Well, that’s been a depressing few days, hasn’t it? Have you been watching the pictures on TV? Howling mobs of blacks throwing bottles; overturned cars; stores looted and burned; police in riot gear watching passively; black faces contorted with rage; furrowed-brow white liberals excusing, explaining. It’s all too drearily familiar, isn’t it? Newark and Detroit;... Read More

In last week’s Radio Derb I uttered some unkind words about Oprah Winfrey. The week before that, in a VDARE column, I had been uncharitable about the movie Ms. Winfrey has been so vigorously promoting recently and in which she takes a leading role. The movie’s called The Butler and tells the story of a... Read More

Back in 1982 a faction of Lebanese Arabs massacred Palestinian Arabs at two refugee camps in Beirut. The Israeli army, in the neighborhood at the time, was accused of turning a blind eye to the killings. Hearing of this, Menachem Begin famously muttered: “Goyim kill goyim, and they blame the Jews.” Hence my title. NAM... Read More

Of all the comments I read during the brouhaha over my April 5th Taki’s Mag column, one in particular stuck in my mind. I forgot to bookmark it and can’t recall where I read it, so I’m working from memory here. The gist was: I think it’s a good point. An American or a Brit... Read More

Goodness, what a fuss! The topic here is of course my Taki’s Mag column of last week, which has brought me worldwide fame, though no doubt only for the proverbial fifteen minutes. The first and most essential thing to record here is heartfelt, down-on-my-knees-hugging-yours gratitude: • Thanks to the hundreds of readers who have emailed... Read More

I haven't, ever, read many things more depressing than this GQ piece about the gang rape of an 11-year-old girl in Cleveland, Texas. You may recall the story. It surfaced earlier this year. The March 8 edition of the New York Times reported on "a roundup over the last month of 18 young men and... Read More

Reading Seth Forman's book American Obsession: Race and Conflict in the Age of Obama, I got to the part in Chapter 5 about the 2009 incident in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when major-league professional black guy Henry Louis Gates was arrested trying to break into his own house. Seth Forman points out that: "At the time of... Read More

The 2012 general election will, we are told by numerous pundits, be exceptionally "bitter" and "divisive." I guess what they mean is that our Great National Neurosis (GNN) — you know the one I'm talking about — will be on full display. With a deeply unsuccessful and increasingly unpopular black president defending his incumbency, it's... Read More

Ah, reality! That mysterious, untouchable world of mass and energy, of gravity and fire, of genes and synapses. It lurks out of sight there beyond our reach, knowable to us only by the occasional fragments of it that impinge on our senses, and that are then, after much error-introducing data compression and many wasting detours...

Let's take it as a given that we're heading into an age of austerity. This may not be the case. There is no certainty in human affairs. The secret of table-top fusion power may be discovered next week; the geneticists may come up with something that abolishes both disease and old age, thereby annihilating both... Read More

Jack Hunter, in responding to my comment, raised some questions that I began to consider from the time I posted my remarks yesterday. There is a perception on the part of blacks that the GOP is the 'white man's party,' and it is impossible for the GOP to gain support among black voters, no matter... Read More
