Black Thug Dies; Black Underclass Burns Down Baltimore; Police Indicted. Same Old Story.

Obviously, something has to be done to curb black violence and lawlessness.  Our current strategy -- Give speeches about racism, apologize to thug's family, persecute the police officers -- isn't working.

How about just telling the truth about black dysfunction, rotten attitudes, violence and racist hatred against all non-blacks?  Truth might be a novel way to begin the search for solutions.

Fred Reed discusses some of these forbidden truths in his essay "Black Power."  He writes:

It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit.

Fred's essay was written just before the Ferguson riots last year, but everything he says is current and relevant.  Do yourself a favor and read it here.

The New Mind Control: Use the Word "Nigger" and Your Life Is Ruined

Actor Tim Allen has a point.  The use of the term "N-Word" is just as offensive as the term it represents, the word "nigger."

The word "nigger" is at least 200 years old (probably more), and didn't start out as an ethnic slur or insult.  Blacks themselves invented the word.  It is derived from the word "Niger," meaning black.  There is an African nation by that name, and also one named Nigeria.  Mark Twain used the word repeatedly in his fictional tales of blacks and whites in the antebellum South.  Although his fiction subtly advocated racial equality, it has been condemned by modern blacks for the use of a word that was not at all offensive at the time that Twain used it.

"Nigger" is only a hateful word by context.  It is not inherently hateful in and of itself.  However, the left has instituted unofficial speech codes into our society, so that if you use the word "nigger" in any context, be it semantical, historical or literary, you have broken an unofficial rule that carries great consequences.

Those consequences are social and professional ostracism.  Paula Deen is only the latest example in a long line of wrecked careers and lives.  She admitted she used the word thirty years ago after being assaulted by a criminal black man.  Her publisher and various department store chains immediately dropped her cookbooks and her television cooking show was canceled.  Ridiculous.

Note:  I do not advocate the careless use of the word "nigger," especially as a racial insult.  If you google the word and select "images," a ton of really offensive images are displayed.  However, use of the word does not turn any black into a pillar of salt.  So why are we so racially hypersensitive to the biggest group of screw-ups in human history?  (If you doubt me, look up crime statistics by race, illegitimacy by race and percentage of prison inmates by race.)

What blacks need is the unvarnished truth about themselves, and a great deal of societal pressure to clean up their act.  Instead, we have been programmed to do double back flips in order to never, ever offend any black, anywhere, for any reason.  They are the "sacred other," the Tribe of Dali Lamas among us, and anything less is sacrilegious, an apostasy that can never be overlooked or forgiven.

This semantical tyranny must stop.  I'm with you, Tim Allen.

Jared Taylor's Open Letter to Eric Holder: Explains a Lot About Black Behavior and "Racism"

Jared Taylor has accepted Eric Holder's public invitation for a new discussion on race, and has asked Holder for a face to face discussion.  He won't get it of course.  Liberals are not interested in defusing black racial animus but only in organizing, rationalizing and focusing it into a potent political force for socialism.  This they have done and will continue to do.

However, Taylor's letter makes some points on blacks that are worth repeating here, because knowing the true facts of the racial divide cannot do harm, and may do good, if only to encourage non-blacks to arm and defend themselves.

His first point is on black crime:

I would imagine you used statistics from your own Justice Department to show that blacks are at least seven times more likely than people of other races to commit violent crimes, and that young black men are the most dangerous people in America. I hope you explained that Americans will be suspicious of blacks for as long as they continue to commit so many crimes. This may be unfortunate for law-abiding blacks but the fault is not with the police or with neighborhood watchmen; it is with other blacks.

This is correct.  It is why profiling of blacks is necessary for our own safety and survival.  Young black men like Trayvon Martin are the largest contributors to violent crime in America.

His second point is that a bias against blacks does not in itself constitute a "hate crime," and does not invalidate the right of anyone, including an open "racist," from defending himself against a black attacker:

This is not an academic question, Mr. Holder. I hold unorthodox views on race and have expressed them publicly. Does this mean that if I am attacked by a black and have to defend myself with lethal force you will investigate me? What if it could be proven that I am the wickedest racist in America? Does that mean I have forfeited my right to defend myself against a black attacker? I hope you understand my dismay, but this is very clearly the logic of your investigation: that I will lose very important rights if I have views of which you disapprove.

Finally, Taylor mentions the horrible truth of which no one in society dare speak, that of IQ differences between the races, which is undoubtedly the major cause of black dysfunction:

Finally, on an entirely different matter, you seem to think that blacks and whites are precisely equal in ability and temperament, and that if there are any differences in outcome between the two groups, it can only be due to white “racism.” In the interest of the honest discussion you want, I invite you to reflect on the fact that American blacks have an average IQ of 85 whereas whites have an average of 100. I also invite you to consider the huge body of evidence that suggests this difference has a substantially genetic cause.

Because of this natural variability in IQ, blacks, as a group, are not going to equal the achievements of other racial groups, not anytime soon.  Maybe after another 500 years of interbreeding with other racial groups and the enlargement of their accessible gene pool, or through scientific achievements in genetic engineering, but most certainly not in our lifetimes.  Their dysfunction is most assuredly not the result of irrational non-black racism, and any policy initiatives that are based on that myth will not solve any problems and will more than likely make them worse.

Ted Nugent Agrees: Black Racism On The Rise

Ted Nugent has weighed in on the Zimmerman trial and verdict.  He writes:

no one can possibly dispute the recent surge in black racism increasing throughout Barack Obama’s presidency. To attempt to claim otherwise is a laughable lie.

And he furnished this gem:

America also believes that the entire prosecutorial team should be ashamed of themselves and disbarred for ignoring the obvious and kowtowing to the pure racism that forced the politically correct lie that only black lives killed by non-blacks matter

Nugent says much of what we already know, but it is still nice to hear truth amidst all the bogus cries of foul from the race-baiters and hucksters:

• That George Zimmerman was unjustly, physically attacked by Tryavon Martin
• That Zimmerman had reason to fear for his life
• That Zimmerman acted properly, reasonably and lawfully in defending himself
• That the irrational hatred now being poured out by blacks nationwide is undeniable evidence of their racism.

Which reminds me of a quote from my late cousin Doug, who said of blacks:  "If we hated them as much as they hate us, they'd all be dead."

State Mandated Show Trial: The Fix Is In

Lots of commentary on Rush and the web about the outcome of the Zimmerman trial.  Most pundits are pessimistic about the verdict.  They believe that the government has entered into a new phase of tyranny and totalitarianism, the use of show trials with predetermined outcomes to achieve political ends.

This morning, the prosecution in the Zimmerman case presented a last-minute motion for the court to provide a third possible verdict, Third Degree Murder on the basis of "Child Abuse."  The incompetent, yet ruthless prosecutors are trying to get a felony conviction at all costs.  The defense objected to the last minute nature of the motion, and the judge (thankfully) denied the motion.

The fix seems to be in, in the Zimmerman trial, and the leftist government and leftist media are totally invested in convicting an innocent man for racial reasons.  They believe that there is one standard of justice for black people, and a different one for everyone else.  My understanding is:

• The original Chief of Police of Sanford, Florida was demoted for refusing to arrest Zimmerman and resisting political pressure to do so:    

Bill Lee, who testified Monday in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, told CNN's George Howell in an exclusive interview that he felt pressure from city officials to arrest Zimmerman to placate the public rather than as a matter of justice.  "It was (relayed) to me that they just wanted an arrest. They didn't care if it got dismissed later," he said. "You don't do that."

• The Department of Justice helped organize and support protests and demands for prosecuting Zimmerman, in effect, throwing the might of the federal government behind demands for a show trial.

• Informed pundits like William Jacobson have a bad feeling about the trial outcome.  Although the evidence for acquittal is overwhelming, the jury may feel pressured to provide a politically correct verdict, in order to avoid criticism and violence while covering themselves in liberal glory.  Jacobson writes:

I’ve said it before, this was a case which never should have been brought, and it wasn’t. Not until a carefully orchestrated professionally managed publicity campaign based on false racial accusations, resulting in a Special Prosecutor.

"Progressive" politics corrupts everything.  Science, academia, media...and now the system of justice.  Where will it all end?  And what can we do about it?

Ready for the Riots? Zimmerman Trial Nearing End, Defendant Looking Like a Winner

If you have been following the Zimmerman trial over at Legal Insurrection, you are aware that the great majority of witness testimony has supported Zimmerman's claim that he acted in self defense.

There is no way anyone remotely objective could come to any other conclusion:  George Zimmerman is innocent of second degree murder or manslaughter.

There has been a lot of discussion over the 911 call during George Zimmerman's scuffle with Trayvon Martin.  Someone is screaming for help.  The Martin witnesses claim the screamer is Trayvon, while the Zimmerman witnesses claim the screamer is George.  The Zimmerman witnesses are by far the most credible -- and, there are more of them.

So why would Trayvon Martin scream for help while he was straddling Zimmerman's chest and pounding the man's head into the cement?  The claim that the screamer was Martin is entirely laughable.

This is a case that should never have gone to trial.  It was tried in support of Democrat racial politics, assisted by some conservatives like Michael Savage and Rich Lowry (there are always those who seek to ingratiate themselves with the liberal establishment and media).  Now, as the obnoxious prosecutor tries desperately to fend off the flood of defense witnesses, the trial would appear to be headed for an acquittal.  Or so one would hope.  You can never be sure.

A lot of underclass blacks on Twitter and other forums are swearing to commit violence and riot if Zimmerman is acquitted.  I really hope that isn't true, because I really do desire genuine racial harmony and peace, even as I insist on a color-blind justice system (i.e. one that doesn't stage show trials in order to motivate and appease a key constituency).

There's an even more pressing reason why the would-be rioters should reconsider.  George Zimmerman isn't the only "crazy-ass cracker" with a gun.

Political Show Trial for George Zimmerman?

George Zimmerman has been arrested and will stand trial for second degree murder for killing Trayvon Martin in self-defense.  I cannot help but believe that his arrest and the charges against him are politically motivated.

The leftist/liberal forces that control this society will make an example of Zimmerman.  He will be given a show trial and, if possible, a phony conviction.  His life will be sacrificed so Democrats can hang on to a key constituency.

When  civil war finally comes to these United States, for me it will feel like relief.  Then we can all stop pretending this thin veneer of civilization is anything but an illusion.

The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend...I've come to talk with you again....

Or so goes the lyrics to the great Simon & Garfunkle hit.

The sound of silence is also what you get when attempting to blog about the great racial divide in this country.  Every time I mention the subject all commenting immediately stops.  The truth is, the left's speech codes on the subject are deadly....say the wrong thing and lose your job, be subject to public ridicule and denunciation, and of course, be excoriated by the left as a RAAAAACIST.  There is no enthusiasm for such a discussion, no matter how badly honest discussion is needed.

Who loses by this lack of honesty and openness?  Mainly black people, I think.  Then again, the left and the Democratic Party do not want to see economic progress among blacks, they want to see continuing dependency on governmental hand-outs and set asides.  Only by keeping blacks dependent can they count on them as a solid voting block.

The only alternative to honest discussion is to continually regurgitate all of the PC truisms that aren't true, and I am sick to death of that.  Aren't you?  In any case, I will leave this subject alone for now.

Racial Politics and Justice

The Obama Justice Department is apparently dissatisfied with the Johannes Mehserle verdict and is now considering bringing charges against former BART cop and prosecuting him again for the same crime.  No matter what your rationale, the Feds being able to try someone twice for the same crime is "double jeopardy" and unconstitutional.  However, the Feds like being able to use crime and racial politics to further political goals, i.e. to pander to a certain voting bloc.

George H.W. Bush did it against the cops who arrested Rodney King, after a California jury found them largely innocent of wrong-doing.  The cops were tried a second time in a federal court, found guilty and sentenced to prison terms.  There is no doubt in my mind that this was done to placate the majority of American blacks (blacks are far more racially conscious than are whites).

Justice had little to do with it.  Had the races been reversed, there would have been no federal retrial.  Think of O.J. Simpson, an obvious double-murderer with mountains of seemingly irrefutable evidence of his guilt.  A mostly black jury let him off.  It was clearly a case of jury nullification, i.e., delivering a verdict that was contrary to the evidence.  This was done because the black jurors did not see the case as the people vs. an accused murderer; they saw it as a case of white people vs. a black man.  To the jurors, skin color pre-empted any consideration of justice or evidence.   No Justice Department ever considered retrying O.J.  He was the wrong color, as were his victims.

Under Obama, this disparity in justice on the basis of race will only get worse.  Per the Hillbuzz blog:

Testimony from Justice Department officials has revealed a policy under Holder not to prosecute blacks accused of crimes against whites. Black people are not to be prosecuted, and, under Holder, are to be treated by a different set of laws than whites.

Now Eric Holder is thinking of retrying Mehserle, himself a white victim of circumstance in an accident that killed a black man.  Perhaps Mehserle will be the next sacrificial lamb on the altar of racial preferences.  You see, to liberals, black people are really a nation of Dali Lamas living in our midst, a sacred tribe whose every prejudice and paranoia must be gently handled with great deference and sensitivity.  It is more than a crime to ever offend a black person for any reason at any time:  it is a terrible sin.  If it ever happens, heaven and earth must be moved, if needed, to remove the offense and right the wrong.  If that means retrying a man already convicted, in order to get a more stringent verdict, so be it.

And that, my friends, is why we have a different standard for black people than we do for white people.  And if you think this unfair, you're a raaaaacist.
