We’re Not Allowed to be Honest About Black Crime—So We May End Up with A Crazy Black Lady President

"America’s most enduring problem, the problem of the blacks, has been dominating the news this week.
The attitude I bring to these news stories is one of weary despair. They are reported and discussed publicly in language that bears very little relation to reality, so that most of what is said and written is worthless. To speak honestly about race is in fact taboo, and genuinely shocking, for most Americans.
Here’s an example. Back in 2016 a black man in Charlotte, North Carolina was shot dead by a cop, also black. There were protests, riots, vandalism, and looting. A Republican local congressman, Robert Pittenger, said the following thing:
Nailed it, Congressman. But of course, Pittenger was denounced by all the Great and the Good, and to save his career, issued a groveling retraction.The grievance in their minds—the animus, the anger—they hate white people, because white people are successful and they’re not.
Congressman: Charlotte protesters ‘hate white people because white people are successful’, by Peter Holley, Washington Post, September 23, 2016
I’ve been living in America since the second Nixon administration, with some intermissions. For many years I assumed that this clinging to unreality could not be stable; that truth and honesty would eventually prevail; that we’d learn to speak to each other openly and frankly, citizen to citizen.
To my dismay and despair, the opposite has happened. As the years pass, we drift further and further from reality and truth, deeper and deeper into fantasy and denial. It’s very depressing; like being in a plane that’s lost all power and is just going down, down, down.
I love this country; I have two kids who will live out their lives here. Yet it’s hard to see any hope for America when the landscape of social commentary is smothered in shallow lies and infantile delusions.
- First episode: Panic In the Park
A large black man, a birdwatcher, took objection to her breaking the rules. She took objection to his having taken objection. He responded with the words: “Look, if you’re going to do what you want, I’m going to do what I want, but you’re not going to like it.”
Scared, she called the police on her cellphone, telling them a black man was threatening her…except that she didn’t say “black,” she used the cant descriptor “African American.” She seems to be a standard-issue New York City Goodwhite [Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper: A Confrontation in the Park, New York Times, May 28, 2020].
The black man had departed without further incident by the time the cops arrived, and they took no action. He had filmed the encounter, though, and the video was posted on social media. The white woman was fired from her job and the dog was confiscated. She is now probably unemployable.
You get the impression from the video that the woman is somewhat highly-strung, the man somewhat obnoxious. Neither thing is a firing offense, though.
To the main point, she was quite right to be scared. A small white woman, alone in a secluded place with a large black male stranger using threatening words: of course she was scared.
Black men commit sexual assault and rape against white women with such frequency that the federal government ceased publishing the numbers some years ago, when the slide into denial accelerated under the Obama administration.
I am told that the Bureau of Justice Statistics still collects those numbers, but dare not publish them. Still, even with the Main Stream Media trying their best to hide the facts, it’s hard not to be aware of them—especially in a big city with lots of blacks and single young white women.
So this young professional woman was justifiably scared. But because it was a black man that caused her to be scared—deliberately, you can’t help thinking, based on those words he spoke—the young woman’s life has been wrecked.
Like Congressman Pittenger, she has done a full grovel, whining that she is not a racist. Of course it hasn’t helped her. Her fellow Goodwhites have expelled her from the charmed circle of right-thinking citizens. She dwells in outer darkness, and will forever.
This is how white Americans live now: in fear. Land of the Free!
- Second episode: Mayhem In Minneapolis
On a first glance at what’s happening in Minneapolis itself, it looks like a regular black riot, a replay of what we’ve been seeing over and over since Detroit 53 years ago.
So again comes the despair. It seems like nothing ever changes.
Fifty-three years! —five and some decades of pontificating, agonizing, prescribing, legislating, twisting the Constitution into pretzels in efforts to quell the ragethat Congressman Pittenger identified so accurately. Fifty-three years, untold billions of dollars, endless repetitive cant prescriptions (“Let’s fix the schools!” “Save the black family!” “End institutional racism!”) that are tried, and tried, and tried, and tried yet again, but get us nowhere at all.
1967, Detroit; 2020, Minneapolis. Fifty-three years from now, in 2073, will some other American city be going up in flames so blacks can vent their rage at being a failed race? Will nothing ever change?
On closer inspection, though, there are some key differences between then and now.
The one I’ve mostly been noticing is that a high proportion of the protestors, many of the rioters, and even a few of the opportunistic looters, are white. This is almost as much an Antifa riot as a black riot.
Where the protesting has metastasized to other cities—we had a modest riot in New York Thursday evening [ At least 70 arrested at NYC protest over death of George Floyd, NY Post, May 28, 2020]—the activists seem to be majority white, with white females strongly represented.

Unrest began to spread at Barclays Center in NYC 20 minutes ago. That means the situation before nightfall is at risk of spiraling in Atlanta, DC, NYC, Minneapolis, and possibly LA and Houston as well. #GeorgeFloydProtests

I naturally want to ask these fired-up white anarchists where they were in July 2017when Justine Damond, a white woman, was shot by a black cop for no reason at all. The cop is currently serving a 12-year sentence for 3rd-degree murder.
Yes, I know: there was a vigil in Ms. Damond’s honor, and a public memorial service. I don’t recall any rocks getting thrown, though, or any precinct houses being burned down."
