doctor williams thanks so much for taking the time to be with me

0:08

plated I you have a column out today

0:12

online Rachel dolezal is all I tell me a little bit about that

0:16

well i i just gonna poking fun at the effect that the

0:20

that she's not about she's not by herself in terms the racial

0:24

bakery homes and then won the senator

0:27

no Elizabeth Warren she said that her ancestry had to do with the

0:32

church turkeys in actually turned out that her father

0:36

what her grandfather was was not a jerky and they both have shewed injure

0:41

Islam and then up then I confess because the

0:45

depend on Letterman Army in 1960

0:48

when I was landing in Corea I I told The

0:52

people that I was caucasian it how well do that

0:55

and older yup well we went back and forth in the

0:59

and the guy say we're what the there was a cheaper one of the reasons why do you

1:03

want but down caucasian as they will look but now negro

1:06

I'll get the worst job over here but

1:09

what what does this conversation and the fact that we're having in

1:13

you know in 2015 what does it say about were country is when it comes to issues

1:18

of race

1:19

why I think it's a sad commentary on our country the racial discrimination and

1:23

racism could have died a well deserved death

1:26

but its main the resurrected by poverty pimps n

1:30

other people who benefit from

1:33

exploiting the the problems that black people facing our country

1:37

now let's talk about the economics of it all

1:40

I you have been very strong in your support a free markets

1:45

tell me about what that means for the african-american community what it means

1:49

for americans

1:50

overall the system that you under President Obama we're currently living

1:54

what I think that the that if so far as black americans have been big concern

1:59

is that their major problem has been with government

2:03

know it was a failure government that account for slavery in the first place

2:07

after emancipation was again the failure of government

2:10

to protect the rights of the and masturbated people

2:14

and then today it's a failure government why black americans are huddled in their

2:19

homes and nine afraid to go in the street and

2:21

and roughly seven thousand blacks are murdered each year

2:24

by blacks again it's a failure in government

2:27

the that accounts for the right medication grossly problem education

2:31

that most black kids

2:32

receive and so so the government has been the enemy

2:37

and in government in general is the enemy of the people

2:40

and the founders our nation recognizes very well

2:43

that is if you just look at the Constitution United States

2:46

you show it shows a deep distrust that the

2:50

founders and framers of the constitution head for the united states congress

2:54

you find terminology lie in the bill writes like Congress shall not infringe

2:58

congress shown that

2:59

disparage Congress shall not prohibit what the founders didn't think that

3:03

comes to do that why would be in there in the first place

3:05

and as i've success and suggests that many people that

3:09

when we die in a fire next destination we see anything like a bill rates we

3:13

know they were in hell

3:14

because the bill rates in heaven would be an affront to God to be saying that

3:18

we can trust God

3:20

but if you look at ed at the at

3:23

at free market the free market has has been pro the common man as

3:28

for the common man the road history and the

3:31

it's the is the wealthy or the

3:33

upper-class whose benefited from government intervention

3:37

so do you think the black community

3:40

gets it because it sounds like you're describing conservative principles but

3:44

do african-americans

3:46

relate to those principles in any way mean by I think black americans have a

3:50

I think a misguided faith a in the

3:53

leadership the up the a black americans and and you see this

3:58

misguided faith is that if you as people like jesse jackson

4:02

and Al Sharpton what's your view on the death penalty they would be against it

4:06

but most black people are for the death penalty

4:09

if you look at abortion most black people are against abortion but the

4:12

so-called black leaders are for abortion

4:15

a.m. the matter fact if you just look at a polo black people

4:19

that they had more in common with the reverend falwell

4:22

then the object jesse jackson in terms of their particular values in

4:27

has that changed under President Obama well

4:30

I i think again that's a a a misguided sense

4:34

love loyalty because black people who voted in ninety five percent of the vote

4:38

for President Obama

4:39

and and if you look at almost any statistical the

4:43

a bird-like welfare it has been the

4:47

stagnant or worse under present no bomb

4:51

and I guess my final question is are conservatives sensitive to the needs of

4:56

those who are impoverished

4:58

in this country because so often you hear democrats are folks on the left

5:02

say well republicans don't get it conservatives don't get it they're not

5:07

for the poor people

5:08

is that true well I'm I don't play I don't think so I

5:12

you look if you if you look at schools just education is one thing

5:16

it seems like the conservatives bar for school choice

5:20

therefore parents being able to get their children at these dangerous

5:25

fraudulent schools but if you look at that

5:28

and Liberal Democrats they're they're guided by the National Education

5:33

Association

5:34

and they are against I get the a school choice

5:38

and so it I think that conservative need to make a little bit more

5:41

update how school choice would benefit

5:45

blacks medivac just easy you know they're

5:48

like him fill out the idli right now about 21,000 people

5:52

on the waiting list for charter schools and

5:55

but the republicans or conservatives would support charter schools where by

6:00

the Liberals

6:01

and Democrats will not alright doctor williams thanks much for taking time

6:07
