When Lavish “Diamond” Reynolds live broadcast the death of Philando Castile some whites were puzzled by her calm demeanor in the circumstances, narrating events in a stereotypical ghetto monotone normally associated with passive aggressive customer service agents of a certain demographic. When I saw it on Twitter I thought at first it was a hoax; Reynolds comesContinue reading “Cognitive Dissonance and Cowardice”

Narrative Autopilot in Antebellum America
The Orlando massacre aftermath was like something out of that satirical black comedy about the Left’s embrace of Islam. You know, the one that will never be made (because Hollywood may be a whore but she’s no bigot!): Isis achieves a stunning success, striking American soil in the worst attack since 9/11, and before theContinue reading “Narrative Autopilot in Antebellum America”
Signs and Portents
We all prefer the idea of a principle to its application. I think that explains somewhat the actions of white (is there any other kind?) ethno-masochists and their “leapfrogging loyalties”–abjuring white identity and responsibility for their co-ethnics in favor of a romanticized Other, usually conveniently remote (less and less so as a result of theContinue reading “Signs and Portents”
Breaking Political Winds
Well, how did [we] get here?–Talking Heads After Orlando President Obama’s position is clear and, as he and supporters (including the Republican establishment) see it, non-controversial: we’ve decided to create a larger Muslim population in America as part of a process of ethnic diversification for its own sake as well as economic growth; attacks suchContinue reading “Breaking Political Winds”
Mediocrity and its Discontents
Via Ed West on Twitter, this remarkable find by Heterodox Academy garners Judge Macklin Fleming a first-ballot entry into the I-told-you-dumb-bastards Hall of Shame: …Heterodox Academy member Amy Wax sent us the text of an astonishing letter written in 1969, at the dawn of racial preferences, from Macklin Fleming, Justice of the California Court of Appeal. Judge FlemingContinue reading “Mediocrity and its Discontents”
Black and Brown and Done All Over
About ten years or more ago I read a feature in the New York Times profiling some firm or other’s attempt to cash in on Chicano gang aesthetics and culture in the same way black gang culture had been commercialized years before (most brilliantly perhaps in NWA’s groundbreaking records, which were frankly sold as marketing innovations–“fuckContinue reading “Black and Brown and Done All Over”

You Never Go Full Retard, and You Never Go Any Part MLK
Here one of the pro-Trump libertarians, in his infinite naivete–and there was quite a bit of that on the pro-Trump side–tries to talk a Black Lives Matter militant down from the frenzy she’s determined to work up by invoking the old “what would MLK think”.Bad move. The young woman, who looks as likely as notContinue reading “You Never Go Full Retard, and You Never Go Any Part MLK”
This Skagg 3 guy’s hilarious analysis of the first Portland State student Trump supporters’ meeting shut down by volunteer social justice auxiliaries provides the backstory for the larger confrontation in downtown Portland the following Saturday:
Diary: "Bernie, Bro!"
The James Cromwell-lookalike with the siren spent a good hour following around and drowning out pro-Trump speakers (for a frail old player he was effective boxing out in the Paint, I mean Hate). I broke away from him here and from across the square I see this guy heckling Trumpenproles and I can’t help but messContinue reading “Diary: "Bernie, Bro!"”
