Derbyshire doesn't do the really obvious racist stuff -- the stuff that goes up at FreeRepublic.com, for example -- like post photos Obama in stereotypical tribal garb with a bone through his nose.

Andrew Sullivan must be giggling himself sick.

That train left the station long ago.

But, I suspect giggling wasn't the sole cause.

You aren’t very good with statistics, are you...

Derbyshire points out:

“As with any population of such a size, there is great variation among blacks in every human trait (except, obviously, the trait of identifying oneself as black). They come fat, thin, tall, short, dumb, smart, introverted, extroverted, honest, crooked, athletic, sedentary, fastidious, sloppy, amiable, and obnoxious. There are black geniuses and black morons. There are black saints and black psychopaths.”

However, if you believe in playing the odds - and many mathematicians do - then his advice is worth following. Mostly. I don’t believe in making friends based on what they can or cannot do for your career.

He probably should have added that much of what he wrote applies primarily to black youths, around 15-30.

Happy Easter DJ.....

Yea, I think most people are frustrated and angry these days with our government and it shows if you’re working with the public. Most are testy and demanding now.

Have a good day....He’s Risen!

If I made the center of my politics the fact that I am part Norwegian, and tried to get Norwegians to vote for me on that basis, and they did in mass, then I should certainly expect cartoons of me and depictions of me dressed in Viking garb. If I were this Norwegian-American politician, and their were depictions of me as a Viking then I imagine I would probably get a good chuckle of of it.

If race wasn't an issue put forth by Democrats on a constant basis than no one would even think of depicting him as an African native. Besides, I thought African-Americans were very proud of their African past, so what's the big deal? The big deal is likely that these "leaders" constantly ferment trouble, look for offence and love to cause racial tensions. They play people worst natures against each other so as to divide and conquer. They spread hatred like manure on their fields of political ambitions, which are to lord over people, spread immorality and destruction and also to rob us blind. They are very likely knowledgeable disciples of Satan.

There is a reason the Trayvon Martin case made it into the national spotlight a month after the actual shooting. The Democrats and their newsroom allies saw an opportunity to energize the black Democrat party “base” while at the same time diverting attention away from the failing economy and oppressive gas price increases.

It happened like magic!

Two BIG problems with the strategy:

First, they pulled the trigger (no pun) too quickly. Their timing on this thing was nearly as pathetic as their timing with the “occupy” thing (remember the “occupy” thing, from last Fall?). By the time the white ignorant chattering class starts paying attention to the upcoming election - - for them that is around the middle of October - - the Trayvon story will be played out and old, little more than a bad memory. Too old, in fact, to generate the kind of white guilt the rats relied on in 2008.

Second, the Trayvon story may very possibly produce a white backlash. Even the white ignorant chattering class will eventually get fed up with being demonized and lectured to by the likes of Al Sharpton.

Then he spent the rest of the column focussing on blacks in a negative light. It was one long string of BS that in no way reflects the conservative value of respecting individuals and judging people as individuals, not as a stereotypical member of some group. One thing is certain: if Louis Farrakhan had written a similar article, no one here would be defending it.

He focused on what happens, not due to biology, but due to the culture of black America. Not INDIVIDUAL BLACKS.

What happens when 75% of all children are born out of wedlock? What happens when society actively teaches a subculture that whites are oppressing them (not unlike what the Tuscon school district teaches Hispanics)? What happens when the lowest males - those who cannot hold a job & who are often criminals - are supported in doing most of the breeding?

If you select dogs for low IQ and aggressiveness, what will you get?

His point is NOT about the genetic inevitability of blacks. ANY subculture that follows this route - including Mexican Americans, or the low-class whites of England - will see the same result.

Black men are roughly 7% of the US population, but 39% of all prisoners.

“On June 30, 2006, an estimated 4.8% of black non-Hispanic men were in prison or jail, compared to 1.9% of Hispanic men of any race and 0.7% of white non-Hispanic men. U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics” - Wiki

Is that due to racism in the justice system, or are young black men criminals at significantly higher rates? If the latter, how does that impact someone in a strange place who wants to stay safe?

What happens when thug culture is celebrated rather than condemned?

And remember - black America by far bears the brunt of this! The large majority of murders done by blacks have black victims, frequently in cities dominated by black politicians.

If you have daughters, and want to protect them, this statistic from Wiki’s “Rape in America” is significant:

“In 2005, out of the 111,490 cases involving white victims, 44.5% had white offenders and 33.6% had black offenders, while the 36,620 black victims had a figure of 100% black offenders, numbers of white offenders were estimated to be negligible (extrapolated from a sample size of fewer than 10 instances).”

If you want to advise your daughter on how to avoid rape, that is ONE of the statistics she ought to know. The others are:

“In the United States the use of drugs, especially alcohol, frequently plays a part in rape. In 47% of rapes, both the victim and the perpetrator had been drinking. In 17%, only the perpetrator had been. 7% of the time, only the victim had been drinking. Rapes where neither the victim nor the perpetrator had been drinking account for 29% of all rapes.[6]

Over two thirds of all rapes occur in someone’s home. 30.9% occur in the perpetrators’ homes, 26.6% in the victims’ homes and 10.1% in homes shared by the victim and perpetrator. 7.2% occur at parties, 7.2% in vehicles, 3.6% outdoors and 2.2% in bars.”

“One factor relating to this is the misconception that most rapes are committed by strangers.[30] In reality, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 38% of victims were raped by a friend or acquaintance, 28% by “an intimate” and 7% by another relative, and 26% were committed by a stranger to the victim. About four out of ten sexual assaults take place at the victim’s own home.”

The REAL RACISTS are those who make excuses for this black criminal behavior. These statistics are not written in stone.

“A study of 1880 family structure in Philadelphia shows that three-quarters of black families were nuclear families, comprised of two parents and children. In New York City in 1925, 85 percent of kin-related black households had two parents. In fact, according to Herbert Gutman in “The Black Family in Slavery and Freedom: 1750-1925,” “Five in six children under the age of 6 lived with both parents.” Therefore, if one argues that what we see today is a result of a legacy of slavery, discrimination and poverty, what’s the explanation for stronger black families at a time much closer to slavery — a time of much greater discrimination and of much greater poverty?”

The state of black America today is the responsibility of President Johnson, and all the liberal democrats who encourage and applaud illegitimacy and welfare. White society in America is behind black America on the timeline, but the trend is in the same direction. If not reversed, all of America will someday look like Detroit...
