Irony knows bounds: Black Crime Claims Life of Apologist for Black Crime

David Ruenzel knew, better than most, about the white privilege that killed him.

As a writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center, one of this favorite topics was rooting out racism. And how white racism is permanent. White racism is everywhere. And white racism explains everything.

This mantra of the Critical Race Theory and the Southern Poverty Law Center applied to all white people because, even if they were not personally cracking the whips, or breaking the skulls, white people benefitted from a racist system that did all that — and a lot more.

Ruenzel was writing about white privilege for the Southern Poverty Law Center as far back as 1997 — long before it became the rage at college campuses, newsrooms, churches, high schools and even grade schools.

By the time of his death, Ruenzel had accumulated many of the trappings of the white privilege he exposed: The job. The home. The intact family. And most importantly in his case, white privilege endowed Ruenzel with an expectation of safety in the Oakland neighborhood where last week two black people are suspected of killing him.

Hey, we've been told that black-on-black murders are none of our business, so I don't really care about them anymore. Same goes for this guy.

This reminds me of a story I read about an animal rights activist/wildlife photographer who had been taking pictures of a momma grizzly and her cubs out in Yellowstone Park. At first, the bears had backed away when he was there, but after a few weeks they seemingly became more comfortable with his presence.

According to his friends, he'd been documenting this bear family for about a month, every day moving a little bit closer to the bears. His friends said he told them he thought that he and the bears had become "friends", so he was in no danger.

One day, the bears, using their less sophisticated-than-this-animal rights-weenie binary logic, finally figured out that unlike some of the two-legged creatures they'd seen before, that this human was not a threat, so he must be food. So, they ate him.

I must admit, I laughed my ass off when I heard about it.

That's kind of how I feel about this story.

Most Downs kids have a stronger sense of morality than a lot of geniuses that believe their intellect justifies them breaking a few rules in order to advance a greater good.

Actually, it's a good number of those self-exalted "geniuses" even on this board who mistakenly try to extrapolate the simple matter of one's skin color to an inherent inclination to commit crime.

Through their own practice of the tyranny of lowered expectations they themselves are responsible for perpetuating broad misconceptions peddled largely by today's liberal class:

"Blacks can't do this, or that, because they are not capable, or able, or skilled ... "

"Blacks can't seem to learn. Let the elites order their ways for them."

"Blacks have low IQ's = blacks have a propensity for criminal activity."

"Black can't do anything productive without some (usually) white self-important liberal standing by his side telling him what to do, as that same liberal parcels out his allowance."

"Blacks commit crime because they are 'less evolved' than those whose skin color has less melanin."

Statements such as these typically come from flawed Darwinian assumptions based as they are on writings of Wallace and Darwin (Darwin particularly in his "Decent of Man") and parroted in fashionable academia by contemporary evolutionists like Huxley, Haeckel, and others of their clearly bigotted acolytes and eugenists.

Absolutely simplistic, and a deceptive misrepresentation on so many levels, yet strangely some calling themselves conservatives around here buy into the liberal academic pap as perpetuated by a liberal media culture as well as the psychobabble of those calling themselves "Intellectuals."

Coddling ANY defined subgroup of human beings in a way that causes them to become dependent on another for their subsistence merely exchanges one form of overt slavery for another regardless of one's skin color.

Consider the writings of Booker T. Washington, who wrote not only the famous, Up from Slavery, but also wrote in My Larger Education, Being Chapters from My Experience(1911), in chapter 5 "The Intellectuals and the Boston Mob":

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public...."

"My experience is that people who call themselves "The Intellectuals" understand theories, but they do not understand things. I have long been convinced that, if these men could have gone into the South and taken up and become interested in some practical work which would have brought them in touch with people and things, the whole world would have looked very different to them. Bad as conditions might have seemed at first, when they saw that actual progress was being made, they would have taken a more hopeful view of the situation."
The tyranny of lowered expectations as expressed by those calling themselves "conservatives" is no less disdainful and simplistic than the same position as promulgated by Darwinistic liberals.

And I will challenge those who espouse Darwinistic liberal philosophy every chance I get.

"...Let’s talk about the issue of young blacks having a real problem with self control..."

You raise an important issue.

There are theories that say this behavior is not cultural but organic.

Remember talk of "the Warrior Gene"? Well, they don't talk about it anymore as it is politically incorrect: It turns out that scientists now know that there are genetic markers for both "poor impulse control" as well as "high testosterone", and they are much more prevalent in certain demographics.

These findings provide a genetic basis for the understanding of the behaviors you reference.

It's part of the Human Biodiversity Movement (HBD).

Your cryptic responses indicate perhaps a lack of understanding. Are you really saying that acknowledging the fact that most criminals fall into a specific IQ range and then noting that most blacks fall into that same range and thus arriving at the conclusion that low IQ in the black race is the cause of unusually high crime rate among blacks somehow solves a mystery that God didn’t want us to solve? Am I to ignore my own God given ability to reason and learn by experience? I know that a venomous snake will bite me and kill me so I avoid them. Should I not? Speculating on the origins of the universe or debating the existence of dark matter might possibly be one of the things “within the scope of man” to not figure out, but observing human behavior and reacting accordingly probably isn’t one of the things God didn’t want us to do. We were after all told we would know them by the fruit they bear. If the fruit is rotten I avoid it and I will not tell others it is good.

They were only a few percentage points behind white people prior to the great society in terms of 2 parent families and their income gap was rapidly closing. The more often than not lived amongst their own race and subcultures, but everyone else here has done that, and it doesn’t get messy unless the government starts screwing with it.

People are people. A ton of other different cultures and people ended up here also, and they (among them black people not imported involuntarily) don’t have any issue here unless they don’t assimilate into AMERICAN culture.

Black people in America have been specifically targeted by the left and elites as a guaranteed 10-12% vote base with clearly disastrous results for their demographics.

People are people. A ton of other different cultures and people ended up here also, and they don’t have any issue here unless they don’t assimilate into AMERICAN culture.

People ARE NOT people! People are all very different as you point out immediately after saying they are all just alike! A ton of people did in fact end up here; Caucasians, Mongoloids and Negros from every point on the planet ended up here. The Caucasians ended up here with an average IQ of 100. The Mongoloids arrived with an average IQ of about 104. The Negro came here with an average IQ of 85. Why is it so difficult to accept the fact that their low IQ is the reason for their inability to assimilate into a civilized society or even create a functioning society of their own anywhere else on the Earth. The evidence is overwhelming. I do agree that the Left has created a dependent class from the American Negro but unless he was willing to freely sign on to work the Democrat plantation nobody could force them to do so. I was a conscious choice and a position entered into willingly so to think the American Negro would at this time decide out of the blue that he'd prefer the freedom to work and make his own destiny is a position not based in reality.

All of those misconceptions actually have statistical correlation, but it’s not a causation. Believing there is a causative relationship actually IS racist.

Agree with you for the most part but a statistical correlation drawn in this context on the basis of one's skin color is a passing one at best, and as you note not causative.

A more relevant statistical correlation would likely be drawn on the basis of one's worldview and faith walk rather than skin color or geographic location.

Man's propensity for sin exists across people groups regardless of skin color, and a high IQ is hardly indicative of one's inherent morality. In fact the criminals with the higher IQs are likely to be the ones who cause the most societal harm.

It's bigots who try to link skin color to misbehavior and/or stupidity both associatively and reflexively and their blighted perspective is borne of their simplistically liberal, if not entirely Godlessly inclined intentions.
