When the shining city is at hand, a special slum will be built for me and my meanness. I will be the person, if that’s what I am, in the slum; there will be one of everything; one rat, one tin can. … I will behave poorly.
— Thomas McGuane, Ninety-two in the Shade
After two double rounds of Democratic Party debates, one thing is for sure: the characters onstage are followers, not leaders, and they’re following each other off a cliff like so many Wile E. Coyotes, while the Golden Golem of Greatness streaks, beeps, and tweets across the buzzard flats below like the fabled Roadrunner.
In an epic and bizarre case of mimesis, the Democratic Party is mau-mauing itself into America’s political slum, complete with a rank-and-file demographic dependent on government largesse and an infestation of bad ideas, like the scurrying rats and cockroaches of the ghettos they pander to so relentlessly. The candidates themselves are so terrified of being a few syllables away from getting branded with the scarlet “R” on their foreheads — according to the rules of Wokesterism — that they blindly submit to any idiotic Simon Says command, such as raising their hands in support of free medical services for illegal immigrants, to signal their racial uprightness and sensitivity.
How are the actual city ghettos and their denizens doing after half a century of Democratic Party rescue operations? Not so well, the Golden Golem averred last week about Baltimore, igniting a firestorm of grievance and objurgation from the political ghetto. Isn’t the point exactly that the people, and the place where they live, are not doing any better despite decades of federal programs, household assistance, affirmative action, and every other attempt to (theoretically) improve their existence? And isn’t the heart of the matter the desperate shame and chagrin of Democrats that none of this has worked?
It hasn’t worked… so, do more of it! That’s the Democratic Party’s neurotic strategy for winning the hearts and minds of this republic. Driving men out of households via the welfare rules that don’t allow “a man in the house,” and destroying family formation wasn’t bad enough. The Democratic party has spent the past three years vilifying and demonizing men and their “toxic masculinity,” and retailing the insane multiplication of “genders’ in a bad faith attempt to manufacture sexual “diversity” — with the net effect of negating all previous understandings of the relations between men and women. Newsflash: that’s not going to work, either.
The shriekings of “racism” aren’t helping much anymore. Few observers have missed the fact that the city of Baltimore has been run by an African American city hall (Mayor, Police Chief, District Attorney) for many years, with over a billion dollars in additional federal assistance. So, if political power is the answer, how’s that working out? Add some extra shrieking about “white privilege” to explain the situation? How does “white privilege” explain the fact that 86 percent of kids in Baltimore primary schools can’t read and 89 percent can’t do arithmetic to grade level? This, despite the fact that at $15,564 per pupil, Baltimore is fourth highest-spending per student of the 100 largest school districts in the nation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Maybe becoming the party of a national race hustle isn’t such a good idea. The race hustle is wearing out its welcome in American politics, and the more the Democratic Party resorts to race hustling as its chief strategy, the sooner the party will go extinct. That is, if it doesn’t incite some kind of civil war first. Cue the cry, “That’s racist!”
Maybe there is a whole range of human values and human behaviors that have nothing to do with race — like reading to small children and helping them learn the English language so they don’t grow into adults who have to say “know what I mean?” every other sentence because they’ve barely acquired enough language skill themselves to know what they mean. Maybe there’s something called an American common culture that contains values and behaviors worth emulating rather than opposing. Maybe “multiculturalism” wasn’t such a good idea after all. Maybe ghetto culture is not such a precious foundation for a successful life. Maybe the Democratic Party should move out of the ghetto it’s built for itself.

When the shitty third-worlders you imported start killing each other, with machetes, in the middle of the street, during the day, in front of dozens of witnesses – just like they do in their homelands.
My goodness there is so much wrong with this racist hit piece I don’t know where to begin.
Let’s start with the abusive portrayal of Wile E. He is the perpetual everyman trying to get a meal, he isn’t looking for a handout. He is singlehandedly the most creative and inventive of creatures it’s a wonder he isn’t an honorary white guy. The roadrunner has free range to run just like the President has been doing since day one. Trump has never stopped running for president. It is a travesty that the collusion of the artists is not addressed in a congressional investigation. Wile E. should have caught the roadrunner long ago. Instead, brother Wile E. is shackled with a storyline that insists on a perpetual negative outcome.
There must be a vast right wing conspiracy to keep us creative ghetto denizens in the low rent district. If only the ghetto dwellers were free to rob and steal everything that caught their fancy, why, they too would be living the life of Trump or Kanye. Why is it that only certain Negroes are allowed to prosper, marry rich white women and sell high priced trinkets and rap “music” to their own people for big money? It’s a conspiracy just like the plan to foil Wile E. forever; to keep ghetto thugs in the ghetto selling drugs and hustling women just to get a nut.
There must be a reason why ghetto folks can’t get a break. Like Wile E. Coyote, they don’t fail but they are foiled. They are cheated by their teachers, policemen, judges, aldermen and mayors. They have tried to modify society to conform to their particular sensibilities and needs; free love, multiple women, lots of babies, color tv’s, malt liquor, and self-repairing infrastructure. Instead, white folks like to lord it over them, pointing accusing fingers and impacting their self-worth.
Ghetto folks need a president that runs on a proposal to Make America Africa Again (MAAA). That’s right, America was once a African colony, we was tribal chieftains and kangs and shit before the white man came over and took our buffalo and beads and shit. The white man put us in these ghetto reservations. We need to overcome and shit. Know what I mean?
That’s some really funny shit right there. +100

Mimesis, objurgation, and averred. My oh my. JHK is on a roll today.
An awesome tear (rhymes with bare).
The Zuni tribe’s origin myth is unique among other Southwest Tribes. They believe the came “up” through the Earth and the different eras in their backstory coincide with layers in the Earth’s core.
There are 13 clans. Clan, as any decent beaner knows, has more to do with the matriarch than the sperm bearer.
The tribe were intended to remain separate, the legend went, because the LAND would return to the “People” and then, the Zuni tribe would return to the ” Center”.
Cool myths. Love the Masked God’s of the Zuni. Quetzalcoatl
Was a favorite, as was coyote and wolfcub.
The last research I saw was an extensive survey of the tribe around 2000. I wonder if the Zuni have cell towers and casinos now?
The freakshow continues, especially in Antelope Valley, CA.
Ivanhoe, I know you are a beaner originally from Colombia. Juan Valdez is now Ivan Valdemort. Nice transformation, idiot. Why not take you burros back to where you came from?

“It hasn’t worked… so, do more of it!“
News flash: it has worked perfectly. Welcome to the machine.
Everyone knows change is hard. No matter what changes or how small its hard and theres a learning curve. What nobody is talking about or refusing to talk about is white change. Whites were driven from living in the city into the suburbs; forced to change and turned the weeds and dirt roads into prosperous neighborhoods. White overcame change more than once. The democrats have for nearly 75 years had ownership and full control over brown populations in the inner city and yet they continue to degrade to the point of buildings falling down. Its not a budget problem. They have been given trillions of dollars to fix the problem. Its not a timing issue. They have had 75 years. Its not a culture or white problem because a huge portion of white people no longer even see color. Its not a govt benefits problem or corp problem since affirmative action and dozens of other opportunities. Then what is the problem? The inner city need leadership. They are such followers and their own racism wont allow good people, whites or even Trump to make them listen to reason and allow help. They need leadership but allow democrats to continue the slums so the dems can get more budget appropriations based on race baiting politics yet the dems allow their families to open a biz and get the govt contracts and steal the newly appropriated dollars. Leaving the voting sheep in the slums decades after decades. The inner city sheeple are too racist and are too low IQ to even see this even when pointed out. The dems literally tell the people this and make their sheep believe its better this way vs the money going to some whitey owned company or ceo or white shareholders that would have certainly profited because whitey would have now fixed the problem. Fixing the problem leaves no free wealth distribution to the low IQ high pigmented skins in power positions placed there via whiteys fear of being called a racist. Lately we have seen Trump call out facts of Baltimore. Even stating facts is now considered racist. Trying to help is racist. I guess the only other option is to give nothing. No more help. No more charity. No more love. No more anything. Whitey needs to John Galt it. Stop spending any money that can in any way help non whites since even your charity is considered racist because they will spit on you when you give and call you racist because your giving is based on your white privilege and your wealth was obtained via slavery therefore you are a racist. Galt had it right. When you stop, just stop, and like in slow motion with clarity you will start to see your butterfly effect and see just how this will all end the same way but you will now gain clarity and just might wake up enough to thread the needle of survival of what is coming. By stopping as a group change becomes noticeable and you can follow that change to see the end game. Although, many of us here already know where this leads no matter.
