In Defense of Stereotypes
The College Fix ^ | September 11, 2013 | Jason Morgan

Posted on 09/12/2013 10:17:20 AM PDT by reaganaut1

Delbert Belton. Chris Lane. An unnamed 13-year-old boy riding a school bus in Florida.

What do these people have in common? They are all whites who have been violently assaulted by blacks recently. And on Mother’s Day of this year, 20 people were gunned down in New Orleans by Akein Scott, also black. All of his victims were black. Not white-blacks or white-Hispanic-blacks, but blacks.

Alas for these departed souls, unless you attract the narcissistic attention of Barack Obama, you’re unlikely to get the maudlin media mourning mash-up that Trayvon Martin received as a reward for beating George Zimmerman’s face into the concrete. Without a cue from the Telepromtered One, the television shows do not reveal the racial motivations behind crimes committed by non-whites. The talk show hosts do not fight back stage tears when the music turns somber and reflective. When the snake charmer’s flute is silent, the cobras don’t rise out of the basket to strike. Everything is copacetic, and it’s almost as though the slaughter and thuggery in black America don’t even exist at all.

Instead of a simple reporting of facts, what we get from the panjandrums at the New York Times and CNN are lectures on our desire to know the facts–scoldings for drawing natural conclusions from a preponderance of the evidence. This is not only one of many common themes of the media narrative–it is the defining characteristic of nearly the entire industry.

I am surprised that the author is a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Stereotypes; I don’t make ‘em, I just point them out.

Uh Oh! This person ought to be careful. It could well be open season on them at school; considering all the deranged liberals that no doubt surround them. To paraphrase and old saying “Hell hath no fury like a liberal who has his/her talking point shattered”.

Cue Big Media’s black race-baiters whining about the “disproportionate representation” of their peeps in prison.

Of course, they never point out the fact that blacks disproportionately COMMIT crimes, that’s why there’s more of them in the Crowbar Hotel.

Well, the “consumer protection” department is making it nearly illegal to fore lose or collect bad debt from minorities. How long before they make it illegal to arrest them?

That’s foreclose - spelling “correction” isn’t.

‘All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life.
All those things you fought against as a youth, you begin to realize they’re stereotypes because they’re true.”

Here’s another:

TACOMA, Wash. — Detectives are trying to track down the men who robbed and murdered a (middle aged white) Tacoma man last Saturday in a downtown parking garage.

....

Both robbers are described as black men in their late teens or early 20s. One man had a light complexion and was wearing a white shirt and dark pants.

After reading this article, there is only one conclusion I can draw.

Jason Morgan can kiss that PHD bye bye.

Years ago, at least ten or eleven, I read an article in The Onion called “Stereotypes Are a Real Timesaver”. I laughed out loud then and still lol occasionally when I recall it now. It’s worth a google for a good chuckle.

That op-ed, though a little long for most publications, is as well written and well reasoned as anything I have read on NR or Breitbart. I hope it winds up in wider distribution, though as others here have noted it might bring attacks on the author from his commie professors and colleagues at the University of Wisconson.

It looks like he has recognized a pattern.

Somewhat long, but well worth reading.

Being this realistic can get you fired from National Review, as John Derbyshire can attest.

Stereotypes are generalizations.

The ability to generalize is a survival skill.

I always maintained that stereotypes do contain some truth to them, be it a little bit or a lot as the case may be.

There are approved stereotypes and disapproved stereotypes:

Well, it is in the deep part of the reptilian and limbic systems in our brain. It is where if there is a different tribe, group, species, if you will, that is not a part of your group or are unknown to you and your group, it is natural to be aloof and distrusting until it is satisfied they are not a threat to you or yours. If they post a threat, you rumble. It is a survival skill, hate to sound like a Clint Eastwood movie but there are two choices, "Quick or the Dead."

Making decisions based on data, observations, and experience... why that’s just crazy talk!

Great piece. Stereotypes don’t make up themselves.
