The stirring up of anti-white anger in the black underclass by (largely mulatto) Afro elites is unconscionable, and does indeed seem to be spawning a sort of low-grade race war that Colin Flaherty has detailed so well in 'White Girl Bleed a Lot.'</i><br /><br />Future generations may look back at this era as a sort of "Bleeding Kansas" writ nationwide. Thing is, most white people do not seem to realize that there is a low level insurgency going on against them. In this, the liberal mainstream media does its part to conceal black criminality. But we do have the Internet to get the "word" out. <br /><br /><i>Afros' insistence that living around Euros is unbearable, all the while doing everything in their power to stay in white-run countries, cities, schools, businesses...</i><br /><br />Part of it is wanting to be accepted by white people as one of them (us). There are several reasons this will not happen, chief of which is the attitude of people like Mr. Simmermon-Gomes. You can't go around attacking a group (whites) and then wonder why you do not get invited to the parties. <br /><br />It is a fact that blacks mass migrate towards white ruled places. This was seen even in the days of apartheid in South Africa. Or today with Africans heading for Europa and even Israel (haven't they been told that Israel is a terrible apartheid country?). <br /><br /><i>As always, if you want to know what a man believes, don't watch his mouth, watch his feet.</i><br /><br />Amen!Californiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-90104837787104966582013-09-15T09:26:44.182+02:002013-09-15T09:26:44.182+02:00In the 1980s, the Congressional Black Caucus deman...<i>In the 1980s, the Congressional Black Caucus demands harsher laws, saying 'crack dealers are destroying our neighborhoods.'</i><br /><br />I once saw Congressman Rangel on the old Donahue show, berating libertarians for daring to call for the legalization of drugs. Well, Rangel demanded his war on drugs and he got it. How's that working for blacks?<br /><br />This does reveal something about black politics (or perhaps politics in general?). People demand things not because they really want the logical outcomes, but because the demands are a form of agitprop to tear down white rule. i.e., no matter what white people do re drugs, it is de facto anti-black. <br /><br />There may be a deeper conceptual issue: an assumption by black leaders that whites are so powerful they can make drugs disappear simply by fiat without realizing that to do so would require a, well, real war. <br /><br />Might also note that the war on drugs -- demanded by many black leaders -- has seen the destruction of many actual civil rights via asset forfeiture, drug testing, roving wiretaps, no-knock raids, SWAT teams up the wazoo, and so forth.Californiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-7814786989352738942013-08-26T02:10:59.800+02:002013-08-26T02:10:59.800+02:00While M.G. has dissected the West Virginia puzzle ...While M.G. has dissected the West Virginia puzzle rather well, it wouldn't hurt for interested readers to get "Coming Apart" by Charles Murray.

There is a real civil liberties issue here, but what rankles the most, again, is Afros' endless victimization game. They howl that Whitey is racist for doing nothing while young Blacks kill other Blacks. Then when Whitey says OK, and sets up an effective anti-crime policy like stop-and-frisk, the howls start up again. 'How dare you target our young black men!' It would be comical if there weren't so many lives at stake.<br /><br />It reminds me of the whole crack cocaine sentencing debacle. In the 1980s, the Congressional Black Caucus demands harsher laws, saying 'crack dealers are destroying our neighborhoods.' The white man obliges, passing extremely harsh penalties for crack dealing. Fast forward 25 years and boom, down the memory hole--some of those very same Afro Congressmen have the nerve to stand up in public and call 'racist' the exact laws they helped put in place! This cycle repeats itself endlessly, and is one reason racial huckstering is losing its steam. <br /><br />From your second article in the comments, though, a self-identified Afro says:<br /><br /><i>Stop & Frisk is most certainly needed. I was once apart of the problem for a time period that plagued our communities and I am now apart of the solution. In a perfect world you will get perfection but we live in an imperfect world with humans governing it. When you look at the statistics of who is committing the crimes and who are the victims, would you prefer that blacks and latinos continue to kill themselves?</i><br /><br />A rather realistic view of the situation.M.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06817230141673953233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-60719005922033806872013-08-15T22:15:26.706+02:002013-08-15T22:15:26.706+02:00MG, your thoughts please on the following.

To be suspect. I do know what it’s like to be followed by staff in a nice clothing store; to be stopped by police for walking down the street; to endure the thousand micro-aggressions and the hundred fearful looks, the patronising astonishment coupled with quiet indignation at my education or erudition. I know, in other words, what it is to be a person of colour in a world that privileges whiteness.</i><br /><br />Let me state the obvious points:<br /><br />* If he does not want to live in a world which "privileges whiteness" then why does he not move to a country which privileges blackness? Say, the rainbow nation of South Africa, or Zimbabwe, or Haiti, or perhaps cross the border into the USA take up residence in a black majority city such as Detroit? If his father had the courage to migrate to a new country, why is Matthew incapable of doing the same? <br /><br />* Note the use of the Orwellian term "micro-aggressions." He offers no evidence that he is being discriminated against by law, the schools or in employment. Nonetheless, because white people look at him differently than they presumably look at other white people, they are guilty of some thoughtcrime. Presumably, white people must goodthink about black people or are guilty of...something. <br /><br />* Let's assume he is correct. Now what? Should white people have to turn their societies upside down to accommodate this fellow? Do we need even more "diversity" indoctrination, even more hatecrime laws? Do we convert every white country into a police state so he can walk down Main Street without suffering "micro-aggressions?" <br /><br />* And I take it this works both ways? He is going to lecture blacks on stopping their macro-aggressions, such as flashmobbing, gangbanger drive-bys, and torture-murders in their own rainbow nations? Or is this going to be a one way street, as usual.<br /><br />* Finally, if Mr. Simmermon-Gomes is paying attention, doesn't this show that multicultural societies just do not work? That they are going to inevitably become hotbeds of mutual suspicions, racial conflict, and police state measures to keep the lid on things? Or is the problem really his own attitude, his failure to confirm to the standards of a white society?<br /><br />Something to think about as we march into the 21st century...Californiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-274092895152401522013-08-14T20:51:04.100+02:002013-08-14T20:51:04.100+02:00Excellent analysis.

Civil rights legislation? War on poverty? Liberal supreme court decisions? Look at how with Clinton and the Democrats running the show in the 1990s, the numbers of incarcerated blacks rose considerably. <br /><br />I've contended that much of black crime, especially of the black-on-white variety, has a <i>political </i>component. Black leaders themselves have confirmed this, with claims that the urban riots--from the Long Hot Summers of the 1960s to Rodney King and beyond--were really "uprisings" against The Man. We've seen some recent manifestations of this in flash mobs and Beat YT Night at state fairs. And one can extrapolate to the wave of black perpetrated farm attacks in South Africa-Zimbabwe, with ANC minions cheering them on as they chant, "Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer." <br /><br />When you have a nonstop agitprop machine claiming that whites are "oppressors" and blacks are "victims," one outcome just may be a low level guerrilla war in which the "oppressed" strike back. In any event, the race hustlers have little hesitation exploiting cases like L'affaire Trayvon as part of a more general anti-white program. <br /><br />The various civil rights programs just may be perceived on some level as weakness on the part of whites. And as been the case all too often in history, when one group weakens, others move in for the kill.<br /><br />Anyway, keep up the good work.Californiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-19753735918925629732013-08-13T21:02:30.877+02:002013-08-13T21:02:30.877+02:00@M.G.:

You know it's funny, because if...Bonjour MG : <br /><br />You know it's funny, because if we didn't live in BRA, somehow this blog post would seem mean, mean-spirited. <br /><br />In fact, it is not: it is simply the uttering of truth to power, with "power" these days being the sick, dystopian anti-white forces that enable an individual so obviously fraudulent as BHO to occupy the White HOuse. <br /><br />In any case, it's cool to have you back. <br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />- Arturo <br /><br />crimesofthetimes.com <br /><br />ps: I posted on COTT today about an outrageous article published in the NYT Magazine featuring millionaire do-gooder whites uplifting negroes in Africa. Please check it out : <br /><br />http://crimesofthetimes.blogspot.com/2013/08/charity-water-reality-houdini-status_11.html<br /><br />Sadly for these self-same white do-gooders, they will never understand HBD and Never Mind OBD (The One Banana Difference, i.e.: the "pseudo science" of phrenology that sought, as far back ago as the 1830s with Dr. Samuel Morton's "Crania Americana," to explain group differences in behaviour / achievement from a biological standpoint.) <br /><br />It's white-hot stuff, as evidenced by Stephen Jay Gould's "Mismeasure of Man," and the still-virulent reactions that discussion of said tome generates to this day. <br /><br />All Best, <br /><br />- Arturo <br /><br />crimesofthetimes.com Arturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411800265189549526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-61493588777478424252013-08-11T04:05:39.951+02:002013-08-11T04:05:39.951+02:00Holy shiznit, batman!

(You are...Holy shiznit, batman!<br /><br />The babe is back!<br /><br />(You are a babe, right? Don't answer that, I want the fantasy to stay with me).<br /><br />Babes!<br /><br />Much congratz to you and your writing.<br /><br />Also, I think any and all racist White, Asian, or Conquistador White-Latino men (and babes!) will be impressed by one Thomas Sowell.<br /><br />You can't help but think to yourself: There goes a Black MAN.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUbOcgj8AjQAmericanGoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865892490752172185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-38524589173034578732013-08-10T06:22:01.948+02:002013-08-10T06:22:01.948+02:00Your pare background is not a problem for me.Your pare background is not a problem for me.Robert in Arabianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-39222233595049735662013-08-09T12:39:26.538+02:002013-08-09T12:39:26.538+02:00Mustapha--

I'm very interested to hear those Afro ex-pats' stories.<br /><br />Ivan M.--<br /><br />Yes, that same sentiment was expressed by just about every 19th century writer I've read on the subject (as well as statesmen like Lincoln, Jefferson, et al, but that's gone down the memory hole.)<br /><br />Re: the background--I'm a bookworm and thus very attached to it, but I'll think about it. If I were more computer-gifted I would whip up something original, but alas, it is not the case.M.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06817230141673953233noreply@blogger.com
