Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
The occasion of the state funeral for the late George Floyd — rivaling the solemn progress of Abraham Lincoln’s casket across this land at lilac time so long ago — may be a good time for Americans to take stock of what condition our condition is in. Going on a fortnight of protests, riots, and looting, what exactly does black America seek in its cry for an end to systemic racism? Forgive me for saying the petition is vague. I’ll have to tread into realms of discourse that are taboo these days, so gird your loins if you care to follow.
Is there a campaign of police genocide against black people? The facts and numbers say emphatically no. (They’re discussed in detail in many articles by Heather MacDonald at City Journal.) Is it true that “black people aren’t heard?” If you follow The New York Times, America’s “newspaper of record,” that’s all you will hear. Has justice been denied in the killing of Mr. Floyd? Four cops have been swiftly arraigned on grave charges. Are black people denied the privilege of governing their own affairs? Many cities are run by black mayors, police chiefs, and district attorneys where, year by year, social dysfunction has only gotten worse.
Is a substantial portion of the black population not thriving in comparison to whites and other racial or ethic groups? Apparently so. The only truly systemic dynamic in their plight is the campaign by government, ongoing for more than fifty years, to uplift them with social programs, cash assistance, and affirmative action, plus monuments, prizes, and holidays, and very vocal public encouragement from “allies” in media, entertainment and sports. All this “help” only seems to make the problems worse.
It’s beyond obvious after a half a century and trillions of dollars spent that well-intentioned government support destroyed black family formation. Seventy-five percent of black children are raised these days in households without fathers because cash assistance is forbidden where there is “a man in the house.” Everybody knows the problem is generational and severe. Paying unmarried women (often just girls) to have babies can easily be seen as leading to many social disadvantages. Who is militating to change that — say, to allow cash assistance to married couples? Nobody, most particularly black America. Why? Because it’s an established racket, a hustle, a pattern of living, complete with customs and rituals, such as giving over young black men to prison as an initiation to manhood. Why are they sent to prison? Because they commit crimes.
The bamboozlement over this was especially vivid last week in the contrast between the sanctimony of the daytime protest marches and the nighttime looting, vandalism, and arson, of which there are hundreds of videos on the web, showing young black Americans acting like savages. The police all over America didn’t dare try to stop it lest they produce a new martyr to aggravate the insurrection. No plea arose from leaders in black communities across the land to stop the disgraceful behavior. It was not even recognized as disgraceful, rather regarded as a necessary ceremony for purging the bad feelings over George Floyd’s gruesome death at the knee of Derek Chauvin.
Why not try succeeding at school rather than prison? School has different requirements. I will venture an idea which is not just taboo, but taboo to an extreme: many black children cannot succeed in school because they do not speak English correctly at home and the schools have, as a definite policy, done nothing to correct that because it would be labeled as “racist.” If your language dispenses with grammatical form — such as the difference between the expression of past, present, and future — you’re liable to suffer cognitive disadvantages which results in doing poorly at school. You may even be incapable of showing up on time for anything.
The number one job in elementary school should be teaching children first to speak English, because without it, they’ll struggle to learn anything else. But we’re not interested. It might hurt someone’s feelings to learn that their speech is deficient. It might anger a parent to hear that. So, we choose to let the children fail. It’s a choice we make by consensus. Here’s some news for you: multiculturalism is itself a form of racism that ghettoizes language. Do you want that to continue? Are you really interested in change? Change that. Start there.
This points to a deeper and more fundamental question: Does black America really want to fully participate in our national life, or do they want to remain an oppositional faction within it, dependent, resentful, and violent? The George Floyd fiasco has distracted the country from the most severe economic crisis of the century, so far. Do you understand how much thought and effort it will take to reorganize America’s economic life? We are not going back to the way things were before the year 2020. A lot of familiar arrangements will not continue. Comforts and conveniences are phasing out. We don’t have time for histrionics. Can we please just respectfully bury this troubled man and get on with the tasks at hand?

Black DNA is different from any other race and is incompatible with modern society. THERE, I’ve said it.
Blacks are saddled with the biblical “mark of Cain” which is a primitive way of stating that blacks sprang from a different pre-humanoid “root”, and as such cannot grasp concepts such as freedom, individual rights, planning for the long-term, responsibility for one’s own actions, and other human concepts. Such thinking is not possible for blacks, their DNA being “wired” differently. On the human scale, they are children who need a firm hand and guidance to function in society.
Even Thomas Jefferson KNEW that blacks and whites could not co-exist peacefully, their DNA being so “different”.
Blacks are incapable of looking out for the long-term; the farthest they look is where the next meal is coming from.
Not having invented the wheel, no metalworking capability, and the inability to extract the great wealth beneath their feet, despite living on a continent with the richest and most abundant natural resources.
Planned agriculture is out of the question as the capacity for blacks to think long-term is nonexistent.
Deep down, blacks do realize that they can never compete with whites, (although they will never admit it), especially when it comes to technology or public administration (governments).
However, their massive egos, and their lack of their ability to think logically and technological inability gets in the way.
Nah, even chimpanzee DNA is not that different from white . The human species began in Africa and spread from there.
Chimps have 98% of the same DNA as humans, with 2% different.
But the 2% is why we go for the stars, and they from tree to tree.
It’s little things that count.
The devil’s always in the details…

Black people that I know and associate with belie every point you state.
Many blacks prove them, certainly.
I hate it when someone accuses “all”.
They’re not “all” like that.
Using absolutes is fools game.
Only if you are too foolish to know how to use them.
I agree, yet they do have way more idiots as a group. Feral is a term often used describing the young troublemakers and it is an excellent description. When you have unmarried parents, the confusion of numerous half brothers and sisters, all with different aunts, uncles and grandparents mixed with deprecation of study and achievement unless it is rapping about bitches and ho’s or slamming a basketball, you have feral youth with no clue how to live.
When I was a little kid in the 50’s the Black people spoke pretty much like White people. The mush mouth southern flavored accent was not heard in Chicago or NYC.
They should be the group angriest at Progs and do-gooders who destroyed their community.
For all the harm Planned Abortionhood does to the world one has to wonder why it is that blacks seem to be the targeted demographic for sanctioned fetal murder. Or why blacks refuse to see that. Not saying anything new-some questions just have a way of answering themselves.

Paul: “They’re not “all” like that”. Absolutely true. Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, the list goes on and on (but sadly the list is not long enough).
Why is it there is a small percentage of Blacks who do defy the common stereotype of “useless” blacks?
garyd: And don’t give me that “almost all DNA is the same” bullshit. Pit Bull DNA is hardly different than Golden Retreiver DNA. Which breed will you buy for your kids to play with?
Another Andrew Anglin acolyte joins the fray, yay!
Good point. That small difference in DNA could be critical, when combined with certain social factors. I was referring to Anarchyst’s implication that black DNA diverged from white way before humans came along.
The pit bull. You’re too stupid to be in this conversation.
The outliers aren’t worth the problems caused by the rest.
Precisely the entire point.
Stereotyping is a necessary survival strategy honed by millennia of evolution.
Rather than ensconding themelves in White society, the outliers should live among their own kind leading, policing, teaching, disiciplining, and otherwise helping their fellows to improve their lot.
When forced to live together, Whites resent that Blacks do not or cannot live up to White standards, and Blacks resent that they are expected to meet what they perceive to be alien standards.
Once in a while, you make sense…
I hate when people are too stupid to process the knowledge given. How do you suppose we deal with the problem that it is “not all”? That is an irrelevant point. They don’t come as individuals, they come as populations.
Ken
Same with Jews. They’re a package deal.
They don’thave to compete. Their middle class lifestyle was given to them by whitey as directed by ((( them))). How many middle managers were given an office and a title to fulfill diversity requirements? Of course it takes a white person to follow up and mitigate the disasters in their wake. This fortnight has caused me to be done. I’m all niggered out. I used to have empathy for them as it was drilled into my head all my life but I just can’t care anymore.
Testament to your theme: worked for Big Company, Incorporated, that had some AA employees. There was a guy on our softball team-we’ll call him “Joe”-tall and strong dude who was a good basketball player because of his height. He would not typically get too involved in after game festivities, so when he was not there the inebriated conversation would eventually get around to: “What is it that “Joe” does all day long?, or What does “Joe” do, anyway?”. No one knew what “Joe” did to earn his keep, other than be aloof, keep his mouth shut, and play the AA game. There were a few others like “Joe”, though none as accomplished at producing no visible results. Funny thing occurred to me years later: the first level managers-who were complicit in allowing and forcing this to happen and were likewise not all that competent-really were no different than the pandering politicians of today.
Same w/ a whole bunch women is such positions too. Complete incompetence. Many got there and maintain on their knees. Just saying.
How can black people have the “Mark of Cain”? Race of Cain was wiped out in the Great Flood.
Probably meant the curse of Ham who was involved in bad actions when his father Noah was drunk after the flood.
allegory?
Zulus were smelting iron and making high quality steel long before the ever saw a white man.
What’s your source for that info? Were you there?
It’s readily available information. Zulu iron deposits had a very high nickle content which made superior weapons. Were you there to disprove it dipshit?
Readily share it here. By your own claim this should be easy for you to do
yes, they were, in Wakanda. Good for you to notice.
TBP has some of the most intellectually lazy pukes and mealy mouths on the planet.
Zulus are Bantu. A 2 minute search provides gigabytes of data on Bantu metalurgy. If I was a nigger I would loath your sorry asses with good reason. If they have an IQ of sub 80 in Spliverville, what does that say about you idiots.

The good old stabbing or thrusting assegai.
And then they made high quality shackles for their high quality neighbors, which they intended to sell.
Ever wonder what it would be like had Obama Sr. not died early?
Yup, right next to the (((vibrainium))).
I saw that black panther documentary too…..
I’m in Minneapolis.
My theory (supported by evidence) A large percentage of Blacks have about an 85 IQ. But there is another component: When you can’t reasonably read / write / math – you can’t make logical decisions.
The net result is that they lack ’cause and effect’. This is why they ‘act up’. They don’t realize actions have consequences. Such as a ‘drive by shooting’. They can’t project into the future.
These people shouldn’t be dictating anything.
That’s what I’m talking about, Dutch. Morons like Huck Finn get radicalized by Anglin and they come in with the same yada, yada talking points we already got from Billy and my buddy Yokes. I would rather some personal observations rather than instant programming.
They’ve been allowed to get away with so much for so long, they know the consequences are a joke.
You’re being mighty generous with the numbers….
I’d knock down at least 10 to 30 points for a more accurate spread….
YMMV
Read “The Bell Curve”.
I must disagree with your assumptions. I know several black people who are quite successful and the common denominator with each of them is their parents were married and lived together raising their family. They were taught respect, hard work and were raised (and still active in) church. Discipline is what is lacking in the black youth of today.
That you know several good blacks does not gainsay that most blacks are genetically incapable of functioning at the same civilizational level as most Whites and Northeast Asians. Lack of discipline is a function of culture which is downstream from bioloogy and evolution. It is unfair and unkind for all parties concerned to force distinct races to cohabitate.
If we wanted to fix the crime problem in America, I believe we could take all of the black boys away from their mama’s after they are weaned and put them in a family situation where rules are enforced and the Bible is taught. Within a generation, we would have eliminated the source of 1/2 the violent crime in America.

22. A serious question, what do you think about Romney and his bowing to blm?
Trying to make Utah proud?
22, I was also wondering something: Did Harry Reid wear magic panties, too? I don’t get what they’re all about. Is it that cold in SLC?

Useful idiot after all
Wow, Kunstler, you’ve really stuck your foot into it this time! Congratulations. Truly, in the case a race, nothing succeeds like failure in this country. Rest assured, whatever “solutions” come out of this current unrest will be variations of what already exists, championed by boobs like Joe Biden, who can’t even keep his own son away from the nose candy and hookers. Expect more commissions staffed by paper shufflers, more payouts to race hustlers posing as community leaders, and more tearful celebrations of the lives of petty criminals, accompanied by the re-naming of streets and public buildings.
Maybe it’s time for ED-209
A while back I was in a line at an airport. There were 2 young black boys talking behind me. I couldn’t understand a word they were saying except for the muthafugger word. I thought who would hire these people? No one, as it turns out.
George “E.F.” Soros would hire them in an instant.
Soros Rent – A – Riot…..
Look up “Crowds On Demand”. It is a real company that rents “protesters”. It would be interesting to see how much “Crowds On Demand” have in our present riot situation.

With names like D’Shauntavious and Le’Toilet who would want to hire them?
The names are funny but the crap like face tattoos are probably why I wouldn’t hire them.
Latrina
George’s mom’s name is Larcenia – as in larceny. Can’t make this up.
Wife worked pediatrics in a local hospital. One lady had twins and was enjoying the hospital food. So, the boys were named Orangejello and Lemonjello.
Another thought Placenta was a pretty name.
And with that, I am done.
After Trump, there will be no more Orangejello’s. Maybe a Grapejello?
Purple Drank….
Please tell me your joking.
And now they are wearing masks, making it even harder for these 70 year old ears to understand what dey be sayin.

Wrong thread
Maybe Blacks just want what the wetbacks want … everything — for free — now — and forever …
And wetbacks do NOT want to assimilate — hence US public schools paying out million$ every year to celebrate mexican independence day (independent from whom? Certainly not US).
Read Heather McDonald if you want to learn about all the other stuff the wetbacks demand-and get-from the American taxpayer. The Mexican government has perfected the art of coercion when it comes to squeezing stuff out of school districts, governments, as well as the judicial system.
If you have a Hispanic demographic in your area go to your local library and see if they have a collection of Spanish language comic books. Mine does, and a librarian friend told me off the record that it is specifically provided for the young adult male audience.
And that is why I grow my own lettuce.
Keep ’em coming, Huck Fingler, your on a roll. What’s next, anti-Jew propaganda?
“…your on a roll.”
Sorry, EC, it’s “you’re”.
Unless Huck is using a hot dog bun as a sofa
I don’t know what he’s using Anthony Aaron’s hotdog for.
Nobody needs anti-jew propaganda. The truth about them is utterly damning.
“what exactly does black America seek in its cry for an end to systemic racism?”
an end to law. an end to whites. and free stuff.
To be President, to have a white woman, and to drive a Cadillac.
Several white women, Anon. Black men are not monogamous. Hey, I got that info from Sister Shahrazad
Or as Earl Butz once famously said, “Loose shoes and tight pussy.”
Don’t forget the “warm place to shit” line.
It is a Mercedes these days, caddies are old school.
I believe it was to have a white ho’, a loose fittin’ pair of shoes and a warm place to shit. Now you wid it.
“Black america” is racism by construction
That answer has already been given elsewhere; Rhodesia and South Africa.
They want to be in control, that’s it!
Yes, and Wakanda will be the result…not Liberia, Zimbawe, or Oakland. LOL.

Where’s Frank Rizzo when you really need him?
oh,
go over to the naked police thread–i posted an article about frank rizzo over there–
Un-fucking-believable.
As a fitting memorial to this bottom feeder, they put a loaded gun to the belly of a pregnant woman in his honor.

I guess no one remembers the “good” old days of segregation and separatism. It wasn’t that long ago that restrooms, restaurants, hotels, swimming pools, etc., were segregated and that was the law of the land. That system worked for many decades. If there were riots, such as the Tulsa riots in the 30s, they were quickly dealt with, forcefully if necessary, and life resumed.
What happened to that system? Who was it that agitated to change that system into a multicultural cesspit of inter racial marriages, miscegenation, affirmative action, casting the indigenous whites as the purveyors of evil against the non-natives that inhabit this land?
Ask yourself this question; Cui Bono? Who benefits? Who were the original agent provocateurs that lit the fuse of racial strife and have been relentless in destroying our society and race through racial violence and mixing of the races?
The black race has for all intent and purposes been recruited to be the fifth column foot soldiers that lead the attack and will most likely sustain the highest number of casualties in their coming assaults against white neighborhoods.
The end result of that confrontation will most likely be martial law and even more tyrannical mandates handed down from the overlords.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, uh, I mean back in their counting houses, those perpetrators of evil, the destroyers of races and civilizations, the perpetual blood-sucking parasites smile in derision and wring their greedy hands, while anticipating enormous profits from their plans of destruction and the untold suffering that will be wrought. They intend to bleed this country white, and then discard the lifeless carcass without the slightest compunction for doing so.
They are the original proponents of unlimited illegal immigration and welfare aid to those who come here illegally. Their Ponzi style debt/usury fiat currency system requires constant expansion and new debtors to be brought into the fold, in order to perpetuate the myth of prosperity, through their magic money printing machine.
This could perhaps be tied to the fact that history has shown this brood of non-assimilating vipers have been expelled from 109 countries. Don’t you think maybe they might have done something wrong?
When battling the beast, strike not at the flaying tentacles, but at the heart. Those lurking behind the curtain with that smirk of contempt all over their despicable mugs are the real perpetrators. You’ll know them by their fruits.
Well said!
Again, well said Panzer. As you likely know it all began @ Genesis 3:15, but hardly anyone believes that anymore. It’s referred to as the Battle Between the Five-Pointed Star, and the Six-Pointed Star (Star Wars) by those True Children of Yahweh who know and follow His Covenant Message.
BTW, for those clueless, the Six-Pointed Star is not the Star of David. David never had a star. That star with the six points is the Star of Molech. Do the research on Molech. While you’re at it research the origin of the Five-Pointed Star and who it represents.
And, yes, I well remember the days when segregation and separatism kept “situations” well in check … and, the day Rosa Parks – labeled by our very own Congress -“the First Lady of Civil Rights” climbed aboard the city bus in Montgomery and the racial fuse was lit.
A sound investment in education for the brainwashed would be an in-depth study about the origin of the slave trade and those perpetrators that were the financial backers and instigators, along with a brief dabble into why they were kicked out of 109 countries. These are the children of Cain, the authors of all the evil in the world since Yahweh had that original discussion with Satan and Eve in the Garden @ Genesis 3:15.
I actually do believe we are in a civil war. It is not a political war, but a cultural civil war (as all civil wars are at heart).
As has been said by many, most people want nothing to do with wars of any kind, they just want to be left alone to conduct their private lives. However, most normal people do have a culture of some type, so in a cultural civil war, they are by default on one side or another. Most people do not really know what side they are on, but by asking and answering a few question, they and others can get a good idea of just where they are.
Those questions include:
1. Do you attend church regularly?
2. Are you married with children?
But I believe the overarching and most important question determining ones cultural class is:
3. Do you use marihuana?
It is this latter question that really divides people, and has for a number of decades. Why is this? It is because the use of weed actually changes ones mind and thinking. One can not think rationally when ones mind is regularly steeped in THC. It is simply not possible. This, more than anything else, divides this country into those who think rationally and those whose thinking is based on fantasy.
This is the cultural divide, and we are in a cultural civil war over this divide.
The results of this cultural civil war are unknown, but what history shows is that rationality has survival value.
You posted this same exact bullshit yesterday. Stop it. I will post my response to your marihuana statement of yesterday:
Paleeze. My son was hit by a drunk driver 2 years ago and had a severe brain injury. He has not slept well since. We have tried everything, and I mean everything. Supplements up the ass, HBOT, name it. The only thing that has worked is medical marijuana. He has a card from the state and now gets good rest. It hasn’t changed his thinking at all, in fact, has made it more clear due to more sleep. Right, the cultural divide is based on the sins of mary jane. What a douche. And that’s not even addressing the freedom issue. Let everyone do whatever drugs they want, freedom man. My body is my choice, you are the authoritarian tyrant.
And weird, because my friends have been calling me Richo for 35 years.
THC is the very least of our problems.
Never in history has one group of people been as bent over backwards as white Americans have been for blacks. They get first pick at the best paying jobs due to decades of systematic racism via affirmative action and racial job quotas. They also get white women, both voluntarily via liberalism and involuntarily via the 12,000 or so black on white rapes while there are near zero black women raped by white men. America’s worship of the most divisive, destructive demographic needs to stop, now.
Indeed, at least when parents actively embraced the presence of Asian kids (of all national backgrounds) in their schools, it was because they knew the parents pushed their kids hard, their kids were smart, well-behaved, and worked like crazy in school. Their presence would no doubt push their own kids harder.
