The Price Of Cotton

Guest Post by The Zman

If you are over the age of forty, the current black riots seem like another bad remake of a bad movie from your youth. You can appreciate how the young and stupid may be fascinated by it, but you know it is just pointless destruction by people who are over indulged and terminally ungrateful. The whites involved, and there are plenty, are just ridiculous people playing make believe. They are reenactors dressing up to play a role they read about in their grievance studies classes.

Further, you know what comes of it. There will be lectures from the servants of the ruling class about white privilege and the legitimacy of black rage. The so-called conservatives will grovel and plead. There will be some candlelight vigils tossed in so the politicians can perform their public acts of piety. It is the same old story remade by decreasingly plausible actors. Meanwhile, normal white people just see their tax for being white go up yet again. It is so tiresome.

All of it, even the sense of exasperation by normal white people, is just a way to avoid the painful truth about America. If the plantation owners had simply paid European workers, even Chinese workers, to pick the damned cotton, none of this ridiculous drama would keep happening. These riots, like all previous riots and pretty much the last seventy years of American history, is just the price of cotton. The tax paid by white people that never goes away and goes up every year.

While that may be a pithy way of putting it, the truth is the endless racial strife is the result of the Yankee conquerors not dealing with what they had done. Then as now, the Yankee moralist was long on proselytizing, but short on conviction. They wanted to end slavery and enjoyed killing white people to do it, but when it came time to address the question of what to do with the freed slaves, they abandoned their pulpits and left the issue to future generations. It remains unresolved.

For going on a century now, the story of America is the endless proselytizing by the usual suspects about the problems they have created. The greatest social construct in human history is the African-America. This a concept for a people who are neither African or America. These are a people who are totally dependent on white people for their survival, but bred to hate the people on whom they are dependent. It is a cancer the country gave itself and refuses to cure.

If after the Civil War, the North had setup a reservation for the freed slaves in Florida, none of this would be happening. Sure, Florida would be Haiti right now, but no one cares about Haiti, not even the descendants of those proselytizing abolitionists who stalk our culture today. Florida or whatever made up African name the locals gave it, would be at most, a sad curiosity. Americans would leave their doors unlocked, stroll around their inner cities and have normal car keys again.

We have reached the point where the good and decent white people of the country will be forced to do two things they will not enjoy. One is do away with the proselytizers and their damned pulpits. That means overthrowing their morality in order to overthrow their moral claims on our collective consciousness. Good people are going to have to be rude and angry. They will have to tell the scolds they don’t care about racism and they don’t care about the feelings of black people.

Those same good white people are going to have to tell black people, most of whom are kind and decent, that it is time for a divorce. Generations of trying to make race relation work has been a failure. There are no more options left to try other than peaceful separation. Whatever the cost of implementing the divorce must be paid as it is less than the constant tax on white people for events that happened over a century ago now. It is time we go our separate ways.

This is ultimately the price of cotton. Like the cost of cheap labor today, the cost of slavery is paid by those who never wanted it and never benefited from it. That’s always the cost of cheap labor. The employer gets the benefit of the cheap labor and society it gets the bill. In the case of black slavery, generations of white people, many with ancestors who came over after the Civil War, have been paying for the decision to use Africans to pick the cotton.

Divorce is never pleasant. The married couple that goes down that road is sustained by the thought of what comes next and the relief of not being burdened by the other. That is what we must do now. Focus the mind on a world without no-go zones, a time when it is unnecessary to ask the realtor about the schools and read their face for the truth, a day when the purple faced loon is not screaming at you about your privilege. The divorce will be hard, but it has to be better than this.

Actually the slaves that were brought to the “New World” were NOT the “best and brightest”, but were dregs from the various tribes that their leaders wanted to get (and be) rid of. Internecine warfare also played a factor in the slave trade.
What better way to obtain “trinkets and baubles” while getting rid of those who were causing problems?
Troublemakers, ne-er-do-wells, criminals, mentally retarded and just those who fell out-of-favor in their respective tribes were sold off, an advantage for the tribal chiefs..
It was a “win-win” situation for the jewish financiers, ship owners and auctioneers, and those who initially needed “muscle” (farm implements).
It was a “win-lose” situation for the future generations (and the rest of us) as we are living with this sorry, dysfunctional race, putting up with their very different “habits” and idiosyncracies to this very day, due to their very different DNA.
In every case, even with the “talented tenth” who were supposed to uplift blacks and prove that blacks could succeed in white-run society, blacks have proven to be abject failures.
Black inability to conform to white societal norms is proof that they should be segregated and eventually returned to their own African societies.
It cannot happen soon enough. Let’s start with segregation and end with repatriation. We would all be better off.

So, in my upstate capital city of smallbany, a bunch of peace-nicks got together to have one of those “let’s hold hands and protest, and stuff” events. it was in a park, in the afternoon, they got permits, the cops observed, it was over in an hour. then, after dinner, a bunch of them decided to re-group downtown, in front of city hall.

While these putzes were working the “unauthorized” gathering/protest at city hall, the real natives and mudsharks surrounded the south end police station, and started throwing rocks at the cop cars, and then at the cops, and this was followed by people on roofs lobbing all sorts of crap (molitovs, brick, etc).

The hilarious female mayor and her HNIC cop got on the TV the next morning (interrupting fox news no less) and gave the exact same speech as every other figure in every other town where this shit went down:

“it was not our local people who caused this trouble, is was outside agitators, professional protestors”

They tell the cameras that crowds of strangers descended upon their town, from “someplace else” but provide zero evidence, like say footage of people unloading from buses, or in these modern times, license plates of outsiders collected by all the cameras installed for red lights, or even on the thruway.

no evidence, just a repetition of words, all repeated from the mouths of democratic run city officials.

these people live in a land of make believe, where the fault always lies with someone else.

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.,.,

Lyndon Johnson in his great society programs knew that he could muster the votes of black America and even told if I remember correctly Senator Richard Russell of GA that they would be voting straight ticket for democrats for 200 years if they passed them. When Dr. King was assassinated the goals and objectives went from “help” to early reparations. Although this term was never used it was the new objective.

Programs began spinning out of the government left and right that once they got started it did not end. All the while the black community was not required to make any progress or headway in self sufficiency and responsibility. A great example is the 8A small disadvantaged business opportunity program within the government where large programs have “cut outs and set asides” for specifically small minority owned/disadvantaged companies to get business and get a leg up. They had 10 years to learn the ropes and then they were on their own. Most of these operations gave/sold to a family member and the clock started again.

Bottom line is that when these you have 13% of this nation living off the government with no end in sight they lose any self respect and have no stake in their own future. It is easy to see why they riot….not demonstrate. But now we have Antifa which are the professional rioters who are been deployed and supported by the elites (think Soros et al) in an attempt to gain even more power. Hitlary was supposed to be the crown jewel in their take over and it failed.

Now they are doing anything and everything to get any form of power back using COVID and all of a sudden killer cops to give themselves another chance at a bite of the apple. Black America is again deceitfully and despicably being used for someone else’s ease, comfort and pleasure.

I asked my buddy Mark from Detroit why he carried a knife on his belt. He said it was a negro deterrent. My buddy Ricardo from Honduras said that blacks will run away once the knife comes out. My buddy Leonard from New York said that the saying was, a gun can miss but a knife won’t.

My old boss used to kid about Mexicans always carrying a knife. I was impressed to see a knife store in downtown LA; in the window, it had an impressive variety of knives, some with mother of pearl handles and one that caught my eye for originality was a 12″ pair of scissors in the shape of a knife.

They are afraid of anything that might equalize a fight. Iv’e never seen anything like it and the first half of my life from 13 onward was violence between various peoples. All the other groups will fight with nothing if needed and won’t run. They may back out slowly but not run. Asians, Latins, Jews, Pollacks, but not blacks that Iv’e encountered. These videos we are seeing is typical, not rare. I have no idea why and I’m sure some spliv lover here is going to tell me they aren’t all like that.

In my 65 years I have witnessed this behavior by blacks over and over . Somehow I am expected to not blame the people I see looting burning and rioting and somehow see fault in some abstract alternate reality “BULL SHIT”!
Opportunities in education , job training and affirmative action set asides for jobs have been handed to blacks costing trillions with dismal results at best !
About 20% of blacks in America can function in American society the other 80% lack the IQ to do anything worthwhile . Regardless how much money you ram up their collective asses . This is because intellectually blacks are a sub species of human incapable of existing in a modern civilized society !
South Africa is a perfect example of total failure and no its not apartheid’s fault ! Apartheid was preventing societal collapse .
You have to know white people who’s families existed there since the 1700’s and successfully managed to immigrate to the US .
The story they lived through and tell is far different than the fabrications of politicians and news media leftist sacks of shit !

White America is less racist than its ever been. The refocus on race started ratcheting up under Obama and the media has continued to push it for the last twelve years. Plenty of uneducated folks are wired to run on emotion instead of logic and this is where we end up.

File the damn papers for the divorce today!!! 70% of the damn whites in the US are pussies themselves. They would probably pick cotton for blacks if someone called them ‘racist’. It is sickening beyond description. Just give us real whites a couple of states and in 5 years the rest of the shit hole country would be begging to get in.

When the general society refuses to face facts, this crap is what you get in spades, pun intended.

And it gets more costly every year. Now there is actually talk of $14 trillion that should be paid in reparations for slavery. It gets wackier all the time.
