Steve Sailer [00:45:13] Yeah. You know.
Steve Sailer [00:45:14] Birmingham.
Steve Sailer [00:45:15] Not doing that. Well, Selma not doing that. Well. Yeah. It's. Yeah. What then ends.
Steve Sailer [00:45:27] Up is you then have you end up getting a long lecture about how the construction of a freeway in 1958 destroyed the booming black Wall Street of Birmingham or whatever, and all sorts of things like that. There's a large number.
Steve Sailer [00:45:45] Of pre canned excuses.
Tucker [00:45:50] But is there any effort to actually improve the lives of black people that you're aware of?
Steve Sailer [00:45:55] I mean, what.
Steve Sailer [00:45:56] What does improve the lives of black.
Steve Sailer [00:45:58] People?
Steve Sailer [00:46:00] Basically having some law and order keeping people from carrying guns on the street. Done quite a bit of good. Parts of the country that are run by Republicans to have. Somewhat better performing Blacks. Students in schools and so forth. For example, Frisco, Texas, a fast growing exurbs of Dallas have the smallest test score gap of any school district in the country that has the highest. It's about 11% black and 20% Hispanic, and has the highest Black and Hispanic test scores in the United States. Because they have a lot of smart white people living there, but they do a lousy job in San Francisco educating blacks.
Steve Sailer [00:47:20] Because, you know, it's it's such a liberal, progressive Environment that they do a poor job of doing things like having well-disciplined schools and focusing on basics and so forth.
Steve Sailer [00:47:34] So, yeah, there's a general I mean, there's been a general trend toward blacks who have some have some choices in life who are looking to get ahead, looking to do good things for their their kids to be moving to the South, to Texas, to red states and so forth, where. In a way, from the highly liberal parts of the country. It's it's not a panacea, but.
Steve Sailer [00:48:03] You know, it does some good at the at the margin.
Tucker [00:48:06] Where are we on the continuum? In other words, if the graphs that you showed the four years after the Floyd verdict or Floyd death, like, if you extended those, if you doubled them, what would they look like? Where are we now?
Steve Sailer [00:48:23] We're hopefully. Past the worst of the racial reckoning. What I've what I've. Noticed in the newspapers was that the front section, around a few months before the 2022 election, seemed to get the word. To be a big vote winner in the 2022 midterms. Especially in the in the New York City area. So let's let's go easy on it. Let's not talk about. It all the time. In a great leap forward for equity at the Art Institute of Chicago, they fired all the nice white lady docents who work for free, giving tours of the great artwork so they can hire, people of color to, to then pay them to work there and stuff like that. And you kept hearing all those kind of stories going on much.
Steve Sailer [00:49:44] Longer about the.
Steve Sailer [00:49:45] Wonders of the racial reckoning, because, you know, they hadn't gotten the message.
Steve Sailer [00:49:52] But, yeah, probably.
Steve Sailer [00:49:53] The Biden administration.
Steve Sailer [00:49:57] Engaging in.
Steve Sailer [00:49:57] Benign neglect.
Steve Sailer [00:49:59] About like, yeah, let's not.
Steve Sailer [00:50:02] Persecute police departments quite as hard as we were, has probably done some good about getting the cops out of the donut shop and actually pulling over, you know, people driving 100 miles an hour.
Steve Sailer [00:50:17] And so, yeah, that's that's.
Steve Sailer [00:50:20] Made some progress.
Steve Sailer [00:50:21] But it took the it took the Hispanics.
Steve Sailer [00:50:24] While longer to get the get the word that the cops.
Steve Sailer [00:50:28] Weren't.
Steve Sailer [00:50:28] Being proactive, and so their car crash and murder rates have gone way up.
Steve Sailer [00:50:34] And, you know, it's even if.
Steve Sailer [00:50:37] Things are getting better now, they're going to takes.
Steve Sailer [00:50:39] A number.
Steve Sailer [00:50:40] Of years to get back to where we were in 2019, much less where we were before Ferguson in 2014.
Steve Sailer [00:50:48] You know, the.
Steve Sailer [00:50:50] The death rate is still up, like in these deaths of exuberance, like 30 to 40% over 2014.
Tucker [00:50:57] And way up over the, you know, nonblack average. So the, you know, the obvious question is like, why? And it's been going on a long time. Has there ever been a serious effort made in good faith to figure out why rates of violence among in black areas are so much higher, which they are and have always been? But why?
Steve Sailer [00:51:56] And that that wound up.
Steve Sailer [00:51:57] Doubling the per capita, murder rate in the 60s and 70s.
Steve Sailer [00:52:02] It doubled, you know.
Steve Sailer [00:52:04] It was by 1980, it was twice what it was in 1961 per capita.
Tucker [00:52:09] That's a lot of dead people.
Steve Sailer [00:52:10] Yeah, that's a lot of dead people. And it did did.
Steve Sailer [00:52:16] Horrors to American urban life. People fled to the suburbs there. They're all now denounced as these villains who engaged in white flight.
Steve Sailer [00:52:26] But, you know, like my.
Steve Sailer [00:52:28] My wife's family lived in the in the Austin neighborhood in the West Side of Chicago. And they, they when it started to integrate, they joined a liberal Catholic group and said, okay, we're all going to stick it out and.
Steve Sailer [00:52:51] Stuck, stuck it out three years longer than the rest of the members of the club did. But but at that point, the number of felonies against their children was piling up. And so they finally sold out at a loss of like half of what they could have gotten for their house, that they'd sold it three years before.
Steve Sailer [00:53:10] Tens of millions in that changed their views.
Tucker [00:53:12] What a tragedy for them.
Steve Sailer [00:53:13] Yeah, that they, you know, my.
Steve Sailer [00:53:17] My late father in law was the tuba player for the Chicago Lyric.
Steve Sailer [00:53:21] Opera. So. So you ended.
Steve Sailer [00:53:23] Up buying a farm 63 miles out of town and then commuting to work to play the tuba, in the opera house downtown?
Steve Sailer [00:53:34] Yeah, it was kind of.
Steve Sailer [00:53:35] A disaster for.
Steve Sailer [00:53:36] Them. And, you know, there's tens of millions of.
Steve Sailer [00:53:38] Americans who are still alive who can tell these stories, of what actually happened. And the media is not that interested in hearing them. You know, the media wants to portray these people as the bad guys.
Steve Sailer [00:53:54] Who.
Steve Sailer [00:53:54] Because of their bigotry and not because of all the felonies against their children.
Steve Sailer [00:54:00] You know, moved.
Steve Sailer [00:54:01] Out to the suburbs. Interestingly, right across the street from where my. In-laws lived is the Municipality of Oak Park.
Steve Sailer [00:54:12] Illinois, in a suburb, that.
Steve Sailer [00:54:15] Ernest Hemingway supposedly said was the land of broad lawns and narrow minds. What's really nice has all this great Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. They actually did something really intelligent.
Steve Sailer [00:54:28] And.
Steve Sailer [00:54:28] Really illegal in the 1970s, which was they put a racial quota on real estate agents. It was called the black A.
Steve Sailer [00:54:37] Block Club.
Steve Sailer [00:54:38] And said, no, you can't make a huge, fast windfall by terrifying everybody into selling right now. And because it's.
Steve Sailer [00:54:49] The whole.
Steve Sailer [00:55:44] You read the press. Yeah. There's been huge condemnation for of all.
Steve Sailer [00:55:51] The all the.
Steve Sailer [00:55:53] White families that fled crime.
Steve Sailer [00:55:56] As.
Steve Sailer [00:55:57] That they're engaging in white flight. And if their grandchildren move back to the city because the crime has come down a little, then then they're engaging in the great crime of gentrification.
Steve Sailer [00:56:08] You know, it's it's it's kind of you can't win, you know.
Steve Sailer [00:56:13] Either way you.
Steve Sailer [00:56:14] Lose. You know, there's all.
Steve Sailer [00:56:19] Sorts of talk. You know, Mayor Pete and the Transportation department's always denouncing racist roads, that building highways was destroying black neighborhoods and so forth.
Steve Sailer [00:56:33] You know.
Steve Sailer [00:56:34] We we've rewritten the past over and over again, so we don't learn anything from it because we just we just specify a few important, a few things that fit this narrative that everybody has now.
Steve Sailer [00:57:03] One of those words. It's not a secret what the Di people want when they specify equity. What they're talking about, when they're talking about equity and generational wealth and so forth, is they want your equity in your home, and they want to tax it away and take it as reparations.
Steve Sailer [00:57:24] And spend it on themselves. And that's.
Steve Sailer [00:57:27] That's kind of the the.
Steve Sailer [00:57:29] Bottom line.
Steve Sailer [00:57:30] Whether that'll get carried out I don't know. We've we've seen reparation programs start to put out checks in super liberal places like Evanston, Illinois. Even in California, the idea of.
Steve Sailer [00:57:42] Handing out.
Steve Sailer [00:57:43] Huge checks to black people for the the horrors of living in California.
Steve Sailer [00:57:50] Didn't go that well.
Tucker [00:57:52] We have two large Hispanic population.
Steve Sailer [00:57:55] Yeah. So.
Tucker [00:57:56] But can I ask, how exactly would, the community steal the equity out of your home?
Steve Sailer [00:58:04] Well, I mean, one.
Steve Sailer [00:58:06] Start has been.
Steve Sailer [00:58:07] To reopen ancient.
Steve Sailer [00:58:10] History.
Steve Sailer [00:58:16] What do you call it when.
Steve Sailer [00:58:17] The government condemns your property and sells and buys it for what it thinks it's worth?
Steve Sailer [00:58:23] We've.
Steve Sailer [00:58:24] We've seen cases of.
Tucker [00:58:25] Eminent domain.
Steve Sailer [00:58:25] Yeah, eminent.
Steve Sailer [00:58:26] Domain cases from a century ago.
Steve Sailer [00:58:29] We saw.
Steve Sailer [00:58:32] So if.
Steve Sailer [00:58:32] You if.
Steve Sailer [00:58:33] If you're black and you happen to have a family legend that we used to own this really nice piece of property, but then it got eminent domain to make into a park that that was racist. And we should get that property back. So.
Steve Sailer [00:58:47] The.
Steve Sailer [00:58:48] Descendants of a black family in Manhattan Beach recently.
Steve Sailer [00:58:52] Who, Manhattan.
Steve Sailer [00:58:54] Beach had.
Steve Sailer [00:58:55] Had.
Steve Sailer [00:58:57] Condemned their property and a few other and some white neighbors of theirs to build a park. And they recently got the city council to declare that that was racist in 1928.
Steve Sailer [00:59:10] And that if.
Steve Sailer [00:59:12] It wasn't for this, they no doubt would have held on to the property through the depression, through everything that's happened ever since. They would they would have scrimped and saved to hold on to that land next to the beach, which is now worth $20 million. So they got a check for $20 million.
Steve Sailer [00:59:32] For that, you'll you'll see.
Steve Sailer [00:59:35] You know, this is a general trend. That's, that's speeding up is, you know, plaintiffs attorneys are looking for these old cases.
Steve Sailer [00:59:44] And, you know, it's.
Steve Sailer [00:59:45] Not like they can relitigate the case because there's nobody alive that remembers the can testify or anything like that.
Steve Sailer [00:59:55] So there'll be there'll be lots of.
Steve Sailer [00:59:57] Attempts like that to, you know, basically hand out large amounts of.
Steve Sailer [01:00:02] Money and. And maybe.
Steve Sailer [01:00:06] Maybe it won't be called reparations, but. But you'll see this. And it's it's definitely been increasing the 2020.
