Joe* emails: All serious students of Torah learning should have this on their favorites.

Go to the halacha shiurim of Rabbi Yisroel Reisman – there are talmud and other shiurs by him as well, and he is of course famous for his navi shiur, but the halacha shiur is truly unique.

He is now just finishing the laws of circumcision, but in the past few years, he has done the laws of meat and milk, torah study, honoring parents, and many of the laws of kashrut (and other topics as well).

There are many fascinating elements of R. Reisman’s Halacha shiur.

First, plaudits to his congregants for picking Yoreh Deah which has the ritual portions of the law, other than the holidays, blessings, and shabbat to study. There is only so much of the laws of cooking on Shabbat that one can handle.

Second, Reisman’s enthusiasm for the topics is evident and he is a good speaker. He does not stutter, he speaks slowly, and he is prepared.

But third, and truly what makes the shiur remarkable, is his style. Take circumcision for instance. For a subject of some sensitivity, once you listen to his shiurs on the topic, a bris milah will never be the same. You will know things about the medical procedure, the controversies, the blessings, and the scenarios involving conversions, and baal teshuvas applicable to circumcision. But what is intangible is the manner in which Rabbi Reisman takes you through the history of the Halacha, from the Talmud to the present day and his personal history with Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and other legendary Rabbis in dealing with practical halacha. The shiur is almost like a history of the Halacha shiur. It is truly incredible.

It completely kicks the rear end of Prager’s line by line lessons on the Bible. I went and it was like watching planes taxi on runways. It was clear that Prager wanted to hear his own voice and would much rather have spoken about his own radio show. Reisman wants to deliver the Torah and he is but its mouthpiece.

Sex Abuser Levi Moscowitz Committed Suicide

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

From the Los Angeles Times:

A 24-year-old man who was sentenced last year for meeting a minor for sex was found dead Saturday morning in Griffith Park, authorities said.
The body of Levi Moscowitz was found at 8:20 a.m. inside the southern boundary of Griffith Park near the 2600 block of Commonwealth Canyon Avenue, said Los Angeles County coroner’s Watch Cmdr. Larry Dietz.
Investigators have not determined a cause of death and are waiting to perform an autopsy, Dietz said.
Moscowitz was arrested Feb. 28, 2014, after he told an undercover officer online that he wanted to perform sex acts with a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, according to a police report obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
Police had responded to an ad Moscowitz had posted days earlier on Craigslist in which he sought to join an incestuous sexual encounter, the police report said.
Moscowitz went to Long Beach for what he thought was to be a sexual encounter. Police arrested him there.
The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office charged Moscowitz with one felony count of meeting a minor for lewd purposes, according to the criminal complaint.
Moscowitz pleaded no contest in October and was sentenced to one day in jail, a year of counseling and five years of probation, the Jewish Journal reported.
His attorney, Tiffany E. Feder, described Moscowitz as religious and sincere, and she expressed shock and sadness over his death.

Six Black Teens Beat A White Man To Death

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

REPORT: We’ve learned recently how hate crimes only apply if you’re the right race.

Unfortunately, Pat Mahaney wasn’t the that race.

Mahaney, a 46-year-old man who was badly beaten by six teens, died at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, nearly a year after being attacked. [H/T TopConservativeNews.]

Mahaney’s brutal assault, which left him clinging to life, was carried out by juveniles who were ages 13 and 14.

The six claimed they assaulted Mahaney because they were “bored and looking for something to do.”

The problem? Mahaney is white and the six youths were all black.

In spite of this, no hate crime charges were filed against the teens. In fact, despite putting Mahaney into a coma, the most that they faced was felonious assault.

Even after Mahaney died, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office was quoted as saying that they needed to determine what “next steps, if any” would be taken upon Mahaney’s death.

While not to belabor the point, we live in a country where a police officer who was defending his own life – Darren Wilson – is possibly going to be charged with a civil rights crime by Eric Holder’s Department of Justice because he was white and the victim was black.

A federal civil rights charge is essentially the ultimate hate crime charge – something that says that the government has reason to believe that force was used on a suspect because of the suspect’s race.

And yet, we’ve continued to chronicle scores of instances where white victims seem cherry-picked by African-American perpetrators, and yet the prosecutors refuse to even mention hate crime charges, much less pursue them.

There was the case of Zoe Reed, who was shot in the stomach by African-American suspects for no reason during a robbery. No hate crime charges.

During the rioting in St. Louis, a Bosnian immigrant was beaten to death by a group of African-American juveniles wielding hammers.

The police refused to even consider the hate crime angle until another Bosnian immigrant was pulled from her car in St. Louis and viciously attacked. And this time, the only reason they considered it as such was because the perpetrators specifically asked the victim if she was Bosnian before they began attacking her.

Then there was the African-American Maryland Transit Authority bus driver who got other African-American high school students to beat up a white family who was riding the bus. In spite of suborning the assault of an entire family, yet again there were no hate crime charges, along with very little media attention.

FRIEND TO LUKE: Life punishes those not wealthy enough to live in safe racially white enclaves like most of Manhattan. And that’s part of the reason why this place is so much more expensive than say, Newark.

Whites pay a premium to stay away from blacks. And that premium is now spread across America. I have been looking at other cities, and all the good ones are now damned expensive. Boston, DC, Seattle, New York, SF and Silicon Valley. Not sure about LA, but I assume the decent parts are now very $$$$$$.

Without Bias

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

On June 19, 1986, the second pick of the NBA draft that year, Len Bias, died of a cocaine overdose. I remember hearing the news. I worked as a reporter at the time for KAHI/KHYL radio in Auburn & Sacramento. It was a story. It was sad, but it was hardly shocking to me that a young black man would make a stupid decision that would cost him his life. I went to a white high school, Placer, and when we played the black school, Grant, many of the Grant students would come over to our side of the bleachers and try to pick fights. I remember living in Baltimore in the summer of 1980, when I was 14, and how black kids would yell epithets at me simply because I was white. I knew they had a high crime rate and that it made no sense to be around this criminally inclined people.

I just watched ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary on Len Bias, called Without Bias. There’s not a whiff of criticism of Len Bias in the movie. Yeah, he used drugs and that was silly, but Len Bias was a wonderful man. I don’t regard people who use drugs as victims.

It’s Still About The Country Clubs

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

From comments to Steve Sailer:

* You don’t see many blacks being welcomed into synagogues, or many Gentiles welcomed into the Jews only country clubs that surround New York City.

* The smart way, I assume, to keep non-Whites out: No, we’re not anti-Black/Asian/Mestizo. Our organization is just restricted to Jews. It’s entirely co-incidental that restricting our membership to Jews also keeps out 99% of Blacks/Asians/Mestizos.

* More and more, these types of opinions reveal a moral elite who are just starting to recognize that their position is faltering in the world. The success of UKIP and Le Pen in Europe, tens of thousands demonstrating in the streets over there against Islamification in the last few weeks, millions of white Americans siding with the police and George Zimmerman. vs. Trayvon & the looters in Ferguson. Their convoluted logic is trying to justify itself through convoluted language.

* How have Hispanics been “oppressed and discriminated against” in America? They basically were not even part of America until very recently, yet they have their own (quite racist) group organizations. And the general liberal consensus is very accepting of this, indeed it seems eager to encourage the creation of a “Hispanic” identity which exists nowhere outside of America.

* It seems to me that the definition of racism has expanded greatly over the years, first being used to describe race based Birmingham ‘separation’ regulations back in the sixties and now it has expanded to mean even noticing race, but especially if you are white. David E.M. Thompson said, “Racism was once defined as behaviors – what people did and what they said.
Racism is now defined as an attitude – what people think and how they feel.”

The Euro American organizations discussed in the article as not the rebirth of the KKK but bewildered whites trying to organize themselves….just the way all other groups do. it is not ‘white supremacist’ as much as ‘white equalicist’

Regarding whites organizing on racial grounds: I quote African-American Harvard Law Professor Randall Kennedy, from a 1997 Atlantic article, ‘My Race Problem-and Ours.’ He wrote about whites organizing as a race, it is the other side of the coin.

“I find it difficult to accept that it is wrong for whites to mobilize themselves on a racial basis solely for purposes of white advancement but morally permissible for blacks to mobilize themselves on a racial basis solely for purposes of black advancement.”

Dallas Wins 24-20!

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Luke Ford

I was sweating bullets, calling out to the heavens, and in great turmoil throughout this game.

Chaim Amalek: “Let’s organize our bachurim into mitzvah leagues, where the victor is whoever does the most learning and obeys the most stringencies in doing mitzvos. And his reward won’t just be in heaven, but here on earth, too. The rebbe could praise him, which would get him a better shudduck. And, just as with bowling a perfect score is 300, in this league a perfect score would be 613.”

Souring On Orthodox Judaism

Posted on January 3, 2015 by Luke Ford

This hot Jewish chick I know is souring on Orthodox Judaism: “I don’t think God gave me these looks and this brain so I could put a scarf on my head and retreat from the world.”

A male friend interrogates me: “Who is this hot ortho woman? Why is she flirting with it? For most sensible people it holds little appeal apart from that you can get from a cult. Are you thinking of banging her?”

Luke: “Do you think I could communicate w any attractive woman without thinking of…?”

Friend: “Hmm…yes, if you are sufficiently steeped in Torah. That is because inside you are still a goy. You have yet to take that inner goy aside and crucify him.”

Gentrification is a euphemism for ‘becoming more white’

Posted on January 3, 2015 by Luke Ford

Report:

The descent of Ferguson into chaos, the bankruptcy of Detroit, and the arrest of yet another black mayor on corruption charges might lead one to question whether or not civilization in America can be salvaged. One commenter threw out “Rebel’s Guide to the Collapse of an American City,” which, if taken at face value would suggest that all American cities are doomed to become mega-Camdens, or worse American Port-Au-Princes. The commenters on the article largely agreed, lamenting that their city centers were stolen by mobs of rampaging blacks. From where I sit, however, the forces of civilization are fighting back in cities and neighborhoods across the country, and winning. Take one specific neighborhood, Harlem’s 28th Precinct. Just 23 years ago, the epicenter of black culture in New York City had 41 murders, 71 rapes, and 1050 robberies. The same neighborhood last year experienced 2 murders, 12 rapes, and 211 robberies, a staggering decrease in crime. Like Harlem, neighborhoods that just ten years ago were considered “no-go zones” are now attracting white settlers by the tens of thousands. America’s murder rate, once the highest in the developed world has fallen to a fifty year low.
The essay that follows is a very brief history of the conquest of many American cities by a predominantly black underclass, the nascent Reconquista, and an examination of the strategies and tactics in use. I choose to look at gentrification through the lens of total war. For gentrification to be successful, it requires mobilizing disparate elements of society: individuals, families, businesses, governments, and civic organizations. Like war, the strategy and tactics best suited to reclaim a particular neighborhood are highly context dependent. The ideal strategy for the Malaya Emergency (anti-communist counterinsurgency) is very different from the Battle of France (maneuver warfare with combined arms). Similarly, the ideal strategies for reclaiming West Oakland and Harlem may differ significantly.
Any foreign visitor to America who is not steeped in our history would likely visit a city like Chicago, St. Louis, Oakland, or Detroit, and wonder, “How is it that the wealthiest country in the history of the world has allowed some of its nicest cities to become smoking craters?” The answer is complex, but certainly the most common answer is “White Flight.” According to this narrative, once upon a time, nice blacks moved to predominantly white cities to work in the factories. Racist whites were aghast at the thought of black neighbors, so taking advantage of FHA subsidized mortgages and vast freeways, they all moved to the suburbs, taking their wealth with them. Then, starved for tax money, the now 90+% black inner cities became the hellscapes we know them as today. One question that is rarely raised is this, “How did predominantly German, Italian, Irish, Polish cities like Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis come to have enough blacks to alarm the whites in the first place?” A large part of the explanation is the “Great Migration.”

Chaim Amalek: “Interesting read. One point I would disagree with him on is the role of concealed carry in pacifying an area. Maybe in some locations it has, but not in all and not in Williamsburg (which I am personally familiar with). NY still has very tough gun laws, and has managed to radically reduce its crime rate nonetheless. Also, I think the central factor in the wrecking of America’s cities in the seventies was forced busing.”

Would You Want To Trust Your NFL Franchise To A Black Quarterback?

Posted on January 3, 2015 by Luke Ford

Quarterbacks tend to be the most highly paid position in the NFL because the play of your starting quarterback, more than anything else, will usually determine how well your team does.

NFL contracts typically run for many years so a starting NFL quarterback today is usually earning over $8 million per year with a contract guaranteed for many years.

All things being equal, who do you think is more likely to be hard-working and responsible? A black or a white quarterback? We have plenty of NFL history in which to judge that question.

Samuel G. Freedman writes for The New Yorker, Jan. 29, 2014:

There are reasons why the last four positions to be desegregated in pro football were the four with the most decision-making responsibility: free safety, middle linebacker, center, and quarterback.
First, quarterback is surely the most cerebral position in sports. So, for a mid-century America still largely convinced of black intellectual inferiority, no black athlete could possibly play the position. Second, the quarterback is, to use the cliché, the “field general,” leading troops and giving orders. In an America that saw the role of blacks as following commands, and certainly never delivering them to whites, no black player could possibly lead a team. Finally, to be a quarterback is to possess those ineffable traits of character—work ethic, poise under pressure, resilience after even a devastating mistake. But black quarterbacks were invariably described as “natural athletes.” While that term may sound like a compliment, it evokes the venerable racist iconography of blacks as animals: monkeys, apes, jungle predators, all of them operating on mindless reflex alone.
Over the thirty-seven seasons since James Harris excelled with the Rams, these stereotypes have largely abated, though they have not vanished altogether. During Donovan McNabb’s stellar career with the Eagles, Rush Limbaugh declared that the quarterback was overrated because he was black. In football chatter, it is almost always white quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, of the Patriots, who are extolled for their study habits and on-the-field analysis. Meanwhile, discussions of Kaepernick focus on the direction of his baseball cap and the number of his tattoos.

Steve Sailer provides more intelligent commentary:

The Limbaugh firing was back early in the 2003 season (here’s my VDARE article at the time). Since then we’ve had twelve more seasons of statistics to disprove Limbaugh’s Heresy. And football statistics have improved dramatically since then in quality. (Here are 2014′s best NFL quarterbacks using two different state of the art methodologies.)
Yet what do we find? That 2003 was perhaps the high point for black quarterbacks in the NFL.
For example, ESPN has calculated their QBR system back for nine seasons through 2006. Just glancing at the top ten all around NFL quarterbacks over the last nine seasons, by this metric 10 of the 90 spots have been filled by blacks.
Since 2003′s apogee, blacks have been represented at QB in the NFL roughly in proportion to their share of the population. But that’s not enough for the Freedmans of the sporting press. It’s not about equality or proportionate representation, it’s about Who? Whom?

Here are some good comments to Steve Sailer:

* I was wondering if Steve would notice how 2014 seemed to be the season of the white QB. Another knock on black QBs, now that we have a real sample size, seems to be career life span. Even the best black QBs (McNabb, Vick, McNair) seem to have 5 or 6 good years then decline incredibly quickly. Compare that to the Mannings/Brady/Roethlisberger/Brees/Rivers, all of whom have been good to great for more than a decade each. Rogers and Luck very much seem in the same mold as those guys, while Kaepernick is already burning out. And look at how quickly Josh Freeman went from potential superstar to washed up back-up. Seems like if you are trying to build a franchise around a long term solution you probably want the dependable white guy, even if it is Andy Dalton, over a more athletically talented but less disciplined candidate.

* One reason for the black QB decline in the NFL is the proliferation of option offenses. You don’t have to be particularly smart or disciplined to run them, just athletic. Anymore, a lot of the college game is simply predicated on who has the most talent. Only at the upper stratosphere of colleges where talent is somewhat equal does coaching play a big part. But, that doesn’t translate into NFL success where the talent differential is pretty flat.

Right after Urban Meyer left BGSU, one of his recruits started a quarterback and played for three years as starter before getting drafted by Pittsburgh. He has a good college career but was incapable of understanding an NFL playbook. He went from the team to the practice squad. He was cut a couple of weeks after that.

* Even the plausible case of Warren Moon isn’t that plausible. A legend has grown up about how he was scandalously overlooked in the NFL draft, but here are his stats for his junior and senior years at Washington:

Year /Comp/Att/Comp %/Passing Yds/TD/INT

1976/81/175/46.3/1,106/6/8
1977/125/223/56.3/1,772/12/9

By his senior year, he was a very good – but by no means great – college quarterback. The Husky Rose Bowl team that beat Michigan went 7-4 that year, backing into the Rose Bowl when USC kicked a late field goal to upset UCLA, which had beaten the Huskies earlier that year. The focal point of the Husky offense was tailback Joe Steele, who finished the year as the Huskies’ all-time rushing leader.

Not getting drafted and playing in Canada was the best thing that could have happened to Warren Moon. The pass-happy CFL made Moon into the great pro quarterback he became. He also had the good fortune to play for his CFL coach, Hugh Campbell, when he landed in Houston, so he already knew the offensive scheme and fit in immediately. Had he been drafted right out of the UW he would have spent a couple of years carrying the clipboard and signaling plays to the starter, and probably been out of football within five years.

Warren Moon is a Husky Legend and hero. New Year’s Day 1978 will always be a cherished memory for me, but we shouldn’t let his eternal chipped shoulder obscure reality.

* Robert Griffin III has been an unmitigated disaster the last two years after his 2012 breakout. He can’t read defenses, can’t make pre-snap adjustments, he takes sacks constantly instead of throwing the ball away, he refuses to run read option plays that average about 5-6 yards a play and he is apparently a jerk in private to his teammates.

Jay Gruden is trying to run him out of town to replace him with the very average Colt McCoy. I had the pleasure of watching fat Donovan Mcnabb for a season as well and the only thing Robert and Donovan have in common is their resistance to coaching and learning a playbook.

The future stand out QB’s will be Carr in Oakland and Bortles in Jacksonville.

* Anyone notice the ethnic background of the Florida State Seminoles when they got clobbered by Oregon in the Rose Bowl? They started 21 blacks and one white. No Hispanics or Asians. I know there are a lot of black people in Florida, but I don’t think they make up anywhere near 95.45% of the population, so it appears they are grossly over represented on the Seminole team. No Native Americans either, in spite of the nickname. If you had a team that was 95% white, even from a majority white state, there would be screams of discrimination from the media, and President Obama would turn Eric Holder loose on them.

I know, Rev. Sharpton would counter that you can’t get much more diverse than a team that is 95.45% black, but I would like to see a truly diverse team, maybe like the one fielded by the Oregon Ducks. And the diverse Ducks kicked the nearly uniracial Seminoles’ tails.

* The NFL quarterback is not just the on field leader of his team, he is the off field marketing leader too and an NFL team is a business that depends on selling very expensive tickets to fans. Black QB’s , like other black players, have tended to have behavior problems that affect their value to a team above and beyond the team W-L ratio.

An owner, indeed the NFL, has a problem when a team is led by a QB who is arrested for torturing dogs like Michael Vick, guzzles narcotic cough syrup like JaMarcus Russell, is arrested for brawling in a strip club like Vince Young,etc.. I recall reading that when the Carolina Panthers owner met his new QB Cam Newton he remarked to Newton, ‘nice haircut’, meaning he was pleased to not have a rope haired RG 3 or tattooed freak like Colin Kaepernick as the representative of his team.

* I’m going to ask two football trivia questions to illustrate a point.

1) Of all NFL quarterbacks who started 16 games in a season, who was sacked the MOST times?

2) Of all NFL quarterbacks who started 16 games in a season, who was sacked the FEWEST times?

The answer is completely counter-intuitive. Most fans would think that some big, stiff white guy was sacked the most times and that a swift, mobile black QB was sacked the fewest times. In reality, the starting QB who was sacked the fewest times in a season was… big, stiff, slow, white Dan Marino (just 7 sacks in 1988)! And the quarterback who was sacked the most times in a season was speedy black Randall Cunningham (sacked 104 times in 1986)!

People often assume that the best way to avoid being sacked is to run away from pass rushers. WRONG! The best way to avoid being sacked is to make fast reads and get rid of the ball in a hurry. Dan Marino excelled at that. Randall Cunningham often relied on his speed too much, and kept running around when he should have thrown the ball away. He’d elude one pass rusher, maybe two, but then get taken down behind the line.

That’s not a failing unique to black quarterbacks. White Johnny Manziel has the same problem. He ran for a lot of yards in college, but that was often because he couldn’t read defenses well, and took off running whenever he couldn’t see an open receiver immediately. You can get away with that in college, but in the NFL, ALL the defenders are fast.

* Astorian, you are exactly correct. Cam Newton has led the league in number of times sacked in last 3 years with a whopping 467 sacks taken. This is double the next closest quarterback.

Running quarterbacks (especially black quarterbacks) tend to take way too many sacks for the reasons you cited – not getting rid of the damn ball.

Today’s NFL quarterback position now has a strong cognitive component that requires IQ to sustain a long number of successful seasons, partly due to the ability of defensive coordinators to study tapes and change coverage schemes. The position requires constant learning.

* Peyton Manning, who is now very slow, seldom gets sacked. Aaron Rodgers, who is a decent running quarterback, gets sacked more. But Rodgers throws fewer interceptions than Manning. The best quarterbacks trade off sacks v. interceptions. Rodgers might not throw 100 interceptions in his whole career. But he does get sacked a lot more than Peyton Manning, twice in the 50s in one season, while Manning has been sacked more than 21 times in a season in a decade.

* What is the significance of the fact that the starting quarterback for each of of the four teams in the college football playoff semi-finals is black — Winston, Mariota, Sims, and Jones.?

I haven’t seen any commentary on this.

If the NFL is prejudiced against starting black quarterbacks, why is college football more enlightened?

28Sherman tried to come up with the top five black NFL quarterbacks of all time:

2. Donovan McNabb – McNabb carried an Iggles offense that had no good wide receivers until they brought in Terrell Owens (who selfishly destroyed the team’s 2005 title chances), had an okay TE, and a rushing attack that was so-so until Brian Westbrook roided up to carry the ball 200+ times a season. McNabb was frustrating to watch because he was a great deep thrower, but his intermediate stuff was rough, which pulled his completion % down. The guy seemed to have no real touch on his passes, and everything from a 50 yard deep post to a 5 yard slant was thrown at 99 mph. John Madden said that when McNabb missed WRs, you knew no one, receiver or defender, could catch it. Once the Iggles surrounded him with some actual receivers, his numbers got better, but he couldn’t stay healthy. It wasn’t like McNair, who took a beating, but more just odd things. McNabb tore tendons, ligaments, odd muscles, etc. It was a sports news item the year he showed up late in his career (contract extension season) 25 lbs lighter. He was 31-32, not 37-38. He should’ve been in great shape. McNabb was also his own worst enemy, as he didn’t rehab thoroughly, gained weight, and wasn’t a game film junkie. He accused Shanahan and the Redkins of being a bit racial by treating him poorly, yet when he went to Minnesota, he pulled the same crap. I liked McNabb and felt Philly fans were ungrateful shits to him. Still, it seemed weird how he got the yips in big spots, or how he seemed to hyperventilate and threw up in playoff games when the Iggles needed him the most.
1. Warren Moon – Was there any doubt? I could not even find five other black NFL QBs I would classify as great. Moon was a Hall of Fame QB who did deal with actual discrimination when he tried to break into the NFL. He went to Canada after NFL teams wanted him to change positions, rocked it there, and then started in the NFL at 28. Kevin Gilbride designed a great system for Moon in Houston, Moon executed it well, and Moon was great for several years. He stayed productive well into his 30s, and had some good years in Minnesota (pre-Randy Moss effect) and even a good year in his 40s. He did slap around his wife, after winning the NFL Man of the Year award, and his Hall of Fame selection felt like a PC sports writer accomplishment. An NFL fan could name twenty five white quarterbacks they would take ahead of Moon, which reveals just how odd the lack of great black quarterbacks is. Considering the competition, he’s the best black quarterback of all time.

Steve Sailer writes: “It remains fascinating that after decades of Establishment campaigning for more black quarterbacks in the NFL, year after year we wind up with results like this, with Russell Wilson, last year’s Super Bowl winner, the only black quarterback to be clearly in the league’s elite.”

Comments to Sailer:

* With fine motor control — pitching a baseball, throwing a football, hitting a golf ball, etc — it’s all about reproducibility.

The more you can do the exact same movement every time, the better off you are. Because you can correct flaws. You can figure out what’s wrong, figure out what’s right, and do the exact same motion each time.

With fine motor control, blacks often have too much random error in their movements. Impossible to correct the problem. Not an accident that an all-time great shooter like Ray Allen, who is black, has mild OCD.

Obviously some blacks have elite fine motor control, just a lower % than with whites and asians. In NFL and NBA other skills often make up for that.

There’s also a lot of mixed-race black guys who combine black athleticism with white fine motor control. Stephen Curry, for example, who’s probably only a quarter black.

Half and quarter black athletes seem incredibly over-represented in elite sports compared even to black athletes. I thought only 20% of blacks were 50% or more white. That’s only a few % of the population, yet highly represented. Russel Wilson being one of them. The most successful “black” QBs in recent years have only been 25-50% black. Wilson, Kaepernick.

* Black quarterbacks tend to have a spectacular season (or two at most) and then flame out in epic fashion before finishing their careers in wildly inconsistent fashion as turnover producing machines (Michael Vick is exhibit A for this phenomenon).

And even when black quarterbacks go on winning streaks they still don’t really throw many actual touchdown passes. AFAIK, only Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham and Dante Culpepper are black NFL quarterbacks who have thrown for 30+ TD passes in a year, and none of those guys did it more than twice. In contrast, both Aaron Rodgers and Tony Romo already have 4 seasons of 30+ TD passes, Tom Brady has 5 and Drew Brees has done accomplished that for 7 straight years.

Michael Vick’s high in TD passes for a season is a paltry 21. Neither Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick nor Robert Griffin 3 have even thrown for 25 TD passes in a season yet, either.

* Steve, have you looked at the wonderlic scores by position?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderlic_test

“the average score of a NFL player according to position is the following:

Offensive tackle – 26
Center – 25
Quarterback – 24
Guard – 23
Tight end – 22
Safety – 19
Linebacker – 19
Cornerback – 18
Wide receiver – 17
Fullback – 17
Halfback – 16″

I think we could do a pretty nice white to black gradient with this data.

* What about the increase of quality white wide receivers in the NFL over the last decade or so?

By the mid-to-late eighties, it seemed as though WR was on its way to becoming an exclusively back position (along with tailback and cornerback).

The entire decade of the 90s produced only three WRs that even die hard football fans would recognize by name -Wayne Chrebet, Ed McCaffrey, and Ricky Proehl.

There are more good WRs who are white guys in the NFL right now- Jordy Nelson (91 catches, 1,519 yards, 13 touchdowns) Wes Welker (5 seasons with 100+ catches and 1000+ yards), Eric Decker (74, 962, 5), Julian Edelman (92, 972, 4), and Riley Cooper (55, 577,3)
Add receiving tight ends to the mix and you also have Rob Gronkowski, Greg Olson, Jason Witten, and Travis Kelce.

While certainly not an even split, it’s a curious trend nonetheless.
Did white guys get faster?
Did rule changes protecting receivers over the middle of the field benefit big white guys who are only a step slower than their black competitors?
Did NFL scouts lessen their bias against white players competing at positions where conventional wisdom says you need black guys if you expect to win?

* The numbers of black QBs at the high school and college level continues to grow. And truthfully they do a pretty good job of it. That is because the high school/college game is much much different from the NFL game.

In the NFL game if you cannot hurt the defense by throwing from the pocket, then you will not get much playing time.

In the college game, everything is much simpler, and a running QB makes more sense because the defenses are not as good at hitting the QB. Truthfully, if I were a college or high school FB coach, I would prefer a black qb. It is easier to find a strong, athletic, QB with a good arm who is black than it is to find the right white QB and develop him. It takes time to develop that tall white QB who can pick apart defenses from the pocket. Why spend all that time and effort when you can just find a decent black QB who can run and pass, but who cannot really pick apart a defense from the pocket? You don’t really need to do that in high school or college. Compared to the tall white pocket QB, a black qb who has a strong arm and can run is a dime a dozen. Find one and simplify the offense.

To reach the top of the NFL game requires intelligence, mental discipline and a grinding work ethic, and other things, too.

Black QBs can often do OK for the first few games or even for a year or two, but once the other teams get enough video of him, they can almost always shut him down.

But intelligence, mental discipline and a grinding work ethic? That is kryptonite to almost all blacks.

The black qbs that do succeed past the first couple of NFL years of their career are either about half white (Russell Wilson) or they have freakish physical gifts (Cam Newton, Donovan McNabb).

The problem is that even for the NFL it takes time to develop those tall white QBs who can pick you apart from the pocket. And most do not pan out. That can kill a coaching career. That is why the NFL drafts so many black qb’s even though almost all the top QBs in the NFL are white.

* I often wonder if the NFL will end up with a really smart commissioner who realizes that whites have an endurance advantage and makes subtle rule changes to speed up the game (based on the completely plausibly deniable idea that a whiter NFL will have more non-black fans).

* College football coaches as well as pro coaches and scouts are, for the most part, anti-White. Barry Switzer, former NFL and college coach, recently said he’d never have a white quarterback on his team (he forgot about Troy Aikman). Other coaches have made similar quotes that if made against any group but Euro-Americans would result in an automatic firing. Watch Mark Wahlberg’s movie “Invincible” to get a small picture of what goes on in American football.

* There does seem to have been a rise in white WRs in the last decade. The big white TE is quite common, but the small quick white WR is more common in 2014 than I would have predicted 20 years ago. Their skill set seems to rely on running ultra-precise short routes, quick slants and the like. Precision, timing, and good hands.

The deep ball star WR — tall, lanky, fast and able to jump — seems exclusively black.

I think the rules limiting defense have opened a space for some of these white WRs to compete better. Not sure how exactly.

* You can just look a Wilson to see how much euro descent he has. If he’s more than 50% black it’s just barely. His hair and facial features aren’t very African. His father appears to be less black than the son.

Remember, in America, people with more than about 30% of African ancestry tend to ID as black. Recent study had the cut-off line at 28% Wilson’s farther appears to be less than half black and his mom more than half and he’s probably around half. The picture I saw of Wilson’s grandpa is a very light-skinned black guy — classic NAACP leadership from that era light-skinned.

* Ol guys tend to either be white or very intelligent regardless of race. You have to concentrate to understand snap counts, blacking schemes, memorize plays and assignments, work out like crazy, et al. There are exceptions like Michael Oher of “The Blind Side” fame. Even black guys who play OL tend to come from privileged backgrounds. Jonathan Ogden, who figures to get into the Hall of Fame as soon as he is eligible, is the son of an attorney, as is Jonathan Martin. You do have yahoo knuckle headed white guys like Richie Incognito or Kyle Turley, but they are increasingly the exception. In the 1970s the San Diego Chargers did a study of the kinds of personalities that are found at the various positions. It corresponds closely to this wonderlic data.

* Offensive lineman are now getting taller because it’s important to have long arms and big hands so that you can hold the defensive player at range to control him better. As a blocker, if the defensive player has already gotten into your body he can knock you down easier. You don’t want want a “bowling ball” offensive lineman who’s only strong and stumpy, you want someone who can leverage a defender backwards off the line from a distance and who can occasionally move down the line and lead out in front of a runner proceeding downfield.

Hand size, wingspan and joint size are now measured and analyzed very carefully by NFL scouts.

* Not only are the best ten to fifteen QBs in the game white, so too are a majority of the best TEs (Gronk, Witten, Miller, Ertz) and slot receivers (Welker, Edelman, Beasley). The fastest receiver, and maybe one of the fastest players in the league is a white guy from Kansas (Jordy Nelson, Green Bay).

But the best player in the game, and should-be winner of this year’s MVP award is JJ Watt, who plays a position normally dominated by black guys (defensive end), and dominates it.

* If any professional sport in the U.S was predominantly Jewish, it would be the sport with the least amount of players who go broke after retiring.

On average nobody is better than the Jews when it comes to delaying instant gratification in regards to money. Jews with poor impulse control regarding their own personal money is about as common as Blacks who have light eyes, meaning not very common.

* You see very few if any marginal white players at the typically black “skill” positions. Jordy Nelson and Eric Decker are the only two white “deep threat” receivers in the NFL. Nelson is one of the 3 or 4 best wideouts in the game and has been elite on a consistent basis for many seasons now. Decker is not among the first tier receivers but certainly makes the top 15. On the other hand, there are 40 to 50 completely anonymous, mediocre black receivers in the league.

If whites are so unsuited to playing wide receiver, you’d expect the only white guys good enough to make it as a pro to linger in the fringes, barely hacking it in the league. Yet the opposite is true: there are no mediocre white wide receivers, only stars. This certainly seems to imply that there is discrimination against whites at the wide receiver position: in order to make it as far as the NFL, a white dude doesn’t have to merely be as good as the average black dude who made it that far: he has to be far superior.

Or look at defensive end. We currently have JJ Watt, Jared Allen (at the end of his rope but had an amazingly productive career) , Connor Barwin, Paul Kruger, and that’s more or less it. All of those guys are to a greater or lesser degree superior to your average (ie black) NFL defensive end. Where is the mediocre (by NFL standards) white defensive end? Between getting a scholarship at a top college program and getting invited to the NFL combine, he never even sniffed getting a chance to play in the NFL, whereas many black athletes of similar talent are playing as we speak.

* The 2014 All-Pro teams were just released…

Fully 15 of the 26 first and second team offensive players are white, with 8 of 29 (if you count Watt twice, he made 2nd team as defensive tackle as well) defensive first and second teamers are white.

Assuming these are the 55 best players in football, then 41.8% of the best players are white (23/55) in a league which is 27.7% white overall. This would tend to confirm your theory. (If Watt is counted once, then 22/54 is 40.7%–still much higher than league average).

However part of the reason why blacks make up a higher percentage than they might otherwise has to do with the positions black players tend to play vs. whites. Take a typical white position–kicker. On a 53 man active roster, normally a team will only carry one place kicker and one punter (who often doubles as the holder–another position whites are overrepresented at). A typical black position–say defensive back–may have ten active players (like the Dallas Cowboys’ roster does) even though only four start. The attrition difference between typically white and black positions skews the numbers, meaning that although over 2/3 of NFLers are black, they don’t contribute to 2/3 of the value of a typical NFL team.

* Donovan McNabb also lacked the fire in the belly that all the truly great QBs have. There is an (in) famous clip of him laughing on the sidelines just after he threw a drive-ending interception in a playoff game that I think they eventually lost. No way would you ever see Montana, Brady, Elway, or Manning do that. They hate to lose.

* Russell Wilson divorced his wife because he caught her having an affair with his best friend Golden Tate. Golden Tate was then traded to Detroit Lions and Russell divorced his wife. She should have waited until Wilson signed the mega-contract to have an affair. Now she just gets only part of $500,00 a year salary. She could have been set for life if she waited a year.

Jews Must Live

Posted on January 3, 2015 by Luke Ford

In Genesis 47:29-30, this past week’s Torah portion and the final Torah portion from the Book of Genesis: “When Jacob’s death drew near, he called his son Joseph and asked him to put his hand under Jacob’s thigh and swear not to bury him in Egypt, but to bury him with his father and grandfather.”

The point of this is that no matter how comfortable the Jews were in Egypt, no matter how many generations they lived there, they were not Egyptians but Jews. Jacob wanted to remind Joseph and company that they would never be Egyptians, they would never be anything but Jews, no matter where they dwelt and pastured their flocks.

No matter how many generations Jews live in America, from this perspective, we are not Americans, we are Jews, we have our own way of life, and we are just passing through. Like our ancestors Abraham, Jacob and Joseph, we may pasture our flocks in non-Jewish lands, we may take up residency in foreign lands, we may make money off the goyim, but we will never have any identity more important than our Jewish identity. We can pasture our flocks in America but we will never be American.

Our first identity is Jewish. Our second identity is Jewish. Our third identity is Jewish. Our final identity is Jewish. Our loyalties are to the Jewish way of life. We may be residents of the United States or Canada or Australia or France or Russia, but we are not Americans nor Canadians nor Australians nor French nor Russians. We are Jews. We are only citizens of non-Jewish lands in some technical sense of the term “citizen.”

Therefore, we dress distinctively, no matter how unpopular this makes us with the goyim. When it comes time for us to daven mincha, we daven mincha loudly and proudly. We don’t retreat to a quiet corner to fulfil our Jewish obligations.

The non-Jews may resent this. So be it. The Pharoah who knew not Joseph saw the Jews as a Fifth Column in his midst and so he set about to persecute them lest they take over. The Nazis did the same thing. Yet the people Israel live.

A Jewish friend responds:

This makes no sense biologically. Our first identity is human. Our second group should be whichever larger human family (or families) our tribe belongs to. We can debate on whom that extends to, but it certainly should extend a lot further and wider than just Jews. Of course, it helps keep your in-group in-line when you don’t acknowledge any out-group as even human. Other semitic groups draw such lines. L’havdil, look at ISIS. More similarly, look at comparable smaller semitic groups outside of proper Islam.
Of course, if we accept biological reality, that our tribe is no more than 5775 years old, and we share much of our essence with semitic and European peoples, it does somehow make the case against marrying the hot Asian girl a little less dramatic or convincing. Especially when we have so many genetic diseases when we marry our own.

Another Jewish friend says: “Is a Jewish quarterback’s loyalty to his team or to the Jewish people? May a Jewish athlete compete for any country other than Israel in the Olympics? How does the leading conservative columnist David Brooks reconcile that his own son enlisted in the Isaeli army?”

Now, if we were to take the non-Jews’ perspective for a minute, we may well see the Jews, if they believed and behaved as outlined above, as a Fifth Column in their midst. A patient non-Jew might inquire as to the Torah’s directives for the Jewish state of Israel. How would the Torah instruct Jews to behave towards a Fifth Column in their midst? I am no master of Torah, but I sense that the Torah would not be thrilled with non-Jews living in Israel whose identity is foreign to Jewish identity.

Wikipedia notes: “Kahane’s legislative proposals focused on transferring the Arab population out from the Land of Israel, revoking Israeli citizenship from non-Jews, and banning Jewish-Gentile marriages and sexual relations, based on the Code of Jewish Law compiled by Maimonides in the Mishneh Torah.”

So let’s say non-Jews in the United States adopted a policy towards Jews in their midst identical to the Code of Jewish Law compiled by Maimonides in the Mishneh Torah as applied to non-Jews in the land of Israel. I guess that would mean prohibiting sexual relations between non-Jews and Jews and prohibiting citizenship to Jews.

As harsh and realistic as that sounds, it might have some good effects on non-Jews and Jews. For non-Jews, it would mean more control of their nation and more ability to shape it in their image. For Jews it would mean a distinct and separate identity with less inter-marriage and less assimilation.

Why would any nation want a separate nation in it, a nation that feels no loyalty or solidarity with the host state? This analysis is not applicable to most American Jews who are generally married to non-Jews and feel far more loyalty to America than they do to the Jewish state. Jews who are strong Zionists tend to move to Israel.

Chaim Amalek: “Were you to attend a reform, reconstructionist, conservative, or Modern Orthodox temple, you would be much less likely to encounter such [traditional exclusive Jewish] sentiments. To put this another way, as the Hasidic rabbinate sees things, the central task of the Torah rabbi is to isolate his flock from the goyim so that he may control them. Separate dietary customs, separate clothing, separate language, etc.”

“Goyim! Most of what you dislike about the Jews is the work of secular Jews. You may dislike the Torah Jew, but you can spot him from a mile off and need not imagine that he likes you.”

“All of you worried about the outsized influence of the Jews in America needn’t. The Jews who are capable of such influence are in fast decline, being replaced by ultraorthodox Jews who are very very conservative (much more than you) and utterly incapable of influencing anything except perhaps a local election where they have the numbers. Consider post-Jewish world’s such as exist in much of Europe, where the local WASP elites went flaccid decades ago and abandoned border control You really cannot blame the handful of Jews in say, Sweden for all the Muslims there now.”

Christoph Donnellan:

Jews must either assimilate completely or leave and go to Israel. There can be no middle ground nor can we tolerate a nation within a nation. Assimilate or leave, Hebrews!
Someone said, I forget whom, that within Western culture, Jews are both ‘stimulant and a corrosive.’
The problem here, is, many Jews seem to want to have their cake and eat it, too. Maintain their separate tribal/religious identity while retaining full citizenship and participation in society. This is unsustainable though over the long term.
Jews are a brilliant and accomplished people to be sure, but also in some respects, terribly subversive. Many Jews seek to subvert and destroy the host culture of their respective societies. This is what accounts for ‘anti-Semitism’ more than any other factor. The principal cause of anti-Semitism is competition between Jews and Gentiles, and the feeling among Jews that they are a separate people, while at the same time, claiming full citizenship and rights in the larger society. There is also the problem of double standards, one for Jews and one for non-Jews.
