* The Obama Years:<\/p>\n

Wages \u2013 down.
\nBudget deficits \u2013 way up.
\nHomelessness \u2013 way way up.
\nMiddle East \u2013 in flames.
\nFood costs \u2013 way up.
\nTest scores \u2013 down.
\nMurders \u2013 up<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like livin\u2019 in a dream\u2026<\/p>\n

* It\u2019s worse than the NYT is even capable of understanding. The present illuminates the past much more than the past illuminates the present. The all-too-clear view we have of black behavior now explains the \u201cracism\u201d of segregationists in the distorted view we have of back then. It\u2019s also ironic that keeping that image of the past luridly alive in the minds of black Americans fuels black bigotry.
\nSuch as the extreme example Bryce Williams, crazy and stupid, seizes on the Narrative and acts out; media steps in, explains his behavior naturally follows from slavery, Jim Crow, etc (indeed, his behavior is really our own fault\u2013blowback); and a thousand more fools are radicalized and handed a rationalization both for their own failures and the ensuing actions their latent bigotry is already encouraging. Rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n

* White Southern segregationists in the \u201950\u2032s and \u201960\u2032s tried to warn us that this social experiment wouldn\u2019t work. From hindsight their warnings made more sense than all the preposterous propaganda we see now intended to excuse black behavior in the current, observable world.<\/p>\n

* That was when blacks were at peak good behavior. Imagine what they would think of them now.<\/p>\n

* Those folks on the \u201cwrong side of history\u201d were quite right.<\/p>\n

* That\u2019s exactly how I\u2019ve been reading our \u201cracist past\u201d recently. It\u2019s amazing to read the accounts of whites from the 19th century and early 20th century about blacks.<\/p>\n

The crime, the off the handle behavior, shiftiness. They even knew enough about blacks to know not all conducted themselves in such a manner but that it was best for all to be apart.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve begrudgingly come to the conclusion that Jim Crow was a response to observed behavior.<\/p>\n

* I was talking with my wife tonight about Donald Trump and his appeal. She isn\u2019t particularly politically aware, but even she remarked that the last 7 and a half years have seemingly made the racial problems in our country worse. Her reasoning was: well, maybe things were bad for black people 8 years ago, but their position certainly hasn\u2019t improved, and at least people weren\u2019t being murdered on live TV for being white.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to think that normal, blue-pilled people are starting to catch on.<\/p>\n

* The point is that America\u2019s racial history is meant to be a perpetual, unresolvable Weight around the neck of American society. Unresolvable, unknowable, and never meant to be resolved, but intended, as needed, to push whatever agenda The New York Times Editorial Board and Carlos Slim desire. <\/p>\n

* The NY Times condemns the \u201cruthlessly effective\u201d<\/a> (which I guess is now a bad thing) border controls in Australia. For some reason, such harsh language is never applied to Israel, of course, which sends its African migrants to Uganda and Sweden, and even Ethiopian Jews are forcefully injected with Depo-Provera long term birth control<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, The New York Times reassuringly informs the reader the \u201cworld\u2019s war zones are all but certain to continue to churn out an extraordinary number of refugees and economic migrants in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, THIS is just the beginning of an ETERNAL flow of EXTRAORDINARY number of migrants and there is LITERALLY NOTHING that can be done about it; unless of course, you are Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates; South Korea; Japan; Taiwan; Singapore; China; Mexico; all of Africa and all of South America\u2026 <\/p>\n

* When Trump was in Alabama, Dave Weigel, a reporter for the Washington Post, tweeted a transcript of a convo he had with a farmer in Alabama.<\/p>\n

The farmer said something to the effect of \u2018growing up we were taught that they\u2019re ni***rs and there are black people\u2019.<\/p>\n

Of course most folks went ballistic about his use of n-word, while missing how instead of condemning all blacks he knew enough about them to distinguish between a horribly behaved underclass and other blacks.<\/p>\n

The Southern white due to proximity has been at the forefront of race relations in this country. It\u2019s ironic that their opinions are now ignored or condemned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
