Jews, Muslims & The American Future

Comment: In England right now there is a great big rumpus concerning that nasty old Trot of a Labour former London mayor and MP, Ken Livingstone, and accusations of ‘antisemitism’.
Basically, Livingstone, rather astonishingly, described Adolf Hitler as a ‘Zionist’.

As some background, Livingstone got into this mess by defending one Naz Shah, a female Pakistani MP – representing Bradford, naturally, – who tweeted that ‘Jews should be paid money to vacate Israel and relocate to the USA’ -. The irony of a Pakistani living on British soil making such a remark apparently escaped her.

Anyhow, as the Labour Party more and more relies in the immigrant vote, and thus panders to islamists, this sort of thing will get more common. Labour MPs will more or less openly denounce Israel – and Jews as a people – to garner the massive and rapidly growing Muslim vote. Ironically, British Jews were the leading supporters of the criminalization of opposition to massive third world immigration into Britain. Some, such as the truly odious Jonathan Ported, were architects of shitty New Labour’s open door policy of massive uncontrolled immigration.

Surely, there’s a moral or two here.

* While not exactly the case, it’s not that astonishing, since it’s been fairly well documented that Hitler was cooperating to establish Israel with certain Zionist factions.

Here’s a link of a news report when the book that explained “The Transfer Agreement” was published. The author was Jewish, and his parents were appalled:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8_bFF8c-Jk

Here’s a more recent interview on cspan with the author:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-SC9DFopGw

The facts as related in the book tends to upset some people, particularly some jewish people, since apparently the prime directive of managing information on the jewish holocaust is that one can never imply that jews, collectively, or individually, might have inadvertently “brought it on themselves,” as well as the notion that Hitler had 101 problems, and the jews were only one of them, rather than casting jews as an irresistible scapegoat whom Hitler wanted to expel from the planet in short order regardless of the consequences.

In any case, Livingston is overreaching the limits of the truth, when referring to Hitler as a Zionist simply because Hitler cooperated with Zionists to establish Israel–but he’s not hallucinating.

I would conclude that jewish leadership was so fractured at the time, that initiating the agreement became impossible. Not necessarily anybody’s fault, it’s just the way the dice rolled at that time. If you believe timing is everything in political discourse, the timing was bad for the Transfer Agreement to work.

The book is available on Amazon.

Steve Sailer: Mexican Flag-waving Mob Harassing Motorists Outside Trump Rally in Costa Mesa, CA

Screenshot-2016-04-28-22.09.04

Comments:

* Nothing like recruiting more support for Trump.

But then no one ever accused Mexicans of being smart.

* They always used to hand out American flags at the various pro-illegal rallies so as to manage the public’s perceptions even though in fact it meant nothing to those waving it. I guess this is closer to what their real feelings are.

* I think that some SJWs, BLM types, and other identity protesters are so certain of their own rightness in opposing “oppression”, “Fascism”, “Trumpism”, or whatever ism they project on those they hate, that they are oblivious to how they are coming across and how they are actually helping the side they oppose.

Nearly any demonstration that disrupts “business as usual”, which is to say which blocks commuters trying to get home, etc. just pisses off everyone stuck in traffic due to the demonstration. Add Mexican flags to it and it just feeds support for Trump.

This is not rocket science, but apparently many of these folks do not have a clue.

* No, not very smart. Mexican flags don’t really resonate with the American voter. It’s almost as if these demonstrators don’t actually know much about things of this sort.

This is like a classroom lab where we study what it is like to have a median IQ of about 92.5. Conclusion: You don’t really get what other people are thinking because you’re too damn stupid.

I think Griffe is right: the median IQ has to be above 105 for a group to have any semblance of functionality and civility in the modern world.

* Reminds me of the Million-Mexican March for immigration “amnesty” a decade ago in Los Angeles, which became a festival of La Raza strutting, taunting, and jeering while waving Mexican flags, almost calculated to brown off the American voters who the marchers were supposedly begging for favors.

* They don’t care about the visuals because they don’t care about America. That is how bad it is.

I sat next to a Latin American woman- completely pure European by looks – immigrant at dinner the other night. She absolutely admitted the US was a superior place to live, that her country was corrupt and did not work well and the US did work well or at least much better. She hated Trump. I said to her that Latin America really is dumping its poor population on us, and that population would not have an effect on her, or her wealthy husband and it did not directly hurt me but it did hurt the poor workers of the US who have to compete with ever more low end wage earners. And I realized, as I was speaking to her she did not care about poor workers of the US. She did not care about poor workers in her own country! why would she care about them in our country? But she can vote. And she will vote against Trump.

* Not to this extent but similar stuff occurred at the Trump rally in Fort Worth TX. The convention center grounds in downtown were filled mostly with very low key whites and driving around them, circling if you will, were these thuggish Mexican guys revving their trucks engines, honking their horns and brandishing Mexican Flags. Media seemed to be looking at everything else and I never saw coverage of it. Maybe because this was the event where Christie announced his endorsement (VP?), but I don’t think so. It was the most unnerving thing I had seen in a while and it might as well not have happened. Move along. Nothing to see here.

* Most Americans have no idea just how incredibly racist the Mexican upper class is, or how their racist mores permeate Mexican society. It’s been a number of years since I explored interior Mexico, but I remember that the billboard advertisements (Pasala SUPER!) were ALL gorgeous women with lily white skin. No diversity to be seen …. Why would they not have diversity in such ads? Because it doesn’t sell beer.

* One sure sign that the demonstration is an authentic Mexican expression and not a setup by Trumpsters is the presence of the chubby dude selling Mexican kewpie dolls and other knick-knacks in the top photo. Whenever there are more than 10 Mexicans gathered together anywhere those guys always appear selling their wares. That’s just a detail that would elude anybody in America’s political class because they stay as far away from Mexicans as they possibly can, Trumpsters included.

* A quick look at the LA Times and OC Register web sites show most of the pictures that show Mexican flags have been scrubbed. They did own up to most of the protesters being late-teens/early 20′s Latinos.

* Wow. The video of those hispanics amassing and converging on a pickup truck waiting at a stop light was terrifying. Imagine if there were kids in that truck. Jesus.

Those were some big fat skank lookin’ dudes. They weren’t like your average hispanic in California. Those were foreign-born hood rats. They looked fresh out of the rio grande. Not that long ago, it would be inconceivable that illegal aliens would actually riot in the streets of Costa fucking Mesa.

I remember when Costa Mesa was a nice, indescript little town. Nothing remotely of the kind ever went on there. Just horrendous.

From this day forward, before retiring, I will pray each night for Obama to suffer a stroke, leaving him without the memory of the english language, nor the ability to relearn it, so the rest of his wretched days are spent screaming at Michelle in guttural spanish.

* In Mexico there is a constant series of marches, demonstrations, parades, and protesters showing the public their attachment to one cause or another. It blocks busses and car traffic. Most days you can depend on the public transit but if there’s a manifestación you’re going nowhere.

The Mexico City Metro avoids the trouble, of course. It’s the best way to get across town anyway.

It might be the losing party in an election, the electrical workers’ union, the march for rights of women or indigenous people, students protesting something, or anything else. It’s just a part of the fabric of Mexican life that you show dissatisfaction by marching through town at rush hour.

I don’t find it charming and would prefer the authorities put a stop to it. I do get a little schadenfreude when the rich and heavily subsidized car drivers get stuck and we Metro riders have an easy time.

And sometimes the marchers are just tone deaf enough to march in the USA with Mexican flags. I don’t expect Americans will like it much as this practice grows and grows. But as there aren’t any Mexicans to speak of in swing states, it won’t affect the November results.

* One of the most redeeming qualities of Trump is his enemies. He is so terribly fortunate in his enemies.

I find Trump very distasteful and embarrassing, but when I see his enemies, my urge to vote for the man increases exponentially.

* I think it’s a mistake to build the wall where the border currently stands. It’s impossible to defend. We should mirror what the Israelis have done in Palestine and push the Mexicans into the area east of Coatzacoalcos and build a new cheaper, better border at the choke point running south of there. It’s a much gentler solution than using Panama as the choke point.

* You may try to swamp us with sheer numbers but remember; a disciplined band of well-organized, intelligent fighters will put to rout a disorganized rabble every time and every where. Remember the march of the Greek 10,000!

One white European is worth fifty sweatbacks in a fight. One day you will be marched back across the desert border in chains and we shall see how you celebrate then.

Mexico for Mexicans. America for Americans. My grandfather fought the cowardly Pancho Villa and hopefully, my grandchildren will fight yours. We could never bring Villa to battle because he ran around like the coward Mexicans males are, avoiding a direct confrontation at all costs. What a pathetic “hero” you blustering loudmouths worship.

Chicano Go Home! (and take your fat women with you).

* I guess freedom of speech and association are not bedrock values to Mexicans. Too bad we don’t have an American president these days, he would know what to do with foreign invaders attempting to threaten American freedoms and civil rights.

* If a black walks in front of one’s car — as several can be relied upon to do on any given drive through Detroit — you simply make it clear that you aren’t slowing, and they sensibly get out of the way. The average weight of these Mestizos appears to be well over three hundred pounds and without those all-important flags you might think it was a fat pride waddle. I would stop.
Several threads about this on fourchan last night, and all were characterized by people identifying as Hispanics and Mexicans, many with the IP-based national flag in their headers, saying how ashamed they were by this behavior.
The consensus was that this, like El Chapo’s brilliant idea of physically threatening American presidential candidates for having dared to call him a violent criminal, illustrates an under-appreciated reality for apoliticals and those Americans who have not followed the immigration story, and so helps Trump. A similar illustration was the classic Cartel massacre of eight members of an Ohio family tied to high-level marijuana growing: cartels behaving like cartels in Ohio will wake up people who had thought that Spanish-speaking areas could only be found in the South West.

* During the immigration battles of the 1990′s there were hordes of hispanics taking to the streets of Southern California and what the public saw was a sea of mexican flags. Then the popular radio personality Piolin (an illegal alien himself) told his listeners to leave the mexican flags at home and wave American flags instead. Apparently, either their forgetting that lesson or they are now so comfortable and arrogant they don’t think it matters.

* I worked in Las Vegas off and on between 1969 and 2004, and couldn’t get over how there were NO Mexicans, anywhere. Not even the laborers, waiters, busboys, or bar boys. It was all white kids from the local schools or guys who moved up from LA or from back East during a divorce. If a guy wanted to be a bartender, he had to be a bar boy 6 mo. per union rules. Musicians union also had a 6 mo wait period. There were lots of Jews and Italians..very few colored acts in the showrooms.

What a different world that was.

* Declaring victory is no different than declaring the debate is over, or the science is settled–reality is rarely accommodating to smug assertions. The need to do so is an indication of weakness.

* I am no expert in geography but it stands to reason there is likely to be within a landmass that has a ~2000 mile border where it currently stands and a ~50 mile width on the other end, that somewhere in the middle will be a better choke point than the 2000 mile one.

In this age open borders are promoted by both party establishments, which means that in practice, the border is not respected and people can move where they like and wave the flags of foreign governments. We should not at the same time play by “End of History” type rules where we cannot entertain fighting back with a similar lack of respect for borders. Let’s put it on the table. If it is ok for Israel, and it is ok for Russia, why is it not ok for the USA to look at doing the same thing?

And frankly, with the tacit encouragement of the burgeoning Chinese colony that is Shangcouver in the North – if the Canadians can’t govern like grownups in their own country, maybe the US should do it for them. As if President Zoolander would do anything about it, except send a strongly worded love letter.

* If Trump knows anything, it is that the key thing to understand about real estate is Location, Location, Location. I know with Mexico paying for the wall, cost is less an issue but still I think this merits some discussion if for nothing else than to move the Overton window.

Trump Gets Considerable Support From Blacks

Steve Sailer writes: A lot of people seem to see Trump’s run as a referendum on truthfulness of The Narrative about race.

He’s a test case, the street urchin in “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” If he can’t be silenced, who know what he might say.

And yet, there’s little evidence that Trump is challenging The Narrative when it comes to race. He seems to have a more functional view that we ought to be able to discuss frankly the merits and demerits of permitting various foreigners into America, but hasn’t wanted to get into the merits and demerits of African-Americans, who are, after all, his fellow Americans.

But that is apparently too sophisticated a concept for the news media establishment to grasp.

COMMENTS:

* If you came across a girl who was crying, would you start analyzing the sobs, trying to figure their meaning? Of course not, because you realize that it’s just the sound she makes while experiencing an emotion.

That’s what this is. The emotion the writer is communicating is “I hate white men”. That’s it. The content of the text is irrelevant and trying to poke holes in the “arguments” is silly.

* One thing worth noting is that Trump has come down hard on BLM. He has made it clear that he will back the police, and he has had no qualms about having his security escort BLM protestors away from his events. That of course makes him a flaming racist in 2016, even if you despise BLM for all the “black bodies” it has been leaving on the street.

But yes, Trump has otherwise shown no animus to blacks during this campaign. If he’s smart, he’ll try to broaden his message out to blacks in Rust Belt states. He can probably make some ground in suggesting that Hillary’s open borders policies will leave less Affirmative Action goodies left for blacks.

I wonder if he will stress, come the general election, that his policies will be good for Hispanic citizens, but that he thinks illegal immigration is a problem for everyone, including Hispanic citizens.

* Yet another race-obsessed NYT mulatto author who cannot write in coherent English. And yes, Tomás Jiménez, an associate professor of sociology and comparative studies in race and ethnicity at Stanford University, looks exactly like what Steve’s long time readers would predict: 100% white European.

tomas_jimenez_2015

* As a Canadian watching from a distance I can’t help but cheer on Trump simply because of this purgative effect he’s having on your – and, unfortunately, my – political culture. I like that the Ms. Jenée Desmond-Harris types are now pooling around Hillary along with the neocons, cuckservatives, tranny washroom advocates, globalists, race hysterics and feisty gals.

Hillary is fast becoming a giant Scum Magnet. She’s pulling all the bad ideas and toxic people to her side. This is a good thing. Let her and her campaign act as a cathartic scapegoat for the American community. Let all the post-1968 bad ideas be tied to her just before she’s metaphorically driven off a cliff.

The fact that she’s a feisty White lady from a comfortable, old stock background just makes her even more ideal for her role in this purgative event. Putting bossy, WASP-y Hillary in the global village’s cucking stool is urgently needed now. It must be done and must be seen to be done by all the other bossy gals from comfortable backgrounds, from Helsinki to Seattle. Trump trumping Hillary in your presidential race is the ideal venue for this mother of all “teachable moments”. Trump’s showmanship will make sure it’s done well too. It would make the perfect matching book-end to the silly, feisty gals in Norway who gave Obama the Nobel Prize for no reason at all or for Merkel being Merkel.

* Do Black journalists who do not write about race even exist?

* A better approximation of a typical Trump supporter is that they feel they have the right to put Americans and America first, including non-white Americans citizens. And if that means cutting off the free ride of foreigners who are trying to mooch off the US taxpayer, or threatening the safety of the people, then too bad for them, regardless of whether they are predominately brown in aggregate.

Basically, the Trump supporter is giving the finger to the state ideology of the times, which holds that because most of those foreigners are non-white Mexicans and Muslims, that they are innocent angels due whatever they want as penance payment from (predominately white) American citizens for imagined/grossly exaggerated “sins” of white people in the past.

* Trump has called blacks “the blacks” – this is PROOF POSITIVE that he is a flaming racist Nazi. Any politically correct person knows not to call blacks “the blacks” this week, just as they know that this week you call the various flavors of sexual deviants not just “gay” but LGTBQ(XYZ). Personally I’m not a politically correct person so I don’t know the secret password for what it is correct to call black people (or gays) this week – it has changed at least 5 times in my lifetime, but whatever it is, it is not “the blacks”, that’s for sure.

The Wit & Wisdom Of Ann Coulter

From her Twitter account:

* Immigrants seamlessly assimilate to the Anglo-Saxon political process & abandon violent Latin American agitation.

* They should tell those rioters at Trump rallies that it’s actually a job fair. That oughtta keep ’em away.

* This ought to have ISIS shaking in their boots. U.S. West Point academy set for 1st woman dean in 2 century history.

* When I see these violent “protesters,” it makes me not only value the 1st amendment, but also the 2d.

* Violent mob trying to prevent Trump from speaking waving Mexican flags. BUILD THE WALL!

* More & more of our tax money goes to protect the public from violent 3d worlders invited to live in our country by Dems.

* These aren’t “protesters” — violent thugs have broken through barricades & are trying to bust into building to get Trump. Total 3rd World!

* FLASHBACK: Costa Mesa was also where Mexican protesters tried to shut down my book signing.

‘Make America Mexico Again’: We Warned You About America-Hating Mobs

Lee Stranahan writes: Since the advent of the of the Occupy Wall Street movement and continuing though the rise of Black Lives Matter, Breitbart News has been warning and educating our audience about the real nature of the radical protest movements that act both as the vanguard of the revolution for the far-left and the shock troops for establishment Democrats.

The protests that America saw in California on Thursday and Friday should be wake-up call about the real nature and goals of these movements. The facts were all there about the people coming together not merely to protest Donald Trump but to strike out at America itself. Everyone could see the American flags burning, the Mexican flags flying, the violence and the vulgarity all aimed at capitalism, freedom, and white Americans.

In my appearance Thursday morning on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125, I connected the dots on a modern day axis of evil we see destroying the modern world: the deadly alliance between radical Islam and the radical Left.

Mexico Is Sending Us Colonists, Not Immigrants

Tom Tancredo writes: “Mexico First” has been the open, avowed policy of the government of Mexico for a generation, and Mexico expects its former residents to be loyal to Mexico for the next 200 years.

Yet, when Donald Trump calls for an “America First” foreign policy, as he did in a speech this past week, he is denounced by pundits and the national security establishment for “nativism” and “demagoguery,” as if that policy is a novel and radical idea.

Well, not in Mexico.

I know that for a fact because I had it explained to me in Mexico City back in 2001 by a Mexican cabinet official. His name was Juan Hernandez and you may have seen him on television in 2008 when he was candidate Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign liaison with Mexican-American voters. You see, Juan Hernandez is a dual citizen with dual loyalties, just like many of the 30-50 million Mexican Americans in the United States.

In my conversation with Hernandez in Mexico’s capital city, he explained quite eagerly and candidly the reasons for the Mexican government’s active encouragement of Mexicans to “go north” — legally and illegally. Senor Hernandez was the head of a department in the Mexican government called the Office of Mexicans Living Outside Mexico– an entire government agency devoted to communicating with and assisting Mexicans living in the United States.

Hernandez bragged about the many programs for encouraging and helping Mexicans to move north, programs that provided “survival kits” and maps for the journey, helpful hints on how to deal with the U.S. Border Patrol, and how to deal with American officials if apprehended on the border. He was not apologetic or shy about these “educational services,” and answered my questions freely.

Being surprised by the brazenness of this government official, I asked Hernandez, “Aren’t you a little bit ashamed or embarrassed to admit that your government is actively encouraging and helping people to cross the United States border illegally? He laughed. I remember his words clearly: “Congressman, really! The southwest is not two countries, it’s a region.”

Why does Mexico devote so much effort to promoting and helping millions of its citizens leave Mexico and start a new life in “el Norte”? Does the fact that the millions of Mexicans living in the U.S. send $25 billion dollars in cash remittances annually back to relatives in Mexico have anything to do with it– cash that provides 30 percent of Mexico’s foreign investment, rivaling tourism in importance to the Mexican economy?

Mexico sees Mexicans in the United States as strategic assets in every sense of that word. They are seen as extensions of the Mexican state and partners in Mexico’s plans…

Reddit: By deporting illegals, California would be able to subsidize college tuition by $25,000 annually for over 1 million students

More.

Report: Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden as a result of an illegal alien population estimated at almost 3 million residents. The annual expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population is $25.3 billion. That total amounts to a yearly burden of about $2,370 for a household headed by a U.S. citizen.
Nearly half of those expenditures ($12.3 billion) result from the costs of K-12 education for the children of illegal aliens — both those illegally in the country and those born in the United States. Another major outlay ($2.1 billion) results from the need to provide supplemental English language instruction to Limited English Proficient students, many of whom are children of illegal aliens. Together, these educational costs are 57.1 percent of total expenditures.
Other fiscal outlays result from the costs of medical care ($4.0 billion), public assistance services ($800 million), administration of justice functions ($4.4 billion), and general governmental services ($1.6 billion).
Because some tax revenue is collected from the illegal alien population, we include an estimate of this revenue from sales, income, property and “sin” taxes. Yet, it should be kept in mind that the $3.5 billion in tax collections is not truly an offset to the fiscal costs, because similar, and likely greater, tax revenue would be collected if the same jobs were filled by legal workers.
The adoption of new amnesty legislation, such as Senate bill S.774, the so-called Gang of Eight bill, backed by the Obama administration, would not be an economic benefit to Californian taxpayers as some have argued. Amnesty advocates assert that providing legal status to illegal aliens would reduce the cost of “undocumented immigrants.” That is akin to arguing that the way to reduce speeding on the highways is to abolish speed limits. Doing so would eliminate speeding, but it would not eliminate the danger of operating vehicles at excessive speed, and, arguably, would have the opposite effect. Similarly, converting illegal aliens into legal residents would reduce the size of the illegal alien population, but it would not reduce the overall fiscal outlays associated with that population, and arguably would significantly increase them as the newly legalized residents became eligible for public assistance that was denied to them while they did not have legal status. It would also lead to additional illegal immigration as happened following the 1986 amnesty, which would further increase the fiscal burden.
The costs related to the presence of illegal aliens can be lowered. The most effective step a state can take to discourage the arrival of illegal aliens is to utilize the E-Verify screening system designed to prevent employers from hiring illegal workers. California instead is moving in the opposite direction by adopting measures designed to accommodate the presence of illegal aliens. A.B. 4, the so-called Trust Act, restricts the cooperation between state and local law enforcement agencies with federal immigration authorities. A more recent law, A.B. 60, gives illegal aliens access to driver’s licenses. This measure alone is going to cost the state of California, by its own admission, $64.7 million per year.

White Woman Julia Ioffe Outraged When Blacks Criticize Themselves

Julia Ioffe writes for The New Republic:

Last Thursday, the rapper Nelly went on the air of his hometown hip-hop radio station, St. Louis’s Hot 104.1, to announce a college scholarship fund for local teens in honor of Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old killed by a policeman earlier this month. Nelly also took the opportunity to mock the looters who have flourished since Brown’s death, saying, “We don’t even know how to loot. We get out of the car without a mask, look at the camera, and then put the mask on.” Then he set his sights on black people more broadly. “Every other race I know play chess,” he said. “Black people play checkers.”

Nelly isn’t the only prominent black figure with harsh words for his own community since the unrest began in Ferguson. James Clark, the head of Better Family Lives, a local organization that works with black youth, says the black middle class is largely responsible. “They turned their back on the community,” he told me. “We have African-Americans with law degrees, that are lawyers and judges, but they’re not looking out for the black boys in the prison pipeline, they’re not sharing their knowledge.”

Clark went even further. “No one treats African-Americans worse than we treat each other,” he said. “We were outraged when George Zimmerman killed a black boy, but Zimmerman was taught by watching black people kill black people. He learned it from us. We planted the seed.”

It was a sentiment I heard again and again in Ferguson: Yes, the largely white police force acted egregiously. Yes, the system—in segregated St. Louis more than in most cities—is stacked against them. But there’s something rotten inside the black community, too. “I feel like the race needs to get the infection out of itself,” Dellena, the owner of the 911 Hair Salon, a block away from the burned-out QT, told me. “People are not educated. You need to think, what is the image that you’re giving off? You need to have all your business together if you know you’re ten times more likely to get pulled over.” Or as Mark L. Rose, a late-middle-age black man I met at a protest, put it, “When the cops see these boys walking around with their pants down, of course they have no respect for them.”

This self-criticism—or self-flagellation—is nothing new. It’s the return of a phenomenon that is referred to by African-American historians as the “politics of respectability.” “During times of unrest, black writers going back to the early 20th century have argued that the reason blacks are facing discrimination or police brutality is because they have not been acting properly in public—particularly young, poor people,” says Michael Dawson, a political scientist and director of the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture at the University of Chicago. “In the last 20 years, it’s been a criticism of baggy pants, rap music, hair styles. Back in my generation, it was Afros. I remember my grandparents telling me, ‘you should cut your hair.’”

Respectability, in essence, is about policing the behavior in your community to make sure people are behaving “properly,” so as to not attract unwelcome attention from whites—“with ‘properly’ being a normatively white middle class presentation,” says Dawson. In feminist discourse, a similar phenomenon among women is described as internalizing the patriarchal gaze. That is, women see themselves as the men in charge want to see them—feminine, sexy, pliant—and then behave and dress accordingly. Respectability is the same thing, but with blacks internalizing the white gaze.
