Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populous conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host for tonight, James Edwards.
Welcome, everybody, to the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
I'm your host, James Edwards.
It's Saturday evening, July 16th, and I'm coming to you live tonight from a hotel room in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Yes, my friends, if you can believe it, I am dialed in to our home studios, AM 1380WLRM, in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, from a phone in a hotel room.
My wife and I decided to bring our little baby on a family weekend getaway.
And so here I am, but still not going to let a vacation ruin all the fun to be had on the show tonight.
And keeping things straight in Memphis for us this evening, sitting there at our flagship station is none other than my co-host, Keith Alexander.
Keith, it is so odd for it to be 6 p.m. Central Time on a Saturday night and you and I not be side by side.
But everything going well there at the fort?
Yeah, but I don't think I can be credited with keeping things under control in Memphis.
I don't know of any people, person, or group of people that could do that.
Thanks for the vote of confidence anyway.
Well, you might not be able to keep things under control in Memphis, but just keep things under control there at the radio station for the next three hours if you can.
And I'll try to do the same thing here in Hot Springs.
Uh-oh, I hear your baby in the background.
Yeah, that's right.
We're going to have to do something about that, I think, here for a minute.
Maybe the show's producer.
I don't know.
No, no, no.
That's one of the things when you do the show with the family, you're going to get the family sometimes in the show.
But it's exciting, you know, to be here and to be able to do it from vacation.
And Hot Springs, of course, Keith, only about three hours from Memphis.
Very beautiful.
Lots of lakes.
You're in the middle of the Ozark Mountains and a lot of history in Hot Springs.
And as we were driving downtown on Bathhouse Row today, we saw a nice Confederate monument with the Confederate flag flying right there at the center of town.
And so, you know, Hot Springs still very much aware.
If you're on Bathhouse Row, I'm glad you're in Hot Springs and not in San Francisco.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Yeah, they don't have a different bathhouse out there, don't they?
It's a different kind of bathhouse in Hot Springs, I think.
But anyway, my friend, I know we got a very busy show tonight, as you know.
Alana Mercer, a very acclaimed author and columnist, will be with us during tonight's second hour, and we got a lot of fun in the third hour as well.
But first things first, Keith, and that is the first hour.
And I know you've got quite a bit in store for the fans this evening.
Yep.
Let me just tell you, we're going back to the original format of my segment of the show, which is Behind Enemy Lines, where we scan the local newspaper and find articles that may be somewhat disguised, don't really announce themselves, but have a great deal to do with the battle between liberalism and conservatism that is constantly being waged in the United States.
Now, an article that really grabbed my attention that I intended to go over on this segment last week, but we're having so much fun doing what we did that we didn't have time for it, is an article from the July 2nd, 2011 Saturday commercial appeal on page A4, and it's an article entitled Court Rejects Affirmative Action Ban.
Here's what it says, Los Angeles.
This is where it's coming from.
Michigan's ban on considering race and gender in college admissions was struck down Friday by a federal appeals court, which ruled that the voter-approved law burdens minorities and is unconstitutional.
The two-to-one decision overturns Proposal 2, a law passed in 2006 that prohibits the state's public universities from giving preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
Now, the Michigan measure, which passed with 58% of the vote, forced the University of Michigan and other state schools to change admission policies.
The three-judge panel from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Now, the policies they were trying to change were the affirmative action policies that give preference to non-whites over whites, specifically blacks and Hispanics.
Yeah, Keith, I remember when this passed in 2005, I believe it was, maybe 2006, up in Michigan.
And basically, you know, even still to this day, when given an opportunity to vote on these so-called sensitive matters, the public still always votes with us.
And there in Michigan, they voted down affirmative action as it applies to college admissions.
You know, the most qualified scholar gets the scholarship, God forbid.
But now, as it always is, it's been struck down by judges.
Well, it's been struck down by liberals who have liberal judges covertly positioned on all of the federal courts now.
And this is why we keep coming back to the importance of the Brown decision.
We'll talk more about that later in the show because, quite frankly, each one of these things I'm bringing up in this first hour will track back to that discussion.
But basically, what happened was you had a three-judge panel on the Sixth Circuit, judges R. Guy Cole Jr., a black, typical black partisan judge who was appointed by a Democratic regime, and Martha Craig Doherty, a white lesbian woman.
They were the two votes in favor of overturning the affirmative action ban.
And of course, that affirmative action ban was one of many affirmative action bans that was presented and ramrodded through by Ward Connerly, who is a black Californian who is rather unusual in that he is actually an opponent of affirmative action.
Said the lone dissenting judge, Julia Smith Gibbons, who's from Memphis, by the way, argued that through Proposal 2, Michigan had removed politics from the admission process.
The Michigan voters have therefore not restructured the political process in their state by amending their state constitution, which is what the other two had suggested in their opinion, she said.
They have merely employed it.
Now, this is important to understand what's going on here.
Basically, it's now racially discriminatory to prohibit racial discrimination according to the Sixth Circuit.
Now, this case is definitely going up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I hope that people understand just how tenuous a good result is in this.
The conservatives, through Hooker Crook, about the only really good thing that George Bush did during his presidency was appoint two people to the U.S. Supreme Court that were rock-solid conservatives, Samuel Alito and John Roberts, at least by Supreme Court standards.
However, they join Scalia and Thomas in the conservative wing, and then there's a swing vote in Anthony Kennedy, who is vaguely conservative, kind of like a neocon is vaguely conservative.
But he's been known to make common cause with liberals and vote on the liberal side of things.
Now, if one of those five were to die or to be disabled and have to be replaced with Barack Obama as president, you know he's going to appoint some off-the-charts liberal like Sonia Sotomair.
And her lack of qualifications apparently hardly even came up during the confirmation process.
On the other hand, when a conservative is appointed, they pull out all the stops.
They get the private eyes working.
They try to dig up everything they can in the way of dirt against the political cesspool guy.
Hold it right there, my friend.
You're making good points, but we've got to pay the bills, and we've got to take a break.
So stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen.
The Political Festival will continue right after these words from our sponsors.
Don't let me be misunderstood.
Don't misunderstand me, baby.
Don't let me be misunderstood.
Don't misunderstand me.
Jump in the Political Festival with James and the gang.
Call us tonight at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards.
Welcome back, everybody, to the Political Cesspool Radio Program as we broadcast this Saturday evening to the AMF and affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
And, of course, we're similar casting online this evening at thepolitical cesspool.org and libertynewsradio.com.
Kind of an unusual broadcast of the show as I am coming to you from a hotel room in Hot Springs, Arkansas on vacation with my family this week.
And we did a lot of things today.
We went up to a mountain observatory.
We saw the lake.
We went to a botanic garden, very beautiful woodland gardens here in Hot Springs.
And of course, with my wife being here, we hit up a shopping mall.
And Keith, you know what that's all about?
Oh, yeah, man.
I tell you, I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
I've been married for 30 years and have three children.
So I know exactly what you have in store for you, young man.
Don't we talk about it all the time?
But nevertheless, Keith Alexander is back home in Memphis tonight at AM 1380, WLRM Studios.
And during this first segment tonight, Keith has been talking about the overruling of the voter referendum in Michigan a few years back that threw out affirmative action in cases of college admissions.
And it's interesting, Keith, that in this ruling that overturned the will of the public, that they said that by banning affirmative action, minority students wouldn't be able to compete.
So basically, in their decision here, they are essentially admitting that without affirmative action, they can't compete on a level playing field.
Well, you know, by the plain language of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, this is racial discrimination.
They are discriminating on the basis of race.
But, of course, that all flows like water off a duck's back to liberals because liberals, like the Queen of Hearts, believe that words mean exactly what I say they mean, nothing more and nothing less.
Now, you see what this, this decision is basically a monument to the intellectual contortions that liberals are capable of achieving in order to continue to press forward the liberal agenda.
Now, what's happened in this decision, for example, it's just, you know, it's discrimination by race is racial discrimination, even if your intention is to help black people.
They don't seem to understand that.
You know, I've always, have you ever heard a liberal say, you know, my heart tells me to make a decision in favor of black people, but, you know, my intellect and my devotion to the judicial process or to principle means that I'm going to have to rule against it.
I've never heard a liberal say anything like that.
I hear conservatives saying things like that all the time.
Liberalism doesn't see any disconnect between principle and logic and their goals.
And that's the problem that we have now as conservatives.
See, it's, you know, the next step, as the Sixth Circuit said, is going to be to close your eyes to the fact that racial quotas and preferences are being employed.
They, you know, they just will not accept unequal results based from equal opportunity, which, of course, is backed by a lot of science, particularly the science of Herrnstein and the guys that wrote the Bell Curve.
Herrnstein and Murray wrote the Bell Curve, and they said that there are differences, quantifiable, demonstrated differences based on the measurement of IQs between the races.
But nonetheless, you're going to have to have a cadre of blacks in every area of endeavor or else that's proof of invidious discrimination.
Now, see, we've now had three entire generations of white people who have suffered from racial discrimination under affirmative action.
And we, you know, all of these people that want to point to Richard Nixon as this stout-hearted conservative that was brought down by the evil liberals at Watergate need to remember that it was Richard Nixon, the Rockefeller Republican, the rhino, who actually was the first U.S. president to effectuate affirmative action in what he called the Philadelphia Plan, which gave preference in federal government contracting to blacks and Hispanics.
You know, he is the source of the problem.
I know I personally have suffered from affirmative action.
I had a work study job when I was going to college working in the registrar's office.
And my job was to make a certified copy of everybody's transcript to enclose with any application to graduate school, law school, medical school, or to transfer.
So I had access to everybody's grade point average and standardized test scores.
And I remember when I was a senior, I noticed that a black fellow student that I knew was applying to Vanderbilt Law School just like I was.
Now, I compared our transcripts.
I had a much higher grade point average and a much higher LSAT score than him.
So I said, well, this is a slam dunk.
You know, I will probably get in.
He won't.
Well, guess who got in and guess who got slammed dunk?
You know, and this was back in 1973, folks.
So consequently, this has been going on for well over 40 years in America.
You know obviously, the fact that he got into the prestigious Vanderbilt LAW School and and you didn't, despite grades and despite SAT scores.
I don't guess it becomes more self-evident than that, Keith.
Well, you know I know a lot of people suspect and a lot of people also want to shove it to the back of your mind.
I remember when I was a young man I said well, I'm not gonna let that hold me back.
You know, I'm gonna go ahead and you know, conquer the world and whatnot.
And then, at age 45, when you see all this hadn't panned out, you begin to revisit the question and say, I wonder what my life would have been like if I had been a Vanderbilt law graduate as opposed to, let's say, a Memphis state law graduate, an OLD MISS law graduate, a University OF Tennessee law graduate, and it's obvious that it would have made a big difference.
When you look around the local BAR Association and see who's with these silk stocking law firms, who is made partner, who is on the gravy train, who's making $300,000 plus a year and who isn't, they are basically giving these people a free ride on the trolley train of life by giving them affirmative action.
And there are real world consequences to this and you know we need to understand that.
Affirmative action is as imprinted and as embedded in our institutions of higher learning, in our government, in big business, as segregation was embedded in the mindset of George Wallace and, let's say, Alabama governmental officials back in the 1950s.
You know it's going to take a really effective legal challenge and a great deal of energy and just a relentless attitude towards reversing affirmative action to make any difference in this, because all the people that hold these positions, these gatekeeper positions in society, now have sold out to liberalism.
You know that's the way to get ahead in life and people understand that.
And you know, if you're a conservative, even when I was in college you had to hide your light under a bushel.
I can imagine you have to hide it under a hay sha haystack now, James.
Well, that's exactly right, Keith.
And see, this is a perfect example of the.
You know the lack of fair play that we confront now and it's you know it is holding people back.
It is keeping people.
You know Pat Buchanan, back around 2000, wrote a series of articles about admissions policies at Harvard and YALE, which he called the breeding stables of America's leadership, and he showed that the least represented segment of the population, in terms of their percentage of in the student body compared to their percentage in the population as a whole, as a whole, were white gentiles.
And that shows you that if these are the breeding stables of America's leadership, who's going to be leading America in the 21st century?
And they don't intend for white gentiles to be part of that leadership cadre and we're sitting back and allowing this to happen.
People are sticking their head in the sand like an ostrich, but the ostrich approach never works.
The ostrich thinks, because he doesn't recognize danger.
Danger can't recognize him.
Meanwhile, his big posterior is waving around in the air making a tempting target Keith, with that ostrich analogy.
Let's let the people marinate with that in their minds and we're going to come back and give them more right after this.
It's time for a timeout here on the Political Cesspool Radio Program.
On the show and express your opinion in the Political Cesspool, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the Political Festival Radio Program.
James Edwards and Keith Alexander with you hosting this first hour.
Got another big news item before we continue on this evening.
Keith Alexander knows about this, of course.
And I think the only other person I've told other than the immediate staff of this program is actually a friend who lives right here in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where I am, and who I'll be having breakfast with tomorrow.
But the National Policy Institute, everybody remembers Richard Spencer's great interview with us last week.
And of course, I'll be speaking at the National Policy Institute's conference in Washington, D.C., September 9th to the 11th.
And of course, we still want everyone to register and join us there for that.
But in addition to that collaborative effort with NPI, NPI will also, beginning, this is a tentative date, but we believe beginning Saturday, August 6th, our first broadcast of next month, the National Policy Institute will be offering a live video feed from inside our radio station.
So in addition to being able to listen to the show on the internet and on the AM FM dials and the various local markets that we're affiliated with, you will be able to watch us hosting the show on video thanks to NPI starting sometime in August.
We are predicting that to be August 6th.
So that is pretty big news, and we wanted to bring that to your attention tonight as the Political Festival continues to expand and move forward, offering new treats for the fans who have been sustaining us now for seven years.
And talking about the fans who sustain us, it is, of course, the hosting staff and the production crew that sustains me, especially tonight.
As I'm out of town, Keith Alexander driving the commentary for the bulk of this first hour.
Bill Rowland will be handling the primary interview duties with our featured guest of tonight, Alana Mercer, who's written a brand new book about the travesties taking place in South Africa.
So with Bill and Keith picking up the slack during the first and second hours respectively, I have had time to come here and enjoy a nice weekend vacation with the family.
And of course, during the third and final hour, I will be with you solo and have a few news stories to share with you.
So anyway, Keith, thanks for picking up the weight, my friend, and making it easy for me this hour.
You're doing a great job, and I know you've got more to bring to the fans' attention.
Well, in the immoral words of the Holly's, he ain't heavy, he's my brother, right?
I don't mind toting that load.
Well, I appreciate it.
Good Holly song right there.
And I'm sure they were speaking our language.
No, they weren't speaking our language.
They were speaking the language of liberalism.
That's what they were intending.
It goes with typical brain-dead musicians.
I love the comment by Aldous Huxley about musicians.
He said, anything too stupid to be said can always be sung.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, let me get back to our behind enemy lines analysis of the Memphis newspaper.
I'm reading from now an article from the Wednesday, June the 15th, 2011 edition of the Commercial Appeal.
This is the headline in local news section B of the newspaper entitled, Wells Fargo Denies Any Lending Bias.
Reply to Memphis Shelby suit cites social conditions.
Mortgage giant Wells Fargo says in a new court filing that Memphis and Shelby County are trying to blame the company for long-running social problems that have plagued the city for years.
The city and county filed a lawsuit against Wells Fargo, that's a bank and lending institution, by the way, in 2009 seeking unspecified monetary damages.
The government's also called for the bank to offer affordable loans to African American neighborhoods and the African Americans who live in them, by the way, I might add.
The suit alleges that unlawful, irresponsible, unfair, deceptive, and discriminatory lending practices, well, they were that, but they were in favor of black people, lending practices by Wells Fargo in Memphis and Shelby County violated the Fair Housing Act and the resulting foreclosure crisis drained government coffers.
Wells Fargo rebutted these arguments in a recent filing.
The company said many of the foreclosures highlighted by the city and county were triggered by a complex weave of life circumstances, job loss, illness, death, and divorce that typically precipitate foreclosure, financial upheaval, and other personal tumult, and maintains that its foreclosures are just a drop in the tsunami of foreclosures that washed over the city and county in the last few years.
A cursory investigation of the circumstances leading to these foreclosures demonstrates that Memphis and Shelby County's allegations that resulting vacancies were caused by discriminatory lending practices simply do not withstand scrutiny, the company's representative said.
It says, in May, U.S. District Judge Thomas Anderson said in a 32-page decision that Memphis and Shelby County had adequately argued, let me find the rest of this article now.
Adequately argued, here it is, down in the middle of the page.
Wells Fargo's practices could have had a disproportionate impact on African Americans.
In Shelby County between 2000 and 2008, loans made by Wells Fargo in predominantly black areas were eight times more likely to go into foreclosure than loans in white areas, even though Wells Fargo made nearly four times as many loans in mainly white communities according to the complaint.
The suit also alleges that 43% of Wells Fargo's foreclosures were in mostly black neighborhoods, with mostly black borrowers, by the way, though only 15% of their loans originated there.
Former Wells Fargo employees in Memphis have said that the company sought out African Americans, apparently some black with a chip on their shoulder because they got fired for incompetence, with high consumer debt and got them to refinance the debt using their houses as collateral, placing their homes in jeopardy when they hadn't been before, according to the suit.
City Attorney Herman Morris said yesterday that the city is ready to fight it out in court, but declined further comment.
Now, let's break this down.
Here's what happened.
In the Carter administration, a federal law was passed called the Community Reinvestment Act, which basically forced banks and mortgage companies to make loans to black people and to Hispanics, regardless of their credit history, regardless of their credit worthiness.
And this carried dire consequences for the bank.
If you were found to not be doing that, making these improvident loans to blacks and Hispanics to buy houses, you would find that you were being audited by banking officials, that you were having bank merger proposals turned down by the Justice Department.
So consequently, the banks got the message loud and clear that by hook or crook, they're going to have to find some way to lend money to blacks and Hispanics.
Therefore, you have this seeking out of black borrowers.
Now, the black borrowers, of course, are always looking for the most wham walking around money in their pocket.
So that means having the lowest possible house note.
And the lowest possible house note was almost always invariably achieved by getting what's called an ARM, an adjustable rate mortgage.
When these adjustable rate mortgages adjusted upward and the house note was larger, these people couldn't meet it.
Furthermore, just as the Habitat for Humanity people found out, even when you give blacks a house, which is what happened in the HabPat Humanities situation, if they own the house, which they do, they're going to probably lose it because Cousin Tyrone or somebody is going to get thrown in jail.
Somebody's got to throw his bail, and the bail bondsman is going to be looking for collateral, like a second mortgage on their house.
And then when Cousin Tyrone doesn't show up in court, as cousin Tyrones are often wont to do, then the house is going to be foreclosed on.
They lose a house.
In fact, they had another article in the commercial appeal recently in which they said that black people have now discovered since this great foreclosure debacle and housing bubble in the United States, they really prefer renting.
They'd much rather be on a six-month or a one-year lease.
And if times get tough or money gets short, they can bail out and move in with their auntie or their mother for a while and then go back into an apartment when they get on their feet financially rather than when they go into financial problems.
Then they're in default.
They lose a house.
They lose all this money they put into it.
And their credit is wrecked and they've got a 30 years worth of payments that they're responsible for.
So consequently, again, it's that pernicious honkies are to blame for this.
You know, that somehow we have trapped these people into thinking that they want home ownership and they don't.
Now the city of Memphis and Shelby County are upset because foreclosures mean a decline in general house prices and declining general house prices.
House values are what property taxes are based on.
So when they decline, their revenues decline also.
Keith, we got to take another break, my friend.
Ladies and gentlemen, don't go anywhere because Keith's going to continue his excellence right after these words.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back.
To get on the political cesspool, call us on James's Dime, toll-free, at 1-866-986-6397.
And here's the host of the political cesspool, James Edwards.
And as I know you always do to begin with, but during tonight's third hour, I have a lot of stories for you, interesting stories that I want to bring to your attention.
The primary theme, though, will be anti-Southern movies.
You know, we continue to break our own records for web traffic at thepoliticalcesspool.org.
And one of the stories this week featured on our official internet headquarters that is getting a lot of comments on the blog pertains to a Quentin Tarantino forthcoming motion picture entitled Django Unchained.
I will be telling you all about that during tonight's third and final hour.
But until then, I am basically just serving as a traffic cop bringing Bill in the second hour and Keith right now in and out of breaks as they hold court and make up for me being out of town.
And I tell you what, it's great to know that we're going to have a great show, even though I haven't been able to participate too much under the circumstances.
That's what happens when you have great co-hosts.
So, Keith, you know, you were bringing up a story that you found in the local Memphis newspaper.
The title was Wells Fargo Denies Lending Bias.
You know, one of the things, I don't have any affinity for the bankers or the banking industry, God knows, but they truly have been caught between a rock and a hard place here in Martin Luther King's Diversity Wonderland because, you know, they don't want to give loans to people who are likely to default on their mortgages.
So what do you do if you're a lender and you got a black coming in or a black couple coming in asking for a loan?
If you don't give them the loan, you're going to catch hell for discriminating against minorities.
If you do give them the loan, odds are they're going to default and then you're going to get in trouble for being a predatory lender.
So really, what are they going to do, Keith?
It's catch-22.
In fact, it's not just a matter of turning down people that come in.
If you have a bank in a city like Memphis, which has a majority minority population, and you don't show a fair number of loans to black people, and you've got to monitor this and report it to the government, well, they're going to be suspicious, and you're going to catch the wrath of Khan as a result of it.
So consequently, that's why, for example, they're out here trying to enlist blacks to make these loans.
And, you know, despite all of this, being forced by the government to make loans and then punished with a lawsuit by the left because black people proved to be predictably unable to meet their obligations on these mortgage loans, they haven't learned a thing.
They're still pandering away to their heart's content.
Here's the last of the article.
It says, as the company's court battle against the city and county continues, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, i.e. black mayors, announced Monday a three-year alliance aimed at preventing foreclosures.
We intend to bring proven technical capabilities and educational materials through our Leading the Way Home initiative to help municipalities address the current housing crisis, said Mary Coffin, Executive Vice President of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, in a statement.
The program will include regional forums featuring mayors and Wells Fargo experts who will share strategies to prevent foreclosures.
Well, how about the strategy of not making loans to people that aren't credit worthy, regardless of their race?
See, this is another instance of affirmative action, just like the prior article about college admissions and Proposal 2 in Michigan.
Affirmative action in lending.
Now is not the new frontier.
It's the old frontier now.
You have to have affirmative action in everything.
Now, let's move on to the third article.
Setback but striving.
This is in the Commercial Appeals Viewpoint editorial Friday, July the 15th of 2011, just a couple of days ago at page A6.
As you can tell, ladies and gentlemen, this is a common occurrence with Keith.
He likes to pluck stories from the local Memphis newspaper and bring it to the attention of an international listening audience.
Keith, tell them the logic behind that, though.
Well, America is like, I mean, Memphis is like a canary in the coal mine.
If it's happening here, it's going to happen in the rest of America and the world eventually.
We have a majority minority population in Memphis right now.
Based on the demographic changes that have been predicted by the UN experts and others, by the year 2042, all of America will have a minority majority.
And as areas like Memphis become hellholes like Detroit because of an increasing minority population, minorities will branch out and being places where they haven't been before, like Dubuque, Iowa, or Waterloo, Iowa, or Cody, Wyoming, for example.
And all these people that now, you know, if they want to see a black person, they have to turn on the television sets, will be treated to the joys of multicultural living and diversity.
And we're trying to be Paul Revere giving the warning to people.
And, you know, you can get this information by reading your local newspaper, but you've got to cut through the liberal cant.
And that's what we try to do.
Now, this setback but striving article is really interesting.
Memphis taxpayers can't be faulted for misgivings they might feel over the city's decision to award a $9 million contract to a company that declared bankruptcy a few weeks ago.
Still, there are good reasons to cheer for Nelson Incorporated, a 39-year-old Memphis firm, to succeed.
Nelson is believed to have won the largest contract the city has ever awarded to a single minority contractor.
The company's financial status apparently had no bearing on its bid, the lowest among four.
Okay, it says they're going to provide a sewer line for $9 million.
Now, this shows you the incredible pressure that governments are under to give contracts, lucrative government contracts, to minority-owned firms.
Even a firm that went into bankruptcy a couple of weeks ago, if that was a white firm, they would be absolutely disqualified.
They would have been dropped like a hot potato, dropped like a bad habit.
But because it's a minority firm, not only do they get it, we hear this lionizing editorial in the Commercial Appeal telling us about what progress we're making and what a good thing this is for the taxpayers of the city of Memphis.
Now, why am I going into these articles?
This is affirmative action in government contracting, affirmative action in the Wells Fargo story on mortgage lending, and in the first segment on the reversal of the ban on affirmative action in college admissions in Michigan, affirmative action in college admissions.
Why am I going through this?
We're going through this because all of these articles taken together show that banning racial discrimination is now racially discriminatory.
Equal protection under the 14th Amendment now requires equal results for blacks and Hispanics with whites despite scientifically verified differences in talents and intelligence.
At Kernstein and Murray's The Bell Curve, for example.
The results of this are invidious racial discrimination against whites.
Societal dispossession of whites is now cloaked in righteousness and endorsed by the courts.
Two of these articles, actually all three, reveal that the liberal blueprint for societal change.
We are always harping on the Brown decision, Brown versus Topeka Board of Education, handed down on May the 17th, 1954.
Brown is the key.
It had much more significance than just affecting racial integration in the public school systems of America.
These articles demonstrate that a proper understanding of Brown is essential to effectively resisting liberalism and liberal change in America.
Nevertheless, left is frustrated in its efforts to transform society.
invariably resorts to the tried and true strategy set by the Brown decision.
Challenge the law or custom frustrating your plans for radical egalitarian change in America as unconstitutional, then shop for a federal court, the federal court system for a friendly liberal judge to bring suit before.
Now, let the liberal friendly judge rule that the law or custom in question is unconstitutional, and if the executive or justice department is in bed with liberalism, they'll simply refuse to appeal.
If the judge rules against the liberals, not to worry.
You can appeal it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where conservatives now hold a tenuous 5-4 majority, and the swing vote, Justice Anthony Kennedy, has been known in the past to be a soft vote who often sides with liberals.
This is why nominations to the Supreme Court are so vital.
Obama can be counted on to nominate only off-the-chart liberals like Sonia Sotomayer to the court.
We never reverse any of these liberal decisions or any of these liberal changes in our society from the Brown decision to Roe versus Wade.
This buggy doesn't have a reverse gear, apparently.
The best we can hope for is that the buggy stalls temporarily in the middle of the road.
Then Democrats and liberals will gain power again and we're off to the races, the liberal races that is, again.
This is a situation we find ourselves in due to the Brown decision.
It was a watershed moment in American history as we continue to preach to people.
And everything that has been going downhill since the decision was handed down on May the 17th, 1954.
May the 16th, 1954 was the high water point of American power, prosperity, and wealth.
We've gone downhill ever since, sickened by the virus called liberalism.
See how the Brown template works in a story that's very similar to this, California's Proposition 8.
California's Proposition 8 banned gay marriage.
And this was voted on in 2006 by the people of California.
And even in liberal California, 58% of the voters voted in Proposition 8, which prohibited gay marriage.
Now, the campaigns for and against Proposition 8 raised 39.9 million for and 43.3 million against becoming the highest funded campaign on any state ballot and surpassing every campaign in the country in spending except for the presidential contest.
Keith, Keith, you might have to make this a part two to be continued next week because we are flat out of time for this hour.
Well, let me just tell you, they went to a liberal judge called Vaughn Walker and he declared it unconstitutional.
And then the liberal Jerry Brown Governor Moonbeam decided not to appeal.
So that's how the change is done.
That's how the 3% ruled the 97% in America today, King.
Folks, we'll be back with the second hour.
Thank you, Keith, for your contributions.
And I'll see you in just a few minutes on the other side, my friends.
