Fareed Zakaria was born into an elite Indian Muslim family and made his way into the global elite via Harvard and Yale. He’s edited Foreign Affairs, Newsweek and Newsweek International; now he’s a host on CNN. As you can imagine, this expertise and background have given him unique insight into the inexplicable horror of the Boston Marathon bombing by two young MuslimContinue reading “People are going to have to think less about themselves and think more about me, Fareed Zakaria…”

Comments Elsewhere, Edited, or, The Lamentations of the Womanish and Childlike
Comes now the latest attempt at silencing Matt Drudge’s recurring Blacks Behaving Badly theme. Where Bill Maher deployed the pillory, this blogger attempts a plea in an “open letter”, complete with flattery and concern trolling (thank God I’m surrounded by the apolitical; if anyone ever expresses concern for the “future of the Republican Party” in myContinue reading “Comments Elsewhere, Edited, or, The Lamentations of the Womanish and Childlike”
How Soon is Now?
When you say it’s gonna happen now Well when exactly do you mean? See I’ve already waited too long And all my hope is gone–The Smiths I don’t expect this to stop. But can we at least stop pretending? I accept that history and the apparently inexhaustible malice of black America means a debt incurred in perpetuity. We will pay (as long as thereContinue reading “How Soon is Now?”
Meanwhile in Soviet America
Chick-fil-A’s Vice President of public relations has died of a heart attack.To be fair to the Soviets, despite looking I couldn’t find a comparable example from Stalin’s purges of someone succumbing to the strain of the show trial–a couple of poisonings maybe. It’s kind of scary to think the Gays are just getting started. Judging fromContinue reading “Meanwhile in Soviet America”
Tweeting the Revolution
On Twitter, Mr Sock-it-to-the-Man Chris Rock is angry he’s been denied the opportunity to grow up in a mud hut in what is now Angola: Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks The powerful have made the elevation of Rock’s inept and untrustworthy relatives (the mocking of whom has madeContinue reading “Tweeting the Revolution”
Bill’s Bleeding Heart Show
Does Bill Maher think Matt Drudge is making up stories about black malice? No. He condemns Drudge’s editorial focus, not his veracity. Drudge pays undue attention to negative black behavior. Who decides what constitutes undue attention? Bill Maher says Bill Maher decides. But we already knew that. Bill wants you to know Matt Drudge is a racist. Bill missesContinue reading “Bill’s Bleeding Heart Show”
Hate in the USA
Black folk on the Walker recall defeat.Note how the site (Twitchy, which compiles political tweets from a Fox News-like “conservative” angle) sells this compendium as “angry libs” going off. Our furtive fascination with black American violence: the critique that dare not speak its name.
Criminalizing Context Recognition
It had to end here. The Trayvonicus lynch-meme sputters on, but is starting to look like a particularly depressing Al Sharpton hoax as we learn George Zimmerman’s injuries were documented and consistent with a beating. Eyewitnesses testified to them from the start of course, but most Americans have only the legal discovery process to thank forContinue reading “Criminalizing Context Recognition”
Comments Elsewhere, Edited and Expanded
Regarding John Derbyshire’s instantly (in)famous The Talk: Nonblack Version piece in Taki’s (contrasting the faddish meme “The Talk”* and its hoary assumptions about racial hostility, with the reality of the known world), Mr. Josh Barro in Forbes steps into the town sqaure to deliver the King’s writ as he sees it (“National Review Must FireContinue reading “Comments Elsewhere, Edited and Expanded”
The hush was almost deafening
From the Apotheosis: The statue, representing a “Stone of Hope,” sits forward from a “Mountain of Despair.” In reality it’s made to appear as if MLK has split the mountain in two and is morphing out of the granite like some great, sullen chthonic deity. After complete societal collapse the site will be suitable forContinue reading “The hush was almost deafening”
