Guest Post by The Zman
Way back when I still had a cable sub and still watched television, I was watching an episode of Red Eye, the late night Fox News show, and the topic was crime. One of the guests was a black libertarian, who said something along the lines of, “In order to have a sensible discussion about crime, the first thing we have to do is put aside the issue of race.” All of the nice white people on the panel fell all over themselves agreeing with the black, of course, mostly because they were grateful that he let them off the hook.
My recollection of my own reaction was to wonder why they would bother talking about crime at all, if they are not going to consider the primary element. After all, net out black crime from the statistics and crime is not an issue we bother discussing. Sure, Hispanic crime rates are significantly higher than white crime rates, but they pale in comparison to black crime figures. The only people worried about white crime are white liberals, who like to tell each other scary stories around the fire pit about their trip to Walmart.
People on our side of the great divide tend to think the people in charge deliberately obfuscate on the race issue, because of nefarious motives. It’s tempting and there is no doubt that we are ruled by sociopaths, who enjoy lying to us about everything, not just crime. Still, a lot of people have simply lost the ability to talk about race. They have become so fearful of the issue that it has taken on magical qualities. Just as Jews are prohibited from speaking the name of God, most white people fear saying “black.”
This weird New York Times op-ed reminds me of that.
When they staged a “die-in” at Stroger Hospital in Chicago earlier this year, Delmonte Johnson and his friends — who together formed GoodKids MadCity, a group dedicated to ending violence in urban communities — had a straightforward request. They wanted what their wealthier, whiter, more suburban peers already seemed to have: freedom from the oppressive fear of being gunned down in their own neighborhoods.
Mr. Johnson, a 19-year-old who loved to sing and dance, who was an athlete and a budding social activist, will not get to see that vision realized. He was shot and killed Wednesday after playing basketball near his home.Mr. Johnson’s death was tragic and unnecessary and enraging. It was also the sort of death that’s become far too common in America, and in particular in Mr. Johnson’s hometown, where more than 2,000 people have been shot so far this year, nearly 400 of them fatally. While mass shootings involving high-powered guns and high death tolls have claimed an outsize portion of the nation’s collective grief — and its headlines — street shootings like the one that killed Delmonte Johnson are far more common.Mr. Johnson, who lost several of his own friends to gun violence, knew that fact all too well. His own advocacy emerged in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., in February with the hope that some of the attention captured by that massacre might be cast toward communities like his — communities that are underserved, overlooked and routinely plagued by gun violence. “We have been screaming for gun control for the longest time,” says Carlil Pittman, a friend of Mr. Johnson’s who co-founded GoodKids MadCity. “But it’s not until it hits other communities that people pay attention. And then they respond with harsher laws that criminalize black and brown kids.”
As everyone knows, guns stalk the streets of our city. For some reason, the government just let guns walk in over the border, unmolested. In fact, they have programs to help guns come in to the country and gain residency. It’s as if the government wants guns to come here and kill people of color. If you did not know better, you would think that the people in charge of government care more about guns than American citizens. When will people wake up and realize that we need a big wall on the border to keep guns out of the country?
All kidding aside, you have to wonder how it is even possible to write about “gun violence” with a straight face. To a sober minded person, it seems impossible for anyone to believe such nonsense. That’s why so many in 2A community think it is deliberate and well considered lie. A multi-generational conspiracy sounds more plausible than people thinking guns magically cause black people to shoot one another. Sadly, that is what the people who write this stuff think. They think blacks are compelled to violence by guns.
The murder problem in Chicago is a problem easily understood with a bit of math and a little bit of race realism. Put a lot of black people in an area and they will start shooting at each other. Chicago has a lot of black people, so it has a lot of murders. The city is roughly 32% black, 32% white and the rest Hispanic, Asian and a mystery. Of the 405 homicides this year, as of this writing, 330 of the victims have been black. Just 26 have been white. Just 48 have been Hispanic, who are over 25% of the population.
Now, it is possible that there are gangs of white supremacists roaming the streets killing black people in all black neighborhoods. It’s possible that these white supremacists are so skilled that no one has ever seen them. It’s also possible that a gang of leprechauns are terrorizing the black neighborhoods. All things are possible if you wish hard enough, but the most probable answer here is that the victim rates reflect the crime rate. That is, 75% of the crime is being committed by 30% of the population, the black population.
Again, sober minded people understand this. The trouble is, we are not ruled by sober minded people, at least with regards to race. They really do believe that race is a social construct and that astronomical black crimes rates are a symptom of social inequality, racism and poverty. Rather than Old Scratch tempting the villagers into sin, there is now this mystery force called “whiteness” that is like swamp gas, rising from the America’s long racist past. In other words, black crime is a spiritual problem, not a practical one.
For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an interesting experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black people and working-class whites.
The hypothesis to be tested: Can a people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?
The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements. Acting on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed black people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.
Decade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted. They created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.
Their new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to black schools and vice versa. They tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless handwringing to close the “achievement gap.” To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race. They hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No to Racism.” Nothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.
Some thought that what W.E.B. Du Bois called the Talented Tenth would lead the way for black people. A group of elite, educated blacks would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what blacks were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the black Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.
Through the years, too many black people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them. Detroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and the vast majority of black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And blacks never take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment.
Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away. The white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, and more opportunities.
But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many black geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president. Some argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.”
But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India-people who are not white, not rich, and not connected, have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, black “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime-crime, which includes viciously punching random white people on the street for the thrill of it that has nothing to do with poverty.
The experiment has failed. Not because of culture, or white privilege, or racism. The fundamental problem is that white people and black people are different. They differ intellectually and temperamentally. These differences result in permanent social incompatibility.
Our rulers don’t seem to understand just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment. They don’t understand that white people aren’t out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, and the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity.
The elites explain everything with “racism,” and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.,.,
Doesn’t it seem like we could all agree to find another way?
Maggie, There is no “other way”…
The whole “civil-rights” movement was a massive con job. Blacks were coming along just fine on their own. They would have progressed further on their own merits instead of being given “help” with phony “affirmative action” programs, quotas and other preferences.
Forced “public accommodation” statutes, anti-discrimination, and “desegregation” laws did much to “poison the well” of true “civil-rights”. Adding to that, utilizing federal troops (military) to enforce illegal “desegregation” orders against whites was in itself, illegal and unconstitutional.
Unlike every other race, it is only us whites who are prohibited from forming groups that promote our own white interests.
The tide might be changing…there are black college students who wish to live in segregated residence halls. Even blacks realize that voluntary segregation is not a “bad thing” and should be encouraged. Let’s hope that this movement can be nurtured and encouraged. Let’s restore true “freedom of association” for all.
There are no affirmative action race quotas. Just ask any HR department.
Except, there are.
Women should have never been given the voting franchise. Before the feminists come out in droves, hear me out.
During the time of slavery, the slave owner or his overseer would “introduce” themselves to their newly-acquired slaves by punishing one male slave brutally for committing a minor infraction, in front of the slave women. After witnessing this, slave women did everything they could to keep their male slaves in check, making the male slaves “behave themselves”. They did not want to see their brethren punished, so they exerted much control over the slave community. This is one of the oldest “psychological tricks in the book”, and was used to good effect by slave owners..
Fast forward to the present-day, where black males use the oldest trick in the book to procure white women–guilt. “You won’t date me because I’m black”–the proper response SHOULD be “That’s right, I don’t date outside of my race”. Instead, weak-willed white women fall for the “siren song” of “racism” and submit themselves to blacks, destroying their genetic future in the process.
I realize that there are good, strong-willed white women out there, BUT there are too many who are not.
The voting franchise should be limited to property-owners, heads of households, current and former military and veterans, those who are financially responsible, and retirees. Excluded would be those on the public dole.
You will not get any argument from me on this point anarchist. I understand how Jeannette Rankin (first Congresswoman before getting the Vote!) was used as a tool and then how womens suffrage became a pathway for Communist propaganda against the family.
The family is the true cornerstone. Without it, nothing stands.
That was a well written and cogent comment.
It must be my crazy dopple then because Pompous Ass and pals have convinced me I am completely batshit looney tunes.
And you lost your opportunity to discuss with me on TBP the path I choose to take regarding full 100 percent disability with the Veterans Administration.
Fools rush in, WIP but he who hesitates is lost.
I have quite a story to tell. And sell.
Taking a cue from Hamlet and acting looney tunes?
“white frustration could soon reach the boiling point”
so then what happens?
Whites get over cooked and die?

I was in OKC for the Murrah Buidling disaster, too.
In fact, I had started back to school down at Norman, learning to be a journalist. That day, I was attending a big lecture hall with and old news guy named Mac talking about hunting down stories on the beat in New York after World War II.
It was a golden age of journalism.
I stood up and interrupted Mac. He nodded and let me speak.
“Professor? What has happened in Oklahoma City today? I just got here in time to catch the shuttle to c lass. Has one of the Federal Buildings been attacked?”
Anyone in that lecture hall remember me asking that question? Well, if you kind of do… that was me.
Pruitt-Igoe kneegrow public housing being demolished in St.Louis in 1973.
After Pruitt=Igoe was demolished the niggers spread all over the county and ruine Ferguson among other places. They forgot to lock the niggers in before they blew the buildings up.
“I was in OKC for the Murrah Buidling disaster, too.”
You might be a jinx.
You are so absolutely correct. Only a complete ideologue (Obama) could disagree.
I voted this comment up. My only edit is that our rulers DO understand and they don’t care. They don’t care because it is part of the plan. You can not do what they want and have a strong white race, period. They want to make everyone ‘brown’ and detached from any real culture/history. Then they can do as they please. Some will add to this by saying it is a Jewish plan and that is partially correct but the real plan is Satanic. It is a death cult and we see that vividly now with Trump’s election and the Left’s reaction. They are plainly insane. We are getting closer and closer to some sort of ‘end’ or final ‘act’. Maybe it’s just the Fourth Turning but it feels like more. The stakes seem higher and alternatives have stark differences. Most of us just want to live and be left alone but that is not ‘allowed’. The other side seems perfectly content to destroy everything in order to ‘win’ because they are. They are crazy and it has a lot of implications, all of which are bad.
I know Satan does not win in the final end but getting there is a hell of a ride I would rather not take.
That penultimate paragraph is a treasure. Well written piece!
So much truth it would surely be banned off social media.
Damn, Anarchyst, that was magnificent. Checked all the boxes with well thought out reason. Too bad lefty is incapable of figuring it out.
“It’s also possible that a gang of leprechauns are terrorizing the black neighborhoods.”
They have been reported.
Trying to integrate a species that never built a library, never had a recorded language, never built a 2 story building and couldn’t figure out the fucking wheel, just seems a little problematic from the get go. That racism shit is some powerful juju.
“Hispanic crime rates are significantly higher than white crime rates, but they pale in comparison to black crime…”
they pale in comparison
Slip of the pen?
chuckle
In other articles Hispanic crime rates are on par with black rates, it’s hard to tell if we are really progressing; if we are advancing or simply moonwalking.
Of the 405 homicides in Chicago this year 330 of them have been black. Does anymore need to be said? Of course if it were not for Whites allowing the guns to be brought in. Same nigger s**t. Same nigger excuses.
Interesting wording. Black crime actually is a spiritual problem. It is born from the spiritual enslavement of blacks by whites (via welfare) and jews (via ownership and control of the proliferation of gangster hip hop garbage). Obviously there is some crossover here, plenty of jews pushed the welfare state, and there have been plenty of white recording industry gatekeepers, but the overall point remains.
The Black race undoubtedly has genes from several Jungle Hominoids (eg Homo erectus) that are much older than Neanderthal. Those genes give them more primitive development (shorter gestation, earlier sexual maturity, greater monthly ovulation rates, lower IQs, etc) and “animal” behaviors which cannot be eliminated by culture but can be dilated genetically over generations by White and Asian genes.
The only explanation for the preponderance of niggers being murdered is that the KKK and the police are doing it. How else could things be so out of balance? You know it is the white mans fault.
For “Coasters” and “CitYzens”: CHOOSE to remain such, deal with the increased odds of ultimate displacement/debilitation/death consequence – be it natural disaster or [criminal] social/political engineering. Simply considering the urban “mileu” in terms of increased taxation/gov repression, filthy air, and loss of One’s precious time stuck in lines/traffic should be pause enough to consider an “inland, rural, [much more] SIMPLIFIED approach to [this] “manifestation/life” – especially in view of a looming “r/K or entropic reset”, engineered/catalyzed of otherwise.
