* The Princeton Offense was the same as the offense used in the film Hoosiers whenever the Hoosiers didn’t have star Jimmy Chitwood on the floor: pass-pass-pass until the shot clock was down to 2 seconds and then have the best free shooter take the shot. The point was to whittle the game clock down and slow the pace down so your team didn’t get run ragged by a leaping, jumping, hard-sprinting team with fast breaks.
Basically, the strategy is for teams with less athletic players who are disciplined enough to follow orders and not selfish. In other words, it’s a strategy for non-blacks who are tall and willing to work hard.
* Did you ever hear the story of what happened to Mullin as a rookie with the Warriors in ’85? He had a habit of working on his jumper 2-3 hrs. before a game. One of the black starters told him, “don’t do that anymore, man, it makes the rest of us look bad.” Naturally, the sportswriter who related the story didn’t mention a name. My money’s on Joe Barry Carroll.
* David Stern has retired. Another Jew, Adam Silver, has taken control.
Surprised?
Coincidence?
* Sports fans ARE crazy.
Everything else in America is fixed. Politics, college admittances, diet/nutrition scams, fake meritocracy everywhere, cartel prices across the board for everyday items, pseudo-science global warming, all government data, all Wall Street data etc. It’s all fudged.
But the sports fans still think the big games (hundreds of millions on the line) are real.
Wake up!
* I thought at the time that the NBA missed an opportunity with Lin. They should have encouraged the Knicks to keep him in New York and to build a team around him, ideally one that was more diverse than typical. One of the interesting things about the NBA in the 1980s was that it had a mostly white team in the Celtics; why not make the Knicks at least a mostly non-black team? Imagine if they had brought in the Israeli player along with Lin and maybe Kevin Love… that could have been a boon for the NBA. Heck, my mother started watching the Knicks during Linsanity. She hasn’t watched basketball since.
* The immigrant groups in Los Angeles who have the lowest rate of residential segregation from White Americans is Armenians and Persians. If you use the extremely broad definition of “Asian”, than I guess you could use them as examples of “Asians” who integrate well with Whites. Not many Persians and Armenians are moving to The San Gabriel Valley.
* Has anyone ever pointed out that the economics concept of “comparative advantage” applies to sports?
For example, let’s assume that blacks had the exact same natural pitching ability as whites, but have somewhat greater natural ability to steal bases and run down fly balls in the outfield. Then blacks would have an absolute advantage at playing the outfield, but whites would have a comparative advantage at pitching, because there would be less demand for their outfielding skills.
Or lets assume that blacks have the exact same natural ability as whites at playing baseball, but MUCH greater natural ability than whites, on average, at basketball and football. Whites would then have a comparative advantage for baseball, because their skills in other sports are less in demand.
In those cases, there would be no reason to expect baseball to have the same proportion of blacks as the general population, nor for pitching to have the same proportion of blacks as baseball on the whole.
* Let’s cut to the chase here: the love and passion for Everything is passed from father to son. Work habits, sports, attitudes, hobbies, it all comes from Dad, both good and bad. If he’s absent then the son has to scramble to figure out who he really is and what his calling in life should be. With Dad around it’s much easier on the boy. It’s also much easier for Mom to understand her son.
When I hear people making excuses for single motherhood I can only shake my head. Just today a man in his 60′s was telling me about his own father. That influence and relationship goes on forever.
Comment: White-Asian intermarriage in The U.S is vastly decreasing.
Leftists plans for more racial miscegenation through mass immigration and open borders has backfired. It has actually resulted in less racial miscegenation. The more Asians are imported into The U.S, the less they racially mix with Whites.
If you step foot in New York City or California, White/Asian couples are not really common. Hollywood films greatly overexaggerate the frequency of such couples. It doesn’t match reality.
If you are out & about in the streets of NYC, S.F, S.D, Sactown, L.A, etc you can easily go an entire day without seeing a single Asian/White couple. There is no guarantee you will see at least 1 Asian/White couple before the day is over. Even Steve Sailer a native Angeleno can confirm what I say. It’s common to go 48 or 72 hours without seeing such couples on the streets.
* Because of slavery’s demographics, since reconstruction and the 15th amendment, whites in the South live in a politically precarious position. If they want to conserve their race, culture–basically any hold on civilization–they must be politically organized enough to block black rule. First they did this with Jim Crow era vote suppression and “the Solid South”. After the Voting Rights Act they simply *had* to vote overwhelmingly for Republicans to save their civilization.
Here in the PNW, it’s quite noticeable in my Scout troop that the Obama voting, now Sander’s voting whites, tend to be from the most “estatey” fringes of Redmond–lawyers and software rich–living in lily white, often gated, communities, as far from NAM diversity as possible and free to vote according to their PC-religion.
Similar white rich folk in the Atlanta or Birmingham or Charlotte or Memphis suburbs simply can’t be so silly. The barbarians are already at the gates, if they want to conserve their society for their kids they can’t afford such fantasies. This desire of educated whites to conserve their civilization, means that this tranche of Sanders voters in the South just isn’t very big–not big enough to win.
* We simply need *separate* societies.
That’s actually the message of Ferguson. At root, it was an assertion that black thugs shouldn’t be stopped by white cops. (It’s “oppressive”.) Of course, the ultimate logic of that is that blacks and whites need separate communities.
Likewise, we–normals–need a society separate from the liberals, the “global cosmopolitans”–Soros, Zuck, Aldeson, etc. and their European counterparts.
I’m not greedy, i don’t begrudge them some real estate, for their PC-multiculti-universalist utopian fantasy. Let’s split and let them have a nation of their own which they can fill as they like with Muslims and Africans while defending the critical rights of boys who “feel like a girl inside” to use the girls bathroom. Have at it, loons!
But what these bastards actually want to do is enslave normal white hetero gentiles, make us work for them and tear down our societies–that took our ancestors, centuries to build into the most free and prosperous and civilized places on earth. And that desire is the most grotesque evil ever and must be stopped.
Separation. That’s the ticket.
* I’m surprised Bernie has gotten as far as he has.
It’s like watching my freshman-year political science professor run for president.
(That guy turned us all into communists — until we grew up.)
Bernie fits the stereotype perfectly: an old, Jewish hippie living in Burlington, Vermont.
* Cathy Young’s hatchet job can be compared to the one in Commentary magazine; they are both reactions to an article that sought a fair appraisal of the alt.right on Breitbart.com. If you actually only read Young and Commentary you might think their arguments are fairly strong, but then if you read the original Breitbart piece you realize how vapid their articles are.
Meanwhile, Cathy Young writes: Are there non-bigoted people involved in the alt-right? Probably.
Hey, thanks a lot, babe!
I actually thought Young’s article was OK until she characterized Unz.com as a den of anti-semitic crackpottery and referenced Norman Finkelstein! I didn’t realize that politically she is basically Max Boot in a dress.
Everyone should read the referenced articles to see how the dialog is evolving.
* With all the black/female/LGBT identity politics, you can’t be too surprised when white people want to have one too.
Exactly what’s going to happen after Trump, I have no clue. He was sort of a lucky coincidence in that his New York connections gave him a wider appeal than he would have had if he were, say, a conservative Georgia real estate developer. You’ll probably see big fissures in the GOP and at least one Hillary term.
The Republicans don’t have a good option–they need money from rich guys who want open borders and votes from poor white guys who don’t, and were willing to go along with it, but not anymore. Probably some Reagan-like figure will come along in a decade or so and somehow manage to square the circle.
The neocons may go back to the left (hey, Hillary loves Israel), or they may pile into libertarianism, or something I haven’t thought of.
* As for me, this site is a handy way for me to discuss the news and political and cultural trends without the stifling conformity and shibboleth wielding you will find in most other places. It’s really that simple, and it’s worth the $100 I donate every quarter (it’s coming, it’s coming …..)
Necons are basically very socially liberal, the only way they are “conservative” is that they like the idea of the armed services doing stuff. However, no conservative would have condoned decapitating sovereign states gratuitously. US foreign policy under GWB was nothing but neocons in the saddle, and it did a lot of damage in many, many ways. Reading between the lines, it seems clear that Cathy Young is just your typical neocon with strong socially liberal attitudes, she just doesn’t write about how we have a moral obligation to invade this country, or that country, or ….. I don’t think neocons really have a home outside of the Democrat party now. Watch for President Hilary to start a war, or two.
Republicans are basically irrelevant — speaking as one — because the only way they’ve defined themselves since Nixon was in terms of traditional values. Not to say that traditional values no longer exist, but no one is willing to articulate them anymore. GOP failures to even address immigration, values issues, or the plight of the white silent majority are the reasons why Trump is popular. It has nothing to do with the alt.right as such.
* Young’s article would’ve been interesting if it contained an argument, rather than ad hominem. She writes as another SJW, defining the limits of polite company and respectable debate. She apparently hails from the same community that believes that dissent can only be offered by Democrats during Republican administrations.
It’s a funny (strange) article in contrast to the USA Today article critiqued by Sailer. Either race matters–or it doesn’t. If it matters, then all aspects are discussable. If it doesn’t, then stop obsessing over it.
You’d have thought someone born and raised in the Soviet Union would respect debate–especially debate outside the constraints deemed by those ‘in the mainstream’ –but you’d be wrong.
* It looks like most of Cathy Young’s work appears on Reason, so she might not be a neo-con. Her column at The Federalist was one of the lazier, poorly researched columns I have read recently. In addition to calling VDare Steve Sailer’s website, she acted like he has no interests beyond commenting on HBD.
Looking through her archive at Reason, she wrote two columns for them on the Jackie Coakley story without mentioning Steve or Richard Bradley. Hard to say if she is just lazy or ignores the work of writers she doesn’t like.
