    Personally, I wasn’t aware of that study (nine years old!). No matter: I’d love to read your comments on it.

    This women is deranged to think a liberal NYC institution museum has done this anytime in the past century. Makes me wonder if elite anti-white misandry is no different than black paranoia in seeing an insidious agenda behind a store clerk saying “can I help you find anything?” and Asians with their bizzare issues with being asked “where are you from?”

    Interesting.

    My grandparents spent several decades traveling around the world, from the 50s to the 80s. In those days, my grandmother said it was VERY common in Europe to get the "where are you from", and find they did NOT mean where in the US. They wanted to peg her based on her European ancestry. The assumption in Europe at the time was that Americans would behave like their European ancestors. Of course that would be politically incorrect now.

    One of the weirdest moments came in Ireland. My grandmother grew up in Indian Territory, and had had long black hair in her youth, which she assumed was due to her Cherokee blood. Her father was of Scots-Irish descent. One time my grandmother was in a pub in Ireland, and there was a woman there who looked amazing like her, also with long black hair. The woman asked: "what county are you from?"

    Nope.

    I'd agree it takes a bit more insight into civilization--what it is, how it works--to see that feminism is a mortal threat, while the mortal threat of invasion is obvious.

    But ... that doesn't somehow flip reality. Invasion--as is now happening to the West, through mass immigration--is the greatest threat to any civilization. Civilization 101 is men being able to cooperate sufficiently to join together and repel invasion. Everything else is built on top of that.

    Feminism is a long term threat. Another 50 years of it--100 years in--and we'd be maybe 4 IQ points dumber. But come to our senses and put in eugenic policies and that could be quickly turned around. The worst effect of feminism is actually that feckless feminine thought is enabling the immigration invasion.

    Feminism is a chronic disease--like say diabetes. If not contained, yeah it will so mess you up, you die. But immigration\invasion is like the plague. If you can't repel the invaders, they kill you!

    Look at it this way. Every accomplished white female with the sticker, "My Children Have Four Paws", on their car is one more nail in the coffin of their particular country and Western Civilization.

    As a principle of a rational morality, if one wills the means, one wills the end. However, feminists typically do not care. They cannot see the big picture. It fits the stereotype of feminists that they are all too often vain and self-centered; it is all about them. At some point, feminism is an adroit excuse for narcissism. At some point, this becomes extreme enough to warrant becoming a DSM-level, dysfunctional mental disorder.

    However, I find solace in Darwin and evolution. Since the current generation of feminists is not reproducing in any numbers (if they do have children, they much prefer to adopt a black child from Haiti). The next generation of white women, through the filter of survival-of-the-fittest, will be much more disposed to care about traditional gender roles, children, and the magnificent things that men do for women and their families.

    In the meantime, we go about our business. Time, as a principle of Nature, will cure us of the social pestilence of feminists and feminism. They will shortly be wiped from the gene pool.

    Someone more clever than I ought to be able to combine that (as a corollary?) with 1920s Harvard president Lawrence Lowell's comment about the problem with admitting too many Jews ("they drive away the Gentiles, and then after the Gentiles have left, they leave also”). Perhaps along the lines of "The problem with admitting non-Whites to nations of White people is that they complain there are too many White people, but once they've driven out the Whites the place loses its allure and cachet. Rinse, repeat."

    That sort of capital is not as easy to quantify as the financial kind. Yet we desperately need to measure it, because social capital is at least as important to well-being as the other kind. Your bank account can buy you a home health-care worker, but it will not take on a medical bureaucracy for you when you’re sick, or whisper encouraging words when despair beckons.

    The maps provided by the Joint Economic Committee suggest that migration may indeed have persistent effects on social trust — that historical events can build or deplete our social capital even centuries later. When you get down to the county level, it looks as if the stronger areas on the map are dominated by settlement from just three of America’s many immigrant waves: Puritans in the 17th century and Scandinavians and Germans in the 19th. The weaker spots, on the other hand, seem to trace the twin realms of Spanish colonialism and King Cotton.

    Megan McArdle knows that the racial powder keg is about to go off in the United States and many other European Christian nations being destroyed by mass immigration.

    True greatness in musical composition--in any form--is the most elusive form of genius of all. No more than a few dozen men have been blessed with it over the centuries, two or three hundred if you include one and done's, which I might. None are women. None are Asian, which is also remarkable. Of average talent myself, being male does not give me a dog in this fight. But the war on noticing does.

    This is an interesting thread, since while pedestalization of women is the dominant culture of all advanced democracies at this point, ironically, the group of men more likely to not place women on pedestals are blacks. So maybe black men are not a net negative after all.

    Where I don't agree is that reality-based observations about women are not rampant outside of SWPL. The modern cuckservative community (think National Review) and most modern churches are even more extreme about goddess-worship than some lefty groups. Read Dalrock's blog for some shocking exposes of how most American Churches are nothing more than woman-worshipping cults at this point.

  10. A small thing most people are capable of that actually might make a difference is assuming the attitude of “who are you calling ‘white’?” Make the accuser explain him(her) self – the explanation alone will create desired discomfort. Whatever explanation given may be answered with “I am not a cartoon” and/or “I’ll disclose my ethnicity to those who I wish to, it’s none of your business, why don’t you just ask me where I’m from? Would that be any less offensive?” and/or “race is a construct – were you talking about my ethnicity, and if so, what of it?”

    A bigger thing we can do is – as I’ve said before – offer a better deal. Get Trump to make a 2nd term platform of no more Affirmative Action for white women, Asian women, Latinos – or immigrants of any kind – and far, far more robust Affirmative Action for African Americans, while holding in rabid reserve a legal arm of the Department of Labor to audit the employment records of any company that peeps “diversity”.

  11. About 10 years ago, I remarked to a very smart friend of mine who is an academic, that in America, 50% of all jobs are reserved for women, if they want them. He frankly ridiculed what I said, and talked in a sort of condescending fashion that indicated that he realized that I wasn’t one of the politically correct. As long as I had gone that far, I added that 50% female – well that’s just adequate; the real achievers hire more women and more and more.

    You have to admire the verbiage “another opportunity missed”; what happens when they get to 100% women?

    Actually, this is another Jordan Peterson prediction. He says that the next phase after women want to do these jobs, and women go ahead and do these jobs, is that men no longer want to do those jobs, and then men lie around and women do all the work.

    Whenever I talk to a reasonably beefy female , black or white, under about 45 or 50, who is whining that she can not find a job, I tell her that I know a company who will hire her.

    Unless she has some serious physical disability, a very serious felony history, is too fat to climb the steps of a GE Dash 9 locomotive, or is actually borderline (or worse) mentally retarded, I know an employer who will hire her and put her to work. The work is usually not all that hard although occasionally a little effort actually be needed. Hours can be a little odd. But the pay is excellent-never less than $50K a year, first year, and eventually will probably six figures with some overtime.

    They show some interest until I tell them what the job is. "It's the railroad".

    Seriously, most Class 1 railroads in the US and some of the Class 2s are utterly obsessed with "Diversity Hires"-females, blacks and mestizos. (Asians too, but Asians are not interested either, and they are not especially hot to hire them: they are considered more or less whites. The only Asians I saw in the yard the last time I was on property were math heads on a track geometry car.)

    The females, of any race including white, are not applying. They do not want to be train crew. Nor carmen-I mean carpersons-nor the diesel shop.

    But the railroads still spend a lot of effort to persuade them and will hire almost any that apply even if it means waiving every possible requirement from the job description. Can't pick up a coupler knuckle? No problem. Functionally illiterate? Ehhh. Zero mechanical aptitude? That's trainable. Meanwhile, pale males (especially if stale) are stuck on the ground and the system is understaffed, running up overtime and delaying freight.

    That sort of capital is not as easy to quantify as the financial kind. Yet we desperately need to measure it, because social capital is at least as important to well-being as the other kind. Your bank account can buy you a home health-care worker, but it will not take on a medical bureaucracy for you when you’re sick, or whisper encouraging words when despair beckons.

    The maps provided by the Joint Economic Committee suggest that migration may indeed have persistent effects on social trust — that historical events can build or deplete our social capital even centuries later. When you get down to the county level, it looks as if the stronger areas on the map are dominated by settlement from just three of America’s many immigrant waves: Puritans in the 17th century and Scandinavians and Germans in the 19th. The weaker spots, on the other hand, seem to trace the twin realms of Spanish colonialism and King Cotton.

    This reminds me of a recent funny, family story.

    We were on the airport shuttle back to our car in Austin returning from a vacation to LA. One of my sons was carrying a "coolie" hat that he bought in LA Chinatown when it was raining. The hat was cheaper than an umbrella and kept him fairly dry. He decided to keep it and bring it home.

    On the bus, my wife strikes up a conversation with a couple seated across about where we all had been. One of their kids misunderstood and thought we had been to China.

    My wife, ever the eager and inclusive conversationalist, was sitting next to an asian lady and wanted to bring her in to the discussion. This lady had not yet said a word, but my wife goes "are you from China?"

    The lady replies, in the dryest, most unaccented, go-to-hell way "No, I'm from Austin". End of conversation

    You had to probably be there, but it's definitely a part of family legend now

    Art History is a very girly subject, certainly in the UK. I looked at one top-tier UK university and their Art History department has 23 male undergrads and 169 females - so a year cohort would have about 8 males to 56 females.

    So on the face of things, if those kind of stats are replicated in the US, Ms Oliver may have a point.

    They are all white preferist. They think whiteness is better economically, politically, ethically, aesthetically, and etc. They are closet ‘white supremacists’ and prefer to live in white world than in their own. But they are too ashamed to admit this because it would mean they have inferiority complex.

    Also, in order to gain access to white nations, they must convince white people that Diversity is good and that whiteness is somehow ‘racist’ and only be redeemed by invasion by non-whites.
    Ironically, they degrade and discredit whiteness in order to gain access to it.

    It’s like this. Suppose someone had a big lump of gold while I got a a lump of lead.
    Suppose I want to take his gold.
    Now, if I told him that he got something precious while I got something crappy, he will hold onto his gold.

    So, I must go for another tactic. I would try to convince him that his gold has little value, indeed is equal to my lead or even less precious. I would try to convince him that it’s irrational for him to see his gold as precious. In the name of Metal Equality, all metals are equal in value, so maybe he should give me his gold for my lead.

    Suppose the guy is dumb enough to fall of this. Then, he would be a total cucky-wuck.
    I would have convinced him that his gold is worthless precisely because, deep down inside, I see it as worth a million.

    You are overplaying your hand.
    And the trouble with me saying so is that's like a cliche and you probably won't stop and think about what it means.
    You have a hand to play - it has value so it's worth playing, but if you overplay it, you may lose everything, but if you play it right things might work out.

    I've lived in some pretty "white" places and you know what blows me away about America: we are such mutts.

    Seriously people get in online echo chambers like this and nothing will crack it - they have no idea how many people they are losing because most people just aren't a pure shade 'o white, let alone a white male. But if you look carefully at all these folks - there's nothing wrong with them - and no reason they can't be on your side. Next HS football season pick 5 Fridays, then go to five high school football games, 10 schools. Just people watch. You'll see. That's "who we are".

    Secondly - "white people" whatever that is - don't think they owe anything to each other - and that includes the most self-white-identified people. Think anyone commenting on Unz is going out to help homeless, because the homeless are white? Volunteer in drug rehab because the addicts are white? Any of them gave someone a job, because the applicant was white? Or: if they did - do you think the applicant appreciated it and went the extra mile to return the favor? Think two white people negotiating a contract are any less likely to screw each other, because white?

    There is something of value - so that's why I say you have a hand to play and since it has value it's worth playing, but it has about as much to do with "white" as it does with having the last name "Smith" and "Jones".

    There is some speculation that the Dutch ran across the Canarsie Indians, visiting from Brooklyn. The Canarsie, of course, had no claim on the land, and were thus more than happy to sell if for whatever they could get.

    Their are still a number of Indians living in Brooklyn, many of them iron and steel workers. Since they already sold Manhattan, I am sure their descendants would sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

    Of course I have no idea if this is true or not. I do know that Indians continued to live in Manhattan, sale or no sale. The Dutch built a wooden wall to keep them out -- the location of present day Wall Street. The Indians used the wall as firewood in the winter.

    Despite the subterfuges that agents employ, word spreads when “la migra” ­­— Spanish slang for the immigration service — is on the way. In Tar Heel, within weeks of the raid, nearly half of the workforce at the plant — more than 2,000 employees and their families — simply left the region. The loss of workers forced Smithfield to increase wages, which attracted more African Americans, who were far more likely to vote for union representation. By 2008, workers who typically started at about $8 an hour had organized under the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and received a raise of $1.50 an hour, the largest pay raise in the history of the plant. It was an unusual victory for factory workers in the South, where right-to-work, anti-union views flourish.

    Tomato farmers in South Florida say they're being driven out of business by the outsourcing of their industry to Mexico.

    This article - "Hurricane NAFTA" - ran on the front page of today's South Dade News Leader, a small weekly paper in Homestead:
    http://www.southdadenewsleader.com/news/hurricane-nafta/article_5ec17128-3eaf-11e8-a238-6360cd1b9a7c.html


    Mexico, with a massive, cheap labor force chooses to buy grain from the U.S. and concentrate on growing crops that are labor intensive. As a result, wherein the past 30,000 acres were dedicated to tomatoes in Miami-Dade County, less than 1,000 acres are currently cultivated. As domestic food sources are dwindling, the federal government continues to turn a blind eye on this problem potentially affecting our national security.

    Here’s how it works. According to second generation South Dade Farmer Sal Finocchiaro, “a Mexican laborer makes about $8 per day while a U. S. worker receives a minimum wage of $8.25 an hour. Thus, the labor expense for a Florida farmer is over 10 times higher. Combine that with our greater cost of land, higher prices of regulated fertilizers and insecticides plus EPA regulation and you have a 25-pound box of tomatoes with a break even point of $10. Meanwhile, the Mexican farmer has inexpensive land, cheap labor including use of children, unregulated use of inexpensive chemicals that are prohibited in the United States and little or no health and quality control.”

    [...]

    Johnson took me into one of his sparsely used warehouses showing me beautiful tomatoes from local grower Kern Carpenter. I bought four 25 pound boxes at $5.00 per box…that’s 20 cents a pound. Johnson explained, “It takes Kern $10 per box to break even. Out of that, $4 is for picking and boxing. When he sells them at $5 he still loses $5 dollars but if he doesn’t pick he would lose $6 for each unpicked box. Either way it doesn’t look good for the tomato grower.” Johnson continued, “Though there is a floor price (minimum price) of $8.32 per box on tomatoes, it is common practice for billing to be done at $8.32 on half the amount of boxes delivered, thus many American produce brokers will knowingly receive the second half free, making their “real cost” $4.16 per box.”

    "Meanwhile the brokers and grocery outlet still maintains the same selling price regardless of what they pay per pound. As a rule of thumb, they do not pass the savings on to the consumer.” Figuring the markup, I shook my head knowing that the price of regular tomatoes rarely dips below $2.50.

    [...]

    Over the years, Mexico has softened its stance on land ownership by non-Mexican citizens. Foreigners can now obtain 99 year leases on land inside Mexico and many American packing houses and produce brokers are jumping on the opportunity to invest in farming south of the border. It’s a double edge sword. Push to maintain U.S. farming by fighting a seemingly hopeless battle against NAFTA or prepare for what seems to be the future…Mexico production.

    To those investors it’s a battle for survival laced together with greed since the prices to consumers remain high regardless of savings to the brokers and grocery chains. But there’s more incentives for them to turn to Mexico. False billing on number of boxes received plus claims the crops received are not “Grade A” thus produce prices can be renegotiated and sold as seconds below the floor price. It may not be legal but if you own the farm and control the paperwork who can stop the this type of internal fraud.

    LaPradd pulled another bit of information “from his hat.” Remember the 60,000 acres of limes that were destroyed by our government because of the canker scare a decade ago. In those days, when limes were cheap, federal law required a 42% juice content. When U.S. supplies no longer existed, prices rose due to lack of competition and required juice percentages were disregarded to the benefit of Mexican growers.

    I just read a really good article on the museum director/curator/president thing that really opened my eyes. It turns out to be a really hard job that few people can do. These organizations are like opera houses, on the verge of bankruptcy on a daily basis. A director’s main skill is fundraising. The people who give money are rich white people, in a certain social class, who expect to be feted and treated in a certain way. Curators need to attract and bring in ticket-buying or season-pass-buying customers, who are not racial minorities on the whole.

    The current mayor of New York, who is not known to have ever set foot in a museum, threw in a last-minute inclusion-rider type thing to the budget, such that now museums won’t get city money if they don’t hire minorities in huge numbers.

    The programs that teach curation, a graduate-level degree, have few minorities in them, so the pipeline is empty, but as I said, even if there are minorities in the applicant pool, they may not be the best at the job.

    The writer wrote of a recent controversy at the Noguchi, which was navigating a delicate transition from a private foundation to a public nonprofit. The director decided to spend all her time on making the Noguchi a “sanctuary gallery,” whatever the heck that is. Why is a gallery devoted to a Japanese sculptor harboring illegal aliens? The directors convened and out she went to be replaced by another director.

    About 10 years ago, I remarked to a very smart friend of mine who is an academic, that in America, 50% of all jobs are reserved for women, if they want them. He frankly ridiculed what I said, and talked in a sort of condescending fashion that indicated that he realized that I wasn’t one of the politically correct. As long as I had gone that far, I added that 50% female - well that’s just adequate; the real achievers hire more women and more and more.

    You have to admire the verbiage “another opportunity missed”; what happens when they get to 100% women?

    Actually, this is another Jordan Peterson prediction. He says that the next phase after women want to do these jobs, and women go ahead and do these jobs, is that men no longer want to do those jobs, and then men lie around and women do all the work.

But it’s now clear to me that everything they do is directed towards reducing the white share of the population in historically-white countries and the influence white people have on these societies.

    Sexual libertinism in all its forms has the main effect of suppressing fertility among white people, reducing their share of the population. Meanwhile, the non-white share of the population is increased directly via immigration and indirectly via the smaller impact of the sexually libertine culture on the fertility of these demographic groups. This is exacerbated by the progressive’s environmental views, which are much more likely to persuade white people to curb their fertility than other ethnic groups.

    I guess this should have been obvious to me much sooner, but I just never really appreciated the significance of identity politics. When progressives talk so much about white racism and white privilege, it should not be surprising that they want to reduce the population share and influence of white people. It’s just now they have become so blatant and explicit about it that it’s impossible not to notice. And of course, just to notice this, makes you a racist!

    Exactly. I wouldn't say that this knowledge is even that common among our side. However, if you ask the question "What would need to be promoted in order to reduce the white share of the population and its unity to the point where we were a powerless, disunited minority?", well, you can see that every single means of pushing this is being pushed. From homo worship, transgenderism, limiting population for reasons of selfishness and purported environmental selflessness, to defeat "racism", etc. etc. Sexual libertinism, single parenthood, pro-miscegenation, feminism and female careerism, everything.

    For all who are capable, committing to a wife or a husband and building your own large family in spite of all the propaganda is the most powerful thing we can do. You can even apply a eugenic twist - the more capable you and your wife are, the more children you might feel compelled to have.

They tell me to cut along the floor joists; I have never wielded an axe, never heard the term "joist.” We talk about the dangers of vehicle extrication; I am clueless as to the internal workings of a car. Five months into the job, with all new gear that genuinely fits, and strength that is adequate for most situations, I am still perpetually handicapped by my ignorance of information that boys in our culture just seem to absorb.

    They are all white preferist. They think whiteness is better economically, politically, ethically, aesthetically, and etc. They are closet ‘white supremacists’ and prefer to live in white world than in their own. But they are too ashamed to admit this because it would mean they have inferiority complex.

    Also, in order to gain access to white nations, they must convince white people that Diversity is good and that whiteness is somehow ‘racist’ and only be redeemed by invasion by non-whites.
    Ironically, they degrade and discredit whiteness in order to gain access to it.

    It’s like this. Suppose someone had a big lump of gold while I got a a lump of lead.
    Suppose I want to take his gold.
    Now, if I told him that he got something precious while I got something crappy, he will hold onto his gold.

    So, I must go for another tactic. I would try to convince him that his gold has little value, indeed is equal to my lead or even less precious. I would try to convince him that it’s irrational for him to see his gold as precious. In the name of Metal Equality, all metals are equal in value, so maybe he should give me his gold for my lead.

    Suppose the guy is dumb enough to fall of this. Then, he would be a total cucky-wuck.
    I would have convinced him that his gold is worthless precisely because, deep down inside, I see it as worth a million.

    You have a hand to play – it has value so it’s worth playing, but if you overplay it, you may lose everything, but if you play it right things might work out.

    I’ve lived in some pretty “white” places and you know what blows me away about America: we are such mutts.

    Seriously people get in online echo chambers like this and nothing will crack it – they have no idea how many people they are losing because most people just aren’t a pure shade ‘o white, let alone a white male. But if you look carefully at all these folks – there’s nothing wrong with them – and no reason they can’t be on your side. Next HS football season pick 5 Fridays, then go to five high school football games, 10 schools. Just people watch. You’ll see. That’s “who we are”.

    Secondly – “white people” whatever that is – don’t think they owe anything to each other – and that includes the most self-white-identified people. Think anyone commenting on Unz is going out to help homeless, because the homeless are white? Volunteer in drug rehab because the addicts are white? Any of them gave someone a job, because the applicant was white? Or: if they did – do you think the applicant appreciated it and went the extra mile to return the favor? Think two white people negotiating a contract are any less likely to screw each other, because white?

    There is something of value – so that’s why I say you have a hand to play and since it has value it’s worth playing, but it has about as much to do with “white” as it does with having the last name “Smith” and “Jones”.

    I’ve lived in some pretty “white” places and you know what blows me away about America: we are such mutts.

    White dogs attract other dogs and, for a while, there is a tolerable state of modest mutt-hood. But as non-white dogs keep coming and breeding and interbreeding, it all goes to the dogs. After all, there are mutt-nations all over the world. But mutts there don't like it and want to move to where white dogs are. Even when dark mutts move to western nations that have been mutted, they prefer those with lots of white dogs. In other words, US and Canada are preferable to Latin America because the former two still have more white dogs.

    many people they are losing because most people just aren’t a pure shade ‘o white

    So, you say whites shouldn't mindful of color. But the thing is non-whites are very mindful of color. They think 'color' all the time. They look at the map for white nations and move there.
    Non-whites are even mindful of shades of color. When Africans and Muslims arrive in Europe, they pass across swarthy whites and try to go to pale white nations.

    Secondly – “white people” whatever that is – don’t think they owe anything to each other – and that includes the most self-white-identified people. Think anyone commenting on Unz is going out to help homeless, because the homeless are white?

    You're talking of extreme cases. Sure, there will always be druggies, bums, and lunatics. No one expects whites to go around helping self-destructive white losers.
    But there are general policies on the national level that are good for the community as a whole. Take something like 'free trade'. Elites must ask what impact it will have on the nation as a whole. Or consider the impact of mass invasion. Or feminism that takes jobs away from men.
    Who will benefit and who will lose out? So, even though most of us are not going to help people in drug rehab, we can support national policies that are mindful of what is good for the whole nation.

    Actually, this is another Jordan Peterson prediction. He says that the next phase after women want to do these jobs, and women go ahead and do these jobs, is that men no longer want to do those jobs, and then men lie around and women do all the work.

    Whenever I talk to a reasonably beefy female , black or white, under about 45 or 50, who is whining that she can not find a job, I tell her that I know a company who will hire her.

    Unless she has some serious physical disability, a very serious felony history, is too fat to climb the steps of a GE Dash 9 locomotive, or is actually borderline (or worse) mentally retarded, I know an employer who will hire her and put her to work. The work is usually not all that hard although occasionally a little effort actually be needed. Hours can be a little odd. But the pay is excellent-never less than $50K a year, first year, and eventually will probably six figures with some overtime.

    They show some interest until I tell them what the job is. “It’s the railroad”.

    Seriously, most Class 1 railroads in the US and some of the Class 2s are utterly obsessed with “Diversity Hires”-females, blacks and mestizos. (Asians too, but Asians are not interested either, and they are not especially hot to hire them: they are considered more or less whites. The only Asians I saw in the yard the last time I was on property were math heads on a track geometry car.)

    The females, of any race including white, are not applying. They do not want to be train crew. Nor carmen-I mean carpersons-nor the diesel shop.

    But the railroads still spend a lot of effort to persuade them and will hire almost any that apply even if it means waiving every possible requirement from the job description. Can’t pick up a coupler knuckle? No problem. Functionally illiterate? Ehhh. Zero mechanical aptitude? That’s trainable. Meanwhile, pale males (especially if stale) are stuck on the ground and the system is understaffed, running up overtime and delaying freight.

    how the Irish "stole all the good jobs" and were "shiftless and lazy" upon arriving on our beautiful shores in the 1850's. They were viewed as the "nonwhite 'missing link' between the superior European and the savage African. Russell notes from a excerpt from the Boston Globe during this decade that "In the popular press, the Irish were depicted as subhuman. They were carriers of disease. They were drawn as lazy, clannish, unclean, drunken brawlers who wallowed in crime and bred like rats. Most disturbingly, the Irish were Roman Catholics coming to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation and their devotion to the pope made their allegiance to the United States suspect."

    Noel Ignatiev explains in his book "How The Irish Became White" that “While the white skin made the Irish eligible for membership in the white race, it did not guarantee their admission; they had to earn it.”

But they are too ashamed to admit this because it would mean they have inferiority complex.

    Also, in order to gain access to white nations, they must convince white people that Diversity is good and that whiteness is somehow ‘racist’ and only be redeemed by invasion by non-whites.
    Ironically, they degrade and discredit whiteness in order to gain access to it.

    It’s like this. Suppose someone had a big lump of gold while I got a a lump of lead.
    Suppose I want to take his gold.
    Now, if I told him that he got something precious while I got something crappy, he will hold onto his gold.

    So, I must go for another tactic. I would try to convince him that his gold has little value, indeed is equal to my lead or even less precious. I would try to convince him that it’s irrational for him to see his gold as precious. In the name of Metal Equality, all metals are equal in value, so maybe he should give me his gold for my lead.

    Suppose the guy is dumb enough to fall of this. Then, he would be a total cucky-wuck.
    I would have convinced him that his gold is worthless precisely because, deep down inside, I see it as worth a million.

    Their are still a number of Indians living in Brooklyn, many of them iron and steel workers. Since they already sold Manhattan, I am sure their descendants would sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

    Of course I have no idea if this is true or not. I do know that Indians continued to live in Manhattan, sale or no sale. The Dutch built a wooden wall to keep them out — the location of present day Wall Street. The Indians used the wall as firewood in the winter.

    The biggest complaints about "where are you from?" come from native-born Americans of Asian descent. Meaning, "where you came from" is the United States.

    Still, Sinco said the apparent economic incentive for owners of residential property to house H-2A workers rather than long-term residents is concerning. Agricultural employers and labor contractors—many that are in desperate need of labor—are willing to pay huge sums of money to house H-2A workers, Sinco said, sometimes more than double market price.

    That incentive, Sinco said, could make it even more difficult for long-term residents to rent or buy property in a city already experiencing a housing shortage. According to statistics included in Sinco’s staff report, only 4 percent of Santa Maria’s rental properties were vacant as of December 2016.

    They are all white preferist. They think whiteness is better economically, politically, ethically, aesthetically, and etc. They are closet ‘white supremacists’ and prefer to live in white world than in their own. But they are too ashamed to admit this because it would mean they have inferiority complex.

    Also, in order to gain access to white nations, they must convince white people that Diversity is good and that whiteness is somehow ‘racist’ and only be redeemed by invasion by non-whites.
    Ironically, they degrade and discredit whiteness in order to gain access to it.

    It’s like this. Suppose someone had a big lump of gold while I got a a lump of lead.
    Suppose I want to take his gold.
    Now, if I told him that he got something precious while I got something crappy, he will hold onto his gold.

    So, I must go for another tactic. I would try to convince him that his gold has little value, indeed is equal to my lead or even less precious. I would try to convince him that it’s irrational for him to see his gold as precious. In the name of Metal Equality, all metals are equal in value, so maybe he should give me his gold for my lead.

    Suppose the guy is dumb enough to fall of this. Then, he would be a total cucky-wuck.
    I would have convinced him that his gold is worthless precisely because, deep down inside, I see it as worth a million.

    You and res need a history lesson. Europeans got free stuff and gimmedats in the form of slave labor and by way of resource plundering. Now, of course they did what other peoples have done since the dawn of time. But the fact remains that a number of European nations, rather than regularly purchasing natural resources from the Asians and Africans at a fair market price, simply helped themselves time and time again, using shady tactics and violence to accomplish their goals.

    "Cecil Rhodes and seven partners owned a block of 90 claims in the De Beers Mining Company Ltd, named for its land holdings on the old De Beers ranch. Rhodes was a successful politician, and he helped to draft laws that protected the mining companies. Taxation on mining profits was kept very low. The Diamond Trade Act was aimed at diamond stealing and smuggling, but it also set two very dangerous social precedents. First, anyone found with an uncut diamond was required to explain how it came into his possession, that is, guilt was assumed while innocence had to be proved. This is a European concept, but is not usually found in English or American law. Second, the Diamond Trade Act allowed the companies to set up "searching-houses" in a system of routine surveillance, searching, and stripping by company police. This curtailment of private rights and personal liberty became a fact of South African society. The companies were forced by strikes to be more lenient to their white workers than to blacks. The logical extension of this policy was to set up segregated, controlled, fenced-off compounds to house Africans for the length of their work contracts with the company: the first apartheid."

    http://mygeologypage.ucdavis.edu/cowen/~gel115/115ch15diamonds.html

    But at least we can take comfort that Rhodes said it was OK to be white--"I contend that we [the British] are the first race in the world, and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race."

    Thaddeus Russell explains in his book “The Renegade History of the United States,”
    how the Irish “stole all the good jobs” and were “shiftless and lazy” upon arriving on our beautiful shores in the 1850’s. They were viewed as the “nonwhite ‘missing link’ between the superior European and the savage African. Russell notes from a excerpt from the Boston Globe during this decade that “In the popular press, the Irish were depicted as subhuman. They were carriers of disease. They were drawn as lazy, clannish, unclean, drunken brawlers who wallowed in crime and bred like rats. Most disturbingly, the Irish were Roman Catholics coming to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation and their devotion to the pope made their allegiance to the United States suspect.”

    Well if they arrived in the 1850s and were granted naturalization, then there were considered white by the government.

    Whether they were accepted with open arms by the existing population is another story. Each immigrant group from Europe went through a similar period in which they were viewed with suspicion by the existing population until they weren't.

    I recall transferring to my first duty assignment after basic training. I legally was assigned to an infantry company because I had valid orders. But that didn't mean the guys in my new company welcomed me with open arms. I was basically told that as a new member of the unit I needed to keep my mouth shut and ears open, and I endured several shit tests for a period of time until it stopped, and I was one of the guys. But by the time it occurred, I had blended in with them, not the other way around.

    Note I changed for the group, not the other way. And so to with early European immigrants who caught hell when they got off the boat with their foreign tongue, distinctive clothing, grooming and other habits. There was a push among those groups to ape WASP behavior as part of the process of their becoming American.

    I’d agree it takes a bit more insight into civilization–what it is, how it works–to see that feminism is a mortal threat, while the mortal threat of invasion is obvious.

    But … that doesn’t somehow flip reality. Invasion–as is now happening to the West, through mass immigration–is the greatest threat to any civilization. Civilization 101 is men being able to cooperate sufficiently to join together and repel invasion. Everything else is built on top of that.

    I'm not particularly bright so it took a long time for me to figure out what fundamentally drives the progressive agenda. In particular, I couldn't work out why they are so keen on sexual libertinism but also push so strongly for the immigration of groups of people who do not share these libertine views. But it's now clear to me that everything they do is directed towards reducing the white share of the population in historically-white countries and the influence white people have on these societies.

    Sexual libertinism in all its forms has the main effect of suppressing fertility among white people, reducing their share of the population. Meanwhile, the non-white share of the population is increased directly via immigration and indirectly via the smaller impact of the sexually libertine culture on the fertility of these demographic groups. This is exacerbated by the progressive's environmental views, which are much more likely to persuade white people to curb their fertility than other ethnic groups.

    I guess this should have been obvious to me much sooner, but I just never really appreciated the significance of identity politics. When progressives talk so much about white racism and white privilege, it should not be surprising that they want to reduce the population share and influence of white people. It's just now they have become so blatant and explicit about it that it's impossible not to notice. And of course, just to notice this, makes you a racist!

    You are overplaying your hand.
    And the trouble with me saying so is that's like a cliche and you probably won't stop and think about what it means.
    You have a hand to play - it has value so it's worth playing, but if you overplay it, you may lose everything, but if you play it right things might work out.

    I've lived in some pretty "white" places and you know what blows me away about America: we are such mutts.

    Seriously people get in online echo chambers like this and nothing will crack it - they have no idea how many people they are losing because most people just aren't a pure shade 'o white, let alone a white male. But if you look carefully at all these folks - there's nothing wrong with them - and no reason they can't be on your side. Next HS football season pick 5 Fridays, then go to five high school football games, 10 schools. Just people watch. You'll see. That's "who we are".

    Secondly - "white people" whatever that is - don't think they owe anything to each other - and that includes the most self-white-identified people. Think anyone commenting on Unz is going out to help homeless, because the homeless are white? Volunteer in drug rehab because the addicts are white? Any of them gave someone a job, because the applicant was white? Or: if they did - do you think the applicant appreciated it and went the extra mile to return the favor? Think two white people negotiating a contract are any less likely to screw each other, because white?

    There is something of value - so that's why I say you have a hand to play and since it has value it's worth playing, but it has about as much to do with "white" as it does with having the last name "Smith" and "Jones".

    White dogs attract other dogs and, for a while, there is a tolerable state of modest mutt-hood. But as non-white dogs keep coming and breeding and interbreeding, it all goes to the dogs. After all, there are mutt-nations all over the world. But mutts there don’t like it and want to move to where white dogs are. Even when dark mutts move to western nations that have been mutted, they prefer those with lots of white dogs. In other words, US and Canada are preferable to Latin America because the former two still have more white dogs.

    many people they are losing because most people just aren’t a pure shade ‘o white

    So, you say whites shouldn’t mindful of color. But the thing is non-whites are very mindful of color. They think ‘color’ all the time. They look at the map for white nations and move there.
    Non-whites are even mindful of shades of color. When Africans and Muslims arrive in Europe, they pass across swarthy whites and try to go to pale white nations.

    Secondly – “white people” whatever that is – don’t think they owe anything to each other – and that includes the most self-white-identified people. Think anyone commenting on Unz is going out to help homeless, because the homeless are white?

    You’re talking of extreme cases. Sure, there will always be druggies, bums, and lunatics. No one expects whites to go around helping self-destructive white losers.
    But there are general policies on the national level that are good for the community as a whole. Take something like ‘free trade’. Elites must ask what impact it will have on the nation as a whole. Or consider the impact of mass invasion. Or feminism that takes jobs away from men.
    Who will benefit and who will lose out? So, even though most of us are not going to help people in drug rehab, we can support national policies that are mindful of what is good for the whole nation.

    There is some speculation that the Dutch ran across the Canarsie Indians, visiting from Brooklyn. The Canarsie, of course, had no claim on the land, and were thus more than happy to sell if for whatever they could get.

    Their are still a number of Indians living in Brooklyn, many of them iron and steel workers. Since they already sold Manhattan, I am sure their descendants would sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

    Of course I have no idea if this is true or not. I do know that Indians continued to live in Manhattan, sale or no sale. The Dutch built a wooden wall to keep them out -- the location of present day Wall Street. The Indians used the wall as firewood in the winter.

    My remarks weren't meant to be logical, I was just venting. I'm from the Midwest and I am nice to people's faces. But I lived in a college town for years (Columbia, MO, home of Mizzou) and I had a bellyful of the snotty attitudes of Asians toward white Americans (they don't even acknowledge the existence of blacks).

    These Asians may have been invited and wanted by our government but there are plenty of citizens who are as fed up as I am. I went from friendly and welcoming to full avoidance mode. For someone with a lifelong habit of chatting up strangers who seem open to conversation, that is a huge change.

He the sponsored his Spanish wife...to suggest that my parents were invited into America is not accurate. My mother was invited by her Cuban Husband. In 1999 I married an illegal alien , and sponsored her for a green card... she then sponsored her mother and siblings...

Not like in an Einstein Brothers bagel shop, where not only is the interior decorating specifically stereotypically Jewish, but they never got the memo about the Frankfurt School being a one-off, and they embrace modern and abrasive art as an essentially Jewish thing. It is truly work for future historians that observing the in-your-face, proudly proclaimed ethnic backgrounds of employees and programmers at cultural engineering-prone media organs is taken as proof of "obsession," but there's nothing "obsessive" about constantly reminding people that Christians own Chik-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby.

    I'm not particularly bright so it took a long time for me to figure out what fundamentally drives the progressive agenda. In particular, I couldn't work out why they are so keen on sexual libertinism but also push so strongly for the immigration of groups of people who do not share these libertine views. But it's now clear to me that everything they do is directed towards reducing the white share of the population in historically-white countries and the influence white people have on these societies.

    Sexual libertinism in all its forms has the main effect of suppressing fertility among white people, reducing their share of the population. Meanwhile, the non-white share of the population is increased directly via immigration and indirectly via the smaller impact of the sexually libertine culture on the fertility of these demographic groups. This is exacerbated by the progressive's environmental views, which are much more likely to persuade white people to curb their fertility than other ethnic groups.

    I guess this should have been obvious to me much sooner, but I just never really appreciated the significance of identity politics. When progressives talk so much about white racism and white privilege, it should not be surprising that they want to reduce the population share and influence of white people. It's just now they have become so blatant and explicit about it that it's impossible not to notice. And of course, just to notice this, makes you a racist! I know this is not news to most people here, but it must be dawning on more and more people.

    Exactly. I wouldn’t say that this knowledge is even that common among our side. However, if you ask the question “What would need to be promoted in order to reduce the white share of the population and its unity to the point where we were a powerless, disunited minority?”, well, you can see that every single means of pushing this is being pushed. From homo worship, transgenderism, limiting population for reasons of selfishness and purported environmental selflessness, to defeat “racism”, etc. etc. Sexual libertinism, single parenthood, pro-miscegenation, feminism and female careerism, everything.

    For all who are capable, committing to a wife or a husband and building your own large family in spite of all the propaganda is the most powerful thing we can do. You can even apply a eugenic twist – the more capable you and your wife are, the more children you might feel compelled to have.

    Despite the subterfuges that agents employ, word spreads when “la migra” ­­— Spanish slang for the immigration service — is on the way. In Tar Heel, within weeks of the raid, nearly half of the workforce at the plant — more than 2,000 employees and their families — simply left the region. The loss of workers forced Smithfield to increase wages, which attracted more African Americans, who were far more likely to vote for union representation. By 2008, workers who typically started at about $8 an hour had organized under the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and received a raise of $1.50 an hour, the largest pay raise in the history of the plant. It was an unusual victory for factory workers in the South, where right-to-work, anti-union views flourish.

    Tomato farmers in South Florida say they’re being driven out of business by the outsourcing of their industry to Mexico.

    This article – “Hurricane NAFTA” – ran on the front page of today’s South Dade News Leader, a small weekly paper in Homestead:
    http://www.southdadenewsleader.com/news/hurricane-nafta/article_5ec17128-3eaf-11e8-a238-6360cd1b9a7c.html

    Mexico, with a massive, cheap labor force chooses to buy grain from the U.S. and concentrate on growing crops that are labor intensive. As a result, wherein the past 30,000 acres were dedicated to tomatoes in Miami-Dade County, less than 1,000 acres are currently cultivated. As domestic food sources are dwindling, the federal government continues to turn a blind eye on this problem potentially affecting our national security.

    Here’s how it works. According to second generation South Dade Farmer Sal Finocchiaro, “a Mexican laborer makes about $8 per day while a U. S. worker receives a minimum wage of $8.25 an hour. Thus, the labor expense for a Florida farmer is over 10 times higher. Combine that with our greater cost of land, higher prices of regulated fertilizers and insecticides plus EPA regulation and you have a 25-pound box of tomatoes with a break even point of $10. Meanwhile, the Mexican farmer has inexpensive land, cheap labor including use of children, unregulated use of inexpensive chemicals that are prohibited in the United States and little or no health and quality control.”

    […]

    Johnson took me into one of his sparsely used warehouses showing me beautiful tomatoes from local grower Kern Carpenter. I bought four 25 pound boxes at $5.00 per box…that’s 20 cents a pound. Johnson explained, “It takes Kern $10 per box to break even. Out of that, $4 is for picking and boxing. When he sells them at $5 he still loses $5 dollars but if he doesn’t pick he would lose $6 for each unpicked box. Either way it doesn’t look good for the tomato grower.” Johnson continued, “Though there is a floor price (minimum price) of $8.32 per box on tomatoes, it is common practice for billing to be done at $8.32 on half the amount of boxes delivered, thus many American produce brokers will knowingly receive the second half free, making their “real cost” $4.16 per box.”

    “Meanwhile the brokers and grocery outlet still maintains the same selling price regardless of what they pay per pound. As a rule of thumb, they do not pass the savings on to the consumer.” Figuring the markup, I shook my head knowing that the price of regular tomatoes rarely dips below $2.50.

    […]

    Over the years, Mexico has softened its stance on land ownership by non-Mexican citizens. Foreigners can now obtain 99 year leases on land inside Mexico and many American packing houses and produce brokers are jumping on the opportunity to invest in farming south of the border. It’s a double edge sword. Push to maintain U.S. farming by fighting a seemingly hopeless battle against NAFTA or prepare for what seems to be the future…Mexico production.

    To those investors it’s a battle for survival laced together with greed since the prices to consumers remain high regardless of savings to the brokers and grocery chains. But there’s more incentives for them to turn to Mexico. False billing on number of boxes received plus claims the crops received are not “Grade A” thus produce prices can be renegotiated and sold as seconds below the floor price. It may not be legal but if you own the farm and control the paperwork who can stop the this type of internal fraud.

    […]

    LaPradd pulled another bit of information “from his hat.” Remember the 60,000 acres of limes that were destroyed by our government because of the canker scare a decade ago. In those days, when limes were cheap, federal law required a 42% juice content. When U.S. supplies no longer existed, prices rose due to lack of competition and required juice percentages were disregarded to the benefit of Mexican growers.

    how the Irish “stole all the good jobs” and were “shiftless and lazy” upon arriving on our beautiful shores in the 1850′s. They were viewed as the “nonwhite ‘missing link’ between the superior European and the savage African. Russell notes from a excerpt from the Boston Globe during this decade that “In the popular press, the Irish were depicted as subhuman. They were carriers of disease. They were drawn as lazy, clannish, unclean, drunken brawlers who wallowed in crime and bred like rats. Most disturbingly, the Irish were Roman Catholics coming to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation and their devotion to the pope made their allegiance to the United States suspect.”

    Noel Ignatiev explains in his book “How The Irish Became White” that “While the white skin made the Irish eligible for membership in the white race, it did not guarantee their admission; they had to earn it.”

    And yet they were right. As late as the 1960s, some American Irish were still funding paramilitaries against supposedly allied UK and such sympathies extended to the political elites of Irish origin, like the Kennedys. The discussion of how previous outsider groups became part of the majority should not exclude the significant and long term troubles associated with the process. And, this is maybe speculative, while I have no problem with Catholics, I feel that, just like with the White Australia policy, the gradual softening on the stance for immigration leads to a slippery slope which inexorably leads to diluted national consciousness and fertile ground for non-European immigration. Just like I am starting to hear from acquaintances that "at least those immigrants are Christian" while referring to Africans and the like.

    Raffi Ciavatta, a leader with the group, said they do not "have the capacity right now" to protest the new restaurant with other campaigns going on, including traveling down to North Carolina to demonstrate an industrial pig farm they said sprays feces into neighboring communities.
     

    It is my observation that gay- and tranny-rights activists do nothing but spray feces - figuratively and (disturbingly often) literally.

    "New York is considered the birthplace of LGBTQ rights and is a strong voice for animals as well," said Ciavatta, 33. "It deserves better than allowing a homophobic, transphobic and speciesist company to make money from violence. And now they're opening another store."
     
    Truthfully, I do find the speciesist lack of diversity in Chick-fil-A's ads disturbing. All we ever see are cows. A truly representative company would include pigs ("Eat les bacin!") and lambs ("Say noe to gyrows!") in its promotional campaigns.

    Ciavatta, who is transgender, said the group was also "disappointed" there wasn't more of a sustained boycott. Case in point: the customer Ciavatta recalls who told protesters at restaurant, "I am not homophobic, I'm not racist. I'm just here for the chicken."

    "I'm just baffled by folks,” Ciavatta said. "People tend to compartmentalize things in order to be able to justify going to these places, which is very disappointing to me."
     

    I'm baffled by folks who have nothing better to do with their lives than to obsess about where strangers eat lunch. Remember when it was the Left that accused the Right of trying to regulate private behavior? ("What people do with their own time and their own money is no one else's business!")

    Incidentally, the only Chick-fil-A near me is in a mall food court. It's always very crowded. I do like the chicken, but I haven't been there in a while - my schedule doesn't allow much time for mallratting these days.

    In fact, the last time I went to the mall was back in January, on the weekend before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Microsoft store, of all places, was plastered with huge signs imploring customers to "celebrate" his life.

    Speaking of MLK, was anyone else surprised to see what a big deal they made of his fiftieth deathday a couple of weeks ago? At least one of my local TV stations interrupted regular programming to cover the anniversary events. I thought it was morbid, to say the least.

Five months into the job, with all new gear that genuinely fits, and strength that is adequate for most situations, I am still perpetually handicapped by my ignorance of information that boys in our culture just seem to absorb.

The work is usually not all that hard although occasionally a little effort actually be needed. Hours can be a little odd. But the pay is excellent-never less than $50K a year, first year, and eventually will probably six figures with some overtime.

    They show some interest until I tell them what the job is. "It's the railroad".

    Seriously, most Class 1 railroads in the US and some of the Class 2s are utterly obsessed with "Diversity Hires"-females, blacks and mestizos.

Can't pick up a coupler knuckle? No problem. Functionally illiterate? Ehhh. Zero mechanical aptitude? That's trainable.

    Thaddeus Russell explains in his book "The Renegade History of the United States,"
    how the Irish "stole all the good jobs" and were "shiftless and lazy" upon arriving on our beautiful shores in the 1850's. They were viewed as the "nonwhite 'missing link' between the superior European and the savage African. Russell notes from a excerpt from the Boston Globe during this decade that "In the popular press, the Irish were depicted as subhuman. They were carriers of disease. They were drawn as lazy, clannish, unclean, drunken brawlers who wallowed in crime and bred like rats. Most disturbingly, the Irish were Roman Catholics coming to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation and their devotion to the pope made their allegiance to the United States suspect."

    Noel Ignatiev explains in his book "How The Irish Became White" that “While the white skin made the Irish eligible for membership in the white race, it did not guarantee their admission; they had to earn it.”

    Well if they arrived in the 1850s and were granted naturalization, then there were considered white by the government.

    Whether they were accepted with open arms by the existing population is another story. Each immigrant group from Europe went through a similar period in which they were viewed with suspicion by the existing population until they weren’t.

    I recall transferring to my first duty assignment after basic training. I legally was assigned to an infantry company because I had valid orders. But that didn’t mean the guys in my new company welcomed me with open arms. I was basically told that as a new member of the unit I needed to keep my mouth shut and ears open, and I endured several shit tests for a period of time until it stopped, and I was one of the guys. But by the time it occurred, I had blended in with them, not the other way around.

    Note I changed for the group, not the other way. And so to with early European immigrants who caught hell when they got off the boat with their foreign tongue, distinctive clothing, grooming and other habits. There was a push among those groups to ape WASP behavior as part of the process of their becoming American.

    Since when is the government ever right? Besides, just because the Irish were legally recognized as white, it does no mean socially they met that description.

    But, I would imagine, using your logic, that it would be OK then for the government to grant naturalization to Central/South Americans and designate them as white. Just confirming for a friend.

    "Whether they were accepted with open arms by the existing population is another story."

    No, it's part of the same story.

    Replace "Europe" with "throughout the world".

    "Note I changed for the group, not the other way."

    Indeed, as do immigrants from places other than Europe today.

It is truly work for future historians that observing the in-your-face, proudly proclaimed ethnic backgrounds of employees and programmers at cultural engineering-prone media organs is taken as proof of “obsession,” but there’s nothing “obsessive” about constantly reminding people that Christians own Chik-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby.

    A South African man has been charged with attempted murder after throwing his six-month-old daughter off the top of a shack in an illegal township to stop it being demolished. The 38-year-old had taken the baby and climbed on top of their home in protest against dozens of shacks at a township in Kwadwesi, near Port Elizabeth on South Africa’s eastern cape coast being lined up for destruction. As half-a-dozen policemen lined up on the ground below him and one climbed up to try to talk him down, the man dangled the baby over the edge by her ankle, before swinging her over the edge.

    Township protesters could be heard egging the agitated dad on with chants of: ‘Throw, throw, throw’.

    Images show the police officer on the roof rushing forward to grab the father but not before he threw the baby. Fortunately, the girl was caught by the policemen standing below, and did not suffer any injuries. The father was arrested and handcuffed and was officially charged by police with attempted murder. The drama happened after 90 shacks built illegally at the Joe Slovo township in Kwadwesi were ordered to be demolished.

    The South African Police Service had been sent in to ensure the safety of the demolition team as 150 protesters began serious rioting throwing bricks and closing off roads with burning tyres. As calm was being restored this man climbed onto the roof of his shack with his child and threatened to throw her to her death if the demolishers did not back off and leave his home alone.

    When negotiators failed to talk him down a rescue plan was launched by police which ended successfully with the fathers’ arrest and the safe recovery of the toddler who was thrown off the shack.

    A reminder of how culturally divergent New York media elites are from normal people: An entire article in the New Yorker about a Chick-fil-A opening in their neighborhood. Apparently, the friendly vibe is creepy. Also, the owners are Christians.

    Even the gays are eating at Chick-fil-A these days:
    https://www.thrillist.com/eat/chick-fil-a-nyc-locations-gay-rights-activists

    If you’re wondering why people in deep-blue New York City are unfazed by the company’s past anti-LGBTQ stances, you’re not alone. Mostly, it seems, their desire for chicken biscuits has overruled their professed ethics.

    On a recent afternoon, hungry Midtown diners packed into Chick-fil-A’s Sixth Avenue location near Rockefeller Center. Among them was a conflicted chicken enthusiast who declined to give me his name. “As a gay man, it’s always an internal fight,” he said. “But the chicken is so good.” He boycotted the chain for several years, “then started going back” after major wins like the national legalization of gay marriage.

    Like a handful of other customers I spoke with, he said at some point you have to separate the words of some business owners with the products they offer if you are to get through the day.

    And even the tranny animal-rights wackos have backed off:

    Animal liberation and LGBTQ rights group Collectively Free organized a “kiss-in” when Chick-fil-A’s first location opened at Sixth Avenue and 37th Street.

    Raffi Ciavatta, a leader with the group, said they do not “have the capacity right now” to protest the new restaurant with other campaigns going on, including traveling down to North Carolina to demonstrate an industrial pig farm they said sprays feces into neighboring communities.

    It is my observation that gay- and tranny-rights activists do nothing but spray feces – figuratively and (disturbingly often) literally.

    “New York is considered the birthplace of LGBTQ rights and is a strong voice for animals as well,” said Ciavatta, 33. “It deserves better than allowing a homophobic, transphobic and speciesist company to make money from violence. And now they’re opening another store.”

    Truthfully, I do find the speciesist lack of diversity in Chick-fil-A’s ads disturbing. All we ever see are cows. A truly representative company would include pigs (“Eat les bacin!”) and lambs (“Say noe to gyrows!”) in its promotional campaigns.

    Ciavatta, who is transgender, said the group was also “disappointed” there wasn’t more of a sustained boycott. Case in point: the customer Ciavatta recalls who told protesters at restaurant, “I am not homophobic, I’m not racist. I’m just here for the chicken.”

    “I’m just baffled by folks,” Ciavatta said. “People tend to compartmentalize things in order to be able to justify going to these places, which is very disappointing to me.”

    I’m baffled by folks who have nothing better to do with their lives than to obsess about where strangers eat lunch. Remember when it was the Left that accused the Right of trying to regulate private behavior? (“What people do with their own time and their own money is no one else’s business!”)

    Incidentally, the only Chick-fil-A near me is in a mall food court. It’s always very crowded. I do like the chicken, but I haven’t been there in a while – my schedule doesn’t allow much time for mallratting these days.

    In fact, the last time I went to the mall was back in January, on the weekend before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Microsoft store, of all places, was plastered with huge signs imploring customers to “celebrate” his life.

    Speaking of MLK, was anyone else surprised to see what a big deal they made of his fiftieth deathday a couple of weeks ago? At least one of my local TV stations interrupted regular programming to cover the anniversary events. I thought it was morbid, to say the least.

    I’ve thought the same. They have publicly stated that there will be consequences for this attack, so we’ll see in the coming days if there is.

    As an aside, there is no way the Russians didn’t know about this attack as it was happening, whatever anyone may say. These were all cruise missiles, so they could have been shot down – cruise missiles are relatively slow flying and non-stealthy; therefore, they are more easily intercepted (even by fighter aircraft) and destroyed.

    If I were a Russian advisor, I might recommend attacking Libya in response. The chances of retaliation from the government are very low, it’s nearby, and there are probably at least a few good targets there – including American contractors they could target in revenge for Russian contractors being killed a few weeks ago (Pompeo crowed about it recently: “they met their match”). They could justify it as a humanitarian mission but attack their oil facilities while they are at it and give a boost to the Russian economy.

    how the Irish “stole all the good jobs” and were “shiftless and lazy” upon arriving on our beautiful shores in the 1850′s. They were viewed as the “nonwhite ‘missing link’ between the superior European and the savage African. Russell notes from a excerpt from the Boston Globe during this decade that “In the popular press, the Irish were depicted as subhuman. They were carriers of disease. They were drawn as lazy, clannish, unclean, drunken brawlers who wallowed in crime and bred like rats. Most disturbingly, the Irish were Roman Catholics coming to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation and their devotion to the pope made their allegiance to the United States suspect.”

    Noel Ignatiev explains in his book “How The Irish Became White” that “While the white skin made the Irish eligible for membership in the white race, it did not guarantee their admission; they had to earn it.”

And, this is maybe speculative, while I have no problem with Catholics, I feel that, just like with the White Australia policy, the gradual softening on the stance for immigration leads to a slippery slope which inexorably leads to diluted national consciousness and fertile ground for non-European immigration.

    English, German, French, Scottish, even Italian and Polish Catholics were hardly ever a problem. They could hold their liquor and, except for some of the French, did not have long-term grudges against the English. The Irish were outliers. It was race war in sectarian clothing.

    I’ve lived in some pretty “white” places and you know what blows me away about America: we are such mutts.

    White dogs attract other dogs and, for a while, there is a tolerable state of modest mutt-hood. But as non-white dogs keep coming and breeding and interbreeding, it all goes to the dogs. After all, there are mutt-nations all over the world. But mutts there don't like it and want to move to where white dogs are. Even when dark mutts move to western nations that have been mutted, they prefer those with lots of white dogs. In other words, US and Canada are preferable to Latin America because the former two still have more white dogs.

    many people they are losing because most people just aren’t a pure shade ‘o white

    So, you say whites shouldn't mindful of color. But the thing is non-whites are very mindful of color. They think 'color' all the time. They look at the map for white nations and move there.
    Non-whites are even mindful of shades of color. When Africans and Muslims arrive in Europe, they pass across swarthy whites and try to go to pale white nations.

    Secondly – “white people” whatever that is – don’t think they owe anything to each other – and that includes the most self-white-identified people. Think anyone commenting on Unz is going out to help homeless, because the homeless are white?

    You're talking of extreme cases. Sure, there will always be druggies, bums, and lunatics. No one expects whites to go around helping self-destructive white losers.
    But there are general policies on the national level that are good for the community as a whole. Take something like 'free trade'. Elites must ask what impact it will have on the nation as a whole. Or consider the impact of mass invasion. Or feminism that takes jobs away from men.
    Who will benefit and who will lose out? So, even though most of us are not going to help people in drug rehab, we can support national policies that are mindful of what is good for the whole nation.

    Whether they were accepted with open arms by the existing population is another story. Each immigrant group from Europe went through a similar period in which they were viewed with suspicion by the existing population until they weren't.

I was basically told that as a new member of the unit I needed to keep my mouth shut and ears open, and I endured several shit tests for a period of time until it stopped, and I was one of the guys. But by the time it occurred, I had blended in with them, not the other way around.

    Note I changed for the group, not the other way.

    You are over-generalizing here. In many if not most cases there were parties who favored American intervention, and were more than willing to cut deals for American support. Just as in America today, many peoples worldwide are willing to enlist the aid of an outsider to hammer on their ancient tribal enemies.

    "Those societal schisms were in large part due to American foreign policies, as well as European imperialistic machinations. Do not be a fool."

    The societal schisms existed long before the Europeans first appeared on the horizon. The Europeans may have aggravated or exploited existing schisms for various purposes, but they had no need to invent what was already extant. Why would one be a fool to doubt that American foreign policies were largely responsible for societal schisms in these areas? Do you have persuasive evidence that demonstrates my foolishness?

    You and res need a history lesson. Europeans got free stuff and gimmedats in the form of slave labor and by way of resource plundering. Now, of course they did what other peoples have done since the dawn of time. But the fact remains that a number of European nations, rather than regularly purchasing natural resources from the Asians and Africans at a fair market price, simply helped themselves time and time again, using shady tactics and violence to accomplish their goals.

    “Cecil Rhodes and seven partners owned a block of 90 claims in the De Beers Mining Company Ltd, named for its land holdings on the old De Beers ranch. Rhodes was a successful politician, and he helped to draft laws that protected the mining companies. Taxation on mining profits was kept very low. The Diamond Trade Act was aimed at diamond stealing and smuggling, but it also set two very dangerous social precedents. First, anyone found with an uncut diamond was required to explain how it came into his possession, that is, guilt was assumed while innocence had to be proved. This is a European concept, but is not usually found in English or American law. Second, the Diamond Trade Act allowed the companies to set up “searching-houses” in a system of routine surveillance, searching, and stripping by company police. This curtailment of private rights and personal liberty became a fact of South African society. The companies were forced by strikes to be more lenient to their white workers than to blacks. The logical extension of this policy was to set up segregated, controlled, fenced-off compounds to house Africans for the length of their work contracts with the company: the first apartheid.”

    http://mygeologypage.ucdavis.edu/cowen/~gel115/115ch15diamonds.html

    But at least we can take comfort that Rhodes said it was OK to be white–“I contend that we [the British] are the first race in the world, and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race.”

    My wife, ever the eager and inclusive conversationalist, was sitting next to an asian lady and wanted to bring her in to the discussion. This lady had not yet said a word, but my wife goes “are you from China?”

    I just read a really good article on the museum director/curator/president thing that really opened my eyes. It turns out to be a really hard job that few people can do. These organizations are like opera houses, on the verge of bankruptcy on a daily basis. A director's main skill is fundraising. The people who give money are rich white people, in a certain social class, who expect to be feted and treated in a certain way. Curators need to attract and bring in ticket-buying or season-pass-buying customers, who are not racial minorities on the whole.

    The current mayor of New York, who is not known to have ever set foot in a museum, threw in a last-minute inclusion-rider type thing to the budget, such that now museums won't get city money if they don't hire minorities in huge numbers.

    The programs that teach curation, a graduate-level degree, have few minorities in them, so the pipeline is empty, but as I said, even if there are minorities in the applicant pool, they may not be the best at the job.

    The writer wrote of a recent controversy at the Noguchi, which was navigating a delicate transition from a private foundation to a public nonprofit. The director decided to spend all her time on making the Noguchi a "sanctuary gallery," whatever the heck that is. Why is a gallery devoted to a Japanese sculptor harboring illegal aliens? The directors convened and out she went to be replaced by another director.

    A few problems with your logic.

    The biggest complaints about "where are you from?" come from native-born Americans of Asian descent. Meaning, "where you came from" is the United States.

    Also, the majority of the Asian immigrants are legal immigrants. You may not like our legal immigration policy, but legal immigrants were most certainly NOT uninvited. As for unwanted, clearly SOMEONE wanted them here.

    How much tact are you supposed to use? Depends on how big a jerk you want to be.

    Look at it this way. Every accomplished white female with the sticker, “My Children Have Four Paws”, on their car is one more nail in the coffin of their particular country and Western Civilization.

    As a principle of a rational morality, if one wills the means, one wills the end. However, feminists typically do not care. They cannot see the big picture. It fits the stereotype of feminists that they are all too often vain and self-centered; it is all about them. At some point, feminism is an adroit excuse for narcissism. At some point, this becomes extreme enough to warrant becoming a DSM-level, dysfunctional mental disorder.

    However, I find solace in Darwin and evolution. Since the current generation of feminists is not reproducing in any numbers (if they do have children, they much prefer to adopt a black child from Haiti). The next generation of white women, through the filter of survival-of-the-fittest, will be much more disposed to care about traditional gender roles, children, and the magnificent things that men do for women and their families.

    In the meantime, we go about our business. Time, as a principle of Nature, will cure us of the social pestilence of feminists and feminism. They will shortly be wiped from the gene pool.

    Thaddeus Russell explains in his book "The Renegade History of the United States,"
    how the Irish "stole all the good jobs" and were "shiftless and lazy" upon arriving on our beautiful shores in the 1850's. They were viewed as the "nonwhite 'missing link' between the superior European and the savage African. Russell notes from a excerpt from the Boston Globe during this decade that "In the popular press, the Irish were depicted as subhuman. They were carriers of disease. They were drawn as lazy, clannish, unclean, drunken brawlers who wallowed in crime and bred like rats. Most disturbingly, the Irish were Roman Catholics coming to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation and their devotion to the pope made their allegiance to the United States suspect."

    Well if they arrived in the 1850s and were granted naturalization, then there were considered white by the government.

    Whether they were accepted with open arms by the existing population is another story. Each immigrant group from Europe went through a similar period in which they were viewed with suspicion by the existing population until they weren't.

    I recall transferring to my first duty assignment after basic training. I legally was assigned to an infantry company because I had valid orders. But that didn't mean the guys in my new company welcomed me with open arms. I was basically told that as a new member of the unit I needed to keep my mouth shut and ears open, and I endured several shit tests for a period of time until it stopped, and I was one of the guys. But by the time it occurred, I had blended in with them, not the other way around.

    Note I changed for the group, not the other way. And so to with early European immigrants who caught hell when they got off the boat with their foreign tongue, distinctive clothing, grooming and other habits. There was a push among those groups to ape WASP behavior as part of the process of their becoming American.

    And yet they were right. As late as the 1960s, some American Irish were still funding paramilitaries against supposedly allied UK and such sympathies extended to the political elites of Irish origin, like the Kennedys. The discussion of how previous outsider groups became part of the majority should not exclude the significant and long term troubles associated with the process. And, this is maybe speculative, while I have no problem with Catholics, I feel that, just like with the White Australia policy, the gradual softening on the stance for immigration leads to a slippery slope which inexorably leads to diluted national consciousness and fertile ground for non-European immigration. Just like I am starting to hear from acquaintances that "at least those immigrants are Christian" while referring to Africans and the like.

    That applies to the first part of my post, not the second one, which you quoted. Think of Australia and even the US starting to receive X new ethnicities (Greeks, my countrymen and so on so I am not a hypocrite) and imagine how that might dilute the awareness of distinction between them and the world, in the absence of a longer term identity assimilation (as opposed to norm assimilation). Then of course it makes sense to start bringing high functioning outsiders and so on. The slipper slope. Catholicism was simply the day's flavor of otherness in the US, not that it matters much today. As a sidenote, I do remember seeing in Rome a statue bought by the Italian community of New York to celebrate the unification of Italy under Victor Emanuel the 2nd. I think it was in Garibaldi Park.

    Also, if you need a middleman group to mediate an intra-group conflict, then you have serious problems. I contend that the middleman group delayes the actual resolution of the conflict, both by inhibiting intra-group accommodation and by trying to permanentize its role.

    Interesting.

    My grandparents spent several decades traveling around the world, from the 50s to the 80s. In those days, my grandmother said it was VERY common in Europe to get the "where are you from", and find they did NOT mean where in the US. They wanted to peg her based on her European ancestry. The assumption in Europe at the time was that Americans would behave like their European ancestors. Of course that would be politically incorrect now.

    One of the weirdest moments came in Ireland. My grandmother grew up in Indian Territory, and had had long black hair in her youth, which she assumed was due to her Cherokee blood. Her father was of Scots-Irish descent. One time my grandmother was in a pub in Ireland, and there was a woman there who looked amazing like her, also with long black hair. The woman asked: "what county are you from?"

    You are over-generalizing here. In many if not most cases there were parties who favored American intervention, and were more than willing to cut deals for American support. Just as in America today, many peoples worldwide are willing to enlist the aid of an outsider to hammer on their ancient tribal enemies.

    “Those societal schisms were in large part due to American foreign policies, as well as European imperialistic machinations. Do not be a fool.”

    The societal schisms existed long before the Europeans first appeared on the horizon. The Europeans may have aggravated or exploited existing schisms for various purposes, but they had no need to invent what was already extant. Why would one be a fool to doubt that American foreign policies were largely responsible for societal schisms in these areas? Do you have persuasive evidence that demonstrates my foolishness?

    Then consider saying what you mean, and you won't be so misleading. What you (clearly) mean is that they were invited and wanted by the people whom you admire, and uninvited and unwanted by the people you don't. If you'd said what you meant no one would have taken issue with you.

    Every poll until comparatively recently showed a large majority of Americans in favor of curtailing the flood of third-world immigrants. Read that sentence again, and maybe it'll sink in. I respect the majority of people responding to those polls. Apparently, you don't.

  216. One thing I noticed from the days I used to live in the Northeast part of the US is what ethnic groups would intermarry with what other ethnic groups.

    I think a LOT of this has to do with when the various waves of migration occurred, and what neighborhoods they wound up in.

    For example, there are a lot of Kraut-Micks in the NE part of the US. Germans, esp. of the Roman Catholic variety, would often intermarry with Irish.

    Neither Germans nor Irish would intermarry with Jews. Especially not Irish.

    The Italian-Jew combination is rather common. One of the most famous examples is Howard Stern.
    But Italians rarely seemed to intermarry with Irish and Germans.
    Italians would sometimes intermarry with Hispanics, such as Puerto Ricans.

    A lot of this was because the Germans and the Irish came to the US around the same time. Also the Jews and Italians came around the same time.

    In NYC at least, the Italian and Jewish neighborhoods were often very close to each other, and sometimes overlapped. I have family in what used to be the border between an Italian and a Jewish area in Brooklyn, so that neighborhood was mixed. Now Asians (esp. Chinese and Vietnamese) and Russians (esp. Russian Jews) have pretty much taken over the place.

    Before the 1965 law, there were a LOT more Chinese men than Chinese women in the US. In Hawaii, Chinese men would often marry Native Hawaiian women. For many years there were far more mixed Chinese-Hawaiians in Hawaii than there were pure Chinese and pure Hawaiian combined, and they usually had Chinese surnames.

    There are still some Puerto Ricans in NYC with Chinese surnames. Some of the PR women, esp. those who didn’t want to get beaten by drunken philanderers, married Chinese men.

It is truly work for future historians that observing the in-your-face, proudly proclaimed ethnic backgrounds of employees and programmers at cultural engineering-prone media organs is taken as proof of "obsession," but there's nothing "obsessive" about constantly reminding people that Christians own Chik-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby.

    The Catholic population was less a divisor than a bridge, between two often at-each-others'-throats factions of Protestants.

    That applies to the first part of my post, not the second one, which you quoted. Think of Australia and even the US starting to receive X new ethnicities (Greeks, my countrymen and so on so I am not a hypocrite) and imagine how that might dilute the awareness of distinction between them and the world, in the absence of a longer term identity assimilation (as opposed to norm assimilation). Then of course it makes sense to start bringing high functioning outsiders and so on. The slipper slope. Catholicism was simply the day’s flavor of otherness in the US, not that it matters much today. As a sidenote, I do remember seeing in Rome a statue bought by the Italian community of New York to celebrate the unification of Italy under Victor Emanuel the 2nd. I think it was in Garibaldi Park.

    Also, if you need a middleman group to mediate an intra-group conflict, then you have serious problems. I contend that the middleman group delayes the actual resolution of the conflict, both by inhibiting intra-group accommodation and by trying to permanentize its role.

    Years ago, I was at a fancy dinner for work in London with quite a number of foreigners of Englishmen and one English gentleman asked a coal Black young woman who was a server where she was from. She very stiffly answered East End or something like that. A few other English gents nearby started laughing approvingly at her retort. I bit down on my answer if only to not have the very foreign staff spit in my food.

    It was interesting to watch though – the local people sitting down were either Brits or Indians, while the people serving were Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Africans and a lone Romanian. The staff at my hotel near the MI5 hq was also Subcon, African or Eastern Euro (a lovely Lithuanian girl manned the reception). I was amazed at how foreign the whole area looked within walking distance of Whitehall.

    No, the non-whites did build civilizations. Just not ones with advanced technology. You really get hung up on this notion that European-white civilization is the gold standard. Pro-tip –> It’s about human civilization.
     
    When whites first came to Africa, the natives were living at roughly the Stone Age level of development.

    Can you think of any other historical civilization in which you'd rather live besides this one? Before you answer, make a list of all of the modern conveniences upon which you rely. Chances are that the vast majority of them were invented by whites.

    Technological advancements created by European white civilization have made it possible for us to have this little exchange of views, despite the fact that we live hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. Are you saying that you'd rather live in a world where integrated circuits don't exist?

    Do you live in a house that provides full protection from the elements? Does your house have air conditioning? Heating? Do you have running water? Do you have a toilet, a sink, and a shower stall in any of your bathrooms? How about a bathtub? Do you have a stove, a microwave, and a refrigerator in your kitchen? Do you have a toaster? A can opener?

    How about a car? Do you have a car? How about a bicycle?

    It is other than surprising that a person loves their own civilization, so this question truly is an exercise in futility.
     
    You are using a digital device (a phone, a tablet, a laptop, or a desktop), powered by electricity, to transmit information nearly instantaneously over vast distances. Are you aware that the ability to exchange views in this manner is something new and unique in human history? Are you also aware that the technology that enables this conversation was invented by whites?

    Would you rather not have the ability to spread your bullshit far and wide? Without modern telecommunications technology, your imbecilic rantings would have very limited currency.

    Many African societies never developed written language. (Writing is a technology, you know. The lowly pencil and paper represent thousands of years of human endeavor. Even the rubber eraser was a significant advancement.) How would you feel if your sphere of influence were limited to the range of your spoken voice? Would you be content to be the village idiot in some muddy little hamlet, spouting drunken nonsense in the middle of the night?

    They were invented by *white* Americans, *white* Brits, and *white* Germans.

    However great the achievements of the ancients, the bottom line is that whites created the modern world.

    Of course, if you want to remain consistent here by having whites take all of the technological credit, then you will have to report how white people have destroyed civilizations, expanded the slave trade, committed genocide, and even murdered their own people post-1492.
     
    The struggle for dominance goes back to Cain and Abel. All civilizations have engaged in wars of conquest at one time or another. (Modern electoral politics is war by more civilized means.)

    Life is a zero-sum game. To the victor go the spoils. You can't blame whites for winning.

    You moan about slavery. Slavery has been an integral part of nearly every human civilization since the Neolithic Age. (It was widespread in Africa long before whites ever reached the Dark Continent.) Indeed, it was blacks who sold other blacks to whites. Whites didn't invent slavery, but we've done more than any other group to eradicate it.

    Today’s technology relies heavily on rare earth metals. Africa is thought to contain vast deposits. That continent, if not exploited by greedy whites and yellows, can position themselves to be at the forefront. It’s their natural resources, but back in the day, due to the European inherent nature to rape and pillage and plunder, Europeans found it best to take it from them without just compensation.
     
    Are you seriously trying to argue that Africans don't rape and pillage and plunder? Clearly you've never been to Detroit (or Malmö, for that matter).

    So the greedy whites and yellows marched into Africa and stole everything they could find. Why hadn't the blacks figured out ways to exploit these resources by themselves? Why didn't they develop technology and tactics to fight back against the greedy whites and yellows? Could it have been that they lacked the raw cognitive ability to do so?

    Some people DO prefer a lifestyle that is minimalist. Would you like to know more, citizen?
     
    If you were living a minimalist lifestyle, you wouldn't have access to the Internet. Evidently you have a phone, a tablet, and/or a computer. Presumably you have regular access to electricity.

    Do you live in a mud hut? Is your toilet a hole in the ground? Do you drink rainwater?

    Also, you address me as citizen. The modern conception of citizenship is inherently Western - as in, white.

    Africans had absolutely nothing to do with the development of computers and telecommunications. Asians had very little to do with it. It was mainly a white phenomenon.

    Whites make up a small minority of the so-called human race, but a large majority of the innovators.

    Even the gays are eating at Chick-fil-A these days:
    https://www.thrillist.com/eat/chick-fil-a-nyc-locations-gay-rights-activists


    If you’re wondering why people in deep-blue New York City are unfazed by the company's past anti-LGBTQ stances, you’re not alone. Mostly, it seems, their desire for chicken biscuits has overruled their professed ethics.

    On a recent afternoon, hungry Midtown diners packed into Chick-fil-A’s Sixth Avenue location near Rockefeller Center. Among them was a conflicted chicken enthusiast who declined to give me his name. "As a gay man, it's always an internal fight,” he said. “But the chicken is so good.” He boycotted the chain for several years, "then started going back" after major wins like the national legalization of gay marriage.

    Like a handful of other customers I spoke with, he said at some point you have to separate the words of some business owners with the products they offer if you are to get through the day.
     

    And even the tranny animal-rights wackos have backed off:

    Animal liberation and LGBTQ rights group Collectively Free organized a "kiss-in" when Chick-fil-A's first location opened at Sixth Avenue and 37th Street.

    Raffi Ciavatta, a leader with the group, said they do not "have the capacity right now" to protest the new restaurant with other campaigns going on, including traveling down to North Carolina to demonstrate an industrial pig farm they said sprays feces into neighboring communities.
     

    It is my observation that gay- and tranny-rights activists do nothing but spray feces - figuratively and (disturbingly often) literally.

    "New York is considered the birthplace of LGBTQ rights and is a strong voice for animals as well," said Ciavatta, 33. "It deserves better than allowing a homophobic, transphobic and speciesist company to make money from violence. And now they're opening another store."
     
    Truthfully, I do find the speciesist lack of diversity in Chick-fil-A's ads disturbing. All we ever see are cows. A truly representative company would include pigs ("Eat les bacin!") and lambs ("Say noe to gyrows!") in its promotional campaigns.

    Ciavatta, who is transgender, said the group was also "disappointed" there wasn't more of a sustained boycott. Case in point: the customer Ciavatta recalls who told protesters at restaurant, "I am not homophobic, I'm not racist. I'm just here for the chicken."

    "I'm just baffled by folks,” Ciavatta said. "People tend to compartmentalize things in order to be able to justify going to these places, which is very disappointing to me."
     

    I'm baffled by folks who have nothing better to do with their lives than to obsess about where strangers eat lunch. Remember when it was the Left that accused the Right of trying to regulate private behavior? ("What people do with their own time and their own money is no one else's business!")

    Incidentally, the only Chick-fil-A near me is in a mall food court. It's always very crowded. I do like the chicken, but I haven't been there in a while - my schedule doesn't allow much time for mallratting these days.

    In fact, the last time I went to the mall was back in January, on the weekend before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Microsoft store, of all places, was plastered with huge signs imploring customers to "celebrate" his life.

    Speaking of MLK, was anyone else surprised to see what a big deal they made of his fiftieth deathday a couple of weeks ago? At least one of my local TV stations interrupted regular programming to cover the anniversary events. I thought it was morbid, to say the least.

    A few problems with your logic.

    The biggest complaints about "where are you from?" come from native-born Americans of Asian descent. Meaning, "where you came from" is the United States.

    Also, the majority of the Asian immigrants are legal immigrants. You may not like our legal immigration policy, but legal immigrants were most certainly NOT uninvited. As for unwanted, clearly SOMEONE wanted them here.

    No. African civilizations were decidedly more sophisticated. Please educate yourself on this important matter.

    Yes, yes, yes. You wuz kingz back in the day. Wakanda is the wellspring of human civilization. I’ve heard it all before.

    It is other than surprising that a person loves their own civilization, so this question truly is an exercise in futility.

    You are using a digital device (a phone, a tablet, a laptop, or a desktop), powered by electricity, to transmit information nearly instantaneously over vast distances. Are you aware that the ability to exchange views in this manner is something new and unique in human history? Are you also aware that the technology that enables this conversation was invented by whites?

    Would you rather not have the ability to spread your bullshit far and wide? Without modern telecommunications technology, your imbecilic rantings would have very limited currency.

    Many African societies never developed written language. (Writing is a technology, you know. The lowly pencil and paper represent thousands of years of human endeavor. Even the rubber eraser was a significant advancement.) How would you feel if your sphere of influence were limited to the range of your spoken voice? Would you be content to be the village idiot in some muddy little hamlet, spouting drunken nonsense in the middle of the night?

    Actually, they were invented by Americans, or the British, or the Germans…ETHNIC groups. NATIONS. Furthermore, without innovations from the “cradles of civilization”–Nile, Mesopotamia, Indus (India), and Yellow River, whites wouldn’t have had a pot to pee in. It’s actually best to describe our advancements as being human in nature. Try it sport, you will be better off for it!

    They were invented by *white* Americans, *white* Brits, and *white* Germans.

    However great the achievements of the ancients, the bottom line is that whites created the modern world.

    Of course, if you want to remain consistent here by having whites take all of the technological credit, then you will have to report how white people have destroyed civilizations, expanded the slave trade, committed genocide, and even murdered their own people post-1492.

    The struggle for dominance goes back to Cain and Abel. All civilizations have engaged in wars of conquest at one time or another. (Modern electoral politics is war by more civilized means.)

    Life is a zero-sum game. To the victor go the spoils. You can’t blame whites for winning.

    You moan about slavery. Slavery has been an integral part of nearly every human civilization since the Neolithic Age. (It was widespread in Africa long before whites ever reached the Dark Continent.) Indeed, it was blacks who sold other blacks to whites. Whites didn’t invent slavery, but we’ve done more than any other group to eradicate it.

    Today’s technology relies heavily on rare earth metals. Africa is thought to contain vast deposits. That continent, if not exploited by greedy whites and yellows, can position themselves to be at the forefront. It’s their natural resources, but back in the day, due to the European inherent nature to rape and pillage and plunder, Europeans found it best to take it from them without just compensation.

    Are you seriously trying to argue that Africans don’t rape and pillage and plunder? Clearly you’ve never been to Detroit (or Malmö, for that matter).

    So the greedy whites and yellows marched into Africa and stole everything they could find. Why hadn’t the blacks figured out ways to exploit these resources by themselves? Why didn’t they develop technology and tactics to fight back against the greedy whites and yellows? Could it have been that they lacked the raw cognitive ability to do so?

    Some people DO prefer a lifestyle that is minimalist. Would you like to know more, citizen?

    If you were living a minimalist lifestyle, you wouldn’t have access to the Internet. Evidently you have a phone, a tablet, and/or a computer. Presumably you have regular access to electricity.

    Do you live in a mud hut? Is your toilet a hole in the ground? Do you drink rainwater?

    Also, you address me as citizen. The modern conception of citizenship is inherently Western – as in, white.

    Corrected for accuracy –> Every time I click “Publish Comment”, we are validating the technological prowess of the human race.

    Africans had absolutely nothing to do with the development of computers and telecommunications. Asians had very little to do with it. It was mainly a white phenomenon.

    Whites make up a small minority of the so-called human race, but a large majority of the innovators.

    Ignatiev believes (or at least claims to) that race is a social construct, rather than a biological reality. That is patently false. It is also deeply unscientific. If he actually believes it, he’s an idiot. If he doesn’t, he’s a cynical liar.

    And there is absolutely nothing recognizably "Christian" about a Chik-Fil-A apart from the workers being genuinely friendly and the hours precluding work on Sunday. It's not like they've got the Stations of the Cross on the way to the bathroom. Not like in an Einstein Brothers bagel shop, where not only is the interior decorating specifically stereotypically Jewish, but they never got the memo about the Frankfurt School being a one-off, and they embrace modern and abrasive art as an essentially Jewish thing. It is truly work for future historians that observing the in-your-face, proudly proclaimed ethnic backgrounds of employees and programmers at cultural engineering-prone media organs is taken as proof of "obsession," but there's nothing "obsessive" about constantly reminding people that Christians own Chik-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby. I wish I could show this behavior to a tolerance advocate in the past but it's probably good that I can't because it might give them pause.

    None of my ancestors were invited.

    I couldn't tell you to the nearest 1000 years when my first ancestors came here, or if there was anyone here before them.

    My first white ancestors came in 1620, and were very much NOT invited. At one point Squanto, who had lived in England, took pity on the Pilgrims and kept them from starving to death. Not invited, not wanted, but barely tolerated.

    The first of the Liberal family (NOT my real name) was a fellow who never wanted to come here. Not invited, and certainly not wanted, and not even tolerated. He was minding his own business in a pub in Liverpool when the press gangs came. Not much appreciating the life of rum, buggery and the lash, he jumped ship in Boston Harbor, and changed his name to hide from the Royal Navy. We have no idea what his name was in England. His name was John. Not sure what happened to his mates Paul, George and Ringo :-) I get my last name from him.

    My last ancestor to come to this land was an officer in the Royal Army during the Revolution. I think he was a quartermaster, and embezzled a chunk of money. Not invited, not wanted, and most certainly not tolerated. Both sides wanted to kill him. He deserted to escape the firing squad. I had other ancestors who were Revolutionary War heroes, but this particular fellow seems to have helped the Patriot cause quite a bit by robbing the British. I am not sure if he switched sides, or just hid out until the war was over. I get my middle name from him.
