Living as a white guy in America after having grown up elsewhere, I must say, I don’t see much ill-will towards blacks among my fellow whites. There are traces of it, I know; I read the comment threads. The vast majority of white Americans, however, wish no harm to blacks, nor any restriction of their civil rights. I never hear that from people I mix with, and I mix with all sorts. What I do hear is a constant, steady, undercurrent of resentment, expressed in guarded tones for fear of the t aboo enforcers — resentment of what you can only call black privilege.
You know what I mean: the Affirmative Action slots and set-asides, the excuses and free passes, the mealy-mouthed newspaper reports about “the robber was a tall man in his thirties,” all that.
You don’t file your taxes, you end up in jail; Al Sharpton doesn’t file his taxes, he’s invite d to the White House. Black privilege.
It makes for resentment. It goes against the American grain. We’re supposed to be a country without a privileged class.
I was at a party the other day chatting to a middle-aged white American guy I know, a teacher in a New York City public school. He was complaining about the difficulty of disciplining kids: “He does something truly outrageous, you send him to the principal’s office; an hour later he’s back at his desk, laughing at you.”
In situations like that, I try to encourage people to be more frank, which most people won’t be without encouragement. So I asked straight out if this was the result of official guidelines — city, state, or federal — about easing up on disciplining blacks.
“Oh yeah!” said the guy, relieved to be with someone he could open up to. “A white or an Asian kid, they’d get suspended for sure. A black kid, same offense — right back in his desk an hour later.”
I hear it all the time. I read it, too. Here I am reading it on CampusReform.org, an excellent and very fair website, by no means Alt-Right. The story is dated June 2nd: Dartmouth gives BLM students pass for profane library protest (By Peter Fricke).
BLM is of course Black Lives Matter, George Soros’s latest front in the war against normal life in the U.S.A. The profane library protest occurred last November 12th — you may remember it — when 150 BLM activists descended on the Dartmouth college library where students were engaged in quiet study and research.
The activists made a lot of noise, addressing white students with well-documented screams of “F*** you, you filthy white f***s!,” and “F*** you, you racist s***!” There was a certain amount of touching and shoving, although no-one seems to have been socked in the jaw — a sad fact by itself, in my personal opinion.
Well, the administration of Dartmouth College conducted a lengthy investigation of this outrageous incident. Their conclusion was spelled out in a letter to Dartmouth alumni from Meg Ramsden [Email her] Assistant Director of Alumni Relations:
The College … after concluding its investigation with respect to the complaints and studying what was seen in the video in Baker-Berry Library … determined that there were no specific violations of the Standards of Conduct. In essence, no rules for which there are recorded and communicated sanctions were broken.
Dartblog: “No Charges For BLM Confirmed (Again)”, by Joseph Asch ’79 on May 30, 2016
Translation: Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, please.
I leave you to imagine the consequences if 150 nonblack students had occupied the library and screamed obscenities at blacks trying to study.
Blacks, however, get away with it. Why?
Black privilege.
More Black Privilege, news, also on CampusReform.org, we hear about Mr. and Mrs. Christakis of Yale University. Radio Derb reported on them last November. The Christakises, you may remember, supervised Silliman College, one of Yale’s residential facilities.
The occasion of that November report was a protest by black students against Mrs. Christakis. The Intercultural Affairs Committee had sent out a campus-wide email warning students to be sensitive when selecting their Halloween costumes, so that nobody’s feelings would be hurt by seeing a turban, a feathered headdress, or a sombrero, or — oh, heaven forbid! — anyone in blackface.
Well, Mrs. Christakis had pushed back gently against that email, sending out an email of her own to Silliman students, saying, inter alia:
American universities were once a safe space not only for maturation but also for a certain regressive, or even transgressive, experience; increasingly, it seems, they have become places of censure and prohibition … Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious … a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive?
That got the protestors out, screeching and wailing at Mrs. Christakis for her shameful, unthinkably insensitive defense of free expression.
That was last November. The protests never stopped. Mr. and Mrs. Christakis have been under some level of harassment ever since. At the Silliman College graduation ceremony May 23rd, several students refused to accept their diplomas from Mr. Christakis.
Now the Christakises have had enough. [Anti-speech activists drive Yale administrators to resign, by Peter Fricke, Campus Reform, May 26, 2016] Mr. Christakis has withdrawn from his administrative duties at Silliman, and will concentrate on his teaching and research. Mrs. Christakis is quitting college work altogether, resuming her previous career in early childhood education because—actual quote from her—”preschool students don’t try to get you fired.”
Hey, be careful, lady; don’t give them ideas.
The Yale administration has of course been vigorous in defense of the Christakises, and in disciplining the black students who have been harassing, intimidating, and insulting them this past seven months. [Laughter.]
Just kidding there, of course. In fact Yale admin has cringed and whimpered before Black Privilege as colleges always do.
It is of course redundant to point out that if the races were reversed here—black administrators driven to resignation by screeching white brats—Interstate 95 would be backed up all the way to the New York state line with carloads of investigators and prosecutors from the Federal Department of Justice determined to root out the perpetrators and wreck their lives.
Black privilege: We’re fed up with it. Is there a way back to equal, impartial treatment for all Americans? Not outcomes: innate race differences will always prevent that. But treatment?
One final, related, point: I’ve described myself somewhere or other as “a freedom of association absolutist.” I’ll allow for a small number of exceptions in public institutions like the military, but my default position is that nobody should have to associate with persons, or classes of persons, they’d rather not associate with.
That position is of course outrageously at odds with current social and political dogmas. All the power centers of our society have been working for decades now to stamp out freedom of association as I understand it.
Here’s the latest example: Harvard University. Many Harvard students belong to social clubs: the usual Greek fraternities and sororities, but also a dozen or so so-called “final clubs,” of which the most famous is the Porcellian, which dates back to the 1790s.
Most of these clubs are single-sex. That’s got the Harvard administration mad, because … Well, let College Dean Rakesh Khurana explain. This is a quote from a May 6th letter he wrote to Harvard President Drew Faust:
The discriminatory membership policies of these organizations have led to the perpetuation of spaces that are rife with power imbalances.
Yes, there really are people who talk like that. “Spaces” … “power imbalances” … This is the cant of our age.
There’s not a whole lot Harvard can do about these clubs, which are privately owned and administered. What they can do is hit out at the students who patronize them. And that’s what they’re doing.
Starting with the 2017 freshman class, students in these clubs will no longer be qualified for leadership positions — captain of an athletics team and such. They’ll also be shut out from fellowships, like Rhodes and Fulbright Scholarships.
Sure, it’s petty and spiteful. We have to make sure those spaces aren’t rife with power imbalances, though.
In case you’re wondering, Rakesh Khurana is an Indian immigrant. Ms. Drew Gilpin Faust was “brought up in the South,” according to Wikipedia, but check out Steve Sailer’s scathing critique of her career here and here.
John Derbyshire [email him] writes an incredible amount on all sorts of subjectsfor all kinds of outlets. (This no longer includes National Review, whose editors had some kind of tantrum and fired him. ) He is the author of We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism and several other books. He’s had two books published by VDARE.com: FROM THE DISSIDENT RIGHT (also available in Kindle) and From the Dissident Right II: Essays 2013. His writings are archived atJohnDerbyshire.com.
Even someone as sane as David Frum laughs off the idea that whites are discriminated again.
What would people need to be convinced that liberals hate the white race? How about if every time we apply for school, a job, or a government contract, we check a box that says we’re white and afterwards are discriminated against on those grounds? Not only discriminated against directly, but, with doctrines like disparate impact, things having nothing to do with race would be banned because they helped too many whiteys? Is it possible that we’ll ever get to a world like that? Maybe then people would start to realize that anti-white discrimination is a thing.
The elites make up their own rules.
This is their way of appeasing the Negroes.
Ivy League or Hollywood, they pull some bad shit.
Power decides the rules.

“Despite the pressure to remain quiet Robertson and his wife Dina Merrill spoke to the press. As a result, Hollywood producers blacklisted him.”
Yes, Negro fatigue is real. But, as John has aptly noted in other articles, whites are wimps. So far the preferred response is to move away from dysfunctional blacks and insulate your own community with money. I see very few signs of white rebellion or push back.
You can’t be this simple, Old Bean, I don’t know that anyone can.
“Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard: Black Privilege (And Rightist Loony) Watch In Academe.”
On December 10, 2015, Larycia Hawkins, a political science professor at America’s prestigious Evangelic Wheaton College posted her photo wearing Hijab (modesty head-covering in Islamic tradition) on her Facebook page. She also stated that she will be wearing Hijab all the time even in church during Christmas session as a sign of condemnation of the anti-Muslim propaganda funded by pro-Israel Jewish millionaires.
Ms Hawkins also claimed that as a Christian, she worship the same God as Muslims worship Allah.
“I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book. And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God,” Hawkins stated. “But as I tell my students, theoretical solidarity is not solidarity at all. Thus, beginning tonight, my solidarity has become embodied solidarity.”
Hawkins also urged other non-Muslim women to wear Hijab in solidarity with practicing Muslim women in order to fight anti-Muslim bigotry.
Carol Brown at Zio-conservative magazine ‘American Thinker’ (December 14, 2014) couldn’t digest Hawkins’ faith statement. Ms Brown wrote: The Christian God is God of love. Muslim God is God of hate.
I don’t know, when was the last time Brown opened her Bible. The Bible’s God hates Jews, He discriminate against women, He wants Jews/Christians to kill all their combatant and non-combatant enemies except 3-year-old girls who could be used as sex slaves.
Here is what Carol Brown’s God says: If you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me – you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters (Leviticus).
Carol Brown needs to learn on Hijab from American Jewish feminist and author Naomi Wolf how Hijab has liberated western educated females and converts from western exploitation of women bodies…….

It’s a sad commentary where he who yells the loudest gets the prize. The Universities are showing what a bunch of leaderless cowards they really are, not much wonder their degrees are worthless.
Hey Derb please keep up the high output at Unz. I like anything from you!
Derbyshire complains about Black privilege for the entire article but passing by mentions (((Soros))) is responsible for the whole operation… Whose privilege is that?
Is Derbyshire’s mind too biased to see it? or is he misinforming afraid of criticizing those who are actually in power.
So you are claiming that you favorite Kenyan blood Obama is not telling the IRS to let Al Sharpton slide on the few million in taxes he owes? No way can the Kenyan’s IRS be this corrupt. Right?
IRS is Internal Revenue Service.
You probably meant INS: Immigration and Naturalization Service,
which now is , according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Naturalization_Service ,
Making this comment, I do not claim or deny absence of presence of corruption in those offices.
The normally insightful Mr. D fails to see this commotion for what it is: Theater. He thinks the BLM stuff is theater. It’s just the play within the play. Instead, the real Theater is the elite schools’ apparent “concern”.
This academic drama, dripping with sanctimony, convinces the minorities that People in Power actually give a crap about their problems. News flash: they don’t care.
These schools are run by the donors. Modestly successful Ivy alumni (guys/gals like me) writing five-figure checks to make sure our little darlings can gain admission have minimal influence – we are merely tolerated. No, these places are run by mega-Donors who have an interest in placating the “minorities” to ensure a safe environment for the greater welfare-warfare looting/state to continue.
It’s classic Penn/Teller misdirection. If you’re white: focus your resentment on the angry, ingrate BLM kids. If you’re a minority: ignore the fact that we will never take you seriously. Just go ahead and protest all you want. We gave you admission and a scholarship after all. We must care!
In this sense, Obama was the greatest oligarch theater “prop” of all time. Would George Bush, Bonesman, have been allowed to bail out the banks and bomb Afghanistan for another 8 years? Obama was necessary, so we got him. BLM is necessary, so we have it.
Look on the bright side.
Bad news for Harvard and Dartmouth= good news for sane Universities as more good sane applicants will choose them.
I’ve never understood why people here want to defend Harvard, etc.
Good NY teacher dispirited? Maybe he’ll change school boards and go to one where he’s appreciated.
There is a theory out there that our elites give Affirmative Action to Blacks in order to keep them down. An intelligent Black kid, who would do well in a decent state school, is instead invited into a prestigious university where he is outclassed by White and Asian students and becomes a Black History major where he will have little chance of upsetting the apple cart. An Affirmative Action hire in a company is also outclassed by his fellow workers, and knows it, so he plays along, happy to have been bought off. If this is true, and it does seem to be working, I guess our elites know what they’re doing. It’s a long term strategy that Blacks seem to have swallowed completely.
Well, let me spell it out for you…
There are many people in this great nation that are totally and completely above the law. This is due the the distraction, fearmongering , or tension creating services they provide as cover for the elites, to enslave you and your whole family.
The elites are white people, therefore there are very few black people who achieve this above the law status; although there are a few whom are quite good at their job, Barry’s one, Al is another.
To some it up, only a complete dipshit could believe that ATL status is conferred upon one BECAUSE he is black, rather than IN SPITE OF it.
But then, this is dip.shits.rus.com.
Oh stop it. WASPs were using blacks to cudgel poor whites and Southerners rhetorically or actually back when Horace Greeley and Henry Cabot Lodge et al were running things.
It wasn’t a jew arm-twisting Nelson Rockefeller to pander the way he did.
The ((()))ers just picked up where the WASPs left off.
Got it! Reverund Al is a black overachiever and congratulations are in order! What would James Brown say?
What’s with the extraneous use of brackets?
Pin this one to your dashboard, Bro.

It indicates the bracketee is Jewish.
Great comment! Except that I do not think that Mr. D. was ever insightful.
Black lives matter so much I think they should have their own seperate schools.
Blacks are a class apart in sports too. I’d say give them their own competitions because they are too athletic to compete with whites. Except maybe for Table tennis and Curling.
The more ridiculous Harvard makes itself, the better off we’ll all be.
Derb, thanks.
“One final, related, point: I’ve described myself somewhere or other as “a freedom of association absolutist.” Amen.
And, to which may be added something like: “And the rules for voluntary association and involuntary association, i. e. compulsion, ought to be commonly understood and comport with basic notions of civic comity and justice.”
How many of us commenting here and elsewhere on “UR” have been in work or social situations where we thought we knew what the rules were, thought we were playing by them, only to find we didn’t know the real rules at all?
my god, you are stupid. You post on every article, and all you ever talk about is jews=bad, islam =good, white man=bad.
Please leave the West if you hate it so much. Please go and live in your shitty third world desert land, where the electricity breaks down all the time, road rules –and roads themselves — are virtually non-existent, and gay people are killed for being gay.
This has NOTHING to do with “appeasing the Negroes” whatsoever. Of any by themselves, Negroes are largely irrelevant, nowhere moreso than in the Ivy League. There’s no need for elites to “appease” them.
Negroes are pawns used by white Leftist elites to attack and vilify and anger conservative, hard-working, taxpaying whites. Simple as that. The Left actually keeps Negroes on a fairly short leash… they’ll never allow them to actually control these institutions, just enable them to engage in calculated disruptions that serve as political theater for Leftist propaganda.
Hi stupid can you tell me where your five million western ancestors went after WWII?
The greatest enemies of you Jews have always been your fellow Jews – just read your history from some objective source, moron.
Every Israeli Hasbara idiot will tell you that while Muslims kills other Muslims (true no doubt), Jews will never kill their fellow Jews. However, historic events prove that after the Christians, most of the Jews killed were murdered by their fellow Jews. In fact, the former US President Richard Nixon is recorded on the White House tape in 1971 as saying: “The only two non-Jews in the Communist conspiracy were Chambers and Hiss – Every other one was a Jew and it raised hell with us”….

Swimming.
Let’s see if I can tease some rare relevance out of this typical Rehmat farrago. The name of his heroine may be the clue. Could Larycia Hawkins be black?
John,
Have you considered that Blacks need “Black Privilege” because they have nothing else to offer? They need something to generate income — Black Privilege wrapped in White Guilt — because nothing else seems to function within Black culture. Show me one nation, one city, one corporation, one school system, or one neighborhood under their tutelage that functions well … including our current Federal Government.
It seems that the African-American minority community spent 52 years trying to integrate into high-tech, northern European culture and they are declaring failure. They can’t pull it off. I guess their answer is that it can’t be done. So, what are their options? Declare their current state of separateness and under achievement a virtue — it’s diverse; it’s different; it’s diversity, which is desirable for its own sake. The greater the difference, the greater the diversity, the greater the value. If there are performance differences along the way, they are due to oppressive “White Privilege” which cannot be seen but can be felt but only by Blacks.
It’s a living ….
The difference is between the alleged racism of whites compared to the real racism of most afro americans is:
– – that whites are reactive, based upon personal experience, to the actions of afro americans;
– – whereas afro americans have an active racism that is self initiated, which is based on their own personal obsessions about race .
The only solution that the white guilt libs can come up with is that we all should pander more, and add more giveaways to afro american entitlements. If afro americans are screaming for race war under every pseudo provocation now, what are they going to do when the money runs out?
Good lord,
You are an idiot. As is Larycia Hawkins.
Corrected.
Al-lah wants Muslims to kill all their combatant and non-combatant enemies except any infant to young adult girls who can be used as sex slaves, or boys who can be brainwashed to the cause.
Sorry, it is in your ‘holy books’, not too much else in them.
Sounds pretty right to me, including from bitter experience.
‘Same god’ is bulldust, the current Pope is a destructive moron. Benedict had a rather more negative view. Al-lah was just one of the gods and demons represented by the 300+ idols at the ancient pilgrimage site, Mecca.
The paranoid schizophrenic illiterate psycho-killer with a taste for rape and near-infant flesh just happened to choose that particular one.
The Reverend Al Green did record some good music. Sharpton was good at being obese.
No, they do worship the same God that we do. They just think He ordered them to kill us. That’s actually far worse than mere paganism.
Belloc got it right– Islam is one of the Great Heresies. This meme that “Allah is not God” is counterproductive.
I’m a white guy who grew up in a majority black neighborhood. While I’ve gotten into fights with black Americans before I’ve always had a saying “well he’ll at least they’re Americans….”
Black Americans for all their problems at least they’re one of us…..
There have been numerous studies showing those who have no or fewer kids tend to be wealthy and more well off than those with kids…..
While the black birthrate is falling if we instituted a China type one child policy and enforced it on high risk white trash and black populations. …..within 20 years they would be thanking us for stopping them from having more children than they could support…..
They might be kicking and screaming all the way to that point but look at how the Chinese have done with their one child policy…..
Just imagine what a world it would be if this bizarro and his fellow Islamists had full power. And why do such people migrate to the West?
“Negro fatigue”, yeah, agree, Diversity Heretic. I’m not seeing any endgame in Black-White relations where something like justice is achieved and agreed-upon. I’ve mentioned before that I am seeing White, cis-gender males as a sort of “political public good”, a store of endless rationales for some Blacks, Latinos, women, and gays, to claim injuries and preferences.
” . . . [P]referred response is to move away from dysfunctional blacks . . .”. Yeah, many Whites have successfully self-segregated in opposition to government policies at extraordinary cost. A credible White “moral rearmament” isn’t in the cards. If it were, claims for reparations due Blacks could, I think, be readily met with counter-claims for reparations due Whites.
Ugly business? Sure. And, in my opinion, Blacks actually do have occasional legitimate grievances of collective ill treatment that have to be sorted out on a case-by-case basis. But, overall, I’d say blind “accommodationism” and appeasement is the default White response to organized Black demands.
(((Frum)))
Black privilege rears its ugly head on college campuses once again.
Reg,
I have read the Belloc in question, many good points.
I prefer Celine’s writing on the point, as he says, being beyond the bounds of early Christendom, and illiterate, all Mo had to go on was the tuition he purchased from Jewish sources, and the pagan traditions of Mecca at the time.
All he could have had was the foggiest of ideas. How can that be classed as a heresy?
There is an interesting sentence in the section of Gibbon’s Decline and Fall on early Islam, where he mentions, then immediately discounts, a theory he’d come across that Islam was a Jewish concoction.
However, he neither cites the source nor discusses it, I would love to know what he’d read and what it said, after all, it fits the chronology of the Koran, although backfiring on them in the latter parts of the tale.
I am quite sure that a small range of Christian heresies had a strong influence on early Islam as it went on the rampage, specifically the iconoclastic groups and the Circumcellions (I am convinced they had a strong influence on the sick Islamic version of martyrdom, the Circumcellions already had their own sick version and were already attacking groups of people in the hope that they would be ‘martyred’ in return ‘Come on, kill me then’), and they were mainly Berbers, but I doubt that other groups the Muslim hordes came across, such as the Paulicians, Nestorians, Marcionites had any real influence except insofar as the former, and presumably the latter, were heavily iconoclastic.
So, I do not go along with Belloc’s ‘great heresy’ argument. A heresy requires common roots.
At least some of the Monty Python crew had read of the Circumcellions, since they include a great scene in The Life of Brian that must be based on having read about them.
Copy Pickett’s Charge. I hope.
I am quite sure that Soros is a liar, a cheat, an insider trader, and as butt-ugly as Madeleine Albright, but why should Mr. Derb raise the wages of sin of Soros in an article that has nothing to do with Soros? Sure, he creates the atmosphere to some extent, I doubt he was doing direct cash hand-outs in this case.
If you want to make a point like that, track the money snail-trails from Soros, and post the info in a form other than a post here, just a link, or a concise post, or you may like to write an article here about the pernicious activities of Soros.
Soros was a Nazi collaborator in his early youth. Curious, isn’t it?
Not that I automatically hate Nazis, they were our wartime allies.
More black PRESTIGE than black privilege.
Due to the Narrative of Jimmy Crow and predominance of blacks in sports/funky-music, blacks have prestigious position in the West.
They are fawned upon and showered with pity for their image of victimhood and powerlessness, but they are also admired, even worshiped, for their power in sports, music, and hump-culture.
It’s the King Kong Syndrome or Martin Luther King Kong Syndrome.
Perfectly encapsulated in the mountain-sized Negro who wuvs a wittle white mouse in THE GREEN MILE. So big and strong but so pitiable and holy-shmoly.
A lot of white Libs like Stephen King and Joyce Carol Oates can fantasize this fusion of power and powerlessness in their safe whitopias divorced from reality. It’s a kind of spiritual-jungalo-fever.
And there is also token-ism of the bros, or Brokenism.
Dindu-dressing as racial window-dressing.
Jack: Thanks for your comment. I don’t see how it’s all going to sort itself out either at this point. But look out for you and your own!
http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2016/06/the-jewish-war-on-white-australia-refugee-policy-and-the-african-crime-plague-part-1/#comment-281138
Blacks are physically tougher and stronger. You can see this in sports. Blacks are more aggressive, thuggish, and criminal. You can see this in rap music, Detroit, Baltimore, Haiti, and all black African nations that are social hellholes.
(When I say blacks are stronger, I don’t mean the strongest men in the world are black. They may be white or Iranian. I’m saying blacks are built for speed, power, and fighting skills. In most integrated schools, the violence is overwhelmingly black on white even in one-on-one fights. I’ve seen it first-hand too many times.)
But because Jews control the media and play on ‘white guilt’ and ‘black nobility’, so many people think they must have black immigration to have a good ‘diverse’ nation.
Well, look at Australia. Many immigrant groups in Australia cause no trouble, but blacks act pretty crazy there even though they weren’t brought as slaves but as free people showered with benefits.
White nations are safe places from black savagery. Whites should keep them that way.
Notice that black Africans cause more trouble in Australia than native Aborigine blacks do. Black Africans are just stronger and more aggressive. They have savage instincts. Aboriginal Australians were historical victims of near-genocide whereas black Africans arrive as free men showered with all sorts of benefits. But black Africans cause more problems.
So, when we look at black problems in the US, we need to look to heredity than history. It’s not what white people did to blacks from the outside that is crucial. It is what evolution did to the inner DNA of the blacks.
Even white Liberals make all the PC noises but use heavy police presence(and stop-and-frisk) and gentrification to create a barrier between themselves and blacks.
White Liberals praise Muhammad Ali but don’t want to live with loud-mouthed black thugs who can easily beat up whites.
If white ‘right’ really wants to change the ‘narrative’, it has to go HBD not only on intelligence but in Thug Difference. Blacks make superior thugs.
On thuggery, blacks are the superior race, and inferior whites need safe spaces from them.
White folks should say that Blacks are the Superior Thug Race, therefore whites, as the inferior thug race, need safe space away from the Negroes.
While it’s true that the PROGLOB(‘progressive-globalists’) use blacks that way, it is also true that they are afraid of loud and angry blacks.
So, there is an element of appeasement.
Also, PROGLOB doesn’t always encourage black rage. They sometimes do but not always. Sometimes, blacks just go nuts on their own, and PROGLOB do their best by trying to channel and divert this rage at ‘rednecks’ and ‘bad racist whites’. On that score, you are right.
But there is more to it than that. Even without white ‘leftist’ encouragement, blacks are pretty crazy and aggressive.
Also, the promotion of homo-tranny stuff to the forefront shows that the so-called ‘left'(dominated by Jews) want to change the nature of ‘leftism’ from mass politics to elite concerns(esp as Jewish elites and homos are very close. Indeed many homo organizations are run by Jews.)
Also, Diversity may seem to favor blacks, and in some ways, it does. But massive immigration makes blacks less and less relevant as the Liberal Elites can rely more on browns(Latino and Hindu) and yellows and Muslims to maintain the anti-conservative bloc.
Look at California. What did mass immigration really do for blacks?
Diversity elevates blacks… to toss them into the lake.
[I’ve seen it first-hand too many times.]
Priss is a teacher in a school with lots of dindus? I like the thought.
The rise of homomania makes me skeptical about human reason.
First, the most educated and intelligent people came up with ideas like ‘gay marriage’. Decadence and deviance used to be something to tolerate. Now, it is the foundation of new morality and spirituality.
And then, just because TV ads and celebrities in music and fashion pushed that nonsense on the public, the great majority of young people are for stuff like ‘gay marriage’ too. And then, we are told Bruce Jenner is a woman because he feels like it and goes around in a dress.
Are people really this easy to dupe?
Liberal elites used to be more rational and skeptical in the past as the forces of conservatism were religion and tribalism. Reason was useful against those mindsets.
But now that the Liberal elites hog all the power, they find reason and skepticism to be problematic because rational conservatives find so many holes in PC and other such nonsense. So, Liberalism is now all about turning young kids into mindless drones from young age with heavy does of PC and Pop Culture.
PC plants land mines in the brain. The mind has to think cautiously lest it step on the mines of ‘racism’, ‘sexism’, ‘homophobia’, ‘Islamophobia’, ‘antisemitism’, and etc.
Jonathan Haidt and Steven Pinker are right about the decline of true liberal culture in American life.
Instead of clearing the mines for free thought, PC plants mines all over to hinder free thought.
Ridiculous.
PC is the mining of the minds with explosives so that you will have to tread very carefully when you think. Otherwise, you might step on the ‘racist’ mine and your mind might go BOOM!!
Clear the mind-mines and think freely.
Are there any other outside organizations whose members will be punished?
What about Orthodox Synagogues in the area that hang a shroud between men and women so the men cannot be tempted away from Godly thoughts by the earthy, lascivious, corrupting vision of females?
What about students who participate in racially-discriminatory organizations like Jack and Jill, Boulé, and 100 Black Men?
What about students who are members of the Catholic Church, which denies women the right to be priests?
What about Hillel, the university student Jewish organization?
Frum is an idiot. He may be sane by some legal definition, but he’s an utter, raving moron.
Thanks, DH, and props for your comments.
John got a shout out in the Economist.

Nicholas A. Christakis is a physician, a medical doctor, i.e., a real doctor and not one of those fake doctors of philosophy in 20/c Chicana literary studies.
Classic Anglo-American etiquette (at least as I’ve always understood it) dictates that Mr. Christakis be referred to as “Dr.” Christakis. Just one of those little ways of keeping up our side.
What do you mean by “[You are] seeing White, cis-gender males as a sort of “political public good”, a store of endless rationales for some Blacks, Latinos, women, and gays, to claim injuries and preferences.”
TTIC, Black graduation rates at the nearby less selective state university are one-third of Whites’, but recent student newspaper articles attributed that solely to insufficient remedial courses, and purportedly unwelcoming attitudes among White students and White professors. White males of European extraction make up no more than about 38% of the student body, but the call to recruit more minorities and White women, allegedly because of their underrepresentation, are a campus staple.
Black males are actually overrepresented on the football team, because there are a lot of good Black football players, more so than Whites drawn from their cohort. The reasoning that performance explains the numbers doesn’t carry over to the academic side. Does that help?
Stupid whites are love with a lot of what blacks do in athletics, culture, music and so on so why shouldn’t blacks promote this into a black privilege and make this into a money maker and an industry? Then you get all kinds of money from government and private foundations. All kinds of sinecures at universities in black studies departments and so on. Huge sectors of the Federal government are mostly devoted to employing blacks and ministering to them via useless programs and handouts. Like in high schools having teen pregnancy prevention programs in Chicago, Los Angeles and any inner city.
Lots of jobs in these programs! Mostly for black and minority women.
I think this is a wider cultural phenomenon. People have always loved big strong heroes with little but fatal flaws, like Achilles or Siegfried. They have also always loved big strong heroes who had to fight sinister forces. Also people love having a free lunch, they want everything: big, bad, wild, nice, lovely, vulnerable, all in one figure.
I was a student at Dartmouth 25 years ago, and I find it humourous to see the transmogrification of a school that suspended (practically expelled) a handful of students for “vexations oral exchange” (not a joke – that was the charge) to one where screaming obscenities in the library and threatening other students represents “no specific violation” of the school’s code.
Sad, really.
A new frontier in Identity Politics.
Trans-individuals.
If man says he is a woman, he is woman, right?
Then if an individual says he is another individual, he is that individual. If we are what we say we are, then it shouldn’t just apply in the general sense but in the specific sense.
Henceforth, Elvis impersonators are no longer mere impersonators. If they really claim to be him, then they are him, the real Elvis.
It sort of makes sense that this trans-thing has become like a religion in an Age when religion is dead. Maybe there is an impulse in people that wants to be more than what they are. We prefer fantasy over reality. Pop culture is a kind of trans-fantasy in that all these idiots identify with idols and stars. Their rooms have more pics of industry-generated stars than family members. People identify less with real flesh and blood and more with fantasy idols and ‘heroes’.
After all, religion is about transitioning from one state to another.
Going from flesh to spirit.
Jesus was a Jew who claimed to be Son of God, thus God Himself.
Buddha supposedly transitioned to the state of Nirvana.
Via reincarnations, the soul can embody different living things as vessels.
Transhuman movement talks of transitioning man into supermachine that bestows upon the New Man godlike powers and eternal life.
In BUBBLEGUM CRISIS, Brian J. Mason transitions himself into Largo who considers himself a god.

The fact is that deep down progressive whites don’t really believe blacks are capable of the same quality of work or standards of behavior as white people, and all of their social policies (AA, the constellation of social welfare programs, disciplinary policies, etc.) are built around around this fact. Blacks in turn have completely internalized this latent message and thus many blacks of above average capability go through life believing they don’t have the tools to succeed in modern society and need some kind of special consideration from employers, schools, and society in general.
Personally, I’d rather be ignored by someone than treated with special attention that implies getting over the lowest possible bar is all that can reasonably be expected of me…but that doesn’t seem to be the case with a huge percentage of the black electorate.
Al Green was and is a great one. What smooth singing! He was crooning for the ladies! Yes, both are men of the cloth, as the case may be in black communities. Though Al Green had a real church going on if I remember right. Al Sharpton (claims he is a Reverend) did in fact work for James Brown for some years and idolized him.
wikipedia sez— Between the years 1973 and 1980 Sharpton served as James Brown’s tour manager
How about this campaign?
Return California to Mexico.
This will be good for American Conservatives cuz…
Democratic Party will lose huge electoral base.
Much of CA is already Mexico anyways.
The lowlife Liberal elites in CA who say Mexico is wonderful and diversity is so great will have to live under Mexican rule.
“Blacks in turn have completely internalized this latent message and thus many blacks of above average capability go through life believing they don’t have the tools to succeed in modern society and need some kind of special consideration from employers, schools, and society in general.”
To understand blacks, you mustn’t focus so much on what they think but what/how they feel. Blacks have a inner-quality that might be called the Jafro.
This Jafro is powerful as a racial personality among the blacks.
It makes them self-centered, combative, touchy, narcissistic, aggressive, psychopathic, and above all nasty(and shi*).
White people often make the mistake of trying to figure out what blacks think when much of what blacks be saying is shaped by what they be feeling.
The gush of emotions that pour out of the Jafro is hunter-warrior-ish because blacks evolved by fighting gorillas, running from lions, chucking spears at hippos, beating bongo drums, and sexual courting each other by shaking the booty or swinging the dong.
Blacks feelings are too powerful to settle down to favor reason and logic. The Jafro overrides other possibilities.
To better understand the black, try to see the world through funky ass Ebonics.
Some friends were at Dartmouth 10 years prior to you, and noted that one of the then-popular bumper stickers read “Peace Through Superior Firepower”. Nowadays that would be indictable. How times have changed.
This is already happening. They were hiring summer interns at the well-known engineering firm where I work. I offered the hiring manager the resume of a friend’s son. “Is he white?” I was asked. “Yes”. “I’ll take the resume but won’t look at it; All our internships are for URM’s (Under Represented Minorites, aka blacks, hispanics or women)”. In the end it was Asian women that were hired since no qualified blacks or hispanics could be found. Full time hiring is done mostly from the intern pool. As a result they recently introduced 30 new hires for the quarter. Not a single American-born white male. Mostly Asian men and URM’s with a sprinkling of east Europeans. I sit in many meetings and the number of white American-born males is 10% or less and mostly over the age of 50 and regularly offered early retirement. When there are no American-born white males left in the company will they become URM’s? I don’t think the Asians that run the company at that point will think it advisable.
There seems to be a kind of Gene Paradox at work, at least among whites.
We tend to think we will have more diversity if we mix races together. But when we look at much of Latin America, the various races seem to be mixing into a kind of generic genetic mean that looks like Hugo Chavez who looks like a mix of white, black, and indio.
In contrast, look at Europe. Oddly enough, it was white mating with white that led to all these diversities in eye color and hair color. Why did such profusion of genetic diversity happen among whites?
Asians all have black hair.
Blacks have black frizzy hair.
And all seem to have black or brown eyes.
But among whites, you see a wider range of hair color, eye color, and even facial types. And this diversity was the product of whites mating with whites.
And there is most variety, oddly enough, in Nordic nations where blood is most ‘pure’.
Nordics range from blonde to black hair. Their eyes come in all colors.
It reminds me of the fox experiment.
Video Link
The scientist found foxes that were more alike with one another and bred them. He mated tame foxes with tame foxes within the same species. Since he mated foxes with similar temperament together, you’d think the fox litter would be even more alike and homogeneous.
But selecting for tameness led to an explosion of different hair colors and variety of traits.
So, mating alike with alike actuallly led to more differences and diversity.
This is why race-mixing will destroy the true diversity of Europe. If Europeans mate with blacks and Muslims, everyone will just look like the swarthers of North Africa.
European diversity in appearance in facial types, eye color, and hair color is the product of whites mating with whites. All such diversity will be lost if Europeans mate with Muslims and blacks and end up looking like Moroccans.
If Europeans love mixed-races, they should just leave their own nations and resettle in Egypt or Morocco.
Craig, your situation is about as in-your-face brutal as I’ve heard. My local state university hires “visa profs” and does the URM boogie-woogie, but heads of search committees still bother to mumble something about unique qualifications, or deference to outside pressure, etc.
What’s astounding to me is those same standard-issue White American-born males will have the knife twisted in them. One candidate for a professional position at that same university had worked out of his field for years, and was rejected supposedly because he couldn’t offer a “good” explanation for that. He feared that if he told the interviewers his line of work had been “feminized” by employers gaming affirmative action, he’d definitely be turned down. So he said he’d received poor offers, and was turned down. There may have been other factors at work, but the story sounded plausible to me.
Didn’t know that, or had forgotten, so thanks.
Doesn’t stop him (Sharpton) having been a baby-elephant-shaped fool for so long, he probably had to have one of those procedures to clip parts of his digestive system shut to get to his current hippopotamus shape.
For sure, some of Al Green’s material is sublime. Actually don’t like holy-roller type religion, but a service led by Rev. Al Green would have to have been pretty great, maybe still.
Even better, the sector of extreme Judaism where the women have to shave their heads and wear wigs.
I am sure that the initial scenes of Natural Born Killers include a reference to that custom, along with those to other famous sit-coms, the mother is in bed without her wig when her putative daughter comes along to do her in.
Seriously, the opening of that movie mashes up everything from Al Bundy to Archie Bunker (as Jewish), to the Addams Family or the Munsters together (the appearance of the younger brother), many that I am sure, as a non-TV-addict and non-U.S., I suppose I didn’t pick up. Actually, I think I did pick up most.
A very interesting ten-minute or so intro, sure, not recommended for under eighteens, but fascinating to interpret.
A guy who worked at the World Bank told me in the early 90s that I, as a white male American, would be wasting my time applying there.
And yet neocons have no trouble getting important jobs at the UN and World Bank. Some white male Americans are evidently less white male American than others.
Both have Ph.D.s.
The real reason Nick Christakis drew the harpies’ ire is that he wouldn’t hand his lovely, intelligent, accomplished white wife over to the ugly bantu mob when they demanded he denounce her over her (ridiculously mild and proggy/PC) memo regarding Halloween costumes.
Then he went and invited them into the living room of his AND HER home, “in which numerous black women upbraided him for being inattentive to them.” To which he replied that they “broke his heart” and apologised profusely. As though he, and by extension his wife, had done something wrong.
It was classic Miffed Mistress or Hareem behavior. And he totally blew it.
But that’s how they think. Being admitted to Yale means that they are entitled to demand anything of any white man there.
What’s behind that, of course, is knowing how low they fall in the mating assortation. I suppose that soon our SJW overlords will take care of that by instituting a national mating lottery/draft, in which they, like Rev. Moon, will pick whites’ mates for them.
Here, read this and barf at the spectacle of a white man refusing to stand up to a mob to protect his wife, and degrading everything sacred in the process.

The Sanders campaign holds the last vestiges of an old liberalism that has been completely swallowed up by ethnic politics on the left. It is where it gets its vigor. Kind of a last gasp where hippies, feminists, and white anti-establishment types rebel against the bad-whites and dream of a Scandinavian utopia. Even the real Scandinavia is not looking so good any more. The ethnics have much more immediate concerns then bike paths. Dey gots to have dair bread now, baby. Hillary is the wave of the future.
I have made the observation myself that is is completely dysgenic to them. Mild discrimination acts like a certificate authenticity. It might harm individual white men but the strong will thrive in this environment. Take your pick from history. European Jews , Janissaries , or Jackie Robinson. With no privilege they became the power itself.
I’m old enough to remember white male privilege. Growing up in the 50’s women were second class citizens and blacks third class. I trained the first female worker on the sort at the UPS center where I worked. I trained the first female turret lathe operator at the factory where I worked. These were jobs that women are perfectly able to do. Both were union jobs and the women were paid exactly the same as the men. Working class black, white, male and female coexist quite well in the work place in my experience. I don’t know what its like in the office. I don’t know what its like in the board room. I never went to college. It’s like a foreign country to me. So I can’t get very excited about the ridiculous stuff that is happening on campus. It seems to me that too many people pay too much money to go to college. If the lunatics are in charge of the asylum maybe fewer people will waste the time and money to attend. Student loans have driven up tuition and the student population. When they stop handing out loans like jelly beans maybe sanity will return to higher education.
As for the BLM’s on campus, they should stay in school as long as possible. Out here in the working world they ain’t shit.
Implies there ever was such a place. I submit that this kind of equality (like most) is a mythical beast. Relationships are never equal or symmetrical. One person is always above the next in one way or another. My favorite analogy is when a taller person goes from sitting to standing, next to a shorter person; “equality” is the brief fraction of a second that their eyes are level.
Someone’s always in charge.
Equality’s a nice notion, and useful in some ways. But it’s really just a notion; a social construct.
You know, it kinda makes sense that the left goes ape and swarms any hint of nascent white identity, institutions in particular.
Because it wouldn’t take much at all for white men to take their ball and go home. Set up their own institutions, and watch the “official” ones shrivel away and die. White women would come running, of course.
The left seems to know this.
‘Course Jews would come running too, starting the whole process over again. “Fatal Embrace,” indeed.
Mr. Svigor:
I like your
My best regards, I.f.f.U.
Did women and blacks receive disparate impact treatment during the 1950s? There were women’s only colleges in the 1950s but mens only groups have been met with bomb threats such as the voice for men groups. Private employers we’re not legally prohibited from using intelligence testing.
Working class white blacks and whites work great in the workplace until an accusation of racism and the physical threat of violence comes along. Any working class white male will be denied freedom of association and diagnosed with aspergers syndrome for questioning the scenario.
When the original civil rights act was passed it wasn’t supposed to contain quotas. Then they demanded quotas. White men were not threatened on college campuses for the existence of standardized tests.
People stay in school for a lot longer because of antidiscrimination lawsuits not because they are learning anything. Black lives matter students should be kicked off college campuses if they cannot do college level work. Baby boomer liberals need to stop overlooking political intimidation tactics on campuses.
Not in my experience. I can only speak for myself.
Disparate impact treatment? Those are legal terms. I have no idea. I googled “what couldn’t women do in the fifties” and got this little slide show.
http://offbeat.topix.com/slideshow/15483/slide16
As for blacks. You may have heard about segregation and Jim Crow.
White women haven’t been reproducing at replacement level for several generations. If women did everything that men did then the human race would die out. Since the 1970s technological advancement has stagnated a point well documented by even liberal commentators. Diversity erodes social trust a point well made by Robert Putnam. Your political projects have failed.
Affirmative action is the same as Jim crow sir. Civil rights leaders are more afraid of standardized tests than racism. If the only thing that the employer was interested in was your race then they would test your blood not your iq. I am inventing a new test service, it is called please don’t threaten us. It is a multiple choice test and tests the users knowledge of arithmetic, grammar, logic. If you fail the test it proves that you are stupid not that everybody else is racist and sexist.
There were historically black colleges in the 1950s why not allow white men to create their own organization now? Either people are equal before the law or they are not. An elastic definition of racism now means that standardized tests are racist. Being equal before the law does not guarantee anyone any particular rate of pay, wages, or compensation sir. I am all for equality sir, how about equality of responsibility? How many bad loans should be issued to historically disadvantaged groups? How many loans should a recent immigrants be able to take out without a credit check or being able to assess whether or not someone is capable of doing college level work? In the 1950s there was discrimination but the universities for the most part didn’t receive federal funding. Was it outrageous that a private group of people formed an organization that didn’t receive government monies but didn’t admit people it didn’t like? Should the local mosque be required to admit homosexuals or is your outrageous selective? Should whites be forced to put up with Jesse Jackson? Should violent criminals become a new protected class? Should we continue to fail to notice the connection between violent crime and illegitimacy? Is there any way for a white man to prove that he is not racist? Is raping someone ok if you thought that person was racist? The things that you don’t know are mind boggling
Despite all of our so called progress women are not responsible for entering into contracts such as the marriage contract or student debt. I am all for women’s rights but I am in favor of women’s responsibilities as well something that betty friedan was opposed to and publicly admitted as much. 80 percent of criminals come from single parent households and yet many on the left celebrate policies that reward family breakup. Of course we should continue to blind ourself to the connection between culture and crime because that would be racist and sexist. And nothing matters except not being racist or sexist. Even in the UK where white children were raped and the authorities overlooked that because even investigating the issue could lead to racism. The only thing that matters is not being racist or sexist. Even whites whose ancestors had nothing to slavery are guilty sir.
Those different times sir. It’s not ok to threaten people if you think that the other person is racist seeing as though it’s impossible to prove that you are not racist. You are not a good person for going along with this.
If black lives matter is lousy in the workplace maybe they are lousy in the schools as well. Of course you are unwilling to allow force to be used against such people even under the threat of violence because that would be racist.
But you weren’t speaking for yourself though. You said working class whites.
At one time private property, liberty of contract and freedom of association were upheld as sacrosanct principles. It is not as simple as saying that women and minorities were denied a position on the other end someone has to offer it. The legal principals are known as consent and consideration which is really what the civil rights movement is against.
We’ve really been moving in the opposite direction to sanity when it comes to disciplining unruly blacks. As any parent knows, letting a kid have their way when they’re acting up is just asking for more trouble in the future. We can see where it leads- black students coming into a college library and harassing white and Asian students this way who haven’t done a damn thing and are just trying to study for their classes. Even more ridiculous is the response from the University which just guarantees it will happen even more.
Haven’t broken any rules or standards of conduct- nonsense. Universities are a sea of ‘standards of conduct’ over the slightest microaggression these days, and no doubt there are numerous rules being broken here. How about the fact that it was one race targeting another? Certainly if an even-handed application of the rules were being applied, that should fall under the scarlet R of racism which these days can practically get you burned at the stake, at least if you’re white.
You ask about what they can do. Well, one thing that can be done which definitely does get heard, would be if the parents of the student body wrote complaints in to the University. When a lot of parents complain, Universities do listen to that.
Of course, even with the blatant black privilege in discipline these days, these sorts of black temper tantrums on college campuses would not be even a fraction of the problem they are today if the admissions and financial aid were even-handed. How many of those black students protesting how “unfairly” they are being treated would even be there if they had to jump through the same hoops as the white and Asian kids at Dartmouth?
Gotta say though, at least its good that liberal institutions are finally having to deal with some chickens coming home to roost. And nothing helps to better combat the brainwashing of the University mantra on race than seeing race-reality up close and personal.
And why were blacks treated as third class citizens? These opinions don’t just spontaneously arise in the minds of others, with evil white men twirling their mustaches thinking about how they can discriminate against the next cherubic minority applicant they meet.
Were women being shuffled into prisons at greater rates then men? Are white men being selectively chosen for 6 figure jobs playing in the NBA at higher rates than black men? The common behaviors and general abilities minorities have demonstrated are what have led to the views about them. Do stereotypes apply to all individuals of a given type? No, but they are often very accurate when talking about groups or average members of a group, and thus are useful for policy decisions about groups or making quick decisions when you need to. It would be utterly foolish to ignore your gut about whether you should be more wary about a 19yr old black male than a 30 yr old white woman walking towards you at night.
It was explained to me, years ago, when I encountered “White Males Need Not Apply” that this wasn’t discrimination. Institutions were simply righting the wrongs of the past. I’d read 1984, was familiar with Newspeak and could understand the principle.
Amherst College abolished fraternities whereupon a number of fraternity men protested. The protest was led by male fraternity brothers of color and supported by many of the women students, including some women students of color. The fraternities had a spotless record, engaged in voluntary service activities of a socially approved nature and even offered an escort service to women students returning to their dwellings late at night lest a lusty male be lying in wait to molest them. So the administration was somewhat embarrassed by the abolition and had to come up with ways to defend it. Fortunately, a false rape allegation came to the aid of the administration and shifted the focus.
Academic administrators and faculty are, by and large, careerists. They have to keep a steady finger to the wind and play their hands accordingly. Many who defend outrageous behavior would just as soon condemn it and will do so if and when the times change. Individual variants aside, academia follows the cultural trends; it doesn’t set them.
Just allow private employers to use whatever testing methods to assess employer competency method that they prefer. Repeat this phrase and shout it from the rooftops: civil rights leaders are more afraid of standardized testing than racism. If the only thing that an employer was interested in was race he would test your blood not your iq.
“The elites are white people…”
Wrong tribe
Blacks were never prevented from forming their own organizations during the height of Jim crow. The highlight of desegregation is a black man hitting a ball around the field 50 years ago. I have yet to see a major organization competitive on the world market designed and financed by blacks.
Myth.
Jews punch well above their weight here but are in the minority.
The civil rights organizations celebrate the legal prohibition of intelligence testing and you celebrate it as eugenic? Do you really listen to what you are saying? I have an iq of 130 and may apply for disability under aspergers diagnosis. I have a tough time relating to people of lower iq, I am not being arrogant in saying so. My brain and metabolism function in a different way than some people. I am not sick, society says that I cannot have freedom of association. I don’t know why you feel that it is ok to do this to us. The educational system seems to be set up as an expensive babysitting service for illegitimate minority students.
The bottom line is that the government needs to throw out the doctrine of disparate impact. No fault divorce abolished. Silver legalized as tender. The banks must become recapitalized. Those who are unable to discipline students in public schools must be removed from their posts. Students should begin apprenticeship programs at 14. Student assistance should be abolished after age 17. Social security must be renegotiated. Cryptocurrency and financial technology education should be promoted including ethereum. Hemp and cannabis legalized. Prostitution decriminalized. Khat legalized. Fairtax promoted. Arrest and execution of those convicted of using campus intimidation as a form of political patronage as well and seizure of all their assets. How is that? And the dole must be restored as well.
There’s a lot said about discrimination in admissions against Asians being worse than against whites, but truth be told, Asians are also cheating a heck of a lot more than whites (at least per capita), in high school, in taking SATs, in admissions applications, and while in college. Given that, they are likely getting admitted at a rate that is probably closer to their true performance.
Competency based education platforms are being developed out of Purdue university to help cope with this problem. Civil rights leaders alleging racial discrimination must point to an objective third party test that they would agree to or their suits dismissed and subjected to huge enforceable fines. Intelligence testing must be allowed by private organization. All student groups must be banned for the time being. The health risk of homosexuality must be openly discussed. The business defense in disparate impact lawsuits is the purpose of business is to produce a profit not promote racial equality or right the wrongs of the past. The supreme court needs to stop evading the issue of whether or not the doctrine of disparate impact is in violation of the Seth amendment.
There were women’s only colleges in the 1950s. Feminists alleging that we have a rape culture need to explain how a man can legally obtain consent or they must be removed from their posts and denied authority.
Sloppy Jewish scholarship must be condemned in the humanities departments is one of the reason the country is in such a mess. Deliberate obfuscation of Herbert Spencer and attempting to connect his defense of private property, liberty of contract and freedom of association to the Nazis is almost legendary. Herbert Spencer never said it was ok to gas the jews or anything along those lines. This deliberate obfuscation is the reason we have to put up with overcredentialied mouthy Jewish women. The jews used to be at the forefront of building civilization, where are those Jews? I enjoy reading husserl and Einstein now we have to deal with Jill filipovic. Intellectuals who advance negative interest rates as some sort of political salvation must be removed from their posts.
“Of course you are unwilling to allow force to be used against such people even under the threat of violence because that would be racist.”
You say you have an IQ of 130. I guess you think you are also clairvoyant. I never said that. I never thought that.
What is it that you think you know about me that makes you want to pick a fight? Based on what I said please and not the voices in your head.
Letter to a Birmingham jail, dear civil rights leaders we have dreams as well. The right to safety, the right to privacy, the right to profitability, the right to coherent public policy objectives not to mention, the right to privacy have all but disappeared under your dream. That is not something that we agreed to as a decent white male don’t really want to play this game anymore. Those caught using racial statistical information to gerrymander voting districts must be tried for treason and executed. Police management overlooking aforemention must lose their positions and pensions.
You seem unwilling to overlook historical realities about what those political women and minorities protected class gramscian historical victim classes has to endure.
Thank you for this civil reply. I had to look up “gramscian”. I really am working class (uneducated). Before I investigate further perhaps you will expand on what is, with new found respect, a rather impossible sentence. I gather that you would have me overlook certain historical realities. These realities that I should overlook pertain to something that women and minorities have had to endure? Also I could understand you better if I knew are you a Marxist or are you not. And further what is your opinion of Gramsci. And if you will, please give me an example of a historical reality that I seem unwilling to overlook.
Your defense of the present regime in its perpetual quest for laugh at the historical 1950s white male patriarch. White men in America ruled because they won the war. The civil rights act was partially a college prank it was never intended to internicene warfare. Yes jim crow was wrong, but so is having the government dictate every conceivable social relation. You overlook so much.
I had an aging black woman get very loud and serious with me at a previous job that I needed to marry, I think some black leaders honestly do think that’s on rap next. If I am forced to marry a black woman there is going to be problems.
And with great discrimination they would simply die off. What is your criteria for mild versus great discrimination in exhaustive detail? Did the government road out standardized test results to order to achieve racial balance against the jews for example?
The culture war wasn’t just right vs left.
It was also a war within Liberalism.
In a way, Los Angeles seems to have won the Culture War due to the gradual demise of High Culture in America. In media and academia, there is far more attention paid to Pop Culture discourse. NY and other such cities still have obligatory book readings at book stores and film festivals, but the cultural center of attention is about the Blockbuster movies, and much of Contemporary Art is Warholism-to-the-infinite-power. It’s all about hype, marketing, auctioning, and investing. There is Pop Culture and Pop Art. Serious art and ideas still exist but are shunted to the side.
Up to the 1970s, the cultural establishment still clung to emphasizing serious intellectual figures of arts and letters as the standard bearers of Real Culture against the philistines and popularizers. When Allen mocked L.A. in ANNIE HALL, many NY sophisticates laughed along in ridicule and agreement. But that scene wouldn’t work today since the sensibility of New York and Harvard is hardly different from Hollywood excess and San Francisco homo flamboyance.

While homos had long been prominent in the New York arts & culture scene, their preferred mode had been sublimation. Susan Sontag didn’t always live in NY but she thought like a New York intellectual and kept her lesbianism in the closet even after people found out about it. She thought she had more important things to think about, and making a big fuss about her sexual life seemed irrelevant and pointless.
In contrast, there developed a crass and vulgar shameless style in the West Coast cities, and that mind-set, which morphed into Puritanical Shamelessness in demanding that all of us agree that homo shamelessness is the new ‘pride’, seems to now prevail in NY and Ivy League schools as well in that they enforce homomania on everyone; they are neo-puritanically heteronormophobic. Also, NY intellectuals and other such serious folks used to be anti-kitsch. They saw kitsch as the vulgar tool of the powers-that-be in politics and industry that seek to manipulate people with pseudo-ideas[presented as trite slogans], mushiness, collective sentimentality, and etc. They thought the human intellect should be critically sharpened against such mass-manipulation whether by capitalists or communists.
But there is no longer any Resistance against Kitsch. If anything, Jews and homo elites now find kitsch very useful, no less than Stalin and Hitler did in their time. Homo ‘pride’ parades are pure kitsch with those Teletubby ‘rainbow’ colors. Obama as new messiah and Oprah as billionaire mammy are pure kitsch. Ellen Degeneris the degenerate as New Normal is kitsch. Indeed, the very idea of New Normal is kitsch that smothers real thinking. People have been won over to ‘gay marriage’ due to mass manipulation of soapy hopey-dopey emotions and razzle-dazzle delirium & hyperbolics. It’s Bread & Circus sold as Buns and Funs.
Political Correctness rests on kitsch, just like the Cultural Revolution in China in the 60s. There used to be sharp-edged intellectuals who disdained George Lucas’ descent into kitsch as STAR WARS got dumber and dumber. But the New STAR WARS by J.J. Abrams, which is kitschier than ever, has been hailed by most critics because it conforms to PC kitsch of ‘diversity’, which is also pure kitsch that doesn’t pass the intellectual-factual test. Slogans such as ‘diversity is our strength’ work according to kitsch logic which is no logic at all. It’s all about feely-good emotions. Even maverick individualism has been kitschized through normalization via celebrity culture of TATTOOING. What had once been deviant has been made part of the Cult of the Cool.
9/11 didn’t kill irony as Roger Rosenblatt said. What killed it was Jewish and Homo Power that now rests on hoodwinking and manipulating the mass emotions of the dumbed down population.

Let me tell you a little secret. The Latinos are more tribal and will not put up with black dysfunction. Neither will the Asians. The coming demographic implosion of white liberals will unleash another cultural upheaval. The Indian gas store owner said to me that we hear an awful lot about unarmed black men being shot but not enough about armed black men and the problem is that certain groups don’t believe in family. My Chinese landlord said that she could not understand why whites out up with it and that blacks are like a locust plague. Latinos ethnically cleansed parts of los angeles and will not put up with black dysfunction. The arrogant jews think that everyone will hate whites just because they say so and believe me thats not the case. Most immigrants don’t like homo culture and a lot of them are not fond of jews. Latino gangs will admit whites but not blacks. I don’t know what the future holds but everything is up in the air.
Plenty of nonwhites don’t like Islam either. Hindus, sikhs, and other groups don’t like Islamic peoples. Nothing lasts forever.
I was recommended this blog through my cousin. I am now not certain whether this post is written by means of him as no one else realize such distinct about
my problem. You’re incredible! Thank you!
In my youth in a 65% black city, this was very common. The few remaining (stuck) white families’ kids were pressured constantly to race-mix and stay rather than grappling to get our families out of there. The pressure didn’t just come from the blacks–and I saw many examples of what you note. The Quakers and Jews did way more than their share of propagandizing.
One of my keenest memories involves being called a racist and a Nazi for refusing to double date with a fat loud homely Jewish lady of about 35 and her black husband a good decade her junior. She tried to pair me up with someone I didn’t even want to be in the same county with. I tried saying no with some measure of delicacy, but it was lost on her. When I got tired of interacting on the topic and said bluntly, “Stop pressuring me. I have no interest in dating blacks,” the big guns came out.
I should note that said Jewish lady married a black man who had last stage kidney disease. In other words, she got all the virtue-merit of race-mixing…along with the surety that he would not last more than about five years or leave her pregnant. He died in three. She used his sacred memory like a bullwhip on everyone about her.
He seemed a decent enough man. Didn’t come on to white women, was quite respectful to everyone. Church-going. Not very bright, but did the best with what he inherited. I got the sense that after about a year of marriage he realized he’d been used, but by then it was just a struggle for him to get from day to day. Kidney dialysis was far more primitive then (1970s) than today. I was only 19 but learned a lot from that about how some people exploit blacks while calling others racist.
You note in another comment that you have a hard time relating to people of lower IQs.
Allow me to suggest that any government or social policies you favor are likely not to function well with a population where at least 98% reside under 130 IQ.
I know that very well but the law wasn’t always written for the least capable as it is now. Maybe I am wrong. I think the education of talented young men is a disgrace but the horrible feminists won’t let anyone do anything about it. What is disturbing to me is how the universities have been destroyed by these movements. Yale and Harvard are willing to stake their credibility on these movements. What is the future of intellectual life if elite whites are not safe from nonsense in an ivy library?
There’s no racism like black racism.
