Steve Sailer writes: Presumably, Morgan Jerkins is a black woman, so she reasons, according to the theory of intersectionality, that she deserves more Diversity Pokemon Points than Nate Parker does. Why did he get $17.5 million for being oppressed by whites when she is oppressed by both whites and by patriarchy? Morgan is entitled to $35.0 million…
Hollywood has chosen Nate Parker to lecture white people on how their ancestors abused blacks, yet he and his writing partner personally abused a white woman.
The fundamental irony is that the most dramatic scene in the 1915 “Birth of a Nation” is one in which a white woman commits suicide to avoid being raped by a black man. It’s not as if Parker and Celestin aren’t aware of that and aren’t intentionally rubbing white people’s noses in it.
COMMENTS:
*According to popular American media, Black men are essentially animals. Black women are the same, with horrifically low self-esteem, so their being victimized by black men is far less abhorrent than if a white man does the same to a white woman–or if a white man does anything bad to anyone.
Example: Paul Reubens. Caught masturbating alone in a porn theatre. His show cancelled, his career never recovers. On the other hand…
Mike Tyson. Convicted of beating the hell out of a black woman, and raping a black woman. Physically chewing off the ear of an opponent on live television. Later, he’s the star of his own celebrated cartoon show. Currently, he makes more money than Paul Reubens.
Fox Searchlight, and Atlantic Monthly ensure raping black women is a reasonably negotiable enterprise.
According to them, if your big black buck is apologetic enough, you let him back in the cotton fields, because hell, he don’t know nuffin’ ’bout what he doin’.
He black.
* Fatty Arbuckle’s career was effectively destroyed over an allegation of rape though he was acquitted after 3 trials. Rape was a serious offense in those pre 1920 days even if no racial lines were crossed. Today it is almost expected that black celebrities will have white women make allegations of rape or sexual misconduct. Bill Cosby has them by the dozens.
* This is going to soon give us a chance to find out where women vs. blacks rank in the progressive hierarchy and I don’t think women are going to come out on top.
We already know that women are below Muslims (way below) because progressives have not only declined to criticize but lately have embraced burqas, niqabs, chadors, whatever, and have also decided to be completely silent on female genital mutilation.
But we haven’t yet had a clear cut cultural touchstone to definitively place women and blacks on the hierarchy. This may be it.
* It is interesting to note that Parker and Celestin used the completely false – didn’t happen – forced rape of Turner’s wife by five white men as the catalyst for the uprising. It’s designed to excite the audience as well, but early reviewers seem to let this atrocious falsification pass without remonstrance . In fact, you will note, the further away we get from the slavery years, the worse the treatment of the slaves becomes, especially when it’s thrown at us by blacks who were not even there – although I understand from reading the ‘woe is me’ black writing of contemporary Black writers – that they are born with the ‘I was a slave to the white man’ gene buried deep in their souls.
I do think slavery is and was a reprehensible practice, but my thinking is mollified by reading some of the slave narratives that were collected from former slaves living during the Great Depression years by state and federal agencies. Many of the former slaves had far less personal animosity toward the institution than non-slaves today.
The idea that white men were so enamored of black slave women that they would gang rape one is fanciful in the extreme. Despise common belief today, crossing the color line was not a prevalent practice during the slave era, least of all by owners of plantations – It was frowned upon by most respectable people, men and women alike. If you think white women during this time didn’t stand up for themselves within their own households, then you are foolishly falling in line with feminist propaganda, who preach the equally fanciful concept that white women were as much slaves as blacks.
