The legacy of slavery

It is informative to note that the black population in the UK, which is less racially mixed than the black population in the USA, commits violent crimes at an even higher rate than the latter:

The official figures, which examine the ethnicity of those accused of violent
offences in London, suggest the majority of men held responsible by police
for gun crimes, robberies and street crimes are black….

The data provide a breakdown of the ethnicity of the 18,091 men and boys who
police took action against for a range of violent and sexual offences in
London in 2009-10. They show that among those proceeded against for street crimes, 54 per cent
were black; for robbery, 59 per cent; and for gun crimes, 67 per cent.
Street crimes include muggings, assault with intent to rob and snatching
property.

Just over 12 per cent of London’s 7.5 million population is black, including
those of mixed black and white parentage, while 69 per cent is white,
according to the Office for National Statistics….

On sex offences, black men made up 32 per cent of male suspects proceeded
against, and white men 49 per cent. The statistics also suggest that black
women are responsible for a disproportionate amount of violent crime
committed by females. 

These UK statistics are likely to be useful when responding to those who attempt to blame the legacy of slavery for disproportionately criminal behavior among the American black community.  And remember, it is blacks who suffer disproportionately from criminal black predation, especially in the UK where they do not have the ability to defend themselves due to the absence of concealed carry and stand your ground laws.  Hiding this statistical data and refusing to take it into account when formulating policy will tend to harm more blacks than the individuals of any other race.

Since women are more prone to equalitarianism than men, I’ve found the most useful tactic when discussing the connection between race and crime is to appeal to their heightened fears of sex crime.  However, it is intriguing to observe that comparative sex crimes do not follow the pattern of violent crimes.  In the UK, the average black man is 275 percent more likely to commit a sex offense than the average white man, the comparable delta in the USA is 763 percent.  However, I suspect this is mostly an artifact of the larger and more segregated black population because 24 percent of all American sex offenses are black-on-black. The relevant delta for a white American woman is much closer to the overall UK figure at 334 percent.

Still, the fact that the average black man poses more than four times the sexual assault risk to a white woman than the average white man is not something that is taught to young American women despite the fact that most women’s studies programs spend a great deal of time discussing the sexual dangers posed by men.  Then again, math is hard….

I note that vaccines are declared to be safe on statistical grounds that are far less sound than the statistical correlations reliably observed between race and criminal behavior in various societies.  As usual, the merciless application of the facts across the board will tend to expose the attempt of the ideological left to conceal the truth through ignorance, deceit, and sophistry.

Science and statistics are gradually destroying the myth of equality, which is why we have now reached the point that many governments, including the US federal government, are being forced to resort to hiding statistics they once deemed necessary in order to continue justifying their false equalitarian dogma.  But the truth is what it is, whether we like it or not, and deceit that flies in the face of observable reality is eventually going to be exposed.

Homeschool or die, vol 567

No doubt this young white boy will need remedial education about the manifold blessings of vibrancy after experiencing these unprovoked interracial relations on the school bus:

Note that the bus drivers are not expected to intervene unless they feel it is safe for them to do so, which is when their intervention is unnecessary. And notice how not even the most abjectly submissive posture was sufficient to save the younger, smaller white boy from a beating at the hands of his fellow scholars who happened to be randomly inspired to violence for absolutely no reason that could possibly justify charging them with a hate crime.

Of course, the real lesson of Trayvon Martin is that the vibrant youth had better save their violent outbursts for gun-free zones like schools and school buses.  Because, thanks to the Internet punching through the veil of the mainstream media, there are millions of black and white and Hispanic gun owners who are more than ready for the zombie apocalypse. 

Oh, were you under the impression that the whole zombie meme was actually about zombies?

The sad thing is that if the bus driver had done what he should have done, which is to end the attack by following Rule #1, he would have been charged with a crime instead of being rewarded with a bounty.

Ignorance of the law

Is no excuse for looking like a moron.  Instapundit wonders what the vibrant ignorati posturing publicly about Florida law will do when they realize that Florida is not the only state in question here:

WHAT WILL THEY DO WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT CALIFORNIA, MASSACHUSETTS AND PENNSYLVANIA HAVE STAND-YOUR-GROUND LAWS, TOO? Some of the music industry’s biggest acts are joining Stevie Wonder in boycotting Florida over the state’s controversial “stand your ground” law. UPDATE: Illinois has “Stand Your Ground” Too — And Obama Voted For It. Will they boycott White House performances? Dumbasses.

Tomato, tomahto….  Stevie Wonder declares: “I decided today that until the ‘stand your ground’ law is abolished in
Florida, I will never perform there again,” he said. “As a matter of
fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state
or in that part of the world.”

From Wikipedia: “Many states have some form of stand-your-ground law. Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.”

Blindness isn’t merely a physical phenomenon. It should be amusing to see how quickly Mr. Wonder backs down once he realizes he just effectively ended his career outside the recording studio.

Change or face real change

Radley Balko has an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal on the need to demilitarize American police culture:

[I]t is crucial to change the culture of militarization in American law enforcement. Consider today’s police recruitment
videos (widely available on YouTube), which often feature cops
rappelling from helicopters, shooting big guns, kicking down doors and
tackling suspects. Such campaigns embody an American policing culture
that has become too isolated, confrontational and militaristic, and they
tend to attract recruits for the wrong reasons.

If you browse online police discussion
boards, or chat with younger cops today, you will often encounter some
version of the phrase, “Whatever I need to do to get home safe.” It is a
sentiment that suggests that every interaction with a citizen may be
the officer’s last.

Now, we know that the police actively discriminate against the intelligent in building their department rosters, so perhaps we shouldn’t be too hard on those who have the inability to think through the logical consequences of their militaristic, short-sighted attitudes.

And demilitarization is without question in the material interests of the police as well.  They have started a war of escalation and attrition that they cannot possibly win.  Perhaps you recall how completely freaked out the LAPD was when the ex-cop went rogue and started targeting police families?  And maybe you remember how much fear was expressed throughout law enforcement communities when it appeared prosecutors were being targeted at home?

It does not take a master logician to observe that all the “whatever I need to do to get home safe” mentality guarantees is that abusive police homes will soon be unsafe.  And the growing Hispanic population means that there will likely be more Latin American-style infiltration, assassination, and terror directed at the lower levels of law enforcement.  Indeed, there are some analysts who believe this is already taking place in parts of the American Southwest.

Offended by reality

It took more than eight years for Gavin McInnes to shake off the diversity with which he was infected at university:

I first noticed I was brainwashed while on vacation in Jamaica. We went into a souvenir shop and I caught myself being offended by fridge magnets portraying black soccer players with huge grins. They had bugged-out eyes and exaggerated lips and it reminded me of the Golliwogs I had been taught are evil. Who was allowing this magnetic minstrel show of a soccer game to appear before my eyes? Why, Jamaicans, of course. They are allowed to create cartoon sculptures of themselves. As this basic truth seeped into my cranium I could feel the liberal-arts professor in my head say blacks can make these magnets because they’re not coming from a place of privilege…or something…but that feels like a Band-Aid solution to a hemorrhaging gash in the logic. Now we have to research who created what image before we deem it unacceptable? Former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill tells us the Cleveland Indians logo is offensive. Is that because a white guy drew it? What if they hired an Indian to draw it? Is that OK? I thought my diploma would provide tools for the real world, but it was nothing more than a Ph.D. in Shit for Brains.

Racism doesn’t pervade every part of modern life, but when you have a liberal-arts education, anti-racism sure does. The fridge-magnet incident was disturbing because I felt myself having an emotion that wasn’t mine.

The second time this happened I almost pulled my brain out and threw it in the garbage. We were watching a movie at an old-timey theater and I saw a black man who worked there taking out the garbage. He was black as coal and was wearing an attendant’s uniform that included white gloves. His lips were very red and enormous. He also had big eyes. I feel racist even describing this guy. When I caught this human being wearing the skin in which he was born, I was not amused. I had been so brainwashed into finding that kind of depiction of a black person offensive, I even got offended when it was the guy’s actual face! I felt like politely sauntering over to him and asking him if he would kindly take it down a notch. Thanks, college.

That’s the beauty of the modern collegiate brainwashing.  It leaves the victim in a state of permanent offense, because he – or as now much more often the case, she – is programmed to be offended by reality.  It is a literally delusional state which leads the brainwashed victim to lunacies such as declaring, with a straight face, that Margaret Thatcher is not a woman.

Keep this in mind when you are contemplating where to send your children to university.

Fred Reed on Zimmerman v Martin

It’s not so much the trial as everything around it that bodes ill for America 3.0:

Never have I seen such sprawling, cacophonous, indignant ignorance
and frightful stupidity as that being exhibited by the American public.
We are doomed.  I am delighted. Curmudgeons love doom.

Has there ever been such focused inattention as the case has
produced? Nothing of importance is noticed, and everything lacking it
is. The crucial fact to come out of the whole adventure—crucial, and
therefore utterly overlooked–was that  Rachel Jeantel, a prosecution
witness and black girl aged nineteen years, can´t read. The grim
implication of this fact is confirmed by the illiteracy of tweets from
blacks regarding the case. “Ima kill dat dumass cracker be racis.” Here
we see as neatly displayed as if in a jewelry box why so many young
blacks will go nowhere in the remaining fifty years of their lives.
They can´t read, or barely can. In a fading techno-industrial
civilization—I use the latter word frivolously—this consigns them to a
life on charity. Is this not of more note than who started what?

No. The educational disaster that will leave Rachel and
millions of her confreres in meaningless lives on welfare pales in
importance compared to the question: Did Trayvon Martin and Zimmerman
have the proper racial attitudes?

It is interesting, is it not, that questions concerning proper attitudes are deemed so much more important than other, much less important questions such as “are multicultural and multiracial societies sustainable in the absence of the greatest credit boom of all time?”  I understand many people believe that they are.  What I don’t understand is the basis for their belief, beyond the prosaic observation that the previous straw did not break the camel’s back.

As for Fred, the old curmudgeon is quite clearly enjoying all of this.  As he should, considering that he’s doing so from the safety of Mexico.

Black on brown

I suspect this sort of response isn’t going to end well for the African-American community:

[R]eal estate agent
Christina Dudley said she was walking to her car just before 9 p.m.
when she saw several young black males and two black females chasing a
37-year-old Hispanic man west on North Linwood Avenue past East Fairmont
Avenue. “One of the boys had a handgun out and it was pointed at the back of him,” Dudley said in an interview.

They
caught up to the man at the corner of Fairmount and N. Streeper Street,
and the male with the gun beat the victim with what appeared to be his
gun while others kicked and stomped him, Dudley said.

“They were
just yelling and calling him names as they ran after him, but once they
were hitting him and after that they started yelling, “This is for
Trayvon, [expletive],” said Dudley, who heard the chant repeated
multiple times….

Using a translator, police spoke to the victim, who knows some
English, according to the police report. The victim told officers that
he was standing in the intersection of Fairmont and N. Potomac Street
when a group of five black males first approached him. He
described all of the males as between 16 and 18 and told police a 6-foot
suspect with a black “stretchy” shirt and mohawk told him, “What’s up,
[expletive].” When the victim raised his phone to call 911, the suspect
raised his shirt and flashed a silver handgun in his waistband.

The
victim turned and ran before he was caught in the 2800 block of
Fairmont and was beaten, police said. He sustained abrasions to his
elbows and forearms but refused medical attention. Police listed all of the suspects involved as black males. Three were “skinny” while one was described as overweight.

As can be seen in Mexico, the moderate time preferences of Hispanics tend to make them more organized than blacks and less temperate than whites when they turn violent. When black and white communities collide, the result tends to lean towards segregation. When black and brown communities collide, the result tends to lean towards the eradication of the former.

Blacks not infrequently engage in this sort of random public group beating.  Hispanics not infrequently leave collections of dead bodies neatly displayed in public.  Welcome to America 3.0.

However, it is interesting to note that the black community understands George Zimmerman is Hispanic, even though the mainstream media still wants to affect that he is white.

Mistrial or he walks

“A lot has been made of the fact that there are six women on the Zimmerman jury.  My expectation is that he will be found not guilty, less because he isn’t actually guilty of anything but self-defense, but because there is a Hispanic woman on the jury.  On matters of race, Hispanics not only tend to stick together, but more importantly, tend to be considerably less guiltable, for lack of a better expression, than whites.”

I wrote that last night but didn’t post it because I was intending to write more and didn’t get around to finishing it.  As it happens, the post was overtaken by events, because last night the jury rightly found George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin:

George Zimmerman never denied shooting Trayvon Martin, but he said he did so in self defense. Late Saturday night, a Florida jury found him not guilty in the teenager’s death. The verdict caps a case that has inflamed passions for well over a year, much of it focused on race and gun rights. The six jurors — all of them women — deliberated for 16½ hours. Five of the women are white; one is a minority.

I tend to doubt there will be any massive riots; it’s been pretty clear that the prosecution completely failed to make any coherent case against Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense.  Also, unlike Rodney King, this wasn’t an official cop thing and the black community in America knows very well that it is getting its clock cleaned by the Hispanic community everywhere from Compton to Miami.

This tweet sums it all up: “So a Hispanic shoots a black and is acquitted by women, but it’s still white men’s fault.”

The hit-and-runs Americans won’t cause

More blessings of diversity in Mogadishu on the Mississippi:

A 24-year-old Minneapolis man was charged Tuesday
in last week’s hit-and-run death of a bicyclist, in which the driver
allegedly sped through a stop sign with his car’s headlights off, ran
over the victim and then fled. Abdirahman Abdi Ali, 24, was charged in Hennepin County District
Court with two counts of felony criminal vehicular homicide. Each charge
carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

Authorities believe Ali was driving the car that struck 24-year-old
Jessica Hanson around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Whittier neighborhood
as she biked to her boyfriend’s house. Witnesses said the car’s
headlights were off on when it sped north on Pleasant Avenue South, went
through the stop sign at West 28th Street and hit Hanson in the
intersection and didn’t stop….

Ali, who had a revoked driver’s license, called police Friday evening
and said he had struck a person as he drove along Pleasant Avenue. He
said his vehicle was being shot at and that he did not know whom or what
he hit when he sped away. Ali’s mother later told police she had spoken
with her son Friday morning and that he had told her he had been in an
accident and thought he might have struck a bicyclist.

Police said Abdirahman Ali is the older brother of Ahmed Shire Ali,
who is serving an 18-year prison sentence for pleading guilty to his
role in the January 2010 slayings of three people at Seward Market &
Halal Meats on East Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. The gunman in that case, Mahdi Hassan Ali, was tried in 2011,
convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the deaths of store clerk
Osman Jama Elmi, 28; his cousin, Mohamed Abdi Warfa, 30; and customer
Anwar Salah Mohamed, 31.

As I mentioned last month, we were in Rome with some friends from Minneapolis and they commented on how they were surprised to see fewer Africans and Muslims in Rome than in Minneapolis.  Of course, the Romans recall what eventually happens in every multicultural society.

But what is just another dead white girl in comparison with the manifold blessings of St. Diversity.

The wrong question

Horrified by a picture of observable reality with which he was hitherto unfamiliar, ESR asks: how can we keep the bigots from winning?

I have read very little in the last few decades that is as shocking to me as this: Essay by a teacher in a black high school. My first reaction was that I wanted to believe it was a bigot’s fabrication. I’d still like to believe that, but it was reposted
by a black man who claims it is representative of “dirty laundry”: bad
stuff [known among blacks] about black folk never to be said around
whites.

My second reaction, afterwards, was: for those of us who insist that
people ought to be judged by the content of their characters rather than
the color of their skins, what emotionally compelling argument do we
have against anti-black racism that reading this doesn’t blow to
smithereens?

But if this is really where they came from – if this is what they’re
right-end-of-the-bell-curve exceptions to, and that reality becomes
widely known or believed – rational argument won’t be enough. How can
we keep the bigots from winning?

That’s not the right
question.  ESR is still making false assumptions in ignorance; he still
believes “all the rational arguments against racism are still sound”.
It is said that one must let reason be silent when experience gainsays
its conclusions, so the correct question for the genuinely rational
individual is: “what if those we called bigots were right all along?”

I
have to admit, all this shock and horror from politically correct
goodthinkers is more than a little amusing to me.  I linked to a similar post back in 2007 and wrote about my own experiences with the cruelty of affirmative action in 2011.  And, of course, I was called raciss and bigoted and so on, even though I have been entirely open about the fact that I am, by every political and genetic measure, a bona fide Person of Color.

And
as such, I can reassure ESR that the facts are simply the facts.  Facts
can only be true or false, they cannot be purple, or racist, or
ruffled.  They don’t change depending upon whether the individual
acknowledging them is white, black, or canine.
