The Failure of Celebrity Adoption Agitprop
RT reports that the exposure of millions of White American women to the likes of this hasn't had much of an effect.
One more example of when human nature trumps PC fads. JP Rushton speculates that assortative selection holds even for the adoption of dogs!
Dubya's White Guilt Despair
What do you think George W. Bush considers to be the "all-time low" of his presidency? Suffering the 9/11 attacks? Not finding weapons of mass destruction? The persistence of the Iraqi insurgency? His party's losses in the 2006 midterms?
If you guessed any of these, you just don't understand George W. Bush.
By Bill ChappellNational Public RadioFormer President George W. Bush says that Kanye West's insinuation that he is a racist, made in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, still stings today — and that the episode was the "all-time low" point of his presidency.
Bush's long-delayed reaction to West's ad-libbed comment that "George Bush doesn’t care about black people," made during a live TV benefit show for hurricane survivors, is from an interview the former president taped with Matt Lauer of NBC.
Here's the exchange, from an early transcript the network released, as quoted by Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly:
“He called me a racist,” Bush tells Lauer. “And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.”
Lauer quotes from Bush’s new book: “Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust.” Lauer adds, “You go on: ‘I faced a lot of criticism as president. I didn’t like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low.’
President Bush responds: “Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt ‘em when I heard ‘em, felt ‘em when I wrote ‘em, and I felt ‘em when I’m listening to ‘em.
Lauer: “You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your presidency?”
Bush: “Yes. My record was strong, I felt, when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And it was a disgusting moment.”
The Affirmative Action Hoax
Dr. Steven Farron, author of The Affirmative Action Hoax, joins Richard to discuss the real cost of racial preferences in admissions and hiring.
Farron's discussion of the competency of Black and Hispanic police officers, doctors, nurses, and teachers is truly shocking.

Black Children Do Not Need a Western-Style Education
With regard to the following article:
14 September 2010New York Timesby Sam DillonIn many of the nation’s middle schools, black boys were nearly three times as likely to be suspended as white boys, according to a new study, which also found that black girls were suspended at four times the rate of white girls.
School authorities also suspended Hispanic and American Indian middle school students at higher rates than white students, though not at such disproportionate rates as for black children, the study found. Asian students were less likely to be suspended than whites.
The study analyzed four decades of federal Department of Education data on suspensions, with a special focus on figures from 2002 and 2006, that were drawn from 9,220 of the nation’s 16,000 public middle schools.
The study, “Suspended Education: Urban Middle Schools in Crisis,” was published by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization.
The co-authors, Daniel J. Losen, a senior associate at the Civil Rights Project at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Russell Skiba, a professor at Indiana University, said they focused on suspensions from middle schools because recent research had shown that students’ middle school experience was crucial for determining future academic success.
One recent study of 400 incarcerated high school freshmen in Baltimore found that two-thirds had been suspended at least once in middle school.
I am pleased to see the Left providing data that argues for racial segregation in education. We know that, thanks to the valiant efforts of the Left, White educators are now among the most politically correct class there is and the most fearful of being accused of racism, and that, as per today's conventional assumption, colored educators cannot be racist by definition, since racism is a uniquely White pathology; therefore, if Black students are suspended more often, it is because they break the rules more frequently. The only other possible explanation is that the Left has been inept at eradicating racism among educators. It is interesting all the same that the article provides no data with regards to the race of those doing the suspending. Are we to assume they are all White? Or have the Black students been suspended by Black staff?
STIHIE: Stimulus Money for African Genital Washing
September 13, 2010CNS News.By Matt Cover(CNSNews.com) – The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex.
The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the study is set to end in 2011.
“NIH Announces the Availability of Recovery Act Funds for Competitive Revision Applications,” the grant abstract states. “We propose to evaluate the feasibility of a post-coital genital hygiene study among men unwilling to be circumcised in Orange Farm, South Africa.”
Because AIDS researchers have been unsuccessful in convincing most adult African men to undergo circumcision, the UCLA study proposes to determine whether researchers can develop an after-sex genitalia-washing regimen that they can then convince uncircumcised African men to follow.
SEED Money
On September 5, CBS News's 60 Minutes reported on a unique educational institution that has been established for Black children: a “SEED School” in the District of Columbia, a school district that already has the highest per capita spending per student in the country. (For a generation, CBS News has been reporting that the most exciting educational news comes from the District, where there is always some new, fool-proof program that proves Blacks are as smart as Whites.) Typically, President Obama sees SEED as a model for the Black children of the entire country: Of educational opportunity for non-Black children, Obama says not a word.
The SEED School is a public, segregated boarding school where Black teenagers get 24-7 mentoring and enriched education. It is breathlessly noted that none of these Black children ever imagined an environment where they would be expected to do as many as two hours of homework a day (which is oddly below the national average of 3 hours a day.)
One intense Black teacher at SEED, justifying the 24-7 focus on the Black students, noted, "no one ever makes it on their own, ever." Spoken like a true lifetime recipient of Government largesse.
Was "Beat Whitey Night" Really About Race?
Remember Lori Lavorato from the “Beat Whitey Night” video I posted last week? She was the uniformed “police spokeswoman” from Iowa who tentatively hypothesized that “Beat Whitey Night” might have had “racial overtones”…
Note that at 0:34, Lori can barely bring herself to say “b-b-black males.”
Beat Whitey, Beat Whitey, Beat Whitey
In this local news report on recent attacks at the Iowa State Fair, a White police officer ponders whether "Beat Whitey Night" might have had racial motivations...
Conservatives might not want to think about race, but race is thinking about them.
At any rate, it's looking like race riots will become a permanent fixture throughout America's economic collapse.
Crypto-White Nationalist at the Post?
The Washington Post has an unintentionally funny headline “Gun-toting soccer moms a scary thought in D.C. area, but not out west.” It turns out that what’s good for Sharon and Cheryl isn’t necessarily what’s best for Shaniqua and Shantay.
PHOENIX -- In the red rock and sand of the Arizona desert, just past the retirement villages and golf greens that have made this sun-worshipping city famous, sits the biggest public shooting range in the United States.
Not far away are the Wal-Marts where Arizonans pay Sun City retirees to wait in line when a new ammo shipment arrives, lest the supply run out. Residents have the right to carry handguns openly, and starting last month residents who have no criminal records and are at least 21 also are able to carry concealed weapons just about anywhere, without the bother of getting a permit.
The full embrace of firearms is just as fervent to the north in Montana, where nearly two-thirds of all households have firearms. Montanans feel so strongly about their right to own guns for hunting, fending off grizzlies and -- if it comes to it -- fellow humans that lawmakers passed a measure last year that challenges the federal government's authority to regulate guns made and kept in their state.
This is the gun culture of the American West, and it is from here that the latest challenge to the District's firearms laws has come. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) have proposed a law that they say would sweep away overly stringent regulations imposed by the D.C. Council after the Supreme Court struck down the city's 32-year ban on handguns.
Council member Phil Mendelson (D-At Large) said the McCain-Tester bill could gut the District's regulatory powers, including laws that are stricter than most states about keeping guns away from people with records of domestic violence. He also said the law shows a disregard for the realities of the District, where guns mean drive-bys, holdups and intimidation more than sport, tradition and the American way.
"The national debate about guns just misses that they are very different cultures," Mendelson said of the District and much of the rest of the country. "It's like a psychology, a mind-set, as to how people as a group think about guns."
What does one say to this kind of journalistic malpractice? We should at least be happy that they’re admitting that it’s the quality of the population which determines how much crime there is, not the gun laws. On the other hand...come on! The lie by omission is so blatant that one thinks it must smack awake the most mindless Huffington Post-reading and PBS-watching liberal. Maybe the author here is a crypto-white nationalist who wanted to make it as obvious as possible without spilling the beans and getting fired. If so, job well done.
