Noticing social ills that can\u2019t be put on this much-hated demographic is verboten.<\/p>\n<p>* It\u2019s not the prediction that is wrong it\u2019s what flows from it. Bryant Gumble noted this a few years back when Larry Bird caught flack for saying basketball is a black man\u2019s game. Gumble noted it was wrong because if you concluded black men were good at something, then you could conclude they were also bad at stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Well\u2026 duh.<\/p>\n<p>So you can\u2019t reliably predict, or profile, these murderers because soon somebody will start to point the finger at the black community\u2019s culture and values that help create these guys. Or maybe even feminism for promoting unwed and single parenthood. We can\u2019t have that now, can we?<\/p>\n<p>As Bryant Gumble so unironically pointed out: they\u2019re not taking any of the blame.<\/p>\n<p>Must be a straight white man\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n<p>* I\u2019ll merely reference the words of the great Joe Sobran:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody really disagreed with me. That, in fact, was the problem. Nothing creates more awkwardness than saying things people can\u2019t afford to admit they agree with. Disagreement is manageable. It\u2019s agreement that wreaks havoc. If people disagree, they\u2019ll debate you. If they secretly agree with something, but are furious with you for saying it, then they\u2019ll try to shut you up by any means necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments to Steve Sailer: * The political coalition of the left depends entirely on keeping united various groups that really don\u2019t like each other much, so the progressives do everything they can to keep their anger directed at oppressive law-abiding &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=92869\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blacks"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=92869"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92872,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92869\/revisions\/92872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=92869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=92869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=92869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
