Black Power

Guest Post by Fred Reed

 

A Done Deal

As I write America waits, again, to see whether blacks will riot, this time in Ferguson. Will they loot, burn, kill, and rape? The usual? The police in Ferguson prepare to protect stores from looters, as rioters seem to regard their insurrections as shopping opportunities. Will it come, we wonder tensely? Will the destruction get out of hand, spread to other cities?

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.

Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks.

Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks.

We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums.

One might think that a single set of laws should apply to all citizens, and that things should be done without regard to race, creed, color, sex, or national origin, and that all should have the same rights and responsibilities. It is not so.

The dominance of the media by blacks is impressive. If a white shoots a black to defend himself, it becomes national news for weeks, or months, and riots follow, but when blacks engage in their unending racial attacks on whites, the media demurely look the other way. The attackers are never black. They are “teens.” Reporters who say otherwise are likely to be fired. In effect, the thirteen percent censor the national press.

Much of their mastery has become so deeply engrained as no longer to be noticed. There is the DC Bob. In the bars and restaurants of Washington, a man weary of an incompetent affirmative-action hire in his office will, before commenting to a friend, lean forward, lower his voice, and look furtively over both shoulders to see whether anyone might overhear: The DC Bob. People don’t even know that they are doing this.

Defensive behavior by whites has become nearly universal. A sort of Masonic recognition-ritual occurs among white people recently introduced in social gatherings. Is the other person, for want of better terms, a liberal or a realist? Dare one speak?  One of them will say something mildly skeptical about, say, Jesse Jackson. The other rolls his eyes in shared disgust. The secret handshake.  Or, if the listener is politically correct, the bait is not taken. In either case, blacks dominate political conversation.

So extreme is the power to control speech and even thought that politicians have to avoid mentioning watermelons, that neighborhoods of high crime must delicately be called “sketchy” instead of “black,” though all understand what is meant.

The avoidance of racial reference is not an even-handed if despotic attempt to oppose racism since, as we all know, blacks freely apply any derogatory wording they choose to whites. In short, they rule. Which is amazing.

The dominance extends to children. When in junior high one of my daughters brought home a science handout with common chemical terms badly misspelled. “Is your teacher black?” I said without thinking. “Daaaaaaady!” she said in anguish, having made the connection but knowing that she shouldn’t have. Blacks control what you can say to your own children in your own home. And of course if I had gone to the school and demanded that the teacher be fired, it would have been evidence of my depravity and probable KKK membership.

The word “unbelievable” has lost all force.  Things that ought to be unbelievable, and once were, have become routine.  Still, there it was: Don’t expect a junior-high teacher to have the level of literacy I had in the fourth grade. Instead, make it dangerous to notice her stupidity.

This is not new, and it hasn’t changed. In 1981, in a piece for Harper’s, I wrote:

“The bald, statistically verifiable truth is that the teachers’ colleges, probably on ideological grounds, have produced an incredible proportion of incompetent black teachers. Evidence of this appears periodically, as, for example, in the results of a competency test given to applicants for teaching positions in Pinellas County, Florida (which includes St. Petersburg and Clearwater), cited in Time, June 16, 1980. To pass this grueling examination, an applicant had to be able to read at the tenth-grade level and do arithmetic at the eighth-grade level. Though they all held B.A.’s, 25 percent of the whites and 79 percent of the blacks failed. Similar statistics exist for other places.”s

Nothing has changed.

Blacks now control the presidency and thus, most importantly, the Attorney Generalship. In this the staggering political power of blacks is most evident. Obama was elected because he was black: an equally unqualified and negligible white pol would have had no chance. He is now fiercely pushing the most profound transformation of America ever attempted, by opening the floodgates to immigration from the south. To effect this end he apparently will simply ignore Congress. The people will not be consulted.

It is hard to imagine why he does it except from racism, from a desire to get even with whites by enrolling their country in the Third World. A short-sighted policy, yes, since Hispanics do not like blacks and will soon be more powerful—but that will come a bit later.

Note that self-inflicted problems of blacks consume inordinate amounts of public and governmental attention, even though only blacks can solve them. I might say, “should solve them,” since they never have and we all know they won’t. Yet we hear about them endlessly.

Are blacks in Chicago killing each other in large numbers? The solution might be to stop doing it, might it not? While I do not wish these young dead, I can do nothing to stop them, and it is not my problem. Are black children growing up illiterate? This gives me no pleasure, and I have various reasons both selfish and moral to wish it were not so. But perhaps the solution is for their parents, or parent, to see that they do their homework, or even to teach them. I cannot do this for them, and it isn’t my problem.

Why do I have to hear, endlessly, about the “achievement gap”? Whether of genetic or cultural origin, it seems as immutable as Avogadro’s number, and I can do nothing about it.  I raise my children. They need to raise theirs.

They rule. It is astonishing.

“So, add all this up in your rigid thinking pattern: Multiple IP addresses … = Multiple dopplers.”
————- Iron Balls McGillicuddy

Wrong. I guess you never heard of IP-masking software? It’s free.

The constant haranguing of one poster (others, and now you) is pretty fucking tiring. I used to look forward to an EC post …. now, I cringe.

Here’s a general clue ……….. NO ONE GIVES A FLYING FUCK whether you, or anyone else, likes or dislikes Billy. This forum is slowly degenerating from one where ideas are discussed to one where certain posters think it’s so fucking fun and interesting to launch gratuitous personal attacks.

You all can go fuck yourselves. Gratuitous enough for ya? Oh … one more thing … Blow Me.

No, I can’t.

If you’ll read for context and meaning, which you didn’t, you’ll notice that I AM NOT defending the black race.

Nor, am I taking away from Billy’s or Sensetti’s message. In fact, I clearly stated that Billy has given me food for thought, with the actual message, when I cut through the fuckery.

What I take exception to is Billy’s verbal attacks on people, and this weird vendetta he’s got against EC, which, apparently extends to ALL Mexican people. I think that’s bullshit.

In my opinion Billy is attacked because some people don’t like his stance on race. However, they are unable to dispute the facts he puts forth so they turn to attacking him personally. He gets pissed, understandably, and throws down.
Blacks in this country as a whole are a scourge. I can post evidence to support that statement all day long. If you doubt my statement go to Memphis and walk the streets at night, come back (if you make it back) and then we can talk.

Stuck –

I am attempting to stick to rational thought and discourse here. I’ve made clear my position. No, you’re right, no one cares whether I like Billy or not. Nor am I EC’s defender.

My only point is that any message that he delivers is lessened by the delivery.

No, I’ve never heard of IP Masking software, although, in retrospect, it seems obvious that it would exist. EC freely admitted that he doesn’t have that kind of technical savvy. Maybe he does or maybe he doesn’t. I don’t know.

Dude, I know right?

Don’t know how many threads I’ve seen where EC or one of his socks just out of the blue starts some shit. I haven’t even read the goddamned article, much less posted anything, and that butt-fucking faggot has to start some shit.

He goes out of his way to deny he’s the one making socks and doppels, but I’ve noticed a pattern that wherever EC shows up, it’s usually the next post or the one before it that was the BW persona or, now, this clueless dickhead IB persona… just follows the same pattern. He gets a sock, attacks me via proxy or goads me into saying something, then justifies his attack because he pissed me off and got me to say some shit.

Meanwhile, his EC persona can claim no knowledge, even going out of his way to post some sympathetic shit about how the attacks are unfair and degrade the whole website…

I’m past caring. Really. The dicksmack can go fuck himself for all I care. Invent hundreds more socks and have whole conversations, upvote himself all he wants, etc… I ain’t going anywhere.

His dream of a “Billy-free TBP” is a pipe dream. He can choke on a bag o’ dicks…

If you are indeed a different person, what the fuck do YOU care? Have I ever said anything to you, ever? At all? Insulted you directly? No? Then shut the fuck up and go mind your own goddamned business… If you are indeed a different person, the bad blood between me and EC predates you and is none of your fucking business. You stepped into the middle of some shit, made a judgement call based on what-the-fuck-ever and now think your opinion is solid fucking gold… you can fuck off.

“I think that’s bullshit.” — Whoever

I don’t care what you think. If you want to tribe up with EC for whatever reason, that’s on you.

I can assure you, I am not EC.

And you’re right. I don’t care, not really. I just think it’s a shame that when someone of your obvious intellect (no sarcasm intended. It’s obvious you’re very well read) that you have to resort to such vile attacks.

I’m not EC’s defender, so whatever you two engage in, is really not my biz.

I think the general consensus is that discourse at TBP has gone downhill recently. Wonder what the common denominator is?

IRON BALLS

Let’s put BILLY aside and have a conversation about how this segment of society is a drain on every hard working taxpayer, how they trash morals with vulgar entertainment and do it all with the attitude that are due something FOREVER. Boomers will soon be too old to work even if they wanted and there won’t be anyone left to foot the bill. Slackers, Xers and millineals won’t and can’t pay for their freeloading , so they will have to join in and work no matter how painful.

@ Bea:

I agree with your message, 100%.

I’ve met a few black men who defy the stereotype, of the black urban yoof. That’s why I referenced Neal Boortz, above. viz, the difference between Black Men and the Culture of Urban Violence.

But the few men I’ve met are very definitely in the minority. I agree with everything Fred wrote above. I agree with what Sensetti wrote, above. I would no more walk through that neighborhood in Memphis than I would perform my own self-surgery.

Hardscrabble wrote in another post that the Final Conflagration is coming. I think he’s wise, and I think it pays to look forward to see which way events in our future history may play out.

Whether it’s a race war, a generational war (which some have mentioned), a class war, or some other combination, I don’t know.

In the book, Rascals In Paradise, there was a man who was prescient enough to see that WWII was coming. He lived in Australia. He wanted to get out of harm’s way, so he relocated. Where did he move? Guadalcanal. It’s hard for us to see exactly how the specifics of this are going to play out.

But, when the Free Shit runs out, make no mistake, the cities are going to burn.

The visual several posts up that shows 1 in 15 black males are serving time would look mild compared to what will happen when the handouts stop. The elite have worked hard to keep as many black males behind bars to keep their population as low as possible. Do they know something about this segment that would warrant that harsh of a penalty, sure they do and so do all of us . Yelling nigger this and nigger that causes discourse, voicing their faults and drains on on this country as a matter of fact will deter this , TRUTH HURTS.

There’s plenty of them as well. I live out in the sticks and white Methheads is what will be coming after me, which I fondly refer to as white niggers.

@ IB,

So, your problem with me is my use of foul language?

Look, I’ll pay you the compliment of being blunt – I still don’t believe 100% that you are who you say you are. That’s not a reflection on you, it’s a statement about how certain folks doppel others, pretend to be neutral 3rd parties, etc, for the sole purpose of insulting someone or faking support for themselves. That breeds distrust.

Anyone can claim cluelessness when it comes to faking an IP address or claim no technical knowledge when it comes to posting pictures, etc. But that doesn’t make it so. In fact, if they do that, it further supports their position when they get a sock-puppet and rage all over someone using those very techniques…

As far as me using foul language, I’ve made the statement before that I can look past “objectionable” language and get to the point of a post, what is being said. If others cannot do that, then that is their problem. Not mine. Placing limits on speech is a tried and true method of thought control and behavior modification, and I refuse to bow to it.

I have little to no patience when it comes to clusterfuckery, stupidity (feigned or otherwise), leftism, Marxism, socialism, hypocrisy, etc. Especially hypocrisy. Nothing worse than someone who talks shit about you for speaking your mind when they more or less feel the same way. As an example, let’s take Han from the other day. Excoriates those of us who are blunt about the race issue, all the while having moved to somewhere far away from those we’re being blunt about… content to lob insults at us from behind the Walls of Whiteopia (or wherever he lives). What a piece of shit. And he is a piece of shit. And yes, I truly hope he dies horribly – the world will be better off without him.

If that offends you, well… shit happens.

And as far as “vile attacks” are concerned, as Tibetan Philosophy states:

“Don’t start none, won’t be none.”

People need to learn first and foremost that they alone are responsible for their own destiny. It has become far too common for the liberal side of the fence to view the government as the responsible entity for nearly everything in their lives. It is not. People largely control their own fate. Every single student – black, white, whatever – decides whether or not they want to learn and how hard they apply themselves. Then when their decision turns out to be a poor one, they cry about it and expect help. Decades ago the response would have been different. If someone realized they made poor choices in life they would take action to change their situation. Today they simply whine to government who is all to happy to appease. The problem affecting people in these situations and communities is not one of racism or discrimination – it is a problem of CULTURE and PARENTING. Plain and simple. Bill Cosby was right.

Achievement gap my ass. If the gap exists there are only two realistic causes given today’s school system in America. Either blacks are simply born less intelligent (which I do NOT believe) or black students do not try as hard in school. One of those two things must be true, all else being equal. I believe the answer is the latter. Identify the cause of black students caring less about their education and you can figure out how to fix the problem.

The “plight” of blacks reminds me of the supposed plight of third world nations. And it is the same reason I choose to not donate to any cause benefiting a third world nation (besides us having enough problems here to worry about). There are people that stand outside my office building most days and try to raise money from people to support building schools, water systems, and other sustainable projects in Africa. They ask me frequently when I go out for lunch. I decline constantly and one of them pushed harder than usual for a reason. I told them that there is a reason after 100 years theses countries still don’t have basic needs covered like water/sewage or 4 walls and roof for a school. They have had literally decades upon decades to play catch up. They didn’t even have to go through the growing pains or time consuming process of technological invention. They can simply take the information and put it to use. But they don’t. Why? Because there are much larger problems for most of those countries. Building a school doesn’t fix a damn thing. These people have willingly chosen this path. They should face the consequences.

One last thought – there are many places in this country that are poor and “underprivileged” (as the apologists like to say) . What percentage of them are white, hispanic, black? How many poor white areas turn into crime-ridden slums? How many black ones do?

In reply to “turc” – Shockley demonstrated (back @1960 I believe) that Negros were significantly less “intelligent” than whites (he used IQ test scores from all US Armed Forces inductees during WWII) and If memory serves subsequent IQ research shows that Asians are the most intelligent ethnic group of all. Stand with Rand and BC-LR to all

I went on vacay right after this and I missed all the fun. All for the better, I guess. Thanks to IB, another one of my endless sock puppets – a very articulate one at that – for keeping score.

Billy, you’ve been too quiet, buddy, if you ever need a reason to blow off steam, I’d be happy to oblige.
