Sadly, No!

Ta Nehisi Coates’ new book “Between the World and Me” has just been released. It is an intensely personal look at the hazards of growing up black in the USA. I haven’t read the book myself, (Once the public library gets it, I will check it out) however I am moderately familiar with Ta Nehisi Coates’ work, especially his very important article last year in the Atlantic last year “The Case for Reparations” if you missed it, read it now http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/05/the-case-for-reparations/361631/ and if you only have a limited amount of time today, read that instead of the rest of this blog entry. But, now that you’ve read it, you know that Mr Coates’ work is personal, very well researched, and very well supported by actual history. So when I read David Brooks talk about Mr Coates’ work I get a stabbing pain behind my eyes.

Because David Brooks… …is a pundit. He’s a goooooooood pundit. He wrote this in the New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/17/opinion/listening-to-ta-nehisi-coates-while-white.html?_r=0 The Grey Lady. The first draft of history. The newspaper of record. The ol’ fishwrap. The canary cage liner. The toilet paper of last resort. Don’t they have a single editor there who doesn’t show up to work already drunk? Isn’t there someone there who could take a red pen to David Brooks? Or worse yet, what if they already did? What if they trimmed out the worst and quotes like the one below made the cut?

I think you distort American history. This country, like each person in it, is a mixture of glory and shame. There’s a Lincoln for every Jefferson Davis and a Harlem Children’s Zone for every K.K.K. — and usually vastly more than one. Violence is embedded in America, but it is not close to the totality of America.

Just what is he trying to say? That Lincoln freeing the slaves makes up for the fact that African Americans were enslaved in the first place? What kind of Stockholm syndrome bullshit is that? You know what’s better than being rescued from slavery? Not being enslaved in the first place. You know what makes up for slavery? Tell me. I’m all ears. Because I suspect it’s “not a goddamn thing”.

“And a Harlem Children’s Zone for every KKK”? What kind of insulting horseshit is this? Does the Harlem Children’s Zone have a time machine and a resurrect-o-tron and go on merry adventures throughout history and unlynching black people and unburning their houses, farms and businesses? Cause if they don’t, it may just be that this is a candidate for most mendacious false equivalence of the year.

Look, I get it. David Brooks has no idea how to solve a problem. I was going to say “if the Aspen Ideas Festival or a TED talk can’t fix it” but I realize that’s an unnecessary qualifier. David Brooks is a champion of the kind of thinking that says American ingenuity, American good will and American love of justice can solve any problem. For example:

This dream is a secular faith that has unified people across every known divide. It has unleashed ennobling energies and mobilized heroic social reform movements. By dissolving the dream under the acid of an excessive realism, you trap generations in the past and destroy the guiding star that points to a better future.

And maybe the American dream got David Brooks where he is today. But his version of “the American Dream” is a license, even a mandate, to forget and ignore the injustices that continue to kill and impoverish people today. Ask a Native American what they think of manifest destiny. Ask a an undocumented immigrant working in a slaughterhouse for less than minimum wage for 12+ hours a day what they think of American capitalism. Ask an African American in New York City what they think of “Stop and Frisk” or the “war on drugs”. Because Ta Nehisi Coates got where he is, by fighting the American Dream every step of the way.

It’s been a busy year for me, but I am going to make an effort to post more often. It’s not like the usual gang of idiots has quit shooting their mouth off in ignorant and offensive ways. So lets turn our eyes dear reader to one of this blogs oldest and most reliable sources for getting it wrong and getting well paid for it: Victor Davis Miles Gloriosus Hanson. In his most recent post on his web site (I hate to give him the link or the page views, but for the benefit of those following along at home: http://victorhanson.com/wordpress/?p=8524#more-8524 )he asks, “Is the world becoming fed up?” I’m glad he asked. He asks if Europe is fed up with immigration. He asks if Europe is tired of socialism. He asks if Trump is really so outrageous? He asks if Americans are fed up with the alleged hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton. Victor is truly mailing this one in.

And so, let’s ask ourselves, is the world becoming fed up? You bet your ass. But it’s a curious kind of world for Professor Doctor Hanson, who after breezily mentioning European socialism and immigration, spends the rest of his time talking up Donald Trump, scaremongering about murders committed by undocumented Mexican immigrants, and criticizing Hillary Clinton and President Obama. Why you’d almost think that Victor Davis Pyrgopolynices Hanson’s view of the world was the view from his front porch as seen through lenses of nativism and paranoia. Hanson may not agree with me on many things, but he is right that change is coming. He is old enough to recognize that pressure is building, and smart enough to know that America is going to have to make a serious choice as to what kind of nation it wants to be. And like the lifelong toady that he is, he chose the wrong side. He once again has taken as good a look at current events as his biases allow, and has learned they confirm everything he already believed.

For example, immigration. Ever since the US conquered and stole the entire American southwest from Mexico, and finished the subjugation and displacement of the Native Americans to it’s most desolate corners, Mexicans and Americans have been crossing the border, in both directions seeking jobs, freedom from oppression, and a place to call home. Official US policy has brought guest workers from Mexico to California to work in the fields for decades, only to bus or fly them back when the crops were harvested. It’s possible Hanson’s own family farm has taken part in this program. And even the Hanson family didn’t participate, I would put down money that many of his neighbors have. Hanson doesn’t seem to care where the poor, the homeless, and the starving masses of the 21st century go, as long as they don’t come to the US or Europe. It’s funny how when famine, war, plague or economic depression strikes the far off corners of the world how quick people like Hanson are to say that the inhabitants should leave their backward, war torn, homes and go somewhere less prone to the depredations of the four horsemen. And when the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free queue up at the golden door, people like VDH gleefully slam it in their face. Because to VDH nothing is more important to civilization than law. Hanson thinks that undocumented immigrants are this country’s greatest threat. I’m not mind reading, I’m not putting words in his mouth. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/8/victor-davis-hanson-hillary-clintons-disregard-of-/? his opening paragraph is particularly rich

Barbarians at the gate usually don’t bring down once-successful civilizations. Nor does climate change. Even mass epidemics like the plague that decimated sixth-century Byzantium do not necessarily destroy a culture.

Because for an alleged historian, he manages to cram a heaping helping of wrong into those three sentences. I’d like to hear what the Romans, the Carthaginians, the Israelites, the Celts, the peoples of India, the pre-Belgian people of the Congo, and a list of other civilizations very nearly too long to mention have to say about invasions of barbarians not being a serious threat. Likewise, plague can and has been the final blow to multiple civilizations of which a Professor of history ought to be aware, for example the Aztecs, and nearly every other Native American nation that was thriving in 1491. Climate change too has put paid to more than a few civilizations. For example, Assyria, Babylon, and every other ancient civilization of the fertile crescent. Right goddamn now, Syria is a current country imploding under climate change as displaced farmers revolted under the Assad regime’s refusal to provide relief in the midst of the longest drought in recorded history in that area. And in that area recorded history goes back more than 2000 years. So he’s repudiating the evidence of basically all of recorded history so he can fear monger about people from Mexico and further south coming here to not starve to death? He spends breathless paragraph after breathless paragraph excoriating immigrants, the Greeks, the IRS and prominent Democrats for breaking laws, for creating a ‘culture of lawlessness’ that threatens to end the USA forever. He fails. He fails to show that there is any kind of causal connection between ‘lawless’ behavior and civilizational collapse. He cherry picks and as far as I can tell, invents, perfidious acts by Democrats, and fails to say how they are worse than the totally unmentioned crimes of republicans. Like for example wasting a few trillion dollars on a war justified by intelligence whose kindest description is “wildly exaggerated” and whose actual description would be more like “utterly fabricated bullshit made to order by the direct command of the president and vice president”. Or even if we give the previous administration the biggest mulligan in history, and sweep the death of thousands of Americans and a few hundred thousand (or just over a million, sources differ) Iraqi deaths under the carpet, we could point at things like Wall Street and the biggest banks in the world running a pump and dump scheme with sub prime mortgages, bundled in to worthless securities, and sold to unsuspecting customers and insured with credit default swaps that meant giant windfalls even as banks collapsed. Now I’m just a simple private citizen with no greater understanding of the complexities of finance than I do of rocket science, but I can’t see how that is anything but deliberate, massive, systemic, premeditated fraud and plunder on a historically unprecedented scale. And so when VDH complains about lawlessness, it rings kind of hollow to me. It almost seems like he’s trying to distract people by suggesting and implying that lawlessness comes from and is only perpetrated by people to his political left, and that his own chosen team is pure as the driven snow, because otherwise a person as wise, as informed and as fair minded as he imagines himself to be would clearly have mentioned any faults they may be even suspected of possessing. I mean give him this, he’s no David Broder writing column after column of false equivalence, so he has that crumb of ‘integrity’ he can claim.

But you’d think a guy whose entire life has been devoted to reading the classics would have more than a passing familiarity with the concept of ‘hubris’ and maybe, just maybe be able to recognize it, even when the people most deluded by it are his closest ideological allies. Or maybe, he’s just bored with the idea of peace and prosperity. Maybe government that isn’t crushing dissent at home and conquering enemies abroad, seems like laziness to a man whose dearest wish seems to be recreating Sparta in the supposed land of the free. Sparta, where there were ten slaves to every citizen, where every healthy male citizen was drafted into the army at around 10, and had to spend 2 years living off the land as a bandit preying on slaves and the defenseless, before taking his place in the phalanx fr then next thirty years or so. Sparta, where they didn’t do abortion, because infanticide worked better for them. Well, to give Sparta it’s due, there’s almost no way they’d willingly suffer under lectures from VDH. If they didn’t toss him down a well shortly after birth, they certainly wouldn’t have listened to the tedious drone of a slave lecturing his ‘betters’. Because in ancient Sparta, he and everyone he knows would have been dead or enslaved. That’s what 10 slaves for every citizen means.

I’m certainly puzzled by his antipathy toward Mexican immigrants. There’s nothing more traditional in California than Mexican immigration. You’d think he’d want his family’s crops harvested.

As a person with a very competitive nature when it comes to athletic competition, and one for whom it took some time to become a graceful loser, watching that goal at that time broke my heart.

And while I was rooting for England in this particular match, I would have felt the same way if the result had been reversed. No one in that stadium could have felt worse than Laura Bassett. Watching her reaction brought tears to my eyes. Seeing it again this morning brought more.

I have an abundant well of empathy, which is why I am not a conservative, and as an athlete, the cruelty of that ending left me a bit hollow. But such are the vicissitudes of life.

I was thinking that I should do something in support of a young woman I would like to hug, to tell her that everything is OK, that she is loved, respected, and that we all make mistakes. Because nobody with a passionate and competitive nature would ever want to walk in those shoes.

And then I remembered that I had the keys to a blog.

While I doubt that this will ever catch her eye, I want it to be known, that had I the extra scratch to get one, I would proudly wear her number on a jersey with her name on the back of it. And I haven’t done that since I was a preteen.

By all accounts she is a wonderful teammate and gritty competitor and excellent defender, without whom England might very well not made it to that point in space and time, the intersection of which, good people would not like to place their enemies.

And contrary to this articles main point. I would most certainly feel the same sympathy for any male own goaling during such a point, in such a game, and on such a stage.

I know from own goals, my life seems to be riddled with them. I test limits, push the edge, attempt to find the breaking point, and often find myself on the wrong end of it. Yet I am still on the proper side of the ground, trying to keep moving forward. I also know that when they occur, there is no one in the world (however small it might be at the time) that is more upset than me. Letting others down in any situation is tough, letting others down when you have a reputation of doing the opposite, is even harder, that is, if you have a soul.

Something tells me that this one is not gonna let last night keep her down.

Before I descend into the fevered swamps of asshattery looking for examples of magnificent examples of how the recent spate of church burnings have nothing to do with racism or terror, and everything to do with faulty electrical installation, or lightning, I figure a little sugar with the medicine is in order.

Via Gawker.

Fucking awesome!!! And on a similar note, I hope Cerberus killed it during the pride sporting competitions.

Before we get to the gristle let us view in awe and respect the opening to something in “the Hill” written by one cat with the surname Budowsky discovered on the frontpage of memeorandom:

Nothing better dramatizes the damage that President Obama has done to Democrats than the fact that Republicans now control the House of Representatives, the Senate and a majority of governorships across America.

Yeah he did that. Reminding myself that he probably got paid for it will only further to ruin my day.

Anyway, on to random sparks hitting African American Churches built out of the bark of the birch tree and the tar of pine.

Three of the attacks in Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Ohio have been confirmed to be arson, while the other three are under investigation, though the Southern Poverty Law Center believes this many church fires so close to one another “may not be a coincidence.”

One might be inclined to agree, if that one might be me…

On Monday, the College Hills Seventh Day Adventist Church in Knoxville was burned down when, according to church sources, someone stacked bales of hay against the door and then lit them.

On Tuesday, the God’s Power Church of Christ in Macon, Georgia, was hit by fire, and while authorities say it has the usual indicators of arson, they are still investigating.

On Wednesday, the Briar Creek Road Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, was hit by fire that authorities are sure was arson but have not yet released their evidence to show it.

On Wednesday, the Fruitland Presbyterian Church in Gibson County, Tennessee, also caught fire, and investigators have not yet ruled out arson.

On Friday, the Glover Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Warrenville, South Carolina, caught fire, and authorities have not yet announced whether or not it was arson.

On Saturday, the College Heights Baptist Church in Elyria, Ohio, caught fire, and authorities are still investigating the cause.

There was a seventh church fire, the Greater Miracle Temple in Tallahassee, Florida, but it is likely the fire was caused by a tree falling on power lines.

Speculators might conclude that a race war has indeed been started by that whitepower gunslinger who shot nine to death in Charleston. They would be wrong, as the recent events are simply the extension of a race war that has been transpiring in this country since 1609, when the first Africans arrived on these hallowed shores of a land not yet called America.

Parts the First, and part the Second.

This will be the final installment of a parsing of the “manifesto” attributed to McBowlcut IGottaKillyPants, or Shooty McCornpone (your choice). When last we met, our protagonist was railing against white-flight and suburban whites to fearful of the problem of the NigNig to deal with it in a proper fashion, i.e. killing them, or putting them in irons.

Some people feel as though the South is beyond saving, that we have too many blacks here. To this I say look at history. The South had a higher ratio of blacks when we were holding them as slaves. Look at South Africa, and how such a small minority held the black in apartheid for years and years. Speaking of South Africa, if anyone thinks that think will eventually just change for the better, consider how in South Africa they have affirmative action for the black population that makes up 80 percent of the population.

In his ideal world whites are a minority and need to have a population of others to subjugate.

It is far from being too late for America or Europe. I believe that even if we made up only 30 percent of the population we could take it back completely. But by no means should we wait any longer to take drastic action.

If only there was a gunshow that sold Nigtron. It is not too late, to hope.

Anyone who thinks that White and black people look as different as we do on the outside, but are somehow magically the same on the inside, is delusional. How could our faces, skin, hair, and body structure all be different, but our brains be exactly the same? This is the nonsense we are led to believe.

Chuckles Murray and Richard J. Herrnstein (may his racist ass rest in piece) the white courtesy phone awaits. Now on to some shit sanctioned DERP.

Negroes have lower Iqs, lower impulse control, and higher testosterone levels in generals. These three things alone are a recipe for violent behavior. If a scientist publishes a paper on the differences between the races in Western Europe or Americans, he can expect to lose his job. There are personality traits within human families, and within different breeds of cats or dogs, so why not within the races?

What is it about the Octoplex that seems so appealing to these types? I feel another animule analogy coming…(So I peeked, sue me.)

A horse and a donkey can breed and make a mule, but they are still two completely different animals. Just because we can breed with the other races doesnt make us the same.

Lacking in this biology lesson is the fact that two mules can not produce another mule…not that that would signify any damn thing.

In a modern history class it is always emphasized that, when talking about “bad” things Whites have done in history, they were White. But when we lern about the numerous, almost countless wonderful things Whites have done, it is never pointed out that these people were White. Yet when we learn about anything important done by a black person in history, it is always pointed out repeatedly that they were black. For example when we learn about how George Washington carver was the first nigger smart enough to open a peanut.

Would the world were colorblind, and the default setting were not white heterosexual and male.

There is also a pivot in this as the only African American, specifically referenced yet in this piece has to be referred to as a Nigger.

On another subject I want to say this. Many White people feel as though they dont have a unique culture. The reason for this is that White culture is world culture. I dont mean that our culture is made up of other cultures, I mean that our culture has been adopted by everyone in the world. This makes us feel as though our culture isnt special or unique. Say for example that every business man in the world wore a kimono, that every skyscraper was in the shape of a pagoda, that every door was a sliding one, and that everyone ate every meal with chopsticks. This would probably make a Japanese man feel as though he had no unique traditional culture.

My inner neologist is spinning trying to cough up a word to describe that mess…failing it is so we shall move on.

I have noticed a great disdain for race mixing White women within the White nationalists community, bordering on insanity it. These women are victims, and they can be saved. Stop.

This graph makes a point bordering on revolutionary with its incusitude. Of course he is talking about saving the fertile wombspace for the production of more white folk. Just because a NiggerDick got there first, should not give a white man pause to joust with the ghosts of nigger dicks past. For a white supremacist though, this is a leap. And in these circles this notion borders on genius. Not sure how long this challenge of the dominant paradigm will last when he takes his place among the white power gangs in prison…

Done with the Negroes, we move on to others, starting with, take a guess.

Jews

Unlike many White naitonalists, I am of the opinion that the majority of American and European jews are White. In my opinion the issues with jews is not their blood, but their identity. I think that if we could somehow destroy the jewish identity, then they wouldnt cause much of a problem. The problem is that Jews look White, and in many cases are White, yet they see themselves as minorities. Just like niggers, most jews are always thinking about the fact that they are jewish. The other issue is that they network. If we could somehow turn every jew blue for 24 hours, I think there would be a mass awakening, because people would be able to see plainly what is going on.

I dont pretend to understand why jews do what they do. They are enigma.

This would explain the lack of Nazi sympathies, or the employment of Nazi symbolism in any of the pictures on his website or facebook page. If they are white, he wants to include them, but their mysterious ways elude him. Also wondering how many times he will get his ass beat when he tries this argument on his fellow incarcerated white supremacists.

Who’s next?

Hispanics

Hispanics are obviously a huge problem for Americans. But there are good hispanics and bad hispanics. I remember while watching hispanic television stations, the shows and even the commercials were more White than our own. They have respect for White beauty, and a good portion of hispanics are White. It is a well known fact that White hispanics make up the elite of most hispanics countries. There is good White blood worht saving in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and even Brasil.

But they are still our enemies.

It’s always about the blood. I am beginning to wonder if this asshat might be a Vampire Gourmand.

Next

East Asians

I have great respent for the East Asian races. Even if we were to go extinct they could carry something on. They are by nature very racist and could be great allies of the White race. I am not opposed at all to allies with the Northeast Asian races.

Apparently the Japanese are whiter than me.

Patriotism

I hate the sight of the American flag. Modern American patriotism is an absolute joke. People pretending like they have something to be proud while White people are being murdered daily in the streets. Many veterans believe we owe them something for “protecting our way of life” or “protecting our freedom”. But im not sure what way of life they are talking about. How about we protect the White race and stop fighting for the jews. I will say this though, I myself would have rather lived in 1940′s American than Nazi Germany, and no this is not ignorance speaking, it is just my opinion. So I dont blame the veterans of any wars up until after Vietnam, because at least they had an American to be proud of and fight for.

Murdered daily in the streets, by black people, in every neighborhood in the land. This guy has a line on some good shit. Thankfully this is the penultimate bit

An Explanation

To take a saying from a film, “I see all this stuff going on, and I dont see anyone doing anything about it. And it pisses me off.”. To take a saying from my favorite film, “Even if my life is worth less than a speck of dirt, I want to use it for the good of society.”.

I have no choice. I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.

Unfortunately at the time of writing I am in a great hurry and some of my best thoughts, actually many of them have been to be left out and lost forever. But I believe enough great White minds are out there already.

Please forgive any typos, I didnt have time to check it.

“Outta the door, I got some niggers to kill, and more to abhor.”

/places mike on floor

The first part can be found here.

We ended the last part with the Idea that niggers were niggers whose racial awareness was due in some part to “Jewish agitation.” And begin with the following:

Black people are racially aware almost from birth, but White people on average dont think about race in their daily lives.

Aside from the “almost from birth” bit, one might wonder why African Americans are such racially aware savants. Maybe something to do with constantly having to put up with some form of haterade or other. My racial awareness started at around the age of four when I could discern a vibe of hatred from people directed at my mother and myself, mostly in the form of what the kids call mean mugging today. Later, in first grade, when during the first three months, I was chased around the playground during recess by kids who seemed angry and wanted to make sure I knew that I was a nigger, by calling me that repeatedly before running out of breath. I was quick and thus was never caught. In any event, I do not think my Racial Awareness was in any way congenital, but it would seem that the author of this manifesto seems to think so.

And this is our problem. We need to and have to.

No, you don’t, at all, unless you are a pants piddling moron looking to find ever more creative ways in which to piddle your pants.

Say you were to witness a dog being beat by a man. You are almost surely going to feel very sorry for that dog. But then say you were to witness a dog biting a man. You will most likely not feel the same pity you felt for the dog for the man. Why? Because dogs are lower than men.

And off to the races we go.

This same analogy applies to black and White relations. Even today, blacks are subconsciously viewed by White people are lower beings. They are held to a lower standard in general. This is why they are able to get away with things like obnoxious behavior in public. Because it is expected of them.

If this motherfucker does not get me some fucking Iced Tea, right this MotherScratching minute, I might just have to burn this motherfucking place down!

Modern history classes instill a subconscious White superiority complex in Whites and an inferiority complex in blacks. This White superiority complex that comes from learning of how we dominated other peoples is also part of the problem I have just mentioned. But of course I dont deny that we are in fact superior.

Of course not, which made it easy for you to kill them.

I wish with a passion that niggers were treated terribly throughout history by Whites, that every White person had an ancestor who owned slaves, that segregation was an evil an oppressive institution, and so on. Because if it was all it true, it would make it so much easier for me to accept our current situation. But it isnt true. None of it is. We are told to accept what is happening to us because of ancestors wrong doing, but it is all based on historical lies, exaggerations and myths. I have tried endlessly to think of reasons we deserve this, and I have only came back more irritated because there are no reasons.

Ya’know, I have only came back more irratated myself, because i have to navigate a world in which there is some much senseless ignorance and which apparently, is filled, with assholes like you who would take pleasure in seeing me and others like me, come to harm.

Only a fourth to a third of people in the South owned even one slave. Yet every White person is treated as if they had a slave owning ancestor.

A geneology lesson might be called for here…But please to be continuing.

This applies to in the states where slavery never existed, as well as people whose families immigrated after slavery was abolished.

I have read hundreds of slaves narratives from my state. And almost all of them were positive.

One sticks out in my mind where an old ex-slave recounted how the day his mistress died was one of the saddest days of his life. And in many of these narratives the slaves told of how their masters didnt even allowing whipping on his plantation.

Sure you have, and sure they were…

Segregation was not a bad thing. It was a defensive measure. Segregation did not exist to hold back negroes. It existed to protect us from them. And I mean that in multiple ways. Not only did it protect us from having to interact with them, and from being physically harmed by them, but it protected us from being brought down to their level. Integration has done nothing but bring Whites down to level of brute animals. The best example of this is obviously our school system.

Uh huh.

Now White parents are forced to move to the suburbs to send their children to “good schools”. But what constitutes a “good school”? The fact is that how good a school is considered directly corresponds to how White it is. I hate with a passion the whole idea of the suburbs. To me it represents nothing but scared White people running. Running because they are too weak, scared, and brainwashed to fight. Why should we have to flee the cities we created for the security of the suburbs? Why are the suburbs secure in the first place? Because they are White. The pathetic part is that these White people dont even admit to themselves why they are moving. They tell themselves it is for better schools or simply to live in a nicer neighborhood. But it is honestly just a way to escape niggers and other minorities.

There are a couple pearls of wisdom in there. Black-eyed pearls.

But what about the White people that are left behind? What about the White children who, because of school zoning laws, are forced to go to a school that is 90 percent black? Do we really think that that White kid will be able to go one day without being picked on for being White, or called a “white boy”? And who is fighting for him? Who is fighting for these White people forced by economic circumstances to live among negroes? No one, but someone has to.

I feel this kids pain, having never been to any school that was not 95 percent white, for which I suppose, I should be grateful. Would that I were an asshat.

Here I would also like to touch on the idea of a Norhtwest Front. I think this idea is beyond stupid. Why should I for example, give up the beauty and history of my state to go to the Norhthwest? To me the whole idea just parralells the concept of White people running to the suburbs. The whole idea is pathetic and just another way to run from the problem without facing it.

Cornpone McNiggerHater sure did face his problem and did so in the uniquely manifest and manly way by gunning down unarmed people in church. That was courageous! Taking out that Grandmother was not unlike the act of a martyr, the heroism displayed in defense of the White Race by this goodly southern Gentleman.

In any event, we have come to the conclusion of part the two.

While the the clown car attempts to parse the gwying ons on that southern kid what shot up a black church some hundred miles from his house…A pause is warranted, Joy has been stolen and love lost.

A moment please, a pause to reflect required.

The Manifesto

Also too, a good post on White Supremicist love of Rhodesia

This kid happened to leave a record carved into what we now call the internet which will now be parsed by this random nigger. Thanks to Moe Syzlack a wonderful man about Halifax town for pointing me into this direction, a cached google listing of his manifesto appearing on the page of his blog titled “the Last Rhodisian.”

I was not raised in a racist home or environment. Living in the South, almost every White person has a small amount of racial awareness, simply beause of the numbers of negroes in this part of the country. But it is a superficial awareness.

Now I have come across accounts that the kid in question had an eighth grade education. reading the opening tells me that while that might have been the case, we are not dealing with an idiot. I can only imagine how many college freshmen would be unable to compose the previous. He missed a c in because, but otherwise, I cant fault his opening, aside from the obvious lie contained in the first sentence.

Growing up, in school, the White and black kids would make racial jokes toward each other, but all they were were jokes. Me and White friends would sometimes would watch things that would make us think that “blacks were the real racists” and other elementary thoughts like this, but there was no real understanding behind it.

Note the capitalization of White in the graph above and the lower case of black/s. One might consider this a tell in the parlance of poker. Yet for the missing comma betwixt the were’s we still have a coherence that belies any attempt to label the kid a moron.

The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case. I kept hearing and seeing his name, and eventually I decided to look him up. I read the Wikipedia article and right away I was unable to understand what the big deal was.

I suspect from here on a shower, not so much Golden, will rain.

It was obvious that Zimmerman was in the right.

This would be the obvious conclusion for any fair-minded individual, steeped in the traditions of the Culture of the South.

But more importantly this prompted me to type in the words “black on White crime” into Google, and I have never been the same since that day.

Truth be told, I myself was motivated to do the same. I mean if this random Cracker shot up a nigger, then the obverse must be the case, and in do fairness, in our current environment, both sides are always wrong, so really nothing need be begged in terms of pardon, nothing need to be questioned as far as motive, one simply need only state “both sides” and all will be forgiven.

The first website I came to was the Council of Conservative Citizens. There were pages upon pages of these brutal black on White murders. I was in disbelief. At this moment I realized that something was very wrong. How could the news be blowing up the Trayvon Martin case while hundreds of these black on White murders got ignored?

Again with the capitalization of white* and the nigrification of Black.

The Council of Conservative Citizens rings with a certain familiarity. A K sound followed by two others, if one were to pronounce the last Kitizens with a secret handshake, and one wonders if the abstractions that Lee Atwater had in mind may be at the root of this construction.

“Brutal”, “disbelief”, something “very wrong”, “blowing up.” In other words kiddo could not imagine the attention given to a story involving the murder of a black kid who was simply walking to his father’s house after purchasing some tea and some skittles, momentarily minding his own business and then attempting to momentarily mind his own life.

From this point I researched deeper and found out what was happening in Europe.

Wondering if Brevik makes an appearance.

I saw that the same things were happening in England and France, and in all the other Western European countries. Again I found myself in disbelief.

Again with the “disbelief.” It is simply unpossible to believe that whatever things that were a- transpiring up in England, France, and the rest of western Europia, were a-transpiring up in this place.

As an American we are taught to accept living in the melting pot, and black and other minorities have just as much right to be here as we do, since we are all immigrants. But Europe is the homeland of White people, and in many ways the situation is even worse there. From here I found out about the Jewish problem and other issues facing our race, and I can say today that I am completely racially aware.

This graph starts well, yet ends up in the Dumpster.

Blacks

I think it is is fitting to start off with the group I have the most real life experience with, and the group that is the biggest problem for Americans.

I suspect that a shoe is about to drop.

Niggers are stupid and violent. At the same time they have the capacity to be very slick. Black people view everything through a racial lense. Thats what racial awareness is, its viewing everything that happens through a racial lense.

“Slick” (thanks Willy.) Check!? Oh right I forgot the Niggers who are stupid and violent and view everything through the slickest of racial lensing.

Is it possible if someone might have hooked this kid up with a movie projector that his life may have charted a different course, had he been the recipient of an Octoplex, that he might have at some point gotten laid?

They are always thinking about the fact that they are black. This is part of the reason they get offended so easily, and think that some thing are intended to be racist towards them, even when a White person wouldnt be thinking about race. The other reason is the Jewish agitation of the black race.
Black people are racially aware almost from birth, but White people on average dont think about race in their daily lives. And this is our problem. We need to and have to.

We of the darker persuasion spend almost as much time thinking about being Black as Evangelicals spend pondering the habits of Homosexuals. One of these things might be like the others, and then again it might not…In any event we will have to pick up the rest of the thing later. Something about Bat times and Bat channels involving a possibility of drop kicking the mike.

*It occurs to me that the adjustment to the last sentence makes me a racist shitheel

The story under observation starts with an innocent child, but not really innocent, because Eve, or Reasons, or Something.

Undoubtedly a sweet kid once upon a time, who could never have been expected to commit a crime. And really, the idea that this young man might one day hang out with and then slaughter nine African Americans during a a Wednesday night bible study would have been unpossible to imagine. I mean really, who the fuck could have known? Not even Vegas could have calculated the odds. The behavior in question being without precedent.

Oh, right. Wait, what are those niggers pointing at? In fact, what plausible fucking right do they have to breathe on that balcony? In fact instead of the choreographed dance number they are performing it would seem like they have some fucking trash to remove. Just like ‘em though, lazy and shiftless, is the way they tend to roll.

While some pine for the 50′s, I can pine for the early 90′s, pine for a Country that still had the balls to necklace a fucking nigger.

Unfortunately, those times have passed. On to another country, who prefer hot lead, choke holds, and spinal fracturing as their means of Justice.

Another Country, once Prideful and Strong, yet the vicissitudes of time and its inexorable march have emasculated the vestiges of its former Glory.

And once again, the question begs itself; Who could have known that such a fearless Patriot, who is only guilty of what God would beg him to do, who cleansed some serious wounds, who acted as Judge, Jury, and Executioner, performing upon the Body Politic, a necessary, if painful, excision, now sits in a cell, his motives misunderstood.

A dream smothered in its crib. Which makes the more cynical of our brethren question a belief in a Higher Being, yet a dream worth preserving at any cost. “…to sleep, perchance to dream…”

And hope is kindled anew, as there are some who have their fingers on the pulse of Reason, who work vociferously to keep the flame alive.

This is what I am talking about. Courage, Pride, and the South Africamerican Way!!! Fuck Yeah!

So in other news, Rachel Dolezal of Spokane Washington has been living a lie. She attended a HBCU, she has worked in a hair salon that caters to black women, she teaches part time at Eastern Washington university in the Africana studies program, she is the head of local chapter of the NAACP, and she is not actually black, although she has been dying her skin and living as a black woman for years.

Credibility of local NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal questioned

This deception has provoked quite an uproar on twitter, and many people are shocked and disappointed. And many people find it hilarious, that a white woman had for years essentially lived as a cariacature of a professional educated black person.

It provides fodder for strange conjectures, like how common is this? How many activists are in disguise? How much of identity politics is driven by people with little or no claim to the identity? Was David Duke really a tree frog?

But here’s where a bizarre case is going to get stupid. The story is getting national coverage, and before you know it, some asshole is going to ask why its OK for Caitlyn Jenner to live as a woman but not ok for Rachel Dolezal to live as a black woman? So, my question for you dear readers, is who is the highest profile person that makes that comparison? is it going to stay in the fever swamps of the wingnut blogosphere or is someone like George Will going to ask it on national TV?

Didn’t catch the Sunday Funnies, but if not today the question will be begged within a week or two. Anyhoo, I only caught up with this story yesterday and had mixed feelings at least until I encountered the following:

One Saturday morning, my kids burst into my bedroom. “Mom, there’s a rope hanging in the backyard; it looks like a noose!” I raced outside as my mind instantly tracked back to the parting words of a colleague at Howard University when we left Washington, D.C., en route to Idaho. “Don’t go there; you’ll get lynched!” I remember brushing off her comment with some theoretical statement about not living in a culture of fear. But that day my sons found the noose really broke my heart in a certain kind of way. I hadn’t told them about all the other incidents of harassment toward us before that day; I wanted to be their shield against the wave of terror that kept me awake at night. And now they were faced with a symbol of death when picking garden strawberries for breakfast. The police came. They interviewed all three of us, mumbled something about us getting security cameras and logged the incident as a hate crime. Our house was burglarized not once, but several times. There were nooses, swastikas and death threats.

I am having difficulty parsing the angle of grift here, but the appropriation of the black experience in such a stereotypical manner is disturbing. It is a narrative, but smells inauthentic to me. I guess I am a bit jealous, as the only way I could possibly pass as a white person would require me wearing a white robe and a pointed hood…

Learning From Mistakes

We have been asked (by David Brooks) to understand that mistakes were made (by lots of important people but also by David Brooks) because it turns out that war is tricky. And when war is waged for example, on behalf of people so crooked that they have to screw their pants on, whose only understanding of the complexities of war come from “Combat” for the Atari 2600, whose grasp of the politics and history of the middle east goes no further than what they remember from the last issue of the ‘warmongers quarterly guide to the world’s largest and least defended oil fields’, what results may not be a Jeffersonian democracy founded in the hope of peace and brotherhood for all. And that despite the fact that mistakes were made (by many people including David Brooks) we should totally be humble (like David Brooks), and forgive people (like David Brooks) trusting that if in some small way things did not turn out exactly as hoped, that we should trust that the very smartest people made these decisions for the best of reasons. And to suggest that this is an innaccurate recap of events is nothing more than mean spirited partisan politics and petty jealousy. Which is why it’s beneath the dignity of America’s most humble pundit (like for example David Brooks) to actually take the time to specifically admit that he happily sang from the same songbook as the Bush administration neocons that purposefully distorted, or invented any intelligence they could to justify the invasion of Iraq.

And this is utter horseshit. The most generous thing one can say about those people who believed we should go to war with Iraq is that they were gullible. All of the other reasons to go to war with Iraq are various shades of bloodthirst or avarice or paranoia or dangerously unrealistic optimisim that Saddam could be removed quickly, relatively bloodlessly and easily replaced with a democratically elected government. David Brooks doesn’t want to admit to any of that. He’s happy to look at opinion polls showing broad support for intervention (after troops were already on the ground), at self serving attempts by the administration to blame the fiasco on bad intel (cooked up to order by Cheney’s pet analysts).

I mean just look at the reaching David Brooks has to do to try and justify his enthusiastic support of the invasion and subsequent occupation:

If you could go back to 1889 and strangle Adolf Hitler in his crib, would you do it?

He’s slipping. That’s the kind of argument we’re accustomed to hearing Jonah Goldberg make. An argument that requires time travel is not a persuasive argument. But it’s all he’s got, because any attempt to update his argument requires integrity. Let’s pick a thing that’s happening right now that could have dangerous consequeses if allowed to continue, for example the Governor Sam Brownbeck or Governor Bobby Jindal’s out and out war on education in Kansas and Louisiana. Public education in those states is and will continue to be a fiasco, turning out thousands or millions of young people without any chance to get into a good university, and making sure that any good university in those states is both privately funded and prohibitively expensive for students that aren’t already rich. It’s not WWII, but it’s bad enough. left unchecked there will be millions of young people in those states who will never have the chance to make a good living, because their government has abdicated its responsibility to educate them. Those young people will start at a tremendous disadvantage and suffer more of the ills of poverty than they would have had to if they got a good education. Some people will have to take more hazardous jobs than they would have otherwise, and some fraction of those will be killed by them. Those states have also done all they can to fight the ACA, and refuse medicaid expansion. More citizens will die from those policies. So, having said that, and proving insofar as it can be ‘proved’ in a blog post that the policies of Governors Brownbeck and Jindal are causing avoidable suffering and death to citizens of those states in order to pander to the basest of their base, would it be ok to kill Governors Brownbeck and Jindal? Absolutely not. Should they be stopped, opposed by every legal means and their administrations examined for any hint of corruption the prosecution of which might slow down their assault on the residents of those states? Absolutely.

But David Brooks can’t get there. He can’t admit that killing people should be the last resort of anyone that claims to call themselves civilized and not the first. Look at this:

After the 1990s, many of us were leaning in the interventionist direction. We’d seen the fall of the apartheid regime, which made South Africa better. We’d seen the fall of communist regimes, which made the Eastern bloc nations better. Many of us thought that, by taking down Saddam Hussein, we could end another evil empire, and gradually open up human development in Iraq and the Arab world.

His example refutes itself in one word: Yugoslavia. Anyone who paid attention in the 1990s saw what happens a deeply divided country ruled by a repressive government led by tyrant dies. People pick up guns and knives and try to settle old scores.

He’s going to try and tell us he’s learned his lesson, though:

Finally, Iraq teaches us to be suspicious of leaders who try to force revolutionary, transformational change. It teaches us to have respect for trimmers, leaders who pay minute attention to context, who try to lead gradual but constant change. It teaches us to honor those who respect the unfathomable complexity of history and who are humble in the face of consequences to their actions that they cannot fully predict or understand.

Nowhere in there does it say, “when we make a predictable mistake, let’s not listen to those people that were cheering for it like fans at a hometown highschool football game any more”. Nowhere does it say, “Let’s start listening to the people who told as many people as they could, as loud as they could, that it was a bad, maybe criminal idea.” Nowhere does it say “let’s start prosecuting the liars and the torturers and chase it down until all of the liars, war profiteers, torturers and other assorted war criminals are behind bars.”
