"leftists running a supermarket is like me doing ballet"

I wrote to the author of the piece below:

Your point about the miracle that is a modern American grocery store is worth making repeatedly.

I've said the same to managers at the local Smith's (the local branch of Kroger) -- that we Americans are spoiled, having come to expect that 50,000 different items will be routinely available to us when we stop by the store at any random time. (My "50,000" is just a wild guess; I'd be interested to know what the number actually is, but it's surely a lot.)


We're spoiled about a lot of things beyond grocery stores, too. The other examples he gives are good ones.

"leftists running a supermarket is like me doing ballet"

I always wanted to be a ballet dancer. Anybody who has ever met me takes one look at me and says, "give it up dude." In the same regard I am telling the Left to give up their thoughts of running a supermarket. You don't have a chance.

Remembering when tv first promoted sexual psychopathy: It was leftwing talent on the side of evil

Exactly 50 years ago, Medical Center opened its new season with an episode called "The Fourth Sex," the first TV presentation of transgenderism. Robert Reed, a real-life closet queen who eventually died of aids, portrayed a surgeon (married with children, no less) who decides he's really a woman and plans to have an operation.

Is it a good thing to have a sympathetic portrayal of a man who is certifiably insane, harming his family in the process of realizing his fantasy? Suppose he thought he was really a chicken- should he have had wings and feathers grafted on?

There are three credited writers on this "milestone"- one unknown to me, the others quite respectable and prolific. Researching this thing led me to the following, which is interesting:

https://www.televisionacademy.com/features/emmy-magazine/articles/foundation-interviews-rita-lakin

She really was a talented writer; her work on Peyton Place stood out on that series.

About Medical Center, she says:

"...the one I did with Robert Reed was world-changing. The producers of Medical Center wanted me to do a show about a transgender character. I had never before heard the word; I didn't know what it meant. Then I was told what it meant and that Robert Reed was playing the lead, which was very interesting because insiders knew that Robert was gay. For the first time, really, I did a lot of research.

"I found out all the steps that Robert's character would be going through. the producers were so thrilled, they made it into two episodes, which was astonishing to me.

"it was an amazing success, and Robert got nominated for an emmy for it."

Did you hear that? "WORLD-CHANGING." No one could have imagined what kind of world we'd end up with. [N.S.: Rita Lakin could have.] Tellingly, imdb has two reviews praising the episode, heavily upvoted, and one panning it as an early example of "woke," HEAVILY downvoted.

Personally, I'd rather re-watch Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda?, which I suppose is also sympathetic to the cause but is so utterly bizarre it seems a much more realistic portrayal of the mental state these creatures exist in.

And yes, the writers, producers, etc. who "humanized" these monsters and put them in the public spotlight also have a degree of blood on their hands.

Final note: the episode was directed by Vincent Sherman, of all people, veteran WB director who was a big-time womanizer (per his autobiography) and lived to be around 100!

The REAL award for acting, Reed should have received then--was for EVERY episode of "The Brady Bunch"--playing a dad "with three boys of his own"--the "Rock Hudson" award--for appearing to be straight, yet as queer as a six dollar bill (inflation). Did you suspect Rock Hudson was gay, RM? As a kid, I heard jokes about Hudson and "Gomer's Pyle," but it didn't register until I got older.


Robert Reed (1932-1992) was reportedly intolerable to work with on The Brady Bunch

Rock Hudson (1925-1985), while in his late thirties or early forties

Jim Nabors (1930-2017), of Gomer Pyle fame, was supposedly one of Hudson's tens of thousands of homosexual sex partners

--GRA

Rita Lakin (1930-2023) amassed 803 credits as a scriptwriter, series creator, producer and script editor: Someone, presumably tv producer Aaron Spelling, who wanted her to write the pilot for a tv series during the late 1970s, for what would eventually become Dallas, put her in touch with some Texas oilmen. She disliked them, and rejected the offer. Presumably, she either found sexual psychopaths more simpatico, or avoided socializing with them. Speaking of which, if sexual psychopaths constitute "the fourth sex," what constitutes the third, homosexuals?

George Jorgensen (1926-1989) started the madness in America. He went to Sweden after World War II to pay to get himself butchered.



Letters from New Orleans (on Hurricane Katrina)

By Nicholas Stix
September 12, 2005
WEBcommentary, Men’s News Daily, Magic City Morning Star, Intellectual Conservative, and elsewhere

I received this letter from a resident of the New Orleans area on the night of September 11, in response to my column, “New Orleans, and the Hurricane Next Time.”
 

“Dear Mr. Stix:

“Truly profound. I am a long time resident of New Orleans actually Terrytown which is right across the river from New Orleans. Once a wonderful place to live, the last 25-30 years New Orleans has become an increasingly dangerous place to live. You have no idea how disappointing that is.

“How our local politicians didn't expect the aftermath of Katrina is beyond me. These are the people that are supposed to be in touch with the city and its people.

“My disappointment lies in that we (my boyfriend and I) prepared for the hurricane and because my boyfriend was in Andrew several years before knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that there would be looting and it would be terrible because our beautiful city plunged in to such disarray for the last several decades. He was approached while sleeping in a tent by someone trying to loot our home. Thankfully, there was a dog that adopted him and dog gave him just enough time to retreive his side arm and cock the hammer, only then did the potential intruder back off. It scares me to death that he could have lost his life because some stupid individual wanted what we had.

“I just don't understand the mentality of people that live off the system their entire lives and then bitch because the system didn't provide them with the resources to get out of the city. What is really screwed up is that the people that were evacuated to the Astrodome and other shelters were given money by Red Cross & FEMA and told the rest of the evacuees that they would have to wait for any help if any was going to be given. When New Orleans is rebuilt and it will be, these same people will have their hands out so they can return to the Crescent City, we don't want them, do you?

“You may be asking the point to my email. I am tired, especially in New Orleans, of people with their hands out all of the time. I don't expect the Federal, State or even City government to bail me out of my situation. Why should we continually support people that won't do anything for themselves??? And why are they so angry with white people?

“Sincerely,
“(Name deleted)”
 

Then, on the morning of September 12, I received the following letter from a New Orleans resident, in response to my column, “Questions That May Not be Asked about New Orleans.”

(The only change I made in the letter below was to break it up into paragraphs; as sent to me, it was only broken into two paragraphs, and might make readers go blind. And I want people to read it.)
 

“Dear Mr. Stix, I wanted to thank you for your article. It said everything my family and I have been trying to say. You see, sir, I am a New Orleans Refugee, that's right a refugee. My family and I watched the hurricane updates and moved to higher ground. We are not offended to be called refugees.

“We are staying with family in another part of the state. The hurricane hit on Monday, on Tuesday the parish that we are staying in announced that it would take "displaced students" into it's schools. On Wed, we had our children enrolled in local schools. On Tues, my husband notified his company, Halliburton, that we needed to relocate. They set up a temporary place for him to work in Lafayette. He drives an hour and an half both ways every day to work. That's right, Work! 3 hours every day, just to work! My elderly mother-in-law had to be evacuated with us. Therefore, I get the kids to school, took care of her and seek work in the area.

“We have driven home 3 times to check out the damage, secure what we can and obtain items that we need. It takes 8-10 hours every time. But we want to make sure that our home is taken care of until we can get there to fix it. That's right, we plan on doing it ourselves with the insurance money. Yes, we have homeowners and flood. You see sir, we live in an area where hurricanes can at hit at any time. Therefore, we must take care of ourselves. We do not plan on waiting for the government or city to fix it. It is our responsibility to make sure that we have a home, work and that our children are educated.

“But I want to make one thing perfectly clear. We live paycheck to paycheck. My husband has been with Halliburton for 32 years. I am a nurse, I work full time and take call. We have three children. We have provided them with private school education because they do not know how to use guns and would get eaten alive in our public school system. Also, we have friends that have graduated in our public school system and can't read. We have a 19 year old in college, a 15 year old in the 9th grade and a 13 year old in the 7th grade.

“Yes, we live paycheck to paycheck. But we do not expect anyone else to provide us with the things that we need. We provide ourselves and children with health insurance. We pay for their braces and eyeglasses. You see sir, we work for these things. Our biggest hope is that our children will realize this and work for things that they need and desire. We vote, we take our children with us. We want them to understand that they have to be active in their community. We have them do community service work with us. All the time being blamed for the condition of our black community. Well, the true black community came through in this situation. Remember the black out in New York, thousands of people just walked out. No one shot at the crowd, no one attached rescue workers. They just moved on. I am ashamed of how my city reacted to this tradgey. But I refuse to take responsibility. My family reacted the way human beings should react. We heeded the warnings, got out and took care of ourselves. But we are white, cajun all the way through. We work for what we have. We will teach our childred to do the same. Just as our parents taught us. I am not sure what will come of our home, but I promise this, we will be a part of the rebuilding, not the destruction. Thanks for listening. And please, pray our city and all of the hurricane victims. We need it.

“Sincerely, A New Orleans REFUGEE!”


That afternoon, the following letter came about the same essay.

 
“Good questions!!. Most will not be answered. You will be labeled a racist, and the "beat will go on". Keep on trying to change the system. Democrats do not want to upset their supporters and others fear being destroyed by the liberal media and black racists like Sharpton and Jackson.

“P.S. I'm a refugee (I'll use this term because of its definition) and grew up in the LOWER 9th WARD. I chose to learn something in school and rise out of the poverty of the area. Unfortunately, my mother still has a house (maybe) there. Of my entire family including hundreds of cousins, I'm one of the first to get a college degree. I'm tired of hearing about poor people. Most, by choice, do not want any other way of living unless they can steel it or are presented it by someone else!!!”

Fifty minutes later, a woman sent me the following note.

 
“Great article!

“I am from New Orleans and I could answer all of these questions...but of course, I won't because they weren't asked.!”
 

The letters reminded me of when our son was born, five years ago. We lived in a 20' X 8' room (including kitchenette and bathroom!) so tight that I once had my back pants pocket shredded by pointy, formica dresser drawers, when I squeezed between the baby's crib and the dresser, in order to get to the bed. The wiring, which was not up to code, made the place a firetrap. My wife worked part-time, while going to nursing school full time, while I took care of the baby 24/7. In other words, we didn’t have a pot to pee in. And yet, had we heard that a natural disaster was on the way, we would have grabbed the stash of cash my wife kept on hand (where only she could find it) for emergencies, wrapped up the baby, packed a couple days' changes of clothes for us, and a week's worth of baby supplies (including app. 80 Pampers), and grabbed the first train or bus out of town. It would never have occurred to us to stay, and demand that the federales come, save us, and give us money.

Of course, seeing as we are only human, had the feds chased after us with fists full of money, we might well have let them catch us. Then again, unlike God, the feds only help those who refuse to take care of themselves.

Questions That May Not be Asked about New Orleans

 
[Postscript, 9/2/12: Tonight, Peter Brimelow just published my VDARE Katrina update, “Revising Katrina for the Age of Obama” (bad link)]

By Nicholas Stix
September 7, 2005
Magic City Morning Star, and elsewhere

(August 13, 2012: With the seventh anniversary beckoning of the savagery that the MSM informed us occurred in New Orleans before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina; and which the MSM later informed us had not happened, I found that some of my reports from the time were unavailable, a miscoded mess, or disorganized. I just spent a few hours re-reading work, some of it I'd forgotten writing, and other pieces that I hadn't read in seven years, preparing it for re-publication, and re-constructing my Katrina/NOLA archive.)

In journalism as in academia, the most important questions one has to learn are those which one may not ask. For instance, back in April on Bob Costas’ HBO sports show, football announcer Chris Collinsworth, a white, retired Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver, stuttered and stammered as he tried to say that he is so nervous about touching professionally on race in any way, because it could instantly end his announcing career, that he is afraid to ask any race-related questions.

In grad school, I always marveled at how some of my classmates knew exactly what questions not to ask. One contemporary academic non-question is, “Why, if black IQs are on average 15 points lower than white IQs, and the Constitution forbids unequal treatment under the law, would the government routinely hire people based on their being black, rather than based on their qualifications?” It’s a non-question; no one may ask it. Forget that you even read it here.

In that spirit, I have a compiled a series of “non-questions” regarding New Orleans. They only appear to be questions, but aren’t because I am not asking them, thus no answer is expected. I am just listing them so that it is clear that they may not be asked.

1. Why were New Orleans residents shooting at rescue workers in helicopters and boats, and firing on the contractors who were trying to fix the levee?

2. Why were so many thugs shooting and looting and raping and murdering on the streets of New Orleans and at the Superdome when a natural disaster hit town?

3. Is it true that the thugs who were shooting and looting and raping and murdering on the streets of New Orleans and at the Superdome were just doing what they do all time?

4. Why were virtually all of the looters and murderers and rapists and carjackers black?

5. Should we damn as racists the white and Asian foreign tourists who said they were being terrorized in the Superdome and on the streets of New Orleans based on the color of their skin, ignore their complaints, “disappear” alleged black-on-white and black-on-Asian crimes committed in the aftermath of Katrina, and arrest the tourists for racial insensitivity and hate crimes, since it is a well-known fact that blacks can only be the victims, but never the perpetrators of racism?

6. Why didn’t New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin use the 500 buses he had at his disposal to evacuate New Orleans residents before Katrina hit town?

7. Is President Bush getting so roundly criticized by the media and black political activists for not taking over rescue efforts sooner, because he is a white, heterosexual, Republican male, whereas Mayor Nagin is a black Democrat and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco is a female Democrat?

8. Although thousands of National Guard troops have been in New Orleans for several days, how come we have not heard of any of them shooting looters or violent criminals?

9. Why have we heard instead of New Orleans thugs beating National Guardspersons over the heads with pipes, shooting said National Guardspersons, and said National Guardspersons running away from said attackers?

10. Are the National Guardspersons’ rifles loaded with live ammunition?

11. Is it possible that, as with during and following the 1992 Los Angeles race riots, thousands of National Guardspersons are marching around New Orleans with unloaded weapons?

12. Had President Bush, in the face of Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco’s incompetence, taken over rescue efforts days ago, would the President now be enduring the same criticisms he is now receiving, or worse criticisms?

13. How can federal authorities such as FEMA take over the role of first-responders, as the attacks on the feds have implied they should have, if the police and fire persons are all locals, and it takes days for FEMA to arrive on the scene?

14. If everything to do with New Orleans’ troubles is a federal affair, should not the federal government put the city in federal receivership, and render Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco powerless, regarding the city’s management?

15. Should we ignore the New York Times’ years-long, successful opposition (including just last spring) to the feds spending billions of taxpayer dollars to fix New Orleans’ levees, in light of the newspaper’s current charges of federal malfeasance for not having fixed the levees?

As I said at the outset, the above sentences are non-questions. They are not to be asked, let alone answered, least of all by yours truly. They are all off-limits – if you know what’s good for you! Forget you ever read this column.

New Orleans, and the Hurricane Next Time

 
[Postscript, 9/2/12: Tonight, Peter Brimelow just published my VDARE Katrina update, “Revising Katrina for the Age of Obama.”]

By Nicholas Stix
Saturday, September 3, 2005
Men’s News Daily

A hurricane hit New Orleans. However, America has suffered many such hurricanes, and will suffer many more to come. Whether she can endure them, is another story.
 

Looks like America to Me

‘It doesn’t look like America; it looks like a third world country.’ That was the refrain from CNN reporters such as Sanjay Gupta in New Orleans on Friday.

The problem is, New Orleans looks all too much like America – as in urban, “multicultural” America.

Meanwhile, black politicians were saying that the issue is “racial.”

You have a majority black city whose 480,000 residents were warned to evacuate, yet approximately 150,000 (31.2 percent) declined to. (I am allowing for 10,000-20,000 old and/or disabled people, like the 94-year-old man stuck in his apartment with a dozen eggs and a few gallons of water, who could not evacuate.) Most of the angry people shown waiting for transport appeared to me to be able-bodied. You have armed young black men roaming the city streets, looting, raping, murdering and carjacking. You have rescue workers in helicopters who are fired on by gun-toting “victims,” and who then flee to save themselves. You have national guardsmen in the streets ordered not to do their jobs. You have a black mayor, Ray Nagin, who failed to do his job and then cried racism, condemning the Great White Father for not bailing him out, and complaining about a lack of National Guardsmen, as if he would tolerate the Guard doing its job. You have Jesse Jackson, crying racism, insisting that had the victims been white that help would have arrived in a hurry, and diminishing the savagery in the streets as a few people taking “TV sets.”

You have socialist media opportunists racially pandering to racist, black demagogues. You have smirking, effete snob Los Angeles Times editorialist Jon Healy, claiming that the omniscient, omnipotent feds knew exactly what to expect, and should have responded with lightning speed to avert disaster. You have CNN anchor Paula Zahn, attacking the Bush Administration, by way of feeding black politicians rhetorical softball questions. You have Larry King, “asking” racist Cong. Elijah Cummings, former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, “Do you think if New Orleans were two-thirds white instead of two-thirds black, this wouldn’t have happened?”

Those weren’t questions, they were despicable cases of racist grandstanding.

To Cong. Cummings’ credit, he sought to de-emphasize race, emphasizing instead that these were poor people “with no money, and nowhere to go.”

A black woman named Kesha Booker said that the people who stayed in New Orleans “are living paycheck to paycheck, in dire straits.”

And yet, during the Great Depression, whites who had no jobs, no paychecks, and nowhere to go, traveled cross-country, in search of work. And they hadn’t even been warned to evacuate in the face of an approaching hurricane.

And you have white doctors and nurses saving black patients, and a white president who is expected to save the day. And then be damned, no matter what he does.

I’m sorry. I know that some of my readers are thinking, “Well, golly. He’s not the most compassionate type.” It’s true. Compassion is not my greatest virtue. If it’s compassion you want, you need to find yourself some white Evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews. Those are the folks who are always going out of their way to give their time, their money, their sweat, and sometimes their lives, saving strangers who are not even of the same faith or race. You know, the guys for whom the socialist mainstream media have only contempt.

I was raised a secular humanist, and secular humanism has no room for compassion. Excepting for libertarians, who don’t even claim to have compassion, secular humanists claim to feel compassion for blacks and Hispanics, and illegal immigrants, oops, undocumented immigrants, and homosexuals, but what they really have is political loyalty to those groups and a corresponding political enmity towards (non-socialist) heterosexual white Americans. If they really had compassion, they’d feel it for white Evangelicals and Orthodox Jews, as well as for all those groups whom they politically protect … and live off of.

The only CNN reporter who showed any decency or courage was Anderson Cooper, who pointed out – also by way of rhetorical questions -- to Jesse Jackson that New Orleans is a black-run city, that Mayor Nagin is black, and that it was Mayor Nagin’s responsibility to take care of his constituents.

CNN security consultant Richard Falkenrath said as much, in a roundabout way, when he contradicted Jon Healy. “There was a cascading failure of public infrastructure that we hadn’t planned for.”

English translation: ‘The first line of defense always is constituted by local authorities. You know, the sewer and water and transportation and police and fire and health departments. Well, not only did one of them screw up, but they all screwed up, one on top of the other. Imagine the 102 stories of the World Trade Center towers collapsing one on top of the other on 911, and you have an idea of the failures by local authorities.’

No federal agency can ever swoop in fast enough to compensate for such incompetence at the local level. The locals must always hold the fort for several days, until the feds can get their airlifts and personnel organized and at the scene of the catastrophe. That Jon Healy would damn the feds while absolving local officials of responsibility shows either incredible ignorance or breath-taking dishonesty.

The contrast to Mississippi could not have been more stark. Mississippi had less warning about Katrina. And yet, once people heard that Katrina was coming, they got in their cars and drove away. CNN’s Anderson Cooper reported from Waveland, MS, where a married white couple and the husband’s mother had returned to see the leveled house they’d lost.

In New Orleans, 150,000 people refused to leave, despite railroad lines and bus depots. Mayor Nagin likes the title of mayor and the power the job confers, but like most black urban mayors, he refuses to lead. Or rather, he thinks that leadership begins with demanding nourishment from white people, and ends with biting the hands that feed him.

As the blog Our Way of Life showed (a tip o’ the hat to Steve Sailer), Mayor Nagin had hundreds of buses sitting around in parking lots prior to Katrina, which by Sailer’s reckoning could have been used to transport up to 12,000 people per trip to higher ground in Baton Rouge, 75 miles away. Instead, Nagin dithered, and then raged. Meanwhile, the parking lots were flooded in, wasting the buses. As blogger Zach wrote, “Why did the mayor not use the buses?! This is incompetence and stupidity of the first order, period.”
 

Think Locally, Act Federally

One of the many lessons lost in this disaster is that local disaster relief is not a federal obligation; it is a state and local matter.

On Fox News a few days ago, members of the “Fox All-Stars” panel noted that financially bailing out the Gulf region hit by Katrina is not a federal mandate. One panelist cited people whose homes were devastated who said proudly that they would rebuild. (Although no one said so, they were talking primarily of whites, because blacks were more likely to be clustered in cities and to proudly demand to be saved by the feds.) But the rest us would have to pay for the rebuilding! The proud locals had knowingly moved to the hurricane belt, where there is no hurricane or flood insurance, expecting the federal government to pick up the tab when the foreseeable occurred. And “conservative” George Bush will not disappoint them, because just like his socialist adversaries, he seeks to buy votes with federal taxpayer dollars wherever and whenever he can.

If the feds kept out of such local disasters, and left them to the governments of New Orleans and Louisiana, respectively, New Orleans blacks would still blame the white devils for their problems, but at least those white devils wouldn’t go broke paying for them. Mayor Ray Nagin and Gov. Kathleen Blanco would be forced to do their jobs.

The price of area housing and land have artificially risen over the years, due to the flood of federal dollars after previous natural disasters. Without the artificial inflation of federal dollars, prices would return to a reasonable level – not that property buyers would acknowledge the trade-off. That would ease financial pressure on future home buyers, not to mention federal taxpayers in the other 49 states.

Gulf Coast whites and blacks alike will expect federal help; of that there can be no doubt. But the contrast between whites who sought to save themselves and blacks who expected to be saved; between whites who “helped each other” and blacks who tried to murder rescue workers and police officers, could not have been more stark.

Expect to see hundreds of millions of dollars of federal and private aid money stolen in New Orleans, as happened with the South Asian tidal wave aid money earlier this year. Such criminality by public officials is a matter of pride in Third World jurisdictions. Expect more cases of insurance fraud in the white rural and suburban areas hit in Mississippi and Alabama, but unlike in New Orleans, private white frauds are much more likely to be prosecuted than criminal black public officials.

During the 1960s, over 100 such “hurricanes” hit America’s cities, large and small. At the time, various politicians and alleged social scientists and journalists told Americans that the “hurricanes” were justifiable reactions to white “racism.” They lied.

The riots were not reactions to white racism, but explosions of black racism. Blacks had just enjoyed (1940-1960) the greatest explosion of prosperity in black American history, unparalleled to this day. They had been granted, the Constitution be damned, Brown vs. Board of Education, by the Supreme Court. They had been granted the 1964 U.S. Civil Rights Act. And so how did they respond? By rioting, natch. Isn’t that how everyone celebrates improvements in their lives and historic political victories?

The riots were statements of confidence, based on the victories, telling whites to get out of town. Those whites who resisted, were labeled racists, as were those whites who left. But once whites left, conditions in black-dominated cities got worse, not better.


Let’s Form a Commission!

In 1967, Pres. Lyndon Johnson formed an eleven-member National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders to study the race riots, which came to be known as the Kerner Commission, after its titular head, Otto Kerner. The 1968 report’s summary argued, “Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal.”Although the positions of that summary are a part of socialist gospel in America, as Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom observed in their classic work, America in Black and White, “very little of value was accomplished by the original body. Its authors appear to have been so traumatized by the ghetto riots during the long, hot summers of 1965-1968 that they had deluded themselves into thinking that the condition of African Americans in the United States had been deteriorating rather than improving since World War II, and that this supposed deterioration was in good part due to the spatial differentiation between cities and suburbs.”

Actually, the Thernstroms were too easy on the commission, which was dominated by one of the most venal, stupid, incompetent white politicians ever to ascend to the national stage in these United States, New York City Mayor John Vliet Lindsay (1921-1999). As Vincent J. Cannato chronicled in The Ungovernable City: John Lindsay and His Struggle to Save New York, Lindsay took over -- really, hijacked -- the commission and manipulated it into accepting a summary written by two of his aides, Peter Goldmark and Jay Kriegel. “[The summary] spoke in loud and clear terms placing the blame squarely on white America for the recent urban riots.”John Lindsay’s qualifications to lead were that he was 6’4” tall, had matinee idol looks, seemingly limitless energy, people thought he was rich, and he oozed confidence, even if there was no basis for that confidence. Lindsay had “compassion” for New York’s blacks, which he put into practice by more than doubling the welfare rolls (from 565,000 to 1,165,000, according to historian Fred Siegel) by inviting unwed black mothers to quit their jobs and illegally go on the dole; putting black supremacist gangsters on the city payroll; ordering the police to stand down, in the face of black supremacist gangsters’ organized assaults on white teachers in the city’s schools; and treating the white working and middle classes who were paying for his experiment in social disintegration with contempt. Lindsay had hoped to use the Kerner Commission as a stepping stone to the presidency; Americans thought otherwise. And yet, America’s socialist and communist elites have uncritically cited the nonsense promoted by Lindsay’s aides tens of thousands of times since 1968.

It’s easy to blame whites for black racism, when one travels in taxicabs (or chauffeured limousines) rather than public transportation, and enjoys 24-hour security in luxury buildings, thus protected from the predations of the people whom one champions.
 

A New Reason for Hating?

But some will argue that what I am saying is irrelevant. After all, the black “anger” on display in New Orleans is a response to the federal delays. Nonsense. First of all, black “anger” is a euphemism for hatred. The mainstream press has resolved never to speak of blacks as haters. And yet, is there a group in America that hates more? Who hates homosexuals more? Who is more xenophobic? More misogynistic? No, no, no and no. Instead, the media portray white, heterosexual Christians – probably the most tolerant group in the world, as haters of the above-cited groups.

Secondly, the racism excuse is already in use.

Third, if when 1960s blacks began throwing race riots the way whites threw block parties they were responses to “racism,” how does one rationalize the race riots after NBA championships by the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers as responses to “racism”? The “racism” line was always as phony as a three-dollar bill. Race riots are rarely a response to racism; more typically, whether in 1863 New York, 1921 Tulsa, or 1992 Los Angeles, they are expressions of racism.

The fact of the matter is that an ever-growing proportion of urban blacks – females and males alike – is in a perpetual state of rage. Rage, when whites are around, and rage, when whites are absent. For forty years, urban blacks have used hatred of whites as an excuse for not leading responsible lives.

Psychologically and morally speaking, I see no difference between the genocidal hatred of Arabs toward Jews, and the majority of urban American blacks toward … everyone.

What we have seen in New Orleans is not merely a reaction to Katrina; it is simply a dramatic version of life in many black-dominated American cities – Detroit, Washington, DC, Baltimore, St. Louis, Gary IN, East St. Louis IL, Oakland CA, etc. And at the rate at which illegal immigrants are importing similar pathologies and lawlessness from Mexico and elsewhere, in twenty years all of America’s cities with populations of over 100,000 will be just like New Orleans.

New Orleans is not an aberration; we have been seeing its like for over 40 years. Expect to see more of the same.

The great reversal: sexual psychopath shoots 19 people in school, so evil minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey "decries anti-trans 'hate'"

N.S.: The earliest case I know of, of the great reversal, in which propagandists decry normal White people, in response to another group's evil, was "novelist" Richard Wright, who in 1940 asserted that every time a negro committed a crime, Whites were at fault.

“'A nation of biggers': 'How ‘Bigger’ was Born'”: The 1940 lecture, in which communist/black supremacist author Richard Wright sought to rationalize the murderous black protagonist from his novel, Native Son.

The mets have a chance to win tonight!

By Nicholas Stix

When I turned on the game just after 8, it was 12-0 mets, with two outs in the bottom of the second, at corporate field in flushing (home game). I thought to myself, "The mets have a chance to win."

Even in 2006, I used to think the same way, and that season, they ended up with the best regular season record in the senior circuit (97-65). Of course, that year, Aaron Heilman gave up a home run to some mope on St. Louis in game six of the semifinals.

In spite of all their fire power that year, with David Wright, Jose Reyes, and the Carloses (Beltran and Delgado), the mets pitching staff had trouble holding leads.

Tonight was the big league debut of phenom Jonah Tong, a canadian-asian, whom mets skipper Carlos Mendoza gave five innings. His line score wasn't so hot--four runs in five innings, but three of those runs were unearned. Last night, a series of errors cost us the game against the marlins, who are a losing team this year, and sent us five games behind the phillies in the nl east, with only 30 left to play. No matter. Any team has a chance at beating and even sweeping us, and the marlins have a history of ruining our seasons (on the day of the year in 2007 AND 2008), ditto for the nats.

and if we do hold on for the win, tomorrow we might score only one run and lose. That's the way mediocre teams play.

It's the top of the eighth, and we're (or is that they're?) ahead, 13-4. But as Yogi famously said...
