The Cuban Invasion
* Cubans in Miami have always looked down on “Anglos” as well – the same Anglos who took them in when they had nowhere else to go. Even the white(r) ones.
White(r) Cubans who look down on blacks are not white supremacists; they are Cuban supremacists. They feel no kinship with other whites.
In many ways, what happened in Miami was a preview of what is happening everywhere in this country today. Americans generously let foreigners into America; the foreigners manipulated the system to their benefit, took over, and screwed the native-born Americans.
And, yes, many Cubans do hate Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and anyone else who isn’t Cuban. The hatred is often mutual.
The idea that Mexicans in Los Angeles will vote for a Cuban from Miami because he is “Hispanic” would be utterly laughable, if so many ignorant folks didn’t take it seriously.
When Mexicans say “Latino,” they mean “Mexican.” Rubio is not one of them.

Student diversity officer who allegedly tweeted ‘kill all white men’ quits over claim she bullied union president
A student diversity officer arrested when she allegedly tweeted #KillAllWhiteMen has quit her role after being accused of bullying a colleague.
Bahar Mustafa – student union welfare and diversity officer at Goldsmiths University, London – announced today she was leaving her post.
Her resignation comes just 24 hours after union president Adrihani Rashid left her £22,000-a-year role claiming she was bullied by fellow sabbatical officers.
Ms Rashid said she was stepping down after being harassed by Alex Etches, the student union’s Campaigns and Activities Officer, and Ms Mustafa.
Ms Mustafa today confirmed she would be resigning following the allegations.
She told the Evening Standard: ‘I am resigning for the preservation of my mental and physical health.
‘I am still committed to the independent investigation which I am confident will shed light on the structural issues that have led to the mental and physical breakdown of all sabbatical officers.’
It is being alleged that Mustafa and Mr Etches created a ‘hostile’ working environment within the student union office.
From Encyclopedia Dramatica: Bahar Mustafa is a rich, spoiled, butterfaced white girl who desperately clings to her self-appointed minority status so she can be a “Diversity and welfare officer” at a school she doesn’t even go to anymore, despite being so pale that a TSA agent would let her through without inspection even if she was wearing a burqa and screaming “Allahu akbar!”.
She recently gained unwanted e-fame after getting herself embroiled in controversy by banning the superior sex and the master race from her communist gatherings… Mustafa later doubled down when given a chance to save herself by instead giving a 7 minute speech about how she can’t be racist because she isn’t white. Now everyone on the Internet is trolling her and making fun of her, spamming her support hashtags and trying to get her fired and arrested for the lulz.
Update: The vote to get her fired didn’t work but she was arrested in October 2015. The Entire Internet LOL’d at once. Unfortunately for white men, though, the charges were dropped.
To understand this asinine kerfuffle, you must first know who Bahar Mustafa is (besides what comes out when your cat walks across your keyboard).
Bahar is a 27 year old, privileged girl who bangs on about anarchism and communism despite living a privileged, sheltered life. She majored in women’s studies gender studies (feminists insisted the name be changed to make it look less like and obvious scam) at the prestigious and expensive Goldsmiths✡ University, which was undoubtedly paid for by her parents. She now lives in their £450,000 home while insisting she is a downtrodden minority and preaching for the downfall of society, one in which she feels she would fare quite well, despite being unable to get a job, her own flat and probably having trouble using the microwave by herself.
The combination of being a rich, 20-something, living at home, jobless college grad with a degree in feminism and an anarchism t-shirt, means Bahar couldn’t be a bigger cliche if she had artificially-dyed hair, a nose ring, and daddy issues. Which, of course, she does.

Don’t Bet on the Harvard Law School ‘Hate Crime’
Heather Mac Donald writes: There are few student species more nakedly ambitious, focused, and future-oriented than the average Harvard law student. Having likely spent his undergraduate years planning admissions maximization strategies, he now has the Holy Grail almost within his grasp. Let him but graduate with a Harvard J.D. and he will face a wealth of job offers from prestigious law firms, government agencies, judicial clerkships, and businesses.
Yet according to student activists, as well as the media and Harvard law school dean Martha Minow, an as yet unknown Harvard law student has risked destroying everything he has so assiduously worked for in order to commit a childish act of defacement ready-made for labelling as a racial hate crime.
On Thursday morning, black tape was found on the portraits of black professors in a Harvard law school building. The tape had allegedly been used previously to cover up the Harvard seal in its various iterations across campus in protest against the seal’s supposed racist connotations. The discovery of the taped portraits triggered the inevitable protests and a meeting with Dean Minow, who announced that racism is a “serious problem” at the Harvard law school and at Harvard University.
The incident will be leveraged into the usual demands for an even larger and more useless diversity bureaucracy. Perhaps there exists a Harvard law student so unable to control his impulses, or so clueless about today’s political environment, that he is willing to risk being expelled and banished from every high-powered job that would otherwise be available to him, simply in order to engage in a juvenile prank. But I am not betting on it.
Don’t expect Harvard to disclose the outcome of its investigations into this latest “hate crime,” just as the UCLA law school never disclosed the outcome of its investigations into its own alleged hate crime a year ago. In the meantime, perhaps Dean Minow could identify those faculty members or students responsible for creating the “serious problem” of racism in the law school, a problem that apparently outweighs the school’s incessant efforts to hire black professors and to admit as many plausibly qualified black students as it possibly can.
Black Guy Guns Down Two White Women
Comments: Today two white women were gunned down in Jackson, MS. The news reports it as a random shooting. But what are the odds that a black shooter only shoots two people, both of whom were white, in an area that is close to 80% black? The shooter also ran over another person.
* There’s that word “random” again. When a black “randomly” fires a gun it always seems to kill a white person.
REPORT: JACKSON, Miss. —Shootings that killed two women and spanned two counties appeared to be random, Jackson Police Chief Lee Vance said Friday.
“At this point, there’s no other conclusion that we can draw,” Vance said. “Based on what we know this minute, a random act or a series of random acts, is the best conclusion I can draw right now.”
Vance said investigators have not determined a motive in the shootings.
“It makes absolutely no sense when you walk up to somebody you don’t know and shoot them,” Vance said. “It’s senseless. It’s terrible. I really feel for the victims.”
Earlier in the day, police released the names of the two women who were killed in the Thursday night shooting spree.
Suzanne Hogan, 48, a native of New York City who recently moved to Madison, was shot to death at the Shell gas station on Watkins Drive and Beasley Road, Jackson police said. Officers were called to the scene at 5:57 p.m. Thursday, where they found Hogan with a gunshot wound to the head.
Witnesses told police that the shooter was a man with dreadlocks who was driving a blue Ford Mustang.
Kristy Lynn Mitchell, 49, of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, was shot at 6:03 p.m. in the parking lot of Logan’s Steakhouse on County Line Road. She was in town on business and had been staying at the Drury Inn, police said.
Elites Doubling Down On Muslim Immigration
* It is also strange that liberals are doubling and tripling down on muslim immigration while pushing the ideas you just reported. They brag about their smarts, but somehow can’t see how incongruous their positions are. It’s like their only goal is to annoy Christians. So they do all they can to de-Christianize the culture while importing non-Christians. They just can’t seem to connect the dots that they are going to exchange one religion’s norms for another.
* Natural selection is a process by which adaptive genetic traits are selected for over less adaptive traits. Altruism, even of the pathological variety, is genetically influenced like all human traits, behaviors and dispositions. Altruism, in a limited amount, can obviously increase reproductive fitness but at some point it reduces it. While throwing one’s co-ethnics under the bus may be materially advantageous for any given individual and their close descendants, in the long run it tends to be maladaptive. Rodham, as one example of many, may be ensuring a very privileged life for herself and for her near-descendants, but her politics are greatly decreasing the number of her genes that will likely be around in a few centuries.
As a slight tangent, it’s fascinating to note how many people fail to understand than Ann Dunham shared fewer genes with her own son than with any random stranger of her own ethnicity. If one doesn’t believe me, one can easily do one’s own survey. “Would a white parent share more genes with their mulatto child or with a random white person?” People have a hard time conceptualizing that phenotype has a very strong correlation with genotype.
* A high percentage of black students drop out of their first year at college. I wonder how many of the BLM crowd are protesting because they’re overwhelmed by actually having to use their brains in class and are in danger of flunking out?
* I noted on my blog that the peak circulation numbers of the LAT were in 1988, something like 1 million and change newspapers. It has been in decline every year since, and accelerating at that in recent years. And yes Steve is right, editors cannot grasp the connection between demographics and their own paycheck.
Recently the LAT fired TJ Simers who got too old, White, and in ill health (costly), and has bought out nearly all the rest of the older White sports writes including Dwyer, Plashke, and a few others. Simers successfully brought suit against the Times…
As far as polyamory goes, even among the upper classes, female infidelity equals no male commitment. Why should it? Even a bit of normalized female infidelity will have upper class men simply spreading their seed and awaiting paternity tests, sending checks to cover expenses, and that’s it. Which swiftly leads to a collapse of the upper classes as it takes more than money to create successful children to STAY in the upper classes. This is particularly so since the class is related to occupation: being a high priced lawyer, Wall St. Exec, corporate leader, etc. Not ownership of a self-organizing landed estate (which even THAT requires management).
Then you have mass Muslim immigration. The FT has an article by Simon Kuper (a Jew btw) about just how AWESOME Muslims in Paris are and forget all that Jew-killing, don’t believe your lying eyes. And all that racisme! against Muslims must be ferreted out, hopefully with show trials and Puritan like punishments.
Aging upper class harpies who were once hot, and idiot, insulated Jews alike can convince themselves to play on the freeway as they haven’t been killed yet. Stupidity can know few bounds.
The Push For Non-Monogamy
Comments: Have you noticed the recent push for non-monogamy lately?
This strikes me as one of these ridiculous liberal ideas that is going to break up a few marriages in the upper middle class, where people generally have good impulse control, and totally devastate the middle class. (The lower middle and working classes have already been devastated.)
* It’s telling all three of those articles were written by women. Urban, middle-aged, increasingly unattractive women. What they’re saying is nothing new, women of their type have spent decades convincing themselves they have more sexual market value than they really do. They desperately want to believe a fun world of promiscuous sex awaits them once they throw off the shackles of patriarchal oppression. Boy are they in for a surprise.
Each of those ladies has maybe five years left before their stock falls to such that the only action they’ll get is from either the very desperate or the very drunk.
