Guest Post by The Zman
For at least thirty years and maybe longer, conservatives have dreamed of turning the black vote against the Left. Few projects have consumed more of their energy and few have been as fruitless. The herculean efforts put into convincing American blacks to vote Republican and support conservative causes have made things worse, but they keep trying. In fact, the whole topic is now one of those idiot tests. If you are a conservative who thinks it is possible to get some of the black vote, you’re an idiot.
Conservatives courting the black vote is one of those things that suggest the Official Right really is a controlled opposition, deliberately playing into the hands of the Left. Nixon, who hated the Left on personal and ideological grounds, was the guy who came up with the Southern strategy, supposedly a secret racist scheme to win white votes. He managed to get 32% of the black vote in 1968. Ronald Reagan, who actually did a lot to help black people in America, simply by being competent, never cracked the 10% line.
In fact, the Republicans have been unable to break through that 10% barrier for the last forty years, despite investing billions into burnishing their anti-racist credentials. They have worked so tirelessly to win black support, that the meme DR3 is now a hoary chestnut on social media. Yet, look in the comments of a post like this about Candace Owens and you can’t help but wonder if something is being put into the water of middle-aged white people, causing them to turn into DR3 zombies.
The strange way in which older whites seem to be hypnotized by the race issue is not lost on our Progressive rulers. The Washington Post is now running puff pieces on Candace Owens and her Blexit racket. The Left needs conservative fanaticism on the anti-racism stuff in order for it to remain a useful weapon. The Owens racket reinforces the argument that racism is the worst thing ever. All of those dopey white people crying and clapping at her antics are a barrier between orthodoxy and realism.
Reading through those comments in that Breitbart post, it’s tempting to think they are mostly fake, as they read like the sorts of things alt-right people post to mock Baby Boomers. Given the age in which we live, it is entirely possible Breitbart is seeding these Owens stories with fake comments. America is a no-trust society now, so it is always prudent to assume what is being presented is false in some way. Breitbart used to employ Ben Shapiro, who is now an established pen for hire, so anything is possible.
The fact is, the black vote itself is slowly becoming irrelevant. The official narrative says Obama won on the strength of the black vote in 2008, but in reality he won because conservative whites couldn’t stomach that nut McCain and Progressive whites were over the moon in love with the magical black stranger from over the horizon. White liberals were so giddy about Obama, they held Obama parties on election day. Rank and file liberals really thought he was the messiah. That’s why he won in a landslide.
In 2016, Trump got just 6% of the black vote, but he got a lot of white people to vote, who had thrown in the towel on Conservative Inc. Hillary chased that black unicorn around the country, hoping to get blacks out in decent numbers. While she was doing that, she was ignoring those Bernie Bros, many of whom switched teams in the general. What 2016 demonstrated is that the black vote is not worthless, but the cost of increasing your share of it exceeds the value of it. Courting the black vote is a net negative.
You can see this in the numbers from the last election. Steve Sailer long ago pointed out that the better investment for Republicans was to court the missing white share. This is probably even truer for Democrats. There are millions of ignored votes sitting at home every election, waiting for someone to court them. Yet, both parties are allergic to the idea of going after these voters. Even Trump has now decided to abandon these voters, the very people who put him over the top, in order to chase the unicorn.
Anti-racism has become the opiate of the masses. One hit of it and the user falls into a self-righteous, self-satisfied stupor. That’s what these Candace Owens performances are for the attendees. It’s like an opium den for middle-class Baby Boomers. They come in, get a strong hit of the black unicorn and suddenly feel free. They are no longer burdened by the blood guilt of racism. Owens is a shrewd grifter, who used to mock these people, but then she learned there was more money in selling them the black unicorn.
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Secular messiahs have to deliver the goods at some point. Blacks started to lose interest in Obama when it became clear he was not going to deliver the good. Owens will never be able to deliver the absolution her fans crave, so it stands to reason they will eventually figure out they are being had. On the other hand, the unicorn works best on the weakest minds. It may be that they can never break free of it. They will find a new dealer when Owens moves onto something else.
From the perspective of the Dissident Right, it’s probably best to treat anti-racism like methamphetamine. It’s just a thing that is out there, that must be avoided. There’s no eradicating it, but you can warn normies about the danger. At the same time, when a friend takes a hit and starts off on a life chasing the black unicorn, you cut ties and hope they come to a peaceful end. There’s no point in trying to help them or get them into a facility, as there is no way back from chasing the black unicorn.

Great work, Z. Blacks vote their wallet just like everybody else. Most successful black families have a founder who came up through the school system or the Post Office. When are you talking about destroying those employment systems that have welcomed black people you are never going to get the black vote. Another forum I participate in, (The Conservative Treehouse) is loaded with people who love that hit of black magic. If they can find a video of a black person extolling the virtues of conservatism they find it intoxicating beyond anything in the physical world. It’s so fucking silly.
Or the military.
Actually, blacks are dependent on big daddy government for welfare and jobs. They are the ultimate big government voting block. AND they are the ultimate victim group.
Comment from “bad billy” at another site:
We should have picked our own cotton..
Anon, that is an old meme. Smart people do not repeat this stupid meme, it is liberal dogma in disguise. That is the SJW springboard from which the idea of black reparations takes off. The logical flaw is that it assumes all whites had slaves back then. Are you certain that your relatives lived in the South and had slaves?
Simplisticly, if our ancestors were more self sufficient and left the Africans where they be we all would be better off.
Logic, at times, is a bitch, ain’t it?
That logic and stupidity are not mutually independent is clear.
The reason racism has become a hot topic is because we have ran the experiment. The experiment was equality – spend Trillion$ of dollars for welfare, to lift these people up, to give them opportunities. What did we get? Ghetto’s, baby mamas, baby daddies, Escalades with spinners, drugs, drive-by shootings, violence. Then we spent more Trillion$ in an attempt to educate these creatures. What did we get? Well in Detroit, 50% of the adult population is functionally illiterate, and half of those have a high school diploma.
The results of the experiment: nothing is going to help 85% of the niggers. They are too stupid / violent / non-thinking. It’s obvious – look at all the cities they have trashed. The niggers are pissed off that it’s been proven they are a hopeless lot.
But it seems to be an extremely successful method of transferring wealth.
So there’s that.
a measly 100B more.

He can spend $100B on a welfare program but he can’t spend a couple of bucks to build a wall? Shows where the damn priorities are.
The results of the experiment
A fairly effective proof that the founding father significantly over estimated when they counted niggers as 3/5 of a person.
“… but in reality he won because conservative whites couldn’t stomach that nut McCain and Progressive whites were over the moon in love with the magical black stranger from over the horizon.”
I believe it was much more the latter. I can’t imagine any s0-called conservative voting for Obama even if they couldn’t stand McCain. Everyone on the right with half a brain new Obama was nothing but an empty suit, affirmative action, Neo-Marxist.
Some of us wrote in a candidate. Others said “fuck it” and stayed home. I’m proud to have never voted for McCain. Wish I could say the same about Romney.
I held my nose for Shitstain, but the next time they did that to me, with Robot Romney, I wrote in Ron Paul. Because fuck Romney all day long. I could use that guy to keep my beer cold.
Being a Repube is akin to being a battered spouse. Next time, they won’t beat me. If I’m a better supporter, they won’t hurt me anymore. This time, it will be different…
Oh, and there’s never going to be a black conservative movement. They know there’s no place for them in the Repubes. They’re slaves in the Dummycrat camp. Even Klinton said Obama would have been fetching him coffee a few years earlier. But they know they got no place with the Repubes. They got nothing in common and they’re never going to get over their preconceived/accurate notions of each other.
Human beings have specific hungers and desires that drive them. When they are unable to satisfy those drives one way they will necessarily fulfill them another. If one is dying of thirst for example and all that is available is urine or seawater, people will attempt to satisfy that thirst by drinking those liquids regardless of the long term consequences.
Americans made several miscalculations in their social development over the past half century or more. By turning away from God and the concept of a higher power, and by association, judgement, we found ourselves looking to fill that void with whatever most closely resembled God’s judgement as well as His love. The only alternative was the greater power of the State and it’s divine scripture, The Narrative. The problem with this, much like choosing to consume saltwater, is that the consequences of making that substitution in error was pathological. A state and it’s narratives change over time for reasons of political expediency and changing demographics. They aren’t rooted in truth or absolutes, but on compromises and temporal necessities. What one day was considered the law of the land could change in a matter of years to become anathema. Most normal organisms adapt themselves to their environment quite well, but to radically alter those environments in short time spans causes a great deal of stress, often leading to a maladaptation and systemic failure.
That’s what we’re seeing. The armies of the obese are people eating foods that offer no nutrition and so their hunger tells them that they are starving and they continue to feed it increasingly larger amounts of non-nutritive feed. People starving for truth and judgement living in a world without God seek either to silence the conscience through drugs, sex, and alcohol, or search for an equivalent morality to replace Him, often the values system promoted by TPTB- anti-racism, feminism, open borders, etc.
The people advocating a race neutral world are every bit as much Puritans as those first colonists that inhabited our shores. It is a belief in a system that offers no evidence, that must be accepted as an article of faith and adhered to despite the fact that no evidence for it’s existence exists beyond the The Narrative itself- a modern form of scriptural truth. Those who promote it know full well that there is no satisfaction, no nourishment to be found in the belief, but that the human desire to believe is so strong, absent something authentic- like God- they will feed upon it as if it were what their souls longed for. They have become spiritually corpulent on an empty diet of platitudes and fiction.
Nailed it. Again.
Well put.

HardScabble,
Your writing is high class for sure. The PROBLEM is it is too high brow (I’m not being negative). Those who could benefit from your written thoughts simply would not understand what you’re saying. What a waste.
Permission to reprint please. This makes want to plagiarize.
Everything I’ve ever thought or written came from someone else. All I’m doing is paraphrasing, feel free to share it if you think it’s worth sharing.
Doc Pangloss said there is nothing new under the sun. If you reword something, it can’t be called plagiarism.
I think if you reword “shit hits the fan” to “fecal matter impacts the rotating device…” then you should be taken out behind the woodshed and summarily executed.
Same goes for idiots who are uncomfortable with the word fuck and substitute with fook, fuc*, f**k, etc. They should be whipped and then shot.
FH, got cabin fever bad today?
Eggs Over Easy, I live in Cali. Winter only leaves us housebound a couple of days when the snow is 1/8″ thick and they close down the roads. We have had what you might call Spring since early January. It’s been raining pretty steady since February, once or twice a week.
Heard on the radio about a caller who wanted to leave Delaware to come to Cali. Beaners are finding out that it’s cold back east.
You are freaking nuts.
You’re 100% correct about the obese. Grocery carts are filled with poison, garbage that’s light years away from real food. When I see young men loaded up with frozen pizzas, TV dinners, chips, pop…I want to shake their fucking heads.
Every time I’m in the store there are always several dozen folks driving these electric carts and generally they’re obese and their groceries are death. A slow painful death. Our bodies are miraculous but Lord, they gotta have the proper fuel.
I want to ask them why if they’re so intent on a long, drawn out & painful death, why not just put a gun in your mouth and end it. Or when I see men!! buying soy milk or tofu, why don’t they just mail their fucking testicles in.
A perfect example would be the Democrats fuss in the past week between the Somali congresswoman and the Jews. There’s a dynamic there, that is natural to both sides. They hate each other. Yet liberal Democrats can’t believe that electing Muslim congresswoman doesn’t cleanse thousands of years of hatred. They’re Muslims. They hate Jews. And then there’s Jews. They hate Muslims. If your coalition wants to include both, you’re going to have some fireworks. And it’s going to be hilarious for the rest of us to watch
A “no trust society” is no longer a society.
Trump is being suckered into believing that blacks, Jews and Latinos will magically start voting GOP. Sad.
I’m not entirely sure about that. He needs to get about 1/3 of the Hispanic and Jewish vote, so some effort on that front makes sense. Being seen making entreaties to blacks probably has more to do with negating the racism charge enough to give whites permission to vote for him.
Hispanics more likely to go with T, Mexicans (and other Beaners) no. There is a difference-ask any true Hispanic.
Z’s final 4 words linked to Steppenwolf’s version of the snowblind chasing black unicorns in pursuit of personal sacrifice via self-immolation.
However, one wonders if perhaps Black Sabbath’s version might have provided a tad more satisfaction?
Blacks make up about 13% of US population, but have abortions at about 2 to 3 times the ratio than other racial groups in the US. There have been about 50 to 60 million total abortions since 1973, depending on whose stats you believe. About 19 or 20 million of these abortions were by black women. Given the current state of criminal activities, social deviance and general unrest regarding blacks in the US, which is statically verifiable, I’m thinking Margaret Sanger had the right idea. I’m not an abortion supporter and think it should be left to the potential parents to decide. But what would we be facing socially and culturally (and criminally) if we had 20 million more black in the US than we already have, and all of their progeny? I rarely, if ever, hear of anyone bringing this up as the BIG “what if” elephant in the room issue regarding how we would all be affected if black subculture is America became like white culture in the US and reduced having abortions to the same as other racial groups. Whites are currently the largest racial group but will not be in the next 40 or so years, per statistics. How would/will political elections, politicians and social issues be affected? If you think its bad now, just wait, without the necessary corrections, its gonna get a lot worse. Prepare accordingly.
