Or would it just irritate it?<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Dale points out that elite black political action:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 has become largely about translating black failure into political power. Failure, fed through enforced faith in the equality of the races, is black political power. The black elite and their white allies love black failure, even if they don\u2019t know it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Comments to Steve Sailer:<\/p>\n<p>* Blacks and jews have this in common. For jews, to be without their sense of persecution is equivalent to having one of those dreams in which one imagines themselves as appearing in public without their pants on. Stripped of their sense of being uniquely persecuted, both jews and blacks feel naked. They have no defense and having no defense, they have no offensive weapon with which to manipulate the society they live in. Finding this situation intolerable they lash out blindly at any white who persecutes them by denying them the right to feel persecuted.<\/p>\n<p>Both imagine themselves to be superior beings in the white world in which they find themselves and deeply resent any suggestion that they must engage in manual labor or gritty productive work which produces a tangible product. Seemingly every black I have known has claimed to be the descendent of some imagined African \u201croyalty\u201d. I\u2019ve never met a jewish man who wasn\u2019t ruled by his mother\u2019s injunction to avoid, of all things, working with his hands.<\/p>\n<p>They are drawn together by their common interest in avoiding labor and in their effort to enslave the white race. Every jewish-conceived and supported social program enacted in the last fifty years which redistributes wealth from the white middle class to poor blacks attests to the truth of these claims.<\/p>\n<p>* It is not that Blacks have a great amount of absolute political power, but they drive public policy way above what they merit: school policy; housing policy; policing; hiring; etc., all done largely in service to caring for chronic non-achievers.<\/p>\n<p>We are having 50 yr. anniversaries of the civil rights era, and you\u2019d think we\u2019ve gone backwards from all the anxiety and hand wringing we get from that quarter. I can\u2019t imagine things ever getting better. With the signal achievement of the moon landing, we got a \u201cWhitey on the Moon\u201d lament. It has pretty much been a non-stop repeat of that sentiment ever since.<\/p>\n<p>* White people need their own \u201cvictim narrative\u201d if you will to reclaim moral superiority-nay, moral equality at least.<\/p>\n<p>I only fear the rivers of blood this would require.<\/p>\n<p>* Black pols may not dominate, but \u201cthe black problem\u201d does dominate. If you doubt that, try repeating what you just said at your next staff meeting or in front of the HR people. You\u2019re fired in an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Blacks have been given a form of the heckler\u2019s veto over public discourse.<\/p>\n<p>* Jews are even more sufferistic, but they are richer and more sucessful than others.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really black dominance in pop music and sports that really does the trick.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose white Americans bought slaves from Bolivia instead of from Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think whites would care much about short, unfunky, and unathletic Bolivian-Americans bitching about their problems?<\/p>\n<p>* Could this be part of the reason that the Black Caucus shows so little interest in measures that might actually reduce black failure, e.g., more and better vocational training combined with measures like immigration control and restrictions on imports from low-wage countries like China that might increase the demand for African American labor?<\/p>\n<p>* It\u2019s only dysfunction in the context of white norms. What so many clueless whites refer to as \u201cblacks behaving badly\u201d is really just \u201cblacks behaving typically\u201d. Look at the behavior of Africans in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>* This is also one of the reasons the far left doesn\u2019t like Israel\u2013they\u2019re whiter than the Palestinians, and get judged by the \u2018white\u2019 yardstick when it comes to repression (you don\u2019t see the Left forming huge groups to go after, say, East Timor.)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Israelis have the neocons and Jewish center-left going to bat for them.<\/p>\n<p>But Russia gets screwed twice\u2013they\u2019re white, and anti-gay. We hear a lot about Russia making propounding gay rights illegal, but little about African countries making actually being gay illegal, as in killing people found having gay sex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Sailer writes: If African Americans were to get their acts together and make some progress, would this please the zeitgeist?
