<\/p>\nTODD: Let\u2019s talk to Joyce in Houston, Texas. Joyce, you\u2019re on the Rush Limbaugh program, Todd Herman, your guide host. Hi, Joyce. Welcome.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you. You know, I want to talk about the Floyd situation. And I didn\u2019t watch the trial because, I purposed in my heart that he could not get a fair trial — and I\u2019m not saying that he should have gotten away scot-free. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m saying. But there is no way that this man, this policeman, could get a fair trial.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you are picking jurors, and they awarded that family $27 million, what is that telling the juror? Then you got your whole city boarded up because if thugs don\u2019t get their way, they\u2019re going to burn down your city. I don\u2019t agree with the jurors, but I can understand their reasoning, that if you can\u2019t protect your police precinct — you let it be burned down.<\/p>\n
What is to say that these people learn that I was a juror, that they won\u2019t burn down my house? I could understand that. I don\u2019t agree, but I can understand their reasoning. And then, in my community, when it became racial, I am so sick and tired of this “systemic racism.” There are no organized conspiracies to keep blacks down. There are pockets of bigotry for sure. But they\u2019re not powerful enough to keep you down if you have some get-up-and-go about yourself.<\/p>\n
TODD: Hmm. Hmm.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And I hear this constantly. I live in the most dangerous neighborhood in Houston, the sixth in the nation, and we constantly talk about racism. “Who is keeping us down?” and I contend that — and I\u2019ve always said that those old rich Republicans are the reason that our nice communities in Houston have turned into ghettos, and the old white, rich Republicans are the cause of it.<\/p>\n
I get so tired of telling my people, “The old rich white Republicans is not our problem. We are our problem — and until we face the fact that we are our own worst enemies, nothing is gonna change!” There are blacks in my community, senior citizens, that have gotten broken into and murdered. You don\u2019t even know their names! But you know Floyd, all over this nation.<\/p>\n
All over the nation, you know Floyd, and he shouldn\u2019t have been killed, okay? But you don\u2019t even know these seniors\u2019 names. Ask my congresswoman, Sheila Jackson Lee. When she is up in Washington getting things ready for illegal aliens to stay here, ask her does she know any of these seniors\u2019 names in our community! She is our representative. I guarantee you they don\u2019t know their names.<\/p>\n
But I tell you one thing, she sure know about Floyd, and we have got to stop in the black community… I have traveled out of this country several times and I want to say to the blacks that\u2019s listening that you\u2019re so angry and you come up with this fake racism and every scene. That\u2019s not our problem. There\u2019s no better place for us, and you\u2019re gonna sit here and allow people to use you as pawns to mess up what\u2019s best for you today.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no better place for us. Like I say, I been several times. There is no better place for us, and I am tired of you blaming someone else and then, in our community, one of the main reasons that these young people are getting shot and killed, because they didn\u2019t have — and especially these young black men, they didn\u2019t have — no dads in the home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When Obama was in the White House, all in my community just, “Oh, we are so blessed! We have a black man in the White House.” I said, “We need to a black man in the black house!” If we had black men in these homes, the policeman… If they had these black men in these homes, put something on their behind when they needed to it —<\/p>\n
TODD: (laughing)<\/p>\n
CALLER: — then the policeman wouldn\u2019t have to shoot \u2019em when they stop them because we have taught them to hate the policeman. We teach them from little bitty things, “If you\u2019re bad, I\u2019m gonna call the policeman!” You put that in that baby\u2019s mind that the policeman is bad. There are few bad policemen, but basically the policeman is out there to do a job to protect with us, and I get so tired of, “Oh, they arrest more blacks than they do whites.” Well, hell, we do more crime! So what are they gonna do, just let us go? We have got to change.<\/p>\n
TODD: Joyce, the last thing in the world I want to do right now is to cut in. The clock is sometimes… It\u2019s what we do in the radio show. I need you to hear me. You are… I get paid money to speak. You are one of the most eloquent people I have ever met, and I feel torn between crying and joy to hear the words of wisdom that you\u2019re speaking and the way you speak them. I hear the… I just…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I hear you, and I want you to know a whole bunch of people just heard you. And this is easily one of the top three calls that I\u2019ve ever, ever heard on radio, and to be a participant in it, Joyce, God bless you. God bless you and keep you. You know what? Forget my name. That was Joyce, the program participant on this segment of the Rush Limbaugh program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
