Welcome to the Political Cesspool, known worldwide as the South's foremost populous radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor far, the major lift, the baffled king composing.
Had to play a part of that song at the opening of the second hour as we talk about the demise of the three Memphis Confederate parks.
That song talks about the inherent pains of love.
Love makes so many beautiful promises, but in the end, it always disappoints.
If it ends, if there is an end.
Hopefully there won't be an end to our love story with you, our listening audience.
But that song celebrates the beautiful parts of being in love from the perspective of someone who loved deeply and lost.
At the end of it all, they're sad that it's over, but so glad that it happened and that they were able to experience it for a time.
And that, in a nutshell, pretty much describes everything I've ever believed in and fought for, including the Confederate parks, which we so successfully defended with this radio program and with your support in 2005.
And that's going to be the topic of the entirety of our second hour.
Welcome back to the Political Cesspool.
I'm your host, James Edwards, Keith Alexander here in my downtown Memphis studio.
AM 1380 WLRM.
We're going out to the AMF affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
This is a syndicated mainstream broadcast, after all.
Also simulcasting online at thepolitical cesspool.org.
Again, folks, it's been a story that's been told and retold to exhaustion.
The fact that the Political Cesspool, single-handedly, with the assistance of our audience in 2005, preserved and protected the three Confederate parks in downtown Memphis, Tennessee.
One of the very few objective and honest articles that was ever written about us was spawned from that ordeal.
And I'd like to read a portion of it for you now, an excerpt, if you will, that basically breaks down what I'm talking about.
Here's what it reads.
In 2005, the staff of the Political Cesspool organized a rally at Confederate Park, which along with two other Confederacy-themed parks in downtown Memphis had been the subject of a longtime controversy for honoring Confederate soldiers and ideals.
The park had been criticized earlier by a black Shelby County official, which attracted the notice of New York-based activist Al Sharpton, who was invited to hold a demonstration in Memphis.
Sharpton planned a rally called the Rally for Dignity from downtown Memphis to another park honoring Confederate Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Sharpton canceled the march after James Edwards and the political cesspool staff obtained a permit to demonstrate a Confederate park located along Sharpton's planned march route.
Sharpton settled for a protest at Forrest Park.
At the demonstration, he argued that, quote, we need to show the rest of the world that the day for honoring people like this is over and said in an interview that his objections were not related to race, yeah, right, but to Forrest's Civil War-era actions against the United States.
That's rich.
Estimates of attendance at the rally, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, James Edwards attracted 200 demonstrators to the Confederate Park Vigil, while Sharpton's protest at Forest Park attracted a few dozen black demonstrators, who Edwards referred to as rabble.
I apologize for calling them rabble.
That was being far too kind.
If I had to do over again, I'd tell them how I really felt.
But that was, again, one of the few honest articles ever written about the show, and it was the only time that I can recall that the Southern Poverty Law Center got any facts straight.
But so there it was in 2005.
Now, why did the political cesspool and myself and Bill Rowland get the credit for defending the parks of 2005?
Well, because we were the only ones who did anything in defense of them.
The Southerns of Confederate veterans.
Well, I take that back.
The Southern Confederate veterans did fight in that battle.
They fought against us.
We had 200 people there.
We could have had 2,000.
The SCV encouraged all of their camps not to associate with the political cesspool, to just lay low, keep your head down, let come what may.
And they discouraged many people from around the country who were planning to come and join forces with us.
We had originally waited for the SCV to organize something in defense of the parks.
When they didn't, we did.
And we got equal news time.
We got time on television.
We got our names in the papers in defense of a righteous cause, and we won the day.
So again, I say the SCV did fight in that battle.
They fought against the political cesspool.
They fought to keep their people from joining forces with us.
So in the end, we fought Sharpton.
We fought the SCV.
Yeah, we did get a token of their appreciation after the fact, after the news cameras had left, and it's actually hanging in the office here for all that's worth.
But that was eight years ago.
So we fast forward to today.
And Keith has been going to SCV camp meetings.
So he has a slightly different take on them, I believe.
And he'll reflect, he'll relay that to you over the course of this hour.
But you fast forward to 2013.
Well, this had been a pretty low-key issue since 2005, since that battle was fought.
Until a couple of months ago, when the SCV raised $10,000 to put the cinder block of an eyesore, as far as I'm concerned, in Forest Park, it was basically, it looked like a cinder block, and it said Forest Park on it.
Well, by putting that up there, that's all well and good.
If they want to raise money, if they want to put that in the park, that's fine.
But be ready to fight when you stir up a hornet's nest, which is exactly what they did.
They put the cinder block up that said Forest Park, and then all the blacks in Memphis, or at least a few blacks in leadership, to be more accurate, said, oh, yeah, by the way, thanks for reminding me, SCV.
Yeah, Forest Park's still there.
Let's go to war against it again.
They did.
And unlike in 2005, when there was pretty much a public forum over the issue, this one went straight to the city council.
All the blacks voted against the park.
All the whites did too.
A couple of them abstained.
That's as bad as voting against it.
It was unanimous that the park should be renamed.
So you get to the current incarnation.
The SCV puts up a brick that reminds the black leadership of Memphis that the Confederate parks are still here.
And then they railroad it through the city council.
It's fine if you want to put a brick up, but be ready to fight.
And as far as I'm concerned, the SCV is not fighting.
The only time they did fight was against us.
If you go back over the course of the last decade, as far as these parks are concerned, we're coming up on the commercial break.
I've hogged this entire segment to say my piece.
I'm going to turn it over to Keith, and he's going to tell you his side of the story, what he thinks is going on here.
We're going to spend the whole hour talking about it.
Keith has been going to SCV camp meetings, so he has that inside perspective, the likes of which I don't have.
I'd rather go to a Martin Luther King rally than an SCV meeting.
I know about the divisiveness that plagues our side.
Bill Rowland will agree with you.
The only time the SCV speaks up is when they're telling folks they're rolling over.
That's my opinion of them.
I love them.
They're good people.
But the leadership is abhorrent.
There is no leadership.
I don't like to train my guns on folks who share our beliefs.
I advise against it.
We lead against it.
But in some cases, it's absolutely unavoidable.
And I think this is one of those cases, especially when all the hard work that the Cesspool did in 05, well, it wasn't in vain.
We bought eight more years.
But now it's gone and the parks are lost.
I don't think they'll be reverted, but Keith is going to share and give you a little more insight on that.
But that's just me talking.
A guy that's done something.
A guy that's fought.
A guy that's won.
I'm entitled to an opinion because I have.
Unlike so many armchair quarterbacks who love to gripe and critique and they've never done anything except gripe and critique.
Well, I come from a different point of view.
I'm a guy that's a doer.
Not just in this radio show, in the streets, in the court of public opinion.
We do.
We produce something.
So we're entitled to have an opinion.
And I'm giving you, as far as I'm concerned, an objective critique on what I feel the SCV is worth.
And it's not much.
Bill Rowland will tell you the same thing.
If he was healthy enough to come on the show, God bless him.
So this is where we're at.
The parks have been renamed to Memphis Park, Mississippi River Park, and Health Science Park.
That's what they're called right now.
Health Sciences Park.
Well, I know we're coming up on a break any second here.
So I thought it should already come.
I don't want to turn it over to Keith.
While I'm red hot like this, he'll have about a half a second to offer an opinion.
But I don't know.
Maybe I'm being too hard.
I don't think I'm being too hard.
We're going to have some articles about this coming up at thepolitical cesspool.org later this week.
So we encourage you to check those out as well.
But again, folks, the entirety of this hour is going to be dedicated to this subject.
And we've had a lot of people.
We've had a lot of people email me over the course of the last couple of weeks and say, you know, where are y'all on this one?
Well, now we're sounding off.
We're sounding off on it.
There was absolutely nothing we could do, though.
It just, it wasn't like last time where we could get public support mobilized.
It just wasn't.
And so the best we can do is talk about it now.
And so we will here on the Political Cesspool radio program.
Stay tuned, everybody.
We'll be back in just a moment.
All right, we got 20 seconds to break.
If you're not available at your computer to get to the point, go to Wikipedia.

Memo to me.
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.
Alright everybody, welcome back to the Political Cesspool radio program.
Ran smack into that wall there at the last commercial break.
But in a nutshell, I've told you where I stand.
The Confederate parks have been renamed.
You know where I'm coming from.
Keith Alexander has been going to SCV camp meetings over the course of the last couple of weeks since this has become an invoked topic again in Memphis politics.
And he's going to give you his take on it right now.
Okay, thank you, James.
Let me just say this.
James is absolutely right that this thing snuck up on everybody, and it snuck up on us because the SCV knew about it, but didn't want a bunch of woolheads like the people at the political cesspool getting involved in it.
They thought father knows best and their father.
They thought they were the ones that could handle this.
Of course, like all white elites or would-be elites, the SCV is the personification of fecklessness, totally ineffective.
They sent out all these communiques saying, don't do this, don't do that.
Let your bettors come in here and handle this in a smart way.
And of course, it turned out to be the ultimate dumb way because they don't understand their enemies.
The political cesspool and people like us understand the enemy.
We understand his thought processes or what pass as thought processes.
And we know how to fight fire with fire.
We don't bring a knife to a gunfight, which is what SCV leaders and other people like that do.
The SCV is always, in fact, they trotted out that old canard they always tried out.
They had this guy named Jesse Edderington, the so-called black Confederate, show up as if that was going to sway the audience or the black members of the city council into becoming big fans of Nathan Bedford Forrest.
And it was, of course, Forest Park that was at the focus of this.
Now, here's what happened.
Apparently, there is a Tennessee legislator named Steve McDaniel from Parker's Crossroads.
And Parker's Crossroads, by the way, was the site of one of Nathan Bedford Forrest's most brilliant victories during the Civil War.
It's where he said, they're on the right and the left.
What should we do, General Forrest?
And he said, attack both ways, which he did against the Union forces and defeated them with half forces going up against tremendously larger numbers of Union soldiers.
Now, Mr. McDaniel has for years proposed a law and has entertained this in his mind.
He just decided to bring it forward here recently in which it would be against Tennessee law to change the name of any park, street, or other public entity or facility that was named after a military person.
Now, the paranoid black members of the Memphis City Council thought this was some Italian hand trick by McDaniel that was directed at them not to permit them to be able to change the name of the parks.
And quite frankly, I think they're giving the SCV and others more credit than they're due.
I wish it had been a stratagem like that, but I don't think that it was.
Nonetheless, they decided they would take the initiative, beat the fans of white heritage and the Confederacy to the punch.
So they could not pass an ordinance, which takes three readings at three different weekly meetings of the Memphis City Council in time.
So they passed a resolution, supposedly.
Of course, it was not properly endorsed.
It was not properly raised and made because the Memphis City Council's charter incorporates Robert's rules of order and Robert's rules of orders were not followed by the Memphis City Council.
In fact, the Memphis City Council, as it is presently constituted, is incapable of understanding Robert's rules of order and specifically the black members.
They just rant and rave and carry on and Robert's rules of order be damned.
They're not going to follow them.
So there's good reason to expect that the resolution could be set aside.
But again, this is exactly the same situation that James was pointing to back in the first hour about the principal at the high school, what, El Carmelito or something in California, who was busily trying to stuff a sock in the mouth of the white students that wanted to celebrate their American heritage.
And he didn't find the Confederate flag offensive.
No, he found the American flag offensive, which is what Sam Francis warned us about years ago when there were various initiatives to take the Confederate flag or a replica of the Confederate flag, the rebel flag, so to speak, from state flags in the South and otherwise to plow under any remembrance whatsoever of the South's Confederate past.
He said, they're coming for the American flag next.
They're coming for our national leaders like Jefferson and Washington next.
Hide and watch.
Sam Francis was prophetic.
That's exactly what has happened.
Now, we were talking also in the first hour about the approach of white elites and would-be elites who think that they have figured out how to navigate post-racial America.
Unfortunately, the heads of the local SCV here in Memphis think they are elites that have figured out how to negotiate post-racial America,
and they got an object lesson in the fact that they don't understand a thing and that their so-called superior knowledge isn't worth a biscuit when it comes to real opposition from our racial adversaries like the black members of the Memphis City Council.
Here's what this is about.
Let's just break it down, distill it to its essence.
This was the black political leadership of Memphis and the black populace of Memphis generally showing the white population that the blacks are now large and in charge and they can do whatever they damn well please and there's nothing you can do.
You can like it or lump it if you're white, but you can't change their large and in charge.
Now compare this with the SCV.
Compare this with the principal at the high school in California.
If you'll notice, when whites are in charge, they're never large.
They are scared to death of black power, of the power of minorities.
They are scared to death to offend.
They walk on eggshells.
They fall all over themselves apologizing.
What happened in this city council meeting is that they had a particularly feckless individual named Bill Boyd, who was one of the white members, who thought that he was going to educate the black members about the real Nathan Bedford Forrest, and they would come out of the meeting being great fans of Nathan Bedford Forrest, that he was the first civil rights activist.
He was, what was that article you used to have, the littlest civil rights advocate, James?
Well, this is going to be the first one.
Nathan Bedford Forrest was a precursor of Martin Luther King, according to his parable.
But of course, this didn't sway anybody.
One of the black members, a guy named Myron Lowry, an overweight guy who ran for mayor before and was apparently enraged real black activists like a radio host in town called Thaddeus Matthews who calls him Myron Lousy rather than Myron Lowry.
He wasn't militant enough for the likes of Thaddeus Matthews, but he's apparently trying to correct that problem now.
He told Bill Boyd, don't give me any history lessons.
He doesn't want history lessons because he probably flunked them when he was in school.
And furthermore, Nathan Bedford Forrest is the Antichrist for racial matters in the Confederacy.
They're not going to let that Antichrist vision die.
No, so it doesn't matter what the truths are.
The facts be damned.
We'll be back with more in just a second.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the show.
The only topic of this hour will be the renaming of the three Confederate parks here in Memphis, Tennessee by the Memphis City Council, parks that we effectively defended, successfully defended in 2005.
And again, as I was saying at the top of the hour, I don't like to train my guns on our people.
That's not what we do.
We have always frowned upon that.
That's something that happens far too often in this movement, but I'm not going to lie for anyone either.
You know, we're a radio show.
We're your voice in the mainstream media.
We're political commentators.
And we were the ones who defended the Confederate parks in 2005.
Successfully.
Again, to repeat myself.
The SCV's sole purpose is to have a hand in matters like this.
And the only time they raised a finger in 2005 with regards to the park issue was to oppose our efforts.
Not to offer leadership of their own, but to oppose us and to cower down.
And so now we fast forward eight years later.
They tried to put a brick up in Forest Park that raised the attention of the black elected officials here in Memphis.
And then when they came gun informed, once again, they have ducked and covered.
And it's too late.
There was no public forum.
The city council voted unanimously to rename them and that is it cut and dried.
Now, Keith, the SCV is claiming to be raising money for some sort of counteroffensive.
I know you've attended these meetings.
What can you tell us about that?
And then continue on with your assessment of the situation.
You've been kind of TPC's man on the ground as far as this one's concerned, this particular round.
Well, James, with all due respect, I don't think it's fair to say that the SCV cut and covered.
What they did was provide a feckless resistance, a feckless, politically correct resistance.
And as we have noted on this show numerous times, political correctness is not a happenstance.
It didn't develop or grow like Topsy.
Was developed by the left with a specific purpose in mind, and that specific purpose was to make opposition to their agenda it feckless, in other words, totally ineffective.
If you follow the strictures of political correctness, you will not be able to effectively resist the liberal onslaught, the leftist onslaught, the progressive quote-unquote onslaught that they have in store for America.
This is a way of neutering the defense and, of course, leaders like Lee Miller with the local branch of the SCV are eaten up unfortunately, with political correctness.
If the defense of the Confederate Parks had been left to them back in 2008 or 2005, excuse me they would have lost.
Then James Bill Rolland and us here at the Political Cesspool rode to their defense.
People like Jess Bonds, who was with the Political Cesspool at that time, rode to the defense and they weren't hampered by political correctness, they took the offensive.
See, we as white people make the mistake of thinking that our adversaries are capable of acting on principle and that they are in able to think abstractly.
They're not.
They think totally in terms of concrete results.
For example, one thing that you'll never hear a black person say is, I lost, but it was a fair fight.
If they lose, there was always a hidden hand of racism or some type of unfairness involved.
They do not think that there can be a right without a actual manifestation.
For example, they're not interested in equal rights, they're interested in equal results, and until there are equal results, they cannot be convinced that they have been afforded equal rights.
That's the way they look at the Confederate Parks controversy.
They have got to be large and in charge, they've got to change the name, and the local leftist newspaper, the Commercial Appeal, has now taken the position.
Let's all get over this, let's move on.org and let's deal with some other things.
Now that we have finally put the bugaboo of the Confederate Past of Memphis in uh, you know six feet under where it belongs.
Well, to their, to their credit, the SCV is not going to roll over and play dead entirely on this.
I think that one of the good things to come out of the Obama election cycles the first and the second is that many state legislatures in red state America and Tennessee is part of red state America, in fact is probably as red a red state as you can find the state legislatures in these red states have become overwhelmingly red, overwhelmingly Republican.
Democrats are a rump parliament.
They have hardly any power.
In fact, the only Democrats in the Tennessee legislature now tend to be blacks from Shelby County and Memphis.
Everywhere else, you have Republicans.
And because of that, the Republican legislature in Nashville is indeed their last best hope.
And if they can manage to get Steve McDaniel's bill passed before this resolution can be transformed into an ordinance, they may be able to trump the doings of the city council.
Now, the city council has suddenly become great advocates and aficionados of the principle of subsidiarity that Jefferson and Calhoun enunciated and explained in great detail back in the early 19th century.
Subsidiarity is a proposition that the level of government that should have the most power and authority over your daily lives is the closest one to you.
Your local government ought to have the most authority, the state next, federal government very little at all, and of course world government or one world government, not at all.
That would have horrified the Founding Fathers to think that such an idea could ever gain any currency whatsoever.
And the reasoning is that you have that the local government is most subject to the will of the public.
The voters, the local voters have the most impact and can have the most influence on their local legislative and executive bodies, and that's the way it should be.
Well, the left certainly had no problem with the even more distant federal government telling them how to run their local schools and school boards back in the 50s and 60s in the time of the Civil Rights Movement and the Brown versus Topeka Board of Education decision.
They were totally down with a distant group of people, a hostile elite, telling local school boards how they had to run their schools back then and how they had to run everything back then.
Their government, how they could handle elections.
We still have the baleful influence of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
It's still here.
People that live in ex-Confederate states can't even make minor changes in districting without approval by the U.S. Justice Department, now run according to the unbiased administrations of Eric Holder, the present Attorney General, because they keep extending the Voting Rights Act of 1965 because of this kind of idolatrous worship of the civil rights movement.
And as a result, the South is still occupied territory.
Well, all of this, suddenly they've discovered that they are big advocates of local control, and that's how they sold this to certain white members of the Memphis City Council.
We can't let Nashville tell us what to do.
We're big bad Memphis, and we have to be in charge of paddling our own canoe, and we're not going to allow some flatlanders from out there in Nashville to tell us how we can run things here in Memphis.
And the elder statesman of the white members of the Memphis City Council, a guy named Bill Boyd, actually voted with the black majority to change the names.
The other three white city councilmen who were present abstained and one, a guy named Reed Hedgepeth, wasn't there.
Now, I don't know if that was legitimate.
He had something else that he had to do or if he was absent on purpose because he didn't want to be involved in this controversial issue.
But we're going to have to do like the black people do.
The black people will not tolerate race traders representing them in any legislative body.
And when black elected officials show themselves weak at the knees, they're history.
The black population won't put up with it.
We need to match them with zeal and fervor.
And we need to likewise not tolerate white elected representatives that will not represent us and our interests vigorously.
Bill Boyd should be history as far as an elected official.
Kemp Conrad, the guy that basically came up with the idea that this is Nashville trying to push us around, likewise, he should be history.
He's the one that actually suggested that they pass some type of ordinance.
And then we need to have other people.
Well, we're having a break right now.
We'll be right back with you in just a minute.
Thanks.
Don't go away.
The political cesspool guys will be back right after these messages.
We'll return.

All right, everybody.
Welcome back to what's been a whirlwind of the second hour tonight.
The only topic of discussion this hour has been the renaming of the three Confederate parks in Memphis.
Obviously, we are intimately involved in that story, at least if you go back a few years.
And because of our involvement in it in 2005, it's something that we're still very passionate about.
And as I said, because we have fought and because we have won in similar battles, we reserve the right to criticize.
You know, we get a lot of emails that come into the show from listeners, good, bad, and indifferent.
Most of the emails we get, I'm very proud to say, are congratulatory or supportive in one way or another.
Certainly we get some hate mail, and you would imagine, and you would imagine correctly that that does occur a little more than you might expect.
But we also get emails from people who allege to be on our side, but they're taking it to task, taking us to task because we don't do things or say things exactly the way that they would.
And to them, I would ask, well, what the hell have you done?
And we're doing the best we can out here.
We're not perfect, but we fight as best as we can with the amount of resources that we have.
And so I definitely look down on people who offer criticism to folks who are out there at least attempting to do something while they themselves have never even gotten off the couch.
That's not what's going on here when we criticize the SCV with regards to the Confederate parks.
And I said my piece during the first hour, the first segment of this hour on that.
I said everything I have to say about it.
I'm going to say no more.
When we come back at the top of the third hour, the third hour, we're going to have some more news stories.
It's going to be pretty similar to the variety that we brought to you in the first hour.
A lot more news coming up in the third, but we're going to finish up the second hour, the one that we are currently in.
We're going to finish it up on the topic that's been dominating it, that is the parks.
But first, we're going to get to a call from a listener here in Memphis.
Memphis, you're on the air.
Hey, James, how are you?
Well, this is Keith, Tom.
I'm fine, and James is here listening in, too.
What's your take on all this?
Hey, man, I think the world of y'all are doing a great, great job.
And I just had to ask a question as far as in the addition of the rename of the parks here in Memphis.
What's your take on the quote unquote the evil KKK being involved and talking about bringing folks down here and having rallies and everything?
On one side of the coin.
And then on the other side of the coin is our fine city council making a dictator typeship controversy and uh, slipping it under the rug and changing the name of our parks virtually without any repetition, representation from the people.
And with that i'll get off the line and todd.
Those are great questions.
I didn't intend to do the bait and switch.
It was me James, talking at the top of the segment.
Then I turned me uh, Keith's mic to Hotten and uh, you were talking to me and his mic was on.
But but I appreciate you calling in, I appreciate the words of support my friend and I appreciate the questions and he brings up a good one Keith, because this has been in the news.
Basically there's been a vacuum of leadership on this issue and the SCV certainly done nothing to fill it.
And so now you've got news reports of the KLAN coming to town and my thoughts on that is this, number one, any reports of the clan are very dubious.
Because, number one, I don't believe that there is such a thing as the clan anymore and there hasn't been for a long, long time.
Uh, for a couple of different reasons.
If I hear anything about the CLAN, I think, okay, so some FBI agents are coming to town posing as as CLAN members.
They're going to see what they can, you know, work up.
Uh, number two, you know good, bad or indifferent, the fallout from a supposed uh KLAN rally in defense of the Confederate Parks is on the feet of the SCV.
You know the KLAN shouldn't be the ones speaking on behalf of the parks, it should be the SCV.
But but because they won't, they invite things like this and yes, it will reflect poorly on our side of the coin it's.
You know what's going to happen is people who are perhaps on the fence on the issue will say, well, you know see, the news is right.
The only people who care about these parks are are Klansmen, for god's sake.
Well, that's not the case.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
But the SCV allows this perception to be still on the line with anyone.
Yeah, you're still on the line, Todd.
Hey, i'm sorry James, I didn't mean to ramble.
Well, you didn't ramble.
This is Keith.
Let me just say this Todd, we wish that the real White People's Party, as they have been called, the Republican Party would step up to the plate and start speaking out for their constituency, but the silence is deafening from the Republican Party.
On the other hand, the SCV gets involved, but they've got to mince and prance around and observe all of the restrictions that political correctness puts on them and, as a result, they're feckless, totally ineffective.
So the uh that basically has left a vacuum to be filled.
We were left out of the loop altogether here at the political cesspool.
We were.
It was known by people like Lee Miller, before the local SCV head, that we really weren't welcome.
They didn't want our help and if it hadn't been for our help back in 2005 they would have been changed.
Back then.
The names of these parks would have been changed to Ida B. Wells Park or something like That.
But because of the stalwart efforts of James Bill Rowland, Jess Bonds, and others, Austin Farley, back in the day, this didn't happen.
But some people never learn from experience.
They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
The SCV's approach didn't work in 2005, and again, it hasn't worked today.
You're not going to convince the blacks on the Memphis City Council or the blacks in Memphis generally that General Forrest was the first civil rights activist.
He serves a very valuable purpose.
It all gets back to these recent movies about Lincoln.
What those movies about Lincoln, like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer, where all the vampires are southern whites, and then Steven Spielberg's slightly more serious Lincoln, shows that the left has succeeded in convincing the American public that the Civil War was all about slavery.
And of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
There is so much misinformation, so much absolute corruption in the teaching of American history because the left is in charge of academia.
The long march through the institutions has gone through academia, both higher academia and lower academia, just like it has through the churches, the news media, Hollywood, the government, you name it, even the military nowadays is just falling all over themselves trying to be politically correct about gays and minority representation in the officer corps of the Army and the Navy, for example.
And having women fighting combat.
See, it's all been taken over.
The left is a new establishment.
People like Lee Miller understand that, and consequently, they don't want to forfeit their place at the table.
They don't seem to understand that any manifestation of white pride, like honoring our ancestors by naming parks after them or streets after them, will not be tolerated.
And after they get through the Confederacy, they're going to go right after the founding fathers and any other white people.
And like I said, they even went after Hillary Clinton in 2008.
She had waited patiently in line for her chance to grab the brass ring and be president of the United States.
But when a black man came up that was credible running for president, not Al Sharpton, not Jesse Jackson, not somebody like that, well, then all bets were off.
He had to be elevated, and she was kicked to the back of the bus.
Well, that's what's going to happen to America generally.
This is what America is trending towards.
There was an article in the Atlantic Monthly back in 2009 called The Death of White America by a professor Sue, who is an Asian professor at Vassar College in New York, in which he was absolutely jubilant about the end of white America.
Well, the Confederate parks here in Memphis, we're like a canary in the coal mine.
This is a preview of what's going to happen everywhere else where minorities start to predominate.
Like we said, blacks are large and in charge when they outnumber whites.
So are Hispanics.
So are Asians.
But when it comes to black power, I mean white power, they can be in charge, but they're never large.
They're walking on eggshells.
Don't expect that type of treatment when non-whites get in power.
They're going to steamroll over white interests.
And it's going to be Zimbabwe and South Africa right here in the United States.
And we are, you know, there are differential timelines on this.
Detroit is terminal, okay?
It's like Haiti in America, East St. Louis, Illinois, Camden, New Jersey, Birmingham, Alabama.
That's where ground zero is.
Memphis is a little bit further down the road.
But in 10 to 15 years, Memphis will be Detroit.
Furthermore, Nashville will be Memphis.
And Dubuque, Iowa, and Minneapolis will be Nashville.
This is what happens.
And by 2041, the whole landscape changes.
And then you'll really be in for a rough ride.
That's the end of the second hour.
Thanks so much for your call, Todd.
And we love you, brother.
Believe me.
And we'll be back with a third hour for everyone out there in Radio Land when the political cesspool continues right after these words from our sponsors on the Liberty News Radio Network.
James Edwards and Keith Alexander in Studio doing the job that most Americans refuse to do.
