Los Angeles Times Puff Piece On Hilary Helstein And The Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival

As I wrote in 2012, Hilary Helstein is a disgrace who rejected a film about rabbinic sex abuse because Jews revere their rabbis and then actively campaigned against the film to stop it screening at other festivals.

Susan King writes for the Los Angeles Times:

The Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival, which opens Thursday and runs for a week, is a labor of love for its director, Hilary Helstein, a filmmaker who directed the 2009 documentary “As Seen Through These Eyes.”
“There’s so much that goes into putting on a program like this,” said Helstein. “L.A. is a tough place to compete, because there is so much competition with cultural events and film festivals. There is also a tremendous amount of competition in the Jewish community with cultural events that are happening at the Skirball or the Museum of Tolerance. So to be unique and have something new and different that has never been seen before is always a challenge for me.”
Helstein travels to film festivals, attends the American Film Market and meets with distributors to find films, in addition to soliciting filmmakers for submissions and talking to directors of other major Jewish film festivals in such cities as Toronto and San Diego.

Stephen Steinlight Is Our 21st Century Yochanan Ben Zakkai

Wikipedia says: “The First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE)… was the first of three major rebellions by the Jews of Judea Province (Iudaea) against the Roman Empire. The second was the Kitos War in 115–117, and the third was Bar Kokhba’s revolt of 132–135.”

The Jews lost all three of these suicidal revolts against the Roman empire, but one great thing came out of the first revolt. According to Jewish legend, as narrated by Wikipedia:

During the siege of Jerusalem in the Great Jewish Revolt, he argued in favour of peace; according to the Talmud, when he found the anger of the besieged populace to be intolerable, he arranged a secret escape from the city inside a coffin, so that he could negotiate with Vespasian (who, at this time, was still just a military commander).[6][7] Yochanan correctly predicted that Vespasian would become Emperor, and that the temple would soon be destroyed; in return, Vespasian granted Yochanan three wishes: the salvation of Yavne and its sages, the descendants of Rabban Gamliel, who was of the Davidic dynasty, and a physician to treat Rabbi Tzadok, who had fasted for 40 years to stave off the destruction of Jerusalem.[8]

Upon the destruction of Jerusalem, Jochanan converted his school at Yavne into the Jewish religious centre, insisting that certain privileges, given by Jewish law uniquely to Jerusalem, should be transferred to Yavne.[9] His school functioned as a re-establishment of the Sanhedrin, so that Judaism could decide how to deal with the loss of the sacrificial altars of the temple in Jerusalem, and other pertinent questions. Referring to a passage in the Book of Hosea, “I desired mercy, and not sacrifice”,[10] he helped persuade the council to replace animal sacrifice with prayer,[11] a practice that continues in today’s worship services; eventually Rabbinic Judaism emerged from the council’s conclusions.

Chaim Amalek says about American Jews: “We have one big thing going for us that the Jews in Weimar Germany did not. The German Jews were up against a nation that was 100% white, and with it, the possibilities of cohesive action that only racial uniformity permit. But in this country at this time the whites are what, 55% and declining? It is like gunpowder. 100% pure is a problem and difficult for Yidden to handle. But when we dilute it 40% with impurities, it is safe for us to handle and we can sell it to others.”

Steinlight is way smarter and way wiser than any other Jew in power in America (so smart that William Pierce did a speech about Steinlight) and organized Jewry has essentially put him in cherem.

Steinlight tried to point out the dangers of immigration in a kosher way. He triangulated the immigration issue. On the one hand, he said the nativists were terrible, a bunch of racists and racism is horrible. On the other hand, we have to cut back on immigration.

Steinlight and Kevin MacDonald have argued passionately. Steinlight sees MacDonald as someone who doesn’t like Jews and he won’t go past that. Most Jews won’t truck with anyone who dislikes Jews.

The hardline white nationlists hate Stephen Steinlight because they fear that he could prevent meltdown and that he could broker some kind of deal between the Jews and the goyim. If Steinlight’s ilk directed Jewish influence and power, then the greater society (as well as the Jews) would be better off and there would be less chance of a genocidal convulsion.

Moderate white nationalists such as VDARE and Jared Taylor and the American Renaissance crowd would rather not go hardcore and genocidal to create a white America. They’d rather make deals with Stephen Steinlights. Smart Jews would give Jared Taylor and Peter Brimelow and Steve Sailer and the paleoconservatives (Paul Gottfried etc) everything they want including freedom of association (freedom to live among your own and to employ your own with as much discrimination as you wish, the establishment of white-only enclaves if that’s what they want, white businesses, cities, etc). If the goyim want to have Christmas trees up in public spaces, let them have their Christmas trees up.

Hardline white nationalists want a breakdown of society and the establishment of a white country, with all the Jews dead and all the non-whites expelled or dead. The analogy in Jewish life is that the main threat to Chareidi Judaism is Modern Orthodoxy. Reform and Conservative Judaism are no threat because they don’t perpetuate themselves. They’re dying out. They don’t work.

The Jewish Culture of Critique

Chaim Amalek says: “We have one big thing going for us that the Jews in Weimar Germany did not. The German Jews were up against a nation that was 100% white, and with it, the possibilities of cohesive action that only racial uniformity permit. But in this country at this time the whites are what, 55% and declining? It is like gunpowder. 100% pure is a problem and difficult for Yidden to handle. But when we dilute it 40% with impurities, it is safe for us to handle and we can sell it to others.”

William Pierce critiqued Stephen Steinlight in 2001.

Pierce says that the Jewish concern with immigration is solely a concern over Jewish power.

“Jews use interfaith dialogue to vitiate Christianity and to turn Christian churches into lapdogs.”

Stephen Steinlight wrote in 2001: “For perhaps another generation, an optimistic forecast, the Jewish community is thus in a position where it will be able to divide and conquer and enter into selective coalitions that support our agendas.”

“That America has largely tolerated this dual loyalty — we get a free pass, I suspect, largely over Christian guilt about the Holocaust — makes it no less a reality.”

“The special problem of large-scale Muslim immigration to the United States derives primarily from the worldwide ascent of Islamism (often referred to as “fundamentalism” and increasingly “Jihadism”), a totalitarian political ideology with strong theocratic and fascistic elements that is proving enormously compelling to millions of Muslims across the globe. It is without a doubt the most powerful ideological force in the Islamic world, including among Muslims in the United States. Islamism is profoundly hostile to pluralism, religious tolerance, democracy, secular civil society, Jews, Zionism, Israel, and to the United States, “the Great Satan.” It is a movement that festers and spreads in the impoverished conditions within corrupt regimes, often in response to the venality, inhumanity, and tyranny of local “secular” regimes. It expresses itself through violent populist agitation, intolerant religiosity, irrational atavistic values, misogyny, large-scale terrorism, resentment toward and hatred of everything perceived as “foreign,” and pie-in-the-sky theology.”

Privately [American Jewish leaders] express grave concern that unregulated immigration will prove ruinous to American Jewry, as it has for French Jewry, and will for Jews throughout Western Europe. There’s particular fear about the impact on Jewish security, as well as American support for Israel, of the rapid growth of the Muslim population. At the conclusion of meetings with national leaders, several told me, ‘You’re 1000 percent right, but I can’t go out and say it yet.’”

“I confess that I suspect that MTV, for better of for worse, will prove more powerful with young Muslim immigrants than the mullahs, and that the remarkable material and cultural attractiveness of American life will cause the new immigrants to follow (mostly) in the footsteps of their predecessors.”

William Pierce: “What is that if not gloating over his fellow Jews powers to capture and control the minds of non-Jews, even to wean young Muslims away from their religion, away from the influence and guidance of their own spiritual leaders, through the Jews control of the media… The whole aim of MTV propaganda is to multi-culturalize young Americans to cut them loose from their own racial, cultural and religious roots, and make rootless cosmopolitans of them with no sense of racial identity or loyalty.”

Franklin Ryckaert said:

What [Stephen] Steinlight says or thinks is the following:
1) We Jews in the US have become a privileged group.
2) We thought we could strengthen our position by weakening the white majority by the promotion of mass non-white immigration.
3) But it appears that those non-Whites cannot be so easily manipulated by Holocaust-guilt as the white Christians. Therefore they might become a danger to us.
4) We must therefore reduce non-white immigration.
5) We should not let white Christians take the initiative in this immigration reduction, because they could become hostile to us.
6)Non-white immigration should be reduced (by us) but not entirely stopped so that the door would always be open for persecuted Jews elsewhere in the world.

In this whole story there is only talk about “what is good for the Jews”, though it must be said Steinlight’s ideas are far less destructive than those of his other co-ethnics who still want to destroy America by mass non-white immigration.

Barbara Lerner Spectre runs a government-funded Jewish study group in Sweden. She says:

I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.

Israel, however, does just great as a highly nationalistic ethno-nation.

Charles Silberman said:

“American Jews are committed to cultural tolerance because of their belief, one firmly rooted in history, that Jews are safe only in a society acceptant of a wide range of attitudes and behaviours, as well as a diversity of religious and ethnic groups. It is this belief, for example, not approval of homosexuality, that leads an overwhelming majority of American Jews to endorse “gay rights” and to take a liberal stance on most other so-called “social issues.” [23]

Earl Raab, executive director emeritus of the Perlmutter Institute of Jewish Advocacy, said:

“It was only after World War II that immigration law was drastically changed to eliminate such discrimination. In one of the first pieces of evidence of its political coming-of-age, the Jewish community has a leadership role in effecting these changes.” [24]

Raab wants whites to be a minority in America:

“The Census Bureau has just reported that about half of the American population will soon be non-white or non-European. And they will all be American citizens. We have tipped beyond the point where a Nazi-Aryan party will be able to prevail in this country. We have been nourishing the American climate of opposition to ethnic bigotry for about half a century. That climate has not yet been perfected, but the heterogeneous nature of our population tends to make our constitutional constraints against bigotry more practical than ever.”

Miriam Faine wrote in the magazine Australian Jewish Democrat:

“The organized Jewish community, if on nothing else, agrees on ‘Strict rules regarding intermarriage’. We need to remind ourselves that the apostles of a mono-cultural Australia still see this as a threat, as indeed do large sections of the dominant culture. Therefore we should make it our business to strike common cause with other non-Anglo ethnic groups to promote multicultural Australia. With the demise of Zionism as a doctrine of hope and national fulfilment, and with growing secularisation on the one hand and religious revisionism on the other, it is precisely such a multi-cultural society which would give space for Australian Jews to fulfil their hopes for the continuation of the community. The strengthening of multi-cultural or diverse Australia is also our most effective insurance policy against anti-Semitism. The day Australia has a Chinese Australian Governor General I would feel more confident of my freedom to live as a Jewish Australian”. [27]

Michael Gawenda said:

“Let me be blunt. If you are really in favour of multiculturalism, then Australian Jewry is an outstanding example of an ethnic group that has a ‘Jewish’ agenda that somehow does not coincide with what is in the best interests of ‘all Australians’. Often, the way the media portrays the Jewish community will depend on where the journalist doing the portraying stands on multiculturalism. My belief is that while many journalists say they are in favour of a multicultural Australia, deep down, almost unconsciously, they have doubts and fears about such an Australia. This is not surprising. Multiculturalism is not just about eating sushi and watching foreign movies on SBS. It is about accepting that Australia will be transformed both racially and culturally, over the medium and the long-term. That can be frightening.”

Philip Mendes summarized the political views of Australian Jews:

“Most Jews agree with conservative views on matters of economics and taxation and the Australian-US alliance. But their main politics are not universalistic – that is, they are focused on specific Jewish concerns such as Israel and anti-Semitism – and they are generally not interested in traditional conservative concerns such as the monarchy, abortion, the traditional family and so on. Jews also tend to be surprisingly liberal on social issues. They don’t share socially conservative views on drugs, feminism, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, refugees and Aborigines. In many cases those same Jews who support Ariel Sharon and denounce Arab terrorism are passionate supporters of asylum seekers and are supportive of an apology to the Stolen Generation. This comes through particularly in letters to the Australian Jewish News.”

Betty Luks wrote: “The Jewish lobby in Australia has been at the vanguard of those seeking racial vilification legislation in Australia. This legislation was obtained, but lobbying continues to further tighten it. The present of racial vilification legislation was given to the Jewish lobby by the Keating Labor government; Keating promised this legislation in a speech given on 28 May 1994 to the 36th Biennial Conference of the Zionist Federation of Australia.
In 1966 Australia signed the United Nations Covenant to ban all forms of racial discrimination, at the same time, the White Australia Policy was being deceptively abandoned. The Whitlam government passed the Commonwealth Racial Discrimination Act in 1975. The Act was in part modelled on race hate laws in the United States, many of which have been struck down for being unconstitutional on First Amendment, freedom of speech grounds. Thus, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that a legislature cannot criminalise “bigoted” thought with which it disagrees.
In Victoria the Jewish lobby campaigned for race hate legislation for many years, and the ALP ultimately pushed the race hate bill through parliament to gain Jewish votes for the State and Federal elections. [35] In March 1993, Isi Liebler a Jewish community leader said: “We consider [the racial vilification legislation] the most important Jewish issue of domestic concern over the next 12 months.”

Chaim Amalek: “If the AllMighty wanted white people to have their own countries, he would have given them the brains to defend them.”

Changing The Immutable: How Orthodox Judaism Rewrites Its History

This book by professor Marc B. Shapiro comes out in September:

A consideration of how segments of Orthodox society rewrite the past by eliminating that which does not fit in with their contemporary world-view. This wide-ranging and original review of how this policy is applied in practice adds a new perspective to Jewish intellectual history and to the understanding of the contemporary Jewish world.

Changing the Immutable focuses on how segments of Orthodox society have taken upon themselves to rewrite the past, by covering up and literally cutting out that which does not fit in with their contemporary world-view. For reasons ranging from theological considerations to internal religious politics to changing religious standards, such Jewish self-censorship abounds, and Marc Shapiro discusses examples from each category, In a number of cases the original text is shown alongside how it looked after it was censored, together with an explanation of what made the text problematic and how the issue was resolved.

The author considers how some Orthodox historiography sees truth as entirely instrumental.

Drawing on the words of the great rabbis, particularly from the haredi world, he shows that what is important is not historical truth, but a ‘truth’ that leads to observance and faith in the sages. He concludes with a discussion of the concept of truth in the Jewish tradition, and when this truth can be altered.

Changing the Immutable also reflects on the paradox of a society that regards itself as traditional, but at the same time is uncomfortable with much of the inherited tradition and thus feels the need to create an idealized view of the past. It considers this practice in context, showing the precedents for this in Jewish history dating back to talmudic times.

Since the subjects of censorship have included such figures as Maimonides, Bahya ibn Pakuda, Rashi, Naphtali Herz Wessely, Moses Mendelssohn, the Hatam Sofer, Samson Raphael Hirsch, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, A. I. Kook, and J. B. Soloveitchik, as well as issues such as Zionism, biblical interpretation, and attitudes to women and gentiles, Changing the Immutable also serves as a study in Jewish intellectual history and how the ideas of one era do not always find favour with future generations.

Was This The First American Renaissance Conference Without A Jewish Speaker?

At the first American Renaissance conference (a gathering of white nationalists who did not appear bent on genocide) in 1994, there was kosher food and Rabbi Mayer Schiller, accompanied by many of his yeshiva students, spoke. As the years have gone by, there’s always been at least one Jewish speaker at the conference. This year’s meeting was April 26 and 27, and I don’t think any of these speakers were Jewish (though I am sure some of the 150-person crowd was).

American Renaissance Conference Speakers 2014

Do you see any Jews?

The head of American Renaissance, the Southern goy Jared Taylor, is famously Jew-friendly. I wonder if he will ever give up on Jews joining his anti-immigration cause and turn against the Jews? For now, he doesn’t want to fight a two-front war against immigration and against the Jews. He would prefer for Jews to rally to his side.

Apocalypse Now! Could The United States Collapse Tomorrow And Another Holocaust Come Our Way?

I’d love to hear how you think the United States could suddenly collapse. I hope this doesn’t happen but it might.

I’ve had a sense for more than two decades that we are living in an era akin to Weimar Germany and that the United States of America as we know it could come to a sudden crashing halt just as German democracy ended in 1933 with dictatorship and a reign of terror.

What are the scenarios?

* The most likely one is a collapse of our currency as we lose the ability to make payments on our debts and China gives up on us.
* Another possibility is a military coup.
* Another possibility is that the Cliven Bundy militia movement grows and these white guys with guns take back the country and turn America into a white country with some non-whites, including Jews, allowed to stay on as guests providing they follow the new rules (which include not acting against white interests).
* Another possibility is that the Chinese, with their superior intelligence, figure out our weaknesses and exploit them before we can protect ourselves.

The two most likely groups to take control of America are the Chinese communists from abroad or the white nationalists from within.

If the Chinese take over, I don’t think they’d have genocidal intentions towards the Jews.

Let’s say the white guys with guns — now that there are more non-whites born every day in America than whites, the white nationalists are increasingly hardcore — take control of America and decide to make it a white country with forceful expulsion of non-whites (except for a privileged few allowed to stay as guests), and genocide against those who refuse to go.

I suspect that the majority of those who call themselves “nationalists” may be bent on genocide. I don’t see inherently why “white nationalist” has to be any more incendiary a term than “Jewish nationalist” or “black nationalist” (which most blacks are) or “latino nationalist” (La Raza et al), but maybe it just is, no matter the logic. I think I need a better term than “white nationalist” to denote someone who believes that whites should organize in their group interest just like all other groups (women, blacks, Chinese, latinos, Jews, gays, etc) and does not seek anything for whites that he does not also wish for other groups (the attitude of Jared Taylor). There’s got to be some benign term to describe how all groups should organize in their self-interest, including whites, because we are all genetically programmed to prefer our own kind (as evidence by the way almost everybody segregates themselves by race in their housing choices, social choices and worship choices). Perhaps white advocate?

You are probably saying, “Luke, there’s a history of violent, scary criminals calling themselves white nationalists and murdering people.” Well, Jewish nationalists did scary terrorism such as blowing up the King David hotel to establish the modern state of Israel. The founders of the United States murdered people to create this nation. All nations have been formed from massive bloodshed. I come from Australia and we had to seize the country by force from the Aboriginees. The use of violence is not inherently immoral.

You can tell whether or not a nationalist is genocidal, I think, by whether or not they deride the Holocaust. That’s a pretty good tip-off of their intentions.

Like most traditional Jews I know, I am a Jewish nationalist. I wake up thinking about Jews, during the day I talk about Jews, and I go to bed thinking about Jews. We want the Arabs to leave Israel by any means necessary, preferably without bloodshed. So I guess all nationalisms carry a stench or a whiff of genocide? Half the Orthodox Jews I know supported Baruch Goldstein’s massacre of Arabs and they support Meir Kahane’s approach to the Arabs.

If America falls apart, Jews will be the first ones with their heads on the chopping block. That’s usually what happens when advanced societies convulse. The new leaders see the Jews as their primary threat and they move to neutralize them. Hitler at first wanted to expel the Jews and assist them in making Israel their country but other countries wouldn’t cooperate by taking Jews in so he moved on to concentration camps and genocide as the Final Solution to the Jewish question.

Chaim Amalek: “More likely: Collapse as a polity the way the USSR collapsed, with some large block declaring that it is going its own way, the public be damned. Imagine Mexifornia electing a Mexican as governor who declares California to be part of Mexico.”

Michael Fumento: “A lot of people are rightfully fearful of a slow collapse, or a disintegration both economically and socially. In part, I think, because that’s what’s happening. Just watching Facebook I see more and more people who can no longer keep themselves in denial that somehow magically things will turn around.”

Friend 1: “There are about 3000 white nationalists in America. There are more Amish, Scientologists, more outlaw bikers, more in the Nation of Islam, more radical Muslims…”

Friend 2: “If US goes to pieces, some pieces will be more white than others.”

Friend 3: “White guys with guns? Jews slaughtered in America? This guy spends way too much time on the Internet. If America falls, none of his expected scenarios have any chance of happening. The Jews are in cities, where the blacks have all the guns.”

Friend 4: “Vdare has been begging for donations every few months going so far as to shut down the site if the goal is not hit. These billionaires are not giving more than a few grand at most. This is totally delusional. Compare to a minor operation in the leftist empire like Media Matters. Doesn’t matter, choose whichever organization you wish to. Compare web design, slickness of operations, and lack of begging.”

An increasing number of my friends are looking for a place to flee if the United States collapses.

Hesh: “Or it could be economic, like the collapse of the dollar. The resulting panic would cause many to seek scapegoats. And the presence of Jews as the last three Fed chairman provides all the needed pretext.”

Chaim Amalek: “This is why it is so vitally important to Jewish interests that we have the right boys in Hollywood to keep the goyim entertained as their barrel flies over the cliff.”

Is Snowpiercer a good movie?

Chaim Amalek: “If it keeps the goyim thinking about nareshkeit, it is a good movie.”

“We have one big thing going for us that the Jews in Weimar Germany did not. The German Jews were up against a nation that was 100% white, and with it, the possibilities of cohesive action that only racial uniformity permit. But in this country at this time the whites are what, 55% and declining? It is like gunpowder. 100% pure is a problem and difficult for Yidden to handle. But when we dilute it 40% with impurities, it is safe for us to handle and we can sell it to others.”

Yidden need to begin colonizing China the way we did Europe long ago. Even Torah Jews should learn to enjoy rice. We gotta housetrain the Chinese to be as amenable to Jews as WASPs.

John Derbyshire wrote “that “given enough advance warning, I can probably get my own wife and kids out to the comparative sanity and freedom of China.”

He wrote: “The thought came upon me, as it has done quite a lot this past few years, that I shall likely end up in a labor camp. I can’t keep my mouth shut; I can’t clap along with the Kumbaya; and I can’t pretend assent to propositions that seem to me to be false. In the world we are fast heading into, that makes me camp fodder for sure.”

“Leaving aside the intended malice, I actually think “White Supremacist” is not bad semantically. White supremacy, in the sense of a society in which key decisions are made by white Europeans, is one of the better arrangements History has come up with. There have of course been some blots on the record, but I don’t see how it can be denied that net-net, white Europeans have made a better job of running fair and stable societies than has any other group.”

Is Donald Sterling A Racist?

Everyone seems to take it for granted that Donald Sterling is a racist. I am not so sure.

I listened to the nine minute clip played on TMZ.

That does not sound racist to me. He says nothing about blacks being inferior to whites. He doesn’t want his mistress showing off with them. Sterling sounds to me like an insecure old man. I didn’t hear any hate from him. He wants his girlfriend to give off the vibe that she’s loyal to him.

I went out of my head when my girlfriends flirted with other guys. If they had posted to Instagram the pictures Sterling’s mistress posted (with Magic Johnson and with Matt Kemp), I would’ve gotten calls too and I would have felt threatened.

I have no doubt that like most landlords, Sterling would rather not rent to blacks. That is a rational economic decision because blacks have the worst credit ratings of the races and they have the highest rate of criminal behavior. They are the most outgoing of the races and they have more parties and more loud social behavior than quieter types such as Koreans. If you live with blacks, you’ll notice that they are more likely to yell and to play music loudly and to do other things that most asians, whites and latinos do not like.

David Geffen Wants To Buy The Clippers

Magic Johnson wants to buy the Clippers.

Are either of these men better than Donald Sterling? How many people did Magic Johnson kill with his AIDS? I doubt Sterling did anything this evil.

Geffen wanted to buy the Los Angeles Times at one time. I couldn’t believe how Times journalists fawned over him. They wanted rescue.

Geffen has as at least as morally mixed a record as Donald Sterling. Frankly, I would much prefer Sterling as an owner. Sterling ran apartments solely for Koreans. That seems healthy to me. Koreans, generally speaking, are great tenants and law-abiding productive citizens, even more so than whites. In the Los Angeles Riots of 1992, Korean merchants were the ones under criminal assault and left to fend for themselves.

Steve Sailer writes: “From Malaysia, President Obama took time out to upbraid the ‘ignorance’ that Sterling displayed during his illegally recorded private conversation. Still, there remains the theoretical possibility that the octogenarian real estate billionaire isn’t wholly ignorant about what his Korean customers are looking for. The news videos above and below are from Koreatown in April 1992.”

I Love Role-Playing Games

When I’ve had girlfriends, we’d sometimes pretend to be somebody else in some weird situation with a dramatic power disparity. In these games, I got to pretend to be very powerful. Sometimes, we invoked certain gender and ethnic stereotypes to up the ante.

If our interactions were taped and played on the internet, my standing as a moral leader would be sorely diminished. I have not always spoken in private in ways that made me look good. I’ve gotten particularly unhinged over my girlfriends flirting with other guys. I’ve gone right round the bend at times. I’ve said and written in emails really stupid and embarrassing things. I’ve even blogged them.

So I think it is outrageous that Donald Sterling has been punished for things he said in private to his mistress. Who hasn’t said horrible things in private?

Does the protection we give to private conversations depend upon what is said in them and who says it? If a person gives unPC views, then it is cool to dump on them for things said privately? Does protection depend upon how much sympathy we have for the person? So if we make up our minds the person is bad, then when can say anything about them?

From listening to the tape, I got the idea that Donald Sterling considers Magic Johnson a friend. He just doesn’t want his girlfriend mixing it up with him.

Most Americans who follow basketball will acknowledge that blacks are better at basketball than other races. Attributing this superiority to blacks is not considered racist by most ordinary people (as opposed to elites). Isn’t it obvious that the races have different gifts? Together we make up the complete image of God.

Visceral Jew-Haters Disturb Me

I had no problem interviewing academic Kevin MacDonald. I received no hostile vibe from him against Jews, but many parts of the web are just viscerally anti-Jews. They want to wipe us out. Sometimes I can study this material and try to understand what is going on, but most of the time, I can’t stomach it. I just want to run away and hide.

I think that is generally true for most people. They can pull themselves together to mix with the different, even those who hate them, when it is necessary for business, but generally speaking, we prefer our own and 98% of us segregate ourselves and go to houses of worship filled with people like us.
