* If there weren’t Michelle Goldbergs using their high IQs and verbal facility to spin these events every time they happened, even most liberals would respond to them with a natural, common sense reaction, such as, for example, agreeing with Bill’s comments here. We’d have a much more rational public discourse.
* “Right-wing outlets like the Daily Caller and the Weekly Standard rushed, naturally, to post video of Bill’s hectoring.”
Those evil “right-wing outlets”. Publicizing the public comments of a former President on a matter of public policy. How despicable.
Michelle Goldberg doesn’t seem to realize that criticizing BLM protestors might actually be popular among a lot of voters – even Democratic voters. Probably, a lot of white and oriental Democrats have as much black-fatigue as do Republican voters, even though they might not say it. Perhaps Bill is providing a “Sister Soulja” sound-bite for his wifes’ campaigns’ benefit. Who knows – if he could still fly back to Little Rock and sign a death-warrant for a retarded black murderer, he might have done that too.
* Bubba should know by now that he cannot say that which cannot be said – be it true to the facts or not. He should know that #BlackLivesMatter is satire at its best – and give the group a comedic welcome.
* “Then, Bill Clinton aped”. An article about POC and they reference “apes”? It’s 2016!
* Realpolitik guess: the Southern primaries are over, so Clinton doesn’t need the black vote any more (she knows she has them for the general). She needs to recapture the ethnic white / union white vote that is going over to Bernie or Trump.
* That’s plausible. I think another thing is that Bill Clinton is known for being a bit of a hot head, and he lost his temper. He’s almost surely proud of how crime rates dropped hard under his presidency, and he’s proud of his crime bill for making that happen*. He’s probably sick of having feign regret.
A few years ago, Stephen Pinker specifically, if a bit wryly, praised Clinton for causing crime rates to drop. There’s a lot to dislike about Bill Clinton, but he did buck the soft-on-crime tendencies of the 1960s Democrats and worked with Republicans to increase law enforcement. In contrast, BLM is a truly evil movement, built on top of and fueled by deceit, hysteria and mass violence. Good for Bill Clinton to denounce BLM.
*I doubt his policies alone caused the drop, but Clinton is an egomaniac so he likely believes he was the main reason why crime rates went down.
* Black leadership (such as it it) pisses outside the tent. Not inside because this would require some real world self-refection and honesty plus there is lots of money to be made in mau-mauing stupid whites in gov’t. When you come right down to it American blacks want to get the same never ending paycheck as casino Indians.
* Black people are more likely to commit crime in general than white people , and this is particularity true of violent crimes, crimes that demand a police response. So because blacks are more likely to commit crime in general than whites, blacks are more likely to encounter police officers than whites. And because blacks are more likely to encounter police officers than whites, they are more likely to get booked for drug use than whites.
* I’m more inclined to ascribe Bill Clinton’s remarks to Elderly Tourette Syndrome than to cold rational political calculations–it just seemed too spontaneous. Bill is, after all, from the South and grew up in close proximity to blacks. He’s not at all surprised that a “get tough on crime bill,” put a lot more blacks in prison: that was a feature, not a bug.
* Blacks have a cultural need to publicly flout whitey’s rules. Thus they commit crime more flagrantly than do whites. Going to prison now functions as a male initiation rite in the black community.
* A Jewish male does not become a real man until he has a Bar Mitzvah. A Black male does not become a real man until he goes to prison.
Prison is Bar Mitzvah for male Negroes.
* Blacks I’ve known are generally interested in four things: getting laid, getting high, watching sports on TV and fried chicken. A drug induced stupor is their default state. Their mental ability is unimpaired by their doping because there isn’t much there to impair to begin with. A black man’s creativity and his unique contribution to wider culture is in concocting and brewing new highs, which is why they are disproportionately arrested for drug use.
Because they aren’t needed as workers and have a surfeit of leisure time with which to pursue their agenda of staying buzzed, blacks once again (as in Rap) are showing us the way forward. Increasingly, the problem in the future will be what to do with surplus humanity that has no useful purpose. Keeping them stoned zombies is as good a solution as any. Huxley may not have foreseen that people won’t need to be forced to take drugs to quell their restiveness, they may demand drugs to silence the torment that is the human condition. They will willingly choose to stay buzzed right up to the grave, oblivious to the demands that teleological individuality imposes on us.
Evolution designed us to live with a certain amount of worry and anxiousness, which purposeful behavior relieves. But this also causes discomfort and blacks like being free from worry, hence their drug use. This is the way forward for those made irrelevant by robots etc. Once again, the wise, magical Negro has shown us the way.
* Ordinarily, I’d say Bill’s instincts are correct for moving towards the center for the general election, but the Dems are still in the primaries, and this looks like a big mistake to do it so early. White liberals are so brainwashed that blacks have become magic unicorns to them, and if you criticize blacks in any way, shape, or form, liberals think you’re evil–and that you’re an old fogey who needs to be put out to pasture, much the same way liberals in the 1960s used to view elderly white Southerners. Liberals are only going to back Bernie in even greater numbers after this.
White liberals aren’t voting for Bernie because of his stance on race. They’re voting for Bernie because he’s not Hillary. They think Hillary is appalling. This is the blind spot in the Clinton polling. Heck, I’ve heard many liberals froth at the mouth about what Hillary has done in Honduras as SoS, and Republicans are so out of it they haven’t even heard about that issue.
The problem is, for many liberals, the Clintons are too old, too set in their ways, too 1980s, too greedy, too corrupt, too status quo, and with race signaling like this, liberals won’t tolerate it. They have made themselves into an Inquisition. We are living in an age of left-wing McCarthyism, with a bizarre mind-set that has taken over the levers and controls of society. As noted in the other article about the female broadcaster, liberals think it’s normal to fire employees for saying the same stuff that Bill just said. This is a very different era from the 1980s.
If lefties go even farther, they’ll begin to morph into the sort of extreme nut-jobism that took over in communist societies like Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Mao’s China, and Stalin’s Russia. The only thing protecting our basic rights are our present laws, which the left keeps encroaching on and trying to alter to suit their crazy ideology.
