* Police are a hard target, they shoot back. Civilians, not so much. So expect BLM shootings to target White civilians instead of police soon. That’s the whole point of gun control, disarming the targets.

* “President Kennedy put a man on the moon. President Obama put a man in the ladies room.”

* This stuff doesn’t help Trump as much as one might think. A cursory look at Twitter and Facebook (which I think can be reasonably used as accurate barometers of public opinion) will dispel the notion that blacks and their enablers behaving badly helps Trump.

It doesn’t help that Trump consistently squanders the opportunities to politically profit off this stuff. He’s in his own world.

* Twitter+Facebook isn’t exactly a safespace for ordinary people to vent against black misbehaviour. You will mostly find strong reactions among a few white guys who have had enough. But the ordinary people might press like if they aren’t afraid of getting noticed by friends. However, this public shaming/self censorship has the opposite effect when you go into the ballot. Ordinary whites see black mischief, tell pretty lies to pollsters and friends, and go vote in protest.
That is why they call it the Silent Majority.

Sailer has pointed out how the press is dependent on Trump saying something in situations like this to switch attention away from the horror show. However, in a case like this Trump should have put in a comment about how anti-white racism is as unacceptable as anti-black racism, and especially so when it is directed against cops. This will inevitably lead to journalists going crazy and he can then do his marketing thing of repeating “anti-white racism” a thousand times in a sentence while demanding racial equality. If he wanted to go more on the offensive he could do with the phrase “anti-white” what he did “islamic radicalism” when he bullied Hillary+Obama into conceding.

He could then conclude with having the big race speech that Scott Adams keeps saying is necessary to remove the racist stigma still hanging on him. He would address the reaffirm support for the police with bland stuff “most are great and a few bad apples who should be punished” and then turn it on the Dems.

* A BLM-centered presidential race will gain Trump big votes from the type of Democrat who normally votes Democrat, but sometimes votes GOP on local elections. There are tons of them.

NYC is heavily Dem, but elected Rudy and Mike B. for 20 years because of NAM crime issues.

Maryland and Massachusetts just elected Republican governors. Simple math requires that a lot of Obama voters crossed over. It sure was not urban blacks who crossed over to vote for them.

Wisconsin elected Scott Walker not because of rural white Wisconsin voters, who continue the old Midwestern socialist tradition, but suburban Milwaukee voters who voted for him because of black crime.

Michigan has a solidly GOP state leg and a Republican governor, despite Obama winning the state by I think about 8 points. That is because there are a lot of center-left whites there whose first choice is a center-left white like Bernie, Jennifer Granholm, Debbie S., Sander and Carl Levin, etc. They were also OK with post-racial Obama and voted for him. But state legislator votes and governor because racialized as the state leg in Democratic control means Detroit democrat control.

Trumps path to victory is pretty clearly making 2016 a referendum on police-hate and BLM.

BLM and cop/white hate are dominating the news on their own right now. Trump should just shut up and lay low for a week or two and let the Dems enjoy their civil war. Maybe he can start some actual fundraising?

* The best congressman in America is using “anti-white.” Keep it up. Use this term that can go mainstream in conversation and online, but do not go any stronger.

#DallasPoliceShooting has roots in first of anti-white/cop events illuminated by Obama…Officer Crowley. There were others.

King has a great twitter feed. He’s hitting trade, guns, and crime, and doing it well.

I noticed he is also going to Egypt meeting Egyptian president Sisi, a wonderful anti-terrorism leader who would like to be an American proxy in the middle east, but keeps getting crapped on by Obama for suppressing the Muslim Brotherhood. If this is King giving himself some foreign policy cred before running as VP, that is great. Not my first choice, but he’d still be great. And make Trump JFK/impeachment proof.

* I have heard several rap songs where Black rappers brag about driving without a driver’s license or car insurance. It’s a Black thing, so you wouldn’t understand Cracka.

Driver’s licenses and car insurance weren’t invented in Africa. It’s a creation of the racist White male patriarchy.

* By only reporting black victims the media is making it look like it’s 100% black victims instead of 26% black victims.

The media are deliberately inciting a race war.

The only question is why.

* Trump shouldn’t attack BLM; Trump should attack the media.

Reason: Trump has a chance to get a big chunk of the black vote over immigration and the media is trying to stop that happening by sparking black-white racial hatred (and getting a lot of people killed in the process).

media
– lying that all the victims are black
– lying about the huge spike in black-black homicide as the result of police retreat
– ignoring the 6% committing 50% of the homicides
etc

If he goes all out against the media over their incitement through dishonest reporting he can keep both the black and white vote onside.

Why do they only report the black victims? They are inciting murder.

* Trump should re-use the brilliantly brief and very effective Republican slogan from the 1946 midterm elections:

“Had enough?”

The public at the time was angry about postwar inflation and continued shortages of consumer goods despite 15 months of peace. (Impatient lot, we Americans!) The Republicans gained 55 House seats and 12 Senate seats, taking back both houses of Congress, which had been in Democratic hands since FDR. And that was in the days before television …

… imagine the possibilities for the Trump campaign today. There would be no need to say anything at all. Just show clips of [outrageous, infuriating or frightening relevant events] followed by the stark words on screen:

Had enough?
[pause]
Vote Trump

I think it would work as well in 2016 as it did 70 years ago.

* If Milo says male homosexuality is a choice, he’s probably responding to the PC shibboleth that all sexuality is determined genetically at birth. Frankly, I don’t believe it, because I’ve known too many people who have been on both sides of the street and I don’t think they were “born” bisexual.

You know what I think the bigger problem is? The fact that we have created a culture where everyone has to declare their sexuality by the time they are 12 years old, that treats anyone who isn’t sexually active by the time they are 15 as some kind of weirdo, and that simply cannot shut up or practice a little modesty about sexual matters.

Confused gay teens need to know that sexuality is variable, and as long as no one is hurt in the process, entirely their own business. They also need to know that linking emotional attachment and sexuality is something very powerful, and that they are living in a culture that treats that phenomenon in an extremely superficial fashion, such that people are always going to be judging you or even mocking you for your attractions, your dates, your activity, or lack of same. Finally, that people love to mock the outsider, so you better learn to love yourself and not expect a lot of positive reinforcement in the outside world.

* Blacks are loyal Democrats but were not super excited by Hillary who is after all an old cracker lady who ran against Obama – she doesn’t even have Bill’s “honorary black” status. So it was important to do something to stir up the black base and get the high turnout that is key to swinging states like PA. In a good year (in which 110% of black voters vote) Philadelphia puts the Democrats hundreds of thousands of votes ahead before the first white vote is counted (not in sequence – Philadelphia comes in late, depending on how many votes are needed to turn the election – there’s no point in committing more crimes than are absolutely necessary). This makes winning the whole state a LOT easier – it’s like playing golf with a handicap or the ability to take lots of mulligans (Bill’s favorite way of playing golf).

The media machine has so far done a good job of putting just the right spin on the Texas shootings, which as Obama told us have NOTHING to do with BLM or what he and Hillary have been preaching. But it may be a long hot summer and these things have a way of spinning out of control – you may want to provoke a “peaceful demonstration” (one in which only a couple of 7-11s get looted) but end up with a large riot. In Philadelphia and many other big cities there has been an urban renaissance where parts of the city have been won back from black criminality, but a few riots could make those areas off limits to whites once more. This would have to have an impact on nice white ladies whose kids have purchased a condo downtown or maybe she is an empty nester/divorced and has moved back downtown herself. Instead of some abstract “Isn’t that awful what the police are doing to innocent blacks”, you are now speaking directly to her bank account.

* The media is deliberately inciting it.

If they reported non-black victims of police shootings then the media’s narrative – that blacks are being specifically targeted – collapses, and it’s that lie which they have been pumping into the heads of 85 IQ adult children that is getting lots of people killed.

* I don’t make bets, but I can give you many reasons why #BLM will never be compared to SCLC or Freedom Riders:

1. SCLC/Freedom Riders had a specific goal: de-segregation. #BLM has no specific goal, it’s just acting out about police violence.

2. SCLC/Freedom Riders had specific agendas: enforcing the law. #BLM has no specific legislation in mind, it’s not as though police officers are going to be disarmed, or something.

3. SCLC/Freedom Riders were consistent: they wanted de-segregation, public accommodation, and voting rights for everyone. #BLM is fundamentally hypocritical, since they are outraged when blacks are killed by police, but they are unable to coordinate any activity to stop the vastly greater number of shootings in their neighborhoods.

4. SCLC/Freedom riders were very deliberately presentable: clean cut, well dressed, and passive. #BLM is disruptive, violent, and has already engendered several riots and at least one mass shooting.

5. SCLC/Freedom riders was driven by a mismatch of legal decisions and actual reality in the Deep South. #BLM is driven by the mismatch of PC equality expectations and the continuing laggard performance in many black communities, including crime, drugs, and as a result, much more jittery police response.

In other words, SCLC/Freedom riders was a social phenomenon that was driven by a disconnect between laws as written and laws as administered. It actually helped achieve those goals.

#BLM on the other hand is an epiphenomenon reaction to an epiphenomenon itself, namely, the number of black fatalities in police / black community incidents. But that violence is ultimately traceable to the failed state of too many black communities. That’s the real problem. If #BLM wanted to address the real problem, they would work to fix that. Unless they listen to T. Genius, who insists there’s nothing wrong with any black communities. So far, they have accomplished absolutely nothing positive. And I’m not holding my breath that it will.

The more Black Lives Matter protests and killings, the better it is for Donald Trump.

Steve Sailer writes:

In the wake of five white cops being murdered at the Black Lives Matter rally in Dallas on Thursday, you might think that BLM would have taken the weekend off out of mourning (shame).

But no …

The usual obnoxious BLM rallies — e.g., blocking freeways, throwing fireworks and chunks of concrete at cops — were held again across the country on Friday and Saturday nights. BLM self-promoter DeRay McKesson, who recently snagged for himself a $165k job with the Baltimore public school system, got himself ostentatiously arrested Saturday.

It has to be worrying to the more perceptive Hillary strategists, who found BLM useful in humiliating Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley (but not Hillary), that their Coalition of the Fringes strategy is so reliant upon restrained behavior by the bottom of the bottom fringe they’ve incited.

The upper reaches of BLM are mostly Obama-style quasi-black exotics on the career hustle: gays (e.g., DeRay), angry lesbians, wealthy black kids, black studies majors, blacks with one white parent or immigrant elite parents … the kind of educated individuals that the Clinton campaign and mainstream media are comfortable dealing with.

But the urban masses BLM is trying to rile up include a lot of individuals with poor impulse control and a documented history of violence.

Hillary has been playing fire.

COMMENTS:

* Unspoken assumption: blacks and whites behave exactly the same on average under similar circumstances.

* I wonder what’s going on in the minds of Scandinavians in Minnesota right now. It’ll be interesting to see what level of diversity would cause a shift to the right.

* If President Obama had a son, would he look like Micah X., the Dallas shooter?

If not, why not?

* Question for Hillary:

Is closing down interstate highways and multiple downtown arterial roads OK?

She really needs to answer this question.

* If you want to be a public intellectual or a political leader you cannot always just speak the unvarnished truth as it appears in your mind, because you must take into account the limitations of your audience. This is not to put things on the level of a Straussian idea of esoteric speech, either to avoid persecution or because hoi polloi doesn’t deserve to know the truth. It is rather a common sense understanding that words have consequences among your entire audience, including the 1/3 of Americans with IQ’s below 85 (or whatever the actual percentage is).

In the current situation we have the twin phenomena of chronic failure and rampant crime in many AA communities, coupled with a technological and social media platform that makes it easy to instantly goad an internet mob into intense outbursts. Recognizing that this is the root cause of the crisis means that, if you are going to be leader, you have to address these issues carefully and with circumspection, to avoid inflaming the situation or creating simple minded dichotomies like black/cops, straights/gays, or whatever. None of our political leadership has been particularly good at this, but Hillary has definitely built her campaign on this. In fact, for most of these cases I seriously question whether it is responsible political leadership to say anything at all. For example, I don’t think any of Obama’s bloviating about Trayvon or Ferguson actually stopped any disturbances, or brought about any peace. In fact, it was perceived if anything as a justification for public demonstrations.

We will know if there are any consequences to this intentional or unintended but consequential polarization and baiting over the course of the next three weeks. And then we have the long hot month of August.

I’m not very upbeat about Trump’s candidacy, based on his previous undisciplined speech, but I won’t criticize him here. I do think he represents a better hope than Hillary Clinton. Her candidacy can be damaged if there is continued violence and she refuses to dissociate from those elements of society that she has wittingly or unwittingly inspired to violence. If there is violence, and she refuses the dissociate, she is likely to lose a significant percentage of the Great Middle of the D party. If there is violence, and she does dissociate, she will anger the fractious media that for the most part has been supporting her unstintingly (but see Maureen Dowd’s highly critical column today), and lose those minority votes. If there is no further violence she will still have to contend with the broad perception of her and her husband as a couple of arrogant crooks. Given the levels of uncertainty and violence going on, I would not want someone who is so lax about security and seemingly so lacking in integrity (“what difference does it make?”) answering any 3 AM phone calls, which, given her track record, would probably be tapped and on youtube in half an hour anyway.

But please, let’s try to get Labor Day without a lot more blood on the streets.

* Expecting blacks as a group to feel shame is invariably a fool’s errand.

This all could hardly have come at a better time for Hillary.

She’s added fuel to the fire by lecturing whites about our supposed responsibilities towards blacks without any sort of reciprocation.

To the 2016 Democrat, whites have only responsibilities and blacks have only rights.

* I really could care less about BLM, what concerns me more, much more, is the MSM’s lack of balanced coverage of the three separate events last week. I know the names and have met the family’s of the two men shot dead by the police. I won’t mention their names but I am absolutely sure you know them, just like the names of Travone Martin, Eric Gardner and Michael Brown are stuck in your head. When Freddie Gray died in police custody we had a photo line up of the six cops accused of murdering him. Now, without a Google assist, name one of the six Dallas cops shot and killed last week. I saw the sickening photo stills, from a security video, that showed one of the officers trying to hide behind a concrete pillar before being gunned down, and then shot again while he is prone.

* I think a lot of the BLM leaders are simply the result of generations of affirmative action. Expectations have now collided into biological reality.

Some portion of this may simply be white liberals shifting the focus away from reality onto magic in order to avoid facing that reality. We’re onto three generations of progressive race policy and blacks seem to have topped out and now are falling down the social order. Everyone notices the impact of automation on the rednecks, but no one wants to think about what happens when the DMV is automated.

Either way, all quiet here in the ghetto. Nice fist fight today between two pizza guys, but both were Mexicans so no gun fire.

* What do you expect? They retain momentum, despite the 9/11-ness of Dallas a few days ago. It’s not as if black people feel ashamed when Black Supremacists kill white people. (What are they, white people?) And it’s not as if the government, not counting rank and file cops, and the MSM are gonna suddenly decide they don’t want the race war they’ve been stoking these past several years.

* I’m in MN, and the refrain “God, I’m sick of black people” is going through my mind. Everyone else is a little stirred up by the video, thinking BLM is at it again, those naughty kids, and wondering, “What’s for dinner?”

Black unrest is mostly isolated to a couple of neighborhoods of Minneapolis, which might as well be on the dark side of the moon. We see them on the news. Sometimes the natives spill out, and we pretend to care about them. We care a little more these days, but that’ll dissipate.

I have noticed more and more black people in my suburb. Maybe my hometown is in decline, or maybe it’s a result of the open conspiracy to disperse them and make them someone else’s problem. In any case, they don’t threaten me, and I could care less if they march on the Mall of America (which their type pretty much owns, anyway) or whatever.

* I wonder if Steve is flattered or annoyed his basic statistical analysis has been copied by NY Times’s David Wasserman.

He provides the following figures/estimates:

Romney got 61% of the white vote, but needed 64% to win.

Because of demographic change, Trump will need 65% to win. Put another way, Trump needs the votes of roughly 1 in 10 of the white voters who are in the left-most 39% of whites.

There is a tried and true way to do this: a law and order campaign. 2012 was completely about different issues.

Another fun fact from Wasserman’s article: the white share of the population declined in all 50 states. The only place voting for prez where it went up: D.C.

* % of population distributed at IQ 85 and lower:

44% of blacks
34% of Hispanics
13% of whites
8 % of Asians

Source for that (AlFin) drew from Gottfredson and similar studies.

Politicians aren’t pitching to them; they don’t vote as much. They pitch to those who keep them as virtue-signaling pets.

* Hillary has been playing fire.

* Has she been? The media is there to make sure that no one (except extremist crimethinkers like the people who read this blog) ever draws a connection between Hillary/Obama, BLM and events like the Dallaa shootings. It hasn’t rebounded on them so far. What does Hillary have to fear? Someone draw this out for me, I really don’t know what it would take for the Democrats to pay a political price for all this hate they’ve been stirring up.

*

I suspect that in 20 or 30 years, Black Lives Matter will be remembered the way most people think of the SCLC and the Freedom Riders today.

— Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) July 10, 2016

* Bill has to be shrieking in Hillary’s ear, “Move to the center, dammit! You’ve already won the primary and now you have to win the general! Move right, dammit, or you’ll lose!”

If she doesn’t listen, she’s an idiot. However, she’s already proved she doesn’t have his political instincts, and she makes a point of surrounding herself with yes-persons. Hillary is just arrogant enough to think she knows better than Bill, and I have no doubt she wants to win by calling her own shots.

* Trent Lott telling an old Strom Thurmond at his birthday party that we should have elected him president and the media forced the GOP to remove Lott as Senate majority leader.

David Duke giving an unsolicited endorsement to Donald Trump and the media attempted to force Trump to disavow and denounce Duke a couple hundred times.

Hillary and Bill with actual relationships with people calling for the murder of whites and white cops and the media does nothing.

* When large blocks of society are given permission to hate other large blocks of society, and when that hate is actually considered righteous and virtuous, then how can anyone expect a good outcome? Hate and virtue are an irresistible cocktail for the human animal. They stimulate all kinds of gratification centers in our reptilian brain: desire for certainty, imposing your will on others, dominance, outgrouping, morality, social bonding, etc. In modern societies, many of these darker aspects of humanity are necessarily suppressed to keep peace and order.

We’ve managed to create valves to let off some of this primal steam in sports and military. The problem of recent years is that weakness has been praised so much that people who are not good at sports or physical combat have become celebrated, which is not necessarily a bad thing in itself, but one of the offshoots is that they have been given soapboxes for moral grandstanding. And they have sided with “oppressed” groups who are very comfortable carrying out violence (inner-city youth, etc.).

Most of history has been a struggle to sanction violence. The social justice movement isn’t even trying to hide that this is their goal any more.

Witness a spokesperson for By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), that “militant, integrated” SJW group who shut down the Traditionalist Workers Party meeting in Sacramento last month. During her interview, with a ridiculously oversized bandage on her head, her face is beaming with ecstatic, righteous vigor that is a carbon copy of faces throughout history of religious zealots burning witches, beheading apostates, crucifying nonbelievers, etc., etc.
