"Anchor baby" is now a "derogatory" term

Posted on December 17, 2011 by jewamongyou

American Heritage Dictionary recently amended its definition of the term “anchor baby” to describe it as being “offensive” and “derogatory”:

Steven Kleinedler, executive director of the American Heritage Dictionary, took note when Immigration Policy Center criticized its definition of “anchor baby.”
Kleinedler says American heritage will tweak the definition of the phrase for the third printing of the dictionary’s Fifth Edition by noting that it is an offensive and derogatory term. He acknowledges that it “should have been done in the first place.”

Perhaps they should also change the name of their book to “Mexican Heritage Dictionary” while they’re at it.  I have already pointed out that it makes little sense to stigmatize a term as “offensive” if there is no acceptable alternative.  It is the same here.  The word “cracker” is offensive to some people – and “white” is the acceptable alternative.  “Nigger” is offensive to others – and “black” is the acceptable alternative.  When the Left wants us to ignore a phenomenon, it offers no acceptable term to describe it.  How does one say “mulatto” in Leftese?  “Mixed race” is not the same thing.  What is the acceptable term for “welfare mom/queen”?  Similarly, without going into an actual description, how are we supposed to say “anchor baby”?  They do not expect us to say “a baby that was born in the U.S. for the purpose of establishing…” each time.  No, they expect us to ignore it altogether.
A commenter (Restitutiontouscitizensfirst) on the above-cited blog makes this point very well:

Sorry but not all “Americans” find the term offensive in the least.  If you need to label this as “offensive” perhaps you need to label exactly which people find the term “offensive.”  Then you need to change the title of your book because it is no longer accurate.  I was taught not to criticize unless I can offer positive solutions – where is the alternate “acceptable term being presented?  So when the feminists pointed out that labeling a woman’s availability with the titles Mrs. or Miss was offensive and really nobody’s business they proposed a new title, Ms., which allows the woman to conduct her business without the entanglements created by the other labels.  I expect no less from the complainers about the term “anchor baby.”

The Oregonian admits possible correlation between brain size and intelligence

Posted on December 14, 2011 by jewamongyou

The Left has argued for years that there is no meaningful correlation between brain size and intelligence.  Though science, and common sense, say otherwise, there has been an ongoing campaign to misinform and confuse the public in this matter.
Nobody claims that absolute brain size is a sign of greater intelligence; if this were the case, then elephants and whales would be far more intelligent than humans.  Body size must be taken into consideration.  Furthermore, nobody claims that there is a perfect correlation either; some people with large brains will be stupid, and some people with small brains will be geniuses.  Nevertheless, there is a robust correlation, somewhere in the neighborhood of .4.
The reason the Left is so loath to admit this correlation is that it means that any discovery of average brain size differences between the races would present a challenge to their beliefs.  Just as the rabbis of old built a fence around the Torah, reasoning that if Jews obeyed rabbinical injunctions, they would be less likely to transgress against actual Torah commandments, so too does the Left build fences around their faith.  In this case, they both deny that there are brain size differences (taking body size into account) between the races and that such differences can be a smoking gun for actual I.Q. differences.  Building these fences makes them feel safe and secure in their faith.
However, a recent Oregonian article (from 12/13/11, as of today not yet available online) does admit, indirectly, that brain size can be correlated with intelligence – at least among cabbies!

Street smarts help cabbies’ brains grow

London taxi drivers aren’t like the rest of us.  Researchers have known for more than a decade that these elite cabbies – who train for years to master “the knowledge,” a mental map of 25,000 streets – have a larger than average rear hippocampus, a brain region linked to learning and navigation.

What scientists didn’t know was whether the drivers grew bigger hippocampi as they trained or whether they had big ones (and thus an innate navigation advantage) to begin with.  So a team followed three groups:  trainees who successfully acquired the Knowledge and became cabbies; trainees who failed to qualify; and a control group of non-taxi drivers; over four years, testing them and scanning their brains before, during and after training.

The team found that the brains of qualifying trainees were no different from those of nonqualifying trainees or non-taxi drivers before beginning training.  But as the cabbies learned the Knowledge, their hippocampi grew, literally changing their minds…

The hippocampi of unsuccessful trainees stayed the same throughout, which could suggest that successful cabbies really do have an innate advantage:  Their brains are more malleable than others’.

The mainstream media does have a lot of faith in the stupidity of the masses, that they are unable to put two and two together.  I fear that they may be right.  The masses need bigger brains.

Two recent "enrichment" incidents in Europe

Posted on December 13, 2011 by jewamongyou

A career criminal by the name of Nordine Amrani, probably not a native European, tossed grenades off a building in Belgium.  Four are dead (including two teenagers) and dozens are wounded.

 
Meanwhile, a charity carol event in Britain, was interrupted by enrichers from the Congo, when they chose to vent their frustrations at corruption back home by attacking cancer patients:

Shops were attacked, passers-by threatened and car windows smashed during a demonstration in central London against the election result in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The carol concert was raising money for MacMillan Cancer Support. It was organised by a group of friends whose loved ones had been treated for cancer.
Masked teenage boys ‘stormed’ the singers, throwing bottles of water and hot drinks into the crowd. A woman in her 40s, said to be undergoing treatment for breast cancer, was pulled to the ground. A youth attempted to set light to the Christmas tree, an annual gift from the city of Oslo since 1947, one witness said.

I don’t like being negative.  I really don’t.  I would much rather fill this blog with pictures of cute babies, puppies and happy families frolicking in the sun.  Maybe I’ll post about those topics another day.  But don’t blame me; blame the forces of evil that unleashed hordes of bloodthirsty savages upon the unsuspecting people of the formerly civilized world.

Emma West

Posted on December 12, 2011 by jewamongyou

When I first saw the story of Emma West, the young mother of two who spoke her mind against third-world immigration in a British tram, my heart ached for her.  Yet my comment on the American Renaissance article was one of criticism for her vulgar language and grudging support for her sentiments.
After some reflection, I have changed my mind and I regret having taking that stance.  Other commenters had pointed out that such language is normal for working class Londoners, and that the Left is wont to use language at least as vulgar.  Besides, somebody has to publicly speak their mind and break the ice of silence over the invasion of Britain.
Whatever flaws there may have been in West’s delivery of her message, at this point she deserves the unflagging support of all of us.  A comment, by “Free Ema West” on Mangan’s blog, reads:

Britain First (britainfirst.org) seems to be the main spot for organized support for Emma West. You can send messages of support to her and messages of protest to the authorities through their site.
For those that would like send support directly to her, see this post:
http://www.news.britainfirst.org/political-correctness/support-political-prisoner-emma-west-this-christmas/

For your convenience, here is her direct contact information:
Emma West
C/O HMP  Bronzefield
Woodthorpe Road
Ashford
Middlesex
TW15 3JZ
United Kingdom
My letter of support, along with a check, is already on its way.  Along with whatever legal expenses she will incur, she will also probably have to move.  She will need money, so I urge all of you to send her some money according to your ability.  If not, at least send her a Christmas card.  Don’t forget that, if you’re sending it from outside Britain, the postal rates are higher – so don’t just affix a stamp and drop it in the mail.  Make sure there is enough postage.  Also, given the lack of freedom of speech in Britain, it might be a good idea to use only general words of encouragement; don’t rant about immigration or directly support what she did to get locked up.  The authorities might confiscate the letter and she would never see it.  If somebody knows otherwise, please correct me on this.

Urban League of Portland president resigns amid corruption charges

Posted on December 11, 2011 by jewamongyou

A recent Oregonian article tells us:

After years of looking into spending by the president of the Urban League of Portland, county officials said the nonprofit has until next week to present an acceptable plan of dealing with fiscal concerns if county funding is to continue.
Multnomah County auditors have questioned league president Marcus C. Mundy’s use of the organization’s credit card since 2009 and have repeatedly asked for receipts on about $44,000 worth of expenditures, officials said.
The Willamette Week reported Wednesday that Mundy provided receipts for some of the purchases — which included grocery purchases, a March 2009 trip to Beijing and Mundy’s childrens’ cell phone bills — but auditors are concerned the bills have “no clear relationship to the nonprofit’s mission.”
The county has given the league — which operates on an annual budget of roughly $1 million — about $729,000 over the past three years.
“We pay the Urban League as a provider because the agency is a venerable institution that has a history of helping people of color, seniors, students, low-income people and other vulnerable populations,” said David Austin, county spokesman, in a statement. “That important work the agency does must continue. But fiscal monitoring and tight controls must be a part of that for county funding to continue.”

What I want to know is who gave Multnomah County officials the authority to prop up a racist organization with taxpayer loot.  If the Urban League had “a history of helping white people…“, instead of “people of color”, not only would it fail to receive even one penny of county funding but there would be an uproar over its very existence.  The white people of Multnomah County are being forced to support an organization that openly discriminates against them.
It wasn’t long ago that the Multnomah County board of commissioners came under fire for wasting a far smaller amount of money.  Isn’t racism supposed to be worse than wasting money?
In the end, Mundy resigned, but it is not likely he will return any of his $90,000/yr. salary to taxpayers.  It would be nice if Mundy was held accountable for his theft, but this is unlikely to happen.  I will give credit where credit is due; at least he was taking care of his kids.

An official explains to Mundy, in terms he can understand, why he

was forced to resign; he was told it had to do with his

“personal assets”.

Affirmative action and law students

Posted on December 10, 2011 by jewamongyou

Somebody requested that I post the following article – and I agreed to do so.  Being a man of my word, here it is:

5 Ways Affirmative Action has Lowered the Standards for Law Students

No matter what law school or education you decide on, affirmative action can be a major factor as to whether you get in or not.  Affirmative action was first brought about in the 60’s to help give minority students a chance at entering the same schools as their white counterparts.  However, today the laws surrounding it have astounding results as detailed in part by UCLA law professor Rick Sander (link).  His study found several disturbing results which are listed below.

  1. Poorer grades – Although students of various races who are admitted to a law school based on the same criteria do the same, those given preferential treatment were found by the study to have lower grades in law school.  According to the study, average black students were found to have first-year grades comparable to a white student at the 7th or 8th percentile.
  2. Lower bar exam pass rates – Every law student knows the bar can be an immensely difficult exam for any student.  Only 45 percent of black law students in the study were able to pass the bar on their first attempt while Professor Sandler estimated that without affirmative action, the number would rise to 74 percent.
  3. Not many more black law students – Even with preferential treatment, the study estimates that 86 percent of blacks who apply for law school would have been admitted anyway, regardless of any affirmative action policies.
  4. Fewer lawyers – All this affirmative action may have good intentions, but it actually seems to be hurting the number of black law school students who go on to be lawyers.  The total number of blacks who became lawyers dropped 7.9 percent, according to the study.
  5. Unseen effects – Although all of the above can be measured on some scale, there really is no way to measure the impact a law school student who was admitted mainly because of affirmative action will react to entering a school where their peers are more qualified.
    Effects on these student’s learning, motivation, and goals can all be affected in all sorts of unseen ways.

Diversity in mourning

Posted on December 9, 2011 by jewamongyou

Thanks to HBDchick for linking to this article about the various ways South American cultures deal with the death of a loved one.
One of the commenters, by the name of EMoom, wrote:

This ignorance of diversity in grief reactions becomes a legal problem when police assume that someone’s show of grief isn’t “normal” and therefore indicates the individual may have killed the deceased. Televised comments by police make it clear that they are confident in their ability to determine whether someone is showing real (i.e. “appropriate”) signs of grief at the death of a family member or friend, and that they base their determination of guilt on this assessment.
Crying too much or too little, dressing “inappropriately,” virtually any activity in the aftermath of a violent death (going out to eat, eating too much, drinking alcohol or abstaining, going about normal activities or staying isolated at home) can be interpreted as proof of guilt…

This is a very good point.  A lack of grief can, indeed, be a good clue to the guilt of a spouse or family member.  Law enforcement loses a valuable tool when cultural diversity renders it difficult, or impossible, to determine whether somebody is mourning.  This is just one more example of how cultural diversity can harm society.  I’m still waiting for a good argument in favor of such diversity.

Is miscegenation taking a new turn?

Posted on December 8, 2011 by jewamongyou

I was leafing through a recent edition of The Columbian, a local southern Washington newspaper, when an interesting advertisement caught my eye.  It actually featured a white man with a very dark black woman.  I thought to myself, “This is unusual”.  Upon further reflection, however, I realized that this sort of couple has become more prevalent over the last few months in advertising.  Just today, I was browsing through a catalog I got in the mail, and there it was again!  A little white boy playing next to a little black girl.
Could it be that the crude obviousness of their promotion of black male/ white female pairing has attracted too much attention, and too much ridicule, for the comfort of those who control the media?  Can we take credit for this development?  I don’t think so.
A more plausible explanation is that pressure from black women has prompted this shift in focus.  There is, in fact, a movement among black women to make it more socially acceptable for them to marry out.  Khadija Nassif writes in her blog*:

I’m thankful to see that the BWE movement has achieved lasting victory after only a few short years:

  • The core BWE message that Black women who are serious about marriage must expand their dating options to include nonblack men has firmly entered the mainstream. One can see this with the conversations and publicity surrounding Ralph Richard Banks’ book Is Marriage For White People?
  • A critical mass of African-American women have heard the BWE message, and have MOVED ON into enjoying abundant life in the global village. They’ve stopped restricting themselves to the dead Black community and vampiric all-Black social circles. They’ve stopped hindering their marriage options by refusing to speak or engage in the “nothing but a Black man” self-sabotage…
This quiet and growing exodus of sensible African-American women has not gone totally unnoticed. There’s a YouTube video in which a frightened Black man asks the question, “Are Black Women Becoming Like Asian Women?” (in terms of dating and marrying White men). In terms of sensible Black women, the short answer is YES. As this worried Black male has noticed, increasing numbers of quality, desirable Black women are leaving the toxic all-Black dating market and have MOVED ON.
The victory of the BWE social justice movement will prove to be a lasting one because it’s sustained and enhanced by the ripple effects created by every African-American woman who finds joyous life in the outside world.
But I’m not even sure that people like Khadija can take credit for this change.  Another possibility is that the media/corporate/government establishment has been pushing the black male/white female relationship so aggressively that it is starting to backfire on them.  Thanks to their constant barrage of propaganda, it might now be considered an act of rebellion for black women to date non-black men, or for white men to date black women.  As such, it has attained a degree of coolness.
I am against large-scale miscegenation of any sort, but not all miscegenation is equal.  It is more harmful when there is a gross imbalance, when it is almost exclusively black men dating out.  Not only does such an imbalance leave a lot of lonely and frustrated people, it is also both an expression of, and a contributor to,  a caste system.

Hijacking the term "American"

Posted on December 7, 2011 by jewamongyou

Salem News is having a temper tantrum because the latest version of the National Defense Authorization Act is about to be passed into law, barring a veto from Obama.  While I agree that such laws are dangerous to whatever liberties we have left, the article is misleading in a couple of key issues.

In observing all this, you might ask WHY is this happening right now? Why would the U.S. Senate deliberately nullify theBill of Rights and seek the authorize military action on the streets of U.S. cities?
The answer, my friends, will not comfort you: A global economic collapse is coming, and once started, it will likely unleash a wave of social unrest and rioting that could burn many U.S. cities to the ground. The U.S. Senate is probably trying to rush authorization of the military to operate in American cities before the economic collapse arrives, thereby placing troops deep within the roughest U.S. cities where they stand a chance at halting the runaway riots that are sure to materialize when peoples’ life savings vanish as the banks collapse.

Are we really to believe that hordes of disgruntled A.A.R.P. members (old whites) are going to riot in the streets?  Of course they won’t; they’ll sit home and brood, waiting for a sympathetic reporter to come and interview them so they can tell their tales of woe.  Other bloggers have already pointed out the obvious:  That it is the non-Asian minorities who will riot when their EBT cards stop working.  Whites have forgotten how to riot in this country, while blacks and Hispanics will riot at the drop of a hat.
Another deception is the use of the terms “American” or “American citizen” as if there is something sacred, or unique, about those who possess an official blessing from the Federal Government to be here.

This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a “battleground” upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity.
It’s being called the most traitorous act ever witnessed in the Senate, and the language of the bill is cleverly designed to make you think it doesn’t apply to Americans, but toward the end of the bill it essentially says it can apply to Americans “if we want it to.”

Anwar al-Awlaki was a so-called “American”.  According to the powers that be, and (apparently) the Salem News, there was no fundamental difference between Awlaki and an Iowa farmer whose ancestors arrived with the Mayflower.  Furthermore, there is no official distinction between anchor babies and members of the founding stock that made America great in the first place.  They all have exactly the same rights and exactly the same protections.  Officially, there is no distinction between slum slime and a winner of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.  The ongoing mantras of “diversity” and “equality” have led us down a path where true, red-blooded Americans must be treated the same as Islamic terrorists or “aspiring rap artists”.
By refusing to acknowledge important distinctions between humans, the Left has brought about a situation where we must all be treated as dangerous potential criminals – “for our own protection”.
