[00:09:04] “This is the ultimate toll paid story. And not in like the haha. Look what happens to women when they date black guys? Although come on, there's a little bit of that. But like, why do you think that happens?”
-
[00:27:34] “Black people as a group lack the ability to govern themselves. There's an entire continent of them that proves this.”
-
[01:41:05] “Such as jury selection. Remember that all these all these video clips you've seen, and we've just watched one just a moment ago of all these mothers saying ohh he was a good boy, he didn't do nothing. What happens if you get one of those people on a jury for you?”
-
[02:29:25] “That's that high IQ I was talking about. Those are the people you can't have on juries. You can't have them as witnesses because that's the way they're going to behave in a courtroom. Reason and logic's going to go right out the window just as it does in every other encounter with them.”
-
[03:24:28] “It was payback. 90%. Which was all the black jurors. We're just like, yeah, fuck whitey. It was payback for what's happened over the last 400 years. It was payback for how black people are treated in America.”
-
[03:44:06] “And that, of course, is the story. Of the juice.”
