Steve Sailer: “The New York Times has a tool called Chronicle<\/a> for telling you what percentage of Times article have included a particular word over the centuries. Here we see \u201cracism\u201d in green, \u201csexism\u201d in black, and \u201ctransgender\u201d in blue, all shooting up post 2010: the Establishment having a nervous breakdown.”<\/p>\n

Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* How many times a day does the average person hear or read these words? Every day I hear them constantly from morning till night through all media. Television, movies, commercials and ads all incorporate some propaganda in them. When you start noting each and every single instance throughout the day a person starts to realize what a total propaganda matrix we\u2019re all living in.<\/p>\n

* It\u2019s not the establishment having a nervous breakdown. It\u2019s the exultation that comes right before the final killing thrust. The early celebration when you are up by three touchdowns with only a minute on the clock. Insert your own metaphor, but it\u2019s been rampant, shameless, public acknowledgement of supreme power since Obama came into office and the SJW dominoes continued to fall. Obamacare legalized via Judicial fiat? Check. Gay marriage via Supreme Court? Check. De facto open borders? Check. Drastically increased miscegenation in television and movies? Check. Normalization of transgenders? Check. Covert anti-white propaganda becoming overt? Check. On and on it goes. Victory after victory.<\/p>\n

The Trump phenomenon has come as an unexpected shock, causing sudden panic and even more pushing of the agenda. If he wins this thing, he could be on his way to being the greatest American since George Washington.<\/p>\n

* Rubble Kings is a very good documentary about the complete disintegration of the Bronx in the 70\u2032s from the guys who were actually involved.
\nThe biker look that the black gangs wore was lifted from the Hells Angels. The Angels were the only American counterculture of the 60\u2032s\/70\u2032s that signaled toughness and masculinity and the black and Latin gangs in NYC latched onto it with gusto.<\/p>\n

* Tom Wolfe wrote a lot about the pimp look around 1970. The NWA gangsta rap Los Angeles Raiders fan look always seemed like they were trying kind of hard to look masculine. The pimp look didn\u2019t worry about that.<\/p>\n

* Are you saying that Easy-e, who got aids in the 80s, wasn\u2019t as masculine as he seemed?<\/p>\n

* I need help!<\/p>\n

Someone is passing around \u201cmemos\u201d on all of this stuff. Feel privileged if you are one of the few who are getting the memos. I\u2019m not and I\u2019m starting to worry that there is something fundamentally wrong with me.<\/p>\n

Remember, this is all is important stuff (see below) \u2026 since otherwise you are on the \u201cout\u201d and not part of the revolutionary change quickly reshaping the country. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get on the memo list?<\/p>\n

A few examples:<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t see this coming. Did you notice that it only took a few day for all Confederate Flags to be taken out of stores and off the market? This included Amazon where Nazi regalia continued to be for sale. I\u2019m a student of Civil War history and was about to buy one and then they were gone.<\/p>\n

Did you notice that Paula Dean\u2019s media and publishing empire collapsed within a few days and she was wiped clean from the national media when an employee claimed her son used the \u201cN\u201d word in one of her restaurants? What did Paula Dean do wrong besides showcase unhealthy food? Somehow I don\u2019t get it \u2026 but perhaps I should get it.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t see this coming either. Did you notice how the media began hyping full civil rights for homosexuals and lesbians and then the transgendered in the name of diversity in the face of a massive majority of citizens opposing the social changes. For homosexuals, this happened over a few days. For the transgendered, it happened over a few weeks. Then, we discovered that toddlers and adolescents can be transgendered. How blind we\u2019ve been all of these years!<\/p>\n

This shocked me. I thought that Federal officials had to take an oath to uphold the Constitution that specified the powers and authorities for governing the United States as a NATION. Then, John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, tells college students last week<\/a> to be prepared for living without borders. \u201cYou\u2019re about to graduate into a complex and borderless world \u2026.\u201d Aren\u2019t we still a NATION? I didn\u2019t get the memo. That upsets me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m confused. Have you noticed that Blacks are now featured in at least 50% of all television commercials. In many, they are the lead ethnicity. In others, they are the only ethnicity \u2026 and it\u2019s not Black History Month. One would think that companies are chasing their dollars since they must represent a new and lucrative market the rest of us are unaware of. Now I\u2019m confused because the economic statistics from the SSA document<\/a> that White net worth is 3.53 times that of Hispanics, and 4.16 times that of Blacks. Aren\u2019t Whites consumers anymore? Why are we invisible?<\/p>\n

Please help if you know a way for me to start getting the memos ahead of time so I can be part of this revolution. I\u2019m tired of being a passive, confused observer.<\/p>\n

* I\u2019d say that social media is the big reason:<\/p>\n

1. Ricochet self-indulgent sanctimony across homogeneous ideological echo chambers.<\/p>\n

2. Fortify said sanctimony with Likes.<\/p>\n

3. Amplify accordingly\u2013 as if there is a worldwide competition called: \u201cNobody Hates [Racism] [Sexism] [Transphobia-ism] More Than Me!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

After a few years you get parabolic graphs like the one above, where the Y coordinate flies off the page into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n

* One of the striking things is just how much they\u2019ve completely lost their heads over identity politics, and, most especially, transgenderism.<\/p>\n

How can it be that there is so much more attention paid to racism today, in the day in which a black has been elected President, than there was in the time of segregation and Martin Luther King Jr.?<\/p>\n

And how can it be that the issue of transgenderism \u2014 a frankly freak condition that affects well less than 1 person in a thousand \u2014 can receive more attention (twice as much, by my reckoning) than racism did in the time of segregation and Martin Luther King Jr.?<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t so much a graph of the megaphone as it is of the mob mind going mad, feeding on its own hysteria to create more hysteria.<\/p>\n

I really hope that this graph gets the wide circulation it deserves. Let the obsessed, manic cretins at the Times figure out how to explain what this graph makes perfectly plain.<\/p>\n

* The best part of the Obama era is the racial healing that Mr. Hopey Changey Lightbringer has brought to us all. This is absolutely the best part and worth putting up with all of the rest \u2013 the lies about keeping your doctor, about Benghazi, the flouting of the Constitutional limits on the President\u2019s power, the unprecedented extension of Federal oversight and micromanagement into school restrooms and the burden of proof in school disciplinary hearings, etc. They are all worth it because, thanks to BHO, we have finally put the great race question behind us once and for all. There are no \u201cWHITES ONLY\u201d signs left anywhere in America, not even on the door to the Oval Office, so we can finally put our racial obsessions to rest and focus on the \u201ccontent of our character\u201d as that great paragon of good character MLK instructed us. This is why old white lady Hillary Clinton must be our next President, because what family other than the Clintons has the character to occupy the White House?<\/p>\n

* If you’re taking flack, you’re over the target, part 592:<\/p>\n

Mexico fights back against ‘The Clown’<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

“What we found out is, again, that the image in general terms of Mexico was quite undervalued or more specifically out of date,” he said. “The image of the contributions of Mexicans and Mexican Americans was damaged and undervalued. And there was no clear image of the importance of the bilateral relationship. That\u2019s when the Mexican government decided that, again, we need to do something.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The contributions of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans? Help me out here, I’m drawing a blank…<\/p>\n

\n

For nearly a year, Mexican officials have chafed at Trump\u2019s inflammatory comments, including his pledges to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and to build a \u201cgreat, great wall\u201d along the southern border \u2014 and to have Mexico pay for it. Just last week, Trump drew scorn when he tweeted “I love Hispanics!” along with a photo of himself eating a “taco bowl” on Cinco de Mayo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the scorners can’t exactly explain<\/i> their scorn.<\/p>\n

\n

While U.S. lawmakers from southern border states have been trying to reassure their Mexican counterparts (mindful of Mexico’s enormous importance to U.S. trade)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Which is more enormous, Mexico’s importance to America’s trade, or America’s importance to Mexican trade? To ask is to answer.<\/p>\n

\n

Carre\u00f1o outlined to POLITICO a multi-layered initiative to burnish Mexico’s image. The plans, some of which are already launched, include greater use of traditional and social media, increased cultural outreach through Mexican consulates, and strengthened ties to American business and civil society groups.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As soon as we build that list of important Mexican and Mexican-American contributors, maybe Carreno can use it to recruit them all to his campaign. The biggest Mexican names that spring to my mind are all leaders of drug cartels. Maybe “el chapo” can help.<\/p>\n

\n

Peter Schechter, director of the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center at the Atlantic Council, said Mexicans are stunned to find themselves “the centerpiece of a nativist rhetoric that basically holds them as symbols of all that is wrong with our immigration policy, with our trade policy.”<\/p>\n

“Do they feel ransacked? Absolutely. Do they feel this has come out of nowhere? Absolutely. Do they feel that not enough Americans stood up and try to counter-punch and try to explain what the realities of the relationship are? Yes,” said Schechter, who has extensive contacts in the Mexican government.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, they’re always welcome in Mexico. Given Mexico’s “enormous importance,” that should be consolation enough.<\/p>\n

What does it say about Mexico, when keeping tens of millions of their own citizens in a foreign country is so important to the Mexican gov’t that they’re reshuffling their whole foreign policy apparatus? Anything good?<\/p>\n

If they want their image to be more up-to-date, maybe they should put an emphasis on beheadings. That’s a relatively new Mexican trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
