* People forget how big an issue busing was in the late 60s early 70s. Americans in big cities would put up with a lot of government imposed crap, but neighborhood schools were a part of the national secular faith. Suddenly federal judges were telling you your seven year old son had to take a 45 minute bus ride to school instead of walking three blocks. Because punishing you was the only way to redress 200 years of racism. Smart Power.
* It didn’t help that adding black students to the classroom only lowered the likelihood of learning occurring. Parents understood this. Word got around and not all teachers of that era were Lefty loons, at least not in the South. I was bused and my mom told me years later she couldn’t believe the stories I’d bring back from school. Parents compared notes and discovered they were all hearing the same remarkable stories (black students who couldn’t read, wouldn’t pay attention, etc.). This was an era when discipline was strictly imposed on white children by their parents and expected out of the school system (we had to close the education gap with the Soviets after all). It is also a big reason people fled to the suburbs and explains the creation of new cities (and thus school districts) in the suburban south as well as the growth in private schools.
* The problems caused by the influx of muslim migrants into Europe should convince Americans to fight against allowing massive muslim immigration into America. A smart politician like Trump will know how to use the raping of European women by the invading muslims to his advantage.
* If the Germans bring in a million+ horny Muslim males 20-35 years of age (sans women), who on earth is going to sexually service them? A few furtive holiday gang groping are the least of their problems going forward.
If they really want to solve the problem of public fondling and rape with (what used to be) typical hard-headed German efficiency and rationality, they need to establish a federal Comfort Woman Corps and set up “Comfort Stations” across the country.
* The Netflix documentary Making a Murderer has been getting a lot buzz. It’s about a fairly dumb family in Wisconsin getting railroaded by law enforcement, and has many HBD implications. If it were set in Detroit, with a black family, it would be about social justice. But it does show how the world is a dizzying and complicated place for those who are not too bright, and I’m reminded of Steve’s excellent Vdare articles on how to help those on left side of the bell curve — such as limiting low-skilled immigration.
Two people in the show don’t know the meaning of the word “inconsistent.” Sailer writes, unlike the military, “lawyers, regulators, consultants, academics, and others who profit from abstruseness increasingly dominate the rest of America.”
Perhaps the Blacks Lives Matter movement is not so much about the disproven violence against blacks, but a ginned up frustration at complexity and being outsmarted. The same could be said for alleged micro-aggressions, as Sailer has suggested.
* When blacks were educated by other blacks, there were several advantages. They did not try to educate students above their capacity, and they were usually somewhat motivated to educate the kids who could and wanted to be educated as well as they could. The black teachers were part of the black community because for them there was no other community: unlike “the talented tenth” today, they were not honorary whites isolated from the black underclass. And it’s a fair assumption that rambunctious but somewhat educable black males would get an ass whipping on occasion which kept them in some semblance of order. Ineducables were kicked out or put in a ‘tard corral’ somewhere.
Hiring black retired drill sergeants to discipline inner city schools is a damn good idea, BTW.
