Open Thread Wednesday.

MORE DISCLAIMERSIt's open thread Wednesday, and I need your thoughts on the news of the day.

Personally, I am thinking about this trump probe widening.

The desperation of republicans when it comes to Obamacare. 

Former football player, Albert Haynesworth, and his issues. 

The police in Oklahoma still executing people. (This time a deaf guy)

trump's imaginary country of Nambia in Africa. 

And finally, the people of Mexico and Puerto Rico who are facing horrific natural disasters 
right now.

Stay safe.

  1. Three generations ago our rulers decided that the reason blacks were so far behind whites was culture. They set about changing the laws, creating programs to address past sins, modifying institutions to accommodate blacks and lecturing whites about the sinfulness of racism. The last black to be the victim of Jim Crow, for example, is 75 years old this year. We are reaching the point where no living person was the victim of legal segregation. The majority of blacks now have never experienced real racism.

    Blacks would contest that last line and they would have a point. The other day, there was a news story about a white not being properly worshipful of a black. It is these sorts of outrages that perpetuate racism in America. All kidding aside, no black under the age of 50 has had their race used as an impediment to their success. In fact, being black is now an enormous asset for a black person with anything on the ball. The demand for competent blacks far exceeds the supply and prices have responded accordingly.

    Despite all this, the achievement gap between blacks and whites remains unchanged in measurable areas like education and household wealth. In some areas, like crime, illegitimacy and substance abuse, the gap has grown larger. The gap in SAT scores are higher than ever, despite attempts to alter the test to close the gap. For three generations, our betters have rearranged every aspect of American society in an effort to alter the realities of race in America. The results are more of the same.

    The only rational conclusion is that culture is not the cause of the black – white gaps we see in American society. At the far right of the curve, sure, better social conditions for high IQ blacks have made an enormous difference. For the overwhelming majority of blacks, however, the culture war has been a battle among whites over how much money, in welfare benefits, will be transferred from the white middle-class to blacks. They are no more able to compete in American society than they were when this all started.

    1. If you could solve this disparity riddle you'd have a Nobel prize.

      I think Blacks did better during Segregation.
      Maybe not in material goods or in the ability to choose but as far as literacy and stability go.

      I can't fully accept the difference being biological - I live near too many Sundown Towns that are wholly white. If race was the only determining factor of success then these towns would resemble Beverly Hills and not the hunting shed from 'Deliverence'.

      IMOHO, doing too much for others robs those of the character required to attain and sustain any measurable level of success.
      Integration is fine but I don't think it should occur until we have created streets, neighborhoods and towns that can produce wealth and function on their own.
      I don't think that there should be one church in the hood (over a long period off time). The church should make its surrounding area a better place to live by teaching basic 'love thy neighbor...' tenets instead of focusing on material goals.
      We just went through a hurricane and millions of dollars of work to repair homes and businesses are being done for free. If this same effort was put into these neighborhoods by more people, these ghettos would not exist.

      School is free - everyone can learn.
      Church is free - everyone can learn morality.
      Anyone Black who excels can pretty much pick his position.

    Why on earth do Hispanics get affirmative action? Blacks suffered slavery and Jim Crow and deserve a leg up, but Hispanics? They didn’t even show up in large numbers until after 1965 when White Supremacy™ was finished. It just sort of was assumed they also deserve special treatment because they aren’t White, and no one ever took issue with it. Even people who come here illegally get immediate special consideration. WTF?

    If blacks had to win admission on their own merits, the top colleges would be only 1 or 2 percent black, instead of the 6 or 7 percent black seen with affirmative action.

    Consider an SAT score of 700, which is common for students at strong private universities such as USC or NYU. On the SAT exam in 2016, for instance, only about 645 blacks in the country scored 700 or higher on the math portion, compared with 40,000 whites and an incredible 43,000 Asians.

    On the reading section of the SAT, about 809 blacks reached the 700s versus 36,000 whites and 17,000 Asians.

    At the Harvard-Stanford level of a 750 SAT score, whites outnumber blacks about 72 to 1 on reading and 107 to 1 on math.

    The foremost beneficiaries of Affirmative Action are white women who have IQs equal or superior to white males of the second rank. A good example is Hillary Clinton, who was more intelligent than any black candidates but far inferior to Grade-A males she ran against.

    They are the ones who completely dominate higher ed, and a large part of the post-industrial, office/people oriented workforce of today.

    Blacks remain little more than hood ornaments on liberalism’s limousine.

  10. We all need white privilege9:52 PM

    Black Americans have proven their inability to create or sustain infrastructure and are dependent on whites to provide that. No other ethnic group is willing to share with blacks what whites provide from a dwindling sense of responsibility for black poverty.

    Blacks do not form intra-tribal networks of trust and mutual support crucial to community development. Given real estate and architecture designed by whites for mercantile operations, black dysfunction quickly renders them useless. They must follow new white development to attain employment and housing, while the once perfectly functional retail structures they inherited fall into ruin.

    Blacks need healthy white host communities to survive. Therefor it is beneficial for blacks that “white privilege” exists, and that white men take advantage of it. White privilege grants opportunity and support for whites, but demands repayment from them in the form of functional citizenship.

    For white men and white men alone return to the community the fruits of white privilege. Everyone else hoards it for themselves or extracts it from white men to redistribute to blacks while proclaiming their brave efforts on behalf of social justice.

    Blacks know this and that is why they hate white men. Talented blacks reap the benefits of living within white economic structures while those lacking marketable skills choose public assistance, criminality, or anti-racist activism to support themselves.

    Black leaders attain notoriety by condemning whites and calling out racism, but rarely admonish blacks or encourage them to develop the commerce or industry building skills that could break their dependence on whites. They choose the depressing litany of the talentless Genius T. Coates over the uplifting prescription of the practically-skilled Booker T. Washington.

    Is our American culture of inculcating racial resentment causing African-Americans to lag behind their distant cousins from abroad?

  24. The notion that someone who sneaks across the border today from Mexico or Guatemala is entitled to special privileges because of their skin color is disgusting. They have no history of being badly treated in this country. If anything, this country does not owe them, they owe this country, for taking them in even at the cost of lower wages and increased crowding etc.

    The reparations that should have gone to American blacks have been given instead to recent third-world refugees. And American blacks, instead of protesting, actively encouraged this giving away of their legacy to those undeserving of it.

    Dear American blacks: reparations for slavery? We gave at the office. But you gave it all away. Now you want more, but it’s gone. And the ones you gave it away to will not love you.

    First off, much love. Don't misunderstand my point, which was that they are not our audience. They are threatened with the notion that black folks may actually begin to have meaningful conversations and it appears that their goal is to try whatever means at their disposal to disrupt that. I'm merely saying that I recognize the tactic and will continue to speak my mind.

    Also understand that there are many of us who read this blog and are afraid/unsure to let their voices be heard as well. It's for them that I speak as well and if I have to take a timeout to throw a few insults, so be it.

    But I repeat, they (the trolls) are not my intended audience.

So Maria has taken out all of the power and most of the communications in Puerto Rico, and the government there is warning people to stay out of the way of the flooding and mudslides that are on the way. They are claiming zero fatalities as of an hour ago, but that may change when the storm passes and they get a better look at some of the poorer housing that was in some vulnerable locations.

    That's not true. There are still many blacks living who experienced "real" racism older than 75 yrs and younger. Some are in their 90's, 70's, 80's, 60's, and several are in their 100's. Jim Crow didn't end until 1964. Every black person from child to adult experienced racism.

    It's true that a lot of the younger generation doesn't know what racism is, but they're beginning to learn thanks to the Republican party and Trump.

    Very true, Granny. A lot of younger people really don't see it. Certainly out here in Reagan country, there is much tolerance and acceptance. We are all humans. It's a beautiful thing. Young'uns get used to mixed race people when they are all around as you grow up. Also notably absent when compared to the culture of fifty years ago is homophobia.

    The whole point of the Russian probe has always been to widen. Russia never gave anything to Wikileaks. It is an excuse to find other dirt, like finding out about Monica Lewinsky in the investigation of Whitewater. Now we found out that Trump's campaign manager, who's office was in Trump Tower, was "wiretapped" before and after Trump was elected. James Clapper, who had already lied to Congress about domestic spying under oath, lied about the Trump Tower spying before it was exposed. James Comey said he knew nothing about it. We have since learned that Susan Rice unmasked members of Trump's team; Comey exonerated Hillary before witnesses, including her, were interviewed; and his boss, Loretta Lynch, told him to call it a "matter" instead of an investigation. Comey is also the one who told us the DNC didn't let the FBI see the supposedly hacked server and accepted the "findings" of a private firm hired by the DNC.

    Even Clapper and Comey admit there is no evidence of collusion with Russia. Of course not, forensic evidence proves the data was copied to a USB device and not hacked remotely. You should listen to people who aren't paid to lie to you, like Comcast pays Rachel Maddow to do.

Now we have a Bernie Sanders medicare for all bill that has no chance to pass. Democrats who don't want it will vote for it so they can look like they are for the people instead of their insurance and pharmaceutical company donors. They want us to have the illusion of choice.

    It's not a realistic standard to compare everyone to the 0.1%. There are hundreds of thousands of neighborhoods in America, and while there must be exceptions, it's not too far from the truth to say the worst white neighborhood is better than the best black neighborhood. Black people may argue that with their mouths but their feet vote differently. The difference in the level of criminality is orders of magnitude beyond what a rational person would accept.

    It's not biological, it's cultural.

    Blacks are taught to hate and resent white people. This makes it impossible for many to function in white society. Black anger is fostered by those who control the narrative because it is used as a weapon against American society. How has this made things better? The fact that this project harms blacks more than it does the whites it is directed against tells you it is not in your interest to destroy white America, but is being done for someone else.

  46. Once Obama and his allies launched their domestic surveillance operation, they crossed the Rubicon. And there was no way back. They had to destroy President Trump or risk going to jail.

    The more crimes they committed by spying on the opposition, the more urgently they needed to bring down Trump. The consequences of each crime that they had committed spurred them on to commit worse crimes to save themselves from going to jail. It’s the same old story when it comes to criminals.

    Each act of illegal surveillance became more blatant. And when illegal surveillance couldn’t stop Trump’s victory, they had to double down on the illegal surveillance for a coup.

    The more Obama spied on Trump, the more he had to keep doing it. This time it was bound to pay off.

    Obama and his allies had violated the norms so often for their policy goals that they couldn’t afford to be replaced by anyone but one of their own. The more Obama relied on the imperial presidency of executive orders, the less he could afford to be replaced by anyone who would undo them. The more his staffers lied and broke the law on everything from the government shutdown to the Iran nuke sellout, the more desperately they needed to pull out all the stops to keep Trump out of office. And the more they did it, the more they couldn’t afford not to do it. Abuse of power locks you into the loop familiar to all dictators. You can’t stop riding the tiger. Once you start, you can’t afford to stop.

    If you want to understand why Samantha Power was unmasking names, that’s why. The hysterical obsession with destroying Trump comes from the top down. It’s not just ideology. It’s wealthy and powerful men and women who ran the country and are terrified that their crimes will be exposed.

    It’s why the media increasingly sounds like the propaganda organs of a Communist country. Why there are street riots and why the internet is being censored by Google and Facebook’s “fact checking” allies.

    It's not just ideology. It's raw fear.

    The left is sitting on the biggest crime committed by a sitting president. The only way to cover it up is to destroy his Republican successor.

    A turning point in history is here.

    If Obama goes down, the left will go down with him. If his coup succeeds, then America ends.

    As a previous commenter noted, interesting but not surprising. AA is discrimination, and naturally those who are discriminated against (mostly whites and Asians) aren’t too happy about it. But the beneficiaries, mostly blacks and, to a lesser extent, Hispanics, suffer as well. When they obtain a job or college admission, they are often regarded to have done so because of AA rather than because of their own merits. Look at this "Yisheng" character. Her existence puts to doubt the achievements of any other black person. Talented black people hate obviously undeserving people like "Yisheng".

    "Consider an SAT score of 700, which is common for students at strong private universities such as USC or NYU. On the SAT exam in 2016, for instance, only about 645 blacks in the country scored 700 or higher on the math portion, compared with 40,000 whites and an incredible 43,000 Asians."

    There are more than twice as many blacks as Asians in the US, if I am not mistaken. So this means that an Asian is 130 times more likely (at a minimum) than a black to score more than 700 on the math part. An amazing statistic. Kind of like the NBA, in reverse!

    Of course, for the reading section, the situation is far better for the blacks: here it would seem that the ratio is only around 40 to 1.

  65. " it's not too far from the truth to say the worst white neighborhood is better than the best black neighborhood."

    Right. So the predominantly black areas in Piedmont where the average house costs $2.5 mil isn't better than the mostly white trailer park on High street?
    Or the neighborhoods around Mills College (not entirely black, but we don't have many completely segregated areas here, and that's sort of the point) aren't better than than the poor white neighborhoods over the hills in Castro Valley?
    And that's just sticking with the East Bay and not digging into what you find in poor, white, Appalachia, to avoid unfair comparisons.

    They probably do think it was a success. Hey, they saved X number of dollars by appointing a city manager to sort out Flint's finances by shafting the city's residents! Who cares if many people's health was destroyed in the process? Isn't keeping rich people's taxes low the most important thing? (The answer is always yes, if you're a Republican. Literally nothing else matters.)

    Or at least they will continue to think that until judgments from the class action lawsuits dwarf any taxpayer money that would have potentially been saved and government officials start heading off to prison. It would be especially nice if Governor Rick Snyder joins them there.

    Three references to me without so much as setting eyes on this comment thread.  I really do live rent-free in your heads.

    ""Blacks are taught to hate and resent white people"

    Really? Where is this taught? I don't remember taking this class."

    You wouldn't be here if you hadn't taken it... or rather, imbibed it with your mother's formula.

    "How about you Doc? Field?"

    This blog is a graduate-level version of that very class.  Haven't you noticed the extreme political-moral slants on everything, supported by cherry-picked facts, half-truths and outright lies?  No, of course you haven't.  If you could you would either not be here or be speaking out against it.  You no more can understand it than a fish can understand "wet".  It's an inherent part of the way you perceive the world.

    We can argue all day why White-hating lies like "Blacks built America" are so popular with all of you.  Is it mere posing, or is it necessary self-delusion to offset your inferiority complex?  I'm sure it's the latter, because I've never seen any self-criticism of such nonsense when you are in monochrome company.  But it's undeniable that Black self-esteem is supported by lies, and those lies impugn White people.  Take the claims passed around during Black History Month.  It's pretty easy to check out the specifics on patented inventions, and it turns out that pretty much all Black "inventions" were (a) not terribly inventive, and (b) often at the tail end of a particular form of something prior to its replacement when the White creativity had moved on.

    Here's an esteem-boosting lie about Garrett Morgan, "inventor of one of the first traffic lights".  (Wikipedia dates the first mechanical traffic signal to 1868, 9 years before Morgan was born.)
    Here is what his signal actually looked like; it was a manually operated 3-armed mechanical affair.
    Morgan filed his patent in 1922, but the first red-green electric traffic light had already been invented in 1912 by a Detroit cop named Lester Wire... a White guy.

    Here's a long list of Black invention myths.  Every such myth is driven by anti-White animus.

    Your chronic grievance is that "Whites OWE us".  You have to make up lies to support this grievance.

    Whitey is done with your lies.  We owe you nothing.

    There were more murders, rapes, assaults, and robberies in the "High Street Hillbillies" mostly white neighborhood in the three years I was there than the whole time I lived in Dogtown, a supposedly crime-ridden poor, black, neighborhood, just for one example I know from personal experience to be true.

    Crime is down across all neighborhoods city-wide, except for the newly gentrified, mostly white, areas, where it has risen slightly.

    "I favor a chosen segregation until we no longer have to ask others for anything."

    But I don't see you favoring Whites who choose segregation to get away from the pathological behaviors of your co-racialists.  I cannot recall you opposing affirmative action, "fair housing" or the return of restrictive covenants.  You still seem to want to un-choose segregation when it benefits you, no matter what it does to others.  You want communities of choice for you... and no one else.

    "Some would say that they're 'demanding' equality but until we can force others to accept our desires then we're still just begging."

    What, FORCE others to accept your desires?  Like, to move to an area with the social capital that you cannot create... and destroy by your very presence?

    You might notice that Whitey doesn't want ANYTHING from you except your absence.  Rich Whitey either prices you out or pays you via Section 8 to move to where you bother poor Whitey instead.  Both forces are operating in Chimpcongo.  Cabrini Green was prime real estate next to the lakefront, and gentrified via housing vouchers; this is an on-going process.

    And no FN thread would be complete without Mandingo from Iowa saying something completely stupid:


    "First electric traffic light was invented in 1868."

    Said first traffic light was gas-lit and exploded, killing its operator.  Mandingo could have learned this by following links I left earlier, were he not too stupid.

    "Lester Wire was a Salt Lake City Mormon cop."

    Holy crap, you actually appear to be right about something.  My first source got that wrong.

    "Speaking of lies that impugn black people, Baldingo."

    Regardless of where he lived, photos of Lester Wire prove he was White.

    Do you know what the Mormon church declared about Blacks until long, long after 1912, Mandingo?  No?  Didn't think so.

    They were right the first time.
