Steve Sailer writes: “With the Obama Administration planning to liberate urban blacks from their ghettos isolated away from job centers by forcing suburbs and exurbs to build affordable housing for them, it’s worth studying one such virtually all-black neighborhood in Los Angeles County, View Park / Windsor Hills /Baldwin Hills. Here, America’s shameful history of systemic racism and the lack of affordable housing programs in the desert exurbs keeps blacks penned up far from opportunity, forcing them to endure crushing commutes of 8 miles to Beverly Hills, 9 miles to downtown Los Angeles, and 6 miles to LAX.”
Comments to Steve Sailer:
* You know…an old coworker (he was in his 60s) of mine used to reminisce about his youthful days in Compton, Watts, and S Central LA when it was a predominately white area up until the 1960s. He used to tell me that these areas were replete with white folks, until the Watts Riots scared them out. I don’t know why white folks were scared off and ran to Orange County? They should’ve stood strong and stuck around. The Koreans didn’t run with their tails between their legs when Koreatown was destroyed during the LA Riots….Kinda tells you something about a culture: Cowardice vs. Tenacity
* Whites lack the tribal loyalty and sense of community or family that the Koreans have. They won’t stick together. Even families won’t, the first things kid do after leaving home is moving a couple thousand miles away. Whites are quite atomized. This is why Asians can thrive in such contexts and whites just run like rabbits.
This makes us easy prey. We have no sense of unity, none. This is why the Mexicans, blacks and the oligarchs can bully us at will with no fear of even a protest.
Whites could have easily made a stand in Los Angeles and not give in, they didn’t, they simply ran or caved. The same in every major city ruined by blacks. I think a good flag for whites is a running rabbit or a dog on it’s back.
Look how the Mexicans handle blacks. They have MS-13 or another hard ass gang come in take out some young black bucks to let the others know it’s time to leave the neighborhood. Say what you will about Mexicans, but when it comes to dealing with bad outsiders they know what to do.
We did too at one time, then we became too modern and civilized.
Whites don’t put their people first, whites put a lot of other things that don’t really matter first and foremost and suffer for it.
* …a white MS-13 would be identified as a “white supremacist hate group” and would be crushed by the US Federal Government. Absent that iron fist, I think you’d see plenty of Mexican- or Korean-style collective self-defense from Americans of European descent.
* I don’t get why upper-middle-class homeowning blacks would mind a white influx. It would enrich them by raising property values, improve the schools, and generate taxes to support more black government workers.
Or do they just hate white people so much they’re willing to cut off their nose to spite their face (as with the immigration issue)?
* Michael J. Fox lives in Baldwin Hills. I am sure he sticks out like a sore thumb there. I wonder if he often gets dirty looks from racist Black neighbors who do not like racial diversity and prefer Black racial homogeneity.
* The Black Section 8 house underclass do not seem to have a problem living in close proximity to White people who make more money than them.
* The worm in the apple of a place like Ladera Heights is generational reversion toward the mean, of course. What happens is that blacks with talents two- or three-sigma above the mean achieve (mostly-) well-earned success, contract a suitable marriage, buy a house in the “black Beverly Hills,” and have three or four kids. Then sadly often, just one of the children will have the talent to someday earn enough to buy a home in the same neighborhood, one or two will be fairly solid citizens (maybe the odd misdemeanor pot, bar-fight, or DUI arrest in their rambunctious years), and one will be a thug who starts out as a bully and sneak thief as a young teen, becomes a burglar and junior gangster in high school, and goes to Pitchess or maybe CYA or state prison by age 21.
The thug will often drag down his siblings by making them accomplices, getting them threatened by rival gangsters, and dissipating their potential inheritances by wasting the parents’ savings and personal energy on medical bills, bail bonds, lawyers’ and psychiatrists’ fees, etc.
The thug children will agitate the neighborhood when they’re young and disrupt it from time to time when they’re older. They will cause their parents many horrible nights and probably damage their health.
Affirmative action in education and employment has become partly a scheme to soften the impact of reversion toward the mean on high-achieving black couples. It ensures that their modestly-talented children get jobs which pay enough so they can afford to live in their parents’ kind of neighborhood without their parents’ kind of ability. But affirmative action can’t fix the thug-child problem. Middle- and upper-class white/asian parents statistically expect even their least-talented children to be able to earn a living and stay out of prison. Middle- and upper-class American black parents are much further out on statistical limbs; they cannot be so optimistic about the prospects of their least-talented children.
It is rather sad, really, and it feeds the famous problem of non-integrated neighborhoods in America. Whites and asians don’t wish to live next to even successful blacks, because those blacks have too many thug children and other kin (like siblings, cousins, nephews, whatever– reversion toward the mean predicts those other kinfolk are more thuggish than the high-achievers who can afford expensive homes in nice neighborhoods). The thug children/kin annoy, burglarize, and terrorize the neighbors. The blacks can’t easily escape their own kin, but whites and asians can escape black people’s kin, with the side effect that even fancy neighborhoods end up with little racial mixing.
