Since the 1960s Washington has launched countless programs in what might be characterized as “racial alchemy” whose purpose is to make blacks nearly identical to whites in income, educational achievement, vocational status, being law abiding, eschewing welfare dependency and multiple other measures of equality. Despite all the billions, perhaps trillions, the results have been disappointing. But, almost invisibly, the enterprise has been transformed. It has evolved from one of seeking concrete results to one of manufacturing the illusion of equality. Success is now calibrated by cosmetic criteria–recall Oscar Wilde’s quip that only shallow people do not judge by appearances.
The racial Potemkin village is everywhere and let me depict only a few of the more obvious manifestations (I’ll skip TV sitcoms, the movies, video games, comics and book prizes). Consider the sudden appearance of well-spoken, well-dressed, “white speaking” blacks in TV commercials. A Martian who knew the US exclusively from watching TV would conclude that blacks comprised at least a third of the population and, without exception, lived as intact Ossie and Harriet-like families in bucolic suburban homes (the sole exception I’ve encountered is a State Farm commercial where the satisfied female customer is “ghetto” in speech and hairdo). One GMC truck commercial prominently features a black conducting a symphony orchestra. Add lots of good-looking typically young inter-racial couples and racially mixed groups of working class men quaffing a few beers together. Black actors also often portray doctors advising their white patients on the latest pharmaceutical products or explaining MRI’s to worried elderly white cancer patients. Highly presentable Ph.D’s of color likewise populate PBS-like scientific TV documentaries.
Today’s racial alchemy reaches industrial levels when it comes to black crime. Gruesome black-on-white murders only appear on the local news (if then) and would be almost non-existent save for politically incorrect websites that pass it along to wider audiences. And when black crime does escape containment, it is usually sanitized—accounts of black wildings at malls use terms like “youths’ or “teenagers” while black perpetrators are often race-less though crime details make it easy to identify the perpetrator as black. Meanwhile, those who somehow get on TV to challenge Black Lives Matter rhetoric with Department of Justice statistics on inter-racial violence get their ten seconds of fame before quickly being shouted down as racists. And let’s not forget rolling back broken windows policy as a way of “reducing” crime.”
A similar ubiquity infuses education. Difficult-to-boost test scores have been replaced by more malleable graduation statistics while performances on Advanced Placement exams (Chapter 5) are now often measured by the sheer number of “minorities” who take these exams. Similarly, large numbers of blacks are now pushed into gifted programs though they fail to meet the necessary academic criteria. Sustaining the charade are school officials who turn a blind eye to cheating on government mandated tests. Then there’s using grandiose names for disguising mediocre schools—only 14% of the graduates of the Bronx-based largely Hispanic and black Archimedes Academy for Math, Science and Technology Applications are academically ready for New York City’s flagship public college (as defined by not needing remedial classes) despite the school’s august sounding name. Further add Department of Justice consent decrees to close historic race-related gaps in school discipline. Nor is higher education immune to the construction of this racial fantasy land as even elite schools continue to embrace affirmative action and offer easy-to-pass majors such as Black Studies all the while hiring marginally qualified black academics to diversify once monochromatic departments.
Our public vocabulary has shifted to toward abstractions to absolve blacks from any personal responsibility for their plight. There are no lazy, intellectual inept black students; all want to learn but, sadly, have the misfortune to attend bad, often vandalized schools. Young blacks now, allegedly, commit crimes because they have the bad luck to live in a crime-ridden neighborhood and cannot find work because all the jobs have left town. And so many are in jail due to the government’s policy of mass incarceration. Read on.
COMMENTS:
* American TV also glamorizes miscegenation. This choice is generally not good advice however. Bi-racialism can alienate children from their parents as well as their community. A white female who chooses to bear a black child is putting her offspring in a disadvantaged position and in underachieving class. Race correlates strongly with IQ and any number of behavior traits. This should not be ignored. Yet it is.
When white females bear black children, they usually end up raising the child alone since black fathers often disappear. The white mother is then left particularly isolated since white males do not want to raise a black man’s baby. This causes further stress on mother and child alike.
The children of interracial romance also suffer from identity issues. This spreads hardship throughout the family and into the community.
Miscegenation is very risky. It should not be glamorized by TV/Hollywood. Yet it is.
* I like the one where the White couple are destroying their house to avoid having to call their insurance man while next door and the brilliant Blacks bought AllState (or whomever). Those folks are the epitome of the .0001% of Blacks pushed as the average. And, average Blacks would hate all the successful Blacks in ads because by being successful, they are “acting White”. There are a million of these examples now, of course.
Now what kind of street cred does a conventionally successful (degree and an honest profession, wife and family) Black have? Zero. The Blacks in the ghetto would hate those folks because that path is what White folks take to success. That of course is abhorrent to low-rent Blacks because that path means hard work, in spite of how easy it’s become for Blacks to take that path. And true to form, any Black kid with the instinct to learn and succeed is derided and beaten up at school (ghetto schools that is) for acting White. That one aspect is huge, I suspect, bigger than we know.
* How come black women don’t have curly hair anymore? Watching the convention I marveled at Michelle’s do.
Their hair straightening treatments are both a fiscal and ecological catastrophe. We are talking toxic chemicals flushed into the water supply and financed by the taxpayers.
* There’s a channel on YouTube run by a Japanese guy. Foreigners send him questions about Japan and he uses them to interview random Japanese people on the street. When asked, one Japanese girl thought the African American population was close to 50% of the US, no doubt because of media depictions.
* Let’s not forget Diverse Alchemy.
All those ‘refugees’ flooding into Europe will become doctors and engineers.
Let’s not forget homo alchemy and tranny alchemy. Bunghole is a sex organ and a penis can turn into a vagina.
And there is sexual alchemy. Women will save American business. There was Ellen Pao. Now this one [Marissa Mayer].
* When I ask my Taiwanese students about the demographics of the US, especially concerning blacks, these educated professionals routinely make guesses in the 35 – 45% range. The squeaky wheel gets the media coverage. Perhaps more surprising is the fact that US citizens also believe that blacks make up at least 25% of the population.
* My fave commercial is the Liberty Mutual one where the woman is mocking the man because she got a rebate check for “superior driving”.
Apparently for women, failing to have two accidents a year constitutes driving excellence.
* Racial alchemy indeed. Little green men watching American TV would get the impression that blacks are America’s leading citizens and represent an intellectual elite. It seems every police chief is black and most judges are black females. Only on TV are the criminals mostly white and the cops mostly black.
Blacks are never depicted as exclusively evil in movies. If an evil black or two is required then it will be balanced by equally evil whites and good blacks. After all, we don’t what those white people in flyover country getting the wrong ideas about race or looking askance at the black man.
The popular TV series The Walking Dead is a perfect example of this longstanding industry trend where goodwhites and blacks ban together against badwhites and blacks. But the really dastardly characters are almost always white like the governor.
And it’s Weissbergs co-racialists in the entertainment industry who are responsible for that which he laments. If his folk were true to their principles they would be churning out movies about Israeli women falling madly in love with Palestinian Muslims and depicting Muslims as leading members of Israeli society. They would include stories about the legendary size of the Palestinian Muslim man’s genitalia and his unmatched sexual prowess much like they promote the black man and sell him to brainless and naive white women in America which has produced legions of mulattoes.
