The FBI is helping search for two vandals that put a noose and an old Georgia flag around the neck of a statue of the first black student at the University of Mississippi. A $25,000 dollar reward is being offered for information leading to their arrest.

Now, I understand that the act was immensely offensive. But is it more offensive than groups of blacks running around playing the knockout game? Or black flashmobs? Is the FBI investigating those incidents?
The fact is, no one was hurt. It does not even sound like the statue was damaged. I am unsure what law might have been broken, as the article does not specify. It is illegal in some states to show a noose in a threatening manner. I am not sure that this qualifies as a threatening manner, as who was being threatened? Or was it a display of disapproval about segregation?
It seems to me to be overkill, and far in excess of what the crime – if indeed there was one – justifies. But any perceived slight against blacks by whites is national news, while daily rampant crime committed by blacks against whites gains nary a mention in the press.
But the most absurd thing about this is that the FBI is investigating. No damage to the statue, no one hurt, no direct threats reported, but the FBI is investigating. Damn, that is truly incredible.

It is remarkable how closely the observable behavior of races over the long haul tracks their measured intelligence. Arrange all the visibly distinct groups in descending order of measured IQ. Next to each put its contributions to the arts and sciences; its great civilizations present or past; its mean family income; its rate of criminality; its Nobel prizes and its scores on the GRE, and their representation in demanding universities without affirmative action. Each of the clear disparities can be explained away, yes. E.g., for many centureis Germans were primitive while Italians and Greeks flourished intellectually, and Brazil only recently started designing airliners. Yet the aborigines never did anything. This is not probative, but highly ssuspicious.
Political and social consequences flow from apparent or, more likely, real differences in intelligence. For example, the Chinese are hated in Indonesia and Malaya, as have been Jews in countless places, because of consistently greater success in things requiring brains (such as making money). (An excellent book on this is World on Fire by Amy Chua.)
If no such differences in IQ existed, those around the world who produce and pay taxes might reasonably tell their welfare classes to stop being parasites and do their part. If on the other hand some groups are genuinely dim, the problem changes. You cannot blame people for being what they were born, and you cannot expect them to do what they cannot. The social-Darwinist approach—“Scratch, dog, who can, and the devil take the rest”—is cruel. If some cannot function, or find work, in a rapidly automating economy with high endemic unemployment, what do you do? To make matters worse, those who cannot compete intellectually tend to develop a cultural aversion to the whole idea.
It is when when gradations of intelligence and hence of prosperity correlate closely with visible distinctions—for example, when north Asian students in California swamp Berkeley, greatly out-performing Caucasians—that anger arises. If dull-witted whites live in broken-down trailers in the pine barrens of the South, no one much cares. But if American Indians, racially distinct, live similarly on reservations, it is a political issue. And that is what we face, no matter how hard we pretend otherwise.
I wonder if the first black at Mississippi State Penitentiary got a statue in his honor as well?
BTW, have the booger eaters at the FBI noticed the Miss. flag fer’ chrissakes..

I, for one, am so happy the FBI has their priorities straight.
The FBI Mortgage Fraud Task Force has yet to investigate, no less indict ONE banker for the $13 trillion mbs fraud – pension heist.
And, we’re now approaching day 300 of the IRS targeting of conservative tea party groups. Not much action there, either. The FBI has not questioned ONE of the victims of this massive abuse of power yet.
Benghazzi – no, nuthin there either. Just 4 Americans dead. What’s the BIG deal?
How about Fast & Furious? Dead border guard, hundreds of Mexicans murdered with the weapons the FBI distributed to criminals south of the border. Nothing to see here people, move along….
If there are ANY FBI agents left with an ounce of integrity – you guys should hang your heads in shame. If you are hanging around, watching the FBI act as Obama Stassi and telling yourselves this too shall pass – think again. The former USA is heading south on a sled.
And if you are just biding your time until retirement, in the mistaken belief that you will get a fat federal pension – wake up. The US Treasury stole Federal workers pension money to keep the government afloat last year. The US hit the debt ceiling May 2013. They used your pension money to keep the lights on, and replaced it with an IOU.
So, good luck to you.
you know there is like five felonys here you don’t know exist
and you gotta keep in mind graffiti and marking of territory is only allowed in lower class neighborhoods by ethnically challenged individuals
Goes to show which side of the battle the Feds are on in the race war. This will, of course, result in civil war. The Feds are already preparing for it. They have national guardsmen practicing to take out 2nd amendment patriots, and other terrorists that support the constitution. Which further shows the Feds are planning on further marginalizing, ignoring, and destroying the constitution. The Feds are hypocritical beyond belief. The FBI is a joke, doing Obama and Holder’s bidding, the new SS of the USSA.
Balz, hypocrisy and ignorance abound. Our would be masters will learn what “of, by, and for” means.
