Jared Taylor – The Unz Review June 4, 2021
The death of George Floyd has given rise to one of the worst mass delusions in American history – maybe world history. It is a case of collective madness that – frankly – makes me ashamed to be an American.
Let’s start with George Floyd himself. Here are his arrests, going back to 1997. His first was at age 23, and during the next 10 years he was in and out of the big house *eight* times, mostly for larceny and drugs.
In 2007, age 34, he moved up to armed robbery home invasion. He threatened a woman by pushing a pistol into her belly. Floyd got five years in prison, didn’t serve even four, and got out in 2013. He managed to stay out of prison, but he was cited in 2020 for getting into an accident driving a truck without a valid license. He was a drug addict and a small-time porn actor. Here he is with his co-star, Kimberly Brinks, in the initial scene of a video probably made in 2016.
Floyd never married but had five known children, ranging in age from six to 22 at the time of his death.
Floyd’s final crimes were taking illegal drugs, passing counterfeit money, and resisting arrest. He struggled persistently with police officers and flopped down on the street rather than get into a cop car . It was only then that Derek Chauvin restrained him with a knee on the neck for those world-famous nine minutes. If Floyd had done what the officers told him to, we would never have heard of him. Floyd had serious heart disease, had swallowed a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl, and his lungs were so full of fluid they weighed two to three times the normal weight. Obviously, that contributed to his death. Still, maybe Chauvin kept Floyd down too long. If that was bad policing, he deserves punishment, but it is absurd to find, as the jury did, that he acted with a “depraved mind” – like someone firing indiscriminately into a crowd – and was guilty of murder.
Even more absurd – and this is at the heart of the mass insanity – is the idea that this was a vicious act of racism. Chauvin was a 19-year veteran. Every policeman in America knows that the wrong move with a black criminal can end your career and ruin your life. A black officer, Alexander Keung, was right next to Chauvin with his knee on Floyd’s back. There was a hostile crowd taking videos, and the officers themselves wore bodycams. But we are supposed to believe that Derek Chauvin committed a shocking act of racism that unmasked the deep bigotry in the entire policing profession – and in the whole country? Only the willfully blind can believe this, but our country is run by the willfully blind.
In America, there is an enormous, unsatisfied demand for racism. That’s because racism is the *only* permitted explanation for black failure, no matter how degenerate. If we refuse to consider any other cause for it, there must be a terrible lot of white racism out there. And that is why blacks and the media are frantic to find it. How would Derek Chauvin have treated a six-foot-four, 223-pound, muscular *white* man who was foaming at the mouth and acting like a lunatic? Just as he did George Floyd. I see no reason to think otherwise.
But the media knew better, and the country exploded in riots, looting, and arson so bad that 200 cities imposed curfews and 30 states – every one of these – had to call out the national guard to restore order. The billions of dollars’ worth of insured damages were an American record for civil disorder. Incredibly, intelligent, highly paid people seemed to believe that those nine minutes in Minneapolis taught them harrowing new facts about America. So harrowing and so new that, unlike in any previous race riots, the country lathered blacks with money. The Economist estimated that Americans donated more than $10 billion to Black Lives Matter-related causes.
Millions of people seemed to believe that every white person is personally responsible for black failure and degeneracy, even if they are trying to be nice to blacks. That’s what the slogan “white silence is violence” means. You commit violence by doing and saying nothing.
That’s why Elle Magazine, a fashion magazine for women, ran a big article explaining “Why white silence on racism is deadly” and that “silence is complicity.” This is a brand-new form of insanity. It’s white supremacy stood on its head. White people are so powerful — and blacks are such pathetic pawns and stooges — that we cause violence by doing nothing. We can even make black people attack Asians by doing nothing.
Isn’t that what Jennifer Ho, Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of Colorado is saying when she writes that “White Supremacy is the root of all race-related violence in the US,” ?. Specifically, she writes “when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by white supremacy. White supremacy does not require a white person to perpetuate it. Wow. We can exercise evil powers from miles away.
This is related to Critical Race Theory — the idea that all white people are inherently privileged and racist and that we oppress everyone. Critical Race Theory is now being taught in K through 12 schools. As part of CRT, Wellesley, Massachusetts schools set up a “healing space” only for non-whites. As the district explained, “This is a safe space for our Asian/Asian-American and Students of Color, *not* for students who identify only as White.”
Donald Trump banned CRT training for federal employees but on his first day in office, Joe Biden started it back up. An ex-Space Force commander says that a defense department training video claims that white people are “inherently evil.” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says “Racism is ‘physically built into’ the country’s highways.”
The Heritage Foundation says that Joe Biden wants to take CRT to the next level by forcing it into all public schools. Oregon didn’t wait. It adopted a manual called “Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction,” because the reason blacks and Hispanics aren’t good at math is because math instruction is “white supremacist.”
Being white is so awful that an organization called Recovery from White Conditioning has a 12-step program – like Alcoholics Anonymous – to cure white people of whiteness. Coca Cola told its workers to be “less white” in order to fight racism.
Blacks are sure getting the message. The *student body president* of Christopher Newport University in Virginia – under the name of Fuck Off Honkeys – tweets, “I hate white people so much it’s not even funny.”
In an article called “Whiteness is a Pandemic,” a prominent black author writes that “White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect.” What’s the solution? “Stanford Student Government Candidate Says ‘White People Need To Be Eradicated’” A best-selling book of prayers has one by a black woman that begins: “Dear God, Help me Hate White People.”
Would this have happened without George Floyd and a year of riots? I don’t think so. I think it’s thanks to George that musicologists at Yale think words like “pitch” and “harmony” might be white supremacist. And I think it’s why this guy, who teaches classics at Princeton, has decided that studying Greece and Rome makes people white supremacist and that the whole field of classics should be junked.
But let’s get back to George Floyd. After he died, his brother Philonise set up a crowd-funding appeal that raised $13 million in one week and broke all GoFundMe records, with more than 500,000 donations from 125 countries. Just 10 days after Floyd’s death, there were public murals in scores of cities, including Dallas, Miami, Los Angeles, Nairobi, and Berlin. This one is in Belfast, Ireland.
The intersection where Floyd died is now George Floyd Square. The police have to stay out, and there are special instructions for white people who want to pay respects. They have to listen, learn, and mourn, and must not forget they are there to support, not be supported. Floyd had three funerals: Minneapolis, Charlotte North Carolina, and Houston. Here he is in a golden coffin on his way to eternal rest. At least a dozen universities have set up scholarships in his name, though so far as I know, none has granted him a posthumous degree. In Alexandria, Virginia, we could soon have George Floyd Memorial High School.

By the anniversary of his death, May 25th had become almost a religious feast day, and woe to any who refuse to bend the knee. Duke University investigated a flier someone put up of Floyd’s toxicology report. Duke said that if a student posted this – it was verifiable information about the fentanyl, meth, and cannabis in Floyd’s body – the student would be punished.
Gov. Phil Scott of Vermont designated May 25th George Floyd Remembrance Day, saying we must “reflect on George Floyd’s death and acknowledge systemic racism.” Vermont is 1.4 percent black. At a ceremony in Burlington, people shed tears.
Joe Biden invited six members of Floyd’s family to the White House for the anniversary . Here’s so-called civil-rights lawyer Benjamin Crump teaching Floyd’s youngest daughter Gianna the black power salute, while baby-momma Roxie Washington looks on. Young Gianna hardly knew daddy because she lived in Houston and he lived in Minneapolis, but now she’s been taught to say, “Daddy changed the world.”
Floyd’s brother Philonese talked to the President about what is going to be called the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.” Republicans haven’t yet agreed to it, and Philonese complained to reporters: “If you can make federal laws to protect a bird, the bald eagle, you can make federal laws to protect people of color.” Is he such a bonehead he thinks it’s legal to kill black people? Are the media that reported this as if it were a profound insight equally stupid?
And why do we need another law? Derek Chauvin was found guilty and faces up to 40 years in prison. What more do they want? The death penalty?
Kamala Harris, who was also at the White House, praised the “courage, grace, and resilience” the family has shown in bereavement. The family didn’t pay much attention to Floyd when he was alive, and I’m sure the $13 million in GoFundMe money eased the pain. Along with the $27 million the city of Minneapolis paid the family.
.jpg){kind=link}
So little Gianna should be fixed for life, but she’s wrong. Daddy didn’t change the world. He was a drug-addict who fought the police and died. It was Derek Chauvin who did something. If people really think Floyd’s death taught us something about America, they should thank Derek Chauvin.
Do the people who say white silence is violence and that music theory is white supremacist really believe it? Or are they so terrified they think they have to go along? This is a stupefying, bewildering case of believing not just the improbable but the impossible.
Mass delusions always fall apart – eventually. You can run a society for only so long on mania and foolishness. People are waking up. Three states have banned Critical Race Theory in schools, and a dozen more are likely to ban it soon. Sites like ours – American Renaissance – are more popular than ever, despite endless bans and shadow-bans.
Even whites eventually rise up against insanity. They will not hang their heads in perpetual shame and walk off the stage of history. The fight starts now.

Thanks, Jared, for telling the world why the US won’t have a 300th birthday.
We’ll just have to settle for old videos of 1976 for people that can stand watching R. Reagan giving the country away.
George Floyd was no saint. In fact, he was a monster. But that did not give Derek Chauvin a free pass to execute George Floyd in public. As a police officer, Chauvin used excessive force and he committed murder on a suspect in broad daylight.
Were it not for bystanders who were mindful of this abuse of public office and then video recorded this despicable incident as evidence to be used in a court of law, Chauvin would be walking free to murder more suspects without consequence on his part.
Remember Chauvin is no saint either as he has a history of abusing his authority by using excessive force on suspects. You reap what you sow. Chauvin deserves his conviction and I hope he rots in jail for his heinous crimes.
When the police get to decide who can live or die we’re all targets. Even the rich look just like anybody else in shorts on a boardwalk with a phone in one hand that can falsely be construed as a gun. In the end killing an elite will happen because numerically it has to, so after that maybe these killers will be reined in.
Good government would get all the George Floyds out of the way of humans right at the start, to prevent all the misery they cause. Instead, the enemies of White people, the Abrahamic cultists, lionise them so that their fame can cause even more destruction.
The problem with black people is simple:
1. They promote racism, continually, because it gives them what they want. As a white man, there’s no way you could take a company to court, for prejudice against you, but as a black, it happens all the time. If you are a poor worker, with a bad records of work, all you have to do is scream racism and a jew lawyer will be there to defend you at a work tribunal. So your bad productivity will allow you a large court settlement for racism.
2. They promote racism because they simply cannot stand the fact that white people do not want anything to do with them. They are livid that whites might want to associate with whites and not them.
3. They promote racism because it acts as a smokescreen to their inadequacy, within the white civilization. They, sadly, bring nothing to it, other than being the monkey on the jew organ grinder. They entertain the whites and the jew pays them a large sum of money for doing so. And thanks to (c)rap music, they’re debasing white culture with every piece of noise they make, released to the public.
As I’ve continually stated, the only solution to the jew problem, which has created the black problem is instant repatriation, to Africa, for all blacks. With the advancement of modern science, a DNA sample can locate where in Africa your people are from, courtesy of blood haplogroup. Blacks, need to leave the white civilization and rejoin the black one.
But they don’t want to do that.
They can see that the white civilization is VASTLY superior to anything they could ever contemplate and going back to Africa, would mean poverty, with NO white welfare, a pretty sh*t life, one of even more violence than there is in the west and not with guns but being hacked to death with machetes, or tires forced over you, doused in petrol and set alight.
No, the blacks now seriously believe that they can take control of the white civilization, get rid of the whites and live happily ever after. But again, their low IQ’s fail to understand that when you remove the whites from the white civilization and all there are left are blacks, that civilization becomes a black civilization and in essence, they’ve created the very thing they don’t want to live in Africa because of.
“Don’t be stupid…..what about the jews? They wouldn’t be able to live in a society run by blacks!” Of course, you’re correct, but I’m not being stupid. WW1 & WW2 couldn’t dislodge the jews from the west back to Israel, because there was far too much good parasitism to be had. However, if that civilization became a black one, then jews would have two choices – either leave and move to Israel or die in the west, at the hands of the blacks.
The jewish empowerment of the blacks is all to destroy the white civilization and force the jews to Israel. Damn the rest of the world, is precisely what the jew believes. They’ll just sit happily in Israel, with nuclear weapons pointed at all the other nations around them.
@White Elephant
Your K K K rants are to be expected on any articles concerning race, especially Black people. Maybe you have a fetish for moaning about how Black people are supposedly ruining the livelihood of White people in your K K K La La Land.
The Crusaders sold their souls for silver and gold and went about “Christianising” the Middle East for the Pope and the Vatican. Their objective was to conquer Jerusalem and vanquish the Muslim “infidels”.
Organised Anglo-Saxon Supremacists repeated this in India, Pakistan, Africa, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. I’ve asked you this question and you stutter and avoid answering it all the time. So I’ll ask again.
If White people are so smart, superior, virtuous and benevolent, what explains and excuses the savagery, genocide, rapes and parasitism that organised White Supremacists wrecked across the world throughout the conquest of the British Empire?
Hate the Jew all you want, but if the Jew is bringing justice to Blacks by overthrowing the strongholds of White Supremacy, be they crooked bigoted White cops and the shady US Justice System, then so be it.
Just a reminder – the Nazis used the death of a thug named Horst Wessel the same way that George Floyd is being used today. Check out the origins of the “Horst Wessel Lied” – a marching song used in Nazi parades and rallies during the 1930’s. Hitler got lots of political mileage out of that.
Same M.O. – different Era.
@ White Elephant
Spot on!
Dominic Tome,
I’ve told you, goodness knows how many times and you still, at every turn, fail to see it and act upon my words of wisdom.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHITES, THEIR HISTORY, THEIR CULTURE, THE WAY THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES THEN GTFO OF OUR LANDS AND GO BACK TO AFRICA!!
It’s really that simple Dominic/Laquan/Jason. You, again, blatantly ignore it. Go back to Africa. Go back to your people. Become ingrained with your tribal ways and stop thinking about the whites.
Really Dominic, you fail to understand that whites, don’t give a shit about you. Just leave our lands. And yes, we conquered North America. You came here as slaves. So, pack your bags, jump on a plane and fly back to one of the many countries within the African continent. We don’t want you and the sooner you’re gone along with all the other blacks, the better for blacks and whites and no more pitting us together to fight one another.
To D Tome–the first phase of the British Empire was Protestants trying to build an alternative to the global Catholic organisation. People had begun to read the Bible in their own language and seen how the Church was like the Pharisees. The second phase was Rothschild and worse than Rome. Disraeli conned the British with all the Race talk, which was flattery. Today they flatter the Blacks in the same way.
what for the jews is holocaust religion
is for the blacks : WHITE RACISM + SUPREMACY
its just another religion after communism.
@White Elephant
@lewis jones
YThe Jew used White people to shit on the world in the form of the British Empire. Now the Jew is using Black people to shit on White people as means to prop up China and Greater Israel.
So long Black people get their vengeance and justice against White people, even if it’s all orchestrated by the Jew, so be it.
You can moan about Jew this, Jew that but unlike Black Lives Matter who take meaningful action, you remain a cowardly K K K keyboard warrior.
The end of White Supremacy is fast approaching. Whether you like it or not, your White Supremacy is headed for the gallows. Ding dong, White Supremacy is dead.
Dominic Tome,
Again, you continue to dig holes for yourself, in every reply that you make.
You continue, constantly, repeat the slur of ‘white supremacy’ when anyone with half a brain can see that it doesn’t exist. What does exist, as can be seen in every one of your comments is BLACK supremacy.
Are you really so stupid as you come across Dominic?
Really? It’s just, you see, it’s not only me who sees your hate, filled rants, for what they are. You come across as an angry, hate filled man, clearly full of jealousy for the white civilization, something that is 99% responsible for every aspect of your life. The 1% is your tribe’s genes.
You complain about the British Empire, yet promote the Jewish owned, black empire that you want to destroy the white one. You have been told, continually the British Empire was a jewish empire and still you want to destroy the whites. You have been told that slavery has always been a jewish enterprise and yet you still want to destroy whites. You know that it was WHITES who ended slavery, from the jew and your own people and you still want to destroy whites.
I’m really beginning to wonder if you aren’t, in fact, a hasbarat troll, sitting in a cafe in Tel Aviv, here to stir up hatred of whites.
But more so and I’m going to finish on this and it will be my last EVER reply to you; you’re simply too stupid to realise that the white civilization will not be destroyed. It will survive and endure. It will take a colossal hit from the stupid-jab nonsense, NWO world cull, but we will remain a people. The stupid will be removed. And you ALSO will be removed and all those like you. What’s worse, you’ll be exiled, like the jew, never to return. You’ll wallow in your anger, your hatred and your continued jealousy and stupidity, blaming the whites for your own, racial inadequacy, building and maintaining nothing above low civilization. You will slide back to tribal genocide, a warlord run society and be the nothings there, as the nothings you are here.
As I’ve said in almost every reply to you, were it not for white people, you wouldn’t exist as your ancestors would have been the main course, at the celebratory dinner, for the conquest over your tribe. You would still be living in the stone age, were it not for European intervention into Africa, no different to the Masai tribe and other nomadic tribes in Africa. And yes, Nico, borrowed that in a comment yesterday from me, although it’s simply common sense.
@White Elephant
You’re a K K K keyboard warrior. Black Lives Matter is putting arrogant, stuck up, White Supremacy back into the coffin from whence it sprang. The days of White Supremacy are number. Viva Black Lives Matter. Ding dong, White Supremacy is dead.
In reply to Dominic Tome:
BLM and the KKK are different sides of the same coin. Both camps – black and white – are being manipulated and played-off against each other.
Sounds like you are another of the dupes. Like the partygoers who witnessed the shooting of BLM activist Sasha Johnson but who are now refusing to talk to police.
http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=235770
Why the silence? Are they mute BECAUSE THE GUNMEN WERE BLACk!! If the gunmen had been been white there would have been no end of recriminations and accusations about “white racism”. But because the gunmen were black you and others like you are silent.
Black Live Matters sucks and it will go the same way as the Klu Klux Klan.
Don’t worry, Dominic–I’ll still talk to you.
@Rixon Stewart
You’re a Cape Coloured so you were treated with some special privileges as a 2nd Class citizen in Apartheid South Africa. So you can identify with White Privilege more than you can identify with Black pain.
Nelson Mandela sold out to the Illuminati and the Jewish Banking Cartel. All that forgiveness and Rainbow Nation nonsense he spouted when he was released from prison and made president has not benefited the Black man in South Africa.
So when Julius Malema is all radical and labelled a Black extremist, it’s all sour grapes from the ANC and its pro-White cronies. Neither the Dutch nor the English brought any land with them from Europe when they came to South Africa. So why should they remain in control of all land in South Africa?
“Dubula iBhunu” Malema rightly said. We care not for your White skin, your White Privilege and all that crap that comes with it. We simply want our land which is our rightful inheritance.
So when disgruntled Black South Africans go about killing White farmers and the media complains about how Blacks are killing White farmers on “their” lands, it’s all sour grapes.
Organised Anglo-Saxon and Dutch White Supremacists used violence, terror, pillage and rape to steal land and freely enjoy forced labour from Africans, especially in Southern Africa.
If Black Lives Matter violence and bloodshed against ancient White Supremacist colonial powers is what’s needed to restore land back to its Black rightful owners in Africa, then so be it.
In reply to Dominic Tome:
I’m not a Cape Coloured. I was born in England of a mixed-race background. Then, during the apartheid era I went to my family in South Africa.
Then, because I couldn’t get a job, I hitched up to what was then Rhodesia and joined the army during the war.
I didn’t join for political reasons and it was a last resort. Anyway I ended up in Special Forces and it was a real eye-opener, a true education.
I saw how the country was before majority rule. It was really pleasant. The Whites were NOT a privileged elite. Mostly they were just hard-working farmers who in turn provided jobs, schools and most importantly FOOD, for their workers.
Then I saw at first hand how Mugabe’s men terrorised, tortured and killed those Blacks who would not join them, and they were many.
Then when Zimbabwe was “liberated”, people spouting the same sort of political jargon as you took over those former White farms. However, they didn’t have the basic farming skills to run them. So the agricultural sector fell into ruin along with the schools, clinics and basic amenities the farmers had set up for their workers.
So “liberation” actually meant the emergence of a privileged, predatory Black elite and poverty, hunger and disease for the vast majority of Zimbabweans.
Now the same process is happening in South Africa and you are trying to justify it.
As for Julius Malema: he’s already a multi-millionaire. So I would suggest that like Mugabe, he and his cronies are stoking a sense of racial resentment for their own gain.
And you seem to have fallen for it entirely. You spout exactly the same sort of jargon as they would.
Finally, you seem to be under the misapprehension that Black South Africans are indigenous to South Africa. They are not. The Negroid South Africans arrived in the country at roughly the same time as the Cape Dutch settlers arrived in the Cape. The Negroid South Africans originated in the Congo Basin and slowly migrated south.
The people native to the land were the Khoikhoi, more commonly referred to the hottentot, who were sidelined by the new arrivals. Among Black South Africans today hottentot is a racially derogatory term.
As they say: “travel broadens the mind” and I’ve travelled and seen the world from various perspectives. Unlike you, who only seems motivated by racial resentment and little else.
To D Tome–you suggest that the KKK were cowards while BLM are brave action men, but BLM have the support of the entire Establishment and are just lackies, well-paid at the top. The KKK were Jews and Whites who were incensed at having Blacks put over them to rule, in the South. You look for a Race War without having any idea what Whites can do if we ever think of getting started. You have seen absolutely nothing yet except supernatural restraint.
@Rixon Stewart
This makes you even more of an enemy to Black Africans. You fought for the losing side of Ian “Hardcore Racist” Smith. That White Devil who said, “there will not be majority Black rule in Rhodesia for the next 1,000 years’. So it’s easy to see why, despite being “mixed race”, you love all things White.
Mixed race people are the most dangerous because they pretend to be Black whilst advancing the agenda of all things White Supremacy as evidenced by your love for and loyalty to Ian Smith, the self confessed hardcore racist Prime Minister of then Rhodesia.
You shamelessly buddy up with the White Devil and you disgrace whatever little Black ancestry you have in you.
In response to Dominic Tome:
Ask the average Black Zimbabwean if they were better-off under Smith or Mugabe? If they answer honestly they’ll tell that they were better off under the “white devil”: they were better fed, they had jobs and they were not living under the heel of a predatory Black elite.
Have you ever been to Africa? I somehow doubt it. If you did you would realise that the continent’s problems are largely created by predatory Black elite who shamelessly exploit their own with the sort of rhetoric you spout!
As for Mandela: he never “sold out” because he was chosen by the oligarchs even while he was still imprisoned. Once he was released, after an international campaign orchestrated by the same oligarchs, he promptly delivered the country, and its massive mineral wealth, to the same international oligarchs.
You are no different from any of the white racists who frequent this forum. You are just as blinkered and ready to pre-judge others because of their race and if you are not careful you will pay karmically.
It may even take the form of some form of karmic retribution in this life. Like Sasha Johnson, the BLM activist who was shot recently. She had spent much of her life campaigning against alleged “white supremacy”. Then out of the blue she was gunned down by some of her own kind, not by white racists.
The response from race activists, who spout the same empty rhetoric as yourself, has been a DEAFENING SILENCE. Although her family have pleaded for witnesses to the shooting to come forward no one has. No doubt like you, they are more concerned with evil “WHITE DEVILS” than with taking a hard look at the reality of race. Blaming the “WHITE DEVILS” for their problems rather than shortcomings in their own community.
