're not going to see Anderson Cooper on CNN or Mary Louise Kelly on National Public Radio admit they were wrong.
You know, this is not going to happen.
And also, it's a hard line to draw between those of them that are actually motivated by...
Private greed as opposed to insane delusions.
Our leader Jared Taylor, whom I have great reverence and respect, believes that most of them are sincere and that they're well-meaning.
I don't agree.
I don't think most of them are sincere or well-meaning.
I think they're evil.
Mary Louise Kelly makes money.
By distorting the news.
And I think she knows that.
And that she lies about things.
She lies by omission.
I've used this example before of the white prisoner.
I think his name was Patrick Williams or something like that.
You can find him online.
But he died of a grotesque sexual assault by 10 Blacks, who knows how many Blacks, in an Alabama prison.
And the prison tried to cover it up.
He tried to attribute his death to heroin overdose.
The family didn't believe him, and they had their doctor check the corpse.
And he said, no, he didn't die of heroin overdose.
He died of a horrific sexual assault.
Mary Lee's Kelly and all the others in the media, they chose not to report that story.
Wrong race of victim and perpetrator, wrong sexual orientation, this kind of thing.
They became, in my opinion, accomplices that to the fact, and they enable this kind of society.
I think a lot of them act out of just very greedy principles, like politicians.
My guess is if you give a dose of sodium penthol to people like my distant cousin, John Edwards, the former senator of North Carolina, my guess is that many of the white liberal politicians are simply cynical opportunists.
Well, I guess to put a bow on our conversation, sir, about South Africa, we have a lot of younger listeners.
And just kind of give us a historical 40,000-foot overview of what South Africa really represents in the racial endgame, of what the great hope was for a multiracial South Africa under Black control, under Black democratic control, and of course, what it's spiraled into and what that represents for Americans as we see.
The demographic changes, we can look at the micro cities that have fallen under black rule, such as Detroit, Baltimore, Jackson, Mississippi, I think is the most obvious and atrocious endgame of what that represents.
I'd love to just hear that from you, just an overview.
Well, I think for the overview, we go back again to my attempt as somebody who has no credentials in psychiatry to assess the psychology of these white people.
Now, some of them, as I said, I think are just complete opportunists, like John Edwards and Mary Louise Kelly of NPR and Anderson Cooper.
But there are tens of millions of them who are believers.
They really believe this stuff, and they seal themselves off from information and ideas and facts, arguments that would disagree with what they say.
But one thing also about them, I think you can observe, is that there's an element of...
Being manic in these people.
We used to talk about, you know, mania.
I think now they call it, what they call it, bipolar.
But being old, approaching 80, and having spent about 65 years of watching this, I've seen that over and over again, you have these outbursts of mania from these people.
You know, the yes, when they topple apartheid, the new age would come in.
The lion would lie down with the lamb, and everybody would be happy.
Standard living would rise.
They're always chasing some oasis of utopia that flutters out somewhere on their horizon.
They never really get there, and it never turns out that way, but it doesn't make any difference.
We aren't trying equality hard enough, basically.
Yeah, we got to do more.
We just don't want to go back there.
Just no more reference.
One thing that young listeners might be interested in was when Papadoc, most people have heard of Papadoc Duvalier, the incredible voodoo ruler of Haiti.
Of course.
When he was first elected, the American liberal media was ecstatic.
The advent of Papadoc Duvalier, it represented the beginning of a new Haiti.
A social revolution because he wasn't from the muetto class, the mixed class that generally runs things in Haiti, the 5% or 6% or 7% that are partly white and sometimes actually predominantly white.
He represented a genuine black person with no admixture of white blood, and he was a medical doctor who devoted himself, that's where he got the name, Doc.
He had devoted himself to how, well, they were just ecstatic.
And no one ever points out how absurd and silly they look now, having welcomed Papa Doc Duvalier precisely because he was devoid of any white European ancestry.
And we've had these, there were lots of them that hail the advent of Mao Zedong in China.
The agrarian reformer who's going to bring social justice, Dean Rusk, who later ran the phony Vietnam War.
I became Secretary of State under Kennedy and Johnson.
Dean Russ characterized Mao as the George Washington of China.
And they're always doing this.
They've done it with busing all over America.
Oh, if we just bus the children in Charlotte and racially balance every classroom as is done in Charlotte over a tremendous geographic area, then equality will come in because inequality has nothing to do with any kind of physical difference.
It's all due to white racism.
Well, their experiment has been tried thousands of times, and there is no scientific evidence.
There's no data to support the experiment, and they never revisit it.
They don't go back and say, well, what happened after the schools in Charlotte, North Carolina, were racially balanced?
Five years later, had the black IQ gone up?
Had the scores on SCT tests gone up?
No.
There's no evidence that it does any good at all.
But we pursued this for three generations.
And they assure us that it's just better and better.
It's not better and better.
In many respects, Blacks today are worse off than they were when all of the blame-whitey, blame-segregation, fix-em-all-up program began.
Black homeownership is lower today than it was when the Fair Housing Act was enacted under Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s.
Black illegitimacy rate is now three times what it was.
When the desegregation decision allowed to speak to the Board of Education was handed down, this stuff is a complete, total failure.
But the manics won't ever recognize that.
They're always just one more program, one more busing plan, one more anti-white South African plan away from this utopia that flutters about on the horizon of their deluded world.
You know, it's funny.
I had no idea about how bad the busing situation was even into the early part of this century when I had some friends at an undergrad who were from Mecklenburg County in Charlotte.
And they told me they had to spend an hour sometimes going to and from.
So two hours on a bus just so they could have the racial balance correct.
They lived in some of the nicest suburbs in Charlotte.
But due to this...
Insane busing policy.
It didn't matter because the public school, they had set up this system and it's just like, well, why didn't your parents just send you to private school?
And they would always say, well, where we lived was basically zoned as a private school, but we still went along with it.
It just blew my mind that people would subject their children to such an intolerable situation.
Well, there's no treatment of what happened to the white children in this either.
I know a lawyer here in Atlanta who recounted to me what happened to him.
And the busing thing.
The very first day of the busing plan, a gang of blacks beat the hell out of me.
And then this was very common.
The blacks arrived and they started attacking white kids.
The media, the media in general, all over the country in a period of years did the usual masterful job they do of omitting all of this from the news.
But no one ever weeps for whites suffering.
The 5,000 whites killed in South Africa.
You're not supposed to talk about that.
And gentrification is another example.
The blacks and their white sycophants in Atlanta have their panties on a wad about gentrification.
Atlanta, as many cities are, is gentrifying and white people are no longer willing to do these long commutes.
And they're open about that.
This is destroying the ethnic homogeneity of these neighborhoods.
There was never any concern about that when it was a matter of driving whites out of their neighborhood.
That was white flight.
Whites are blamed if they move away.
Whites are blamed if they move in.
There's nothing we can do that will ever please these people.
Sorry, I'm having a little trouble under the weather here.
But yeah, you're exactly right.
And I think that is a perfect segue to an incredible story out of Atlanta where you know all too well.
I know a few things about Atlanta.
Before we get to this, I'd like to point out that in 1910, Atlanta was 66% white.
In 1950, it was 63% white.
Yeah, yeah.
You're talking the 1900s?
Yep, yep.
These are the numbers.
In 1950, Atlanta was 63% white.
In 1970, six years after the implementation of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, Atlanta was 49% white.
In 1990, about the year that Atlanta was given the Coca-Cola Olympic Games, Atlanta was 30% white.
As of right now, the census says Atlanta is 38% white, but I think you disagree with that, correct?
That's not true.
Whites are the largest ethnic group now in Atlanta.
I think they're actually a majority of the population, but they're understated.
I thought the last census said they were 42%.
But Blacks are now the second largest, I think.
All over America, I could see this coming in the 70s.
I knew that it was inevitable that this set-up in America, where the whiter you were and the richer you were, the farther away you lived.
So the surgeon who's working at Emory Hospital or Crawford Law Hospital, Atlanta, We'd live in Alpharetta and we'd drive an hour and 15 minutes to the hospital and then an hour and 15 minutes home in the afternoon.
But the scrub woman would walk to work.
That's just not the way it was in any city in Latin America.
It wasn't the way it was in Europe.
And it says people could know this was going to change, that there would be gentrification.
And that's why I started buying land in Atlanta in anticipation of it, which paid off.
Whatever we do, they like to talk about racism and hate.
Trump himself likes to focus on anti-Semitism, the terrible scourge of anti-Semitism, which we know is really not the case.
Imagine what the Jewish community would say if you had a critical race theory classes in the schools and just took out the word white and put Jew in.
It's basically an hour-long class of let's hate the Jews.
They wouldn't put up with it for a second.
But our people are so passive, they didn't put up with it.
And it shows.
They're not interested in fairness or justice.
It's racial assault on us by rival races, and you have a lot of whites who go along.
Why I bring up Atlanta is our next story is a pretty big deal in the local Atlanta media, and that is a report, Atlanta Among Cities Hardest Hit by Gentrification, Black Displacement.
That was May 15th, Fox 5 Atlanta.
Just to be brief, a new report from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition shows Atlanta has the second highest number of neighborhoods.
That flipped from majority black to majority white between night 2020.
Gentrification has led, Mr. Dixon and our listeners, to the displacement of an estimated 22,000 black residents in Atlanta with neighborhoods like the Old Fourth Ward, East Atlanta, and Kirkwood among those most affected.
Basically what they say is...
Over the past 50 years, 15% of urban neighborhoods have shown signs of gentrification, that is, neighborhoods that white people previously fled that became majority black.
Gentrification, of course, is a code word for white people returning and improving said degraded community.
While still relatively unknown, gentrification is on the rise.
The number of gentrifying neighborhoods grew from 246 in the 1970s to 1807 in the 2010s, these white pioneers.
By the numbers...
Between 1980 and 2020, 523 majority black neighborhoods experienced gentrification.
It's funny, Mr. Dixon, we never hear about between 1960 and 1980 how many majority white neighborhoods experienced black majority – I don't know what you'd call the word.
Degradation?
Is that the right word?
I don't know.
Demographic change.
Black – yes.
We won't be so – We won't be so caustic and hostile.
Of those, 155 went through full racial turnover, changing from majority black to majority white.
Another 121 became more racially diverse.
In total, there are now about 261,000 fewer black residents in formerly majority black, now gentrifying neighborhoods.
Like I said, the cities most affected by racial turnover and black displacement include Washington, D.C. I know very well
too.
And that's a city where...
Along the Beltline, which was a plan by a Georgia Tech student getting his master's, there was a railroad that was basically abandoned around the city.
And his master's thesis in 2000 was to, well, let's turn that into a walkable path where people can run and we can see mixed-use buildings go up around it.
And it has, to his horror...
It's turned into an engine for white economic growth to the detriment of those blacks who reside in those areas and basically just turned it into some of the most dangerous ghettos and real estate in the country.
There are many comparisons that can be made.
You and I both have cited in this conversation the comparison between how whites being driven out of their neighborhoods is compared to the opposition to black whites now.
Moving into black neighborhoods, but on a nationwide level, the same people who are concerned about gentrification, and they are big people.
These are study groups and activist groups all over America that are funded by private and public money, and lots of people are employed full-time to complain about it.
It gets respectful treatment in the media.
These are the same people who are indignant if we are to express our concern about the loss of our country.
The demographic change, losing our own country, that's racist.
They're not going to put up with that.
But it's not racist to try to stop whites from buying houses in black neighborhoods.
It doesn't violate the Fair Housing Act to try to stop whites, try to prevent whites from moving.
There are cities like Atlanta that have programs of discriminatory funding and stuff to try to prevent whites from...
Buying in these neighborhoods.
That sounds illegal under the Fair Housing Act.
But as a practical matter, as with so much of the American judiciary and the law system, what's on the paper in the code books does not matter very much where the rubber hits the road in the courts.
Well, getting back to the story about Atlanta, the areas of Atlanta that have changed the most are Old Fourth Ward, East Atlanta, Reynolds Town, Kirkwood, Edgewood, Grant Park.
I've got a number of friends who actually were able to buy homes in the late – actually, it was during the credit default swap collateralized debt obligation collapse back in 2007, 2008.
And it was extraordinary what you could get prices, the prices you could get for the homes there.
The areas that saw the sharpest rise in this white population.
After the East Side Trail, the Beltline, they've attracted these beautiful new apartment complexes and you have all these microbreweries, these restaurants.
It's really extraordinary when you think about what Atlanta was during, goodness gracious, who was the mayor in the 19th who stopped Freakneck?
I can't remember.
I didn't think anyone really stopped Freakneck.
People who were opposed to Freakneck were denounced.
Was it Bob Lennox?
Is that a name that sounds familiar?
Was it Lennox for some reason?
I can't remember.
We didn't have a mayor named, I think there was a city council or something, Mo Max, maybe a county commissioner.
It was definitely the mayor after Andrew Young.
It was the first, because they always had these light-skinned black mayors.
Sim Reed was the one who just completely ran things into the ground.
Anyways, we could wax about Atlanta.
But basically, this article continues and we get some of the funniest.
Here's the best part of the article.
When you dig a little bit deeper in the article, it says the pros of gentrification.
What do you think some of these are, Mr. Nixon?
I'll read them to you.
And this is the article in the Fox 5. The pros would be that there's more race mixing.
That actually is number five, diversification of neighborhoods.
But here are the top five pros of gentrification.
The pros say decreased crime.
That's number two, reduced crime rates.
And here again, we have the delusion that the crime rate has nothing to do with race.
And then there'll be probably something about increased home values, but they actually complain about that, too.
Yep.
So here are the top five, according to this Fox 5 article lamenting the increase of whites and the black displacement.
Top five pros of gentrification.
Economic revitalization.
Gentrification often brings new investments to neighborhoods, leading to improved infrastructure, increased business activity, and rising property values.
Number two, reduce crime rates.
As investment increases and community resources improve, many areas see a decline in crime.
Three, improved public services and amenities.
Revitalized neighborhoods may benefit from better schools, parks, transit, and healthcare services due to a higher tax base.
Number four, increase property values.
Homeowners may benefit from increased equity and increased housing.
and resale value.
And number five, as you foreshadowed, diversification of neighborhoods.
Some view gentrification as a way to promote racial and economic integration in historically segregated communities.
Now, Mr. Dixon, there are some cons of gentrification according to this article.
Number one is this, displacement of longtime residents.
Rising rents and property taxes.
Cultural displacement.
Yes, that's what it says.
I think if whites who listened to rap music had dreadlocks, if they moved in, I don't think they would end the criticism.
What they're really saying is racial displacement.
Perhaps they're worried that the Martin Luther King natatorium will be renamed for Sam Dixon as the leader of the gentrification movement, or maybe Ivan.
Who was the mayor?
Who was the last white mayor?
It was Sam Bissell, but who was the one before then?
Ivan Allen, was that his name?
Yeah.
Number two, con of gentrification.
Loss of cultural identity.
Gentrification can erode the historical and cultural fabric of a neighborhood as new, wealthier residents reshape the community.
Number three, con.
Widening inequality.
Benefits often accrue to wealthier newcomers while long-time residents might not see the same gains or may suffer setbacks.
Four, increased cost of living.
As neighborhoods gentrify, the overall cost of living, groceries, services, retail can rise, straining long-term residents.
The areas that used to be food deserts and where every item in the store was behind a security device where if you went into a CVS, if you're lucky to have a CVS and you ask for a tube of toothpaste, the clerk had to get it for you because it was behind plexiglass.
I guess as that visible reminder of blackness is removed, I guess that is an increased cost of living in an aggregating white community as the black resident total starts to drop.
And number five, Mr. Dixon.
And dear listener, community tensions is one of the cons of gentrification.
Social friction can increase between new and existing residents due to differing expectations, norms, and priorities.
Notice that there's no tone of moral condemnation for what they're really talking about, which is that...
Blacks have their own culture and standards and stuff, and they don't really want white people around.
White people that had different norms and all this sort of thing, that statement would be filled with moral value judgments and condemnation of whites.
And this is not news to all of us who are involved in things like this podcast, but it's worth noting just the degree to which these people hate white people and the lengths they will go to to suppress information.
How everything is strained through a sieve of ideology and prejudice.
The most amazing thing, as I said before, is that you could have the race-fixing program nationwide.
And Dr. King is applauded for having solved the race problem by ending segregation and mixing the races.
But as I said, there's no evidence that this did any good for Blacks at all.
National Public Radio, which I listen to almost daily, was upset several weeks ago because funding was being cut on Head Start.
Here again, there's no evidence that Head Start actually ever helps the children at Head Start.
It was going to be...
It was going to cure...
All of the white problems were due to white people.
Just white people.
You know, go to school with Blacks and all that stuff, and we'd be into the promised land.
The Blacks would become more intelligent.
They would become more orderly.
They would learn how to make money.
They would become middle class.
Welfare would be eliminated.
None of these things took place.
Like Oregon and South Africa.
Under apartheid, South Africa had to have border control to keep Blacks out.
They were trying to make the end.
They were trying to leave liberated Black countries to move.
To the white people.
Access to white people is not a human right.
That's the one thing that always blew my mind as I started to read and become really interested in the social experiment of black self-rule in South Africa.
It's, wait a second, during apartheid, this doesn't make any sense.
Why did the black population increase so dramatically if this was the most evil system that has ever been devised and had to be...
The same oddness is seen in our own country.
This has been pointed out by a lot of people.
If the New York Times editorial board and National Public Radio and Washington Post, if they really believe what they're saying about America, you know, critical race theory, that American whites are just evil, demonic, hateful, cruel, ventures and rapists and so on, they should be doing everything possible to warn these non-white immigrants, for God's sake, whatever you do.
Do not come to the United States.
But they know underneath that what they're saying is a lie, and blacks and non-whites have been privileged in this country for generations, not just the last 20 years, but all the way back.
Even in segregation days, blacks were privileged and exceptional blacks were, you know, I remember my grandparents and great aunts and uncles talking in a little village of McClellanville in South Carolina, north of Charleston, where they lived.
There was a black guy, and I think it was Robert Shepard, and he had a successful seafood business.
And they would speak admiringly of him.
They liked him.
They admired him.
Comment on him.
They wouldn't have commented on some white guy that set up a successful seafood business, but already they were actually very kindly disposed.
You understand when you read these histories, these accounts of how savage and evil whites were, if we'd really been the way that they said we were, none of this would have happened.
Precisely.
No, precisely.
And I think, again, there are little moments right now where you're beginning to realize, and again, I know you don't believe that there is an electoral Outcome possible to fix the great sickness that exists within the dwindling American people.
But there are signs, there are anecdotes that there is a heartbeat still alive.
And this is one of them, Mr. Dixon.
The DOJ is investigating Chicago hiring practices amid backlash over Mayor Brandon Johnson's viral comments.
This is from ABC7 Chicago.
The Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether Mayor Brandon Johnson or others have engaged in a pattern or practice of racial discrimination in their hiring practice.
Now, real quick background for our listeners.
Chicago is majority white, barely.
It's about 33%, 34% white, 28% black, heavily Hispanic, about 27% Hispanic, and then the rest, admixture of Asians.
But it's a very segregated city with an alderman system.
The white neighborhood communities voted exclusively for the white candidate.
The black communities voted heavily for the black candidate.
The Hispanic communities voted heavily for the Hispanic candidate.
And then the areas where you've got a number of the universities located there, Northwestern, University of Chicago, they voted regrettably heavily for the black candidate, which put him over the top.
Why this story is so important is because Mayor Johnson was giving some remarks at a church service where he highlighted the number of black individuals hired by the city.
Quote, The deputy mayor is a black woman.
Department of Planning Development is a black woman.
Infrastructure deputy mayor is a black woman.
Hey, our chief's operation officer is a black man.
Two administrations ago, 70-75% of the administration was primarily made up of white men.
In my administration, 45% of my administration is black.
25% Latin, 30% white, 8% Asian.
It's the most diverse administration in the history of Chicago.
What I'm saying is when you hire our people, We're the most generous people on the planet.
I don't know too many cultures that have play cousins.
That's how generous we are.
We just make somebody a family member, right?
That's just how we are, Johnson said in reference to.
The Blacks.
Addressing the investigation, Mayor Johnson stated, My administration reflects the country.
It reflects the city.
His administration reflects the country club, referring to President Trump.
There are many detractors that will try and push back on me and say the only thing the mayor talks about is the hiring of Black people.
No.
What I'm saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else.
We're the most generous people on the planet.
Just your quick thoughts on that before we move a little bit further in the article.
Well, it's all self-promotional.
It's just not true.
They are not at all generous.
They're very tribal.
They look after their own.
In that sense, they are smarter.
Their practical intelligence is higher than that of white people.
And their behavior is perfectly normal.
What is abnormal and to be condemned are people like the journalists we've spoken of, Mary Louise Kelly and Addison Cooper, who are my favorite whipping girl and whipping boy.
They are the ones who are abnormal.
And so, yes, he's putting a positive face on what is really discrimination.
You know, some years back, somebody I know got Open Records Act, sort of Open Records Act requests on the city of Atlanta and found that, as I knew from personal experience and suspected, there wasn't a single white person working in the water department.
It was 100% black in a city where whites, even by this inaccurate census, says 38%.
Probably whites.
The whites are probably more like 48% or 50%.
And they're probably 60% of the working age population.
And not all of them was working there.
In fact, there were no Hispanics.
There were no Hispanics.
There were no Asian.
There were no Native American Indians.
100% African American.
And in general, in the city of Atlanta, about 85% of all the employees are African American.
And everybody else is the 15%.
And there's never any outcry about that.
You mentioned the alderman system in Chicago where they do have white people on the city council.
We have that in Atlanta.
I don't know a single member of the white member of the city council who has ever spoken out on the fact that the water department does not hire a single white person.
They want to go along.
They want to show they believe in the dream.
Well, that or Marta as well.
I think I read the same report and our same breakdown and it was astonishing.
If you've ever ridden Marta, you would.
You have this conclusion, but I think MARTA was about 95% employed by Blacks, even though Fulton County is barely a Black majority.
Same thing with DeKalb, which Atlanta is strangely part of two counties.
And then the city of Atlanta, being what it is racially, it basically seems like this is a form of racial socialism for otherwise unemployable Blacks, which is what DOGE basically showed, is that the federal government is a jobs program to create an artificial Black middle class.
That the private sector can't replicate.
We could expand our subjects to include American education.
The American educational system, even areas that are all white, in my opinion, would be an embarrassment to Haiti.
It is a pathetic thing.
You know, the students are full of leftist novels and diaries and programs and all this stuff.
They can't count.
They can't multiply.
They don't know the alphabet.
They can't write cursive English.
They don't know who Shakespeare was.
They don't know how to fix a washing machine.
They're just being robbed.
Of 12 years of their lives being warehoused in what are really very expensive babysitting establishments to enable the parents, both the parents, to work, the wife as well as the husband.
The amount of money spent on my education is fantastic.
I figured out Atlanta one time, I think I came up with the cost per student is such that a classroom with 30 kids in it.
Maybe 28 kids.
That represents $420,000 in that room, taxpayer money.
Are we getting $420,000 money out of that?
Not only for white kids, but for black kids?
No, we're not.
This country, that's why I don't hold out hope for Trump.
I think he's trying.
I certainly admire him for trying.
But it's too far gone.
It's too sick.
You can take other things, too.
The military.
We have a military budget.
Almost equal to the military spending of every nation on the planet.
And yet when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, even calling up the reserves and the National Guard, we had difficulty putting 140,000 soldiers into the wars.
It's just a colossal boondoggle to fill the pockets of people like Liz Cheney and her father Dick Cheney, the people that run this blood money racket.
This is a profoundly sick country, and the good news is it's not going to last.
We will survive.
I think one of the problems with whites in English-speaking countries is that there's a superficial continuity in England.
There's been a monarch living in Buckingham Palace for 400 years now, a House of Lords, a House of Commons.
In America, there's been a paper document under glass in the Smithsonian called the Constitution.
There's been two Houses of Congress and a President and a White House now for 200 years plus, whatever.
Not quite that much.
Well, yeah, we've got 250 years.
But anyway, people in our world, in our area of the white world, they haven't lived under different governments as people in Germany and Russia and Poland and France have.
And there's a difficulty white people in our country have between thinking outside the box.
I hear people say, oh, if we lose this election, the country is lost.
The people are lost.
No.
The government would be lost.
But, you know, Poland had no government for 150 years.
150 years, you know, they were ruled by foreigners.
The Poles were still there.
And this thing will not last.
And I can't believe that 150 million Americans of European extraction are just going to walk off the page of history and be massacred and otherwise programmed for destruction without there being some kind of reaction.
And we can do whatever we want to.
When things break down, as they will break down.
That would be our opportunity.
In this case, just sending this letter that Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dillons stated in the letter that if these kind of hiring decisions are being made for top-level positions in your administration, then it begs the question whether such decisions are also being made for lower-level positions, end quote.
And of course, you were in Atlanta when Maynard Jackson became the first black mayor, and he basically did everything he could to implement Minority Business Enterprise, MBE.
Which he bragged about creating a new class of black millionaires due to getting contracts with Hartsfield International Airport and other public works opportunities that were denied to white businesses, white contractors.
And then this was also replicated in Coleman Young's Detroit.
This happened in any city where you saw that initial black mayor.
That was one of the first things they did was, how does my election benefit?
Who, whom?
At the expense of who, whom?
And that's a question that so many white people are terrified of confronting that this racial experiment was all about.
And the collective expression of a group getting the benefit of said government power to benefit their group at the expense of others.
And that's pretty much what South Africa, what we've been talking about at the macro level and then at the micro level of Atlanta.
And I can't believe that this has been a full hour conversation.
Mr. Taylor always likes to keep these to an hour, Mr. Dixon, and I can't tell you how much fun this was.
It would be exciting if someone like, say, Heather McDonald or Amy Wax, who spoke at the last New Century Foundation conference, or Jared Taylor, or say an Ann Coulter, or say a Sam Dixon were employed by the Department of Justice to actually slap some consent decrees on these cities, like they have the police for- Hold that thought for a second.
I know we're about out of time.
So you have to examine America and anything else in terms of the practical facts on the ground, what Lenin called the objective factors.
The fact of the matter is if the Justice Department sues Chicago or indicts the mayor of Chicago, the jury is going to engage in jury nullification.
They're not going to get a conviction in front of a profoundly black jury in Chicago of a black mayor.
It's not going to happen.
And so these things done by the White House, they're fine.
I applaud President Trump for things like this.
But the fact of the matter is...
That in day-to-day life, it's not going to have much impact.
It doesn't change the situation or the fact that the situation is going to continue to spin out of control.
And that's a very valid point.
But until then, we are going to be here each and every week bringing you Radio Renaissance.
As stated, we were honored to have Sam Dixon step in the role of co-host.
Sir, you might have to do it one more week before Mr. Taylor returns.
But we thank each and every one of you, our listeners, for giving you...
